Berg Middle School loses student to suicide

newtondailynews.com

After working for more than a year and a half, a major sculpture has been secured for the Newton community.

Centre of Arts and Artists Executive Director and President of the Iowa Sculpture Festival Linda Klepinger announced to the Newton City Council “Healing Touch” has been secured for purchase to be placed in Newton.

“I’m here not to ask for any action but to keep you in the loop in a project that we have been working on for the last year and a half,” Klepinger said. “This is actually the first time that we hope to come to the city for a request that we have never asked since 2003 and that is to help us with some citing of a major sculpture.”

Created by artist Teresa Hansen, “Healing Touch” features a woman holding a child and has been located on the corner of First Street and First Avenue for two seasons. It is a bronze sculpture Klepinger is hoping can be placed near Skiff Medical Center.

The sculpture was secured through the participation of a major benefactor, who chose to remain anonymous, and a major investment from the Iowa Sculpture Festival, the Jane and Murray Nelson Foundation and the artist Hansen.

Community stakeholders continue budget requests for city

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News As the city of Newton looks to begin work on the 20172018 budget, community stakeholders took their turn submitting requests for funding.

Representatives from the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, YMCA, IMPACT, Newton Development Corporation, United Way of Jasper County, Heart of Iowa Regional Transit and Newton Housing Development Corporation explained what the organization does in the community, who they serve and how they hope the city can assist them in their efforts. Newton Main Street also submitted a request from the council.

“We have secured it at her asking price of $39,600, which is our most major piece to be acquired by the sculpture festival,” Klepinger said. “That is a lot of flipping burgers at the Iowa Speedway, a lot of picking corn, we’re not afraid of sweat equity.”

They city’s future participation potentially involves citing the sculpture including work on the footings, pads, sidewalks, plantings and stone. Klepinger said she may return at a later date for those requests.

“After accumulating a public art collection of more than 100 items, we feel that we have identified rural creative place making before anybody claimed it as a national organization,” Klepinger said. “We hope with that you will feel some confidence when we come back and ask for assistance in getting this cited in a prominent spot.”

Since starting in 2003, the Iowa Sculpture Festival has worked with the schools and many community partners to enrich the city through the cooperative efforts including a yearly tour with Jasper County schools, the First Avenue of Sculpture project and frequent bus tours who have traveled from as far as Oklahoma.

Following an attempted suicide last weekend, Berg Middle School eighth-grade student Sean Ryan was pronounced dead Wednesday night.

The school brought in a crisis response team from Iowa Area Education Agencies to support grieving students. There are also seven counselors at Berg to help students in the aftermath of the heartbreaking news.

Teachers announced a message to students Thursday morning, which read in part: “It’s with a sad heart that we need to let you know that one of our students, Sean Ryan, lost his fight for life. Our thoughts are with Sean’s family and friends. Sean’s dad hopes that his memory can live on because of his donation of organs to others.”

Berg Principal Lisa Sharp said there were no reports of bullying that played a role in the student’s death. Sharp said the important thing right now is being there for the 900-plus kids who attend the middle school and lost a classmate.

An Iowa Experience OPEN provides another opportunity for Taiwanese student

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors (OPEN) celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2016. The program is Newton’s branch of Sister Cities International, which works to create and strengthen partnerships between the United States and international communities.

OPEN’s main focus in recent years has been its student program. Newton’s sister cities are Smila, Ukraine and Wu Chi, Taiwan. Each year, a student from either Ukraine or Taiwan spends a year attending Newton High School and engages in the community.

Jane Ann Cotton has been with OPEN since its beginning. She now coordinates the student program. She is the intermediary between Sister Cities International and the student. After seeing about 40 students go through the program over the years, Cotton said the students gain a lot of confidence in themselves and gain perspective.

“They’ve all said, almost without exception, that it was a life-changing experience for them,” Cotton said. “You know, if you’re 15 or 16, and you’re having that experience — it’s pretty eye-opening.”

This year’s student is Yu Tsen Kuo. He picked the nickname “Andy” to make pronunciation easier for his American peers.

Andy is from Taichung, Taiwan. He said many people in his country want to experience American life. They just need a chance. Andy got that chance after filling out an application and qualifying by proving English proficiency.

“It was always my dream, and it came true now,” he said.

Andy had a brief scare on his flight to the United States, when he realized he forgot his J-1 Visa. The visa is the necessary paperwork required for foreign students to study in America. Luckily, his family in Taiwan was able to send a photo of the document to his phone, and the immigration officers allowed him to proceed.

When he first arrived in Newton, Andy was impressed. Newton may be a long way from Hollywood, but to Andy, his first impressions of small-town Iowa were cinematic.

“I watched some American movies, and it was just like in the movies,” he said.

“That’s what I thought. I think it’s a beautiful town. Lots of grass, trees. It’s hard to see that many green plants where I live.”

Soon, it was time for Andy to attend high school in Newton. It was quite an adjustment for the 18-year-old. In Taiwan, high school students stay in the

same classroom all day, and the teachers move from class to class.

He had nap time after lunch in Taiwan, but the schedule in Asia was much more demanding. He arrived at school at 7:30 a.m. and did not leave until after 5 p.m.

Getting dismissed around 3 p.m. at NHS was completely new for Andy.

“The school is easy (in Newton) compared to the school in Taiwan,” he said.

“In Asia, it’s hard.”

What Andy appreciated most about the school system in Iowa was the freedom to choose the courses he was interested in.

He said there is much less flexibility in his home country. All subjects are required in Taiwan.

Andy’s interests include music, biology, foreign languages and computer programming. He formed his school schedule to match his passions.

“The education system here, I won’t say it’s better, but it’s better for me,” he said.

Cotton said Andy is performing well in school.

“He never seems to bring homework home,” Cotton said. “But he’s getting all A’s, so he’s doing the work.”

What will Andy tell his friends and family back home after he returns to Taiwan?

“I think I will talk to them about homecoming night at school,” Andy said. “We don’t have many activities in our school (in Taiwan). But here, there are lots of activities, lots of parties in school. It’s kind of cool.”

He will also remember all the unhealthy foods dished up at the Iowa State Fair.

“How you eat — you deep fry everything. You bacon wrap everything,” he said.

Although most of his classmates are freshmen and sophomores due to his enrollment in entry-level courses, Andy was able to make many friends through PE class, which is based on age. Making friends was not a problem for him. Before he arrived in the United States, his image of Americans’ politeness was not overwhelmingly positive. That changed.

“I found out that the people here are very polite,” he said. “You can’t judge some people just on what other people said. The best way is to experience it for yourself.”

Andy is set to live with two Newton families during his stay. He recently moved to his second part-time Iowa home just after Christmas. Cotton sets up the arrangements for housing and contacts the families.

Andy does not know exactly what will be next for him after he returns to Taiwan, but he has a few ideas. He might pursue a law career or some kind of embassy work.

His options are open, and he plans to attend university in Taiwan.

“Since I’m here, I think my English abilities are absolutely better than the normal student in Taiwan,” he said. “So I think I can be an English teacher.”

Regardless of the path he chooses, Andy has gained a priceless experience in Newton.

Local & State News Council Continued from Page 1A was the gifting of the entire former Maytag Corporate Campus to DMACC to bused to bring the campus “alive” once again.

To continue work on ongoing project into 2017, NDC has requested $75,000 from the city, the same amount allocated last year. NDC Executive Director Frank Liebl said along with they city’s contribution, the organization also raised additional money from the private sector. In 2016 alone, it raised $82,925 to be put toward work for the city.

“I want to thank not only our investors but also the NDC officers and board members not only for their financial contributions but also for their

time in volunteering to serve,” Liebl said. “Without their time and commitment we couldn’t do what we do.”

For the second year, the United Way of Jasper County is requesting $5,000 from the city to be put toward supporting dozens of programs serving more than 12,000 residents in Jasper County. The United Way was not allocated any funds during the previous fiscal year.

“As a nonprofit agency working to help ensure funding is available to organizations serving Jasper County residents, the United Way relies on donations from corporations, businesses and individuals,” executive director Jessica Lowe said. “As more needs arises for assistance for food, housing, utilities, medical care and other health and human services,

the United Way is seeking additional avenues to help fund our work.”

Lowe told stories of calls to her office for food assistance, domestic abuse cases and a father looking for a warm coat for his child.

“Please know the investment of city funds for 20172018 fiscal year will help ensure thousands of Newton residents will receive the hand up they need to stabilize their lives,” Lowe said.

A service that has seen consistent growth in Newton and plans to expand services further in the next year is Heart of Iowa Regional Transit. HIRTA logged in 54,000 in fiscal year 2016, 2,000 more than the previous year, along with 142,000 miles of service and 14,000 hours of service.

“Our services to Des Moines

have seen an increase,” operations manager Brooke Ramsey said. “We have added additional days of service to Des Moines primarily for medical appointment.”

The agency is requesting $22,000 from the city, up $2,000 from its previous allocation. Currently, HIRTA provides rides at a cost of $2.00 per ride and would like to continue the services at the low cost riders associate with program.

Also continuing efforts that have been underway in recent years, the Newton Housing Development Corporation has already been allocated $32,000 through a previous council resolution. Housing Director Bruce Showalter said he is excited to continue work on projects including work at Fairmeadows North and Car-

dinal Ridge and move forward in the areas of second story housing in the Main Street District and develop available lots through the D&D program.

“Our mission is to improve the quantity and quality of housing in Newton,” Showalter said.

Newton Main Street also submitted a request of $25,000, the same amount as the previous fiscal year.

“We are pleased to support agencies that add value to the quality of life of our residents,” Wellik said. “But, as usual, we can expect the 2017-2018 annual budget to be tight, necessitating careful review and consideration.”

Calling for student artist: Annual Junior Duck Stamp contest returns Newton Daily News

File Photo The Newton Public Library didn’t have heat at its facility for nearly two months. Patrons continued to read at the library, despite the brisk temperature. Hours were shortened at the library until the furnace was fixed on Jan. 4.

Heat Continued from Page 1A of the cold months to maintain a comfortable atmosphere for all patrons visiting and staff working in the library,” library director Nicole Lindstrom said.

The library’s furnace is original to the building and because of its age required a custom

built part to be ordered, manufactured and shipped to the library which caused the delay in repair, Lindstrom said.

During the delay, space heaters were spread throughout the library and hours were shortened for the comfort of staff and library visitors.

“We want to thank our community and pa-

trons for their patience and understanding while the library, City of Newton and Warnick & Reeves worked to correct the furnace issue,” Lindstrom said.

Baking success and failure I

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Jan. 6, 2017

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

love to cook. Spending time in the kitchen can be a fun and rewarding pastime when preparing personal or family favorites. It is also a way to try new recipes and find different ways to put together combinations that make a well-balanced meal for me to enjoy or to share with others. I am constantly looking up new recipes or combining a few or just throwing something together I think will taste good. I’ve been lucky enough to pull it off so far.

As part of the cooking, I love to bake.

Cookies seem to be my fall back baked good of choice. There was a stretch last fall where I made a different kind of cookie for four weeks in a row for various family functions and visits.

It all started when my Grandma Bev made a not too subtle suggestion that she had been craving peanut butter star cookies. My 81-year-old grandmother knows her way around the kitchen. The standing joke is if you leave her house hungry, you didn’t do something right.

Now that she’s older, it is hard for her to do all of the baking she once did.

Never fear, her children and grandchildren are more than happy to pick up the slack. Therefore, after about the second time grandma mentioned the cookies, I knew I had to bring them the next time I visited.

I didn’t have the recipe in my book, but I found one almost exactly like grandma’s. I made sure I had the ingredients and set about making the perfect peanut butter cookies. They were deli-

cious, if I do say so myself, but the best part was making grandma happy.

I brought her molasses cookies next, then made monster cookies for my sister and last but not least was never-fail chocolate chip cookies (well except one time when I was a kid making them solo and mixed up salt and sugar, but I don’t want to talk about that).

My next cookie adventure was sugar cookies for Christmas. I made 10 dozen of those bad boys to make it through all of the many Christmas functions and get togethers . This is the third year I’ve been on sugar cookie duty, and everyone seemed very happy with the results this year.

I like to try new baking recipes too.

I branched out a few years ago into zucchini bread and brownies and have since made banana bread and bars for the first time. All had positive feedback, hopefully they weren’t lying to me.

Because of my joy for baking, my boyfriend, Tim, requested I attempt

peanut brittle, which is his dad’s favorite holiday snack. I thought, “no problem, should be easy.” I tracked down a well reviewed peanut brittle recipe online, purchased the necessary items and set out on this new kitchen adventure.

To put it mildly, it was a disaster. It turned out to be a gooey sticky mess. I read online you can reboil the mixture to save it, and well, that just made it worse. I ended up having to toss the batch and apologize to Tim for not accomplishing my goal.

I may try again next year, but I have a feeling I may need to invest in some more candy making equipment.

I found out too late that it’s almost essential to have a candy thermometer and the right kind of sauce pan. I’m also thinking a new recipe is in order.

The more I think about it, maybe just buying the peanut brittle is the easiest way to go.

So Anyway Dana King

The ideas just keep coming I’ve finally come to the conclusion, my body can’t keep up with my ideas.

My daughter Avery and her fiancé gave hubby and me a Keurig for Christmas. For those of you not “in the know,” that’s one of those fancy-schmancy coffee pots that will brew an individual cup of whatever — coffee, tea, cocoa, cappuccino, latte, chai or hot cider.

I’m one of those people that values counter space in my kitchen. I’ve never had enough of it and what I have, I want kept uncluttered. I have made concessions for certain necessities like my microwave, my bread box and my regular coffee maker but that is pretty much the sum of it.

So the other day I finally got around to unpacking my new Keurig. Just like all grown-ups, when we get a new toy, we want to play. So I sat it on the counter, fixed myself a cup of hot tea, then a cup of hazelnut cappuccino and finally a cup of strong, black coffee. All delicious, but nothing my old reliable 12-cup coffee maker or water kettle couldn’t have done. However, with my Keurig, it’s just ... well, to be honest ... it’s just cool.

OK. So, I’m completely hooked on my new coffee maker. But now where in the world am I to keep it? Next to my other coffee pot? I tried it and it just didn’t visually work for me. Over nearer the microwave? No. On the other side of the refrigerator by the window? Nahhh. It looked out of place there.

Oh. My. Gosh! I had a great idea! I would designate an area of my dining room as a coffee bar and I had the perfect location! Right inside the patio doors where we kept the puppy treats we give to our dogs after each “successful” outing to the backyard.

So anyway...

It was New Year’s Day, and I was ready to get started. This was my project. I knew this was something I could do and was determined to do it.

First things first. I had to strip some wallpaper in order to paint the wall. This is something I despise doing with every fiber of my being, but with steamer in hand, I got to work.

After hours of labor intensive wallpaper removal, I went in the basement, rummaged through our paint collection, found just the right color and began painting. I then proceeded to dig through our indoor stockpile of lumber scraps — everything from disassembled bunk beds to old fireplace trim (we’re gifted “repurposers” at our house). I did some measuring, plugged in the circular saw, held my breath and started cutting away. (I actually do know how to use power tools after assisting the hubs with all the other brilliant ideas I’ve had over the years.)

Fast forward to Jan. 2.

I woke up to the sound of sawing, hammering and drilling. Bless his pea-pickin’ heart, hubby had gotten up early and was finishing the construction portion of my coffee bar! (Seriously, this wasn’t one of those “Brady Bunch” ploys where the mom and the girls intentionally build a crappy clubhouse only to have the guys step in and build a better one.) We finished by hanging some cute signs and coffee mugs and staging the potter’s-style bench before 10 a.m. that morning.

We’re so pleased with the outcome of my idea and our handywork, and it’s cute that my three dogs appear to stop for a cup of coffee each time they come indoors now.

Plus, we’re able to sit back and enjoy a cup of whatever it is we want to drink, which is a good thing because after stripping that wallpaper, sitting is about the only thing my back can handle.

Iowa’s voting process is secure The Newton Daily News article of Dec. 29 outlining Rep. Greg Heartsill’s 2017 legislative priorities promotes a misconception that the Iowa voting process is insecure. Iowa auditors have worked very hard with the Iowa Motor Vehicle Division to maintain very, very accurate records.

Information is recorded on drivers’ licenses or on state identification cards for those who do not have drivers’ licenses and has

been found to be very precise. As a matter of fact, a few years ago, the then-Secretary of State Matt Schultz spent thousands of taxpayer dollars and months of time trying to track down illegal voters. After all that effort and expense, a total of about 25 cases were found, but almost all were cases of folks with mistaken information. Some who had been told at one time that they would be able to vote after they were released from prison still believed that to be true (the law changed, but they were not directly informed of the change).

Local officials declined to press charges in most of these cases because the individuals acted on what they understood the law to be; the total charged was three to five, hardly enough to throw an election.

I do hope Rep. Heartsill will spend his valuable time working on problems that really exist and affect many, many Iowans, such as water pollution, world-class education, availability of mental health treatment and attracting well-paying jobs.

This will be a big boost as we plan many new 2017 activities. Our grounds seem to greedily soak up whatever we feed them, so your help is greatly appreciated.

No less important, a big thanks to all those who volunteered both time and money throughout the year. Just take a walk through the

grounds and you can see the result of your contribution. And, the whole community benefits.

Stay tuned. We have a huge project coming soon that you can see from the road. Will keep you posted.

Toddler’s taste in clothes stirs up family tensions

DEAR ABBY: My brother and sister-in-law have been dressing my 2-year-old nephew, “Charlie,” in dresses and pink clothes. They say these are what the boy has chosen. To me, a toddler will pick out whatever gets his attention at the moment, and children that age have only a rudimentary understanding of gender.

It would be one thing if Charlie were old enough to understand and still insisted he felt more comfortable in girls’ clothing. But at his age I feel what they’re doing will only confuse him. Keep in mind, I do not believe this is a transgender issue. I think people who are transgender should dress and act the way they feel. I just feel that age 2 is too young to determine this.

My parents (the boy’s grandparents) are worried and angry. My sister-inlaw knows this upsets my mother and yet it’s like she’s taunting her with texts and pictures of Charlie in pink and/or dresses.

Should we be worried about this or should it be none of our business? Are we overreacting? Would it be best to approach my brother to tell him our concerns? — TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND DEAR TOO YOUNG: It is likely that Charlie is going through a phase and doing something he has seen other people do. But more important than what his mother buys for him is how others respond to it. A family’s negative reaction sends a strong message. If Charlie is innocently testing out his/ her authentic self, his grandparents’ negative response will signal that they disapprove of who he IS, which could have lasting ramifications for him.

Counselors at PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) have told me that many parents say that, looking back, they realize that by disapproving, they had sent their child the message that they couldn’t accept him/her. One child had suicidal thoughts at the age of 5 because of

it. (And yes, sometimes children that young do act on the impulse.)

DEAR ABBY: I often read and enjoy the Pennies From Heaven stories that your readers send and decided to share mine. Although it doesn’t involve a penny, it’s very special to me.

My grandmother and I had a special bond, and part of it was sand dollars. She taught me their meaning and would mail me postcards with pictures of dollars on them. When she passed away, I inherited the gold sand dollar necklace she had often worn.

I moved into a new home several years ago, and during the home inspection, I found a sand dollar in the pantry! Everything had been emptied out of the house except for that lone sand dollar propped upright on a shelf.

When I saw it, I knew immediately who it was from, and I felt so blessed.

It’s comforting to know we are being watched over by our loved ones. — SAND DOLLAR BLESSING DEAR BLESSING: Your letter made me smile. I wish you had mentioned what your late grandmother explained to you about the meaning of sand dollars, because from what I have read, some people associate them with Christian beliefs, while others insist they are “coins” scattered by mermaids.

Whichever meaning your grandmother ascribed to them, it’s clear from what you have written that she was dearly loved. Thank you for sharing.

putting tot’s arm in hot coffee

COUNCIL BLUFFS — A February trial is scheduled for an Iowa woman accused of placing her infant son’s arm in a mug of coffee to prove to him that it was hot. Rebecca Brahier of Council Bluffs is accused of felony charges of willful injury and child endangerment. Court records show the 36-year-old mother entered a written plea of not guilty Tuesday. Her trial is set for Feb. 7. Brahier told police that the 10-month-old boy tried to touch the mug several times on Nov. 19 before she put his arm inside it.

DAVENPORT — A man has been given 15 years in prison for killing a worker in an eastern Iowa highway construction zone.

Nineteen-year-old Sebon Reese was sentenced Thursday in Scott County District Court in Davenport. Officials say a deputy spotted Reese’s speeding car Sept. 1 on U.S. Highway 61 near Blue Grass. His car entered a work zone before the deputy could pull it over. Investigators say Reese tried to exit the highway but careened into the construction area, hitting 62-year-old Willie Holley.

On Wednesday a judge ordered the evaluation of Peter Veal, who’s pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. His trial was to begin Jan. 24.

The tests were ordered after the judge heard testimony from Leann Veal about her son’s behavior.

IOWA CITY — The Iowa Board of Regents is requesting a significant funding boost for the state’s public universities despite the possibility of budget cuts and an expectation that lawmakers will have limited revenue to work with in the upcoming legislative session.

Iowa’s top election official announces voter ID bill or other approved form of ID to vote. The office would distribute free state-issued IDs to existing registered voters, according to Pate, Pate though his office is seeking $1 million to help make that happen.

The bill would also prohibit college students from using school-issued IDs to vote. The counties that house Iowa’s three public universities were some of the handful of counties that voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the Nov. 8 election.

Pate, a Republican, had defended Iowa’s current voting system in October following a tweet from Trump that said the 2016 elections would be rigged and criticizing GOP officials who denied his claims.

— Sen. Jeff Danielson D-Waterloo

At the time, Pate called Iowa “one of the best states in the nation for both voter participation and voter integrity.”

More than 70 percent of registered voters participated in November.

Pate acknowledged his October comments and reiterated the system is clean, but said it needed to be kept that way.

DES MOINES (AP) — Sen. Charles Grassley says he doesn’t think he’ll be condemned for moving quickly on a Donald Trump nominee for U.S. Supreme Court after refusing last year to hold hearings on President Barack Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland.

Grassley says the opposition expected from Democrats makes it more important that Trump does as promised and selects a nominee who received strong Senate support when named to the federal court.

Grassley, head of the Senate Judiciary committee, declined last year to consider Garland saying voters should have a voice through their choice of president. Grassley easily won re-election after enduring months of criticism as an obstructionist.

“The proposals today from Secretary Pate turned back the clock by making election policy a partisan issue,” the Cedar Falls Democrat said in a statement.

It’s not the first time Iowa has looked into voter fraud.

About two dozen people, including ex-felons and nonU.S. citizens, were charged with registering and/or voting illegally after a two-year investigation was completed in 2014 by Pate’s predecessor, former Secretary of State Matt Schultz. Some cases were later dropped.

Democrats and civil rights groups called the roughly $240,000 investigation a waste of money and an attempt to intimidate people confused about their voting rights.

Schultz, also a Republican, defended the program as ensuring election integrity.

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa will require voters to show identification at the polls under a bill announced Thursday by the state’s top election official, and Republicans in the new GOP-controlled Legislature have indicated a willingness to pass it.

The legislation mirrors voter ID bills introduced in Republican-controlled statehouses around the United States in recent years and comes just weeks after President-elect Donald Trump questioned — with no evidence — the integrity of voting in the presidential election.

“We just want to ensure that voters are who they say they are,” Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate said in releasing details.

Pate’s office said a draft of the bill was not available yet, but included a plan to require Iowa residents to show an Iowa driver’s license, passport

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Logan Zibert works for a pin of an opponent from Pella in an earlier dual this season. On Thursday, Zibert recorded a pin of an Oskloosa opponent to help Newton defeat the host Indians in a Littlie Hawkeye Conference wrestling dual, 42-31.

Cardinals capture LHC dual against Indians

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

OSKALOOSA — In a close Little Hawkeye Conference dual Tuesday, Newton High’s wrestling team broke an 18all tie with back-to-back pins by seniors Logan Zibert and Noah Hammer at 152 and 160 pounds. The victories pushed Newton in the lead, 30-18, on its way to a 42-31 win over host Oskaloosa.

The Cardinals went 2-3 in

the final five matches against the Indians but only gave up 13 team points while scoring 12 points. Senior Brady Smith won by forfeit at 195 and senior Alex Miller pinned Oskaloosa’s Tyson Breukland in 44 seconds for the win at 220.

Newton’s first 12 points came on forfeit wins by sophomore Blake Cockerton at 113 and junior Ross Hull at 126 pounds. Freshman Zane Kholmeyer recorded a pin of the Indians’ Cody Gunn at the

3:33 mark of their 138-pound match.

The Indians got wins by falls at 120 with Josh Diehl over Newton senior Aren Sorensen and at 132 with Jackson Kargol over Newton freshman Noah Cook. Newton was up 18-12.

Oskaloosa senior Drew Sams, who is ranked No. 3 in Class 3A at 145, pinned Newton sophomore Cole Whitten in 3 minutes, 12 seconds. The teams were deadlocked at 18-18.

Zibert built a 6-3 lead over Emmit Boender in the 152-pound match. With the lead, Zibert was on the bottom to open the second period, made the switch and pinned Boender at the 2:21 mark.

Hammer and Oskaloosa’s Casey Hill went scoreless in the first period of their 160-pound match. Hammer choose to take the bottom spot to open the second period. He had a reversal and put Hill on his back with 51 sec-

Big 12 football teams do play defense

O

n the cusp of the end of college football for the 2016 season, I’m already starting to have withdraw symptoms. Probably because the NFL season is winding down too.

I’m a football junkie. I own it.

Following Monday night’s national college championship game between Alabama and Clemson, I can look forward to a few more weeks of the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl on Feb. 5.

After that it becomes a wasteland of sports on television for me. I don’t get into basketball, especially the NBA, or hockey.

I’ll watch Kansas State play basketball — men or women — and I’ll

NHS basketball teams lose to Pella squads

C-M ends home quad with win over L-S COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo wrestling coach Erin Hume knows that a full lineup has played a factor into the Tigerhawks’ strong dual record so far this season.

Hume isn’t apologizing for it though. And it turns out, the Tigerhawks are pretty good, too.

Colfax-Mingo collected 13 forfeit victories in dual wins over Lynnville-Sully and HLV during a South Iowa Cedar League home quadrangular on Thursday night.

The Tigerhawks opened the night with a 60-21 loss to undefeated Sigourney-Keota but rebounded to take down HLV 54-27 and defeated Lynnville-Sully 60-21.

“We have managed to keep a full 14 guys and that’s a big deal,” Hume said. “We have been on the other end of that, so I can’t apologize for it. I really think our young guys showed up and competed. We didn’t do as well in the second dual, but it was a good night.”

onds gone in the stanza.

Newton senior Tanner Petro squared off against Oskloosa’s 3A fourth-ranked senior Jason Beebe at 170. They were scoreless after one period.

Beebe turned Petro in the second period, but only scored a two-point near-fall. Petro regrouped and escaped for one point. Petro lost the match 2-1.

Newton led Oskaloosa, 30-21.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Lynnville-Sully (5-5 overall, 4-4 in SICL matches) began its night with a 36-30 win over HLV.

PELLA — Newton High’s junior varsity boys dropped a 64-42 decision to host Pella Thursday night. The NHS freshman boys lost 60-46 to Pella and the Cardinal freshman girls lost 35-11 to the Lady Dutch.

In the junior varsity contest, Newton’s boys were led by Kyle Long with 14 points. Long hit four 3-pointers. Grant Garvis scored 11 points and grabbed five rebounds.

Aaron Bartels had five rebounds and four points. Cody Satterfield tossed in four points and made two steals. William Cheng had four points while McKenna Davis had three points and three assists.

Matt Morn added two points.

Cheng paced the Newton freshman boys with 11 points. Cody Hamilton had eight points.

Clouse rolled through a takedown by Arment to record the first-period pin. The Tigerhawks won the dual 60-21.

Colfax-Mingo improved to 13-5 on the season. The loss to Sigourney-Keota was the first SICL dual loss of the season as the Tigerhawks are 7-1 in conference action.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets watch a little of the March Madness.

Speaking of the K-State men’s basketball team, the Wildcats put a scare into the No. 3 ranked Kansas Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse Tuesday, losing 9088 on a somewhat suspect final shot.

I didn’t see it live but replays show a clear traveling event happening.

I really missed college football from the end of the regular season until the bowl games began. While on vacation, my dad and I watched a lot of the bowl games. I really got tired of hearing all the talking college experts say Big 12 Conference football teams don’t play defense.

I even came across one tweet saying K-State allowed 28 points and still won — if you had watched the game, the highly touted SEC team Texas

A&M allowed 33 points and lost. The Wildcat defense was on the field at the end protecting the five-point lead and turned the Aggies’ offense away.

Kansas State was the best defensive team in the Big 12 in 2016 and finished 48th in the nation in total defense. The Big 12 had six teams in bowl games and went 4-2, which was third best of the Power 5 conferences.

The ACC (Clemson) and the SEC (Alabama) still have one more bowl game to play, but those conferences were 8-3 and 6-6, respectively. The Pac-12 went 3-3 and the Big Ten was 3-7 in bowl games.

I’m pretty proud of the Big 12 Conference football teams. They beat two SEC teams and two Pac-12 teams.

TCU came up short against Georgia of the SEC while West Virginia lost big to the ACC’s Miami.

In between bowl games, I watched the end of the NFL regular season.

Dad and I drove home from Christmas dinner at my sister’s, got into com-

fort mode at his house and watched the Kansas City Chiefs dismantle the Denver Broncos on Christmas night.

A week later, I was snuggled up on a couch at a friend’s home in Kansas on New Year’s Day evening watching the Chiefs win the AFC West Division championship against the San Diego Chargers. Denver helped the Chiefs by defeating the Raiders at the same time. The Chiefs swept the AFC West Division.

Now, we — Chiefs fans — wait as Kansas City earned a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs as the No. 2 seed.

New England is the No. 1 seed. Kansas City plays a winner of this weekend’s wild card games in an AFC divisional game on Jan. 15 at Arrowhead Stadium. The highest seeded wild card game winner — Pittsburgh, Houston, Oakland or Miami — comes to Kansas City.

I’m ready for some football.

Husker Heartbreak: Nebraska tops Iowa in double OT LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska could have let its surprise start in the Big Ten slip away when it failed to put away Iowa at the end of regulation.

Instead, the Cornhuskers kept battling through two overtimes and finally won 9390 on Thursday night, and now they’re off to their best start in conference play since 1975-76.

Glynn Watson Jr. made 7 of 8 3-pointers and scored a career-high 34 points, Tai Webster hit the go-ahead free throw in the last minute, and the Huskers withstood some anxious moments to win their conference home opener.

“I just knew we would pull it off,” Watson said. “Coach (Tim) Miles told us it would be tough, and we showed we’re the toughest team tonight.”

The Huskers (9-6, 3-0 Big Ten) came into the game off surprising road wins over Indiana and Maryland.

“We’re really seeing the result of always talking about how we’re the most together group we’ve had in years,” Webster said. “Now it’s really come and showing just how together we are.”

The Huskers had a chance to win in regulation, but Evan Taylor missed two free throws with 1.3 seconds left. Taylor got to the line after Nicholas Baer fouled him from behind on a fast break.

“Can’t blame him for that,” Webster said. “It could have been anyone, it could have been me.”

Taylor came into the game having made 12 of 14 free throws for the season but was 0 for 5 against the Hawks.

“Of course, in the locker room we joke with him that he’s not practicing tomorrow,”

for the Hawks, Tyler Cook added 14 and Cordell Pemsl 10.

“We should have won,” Moss said. “It hurts. We had a lot of opportunities to close it out and couldn’t do it.”

Big Picture Iowa: The Hawkeyes dropped to 0-3 in true road games but hung tough in a hostile environment with a starting lineup that includes four freshmen and a senior.

Nebraska: The Huskers continue to get impressive play from the backcourt of Watson and Webster, who combined for 57 points, and showed their road wins over Indiana and Maryland were no fluke.

AP Photo Iowa’s Peter Jok (14) and Nebraska’s Ed Morrow (30) compete for a rebound during the first half in Lincoln, Neb., on Thursday. Jok scored 31 points, but the Hawkeyes lost to the Huskers in double overtime.

Key Numbers Nebraska finished 19 for 35 on free throws. “We do practice free throws. I just want you to know that,” Miles said.

The Huskers made all six of their free throws in the first overtime to force another period.

Iowa held a 27-5 advantage in second-chance points and blocked eight shots, six by Baer.

Webster said. “It’ll be, ‘Jump on the free-throw line — 100 free throws for you and you’re good,’ “ Peter Jok scored 34 points to lead Iowa (9-7, 1-2), which saw its five-game win streak against Nebraska end.

“Nebraska’s a great team,” Jok said. “They’ve been on a roll. I felt like we played great and had chances to win it.”

Webster finished with 23 points and seven assists for the Huskers, Jeriah Horne added 12 points and Michael Jacobson had 13 rebounds.

Time To Rest Webster said after the game that he couldn’t remember what happened in the first half.

No surprise. He played 49 of the 50 minutes.

“I just want to go home, to be honest,” he said. “I can’t feel my legs. They were cramping all second half. I was done in the second half, really.”

Webster said assistant coach Michael Lewis urged him on.

“Coach Lew, he’s great at getting in my head, and he really challenged me,” Webster said. “Luckily, I responded.”

Webster went to the line after Jok fouled out with 54.6 seconds left in the second overtime. He made the first and missed the second, leaving the Huskers with a one-point lead.

Horne made two more free throws with 17.4 seconds to play. The Hawkeyes still had two chances to win, but Jordan Bohannon missed a shot and, after Taylor missed two more free throws, Brady Ellingson was off with his desperation 3-point try at the buzzer.

Isaiah Moss had 17 points

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Class 1A No. 15 Lynnville-Sully used a big second quarter to grab momentum Thursday during a non-conference girls basketball game against Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

Leading by two after one quarter, the Hawks outscored CMB 16-5 in the second quarter, and the defense did the rest during a 38-15 victory.

Lynnville-Sully held the Raiders to single-digit points in all four quarters and stayed unbeaten at 11-0 on the season.

“The girls played amazing defense tonight,” L-S coach Jerry Hulsing said. “I thought we did a great job of helping and not giving CMB any easy shots.”

Hawk senior Brenna Lanser was the only player in the game to reach double-figures in points as she finished with 16.

Lanser added seven rebounds, six assists and four steals, too.

The Hawks outscored CMB 10-3 in the third quarter and 7-4 in the fourth.

CMB, which had won two straight games heading into the holiday break, fell to 6-5 on the season.

The Raiders lost their first game of 2017 in large part because it made only 5-of-33 from the floor.

CMB was 2-of-13 from 3-point range.

The Hawks also scored 15 points off 25 CMB turnovers.

CMB junior Brianda Bane had six points, four rebounds and three steals to lead the Raiders, while junior Sailor Hinegardner scored three points and had three steals.

“I was happy with how our girls handled the physical play tonight.”

The Hawks, ranked ninth in Class 1A, led 22-7 after one quarter and they held a 34-17 advantage at halftime.

Lynnville-Sully outscored CMB 35-18 in the second half.

AP source: Cavs nearing deal for former Pella standout Korver CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyle Korver could soon be hoisting shots for the NBA champions.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to finalize a deal to acquire Korver, one of the league’s elite 3-point shooters, in a trade from the Atlanta Hawks, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

The sides are closing in on a deal, but the particulars “’are not clear,” said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been completed.

The Vertical first reported the potential swap.

Cleveland is in need of another outside shooting threat with J.R. Smith expected to be sidelined until the end of the regular season after undergoing surgery to repair a broken thumb. The 35-year-old Korver is a more than adequate replacement as he’s shot 43 percent from long range during his career and his 1,952 made 3-pointers are the eighth most in league history.

Korver did not play in Thursday night’s game in New Orleans, and afterward said he had mixed emotions about a trade that may only need league approval before becoming official.

“There are a lot of heart ties to Atlanta for a lot of reasons,” said Korver, who spent five seasons with Atlanta after two in Chicago. “A lot of friendships, relationships.

“Obviously, it’s a great opportunity for me to go to Cleveland so I’m very excited about that part. But there are a lot of relationships that I care a lot about here and I’m going to miss.”

Cleveland has been looking to add to its roster after losing Smith and center Chris Andersen to a season-ending knee injury. The Cavs also have interest in acquiring a backup point guard, but bringing in another outside threat for LeBron James appears to be the priority.

Iowa running back Wadley returning for senior season

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Will Dunsbergen, top, battles Sigourney-Keota’s Cian Borra during a South Iowa Cedar League quadrangular on Thursday. Dunsbergen recorded two pins on the night, and the Tigerhawks defeated Lynnville-Sully and HLV in dual action.

SICL Quad Continued from Page 1B

The second dual of the night resulted in a 66-11 loss to the Savages, who are now 12-0 in duals this season and 8-0 in conference action.

“The kids did awesome,” L-S coach Jason Walston said. “From the first match to the last match, we improved on our feet, on our motion and on our ability. I saw improvement in everyone.”

The Tigerhawks took five forfeits against Lynnville-Sully.

Freshman Cyden Fitch began the dual with a forfeit win at 120 pounds. L-S bounced back with back-to-back first-period pins by junior Josh Dunsbergen and sophomore Ty Breeden.

The dual would eventually be tied at 18-all. Colfax-Mingo senior Adam Teed got his only win of the night when he pinned senior Caden Dunsbergen in 43 seconds at 138 pounds. C-M freshman Trystin Ross took a forfeit at 145, but L-S tied the dual when junior Cayden Johnson pinned C-M senior Will Dunsbergen at 152.

The Hawks would only collect one more win the rest of the way though.

Sophomore Jordan Lescaleet (160), junior Nick Barnes (195) and sophomore Cauy Fitch (113) all took forfeits to expand the lead. The other four wins by C-M were by fall.

Senior Trent Jones pinned Bryson Barnett at 170 with 2 seconds left on the clock to get the run going.

Freshman Isaac Clouse recovered from getting put on his back by L-S senior Colten Arment. Clouse rolled through Arment’s initial move and pinned the Hawk senior late in the first period.

C-M senior Colton Lourens (220) and freshman Zack Barnes (106) each won their matches by pin.

Lynnville-Sully’s final win of the night came at heavyweight as sophomore Caleb Barnett scored a five-point move early in the match and defeated C-M senior Ben Mead, 7-6.

“We put ourselves in a hole a few times and made some mistakes, but other than that, it was a good night,” Hume said. “We have to work on a lot of stuff.

We are still making small mis-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo freshman Cyden Fitch spins around Sigourney-Keota’s Luke House for two points during his 9-8 victory at 120 pounds Thursday. Fitch went 3-0 on the night and is now 13-2 on the season.

takes that are costing us some matches. It’s better to do it now though than in four weeks.”

The Tigerhawks managed just four wins against Sigourney-Keota. Cauy Fitch earned a first-period pin at 113, and Cyden Fitch gave C-M an early lead with a 9-8 win by decision at 120.

“I thought we showed up well against Sigourney-Keota,” Hume said. “I thought we held our own in some matches.”

The 9-6 advantage was shortlived though as the Savages rolled off wins in nine of the next 11 matches to win easily.

“They knew how to take us to our back quickly,” Hume said of the S-K. “They stayed in good position and waited for us to make mistakes. They are good at that and are a good team.”

Ross and Will Dunsbergen each won by fall in back-to-back bouts. Both C-M wrestlers went 2-1 on the night.

HLV won five of the six contested matches against C-M in the second dual of the night.

Will Dunsbergen defeated Dakota Huber by fall in 1 minute, 40 seconds.

Cauy Fitch, Cyden Fitch, sophomore Mollie Greve, freshman Tim Carroll, Nick Barnes, Lourens, Mead and Zack Barnes all took forfeits.

Cauy Fitch and Cyden Fitch both went 3-0 on the night.

Cauy Fitch is now 17-1 on the season with 11 pins. Cyden Fitch improved to 13-2. Lourens and Barnes both went 2-1 on the night and are now 16-2 and 13-6, respectively, on the season.

“I am feeling pretty good.

I just wish I could get more matches. Sometimes there’s just not someone at your weight,” Cauy Fitch said. “This has been

a fun season. Guys are practicing harder and not fooling around.

It just carries over into the duals.”

Cauy Fitch should get a bump in competition Saturday when the Tigerhawks compete in the PCM Invitational. Class 3A No. 10 Carter Logue should be in the field as well as another wrestler from Westwood Sloan who qualified for the state tournament last year.

“I want to get some matches in, and coach said there are some good wrestlers at PCM,” Cauy Fitch said. “I am looking forward to wrestling them. It should be a good match.”

Lynnville-Sully brought just nine healthy wrestlers to Thursday’s quadrangular.

Junior Sage Zylstra (11-2) did not make the trip because of an illness, and junior Carson Dunsbergen (7-3) is out around two weeks because of a shoulder injury.

The short-handed roster had enough to best HLV, which had only six wrestlers.

The Hawks grabbed five forfeit wins against HLV. Those were collected by Jacob DeHoedt (106), Josh Dunsbergen (126), Breeden (132), junior Aaron Vande Krol (220) and Barnett (285).

Johnson got the other win in the dual when he pinned Dakota Huber in the first period. Johnson went 3-0 on the night with three pins. He is now 12-3 on the season.

“I need to stop playing around. I need to get in and get out,” Johnson said. “But It’s a big confidence boost. These are all conference schools so it’s good to know that I can compete with a lot of the guys I will see the rest of the way.”

Josh Dunsbergen also went 3-0 on the night for the Hawks.

Against Sigourney-Keota, Dunsbergen dominated Thomas Stout, 19-3.

Johnson’s win by fall against Cian Borra was the only other win for L-S against the Savages.

“He’s wrestling within himself. He’s using his skills and what he knows very well,” Walston said of Johnson. “He is wrestlng very smart and very tough right now.”

Breeden and Barnett were both 2-1 on the night.

Both Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully compete in the PCM Invitational, which kicks off at 9 a.m. Saturday in Monroe.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa running back Akrum Wadley is returning for his senior season.

Wadley contemplated turning pro after a breakout junior year in which he emerged as Iowa’s most explosive offensive weapon.

But the 190-pound Wadley decided that one more season in college — this time as the Hawkeyes’ go-to back— would be more beneficial than declaring for the NFL draft.

Iowa finished 8-5, losing to Florida 30-3 on Monday in the Outback Bowl.

“I met with my parents and we laid out the pros and cons, and came to the decision that it would be best for me to stay at Iowa for my senior year,” Wadley said.

“The main three reasons are to earn my degree, to have another year to prepare physically, and to not end my collegiate career on a bad note. We have some unfinished business.”

Wadley ran for 1,081 yards and 10 touchdowns and caught 36 passes with three touchdowns last year despite splitting carries with departing senior LeShun Daniels Jr. Wadley will attempt to join Sedrick Shaw, Fred Russell and Ladell Betts as the only Hawkeyes to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season more than once, and if he stays healthy he’ll likely do so.

Wadley will be Iowa’s returning back with significant experience.

“Akrum has displayed growth and maturity during his career, and had an outstanding season in 2016,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

“We look forward to Akrum being a key member of our team in 2017.”

Powered up: Indians sign Encarnacion to three-year deal CLEVELAND (AP) — The AL’s best team is set to start the new year with a power surge.

O n e win from a World Series title last s e a son, the C l e v e - Encarnacion land Ind i a n s finalized a $65 million, three-year contract with free agent slugger Edwin Encarnacion Thursday.

Cleveland aggressively pursued Encarnacion, who has averaged 39 homers over the past five seasons. Encarnacion hit 42 homers and drove in 127 runs last season for the Toronto Blue Jays, who lost to the Indians in the AL Championship Series.

Encarnacion’s agreement is the largest in club history, surpassing

a 2007 deal with Travis Hafner that added $57 million in guaranteed money through 2012 and a $56 million, four-year contract with free agent Nick Swisher ahead of the 2013 season.

Encarnacion’s signing also represents the second major move in six months by the Indians, who traded for elite reliever Andrew Miller before last year’s trading deadline. That acquisition helped the Indians win the AL Central for the first time since 2007 and got them to their first Series since 1997.

Cleveland is hoping Encarnacion can lead the franchise to its first Series title since 1948.

Encarnacion hit 193 homers over the past five years and has connected for 310 in his career. He is expected to split time at first base and designated hitter with Carlos Santana.

Cowboys’ Randy Gregory gets one-year ban for substance abuse FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas defensive end Randy Gregory was suspended for at least a year Thursday for another violation of the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.

It’s the third time this season Gregory has been suspended. The first was a four-game ban, followed by 10 games on top of that. The latest suspension makes him ineligible for the playoffs, which start Jan. 15 for Dallas, the top seed in the NFC. The suspension is for one calendar year, meaning Gregory could be eligible for the playoffs without another violation if the Cowboys make it again next season. Gregory can ap-

ply for reinstatement to Commissioner Roger Goodell 60 days before the anniversary of the suspension.

Gregory played the final two games of his second regular season, recording the first sack of his career in the finale against Philadelphia.

The former Nebraska standout slid to the second round of the 2015 draft over off-field concerns that included a positive test for marijuana at the NFL combine.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said he intends to support Gregory, but the latest ban raises doubt as to whether he will be on the Dallas roster when he is eligible to return.

loses power, and you’re no longer concerned about what people think. A whole array of options opens up to the right and the left of appropriateness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Once you strip away the chaff of familiarity and look at your daily life the way an outsider might, there’s a real potential to do interesting work and maybe even to elevate the ordinary to the level of art.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You know the right thing to say. You could tell people what they wanted to hear, no sweat. But it’s too easy, and it creates such a mild, forget-

table impression. That’s why you’ll dare to add a dash more honesty.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you know you’re being accepted you can let go, have fun and be happy. It’s the same with everyone, and it’s why your tolerant, accepting attitude is actually helping the world to be a happier place.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

In this boat of humanity on the rough seas of life, everyone must row with the oar he has.

Drop your oar? Paddle with your hand. All efforts are needed now, yours especially.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One thing you don’t need to worry about is what to say. Say little

and do much and you’ll be a wonderful surprise to someone, you’ll earn the trust of many, you’ll make an excellent impression on all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The gamblers know that even when you trust the other players, you cut the cards. You’re safe here. The precautions of protection may be merely ritualistic at this point, and that makes them more important, not less.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

It’s always prudent to know about procedures, standards and guidelines before going into a situation, but if you don’t know them, seek a young teacher to show you the rules, or an old one to show you the

exceptions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re a person of principle, which is way better than being an impulsive slave to immediate gratification. However, before you go to battle for an idea, make sure you’re absolutely clear on what the idea really is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Jealousy is information your subconscious mind gives to clue you into what you really want. Envy is rocket fuel.

Don’t waste it by pointing it in any direction away from you.

Put it back in your own tank and aim yourself well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As for stirring up controversy -- anyone can accidental-

ly flub and say something silly or unintentionally offensive. It takes a pro to do this deliberately.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Unfortunately, a lot of people are more concerned with who gets the credit than they are with getting things done. So, let them have the credit. It’s worth it if they get out of the way of your progress.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The rag that gets the floor clean becomes quite dirty, and so it goes. Perhaps you can’t really make the mess go away, but you can organize it in a manner that makes it much more pleasing to experience.

Newton High bowlers gain a split with Clarke

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

OSCEOLA — Rolling their highest team scores of the season, Newton High’s bowling teams finished with a split against the Clarke squads Thursday at Alley Bowl in Osceola.

Newton’s boys claimed a 2,729-2,426 win over the Clarke Indians. The Lady Indians built up a 58-pin lead by the end of the individual games and held off the Cardinal girls for a 2,350-2,287 win.

“We had a great meet for both teams,” Newton head coach Seth Banwell said.

“Both teams are making vast improvements each week.”

The Cardinal boys won by 303 pins. They were ahead of the Indians following the individual games, 1,853-1,648.

In the Baker Games round, Newton rolled a 876 score to Clarke’s 778.

Shaiden Simmons paced the Newton boys, averaging 200 pins per game. After a first game of 150, Simmons roared back with a 257 for a 407 total. Reid Miller also posted a 212 in his second game to finish at 382.

“Shaiden picked up one of the toughest splits possible in bowling — the 7-10 split,” Banwell said. “After he converted that split, he went on to throw eight strikes in a row for a great 257 game, which included an open frame. He was on fire and never let up.”

Sam Supino bowled a 370 (178-192) and Alex Frymoyer had a 354 (169-185). Reece Thurmond finished with a 350 on games of 157 and 183. Austin Johansen had a 332 (160-172).

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Taylor Johnson releases the ball during warmups for a bowling dual at home earlier this season. The Newton bowling teams competed against Clarke Thursday at Osceola’s Alley Bowl. The NHS girls lost to Clarke.

Newton’s Baker Games scores were 198-156-157-191-174.

Newton’s girls raised their total score by 281 pins from their last meet. They trailed Clarke 1,552-1,494 going into the Baker Games round. The Cardinals rolled a pretty even Baker round against the Lady Indians, 798-793.

“The girls remained focused, picking up the majority of their spares,” Banwell said. “We stayed really close to them and lost a tough battle.”

Leading the way for the Newton girls was Lizzy Coyle with a 318 on games of 170

and 148. Kaytie Hughes recorded a 309 (147-162) and Alicia Miller had a 307 (156-151).

Alyssa White finished with a 288 (126-162) and Taylor Johnson had a 272 (120-152).

Keely Birkenholtz rolled a 244 (90-154). The Cardinals’ Baker round scores were 130-160150-172-188.

Newton’s bowlers take on Pella Christian at 1 p.m. Saturday in Little Hawkeye Conference action at Pella’s Excit-A-Bowl.

USA edges Canada in world junior hockey thriller MONTREAL (AP) — Troy Terry scored the lone shootout goal, Tyler Parsons stopped all five shots he faced in the tiebreaker and the United States outlasted Canada 5-4 on Thursday night to win the world junior hockey title.

The game was decided in the fiveround shootout after a 20-minute overtime period.

On Wednesday in the semifinals, Terry scored on all three of his shootout attempts to give the United States a 4-3 victory over Russia. He beat the goalies between the legs on all four attempts in the two games.

“Before the shootout, I was thinking about trying something different,” Terry said. “As I came down, I decided I just had to try to go five-hole.”

The University of Denver forward and Anaheim draft pick beat Carter Hart in the fourth round of the shootout. Parsons then stopped Anthony Cirelli’s attempt, American Jeremy Bracco missed a chance to end it in the

top of fifth round, and Nicholas Roy mishandled the puck on Canada’s last attempt.

“He’s unbelievable” Boston University forward Clayton Keller said about Terry. “He’s a guy that doesn’t get nervous. He’s always calm and confident and he just has that ice in his veins. He came up clutch for us again, and (Parsons) made that big save at the end.”

Parsons made 46 saves. The Michigan native and Calgary draft pick plays for London in Ontario Hockey League.

“It was a great atmosphere in the building,” Parsons said. “It gave me chills. It’s unbelievable to win this for your country.”

The Americans won their fourth title and first since 2013. They won all seven of their games in the tournament, also beating Canada 3-1 on Saturday in the group finale.

“When we got together in Michigan for our camp this summer, there was something special with these guys,” said U.S. coach Bob Motzko of St. Cloud State.

“This team had great camaraderie, tremendous heart and always battled. This is a special group who will forever walk together.”

The teams met for the fourth time in the championship game, with the Americans also winning in 2004 and 2010 and Canada in 1997. Canada won the last of its record 16 titles in 2015.

“It’s hard for me right now,” said Canadian defenseman Thomas Chabot, the tournament MVP. “I lost one of the biggest games of my life.”

The Americans overcame two two-goal deficits to force overtime.

“It was such an up-and-down game,” Terry said. “We were down two goals twice. I think when we were down 2-0 and came back to tie it we got some confidence because it sucked to go down two goals right away. But, we knew as a team that no matter how we played, we had the confidence to get back into the game.”

Earlier, Russia beat Sweden 2-1 in overtime in the bronze-medal game.
