Newton couple arrested in child sex abuse case

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Newton couple is facing charges for the repeated sexual abuse of a child, according to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

Berlou J. Barnard, 46, is charged with second-degree sexual abuse, possession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and providing false information

as a sex offender. Michelle Wortman, 38, is charged with

child endangerment for allegedly knowing of the sexual abuse and not reporting it.

The mother of the victim reported to the sheriff ’s offices that her daughter had been sexually abused by Barnard, who is a registered sex offender. The child had visits with Barnard under the stipulation that Wortman, his livein girlfriend, was present for supervision.

The victim reported four

incidents in which she was sexually abused by Barnard.

According to court documents, Wortman walked in on at least two of those incidents but did not tell the child’s parents about it. The victim described several items involved in the sexual abuse, which were found during a search of the property.

Also found during the search was a small bag of marijuana and two pipes. It was

also discovered that Barnard had Facebook and Twitter accounts he didn’t report to authorities, as required by law for registered sex offenders.

Wortman was released from the Jasper County Jail on a $2,000 bond. Barnard is being held on a $51,300 bond at the jail.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott looks over voter-registration data and election results. Parrott helped explain the vast disparities in voter turnout between smaller elections, such as school bonds and city council, and some of the reasons behind the gaps.

County auditor Dennis Parrott helps explore what keeps the polls at bay

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News As of Oct. 9, there were 23,395 registered voters who live within one of the four Jasper County school districts. Only 1,595 voted in the Sept. 1 school-board elections, or 6.8 percent.

In 2012, almost 73 percent of county voters turned out for the presidential election.

These are extreme examples.

Presidential races often draw the biggest voter turnouts, and school board and municipal elections are sometimes uncontested.

However, there are a multitude

of factors that affect how many voters either vote absentee or show up at the polls.

With city elections around the county happening within the month ahead, Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott took the time to walk the Newton Daily News through various groups of voter-registration data and election results, pointing out patterns and tendencies.

Parrott helped explain the vast disparities in voter turnout between smaller elections, such as school bonds and city council, and some of the reasons behind the gaps. He said he and the rest

of the auditor’s staff, by being so close to the statistics, have frontrow seats for how voter turnout affects election outcomes.

“High-profile elections capture people’s attention,” Parrot said. “We want people to vote whenever they can, and participate in the process.”

Iowa’s Bakken pipeline protestors shift energy to Army Corp regulators Newton Daily News Members of an Iowa-based activist group fighting the development of the Bakken crude oil pipeline are shifting their focus from lobbying the Iowa Utilities Board to the Rock Island District Army Corps of Engineers.

Nearly 600 members of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement sent letters to the Army Corp last week asking regulators not to permit the pipeline to cross major U.S. waterways. The Army Corp is in charge of granting contract permits under federal clean water

laws.

Iowa CCI, which also delivered 1,000 letters against the pipeline’s development to the IUB’s headquarters prior to an anti-Bakken pipeline rally last, argues that the nationwide permitting process is “insufficient” when it coming to protecting Iowa waterways.

“If IUB won’t stand up for Iowans, it’s time for Rock Island Army Corps of Engineers to do their job and protect our waterways from this risky proposal,” said Nathan Malachowski, community organizer with Iowa CCI. PIPELINE | 3A

Candidate Q&A: Hansen for Newton mayor Newton Daily News This week, the Newton Daily News will feature candidate Q &As for the upcoming Nov. 3 city election in Newton.

Newton will be facing during your term on city council?

What suggestions do you have to deal with that issue?

There are Hansen a number of important issues facing Newton in the next two to four years. We must continue to grow our residential, commercial and industrial tax base. We must continue to attract business start-up ventures and support existing businesses/employers with their expansion plans,

which will bring additional employment opportunities.

We must continue to work with our economic development team, community partners, business leaders and volunteers, as well as our county and state legislators to achieve our community development goals.

Crisis Intervention Services ready to assist victims in need

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Crisis Intervention Services has been in Newton since 2013 and is celebrating with a ribbon cutting on Oct. 28 at its 312 First Ave. W. location. CIS currently shares an office with the United Way of Jasper County and Advocate Evy Tews said that partnership is beneficial for both organizations.

“United Way is awesome because we have a really strong partnership with them in multiple counties. In Jasper County, we obviously share office space, and United Way provides us with the office space pretty much free of cost,” Tews said.

Crisis Intervention Services provides support and empowerment to victims/survivors of domestic and dating violence and/ or sexual assault in 12 counties in Iowa, including Jasper. Its goal is to provide prevention and life skills education, intervention, shelter and outreach services to empower people, families and the community to end all forms of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

“We provide sexual assault and domestic violence services to victims and we also do housing.

Our main office is based in Oskaloosa and we have a shelter there for women and children. That is mostly for fleeing victims, if they are fleeing a domestic violence situation,” Tews said.

A completely free and confidential service, the advocate will be there for the victim from start to finish if requested and beyond to provide weekly support for those who have gone through a trauma.

“As an advocate, we can actually provide a lot of services to victims. That can look different depending on who we are working we. We receive referrals from law enforcement, hospitals ... either the police or the hospital know to call us and we will send an advocate right away to work with that client,” Tews said. “After that it is up to the victim, what services they want to receive. As advocates, we can go with them through the whole process if they decide to press charges against their perpetrator, then we can go through the whole court system with them.”

Tews said that she still works with clients she first received when starting with CIS, checking in them with weekly to make sure they are doing OK. Others may have support during the initial call at the hospital and decide they are okay without further services.

“We do follow up and that is really an important thing to do because you never really know how your body is going to react to trauma. You might think that you are going to be fine, then a couple of weeks later you can’t sleep and you don’t know why. It can be re-

ally helpful to talk to an advocate who has received a lot of training and we’re very knowledgeable,” Tews said.

Services provided by CIS include counseling and support groups, criminal/legal advocacy, economic and medical advocacy, housing services and community education and training. The nonprofit is funded through the government, grants, organization donations and donations from community members.

“We also do a lot of outreach.

We try to get out in the communities, we serve 12 counties, I try to get out there and go to farmers’ markets and other events going on in the counties and let people know what our service are about,” Tews said. “Unfortunately sexual assault is a big problem in our society today. I think that the more people know about our services, the more that they know we are confidential, they can talk to us and nothing that they say will be repeated to anyone. Getting out that information is helpful because people will feel more comfortable to share their stories and come out as survivors.”

IWD announces disabled Iowans employment grant DES MOINES — Iowa Workforce Development and the U.S. Department of Labor recently announced that Iowa is one of six states receiving grants that total $14,911,243 to improve employment opportunities for adults and youth with disabilities. The grants are being awarded as part of the Disability Employment Initiative, a joint initiative of the department’s Employment and Training Administration and the Office of Disability Employment Policy. Iowa will receive nearly $2.5 million of the DEI funds.

“People with disabilities are the single largest pool of untapped, work-ready individuals in the state,” said Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend. She also added, “This grant will increase employment opportunities and provide training programs that help level the playing field for people with disabilities, so they can compete for high-demand jobs and help close the skills gap.”

According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics from 2013, Iowa is one of 10 states leading the nation in creating more job opportunities for the one-in-five Americans who have a disability.

Iowa Workforce Development will use the funds to improve employment outcomes and increase the number of individuals with disabilities who earn credentials; provide more and diversified job-driven training opportunities; and incorporate flexible approaches to designing and providing training and supportive services, including customized employment strategies to help jobseekers with significant disabilities.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks moved mostly lower in early trading Monday as investors sized up the latest batch of company earnings and new data indicating China’s economy grew at the slowest pace in six years. Energy stocks were among the biggest decliners as the price of oil and other commodities fell.

• The Dow Jones industrial average fell 36 points, or 0.2 percent, to 17,179 as of 10:03 a.m. Eastern time.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index slid four points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,029. The Nasdaq added five points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,892. The market is coming off its third straight week of gains.

• Lower commodity prices helped pull down shares in oil companies and materials makers. Chevron shed $1.48, or 1.6 percent, to $89.81, the Dow’s biggest decliner. Freeport-McMoRan gave up 27 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $12.17.

• Morgan Stanley slumped 6 percent after reporting a sharp drop in quarterly earnings as the bank’s bond trading business weakened. The stock fell $1.99, or 5.9 percent, to $31.96.

• Shares in Deutsche Bank AG rose 2.6 percent a day after Germany’s biggest bank said it is restructuring its divisions and making changes to its management structure in an effort to streamline its business.

The stock gained 66 cents to $26.63.

• Weight Watchers surged 77 percent on news that Oprah Winfrey is paying about $43.2 million for a 10 percent stake in Weight Watchers and is joining the weight management company’s board. Winfrey also agreed to endorse the company’s programs and services, and to help promote the company. Weight Watchers’ shares climbed $5.26 to $12.05.

• U.S. government bond prices fell slightly. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.04 percent. The dollar edged up to 119.46 yen and the euro fell to $1.1317.

Following the containment and extinguishing of the fire, isolation of the power supply to Panda Garden was being identified to return power to the areas not affected.

The Dakota Access project would cross nearly all of the state’s major watersheds and its route goes underneath major Iowa rivers including the Missouri and Mississippi.

The IUB has scheduled a final public hearing Nov. 12-16 to decide if state regulators will allow Dakota Access the ability to use eminent domain to excavate on properties where landowners have not granted the company voluntary easements.

The evidently hearing begin at 9 a.m. Nov. 12 at the Boone County

Fairgrounds Community Building. The first day will be reserved for public comments and preliminary matters.

“To best protect Iowans, Army Corps should assess the full impact of the pipeline from start to finish under their Individual permitting process,” Iowa CCI member Pat Bowen. “Iowans deserve the toughest protections from this disaster in the making, which ultimately means that both Army Corps and the Iowa Utilities Board should say no to the proposed Bakken Pipeline.”

With this model, no general fund taxpayer dollars are used for investment from the city.

We should continue using this model to achieve our community development goals as outlined in the comprehensive plan — “Newton’s Future.”

The campaign serves as both an invitation and a promise that you’ll like what you “get to know.”

We must continue to tell the story of Newton’s resurgence through expanded social media and other means of outreach.

In so doing, we will continue to build a community where people will want to live, raise a family and become involved as community leaders/ volunteers.

NDN: Poor street conditions are often mentioned by Newton residents. How do you think the city should address the problem and is there any public input that could be useful?

Prominence of issues and candidates The Newton Daily News and other community media do its best to bring out news about all elections, big and small. However, when voters not only read about an election in a newspaper, but also see the same topics or faces on TV and online, it makes it easier to remember to vote.

“Voters see and hear national issues on a daily basis,” Parrott said.

Some years tend to have more hotly contested races than others. In describing dips in turnout, Parrott pointed out that uncontested races or highly popular candidates seeking re-election will cause turnout to wane.

Parrott also pointed out how much more resource is poured into some election issues and candidates — even on the local level.

“Money, amount of organization, party involvement, interest group involvement — it all matters,” Parrott said.

Issue awareness and voter turnout don’t always lead to measures being passed, however. Out of the 3,130 voters who participated in the April 7 Grinnell-Newburg Schools elecMajor reconstruction, resurfacing and repair of our streets began last year and is scheduled to continue throughout our community every year.

City staff has identified a number of streets that are in need of reconstruction, resurfacing or repair and during the past budget process, city

“How does this affect me?”

Personal involvement seems to make an impact, Parrott said.

“The more a voter is emotionally attached to an issue, the more likely it is that the person is going to vote,” he said.

Parrott also said larger cities an towns tend to get voter turnouts in smaller municipal, county or school board elections. Valeria is one of the smallest areas of the county by population, but its city-council turnout hasn’t dipped below 25 percent over the past four elections, while Newton was as low as 3.04 percent in 2013.

Only 1.47 percent of the registered Newton Schools voters participated in the September 2009 election. However, two years later, after the NCSD board had narrowly decided to close Emerson Hough as an elementary school, 4.93 percent went to the next board election.

Civic, economic and crime issues sometimes draw voters to the polls.

Water meters and other infrastructure issues were prevalent in the 2011 Colfax mayoral race, and eight percent more voters participated than had done so in 2009.

Absentee voting High absentee turnout doesn’t automatically favor a candidate or a side of an issue. In the Grinnell-Newburg school bond vote, 361 of the 685 absentee voters also voted against the measure.

However, it usually does mean there are people hitting the bricks, encouraging people to vote in that election.

“A high absentee turnout is usually an indication of a specific, organized effort to get people to vote,” Parrott said.

Absentee voting for the Nov. 3 city elections can be done personally in Room 201 of the Jasper County Courthouse in Newton. An absentee ballot can be obtained by mail by calling 641-792-7016 by Oct. 30.

Selfies, duck faces and teens, oh my

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Oct. 19, 2015

There are certain battles, as a parent, which can be won with compromise. You may be excused from the dinner table if you finish your peas; pick up your room and you won’t lose your TV privileges; smile for the camera now and I won’t extend the photo shoot.

Then, there are straight up bribes. We’ve all been there — the meltdown in the grocery store, during an extended car ride or perhaps during a graduation or wedding ceremony.

Recently, we bribed the teenage girl and it was ultimately a great success.

Last weekend she was preparing to head off to our nation’s capitol for a school trip.

She energetically discussed the travel plans and details. We were all terribly excited for her.

I didn’t get to experience the Washington, D.C. tour until my college years and my hus-

band has never been.

With her iPhone in her hand, we told her we wanted her to have some spending money. However, she could have a bit more spending money if she promised to keep in touch with us and send us Snapchats and texts.

She actually hesitated, but not for long. Where we failed was in identifying the types of photos and updates we were interested in.

Selfies, duck faces and teens, oh my.

Selfishly, I was looking forward to vicariously reliving my own trip to D.C. And since we knew she constantly Snapchats I thought it would be a great medium to experience it second-hand.

The first photos came from the bus on the way to the airport, and then from the airport itself and then the airplane.

They were cute. You could tell they are a tight-knit class that was looking forward to this journey.

It didn’t stop there. The duck faces, peace signs, backward hats and pig snout poses continued well into the trip. I finally asked for some photos of what they were doing, aside from goofing off.

I received a photo of the White House.

I suggested she take a selfie.

She replied that she “didn’t feel like it,” marking the first time she has ever in her teenage life not felt like taking a selfie. It didn’t matter. It was the middle of an average workday and we were communicating. I repeat — communicating with a teenager!

On her final day in our nation’s capitol I noticed I had accidentally called her while I was in line at a store juggling

some items. While she had answered I couldn’t get the phone up to my ear. We ended up visiting via text. I told a lame Halloween joke. She sent a “haha.”

She let me know she was at the National Cathedral, one of my favorite stops during my trip to D.C. I told her to enjoy the beauty and her final day.

Later, she would let me know she was excited about a couple of things she picked up for her little brother. A few more snaps from the travels home and she was back. I was grateful to share in part of her experience with modern technology. I was also happy to be reminded of how silly and carefree teenagers can be. Mostly, I was proud of what a great young lady we have as an example for the two younger children.

pat. Show up when asked to testify by a Congressional Committee and endure the hot seat for a couple hours and/or hold a public event during Sunshine Week, making sure to say all the right things about transparency and throwing out a few numbers to “prove” that your FOIA backlogs have decreased. Release a few “high value” datasets (which aren’t really all that high in value at all) to show you are being “proactive.” Make it through the week and then most everyone is off your back until the next Sunshine Week.

Quite often it works. Don’t believe me? Look at what the White House did this year. On March 13, 2015, two days before Sunshine Week started, it announced that the White House Office of Administration would no longer be subject to FOIA. Granted, this was not a violation of law, as a federal court had ruled six years before that this office is not subject to FOIA. But the simple fact is that both the timing and the action itself smacked of contempt for open government and should serve as a reminder that no government will ever authentically embrace truly open government, except perhaps within the confines of the one week in which they know all eyes are on this issue.

It’s time to really take what we’ve learned during Sunshine Week and use it the rest of the year. We still have time to accomplish that before next March.

Support for the idea that it’s good to hear all opinions, even offensive ones, is thin. A plurality of Americans n o w support l a w s against “ h a t e By John Stossel speech.”

Conservatives once wanted to ban Playboy magazine, violent rap lyrics and offensive depictions of Jesus. Leftists then were right to fight such bans, but today leftists encourage censorship in the name of “tolerance.”

Scientist Matt Taylor helped land a probe on a comet for the first time in history. But because he explained his achievement while wearing a T-shirt that had cartoons of sexy women on it (designed by a female friend of his), writer Rose Eveleth of The Atlantic tweeted that Taylor “ruined” the comet landing. The public outcry against him was so great that he cried at an apologetic press conference.

Silicon Valley entrepreneur Brendan Eich created JavaScript and helped start Mozilla Firefox. But when activists discovered that he’d once donated $1,000 to support California’s Proposition 8 banning gay marriage, they attacked him as “a hater.”

A year and a half later, Eich still can’t find a job.

When Eich donated the money, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton opposed gay marriage, too.

But in just five years, such opinions have become so “unacceptable” that a tech genius is ostracized by his own industry.

As long as the leftist mobs don’t use law or violence, they’re still engaged in free speech. Private employers can impose most any speech rule they choose. The First Amendment applies only to government. But now some government officials are as eager to censor as the leftist mobs.

After the owners of Chick-fil-A said they oppose gay marriage,

the mayors of Chicago, San Francisco and Boston said Chick-fil-A is “not welcome” in their cities. San Francisco’s mayor said, “The closest Chick-fil-A is 40 miles away and I strongly recommend they not try to come any closer.”

Since mayors may influence permits and zoning, their threats aren’t idle. And no new Chick-fil-A outlets have opened in those cities.

This is a clear violation of the First Amendment, although the politicians seem oblivious to that.

Of course, much worse than today’s left are those who censor through violence. Al Qaeda’s magazine names people who should be killed, chirping, “A bullet a day keeps the infidel away.”

Writers and artists heed the threats. CNN, NBC and the New York Times will no longer show Mohammed cartoons.

I was surprised that liberal commentators were so eager to cave in to the terrorists’ threats.

Chris Matthews said, “Wanting to pick a fight with Islam is insane.”

Such cowardice just invites more censorship.

When the TV series “South Park” was censored by its own network for depicting Mohammed, a fan of the show, liberal cartoonist Molly Norris, showed her support by drawing her own cartoons of Mohammed. For doing so, she received death threats.

Fearing for her safety, she went into hiding.

Columnist Mark Steyn was appalled that “Her liberal newspaper — the way they put it in announcing that she’d gone, ceased to exist , was: ‘There is no more Molly.’” She hasn’t been heard from in five years.

“The only way we’re going to move to a real sense of freedom is if every time somebody puts a bullet in a cartoonist for drawing a cartoon of Mohammed,” says Steyn, “every newspaper ... displays that picture.”

Education is the first step to leaving a life of crime

DEAR ABBY: I am 21 and come from a family of crime involving drugs and violence. I was taken by the state as a child in need of care at 14. I’ve been in and out of juvie and did 18 months in juvenile prison.

I’m now sitting in adult county jail.

I’m going to get one more chance, according to the judge.

Where can I get help if I want to live a rightful life and fix mine?

With very little income, I only know how to make money illegally, which is more than many people make in two or three years. I want to do right this time. What’s your advice? — STUCK IN CRIME IN KANSAS DEAR STUCK: My advice is to finish your education. At the very minimum, get your GED. Fight the temptation to go for “easy money” and find a mentor who can steer you toward constructive activities and opportunities. A place to look would be one of the prison ministries.

You are still young and have your whole life ahead of you. It will be far smoother and more successful if you don’t add to your criminal record.

DEAR ABBY: My 10-yearold daughter and I enjoy hosting sleepovers for her friends from school. Over the last few years, her circle of friends has increased, as have the dietary needs of said friends. It went from simple meals like macaroni and cheese, pizza or hamburgers to parents requesting gluten-free cookies, soy milk, almond milk, and other demands that drive me crazy.

I’m willing to accommodate to a point, providing vegetarian options and no nuts, but for parents to demand that I spend (what seems like) hundreds of dollars on food

my family and I never eat is insane.

The last time this happened, I asked the parent — nicely — to provide a small container that I could store in my fridge for the girl to use for her soy milk. The woman became irate, called me thoughtless and wouldn’t let her daughter come!

I don’t know what I did wrong, but apparently I made some faux pas because the same thing happened with a different girl who wanted gluten-free everything.

Abby, what should I do or say in these situations? I usually provide snacks and such that fit most diets, but a lot of times the main course contains gluten, dairy, etc., and I don’t want to go broke buying select types of food for one kid. — SALLY IN WASHINGTON, D.C. DEAR SALLY: You did nothing wrong. Asking the mother to have her daughter bring a quart of soy milk with her was not rude, and the same is true for the mother of the girl who has an intolerance for gluten. The parents of children with food allergies should be used to the routine of providing allowable foods for them to bring when they will be eating away from home, and for you to have received the reaction you did was over the top.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Authorities say a 10-year-old girl has been hospitalized after being struck by a train in western Iowa. The Council Bluffs Police Department says the girl was found conscious and alert between two sets of tracks after she was hit around 12:30 p.m. Sunday. She was taken to an Omaha, Nebraska, hospital. The department hasn’t released her name. Investigators say it appears the girl tried to cross a set of tracks after a train passed but was struck by another train that had been going the same direction.

Man stole taxi because he didn’t want to walk DES MOINES — A man accused of stealing a taxi after he was discharged from a Des Moines hospital says he didn’t want to walk home. Des Moines police say 26-year-old Luis Orellana-Rivera drove off with the vehicle shortly after he was released from Mercy Medical Center around 6 a.m. on Friday. The unoccupied taxi had the key in the ignition at the time.

Orellana-Rivera was spotted about a half hour later. Police say he had the key to the taxi in his pocket at the time of his arrest.

It is with disappointment that we announce that Amber Frantum, PA, who currently serves Colfax Medical Associates LLC will be leaving that practice as of 10/16/15. Due to multiple factors it became necessary for her to leave us but she does express her appreciation for the support and help she has received from the community.

Colfax Medical Associates will remain open without interruption with the hiring of Erin Friest, NP who will officially begin providing services at Colfax on 10/ 19/15. Ms. Friest is currently a professor at DMACC School of Nursing. She obtained her Master’s Degree in nursing with a concentration in Family Practice from Clarkson College based in Omaha, Nebraska. She is certified by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.

Ms. Friest was born and raised 20 miles northeast of Story City in Garden City, Iowa so she is very familiar with small town Iowa. She states: “My mother, Sue Friest, works in insurance and my brother, Justin Friest, resides in Bondurant and works as an accountant. I have a niece and nephew, ages 8 and 4, who are both very active in sports and church activities keeping us all on our toes! I am excited to be serving the rural community and am looking forward to the opportunities Colfax has to offer. I hope to be a positive addition to the community’s efforts in health promotion and disease prevention.”

Again our commitment to continued quality medical services at Colfax Medical Associates continues and we appreciate your support.

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — A central Iowa-based autism center has expanded its services in the northeast part of the state, a move one mother says has helped her better communicate with her threeyear-old son.

The Homestead is celebrating its grand opening in Cedar Falls on Wednesday, though the facility has been open for several weeks. The company offers services to children and adults with autism, and it maintains offices in several parts of the state.

Brienna Decker’s son, Garrett, was diagnosed with autism as a toddler.

“There are 20 people around every corner with their own recommendations, and not everything is necessarily clinically based,” the Cedar Falls mom said of her process for selecting care for her son.

Decker heard of The Homestead but realized the closest facility was an hour away. That’s now changed with the expansion into Cedar Falls. Garrett recently began receiving one-on-one treatment through the Cedar Falls center.

Decker said the treatment so far has had a major impact on Garett.

“At almost 4 years old, for the first time Garrett has a functional form of communication,” she said.

No injuries in Baxter barn fire, cause under investigation

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News

Alex Olp/Daily News A Baxter firefighter works to extinguish a barn fire Friday afternoon in Baxter.

BAXTER — Baxter Fire Department was the first responder to a barn fire east of Baxter Friday afternoon, which left no one injured.

The 911 call came in at about 1:45 p.m. The barn, which stored hay, burned to the ground after several fire departments extinguished the blaze.

Baxter Fire Chief Dan Ritter said on scene he believes the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion of wet hay barrels, but it is still under investigation.

Colfax, Mingo, Melbourne, Rhodes and Haverhill Fire Departments also responded to the fire.

DUBUQUE — With nearly 70 years combined experience in the music business, Rondinelli Music/Audio and Uncle Ike’s Music & Sound are surviving — even thriving — in a retail world now largely driven by Internet sales.

Rondinelli’s, 3414 Pennsylvania Ave., and Uncle Ike’s, 4989 Radford Court, are two of the area’s remaining independently owned music stores. The owners of both stores say they’re comfortable with each other’s businesses, and both said they’ve had to adjust to the reality of Internet sales.

Kevin Hedley, owner of Uncle Ike’s, said online resources helped the business weather the economic downturn.

“We’re fortunate.

Even as the recession hit we were still in growing stages. We got involved in the Internet sales early on and that certainly helped,” Hedley said.

“That was certainly a nice turning point for us when we figured out our online sales.”

Hedley’s been in the business for 29 years and, like George Rondinelli, has faced both the opportunities and the difficulties of the Internet. In addition to the Uncle Ike’s website, Hedley uses eBay and formerly used Amazon.

“We don’t deal with Amazon anymore because the commissions were pretty steep,” Hedley said. “You try to watch margins, that makes it very difficult.”

There’s also the challenge of taxes, which both owners said Internet retailers have long tended to skirt.

“Free shipping and no taxes always make it difficult to work with,” Hedley said. “The price points have gotten very aggressive, especially online, and we try to match those price points. It makes you be that much more careful, there’s not much margin for error.”

George Rondinelli was about to discuss the most rewarding parts of owning a music store when a customer walked up to his office.

“Do I owe you something?” the man said, referencing an acoustic equipment repair made

by Rondinelli’s first, but now-retired, employee. Though to Dennis Krueger, “retirement” after 33 years at the business still involves coming in once a week.

“He told me to ask you,” the man said of Krueger.

“That’s like asking your parents about sex,” Rondinelli replied. “Ask your mother, ask your father.”

The guys shared a laugh and, after deciding not to share more jokes due to the reporter in the room, settled on an understanding.

“Don’t worry about it,” Rondinelli said.

“Thanks for even having the class to ask, but no.”

Sometimes, Rondinelli said, to take care of the customer you have to take a hit.

part of that was because we really try to be nice to people and kind to them,” Rondinelli said.

“That doesn’t mean I’m perfect, OK? Anyone who tells you they have a perfect business is probably smoking lots of dope.”

A frustration, Rondinelli said, is the presumption on the part of potential customers that a brick-and-mortar store cannot compete with Internet prices.

“What (has changed) over time is that people a lot of times know what the stuff is going to cost them before they come in. There are some people who don’t even check in with the local stores who buy it off the Internet,” Rondinelli said.

“On most everything we end up matching the Internet price. Actually,

Both Hedley and Rondinelli would say they offer something the digital stores cannot: A personal touch.

In fact, Rondinelli says it’s part of the reason he’s in business. His parents, including 91-yearold mother Rosemary Rondinelli, instilled in him a sense of fairness, he said.

“What it boils down to, a lot of success in a business is you have to be willing to try to provide an honest, decent service,” he said. “That doesn’t mean you’re not going to fall down or make mistakes, but that your intent is to try and treat people well.”

District’s ag programs complement rural Iowa LAWTON (AP) — Rachel Leavitt was puzzled about something when she took over as principal at Lawton-Bronson High School, an institution nestled in a rural Iowa community.

“My first year, I was getting the lay of the land and was surprised living in a rural community and close to ag businesses that we didn’t have an ag program,” said Leavitt, who assumed the position in 2010.

With the help of grant funds, including a $10,000 award sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the Lawton-Bronson school district was able to introduce a Curriculum for Agriculture Science and Engineering, or CASE, program, establish an FFA chapter and create an ag classroom and laboratory.

This year, eighth-graders have access to a general agriculture exploratory class. High school students in the program will take animal science, agronomy and Introduction to Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resource, or AFNR, classes.

Instructor Randi Koehler said through the program, students will gain a hands-on understanding of agriculture that extends beyond food production.

The school was able to incorporate models that demonstrate different types of erosion and projects that analyze parts of a flower.

Win eludes relentless Cardinals against BlueJays

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BONDURANT — It was no-holds-barred football for Newton High’s Cardinals Friday night.

They put it all on the line against Bondurant-Farrar’s BlueJays. No reason not to as the Cardinals went into the Class 3A District 6 contest winless.

Newton piled up 376 yards on the ground behind the running of seniors Joseph Banfield and Dalton Nevels and junior Reese Rosenquist.

Sophomore quarterback Garrett Sturtz rushed for 31 yards and completed 5-of-10 passes for 60 yards.

The Cardinals didn’t commit a penalty in the game.

They didn’t punt the football.

Two Newton turnovers led to Bondurant-Farrar touchdowns and the Cardinals failed to convert on three fourth down situations in the game.

“I felt like we were in great shape there halfway through the first half. We just couldn’t figure out how to get some stops on defense,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said after a 52-28 loss in Bondurant. “And the injury bug continues to bite us.”

Newton was in great shape.

After the BlueJays jumped out to a 14-0 lead, the Cardinals mounted a nine-play, 58-yard drive to the end zone. Banfield and Sturtz had big runs to advance the football down the field. Sturtz connected with Jake Bennett for 15 yards on a pass play.

Bennett injured his shoulder on the play and did not return to the game. It was the first of several injuries to sideline Newton players on the night.

Banfield capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run at the 4:18 mark of the first

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Right on the hip and shoulder of teammate Duncan Lee (40) and a sealing block by Dalton Nevels (6), Newton High’s Reese Rosenquist gets to the corner against Bondurant-Farrar in Friday’s Class 3A District 6 game at Bondurant. Rosenquist rushed for 90 yards and one touchdown in Newton’s 52-28 loss.

quarter. Josh Gulling kicked the extra point to make it 147.

Bondurant-Farrar had struck quickly after Newton failed to convert a fourth down on the first possession of the game. Dylan Story found Payton Duit on a 49-yard touch-

down pass. A Cardinal fumble set up the BlueJays’ second touchdown — 22-yard run

by Jarrid Clark on the option pitch from Story.

The BlueJays used the running of Cole Schlenker on their third possession, leading 14-7. The Cardinal defense

stopped the Jays’ momentum with a tackle of Clark for a loss on third down to end the first quarter.

Bondurant-Farrar’s Keller Paulsen kicked a 36-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter.

Newton set up shop on its

own 34-yard line following the kickoff. Sturtz kept the football and gained 11 yards to start the drive. The Cardinals picked up three straight first downs on runs from Banfield and Sturtz.

Raiders can’t avoid adversity in loss to Comets

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALLEMAN — As many breaks and good fortunes that came with Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s 9-0 regular season last year, the Raider football team is almost on the complete opposite end of the spectrum in 2015.

CMB has battled through suspensions and several injuries, and another potential season-ending injury got the Raiders off on the wrong foot Friday night. It proved costly during a 24-7 loss to North Polk in Class 2A District 7 play.

Coach Rob Luther’s plan was to give leading rusher Blake Coughenour a heavy dose of action against the Comets’ stingy defense, but a knee injury just three plays into the game ended the junior’s night and may have ended his season.

Coughenour gained 18 yards on his first carry and then rumbled for 23 yards on his second attempt. Unfortunately, Coughenour injured his knee on a cut back and did not return.

“I was right there, and he cut on the turf and wasn’t being hit,” Luther said. “It didn’t look good. I have seen enough of them that I just know it didn’t look good.”

Luther said Sunday that Coughenour was getting an MRI on Monday. Hunter McWhirter and Toren Shultheis also left Friday’s game with concussions in the first half. It was McWhirter’s second concussion in three weeks, which means he will

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Charles Robertson (75), who is tackling North Polk’s Mason Russell (32) in the backfield, had a team-high eight tackles and two solo tackles for loss in the Raiders’ 24-7 loss to North Polk in Alleman on Friday. CMB is now 5-3 overall and 2-3 in Class 2A District 7 play.

have to go through the fiveday protocol and could be sidelined Friday when the Raiders travel to Centerville for the regular season finale.

“I feel bad for this football team in that as great as the gods shined on us last year in

a 9-0 season, catching every break possible, we have paid it right back this year,” Luther said. “We just can’t catch a break.”

Aside from the injuries, CMB also turned the ball over five times against the Comets.

North Polk’s Max Karpinske had three interceptions and returned two for scores.

It was Karpinske’s first pick six that shifted the momentum to the home team for good.

CMB went 55 yards in four

plays on its opening drive and an 11-yard touchdown run by Nate Bishop gave the Raiders’ a 7-0 lead rather quickly.

The Raiders forced North Polk to turn it over on downs on the Comets’ first possession and then put together a long drive that could have given them a big advantage.

On the 17th play of the drive, Karpinske picked off a Brady Stover wide receiver pass at the 5-yard line and sprinted 95 yards down the home sideline to tie the game.

“The play was wide open, but it got tipped,” Luther said.

“I thought that play changed the game. We just never recovered from it.”

CMB punted on its next two possessions, and Grant Rampton picked off Bishop on the final play of the first half to keep the game even at the break.

Hunter Gunderson intercepted Karpinske on the Comets’ first drive of the second half, but the Raiders gave it right back on a fumble.

That gave North Polk a short field and a 30-yard pass play from Karpinske to Rampton set up the Comets for a 27-yard field goal by Carter Hartwig.

The Comets converted the kick with 3:33 to play in the third and never trailed again.

Karpinske hit Matt Cox for a 45-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the Comets’ next possession, and Karpinske returned his second interception 60 yards for another score that made it 24-7 early in the fourth quarter.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Brady Stover had seven catches for 61 yards during the Raiders’ 24-7 loss to North Polk in Alleman on Friday. CMB needs to win Friday at Centerville to qualify for the Class 2A playoffs as the fourth seed out of District 7.

Raiders

Continued from Page 1B The Raiders turned it over twice on downs in the final period.

Karpinske ended CMB’s only other drive with his third interception.

“You won’t beat anybody turning it over five times,” Luther said. “We hung in there, but we needed to make some plays early in the second half and just didn’t do that.”

The Comets improved to 5-3 overall and 4-1 in district play.

North Polk can claim a first-round home playoff game and the district’s No. 2 seed if it can win at PCM on Friday.

CMB dropped to 5-3 overall and 2-3 in league play.

The Raiders need to win at Centerville to earn a playoff spot as the district’s No. 4 seed.

“We still have some football left,” Luther said. “We have to go down to Centerville and make sure we get that win so we can get into the playoffs and then come up with a plan from there.”

The Raiders finished with 313 total yards and out-gained North Polk offensively, but the turnovers proved to be too costly.

Bishop was 24-of-36 for 187 yards and three interceptions. He did rush 11 times for 32 yards and scored CMB’s only touchdown.

Stover had seven catches for 61 yards, Gunderson had four catches for 58 yards and Brady Kemp hauled in eight catches for 55 yards in the loss.

Coughenour returned to action after missing three straight games.

He gained 41 yards on his only two carries of the game.

“We still had enough players to win, but it changed our mentality when (Coughenour) went

down,” Luther said. “Our plan was to give (North Polk) a huge dose of (Coughenour).

Two bright spots for CMB’s adversity-filled month have been Gunderson and Charles Robertson.

The two seniors led the defense against North Polk and both will be key components to Friday’s road game against Centerville. Luther said Robertson will likely get more carries at running back.

Robertson had a team-high eight tackles against the Comets, and Gunderson finished with 5.5 tackles and an interception. Tucker Maxwell had six tackles in his return to the lineup.

“I am more proud of that kid than I have ever been of almost anyone else in my 25 years of coaching,” Luther said of Gunderson. “His effort, his heart, you just have to love a kid like Hunter Gunderson. He’s making plays all over the place. “(Robertson) had a great night on defense, and we’ll probably get him in the backfield again next week and see if we can run him downfield a little bit.”

The other three playoff spots out of 2A District 7 have been decided.

Albia clinched the top seed with its win over Prairie City-Monroe on Friday. PCM and North Polk will play for the No. 2 seed in Monroe this week.

COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s football team trailed 14-0 at halftime, lost alls t a t e senior quarterback Jared Myers to an injury in the third q uar Lourens ter and were defeated for the first time since the season opener during a 35-0 loss to Class A No. 2 BGM on Friday.

The Bears (8-0, 6-0) locked up the No. 1 seed out of District 7 after the win.

Colfax-Mingo (6-2, 5-1) can do no worse than the No. 2 seed and ends the season next week with a trip to GMG. Colfax-Mingo came into the game averaging 41 points during its six-game win streak, but BGM’s had four interceptions and recorded a shutout for the fourth time in its last five district games.

BGM’s offense rushed for 332 yards.

Colton Massengale

gained 180 yards and a touchdown on 34 carries and Dalton Jack rushed for 80 yards and two scores.

Jayce Knight had four catches for 114 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown catch from Tanner Jansen.

Myers finished 6-of18 through the air for 80 yards and three interceptions before leaving with an injury in the third quarter.

Colin Lourens had 77 yards on three catches for the Tigerhawks, who rushed for negative-11 yards.

Jacob Lietz and Jacob Buehrer led the Colfax-Mingo defense with 11 and nine tackles, respectively.

Alan Wheeler and sophomore Jarod Nichols each had 5.5 tackles.

The Tigerhawks can finish the regular season 7-2 with a road win over Green Mountain-Garwin (1-7) Friday.

That overall mark would be the best for Colfax-Mingo since the Tigerhawks went 9-1 in 2003, and the second most wins since the 1985 Colfax-Mingo merger.

PCM ( 6 - 2 , 4-1) had its sixg a m e w i n streak snapped.

Greiner T h e M u s tangs will have to beat North Polk at home in the regular-season finale this Friday to earn the No. 2 seed and a firstround bye in the playoffs.

Albia led 28-0 at halftime.

The Mustangs’ only points of the game came on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Logan Gilman to Luke Greiner in the fourth quarter.

Gilman was 17-of-32

for 169 yards and one interception.

Greiner caught 10 passes for 112 yards and Noah Clark had three catches for 34 yards.

Davis Herndon led the PCM defense with five solo tackles and nine assisted tackles, while Reid Jenkins had five solos and five assists.

The 73-yard touchdown pass was the only completion on the night for Blake Bayer.

The Albia defense had four sacks and held the Mustangs’ to negative-6 yards rushing.

Lynnville-Sully defeats North Mahaska in district play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NEW SHARON — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks took care of business on the road Friday, beating North Mahaska, 396, in Class A District 7 football action. They will focus on doing the same at home against Belle Plaine in the regular-season finale.

“We had to win and we wanted to win by 13 points to help with the point differential in district play. We accomplished that,” Hawk

h e a d coach M i k e Pa r k i n son said.

“We have to come back next week and play a complete Van Zante g a m e without the turnovers and penalties we had against North Mahaska.

Belle Plaine is a good team.”

Lynnville-Sully hosts Belle Plaine Friday at Sully with a postseason

spot up for grabs.

The Hawks are 4-2 in district play as is Montezuma while Belle Plaine is 3-3. Those three are battling for the final two district playoff spots.

The top four advance with BGM as the No. 1 seed and Colfax-Mingo as the No. 2 seed.

“We played really well defensively. Our defensive line had a great night.

Those guys up front are counted on to eat up blockers so our lineback-

ers can make tackles,” Parkinson said. “Trevor Squires, Jayson Hardin and Kyle Van Dyke do a tremendous job up front for our defense.”

Lynnville-Sully held the Warhawks to 48 yards on the ground and 99 yards through the air. The Hawks’ defense allowed one touchdown, a 33-yard pass from Brandt Fleener to Cole Rozendaal, midway through the fourth quarter. Lynnville-Sully

had built a 36-0 lead by then.

Evan Squires got the scoring going for Lynnville-Sully with a first-quarter touchdown scamper of 21 yards.

Noah Engle kicked the extra point.

Engle hauled in a 9-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Van Zante with 10:21 left in the second quarter to touch

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM Now Available!

Only $19.99 plus tax

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.

These final five days of the Libra sun are an ideal time for taking stock of your relationships of all kinds, especially those breezy daily contacts.

Casual daily connections can impact your life more than blood-level connections with far less frequency. How you receive and give to the people in your daily life defines you to some degree.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 19). You’ll make a commitment and tenaciously pursue it through the end of the year.

There will be a cash-out opportunity in December. Cultivate your burgeoning talent in January; try apprenticeship or

internship. May and July are the most interesting months for your love life. Friends influence you, and you could even move. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 14, 38 and 5.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It takes courage to poke holes in your own theories. Just don’t poke so many that the theory totally sinks before it’s ever had a chance at a test-float.

“Let’s do this. Let’s go there,” they say -- usually an indication that whatever is going on right now has either played its

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Maybe you’ve drifted from knowing what you want and who you are. That’s natural for these transitional times.

The questions you ask will tell you more about that than the answers will.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

What if your life is not defined by what you do, but by what you long to do? Where would that put you now in your own estimation? Your consciousness on this matter will make a difference today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re one of the most authentic and grounded people around, and yet even you wonder sometimes whether you’re faking it. Take comfort in the fact that, to varying extents, everyone is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Exciting challenges will demand a clear and quick mind. That’s why, if you can get out and do some exercise, it will be worth your while -- or, more aptly, absolutely crucial to the success of your day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Nerves are like pepper. A pinch will give your efforts an exciting edge. Too much, and the soup becomes inedible.

Regulating your nerves will be the challenge of the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What would you have to do to impress yourself today?

A goal with just the right amount of elasticity to stretch you to your potential will be a game changer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The one who expresses him or herself freely (risking possible rejection and/or personal embarrassment) will get the ball rolling so everyone feels comfortable enough to chime in.

Hawkeyes remain undefeated EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Finding a way to win while losing starters to injury has become a reality for Iowa this season.

It happened again on Saturday.

Akrum Wadley stepped in for injured running back Jordan Canzeri and ran for 204 yards and tied a school record with four rushing touchdowns to carry the No. 17-ranked Hawkeyes over No. 20 Northwestern 40-10.

With the victory, Iowa (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) grabbed control of the West Division race and does not have a ranked opponent left on its regular-season schedule.

Despite being down five starters before the game, the Hawkeyes continued to roll and are off to their best start since their 2009 Orange Bowl season when they won nine in a row.

“The toughness and the fight of this team has — you can expect that any week,” quarterback C.J. Beathard said. “The way this team fights, I felt like we would come out on top.”

With Canzeri sidelined in the first quarter with an ankle injury, Wadley took over for Iowa. The

injury occurred following a short run when Northwestern linebacker Jaylen Prater landed on Canzeri, folding his ankle under a pile of players.

Afterward, Iowa coach Kirk Wadley Ferentz said it is believed Canzeri suffered a sprain.

The Hawkeyes are off next week.

“Next man in — we’ve got four great backs (and) it’s just big play waiting to happen,” Wadley said. “Any one of us is capable of making big runs, and I just stepped up to the plate.”

Wadley, who had only eight carries coming into the game, scored his third touchdown on a 2-yard run with 6:42 remaining in the third quarter, extending Iowa’s lead to 23-10. His record-tying fourth scoring run, which followed a Northwestern fumble on the Wildcats ensuing drive, came on a 4-yard run.

Northwestern (5-2, 1-2) turned the ball over three times as the Wildcats lost for the sec-

ond straight week after five consecutive victories. After losing 38-0 to Michigan last week, the Wildcats’ defense — which was surrendering a Football Bowl Subdivision-leading seven points a game prior to the loss against the Wolverines — struggled again. They allowed 492 yards.

Northwestern scored 10 points in the second quarter to get within 16-10 at the half. Quarterback Clayton Thorson connected with Christian Jones on a 4-yard touchdown pass before Jack Mitchell hit a 20-yard field goal with 2:40 remaining in the second quarter. Northwestern failed to score the rest of the way.

The Wildcats are attempting to avoid the kind of collapse they experienced in 2013 when Northwestern lost seven straight games after winning its first four.

“We’ll get right back to work — the team has to make a decision. (Are we) the team that won five games and made plays and we’re making plays all over the place,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

“Or (are we) a team the last two weeks quite frankly that is void of making plays.”

No. 3 TCU rolls past Iowa State AMES (AP) — Third-ranked TCU has made it through the toughest stretch of the season with its playoff hopes intact.

Now the Horned Frogs have a week to rest up before their final push for the Big 12 title and beyond.

Trevone Boykin threw for 436 yards and four touchdowns and TCU rolled past Iowa State 4521 Saturday night for its third road win in four weeks.

Josh Doctson had 190 yards receiving and two touchdowns for the Horned Frogs (7-0, 4-0 Big 12), who went on a 31-0 run after the first quarter.

Boykin’s 3-yard touchdown run with 14:36 left put TCU ahead 38-21. Doctson made it a rout with a 42-yard touchdown catch six minutes later.

Sam Richardson had 251 yards passing for Iowa State (24, 1-2).

For a quarter, the Cyclones did what they could to pull off what would have been a huge upset, taking a 21-14 lead in the first.

TCU dashed their dreams with a pair of long drives and

Follow on

a suddenly stout defense.

The Horned Frogs went 86 yards to open the second half, and a 13-yard touchdown run by Kyle Hicks made it 31-21. Nick Orr Lazard forced a fumble on a blind side blitz to kill an Iowa State drive, and Boykin’s touchdown run capped an 85-yard drive that put Iowa State behind by 17.

The Cyclones were threatening to pull back within 10, but Joshua Thomas fell down on a fourth-down screen pass with 11:20 to go.

Freshman Mike Warren had just 78 yards rushing for Iowa State. Warren had averaged 182 yards over his three previous starts.

Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads had preached to his team all week about the importance of a fast start.

The Cyclones got one, with a 74-yard touchdown reception

by Allen Lazard — who finished

with 147 yards on five catches — bookended by short touchdown runs by Thomas and Warren in the first quarter.

TCU started just as quickly though, scoring on touchdown throws from Boykin to Doctson (20 yards), Kolby Listenbee (21 yards) and Charlie Reid (14 yards).

The Horned Frogs took a 2421 halftime lead on a 23-yard field goal.

TCU safety Denzel Johnson was ejected in the second quarter for targeting.

It wasn’t surprising to see the Horned Frogs let the Cyclones hang around after close road wins over Minnesota, Texas Tech and K-State.

But after allowing 262 yards in the first quarter, TCU allowed just 199 the rest of the way.

The Horned Frogs, who’ve battled injuries all year, lost wide receiver KaVontae Turpin with an apparent upper-body injury.

They’ll be able to sit Turpin and everyone else for at least a few days before returning to host reeling West Virginia on Oct. 29.

Cardinal freshmen finish tournament play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Playing in their final tournament of the season, Newton High’s freshmen split two pool matches to reach the consolation bracket of Saturday’s Des Moines Lincoln freshman volleyball tournament.

Newton lost the first set against Des Moines North 21-11 and posted a 21-13 win in the second set. Tegan Simmons had an 11-point serving run for the Cardinals.

“It would have been good from 50 yards,” Parkinson said. “Noah really put a charge in the ball on that kick. Tyler had another good game throwing the football. Offensively, we played alright, but had a couple of turnovers and penalties which put us off track a bit.”

Royals take 2-0 lead in ALCS to Toronto KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals kept waiting for Blue Jays ace David Price to give them some hope.

It turned out to be Toronto’s leaky defense that provided it.

After managing one hit over six innings, Ben Zobrist’s easy fly that somehow fell for a hit began a five-run rally against Price in the seventh inning Saturday. The Royals rolled the rest of the way to a 6-3 victory over Toronto and a 2-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.

“We needed to catch a break,” the Royals’ Alex Gordon said, “and Zobrist’s ball was it.”

Luke Hochevar wiggled out of a jam to keep Kansas City in the game, and Danny Duffy and Kelvin Herrera got the ball to closer Wade Davis, who had to survive a shaky ninth to preserve the win.

Davis gave up a leadoff single and walked pinch-hitter Cliff Pennington, but bounced back to strike out leadoff man Ben Revere and MVP candidate Josh Donaldson. Jose Bautista then flied out to right to give Davis his third postseason save and the Royals another postseason comeback win.

“Our guys never quit,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “They keep going.”

Even though they looked foolish flailing at Price’s pitches — until the lazy fly ball by Zobrist changed everything. They proceeded to string together four singles and a double in their go-ahead inning, getting run-producing hits from Gordon, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas and Alex Rios, along with an RBI groundout from Kendrys Morales.

It was a monumental collapse for Price, who had at one point recorded 18 straight

outs. He fell to 0-7 in seven postseason starts, including a loss to Texas in their AL Division Series.

“I gave up hits at the wrong time,” he said. “I felt good. It’s a very scrappy team.

They put the ball in play. They continued to battle. It’s just a tough loss.”

Meanwhile, the reigning AL champs have won nine straight ALCS games dating to their memorable seven-game series against Toronto in 1985 — the year they won their only World Series. The record is 10 straight wins set by Baltimore in the 1960s and ‘70s.

Now, the Blue Jays head home for Game 3 on Monday night in dire trouble. All but three of the previous 25 teams to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven era have won the series — though Toronto did rally from the same hole to beat the Rangers in five games in the division round.

Logano spins out Kenseth late, wins at Kansas Speedway KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Joey Logano kept peeking around Matt Kenseth as the laps ticked away at Kansas Speedway, the two of them in entirely different situations in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Logano had nothing to lose. Kenseth had just about everything.

So when Logano got under Kenseth entering Turn 1 with about five laps remaining, and sent him spinning across the track, it left many eyebrows raised long after the Penske Racing driver pulled away on the final restart to win his second straight Chase race.

“That’s good, hard racing,” Logano said. “We were racing each other really hard. I felt like I got fenced twice. He raced me hard so I raced him back.”

Logano was already guaranteed his spot in the next round of the Chase after his victory at Charlotte, though.

After a disastrous race a week ago, Kenseth’s team arrived at Kansas knowing a victory this weekend or next weekend at unpredictable Talladega might be the only way he could make it to the final eight in the “eliminator” round of the playoffs.

That’s why Kenseth was doing everything possible to block Logano.

“I’m really disappointed,” Kenseth said.

“I was running the lane he wanted to run in, but my goodness, isn’t this racing?

Strategically, I think it wasn’t the smartest move on his part.

“He’ll probably sleep good tonight. I hope he enjoys that one. It’s not what I would have done.”

Kenseth wound up leading a race-high 153 laps, but his wild ride with a handful to go dropped him to 14th in the race and, more importantly, last among the 12 drivers in the title race.

Already eliminated from contention, Jimmie Johnson had a strong car all day and wound up behind Hamlin in third.

Kasey Kahne was fourth, followed by Chase drivers Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch. Ryan Blaney was seventh, followed by more title contenders in Carl Edwards, pole sitter Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon and Ryan Newman.

Hamlin’s second-place finish allowed him to climb to second in the standings, giving him the best chance of everybody outside of Logano of moving onto the next round.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Banfield pushed over the goal line for his second touchdown of the game on a 1-yard run at the 8:38 mark of the second period. With Gulling’s extra-point kick, it was 17-14.

Schlenker bolted free on the BlueJay’s next possession for a 24-yard touchdown run.

Newton came right back to move the football on runs by Sturtz and an 11-yard pass from Sturtz to Bryce Tish for 11 yards.

The Cardinals had the ball near midfield when Sturtz’s pass was intercepted by Bondurant-Farrar’s Seth Moeller.

Moeller raced 45 yards for a touchdown. Paulsen’s extra-point kick put the BlueJays up 31-14 with 3:36 left in the first half.

Back came the Cardinals.

Nevels returned the kickoff to the Newton 35-yard line then had back-to-back runs for a first down. Rosenquist, who replaced an injured Banfield, had three runs to pick up a first down.

A pass from Sturtz to Tish was incomplete, but the BlueJays were penalized for a personal foul. Newton gained 15 yards on the penalty and Sturtz connected with Tish on a 12-yard pass play. Nevels maneuvered through traffic for 17 yards and a touchdown.

Gulling added the extra point to pull the Cardinals within 10 points again, 31-21, with 30.8 seconds remaining in the first half. Two plays later, the BlueJays upped their lead to 38-21 when Clark broke two tackles getting to the corner and up the sideline for a 46-yard touchdown run with 9.3 seconds on the clock.

Nevels almost broke away to respond, gaining 26 yards, on a run to end the first half.

On the second-half opening kickoff, Newton’s Trevor Ergenbright tackled Carter Wiedern and jarring the football loose. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the fumbled football rolled out of bounds on the play and the BlueJays retained possession.

Schlenker finished a 68yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown at the 8:13 mark.

Newton moved the football again, but came up short on a fourth-and-four pass play

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Trevor Ergenbirght jars the football loose from Bondurant-Farrar’s Carter Wiedern (33) on this tackle on the second-half kickoff return. The fumbled ball went out of bounds, so Bondurant-Farrar retained possession in Friday’s district game at Bondurant.

at the Bondurant-Farrar 29yard line. Schlenker went right up the middle for a 72yard touchdown run for a 5221 lead.

The Cardinals failed on another fourth down attempt with 31 seconds left in the third quarter at the BlueJays’ 40-yard line. Newton’s defense held and Paulsen attempted a 47-yard field goal, which was short of its mark early in the fourth quarter.

On a drive comprised mostly of runs by Rosenquist, the Cardinals went 80 yards on 10 plays. Rosenquist, who finished with 90 yards on 20 carries, finished the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run with 3:52 remaining in the game.

Banfield, who had 119 yards on 16 carries, attempted to return to the field in the second half, but only for one play. Linebacker Austin James suffered another injury in the first half for the second straight game. Andrew

Weiland and Alex Miller, linemen, were injured in the second half.

Sturtz was 5-of-10 for 60 yards passing and he rushed for 31 yards. Nevels finished with 137 yards on 14 carries for the Cardinals. Tish made two catches for 23 yards while Jwan Roush had a reception for 21 yards.

Jwan Roush and Cole Peters returned to the Newton starting lineup as defensive backs. Peters hadn’t played since the opener at Knoxville and Roush, who was a starting running back also, had been sidelined since the second game of the season.

Duncan Lee racked up seven solo tackles and six assisted tackles from his linebacker spot for the Cardinals.

Rosenquist had seven unassisted tackles and one assisted tackle, and Jwan Roush had three solos and one assisted tackle.

“It was the same thing as it

has been all season. We gave up big plays defensively,” Ergenbright said. “The guys still never gave up. We have one game left. We’re going to try to get healed up and see if we can get one at home.”

Newton is 0-8 overall and 0-5 in Class 3A District 6 play. The Cardinals host Nevada Friday in the final district contest.

Mets take 2-0 lead over Cubs in NLCS

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High freshman Joshua Adkinson (36) wraps up Bondurant-Farrar’s Griffen Snelson (9) during Friday’s game at Bondurant. The Cardinal freshmen led 26-0 at halftime and won 33-6. No individual statistics from the game were available at press time. Newton’s freshmen conclude their season at home Friday against Nevada.

NEW YORK (AP) — Daniel Murphy homered off yet another ace. Noah Syndergaard turned in one more outstanding outing from the Mets’ collection of studly young starters.

Power, pitching, plus some dazzling defense are falling into place for New York. The Mets breezed past the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Sunday night for a 2-0 lead in a surprisingly one-sided NL Championship Series.

Jake Arrieta, baseball’s most dominant pitcher since the All-Star break, had not even settled in when Murphy homered for the fourth straight game, a two-run drive just inside the right-field pole in a three-run first inning.

Given the quick lead on a chilly night, Syndergaard kept the bats of Chicago’s young sluggers on ice with shutout ball into the sixth inning.

Curtis Granderson robbed Chris Coghlan of a likely home run with a leaping grab at the center-field wall, swiped a pair of bases and scored two runs for the Mets.

After beating Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Jon Lester and Arrieta, the Mets are two wins from reaching their first World Series since 2000.

New York starts NL Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom when the series resumes Tuesday night at Wrigley Field.

Chicago goes with Kyle Hendricks, part of the less-than-imposing back end of its rotation. If the long-downtrodden Cubs are to reach the World Series for the first time since 1945, they must first force the best-of-seven NLCS back to Citi Field next weekend.

After homering off Kershaw, Greinke and Lester, Murphy added his fifth home run of the postseason, giving him eight RBIs in seven games.

Having made the first relief appearance of his big league career in Game 5 against the Dodgers, Syndergaard came out throwing 99 mph darts until the the sixth, when Dexter Fowler singled and scored on Kris Byrant’s two-out double off the left-field wall.

Jon Niese came in and struck out Anthony Rizzo, squelching Chicago’s comeback hopes.
