Parking concerns addressed, more on tap in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Icicles drip off branches in Jasper County. A winter storm blanketed the county in ice Sunday night and early Monday morning causing slick roads and dangerous travel conditions. More rain is expected Monday, but temperatures are forecast to rise above freezing Monday afternoon.

Winter storm impacts roads, closes schools Newton Daily News A strong winter storm remains on track for much of Iowa through Monday, prompting all Jasper County schools to close.

The National Weather Service said more rain is expected Monday, but the temperature in most spots is hovering above the freezing mark.

There were several weather related school closings in Jasper County Monday, including, Newton, Baxter, Colfax-Mingo and Prairie City-Monroe.

The period of most impactful weather was expected Sunday night through Monday with significant amounts of freezing rain possible, resulting in extremely hazardous travel conditions.

The National Weather Service in Des Moines issued an ice storm ICE | 3A

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News A winter storm impacted roads and closed Jasper County schools Monday. The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office states that all roads in the county are 100 percent covered.

A stretch of road located near Newton High school will no longer h a v e parking restrictions.

City council expedited the process and waived Wellik the third reading of an ordinance adopting an amendment lifting special parking restrictions on East 4 1/2 Street South from South Seventh Avenue to South Eighth Avenue.

“The current ordinance restricts parking from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday when school is in session,” interim city administrator Jarrod Wellik said. “Due to parking lot expansion at the NCSD this roadway is no longer used for school parking.”

The traffic safety committee assessed the area and recommended lifting the special restriction. A survey was also sent out to those living in the neighborhood with no responses received back to the city.

Additional parking changes will be up for a third reading and potential adoption into ordinance at the city council meeting on Monday. Amendments include allowing parking on the north side of the 300 block of South Second Avenue East and restricting parallel parking on the north curb of South Third Avenue East PARKING | 3A

Need for foster homes in Jasper County continues Iowa Kids Net raising awareness through Heart Gallery

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News The Heart Gallery of Iowa, featuring portraits of foster children, made its way to the Newton YMCA this month and will be displayed at the Newton Public Library next month.

It’s rather easy to overlook the portraits of children and teens at the entryway, and it’s even

harder to know each child’s story without digging a little deeper.

The gallery is a part of Iowa Kids Net’s initiative to find foster and adoptive families for children across the state of Iowa who are in urgent situations.

Children in the photos displayed have been selected by an adoption worker who needed assistance in finding an

adoptive family, Ann Kopf, of Iowa Kids Net said. Kopf helps assist families in the eastern portion of the state, including Jasper County.

“Basically the kids that we have that go into care are from the Department of Human Services or from juvenile court or are unable to remain with their birth families,” Kopf said. “The majority of our kids are older kids, we typically don’t get a newborn baby.”

FOSTER | 3A

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Iowa Kids Net has set up portraits of four children at the Newton YMCA in an effort to find them a warm, nurturing home. The gallery is a part of Iowa Kids Net’s initiative to find foster and adoptive families for children across the state of Iowa who are in urgent situations.

In Brief

Edward Jones financial advisor announces grand opening

Anthony Victor Reyes/Daily News Musicians, Kevin “Acousti-Beast” Best, left, and Darren Matthews, right, perform a cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Waiting On A Friend” at Cadillac Jack’s Friday night. The bar offers live music from 8 to 11 p.m. every Friday.

Cadillac Jack’s beats the winter blues with live music

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News BAXTER – It’s Friday night and you had a long week.

Instead of driving 20 minutes to Des Moines through high winds and icy roads, you may want to plop yourself on a bar stool at Cadillac Jack’s, order a whiskey and enjoy some good, live music performed by local artists.

“I think it is important for the community as a whole to have things to do, right here in our community,” said Joan Wade, co-owner of Cadillac Jack’s.

The Baxter bar, located at 106 N. Main St., features live music every Friday from 8 to 11 p.m.

“A lot of the (bands) play covers that everybody knows and all of a sudden, everybody is singing along or making requests,” Wade said.

“There are some (bands) that really get into the crowd and interact with the crowd. It just makes it even more fun.”

During the chilly months of winter, the bar invites musicians to perform indoors to encourage residents to get out and socialize.

“In the winter time, January and

February, everybody gets the winter blahs and the winter blues. I just think it is something fun to do,” Wade said.

The bands are typically from the Des Moines area, according to Wade.

She said the musicians tend to play covers of popular country, rock and blues tunes.

“We get a couple of (bands) from out of state,” bartender Celeigh Meyer said. “Iowa, Des Moines, Newton — that’s the bulk of where these bands come from.”

Wade said she enjoys hosting these live performances because she gets to see the young talent the area has to offer.

“One of my favorite things is when we hire one of these young people to come in here and they just blow you away with just how talented they are. Everybody in here is like ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe he can sing like that, play guitar like that. It’s just crazy,’” Wade said. “There has been a few of those.”

Kevin “Acousti-Beast” Best performed at the bar Jan. 6. Joined by local musician, Darren Matthews, the duo played acoustic, rock-and-roll covers of artists, including The Who and the Rolling Stones.

“Darren and I played with each other for a couple of years,” Best said.

“Now, we just go out there and have some fun.”

Wade said on occasion, some Baxter artists show off their musical talent at the Friday evening performances.

“We have one band from Baxter called the Clear Creek Outlaws,” she said. “We get a lot of Baxter people come to see them, specifically. They do a lot of early, rock-and-roll music, and they throw in some country.”

According to Wade, the bar has been offering live music for more than a year. She said that business has increased ever since the drinkery began inviting bands to perform.

“These musicians are putting their heart and soul into what they are doing, you can just tell. That’s what they do. That’s what they live for. That’s what drives them,” Wade said. “I think that’s awesome. I wish I could do that. I’m all about supporting these guys.”

New university center promotes students’ innovation CEDAR FALLS (AP) — T.J. Nissen had a product he was ready to sell after five years of creating online and role-playing games.

The University of Northern Iowa freshman gained little traction, though, as he peddled the homemade-looking books and other gaming items produced through his business, Network Nirvana. During a chance encounter while sell-

ing the games at a convention, Nissen learned about the R.J. McElroy Student Business Incubator at UNI’s John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center. A month later, in April 2015, he became a tenant with his own office.

Now a junior, the Evansdale native has launched three feebased online game worlds and recently announced his latest creations, all built on the Mi-

2017

necraft platform. He counts 40 to 50 “consistent users” of the game worlds, many of whom access it for free through computers at the Cedar Falls Public Library — which is Nissen’s biggest subscriber.

“I learned a lot about business and what people will and won’t buy,” he said during the first year. In addition, the office space has “established a lot more credibility than being in

my parents’ basement.”

On the second floor of the Business and Community Services building, the incubator offers 10 office suites to budding entrepreneurs, plus a co-working space. Students who are researching or developing a business idea can apply for the office space. Laurie Watje, manager of the incubator, said those chosen pay no rent, but “they need to be engaged

in the program, they need to show progress in the business” to keep the space.

Nissen received assistance at the incubator in connecting with people who helped improve the presentation of Network Nirvana products.

He hired professional artists to create many of the graphics in the games as well as in an updated version of their companion book.

Police seek help locating theft suspect Newton Daily News The public’s assistance is needed in locating Cody Allen Martin, 20, of Newton, in connection with the theft of a motorcycle. The motorcycle was reported stolen from a residence in Colfax. Contact the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office at 641-7925912 with any information.

Foster Continued from Page 1A Kopf said finding homes for teens is particularly harder, especially when sibling groups of three or four need homes — often times forcing the siblings to split up.

“People get scared off by teens, but they want families too and they want commitment,” Kopf said.

“They are moving on with their life but they still need people to come home to as a safety net.”

Kopf said Jasper County has some amazing families who have stepped up and taken in teens.

“The majority of the time they are adopted by the family that has been caring for them,” Kopf said.

“Because they know the positive of the kids, and they know the not so good things and that’s what we need is people to take them in.”

Kopf noted one Jasper County family who has gone above and beyond.

“One family in particular has adopted multiple children from a foster care family but one little girl was still living there, and it was one of those middle of the night things, and this family drove 30 to 40 miles to pick up this little girl,” Kopf said.

Kopf said the Heart Gallery is one of the methods of getting awareness to the regular community.

“I think people have the misconception of the kids who are coming into care — the Heart Gallery helps put a face to the child and helps people have some understanding,” Kopf said. “It puts a face to the child who is waiting and helps people realize they can be a family for that kid and the kids are worth it. Life doesn’t happen without some bumps in the road but its about the journey we all go on as children and families.”

Vivian Willemsen, a recruiter licensing specialist for Iowa Kids Net, said Jasper County has a little more than 30 foster homes but it’s not enough to meet the need.

“It is very unfortunate because if the child goes to Newton High School or an elementary school here, the kid gets taken out of the community, if they can’t find a home in Jasper County,” Willemsen said.

Willemsen said taking in a child can be challenging but it is ultimately beneficial for both the child and family.

“Every other month we are in Newton to hold informational meetings,” Willemsen said.

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

’m in the process of celebrating my birthday. While technically the day of my birth is Jan. 15, I typically like to observe the greater part of the month to sort of even the playing field. I have a bogus January birthday, which has never allowed me to celebrate with a pool party, wear a sleeveless sundress or have a pool party. OK, I’ve been really ticked about no pool party since I was a little kid. If you’re in the family planning stage of your life, please consider this.

There comes some reflection when another year of existence rolls around.

I’ve been thinking about a few things I wish I could tell my younger self. Here it goes:

• You don’t have to have your mouth open to apply mascara. I know this may seem trivial, but I think it was invented by some Hollywood types for the movies to make women look foolish. I’m glad you made this discovery early on, like at age 16, but honestly, you started wearing mascara before then and fell for the trap.

• Don’t date the guy you had a crush on in high school later in life. Just don’t.

• You will never develop the ability to relax and/or nap. You’re just not wired that way. It’s OK be super jealous of people with this knack though.

• You are a newspaper journalist. Do not even explore that broadcasting class in college, because that is a waste of time. You’ll wonder years later whether the footage still exists.

• Spend more time with your grandpar-

ents — even if all they want to talk about is the weather and politics. Your heart will be broken when they’re gone.

• Don’t go to the Guns N’ Roses concert.

Axl Rose doesn’t take the stage until after 2 a.m. and this night will ruin their music for eternity.

• When your husband turns 40 he will gain some weight. Like quite a bit of weight for a skinny dude. People will tell him he looks GREAT. Don’t waste time getting mad about this even though nobody would ever compliment a woman for gaining weight, ever. He loses the weight without any effort. Do not threaten his life because of this.

• It’s OK to flip off your kids behind their backs when they are being jerks. It’s actually a valuable parenting tool in the sense it allows for you to release some steam while not freaking out on the small humans.

• Don’t ever start judging people when you’re working out at the gym. It’s wasted, negative energy. It’s really not that big of a deal if they want to talk on their phone or not pull up their hair or wipe down their

machines. Even though you should really wipe down your machine, guys. But if you don’t do it, I will do it for you because OCD. • Don’t eat at the Indian restaurant your friend wants to try.

• Most people will like “Game of Thrones.” You will not. Save yourself from season one.

• Skip Myspace and go right to Facebook.

• Don’t spend so much time on Facebook. Talk to people. Read books. Go places.

• When you accidentally start smoking cigarettes — for two weeks — years after you quit, don’t spend the next two years chewing Nicorette. You can wean yourself off with the patch.

• Britney Spears makes it through 2007 and you’ll still listen to her music in 2017.

Just FYI. • Buy a Powerball ticket for Jan. 13, 2016 select the numbers 4-8-19-27-34 and Powerball number 10.

Eye on America John Stossel

Worst of times Now that I no longer do a weekly TV show, I have more time to read my local paper. Sadly, that’s The New York Times.

The Times actually does some good reporting, but their political and economic coverage is filled with deceit.

Can I find deceit every day? You bet. Take a look at a few days just last week.

—Thursday: The front page: “NAFTA’s promise is falling short, Mexicans agree.”

Wow, the Times now embraces Donald Trump’s position on trade? Economists estimate that 14 million jobs depend upon NAFTA, but people everywhere often oppose trade because the smaller number of jobs lost is more visible than gradual gains.

What evidence of NAFTA’s failings does the Times offer? Oddly, the article says “the workforce has grown.”

Ah, hello? Job growth is good.

Jose Luis Rico “earns well under $10,000 a year.”

Not much by American standards, but good for Latin America, and the reporter mentions that Rico got “a handful of raises.” Have you gotten “a handful of raises”?

Despite NAFTA, the “gap between the nation’s rich and poor persists.”

Duh. Trade doesn’t eliminate wealth gaps — it may increase the gap because the cleverest traders get rich. But since the poor gain jobs and wealth, too, so what?

Finally, the clueless Times reporter quotes a Mexican politician and crony capitalist complaining: “Government has not established policies to protect Mexican businesses.”

But “protection” for some businesses is corporate welfare — welfare for the rich. It hurts poor people by raising prices. The Times wants that? Maybe they’re sucking up to Donald Trump and his friend Carlos Slim, Mexico’s richest crony capitalist, and the Times’ biggest shareholder.

—Friday: A front-page story smears David and Charles Koch.

First, the reporter labels them “the ultraconservative billionaire brothers.” Ultra? Why ultra? Why conservative even?

The Kochs favor liberal immigration rules, gay marriage, legal drugs, ending racial discrimination in criminal sentencing, fighting in fewer foreign wars and getting rid of government bailouts and favors for businesses, including their own. David Koch supports higher taxes to reduce the deficit. Which of those things is conservative?!

Maybe the Times calls the Kochs “ultraconservative” because a political group they support points out, “Policies that subsidize electric vehicles and solar panels for the wealthy raise energy prices” and gas and oil are cheaper for everyone. The reporter adds that the group even showed a “video of people driving, turning on lights and plugging in appliances.” Oh, no! How terrible!

The reporter claims the “Kochs have long worked to quash ... renewable energy sources like wind and solar.”

But they haven’t! They try to quash subsidies for renewables. Big difference. Doesn’t the Times know the difference?

The Times appeals to its Trump-hating readers with a headline that begins “Sensing Gains Ahead Under Trump, the Kochs ...” But the Kochs didn’t give Trump a penny.

It’s time for the Times to stop calling all their opponents “conservatives.” Some of us are libertarians. America has other choices besides the anti-capitalism of the Times and anti-capitalism of Trump.

—Saturday: The Times quotes left-wing New York Governor Andrew Cuomo saying it “defies common sense” to have a nuclear power plant near New York City. Green activists oppose the plant and Cuomo now says it will close.

But where will New Yorkers get power? The “options include hydropower from Quebec and power from wind farms.”

Great. But what will we do when the wind doesn’t blow? At least the reporter admits that “New York City could be burdened with higher energy prices.” Could be? Will be!

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Revitalizing small towns and rural Iowa I’m proud to represent small towns and rural Iowa. We’ve faced some big challenges in recent years though, with more than 70 counties losing population since 2010.

Rural Iowans need higher wages. Rural businesses need skilled workers and more customers.

With bipartisan support, we can help create jobs and economic prosperity across our state. We need the kinds of investments that make people proud to call smalltown Iowa home.

Here are a few ideas I’ll be working on this year to turn things around: • Making sure small rural communities (under 30,000) get their share of state resources for edu-

State View Sen. Chaz Allen cation, job training and economic development efforts that help them capitalize on their strengths and invest in themselves.

• Guaranteeing rural Iowa has access to quality health care and mental health care, including quick response times in emergencies.

• Improving water quality.

Iowa has more than 700 impaired waterways. Many communities struggle to provide safe drinking water to local residents. That’s

why I’ve supported additional funding for water quality efforts in recent years. This year, we’re ready to bolster monitoring and bring together stakeholders — industry, cities, landowners, septic tank owners — so that we can make real progress toward our long-term clean water goals.

• Encouraging more production and use of renewable energy, like solar, wind and biofuels. Between 2012 and 2015, Iowa’s solar energy tax credit led to more than 2,500 solar energy projects that created more than 700 jobs and investment of more than $130 million.

Photo of mom in body bag infuriates grieving daughter DEAR ABBY: I am a 58-yearold female. My mother passed away in my home almost exactly a year ago. I took care of her for the last three years of her life. After she died, my brother and his wife came to my home at 1:30 p.m. The funeral home didn’t arrive to pick her up until 8:30 that night.

Later that evening, after my mom was gone and my brother and his wife left, my daughter came to me and announced that my sisterin-law had secretly taken pictures of Mom in the body bag on the stretcher as she was being wheeled out of my home. She didn’t know that my daughter had seen her.

I am furious, horrified and hurt beyond description! My mother always liked to look nice and made a special effort to look good for a picture. The coroner had told me to go into another room when they were taking her because he said I wouldn’t want that as my last memory of her.

I have never said anything to my sister-in-law, but I can’t seem to let this go. It’s killing me. Am I overreacting? Please, I need your advice. — MISSING MOM DEAR MISSING MOM: I am truly sorry for your loss, but you may be overreacting. Not everyone grieves in the same way, and similarly, not everyone feels the same way about taking pictures of deceased loved ones. During Victorian times the practice was quite common.

I don’t know why your sisterin-law felt compelled to take the photos, but it could have been a gesture of love and respect. If you want to know why she did it, you should calmly ask her and let her explain.

DEAR ABBY: I have been see-

ing my boyfriend for about a year.

He’s three years younger than I am, which hasn’t been an issue for us. However, recently, because of work scheduling, I have been waiting at his house until he comes home and spending more time with his father.

I am extremely ashamed that I have developed feelings for his dad. His dad has a girlfriend. I am aware this is inappropriate, but I am not sure how to handle this. — ANONYMOUS IN ILLINOIS DEAR ANONYMOUS: The way to “handle it” is to accept that your boyfriend’s father has a girlfriend and is probably not looking for anything extracurricular. And further, if anything should develop, recognize that it would not only devastate your boyfriend, but would also probably destroy his relationship with his father.

DEAR READERS: In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., whose birthday we remember today: “To retaliate in kind would do nothing but intensify the existence of hate in the universe.

Along the way of life, someone must have sense enough, and morality enough, to cut off the chain of hate.”

4 Officer accused of road rage

1 Man arrested after bullet fires

acquitted of assault

through ceiling, hitting mom

WEST DES MOINES— A 21-year-old West Des Moines man has been arrested after a gun he was handling fired, sending a bullet through a basement ceiling that hit his sleeping mother. Paramedics were called to the home around 5 a.m.

Friday and found a 43-year-old woman shot in her upper body. She was taken to a hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening. Police say her son told officers he had been holding the handgun in the home’s basement when it fired.

WATERLOO — A Waterloo police officer charged in connection with what prosecutors called a road rage incident has been acquitted of misdemeanor assault.

A jury took less than four hours Friday to find 45-year-old Lt. Corbin Payne not guilty of roughing up a delivery driver last June while he was off-duty.

Authorities had said Payne accused the driver of dangerously weaving around a car driven by Payne’s wife and in which Payne was riding.

Plan to reduce number of parishes in Iowa diocese SIOUX CITY — A new plan by the Roman Catholic Church’s Sioux City Diocese will see its number of parishes cut nearly in half starting this year.

The plan, released Friday, will drop the number of parishes from 108 to 61 — nearly a 45 percent drop — in the diocese that serves 24 counties in northwest Iowa.

The diocese blames lagging church attendance and a shortage of priests.

The Rev. Kevin McCoy says the changes will not affect any of the diocese’s schools.

crimes again delayed

IOWA CITY — Trial for a man accused of having sex with multiple incapacitated women has again been delayed.

The trial for 25-year-old Nathan Schloss has now been set for Aug. 8. He had been set to go to trial on Jan. 24.

Schloss’ attorney said Thursday that he needs time to complete additional discovery and depose witnesses. Schloss is charged with 18 counts of sexual abuse.

Defunding Planned Parenthood could harm Iowa social program DES MOINES — Iowa’s governor has proposed cutting funding for needy kids as part of his plan to defund Planned Parenthood, a rare step even as Republican-dominated states grapple with whether to sacrifice federal dollars in order to lessen the organization’s influence.

According to budget projections reviewed by The Associated Press, Gov. Terry Branstad has recommended taking $2.8 million previously given to child and family services so it can be redirected to create a roughly $3.3 million program that distributes family planning money to organizations that do not perform abortions.

None of Iowa’s family planning money is used to fund abortions, and the state’s funding for Planned Parenthood goes to other women’s health services such as birth control counseling and health exams.

Iowa receives more than $3 million in federal Medicaid funding that it must spend on family planning services, and some of that is tied to Planned Parenthood.

Branstad, who is expected to resign soon from his Iowa job to become President-elect Donald Trump’s ambassador to China, told legislators in an address last week that he supports removing state funding for Planned Parenthood to redirect it to other groups. His office later confirmed to the AP that the governor backed the creation of a state-run program that would pass up millions of federal Medicaid dollars for family planning services.

Branstad’s office said it would pay for the state-run program by tapping into the Social Services Block Grant, a separate pot of federal money that provides aid to vulnerable children, adults and families.

Ben Hammes, a spokesman for Branstad, originally insisted that services provided by this roughly $15 million fund would not be affected. He backtracked after reviewing documents provided by AP. Amy McCoy, spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Human Services, said core services such as foster care wouldn’t be affected by

According to budget projections reviewed by The Associated Press, Branstad has recommended taking $2.8 million previously given to child and family services so it can be redirected to create a roughly $3.3 million program that distributes family planning money to organizations that do not perform abortions.

Branstad’s proposed cut, which would take effect for the budget year beginning in July.

But she confirmed the governor’s plan would mean less funding for preventative programs that reduce the chance of children entering welfare and the juvenile justice system.

In the end Branstad’s overall budget for child and family services for the next budget year — which will be about $127 million — will be $2 million less than

what’s estimated for this current budget.

The governor has also asked state agencies to cut about $110 million from the current $7.2 billion to plug a shortfall of available cash.

Rachel Lopez, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, the Iowa affiliate of the national organization, criticized Republicans — including Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, who will succeed him.

“As parents and pub-

lic servants entrusted to care for the health and well-being of all Iowans, it’s appalling that they will sacrifice the most defenseless Iowans on the taxpayers’ dime — all for the sake of politics,” she said in a statement.

Lynette Jacoby, who leads social services in Johnson County — one of the state’s largest counties — called the potential loss of preventative funding a blow for at-risk kids in Iowa but also a “setback for

many of these families that are benefiting from these programs.”

At a speech earlier this month, Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady noted such services help children turn their lives around and save the state millions of dollars in the process because it avoids court costs.

A handful of states have considered dropping Medicaid money altogether to try to defund Planned Parenthood, a move that leaves statehouses on the hook for finding new money to pay for family planning services that used to be covered. Texas stopped receiving Medicaid money for family planning services several years ago, while Missouri considered it last year.

Democrats have held at least partial control of Iowa government for nearly 20 years, keeping previous defunding attempts at bay. But after the November election, Republicans now control both chambers of the Legislature and the governor’s office.

Several abortion restriction bills are expected this year.

Ivanka Trump to continue working on women’s issues

AP Photo University of Dubuque student Jackson Cruciani speaks with fourth-graders Ethan Ward, left, and Matthew Gilles at Fulton Elementary School in Dubuque. Dubuque students were at Fulton to promote anti-bullying efforts as part of their J-Term course.

Students promote anti-bullying at elementary school DUBUQUE (AP) — Daniele Halfhill’s classroom at Fulton Elementary School in Dubuque was buzzing with activity Tuesday morning as children gathered around college students.

Fourth- and fifth-grade students participated in the second week of University of Dubuque’s “Culture of Bullying: Waiting on the World to Change” class.

The three-week course is aimed at educating university students on bullying while incorporating weekly, hands-on, anti-bullying efforts at the Dubuque elementary school.

As part of the January-term course, UD students handed out Starburst candy while a sign projected on the whiteboard read, “Label jars, not people.”

“A lot of my students are learning a lot more about who they are as a person and what makes them unique and how that thing that makes them unique isn’t something that others can make fun of,” said Halfhill, one of two fourth-grade teachers at Fulton.

“It’s something that makes you, you.

“They’re also learning that everybody has something different and unique about them, and that nobody can change that,” she added. “Nobody can put you down because of that. It’s kind of giving them some empowerment.”

The UD students are learning

about the different types of bullying, as well as how to combat them in everyday situations.

The college students then take what they learn in the classroom to Fulton for “contact days.” They spend an hour with each fifthgrade class before moving to the fourth-grade classes to repeat their lessons.

“We’re trying to bridge the gap,” said Amy Baus, director of vocation, civic engagement and life services and assistant professor of psychology at UD. “... In bridging that gap, we are trying to raise awareness not only with empathy, but self-respect, self-understanding and self-awareness.”

She said the experience is “quite meaningful not only for (the) fourth- and fifth-graders, but also the college students just trying to understand the concept.”

Baus, who has taught the course since it was introduced six years ago, said Tuesday’s theme was “Take a stand, lend a hand: Stop bullying.” Activities included teaching elementary school students an anti-bullying pledge, as well as creating art projects to display various bullying scenarios.

“We’re also looking at the bullying scene for students to really share and expose in art what have they witnessed or what have they maybe been part of in regards to the bullying effect, either as the victim or the perpetrator,” Baus

said.

UD sophomore Kaetlyn Little took the course to supplement her psychology major, as well as prepare for any future bullying experiences she might experience.

“Through the hands-on (activities), I’ve learned that every student is different and experiences bullying in different ways,” she said. “I’ll be way more experienced and I’m going to be able to not just help in my field, but help anywhere. . For me, it’s about learning how to protect (these students) better, and for my future children, how to stop it before it starts.”

Camryn Thompson, 10, said she enjoyed more than just the art projects and candy handouts during the session.

“It was a pretty good day,” Camryn said. “I liked learning about the kinds of bullying. . I’m excited for next week when (they) come back.”

Halfhill said the time the UD students have spent with her class of 27 has been invaluable.

“Right now, they’re at a pivotal age. They’re making that transition from being an elementary student to moving towards being an early teen, a preteen,” she said.

“They need to get that foundation and practice that over and over, so they honestly believe they are an important person in the community.”

DES MOINES (AP) — She may not be working in the White House, but that doesn’t mean Ivanka Trump is staying out of politics.

Although she has said she will have no official role in her father’s administration, Ivanka Trump has been quietly laying the groundwork for an effort that could make her perhaps the best-connected policy advocate in Washington. Trump, who has made clear she wants to push for policies benefiting women and girls, last week sought the advice of a group of female executives and media stars in New York City.

And transition aides have reached Ivanka Trump out to congressional staff on childcare policies, an area she has urged President-elect Donald Trump to prioritize.

In a Facebook post detailing her next moves, Ivanka Trump thanked people who had reached out on such issues and added that she is determining the “most impactful and appropriate ways for me to serve our country.”

It is not clear if Trump will establish herself independently or if she will eventually enter the White House. But operating from the outside may take her into uncharted territory, as there are few recent examples of a first family member without a White House office advocating for policies. The closest model is the first lady, who has an office in the East Wing.

For now, the businesswoman has said only that she is stepping away from executive roles at the Trump Organization and her lifestyle brand and is moving her family to Washington so that her husband Jared Kushner can take a job as a senior adviser. She has also stressed that she wants to focus on settling her three young children in a new home.

But Ivanka Trump is also thinking beyond that.

On Thursday, she attended a dinner with female executives at the home of her friend Wendi Deng, ex-wife of media executive Rubert Murdoch. The dinner was put together by Dina Powell, a Goldman Sachs partner who is joining the Trump administration as an assistant to the president and senior counselor for economic initiatives. Powell has been advising Ivanka Trump and is expected to continue working closely with her.

Other guests included MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, model Christy Turlington Burns, former White House press secretary Dana Perino, Xerox Chairperson Ursula Burns, Deloitte CEO Cathy Engelbert, Glamour Editor-in-Chief Cynthia Leive and Time Managing Editor Nancy Gibbs. Another attendee, Pattie Sellers, executive director of Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summits, wrote on Fortune.com that Ivanka Trump “explained that she wanted to learn from the efforts of leaders in their fields.”

Also there was Sheila Marcelo, founder of www. care.com, a website that connects families with caregivers, said an attendee who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was a private dinner.

Marcelo spoke about the high cost of caregiving — both for children and adult family members.

Railroad pros pay tribute to late friendly farm couple WHITING (AP) — Driving on Monona County Road K-45 between Whiting and Sloan, you see a sign gracing an old barn, just off the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The yellow banner says, “Thank You Union Pacific!!!”

It comes from the family of the late Vernon and Lenora Gloyer, thanking railroad crew members for the care they took to wave at Vernon and Lenora through the years.

The track runs along the old Gloyer farm, not far from their home immediately west of K-45.

The couple didn’t see the train as a nuisance. They welcomed these roaring “iron horses” at all hours of day and night.

Vernon Gloyer died of cancer 12 years ago.

Late in his life, according to his daughter, Vernice Gloyer Ankerstjerne of nearby Onawa, Iowa, Vernon sat outside in a lawn chair and counted the number of cars on each train. He loved waving at the engineer and at anyone who might occupy the caboose.

Lenora kept Vernon’s waving tradition alive after his death.

AP Photo This photo shows a barn on the property of Vernice Gloyer Ankerstjerne, of Onawa, daughter of the late Vernon and Lenora Gloyer. She placed this banner on a barn serving her parents’ old farmstead north of Whiting. The Gloyers were big fans of the Union Pacific Railroad, which ran immediately east of their farm.

Ankerstjerne said her mother would wave a handkerchief from the kitchen window as the train passed. In summer months, the wail of the engine’s whistle would prompt Lenora to dash outside for a friendly salute as the UP zoomed by.

A Union Pacific train stopped at the farm a few years ago, reportedly to allow another train on the Sloan line to advance. The engineer

walked to the Gloyer house and left Lenora a hat. Another train crew stopped to salute her on her 84th birthday.

Then, there was a time when a train experienced mechanical issues in front of their home. Lenora offered her assistance by driving the engineer one mile, so he could address connection issues at the back of the train.

According to her daughter, Lenora was honored

to “pay it forward” in this manner.

Lenora was 85 when she died on Nov. 28, 2015.

Months after her mother’s death, Ankerstjerne learned of a Union Pacific effort to make and erect a sign for “Granny Gloyer’s Crossing” at the farm.

On a Saturday in early November, crew members and Gloyer family members and friends numbering more than

70 turned out for a sign dedication. The sign features a decades-old photo of Vernon and Lenora holding hands.

“The conductors said my mom made their trips a little more interesting and fun as they looked forward to seeing her,” Ankerstjerne said. “It might be 3 a.m., but they’d notice how she’d turn on the lights and wave from the kitchen window. I didn’t realize how much these

guys loved her until she died and I received the cards and letters. The crews then put their money together to get this sign built.”

While an impediment to the speed and immediacy our “microwave culture” seeks, train traffic is also a sign of a healthy economy, moving commodities and products, goods sold and purchased across the continent.

Each train, you might say, has its own multiplier effect, doing what it can to put bread on the table.

Vernon and Lenora Gloyer understood this much. They also came to know there were conductors, engineers and other railroad workers doing what they could to keep the trains running safely and on time. The decency of two friendly faces in the countryside did not go unnoticed.

The fact her parents had a positive impact on the Union Pacific prompted Vernice Gloyer Ankerstjerne to return the gesture, thanking the Union Pacific pros for what they did over the course of a half-century at “Granny Gloyer’s Crossing.”

All rooms will have a contemporary design with wall and floor tiling, LED lighting and vibrant paint colors.

The state of Iowa awarded $500,000 in grant funding to seven rural Iowa YMCAs to support facility main-

tenance and renovation projects through the Rural YMCA Facility Improvement Grant Program. The program seeks to strengthen rural Iowa communities by investing in facility infrastructure projects

to sustain youth development, healthy living and social responsibility initiatives at YMCAs located in communities with populations of 28,000 or less.

“The funding from the State of Iowa is yet

another blessing received by our YMCA”, said CEO Frank Buckley. “These renovated family locker rooms will allow families and those in need of handicap accessibility the opportunity to utilize our facility to its fullest potential.

Having all the amenities within a single room hopefully now encourages everyone within the community to take advantage of our programs and services.”

Funding for the pro-

gram is made possible through an appropriation by the Iowa Legislature from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund. The fund was established in Iowa Code in 1994 and is the primary funding source for State of Iowa financed public infrastructure-related expenditures. The Rural Iowa YMCA Facility Improvement Grant Program is administered by the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs.

2A top-ranked Eagles edge Cardinals Gholson sets new career scoring mark

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Newton High senior Connor Gholson became the Cardinal boys’ alltime leading scorer on a night he admitted he’d trade that honor for a team victory. His 3-pointer at the buzzer was off in Friday’s Little Hawkeye Conference contest at 2A No. 1 Pella Christian, leaving the Cardinals on the short-end of a 65-63 decision.

Newton trailed by two and had the ball with 10 seconds remaining in a game, which had the teams trading scoring runs and leads from the start. Cardinal head coach Bill Liley drew up what he wanted his players to do with the basketball.

“I’d go for the win again.

Connor was hitting his shots. I honestly thought his shot was in at the end,” Liley said. “Our guys played well from the start to finish. Our offensive execution was championship level. We had some defensive breakdowns, and that was the difference in the game.”

Gholson needed nine points to tie the NHS career-scoring record of 1,076 held by Tyler Wood, 20122015. On a 3-pointer late in

the second quarter, Gholson took the top spot on the NHS list as he had 11 points in the first half.

“It’s a pretty cool honor to have. There was a little bit of pressure on me, but I always keep team first and focus on winning games,” Gholson said after scoring 23 points Friday to push his total to 1,090 points.

Gholson played two years with Wood for the Cardinals and watched Wood take over the top NHS all-time scoring mark as a senior.

“Being teammates with him was great because of the type of player he was. It was always nice to have that motivation, and he always pushed me in practices. So, to go past him is pretty cool,” Gholson said. “I’d trade it for win any day.”

Trey Vanderlaan and Josh Ventling buried two 3-pointers early in the first quarter to help the Cardinals take a 10-4 lead over Pella Christian.

Grayson Graham’s free throw with 1:21 left in the period handed Newton an 18-9 lead at the close of the period.

Newton pushed out to a 27-13 lead midway through the second period. Graham and Gholson each downed treys as the Cardinals led the Eagles, 33-18. Pella Christian ended the half on a 9-0 run to close the gap to 33-27 by the break.

The Eagles tied the game up 33-33 then Newton drained

three consecutive 3-pointers — one from Vanderlaan and two from Morgan Maher. Garrett Sturtz had a putback for a 48-43 Newton lead which was followed by backto-back baskets from Pella Christian’s Scott Haveman and Levi Jungling.

Newton was up 48-47 heading into the fourth quarter. Gholson opened the final eight minutes with a 3-pointer and Graham hit a free throw. The Eagles forged a 5454 tie with a little more than three minutes remaining in the game.

Gholson broke the tie with a trey, but the Eagles tossed in four unanswered points to lead by one, 58-57. Maher’s basket had Newton back in front then he fouled out of the game sending David Kacmarynski to the line.

With 1:48 on the clock, Newton trailed 60-59 and Gholson scored. A 3-pointer

by Jungling put Pella Christian in front 63-61. A basket

by Gholson with 30 seconds left tied the game, but a follow shot by Kacmarynski handed the Eagles the lead, 65-63.

Newton shot 57 percent, 25-of-44, from the field while Pella Christian went 26-of42 from the field for 63 percent. The Cardinals hit 11 3-pointers — four by Vanderlaan, who increased his Class 4A-leading 3-point field goal BOYS | 3B

Fourth-quarter stall thwarts NHS boys bowl over Jays, girls lose in close dual Newton girls’ upset bid

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

PELLA — Newton High’s girls are playing some of their best basketball of the season.

On Friday, they played their third ranked opponent in five games since the semester break. They just haven’t been able to break through with a victory in those three contests.

The Cardinal girls had Class 2A eighth-ranked Pella Christian down by 10 points, 45-35, with seven minutes to play in Friday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game. A 3-pointer by junior Randi Walters opened the fourth quarter for Newton.

Newton didn’t score again.

Pella Christian went on a 17-0 run to finish the game, winning 52-45.

“We competed well. We didn’t handle their pressure in the fourth quarter,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said.

Consistency has come to the Newton High boys’ varsity bowling team. The Cardinal boys built a 600pin advantage over visiting Bondurant-Farrar by the end of the individual games Saturday on their home alleys at Cardinal Lanes.

Newton’s boys powered past the Blue Jays, 2,672-1,795 for their third dual win in a row. Bondurant-Farrar’s girls defeated the Cardinal girls, 2,0541,961, on Saturday.

“The varsity boys’ team was really pumped up after its dominating win over Bondurant-Farrar, winning by 877 pins,” Newton head coach Seth Banwell said.

“The boys have remained consistent from week to week and almost bowled

Big finish pushes C-M girls past Keota

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Payton Rhone has been given the green light to shoot the ball from outside whenever she is open by Colfax-Mingo coach Larry Roberts.

Make it or miss it, Roberts wants his best shooter to let it fly whenever she can.

The Tigerhawk sophomore did just that Friday night during a South Iowa Cedar League home game against Keota.

Rhone buried three 3-pointers in the first half to keep Colfax-Mingo close, and then three more 3-pointers in the fourth quarter led the Tigerhawks to a dominant final eight minutes in a 52-40 victory.

“I think once I hit that first one, I could just hit the rest of them,” Rhone said.

“Once I got that confidence,

the ball just kept going in.”

Playing in a tight game for the first three quarters, the Tigerhawks needed all of Rhone’s shots to go in, and most of them did.

The 18 points she scored was a career-high, and the Tigerhawks ended a five-game losing streak.

“At some point, I would like us to put a full game together and see what we can do,” C-M coach Larry Roberts said. “Keota has had a rough year but they aren’t quitting. I won’t complain too much because we won. We have to realize where we are at. There are things that we do still need to work on though.”

The first three quarters were a back-and-forth affair. There were 11 lead changes in the game and those all occurred before Colfax-Mingo dominated the fourth quarter.

Led by Addison Sprouse, Keota led 11-8 after the first frame.

Sprouse scored a game-high 19 poiints and six of those came in the opening stanza.

“Anyone that plays us is thinking that’s a chance to get a win, so the girls have to be ready to play every night,” Roberts said. “Keota played hard, and we were a step slow at the beginning of the game.”

Rhone’s first trey gave the Tigerhawks a 15-14 advantage. The Eagles answered with a triple to take back the lead, but Rhone responded with another 3-pointer.

Keota got a jumper from Erin Chalupa to go back in front 19-18.

Rhone’s final 3-pointer of the first half pushed the Tigerhawks back ahead 21-19, but Sprouse gave Keota (0-14 overall, 0-10 in SICL play) a 22-21 lead at halftime after burying a 3-pointer of her own.

Boys Continued from Page 1B Vanderlaan scored 12 points and Sturtz had 10 points for Newton. Sturtz dished out five assists and Graham had two steals.

Gholson and Vanderlaan each had three rebounds.

Jungling finished with 21 points for Pella Christian and had three of his team’s five 3-pointers. Kacmarynski added 16 points and Alex Pringle had 12.

“This is a tough conference to play in. I learned this first time through the conference this season that we are very good basketball team and very competitive,” Liley said. “Yes, we could be sitting at 6-1 instead of 3-4 in the conference. We just have to shore up a couple of things for the second round at these teams.”

Randy Taylor/Taylor Photography Lynnville-Sully junior Cayden Johnson works for a pin of an opponent in a home match earlier last week. On Saturday, Johnson won three times on the mat in the Wayne Duals at Corydon. Lynnville-Sully went 1-2 as a team.

Van Der Krol pinned Wayne’s Spencer Budan in 3:29 and won by a forfeit against Van Buren. DeHoedt’s wins were by forfeit against Van Buren an Bedford/Lenox.

Ty Breeden was 1-2 with a forfeit win against Van Buren.

Caden Dunsbergen lost three matches by falls.

Lynnville-Sully joins Centerville and English Valleys in a quadrangular at 6 p.m.

Newton (7-4) is idle Tuesday. It hosts Indianola on Friday to began the second round of Little Hawkeye Conference play.

“Tonight’s game and the Pella game, we executed at a high level on offense. I liked our execution, but we need to focus on defense.

That’s where the game is for us,” Gholson said as the team moves into the second time through the conference.

Girls Continued from Page 1B “We had four straight possessions of forced turnovers.

We just needed to execute better in the last five minutes,” Sharp said.

Newton is averaging 46 points a game in its last five games. The Cardinals have lost to Class 4A No. 4 Grinnell and No. 1 Pella in LHC action in that stretch. They have gone 2-3 and face 4A’s 12th-ranked Boone at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at home non-conference game.

“We’ll get better and won’t let one slip away like this again.

This loss is on me,” Sharp said.

“I’m very proud of how we competed against another quality team. We are getting better each time out. I’m glad we get a chance at everyone again.”

Until the fourth quarter, the Cardinals had the Eagles scrambling for traction. Newton pushed out to a 10-3 lead in the first quarter, but it was 1010 at the end of the period.

The Cardinals trailed 17-13 then went on an 8-0 run on a basket by Ryanne Rausch and back-to-back 3-pointers by Courtney Jacobsen. Rausch, who finished with a game-high 17 points, had a bucket to put the Cardinals up 23-22 and Ellie Horn’s two free throws gave Newton a 25-22 halftime lead.

The teams were tied at 27-all with 5:48 left in the third quarter when Newton reeled off 10 unanswered points. The Eagles closed to within four, 39-35, but a trey by Jacobsen had the Cardinals up 42-35 heading into the fourth quarter.

NFL down to four teams The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — This time it was a catch, and another win for the Green Bay Packers.

Call it a “Half Mary” from Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers threw a 36-yard pass to a toe-dragging Jared Cook on the sideline, and Mason Crosby kicked a 51-yard field goal as time expired, sending the Packers to the NFC championship game with their eighth straight win while thwarting a huge Dallas rally in a 34-31 victory in the divisional round of the playoffs Sunday.

The throw on the run from Rodgers to Cook — confirmed on review — wasn’t nearly as debatable as Dez Bryant’s famous catch that wasn’t in the Cowboys’ divisional round loss to Green Bay two years ago.

Cook kept both feet inbounds with a knee just above the ground out of bounds.

And it came after the Cowboys tied the game twice in the final 5 minutes behind rookie sensations Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott in their playoff debut.

It was the third field goal of more than 50 yards in the final 1:38 — two from Crosby and one from Dallas’ Dan Bailey. And Crosby had to make the winner twice after Dallas coach Jason Garrett called timeout before the first attempt.

Rodgers, who sparked last week’s wild-card win over the New York Giants with another Hail Mary before halftime, is headed to an MVP showdown with Atlanta’s Matt Ryan next Sunday. It will be his third NFC title game — all on the road.

Green Bay’s win was the first by a road team after 12 straight home victories in the playoffs dating to last season.

The Cowboys (13-4) almost became the third team in the Super Bowl era to win in the playoffs after trailing by 15 points in the fourth quarter. The first was Dallas in 1972, when “Captain Comeback”, Roger Staubach, rallied the Cowboys for a 30-28 win over San Francisco.

Instead, Dallas ended up with its fifth straight loss in the divisional round and a 21-year drought in trips to the NFC championship game.

Steelers 18, Chiefs 16 KANSAS CITY, MO — The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to get a rematch with the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. The Steelers got past the Kansas City Chiefs 1816 on Sunday night in the final divisional-round game.

Chris Boswell set an NFL record with six field goals, Le’Veon Bell broke his own franchise playoff record by running for 170 yards as the Steelers (13-5) advanced to the AFC title game for the first time since the 2010 season.

The Steelers have won nine straight games.

Alex Smith threw for 172 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Spencer Ware ran for a 1-yard score with 2:43 remaining to get the Chiefs within two points. They converted a two-point conversion but it was called by due to a holding penalty on left tackle Eric Fisher. The ensuing pass fell incomplete and Pittsburgh ran out the clock.

The Chiefs went up 7-3 on a six-play march capped by receiver Albert Wilson lining up in the backfield, then slipping uncovered into the end zone for a 5-yard scoring pass.

Kansas City (12-5) remains winless at home in the playoffs since the 1993 postseason.

Patriots 34, Texans 16

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots are headed back to a familiar spot: the AFC championship game.

Dion Lewis had a 13-yard touchdown reception, a 98-yard kickoff return for a score, and a late 1-yard touchdown to help the Patriots hold off the Houston Texans 34-16 on Saturday night and advance to an NFL-record sixth straight conference title game.

New England will host the winner of Sunday night’s Pittsburgh-Kansas City matchup next Sunday for the right to play in the Super Bowl in Houston on Feb. 5.

Lewis became the fifth Patriots player to score three touchdowns in a playoff game. He’s also the first player in the Super Bowl era to score on a rush, a catch and a kick return in a postseason game.

Bill Belichick’s Patriots (152) survived a gritty effort by the Texans’ top-ranked defense, which intercepted Brady twice.

Houston’s special teams also forced a third turnover.

But the Texans (10-8) couldn’t find enough traction on offense to take full advantage of the Patriots’ mistakes, settling for field goals on both of Brady’s picks.

Falcons 36, Seahawks 20 ATLANTA — Matt Ryan hardly resembled a quarterback who can’t win the big games.

No, this looked more like an MVP. Returning to the postseason for the first time in four years, Ryan threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Atlanta Falcons past the Seattle Seahawks 36-20 in the divisional round Saturday.

The Falcons (12-5) are headed to the NFC championship game for only the fourth time in their 51year history, and they’re on quite a roll with Matty Ice at the helm.

Northwestern decks Iowa EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — ​ Northwestern has found much of its success this season behind strong guard play and stout defense.

Both of those elements were at their absolute peak on Sunday, as Scottie Lindsey scored 22, Bryant McIntosh had 20 and the Cook Wildcats dominated both ends of the court in a convincing 8954 win over Iowa.

“You close your eyes and you envision a night like tonight,” Northwestern coach Chris Collins said.

“That’s what I dreamed of. It was as loud as it’s been in (Welsh-Ryan Arena) since I’ve been here.”

Lindsey had a career-high eight rebounds while McIntosh, who was honored before the game for scoring his 1000th ca-

reer point on Jan. 5 against Minnesota, shot an efficient 9 for 11 from the field and added 10 assists for his first double-double this season.

“They were both really good,” Collins said. “Quietly, they like to view themselves as an elite backcourt. I thought they were both tremendous tonight.”

The Wildcats defense also impressed. Facing a Hawkeyes team that ranked near the top of the Big Ten at 83.0 points per game, the Wildcats limited Iowa (11-8, 3-3 Big Ten) to 35.3 percent from the field, 23.5 percent from behind the arc and the team’s lowest scoring total in 14 games.

Northwestern (15-4, 4-2) is second in the Big Ten with 63.9 points allowed per game.

Peter Jok felt the brunt of that defensive effort. Entering Sunday with a Big Ten-best 22.9 points per game, Jok had just four points against the Wildcats, snapping a streak of 22 games where he

scored in double figures.

“Personally, I didn’t have any energy tonight and I think they fed off that,” Jok said. “I’ve just got to toughen up and be a better leader. I didn’t think I was a very good leader tonight.”

Northwestern opened the contest with a quick 8-0 advantage and seldom wavered from there. Iowa nearly closed the gap in the first half, cutting the deficit to three, but the Wildcats quickly answered with a 14-1 run.

Tyler Cook and Ryan Kriener each had 14 points to lead Iowa.

It marks the Hawkeyes second defeat this season of 30 or more, as Iowa lost 74-41 on Nov. 25 to then-No. 6 Virginia.

Northwestern out-rebounded Iowa 39 to 24 “They were focused and locked down,” Cook said. “We let them do what they wanted to do and that’s why tonight went their way.”

Iowa hosts Maryland on Thursday.

TCU tops Iowa State men FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Kenrich Williams and Desmond Bane delighted a strongly purple crowd with punctuating dunks in a victory that gave TCU a winning record in the Big 12 for the first time.

The Horned Frogs are making some tough conference op- Mitrou-Long ponents notice in their first season under coach Jamie Dixon, who was on the last TCU team to win an NCAA Tournament game 30 years ago.

Vladimir Brodziansky had 25 points and 14 rebounds, Brandon Parrish scored 15 points and the Frogs ended an eight-game losing streak against Iowa State during their first four seasons in the Big 12 with an 84-77 victory over the Cyclones on Saturday.

“I guess we’re on the map because we’re above .500 now,” said Williams, who had his sixth double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

“But I feel like we’re still sort of the underdog. That’ll change soon. I’m cool with the underdog tag.”

Brodziansky, who was 11-of14 from the field and had three blocks, hit his first 3-pointer of the season and made a pair of free throws after a flagrant foul against Darrell Bowie during a 9-2 run that built a 75-65 lead.

The Horned Frogs (14-3, 3-2 Big 12) surpassed last season’s Big 12 win total after topping last year’s overall victory count with a win at Texas earlier in the week.

Nazareth Mitrou-Long scored 19 points for the Cyclones (11-5, 3-2), who play Kansas, the likely the new No. 1, at home Monday night.

Preseason All-America guard Monte Morris was held to nine

mostly meaningless points on 4-of-14 shooting after getting a career-high 30 in Iowa State’s previous game. Fellow guard Deonte Burton was 1 of 10 from the field and scored five points.

“They’re not going to have nights like this every night,” Mitrou-Long said. “We’re going to wake up Monday and count on those guys like we’ve been the whole year.”

Freshman guard Jaylen Fisher had nine points and a season-high 11 assists as the Horned Frogs won consecutive Big 12 games for just the second time.

Iowa State’s Donovan Jackson, a first-year junior college transfer, had his season high at halftime with 16 points before getting shut out in the second half. He went without a 3-point attempt after going 4-of-5 from long range in the first half.

It was TCU’s first win over Iowa State since Dec. 24, 1997, in the Puerto Rico Holiday Classic.

No. 3 Maryland women beat Iowa IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — In a flash, thirdranked Maryland found itself trailing on the road to an average Iowa team.

The Terrapins steadied themselves at halftime and blew past the Hawkeyes over the final 20 minutes.

Brionna Jones had 25 points and 10 rebounds to help Maryland beat Iowa 98-82 on Saturday.

Shatori Walker-Kimbrough came off the bench and scored 20 of her 22 points in the second half for the league-leading Terrapins (17-1, 5-0 Big Ten).

They outscored Iowa 5535 in the second half.

“I thought we regrouped at halftime (and) really buckled down defensively,” Maryland coach Brenda Frese said.

“We played much better defense in the second half.”

Maryland struggled in the first half after Jones picked up two quick fouls, falling behind by four at the break after a quick 20-3 Hawkeyes run.

The Terrapins finally got untracked with a 13-0 run in the third quarter, and Walker-Kimbrough’s 3 near the end of the third quarter made it 69-59.

Walker-Kimbrough’s 3 early in the fourth put Maryland up by 20 to cap a 39-15 spurt — fueled by pressure defense — that gave the Terrapins their expected result.

“We fought back,” Wa l k e r - K i m b r o u g h said. “We had to match their intensity.”

Tania Davis scored a career-high 25 points for Iowa (11-7, 2-3), which rallied from an early 15-2 hole but couldn’t sustain that momentum.

“We got down big, and I’m proud of the way our team battled back,” Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. “Tania did a great job of getting the fire going.”

UNI ends losing skid, cruise past Drake CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Bennett Koch and Jeremy Morgan had 21 points apiece, Jordan Ashton scored 13 of his career-high 17 points in the first half and Northern Iowa snapped a seven-game skid with a 7960 win over Drake on Sunday.

Koch made 8 of 8 from the field and Morgan hit 7-of-12 — including 3-of-6 from 3-point range. Ashton made all five of his firsthalf shots, including three 3-pointers.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by De’Antae McMurray gave Drake a 7-4 lead but the Bull-

dogs went scoreless over the next six-plus minutes as Northern Iowa (6-11, 1-5 Missouri Valley) scored 18-straight points to start a 33-6 run that made it 37-13 with five minutes left in the half. The Panthers led by double figures the rest of the way.

Reed Timmer had 18 points, Ore Arongundade scored 16 and McMurray 13 for Drake (513, 3-3).

Northern Iowa shot a season-high 57 percent (29-of-51) from the field.

The Bulldogs hits just 21-of-55 shots (38 percent).

Royals, Hosmer agree to $12.25 million deal to avoid arbitration KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals have known all along that they would have Eric Ho s m e r a n c h oring their l i n e up next season.

All that was left Hosmer to dete r m i n e was exactly how much they would be paying him.

Beyond next year is anybody’s guess.

The Royals and the All-Star first baseman agreed on a $12.25 million contract on Friday, avoiding arbitration with a deal that could take the 27-year-old Hosmer to free agency after the season.

The 27-year-old Hosmer made $8.3 million last season in the second year of a $13.9 million, two-year contract that he signed to avoid arbitration in 2015. He has won three Gold Gloves and flashed more power at the plate last season, hitting .266 with a career

high 25 homers and 104 RBIs. Of course, that history of performance has only driven up his market value.

General manager Dayton Moore has long been optimistic the Royals will be able to sign their homegrown star to a long-term deal. But the problem is Kansas City also has several other mainstays who are eligible for free agency this fall, and the small-market club likely cannot keep all of them The list includes breakout left-hander Danny Duffy, shortstop Alcides Escobar, third baseman Mike Moustakas, center fielder Lorenzo Cain and veteran left-hander Jason Vargas.

Duffy is still eligible for arbitration this offseason. So is closer Kelvin Herrera.

Duffy has asked for $8 million in arbitration while the Royals have offered $7.25 million.

Herrera has asked for $5.6 million and been offered $5,050,000 after making $2.6 million last season.

business goes unfinished; debts go unpaid. As it is in any good cliffhanger, the unresolved bits will lead you into the next adventure.

Tigerhawk boys can’t keep Keota in check

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo boys’ basketball team has proven it can beat most of the teams in the South Iowa Cedar League the past two seasons.

To take that next step as a program, the Tigerhawks are going to have to knock off teams like Lynnville-Sully, Montezuma, Keota and Belle Plaine.

Friday night, in front of a big home crowd, the Tigerhawks had the chance to do that against one of those schools. For one quarter, C-M was in control. Then, Keota took advantage of a few mental breakdowns by the Tigerhawks and cruised to an 84-60 victory during South Iowa Cedar League action.

“To be one of the best in this league, we have to be ‘TWG’ all the time,” Colfax-Mingo coach Nick Noring said.

“Toughness wins games. Tonight, we mentally had a breakdown. We got off rhythm on our scouting report and we got off rhythm on offense. We have to be more disciplined. We are at the top of the wall.

We just have to break through it.”

Colfax-Mingo junior Jarod Nichols recorded his fifth straight double-double with 21 points, 10 rebounds and three assists, but Keota had four players in double-figures led by Jacob Wickenkamp’s 25 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists.

The Tigerhawks rallied from an early five-point hole to lead by one after the first quarter. Nichols scored on back-to-back possessions, junior Alex Lewis nailed a 3-pointer and freshman Brady Berkey hit a runner in the lane to close the quarter and put the home team up 17-16.

Colfax-Mingo allowed Keota senior Cole Stout to get loose on the outside to many times in the game. Stout is a spotup shooter who rarely puts the ball on the floor. He buried seven 3-pointers in the win and finished with 23 points. Two of those shots from long range came in the second quarter, and the buckets helped the Eagles (11-3 overall, 9-2 in the SICL) start to pull away.

The Tigerhawks stayed within striking distance in the first half, but they trailed by seven at the break. They also missed seven free throws in the first two quarters and were 14-of-26 in the game.

“It’s weird. We have to run if we miss free throws. We shoot them well in practice, but it doesn’t show in the game,” Noring said.

While Stout’s 3-pointer gave the Eagles momentum, Noring said it was his team’s breakdowns on offense that helped Keota take control of the game.

“We had the game in control, but then we speed up our shots and stopped running the offense,” Noring said. “Keota doesn’t like to play defense for long possessions, but we took quick shots too many times.”

The Eagles opened the third quarter on an 11-3 run and went up double-digits on

Continued from Page 2B three rebounds, dished out five assists and collected three steals.

Senior Kathleen Baldwin scored six points, while senior Mikayla Eslinger put in four points and tallied a team-high seven rebounds.

The Raiders (7-6 overall, 5-3 in the HOIC) won the game despite shooting 18of-57 from the floor and 15-of-23 from the free-throw line. Bane connected on 10-of-11 from the foul line.

Greene County dropped to 3-9 overall and 2-6 in the HOIC.

​Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Jarod Nichols scores two of his team-high 21 points during a loss to Keota on Friday in Colfax. Nichols produced his fifth straight double-double, also grabbing 10 rebounds.

back-to-back 3-pointers by Hunter Wilson and Stout. Keota hit 12 3-pointers in the game.

Wickenkamp did most of his scoring damage in the second half. He connected on three 3-pointers later in the third, and Keota led by 15 heading into the fourth.

Stout began the fourth with back-toback treys, and Colfax-Mingo couldn’t get closer than 16 the rest of the way. The Tigerhawks were outscored 68-43 in the final three quarters after leading by one after the first eight minutes.

“Most of the shots from outside we had them in check with the hand,” Noring said. “But (Stout) doesn’t put the ball on the floor and we still lost him sometimes.”

The loss snapped a four-game win streak by Colfax-Mingo, which fell to 6-5 overall and 6-4 in SICL play.

“Getting the opportunities to play these games, we have to step up and get the job done,” Noring said. “We had a beautiful crowd tonight, and the community support was great. Now we need to get these fans some wins.”

Colfax-Mingo junior Reegan Van Dyke scored seven points and grabbed 11 re-

bounds, Lewis scored eight points and Berkey added seven points. Junior Jonathan Jacobs scored six points and dished out six assists Wickenkamp drilled four 3-pointers and scored a game-high 25 points in the win.

Avery Conrad chipped in 18 points, most of which came a few feet from the basket, and Wilson also reached double-figures with 12.

The Eagles were 27-of-54 from the floor and made 18-of-23 from the freethrow line.

The Raiders outscored the Rams 41-36 in the second and third quarters but couldn’t overcome the deficits in the first and last periods.

Freshman Cole Damman had 12 points, while senior Hunter McWhirter, junior Travis Lindemoen and sophomore Ian Thomson all put in 11 points in the loss. Junior Braydon Aker had eight points, four rebounds and three assists.

The Raiders did not have the services of leading scorer Will Clapper, who was out of town on vacation last week.

The Raiders (2-9, 1-6) lost their fourth straight game. Greene County improved to 6-4 overall and 5-3 in conference play.

and got after it,” Roberts said. “(Wilson) showed a little emotion tonight, which is good. I want to see her rip the ball through a few times. She took it to the basket tonight, too. That’s what we want. She can do that. We need her to do that.”

The Tigerhawks hit 11-of-19 from the free-throw line in the game, but they made five of those in the fourth to help preserve the lead.

Rhone was a starter at the beginning of the night. Her big performance Friday came with her coming off the bench, but that is where the sophomore feels most comfortable.

“Not starting was totally my choice,” Rhone said. “I get to watch the game a little bit, and it’s nerve wracking for me to start. I don’t play my best when I start, so I asked to come off the bench so I can play better.”

Russell scored seven points, grabbed six rebounds and collected three steals, while Hostetter scored four points and pulled down seven rebounds.

Junior McKeely Tjaden added seven points, and sophomore Mackensie Brown contributed three steals.

Continued from Page 1B “They packed it in on the zone, and dared us to shoot it from outside,” Roberts said. “By the time they finally came out on (Rhone) she had already made four or five.”

Keota held a 24-21 lead when Colfax-Mingo began to play its best basketball of the night. Senior Dakota Hostetter rebounded a Rhone miss and scored on a putback.

Then another Rhone miss was gobbled up by senior Amy Russell. That offensive rebound by Russell led to a foul and two free throws. It extended the home team’s lead to 28-24, and the Tigerhawks never trailed again.

“She needs to shoot the ball even after misses. If she’s open, I want her to shoot it. She has the green light,” Roberts said of Rhone. “When she missed a couple, (Hostetter) got an offensive rebound and put it back in and (Russell) got one and got fouled.

We are athletic enough to go get the rebounds on misses, too. Missing is not the worse thing for us.”

Leading 29-27 after three quarters, Russell began the fourth quarter with a trey and two free throws.

That’s when Rhone went back to work. Her first 3-pointer of the second half capped an 8-0 run that put Colfax-Mingo (3-9, 3-7) up 10. Her final two triples of the night came midway through the fourth and kept the Tigerhawks in front by double-digits.

“Winning feels so much better. I just wanted to help us get the win,” Rhone said. “It felt good to see the ball go in the hole.”

Hostetter converted another putback, while junior Ries Wilson scored a bucket inside and buried two free
