Lawmakers renew efforts to combat human trafficking Speaker highlights Newton schools as at-risk

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News DES MOINES — A leader in the fight against human trafficking in Iowa identified Newton High School as a place where this crime is likely occurring during an Iowa Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on Tuesday.

Teresa Downing-Matibag, executive director of Amesbased Network Against Human Trafficking, made the comment during her presentation to the committee, but later clarified she

used the high school as an example because one anonymous youth made the claim during a phone survey.

“They said through the drug deals at the high school they think that it (human trafficking) is likely happening in Newton High School,” she said. “When you think about it, though, we could say that regarding any high school.”

Downing-Matibag was one of five people involved with efforts to combat human trafficking who addressed the committee and a

standing-room only audience in a statehouse conference room.

She said human trafficking victims are among the most vulnerable of Iowa’s youth and include those who struggle with substance abuse, poverty, mental health or are among the LGBTQ population. One in every six runaway youth in Iowa are likely victims, she said. Meanwhile, of the estimated 10,000 homeless youth in Iowa, she said, more than 1,600 will likely be trafficked for sex.

A public meeting to discuss the secondary roads construction program for the next five years is set for 1 p.m.

Feb. 16 in the Board of Supervisors room at the Jasper Stutt County Courthouse.

At the meeting, Jasper County Engineer Russ Stutt and engineer assistant Pam Olson will present the five-year plan which begins with fiscal year 2017 and ends in 2021.

During the presentation, plans for upcoming bridges, roads, pavement marking projects and other road construction jobs across the county. Funding for these projects comes from federal aid, state-administered farm-to-market funding and the local budget.

“What we kind of call it is our wish list. This is what we would like to see get done,” Olson said. “A lot of it hinges on the dollars and what happens as far as priority.”

Projects from last years five year plan that will go

under contract this spring and summer include a new bridge on Highway T-12 over the North Skunk River, a bridge replacement on County Road F-17 over the North Sunk River west of Highway 14 and a hot mix asphalt overlay and resurfacing on Highway F-62, east of Sully. Also to go under contract is the longitudinal drain tile along Highway T-12 from Highway 6 to Highway 14 and along Highway F-36.

Olson said the engineer’s office would have a better idea of what will be on this year’s five-year plan in the coming weeks, specifics about roads and bridges are discussed and priorities are put into place.

In other business: • Benjamin Frahm was hired for the Grade III Skilled Labor position in Secondary Roads at a pay rate of $21.28 starting Feb. 8.

• A discussion of a professional services agreement for work at the Jasper County Annex Building with Shave-Hattery was tabled for a future meeting.

• Chris Herbold was named to the Jasper County Conservation Commission.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Newton Wellness Coalition and volunteers from the community packed the second floor gym to kick off the organization year and promote wellness in the community.

Strong turn out for Wellness kick off

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News More than 20 people, including school superintendent Bob Callaghan, came out for the Newton Wellness Coalition’s kick off event on Tuesday.

Callaghan, along with coalition members and community volunteers, exercised in the second floor gym during the junior varsity and varsity boys basketball games

at Newton High School and were treated to a barn burner with the varsity team bringing home the victory with clutch free throws in the final 10 seconds.

“We are happy with the turn out. It’s a great chance for us to remind people that we are in the community and promoting health and wellness.

We hope other people will join us in the effort in the coming year,” co-

alition member Nathan Unsworth said.

This is the third year for the kick off event which has seen themes including the 80s and local celebrities. This year the group was focused on wellness, packing the gym on the treadmills and ellipticals to burn calories while the boys on the court worked to get a victory.

Croson, the district’s food service supervisor, said there are more than 1,500 children on free or reduced-price lunch among the approximate 2,950 students enrolled in the district. That leads to a lot of paperwork and proper procedure-following, Croson said, so earning a commendation for that element isn’t easy.

Rose to speak on addiction recovery at Least of Saints

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To kick off 2016, Christ Rose Ministries is holding a speaking event at 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Least of Saints Church, 219 N. Second Ave. W. Chris Rose, founder, will speak about his life of addiction and how the church and God helped him back on a productive path.

“I was lost in a sea of addictions, but after I turned to God I discovered hope, I discovered Jesus,” Rose said. “One of my favorite things to say is, Jesus is real. He rescued me from a pit of destruction and set my feet on solid ground.”

Having overcome his addictions, Rose will speak to those who are struggling themselves or those who know or care about someone going through a

tough time.

“There are many people hurting in Newton and surrounding communities and after reading a recent article about the drunk driver hospitalizing one of our local pastors, I am convinced this serves as an example of what the abuse of alcohol can do, the devastation it causes and the effects is has on individuals, families and cities,” Rose said.

Rose invites those who are worried, tired, depressed, guilty, lost, hopeless or frustrated or who have a desire to do what is good but cannot carry it out to listen to his story about a rescued backslider and be encouraged about what life can still offer.

“I have never before experienced such peace, joy, security, love and protection as I do today,” Rose said. “I am truly free

of everything that marked me for destruction.”

Christ Rose Ministries was launched in March of 2014 with a vision to “go out and feed many.” A portion of the ministry is to share how the Lord delivered Rose from addictions to alcohol, drugs and many other destructive behaviors. Rose also uses music as a way to further his message and touch those who come to hear his story.

In the coming year, Christ Rose Ministries also hopes to continue working alongside ministries such as Discover Hope, Teen Challenge and the Least of Saints to offer new beginning for those who no longer want to return to the turmoil in their lives.

Synagogue visit: Pope denounces violence done in God’s name ROME (AP) — Pope Francis denounced all religiously inspired violence during a visit to Rome’s main synagogue Sunday, joining the oldest Jewish community in the diaspora in a sign of interfaith friendship at a time of Islamic extremist attacks around the globe.

During a visit marked by tight security and historic continuity, Francis also rejected all forms of anti-Semitism and called for “maximum vigilance” and early intervention to prevent another Holocaust.

Francis joined a standing ovation when Holocaust survivors, some wearing striped scarves reminiscent of their camp uniforms, were singled out for applause at the start of the ceremony. And he elicited

an ovation of his own when he paused in his remarks to acknowledge the survivors in the synagogue’s front row.

The visit comes amid a spate of Islamic extremist attacks in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere — violence which Francis has repeatedly condemned as anathema to religion, particularly given that Christians and religious minorities have often been the target.

“Violence of man against man is in contradiction to every religion that merits the name, in particular the three monotheistic religions,” Francis said, referring to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. “Every human being, as a creature of God, is our brother regardless of his origins or religious belief.”

His sentiments were shared by members of the Jewish community, who sought to hold up the visit as a sign of interfaith friendship in the face of Muslim extremism.

“Today, the sad novelty is that after two centuries of disasters produced by nationalism and ideologies, violence has come back and it is fed and justified by fanatic visions inspired by religion,” Rome’s chief rabbi, Riccardo Di Segni, told the pope. “A meeting of peace between different religious communities, as the one that is taking place today here in Rome, is a very strong sign against the invasion and abuse of religious violence.”

Francis’ visit is meant to continue the tradition of papal visits that began with

Among other things, the council document “Nostra Aetate” repudiated the centuries-old charge that Jews as a whole were responsible for the death of Christ.

Francis said the declaration amounted to a “’yes’ to the rediscovery of the of the Jewish roots of Christianity and a ‘no’ to every form of anti-Semitism and a condemnation of every insult, discrimination and persecution that is derived from it.”

Trafficking Continued from Page 1A Newton Superintendent Bob Callaghan said concerns about human trafficking at Newton High School are unfounded. No comments have been shared with school leaders or with the Newton Police Department, he said.

Callaghan said students, staff and the public are encouraged to report any concerns about Newton schools via the district’s anonymous tip line.

Michael Ferjak, the senior criminal investigator with the Iowa Department of Justice who is leading state efforts against human trafficking, spoke with Newton High students in November and is slated to return in April, Callaghan said.

“Our school staff and the Newton Police Department both work diligently to keep our students safe,” Callaghan said.

Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) said he’s helping with bi-partisan efforts to find solutions for victims while seeking justice.

“An expert human trafficking victims advocate singled out Newton as a town where teenagers are at risk,” Kelley said. “She cited a toxic combination of drug concerns as well as interstate access ... it’s time for our best efforts statewide and in Jasper County.”

The nearly two-hour meeting was led by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Sen. Steve Sodders (D-State Center) as well as Sen. Kevin Kinney (D-Oxford), who helped pass significant anti-trafficking legislation last session.

Kinney, a former lieutenant with the Johnson

The only other two findings were the placement of the Iowa anti-discrimination statement on letters, which was remedied while the reviewer was still on scene, and a ruling change on sharing tables.

“Four years ago, we brought in sharing tables at all of our K-throughsixth schools,” Croson said. “Sharing of non-perishable items like carrots was allowed. Four years ago, they approved our sharing of unopened milks on an ice blanket, but as of this review, they will no

County Sheriff ’s Office is serving his first term as a state senator, but also has a personal connection with human trafficking. Kinney investigated Iowa’s first state and federal human trafficking case among other high-profile cases.

“Seeing a 12-year-old who is forced into prostitution isn’t something you soon forget,” Kinney said.

Wes Breckenridge, a lieutenant of the Newton Police Department and member of Newton’s anti-trafficking committee, Newton Says No to Human Trafficking, said he was surprised to hear Newton High School come up during the discussion.

“My belief based on information we have is that Newton is no different than any other high school,” Breckenridge said. “Our school staff and our outstanding SRO

longer allow milk sharing.”

Croson said all Newton K-6 schools will continue to have sharing tables for non-perishable foods, managed at each principal’s discretion.

Croson said the reviewer’s recommendation for the milk issue is “offer versus serve” at all buildings. Thomas Jefferson and Berg elementaries were the only ones not using that plan.

“Offer versus serve means we have five components to a meal — meat or alternate, grain, fruit, vegetable and milk,” Croson said. “When a student comes through the line, they have to take at least three components, as long as one is a fruit or vegetable.”

The Iowa Department of Education outlines the criteria for free and reduced lunch in Iowa schools in 2015-16 based

(school resource officer) do a great job to combat (drugs) and to address those issues.”

He said there is no evidence to support human trafficking is occurring in local schools, but it’s a strong reminder to be diligent in the fight against the modern day slavery.

“It was great to see such a full house and how seriously legislators are taking human trafficking,” Breckenridge said. “It makes me proud of our social action committee in Newton ... and I hope we can build on, and improve on, already existing laws to make our community safer.”

Ferjak, who has often consulted the Newton group, also addressed the committee. He detailed community outreach efforts, law enforcement training and various other programs that have been established.

on household income.

For examples, students who have only one other person in their household and an income below $15,301 receive free meals; a household of four people must have an income of $44,863 or less to qualify for a reduced meals.

In compliance with a 2014 district financial audit, Croson has made some progress on the number of delinquent accounts. A collection agency was hired by the board to help, with modest results so far.

year, input from Iowans is sought.

“It’s time for the legislature to address this issue of human trafficking in a holistic sense. We need to increase the education of this crime,” Sodders said. “Further, we need to strengthen laws on those who prey on these people and help break the victims out of the bondage that they are in.”

Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) said it’s a problem he’s glad legislators are learning more about and looks forward to seeing what solutions are proposed following Tuesday’s meeting.

Iowa Chief Justice Mark Cady addressed human trafficking last week during his Condition of the Judiciary.

“We can no longer view human trafficking as a problem reserved for major cities in America. It exists as a dark underworld in many communities across Iowa and is associated with some of Iowa’s most iconic places and events,” Cady said. “There is no justice when children are abused and exploited. A prompt, comprehensive and coordinated effort is needed to identify victims of human trafficking and provide the services and protection they need.”

Legislation passed during last year’s session expanded efforts for public outreach, training programs for the general public, law enforcement agencies and public safety officials and made human trafficking a forcible felony in Iowa.

Bowie reminded us why we need art

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Jan. 20, 2016

As the passing of entertainers becomes more and more high-profile with the growth of digital media, there’s the pushback that we should be honoring military or other brave, noble causes mare than we honor celebrities. However the recent passing of David Bowie shows us an important concept that we should keep in mind.

Art is needed. One could debate whether some of Bowie’s work is art, especially during his younger years when he was sowing his oats and living like a young rock star. Bowie’s contributions to the music and performance art world, along with his ability to help us leave our minds and think about both social justice and escaping into fiction at the same time, and to me, that’s almost as important a role in society as news reporter or bridge architect.

Bowie showed us how to bring many worlds together — punk, pop, savage, civilized, frivolous, solution-oriented — all while looking and sounding incredibly

entertaining. There haven’t been many white men hanging out in North America in the past 50 years who have brought funk, soul, guitar rock and techno together like Bowie. He probably could have united country with gangster rap or Latin rhythms with Enya, if he were compelled to do so.

Hopefully, any of us who watched Bowie evolve and weave his way in and out of the limelight also realized the lessons we learn from eclectic, multi-talented people. From Bowie, we learn there are no needs to have bounds on who we are, and being kind not only to ourselves and others is as critical as having clean water or affordable housing.

Bowie had a fair amount of involvement with some amazing charities, such as 21st Century Leaders, which fosters fair-trade practices internationally. His personal artwork has been included with Whatever It Takes, a support organization that sells artwork to support 21st Century

Leaders.

Speaking of artwork, Bowie’s original pieces are for sale in a Detroit gallery for as much as $7,000. It seemed there’s nothing he couldn’t do; he might have been able to refute any claim that he had never manufactured an airplane by fashioning one out of an aluminum can on the spot.

While contemplating this week how Bowie had battled his 1970s demons seemingly as successfully as Elton John, and, in many ways, more successfully than Billy Joel, I wondered what value celebrities have in showing us how to live.

I also contemplated the lives of six U.S. servicemen killed in Afghanistan on Dec. 21 and wondered what they showed us.

I suppose those men showed us how to be brave and go forth in the face of danger, and it seems disrespectful to talk about the life of someone who didn’t make any of the sacrifices of being in the armed forces.

Why should we wonder about

the thoughts or troubles of a rock star, no matter how amazing their work? Because we all knew who he is and some of his life experiences were well-known. Yes, he lived the soft and easy way of American life soldiers die defending. But Bowie also knew all human emotions and lived a public life that allows us to connect with his triumphs and defeats.

He also wrote the anthems of generations. Even folks who don’t particular care for Bowie can recall where they were in life when “Changes” or “Let’s Dance” were released, as those were universally popular songs.

Bowie covered his own fears in a way we should remember, and wrote some of the simplest lines that we can pull out as life lessons on a daily basis. The Wallflowers covered one of Bowie’s bestknown choruses: “We could be heroes — just for one day.”

Declining revenue will make budget process difficult Last week, we began the second year of the 86th General Assembly with the House and Senate getting back to work.

tice Mark Cady during his Condition of the Judiciary address to the legislature, where he encouraged us to address the growing travesty of human trafficking.

A primary function of the Iowa Legislature is to appropriate the state’s tax revenues to carry out the functions of the state. This year is marked by declining revenue projections, which will make the budget process difficult. Built-in increases in funding for education, health care and property tax reform consume the bulk of the new money available in FY17. In the

weeks to come, I will work to bring you information on how the process is moving forward, acknowledging that many tough decisions will be made in sending a balanced budget to the governor.

Letters to the Editor

Another new ‘local’ book at our library John McNeer Newton Recently, Rod Slings presented a fascinating program to our local Rotary Club membership, following a similar presentation to the Newton Kiwanians. Rod, along with contributing authors Mike Van Durme, and Keith Byers have published a new book titled “Blood on the Leaves,” related to real hunting accident investigations and lessons in hunter safety.

These thee gentlemen have

over 75 years of law enforcement experience, and more than 60 years of investigating hunting accidents. They are leaders in training wild life offices around the world in these unique skills.

This 310 page book provides some great reading for individuals from most any walk of life.

Having finished reading this book I can now agree ... and have delivered a complimentary autographed copy by Rod Slings to our local library the true to life stories relate how minor departures from safety codes have unleashed devastating consequences on

both the victim and shooter.

Currently, only one copy is available at the Newton library, so you may find yourself on the waiting list but, anyone interested in unique stories of this nature may find the book a “good read.”

I finish this note with a sincere “plug” for our local library, which is one of the finest in the Midwest. Having had the privilege of serving on our library board of directors for 16 years, my admiration for a great library staff, and equally great contents and services continues.

“Power,” Henry Kissinger once told The New York Times, “is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”

Kissinger might amend t h a t statement today: Now, fame is power, and t h u s replaces p o w e r By Ben Shapiro as the ultimate aphrodisiac. In fact, fame isn’t just an aphrodisiac — it’s the ultimate nepenthe, a drug causing forgetfulness. The more famous our politicians are, the more we neglect their positions and character.

No wonder the most admired woman in America is criminal Hillary Clinton, the most admired man is criminal Barack Obama, and the second-most admired man is loudmouth Donald Trump.

We assume that fame inoculates our politicians for the same reason we check Yelp reviews: If there are tons of people who recommend a restaurant, they can’t all have been bribed. If tons of people like and support a politician, then, he or she must be worthwhile.

But this logic doesn’t always work. If several people stand on a street corner and simultaneously look up in the air for no reason, passersby will begin staring up into the air, looking for the rationale behind the mass gaze. Our human desire for informational shortcuts — our willingness to take another’s word for it — means that we end up looking like idiots when someone points out there’s nothing up there.

Our media-reinforcing cycle of fame is more like a street corner of skyward-looking

nincompoops than an aggregation of Yelp reviews. Our elites tell us that we ought to look at a given candidate in a given way; we then react to those elites by following their spotlight.

Donald Trump has received nearly half of all media coverage in the Republican race since he announced his campaign. That means that a lot of people are willing to overlook his flubs and his foibles — he’s a known face, and that fame protects him from comments that would hurt any other candidate.

The problem here isn’t Trump. It’s our entire culture of politics.

Barack Obama has made ubiquity an art form — it’s hard to imagine that someone who appears regularly with YouTube stars to talk about tampon taxes could actually be malignant. Joe Biden appears on “Parks and Recreation.”

Hillary Clinton dances with Ellen and makes awful jokes on “Saturday Night Live.” Our politicians know that exposure makes us comfortable with them.

In truth, we should never be comfortable with our politicians.

We should never trust them. Star worship of Ronald Reagan on the right leads establishment Republicans to idolize even his worst failures, like amnesty; star worship of Bill Clinton on the left leads Democrats to pooh-pooh his brutal treatment of women, and his wife’s enabling of that behavior. Our celebrities have become royals, and our politicians have become celebrities.

That means we crown ourselves a king or queen every four years. And America needs no kings and queens. We need unimportant, decent people who focus on how to make themselves unimportant in our lives.

Select boat owners need to verify hull ID number Iowa boat owners who received a letter alerting them that their boat hull identification number does not comply with U.S. Coast Guard regulations and they have to verify their HIN with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources in order to register their boat.

“This is no fault of the boat owner; they purchased a craft that had an incorrect HIN issued by the manufacturer. We want to help

them resolve this before their registration expires on April 30,” said Susan Stocker, boating law administrator for the Iowa DNR. The DNR has placed information regarding the process and to help answer questions online at www.iowadnr.gov/ Things-to-Do/Boating.

Stocker said the process is fairly simple; they need to either trace the HIN with a pencil or take a photo of it and

email it to HIN@dnr. iowa.gov, fax to 515725-8201 Attn: HIN Verification or mail to Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Attn: HIN Verification, 502 East Ninth Street, Des Moines, IA 503190034. Boat owners will need to verify the HIN prior to April 30 in order to renew their boat registration.

Part of the verification process includes boat owners signing an affidavit included in the

mailing that confirms they will permanently attach the new HIN to the boat (if a new HIN is provided) to comply with US Coast Guard regulations.

“If they no longer own the boat in question, they should let us know in the space provided on the affidavit,” Stocker said.

If boat owners have questions they should contact the Iowa DNR at HIN@dnr.iowa.gov or 515-725-8200.

Wife fears losing her family if she leaves them for lover

DEAR ABBY: I live in Israel, and for the past five years I’ve been having an affair with a great guy I’ll call Yuri.

I married very young to a man who is kind and very Orthodox. I love my children and grandchildren.

Yuri thinks we should leave our spouses and make a fresh start. (I’m not Orthodox and neither is he.) I am afraid if I do, I may lose my children and grandchildren. On the other hand, I can’t survive without Yuri.

I have always had lovers since I discovered how Orthodox my husband is — it’s a survival thing. I am going nuts.

What should I do? — IN TURMOIL IN ISRAEL DEAR IN TURMOIL: Consider VERY carefully what a new life with Yuri will cost you, because it’s going to be emotionally expensive. Right now you are part of a community, with standing in that community. If you leave it, all of that will be gone, and you will likely be shunned.

While running away with your lover may seem romantic, I would be very surprised if it didn’t spell the end of your relationship with your children and grandchildren. A decision like this should not be taken lightly; it needs to be made rationally. If you are “going nuts,” you are NOT thinking rationally, so please, discuss this with a counselor more familiar with Orthodox custom than I. DEAR ABBY: My ex sent our children letters from prison. I didn’t give them the letters because he was abusive. In one of them he asked our daughter to forgive him and not punish him forever. Abby, her father had abused her, and he’s asking for her to stop punishing HIM? She was going to kill herself because of what he did to her.

My daughter went through several years of intense counseling and still battles depression, so there is no way I’ll permit him to have contact with her or my other children. I have had no contact with him since we split up several years ago. My lawyer mailed the divorce papers and that was that.

Should I write him a letter and tell him what I think? — NOWHERE IN TEXAS DEAR NOWHERE: No, your lawyer should. One of the hallmarks of abusers is that they tend to blame their victims for their actions. The statement in your ex’s letter accusing your daughter of “punishing him” with her silence is troubling. She’s under no obligation to forgive her abuser.

When he is finally released from prison, one of the conditions may be that he must have no contact with minors. And if by then your children are no longer minors, one can only hope that they have become mature enough to protect themselves emotionally — and physically, if necessary — from their father.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 13, and a girl in my grade likes me — REALLY likes me, but I think I’m too young. All my friends say I should go for it and have her as a girlfriend, but I’m not sure I should. I need professional help. — NOT QUITE READY IN GEORGIA DEAR NOT QUITE READY: Determining when a person is “ready” for a romantic relationship isn’t something other people can or should decide. If you’re not sure you want a girlfriend right now, the fact that she likes you — REALLY likes you — isn’t as important as what YOU think and YOU feel. You appear to have a good head on your shoulders. Let it be your guide and don’t allow your well-meaning friends to push you into anything.

CenturyLink closes Sioux City call center

Iowa collision, patrol says

SIOUX CITY — The last 47 workers at the CenturyLink call center in Sioux City have lost their jobs with the center’s closing.

CenturyLink announced in October it would close the center, which at one time had more than 400 workers. The last day of operation was Friday.

CenturyLink spokeswoman Nancy DeVinay-McNeley said the closure is part of CenturyLink’s efforts to remain competitive by reducing costs and achieving operational efficiencies.

Plea deal withdrawn in man’s crash deaths case SAC CITY — A 19-year-old will stand trial in the August 2014 crash deaths of two teenage girls in western Iowa, now that prosecutors have withdrawn a plea offer.

Trevor Feauto was scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday on two felony counts of reckless vehicular homicide. He’d pleaded guilty.

But the county attorney says he withdrew the offer because relatives of the two girls say the deal doesn’t provide adequate justice.

Ash tree killer found in Des Moines, city officials say DES MOINES — City officials say an invasive insect that kills ash trees has been confirmed in Des Moines.

Small’s condo offer brings no takers Speedway president trying to keep track on people’s minds

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Promoting a race track that only has a few large on-site annual events is a year-round job.

Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small is constantly trying to keep the Newton race track on people’s minds, usually by promoting an off-season event. However, Small and marketing director Edward Williams noticed the high prices and scarcity of hotel rooms in the greater Des Moines area during the upcoming Iowa Caucuses, and decided to create a flyer and impromptu social-media campaign last week.

Small offered up his East Village condo for up to seven days and nights to one applicant willing to purchase all four of Small’s $219 Speedway grandstand tickets. However, after Monday evening’s deadline came and went, no one had applied for Small’s offer.

“It was 100 percent authentic,” Small said. “We were just reading about how hotel rooms might be going for $100 per night, and decided we could maybe both get some tickets to a fan and help out anyone coming to Des Moines.”

Many caucus-goers have likely already found accommodations during the Feb. 1 caucuses, and the crowd traveling to Des Moines for a po-

litical event may or may not be the same demographic seeking shorttrack season tickets. However, Small and the Speedway generated a fair amount of social media buzz with the promotion, and kept the track in conversations around central Iowa.

Small said he would have had to set up an airbed in his Speedway office in Newton if his condo was in use, but now it appears he’ll be in the usual cozy confines in the East Village during the caucuses.

“I live in a trailer at the track during the warmer months, but that’s all winterized and put up right now,”

Small said.

Small has remained active during the winter. A tryout for the Iowa Barnstormers arena football team in November led to not making the team, but Small said there is plenty of activity on the administrative side at the track.

The social-media effort is ongoing. The “fans with benefits” hashtag and Small’s portrayal as a mock candidate, the POTIS (President of The Iowa Speedway), will remain in place throughout the 2016 election cycle.

Small recently delivered his “State of the Oval Address,” titled “Four Turns

and Seven Laps to Go.” There is also minor maintenance work going on at the Speedway’s Newton Club, where indoor events are held year-round. Small said one of the Speedway’s longest-standing traditions, the live viewing of the Daytona 500, will be held in the Des Moines area this year.

The first weekend of the 2016 racing season is June 18-19.

“We’re looking forward to a great year,” Small said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Flying to cut his own 100-meter butterfly team record by 2.7-seconds is Isaak Webb of the Newton Cardinal Swim Team. Webb, who is from Pella, was one of four seniors swimming in their final home meet Tuesday at the Newton YMCA. Webb won the race in 58.25 seconds. Newton lowered two relay records, but lost the dual to Des Moines Roosevelt.

Three Cardinal swim records fall on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News On a cold and snowy evening, Newton Cardinal swimmers heated things up on Senior Night in the Newton YMCA pool. Four seniors swam their final home meet and three team records tumbled in a dual meet against visiting Des Moines Roosevelt.

Chet Adams and Zach Theis of Newton and Aaron King and Isaak Webb, both of Pella, competed at home for the final time Tuesday. The four seniors and their parents were recognized during a break in the action.

A double dual with Des Moines Roosevelt and Atlan-

tic was scheduled for Tuesday, but weather conditions prevented Atlantic from coming to Newton. Roosevelt’s larger team scored a 104.5-65.5 win over Newton. Roosevelt won the junior varsity competition, 75-20.

“It was a great meet. The kids did as well as or better than I thought they would tonight. Our sprints looked good and our relays were good,” Newton head coach Dave Hook said.

The varsity relays were good, setting two new team records.

The Cardinals opened with a team-record swim in the 200-meter medley relay race.

Junior Lucas Warner, Webb,

King and sophomore Jacob Knoll combined swimming the backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and freestyle, respectively, to a winning time of 1 minute 54.64 seconds.

The Cardinal foursome broke the previous mark of 1:55.42 set in 2013 by Webb, Landon King, Austin Bunker and Jake Lensing.

The same four powered to a first-place finish in the 200-meter freestyle relay Tuesday night. They shaved time off the old team mark of 1:43.76 to win in 1:43.61.

The previous record was set in 2014 by Webb, Jeffrey Fitzgerald, Warner and Lensing.

“It means a lot to break a record, which means all

the hard work is paying off,” Knoll said. “The first time on the record board is amazing.

I swam the final leg on the medley. I just thought ‘keep going.’ I felt good about how I swam tonight.”

King, who is a three-year Cardinal swimmer, said it was fun to finish his senior year’s final home meet by breaking two relay records. He said it was kind of emotional being the last home meet swimming for the team.

“I did well in the 100 butterfly, too,” King said. “We have a lot of team unity, and we support each other. Everyone is willing to work hard.”

Warner said breaking the records was a cool thing to do

and it was great to see your name up on the record board every time you walk into the pool area.

“We all knew we had the potential to do it, so we decided to get out and leave it all in the pool tonight,” Warner said.

“Although my turns always could use help, I felt good with my swims on the relays.”

Seeing his name up on the record board at the Newton YMCA swimming pool is something Webb thought would never be possible. He said when he competed at the pool as a youth swimmer, he thought it was “super cool” to see the names up on the wall.

Newton boys pull out victory late at home

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Never doubt the friendly confines of a home court.

Newton High’s Cardinal boys trailed by as many as 16 points in the third quarter and faced a ninepoint deficit with more than four minutes remaining in Tuesday’s non-conference game against Bondurant-Farrar.

“We were down 54-45 with 4:41 left in the game, and I took a timeout. We refocused, dug in on defense and rebounded the ball better down the stretch,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said. “We ran a set play and Garrett (Sturtz) hit a 3-pointer to get us going.”

Sopho m o r e guard Garrett Sturtz stepped to the freethrow line with seven seconds on the clock with the Sturtz score knotted at 60-all. Sturtz drained both foul shots to put the Cardinals in front of the visiting BlueJays.

A last-second shot by the Jays bounced off the rim. Newton snapped a two-game losing skid with a 62-60 win at home. Bondurant-Farrar (7-6) lost for the first time in three games.

Sturtz rang up three 3-pointers, went 4-for4 at the line and led the Cardinals with 25 points.

The sophomore has scored 55 points in Newton’s past two games. Against B-F, Sturtz handed out four assists and had five rebounds.

Speaking of rebounding, junior guard Connor Gholson got on track again offensively after going scoreless on Friday in a lost at Norwalk. Gholson went into Tuesday’s game three points shy of the No. 10 spot in NHS career scoring.

Gholson netted 22 points, hitting two 3-pointers and sinking 4-of-6 free throws. He became the BOYS | 4B

Cardinal girls fall to No. 14 Boone

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Defense is a strong suit on the basketball court this season for Newton High’s boys. Cardinal senior Drew Stout puts pressure on an opposing player in an earlier home game. Newton got stops in the second half as it rallied to beat visiting Bondurant-Farrar, 62-60, Tuesday in the NHS gym.

BOONE — Newton High’s Cardinal girls were as cold on the basketball court Tuesday as it was outside. They couldn’t afford a slow start against another ranked opponent.

The Cardinals fell behind 13-2 in the first quarter to host Boone.

The Class 4A 14th-ranked Toreadors kept the pressure up for a 27-7 halftime lead en route a 4827 win over Newton.

“We turned the ball over 18 times in the first half. We came out flat to start the game again,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said.

The Cardinals (7-7) have lost four of their last six games. They are on a three-game losing skid, and six of their seven losses have been to ranked teams.

Newton came out of halftime with a bit of a spark, outscoring Boone 11-9. Trailing 35-18 going

into the fourth quarter, the Cardinals weren’t able to make up any more ground. The Toreadors had a 14-9 scoring edge in the final eight minutes of play.

One of the big factors in the game came at the free-throw line. Boone cashed in on 24-of-36 foul shots while Newton shot just five free throws, hitting three, in the game.

Newton senior Hannah Rhoads, who had all the free throws, led the Cardinals with 13 points. She netted two 3-pointers.

Boone’s Madlyn Danner was 13-of-16 at the free-throw line on her way to 16 points. Claire Sandvig scored 16 points, hitting 8-of-10 foul shots.

Sharp said the Cardinals will continue to work hard and get better. They are working to find consistency in their game again.

Newton opened the season at 5-0 but has struggled in a stretch of ranked foes.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — Trailing by six heading to the fourth quarter, the Prairie City-Monroe girls basketball team rallied past Roland-Story with a big final period Tuesday night.

“I told the girls in the huddle going into the fourth quarter that we were down six but not out of the game,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

“We didn’t need to get them all back at once.

We needed to stay the course and do what we do.”

Offensive woes plague CMB in loss to Rams

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys’ basketball team couldn’t fight through a double-edged sword Tuesday night.

At one end of the sword was a squad who failed to get the ball inside the lane because of 21 turnovers. The other end featured a team who simply had an off shooting night.

It’s tough enough to win games with 21 miscues. It’s nearly impossible when you couple those turnovers with a 12-for-33 shooting performance.

The Raiders also missed eight free throws as Greene County rallied from an eightpoint first half deficit to win 45-34 during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

The Rams scored 10 straight points to turn the momentum, and CMB never recovered in losing its third straight game and falling to 2-10 on the season.

“We need to play inside out. We have had games this year where we’ve scored 3040 points in the post,” CMB coach Scott Brummel said.

“Tonight, that might have been enough with just that to win the game. We didn’t finish very well in there, but we didn’t get it in there enough either.”

The Raiders didn’t get the ball into the post enough mostly because of the turnovers. The turnovers starting to occur at a rapid rate when Greene County applied fullcourt pressure in the second quarter.

“We are not very good at being pressured. When they made that switch, it made things tougher on us,” Brummel said. “There was just too many deflections and too many steals. We turned it over too much.”

Both teams were missing standout players for the game.

Greene County did not have Trey Tucker due to the flu.

Tucker is currently third in the HOIC in scoring at 20 points per game.

CMB senior Brady Stover also missed the game. He is one of three Raiders averaging double-figure points. He’s also a guard who could have helped

cut down on the turnovers and find better passing lanes to the post.

“The most baffling thing to the coaches was our inability to finish inside the lane,” Brummel said. “Those guys have been solid all year, and I am not sure why things didn’t go well tonight.”

CMB led 7-5 after one quarter. It went up 15-7 following a 3-pointer from Creighton Caple, who started in place of Stover.

Greene County, which committed only four turnovers, used an 18-4 run to go up 25-19 early in the third quarter.

Hunter McWhirter and Hunter Gunderson both scored to trim the Rams’ lead to two.

Brady Kemp buried a 3-pointer to keep the deficit at two, but the Rams went into the fourth quarter with a

three-point advantage.

The Rams began the fourth like they did in the third. The 6-0 spurt to begin the final frame pushed the lead to nine and six free throws in the final two minutes helped the visitors wrap up the win.

Kemp finished with 13 points, three rebounds and three steals to lead the Raiders, who are now 2-8 in HOIC play. Kemp left the game in the fourth quarter after re-aggravating a wrist injury.

“Hopefully the wrist is OK,” Brummel said. “He’s been stable and consistent all year. He knows where the ball needs to go. We can usually count on him.”

Unfortunately for the Raiders, no one else scored more than Will Clapper’s six points.

Gunderson did grab seven rebounds, Clapper corralled six boards and CMB connected on 7-of-15 from the line.

Max Neese had 12 points to lead Greene County, which connected on 3-of-20 from long range. Trey Hinote added nine points and five rebounds.

The Raiders’ busy week continues at 7:30 p.m. Thursday when they host Class 1A No. 6 Colo-NESCO in non-conference play. They travel to North Polk at 6 p.m.

Raider grapplers fall twice in road double dual

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News IOWA FALLS — Slow starts in both duals Tuesday night ended up being too much to overcome on the road for the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter wrestling team.

The Raiders lost the first four matches against host Iowa Falls-Alden during a 5422 loss and then dropped the first six contested matches in a 51-18 loss to Roland-Story.

Evan Bianchi and Dylan Williams both went 2-0 on the night, but the wins were few far and between for the Raiders, who dropped to 3-15 in duals this season.

Roland-Story improved to 19-5 on the year after its 4822 win over the Cadets.

Freshman Caleb Fullerton got the first win for CMB against Iowa Falls-Alden in the opening dual. He defeated Darin Lemke by an 8-0 major decision at 126 pounds.

The Cadets though rolled off four straight wins to lock up the dual. Bianchi pinned Owen Kinnetz in 57 seconds to give CMB six points.

The final two wins for the Raiders came from Charles Robertson and Williams, who both won by fall at 195 and 220, respectively.

The Cadets won four matches by fall and took four forfeits in the win.

Roland-Story jumped out to a 33-0 lead over CMB in the Raiders’ final dual of the

Williams won by forfeit at 220 and Archer McFadden (18-7) ended the dual with a win by fall oer MacKinley Harris.

Robertson is 22-2 on the year after he lost by fall to Roland-Story’s Tanner Stille.

Lourens’ big night propels Tigerhawk boys to ninth victory

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NEW SHARON — A career night from senior Colin Lourens helped the Colfax-Mingo boys basketball team to another win in South Iowa Cedar League play Tuesday night.

Lourens scored a career-high 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds during the Tigerhawks’ 61-51 victory over North Mahaska.

Colfax-Mingo led 23-20 at halftime and could never fully put the Warhawks away, but a few defensive stops in the fourth quarter helped propel the visitors to the conference victory.

“We could never really break away,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said. “We led the entire game, but the margin was never enough to get comfortable. Give credit to North Mahaska. They gave great effort and defended tough.

“We got some stops in the fourth and were able to hold them off despite subpar freethrow shooting.”

Lourens scored 18 of his 29 in the second half. Blake Summy also had 10 points, while Jacob Lietz and Jared Myers scored eight. Jarod Nichols grabbed nine rebounds and blocked four shots. Myers corralled six boards and dished out three assists.

Colfax-Mingo was 10-of-22 from the line, while North Mahaska was 14-of-19.

“Colin had a tremendous second half,” Borts said. “Everyone who played contributed in different ways though. It was great to get the road win, but we can play much better and will need to Thursday against Grand View Christian.”

The win was Colfax-Mingo’s sixth in seven games. The Tigerhawks are now 9-4 overall and 8-4 in SICL play.

North Mahaska has lost five of six to drop its record to 4-9 overall and 4-8 in league play.

Brandt Fleener had 18 points to lead North Mahaska.

The Tigerhawks host Grand View Christian at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday.

Joe Gibbs Racing makes pair of crew chief changes CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Joe Gibbs Racing capped 2015 with its first Sprint Cup championship in a decade. Then the team made some major changes to one of the strongest organizations in NASCAR. Kyle Busch won his first Cup title, the first for manufacturer Toyota and the first for JGR since Tony Stewart’s 2005 crown.

Behind the scenes, though, personnel changes were being made even though JGR put all four of its drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Dave Rogers was moved from crew chief for Denny Hamlin to crew chief for Carl Edwards, while Mike Wheeler was promoted from the Xfinity Series to replace Rogers. Busch and Matt Kenseth’s teams were left intact.

Hamlin said the move was precipitated by a long-term plan to get Wheeler crew chief experience and then reunite him with the No. 11 team. Wheeler was an engineer for Hamlin’s team for 10 years before he went to the Xfinity Series last year to crew chief.

“I was pretty happy with Dave Rogers, to be honest with you, but ultimately we’ve had a plan for many, many years to get me and Wheels together,” Hamlin said Tuesday.

“That started with him moving to the Xfinity Series. So we knew when he moved there, he was eventually going to make it

back to the Cup Series and when he was going to move up, I needed to make myself available for him.

“He can’t move up and I loan him to Carl for a year and then take him back. It just doesn’t work that way. You’ve got to make the move the way we did it, and I think it works out best for everyone. Everyone got who they want right now.”

JGR drivers combined to win 15 of 36 races last season and went into the Chase as the heavy favorites to win the title. Only Busch and Edwards advanced to the third round of the playoffs, though, and Busch moved on to the championship race.

Almost immediately after his victory there were rumblings that changes were coming at JGR. The jockeying of jobs led to the departure of Darian Grubb, who had come narrowly close to winning the championship with Hamlin in 2014 and then led Edwards to a pair of wins in their only season together.

Once he’d been replaced as crew chief, Grubb left for the role of vehicle production director at Hendrick Motorsports.

Grubb has indicated he was told when the Chase began that he would be replaced — a similar scenario to 2011 when Stewart told him he wouldn’t be back as crew chief, though the two still went on to win the title.

Edwards praised Grubb for

being professional through the end of the season.

“Absolutely nothing went wrong. When we looked at everything toward the end of the season, I felt like two things: No. 1, I’m really proud of how Darian and I finished the season. I thought we performed very well,” Edwards said. “We step back and look at it, it just seemed Dave was a natural fit for me, and the way everything shook out with all the changes, all the crew chiefs and drivers, it just seemed like the right thing to do.”

Although he’s yet to work with Rogers, a recent snowmobile trip to Vermont as a team building exercise has given Edwards hope that he’s got the right crew chief.

“Dave really believes in getting the most out of each person and understanding each person and the competitiveness and what drives them,” Edwards said. “He wants to win this championship, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to put everyone on the same page.”

Hamlin, meanwhile, enters the year with his third crew chief in three seasons but zero concerns.

“There’s no doubt this is the last crew chief I’m working with for the rest of my career,” Hamlin said of Wheeler. “We’ve worked together for 12 years and I don’t see why in the next 12 years that would change.”

Tigerhawk lose three in road quadrangular

Carlson Tuesd a y , the Tigerhawks faced three schools in all three classes and each dual had similar results.

Unfortunately, a few too many forfeits kept the Tigerhawks out of the win column as Colfax-Mingo lost 36-24 to North Polk, 38-24 to Ogden and 48-20 to Pella during a quadrangular at North Polk High School.

Joseph Carolus went 3-0 on the night, while Colton Lourens, Ty Carlson and Garrett Chapman all went 2-1 for the Tigerhawks.

Against North Polk, Colfax-Mingo was 5-4 in contested matches, but two forfeits kept the Comets in front by double-digits.

North Polk led 30-8 early before holding off a late surge from the Tigerhawks.

North Polk recorded four pins in the win.

All four wins against Ogden came by way of forfeit. The Tigerhawks led 18-0 before Ogden rallied.

The Bulldogs were given two forfeits and earned three pins in the victory.

Carolus (126), Adam Teed (132), Jordan Lescaleet (138) and Chapman (285) all took forfeits. Colfax-Mingo was 0-5 in contested matches. Chapman is 19-11 on the season.

The Tigerhawks were 4-5 in contested matches against 3A Pella, but all five wins for the Dutch were by fall. Pella also took three forfeits.

Pella jumped out to

a 36-0 lead before Lourens (18-10) put the Tigerhawks on the board with a pin at 182. Ben Mead also won by decision at 220 to close the gap. Carlson (25-11) and Carolus (4-2) ended the dual with wins by technical fall and pin, respectively.

Tulsa police investigating case of Stewart, heckler TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Police are investigating after an off-duty officer heckled NASCAR star Tony Stewart and was confronted by the driver.

The confrontation happened Friday night at the weeklong Chili Bowl dirt-track racing event at the Tulsa Expo Center.

The heckler was Cpl. Kyle Hess with the sheriff ’s office, the Tulsa County Sheriff ’s Office said. Sheriff ’s Deputy Justin Green said the investigation will finish after the weekend and his office is expected to release a statement then.

Cellphone videos from fans posted online shortly afterward show Stewart and the fan locking hands and engaging in heated conversation. The videos show Stewart going into the stands. Hess fell backward after a security guard stepped between the two, though Stewart continued to talk to a seated Hess.

Green said that af-

ter looking at the video he doubts charges will be filed against the 44-year-old driver or Hess.

“Of course, there may be other details that are still out there other than that video,” he said.

Stewart works on track preparation during the weeklong event, which he won as a driver in 2002 and 2007. The three-time NASCAR champion, who will retire from NASCAR following the 2016 season, couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.

Stewart was 25th in the standings last season and failed to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for a third consecutive year.

He missed a third of the 2013 season after breaking his leg in a sprint car crash. In 2014, he struck and killed a racer, Kevin Ward Jr., who had left his car during the race in New York. Stewart avoided criminal charges but faces a civil suit from Ward’s family.

Lynnville-Sully squads defeat visiting BGM

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawk boys set the tone from the opening tip at home Tuesday against the BGM Bears. The Hawks pushed out to a 22-4 lead and never looked back in a South Iowa Cedar League West contest, winning 74-39.

Lynnville-Sully’s Class 1A 10th-ranked girls had a slower start Tuesday. They led the BGM girls, 10-7, after one quarter then caught fire for a 54-31 victory in SICL West play.

“We didn’t come ready to play to start the game,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach Jerry Hulsing said. “But once we started to play our game, we were able to cause some turnovers. We ran our offense better from the second quarter on and were able to get some good looks at the basket.”

Reds retiring Rose’s No.14, inducting him into team HOF CINCINNATI (AP) — Pete Rose is getting a hall of fame induction — in the Cincinnati Reds’ team hall during a weekend of honors this summer in his hometown — that will include retiring his No. 14.

The Reds’ announcement Tuesday came after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred rejected Rose’s application for reinstatement to baseball last month.

Manfred concluded that baseball’s career hits leader hasn’t shown evidence of “a reconfigured life” and continued to gamble, even while seeking to end the lifetime ban imposed in 1989 for betting on numerous Reds games while playing for and managing the team.

Reds’ chief executive Bob Castellini said Manfred approved the plans to honor the 74-year-old Rose. The June 24-26 events also will feature a 40-year reunion of the 1976 world champion Reds, on-field ceremonies and a team hall of fame banquet in which Rose will be awarded the red sports coat its members wear.

“This is an honor, that you can’t just believe how you feel,” Rose said at a news conference, noting that he grew up a Reds fan and was born a few miles from the Great American Ball Park where he will be honored. He broke into baseball as a Red, played most of his career with them, and also managed the team.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991 adopted a rule that keeps anyone on the permanently ineligible list off the ballot. Manfred said last month that his decision to continue the MLB ban was separate from any determination on National Hall eligibility. He said while Rose remains banned from working for any major league team or minor league affiliate, he could make ceremonial appearances with the commissioner’s approval.

Rose has rejoined his teammates from the 197576 world champions in recent years in on-field reunions and other ceremonies in Cincinnati.

“The guys came ready to play tonight. We were able to create a gap in the first quarter,” Hawk boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “I thought we did a nice job of moving the basketball side to side and inside out. We were also able to create an advantage on the boards.”

After a 22-4 opening quarter surge, the Hawk boys stayed on course for a 39-16 halftime lead. They outscored the Bears, 21-11, in the third quarter and 14-12 in the final eight minutes of play.

G h o l s o n passed Tom Bowie, who had 633 points from 1968-70.

Gholson “We started slow tonight.

As I’ve said all along, we’re a work in progress and part of it is learning how to compete at the high level we’ve been competing at and handling taking a couple of hard shots like we had last week,” Liley said.

“Bondurant-Farrar came in well prepared and well coached for us tonight. That means teams are respecting Newton basketball and what we’ve been doing this season.”

Newton led 9-6 at the end of the first quarter. The Jays surged ahead on a 23-11 run in the second period to claim a 29-20 lead at the break.

Liley said he took a timeout in the third quarter when the Cardinals fell behind by 16 points. He said he wanted to get the Cardinals under control and focused on getting stops. He said Bondurant-Farrar had outrebounded Newton by 10 in the first half.

“That’s not the kind of basketball we’ve been playing this season. We have been rebounding the ball well. We got stops and worked back into the game,” Liley said.

“We knew Bondurant-Farrar was aggressive to the basket to draw fouls. Part of our defensive game is to stand in there and take charging fouls — we took six of them tonight.”

The timeout came after a Cardinal 3-pointer had cut the deficit to 13 points. By the end of the third period, Newton held a 45-44 lead.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Marcelina Marvelli heads the other way on a fastbreak opportunity for Newton’s junior varsity in a game a home earlier this season. The Cardinal girls’ JV defeated host Boone, 41-15, Tuesday.

“But they charged ahead of us again in the fourth quarter, getting up by nine. Our kids responded well after I took the timeout at that point, and we were able to win the game,” Liley said.

Bondurant-Farrar went to the foul line 24 times and hit 15 shots. Newton was 8-of10 at the free-throw line. The Cardinals drained six 3-pointers to the Jays’ three. Bondurant-Farrar had a 30-14 edge in rebounding.

Payton Duit lead the BlueJays with 21 points, sinking 7-of-11 free throw attempts.

Dylon Storey added 15 points.

Newton won the junior varsity game, 48-42. Grayson Graham scored 20 points, which included four 3-pointers and had four steals. Trey Vanderlaan and Josh Gulling each had 10 points.

Vanderlaan and Justin Fischer had five rebounds apiece.

De’Andre Roush and Vanderlaan had three assists each.

Newton’s Cole Webster hit six 3-pointers on his way to scoring 30 points in the freshman game. Newton lost 44-36.

Newton (8-4) steps back into Little Hawkeye Conference play at home Friday when Pella Christian comes into the NHS gym. In December, the Cardinals lost 75-63 at Pella Christian. The game tips off at 7:30 p.m.

NASCAR expands Chase format to other two national series CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR is expanding its Chase format to include its feeder series, meaning the champions from the Xfinity and Truck Series will now be crowned in a four-driver shootout at the season finale.

The format announced Tuesday by NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France mostly mirrors the playoff-style setup used to determine the Sprint Cup champion the last two years. That system has 16 drivers race through three rounds of eliminations to establish a field of four in which the highest finisher in the finale wins the championship.

The Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series will use a seven-race Chase to decide their champions. The Cup series uses a 10-race format.

All three series will crown a champ at Homestead-Miami Speedway. However, all three will begin at different tracks: Chicago (Sprint Cup), Kentucky (Xfinity) and New Hampshire (Trucks).

France said the change will prepare the sport’s young drivers for the challenges of winning a championship at the Sprint Cup level.

“I think it’s important that they understand how difficult it’s going to be when they get

to the next level,” France said.

“Certainly, it makes it more exciting for our fans. Fans love elimination style and emphasis on wins. I think for the drivers, I think it’s important to get conditioned to what it’s going to take . to handle the next level.”

There will be 12 drivers eligible for the Xfinity Chase, which will then be whittled to eight drivers and conclude with a final four championship race at Homestead. In Trucks, the format is eight drivers cut down to six and then a final four at Homestead.

NASCAR said the 16 Sprint Cup drivers who qualified for last year’s Chase will not be eligible to compete in the lower-tier championship races. That eliminates Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano — drivers who often moonlight in at least the Xfinity Series — from participating in the season finale.

Other changes announced for the two lower series Tuesday include: — A caution clock for the Truck Series. The clock will be set to 20 minutes and triggered at the start of each green-flag run. When the clock reaches zero, the caution flag will be displayed.

The clock will be restarted when the green flag reappears.

File Photo The Chase is on for NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers along with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers in 2016. NASCAR announced the changes Tuesday. Both series run at Iowa Speedway in 2016.

— In the Xfinity Series, the four “Dash 4 Cash” races will include two heat races and a main event. Results of the heat races will set the starting field for the main. The fields for the heat races will be set via qualifying. Those races are at Bristol, Richmond, Dover

File Photo NASCAR announced changes for the 2016 season of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, which races at Iowa Speedway, including a caution clock.

Mustangs

Continued from Page 2B The first option to Vos was unsuccessful, but Stafford caught the ball in the corner and was fouled after driving the ball hard to the bucket.

Stafford made the first free throw to give the Mustangs a

lead, but Roland-Story (7-8, 6-5) called timeout with 3.3 seconds on the clock to set up a potential game-winner.

The Norse’s final attempt from 3-point range was contested well by Stafford and the ball came up short, barely touching iron on the way down.

“It doesn’t look like it in

the box score, but our offense was much improved tonight,” Lindsay said.

“It looked the best it has looked all year, even though the shots didn’t go in. The tempo was great.”

Junior Kayla Jennings had six points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals in the win, while junior Lexi Tim-

of its contract as title sponsor of NASCAR’s top series, but France was confident a replacement will be found for 2017.

— All Sprint Cup teams will be required to use digital dashboards beginning this year. “We’re going to embrace technology and innovation,” said France. “We don’t want to break the bank for the track operators, the team owners, or other stakeholders, but we’re going to need to figure it out as we go along.”

— NASCAR is committed to a low-downforce rules package that will be used everywhere this season except Daytona and Talladega. NASCAR experimented with several different packages before settling on one that everyone hopes will improve passing opportunities.

— International Speedway Corp. is eyeing Phoenix and Richmond as the next two tracks in need of capital improvements.

Meanwhile, France said he is so optimistic about the upcoming season that rain is NASCAR’s most pressing concern. Two races last year were postponed a day, while several others had lengthy weather delays. The start of the season finale was delayed, and the event at Phoenix that decided the championship field was called before its completion, denying drivers a chance to race their way into the finale.

“There is no pressing thing that I would like to see get resolved. We have really worked at things that were out in front of us that we thought we could improve on in the industry,” he said. “But we can’t do anything about the rain, other than we can probably add some more Air Titans (jet dryers) over time to speed it up, but hopefully we’ll get a little break on that in 2016.”

Others topics covered Tuesday: — France said he is “very optimistic” that NASCAR and Sprint Cup teams will come to an agreement on a charter system that will give owners more economic security.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 20). The practical efforts you make to feel more secure down deep in your soul will pay off handsomely throughout the year. In March, however, your main focus becomes more whimsical. It will be increasingly important to exercise your imagination, and then put

money and time behind that.

Confessions of love in May. Leo and Scorpio adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 2, 20, 44, 18 and 5.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your feelings matter to someone but not to everyone. So when they do exactly as they please, regardless of how you might feel about it, you’ll waste no time lamenting and instead will focus on planning your next power move.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You are in a quiet mood, but that won’t keep you from drawing attention. In fact, there will be great deal of intrigue

CNC Programmer/mold maker I Duties include, but not limited to: • CNC PROGRAMMING • CNC MACHINE/PART SETUP • MANUAL MACHINING • MOLD POLISHING Good mechanical aptitude, ability to read drawings/ instructions, knowledge of machining processes, proper use of precision equipment, ability to work with other team members.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Just as soon as you declare the thing you are certain of, you will cease to be so. That only proves that you’re open-minded and you’re growing. Your association with a Capricorn will heal you both.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

While others strive for a prize, you crave the sensation of winning and need no other incentive to try your hardest and work your best. Because of this, you’ll get the prize and more.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll be partnering up. The kindhearted, fun partner will

be available, but think twice before you pick this one, as the task at hand may be better suited to a partner who could double as a bulldog.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The people who ask for help when they don’t really need it are wearing out the potential donors to worthier causes.

That bothers you, as will all instances of greed and selfcenteredness around you. Be the example they can follow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Recent (overly) exciting events could have you craving a drama-free existence. The part of you that thought this would be glamorous is starting to get wise. Seek the company of grounded people, including

earth signs.

The day will come on rapid fire and you can totally stay ahead of it -- that is, if you give up thinking (or at least over-thinking.) Yes, the intellect will only slow you down. Turn on the intuition and start surfing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Are you feeling suddenly smarter, lighter, freer? That’s because a problem you’ve been hanging on to in the very corner of your psyche is now a nonissue. It basically flew away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Because you love so many people, there is a levity to your affection. You make it easy to enter and exit your presence,

which makes them feel free and happy to visit you often.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You communicate with your presence. The thought you put into matters of presentation, including sartorial and environmental choices, will make a remarkable difference in the outcome.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

While you may hit low pockets of sadness and less-than-optimum moods, there are others in your midst at the very nadir of their suffering. Hearing a small piece of someone else’s troubles will free you from your own.

Third-quarter surge pushes CMB past Greene County

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Opponents don’t see a lot of full-court pressure from Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s girls basketball team.

So when the Raiders do decide to apply a bit more pressure, it can often times throw off their opposition.

That may have been what happened Tuesday night during a Heart of Iowa Conference game with Greene County.

Tied at 16 through two quarters, CMB coach Jamie Zabel dialed up a press that helped the Raiders grab an advantage and the home team never looked back in a 45-34 victory.

Senior Carter Larson scored 10 of 14 points in the deciding third quarter that saw CMB outscore the Rams 18-6. The Raiders were outscored by a point in the other three quarters.

“The press gave them fits,” Zabel said. “We needed a lift after a sluggish first half. We don’t press a lot so when we do, I think it throws teams off a bit.”

Mikayla Eslinger gave CMB a lead it wouldn’t give up when she scored inside the lane on the first possession of the second half.

Kathleen Baldwin and Sydney Ziesman both got steals and finished at the other end to put the Raiders up six a few minutes into the second half.

Larson’s first bucket in the quarter was a 3-pointer that made it 25-20. She finished the frame with eight straight points and gave the Raiders a 34-22 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The final two baskets by Larson came directly off turnovers from the press. One of those was another 3-pointer.

“We needed the points and the energy at that point,” Larson said.

“If we press like that against any team, we’ll be all right. It felt good to get into the win column.”

The win ended the Raiders’ eight-game losing streak.

Greene County has lost 10 straight games.

Swim Continued from Page 1B “I never thought I’d swim for the Newton team in high school, but three years ago the opportunity came up,” Webb said of the swimming sharing agreement between Newton High and Pella High. “The fact I can walk into the pool and see my name up there is humbling. I feel blessed I was given the talent to swim and the opportunity to swim here at Newton.”

Webb’s name is up on the Cardinal boys’ record board 15 times between the records for yards and for meters.

He lowered his own team record (1:00.97) in winning the 100-meter butterfly race Tuesday in 58.25 seconds. King was second in 1:04.04.

Roosevelt’s Roughriders won seven of the 11 varsity events.

The other event victory for Newton came in the 100 freestyle with Warner winning in 56.95 seconds. Freshman Adam Hunter took fifth in 1:05.41.

Warner placed second in the 100 backstroke in 1:06.46, and Knoll was fourth in 1:13.62.

Junior Paul Maharry finished second in the 100 breaststroke in 1:22.89, and Theis was fourth in 1:27.57.

Theis, Maharry, Webb and junior Logan Heisdorffer combined for second in the 400 freestyle relay in 4:20.73.

“We were all excited to have one last fun meet before getting into the conference meet and the competitions for state,” Webb said. “We just put ourselves out there, went for the records and had a fun final home meet.”

the Raiders 12-11 in the final quarter, but CMB made enough free throws to keep the Rams at arm’s length.

The Raiders (2-11 overall, 1-10 in HOIC) were 10-of20 from the line in the game.

They missed their first four shots from the foul line in the fourth quarter, but Ziesman and Eslinger each went 4-for4 in the final 1:30 to seal the

Heisdorffer swam third in the 50 freestyle in 27.74 seconds and Knoll was fourth in 28.03. King finished third in the 200 freestyle race in 2:14.40, and Hunter was fourth in 2:21.84. Heisdorffer took third in the 400 freestyle in 5:14.14 followed by freshman Deklan Lewis in fifth at 5:34.26.

Theis claimed fourth in the 200 individual medley in 2:50.21. Maharry placed fifth in 2:54.25.

“It’s very emotional knowing it was my last time in this pool for competition in my high school career,” Theis said. “I tried to do my best and get personal bests — I did pretty well tonight. We did well as a team. We’re a tight-knit team and always encouraging each other.”

The 200 medley relay team of Lewis, Theis, freshman Mason Lee and Heisdorffer was fifth in 2:16.17.

Lee, Lewis, Heisdorffer and Hunter combined for fifth place in the 200 freestyle relay in 2:01.54. Adams, Lee, sophomore Grant Hamand and Lewis finished fourth in the 400 freestyle relay in 5:15.06.

“This was my second season of swimming and I’m going to miss it,” Adams said. “I swam well tonight in my last home meet. I really enjoy the team-building aspect of the sport and the friendships I’ve made with kids from other places.”

In junior varsity races, the foursome of Adams, Hamand, Hunter and junior Zach Bayne was second in 2:41.

Adams and Bayne went fourth and fifth in the 50 freestyle in 32.50 and 34.30, respectively.

victory.

“That was huge. That’s what free throws are about,” Zabel said. “We could have iced the game a heck of a lot sooner than we did, but to fight through it, play defense and rebound and get ourselves back on the line to finish it out was big for us.”

Larson finished with 14 points and five rebounds. She

picked up two quick fouls in the first quarter, but Zabel let her play through it.

“We know she can do that.

It’s usually a matter of her staying out of foul trouble and staying on the floor,” Zabel said. “She had two quick fouls tonight, but I let her play through them, and she did a nice job of not picking up too many more the rest of the way.”

Eslinger had 12 points and nine rebounds, while ZIesman also reached double-figures with 11. Ziesman grabbed a team-high seven rebounds and had five steals.

Senior Bridget Hurley’s lone bucket was a 3-pointer that gave CMB a 13-point advantage early in the fourth.

Hurley did have seven boards, five assists and two blocks.

“It was nice to get a win. It could have been a little higher win. We missed about 12 layups in the first half,” Zabel said. “We were able to get the ball inside and the posts got it done in the second half.”

Sunny Mobley, Laurin Lyons and Kenna Marquardt all scored seven points to lead Greene County, which dropped to 2-12 overall and 2-8 in HOIC play.

The Raiders’ busy week continues at 6 p.m. Thursday when they host Colo-NESCO in non-conference play.

They travel to North Polk at 6 p.m. Friday.
