Breckenridge raises three times more than Payton

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News State campaign finance reports reveal one Iowa House District 29 candidate has a clear fundraising edge.

According to reports filed

by Wednesday’s state-mandated reporting deadline, the campaign of Democratic nominee Wes Breckenridge has raised more than three times as much as Republican nominee Patrick Pay-

Payton

ton for the period of July 15 to Oct. 14, taking in more than $12,500 in cash contri-

butions to Payton’s $4,000, along with more than $400 in in-kind donations. Breckenridge spent about $4,500, while Payton spent about $6,500.

Breckenridge had a slightly higher overall opening balance than Payton coming into the reporting period.

The Democrat’s campaign finished with an ending balance of about $13,000 compared to Payton’s $2,800.

“Bankers Unite in Legisla-

tive Decisions AKA: BUILD” and the Credit Union PAC were Breckenridge’s biggest contributors with their $1,000 donations. Four statewide PACs and two labor unions contributed $500 each. Marty Ford of Newton made the largest individual donation at $300.

Payton received contributions from 16 individuals — 11 of whom are Jasper County residents — including a $1,900 individual contribu-

He also received a total of $1,000 from the Republican county committee.

Rep. Mark Smith (D-Marshalltown), the House minority leader, made Breckenridge’s largest in-kind donation, donating $300 as a fundrasier raffle prize.

The next statutory reporting cycle ends Nov. 1, with reports due Nov. 4.

Park board mulls over Maytag Park office idea Conversation tabled until November

of progress at city hall for the public to stop by and take a look and see what has been accomplished both by city staff and private businesses our the community.”

Highlights of the list include NASCAR’s investment in the Iowa Speedway in November 2013, the establishment of the Friends of Newton Parks nonprofit organization in April 2014 and the creation of Newton Fest in June 2015, among many more accomplishments.

The Newton Park Board discussed the future of the Maytag Park caretaker’s home at its meeting Wednesday night at Newton City Hall.

The 900 square foot home, which hasn’t had work done to it since around the mid-1970s, had been used as a residential rental but has been vacant since renters moved out this summer.

The board heard from Public Works Director Keith Laube about the Maytag Park caretaker’s home property, and Laube provided a plan showing renovations needed to update the property into either a marketable residential rental or an office.

“Whatever we do with this structure, we probably need to invest a little bit of money to do those upgrades. If we wanted to put it into a public space, whether that’s an education center or park office, we would need to do some additional components,” Laube said.

Newton debuts 100 Signs of Progress

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To celebrate the four year anniversary of “Newton’s Future: A Comprehensive Plan,” 100 signs of progress were announced by the city, showing how far it has come in recent years.

Ranging from new events and improvements within the community to new city initiatives, the list shows many areas of success in Newton.

“Four years ago, city officials and leaders recognized that Newton is well-posi-

tioned to rebound from the challenges of losing Maytag and also prosper in the immediate future,” city senior analyst Natalie Umsted said.

“This list of 100 Signs of Progress is evidence that business and community leaders have embraced this challenge and have gotten to work reinventing and reinvigorating the Newton community.”

The kick-off to the list came from the anniversary of Newton’s comprehensive plan which was adopted in October 2012. An innovative approach to city planning,

it serves as both the official policy and strategic approach for future development and growth, along with identifying goals and objectives that may be taken up by city officials, nonprofit organizations, local businesses or individuals.

“It’s always nice for city staff and the community to reflect over the past four years. To get a perspective of what we have accomplished and where we are headed in the next four years,” Newton Mayor Mike Hansen said. “I thought it was an excellent idea to display those 100 sign

C-M school board Local agencies continue to battle with Medicaid to begin discussion Providers still struggling to on sharing options get Medicaid payments with Baxter

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo School Board has set itself up for a November regular meeting that will include discussion about C-M’s interest level in regard to any type of sharing with Baxter Community School District.

Baxter will not be renewing the 29-year sports sharing agreement it has with Collins-Maxwell and is currently surveying the landscape with several neighboring school districts, including Col-

fax-Mingo.

C-M Superintendent Tracy Hook informed the board during Monday night’s meeting he met with Baxter Superintendent Todd Martin about possible sharing opportunities that may be available in the future.

According to Hook, the discussion was focused around both athletics and academics, but didn’t involve specifics.

Hook said he needs to discuss the issue with his board of education before talks progress any further.

The flavors of fall Submitted Photo

By Emily Ring, RD, LD, CDE Newton Daily News Fall brings an abundance of flavorful, seasonal foods that are packed full of nutrition.

October is National Pork Month, Apple Month, Cranberry Month, and Oct. 29 is National Oatmeal Day. Now is the time to take advantage of these flavorful fall foods and the nutrition they provide.

Oatmeal is the Hy-Vee dietitian Pick of the Month for October, and it is a great pairing with these seasonal fall foods.

National Pork Month

Pork Month was originally started because October was the time most hogs were brought to market. Now the month has evolved into a way to educate consumers on pork production and the nutritional benefits of eating pork.

According to the USDA, pork is the world’s most widely eaten meat, making up 42 percent of meat consumption worldwide. To choose the leanest cuts, look for the words “round” or “loin” in the name. These cuts will contain higher amounts of quality protein and lower amounts of saturated fat.

Pork tenderloin contains the same fat content as a skinless chicken breast and offers a good source of many B vitamins and minerals. The pork tenderloin is not only lean, but it is versatile and flavorful as well.

Oatmeal works great as a coating for both tenderloin and pork chops. You can leave the oatmeal whole or grind it up into a flour for a flavorful twist. Or you can try the recipe below for an easy pork chop sauté; it is a weeknight dinner idea your family will be sure to love.

National Cranberry Month

October is the peak month of harvesting cranberries.

Cranberries are grown on vines in bogs or wet marshy areas.

Cranberries are known for their bacteria-blocking compounds that have been linked to the prevention of urinary tract infections. New research is showing these compounds may also be helpful in preventing ulcers and gum disease. Cranberries’ rich antioxidant content may help reduce inflammation and increase heart health.

Cranberries come in a variety of forms with varying nutrition content. Fresh, frozen, canned, dried and cranberry juice all contain the bacteria-blocking compounds. If fresh or frozen cranberries are too tart for you, make them into a sauce by boiling them with water or low-sugar orange juice just until they pop.

Overcooking the cranberries will increase their bitterness. Fresh cranberry sauce is excellent stirred into oatmeal or plain Greek yogurt. Better yet, stir all three together for a creamy fall treat.

When choosing dried cranberries or juice, look for ones with no or less added sugar.

National Apple Month

More than 2,500 varieties of apples are grown in the U.S. There is sure to be a variety to please even the pickiest eater.

The saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” has scientific merit. One study found eating an apple a day helped reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol. Regular apple consumption has also been linked to weight loss, improved gut health, cancer prevention and reduced inflammation.

There are many ways to add apples to your daily diet.

The easiest way is to wash and eat. Or add chopped apples and a dash of cinnamon to oatmeal before cooking it for a flavorful fall treat.

Apples and oatmeal make a great fall combo in bars, cookies and breakfast breads as well.

Keep in mind, apples ripen six to 10 times faster at room temperature, so if you want your apples to last longer, store them in the refrigerator.

Easy Pork Chop Sauté with Cranberries 1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves 1/4 tsp salt, divided 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper, divided 4 boneless pork loin chops, trimmed 2/3 c. cranberry or orange juice

2 1/2 to 3 tbsp honey 2 tsp canola oil 1/4 c. chopped onion 1 c. fresh or thawed frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped

1. Mix thyme and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle pork chops with the thyme mixture. 2. Stir cranberry juice and honey in a 1-cup glass measure until well blended. 3.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chops and cook until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. 4. Push the chops to one side of the pan, add onion to the empty half and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. 5. Pour half the juice mixture into the pan. Add cranberries. Reduce heat to medium and cook, turning the chops occasionally, until cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the chops to a serving plate and tent with foil to keep warm. 6. Add the remaining juice mixture to the pan.

Increase heat to high and cook until the mixtures reduces to form a syrupy sauce, about 2 minutes.

Spoon the sauce over the chops.

Breckenridge defeated incumbent Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) in the June 7 Democratic primary election, while no Republicans ran against Payton. Kelley then decided to run in the November general election to retain his seat as a member of the “Stand Up To Bullies” party, and he has filed campaign finance reports as well.

Kelley has nearly the same negative overall balance he had in July.

He took in about $340 in cash contributions within the past 90 days and spent about $290, leaving his campaign with a balance of about -$2,300.

The campaign had six total contributors, including a check Kelley wrote to his own campaign for $10 and had one other $10 donation from a Newton resident. The largest contribution was $150 from the Iowa Association of Nurse Anesthetists PAC. He listed zero in-kind contributions.

In the House District 28 race, incumbent Greg Heartsill, a Republican, fundraised more than Democrat Martin Duffy by nearly a 5-to-1 ratio, $12,000 to $2,700.

District 14 Sen. Amy Sinclair (R-Allerton) has raised nearly $33,000 in her bid for re-election.

Her challenger, Ruth Smith (D-Lamoni), didn’t file a report by Wednesday’s deadline.

“I think they look at us as a viable option for the future,” Hook said. “I told him I cannot and will not answer any ... where we stand at this point because I have not had any direction from our board of education. Until I visit with you guys that’s the way it’ll be.”

School board member Jan Myers requested the item be added to the next regular meeting, which typically takes place on the third Monday of every month.

Medicaid Continued from Page 1A Terry Sallis, the executive director of Integrated Treatment Services, said he won’t turn away clients who need the substance abuse and other mental health services offered, but it’s been an uphill battle since three private managed-care organizations took over Iowa Medicaid in April.

“We’ve finally been able to reach some of the MCO people who have decision-making powers,” Sallis said. “But

about it sooner rather than later,” Myers said.

Board president Mary Poulter added she would like to hear more specifics from Baxter on what its board of education is asking before next month’s meeting.

“We don’t know what to talk about if we don’t know what they’re asking,” Poulter said.

Also scheduled to be on November’s agenda is the consideration of modified allowable growth for enrollment trends in the state.

Hook informed the board that C-M has certified its enrollment which is currently at 721 students

— eight fewer than the 2015-16 enrollment of 729.

One cause for that gap, he said, is that C-M graduated 45 students last year but is bringing in just 39 kindergartners this school year.

The action item was tabled because some area schools were not certified

by Monday, and the Iowa Department of Education recommends that school boards wait until all area districts are certified before taking action on modified allowable growth.

we still are dealing with a lot of people or phone systems or payment setups that are not beneficial. Also, there is no real direct oversight of the MCOs at the state level.”

While IA Health Link is technically the staterun organization that coordinates Medicaid coverage, each of the three MCOs — UnitedHealthcare Plan of the River Valley, Amerigroup Iowa, and AmeriHealth Caritas Iowa — has individual forms, procedures, billing methods and cooperate staffing structures. This means every provider has had

to develop relationships with each of the MCOs, learning how to get forms completed accurately and how to follow up to insure payment.

Sandy Ham, the CEO of Progress Industries, said it’s important to note that a significant portion of her organizations’ revenue comes from Medicaid.

“The services that we provide and the way that we provide those services have not changed as a result of this transition,” Ham said. “What has changed is the way we manage administration of services. From

authorization of services through billing for services, it has been a challenge learning new systems and new processes.”

Smith told the Newton Daily News Capstone is owed about $200,000 collectively from the three MCOs. Sallis said one of the most frustrating parts of the transition has been taking the time to negotiate contracts with all three MCOs before April 1 to ensure Integrated Treatment Services would be considered in-network, only to find at least one MCO was only paying an outof-network rate of reimbursement.

As requested by Poulter, board members will take turns manning tables at both the elementary and Jr/ Sr high school to provide information to parents as well as show visuals of projects the PPEL has funded in the past.

C-M is asking voters to continue the current levy of 67 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation for a period of five years at a public vote.

According to Iowa Code section 298.3, PPEL dollars can fund construction of schools, buildings and roads, payment of debt for facilities repair, and improving existing facilities, and technology equipment exceeding $500 in unit value such as musical instruments, computers and science lab accessories.

Parent-teacher conferences are Nov. 3 — Jr/Sr high school only, Nov. 10 and Nov. 17 — elementary only. Information tables will be open from 4 to 8 p.m.

said it turned out AmeriHealth had actually set up two separate accounts for Integrated — one listing them as an in-network provider, and one listing Integrated as out-of-network.

While it provided a major answer to uncover this particular problem, it’s locating and clearing through thousands of such barriers that have made Medicaid billing a strain on resources and patience.

“They’re trying to help us,” Roush said the of MCO employees who speak with her by phone.

“But it seems like some of them have an awfully high workload. And when we can’t get calls returned, or forms are filled out wrong, or a name or information is not in a system, it’s really hard to get into a work flow where things become routine.”

Integrated Treatment Services doesn’t have the outstanding Medicaid balance that compares to Capstone, but it also is a smaller organization.

Roush said Integrated is currently owed about

$6,000 by Amerihealth and about half as much from UnitedHealthcare, totaling between $8,000 and $9,000. AmeriGroup is the MCO with whom Integrated has had “the least trouble,” she said.

Sallis thanked his staff and Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) for their help in improving the Medicaid process and learning where the sticking points were located.

He said he did not intend to dedicate an employee like Roush to the type and quantity of billing tasks that have eaten up many hours over the past six months.

Ham said the hard work of provider staffs are what allow the clients to be kept at the top of the priority list.

“I am proud of how our employees have and continue to make it work so that we can provide important services,” Ham said. “Just like any major change, it will get better.”

Sometimes you have to mark it zero E

Trending Mike Mendenhall

ditor’s Note: This column originally published Feb. 4, 2016 I am king of the 9-pin frame. That last pin just stares at me down the lane, sometimes centered and others hugging that back corner. It always keeps me from breaking the 150-point mark.

Last week I bowled the best game of my life — a 147. I know, it’s pretty bad, but bowling is about fun.

I love nights with friends debating politics — it’s kind of what I do — analyzing cinema, art and cultural changes, but I do that as part of my job on a

weekly basis. Sometimes a trip to the bowling alley with my girlfriend Betsy and a less-intense group of friends is the best way to unplug.

Betsy has been best friends with Megan since elementary school and with Sean since the newlyweds met at Kamodo Klub (always a running joke) in downtown Des Moines seven years ago. The couple is relaxed. There is no pretension while hanging with Megan and Sean. There’s rarely talk of topics which keep up the tension, and any political speak Sean does with a nonthreatening smile. Megan and Sean are the couple you hang with when

nothing matters but pure human interaction. They put you completely at ease.

Last weekend we had our off-theradar night at the lanes. Sean pulled his personal bowling ball out of its dark-blue, leather bag and a white cloth to buff and polish. He didn’t wear his 300-game ring that night, but I knew it was probably sitting on his dresser at home, and the ring’s mere existence gave me the feeling that I was about to be scratched all the way out of the alley. But Sean’s “no-worries” attitude and Megan and Betsy’s infectious laughter — summarizing two decades of friendship in one quick moment — made my 86 and 97 games less about the scoreboard and more about the fun happening at our table.

We remembered the moment that Megan’s 4-year-old nephew face-

palmed during outdoor pictures at the couple’s wedding that summer. I was the wedding photographer and captured Megan’s tear-jerking laughter as her nephew looked like a “little-adult” walking in his mini-tuxedo. Sean proudly trumpeted his research on the perfect market conditions to buy a house. Betsy and I told the tale of my dad’s recent birthday boar-hunting trip to Texas.

With heavy references to “The Big Lebowski” — and for fans of the film there was plenty of “marking it zero” on my scorecard — and a good Sam Adams Cold Snap, our night of bowling did what it intended. It allowed us to detach. Sometimes it takes friends that care about the simple things to bowl a strike in life.

‘Spider Catches Pig!’ “Spider Catches Pig!” was the caption under the picture on the front page of the Mt. Pleasant News.

Karl Schaefer (the pig) had proposed to Amy Johnson (the spider) in Mt. Pleasant Community Theater’s production of “Charlotte’s Web.” Both Mt. Pleasant News and The Hawkeye newspapers were there to record the event. The year was 2004.

Karl likes to say they met in “Oklahoma,” fell in love in “The Music Man,” and he proposed to her in “Charlotte’s Web.” This is a true life, for real, community-theater love story, folks. You can’t write it any better than this.

Karl is the manager of Becker’s Jewelry in Mt. Pleasant. Amy works for United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties. They live in Mt. Pleasant and have a six-year old son, Colin. Karl was a music and dance major in college. He is also a massage therapist and has taught ballet and acrobatics. Amy has a degree in theater from UNI. There is 11 years difference in their age, but you would never know it.

They both act like two peas in a pod.

Amy had just graduated from college and had returned to Mt. Pleasant before she pursued her career in acting. She thought she would get a couple of productions under her belt before she went off to Minneapolis or New York. She landed the leading lady part in “Oklahoma” for Mt. Pleasant Community Theater. Karl played a funny but major role, and was awfully friendly. Before Amy went on stage, they would sit at the back of the set and talk. The actors were having trouble lifting Amy in a dance routine. They were squishing her. Karl taught them how to raise her arms and lift. He thought, “Hmm, this is fun.”

They didn’t see each other for two years. Amy was auditioning for the leading lady role in “Music Man” for Mt. Pleasant Community Theater. She thought Karl would be the ideal leading male role, but she didn’t know where to find him. As luck or fate would have it, they ran into each other at the post office.

She easily talked Karl into trying out. She said, “It would be great if you and I were the lead. We would have so much fun and have a lot of good chemistry together.” (She was thinking with her theater brain.)

“We could jive this!” Karl swallowed his Adam’s Apple real hard.

He auditioned and got the part. During productions of “Music Man” they would dance together off stage to intermission music. Though Amy and Karl didn’t know it, they were falling in love.

But all of their friends and family knew it. All you had to do was see them together to know that their relationship was more than just “friends.” Karl’s buddies teased, “You need to ask her out.”

“Yeah, fat chance of that,” Karl joked. “She would never go out with me.”

But Amy got up her nerve, walked into the jewelry store and told Karl, “We need to talk.”

Karl asked, “Have you been getting the same feedback about us that I have?”

Amy said, “Well, what would be wrong with that?”

Karl fainted and had to be revived with smelling salts.

During dress rehearsal for “Charlotte’s Web” something strange was happening. The cast was acting giddy. Amy’s mother and one of Karl’s best friends were there, which was unusual. During an intimate scene between Amy and Karl, Karl was all over the place. But he had a tendency to go off book, and Amy knew how to get him back on script.

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Support Cupples for supervisor As one drives around Jasper County you undoubtly see a bright yellow yard sign with a smiley face — reading Doug Cupples Jasper County Supervisor. This sign represents an individual that we all should desire to be one of our Jasper County Supervisors.

I have known Doug for a number of years and have had opportunities to witness his leadership skills, participation in the community and county and his integrity. He puts others first, respects people and is a faithful servant of Christ. When Doug speaks he is very candid and, if he is unsure, he will do the research to give a correct answer. He started his own business so he understands how to manage and handle cus-

tomers, prioritize and knows the value of the dollar.

As a Jasper County voter Doug represents what I desire in a supervisor, someone who puts things in priority order of importance, to get the most from our tax dollars and to make the county better. I trust you will join me and mark your ballot for Doug Cupples.

Campaigns end on Election Day — revolutions don’t Bernie Sanders’ truly revolutionary campaign for president ended in July after the last Democratic primary election. Corporatists, cynics and most of the media assumed that the grassroots populist revolution he inspired was over as well.

They couldn’t imagine that the diverse mix of young people, working-class voters, independents, progressive mavericks and millions of others whom Bernie energized as an independent political group could stay together, much less mount any serious challenge to the business-as-usual elites.

But far beyond the little negative bubble where those scoffing

Another View Jim Hightower prognosticators dwell, something called “Our Revolution” is rising across America’s political horizon.

That’s the name of the new organizational structure Bernie’s forged to continue his electoral storm. As civil rights leader Ben Jealous said when he joined the board, “Bernie’s transformative campaign was just the beginning.”

Not only will the revolution continue, but it’s going to spread throughout the country, grow, and gain strength by bringing the

populist issues, grassroots methods, and small-dollar funding of Sanders’ presidential run to local and state politics.

Our Revolution (on the board of which I also serve) will be an independent political network of 50 interconnected state networks.

Each state group will recruit, train, and support candidates, as well as run state and local issue campaigns.

The Revolution’s goal isn’t just to run and raise issues, but to rally America’s workaday majority to win, govern, and transform our society from plutocracy back to democracy. Those who join can help inspire a nation of social, racial, and environmental justice.

New food poisoning detection and response initiative announced The Iowa Department of Public Health announced a new joint initiative with the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals that should reduce the impact of reported foodborne illness in Iowa.

“These departments have joined forces to establish a statewide one-call system Iowans can use to report illnesses associated with food poisoning,” IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk said. “Once a call is made to the IowaSic hotline at 1-844-469-2742, trained specialists will begin an investigation into the cause and source of the illness, which could greatly reduce the number of ill Iowans.”

The 2013 Cyclospora outbreak, which was responsible for sickening at least 127 individuals in Iowa, Nebraska and other Midwest states, is a good example of how foodborne illness investigations are conducted. During

the 2013 outbreak, epidemiologists and food safety specialists, working in collaboration with the State Hygienic Laboratory, were able to trace the cause of the Cyclospora outbreak to fresh produce grown and packaged in Mexico. The contaminated product had been distributed to a national restaurant chain where it eventually was consumed by patrons primarily in Iowa and Nebraska.

“Iowa was the first state to positively identify the cause of the outbreak, which permitted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to trace it back to the source,” Dr. Quinlisk said. “Had the IowaSic hotline and supporting processes been in place in 2013, it’s possible the duration and impact of the outbreak could have been reduced.”

The IowaSic hotline will be answered by IDPH specialists who

Don’t Let Time Run Out On You! Don’t let your Flexible Spending Funds or Insurance Benefits go to WASTE!

Call Us Today! 792-1455

will ask callers about the illness, symptoms, onset and duration, and also complete a history of all foods consumed for the past several days. Illnesses associated with foods purchased from or consumed at food establishments will be investigated by staff in DIA’s Food and Consumer Safety Bureau.

Food poisoning happens after eating or drinking contaminated foods or beverages, and occur at any time throughout the food preparation process, including growing, distribution processes, storage, cooking and service. Often, foodborne illness is the result of cross-contamination, poor hygiene or improper heating and cooling of prepared foods. If you suspect food poisoning after consuming an item from a restaurant, grocery store, convenience store, market or public gathering, call IDPH’s IowaSic hotline at 1-844-469-2742.

Woman’s disappearing act ends four-year relationship

DEAR ABBY: I was “ghosted” by a woman I had been in a long-distance relationship with. It lasted four years until one day she just never responded again.

We are both parents, both 30, so it’s hard for me to understand how someone could do this to a person you’ve had a history with and claim to love. It seems like a child’s reaction. I’m finding it hard to move past this, because I have no idea what happened.

I feel blindsided. Could she have been hurt or died? I have no one to contact and no way to know. My question is, how does one go about moving past this, since it wasn’t a typical breakup? I would really appreciate your thoughts.

— CAN’T GO FORWARD DEAR CAN’T GO: What the person did was cowardly, but I’m sorry to say it isn’t that unusual these days.

What IS unusual is that during the four years you were in a relationship, you never met any of her friends or family, and have no idea how to contact her. Are you absolutely sure she is who she claimed to be and not a catfisher?

I agree that for someone to do what she did was childish. It was also brutal, and you may need counseling to help you get over it and learn to trust again.

DEAR ABBY: My question may seem odd, but your advice would be appreciated.

I have family who live in another city and have a medium-sized active dog. I have invited them to visit me in my newly built home, which has soft pine floors throughout. I mentioned to them that I would like to supply dog booties when they visit so their dog’s claws — and the grit that gets caught up between its toes — would not scratch my brand-new floors. We are a family who has always removed our shoes when we enter a home.

I have tried inviting them numerous

times over the past two years, but they always have an excuse why they can’t visit. Another family member told me that a comment was made that, “If we have to put booties on our dog and they want a showcase home, then it will be empty of us.” Am I being silly and too particular with my request and thereby causing ill feelings within the family?

— DOG BOOTIES IN CANADA DEAR DOG BOOTIES: Your request is neither picky nor “silly.” After paying top dollar for a new floor, I know I certainly wouldn’t want somebody’s pet scratching it up. A considerate guest would either comply or leave the dog at home. If they prefer not to accept your invitation, LET THEM. DEAR ABBY: I love to cook for my family. My granddaughter has now become a vegan. It has taken away my enjoyment for the fun meals we used to have. I can no longer cook for her, and it has changed the family dynamics. How can I cope with this without being angry? — SAD DOWN SOUTH DEAR SAD: Allow me to offer two suggestions. Either have your granddaughter bring food with her that she can eat, or widen your repertoire by learning to prepare one vegan dish the entire family can enjoy along with her.

1 Davenport man sentenced to 20 years for heroin death

2

DAVENPORT— A Davenport man has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for providing a fatal dose of heroin to a woman in May 2015.

Kiel James Kiwala, 30, was sentenced Monday in Davenport’s U.S. District Court. There is no parole in the federal system. Kiwala pleaded guilty in June to one count of distribution of heroin resulting in death. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dismissed an additional charge of distribution of heroin.

DENISON — Authorities say a 51-yearold man accidentally shot himself on his way into a western Iowa field to hunt deer with his wife. The shooting occurred around 5 p.m. Monday in southern Crawford County. The Iowa Natural Resources Department says Daniel Gehling, of Denison, was adjusting the handgun in his waistband when it went off. The bullet struck one of his thighs. The department says his wife, Carolyn, called for help and applied pressure on the wound to stanch the bleeding.

Engineer offers to buy courthouse in Keokuk

3 2 Charge dismissed for 1 of 3

KEOKUK — A retired civil engineer is offering to buy one of Lee County’s two courthouses if voters next month approve a bond issue to pay for a new, centralized courthouse. David Barrett, a retired engineer who now serves as a Methodist pastor, wrote a letter to the county Board of Supervisors outlining his plan to buy the South Lee County Courthouse in Keokuk.

He would turn the brick courthouse into upscale apartments, possibly with some office space.

STORM LAKE — One of three people charged in an Iowa Lottery ticket fraud case won’t be going to trial.

Prosecutors have determined they don’t have enough evidence to convict Sally Bosler. The charge of aiding and abetting was dismissed Monday. Her daughter, Ashley Bosler, and Ashley’s boyfriend, Johnny Long Jr., have pleaded not guilty to charges of theft of a lottery ticket or share.

Grassley, Judge spar over US Supreme Court vacancy SIOUX CITY — Incumbent U.S. Senate Republican Chuck Grassley and Democratic challenger Patty Judge sparred over the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy during their Sioux City debate.

Among other criticisms Judge leveled at Grassley and his GOP colleagues on Wednesday night, she cited Grassley’s refusal to hold Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the nomination of Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland to the high court. Judge characterized Grassley’s decision as an example of the political games played in Washington.

Grassley disagreed,

saying voters should play a role in such matters when they select the next president. He told radio reporters

Tuesday in Washington that the new president should make the choice and that the Senate Republicans “can’t just

simply stonewall.”

Both candidates expressed their support for ensuring a federal safety net for farmers.

Madeleine Albright makes stop at vandalized Islamic center WATERLOO (AP) — Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Wednesday visited an Islamic center in Waterloo that was vandalized over the weekend.

Albright was in town to campaign for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. But after learning of the vandalism — in which Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s last name was spray-painted in red on a wall — Albright added a stop at the center to hold an informal town hall about what it is to be

Muslim is America.

“I really do think it is in communities that, here in America, people can understand each other as people and as believers in the commonality of what we all do, and how we treat each other, and what America is really about,” Albright told about 30 people who gathered at the Masjid Al-Noor Islamic Center on Wednesday.

She also asked those attending about the impact of the vandalism.

Elizabeth Collins, of Waterloo, said she believes “hateful

rhetoric and the bigotry” led to the vandalism.

“It becomes an issue when you have an overwhelming amount of media portraying something like Islam like it’s not,” Collins said. “You see more of the bad than you see more of the good.”

Albright also criticized the negative tone of this election.

“I hate to say this,” she said.

“I don’t like this election at all.

I love politics. This is a hideous election in so many ways, because it is done specifically to divide us.”

ALL ACCESS is just one visit away!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sometimes, the answer to a debate question seems obvious.

Donald Trump, will you absolutely accept the results of this presidential election?

He dodged. Twice.

“I will look at it at the time,” Trump bobbed.

Moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News pressed the question again.

“I will tell you at the time,” Trump weaved. “I’ll keep you in suspense.”

The final presidential debate of the 2016 campaign got off to a remarkably civil start Wednesday night: two candidates discussing serious issues such as abortion and gun control. Imagine that.

Could this campaign, ugly and unpredictable for so long, finally be veering back to more traditional territory?

Don’t count on it.

A half-hour in, the name calling and interruptions resumed.

An hour in, came the stunner: An exchange in which a major presidential candidate, speaking to tens of millions of watching American voters, declined to endorse the legitimacy of the coming election results.

“If you look at your voter rolls, you will see millions of people ... that are registered to vote that shouldn’t be registered to vote,” Trump said.

He said Clinton shouldn’t even be allowed to run for president, citing the “rigged” results of an FBI inquiry into her use of a private email setup.

“She’s guilty of a very, very serious crime,” Trump said.

For the record: There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in U.S. elections. And the FBI concluded that while Clinton had handled classified material in her emails in a reckless manner, there was nothing to prosecute.

Clinton was quick to call out Trump.

She called his response “horrifying.”

“He is talking down our democracy,” she said.

“I, for one, am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position.”

Clinton offered other examples of Trump crying foul when things didn’t go his way: when he lost the Iowa caucuses, when he lost the Wisconsin primary, when Trump University got sued.

April 21, 2014 - The City of Newton kicks off neighborhood revitalization efforts and purchases three homes for the D&D program.

Newton’s D&D Program is a tool the City uses to demolish dilapidated properties. The City aquires the property, tears it down, and then resells the empty lot for redevelopment. Although the D&D Program has opperated in Newton since the late 1980s, in recent years the City Council has dedicated funding to the program, leading to the demolition of over 50 eyesore properties.

The Narcotics K9 Unit allows the Police Department to target drug activity within the community. In addition to assisting with narcotics-related investigations, the K9 is also trained in trailing human scent; enhancing the department’s ability to find missing children, Alzheimer’s patients who wander from home, and suspects who run from the police.

Sept. 1, 2016 - Unwind at 5 hosts first event.

Unwind at 5 is a weekly social from 5-7 p.m. featuring live entertainment, Iowa craft beer, Iowa wine and hors devours.

Progress Continued from Page 1A “One of my favorite things to see as the city and our community partners worked to compile this list was the number of new and revitalized events in the community,” Umsted said. “From

the Young Professionals of Jasper County kicking off Re-Prom to the community hosting Newton Fest to Main Street bringing the Newton Farmers’ Market downtown, I think the number of things to do in Newton is growing, which makes it a fun place to live and work.”

Also included were the

many awards received by the city in recent years. In 2014, the Iowa City/County Management Association named “Newton’s Future: a Comprehensive Plan” Program of the Year. That year the plan also received the American Planning Association Iowa Chapter’s Grassroots Initiative of the Year. “Get to Know New-

ton,” the rebranding effort of the city, was also honored as Program of the Year by IaCMA in 2015.

“I could not be more excited about this,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said. “Anybody who says there is nothing going on in Newton can obviously see the progress we have made over the last sever-

al years.”

The full list is available for viewing online at www. gettoknownewton.com/newton-progress or in the latest edition of the Get to Know Newton magazine.

Local & State News Parks Continued from Page 1A The property would need some basic upgrades if the parks department would like to use it as a residential rental such as air condition, flooring, painting and plumbing renovations, an estimated total of $20,000-$25,000, Laube said.

It would need additional upgrades if the parks department would like to turn it into an office such as parking, electrical and ADA accessible entryway and restrooms.

Those would cost an additional $20,000 to $25,000 for a total of $40,000 to $50,000, Laube said.

“There is some differences in revenue there, but I look at efficiency of the operation — how it is going to function. We need to work together as one unit,” Laube said.

Each board member recently met with parks administrative superintendent Nathan Unsworth for a tour of the property and discussed the future of the facility, weighing the advantag-

es and disadvantages of using the property as a rental or an office.

To turn it into a rental would create a revenue source for the city, however, there would be no guarantee of a good renter through an open market.

Board member Amanda Price said she thinks maintaining the historic integrity of the home would be difficult with renters and feels it makes more sense to combine parks to one centralized location.

“I think because of the history of this building, the history of the park itself and that it’s in the park, I’d be all for it being the parks office,” Price said. “It would be nice to have a presence in the park, and I’m confident having the city in that building as an office it would last for hopefully another 100 years.”

To turn it into an office would improve logistics and create a more centralized parks department operation, however, it would leave behind its role with Project AWAKE and its presence at the Newton Arboretum.

File Photo The Newton Park Board discussed the future use of the Maytag Park caretaker’s home at the potential parks office Wednesday night at City Hall.

Project AWAKE board president Linda Dalton attended the meeting to observe and learn more about the building plans.

She said the nonprofit has enjoyed its agreement with the city.

“It’s worked out kind of as a mutually beneficial situation for a long time because we don’t really need anyone there full time to answer phones or occasional clerical things,” Dalton said.

Unsworth, who currently operates out of the

park office at the Newton Arboretum, said the office receives one to two calls a day in regard to Project AWAKE and an estimated 20 to 30,000 people visit the facility each year.

“I think it speaks well of Newton that we do have a presence out there.

It’s really convenient to have that office there, and it’s great to have somebody available for visitors. It’s something we would probably have to really think through,”

Dalton said.

Dalton said she plans to meet with the Project AWAKE board to research and evaluate how much of an asset the office is to the facility and will present its feedback to the park board.

The park board tabled the discussion until its November meeting for input from Project AWAKE. It will then decide a recommendation on how to use the space and what to budget.

The home could be re-

modeled this winter and it could be a parks office by the spring, Laube said.

This will depend on remaining available funds for this year, otherwise the city can budget it in the following year.

In other news: • The boulder park was approved by city council.

It will be installed spring 2017.

• Designs for an Aurora skate park have not been finished but Unsworth expects the designs to be ready later this fall.

• The bike trail from East 19th Street North to Woodland Park is in construction and nearing completion.

• Laube, Unsworth, Brad Sponseller and Nick Cummins met at Otter Creek to discuss its clubhouse operations and gather ideas for a future Westwood Golf Course clubhouse remodel. They also met with a small business consultant. Both were positive and productive conversations, Unsworth said.

Tribe offers pipeline protesters a place to overwinter BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Standing Rock Sioux’s tribal council has voted to make tribal land available for those protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline, though an organizer from another tribe says many of the several hundred gathered will remain on federal land without a permit.

The council voted 8-5 Tuesday to use the reservation land — which is about two miles south of the large Oceti Sakowin, or Seven Council Fires, camp on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property — so permanent

structures can be built to protect protesters from North Dakota’s notoriously brutal winter weather.

“The cold is coming and the snow is coming,” tribal chairman Dave Archambault II said Wednesday. “It makes sense to be proactive and not reactive.”

But the offer is too late, said Cody Hall, a protest organizer who is part of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe in South Dakota.

“Some people might move but I don’t think the majority of them will,” Hall said of

the camp’s population, which averages 500 to 700 people, though it sometimes swells to well over a thousand at times.

“The (Standing Rock) tribe sat on its heels too long and people started losing faith.”

Archambault countered that it took time to identify an appropriate spot for a new encampment on the 2.3 million-acre reservation that straddles North Dakota and South Dakota.

The camp, which is the overflow from smaller private and permitted protest sites nearby, began growing in

EXAMPLE

August and at one point was called the largest gathering of Native American tribes in a century. All were there to protest Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners’ $3.8 billion pipeline, which tribal officials believe threatens sacred sites and the Missouri River, which is a source of water for millions.

Protesters do not have a federal permit to be on the corps’ land, but the federal agency had said it wouldn’t evict them due to free speech reasons. Authorities have criticized that decision, say-

ing the site has been a launching point for protests at construction sites in the area; about 140 people who have been charged in recent weeks with interfering with such work.

Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said he supports moving the camp to the reservation because the protesters are currently trespassing on federal land.

“It is a good move and gesture ... by the council to make that decision to try to get those individuals back onto tribal land,” he said.

Cardinals face Indians on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News One more time together on the football field for Newton High’s 15 seniors comes Friday night.

The Cardinals (5-3) conclude the 2016 football season on Senior Night against Indianola (4-4) with a 7:30 p.m. Pregame kickoff Friday at H.A. Lynn Outlook Stadium. It is also Trenton Brady Night, as the team and NHS fans honor the late Trenton Brady.

“There will be a lot of emotion for the entire team going into this last game,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “Trenton’s family hosted our team meal Wednesday night, and we’ll have a bonfire.

The seniors were able to speak and share thoughts on Trenton and advice to our younger players.”

CARDINALS | 3B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. Newton High’s Cardinals have worked hard and played inspired football this season to honor their friend and teammate, the late Trenton Brady (No. 52). Brady, who died in an accident in June, would have been a senior and his jersey has been on the sidelines of every Cardinal game this season. Friday night is Senior Night for Newton and the final game of the season.

Grinnell defeated Newton in four sets to end the Cardinals’ season.

Cards come up short in regional

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — There was no doubt Newton High’s Cardinals were playing hard during Wednesday’s Class 4A Regional 6 opening match against host Grinnell High’s Tigers. It came down to consistency of play.

The Tigers’ play was more consistent in a match which went four sets. Grinnell

knocked Newton out of the postseason with a 26-24, 22-25, 25-20, 25-23 decision.

“This was a disappointing end to our season,” Newton head coach Ashley Carter said.

“Grinnell showed up to play, and we struggled to stay excited and consistent. Our passing and defense was sub par, and all the little things started to add up. We had moments with some big plays, but we would

Newton and Grinnell met for the fourth time this season.

This & That Troy Hyde Mid-Prairie is ranked fourth and features two of the top three ranked runners in the state. But how are the No. 4 and No. 5 runners?

They better be pretty good because that is what makes CMB so good. The Raiders don’t have a clear-cut No. 1.

Brenna Thomson has made the biggest jump to that spot in recent weeks, but three different runners have been the top finisher this year. The first five runners are only separated by about a minute.

CMB could place second in the state qualifier and still get on the podium with a top-three finish at state. The Raiders should place well at state, if they make it there, because their pack is so close together.

eryone. After Mid-Prairie and CMB, the girls field also includes PCM and Aplington-Parkersburg, who are both “teams to watch” in the rankings.

The Mustangs would have a much better chance with a healthy Jayci Vos. That won’t be possible unfortunately.

That may give A-P the edge. The Falcons have three standouts at the top of the lineup but the rest of the runners are a couple minutes back.

Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck and Dike-New Hartford both made it to state last year, so the field has a lot of talent. A pair of PCM sophomores — Paytan Schut and Kirstin Ives — are the Mustangs’ two best chances to advance to state.

In the boys race, PCM’s Chris Ellens is the top ranked runner in the field after a strong finish to his senior season.

There are eight other ranked runners in the race though, which makes the margin of error that much smaller.

Only the first 15 individuals qualify for state and eight of those positions could go to ranked runners. CMB’s Ian Thomson and Logan Berg feel like they should be part of that mix.

Colfax-Mingo senior Dakota Hostetter will go for her fourth state meet at 3 p.m. in Ankeny. There are four other runners ranked ahead of Hostetter in the race, but she should be able to easily cross somewhere in the first 15 positions.

The Tigerhawks also could send their first male runner to state under coach Zach Tomas.

Senior Cameron Warner was an all-conference runner. He should make a run at a state berth, but the varsity boys race features six ranked runners ahead of him.

Newton sophomore Rachel Rhoads qualified for the state meet in 3A last year. It will be much tougher to advance this year in 4A, but Rhoads is the Cardinals’ best option at a state berth.

Thursday’s races could go true to form. They may not. At this point, it’s all about guts, heart and determination, and the runners who want it more likely will end their season at a golf course in Fort Dodge on Oct. 29.

Raiders ousted in opening round by Roland-Story

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — Emotions were high for the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter volleyball team Wednesday night.

The Raiders not only ended the 2016 season with a fourset loss to Roland-Story. They also played their final sets and match as one program.

The first three sets were very competitive and then Roland-Story put the match away with a dominant fourth game during a 28-26, 20-25, 25-22, 25-14 home victory.

“It was tough. There are a lot of emotions right now,” CMB coach Scott Ranck said. “We could have won any of the first three games. We just relaxed a little bit in the fourth, and it was hard to recover from their start.”

The Raiders lost a big opportunity to take an early lead in the first set. They lost a 1913 advantage, and Roland-Story rallied behind hard hitting sophomore MaKayla Geise.

Back-to-back kills by Geise got the Norse (13-21) within one and then another blast put Roland-Story up 23-22.

CMB junior Brianda Bane recorded a pair of kills that tied the set up at 23- and 24all. The Raiders had set point but couldn’t close it out. Krista Mehl eventually gave the Norse a 1-0 lead with a kill and a block.

“If we could have pulled that one out, you never know,” Ranck said. “They just kept chipping away at the lead. And then we had to battle and just came up short.”

The Raiders struggled in the set when Bane left the game.

Ranck made an adjustment in the second set, moving junior Jordynn Wesselink to middle hitter to compensate for when Bane left the floor.

It worked in set two as CMB battled back to tie the match.

The back-and-forth start featured 11 ties. The Raiders eventually pulled ahead for good when they served five in a row to go up 17-12.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Kathleen Baldwin surpassed 1,000 assists for her career during the Raiders’ four-set loss to Roland-Story in the Class 3A Region 3 tournament Wednesday in Story City.

Bane and freshman Amber Weltha had consecutive kills to put the Raiders up six, and they eventually won it with three straight points after Roland-Story got within 22-20.

“I put Jordynn in the middle because we needed some more firepower,” Ranck said. “We have never practiced that, but

Prep Previews Continued from Page 1B

When Hurtado drops back to pass, he likely will go to either Brandyne Olin or Gabe Crawford. They have combined for 74 catches, more than 1,000 yards and 12 TDs. Olin also has two interceptions and a touchdown on defense.

“You have to stop the run first,” Bonnett said. “When we do that, they do have two giant receivers with good hands that have been hurting teams.”

Bonnett feels like Clarke’s strength defensively is stopping the run. That could mean some senior skill players could be in for big nights.

Senior quarterback Sheldon Speers ranks second in 2A in passing yards with 1,795. He leads the state in completion percentage (74.4) and touchdowns (24), too.

Bonnett expects Speers to have his full compliment of receivers this week, which means senior Noah Clark should be in uniform.

Clark missed the last two games with an ankle injury.

“He has been moving around fine, and I anticipate he will be ready to go,” Bonnett said. “In typical Noah fashion, he has been cranking on the weights everyday, and he has used the time to get stronger.”

Senior Luke Greiner also hopes to make plays on Senior Night. He leads the state in receiving TDs with 15, while also ranking second in yards (832) and third in receptions (41).

If the Mustangs are able to find running room against Clarke, three senior offensive linemen — Ethan Thomas, James Snodgrass and Leevi Telfer — will play a big part in opening holes for sophomore Wes Cummings (868 rushing yards, 11 TDs) and junior Noah Anderson (355 rushing yards, six TDs).

Defensively, Greiner has nine tackles for loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries, Speers has three interceptions and senior Clayton Welch has 10 tackles for loss and five sacks.

Montezuma (6-2, 5-1) at Lynnville-Sully (8-0, 6-0), 7 p.m.

Lynnville-Sully is in the playoffs after New London’s loss to Pekin in Week 8. The Hawks can win their first district title since 2012 with a victory over Montezuma in the regular season finale.

A win would give fifth-ranked L-S its first 9-0 regular season since 1999.

Tenth-ranked Montezuma has won four straight games, including a forfeit win over Danville. Lynnville-Sully took that same forfeit in Week 8.

The Braves have rushed for 1,608 yards as a team, led by Carson Losure’s 488 yards and four TDs. Losure also has 12 catches for 190 yards and three touchdowns.

Quarterback Logan Price has rushed for 441 yards and 11 TDs and thrown for 602 yards and eight touchdowns. Price also leads the defense with 38 tackles and nine tackles for loss.

Jon Wedgewood has 32.5 tackles, nine tackles for loss, four sacks and an interception that was taken back for a score.

Elijah Collins has thrown for 13 touchdowns in the Hawks’ balanced offense, which ranks third in Class A. Sage Zylstra leads the ground game with 688 yards and eight TDs, while Evan Squires has 402 rushing yards and seven TDs. Brevin Hansen and Caden Dunsbergen have combined for 11 receiving touchdowns.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense has 19 sacks and four interceptions on the season. Ryan Hofer leads the defense with 48 tackles, eight tackles for loss and one sack, Kemper Lukehart has 28 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and three sacks and Zylstra and Corey McCoy lead the team with five sacks apiece.

Montezuma’s lone district loss came against New London. The Tigers won that game 28-22, but L-S defeated New London 17-14 in Week 7.

CMB (3-5, 3-3) at South Hardin (3-5, 2-4), 7 p.m.

In the final football game in Collins-Maxwell/Baxter history, the Raiders head to Eldora to take on South Hardin in a game that has no playoff implications.

The Tigers have lost three straight games, falling to Dike-New Hartford (23-12), West Marshall (20-13) and Roland-Story (35-6). In those three games, South Hardin gained 194 yards or less.

The Tigers’ defense has allowed yardage in both styles of offense.

The mostly run-oriented Dike-New Hartford got 276 rushing yards from Trent Johnson and Aplington-Parkersburg rushed for 293 yards.

Roland-Story threw for 144 and rushed for 291. East Marshall and West Marshall passed for 271 and 239, respectively.

Kolten Rewoldt has thrown for 435 passing yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. Kevin Rewoldt is the leading the receivers with 11 catches, 174 yards and three TDs. Jeff Thompson has a team-high 562 yards and six TDs. The South Hardin defense is led by Dane Butler, who has 90 tackles.

Blake Coughenour is the Raiders’ most productive offensive player.

He ranks fifth in 2A in rushing with 1,084 yards and 12 touchdowns, and he also has 19 catches, 244 yards and three TDs. Tucker Maxwell leads the wide receivers with 27 catches, 360 yards and five touchdowns. He also has two in-

CMB broke a 5-all tie with three straight points. Wesselink’s kill gave the Raiders a 10-6 lead, but Roland-Story rallied to tie it at 10-all. It was tied again at 11, 13 and 14 until the Norse rattled off four consecutive points to take the lead.

CMB battled back to tie the set at 20- and 21-all. Geise finally put the game away with back-to-back kills.

The Raiders got off to a slow start in the fourth and final set. Roland-Story jumped out to a 5-1 lead and never looked back. Three straight aces by Geise put the Norse up 10-3, and CMB never got closer than seven the rest of the way.

“I don’t have an answer for what happened in the fourth match,” Ranck said. “We just didn’t play well.”

The Raiders ended their season at 13-12. The 13 wins is the most for the program in eight years.

CMB knew its fate as a program midway through the season. Ranck liked how his team handled a tough situation.

“I was very proud of all the kids. It was a tough year with a lot of distractions, and they stayed focused for the most part all season,” Ranck said.

“The coaches were very proud of what they accomplished this year. We are honored to be able to coach them.”

Bane finished with 24 kills and six digs, while Wesselink added 17 kills and six digs.

Senior setter Kathleen Baldwin recorded a double-double, finishing with 33 assists and 10 digs while also collecting four kills and two aces. Baldwin surpassed 1,000 career assists in the loss.

Senior Bekah Pearson had 25 digs, while junior Sailor Hinegardner chipped in 21 digs.

The CMB defense is led by Jason Hillgren, who has 48.5 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and four sacks.

Colfax-Mingo (1-7, 1-5) at Gladbrook-Reinbeck (8-0, 6-0), 7 p.m.

This game features two of the top passers in Class A when it comes to yardage.

Colfax-Mingo’s Reegan Van Dyke is sixth in passing yards with 1,073 yards, while Gladbrook-Reinbeck junior Hunter Lott is seventh with 1,026 yards.

Lott also is tied for third with 11 passing TDs, and he’s rushed for 269 yards and three scores.

The second-ranked Rebels have wrapped up the District 5 title after outscoring opponents 265-32 in league games.

Five Rebels have rushed for at least 117 yards, led by Parker Bown’s 390 yards and eight TDs and Josh Peterson’s 318 yards and six touchdowns.

Thomas Mussig leads the defense with 54.5 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and one sack.

Eric Knaack and Walker Thede do a little bit of everything for the Rebels.

Knaack has 20.5 tackles, two interceptions, three fumble recoveries and two defensive TDs, while also returning a punt for a TD. Thede has three receiving scores, three punt returns for touchdowns and also returned a kick for a score.

Van Dyke has connected with eight different receivers for Colfax-Mingo.

Senior Adam Teed leads the defense with 54.5 tackles, six tackles for loss and two sacks, while senior Jimmy Camp has 42 tackles. Camp’s 17 tackles for loss ranks tied for first in Class A. Contact Troy Hyde at 641-792-3121 ext. 6536 or thyde@newtondailynews.com

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Megan Pressgrove sets the ball for a teammate during Wednesday night’s Class 4A regional match at Grinnell. Newton lost to Grinnell to end the season.

Volleyball Continued from Page 1B The Cardinals pushed out to an 11-7 lead in the first set of Wednesday’s match after a three-point service run by senior Megan Pressgrove and a two-point service stint by junior Carter Lee. Newton held on to its lead, 20-17.

Grinnell roared back to take a 24-22 lead but the Cardinals took the next point defensively. With senior Morgan Allen serving, the Cardinals tied the set up at 24-24. Grinnell used a defensive play to score the go-ahead point and get service back. The Tigers got an ace serve to win the first set 26-24.

The first set play defined the tone of the match — a tooth-and-nail battle for each point. Newton was able to gain the lead in the second set and keep it. It was 21-18 when junior Lucy Lilienthal had a defensive kill for Newton.

Grinnell scored three straight points to tie the set at 22-22, but senior Taylor Shipley delivered a kill for the Cardinals. Shipley served up the final two points to give Newton a 25-22 win and knot the match at 1-1.

The Tigers gained the upper hand in the Set No. 3 holding off the Cardinals each time they threatened to take the lead. Grinnell won 25-20.

Allen served up two points for Newton to push ahead 6-3 in the fourth set. The Cardi-

nals had a 13-10 lead after a three-point serving run by senior Ryanne Rausch. That was countered by a five-point serving stint by Kiana Kies to put Grinnell up 16-13.

The Cardinals came back to take a 20-19 lead as Pressgrove was serving. Grinnell took a timeout and Pressgrove’s next serve was long. The set was locked at 20-all. The Tigers got up 23-21 and the Cardinals held them off to tie the set.

Our kids have shown they are ready to play hard to win Friday and finish the season strong.”

Newton’s bread-and-butter offensively is the running attack with seniors Jordan Norvell and Reese Rosenquist leading the way along with junior Jaron Roush and sophomore Josh Miller.

Quarterback Garrett Sturtz is a dual threat — running and throwing the ball. The junior quarterback’s 51-yard run set up the Cardinals’ touchdown against Valley last Friday.

The Newton defense will get senior linebacker Brady Smith back this week, coming off an ankle injury. Junior Zach Combs, who went out early in the Valley game with an injury, is cleared to play this week also.

Smith and Rosenquist are the team’s top tacklers out of linebacker spots and Combs is one of the top defenders as a safety. Combs is also the Cardinals’ starting placekicker.

Ergenbright said sophomore Ben Peterson will be able to play, giving the Cardinals depth along the defensive line. Junior running back Josh Miravalles was not cleared to play this week after suffering a concussion in the second half of last week’s game.

Raiders owner Mark Davis makes pitch to NFL owners

AP photo Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras tags out Los Angeles Dodgers’ Adrian Gonzalez at home during the second inning of Game 4 of the National League Championship Series Wednesday in Los Angeles. Gonzalez tried to score from second on a hit by Andrew Toles.

Cubs homer twice in win over Dodgers; tie NLCS 2-2 ​LOS ANGELES (AP) — After striking out in his first two atbats, Anthony Rizzo was seeking a slump buster. He found one in teammate Matt Szczur’s bat.

Using the borrowed lumber, Rizzo homered and ended a postseason skid with three RBIs. The rest of the Chicago Cubs’ hitters broke out equally as big in routing the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-2 on Wednesday to even the NL Championship Series at 2-all.

“I know Szczur’s bat has a lot of hits in it,” Rizzo said. “I’ve done it a few times this year, just switching up the bat, switching up the mindset.”

Addison Russell’s two-run homer highlighted a four-run fourth that stopped Chicago’s 21-inning scoreless streak and ensured the NLCS will return to Wrigley Field for Game 6 on Saturday.

“It’s definitely a sigh of relief to have a big night,” Russell said.

Kenta Maeda is set to pitch for the Dodgers in Game 5 on Thursday against Jon Lester.

Manager Dave Roberts said he will not start Clayton Kershaw on short rest after the Los Angeles ace threw a bullpen session Wednesday.

“It’s not an elimination game,” Roberts said.

Following consecutive shutout losses, the Cubs rapped out 13 hits on an 80-degree night with the warm Santa Ana winds fluttering the flags in center field.

Rizzo used Szczur’s bat on Tuesday night and got a broken-bat single. Szczur, left off the NLCS roster, didn’t mind. He wrapped another one for Game 4, figuring Rizzo might want

to use the bat that is the same weight and size but a different model than his.

“I just saw him walking up with my bat, and I started laughing,” Szczur said. “And then he hits a homer with it.”

Rizzo and Russell had three hits each. Chicago’s 3-4-5 hitters — a combined 2-for-32 in the first three games — busted out.

Every Cubs starter got at least one hit except Kris Bryant, who walked twice and was hit by a pitch.

“It’s contagious, just like the lack of it is contagious,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

“When you start hitting, it’s contagious, defense, this whole game really follows itself.”

Los Angeles was limited to six hits and made four errors in a game that dragged on for 3 hours, 58 minutes.

“It happens, but we haven’t had a game like that in a long time,” Roberts said . “You’ve got to brush off and get ready for tomorrow.”

Mike Montgomery won in relief of John Lackey, removed after consecutive walks opening the fifth. Four days shy of his 38th birthday, Lackey allowed two runs, three hits and three walks.

At 20 years, 68 days the youngest postseason starting pitcher in major league history, loser Julio Urias gave up four runs and four hits in 3 2/3 innings. He was the third consecutive left-hander to start for Los Angeles.

Chicago rattled off three straight hits to open the fourth, sparked by Ben Zobrist’s leadoff bunt single to third.

He took second on Javier Baez’s single to left, and Willson Contreras followed with a single to nearly the same spot in shallow left, scoring Zobrist.

Baez moved to third and Contreras took second on left fielder Andrew Toles’ errant throw to the plate that skidded all the way to the backstop.

Jason Heyward hit a run-scoring groundout , and Russell followed with his first extra-base hit since Sept. 30 and his first homer since Sept. 19. He jubilantly pumped an arm as he rounded the bases on his two-run drive, which put the Cubs ahead 4-0.

Rizzo homered off Pedro Baez leading off the fifth, snapping his 0-for-11 skid in the series. Rizzo had entered 2-for-26 in the postseason.

Los Angeles closed to 5-2 in the fifth. With the bases loaded and one out, Justin Turner’s likely double-play grounder caromed off Montgomery’s glove and Russell, who scrambled on all fours at shortstop as the ball went into left-center field for a two-run single.

Chicago tacked on five runs in the sixth off relievers Ross Stripling and Luis Avilan. Dexter Fowler singled in the first run, Rizzo added two more on a bases-loaded single and Javier Baez hit a sacrifice fly, with a second run scoring on an error by center fielder Joc Pederson.

By then, attention started turning to Thursday.

“It’s about confidence,” Maddon said, “and I want to believe they’re going to show up tomorrow with a lot more confidence than they showed up with today.”

Indians close out Toronto, advance to World Series after win over Jays TORONTO (AP) — For the Cleveland Indians, the script was the same every game — hope for the best from whoever they started, then count on Andrew Miller and the bullpen to close it out.

That plan seemed especially dicey in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series, with lightly used Ryan Merritt on the mound.

But out of nowhere, the rookie delivered.

Merritt coolly kept the Indians ahead until reinforcements arrived, and Cleveland earned its first trip to the World Series since 1997 by blanking the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 Wednesday.

The 24-year-old lefty defied expectations, shutting down the powerful Blue Jays before exiting in the fifth inning. Thanks to a most unlikely pitching performance, a most unexpected team won the ALCS 4-1.

team will try to augment what’s already been a scintillating year in Cleveland after LeBron James and the Cavaliers earned the city’s first major pro sports championship since 1964.

The Indians’ title drought dates to 1948. In 1997, they let a one-run lead get away in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 7 and lost to the Florida Marlins in the 11th.

“We always said if we could do it with this group it would be so special because this is as close to a family feel as you can get in a professional setting. So for that part of it, it is beyond feeling good,” Francona said.

Miller, acquired from the New York Yankees in a midseason trade, was selected the ALCS MVP as the Indians took their sixth pennant.

“I feel like I’ve said the word ‘special’ a million times in the last 20 or 30 minutes. But it’s the truth. It’s a blast to be a part of,” Miller said.

HOUSTON (AP) — His eyes on Las Vegas, Raiders owner Mark Davis says he hasn’t shut the door on anything.

Oakland, though, might have shut the door on itself as home for his team.

“Oakland was in the driver’s seat if they could’ve put together anything,” Davis said Wednesday at the NFL’s fall meetings, after updating his fellow owners on his desire to relocate to the gambling capital. “They came up with nothing.

“Las Vegas has already done what it is supposed to do and we have to bring it up to the National Football League and get permission to move to Las Vegas.”

Nevada lawmakers approved a deal last week that increases hotel taxes in the Las Vegas area to raise $750 million for a stadium and more than $400 million to expand and upgrade the Las Vegas Convention Center. Billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson is putting $650 million toward the project, while the Raiders and the NFL will kick in $500 million.

Commissioner Roger Goodell also said the NFL is looking into establishing a developmental league; re-examining the rules for onfield player celebrations; and reopening the labor agreement. He said the league is monitoring declining TV ratings, too.

Several owners insisted it’s far too early to reach any conclusions in the Raiders’ relocation issue, and none of them wanted to touch the relationship an NFL team might have with a casino mogul.

Goodell supported Davis’ assertion there has been no movement toward keeping the franchise in the Bay Area, saying “we have been working to see if there are alternatives and we don’t have one” in Oakland.

“If Oakland is going to be successful in offering the Raiders and the NFL a viable alternative to moving to Las Vegas, I have to stay clearheaded,” said Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf. “I cannot afford for us to be thrown off our game because Nevada lawmakers have deemed it appropriate to put $750 million in public money towards a private sports facility. While I’m committed to keeping the Raiders, I will not enter into a bidding war with Nevada using public funds.”

Any relocation needs approval from threefourths of the 32 NFL owners. There’s also the potential for the Raiders to join the Rams in Los Angeles, where a new facility is being built; they would have that option should the Chargers, who have the first option, remain in San Diego, a decision that team must make by mid-January.

But those scenarios also have the possibility of being put on hold — the Chargers could request a delay, something the owners also would need to vote on.

Davis also said he believes having a new stadium ready in Las Vegas by 2019 “would be really quick.” He acknowledged the Raiders could play a preseason game as soon as next summer in the existing Sam Boyd Stadium, but that facility isn’t anywhere near up to NFL standards for regular-season games.

Besides, Davis plans to play the next two years in Oakland because the team has a lease with two one-year options there. He cited “stability” for the players and front office, insisting he doesn’t envision a “scorched earth policy” from the fans.

Houston Texans owner Robert McNair noted he was impressed with all the work done in Las Vegas.

“I’m pleased they’ve made as much progress as they have,” he said.

“We’ll look at it when it is finally presented in total. These things are still so fluid until they nail everything down we don’t know what we’re looking at. We’ll wait until we have a full package.”

Also: — As part of its “2020 Plan,” Goodell said he’s “particularly interested” in creating a developmental league. The NFL has not had one since NFL Europe went out of business in 2007, leaving only the CFL and some indoor leagues as places to nurture prospects.

“We’ve talked about it, and ... that is something we might want to do,” Goodell said. “Teams pick up 300 to 400 players on average from the beginning of the season to the end. Having them ready to play” would be helpful.

— Recognizing that many fans disagree with the strict rules about player celebrations, Goodell said that the powerful competition committee looks into that topic every year.

“It comes to balancing a lot of issues and keeping the professional standards we want to hold. It’s part of being a professional.”

— While praising the labor agreement with the union that extends into early 2021, Goodell said the league frequently has spoken with the NFL Players Association “about various aspects of the CBA and how to improve it. We believe that ultimately would be a good thing and we’ve shared ideas with the union.”

“We’re seeing what we structured five years ago working very well for all parties. It’s leading to a safer game. We think it’s leading to more longterm investments in the communities and stadiums ... and it has obviously led to increases in compensation,” Goodell added.

— Asked about declining TV ratings, Goodell mentioned that two of the lowest-rated games were up against presidential debates. He also took note of fragmented audiences that are an issue throughout television, and added he doesn’t see player protests during the national anthem as “a factor” in diminished ratings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You value family. You value family to such an extent that you feel the impetus to raise and teach relatives who aren’t your children. Today is perfect for taking care of parents or another extension of your clan.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your love is not blind as love tends to be. You even may worry that it’s a little too filled with visions today. You see close and intimately, and you see a distant future, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

How in the world will you get ahead? List it. Think about it.

Fantasize about it. Flesh it out in your mind. And then just know that in the pursuit of an ambition, many sacrifices will happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll be told what to do.

Having your work cut out for you is actually a good thing -much better than having your work uncut and trying to figure out what you’re supposed to do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You won’t mind working long, though it’s a little better if the work is not so difficult.

Furthermore, who depends on you? Who is waiting for you at the other end? These things

will make a difference.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Even though you’ve a full schedule, you’re on the quest for delight and amusement.

Friendships are your wealth.

When you really like someone, you’ll celebrate every one of their small victories and accomplishments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When you live in a world where every computer and phone has a camera and you never know what it’s capturing, is there any privacy, really? Probably not, so it’s particularly lucky today that you’re doing the right thing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You will influence others without thinking, persuade them

without talking and comfort them without putting yourself out in the least. This is the magic of your cosmic gift.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Here’s what it will take to get clarity on the situation.

First, you’ll have to disassociate yourself from your current point of view: Pretend you’re not you, and try out a detached, emotionless vantage. Next, you’ll see.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When loved ones shut you down, it’s something to pay attention to, especially the how and why of it. The one who tries to keep you from your happiness is also threatened by your power.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Every little thing you do is magic! At least the rest of the world sees it this way, though your tendency to be hard on yourself obscures your own vision.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Some say a life without reflection is a waste. Others claim being too conscious of oneself messes up what would otherwise be beautiful living. Split the difference. Think, but don’t over-think.

by Hub Arkush

Raiders going nowhere fast

To hear Mark Davis tell it, Las Vegas residents should already be planning their housewarming party for the Oakland, soon-to-be Las Vegas, Raiders.

The Way We Hear It, not so fast my friends.

When Nevada’s Republican governor Brian Sandoval signed a bill last Monday approving a $750 million tax plan to build a new multiuse stadium in Las Vegas for the Raiders to play in, Davis responded as if the fix was in, groundbreaking is imminent and the Raiders are on the move.

We assume the Raiders’ fledgling owner knows better than that.

Davis’ first order of business to eventually move his team anywhere was to go to Houston this past Tuesday and Wednesday and give his fellow owners an update on the stadium situations in Oakland and Las Vegas. An update, that’s it.

He is not in a position to request permission to move until he formally files a request, which will presumably happen in January.

Davis will then need the approval of at least 23 of his fellow owners to make the move, and it is assumed that vote wouldn’t even be held until the winter meetings in March.

In the meantime, we hear that Davis finding 23 votes to approve a move to Vegas is nowhere near a sure thing, and that is not even the only bridge he has left to cross.

On Nov. 8, the citizens of San Diego will cast ballots on Proposition C, which would generate the tax dollars necessary to build a new stadium for the Chargers.

If the referendum were defeated, the Chargers would then almost certainly be forced to move to Los Angeles to share the future Kroenke palace with the Rams.

If the Chargers get their new home in San Diego though, the Raiders have already been approved for a move to Los Angeles, one that would be much less expensive for them and potentially more lucrative.

According to multiple sources, Davis has given up interest in L.A. and is much more focused on getting to Vegas, but few can figure out why.

The Raiders currently play in the country’s sixth biggest market combining Oakland and San Francisco in the Bay Area.

Los Angeles is the nation’s second-biggest market while Vegas is 40th, ranking ahead of only Jacksonville (47), New Orleans (50), Buffalo (53) and Green Bay (68) among NFL cities.

Why would a savvy businessman want to

Mark Davis AP PHOTO

pass on the second- and sixth-biggest markets for the 40th?

Next up, a number of his fellow owners are sensitive to the imaging problems the league is already facing for allowing the Rams to leave St. Louis in spite of the city’s best efforts to keep its team, and that becomes even more problematic if the Chargers head north for L.A. Some owners would much rather see Davis focus on finding a way to build a new home in Oakland rather than deserting a third fan base in 12 months.

We also have a number of sources telling us that a lot more than a few NFL owners simply have their doubts as to how good a businessman Davis is and how far they should trust him.

We’re hearing some owners are concerned that Davis is in over his head with Vegas and Nevada politicians, and billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who will contribute approximately $650 million to the stadium project and retain substantial operating control.

Finally, there is the 10-ton gorilla in the room. The NFL has invested tens of millions of dollars, decades of lobbying and political maneuvering and called in practically every political favor it has to battle the evils of gambling and more specifically legalized sports betting.

To now reward the only state in the country where sports betting – the biggest chunk of which is betting on NFL games – with its own NFL team would be a stunning departure from the NFL’s core principles.

It would also make it seemingly impossible for the NFL to continue to battle the expansion of legalized sports betting across the country and, the Way We Hear It, that is not a battle a number of the current owners are prepared to abandon.

It only takes nine owners to thwart a move of the Raiders, or for that matter any NFL team, and it is not only possible but likely that at least at the moment, there are more than that ready to say no to Vegas.
