Veterans Affairs setting goals for 2017

Next set of uncontrolled intersections goes before council

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Kurt Jackson of the Jasper County Department of Veterans Affairs spoke to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday during his quarterly report to the county. He shared several figures detailing the funding the department is currently receiving and the activities it is participating in.

“We’re in the top 20 counties in Iowa for veteran population and amount of money the veterans affairs government from federal level is putting into Jasper County alone is more than $15 million per year,” Jackson said.

Jasper County, according to a 2015 assessment done by the VA Office of Actuary, has 3,023 veterans living in the county receiving $15,760,604 in government funding. Jasper County sits at number 20 in veteran populations in the state but is within about 300 of the top 15 and 1,400 of the top 10.

Of the 3,023 veterans in Jasper County, only about 1,200 have been recorded by the office.

“We are men of steel when we get out of the service, we don’t think we need any assistance,” Jackson said. “My job, I see, is to identify the 3,023 veterans in the county and get more of the federal money into the county, that is what I am working for.”

Jackson also shared the number of rides veterans received by Jasper County RIDE Program.

For October through December veterans in the county received 35 rides with more than half going to Des Moines.

Under the child abuse pathway, law enforcement, the courts and the Iowa Department of Human Services work together.

The cases are treated more urgently, and the investigation is much stronger.

Another round of uncontrolled intersections are being addressed with traffic signs by the city. City council approved the first reading of an amendment to an ordinance adding stop signs at eight uncontrolled intersections on Tuesday.

The intersections are located in an area bound on the west by First Street North, on the east and north by city limits and on the south by First Avenue East. They were analyzed by the traffic safety committee based on factors including school traffic, pedestrian traffic and the neighborhood dynamics.

“There is a process that we go through in determining how we address these issues. It is not just a willy-nilly, let’s throw one here or there, it is data driven,” mayor Mike Hansen said. “I think it is a great idea. There have been many, many times that people have suggested that misoccurances have happened at intersections that were not controlled and so we don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

The committee recommended that stop signs be added at the following uncontrolled “T” intersections: A stop sign for eastbound traffic on North Third Avenue East at East 21st Street North. A stop sign for eastbound traffic on North Fifth Avenue East at East 16th Street North. A stop sign for eastbound traffic on North Seventh Avenue East at East Fifth Street North. A stop sign for eastbound traffic on North Seventh Avenue East at East 15th Street North. A

Local leaders push to protect drug-endangered children Hard drug use could be changed to child abuse under Iowa law

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Imagine a parent shooting up heroin in front of their child. It is a frightening image. When a parent faces such an allegation in Iowa, it is not assessed as child abuse.

Under current Iowa law, if a parent stands accused of abusing cocaine or heroin in the presence of their

child, the case will not be looked at as child abuse.

Unless the child is under 6 years old, the same applies for a parent using methamphetamine.

Instead, these cases are classified as “family assessment,” and law enforcement is not involved. Until 2014, all hard drug abuse allegations were treated as child abuse assessments.

Auctioneer performs final cry after 63-year career

By Anthony Victor Reyes Jasper County Tribune

Submitted Photo William “Bill” Shields calls an auction. Since starting his career in 1953, Shields bid called everything from pigs to pans.

“$84 bid, now 85, now $86, will ya give me 87? $87 bid, now 88, 88 bills. Sold!”

Since 1953, Iowa residents have heard William “Bill” Shields utter this rhythmic repetition of numbers at hundreds of auctions across the state. But on Tuesday, the local livestock community lost that famous auctioneer’s cry.

Before his death on this week, Shields announced he would be retiring from the auctioneering business due to his health and age.

After 63 years of fasttalking, Shields had only two words left to say to the community: “thank you.”

“Thanks for the many good years,” Shields said

Our Savior Lutheran members to receive national award Couple to receive The Lamb Award

Concert and free chili supper at Kellogg UMC The Kellogg United Methodist Church will host a free supper at 6 p.m. Saturday. The free meal will be served in fellowship hall and all are invited to enjoy chili, vegetable soup, cornbread, French bread, poke cake and beverages.

A concert by True North featuring Brian Keeton and Terry Bradley will follow the supper at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary. Kellogg UMC is located at 417 Second Street, next to the water tower in Kellogg.

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News One Newton couple and members of Our Savior Lutheran Church have been selected to receive the Lutheran Lamb Award next month.

Matthew and Kristin Rogahn will receive The Lamb Award, which is a national recognition bestowed on Lutheran adults by the National Lutheran Association of Scouting to acknowledge the distinguished service of Lutherans fostering the Christian spiritual growth of youth through church and civic youth serving agency programs.

The Rogahns have served as high school Bible study teachers and congregational youth group counselors for more than 15 years.

During that time, they have also provided leadership roles in all levels of the Boy Scouts of America with special emphasis on religious growth programs and leadership training.

Pastor John Moore of Our Savior Lutheran Church said the couple has served as Christian role models and have promoted spiritual growth for the church’s youth.

The Rogahns have also been members of the National Lutheran Association of Scouting for at least 10 years.

“Our job was to actually choose someone for this award and someone ended up choosing us,” Matthew Rogahn said.

The couple works with children and youth from age five to teenagers.

In Brief

Chris Rose to speak Jan. 29 Submitted Photo Matthew and Kristin Rogahn will be awarded The Lamb Award next month, which is a national recognition by the National Lutheran Association of Scouting. The couple has served at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Newton for over 15 years mentoring youth. The couple will receive the award on Feb. 12.

“Every kid that we work with, they are all unique and have gifts and talents,” Matthew Rogahn said.

Kristin Rogahn said she and her husband started serving when their own children were 1 and 3 years old.

“It’s amazing to see how he has used the youth in different ways,” Kristin Rogahn said.

Moore said the couple accompanies the church’s youth to out of state events every three years.

“They work together in everything they do,” Moore said.

“It’s a beautiful thing to see.”

Moore said he has received many positive notes and letters from people the Rogahns have positively impacted through volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America.

“The day and age we are in, it’s a challenge to faithfully express Christian faith, and they do a great job with showing love to them and meeting the teens where they’re at,” Moore said.

“They provide a seamless team and effective approach to the youth of the community, as well as the church congregation as a reflection of their Christian faith and life,” Matthew’s father, Rev. Gregory C. Rogahn said.

The couple will be presented with the award on Feb. 12.

“We are humbled,” Matthew Rogahn said. “Get to know your youth, it’s amazing we are always learning something from them,” the couple said in agreement.

Plan to reduce number of parishes in northwest Iowa diocese ​SIOUX CITY (AP) — 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 Sioux City Journal reports that 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, who serves on the diocese’s priests personnel board, says the changes will not affect any of the diocese’s schools.

The plan says 38 buildings across the diocese will be reduced to “oratory status,” meaning they will no longer hold Mass, but could continue to host special events like weddings and funerals.

Bahrain bans paper from publishing online after protests DUBAI, United Arab ​ Emirates (AP) — Bahraini authorities ordered an independent newspaper to stop publishing online Monday and said a city hall was set ablaze during clashes between opposition protesters and police.

The suspension of AlWasat’s online operations followed a spike in anti-government protests led by the country’s Shiite majority that began Saturday. The demonstrations accelerated after three men convicted of a deadly bombing targeting police were put to death Sunday.

Opposition activists allege that the condemned men were tortured and see their executions — the first since

2010 — as inflammatory and politically motivated.

Bahrain’s Information Affairs Authority issued an edict barring Al-Wasat from publishing online Monday evening and said the ban would remain in place until further notice. The ban did not appear to affect the print edition of the paper.

It said it acted “due to repeated publication of material inciting division in the community, jeopardizing national unity and disrupting public peace,” according to a brief statement carried on the official Bahrain News Agency.

The paper’s editor in chief, Mansoor al-Jamri, suggested the decision had taken the

paper by surprise.

“We’re trying to get information from the authorities on their points of concern,” he said.

Al-Wasat is widely seen as the only independent newspaper in Bahrain. It has been ordered shut twice since an Arab Spring-inspired uprising against the Sunni-led government erupted in 2011.

Local & State News DEC Continued from Page 1A the parent and informs them of the allegation, before setting up a meeting at a prearranged time and date. If the parent is using the alleged drugs, they will have ample time to clean up the house.

The child protection worker can then recommend the parent seek treatment.

“Once they make the referral to voluntary services, they close the case, and the assessment is done,” Assistant Jasper County Attorney Scott Nicholson said. “There’s no follow up. There’s no drug testing. There’s no interviewing the child. There’s none of that.”

Nicholson, who is also chairman of the Jasper County Drug Endangered Children (DEC) Board of Directors, said that family assessment relies on the truthfulness of drug addicts.

“Family assessment is very different because it is a voluntary basis thing,” Nicholson said.

Family assessment is an excellent tool for some circumstances, Nicholson said.

For example, if children are living in a dirty house, family assessment can be used to sit down with the parents and address the situation. The Jasper County DEC team felt methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin use is too serious of a problem to handle the same as a dirty house.

Sen. Chaz Allen, D-Newton, also saw the process as problematic, so he secured the formation of a DEC workgroup by attaching it to the health and human services budget. According to the workgroup report, the DEC workgroup was “directed to examine issues and develop policy recommendations related to the protection and safety of drug endangered

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Jan. 18, 2017 | 3A

children for purposes of a child in need of assistance and child abuse proceedings.”

The workgroup formed in the aftermath of a legislative proposal that was not adopted during the 2016 session.

The workgroup’s report was submitted to the legislature in December. The report recommended defining a drug endangered child as “a child whose health, safety or welfare is endangered or threatened as a result of any dangerous substance activity in the presence of the child as defined in Iowa code.”

The DEC workgroup, which met twice during the 2016 legislative interim, proposed several changes to the language in Iowa code. Most significantly, the changes would put cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine use in the presence of a child of any age under the child abuse pathway, instead of the family assessment pathway.

Allen, who attended one of the workgroup meetings, said members of the House and Senate are currently trying to put the report’s language into a bill.

“We already have the bill being drafted,” Allen said.

“I’m trying to find a Republican co-sponsor (in the Senate). Once that’s done, I believe it’s kind of noncontroversial because DHS has agreed to it. We just have to get the language in the right bill and get it voted on.”

Nicholson said Rep. Greg Heartsill, R-Columbia, is going to propose the bill in the House. Heartsill proposed last year’s bill, too.

Rep. Wes Breckenridge, D-Newton, is also supporting the effort. Breckenridge is on the DEC board of directors.

“Wes has been behind this from the beginning, even before he was elected,” Nicholson said.

The bill that failed to pass in 2016 was not support-

Submitted Image Iowa Administration Rule, Ch. 441-175(2)(b) is the intake screening tool used to determine whether an allegation is assessed as child abuse or family assessment. In regards to drug use, current law dictates that only an allegation of methamphetamine use in the presence of a child under the age of six years old be assessed as child abuse.

ed by DHS. The workgroup’s new report, which is trimmed back in comparison to last year’s proposal, is supported

by DHS. Nicholson said the department deserves a lot of credit for getting on board with the bill.

“I’m proud of the department for realizing this is the way to go, that these drugs are dangerous, and they should be treated as child abuse assessments,” Nicholson said.

DHS’s blessing is important because the law changes would impact the agency directly.

Child abuse cases are tedious and demanding. Much more work goes into a child abuse case in comparison to a family assessment case.

“Under child abuse assessment, law enforcement is involved because DHS and law enforcement will usually go to the house together, unannounced, to see what’s really going on with the parents,” Nicholson said. “It’s much

more effective.”

Before the DEC team of Jasper County formed in 2007, DHS and the drug task force did not cooperate effectively, Nicholson said. Former Jasper County Attorney Steve Johnson drafted an agreement that allowed the entities to share information. As a result, relationships improved.

The Jasper County DEC Board of Directors is in its 10th year of existence. It has more than 20 members from diverse backgrounds. Probation officers, DHS employees, a school resource officer, a chief of police, a victims services coordinator, nurses from a children’s hospital, a doctor and others make up the board.

All members are volunteers for the nonprofit organization.

Nicholson said not many people know about the DEC team.

“We don’t advertise,” he said. “We just try to protect children.”

Nicholson said Jasper

County is one of the more aggressive counties in the state when it comes to removing children, what you have to do to get your children back and what relatives have to do to get the children.

“We try to make sure that once we remove a kid from a drug-endangered situation, they never go back,” he said. “I think that’s made a big impact on kids in Jasper County.”

Once the bill is drafted, it will have to pass through the legislature before it can be signed into law. That process is not usually speedy, especially with a bill that will partly overhaul how an agency operates.

“I don’t want this to start in 2020. I want this to start in 2018, and even that’s too late,” Nicholson said. “But I understand it’s going to take a lot of work.”

In other business, the board discussed a proposal for a possible cooperative effort to pave a road that has been turned to gravel. Troy Knight of Diamond Trail Sales spoke with the board about the road used to get to his business located northwest of Monroe. When Knight purchased the property the road coming in was paved and ideal for his business. Since that time, it was turned into a gravel road and has become a source of frustration for the business owner.

“I bought the property with the intention of growing a business and had no idea the paved road going into it would be turned into gravel,” Knight said. “I have pictures of a totally polished truck and the first guy that drives it goes down the muddy road and they come back with mud all over the back and I have to spend another two

Another issue Knight has found is semis traveling on the road pick up rocks which hit the vehicles on the lot.

Knight would like to work with the county to fix this problem, possibly by paving the road at his own expense. The board heard what Knight proposed and said they would be willing to talk with him about potential work to the road.

In other business: • Nathan Squire was hired as a full-time jailer

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Langmaid

I

would like to think I embrace change and that it is just a part of life. As of late, it seems like the seasons change quicker than I can keep up with.

The seasons of life seem to change just as quickly as summer turns into fall and fall turns into winter. My Christmas tree was up for three weeks, which may be normal for some people but not for me. It usually stays up for at least a month.

A lot of this hustle and bustle stems from just moving into a new home in December. This means the holidays

flew by in a flash with a lot of change and a lot of extra to-do lists.

Not to mention this is the first year my fiancé has been living in Iowa with me for Christmas, which has brought on a lot of new and fun traditions. This past Christmas Eve was also the first time I didn’t sleep at my parents’ house and wake up there on Christmas morning. I guess I’m finally “adulting.” However, another new change this past year was opening gifts with my parents and sister in the evening of Christmas day instead of Christmas morning.

This new change wasn’t one I was too happy about embracing, but as you get older, schedules are different and you have to make do, and it turned out to be just as enjoyable.

Just as quickly things change in our personal lives, the world is changing just as fast.

So now, we are in mid-January and storefronts are piled up with heartshaped boxes, teddy bears and other Valentine’s Day treats, President-elect Donald Trump is slated to officially take office Friday, Washington D.C. is in limbo as it changes parties, teens are flocking to see the latest movies in the new 4-D picture and there is still unending violence in our world that is in the news daily.

The fact of the matter is that change is constant. It’s easy to get

caught up in your mile long to-do lists. As I tend to have three lists, a work to-do list, a wedding to-do list and the “miscellaneous” to-do list.

It’s okay to feel the stress some days, but if I start my day with a positive attitude and a cup of coffee, I’m usually good to go.

I try to find the joy in every day even though I might not know what is to come next. I think that is very relevant with today’s world. There are a lot of unknowns to come with the new leader of our country, the weather and keeping up with today’s ever-changing technology.

In the midst of it all, I will remember to enjoy today and take it one todo list at a time.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Image of great economic leader is dangerous Alibaba CEO Jack Ma, one of the richest men on the planet, recently met with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower. After emerging from the meeting, he stood alongside Trump and announced: “We specifically talked about ... supporting 1 million small businesses, especially in the Midwest of America. Small businesses on the platform selling products — agriculture products and American services — to China and Asia because we’re pretty big in Asia.” Trump shook Ma’s hand in front of the cameras and announced, “Jack and I are going to do some great things,” before shaking hands.

This is good news, obviously. Bringing investment to the United States is worthwhile, and opening trade is excellent. The minipresser was skimpy on details, as most of Trump’s economic big-win meetings have been. What does Ma get in return for the headline?

Or is he simply moving toward investment in the United States on the basis of broad-based economic policy, including deregulation, from Trump?

There is one big problem with photo ops like this: They promote the myth that great men run the economy.

Since Trump’s election, he has met at Trump Tower with CEOs from major companies and then trotted them out to the press, shaken their hands and announced new investments. This is in Trump’s interest — he gets terrific headlines about how his very presence has boosted the economy. It’s in the interest of the individual companies, too — they are on the good graces of the president-elect, plus they get the halo effect of being perceived as more patriotic and self-sacrificing.

But this routine creates the impression that the economy is essentially a series of negotiations between the president of the United States and individual companies, that the economy is, in simple terms, a rigged game. Advocates for such optics thrill to them. Isn’t it showing that Trump is business-friendly? Doesn’t it demonstrate that an activist commander in chief can bring the economy roaring back so long as he exerts the force of his will?

It’s the force-of-will argument that’s troubling to advocates of economic freedom. Economies do not thrive because command-and-control businessmen determine the fortunes of individual companies, or because they threaten individual businesses with governmental repercussions if they dare to engage in profit-maximizing activities. Economies thrive because of broad, consistent policies that create reward for positive risk-taking and increased productivity.

But the aesthetic of the Great Leader standing beside the Great Businessman runs precisely contrary to this reality. It fulfills a public thirst for someone to run things, even though that thirst generates an outsized picture of what the president can and should do. The aesthetic perpetuates an ugly cycle: Great Leader purportedly runs the economy in coordination with business; economy goes south; Great Leader blames business; public calls for more power for Great Leader; and businesses are called onto the carpet to make concessions to the Great Leader. All of this generates a less free, less dynamic economy.

We can all cheer news that more companies want to invest in the United States; we can all hope and pray that Donald Trump’s economic policy draws more dollars and jobs to the country. But we should not fall prey to the economic misconception that the president ought to act as a benevolent economic dictator, bestowing favor upon all those who please him.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

87th General Assembly begins Jan. 9 marked the beginning of a brand new General Assembly in the Iowa Legislature starting with every House member taking the oath of office for our two-year term.

The first week of session is typically ceremonial and used for setting up the organization of our respective committees, hearing Gov. Branstad and Chief Justice Cady deliver their Condition of the State and Condition of the Judiciary addresses respectively.

I will be returning to four of the five committees I served on in the last General Assembly: Government Oversight (Vice Chair), Judiciary, Public Safety, Local Government. My newest committee assignment is Veteran Affairs.

Just moments before being sworn in for a third term, I was honored to participate in a proclamation ceremony where the Governor declared January as “Slavery and Human Trafficking Awareness Month” in Iowa. We have made great strides in recent years by bringing more awareness of the existence of human trafficking in our state and by also making the consequences more severe for those convicted of entrapping and enslaving our youth in this evil industry.

In continuing our effort to

State View Rep. Greg Heartsill combat human trafficking in our state, the focus will shift to a more proactive and preventative role. I was also grateful to learn that the top legislative priority of the Iowa Network Against Human Trafficking this session was legislation that I have been working on for the last three years.

In addition to the regular pomp and circumstance of opening week, the House leadership wasted no time by digging into the current budget to fill a $117 million hole which was revealed in the recent Revenue Estimating Conference’s (REC) revenue projection for Fiscal Year ’17. Due to a sluggish agricultural economy (and the resulting ripple effect in other industries) Iowa’s revenue growth is slowing.

While the details of the budget cuts are still being worked out, I can assure you that the legislature will not be repeating the mistakes of the 10 percent across-theboard cuts of 2009 that decimated K-12 schools, public safety, and human services. We will be work-

ing to make targeted, thoughtful reductions that minimize the impact on services. This will by no means be an easy or popular process. There is no easy solution and difficult decisions will need to be made. However, in light of the shortfall, state government will have to do some belt tightening like any other Iowa family or business faced with a similar dilemma.

I will again be holding town hall forums in each of the three counties in House District 28. Be sure to check my schedule for one that is closest to you. On Saturday, I will be at the Monroe City Hall at 9 a.m. and Pleasantville’s Smokey Row at 10:30 a.m.

If you are unable to attend one of my scheduled forums, please feel free to contact me with your issues or concerns as they arise.

I appreciate and welcome your comments and feedback. Also, if you would like to subscribe to my weekly e-newsletter, please send a quick note via email and I’ll put you on the list.

I consider it a great honor to serve and represent you in the Iowa Legislature.

Until next time, God bless.

January is “Sister City Month,” and we have a display at the Newton Y in the first floor display cases, depicting activities. One of those projects has been our high school student program, an important aspect of our relation-

ships with our sister cities in Wu Chi, Taiwan and Smila, Ukraine.

Our current student, Yu-Tsen Kuo, from Taiwan, was hosted during the first semester by Sveta and Zach Miller. His second semester home is with the Marvin and Cindy Thurmond family.

The student program started in 1993 and we are proud that we have had 41 students take advantage of the opportunity to participate in area high schools since 1993. We appreciate the numerous host families that have welcomed our students. Without this support, it would not be

possible to sustain this important program.

We have been privileged to have many dedicated OPEN Board members as well in the last 25 years. Our sincere thanks to all who have been a part of our successes. Our current Board members are: Sheri Benson, Warren Erickson, Jane Johnson, Debbie Knopf, Frederick Kramer, Mary Beth Lawson, John McNeer, Sveta Miller, Jeff Price, David Raymond, Tori Reynolds and Joan Tyler.

Learn to manage anger before exploding at kids

DEAR ABBY: I am a 23-year-old woman, and I know I should have a lot more patience than I do right now.

I’m happily married with two beautiful children. After work when I return home, I’m fine for the first hour or so.

But if my children start to get loud or keep asking me to do something, I get extremely aggravated.

My children are young and I love them, but I should be in more control of my temper toward them. I feel so bad when I lose it and shout at them.

What can I do to improve this? — SHORT FUSE IN GEORGIA DEAR SHORT FUSE: I’m glad you asked, because it is important that you learn to relieve your frustration without taking it out on your children.

There are healthy ways of managing frustration without exploding.

The first is to recognize that you are becoming upset. Leave the room and, if your husband is home, go for a walk or a short run to help you to regain your perspective. Another technique is to “stall” before reacting. Pause for a moment and say a prayer, “Please Lord, don’t let me lose my temper!” before opening your mouth. My booklet, “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With it,” contains a number of healthy ways of dealing with frustration and other negative emotions. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $7 in U.S. funds, to Dear Abby — Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. I hope it will be helpful to you. It’s important that you get a handle on your temper so your children won’t grow up thinking that verbal abuse is a normal way to handle their own emotions.

DEAR ABBY: My 25-year-old daughter suffers from Peter Pan Syndrome. Three years out of college, she

wants to live an “extended dorm” lifestyle with other young men/women (and their girlfriends/boyfriends), instead of settling down and moving out with her boyfriend of two years.

She says she has “a high need for affiliation” (she needs a lot of people around 24/7). But she also has a high need for change/variety and rotates roommates every two to three years.

Looking for a “mini commune” in a crowded city like San Francisco is very difficult. What makes matters worse is that she also has hobbies like sewing that require a lot of space.

Is there something wrong with this lifestyle preference? And if so, how do I help her break out of it? — WORRIED DAD IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DAD: At 25, your daughter is an adult. Many people her age live communally because it’s less costly than living independently, and San Francisco has become so expensive that it’s often their only option.

If she’s already living in an “extended dorm” situation, it’s her life to live and she’ll learn lessons. If you feel compelled to offer her advice, suggest they relocate to a less expensive and crowded area, which may entail a longer commute, but with fewer roommates she will have more room for her hobbies.

Reynolds supports cuts to defund Planned Parenthood DES MOINES — Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds says she supports cutting money that helps at-risk youth in Iowa in order to pay for a new program that ends state funding for Planned Parenthood.

Reynolds, the incoming Iowa governor, defended the plan Tuesday by saying other services like foster care wouldn’t be affected. Gov. Terry Branstad and Reynolds want to create a state program that distributes family planning money to organizations that don’t perform abortions.

SIOUX CITY — An Iowa trial again has been delayed for a Nebraska man charged with killing his wife.

Court records say a Woodbury County judge approved a defense request to delay Rogelio Morales’ trial. It had been scheduled to begin Jan. 24. Court records don’t show that a new date has been set. The case was delayed last fall after Morales’ previous attorney withdrew from the case.

ACLU: Law on sidewalk picketing is unconstitutional MARION — An Iowa civil rights group is warning as eastern Iowa city to stop enforcing a local ordinance that requires a permit for anyone to hold a political sign on a sidewalk. The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa says it sent a letter Tuesday to Marion leaders demanding an end to enforcement of the ordinance after receiving a complaint from Rick Stewart. The ACLU says Stewart was holding a sign in September supporting presidential candidate Gary Johnson while standing in a public median.

Naked man found near city park treated for exposure COUNCIL BLUFFS — A naked man spotted near a Council Bluffs park has been treated for exposure.

Authorities say the man was spotted a little before 11:15 a.m. Monday, walking around Big Lake Park. A 911 caller told authorities that the man wouldn’t answer when asked whether he needed help. The National Weather Service says the local temperature at the time was 33 degrees.

Officers initially couldn’t find the man, but he was found about 2.5 hours later.

5 Man in school bus collision wants to withdraw pleas

MANCHESTER — A man accused of driving his vehicle into a loaded school bus in eastern Iowa wants to withdraw some guilty pleas. The attorney for 42-year-old Monte Klink filed a motion Friday. Klink pleaded guilty in November to second-offense driving while intoxicated and to two counts of causing serious injury by vehicle. His sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday.

Bill would let women sue doctors Ex-Iowa senator gets who perform their abortions prison for scheme DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow a woman who gets an abortion to sue the doctor who performed the procedure if she experiences emotional distress later.

If approved, it would be the first law of its kind in the U.S. The proposal, which was endorsed Tuesday by a GOP-led three-member panel of lawmakers, would permit the woman to file a lawsuit at any point in her life, something that goes against typical statute of limitation rules.

It could also make the state vulnerable to costly court challenges.

“What we’re asking for is that

individuals, doctors and clinics that make money off of women by giving them abortions are simply held accountable,” said Sen. Mark Chelgren, the Republican who introduced the bill. “That’s all this does. It protects women from people who would normally be trying to sell them something in a time when they are under the most stress that is kind of imaginable.”

The bill goes next to another committee. It’s unclear how much GOP support the idea has in the Iowa Legislature, though the state’s incoming Republican governor did not dismiss it.

Regardless of whether the proposal advances to the full Leg-

islature, it highlights how much abortion will dominate Iowa politics this year. The governor has already proposed a plan to end state funding for Planned Parenthood by passing up millions of federal Medicaid dollars. Instead, he would tap into a fund that currently helps at-risk youth stay out of the welfare and juvenile justice systems.

Meanwhile, dozens of newly filed bills related to education, labor and taxes are still waiting to be scheduled for discussion. And lawmakers have yet to formally consider any legislation to plug a roughly $110 million shortfall in Iowa’s current budget.

Dakota Access seeks to block pipeline study BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The company building the Dakota Access oil pipeline wants a federal judge to block the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from launching a full environmental study of the $3.8 billion pipeline’s disputed crossing of a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota.

Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners asked U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday to stop the Corps from publishing a notice in the Federal Register announcing the study. Boasberg scheduled a hearing for Wednesday.

ETP wants any further study put on hold until Boasberg, in Washington, D.C., rules on whether ETP already has the necessary permission to lay pipe under Lake Oahe — the reservoir that’s the wa-

ETP wants to block further study so that the decision on the permitting, which is likely weeks away, will be “free from the risk that its ruling will be frustrated or thwarted

DES MOINES (AP) — Former Iowa Sen. Kent Sorenson, who accepted money for endorsing presidential candidate Ron Paul in 2012, was sentenced to 15 months in prison Tuesday — even though prosecutors had sought only probation.

In Judge Robert Pratt’s surprise decision, he said “political corruption is slowly eroding the foundations of our Democracy” and those who betray the public trust must be punished.

Minutes before Pratt announced the sentence in federal court in Des Sorenson Moines, Sorenson said he is filled with regret and apologized to the people of Iowa and his former colleagues in the Iowa Legislature. The Republican, who was a sought-after Iowa politician as GOP presidential candidates began campaigning in Iowa in advance of the January 2012 Iowa caucuses, said he was “cocky, arrogant and filled with misguided ideas” after defeating a Democratic incumbent to win his Senate seat.

Sorenson first signed on as Iowa chairman of Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign but shifted support to Ron Paul just days before the caucuses. Even though Iowa Senate rules prohibit lawmakers from taking money from a political campaign, Sorenson accepted $59,000 from Bachmann’s campaign, then $73,000 for an endorsement of Paul.

Pratt allowed Sorenson, now 44, to remain free on bond and report to prison when told, likely in a few weeks.

Sorenson initially told a state Senate committee that he didn’t take the money, but he resigned in October 2013 when the committee concluded he’d taken money. He also lied to federal agents who were investigating whether the Paul campaign illegally concealed the payments but later decided to cooperate with the government.

In a plea deal, Sorensen agreed to testify against three Ron Paul campaign aides, who were charged with covering up the payments. Campaign chairman Jesse Benton and campaign manager John Tate received two years’ probation, and deputy campaign manager Dimitri Kesari received up to three months in prison. All are appealing their convictions.

Federal prosecutor Richard Pilger asked for two years of probation and community service for Sorenson, even though the maximum penalties for the charges he faced — causing false reports and obstructing an investigation — were 25 years in prison.

Shields Continued from Page 1A He said working with his father helped him master the craft of bid calling and understand the importance of the relationship between auctioneers and the people they serve.

“Well, my dad was always fair and honest with our customers, naturally, and expected me to be,” Shields said. “He was certainly above and beyond.”

As his career in auctioneering progressed, these qualities Shields learned from his father earned him the respect of his customers, colleagues and fellow auction criers.

“People knew (Bill), trusted him and liked everything about the way he performed. I guess, I kind of patterned myself after him — being honest,” auctioneer Melvin Montgomery said. “He was just a great auctioneer, as far as I’m concerned.”

In 1953, Shields attended the Reppert School of Auctioneering in Indiana. He said the school’s rigorous program helped him develop his chant and voice.

“He is so at ease with peo-

ple and the words just come.

He has a wonderful way with people,” Shields’ wife, Nancy said. “Bill had a beautiful singing voice.”

Submitted Photo

Shields also graduated from Newton High School in 1947 and the University of Iowa in 1953.

Shields cried his last auc-

tion on June 4. He said the sale lasted from 10:30 a.m. to around 3 p.m., and more than 100 people attended.

“It was a household sale at somebody’s yard. It was a good sale. I sold everything the woman owned,” he said.

“Health-wise, I knew I was done.”

Shields said he cherished the long nights, relationships and fun times he had over his accomplished career.

“There was a mortician down in Monroe. He also had livestock on the side and I went down to see him,” Shields said. “I went into his house, a very big house. He told me to sit down in the living room. My God, right over there on the sofa was a corpse.

I went right through the roof.”

Shields also made a lasting impression on the people he crossed paths with during his 63-year-long career.

“I remember Bill Shields got here all the time. He’d auctioneer usually the pig sales,” current owner of Colfax Livestock Sales, Sean Cogley said. “He has command of the crowd. Just kind of knows how much things are worth and starts things when they need to be started.”

To many in the community, he will be remembered as one of the best auctioneers in the state.

“He certainly was among the top, if not the No. 1, in his auctioneering profession,” longtime friend, Larry Hurto said. “He may have been, for a period of years, the No. 1 auctioneer people could turn to.” ​Shields was known for his endurance behind the auctioneer’s podium. His work in livestock sales would some times keep him away from home until the early morning hours. Before Shield’s death, his wife Nancy was glad he was finally home.

“He would auction for six to seven hours, without taking a break. He would stay out sometimes until 2 a.m.,” Nancy Shields said.

Shields said there are not that many “traditional” auctioneers nowadays. He encouraged aspiring bid callers to attend auctioneering school and “tie up” with an experienced auction crier.

“He will leave shoes that are going to be really hard to fill,” Hurto said.

No. 12 Boone defeats Cardinal girls

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News A buzzer-beating 3-pointer

by Randi Walters to end the first quarter and a 3-pointer from Ryanne Rausch to open the second period had Newton High’s Cardinal girls tied with Class 4A No. 12 Boone Tuesday night.

A putback shot by Ellie Horn and a free throw on the next trip by Horn pushed the hosting Cardinals to a 21-18 lead. Horn drew a third foul against Boone’s post player Claire Sandvig with 5:05 left in the second quarter, and Sandvig went to the Toreador bench.

Unfortunately, the Cardinals weren’t able to take advantage, trailing 31-25 at halftime. Courtney Jacobsen’s trey to open the third quarter pulled the Cardinals with within three again, 31-28, but that was as close as they got.

The Toreadors used a 15-5 run in the third quarter to pull away from Newton.

Boone won the non-conference contest, 59-40.

“This game was closer than the final score indicates. We’re right there against these ranked teams,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said. “It’s about putting a full game mentally together. We sustained things for 11 minutes then dropped it, but couldn’t get back to that focus quick enough. Boone took advantage of that.”

Sharp said the way the Cardinal post players — Horn and Ali Bestell — have been playing over a five-to-six

game stretch, they are going to draw fouls on opponents when the Cardinals get the ball inside. He said Newton had success going inside in the first half Tuesday night against Boone.

“We went away from that in the second half. You can’t settle offensively against a team like Boone. Boone is a very disciplined team offensively.

They do what they do and do it very well,” Sharp said.

A factor in the game came at the free-throw line as the Cardinals hit just 7-of-17 foul shots. The Toreadors downed 16-of-26 attempts at the line.

Boone outrebounded Newton, 33-25, and some of those were key offensive rebounds which Boone scored on.

Boone had a 9-4 lead when Rausch scored to keep the Cardinals going forward against the Toreadors. It was 18-12 when Walters’ drained the first-quarter buzzer-beater for three.

Newton went on the 6-0 run to open the second period which was answered with a 5-0 surge by Boone to take a 23-21 lead. Taylor Shipley hit both attempts on an one-and-one from the line to tie the game and the teams traded baskets.

Boone scored the final six points of the first half to grab a 31-25 lead at the break.

Walters, who had two assists in the game, found Jacobsen on a long pass and Jacobsen buried a 3-pointer to start the third quarter.

“Our defensive pressure was pretty good tonight. I thought our rotation was pretty good,” Hulsing said. “Our offense was OK — in the first half we got some good looks but struggled to finish and in the second half we did a better job of finishing.”

Lynnville-Sully shot 33 percent, 18-of-54, from the field and went 9-of-16 from the free-throw line. BGM finished at 26 percent shooting, 12-of-46, from the field and was 0-of-2 at the line.

BGM had 30 turnovers in the game.

Leading the way for the Hawk girls was senior Brenna Lanser with 16 points, seven rebounds, six steals and three blocks. Carson Fisk added 14 points and made four steals.

Also for the Hawk girls, Mariah Vos pulled down eight of the team’s 35 rebounds and scored five points, made four

assists and three steals. Jelissa Rozendaal had three points and eight rebounds. Hailey Scandridge scored two points and Jataya Meyer had one point.

The Bear girls got eight points from Aimee Hochstetler. Lyla Kriegel and Lizzy Worthington each collected 10 rebounds.

Second quarter run helps Warhawk Slow start plagues C-M boys in loss to North Mahaska girls pull away from Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo girls basketball team matched North Mahaska point-for-point for the first 11 minutes of a South Iowa Cedar League game Tuesday.

Senior Amy Russell banked in a 3-pointer to tie the game at 20-all with about 5 minutes to play in the second quarter, and Colfax-Mingo coach Larry Roberts like where his team was at.

Unfortunately for the Tigerhawks, North Mahaska countered the Russell trey with a 12-0 run, took away the home team’s momentum and cruised to a 66-38 road victory.

“I think part of it is that North Mahaska is a really good team,” said Roberts Troy Hyde/Daily News when asked what happened Colfax-Mingo junior McKeely Tjaden (15) shoots in a crowd of to trigger the 12-0 in the C-M | 4B

COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo boys basketball coach Nick Noring was unsure why his Tigerhawk squad lacked the energy it takes to win in the South Iowa Cedar League on Tuesday night.

The Tigerhawks did not practice over the weekend and had Monday night off, too, because weather closed the school during the day.

Still, Colfax-Mingo was a step slow during the early stages of its SICL game with North Mahaska, and the Tigerhawks played from behind the rest of the night in a 52-49 loss.

“It’s a head scratcher. I expect them to be ready to play, but we just weren’t,” Noring said.

“Mentally, we get ourselves in positions where we can’t counter. Physically, we don’t absorb the contact and finish inside.”

Vande Wall finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds, while freshman Regan Freland buried five 3-pointers and scored 15 points.

“We did a good job of mixing up the defenses between our pressing, man-to-man and zone defenses,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

“Offensively, we did a good job of moving the ball and identifying the open players.”

The Mustangs (10-3 overall, 9-1 in the HOIC) had 20 assists on 23 made field goals.

FAY E T T E V I L L E , Ark. (AP) — Arkansas coach Bret Bielema says on Twitter that the school has promoted former Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads to defensive coordinator.

The hiring was confirmed by a school spokesman.

Rhoads, who worked as the defensive backs coach last season for the Razorbacks, replaces Robb Smith, who was hired last week for the same position at Minnesota. Arkansas was 76th in the country in total defense last season, allowing 426.6 yards per game and 6.75 yards per play while finishing 7-6.

Rhoads, 49, was 3255 in seven seasons with the Cyclones before being fired following the 2015 season. He previously served as the defensive coordinator at Auburn, Pittsburgh and Iowa State.

St. Louis intent on improving, not chasing champion rival Cubs ST. LOUIS (AP) — A month before spring training, the St. Louis Cardinals already have plenty of motivation — they’re focused on returning to the playoffs, rather than trying to overtake the rival Chicago Cubs.

In fact, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak really wants to avoid any notion that the Cubs winning the World Series is the driving force behind the St. Louis push to improve after missing the postseason for the first time since 2010.

“I always feel like it’s sort of dangerous to simply chase your neighbors,” Mozeliak said.

“That phrase, ‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ can be dangerous ... I think the best strategy is try to build a club that you think has a chance to win your division, get to the postseason.”

While St. Louis might not say it’s directly chasing the Cubs, it certainly added a key component from its rival in the offseason with the signing of outfielder Dexter Fowler.

The 30-year-old, who had a career-best .393 on-base percentage last season and scored 84 runs in 125 games, brings with him an element of athleticism desperately needed by a Cardinals team that was last in the National League with 35 stolen bases.

He’s also brought with a renewed sense of optimism in St. Louis, where finishing 17 ½ games behind anyone — much less the Cubs — is never acceptable.

Six-time champs Djokovic, Williams post Australian Open wins MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The record will show that six-time Australian Open champions Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic each had straight-set wins.

It may seem straight-forward, but it was not routine.

Newly-engaged Williams, aiming for an Open-era record 23rd major title, and Djokovic, bidding to become the first man to win seven Australian titles, confronted former top10 players in the first round at Melbourne Park.

And so there was no chance for the No. 2-ranked players, in the recently unaccustomed position at the foot of the draw, to feel their way into the season’s first major.

Djokovic faced Fernando Verdasco, who beat Rafael Nadal in the first round last year and who had five match points in their last head-tohead encounter — only 10 days earlier.

Djokovic held off the Spanish lefthander in a 71-minute, momentum-swinging second set before winning 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-2 on Tuesday. The first and third sets were great, he said, but the second was “a gamble.”

“I’m very pleased with the first round, considering I had one of the toughest first-round draws, definitely considering his form,” Djokovic said. “He’s a quality player. He’s a big match, big-time player.”

The 33-year-old Verdasco peaked at No. 7 in the rankings in 2009, not long after he pushed eventual champion Nadal in five sets in one of the best and latest-finishing semifinals ever at the Australian Open.

“From one perspective it

was good that I got to have the very tough first-round match, because it made me prepare better and kind of approach the tournament with the right intensity, right from the first point,” Djokovic said.

Williams, on the comeback after a stint on the sidelines following a U.S. Open semifinal loss, took a 5-0 lead in the second set against Belinda Bencic.

But Bencic has been ranked in the top 10, and was seeded 12th in Melbourne last year.

She applied pressure on Williams, who made mistakes on key points — including a double-fault to give Bencic a break point, and another on her first match point — before recovering to win 6-4, 6-3.

Williams became engaged to Alexis Ohanian during the holiday break, and the Reddit co-founder was in the crowd at Rod Laver Arena. She has been asked repeatedly about her wedding plans since arriv-

65-1, Williams will play Lucie Safarova, who saved nine match points before beating Yanina Wickmayer 3-6, 7-6 (7), 6-1.

Nadal, also returning from a couple of months on the sidelines following the U.S. Open with an injured left wrist, has already improved on 2016.

“I’m happy to do an interview with you — last year, I didn’t have the chance!” Nadal said in his on-court interview after a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Florian Mayer.

As usual at Melbourne Park, the heat was a factor.

The thermostat reached almost 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) on a day when Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic beat Dustin Brown and No. 11 David Goffin beat 19-year-old qualifier Reilly Opelka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

“We did a good job taking care of the basketball offensively. We were able to come up with 20 offensive boards tonight,” Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “Hopefully, the guys will continue to work for position when a shot goes up and hurt our opponent on the boards.”

The Hawks finished with 38 rebounds. Jesse Van Wyk had a double-double for Lynnville-Sully with 11 rebounds and 12 points.

He also had four assists and two steals. Tanner Foster was the leading scorer in the game with 13 points and two steals.

“February I’ll start looking at the bigger picture of my life,” she said. “Right now, I’m just so focused that this is kind of all I can think about.”

Williams made a big statement, though, by walking into her news conference wearing a shirt with the word “Equality” emblazoned across the front.

It was still before midnight Monday in the United States, where the holiday in honor of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was nearly ending.

“It’s important to spread the message,” she said.

Asked if she was concerned about the future of equality in the United States, Williams declined to comment apart from saying it was “a concern for just everyone in general.”

“We just didn’t weather the storm tonight,” Sharp said as Newton dropped to 5-8 on the season. “To turn the corner? We need to get a signature win, and I’m confident this group will get one. I’m not sure we’ll get it in this three-game stretch against Indianola, Dallas Center-Grimes and Grinnell (all ranked teams), but it’s coming.”

Newton is 2-5 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The Cardinals start the second round at 6:15 p.m. Friday at home against Class 5A top-ranked and undefeated Indianola.

On Tuesday, Walters led the Cardinals with 14 points against Boone. Rausch added nine points, four rebounds and two assists. Horn controlled 10 rebounds and Shipley and five rebounds.

Jacobsen dished out two assists.

Boone (11-3) had four players score in double figures led by Caitlynnne Shadle with 16 points. Emma Rouse and Sandvig each scored 11 points and Laura Anderson had 10 points.

Young Hawkeyes suffering through growing pains IOWA CITY (AP) — Nearly every program is forced to start from scratch every once in a while.

Inexperienced Iowa is suffering through one of those seasons in 2016-17.

The departure of four key seniors has left Iowa with four freshmen starters whose talent is often overshadowed by their inconsistency. Never was that more evident than last week, when the Hawkeyes upset No. 21 Purdue 83-78 on Thursday and got outclassed on the road by Northwestern 89-54 three days later.

Iowa (11-8, 3-3 Big Ten) hosts No. 25 Maryland (16-2, 4-1) on Thursday. Which version of the Hawkeyes will show up is anyone’s guess — and it might be like that for the rest of the year.

“It’s the first time we’re all going through this, so we’re going to have our ups and downs like any young team will,” freshman point guard Jordan Bohannon said. “We just have to have that consistent mindset every day ... that’s the main thing.”

The four seniors who left after 2015-16 — Jarrod Uthoff, Adam Woodbury, Mike Gesell and Anthony Clemmons — were crucial in re-establishing Iowa as a legitimate Big Ten contender after years of mediocrity.

But all four of them were too valuable to cede much playing time to an underclassman, helping set the stage for seasons to follow.

As a result, the Hawkeyes have the youngest starting lineup in school history.

Senior Peter Jok has been exceptional this season, averaging a Big Ten-best 21.9 points per game and a career-high 6.2 rebounds.

But nearly every other con-

NEW YORK (AP) — Green Bay’s 34-31 win over Dallas was seen by an average of 48.5 million on Fox, the mostviewed NFL divisional playoff game ever.

The game Sunday had a 26.1 rating and 46 share, the network said Monday, the highest-rated NFC divisional game since 1997. The rating is the percentage of television households tuned to a program, and the share is the percentage watching a telecast among those homes with TVs on at the time.

Pittsburgh’s 18-16 victory over Kansas City, shifted to prime time

Sunday night because of bad weather, was seen by 37.4 million people on NBC and its digital platform, including 37.1 million on the network.

Atlanta’s 36-20 win over Seattle on Saturday received a 16.2/32 on Fox and was seen by an average of 28.7 million on Fox, down 10 percent from New England’s win over Kansas City on CBS in the comparable time period last year.

The Patriots’ 34-16 victory over Houston on Saturday night had an 18.2/31 on CBS, which said total viewers were not yet available.

tributor the Hawkeyes have is experiencing the rigors of the Big Ten for the first time.

Bohannon has the look of a four-year starter, averaging nearly five assists per game. But he’s also shooting just 35 percent from the floor. Freshman Tyler Cook (12.8 points, 5.2 rebounds per game) might be the most promising player in Iowa’s most recent class, but he and the Hawkeyes are still in the process of discovering what kind of player he’ll eventually become.

Forward Cordell Pemsl (9.3 points, 5.1 rebounds) has shown a knack for scoring in the paint.

C-M

Continued from Page 1B second quarter. “We tend to do positive things in spurts, but North Mahaska does it for long stretches.”

Junior McKeely Tjaden kept the Tigerhawks (3-10 overall, 3-8 in the SICL) in the game in the first quarter.

After North Mahaska went in front 12-4, Tjaden scored four straight buckets to tie the game. She scored on a putback, a drive to the bucket, buried a jumper and converted a bank shot during that stretch.

North Mahaska though countered with a 3-pointer to take a 15-12 lead after one quarter. Tjaden scored 12 points in the period but did not score again.

“Both teams played really hard, but one team was just better than the other team tonight,” Roberts said. “I am glad that we didn’t give up.”

The Tigerhawks stayed close early in the second quarter when Russell made a layup, senior Dakota Hostetter hit 1-of-2 from the free-throw line and junior Ries Wilson converted a basket inside the lane.

Russell’s 3-pointer moments later tied the game at 20-all, but North Mahaska’s full-court pressure forced the Tigerhawks into some costly turnovers and allowed the Warhawks to essentially put the game away.

North Mahaska (11-4, 10-3) led 3220 at halftime and then outscored the Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Amy Russell, left, drives past North Mahaska’s Cheyenne Shaw during the Tigerhawks’ 66-38 loss to the Warhawks on Tuesday. Russell scored 11 points for Colfax-Mingo in the loss.

Green Bay’s win over Dallas seen by average of 48.5M on Fox

But as with most freshmen, getting Pemsl to do so on a nightly basis has been a struggle.

Guard Isaiah Moss has potential, but he’s also feeling his way at this point.

A fifth freshman, post player Ryan Kriener, has recently worked his way into the rotation.

He scored 14 points Sunday and was perhaps the only bright spot for the Hawkeyes.

“He does have that versatility that you’re looking for. You couple that with the physicality that he plays with, you need that in this league,” coach Fran McCaffery said.

i​t’s headed,” Mozeliak said. “But I would also say lots of things went well up north last year, and certainly that would have to be expected again this year to necessarily repeat.”

Along with Fowler’s arrival, the Cardinals’ hopes for 2017 have been bolstered by the return of a healthy Lance Lynn. The right-hander missed last season after elbow surgery, a key reason why St. Louis’ NL-best 2.94 ERA in 2015 ballooned to 4.08 last season.

Lynn won 60 games for the Cardinals from 201215, and his return coincides with what’s expected to be a full season in the starting rotation from talented righty Alex Reyes. The 22-year-old struck out 52 batters in 46 innings last season while compiling a 1.57 ERA. All in all, Mozeliak is confident St. Louis can improve on last season’s 86 wins.

“I’ll tell you this, nobody in our clubhouse is conceding anything,” Mozeliak said. “No one is waving a white flag and saying, ‘We’re just playing for second.’ I think that type of thought process would just be crazy and, candidly, that’s why I think all of us are just excited to get this thing started.”

Tigerhawks 44-18 in the second half.

“When you have a letdown, a team like this can take advantage of that,” Roberts said. “Our effort was great the entire game. I am proud of how hard we played. We don’t like losing, but when you play with that kind of effort, it feels a little better.”

Russell finished with 11 points and four rebounds in the loss. Wilson and Hostetter each scored five points and grabbed six boards. Sophomore Payton Rhone scored five points, too.

The Tigerhawks made 17-of-44 from the floor. North Mahaska had a nine-point advantage at the foul line.

Three Warhawks scored in double figures, led by freshman Kassidi Steel’s 16 points.

It was the fourth straight win for North Mahaska.

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B no seniors were playing against a team which had multiple senior starters.

While Noring understands that, and feels like his Tigerhawk squad will be even better next season, the first-year coach wants them to feel like they can be good this season.

“Of course we can be great next year. But we need to still be thinking about this year,” Noring said. “Are we ready to break through the wall or are we just content at where we are at? We had a chance tonight against a .500 team, and we came out a step slow.”

The game was tied at 10-all after one quarter. North Mahaska (7-6 overall, 6-5 in the SICL) went in front by nine in the second quarter following a pair of triples by Jac Munson and another bucket from Brandt Fleener inside.

The Tigerhawks got within three at halftime after juniors Alex Lewis and Jonathan Jacobs each buried a trey in the closing seconds.

Jacobs had one of his best games of the season, finishing with 12 points and six assists.

“He was phenomenal tonight,” Noring said of Jacobs. “He delivered for us. Hopefully others start to feed off his energy.”

The Tigerhawks remained within reach in the third quarter even though

the Warhawks pushed their lead to six points.

Junior Jarod Nichols scored inside the lane and hit two free throws and then junior Reegan Van Dyke tied the game with a hoop that he was fouled on.

The Warhawks though used a 7-0 run to grab the momentum. Nichols scored on a putback, but the Tigerhawks (6-6, 6-5) still trailed by five after three quarters.

Nichols collected his sixth straight double-double with 21 points and 17 rebounds in the loss. Van Dyke added eight points and 11 rebounds.

North Mahaska, which has now won three in a row, scored the first two buckets of the fourth quarter to push its lead to nine points. A 7-0 got C-M back into the game, but North Mahaska answered every Tigerhawk punch with a punch of its own. Colfax-Mingo never got closer than three points the rest of the way.

IMMEDIATE OPENING

Do you know what your dreams mean? On the last day of Neptune’s retrograde it will be extremely lucky to leave a notebook and pen bedside.

When you awaken, jot down whatever you remember of your dreams. There is genius and insight in this, even if it doesn’t make sense at first.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 18). This year, when you’re happy, you’re ecstatic. You’ll do your best and give your all to the relationship that makes your life sing! Work improves in January, and you’ll add a new skill set to your arsenal.

March is your chance to trade out a tired aspect of your life for new purpose. Children

make you proud in May. Aries and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 43, 14, 3, 33 and 13.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll run into people you know in places you weren’t expecting to see them. This will present an interesting conundrum -- nothing you can’t handle, of course.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your job goes better when your loved ones have your back at home. If you’re distracted by domestic details and responsibilities, you’re not likely to put in your best performance.

Delegate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The ones who need you will really need you today. In fact, whether or not you want to be, you’ll be among the most needed. Well, they couldn’t have chosen a more qualified candidate!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

It’s hard to believe if you don’t really live there, but it’s absolutely true: Some places are populated with cheerful people. Cheerful! Really! Go looking. This is the existence you deserve.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It’s a little like you’re being forced to act like you’re having fun. Roll with it, and then don’t be surprised if all this acting becomes the truth. This is what Hollywood is built on!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You will let them all know what you think, but you’ll do it in such a cool way that they might assume that they’ve come up with it themselves.

They’re not trying to rip you off; they just really admire you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s the small things that will matter most to you today. To be able to count on someone, a secure relationship with a person who makes you laugh -- that’s a little slice of heaven.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

If you said yes to everything, your life would be chaos. But you can safely say yes to the thing that’s offered today. This one is too good to miss. Bonus:

Your new priorities will order themselves.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’ll attract good people. Givers. People who are naturally drawn to relate in a friendly, cheerful way. These are the ones you’ll keep coming back to. Commitments are a no-brainer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Why do you spend so much time in another person’s world? That’s easy: love. This is what people who love each other do. They try, really try, to understand each other.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your influence over others will be profound today. Your thought waves will affect the stranger passing on the street,

the clerk in the grocery store and the person picking up your mail, as well as those individuals in your inner circle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The wealthy American industrialist J. Paul Getty said that if you can actually count your money then you are not really a rich man. If this is true, you’ll cultivate a sense of prosperity in yourself by simply not counting.
