American Legion focusing on outreach Members hope to connect with local troops stationed overseas

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer It used to be a common thing to see a yellow ribbon tied around a tree during war t i m e .

The ribbon was used to symbolize that either someone Chartier from the house near the tree or a person close to one of the occupants was overseas serving his or her country.

As more controversial conflicts occurred, many began to break away from this tradition.

However, the downside to moving away from this practice is it creates a lack of community awareness for residents that are stationed overseas, which is an issue one local veterans organization wants to remedy.

“The (Newton) American Legion established a committee for community involvement and outreach. The committee itself wants to

turn some of that focus toward people that are still in the service,” said Chris Chartier, a member of the committee.

Instead of tying ribbons around trees, the committee is asking for contact information for any serviceman or servicewoman who will be overseas during Christmas. It also wants information for those families in order to help provide a base of support for them as well.

“Truthfully, we have no way or means to track people that are overseas that are out of this county,” Chartier said.

“If you look back to the days of World War II, there were news briefings every day or every week.

The paper had a log in it about people overseas constantly, and now, we have nothing like that.”

Chartier said the committee is hoping that by reaching out to those serving outside the U.S., they can accomplish several things.

The first would be to see what kind of items those soldiers need. This way, instead of just sending

Lieutenant Patrick Richardson of the Newton Police Department posthumously received the Iowa Law Enforcem e n t Purple Heart Award Wednesday at Richardson the inaugural Iowa Law Enforcement Purple Heart Award ceremony at the 82nd Annual Iowa State Police Association Conference in Ames.

Richardson’s family accepted the award from ISPA President Eric Snyder and ISPA past President, former

Newton Police Officer Rob Burdess.

“It’s an award that no officer wants to be awarded, but it just goes to show the dedication Lt. Pat Richardson gave to the department and to the city as well as all of the other police officers across the state.

They are willing to put their lives on the line and protect the citizens,” Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich said. “It is a danger we understand is out there, but we accept that because it is needed to help the community. It is a sad time, but it is a great honor that citizens of our community as well as the state of Iowa can remember Lt. Pat Richardson as a hero.”

Local Agriculture

In Brief

Harvest well behind average, Northey says Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa crop progress and condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Heavy rains across the southeastern twothirds of Iowa early last week kept farmers out of the fields for several days and as a result we remain well behind the five-year average with only 19 percent of corn and 61 percent of soybeans harvested,” Northey said.

“The dry weather the last several days has been very helpful and farmers will be working long hours to get the crop in when conditions allow.”

Fieldwork stalled early in the week due to rain, but farmers were able to harvest during the rest of the week ending Oct. 19.

Overall there were 4.2 days suitable for fieldwork. Most farmers reported harvesting

soybeans while waiting for corn to dry down in the fields. Activities for the week included fall tillage, manure and fertilizer application, biomass baling, and hauling grain.

Ninety-six percent of Iowa’s corn acreage was mature, three days behind the five-year average. Corn harvest advanced 9 percentage points to 19 percent complete, 18 days behind the normal pace.

Seventy-four percent of the soybean acreage was in good to excellent condition.

Grain movement from farm to elevator was rated 55 percent moderate to heavy, increasing 8 percentage points from the previous week.

Pasture and hay have had excellent regrowth this fall with plenty of rain and cooler than normal temperatures.

Livestock conditions were reported as ideal.

Ty Rushing/Daily News Since January, 13-year-old Beula Lee has made more than 500 dresses for the Little Dresses for Africa nonprofit organization. What started as a 4-H project has become a passion for the Newton teenager.

Local 4-H members turn community project into full-time cause

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

This summer, 13-year-old Beula Lee earned a red ribbon at the Iowa State Fair for her 4-H community service project.

Lee’s project was turning used pillowcases into unique fashions for the Little Dresses for Africa nonprofit organization.

Lee first heard about the cause from a service at her church, St. Luke Methodist Church in Newton, and thought it would be a great project for 4-H. “I searched for the website, and I looked up the pattern,” Lee said.

Since then, the member of the Jolly Workers 4-H club has donated more than 500 dresses to the organization.

“We’ve been making them since about January, said Marie Hoffman, Lee’s grandmother.

Lee is often assisted on her projects by Hoffman, who taught her how to sew when she was around 9 or 10 years old.

“I do a lot of the cutting for her since she’s left handed,”

Hoffman said. “She takes all the lace, all the ric rac, all the bias tape and she runs all the elastic through. I pin things on for her and she sews.”

The back room of the house on the family’s farm in northeast Newton has become more like a workshop as grandmother and granddaughter team up for a good cause. Rather than just following the pattern and turning blah pillowcases into dresses, Lee likes to spice them up.

She makes each dress unique and uses lace, ric-rac, elastic and old jeans — all donated — to add style and flair. Although pillowcase are her base material, it doesn’t mean the dresses should reflect that, Lee said.

“It’s usually whatever looks good with the pillowcase,” Lee said on how she designs.

Lee spent most of her spare time this summer making the dresses, and cut back a bit since the school year started. However, whenever the Grinnell Middle School student doesn’t have homework or another activity, Lee’s in the backroom with her

grandmother making her white Singer brand sewing machine hum.

To keep her going, Lee is completely reliant upon donations. She’s asking that if anyone has additional sewing materials — such as thread, bias tape, elastic, ric racs, lace etc. — and larger pillowcases, they consider donating them to her.

You can contact her mother, Brenda, to make arrangements at (641) 521-0090 or horsecaregiverof3@gmail.com Little Dress for Africa was founded in 2008, and has grown to have volunteers in every U.S. state. Lee plans on again submitting her project for next year’s state fair. While ribbons are nice, she does this deed for other reasons and Lee has no intention to stop making dresses for this cause anytime soon. “(Knowing) that some little girl will have something to wear,” Lee said about what she enjoys most about this cause.

ICH helping farmers cope with stress this season AMES — Farm life with its country setting often is idealized, but as the complications and pace of agriculture have increased, so have the physical and mental demands on farmers.

The committee’s second hope is to create a two-way dialog with local active personnel. If communication becomes a norm for both parties, people in Jasper County could become more in the loop about local service people, Chartier said.

Chartier, who is a veteran himself, said when he came home for Iraq after his first tour, he read a survey that said 50 percent of Americans couldn’t find the country on a map. He attributes this to lack of awareness and communication.

“When these guys do trickle home, no one knows they were even gone. We are spending all of our effort on people that are already home, but these people are still in danger,” Chartier said.

“They’re somebody’s wife, somebody’s kid, somebody’s dad, somebody’s brother or son that’s overseas right now and they should be acknowledged right now.

They should be taken care of right now.”

There are also hopes among committee members that this type of communication would help ease the adjustment period for troops coming home.

“It makes for a softer transition when these people are coming home. When somebody gets back, they already know there’s a community waiting for them. There are people that do understand what he/she is going through, and they’re giving him/her the opportunity to voice any concerns he/she’s having,” Chartier said.

In recent years, Jasper County — which is home to more than 3,000 veterans — has seen a resurgence in its support of veterans, and Chartier is hoping to parlay that support for this new project.

“Everyone in Jasper County would probably give the shirt off their back for a veteran — imagine what they would do for someone who’s overseas,” Chartier said.

The committee is asking all contact information be submitted by Nov. 1 so it will be able to establish a correspondence with anyone overseas well before Christmas.

To submit information contact the American Legion at (641) 792-3353 or the Jasper County Veterans Affairs Office at (641) 792-7793.

Kate Malott/Daily News The Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve, located a quarter-mile north of the Lynnville exit, off Interstate 80, will be home to the Frozen Halloween Hike hosted by the Jasper County Conservation. To find the preserve, take the Lynnville exit, head north and turn east on Jacob Avenue which leads to the entrance.

Conservation office hosting ‘Frozen’ Halloween hike

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer Friday will be the 10th annual Jasper County Conservation Office Halloween Hike and this year’s event just got even cooler.

The theme is “Jasper Your Friendly Host and his ‘Frozen’ Friends” — and yes, it will feature music from Disney’s hit movie “Frozen.”

“In the past we have had many different animal actors sharing information about themselves, wildlife habitat, water quality and Jasper County parks, among other things. This year we wanted to change things up with more music, and every skit will feature a song from ‘Frozen,’” said Katie Cantu, JCCO naturalist.

“Our characters will also be sharing information about snow, ice and animals getting ready for winter. We have some amazing local talent on our hike this year and we want lots of families to come out and sing along with some of their favorite songs.”

The conservation office has partnered with performers from

Cantu credits her office’s strong relationship with Cindy Healy, a heavily involved volunteer at NCT, for helping organize this event and getting the theater’s talent involved.

“Cindy’s role in this event is crucial to the success we’ve had the past 10 years. Jasper County Conservation staff simply come up with an idea and write the scripts, but Cindy takes those ideas and by the end of October has an amazing hike put together for us. I am not sure what we would do without her,” Cantu said.

While the characters from “Frozen” have become world famous since the film was released, the unique addition to this hike is Jasper.

“This event is for all ages and not scary, and we needed a friendly person to introduce our skits and set the fun and educational tone of the night, so Jasper is the perfect guy.”

Besides the performances, the hike will give kids an opportunity to make popcorn “snowballs,” decorate gourds, roast marshmallows around the fire, find animal tracks using black lights and other unique activities.

The event will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve, which is north of the 179 exit on Interstate 80. It costs $3 per person to attend and kids 3 and under are free. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Keeping Me on My Toes

Sweet dreams

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

Sleep. I never knew how much I actually loved sleep until it was taken away from me. That is how the saying goes, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.

Sleep has been eluding me for approximately three and a half years or since the day my daughter was born.

At first it was cute, waking up at night to feed her and cuddle with her as she snuggled in her jammies. Maternity leave allowed me to sleep in past my 7 a.m. alarm clock, so it wasn’t as noticeable in the beginning. Once I went back to work, though, I felt the affects of the 1, 3 and 5 a.m. feedings. Still being a new mom, I had few complaints and just loved the time with my baby.

It wasn’t until I became pregnant with my second

daughter that sleep became vital but elusive. Going to bed at 8:30 p.m. became the norm but cries in the night still interrupted any lasting snooze time. I felt like I may never have a good night’s sleep again once I had two little ones to care for.

As luck may have it, my youngest was a pro at sleeping. She loved going to bed early, and from the day we brought her home, she slept around six whole hours in a row. Napping was also no problem, it felt like I had hit the jackpot.

For the next few years, sleep came and went, but mostly went. Growth spurts brought on extra feedings during the night, while teething had me sleeping upright in our living room chair. Even when the girls were away for the night,

Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2014 either with their grandparents or on the one vacation my husband and I went on since becoming parents, sleep still doesn’t come easy. It seems my body is trained to stir during the night to check on the two sleeping girls in the next room, even when they aren’t there.

Now that they are getting a little older, I thought we might all start sleeping more.

For the most part, my oldest now sleeps through the night.

It is only on occasion I hear a cry for more juice or that she needs to go potty. That time always seems to coincide with my other daughter waking up for more milk or she wants to cuddle back to sleep. It never fails, as soon as I lay down from getting the milk, I have to walk back downstairs to refill a juice and maybe grab a

midnight snack, which typically goes uneaten. In fact, most of the time the girls are fast asleep before I even return to their room.

I know someday I will get a full night of sleep again.

That is until I have two teenage daughters and I am kept up until they return home from their nightly activities.

I will never wish away any time from the girls so that they will be older because each stage has been new and fun. I just wish I would have appreciated my days of sleeping in until 10 a.m. or getting a full 11 hours under my belt before starting the day.

He was white. All you had to do was look. The statues. The crucifix. The little pictures in our little books.

A l l showed a plainly C a u casian Christ.

T h a t By Marc Dion school is an apartment building now, and the church that stood in front of it is closed, those being the common fates of urban ethnic Catholic schools and churches. It’s the same in Europe. Except there, the churches become museums.

Worldwide, the church fares well. Latin America, despite the inroads made by Protestant evangelicals, is now the demographic heartland of the Catholic Church.

In Africa, the Catholic Church is exploding, as it is in Asia.

But here in America, the scandal-battered old mother church shudders as the divorced question the “fairness” of certain doctrines, as gays rail against the church for being “bigoted” and not “inclusive,” as though the Catholic Church can be expected to hold sensitivity training seminars, the way a paper cup manufacturer does when one of the truck drivers screws up and calls a receptionist, “sweetheart.”

The church is an old firm and more importantly, one that bases itself on huge books of theology, interpretations of God, seekings of God, tiny arguments about tiny differences in doctrine that stretch back 2,000 years. In the 1100s, the same kind of minds that now study theoretical physics studied theology, two sciences aiming at nearly the same end.

But the Catholic Church is Europeanbased or, to put it more

kindly, cannot exist as a worldwide faith if Catholics in Europe and America persist in ignoring the rules.

And the rules will change because geography- savvy men of God will not choose to let the divorced and others remain outside the church doors, not contributing their numbers and their money, not maintaining the seat of the Catholic Church in Europe, not holding its wealthy bastion in America.

That part of the church must be saved, and I believe rules will be changed until that wayward freedom-loving part can be drawn back in, through the doors and into the pews.

Am I being cynical?

No. The Catholic Church is an old survivor and it knows when to give in and wait for the next fight, all the while gathering strength.

Am I one of those lapsed Catholics who delights in tormenting the old faith?

No. Six years ago, I married for the first time.

I married a divorced woman. As a Catholic, I pay a heavy price for that decision, but I never expected the rules to change just for me. I made my decision and I’ll take my punishment silently, which is something I learned from the nuns, all those years ago.

If my punishment is lifted from me in some way, I will be glad and grateful but some part of me will always miss the days of surety, of doctrines that never changed, of white man’s Jesus.

Diversions Verbal abuse at day care cries out for intervention

Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2014

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: I would like to weigh in on your response to “Day Care Drama in Indiana” (Sept. 1), whose neighbor screams at the children in her day care. I worked for 25 years investigating serious complaints, many involving verbal abuse, against day care providers for my state’s licensing agency. It is critical for this reader to contact Indiana’s licensing agency and make a complaint.

Verbal abuse is extremely damaging to young children, and parents are often reluctant to believe their provider would subject their children to such cruelty.

Also, if your reader is hearing screaming, there could easily be hitting taking place as well.

If your reader were to approach the children’s parents individually as you advised, they would likely discount him/her as a “cranky neighbor.” However, if the licensing investigator were to pay a visit and interview the older past and present children, as we do in our state, the provider would be cited — or closed down — and the findings could be presented to the parents by an objective party. — RETIRED BUT CONCERNED DEAR RETIRED BUT CONCERNED: Thank you for correcting me.

Many readers agreed that this situation should be reported immediately to the agency that monitors day care centers. To remain silent and allow the abuse to continue would also be child abuse.

Many also suggested contacting Child Protective Services and afterward following up to make sure this issue has been investigated. If not, the local police should then be notified.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Brenda” for three months. For the most part it has been amazing. I know she’s the woman I want to marry and be with for the rest of my life.

I would do anything for her, which is why I’m having a hard time. We had a great sexual relationship until a week ago, when she decided she wants to wait until

we are married to have sex again. For me, sex is an extremely important part of a relationship. I feel close to Brenda physically and emotionally through sex. Now that she’s refusing, I don’t feel as close to her.

Brenda cites her religious faith and setting an example for her kids as the reasons she now wants to wait. I’m having a hard time understanding her point of view and am looking for guidance from you on coping with the loss of something so valuable to me. Obviously, I am willing to wait until marriage, but how do I deal with this until then? — DISAPPOINTED IN RENO DEAR DISAPPOINTED: If you are confused about your lady friend’s “180,” I think you’re justified. If her religious beliefs prevented her from having sex before marriage, she wouldn’t have jumped the gun — and I’m assuming the two of you weren’t making love in front of her children. Her change in behavior may be an attempt to hasten the date of your wedding.

However, because you no longer feel as close to her, put on the brakes and start premarital counseling. The first subject on the agenda should be a frank discussion about sex and what it means to both of you. It will help you understand each other better before you commit for a lifetime, because three months isn’t very long for a couple to date, and you really don’t know Brenda very well yet.

Iowa man gets 15 years for escaping jail

CEDAR RAPIDS — A Cedar Rapids woman has admitted defrauding clients of her law firm.

Prosecutors say 54-year-old Susan Hense pleaded guilty on Monday in federal court to one count of wire fraud. She faces up to 20 years in prison.

In a plea agreement, Hense admitted that she falsely represented to her firm’s clients that money belonging to them would be held in trust on their behalf in a bank account.

FORT DODGE — An Iowa jail inmate who escaped from the facility in August has been sentenced to 15 more years behind bars. A Webster County judge rejected 43-year-old Jason Sullivan’s request for a suspended sentence on Monday. He pleaded guilty last month to a charge of escaping from custody. Authorities say Sullivan and another man escaped the Fort Dodge jail in August.

Branstad winning cash Parties jockeying for early vote in Iowa, Florida race against Hatch The Associated Press lican Gov. Rick Scott’s retirement of Sen. Tom Republicans.

DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Gov. Terry Branstad is holding a massive cash advantage over Democratic challenger Jack Hatch going into the final days of the race, campaign finance reports filed Monday show.

The reports show Branstad raised $1.3 million between July 15 and Oct. 14. He started the period with more than $4 million and concluded it with $1.3 million in cash.

Hatch started the period with $183,000, raised nearly $880,000 and had about $280,000 left. He and his wife have loaned $140,000 to his campaign.

Hatch stopped airing television advertising in late Sept e m b e r.

S pokesman John Branstad Hedgecoth said the campaign would run ads again before Election Day, but did not offer details on when.

Branstad, 67, is running for his sixth nonconsecutive term. He has held a sizable lead throughout the race, with far more money and support than the 64-year-old Hatch.

DES MOINES — More than 2.3 million Americans already have cast ballots for the November midterm elections, with both Republicans and Democrats saying the early votes are helping sway the election their way.

Republicans in Iowa and Florida, in particular, are celebrating their push for early votes, an electoral strategy the GOP once essentially ceded to Democrats.

Florida leads the early totals, with more than 891,000 early ballots cast.

Republicans account for almost half of those, compared to about 35 percent for Democrats. Repub-

campaign says that gap proves his momentum, even as polls show him trailing Democrat Charlie Crist, himself a former Republican governor who switched parties to seek his old job.

In Iowa, Republicans hope a new focus on early voting will prove vital in the nail-biter Senate race between Republican Joni Ernst, a 44-year-old state lawmaker, and Democrat Bruce Braley, a 56-yearold congressman. The outcome will help determine which major party controls the Senate in January.

Republicans need six more seats for a majority, and picking off the seat being opened by the

Harkin would be a boon.

The state GOP in Iowa has used everything from robo-calls, mailers and door-knocking activists — at a cost of more than $1 million — to encourage early voting.

Through Oct. 19, nearly 200,000 ballots have been cast in Iowa — 42 percent from Democrats and 41 percent from Republicans. The gap was much larger at the same point in 2010, leaving Republicans optimistic in a state that President Barack Obama won twice by competitive margins.

About 365,000 ballots in Iowa have been requested in total. Democrats requested about 11,000 more ballots than

Republican strategist David Kochel, who is managing direct mail for the effort, said Obama’s win in 2012 forced the party to “learn lessons.”

The key question, though, is whether the efforts from both sides generate new votes or simply get reliable voters to the polls early.

Braley claims Democrats are doing the better job of “finding people that wouldn’t have shown up to vote.” Aides at Democratic national campaign offices said party data suggests their new midterm voters — those who didn’t vote in 2010 — outnumber new Republican midterm voters by a significant margin.

Daily News Rest or rust? Royals, Giants set for World Series

By Ben Walker AP Baseball Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Alex Gordon took a big rip at a batting-practice fastball, fouled it off badly into the cage, and ducked when the carom nearly hit him in the head.

Gordon let out a huge laugh, and so did a bunch of his Kansas City Royals teammates watching Monday’s workout.

“I can’t believe that just happened, dude,” pitcher James Shields razzed.

It’ll be more frustrating than funny if those are the same awkward swings the Royals and San Francisco Giants take once the World Series begins.

Going into Game 1 on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium, both teams will deal with a familiar issue this deep in the postseason: Does an extended layoff translate into rest or rust?

Buster Posey and the Giants zipped through the playoffs, and now will try for their third title in five years. Lorenzo Cain and the Royals zoomed along, reaching the Series for the first time since 1985.

And then, they all got some time off. Almost an eternity, by October standards.

The Royals went 8-0 in the AL playoffs, giving them five idle days before Shields starts the opener.

San Francisco went 8-2 on the NL side and had four days to relax before Madison Bumgarner pitches.

“It’s definitely different because we have played so many games over the last 7 1/2, eight months.

But you just understand it’s one of those things,” Posey said.

As recent history has shown, hitters can be very vulnerable when they get out of rhythm.

“It affects a bit with your timing, especially when trying to adjust to pitchers,” Kansas City second baseman Omar Infante said. “It’s hard to recover that groove you have.”

The slightly favored Giants and Royals held practices, studied video and checked out scouting reports. But as several teams that stumbled in the World Series after long breaks discovered, nothing can duplicate playing a real game.

Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera and De-

troit got nearly a week off in 2012, then the Tigers hit a combined .159 and totaled six runs in getting swept by the Giants.

Troy Tulowitzki and the Colorado Rockies rushed into the 2007 World Series, waited a week and got outscored 29-10 in Boston’s sweep.

A year earlier, Magglio Ordonez and the Tigers looked so powerful in the playoffs, but fell apart a week later and hit only .199 in a five-game loss to St. Louis.

Infante played on both of those Detroit teams that got wiped out. He actually excelled in 2012, hitting .333.

“It’s a short series, you need some luck. We lost four in a row and they were coming from playing seven. In this series, I think both teams are even,” he said.

Royals reserve Raul Ibanez, who’s enjoyed postseason success in the past, said “determination and will” carry players in the fall. Yet the timing and confidence that lifts them for so long can be lost in

a hurry.

All of a sudden, a ball that might’ve been a solid double becomes a soft fly.

A line drive up the middle turns into a foul ball Shields straight back. A Bumgarner big hit winds up a great catch.

Just like that, a magical touch is missing, and can’t be recaptured until it’s too late.

Royals catcher Salvador Perez hooted at himself after a popup and an easy grounder in BP on Monday, and changed bats for his next round. He homered on his final swing.

“When you’ve been playing for seven or eight months, it’s nice to have an off day every now and then. But when you do have those workout days where you just go in and hit BP and take grounders and stuff, you try to keep it as much like game day as possible,” Giants first baseman Brandon Belt said.

Royals designated hitter Billy Butler said he didn’t see the five-day break being a detriment.

“Hey, they’ve had four days off. That’s the way you look at it. They played one day later than we have — they’ve had a layoff, too,” he said.

“I don’t know if it’ll play any factor. It definitely won’t be the reason if we go out there and don’t win tomorrow,” Butler said.

Shields and Bumgarner seemed unconcerned.

This will be Shields’ first start since Oct. 10 in the AL Championship Series opener against Baltimore.

“I think this late in the year almost too much throwing is too much,” he said. “So I’ve just kind of rested my body up for tomorrow.”

Bumgarner has already thrown 249 innings this year, including four postseason outings. He was the NLCS MVP, and started last Thursday when the Giants closed out St. Louis.

“Honestly, I feel the best I’ve felt all year for the last probably two months,” the lefty said.

Cardinal JV ends season

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor BONDURANT — Falling behind 16-0 after three quarters, Newton High’s junior varsity Cardinals scored twice in the fourth period. Down 23-16 late in the game, they were driving for a possible tying score when Bondurant-Farrar’s BlueJays intercepted a pass to thwart the Cardinal comeback.

Newton’s junior varsity lost its final game of the season, 2316, to Bondurant-Farrar Monday night. It ended with a 1-7 record.

“We really played a good game. Our offensive line had its best performance of the year along with good defensive stops really gave us the opportunity to win,” said Tom Weeks, NHS assistant coach.

The Cardinals halted the BlueJays’ opening drive when Jake Bennett intercepted a pass at the goal line and returned it 19 yards. Newton moved to the Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News BlueJay 18-yard line where Josh Josh Gulling (3) has done all the punting and placekicking duties for the Newton High junior var- Gulling’s 35-yard field goal atsity team this season. The Cardinal junior varsity concluded its season Monday with a 23-16 loss at tempt was ruled a miss.

Bondurant-Farrar.

Newton turned the ball over

twice in its own territory giving Bondurant-Farrar short fields and the BlueJays took advantage. The Jays were up 13-0 at halftime. The Cardinals gave up a field goal in the third quarter.

The Cardinal offense got to work in the fourth quarter, scoring on a one-yard run by Justice Borger, who also ran in the twopoint conversion.

Bondurant-Farrar answered on one offensive play — a 56yard touchdown run. The Cardinals responded with a scoring drive capped by a 21-yard touchdown run by Bennett.

Borger tacked on the two-point conversion with 5:20 left.

Newton’s defense held and the Cardinals got the ball back.

They moved right down field with an opportunity to tie or win. But, an interception halted the drive.

Newton had a balance running attack with four different backs all rushing for at least 40 yards. Borger was the leading rusher with seven carries for 49 yards.

SEC is first to put four in top 5 of AP poll

By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer The Southeastern Conference has reached a new milestone in The Associated Press college football poll, becoming the first league to place four teams in the top five — all from the western division.

Mississippi State stayed No. 1 after a weekend off. The Atlantic Coast Conference’s Florida State held its ground at No. 2 after beating then-No. 5 Notre Dame 31-27.

Mississippi remains No. 3. Alabama jumped three spots to No. 4 after a 59-0 victory against Texas A&M. Auburn moved up a spot to No. 5 during a bye week, taking advantage of losses by previously unbeaten Notre Dame and Baylor.

The Irish dropped two spots to seventh. Baylor fell to No. 12 after losing 41-27 at West Virginia.

Thirty times since 2001 a conference has placed three teams in the top five of the AP Top 25. The SEC had done it 16 times since 2009.

World Series: How the Giants and Royals match up Edge: Giants.

By Mike Fitzpatrick AP Sports Writer A position-by-position look at the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals going into the World Series, starting Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium: First Base: Giants: Brandon Belt. After missing 96 games this year because of a broken thumb and concussion, Belt had the big hit that decided the longest postseason game in major league history. His 18th-inning homer sent San Francisco to a Game 2 win at Washington in the NL Division Series. He gives a good at-bat and provides some pop from the left side of the plate. Steady defense, too.

Royals: Eric Hosmer. Drafted third overall in 2008, Hosmer is talented but inconsistent so far. The 24-year-old cleanup hitter certainly has taken to October baseball, batting .448 in the playoffs with a crucial triple, eight RBIs and two homers, including an extra-inning shot against the Angels. A key piece of Kansas City’s rebuilding project, Hosmer has developed into a vocal cheerleader. The life of the party — with a Gold Glove on his mantel.

Edge: Royals.

Second Base: Giants: Joe Panik. The 23-year-old rookie rescued San Francisco at second base this season in the absence of injured Marco Scutaro, a 2012 postseason star. Panik’s strength is a short, compact swing that produces consistently solid contact. The line-drive hitter batted .305 with one home run this year, then went deep in the NLCS against St. Louis. When he’s under pressure, it seems Panik never does.

Royals: Omar Infante. Signed to a $30.25 million, four-year contract before the season, Infante was brought in to be a veteran solution at a trouble spot for Kansas City. The 2010 All-Star can handle the bat, and his playoff experience is a plus. Infante went 5 for 15 (.333) in the World Series for the Tigers two years ago, when they were swept by San Francisco.

Edge: Even.

Shortstop: Giants: Brandon Crawford. A player on the rise, Crawford is blossoming into more than just a slick fielder. He had 10 triples this season and became the first shortstop in history to hit a postseason grand slam when he connected in the NL wild-card game at Pittsburgh.

Royals: Alcides Escobar. Acquired when the Royals traded ace Zack Greinke to Milwaukee in a fruitful deal, Escobar is wiry and athletic with excellent range at shortstop. His bat is coming around, too, enough to land him in the leadoff spot for a Royals team that loves to run. He was 31 for 37 on stolen bases.

Edge: Royals.

Third Base: Giants: Pablo Sandoval. The popular Kung Fu Panda, a switch-hitting cleanup man, is more dangerous from the left side of the plate. He’s been at his best in October, reaching base safely in a team-record 23 straight postseason games while batting .375 with six homers and 14 RBIs during that span. He hit three homers in the 2012 World Series opener on the way to MVP honors.

Another clutch performance could help him cash in as a free agent this fall.

Royals: Mike Moustakas. Drafted second overall in 2007, “Moose” has yet to live up to lofty expectations.

But he and Hosmer form the Kansas City cornerstones at the corners of the diamond, and both have delivered in their first trip to the postseason. After a brief demotion to the minors this year, Moustakas rediscovered his power stroke with four playoff homers — two in extra innings.

He also made two spectacular defensive plays in one ALCS game against Baltimore.

Edge: Giants.

Catcher: Giants: Buster Posey. Perhaps the closest thing to Derek Jeter the West Coast has to offer, Posey is chasing his third championship in five full seasons. Just about everything he does on the field comes right out of a textbook, and he’s already won awards for NL Rookie of the Year (2010) and NL MVP (2012). The Royals’ running game presents a challenge, though.

Royals: Salvador Perez. A two-time All-Star with a Gold Glove by age 24, Perez is already a respected backstop who adds thump to the lineup and keeps the clubhouse loose. He batted only .118 during the playoffs without an extra-base hit, but his 12th-inning single won an AL wildcard thriller against Oakland. One thing to watch: Perez is big for a catcher, and he keeps getting dinged in the head with backswings.

Left Field: Giants: Travis Ishikawa. The most unlikely star of this postseason, Ishikawa sent the Giants to the World Series with the first home run to end an NLCS in Game 5 against St. Louis. He batted .385 with seven RBIs in the series after beginning the season as Pittsburgh’s opening-day first baseman. A true journeyman, Ishikawa was a parttime role player on San Francisco’s title team in 2010.

Now he’s back, carving out a spot in left field while Michael Morse was injured.

Royals: Alex Gordon. Drafted second overall in 2005 out of Nebraska, Gordon is probably the nearest Kansas City gets to having an MVP contender. The converted third baseman has three Gold Gloves, and his brilliant defense was on full display in the ALCS. A two-time All-Star, Gordon had a team-high nine RBIs in eight playoff games.

Edge: Royals.

Center Field: Giants: Gregor Blanco. Filling in for injured Angel Pagan, Blanco is a fine defender who has struggled offensively in the leadoff spot. Following a pretty solid season, he went 7 for 44 (.159) in the playoffs with one extra-base hit. He does have a sharp eye, though.

Royals: Lorenzo Cain. A smooth glider in the outfield, Cain batted .301 with 28 steals this season and is just beginning to tap into his prodigious talent. He made a string of sensational playoff catches and hit .533 with five runs during the ALCS to earn MVP honors. Not bad for a guy who didn’t even know the rules or how to hold a bat when he first turned out for organized baseball as a sophomore in high school. Kansas City obtained him in the same trade that brought Escobar.

Edge: Royals.

Right Field: Giants: Hunter Pence. The durable Pence gets plenty of attention for his odd style and quirky ways, but don’t forget how good a player he is. Pence signed a $90 million, five-year contract last offseason to stay with San Francisco and made his third All-Star team. A health nut and vocal leader for the tried-and-tested Giants, he has played in 383 consecutive games.

Royals: Nori Aoki. A pesky contact hitter, Aoki has a .353 on-base percentage in three major league seasons since arriving from Japan. He was acquired last December in a trade with Milwaukee and can become a free agent after the World Series. Not much power this season, but he can still run and play defense.

Edge: Giants.

Designated Hitter: Giants: Michael Morse. In his first season with San Francisco, Morse got off to a strong start before fading and finished with 16 homers and 61 RBIs. He has only six at-bats since Aug. 31 because of a strained oblique, but he tied the NLCS clincher with a pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning. He offers legitimate right-handed power and seems a good fit for DH in Kansas City.

Royals: Billy Butler. Another first-round draft pick (2004) and homegrown fan favorite, Butler is a righthanded bopper in the middle of the lineup who knows how to knock in runs. His power and slugging numbers were down this season, but the 2012 All-Star remains dangerous. Butler probably will be relegated to the bench under National League rules in San Francisco.

Edge: Royals.

Starting Pitchers: Giants: After riding their splendid rotation to championships in 2010 and 2012, the Giants return this time with a much different group. Madison Bumgarner is now the workhorse ace, supplanting injured Matt Cain and inconsistent Tim Lincecum. Bumgarner, an 18-game winner and the NLCS MVP, gets the ball on regular rest in Game 1 after going 2-1 with a 1.42 ERA in four playoff starts. He’ll try to extend his postseason streak of 26 2-3 scoreless innings on the road, a major league record. The big lefthander has thrown 15 shutout innings in World Series play, winning both his starts while allowing a total of five hits. Hard to believe he’s only 25. The other aging starters may not be asked to go as deep. Fired-up Jake Peavy,

acquired in a late July trade, is back in the World Series after making it with Boston last year. Veteran newcomer Tim Hudson is set to pitch in his first Series at 39. Ryan Vogelsong is 3-0 with a 2.16 ERA in six postseason outings, including a scoreless Series win in 2012. His only October blip came in the NLCS this year against St. Louis.

The starters had a 2.40 ERA in 10 playoff games.

Royals: James Shields gave the staff an experienced No. 1 starter when he was obtained from Tampa Bay for several top prospects before the 2013 season. “Big Game James” will pitch the Series opener on 10 days’ rest, hoping to improve his postseason numbers. The right-hander, who can become a free agent this fall, went 1-0 with a 5.63 ERA in three playoff starts and is 3-4 with a 5.19 mark in nine career postseason games. He’s also the rare Royals player with World Series experience.

Shields pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings for the Rays in a 2008 win over Philadelphia. Hard-throwing rookie Yordano Ventura was 14-10 with a 3.20 ERA this season.

He had a 4.85 ERA in three playoff outings, though one of them came in an unfamiliar relief role. Ventura left his ALCS start with shoulder tightness, but he’s had plenty of time to rest. As expected, left-hander Jason Vargas was a steady presence after the Royals signed the free agent to a $32 million, four-year contract last offseason. Veteran right-hander Jeremy Guthrie has pitched only once all month, but he threw five effective innings in the ALCS. Edge: Giants, barely, thanks to Bumgarner.

Bullpen: Giants: Many faces are the same from San Francisco’s two title runs this decade, but a couple of key roles have changed. Santiago Casilla was promoted from setup man to closer during the season when Sergio Romo struggled.

Romo is now setting up Casilla, on a dominant roll dating to September. Casilla has four postseason saves and hasn’t permitted a run in 6 2-3 innings. Romo is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in seven games. Experienced southpaws Jeremy Affeldt and Javier Lopez are very tough on lefties. Affeldt has made 18 consecutive scoreless appearances in the postseason, Casilla 17 and Lopez 15. Fireballing rookie Hunter Strickland has been prone to the home run ball. Lincecum, an October relief weapon two years ago, was bumped to the bullpen again this year but has not pitched in the postseason. Yusmeiro Petit provided a huge boost in long relief during the playoffs, going 2-0 with 11 strikeouts in nine shutout innings of two-hit ball.

Royals: The nasty 1-2-3 punch of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and All-Star closer Greg Holland (46/48 saves) in the final three innings gave Kansas City a winning formula all season. The playoffs were no different.

Holland has six saves and a 1.13 ERA in eight postseason games. Davis is 2-0 with a 0.96 ERA, and Herrera has a 1.08 mark in seven appearances. All three have struck out 10. Jason Frasor also is effective and 21-yearold lefty Brandon Finnegan, who pitched for TCU in the College World Series in June, has showed poise out of the ‘pen. Danny Duffy, normally a starter, is ready in long relief if needed.

Edge: Royals, barely.

Bench: Giants: A relatively inexperienced group that includes Juan Perez, Matt Duffy and catcher Andrew Susac. Veteran infielder Joaquin Arias is still around, and Morse or Ishikawa would provide a power threat back home in San Francisco. There’s some speed here, but it would still be a stretch to call this unit a strength.

Royals: Speedy reserve Jarrod Dyson stole 36 bases this season and often subs in center field, shifting Cain to right. Dyson made a big throw in the AL Division Series against the Angels and had a huge steal in the wild-card game against Oakland. Watch out for him swiping third when he gets the chance. Lightning-fast track star Terrance Gore comes on as a pinch runner when the Royals play for one. Josh Willingham and Butler (in San Francisco) can supply right-handed power to counter those lefties in the Giants’ bullpen.

Edge: Royals.

Manager: Giants: Bruce Bochy. Seeking his third World Series ring in five years, the unassuming Bochy is building a Hall of Fame resume. His masterful use of the bullpen has been a consistent theme throughout San Francisco’s run of 15 wins in its last 17 postseason games. Nobody has a better feel for his team.

Royals: Ned Yost. Once fired by Milwaukee in the middle of a September playoff race, Yost guided Kansas City to its first postseason berth in 29 years and the franchise’s third pennant overall. Must be pretty satisfying.

Some of his puzzling moves have left Royals fans up in arms, but Yost pushed the right buttons against Baltimore in the ALCS and now he’s the toast of the town. We’ll see if it stays that way.

Edge: Giants.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have some wild ideas, but you’re pretty good at “acting normal” when you need to. Don’t overdo that normalcy today. All prudence and no silliness would be a mistake.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your routine is built on sharing. Your day is structured around caretaking efforts and helping those around you to get

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The word “amateur” means “lover” in French.

When you’re not getting paid, you can truly contribute for the sheer love of it, and today that pure intent will produce better-than-professional results.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You want people to know the real you, and you’re not afraid to reveal some of your thoughts and wishes to speed along the process.

You also have a sixth sense about whom you can trust.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Watchfulness is called for, and as much with your physical eyes

as with your spiritual eyes. Focus on the overall picture, not the detail.

Blur your mind’s eye so you can see the overall shape of things.

like-minded individuals. When you talk about the things you love, you become very interesting to people who love those things, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A new interest is verging on obsession.

It will give you great satisfaction to commit close, deep attention to the matter. Discuss it.

Process your thoughts out loud. Share what you’re learning as you go.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). One moment you’re up, the next you’re down.

The weird part is that you still feel the same inside whether you win or lose.

This theme has something to do with refusing to take any of it too seriously.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A side project will be more important than the main deal because that’s where you’ll gain the most satisfaction and enjoyment. How can you get more time to commit to this?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

How you approach your work will go a long way toward attracting new fans. Your creativity will draw them in. The more eyeballs you reach the better you’ll be paid.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your progress will be a no-brainer. All you have to do is the good work in front of your nose — then share it with people. This simple approach will bring you tremendous luck.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re about to meet a whole slew of

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). There will be many happy exchanges in the spirit of love, gratitude and pleasure, and because they happen to overshadow all that does not happen in this spirit, the rest is soon forgotten.
