Mingo home destroyed by fire C-M begins support effort

iff John Halferty, who is also currently the acting Mingo fire chief, said a call about flames coming from the structure came in about 11:45 p.m. No one was home at the time because the family that lives there was away on a camping trip.

Chichaqua Trail riders to see newly finished section

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Colors of Fall Ride is planned for October to take advantage of all the autumn beauty featured along the Chichaqua Valley Trail.

There were a few jokes made during Saturday’s ride and luncheon about how great weather was also “scheduled.” There were also compliments about

recent improvements to the trail and how nice it is for the greater Des Moines bike trail network to have a spur that goes so far out into the trees and prairie of the central Iowa countryside.

The ride is meant to help promote awareness of the trail, which recently underwent a smoothing project along the trail between Mingo and Baxter.

“Our turnout was a little better this year than it was last year,” said Jeff Cook, president of the Friends of the Chichaqua Valley Trail. “We have some other events during other parts of the year, but this is when the leaves change and people can really see why we do this. They also see the results of volunteers and great efforts by the Polk and Jasper county conservation departments.”

Boulder attraction coming to Aurora Park

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A new attraction is heading to Aurora Park.

City council recently approved climbing boulders for the park to enhance the already thriving park system.

The system includes manufactured climbing boulder rocks of different sizes with hand and foot holds to enable use by people of all ages.

“If you have not seen these it is really quite a cool piece of equipment to have,” councilwom-

an Miranda Kulis said.

“Like it says, it is really for all ages and it is one of those things that we already have such incredible parks in our community, this will just help to enhance one.”

More than three years ago, the Newton Park Board identified the need to improve Aurora Park, specifically wanting to target projects focused on recreational opportunities for teens.

Local bakery celebrates five-year anniversary Bun in the Oven strengthens its ties with community

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Five years after Bun in the Oven opened its doors in Newton, owner Dalene Ogden feels the community’s support more than ever.

Freshly made cupcakes, Dutch letter bars and brownies are among the many aromas that can be enjoyed when stepping in the door at 108 W. Third St. S. Ogden, of Tama, grew up in a home that offered her many cooking opportunities.

“I come from a large family,” she said. “There are 11 of us, and I’m the baby.”

One family cuisine she has carried on to her professional world is Indian tacos.

“I make those sometimes, mostly on bike night,” she said.

Ogden noted that’s what makes her bakery so unique — she never knows what she will whip up next, there is no set menu when it comes to lunch.

With the weather getting cooler, soup options will be in abundance with cheddar broccoli, cream of mushroom, tomato, ham vegetable, (also known as poor man’s soup), chicken wild rice, mushroom wild rice and chili.

Even with the endless possibilities, Ogden’s daughter Ashley said people mostly request her mom’s meatloaf.

“I like helping my mom when I can,” Ashley said. “All my friends love her because I usually end up with a lot of leftovers.”

Ogden is a mother of six, three boys and three girls.

When the bakery opened, she started selling handmade baby items, which become increasingly popular as the holidays approach.

Another thing she prides herself in is her prices.

“I’m affordable,” she said.

A lot of Ogden’s success comes from contributing at fundraisers and catering.

She enjoys making food from

a variety of heritages — German, French, Italian, Dutch, etc.

Ogden said she gets her business’s name out there when she holds fundraisers every year, one that she is famous for is the Skiff Medical Center bake sale, which took place Friday.

Ogden set up Halloween goodies from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“I like seeing the patients’ smiles as they pass by,” she said.

Ogden is at Skiff twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring, all the proceeds go to the United Way of Jasper County. In addition, she can be found at the Family Video Lymphoma fundraiser and the

Jasper County Animal Rescue League fundraiser.

Ogden said her favorite part of having a business in Newton is the “small town” feel.

“I like my customers. They’re all really nice,” she said. “I love meeting new people.”

Bun in the Oven’s hours are 9 a.m to 1:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Iowa unemployment rate remains at 4.2 percent in September DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 4.2 percent in September. The state’s jobless rate was 3.6 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate increased slightly to 5.0 percent in September.

“Due to an increase in the number of Iowans participating in the workforce, Iowa’s unemployment rate held steady at 4.2 percent in September,” said Beth Townsend, Director of Iowa Workforce Development.

“The fact that the additional workers could find jobs is a good sign regarding the state of Iowa’s economy despite the recent uptick in the unemployment rate in the past few months.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 72,500 in September from 72,800 in August. The current estimate is 11,800 higher than the year ago level of 60,700.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,650,200 in September. This figure was 8,200 higher than August and 9,600 higher than one year ago.

For some low-income workers, retirement is only a dream Deerfield, Florida, plans to stay on the job until she can’t physically work anymore.

“I can’t see it in the future.

I’ll stop working if my health won’t allow me to keep working,” said Strowbridge. Now 71, she works six days per week caring for a 100-yearold woman in Florida.

Studies have found that about one-third of low wage workers like Strawbridge say they’ll never be able to afford retirement. The problem is particularly acute among minority women.

A 2016 report by the nonpartisan research nonprofit National Institute on Retirement Security shows that many black, Latina and Asian women have to work past retirement age to be able to afford basic expenses. Women were 80 percent more likely than men to be impoverished.

The research showed that for men between 70 and 74, about 19 percent of their income comes from wages. For women, it’s about 15 percent.

“You couldn’t put nothing in the bank because I was always underpaid,” Strowbridge said. “I just didn’t make enough to save.”

According to Newton Police, the motorcycle was traveling south in the 1300 block of West Fourth Street when the driver struck the curb on the east side of the roadway. The motorcycle slid on its side and then struck the south curb along South 15th Avenue West, then vaulted and struck a utility pole.

Spangenburg had a revoked license and didn’t have a motorcycle endorsement. The accident is still under investigation, but speed is believed to be a contributing factor. It is unknown yet if alcohol played a role.

hile I love a Thanksgiving gathering and the magic of a Christmas morning, Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. I kind of freak out about it.

My tubs of decorations are beginning to equal my Christmas stockpile. Costume planning and purchasing begins in the summertime, if not before. Traditions are kept and upheld or I pout about it.

While the kids have outgrown traditional costumes and trick-or-treating events, I somehow managed to get our youngest child to participate this year by going with a trendy “Stanger Things” costume. That’s a small victory I’ve been savoring. Meanwhile we’ve been participating in the traditional autumn types of outings that make me love this time of

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Oct. 24, 2016

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer year.

We recently did our annual voyage to Uncle Bill’s pumpkin patch and came away with about 80 pounds worth of orange goodness. The largest pumpkin boasts this beautiful giant stem that I can’t get over. It’s so impressive I may not be able to carve it up — but I privately keep thinking about baking its seeds, so we’ll see.

When the kids were younger we would make an annual trek to Deal’s Apple Orchard near my parents’ home. Complete with “how tall this fall” photo opps, a bouncy pillow, hayrack rides and pumpkin patches, it’s a charming destination.

With busier schedules and older kids our traditions are beginning to shift. For the past two years we have gone to Sleepy Hollow Haunted Scream Park in Pleasant

Hill because apparently being terrified is a new part of my Halloween love.

It’s honestly a lot of money, long lines and a bit too frightening for me, but I’m kind of hooked. Probably one of the best parts is shooting paint guns at real life “zombies” in an old school bus outfitted for that purpose. I could stand to improve my aim and the kids could use a lesson in preserving ammo.

The rest of the campus is set up with different walk-through haunted houses that are truly scary. I’m talking clowns — creepy clowns that suddenly appear and then stand creepily close to you or walk immediately behind you. And there’s a monster with a chainsaw that is revving it up as you run screaming from a building. I have no idea how the children are sleeping at night. When I watched “Pet Sematary” too young I had to sleep with my parents for a week. True story.

Coming up we’ll partake in a few other favorites. Our church will host its annual Trunk or Treat event, which I get to help plan and coordinate with a great

group of women. Because I always get a costume for my dog, and this year the costume is Pope Francis-themed, we’re planning on taking her down to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church parking lot for the festivities. It may end up being just a short appearance in the truck bed before her excitement is contained in the cab, but I’m pretty excited regardless.

On Saturday the Young Professionals of Jasper County will host its annual Halloween party bus around the county. We went for the first time last year, as a pirate couple, and made some fun memories. I, of course, love dressing up for the holiday and look forward to this year’s costumes.

In the meantime I’m enjoying crisp temperatures, my longtime skeleton named Bones and plugging in my goblins and pumpkins when the sun goes down. Next Monday I’ll light my jacko-lanterns and enjoy my final night of celebrating Halloween.

Eye on America John Stossel

A better choice Hillary Clinton is a manipulative, power-mad liar.

Donald Trump is a selfish, sexist, narcissistic bully.

These are our choices Nov. 8?

The leading candidates’ avarice is bad enough. Their ideas are worse.

Clinton wants to micro-regulate America into poverty and stagnation. Trump would start a trade war, if not an actual war.

While America is going bankrupt, both candidates brag that they will spend more — Trump on the military and his pointless wall, Clinton mostly on social programs.

Both promise a new child care entitlement: paid maternity leave. I’d think a Republican presidential candidate would resist promising more “free” stuff. But Trump, with daughter Ivanka standing behind him, offers Clintoncare “lite”: paid leave for six weeks instead of 12.

Naturally, the Clinton media want more. Socialist cheerleaders at Fortune complain that Trump’s proposal is stingy compared to Clinton’s and very stingy compared to real family leave, offered by civilized nations in Europe — especially Greece.

Hello? Have you not noticed how Greece suffers largely because of “generous benefits” like that? You think it’s a coincidence that Greece’s unemployment rate is 25 percent?

Why would employers hire workers if they must later give them 12 weeks of pay not to work?

I’d think Fortune writers and Democratic and Republican presidential candidates would understand that “free” benefits come with nasty costs. But they don’t understand.

Or if they do, they just ignore it.

Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson doesn’t ignore these problems. He promises to avert America’s bankruptcy by cutting spending 43 percent.

But the candidate of the third party (I should call Libertarians the first party, since they respect the Constitution) is in a tough spot. He must both convince voters that he has better ideas — and that he’s not strange. That’s tough to do when you’re a politician who stumbles over words and the RepubliDems won’t allow you into the debates. Recent polls show that almost 40 percent of Americans don’t even know that Johnson’s running.

That’s too bad. If there were ever a year for a third party to thrive, this was it. Most voters — from both major parties — are unhappy with their party’s nominee.

Sadly, they are not unhappy enough to vote for Gary Johnson. I have to respect the betting; bettors give Johnson just a .1 percent chance.

The bettors also say Clinton is favored 84 percent to 15 percent over Trump. Get ready for President Clinton. Sigh.

Polls suggest about 6 percent of Americans will vote Libertarian.

Some will be Bernie Sanders supporters. How can that be? Sanders is a socialist! He’s an economic illiterate who wants government to control more !

But on civil liberties, Sanders is better than Trump and Clinton.

Both Sanders and Johnson are sympathetic to immigrants. Johnson knows that most become workers, customers and entrepreneurs who boost economic opportunities for everyone.

Like Sanders, Johnson wants to avoid getting bogged down in foreign wars.

Like Sanders, Johnson has long been in favor of marriage equality, whereas Clinton only recently decided it was politically safe to endorse it.

Like Sanders, Johnson knows that some complaints from the Black Lives Matter movement are valid and that the drug war does more harm than good.

Obviously, those positions upset some conservatives, but Johnson still has plenty to offer Republicans. He’s more sensible than Donald Trump.

Unlike Trump, Johnson knows that free trade decreases poverty and makes the world a better, happier place. He understands that the minimum wage makes most people poorer and that free speech is a good thing.

Like Trump, Johnson opposes gun control, Obamacare and increasing regulation.

A vote for Johnson will give Americans more choices and freedom in the future.

City in state of confusion I think whomever landed on the design of the current city signs must have ADHD. On one hand, city says we want to be historical and preserve old looks and heritage. While I drove past city hall recently, this big ugly,

Iowa needs Democrats in the statehouse The presidential debates are over. It is time Iowans and the Iowa news media focused on what’s happening here in our state. An extreme version of the Iowa Republican Party could take control of the Iowa Statehouse. If they win, that’s bad news for our public schools, Iowa health care and every state service.

Here’s why I believe that.

First, the Republican candidates for the Iowa legislature in this election have little in common with the moderate, “good government” Republicans of Iowa’s past. They believe what they believe, and they don’t let facts get in the way.

Second, Iowa’s bipartisan state government hangs from a single

connecting the fires with those who have peacefully demonstrated against the pipeline.

Folks, arson isn’t our style. In fact, after the August fire on the same property, I submitted a letter to the editor denouncing violence and encouraging those who want to stop the pipeline to “take direct, civil disobedient action against it — even to risk arrest for the cause.” That’s what I did Sept.

10 in Boone County, and what many others have done to protect Iowa’s waters, land and landown-

er rights.

As a member of the Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition, I’ve been privileged to know dozens of others who, like me, are firsttime activists and arrestees. We didn’t seek out something to “protest.” But when this pipeline came in – we had to stand up. And we’ll stand strong until we defeat it – thoughtfully, peacefully, and proudly. Visit nobakken.com for more information.

blue rectangular sign greeted me. Very ugly sign in front of a brick building. I hope these are replaced soon with something closer to what we had before.

Signage before made more sense and was more plesing to the eye.

Next: city wants to be “green”, here again, the old signage made more sense and looked “green.”

Of course, those of us who have lived here longer than 10 years know how city government likes to run around in circles doing things one way, then changing back, then repeating all over again, never really accomplishing anything of substance.

thread: the one vote Democratic majority in the Iowa Senate.

Third, every Iowan loses if Governor Branstad and the statehouse Republicans win complete control of state government. Just look at what’s happened to education, mental health services, and the state budget during the last six years that Republicans have controlled the Governor’s office and the Iowa House.

For our local schools, it has been the worst six-year period in the history of the school funding formula. Classes are larger and more crowded, experienced teachers are quitting, and rural schools are closing.

Iowa’s health care system is a mess. Governor Branstad and the Republicans closed two mental health institutes.

We now have the nation’s 49th worst mental health system. In response, and instead of stand-

ing up for disabled Iowans and their families, Republicans make excuses for the Wall Street companies now running Iowa’s health safety net.

Republicans already say the state can’t afford responsible investments in education or health care. If Iowa’s statehouse Republicans get complete control, they will pass massive tax breaks for the rich and out-ofstate corporations. Then Iowa really won’t be able afford good schools and a decent health care system.

Should Iowans give Governor Branstad and the Republicans total control of Iowa’s state government?

I don’t think so. Let’s keep bipartisan government in Iowa.

Vote for Democratic candidates to the Iowa House and Senate.

Supportive friend should leave therapy to an expert

DEAR ABBY: I am a college student on the East Coast. A dear friend of mine who attends the same university goes home on break to the West Coast.

She was raped at a party. Over the summer break she found out she was pregnant and had an abortion. She’s now suffering from some intense emotional and psychological problems and sees a campus therapist.

Abby, I want to be supportive, but I’m not sure how. I don’t know what to say around her or how to keep her mind off it, or if I should. Can you help me? — CONCERNED FRIEND DEAR CONCERNED FRIEND: You are this young woman’s friend. Let her know you are there for her. Treat her as you always have and talk about the things you always have with her. It is not your job to distract her from thinking about what happened to her.

If she wants to talk about it, be prepared to listen and sympathize. But if she needs more than that, remind her that she has a licensed therapist who is more qualified to help than you are, and encourage her to contact the person if something is dragging her down.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve had three different secretarial jobs over the last 10 years. At two of them something has happened, and I’m hoping you can help me deal with the situation.

While at my desk, I’ve had bosses who enter my office, come around to my side of the desk and stand very close to me. Sometimes they’ll even start keying things into my computer — all without asking. It feels like an invasion of my personal space.

I wouldn’t do that to them. Why do they feel they can do this to me? Or am I making too much of the whole thing? Please help. — SILENT SECRETARY IN TEXAS DEAR SILENT: Different peo-

ple have different boundaries when it comes to personal space. Because having someone come around your desk and stand close to you without permission makes you nervous, speak to your boss about it.

That someone would reach over you to type something into a document you are working on seems to me to be rude, but your employer may have been trying to add something or correct errors, and thought it would be a faster way of getting the job done than trying to explain it to you.

It might reassure you to discuss this with some of the other secretaries, ask if this is common and whether it bothers them, and let them advise you.

DEAR ABBY: I know food is often described as “finger-lickin’ good,” but I’m appalled at the number of people who literally do this at restaurants.

Didn’t they ever learn to use a napkin?

What’s next — licking each other’s fingers? Can you comment? — MANNERLY OUT WEST DEAR MANNERLY: I will ignore the temptation to give a naughty answer and offer a nugget of advice.

Now that you know not everyone has table manners that measure up to your own — or even most folks’ — do less people-watching in restaurants or eat at home.

1 Survey: Plenty of pheasants for season opening Oct. 29

DES MOINES — Iowa’s pheasant hunting season opens Oct. 29, when nearly 60,000 hunters are expected to pursue ringnecks in fields across the state.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources annual August roadside survey predicts Iowa pheasant hunters will have good hunting this fall, and likely more company in the field. The survey found an average of 21 pheasants per 30 mile route statewide. Todd Bogenschutz is an upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa DNR.

2 Labor union criticizes staffing levels at Iowa prison

CORALVILLE — Labor union officials are criticizing staffing levels at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center prison, but state officials defend their hiring and say the prison is filling its vacancies. Danny Homan, president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Iowa Council 61, says the reduced staffing contributed to a recent incident where four inmates tested positive for meth.

CHEROKEE — Businesses in northwest Iowa are seeing a clear boost in business when construction workers building the Dakota Access oil pipeline arrive in town. Cherokee city manager Sam Kooiker said the difference is clear downtown in the evenings when few parking spots are available. The 1,200-mile pipeline is designed to carry crude oil has drawn opposition from people worried about potential effects on drinking water and tribal land, but the project is moving forward and is about 75 percent complete.

DES MOINES — A Des Moines man has pleaded guilty to murder in the death of his wife and was sentenced to life in prison. Barney Fraaken, 48, pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree murder in the shooting death of his wife, Amy Fraaken, in November 2015. He originally also was charged with murder in the death of the couple’s 16-year-old daughter, Amber, but that charge was dropped in a plea deal.

Fraaken’s wife and daughter were found dead in their Des Moines home.

Michael Charles Garreans, 55, pleaded guilty to the charge on June 9. He was sentenced Thursday.

In addition to his five-year sentence, he will be on supervised release for seven years following his prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

Early voting data shows strengths for Trump and Clinton WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton appears to be displaying strength in the crucial battleground states of North Carolina and Florida among voters casting ballots before Election Day, and may also be building an early vote advantage in Arizona and Colorado.

Donald Trump, meanwhile, appears to be holding ground in Ohio, Iowa and Georgia, according to data compiled by The Associated Press. Those are important states for Trump, but not sufficient for him to win the presidency if he loses states like Florida or North Carolina.

“The Trump campaign should be concerned,” said Scott Tranter, co-founder of Optimus, a Republican data analytics firm. His firm’s analysis suggests a “strong final showing for the Clinton campaign” in early voting.

Early voting — by mail or at polling stations — is off to a fast start.

More than 5.3 million votes have been cast already, far outpacing the rate for this period in 2012. Balloting is underway in 34 out of 37 early-voting states.

In all, more than 46 million people are expected to vote before Election Day — or as much as 40 percent of all votes cast.

Both parties are encouraging their supporters to vote early. The outcome of those ballots won’t be known until counting begins after polls close on Nov. 8, but some clues are available. Some states report the party affiliations of early voters, as well as breakdowns by race and gender.

The data that is available represents a small sample of the more than 120 million people who will cast ballots in the presidential election, but a notable one.

A look at early voting trends: GOOD SIGNS FOR CLINTON: FLORIDA, NORTH CAROLINA, MAINE The Clinton campaign is looking to build an insurmountable lead in Florida and North Carolina during early voting. If she wins either of those states, she’ll probably be the next president.

Judge: Wrongful death suit can’t name new defendants DES MOINES (AP) — The family of a Des Moines woman who died of a prescription-drug overdose is appealing a judge’s rejection of their motion seeking to name the doctor’s former health system as defendants.

Brandy Stoutenberg’s relatives originally blamed Dr. Daniel Baldi for her 2010 death. The family pressed on with a lawsuit against him after Baldi was acquitted in 2014 of criminal counts of manslaughter for the deaths of nine patients, including Stoutenberg and Paul Gray, a founding member of the band Slipknot, who also died in 2010.

During Baldi’s criminal trial, another doctor testified that he had pre-

AP Photo People vote at a polling station on the first day of early voting in Miami-Dade County for the general election in Miami.

Using 2012 as a guidepost, she appears to be in a strong position in early voting.

While Democrats tend to do better in early voting, Republicans usually post an initial lead with mail-in ballots before Democrats surpass them during in-person early voting in mid to late October.

Democrats so far have kept it close with mail-in ballots, giving Clinton a chance to run up the score with in-person early voting.

To do that, she’ll need non-whites and young people to turn out near the high levels they did in 2012 for Barack Obama.

In North Carolina, Democrats have moved ahead of Republicans in early voting. Republicans had

held a modest lead based on mailin ballots returned, but that was at a much narrower margin than in 2012, when Mitt Romney narrowly won the state. After in-person voting began on Thursday, Democrats overtook Republicans in overall votes cast.

In Florida, a record 3.1 million people have requested ballots, more than one-third of the total voters in 2012. Democrats have requested almost as many ballots as Republicans: 39 percent vs. 40 percent.

By comparison, in 2008, Republicans held a lead of 49 percent to 32 percent in requests, according to an analysis for AP by Catalist, a Democratic analytical firm. Obama won in Florida in 2008 and 2012.

scribed a powerful stimulant and anti-anxiety medication to Stoutenberg — testimony that jurors said helped shape their decision to acquit Baldi.

The Stoutenberg lawsuit was scheduled to go to trial Monday.

But a judge dismissed it last month, noting that an expert hired by the family agreed with defense experts that the death was not Baldi’s fault. The family then sought to move forward with the lawsuit against his former health system, now known as UnityPoint.

But District Judge Douglas Staskal said it would be improper to allow a plaintiff to effectively switch targets six years after a death.

Iowa school districts have more than $145M sitting unused DES MOINES — Iowa school districts are holding more than $145 million in their accounts, but superintendents say restrictions on that money is making it hard to spend.

The money in dozens of different funds has grown since 2013 when the total was about $130 million, so school officials are lobbying for more flexibility.

Iowa State Board of Education member Mary Ellen Miller says the legislature should consider loosening the restrictions on this money.

“It doesn’t make much sense to have this money sitting in banks around the state,” Miller said.

But some lawmakers say the districts should just spend the money for the purpose it was intended.

“It’s there for a purpose, it needs to be used for the purpose — not sitting on it,” said Brian Schoenjahn, D-Arlington, chairman of the Senate subcommittee that governs education spending.

State data shows that about half of the state’s 338 school districts had at least one fund with a balance of more than $50,000 at the end of the 2014-15 school year.

Jasper County Health Department to give away teeth cleaning products at Downtown Trick or Treat event Newton Daily News Jasper Co. Health Dept. will be giving away free toothbrushes, floss and toothpaste at the Downtown Trick or Treat on from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Newton Downtown Square. Also check out its Snapchat filter during the event.

Here are some tips to steps to prevent tooth decay.

1. Offer healthy alternatives to candy. Eating sweets causes damaging acids to form in the mouth. These acids continue to affect the teeth for at least 20 minutes before they are neutralized. Sugar-free gum containing the artificial sweetener xylitol is effective in combating the bacteria in plaque and fighting the acid that eats away at enamel. The chewing motion also stimulates the flow of saliva, which

helps cleanse the teeth. That makes sugar-free gum a smart choice to drop into Halloween bags.

2. Limit the amount of time that sugar is in contact with your child’s teeth. When buying candy for Halloween, look for treats that can be eaten quickly, like miniature candy bars. When you get home from trick-or-treating, discard hard or sticky candies like sugared fruit snacks, caramels or lollipops, as they increase the period of time in which teeth are exposed to sugar. Encourage your child to eat a small amount of candy in one sitting followed by a glass of water and thorough tooth brushing. It is not a good idea to allow your child to graze on candy as this will increase the amount of time sugar comes in contact with teeth.

3. Take time during Hal-

loween to brush up on your child’s oral health habits.

What better time than Halloween to treat your kids to a little reminder about the importance of healthy teeth and gums? Just a quick reminder of the importance of brushing with fluoridated toothpaste, flossing and visiting the dentist is all that’s needed to help your child understand the importance of oral health. Treat your child to a special, new toothbrush and some flavored floss to reinforce the habit of proper dental care.

The health department is also hosting a coloring contest with the theme “Blush — Floss — Smile.” Tag them in your picture on Facebook or Instagram for a chance to win. To download a coloring page, check out its website: www.co.jasper.ia.us/index.aspx?page=552

Nominations Open for 100 Great Iowa Nurses of 2017 Newton Daily News IOWA CITY — The 100 Great Iowa Nurses program has announced nominations are open for 2017 at www. greatnurses.org.

Each year, the program recognizes 100 nurses across the state whose compassion and commitment to their patients and the nursing profession stand out above all others.

Founded in 2005, the program has recognized 1,200 Great Iowa Nurses.

Over the past 12 years, patients, coworkers, friends and family members have nominated thousands of outstanding nurses from across the state. To date, honorees have come from 93 of Iowa’s 99 counties.

“We know nurses are doing great things in every corner of the state. It is our hope to be able to recognize and celebrate nurses in every single Iowa county,” 100 Great Iowa Nurses Co-Chair Liz Swanson said.

100 Great Iowa Nurses

hopes to continue to see statewide support for nurses, as well as an increase in nominations from the counties that have not yet been recognized: Fremont, Howard, Monona, Page, Van Buren and Worth.

Nurses selected for this honor represent many sectors of health care, working as nurses in hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools and offices. They come from all practice areas, including acute care, sub-acute care, school nursing, parish nursing, nurse

leadership and academics. After undergoing a two-part review process, 100 Great Iowa Nurses are honored each year at a ceremony created for the state of Iowa by nurse and community leaders.

On May 7, the 2017 100 Great Iowa Nurses will gather to be honored at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines.

The celebration is an annual prelude to National Nurses Week, which begins on May 6 and ends on May 12 (the birthday of Florence Nightingale).

This statewide program is made possible through the generous support of sponsors.

With email dumps, WikiLeaks tests power of full transparency LONDON (AP) — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange first outlined the hypothesis nearly a decade ago: Can total transparency defeat an entrenched group of insiders?

“Consider what would happen,” Assange wrote in 2006, if one of America’s two major parties had their emails, faxes, campaign briefings, internal polls and donor data all exposed to public scrutiny.

“They would immediately fall into an organizational stupor,” he predicted, “and lose to the other.”

A decade later, various organs of the Democratic Party have been hacked; several staffers have resigned and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has seen the inner workings of her campaign exposed to the public, including disclosures calling into question her positions on trade and Wall Streetand her relationship with the party’s left . Many of these emails have been released into the public domain by WikiLeaks.

Some see the leaks as a sign that Assange has thrown his lot in with Republican rival Donald Trump or even with Russia. But others who’ve followed Assange over the years say he’s less interested in who wins high office than in exposing — and wearing down — the gears of political power that grind away behind the scenes.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Coffee May Prevent Liver Disease Drinking two cups of coffee a day may reduce the risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver by 44%, according to a new study. Researchers studied 400,000 participants and found the risk of cirrhosis decreased as the number of cups of coffee consumed increased (3 cups a day lowered risk by 57% and 4 cups, by 65%).

Researchers caution that while drinking coffee may lower risk of cirrhosis, it won’t counteract the harmful effects of excessive alcohol intake or the damage that results from being overweight or obese.

Also, these results may not apply to coffee drinks with lots of whipped cream and sugar.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Finishing the final drive for a final time at H.A. Lynn Stadium is Newton High senior running back Reese Rosenquist (27) against visiting Indianola Friday night as sophomore running back Josh Miller (34), right, celebrates the touchdown. Newton defeated Indianola, 45-28, in Class 4A District 4 play to finish the 2016 season at 6-3.

Cardinals dominate finale to go 6-3

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Executing and finishing were more than words for Newton High’s Cardinals Friday night.

In the final game of the 2016 season, it was Senior Night, and it was Trenton Brady Night for the Cardinal football team. No playoff berth was on the line but a lot of pride in executing and finishing Newton’s first season in Class 4A competition since 2008 the right way — the Car-

dinal way.

With 15 seniors leading the way, the Cardinals dominated the visiting Indianola Indians in a 45-28 victory. The numbers tell the story: time of possession — Newton 34 minutes, 13 seconds, Indianola 13:47; rushing yards — 417 on a school-record 75 carries for Newton, 108 yards on 19 carries for the Indians; first downs — 22 Newton, 7 Indianola.

The only number Indianola had on its side of the ledger was 238 yards in the passing game. The Indians had four

big plays — three long pass touchdown plays and one long run to set up a TD. Before the game, senior football players and other seniors were recognized with their parents. The team, school and community honored Brady, who would have been a senior lineman on the team but was killed in an automobile accident in June.

Newton never trailed in the game. It was tied once, 7-7, but the Cardinals owned a 2814 halftime lead.

“At halftime, the coaches’

one word for us was finish — finish the second half, finish drives, finish the game and finish the season,” senior defensive lineman Reagan Maple said. “We did that tonight. As seniors, it was our last game and for our underclassmen, winning gave them a good bounce into the offseason.”

Newton came out with a statement drive to open the third quarter. It used a time-consuming drive — 9 minutes of the 12-minute period — with 19 plays, all but one was a running play. Zach

Playoff bound: NCMP takes Mustangs, Hawks third in NCIC swim meet know first-round foes

Combs finished the march with a 22-yard field goal to put Newton up 31-14.

“I thought we could run against their defensive scheme. We’ve won games this season when we’ve run right at people. Our guys dominated inside on the line, especially on that drive,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said.

“I’m proud of all of our guys tonight. They executed everything we wanted them to do so well.”

Montezuma upends Lynnville-Sully

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

fifth-ranked Lynnville-Sully (8-1) plays Class A defending champion and No. 2-ranked Gladbrook-Reinbeck at 7 p.m. Friday in Gladbrook.

The Hawks were runner-up in District 6 and Gladbrook-Reinbeck won the District 5 title.

The winner of the Lynnville-Sully vs. Gladbrook-Reinbeck game takes on the winner of the 10th-ranked Montezuma vs. BGM contest on Nov. 4 in the Class A quarterfinals.

SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s football team knew it was playoff bound before Friday’s Class A District 6 showdown at home against Montezuma. It was two ranked teams playing for the district title.

The fifth-ranked Hawks were trying to notch an undefeated regular season and securing a district title and home firstround playoff game.

Montezuma’s Braves were on the bubble — win they were in, but lose the Braves could be on the outside looking in at the Class A playoffs.

Mustangs gallop into playoffs with another easy win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe football coach Greg Bonnett has heard it before.

A weak schedule got brought up when he coached at Dowling Catholic and Northwest Missouri State and the same type of opinions have surfaced this year during a dominant run to a district championship.

“All those teams that ‘didn’t play anyone’ just kept winning, too,” Bonnett said.

“It is what it is. There’s not

much we can do about our district. You just have to believe in yourself and believe in what your doing. The guys are playing well right now.”

The winning streak continued for the Mustangs on Friday night, and once again, they were barely challenged in a 73-8 win over Clarke in Class 2A District 6 play on Senior Night.

CMB caps program, season with win over South Hardin

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ELDORA — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s football team held South Hardin to 159 total yards and won the final game of the season and in program history.

Senior Blake Coughenour gained 282 total yards, the Raider defense forced three turnovers and CMB put a cap on its program with a 27-13 win over South Hardin on Friday night during Class 2A District 3 play.

The Raiders led 21-0 at halftime and went up 27-0 in the third quarter.

Coughenour scored two second-quarter touchdowns that came after senior Hunter McWhirter found senior Brady Kemp for a 19-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter.

Jeff Thompson scored two second-half TDs for the host Tigers, but CMB’s early lead was too much to overcome.

South Hardin (3-6, 2-5) ended the season with four straight losses.

Coughenour’s first two TD runs covered two and nine yards, respectively. He added

a third touchdown run in the third quarter. That was another 2-yard TD run.

Both teams threw an interception, but South Hardin lost two fumbles. The Raiders

had an 18-11 advantage in first downs, averaged five yards per carry and had 421 total yards.

Coughenour rushed for 120 yards and three TDs. He grabbed six catches for 162 yards, too.

Junior Braydon Aker was 9-of-14 through the air for 179 yards. McWhirter was 11-for13. One of those incompletions was picked off and one completion went for a touchdown.

Kemp hauled in nine catches for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Senior Ben Gunderson had six tackles and an interception to lead CMB’s defense. Seniors Dalton Birchmier and Jason Hillgren each had four tackles.

Sophomore Will Clapper recorded a sack.

The Raiders finished their final season at 4-5 overall and 4-3 in 2A District 3 play.

Mustangs

Continued from Page 1B returned from an injury to grab another TD and junior Noah Anderson and sophomore Wes Cummings both reached 100 yards rushing at halftime.

PCM led 60-0 at halftime, and the starters didn’t step foot on the field in the second half. The Mustangs surrendered only 22 points during district play this season. Offensively, PCM averaged 53 points in its seven district wins.

The starters on both sides of the ball haven’t played much in the second half since their Week 2 win over Class A No. 10 Montezuma.

“It was nice to see us get out to a fast start,” Bonnett said. “I was a little worried about our focus with ‘The Blitz’ being here early this morning. But these guys continue to amaze me at how focused they are.”

The Channel 5’s Blitz Gameday was in town Friday morning, giving the Mustangs another distraction. Not even that could slow down a PCM offense that scored six touchdowns in its first 15 plays of the game. The defense did its part, too, forcing seven turnovers in the win.

A big kickoff return by Greiner set up the Mustangs at the Clarke 29-yard line to start the game. The home team needed just one play to get on the board as Cummings zig zagged his way to a 29-yard TD run.

Clarke fumbled the ensuing kickoff, setting up PCM at the Indians’ 40-yard line. This time, the Mustangs needed two plays, but most of the yards came on a 39-yard touchdown pass from Speers to Greiner.

Another fumble by Clarke on the next kickoff helped the Mustangs go up 21-0 just 3 minutes into the game. A 23-yard pass from Speers to Greiner set up Speers’ second TD pass of the game, a 12-yard strike to Clark.

“I went over there to congratulate him because I was excited to have my brother back on the field with me,” Greiner said.

“I’ve been playing with him since the seventh grade. I am glad he got to play on Senior Night.”

Clarke drove 46 yards on its first official possession of the game, but the Indians (3-6 overall, 3-4 in district play) turned the ball over on downs.

PCM then drove 68 yards in two plays.

Anderson did all the work on the ground, gaining 26 and a first down on the first carry and then sprinting 45 yards for a TD on the second one.

A third fumble on a kickoff by Clarke gave PCM another short field a few minutes later. Starting at the Clarke 38-yard line, Speers was sacked on the first play of the possession. That was followed by a 33-yard pass to Cummings came before Speers’ 17-yard TD pass to Greiner.

“We’ve got a lot of playmakers on this team, and no one cares who scores the TDs,” Greiner said. “It’s about the team and winning games.”

After recovering an onside kick, the Mustangs made it 40-0 late in the first quarter when Speers connected with sophomore Jarron Trausch on a 42-yard TD pass. That drive took only two plays.

Cummings carried the ball twice on PCM’s next drive. That’s all the Mustangs needed to score as Cummings went 26 and then scored on a 47-yarder. The sophomore tailback had 103 yards and two touchdowns on four carries.

Anderson gained 104 yards and scored twice on four carries. His second TD

capped a one-play drive that resulted in a 35-yard TD run.

Nick Dredge set up PCM’s next scoring drive with an interception of Clarke quarterback Andy Hurtado.

The Mustangs needed a fourth-down conversion on their next drive, but Clark’s 22-yard catch kept the drive alive. Big offensive lineman James Snodgrass capped the drive with a 9-yard TD run. Snodgrass scored on the “snody counter” for the third time this season.

“This was my favorite one,” Snodgrass.

“I actually got to hit someone on this one.

I was untouched on the other two. This has been a fun season. It’s been by far the best season of my high school career.”

The Mustangs’ second-team offense scored twice in the fourth quarter.

Sophomore Reed Worth connected with senior James Maggard on a 19-yard touchdown pass that made it 66-0.

The lead grew to 73-0 when Cade McCombs picked up a Worth fumble at the 1-yard line and dove over the goal line for six points.

Speers completed eight of his 10 passes in the first half. Those eight completions went for 184 yards and four TDs. He now has 1,976 yards and 28 touchdowns on the season.

Worth was 5-for-5 for 61 yards in the second half. He also rushed four times for 31 yards.

Greiner gained 67 yards on three catches and Maggard hauled in three passes for 58 yards.

Greiner leads 2A with 17 touchdown receptions. His 899 receiving yards ranks second.

The Mustangs outgained Clarke 500-

153. PCM rushed for 250 yards and passed for 250 yards.

“We have a ton of guys who can make plays for this team,” Snodgrass said. “It all starts up front, but without the speed of the guys with the ball, we don’t win the district title. They have made a lot of plays for us this year.”

The Mustang defense got interceptions from Chase Sanders and Dredge.

Anderson recovered two fumbles, while Lane Raske, Clayton Welch, Jakeb Fenton and Leevi Telfer recovered one fumble each.

Greiner and Ethan Thomas had four solo tackles each, while Welch had six assisted tackles and Snodgrass and Telfer collected five assisted tackles.

PCM finished the regular season at 8-1 and went 7-0 in district play.

Cubs reach first World Series since 1945 CHICAGO (AP) — Anthony Rizzo caught the ball for the final out and Wrigley Field erupted.

“I’m sleeping with this thing tonight,” the Chicago Cubs first baseman told the pulsating crowd moments later, kissing the prized souvenir.

“Are you kidding me? We’re going to the World Series.”

Cubs ... World Series? Yes, the Cubbies!

Next up, Game 1 in Cleveland.

With fans chanting, singing and waving those Ws, shaking the century-old ballpark and jamming the streets of Wrigleyville, the Cubs celebrated a moment many of their faithful wondered whether they would ever see.

Kyle Hendricks outpitched Clayton Kershaw, Rizzo and Willson Contreras homered early and the Cubs took their first pennant since 1945, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 Saturday night to win the NL Championship Series in six games.

“Listen to them. Outside before the game was crazy.

Inside the game was crazy,” Cubs pitcher Jon Lester said.

“These guys have done nothing but support us from Day One. It’s been unbelievable to be here and be part of this. Words can’t really describe where I’m at right now,” he said.

Cursed by a Billy Goat, bedeviled by Bartman and crushed by decades of disappointment, those “Lovable Losers” now have a chance to

win it all.

Trying to win their first crown since 1908, manager Joe Maddon’s team opens the World Series against Cleveland on Tuesday night.

“This city deserves it so much,” Rizzo said. “We got four more big ones to go, but we’re going to enjoy this.

We’re going to the World Series. I can’t even believe that.”

All-everything Javier Baez and Lester shared the NLCS MVP. Baez hit .318, drove in five runs and made several sharp plays at second base.

Lester, a former World Series champion in Boston, was 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts against the Dodgers.

The drought ended when Aroldis Chapman got Yasiel Puig to ground into a double play, setting off a wild celebration. And if they bring home the elusive championship?

Deemed World Series favorites since opening day, the Cubs topped the majors with 103 wins to win the NL Central, then beat the Giants and Dodgers in the playoffs.

The Cubs overcame a 2-1

deficit against the Dodgers and won their 17th pennant.

They had not earned a World Series trip since winning a doubleheader opener 4-3 at Pittsburgh on Sept. 29, 1945, to clinch the pennant on the next-to-last day of the season.

The eternal “wait till next year” is over. No more dwelling on a history of failure — the future is now.

“We’re too young. We don’t care about it,” star slugger Kris Bryant said. “We don’t look into it. This is a new team, this is a completely different time

of our lives. We’re enjoying it and our work’s just getting started.”

Hendricks pitched two-hit ball for 7 1/3 innings . Chapman took over and closed with hitless relief, then threw both arms in the air as he was mobbed by teammates and coaches.

The Dodgers sent the minimum 27 batters to the plate and no one got past first base.

The Cubs shook off backto-back shutout losses earlier in this series by pounding the Dodgers for 23 runs to win the final three games.

And they were in no way overwhelmed by the moment on Saturday, putting aside previous frustration.

Bryant had an RBI single and scored in a two-run first .

Dexter Fowler added two hits, drove in a run and scored one.

Contreras led off the fourth with a homer. Rizzo continued his resurgence with a solo drive in the fifth.

That was plenty for Hendricks, the major league ERA leader.

Hendricks left to a standing ovation after Josh Reddick singled with one out in the eighth. The only other hit Hendricks allowed was a single by Andrew Toles on the game’s first pitch.

Kershaw, dominant in Game 2, gave up five runs and seven hits before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth. He fell to 4-7 in the postseason.

The Dodgers haven’t been to the World Series since winning in 1988.

Playoffs

Randy Taylor/Taylor Photography Lynnville-Sully junior Brevin Hansen (8) follows a block by teammate senior Caden Dunsbergen (10) against Montezuma in Friday’s Class A District 6 game in Sully. Hansen scored on a 10-yard run and a 54-yard pass play and kicked both exra points for the Hawks in a 28-14 loss. The 8-1 Hawks head to the playoffs.

Lynnville-Sully Continued from Page 1B “We just made too many mistakes,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Mike Parkinson said following the fifth-ranked Hawks’ 28-14 loss to the 10th-ranked Braves Friday on Senior Night. “Montezuma stopped our running game. We have to run the ball — that’s who we are as a team.”

With the game final, both the Hawks and the Braves moved into the playoffs. Lynnville-Sully (8-1) travels to take on defending Class A champion Gladbrook-Reinbeck at 7 p.m. Friday in Gladbrook.

“We’re excited. Our kids had a great regular season, and yes, we wanted to win this one, but one game doesn’t make a season,” Parkinson said. “We’ll put this one behind us and get ready for the playoffs.”

The Braves held the Hawks to 30 yards on the ground. Lynnville-Sully went to the air to move the football, amassing 294 yards. The Hawks used the skills of senior Tyler Van Zante and junior Elijah Collins in the quarterback position in the game.

“Our plan was to use both Tyler and Elijah in the game. They each bring a lot to the table for us,” Parkinson said. “We moved

the ball up and down the field through the air in the second, but didn’t finish drives.”

Van Zante completed 15-of-24 for 216 yards and a touchdown.

He also threw three interceptions.

Collins went 11-of-20 for 78 yards and had one interception.

Montezuma struck first with a 4-yard touchdown run by Logan Price and Carson Losure tacked on the 2-point conversion run.

The Braves led 8-0 with 5:53 left in the first quarter.

Although Lynnville-Sully didn’t have a lot of success on the ground, the Hawks got on the scoreboard with a 10-yard rushing touchdown by junior Brevin Hansen. Hansen kicked the extra point to make it 8-7 at the 3:52 mark of the first period.

Van Zante connected with Hansen on a 54-yard TD pass at the end of the first quarter. Hansen’s kick made it 14-8, Neither team scored in the second quarter, and Lynnville-Sully took a 14-8 lead into halftime.

Losure intercepted a Hawk pass, returning it 19 yards for a touchdown. Jordan Bender had a 2-point conversion run to lift the Braves to a 16-14 lead with 8:44 left in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Montezuma got TD runs of 1 yard by Price and 31 yards by Losure to seal the victory. The Braves finished with 221 yards on 49 car-

ries led by Losure with 99 yards on 18 carries and Price with 62 yards on 19 carries. Price was 3-of-7 for 15 yards passing.

Hansen made 16 catches for 131 yards for the Hawks. Senior Caden Dunsbergen made five receptions for 116 yards. Junior Sage Zylstra carried the ball nine times for 17 yards and sophomore Evan Squires had 11 yards on five carries.

Sophomore Rylan James punted the ball four times for Lynnville-Sully for 177 yards, which was a 44-yard average.

Defensively, senior Ryan Hofer made 12 solo tackles and four assisted tackles while senior Dylan Roozeboom had four solo stops and six assisted tackles. Junior Carson Dunsbergen and Caden Dunsbergen were each credited with four solo tackles and four assisted tackles.

Lynnville-Sully and Montezuma finished district play at 6-1.

Clement carries No. 10 Wisconsin past Iowa IOWA CITY (AP) — Don’t count Wisconsin out of the Big Ten West race just yet.

Corey Clement ran for 134 yards and a touchdown and the 10th-ranked Badgers used a stout defense to beat Iowa 17-9 on Saturday, snapping a two-game skid.

Alex Hornibrook had 197 yards passing for the Badgers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten), who won for the fourth straight time in Iowa City.

Back-to-back losses to Ohio State and Michigan put Wisconsin in a hole in its own division. But the Badgers survived a late Iowa surge — and next week they get division favorite Nebraska at home.

“They persevered. They kept playing, and they did it together,” Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said.

Backup Bart Houston threw a touchdown pass for Wisconsin, and Clement’s 1-yard TD run put the Badgers up 14-6 midway through the third quarter.

But Wisconsin was carried by its defense. The Badgers allowed just 236 yards on 60 plays and held the Hawkeyes (5-3, 3-2) without a touchdown for the first time all season — just a week after they scored 49 points against Purdue.

C.J. Beathard had 153 yards passing for Iowa, which lost its third straight at home.

“There were some plays that we left out there. That certainly didn’t help our cause,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

AP Photo Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell (43) tackles Wisconsin running back Corey Clement (6) during the second half of Saturday’s Big Ten game in Iowa City. Wisconsin won 17-9.

The Hawkeyes’ offense, which has been inconsistent at times this season, bottomed out. Beathard hardly had any open receivers — and when he did, he missed them more than once. Iowa’s hopes for a run at the West title now seem dim, with Penn State, Michigan and Nebraska still on its schedule.

Down 14-6 midway

Eagles beat up Bradford, hand Vikings first loss PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A strong defense can only do so much.

Josh Huff returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, Carson Wentz outplayed Sam Bradford and the Philadelphia Eagles handed error-prone Minnesota its first loss, 21-10 on Sunday.

The Vikings relied on excellent defense and a mistake-free offense to start 5-0. But the Eagles exposed several of their weaknesses.

An offense missing both starting tackles and running back Adrian Peterson — not to mention QB Teddy Bridgewater — had big trouble Wentz against Philadelphia (4-2). Bradford was pressured all game and struggled for the first time in five games for his new team.

“We turned the ball over, we didn’t block people, we dropped balls, we got the quarterback hit, we gave up a 98-yard kickoff return, we fumbled a punt,” coach Mike Zimmer said. “So if you’re going to do those things, you have no chance to win.”

The Vikings have to figure things out quickly because they suddenly don’t look like the team to beat in the NFC North. They play at Chicago (1-6) next Monday, and then four of their next five opponents have a winning record with the other game against Arizona.

Meanwhile, the Eagles got back on track after two straight losses. They have a first-place showdown at Dallas (5-1) next Sunday night, and their next five opponents have winning records.

Here’s what we learned from Philadelphia’s win over Minnesota: Blitzing Bradford Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz used the blitz far more than usual, and it worked. The result was 19 hits on Bradford, six sacks, two recovered fumbles and one interception. Bradford seemed more concerned with avoiding the rush than keeping his eyes on downfield receivers.

“We knew traps would give him in trouble,” LB Connor Barwin said. “We knew when he gets pressure he likes to get the ball outside right away. And so we brought some of that pressure.”

Carson’s Growth Wentz had a rough first half, throwing two interceptions after only one pick in his first five games.

He also missed some open receivers. But the No. 2 overall draft pick settled in nicely and led a couple scoring drives.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Alex Smith huddled with Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy in front of his locker, not more than 15 minutes after Kansas City had beaten the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

If they were already dissecting his performance, they weren’t going to find many faults.

Smith threw two touchdown passes in another calm, efficient outing, and Daniel Sorensen returned an interSmith ception of Drew Brees for another score as the Chiefs held on for a 27-21 victory.

“Everybody trusts Alex, man. Alex is a pro,” said Tyreek Hill, who made an acrobatic 38-yard TD catch to help the Chiefs (4-2) win their ninth consecutive home game.

Smith was helped by another big game from Spencer Ware, the one-time fill-in for Jamaal Charles who’s become a star. He had 77 yards rushing to go with a 46-yard TD catch.

Brees tried to rally the Saints (2-4) once again, pulling them within 24-21 on a touchdown pass to Brandon Coleman with 2:33 left. But the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds, Kansas City added a field goal and the Saints could do nothing in the final 28 seconds to change the outcome.

Brees finished with 367 yards and three TD passes, and became the first player with 100 games with at least 300 yards passing. But much of that offense came while he was trying to rally his team. It was another uneven performance away from the Superdome for the New Orleans quarterback, who was coming off a 465-yard game last week against Carolina.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs showed some moxie after falling into an early 7-0 hole.

Ware’s touchdown on a screen pass and Sorensen’s pick-six off a batted ball quickly turned the momentum, and Hill added his long touchdown reception to make it 21-7 at the break.

Teed

less than four minutes left.

“I thought we did a pretty good job of keeping him under control. Then he popped that one at the end,” Ferentz said of Clement, who had 35 carries.

Iowa appeared to pull to 17-12 with less than a minute left on a touchdown catch by freshman Noah Fant — which was set up by a brilliant kick

return from Desmond King.

But the officials said the ball hit the turf during “the process of the catch.” The Hawkeyes elected to kick a field goal down 11 with 43 seconds left, but their subsequent on-side kick went out of bounds.

The Hawkeyes get their bye next week. They open November with a night game on the road against the Penn State.

little bit of breathing room.

Then Brad Keselowski suffered the same cruel elimination when his engine failed Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.

There was suddenly a wide-open competition to earn the final transfer spots into the third round of the Chase, and Denny Hamlin and Austin Dillon raced a tense final two laps in overtime Logano to fill the bracket. With each pushing for every last point, it was Hamlin who advanced into the round of eight on a tiebreaker over Dillon.

Joey Logano won at Talladega Superspeedway, and Hamlin edged Kurt Busch by .006 seconds for third place and the one point he needed to tie Dillon in the standings.

Dillon was ninth but lost the right to move into the next round based on average finish over the last three races.

Hamlin had told his Joe Gibbs Racing team not to give him points updates, and that lack of knowledge forced him to scramble through the final turn as he was undecided on how aggressive he needed to be.

With Truex and Keselowski out of the playoffs before the checkered flag, the suspense came down to final finishing order. Logano was not in a must-win situation, but the victory sure didn’t hurt.

Dillon, on a frantic dash over two overtime laps to gain as many spots as possible, called the outcome “heartbreaking.”

Also eliminated Sunday was Chase Elliott. Advancing are: Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Logano and Hamlin.

There are four Toyotas remaining in the field, all from Joe Gibbs Racing. Stewart-Haas Racing has Kurt Busch and Harvick — but the two had a heated exchange after the race over alleged contact on the last lap — while Hendrick Motorsports has Johnson for three Chevrolets in the field. Logano is the only Ford driver.

The race was stark difference from the spring stop in Alabama, when 35 cars were involved in at least one accident and two cars went airborne. And last year, it appeared that Kevin Harvick intentionally caused an accident on an overtime restart to help his championship chances.

Teed led the defense with 9.5 tackles and two tackles for loss. Nichols had five tackles and one sack, and senior Jimmy Camp finished with four tackles.

The Tigerhawks (1-8 overall, 1-6 in district play) rushed for 16 yards in 26 attempts.

Hunter Lott completed four passes for the Rebels, but two of those went for TDs. Gladbrook-Reinbeck (9-

0, 7-0) completed its first undefeated regular season in school history.

The defending Class A champions outscored district opponents 338-32.

The Rebels recorded three shutouts in their six district games.

Astrograph

A wise mind is neither fully logical nor fully emotional, but rather a synthesis of the two.

That is why it’s often prudent to check oneself, question the validity of thoughts, and observe in a detached way the intensity level of our feelings to gauge the appropriateness of our reactions. This message is brought to you by Mercury’s entrance into Scorpio.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 24). What was once the message of your secret heart will now be something you shout from the mountaintop, giving your wishes their best chance to come true. There’s a happy change in how you make your money before the end of the

year. Love will be your constant companion through 2017.

Gemini and Virgo adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 5, 9, 30, 44 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Changes at work are coming: This could be the luckiest turn of events that’s happened in months. To prepare yourself, bone up on your skills and make sure your client base is ample.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Exaggerate, minimize, glorify or vilify -- you’ll play with different ways to understand what happened to you. There’s more than one way that will ring true, fit and make sense, so

don’t be afraid to try different directions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

What’s making you anxious?

What do you not want to face?

It’s time to deal with it. If it were the only thing you did in this day, you would be most supremely satisfied at day’s end.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Some of the stressors can’t be eliminated yet, but you can combat fatigue by doing something every day that brings you joy. It’s funny that you still see this as a selfish move when it’s the move that will help you have more to give.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Certainly, there are frustrating aspects to living where you

do, but when you experience the kindness of people in your community, it makes you happy to be a part of it.

necessary to make a creative project fly. As for the external resources -- well, that’s what you’ll work on getting today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

As you teach, you learn. While you’re showing someone how to accomplish a task you will understand it in a different way, and you’ll see how it can be done better, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a difference between projecting yourself into a bright future and just wishing to be somewhere else, thereby wasting the moment you’re in.

It’s a day to give your full attention to the task at hand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Thinking too much will only complicate matters unnecessarily. This is one of those times when your energy is best spent doing, creating, acting and reacting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

With your combination of expertise, grit and passion, you have all the internal resources

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To an outsider, this is a very exciting thing you’re doing today. Even better is how you’re doing it -- with the smooth style of one who’s done it a million times, which you practically have.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Often being the bigger person

is about being the smaller person. Extreme greatness, in fact, is often achieved best by figuring out how to set others up to shine and then getting out of the way, so as not to overshadow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

To endure and prevail is to know great fortune. Therefore, any little bit of weirdness or challenge or discomfort that comes your way could be your conduit to stellar luck.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B To open the game, the Cardinals executed a squib kickoff. Combs’ kick bounced off an Indianola player and another Indian player fumbled the football on the opening play of the game. Combs, Newton’s placekicker, recovered the football to set the Cardinals up at the Indianola 47-yard line.

Six running plays later, Newton quarterback Garrett Sturtz pushed over the goal line from 1 yard out, and Combs kicked the extra point. Newton used senior running backs Jordan Norvell and Reese Rosenquist and sophomore running back Josh Miller to move the ball to the 1-yard line for Sturtz to score.

Senior offensive lineman Caden Manning pointed to the sky after the score, and every score afterward for the Cardinals.

“I would always touch the little logo TB (Trenton Brady) on the back of my helmet this season because every single touchdown we score is for him.

Tonight, I just wanted him to know so I pointed to the sky,” Manning said.

Indianola had quick-strike capabilities on offense. It took the Indians one play to tie the game with 9:14 left in the first quarter. A halfback pass from Kade Kolarik to Cale Smith went for 83-yard TD pass for the Indians.

Newton responded by going 70 yards in eight plays to take the lead for good on a 2-yard TD run by Norvell.

Norvell rushed for 112 yards on 18 carries.

“We did this for Trenton Brady. He was with us all season,” Norvell said after the game.

With 2:55 left in the first quarter, Newton’s defense made a stand at its 42-yard line.

“We just did it. We dug in and didn’t give an inch on the play,” Newton defensive lineman Caleb Kite said. “This win and going 6-3 means a lot to us.”

The Cardinals prevented Indianola quarterback Joe Jensen from picking up a fourth-and-1 play. Newton’s offense stayed the course, moving to the Indianola 14 by the end of the first quarter.

Miller, who had 37 yards on 11 carries, rushed for eight yards on the first play of the second quarter. Rosenquist, who finished with 170 yards on 30 carries, had a 7-yard carry to put the ball at the 1-yard line.

Miller bulled over the goal line at the 11:17 mark and Combs added the extra-point kick for a 21-7 lead. The Indians were forced to punt on their next possession, which went only 16 yards.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior offensive lineman Caden Manning (53) points to the sky in honor of the Cardinals’ late teammate Trenton Brady following a touchdown by Newton in Friday’s game against Indianola. Manning said every touchdown the team scored this season was for Brady. Newton beat Indianola, 45-28, on Senior Night to finish the season.

It took one play — a 50-yard TD dash by Sturtz to put Newton up 28-7.

“I was proud of our defense tonight.

Yes, Indianola had some big plays, but the guys played very well defensively,” Ergenbright said. “We ran the ball a school-record 75 times, but we had some key pass plays and Garrett scrambled for key plays. He really played great tonight in leading our offense.”

Newton’s old mark for carries in a single game was 69 against Marshalltown in 1991.

The Indians put together an 80yard scoring drive on seven plays featuring a two long runs by Kolarik. Kolarik capped the march with a 2-yard touchdown run to make it 28-14 by halftime.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News No where to go — Newton High’s Caleb Kite and others didn’t give an inch or a yard on a fourth-and-1 play for Indianola. Joe Jensen (2), the Indians’ quarterback was stopped short on the play in the first quarter in Newton’s 45-28 win Friday.

NCMP Continued from Page 1B four-time NCIC team title, placing third with 229 points.

Decorah claimed the conference championship with 430 points, just ahead of Boone with 424 points.

Grinnell was fourth with 101 points followed by meet host Vinton-Shellsburg/ Union with 82 points, Oskaloosa with 74 points and Williamsburg with 30 points.

The conference meet was held at the Central Middle School pool in Waterloo.

“It was a solid meet for NCMP. We were missing three swimmers and mixed up the lineup before our regional meet,”

NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said.

“The taper people swam well, and the ones not tapering swam as to be expected. They were a little rough, but with Patterson rest this week, we’ll be ready on Saturday.”

NCMP heads to a regional swim meet at noon on Saturday hosted by Southeast Polk in Pleasant Hill.

The Aquagirls made the podium in seven of the 12 events, placing in the top six places.

NCMP opened the conference meet with a second-place finish in the 200-medley relay

“When we came out in the third quarter, my mindset was this was my last game and I was going to fight my best for these guys,” senior offensive lineman Lucas Montgomery said.

“This season has been very emotional after losing Trenton before the season. We stepped up and became one — played together, cried together and worked together. We didn’t go 9-0 as everyone would love to do but 6-3 — it was an amazing season for us.”

After Newton took a 31-14 lead, the Indians struck again quickly on a 73yard pass play from Jensen to Chris Ewoldsen. It was 31-21 with 2:12 left in the third quarter.

Newton responded with its power running game, chewing up yards and time off the clock. Rosenquist finished a 14-play, 78-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge into the end zone at the 7:57 mark of the fourth quarter. The drive had two fourth-down play conversions and a third-and-7 pass from Sturtz to Trevor Ergenbright for 45 yards.

Sturtz threw only five passes, completing four in the game for 72 yards.

All four catches were made by Ergenbright.

Jensen connected with Kolarik for a 41-yard touchdown pass play a minute later to make it a 10-point game again, 38-28.

Newton drove to the Indians’ 8-yard line but a fourth-down pass play was incomplete giving the ball to Indianola with 2:09 remaining in the game.

Jensen completed a short pass to Cole Scott, but senior defensive back Keith Steinbach forced a fumble. Rosenquist recovered the ball for Newton.

Rosenquist got the call on the first play at the 6-yard line. He made a dive into the end zone at the end of the run for the final score of the night.

Indianola reached its 49-yard line

race. The team of Lakin Jenkins, Blommers, Emily Miller and Sarah Prendergast posted a time of 1:58, out-touching Decorah, 1:58.06.

Midway through the meet, the foursome of Blommers, Jaclyn Michener, Jessica Zahn and Jenkins placed third in the 200 freestyle relay. The four combined for a time of 1:50.59.

Blommers was on the podium in the 200 individual medley, taking fourth in 2:29.21, and later for the breaststroke.

Miller earned fourth place in the 100 butterfly in 1:06.47.

Prendergast claimed fourth in the 50 freestyle in 27.32 seconds. Zahn placed sixth in the 100 freestyle in 1:01.22.

“Freshman Abbie Hill had an outstanding meet, bettering her personal best in the

on its next possession, but Newton’s Jaron Roush sealed the victory with an interception with 46 seconds left.

“As a group, people had minimal expectations for us this season. We stepped up and made plays when we needed to tonight,” Steinbach said.

“This was an amazing season to go 6-3.”

Senior linebacker Brady Smith missed most of the Southeast Polk game and all of the Valley game because of an injury. He was in there for the final game.

“We had that fire back tonight. We had the energy level throughout the game,” Smith said.

Rosenquist led the Newton defense with one solo tackle and seven assisted tackles. Blayden Rhone had two solo stops and two assisted tackles. Kite, Miller and Joe Busch each were credited with five assisted tackles. Miller and Smith combined for a quarterback sack.

“We moved up to 4A and everyone doubted us. Tonight we finished things. Our backs ran hard and our offensive line was blocking like we’ve never done before. It was great,” Miller said. “It’s tough to put in words what it means to go 6-3 for me. We honored Trenton in the best way tonight.”

Manning said stepping up to Class 4A was a challenge for the team, but the seniors and underclassmen came together and played football.

“Our hard work in the offseason produced the resulted we wanted.

Sure, we wanted to be in the playoffs, but going 6-3 is a great way to go out,” Manning said.

“Our senior kids have been through a lot with losing a teammate. It inspired them. I told the our kids to carry Trenton’s spirit with them always.

He will be with us all season,” Ergenbright said. “These young men honored Trenton by playing and behaving as Trenton lived his life as a great teammate, working hard and being accountable.”

Ergenbright was already working on preparing for next season. He said the Cardinals have to find a way to play more competitively against the bigger schools such as Fort Dodge, Southeast Polk and West Des Monies Valley.

Newton finished 2-3 in Class 4A District 4 action.
