Halferty addresses gun rights, mental health at meet-and-greet Breckenridge, Parrott also part of three-event series

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Iowa House District 29 Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) answers a question from the audience during Saturday’s legislative coffee, attended by about 50 people. To Kelley’s immediate right is Rep. Greg Heartsill, along with Sen. Amy Sinclair and Sen. Chaz Allen.

Education funding contentious at legislative coffee All four county lawmakers answered constituent questions

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News School funding, water rights, human trafficking and mental health care were among the many topics raised by legislators and citizens during Saturday’s 90-minute legislative coffee.

The first of three Jasper County League of Women Voters legislative coffees scheduled for the first few months of the 2016 legislative session produced some contentious moments on those topics. About 50 people packed into the Newton HyVee’s Club Room to hear from the legislators and ask questions, and received some replies that were, at times, detailed and/or

passionate.

All four legislators whose territory includes part of Jasper County — District 15 Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) District 28 Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia), District 29 Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) and District 14 Sen. Amy Sinclair (R-Allerton) — were at Saturday’s coffee.

Each legislator made an opening statement about priorities, positions and expectations before moderator Ruth Barnett scanned the audience for hands raised to ask questions.

One of the most lengthy exchanges happened on the final question of the coffee, asked by Jim Nilles, a Newton resident who teaches social studies at

Puppy Mills Awareness Day set for Feb. 3

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News In an effort to bring awareness to the dog breeding industry in the state, Iowa Friends of Companion Animals are working to designate Feb. 3 as Puppy Mills Awareness Day. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the proclamation for the county at its Tuesday meeting.

“Iowa Friends for Companion Animals is currently proposing that all counties as well as the state of Iowa adopt a proclamation declaring Feb. 3 as Puppy Mill Awareness Day. This coincides with a lobby day that we will be having at the capitol,” group representative Paula Arkema

said.

The proclamation states the Iowa’s proud agricultural heritage has ingrained a tradition of responsible stewardship of the animals in its care, and the worldwide use of dogs as service animals for the handicapped or visually impaired, as vital partners in search and rescue efforts, for law enforcement and military duty, for medical and therapeutic solutions and additional noble roles.

Those traditions have been compromised in the state by the more than 200 large-scale commercial dog-breeding operations, approximately half of which are cited annually for violation to the AWARENESS | 3A

Knoxville High School.

“Will the House Republicans be willing to go higher than 2 percent (increase) on school funding?” asked Nilles, looking at Heartsill, the lone House Republican from the area.

“I am solid on 2 percent,” Heartsill said. “Last year, we were asked to get this done early so that we can get our budget set, and that’s what we’ve done. We weren’t trying to get in this game of ‘You pick a highball number, we’ll pick a lowball number, and we’ll find something in the middle. That isn’t how it works. We looked at all of the departments that are still suffering from the 10 percent cut of a few years ago.

We came up with 1.25 percent as what we could afford, and we took the same approach this year.”

Jokes were told and refreshments were enjoyed Saturday at the Colfax Senior Citizen Center, but heavy subjects were addressed as well.

Called “Halferty for Sheriff 2016 Meet and Greet,” the first of three scheduled similar events took place Saturday morning. Halferty, who was elected to his first term as Jasper

Halferty and Parrott are seeking re-election and Breckenridge is challenging Rep. Dan Kelley for the Democratic nomination for the Iowa Legislature House District 29 seat.

Breckenridge said working with Halferty in their law enforcement roles, the two have often found themselves wanting to take slightly different approaches to address problems, but have always known they’re on the same team, seeking the same solutions.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Three new solar panels were installed at McCall Monument over the last several months to help the building become more energy efficient, and to save a little money as well.

Solar panels added at McCall Monument

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To become more energy efficient, McCall Monument recently installed solar panels at its Newton location. Owner Lee Barnett hopes the investment will help save on energy costs and also help the business lessen its impact on the environment.

“It is kind of a long-term, long-range plan to make it pay off, but we going to be here a long time so we thought it was a good fit,” Barnett said.

McCall contacted Moxie Solar of North Liberty more than a year ago after seeing a display at another business.

“We started talking to them and went back and forth. Then finally, last spring, we decided we were going to go forward

with it,” Wyatt Barnett said.

“They started putting up panels in the fall, in October and November, then kicked us over live Dec. 31.”

About 400 solar panels now sit on top of three outbuildings located behind the main office, design and showcase building at 801 Highway 14.

With the panels, 100 percent of the electrical usage should be covered by solar power, saving the company money and helping the environment in the process.

“It kind of made sense for us for financial reasons. Our electric usage kept going up,” Wyatt said. “We also liked the environmental benefits behind it as well. It helps to lesson our carbon footprint, which is always good.”

Although it was a big invest-

ment, Lee thought more than $100,000 total, they were able to get both grants and tax breaks to help minimize the cost.

“We think it will help us be competitive. It will help to keep costs down, whether it is energy costs or supplies, it is just good,” Lee said.

This will be the only location Lee plans to put the solar panels, as it is the largest and has the most work done including more lights, and an air compressor that runs all day long. McCall’s other location are mostly office buildings that do not use as much electricity.

“It seems like a win, win in the long run,” Lee said.

European shares lifted by rebound in Chinese markets TOKYO (AP) — European shares got off to a strong start to the week Monday, helped by a rebound in the wobbly Shanghai Composite index, though other markets in Asia were mostly lower.

Germany’s DAX gained 1.2 percent to 4,858.70 and the CAC 40 of France was up 1.0 percent. Britain’s FTSE 100 rose 0.7 percent to 5,848.09. U.S. markets are closed for a public holiday on Monday.

But Dow futures were up 0.8 percent and S&P futures gained 0.7 percent, suggesting an improvement in sentiment following Friday’s rout on Wall Street.

Fourth-quarter growth figures due Tuesday will likely show that strong consumer spending offset slowing investment, keeping growth in the last quarter at about 6.8 percent or higher, analysts say. But recent volatility in Chinese markets has overshadowed those trends toward stabilization in China’s growth picture.

“Nerves are still heavily focused on China as we approach a major economic data dump from China,” Angus Nicholson of IG said in a commentary.

Why global woes and sinking stocks don’t mean US recession WASHINGTON (AP) — Last week’s harrowing plunge in U.S. stocks — fueled by economic fears about China and plummeting oil prices — left investors anxious and alarmed.

Some wondered if it signaled an approaching recession in the United States.

The answer, most analysts say, is no.

The American economy is expected to prove resilient and nimble enough to avoid serious damage, at least anytime soon.

For all the economy’s challenges, the job market is strong,

home sales are solid and cheaper gasoline has allowed consumers to spend more on cars, restaurants and online shopping.

The companies that make up major stock indexes are far more vulnerable than the economy itself is to distress abroad: Companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index derived 48 percent of their revenue from abroad in 2014, up from 43 percent in 2003.

By contrast, exports account for only about 13 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product — the broadest gauge of eco-

nomic output. That’s one of the lowest such shares in the world.

Exports to China equal just 1 percent of GDP. “While the U.S. economy’s exposure to China is relatively small, the multinational companies that trade on the stock market are much more exposed,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

The S&P 500 sank 2.2 percent Friday and has tumbled 8 percent since the year began, deflated by expectations of even lower oil prices ahead and fears that China’s once-explo-

sive economy is slowing more than anyone had expected. On Friday, the Xinhua news agency reported that Chinese banks reduced loans last month from a year earlier.

It was the latest sign that China’s economy continues to decelerate — an ominous trend for U.S. companies, like heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar, that have significant business there. (Caterpillar shares shed 2.7 percent Friday.)

“For many of these companies, the narrative behind their growth and earnings prospects

is China,” Zandi said. “If you throw that narrative out, investors get nervous.”

The disconnect between the actual economy and the price of stocks isn’t new. From the waning days of the Great Recession into the tepid recovery that followed, stocks managed to gradually rise despite persistently high unemployment and tepid economic growth. Now, the opposite seems true.

“Main Street is better, and Wall Street is suffering,” said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital.

Kelley, who advocated for higher state supplemental aid to schools several times during the coffee, said the state must do better than the 2 percent increase in K-12 spending proposed by Republican legislators.

Democrats have advocated for 4 percent, and the state’s Republican governor, Terry Branstad, has called for 2.45 percent.

“No matter what the legislature sets it at, we can’t let the governor just veto it without answering for that,” Kelley said, referring to Branstad’s line-item veto of a one-time $55.7 million appropriation for schools last spring.

Norma Skinner passed away in December 2014, and Chuck died more than 20 years ago. Foundation president Kathy Macy held back tears as she made an announcement over the PA when the check was presented.

At the end of the event, much of the crowd piled into the Fore Seasons bar to watch the final moments of the Green Bay-Arizona NFL playoff game on the

With new legislation, the group hopes to create direct state oversight of USDA licensed commercial establishments, update the definition of shelters, rescues and sanctuaries and adjust fees inequalities for grooming and breeding services.

ception.

It will not harm small-scale “hobby” breeders but could actually help them by lowering fees, relaxing inspection requirements and maintain current licensing requirements for breeders with less than three dogs used for breeding, and who breed and sell puppies.

It also does not change the exemption for hunting dogs.

Supervisor Joe Brock asked how the proclamation is expected to be received by Gov. Terry Branstad. Arkema said they had not yet received a response from the governor’s office.

“We have had several other counties sign our proclamation but have not received an answer from Governor Branstad,” Arkema said.

clair, the ranking member of the Senate Education Committee, acknowledged the role of funding in the session in her opening remarks, pointing out how much more time she’ll spend on education than her other committees, especially early in the session.

“A thorough proposal of FY 2017 funding is going to be the top priority,” Sinclair said. “And the FY 18 funding proposal is being drafted as well.”

Kelley’s opening comments addressed, in part, the governor’s proposal to adjust the SAVE penny sales tax distribution to create potential money for water quality. He said pitting educators and farmers against each other is a mistake, and politically motivated.

“It’s kind of like asking ‘do you like dogs or bunnies?’” Kelley said. “And if you say you like

Continued from Page 1A “If John and I argue with each other, it’s because we’re passionate about what we do,” Breckenridge said.

Coffee and snacks were served, and about 30 people showed up to the event. Halferty discussed mental health and gun rights as related and important issues that must be addressed in the months and years ahead.

“Any directive that comes from the federal government to take guns away from good-standing citizens, I’m not doing it,” Halferty said. “Taking guns away from rightful citizens is not a solution; I don’t think that will happen. Do I think the public should step up and say something about people with mental health issues wanting to get guns? Absolutely. But my staff has issued about 400 permits in the past six weeks, and I fully support that.”

Halferty said working statewide and with government leaders to create more mental health inpatient care and more total psychiatrists will be priorities.

The sheriff said the arrangements between his agency and the county’s smallest police departments are strong, even though staffing is limited in some municipalities.

“I think we have a good system now,” Halferty said.

“There’s a shortage, but we help each other out as much as we can.”

Halferty’s deputies and contracted drivers have transported mental health patients great distances, but the sheriff plans to advocate for more bed space of any kind, even if it’s not conveniently located for some agencies.

“We’ll fully support and work with that,” he said.

The second meet-and-greet will be hosted by Kellogg Mayor Mark Frymoyer from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Kellogg Fire Station, 417 Front St. The third event is from 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 30 at Uncle Nancy’s Coffeehouse, 114 N. Second Ave. W. in Newton.

Halferty said his agency contracts with communities that don’t have police departments to respond to calls.

He said it will continue to be important to get to as many parts of the county as possible on regular patrols.

“We try to hit all areas,” Halferty said.

vulgarity at that conference,” Heartsill said.

Kelley said he and Heartsill strongly disagree on the conference, but also agrees that everyone should move on from it and focus on stopping bullying in schools.

Linda Kirchhoff, of Newton, asked what the legislators planned to do to combat human trafficking. All four legislators said action must be taken; efforts by Sen. Kevin Kinney (D-Oxford) are supported by both Allen and Sinclair.

Medicaid and mental health were discussed at length. Direct action was not discussed as much as increased legislative oversight; Heartsill acknowledged the closure of mental hospitals in southern Iowa by the governor has created a new challenge.

Sinclair cited the massive

state costs of Medicaid as a main factor in privatization as one step toward a solution.

Kelley criticized the governor’s “rush to privatize.”

Jasper County Veterans Affairs Commission member Jerry Nelson asked what the legislators are doing to bring jobs to the area, besides providing tax cuts. Allen was one of the legislators to reply, saying it’s important to be on the phone a lot, trying to bring businesses of all sizes to each town.

“It’s not easy,” Allen said.

“If you bat 20 percent on that, you’re a rock star.”

There will be two more coffees, scheduled for Feb. 20 and March 19. The public is invited to the free events.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Wash Your Hands Frequent handwashing is one of the best defenses against getting or spreading colds or the flu. Cold and flu viruses are spread when a sick person coughs or sneezes and droplets carrying germs land on their hands or surfaces. When you come into contact with germ-covered surfaces, proper handwashing prevents the spread of these germs from your hands to your nose or mouth. In a study, military recruits were told to wash their hands five times a day. After 2 years, they had 45% fewer cases of respiratory illness compared to the sickness rate of previous recruits.

Use alcohol-based sanitizers when you can’t wash your hands.

Approximately 2.5 billion adults around the world read print newspapers.

92 percent of women ages 2544 read newspaper digital media — the highest among any age or gender group.

Millennials are 39 percent more likely to read newspapers on a mobile device than any other age group.

Newspaper content is 50 percent more likely to be retweeted than all other local media including television and radio.

46 percent of Twitter users follow news organizations, reporters or commentators.

57 percent of adults use print and online newspaper media for weekly shopping planning and purchase decisions.

Seven in 10 adults use newspaper-delivered coupons.

Mobile ad spending is expected to surpass that of desktop in 2016 with an estimated spend of $40.5 billion.

84 percent of people follow the news because they want to know

what is going on in the world around them.

85 percent of millennials say keeping up with the news is at least somewhat important to them, and 69 percent get news daily.

These statistics from the Newspaper Association of America are intriguing and are featured among several other fascinating articles about our industry in this month’s Editor & Publisher magazine.

Aside from who is indulging in newspaper reading and in what ways, industry leaders are talking about whether mass shootings should become its own beat. This issue went to press shortly after the San Bernardino, Calif. shooting.

The national editor of the New York Times is calling the coverage of mass shootings “something of a playbook now.”

In Pennsylvania, a newspaper has launched a peer-support group for journalists who cover traumatic stories. I recall an effort of this nature was discussed among reporters during my time at The Messenger in Fort Dodge,

where we were often covering fatal car accidents, tragic fires and a lot of heartbreaking crimes. Most hate to admit it, but reporters have feelings too. Some experiences and some images remain in our minds long after the news story has lost its following.

Elsewhere, newspapers are exploring the popularity of podcasts.

Like many, I didn’t realize I loved podcasts until the launch of “Serial.” If you haven’t listened to season one — hop to it and then join the rest of us who are mid-second season. After reading about this boom in larger market newspapers, I’ve secured a few more podcasts for my listening pleasure including The Guardian’s podcast that examines climate change, “The Biggest Story in the World.”

Another trade magazine this month discusses marijuana in advertising. Newspapers that run ads for pot are breaking the law if they use the postal service for delivery to subscribers, the U.S. Postal Service is warning. While not too great of a concern for us

in Iowa, this piqued my interest because I’m currently judging a newspaper contest for the Colorado Press Association. Not surprisingly, their editorial content features the booming business of marijuana sales. It will be difficult for me not to review their advertising content now and see if advertisers are perhaps breaking the rules. Meanwhile, I’m begrudgingly making my way through other editorial content in this contest with some jealousy — many feature the likes of skiing resorts and oh-so-hip breweries.

It’s fascinating to take a look at media trends and topics across the country. It’s also reassuring to see that many community newspapers are exploring new ways to tell stories and deliver important, relevant news to its readers. Our commitment is to our readers — and it’s not a commitment we take lightly.

Keeping our community colleges and state universities affordable is a must if we want to attract and expand businesses that create the kinds of high-wage jobs that help Iowans get ahead.

We must ensure that all Iowans have access to high-quality, affordable health care.

We’ve all come to see Medicaid as the safety net that will ensure we get the health care we need if we fall on hard times. Without the Medicaid program as we know it, a medical emergency or a chronic illness could easily bankrupt Iowa families.

That’s why Iowans are so worried about the haphazard privatization of Iowa Medicaid. Rather than dismissing the well-founded

concerns of Iowans, we should take action. I hope that the outcry from constituents will encourage the House to join the Senate in taking up Medicaid oversight legislation this year.

I also hope we’ll agree on legislation to stop the closure of Iowa’s remaining mental health institutes. Voting for quality, effective mental health care for Iowa’s most vulnerable citizens is a matter of human decency and public safety. If we don’t invest in a strong mental health system, we’ll end up paying even more for law enforcement, jails and prisons.

These are the issues Iowans are talking about. If we listen to them, we should be able to find bipartisan agreement on what they care about most.

A few still slide down hills, make snow men if there is a snow to be had. Almost everyone over indulges in food and there are those that drink a little more than they should. Many folks sit alone in nursing homes, or go to a restaurant for a dinner or stay in their homes alone just remembering the days of long ago. I do not believe there is any real format or should there be as to how every person or family should enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s Eve

other than it should be a day for counting ones blessings and being thankful for being born. Just like the movie “It’s a wonderful life.”

I am most certainly glad I was born into this varied world of non-perfect people and governments. The ideal picture of a family or world might be sitting in front of a fireplace with those you love or maybe riding in a sleigh or some other beautiful Rockwell paintings scene. What was your picture of the holidays?

In the commercial that President Obama released prior to his final State of the Union address, Obama said he would t e l l C o n gress h o w “ o p t i - By John Stossel mistic” he is about America’s future.

Good. Politicians and the media are at their most dangerous when they try to scare us, telling us disaster is on the way unless we follow, and pay for, their latest schemes to “protect” us.

I’m cautiously optimistic about the future, too, if only because our last 200 years have shown that despite politicians’ attacks on open markets and individual freedom, people keep getting richer and living longer.

When Obama talks about the America we are creating together, it would be more honest if he congratulated Americans for all the progress we make despite government fighting us at every turn — with taxes and regulations and booming debt that lowers the value of each dollar.

Of course, presidents want to be remembered positively, and Obama’s cheerleaders are eager to put a happy spin on things in his final year in office.

Michael Grunwald at Politico decided to help with a piece about Obama’s policy accomplishments, describing America as “the nation he built.” Obama once told us that if you have a business, “you didn’t build that,” so I guess now we know who does the building.

Grunwald praises Obamacare for expanding the number of Americans with health insurance and points out that, at the same time, the administration also sneaked through a government takeover of student loan debt. John Boehner was correct to complain that “the pres-

ident will sign not one, but two job-killing government takeovers.”

But Grunwald says that sticking taxpayers with billions of dollars of student debt was part of the “relentless government activism” needed to give America “a profound course correction” that also changed “the way we produce and consume energy, the way doctors and hospitals treat us, the academic standards in our schools and the long-term fiscal trajectory of the nation.”

All that is true, if by changing how we consume energy he means shutting down pipelines while ignoring private industry’s wonderful fracking revolution.

If by changing the way doctors treat us he means locking still more people into bureaucracies instead of letting a true health market flourish.

If academic standards mean imposing weird testing regimens and teaching methods like Common Core.

And if “long-term fiscal trajectory” means nearly doubling our federal debt, now almost $19 trillion, and doing nothing to slow America’s coming entitlements bankruptcy.

Leftists can credit Obama with policy successes because Obama often outmaneuvered Republicans and got bills he wanted. Unfortunately, the left rarely looks closely at whether those bills really made Americans better off.

Grunwald says Obama’s $800 billion stimulus package crammed in a whole administration’s worth of programs in one go — but Grunwald adds only in passing that economists don’t agree on whether the stimulus accomplished anything good.

That’s the whole problem. Politicians unleash programs — the more complicated the better — and then take credit later for anything good that happens, blaming the bad things on their political opponents.

Couple’s excessive drinking strains longtime friendship

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been friends with another couple, “Bill” and “Emily,” for 20 years. We usually have dinner together once every four to six weeks.

In the past, everyone enjoyed a cocktail or a glass of wine with dinner and nobody overdid it. But over the last year or so, it is clear that they have started drinking earlier in the day, before we arrive. They each consume multiple drinks while my wife and I are still on our first. Emily often is noticeably drunk within the first hour and excuses herself to go to bed while Bill continues drinking. Often dinner plans at their house or at a nearby restaurant must be canceled because of this behavior.

When they visit our home, Emily helps herself to several glasses of wine before dinner and then passes out in our guest room, while Bill sits on the couch rambling on and we speed up the cooking to get food on the table.

When dinner is finished, we suggest it’s time to call it a night. Our get-togethers are now over in less than two hours.

How do we tell these otherwise nice friends that they drink too much?

— UNWILLING BARTENDER IN ARIZONA DEAR BARTENDER: The next time Bill and Emily come to your home for dinner, make sure your liquor is locked up and don’t serve any.

If you are asked about the omission, you and your wife should tell them that YOU have decided to “cut back” on your alcohol consumption because it will enable you to enjoy their company more. (I wish you could videotape their reaction.)

It will be interesting to see if you still enjoy their company when they are sober, and vice versa. If they take offense and decide to socialize with you less often, don’t take it personally. Realize that alcohol now rules their lives.

I do not think you should try to perform an “intervention” because it doesn’t appear you are close enough to them to do it with much success.

DEAR ABBY: I was married for 27 years before my divorce. The ending of my marriage was both painful and unexpected. I was in therapy throughout the divorce and for some time after.

Later I moved to another state so I would no longer have to risk running into him. But just when I think I have moved on, something is said or something happens that brings my pain and anger back to the surface.

I heard once that when one is in a serious relationship, that it can take twice as long to get over it. Is this the same for a marriage? Can I expect it to take 2 times 27 years before I am finally over my ex and my divorce? — UNEXPECTED DIVORCE DEAR U.D.: There is no set timetable for “getting over” a divorce. Much depends on the reasons for it. Some people hang onto their pain and anger for the rest of their lives. Others grow beyond the experience and are able to move on. They cultivate new friends and interests, and sometimes find a romance to replace the one that was lost.

I predict you will move beyond your pain and anger when you are ready for another relationship.

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.”

Branstad’s budget has no money for summer reading program The Associated Press DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad’s latest budget proposal does not include any money for an upcoming state-mandated summer reading program for struggling third-graders, a move educators say could adversely affect those students and hold them back a year.

The Intensive Summer Literacy Program will not have state dollars attached to it under Branstad’s budget recommendations for the fiscal year that begins in July. The Iowa Department of Education had requested about $9 million for school districts to fund the program, which must go into effect in 2017.

Ben Hammes, a spokesman for Branstad, said the governor’s budget is “very tight” this year.

He said Branstad intends to secure the $9 million funding during the legislative session that begins in 2017, with a special request to lawmakers that it be provided by March of that year.

Staci Hupp, a spokeswoman for the education department, said in an email the agency understands Branstad’s explanation. She added, “We’ll do everything we can to support (school districts) with existing resources.” She noted a separate, continuing education appropriation of $8 million for early literacy initiatives, though advocacy groups point out that money is directed to year-round programming that doesn’t include the summer reading program.

The summer reading program was included in a law passed in 2012 intended to

make Iowa students proficient readers by the end of the third grade. Many provisions of the law are in effect, including universal screening of students in Branstad kindergarten through third grade for signs of reading deficiencies. Effective in May 2017, the law will require every Iowa school district — roughly 335 — to provide an evidence-based summer literacy program for third-graders who exhibit a substantial deficiency in reading. A third-grader under that designation who fails to attend the summer program could be held back a year.

The law includes a one-time waiver for school districts, so it’s possible some schools will be able to delay immediate implementation. A struggling student will also be able to advance to the fourth grade if he or she has limited English proficiency or they demonstrate another exemption written into the law.

Tammy Wawro, president of the Iowa State Education Association, said there are serious concerns with the lack of funding. Her group wants the program delayed despite the governor’s pledge.

“There are so many funding issues that then to add something like this on top of it, schools ... they’d be crazy not to be worried about being on the hook for this,” she said.

The education department released data last year that show nearly one in four Iowa

House fire kills 3 children, 1 adult

Budget proposal leaves out bullying office DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad’s budget recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year leave out direct funds for a bullying prevention office he created months ago via executive order.

Branstad didn’t direct general fund money to the Center for Violence Prevention at the University of Northern Iowa in his recent budget proposal. The center, which requested $250,000, was tasked with managing the Governor’s Office for Bullying Prevention.

A Branstad spokesman says the governor expects the center to be funded under his proposed $8 million request of new money for the Board of Regents, which oversees Iowa’s three public universities. The schools sought a combined $20 million in new funding, separate from the bullying office.

A UNI spokesman declined to comment on whether UNI would use some of that funding for the bullying office. third-graders is not proficient in reading. In a data set of roughly 32,000 students, more than 7,500 were substantially deficient in reading. More than 2,800 were considered at risk.

“That’s a huge number of kids,” said Heidi Meyer, a teacher who specializes in early literacy intervention at MFL MarMac Elementary School in Monona. “For some of these especially larger districts, but also small rural districts like mine, to find the number of staff to cover that many hours will be a challenge.”

Meyer noted that finalized standards for the program released late last year require that enrolled third-graders have an 85 percent attendance rate and 70 hours of instruction during the summer. That came after some educators expressed concern that a higher attendance rate and hours of instruction

would be too difficult to achieve.

Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames and chairman of the Senate Education Committee, called the lack of funding “seriously negligent.” He said he had already planned to hold hearings this session to review the law and its guidelines for school districts.

Sen. Ron Jorgensen, R-Sioux City and chairman of the House Education Committee, said he plans to meet with education officials in the next few days to discuss available options, including a temporary delay for implementing the program. He emphasized he supported the concept as long as it’s properly funded.

“We don’t want to come up to this timeline and see that we have a great percentage of kids that don’t have access and would have to be retained according to the law,” he said.

BOXHOLM (AP) — Three children and their mother died in a house fire overnight, and bitter cold conditions complicated rescue efforts for firefighters Sunday in the central Iowa town of Boxholm.

Boone County Emergency Management Coordinator Dave Morlan said firefighters had problems with their gear because of the cold.

The fire was reported around 12:45 a.m. Sunday when the temperature was 6 degrees below zero in the town of about 200.

“We had a ton of problems. A lot of pumps on the fire trucks freezing up. They had some hydrants that were freezing up,” Morlan said.

“Boxholm is small and we had some problems ... we ran out of water and had to go further out of town to get water.”

The cold weather definitely slowed firefighters down, but Morlan said he wasn’t sure how much their rescue efforts were delayed.

Rick Lampe with the Boone County Sheriff ’s Department said 27-year-old Amber Sorenson, 9-yearold Riley Sorenson, 6-yearold Autumn Sorenson and 4-year-old Brayden Sorenson all died in the fire.

The victims’ bodies were recovered around 2:15 a.m.

Iowa State Fire Marshall Jeffrey Quigle said his office is investigating the fire’s cause.

“Extreme, bitterly cold weather are not the best conditions to conduct a fire investigation in,” Quigle said.

In tight race, Democrats debate passion versus practicality The Associated Press C H A R LE S T O N , S.C. — With just two weeks to go before the first votes of the 2016 race for president, Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders engaged in their most contentious debate match-up to date, underscoring their tightening primary race as the Iowa caucuses draw near.

The pair tangled repeatedly Sunday night over who’s tougher on gun control and Wall Street and how to shape the future of health care in America.

Their heated rhetoric highlighted the central question fueling the increasingly competitive primary race: Will the Sanders passion beat out the Clinton practicality?

While Clinton remains the national front-runner, grassroots enthusiasm for Sanders’ outsider candidacy and his unapologetically liberal message has imperiled her lead in Iowa and expanded his advantage in New Hampshire.

“What this is really about is not the rational way to go forward,”

AP Photo Democratic presidential candidate, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, left, Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton and Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt, stand together before the start of the NBC, YouTube Democratic presidential debate at the Gaillard Center Sunday in Charleston, S.C.

Sanders said as he responded to Clinton’s argument that his health care plans would reignite a divisive political battle.

“It’s whether we have the guts to stand up to the private insurance companies.”

Clinton derided as impractical Sanders’ ambitious aim to replace the country’s existing employer-based system of health care insurance with one in which the

government becomes a “single payer,” providing coverage to all.

Instead, she urged a less-sweeping action to build on President Barack Obama’s health care law by working to further reduce out-of-pocket costs and control spending on prescription drugs.

“We have the Affordable Care Act,” she said.

“That is one of the greatest accomplishments of President Obama, of the

Democratic Party, and of our country.”

In doing so, she again cast herself as the natural successor to Obama and accused Sanders, until recently an independent, of being an unfaithful ally of the administration.

It’s a strategy aimed at locking down Democratic primary voters, particularly minorities, who make up a huge swath of the party’s base and remain devoted to Obama.

Big supply of liquid propane gas causing price to plunge WATERLOO (AP) — Supplies of liquid propane gas are leading to some of the lowest prices in years.

Suppliers and industry experts say that’s good news for consumers who rely on LP gas to heat their homes and businesses who need a ready stock of the fuel to power manufacturing.

New drilling technologies over the past few years that have allowed the U.S .to rapidly expand oil production also have yielded more natural gas production.

Rising production and stagnant demand caused inventories of natural gas and crude oil to expand to record high levels. These huge inventories drove natural gas to a 16-year low in December, less than $1.70 per million BTUs. Crude oil, meanwhile, reached a six-year low at less than $35 per barrel.

Phil Flynn, energy analyst with Chicago-based Price Futures Group, said LP prices over the coming winter months will be “among the cheapest in decades.”

The weather is a contributing factor, he said.

“Mainly because of El Nino and the warm winter we had in November and December, some people didn’t even turn on their heat,” Flynn said.

Now that temperatures have plunged to more seasonable levels, consumers will notice a break on their gas bills, Flynn said.

“We can expect some price spikes along the way, but overall prices will be the cheapest in 10 years,” he said.

He also noted that prices on the Henry Hub Natural Gas Price Futures Index had reached a 17-year low.

Supplies are high, and that has maintained “a downward pressure” on prices, Flynn said.

“So, it’s the best of times to heat your home,” Flynn said.

Gas has gotten about as low as it can go and maintain a profit for suppliers, said Scott Halverson, energy division manager with the East Central Iowa Cooperative, an LP supplier at 1467 W. Airline Highway in Waterloo.

Cardinal bowling teams in command at home

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Freshman Cutter Benac and junior Alexis Etter stepped into varsity team roles for Newton High’s bowling teams Saturday, helping the Cardinal squads win at home.

Benac rolled a 316 series, which was third-best on the team, as the boys claimed a 2,463-1,812 win over visiting Bondurant-Farrar. He had games of 150 and 166.

Etter was second on the girls’ squad with a 328 series on games of 153-175.

Newton’s girls improved to 7-0 by defeating Bondurant-Farrar, 2,299-1,913.

Bowling on their home lanes at Cardinal Lanes,

the Newton boys were led by junior Sam Supino with a 349 (183-166) and sophomore Reece Thurmond bowling a 327 series (159168).

Senior Shea Carre finished with a 311 (153-158) and junior Reid Miller at 310 (129-181). Shaiden Simmons, a sophomore, had a 246 (123-123). The boys are 6-2 for the season.

Carre said the varsity boys were striving to improve their Baker Games scores as the season finished up. Newton led the BlueJays 1,523-1,349 after the individual games. The Cardinals posted Baker Games scores of 196, 181, 185, 174, and 114 for a total of 850.

“The boys won by 651 pins. They bowled about their average, which was more than enough to take down Bondurant-Farrar,” Newton head coach Brett Jacobs said.

Leading the way for the Cardinal girls was senior Madison Humphrey, who threw a 358 series on games of 166 and 192. Freshman Alicia Miller was third on the day with a 307 (147160) and sophomore Kaytie Hughes had a 270 (144126).

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High sophomore guard Garrett Sturtz fired in a career-high 30 points Friday as the Cardinals lost, 70-63, in overtime at Norwalk.

Newton boys let one slip away in OT at Norwalk

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — Finishing has been a problem the past two basketball games for Newton High’s Cardinal boys. The Cardinals had No. 1 Pella on the ropes Tuesday and lost, then let a 10-point lead slip away in the final 1:42 of regulation Friday against host Norwalk to lose 70-63 in overtime.

The two teams went into the Little Hawkeye Conference game deadlocked in second place at 3-2. Newton

was up 59-49, the Warriors outscored the Cardinals 11-1 down the stretch in regulation, tying it up at the buzzer on an off-balanced putback bucket from Michael Geistler.

“Newton basketball is obviously still in a developmental stage as we progress through our season,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said. “We’ve more than competed with the top two teams in the Little Hawkeye Conference on their home courts.”

Liley said he believed the Cardinals should have won both games.

BOYS | 5B

NORWALK — Playing catch-up basketball of late, Newton High’s Cardinal girls ran into a second straight loss in Little Hawkeye Conference action.

The Cardinals had another slow start Friday night against host Norwalk. The Warriors fended off a couple second-half runs by the Cardinals to hand Newton a 56-42 setback.

Newton dropped to 7-6 overall and 2-4 in conference play. Five of the six losses by the Cardinals have come against ranked opponents.

“It comes down to getting stops,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said. “We’ll get back to basics and keep working. It’s our hardhat mentally.”

Norwalk pushed out to a 10-1 lead and was up 14-3 at the end of the first quarter. Newton began to climb into the game during the second quarter.

Down 24-9, Newton’s junior Taylor Shipley scored followed by senior post player Jessica Reynolds. Senior Hannah Rhoads was fouled, hit one free throw and because of a

PCM girls hold off improved Hawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Katie Vande Wall, center, had eight points and eight rebounds against South Hamilton on Friday. The Mustangs won 46-36.

MONROE — Prairie-City Monroe’s Mustang girls basketball team took awhile to get going offensively, but a balanced effort helped keep South Hamilton in reverse during Heart of Iowa Conference play Friday.

PCM trailed by one after the first quarter. It didn’t take the lead until Katie Vande Wall converted a bucket with the foul early in the second quarter, but things got much better in the second half during a 46-36 victory.

“For whatever reason, we didn’t play tough in the first half,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

“We were better with that in the second half.”

PCM defeated the Hawks by 33 in Jewell earlier this season,

but South Hamilton is an improved team. The Hawks handled the Mustangs’ full-court pressure much better and didn’t turn it over near as much.

The Mustangs stayed the course and outscored their visitors 26-17 in the second half.

“We are still making mistakes that we shouldn’t be making,” Lindsay said. “We just get in too big of a hurry. You don’t have to go super fast to run a good offense. We want good timing, good spacing and good recognition.

“They are much better. They didn’t turn the ball over near as much as they did the first time we played them. It’s a credit to them.”

It was the sixth straight loss by South Hamilton, which dropped to 1-11 overall

and 1-8 in HOIC play.

Rachel Stafford’s seven first-half points kept the Mustangs (8-6, 7-3) in the game, and then her teammates got going in the second half.

Kayla Jennings put in nine of her 11 in the final two quarters. Stafford finished with nine points. Bailey Brodersen, Jayci Vos and Vande Wall all scored eight in the victory.

PCM was down after the first quarter but went to the locker room at halftime with a onepoint advantage.

“They packed it in on us and forced us to shoot it from outside,” Lindsay said. “That’s how most teams are going to play us. We’ll have to deal with it and continue to take them and have confidence in them.”

Lineup changes spark Mustang boys against Hawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — A change to the starting lineup was just what Prairie City-Monroe’s boys basketball team needed to end a two-game losing streak.

Mustang coach Fred Lorensen inserted freshman Andrew Van Ryswyk and sophomore Elijah Sperfslage into the starting lineup for the first time this year. The decision proved to be instrumental in helping the Mustangs break out of a funk during Heart of Iowa Conference play Friday night.

Logan Gilman scored 12 of his team-high 22 points in the first quarter and then got help from his teammates the rest of the way as the Mustangs swept the season series from South Hamilton during a 67-51 victory.

“We were trying to go a little deeper than we had been going,” PCM coach Fred Lorensen said of the lineup changes. “We had a couple good practices Wednesday and Thursday with what we had been looking at so we decided to keep things the same for the game.”

In his first start of his high school career, Van Ryswyk scored a career-high 11 points, including a 3-pointer at the back end of an 8-0 run that stretched the Mustangs’ sixpoint lead to 14 with a little more than two minutes to play in the game.

Juniors Sheldon Speers and Noah Clark also made impacts off the bench. Speers scored eight of his 12 in the fourth quarter, while Clark added a career-high 11.

Four Mustangs scored in double-figures for the first time this season. Gilman, Clark and Luke Greiner each had five rebounds. Mark Bruxvoort grabbed four boards.

Gilman handed out six assists.

“It was a good team effort.

Our bench did a great job. It was a lot of fun,” Lorensen said.

PCM (8-5, 6-3) nearly led wire-to-wire. The Mustangs went ahead for good when Clark found the scoring column with a bucket inside the lane. That made it 9-7 and PCM led 14-11 after one.

Gilman outscored the Hawks in the first quarter. He was excited to go head-tohead with Division I prospect

Collin Hill again.

“I wanted to come out and have as many points as he did and maybe D him up a little bit if I got the chance,” Gilman said. “He’s a great player.

I have nothing but respect for him. I love competing against him. It was a lot of fun.

“We had a chip on our shoulders because we had lost two in a row. We had something to prove. We have struggled at home so the idea was to get going early and give them something to cheer for.”

The Hawks (5-6, 4-5) got as close as 21-20 in the second frame as Hill knocked in back-to-back buckets. Speers answered inside at the other end and his two free throws on

Host Nevada sweeps Raiders

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NEVADA — It was a tough night for the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter basketball teams Friday night during a Heart of Iowa Conference varsity doubleheader.

Held to 11 points at halftime, the Raider girls fell to Class 3A No. 3 Nevada, 6626, while the boys McWhirter fell behind by 17 at the break and lost to the Cubs, 6727.

Carter Larson’s 13 points and four rebounds led the way for Larson the Raider girls, who dropped to 1-11 overall and 0-10 in HOIC play.

Kathleen Baldwin had four points and six rebounds.

The Raiders took 24 shots from the floor and made eight of them.

Lexi Koudelka led all scorers with 21, while Kati

Cassabaum and Claire Ausman each scored 11.

Cassabaum went passed 1,000 points for her career in the victory. Nevada (102) improved to 8-0 in conference play.

The Raider boys were led by Hunter Gunderson’s nine points and five rebounds, while Hunter McWhirter scored eight points and tallied four boards.

Brady Kemp finished with five rebounds and four assists.

CMB made 9-of-34 from the floor and 7-of16 from the line. Nevada connected on 26 of its 56 shots from the field, 8-of22 from the 3-point range and 7-of-15 from the line.

Joseph Heintz came into the game averaging seven points per game but finished with a game-high 21.

Cole Gidel scored 12.

It was the Cubs (7-4, 5-4) third straight win.

CMB plays three games this week. The Raiders host Greene County at 6 p.m. Tuesday, stay home to face Colo-NESCO at 6 p.m. Thursday and travel to North Polk at 6 p.m.

PCM’s next possession gave the Mustangs a five-point lead.

The Mustangs ended the half on an 8-1 run and led 2921 at the break.

“He said we were going to shift some guys in when others got tired,” Clark said. “I just wanted to use this to my advantage since I didn’t get to play much before this game.

“I feel like I definitely did what I could to help us win this game. This was a big win.

We were not playing well recently. This will bring us back up and get us going in the right direction.”

South Hamilton hung around for another quarter.

A jumper by Landon Quam got the Hawks back to with-

by Clark pushed the advantage to five heading into the final quarter.

PCM exploded for 24 points in the final eight minutes. Clark scored six quick points to push the lead to eight. Gilman and Van Ryswyk went back-to-back from distance to extend the advantage to 14.

“It was pretty big. I was wide open. I had to shoot it,” Van Ryswyk said of his 3-pointer.

“This was a big win. It gets our confidence back up and gets us going again.”

Hawk teams power past English Valleys Bears

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORTH ENGLISH — Lynnville-Sully’s girls and boys had almost mirror images of basketball games Friday night on the road in South Iowa Cedar League action.

Both were large-margin victories with continuous clocks against host English Valleys. Both Hawk teams

“I thought our defense was good the whole game,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach Jerry Hulsing said. “In the first half, our offense was sluggish, but in the second half we were a lot better. We moved the ball well and attacked gaps better.”

Lynnville-Sully’s girls got 16 points and nine rebounds from Marissa Vos. She also had three steals. Brenna Lanser added 13 points and controlled seven rebounds. Camryn Russell had 10 points, hitting three 3-pointers.

The Hawk girls shot 45 percent, 21-of-46, from the field and downed 11-of-19 free throw attempts. English

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Sage Ehresman takes the ball to the basket in a home game earlier this season. The Hawk boys took it to host English Valleys, 73-21, Friday at North English.

Valleys hit 7-of-33 field goal attempts for 21 percent and went 2-of-7 at the line.

Leading scorers for the Bears were Morgan Burns with six for the girls and Braydon Fisher with five for the boys.

The Hawk girls improve to 15-0 overall and 12-0 in SICL play. The Hawk boys have won eight games in a row for a 12-1 overall mark and are 9-1 in conference action.

They replaced Speers and Bruxvoort, who had been starting for most of the year.

“Sheldon and Mark have been starting every game,” Lorensen said. “They could have gone out and pouted and moped around, but they came in a played their guts out. It was good to see that.”

Hill led the Hawks with 22 points.

His brother, freshman

Conner Hill, added nine on three 3-pointers. No one else scored more than five.

“If you can keep him out of the lane, that’s a positive thing,” said Lorensen about Collin Hill.

Packers, Chiefs ousted in NFL postseason, title games set

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Xavier Miller, top, went 3-0 and claimed the 145-pound title at the ADM Invitational on Saturday. Miller is 29-4 on the season and has 95 career victories.

Mustang grapplers claim three titles, place sixth at ADM

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ADEL — Prairie City-Monroe’s wrestling team claimed three more individual titles on Saturday during the ADM Invitational.

Junior Xavier Miller (145) and freshmen Lucas Roland (138) and Wes Cummings (152) all went 3-0 en route to the championship in their respective weight classes. That led the Mustangs to a sixth-place finish in the 10-team field.

Winning the team title was Atlantic, which finished with 189 points.

Host ADM was second with 172.5 followed by Ames (167.5), Dallas Center-Grimes (159) and Waukee (126.5).

Roland-Story was seventh with 99 points and Nevada ended up 10th with 45.

Roland won the 138-pound weight class with two pins and

an 11-0 major decision. He improved to 27-2 on the year.

Roland was the No. 2 seed in the tourney. He defeated Conner Christensen of 3A Ames in the Roland title match.

Miller won his first match by fall, his semifinal bout 11-0 and then rolled by technical fall in the championship match over second-seeded Clay Selberg of Cummings Red Oak. Miller is 29-4 on the year and the final win Saturday was the 95th of his career.

Cummings, ranked No. 8 in Class 2A at 152 pounds, im-

proved to 23-1 on the season following two win by falls and a 10-8 decision over top-seeded Dallas Miles of 3A Dallas Center-Grimes.

Freshman Jarron Trausch was second at 170 pounds.

Trausch won his first match by fall, advanced to the title bout with a 9-5 win and then was pinned by Ames junior Marcus Coleman (28-1).

Also placing in the top six of their respective weight classes were juniors Jakeb Fenton and James Maggard and freshman Brycen Rogers.

Fenton was fourth at 106, while Maggard (160) and Rogers (126) were both sixth.

PCM does not wrestle again until 10 a.m. Saturday when it heads to the Heart of Iowa Conference meet in Nevada.

Hawkeyes defeat Michigan, now 5-0 in B1G IOWA CITY (AP) — A week filled with upsets will likely cause a major shakeup when the Top 25 is released on Monday.

One beneficiary should be Iowa, which is back atop the Big Ten after yet another impressive win.

Jarrod Uthoff scored 23 points and the 16th-ranked Hawkeyes beat Michigan 82-71 on Sunday for its first 5-0 start in the Big Ten in 19 years.

Peter Jok had 14 of his 16 points in the second half for surging Iowa (14-3, 5-0), who could be poised to push for its highest ranking since cracking the Top 10 two years ago.

“The key is to keep coming down and giving your team a chance,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.

“I thought our shot selection was really good, and we hit some key shots.”

Iowa, which has won seven straight, broke open a tight game with a 16-3 run midway through the second half.

Jok then buried a 3-pointer that made it 76-68 with 2:34 left.

Derrick Walton Jr. had 16 points for Michigan (13-5, 3-2).

The Wolverines played their fourth straight game without star Caris LeVert, who was out with a left leg injury.

“What is really separating them right now is the bench play,” Michigan coach John Beilein said of the Hawkeyes, who got 22 points from reserves.

“They were the better team than us without question. We fought hard.”

Iowa’s 76-59 blowout win at No. 4 Michigan State earlier in the week further cemented the Hawkeyes status as a legitimate Big Ten contender.

Iowa avoided a letdown against the Wolverines — who were coming off a 70-67 upset of No. 3 Maryland — and joined Indiana atop the league at 5-0.

Perhaps the most encouraging development for the Hawkeyes was that their crucial run came with the likes of Uthoff and

point guard Mike Gesell on the bench.

Jok and Anthony Clemmons hit consecutive 3s, and Jok buried another one from the corner to make it 63-52 with 9 minutes left.

“We’re taking stuff we’ve done poorly in the past and improving on it,” Iowa’s Adam Woodbury said.

The Hawkeyes opened with an 11-0 run and looked set for another easy win.

But even without LeVert, Michigan showed that it’s still explosive by scoring 13 straight points to take a 21-20 lead.

The Wolverines also scored on six straight possessions early in the second half, hopping back on top 49-47.

Aubrey Dawkins had 12 points for Michigan, which lost for just the second time in nine games after forcing only four turnovers.

“I felt like we softened a bit after the 11-0 start. Start of the second half, they were on fire,” McCaffery said.

“No turnovers in the second half (means) you’ve got a chance.”

GLENDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Larry Fitzgerald set up and scored the winning touchdown on the third play of overtime Saturday night, taking a 5-yard pass from Carson Palmer that lifted Arizona past Green Bay 26-20 after Aaron Rodgers’ desperation 41-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Janis on the final play of regulation.

Fitzgerald turned a short pass into a 75-yard gain on the first play of overtime to set up his 5-yard shovel pass reception for the winning score as the crowd chanted “Larry! Larry!”

The Cardinals (143), the No. 2 seed in the NFC West, will play the winner of the Seattle-Carolina game Sunday for the NFC title and a spot in the Super Bowl.

The Cardinals thought they had won until Rodgers, in a play reminiscent of Green Bay’s win over Detroit this season, took the snap with 5 seconds to play, scrambled and threw to the end zone.

The 6-foot-3 Janis outjumped defenders Patrick Peterson and Rashad Johnson for the ball.

Fitzgerald caught eight passes for 176 yards.

A strange play had given Arizona a 20-13 lead with 3:44 to play in the fourth quarter.

Damarious Randall, who moments earlier had made a key interception in the end zone, deflected a pass intended for Fitzgerald inside the 5 and the ball sailed into the end zone into the hands of Michael Floyd for a 9-yard touchdown catch. Floyd also had an 8-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter.

Janis caught seven passes for 145 yards for the Packers (11-7).

Patriots 27, Chiefs 20 F OX B O R O U G H , Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady hit Rob Gronkowski with two touchdown passes and reached over the goal line for another score to lead New England past Kansas City and into the AFC championship game.

It’s the fifth straight trip to the conference title game for the defending Super Bowl champions.

The Patriots (13-4) will meet the winner of the game Sunday between Pittsburgh and Denver for a spot in the Super Bowl as they try to become the first repeat NFL champs since they did it in 2003-04.

Brady was 28-of-42 for 302 yards.

After spending the last two weeks recovering from knee and back injuries, Gronkowski had touchdown catches from 8 and 16 yards.

The All-Pro tight end had seven receptions for 82 yards.

Julian Edelman returned from a broken foot to catch 10 passes for 100 yards for New England.

Kansas City (12-6) had won a franchise-record 11 consecutive games, including 30-0 at Houston last week in the wild-card round.

Alex Smith completed 29-of-50 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown.

Broncos 23, Steelers 16 DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning gets to face his biggest nemesis for one more shot at glory.

Get ready for Brady-Manning XVII. The NFL’s only fivetime MVP earned one more and possibly final game against his rival by leading the Denver Broncos to a comefrom-behind 23-16 win over Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers on a blustery Sunday.

That set up an AFC championship game next weekend in Denver against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

What a fitting feature to an 18th season for Manning that’s been equal parts trying and triumphant, filled with injuries and insults, rehab and redemption.

And yet another rescue.

Panthers 31, Seahawks 24 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Four games into his playoff career, Cam Newton recognizes the key element to success.

He calls it “Big Mo,” and there couldn’t have been a better example than Carolina’s 31-24 victory over Seattle on Sunday.

Emphatically backing up their superb regular season with one of the most dominating halves in football history, the Panthers then hung on in the face of a furious Seahawks rally before surviving.

The Panthers, winners of 12 straight at home, made all the right plays in building a 31-0 lead in the first half, then were dominated by the two-time defending NFC champs in the second half.

Iowa State gets back on track with road victory over Kansas State MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Iowa State’s Georges Niang and Monte Morris both felt the ball hadn’t bounced their way in consecutive Big 12 losses.

They didn’t leave anything to chance on Saturday.

Morris scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half, Niang continued his form at Bramlage Coliseum with 15 points, and No. 17 Iowa State kept Kansas State at arm’s length in a 76-63 victory.

“We stayed together,” Morris said. “When they made runs, we always hud-

dled up and kept our composure. I think when we are like this, I do not think anybody can beat us. When we focus, I feel like we play well and respond well to adversity.”

The win snapped a twogame skid for the Cyclones (13-4, 2-3 Big 12) after drop-

ping nail- biters to Texas and No. 22 Baylor, and prevented Iowa State’s first 1-4 league start since 2010-11.

Niang entered Saturday’s game averaging 14.7 points in seven games against the Wildcats at Bramlage Coliseum.

Abdel Nader added 14 points and Matt Thomas had 11 for Iowa State, which shot 50.9 percent from the field — meeting its season average of 50.2. Three players finished with at least six rebounds.

First-year Iowa State coach Steve Prohm used a timeout

with 9:35 play to spark a 7-0 run after Kansas State cut a double-digit lead to 50-45 on a basket by Justin Edwards.

Edwards scored 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Kansas State (11-6, 1-4).

Three times late, Kansas State pushed back but couldn’t get any closer than 66-59 with 3:12 remaining on a 3-pointer by Kamau Stokes.

The Wildcats cooled off after hitting 10 3-pointers against Texas Tech on Tuesday, completing just 4 of 21 attempts from beyond the arc.

“I think we let our lack

of offensive execution and shot-making affect our defense,” Weber said. “That meant we didn’t have any energy, but you have to let the defense create the energy.”

The first half had the makings of a blowout. A 7-minute scoring drought for Kansas State allowed the visitors to take a double-digit lead.

The Wildcats were 1 of 15 from the field during the spell and turned the ball over four times.

At one point, Kansas State scored three points on 19 possessions.

They were just out touched by a second in the 200 Webb free relay, 1:31.71 to 1:32.79.

“Our relays in those two races were very competitive with Sioux City. With season-best times, those two relays are in the top 10 of the state now,” Hook said.

Newton’s other medley relay team of juniors Paul Maharry and Logan Heisdorffer, and freshmen Deklan Lewis and Mason Lee placed fifth in 1:48.95. Lee and Lewis combined with senior Zach Theis and freshman Adam Hunter for 14th in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:49.82.

Warner captured third in the 100 backstroke in 58.66 seconds.

Knoll took 10th in 1:06.68 and senior Chet Adams placed 21st in 1:30.81.

Warner finished fourth in the 100 freestyle race in 50.99 seconds with Hunter in 16th at 59.21 and sophomore Grant Hamand in 21st at 1:13.98. King took fourth in the 100 butterfly in 58.66 seconds, and Lee was 15th in 1:11.92.

In the 50 freestyle, King claimed fifth in 23.45 seconds.

Maharry posted a 14thplace time of 1:14.23 in the 100 breaststroke. Hamand was 23rd in 1:38.25.

The Cardinals’ foursome of Hunter, Maharry, Theis and Heisdorffer took ninth in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:57.22.

The team of Adams, Bayne, Hamand and Knoll was 15th in 4:33.93.

Newton has its only home meet of the second half of the season on Tuesday. Des Moines Roosevelt and Atlantic come to the Newton YMCA on Senior Night. Swimming begins at 5:30p.m.

“It should be a barn-burner of a meet. Atlantic just beat us at Saturday’s meet and Roosevelt is always tough,” Hook said.

Hawk wrestling goes 3-1 at Wayne Duals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News CORYDON — Not a bad day’s work for Lynnville-Sully’s wrestling team. The Hawks were 3-1 at Saturday’s Wayne Duals tournament.

Boys Continued from Page 1B “The final process in our championship level development is learning how to close out games.

I feel confident we will get this figured out,” Liley said. “We have 10 games left to show improvement before the playoffs.”

Sophomore guard Garrett Sturtz hit six of the team’s 11 3-pointers on his way to a career-high 30 points. His 30 points tied him for 10th on the all-time single game scoring list for Newton. Sturtz dished out four assists and grabbed five rebounds.

Norwalk used a boxand-one defense to hold Newton’s leading scorer, junior Connor Gholson, scoreless in the game.

Gholson was limited to six field goal attempts for the game. He did have six rebounds, one steals, two assists and blocked two shots for Newton.

Newton and Norwalk went into the overtime period tied at 60-all. It was sophomore Luke Vaske who powered the Warrior victory with 32 points. Vaske scored the first 10 points of the game for Norwalk and tossed in nine of his team’s 10 points in the overtime.

The Cardinals’ only points of the extra period was a 3-pointer by Sturtz. Newton was outscored 21-4 in the final 5:42 of the game, which included the four-minute overtime period.

Norwalk led 14-11 after one quarter and was up 26-22 at halftime. A 3-pointer by Sturtz and free throw by senior Jwan Roush pulled the Cardinals even at 32-32 near the midway mark of the third quarter.

The Cardinals grabbed their first lead of the game on backto-back threes by junior Morgan Maher at the end of the third quarter.

Newton led 40-37 with eight minutes to play in regulation. The Cardinals maintained their

Girls Continued from Page 1B Reynolds opened the second half with a basket for the Cardinals followed by four free throws from Jenkins to close the gap to three points, 2825. A four-point surge by Tori Van Velzen inside stretched out Norwalk’s lead again.

It was 37-29 after three quarters of play.

The Warriors were up 47-36 when Rhoads hit a 3-pointer to trigger a 6-1 run to pull within six, 48-42. Turnovers prevented the Cardinals from getting any closer.

Reynolds led the Cardinals with 12 points.

Jenkins, Shipley, Megan Pressgrove and Rhoads each had six points apiece.

Newton went 12-of-19 at the free-throw line.

Norwalk got 17 points from Van Velzen and 14 points from Miranda Hughes. The Warriors

lead, pushing it to 56-46 with a little more than three minutes to go.

Free throws by seniors Joseph Banfield and Jake Bennett lifted Newton to a 59-49 advantage with 1:42 left. Then things unraveled for the Cardinals.

Twenty seconds later, a foul and a technical foul against Newton allowed Vaske to hit four free throws. Newton turned the ball over several times and didn’t score.

Newton still had a 59-55 lead with 32 seconds left, but another turnover led to a 3-pointer by Norwalk’s Matt Guessford.

Sturtz hit one of two free throws with 10 seconds remaining to put Newton up 60-58. Geistler tied it and with the overtime run, the Warriors handed the Cardinals their second loss in a row.

Norwalk went 24-of38 led by Vaske’s 19-of22 from the free-throw line to Newton’s 6-of-11.

The Cardinals shot 46 percent, 23-of 50, from the field, and the Warriors hit 21-of-42 for 50 percent.

Newton held a 27-24 rebounding edge against the much taller Warrior team, which had two 6-foot-7-inch players and one 6-foot-8-inch player.

Roush had 10 points, eight rebounds and four assists for the Cardinals.

Maher, who hit three 3-pointers, finished with nine points.

Geistler added 16 points and Trent Moritz had 10 for Norwalk.

Newton is 7-4 on the season and 3-3 in LHC play. The Cardinals step out of conference play Tuesday hosting Bondurant-Farrar (7-5).

Astrograph

Venus and Jupiter are still at odds, and the Taurus moon is a bull in the china shop of love. Chances are good that something will get broken -- hopefully something small like a passing expectation or a casual appointment. Roll with it. Better to take these kinds of things in stride than to invest them with too much power over your mood.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 18). You will owe many happy times to one meaningful pursuit that will wind up touching every area of your life. Your excitement will be contagious: Your team will revere you and you will be awarded a position

of honor. February and June are the best times to invest. Collect in July and October. You’ll be a hero in May. Virgo and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 4, 44, 42 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Investigate the pauses. What you think is an intrusion on your life is actually just more life. Accept and embrace it and you’ll be immediately happier. Resist and you’ll go on disgruntled.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

If you don’t know what you’re doing and you have the power to do it anyway, you’re in a position for maximum results.

They won’t be the results you

110 N 5th Ave W Newton, IA 50208

Call for details.

Call 641-792-5320 today! were going for, though, so keep an open mind about how to apply them more usefully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You communicate so many ways: visually, conversationally and with subtle emotional shifts.

You can believe that those who are intimately connected with you can feel your every mood shift today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Should you reduce your number of wants and needs or instead work to increase your means?

The second way is favored now.

There’s an abundant source out there waiting for you to tap into it. It’s about time you branched out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If there’s no one around you now that makes you feel jealous, you’re not meeting enough people. You need to find those motivating forces that will push you toward who you secretly want to become.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As the sign of nurturing, you’re a natural gardener in the landscaping of life with a strong feeling about which weeds to destroy, how much to cut back the shrubs and what you should leave to let grow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When you started this, it may have been under the heady influence of self-deception. That was necessary. So are those cheerleaders who will root for

you before you deserve it. Accept all the support you can get.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

This work you’re doing is not a sprint; it’s a long, long walk.

Small, repetitive actions will eventually get you to the goal.

So, in order to avoid burnout, take your time and make yourself comfortable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The most productive time you’ll have will be a luxurious hour of ennui. You’ll be kept from your intended activity and without many alternatives.

Boredom produces brilliance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be inspired by what certain people around you are doing, and you won’t be able

to resist the urge to join in the fun. You’ll get the sneaking suspicion that this was always meant for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You have not yet experienced an hour of need such as someone around you is going through now, but your instinct about how to help will be nonetheless dead-on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It will fall to you to solve the problem, and, yes, all eyes are on you. But don’t worry; you don’t have to make up the solution from scratch. Use one that worked for someone else and twist it into your own version.
