A brave few hit the snow at Jacob Krumm

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke to a crowd of about 160 people Saturday morning at the Jasper County Community Center in Newton. Sanders focused heavily on issues important to seniors, such as prescription-drug prices and Social Security benefits.

Sanders talks Social Security, health care during Newton stop

A few dedicated outdoors people braved single-digit temperatures Saturday afternoon to snowshoe and cross-country ski at the Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve Saturday.

Jasper County Naturalist Greg Oldsen led the clinic, instructing on skiing techniques and snowshoeing tips.

Dallas Vander Pol and her friend Sophia Borts headed out for their first time cross-country skiing.

The pair had downhill skied before and decided to give the cross-country variety a try.

“We are close with the conservation staff so it is fun do things when they have events

going on,” Vander Pol said. “We like to support programs that the conservation puts on.”

Also out on the cold day was Matt Scotton, who was testing out a new pair of snowshoes.

“I’ve snowshoed a few times and I just got new ones for Christmas so I thought it would be a good chance to go out because I couldn’t talk my family members to going out today,” Scotton said. “I’ve skied a long time ago but it has been so long that I thought I would just stick with my new snowshoes.”

Other than the freezing temps, the snow covered ground was ready for anyone willing to adventure out.

Community Center event attracts about 160 people

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News With a heavy focus on seniors issues, a Democratic presidential candidate drew one of the biggest crowds Newton has seen this caucus season when he spoke and took questions Saturday at the Jasper County Community Center.

The visit, which was the Vermont U.S. senator’s second visit to Newton in the past four months, was billed as “coffee with seniors,” targeting an age group that has brought Bernie Sanders only modest support in terms of poll numbers. Sanders addressed health care and Social Security amid other seniors issues in his 23-minute talk before taking questions for about 25 more minutes.

“There are millions and mil-

lions of seniors trying to get by on about $12,000 or $13,000 per year,” Sanders said. “That is unacceptable.”

Sanders focused on economic issues that he feels could be remedied by Congressional approval of health-care and Social Security reforms. He took questions about veterans affairs, gender

equality, dealing with foreign leaders and racial profiling.

Many residents of Newton or other Jasper County communities attended the event, which was part of a busy swing through central Iowa for Sanders. His first appearance in Newton was a town-hall meeting held at Newton High School in September.

Madeline Walker, a 14-yearold Berg Middle School eighth-grader, asked Sanders why the Vermont senator feels his plan for equality for women is superior to Hillary Clinton’s ideas. Sanders replied with many of the common positions he has taken on issues important to women, such as being pro-choice and in favor of the expansion of Planned Parenthood programs.

Reconfigured district will offer services in new places Preschool, Head Start programs to Thomas Jefferson in fall

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News As the Newton Community School District prepares to reconfigure, many of its special elements will have to relocate.

Fitness, wellness draw a crowd in the new year

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News New year, new you is a popular concept as the calendar rolls over, no more so than at local gyms and fitness centers. Anytime Fitness and the Newton YMCA have both been busy as community members refocus on their health and wellness in the new year.

“This is exciting, a great time of year. People really want to focus on their health and so it is great opportunity,” said Newton YMCA Associate Executive Director Rhonda Robson. “We’ve definitely seen an up-tick in people this week.

The new year always seems to bring people in. It’s great.

There is so much energy.”

The Y has 27 new or revised programs along with 14 completely new activities. Among those are Tabata, High Intensity Interval Trainings (HIIT) and Core.

“We have Core, which is a quick in and out, 35 minutes and done. It seems like people really like to have something that is quick so they can get on with the rest of their day,” Robson said.

Also beginning Monday is the Healthy Weight Loss Challenge. The 13-week pro-

gram is designed to equip people with the resources and offer the motivation to lose weight, get healthier and feel great.

“This is inspired by the NBC program the ‘Biggest Loser.’ Although the ‘Biggest Loser’ is a great program that has pushed people to be active and healthy, we want to make sure it is realistic for our Newton community,” Robson said.

Another popular addition at the Y has been Child Watch, a daycare area for children while their parents or caretakers workout.

“One of the things that has been really a great asset for the Newton Y here recently has been our added benefit of child care. We have Child Watch for members to drop their children off, ages 6 weeks up to 9 years old. They are getting taken care of, having fun and playing while their parents can go take care of themselves and get healthy,” Robson said.

The service is free to members and has a minimal cost of $2 for non-members.

Anytime Fitness has also seen a bump since the new year, especially since they are offering a special of $1 joining costs. The special includes enrollment fees and a key to the door which typically runs

“The great thing about Anytime Fitness is we are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we never close. The lights are always on and the music is always playing. If you want to work out on a holiday, when the weather is inclement, we are open. We are always open because all of our members have the key to the front door,” manager Mel Wohlgemuth said.

Another advantage of the 24-hour fitness center is once members are a part of the organization for 30 days, their keys open about 3,000 additional locations.

“Not only is it Anytime Fitness, it is kind of anywhere fitness,” Wohlgemuth said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama delivers his final State of the Union address on Tuesday night to a nation whose economy is far sturdier than it was when he took office in 2009.

Yet as 2016 begins, the stout job market is accompanied by tepid economic growth and stubbornly flat wages. More broadly, two things are on the rise, to the president’s dismay: global temperatures and Americans’ concerns about terrorism.

A snapshot of the country: THE BIG PICTURE — Friday’s December jobs report capped a strong year in which employers added 2.65 million positions. That made 2015 the second best year since 1999 for job gains, exceeded only in 2014.

For a third straight month, the unemployment rate was 5 percent. That’s the lowest three-month dip in eight years and half the 10 percent joblessness registered in October 2009, as the country began climbing out of the recession.

But average hourly pay seems stuck, sliding one cent last month to $25.24. That left the growth of average pay at 2.5 percent last year, below the 3.5 percent economists consider healthy.

The latest figures show the overall economy growing at a modest 2 percent annual rate in last year’s July to September quarter, though analysts expect improvement.

THE ECONOMY, FROM OTHER ANGLES — For Wall Street, 2015 was a roller coaster. Record highs in spring were followed by an abrupt summertime swoon, prompted by worries about the strong dollar’s impact on exports, China’s slowing economy and sagging oil prices.

By year’s end, the Dow Jones industrial average had faded by 2.2 percent, its first down year since 2008. And it began 2016 with steep declines fueled by continued China worries.

Through November, the most recent figure, inflation grew by 0.4 percent for the past 12 months.

That minuscule rise was well below the annual 2 percent increase the Federal Reserve prefers.

CONSUMER BONUSES — Oil prices slumped to their lowest levels since 2004. That meant bargains at the pump, where last week’s U.S. average for a gallon of regular gasoline was $2.03, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.

That was down slightly from a year earlier. A typical household saved $660 on its gasoline costs compared with 2014, the agency said.

Though the Federal Reserve raised a key interest rate for the first time in seven years, homebuyers’ mortgage interest rates remained at a relatively low 3.97 percent last week. That’s up slightly from a year earlier but well south of the historic 6 percent average.

Local & State News Skiing Continued from Page 1A “It’s nice when the snow is somewhat moist, not just dry and fluffy so you can kindof blaze a trail and stay on it,” Oldsen said.

Saturday’s event was the first of four clinics that will be held at Jacob Krumm in the coming weeks. Events on Jan. 23, Feb. 6 and Feb. 13 will run from 1 to 3 p.m., weather permitting. At each program, equipment is

available for all sizes on a first-come-first-serve basis. A limited number of snowshoes, skis and boots are available for a $10 equipment fee, or participants can bring their own equipment. Basic instruction is provided for beginners.

Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve is located north off of Interstate 80 at exit 179 (the Lynnville exit).

The preserve entrance is reached by going one mile east on Jacob Avenue, a gravel road.

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Jan. 11, 2016 | 3A Signs are also located on the route to help navigate.

The snowshoe and skiing event is held at the east entrance to the preserve, just east of the first location. A warming shelter is available.

hoping to hear how Sanders would encourage more cooperation in Washington, D.C. to accomplish small layers of reform.

“This would be better than some of the ridiculous claims we’ve been hearing,” Fruetel said.

Frank Harger, who also went to Republican candidate Marco Rubio’s recent Newton event, said he is look-

ing for anyone with a more conservative fiscal approach, regardless of party affiliation.

“I’m just tired of seeing so much government waste,” said Harger, who is 70. “It might not affect me as much, but it will sure affect my grandkids.”

Sleep apnea is a common breathing disorder in which breathing is obstructed for a period of time and sleep is disrupted. Researchers analyzed data on 2,400 people, and those who reported having sleep apnea (but weren’t treated for it) showed signs of mild cognitive impairment (problems with memory and thinking skills) about ten years earlier than those who slept well. The good news is that those who reported having sleep apnea but who used a CPAP (continuous positive air pressure machine didn’t exhibit earlier cognitive decline; their onset was identical to those without the condition.

Start the Press

They say it’s your birthday

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Jan. 11, 2016

My favorite childhood birthday party celebrated my fifth birthday. It could be because it’s so well documented in photographs, but when I look through those images I regain that sense of excitement. I wore a green velvet dress, a big smile and held out five outstretched fingers that revealed my age. In the background is a party table filled with loved ones, balloons, and beyond that, a stage that featured the ShowBiz Pizza band. This same venue would later become Chuck E. Cheese where we would celebrate the next generation of birthdays.

Perhaps the only comparable memory is my dad, playing air guitar and singing The Beatles’ “Birthday” song. A tradition he still practices to this day.

Growing up I had the more

desirable mid-January birthday compared to my brother — he was born on New Year’s Eve. While I contended the whole world was celebrating on his birthday, he always sought a more unique celebration.

As we mapped out ways to celebrate my son’s birthday in November, my husband and I recalled our own typical birthday parities. This led us to a “throwback” party that didn’t involve driving our son and a bunch of his friends to any type of an entertainment facility. We had pizza, cake, Nerf guns, video games and they were invited to spend the night. This old-school party was a hit in our book and theirs.

With age comes less debate about how to celebrate. My last big party was for the milestone of age 30 when I spent a fun

weekend painting the town red in Chicago. These days I’m just excited I get a paid day off and a card from the president of the company. Of course there’s a ton of love on social media because that’s an actual thing people do, and it’s fun. (Unless your name pops up as a birthday and I realize I don’t know you that well, you don’t participate in my posts, etc. and then I unfriend you on your birthday. Sorry, but it’s a good weeding out activity that doesn’t require extensive purging.)

Still, having a winter birthday is tough, and I’ll always be jealous of those who get to celebrate without risk of subzero temperatures, blizzards and illness.

My husband’s birthday in June brought back-to-back weekends of fun that not only didn’t

include the need for thermal gear, but also featured sunshine, beaches and poolside activities.

It hardly seems fair.

As I celebrate my birthday this weekend, I simply plan to spend some time with family and friends. My lone birthday request was to attend an Iowa basketball game as a family at Carver Hawkeye Arena, which my husband graciously granted.

Birthdays will likely never be as magical as they were when I was a 5-year-old girl, but the same things will make this celebration a happy one — family and friends. (And cake.) If I’m lucky I might even get a serenade from my dad.

Eye on America

Bettors beat the pundits

Another View

Review of 2015: Senate gets to work At year’s end, most Americans take stock of the previous 12 months and consider if they met their goals for the year. A review of one’s bank account, pay stub or job status and even a peek at the bathroom scale give folks a pretty good idea if they stayed true to their New Year’s resolutions.

By Chuck When the Grassley 114th Congress U.S. Senator gaveled to order this past January, it marked the first time since 2006 that Republicans controlled both the House and Senate. The new leadership vowed to live up to the promises and expectations of the 2014 midterm elections and restore order to the people’s branch.

The U.S. Senate succeeded in breathing life back into the world’s greatest deliberative body. In fact, the Senate held 163 roll call votes on floor amendments, compared to only 18 the previous year. Lawmakers performed oversight, drafted legislation, considered nominations and kept the federal government open for business.

Restoring regular order ought to be considered the rule, not the exception as far as I’m concerned.

Considering that public opinion polls rank Congress among the least popular institutions in society, lawmakers are obligated to work towards restoring credibility and fundamental trust in our system of self-government.

An appraisal of the first 12 months of the year reflects promises made and promises kept.

Congress prioritized results that matter and advanced public policies that have substantive consequence

on the daily lives of American families.

Three key items that had evaded resolution for years in Washington were advanced by the Republican-led Congress and signed into law this year, including: · approval of a five-year reauthorization of the federal transportation funding law that eluded bipartisan agreement for years. If there’s one item that gets people animated at town meetings, it’s maintaining reliable roads and bridges.

Rural Americans, in particular, typically commute longer distances in their own vehicles and need dependable roads to send and receive goods in the marketplace. The $305 billion agreement gives local and state governments the certainty they need to prioritize and move ahead with local infrastructure projects. · overhaul of the federal K-12 education law to restore decision-making to state and local educators, parents and teachers. Passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act replaces the top-down interventions that the federal Department of Education prescribed under the previous law known as No Child Left Behind.

When the federal bureaucracy in Washington meddles less, neighborhood schools can do more good by identifying and implementing innovative solutions that meet the needs of their students and local communities. · passage of a long-term fix to a flawed Medicare funding formula that for 17 years caused dire uncertainty for patients and doctors. The Medicare Access and Chip Reauthorization Act improves the reimbursement formula for providers serving Medicare patients. Considering that Medicare serves 531,209 Iowans and spends $4.3 billion per year in the state, fixing problems in the way Medicare reimburses and

incentivizes health care providers is a big deal for Iowa.

Looking ahead to 2016, the 114th Congress has even more ground to cover. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will continue to lead efforts for a balanced budget amendment, civil asset forfeiture reform and press for final passage of my bipartisan sentencing reform and corrections bill and my bill to make improvements to the juvenile justice system.

Other important work will require diligent oversight of the president’s my-way-or-the-highway mindset on immigration policy and prioritizing measures to end sanctuary laws, suspend risky resettlement of Syrian refugees into the United States and fix the nation’s foreign visa programs to protect U.S. workers, taxpayers and national security.

Keeping tabs on the people’s business requires a tenacious appetite to root out wrongdoing and mismanagement throughout the sprawling size and scope of the federal bureaucracy. My sights will be keenly focused on reining in overreach at the Environmental Protection Agency, particularly towards the implementation of the federal rule known as the Waters of the United States.

As an outspoken champion for rural America, whether it comes to roads, renewable energy, agriculture or health care, I stand strong to make sure the needs and challenges facing America’s heartland are heard loud and clear in Washington.

Despite declining gas prices and employment numbers moving in the right direction, too many households are struggling to get ahead and stay ahead. With the high costs of college, prescription medicines and the $19 trillion federal debt looming over the minds of hardworking families, the general mood gripping Americans today is rooted in uncertainty.

Want to know who the next president will be?

Don’t trust polls or pundits.

Betting odds at ElectionBettingOdds. com are the best predictor of who will By John Stossel win any election.

Pundits have a terrible track record. Last election, Newt Gingrich and Dick Morris forecast a Romney “landslide.”

Rush Limbaugh said, “All my thinking says Romney big. ... It’s not even close.”

Polls are better, but not much. That’s because you are not normal.

Since you read this column, you are different from most voters. You think a lot about politics.

Most Americans don’t.

People think about food, sex, money, friends, jobs, success, family, health, religion, sports, fashion, video games, money, sex, food (I know I repeated those last three, but that’s where most people’s heads are).

Presidential nominees are not yet taking up space in most people’s minds.

When a polling company reaches the rare person willing to talk to a stranger on the phone, chances are that person is not well-informed about politics. “Who do I support for the nomination?

Uh, who’s running? I’m embarrassed! Oh, yes, Donald Trump!”

Polls reveal only a snapshot of current opinion. In 2011, Rick Perry led the polls for the GOP nomination with Trumplike 31 percent support.

By October, Herman Cain was ahead. By December, Newt Gingrich.

But people who bet knew better. They picked Romney. Likewise, bettors anticipated the Obama victory that many polls and pundits missed.

Despite bettors’ good track record, few people know about the odds or how they’re created.

Here’s how: computers average bets made on “prediction markets,”

where traders buy and sell shares — like stocks — on each candidate. As I write, a share of Donald Trump winning the GOP nomination effectively costs 23 cents. If Trump wins, everyone who owns that share gets $1. That implies Trump has a 23 percent chance of winning the nomination.

Unfortunately, American politicians banned political prediction markets, with a few exceptions, like PredictIt.com.

But candidates’ odds are somewhat off on that site because bettors may not trade more than $850 per candidate.

The odds on the big unrestricted market in England, Betfair.com, are much more informative.

Betfair posts those odds in arcane gambling formulas, so producer Maxim Lott and I created the website ElectionBettingOdds.com. It shows the odds more clearly and will automatically update them every five minutes.

Right now, bettors know that Trump, even though he is ahead in polls, is unlikely to be the nominee. Marco Rubio is the favorite. Ted Cruz comes in second.

Trump and Jeb Bush are third and fourth.

Sadly, Hillary Clinton is a 95 percent favorite to win the Democratic nomination and has a 55 percent chance of becoming our next president. Yikes!

Think the odds are wrong? Put your money where your mouth is!

You could win money.

Prediction markets have a long track record.

University of North Carolina researchers found that from 1868 to 1940, prediction markets “did a remarkable job forecasting elections.” More than $100 million was bet, sometimes exceeding the value of shares changing hands on Wall Street. Newspapers ran headlines like “Betting Odds on Roosevelt Rise to 7 to 1.”

But the markets disappeared because America’s elites don’t like the idea of ordinary folks betting on important events.

Husband who uncovers wife’s affair is unsure how to cope DEAR ABBY: Thirty years ago when I was an Army officer, my wife “went crazy.” She had an affair and wound up getting pregnant. When I got out of the Army, she saw the man one time more before we moved and got pregnant again! We had a child together later.

When I found out my eldest son didn’t have the correct blood type, I confronted her and she admitted it. I then had all my children tested and realized only the last one is mine. I love the other two as well as my son, and I would not destroy his or the other boys’ lives.

My wife and I had counseling and it helped some. The problem is, I feel like my life has been destroyed and I don’t know what to do. — COUNSELING HELPED ... BUT DEAR C.H.B.: I assume you and your wife had joint counseling after you learned about her repeated infidelities.

While your faith in women may have been shaken, your life has not been “destroyed.” Feeling as you do, it’s time for you to PRIVATELY discuss your feelings with another licensed mental health professional. After that, you will be better equipped to rationally decide how to move forward.

DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law is getting married soon. Originally, she asked my 4-year-old daughter, “Emma,” to be her flower girl. Emma was very excited.

A few weeks ago, I asked when my daughter needed to be fitted for her dress. My sister-in-law then informed me they had chosen my niece to be the flower girl the day after she asked Emma. No one ever mentioned it to us.

It was left to me to tell my daughter, and she was devastated. She still cries about it. I am holding in so much anger and hurt that I have been avoiding the family so there won’t be any fighting close to the “big day.” Am I wrong

to be upset with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law for excluding my little girl and not telling her themselves? — MIFFED IN ALABAMA DEAR MIFFED: No, you’re not.

The way it was handled was extremely insensitive. Your sister-in-law owes you an explanation for what happened and your daughter an apology.

DEAR ABBY: I will be receiving some money from a court settlement soon. Only five friends were true friends and stood by me. They assisted me during the two years I was totally destitute. They all know I’m involved in a lawsuit and that I will receive compensation.

My question is, should I tell them how much I’m getting? I don’t like to lie, but the idea of revealing my monetary status makes me uncomfortable.

I never promised any of them money, so that’s not an issue. I will cheerfully compensate them all for their loyalty in ongoing daily ways.

What should I do or say when they ask how much I received? I don’t want to be perceived as rude. — UNCERTAIN IN THE SOUTH DEAR UNCERTAIN: The amount you will be receiving is really nobody’s business. It would not be rude to say that you’d prefer not to discuss it because it makes you uncomfortable, and change the subject.

1 $1 million Powerball prize won in Iowa, lottery says

DES MOINES — Iowa Lottery officials say a Powerball ticket sold in Sioux City is worth $1 million.

The ticket numbers matched the first five drawn Saturday night but didn’t match the Powerball number. It was bought at the Hy-Vee store at 3301 Gordon Drive.

The winner has not yet claimed the $1 million prize. No one matched all six Powerball numbers, and lottery officials expect the Powerball jackpot to hit $1.3 billion by Wednesday’s drawing.

Iowa Legislature expected to tackle education, water quality DES MOINES (AP) — As it begins a new session Monday, Iowa lawmakers will delve back into some longstanding issues, such as K-12 education spending, and take on some new topics, like Gov. Terry Branstad’s proposal to fund water quality efforts.

Here are some things to know ahead of the session.

EDUCATION SPENDING The Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-led House have long been at odds over how much money to spend on K-12 education, and the 2016 session will continue that pattern.

Legislative leaders have different calculations of how much new state revenue is available — they’re about $127 million apart — and it will impact how much they’re

willing to increase base funding to school districts. The issue delayed the state budget’s approval last session before leaders agreed on an increase.

Branstad vetoed some additional one-time spending for schools, a move that surprised many lawmakers and was criticized by Democrats.

Legislative leaders say they want to tackle education spending early this session, but it’s unclear how much each side is willing to compromise after Branstad’s veto.

WATER QUALITY FUNDING Branstad has unveiled a proposal to fund water quality initiatives with the help of an existing 1-cent sales tax for school infrastructure improvements, but it could hit a roadblock as lawmakers question whether to touch the money.

This Ain’t

The tax has generated about $3.2 billion for schools since 2008 and is set to expire in 2029. Under Branstad’s plan, the tax would be expanded by 20 years and a portion would be diverted to a water quality fund. Water quality in the state gained attention after Des Moines Water Works sued three Iowa counties over nitrate levels in water that utility officials say is linked to fertilizers washing out of farm fields.

Branstad calls the plan his most ambitious. Legislative leaders say they’re reviewing it, though Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, of Council Bluffs, has been critical.

MEDICAID OVERSIGHT Mounting Democratic criticism over Branstad’s proposal to privatize the state’s $4.2 bil-

No Bologna!

lion Medicaid program could translate into some legislative action this year.

The switch was scheduled to begin Jan. 1 but federal officials delayed it until March 1 because they believed the selected private companies weren’t ready to take over the work. An administrative law judge also recommended the state toss a contract with one of the companies, a move that’s already led to a lawsuit.

Legislation that would have created an oversight group to track the managed care switch did not advance last session though a legislative panel did emerge after the budget was passed. House Speaker-elect Linda Upmeyer, of Clear Lake, said oversight can be accomplished through existing legislative committees, but she’s open to considering the proposal.

EXPANDED TAX EXEMPTION The Department of Revenue recently expanded manufacturing tax exemption rules for businesses in the state, and there’s a possibility Democrats could challenge it.

The move expands the sales and use tax exemption for certain machinery and equipment used for manufacturing. Department officials say they needed to add clarity to the state’s tax rules.

Democrats criticized the changes because they were done through a procedural move that didn’t require a legislative vote.

They also criticized the potential financial impact to the state; the Legislative Services Agency estimates it will reduce state and local tax revenue by nearly $48 million in the fiscal year that begins in July.

‘Martian,’ ‘Revenant’ get awards boost with top Globes wins BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The 73rd annual Golden Globes had a few curveballs up its sleeves, and the biggest ones weren’t even from acerbic host Ricky Gervais, who kept the show alive with his biting quips and takedowns of the business that the awards were celebrating.

But, instead of just being another boozesoaked, starry year at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Sunday’s bleep-filled ceremony also gave a boost to two films that have been lingering on the edges of an undefined award season — the crowd-pleasing space romp “The Martian” and the brutal frontier epic “The Revenant,” mere days before the Academy Award nominees are revealed.

Alejandro Inarritu’s “The Revenant” won awards in the drama category for best picture and best actor for star Leonardo DiCaprio,

who seems to be on a path to an Oscar for his portrayal of the 1820s fur trapper Hugh Glass.

Inarritu, whose “Birdman” swept the Oscars last year, also beat out “The Martian’s” Ridley Scott for the best director award. “The Martian” did win best comedy film and best actor in a comedy for star Matt Damon.

The dubious placement of “The Martian” in the comedy category was a running joke throughout the evening — even Scott questioned it as he walked on stage to accept the best picture award.

But a win is a win, and although this awards season is far from predetermined, neither “The Martian” nor “The Revenant” were considered real frontrunners, especially against nominees like “Spotlight,” ‘’Carol,” ‘’Mad Max: Fury Road,” and “The Big Short.”

“Spotlight,” the factbased drama about The Boston Globe’s investigation into sex abuses

in the Catholic Church has been the one favorite throughout the season in both critics and guild awards. While it is considered a lock for a Best Picture nomination on Thursday, the film apparently did not win the favor of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and received no awards on Sunday.

Adam McKay’s star-studded financial collapse comedy “The Big Short” also walked away empty handed, despite some rising awards momentum lately with recent Producers Guild and Writers Guild nominations. Critics darlings “Carol” and “Mad Max: Fury Road” were surprisingly shut out as well.

But all will come into focus on Thursday when Oscar nominees are announced. Voting for Oscar nominations closed on Friday, but the campaigning won’t end until the actual ceremony on Feb. 28. Any added momentum helps, even if Gervais joked at the start of the show that the award is “a bit of metal that some confused old journalist wanted to give you to meet you in person and take a selfie.”

Gervais’ snark aside, the Golden Globes have worked for years to shed an image of eccentric selections made by a group of little-known international journalists.

The Globes have instead grown into one of the most popular award show broadcasts of the year, thanks to increasingly credible nominees, its trademark relaxed atmosphere and its unique position as a major awards show that honors

both film and television.

Despite some outliers in the nominee ranks, the film acting awards went to a more expected lot.

Jennifer Lawrence won best actress in a comedy for “Joy,” her third Golden Globe win for a David O. Russell film, who she thanked effusively in her speech. She also beat out her friend Amy Schumer in the category.

“She’s gonna be fine,” Lawrence said backstage.

“She’s funny and hilarious and will win many things.”

In what is probably the year’s most competitive category, best actress in a drama, Brie Larson won out over Cate Blanchett (“Carol”) and Saoirse Ronan (“Brooklyn) for her affecting performance as a woman in captivity in “Room.”

Last year’s winner Julianne Moore (“Still Alice”) went on to win the Oscar as well.

Awards race dark horse “Steve Jobs” also got some love on Sunday

with wins for Kate Winslet, for best supporting actress, and Aaron Sorkin, for the screenplay.

Sylvester Stallone knocked out some heavyweight competition, too, in the supporting actor category with a win for “Creed,” beating out Idris Elba (“Beasts of No Nation”), Michael Shannon (“99 Homes”), Mark Rylance (“Bridge of Spies”), and Paul Dano (“Love & Mercy”). The crowd greeted his win with a standing ovation.

“I want to thank my imaginary friend Rocky Balboa for being the best friend I ever had,” said Stallone, whose only other Golden Globes nod was also for portraying the Italian Stallion in “Rocky.”

Despite some diversity in the nominee ranks, the film acting awards were still won exclusively

by Caucasians, rousing some worry that the Oscars may follow suit despite increased scrutiny after last year’s #Oscars-

SoWhite criticisms.

Best foreign language film went to Hungary’s Laszlo Nemes’ “Son of Saul,” a harrowing view of life inside Auschwitz, and best animated film went to Pixar’s acclaimed “Inside Out.” The big television winners included USA’s “Mr. Robot,” Taraji P. Henson for “Empire” and Jon Hamm for “Mad Men.” The Gervais-led Globes evidenced little of the seriousness that marks most award shows, or the teary-eyed acceptance speeches. Instead, the Globes had a particularly unraveled atmosphere that included Jonah Hill dressed as the bear from “The Revenant,” copious discussion of “Transparent” star Jeffrey Tambor’s male anatomy by Gervais, and much buzzing about Sean Penn’s escapade with Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Morgan Maher (34) guards Oskaloosa’s Andy Steiner (10) out front during the second half of Friday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game at Newton. The Cardinals posted their sixth straight win with a 74-55 decision over the visiting Indians.

Newton boys continue to roll, deck Oskaloosa

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Finding their way in a new offense this season, Newton High’s Cardinal boys have been relying on strong defensive play to hold opponents at bay during a winning streak.

“Our offensive ball movement was great tonight,” Newton junior Morgan Maher said after the Cardinals recorded their sixth straight victory

Friday. The Cardinals had four players, including Maher, score in double digits in a 74-55 win over Oskaloosa.

First-year head coach Bill Liley has pointed to the defense as a big factor in the run to a 7-2 overall mark. He saw something a bit different in his team’s Little Hawkeye Conference win at home Friday against the Indians.

“Tonight, our defense wasn’t over the top good, but the kids played with a ton of energy, and they were

hustling,” Liley said of the Cardinals.

“When you’re a work in progress, it can switch from defense to offense as keys in games.

“We executed well offensively. Oskaloosa shot the ball well, but we shot it better.”

Maher opened the game with a basket for Newton. Connor Gholson drained two 3-pointers and hit two of three free throws to push the Cardinals’ lead to 10-5. Up 16-11, Garrett Stur-

tz got into the scoring column for the Cardinals on back-to-back baskets.

By the end of the first quarter, Newton held a 24-16 lead over the Indians. Drew Stout scrambled for a loose basketball, made a pass to Maher and Maher delivered a layup at the other end. The Cardinals led 31-19 at the 4:41 mark of the second quarter.

Newton girls bounce back with LHC win

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Ryanne Rausch (4) draws two defenders as she eyes the basket with a drive along the baseline into the lane during Friday’s home game against Oskaloosa. Newton brushed back the Indians for a 66-40 win in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

Coming off a tough conference loss on the road at Grinnell, Newton High’s Cardinal girls wanted to bounce back at home Friday. They were able to ring the victory bell in front of a large home crowd, but it took a quarter of play to get on track.

The Cardinals shook off the visiting Oskaloosa Indians on a 23-9 run in the final six minutes of the second quarter on their way to a 66-40 victory. Newton evened its Little Hawkeye Conference mark to 2-2.

“We are striving to play consistently for four quarters. The first quarter wasn’t there, but the girls worked through it together and got the job done,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said.

Winless Oskaloosa forged a 9-9 tie with Newton after one quarter of play. A basket by Jackie Reif put the Indians up

15-13 at the 6:26 mark of the second period.

Hannah Rhoads tied it again for Newton, and then back-to-back steals

by Ryanne Rausch and Alex Hutchinson resulted in fastbreak baskets to give the Cardinals the lead for good. When Oskaloosa’s Paige Howard connected for a 3-pointer, Rhoads responded in kind for Newton.

Newton commanded a 36-24 halftime lead and was up 47-29 after three periods. The Cardinals answered any and all Oskaloosa scoring threats down the stretch.

The Cardinals shot 43 percent, 25-of-58, from the field and limited the Indians to 36 field goal attempts. Oskaloosa hit 14 of the shots for 39 percent.

Newton held a 29-20 rebounding edge. The Cardinals sank 11-of-22 from the free-throw line in the game and the Indians downed 9-of-17 at the line.

PCM boys fall behind early, lose to Gilbert

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Every time the Prairie City-Monroe boys basketball team got close, Gilbert had an answer.

A strong first quarter earned the Tigers a lead, and the visitors kept the Mustangs at arms length the entire way as Gilbert led wire-to-wire during a 57-52 Heart of Iowa Conference game.

Logan Gilman had 25 points and 11 rebounds and Luke Greiner added 14 points and 12 boards, but no other player scored more than five points or had more than two rebounds. Only four players scored for PCM. On the flip side, nine different players scored for Gilbert, which won its sixth straight game.

“Every time we got close, they would answer right back,” PCM coach Fred Lorensen said. “We gave them way too many easy buckets, and we just can’t do that.”

Gilbert jumped out to an 18-8 lead in the first quarter.

PCM got the deficit to five after one period following a 3-pointer by freshman Andrew Van Ryswyk.

Gilman got the Mustangs even closer on the first possession of the second quarter, but Gilbert answered with backto-back buckets to push it back to seven. PCM never got closer than six the rest of the half and trailed by 11 at the break.

“They made some shots early, but we have been down early a lot this year,” Lorensen said.

“I don’t know what the answer is. You can’t put yourself in holes like that.”

Third quarter drought plagues Mustang girls

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The offense continued to struggle for the Prairie City-Monroe girls’ basketball team on Friday night.

But a defensive letdown in the first few minutes of the second half is where Gilbert grabbed momentum for good during a Heart of Iowa Conference contest.

The Tigers turned a one-point halftime lead into a nine-point advantage in the first two minutes of the third quarter, and the Mustangs never recovered during a 40-31 home loss.

Xary Nunez-Hiraldo came into the night averaging less than six points per game but her back-to-back 3-pointers early in the third quarter created the separation the Tigers needed to pull away.

Nunez-Hiraldo hit all four of her 3-pointers in the game and scored a game-high 14 points for Gilbert. Only three other Tigers scored in the game, but it was enough to keep Gilbert in second place in the HOIC. “It’s a case where we lost people.

We got out of position,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said of the back-to-back 3-pointers. “We have to get better at that. It’s getting to the point where we can no longer say that we are still learning. We should not be losing players on the perimeter. We need to start having some ownership in what we do.”

PCM led 7-6 after one quarter but trailed 17-16 at halftime. The 14-7

surplus for Gilbert in the third allowed the Tigers to pull away. Gilbert won the fourth quarter, 9-8.

“They took a one-point lead and then bumped it up to an eight or nine lead within about 2 minutes,” Lindsay said. “You can’t give up runs like that and hope to survive. You can’t just hope to keep fighting back, especially when we aren’t scoring that well offensively.”

The Mustangs hit one 3-pointer, made only 2-of-10 from the free-throw line and missed plenty of shots in the lane in the loss. They also turned it over 15 times.

“Offensively is where we are still struggling,” Lindsay said. “We have a lot of the right ideas. We have a ton of open shots. Things look a lot better when the ball goes in. We just have to stick with it and keep working on it.”

PCM got as close as six following a bucket inside by Bailey Brodersen in the first minute of the fourth frame, but Nunez-Hiraldo banked in a 3-pointer to push Gilbert’s lead back to nine and then Sarah Hinners scored back-toback baskets to finish things off.

Sarah Hinners had a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. She came into the game averaging 7.6 points and six rebounds per tilt.

“They stayed after it. I can’t fault the effort,” Lindsay said. “They are giving everything they have. If we miss open shots, that’s part of the game.

“We are still committing careless turnovers, and we’ll continue to get MUSTANGS | 8B

SIGOURNEY — Sophomore Jarod Nichols had a double-double and senior Colin Lourens finished with a team-high 21 points as the Colfax-Mingo boys basketball team won its fourth straight game Friday night.

The Tigerhawks used a half-court trap to grab control of the South Iowa Cedar League game and cruised to a 74-51 victory.

“It was a really good game

by our guys,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said.

“We played extremely hard on defense, blocked out and rebounded well.

OffenLourens sively, we executed well and got a lot of really good shots.”

Nichols scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, while Lourens added eight boards to his 21 points.

Mustangs win four titles, place third at host tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Junior Xavier Miller had the best match of the season, freshman Jarron Trausch wrestled the smartest bout of his young high school career and freshman Lucas Roland was in flat out “beast mode,” according to Prairie City-Monroe coach Cory Waddell.

Miller, Trausch and Roland all won their respective weight classes at the PCM Wrestling Invitational on Saturday.

Freshman Wes Cummings, despite not having his best weekend, also claimed the individual championship at 152 pounds as the Mustangs placed third in the 15-team tournament.

Roland and Trausch went 4-0 with four pins at 138 and 170, respectively, while Miller and Cummings went 3-0 at 145 and 152. PCM also got third-place finishes from Jakeb Fenton (106) and Chace Palm (113) and a sixth-place tally from Brycen Rogers at 126.

Westwood won the team title with 187.5 points. Knoxville (158) edged PCM (150) by eight points, while Gilbert (131) and Pleasantville (123.5) rounded out the top five. Colfax-Mingo tied Carlisle for ninth with 85 points and Lynnville-Sully finished 13th with 60.

“Overall, I was extremely pleased. I was hoping for a top four, and we got third,” Waddell said. “Six of the 11 kids we had here were in the top three.

“Lucas Roland was a beast today. He only went to the second round once. He was on.”

The Tigerhawks’ best finisher was freshman Cauy Furgison, who went 3-0 with two pins and a major decision to win the 106-pound title.

Sophomore Colton Lourens also was third at 182, sophomore Will Dunsbergen was fifth at 145, and senior Garrett Chapman and junior Adam Teed placed sixth at 285 and 132, respectively.

“I don’t think we did too bad as a team. We brought nine guys and six finished in the top eight,” Colfax-Mingo coach Erin Hume said. “The upperclassmen could have performed a little better, but overall, it was a good day.”

Lynnville-Sully’s best finish came at 182 where Jack Hardin took fourth. Sage Zylstra also placed fifth at 138 and Max Knapp and Josh Dunsbergen was sixth at 160 and 120, respectively.

“The kids are continuing to show progress and we are continuing to work hard.

We hope our peak occurs at the sectional tournament,” Lynnville-Sully coach Steve Squires said. “We aren’t concerned with wins and losses.

We just wanted to get better, and I think we did that today.”

Roland was impressive in winning his four matches by pin. His longest match came in the semifinals where he defeated Zylstra a minute into the second period.

Roland (24-2) needed 23 seconds to win his firstround match, 29 seconds in the quarterfinals and then took less than a minute to pin Saydel’s Oscar Ruiz.

“I finally put it all together.

This was my first individual high school championship. I can’t describe how this feels,” Roland said. “I am pretty close to where I need to be.”

Miller (24-4) was the tourney’s two seed. He won his first match by fall then advanced to the championship match with a major decision.

In the title match, Miller defeated Pleasantville’s Griffen McBride, 5-2. McBride (9-2) was a state qualifier last year.

Trausch (23-3) pinned his first three opponents in the

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe freshman Lucas Roland, right, battles Lynnville-Sully’s Sage Zylstra during a semifinal match at 138 pounds Saturday at the PCM Invitational. Roland went 4-0 with four pins to win the individual title, while Zylstra was fifth in the weight class.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo freshman Cauy Furgison, top, went 3-0 with two pins and a major decision and claimed the 106-pound championship at the PCM Invitational on Saturday. Furgison is now 24-2 on the season.

first round. The championship match was a little tougher against Westwood’s Jeremiah Adams (27-5), but Trausch stuck him with 19 seconds to go in the match.

“He took excellent shots.

He was calm and didn’t panic when it was 1-1,” Waddell said.

Cummings, who is ranked No. 8 at Class 2A 152, improved to 18-1 on the season.

He won his first match by fall and then edged Pleasantville’s Sawyer Phillips, 3-2, in the semifinals. In the championship match, Cummings beat Saydel’s Devin Van Houten, 5-2.

“I have had better days, but I came out with wins. That’s all that matters,” Cummings said. “I just need to keep improving.”

Fenton improved to 17-11 on the season but is 13-2 at 106.

Furgison improved to 24-2 on the season after earning two pins and a major decision.

His first match took 40 seconds and then he advanced to the finals with a pin in 2:22.

Furgison defeated Westwood’s Brennan Brown (237) 10-2 in the championship bout. It was the first time he went the distance this season.

Lourens (14-8) had three pins on his way to third place at 182. He defeated Hardin by fall in the first period of their third-place match.

Lourens avenged a loss to Hardin that came this past Thursday during dual competition. Hardin had two pins Saturday.

Another area wrestler to avenge losses was Lynnville-Sully’s Josh Dunsbergen. Dunsbergen placed sixth at 120 on Saturday, along the way defeating Colfax-Mingo’s Ty Carlson, 6-2.

Carlson was 2-0 against Dunsbergen coming into the weekend.

The 120-pound bracket featured three ranked wrestlers and three others who have won at least 20 matches this season.

Teed earned two pins on the day for the Tigerhawks.

Chapman got off to a strong start with a win by fall against 1A No. 10 Will Anthony of Pleasantville. He ended his day with three straight losses by though.

PCM returns to action at 6 p.m. Thursday when it travels to Saydel to face the Eagles and CMB in a HOIC dual.

Colfax-Mingo hosts English Valleys, Tri-County/ Montezuma and North Mahaska at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Lynnville-Sully travels to BGM at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Baylor upsets No. 13 Iowa State in Hilton AMES (AP) — Nobody ever seems to beat Iowa State at home. Nobody but Baylor, which once again stunned the Cyclones in Ames.

Johnathan Motley had a career-high 27 points and added 13 rebounds to help Baylor upset No. 13 Iowa State 94-89 on Saturday, handing the Cyclones their first home loss.

Taurean Prince had 18 points and 10 rebounds and Lester Medford added 16

points and 11 assists for the Bears (12-3, 2-1 Big 12), who rallied from 11 down in the second half to beat the Cyclones on the road for the second year in a row.

Georges Niang scored 22 points and Monte Morris had 21 for Iowa State (12-3, 1-2), which has lost two of three after an 11-1 start.

“We got punched in the mouth. We’ve got to do a better job of responding,” Niang said.

Lynnville-Sully squads dial up non-conference victories

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News LE GRAND — Playing on the road and out of conference didn’t faze Lynnville-Sully High’s girls and boys on the basketball court Saturday against East Marshall’s Mustang squads.

The Class 1A 11th-ranked Hawk girls pushed their mark to 13-0 with a 71-46 win over the Mustang girls.

Lynnville-Sully’s boys improved to 10-1 on the season, pulling out a 5552 victory.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls led 19-11 after one quarter, and they kept going full-steam ahead to lead 39-26 at halftime. The Hawks doubled up on the Mustangs in the third quarter, 20-10, and finished on a 12-10 fourth quarter scoring edge.

“Another good win for us,” L-S girls’ head coach Jerry Hulsing said.

“I thought in the second half we did a good job on the defensive end in keeping them in front of us and were better in our rotation. On offense, we passed the ball well and were able to get good looks plus our defense created some easy baskets.”

Kasiah Ehresman paced the Hawk girls with 21 points, five steals, seven assists and five rebounds. Marissa Vos poured in 19 points and handled five rebounds. Mariah Vos added 10 points and controlled eight rebounds.

Lynnville-Sully shot 48 percent, 21of-43, from the field and cashed in on 25-of-36 free throw attempts. Camyrn

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Rylan James, right, puts up a shot inside in a home game earlier this season. He helped Lynnville-Sully beat host East Marshall Saturday.

Russell scored seven points while Makenzy Rozendaal and McKinley Conover each had four points.

Emily Terrones was the lone Mustang girl to reach double-digit scoring with 11 points. East Marshall was 19of-48, 38 percent, from the field and hit 5-of-11 at the free-throw line.

Lynnville-Sully’s boys found themselves in a different situation. They trailed East Marshall by two points,

12-10, at the end of the opening eight minutes. They had to overcome a 2921 halftime deficit to claim their win.

The Hawks began their comeback with an 18-14 run in the third quarter. They scored 16 points in the fourth period, holding the Mustangs to nine points.

“The guys hung in there,” Hawk boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “We couldn’t get much going

in the first half. We did a better job getting to loose balls and offensive rebounds in the second half. That was just enough to get us the win.”

Two big factors in the game were inside players Kyle Van Dyke and Rylan James for the Hawks. Van Dyke had a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. James tossed in 12 points. The Hawks had a 33-24 rebounding edge over the Mustangs.

Jesse Van Wyk scored nine points, grabbed seven rebounds, made three steals and dished out three assists.

Tyler Van Zante added five points.

Scoring three points each for Lynnville-Sully were Canyon Kuhlmann, Sage Ehresman and JohnTrettin.

The Hawk boys shot 43 percent, 21-of-49, from the field and hit 10of-20 free throw tries. The Mustangs went 16-of-45 from the field and 13of-16 a the line.

Dru Boliver scored 20 points to lead East Marshall. Tyler DeBondt had 14 points.

Lynnville-Sully’s teams host Sigourney in a South Iowa Cedar League East-West doubleheader Tuesday.

The Hawk boys are second in the East division at 6-1 and Sigourney is second in the West at 4-4. The Hawk girls are atop the East at 10-0 and Sigourney is tied for second in the West at 6-3 with Belle Plaine.

Cardinal bowling teams beat host Norwalk

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — Newton High’s girls made the most of adverse bowling alley lane conditions at Val Lanes to remain undefeated. The Cardinal girls defeated host Norwalk, 2,078-1,705 Saturday.

The Newton boys chalked up another victory in dual action, beating Norwalk, 2,677-2,332. Both Cardinal teams had strong pin advantages following the individual games against Norwalk.

“They bowled on very tough lane conditions where the lanes were really dry and the oil pattern only had oil down the middle of the lane,” Newton head coach Brett Jacobs said. “The girls’ scores were down again, but this time due to the lane conditions at Val Lanes and the bowlers having a tough time adjusting to them.”

Jacobs said the boys continue to show improvement in their wins, which is what he

Boys Continued from Page 1B The Indians weren’t ready to go away. Oskaloosa’s 5-foot-7inch sophomore guard Spencer Tucker ripped two 3-pointers to cut the margin to six in a minute’s span. Gholson had a steal and his second “dunk” of the period with 48 seconds left and Sturtz nailed two free throws to give the Cardinals a 39-27 halftime lead.

Oskaloosa hung around in the third quarter, down 49-39 with a little more than two minutes left in the period. An 8-3 run by Newton pushed the flood gates open and it continued in the fourth quarter.

Jwan Roush scored on a fastbreak layup followed by a threepoint play by Maher. When Spencer nailed another three for the Indians, Maher answered by draining a trey just ahead of the third-quarter buzzer. Roush had two baskets in the first two min-

Alicia Miller had a 267 (121-146) and Kaytie Hughes scored a 255 series (117-138).

Alyssa White finished with a 227 (114-113).

The Newton girls led Norwalk, 1,390-1,108, going into the Baker Games. Newton had scores of 131, 156, 138, 133 and 130 for the Baker Games.

Miller finished a 405 on games of 172 and 233. Shaiden Simmons had a 350 (181-169).

Sam Supino finished with a 342 (156-186) and Reece

Thurmond had a 332 (153179). Cutter Benac had a 285 (149-136).

“Our practice intensity is key for us,” Sturtz said after the game.

“It really has been good, which has carried over into games for us. This offense gets everyone involved and we create a lot of open looks for each other in it.”

Gholson led the Cardinals with 21 points with Maher hitting for 14 points. Sturtz tallied 12 points and Roush added 10 points. Newton downed 12-of20 free throw attempts.

Tucker hit six 3-pointers for a team-high 18 points for Oskaloosa. Wade Votroubek added 16, and Jack Moore had 10.

The Indians were 7-of-11 at the free-throw line.

“If it wasn’t against my team, I would have enjoyed Tucker’s performance. We were focused on defending their interior players more tonight,” Liley said. “We made adjustments at halftime and did a good job of shutting them down inside. We allowed Tucker to get going.”

Newton is 3-1 in Little

Visiting teams claim NFL wildcard game victories HOUSTON (AP) — Knile Davis had a 106-yard kickoff return and the Kansas City defense forced five turnovers to cruise to the Chiefs’ first playoff win since 1994, a 30-0 wildcard victory over the Houston Texans.

On the opening kickoff, Davis got three good blocks around the 10-yard line and then simply outran the rest of the defenders for the second-longest kickoff return touchdown in postseason history.

The defense took over after that, harassing Brian Hoyer into a fumble and three of his career-high four interceptions before halftime to help the Chiefs (12-5) take a 13-0 lead at halftime.

The Chiefs have won 11 straight games.

Steelers 18, Bengals 16

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading to Denver. The Cincinnati Bengals are heading to another long offseason after a meltdown as ugly and ill-timed as it was complete.

Chris Boswell kicked a 35yard field goal with 14 seconds remaining in the AFC wildcard game Saturday night.

Pittsburgh (11-6) moved into field goal position after a pair of 15-yard penalties on the Bengals, one on linebacker Vontaze Burfict and another on Adam Jones after Burfict hit defenseless Steelers wide receiver Antonio The Bengals (12-5) appeared to be in position for their first postseason win in 25 years before Jeremy Hill’s fumble gave

Pittsburgh one last shot.

Packers 35, Redskins 18 LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers recovered from a poor start to throw for two touchdowns, Eddie Lacy and James Starks each ran for a score, and the Green Bay Packers came back to beat the Washington Redskins 35-18 in an NFC wildcard game Sunday.

Seahawks 10, Vikings 9 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Blair Walsh’s 27-yard field goal try into the frigid wind hooked left with 22 seconds remaining, handing Seattle a victory over stunned Minnesota in a wildcard round playoff game in below-zero weather that tied for the third-coldest NFL game on record.

Girls Continued from Page 1B Rausch came off the bench to score 14 points for Newton. Rhoads led the Cardinals with 15 points and eight other players scored for Newton. Megan Pressgrove came off the bench and claimed six rebounds. Jessica Reynolds had five rebounds and eight points.

“It felt good coming off the bench tonight. I got a feel for the game before going in and I’ve been working on my confidence. It helped I made some layups tonight, too,” Rausch said with a smile.

“We worked through the rough start. We picked up our intensity, starting with our press.”

Alexis Westercamp scored 10 points as the Indians’ top scorer.

Newton improved to 7-4 overall. The Cardinals take on Class 4A 11thranked Pella Tuesday in LHC action at Pella.

Newton’s junior varsity led Oskaloosa 18-0 early in the second quarter Friday, and notched a 42-32 win. Randi Walters nailed three 3-pointers on her way to a team-high 11 points. Ali Bestell tossed in 10 points.

Versteegh is 113-pound champ at Ottumwa

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OTTUMWA — Hunter Versteegh put the finishing touches on a tournament championship with a major decision, 18-7, against Iowa City High’s Jacob Powers.

The Newton High senior’s win capped a 5-0 match run on the wrestling mat at Saturday’s Ottumwa Invitational.

Versteegh claimed the 113-pound championship and improved to 20-7 on the season. His was the only title for the Cardinals at the tournament in which the team finished fifth with 116 points.

Ottumwa won its home tournament with 190.5 points followed by Iowa City High at 118.5 points. Des Moines Lincoln scored 137 points for third and Des Moines East was fourth at 120 points. Sigourney placed sixth at 112 followed by Burlington with 97.5 points and Fairfield with 96 points.

Newton had three wrestlers in position to win championship matches and three advanced to the third-place matches in their weight divisions. The Cardinals came away with two second-place finishes and three fourthplace finishes.

“Hunter had a great day, winning first place at 113. He did a great job of wrestling the

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Hooking up to get a takedown in a match Thursday at home is Newton High senior Hunter Versteegh, who is ranked 10th in Class 3A at 113 pounds. He went undefeated to win his division at Saturday’s Ottumwa Invitational.

matches from the positions he wanted to be in,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said. “He was in control of his opponents throughout the day, and did a fantastic job.”

Versteegh began his day on the mats with a 15-0 technical fall over Des Moines East’s Desean Giboo in the second period. He pinned Josh Enloe of Ottumwa in 37 seconds

and in round three, Versteegh chalked up a 14-1 major decision against Ryan Munoz of Des Moines Lincoln. It took 2 minutes, 13 seconds for Versteegh to pin Sigourney’s Luke House, which put the Cardinal wrestler in the position to win the 113-pound title.

Junior Tanner Petro went 3-2 to take second at 170 and

has a 4-4 overall mark for the season. Petro began with a pin of Iowa City High’s Joe Ring in 1:50, and then he lost by a 14-0 major decision to Burlington’s Spencer Sherwood.

Petro rebounded with a pin of Brock Newton of Des Moines Lincoln in 1:51. Petro lost by a fall in the third period to Des Moines East’s Tanner Tilotson. He finished the day with a pin of Ottumwa’s Joseph Weaver in 3:32.

“Tanner did a good job competing all day long,” Swedenhjelm said.

Newton senior Duncan Lee has been the team’s starter at 195 this season and had a couple wins at 220. At Ottumwa, Lee dropped down to the 182-pound division and took second, losing a 9-5 decision to Class 3A fourth-ranked Isaiah Cox of Ottumwa.

“Duncan made his debut at 182 pounds Saturday. He is wrestling well for his first time at a new weight, so I am excited to see how he progresses once he gets comfortable there,” Swedenhjelm said. “Right now, the plan is to keep competing at 182.”

Lee rolled to a 13-2 major decision over Brock Hunger of Iowa City High and then defeated Adolphe Simon of Des Moines Lincoln, 9-2.

He posted a 7-1 decision over Burlington’s Mason Hartman

to put him in the 182-pound championship bracket.

Lee faced Class 1A ninthranked Kaleb Reeves of Sigourney. He notched a 15-6 major decision over Reeves to move into the title match against Cox, who is 22-0. Lee is 29-3 on the season.

Senior Parker Schuster won his first three matches at 138, losing his final two matches for place fourth. Ross Hull, a sophomore, went 2-3 — winning his first two matches — to take fourth at 120 for Newton. Freshman Blake Cockerton won his last two matches to claim fourth on a 2-3 day at 106 pounds.

Newton’s sophomore Tristin Langmaid and junior Alex Miller placed fifth at 152 and 285, respectively. Taking sixth at the tournament were freshman Jaise Bulling at 195, senior Haley Walker at 160, freshman Norbert Riyazimana at 145 and junior Jon Lawton at 132.

Senior Jacob Smith was seventh at 220 and junior Aren Sorensen took seventh in the 126-pound division.

The gap narrowed to four quickly in the third quarter following a 3-pointer by Gilman, two free throws by Austin Brown and another bucket by Gilman.

But every time the Mustangs hit a shot, Gilbert converted a bucket of its own at the other end.

Greiner scored inside to make it 35-31, but Gilbert (8-1 overall, 6-1 in HOIC) scored seven straight to push it back to 11. Gilman nailed a jumper at the buzzer to get it within single digits heading into the fourth quarter.

The two teams traded buckets early in the fourth. That changed when PCM scored six straight to close the gap to three.

Elijah Sperfslage canned a 3-pointer to get PCM within two, but Sperfslage fouled Ryan Blum on 3-point attempts the possession before and the possession after the trey.

Blum made 4-of-6 from the line, hit four 3-pointers in the game and finished with 20 points.

Gilbert made 3-of-6 from the line in the final 36 seconds to close it out.

“We just need to get the mindset that we need to play really hard for 32 minutes,” Lorensen said.

“I liked our effort to get back in the game, but we need to do that for the whole 32 minutes.”

PCM (7-3, 5-2) got as close as two one other time, but couldn’t get over the hump. The loss dropped the Mustangs out of first place in the HOIC. After Gilman’s 25 and Greiner’s 14, freshman Andrew Van Ryswyk and Sperfslage each scored five and senior Austin Brown added three.

Greiner and Gilman combined for eight of the Mustangs’ 13 assists, too.

“We missed a bunch of free throws and missed too many shots right in front of the basket,” Lorensen said. “We have to have guys get in there and scrap to get more rebounds.

“We are undersized, for sure, but I thought there were several times where they seemed like they wanted it worse than we did. They were diving after loose balls, and we were standing around watching.”

better with that. I like that we are trying to be created with our passes, but there are times we have to take what’s given.”

Junior Kayla Jennings had 10 points, seven rebounds, four assists and four steals to lead the Mustangs, while junior Katie Vande Wall had eight points and eight boards. Junior Jayci Vos scored six points, grabbed four boards and dished out four assists.

Lindsay had limited roster options in the first half as juniors Rachel Stafford and Kaylee Townsend were hampered by foul trouble.

Seven players scored.

A win would have pushed the Mustangs (6-5 overall, 5-3 in HOIC) into a tie for second in the HOIC. Instead, Gilbert improved to 7-5 overall and 7-1 in the league.
