Grassley’s wife stumps for senator in Newton Seeks seventh term in U.S. Senate

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Lauterbach Buick GMC’s new location opened Oct. 17 at 2900 First Ave. E. The dealership now offers more inventory and more space.

Lauterbach Buick GMC’s new location brings more space, inventory

Barbara Grassley spent much of her hour in Newton on Friday discussing how she thinks Hillary Clinton isn’t qualified to be president.

However, another topic that came up as she discussed her husband’s run for a seventh term in Congress was “The Full Grassley,” and how tough it is for senators like Chuck Grassley to get to all of their home states’ counties.

About 15 Republicans spent an hour with Barbara Grassley at Newton’s Bridgehouse Coffee, discussing various election topics.

She arrived at Newton from

Grinnell, walking through the door shortly after news broke about new information being considered in Hillary Clinton’s classified email investigation, so that became a major topic in the discussion.

Grassley, (R-New Hartford), 83, who has served as one of Iowa’s senators since he was first elected in 1980, has also been married to Barbara for 62 years. He’s the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and holds other roles in the Senate, but Barbara said he always tries to get out to all 99 counties in Iowa each year.

Jon Dunwell, of Newton, asked Barbara Grassley about the decline in camaraderie in Washington, and how members of Congress spend so much time fundraising and attending functions, there GRASSLEY | 3A

Dealership opened this month

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Lauterbach Buick GMC opened its newly polished dealership this month on First Avenue East.

After nearly two years of planning, construction and preparation, the seven-acre lot sits on the edge of town at 2900 First Ave. E. with more inventory and a lot more space.

Owner Jason Lauterbach said the plan for the updated facility was nailed down in June 2015, and demolition started January 2016.

Lauterbach said the main reason for the extensive upgrade was to bring the dealership up to specs with General

“A big difference at this location is the access,” Lauterbach said. “There are three different drives to pull in on from the road, more parking for service and sales customers and a separate car detailing area.”

Newton inmate dies of natural causes

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Iowa prison officials say an inmate at the Newton Correctional Facility has died of natural causes.

Ernest M. Christensen, 66, was found unresponsive at 11 a.m. Thursday and was later pronounced dead.

After Christensen was found, health service and security staff responded and used emergency medical protocols but were unable to revive him. An autopsy report showed he died of natural causes due to coronary artery disease.

Christensen was serving a 10 year sentence for third-degree sex abuse in Osceola County. He had been at the facility since July 2013.

Trail of Terror fundraiser a scream

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News BAXTER — Deep in the woods, far off of the beaten path, screams of terror could be heard for hours on end near Baxter Friday. Local residents need not worry, though, because it was all for a good cause and a good time.

Baxter Fun Days Committee second annual Trail of Terror wrapped up its second weekend of providing a fun, frightening experience for thrill seekers from across central Iowa. Located at Ashton Wildwood Park, the half mile trail brought all of the

“It is a walking

To get to the trail, participants must first drive to rural Jasper County, past an old country church with neighboring cemetery and down a winding path surrounded by timber. After a brief walk in the dark the site comes into view, complete with scary music and backlit ghosts.

REG delivers first life sciences product

Jamee A. Pierosn/Daily News The lanes are packed for the Wednesday morning women’s league at Cardinal Lanes Bowling Alley. Owners Brian and Lisa McKinney are celebrating one year owning the bowling alley.

McKinneys celebrate one year at Cardinal Lanes

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Cardinal Lanes Bowling Alley is celebrating its one year anniversary with new owners Brian and Lisa McKinney. The longtime Newton attraction at 1300 S. Fifth Ave. E. is also celebrating 45 years as a member of the Iowa Bowling Proprietors Association.

Since purchasing the business, the McKinneys have put in a substantial amount of work to the building and the bowling system.

New pin spotters have replaced the 1950s models previously used.

“The new pin spotters have made all of the difference in the world. We had heard how horrible it was, and it would take four hours to get through league because they were in such poor shape, dropping pins,” Lisa McKinney said. “They work really well now.”

Although it was been a fun

first year, McKinney said it has also been challenging opening the business. From investments in the roof, flooring, kitchen and overall decor of the bowling alley to the ins and outs of the scoring system, McKinney said she and her husband have learned a lot.

“It has been very interesting. I had no idea that I could learn so much new stuff,” McKinney said.

“It has also been a learning curve after starting with a new point of sales system and learning the bowling scoring system.”

With a lot of the initial work out of the way, Cardinal Lanes is looking to grow in several areas.

McKinney recently purchased new kitchen equipment to expand what food is available at the bowling alley along with giving those renting the facility more options.

They are also hoping to grow the league bowling again and bring families back to the alley.

“We have come up with some packages so it is affordable for

a family to come. That is what we want, we want the families,” McKinney said.

To attract more families, cosmic bowling, where the lights are turned off and the bowling alley has glow in the dark features, was moved up to 6 p.m. from 9 p.m. on Saturdays. A new special has also been added including a large pizza, pitcher of pop and an hour and a half of bowling for four people for $40.

McKinney said the bowling alley is also open to rent for birthday parties, holiday parties or fundraisers for those in the community.

“We want to be able to help our community in that way,” McKinney said.

AMES — REG Life Sciences, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Renewable Energy Group has delivered its first commercial product, a specialty fatty acid, the company announced.

REG developed, produced and delivered approximately one metric ton of the renewable, multi-functional chemical to Aroma Chemical Services International, a leading specialty manufacturer and supplier of flavor and fragrance ingredients. REG has been actively working with ACS to identify, develop and bring to market fragrance and flavor derivatives based on the REG Life Sciences’ proprietary technology. ACS will use the specialty chemical for the production of a high performance musk ingredient for sale into the $620 million global musk ingredient market.

“We are proud to have achieved this key milestone and are confident that the musk will enjoy commercial success, creating growing demand for our multi-functional fatty acid,” said Eric M. Bowen, head of REG Life Sciences and Vice President, Corporate Business Development & Legal Affairs.

Iowa Workforce Development names new deputy director DES MOINES — Iowa Workforce Development recently announced Myron Linn has been hired as the agency’s new deputy director.

Linn formerly worked at Pella Corporation, holding several leadership and government relations positions, and is a former high school mathematics and physics teacher. He is past chair of the boards for the Iowa Association of Business and Industry and the Iowa Taxpayers Association. He previously served on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Labor Relations Committee and the National Association of Manufacturers Health Care Committee in Washington D.C. Linn designed the Unemployment Compensation Tax System currently in use in Iowa, called the Benefit Ratio Array System, in 1987. He currently serves as State Director for the Selective Service System in the State of Iowa, a position he has held since 1995.

Stocks wilt after FBI inquiry into new Clinton emails which would stand to benefit most from a pickup in economy, but the gains disappeared after the FBI made its announcement at about 1 p.m. Eastern.

Clinton has led in recent polls, and the surprise development added new uncertainty just a week and a half before the presidential election.

“I think the betting has to be that there’s nothing too damning, but we don’t know,” said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial Network.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 8.49 points, less than 0.1 percent, at 18,161.19. The index was 80 points higher shortly before the new inquiry was disclosed, then went down as much as 74 points in the minutes that followed.

Monster Dash a real scare

Patty Judge to meet with voters in Newton Newton Daily News U.S. Senate candidate Patty Judge will meet with voters in Newton to discuss her campaign and “how to get the Senate working for Iowa families again.”

Judge will be in Newton from 4 to 5 p.m. Monday at Uncle Nancy’s Coffee Shop. This event is Judge open to the public.

Photos by Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Members of the Newton Girls Cross Country team get ready to bring the fright during the inaugural Monster Dash Fun Run on Saturday.

Grassley Continued from Page 1A isn’t time for racquetball or the other activities where members of opposite parties got to know each other.

“They used to be in D.C. for a bigger chunk of the year,” Barbara Grassley said. “First, Congress would always recess in June. The kids would go to school in Des Moines in the fall and in D.C. at the start of January, and had friends and activities both places.

Now, especially the chopped-

up schedule and with Chuck holding town halls and hitting all 99 counties, he isn’t in D.C. as much.”

There was also plenty of criticism of the Democratic Party, especially President Barack Obama, from both the senator’s wife and those in attendance, along some discussion about the voting process and how gridlocked Washington, D.C. has become in general.

Barbara Grassley said her husband is in great shape, and gets up at 4 a.m. each day he’s at home in Iowa to

Smith said the turnout during year two had already doubled compared to year one with the final night yet to come. He also said they saw a lot more visitors from outside of Jasper County.

“It went fairly good for the first year out. This year there has been a lot more people,” Smith said. “The first night we had one group from Baxter and the rest were from Ankeny and Des Moines. I think there is only two in Des Moines, so instead of

“Chuck is scared of heights,” Barbara Grassley said. “He called me and said ‘I’m down from the windmill.’

I pictured him climbing up a rickety ladder. Turns out it’s the only windmill in the state of Iowa with an elevator.”

The trail received rave reviews by those who attended.

Many people walked out of breath, smiling and some even wanted to go again.

“It was good,” Courtney Christanson said. “The chainsaw was good and the people that sat there until you were gone and then followed you was scary.”

All money made from the trail is used for Baxter Fun Days, the city’s annual community festival.

“It is a good, money maker for us that is fun to do,” Smith said. “Hopefully we’ll just keep getting bigger and bigger and as we grow the crowd we can add more to it.”

The senator has been consistent polling ahead of Democratic challenger Patty Judge, who is set to make a appearance in person in Newton on Monday afternoon.

Lauterbach Continued from Page 1A The immense space is Lauterbach’s favorite thing about the new location.

“It’s something we struggled with at the other location, the delivery truck would have trouble coming in and out,” he said. “This space allows for plans to grow in the future.”

Inside the dealership, there is a lobby with a large sitting area, TV, coffee and water, and a children’s table.

Lauterbach said since the grand opening on Oct. 17, the dealership has precipitated a lot of traffic and curiosity.

“We have had a lot of curious people who wanted to see how it had changed,” he said.

A few employees who worked at the dealership in the 60s even paid a visit to the new location.

Lauterbach said he hopes the dealership made things look a little better on the east side of town.

“I appreciate the community’s positive comments,” he said. “I look forward to being here for the next 35 years.”

A ribbon cutting ceremony for Lauterbach Buick is set for Dec. 1.

Tips To Protect Your Vision One of the first things you can do to protect your eyes is to wear sunglasses with protection against UV-A and UV-B radiation. Don’t smoke; smoking raises the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Eat foods rich in lutein such as kale, spinach, Swiss chard, peas, romaine lettuce, zucchini and broccoli. Walk, bike or run; these exercises reduced the risk of cataracts. Keep blood pressure and blood sugar levels in the normal range.

Lose excess weight. Get your eyes examined regularly by your eye care professional.

Eye exams can spot certain eye diseases such as glaucoma that have no symptoms and are important to catch early.

The theme for this event is:

​ aunts of H Halloween T

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

he walls are “closing in” and the darkness overtakes you. Your breathing becomes ragged, as though you can’t fill your lungs even if you tried. Your heart is pounding in your ears, blocking any sound. You begin to look for an escape or anything that gets you out of the small, dark space around you. You’re filled with fear and panic, terrified you won’t ever find a way out.

‘Tis the season for the spooky and scary to come out when the night becomes pitch black with nothing but the moon and stars to light your way. I like Halloween; however, my comfort level of spookiness compares to Disney’s “Hocus Pocus” rather than “Nightmare on Elm Street.” While horror is not my genre of choice, I have been branching out more in my adulthood and have found I can watch some “scary”

movies without getting nightmares.

Because of this, I thought I could possibly handle attending a haunted house for the first time with my boyfriend, Tim. It is one of his family’s Halloween traditions.

We had planned to go with his whole family group, but even the best of plans get changed. A promise is a promise after all, and I told Tim we could still go — just the two of us.

We ended up at the Marengo Haunted Barn for my maiden voyage into a night of haunts. We paid our admission and waited until we were allowed access.

My heart began to pound, and I was shaking a little when the door first slammed shut behind us and all that lit our way was splattered neon paint. I held tight to Tim’s hand as he led me through the tight confines of the area.

I was as startled as anyone could be when people — most of them in masks — popped out at you and followed. The silent lady who trailed us for a while gave me the creeps, and she wasn’t even wearing an elaborate costume. Some of the clowns were chatty while others just stared at you, but as frightened as I felt, I was getting through it and only mildly praying the nightmare would end.

The tight maze led us briefly outside then back into the barn. When the curtain closed, it was pitch black. Tim tried to find the way, but we were stuck momentarily unable to find the passage. Tim thinks they purposefully blocked the door on the first try to make you panic.

Well, it worked.

I started to tremble, my flight instincts kicked in and I started to go backwards. I dragged Tim back outside, unable to say much except “no” and “I can’t.” Something on my face must have scared him enough to know I was serious and was truly terrified. He got out his phone and shined the light to find our way through the rest of

the tight maze.

Even when he got yelled at by clowns to shut off the light, Tim held firm saying he needed to get me out of the dark. We got to the end, where there were more clowns revving chainsaws trying to get you to run. Tim told me to walk, otherwise they would chase us. He didn’t have to tell me that twice. We walked out of the archway and safely to our car. My panic finally started to subside.

Once I was back to normal, I felt bad — knowing this was something Tim enjoys to do, and I couldn’t handle it. He assured it was all right and these types of things weren’t for everyone. Obviously, they aren’t for me.

I can’t say I’ll never try it again. When we told his parents, they thought a bigger group might be better; so I’d be in the middle instead on the end. I’m still not so sure.

That second try may take another 29 years of convincing. I’ll stick to my Disney Halloween movies for now.

Eye on America John Stossel

The ruling class America is often described as a society without the Old World’s aristocracy. Yet we still have people who feel entitled to boss the rest of us around. The “elite” media, the political class, Hollywood and university professors think their opinions are obviously correct, so they must educate us peasants.

OK, so they don’t call us “peasants” anymore. Now we are “deplorables” — conservatives or libertarians.

Or Trump supporters.

The elite have a lot of influence over how we see things.

I don’t like Donald Trump. I used to. I once found him refreshing and honest. Now I think he’s a mean bully. I think that partly because he mocked a disabled person. I saw it on TV. He waved his arms around to mimic a New York Times reporter with a disability — but wait!

It turns out that Trump used the same gestures and tone of speech to mock Ted Cruz and a general he didn’t’ like. It’s not nice, but it doesn’t appear directed at a disability.

I only discovered this when researching the media elite. Even though I’m a media junkie, I hadn’t seen the other side of the story. The elite spoon-fed me their version of events.

Another reason I don’t like Trump is that he supported the Iraq war — and then lied about that. Media pooh-bahs told me Trump pushed for the war years ago on The Howard Stern Show.

But then I listened to what Trump actually said.

“Are you for invading Iraq?” Stern asked.

Trump replied, “Yeah, I guess ... so.” Later, on Neil Cavuto’s show, Trump said, “Perhaps (Bush) shouldn’t be doing it yet, and perhaps we should be waiting for the United Nations.” I wouldn’t call that “support” — the way NBC’s debate moderator and many others have.

I was stunned by how thoroughly the media have distorted Trump’s position. That’s a privilege you get when you’re part of the media elite: You get to steer the masses’ thinking.

At the second debate, we all know that Trump walked over to Hillary Clinton’s podium, as if he was “stalking Ms. Clinton like prey,” said The New York Times. CNN said, “Trump looms behind Hillary Clinton at the debate.”

Afterward, Clinton went on Ellen DeGeneres’ show and said Trump would “literally stalk me around the stage, and I would just feel this presence behind me. I thought, ‘Whoa, this is really weird.’”

But it was a lie. Watch the video. Clinton walked over to Trump’s podium. Did the mainstream media tell you that? No. The ruling class has its themes, and it sticks to them.

When Clinton wore white to a debate, the Times called the color an “emblem of hope” and a Philadelphia Inquirer writer used words like “soft and strong ... a dream come true.” But when Melania Trump wore white, that same writer called it a “scary statement,” as if Melania Trump’s white symbolized white supremacy, “another reminder that in the G.O.P. white is always right.”

Give me a break.

The ruling class decide which ideas are acceptable, which scientific theories to believe, what speech is permitted.

In the book “Primetime Propaganda,” Ben Shapiro writes that the Hollywood ruling class calls conservatives “moral scum.”

He says, “If you’re entering the industry, you have to keep (your beliefs) under wraps because nobody will hire you ... they just assume you’re a bad person.”

They won’t tell you why you weren’t hired. They just tell you, “You weren’t right for the part,” explains Shapiro. “Talent is subjective, which means that it’s pretty easy to find an excuse not to call back the guy who voted for George W. Bush.”

Mom resents supporting her daughter who’s deep in debt DEAR ABBY: My 34-year-old daughter, “Martha,” is a single mom.

I adore my granddaughter. Martha needs me to give her $500 a month, plus cover emergencies (new tires, hospital bills for baby, etc.) in order to get by. She has said repeatedly that she wants to have another baby before she’s 35.

Abby, it’s a financial burden to help her as much as we have. My husband (her stepdad) believes, along with me, that we should help until her finances improve. Martha is awash in student debt and has a low-paying job. She lives 12 hours away, so we have to fly out to see them, which means we don’t see them often.

My question: How can I tell her that having a second baby when she can’t support the first is something I can’t handle financially? I am becoming resentful. Our retirement has been dismal because all our money is going to her.

My daughter has a hair-trigger temper and would use access to my granddaughter as leverage to keep the money coming. I’m appalled that she’s in this position and upset that I have to pay for her choices. — APPALLED IN OHIO DEAR APPALLED: You DON’T have to pay for your daughter’s choices.

Tell Martha that as an adult it is HER responsibility — not yours — to provide for herself and her child, and that if she becomes pregnant before her finances improve to the point that she’s self-supporting, not to expect one more penny from you.

Please consider starting to reduce the amount you give her and set a deadline beyond which you will no longer supplement her income. Martha may need to find a second job, but that’s better than you spending all your retirement money shouldering her responsibilities.

Expect her to be angry. If she threatens to blackmail you with access to your grandchild, tell her that the per-

son she’ll be punishing is the little one, not you, and stick to your guns.

DEAR ABBY: My husband has purchased different pieces of equipment over the years. He recently bought a small tractor that he’s very proud of and enjoys using around our property. He also has purchased a large trailer that he often uses to haul his equipment and other things.

His problem is friends who seem to think they can help themselves to his stuff. They actually have the audacity to say, “I may borrow your tractor, trailer, etc., tomorrow.” I find this to be rude in that they are not asking — they are TELLING him they will.

I told him to say he doesn’t loan his equipment out, but he can’t seem to be able to say that. Do you have a good comeback that he could use without offending his friends? — FRAZZLED WIFE DEAR FRAZZLED: You, not your husband, appear to be the person with the problem. Nowhere in your letter did you mention that HE thinks he has one. If he resents what these friends are doing, a solution might be for him to tell them to talk to YOU about borrowing the equipment, so you can refuse for him.

A NOTE TO PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN: If your little ones will be out trick-or-treating tonight, please be sure they are supervised to assure their safety.

Officials say the Algona facility is the 13th to be closed as part of a statewide National Guard consolidation and facilities upgrade program.

CHARLES CITY — A man accused of stealing a police badge from the lobby of the Charles City Police Department has pleaded guilty.

Isaia Weber entered the plea Friday to misdemeanor charges of theft and criminal mischief. He’s scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 7.

Police say officers found the badge among guns, drugs and drug-related items seized during a search of a Charles City home.

Man wants new trial in daughter’s death DUBUQUE — A Dubuque man who was convicted this fall of killing his 27-yearold daughter wants a new trial even before he has been sentenced.

Robert Stern, 63, filed a motion for a new trial last week in the June 2015 death of Kimberly Stern. Stern’s lawyers say the first trial was unfair because his initial statements to police and certain crime scene photos were allowed to be presented.

Iowa justices who decided gay marriage face retention vote DES MOINES (AP) — Three Iowa Supreme Court justices who helped legalize gay marriage in the state seven years ago will face voters on Nov. 8 for the first time since the ruling, but they are refusing to campaign for their jobs because they argue the courts should remain above politics.

The justices up for retention votes in next week’s election are taking the same approach as three judges who appeared to pay a price for their stands

when voters in 2010 removed them from office after a costly campaign waged by gay marriage opponents.

The judges now on the ballot have said little about the vote, but two of those removed from the court told The Associated Press they don’t regret their choice not to campaign even though they knew opponents were organizing a high-profile effort to oust them.

“I think it’s dangerous when politics are injected into the

courts and I think that is what happened in 2010,” former Chief Justice Marsha Ternus said. “If voters vote on judges or justices based on their views of issues rather than what the law requires, what they’re telling judges to do is to ignore the law when popular opinion wants them to do so. Then, we’re not a country based on the rule of law and that’s a dangerous path to go down.”

Ternus, along with justices Michael Streit and David Bak-

er, failed to receive the majority vote needed to remain in office for another eight years.

Each of them received less than 45 percent, marking the first time Supreme Court justices were removed from office by voters since the retention system was established in 1962.

The three justices in 2009 had joined in a unanimous 7-0 ruling that found a ban on same-sex marriage violated the state constitution, making Iowa the third state to legalize

the practice. At the time, 29 states had constitutional bans on gay marriage and the issue remained highly contentious throughout the country.

Like Ternus, Baker said he didn’t regret not campaigning.

“If you’re going to do that you have to go out and solicit funds and, whether you do or you don’t, the perception is that you owe somebody,” Baker said. “I’m still of the belief that politics and judges are a bad mix.”

Auditor probe of Money pours in for anti-pipeline county employees who protest, but will it last?

CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The crowdsourcing goal was modest: $5,000, enough to help a few dozen people camping in North Dakota to protest the nearby construction of the four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline. The fund has since topped a staggering $1 million.

The fund is among several cash streams that have provided at least $3 million to help with legal costs, food and other supplies to those opposing the nearly 1,200-mile pipeline. It may also give protesters the ability to prolong their months-long encampments that have attracted thousands of supporters, as the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe pursues the fight in court.

And as the number of protest-related arrests increased this week, so did contributions — the funds raked in more than $200,000 between Thursday and Friday alone.

But demonstrators are quick to note that the amount of money raised and what they have left isn’t the same.

“It still feels unreal sometimes because it is such an astronomical figure to me,” said Ho Waste Wakiya Wicasa, the protester who set

up the GoFundMe account that has raised more than $1 million mostly for operating expenses at the camp, which took root in April.

“The money goes as quickly as it comes, but without it having been as much as it is, we certainly wouldn’t have been able to be as productive as we have been in the

fight,” he said.

For months now, opponents of the $3.8 billion pipeline — which is slated to move oil from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois — have been camping near the confluence of the Missouri and Cannonball rivers.

CARROLL (AP) — A newspaper investigation shows two Carroll County Sheriff ’s employees used county equipment and other resources to promote and conduct gun classes from which they collected tens of thousands of dollars, and now the state auditor’s office is investigating.

Deputy Tom Fransen and Administrative Assistant Shanna Balukoff have held the classes since December 2010 — mostly in the county courthouse — and charged $50 per person, the Carroll Daily Times Herald reported Saturday.

Those who attend the classes get a certificate they can use to obtain a permit from the sheriff ’s office to openly carry a firearm.

The county received none of the money from the classes, even though the certificates say, “Sponsored by the Carroll County Sheriff ’s Office.” The classes have been heavily promoted on the county’s website and Facebook pages and Fransen also used a county laptop and projector for the presentations, the Times Herald said.

State law does not allow public employees to use public resources for personal gain.

Fransen, Balukoff and Sheriff Ken Pingrey defended the classes in interviews with the newspaper, and Pingrey said his office is cooperating with the state auditor’s investigation.

“We told them we were happy to give them whatever they need,” Pingrey said. “We have nothing to hide.”

Italy’s premier vows help for 15,000+ displaced by quakes NORCIA, Italy (AP) — Italy’s premier pledged Monday to find temporary housing for all those displaced by a series of powerful earthquakes in a central mountainous region, as the nation’s strongest temblor in 36 years pushed those needing assistance to more than 15,000.

Some communities, however, resisted relocation.

Sunday morning’s quake with a magnitude 6.6 caused no deaths or serious injuries, largely because most fragile city centers had already been closed because of previous damage and many homes had been vacated.

But it did complicate quake relief efforts in a zone still coping with the aftermath of an August earthquake that killed nearly 300 and a pair of powerful aftershocks last week that claimed no lives. Civil protection authorities are still providing housing to 2,000 people displaced from the August quake.

The premier’s pledge for housing comes amid increasing reports of residents resisting relocation, either because they have businesses to tend to, not infrequently involving livestock, or in the belief that if their homes are still standing they remain the safest place to be.

Civil protection officials said they expect the number of people needing assistance to continue to rise, as it doesn’t count the many people who slept in vehicles or made

other arrangements and are likely to seek help.

Temperatures overnight reached near freezing, and officials have expressed concern for the many elderly residents of these mountain communities.

“We cannot have tents for some months in the mountains, under the snow,” Premier Matteo Renzi wrote in a message on Monday. “There are enough hotels for everyone. But many of our compatriots don’t want to leave their lands, not even for some weeks.”

Civil protection authorities have urged people to move out of the quake zone, citing the difficulty of putting up tent cities in the mountainous region and the onset of winter. Many people have been moved to coastal areas, where

The mayor of Preci, a town of some 700 people 60 kilometers southeast of Perugia in Umbria, appealed to authorities to send campers, tents or containers, saying people did not want to leave their homes and businesses. He said up to 400 people preferred to brave the cold in tents rather than move.

Colfax-Mingo’s Hostetter ends career with state medal No. 5 CMB finishes fifth in girls’ team race

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — Colfax-Mingo senior Dakota Hostetter could feel the end of her running career approaching as she came down the home stretch of her final high school cross country race.

In the past, Hostetter may have just stayed back and accepted her finish.

Not Saturday. Not in her final Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships.

Hostetter was sitting on the edge of her first state medal when she took off for the finish line at a faster pace than nor-

mal, and the strong kick earned her that elusive medal at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course.

Hostetter finished ninth in the Class 1A girls’ race with a time of 20 minutes, 18.1 seconds and completed a fouryear career that included four top-22 finishes on the state’s biggest stage.

“It feels pretty good. I always get to the point in the race where I don’t care what I do and where I finish, but today when I got close to the home stretch I knew I just had to go all out even if I killed myself,” Hostetter said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Finding her tempo in the water, NCMP sophomore Lindsey Blommers leaves the regional field behind her in the 100-yard breaststroke Saturday. Blommers won a regional championship in the event, posting a team-record time of 1:04.61, which was the fastest time in the state this season. Blommers also is on the NCMP state-meet qualified 200 medley relay team with seniors Emily Miller and Sarah Prendergast and sophomore Lakin Jenkins.

Blommers is regional breaststroke champ; NCMP medley relay to state

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PLEASANT HILL — Watching a breaststroke race, it is clear this swim stroke is all about tempo.

Lindsey Blommers has been in tempo in the water all season.

She broke team records, lowering her own time in the 100yard breaststroke.

The NCMP sophomore went

up-tempo Saturday in the Iowa regional swim meet in the Southeast Polk High swimming pool, and no one caught her.

“My coaches and I have discussed it, and I’m more of a last 50-yard swimmer. It takes me awhile to find my tempo in the race,” Blommers said following her turn atop the regional podium Saturday. “I work my way into it. I didn’t see anybody next to me during the whole race, so I was

hoping I was doing a good job.”

Going into the regional meet, she had the third fastest time — 1 minute, 7.41 seconds — and Blommers said her goal time was 1:06. She was up against three swimmers from state powerhouse Ames — sophomore Molly Winer (1:06.79), and seniors Grace Snyder (1:07.04) and Sabrina Hegelheimer (1:09.94).

Rebels end Hawks’ season in playoffs

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GLADBROOK — One team, One dream.

The Lynnville-Sully football team’s dream is always — like every other team in Iowa — a state championship. The Hawks were working for that dream while their Class A first-round playoff opponent Gladbrook-Reinbeck was after a repeat state championship.

“Maybe going out in the first round doesn’t seem like the dream, but these young men had a tremendous season,” Hawk head coach Mike Parkinson said after Friday’s 13-6 loss to the Rebels. “To get into the playoffs as it is set up this season, our kids rose to the occasion. To rally from 14 points down to beat New London was a huge win for us. We have a great deal to celebrate.”

Parkinson said Friday’s game against the No. 2-ranked Rebels started out the way the 10thranked Hawks wanted it to, Junior Carson Dunsbergen’s opening kickoff return set up the Hawks in G-E territory. Two plays later, junior running back Sage Zylstra dashed up the middle for a 38-yard touchdown run.

MONROE — Players on the Prairie City-Monroe football’s teams offensive and defensive lines knew they could be the difference in the Mustangs’ Class 2A opening round playoff game against Roland-Story on Friday.

The Norsemen came into the contest with nearly 2,000 rushing yards on offense, and the defense entered the game with 22 sacks.

The formula was simple for the Mustangs up front: Stop the run on defense and make sure quarterback Sheldon

Speers stayed upright on offense.

While the Norsemen’s two best defensive players recorded one sack each, the offensive line still paved the way for PCM to gain 500 total yards, and the defense held Roland-Story to only three yards rushing.

That dominance in the trenches added up to another blowout victory as sixthranked PCM routed its Heart of Iowa Conference rival, 38-7.

The Mustangs advanced to the quarterfinals of the playoffs for the first time since finishing 11-1 in 2011.

Cross Country: Twelve area harriers run at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course Continued from Page 1B It was a strong day for area harriers at the state meet.

C ollins-Maxwell/B axter’s girls team finished in the same spot as its 2A ranking after getting a strong run by sophomore Lauren Ratliff, while Prairie City-Monroe senior Chris Ellens improved his finish from last year to this year by 56 spots.

CMB went into the meet with aspirations of a top-three trophy. Instead, the Raiders brought home a fifth-place finish. It still was a strong season for a program which faced plenty of distractions and adversity.

“Our kids had so many unwanted distractions this season, so for them to hold it together, continue to work hard and finish the season in the top five is incredible,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts. “We wanted to set the bar high and see what we could do.”

Ellens came into the meet ranked sixth overall in 2A. For the first time in his career, his body did not cooperate, and he finished one spot back of a state medal in 16th. The final 5K of his high school career was clocked at 17:01.2.

“I could tell at the onemile mark that something was wrong,” PCM coach Eric Karr said. “It was a scary moment.

He doesn’t remember the finish much at all. He passed out a few times after the race. We are just glad he is OK.” CMB’s Ian Thomson and Logan Berg both joined Ellens in the 2A boys’ race. Thomson crossed the line in 38th with a time of 17:32, and Berg took 85th in his first state meet.

“Ian bettered his time from last year by 30 seconds,” Meinerts said. “He is such a competitor and is never going to be satisfied with how he runs, which is going to make him that much better next season.

“Logan learned a lot about the state meet today. He ran a good race, not his best, but not many freshman had the chance to do what he did today. He should be very proud of himself.”

CMB’s girls squad scored 175 points in fifth place. The Raiders were five points better than No. 2 ranked Pocahontas

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B “It feels great. My class has never won a playoff game. It feels amazing, and I feel so grateful to be in the position we are in,” said senior defensive end Clayton Welch, who was in the Norse backfield all night.

Caleb Schlatter came into the game ranked third in 2A in rushing yards. He dropped to sixth in the class after gaining 18 yards on seven carries against the Mustangs.

“I firmly believe that we have the best defensive line in 2A football,” Welch said. “We knew what they were going to do, and we do what (defensive line coach James) Nolin tells us. There isn’t much else to it really.”

The effort by the Mustang defense was a warm-up for what they’ll see Friday in a 2A quarterfinal game against No. 8 Dike-New Hartford (8-2).

The Wolverines’ offense features Trent Johnson, who has rushed for an Iowa-best 2,433 yards and 34 touchdowns this season.

Johnson became the state’s all-time leading rushing after he tallied 424 yards in DikeNew Hartford’s 59-22 win over Southeast Valley.

The Mustangs (9-1) host the Wolverines in a quarterfinal contest at 7 p.m. Friday in Monroe. PCM has won nine straight games since losing in the season opener.

“Tonight’s effort by our defense was real good because that’s what we’ll have to do

Area. Top-ranked Monticello won the meet with 93 points, while sixth-ranked South Winneshiek was second with 131 and fourth-ranked Mid-Prairie grabbed the final trophy with 133. Thirdranked Springville-Central City finished 25 points ahead of CMB in fourth.

Sophomore Brenna Thomson ran one spot faster than her ranking, finishing in 29th overall with a time of 20:28.7.

Ratliff ran the best race of her career by 19 seconds, placing 39th in 20:42.6.

Senior Heather Jessen (20:54.9) was next in 47th, junior Ashlee Johnson (21:18) came in 65th and sophomore Shasta Moody (21:33) was the final counting runner in 72nd.

Freshman Holly Jessen and senior Winter Brown were 93rd and 120th, respectively.

The 2A girls champion was top-ranked Anna Hostetler of Mid-Prairie. Hostetler finished in 17:57.7, while her younger sister Marie was second in 18:15.3.

Ellens made an incredible turnaround from one year to the next. He bettered his time in the 2A boys race at state by more than a minute from his junior season.

“He’s made one of the most impressive progressions that I have seen in my life,” Karr said. “He has nothing to be ashamed about. His body didn’t cooperate with him and he still ran a 17:01. His body essentially shut down, and he still finished the race.”

Defending 1A champion Andrew Stumbo, of Ogden, won the 2A race with a time of 15:53.6. Top-ranked Reece Smith of Garner-Hayfield-Ventura was second in 16:02.2.

Ellens, who will run in the senior all-star meet Saturday at DMACC, was well ahead of his competition at the state qualifier earlier this season.

Saturday, Aplington-Parkersburg’s Mason Tyler, East Marshall’s Nick Meling and Pella Christian’s Grant Dunsbergen all finished before Ellens. The Mustang senior had defeated Dunsbergen several times this season.

“Just because you get beat by someone doesn’t mean that guy is faster,” Karr said. “It again in the next round,” PCM coach Greg Bonnett said. “We knew that if we were fortunate enough to win this game, it would be good training for Dike-New Hartford.”

The Mustang starters played in their first full game since Week 2 of the regular season. PCM led 31-7 at halftime and outscored the Norse, 7-0, in the second half.

PCM tallied 350 of its 554 total yards in the first two quarters. Both of the Mustangs turnovers came in the second half, and the Norse blocked a punt in the third quarter.

“It might be a little bit of us not playing a lot in the second half this year, but I just think they made some adjustments at halftime, and they played hard in the second half,” PCM senior Leevi Telfer said. “The defense was lights out other than one play.”

The only big play of the game for Roland-Story was a 49-yard pass from Brett Staton to Matt Moore. That set up a 1-yard plunge by Staton with 2:09 to go in the half. It only cut the Mustangs’ lead to 24-7 though.

PCM needed less than 2 minutes to extend the lead before halftime. PCM went 66 yards in seven plays.

The drive included two big pass plays from Speers to senior Noah Clark. The first one, a 25-yarder on third down and long, gave the Mustangs a first down and then Clark hauled in a 20-yard touchdown catch. Senior Luke Greiner set up that score with a 26-yard catch.

means he had a better day. I actually high-fived Dunsbergen and so did Chris. We were happy for him, too.”

Dakota Hostetter was joined by her younger sister Ilia Hostetter, who was running in her first state meet.

She finished 74th with a time of 22:06.1.

“I think there were thoughts of Ilia maybe thinking she didn’t deserve to be at the state meet, but that placing showed she belonged here,” Colfax-Mingo Zach Tomas said. “Her race at regionals wasn’t a fluke. This was the second-best time of her career. She’s had her two best runs in the last two races of the year.”

Both sisters said they were proud of the other one after the race. Ilia can’t believe her older sister won’t be back running with her next season.

“It’s crazy to think she’s done. It was a good race to finish out with,” Ilia Hostetter said.

Dakota Hostetter, who said after the race she’s not going to run in college, is glad to close the cross country chapter of her life.

“This sport has done so much for me, and I love the coaches, but I am happy to be done with the sport itself,” the Clark missed two full games earlier this season. That TD grab was his fourth of the season.

“It’s definitely great to be back with my brothers, dominating and putting on a show with these guys,” Clark said. “(The win) feels phenomenal.

Everybody has put in so much work and it’s paid off. We all deserve this.”

Speers was 9-of-11 for 228 yards and two scores through the air in the first half. He threw for 268 yards in the game.

The Mustangs scored on all five first-half possessions.

Senior Chase Kuecker, who set a school record for most PATs in a season this year, booted his first field goal of 2016 with a 31-yarder on the Mustangs’ first drive.

Sophomore Wes Cummings capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run on PCM’s next possession. That drive included a 21-yard pass play from Speers to Greiner and a 29-yard completion from Speers to Clark.

Cummings finished with a season-high 214 yards and two touchdowns on a season-high 35 carries in the game. It put the sophomore tailback past 1,000 rushing yards on the season.

“We just have so many weapons on this offense,” Telfer said.

Speers used his feet on the Mustangs’ next possession, scrambling 20 yards for a first down on the second play of the drive. He hooked up with Greiner for 24 yards later in the drive and then scored on

elder Hostetter said.

The 20:18.1 was Dakota Hostetter’s best time at the state meet and the third best 5K of her career.

“I am very happy for her to put that exclamation point on her career. For her to do this in her last year is pretty special,” Tomas said.

Colfax-Mingo coach Jacob Crouse, who shares head coaching duties with Tomas, said the coaches didn’t put a

lot of expectations on their top runner this season, and it paid off with her best finish on the state’s biggest stage.

“We told her we were proud of what she had done and that she had already done enough to put herself in an elite standard of Colfax-Mingo athletes,” Crouse said.

a 13-yard run to cap the drive.

That put PCM up 17-0.

The key to our offense is how he plays mixed with how our offensive line plays,” Bonnett said of Speers. “Speersie is the battery of our offense.

He’s a gamer. He’s going to come out and always be automatic for us.”

The Mustangs needed only four plays to go 62 yards on the fourth possession of the half. After a holding penalty put PCM behind the sticks, Speers connected with sophomore Preston Van Wyk for 27 yards and a first down, and Greiner hauled in a 41-yard TD catch two plays later.

The offense handed the keys over to Cummings, who had 132 of his 214 yards in the second half.

Neither team scored in the third quarter, but PCM capped the win when Cummings scored an 8-yard TD early in the fourth quarter.

Bonnett admitted the Mustangs got too conservative in the second half.

“It was the strategy, and I think the strategy was wrong,” Bonnett said about predominantly running the ball in the final two quarters. “I think we made some poor play calls and got away from who we are. We take advantage of what the defense gives us, and I think we got too conservative in the second half and left some points out there. We won’t make that same mistake again.”

PCM lost two fumbles in the second half, one of which came inside the Roland-Story 5-yard line late in the game.

The Mustangs wouldn’t let the Norsemen grab any kind of momentum though. PCM held Roland-Story (7-3) to 104 total yards and four first downs in the win.

“It’s absolutely outstanding,” Bonnett said after the win. “If we continue to get better, I think we have an excellent shot to do even more special things.”

Speers hauled in his fourth interception of the season in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Jarron Trausch forced a fumble that junior Jacob Ponder recovered and junior Ivan Young also had a pick. Sophomore Brycen Rogers had a team-high 4.5 tackles.

Greiner finished with 132 yards and a TD on seven catches, while Clark hauled in four catches for 86 yards and a score.

Junior Noah Anderson injured his ankle during the win. His status for Friday’s game was uncertain at presstime.

Greiner left the game for a bit in the first half with a leg cramp but returned and was on the field when PCM went into victory formation.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B A failed 2-point run by the Hawks after a penalty by the Rebels made it 6-0 with 10:27 on the clock.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense forced Gladbrook-Reinbeck to punt on its first three possessions. The Rebels were held scoreless in the first quarter.

“They were an excellent opponent and played well against us,” senior linebacker Ryan Hofer said. “They are a balanced team, big up front and hard running backs plus has a good passing game. With all that, we had to be a balanced defense. We each had more assignments, but we stepped up to the challenge.”

Gladbrook-Reinbeck had the ball to open the second quarter. On thirddown-and-4, a short pass from Hunter Lott to Erik Knaack turned into a 71-yard TD strike. Walker Thede’s kick boosted the Rebels to a 7-6 lead, which is where it stayed.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck used a 60yard drive to begin the third quarter to extend its halftime lead. The final 26 yards came on a touchdown run by Parker Bown.

There were two penalties on the extra-point attempt — one on Lynnville-Sully which had the Rebels going for two, but the 2-point conversion run was wiped out by a 10-yard penalty on G-R. The Rebels went back to a kick attempt by Thede, which was no good, leaving it at 13-6.

Lynnville-Sully responded with a march to the Rebel 24-yard line on runs by Zylstra and sophomore Evan Squires, a pass from sophomore quarterback Elijah Collins to junior Brevin Hansen and a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Rebels. On a fourth-and-3 play, Collins’ pass was intercepted by G-R’s Matt Roeding at the Rebel 9-yard line.

The teams traded punts. The Rebels had the ball at their own 20 when the Hawks had back-to-back sacks. On the second one, Lott fumbled the football and junior Jesse Van Wyk recovered the ball for the Hawks with 1:07 left in the third quarter.

“We had a good plan coming into the game. We were within striking distance a few times and didn’t execute the way we need to,” Parkinson said. “I made a few mistakes (calling offensive plays) tonight.”

Lynnville-Sully had the ball at the Gladbrook-Reinbeck 20-yard line at the end of the third quarter. On the first play of the fourth quarter, the Hawks misfired on a fourth-and-2 pass play at the 12.

The Rebels pushed their way to the Lynnville-Sully 36 where the Hawks’ defense made a fourth-down stop.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Gage Vander Leest and Evan Squires wrap up the legs of Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s Parker Bown (6) while teammates Dylan Roozebloom (50) and Ryan Hofer (20) push the Rebel running back back and down on a first-quarter play. Lynnville-Sully battled the Class A defending champion Rebels in a first-round playoff game Friday, coming up short, 13-6, at Gladbrook.

Two punts later, Lynnville-Sully had the ball at its own 47 with 4:13 remaining in the game, down by seven.

A run by senior quarterback Tyler Van Zante netted 15 yards. Van Zante threw a 6-yard pass to Hansen. The Hawks faced a fourth-and-2 inside the G-R 30-yard line. Van Zante tossed a short pass to Hansen, but Hansen fumbled the ball when he got hit.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s Mason Skovgard made the recovery with 1:49 on the clock. Lynnville-Sully used its three timeouts as the Hawk defense held the Rebels forcing them to punt.

Unfortunately, the Hawks had too many players on the field on the punt, resulting in a 5-yard penalty and a first down for the Rebels. The Rebels ran out the final 53 seconds for the win.

“Coming into the season, we had high expectations for ourselves,” Hofer said. “We worked hard in the weight room and every day in practice. The scout team was always pushing us. We played the whole season with more heart and emotion than any other team I’ve been on. This was more special by far than any other season.”

Lynnville-Sully’s defense racked up eight quarterback sacks in the

game. Junior Corey McCoy had three of them. Senior Dylan Roozeboom, sophomore Gage Vander Leest and Hofer each had seven tackles.

Zylstra made six tackles and Van Wyk had five tackles. Roozeboom, Vander Leest, junior Kemper Lukehart, senior Trevor Squires and Van Wyk each had a sack.

Lynnville-Sully rushed for 143 yards to Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s 144. The one big pass play elevated the Rebels’ passing yards to 125 for the game as Lott was 5-of-9 passing. The Hawks had 50 yards passing.

Zylstra had 17 carries for 65 yards for the Hawks while Bown had 125 yards on 19 carries for the Rebels. Van Zante rushed for 34 yards on five carries, Squires had 26 yards on eight carries and Hansen had 12 yards on four carries for Lynnville-Sully.

Van Zante went 6-of-10 for 39 yards passing while Collins was 2-of-7 for 11 yards. Hansen caught six passes for 25 yards. Senior Caden Dunsbergen had one catch for 17 yards and sophomore Tyson Vander Linden had an 8-yard reception.

Sophomore Rylan James punted seven times for 271 yards — a 39-yard

K-State holds off Clones AMES (AP) — Kansas State quarterback Jesse Ertz celebrated his return to Iowa with one of the most complete games of his young career.

Ertz rushed for a career-high 106 yards on just nine carries and Kansas State held off host Iowa State 31-26 on Saturday for its third win in four games.

Ertz, a sophomore who broke the Iowa prep record for career touchdowns at Mediapolis High, added 151 yards passing with a touchdown for the Wildcats (5-3, 3-2 Big 12). They beat the Cyclones (1-7, 0-5) for the ninth year in a row.

“Obviously it had a little more meaning to it. But overall, it’s one game at a time and we’re just trying to put together some wins and some streaks and get some momentum,” Ertz said.

Iowa State pulled to within 17-10 early in the third quarter, but K-State answered with two long scoring drives that put it ahead by 21.

But Kansas State nearly let the Cyclones steal it late — and coach Bill Snyder wasn’t too pleased about it.

Deshaunte Jones had a 5-yard TD catch with 51 seconds left for Iowa State.

But the Cyclones failed to execute the ensuing onside kick, touching the ball before it went 10 yards.

Iowa State outscored the Wildcats 16-0 in the fourth.

“I’m not saying it’s so doggone easy.

But the only way you can become successful is start, finish and be consistent in between. We’re not doing that,” Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said.

Alex Barnes, Winston Dimel and Justin Silmon all had short rushing TDs for the Wildcats, who ran for 247 yards.

Backup Jacob Park had 301 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Cyclones. But he missed David Montgomery on a wide-open pass on fourth-and-1 at the K-State 1 with seven minutes left.

“I’m going to take this on me and our

staff. There’s some things that happened that we just can’t allow to happen eight to nine weeks into the season,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.

The Cyclones had some promising moments on offense in the second half, outgaining K-State 493-398. But Kansas State converted 8-of-12 third downs and scored on all five of its trips to the red zone.

Down 17-3, Iowa State opened the second half by recovering an onside kick — and seven plays later Park found Jones for a 24-yard TD pass to make it 17-10. But K-State answered with a 14-play, 85-yard touchdown drive that sucked the life out Jack Trice Stadium.

“Win, lose or draw it is all good because I love this team, these boys,” Parkinson said. “They kept playing tonight. Our defensive play was awesome. “I’m so proud of these guys. I want to celebrate the way they played tonight and the entire season with them.”

Panthers push No. 4 Bison in narrow loss CEDAR FALLS (AP) — North Dakota State may have had one streak snapped two weeks ago, but another lives on.

Lance Dunn ran for 118 yards and Tre Dempsey had two of NDSU’s four interceptions as the fourth-ranked Bison beat Northern Iowa 24-20 on Saturday night for their 20th straight night win.

The Bison haven’t lost a night game since a 2010 setback to Northern Iowa.

“We’re 2-0 in Iowa this year, so that’s good,” NDSU coach Chris Klieman said. The Bison beat top10 ranked Iowa earlier this season.

Dunn and Chase Morlock took over the running duties when King Frazier was injured early in the second quarter. Morlock had 68 yards and scored what proved to be the winning touchdown in the third quarter.

“Our guys were resilient,” Klieman said. “We were able to run the football even though it didn’t look like it in the fourth quarter.”

NDSU ran for 217 yards and Easton Stick passed for 118 yards and a score.

North Dakota State (7-1, 4-1 Missouri Valley Conference) converted a Robbie Grimsley interception into a Frazier 1-yard touchdown run with 4:42 to play in the first quarter. Austin Errthum kicked a 30-yard field goal to make 7-3 with 13:12 remaining in the first half.

It stayed that way until Stick rolled left and threw back to Jeff Illies down the right sideline for a

31-yard score and a 14-3 lead with 1:22 remained left in the half.

Errthum kicked a 25-yard field goal as the first half expired to make it 14-6. NDSU held the Panthers to just 25 yards on the ground and 136 total yards in the first half.

Northern Iowa quarterback Eli Dunne, coming off a school record for yards passing in a debut with 418 yards and two touchdowns against Missouri State, was 20 of 39 for 216 yards passing and two TDs, but was picked off four times.

With 7:19 left in the third quarter, Morlock scored on an 8-yard run to extend NDSU’s lead to 216.

Northern Iowa’s offense finally scored on a 17-yard TD pass over the middle from Dunne to Jaylin James with 2:52 left in the third quarter.

Cam Pedersen kicked a 25-yard field goal seven seconds into the fourth quarter to give the Bison a 24-13 lead.

Yet the Panthers came right back with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Dunne to Briley Moore to close to 24-20.

UNI (3-5, 2-3) did nothing offensively down the stretch. Its last four possessions ended with two punts and two interceptions.

“It’s definitely a tough place to play, but we made it hard on ourselves,” said linebacker MJ Stumpf, who had six tackles and a sack.

NDSU held the Panthers to 68 yards rushing, with Tyvis Smith leading UNI with 57 yards.

Astrograph

Costumes, candy and commercialization won’t obscure the true meaning that beats at the heart of the holiday -- not if the Scorpio moon has anything to do with it! This lunar vibration whispers of the impermanence of life on this plane, urging us to honor the souls who’ve passed. Remembering the dead ensures that they live on forever.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 31). You set out to find truth and beauty, and you will -- and you’ll find brilliant answers to the more practical needs of sustenance, order, inclusion and touch in the process.

You’ll make it your job to love

fearlessly in 2017. February will see you restructuring your lifestyle to make room for changes and new additions.

Virgo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 2, 22, 19 and 38.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your headstrong nature is so cushioned in personal charm that your ram horns are practically a secret. Therefore, your Halloween alter ego is a horned creature, perhaps a Pokemon or something of the devilish variety.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

As the sign of appetite, your Halloween alter ego fits per-

fectly with the trend of dressing as cute foods -- especially a cupcake, pizza slice or taco.

As for your own appetites, they are very much in control today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Being part of a duo is always lucky for the Gemini twins, and your Halloween alter ego may include a friend who can be Trump to your Clinton or Harley Quinn to your Joker.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your Halloween alter ego will embrace your lunar roots in the form of the puppies and wolves who howl at the moon, as well as werewolves, cat people and shape-shifters beholden to the lunar cycle.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your Halloween alter ego will speak to the charisma you share with your celebrity counterparts.

Who could you impersonate?

A Kardashian or a Bieber or perhaps a wild Cyrus?

They are Alive: Cubs win World Series Game 5 CHICAGO (AP) — They’ve waited 108 years for a championship. So with this World Series on the verge of slipping away, the Chicago Cubs could not wait any longer.

Manager Joe Maddon summoned closer Aroldis Chapman from the bullpen in the seventh inning for the first eight-out save of his big league career, needing to hold off the Cleveland Indians in Game 5.

As nervous fans fretted at Wrigley Field, Chapman fired his 100 mph heat and preserved the Cubs’ 3-2 win Sunday night, cutting Cleveland’s lead to 3-2.

The Cubs won a Series game at Wrigley for the first time since Game 6 in 1945.

Now, the team which led the majors in wins this year will try to extend its season again Tuesday night when Chicago right-hander Jake Arrieta faces Josh Tomlin at Cleveland in Game 6.

Chicago is trying to become the first club to overcome a 3-1 Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Royals and the first to do it by winning Games 6 and 7 on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates.

Cleveland, in search of its first title

since 1948, is in search of its third-ever title and has won the championship at home just once, in 1920.

Chapman hadn’t pitched in the sev-

enth inning since 2012. He threw 42 pitches, 15 of them at least 100 mph.

The lefty struck out four and fanned Jose Ramirez, who had homered earli-

er, with 101 mph heat to end it.

With the crowd at the Friendly Confines desperate for a win, Kris Bryant homered to start a three-run burst in the fourth off Trevor Bauer.

Anthony Rizzo sent the next pitch off the ivy on the right-field wall for a double, admiring its flight before hustling, took third on Ben Zobrist’s single and came home with the go-ahead run when Addison Russell reached out and topped a pitch down the thirdbase line for an infield single.

That gave Jon Lester a 3-1 lead. The Indians nicked him for a run in the sixth, and Carl Edwards Jr. took over to begin the seventh with a 3-2 edge.

Chapman came in with a runner on second and one out. He stranded the potential tying run at second base in the seventh and at third in the eighth, then pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.

Lester, the Game 1 loser, improved to 4-1 in Series play by allowing two runs and six hits.

Ramirez homered in the second to put the Indians ahead. Cleveland closed within a run in the sixth when Rajai Davis singled, stole second scored on a two-out single by Francisco Lindor.

NCMP Continued from Page 1B “The game plan was to just go out there and swim. We tapered this past week, and we were in our fastskins (swim suits), so I knew I was going to drop time,” Blommers said.

Blommers’ tempo was the quickest in the pool at SEP and among all regional meets Saturday. She touched the wall two seconds ahead of the Ames trio.

“When I touched the wall and looked up and saw I had a 1:04, I was so surprised and happy. There were so many emotions,” Blommers said.

“Last week at the conference meet, I didn’t have a very good time, and I didn’t like that feeling.”

Blommers won the regional 100 breaststroke championship with a 1:04.61, which lowered her own NCMP-record of 1:07.41. The next four swimmers in the race finished in 1:06.34 (Winer), 1:06.62 (Snyder), 1:06.65 (Hegelheimer) and 1:06.74 (Atlantic’s Jessica Hartwig).

Kelsey Drake, a senior from Linn-Mar, won her regional meet in 1:04.69 in the breaststroke.

The Aquagirls’ foursome of sophomore Lakin Jenkins, Blommers and seniors Emily Miller and Sarah Prendergast turned in a season’s-best time of 1:54.22 to open the regional in the 200 medley relay. NCMP was third at the regional, and waited to see if its time was fastest enough to qualify for state.

It was. The Aquagirls will compete in the medley relay and the breaststroke in Sat-

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Realizing not only that she won the regional race, but did it a team-record time and fastest time in the state — 1:04.61 — is NCMP sophomore Lindsey Blommers as she sees her winning time in the 100-yard breastroke at the regional meet Saturday at Southeast Polk High in Pleasant Hill.

“We had personal-best times in almost every single event today,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said.

“Momentum is determined by the girls and the seniors lead the way. They were confident, relaxed and ready today.”

NCMP finished fifth as a team with 219 points. Ames won the regional title with 566 points followed by Southeast Polk with 300 points in second place.

“We knew we had Ames in our regional. The girls weren’t intimidated by that at all. We had our game plan coming into this meet,” Patterson said.

“Lindsey swam lights out, and she’s not completely tapered

yet. She sees what she’s capable of, and it was great to see her conquer her nerves and bust it wide open. I told her to bring the heat.”

Blommers said she has a hard time matching up with the wall during races. She said you want to get to the wall at the perfect time in tempo to make your turns.

“I had a smooth race and all my turns were good today,” Blommers said. “Being a regional champion is an awesome feeling. It really makes you realize all the hard work you put in is worth it. I’m grateful for all the effort my teammates and I have put in at practices — never giving up on ourselves.”

NCMP made it onto the regional podium in four other

events, finishing in the top six.

Miller placed fifth in the 100 butterfly in 1:03.12. Prendergast finished sixth in the 500 freestyle reach in 5:35.24 then anchored the 200 freestyle relay to a fourth-place finish in the next event. She combined with Blommers, sophomore Alex Inskeep and Jenkins for a 1:45.85.

In the final event of the meet, Inskeep, junior Jessica Zahn, Miller and Prendergast captured the fifth-place medals in the 400 freestyle relay. The foursome’s time was 3:54.44.

Blommers just missed the podium in the 50 yard freestyle. She took seventh in 25.54 seconds, and the sixth-place medal time was 25.52 seconds.

“Across the board, we

swam so well today. We had a couple of seniors and a couple of freshmen swimming, and from top to bottom it was a great regional meet,” Patterson said. “We have a lot coming back for next year.”

Senior Willa Colville concluded her Aquagirl career with a 17th-place finish in the 100 freestyle in 1:03.06.

Four freshman — Erika Van Sickle, Courtney Dawson, Allison Paulius and Abbie Hill — competed in their first regional swim meet.

NCMP’s medley relay team and Blommers compete Saturday at Marshalltown in the state meet. Races begin at noon at the Marshalltown YMCA/YWCA. “Competing at state is a new experience for me, so my goal is to swim my fastest and just have fun. I just want to enjoy the whole experience,” Blommers said.
