Officer injured during arrest of Newton man Man seen carrying machete in street

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News One man is behind bars after an incident with police Thursday afternoon led to minor injuries to an officer.

Brian A. Callison, 41, of Newton, was seen by witnesses standing in the street at various locations, yelling and carrying a long knife. Callison was gone each time an officer arrived.

Police were called at 5:15 p.m. to an apartment complex at 400 North Second Avenue East in reference to a man breaking things and Callison yelling with something shiny in his hands. Officers arrived and identified Callison walking northbound with a machete attached to his waistline and a hatchet in his hands.

Callison was seen by police hitting a utility pole with the hatchet, according to the police report. Police approached Callison was he went to a house at 220 E. Fourth St. N. Callison told police the pole looked like it as going to fall and he was trying to fix it.

Police told Callison to remove the machete from his waist, and he refused. Callison reportedly advanced toward an officer on a front porch. Officers took Callison to the ground, and Callison continued to resist arrest. An officer sustained an injury to his knee while Callison resisted arrest, according to a police report.

Callison is being held in jail, awaiting his initial court appearance.

Celebrating Scouts Jasper County area Boy Scout troops come together for ceremony

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — Tigers and wolves and bears, oh my! Members of Jasper County area Cub Scout packs gathered as one for an important ceremony for the Webelo 2s on Saturday as they took the final step to becoming Boy Scouts.

Troops from Prairie City, Colfax, Mingo, Monroe and Newton met at the United Methodist Church in Prairie City for the Arrow of Light and Bridging ceremony for scout members from packs 344 and 345.

This is one of the largest gatherings of scouts in the county many

can remember.

“It is great to see this many scouts together,” Scoutmaster Matt Roghan said.

The evening started with songs and skits performed by each of the packs. From do-as-I-do and sayas-I-say songs to multiple comical skits, those in attendance, including family and friends, were very entertained.

Cubmaster of Pack 345 and Arrow of Light Den Leader Aaron McConeghey then took a moment to talk about the scouts’ decision to remain in the organization.

“You have the chance to do something really awesome things,” Mc-

Coneghey said. “Twenty years from now, think about it, do you want to be disappointed by what you didn’t do, or do you want to be happy you stayed in the scouts.”

After a brief break, the official ceremonies started. This year, five scouts, called Webelo 2s, were taking the next step in the scouting journey and moving from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. Those honored include Austin Disney from Pack 344, Benjamin Keeney from Pack 345, Blake Owen from Pack 344, Merritt McConeghey from Pack 345 and Thomas Stadelmann from Pack 345.

KOA owners bring hospitality to Newton

In Brief Prince’s Warner Bros. catalog goes to all streaming services

Campground opens for season April 1

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Seeking a vacation close to home isn’t always an easy task, but with an RV, a swim suit and a fishing pole, getaways might not be so hard.

Just off of Interstate 80 in Newton sits Kampground of America, and even though it’s a nationally known business that began in 1962, Newton owners Wayne and Helen Rose greet their guests with small town charm.

The Roses moved from Cedar Rapids to join the franchise in 2010.

Wayne, a retired mechanical engineer, said after he was laid off from a power plant, and he told his family they needed to take a vacation before he started a new job.

“I told Helen I’m not going to have vacation time for awhile, let’s take the kids to Yellowstone,” Wayne said.

While the family was away on the trip in their RV, the couple contemplated the idea of how fun it’d be to have their own campground business one day. Helen said that’s when they began investigating several campgrounds that were for sale.

“When we saw the one in Newton was for sale, we started crunching the numbers and then we just jumped,” Helen said. “We said bye to the corporate world and decided to do something that is fun.”

Wayne said many people asked him why they bought an RV park in the middle of Iowa.

The answer became increasingly clear for the couple after owning the park for a few years. Wayne said their campground had 4,500 camping units last year.

“We have nearly doubled our business activity in recent years,” Wayne said. “We see a lot of people from out of state who primarily stay one night, but then we still get a lot of people and their families who stay four to five nights.”

Many international travelers come from the Chicago airport to KOA, according to the Roses.

“They get off the plane in Chicago, rent a RV with Cruise American and then drive west, and we are the first campground stop for them since we are 350 miles away,” Helen said. “Many

then drive to San Francisco and drop off their RV there.”

Helen said when people are staying at KOA for a long period of time, they ask where to shop, where to buy groceries, and they even sometimes ask about the Valle Drive-In and Maytag blue cheese.

“We send them into town to find those things,” Helen said. “Every day is different and you never know who is going come into your office.”

Wayne said the hospitality they are able to show travelers passing through is the real reason they bought an RV park in Iowa.

“It’s all about getting families together to do things they are normally too busy to do,” he said. “It’s important to make those memories.”

Some amenities offered at KOA include, Wifi, cable, pool, playground, game room, fishing and showers.

The couple is excited for the new season to begin April 1 through Oct. 31.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tidal’s exclusive streaming rights to Prince’s Warner Bros. Records catalog is over.

The record company announced that starting Sunday, his music on the label — including albums like the seminal “Purple Rain” to his early work like “Dirty Mind” — will be made available on all streaming services.

The timing of the release — on the day of the Grammys — was not coincidental. All of the music is expected to be available on all streaming sites by the time the awards show begins and a tribute to the singer is planned during the ceremony.

In a statement, Warner Bros. Records Chairman and CEO Cameron Strang thanked Prince’s estate for its help to make the deal possible.

Said Strang: “Prince recorded his most influential and popular music during his time with Warner Bros. and we are deeply aware of our responsibility to safeguard and nurture his incredible legacy. Warner Bros. is thrilled to be able to bring Prince’s music to his millions of fans around the world via streaming services, fittingly on music’s biggest night.”

Prince was famously protective of the rights to his music and before he died chose Tidal to exclusively stream his new music and his catalog because of the financial equity of the deal. The service, which counts Jay Z as one of its owners, held on to those rights after Prince died April 21.

But the superstar died without a will, and decisions were made by his estate, and Universal Music Publishing became the administrator of his musical rights. Last November, the estate sued Jay Z’s Roc Nation to halt Tidal’s exclusive streaming rights.

Warner Bros. Records also announced Sunday plans to remaster “Purple Rain,” a project Prince was working on before his death, as well as two albums of unreleased music and two concert films from his Paisley Park vault. Those projects will be released June 9, two days after what would have been his 59th birthday.

“When we make any of Prince’s music available to fans — from the hits to unreleased gems — we are committed to upholding Prince’s high creative standards and we know fans will be thrilled when they hear these albums and see these films,” Strang said.

Shoppers weigh boycott calls as buying gets more political ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Stormy Patterson makes a distinction between opinion and action as she surveys each new call to boycott Company A or support Brand B. It’s “silly” to penalize Under Armour over its CEO’s praise of President Donald Trump, she says. Far more important is how a company behaves toward its customers or employees, especially if it has an impact on their rights.

“Hobby Lobby, I won’t patronize them. I won’t touch them. And I actually used to go there like once a week,” said Patterson, who opposes the chain’s refusal to pay for some kinds of birth control

for its employees.

Long before Trump slammed Nordstrom for dropping his daughter’s clothing and accessories line — spurring the president’s supporters to call for a boycott of the department store — politically active consumers have used their purchasing power strategically. They could punish brands with which they disagreed, and reward those whose views aligned with theirs.

In the polarized Trump era, the simple act of buying a drink or shoes has never seemed so political. Social media makes it easier than ever for activists and con-

sumers to target or defend stores and brands that take a stand or those they see as proxies for a politician.

As a result, “every shopping bag is a potential political statement,” said Allen Adamson, founder of Brand Simple, a consulting firm. “It is like carrying a sign in a rally.”

Patterson said her political views have “absolutely” influenced her buying decisions.

“I think everybody has their different extremes, or what they feel is worth taking a stand for,” said Patterson, who turns 34 on Monday, as she shopped with her husband and 16-month-old

daughter at an Allentown mall.

The weaponized buying can be a minefield for retailers and brands, many of which are already struggling as malls fall out of favor and people buy more online.

Some companies deliberately enter the political fray, betting that their customers will support their points of view.

Others tread carefully, trying to avoid a backlash.

With advertising everywhere, Americans are used to seeing brand messages all the time — but not from politicians. Most Americans would prefer brands to not be political, said Wendy Liebmann,

CEO of marketing consulting firm WSL Strategic Retail, and she believes companies should focus on larger messages rather than weigh in on specific political issues.

Courtney Taylor, 21, of Center Valley, Pennsylvania, said she believes shopping and politics should remain separate. But she has her limits. Taylor, who voted for Trump because she opposes abortion, said she’d stop shopping at her favorite store if it were to start donating to an abortion-rights group.

Companies “need to know if they’re going to release a political statement, people are going to react,” she said.

The ceremony started with Boy Scout members of Pack 354, adorned in traditional Native American garb, exiting a life size teepee to the sound of a war drum. They then took turns addressing each Webelo, approving them to receive their Arrow of Light and move on to the bridging ceremony. “The Arrow of Light is the highest rank that can be achieved by Cub Scouts and is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on their Boy Scout uniform.

We are very proud of our Scouts who have worked so hard to complete this significant achievement,� McConeghey said. “Each of our Arrow of Light Award recipients have been presented with a plaque with the yellow and blue sunbeam and an arrow commemorating his Cub Scout journey. Each of these five boys joined Cub Scouts as Tigers in their firstgrade year, but their

McKim, who also runs the Legion’s social media and website, said there will be a good variety of chili at the cook-off, including hot, mild, medium and chicken-based concoctions.

The rules for the chili cook-off are pretty simple – it must be homemade, and contestants must provide two gallons of chili. Contestants were also asked to decorate their table. They will be judged on aroma, spice, flavor, originality, consistency and color.

The cook-off will be judged by Sen. Chaz Allen, Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, Newton City Councilwoman Lin ChapÊ, and Energy 106.7 FM’s Sarah Jorges and Ron McCarthy.

Tickets are $5 and include a bowl of chili. Children under 12 years old are free. Tickets will be sold at the door or can be purchased prior to the event at the Legion.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Cubmaster of Pack 345 and Arrow of Light Den Leader Aaron McConeghey leads a say-as-I-as and do-as-I-do song during the Cub Scout overnighter on Saturday at the United Methodist Church in Prairie City.

Scout journey is unique and their Arrow are as individual as they are.�

The bridging ceremony, led by Charlie Owens, Cubmaster for Pack 344 and Seth Shannon, Cubmaster for Pack 348, had Cub Scouts from each pack bring out planks with qualities of what a scout is emblazoned on them, creating

a bridge. The five Webelo 2s then each took the step across the bridge, finalizing their journey to become a Boy Scout.

The newest Boy Scouts selected Troop 354 of Newton to continue their scouting journey. They were able to visit many area troops before making a final decision.

Not long after the ceremony was complete, excited scouts started unpacking their tents and sleeping bags in preparation for the over-nighter for what was sure to be an active night.

The Minimalists T

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

iny houses kind of creep me out. At least the phenomenon of tiny houses featured in the HGTV show “Tiny House, Big Living.” I’m relatively claustrophobic so the idea of living in something the size of a closet does not appeal. I typically turn the channel.

But a documentary I recently watched has actually helped me understand this lifestyle and while I’m not ready to move into a broom closet, I totally appreciate this less is more idea.

“Minimalism: A documentary about the important things” tells the story of two friends who adopted this lifestyle for five years, wrote a book about it and then went on a national tour. They were each living The

American Dream — earning, spending, consuming stuff — as we’re told to do in a million different ways each day. The end result was they were not buying their way to happiness so they made some drastic life choices.

So they are pretty hardcore (one of the guys packed just one pair of jeans for a 10-month tour) and the film features a ton of other hardcore minimalists, but it’s so intriguing. It captures great insight about our society that urges this longing for more things to the point where it almost becomes automatic. Yet when we do acquire new things we eventually become dissatisfied with them and want the newer, shinier version.

The minimalist theory these two adopted means asking with each pos-

session — does it serve a purpose or does it bring me joy. At the same time it demands living more deliberately.

So these folks living in tiny houses aren’t just chilling out watching TV or surfing the internet all the time. They are having experiences, really engaging with people and aren’t consumed with the demands of a large household or maintaining their “stuff.”

One of the women featured in the film talked about how calm she was after downsizing to a smaller home with fewer things. There was just less to think about, not as many demands.

This makes total sense to me. Three bathrooms is a luxury until you’re scrubbing three toilets on your day off.

Where they lost me was the minimizing of clothes, shoes and accessories. The creator of the 333 Project shares how she dressed with 33 items for three months. That includes clothes, shoes, jewelry, handbag — everything. She was a big ad executive when she did this experiment and

nobody noticed she was wearing the same 33 things. Some of the other minimalists talked about the quality of the clothes they do have and how much they enjoy them. I have a walkin closet full of clothes and shoes and, I still have clothes and shoes that spill into three other closets in my home.

Yes, I could probably stand to address that issue, but the creators of this documentary also convinced me why I have all these things. We’re told we need them, all the time, every day.

We’re urged to engage in self-indulgence and consumption. The minimalist movement suggests people consider whether something will add value to your life before purchasing it as a way of curbing your appetite for more things.

I love the idea of these ideas, I’m just not convinced I could put them into practice. Besides, tiny houses creep me out.

Eye on America John Stossel

Smearing Team Trump Oh, no! I did it again.

It was a foolish mistake. But I slipped.

I read The New York Times.

This is bad for my health, because I get so mad at the smug socialist spin, but how can I not read it?

It’s my hometown paper. My wife wakes me up with indignant questions like, “How can you say government is too big? The Times says ... “ Aargh! Nearly every day brings a new Times outrage.

Saturday, a front-page story smeared Labor Secretary nominee Andy Puzder.

The story begins, “Decades before President Trump nominated him ... Puzder went to battle with federal labor regulators ... “ Wait a second. “ Decades before”? They went back decades to criticize him? Actually, three decades — to 1983, when as a young lawyer, Puzder represented a client whom the Labor Department accused of squandering union money.

The Times went on to say: “He has repeatedly argued that economic regulations stifle economic growth.”

Puzder “argued” that? Regulations obviously stifle growth. That’s their purpose — to protect workers by putting limits on businesses’ pursuit of profit.

Regulation is a big reason this post-recession recovery has been so weak.

In just the last 10 years, the Department added regulations that require another 70 million hours of paperwork.

Monday: “Trump’s F.D.A. Pick Could Undo Decades of Drug Safeguards.”

Oh, no! Trump will poison America with unsafe drugs!

President Trump hasn’t actually made his FDA pick yet, but the Times worries “his push for deregulation might put consumers at risk.”

The reporter cites thalidomide, which, 60 years ago, “caused severe birth defects in babies whose mothers had taken the drug in pregnancy. Since then, the F.D.A. has come to be viewed as the world’s leading watchdog for protecting the safety of food and drugs, a gold standard ... “ Fool’s gold. The FDA protected American babies from thalidomide not by being smart, but by being so slow. By the time thalidomide neared approval, its bad effects were visible in Europe.

The Times eagerly reports damage done by drugs: “Drug safety watchdogs point to examples like the painkiller Vioxx, which was withdrawn from the market ... “ But “invoking Vioxx as the icon for such looseness is itself ignorant looseness,” says my medical researcher brother, Tom. “FDA approvals are tradeoffs between benefits and risks. The FDA knew about Vioxx’s risks. It was the company, not the FDA, that withdrew the painkiller. Many doctors now say it was an ill-advised move that deprives patients of a good alternative. Vioxx’s risks are no greater than painkillers like Motrin sold over the counter.

The Times avoids detailing just how onerous today’s regulation is. The reporter says, “The agency sets a 10-month goal for approving standard drugs.”

Gee, goals are nice, but does the agency honor them? The Times doesn’t say. It also doesn’t mention that the 10-month goal only applies to the final step of regulation — after all trials are done.

The entire process takes an average 16 years and $2.6 billion.

Americans want protection from bad drugs, but how many of us suffer needless pain, or die, while waiting those 16 years? How many die because a drug’s developers cannot raise $2.6 billion?

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Bill offers tax break to farms, small businesses, teachers and families I am proud to be introducing legislation to help Iowa taxpayers by “coupling” Iowa’s tax code with recent federal changes for 2016, the taxes Iowans must pay this April.

This legislation will benefit nearly 24,000 farmers and small business owners by allowing them to take advantage of a provision called Section 179 expensing. Federal law allows these taxpayers to take a larger deduction on equipment they have purchased as an investment in their operations. If Iowa “couples” with the federal tax code, these folks also get to take a similar deduction on their state tax

State View Sen. Chaz Allen returns.

The Republican chair of the Senate’s tax-writing committee says he does not intend to support the legislation this year, but I am not giving up. Thousands of Iowans want to use these provisions, which have been available to them in previous years, to lower their state taxes.

Last year, tax coupling legislation helped:

• More than 39,000 Iowa teachers who purchase supplies for their classrooms with their own money.

• More than 43,000 Iowans who own their homes, by allowing them to deduct mortgage insurance premiums from their state taxes.

• More than 18,000 Iowans who are going to college or getting training to improve their skills and better their lives.

• More than 45,000 working Iowans who are married with three or more children, by expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit.

On July 29, 1945, after Robert “Bob” Hoskins was discharged from the Army, she and Bob were married in Chariton. Helen was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and a member of the First Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday school and young people for many years. While raising her family, Louise worked as secretary for the church, Jasper County Extension Office,

and Marte Lewis; and her nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bob Hoskins, in 1998; sons, Ivan Eugene in 1946, Christopher Allen in 2002, and Carl Bruce in 1999; a sister Frances; and a brother-in-law, Jerry Hull Graveside rites will take placer in the Chariton Cemetery at a later date.

A day of service is one too many for reluctant employees DEAR ABBY: My boss wants to do a day of community service with the staff to help others and improve relationships in the workplace. I thought it was a great idea; a lot of my co-workers were unsure and wanted more information about what specifically we would do. My boss said she would get more information and send it out to us.

However, a few of my co-workers are outright opposed to the idea and think they shouldn’t be required to do it.

A year ago when this came up, one of them said they shouldn’t have to give up their free time. I think it’s wrong to turn down a chance to help others when they are able. What should I do to make sure my boss’s intentions are understood while not being off-putting or appearing holier-than-thou? — BLEEDING HEART DEAR BLEEDING HEART: The person who should be making her intentions clear is your boss. It should not be your responsibility. Frankly, I can see both sides of this question.

Some companies do this not only to “do good,” but also to build goodwill in the community and team spirit in the office. Usually, participation is voluntary.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for two years. He’s eight years younger than I am. We have a great relationship except for our worldviews. While I am liberal, he is very racist. When the subject comes up, our conversations can become very heated.

I believe everyone is entitled to his/ her opinion, but both of us have a hard time validating our opinions for each other. My boyfriend never directs his racist comments toward anyone in particular, but it’s hard for me not to take it that way.

One of my best friends is African-American, and my son is currently dating someone who is biracial. How do we agree to disagree without anyone being upset or hurt in the end? — OPEN-MINDED IN INDIANAPOLIS

DEAR OPEN-MINDED: After two years of togetherness, your boyfriend knows full well that one of your best friends is African-American and that your son is dating someone who is biracial. You may never be able to broaden his mindset, but the next time he makes a racist remark, if you haven’t already, tell him you don’t want to hear it because it makes you uncomfortable.

And while you’re at it, make sure he understands that if he says anything that could possibly hurt your friend or your son, the romance will be history.

P.S. You must be desperate for companionship to have tolerated this for two years.

DEAR ABBY: A family member likes to use the toilet as a garbage disposal. I’ve asked her to please dump the food scraps into a trash bag or pour them out in the backyard, but she prefers the “easy flushing.” How do I get her to stop the extra wear-and-tear on our toilet? Plumbers are expensive. — MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN DEAR MDTD: Yes, plumbers ARE expensive. And there’s a reason why we are supposed to use receptacles for what they’re intended. If you are responsible for the toilet that’s being used as a garbage disposal, make sure the family member knows she will be footing the bill for the plumber. However, if the toilet is her responsibility, this may be a lesson she will need to learn — over and over -- on her own.

​ ES MOINES — Authorities are invesD tigating the Des Moines slaying of a woman and the crash death of a male suspect.

Day care worker arrested, after going to work drunk

CLARION — A Clarion man pleaded guilty in federal court to receiving child pornography.

Jonathan Dean Sebert, 24, entered the plea Thursday. Prosecutors say he admitted that between August 2012 and January 2015, he knowingly received images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

A federal indictment says those images were found on a hard drive in his laptop computer.

DES MOINES — A Grimes day care worker has been arrested after sheriff ’s deputies say she showed up to work drunk.

U of Iowa tightening tuition rules on out-of-state students IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa is tightening the rules for incoming out-ofstate students seeking in-state residency after beginning their studies. Officials say a record 317 part-time freshmen enrolled at the university for fall 2016. Many of those nonresidents weren’t taking enough credit hours to trigger the higher, full-time tuition. Out-of-state students who want to become residents must live in Iowa for at least a 12 months.

—The Associated Press

Iowa aware of only handful of improper votes

By Ryan Foley The Associated Press IOWA CITY — Iowa’s top elections official, who is pushing for a voter identification requirement that could make it harder for some to vote, has only been informed of 10 votes that were potentially improper out of nearly 1.6 million counted statewide in the November election.

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate’s office learned of a handful of cases of alleged double votes and votes cast by ineligible felons on Election Day that were counted, according to a summary of “general elec-

tion irregularities” obtained

by The Associated Press under the open records law.

Further review by the AP showed that most of the instances were mistakes rather than fraud, and may not have been stopped by an identification requirement. They included a non-English speaking citizen who mistakenly voted when he registered and again on Election Day, a felon whose voting rights had been restored in Wisconsin but not Iowa, and a non-citizen who turned herself in after learning later she shouldn’t have been eligible to vote.

Donald Trump easily beat

Newton man arrested for threatening police

Hillary Clinton in Iowa to carry the state’s six electoral votes in the Nov. 8 election.

The review shows that instances of improper voting were minuscule in Iowa, even as Trump calls for an investigation into voter fraud and Republicans who control the state Legislature consider restrictions. A Pate-backed bill introduced Wednesday calls for mandating that voters show certain state-approved identification, which would require 85,000 residents who lack driver’s licenses, passports and other accepted IDs to obtain new state voting cards and bring them to polls.

Iowa has been one of the most convenient places for residents to vote in the nation, and has among the highest voter turnout. The state has a long window for voting early, Election Day registration and polls that are required to stay open until 9 p.m.

A group representing Iowa’s 99 county auditors, who run elections in their jurisdictions, has opposed Pate’s plan.

“Our system is incredible here in the state,” said Johnson County Auditor Travis Weipert, noting that one vote out of 80,000 cast in his county remains under investiga-

tion. “Incredible. We have 99 auditors who work their tails off ... The system works perfect and they are trying to fix a problem that isn’t there.”

The only person charged with election misconduct in Iowa is Terri Rote of Des Moines, a Trump supporter who told police she voted twice because she believed the candidate’s claims that the election was rigged and that her first ballot wouldn’t be counted. Her attorney has argued in court documents that Rote is likely mentally ill and a judge is considering whether she’s competent to stand trial.

Small groups rally at Planned Parenthoods in Iowa, Nebraska COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — About two dozen people showed up Saturday to protest outside of Council Bluffs’ Planned Parenthood clinic, carrying the same message as their counterparts nationwide: Cut off government payments to the organization.

There weren’t any counter-protesters defending Planned Parenthood outside the clinic in this deeply conservative western Iowa city, unlike protests in some other parts of the country in which anti-Planned Parenthood protesters were far outnumbered by supporters of the group.

The small Iowa rally was met mostly with honks of approval and thumbs-ups from passing motorists.

An occasional passer-by objected “with a middle finger, or shouts of words I can’t repeat,” said local organizer Terri Naegele.

Naegele, 57, of nearby Walnut, said she scrambled to organize the rally about two weeks ago after

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A Newton man accused of threatening to shoot police was arrested after a domestic assault incident.

Jerry E. Wilfawn, 32, was arrested at 7 p.m. Feb. 7 after police were called to an apartment at 621 N. Second Avenue W. in reference to a domestic assault. The victim told police the incident was a verbal altercation only.

The victim told police Wilfawn threatened to shoot police and the victim if they called 911.

Wilfawn has a prior conviction of domestic assault with intent to Wilfawn display weapon from 2014 in Jasper County.

Wilfawn was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail. His bond was set at $5,000.

learning of the planned nationwide protests. She was joined by several family members, including her husband Marvin, a daughter and three grandchildren.

Lon Schroeder, 61, held a sign that read “Planned Parenthood LIES to you.” Asked about it, he said he believes Planned Parenthood’s mission is focused more on providing abortions than protecting women’s reproductive health.

“One of the most unsafe places in the world today is in a woman’s womb,” he said.

Schroeder and Marvin Naegele said they don’t want poor women to go without cancer and other health screenings, which is why they want any funding pulled from Planned Parenthood to go toward free or low-cost clinics that provide those services, but not abortions.

“There are plenty of places women can go for low-cost or free service — there’s one across the street,” Marvin Naegele said, point-

ing to Gabriel’s Corner pregnancy counseling center. The center’s website says it’s a Christ-centered ministry serving women and men facing an unplanned pregnancy.

Services provided by Planned Parenthood — such as breast exams, pap tests and tests and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases — are not among those listed on the Gabriel’s Corner website.

President Donald Trump last month banned U.S. funding to international groups that perform or provide information about abortions. His newly confirmed health secretary, Tom Price, has supported cutting off federal funding to Planned Parenthood.

Federal dollars don’t pay for abortions, but the organization is reimbursed by Medicaid for other services, including birth control and some screenings.

Other rallies were held at Planned Parenthood clinics across Iowa, including in Cedar Falls, Des Moines, Iowa City and Sioux City.

9. WHO WAS STILL BELLE OF THE BALL Even though Adele flubbed one of her live performances at the Grammys, she took home all five awards she was nominated for, including album, record and song of the year.

10. YOU JUST MIGHT RECOGNIZE THESE FURRY FRIENDS Some of the thousands of dogs competing at the Westminster Kennel Club show have been in movies and TV shows, stage productions, magazine pages and ads.

AP Photo Adele poses in the press room with the awards for album of the year for “25”, song of the year for “Hello,” record of the year for “Hello,” best pop solo performance for “Hello”, and best pop vocal album for “25” at the 59th annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center on Sundayin Los Angeles.

Adele wins top Grammys, but pays tribute to Beyonce LOS ANGELES (AP) — In an extraordinary moment between the music industry’s top female artists, Adele beat Beyonce for three of the top Grammy Awards — then said her competitor deserved at least one of them.

The Grammys featured memorable performances by the likes of Bruno Mars and A Tribe Called Quest, big victories by Chance the Rapper and David Bowie, and some unusual flubs Sunday, but they were overshadowed by Adele’s triumph and how she responded.

The Recording Academy did nothing to calm criticism that black artists are overshadowed in major awards by more conservative white musicians.

Adele’s “Hello” won Grammys for song and record of the year and its creator flashed pride: she called it “my favorite song I’ve ever done.”

Her win for album of the year was more of a surprise. “25” was a commercial smash but Beyonce’s “Lemonade” won wider acclaim as an artistic statement.

In tears, Adele thanked the academy for the award and poignantly talked about reclaiming a bit of herself after having difficulties with motherhood. Then she addressed Beyonce, praising “Lemonade” as monumental, beautiful and soul-baring.

“The reason I felt I had to say something was my album of the year is ‘Lemonade,’” Adele said backstage later. “She is my icon of my whole life.”

She told of practicing a Spice Girls song for a school assembly growing up in Britain until her friends turned her on to Beyonce’s singing on the 1997 Destiny’s Child song “No No No.” “It’s her time to win,” Adele said. “My view is kind of what the (expletive) does she have to

do to win album of the year? I felt this album showed another side to her that we haven’t seen and I felt blessed to be brought into that situation.”

If that’s how Adele felt, many Grammy Award critics are likely to chime in. One prominent black artist, Frank Ocean, did not submit his work for Grammy consideration this year and criticized the academy for giving its top album award to Taylor Swift over Kendrick Lamar last year. Kanye West and Drake did not attend the Grammys this year.

Beyonce won two Grammys and her visually arresting performance of “Love Drought” and “Sandcastles” won acclaim Sunday. Perhaps sensing it would be her last chance, she took the time to explain her thoughts behind “Lemonade” upon winning the Grammy for best urban contemporary album.

Double Three-peat Strikes NHS bowling teams sweep Little Hawkeye Conference meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinal bowling teams each worked through a few bumps during Saturday’s Little Hawkeye Conference meet.

The NHS girls and boys still had a large pin-count lead over the other teams going into the Baker Games round.

The Cardinal teams claimed their third straight LHC meet championships on their home lanes as the seven conference teams competed at Cardinal Lanes.

“The bowling alley was packed and the fans fueled the excitement in the room,” Newton head coach Seth Banwell said. “Our bowlers stayed clam and remained focused.”

Newton’s girls won by a 280-pin count, 2,261, over second-place Bondurant-Farrar, 1,981. The NHS boys rolled up a 2,649 final pin count to win by 142 pins over second-place Oskaloosa, 2,507.

In the girls’ division, Pella finished third with 1,917 followed by Oskaloosa at 1,881, Knoxville at 1,814, Norwalk at 1,777 and Pella Christian at 1,574. Knoxville was third in the boys’ competition with a 2,395 followed by Pella at 2,373, Norwalk at 2,344, Bondurant-Farrar at 2,068 and Pella Christian at 2,032.

“They did an incredible job facing tough opponents — some that beat us during the regular season,” Banwell said of the Cardinal bowlers. “However, our teams prevailed today. It’s great seeing the growth of the team throughout the season and have it pay off at the conference meet. I’m extremely proud of the kids and how well they competed.”

Mustang girls advance after PCM trio clinches blowout victory over Albia berths into state

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The Prairie City-Monroe girls’ basketball team got off to a slow start Saturday night during the opening round of the Class 3A Region 8 tournament.

Whether it was due to nerves, the memories of losing at home in last year’s playoffs or playing late on a Saturday, no one really knows.

The good thing is none of that matters. Once the 3A No. 11 Mustangs got going, Albia didn’t stand a chance in a PCM 56-19 win over the Blue Demons.

PCM didn’t score in the first 3 minutes, 49 seconds, but that didn’t mean a thing once the clock showed all zeroes in the fourth quarter.

The Mustangs’ stifling defense held Albia to single digits in all four quarters, and the offense eventually caught fire as PCM advanced to the regional semifinals.

“It was a little bit of everything. It may have been the Saturday thing.

We were just hurried and jittery,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said. “We talked about it a few times. Each time we talked about it, it got better. “(Albia) is aggressive, and we knew that. We just tried to go over-aggressive with them. We needed to just slow down. Once we started playing with a little more calm, then it started

to take off.”

Three Mustangs reached double-figures in the win.

Senior Kayla Jennings finished with a game-high 21 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals, freshman Regan Freland added 15 points, five steals and four rebounds and senior Katie Vande Wall

chipped in 11 points, eight rebounds and five steals.

Jennings said after the game she felt like the slow start was attributed to nerves. The Mustangs don’t talk at all about last year’s semifinal loss to Chariton, but it’s still natural to feel nervous when the postseason rolls around.

wrestling tourney

“I think we had some butterflies. But once we got going, we were good to go,” Jennings said. “We aren’t motivated by last year’s loss. Most of us are seniors. That’s all the motivation we need.”

Jennings and Freland came into the game leading the team in points per game. That didn’t change Saturday, and the backcourt had 24 of the Mustangs’ 27 points at halftime.

A bucket by Jennings with 4:11 left in the first quarter got PCM on the board. Freland made it 4-2 and then a Jennings 3-pointer pushed the lead to 7-2. The Mustangs led 10-4 after the first quarter.

Points were hard to come by all night long for Albia (11-11). The Mustangs have hung their hats on defense all season, and that continued Saturday.

PCM had 20 steals in the game, and a lot of those turnovers transitioned into easy buckets at the other end.

Vande Wall gave credit to Albia when talking about the slow start. The senior forward simply thought PCM’s opponent played a 2-3 zone better than they expected.

“They looked a little bit different than what we planned on,” said Vande Wall, who passed her sister Lindsey as the school’s all-time leading rebounder earlier this season.

KNOXVILLE — Prairie City-Monroe senior Xavier Miller has taken every invitational tournament title in stride this season.

After each win and another championship, Miller turns his attention to the next one, knowing there’s more tournaments to win.

Saturday, Miller added another championship to his growing list this season as he went 2-0 at the Class 2A District 5 tournament at Knoxville High School.

Miller will be joined Miller at this year’s Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships by two teammates — sophomores Lucas Roland and Jarron Trausch — who also both went 2-0 and claimed district championships at their respective weights.

The Mustang trio will begin their quests for a state title at 6 p.m. ThursRoland day at Wells Fargo Arena in downtown Des Moines.

Miller (45-2) will take a 35-match win streak into the state tournament. He dominated his competition once again Saturday.

Miller, ranked third at 145 pounds, began the day with a 15-0 technical fall win over Albia’s Bryce McKim. He clinched a spot Trausch in the state meet later when he defeated sixth-ranked Justin Smith (3510) of Winterset, 8-3.

Iowa State cruises past Oklahoma AMES (AP) — For once, Iowa State gave its fans a game they didn’t have to sweat out until the final buzzer.

Naz Mitrou-Long scored 23 points and I o w a S t a t e cruised p a s t Oklah o m a 80-64 on Saturday, sending the S o oners Mitrou-Long to their seventh straight defeat.

Mitrou-Long buried five 3s for the Cyclones (15-9, 7-5 Big 12), who blew the game open with a 21-4 run midway through the second half.

It was just the second time in 12 games decided by more than 10 points for Iowa State — which followed an overtime win over No. 3 Kansas with an agonizing two-point loss at Texas.

“It was definitely nice,” Iowa State senior Matt Thomas said.

“That’s what should’ve happened. That’s the way we need to play, especially at home.”

Iowa State blew a nine-point lead early just after halftime, allowing Oklahoma to tie it at 41-all. But the Cyclones tightened up their defense, letting up just four points during an eight-minute stretch that was among their best all season.

Lynnville-Sully wrestlers ousted at 1A district

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News HUDSON — Lynnville-Sully’s freshman Jacob DeHoedt wrestled for a berth in the 2017 Class 1A State Wrestling Tournament after winning his third-place match Saturday in the 1A District 1 tournament.

DeHoedt lost his 106-pound semifinal match by a fall to top-ranked Daniel Kimball of Don Bosco in 1 minute, 16 seconds. DeHoedt pinned English Valley’s Tanner Mihal in 5:56 of their third-place match, and Kimball won the district title match.

That all gave DeHoedt the opportunity for a wrestleback match for second place. He faced Zack Nichol of DikeNewt Hartford for second.

Nichol pinned DeHoedt (2116) at the 1:32 mark, and the Hawk freshman finished third.

Lynnville-Sully junior Cayden Johnson also finished third in the 152-pound class.

He was pinned by Don Bosco’s Jeremy Schmitz in 1:29 of their semifinal bout.

Johnson (35-12) claimed an 11-4 decision over Wapsie Valley’s Colin Schrader in the third-place match. Schmitz lost in the title match and by

rule took second place.

The Hawks had seven wrestlers in the district tournament and did not qualify one for this week’s state tournaWalston ment in Des Moines.

“At the end of the year, we came together as a team. We started wrestling with a lot of heart and passion,” Lynnville-Sully first-year coach Jason Walston said. “At conference and sectionals, they wrestled their best and left it all on the mat.”

Walston said the Hawk wrestlers who were at the district tournament wrestled really well. He said they just came up a little bit short.

Sophomore Ty Breeden (2227) took fourth at 126. He was pinned by Wapsie Valley’s thirdranked Donny Schmit in 56 seconds in the semifinals. English Valley’s Cooper Andreassen pinned Breeden in 50 seconds in the third-place match.

At 132, junior Josh Dunsbergen(30-14) lost by a 12-1 major decision to Don Bosco’s Max Wettengel. He

DeHoedt

was pinned by Wapsie Valley’s Conner Brandt in 2:30 of the third-place match to finish fourth.

Taking on Wapsie Valley’s second-ranked Kaleb Krall in the 138-pound semifinals, senior Caden Dunsbergen (2523) was pinned in 36 seconds.

He placed fourth after being pinned in 1:36 of the thirdplace match by HLV’s Caden Fontinel.

“We had three great seniors on the team as leaders this season. Caden was the leader by example. Bryson Barnett stepped up and won matches for us. Colten Arment was hampered by injuries most the season, but was there to help lead the team,” Walston said.

Junior Carson Dunsbergen (15-9) placed fourth at 145 pounds. He was pinned in 3:12 of the semifinal match

Tigerhawks lose momentum heading into postseason

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News THORNBURG — A poor shooting night doomed the Colfax-Mingo boys’ basketball team in a loss to Tri-County during a South Iowa Cedar League crossover game Friday night.

The Tigerhawks connected on 7-of14 from long range but made only 13of-40 inside the arc and couldn’t overcome a first-half Nichols deficit during a 5752 defeat.

Colfax-Mingo trailed 14-10 after one and fell behind 28-21 at halftime. The Tigerhawks (9-12) rallied to get within four going into the final quarter, but Tri-County (6-15) won the final frame 20-19.

Van Wyk’s perfect shooting lifts Hawks to victory

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News KEOTA — Junior Jesse Van Wyk was perfect shooting the basketball for Lynnville-Sully Friday night. The Class 1A fifth-ranked Hawks needed him to be as they had a slow start against host Keota in their South Iowa Cedar League cross-over contest.

Van Wyk was 8-of-8 from the field, hitting one 3-pointer, and went 2-of-2 at the free-throw line for a game-high 19 points. He led the Hawks in a 54-50 win in a non-conference game against the Eagles.

“We had a hard time getting it Van Wyk going offensively in the first half.

Its never easy to get a win at Keota,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “The guys fought back in the second half and made just enough plays.”

The Hawks trailed throughout the first half, down 27-19 at halftime. They outscored the Eagles 19-10 in the third quarter and finished with a 16-13 run in the fourth period.

Hawkeyes run out of gas in loss to Spartans EAST LANSING, Mich.

(AP) — Michigan State’s four freshmen scored in double figures in the same game for the first time If that becomes a trend, the Spartans will be in much better shape as they try to close the season strong enough to extend their coveted streak.

Miles Bridges scored 14 of his 16 points in the first half and finished with 11 rebounds and four blocks, leading Michigan State in a 77-66 win over Iowa on Saturday night.

The Spartans (15-10, 7-5 Big Ten) came off a lopsided loss at Michigan to win for a third time in four games, improving their chances of playing in a 20th straight NCAA tournament.

“I’m really thrilled with the win,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “It’s hard to come off a rivalry game playing as poorly as we did and bounce back.”

Bridges was the only freshman who did much of his scoring in the first half when his

team needed him most, leaning on him to overcome making 12 turnovers and just 13 of 31 shots.

“Bridges in the first half was the difference,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.

Nick Ward scored 12 of his 14 in the second half, Cassius Winston had all of his 12 points in the second half and Joshua Langford scored eight of his 11 points over the last 20 minutes of the game.

“If Josh plays like that all the time, we’ll win all these

games,” Bridges said.

The Hawkeyes (14-12, 6-7) have dropped two straight games after winning three in a row.

They led 32-31 at halftime after 10 lead changes and five ties at Michigan State.

Langford’s 3-pointer early in the second half started a 17-6 run that put Michigan State up 57-45 midway through the second half. The Spartans easily maintained a comfortable HAWKEYES | 4B

PCM boys fall to HOIC runner-up in home finale MONROE — In the first meeting against Greene County, Prairie City-Monroe’s boys basketball team allowed 12 3-pointers and both Trey Tucker and Trey Hinote scored 26 points each.

In the second meeting Friday, PCM coach Fred Lorensen said the game plan was to hold Hinote in check.

Only one of the Treys went off this time around. Unfortunately, Lorensen didn’t plan on his team committing too many untimely turnovers, and those miscues plagued the Mustangs during the deciding second quarter.

PCM led by three after one quarter, but Greene County took advantage of the home team’s turnovers, took control of the game in the second quarter and then held off a late Mustang rally during a 70-65 win in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

“We turned the ball over two or three times in a row (in the second quarter), and that hurts you when the other team is as good offensively as Greene County is,” Lorensen said.

“They are going to make baskets. We just want to dribble and dribble and dribble.

That just leads to turnovers.

We need to pass it around better and make the defense work.

That’s when we play well.”

Tucker, the HOIC’s leading scorer at 24 points per game, scored a game-high 31 points for the Rams, who locked up second place in the HOIC after the win. South Hamilton won the conference title following its win over North Polk on Friday.

The Mustangs held Hinote to 14 points. Wade Adcock chipped in 12 for the Rams.

“Our goal was to not let Hinote go for 26 again,” Lorensen said. “I don’t think it matters what you do against Tucker, he’s going to get his points. We wanted to take away one of them the best we could.”

Junior Jackson Thomas finished with 22 points, five rebounds and three assists for PCM. Sophomore Andrew Van Ryswyk chipped in 18 points, 12 rebounds and three assists.

Sophomore Reed Worth also scored in double-figures with 12 and had three assists

and three rebounds.

The rest of the team had a total of 13 points, seven of which were scored by junior Elijah Sperfslage.

The Mustangs grabbed the lead late in the first quarter following buckets by Thomas and Sperfslage.

The Rams (14-6 overall, 13-3 in the HOIC) tied the game early in the second period and then Tucker got going. Greene County’s all-time leading scorer put in back-toback buckets to put the Rams up 28-23.

That started a 12-0 run by the visitors. The Mustangs (10-11, 9-7) got the deficit to four at halftime.

Tucker began the second half with a pair of free throws, but PCM got within one following a bucket inside and a 3-pointer by Van Ryswyk.

Tucker started and ended a 10-0 Greene County run with 3-pointers.

The Mustangs couldn’t get closer than seven until Van Ryswyk connected on a threepoint play to get the deficit to 68-64 with 26 seconds to play.

Down five, PCM missed four straight shots inside the lane on its final possession.

“Even with the turnovers and some missed free throws, we were still right there within striking distance,” Lorensen said.

The lone-time Mustang coach said his team took too many quick shots, too.

“If you take a quick shot, you better make that sucker,” Lorensen said.

“We have guys who don’t have good percentages that are taking quick shots. If (Thomas) or (Van Ryswyk) takes a quick shot, you think well it might go in. But we have some guys who are struggling that are taking quick shots and when you do that and miss, no one is really in position to get a rebound.”

Tucker scored 10 of his 31 in the third quarter. Thomas had nine of his 22 in the third.

Each team hit 10 3-pointers.

Tucker buried six from long range, while Thomas connected on six for PCM. Thomas also had five rebounds and three assists.

Tigerhawk girls end season with loss to North Mahaska

Continued from Page 1B “They did a much better job with their 2-3 zone. We just had to adjust to that and run the offense like we know how.”

That’s exactly what happened. PCM outscored Albia 17-4 in the second quarter and 20-7 in the third to pull away.

In the second, all 17 points were scored by either Freland or Jennings. Freland scored eight in the period. Her final bucket put the Mustangs up 27-8 at halftime. Jennings scored four points from the free-throw line, got a bucket inside the lane and then drilled another 3-pointer.

“We had good ball movement in the game. We did a good job of just taking open shots when they were there,” Jennings said. “And then the dump down to (Vande Wall) and Kaylee (Townsend) was there a lot, too.”

The only other adversity PCM faced the rest of the way involved foul issues. Freland picked up two early fouls in the first half, but that proved to be a non-factor.

Townsend and senior Bailey Brodersen rarely play on the floor together. In the second half, both had to sit next to each other on the bench because both was saddled with four fouls.

Vande Wall finished with 11 points, eight rebounds and five steals in the victory.

Vande Wall and seniors Rachel Stafford and Lexi Timmins on the bottom line in the 2-3 zone. Timmins finished with six rebounds.

“It reinforces how I have tried to build this team. I want us to have a lot of versatile parts,” Lindsay said.

“That’s still not a bad bottom line in the 2-3 zone. But that gave us five girls that can run up and down the floor. We didn’t have the post presence inside but we were faster. It’s just a different team with that lineup, but these girls just do whatever it takes to help the team.”

Vande Wall got her offense going during PCM’s 20-point third quarter. She was beneficiary of several open looks in the lane and she converted most of them. She put in six of her 11 points in the third and then scored the first three points of the fourth.

NEW SHARON — The Colfax-Mingo girls basketball team was much better against North Mahaska the third time around Saturday than it was in the first two meetings. The Wa r h a w k s were still good enough to adBrown vance to Class 2A Region 6 quarterfinals.

North Mahaska defeated the Tigerhawks for the third time this season when it broke open a close game with a 16-4 third quarter. Colfax-Mingo trimmed into its deficit in the fourth but lost 58-49.

The first two meetings ended in 49-32 and 66-38 wins for North Mahaska (16-6).

Colfax-Mingo ended its season at 5-17, but if the final three games are any indication, the Tigerhawks’ future is promising. Colfax-Mingo blew out Iowa Valley on Feb. 2 and then lost to 16-4 Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont by a single point a few days

later.

The effort Saturday continued to show that Colfax-Mingo may be trending in the right direction.

Dakota Hostetter (nine points and nine rebounds) and Amy Russell (five steals) both graduate, but sophomores Payton Rhone and Mackensie Brown and juniors McKeely Tjaden and Ries Wilson return next year for the Tigherhawks.

Rhone buried four 3-pointers and scored 13 points.

Brown had 13 points, three steals and three rebounds.

Tjaden scored 10 points, grabbed three boards and had three steals. Wilson collected seven rebounds.

North Mahaska led 10-9 after one quarter. The Warhawks went up by five at halftime before pulling away in the third.

Colfax-Mingo outscored its hosts 21-13 in the final quarter to cut the final margin to single digits.

North Mahaska plays at No. 7 Pella Christian at 7 p.m.

Tuesday.

No. 13 Buckeyes take down Iowa women

​Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Colton Lourens, right, pinned Ogden Trent Ganoe in the third-place match at 220 pounds at the Class 1A District 5 tournament in Pleasantville on Saturday. Lourens went 1-2 on the day and capped his season a 37-7.

C-M’s Lourens, Barnes fall short at districts

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PLEASANTVILLE — There were just two wrestlers at his 220-pound weight class who Colfax-Mingo junior Colton Lourens could not defeat this season.

Unfortunately for Lourens, those two wrestlers were both standing firmly in his way of a state tournament berth during the Class 1A District 5 tournament at Pleasantville High School.

Lourens opened the tournament with an 11-1 loss to fifthranked Chaz Clark of Pleasantville. He bounced back in the third-place match when he defeated Ogden’s Trent Ganoe by fall for the second time in two weeks.

When Clark defeated Sigourney-Keota’s Noah Boender in the championship match, Lourens was given a wrestleback against fourth-ranked Boender.

Unfortunately for Lourens, Boender was not to be denied a state berth as he handed the Tigerhawk junior a loss by fall late in the first period.

Colfax-Mingo freshman Zack Barnes also wrestled for a state berth Saturday at 106 pounds but went 0-2 and finished fourth.

“I am proud of both of them,” Colfax-Mingo coach Erin Hume said. “It would have been nice to have had a state qualifier, but they wrestled hard and gave it there all.”

Lourens ended his season 377. All of those losses came to wrestlers who have at one time qualified for the state tournament, including three to Boender and two to Clark.

His other two losses came against Moravia’s Quentin Cas-

PCM

Continued from Page 1B (32-2) and Trausch (43-5) were nearly identical to their sectional championships.

Fifth-ranked Roland defeated Albia’s Kyle Sinnott (24-10) by a 15-0 technical fall in his 160-pound semifinal match.

In the finals, Roland was handed an injury forfeit win by Saydel’s Chance Rice.

Rice did the same thing at sectionals but advanced. Saturday, Rice had to wrestleback for his shot at state and lost to Sinnott by fall.

Trausch also met a familiar opponent in his championship bout at 170 pounds. Before that, Trausch defeated Centerville’s Stephen Wardlow 14-6.

In the championship match, Saydel’s Devon Van Houten (398) was once again standing in Trausch’s way of another title.

The two had met three times this season prior to Saturday.

Like the other three, Trausch

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo freshman Zack Barnes, top, went 0-2 Saturday and finished fourth at 106 pounds at the district meet in Pleasantville. Barnes’ season ends at 32-13, which was a school record for wins in a season by a freshman.

tell and Montezuma’s Hunter Foubert. Castell qualified for the state tournament Saturday at 195 pounds. Lourens went 2-1 against Foubert this season.

Foubert was a state qualifier last season.

“The two guys in his bracket will probably go on to place at the state tournament,” Hume said. “He’s only a junior so he can come back next and improve on what he did this year.”

Barnes lost his 106-pound semifinal, 17-0, to Sigourney-Keota’s Mason Dye. He then was defeated 13-2 to Moravia’s Will Martin in the third-place match.

Barnes ends his season 32-13.

The 32 wins are the most by a freshman at Colfax-Mingo.

“For not wrestling much at all prior to this year, I am proud of what Zack did this year,” Hume said.

“We have had one four-year

district qualifier so this sets him up for another record in the next few years.”

Hume finishes up his second season as Tigerhawk head coach. In his second season, Colfax-Mingo set a school record with 23 dual wins.

“We had a strong start and middle of the season. I wish we would have finished a little stronger, but I am proud of the team,” Hume said. “They got better over time and we just have to build on this year and use it as momentum.

“We lose some numbers. We have to do something in the offseason though, whether that’s lifting weights or wrestling more.

We just have to do something to find a way to get better.”

was victorious.

This time, Trausch jumped out to a 5-0 lead and won by a 12-5 decision.

Freshman Payton Drake fell one match shy of his first state tournament berth.

Drake (39-8) won his 106-pound semifinal match 6-0 over Albia’s Michael Thomas.

In the semifinals, Drake was ousted by sixth-ranked Brock Beck of Grinnell, 4-2, in overtime.

Drake upset Beck, 2-0, to win the sectional title, but was forced to a wrestleback Saturday. Needing one more win to advance to state, Drake was eliminated by Winterset’s Bryce Hatten by fall in the third period.

The fifth district qualifier for PCM was junior Chase Shirk, who took second at 138 pounds at sectionals. He went 0-2 on the day Saturday and ended his season at 23-21.

Shirk lost his semifinal 4-0 to Winterset’s Blake Ryerson and then was eliminated in the third-place match, 6-4, by Albia’s

Dominick Morris.

PCM finished fourth as a team in the district standings. The Mustangs scored 63 points.

South Tama County crowned three champions, had six state qualifiers and won the team title with 102 points. Saydel also had three champions and one runner-up, and the Eagles tied Winterset for second with 77 points.

All four of Winterset’s qualifiers finished second Saturday.

The Class 2A portion of the state wrestling tournament kicks off at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Third-ranked Miller begins his run at 145-pound title against No. 7 Tate Battani (31-10) of Ballard.

Fifth-ranked Roland faces seventh-ranked Kolton Bartow (27-10) of Dubuque Wahlert at 160, and Trausch meets Solon’s Mike Hoyle (37-16) at 170.

Hoyle defeated Trausch 11-6 on Dec. 22.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Kelsey Mitchell and Shayla Cooper scored 20 points each and No. 13 Ohio State beat Iowa 88-81 on Sunday to extend the Buckeyes’ winning streak to eight.

Cooper added five assists and a teamhigh eight rebounds in the absence of leading rebounder and second-leading scorer Stephanie Mavunga, who injured her right foot in practice on Thursday and is out indefinitely.

Sierra Calhoun added five 3-pointers and 19 points and Kiara Lewis 11 points for Ohio State (22-5, 12-1 Big Ten).

Ally Disterhoft scored

22 points, Megan Gustafson had 17 points and 10 rebounds for her 13th double-double this season, Makenzie Meyer scored 16 and Kathleen Doyle had 11 points and six assists for Iowa (1510, 6-6).

With the game tied with 3½ minutes to go, Mitchell scored six points and Lewis four in a 12-2 run for an 84-74 lead.

Two free throws each for Mitchell and Cooper were enough to counter the Hawkeyes in the final minute.

The victory ensured the Buckeyes of a topfour seed and a double-bye for the conference tournament.

Wesemann, Page lead No. 25 K-State women past Iowa State MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kindred Wesemann scored 17 points and Lanie Page 16 and No. 25 Kansas State pulled away for an 80-68 win over Iowa State on Saturday.

Both players went 6 of 9 from the field and hit three 3-pointers.

Kayla Middlebrook and Eternati Willock added 11 points apiece for the Wildcats (18-7, 8-5 Big 12).

Emily Durr, who had a career-high six 3-pointers and 20 points for the Cyclones (1311, 4-9), had three early treys before Kayla Goth gave K-State a 17-16 lead after one quarter on

a 3 with five seconds left.

Page hit two long-range shots in the final minute of the first half to put the Wildcats up 40-37.

After Iowa State tied the game at 42, an 11-2 run that give the Wildcats a 58-49 lead.

Iowa State closed within 72-68 with three minutes to play as Durr and Seanna Johnson had back-to-back 3s but the Cyclones didn’t score again.

Bridget Carleton had eight points, 11 rebounds and ran her free-throw streak to 44 straight, which is in the top 18 of NCAA history. She last missed a free throw on Dec. 29.

Cyclones Continued from Page 2B to 68-48 with just more than six minutes to go.

Thomas scored 13 points and Monte Morris had 13 with nine assists and six rebounds for Iowa State, which went 12 of 26 from 3-point range.

Freshman Kameron McGusty led the Sooners (816, 2-10) with 13 points.

Oklahoma star Jordan Woodard left the game with an apparent right knee injury with 6:58 and didn’t return. He finished with nine points.

Big Picture Iowa State: The Cyclones were up and down — but they’ve been that way all season. Still, Iowa State bounced back from a sloppy loss at Texas with a strong start and a decisive spurt when Oklahoma threatened to make a game of it. The Cyclones haven’t left themselves much room for another bad loss on their resume, but Oklahoma was the worst team left on their schedule.

Oklahoma: The Sooners ensured that they’ll finished Big 12 play with a losing record just a year removed from the Final Four. Oklahoma’s youngsters showed some fight in a hostile gym though, which it’ll have to hope pays off in future trips to Ames.

Hawkeyes Continued from Page 2B lead in part because Langford was making shots and Bridges racing back on defense to block a shot after one of his team’s season-high-matching 21 turnovers.

Tyler Cook and Peter Jok scored 13 points apiece for the Hawkeyes and reserve Cordell Pemsl added 10 points.

Big Picture Iowa: The Hawkeyes have played in three straight NCAA tournaments, for the first time since the early 1990s, and it will be very difficult for them to make it four straight for the first time since they were in five consecutive from 1985 to 1989.

“We’ve got to work a little harder and challenge ourselves more,” McCaffery said.

Michigan State: Langford didn’t take a shot, grab a rebound or make an assist Tuesday night in an 8657 loss to the Wolverines. He responded very well, giving the Spartans a scoring option they need to go along with Bridges and Ward.

“I was more aggressive,” said Langford, who entered the game averaging just 5.8 points. “My coaches and teammates kept talking about that. I can’t pass up the shots that I’ve passed.”

Present were, Lee Zmolek, Bret Doerring and L.D. Palmer.

Absent: Maureen Lockwood.

Also present was Field Service Director Marty Hoffert.

Acting Chair Bret Doerring called the meeting to order at 12:01 PM. The Board approved the October Board Minutes by consent.

Lee Zmolek moved to approve the October Financials as presented.

Bret Doerring seconded the motion.

Motion Approved The manager presented a proposal to adjust the Tap fees.

Because the cost of material has nearly gone up 40% since 2011, the tap fees should be adjusted as presented.

Lee Zmolek moved to approve the new tap fees as presented effective January 1, 2017.

Bret Doerring seconded the motion.

Motion Approved.

Marty Hoffert presented the Water Treatment and Distribution report. The static well water level for August is 26.9'. Well water levels are still good for this time of year in November. The crew flushed fire hydrants in the middle of October and that is perhaps why unaccounted water was at 19%.

Fox Eng. is preparing data for SRF application. We will need to hire a Municipal Financial Advisor as part of the process. State will reimburse us up to $4,000.

Application will be submitted in January, 2017.

Preliminary design and financial information will be part of pre application.

The manager updated the Board on Economic development projects.

The next meeting will be held on Friday, December 16th, 2016 in the City Council chambers.

Astrograph

Each person learns different things at different rates and different times. As the lunar influence shifts from capable, hardworking Virgo to balanced, partner-oriented Libra, it’s a time to be a little more patient with one another and find a way to harmonize our abilities. We are all in the same boat, with important learning and growing to do.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 13). Among your more obvious and easily understood gifts are a few talents that are harder to define, but they are nonetheless real; this isn’t something to doubt, only to explore. What you can give is sorely needed in this world. This year, as

your interests broaden, your good luck will double. Taurus and Libra will give your heart wings. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 33, 29 and 50.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Energy management is just as crucial to production as time management. Be careful not to put too much into draining emotional tones, such as worry, resentment and frustration.

Practice the fine art of “dropping it.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You approach a challenge with the humility of a student, devoted to duplicating what seems to work for others, observing patterns, honing your

senses and sharpening your skills. This is why you’ll be successful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The truth has a certain feel to it today -- liberation laced in laughter. You’ll bond with the honest one who can make you laugh or who laughs along with you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your goals will be forwarded in increments. Once a week is good, but once a day is better.

How can you incorporate your interests into more of a daily pattern?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today you’ll notice that there’s something about the other person that makes you feel so much more comfortable in yourself.

This person will invest his or

her curiosity, admiration and charm in you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Thinking in the classic terms of “success” is a sure way to limit your joy today. Get out there and start making some mischief or mistakes to prevent things from getting dreadfully boring or, worse, gloomy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re in a position to choose whom you want to work with and spend time around. The most responsible person will be the least defensive. The joyful people don’t just say positive things; they smile with their eyes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Overblown expectations will be the norm today for most people. Because the bad won’t

be so bad and neither will the good be so good, anyone who refuses to anticipate or assume will most likely be quite satisfied with the outcome.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are some who seek seriousness to feed a craving to feel that life is profound and tragically beautiful. You won’t be able to relate today, as your need is for play, intellectual challenge and levity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In your quest for something real, you’ve been given a lot of reasons, excuses, sales pitches, theories and diversions. You’ll know the truth today by the way it rings in your ears. Pounce on it. Live by it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Helen Keller, stricken deaf and blind from illness in infancy, insisted that even darkness and silence have their wonders.

The far less extreme inconveniences of the day have hidden gems inside them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

As much as you hope to strike upon a golden moment and seize the opportunity in it, the fact of the matter is that every moment is golden when you’re willing to see it that way.

Cardinal wrestling season ends at 3A districts

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WAUKEE — When every thing was said and done, three of Newton High’s 11 wrestlers at Saturday’s Class 3A District 7 tournament had their fate in their own hands. They were in positions to earn a state tournament berth at the end of the day.

Newton’s Cardinals had six wrestlers end up in thirdplace matches. They had to win those matches and depend on the wrestlers who beat them in the semifinals to win a district title. If those two things happened, the Cardinal wrestlers would be pulled into a second-place match.

It happened in three weight classes — 195, 220, 285 — giving Newton’s sophomore Jaise Gulling, freshman Gage Linahon and senior Alex Miller opportunities for state berths.

Bowling Continued from Page 1B Before the bowling action began, the 2017 all-conference honors were announced.

Newton’s sophomore Alicia Miller and junior Shaiden Simmons were named to the all-LHC first team. Taking second-team honors were seniors Reid Miller, Sam Supino and Lizzy Coyle. Earning honorable mention honors were juniors Alyssa White and Kaytie Hughes and sophomore Taylor Johnson.

Reid Miller said he was disappointed in his own performance on the day, bowling a 255 on games of 112 and 143.

Miller, who along with Simmons has been on the boys’ varsity team all three years, did not bowl in the Baker Games round for the Cardinals.

“It feels good to be conference champions again, even though I didn’t play a big role in it. It’s a team sport so I’m glad my teammates had good days today so we could win the title again,” Reid Miller said.

This was the second championship team for junior Reece Thurmond and Supino.

Simmons led the Newton boys with a 393, rolling a 203 in his first game and a 190 in the second. Thurmond finished with a 377 after throwing a team-best 205 in the first game and a 172 in the second.

Junior Austin Johansen had a 363 (166-197) and freshman Alex Frymoyer put up a 354 (168-186). Supino shot a 343 on games of 186 and 157.

Only one bowler for the Cardinal girls has been on all three conference championship teams — White. White had a 300 Saturday on games of 165 and 135. Coyle is the lone senior on the girls’ team and on her second straight title team.

“It feels amazing,” Coyle said. “It’s kind of sad that I’m not going to be here next year.

Today, I was hitting my marks today, but I was having trouble picking up my spares. As a team, we picked up each other along the way.”

Coyle said the girls struggled hitting the head pin during their individual games.

She said the Cardinals did a lot better in the Baker Games, putting up scores of 122, 160, 138, 133 and 198.
