Downtown kick-off to shopping season planned

Quarry Springs Park could be ‘game-changer’ for Colfax

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — The Colfax Parks and Recreation Auxiliary Board has released the latest tentative master plan for Quarry Springs Park, which includes concepts on how to utilize the three lakes within the park as well as the peninsula.

The plan was presented by Confluence, a Des Moines-based landscape architectural design firm that has been working with the auxiliary board steering committee to create a master plan. Kim Seebeck is the head of the committee, which has been taking on much of the responsibility regarding the direction of the Quarry Springs Park design.

“I’m very excited about this plan.

There’s a good mix of activities to do, retail space to help us financially and just a lot of opportunities overall,” Seebeck said. “It’s a long range plan, but it gives us direction on where to go and where to prioritize.”

The master plan, which is subject to change over time, includes a cable park and lazy river on the north side of the park, a beach, retail space for stores and restaurants, a public building on the peninsula designated for large events and an educational area on the far east side of the 480-acre park.

The event space, which could possibly seat as many as 300-400 guests, is an attraction that Seebeck believes will be a huge benefit to Colfax due to the lack of nearby available event spaces for large celebrations such as weddings.

“We just felt that the facility would be great for Jasper County. There’s really no other facility in the area like that, and here there would be a great view for pictures,” Seebeck said.

There would also be plenty to do for visitors, especially if there’s a public cable park — a designated area for water sports.

Confluence suggested a cable park because popularity for the activity has increased and Quarry Springs would

be the first Iowa park to offer one.

According to Seebeck, a cable park would actually be fairly inexpensive to create and may even be utilized year round if the lake completely freezes in the winter.

The idea also has auxiliary board president Doug Garrett excited as it could be one of those features that gives visitors an experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the state.

“The cable park is the unique concept of the plan,” Garrett said. “Water draws people and the location near Interstate 80 would allow this to be a regional destination park. You already have Prairie Meadows and Adventureland in Altoona, and in the other direction you have the Iowa Speedway.

This would be just one more thing for people to do in the area.”

Also in the master plan are extensions to the existing trail system and more space for camping.

The holiday shopping season is officially underway and the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce is inviting community members to its Holiday Retail Open House on Nov. 12 and 13. The downtown area will be ripe with holiday spirit with caroling, horse and carriage rides and an appearance from Santa Claus himself.

The open house is set from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday with many activities and specials ready for shoppers.

“We have more fun and unique retail shops downtown and this event just keeps growing every year,” chamber executive director Amanda Price said. “It is definitely worth bringing the whole family down and spending your afternoon doing a little Christmas shopping.”

Downtown shops are the main attraction for the event and will open starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday decorated for the season with holiday DOWNTOWN | 3A

Loebsack to continue tour Actress the latest to stump for Clinton in Newton in Newton had personal interaction Monaghan is an Iowa native

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Entertainers and other celebrities who have come to Newton over the past 16 months to stump for presidential candidates has had a different level of interaction with local party supporters.

Since actress Michelle Monaghan is a native of an Iowa small town — Winthrop — it made sense her visit to Newton on Wednesday was with a small crowd and

to help campaign for Hillary Clinton.

Monaghan, 40, has acted in more than 30 films and several TV shows, ranging from “Bourne Supremacy,” “Kiss Kiss” and “Gone Baby Gone” to “Project Runway” and HBO’s “True Detective.” She attended Columbia College in Chicago and was a journalism major who dropped out to pursue acting, where she found the concerns of Americans aren’t as different in Hollywood as one might think.

Probiotics: a healthy bacteria

By Jenny Thompson, RD LD, CDE Newton Hy-Vee Not all bacteria are harmful. “Friendly” bacteria, known as probiotics, are actually good for your digestive system.

These friendly bacteria live in the intestinal tract along with bad bacteria, and they fight for control of your digestive tract. A person will normally have 400 to 500 species of bac-

teria at any one time in the digestive tract.

Friendly bacteria may benefit the body in a number of different ways.

Studies have found that probiotics can help reduce traveler’s diarrhea and antibiotic-induced diarrhea, may reduce infections and some allergic responses and improve digestion and the immune system.

In addition, most lactose-intolerant people can

tolerate yogurt without negative side-effects. That is because some of the bacteria cultures found in yogurt make lactase, an enzyme which helps digest the lactose in milk.

In what foods do you find friendly bacteria?

They are found in cultured foods like yogurt and acidophilus milk.

Look for the words “live and active cultures” on the label to be sure probiotics are present.

Follow these tips to get the most health benefit from probiotics: Consume regularly — consume 1 to 2 servings each day to get a beneficial dose of bacteria.

Watch expiration dates — the number of bacteria decreases over time.

Compare labels for organisms — in general, the more varieties of bacteria present, the more benefit.

Try this warm treat that includes yogurt.

Newton Wellness Talks: Food Safety for the Holidays

By Sara Sprouse, MSN, RN Iowa State University Human Sciences Specialist, Nutrition and Wellness As the holidays approach, we are thinking about spending time with family and eating delicious holiday dishes. During this time, it is also important to consider the importance of keeping food safe to eat so our family and friends stay healthy during the holidays.

Foodborne illnesses can be severe and even life-threatening, especially for high-risk populations that include older adults, infants and young children, pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions.

You can help prevent these illnesses by following these safe food handling practices at home:

Clean

• Wash hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds (two renditions of “Happy Birthday”) before and after handling food.

• Wash surfaces that food comes

in contact with (dishes, utensils and counters), using hot, soapy water before and after preparing each food.

• Rinse fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water.

• Do not rinse raw meat and poultry before cooking to reduce the spread of bacteria to the sink and counter areas.

Separate

• Keep raw eggs, meats, poultry and seafood and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods that won’t be cooked.

• Use separate cutting boards and utensils for foods that will be cooked and for foods that will not be cooked.

• Do not put cooked meat or other foods on a plate that has had raw eggs, meat, poultry, seafood, and their juices on it.

• Don’t eat food containing uncooked eggs-if you have to have your annual eggnog, use pasteurized eggs.

Chill

• Refrigerate all leftovers within two hours.

• Keep your refrigerator temperature at ≤40°F and the freezer temperature at 0°F. • Never thaw foods on the counter at room temperature. Safely thaw foods in the refrigerator, under cold running water, or in the microwave.

Cook immediately if thawed under cold running water or in the microwave.

• Plan ahead to allow the correct amount of time to thaw food.

• Use leftovers within three or four days.

Minimum Wage is important to me; I can’t understand why people who work full-time are still living below the poverty line. I wouldn’t say there are too many issues that are all that different. Civil rights are important, too. That’s why I’m with her.”

Monaghan had her 8-year-old daughter, Willow, with her on this tour of her home state in support of Clinton. She said she’s found her fellow Iowans are well-informed, smart and passionate, and will talk politics nearly any time, so she’s had to be well-versed on Clinton’s policies and doubts people

“One hotel clerk wanted to chat during an 11 p.m. check-in,” Monaghan said. “What I think is beautiful about democracy is that there are a lot of people who tell me they don’t trust her (Clinton), or they don’t like her, but I tell them that she’s not going to come over and have a beer with you, but she knows policy.”

Monaghan joins a long list of people who have come to Newton and other Iowa towns to stump for Clinton.

Former figure skater Michelle Kwan, actress Jamie Lee Curtis, Stephanie Schriock of EMILY’s List, former Vermont governors Madeline Kunin and Howard Dean and former Iowa officials Tom Harkin and Tom Vilsack have all come to Newton to pitch for Clinton.

park.

“This could be a game changer for the future of Colfax. This could be something very special,” Garrett said. “Obviously, there would be several opportunities for jobs out there, but it’s also going to be a huge draw for people to live in the area.

The master plan does not have a timeline as it could be decades until it takes full shape, but Garrett said the board is likely to go after the low hanging fruit first such as creating more opportunities for camping, extending the nature trail around the park, activating a beach area and hopefully allowing motor

boats on the public lake.

The timeline also depends on funding. All funds used in the development of the park will either be from grants, donations or money raised during fundraisers by the auxiliary board, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

“Our goal has been to get things up and running, promote the park and get people out there.

As use goes up, more interest will come into play,” Garrett said. “Then we’ll be able to fundraise more and do more of the things in the plan.”

Plant some school pride with this month’s nursery packet Newton Daily News Everyone loves a friendly rivalry, especially when it comes to our three major universities — Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa. This November, the DNR State Forest Nursery is challenging Iowans to plant some school spirit and promote conservation at the same time.

For November only, the State Nursery is offering Hawk Fan, Cyclone Fan and Panther Fan specialty packets, each with 200 tree and shrub seedlings. The plants in the packet will reflect school colors and team spirit, either through

name, fall color or fruit.

“As alumni and fans, we can’t really impact the outcome of football, basketball, wrestling or other competitions between our schools,” says State Forester Paul Tauke.

“However, by purchasing and planting a Hawk, Cyclone or Panther ‘Fan Packet,’ we can improve Iowa’s environment and win conservation bragging rights for our school.”

Packets include: Hawk Fan Packet • 100 black cherry — fruit is used to flavor rum and brandy, and turns black in the late fall. Leaves produce yellow to gold fall color.

• 100 hackberry — yellow to gold fall color and fruit highly sought after by birds Cyclone Fan Packet • 100 red oaks — durable trees with deep red fall canopies and acorns to feed wildlife • 100 northern pecan — yellow to gold fall color and edible nuts for people and wildlife Panther Fan Packet • 100 aroniaberry — produces blackish purple berries late in the season, favored by birds.

The nectar of this shrub attracts a variety of pollinators.

• 100 hackberry —

yellow to gold fall color and fruit highly sought after by birds

“When we announce next month’s promotion, we will also announce whose fans are putting the most wildlife habitat and conservation on the ground through our November ‘Fan Packets,’” says Tauke. “As an ISU grad, I’ll admit I’m rooting for the Cyclones.”

Each month, the State Forest Nursery creates a different specialty packet to offer a unique mix of tree and shrub species for that month only. To take advantage of this November offer, call the State Forest Nursery at 1-800-865-2477 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and mention your favorite “Fan Packet.” This

month’s specialty packet is only available until Nov. 30.

Anyone can purchase seedlings from the Iowa State Forest Nursery for CRP projects, to increase wildlife habitat, pollinator potential or diversify backyard woodlands.

More than 40 species are available from the nursery. Seedling choices, including photos and descriptions, can be seen in the seedling catalog at www.iowadnr.com/nursery.

To order this monthly special or other tree and shrub seedlings, contact the Iowa DNR State Forest Nursery at 1-800865-2477.

Trending Mike Mendenhall

ext week I say goodbye to a young colleague with whom I’ve worked side by side for nearly two years.

Alex Olp, our community reporter for the Jasper County Tribune and Prairie City News, has taken a new position in Des Moines with an emphasis on newspaper design. He’s leaving us to take the next step in his journalism career.

Goodbyes are never easy, and it’s even harder when the professional relationship has developed with a firm

level of trust. But I’m thrilled for our young reporter.

In the time Alex has been with us, he’s developed into a consistent and reliable reporter, a solid page designer and has shown a photographer’s eye.

But what I’ve come to appreciate most about Alex is his work ethic. He’s never once turned down an assignment and always gets it done, even if that means hustling to track down a source or sacrificing his personal time to cover a late night story.

Alex came to us as a recent college graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. In fact, we called him

with the job offer just hours before he walked across the stage — a graduation present I would have loved as a 22-year-old.

He’s never been the bombastic or visible type of reporter. He’s a quiet observer. Attending nearly every community event, Alex ensures the people get their local news. He’s the guy almost incognito in the Jasper County Tribune polo and ball cap, quietly documenting. Never shying from a breaking story, Alex has developed a cool presence covering accidents, fires and spot news getting all the info without becoming part of the story. Just on Wednesday we asked him to cover a three-car accident near the northwestern county line. As another Newton Daily News reporter pointed out, we are “getting our last nickel of breaking news out of him.”

There will soon be a new face cov-

ering the small towns of Jasper County with me, but Alex has set the tone for all of our future community reporters. I’ll miss his positive attitude with a hint of snark, almost always beating me to the office in the morning. But I’m proud of Alex and the next step he’s taking.

So I want to take this opportunity to say thank you, Alex. Thank you for taking direction and allowing me to be a good leader. Thank you for handling the reigns when I suffer from a migraine or took a bit of time off. Thank you for reminding me to take a step back and that it’s OK to use a bit of personal time now and then.

I always knew when I did, our newspapers were in good hands. So is your future.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Fiddl’n Granny I must say, a truck load of people showed up for our housewarming/open house. We told the caterer to prepare enough food for 100 people, and at least that many people came. Ginnie set out eight dozen (96) paper plates, and they were all used up. That’s the best we can do for a count. We had a guest book for people to sign, but you know how that goes.

Some do, some don’t, which put a real strain on Ginnie writing “Thank yous.” The telephone book, Google and Church Directory only go so far when it comes to looking up addresses.

Then there was the problem of figuring out who brought what. In the heat of “howdies” it’s hard to keep track. We’re still trying to figure out who brought the pretty blue vase and bottle of wine. If you know, please let us know so we can send proper “thank yous.” We hadn’t really intended for people to bring housewarming gifts, this was as much an open house as anything. But the gifts are appreciated. One couple’s gift was the chairs we used at the tables. I knew we didn’t have enough chairs. A lady at church told us to ask so-and-so, he had plenty of chairs and would loan them out. I ask the guy, and he said, no, he didn’t loan out chairs, but as a housewarming gift he would pay to have rental chairs delivered.

I was flabbergasted, but it was right nice of him, and it worked out perfect. Nearly everyone who needed a place to sit while eating were able to park it.

People from our Presbyterian Church in Mt. Pleasant came as well as Ginnie’s former Presbyterian Church in Ottumwa. What tickled me immensely was that some of my Empty Nest readers came from far and wide. I had put an open invitation in my weekly column, and readers came. Even 92-year old Wilbur Swindler from Ottumwa. He got lost on the way and wound up in Missouri, but eventually found us. Wilbur was particularly pleased to see Buddy, and Buddy him. A “Chris” from Fairfield, I think, brought a homemade pumpkin pie — delicious. She didn’t sign the guest book so we can’t send her a thank you.

An interesting guest was a fella who happened to run out of gas right in front of our house. He walked up to the garage. Someone said, “Get in line,” and he did. After eating, he thanked me for the food and asked about gas. I showed him where the gas can was and told him to use what he needed, replace it and bring the can back. At the end of the day, I noticed the gas can was full and back in its place. People are really pretty honest, especially when you feed’m.

Many people thanked us for having what they called, “An old-time get together,” and that, “People should do this more often.” As I explained, this is Ginnie’s and my version of a “blowout.” Get’n up there in years, we’ve become what you might call, “socially conservative.” I don’t drink anymore and don’t even like to leave the house after dark. An allnight shindig is not our version of a good time. I could never stay awake, anyway. So a wingding like this on a Sunday afternoon is just about as wild as it gets for us. And having friends visit is God’s blessing.

The only thing missing was a band. Some live country western or heavy metal would have been the cat’s meow. Maybe next year. However, a lady from Fairfield, Joanne Ancell, one of my readers, showed up with a fiddle. Yep. She’s known far and wide as “Fiddl’n Granny.” She says she likes to “play around.”

After eating she commenced to entertain us with “Chinese Breakdown,” “You Are My Sunshine” and “Golden Slippers.”

Perfect.

Local author to host book signing at Choices Marilyn Schuler, local children’s author, will be signing her newest book, “David: Warrior Becomes King,” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 12 at Choices: Christian Living Store.

“David: Warrior Becomes King” is the second book in the David of the Bible trilogy. These books are chapter books for older children, ages 8 Schuler to 12.

In the second book, David enters the Israeli army and becomes a loyal friend to Jonathan, son of King Saul.

David is soon a fugitive hunted by King Saul throughout the wilder-

ness strongholds. Other discouraged men, some with families, join David.

How many times can David escape King Saul’s wrath? Will Jehovah God continue to intervene for David? Will God intervene for Jonathan who is trapped between his friendship with David and his loyalty to his father?

In the first book, “David: Shepherd Becomes Warrior,” David’s character is molded by great grandmother Ruth’s Hebrew history stories and his shepherding experiences. These are chapter books for youth.

Schuler also has a five picture book series, Animals of the Bible. All are published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, LLC in Oklahoma.

All the books will be available at the book signing.

Third annual Farmer Wave Week For the past two years Gov. Terry Branstad has proclaimed the first full week in November, Farmer Wave Week in Iowa.

Farmer Wave Week is the idea of Todd Collins. Todd is the general manager of Iowa’s Best Country, KIX 101.1, News Talk 1230 KFJB and the PA announcer of Iowa Speedway in Newton.

Collins grew up on a farm in Carroll, seeing the Farmer Wave was an everyday occurrence.

“Not to see someone Farmer Wave back at

you seemed weird. Everyone would wave to everyone,” Collins said.

After years of living in Wisconsin, he noticed that only in Iowa did he see the Farmer Wave on a regular basis and over the years has thought about making it Farmer Wave Week and in 2014 year he did just that.

The last two year’s Farmer Wave Week garnered the proclamation signing from Governor Terry Branstad as well as television, radio, magazine and newspaper coverage in Iowa. The 2014 video explained what

Farmer Wave Week was about and it went viral with more than 400,000 views and more than 11,000 shares on Facebook. You can see the 2015 Farmer Wave video by going to https://goo. gl/9TDXnz. This year’s Farmer Wave Week video was released Nov. 2. Collins filmed the entire video while combining corn on his brother’s farm in Carroll. “This year, it’s all about your farmer wave.”

He is encouraging fans of Farmer Wave Week to video or take pictures of their Farmer

Waves and send them to @farmerwaveweek on Twitter or send them to Iowa’s Best Country KIX 101.1’s Facebook page.

The Farmer Wave can be done many ways; it may include one or two fingers lifted off the steering wheel, a low hand raised outside their truck window, a head nod, etc. ”It takes no money and no time to do a Farmer Wave, just wave at the person driving past you” Todd says.

“You would be amazed at what a simple Farmer Wave can do to make someone’s day.”

Change in the weather signals time to change alarm batteries DEAR ABBY: Fall is here and as we prepare for a change in the weather, it’s also the time we turn our clocks back an hour from daylight saving time. Something that everyone also needs to change could save their lives.

That “something” is the battery inside household devices that many take for granted — smoke alarms, smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors.

In the U.S., three out of five home fire deaths are caused by fires in homes with no smoke alarms or WORKING smoke alarms. As a firefighter, I have seen these tragedies firsthand and believe it is my duty to make sure we lower this number. My mission is for no battery to go unchecked.

For the 29th consecutive year, Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) are partnering to educate the public about fire safety by reminding consumers of the importance of checking and changing the batteries not only in smoke alarms, but also every device that helps keep us safe and relaxed in our homes.

Think about your smart thermostats, flashlights, home security systems and other critical devices. Many of them have a battery component that must be checked and changed in order to ensure home safety.

I cannot stress enough the importance of setting aside the few minutes it takes to ensure these devices are working. The IAFC also recommends REPLACING smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors every 10 years. Use the end of daylight saving time as a reminder to prioritize the safety of your home.

This simple task protects your home and the people you cherish the most.

— FIRE CHIEF JOHN D. SINCLAIR, IAFC PRESIDENT AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD DEAR CHIEF SINCLAIR: Thank you for the “timely” reminder to my readers. I urge all of them to learn more about the Change

Your Clock, Change Your Batteries program by visiting energizer.com/ homesafety.

And buy your replacement batteries now, so you can install them on Nov. 6 when you turn your clocks back.

DEAR ABBY: I am dating a great guy I have known for 10 years. We dated on and off, but always remained friends. We were friends during my marriage, the birth of my daughter and my divorce.

We are now dating again. I would like things to work out because he is such a great friend and great person.

My 9-year-old daughter adores him, too. The problem is, I’m still having a sexual relationship with my ex-husband. The sex is great and I don’t want to stop, but I’m afraid it will come back to haunt me.

I have been involved one way or another with both of these men since 2005. I’d like to just date the guy I am with, but our sex life isn’t nearly as good as it is with my ex. I know I’m being selfish. What should I do? — DIVIDED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR DIVIDED: You may be divorced, but you are not free as long as you’re having sex with your ex. Be as good a friend to the “great guy” as he has been to you and let him go so he can find a lady who values what he has to offer. Right now what you are doing is extremely unfair to HIM.

1 Doctor reinstated to practice medicine after acquittal

DES MOINES — An Iowa medical license is being reinstated for a Des Moines doctor who’d been acquitted of manslaughter. The doctor, Daniel Baldi, reached an agreement with the Iowa Board of Medicine that was released Wednesday. Baldi was accused of improperly prescribing large amounts of painkillers to patients, including Paul Gray, founder of the band Slipknot, who died in 2010. Baldi was found not guilty of seven counts of involuntary manslaughter in April 2014.

Man charged with stealing scratch tickets BONDURANT— A man has been accused of stealing more than $10,000 worth of Iowa lottery scratch tickets while working at a store in Polk County. Court records say 27-year-old Matthew Hinrichs, of Bondurant, is charged with lottery ticket theft or forgery. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for Hinrichs.

His next court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 10. A criminal complaint says Hinrichs was fired after being caught stealing the tickets from Brick Street Market in Bondurant.

Former drainage official convicted in dirt case FORT MADISON — A former drainage district board member has been convicted of falsifying documents regarding his employees taking dirt without permission to repair a levee in southeast Iowa.

Michael Pieper, of Wever, is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 6. He was convicted last week.

North Lee County District Court documents say Pieper ordered his company employees in 2011 to take the dirt. The dirt value was estimated at around $93,000.

5 Charles City man sentenced for child porn

CHARLES CITY — A Charles City man who police say had pornographic images of children on his cellphone has been sentenced to up to two years in prison.

Investigators say he had downloaded photos and videos of child pornography on his phone from the internet.

Slain officers remembered as friendly public servants IOWA CITY (AP) — The two Iowa police officers who were shot and killed in separate ambush-style attacks Wednesday are being remembered as friendly public servants.

Des Moines police Sgt. Anthony “Tony” Beminio seemed to always have a smile, while Urbandale officer Justin Martin is recalled as a “kind, gentle, compassionate” person who was just beginning a career in law enforcement.

ANTHONY “TONY” BEMINIO Tony Beminio was a big guy with a big smile.

The Des Moines police sergeant is remembered as a 38-year-old father, a dedicated and popular officer and a star athlete in high school.

Beminio was a standout football player and heavyweight wrestler at Iowa City West High School. He was a lineman on the 1995 team that went 13-0 and won the state championship.

“He was physically just an imposing person, but he was just a big teddy bear when you got to know him,” said his former teammate, David Lane.

several years.

Parizek said Beminio was married with children but details on his survivors weren’t immediately available.

Anthony Beminio

Justin Martin

“He’d smile all the time, even if you didn’t know him. That’s just how he came across.”

Beminio played football at the University of Northern Iowa and then at Simpson College in Indianola, where he graduated in 2001 with a criminal justice degree.

Lane said nobody was surprised when Beminio followed his father, Frank, a now-retired small-town Iowa police chief, into law enforcement. Tony Beminio started working for the Indianola Po-

lice Department, then joined the Des Moines Police Department in 2005.

Des Moines police spokesman Sgt. Paul Parizek said Beminio was promoted to sergeant last year and served on patrol. He had worked as a school resource officer at two Des Moines high schools and as a robbery and homicide detective before his promotion, he said.

“Very popular officer,” said Parizek, who worked with him on midnight patrol for

JUSTIN MARTIN Justin Martin became a police officer because he wanted to serve the public.

The 24-year-old rookie officer was thrilled when he landed an internship at the Urbandale Police Department last year, while he was a senior at Simpson College in Indianola. By the time he graduated with a degree in criminal justice, he was happy to accept a full-time job from the suburban Des Moines department.

Martin, who was single, had just begun patrolling by himself in August.

He grew up with one brother in Rockwell City, a town of around 1,700 people about 100 miles northwest of Des Moines. Both of his parents are educators — his dad a principal at a local high school and his mother an elementary school teacher.

Martin is remembered as a hardworking student who played football and basket-

ball, ran track and swam at Rockwell City-Lytton High School, where he graduated in 2011. He was an Eagle Scout.

“He always wanted to do his best, anything that he could do for the school and for his family. I think he gave himself fully into whatever activity or his school work,” said schools superintendent Jeff Kruse.

“We’re losing somebody that wanted to serve his community and to give back in a positive manner for the things that had been given to him.”

Fred Jones, a sociology and criminal justice professor at Simpson College who served as Martin’s faculty adviser, said Martin was determined to become a police officer.

“He was a kind, gentle, compassionate man who was always concerned with serving the public,” Jones said in a statement issued by the school. “That’s why he went into police work. He was smart and had great social skills. He just had it all.”

Assistant professor Samantha O’Hara added: “When he was in our classes, he always had a quick, ready smile and a positive vibe.”

Suspect in officer deaths has history of racial provocations DES MOINES (AP) — A white man with a history of racial provocations and confrontations with police ambushed and fatally shot two white officers in separate attacks as they sat in their patrol cars, authorities said.

Police took 46-year-old Scott Michael Greene into custody hours after the killings early Wednesday, less than three weeks after he argued with officers who removed

him from a high school football game where he had unfurled a Confederate flag near black spectators.

Greene flagged down an Iowa Department of Natural Resources employee in a rural area west of Des Moines, identified himself and asked that the employee call 911. Sheriff ’s deputies and state patrol officers took him into custody.

Greene has not been formally charged, but he re-

mained hospitalized Thursday for treatment of an existing condition, Des Moines police Sgt. Paul Parizek said. Police planned to provide an update on the case later in the day, he said.

Greene’s suspected in the early morning slayings of 24-year-old Justin Martin, who had been with the force in the Des Moines suburb of Urbandale since 2015, and 38-year-old Sgt. Anthony Be-

both took place along main streets that cut through residential areas.

In the first shooting, investigators believe the gunman walked up to the officer’s car and fired more than two dozen rounds.

“I wouldn’t call it a confrontation,” Urbandale Police Chief Ross McCarty said. “I don’t think he may have even been aware that there was a gunman next to him.”

Police responded to a report of shots fired shortly after 1 a.m. and found the Urbandale officer. Authorities from several agencies soon saturated the area. About 20 minutes later, they discovered the Des Moines officer, who had responded to the first shooting, Parizek said.

The shootings happened less than 2 miles apart, and

Garth Brooks wins top award at CMA Awards

AP Photo Chicago Cubs fans celebrate in front of Wrigley Field in Chicago on Wednesday after the Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in Game 7 of the baseball World Series in Cleveland.

Chicago Cubs fans elated after World Series win at the top of their lungs.

“This was torture,” said Mike Delmanowski, a lifelong Cubs fan who flew to Chicago from California just to be surrounded by other Cubs fans. “I would not have missed it for anything.”

“I am so proud to be a part of it,” added his wife, Sue, who was crying off and on from the fifth inning.

As the celebration progressed, thousands of fans poured into the streets leading away from Wrigley, many of them singing, “We Are The Champions.”

Fans hugged each other — many of them crying — and took pictures of each other and themselves.

Many fans took turns writing their names and words of congratulations in chalk on Wrigley Field’s brick walls. Some got on friends’ shoulders to find spots high up on the walls that were not yet covered with names.

Thousands of people were still in the ballpark neighborhood, known as Wrigleyville, at least an

hour after the game ended, as fireworks exploded every few minutes. Chicago police said Thursday morning that it didn’t immediately have details of possible arrests.

“To finally see this in my lifetime with my son here with us, it means everything,” said Craig Likhite, who drove to Chicago with his wife, April, and their 10-year-old son, Cade, because they wanted to see history made with other fans as close to Wrigley as possible.

“This game with all the ups and downs showed him exactly what it is to be a Cubs fan,” the 50-year-old Likhite said. “My dad passed away this year. He would have loved this.”

Judy Pareti flew in from New York City to watch the game at Murphy’s Bleachers, a neighborhood sports bar in a building where her grandfather lived and operated a hot dog stand.

“My dad and grandfather owned it, and I was born here,” she said. “I would never want to be anywhere but here for this.”

CHICAGO (AP) — Next year is finally here.

Long-suffering Chicago Cubs fans erupted into cheers and swarmed into the streets when the Cubs won their first World Series in 108 years late Wednesday night.

And they showed no signs of stopping Thursday, as a raucous crowd welcomed home players in a caravan of buses at Wrigley Field — with first baseman Anthony Rizzo showing off the World Series trophy for the cheering fans.

Fans who packed bars to watch the games on television near Wrigley Field — neither of which existed back in 1908 — celebrated in the shadows of the statues of Cubs greats Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Ron Santo and legendary announcer Harry Caray.

As the game ended, the roar from inside the bars and the throng of fans on the streets was deafening. The crowds inside and out sang Chicago singer-songwriter Steve Goodman’s “Go Cubs Go,” a standard chorus after Cubs wins,

Garth Brooks, who lost entertainer of the year at last year’s Country Music Association Aw a r d s when he returned to music after a 13-year break, Brooks won the top prize at the show Wednesday, where Beyonce and the Dixie Chicks’ surprise duet performance was met with love and hate.

Brooks beat out Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Keith Urban and last year’s winner, Luke Bryan.

“We are so damn lucky to part of this thing called country music,” Brooks yelled loudly at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

Taylor Swift presented Brooks the award, but she wasn’t the only pop star in the building: Beyonce sang her twangy song “Daddy Lessons” on a night celebrating the CMA Awards’ 50th anniversary. It was the first time Beyonce, a Houston native, performed at the country awards show.

The performance also marked a return for the Dixie Chicks, who hadn’t attended the CMA Awards in some time.

“Everybody get on your feet. Put your hands together,” Beyonce told the crowd.

Love beyond the disfigured face November is National Adoption Month

By Lindsey Klyn Kinetic Edge PELLA — The email read “hardest to place children.” That’s when Michele Haan first laid eyes on a photo of 1-year-old Micah.

Micah was abandoned at birth due to his deformed face, altered by a medical condition known as rare facial clefting. This affected his mouth, left eye, nose and upper lip and caused him to be classified as an orphan who would struggle to find a loving family.

At that point, Michele knew she needed to do everything possible to find a family for Micah.

Michele and her husband Blake already had six adopted children.

They were also over the age limit for adopting from Micah’s birth country, but that didn’t stop her.

“I called the agency to get information about Micah and was told they would make an exception for us because of our experience and access to services Micah would need,” Michele said.

The Haan family soon found out that Micah was the orphanage favorite. He loved to sing and always had a huge smile on his face. It didn’t take long for them

to see past the disfigured part of his face to discover a boy full of personality and love for life.

After two long years of paperwork and regulations, Michele made the trip to Micah’s birth country to bring him home. The adjustment to life as a Haan was tough for Micah. In addition to grieving the loss of his orphanage caregivers and the world he’d come to know, Micah needed almost immediate surgery after he came home. He had a lot of infection, so the Haans didn’t have much choice but to have Micah undergo four major to moderate surgeries within a 14 month period that started 10 months after he came home.

“Every surgery brought pain and resurfaced memories of his early abandonment and hospitalization,” Michele said. “With each surgery, Micah’s trauma became more and more apparent. He became an angry, fearful little boy.

We had parented other children that came to us from trauma, but we were completely unprepared for the depth of fear this child was living in. It was absolutely heartbreaking.”

During this time, the Haans attended a simulcast where they learned

about Sensory Processing Disorders. Through the event, they became connected with Marlene Hibma, Clinical Director and Adoption Consultant with Bethany Christian Services, who recommended the Haans see Kinetic Edge’s Occupational Therapist Elise Spronk.

“One of the things we look at with kids who’ve had trauma before their adoption is that they might have sensory integration issues,” Hibma said. “An occupational therapist like Elise would do an evaluation to determine if there are sensory integration issues.

Occupational therapists are in the best position to make intervention for these kids and to help them feel more comfortable in their environment and in their skin, which promotes healing from their original trauma prior to their adoption.”

The Haans didn’t know what to expect from occupational therapy and were a bit skeptical about what it could do. Nevertheless, Michele loaded Micah into their car and made the hour long drive from their home near Maxwell to Kinetic Edge in Pella to find out.

“Micah has always loved to sing; we say that Micah lives life starring in his own musical,” Michele said. “At the orphanage he sang, when he first came home he sang, but when he was

going through that really hard time following his surgeries, I realized it had been months since we’d heard him sing.”

After the first appointment at Kinetic Edge, Micah sang the entire hour and fifteen minutes home. At that point, Michele didn’t know what Spronk had done or about brain development or sensory integration. All she knew was that Micah was singing for the first time in six months.

“Through a sensory

profile during Micah’s initial evaluation, we determined that Micah was both a sensory seeker and had sensory sensitivity, both of which results in hyperactive, fidgety behavior,” shared Spronk. “This was helpful information to provide his parents useful suggestions to improve his ability to self-regulate, or keep calm, to participate in activities.”

As Michele learned how to meet Micah’s sensory needs, his trust in their relationship

grew. Now, the two have a normal parent-child bond. Building a family through adoption isn’t easy, but as Michele has experienced, it is a wonderful way to have a family.

“Adoption isn’t for everyone,” Michele said.

“But even if you aren’t called to adoption, there are so many ways to help orphans through things like sponsoring a child, helping fund a family’s adoption, or supporting agencies like Bethany Christian Services.”

Next Year Is Here

Curse This: Cubs end 108-year drought with Game 7 win over Indians CLEVELAND (AP) — The wait ‘til next year is finally over. The Chicago Cubs are World Series champions.

Ending more than a century of flops, futility and frustration, the Cubs won their first title since 1908, outlasting the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in 10 innings of a Game 7 thriller early Thursday.

“It happened. It happened.

Chicago, it happened,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said.

“We did it. We’re world champions. I tell ya, we’re world champions. I can’t believe it.”

Lovable losers for generations, the Cubs nearly let this one get away, too. All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman blew a three-run lead with two outs in the eighth when Rajai Davis hit a tying homer.

But the Cubs, after tormenting their fans one more time, came right back after a 17-minute rain delay before the top of the 10th.

Ben Zobrist hit an RBI double and Miguel Montero singled home a run to make it 8-6. Davis delivered an RBI single with two outs in the bottom half, but Mike Montgomery closed it out, and the celebration was on.

Blue-clad Cubs fans who traveled from Wrigley Field filled nearly the entire lower deck behind the Chicago dug-

Sixth-ranked Mustangs, No. 8 Wolverines play for spot in Dome

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe seniors Leevi Telfer, left, and Luke Greiner (4) combine for a tackle against Roland-Story tailback Caleb Schlatter during the Mustangs’ 38-7 win last week. No. 6 PCM hosts No. 8 Dike-New Hartford in a Class 2A quarterfinal at 7 p.m. on Friday.

​ eave L Beggar’s Night alone I

f you grew up outside of central Iowa, you probably have no idea what Beggar’s Night is all about. But why do you have to spoil the fun of others?

All I hear every year around Halloween is how stupid Beggar’s Night is.

It’s offensive to those of us who grew up not knowing anything else.

I remember when I was a young pup growing up in Earlham. We had grandparents in Des Moines and Dexter. We went trick-or-treating in all three towns and it was fun.

I have no idea how Beggar’s Night came about. But there are much worse tragedies to focus your time on then kids dressing up in costumes more than once a year.

This & That Troy Hyde Just let us have our tradition.

My daughter enjoyed it this year, too.

My wife took her to Ankeny on Sunday to spend time with some family and went trick-or-treating that night. Then, she got dressed up in her Anna costume one last time, and we hit the neighborhood in Newton.

Nobody handing out candy cares how many times a 3-year-old went out in her costume.

What’s the big deal, I ask? Why do I have to hear about how Beggar’s Night is dumb every year?

Just leave it alone. Let us have one.

Now on to some area sports news: Former Collins-Maxwell/Baxter standout Bryce Kemp will get to play in some Big Ten Conference football stadiums in the near future.

ESPN’s Brett McMurphy tweeted

Everything the Prairie City-Monroe football team did against Roland-Story in the playoff opener will have to be done even better against DikeNew Hartford on Friday.

The sixth-ranked Mustangs’ defense stopped the Pregame Norse’s strong running game Outlook and the offense piled up 558 yards of offense.

The No. 8 Wolverines, however, come in with a better running back and with a team that defeated Roland-Story, 42-3, during district play.

Dike-New Hartford has the top rusher in Iowa in Trent Johnson. There’s no secret as to what the Wolverines will try to do.

“I think it is a matter of our defensive line and linebackers playing very physical and getting everybody to the football,” PCM coach Greg Bonnett said.

Tuesday that Kemp’s school, Eastern Michigan, will travel to three Big Ten schools in the next three seasons.

Kemp, who is a redshirt freshman this season, and Eastern Michigan head to Rutgers next season, go to Purdue in 2018 and travel to Illinois in 2019.

Kemp’s former teammate at CMB, Joey Nissen, is having a heck of a season for Grand View as the Vikings’ kicker.

Nissen was 12-for-12 in PATs this past weekend in Grand View’s 90-0 win over Culver-Stockton. The Vikings are currently 8-1 and ranked No. 6 in the latest NAIA football national poll.

On the season, Nissen has booted eight field goals and is 46-of-49 in PATs. The Vikings will play No. 20 William Penn in the final week of the regular season. Playing for the Statesmen this season is former Lynnville-Sully Hawk Sage Ehresman. Ehresman, a true freshman, has carried the ball 25 times for 151 yards. That’s an average

The Mustangs (9-1) and Wolverines (8-2) are playing for a spot in the Class 2A semifinals and a trip to the UNI-Dome.

Kick off is set for 7 p.m. Friday in Monroe.

Johnson leads all classes in rushing with 2,433 yards and is second in rushing touchdowns with 34. He is averaging 8.8 yards per rush, and he gained 201 yards on 31 carries in the win against Roland-Story back on Oct. 7.

“I think Roland-Story got beaten up physically by D-NH’s offensive line. That was their downfall,” Bonnett said.

Johnson set the all-time record for career rushing yards in the state last week with his 424yard performance against Southeast Valley in the Wolverines’ first playoff game. That put Johnson, who was the 1A runner-up at 145 pounds last year during wrestling season, at 7,164 career rushing yards.

MUSTANGS | 2B

of six yards per carry.

Several former area preps are on the Simpson football roster this season. Two former Prairie City-Monroe Mustangs are making an impact on a Storm team that has started the season 3-5.

Ricky Reeve is third on the team in receptions with 14. He also has 126 yards and two touchdowns. His former teammate at PCM, Zach Uhlenhopp, has 12 tackles for the Simpson defense.

Former PCM Mustang Rachel Peter led the Central College women’s cross country team at the Iowa Conference Championships this past weekend.

Peter was the Dutch’s top finisher as she earned all-conference honors in 15th place. Her 6K time was clocked at 23:18.1.

Former Colfax-Mingo Tigerhawk McKinzie Tjaden is on the Buena Vista women’s soccer team. She finished her first year with two goals and seven shots on goal.

From Curse of the Bambino to the Billy Goat Curse, he ended another jinx.

The Indians, meanwhile, added more heartbreak. In their previous World Series appearance, they were a double-play grounder from winning the title before losing Game 7 to the Marlins.

“It’s going to hurt. It hurts because we care, but they need to walk with their head held high because they left nothing on the field,” Francona said.

After defeating San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs, Chicago became the first team to earn a title by winning Games 6 and 7 on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates.

While Cubs fans hugged with delight, there was only despair for the Indians, who now have gone longer than anyone without a crown.

Chapman wound up with the win and Montgomery got one out for his first save in the majors.

​Iowa’s struggling receivers crippling Hawkeyes offense IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s offense has typically revolved around the idea that a strong line and interchangeable running backs will open up the passing game.

The Hawkeyes didn’t expect its receivers to be so ineffective that their entire offensive identity would be compromised.

Iowa (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) heads into November with a serious deficiency at wide receiver. Only one of them, senior Riley McCarron, is among active Hawkeyes in the top four on the team in catches — and Iowa is just 107th nationally in passing offense (180.3 yards per game).

That statistic is even more glaring given that the Hawkeyes have a senior quarterback, C.J. Beathard, who many pegged as among the Big Ten’s best entering this season.

“It’s just a matter of us doing the right things and making

the plays that are there to be made. You put those both together and you have a chance to win games,” Beathard said.

Iowa, which is coming off its bye week, plays at No. 20 Penn State (6-2, 4-1) on Saturday.

The Hawkeyes might take on a different look this weekend, as back Akrum Wadley said Tuesday that he occasionally worked as a slot receiver in practice during the bye.

“We’re fooling around with different looks and what have you, but nothing major,” coach Kirk Ferentz said.

The Hawkeyes knew their passing game would suffer following the season-ending injury to star Matt VandeBerg four games into the season.

But Iowa also hoped, like every program in the country does, that losing a key veteran would give an inexperienced underclassman a chance to shine.

That hasn’t happened yet.

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B Johnson had 314 rushing yards the week before against East Marshall. He has totaled at least 200 yards five times this season. The two lowest rushing totals of the season, 133 and 147, came in the Wolverines’ two non-district losses to Class 1A No. 3 Denver and Class A No. 2 Gladbrook-Reinbeck. “( Johnson) is not going to go down with one guy on him so we need several guys hitting and stripping the ball,” Bonnett said.

As good as Johnson has been this season, PCM’s offense has been pretty good, too.

The Mustangs come into Friday averaging 46 points per game.

Quarterback Sheldon Speers ranks first in 2A and tied for third overall in touchdown passes with 30. His 2,244 passing yards ranks third in 2A and eighth overall, and his 74.5 completion percentage also leads the state.

Speers’ favorite receiver is, Luke Greiner, leads the state in TD passes with 18, ranks third in 2A with 1,031 receiving yards and is second in 2A with 51 catches.

The Mustangs’ running has

had a good year, too. Sophomore Wes Cummings went beyond the 1,000-yard mark for the season last week. He’s scored 15 rushing touchdowns and also has 404 receiving yards and two more TDs. The one negative for PCM this week is the fact that junior Noah Anderson won’t play after injuring his ankle in the win over Roland-Story.

“Offensively, we feel like we have a few more threats (than R-S) and we will have to take advantage of what their defense is going to give us,” Bonnett said.

Oklahoma’s Mixon suspended for Thursday’s Iowa State game NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Joe Mixon is in trouble again.

Oklahoma’s electrifying running back has been suspended for the 12th-ranked Sooners’ Thursday night game at Iowa State for violating team rules.

The team made the announcement Tuesday night. Mixon apologized in a statement for having an altercation with “parking attendants,” Mixon but the team did not provide any other details.

“I regret that I did not respond appropriately to parking attendants and understand and accept the consequences,” Mixon said.

Mixon stepped onto Oklahoma’s campus in 2014 heralded as one of the nation’s top incoming freshmen, but he was suspended for an entire season after punching a woman in the face at a restaurant before the start of fall practice.

Many fans wanted him kicked off the team.

He came back and had a solid freshman year before blossoming this season. He ranks third nationally in all-purpose yards with 184.8 per game.

Against Texas Tech, he gained 263 yards rushing and 114 yards receiving to become the first Sooner ever with 200 yards rushing and 100 receiving in a game.

“I thought Joe Mixon just had a game for the ages,” Oklahoma coach

Bob Stoops said after the game. “Just incredible.”

Along the way, Mixon seemingly had put his problems behind him.

“He’s really matured well,” Stoops said earlier this season. “He’s been an Stoops excellent student.

He’s never on the list for anything.

He does everything you want him to do and been a great teammate. All of it. In the locker room, he’s one of the more popular guys because he’s a friend to everybody.”

Mixon has all the tools. He’s a 6-foot-1, 226-pound physical specimen with breakaway speed and the hands of a good wide receiver. He has gained 1,549 all-purpose yards this season — 813 rushing, 363 on kickoff returns, 357 receiving and 25 on punt returns. He returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown against Ohio State.

Even without Thursday’s game, he will remain in reach of DeMarco Murray’s school record of 2,171 yards set in 2008. He is already tied for 18th on the school’s single-season list, and he’ll still have four games, including a bowl game, to set the record.

With Samaje Perine already sidelined with an injury, Abdul Adams should be the team’s primary ballcarrier Thursday.

Adams ran for 91 yards on 13 carries in last Saturday’s 56-3 win over Kansas.

The Hawkeyes young wide receivers have struggled to get open — and they’re too often dropping the ball when they do.

Jerminic Smith has only 14 catches in seven starts.

Fellow sophomore Jay Scheel has only five catches in eight games — and he and Smith combined for 12 yards in a 17-9 loss to No. 8 Wisconsin on Oct. 22.

McCarron has caught 30 passes, but he’s also averaging just more than 11 yards per reception.

Those pedestrian numbers prompted Iowa to elevate freshman Devonte Young, who has yet to catch a college pass, into its rotation.

The Hawkeye do have other ways to score. Wadley and fellow back LeShun Daniels Jr. have combined for 1,285 rushing yards with 14 touchdowns.

Wadley also has 18 catches,

and it sounds like Iowa could experiment with Daniels as the lead back and Wadley out wide.

“You can put him anywhere on the field, and he has the ability to make plays with his feet,” Beathard said of Wadley.

“He’s a fast guy ... he’s got good hands as well.”

The healthy return of tight end George Kittle (sprained right foot) also should help Iowa expand its playbook.

But the final month of the regular season for Iowa includes three top 20 opponents in the Nittany Lions, No. 2 Michigan and No. 9 Nebraska.

The Hawkeyes will likely be underdogs in all three of those matchups — and a 6-6 finish could be on the table if their receivers can’t start to stretch defenses and allow Iowa to return to the kind of attack that has made it successful in the past.

The Wolverines’ defense will challenge PCM’s talented offensive line. Dike-New Hartford has 27 sacks, six interceptions and 68 tackles for loss on defense in 10 games this season.

The toughest player to block will be Ben Latusek, who ranks second in 2A with 11 sacks and third in tackles for loss with 17.

Latusek also has 45.5 tackles. Reeve Wheat has 45 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and six sacks.

“I think our offensive line will be up for the challenge,” Bonnett said. “They have watched enough film to know what they are up against. It will be their biggest test of the year so far, and I think they know that and are preparing for that.”

Other players who impact the Wolverines’ defense include Nick Durnin (75.5 tackles) and Clayton Mapel (two interceptions).

Durnin and Mapel are two playmakers along with Johnson on the offensive side of the ball, too.

Mapel leads the receivers with 23 catches, 304 yards and four TDs, while Durnin has 19 catches, 287 yards and three scores.

Mapel is a threat in special teams with two punt return touchdowns this season.

Cade Fuller has thrown for 585 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception.

Speaking of special teams, the Wolverines hope to use their kicker, Isaac Jorgensen, as a weapon on kickoffs. Of Jorgensen’s 61 kickoffs, 31 have gone for touchbacks.

The Mustangs have only punted 12 times this season.

The defense is allowing 8.3 points per game but only 4.55 during the nine-game winning streak.

Leading the way defensively are Clayton Welch, James Snodgrass and Greiner.

Welch has 12 tackles for loss, five sacks and two fumble recoveries, Greiner comes into the game with 11 tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries and Snodgrass has 11 tackles for loss.

The Mustangs’ defense has 13 interceptions on the year.

Speers (4) and Nick Dredge (3) have combined to grab seven of them.

The Wolverines, who reached the 1A semifinals last year, have won eight straight games.

Denver (25-22) and Gladbrook-Reinbeck (17-14) defeated Dike-New Hartford by a combined six points.

fitness and success in relationships will mark 2017. Virgo and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 12, 22 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your elastic heart will go to the far reaches and then snap back home. Because as much as you are capable of loving those far away and very different from you, the ones close to you need you more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Take the pressure off. Save the hard goals for another day.

When you go in with the intention of having fun, you’re more likely to hit a few of your other intentions along the way.

APPLY IN PERSON AT:

801 1st Ave. W. Newton, Iowa 50208

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re a giver. You would never shoo the breadbasket away without asking everyone else at the table if they wanted some. As for those who don’t share your good manners, well -- today you should take that as a red flag.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Love can sneak up and startle or it can sidle up like it’s always been there. Love is sure to change tones over and over for anyone who stays in long enough. Does it really matter who says “I love you” first?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Maybe they won’t like you when you’re mad, but when you get mad the very last thing you care about is whether or not they like you. In this regard,

and in many others, it all works out today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The best thing to strive for today (maybe the only thing worth striving for all week) is personal improvement. The worst thing to strive for is perfection, with approval coming in at a close second in the category.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Very impatient people are the very definition of uncool.

You’ll help yourself stay out of the category by planning ahead to avoid the obvious frustrations such as traffic and long lines.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Of course it’s rude not to call people back, but it’s maybe

worse to engage in the inevitable conversation that would happen were you to confront instead of avoid the person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Generally speaking, people don’t learn by talking.

There’s great potential to soak up exactly what you’ve been wanting to know, but you’ll have to listen more carefully than the others to get it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s funny about realizations. Sometimes they aren’t so “real” after all, especially if they come when tired or stressed or intoxicated. Write them down anyway, and see what they look like in the light of a different day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can’t believe all you hear, or, in today’s case, all you experience firsthand. As for the commotion that topples uncontrollably over this day, history will balance the tale, reveal its layered interest and also its usefulness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll be drawn to the winding, shady path. First of all, it’s cooler. Secondly, there’s more mystery when you don’t know what or whom you’ll find around each bend.

49ers coach Chip Kelly could be one and done in San Francisco

I

t was just a couple of months ago that we were hearing all was well in San Francisco with its new head coach, Chip Kelly.

Now we’re hearing there is a real chance Kelly will be one and done in the city by the bay, and we really can’t hang this one on Jed York or Trent Baalke.

After Kelly won a power struggle for personnel control in Philadelphia and then lost his job because he did such an awful job wielding that control, we’re hearing multiple reports of Kelly’s representatives testing the waters around several plum college job openings because he may be coming to the realization that he is just a better fit in the college game than he is in the NFL. With openings currently at LSU, Baylor and Purdue, and the possibility that jobs will open at Texas, Auburn, USC and Kelly’s old stomping grounds in Oregon, there may never be a better time for him to take the leap back to the game that made him so successful, as opposed to sticking with what may be the worst team in the NFL and showing no real promise of getting better fast.

According to our sources, Kelly’s “people” have been quietly planting seeds at most of the schools mentioned above, making it clear that if they do in fact end up with a search for a new coach, they might be pleasantly surprised

by Kelly’s willingness and desire to talk.

What is not yet clear, according to our sources, is how York and Baalke will react if what we’re hearing is correct.

The 49ers will continue to pay Jim Tomsula through 2018, $14 million in total, and certainly don’t want to pay Kelly anything not to coach for them as well. But if it turns out that Kelly is in fact out job shopping, it will also be very difficult for York and Baalke to justify keeping him in San Francisco.

Can it really just be three seasons ago (2013) that York and Baalke were the hottest management team in the NFL, and now they just can’t seem to stay out of their own way?

REPORT OF BEARS FOOTBALL CONSULTANT WELL OFF BASE We have confirmed with multiple sources very close to the situation that an NFL.com report of the Chicago Bears bringing in an outside consultant to evaluate their football operations with a particular focus on head coach John Fox

Chip Kelly AP PHOTOS

and his staff is terribly inaccurate at best.

What we do believe is that, according to our sources, there has been some consideration by Bears management of evaluating its business practices, and that ownership may have an interest in selling some of its stock to raise cash, although definitely not so much that it would leave the family with less than 51 percent control of the team.

We have heard that there may have been and may in fact still be some “consultants” around Halas Hall, but that they are there to assist in the business side of the operation and possibly in valuing the equity in the business with no focus at all on the football side.

The NFL.com report falls apart when it says, “As for the front office and general manager Ryan Pace, the current view from inside is that two years is far too quick to judge those tabbed with acquiring talent, especially with the 2016 draft class showing flashes of being a strong one.”

Team Chairman George McCaskey and President and CEO Ted Phillips went to great lengths when Pace was hired to make clear he had complete control of the football operation, including hiring and firing coaches.

If you believe Pace is safe – which he clearly is – why would they bring someone else in to do his job for him?

Perhaps Fox is on shaky ground – although not according to our sources – but if he is, the Bears are not looking for outside help to tell them how to handle it.
