Newton officer acquitted of domestic abuse

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Newton Police officer accused of physically assaulting his former fiancée has been acquitted of a domestic abuse charge.

Dustin S. Hamell, 29, was charged in July following an alleged altercation in their rural Newton home.

Police said the victim’s arm was slammed in a door as she was trying to get into a room and Hamell was also accused of pushing the victim twice. He was charged Hamell with domestic abuse assault.

The jury trial began Monday morning and heard closing arguments Tuesday morning. The jurors began deliberations at approximately 10:45 a.m. Tuesday and returned the not guilty verdict just after 11 a.m.

“It was pretty obvious to about everybody. We had one person that was a little hesitant, but it was pretty obvious that there wasn’t enough evidence,” jury member Mike Burns said. “It was a he said, she said, and the injury was so small you didn’t even know if it was a bug bite.”

Keisha Cretsinger, of the Attorney General’s office, focused her closing statement on the alleged victim — explaining she wanted space from the relationship, but Hamell kept asking her to stay. After a month of arguing, the situation escalated into a domestic assault, she said. After sustaining an injury, she left with their child, and finally sought help from authorities.

Hamell’s defense attorney, F. Montgomery Brown, painted a picture of his former fiancée as a woman who was out to get Hamell. She had a temper and even said she did not like Hamell or care about how she treated him anymore, Brown said.

He also claimed Hamell was a victim of emotional abuse, often threatened by his former fiancée about their son or about calling authorities on him.

Hamell declined to comment on the verdict. His former fiancée did not appear in the courtroom on Tuesday.

Hamell has been an officer with the Newton Police Department for three years.

The Newton Police Department was made aware of the criminal case July 29 after notification from the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office. Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said on Tuesday that Hamell remains on paid leave and an internal investigation is underway.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jody Wilson, left, enjoys a laugh with Optimae Live Services Coordinator Chris Carter on Monday. Wilson and many other patients have had to seek mental-illness crisis response services at times in their lives, and a severe shortage of personnel and facilities is weighing heavily on first responders and the health care system.

F

ortunately for Jody Wilson, she hasn’t had to go to a hospital emergency very often in the past several years. And when she has gone to an ER, her wait time hasn’t been as long as it sometimes is for others.

Wilson is one of perhaps hundreds of Jasper County residents who suffer from severe mental illness, and who occasionally needs crisis services and/or hospitalization. With a dwindling number of people and available bed space in central Iowa and nationwide, the mentally ill are finding it tougher to quickly get needed emergency mental health care.

“I was only there about four hours the last time, and they ended up releasing me,” Wilson said. “But if I needed to stay the night somewhere, they would have had to call around to find a bed.”

Bob Meller of Meller Insurance & Consulting, and Jasper County Human Resources Director Dennis Simon discussed the upcoming open enrollment period for insurance and benefits for county employees. At the urging of county treasurer Doug Bishop, Meller

agreed to help the county possibly implement a $150,000 voluntary term life insurance policy, provided a minimum threshold of 32 employees complete applications for the product.

The item was part of an overall discussion of benefits. The board approved Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield medical plan options for the county’s 165 fulltime employees for 2016, along with vision and Delta Dental benefit options.

Police pursuit ends in Sully crash

County employees might have chance at added life insurance

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Optimae Life Services and associations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness can be valuable and helpful, these are resources that often benefit stabilized patients, who are not in a state of crisis. There are hotlines to call in an emergency, but, by and large, a crisis often involves a trip to a hospital emergency room to be assessed first, as there are typically no 24hour mental-health crisis centers in rural Iowa — or in most parts of the U.S. The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office is responsible for handling many of the custody and transportation issues involving court-committal mental-health cases here.

Even for patients brought to Skiff Medical Center by the Newton Police Department or the Iowa State Patrol, it is the role of the sheriff ’s office to keep a deputy in the emergency room with a patient, if they are a threat to themselves or others.

Lofstroms to speak about work in Tanzania

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

To help enlighten parishoners about work First Lutheran Church has been doing in Tanzania, speakers Dr. Dennis and Paula Lofstrom will share stories about their time and work at two presentations on Sunday.

The Loftstroms will speak at the 9:30 a.m. church service and will present additional information at a 4:30 p.m. gathering. “First Lutheran has been supporting the Lofstrums for about ten years. They are our medical missionaries. The pediatric hospital at Zinga, Tanzania is the third project we have been involved with,� First Lutheran Member Marie Quanbeck said.

Members of First Lutheran have donated several gifts to help build Tanzania’s first children’s hospital over the last several years. Two years ago, they supplied the money for the

construction blocks for the hospital walls and foundation. Last year, they gave enough for all the hospital doors and frames. This year they are raising money for a building to house the hospital’s digital X-ray machine and water purification equipment “At the age when most people retire, Paula, a registered nurse, and Denny, a physician, took up the challenge to serve the people of Tanzania by devoting their lives to providing medical care to the people of this poor nation,�

Quanbeck said.

The hospital is now ready to open and accept patients with the Lofstroms being leaders on the project. They took their decades of experience providing healthcare in the U.S. to Tanzania to help in an area where it is not easy to receive medical care.

The children’s hospital at Zinga started out with no local water utilities, so wells were dug on the 50-acre site to hold the

free water and take care of sanitation needs. Getting electricity to the hospital at a reasonable cost seemed almost impossible until Salma Kikwete, Tanzania’s First Lady, endorsed the project.

She used her influence to convince power company officials to install poles and wire to connect the hospital. Financing for the hospital has come solely through gifts from around the world. Construction would often slow when the money was tight, but through a strong faith in what they were doing, the builder moved forward, even when it was not known where the next dollar would come from.

With that model, the hospital is opening debt free and is also the first stand alone pediatric hospital in Tanzania at Zinga.

First Presbyterian has sent nearly 20 delegations to El Salvador since 1995, beginning with medical delegations to the many rural villages around Berlin, El Salvador and more recently partnering with the village of Munoces.

Friendship between the villagers and the church members has led to scholarships for young people to go to high school, improved water quality and storage facility, fertilizer and seeds to improve harvest yield, new latrines for families without facilities, and many other projects. Delegates have reported that traveling to El Salvador has changed their lives and expanded their view of the world.

We’re only getting about 50 percent of (the county’s 165 eligible) employees to insurance meetings, so only about half of the employees are even hearing about it. If we could get 100 percent of employees to one of the (13 meetings slated for the week of Oct. 26), I think we could hit the 32-minimum threshold.”

The deadline for county employees to apply for the plan is Nov. 6. Meller said life insurance tends to come up later in benefits meetings, and people “tend to get fidgety by then.”

Meller explained some of the plan and premium differences between group term life insurance and voluntary term life insurance. He said he’ll help the county get a plan that will involve paycheck deductions to pay for a $150,000 life insurance policy that has no medical questions.

Bishop discussed with the board getting the word out about the upcoming meetings and the importance of getting at least 32 county employees to enroll in the voluntary term life plan.

The overall increase to employees of the medical insurance for 2016 will be only 1.36 percent, which Meller and the board of supervisors agreed is an outstanding rate.

Gutless online posts are not Cardinal Pride

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Oct. 14, 2015

Some of the social-media criticism of the Newton High School football program is illtimed or ill-placed.

I’ve never coached football, but I’ve learned enough about what motivates young people to know that suggesting coaching changes or talking about the success and numbers of the past doesn’t help the 2015 Cardinals at all. There’s a huge difference between accountability and griping about aspects that are beyond the control of this year’s players.

While the Cardinal varsity has lost all of its first seven games, the team has kept its fire.

How many high school teams lose back-to-back last-second losses to start the season, and are still competitive in the weeks thereafter?

Sure, the only points Newton has been able to score in some 2015 games have been long after the contest was decided, but it takes courage to keep playing hard, knowing the game is out of reach. I salute all young people

who are focused enough to improve themselves and get a job done, regardless of the context of the day, week, year or decade.

It would have been easy to pack up the tent after the first few tough losses, along with some discouraging injuries to key players. It also would have been easy to give up after being shut out and trailing by more than 30 points at home in consecutive games — one of those being Homecoming — but Cardinal Pride and some determination put points on the board in the second halves of those games.

This year’s lineup is not only outsized by a few of its opponents, such as Grinnell, but it’s also a young one that has had some injuries. And even injuries call for sitting out, there are some aspects of football that call for playing in pain. Maybe in a year or two, older players can play with a pain tolerance that they didn’t have earlier in high school.

A season of struggles inevita-

bly brings in discussion of glory years. However, this shouldn’t take place on social media any more than it should on the practice field. Who’s willing to tell coach and staff in person that they should step down or remind the players that many of their predecessors had much better records? Practically no one, and that kind of talk on social media — where players can read it — is of no use regarding this year’s progress.

There are a few things most coaches seem to have in common — especially during a season. They focus their language on successful plays and games rather than avoiding bad ones; you’ll probably never hear the word “fumble” in a pregame speech. They talk about the next feasible goal rather than the past or the state of a program or historical context.

I strongly support accountability, especially since sports should be maintaining an attitude that life is competitive,

and not everyone gets a trophy.

Student-athletes, coaches and supporters should be inspired by a team and school tradition, and should pour just as much of their effort and energy as they do legends of the past.

A heavy focus on winning techniques and dedication is expected. However, let’s not get caught up in things coaches and players do not determine, such as depth, school enrollment, the area population or demographics or the natural abilities of the individual players.

If you feel coaches should step down, tell them in person, rather than mumble about change from the mezzanine that is social media. Let’s not forget that despite no longer having fortunate circumstances, there are still 2015-16 Cardinals fighting to keep alive the highly revered tradition.

Another View

Tax plan proves billionaire populist really just a billionaire

By Morris Pearl Listening to Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s stump speech about taxes, I was intrigued that his official tax plan might break new ground.

I had hoped that candidate Trump shared my view and that of my fellow Patriotic Millionaires — that our tax system needs a massive overhaul and a fairness adjustment. As he has said on the campaign trail, the wealthiest taxpayers contribute very little to the costs of running the country relative to the good fortune their citizenship has afforded them.

Thanks to the lobbying dollars of narrow corporate interests and wealthy campaign donors, our tax system has been turned into Swiss cheese. Would Mr. Trump truly fix this?

Disappointingly, the true winners of candidate Trump’s tax plan are multinational corporations and wealthy taxpayers, including Mr. Trump, his offspring, and me.

Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, Mr. Trump slashes the top tax rate by more than one-third. Members of the top 1 percent would receive an average $184,000 tax cut every year. Taxpayers in the bottom 20 percent would get an average annual tax cut of just $250. In a gift to wealthy friends and his own family, Mr. Trump proposes eliminating the federal estate tax, which applies to estates worth more than $5.4 million ($10.8 million for a couple). This change alone will give at least a $20 million tax windfall to families like the Trumps. American families without

a $10.8 million estate will get nothing — except the bill to make up for the lost revenue about $269 billion from 2016-2025.

Instituted in 1916, with support from prominent Americans such as President Theodore Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie, the estate tax was a response to the grotesque inequalities of power and wealth in the Gilded Age of 1890 to 1920. Is returning to that bygone era what Trump means by “Make America Great Again”?

Trump talks tough about hedge fund managers and offshore tax dodgers, but in the end he gives them a pass. In his call to close the carried interest loophole, Trump said hedge fund managers were “getting away with murder.” While his plan does ostensibly close the loophole, it simultaneously lowers the top income tax rate. So under Trump’s plan, “the hedge fund guys” will keep on killing it.

Trump tells global corporations to come home, but gives a whopping $400 billion tax break to existing tax dodgers who have parked $2 trillion offshore. Instead of requiring them to pay the 35 percent (less foreign taxes paid) that they currently owe to the American people, he only asks them for 10 percent.

So instead of demanding they pay the $600 billion they owe, Trump is only asking these multinational tax dodgers for about $200 billion and letting them pocket the rest. I would not call that “the art of the deal” for small businesses and domestic corporations that are paying their fair share.

Instead of “Making America Great Again,” a Trump tax plan

would further concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few people, including Mr. Trump himself. As former President Carter recently pointed out, our political system is now “an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery.”

Moreover, Trump’s tax plan is fiscally irresponsible. The conservative Tax Foundation estimates it will cost more than $10 trillion over ten years, even after assuming magical growth that never materializes from trickle-down tax cuts. Instead of additional tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations, that $10 trillion would be better invested in a New Deal for America’s middle class.

Giving the ultra-wealthy another tax break is even more unseemly when we consider the deteriorating quality of our public infrastructure, the unmet needs of veterans in our communities, the falling quality of American schools, and the stagnant wages of most of our citizens. It is in no one’s interest, including those of us who will pay higher taxes, to allow our civic and physical infrastructure to unwind any further.

Trump talks a big game about taking on his wealthy peers and helping middle class and struggling households. His official tax proposal calls for the poor to file a one page tax return to the IRS with the words, “I win” written on the form. But if Trump’s tax plan becomes the law of the land, he and I will both write “But millionaires (and billionaires) win MORE” on our tax returns.

In the aftermath of the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, President Barack Obama took to the m i c ro phones to der i d e anyone w h o did not agree w i t h his gun By Ben Shapiro control agenda. Stating that it was only good and right to “politicize” the Oregon shooting, Obama stated, “This is a political choice that we make to allow this to happen every few months in America. We collectively are answerable to those families, who lose their loved ones, because of our inaction.”

Obama then called for “modest” gun regulations, without specifying the nature of those “modest” gun regulations.

No one “allows” mass shootings to happen other than those who refuse to arm guards or give potential victims the ability to protect themselves. But that didn’t stop Obama from using the deaths of innocents as a platform for his childish “DO SOMETHING!!!!!” antics. Obama specifically presented no gun agenda, because none of the regulations he has proposed in the past would have stopped an incident like Umpqua Community College. He implies that he’s interested in full-scale gun confiscation, but he’s far more interested in demonizing his political opposition, painting all of his opponents are mean-spirited and cruel-hearted.

That’s because he’s a jackass. Leveling personal accusations without a shred of evidence makes you a jackass, and Obama fits that definition to a T. Now, he’s not unique in this regard. Hillary Clinton recently suggested that Republicans who oppose Planned Parenthood resemble “terrorist groups” and that conservatives who oppose illegal

immigration want to use Nazi-like “boxcars” to deport millions. Joe Biden infamously stated in 2012 that Republicans wanted to put black people “back in chains.” Because leftist policy prescriptions invariably involve ignoring crucial issues in favor of feel-good incoherence, their main political play is name-calling sans evidence.

But Obama has perfected the craft.

The main problem with this tactic isn’t its cynical political use — it’s that Obama thinks it actually works. Hence, Obama’s jackassery doesn’t stop at water’s edge. Last week, as Vladimir Putin pressed his advantage in Syria, Obama told the world that Putin presented little threat.

Why? Putin went into Syria “out of weakness. ...

I didn’t see, after he made that speech in the United Nations, suddenly the 60-nation coalition that we have start lining up behind him. Iran and Assad make up Mr. Putin’s coalition at the moment.

The rest of the world makes up ours.”

Faculty lounge insults will not stop Putin in Syria. And Obama’s vaunted coalition is illusory: No one will stop Putin or Assad, including Obama. But Obama has become so convinced of the success of the Jackass Strategy that he uses it to no avail on America’s opponents. Putin is not running against Obama; he’s not Mitt Romney. But Obama acts as though Putin is somehow vulnerable to the same sorts of emotional blackmail as Republican opponents.

He isn’t.

We should be smart enough not to fall for Obama’s jackassery when it comes to domestic politics. But America becomes more vulnerable when the president only knows how to insult, and thinks our foreign enemies give a damn about his sneering blather.

Black Hills provides tips for staying warm this winter Newton Daily News As usual, winter will be here quicker than we think. To prepare, Black Hills Energy encourages everyone to make sure gas heating systems and appliance components are clean and working properly before using them this fall.

“Natural gas is a clean, safe, reliable source of energy for more than 70 million natural gas utility customers in the United States, and much of that energy is used to heat U.S. homes and businesses,” said Summer Wade, operations supervisor for the Newton area. “You schedule regular maintenance on a car for efficient performance, safe operation and longer life. In the same way, it’s important to have heat-

ing and ventilating equipment inspected annually by a professional, especially before you use them for the first time each fall.

An annual inspection and tuneup can ensure that your heating equipment is running properly and operating efficiently.”

Black Hills Energy also recommends that customers maintain carbon monoxide detectors and have them inspected regularly to verify proper operation.

A functioning carbon monoxide detector may offer an early warning of the presence of carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless byproduct of the incomplete burning of fuels including wood, gasoline, charcoal and natural gas. Gas appliances require adequate air intake for complete combustion and must

be properly vented for safe and efficient operation.

Signs of a potential carbon monoxide leak can include, but are not limited to, flu-like symptoms – a scratchy throat, runny nose, headache, drowsiness or nausea. Other indicators could include frosted windows due to excessive humidity, or a draft from the front of the furnace when it is not turned on. If you think carbon monoxide is present, leave the premises immediately and call 911 or Black Hills Energy’s emergency service line, 800-694-8989, from a nearby location.

“If you’re a Black Hills Energy customer and you have questions about home heating safety, please call us without hesitation,” Wade said.

Mom of occasional smoker thinks she’s gone to pot

DEAR ABBY: I am a 30-yearold single mom of two young girls.

After my divorce, I returned to my hometown where my family is. I’m enrolled in school full time and set to graduate in two semesters. I have a 3.7 GPA, my girls are well-adjusted and well-behaved, and I have my own place. My mom primarily watches my girls when I’m in school, and I feel lucky to have her support.

The other day, Mom came into my room and opened my bedside drawer. Like most people, this is where I keep my most private things. She discovered that I had a pack of cigarettes and some marijuana. Abby, I don’t smoke often, but sometimes when the kids are down and things are taken care of, I like to smoke a joint, watch some shows and fall asleep. I take care of my responsibilities, and I don’t feel like an occasional joint impacts me negatively.

Mom now says she will no longer watch her grandchildren and doesn’t want to see me again! I feel completely hurt, violated and disrespected. We said some nasty things to each other, and I can’t help but feel like she is completely wrong for reacting the way she did. Any advice would be much appreciated. — RESPONSIBLE (OCCASIONAL) SMOKER IN OHIO DEAR RESPONSIBLE: Your mother overreacted, but she should not have been going into your drawer(s). Apologize for whatever you said to her in the heat of anger.

(She should also apologize to you for snooping.) Make whatever arrangements you need for child care apart from your mother, and either quit smoking or do it away from your home.

Children are a lot sharper than they are often given credit for, and their sense of smell is particularly acute. In a few short years, they will recognize that Mommy “smokes,” so quit setting a bad example. That way, when you tell them that smoking is bad for their health, you won’t be a hypocrite.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for a year. Before we met, my husband posted pictures of his ex on his Facebook page photo album.

I have asked him to remove them because I feel insulted and hurt. I don’t think it’s right his keeping them on the page now that we are married. I feel it’s disrespectful to our marriage and inconsiderate.

We have been fighting over this, and it’s ruining our relationship.

Can you enlighten me about this?

— NO. 1 LADY IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR LADY: I don’t blame you for being upset. By now your husband should have outgrown the need to publicize his previous conquests. While your husband may be thinking that keeping the pictures up makes him look worldly, what it shows is his insensitivity to the woman he married, and I think that’s sad for both of you.

1 Imprisoned woman ordered to

4 Prosecutor: 2 ex-aides to Ron

CRESTON — A 45-year-old south-central Iowa woman who’s been sentenced to 20 years in prison has been told to pay back the vehicle dealership she stole from while working there. Online court records say Lyndsay Huntsman was ordered last week to pay restitution of nearly $432,000 to Creston Automotive in Creston, where she’d worked for several years in the bookkeeping department. She’d made a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to five of the six theft counts against her.

DES MOINES — Two top aides to Ron Paul’s 2012 presidential campaign knowingly concealed payments to an Iowa lawmaker who agreed to endorse their boss ahead of the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday at the start of a trial in which the former Texas congressman is set to testify.

Benton faces one count of making false statements and Kesari faces five charges, including conspiracy and obstruction.

Both men, who were in the courtroom, have pleaded not guilty.

CEDAR RAPIDS — A December trial has been scheduled for a 31-year-old man charged with killing two people in Cedar Rapids last year. Last week Kendu Petties pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder. Petties’ trial is set to begin Dec. 14. In August he was arrested in Mesa, Arizona, on an Iowa warrant. Police say 22-yearold Quintrell Perkins and 20-year-old Sierrah Simmons were fatally wounded on April 2, 2014, when shots were fired from outside the Cedar Rapids home they were in.

Man serving prison time for forgery has died IOWA CITY — An Iowa prisons official says an inmate serving a forgery sentence has died. Corrections Department spokesman Fred Scaletta said in a news release Tuesday that 46-year-old Todd Hamann died Saturday at a hospital in Iowa City. Scaletta said Hamann died from pancreatitis. Hamann was convicted of two counts of forgery in Woodbury County and began serving his sentence on March 1, 2013.

Woman pleads not guilty to $23K theft

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Wisconsin woman has pleaded not guilty to charges including first-degree theft and dependent adult abuse-financial exploitation.

Between Jan. 13, 2014 and April 6, 2015, officers found that she had made unauthorized purchases for personal gain from the victim’s bank accounts totaling more than $23,500.

A pre-trial conference is set for Nov. 30 with a trial date scheduled for Dec. 9.

Marshalltown man causes crash in Grinnell

IDOT worker to give special presentation about Iowa’s rest stops Newton Daily News Prior to 2000, Iowa’s interstate rest stops were nothing more than that, a place to use the restrooms or vending machine and listen to the weather radio. Steve McMenamin of the Iowa Department of Transportation will show how that has changed with a program at 7 p.m. on Oct. 20 at the LeGrand Pioneer Heritage Library, 204 N. Vine St. Sixteen of the interstate rest stop properties have been completely redone. Although the buildings use a standardized design each one is unique to the local area.

Each of these rest stops has a specific theme and the main building, grounds, picnic shelters

and artwork reflect this and it is what makes each rest area unique and interesting.

One example of this is the I-380 rest stop in Linn County which celebrates Grant Wood.

Eastern Iowa is Grant Wood territory and this entire rest area is designed around the life and work of Iowa’s most famous artist.

Wood was born about 40 miles northeast of the rest area in 1891and his family moved to Cedar Rapids in 1901. Wood attended school in Minneapolis and The Art Institute of Chicago and traveled in Europe. In 1924, he returned to Cedar Rapids and rented a loft. It had no address, so he named it “5 Turner Alley” which is com-

Other features of the rest area that pay hom-

Benches outside are limestone blocks carved to look like bales of hay. The Iowa state quarter is represented in the east entryway — the quarter also

pays homage to Wood and his influence on the Iowa art scene. The colorful terrazzo floor mural depicts rows of Iowa farm crops and blends into the rest room vestibules. The vestibules feature Grant paintings, transcribed to ceramic tile, continuing the theme. A small

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

Clinton, Sanders clash on guns, economy, foreign policy The Associated Press LAS VEGAS — Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders clashed over U.S. involvement in the Middle East, gun control and economic policy in the first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night, vigorously outlining competing visions for a party seeking to keep the White House for a third straight term.

Yet in a moment of political unity — and levity — Sanders leapt to Clinton’s defense on the issue of her controversial email practices as secretary of state.

“The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails,” Sanders exclaimed as the crowd in Las Vegas roared with applause. A smiling Clinton reached over to shake his hand and said, “Thank you.”

While the five candidates onstage took issue with each other, they also repeatedly sounded traditional Democratic themes — such as fighting income inequality — that are sure to carry over to the general election campaign against the Republicans. And they sought to cast the GOP as a party focused on sowing division and denigrating minorities and women.

Before they face the Republicans, the Democrats must choose their own candidate. And throughout most of the two-hour debate Clinton played the role of aggressor, an unexpected shift for a candidate who had barely mentioned her Democratic rivals since launching her campaign six months ago. Until Tuesday night, Clinton and Sanders — who has surprisingly emerged as her toughest competition — had

circled each other cautiously and avoided direct attacks.

After Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, derided “a casino capitalist process by which so few have so much,” Clinton said it would be a “big mistake” for the U.S. to turn its back on the system that built the American middle class. Asked whether she thought Sanders, who has a mixed record on gun control legislation, had been tough enough on the issue, she said simply,” No, I do not.”

Sanders is drawing big crowds on the campaign trail and challenging Clinton’s fundraising prowess, but he’s largely unknown to many Americans. The debate offered him a high-profile opportunity to cast himself as an electable alternative to Clinton and appeal for support beyond his liberal base.

A Newton man was arrested after threatening to kill a man with his gun.

Zachary W. Souder, 21, is charged with harassment after authorities were called at 1:08 p.m. Friday to the 1800 block of West Fourth Street North.

Souder had sent numerous texts to his ex-girlfriend and her brother, making allegations about her and her family, according to a police report. One of the texts he sent said the next time he saw him he was “gonna take his weapons Souder permit, his .357 Magnum and he was going to kill him,” according to the police report.

Souder admitted to sending the message and had received a permit to purchase a gun on Aug. 24, police said.

He was taken to the Jasper County Jail where he posted a $2,000 bond. A no-contact order was also requested by the victim.

Report gives Mississippi River basin a D+ ST. LOUIS (AP) — A report card is out on the Mississippi River basin, and the grade is not good: a D+, with the river’s aging transportation infrastructure topping the list of concerns.

The report by America’s Watershed Initiative assesses categories such as the abundance of clean water, flood control and risk, ecosystem health, the economy and recreation on the river and its watershed, which touches parts of 31 states and covers two-fifths of the continental U.S. The category of biggest concern is the condition of infrastructure such as locks and dams, creating what initiative members call a threat to the nation’s economy.

“Our aging water infrastructure desperately weakens America’s capability to reliably and efficiently move and export food and goods,” said Stephen Gambrell, director of the Mississippi River Commission and a member of the initiative’s steering committee.

It is the first report on the waterway released by the organization — comprising 400 representatives from business and the public sector with expertise in river and conservation issues ranging from commerce to agriculture to flood control — since it was founded in 2010.

Fiscal panel lowers Iowa revenue projections The Associated Press DES MOINES — A panel of state budget experts lowered Iowa revenue projections for the current fiscal year Tuesday, though there are no immediate plans to seek spending cuts.

Citing a slowdown in agricultural income, the Revenue Estimating Conference predicted the state will take in about $7.05 billion for the fiscal year that began July 1.

That’s less than the $7.18 billion they estimated earlier this year.

“It’s partly cloudy. The sky is not falling,” said Department of Management director

David Roederer. “We don’t have near the problems we had in the past.”

Roederer sits on the panel with Legislative Services Agency director Holly Lyons and an independent member, Mason City economist David Underwood. The group said they were concerned about a decline in farm income, due to a drop in corn and soybean prices, though they noted that the national economy was fairly stable.

Roederer stressed that these numbers are based on just the first few months of the fiscal year. He added that he does not currently anticipate the

state will need to consider budget cuts due to declining revenue.

Revenue is made up of personal and corporate income taxes, sales and use taxes and other sources.

The numbers discussed at the meeting do not have any bearing on the state budget process. The panel will meet again in December to set the revenue projection that the governor must use to craft the next state budget.

For now, the panel predicts a slight revenue uptick to $7.35 billion for the next fiscal year.

Senate Appropriations

Committee Chairman Bob Dvorsky, D-Coralville, said in a statement that he expected the revenue would allow lawmakers to “maintain our investments in expanding Iowa’s middle class during the 2016 session.”

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford, stressed caution, saying in a statement that “the hard-working taxpayers of Iowa send the Legislature a finite amount of resources each year, and we must live within those means.”

The Revenue Estimating Conference was created

Audiologist Since 1979

during budget reforms in the 1990s and is designed to force the governor, Legislature and an independent economist to agree on how much the state will collect in taxes and use that as a base for a new state budget.

Not long before the panel met, a Legislature’s administrative rules committee was reviewing a proposed rule change from Gov. Terry Branstad to expand a sales tax exemption for items used by manufacturers. The move could cost the state in lost general fund revenue, though it would likely not impact the current fiscal year.

Mental Health Continued from Page 1A Per Iowa Code, a police officer can take a patient to an emergency facility to maintain their safety, but the patient must then be assessed by a doctor. If the patient is then determined to be a threat, a 48-hour court order to hold them involuntarily can be granted by a judge. The judge must also be contacted to extend the court order if the patient is in the emergency room (or any other facility) longer than 48 hours.

This uses both round-the-clock staffing resources of both the sheriff ’s staff and Skiff nurses who attempt to find a bed for the patient. Skiff, like many small hospitals, doesn’t have any designated mental health beds, so staff runs down a list of about 35 qualified facilities that could accept a patient, if a bed is avail-

able.

“That’s one deputy we don’t have for something going on anywhere else, because they can’t leave the patient’s side, if there’s a court-ordered commitment,” Sheriff John Halferty said. “If the police are called to a scene of an individual having a crisis, the reporting party is usually the individuals themselves, or a concerned friend, neighbor or family member, so we talk to them first. If family calls the police, they are often at wit’s end, and don’t know what else to do.”

The sheriff ’s office has three part-time drivers who move patients in and out of Jasper County to mental health facilities far and wide, from Sioux City to northeast Iowa — even northern Missouri, in some cases; wherev-

SAVE the DATE Community Conversation

Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 6:30 p.m.

Newton City Council Chambers The Newton Daily News and the Newton Police Department are sponsoring a community conversation to raise awareness about mental illness in our community.

Featuring representatives from Skiff Medical Center, Jasper County Sheriff's Office, Capstone Behavioral Health, Optimae Life Services, NAMI, Central Iowa Community Services and Iowa District Court.

NEWTON

DAILY NEWS

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Capstone Recovery Center, Inc. is one of many local organizations that assists with mental health care. However, before some individuals can benefit from treatment or assistance programs, they first need crisis services, and there are not many inpatient beds or psychiatrists in central Iowa to help fill those needs.

er a suitable bed can be located. These patients have to be returned to Jasper County, either to go home or attend court hearings.

Training is an issue as well. Unless a law enforcement officer has sought out individual mental illness crisis training, the typical Iowa officer has a small amount of training that is specific to handling a mental-health crisis.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said each of his officers received four hours of state-mandated mental health training in 2014, but that’s only at an awareness level.

“Law enforcement agencies are on the front line of the mental health problem, and unfortunately, we are seeing more and more cases each year,” Burdess said.

“Police officers are often forced to de-escalate the problem the best they

can, and refer community members with mental illness to treatment facilities, but there is little accountability in that.”

Burdess said a lack of available beds puts pressure on emergency room staff and police and paramedics, who don’t specialize in mental health cases.

“We have found that the shortage of emergency evaluation and treatment facilities has pushed the issue back on to the local responders and rural hospitals, who are not fully equipped to handle these issues long term,” he said.

Gov. Terry Branstad’s decision to close state mental hospitals in Clarinda and Mount Pleasant made an impact, even though those facilities were not being used to their full extent. Jasper County Chief Deputy Duane Rozendaal said deputies

have transported patients to or from those two hospitals in the past, so the four state hospitals were all part of the mental health community.

Burdess said many people in a mental health crisis fall in between first responder guidelines. There is a large majority who have neither a life-threatening physical injury, nor have they committed a crime that warrants an arrest and possibly being taken to jail.

“In recent times, there have been few resources for our police officers to utilize in getting community members with mental illness assistance, with the exception of taking them to the local hospital,” Burdess said. “Many of the mentally ill patients are combative and not overly cooperative during an evaluation

and court committal process, which requires an increased level of man hours in keeping a police officer with them to protect not only hospital staff, but the subject themselves.”

Heather Clayton was the emergency department director at Skiff Medical Center until recently leaving to take a similar position in Marshalltown.

She’ll undoubtedly see some of the same challenges — a limited number of rooms within the emergency department and a vast lack of available psychiatrists in central Iowa.

Placement is difficult not only because of a lack of available beds but also because finding an on-call psychiatrist to see patients is a huge challenge, she said.

“It’s every bit as bad as the headlines say,” in terms of beds and psychiatrists, Clayton said.

Wilson, the Optimae client, said she’s grateful to the organization, which offers individual therapy and group activities among its many services. Staying active, along with stopping marijuana use and finding a medicine that is very beneficial, have been key to helping her avoid the need for frequent crisis services.

“I was in the hospital a lot in the 1980s, but not as often in the past few years,” she said.

“My husband, Mark, has been a big supporter.

I hope I never need the ER again, but no one can change the future.”

Lady Dutch spoil Cardinals’ Senior Night in LHC play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Stephanie Hoebelheinrich (6) serves in Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference match against Pella. The No. 15th-ranked Lady Dutch defeated Newton in three sets on the Cardinals’ Senior Night.

NCMP assigned to Fort Dodge regional

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NCMP’s Aquagirls knew they’d be on the road for regional diving and swimming competition later this month — just not as long of a road trip as it will be.

Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union announced the diving and swimming regional assignments Monday afternoon.

NCMP heads to Fort Dodge for diving on Oct. 29 and swimming on Oct. 31.

“We haven’t been to Fort Dodge for a meet in years. It may have been when the girls’ state meet was still in Fort Dodge,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “It’s a good pool that holds a lot of memories for me and (assistant coach) Chris (Forsyth).”

Joining the Aquagirls and host Fort Dodge will be Algona, Boone, Cedar Falls, Charles City, Sioux City Metro, Spencer and Storm Lake. Diving competition begins at 5 p.m. Oct. 29 and swimming competition begins at noon Oct. 31.

“There is only one team seeded ahead of us in the power rankings that is in our district — Cedar Falls. We should have a great chance to be super competitive. Where ever we are assigned, we always try to go in and make it our pool,” Patterson said.

Other regionals are at Indianola, Johnston, Linn-Mar, Southeast Polk and Clinton. Indianola’s regional will dive at Fort Dodge also.

The IGHSAU diving and swimming championship meet is Nov. 6-7 in Marshalltown.

Newton High’s Cardinals came up short in scoring points off the serve Tuesday against Class 4A 15th-ranked Pella’s Lady Dutch.

The Lady Dutch took advantage in winning the Little Hawkeye Conference match, 25-11, 25-12, 25-18.

The Cardinals dropped the conference match after honoring their six seniors and their parents in a pre-match ceremony. Stephanie Hoebelheinrich, Emily Fitzgerald, Allison Ergenbright, Jessie Smith, Adrienne Bergman and Fran Lucas played in their final home match.

“Pella brought their A game,” Newton head coach Laura Sherratt said. “We are ready to work hard in practice Wednesday to make improvements.”

Newton drops to 16-18 overall and 1-4 in LHC play. The Cardinals wrap up the regular season Tuesday in a conference match at Norwalk, which is ranked No. 14 in Class 4A. The Cardinals were 35-of-37 serving the ball, but only scored 10 points off the serve. Pella (2410, 4-1 LHC) went 61-of-68 from the service line, scoring 41 of its 75 points off the serve.

Lucas served up a point to pull the Cardinals even at 3-3, then Pella had back-to-back serving runs of four points. Junior Kaytlin Ahn, who had five service points on the night, served up two for the Cardinals to make it 14-8.

Another four-point run by the Lady Dutch pushed it to a 24-11 lead in the first set. Pella won the set on a defensive point.

With junior Taylor Shipley serving, the Cardinals pulled ahead 3-2 to open the second set.

One of those points came on a kill by junior Megan Pressgrove.

The set was back-and-forth until the Lady Dutch pulled out to an 11-7 lead. The Cardinals could not get any closer.

In the third set, the Cardinals were hanging with Pella in a point-for-point contest early. The Lady Dutch got the upper hand at 12-8.

Ahn, who led the net attack for the Cardinals with eight kills,

downed one of those kills then served two points. Again, the Cardinals got close, but the Lady Dutch fended them off for the victory.

Newton could not stem the potent net attack of Pella senior MaKenna Bogaard, who downed 10 of her team’s 28 kills in the match. Kiki Pingel was credited with 22 sets for the Lady Dutch.

The Cardinals had 17 kills as a team. Pressgrove had five and Shipley put down three kills. Junior Morgan Allen had one kill.

Shipley put up 11 set assists, Pressgrove had five set assists and Hoebelheinrich had one set assist.

Allen was credited with two block assists. Ahn, Pressgrove, Shipley, Ergenbright and Smith each had one block assist. Lucas came up with nine digs, and Pressgrove had seven digs. Ahn made four digs. Credited with one dig each were Hoebelheinrich, Fitzgerald, Bergman and sophomore Audrey Lucas.

Pressgrove served for two points. Shipley, Bergman and Fran Lucas each had one service point.

Pella won the junior varsity

match, 25-21, 25-21.

Newton’s freshman A-team lost 25-12, 25-9 and the B-team lost 25-13, 23-20. Brittney McConnell had a kill and a service ace for Newton while Hannah Edwards had an ace serve. Tegan Simmons, Desirae Shelton and Kyleigh Stevenson each had a kill.

In the B match, Anna VanDam served up an ace and Carolyn-Kaye Kimmel had strong serving runs.

“In the A-team match, we played weak, not aggressive. We came off a great week of practice and worked on a lot of passing, but we didn’t pass well throughout the night,” NHS freshman coach Michaela Wood said.

“We are battling some injuries and missing a couple of players.

We had to mix it up, but the girls took it well and made some adjustments.”

Newton’s freshmen play in Saturday’s tournament at Des Moines Lincoln.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Jessie Smith (13) shares a laugh with her parents, Doug and Cindy Smith, as they walk in on Senior Night Tuesday. The Cardinals honored six seniors and their parents before their final home match against Pella in Little Hawkeye Conference action.

Cubs beat Cardinals, advance to NLCS CHICAGO (AP) — Joe Maddon posed for a selfie on the field with his wife. Jon Lester sprayed champagne with his young son. Rocker Eddie Vedder partied on the mound.

For the Chicago Cubs and their ever-hopeful fans, this bash was a long time in the making.

Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez homered and the fresh Cubs clinched a postseason series at Wrigley Field for the first time ever, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4 Tuesday to win the NL Division Series in four games.

“This is all just baseball fantasy, right?” a drenched chairman Tom Ricketts said.

Only once since they last brought home the World Series in 1908 had the Cubs won a playoff series and never before had they finished off the job at their century-plus-old ballpark.

But with a raucous, towel-waving crowd jamming the Friendly Confines, the North Siders gave generations of fans exactly what they wanted. And as they gathered in the pulsating neighborhood, the lit-up marquee at Wrigley Field said it all: Cubs Win. “I can only imagine what the next thing is going to look like,” said Lester, the lefty who twice won the World Series with Boston.

“And the next thing after that.”

The crowd started roaring before the first pitch.

And when closer Hector Rondon struck out Stephen Piscotty on a ball in the dirt and catcher Miguel Montero made the tag to end it, the Cubs came streaming out of the dugout.

“They deserve it,” Rizzo said in the middle of the party. “Hopefully, this is just a taste of what’s to come.”

Up-and-comers all season under their first-year manager, Maddon’s bunch of wildcard Cubs had arrived.

As the music blared and the strobe lights flashed in the clubhouse, Cubs players and coaches soaked each other. Then they took the celebration back onto the field as fans went crazy — Vedder, from the local area, pitched right in.

The Cubs will face the

winner of the Los Angeles Dodgers-New York Mets matchup. The Dodgers won Game 4, 3-1, Tuesday to even the series at 2-2.

Chicago will play Game 1 Saturday on the road.

No team was hotter down the stretch than Chicago, which finished third in the majors with 97 wins after five straight losing seasons.

The Cubs knocked out the two teams that finished ahead of them in the NL Central, beating Pittsburgh in the wild-card game and sending St. Louis home after it led the majors with 100 wins.

“I think we’re too young to even realize what we just did,” young slugger Kris Bryant said. “It truly is a special time right now.”

The banged-up Cardinals had reached the NLCS in the last four years.

“It was just unfortunate,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. “This

is a team that was as impressive to watch from Day One as any team I’ve ever been around.”

“That’s always hard to walk away from. We had an opportunity maybe to get back home and do things differently, but they took advantage of the opportunities they had,” he said.

Rizzo’s solo drive to right off losing pitcher Kevin Siegrist in the sixth put Chicago back on top 5-4 after St. Louis scored two in the top half.

As if the fans were already hollering at the top of their lungs after that home run, they were really screaming after Schwarber’s monstrous shot leading off the seventh. The ball landed on top of the right-field videoboard and wound up nestled against a railing on the front edge.

The late drives by Rizzo and Schwarber along with Baez’s three-run homer off John Lackey in the second came after Chicago set a postseason record with six long balls in Monday’s win.

Cubs starter Jason Hammel allowed two runs and three hits.

Seven relievers combined to hold the Cardinals to two runs and five hits the rest of the way. Trevor Cahill picked up the win and Rondon worked the ninth for the save.

Tigerhawks take a set, lose to Warhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NEW SHARON — Taking a set from North Mahaska inside its home gym gave Colfax-Mingo’s volleyball t e a m plenty of confidence heading into the rest of the match.

North Mahaska Wilson squashed the Tigerhawks’ momentum with a win in the third set and then closed out the four-set win with a narrow advantage in the fourth set.

The Warhawks remained in third place in the South Iowa Cedar League following a 2521, 13-25, 25-19, 25-23 victory on Monday.

The match featured Colfax-Mingo sophomore Ries Wilson and North Mahaska’s Olivia Boender, who are third and fourth, respectively, in kills in the SICL. Wilson did her part for the Tigerhawks, collecting 20 kills. She had nine digs, three aces and two blocks. She currently ranks third in the league with 219 kills and fifth in digs with 205.

Megan Earles surpassed 300 assists on the season as she finished with 24 assists in the match. She ranks third in the SICL with 315 assists.

Aranda Woods contributed six kills against the Warhawks, while Dakota Hostetter chipped in four kills and seven digs. Chelsea Russell recorded 22 digs and three aces.

Colfax-Mingo fell to 5-15 on the season and 3-7 in conference play.

North Mahaska entered the match with losses in four of its five previous matches but improved to 17-10 overall and 8-2 in SICL play.

Colfax-Mingo plays in another SICL match at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Keota. It travels to the Woodward-Granger tourney on Saturday.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa senior defensive end Drew Ott, left, pulls down Illinois tailback Ke’Shawn Vaughn from a sitting position during the Hawkeyes’ 29-20 win at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday. Ott was injured later in the game and Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz confirmed Tuesday that Ott is lost for the season after suffering a torn ACL.

Iowa loses DE Drew Ott for season IOWA CITY (AP) — No. 17 Iowa is one of the nation’s most surprising teams after answering nearly all of its preseason questions.

Now the Hawkeyes have a new uncertainty to deal with: Can they keep winning while they keep losing guys?

Iowa (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) is down five opening-day starters ahead of Saturday’s West Division showdown at No. 20 Northwestern (5-1, 1-1).

The biggest blow came Tuesday, when coach Kirk Ferentz confirmed that star defensive end Drew Ott was lost for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee.

“It’s a big void. But this team has done a good job of handling adversity,” Ferentz said.

The Hawkeyes will have to do so again this weekend.

Ott, wide receiver Tevaun Smith (knee), running back LeShun Daniels (ankle), left tackle Boone Myers (neck stinger) and right tackle Ike Boettger (left ankle) were all left off Monday’s depth chart.

Ferentz said it’s doubtful any of them will play this week.

Even quarterback C.J.

Beathard alluded to some extra soreness this week — he was seen with ice wrapped around his hip and groin after last week’s 29-20 win over Illinois — but he said he’ll play this week.

“It’s nothing serious,” Beathard said.

Ott is Iowa’s best pass rusher and arguably its best player. He is sixth in the Big Ten with 7.5 tackles for loss and five sacks, despite being slowed by an elbow injury earlier this season.

Parker Hesse, a 240-pound freshman who played quarterback in high school and was a linebacker as a redshirt last season, will get the start in place of Ott. “It’s not on me or anyone else to fill everything that he brings.

It’s the entire defense. We’re losing a lot,” Hesse said.

The Hawkeyes line struggled at times without their bookend tackles against Illinois.

Iowa was forced to use a true freshman guard, James Daniels, at tackle.

James Daniels likely will be the first rookie to start there in Ferentz’s 17 seasons this weekend.

But Iowa has had a much eas-

ier time replacing Tevaun Smith and LeShun Daniels.

That’s because another Smith, freshman wideout Jerminic Smith, emerged as a potential star against the Illini — and Jordan Canzeri has shouldered the workload like no running back in school history.

Smith’s first four career catches came against the Illini. He finished with 118 yards, highlighted by acrobatic catches of 49 and 46 yards on third downs.

Canzeri broke the school record with 43 carries for 256 yards, including 11 rushes in a row on Iowa’s most crucial drive in the fourth quarter.

Daniels was supposed to be Iowa’s workhorse back, with the smaller Canzeri as the change of pace guy. But Canzeri has proven to the kind of lead back the Hawkeyes desperately need.

Still, Canzeri and the rest of the Hawkeyes could be forgiven for looking forward to next week, which will be Iowa’s lone bye.

“When we get to the bye week, it’ll be nice to recover and rest a little bit. But right now we’ve just Northwestern on our mind,” Beathard said.

Former Hawkeye Sash overdosed on pain meds IOWA CITY (AP) — Former NFL and Iowa safety Tyler Sash died from an accidental overdose after mixing two powerful pain medications, and a history of painful injuries was a contributing factor, a medical examiner said Tuesday.

Additional studies will Sash look at whether Sash, 27, suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a

brain disease caused by repetitive trauma that has been found in several former NFL players.

The results will be available in eight to 12 months, according to a statement from the Iowa State Medical Examiner’s office.

Sash, a standout safety at Iowa who won a Super Bowl during with the New York Giants in 2012, was found dead at his home in Oskaloosa on Sept.

8. An autopsy was conducted the next day, but the results weren’t clear until laboratory results were completed.

The autopsy determined the cause and manner of death was

an “accidental mixed drug toxicity involving methadone and hydrocodone,” the office said Tuesday. Both are legal narcotics used to relieve severe pain, but are also highly addictive.

The medical examiner said that a recent shoulder dislocation and a history of chronic shoulder pain suffered by Sash also were “significant conditions” in the death.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz told reporters Tuesday that he was “very sorry to learn about” Sash’s cause of death.

“His passing has been a very, very sad thing,” Ferentz said.

Iowa State enters brutal stretch vs TCU, Baylor AMES (AP) — A somewhat promising start has given way to a troubling reality for Iowa State in Big 12 play.

If that sounds familiar to Cyclones fans, it should.

The Cyclones (2-3, 1-1 Big 12) beat lowly Kansas to start league play and then allowed Texas Tech to pile up a school-record 776 yards in a 66-31 win last weekend.

It was a bad way to get ready for the two top teams in the Big 12: Iowa State hosts No. 3 TCU (6-0, 3-0) on Saturday before a road trip to No. 2 Baylor (5-0, 2-0).

It will take arguably the biggest win in school history just to earn a split over the next two weeks — and Iowa State would still be below .500 with five games to go.

“We didn’t need a wakeup

call. But there’s a realization of what’s ahead,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “If we don’t adjust to it, we’ll see more outcomes like we did” last week.

What was most troubling for the Cyclones was how their supposedly improved defense performed against Texas Tech.

Iowa State allowed seven points against Northern Iowa in the opener and was solid in losses to Iowa and Toledo, both of whom are now ranked. Kansas managed one offensive touchdown.

The Red Raiders, however, threw for 515 yards and six touchdowns without an interception. They ran for 261 yards — on 8.4 yards per carry — and three more scores. They converted all but four of their 15 third downs. And Texas Tech has already lost to TCU and Baylor.

“We’ve got to play faster,” Rhoads said. “We got a little intimidated early in that game Saturday with the speed of it ...

I’m talking about the speed of the actual plays, and then early success of theirs created a little fear in our guys.”

On offense, there’s been some rumbling from fans hoping the Cyclones will soon turn to sophomore backup quarterback Joel Lanning. Sam Richardson had three picks against the Red Raiders, and he continues to throw passes Iowa State would rather not see come out of a senior’s hands.

Richardson will start against the Horned Frogs. But Lanning has been slowly getting more and more playing time as the season has gone along.

“He didn’t throw it with the accuracy we’re accustomed to.

He’s got to get back to doing that,” Rhoads said of Richardson.

Dodgers top Mets, force decisive Game 5 NEW YORK (AP) — Clayton Kershaw finally came through in October, just in time to save the Los Angeles Dodgers from another early exit.

Pitching on short rest with the season on the line, Kershaw shut down the New York Mets for seven innings and Justin Turner delivered a key hit against his former team that sent the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory Tuesday night and forced the NL Division Series to a deciding Game 5.

The series shifts back to Los Angeles on Thursday night, with fellow Dodgers ace Zack Greinke scheduled to start against Jacob deGrom.

The winner hosts the wild-card Chicago Cubs in the NL Championship Series opener Saturday.

“Definitely happy to be going back home,” Kershaw said. “They like us a little better there.”

With Chase Utley on the bench again, the Dodgers handed hometown Mets rookie Steven Matz his first loss in the major leagues.

DAILY NEWS 641-792-5320

Astrograph

This day is an occasion. What occasion? Your choice. The nurturing Virgo moon will help you commemorate the occasion with a suggestion: Plant something before it’s too late. These are beautiful times.

Are you having trouble seeing that? Plant anyway. Whatever you seed will grow.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 14). Happy birthday and welcome to your year of finally getting the admiration you deserve. Next month will be the hardest, so get ready -- you’ll need a few more skills in your arsenal. Come on, though, you’ve never been averse to learning. There’s

a party in February that will change the way you think of yourself. Taurus and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 27, 31, 22 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Here’s the way that’s worked best for you and will continue to work best for you: Do things when you are ready to do them. Don’t jump just because someone else is telling you to. Go at your own pace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Children have nothing better to go by than their visceral response to people. Their sophisticated defensive skills

are primal. That’s a juxtaposition that works well and can be duplicated at any age.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Flaunt. The dictionary defines it as an act of ostentation, drawing attention in hopes of gaining admiration. But if you got it, why not? It’s a celebration of that thing, for a moment...

of the special way he makes you feel. You know, that was in you all the time. He just activated it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Domestic happiness helps you feel emotionally supported enough to tackle the challenges. When you succeed, it’s a source of pride for your loved ones, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You may project onto another person angel-like qualities that they do not currently possess.

And yet, they may possess these qualities in the near future because of your attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your hard work has paid off, and now you can chill out, revel and reflect on the curious path that brought your unpredictable success. Life is smiling at you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). So, you love him. Is it for his virtue? Probably not. It’s because

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When it reminds you of the old romance, take a moment

to replay the whole story in your mind -- the whole story, especially the end bit. The memory will have a positive effect on your current relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Maybe it doesn’t make the most sense to you right now, but you’re a lifelong learner. Don’t forget that.

Keep going until the pixels arrange themselves into a clear picture.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Communication is your day’s agenda. People talk; you listen. Sometimes they talk too much, and you tune out. Why say less with a lot of words?

You can say a lot with a few.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is freedom in wildness, and very little of it in civilization. That is part of the reason you are so connected to nature right now. You need to let that soft animal inside you free.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can do remarkable work before the rest of your workforce has caught their groove. Why? Because you are immune to the stresses that affect others.
