The light beyond the storm

By Ty Rushing Newton Daily News

After being found guilty of murdering his former high school footbal l c o a c h , M a r k B e c k e r has had a n u m b e r of labels p l a c e d u p o n h i m by the p u b l i c . However, those closest to him want to make an-other label is just as rel-evant — misunderstood.

Becker suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, a disorder that enables sufferers to function normally intellectually, but plagues them with delusions, audible hallu-cinations and augments their personality.

“People need to un-derstand that an indi-vidual with paranoid schizophrenia is not typ-

ically a danger to anyone else. This is a miscon-ception. However, there is a very small percent-age of individuals with this, and other mental health, diagnoses that are a danger — mostly to themselves,” said Joan Becker, Mark’s mother.

“It is imperative that the professionals work-ing with these individu-als do not ignore the danger signs in place and act appropriately — even if that means containment of that in-dividual for an extended length of time to get them on proper medica-tions and stabilized.”

An unstable Becker fatally wounded Apling-ton-Parkersburg coach Ed Thomas on June 24, 2009. He was not well and hadn’t been himself for quite some time ac-cording to the family. This story was covered by a number of national media outlets, and with the added attention, the family knew something had to be done.

Branstad makes campaign stop in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Gov. Terry Branstad, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds along with several fellow Republican can-didates made a stop Wednesday at Moo’s BBQ in Newton.

Branstad, who is running for his sixth term as Iowa Gover-nor, spoke to the crowd about what he has done for Iowa af-ter resuming the position and

where he hopes to go in the fu-ture.

“We in Iowa have a real op-portunity to have an impact, not just in our state, but at the national level as well. The eyes of the country are on Iowa, the senate race may well determine which party controls the Unit-ed State Senate and I think we have a tremendous opportuni-ty,” Branstad said.

Crystal Bruntz, candidate

for State Senate, kicked off the event followed by Reyn-olds who introduced Branstad. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, candidate for Congress, rallied up the crowd and gave personal stories about where she came from and her time in the service as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army.

Newton selected for Veteran-Civilian dialogue project

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Newton was selected as an upcoming site for a Veteran-Civilian Dia-logue project through Intersections Interna-tional based in New York.

The dialogue, which is tentatively sched-uled for the beginning of December will also include a service proj-ect for veterans and civilians to work on together and is being organized through the Newton Chamber of Commerce and along with local veterans or-ganizations.

The VCD is used to bridge the gap between veterans and civilians by helping service per-sonnel transition back to civilian life and by providing a place for ci-vilians to step forward in new and responsible engagement with veter-ans according to Inter-sections International. It also enables veterans and civilians to move from understanding through dialogue, to action with civic proj-ects in the community.

Launched in 2009, there have been more than 3,400 partici-pants in more than 50 dialogues in cities

throughout the country. Recently, Pella hosted a VCD, exceeding expec-tations in attendance as well as creating great conversation between veterans and civilians.

Dialogues typically last 90 minutes and are free to attend. It is led by facilitators from Intersections Interna-tional and has aspects of artistic expression during each event in-cluding drama, music and poetry. Different themes that serve as starting points include community wellness, stereotypes, mentorship

Iowa Speedway, INDYCAR announce 2015 Race Weekend

Newton Daily News

Fans anxious for the return of the Verizon IndyCar Series and open wheel standouts like Ed Carpenter, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Helio Castro-neves to central Iowa next summer can start making plans.

Iowa Speedway an-nounced Thursday the addition of the Ve-rizon IndyCar Series to its action-packed 2015 schedule, which includes the previ-ously released schedules for the NAS-CAR XFINITY Series (currently the NASCAR Nationwide Series), USAC Silver Crown Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races.

“The Fastest Short Track on the Planet” will host the Iowa Corn 300

– the 14th race of the INDYCAR season – July 18. Start times will be announced at a later date.

“The return of INDYCAR to Iowa Speedway in 2015 is exciting news for our race fans, sponsors, and the entire region,” said Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small. “INDYCAR races here are not only thrilling sports entertain-ment, but also a boon for the local economy. Our track provides some of the best racing you’ll see anywhere, making this a can’t-miss weekend.”

Andretti Autosport has won six of the eight races at Iowa Speedway, including the last five. Ryan Hunt-er- Reay stole what appeared to be a dominant race win from Tony Kanaan just two laps from the checkered flag in this year’s Iowa Corn 300. Kanaan led 247 of the race’s 300 laps, but couldn’t stave off Hunter-Reay after a late-race pit stop for tires catapult-ed the 2012 Verizon IndyCar Series champion to another win at Iowa Speedway.

Finding time to exercise is no small feat for many men and women. Obligations at home and at the of-fice can make it hard to fit in a work-out, a familiar quandary for men and women with multiple commitments.

Though it’s not always easy to fit in a workout when juggling multiple responsibilities, men and women must consider the responsibility they have with regard to maintaining their physical and mental health.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services ad-vises that healthy adults get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, and that such activity should be spread out over the course of the week. Such a workout schedule can improve both physical and mental health, mak-ing it easier for men and women to handle their hectic schedules.

The following are a few ways such men and women can find time for fitness.

Prepare meals ahead of timeIf working out in the morning

simply won’t work out for you, then consider planning meals in advance

so you can free up time between the office and dinner each night.

Exercise in the morningResearch has shown men and

women who exercise in the morn-ings exercise on a more consistent basis than those who exercise later in the day, including after leaving the office at the end of the workday.

When exercising in the early morning hours, men and women are less likely to encounter scheduling conflicts, as coworkers, colleagues and even the kids will likely still be asleep. That means fewer interrupt-ed or missed workouts.

Work while you workoutSmartphones and tablets have

made it easier than ever to get work done while you’re away from work. This includes getting some work done while you’re getting in your weekly recommended aerobic activ-ity on the treadmill, elliptical ma-chine or exercise bike. Thanks to smartphones and tablets, you can now read and answer emails and work on some projects while you sweat away those extra pounds.

Get off the couchMany men and women prefer to

unwind on the couch as they catch up on their favorite television shows and movies. But such unwinding should not come at the expense of working out. Much like catching up on work at the gym, you also can catch up on your favorite shows and movies while at the gym.

Readers who can comfortably read while exercising can follow a similar route and read on the ellipti-cal instead of sitting sedentary in a chair as they make their way through the latest bestseller.

Take a walking lunchMany professionals have heard

of a “working lunch,” but those strapped for time to exercise might want to take a walking lunch instead. Rather than sitting at your desk or in your favorite booth at a nearby restaurant on your lunch hour each day, consider squeezing in some time to walk during those 30-60 minutes you normally spend eating or catch-ing up on office gossip with cowork-ers.

Finding time to exercise can be difficult, but even the busiest men and women have several options at their disposal as they attempt to make fitness a bigger priority in their lives.

From fruit to fudge, keep food storage safe

First comes shopping, then comes putting food away — but where? You may be surprised to learn the best places to store your groceries.

BreadBread can stale quick-

ly in the fridge due to the dry circulating air. If you’re afraid your bread will go moldy because your kitchen is humid, or because you won’t be eat-

ing it quickly, it’s better to keep it well-wrapped in the freezer. You can remove only what you need and thaw it on the counter or in the toaster on the “defrost” set-ting. Try to eat within 3 months for the best taste and texture.

PotatoesPotatoes’ starch turns

to sugar when refriger-ated — and refrigerating potatoes can also cause them to sprout faster, so store them in a cool, dry

place like your pantry. Check often and remove potatoes that start to go bad.

FruitsFruits with pits, like

peaches and plums, should be placed in a closed paper bag until ripe — then refriger-ated.

Keep in mind that once you cut into any fruit or vegetable, it needs to be refrigerated to slow the growth of harmful bacteria.

BananasStore green bananas

on the counter but refrig-erate them once they be-come ripe to slow down the ripening process.The peel will continue to turn brown but the fruit will stay firm and fresh for another week — even if the peel becomes black.

TomatoesTomatoes fare bet-

ter when kept out of the fridge, so keep your to-matoes on the counter if they’ll be eaten within

2-3 days. If you don’t plan to eat them within that time, they go in the fridge to prevent spoil-ing.

Peanut ButterPeanut butter be-

comes difficult to spread when it’s cold, so store it in your pantry if you will use it within 2 to 3 months. Store peanut butter in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 months. How-ever, if you buy natural peanut butter, check the label; some brands rec-ommend refrigeration

to keep the natural oils from separating.

HoneyHoney is very shelf-

stable. It is best stored at room temperature. If you chill honey it becomes hard to pour, so keep it in your pantry. Honey will keep indefinitely when stored in a sealed container.

Check the label on other foods too, if you are in doubt about where to store them.

a very private, albeit lonely, existence; or you make a choice to turn that tragedy into something positive,” Joan Becker said. “We knew there was so much more to the tragedy … in fact that was a tragedy that culminated from multiple other tragedies — the bro-ken mental health system that failed our son.

“Through much prayer my husband and I decided we could not sit back and allow this to happen to an-other family. This is why we share our family and son’s experience with oth-ers — in hopes it can pre-vent another family from enduring such pain.”

Turning tragedy into triumph has become a full-time gig for Joan Becker. In the years since the shooting, she’s not only become a spokesper-son for mental illnesses causes, but also been advo-cating for change in Iowa’s mental health system as well.

“Individuals do not choose to have a mental illness. Oftentimes they

are misunderstood be-cause they may have at-tempted to self medicate with improper drug use to escape the symptoms of their illness. Then it be-comes a blurry process for professionals to dig deeper to get to the source of the illness and not just look at the surface of things,” Joan Becker said.

In 2013, the Iowa State Legislature passed a law requiring all coun-ties in the state to come together and form mental health services regions to help with the disparity of services. Service regions didn’t become fully active until last summer.

“I’m not opposed to mental health regions in the state of Iowa. As I’ve stated to the (Iowa De-partment of Health and Human Services) and to legislators in Iowa, one of my biggest concerns is the accountability for the personnel working within these regions to verify that services are being deliv-ered to the citizens that need them,” Joan Becker said.

“We actually lived within a multiple county service area when we at-

tempted to get services for our son. The lack of com-munication and account-ability by the individuals involved in the ‘system’ dropped my son through major cracks in the system. So, unless these gaps are identified and fixed then the creation of mental health service regions will not accomplish a single thing.”

Her campaign for change and awareness of mental health issues will bring Joan Becker to New-ton, where she will give a presentation titled, “Find-ing the Light Beyond the Storm: A Mother’s Story of their Family’s Walk with Mental Illness.”

The presentation be-gins at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 5, at Congregational Unit-ed Church of Christ, 308 E. Second St. N.

“The presentation at Newton will introduce who our family and Mark really are. Based on my journal notes I kept over several years, I will walk through our whole expe-rience with the mental health system and it will be quite obvious where the gaps existed in our son’s case,” she said.

“Finally, I will present to them the importance faith has played in our family’s life, both past and present, and how that is really the only way we are able to cope and survive such a tragedy.”

Having lived through one of the worse case sce-narios one can imagine, Joan Becker wants others to know having a mental illness or having a loved one who suffers from one is not the end of the world.

“The encouragement I try to offer to individu-als and families working through mental illness is to not alienate themselves from those organizations and individuals that can offer them support for this unique illness,” Joan Becker said.

“Removing the stigma of mental illness needs to start with the individuals enduring such an illness and their families them-selves. If we can’t get past this stigma how do we expect others who are not experiencing a brain illness to get past the stigma.”

Scott Dixon set the Iowa Speedway two-lap qualify-ing track record during qualifications for this year’s race. Dixon’s two-lap average of 186.256 mph shattered the previous speed record of 180.375 mph held by Takuma Sato since 2011. Castroneves set the one-lap track re-cord (186.809 mph) on his second qualifying lap, break-ing his previous track record (185.687 mph) on the 7/8-mile oval, further solidifying Iowa Speedway as “The Fastest Short Track on the Planet.”

“Announcing our INDYCAR weekend in October allows our fans, local businesses and the City of Newton to plan ahead, and will better facilitate future planning for those who want to participate in the event,” said Small. “We have established a strong INDYCAR tra-dition in Iowa.

Submitted PhotoRockin’ Johnny, Johnny Burgin, of The Rockin’ Johnny Band, is back for a special Sunday performance at the Speak-easy in Newton.

Rockin’ Johnny to perform SundayBy Jamee A. Pierson

Newton Daily News

Back by popular de-mand, Rockin’ Johnny, Johnny Burgin, is set to perform from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the Speakeasy in Newton. This is the second trip to Newton for Burgin, who stopped to perform the first time on his way home to Chicago from Omaha.

“When you have good fans and people that re-ally love it and it is a good place, you have to go back there,” Burgin said. “I got some good fans from the South Skunk Blues Soci-ety.”

Joining him on stage

Sunday is Newton native Joe Rebik on drums and Des Moines bassist Er-ich Guakel from the band The Soul Searchers.

Originally from South Carolina, Burgin, guitar-ist in the band, moved to Chicago to attend the University of Chicago and earned the name “Rockin’ Johnny” while working as a DJ at a local college radio station. He began playing clubs on Chicago’s West Side with blues singer Tail Dragger before tour-ing nationally with former Howlin’ Wolf drummer Sam Lay and blues piano player Pinetop Perkins.

After those experienc-es, Burgin decided to put

his own band together. The groups first big gig was a Monday night resi-dency at The Smoke Dad-dy in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. The energetic, original ap-proach the band took to blue music brought in a younger crowd that typi-cally did not go to blues clubs.

After only hearing one performance, Delmark Records, a prestigious Chicago blues label, of-fered the group a contract. Following the release of its first album, the band toured Europe, played fes-tivals and headlined clubs through out the Midwest.

Known for its wide

repertoire, The Rockin’ Johnny Band performs Stax style soul, swing as well as numerous originals and has a stage presence filled with spontaneity, fun while still showcasing great guitar playing.

Currently booked al-most every weekend, Burgin is making a spe-cial stop on a Sunday to play in Newton before heading on a 30-day tour through Los Angles, Ja-pan and the Bay Area. For more tour dates, check www.rockinjohn-nyband.com.

Critchfield is resourceful, respectedDan GraberNorwalk

Marshall Critchfield and I have worked together at Wells Fargo for nearly five years. During that time we have had to master roughly 15 computer programs – from 1970s origina-tion software to cutting-edge, web-based servicing applica-tions. The protocol around here changes almost monthly with the constantly-evolving regula-tory requirements and market adaptations.

We call Critchfield – The Professor. He is always on the forefront of the internal and external forces changing our business. Not only is he a quick study – he is the type of person who stays late to help others get acquainted with unfamil-iar processes. In many cases, he knows more than senior managers when it comes to the numerous regulations affect-ing our industry. No one in our group has a better grasp of the financial reform legislation that has been rolling out for the past four years.

Ongoing training is a huge part of life in a large company. Marshall leads by example in these sessions – often teach-ing the trainers a few things in the process. He is also the go-to guy for life outside of Wells Fargo. We sometimes have fun/trivia meetings and having Critchfield on your team practi-cally guarantees a win. He even knows the history of the com-pany.

His ability to learn and un-derstand complex computer systems and federal legislation with such ease should be known to all voters in Jasper County. Marshall is one of the most resourceful individuals in our building (of more than 2,000 workers). He has a sterling reputation with senior leaders and is highly respected among his peers. Any concerns over his ability to learn the job of county recorder should be put to rest. This is the type of individual who learns the current protocol practically overnight — and in record time offers innovative suggestions for improvement. Plus he can play rhythm guitar with the best of them!

Critchfield is a proven leader

Jack MaplesNewton

It has been a very long time since I have known a leader like Marshall Critchfield. Over the past year I have witnessed a 180-degree transformation of our local Republican Party. Under Critchfield’s leadership we have seen both our numbers and donations increase.

About a year ago Marshall proposed the idea of having a trap-shoot fundraiser out at the Jasper County Gun Club. Some of the members thought it was the most bizarre idea they had ever heard. Six months later the tents went up, the clay pigeons went flying, and the local party has raised the most money at a single event in more than 20 years. Marshall envisioned the concept, drafted a plan and worked hard to ensure the event was a smashing success. The governor even showed up and shot targets with Critchfield and others.

Our meetings have also been completely transformed. Critchfield came up with the idea to block off the street in front or our headquarters and hold street parties. I have never seen turnout like we had this summer at our rallies. I also

credit Critchfield for uniting the local party. His ability to connect with all types of people and get folks to come together for a common goal is remark-able. I was always going to vote for him for county recorder, but I think the rest of your readers need to understand that he is truly a stand-up individual and his leadership abilities are sec-ond to none.

Anyone can claim leadership experience. I am writing to let you know that I have witnessed it. I have heard others praising his talent as well. I am 100 per-cent confident in Critchfield’s ability to assess the current situation in the recorder’s of-fice, offer a better way to con-duct business and lead the way toward a better approach to county government.

Don’t confuse time and ex-perience. I urge you to join me in voting for Marshall Critch-field on Nov. 4 because of his intellect, capability, passion, vi-sion and his proven leadership ability.

Kelley’s vote to stand alone was wrongDennis CombsNewton

Compassion. That is what stirred a bipartisan coalition in the Iowa House to vote 75-20 to pass SF2360 — the bill that prohibits the arrest of parents of children with severe epilepsy for possessing a drug proven effective in treating the violent seizures suffered by their chil-dren. In fact, only one single elected Democrat in the entire Iowa Legislature voted against this bill — Newton’s own Dan Kelley.

I didn’t know about his shocking lack of compas-sion until Kelley himself, at the League of Women Vot-ers forum in Newton, boasted about his no vote. I was mor-tified as he asserted that he was especially proud to be the only Democrat willing to take this stand against his party’s leadership. Proud to say no to the mothers of epileptic chil-dren. Mothers who had spent months at the Capital begging for help to improve their chil-dren’s lives. Retiring Senator Dennis Black, retired Highway Patrolman Clel Baudler and even Joni Ernst found the com-passion to vote yes.

I ask my fellow citizens of Jasper County to join me in not voting for Kelley on Nov. 4. I have never written a let-ter in support of any candidate and I will not start today. But I will share even more Kelley “no” votes that demonstrate an alarming lack of compassion. FYI: Senator Black voted “yes” on every bill listed below. My source: www.IowaVotes.org.

SF447 — provided fund-ing for programs to prevent violence against women, victim assistance grants and funded the salaries, support and main-tenance for the Newton Cor-rectional Facility. Stun-ningly, he voted against his own neighbors’ paychecks. Kelly lost 94-3.

HF638 — provided $2,000,000 for “major main-tenance projects at National Guard armories and facilities.” Kelley lost this one 91-2.

HF527 — requires con-victed drug dealers, etc. to sub-mit DNA samples. His fight to protect convicted criminals

lost, 84-15.HF604 — this bill provides

the annual funding for the Departments of: Education, Workforce Development, Eco-nomic Development, Board of Regents and College Student Aid. Fortunately his losses con-tinued, 87-10.

I cannot hide from the fact that I have supported Kelley in the past; for that I apologize. Like most of you, I had never researched his voting record. Turns out Kelley has stood on the losing side as he voted against almost everything I hold dear: Education, Work-force Development, National Guard Soldiers, college stu-dents and mothers begging for his help. Here’s hoping he’s on the losing side one last time.

Heartsill key leader on House Judiciary CommitteeRep. Chip BaltimoreOskaloosa

For the past two years, it has been an honor to serve with Rep. Greg Heartsill in the Iowa House of Representatives. During that time, Rep. Heart-sill has played an invaluable leadership role on the House Judiciary Committee, especially with regard to issues concern-ing public safety and protection of our most vulnerable Iowans from dangerous criminals.

As chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, it is my responsibility to select a member of the committee to manage key pieces of legisla-tion. Throughout the past two sessions, I have chosen Rep. Heartsill to manage the most challenging and crucial bills pertaining to some of the most dangerously violent criminals in our midst – human traf-fickers and sexual predators. When it comes to protecting the public, particularly women and children, Rep. Heartsill has been a consistent and val-iant champion. He passionately researches and investigates the issues, listens to all interested parties and advocacy groups, and then works diligently with our counterparts in the Senate to ensure passage of the bills. And even when Rep. Heartsill must compromise on some of the details of the legislation, he never forgets those who will be protected by the legislation and keeps in place the key features. In a very short period of time, Rep. Heartsill has proven him-self to be a thoughtful and ef-fective policy maker.

I urge you to please support Rep. Heartsill and vote for him on Nov. 4. At a time when sex-ual predators roam the Internet and prey upon our children and young people, Iowa needs Greg Heartsill as your state represen-tative.

Loebsack a dedicated public servantStephanie McCumberNewton

Our Congressman Dave Loebsack has only represented Jasper County for the past two years but in that time he has really gotten to know our com-munity. Just in the past year he’s delivered meals to Newton seniors, visited our schools, and toured many local businesses.

Dave deserves our support because he is the opposite of

an absent congressman—he is a dedicated public servant and a constant presence not just in Newton but every community in Iowa’s second district.

Vote for Chaz AllenJeff EisbrenerNewton

In the 14 years that I have known Chaz I have been able to spend some time discuss-ing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with him. Unlike how some negative ads are try-ing to portray him, he is not a follower and will not be a rub-ber stamp for his party. He is not a believer in big govern-ment but in effective govern-ment with solutions that assist growth while not limiting in-dividual freedom. His time as mayor of Newton is proof of this.

There have been many fac-tory towns around the U.S. that have had large plants close. But not many were fortunate to have a leader that focused on the next chapter of history in-stead of dwelling on what was lost. Of course people left town, the city had to make cuts in staff, and tough decisions were made. But now the school and population are growing. And all along the town maintained an extensive park system, their streets and a full time fire de-partment and effective police force.

When I moved here 14 years ago, Newton was all about Maytag. Now we are more di-versified and the options for growth are many. Much of that is because of the leadership that Chaz brought when he moved here. One negative ad that I saw tries to make Chaz appear to be an Obama disciple be-cause the most powerful man in the world identified him in public. How many other may-ors in Iowa does the president know? It does not mean that Chaz is an advocate. The presi-dent also acknowledges and recognizes John Boehner or Mitch McConnell. Chaz is a natural leader and other leaders realize that.

For the most part, I have voted for the Republican can-didate. I do try to give every candidate the opportunity to show me why they deserve my vote. And many times I have been forced to decide on the better of some meager candi-dates. We are privileged to have Chaz on the ballot. His experi-ence and his independence will make him a great state senator.

Please join me in voting for Chaz Allen for State Sen-ate. Even if you plan on voting for Republicans in every other race, Chaz is the best option for State Senate, not only that we have, but that we could have hoped for.

Differs with Kelley on the issues

Doug Cook Newton

Dan Kelley, I’ve decided to support Patrick Payton for State Representative. I feel ob-ligated to tell you openly for a few reasons. You’ve asked for my support with the hand written notes and mailings, we spoke briefly in person not too long ago, and when I wished you happy birthday on Face-book, your response included a request for my vote. I don’t feel right voting against you and al-

lowing you to think otherwise.Why? You are always polite

and courteous. Nothing to do with that. How you vote on the issues is where we differ. When you voted against sportsmen on the dove hunting season, but consistently vote in favor of less restrictions on abortion. This confuses me. As if a dove is worth closely protecting, but an unborn child isn’t? I know many people have varying views, I myself struggle with the rationale behind that.

I also emailed you on two firearms rights issues, urg-ing you to support them. The silencer bill, and the amend-ment to prohibit gun registra-tion. The response you gave was roughly “I support 2nd amendment rights, Dan Kel-ley.” Which to me wasn’t a di-rect answer, but insinuated you agreed with my position. Then you voted against them.

I don’t expect you to agree with all of your constituents all of the time, but I do think you should be very clear about where you really do stand when you are asked with a little more substance in your replies to emails.

Bottom line, Payton seems to share my stance on more is-sues and I more closely identify with him.

I’ve known you more years than not, and I do think you’re a heck of a nice guy. I also think most will agree that election time and politics are annoying. That said, I care about the fu-ture my children have to live in, so I have to pay attention and use my vote and voice to make it what I think it should be.

Kelley supportive of drug control policy

Sgt. A.W. Farmer and Capt. Mike McKelveyIowa Peace Officers Association

There has been much dis-cussion in recent years sur-rounding the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana, either for medical or recreational purposes. Nationally, 23 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws permitting the use of medical marijuana. Other states, such as Colora-do and Washington, go even further by permitting mari-juana use recreationally. In Iowa, the legislature approved a very limited bill that would allow for the use of a marijua-na derivative for Iowans with severe forms of epilepsy.

Marijuana today is much more potent than 20 and 30 years ago and is addictive. Nearly 4.5 million American meet the clinical criteria for marijuana abuse and depen-dence. In Iowa, the percentage of persons entering substance abuse treatment primarily due to marijuana is at its highest point in 20 years - over 26 percent. Most importantly, marijuana is illegal under fed-eral law. Creating a patchwork of state laws that attempt to “legalize” a drug that is pro-hibited under federal law cre-ates confusion and jeopardizes the safety of all Iowans.

Recognizing the danger of legalization, State Rep. Dan Kelley has consistently op-posed efforts to increase ac-cess to marijuana. He under-stands the harmful effects of drug use and has raised con-cerns about the mixed mes-sages that marijuana legal-ization would send to Iowa children. Rep. Kelley has also supported continued funding for the Office of Drug Con-trol Policy to help combat not only marijuana abuse, but also the increasing use of meth-amphetamine and heroin in Iowa.

Members from the Kellogg club will visit the Baxter Garden Club in ear-ly November and demonstrate flower arrangements. People will soon be able to identify the Kel-logg Garden Club members who will be wearing special sweat-shirts. On Nov. 25, the group will meet to plan programs for 2015 and decorate the Kellogg Museum kitchen for the Down Home Christmas celebration.

DARThe regular meeting of the

Grinnell DAR Chapter was Oct. 11 at the Centre for Arts and Artists with 23 members present. Regent Kristin Macy and chaplain Mary Rethmeier led the opening ritual. Vice re-gent Melinda Hardin led in the Pledge of Allegiance and the American’s Creed.

The following reports were given: Registrar Darlene Leib reported 63 members, with two resignations and one transfer pending; Lelah Main reported she sent school supplies to the Indian School; Kathy Jones re-ported we have 15 submissions for the American History con-test.

In other business, the chap-ter approved the recognition of Fannie R. Buchanan, original-ly of Grinnell, as a Woman in American History.

After teaching music in Grin-nell until World War I, she worked in New York with the War Camp Community Ser-vice and in the rehabilitation program of the American Red Cross. After the war, she was employed with RCA Victor as a rural specialist, bringing clas-sical music to rural areas and school. In 1925, she once again settled in Iowa, and her posi-tion as the first Music Exten-sion Assistant with Iowa State College enabled her to travel to 4-H clubs and rural women’s groups, organizing women’s mu-sical events and teaching folk dance training. Two of her most famous 4-H songs are “Dream-ing” and “The Plough Song.” The group is planning a time to celebrate her life and will also submit her name to the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution to include in their records.

The chapter also decided to apply to be a Commemorative Partner for the 50th Anniversary Vietnam War Commemoration. The volunteer book was passed for recording volunteer hours. Labels, coupons and stamps were collected to benefit soldiers and veterans.

A memorial service was con-ducted by Chaplain Mary Reth-meier for Susan Johnson who passed away Aug. 30, 2014. Susan was an active member of the Grinnell Chapter of DAR for many years and participated

in many activities. She will be missed.

The program was given by Barbara Hug on the history of the Star Spangled Banner song and flag. Both the song and the flag originated with the War of 1812. Most of us know about Francis Scott Key writing the words to a poem/song he titled, “In Defence of Fort McHenry.” Later the name was changed to the “Star Spangled Banner.” Even though the song was sung on many occasions, it did not become our National Anthem until President Herbert Hoover signed the legislation in 1931.

Forget Betsy Ross, she never made a flag; but do remember Mary Pickersgill, a flag maker in Baltimore who made the large garrison flag eventually called The Star Spangled Banner. This flag was an awesome size of 30 feet x 42 feet.

This is the flag that was raised after the British took leave of Fort McHenry in 1814. The family donated the Star Span-gled Banner flag to the Smithso-nian Institute in 1901.

For more information on the conservation of the flag, go to http://amhistory.si.edu/stars-pangledbanner/

The next meeting will be Nov. 9 at the Drake Library in Grin-nell hosted by Ann Bell and Jeanette Budding. The program will be Historic Red Rock by Merna Rusk.

DEAR ABBY: My best friend is getting married. She left me a mes-sage asking me to be a bridesmaid. Of course I’m honored, but I don’t know what to do. I dislike her fiance. He is disrespectful and mean to her and to their son.

I can’t stand up with them and pre-tend to be happy for her when I think she’s making a terrible mistake. I want her to marry someone who will be nice to her. Help! — CONFLICTED IN MINNESOTA

DEAR CONFLICTED: If stand-ing up with her will make you feel like a hypocrite, then don’t do it. But recognize that if you don’t, it will dis-tance you from her. If your friend’s relationship is dysfunctional now, just wait until after she and her fiance are married, because it isn’t going to mag-ically get better. This young woman is going to need all the support she can get from her friends in the years ahead.

DEAR ABBY: Every year, my children choose to attend Thanksgiv-ing with their in-laws or friends rather than come to our home. Then they ask me to prepare a celebration the day af-ter or another day.

My husband and I feel left out. It’s plain that we are considered “second” and the kids come only because they feel guilty. Preparing a meal is expen-sive and time-consuming. We would like to celebrate on the actual holiday.

I think we should be treated with more respect. I also feel like telling these ingrates to stay home this year because we have decided to donate our time to a homeless shelter. Your thoughts? — LEFT OUT IN LEX-INGTON

DEAR LEFT OUT: I can see why your feelings are hurt. In fairness, I think your children should alternate with which in-laws they spend the holidays.

If you would prefer to make or serve Thanksgiving dinner at a shelter, you should do it. Many people volunteer their time during the holidays, and at other times during the year, and find it gratifying. However, when you inform your children about your plans, try to keep the anger out of the tone of your message.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 11 and my dad is a drug addict. I’m not allowed to have contact with him because of his past choices. People would look down on me if they knew — like my own teacher. She was being snoopy at the beginning of the year and asked me a bunch of questions about my family, and now I feel like she doesn’t treat me the same. — DISTURBED IN SPOKANE

DEAR DISTURBED: Your fa-ther’s “past choices” are not your fault, and you should not be blamed or judged for them. If you haven’t already told your mother that your teacher questioned you about your family at the beginning of the year, that you an-swered her honestly and now you feel you are being treated differently be-cause of it, you definitely should. And your mother should discuss this with the teacher because the questions she was asking may have been appropriate.

Iowa man faces murder charge in girlfriend’s death

SHENANDOAH — A south-west Iowa man has been charged with first-degree murder in the 2009 death of his girlfriend. The state Department of Pub-lic Safety says 34-year-old Brian Davis, of Shenandoah, was arrested Wednesday. He is being held at the Fremont County Jail on $1 million cash bond. Court records do not list an attorney. Officials say witness interviews and crime scene evidence led to Davis’ ar-rest in connection to the July 2009 death of Holly Durben.

Officials planning to connect eastern Iowa trails

IOWA CITY— Officials in two east-ern Iowa counties are considering trail ex-pansions that could one day be part of a trail stretching from the Waterloo area to Burling-ton. Johnson County officials want to expand six miles of eastern Iowa’s Hoover Trail by 2016. The project is expected to cost at least $3 million. Director Larry Gullett of the Johnson County Conservation Board said the group received $454,000 in grant money.

DES MOINES — Drake University says it is moving forward with a $65 million proj-ect that will include construction of two new buildings, renovation of four existing halls and the addition of new degree programs.Pending approval of final plans, construction could start on the buildings including a school of education center as early as next summer. Completion is expected in two years. The uni-versity, in an announcement Wednesday, says its board of trustees has approved plans to of-fer new bachelor degree programs.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Three men have been arrested on suspicion of robbing a li-quor store in Cedar Rapids.

Police say two men entered Big Discount Liquor on Tuesday night with guns and de-manded money. No injuries were reported and the men left with an undisclosed amount of cash. Authorities say they quickly located a suspect vehicle and a pursuit ensued. The car was found unoccupied a short time later, but officers found two people matching the description of the robbery suspects.

The council created the committee after several resi-dents objected to the ban at the meeting.

Authorities capture Iowa student amid lockdowns

The Associated Press

SIOUX CITY — A 16-year-old student suspected of bringing a gun to his school in northwest Iowa was taken into custody Wednesday following a search for him that included a helicopter.

The student was found walking on a rural road and was captured without in-cident, the Woodbury County Sheriff ’s Of-fice said. A resident following news of the search contacted au-thorities after spotting someone matching the teen’s description.

The student is ac-cused of bringing a handgun to Siouxland Community Christian School in Sioux City on Tuesday, according to sheriff ’s Maj. Todd Wieck. He also is ac-cused of making threats to students, though ad-ditional information was not available.

School officials contacted the sher-iff ’s office Wednesday morning, which led to the lockdown of Siouxland Communi-ty Christian and two other schools where the student had ties. Officials at the near-by Kingsley-Pierson Community School District also placed their facilities on pre-cautionary lockdown.

“From the point we found out about it this morning, to the time we finally located him ... it was a pretty quick resolu-tion to this consid-ering the amount of territory we had to cover,” Wieck said.

Wieck said the stu-dent was considered armed and dangerous because the handgun he allegedly brought to school was unac-counted for at the time of the search. It has since been recov-ered.

Hillary Clinton campaigns with Braley in Iowa

CEDAR RAPIDS — Hillary Rodham Clinton urged Iowa Democrats Wednes-day to get out the vote for Senate candidate Bruce Braley, stress-ing that “the choice could not be clearer” as the party seeks to hang onto a seat retiring Sen. Tom Harkin occupied for three decades.

In her second trip to Iowa since her third-place finish in the 2008 Democratic caucuses, the for-mer first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state appeared be-fore about 400 people at a union hall in Cedar Rapids. Her speech made no mention of her likely 2016 presidential ambitions, fo-cusing squarely on next Tuesday’s general election.

“It is truly six days of work for six years of service,” said Clinton, who also was scheduled to ap-pear in Davenport. “What kind of senator you’ll have to replace Tom Harkin. Those are really big shoes to fill.”

Braley, a four-term congress-man from Waterloo, is locked in a tight race against Repub-lican Joni Ernst, a state law-maker and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard. A new poll from Quinnipiac University released Wednesday shows Ernst with 49 percent of likely voters

and Braley with 45 percent. The survey of 817 likely voters has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.

Money has flooded the state as the Republicans targeted Iowa in their drive for the six-seat gain to take over the Senate. The com-bined spending by the candidates and outside groups during the general election tops $68 million, according to the Center for Re-sponsive Politics, making this the third most expensive race in the country.

Clinton stressed the differ-ences between Braley and Ernst on economic and social policies, noting that he backs an increase to the federal minimum wage and supports access to abortion. Both issues, she said, were important to female voters — a crucial vot-ing block for Democrats in this election.

“It’s not enough to be a wom-an, you have to be committed to expand rights and opportunities

for all women,” Clinton said.Clinton also attacked Ernst

for avoiding “tough questions.” Ernst earlier canceled a meet-ing with the Des Moines Reg-ister editorial board and has not scheduled meetings with other newspapers. Ernst, who has met with some editorial boards, said last week that her time was better spent campaigning than meeting with the Register.

Ernst, who spent the day on the campaign trail alongside Arizona Sen. John McCain, thinks the minimum wage should be set by states and op-poses abortion, though supports access to birth control. She said earlier in the day that Demo-cratic economic proposals are failing when it comes to job cre-ation and wage increases. Ernst also said she doesn’t think her socially conservative views are costing her voters.

McCain, who placed fourth in the 2008 Iowa caucuses, told a crowd of about 150 gath-ered at an American Legion in Coralville, that Ernst would be a welcome addition to the Sen-ate Armed Services Commit-tee. He said afterward that he was impressed by the size of the group.

“It looks like enthusiasm. I think if I’d had this kind of en-thusiasm in 2008, I would have carried the state,” McCain said.

Farm Rescue nonprofit helping 300th Midwest familyThe Associated Press

BISMARCK, N.D. — The Farm Rescue nonprofit in the Midwest is helping its 300th family this week.

The milestone comes just eight years after former North Dakota farm boy and UPS car-go pilot Bill Gross launched the organization to give back to the industry he still holds dear.

A handful of volunteers are helping harvest corn for western Minnesota farmer John Dub-bels, who is being treated for myelodysplastic syndrome, also known as pre-leukemia.

Dubbels, 60, farms about 1,500 acres near Fergus Falls with his wife, Sheree, and his brother, Paul. He said in a tele-phone interview from the Mayo Clinic that they were able to

harvest soybeans earlier this fall but that without help “it would have been a long struggle” to get the corn in the bin.

“I’d sure like to say thank you,” he said. “It’s quite a load off for me.”

Farm Rescue plants and har-vests crops for farmers in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Montana who have ex-perienced an illness, injury or

natural disaster. It’s been operat-ing since 2006, growing from a North Dakota operation with a shoestring budget and a few vol-unteers to a multistate nonprofit that’s supported by donations, grants, dozens of business spon-sors and about 1,000 volunteers from around the country. It now operates on an annual cash bud-get approaching half a million dollars.

“We are very thankful to all volunteers, sponsors and sup-porters for making it possible to achieve this major milestone,” Gross said.

Farm Rescue helps about 50 farmers each year. Gross said this past summer that he expects that number to hold steady for a couple of years while the orga-nization builds financial support so it can possibly expand.

US economy grew at 3.5 percent rate in Q3

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy grew at a solid annual rate of 3.5 percent in the July-September quar-ter, propelled by solid gains in business investment, export sales and the biggest jump in military spending in five years.

The third quarter result, which was slightly better than economists ex-pected, followed a 4.6 percent rebound in the second quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. The economy shrank at a 2.1 percent rate in the first three months of the year due to a harsh winter.

The report was the first of three es-timates of the gross domestic product, the economy’s total output of goods and services. Analysts believe the economy is maintaining momentum in the cur-rent quarter, with a big fall in gas prices expected to bolster consumer spending. After the roller-coaster first- and sec-ond-quarter gyrations, the economy is poised to achieve consistently stronger growth for the rest of this year and all of 2015.

“The economy does appear to be accelerating of late,” said Dan Green-haus, an analyst with investment firm BTIG. He added that the GDP report showed an economy “on a sounder footing today than at any time over the last few years.”

Many economists think full-year growth for 2015 will hit 3 percent, giv-ing the economy the best annual per-formance since 2005, two years before the Great Recession began.

For the third quarter, consumer spending grew at a solid 1.8 percent annual rate. That was slower than the 2.5 percent increase in the spring quarter, a gain that reflected pent-up demand as consumers made up for missed shopping days during the win-ter storms.

Consumer spending contributed 1.2 percentage points to growth in the third quarter. Another major contri-bution came from an 11 percent rise in export sales, far outpacing imports, which fell at a 1.7 rate. The smaller trade gap added 1.3 percentage points to growth in the third quarter.

The data comes amid concern that the export boom may soon fade due to weakness overseas. Europe is on the brink of its third recession in seven years, Japan is faltering, and China and Brazil are also struggling.

Stronger government spending added another 0.8 percentage point to growth, with federal spending grow-ing at a 10 percent rate. It was the first positive contribution in more than two years. Federal activity had been constrained by spending cuts and last year’s partial government shutdown.

Christie helping friends in final midterm stretch

By Jill ColvinThe Associated Press

DES MOINES — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is returning to Iowa yet again to cam-paign for a gover-nor who d o e s n ’ t need his help, one in a string of meet-ings with Republi-can can-d i d a t e s who would be valuable allies should he run for president.

As he reaches the homestretch before the midterm elections in his role as chairman of the Republican Governors Association, Christie’s dance card is full: He’s packed his schedule with stops for a long list of competitive candidates along with some who don’t need his help but could prove helpful in the lead-up to 2016.

Christie is set to attend a get-out-the-vote rally Thursday for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, a state institution who has a double-digit lead over his Democratic rival in recent polls. It will be Christie’s fourth vis-

it Iowa in recent months — his second of the week — and will give him yet another chance to mingle with the activists and fundraisers in the state that’s the first to vote in caucus and primary sea-son.

“I know some people may have some other ul-terior motives in addition to helping me,” Branstad said in an interview, “but I do appreciate every-thing they’ve done. And Gov. Christie, in particu-lar, as chairman of the Republican governors, has done a great amount for not only me but for Republican governors and governor candidates around the country.”

Christie’s travel sched-ule in the last week of the midterm elections offers clues to whom — and in which key electoral states — his friends might be should he come looking for some as a presidential candidate in 2016. It runs through some key states in any presidential elec-tion, such as Florida and Colorado.

But Christie kicked off his final 10-day push last Saturday with stops that seemed to have lit-tle to do with the stakes in Tuesday’s midterms. He began the day in Nebraska, attending a

tailgate fundraiser and college football game with GOP guberna-torial nominee Pete Ricketts, the son of a billionaire who, like Branstad, is running far ahead of his rival.

Then Christie re-turned to Iowa to visit an old friend, Rep. Steve King, who also holds a double-digit lead, before headlin-ing Branstad’s birth-day bash. Christie and King, who is among the most conservative members of the house, struck up an unlikely friendship years ago and King’s backing could help convince reticent conservatives that Christie is worth considering, despite his Northeastern roots.

Before returning to Iowa on Thursday, Christie will campaign in New Mexico with Gov. Susana Marti-nez, who has a con-siderable lead in the polls and is considered a potential Republi-can vice presidential candidate. Christie is slated to spend Sunday at a church service and then a rally with South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who’s far ahead of her challenger in polls.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Madi-son Bumgarner and the San Francisco Gi-ants succeeded where no team had in 3 1/2 decades, winning Game 7 on the road for their third World Series title in five years.

Punctuating one of the finest October performances in baseball history, Bumgar-ner came out of the bullpen to pitch five scoreless innings on two days’ rest for his third win of the Series, and the Gi-ants held off the Kansas City Royals 3-2 Wednesday night in a championship pushed to the limit.

A two-out misplay in the ninth almost wrecked it for Bumgarner and the Gi-ants. He had retired 14 in a row when Alex Gordon’s single fell in front of center fielder Gregor Blanco, who let the ball get past him for an error that allowed Gordon to reach third.

Bumgarner, however, retired Salvador Perez on a foulout to third baseman Pe-dro Sandoval. The big left-hander was immediately embraced by catcher Buster Posey, and the rest of the Giants rushed to

the mound to join the victory party. Most of the San Francisco players tossed their gloves high in the air as they ran to the center of the diamond.

Three days after throwing 117 pitch-es in a four-hit shutout to win Game 5, Bumgarner threw 68 more and dropped his record-low career Series ERA to a barely visible 0.25.

He joined Arizona ace Randy Johnson (2001) as the only pitchers in the expan-sion era to win three games in one Series.

Michael Morse hit a go-ahead single in the fourth that stood up, and the Giants eked out a battle of the bullpens on a night when both starting pitchers made unusu-ally quick exits.

The Giants were dubbed a “Band of Misfits” in 2010 when they beat Texas to win the franchise’s first title since 1954 in New York. Two years later, they swept De-troit for another championship.

CMB’s historic season continues

after rout

Cardinals sink Clippers in 3A playoffsTIFFIN — Tyler Wood

sat in the middle of the field with his arms outstretched and holding the football. Newton High’s senior quarterback and defensive back intercepted a Nile Rourke pass with 27 sec-onds left in Wednesday’s Class 3A playoff contest.

Rourke had scrambled and eluded Newton’s defenders to drive the Clear Creek-Ama-na Clippers from their own 3-yard line. The Cardinals were protecting a two-point lead, 23-21, when the Clip-pers took possession with 1:46 remaining the the game.

Wood’s interception sealed the Cardinal victory on the Clippers’ field. It also allowed Newton to advance into the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2007.

“I’m proud of the effort our kids gave tonight. They get to play one more game, at least, as a team,” said Ed Ergenbright, Newton head coach, following the game. “They earned this.”

Awaiting the Cardinals (7-3) in Monday’s second round is No.1-ranked Pella. Pella (10-0) rolled over Fairfield 41-0 on Wednesday. Kickoff is 7 p.m. in Pella.

Defensively, the Cardinals bent three times but for the most part delivered a strong performance against the Clip-pers, who finished the season at 7-3. Newton gave up three

touchdowns. It also took the ball away from CCA five times.

Wood stopped back-to-back Clipper drives in the final four minutes of the game. He recovered a fumble by Rourke, the Clippers’ quarterback, at

the Newton 45-yard line with 3:44 on the game clock, then the interception at the end of the contest.

Early in the game, sopho-more Reese Rosenquist was all over the field making defen-

sive stops. Rosenquist ended up with four solo tackles and three assisted tackles. He had two tackles for loss. Wood had four solo stops and one assist-ed tackle.

“Defensively, we played

outstanding,” Ergenbright said. “They hit a couple big pass plays but we stopped their running game, which is what they want to do.”

The Class 2A No. 7 Raiders, who went un-defeated in the regu-lar season for the first time since the two high schools consolidated, can now mark at least one playoff victory on their wall after a domi-nating performance against South Hardin in the opening round of the Class 2A playoffs.

CMB’s defense held the Tigers to 51 yards and two first downs in the first half and the Raider offense tallied 481 total yards of of-

fense in the game dur-ing a 48-14 first-round thrashing at Sullivan Field.

Raider sophomore quarterback Hunter McWhirter threw for 227 yards and a touch-down and ran for an-other 92 yards and two scores, while sophomore Blake Coughenour add-ed 88 rushing yards, 69 receiving yards and three total TDs in the rout.

“We were happy with 9-0 but we could have come in here tonight and lost so we made sure we were prepared and we were ready for it,” said CMB standout wideout Bryce Kemp, who finished with 96 yards on five receptions.

MOUNT AYR — The No. 1-ranked pass-ing offense in Class A never could shift out of neutral Wednesday eve-ning at Raider Field.

The Mount Ayr de-fensive line — led by Joe and Jake Ricker — heckled Colfax-Min-go quarterback Jared Myers all night as the Raiders routed the Ti-gerhawks 63-7 in the opening round of the playoffs.

“They outmanned us up front,” said Jeff Lietz, head coach for Colfax-Mingo. “Their defensive line brought pressure and we strug-gled getting the ball to our receivers. We just could never get in a groove offensively.”

Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showal-ter was pleased with his entire defense, which held Colfax-Mingo to only 97 yards of total of-fense — impressive con-sidering Myers entered the game with 2,411 yards and 22 touch-downs through the air.

“We were getting good pressure on him early,” Showalter said. “We didn’t get him down until later in the game, but we had him on the move and look-ing over his shoulder a lot. He just never had a chance to set up and get comfortable. I thought our guys up front did a great job and our sec-ondary was aggressive and didn’t back off any-body.”

The defense recorded

three sacks ( Joe Ricker, Jake Ricker and Justin Wehling), seven tackles for loss, one pass block and four fumble recov-eries.

Early LeadMeanwhile, the

Raider offense did more than its part in the vic-tory.

The Raiders scored four rushing touch-downs in the open-ing quarter. Those TD runs came from Nick Wurster (26 yards and 20), Caleb Schnoor (6) and Grant Staats (5). Mount Ayr command-ed a 28-0 lead after the first quarter and led 57-7 at the half.

“Our offensive line opened up some gap-ing holes. We jammed

it right down their throat the first couple of drives,” Showalter said. “We had two scores on the board almost before you could blink an eye. But, we’ve done that all year. We’ve had big opening quarters and kept the pedal down.”

Eight different play-ers found paydirt for Mount Ayr on the eve-ning.

Kyle Dolecheck, who suffered a fractured wrist on Oct. 3, was back in the lineup Wednes-day evening with a cast on his left hand. But, it was like Dolecheck hadn’t missed a beat.

Dolecheck’s passing touchdown came on a 22-yard halfback pass to 6-foot, 2-inch wide

receiver Connor Giles.Shifty SummyColfax-Mingo’s only

touchdown came on an 88-yard kickoff return from Blake Summy with 3:08 left in the second quarter. The shifty junior spun out of a tackle at about the 20-yard line and weaved down the sideline for the TD.

“It was nice to see him get loose tonight,” Lietz said. “He’s a fast little guy. It was good to have him back and healthy. He’s been out this year a lot with in-jury.”

Statistical leadersMount Ayr quarter-

back Jacob Taylor fin-ished 4-for-10 with 51 yards passing and one rushing TD. The Raid-ers nearly had three 100-yard rushers. Cal Daughton had 13 car-ries for 143 yards and one TD, Staats had 11 carries for 120 yards with one TD and Dole-check had six carries for 99 yards and one rush-ing TD.

For Colfax-Mingo, Myers was 9-for-30 with one interception and 77 yards passing. Reegan Van Dyke led the Tigerhawks on the ground with two carries for 12 yards.

The eighth-ranked Raiders have now won nine consecutive games. They will host Van Bu-ren (8-2 overall) at 7 p.m. Monday at Raider Field.

Van Buren — the No. 2 seed in District 6 — defeated Belle Plaine 30-28 Wednesday eve-ning.

Mustangs fall in playoff opener

Martin Bunge/Submitted PhotoPrairie City-Monroe’s Ricky Reeve (3) gets to the end zone on this run to give the Mustangs a 7-0 lead over host Wil-liamsburg in Wednesday night’s Class 2A playoff game. The Mustangs pushed out to a 17-0 lead as Chase Wilkie kicked a 43-yard field goal, but Williamsburg’s Raiders charged back to claim a 45-31 victory.

Jeff Roberson/AP PhotoKansas City Royals’ Billy Butler singles against the San Francisco Giants during the second inning of Wednesday’s Game 7 of the World Series in Kansas City, Mo. The Gi-ants outlasted the Royals for a 3-2 win to the the championship.

And this time, they became the second NL team with three titles in a five-year span, matching Stan Musial’s St. Louis Cardinals of 1942-46.

Every other year. It’s the closest thing to a dy-nasty baseball has seen in the 21st century.

Home teams had won nine straight Game 7s in the Series since Pittsburgh’s victory at Baltimore in 1979, in-cluding the Royals’ 11-0 rout of St. Louis in 1985. Teams hosting the first two games had won 23 of the last 28 titles, including five in a row. And the Giants had lost all four of their previous World Series pushed to the limit.

But before a pumped-up, blue-and-white-clad crowd of 40,535 that

hoped noise and pas-sion could lift the small-market Royals to a title that seemed improbable when Kansas City was languishing two games under .500 in mid-July, the Giants won the sec-ond all-wild card World Series, 12 years after losing Game 7 to the Angels in the first.

Both managers promised quick hooks if their starters showed the slightest signs of falter-ing, and both managers delivered as Tim Hud-son and Jeremy Guthrie combined for 15 outs — matching the few-est by Game 7 starters. Hudson, at 39 the old-est Game 7 starter, al-lowed two runs in 1 2/3 innings.

Jeremy Affeldt fol-lowed Hudson with 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief in his longest out-ing since July 2012, get-ting help from the first successful replay chal-

lenge in World Series history.

With his shaggy hair making him look every bit a gunslinger, Bumgarner entered to boos in the bottom of the fifth, coated his long arms with rosin and groomed the pocked-up mound with his spikes.

He retired the side in order in the sixth, seven and eighth, increasing his pitch count to 52. With loud chants of “Let’s Go Royals!” echo-ing through Kauffman Stadium, he struck out Eric Hosmer to open the ninth, then retired Billy Butler on a foulout to bring up Gordon.

The 25-year-old Bumgarner allowed two hits, struck out four and walked none.

He pitched 52 2/3 postseason innings, 4 1/3 more than the pre-vious mark set by Ari-zona’s Curt Schilling in 2001.

Astrograph

The usual levity of the airy Aquarius moon will be interrupted by shad-owy interactions, first by the sun in Scorpio and then by Venus in Scor-pio. This may turn the friendly good-natured humor of Aquarius into dark comedy. Those who appreciate satire won’t mind this change in tone at all and could even find it intellectually stimulat-ing.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 30). To keep life in balance, cooperation is essential. Your innate sense of fairness, which includes mutual respect and big tips, will attract a posse. In January, your heart beats the rhythm of risk and adventure. Because you don’t suffer fools gladly, you’ll lead the group in April and be paid extremely well for it. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 8, 33, 21 and 17.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You artfully arrange a flurry of responsibilities — more numerous than they are heavy. As for those who pose questions

to you amidst the whirl-wind, you can’t stop long enough to explain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s a slow start this morning, but before you reach for the caffeine, consider that maybe your goal is to blame — it might not be big enough to enthuse you. Raise the stakes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you’re the solution (as you are today), in order to really shine, you need a prob-lem. Go where there are people in need and figure out the best way to help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be quick to laugh, and friends will regale you with loony fun. The quirky lens of humor becomes your preferred view from now through the entire weekend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). With more than seven billion people in the world, you can bet that someone is going through the same emo-tions that you are going through, and whether

those feelings are bad or good, sharing them will lift you higher.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Impossible missions aren’t. You’ll prove this, just like the television program and the subse-quent “Mission: Impos-sible” films did. What’s required is ingenuity and courage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s nice go get permission before you embark, but you’re not likely to get it in a timely manner today. Act when you get the impulse to do so instead of waiting for the head nod that it’s OK.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve changed, and people will want to know how you did it. The de-tails of your journey may seem like no big deal to you, but others will really be inspired by this, so share!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your feelings get rather intense, but you’re also well-equipped to handle them. You’ve learned not to run away from emotions, but rather

to run through them. Joy or sorrow, it’s all tempo-rary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Things will run smoothly because you are di-rect. You see passive-aggressive behavior as weakness and prefer to tell people how you are feeling and why instead of allowing it to distort your behavior.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It could be your slightly inhibited mood, or perhaps it’s the in-timidating characters you have to contend with, but if you don’t feel like talk-ing, don’t. Stay mysteri-ous. That works for you, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In our culture, it is easy to put certain individuals on a pedestal while demonizing others. You don’t do this. You know that everyone is equal, and you stand for this, inspiring the better nature of those around you.

“We wanted to lay it down early and let them know from the start who was going to win.” The Raiders are 10-0 for the first time in program history and play Monday against No. 6 Hampton-Dumont (9-1) in Baxter. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

South Hardin ended up with 206 total yards but scored all 14 of its points in the fourth quar-ter against a running clock that stopped on Ryland DuChane’s 6-yard TD run with 4:17 to play in the game.

But the Tigers also had three turnovers that led to 14 Raider points.

“It was no different than any other game, you don’t want to give them a short field,” said South Hardin coach Barry Scott. “You want to make them work for it and we didn’t.” South Hardin came into the game with four wins against opponents that collected a combined six wins between them. The Tigers were good against those teams, outscoring them 147-59.

But against teams with win-ning records, the Tigers en-tered Wednesday averaging 7.6 points per game and the Raiders made sure that number stayed there until CMB coach Rob Luther called off the start-ers in the final frame.

“We really played physical football tonight and that was good to see from our guys up front,” said Luther. “We have some playmakers and we just got on them early. The defense played lights out tonight, too.”

Kemp came into the game with 38 catches for 826 yards and eight scores. The East-

ern Michigan recruit also has scored touchdowns throwing, running, on defense and in the return game, but he got plenty of help from his teammates against South Hardin.

Kemp finished with 96 yards on five catches, but Coughe-nour and Hunter Gunderson each scored long touchdowns in the passing game. Coughe-nour’s 65-yard TD catch capped a string of three straight scores from the sophomore tailback and Gunderson’s 66-yarder from backup QB Nate Bishop capped CMB’s scoring early in the fourth quarter.

“We have so many playmak-ers on this team,” said Kemp. “It doesn’t matter who you give the ball to, they will make a play. We are just all working as a team.”

Jordin Wilkie led the Tigers

(4-6) with 86 rushing yards and his 1-yard TD run put South Hardin on the board early in the fourth quarter. Ry-land DuChane’s short TD run capped the scoring and ended a continuous clock that was set in motion on McWhirter’s 42-yard TD run early in the third quarter.

“He is just getting better and better,” said Luther of his soph-omore QB. “He’s growing up in front of our eyes. He made some really good reads in the running game. He is headed in the right direction and that will help us tremendously.”

CMB’s defense came into the game with 14 interceptions, 15 sacks and five fumble recov-eries. The Raiders picked off South Hardin quarterback Sam Shindelar three times. Two of

those interceptions came from junior Brady Stover, who now has 10 picks on the season.

“He is a great player. Ten picks is outstanding,” said Kemp of his teammate Stover. “He is making great plays, and he is working his butt off.”

Clayton Weltha also had a team-high 8 1/2 tackles and a sack for the Raider defense, while Mac Pohlman finished with six tackles.

Shindelar threw for 49 yards and the three intercep-tions and Wilkie also had 32 yards on two catches. Eric Mulder came into the game with 67 catches, 705 re-ceiving yards and 10 TDs, but the Raiders held him to just one catch for minus-7 yards.

Despite a 9-0 record in the regular season, the Raiders dropped to No. 7 in the Asso-ciated Press poll after the final regular season game. They didn’t let that bother them Wednesday though as they jumped out to a 31-0 lead at halftime. CMB’s defense also did not surrender a first down until midway through the second quarter.

“We are pretty focused. We stay level headed,” said Luther when asked about the rankings. “Rankings are rankings, but we just focus on our next game.”

That will be Monday in Baxter against a Hampton-Du-mont squad that beat South-east Valley 53-7 on Wednesday. Hampton-Dumont’s lone loss was a 20-7 defeat to top-ranked Clear Lake.

The only bad news of the night for the Raiders came in the third quarter when second leading tackler Nick Littell went down with what appeared to be a serious leg injury. Play was stopped for about 30 min-utes as Littell left the field and

went into an ambulance on a stretcher.

“We are not sure how it hap-pened. It’s a leg injury and it doesn’t look good,” said Luther. “He was in a lot of pain and we are hoping for the best. He’s a warrior and a great player. We’ll see what happens in the morning. He is a big part of this defense. We just hope he is around for the next one.” SH 0-0-0-14—14CMB 10-21-10-7—49CMB — Joey Nissen 25 yd FGCMB — Hunter McWhirter 9 yd run (Nissen kick)CMB — Blake Coughenour 8 yd run (Nissen kick)CMB — Coughenour 1 yd run (Nissen kick)CMB — Coughenour 65 yd pass from McWhirter (Nissen kick)CMB — McWhirter 42 yd run (Nissen kick)CMB — Nissen 25 yd FGSH — Jordin Wilkie 1 yd run (Eric Mulder kick)CMB — Hunter Gunderson 66 yd pass from Nate Bishop (Nissen kick)SH — Rylan DuChane 6 yd run (Mulder kick)South Hardin CMB11 First Downs 1927-157 Rushes-yds. 38-18849 Passing yds. 293206 Total offense 4816-15-3 Passing 13-19-10-0 Fumbles-lost 3-15-50 Penalties-yds. 8-653-42 Punts/Avg. 0-0

Troy Hyde/Newton Daily NewsCollins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Bryce Kemp, right, can’t get away from South Hardin tackler Bridger Lawrence during the Raiders’ 48-14 win in Class 2A football playoff action Wednesday in Maxwell. Kemp finished with 96 yards on five catches in the win.

Deonne Harris, Newton senior running back, scored two first-half touchdowns on runs of three yards and 33 yards. Harris, unofficially, had 10 carries for 74 yards. Fellow senior running back J.T. Thongvanh piled up 55 yards on 18 carries.

Nick Easley, senior wide receiver and kicker, missed an extra-point and a 38-yard field goal attempt, but he made up for it by hammering home a 30-yard field goal at the 6:33 mark of the fourth quarter. That proved to give the Cardinals their winning mar-gin.

Newton’s offense and defense made statements on the first two posses-sions of the game. Taking the open-ing kickoff, the Cardinals launched an 11-play, 77-yard scoring drive. A fourth-and-13 pass from Wood to se-nior tight end Jordan Travis kept the drive alive, moving the team to the Clippers’ 12-yard line.

Tristan Peters, another senior run-ning back, bulled ahead for six yards and junior Joseph Banfield gained three more yards. Wood handed the ball off to Harris, who pushed across the goal line from three yards out. Easley’s ex-tra-point gave the Cardinals a 7-0 lead with 7:05 left in the first quarter.

Cordarro Pearson set sail on the en-suing kickoff for the Clippers. New-ton senior linebacker Michael Barr made a touchdown-saving tackle at the CCA 41-yard line. Three running plays had the Clippers at the 50-yard line, facing a fourth-and-one.

Rourke had the Clippers line up quick and attempted a quarterback sneak. He was met by a wall of Cardi-nal red and black at the line of scrim-mage. Newton’s defense turned the Clippers away.

Newton’s offense quickly turned the big defensive stop into points. Wood put the ball in the air and Ea-sley caught it in stride, pulling away from CCA defenders. Easley scored on a 50-yard pass play and kicked the extra point for a Cardinal 14-0 lead.

“We talked to the kids about how important it was to get off to a good start and we did that. We had a great first drive, had the big defensive stop and quickly scored off of that,” Er-genbright said. “Clear Creek-Amana made some adjustments and took away a lot of our inside running game. We just tried to get the ball in the hands of our playmakers.”

The Clippers seemed dead in the

water on the next drive. Newton’s de-fense had made Clear Creek-Amana go backwards for eight yards forcing a punt. Unfortunately, the Cardinals were penalized for running into the punter, a 15-yard penalty and auto-matic first down for CCA.

Two plays later, Rourke found Pearson down the middle of the field for a pass-and-catch scoring play that covered 66 yards. Jon Jacobsen kicked the extra point with 2:13 remaining in the first quarter.

Junior defensive back Bryce Tish wasn’t able to hold on to the football thrown by Rourke on a second down play midway through the second quarter. He did make the interception on the next play when Rourke threw the football again.

Tish had five unassisted tackles in the game and one assisted tackle. Se-nior linebacker Brett Wolf racked up six solo stops, a quarterback sack and two assisted tackles in the game to lead the defense.

Again, Newton’s offense went to work quickly. Wood rushed for 10 yards. Harris took the pitch from Wood on the rocket sweep and cruised to the end zone for a 33-yard touch-down. Easley’s kick just missed, leav-ing it 20-7 with 7:13 on the clock.

Rourke, who was 9-of-24 passing for 158 yards, found Tanner Bandy for 23 yards to open a Clipper drive with less than three minutes left in the first

half. On a fourth-and-six play, Rourke connected with Keyan McAreavy for a 28-yard touchdown pass.

Newton held a 20-14 halftime lead.Each team had a three-play pos-

session in the third quarter and had to punt the football. Bandy fielded Easley’s punt and on the return New-ton junior linebacker Duncan Lee stripped the football away and junior lineman Andrew Weiland made his first varsity fumble recovery.

The Cardinals weren’t able to score points off the turnover. A 6-yard touchdown run by Thongvanh was wiped out on a penalty against New-ton. Easley attempted a 38-yard field goal that sailed wide of the mark.

Senior defensive back Jeff Stanton got in the act by intercepting a Clip-per pass with 8:11 left in the game. Harris carried the football from the Newton 43-yard line to the CCA 21. Facing a fourth down with 6:33 left, Newton elected to attempt a field goal and Easley delivered to make it 23-14.

The Clippers struck back quickly. Aaron Akers, who had 74 yards rush-ing in the game, broke off a 50-yard run to put his team at the Newton 17. Bandy did the rest the next play and it was 23-21.

Newton’s defense came up big in the final six minutes of play. Travis, who plays defensive end, recorded three solo tackles, two assisted tackles and a quarterback sack in the contest.

Harris had three solos stops and three assisted tackles.

Offensively, Wood was 9-of-15 for 162 yards passing, plus he had 10 yards on 15 carries. Easley hauled in four passed for 88 yards. Travis had two catches for 63 yards and Thongvanh had two receptions for 13 yards.Newton 14-6-0-3—23CCA 7-7-0-7—21Newton — Harris 3 yd run (Easley kick)Newton — Easley 50 yd pass from Wood (Easley kick)CCA — Pearson 66 yd pass from Rourke (Jacobson kick)Newton — Harris 33 yd run (kick failed)CCA — McAreavy 28 yd pass from Rourke (Jacobson kick)Newton — Easley 30 yd field goalCCA — Bandy 17 yd run (Jacobsen kick)Newton CCA9 First Downs 845-176 Rushes-yds 27-148162 Passing yds 156338 Total Offense 3049-15-0 Passing 9-24-31-1 Fumbles/lost 4-23-35 Penalties-yds 3-156-35 Punts/Avg. 5-35
