Breckenridge clinches victory in Iowa House 29 race Payton falls short by 2,100 votes; incumbent distant third

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Wes Breckenridge was elected Iowa House District 29 Representative after winning 51 percent of the vote in a three-way race during Tuesday’s general election.

Breckenridge, who had defeated three-term incumbent

Dan Kelley to win the June Democratic primary, defeated both Republican Patrick Payton and Kelley, who ran as a third party candidate, to claim the seat.

Breckenridge, who received 7,902 votes, outpaced Payton by about a 2,100-vote margin, or 37 percent. Kelley finished with 1,758 votes, or 11 percent.

“There are so many people who helped make this happen, starting with my family and my committee,” Breckenridge said. “This was a long, hardfought battle. It was not a pretty battle. This last little stint of the general election got kind of nasty, and it’s unfortunate.

I want to thank everybody for taking the high road.”

Payton ran for Iowa House in 2014, but lost to Kelley by about 900 votes. Payton has no BRECKENRIDGE | 3A

Republican Doug Cupples secured 59 percent of the vote Tuesday to earn a seat on the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

Cupples defeated Democrat Sandy Shaver and Libertarian Keith Laube to claim the seat being vacated

by Dennis Stevenson.

“I am humbled at the fact that people think that much of me to vote for me like that,” Cupples said. “It does feel good to get the win, but again I am grateful for the

fact that people were willing to trust in me to do that, that we are able to have the kind of a turn out.”

Cupples handily defeated Shaver by more than 5,000 votes — 10,959 to 5,944 — according to unofficial election tallies released by the Jasper County Auditor’s Office. Laube received 8.9 percent of votes cast or 1,647 votes.

In June, Cupples faced challenger Mark Sutter in the primary and defeated him by 322 votes.

Republican Grassley Loebsack earns convincing re-election to U.S. House

By Mike Mendenhall wins 7th Senate term, Newton Daily News defeats Judge U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa City) cruised to a sixth The Associated Press

DES MOINES — Republican Charles Grassley on Tuesday won a seventh U.S. Senate term, defeating Democrat Patty Judge and extending a political winning streak that stretches to the 1950s.

Judge, a former state lieutenant governor, had been seen by national party officials as the Democrats’ best hope to dislodge Grassley. The Republican has never lost an election, with a string of victories that started with winning a legislative seat in 1958 and continued with his election to

the U.S. House in 1974 and Senate in 1980.

In a statement released on Election Night, Loebsack said he’s eager to return to Washington.

“I am honored to be able to again serve the people of Iowa and our country,” he said. “Now it is time that we get back to work fighting for middle class families. I will continue to work to help move our great nation forward.”

District-wide, with 423 of 424 precincts reporting, Loebsack won with 53.6 percent of the vote. A total of 368,854 votes were cast in the 423 precincts

Voters turn out for annual Election Night Dinner

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News MONROE — Volunteers hustling from room to room, lines out of the door and people patiently waiting their turn.

That may sound like the scene at a voting location on election night, but it was actually the Annual Election Night Turkey Dinner at the United Methodist Church in Monroe.

For more than 55 years the church has held the dinner to feed hungry voters and raise money for the church, and its mission project for just $10 per person.

“We started out with the guild having about 15 members and we had a supper right

before Thanksgiving and we probably had about 50 people the first year,” organizer Marcy Romick said. “From that, each year it has just grown.”

Grown might be an understatement with the last presidential election bringing in more than 500 people to the dinner. With a take out option available along with the sit down meal, a host of volunteers is needed along with enough food to fill everyone’s plates.

“We have such a great church participation with these events,” Romick said. “If we didn’t, we couldn’t put them on.”

This year, the church made 15 turkeys totaling 330 pounds of meat, 125 pounds of pota-

toes, 70 pounds of coleslaw, used 30 loaves of bread to make dressing and had dozens of pies to round out the meal. Volunteers were up and at work by 6:15 a.m. on Tuesday to prepare all of the food and the parking lot was full by the 5 p.m. start time.

Like voter turn out, turn out at the dinner typically increases during presidential elections.

Even in the off years, though, Romick said they see about 350 diners on election night.

“People have known about it for a long time and all we have to do is put the sign up and they come,” Romick said.

Mormons preach love for LGBT members, but no doctrinal shift SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Mormon leaders told gay and lesbian members Tuesday that attraction to people of the same sex is not a sin or a measure of their faithfulness and may never go away, but reminded them that having sex violates fundamental doctrinal beliefs that will not change.

The newly unveiled “Mormon and Gay” church website includes articles, teachings, videos and stories from church members who identify themselves as gay and lesbian. It is a remake of a site first created nearly four years ago that marked the religion’s most significant outreach to gays and lesbians.

The website is designed to encourage compassion and acceptance for LGBT people and strike a softer tone on an issue that has led to criticism of the conservative Utah-based The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently.

The Mormon church is one of many conservative faith groups staunchly upholding theological opposition to same-sex relationships amid widespread social acceptance and the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision legalizing gay marriage, while attempting to foster an empathetic stance toward LGBT people.

“There is no change in the church’s position of what is morally right,” church leader Dallin H. Oaks said on the website. “But what is changing and what needs to change is helping church members respond sensitively and thoughtfully when they encounter same-sex attraction in their own families, among other church members, or elsewhere.”

The website may seem “pitiful” to non-Mormons supportive of gay rights victories, but is a positive step for LGBT Latter-day Saints, said Kendall Wilcox, a gay Mormon man involved in church focus groups during the creation of the website.

The acknowledgment of the pain and conflict that gay and lesbian Mormons endure, is comforting and should help heterosexual Mormons better understand gay and lesbian experiences, Wilcox said.

Local & State News Breckenridge Continued from Page 1A plans to run for another office anytime soon, saying he’ll focus on building the strength of the party in Jasper County. “First, I congratulate Wes on his win,� Payton said. “It’s tough to run as a Republican in this district.

There are a lot of Democrats here.

But I thank everyone who put time into this campaign. I am the former chair of our county party, and some people really worked really hard this year.�

to 2,100— but only a slim edge of fewer than 200 votes in Election Day voting.

Kelley first won the District 29 seat in 2010. He was chosen as the Democratic nominee at a hotly contested special nomination convention held after the sudden death of longtime legislator Paul Bell.

Kelley went on to win the District 29 general election in 2010 and was re-elected in 2012 and 2014.

Kelley issued a statement via email shortly after polls closed. “I am proud of my supporters for standing up to bullies,� Kelley said. “That’s how we do things in Jasper County — and we always will.�

Most of the Jasper County precincts had their results posted on the Iowa Secretary of State’s web-

site within 25 minutes of the polls closing at 9 p.m., but two precincts were not reported until well after 10 p.m.

Breckenridge, a Newton Police lieutenant, said there are many issues Jasper County voters want to address, or address differently, in Des Moines. Medicaid oversight, school funding and improved availability of mental health services were among his stated priorities during his campaign. “That’s one of the things I said from the get-go,� Breckenridge said. “Continue to take that positive attitude. We’ve stayed positive and we’ve worked hard. This is vindication. Now we’ve got to get some things done. I’m going to need all of your help and support as we move forward.�

Loebsack will remain Iowa’s lone Democratic elected official in Washington with Republican Congressmen Steve King, Rod Blum and David Young and Sen. Chuck Grassley winning re-election.

Loebsack said he would return to the nation’s capitol Monday and “put his nose to the grindstone� with an agenda which includes job creation, strengthening the economic recovery and allowing rural Iowans greater access to mental health services.

During his 10 years in office Loebsack has co-sponsored the Rural Health Care Connectivity Act which provides funding for skilled nursing fa-

cilities with internet access to aid patient treatment and provides small, regional hospitals with technology resources.

The congressman frequently touts his SECTORS Act, which passed the House in 2014, but was not taken up by the Senate. The bill aims to close skills gaps between workers and employers by creating a grant program that connects community colleges and local businesses. Jobs and economic growth has been a central theme of Loebsack’s time in office and he said Tuesday he does not see that changing.

The congressman said a lack of quality jobs available to American workers contributed to the “anger and frustration� voters’ expressed Tuesday night at the ballot box. But the ability to break the gridlock in Washington,

Unity will have to wait O

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

K, folks, here’s the deal: now that our 2016 election is over, we need unity — but we’re not going to get it.

Sadly, unity, once an essential ingredient of homecooked democracy, might have become a delicacy we must do without. This election season has both divided Americans much deeper than a sports or business rivalry and revealed the kind of deeper divisions that usually occur between nations.

In fact, some Americans seem to identify more closely with other countries than with their fellow nationals who are members of a very distant opposing party.

Rather than issue the same old trite, meaningless call for us all the come together and back our winners, it seems it’s time to embrace our differences and accept we’ve simply grown into two or

more completely separate pockets of people.

We’re simply going to have to figure out how to get along and move forward and find solutions, even as we have learned how deep our differences have become. We’re running out of time. Our divisions might not rip the entire nation apart any time soon, but that’s a chance we can’t afford to take. We have to sit down and figure out basic compromises on everything from environmental practices to criminal justice reform.

If our gaps were as simple as liberal and conservative, or divides of a religious or nationalistic nature, we’d be able to resolve such simple conflicts. We’ve done that for 250 years. It’s the idea and worldview differences that are harder to bridge.

It’s tempting to say we must close the wedge between urban and rural ways of

living and prioritizing. Indeed, five days per week of driving from the Jordan Creek Town Center area to Newton and more rural parts of Iowa reveal a stark contrast on many levels, but there are liberals in the country and conservative folks in the city, so it can’t be simplified that way.

One issue is that so many government ideas, especially on a national scale, seem to not work. Either the solution doesn’t really materialize, or unintended consequences arise, and half the country calls it a terrible idea.

Maybe our leaders should frequently announce their ideas will only work for about half of their constituencies. At the very least, we could go easier on unfunded mandates and harder into A or B options, especially on choices such as health care or Social Security, and let Americans use social media to brag that their decision worked out well.

We also need less intentional division.

It’s not clear how much of “us vs. them” can be blamed on one party or on national-level politics, but it has to stop. If

you’re publicly name-calling or labeling or blasting a group for being the problem with America, you’re missing the point — what are we going to do about so many groups with so many priorities?

We need answers rather than labels and categories. Lastly, we need to celebrate more of our differences. We come from such diverse backgrounds and cultures, we spend more time thinking about how insensitive others our to our needs than it meeting those needs ourselves.

Rural Iowans do a great job of staying in touch with customs and traditions.

This needs to happen in larger towns and cities as well. We need to stay connected to the roots that made us who we are today.

Maybe the divide is too great, and we’ll eventually grow apart, either in an arduous split or simply a dissolve into pockets of groups living together across the country. But it seems we have at least a few more years to find solutions — without the luxury of unity.

Another View Chuck Collins

How to strengthen our democracy

Throughout this trying election season, we’ve been told how much is at stake with our vote. But the success of any democracy depends on continuing to pay attention long after we cast our ballots.

So let’s pledge to strengthen our democracy with a few resolutions to focus our intentions and keep us moving forward over the next four years.

1. Change your media diet.

Way too much ink, airtime, and mental real estate has been consumed by the horserace reporting on elections — it’s all about who’s winning and losing. So unplug from the talk shows that interview pollsters and engage in partisan bickering all day.

Find the commentators and independent media outlets that strengthen our civic life.

2. Turn off corporate media.

This election has been very profitable for big media corporations, but bad for our democracy. As CBS chairman Les Moonves remarked, “Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? The money’s rolling in and this is fun.”

Our differences have been compounded by media reports that amplify the loudest and most partisan utterances. Election coverage this year has encouraged us to view one another as cartoon caricatures, not neighbors.

3. Reject the consumer mentality in elections.

We’re encouraged to view national elections like consumers buying a car, but presidential elections can make most of us feel like spectators, not participants. Election Day is a small part of our real democracy — think of voting as a tiny fraction of your civic life.

4. Make your voice heard.

Pledge to communicate with your elected officials all year round, not just when they want your vote.

Call, write, email, and attend community forums.

When a politician hears from a dozen constituents with the same concern, it matters.

A few resolutions must address our polarized political atmosphere. The only way to break through this is by connecting with people we don’t always agree with.

For instance, the liberal California sociologist Arlie Hochschild spent five years interviewing conservative Tea Party activists in Louisiana, making friends and asking deep questions. She urges us all to scale the “empathy wall” and learn each other’s stories.

Here’s a few easy ways to get started.

5.Try a social media fast.

Social media is amazing, but it mostly serves as an echo chamber to reinforce our existing views. It’s not a substitute for talking to people, asking questions, and learning why people support certain policies.

6. Practice the art of civil discourse.

Find ways to meet others face-to-face to engage in conversations, not soapbox speeches and debates.

Look at the “Living Room Conversation” movement that brings people together across political divisions. Their goal is to encourage “authentic, respectful conversations” to “strengthen relationships and advance understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and solutions before us.”

Finally, other resolutions should focus on changing our polarizing election system.

7. Eliminate the wealth primary.

Long before voters cast their ballots in a primary, big money donors have winnowed the field and selected who will stand for election. People all across the political spectrum agree that we need fundamental campaign finance reform to reduce the influence of big money, including the repeal of Citizens United.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

A light in our darkness Tragedy struck way to close to home last week when two Des Moines area officers were murdered for the uniform they wear and the freedoms they stand for.

It’s difficult to describe the emotions our officers were feeling after hearing of the loss of their brothers and hearing murderer was still on the loose. Thankfully, for everyone’s sake, he was caught rather quickly. Over the past week, I have tried to make sense of such a senseless situation. The truth is I don’t think any one of us can put words to the tragedy that occurred so close to home.

Police officers know the dangers they face when they pin on the badge and report for duty, but it doesn’t make these senseless acts any easier. In 2016 ambush attacks on law enforcement officers, like what occurred in the Des Moines metro, is up 167 per-

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Nov. 9, 2016

Boyfriend consumed by video games reveals himself a loser DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Ian” for seven months. We met at work, and my friends convinced me to go out with him. I thought he was a nice guy, just shy. Now that we’ve been dating, I realize that’s not the case.

Ian plays video games A LOT. They consume his life. He gets so aggravated that he slams buttons and curses incessantly. My nerves can’t handle hearing it. I have anxiety issues, and when he does it, I nearly have a panic attack. When I tell him it’s just a game, he won’t listen.

He is also critical of me. It’s mostly about my weight, but he also tells me I’m horrible and stupid. He complains about the way I play video games, my cooking, etc. Sometimes he loses his temper and snaps at me.

He has slapped me a few times.

He’s never intimate with me, but I know he’s straight because he watches porn when he thinks I’m asleep. We pretty much lead separate lives, but he talks about us getting our own place. We no longer work at the same company. I have a parttime job and go to school full time, but he won’t even look for a job.

Part of me wants to end it. But this is my first real relationship, and I’m not sure if I can do any better.

Help! — CONFLICTED IN VIRGINIA DEAR CONFLICTED: End it NOW! You are looking at this the wrong way. From where I sit, it would be practically impossible for you to have a worse relationship than this one. Ian is immature, emotionally and physically abusive and unemployed. Men who care about women don’t treat them the way he treats you.

Ian should not move anywhere with you. If he does, you will have a

heck of a time getting this freeloader out. Not only that, you won’t be able to find anyone else because it will appear that you’re already “involved.”

DEAR ABBY: I hear people all around me talk about their grandkids and the great times they have.

I have grandkids, too, but I don’t know how to be a grandmother. My mother didn’t have the skill, and I don’t know what to do.

I’m in my early 50s, and I’m trying to do things now that I didn’t get to do when I was young. I raised my kids. Am I supposed to spend all my time with them? I’m not sure I even want to. Does that make me selfish?

— LOST GRANDMA IN VIRGINIA DEAR LOST GRANDMA: You don’t have to spend “all” your time with your grandchildren. You should, however, see them every few weeks if possible so you can get to know each other.

Because you’re not sure how to do that, ask their parents and some of your friends for suggestions on how to entertain them. It could be as simple as taking them to a movie, attending some of their school or sporting events, baking cookies together or taking them to a park during an afternoon.

Work with fallen soldiers drives Brown 65 years later

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — Bill Brown was a teenager in Colfax during World War II. His family home on Front Street sat next to the passenger rail lines where Brown saw trains carrying hundreds of servicemen waving on their way to war.

It’s a sight, Brown said, that’s still with him in 2016.

“I’ll never forget seeing troop train, after troop train, after troop train going by with all of these servicemen and they’d wave at you as they were going by. The trains were so long, and there were so many of them,” Brown said. “Knowing that they’re going to fight for me, those are things I won’t forget.”

The sight of, during that time, men so willing to give the ultimate sacrifice inspired Brown and was the catalyst for his entry into the Iowa Army National Guard and eventually active duty United States Army during the Korean War. Brown served in the Army from 1951-1956. Following his basic training at Fort Chaffee, Ark., Brown was stationed at the Yokohama, Japan seaport. His duty was to inventory the caskets of dead military personnel returning from the Korean peninsula en route to their final voyage home.

Brown and his department would work long hours to ensure the fallen made it to their final destination. The 86-year-old Army veteran said the image of hundreds of caskets filling a massive warehouse still comes back to him as if it happened yesterday.

“To see all those people who

Mike Mendenhall/Jasper County Tribune United States Army veteran Bill Brown, 86, stands in front of the new Colfax Veterans Memorial currently under construction in Mineral Springs Park Monday. Brown served in the Iowa Army National Guard and U.S Army from 1951-1956, stationed in Yokohama, Japan during the Korean War.

had given their utmost for our freedom. It’s a scene I’ll never forget,” Brown said. “Stack after stack, the whole warehouse was full of the remains of those who had given their all. ... It’s terrible seeing your comrades out in the field where the war is going on, but to see so many of them together is difficult.”

But his time in Japan wasn’t all filled with sadness. Brown was able to do something he “truly enjoyed” while overseas, officiating the football and baseball games played between U.S. military teams stationed in the country.

Brown said he lost many friends in the war and the images of rows of caskets is still his motivator. Today he is commander of the Colfax American Legion Jones-Willis Post 175 and has been one of the lead voices in the effort to complete a new veterans memorial in Mineral Springs Park.

Brown will be giving an construction update on the $50,000 project at Friday’s annual Colfax-Mingo Community School District Veteran’s Day Celebration. He hopes projects like the memorial will not only honor the service of vets, but also spark renewed interest in the Colfax Legion and AMVETS organizations.

Brown said there are roughly 30 active members in the local Legion, and many members double up to serve in both Colfax veterans groups. But nearly all the members are in their 70s and 80s, and Brown said younger Colfax-area armed services veterans need to get involved to keep the organizations strong into the future.

“All of us are getting up there in age. We need the younger people to take over,” he said.

Republican incumbent Amy Sinclair defended her Iowa Senate District 14 seat against independent Ruth Smith in Tuesday’s election by earning 74.2 percent of the vote.

A total of 26,225 ballots were cast in the race for District 14, which extends to the southeast corner of Jasper County.

Sinclair received 19,455 votes, and 6,745 were cast for Smith.

“I am absolutely excited and honored to serve for another four years,” Sinclair said. “I cannot be more excited to serve and move forward for Iowa’s economy and Iowa’s families.”

Sinclair, who had served two terms on the Wayne County Board of Supervisors, currently serves as the finance and facilities chair for the board of directors for the South Central Iowa Community Action Program.

She is also an active

board member for the 10-15 Regional Transit System, Iowa’s 5th Judicial District, South Iowa Area Crime Commission, Southeast Iowa Response Group-Hazmat Operations, Community Health Centers of Southern Iowa and Chariton Valley Transportation Planning Affiliate.

With Tuesday’s victory, Sinclair will serve a second four-year term in the Iowa State Senate.

The term will end in January of 2021.

Ruth Smith, Sinclair’s

opponent, could not be reached for comment before presstime.

Other than a portion of Jasper County, Iowa Senate District 14 covers the entirety of Clarke, Decatur, Wayne and Lucas counties and a majority of Marion County.

In Jasper County, a total of 2,884 ballots were cast in five precincts for the District 14 seat with Sinclair receiving 81.4 percent.

Heartsill wins third term in House District 28

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) won his re-election bid for Iowa House District 28 Tuesday night against Democratic challenger Martin Duffy of Knoxville to serve a third consecutive term.

Heartsill won Jasper County by 51.7 percentage points and topped District 28 by a 29.5 percent margin. Voters cast 14,808 ballots in the Iowa House race — 9,580 for Heartsill and 5,214 for Duffy. Jasper County gave Heartsill 2,377 votes in the race and only 755 for Duffy.

Heartsill’s party had a voter registration ad-

vantage in District 28 — which includes most of Marion County, the eastern half of Lucas County and the southeastern third of Jasper County — going into Election Night. According to the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office, 36.6 percent of the district’s active voters identified as Republicans and 36.5 percent identifying as “no party.”

The Republican congressman was first elected to the Iowa House in 2012. Since then, Heartsill has called economic growth in Iowa stagnate. With the Iowa Senate majority shifting to Republican control, Heartsill says tax and regulatory reform in the

state will be a key part of his legislative pallet in the coming session and could be easier to get through the non-divided legislature.

“I’m honored by the voters of House District 28 this amount of support and this amount of confidence in me,” Heartsill said in a phone interview Tuesday night. “It looks like the dynamics of the (Iowa) Senate will change in this session as well. As Republicans, we’ve been wanting to spur economic growth with legislation on the House side, but have been stymied by the Senate (Democratic) majority.”

But Heartsill said the House and new Senate

Outspoken conservative Steve King wins 8th term representing Iowa’s 4th district DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Steve King has been re-elected to an eighth term in the U.S. House, representing Iowa’s sprawling 4th Congressional District.

King beat Democrat Kim Weaver on Tuesday in the conservative district, which stretches over 39 counties of north and northwest Iowa. RegisKing tered Republicans outnumber Democrats by

nearly 70,000 voters in the district.

In her campaign, Weaver, of Sheldon, argued King was an ineffective lawmaker who was primarily interested in making divisive statements on topics ranging from immigration to whether Harriet Tubman’s image should be added to the $20 bill.

Voters, however, have re-elected King by wide margins ever since his first House election in 2002.

King campaigned on his call to stop illegal immigration, repeal the affordable care act, block same-sex marriage and expand gun rights.

minorities should have input, and said addressing Iowa’s water quality crisis could be a key bipartisan effort in the coming session.

Duffy, a retired high school social studies teacher and small business owner, said Tuesday he was pleased to see a high voter turnout in District 28 and wished his opponent well.

“I wasn’t surprised.

I knew how hard this would be,” Duffy said.

“It’s been a lot of fun.

It’s been a wonderful trip and I met a lot of wonderful people. I put a lot of miles on my car, knocked on a lot of doors and in the end the people had to choose and re-elected Mr.

GOP wins Iowa Senate, controls both chambers DES MOINES (AP) — Republicans have won a majority in the Iowa Senate, giving the GOP control of both legislative chambers and the governor’s office.

By winning control of the Senate in Tuesday’s election, Republicans now are better po-

sitioned to move ahead on a conservative agenda backed by Gov. Terry Branstad. For years, Senate Democrats have blocked Republican initiatives on a range of issues, including same-sex marriage, gun control and abortion restrictions.

The 100-member House and 50-member Senate haven’t been controlled by the same party since the 2008 and 2009 sessions, when Democrats held majorities in both chambers. At that time, a Democrat, Chet Culver, also held the governor’s office.

Young re-elected in Iowa’s 3rd district, topping Democrat Mowrer Blum wins re-election

DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Rod Blum has won a second term representing Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, beating Democrat Monica Vernon.

Blum won Tuesday’s election in the northeast Iowa district, made up of 20 counties, despite a significant Democratic voter registration edge over Blum

Republicans. Non-affiliated voters outnumber those registered to either party in the district.

Blum, a businessman from Dubuque, has taken conservative stands, including calling for repeal of the affordable care act and supporting tax cuts. He has been especially critical of House leadership and supported the removal of former Speaker John Boehner.

Vernon is a businesswoman and former member of the Cedar Rapids City Council.

DES MOINES (AP) — Voters in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District have given Republican David Young a second term.

Young won his re - e l e c tion bid Young Tu e s -

day over Democrat Jim Mowrer in a district that stretches from Des Moines to Council Bluffs.

Young, a longtime aide to U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley before being elected to the House in 2014, has focused on veterans issues, including efforts to improve a crisis hotline for vets. Young supported Republican Donald

Trump’s presidential bid but unlike most Iowa GOP elected officials, he hasn’t appeared with Trump at rallies.

Mowrer served in the Iowa Army National Guard, including time in Iraq, and also stressed veterans’ issues.

Mowrer previously ran for Iowa’s 4th Congressional District seat in 2014, losing to Republican Steve King.

Iowa voters pick Trump, but unhappy with both candidates CHICAGO (AP) — Donald Trump’s victory in Iowa was propelled by voters who are deeply unhappy with the federal government and say they want change, even though many have reservations about both candidates, according to exit polls conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press and television networks.

Trump won the support of white men and those with less than a college education, while Democrat Hillary Clinton drew support from college-educated women, minority voters and younger voters. At the same time, voters were skeptical, doubting the honesty and trustworthiness of both candidates.

A closer look at the mood of the electorate:

said their vote reflected their dislike for the other candidate. Just 4 in 10 said they strongly favored their candidate.

ISSUES AND CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS More than half of voters said the economy was the top issue facing the country, and they split their votes between Clinton and Trump. Almost one-fifth said terrorism was most important, and they favored Trump. Slightly more than 1 in 10 cited immigration as a top issue, but those who did overwhelmingly favored Trump. About the same proportion worried most about foreign pol-

icy, and more than 6 in 10 of them chose Clinton.

More than 4 in 10 voters said they most wanted a candidate who can bring needed change, with a large majority of them voting for Trump. Clinton received overwhelming support from voters who wanted someone with the right experience and more than half the votes from those who valued a candidate with good judgment and someone who cares about people like them.

Only 4 in 10 voters believed Trump had the temperament or qualifications to be president, while about half believed that Clinton did.

SENATE RACE In the U.S. Senate race, Republican incumbent Chuck Grassley won over men and woman and led in all age categories against his opponent, Democrat Patty Judge. More than 6 in 10 men voted for Grassley, as did more than half of women.

The survey of 2,844 Iowa voters was conducted for AP and the television networks

by Edison Research. This includes preliminary results from interviews conducted as voters left a random sample of 40 precincts statewide Tuesday, as well as 662 who voted early or absentee and were interviewed by landline or cellular telephone from Oct. 28 through Nov. 6. Results for the full sample were subject to sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points; it is higher for subgroups.

VOTER DISCONTENT A large proportion of voters — 7 in 10 — were either dissatisfied or angry about the way the federal government is working, with 6 in 10 who felt that way voting for Trump. Among the 3 in 10 with a positive view of the federal government, almost 8 in 10 voted for Clinton.

But they weren’t particularly happy with either candidate, with about 6 in 10 saying they had an unfavorable opinion of Clinton and Trump. About 6 in 10 also said they didn’t think either Clinton or Trump was honest and trustworthy.

What’s more, 3 in 10 voters said they liked their candidates but had reservations, while the same proportion

ing 6 in 10 white men — supported Trump. Two-thirds of nonwhite voters supported Clinton, though they comprised only about one-tenth of those who cast ballots.

Clinton led among voters ages 18-24, getting half of their votes, while Trump drew his strongest support from voters 25-29 and 40-49.

Clinton received more than half the votes from white college-educated women, compared to about one-third for Trump, while Trump had solid majorities among both college- and non-college-educated men, including more than 6 in 10 white men without a college degree.

Trump rides chutzpah to victory in presidential race WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — He felt it in the breeze.

Nearing the end of his long, improbable journey to victory in the presidential race, Donald Trump, the candidate of so much tumult and bluster, waxed nostalgic about how he got there.

“I had great parents, great parents,” Trump told the crowd at a rally in steamy Orlando, Florida. “I just felt that nice breeze, so they’re helping us out.”

The candidate who for more than a year had unapologetically demonstrated he would say anything sensed it was time to rein it in.

“Stay on point, Donald, stay on point,” he publicly admonished himself just days before the election. “No sidetracks, Donald.

Nice and easy.”

It was a rare glimpse of internal dialogue in the man whose whole life has been one long battle to prove himself bigger, louder, richer, smarter, brassier than the next guy.

Trump’s unbounded confidence — and obsession with winning — have been a lifelong constant, evident in ways large and small.

Growing up as one of five children in a well-to-do Queens real estate family, Donald was the brash one, a fighter from the start.

“We gotta calm him down,” his father would say, as Trump recalls it. “Son, take the lumps out.”

AP Photo Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump cheer as they watch election returns during an election night rally, Tuesday in New York.

For good or ill, it’s advice Trump rarely embraced.

Military school helped channel his energy, but Trump’s rebellious streak remained.

Trump followed his father into real estate but chafed within the confines of Fred Trump’s realm in New York’s outer boroughs.

He crossed the East River to Manhattan and never looked back.

“He’s gone way beyond me, absolutely,” an admiring Fred marveled. His son had hit it big well before he hit 40.

So successful at such a young age, Trump never did have to smooth out those lumps his father had

warned about.

“He was at the top of his own pyramid,” says Stanley Renshon, a political psychologist at the City University of New York who is writing a book about Trump. “Nobody was going to say, ‘Donald, tone it down.’”

Trump admitted as much in a 2005 “Access Hollywood” hot-mic video when he talked about making predatory moves on women and declared, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

Trump stresses his Ivy League education, yet revels in juvenile jabs, labeling his adversaries “stupid,” ‘’dumb,” ‘’bad” and “sad.”

“I have the best words,” he declared at a December campaign rally. “But there’s no better word than ‘stupid,’ right?”

With no one to shush or second-guess him, Trump made brashness his way, along with his trademark glitz and flash.

(Flash, in Trump’s lexicon, registers a level below glitz.)

Through years of boom, bust and more than a decade of reality-TV celebrity on “The Apprentice,” the deals kept coming and the price tags (and, often, the debt) kept growing — as did the hype. Always the hype.

Trump, visiting Scotland in 2012 to fight the government’s

proposed wind farm off the shore of his new golf resort there, was asked during a parliamentary inquiry to provide evidence for his claim that the “monstrous turbines” would hurt tourism.

“I am the evidence,” Trump answered in all seriousness, drawing laughter from the galleries. “I am a worldclass expert in tourism.”

He’s not all chutzpah, though.

Ivanka Trump tells of her “incredibly empathetic” father reaching out to help strangers he sees mentioned in the news whose stories of adversity touch him.

A Mississippi man remembers Trump

picking up the phone to call when the man’s father wrote to ask for a loan to build a hotel back in 1988. Trump didn’t offer a loan to the Indian-American small businessman but did give him a pep talk and some advice.

“Trump inspired my father to the fullest when he told him that Dad’s immigrant story was wonderful,” Suresh Chawla wrote in a 2015 letter to The Clarksdale (Mississippi) Press Register.

For all the protesters who roil his rallies, Trump himself has been the heckler of our time. No one is immune. Not senator and war hero John McCain, not the disabled, not Mexicans, not Muslims, not even those people who make up a majority of the country (and the electorate): women.

Vanquished rivals learned to their peril that to criticize Trump was to set off the nuclear option in response.

Trump calls it having a little fun.

Aubrey Immelman, a political psychologist at Saint John’s University in Minnesota who has developed a personality index to assess presidential candidates, puts Trump’s level of narcissism in the “exploitative” range, surpassing any presidential nominee’s score in the past two decades.

“His personality is his best friend, but it’s also his worst enemy,” says Immelman.

Cardinal football players receive Class 4A District 4 honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Stepping back into Iowa high school’s Class 4A football competition, Newton High’s Cardinals had a strong season. No, they didn’t make the playoff — that was West Des Moines Valley and Southeast Polk out of the Class 4 District 4.

The Cardinals finished third in the district at 2-3.

Newton notched a 6-3 overall mark in its first season back in Class 4A football.

Newton’s players were recognized by Class 4A District 4 coaches for their efforts, earning four first-team and four second-team spots among the All-District 4 selections. The Cardinals had eight players receive honorable mention honors from district coaches.

All-district selections were recently released.

Cardinal seniors Brady Smith, Caden Manning, Reese Rosenquist and Caleb Kite were named All-District 4 First-Team. Seniors Jordan Norvell and Alex Miller and juniors Garrett Sturtz and Trevor Ergenbright were named to the All-District 4 Second Team.

Receiving honorable mention honors for Newton were seniors Lucas Montgomery and Josh Gulling, juniors Joe Busch, Grayson Graham, Blayden Rhone, Jaron Roush and Zach Combs and sophomore Jaise Gulling.

“We’re proud of these players who represent how hard our entire team worked this season,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said.

“It reflects the dedication our players have to the team, our program, our school and our community.”

Smith led the district in solo tackles with 44 as a 6-foot, 200-pound linebacker for Newton. Smith had eight assisted tackles, five tackles for loss and one forced fumble. He missed two games with an injury.

Rosenquist, who is 6-feet and 185 pounds, played on both sides of the football for Newton as a linebacker on defense and a running back on offense. He led the team in rushing — 102 carries for 640 yards and seven touchdowns, which was third in the district.

Rosenquist was second in solo tackles among district defensive players with 43 and added 12 assisted tackles.

Rosenquist’s 22 tackles for loss tied him for the top spot in that category in Class 4A with Johnson Mator of Cedar Rapids Kennedy.

Rosenquist also had six quarterback sacks. He had a safety, a fumble recovery and an interception.

Working along the defensive line in the nose guard and tackle spots this season, Kite recorded 13 unassisted tackles and 17 assisted tackles. He had 3.5 tackles for loss and an assisted quarterback sack.

Kite recovered a fumble for a

touchdown and forced a fumble this season.

“Brady had a great season.

He was the vocal leader on defense, setting us up each play.

Caleb and Brady worked in tandem in the middle of our defense. Both worked very hard in the weight room and it paid off for them,” Ergenbright said.

“Reese was our spark plug on both sides of the ball. He had 22 tackles for loss on defense and was one short of our school career record,” Ergenbright said. “He was all over the field, pursuing the football on defense. Offensively, he ran hard and had some big runs for us in big situations.”

Manning has been a threeyear starter on the Cardinal offensive line. The 6-foot-3inch, 270-pound offensive tackle had earned Class 3A district honors as a junior.

Manning, Miller and Montgomery played key roles up front on the offensive line to help Newton lead District 4 in rushing — 2,472 yards on 429 rush attempts, which is a 5.8-yard per carry average.

Valley rushed for 2,171 yards on 333 carries (6.5 average).

“Caden, Alex and Lucas were why we were able to run the ball effectively all season,” Ergrenbright said. “Caden was a strong leader by example on and off the field for our team. We moved him to pulling guard at the end of the

season. Alex is Mr. Steady playing offense and defense.

We asked Lucas to move to offensive tackle for us when we lost Trenton Brady. Lucas had been planning only playing defense and wasn’t too keen on moving. He did it for us, and did a fantastic job.”

Miller was a 5-foot-9-inch, 235-pound offensive guard and played some nose guard for the Cardinals’ defense.

Montgomery became a steady force along the offensive line as a 6-foot-3-inch, 275-pound tackle.

Norvell was Newton’s second-leading rusher with 577 yards on 84 carries, averaging 6.9 yards a carry. The 5-foot9-inch, 165-pound running back was fifth among District 4 rushers. He had five touchdowns.

“Jordan made tough runs for us all season. He had a tremendous final game, which we needed from him to be successful that night,” Ergenbright said. “We had three players rushed for more than 100 yards in that win over Indianola. That was great.”

Norvell, Rosenquist and Sturtz each had more than 100 yards rushing in the 4528 win over Indianola to end the season.

Sturtz, 6-foot-3 inches and 160 pounds, directed the Newton offense as starting quarterback for the second straight season. Trevor Ergen-

bright was the team’s leading receiver. The 5-foot-9-inch, 150-pound junior was third in receptions in the district and eighth in kickoff returns.

Sturtz finished as Newton’s third-leading rusher with 475 yards on 88 carries and four rushing touchdowns. Sturtz and Ergenbright became the Cardinals’ top passing connection. Sturtz was 50-of-80 for 731 yards with five TD passes and four interceptions.

Ergenbright caught 28 passes for 504 yards and three touchdowns.

Ergenbright returned 12 kickoffs for 277 yards. He had one kickoff return for a touchdown. Sturtz also punted for Newton — 19 punts for 711 yards, which was a 37-yard average.

“Garrett and Trevor formed a great connection in our passing game. Trevor did a great job of getting open and Garrett threw the ball on target. Garrett did an outstanding job running our offense.

He had big passing plays and running plays for us. Trevor made critical catches for us throughout the season,” Ergenbright said.

Seven of the Newton players receiving District 4 honorable mention honors were on the defensive side of the football. Six of those players will return next season for the Cardinals.

Cubs’ Bryant, Lester, Hendricks, Maddon up for major awards

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard, right, talks to his offensive unit during a game against Iowa State earlier this season at Kinnick Stadium. The Hawks are 20-point underdogs against Michigan on Saturday night.

Hawkeyes return to middling ways after historic 2015 IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s recent stumbles have left the program playing for bowl eligibility instead of a championship.

It’s been like that nearly every season since 2010 for the Hawkeyes, which has left open the possibility that last year’s 12-2 record was more of an anomaly than the start of an upswing.

A loss to No. 3 Michigan (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) on Saturday would leave Iowa (5-4, 3-3) with at least five losses for the sixth time in seven years.

Although the Hawkeyes still technically can win the West, the much more likely post-season scenario involves a forgettable bowl to cap a disappointing season.

Iowa hosts the Wolverines as a 20-point underdog, its largest such line in recent memory.

“Historically it’s a real fine line for us. We really have to be doing everything right. We have to be relatively healthy, and you have to make your own breaks,” coach Kirk Ferentz said. “All you can do as a coach is ask them to do their best. I think the guys are doing that.”

On offense, Iowa has reached a point where some struggles seem inevitable.

The loss of wide receiver Matt VandeBerg and the limited role

that injured tight end George Kittle can provide in the passing game has robbed the Hawkeyes of the ability to threaten opposing defenses through the air.

But perhaps the most perplexing thing about Iowa’s inconsistency is that many of its same defensive starters played crucial roles in 2015.

Corner back Desmond King, defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson and Josey Jewell returned to anchor a unit that fell apart against a decent offense for the second time this season last week.

The Hawkeyes, who let up 38 points in a loss to Northwestern, allowed a staggering 599 yards of offense in last week’s 41-14 blowout loss at Penn State.

According to defensive end Parker Hesse, the unit’s performance against the Nittany Lions could be attributed to a lack of detail.

It wasn’t one glaring deficiency that bogged down the Hawkeyes, but rather a series of small mistakes that added up to a big loss in a key moment in the season.

That’s a troubling sign for a program that prides itself on doing the little things well.

“That’s kind of the way it’s been in our losses this year, and that’s something we have to work on,” Hesse said. “It’s different things. But it’s more a

mindset of always being on top of our stuff at all times.”

Despite the fact that an underwhelming season appears likely to be Iowa’s fate, the program isn’t in quite the precarious situation it was in prior to last season.

The Hawkeyes gleaming new facility has already paid off, with Iowa in line for its best recruiting class in years come February.

The contract extension that coach Kirk Ferentz signed earlier this season should also help the Hawkeyes bring in more talented players lured by the stability of the coaching staff.

But Iowa still has three games and possibly a bowl bid to play for in 2016.

Those matchups represent a chance for the Hawkeyes to regain their momentum heading into the offseason — but that can only happen if they get back to trusting each other as much as they did a year ago.

“Everybody just has to do a better job of focusing on their job, making sure they’re not trying to compensate for anybody else,” running back LeShun Daniels Jr. said. “It’s more of a trust factor, getting back to believing in each other, that we can do it if we put our minds to it.”

Kansas or Iowa State will finally win a Big 12 game in 2016

By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press Kansas or Iowa State will finally win a Big 12 game this week, and that might be the only conference victory for the Jayhawks or Cyclones.

Their coaches are rebuilding teams traditionally at the bottom of the Big 12, and both plan to approach Saturday’s matchup in Lawrence, Kansas, like they do every other game.

“Our biggest thing is we’ve tried to win every football game, and the realistic piece of this is it’s the next step for us,” first-year Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said Monday.

The Cyclones and Jayhawks are each 1-8 (0-6 Big 12) with lengthy losing streaks.

“There are some similarities.

It’s one of those deals where I think each coach has his own style,” Kansas coach David Beaty said on the weekly Big 12 coaches teleconference. “But really I think the big thing as you watch them, very much like us, if you focus on your team and really try to correct your execution and mistakes, I think that’s where a lot of the progress is going to be made.”

The Jayhawks have lost 18 consecutive Big 12 games since a home win over Iowa State

Campbell

Beaty

in 2014, their only conference victory that season. They have lost eight games in a row overall after a season-opening 55-6 win over Rhode Island that is Beaty’s only win in 21 games as Kansas’ coach.

Iowa State is coming off its fifth straight loss, 34-24 at home to Big 12-leading Oklahoma, after which the ninth-ranked Sooners’ coach Bob Stoops had some complimentary remarks about Campbell.

“We’re certainly starting and working really hard to build our program the right way from the ground up,” Campbell said.

“That’s something that we’re continuing to be in the process of doing here.”

Both teams have been close to upsets this season.

Four of Iowa State’s conference losses are by 10 points or fewer. The Cyclones never trailed at home against then-No.

13 Baylor until the Bears kicked a game-ending field goal to win 45-42.

Kansas led by nine points in the fourth quarter against TCU, but the Jayhawks missed three field goals in the fourth quarter.

The last miss came in the closing seconds after the Horned Frogs kicked one to go ahead 24-23.

Since beating Iowa State in their Big 12 opener in 2009, the Jayhawks are 3-63 in conference games.

Some other notes from the Big 12 call: — While Texas has won consecutive games and the players “feel very good,” coach Charlie Strong said they know they haven’t played their best football and are looking to improve. The Longhorns host 11th-ranked West Virginia on Saturday and need only one more win to get bowl eligible. “We haven’t even talked about a bowl,” Strong said. “We’re just looking to end the year the right way.”

— Stoops said it seems to have gone unnoticed that the Sooners played their Thursday night game at Iowa State without 14 players that were on the twodeep roster earlier in the season.

But Stoops said the weekend off after the midweek game should really help the team.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fresh off leading the Chicago Cubs to their first World Series title in more than a century, slugger Kris Bryant and several teammates could soon be hoisting more hardware.

Bryant is among the top three vote-getters for the NL MVP award, with Cubs manager Joe Maddon and pitchers Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks in contention for other honors.

T h e Baseball Writers’ Association of America announced the finalists Monday. Voting was completed before the postseason, and award winners will be announced next week on MLB Network.

A season after he was the NL Rookie of the Year, Bryant hit 39 home runs with 102 RBIs while batting .292. The third baseman also scored a league-high 121 runs.

Washington second baseman Daniel Murphy, who batted .347 for the NL East champions, and Dodgers rookie shortstop Corey Seager also are up for NL MVP. AL batting champion Jose Altuve of Houston, 2014 winner Mike Trout

of the Angels and Boston outfielder Mookie Betts are the AL finalists. The MVPs will be announced Nov. 17.

The AL Cy Young Award is between Cleveland ace Corey Kluber, Boston’s Rick Porcello and Detroit’s Justin Verlander. In the NL, it’s Lester, Hendricks or Washington’s Max Scherzer on Nov. 16.

Detroit’s Michael Fulmer, the Ya n k e e s ’ Gary Sanchez and Cleveland’s Tyler Naquin are finalists for AL Rookie of the Year. Seager, Dodgers teammate Kenta Maeda and Washington’s Trea Turner are the NL contenders, with the top rookies announced next Monday.

Maddon, Washington’s Dusty Baker and Dave Roberts of the Dodgers are up for NL Manager of the Year. Cleveland’s Terry Francona, who guided his team into the World Series, Texas’ Jeff Banister and Baltimore’s Buck Showalter are the AL candidates. Those honors will be awarded Nov. 15.

The Cubs led the majors with 103 wins during the regular season.

Cubs’ Epstein voted TSN’s MLB executive of the year SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Theo Epstein is rising to a new reality.

“For the last few years I’ve had a semi-recurring dream, maybe five or six times, where I’ve woken up, wow, we just won the World Series with the Cubs. That’s unbelievable,” he recalled Monday night.

Days after the team he designed ended a long championship drought, Epstein was voted The Sporting News Major League Baseball Executive of the Year for revitalizing the Chicago Cubs.

Balloting by 56 big league executives took place before the postseason.

Epstein was presented with the award at the start of the annual general managers meeting.

He received 13 votes, followed by Cleveland’s Chris Antonetti (nine), the New York Yankees’ Brian Cashman (eight), Texas’ Jon Daniels (seven), Cleveland’s Mike Chernoff and Washington’s Mike Rizzo (three each), and Baltimore’s Dan Duquette and the Cubs’ Jed Hoyer (two apiece).

Astrograph

The Mars transit calls for a wholehearted commitment. Do it because the people involved matter to you. Do it for your family. Note that this might seem a little counterintuitive because the task requires you to spend time away from loved ones. That’s OK. Counterintuitive plans often work out brilliantly, according to the deeper intuition of the Pisces moon.

student in March. An investment will pay off handsomely in May. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 30, 15, 4 and 34.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 9). You know who needs you, and you know why. Being there for others brings you a profound sense of satisfaction, never mind the fact that efforts and energy will boomerang back in triplicate. You’ll be a mentor in January and a

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Many wonderful ideas started out as dreams. You’re familiar with this phenomenon; you’ve experienced it yourself, and you will again meet a prophecy, solution or generally actionable idea in dreamland.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

They are acting as though the situation calls for restraint. Not really. It’s just that no one is taking initiative. Get in there and make things memorable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You can’t stand the idea of “phoning it in.” If you don’t feel fully committed to the performance, you’ll take it as a sign you need to reach deeper and try harder. You expect the same efforts from others.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Before you go into battle, ask yourself if it’s necessary or if you’ve merely gotten so used to struggling that you’ve made it your default. Stop fighting for your freedom and start behaving as a person who is already free.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes your high expectations stop you from fully enjoying what is. Not today! As long as you remain open-minded, your projection of what might occur

will only serve to make things more magical.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

This started last night. The ideas you went to sleep with threw a caucus in your head, and their decisions will make you a different person today than you were yesterday, as evidenced by an unusual choice you make.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know what it’s like to be your own worst enemy. There was a time when, inexplicably, you acted against your best interests, but now you seek victory over that part of yourself and your better angels will win out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Boredom isn’t just for spoiled kids and over-privileged inhabitants of First World countries.

It’s actually a genuinely soulsucking danger that you should take rather seriously and preemptively defend against.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). As for the ones who act as though the rest of the world was born to serve them -- no one benefits from this dynamic. Be bold. Burst that bubble. Draw the boundaries, and restore the balance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Those who were born into unconventional home situations often long for what they believe is normalcy, while the so-called “normals” seek a life that defies tradition. Whichever category you’re in, you’ll stretch into the other.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Your relationship with time will be a focus. There’s this pull to do something different with your minutes, as you’d prefer them to feel like they are flowing one to the next instead of merely separating events.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The one you love will love you back, though perhaps not in the manner you would prefer. This is partly about selfishness and partly about misinformation.

Don’t hint. Just tell the other person what to do.
