Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop along with the Jasper County Board of Supervisors discuss the budget for the coming year.

Supervisors continue budgets talks, appointments

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Budget talks continued along with several appointments at the Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday. County Treasurer Doug Bishop said he was maintaining his budget with only wage and benefit increases.

He is hoping to get a new copier for his department to replace the used machine that he purchased six years ago.

“I got three different quotes and I actually sent it back to Forbes and said, ‘you need to keep business local. I want to,’ and they did,” Bishop said. “I figured this time around there was a used one when I came in and I bought a used one and got our money’s worth, I figured this time we’ll buy one for the long haul.”

Also in the treasurer’s office, Cindy Meredith and Warren Braun were appointed deputies

and approved by the supervisors.

County Recorder Denise Allan had two deputies approved as well. Linda Hammer and Pam Keenan were appointed to the recorder’s office as of Jan. 2.

A public hearing will be set for a five-year agreement with ShoreTel Phone Maintenance for phone systems across the county. If the agreement is approved, the county could potentially save $2,450 over the yearly renewal.

Supina Dake was approved for a part-time service coordinator position in the county CPC department. Her start date is Jan. 15 with a pay rate at $16.23 per hour.

The fair board spoke to the supervisors about work that had been accomplished at the fair grounds in Colfax including four new roofs on barns and on the vendor building. It said future projects include two additional roof barns, repainting the

The board unanimously approved a plan to bring two Central College student-teachers to Newton during the fourth quar-

ter of the 2014-15 school year.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan presented a contract that Central sent to him, which expires June 30.

“We’ve done this, similarly, in the fall, with other colleges and universities we’ve partnered with for student teaching,” Callaghan said.

Board member Bill Perrenoud joked that fellow board members consider that he attended Central College before voting. He voted in favor of the measure by loudly and happily saying “aye.”

The CIP is one of four documents that make up the city’s strategic plan.

The other three documents are the comprehensive plan, action plan goals and objectives and the annual budget. It is a five year plan covering from 2015 through

Lentzkow’s father said the lack of a cage — and the trooper’s decision to not place his son in the nearby vehicle of a sheriff ’s deputy that had one — was one of several factors that contributed to the death.

“I’m hoping that nobody else has to bury their kids because of silly mistakes,” Gary Lentzkow said in his first media interview about the death of his son, who he recalled as a

Drake professor to speak about Des Moines religion

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Timothy Knepper will speak about The Comparison Project: Three Years of Interfaith Programming and Exploration in the city of Des Moines, of which he is the director, from 7:15 to 8:45 p.m. Jan. 21 at the Newton Congregational United Church of Christ, 308 E. Second St. N. Knepper is also an associate professor of philosophy at Drake University and the chair of the department of religion and philosophy. The event is free and open to the public.

During the discussion, people can learn about three resources that currently support the project. An ongoing lecture and dialogue series will take place about comparative religion, in Des Moines and throughout the world. Second, a digital storytelling initiative with the religions of Des Moines and finally, a picture book on the religions of Des Moines that Knepper has just started working on with a local photographer.

Founded in 2012, The Comparison Project was developed as a means of bringing greater awareness to the religious diversity in Des Moines through a series of interfaith dialogues. It aimed to provide a forum for local religious congregation to discuss issues of religion and how important they are in the community. Educating the community at Drake and Des Moines in general about diversity between and within religions was also a focal point of the project.

Since its inception, a third area of focus was added to produce knowledge in comparative philosophy of historical religions. The project began looking at highly visible “world reli-

“There are all kinds of issues that come with the big projects that come before the city and this five year plan does give us the means and where with all to appropriately plan,” Knable said.

The CIP is funded by seven different sources. The community investment plan has $5,662,200, the general fund has $465,600, the ending fund balance has $1,026,200, the landfill enterprise fund has $4,330,000, the road use tax fund has $3,170,000, the TIF fun has $3,170,000 and the water pollution control fund has $4,638,900 to total $20,377,700.

Winning photos are chosen quarterly and may appear in Grinnell Mutual’s promotional materials. Official rules and entry forms are available online.

The community investment plan, general fund and ending fund balance all rely on the general fund and property taxes for revenue sources.

The landfill enterprise fund gets revenue from the landfill, the road use tax fun receives state revenues, the TIF fund relies on taxes specific to districts and the water pollution control fund is supplied by sewer revenues.

“The landfill and water pollution control enterprise funds, TIF and road use tax have separate revenue sources and capacity to complete most projects presented,” Knable said. “The community investment fun, general fund and ending fund balance have limited capacity and will require funds beyond current resources as mentioned in franchise fee discussion.”

Over the past five years, the general fund has committed 3.2 percent to capital, which was an average of $309,000 and is projected to be less

From the ending fund balance an average of $350,000 has been available over the past five years, which puts a capacity of $175,000. The current CIP requires $205,240 and Knable once again said that the amount needed may not be dependable.

In order to meet the needs of the community investment fund, Knable proposed using a bond issue, which the city has a history of doing, approximately every two years to cover major needs.

The initial amount the fund projects for the first two years is $2,887,700 with projects in six different areas. The airport has projects costing $49,700, new fire equipment totals $940,000, the library has $60,000 in projects, the

doing?” He noted in his report that he’d asked the deputy to watch Lentzkow during the search in which marijuana was found.

The deputy wrote that he was watching Lentzkow and also monitoring oncoming traffic to protect the officers. He drew his gun and unsuccessfully ordered Lentzkow to stop after he got out.

Joe Cacciatore, the attorney for Lentzkow’s family, said relatives are considering legal action against the state and county.

There were only about nine people in attendance at Monday’s meeting, besides the board.

The items that took up the most time were a length were the aging Berg school complex, which the board will take to the voters as an approximately $30-million bond issue, as well as potential reconfiguration and approving the Emerson Hough building as an “educational facility.”

parks has $1,024,000, streets and sidewalks have $770,000 and new warning sirens will cost $44,000.

Knable posed several questions to the council on how it would like to proceed including if bonds should be used every two years for major capital needs, what should be the target for the debt service levy, what are the guidelines for the maximum amount duration and term of the bonds, what areas should be included for bond use and should targets be set for the general fund and ending fund balance.

“Honestly, if we don’t have support from council wanting to commit yourselves to this then let’s not waste a lot of time and energy and public discussion if we’re not interested in doing it,” Knable said.

Council member Noreen Otto replied that she does not like the idea of using bonding but agrees with the way the franchise fee went, the council

needs to make some decisions about the capital projects.

She would like to continue the conversation about bonds and get further questions answered.

Council member Jeff Price agreed that conversation should continue but did say that he thinks bonding is absolutely necessary for the streets. Overall, the council agreed that conversation should continue with further questions to be discussed at the budget meeting.

“I do not believe that we should just allow things to happen to us. I think we should step up and make them happen. We make them happen to do something or we make the decision not to do something, but do it intentionally and we make the conscious choice either we do it or we don’t,” Knable said.

Corn doesn’t grow in a can

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Jan. 14, 2015

“Peaches come in a can. They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown.”

The words of the 1990s band The Presidents of the United States of America certainly apply to me and most other Americans, but I’m out to change that.

My knowledge of fruit processing and packaging is about the same as my knowledge of corn and soybeans. Just as I would hope to learn more about fruit in, say, Georgia or Florida, I hope to learn more about the crops that fuel Iowa. It’s great to be able to learn about new things as a part of regular duties, but as reporter in Jasper County, I’m seeing how learning about farming and agriculture can help me become a more well-rounded human being.

Many of the problems in modern society have to do with human relations — humans not communicating, or being unwilling or uncaring toward others who are not exactly like them.

It seems if we could learn more about each other — what we do, where we go, what are challenges are and how we address them — it would help us progress toward co-existing with less friction and unrest. Of course, some people tell it as if there were one human solution to all of our world’s ills.

If this one condition could be changed, all would be well. I don’t think things will get easier or smoother in this life with any one magic solution — but I believe learning where food comes from is an important step in a complex process.

A businessman in a large East Coast city, whose knowledge of Iowa might come purely from the Internet, late-night comedians and magazine photos, would be widely criticized for having never been out to the fields or the co-ops or the stockyards to see “boots on the ground” and the real work involved.

While I did grow up far from the fields of Jasper County, not

knowing much more about Iowa than what teachers or textbooks told me, I can change that now.

I’m here and willing to learn.

Just as planting corn is one of many steps in making cornmeal, getting the first basic facts is an important step in learning. It doesn’t seem to slow folks down in an argument when they are confronted about a lack of basic knowledge about soil or growing seasons, but I don’t want to be that guy.

It seems easy to find people with strong opinions about agriculture.

There seems to be plenty of positive and encouraging, uplifting dialogue, about how we’re almost there, and about to turn the corner in healthy, efficient farming that profits many. Yet at the same time, and, in some cases, within the same conversations, doomsayers talk about the imminent demise of humanity, fueled by greed and toxic products and processes.

Who has the answers to the heaviest farming questions?

Probably not guys in suits in big cities — unless they’ve been farmers themselves. But farmers and guys in suits are both part of the same economy and infrastructure, so it’s important for them to understand each others’ way of life.

I’ve got a long way to go before even understanding the basics of Iowa corn production. Just this week, I learned how farmers tend to place seed orders with co-ops in the mid-fall. Just because I started at the same place as others doesn’t mean I need to stay there.

Learning about agriculture won’t push me into some higher moral order, above others who don’t hunger for the same knowledge, but it will help me make more informed choices.

On New Year’s Eve, I made a resolution to be more active.

O n N e w Ye a r ’s Day, I broke my foot.

S o that’s the way it’s gonna be,

By Katiedid huh? Oh, Langrock it’s on, 2015! It. Is. On! I guess I shouldn’t bust out the brass knuckles just yet — or, you know, buy them. Where does one buy such a thing? Do I lose my street cred if I pick up a decorative pair in the gift shop for the “Newsies” musical?

It is a tad premature to purchase a weapon with a no-return policy. I don’t really know whether I broke my foot. I just really think I did. Despite my best efforts, the results have been inconclusive. Either way, it hurts like a beast, and this limp didn’t exactly help me hit the ground running on my resolution.

It all started about noon on Jan. 1. My son and I had come in from a walk, and I was chasing after him and tickling him, when I rammed my foot into the corner of our coffee table. Lesson learned: Never, ever, under any circumstances, play with your children.

Everyone is skilled in something. My talent lies in breaking my extremities.

I broke my big toe a week before my first marathon.

I broke my right thumb within the first month of a four-month backpacking trip in Europe. Nearly 10 years later, I still can’t lift it high enough to hitchhike back east. I broke two toes jumping into a shallow pool. Then I broke the rest of the toes slipping on ice while on crutches from the pool break. I am wellversed in tiny digit trauma.

And this 2015 coffee table incident was, in my estimation, a solid break of at least one of my toes.

Not that I’d let that stop me. After all, I had postponed getting my toe looked at until after the marathon so the doctor wouldn’t dissuade me

from running. Every step of those 26.2 miles sent spikes of pain up my leg.

I’d still hoofed around the EU, waiting until I arrived home to go to a doctor.

Some people call this stupid. Namely, my mom. But I call it, well, stupid. But far be it from me to be someone I am not.

Stubborn and unabashedly committed to my resolution, I refused to let my injured foot stop me from being more active. So I went to a buffet. There is a lot of walking at a buffet.

At least, there is if you’re doing it right.

Over the next few days, my toes stayed blue. And then they turned kinda knobby. A tad crooked.

The whole top quarter of my foot went black, too.

But I’m fairly confident I read that you shouldn’t see a doctor unless your toes actually start falling off.

Knowing I could rent a wheelchair, I went to the zoo. I only had to hobble across the great expanse of the parking lot. And then one flight of stairs. And then another flight. And then a third, before arriving at the kiosk where you rent wheelchairs. Only to be told we needed to provide a cash deposit and must walk to the other end of the zoo village to access an ATM. Five days after the injury, I still had not regained movement in my last three toes. I went to urgent care.

They didn’t have an X-ray machine. Instead, they relied on an ultrasound. After gooping up my toes and maneuvering the ultrawand around my foot, the doctor announced that my fourth toe is pregnant with twins. We are all very excited but unsure which of my other toes is the father.

OK, the doctor didn’t see twins. The problem was he didn’t see much of anything.

The swelling had caused a fuzzy image. He sent me to another clinic, whose X-ray machine was broken. They sent me to a third clinic, which was too busy to see me. Yesterday I returned to the third clinic and had to wait, standing and pacing in the waiting room for two hours before I was X-rayed.

I’m currently waiting to hear from the doctor regarding the results.

Before you lose your cool, find out what makes you hot DEAR ABBY: I’m a good person, but when I get frustrated over something, I fly off the handle. I date, have several close friends and a good job in a field I enjoy.

Stresses in life are normal. But sometimes I blow up over things.

When it happens, I can see my coworkers and friends are taken aback by my behavior. I need to improve this. I’m worried my explosive temper will affect my relationships, my job and the people I see socially. I heard you have a booklet about this issue.

Where can I get one, and do you have any advice for me? — HOT AND BOTHERED IN ATLANTA DEAR HOT AND BOTHERED: Yes, I do. While anger is a normal emotion, the problem with a hair-trigger temper is that people who fly off the handle often shoot themselves in the foot. That’s why it’s important to develop tools to recognize, control and channel anger effectively without exploding.

A first step in doing that is to analyze what may be setting you off.

Does being overtired, hungry or not feeling up to par cause you to lash out? Feeling vulnerable has been known to make people feel angry and has negatively affected relationships.

When a person’s beliefs or values are questioned, they can become angry and, believe it or not, low self-esteem causes people to fly off the handle.

People who suffer from feelings of inadequacy constantly try to prove themselves — which drives them to win every “battle” whether it’s a discussion about sports or any other subject that arises.

Most adults learn from early childhood to manage anger. But it’s equally important to learn to EXPRESS anger in ways that are constructive. In my booklet “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With

It,” I offer tools for channeling anger. (First among them is to recognize you are becoming angry before losing control.) It also contains suggestions for managing and expressing anger appropriately. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby — Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

Shipping and handling are included in the price. I hope it will be helpful for you. It takes maturity to identify and verbalize negative emotions rather than lash out at others. Being able to calmly say, “When you do that (or say that) it makes me angry” will earn you the respect of others. And it’s the key to defusing anger before losing control.

DEAR ABBY: What are my financial obligations if I invite a gentleman to a formal out-of-state wedding? Must I pay 100 percent for airfare, hotel, meals and clothing? — PROPER MISS IN OHIO DEAR PROPER MISS: If the man is a gentleman, he will offer to split the cost of the airfare, hotel and meals with you. If he’s not — or can’t afford it — then the person footing the bills will be you and only you.

STORM LAKE — A northwest Iowa woman has been convicted of charges she pretended to be a nurse to obtain prescription drugs to sell.

Police say 30-year-old Kayleen Leedahl, of Royal, pleaded guilty to three counts of felony obtaining or attempting to obtain a prescription drug by deceit.

Branstad will not attend Obama Iowa event Wednesday DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad will not attend President Barack Obama’s event in Cedar Falls Wednesday.

Local legislators take oath for 2015 session Submitted photo Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) is seen here signing the oath of office in the Iowa House chamber as the 86th General Assembly kicked off Monday at the Capitol. During the session, Heartsill can be reached at greg.heartsill@ legis.iowa.gov or through the House switchboard at 515-281-3221.

Submitted photo Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) receives his Senate pin from retired State Sen. Dennis Black. Allen was elected to Senate District 15 in November, with the district encompassing a large segment of Jasper County, and the eastern third of Polk County. Allen’s family was at Monday’s swearing-in ceremony, where he took the oath of office along with other Senators that were elected and re-elected. Allen’s wife and two daughters, along with his parents, watch as Black pins his personal Senate pin on Allen’s lapel. The same pin was worn by Black’s predecessor, William Dialeman.

Branstad: 2015 devoted to better roads, Internet capability The Associated Press DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad said Tuesday that he plans to spend this year working to improve Iowa’s roads and Internet infrastructure and to combat school bullying, among other things.

Branstad told the General Assembly during his 2015 Condition of the State speech that it is time to find a bipartisan solution that will increase funding for the state’s bridges and roads, many of which are in disrepair.

“Without action, Iowa’s roads and bridges face an uncertain future.

Our farmers will find it more difficult in delivering commodities to market,” said Branstad, who called on lawmakers to

help him craft a bipar tisan approach to funding the repairs instead of laying out Branstad a plan of his own.

Branstad, a Republican who will be sworn in for his sixth term as governor on Friday, has proposed a slightly larger general fund budget for the next fiscal year, of $7.3 billion.

He said he will seek the approval of two initiatives that failed last year — an expansion of broadband Internet and an effort to crack down on bullying. His proposals this year include

a grant fund for Internet investments and an anti-bullying plan that provides students and schools with more discretion over parental notification.

“Together we can make 2015 the year Iowa acted to protect our children and grandchildren by ending bullying in schools,” Branstad said.

The budget plan also includes funding to support a tuition freeze at state universities and some additional funding for schools. Branstad also proposed more investment in parks and cultural initiatives and said he will offer legislation to crack down on domestic violence through increased penalties for repeat offenders.

Submitted Photo State Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) took the Oath of Office at the Iowa State Capitol House Chambers Monday. He was joined by his family and several friends from Newton. His 10-year-old nephew Trevor held the Bible for Kelley during the oath on the House Floor. Kelley was re-elected to a third term in the Iowa House in November.

Huckabee slams Obama for letting daughters listen to Beyoncé The Associated Press DES MOINES — Former Arkansas Gov.

While promoting his new book, Huckabee told People magazine, “I don’t under-

Huckabee described the Grammy Awardwinning Beyoncé in his book as “mental poison.”

The first lady’s office declined to comment on Huckabee’s comments.

Huckabee recently stepped down from his role at Fox News as host of a weekend program. Having run for president in 2008, and considered running in 2012, Huckabee has said he’s weighing whether to seek the GOP nomination in 2016.

Huckabee is no stranger to such pointed statements.

Ninth-ranked Pella downs Cardinal boys

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Responding was key for Newton High’s Cardinals Tuesday. Newton’s boys responded in the correct way to a disappointing loss Friday at Oskaloosa. They responded correctly to having one of their top scorers sidelined with an injury.

Despite another slow start, the Cardinals were in position to upend Class 3A’s ninth-ranked Pella Little Dutch Tuesday. Newton erased an eight-point first-quarter deficit to trail by three at halftime and to make it a back-and-forth game in the second half.

The Dutch got a threepoint play from Will Warner to open the fourth quarter to push the lead to 44-36. Pella fended off each challenge Newton mounted in the final eight minutes, including hitting seven free throws in the last minute to post a 5948 Little Hawkeye Conference win over the Cardinals.

“The effort was there all night,” said Nick Wilkins, Cardinal head coach, following the loss at home. “We talked about responding tonight. We believe we’re a better team than Oskaloosa, but we shot 5-of-30 last Friday night from 3-point range and some night’s that happens.

“Our guys didn’t get down.

Shots weren’t falling for us again early tonight. The guys stayed with it. Not having Nick (Easley) was tough tonight but Drew Stout played amazing for us. Everyone stepped up tonight.”

Senior guard Nick Easley suffered a foot injury at the

end of Friday’s game at Oskaloosa and was on crutches Tuesday. Easley said he was hoping to be back by Friday’s home game against Norwalk. Wilkins said Easley’s status for that game is still unknown.

Wilkins pointed to the defensive job the Cardinals did against a Pella team that has already scored 90 points in a game this season. He said to hold Pella, which scores in the 80s, to 59 points was tremendous.

After Warner’s threepoint play at the start of the fourth quarter, Newton responded with a 3-pointer by Jake Bennett and a tip-in by Joseph Banfield to trim the margin to three points, 4441, by the 6:18 mark.

The Little Dutch scored the next six points. Devin Shores scored for Newton with 4:14 on the game clock to make it 50-43. Connor Gholson came up with a steal leading to a bucket by Banfield at it was 50-45 with 2:15 remaining to play.

Jackson Scholton sank both ends of a one-and-one for Pella to push the lead back to seven. Gholson’s only three of the night came at the 1:25 mark and Newton was back to within four with 1:25 left.

Following a timeout, Pella was content to work the ball on offense. Newton used fouls to stop the clock and extend the game. Ryan VanWyk went 3-for-4 at the free-throw line for Pella.

With 5.2 seconds left, Isaac Naaktgeboren was fouled plus a technical foul was assessed against Wilkins.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Jordan Travis (30) bends a bit to take a shot over the defense of Pella’s William Warner (31) in the second half of Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game at Newton. Newton wiped out an eight-point first quarter deficit to trail by three at halftime, but came up short late, falling to the Class 3A 9th-ranked Little Dutch, 59-48.

Ranked Lady Dutch too much for Cardinal girls

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News For more than five minutes, Newton High’s Cardinals held Class 4A 12th-ranked Pella’s Lady Dutch without a field goal. Then the flood gates opened.

Victoria Jordan came off the Newton bench to score the first field goal of Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference home game. Jordan’s basket with 2:56 left in the first quarter narrowed Pella’s lead to 4-3.

Pella’s Katie Vander Molen drained a 3-pointer at the 2:25 mark. Another three by Katie Finney put the Lady Dutch up 11-3 with 25 seconds left.

Over the first four minutes of the second period, Pella outscored Newton 15-3 en route to a 59-35 win.

“We came ready not to play,” said Brandon Sharp, Newton head coach.

“We’re right there to finish in the top half of the conference and we can’t come out and play like this, if we want to finish in the top half. We can’t let this happen again.

“I know our girls will learn from

this game.”

Sharp said the first quarter was very sloppy for both teams, easy shots missed at both ends of the court. He said the Cardinals gave a very good Pella team too many second-point chances. Newton got out rebounded by the Lady Dutch, 48-32.

“Two main focus points for us are when we get the ball by the basket, we have to finish, and for us to compete, we have to win the rebounding battle.

We didn’t do either tonight,” Sharp said.

The Cardinals faced a 37-10 half-

time deficit. They came out of the locker room ready to play in the second half. Jessica Reynolds took the ball inside for two points then Michaela Jacobsen hit a 3-pointer. Pella’s lead was 53-15 midway through the third quarter.

Newton outscored Pella 26-22 in the second half, but the 27-point difference in the first half was too much to come back from for the Cardinals.

Newton shot 22 percent, 10-of-45, from the field. At the free-throw line, GIRLS | 3B

Tuttle helps 23rd-ranked UNI beat rival Braves PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson liked what he saw early in his team’s 63-53 win over Missouri Valley Conference foe Bradley Tuesday night.

But he wished he could forget the final five minutes of a game that saw the Panther’s ninth-ranked defense nearly crumble under an unexpected onslaught from a Bradley team that trailed by more than 20 points just 12 minutes earlier.

“Our offense and defense were terrific in that first half,” Jacobson said.

“But that last four or five minutes, well, I guess that would be on my shoulders. I needed to get them into something that was working against the increased pressure, and didn’t get it done.”

Despite the late troubles, No. 23 Northern Iowa escaped with the win, thanks in part to 6-8 senior forward Seth Tuttle, who calmly sank four free throws in the final minutes to ice the win.

“Tuttle is just a great player,” said Bradley coach Geno Ford. “Everything they do goes through him. He controls the whole game out there.”

The Panthers (15-2, 4-1 MVC) dominated the Braves both offensively and defensively early, leading 29-9 at one point late in the first half.

Nate Buss and Paul Jesperson chipped in 11 and 9 points respectively for Northern Iowa.

Troy Hyde/Daily News file photo Colfax-Mingo junior Jacob Lietz, right, puts up a shot in the lane against North Polk’s Blake Brauer (45) last Friday in Colfax. Tuesday, Lietz had nine points and six rebounds, but the Tigerhawks lost 66-47 to Nevada.

NEVADA — Colin Lourens had another double-double, Blake Summy put in a season-high and Jarod Nichols grabbed 10 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough for the ColfaxMingo boys’ basketball team on the road.

The Tigerhawks led for a good chunk of the first half, but suffered a 66-47 loss to Nevada on Tuesday night.

Lourens had 16 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Tigerhawks, while Blake Summy added a season-high 11 points.

Summy came into the game with 15 points total in the first seven games of the year.

“Our kids played hard,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said. “We led a good deal of the first half and handled their full-court pressure pretty well most of the time.

“We still need to finish more of our close shots and make more free throws. We could have been right there with a chance to win if we do that.”

Colfax-Mingo led 13-10 after one quarter but trailed 2821 at the break.

Nevada took control for good with a 20-8 surplus in the third.

Uthoff’s shot lifts Hawkeyes to crucial win at Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The second-half fade has become a theme for Iowa this season.

So has the resilient win on the road.

Jarrod Uthoff ’s pull-up jumper with 3.5 seconds left Tuesday lifted Iowa to a 7775 victory over Minnesota, sealed when DeAndre Mathieu’s full-court drive for a layup at the buzzer was ruled a split-second late.

“We’re kind of a calm bunch. We’re not an overly emotional group. We don’t typically rattle. We had to fight on those last four minutes,” Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffrey said. “I’m really proud of how we did that.”

Uthoff had 16 of his careerhigh 22 points in the second half for the Hawkeyes (12-5, 3-1 Big Ten), who squandered a 17-point lead when the Gophers scored on 15 of 16 possessions. They led 7369 with 3:11 remaining on a 3-pointer by Joey King, but two front-end misses on oneand-one free-throw oppor-

tunities was sandwiched around a pair of foul shots

by Uthoff with 2:24 left.

The 6-foot8 transfer from Wisconsin followed with McCaffrey a 3-pointer for a 75-73 lead, and Mathieu answered with the tying reverse layup with 1:39 remaining.

But the Hawkeyes got the ball back with 37 seconds left and set up a play for Uthoff, who had a seven-inch height advantage over his defender, Andre Hollins, when he let the ball go from the elbow of the lane. The Gophers were playing three guards at the time.

“If I would’ve jumped with him, I would’ve fouled him because I was literally right on his hip,” a subdued Hollins said.

Mathieu was even more distraught in the locker room after his end-to-end race to

re-tie the game was waved off, a call affirmed by review.

His double clutch as he approached the defense in the lane delayed his release of the ball just long enough to negate the basket.

“Nothing’s going our way,” Mathieu said.

McCaffrey was preoccupied with concern about Iowa’s lax defense on the play.

“It was no good, so I can only say it was no good,” the coach said. “Kid made a heck of a play.”

Carlos Morris scored 20 points for the Gophers (117, 0-5), who have lost four of their five conference games by five points or fewer.

“We talk about finishing the job, and the last five games we didn’t finish the job,” said Nate Mason, who bumped Mathieu from the starting lineup and had 17 points.

The Hawkeyes made seven of their first eight shots and stretched a 38-27 advantage at the break into a 17-point lead before the first

television timeout of the second half, before Mason carried Minnesota through the dawn of the comeback with his finest college performance yet. With a 3-pointer and a layup on consecutive possessions, the freshman brought the Gophers within 59-53 to lift the crowd noise to its loudest level to that point.

Mathieu, bumped from his starting spot by Mason, swished a 3-pointer from the corner with a little more than seven minutes remaining to cut the deficit to 65-64 and got a jarring bear hug from coach Richard Pitino right after that. King’s 3-pointer with 6:21 left gave the Gophers their first lead of the game at 67-65.

But the Hawkeyes, who turned halftime leads into double-digit defeats against Texas, Northern Iowa and Michigan State, kept their poise.

“This is huge for our confidence, huge for our morale,” Uthoff said.

Naaktgeboren downed four straight free throws to seal the game for the Little Dutch.

“Drew and Jake Bennett hit some big threes at big spots for us in the game. They are guys not looked upon by other teams as scorers and to have them execute and score for us tonight was great,” Wilkins said.

“We had guys doing a lot of little things right out there and we saw a lot of good things from our team tonight.”

Newton’s offense was slow to get going again. The Cardinals trailed 7-3 when Bennett drained a 3-pointer with 2:50 left in the first quarter. Pella carried a 14-6 lead into the second period.

Grant Judkins opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer for Pella. Newton’s Tyler Wood made a high lob pass to the basket and Jordan Travis finished with a basket. Banfield scored for the Cardinals to cut the deficit to seven, 17-10.

Newton was down 21-12 when Stout and Bennett drained backto-back threes. A trey by Wood at the 3:23 mark made it 23-21.

Pella responded with a outback

by Warner and a field goal by Garrett Jansen.

Wood netted a 3-pointer with 1:32 left in the first half and Newton wad down by three, 2724. A strong defensive stand and Newton had the basketball at the end of the second quarter.

A long 3-point attempt by Wood with about three seconds left on the clock bounced off the front of the rim. Newton trailed 27-24 at the break.

The Cardinals outscored the Little Dutch 6-2 in the opening two minutes of the third quarter to take their only lead, 3029, of the night. Travis had the first basket which was answered by a bucket from Pella’s Warner.

Wood scored then Banfield’s field goal put the Cardinals up.

Pella claimed an offensive rebound off a missed free throw and Seth Johnson buried a three.

Stout

Bennett

Wood had a three-point play at Newton’s end with 4:38 left in the third and it was 34-33.

Down by three, Stout drilled a trey at the 3:35 mark to tie the game at 36-36, but Pella scored five unanswered to lead 41-36 heading into the fourth quarter.

The Little Dutch cashed in on 21-of-27 free throw attempts in the game while Newton attempted just two, hitting both, free throws in the game.

“Hey, as I told our guys after the game, this is still a work in progress and we’re not quite halfway through the season,” Wilkins said. “We get to play these teams again, which is fun. We’ll build on this and get ready for Norwalk on Friday.”

Wood topped the Newton scoring list with 11 points followed by Banfield with 10. Bennett added nine and Stout had six — all those points came on 3-point field goals from the two guards.

Naaktegboren was 7-of-8 at the line on his way to a team-high 16 points for Pella. Warner tossed in 12 points. Pella improved to 7-2 overall and 3-2 in Little Hawkeye play.

Newton is 1-4 in LHC action and 5-5 overall. The Cardinals host Norwalk Friday.

Astrograph Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015

The Mars-square-Saturn situation rocks people to the core. Ambitions that felt like a natural extension of who we are suddenly get thwarted. Not only that, but foundational thinking will feel all wrong. Why did we want it in the first place? Don’t let yourself get too disheartened.

Be inwardly gentle and reasonable as you question your original intentions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 14). What makes this year’s story so great is that whatever comes, love and perseverance will win out in the end. The next six weeks bring a lucky break.

Just don’t try to grow too quickly, and save your money. March is a happy song for your love life, and many people will be happy to share your joy. Aries and Gemini people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 5, 23, 4, 11 and 14.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Happiness is simple today. You put your whole self into mundane tasks like paying bills or making dinner. Conse-

quently, your good fortune will continue.

replacing the habit with a better one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Without an injection of fantasy, things could get very dull indeed. Today is for imagining something different for your life.

Draw it or write about it to flesh out the delightful details.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Before you let yourself fall for the thing that is out of reach, be sure it’s worth falling for. Make sure that “unobtainable” isn’t the most appealing thing about it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The social basics will apply: no whispering or telling secrets about others. If everyone would keep these rules, the world would be a much happier place.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hold on, because today’s atmosphere may turn wild, hectic and unsupportive. It’s why you need to give yourself a good breakfast and leave plenty of time for getting from place to place.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re allowed to make lists that you have no intention of ever executing, and it’s a good exercise for today. A list can be like a playground for your mind, a mental way of trying things on for size.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

No one can be exactly like you, though a few will try!

Take it as a compliment.

You’re the big sibling of the zodiac now, and the others are learning from the way you manage things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re still trying to break yourself of a certain habit that no longer serves you well. You’ll have more success when you think of

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). The ones who try to eliminate the competition through negative press are clearly insecure about what they have to offer.

The only legitimate way to eliminate the competition is to do it better, faster or cheaper. Maybe all three!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Today features high stakes and intense competition.

Keep in mind that an obliging attitude will gain you more respect than any fine trapping you could drive around in or throw on your back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You give smiles, help and many other things besides money. It just doesn’t quite feel right to hand over cash. Tighten those purse strings. Hold back until you’re sure where your money will do the most good.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Change is natural, but it’s not always easy. In order to become who you want to be, you have to sacrifice something about the person you are now.
