Newton professionals recognized with YP of the Year awards

ES MOINES — It was a banner night Thursday for the Young Professionals of Jasper County with both Jessica Lowe and Nathan Unsworth coming home with Young Professional of the Year awards. The duo was recognized during the 2016 Central Iowa YP of the Year awards ceremony hosted at Sticks, Inc. in Des Moines.

Lowe, executive director of the United Way of Jasper County, won the YPC Ashley Oakland Community Service Award. The award is given to a YP who exemplified the volunteerism and spirit of the late YPC board member.

“Winning this Ashley Oakland Community Service Award and having the opportunity to represent my community is a humbling honor. I am so thankful for the opportunities that Jas-

per County has given me.” Lowe said. “I’m dedicated to giving back to my community that has given me so much.”

Lowe is involved in a variety of community activities and organizations including a volunteer and donor at St. Nick’s Christmas Club, marketing volunteer for the Jasper County Conservation Board, co-chair of Newton Fest and vice president of the Friends of Newton Parks.

Unsworth was awarded with the YPC Amy Jenning YP Impact Award. The award is given to a young professional who demonstrates a dedication to creating a vibrant community that attracts and retains young professionals.

“It was a huge honor tonight to be one of the four awarded winners. It was even better to represent Newton and to share this moment with my good friend, Jessica Lowe,” Unsworth said. “I am really proud of what all the young professionals are accomplishing in and around

Jasper County and am excited to see us receive regional recognition. Young professionals have the unique ability to make an impact in Central Iowa, and I am so happy to see people seize that opportunity.”

Along with his career as the administrative park superintendent for the City of Newton, Unsworth spends countless hours volunteering with organizations such as the Newton Wellness Coalition, Jasper County Pheasants Forever, Red Pride Service Day, Project AWAKE, Friends of Newton Parks, co-chair of Newton Fest, and he is the current YPJC president.

Lowe and Unsworth competed against two finalists in the respective divisions for the awards.

Also, for the first time, the public was able to cast a vote to help decide the winners.

Halfway through the fiscal year, the Jasper County Health Department is already out pacing its re ve nu e projection by m o r e t h a n $50,000.

Pryor Along w i t h the increased revenue, the department is requesting approximately $38,000 less in tax payer dollars from the county, in the department’s second year of operation.

The budget for the JCHD department was approved by the Jasper County Board of Health

at its meeting on Thursday.

“We’re costing the county less money but increasing our grant revenue,” JCHD Administrator Becky Pryor said.

The total budget comes in at $954,546 with the department requesting $717,979 from the county. To fill the approximately $236,000 gap, grant funds and revenues are used.

“We have increased our revenue a lot during the past year,” Pryor said. “We get all of the local public health services grant, we get an immunization grant, the Love Our Kids grant and next we are getting a new grant for emergency preparedness which is about $20,000.”

Pacesetters dance team wins third place at nationals

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Newton High School’s Pacesetters took home a third-place finish at the 2017 Dance Team Union National Championship in Orlando, Fla. last weekend.

Newton’s squad received the honor in the small varsity kick category.

Pacesetters coach Paige Meredith said the girls’ success was the result of hard work, team work, determination and knowing whatever they put their minds to they can achieve.

“This is a huge accomplishment for our team,” she said.

“Being able to compete at a national level is an honor in itself, but to bring home a top-three finish is amazing. It’s also such an honor to be among so many

talented teams across the nation.

It definitely pushed the girls more, knowing they were against some of the very best.”

Meredith said the team spent hours on end practicing and perfecting each routine. The team spends a lot of time during practice breaking down each routine to ensure all of the girls are uniform.

The Pacesetters also competed in the pom and jazz categories at the national competition and advanced to the semi-finals.

The team will host its annual Winter Show at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Newton High School gymnasium. Tickets for the event are $5. The Pacesetters will perform their competition kick, pom and jazz routines, as well as other dances performed throughout the year.

Before the show, the Junior Pacesetters will host a clinic in the morning at Berg Middle School. Registration for the clinic begins at 8:30 a.m. and costs $25. The clinic will include a snack and a T-shirt.

When the show gets underway in the evening, special performances will highlight the state solo competitors, Meredith said.

“The show will also spotlight the Junior Pacesetters, the infamous Dancing Dads, the NHS Co-Ed Dance Team and special guests the Berg Middle School Dance Team and inMotion Dance Company,” she said.

“Don’t miss out on an evening of great dances and fun.”

Director of Business Services Gayle Isaac will go over the approval of bills, budget preparation

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jasper County Health Department Administrator Becky Pryor explains the departments budget requests, including asking for $38,000 less than the previous year.

Health Continued from Page 1A Broken down, wages form the majority of the budget at $600,603 or 61 percent. Wages for the next fiscal year include a 2.75 percent increase approved through union contracts.

Benefits come in next at $274,343 or 28 percent. Costs decline steeply from there with miscellaneous costs at

$53,600 or 5 percent, mileage at $32,400 or 3 percent, well plug supplies at $12,000 or 1 percent and computer/ copier services also at $12,000 or 1 percent.

Also in the budget are funds to hire an environmental health assistant to help build redundancy in to the sector of the department. Currently, Kevin Luetters, environmental health director, is the only employee servicing that area.

Pryor said even with the addition of the position, expected expenditures are still way down with projected revenues modest in comparison to actual funds coming in.

“We keep receiving more grant funding for revenue but our expenses are staying the same,” Pryor said.

Singing from the hills “

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

The Sound of Music” has always been one of my favorite things.

I grew up watching the Julie Andrews movie, singing along with every note.

Yes, I have even done the classic 180 degree twirl while belting out “The hills are alive ...” but no one needs to see that.

My love of the story went even further when my high school did its own production my sophomore year.

I played one of the nuns, Sister Margaretta, and I got to watch my fellow schoolmates and music/theatre lovers take on the classic roles I had learned to love at an early age.

So when I took my seat Tuesday among the nearly full Des Moines Civic Center, I was extremely excited to finally see the national tour of the musical so near and dear to my heart.

The Civic Center was abuzz with excitement as curtain time neared. From the first chords of the “Praeludium” at the abbey, I knew I was in for a wonderful performance. The opening sequence with the nuns will always have a special place in my heart. “Maria” was my first “big” musical number when I was in high school.

The nuns have their leader, and Melody Betts as the The Mother Abbess was absolutely breathtaking. She drew you closer with her portrayal in the beginning and blew you away with her centerpiece solo in “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.” She was very much the stern leader of the nun sisterhood, but Betts brought an element of lightheartedness while singing “My Favorite Things” with Maria.

The Mother Abbess was an import-

ant role; however, the story revolves around a girl named Maria. Charlotte Maltby had wonderful stage presence in the role. She brought all the wide-eyed joy the character was supposed to have mixed with a beautiful singing voice. I had chills when she hit the high notes on the titular song of the performance and even more on every note thereafter.

Maltby’s leading lady needed a good leading man. Ben Davis played an excellent Captain von Trapp. He played the strict ship captain well in the beginning, but he was phenomenal when those walls were shattered by finding love once again. The stage show always makes you wait until near the end to hear the beautiful strains of “Edelweiss,” but Davis’ voice made the wait worth it.

The show depended on its young cast as well bringing the seven von Trapp children to life. Maltby does so well with the children. You can tell they have worked together to get everything to flow so well every night. It was wonderful to see such a fine group of young actors on the stage. They were on point

the whole time.

One of the most interesting occurrences for me was not on stage at all.

We were seated next to Gretel’s mother, or more precisely, actress Anika Lore Hatch’s mom. Seated with her very well-behaved young son on her lap, you could see the pride she had in her daughter as she performed her role in front of thousands.

Six-year-old Anika was a delight to watch on stage. I consider it a privilege to have met her mother and learn a bit more about why she wanted to be Gretel and how she made the leap from their hometown in Arizona to traveling the country for the U.S. tour of a major musical. I couldn’t stop smiling every time she was on stage. Keep up the good work, Anika!

“The Sound of Music” is at the Civic Center through Sunday. It’s one of my favorite stories and this cast does such a wonderful job with it. Go see it at your earliest opportunity.

So Anyway Dana King

It may be my be-all end-all Make it stop! I’m am so fed up with these nuisancy phone calls! You know the calls — the ones when no one answers you, or you hear a recording offering some magical vacation or other malarkey.

In fact Tuesday, I received three calls between 9:23 and 9:45 a.m. or I assume that’s what was on the other end of the line, because I didn’t answer. I admit it was out of the ordinary to have that many calls in such a short time frame, but it did prompt me in to action.

How do I know the calls weren’t from someone I know? My caller ID says so. It informs me these calls come from Florida to Montana, California to New York and just about every Midwestern state in between. Now, by chance it was someone I knew, their name would show on my phone screen, or when I didn’t answer, they’d have left a message. So by process of elimination, those calls were from scammers.

I don’t hold much stock in the belief these con artists are going to actually allow anyone to see who they are or from where they are truly calling, let alone their show their actual phone number, so I don’t answer the calls. Then I add them to my auto-reject list. (I once had Oprah Winfrey call me at work — and in case you want her number? It was 999-999-9999. I had to wonder... what could Oprah possibly want at the Jasper County Tribune? I didn’t answer, so I guess I’ll never know.)

Years ago, I made sure our telephone numbers were all listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s National Do Not Call Registry. And the first thing it says when you go to its website? ‘The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls.’

Well, I choose to not receive those calls, yet I’m still getting them. However, I’m guessing most of the calls are from scammers, not from ‘legitimate’ telemarketers. (Is that considered an oxymoron?)

I believe when the Do Not Call Registry was first originated in the early years of the 21st century, it probably experienced its share of success. But in today’s world, there seems to be more and more people out there trying to scam us, one way or another, and the government just can’t keep up.

So anyway...

I’ve done a little research into ways I can avoid these calls on my cell phone. I want to receive calls from the contacts in my phone and block all other calls from ringing, since my phone doesn’t have a way perform this task on its own. Those ‘other’ callers can, however, leave a message if they are actually trying to contact me. That’s not too much to ask, is it?

I did find several apps that appear to offer just what I want, but the one I’m trying is “Should I Answer?”

The first thing about it that caught my attention was the price. Free. The second thing? It had good reviews. It also offers a number of features ... some of which I even understand.

It’s kind of early in my trial run to say for certain this is the be-all end-all to my issue, but so far, so good.

And if you need to call me and I don’t answer? Be sure to leave a message at the beep.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

By Russ Mitchell Dickinson County News

Time for a bad idea to go up in smoke

Terril is a town of 364 residents and it seemed like most of them were looking on from across the street as four fire departments tried to get a blaze under control the night of Oct. 12, 2015.

Tim and Michelle Roth spent 15 years at 306 State Street. They moved there when their oldest sons, Kolton and Reese were only 1 year old.

Michelle still looked stunned when she talked about the improvements her family made to their multi-level house over the years. A lower level had been gutted as part of a renovation project.

Work was underway upstairs, she told us as flames still flashed where a roof should have been.

“But it’s the memories,” she told us. “Kolton won districts at wrestling for high school last year and I can’t get that back. It’s the pictures.

Who cares about the house.”

His editor didn’t know it at the time, but Matt Heinrichs quietly began going through his old galleries at The Dickinson County News. Our sports editor loaded pictures onto a flash drive. He began pulling past issues of the paper out of the archives. He couldn’t get back everything the Roth family lost, but he could give them something.

Kolton got a few lost clips and photos back.

The high school junior has created a few more clips along the way — Matt just ran a photo of the No. 3 ranked wrestler when he picked up his 100th win. There’s a good chance we’ll see Kolton at the 2017 state wrestling tournament and there’s a 100 percent chance we’ll see Matt down in Des Moines

if he does.

That brings us to the Iowa High School Athletic Association, a disappointing broadcast rights agreement and a decision to modify press coverage for hands down the most intense sporting event in the state.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association couldn’t manage — or even afford to manage — its portfolio of sports without lining up a broadcast partner for football, basketball, wrestling and other events. That’s why it established a relationship with the Iowa High School Sports Network.

The IHSSN isn’t a charity. No one would take on such a huge undertaking and agree to lose money on the endeavor. They own the exclusive rights to video and sound if the Spirit Lake basketball team reaches Wells Fargo Arena, if the Harris-Lake Park football team returns to Cedar Falls or if kids like Kolton reach the state wrestling tournament.

To protect its investment, the IHSSN appears to have influenced a few changes as part of its agreement with the Iowa High School Athletic Association.

• Still photographers are going to be moved from the edge of a wrestling mat to a spot behind a barrier a few feet back.

• Print reporters used to cover the state wrestling meet from a media table in the arena. The IHSSN’s new plan relocates them to a sequestered area with TVs, tables and a PA system.

That creates more room for exclusive video and television production, but if Matt doesn’t hear a public address announcement in the media room or if an excited coach jumps in front of him during a near fall, one of our com-

pany’s three hometown newspapers is going to suffer.

• And, who does Matt have to go through to get his state tournament credentials now? The Iowa High School Sports Network.

Matt will have a press pass to be in the arena but they expect most of his reporting from in front of a IHSSN signal in a media room — it’s a signal that’s hard to find in a vast majority of the state, by the way. That aspect of the athletic association’s IHSSN agreement might be the most disappointing.

The IHSSN consultants handed the television rights for high school championship events to CSN Chicago. The Comcast network isn’t an option anywhere in northwest Iowa. It doesn’t sound like it’s even an option in Des Moines.

As football fans who had to stay behind in Lake Park this fall already know: “You must be a cable, DirectTV or Dish Satellite subscriber with the CSN package” to even stream the event over your computer.

Put another way, the Iowa High School Sports Network has an agreement with a broadcaster that doesn’t reach a large part of the state. It controls the credentials for the very print reporters who could at least bring the story back to blacked-out regions of the state.

And, it’s rearranging the furniture at Wells Fargo Arena in a way that makes it harder for people like Matt to cover great kids like Kolton.

The IHSSN is invested in the event. To them, it’s business.

The state’s sports writers are invested in the kids. To them, it’s personal. They shouldn’t have to move one inch from the arena floor.

Not one inch.

DMACC and IMDP team up to save lives The DMACC Newton Student Nursing Club, along with the Iowa Marrow Donor Program, is hosting a bone marrow drive from 2 to 6 p.m. Monday at the Newton Campus. This event is to sign up committed donors to go on the bone marrow registry with just a mouth swab and some paperwork, not actually donate bone marrow.

It is hard to find matches,

and about 70 percent of patients don’t have a familial match.

For thousands of patients with life-threatening diseases, such as leukemia and lymphoma, a marrow transplant from an unrelated donor is their best or only hope for a cure.

While many patients do find the life-saving match they need each year, more donors are needed to help increase the like-

lihood that all patients will find a match. For every 540 people who join the bone marrow registry, one will be asked to donate and help save someone’s life.

Healthy donors between the ages of 18-44 are encouraged to join the registry.

You can also register online and have the swab kit sent to your home at Join.BeTheMatch. org/DMACC​.Â

Spreading the love makes valentine’s day a delight

DEAR ABBY: I have never received a romantic Valentine, and that’s OK with me. With all the sappy movies on TV and the stores blooming in pink and red, we often forget that St. Valentine wasn’t the one in love. (He was a Roman priest who married Christian couples and was killed for his trouble.)

My advice to others, particularly singles, is to take a page out of St. Valentine’s book and focus not on yourself, but on others. Every year on Feb. 14 I give everyone I encounter a kiddie Valentine, and every year at least one person is delighted. I have been doing this for the last 20 years and my St. Valentine’s Days have been happy because of it. It’s amazing the difference that focusing on giving rather than receiving can make. (And it works any day of the year.) — KID AT HEART DEAR KID: I couldn’t agree more with your positive philosophy. Reading your letter lifted my spirits, and I hope it will bring a smile to my readers as it did for me. Thank you for sharing.

DEAR ABBY: I am wondering about the proper way to handle something. I found a dentist I really like and plan to continue seeing for regular cleanings. I asked my dentist to complete an estimate for orthodontic work, and the cost was several thousand dollars. I got a few more estimates and found another company that can do the same work and will charge a lot less.

I plan to go with the least expensive option. However, when I return to the dentist, I’m afraid it will be awkward or that I’ll be perceived as rude for not accepting their service bid. Help! — WHAT’S RIGHT? DEAR WHAT’S RIGHT?: Talk to the dentist you like and tell him/ her you received other estimates for the orthodontic work. Then ask if he/

she can match the lower estimate. You may find the dentist is willing to do that. But if not, the dentist will understand that your budget is what dictated your choice to use someone else.

That’s not rude; it is pennywise.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 57-year-old male, married to a nice enough lady, but I am no longer in love with her.

We’re more like roommates. It has been like this for 15 years.

I want to leave. In fact, I’ve planned it. But now I feel like, seven years away from retirement, maybe I could stick it out. The thing is, I don’t want to. My kids/grandkids are in another state, and I’d like to move there. Should the promise I made to my wife on our wedding day hold me back? — TORN IN CALIFORNIA DEAR TORN: I’m sorry the flame of love has fizzled on your part.

Does your wife know how you feel? If she doesn’t, you’re both overdue for a serious talk.

Before tossing aside your long marriage, you should give marriage counseling a try to see if you can rediscover what attracted you to her in the first place. If that doesn’t work, a move for you may be in order. But first, a warning: If you leave their mother, the “kids” may not be as glad to see you as you might assume they will be.

Iowa abandons unemployment kiosk system DES MOINES — Iowa officials have confirmed that the state has stopped servicing or tracking the more than 700 self-help computer kiosks installed to replace dozens of unemployment offices closed in 2011 as a money-saving effort. Iowa Workforce Development spokeswoman Courtney Greene said it’s unknown how many kiosks in the virtual access points program are still dedicated to helping the unemployed. Initially the kiosks were placed in public places such as libraries and homeless shelters.

2 Ex-police chief pleads guilty to theft, lying to agent

CEDAR RAPIDS — Federal officials say a former eastern Iowa police chief has pleaded guilty to charges of stealing a police gun and lying to a federal agent.

The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Iowa says 47-year-old Jeffrey Filloon, of Toledo pleaded guilty to the counts Thursday in Cedar Rapids’ federal courthouse. In exchange, other counts were dropped.

ADEL — Iowa election officials say nearly 6,000 Dallas County absentee ballots went uncounted from the Nov. 8 election because of mistakes by local election officials. A letter from the Iowa Secretary of State’s office says a total of 5,842 ballots went uncounted, but the office acknowledges the missed votes did not change the outcome of any election on the ballot in the central Iowa county. The office says local officials tallied the votes, but failed to upload those tallies to software that compiles vote reports.

SIOUX CITY — The Woodbury County attorney is expected to announce his ruling Friday on whether he’ll charge a Sioux City police officer who fatally shot Daniel Riedmann, 36, of Dakota Dunes, SD on Dec. 17 during a traffic stop.

Police have said Officer Dylan Grimsley and his partner learned during the stop of an arrest warrant for Riedmann and a warning that Riedmann was considered armed and dangerous. Police say Riedmann ignored the officers’ commands.

City clears way for plastics housewares operation DAVENPORT — Construction is expected to begin this spring on a plastics housewares plant that company officials say will bring 500 new jobs to Davenport.

Davenport Mayor Frank Klipsch says the exact groundbreaking date is not yet known.

—The Associated Press

DES MOINES (AP) — Some of Iowa’s most-populated counties said Thursday they will not quietly accept minimum wage legislation that could result in tens of thousands of workers in the state receiving pay cuts.

The House Local Government Committee approved the bill along party lines. It would ban Iowa’s counties and cities from increasing their local minimum hourly wages above the state standard of $7.25 and cancel higher wages already approved in Polk, Linn, Johnson and Wapello counties. The measure will be debated in the GOP-controlled House before moving to the Senate, which is also controlled by Republicans.

The legislation, introduced by Republican Rep. Jake Highfill of Johnston, also includes modifications to the Iowa Civil Rights Act that would forbid cities and counties from adding protected classes beyond what the state law currently covers. The law protects people from discrimination based on such factors as age, race, gender, disability and sexual orientation.

Highfill said he introduced the legislation to restore certain powers at the state level.

Members of the Boards of Supervisors for Polk and Johnson counties said they will consider legal action against the state if the legislation is passed. Rod Sullivan, a Johnson County supervisor, said he believes the bill represents an infringement by the Iowa Legislature on local government authority.

“It’s such a slap in the face to local control,” Sullivan said. “We’ll fight every piece of this that we can — everything from calling our legislators to going to court to civil disobedience.”

Polk County, the most-populated Iowa

county to approve a local wage increase, estimated 25,000 workers would have benefited from their approved 2019 minimum wage of $10.75.

Linn County supervisor Ben Rogers said 14,000 low-wage workers will be affected by the bill in his county.

Republicans who support the legislation say a standardized state minimum wage will not prohibit individual businesses from choosing to pay their workers more.

Republican Rep. John Landon of Ankeny believes the legislation will provide consistency for companies.

“We’re trying to provide a seamless business climate in the state of Iowa,” he said.

Iowa last saw a minimum wage increase in 2009. At the committee meeting Thursday, Democratic Rep. Brian Meyer of Des Moines introduced an amendment to raise the state minimum wage to $11 per hour. Republicans voted it down, calling it a “separate issue” to address.

Jerry Parker, a chair for the Wapello County Board of Supervisors, said local communities are providing their citizens with living wages because they recognize the negative impact of the state not raising its minimum wage. He said he objects to state elected officials telling communities they cannot look out for their residents.

“Those people have established lifestyles with that small amount of increased income and now it could be lost,” Parker said. “This Republican Legislature, they’re not just taking away dollars from someone. They’re taking food out of their mouths. This isn’t just wrong; it’s a sin.”

Panel OKs Iowa collective bargain bill despite opposition DES MOINES (AP) — Republicans on a legislative committee have approved a bill that would make big changes to Iowa’s collective bargaining law for public employees.

The Senate Labor and Business Relations Committee approved the bill Thursday after hearing strong opposition from Democratic lawmakers, all of

whom voted against the measure.

Iowa’s current collective bargaining law allows public sector employees like teachers, nurses and correctional officers to negotiate job benefits, including health insurance, extra pay and seniority. The proposed legislation would specifically prohibit those discussions.

Republicans say the bill, which includes exemptions for some public safety workers, will give employers greater flexibility to reward top employees.

Unions argue it will hurt Iowa’s workforce and is meant to weaken unions.

The bill is expected to be debated on the Senate and House floors next week.

Tribe files legal challenge to stall Dakota Access pipeline CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — Construction crews have resumed work on the final segment of the Dakota Access pipeline, and the developer of the long-delayed project said Thursday that the full system could be operational within three months.

Meanwhile, an American Indian tribe filed a legal challenge to block the work and protect its water supply.

The Army granted Energy Transfer Partners formal permission Wednesday to lay pipe under a North Dakota reservoir, clearing the way for completion of the 1,200-mile pipeline. Company spokeswoman Vicki Granado confirmed early Thursday that construction began “immediately after receiving the easement.”

Workers had already drilled entry and exit holes for the segment, and oil had been put in the pipeline leading up to Lake Oahe in anticipation of finishing the project.

“The estimate is 60 days to complete the drill and another 23 days to fill the line to Patoka,” Granado said, referring to the shipping point in Illinois that is the pipeline’s destination.

Work was stalled for months due to opposition by the Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes. Both tribes argue that the pipeline threatens their water supply and cultural sites.

In a statement, Cheyenne River Sioux Chairman Harold Frazier said the water “is our life. It must be protected at all costs.”

The Cheyenne River reservation in South Dakota borders the Standing Rock reservation, which straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border. The last piece of the pipeline is to pass under the lake on the Missouri River, which marks the eastern border of both

reservations.

A separate court battle unfolded between the developer and the Army Corps of Engineers, which oversees the federal land where the last segment is now being laid. President Donald Trump last month instructed the Corps to advance pipeline construction.

The Cheyenne River Sioux on Thursday asked a federal judge to stop the work while a lawsuit filed earlier by the tribes proceeds. Attorney Nicole Ducheneaux said in court documents that the pipeline “will desecrate the waters” that the Cheyenne River Sioux rely on.

Energy Transfer Partners, which maintains the pipeline is safe, did not immediately respond in court to the filing. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said he would hear arguments from attorneys on Monday.

The tribes’ lawsuit, filed last summer, has been on hold while the dispute over the final pipeline segment played out. The Cheyenne River Sioux on Thursday told the judge that they also want to make a claim on freedom-of-reli-

gion grounds.

“The sanctity of these waters is a central tenet of their religion, and the placement of the pipeline itself, apart from any rupture and oil spill, is a desecration of these waters,” Ducheneaux wrote.

Standing Rock Sioux attorney Jan Hasselman has said that tribe will also try to block the construction in court, with likely arguments that further study is necessary to preserve tribal treaty rights.

An assessment conducted last year determined that building the final segment of the pipeline would not have a significant effect on the environment. However, the Army decided in December that further study was warranted to address tribal concerns.

The Corps launched an environmental study on Jan. 18, but Trump signed an executive action six days later telling the Corps to allow the company to proceed with construction. Legal experts have disagreed on whether the Army can change its mind simply because of the change in White House administrations.

DNR to hold listening session hunting, trapping regulations Newton Daily News DES MOINES — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is hosting public meetings over the Iowa Communications Network from 6 to 9 p.m. Feb. 22 to listen to the public’s thoughts on the hunting

These meetings are part of the process for making rules in state government.

“Any rule changes must be discussed with Iowa’s citizens who might be impacted by the changes before the

rule changes are proposed. The process helps ensure that rule changes serve the public’s wishes and do not impact Iowa’s economy,” Dr. Dale Garner, chief of the wildlife bureau said.

At each meeting DNR staff will facilitate a discussion about what went

well last fall, what didn’t, and what changes hunters and trappers would like to see for this fall.

These discussions along with the data that the wildlife bureau collects on harvest and population numbers will be used to develop recommendations for

Cardinal boys drop LHC finale to Eagles

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Scoring eight unanswered points in the final two minutes of the first half had Newton High’s boys in charge of a 39-28 lead against the visiting Class 2A fourth-ranked Pella Christian Eagles.

Second place in the Little Hawkeye Conference was on the line along with a seven-game winning streak for the Cardinals when the two teams squared off Thursday.

“In the first half, we looked like the ball team we’ve been the last seven games. We hit a wall in the second half,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said after the Eagles snared a 68-62 win over the Cardinals on Senior Night.

“It happens. We looked a little tired tonight. We’ve played really well to this point and to have it catch up to us on Senior Night is unfortunately for our kids.”

Seniors Josh Ventling, Connor Gholson, Trey Vanderlaan and Morgan Maher and their parents were recognized before the game.

Seventh-ranked Eagle girls spoil Cardinals’ Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News It was there for Newton High’s Cardinal girls. After spotting the visiting Class 2A seventh-ranked Pella Christian Eagles a 9-0 lead, the Cardinals led 35-33 after three quarters on Senior Night Thursday.

A cluster of turnovers coupled with several missed shots by the Cardinals in the fourth quarter allowed the Eagles to reclaim a lead. Pella Christian pulled out a 51-43 victory over Newton to close out the regular season.

Newton finished sixth in the Little Hawkeye Conference with a 3-11 mark. The Cardinals (6-15) prepare for Class 4A Region 3 action, which will be a 7 p.m. home game Wednesday against Waterloo East.

A view — of sort — from mat side P

assion is part of sports, whether you are competing, coaching or watching.

Iowa high school wrestling is down to two tournaments — districts and state — for the 2016-17 season. Since the 2013-14 season, I’ve witnessed the Iowa passion and love for the sport of wrestling through the coverage of area high school wrestling programs.

Newton, Prairie City-Monroe, Colfax-Mingo, Lynnville-Sully and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter are in district tournaments on Saturday. The top two wrestlers in each weight class at each district tournament advance to the state tournament at Wells Fargo Arena.

My first Iowa high school state tournament was in 2014. Wells Fargo Arena was filled to the brim, bottom to top, with wrestling passion.

I grew up with wrestling in Kansas.

We’re just as passionate there. State tournaments are amazing. Even fans with no vested interest in outcomes can attend tournaments and watch the

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets artistry of the sport on the mat.

One big difference between Kansas and Iowa high school state wrestling tournaments is Iowa has all three classifications wrestling in one arena.

Kansas has its four classes at three different locations.

Sitting in Wells Fargo Arena Friday, I was reminded of one of the greatest high school track meets in the nation — the Kansas High School All-Class Track and Field Championships. All six classifications of Kansas high school athletes come together at Wichita State University each May. You can enjoy watching the best athletes from the smallest Class 1A school to the largest Class 6A school.

These type of events are amazing.

I loved that on the big center scoreboard at Wells Fargo Arena had all the matches — scores, times, periods — up there so no matter where someone was sitting they could keep track of a match. You can’t always move around to see the mat-side scoreboard.

There’s the steady ebb and flow of team cheerleaders moving from mat to

mat. The “Let’s Wrestle” announcement signaled the start of each session. In Kansas, teams and fans are allowed to hang banners and signs — not at Iowa.

Then there’s the wrestling. And there was plenty of wrestling to take in over three days of the individual state tournament.

When I wasn’t covering local wrestlers on the mat, I sat and took it all in. The passion mat side and throughout the arena. Unfortunately, if I cover wrestlers at the 2017 state tournament, I won’t be permitted to sit and watch mat side or even from a seat at a media table on the arena floor.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association has removed the tables, putting media in a media room with televisions to watch matches. There will be barriers around the mats, only IHSAA designated photographers will be able to be truly mat side. Local newspaper photographers such as I and Troy Hyde have to stay behind the barriers. We don’t know how this will work, but no newspaper in the state, which sends its own photographers to the state tournament, is happy with the situation.

I love the sport of wrestling. I grew up on a wrestling mat. My father is a wrestler. My brothers and nephews are wrestlers. My father, brothers and

Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said. “We rushed a few shots early in the fourth. They switched to a zone defense and Marce (Marvelli) had a couple of good looks from the corner, but we couldn’t get one to fall.”

Seniors Ellie Horn, Courtney Jacobsen, Ryanne Rausch and Taylor Shipley and their parents were honored during NHS Senior Night activities following the game.

“I couldn’t be prouder of our seniors. What they bring to our program — leadership, toughness and resiliency — was all on display tonight. We wish we could have sent them out on a better note,” Sharp said.” The best things is we’re not done.

We have the regional game in front of our home crowd, and we want to take care of business on Wednesday.”

After falling behind 9-0, the Cardinals reeled off eight unanswered points. It started at the free-throw line with GIRLS | 3B

Wrestling is a sport that challenges the individual. There’s no one else on the mat with you. It’s you against one opponent. Your talent, your strength, your knowledge, your passion against one other, who has just as much passion for the sport.

There’s no one to block for you. No one to set a screen for you. No one to rebound the ball for you. It’s basic oneon-one. There are times when nothing goes right on the mat for you.

But when it all comes together, it is magical.

I’ve never had that pleasure. I’ve watched from mat side many times as wrestlers I knew, and many I didn’t, experience it both ways. Emotions run high. Tears come both in defeat and in victory.

My father and mother both loved the sport. They worked together to establish a youth program in my hometown in the 1960s. Mom is gone now but her legacy of passion for the sport lives in her children. Dad continues to coach youth at age 89.

Passion is his motivation.

Tigerhawk boys rout Southeast Warren

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News LIBERTY CENTER — Juniors Jarod Nichols and Reegan Van Dyke both recorded double-doubles, and the Colfax-Mingo boys basketball team used a big first quarter to grab an early lead and then pulled away even further with a strong final frame.

Nichols scored 17 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, while Van Dyke added 12 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks as the Tigerhawks ended a two-game losing streak with a 56-35 road victory against Southeast Warren.

The Warhawks, who were coached by current Tigerhawk head coach Nick Noring last season, has now lost 13 straight games.

Colfax-Mingo (9-11) played its third straight game without guard Zarek Hill, who has been suspended the rest of the season for violation of team rules.

Freshman Brady Berkey added 10 points and three assists, while junior Jonathan Jacobs chipped in seven points, five assists, five steals and four rebounds in the win. Sophomore Holister Koenig scored eight points.

Colfax-Mingo led Southeast Warren (318) led 15-7 after one quarter and took a 25-14 lead into halftime. The Tigerhawks pulled away in the fourth with a 16-7 advantage.

PCM’s Nearmyer signs with Grand View track

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News When Tatum Nearmyer was younger, softball was her life.

She even expected to play the sport collegiately.

Several years later, Nearmyer no longer plays softball. Her athletic love has changed.

Tuesday, she made sure her latest love follows her into college as she signed her letter of intent to run for the Grand View University track and field team.

“I never thought I would run track in college, but I am excited,” Nearmyer said. “I think this is truly the right decision for me. Along with being excited, I am also nervous because it’ll be quite the change, but it’s something I’m ready to take on.”

Her decision to run track came between Grand View and Buena Vista.

If she didn’t make the decision to extend her career, she may have ended up somewhere completely different.

“The first school I looked into was Simpson. I liked their campus and everything, but it just wasn’t the place for me,” Nearmyer said. “I also looked at Iowa, UNI, Iowa State and Buena Vista.

“I visited Grand View for the first time early last June and it gave me this feeling, and I knew it was the right place.

I visited a second time and I attended a track and field visit day, and I just loved the atmosphere of the place.”

Another factor in choosing Grand View for Nearmyer was

Joining Nearmyer for the signing were her parents (front row) Alysha Schnug and Todd Nearmyer.

the location. She has younger siblings and wants to be a part of their lives as much as possible.

Nearmyer is a three-time state track qualifier for the Mustangs and will go for her fourth state berth this spring.

The best state meet finish for Nearmyer came in the 4x400-meter relay last season.

She teamed with Jayci Vos, Ashley Van Gorp and Rachel Stafford to place 14th overall.

As a junior, Nearmyer joined Emily Hugen, Mackenzie Clarke and Stafford to finish 21st in the sprint medley relay.

Nearmyer also helped the Mustangs finish 21st in the

shuttle hurdle relay as a freshman.

That team also included Rachel Gulling, Kayla Jennings and Abbi Gilson.

Nearmyer has competed in just about anything PCM coach Bridget Martin needed her to.

Most of her work comes in relays, where she has been in hurdles and run distances anywhere from 100 to 800 meters.

She does not know what events she will run in college hopes one of those events is eventually the 4x400.

“There is just something about that race that makes me love it,” Nearmyer said.

“Although it’s the last event of

the night, I think it’s pretty exciting and watching everyone run back and fourth, cheering on their team, makes me love it even more.”

Nearmyer is unsure what she wants to major in but has a few options to what she wants to do after college.

“Right now I don’t really know,” Nearmyer said. “I’m stuck between becoming a kindergarten teacher and something fitness related. Either way I go, I would be happy because I love kids and I love fitness.”

Quick start propels CMB boys over W-G

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — The story of Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s boys basketball non-conference game against Woodward-Granger can be told in the first eight minutes.

Four different Raiders got into the scoring column, and a strong inside-outside attack led to a fast start. The 13-point advantage ended up being nearly the difference in the entire game as the Raiders scored a 66-49 home victory over the Hawks.

The Raiders’ zone defense also played a factor in the win. CMB held Woodward-Granger’s top two scorers to nine points under their combined average.

“Offensively, we played good inside-out and rotated the ball well, which opened up the 3-pointer,” CMB coach Zach Hasselbrink said. “Some nights we hit those and some nights we don’t. Tonight we made them.

“Defensively, we got after it and trapped them in the corners, and we were effective in those problem areas. Hopefully we can find a way to be active for longer. They eventually started to pick it a part in the second half.”

CMB freshman Cole Damman scored all eight of his points in the first quarter.

He started the game with a 3-pointer, and then ended the frame with another trey and a layup. In between, sophomore Will Clapper connected on three shots inside the lane and sophomore Ian Thomson buried the first of his four triples in the game.

Clapper finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Thomson scored 12. Junior Braydon Aker chipped in nine points and seven rebounds off the bench.

“We talk about going to our strengths, and going down low to our big guy is our strength,” Hasselbrink said. “(Clapper) didn’t miss a shot there for a while.”

Woodward-Granger (9-12) applied a full-court press the entire game. Sometimes, that helped the Hawks close the gap. Other times, the Raiders (5-15) got easy buckets in transition.

Hasselbrink was happy to be able to work against the press as the postseason nears.

“I loved it. We do a lot of press break in practice. We need to work on it, and tonight we played it well and got some easy buckets,” Hasselbrink said. “It showed what we work on in practice is working, and I was happy to see us execute the game plan.”

Clapper put the Raiders up 23-6 with back-to-back buckets in the second quarter. Junior Noah Galloway connected from outside to make it 26-11. Thomson

Troy Hyde/Daily News Not even a double team most of the night from Woodward-Granger’s defense slowed down Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Will Clapper, center, on Thursday. Clapper scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the 66-49 victory in Maxwell.

hit another trey later in the quarter, and Aker got on the scoresheet by hitting 3-of4 from the free-throw line.

CMB led 36-19 at halftime. Thomson got his third 3-pointer early in the third and then made his fourth a few minutes later. Clapper scored on two consecutive possessions after Thomson’s first trey to put the Raiders up 44-26.

Aker came through with two buckets inside the lane to help CMB lead 53-37 after three quarters.

Clapper put the finishing touches on the win in the fourth quarter. Most of the damage came from the line, where he hit 4-of-6. The Raiders’ 6-foot-4 post player came into the game shooting 63 percent from the line. He made 5-of-7 against the Hawks.

“It’s huge to have our big guy as one of our best free throw shooters,” Hasselbrink said. “He opens up a lot of avenues for us offensively. When we work the ball around, we can get the ball into Will eas-

ier, and if they are going to guard him 1-on-1, we’ll go down to him every time.”

CMB shot 54 percent from the floor and connected on seven 3-pointers. The Raiders were 11-of-19 from the line.

Woodward-Granger, which came into the game winners of four of its last six games, was led by Spencer Hanson’s 11 points.

Gonzaga — the last remaining unbeaten team in Division I — pushed its record to 25-0 overall and 13-0 in the West Coast Conference.

The balanced Bulldogs also received 13 points from Jonathan Williams, and 11 points each from Jordan Matthews, Zach Collins and Killian Tillie.

Loyola (11-13, 4-9) was led by Steven Haney’s 12 points, all coming on his four 3-pointers. Brandon Brown and Buay Tuach each had 11 points for the Lions.

No. 10 UCLA 82, No. 5 Oregon 79 Aaron Holiday gave UCLA its first lead on a 3-pointer with 4 minutes remaining in the game and the Bruins rallied from a 19-point first-half deficit.

This renewal of one of college basketball’s fiercest rivalries lived up to its pedigree, with 17 lead changes, nine ties and neither team leading by more than eight points.

No. 16 Purdue 69, Indiana 64 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Vince Edwards matched his career-high with 26 points and Caleb Swanigan added 16 points and 14 rebounds for Purdue.

Sturtz nailed a 3-pointer with 2:17 left to put Newton up 49-41. Freshman Quintrail Coley had a basket to make it 51-43. A three-point play by the Eagles’ Levi Jungling ended the third quarter to close the gap to five points.

“We got it out of the way now. We have two more games remaining in the regular season. We’ll rebuild and get the momentum going our way again for the playoffs,” Liley said.

Pella Christian’s Kenden Veenstra had the opening basket of the game. The Cardinals had things working at both ends of the court with Sturtz scoring, making a steal and a cross-the-lane pass to Gholson for the goahead basket.

Newton shot 37 percent, 22-of-59, from the field for the game. Pella Christian, which shot 60 percent in the second half, finished at 57 percent (24-of-42) for the contest. The Eagles cashed in on 15-of-23 free throw attempts while the Cardinals were 7-of-8.

Astrograph

Excellence is within our power and not a blessing reserved for the naturally gifted. Put in the time; get results. Being attracted to an activity is reason enough to pursue it. Of course, the returns will be exponentially better if the attraction is accompanied by talent. The Leo full-moon lunar eclipse will bring lucky landings on pursuits that fit the bill.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 2). Let people spoil you like they want to this month, even though you don’t need all of the fuss. They’ll be better off for the energetic investment, and more attached to you, too. A new talent blossoms in March. April brings a move.

Love has you doing unexpected things in July. A windfall happens in October. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 21, 38, 4, 6, and 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your allies and your adversaries are strong, and ultimately this is the stroke of good fortune that helps you to stay strong yourself. A worthy opponent is a great blessing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, something that pretty much never occurs naturally. For instance, your personal path will curve, switchback, pitch

up and down -- but it’s all progress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Why do you find it so much easier to be wise for others than for yourself? Because when you give advice, you’re not the one who has to follow it. But if you do choose to follow your own advice now, it will lead to fast success.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll celebrate the big events when they come up, but don’t wait for big events to celebrate.

The silly, small events will be more memorable. Anyway, why do you even need a reason to revel in all that’s good?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be making “notes to self” all day long. It will help you to write them down, or you’re

likely to forget. You’re onto something; you just don’t know what it is quite yet. Look at what you’ve covered and where you’re going next.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

No one will think any less of you if you stick to your values even when the cool kids are smoking in the bathroom (or whatever the grownup version of that is). Your integrity makes you more than cool; it makes you hot.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is better to try and fail than to do nothing and succeed. Take a chance. The more you risk rejection and emotional injury, the easier it gets. The easier it gets, the bigger your life becomes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There are things you’d like to do that never seem to fit into your schedule. That’s how you know that they are not really the important things. You always have time for what is truly important to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Big breakthroughs rarely come -- a few times in a lifetime for the lucky. Most accomplishments are the result of incremental efforts, building momentum by chalking up a little progress each day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your friendships will open doors, bring out your best and bring you great joy. As Capricorn President Woodrow Wilson said, “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

What holds the skyscraper up is buried hundreds of feet deep in the ground; the taller the building, the deeper the foundation. Be patient with your own building process. You won’t show signs of height so much as depth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is easy to mistake imagination for ego. Both tend to work in the language of illusions and distortions. Much depends on who is at the center of the fantasy.
