Supervisors delay decision on county newspapers

By Ty Rushing Daily News Staff Writer The Jasper County Board of Supervisors kicked 2014 off with an organizational meeting on Thursday morning to establish certain board and county protocols.

During this meeting, the board voted that Joe Brock serve as the chair for 2014 and Dennis Stevenson become the vice-chair. In 2013, Brock served as vice-chair and Stevenson was chair.

The board also decided not to rearrange the additional committees and boards they serve on as county representatives.

The board also voted to continue holding board meetings on the first four Tuesdays of the month.

In what was a fairly short meeting, the most extensive conversation took place when it was time for the board

to designate the three official newspapers for the county. The Newton Daily News, Jasper County Tribune, Prairie City News and Sully Hometown Press all requested the designation.

With four applicants and only three available designations, the board voted to delay the decision and board member Dennis Carpenter explained what the newspapers would need to provide to aid in the board’s decision.

“Each newspaper needs to provide a list of subscribers, both by mail and by delivery, who have been subscribers for not less than six consecutive months and have been subscribers since July 1, 2013,” he said. “Further action will be taken on Jan. 14, 2014, at the next supervisors meeting.”

A Newton man charged with first-degree murder and child endangerment resulting in death in connection with the death of his 5-month-old son will be in Jasper County District Court on Monday in preparation for trial currently scheduled to begin later this month.

Joseph Edward Olea, 25, has been held without bond since his arrest in July of 2012 while awaiting trial. The case has since been continued six times, most recently at the request of the Jasper County Attorney’s Office due to the availability of an expert witness.

Olea is alleged to have “intentionally used unreasonable force” against his son, Kaiden, on Jan. 10, 2012. Kaiden, who was born July 15, 2011, died Jan. 15, 2012, at Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines. Following a seven-month investigation, it was determined by the Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office that Kaiden died as the result of blunt-force injuries to his head and neck.

The year was 1955, the cease-fire in Korea was on, but tensions were still running high. Larry Schmidt wanted nothing more than to marry his sweetheart, Janice Shore, but they were both worried about what would happen with the potential of a draft.

Larry decided that the best thing to do for his future family would be to get his two years of obligation out of the way so that he could hurry home and marry Janice with no threats looming over their heads.

Following in the footsteps of three brothers,

two of whom served in World War II and one who served in the Korean War, he went to Newton to sign his enlistment papers.

Soon enough, he found himself in a hotel room waiting for the bus ride the next morning that would deliver him

to Camp Chaffee in Arizona.

Once there, Larry excelled in his basic training program and was selected to train at the camp for an additional eight weeks so he could serve in the artillery. He was trained with a 10man crew to work with a 105 mm Howitzer artillery piece.

“I was on the panoramic scope, which could only traverse 12 degrees in each direction … If you shifted a degree or two, you could shoot over miles away from the first spot which gave us a good range,” Larry said.

Consider wetlands

By Dr. Jacqueline Comito Program Manager, Iowa Learning Farms Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of op-ed articles to be published on a weekly basis in the Newton Daily News.

When discussing agricultural conservation practices, it is easy to think of conservation and economics as mutually exclusive. People often assume that a certain practice or strategy can be either environmentally friendly or economically beneficial, but not both.

This is simply not the case. There are many situations where conservation methods not only protect our natural resources but also provide economic benefits. One example is wetlands.

A century ago, numerous wetlands were woven into Iowa’s prairie landscape. To enable agricultural production, drainage systems were put in place to make wetland areas suitable for growing crops. Approximately 90 percent of Iowa’s native wetlands were drained for agriculture and development.

As researchers, landowners, and policymakers have learned over the last few decades, wetlands provide a wide array of benefits to Iowans: improved water quality, increased habitat for wildlife, erosion control, sediment retention, carbon sequestration, increased crop yields and some flood mitigation.

The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy includes wetlands as an important tool available to Iowa producers to control nitrogen levels in Iowa waters. Wetlands act as nature’s treatment facility through processing nitrogen and trapping other pollutants and preventing them from continuing to flow through the watershed.

When located and constructed properly, wetlands can reduce nitrogen transport by 40 to 70 percent.

This is important not only for maintaining the health of Iowa waterways, but also for reducing nutrient loads in the Mississippi River that ultimately cause the Gulf of Mexico dead zone.

In addition to water quality benefits, wetlands also provide essential habitat for a number of beneficial species, including amphibians, mammals, fish, and birds. In fact, sportsmen were some of the earliest advocates of Iowa wetland restoration because of the need for suitable waterfowl habitat to maintain healthy duck populations.

Producers have not always been keen to take agricultural land out of production to create wetlands. This position is understandable given recent prices for both agricultural land and grain. However, there are economic benefits to consider beyond grain and land prices.

First, wetlands can actually produce an economic benefit for landowners. For instance, instead of watching crops drown on land that typically remains saturated during the growing season or is prone to flooding, a grower can install a wetland. In addition to the benefits of clean water, wildlife habitat, and some flood mitigation, the grower can also achieve a higher average yield with a lower input.

Second, wetlands provide services that result in positive economic outcomes both for landowners and the local community. Wetlands provide free water treatment services. The cost for providing the same water treatment services through water treatment plants is considerable.

There are many programs available through agencies such as the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship to help defray the costs of installing wetlands. Despite hesitations producers may have about wetlands, they will turn out to be quite a bargain toward the longterm economic success and ecological health of the land.

When given a choice between marginally productive farmland that requires significant input with little return and wetlands, wetlands are the obvious choice. It really is a win-win for the environment, agriculture and all Iowans.

Common Sense

It feels really darn cold Last year, I got through the winter season wearing my heavy winter coat just five times. We’re barely into January, and I’ve already worn it eight times this year. Two years ago, I went the entire winter without wearing a coat at all.

But, believe it or not, By Bob Eschliman Daily News Editor the National Weather Service says the temperature Monday will be nearly 30 degrees warmer now than it would have been two years ago.

Two years ago, the NWS implemented a “new” wind chill factor calculation that it said was more accurate. As a result, the temperature this morning, minus-5 F, now “feels like” minus-15 F, instead of minus-10 F. Wind Chill is not the actual temperature, but rather how wind and cold feel on exposed skin. As the wind increases, heat is carried away from the body at an accelerated rate, driving down the body temperature.

Seniors and infants are most susceptible to wind chill; animals are also affected.

Monday, when we’re supposed to see the worst of this latest cold blast, the wind chill will be nearly minus-40 F. Under the old index system, it would have been closer to minus-70 F. Frankly, I think my body stops telling the difference at zero. And, either way, exposed skin will freeze — that’s frostbite — if exposed for 15 minutes (or less). Monday, frostbite will set in if skin is exposed for 10 minutes.

Frostbite is damage to body tissue caused by extreme cold. It causes a loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in extremities, such as fingers, toes, ear lobes or the tip of the nose.

If you detect frostbite symptoms, get medical help immediately. If you must wait for help, slowly rewarm the affected areas — emphasis on slowly — but, if the person is also showing signs of hypothermia, warm his or her body core before the extremities.

Hypothermia is a condition brought on when the body temperature drops to less than 95 F, which can be deadly. For those who do survive, there will likely be lasting

••• Hilton Magic

Iowa lost a good friend this week with the passing of Johnny Orr. I grew up going to Cyclone basketball games and loved his dramatic entrance with the old “Tonight Show” theme song blaring when he would walk into the Hilton Colisseum arena.

I loved the old “Thank you for your support” promotions he would do with Jim Walden. And I loved the way he would rip into officials and opposing coaches who caught his ire, without fear.

Like most Cyclone fans, I was sad to see him retire. I think he still had a lot of good coaching years left in

kidney, liver and pancreatic problems.

Warning signs of hypothermia include: uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness and apparent exhaustion. If you observe these symptoms, take the person’s temperature. If it’s less than 95 F, seek medical care immediately.

Again, if medical care isn’t immediately available, you must begin warming the victim’s body core, slowly, first. Warming the arms and legs first drives cold blood toward the heart and can lead to heart failure.

If necessary, use your own body heat to help. Get the victim into dry clothing and wrap in a warm blanket, covering the head and neck.

Do not give alcohol, drugs, coffee or any hot beverage or food. Warm broth is the first food to offer.

It hasn’t been this cold (actual air temperature) since Jan. 2, 2010.

But, it’s been colder than that. In 1996, the air temperature reached minus-20 F, and the record, set in the 1880s, was around minus-30 F. Those are the record lows. What about the record-lowest high temperature? Well, they kind of stick out like sore thumbs in the NWS recordbook, because there have only been three days since 1996 where the high temperature for the day has been on the negative size of zero.

The coldest high temperature for any given day was recorded at minus-14 F on Jan. 12, 1912. The National Weather Service expects this incoming air mass to be the coldest we’ve seen since February of 1996.

Again, my body will simply register it as “darn cold.”

him, and those who came through the system would have been better for it. But, I can think of no one better to revive and carry on Johnny’s legacy in Ames than the man calling the shots today.

I played in one game against The Mayor — I think he was just The Principal back then — when I was in high school. As one might expect, he completely schooled me on the court.

In utter amazement, after he had stripped me of the ball in mid-shot (cleanly) and took the ball down to the other end for an easy layup, I just simply said, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” The ref thought I was talking to him, and gave me a technical foul.

But, even after Johnny retired from coaching, he didn’t fade away.

I met him again my first year as a sportswriter in 2000 at a Coaches Vs. Cancer golf event he was cohosting with Dr. Tom Davis.

I was in a group that golfed with Johnny, so I got about four hours’ worth of his stories. Man, were they great.

A few years later, to chronicle the anniversary of tiny little Dinsdale’s 1952 state basketball tournament consolation championship, I got to talk with Johnny again. This time, we talked about his Dubuque Senior squad, which lost to Iowa’s own version of “Hickory, Indiana,” in the first round of the tournament.

I found it amazing he still remembered the names of the guys on the court. Not just his, but the “Dinsdale Five,” as well.

A few years ago, during the “Dark Days” of college basketball in Iowa, a colleague of mine lamented the “loss of Hilton Magic” when Johnny retired. I quickly corrected him. The magic didn’t leave with Johnny. Johnny was Hilton Magic.

I think Fred Hoiberg asking Johnny to come out of the tunnel with him before the Michigan game ( Johnny coached the Wolverines before ISU, and is still the winningest coach at both schools) was fantastic. I didn’t know Johnny was in poor health, or this would be the last time he would greet the fans at Hilton with his signature fist-pump.

But I do know the Magic will live forever.

Police found Kaiden had suffered serious injury, and he was transported to Skiff Medical Center. From there, he was airlifted to Blank Children’s Hospital.

Miller was charged because she left Kaiden in the sole care of Olea from about 6 a.m. until the time the child was taken to the hospital. Olea was charged because Kaiden’s injuries were alleged to have happened under his care.

It is further alleged Miller had knowledge of Olea’s “violent tendencies” but allowed him to be Kaiden’s sole care-

The child’s mother, Chelsea Jo Miller, was charged with child endangerment resulting in death. She is next scheduled to appear in Jasper County District Court on Monday, Feb. 3, for a pretrial hearing ahead of her own trial date.

Miller and Olea lived together in an apartment in the 200 block of East 28th Street North in Newton at the time of the incident leading to Kaiden’s death. The Newton Police Department was called to

giver. Online court records show Olea was sentenced to juvenile detention in August of 2003 for a drug violation and was sentenced to the Eldora State Training School for Boys in November of 2004 for second-degree theft and drug violation convictions.

In setting the trial date at the last continuance in October, Jasper County District Court Judge Terry Rickers noted he was “troubled” by the length of time it had taken to get to trial. It is unlikely another continuance will be granted.

Trial in the case is currently scheduled to begin Tuesday, Jan. 21.

The 12-Week Synopsis

Continued from Page 1A

Regina Sarmento will lead a Choices program beginning Jan. 14 at the Newton YMCA to help local residents keep their New Year’s Resolutions. Highlights include: • Neuroscience of change in the brain.

• Learn the basic cycle of getting needs are met and how that impacts efforts toward change.

• PATTERNS — Learn the PATTERNS acronym and the areas that must be present before beginning to change.

• Principle #1 — Beliefs Drive Behaviors: Behind every behavior are underlying beliefs.

• Principle #2 — Vision vs. Goals: Learn the difference between setting a goal and having a vision.

• Principle #3 — Choices & Consequences: Learn how small choices add up and impact our major goals.

• Principle #4 — Beyond Willingness: Learn how to challenge the areas where a lack of willpower holds you back.

• Principle #5 — The Value of Values: Learn how internal values compete with each other.

• Principle #6 — Reflections in Character: Learn how values come alive and are who you are known to be.

• Principle #7 — Relationships and Our Choices: Learn how every decision we make impacts relationships around us.

• Principle #8 — Identity Discovered: Learn how your choices are impacted by the difference between who you are and who you believe you are.

“Our unique series B-ABL series introduces universal, timeless and biblical principles of exploring why we do the very thing we don’t want to do and learn how to change that pattern,” Sarmento said. “You’ll find out how the brain is your own worst enemy and what you can do to rewrite it for success.”

Sarmento said 45 percent of the United States population make a list of resolutions. Of the 45 percent who make resolutions, 8 percent are successful, and 80 percent have failed by March.

“The format of the class going 12 weeks will get everyone to March, which well increases the odds of being successful,” Sarmento said.

The classes are free to everyone and will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. each Tuesday starting Jan. 14 at the YMCA. The class will have a potluck dinner each week starting at 5:30 p.m., with classes going from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The YMCA will offer free childcare for families.

DMACC Continuing Education Coordinator Darin Stevenson said expectations for these students are extremely high.

“Perfect attendance, a silver level on the National Career Readiness Certificate, passing the AWS GMAW 1G welding qualification, and a variety of lab and classroom performance exams are required,” he said.

Graduates said the training and job placement has given them a new found career path. Dani Kesteloot, a mother of two school-age children, called the DMACC experience “100-percent positive.”

“I wanted to make a career change and provide a better life for my children,” she said. “Being trained as a welder means I have a skill that is in-demand and job security.”

Schmidt Continued from Page 1A After concluding his artillery training, the Baxter man who had never been much farther away from home than the Missouri border soon found himself on a ship carrying him to a conflict thousands of miles away.

Upon touching ground in Korea, Larry was moved around briefly before being stationed in Camp Santa Barbara, only a few miles away from the Demilitarized Zone.

“We would rotate up to the edge of the DMZ for a few months … You could look through the lens, and see them just a few miles away looking right back,” Larry said.

After a while, Larry was transferred into a Provost Platoon, serving as military police personnel, and then he was again transferred to work on the supply chain for petroleum, oil and other vehicle necessities.

After a thankfully uneventful two-year tour, Larry rotated back to the states in March of 1957.

He didn’t waste much time, marrying Janice just three months later in June of ’57 and starting the rest of his life.

He soon found work at Maytag. As Janice said, he was out the door the day after their wedding to stop by the offices and secure himself a job.

Due to the time of his service, Larry is one of the many veterans who isn’t qualified for entry into the American Legion, an oversight which upset him for many years before he decided that he would get involved in every way he could despite it.

“I was angry for a while, and I still am a little.

I didn’t want to go on the Freedom Flight at first, because I felt like they didn’t want me and they didn’t care about my service,” Larry said.

He did, however, attend the Freedom Flight, an experience which he enjoyed. Over the last few years, Larry says he believes there has been a shift in the public’s views toward veterans and that he has seen more acceptance of Korean and Vietnam war veterans.

Greg Christianson, the post commander of the American Legion in Baxter, said the Schmidts are a key part of the Legion’s activities, helping to organize and run soup dinners and other events in the community.

When asked why he is such a help to the organization despite the fact that he can’t be an official member, he answered simply, “Our servicemen are important, and we want to help however we can.”

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

Friday, January 3, 2014

Tight lips can keep tongues from wagging in the office DEAR ABBY: I am a 27-yearold mom who has always been overweight. I have tried all sorts of diets and programs, and have lost a few pounds and then gained it all back and more.

My boss has offered to pay for me to have weight loss surgery. It is something I have always wanted, but could never afford. My boss told me she knows the struggle I have had and the frustration I have experienced.

My family is behind me and supports my decision to have it done.

My concern is that once others in my office learn it was paid for by the boss, I’ll be treated differently. I’m concerned about possible catty comments. They are gossips, and I hate being the center of attention in situations like that. The truth is bound to come out, so how can I comment on the gift I’ve been given? — SO GRATEFUL IN TEXAS DEAR SO GRATEFUL: You have a generous and empathetic boss who obviously cares about you. Unless one of you reveals that she paid for your surgery, “the truth” is NOT bound to come out. How your operation is paid for is nobody’s business.

DEAR ABBY: My father recently told me his girlfriend is pregnant with twins. She is in her 40s and he is in his 50s. She already has two kids who are quite a handful. They both have low-paying jobs and I don’t think they can handle two more children.

My father now is asking me to move in with him to help out. Because of their financial state and their ages, I’m afraid this is a huge risk. If I tell him what my concerns are, I am sure he’ll think I’m heartless and stop talking to me. I don’t know what to do. Dad might not even be around to see those kids graduate from high school. What can I do? — TROUBLED SON IN COLORADO

DEAR TROUBLED SON: Unless you’re willing to give up your freedom I don’t recommend doing what your father is proposing. He should not expect you to assume child care or financial responsibility because his birth control method failed. That privilege rightfully belongs to him and his girlfriend. Tell your father you sympathize with his dilemma, but the answer is no.

DEAR ABBY: I read your column on the nights that I work, and I was wondering if you have had days when you just wanted to tell someone who has written to you to “suck it up and deal with it.” I am generally a nice person and would help the most helpless cases as best I could, but I know that I have days when I have been snarky. I was wondering how you deal with those days. — FEELING SNARKY TONIGHT IN VERMONT DEAR FEELING SNARKY: I write my column from an office away from my home. Because of that, it’s easier to leave distractions (or “problems”) on the other side of the door when I enter. I’m here to help people, not to make anyone feel worse. If for some reason I felt I was unable to do that, I would either go for a long walk or postpone writing for another day.

Blow off the steam Stress eats away at all of us.

Whether it’s your job, relationship, family or anything else that plays an instrumental role in your life, it comes with a certain level of stress.

As people, we adapt and change with

By Dustin Turner what chalDaily News lenges are Sports Writer presented to us. Stress is one of those challenges that is persistent. It never relents, or goes away. It’s an ever-present theme of our existence. So, instead of conquering stress, we learn to deal with it.

It’s little things for most people — playing video games, listening to music, going for a drive — that help relieve stress to a point where we can function as our normal selves. For me, there was a distinct point in my life when the stress was so great, I needed an outlet for my frustrations, which I found in sports.

I was a month into my freshman year of college. I was 1,000 miles away from home and had no idea who I was. A little socially awkward and still trying to figure out where I belonged, I got off to a slow start making tons of friends, but I was still having a good time being on my own in a period of discovery in my life.

Walking back from a psychology class, trying to decipher what the native-German professor was trying to say about parts of the brain, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. It was my mom. She told me that my grandpa, who had played an instrumental role in raising me and without whom I wouldn’t have even had the opportunity to go to the University of Oregon, had collapsed on the tennis court and was in critical condition.

Needless to say this did not help my social anxiety. For about the next week, I didn’t do a lot.

I skipped classes and ate my way into a food coma on more than one occasion. I was watching a movie in a friend’s room when the phone rang again. At age 80, Auldus Turner had passed away.

I collapsed to the floor in tears, unable to comprehend how someone so lively could be taken down so quickly. Another depressing week went by, and I figured I needed some way to vent, to alleviate my stress and clear my head, which is when I found my therapy — a hoop, a ball and me.

In an empty gym, with a basketball in my hands, I found peace and calm. After an hour or two of taking jump shot after jump shot, everything seemed like it would be OK. Thoughts and fears for the future fell by the wayside. I lost myself in the game.

From then on, that was my church. Religious people always talk about this feeling of enlightenment they get after walking out of a service. I never had that when I was going to church as a child, but I get that feeling every single time I step on a basketball court.

Had my grandpa never passed away, I’m not sure I would have found that outlet. While I miss him to death, it’s comforting to know he had one last lesson for me.

Johnny Orr dies DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Johnny Orr, the fist-pumping basketball coach who led Michigan to the national title game and Iowa State into national prominence, has died. He was 86.

His death was confirmed Tuesday by Iowa State, where Orr led the Cyclones to a school-record 218 wins from 1980 until 1994.

Orr spent 29 seasons as a Division I coach. Orr finished with a career record of 466-346 and 10 NCAA tournament appearances.

Samson’s run at Central a strong one

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Writer BAXTER — Home for the holidays, Danny Samson was able to take a breath from a whirlwind postseason football ride. Samson of Baxter was winding up his senior season as defensive end for Central College’s Dutch.

“Yes, it’s been busy. What a great experience for me,” Samson said the week after playing in the Tazon de Estrellas — Bowl of the Stars — Saturday, Dec. 21, in Monterrey, Mexico.

Samson and three other Central College senior players were on Team Stars and Stripes coached by Central’s defensive coordinator Don De Waard.

The U.S. team won 29-7 over a squad of Mexico college all-stars.

“Being selected for the all-star game was a great honor for me. It was a great game and to have three of my teammates and our coach there was tremendous,” Samson said.

Samson learned while in Mexico that he was named a first-team D3football.com All-American. It was another honor coming to the former CollinsMaxwell/Baxter Raider. He was the Iowa Conference football defensive MVP, D3football.com All-West Region first-team defense honoree.

“This year everything fell together for us defensively. We had a lot of guys back from last year. Together we had a better feel of what we needed to do — our individual jobs on defense. Having great people around you, allows you to do your job better,” Samson said.

Samson (5-11, 255) became Central’s 32nd football All-America honoree and the first Dutch player cited since 2010.

Samson led the Iowa Conference’s top defense with 11.5 sacks and 21.5 tackles for loss, both tops in the conference. He also tied for second in fumbles recovered with two and recorded three of Central’s 11 blocked kicks—the second-most blocks by a Division III team.

Samson was twice named to the D3football.com team of the week and tabbed conference defensive player of the week. Central finished 4-3 in Iowa Conference play and 6-4 overall in 2013.

“The challenge of the game is what drew me to football. Every play is a challenge because you don’t know what’s going to happen,” Samson said.

“I’ve had really good times playing with guys in high school and college.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Danny Samson finished up three years of football at Central College in Pella by playing in an all-star game in December. Samson, a senior defensive end from Baxter, earned first-team D3football.com All-America honors.

After graduating from Baxter High School in 2009, Samson went to Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., to play football. Samson said he transferred to Central after one year.

“I wasn’t enjoying it at Truman State. Coming out of high school, it’s a tough decision to make about where to go to play. I didn’t get it right the first time, but coming back and going to Central was the right decision for me,” Samson said.

Samson starred on the CMB Raider team as a quarterback on offense and a linebacker defensively. Going to Central, he said he was a linebacker but moved to defensive end.

“The switch gave me an opportunity to get on the field quicker. I adjusted and learned the defensive end position.

There is a difference from high school to college level football. There’s more in-depth film study and game-day information you have to know,” Samson said.

“I was surprised how small our play package was on defense. You watch a game on television and you see all these cards and motions from the sidelines and you think ‘wow, that’s a lot to remember.’ Really, we only had about six or seven plays on defense at Central.”

Central College photo At left, Danny Samson (15) led the Central College defense with 11.5 quarterback sacks in 2013. The Dutch defense led the Iowa Conference. Samson had 21.5 tackels for loss, which also led the conference as did his quarterback sack total.

Samson was named a finalist for the 2013 Cliff Harris Award, presented annually to the top small college (NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA) defensive football player in the country. The recipient of the award was named in late December.

“I didn’t win it, but to be named a finalist is really an honor. There’s probably close to 600 schools among those three divisions and I was one of 49 finalists. I’m proud of that fact. All the honors I received reflect back on our entire defensive team. I was able to excel because I had a great group of players playing with me,” Samson said.

Samson’s run at Central had the Dutch going 18-12 overall. He was a first-team all-conference defensive end as a junior and senior.

“What I remember the most, especially about this season, is celebrating with my teammates on defense. We had a great year together. We’re a tight group of guys and it fell together for us this season,” Samson said. “Football has been a lot of fun. I love the competition of it, plus the bond I’ve made with a lot of great guys.”

Samson, who is a biology major at Central, plans to return to the family farm near Baxter. He said he grew up in a farming family. His parents are Brian and Sherry Samson.

“Right now, I want to come back and farm. If something in football pops up for me, I’ll consider it,” he said with a smile. “If a (NFL) team calls and wants me to tryout for it, I’d do it. I’ve had a great run in college football.”

Raider teams net non-conference victories

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor BAXTER — Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s basketball teams got off to a good start in 2014. The Raider girls and boys swept a non-conference doubleheader Thursday night at home against Ankeny Christian Academy.

The CMB girls recorded their second straight win, a 60-50 victory, to improve to 2-8 overall. CMB’s boys extended their win streak to six (6-2) with a 72-59 win over Ankeny Christian.

CMB’s teams travel to Jewell tonight to play South Hamilton.

A huge run in the final eight minutes put the CMB girls in the win column for the second time this season.

The Raiders led 28-25 at halftime, but found themselves down by one, 38-37, after three quarters of play.

The CMB girls doubled up on the Eagles in the fourth quarter, outscoring their visitors 24-12. Leading the way were senior Abbie Haupert and junior Lexi Breon. Haupert poured in 27 points to get closer to the 1,000-point career mark. Haupert is at 977. Breon

fired in 17 points.

“We played a complete game trailing only a few times. Abbie and Lexi both had huge ball games, which propelled our underclassmen to step up their game,” said Jamie Zabel, CMB girls’ head coach. “At the end, I was impressed with our composure and ability to make key free throws to ice the game late.”

Zabel said freshman Sydney Ziesman gave the Raiders a boost off the bench in the late run. He said the girls have improved their free throw shooting, and it has led to 10-to-12 points more per game for the Raiders.

Madison Laib scored 21 points for the Eagle girls. Lizzie Deo added 11 and Alli Howard had 10 points.

The Raider boys have played it close to the vest most of the season with a knack of pulling out wins down the stretch. They trailed the Eagles 18-16 after one quarter then moved to the lead by halftime.

Bryce Kemp’s two free throws with 10 seconds remaining in the first half put the Raiders up 35-33. The third quarter was much of the same as the teams traded points. A 3-pointer by

Tommy Galloway at the 5:48 mark put the Raiders up for good, 42-38.

CMB led 54-45 at the end of three periods. The Raiders stretched it to 60-47 in the opening two minutes of the fourth quarter.

Kemp and Zach Samson led the Raiders with double-doubles. Kemp poured in 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Samson controlled 13 rebounds and scored 10 points.

Galloway chipped in with 13 points.

Austin Moorman had 11 points.

Moorman and Samson each dished out four assists.

J.J. Waddle paced the Eagles with 14 points. Bradley Fisher had 15 and Chayton Tonemah added 14 points.

Friday, January 3, 2014

Capricorn has an ambitious influence on Mercury, and with Jupiter in Cancer playing tug-of-war from across the sky, status symbols that are not technically in the budget could suddenly have magnetic appeal. During this opposition, loved ones may disagree about what’s necessary and what’s over the top.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 3). You’d rather entertain others than be entertained, and you’ll be honored and employed as you put your talents to the task of making people smile.

Expand your network, and partner on joint ventures this month. February features repairs and a big purchase.

March and October are travel months. Taurus and Cancer people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 3, 11, 28, 30 and 26.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Someone who has wronged you wants to make amends. Is it for you, or is it to ease the other person’s conscience?

Don’t let this be an opening for future interaction if that’s not what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know that when you cherish yourself, others follow suit. This is all well and good in theory, but your many responsibilities sometimes make it hard for you to find the time!

Don’t worry. The balance you seek is not so far away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Loved ones may not be at their best tonight, and you could get the brunt of it. Avoid inner turmoil by wisely separating normal emotions from the needlessly exaggerated ones that come when you’re tired.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you don’t know where to begin with someone, just think about what you really want and start as close to that as you can get. Honesty keeps you from wasting time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re excited about and maybe even obsessed with something that you know won’t last. This shouldn’t make you back

off, though. Instead, commit more fully with all your heart and energy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sometimes when you’re alone you are not sure what to do with yourself. Today’s discovery is an endeavor or a game that is best enjoyed alone so you can go at your own pace.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just as being upset leads to an overabundance of vexing negative thoughts, being extremely happy influences your thinking in a more positive way than the situation may call for. But in the latter case, who cares?

if you’d rather be flying.

But if you want to grow, build or run fast, being grounded is essential.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You may think that what you have to give is not quite enough, but maybe you’re just giving it to the wrong person. To another person, your gift will be more than they dared dream about having.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You look forward to the worry-free moments you can share relaxing with a loved one, but that time won’t come until you’ve handled a big job.

Ask for help to speed up the process.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You may have your suspicions that people are not giving your words the attention they deserve.

Are they really listening, or are they thinking about something else? Put them to the test and find out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today shows you getting into some tricky business. What are you really being promised? The concrete answer is being obscured by delightful but vague feelgood statements.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Your earth-sign qualities are strongly featured.

It’s no fun being grounded

and had one special classmate to thank for helping her connect with locals.

“It was Nelson Mandela’s great-grandson and it was in my political history class,” Emily said. “My professor was speaking one day and he goes, ‘Oh, yeah. If you have any questions over Apartheid just ask (Siyabuela) Mandela back there.’ We were like, ‘Oh, you’re funny.,’ and then after class he introduced himself to the international students.”

Emily said Siyabuela, who goes by Siya for short, was the perfect ambassador for the people of South Africa and really made her and the other international students feel comfortable there.

“When he introduced himself to us, he was like, ‘I want to welcome you guys to South Africa and if you guys ever want to hangout ...’ He was just the nicest person,” Emily said. “He helped us with a lot of things. We had to write a few papers in that class and our final essays were over Apartheid, so we hung out with him a lot.”

Bonding with Siya made Emily want to change the way she interacts with international students she encounters here in America.

“We don’t really think about just going up and introducing ourselves to the international students here,” Emily said.”But now, I definitely want to do that a lot more. Especially after meeting him, he was so welcoming and that’s how we learned more about their culture. Just by getting to know him.”

Siya’s impact on her allowed Emily and her classmates to want to fully immerse themselves into the local culture and inspired them “not to be the typical study aboard students.” While they did the typical things like studying, exploring and have a good time, they went an extra mile to get a true feel for their surroundings.

Emily said they visited a different church every Sunday, they raised funds and volunteered to take 60 underprivileged preschool children on a field trip to a farm, and in her spare time, she worked at a “baby haven.”

“I just think that was an amazing experience for us and for them,” Emily said of the farm trip. “Most of them had never been in a car or outside of their township. It was so much fun. They were just singing and so excited on the bus and we had a ton of volunteers, which was just awesome.”

She admits she and her classmates took some risks while over there, but said thanks to the prayers of their families back home and using “street smarts,” they never had anything go seriously wrong for them.

Although she was gone for more than four months, Emily said she wasn’t quite ready to leave, even as she celebrated her 21st birthday in Port Elizabeth. Now that she’s back in the States, she plans on finishing up her major at Allen College in Waterloo.

It’s hard to sum up a journey that included everything from feeding elephants to finding reasonably priced transportation, but Emily feels she learned a lot, both inside and outside the classroom.

“I’m a lot more grateful for everything I get to do,” she said. “I think the biggest thing I’ll take away is just being thankful for having a job and for being able to go to a good school. The things we usually take for granted and complain about.”

Study abroad trip inspires former NHS student

By Ty Rushing Daily News Staff Writer “They couldn’t compare to ‘Iowa nice,’ I guess you could say,” Emily Montgomery, a Newton native, said of her recent trip to Port Elizabeth, South Africa, which is nicknamed “The Friendly City” She didn’t mean this in a disrespectful way, but rather to showcase how nice she feels people are in Iowa and the rest of the Midwest.

“It was funny. One of the locals I met in the grocery store went, ‘Oh, I bet you are loving it here. I’m sure the people are way nicer than wherever you are from in the U.S.,’” Emily said with a grin. “I was like, ‘Well, I’m from the Midwest, and people are really nice there.”

Emily was in South Africa as a part of the University of Northern Iowa’s study abroad program and chose to go there because she “had always wanted to go to Africa.” She studied at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Universi-

ty, where she earned 12 credits toward her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and had a lot of first time experiences.

“I had never been on a plane before, so I was really scared and I didn’t know anyone going,” Emily said. “But, I was more excited than scared about anything.

The new culture was definitely shocking and we were like, ‘What is going on? when we first got there.’ That was said very often.”

Emily said sometimes miscommunication happened because of the different languages spoken and unique English language slang words locals used.

“When we first got there, they told us our accommodations was two minutes from school, but it was actually two miles from school,” she continued.

“So, it was OK and we were like, ‘This is just something we will have to get used to.’ So, we walked two miles to school every day and it was just another way to socialize and get to know each other better.”

Submitted Photo Emily Montgomery volunteered her time at a “baby haven” while she was studying in South Africa for a semester. Emily is a Newton Senior High School graduate and pursuing a bachelors degree of science in nursing while in college.

Emily may not have known anyone in her program when she arrived, but those long walks helped her form bonds with her classmates who became like a surrogate family for her, she said. While she

could have easily limited her social circle in the four-plus months she was there, she wanted to fully immerse herself in her new surroundings EDUCATION See Page 11A
