Wayfinding signs popping up in Newton

Environmental groups file complaint over contrary pipeline information

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News DES MOINES — A 13-member environmental coalition — led by the Iowa Chapter of Sierra Club — filed a complaint Wednesday with the Iowa Utilities Board attempting to convince the regulatory body to block Texas-based Energy Transfer Partner’s ability to file a permit to build a segment of the Dakota Access Pipeline through the state of Iowa.

The coalition claims ETP and DAPL failed to give proper notice to landowners and county communities before conducting statewide informational meetings in December, as required by Iowa Code.

The proposed 1,134-mile, 30inch diameter oil pipeline will connect the North Dakota Bakken and Three Forks crude oil fields with refineries and other

gulf coast accessible pipelines from Patoka, Ill. Approximately 33.73 miles of the planned 343.43 mile Iowa segment will go through Jasper County. According to documents provided

by ETP, Jasper County will house the most piping of any Iowa county.

In the complaint, Cedar Rapids attorney Wallace L. Taylor alleges DAPL officials presented two contradictory pipeline burial depths to members of the public.

Taylor claims in published public notices announcing the informational meetings, the energy company states a minimum pipeline depth of 60 inches on agricultural lands. During the meeting presentation, DAPL representatives stated a minimum depth of 48 inches. Copies of both the meeting presentation and the public notice were submitted Wednesday along with the complaint.

“The above described mis-

representation in the published notice could have led landowners and members of the public to believe that the pipeline would be deep enough so that it would not damage drainage tile or otherwise impact farmland,” Taylor said. “Thus, to not object to the pipeline project or to not attend an informational meeting.

Therefore, this was a significant defect in the process adversely affecting landowners and member of the public.”

Counsel for the coalition also alleges DAPL did not send landowners notice changing the date of a Dec. 2 informational meeting in Wapello County to Dec. 16 by certified mail. This notice is required by Iowa Code. The coalition questioned if all landowners were personally notified about the meetings, citing a letter of objection filed with the

October fundraiser was for Rock Hall of Fame and more

Brenda Lee. Elvin Bishop. All of them have been inducted into the Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Thanks to an October fundraiser in Newton, the hall has inched closer to displaying its collections of rock history in a more impressive way.

The Oct. 25 “Rock the Rink” benefit concert, held at the West Gate Coliseum roller-skating rink in Newton, brought in enough revenue to make two large contributions.

A group, which included Newton resident and longtime oldies rock organizer Dennis Farland, presented a check to the Iowa Rock & Roll Hall Music Association for about $3,000, and set up a $500 scholarship fund for Newton High

School Class of 2015 music and band students.

“We were going to contribute to the IRRMA scholarship fund for this year, but they’ve already met that fund,” Farland said. “So we made a donation to them and are using the rest here in Newton.”

Farland said the Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is housed in a small, rented building in Arnolds Park on the east shore of West Okoboji Lake, and is fundraising to build a permanent structure in that area. The rented facility “needs work” in terms of disrepair, Farland said, and much of the memorabilia is in storage, with no room for it to be displayed.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News New wayfinding signs, like the one located on South 12th Avenue West, are placed throughout the city to help outof-towners and tourist to points on interest.

Submitted photo These sun dogs were spotted early Friday morning above Newton businesses along First Avenue West. Sun dogs are an atmospheric phenomenon that consists of a pair of bright spots on either side on the sun, often co-occurring with a luminous ring known as a 22° halo. Sun dogs are created by light interacting with ice crystals in the atmosphere.

As part of Newton’s comprehensive plan, wayfinding signs have began popping up across the community in the past month. The signs, designed to have style as they direct tourists, have an overall look to compliment the Get To Know Newton brand.

“As part of the creation of the Get To Know Newton brand, the professionals involved in that came up with complementary logos and color schemes and then also designed what a wayfinding sign could look like that complements that brand,” said Erin Chambers, the city’s director of Planning and Zoning.

The signs will be located in areas that direct out-of-towners and

tourists to points of interest in the city. The high school, Maytag Park and downtown are examples of locations that will be on the signs.

Additional attractions like the Iowa Speedway and Westwood Golf Course will also be included on the signs, as they meet the Department of Transportation’s criteria of a tourist oriented entity.

Chambers said the DOT has a specific requirements for signage, especially in intersections such as Highway 14 and First Avenue West. The city sign ordinance also does not allow for off-premise signage for private businesses, putting limits on what can be on the wayfinding signs.

TeeParties grows from home-based business to downtown presence

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News COLFAX — On a long folding banquet table in the back hallway of the TeeParties’ main office on East Howard Street in downtown Colfax, co-owner Tammi Schwickerath has an assortment of presson graphics sitting next to multi-colored stacks of blank T-shirts.

In a storage room, the heat press waits as customers for a New Years Day party begin to browse racks in the office lounge area. Framed above the array of apparel, the history of the 4-year-old company hangs on the wall in a row of seasonal fashion pamphlets from TeeParties’ early days featuring models wearing the company’s styles. The direct sale start-up now prints glossy magazinestyle catalogs of their offerings but when Schwickerath founded the company with her brother Chuck Regnier in November 2010, their product line was printed on matte paper stock on the press in their parents’ basement.

“We dreamt it up, we figured out a way to make the orders work, we figured out a way to get the consultants to submit their stuff with us securely,” Schwickerath said.

“It’s built from scratch.”

The brother and sister duo began their first business, R&S Apparel, with their father Dan Regnier in 2009.

The screen printing business was operated from the same basement northwest of Colfax where TeeParties printed its first catalog. R&S has printed graphic T-shirts and uniforms for the Newton High School track team, Colfax Little League, local soccer clubs and — the company’s “most loyal customers” — The Army National Guard at Camp Dodge and a state away in Nebraska.

Schwickerath and Chuck Regnier’s screen printing business has been on display at the Jasper County Fair for several years. As inquiries about their products grew, they began shopping the idea of offering in-home shows for high end, non-printed apparel which was available through their

supplier.

“No one would call and order and say, ‘let’s screen print on this really nice shirt.’ But we can get them,” Schwickerath said. “The benefit of having a ‘TeeParty’ is they can shop with their friends on the couch. It’s a service we provide. A lot of people settle for Walmart and Target. Our stuff is not going to fall apart in three months.

“Our prices are more expensive than Walmart and Target. But some people settle because they don’t have time to go to the mall. So there really is a nice benefit to TeeParties. A lot of people have refreshed their wardrobe. They have turned their closets into something they can appreciate.

The average person only wears 10 percent of what’s in their closet. Go home and look in your closet.”

TeeParties and R&S are now partnering companies.

But it is the in-home consulting, Chuck Regnier said, that has truly made the company strong. The concept is similar to a Pampered Chef party.

Consultants will host a presentation in a client’s home, bringing clothing samples on racks so folks can fit, model and purchase the apparel with their friends without leaving the sofa.

After a weak opening year with little to no sales, Schwickerath took to the road, leaving her job at TMC Transportation to pitch their home-grown apparel company’s parties and products to prospective clients and consultants full-time.

The family company now boasts over 20 active consultants —or private contractors — who promote the Jasper County-based brand. Many of their consultants hailing from the family’s home town of Prairie City.

“They all know who we are.

They are a well clothed community,” Schwickerath said.

“We’ve shipped thousands and thousands of dollars of product to Prairie City and Monroe.”

With each TeeParty consultant earning 30 percent commission while remaining a business owner, TeeParties

has managed to avoid many of the costs of a traditional small business, such as health insurance expenses, to keep more money on the bottom line.

“The only influence we have on our consultants is to make sure they’re representing our company the way we intend it to be represented,” Regnier said.

Direct sale start-ups traditionally involve multiple private investors and small business loans, but Schwickerath and Regnier have managed to grow TeeParties to $100,000 operation within four years while accumulating no debt.

Schwickerath said that’s “probably small potatoes” to some, but sales have grown $30,000 to $40,000 in the last fiscal year — an increase of 40 percent.

“We have found a way to grow it to this point without borrowing any money from any bank,” Schwickerath said.

“There are no investors, it’s just us. The sales have created it. If we can’t afford to do it, we don’t do it. We do everything very low budget.”

TeeParties also kept overhead low, operating out of their parents’ basement for

DMACC Nursing Information Session

DMACC Nursing Information Sessions offer those interested in the nursing program a chance to learn what they need to do to get into the program. This includes requirements for entry, who to contact for various questions about entry requirements, where to go for assessment and for help in meeting the entry requirements, how to get on the waiting list and what courses to take while waiting.

Attendance at an Information Session is one of the entry requirements for the Nursing program.

A session will be held at the Newton DMACC Campus on Tuesday, January 20th from 1-3 p.m.

four years, but eventually outgrew the space. This sparked its move to Colfax’s Main Street Business District.

For Schwickerath, the business is a good way to be with her 2.5-year-old son and make a living without child care expenses. She said many times her son will be in the office by her side and has become excited when it’s time to take a trip to TeeParties.

“Eventually the business will be theirs. It will be something that we can give to (our children). By then TeeParties should be really big. At least now we can be here, he can play,” she said. “He can tell you it’s mommy’s work. He gets excited to go to the office. You tell him to go grab something, he’ll usually go grab it. But he might take a few detours. He’s a little stinker.”

Their non-traditional office front brought a few inquiring eyes when TeeParties and R&S Apparels’ downtown office opened its doors, Schwickerath said. As product displays slowly were put in the bay window they brought with it customers wondering what the business was all about. Although not an actual

storefront Schwickerath and Regnier said they would never turn away someone who wanted to browse the racks, even offering to host parties on the plush couches and chairs in their front lounge which the company uses primarily for monthly consultant meetings.

A customer might even look through a catalog on couch near the the mannequin in the front display window whom the owners affectionately named “Sylvia.”

For a time after the office opened Sylvia was the only element in the display window, and the TeeParties owners said it gave passersby a bit of a fright. It became a running joke around the office.

“During Colfax Country Christmas we told people it would come alive at night,” Schwickerath said. “I’ve seen people jump when they walk by.”

“We got about 600 people to come out,” Farland said, describing the event.

Newton High staff (possibly the school’s guidance counselors, Farland said) review which 2015 graduate will get the $500 scholarship. The scholarship is for seniors planning on majoring in music in college, and Farland said enough money was raised for a 2016 graduate to get a $500 scholarship as well.

Farland said the Newton High Scholarship will be called the “Winter Dance Party Tour Memorial Scholarship.”

The Winter Dance Party Tour ended with the “Day the Music Died” February plane crash north of Clear Lake that killed Holly, Valens, J.P. “Big Bopper” Richardson and the pilot, Roger Peterson of Alta. IRRMA has done benefit work in the hometowns of all four crash victims.

Valens’ sister, Connie, was so warmly embraced by the people of Iowa, she decided to move from California to the Arnold’s Park area in 2012.

“Renew Newton had scoped this out as a project they wanted to see happen. They went through the effort of looking at intersections and what locations we would want to have on a sign,” Chambers said.

Through the comprehensive plan implementation process, Newton’s future committee was established and work began on those projects. A specific way finding subcommittee was formed and it began work on making the signs a reality.

Pro of Newton was awarded the project from sign creation to installation. Starting in the fall, poles were installed and in the last month it began placing the signs. The project does not have a specific end date, with weather being a factor in getting the signs up.

“Once the new way finding signage is complete, we will take a look at all that existing way finding signage and remove the duplications,” Chamber said.

Larry & Diana Ambroson How To Floss Effectively

The American Dental Association recommends these steps: Start with about 18 inches of floss. Wind most of it around one of your middle fingers and the rest around the middle finger of your other hand. Hold about 1 inch of floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers. Glide floss between teeth with a gentle sawing motion.

When the floss reaches the gum line, form a C shape to follow the contours of the tooth. Hold the floss firmly against the tooth while moving the floss gently up and down. Repeat on all teeth, unspooling fresh sections of floss as you go.

Well here you are again Old Man Winter, you slick and cool fella. I can’t say I’ve missed you, but I can say I’ve become overly fascinated with you all over again.

It’s been a whole year, but the thing is, you have this control over me — what I should wear, how I should plan my day and whether or not I can make it out of my driveway. You own me.

Now I drive a larger vehicle, namely because of the husband, three kids, dog and all the baloney we have to haul around with us when we leave the house. So when you piled on some 6 inches of snow last week I wasn’t extremely worried, even when it didn’t pan out to have our driveway plowed immediately.

As the snow sparkled down our lane, I zipped right through it. I think I even laughed. Perhaps you heard it, and that’s why you sought revenge the following day?

I should have known when I got home that night and saw part of our mailbox in the ditch, my luck was changing. Apparently

a casualty to a snow plow, the mailbox was sitting in 6 inches of snow, delightfully placed next to my copy of the Newton Daily News. Shocked, I drove up to the house and complained to my husband about it. Since he was cooking, and I really enjoying eating without the bother of food preparation, I strapped on my winter gear and made my way up the driveway to investigate further.

The mailbox was unharmed, and apparently, the thing slides right back on to the post. Crisis averted.

But I imagine that chuckle that escaped my lips was too much for you to take wasn’t it?

When I tried to make my way out the following morning I imagine you had a laugh yourself.

The soft, powdery, harmless snow I drove through the day before had been replaced by drifts that were rock solid and impenetrable. But I tried anyway, didn’t I? Of course. A few times. Gratefully, I have new tires on my vehicle, and with those tires I was

able to turn, burn and eventually make my way back to the garage, where I considered sobbing.

I didn’t succumb to the frustration. Working remotely did catch me off guard, but I persevered.

With the help of a professional plower outer, I eventually made my way into town. You didn’t beat me.

But you weren’t done with me yet, were you?

It’s like you just knew that the only thing worse than driving to Iowa City to see the Hawks get beat by Sparty — again — was making the drive home unbearable.

Granted, I always make my husband drive through whiteouts and blowing snow, I think you knew I was sitting there quite terrified for the length of the trip.

And, again with the driveway?

Seriously? I bet you thought it was a real hoot when my husband asked if we should “go for it” as we approached the completely snow packed drive. As if we had any other choice. Well we made

it, buddy. Good luck trying to defy our tenacity.

The thing is, Old Man, I don’t hate you. There are things I enjoy about you.

Truth be told, I like my snow boots. They are quite warm, but more importantly, they leave snowflake prints as I walk. They make me feel like a snow princess, and that’s precisely why I overpaid for them several years ago.

Also, I enjoy a collection of hats and scarves. Hot cocoa and hot tea? Yes. A warm fire on a cold night? You betchya.

My final problem is, my dog all but refuses to go outside because of the bitter cold. While I stand there with the door open, coaxing her to “go potty” and to “please, please go potty,” I know you’re mocking us. For me, animal cruelty is where I draw the line.

We must find a better way to get along these next few months.

January is sister city month for OPEN

Jane Ann Cotton Newton January has been designated “Sister City Month” and OPEN (Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors) is proud to have been active in the Newton and Jasper County area since designation by a City Council Resolution in 1991. In honor of “Sister City Month,” OPEN prepared a display for the Newton Library and it can be viewed during the entire month of January. Smila, Ukraine and WuChi, Taiwan, our two sister cities, are featured in the display.

Our focus for more than 23 years has featured projects dedicated to education, the arts, business, culture, history and humanitarian efforts. Two examples of recent activities that represent business and education focus are: April, 2014, we hosted an Open World group of Busi-

ness Entrepreneurs and many Newton business groups graciously responded to our request that they share business practices and organizational information with our guests. In October, 2014, we hosted another Open World group, educators from our sister city area of Smila, Ukraine and western Ukraine. The Newton Community School District’s cooperation and expertise was primary to the success of this delegation.

An important area of OPEN’s focus since 1993 has been the student program. Area residents have opened their homes to 39 students, who have spent an academic year at Newton High School or other Jasper County schools. Currently, OPEN is enjoying student number 39, GiGi Chen. GiGi is from Taiwan and when she returns home in June, will complete her high school requirements at her home high school in WuChi, Taiwan. She

currently is home hosted by Mark and Judy Monroe. OPEN is grateful for the willingness of many Newton and Jasper county host families that have contributed to the success of the student program by their expression of welcome to our students.

We currently have 15 dedicated members of our Board of Directors, they are: Sheri Benson, Warren Erickson, Larry Hesson, Jane Johnson, Frederick Kramer, Mary Beth Lawson, Kate Malott, John McNeer, Sveta Miller, David Pitz, Jeff Price, Tori Reynolds, Angie Taylor and Joan Tyler. Marvin Campbell is board member emeritus.

Trust — society depends on it.

For most of history, our ancestors lived in c l a n s with other family members or in small villages.

Everyone pretty m u c h k n e w By John Stossel who was trustworthy. People behaved better because they wanted good relationships with family members and neighbors. It’s one reason that today we trust friends and family more than strangers.

Only recently have humans interacted with lots of people. Today, “50 percent of the population lives in cities,” points out entrepreneur Julien Smith. “We’re surrounded by strangers, and you end up with these systems in place that progressively get built (to determine:) ‘should I trust this person?’”

Smith created the website Breather, which arranges for strangers to rent private spaces — even living rooms — for business meetings. For his business to work, total strangers must have a reason to trust each other.

The Internet makes that possible. His customers check his clients’ reputations before they agree to share a workspace.

Likewise, the website Task Rabbit blossomed by persuading people to trust total strangers to run errands for them. You post a task you want done — fix my shed, clean my apartment, shop for Mom, etc.; you state what you’re willing to pay, and Task Rabbit finds people nearby who might do the job. But why would you trust total strangers to enter your home? Task Rabbit says its “rabbits” are screened for professional qualifications, but so what? I wouldn’t trust any company’s promise.

What I do trust is the reciprocal rating system that the Internet allows.

Rabbits who are trustworthy get good ratings.

Offices listed at Breather

that are safe and pleasant get good ratings. Friendly customers who pay bills get good ratings.

It’s wonderful. Internet ratings give us more reason than ever before to interact with new people.

Before the Internet, we at least had word of mouth. It gave us some protection. When I was a consumer reporter in a single city — Portland, Ore., then New York City — I could find a smalltime scam to report on every week. But when I moved to ABC News to report on national scams, I couldn’t find so many.

That’s because, in a free society, the way for a business to get really rich is to serve customers well. When it does, customers want more of your stuff. If you rip people off, word gets out, and your business doesn’t grow. There will always be scams, but they rarely fool many people for long. Bad companies lose trust and atrophy. Good ones grow.

Even the greediest businessman knows he needs a good reputation.

And now, thanks to the Internet, his reputation is easier to find than ever.

The Internet also lets us harness the wisdom of groups . Feeling sick, and dissatisfied with the diagnosis you got from your doctor? List your symptoms on the website CrowdMed and a thousand medical “detectives” (mostly amateurs but also doctors and retired doctors) will try to come up with a more accurate diagnosis. A CrowdMed algorithm determines which opinions are most reputable. Would you trust a diagnosis by crowdsourcing? I might.

Sixty percent of CrowdMed’s customers report that “the Internet crowd” brought them closer to a cure.

Big Government’s central planners sneer at crowdsourcing, calling it chaotic and unsafe, but it’s not. It’s better than government micromanagement. It works because people respond to incentives — in the form of both money and effects on their reputations.

Woman should leave her abusive boyfriend asap DEAR ABBY: I have been with “Paul” for 10 months. We met shortly after he and his fiancee broke up. Because of her, he had gone into debt, and after their breakup he lost his job.

I have helped him with money from the moment we met. He’s still jobless and his unemployment benefit will end shortly, but Abby, he is careless with money. He ends up spending mine and borrows from friends who have to be paid back.

Last month, he took my credit card, and within a week 1,400 euros were gone and bills were left unpaid.

Because Paul is stressed and depressed, he goes out and drinks.

More than once he has spent the rent money in bars. He often gets home at 4 a.m. He’s also jealous and controlling. He texts and rings me constantly and asks why I took so long to answer. If I go out for a coffee, he demands to know who with. He has a hot temper and shouts at me for the slightest thing — like if I didn’t close a door, or he thinks I didn’t pay attention to something he said.

Our sex life has never been great.

He blames me for that, too. He says I don’t initiate it enough, and he’s threatening to start going with other girls. He is also bossy. He always says I never do anything for him. Even though I work until 5:30, he expects me to bring him water, coffee, turn on the air con and stuff.

I love Paul, but I don’t feel appreciated. I’m scared of what he will do when I leave. Please, Abby, I need your advice. — TORN IN LONDON DEAR TORN: Your Paul is an emotionally abusive, bottomless pit.

He will suck you dry financially and emotionally if you let him. It’s important that you get rid of him NOW.

If you think Paul might do something to you if you end the relationship, contact the police or a domestic abuse hotline and take their guidance.

If you think he might harm himself, FORGET it. Paul will survive. It doesn’t take a psychic to predict he will quickly find someone else to use, so don’t worry about him and don’t look back.

DEAR ABBY: Every year, a coworker brings her daughters to the office to sell Girl Scout cookies. The kids are adorable, and it’s hard to say “no” because Mom hovers nearby as the girls approach each cubicle. Regardless of whether one cares to donate to the cause or not, it feels like Mom is forcing us into buying by doing this. What happened to the old “leave the order sheet at the reception desk” custom? Am I overreacting? — SOURED ON SWEETS DEAR SOURED: Yes. All you have to do is smile and say, “No, I’m sorry, sweethearts. I can’t do it this year.” Actually, you may be doing the girls a favor, because an important part of selling is learning to cope with disappointment when a customer says no.

SERGEANT BLUFF — Production is expected to resume in a few days at a northwest Iowa fertilizer plant that was damaged by a fire and subsequent explosion.

The fire began around 6 p.m. Saturday at the Nulex plant in the Port Neal industrial area south of Sioux City. No injuries have been reported.

Nulex spokesman Jason Glover told the Sioux City Journal on Sunday that the fire was in a storage building and not in the main production facility.

Police say the woman was struck at an intersection and taken to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in critical condition. Her name hasn’t been released. No arrests have been reported. Police say the vehicle that struck her may have lost use of its passenger-side headlight.

ANKENY — An Iowa family is traveling to Zambia to build a computer lab for students there who don’t have access to technology. KCCI-TV reports Matt Cubit and his family are bringing 21 donated laptops with them on their trip to a rural town in the south African nation. The journey is a part of the mission of Cubit’s nonprofit, called Impacting the Next Generation.

Cubit’s wife said she hopes the computer lab will allow students to gain new skills that will help them in their future careers.

Iowa workforce agency head retires from job The Associated Press DES MOINES — The embattled head of the Iowa agency that oversees benefits for unemployed workers has retired from the post, Gov. Terry Branstad announced Sunday.

Iowa Workforce Development Director Teresa Wahlert submitted a formal retirement notice to Branstad on Friday, according to a press release from the governor’s office. Her retirement is effective immediately.

B e t h Townsend, executive director of the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, will be acting director of the agency.

No timeline Wahlert has been set to name a permanent director, according to the release, which offered no other details.

Wahlert was named to the post by Branstad in late 2010.

The governor remained supportive of her as she faced accusations of mismanaging the department and creating a hostile work environment.

“Lt. Governor (Kim) Reynolds and I wish her all the best as she begins her retirement,” Branstad said in a brief statement.

Sen. Janet Petersen was the Democratic leader of the Senate Government Oversight Committee that investigated Wahlert’s agency last year after it provided unemployment benefits to some

people who didn’t seek them and staff was urged to stay quiet about what happened.

Wahlert said at the time that there was no effort to cover up the overpayment problem, which she said was caused by a technical glitch.

“I believe it’s safe to say that (Wahlert) had zero chance of obtaining the votes necessary to make it through a Senate confirmation again,” Petersen said about the retirement announcement.

Wahlert was also accused of demanding tallies on how

often judges ruled in favor of employers and workers and requested that the judges create tip sheets to help employers. Democratic Sen. Bill Dotzler, of Waterloo, asked the U.S. Department of Labor to investigate her.

Wahlert also is facing a lawsuit from Joe Walsh, the state’s former top unemployment appeals judge. He claims Wahlert fired him for opposing her efforts to change his job into a political appointment. A trial has been set for September.

Church members brave the cold to bless the Iowa River The Associated Press

AP Photo In a file photo, orthopedics nurse Melissa Ruden, RN, of Mercy Medical Center, demonstrates how a face mask is worn at the hospital in Sioux City. Workers at the hospital must get the influenza vaccine unless they have religious or medical exemption, such as an allergy to the vaccine, in which case they are required to wear a face mask.

CORALVILLE — Leaders from three Orthodox churches braved the cold to bless the Iowa River as part of an annual event.

About 35 people from St. Raphael Orthodox Church in Iowa City, St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Cedar Rapids and St. George Orthodox Church in Cedar Rapids gathered Saturday near the Iowa River Pedestrian Bridge in Coralville.

The leaders say the blessing recognizes the holiday of Theophany, which they believe celebrates the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported.

“It’s cold, but just because it’s not convenient doesn’t mean we stop this unbroken tradition,” said the Rev. Peter Andronache of St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church. “I think the Orthodox church tends to have a lot to say about traditions that are hundreds and thousands of years old.”

The annual blessing included a Bible, a bowl of water and a wooden cross attached to a string. The tips of the wooden cross were dipped in the bowl of water before the cross was thrown from the edge of the railing at the bridge. The cross was then reeled back in.

The crowd watched as the religious leaders wore golden robes and carried out the ceremony.

Officials monitor flu outbreaks Midwinter Bald Eagle counts at Iowa care centers The Associated Press DES MOINES — At least 32 care centers in Iowa have had outbreaks of influenza recently, according to health officials who say it’s difficult to fight off the disease despite such safeguards as vaccination and sanitation measures.

Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, medical director for the Iowa Department of Public Health, said she’s received daily reports of the disease affecting nursing homes, assisted living centers and other care facilities, The Des Moines Register reported.

“It’s certainly much higher than it’s been in

the past,” she said of the frequency of the reports.

At the Bishop Drumm Retirement Center in Johnston, every resident and employee was vaccinated against the flu.

But the virus spread at the center in December.

Several residents required hospitalization.

“It was awful for them here,” said Priscilla Myers of Johnston, whose mother, Rosemary Hall, was one of about 35 residents infected. “It seemed like they all got the flu at once.”

Quinlisk, the state’s top infectious disease expert, said the flu contributes to hundreds of deaths of older people in Iowa dur-

By Joe Wilkinson Iowa Department of Natural Resources With “real” winter in Iowa now, bald eagles are in line, for state and continent-wide attention. Between now and mid-January, biologists and other conservationists will spread out over survey routes; for a midwinter head count.

Their story is pretty well documented through the last half dozen decades.

Through the mid-20th Century, eagles feeding on fish and other animals with the dangerous chemical DDT in their systems ingested it themselves.

Egg shells thinned dangerously, driving down successful hatch of offspring.

The environmental crisis led to a DDT ban and federal legislation protecting eagles and their habitat.

“They were listed as a federally endangered species,” underscores DNR wildlife diversity biologist Stepha-

The North American Mid-winter Eagle Survey is especially important in Iowa; one of the more important wintering states.

In the 1970s, Iowa’s winter eagle count was in the dozens. Now, in an extra cold winter, you can see that many below about any Mississippi River lock and dam along the Mississippi River.

At Keokuk and a couple other ‘hot spots,’ it arcs into the hundreds.

Last January, record cold, ice and snow cover concentrated the regal raptors into what little open water remained. That made them easy to spot.

Mischelle Denison’s mother-in-law, 87-yearold Darlene Denison, was moved to Bishop Drumm last year. Mischelle Denison said she is concerned about illnesses such as the flu because care facilities have people with weak immune systems in close proximity.

Darlene Denison herself became infected with the flu. The development meant family members had to put on medical gowns, masks and gloves when visiting her.

‘Boyhood’ tops Globes; ‘Grand Budapest’ upsets ‘Birdman’ BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

(AP) — The Golden Globes inched closer to legitimacy in its 72nd show, giving awards not just to A-List celebrities, but to the edgier productions that unequivocally deserved recognition, including “Boyhood,” ‘’The Grand Budapest Hotel,” and “Birdman.”

Adding to the spirit of subversion was the recurring theme of free speech, which dominated the remarks of everyone from George Clooney to Jared Leto. Even hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler tackled a myriad of timely, and taboo, topics, including the Sony Hack, North Korea and Bill Cosby.

Perhaps this isn’t a new mode for the Globes going forward, but on Sunday, the most readily mocked show of awards season transcended its party reputation to become something more, even if everything got started with the “Entourage” cast using the red carpet to film a scene for their upcoming movie.

As for what it all means for the Academy Awards, whose nominations are announced on Thursday, many fields seem more open than ever.

Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood” dominated the Globes, winning the night’s top honor, best drama, as well as best director for Linklater and best supporting actress for Patricia Arquette.

The 12-years-in-the-making indie effectively captivated audiences, critics, and the industry to become one of the year’s major awards contenders

Pipeline Continued from Page 1A board Dec. 31 by the sonin-law of a landowner who claims she was not contacted

by DAPL about the informational meeting.

The board will give the coalition and DAPL until Jan. 20 to file responses to the complaint, and additional responses to both parties’ statements can be filed until Jan. 26.

Until IUB issues its final ruling on the motion, board spokesperson Rob Hillesland said DAPL will be able to move forward with the permit process as scheduled. There is no time limit or deadline set in Iowa Code for IUB’s decision, but Hillesland said the board will issue a ruling in a “timely manner.”

Kathy and Tom Holdefer are affected landowners near Mingo, contacted by DAPL prior to last month’s meeting in Newton. Besides the environmental impact, Kathy Holdefer said her concern was not with the information pre-

— a streak that could be solidified or destroyed when Oscar nominations are announced.

“Bottom line is we’re all flawed in this world. No one’s perfect,” said Linklater. “I want to dedicate this to parents that are evolving everywhere and families that are just passing through this world and doing their best.”

Tied with two wins each were Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s dark showbiz film “Birdman” and the Stephen Hawking biopic “The Theory of Everything,” in which Eddie Redmayne emerged victorious in one of the evening’s most hotly contested categories, best actor in a drama.

For his portrayal of famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, Redmayne beat out Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Imitation Game”), Steve Carell (“Foxcatcher”), David Oyelowo (“Selma”) and Jake Gyllenhaal (“Nightcrawler”).

While Michael Keaton took the best actor prize for “Birdman,” the film flailed in the best comedy or musical category, losing out to Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” Beloved by critics and audiences, Anderson’s dark, whimsical fable was considered a bit of an underdog in the category and awards season on the whole.

Awards favorite Julianne Moore won best actress in a drama for her startling performance as an academic with early on-set Alzheimer’s in “Still Alice,” and Amy Adams surprised in taking best actress in a comedy or musical for sented at the Jasper County meeting but the amount of time she and her family will have invested in the pipeline process. She asked ETP representatives during the Newton meeting if her time would be reimbursed as part of an easement to use her land. The representatives said no. For Holdefer, it’s not a matter of time equals money, but time equals time.

“I would rather use my time to make a healthy meal, get some extra work done or play with my granddaughter,” she said. “It wasn’t about the money for my time, it was about what they’re doing to us — in addition to possibly hurting the environment and making land unusable or less usable. They are taking a lot of time out of our lives for their profit.”

ETP and DAPL issued a brief response Thursday, stating the coalition’s motion amounted to a stall tactic. In a written statement via email, DAPL spokesperson Vicki Granado said the company is “committed to following all the requirements of the IUB

portraying Margaret Keane in “Big Eyes.”

Looking forward to Oscar nominations, the big question has become whether or not “The Imitation Game,” ‘’Selma,” or “Foxcatcher” can regain their footing in the race, and, if Angelina Jolie’s “Unbroken,” shut out at the Globes, could possibly emerge as a serious contender, too. All of the films have come under recent scrutiny for their factbending depiction of historical events.

Jessica Chastain, whose “Zero Dark Thirty” suffered the same sort of examination, said that the whole trend of fact-checking movies makes her really sad.

“We don’t make documentaries,” she said on the red carpet.

The television winners also suggested a current of the unexpected, with awards for Maggie Gyllenhaal for “The Honorable Woman,” and Gina Rodriguez in CW’s popular “Jane the Virgin.”

AMC’s adaptation of Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1996 film, “Fargo,” won best miniseries or movie, as well as best actor, miniseries or movie, for Billy Bob Thornton. It tied with Showtime’s “The Affair,” which came away with two nods.

And accepting the Globe for original song for “Glory” in the civil rights drama “Selma,” the rapper Common raised the status of the group behind the Globes even higher: “I want to thank God and the Hollywood Foreign Press.” process and we believe we have done so to date.

“We are also committed to protecting the environment and agricultural resources in Iowa. All the publications, discussions and presentations have clearly stated a minimum pipeline cover commitment and no misrepresentation has occurred. This motion is clearly an attempt to slow down the review process of this critical energy infrastructure project and the motion is disingenuous to protect the rights of the public or concerned landowners,” she said.

Nathan Malachowski is a project organizer with Iowa Citizens for Community Action, a member of the 13-group coalition. He said the environmental groups fear the lack of clarity will continue as the project moves forward. The coalition is also questioning the ability of current regulatory devices to protect landowners.

US stocks head lower; crude oil price falls again NEW YORK (AP) — Another drop in the price of oil is pulling the stock market lower on Monday. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and other oil companies sank along with crude oil after Goldman Sachs slashed its forecast for oil prices for the next two years.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 143 points, or 0.8 percent, to 17,594 as of 10:07 a.m. Eastern time.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 19 points, 0.9 percent, to 2,026, and the Nasdaq composite fell 41 points, or 0.8 percent, to 4,687.

Tiffany & Co. cut its outlook for annual profits early Monday and also posted weaker sales in the holiday season, partially a result of a stronger U.S. dollar pinching its results. The jewelry retailer’s stock fell $11.50, or 11 percent, to $91.95.

In Europe, Germany’s DAX rose 0.2 percent, while France’s CAC-40 added 0.1 percent. Britain’s FTSE 100 lagged, sliding 0.6 percent.

In a wide-ranging note to clients assessing the recent plunge in oil markets, Goldman Sachs cut its price forecasts for the coming two years. It said the benchmark New York rate would average $50.40 a barrel this year, far below its previous forecast of $83.75. It also cut its Brent forecast to $70 a barrel from $90. In response, oil prices fell further, with the New York rate down 2.4 percent at $47.20 a barrel,

while Brent slid 3 percent to $48.62.

“I think we’re going to see plenty more volatility in the coming days as pressure mounts on oil producers to scale back production before prices get dangerously low,” said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari.

Alcoa kicks off the quarterly earnings season after the closing bell on Monday.

Others big names reporting this week include JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo. There’s also plenty of economic news, with reports on retail sales and industrial production.

The Greek general election on Jan. 25 will also increasingly pre-occupy the minds of investors. Though opinion polls show the anti-bailout Syriza party on course to win the election, few think it will be able to govern without the support of other parties. Diminishing fears of a Greek exit from the euro have helped take some pressure off the country’s bond market. The yield on Greece’s 10-year government bond fell by 0.66 percentage points to 9.32 percent.

The dollar mostly rose against other currencies.

The euro fell 0.5 percent to $1.1790, near nine-year lows. The dollar fell 0.1 percent against the Japanese currency to 118.40 yen.

U.S. government bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.93 percent from 1.95 percent late Friday.

Lawmakers in Iowa’s General Assembly indicated legislation could be considered in the 2015 legislative session to strengthen protections granted to landowners whose properties are located within the path of economic development or infrastructure projects. Iowa House Speaker Kraig Paulsen (RHiawatha) told members of

the press last week during an AP Legislative Seminar he believes legislation will be introduced in the house this year regarding eminent domain.

Early in that seminar, Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican, cautioned against legislative involvement in the pipeline proceedings, citing concerns about its use as a political football. Branstad appoints the three-member IUB panel.

“We played pretty hard the entire game and played pretty good team defense minus a few possessions where we allowed ourselves to be screened and/ or gave up second-chance points,” said Nick Wilkins, Cardinal head coach.

“Even our defense on Osky’s gamewinning shot was good with Jordan Travis switching on the ball screen, and having his hand high and in the face of Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News their shooter on the shot.”

Newton’s Versteegh claims individual First win continues to elude Tigerhawks championship at Ottumwa tournament

By Troy Hyde

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

OTTUMWA — Two Newton High juniors reached championship matches at Saturday’s Ottumwa Invitational wrestling tournament.

Hunter Versteegh went to work quickly against Logan Donaldson of Burlington in their 113-pound title match. Versteegh won by falls, a technical fall and a major decision on his way to the championship Versteegh bout.

One of those early wins for Versteegh was a 15-0 tech fall over Donaldson. Versteegh pinned Donaldson in 1 minute, 38 seconds to capture

first place.

Duncan Lee, Newton’s 195-pounder, worked his way to the championship match with pins. Lee faced Michael Fritz of Fairfield in the title match. Fritz was able to notch a 3-1 decision over Lee. Lee finished second in the weight class.

Newton ended up fourth as a team with 164.5 points. Ottumwa’s Bulldogs captured their own tournament team championship with 231 points followed by Burlington with 202.5 and Des Moines Lincoln with 172.5 points.

Iowa City’s City High was fifth with 160 points and Des Moines East was sixth with 120.5 points. Fairfield placed seventh at 104 and Davenport North was eighth with 43 points.

Newton junior Bryce Tish lost 9-7

COLFAX — For about 28 minutes, the Colfax-Mingo boys’ basketball team played well enough to end its long losing streak.

Unfortunately, high school games are 32 minutes long and because of poor execution, lack of composure and a few other things that were out of their control, the Tigerhawks stayed winless on the season.

No. 17 ISU edges No. 14 WVU MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — No. 17 Iowa State turned things around quickly a week after leaving Brooklyn with a loss.

Now the Cyclones are perched atop the Big 12 standings after the first week of conference play.

Abdel Nader tied a season high with 19 points, team scoring leader Georges Niang had his best game in a month and Iowa State beat No. 14 West Virginia 74-72 on Saturday.

A week ago, Iowa State limped home after losing its final nonconference game 64-60 to South Carolina at the Barclays Center. The Cyclones have quickly turned things around.

ISU twice squandered eight-point leads but pulled out the win by making three free throws in the final 13 seconds.

“You have to win road games if you want to compete for a league championship,” ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said. “I told our guys to show me that they could do it and now they came out in their first Big 12 road game and got a big win against a team that is playing in a good rhythm right now.

Turnovers continue to plague Tigerhawk girls

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — North Polk held the Colfax-Mingo girls’ basketball team scoreless in the first and third quarters and won easily during Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play on Friday night.

Colfax-Mingo (0-9) attempted just one shot in the first quarter thanks to an effective North Polk full-court press. The Tigerhawks committed 33 turnovers in the 53-7 loss.

“We just lack that toughness that you need to be able to play in this league,” Colfax-Mingo coach Michelle Grant said.

“We aren’t tough with the ball.

We don’t make tough passes.

That’s where we’re at.”

The Comets led 18-0 after one and had a 36-4 lead at the break. North Polk (5-5, 3-5) outscored Colfax-Mingo 12-0 in the third and 5-3 in the fourth. Dakota Hostetter scored all three of her points in the fourth to lead the Tigehawks. Reagan Nichol and Ivy Moore also put in buckets in the second to complete Colfax-Mingo’s scoring.

“We just need to take more shots. I don’t care if you miss it.

That’s better than a turnover,” Grant said.

The seven points scored is a season-low output for the Tigerhawks, but the 53 points allowed was the second fewest surrendered, too.

11 points to lead the visitors.

Macy Gill also scored 11.

The Tigerhawks had an unusual holiday break. Grant said the team never practiced with all eight players in attendance.

Nichol had her Wisdom Teeth pulled a few day’s after the team’s final game before the break.

The team also did not practice Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday due to wintry weather that forced the school to cancel classes for two days.

The only practice of the week was an hour and a half on Thursday night.

“You can use those as excuses if you want, but I can’t say that if that changes, this game would have been any different,” Grant said.

The Tigerhawks return to the court 6 p.m. Tuesday when they travel to Class 3A No. 7 Nevada.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Ivy Moore (14) scores two points inside the lane during the first possession of the third quarter against North Polk on Friday in Colfax. It was Moore’s only bucket of the game as the Tigerhawks lost 53-7.

Lindsay’s buzzer beater sends PCM to win over ranked Gilbert

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GILBERT — Trey Lindsay buried a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Class 3A No. 6 Gilbert its first loss of the season on Friday night.

Lindsay finished with a team-high 25 points and added five steals and three rebounds.

He buried four 3-pointers as the Mustangs knocked off the Tigers, 53-52.

“He is having a nice season,” said PCM coach Fred Lorensen of Lindsay. “He’s so much more athletic than he was a year ago. And that last shot was really something. It was fun.”

Lorensen said the final play was designed to go inside to the team’s leading scorer, Logan Gilman, but Gilbert deflected the entry pass.

The ball eventually got to Lindsay, who dribbled behind the 3-point line.

A ball fake got two charging defenders to jump passed him

and he knocked down the game-winner from five-feet behind the line.

The Mustangs have now won six straight games and are tied atop the Heart of Iowa Lindsay Athletic Conference standings at 6-1. Gilbert and Roland-Story also have just one loss in conference play.

“This is a huge win,” Lorensen said. “If we want to have any chance to win the conference, we had to have it.”

Gilbert led 12-11 after one, but a 17-10 advantage in the second quarter gave PCM a 28-22 halftime lead.

Gilbert rallied to tie the score after three. The Mustangs won the fourth quarter, 16-15, to win by one.

Gilman finished with nine points and a team-high five boards, while Ricky Reeve and

Freland

Luke Greiner each scored six points for the Mustangs.

Greiner also dished out a team-high four assists, while Chase Kuening grabbed three boards and had three assists.

GIRLS Gilbert 44, PCM 39 GILBERT — The Mustang girls couldn’t hold a 2213 halftime advantage as the Tigers handed PCM its first conference loss after outscoring their visitors 31-17 in the second half.

The Mustangs (7-1, 7-3) connected on just 13-of-47 from the floor and hit only 5-of-18 from long range.

Rachel Freland scored 15 points, grabbed six steals and pulled down five rebounds in the loss.

Courtney VanHouweling

added 10 points and four assists but was just 2-of-15 from the floor.

Katie VandeWall chipped in nine points and four rebounds and Kayla Jennings grabbed five boards, too.

Paige Hoiberg led Gilbert with 16 points, six rebounds and five steals.

No other Gilbert player scored in double-figures and the Tigers hit 15-of-37 from the floor.

PCM came into the game undefeated in Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play, but the Class 3A No. 13 Mustangs (7-3, 7-1) dropped into a firstplace tie with 3A No. 7 Nevada after the loss.

Both PCM squads head to Greene County on Tuesday and to South Hamilton on Friday.

Both girl-boy doubleheaders tip off at 6 p.m.

Saydel’s shooters bury CMB

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Saydel has won three of its last four games.

DES MOINES — The Saydel boys’ basketball team hit 7-of-14 from 3-point range and led wire-towire during a 61-47 home win over Collins-Maxwell/Baxter, which connected on just 2-of-21 from long range in the game.

The Eagles (3-5, 2-5) led 16-10 after one, 26-22 at halftime and 40-33 heading into the fourth before Bane winning by 14.

Bryce Kemp and Seth Baalke combined to score 37 of CMB’s 47 points, but it wasn’t enough as the loss snapped the Raiders’ three-game win streak.

Kemp poured in 20 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and had four steals to lead CMB (3-6, 2-5) in the loss, while Baalke added 17 points, five rebounds and four steals.

The rest of the team combined to shoot 4-of-31 from the floor.

Zach McBride hit two 3-pointers and scored a team-high 15 points to lead Saydel, while Jacob Philipsen was 3-of-4 from long range and finished with nine points.

GIRLS Saydel 54, CMB 36 DES MOINES — A 17-3 advantage in the third quarter was enough for Class 3A No. 14 Saydel to claim a win Friday night over the CollinsMaxwell/Baxter girls’ basketball team.

The Raiders got 11 points and nine rebounds from freshman Brianda Bane and 10 points from Carter Larson, but CMB (2-9, 2-6) couldn’t hold the 10-7 lead it had after one quarter.

Saydel (8-2, 6-2) outscored the Raiders 19-11 in the second quarter to give the Eagles a 26-21 advantage at halftime.

The 17-3 surplus in the third extended the margin to 19 after three quarters.

Newton’s Nick Easley hit the front end of a one-and-one with 3.5 seconds left in the game to forge a 46-all tie. It was a back-andforth Little Hawkeye Conference contest throughout the game.

The Indians led 14-9 at the end of the first quarter and the Cardinals were up 27-25 at halftime. Oskaloosa outscored Newton 13-5 in the third to take a 38-32 lead into the fourth period.

“The game really came down to one team making shots and one team not, plain and simple. It was clear that their strategy was to make us hit outside shots and we had many open looks for our shooters,” Wilkins said. “We went 5-for-

KEOTA — Winning on the road is never easy, but the Lynnville-Sully Hawk basketball teams got the job done Friday night against the Keota Eagles in South Iowa Cedar League play.

L y n n v i l l e - S u l l y ’s girls, undefeated and ranked No. 9 in Class 1A, had a cold night shooting (29 percent) from the field. The Hawks girls were able to get to the free-throw line, cashing in on 20of-28, to close out a 3527 win over the Eagle girls.

L y n n v i l l e - S u l l y ’s boys ripped the nets for eight 3-pointers on their way to a 60-50 win over the Eagles. The Hawks were up 31-24 at halftime and maintained their edge in the third quarter, outscoring Keota 14-10.

The Hawk girls used a 6-3 run in the second quarter to get a little breathing room.

Lynnville-Sully was up 13-9 at halftime. The Hawks outscored the Eagles girls 10-5 in the third period and protected the lead despite Keota having a 13-12 scoring edge in the final eight minutes.

“The girls did a pretty good job of handling the physical play. Both teams play tough physical defense not letting either team get into

30 from 3-point range, and you can’t win games shooting 16 percent from three.”

Newton shot 33 percent, 17-of-52, from the field. Oskaloosa only took 38 shots, but hit 19 for 50 percent.

The Indians were 9-of14 from the free-throw line while the Cardinals hit 7-of-10 attempts.

The Indians also had a 39-23 rebounding edge. Jordan Travis controlled six rebounds for Newton and Joseph Banfield had five rebounds.

Devin Shores dished out three assists for the Cardinals. Connor Gholson, who had a 3-pointer, and Easley each had two steals.

Tyler Wood paced the Cardinals with 13 points and three assists.

Drew Stout added 10 points and two steals on the night. Wood and Stout each hit two 3-pointers in the game.

Easley finished with five points for the Cardinals.

Moore ended up with 20 points for Oskaloosa (4-4, 1-3 LHC).

“We have a big week this week with home games against Pella and Norwalk, so we are going to learn from this and get ready for Pella on Tuesday,” Wilkins said.

Newton, which is 1-3 in LHC play and 5-4 overall, hosts Pella in conference action Tuesday.

20 from the free-throw line.

The Indians had four players foul out of the game.

Hannah Rhoads fired in 12 points for Newton, followed by Alex Hutchinson with nine points and Sydney Jenkins had eight.

Hutchinson dished out two assists and had two steals. Ryanne Rausch made four of the team’s 10 steals.

Hutchinson pulled down 10 of the team’s 53 rebounds. Michaela Jacobsen claimed nine rebounds while Jenkins and Jessica Reynolds each had eight rebounds.

“I couldn’t be more proud of how this team stuck together and

never panicked,” Sharp said. “I am disappointed with the way we played, but we still found a way to win. That is a huge step forward for this team.”

Newton hosts Class 4A No. 15 Pella Tuesday in Little Hawkeye action.

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B won 61-47. The game was tied at 40-all with five minutes to play and it was a two-point game with three minutes to go.

“I think we lost our composure offensively in the fourth quarter,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said. “We didn’t pass the ball as efficiently as we needed to and our shot selection wasn’t as good as it needed to be.

We got hurried in the last half of the fourth quarter and the game kind of got away from us a little bit. It doesn’t reflect, at all, the competitiveness of the game.”

Junior Jared Myers poured in a career-high

their place,” said Nick Harthoorn, LynnvilleSully boys’ head coach.

“I thought we did a nice job of executing our game plan on the defensive end. Offensively, we played unselfish basketball. We had a nice balanced attack.”

The Hawk boys shot 43 percent, 23-of-54, from the field and went 6-of-16 at the freethrow line.

Astrograph Monday, Jan. 12, 2015

The warrior planet moves into difficult territory. In Aquarius, he was confident, taking care of business and bringing his best efforts to all who needed them the most. In Pisces, he’s completely out of his element. The lesson here is to be sensitive to what’s happening on an emotional level -- it just might be the level that matters most.

Maybe that excitement is good. Let it ride.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 12). You are an executive and a manager this month, and you’ll handle what’s key. The accomplishments might not be the sort that can be hung on a wall, but they are real nonetheless. March shows you moving or renovating.

June brings a shift in your purpose. Above all, be kind and sweet to yourself.

Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 44, 2, 32 and 15.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The question now is: Are your goals appropriate? The ideal goal for you is personally meaningful, probable and yet still slightly out of reach. You’ll get it. Baby steps.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). “Keep calm” is the motto, and yet sometimes that’s just not possible. People get riled up over the littlest things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s said that there is nothing new under the sun, and yet, if there were, you probably would’ve invented it. Your wheels are spinning this week, and many people other than you will enjoy the spectacle.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You think you know him so deeply because you have examined his blueprint many times. This is the one who will throw you for a delightful loop.

Stay alert.

TAURUS (April 20May 20). You’re zany, inventive, clever, simply irresistible to anyone who observes you. So stop wor-

rying about how you are being perceived, and start enjoying the extra attention.

prevent the distractions of the day from sending you on a quest for short-term gains.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s something about your work that you enjoy immensely, and the most productive part of your day occurs because you dwell awhile in that feeling, ignoring all else.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

People will praise you, but beware: Pride goeth before the fall. Indeed, that puffed-up, high-andmighty feeling lends just the altitude necessary for a dramatic drop. Humility is the way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you just need new friends. Everyone you know leads to more people. You’re so charming now that it won’t take much to add a few to the mix.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

If you sound like a nag, you’ll be tuned out. Take matters into your own hands, and make it look like fun while you’re at it. Others will rush to hop onto your moving train.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You’ll constantly have to remind yourself of your deeper purpose, even if you think you know it intrinsically. This is how you

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What you did, you did for a reason. Your crew is behind you. Good to know that you don’t have to stand alone. There’s an earth sign on your side: Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t stir the pot when things seem to be mixing with or without you. Talking about it doesn’t always make it better. Sometimes it makes things worse.

PCM crowns two champs, finishes 6th at home invite Two other area teams compete in 13-team field

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE – Prairie City-Monroe senior Tristan Clark and sophomore Xavier Miller both ran into some adversity in the championship matches of their respective weight classes at the PCM Invitational here Saturday.

Clark and Miller each found themselves behind to their top-seeded opponents but found a way to rally to claim the 126- and 120-pound titles, respectively.

Miller was down three points to Des Moines North-Hoover’s Josh Rattray before rallying for a 9-6 victory, while Clark trailed 4-3 late in his bout with Class 1A second-ranked Briar Cochran of Moravia before sealing a 6-4 victory in the first overtime period.

The two championships helped the Mustangs finish in the top half of the team standings, taking sixth out of 13 schools with 119 points.

Ron Marshall advanced to the title bout at 170 and took second overall, while Jaret Maggard was third at 182 and unseeded Leevi Telfer claimed fourth at 220.

“It was a real good day. We were right where I wanted to be and right where I thought we’d be,” PCM coach Cody Waddell said. “I wanted to finish in the top half of the standings, and we did that.”

Knoxville crowned two individual champions and two runner-ups to edge Gilbert in the team race.

The Panthers won the team title with 178 points, while Gilbert had 170 in second and Chariton was third with 169.

Carlisle (143) and Saydel (129) were fourth and fifth, respectively.

Pleasantville (111), Pella (109), Des Moines North-Hoover (90), Moravia (89), Lynnville-Sully (82), Pekin (59) and Colfax-Mingo (12) rounded out the 13-team field.

Lynnville-Sully’s top finisher was freshman Sage Zylstra, who was third at 120 and is now 20-8 on the season after going 3-1 on the day.

Jackson Hardin ended up fourth at 170, Noah Zylstra finished fourth at 182 and Cole Nickell claimed fourth at 113.

“It’s a tough tournament with a lot of bigger schools, but we need tough competition to

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Tristan Clark, top, handed Moravia junior Briar Cochran his first loss of the season during the championship match at 126 pounds on Saturday during the PCM Invitational. Clark, ranked seventh in Class 2A, defeated Cochran, the second-ranked wrestler in 1A, 6-4 in the first overtime period.

get ready for conference and sectionals,” Lynnville-Sully coach Steve Northcutt said.

“We wanted to wrestle our best. I felt we missed a few opportunities in some of the matches but overall we wrestled to our ability.”

Colfax-Mingo brought just six wrestlers to the tournament after a handful of wrestlers became academically ineligible over the holiday break. Another wrestler failed to make weight Saturday morning as well.

The Tigerhawks’ best finisher was Colton Lourens, who went 2-3 on the day and finished in sixth at 145 pounds.

“There has been a setback since Christmas break,” Colfax-Mingo coach Bryan Poulter said. “We haven’t adjusted to where we need to be yet. We are kind of at that point where people have to rise up and make things happen for themselves and raise their level. We need to find some leaders.”

The top six finishers in each weight class found themselves on the medal stand at the end of the day.

Other medal winners for the Mustangs included Jakeb Fenton (fifth at 106) and Clayton Welch (sixth at 195).

Trent Malone (285) went 2-1 on the day, too.

The match of the day was Clark’s championship match at 126.

Cochran came into the weekend undefeated at 23-0.

The match was scoreless after one and a Clark escape gave him a 1-0 lead after two.

The third period saw

much more action. The official awarded Cochran two points on a questionable takedown and then Clark tied it with a reversal.

An escape by Cochran made it 4-3 and it stayed that way until the Moravia junior was called for two stalling violations in the final 20 seconds.

The second violation evened the match at 4-all and Clark, who is ranked seventh in Class 2A, eventually won it with a takedown in the final seconds of the first Sudden Victory period.

“That was the game changer really,” Clark said of the second stalling call. “I was expecting a close match. But it feels great to win the tournament.”

Miller’s opponent, Rattray, came into the tourney with just one loss. He grabbed an advantage in the second period, but Miller, who is now ranked 10th, persevered in the final period and rallied for the 9-6 victory.

“I was a little nervous, but I knew it was close enough that I could come back,” said Miller, who was fourth as a freshman last year. “I just tried to stay tough and keep coming at him.”

Marshall was seeded first at 170 pounds but is now 16-3 on the year following his loss to Carlisle’s Damon Piatt.

Marshall led Piatt 5-3 at one point in the first period but lost by fall 33 seconds into the final frame.
