NCSD Board to review Berg construction, discuss Iowa School Report Card

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News

File Photo Iowa State Sen. Chaz Allen, D-Newton, meets with constituents at a community forum at the Colfax Senior Citizen’s Center in December. Amid growing speculation, the 46-year-old first-term senator announced Thursday he would not be seeking the Democratic nomination for Iowa governor in 2018, but Allen will run for a second term to the Iowa Senate in District 15.

Longtime resident, local artist collaborate to create Newton-inspired coloring book Coloring books feature landmarks, historical houses

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A longtime resident and a local artist recently produced a coloring book intended to encourage the Newton community to learn about and preserve the town’s history and architecture.

Mary Jo Niskin, a commissioner of the Newton Historic Preservation Com-

mission, generated the idea after reading a Time magazine article about adult coloring books, which have been a trending hobby. An idea quickly turned into reality after Niskin’s friend, Jaci Thomasson, took on the design project.

Niskin, 89, is a fourth generation Newton resident who returned to the area in 2000 with a mission to pre-

serve and live in her family’s home on First Avenue West, as well as to continue owning her family’s building on the town’s square, which houses the Beckman Gallery.

The thought of appreciating and embracing Newton’s history and architecture is what Niskin set out to convey to her community. The coloring book was embraced by the Historic Preservation Commission last spring, and Niskin was given the green light to begin creating.

Lynnville-Sully High School, Middle School rank No. 1 in Iowa

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News The Iowa Department of Education released the 2016 Iowa School Report Card last week, and the Lynnville-Sully Community School District received high honors. L-S was ranked the top high school and top middle school in the state.

The report card assigns ratings to each school in Iowa.

Schools fall into one of the following categories: exceptional, high-performing, commendable, acceptable, needs improvement and priority.

Both L-S high school and middle school received an exceptional rating. The elementary school also ranked high and was deemed commendable.

The ratings are based on a variety of categories, such as proficiency, college and career-ready growth, graduation rate and attendance.

Superintendent of Schools and High School Principal Shane Ehresman said the school’s rating is a remarkable accomplishment.

“The superior state ratings reaffirm successful implementation of school improvement initiatives,” Ehresman said.

“Character Counts and MultiTiered Systems of Supports (MTSS) are among several initiatives positively impacting student achievement.”

Justin Jagler/Daily News Lynnville-Sully Community School District received “exceptional” ratings from the Iowa Department of Education last week.

Ehresman said data analysis and research-based practices drive the school’s day-today operations and long-range goals. He also said the staff, parents and community embrace high expectations for students.

“Lynnville-Sully does a great job of examining school-wide data, as well as identifying and providing extra help to students who need additional academic support,” he said.

The school district hosted a public assembly at the high school gym on Friday morning to recognize the achievements.

Sen. Chaz Allen, D-Newton; Rep. Greg Heartsill, R-Colum-

bia; Rep. Wes Breckenridge, D-Newton; and Sen. Amy Sinclair, R-Allerton were guest speakers. Director of Iowa Department of Education Ryan Wise also spoke at the assembly.

The Iowa Department of Education developed the report card system in response to a 2013 legislative requirement.

According to the department, the Iowa School Report Card is an informational tool with no rewards or consequences at this time.

Funding problems could delay Iowa education plans DES MOINES (AP) — Two education initiatives created to improve Iowa schools could be at risk of delay or even scuttled due to budget shortfalls.

Iowa lawmakers are struggling with a $110 million budget shortfall, and are unsure if enough funding is available for the initiatives.

The state Department of Education has not requested money from Iowa to implement a crucial summer reading program as part of the state’s thirdgrade retention law. Starting in the spring of next year, third-graders reading below grade level will be required to either repeat the grade or go to an intensive summer reading program to move on to the next year.

Republican House Education Committee chairman Walt Rogers said that initiative and one that would move from the current statewide exams to computer-based tests might be pushed back or changed.

DeVos pledges not to undo public education, pushes choice WASHINGTON (AP) — In a sometimes contentious confirmation hearing, education secretary pick Betsy DeVos pledged that she would not seek to dismantle public schools amid questions by Democrats about her qualifications, political donations and long-time work advocating for charter schools and school choice.

DeVos said she would address “the needs of all parents and students” but that a one-size fits all model doesn’t work in education.

But Democrats on the Senate Health, Education, Labor

and Pensions Committee grilled the wealthy Republican donor on a range of issues from sexual assault to child care, students with disabilities and making public colleges and universities tuition-free.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont asked DeVos outright if she would have gotten the job had it not been for her family’s political contributions. “As a matter of fact I do think that there would be that possibility,” she responded. “I have worked very hard on behalf of parents and children for the last almost 30

years.”

Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state, the top Democrat on the committee, said she was “extremely disappointed” that DeVos had not finalized her financial and ethics disclosures ahead of the hearing. She also asked whether DeVos would divest herself of any family business enterprises that may represent a conflict of interest in her job, including one student loan refinancing company.

“Where conflicts are identified, they will be resolved. I will not be conflicted. Peri-

od,” DeVos said.

Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., a former education secretary, expressed confidence that DeVos is an “excellent” choice for the job. “She is on the side of our children,” he said.

DeVos said that if she is confirmed education secretary, she will take a salary of only $1.

She sidestepped a question about whether she would rein in the department’s Office for Civil Rights’ work to protect students from campus sexual assault. DeVos said she would “be looking very closely at

how this has been regulated and handled and with great sensitivity to those who are victims.”

What if unwanted kissing and groping, like the behavior Donald Trump once bragged about, happened in a school, Murray asked. Would DeVos consider that sexual assault?

DeVos said yes.

Asked by Sanders about her views on tuition-free public colleges and universities, DeVos said: “I think we also have to consider the fact that there is nothing in life that is truly free. Somebody is going to pay for it.”

with four different panels Friday morning. The panels consist of representatives from the Newton Development Corporation, Newton Housing Development Corporation, the Newton Chamber of Commerce, Newton Main Street, city directors and board chairs, the mayor and city council and employee representatives.

After the interviews have concluded, the candidates will take a lunch break before participating in a community orientation tour. Also during that time, the city council will receive feedback from the panels, deliberate and select finalists from the pool to potentially take part in a second interview on Saturday.

The city administrator position was made available in October when Bob Knabel stepped down from the position to retire. Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik has been serving as the interim in the position since that time.

A potential dark horse candidate, whose name keeps popping up in Iowa Democratic political spheres, confirmed to the Newton Daily News on Thursday his name can also be scratched off the 2018 governor’s shortlist — former Newton mayor and Iowa District 15 State Sen. Chaz Allen.

Interest in the former Newton mayor as a potential democratic candidate for governor began during his first year in the State Senate.

As early at June 2015, Allen was put at No. 6 in Iowa Starting Line’s 2018 Democrat Governor power rankings. The online news site was founded in January 2015 by former democratic campaign staffer Pat Rynard of West Des Moines, and has become a growing voice in Iowa political analysis.

Allen was listed alongside names such as former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, Mathis and Petersen in that ranking. His name was also floated by a 1040 WHO Radio commentator and will appear as a guest Sunday with WHO-TV 13’s Political Director David Price.

As a part of an ongoing investigation and with information provided by citizens, officials were able to find the motorcycles and parts at the location.

According to the report, the investigation was made possible by concerned citizens who reported information concerning the case and with the use of social media.

Case was taken to the Jasper County Jail where he was on $10,000 bond.

Book Continued from Page 1A “There’s so much more to Newton than the racetrack,” Niskin said.

Historic houses and landmarks of Newton were illustrated by Thomasson who used a pen and ink technique for the coloring book.

Thomasson and Niskin picked out historical houses on First Avenue and chose to feature some Newton landmarks, such as, the Jasper County Courthouse and the Maytag Bowl.

Thomasson worked for about two weeks to complete the designs.

“Boy was that a challenge, I’m used to filling in all of the detail and I had to keep reminding

One personal Facebook posts

by Allen’s colleague and Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop, D-Baxter, eludes to someone with the state senator’s resume as a good choice for Iowa’s next governor. Another by Baxter Mayor Stephen Smith cites Chaz by name as someone with “honest values” to lead the state.

Allen himself recently linked to a tweet by Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett, who is considering a run for the Republican nomination, to his personal Facebook page. The tweet shared an article

by Des Moines Register Columnist Kathy Obradovich about Corbett and the difficulty in transitioning from big-city mayor to governor.

Allen shared the Tweet and said, “Hmmm? Mayors?”

All these posts could add fuel to the speculation that Allen was considering a run for governor, but the first-term state senator’s statement Thursday put any rumors of a gubernatorial bid on the back burner.

Allen declined to comment on the social media posts, but he confirmed his 2018 plan to run for re-election in Iowa Senate District 15 and not seek the governorship.

Allen said: “I am honored that constituents, consultants and the media

myself to keep it simple,” Thomasson said.

“If you look at the pictures of the houses every one is unique in its own way.”

Thomasson has her own studio at the Centre for Arts and Artists.

She moved to Newton in 2007, and she was pleasantly surprised to find a town where she could pursue an art-making career.

“That was one of the things that I loved when I moved here seven years ago, when I found out there was an art gallery in town,” Thomasson said.

That’s why Thomasson said she continues to promote projects like the coloring book, as it gives her the opportunity to tell people about the art centre.

“I am shocked that people don’t even know that it exists,” Thomasson said.

There isn’t a historical house in Newton that doesn’t have a story behind it. The coloring book contains brief descriptions of the buildings featured, allowing coloring book artists to learn along the way.

“I think it just comes down to the basic desire for Newton to look better and look more attractive and for people to be more appreciative of the architecture,” Niskin said.

Niskin noted these historical houses once belonged to pioneers who came to settle in Newton with a dream.

are encouraging me to run for governor in 2018. But in 2014, when then Sen. Dennis Black announced he was not going to run for re-election, my decision to run for State Senate in District 15 was an easy one, as the timing was perfect. I had a long history of serving the people of this area, and felt my past experience as a mayor and background in economic development would serve the district well. I still feel that way.

“Yet a run for governor is not something to be entered into lightly. My family is at a point of great excitement and change, as my two daughters will be graduating from high school in the next couple of years. To expend the time and energy required to run for governor of the great state of Iowa would cause me to miss too much family time at this crescendo in their lives. I will have enough on my plate as I launch my re-election campaign for my current Senate seat, as well as maintain employment as an economic development professional.

The opportunity to serve as the Senator for District 15 has and continues to be a great honor, and one I hope to be re-elected to in 2018.”

Dancing all the way I

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

t’s hard not to be drawn in by the catchy tunes of ABBA that bring the story of “Mamma Mia!” to life. I’ve seen the show on stage once before, but I got to see it again on opening night at the Des Moines Civic Center. I was very excited to get to see the “Farewell Tour” of the show and thought the cast and crew brought their A game to Iowa for sure.

“Mamma Mia!” has been gracing the stage since it first opened in 1999 (and still going) at West End, London’s famous theatre district. It came to America shortly after and will wrap up a 15-year run on tour in the United States this year. This show has become one of my favorites. It’s easy for me to pop in the soundtrack and enjoy the show tunes that includes chart toppers

from the ’70s.

For those unfamiliar with the show, the story has been shaped around songs from the Swedish group ABBA. These songs were used to tell the story of a daughter, Sophie, who was raised by a single mother, Donna. As Sophie’s wedding approached, she wonders who her father could be and wanted to discover his identity before she ties the knot. The only catch is, there were three possible men.

Unbeknownst to Donna, all three received invitations to the wedding in order for Sophie to find out who fathered her. Things get complicated fast, but you should really watch it for yourself to discover what happens.

The mother and daughter roles are key to the performance. Betsy Pada-

monsky played a wonderful Donna, and Lizzie Markson was perfect as Sophie.

Sophie kicks off the show with “I Have A Dream” and brings the audience to the Greek Island for 2.5 hours of laughs, music, dance and heartfelt revelations. Markson has such a sweet voice that makes you feel the hope behind her words. However, the whole show rides on Donna, and Padamonsky was more than up to the task. She played the independent, single mother to a T. Without a good Donna, the show could not go on.

Donna and Sophie were excellent, but Donna’s two friends Tanya (Cashelle Butler) and Rosie (Sarah Smith) really stole the show. They come for the wedding, but that doesn’t stop the trio of gal pals from reliving their younger years. You get to see Donna and Dynamos in action complete with the platforms and bell bottoms (if you have ABBA’s music in the show, this is a must at some point). Butler and

Smith brought the two characters to life brilliantly and never failed to bring endless hilarity to their scenes.

The true “Dancing Queens” of the performance were all the ensemble characters. They brought all of the group numbers together with a flare the songs deserve.

Once the story lines concludes, the performance was far from over. The cast returns to stage for the normal curtain call, but instead of just bowing and pointing to the next group they all join in a dance number and sing the title track “Mamma Mia!” then “Dancing Queen” and close with “Waterloo.”

There’s an added twist to the final two songs, but I don’t want to spoil it for you.

“Mamma Mia!” will be at the Civic Center through Sunday. If you want a show that will have you out of your seat and dancing along, go check it out before it’s gone.

So Anyway Dana King

You just have to get the feel for it It’s no secret ... hubby and I sometimes struggle with new technology.

It took a lot of convincing several years ago to get my hubs on board with the whole “smartphone” thing.

He was perfectly fine with his flip phone and couldn’t see any purpose for upgrading to something different.

“I only need a phone to make phone calls ... I’ll never use the internet on it ... It’s just an expense we don’t need.” He was adamant.

It didn’t take him long to appreciate and master the multitude of tasks he could accomplish with just a touch on his newly acquired smartphone.

The tool I find most useful on my smartphone is the calendar. Since hubby and I work such vastly different schedules (mine being much more predictable than his), the only way to keep up with each other at times is our calendars.

We color code everything. All of his entries and appointments are in red; mine are in lavender; Carson (college kid) puts his entries in blue; and when my mom was living, we kept her appointments in green.

As the days of the month would wear on, my calendar ended up looking like a basket of confetti exploded on it.

So anyway...

Hubby received a Kindle Fire for Christmas.

The look on his face when he opened it was similar to that of a first time father looking at his new baby — I’m super excited, but what do I do with it?

Since it was gifted to him by our daughter, Avery, she was assigned the task of getting her dad acquainted with the new device, because, let’s be honest, I’m not the best at explaining things when it comes to stuff like that. I don’t actually know how these things work, but by trial and error, I fumble around until I get the results I think I need. Make sense?

The two of them set up his email. They set up an Amazon account, because he does like finding good deals and seeing the Fed Ex truck pull in the drive to deliver his purchases. They downloaded a few apps he thought might come in handy.

In theory, we figured this would be a smooth transition for her dad, since he has become quite astute at making use of his smartphone for things like email, camera, keeping up to date on NASCAR, The Weather Channel, his calendar, television news stations and even a ghost finder — don’t ask.

What we didn’t count on was his uncompromising belief someone is changing the sensitivity of the touch screen on his Kindle Fire ... and strangely enough, I get the impression he thinks it’s me. We keep trying to tell him, it just takes time to get the feel for a new device, but his patience is wearing thin.

I guess I can relate though. I remember rolling backwards at stop signs on a lot of hills in every vehicle I drove with a manual transmission while I was trying to get the “feel” for the clutch.

City leaders should put checkbook away With the increased city spending, everyone has to be concerned with the direction our community is heading. The much senseless spending is taking many properties off of the tax rolls leaving the remaining businesses and residents to make up for the lost tax revenue that was once collected.

If that isn’t already bad enough, people that struggle to keep roofs over their heads and feed their own families suffer from these ill fated decisions. We remain on the tax roll are all now on the hook to make up for the lost revenue due to the ill fated decisions of our city leaders.

Recently there was an article that appeared on our local radio channel’s website that was

the icing on the cake. That article brought my old dirty pen out of the cupboard to give our city leaders yet another well deserved thrashing in ink. Based on that article, over half of the students enrolled in the Newton schools are eligible for free or reduced price on their lunches. With that outlandish statistic, how does our city leaders think that the families that can’t even afford to feed their own children will be able to come up with yet more property tax money to pay for stupid expenditures by the city?

Perhaps our city leaders want to make our community seem like a country club, but it will never be, especially with some of the highest property taxes in the state. What person in their right mind wants to pay nearly as much in property taxes as their house payment? Businesses don’t want to be in an area where taxes are

Locals to recognize human trafficking awareness month Newton Says No to Human Trafficking is a nonprofit organization that was created to raise awareness and enhance safety for the citizens of Jasper County.

The organization is made up of caring individuals from our local communities. I am proud to be a member of this organization and to play a part in keeping citizens safe.

Human trafficking is the use of force, fraud or coercion to control another person. Traffickers use these techniques to force their victims into labor slavery or sex slavery. Nationally this is a “multi-billion-dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to 20.9 million people from around the world,”(Polaris project). Hu-

man trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal activities in the United States. The lack of education and awareness of this illegal activity, along with the high profit margin, makes it lucrative for traffickers. Another factor that goes into the profit margin is that the product they are selling is people; people are a reusable resource.

Newton Says No to Human Trafficking is working to increase awareness by conducting educational presentations around central Iowa. Linda Pierce and Lynn Keller formed this organization and have coordinated and given many of these presentations. In part, as a result of this organiza-

high. So what gives? One would have to be silly to think the city leaders buying more fluff is being fiscally responsible to those they represent.

Do us all a favor and put the checkbook away. There are needs and wants in life. Buying up gas stations to create green space, and hotels because someone offers you a coupon (grant) to fix it up, all fall under the want category.

These expenditures were not well thought out and show the lack of concern and respect our leaders show to the majority in our city.

Obviously if the majority can’t put enough food on their own tables, they most certainly shouldn’t be expected to help pay for more extravagant fluff because of the many ill fated decisions being made by the minority elected officials.

Winter brings increased risk of CO poisoning DES MOINES — Known as the “silent killer,” carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, can poison people and pets when carbon-based fuels are burned incorrectly or aren’t vented properly.

“Winter is the peak time for carbon monoxide poisoning, since more people are cranking up their gas furnace, using fireplaces or woodstoves, and spending more time indoors,” Gerald Peek, director of environmental health safety and training for MidAmerican Energy Company, said. “Because you can’t see it, smell it or taste it, you may be overcome by carbon monoxide before you even realize you’ve been exposed to it.”

To help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, which kills more than 400 Americans each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, MidAmerican Energy is offering the follow-

ing safety tips: Install at least one CO detector on each level of your home. Better yet, place one near each bedroom, one in the basement if gas appliances are located there and one near the laundry room if you have a gas dryer. If you have a plugin CO detector, be sure it has a battery backup so that it keeps working in the event of a power outage. Change the batteries regularly and replace detectors every five years or as recommended by the manufacturer. It’s also recommended to purchase a CO detector that is certified by a national testing agency, such as Underwriters’ Laboratories.

Have your heating system and other fuel-burning appliances inspected annually. A qualified contractor can check for proper ventilation and ensure your systems are operating safely.

Periodically check

vents, flues and chimneys to make sure they aren’t blocked. Chimneys can be blocked by debris, which can cause CO to back up into your home.

Never use portable generators inside homes or garages. Generators give off carbon monoxide that can quickly reach dangerous levels, even if doors and windows are left open. If you must use a portable generator as a power source, locate it far away from the house.

Beware of home heating shortcuts. If the power goes out or your furnace malfunctions, don’t bring outdoor equipment like charcoal grills, propane heaters or camp stoves indoors and don’t use your gas range or oven as a space heater.

These devices can cause CO to build up in your home.

Never leave your car running inside an attached garage, even if the overhead door is

open. Fumes can still build up inside the garage and seep into the house.

Also, it’s important to know the signs of CO poisoning, which include headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea and dizziness. These symptoms may be confused with the flu. The key difference is the flu is often accompanied by a fever, whereas CO poisoning is not. As the concentration of CO in the bloodstream increases, you may experience vomiting, drowsiness, mental confusion and loss of muscular coordination. Exposure to high levels of CO may lead to loss of consciousness, convulsions, cardiac or respiratory failure, and ultimately, death.

If you suspect CO poisoning, get outside into fresh air immediately and call 911. For more home safety tips, visit www.midamericanenergy.com.

Couple’s long, joyful marriage is based upon three principles DEAR ABBY: Many of your published letters come from unhappy married women. Some of them seem unable to get objective advice that would make themselves and their marriages happier. I’m fortunate to be happily married (33 years) to a wonderful woman who has a clear perspective.

Three pearls of wisdom she could share: 1. Don’t sulk because your husband can’t read your mind. Trust him; he’d like to help. And listen to your tone as you point out how he can.

2. The way you talk about him to your friends is an expression of your fidelity. Talk about him honestly, but with respect. If you do, he’ll admire and encourage your close friendships and take a sincere interest in your friends as people. If your MO is to grouse and complain about him, in his mind and heart he will feel you’re abandoning him.

3. Be clear that while your husband might say he’d like to treat you like a queen, you’re both better off being equals — partners, side-by-side. In our marriage, there is no “better half.”

There are two halves.

It’s amazing how much joy we have experienced during our years together, based on this simple foundation. My esteem for my wife only grows each year — something that seems impossible, but then again, fantastic things usually do. — PETER, A GRATEFUL HUSBAND DEAR PETER: Thank you for sharing those words of wisdom because they apply to husbands as well as wives. There’s a saying: The higher the pedestal, the longer the fall. Partners who treat each other as equals and with respect — and the key word is “respect” — usually have long-lasting and happy unions. Those who complain behind a spouse’s back, who denigrate rather than elevate, do not make themselves look better or their mar-

riages healthier. I’m glad you wrote.

DEAR ABBY: How do you deal with adult “children” who ignore issues about their health? My 30-something son had a root canal a few days ago.

His face is swollen, he has lost sleep and is in pain. His wife has tried everything to get him to get it checked out, and she just called me in desperation.

Why does he do this? It isn’t the first time she and others have begged him to take care of himself. She’s pregnant and they have two other small kids. He has insurance, so it’s not about money.

It’s just so stressful for those of us who love him. He works for himself and is a high-energy guy and a great dad.

— QUESTIONING MY SON’S SANITY DEAR QUESTIONING: Some men feel that acknowledging pain is showing weakness. They think that if they just “gut it out” a while longer, things will get better. And while many of them do, many also don’t.

Pick up the phone and tell your daughter-in-law to call the dentist who did the root canal and ask whether what her husband is experiencing is normal. And if the answer is that it’s not, she should tell her husband that “the surgeon wants him to come in for a recheck” to be sure his wounds haven’t become infected.

4 Dairy to pay $160K in settling

Man charged in death of woman killed by cannon

water pollution lawsuit

MANCHESTER — An eastern Iowa man has been charged in the death of a woman who died after being injured by a homemade cannon.

Max J. Fenton, 29 of Greeley was charged Wednesday in Delaware County Court with involuntary manslaughter and released. He’s scheduled to appear in court Feb. 1. The charges stem from the night of July 2, when court documents state Fenton fired an “improvised cannon.” Part of the cannon failed and sent fragments toward spectators.

SIOUX CITY — A northwest Iowa dairy has settled a federal lawsuit and promises action to prevent future manure discharges into nearby streams.

Prosecutors also said Thursday that Meadowvale Dairy, of Rock Valley, has agreed to pay a $160,000 civil penalty. The proposed consent decree is subject to a 30day public comment period and approval by the federal court. The lawsuit filed last February alleges that since 2001, Iowa has cited Meadowvale a dozen times.

Stolen passwords used to change some grades IOWA CITY — Officials say some students used stolen teacher passwords to change some grades at the University of Iowa. The officials said Thursday the university is investigating about 250 cases in which university IDs and login information were taken by unauthorized devices that had been attached to university computers in classrooms and computer labs.

Officials are encouraging students, faculty and other staff members to change their passwords.

DENISON — Authorities have resumed a search for a girl missing since the vehicle she was in plunged into the Boyer River in western Iowa. The accident was reported about 3 a.m. Thursday in rural Crawford County. Authorities say the car was carrying five people when it ran off a rural road into the river. Four who reached safety on their own or were rescued and taken to a Denison hospital.

Lawmaker seeks to end machine gun ban DES MOINES — Iowa’s ban on owning vintage machine guns would be ended under legislation introduced by a lawmaker and supported by a firearms group. Sen. Jason Schultz, a Republican from Schleswig in northwest Iowa, says his bill would allow possession of machine guns as well as short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns. Residents would only be able to buy machine guns built before 1986.

—The Associated Press

GOP governors who turned down Medicaid money have hands out DES MOINES (AP) — Republican governors who turned down billions in federal dollars from an expansion of Medicaid under President Barack Obama’s health care law now have their hands out in hopes the GOP-controlled Congress comes up with a new formula to provide insurance for low-income Americans.

The other GOP governors, such as Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who agreed to expand state-run services in exchange for federal help — more than a dozen out of the 31 states — are adamant that Congress maintain the financing that has allowed them to add millions of low-income people to the health insurance rolls.

These two groups of Republicans embody the difficulty the emboldened GOP congressional majorities face: Make good on their promises to repeal the 2010 health care law while preserving popular provisions.

With Congress starting to consider plans for annulling and reshaping Obama’s overhaul, Republican governors and lieutenant governors from 10 states met privately for more than two hours Thursday with GOP members of the Senate Finance Committee and raised concerns about how lawmakers will reshape Medicaid.

“They’re worried about how it all works out,” Finance panel chair-

man Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said after the session in a Senate office building.

GOP senators and governors stressed the need for giving states more flexibility to shape their Medicaid programs. That’s a change that worries Democrats, who say some states would inevitably end up covering fewer people or offering skimpier benefits.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said governors could find savings by being allowed to impose “work incentives” for some beneficiaries.

Kasich suggested shifting people who earn just above the poverty level from Medicaid to the online exchanges that Obama’s law created for buying coverage.

“I think they understand this is not simple and I think they know they have to get it right,” Kasich said.

A chief worry by governors was whether states that accepted extra federal money to expand Medicaid to more people would lose that extended coverage. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said afterward that “it ain’t going to happen,” though he did not detail how.

In a letter he carried to Capitol Hill, Kasich warned that repealing Obama’s law without an alternative in place could interrupt health care coverage for hundreds of thousands in Ohio and urged he “be granted the flexibility to retain the adult

Medicaid coverage expansion.”

Ohio has added roughly 700,000 recipients to the program since the law took effect in 2013.

Unlike Kasich, 19 Republican governors successfully defied the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that states open up Medicaid to more people.

It was a major expansion of the state-federal health insurance system whose primary purpose has grown in its 52 years from backstop medical assistance for the poor to the go-to program for closing gaps in private health insurance system.

In the three years since the Affordable Care Act went into effect, Medicaid enrollment has grown by about 18 million people, to roughly 75 million, according to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker notably turned down more than $500 million for his state. Determined to win over conservative voters for his presidential bid, he doubted the federal government would keep its word to cover 100 percent of expansion costs in the first three years, and 90 percent over the long term.

On average, the federal government’s contribution accounts for 56 percent of a state’s Medicaid budget, making the financing terms under the health care law much more generous.

Volunteers raise, work to illuminate crosses NEOLA — After successfully creating a trio of crosses along Interstate 80 back in June, the Neola Lions Club chapter is now planning to illuminate them for people driving at night.

The chapter was inspired by Crosses Across America, a nonprofit group that has helped raise more than 2,000 clusters of crosses nationwide. After learning about the organization, Neola Lions Club President Fred Rodenburg presented the idea of the 36-foot high Neola crosses to the chapter. Rodenburg says the estimated cost of the project was about $1,000 and came from the Lions Club.

“It’s a unique thing. It’s not dedicated to anyone or a big donor,” said Rodenburg. “We just wanted to do it.”

Local farmer Les Clark, whose property overlooks the interstate, has granted Rodenburg’s club permission to use it for the effort.

The group is raising funds to illuminate the structures. Rodenburg said there is no overarching or grand theme for what they’re doing.

“That’s the uniqueness of this thing: Why not put up crosses?” Rodenburg said. “We just wanted to do it and thought it’d be a good thing for the community.”

Inauguration Day: Trump to become America’s 45th president WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump, the real estate mogul and reality television star who upended American politics and energized voters angry with Washington, will be sworn in Friday as the 45th president of the United States, putting Republicans in control of the White House for the first time in eight years.

“It all begins today!”

Trump tweeted at daybreak. “THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES THE WORK BEGINS!” Ebullient Trump supporters flocked to the nation’s capital for the inaugural festivities, some wearing red hats emblazoned with his “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan. But in a sign of deep divisions Trump sowed during his combative campaign, dozens of Democratic lawmak-

ers were boycotting the swearing-in ceremony on Capitol Hill.

While Trump came to power bucking convention, he was wrapping himself in the traditional pomp and pageantry that accom-

panies the peaceful transfer of power. The president-in-waiting will attend church with his family Friday morning, then meet President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for tea at the White

House. The Trumps and the Obamas will travel together in the presidential limousine for the short trip to the Capitol for the noon swearing-in ceremony.

Trump supporters started lining up at se-

curity checkpoints before dawn to take their places in the quadrennial rite of democracy.

“I’m here for history,” said Kevin Puchalski, a 24-year-old construction worker who drove from Philadelphia to attend the swearing-in. “This is the first president that I voted for that won.” His big hope: Trump builds that promised wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.

“Keep the illegals out,” he said.

Protesters, too, were out early, some trying to block inaugural visitors from passing through security checkpoints, some wearing orange jumpsuits with black hoods over their faces.

Eleanor Goldfield, who helped organize the Disrupt J20 protest, said demonstrators hope to show they will not be silent throughout Trump’s

presidency. She called Trump supporters “misguided, misinformed or just plain dangerous.”

Trump aides said the president-elect had been personally invested in crafting his inaugural address, a relatively brief 20-minute speech that is expected to center on his vision for what it means to be an American. Spokesman Sean Spicer said the address would be “less of an agenda and more of a philosophical document.”

Trump has pledged to upend Obama’s major domestic and national security policies, including repealing his signature health care law and building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. But he’s offered few details of how he plans to accomplish his agenda, often sending contradictory signals.

The Associated Press: 10 things to know for today Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today: 1. INAUGURATION DAY The real estate mogul and reality TV star who upended American politics and energized voters angry with Washington is set to be sworn in.

2. TRUMP TO TAKE OATH OF OFFICE AMID DEEP UNCERTAINTY How the new U.S. president handles immigration, health care, foreign policy and trade will have the rapt attention of

Cardinals beat Tigers on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Tied at 30-all, Newton High’s Cardinals and the visiting Grinnell Tigers had three more matches to determine which team would win a spirited Little Hawkeye Conference dual Thursday night.

It was Senior Night for the Cardinals as seven seniors wrestled their final time at home.

“We won our final home meet and as seniors that means a lot,” Newton senior Skyler Tool, a second-year wrestler who had two junior varsity matches Thursday, said. “I didn’t do very good tonight, but I know I’ve gotten better from last year to this year. It was great to watch the varsity wrestlers win for us tonight.”

Senior Tanner Petro and Grinnell’s Trent Miller were charged up on the mat in their 170-pound match. Petro was up 3-1 in the second period when he lifted Miller up trying to gain a takedown. Petro threw Miller to the mat, hurting the Tiger wrestler and stopping the match.

Miller was unable to continue, and by rule, was awarded the match victory. A wrestler lifting an opponent off the mat must return him to the mat in a controlled manner. Petro was disqualified for the move and six points went to Grinnell.

Grinnell’s 36-30 lead was short lived. Newton senior Brady Smith made quick work of Owen Bryan at 182 pounds.

aking on cancer — as many have said before me, we are all touched by this disease. Newton High’s annual Coaches vs. Cancer basketball games are Friday when the Cardinal teams play the Indianola teams.

Coaches vs. Cancer is an American Cancer Society program which empowers coaches, their teams, and communities to join the fight against cancer by participating in awareness efforts, advocacy programs, and fundraising activities. The American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches partnered on this program in 1993.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets State fan — graduated from KSU in 1979 and my parents graduated from the great university in the 1950s. One of the college basketball coaches, we Wildcat fans use to chide most was Norm Stewart at the University of Missouri. Stewart is a cancer survivor and provided the vision and inspiration for the Coaches vs. Cancer concept — the 3-point shot challenge is his.

Although it is a different cancer fundraising and fighting program, the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research was the concept of the late Jim Valvano, former North Carolina State basketball coach. He led the Wolfpack to the 1983 NCAA tournament championship. Valvano lost his battle with bone cancer but left a legacy of inspi-

Six seniors swam their final home dual meets for Newton/Colfax-Mingo/Pella’s Cardinals on Thursday night at the Newton YMCA. The NCMP boys’ swim team split the double dual — beating Grinnell, 60-34, and losing 55-39 to Atlantic.

Atlantic pushed past Grinnell for a 64-30 win.

In the junior varsity action, NCMP claimed wins over both Grinnell, 50-41, and Atlantic, 5911, while Grinnell beat Atlantic, 54-11.

You know how Facebook puts up those “See Your Memories” from past postings. As I was working on Newton’s Coaches vs. Cancer information this week, my Facebook had memories from three years ago. Three years ago — Jan. 10, 2013 —my father found out the growth in his colon was cancer.

Testing by doctors before surgery seemed to indicate the cancer had been contained. On Jan. 14, 2013, Dad had his surgery and came through it. I remember when they brought him to his hospital room, he asked if he could have a steak dinner.

We were all waiting for the results.

They had removed part of his colon then reattached the colon to the intestine. The day after surgery, Dad was sitting up in a chair, eating Jell-o, soup but no steak and had several visitors.

Thursday, Jan. 17, 2013, was a big day for the Dean Sheets family.

“We were thrilled to honor our senior swimmers,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “These guys have been excellent leaders for our team both in and out of the pool.

“Seniors provide the verbal and non-verbal cues for the underclassmen and Coach Knepper and I felt these athletes did a good job of leaving a legacy of what is expected for an NCMP swimmer.”

NCMP won two events on the night.

Caleb Gaylor won the 200-meeter freestyle race in 2 minutes, 3.8 seconds with teammate Adam Hunter finishing fifth in 2:15.34.

I was with my father when he went for a check up. Everyone was so happy to tell him they had gotten all the cancer. We were blessed as a family with this outcome. Dad is cancer free and will celebrate his 90th birthday in April.

I had an aunt who battled and won against breast cancer years ago. Unfortunately, I’ve lost friends — too many of them — to this disease. So if you can, go to the Newton High basketball games Friday night and Donate your CHANGE, to make a CHANGE in someone’s life.

I’ll leave you with Jimmy V’s words: “Cancer can take away all my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.”

PCM claims HOIC dual title Short-handed CMB stays winless in duals

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — With four open weights, Saydel tried to mix and match a lineup that gave the Eagles the best chance against Prairie City-Monroe on Thursday night.

Mustang coach Cory Waddell told his team before the night began they would not shift anyone around and see what his best 14 wrestlers could do.

In the end, the team that didn’t mess with their lineup was victorious as PCM rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat Saydel, 42-32, in a Heart of Iowa Conference triangular.

The Mustangs defeated host Collins-Maxwell/Baxter, 75-6, earlier in the night and the two HOIC wins clinched the conference dual championship.

Saydel defeated CMB 56-12 in the finale.

“It feels great,” Waddell said. “I knew it was going to be close. One of the ways I drew it up was really close to what the final score was.

“Saydel tried everything.

They tried to bump guys around to try to score as many points as possible. I told the guys in the locker room that we have 14 guys and we are going to send our 14 best guys out there and see what happens. We didn’t move anybody, and it turned out all right.”

Waddell told his team and the PCM administration that this season would be his last as Mustang head coach. His squad sent him out with a dual

conference title.

CMB earned three wins total on its Senior Night. Senior Archer McFadden earned a win by fall against PCM’s Jace Smith at 285 in the first dual.

Against Saydel, senior Evan Bianchi (12-6) took a forfeit at 160, and sophomore Caleb Fullerton (14-5) pinned Saydel’s Jackson Dopheide at 138.

“We give everyone a 36-point handicap unfortunately,” CMB coach Mike Leslie said. “Those seniors will be tough to lose. We don’t have another heavyweight, and we don’t have a guy who is at Evan’s level at this point in time.

That may change but losing those guys will be rough. I watched them grow, and they have made a lot of improvements over the years. This is the first class that has gone all

the way through since I have been here.”

Saydel jumped out to a lead against PCM. The Eagles moved Peyton Swafford down a weight, and that resulted in a 6-2 win. Trevor Sprague (32-4) moved up to face PCM senior Leevi Telfer and got another win by fall.

Senior Clayton Welch (220) and freshman Payton Drake (106) both were given forfeit wins in between Saydel’s Hunter Jesse’s pin against Smith.

Saydel tried to move a few other wrestlers around, but it backfired at 113. Sophomore Clay Van Wyk scored early in the match and went on to defeat Dylan Becker, 2-0.

“It helps you mentally,” Van Wyk said of the early lead. “I didn’t have to wait until the last minute to score, but you also have to keep moving so

Ford finally gets to publicly celebrate signing SHR CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Almost a full year after signing Stewart-Haas Racing, Ford Performance is finally able to celebrate its new addition.

Ford lured Tony Stewart’s four-car operation away from Chevrolet early last year in a deal that begins this season. SHR and Ford announced the partnership nearly a year in advance, then had to wait as SHR fulfilled its contract with Chevy through the end of last year.

Now that the calendar has turned, Ford is eager to showcase its four new gleaming toys.

The company hosted Stewart, Clint Bowyer and the four SHR Fusions on Wednesday at the Ford Performance Technical Center in the first public event between the new partners.

To mark the occasion, Raj Nair, the chief technical officer for Ford Motor Co., presented Stewart with a historic photo of Henry Ford that he asked Stewart to hang inside the walls of Stewart-Haas Racing.

The photo shows Ford in the one and only race he ever ran, in 1901 in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, where he upset renowned driver Alexander Winton.

they don’t score on you.

“It’s a confidence booster.

They thought they could what they wanted with their lineup, and I was able to prove them wrong at my weight.”

Waddell liked that his young wrestler was ready to go when he expected to take a forfeit.

“I always tell them they need to be ready to go no matter what, and Clay was ready to go tonight,” Waddell said. “He didn’t think he had a match, but he went out and took care of business.”

Saydel (14-7 overall, 7-1 in the HOIC) regained momentum with three straight bonus-point wins — two pins and one technical fall.

Junior Chase Shirk turned the dual around when he came up with a pin at 138 pounds.

Shirk’s victory over Dopheide started a run of five straight wins that helped the Mustangs (15-8, 8-0) rally for the win.

“Coach wanted me to go out there and do my job,” Shirk said. “I knew the kid had pinned me before. Trapping him and pinning him like that was a great feeling.”

Shirk was involved in one of those swing matches that can turn a dual either direction.

“That was a huge win for us. Without that pin or with a loss, we would have been in trouble,” Waddell said. “He’s been sick, too. He didn’t wrestle for us Tuesday, but he was in school today, and did what he had to do tonight to help us win a conference title.”

Class 2A No. 3 Xavier Miller got a pin at 145 and No. 7 Wes Cummings and No. 5 Lucas Roland both took forfeits at 152 and 160, respectively.

That locked up the dual for the Mustangs.

Tigerhawks claim three wins on Senior Night

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Wrestling without one of its best wrestlers, the Colfax-Mingo wrestling team didn’t miss a beat Thursday during a home quadrangular.

The Tigerhawks did not have the services of 23-1 sophomore Cauy Fitch, but they still cruised to three easy wins on Senior Night.

Colfax-Mingo began the night with a 45-29 win over Class 2A Centerville. That would end up being the Tigerhawks’ toughest test as they also downed Lynnville-Sully, 60-18, and dominated English Valleys, 64-18.

Trimble, 25th-ranked Terrapins outlast Iowa IOWA CITY (AP) — With a bad loss looming, Maryland turned to its best player to maintain its unlikely lead atop the Big Ten. Melo Trimble scored 20 points and No. 25 Maryland rallied after blowing a 15-point lead to outlast Iowa 84-76 on Thursday night for its fourth straight victory.

Trimble broke out of a slump with consecutive 3-pointers in the final 3 minutes to key the Terrapins (17-2, 5-1), who have also won three in a row on the road (Michigan, Illinois and Iowa).

“We just kept believing that we were going to win,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. “Just another gutty road win for us.”

Maryland was threatening to blow out the Hawkeyes (11-9, 3-4) before Iowa went on a 10-0 run midway through the second half.

The Hawkeyes went ahead 72-69, but an 8-0 spurt fueled by Trimble’s 3s gave Maryland a lead it did not relinquish.

“I had that in my mind the whole game, just to keep being aggressive,” said Trimble, who shot at least 50 percent for the first time in five games.

“I had that aggressive mindset to just keep shooting.”

Anthony Cowan had 15 points and six assists for the Terrapins, who shot 56.6 percent from the field.

Peter Jok, the Big Ten’s leading scorer, had 14 points for Iowa on 4-of-12 shooting.

Jok’s back flared up in a loss Sunday to Northwestern.

“They did a good job of answering our runs with timely baskets.”

But Iowa, which has been up and down since November, got going in the second half and stormed ahead. Trimble simply showed why he’s one of the nation’s best guards when it mattered.

The Hawkeyes countered by being more active in Maryland’s passing lanes, forcing 21 turnovers in all.

Iowa: The Hawkeyes brought their hangover from an 89-54 loss to Northwestern last weekend back to Iowa City,

Poll Implications Even though Iowa has beaten some good competition at home, beating the Hawkeyes on the road won’t do much for the Terrapins.

Senior Lexi Timmins hit a contested layup with about 15 seconds to play to give the Mustangs a final lead in a 55-54 victory in non-conference play.

“This is one of those wins that has eluded us in the past few seasons,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said. “We’ve progresssively gotten better against the really good teams, and the girls found a way to break through.”

Astrograph

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 20). Inside you there are many places you haven’t gone yet.

The potential is shimmering, though you’ll have a lot of self-control in this regard so the year will gently unfold for you. Relationships are your ticket to new lands inside and out. Financial rewards are best in February, April and July.

Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 29, 33, 10, 4 and 32.

Have you ever been relieved by and comforted inside the feeling of belonging? Have you ever wished that you belonged to no one? Have you ever wanted to be claimed by everyone? As we move

through the early stages of the Aquarius sun, social standards and moods will shift along with our needs and loyalties.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

To develop a crush on someone who is unreachable, unknown or very distant is more or less common. To develop a crush on someone you’re already in a committed relationship with is love at its finest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Colors reflect. Sound echoes.

You shine back at your love with distortions lovely and confusing, glints of sparkle and fading sunshade. It’s not an accurate representation but

a personal one -- the only kind a (SET ITAL) person (END ITAL) can give.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Why things end up where they do is a question you constantly have going in your mind today, partly because you don’t want what you’re working on to end up in the same way. You’ll find out then plot your course differently.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The great prizes of the day are connected with your home and all that means to you. There’s a spirit you cultivate there, and it’s very much alive and generating energy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People will receive your creative out-

put in a variety of ways, some that may please you, some that may offend. You really have no control over it. As a creative person, your job is to create and let go.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The part of your mind that’s wrapped up in an endless, nagging to-do list is really bogging you down. Bottom line, if it can’t be scheduled, it won’t be done. Either put it on the calendar or cross it off and forget it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll find a new affinity for a relationship, interest or object you possess. It’s like finding treasure in your own pocket.

The feeling of wealth costs nothing to you. Sweet felicity!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You will alternate between producing beautiful work and admiring the beautiful work of others. These tones are both so enjoyable and becoming on you. This is a good day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Being too comfortable is disempowering. Agitation can be a favorable condition. Go deeper into your agitation. Let it move you to make a difference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). First place, second place -- it’s nice to get a medal, but really what matters more is doing the best you can with what you have. It’s better to feel progress and not place than to win first place without feeling

progress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

It’s fine luck that you are not tempted by the same things that others in your group find irresistible. You will help the others focus and stick to what’s positive and productive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

As you bring order and tidiness to your home, you confront yourself, remember details of life, decide who you want to be, see who you are, and (bonus!) get a clean place to operate from.

Hawk grapplers lose three duals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Michele Heisdorffer/NHS photo Senior Paul Maharry swims the 100-meter breaststroke for NCMP against Atlantic and Grinnell on Thursday at Newton’s YMCA. NCMP beat visiting Grinnell and lost to visiting Atlantic on Senior Night.

NCMP Continued from Page 1B Gaylor and Hunter came back later in the meet to swim in the 400 freestyle. Gaylor claimed first in breaking his own school mark in the event at 4:25.81. Hunter took fourth in 4:48.59.

Opening the meet was the 200 medley relay race in which NCMP’s foursome of Jacob Nedder, Carter Briggs, Mason Lee and Trotter turned in a second-place time of 2:05.02. The Cardinal team of Deklan Lewis, Maharry, Clay Meyer and Heisdorffer was third in 2:12.52.

“We are pushing the envelop to be fierce and take our races out fast and come back strong. We are getting better little by little,” Patterson said. “It was fun to race Atlantic’s relays as they have top-20 times. I told the guys to measure ourselves against them and see how fast we could go.”

Briggs brought home a second-place finish in the 200 individual medley in 2:38.44 with Nedder in fifth at 2:47.06. Trotter placed second in the 50-meter freestyle in 26.44 seconds and Lee finished fourth in 28.30 seconds.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Smith pinned Bryan in 49 seconds to tie the dual up.

Newton sophomore Jaise Gulling walked out onto the mat at 195 pounds and there was no Grinnell wrestler to take on. Gulling won by forfeit the final match of the dual, handing the Cardinals a 42-36 conference win.

“It was a great win to get against a rival in the Little Hawkeye Conference,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said. “It was a good environment for Senior Night and we sent our seniors out at home with a win.”

Newton is 3-2 in LHC dual action and 7-2 overall.

Grinnell had pushed senior Isaiah McAlexander up from 195 to 220 to wrestled Newton freshman Gage Linahon in the opening match of the night. Linahon worked to a 2-0 lead through the first period then pinned McAlexander at the 2 minute, 32-second mark.

Newton senior Alex Miller finished off a wild first period against Grinnell’s Wilbur White on a pin with 44 seconds remaining in the period. Newton led 12-0, but Grinnell scored six points on a forfeit win at 106 by Brock Beck.

“Gage’s win was great and that was a good win for Alex,” Swedenhjem said. “Our guys came out and wrestled with some good fire. We talked about being aggressive. We did a good job, for the most part, of initiating the action.”

At 113, two sophomores met with Newton’s Blake Cockerton winning by a 16-6 major decision over Dalton Gosselink. Grinnell’s Alex Farmer pinned Newton senior Aren Sorensen at the end of the second period of their 120-pound match to make it 16-12.

Newton junior Ross Hull controlled Grinnell’s Ethan Kirby at 126 for a technical fall, 17-0, late in the second period. The win pushed Newton’s lead to 21-12.

Grinnell won the next three

Lee posted a fourth-place time of 1:19.38 in the 100 butterfly and Meyer was fifth at 1:22.22. Heisdorffer swam fourth in the 100 freestyle in 1:01.80 as Maharry touched fifth in 1:02.94.

Trotter, Lee, Maharry and Gaylor combined for second place in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:46.70.

The NCMP team of Meyer, Briggs, Hunter and Heisdorffer placed fourth in 1:57.97.

Nedder and Lewis went 2-3 in the 100 backstroke with Nedder’s time at 1:13.86 and Lewis touching in 1:17.39. Briggs took third in the 100 breaststroke in 1:19.92 and Maharry was fourth in 1:24.02.

NCMP finished the meet with a second-place time of 4:01.29 in the 400 freestyle relay race with the team of Trotter, Heisdorffer, Hunter and Gaylor. Meyer, Lewis, Logan Zaabel and Nedder combined for sixth place in 4:45.19.

In junior varsity action, Izaak Miller won the 200 individual medley in 3:09.45 and Parker Sherwood was second in 4:22.51. Miller won the 100 breaststroke in 1:33.80 and Mitch Faidley was second in 1:34.04.

Faidley took first in the 100 butterfly in 1:29.16 and James Westbrook was second in 1:31.63. Lewis

won the 400 freestyle in 5:24.92 and Zaabel was third in 6:42.06.

Ver Steeg captured first in the 50 freestyle in 33.91 seconds and Elbert was second in 38.50 seconds.

Ver Steeg took fourth in the 100 freestyle in 1:21.12 and Elbert was fifth in 1:31.34.

Zaabel placed second in the 200 freestyle in 2:59.88 and Joe Busch was fifth in 3:15.72. Sherwood placed second in the 100 backstroke in 1:44.63 and Westbrook was fourth in 1:45.76.

The 200 freestyle relay team of Ver Steeg, Busch, Elbert and Miller took second in 2:23.16. Busch, Westbrook, Sherwood and Ver Steeg combined for second in the 400 freestyle relay in 5:32.59.

Patterson said in the next few weeks, the Cardinals are going to fine tune and work on little things as well as continue to practice battling during races and during their training.

NCMP will swim at home one more time as the Newton hosts the North Central Iowa Conference meet Jan. 28 at the Newton YMCA.

matches by pins — Kaiden Gosselink over sophomore Joe Carolus at 132, Wyatt Dillon over freshman Zane Kohlmeyer at 138 and Jevin Wyatt over senior Jon Lawton at 145. The Tigers grabbed a 30-21 lead.

Newton senior Logan Zibert and Grinnell junior Bryson Cline revved the action back up in their 152-pound match. Zibert was up 5-4 after one period and had a 10-4 lead going into the third period.

Cline got a takedown to open the third period, but Zibert reversed positions to score seven straight points. Cline escaped to make it 177. Zibert used one more takedown then pinned Cline with 16 seconds remaining in the six-minute match.

Newton trailed Grinnell, 30-27.

Junior Tristin Langmaid faced Grinnell’s Gabe Osborne at 160 pounds.

The two went scoreless in the opening period and Osborne scored a point on an escape in the second.

Langmaid was behind 1-0 going into the third period. He tied the match on an escape point and claimed a 3-1 lead on a takedown.

Osborne escaped late in the match, and made a move for a takedown but both wrestlers were off the mat with one second left. Langmaid won 3-2, which tied the duo at 30-30.

There were eight junior varsity matches with Newton winning four and Grinnell winning four. Blake

Iske went 1-1 for Newton and Tool was 0-2. Noah Cook, Destine Schroder and Jeremiah Johnson each won for Newton and Reece Caves lost.
