Breckenridge outpacing Kelley in fundraising Iowa House primary set for June 7

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The campaign committee to elect Wes Breckenridge, a Newton police lieutenant who announced his candidacy for the Iowa House District 29 Democratic nomination in September, has raised nearly three times as much money as incumbent Rep. Dan Kel-

ley and from more than three times as many contributors.

Though there are still more than five months left before the primary election, Breckenridge is out to a strong start in fundraising. The first state-required reporting deadline for campaign contributions was Tuesday, and Breckenridge appears to have found a strong number of Newton-area sup-

porters.

Breckenridge’s committee reports contributions that go back to September, around the time he publicly announced his candidacy. There were about $9,300 in contributions to the Breckenridge campaign between Sept. 23 and Dec. 31, while Kelley had about $3,400 in that same period of time.

The reporting period runs the entire calendar year, Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2015. Kelley, who was elected to a third term in 2014, raised $5,345 in 2015,

A gentler approach New C-section procedure gains popularity in Newton

FUNDRAISING | 3A

NCSD to address 2016-17 YMCA contract Monday

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The first few moments a mother has with her newborn child is a memory that lasts a lifetime. For some mothers who have cesarean sections, that experience doesn’t happen for several hours after the birth of the baby.

Dr. Esgar Guarín, chair of the OB department at Skiff Medical Center and midwife Lacy Lundgren are working to change the culture surrounding C-sections and have introduced the Gentle C-Section, an alternative to the sterile surgery.

“A gentle C-section is a movement that started in the early 2000s.

It was a group of midwives in the UK that decided to actually give the patients a different experience,” Guarín said. “That was because patients were not having the connections of actually having been pregnant and then giving birth.

They were receiving a baby after having been numb and not feeling anything. They wanted to give that experience.”

A new view on an traditional procedure Through his training in Rhode Island, Guarín learned the practice of a gentle C-section and has since Submitted Photo been an advocate for the procedure, After having an emergency cesarean section with her first daughter, Olivia, Haespecially after his move to Newton. nah Miller was able to have an up-and-coming procedure, a gentle C-section, with her second daughter Amelya. The new take on the surgery lets moms have more contact with their babies during and after birth.

deadline of Jan. 19, 2015, that the committee had a balance of almost negative $2,300. While Kelley’s balance improved by more than $1,000, it had a Dec. 31 ending balance of almost negative $1,200.

Breckenridge’s campaign had 163 contributors — all of whom are individuals and most of whom live in Newton. A small amount came in through the political-action contribution website actblue.com.

The Newton Community School District board of education will have a variety of items to consider or act upon at Monday’s regular meeting, but none of the much-anticipated topics featured at recent meetings.

The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. in the Emerson Hough conference room.

One of the few action items on the agenda is to consider an agreement between the district and the Newton YMCA for hourly pool rental fees. This agreement would cover the fiscal school year that runs from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017.

The board is also set to hear a timeline update about the administration building.

Newton High School Principal Bill Peters will present a campus discipline report.

The board will then tackle the readings of the 200 series board policies from the Iowa Association of School Boards primer.

A budget committee meeting was scheduled to meet Thursday night, and a public budget work session will be held soon on a date to be determined.

Several other meetings will take place in the weeks ahead in the Emerson Hough conference room.

The Berg Complex Bond Committee will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

A public board work session with Heartland AEA regarding student assessment data is set for 6 p.m. on Feb. 15. The School Improvement Advisory Committee will meet at 5 p.m. on Feb. 17.

The district will be represented at the annual Greater Newton Chamber of Commerce meeting, set for Jan. 28.

Rally brings Bakken pipeline critics, proponents to state capitol

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Kathy Holdefer entered the reception room of Gov. Terry Branstad’s office Thursday at the Iowa State Capitol to describe the beauty of the land surrounding her rural Mingo home — an area in the path of the proposed Dakota Access Crude Oil Pipeline.

The governor did not show to address the several dozen protesters who marched into his office, following a rally against the pipeline project in the Capitol rotunda.

Holdefer has been a vocal opponent of the pipeline since it was first proposed for Jasper and 17 other Iowa

counties in mid-2014. She told the governor’s spokesperson she is concerned with a lack of oil spill response training given to local fire departments in the build up to the pipeline’s proposed construction.

Holdefer also said, she is not satisfied with the information given to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors about the pipeline development.

“You go to your county officials and you ask them to engage with the Iowa Utilities Board about this process and the decision. You hear three things,” she said. “One, there isn’t any information to give our small communities or a plan in place to respond to a spill; PIPELINE | 3A

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Labor Union members stood on the opposite side of the Iowa Capitol Building rotunda Thursday to counter a demonstration criticizing the permit process and potential construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Calendar What’s happening for the week of Jan. 25-29 Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton High School students fill a hallway on a recent school day between classes. NHS seniors will soon be able to gain work experience at business in the area under a new program called the Cardinal Career Connection.

NHS seniors can do ‘externships’ at area businesses

Students can do half-days during semester or full days during break

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Last spring, the Newton High School graduating class of 2015 was able to take an afternoon to do mock interviews with area employers at the Goodwill Career Connection Center.

Beginning soon, NHS seniors will have the option of working at one of those businesses in a unique type of internship arrangement called the Cardinal Career Connection.

At a Newton Community School District board meeting in December, Newton High School Principal Bill Peters proposed course changes and updates for the school’s 201617 academic handbook. One of those changes was to add an option to do “externships,” or onsite training, at businesses in the Jasper County area.

Miranda Kulis, the career center’s coordinator, said she and Peters and his staff are still “ironing out the kinks” in the program, but the main idea is that the students will have the chance to work alongside someone in their desired career field.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to expand our partnership with Newton High School and the internship program,” Kulis said. “We have a

multitude of business partners interested in all areas of experience and they have expressed their excitement at having the students in their businesses as well.”

While the program will be limited to the greater Newton area to avoid transportation issues, the program will offer seniors a half-day at a business, along with a half-day of regular classes at NHS. There will also be a shortened, accelerated version in which students are onsite for full-day sessions during breaks in the school year.

Peters said the course, called “Business Education (Cardinal Career Connections – Shadow Break & Internship),” is actually more of what he calls a “strand” than a full-fledged course. The program will officially be one the 2016-17 course offerings, but Peters said it’s possible NHS and the career center might be able to set up a few seniors for internships this spring.

“The Cardinal Career Connection is an internship opportunity for seniors,” Peters said.

“Students will provide the preference for an internship. Then, we work with Miranda from Goodwill to secure an business partner who is willing to provide the internship. Thus far, the businesspeople in town have

expressed a great willingness to provide these opportunities.”

Kulis said the program will allow seniors not only to see firsthand how to conduct themselves in a business environment, but also to help determine if that career field is right for them.

Even though the arrangements will be set up through the school and the career center, when the seniors are on-site, they answer to their supervisors in the business community.

“The student will be expected to demonstrate professionalism in accordance with the business’s best practices and will be expected to work with their mentor on a project or on daily tasks to better understand the profession they are interested in,” Kulis said. “The business mentor will then give the school and the student feedback on their performance.”

Kulis said the internships will allow NHS seniors to further determine if the industry or trade they’re investigating is the best-suited one for them.

“This will allow students the opportunity to better understand the career field they are thinking of going into,” she said.

Breckenridge also contributed $1,000 of his own personal money toward the campaign.

Breckenridge’s committee lists a Dec. 31 balance forward of about $8,300.

Kelley received contributions from 52 sources in 2015, 17 of whom are individuals who list a Newton address. His committee received contributions from eight separate political-action committees, including $1,000 from the Iowa Dental PAC. Bankers Unite in Legislative Decisions, or BUILD, made a $1,000 contribution on Dec. 22.

Kelley’s campaign spent more than $4,200 in 2015. That includes about $2,700 spent since Sept. 23; Breckenridge spent less than $1,800 in its first three months of existence.

Another legislator whose district includes part of Jasper County, Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia), started 2015 with a balance of more than $4,000 in his committee’s account. He raised about $2,500 in 2015 to finish with a balance of more than $5,300.

The primary is slated for June 7. There is one more reporting deadline before that date; reports due May 19 will cover contributions between Jan. 1 and May 14.

Judge Mott to speak at League of Women Voters meeting Newton Daily News Judge Tom Mott will give a program on the process and history of amending the constitution and constitutional convention at the League of Women Voters meeting on Thursday. The League will meet at Park Centre in the Garden Room at 7:30 p.m.

Mott was raised on a farm and attended public schools in Marion County. He attended the University of Iowa and earned a bachelor of arts and a juris doctor degree with distinction. He also served in the United States Navy.

In 1975, Mott entered private law practice in Newton. He has served as a judicial magistrate and associate judge. Currently, he serves as senior judge.

He and his wife, Nancy, have three children. Mott is active in Newton Rotary Club, OPEN, and the First Presbyterian Church.

He has joined the Newton churches’ medical missions to rural El Salvador on multiple occasions.

This will be an excellent program and provide timely insight into the process of amending the constitution and constitutional convention.

The public is encouraged to attend.

Two, although they largely agree with me that this pipeline is a bad idea for Iowa, they feel their voice has no place in the process; And three, even though they don’t like the situation, there’s already so much pipe stockpiled in our county that everybody already knows how this is going to come out.”

Activists, landowners and environmentalists from the Iowa Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition protested DAPL Thursday and questioned the IUB and Iowa Department of Natural Resources permitting processes.

Both agencies are currently reviewing Dakota Access, LLC’s permit application to build the pipeline through 18 Iowa counties. The protesters were met by a similar sized group of labor union workers in favor of the project, looking on from across the hall and the rotunda balcony.

Energy Transfer Partners — the parent company of Dakota Access, LLC — has been pushing the development of the Bakken oil pipeline — stretching from North Dakota to a hub Patoka, Ill. — for the last 1.5 years. The pipeline would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day through the state. ETP is hoping to lay 343.43 miles of underground pipe in Iowa, with 33.73 miles in rural areas of Jasper County from Mingo through rural Reasnor.

The IUB announced Tuesday it will host a public meeting in the hearing room at 1375 E. Court Ave. in Des Moines from Feb. 8-11. According to a meeting notice posted to the the IUB website, the board may consider a motion to hold a closed session to discuss the decision regarding whether to award Dakota Access, LLC a permit to construct the crude oil pipeline and grant eminent domain rights through 18 Iowa counties.

Detractors again Thursday called for Branstad to block the development of the pipeline. In

a letter delivered to the governor’s office, the coalition called for the governor to convene a public meeting before IUB deliberations begin.

Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement activist Nathan Malachowski was one of several Bakken coalition members to take to the podium in the rotunda and question the environmental safety of transporting oil underground via pipeline, calling the energy source outdated.

Malachowski challenged the integrity of the IUB process.

“What’s worse, we sort of already know how they’re going to rule, don’t we? While I hope that IUB will stand with Iowans, I’m a little skeptical that will be the case,” Malachowski said.

Directly across the rotunda, Iowa labor union members and construction workers — who could benefit from temporary jobs created by the pipeline’s construction — stood with signs reading “IA Skilled Trades —

“I have every intention of being on the pipeline,” Woodside said. “I was on a pipeline job that was up in Marshalltown, and I can tell you from being on that there’s nothing better than having a pipeline come through for job creation when we put it in and in the future.

Tales of a winter birthday

By Pam Rodgers Associate Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Jan. 22, 2016

Your birthday should always be a special day. It’s the day your story begins and is something you will acknowledge for the rest of your life.

As for me, mine is extra special because I share it with my best friend, partner-in-crime and twin sister, Trish. Being a twin is truly one of the best blessings I have ever received.

As awesome as birthdays are, mine falls in February — a winter month. There is one thing people born in December, January and February (and at times November and March) can understand — the limits that come with having a birthday smack dab in the cold, snowy season.

I’ll state the obvious one first, it can snow on your birthday. Plans are always tentative because you never know what Mother Nature might have in store for you on your big day. In the past five years, I can think of at least three times there was a

blizzard on my birthday. It was not fun. Admittedly, there have been a few times that I have enjoyed a birthday free of weather worries when it has been unseasonably warm with no snow on the ground, but don’t try planning on that. I know I live in Iowa; after all, anything can happen — like snowing in May. Because of the snow, any ideas of an outside celebration are out.

Unless you are really into wintery, outdoorsy activities (I am not one of those people), most of the festivities are required to happen indoors. One year, my brother, who was born in October, had his friends over for his birthday, and they had a scavenger hunt. They ran through the house and all over outside finding clues and prizes. It sounded like a blast. The closest Trish and I came to that was getting a pool party in a hotel, once. While it was fun, yes, it was not like being in the great outdoors.

Winter also means cold and flu season, so you are more likely to be sick on your birthday. We are susceptible to illness all year round, but these are the months you are most likely going to catch some sort of “bug.” These viruses flourish in the cold, dry air making it so your body’s immune system can’t fight off the infections as well. Being sick on your birthday is the pits. You want to be happy and celebrate, but your body just wants rest, fluids and “Game of Thrones” marathons (maybe the last one is just me).

Another thing about winter birthdays is it is so close to Christmas. I realize mine is in February so there is some separation, but it’s basically Christmas, birthday and wait 10 months for the next round. While there are plenty of holidays and fun events to be excited about in those 10 months, I consider Christmas and birthday to be at the top of the list. Our Savior was born

and God blessed you with life — can’t get more important than that.

Despite all the drawbacks a winter birthday can have, it is still something I look forward to every year. Winter has never been my favorite season, but having a birthday in the middle of it gives you something to anticipate, especially because it’s not just my day. Whether it’s on the actual day or a few days late, I always get to spend time with my sister. If I get nothing else for my birthday, seeing her is the best present I can get.

So to all of you who have a winter birthday like me, know that you are not alone. We all can sympathize with years of practice adjusting our plans. Despite the drawbacks, whenever you get together for your birthday, it is something to be celebrated.

specialists will not accept Medicaid or restrict the number of patients they will take. And to see a dentist, as far as I know at this time, you have to go out of town.

On March 1, when the private insurance companies take over, many health professionals will refuse to receive Medicaid patients any more. The health professionals will be required to deal with different private insurance companies instead of having just one place to go to for payment. Also, the health professionals will be required

to call each insurance company on each patient for almost every treatment to get permission. So of course, this will result in delayed treatment. And the state will be spending more money because of problems with delayed treatment. And people who require mental health treatment, may not be able to see a psychiatrist or find any other treatment because of the shortage which already exists in this area. Fortunately, my husband and I were able to leave this system behind as of Jan. 1 this year.

gram and the number of Newton students receiving weekly bags has increased to 117 students at present. The Food Bank of Iowa currently provides nutritious food to more than 5,000 children at 139 sites in central Iowa every week. In anticipation of the program continuing to expand, the Food Bank of Iowa has recently changed the way in which foods are supplied.

Pre-packed bags will continue to provide weekend nutrition to the students but will not require as many volunteers.

We would like to recognize and thank the following groups whose volunteer efforts made the program happen: the Salvation Army for use of their truck to collect food and bring it to Newton; St. Luke United Methodist Church for storing the inventory and allowing us space for monthly packing mornings; Hy-Vee for donating plastic bags to hold the food items; Newton Rotary Club for helping deliver bins of packed bags to the ele-

mentary schools; and the organizations that spent a Saturday morning assembling the bags: Newton Rotary Club, First Baptist Church, Xi Delta Eta Sorority, St. Luke United Methodist Church, Newton Noon Kiwanis Club, Newton High School Girls Varsity Basketball Team, Knights of Columbus, Golden K Kiwanis Club, Lions Club, First United Methodist Church, Congregational United Church of Christ, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Seventh Day Adventist Church, First Lutheran Church, Aktion Kiwanis Club, First Presbyterian Church. We also thank the school personnel who handled the distribution of the bags to the students.

Time involvement by volunteers has been reduced but the financial need will grow as the program expands. Groups and individuals are encouraged to consider donations to the Food Bank of Iowa earmarked for the Newton Feeding America Backpack Program.

I’m a cautious person by nature — well, maybe it was environmental conditioning.

W hen I was young, I grew up hearing “someone alw a y s sees everything By Dana King you do.”

I’m not sure if that meant God or the nosy neighbors, but I wasn’t taking any chances. Somehow I still managed to have plenty of fun.

In high school, I didn’t stray far off the expected path. Same thing with my group of friends — girls I’d known since grade school. We certainly had our share of fun, it’s just we weren’t the delinquent, trouble-making kind.

Oh, there was the time our parents heard about our escapades over the police scanner. And the time we accidentally did numerous 360s on Business Highway 71— in plain sight of everyone enjoying their Papa Burger and root beer at the A&W in Clarinda — while cruising in a Chevy Caprice belonging to the parents of one of my girlfriends. There was also the time we left an old Suburban teetering on a gravel roadside, afraid it would roll in the ditch if we didn’t make our escape in perfect unison.

But when you’re from a small rural community and the nearest city is 90 minutes away… the weekend night-life basically consisted of scooping the loop right in our own little town — a 4-mile trek at 30 mph from the A&W to the Supervalu and back.

Although we’re now spread out across several states, each fall those same ‘girls’ and I take turns hosting a weekend together and it’s like we’ve never been apart. Over the years, our conversations have gone from boyfriends to

husbands, childbirth to grandchildren, Boone’s Farm to wine aerators, and diapers to Depends.

(In case you’re under any misconception... girlfriends really do talk about EVERYTHING — no matter what their age!)

So anyway…

I recently went out with another group of friends. It wasn’t an expensive evening, we didn’t have to look up the number for a bail-bondsman and we each arrived safely back in our own homes after a nearly 7-hour outing.

This is a group of gals I didn’t grow up with. In fact, most of us are not even originally from the same areas of the state.

Our ages span more years than I can count on two hands. Our common denominator is we are a few moms of some of the boys from the high school class of 2014. We’ve been in the trenches together and we’ve come out the other side.

But our friendships didn’t cease May 25, 2014 — graduation day.

Although we’re no longer warming the metal bleachers together, or decorating high school lockers prior to a playoff game, we still get together. And all it takes is an email asking, “Who’s ready?”

In fact, we have an upcoming weekend together planned. It’s our annual Mom’s Group trip we’ve been indulging in for many years.

Our activities during the weekend are highly confidential, but I believe I can safely tell you it involves extreme fits of laughter, excessive amounts of food and hotel rooms with thermostats set at 30 degree differences.

The point is, it really doesn’t matter where you are, what you’re doing or how much money you spend, it’s the people with whom you choose to celebrate your time.

Travelers want to be greeted by best friend at trip’s end DEAR ABBY: We recently lost our dog, a 13-year-old springer spaniel, to old age. His passing has left a huge hole in our hearts and lives. We miss his companionship, his personality and the structure that caring for him brought to our lives. We’re 51 and 60, own our home and are financially secure.

Some of our friends are discouraging us from adopting another dog.

They say we travel too much. Last year we spent 12 weeks away from home.

When we travel, we hire a trusted pet sitter to move into the house and attend to all our dog’s needs. Our pet always seemed happy and healthy when we returned.

I anticipate that we will continue to travel a similar amount in the future, but I’m not sure we will enjoy coming home to a house that has no dog to welcome us back. Abby, should a retired couple who travels adopt a dog?

— PET LOVER IN MEXICO DEAR PET LOVER: At ages 51 and 60, if you and your husband are in good health, I see no reason why you shouldn’t adopt another dog if you wish. Consider adopting one that is no longer a puppy. Shelters and rescue organizations are good places to adopt an older dog that needs a loving home.

DEAR ABBY: My neighbor complains of cars honking at 8 in the morning. I have done this only three times when I have taken my son to school. I wait in the car for him, but if he’s late by a couple of minutes, I’ll honk.

The neighbors think it’s rude because they have a 3-year-old who’s asleep at that time. Do I confront them? What do you suggest? — ON A SCHEDULE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR ON A SCHEDULE: Knowing it will awaken your neighbor’s child, refrain from honking the horn. If you need your son to hurry up, use your cellphone and call the house.

Or, turn your engine off, lock the car

and go inside and get him.

DEAR ABBY: My friend of 25 years, “Violet,” moved back to town a few months ago after living far away for the last 10 years. Whereas we’ve always called and confided in each other often, now that she’s here, I rarely see her, never talk with her and receive polite but curt refusals to do anything together.

I know the move was stressful for her, and I suspect the problem is more about her than me. But I am really hurt, and I miss her. My last request to get together and talk was met with, “I’m only doing what I feel I can enjoy and manage.” It seems like that doesn’t include our friendship.

Should I simply leave my old friend alone, or is there something you can suggest? — JUST PLAIN SAD DEAR SAD: Write Violet a short, sweet note. Tell her that you care about her, have always treasured her friendship and hope it will continue. Let her know that when she feels like talking, you will be there for her. It’s really all you can do at this point.

After that, the ball will be in her court and you should NOT sit by the phone waiting for a call. Go on with your life and your other friendships as before. If she responds, terrific. If not, it will be her loss. Do not make it yours.

URBANDALE — A Wisconsin man was arrested on charges that he led police on a car chase that ended when he collided with a bus. A motorist called police to report a reckless driver Wednesday evening.

Urbandale police followed the vehicle for about two minutes before it struck a Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority bus and stopped in a yard. Officers charged the driver, 23-year-old Zachary Senger of Sparta, Wisconsin, with operating a vehicle while intoxicated among other charges.

University of Iowa to create bias response team IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa says it expects to have a bias assessment response team in place on campus by the end of the current semester. Reports that the proposed team, which would be known as BART, would address complaints of racial or other bias on campus concerning incidents that “skirt the line between a policy violation or even a crime.” The school’s chief diversity officer, Georgina Dodge, said Wednesday that the team will be somewhat modeled after one at Ohio State University.

stealing car, multiple crashes

DAVENPORT — A 12-year-old is facing multiple charges after police say the child stole a vehicle and was involved in several crashes, including slamming into a police car.

Davenport police received a report of a stolen vehicle Wednesday morning, followed by reports of a hit-and-run crash and a vehicle hitting a mailbox.

An officer in an unmarked police car followed the vehicle and managed to block it at a gasoline station.

5 Iowa receives $97M grant for water quality, flood reduction

DES MOINES — Iowa has received a nearly $97 million federal grant to tackle the state’s water quality and flood challenges. Gov. Terry Branstad, state and local leaders, including the city of Dubuque, are expected to meet Friday afternoon to discuss the grant. Governor spokesman Ben Hammes says the money will help accelerate water quality efforts and flood reduction in key watersheds in Iowa.

—The Associated Press

Ex-Iowa agent asks justices to allow wrongful firing claim DES MOINES (AP) — A law enforcement officer who was fired after complaining about Gov. Terry Branstad’s speeding state vehicle was just doing his job and should be able to sue for wrongful termination, his attorney told the Iowa Supreme Court on Thursday.

Justices heard oral arguments in a lawsuit brought by Larry Hedlund, a former Division of Criminal Investigation special agent in charge.

The 25-year veteran was fired in 2013 days after complaining to superiors about an incident in which a trooper driving Branstad was let go without a warning or ticket after being clocked driving 19 mph over the speed limit on a state highway. Hedlund said he was planning to report the incident to prosecutors and that it was part of a pattern of dangerous speeding by troopers who drive the governor and lieutenant governor.

He was removed from duty days later.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety denied that Hedlund was fired for his complaint, saying he had made “negative and disrespectful comments” about its leaders and policies.

Justices are considering Hed-

lund’s claim that he was discharged in violation of public policy since, as a sworn officer, he was required by law to enforce traffic laws. A trial judge dismissed the claim, ruling that it wasn’t recognized in Iowa and that Hedlund didn’t need additional job protections because state officers can challenge their firings through administrative proceedings.

Hedlund’s attorney, Tom Duff, asked the high court to overturn that ruling. He said the only way Hedlund could be compensated for the emotional distress and reputational damage he’s suffered is through a court case, and that the only remedy available through an administrative hearing would be his reinstatement.

Assistant attorney general Jeff Peterzalek argued that Hedlund “doesn’t even get his foot in the door” for a wrongful termination claim. He said lawmakers have given state officers adequate protections against politically motivated firings by allowing them to appeal through the Employment Appeal Board and that they get paid until their terminations are final.

Justices are expected to rule later this year. Hedlund is now working as a Fort Dodge officer.

IISC program potential resource for beautifying Colfax corridor

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune Jasper County’s seven Hometown Pride communities each submitted a handful of project proposals to the University of Iowa in an effort to partner with the school through the Iowa Initiative Sustainable Communities program.

IISC is a learning program at UI that partners with communities across Iowa to develop and complete projects while providing academic experiences.

Submissions from Iowa communities will be accepted through the end of January and UI will selected two communities to partner with for a two-year period.

Jasper County’s community coach Jeff Davidson said UI will have a decision by March. If admitted into the program, 12 to 15 of the 22 proposals submitted by the seven Jasper County Hometown Pride communities will then be selected as future UI projects.

“The idea is to bring in some research assistance from the university. Some of these UI departments are really nationally renowned in terms of some of the research they’re doing and we would love to be able to use some of that in our hometown pride committee,” Davidson

an extensive trail system now in the Des Moines area,” Davidson said.

“That’s the kind of stuff where you really need the expertise.”

The housing market is also a key area to consider for many small communities near a larger metro area like Des Moines.

Baxter and Colfax — along with Newton, Monroe and Prairie City — have proposed to conduct housing market analyses through UI to asses the adequacy of housing products if chosen by the university.

Other plans of it because there’s such want to live there.”

The Prairie City Hometown Pride Committee drew up two other proposals for the IISC project including the examination of how to improve the relationship between the town of Prairie City and Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge.

The refuge is one of Prairie City’s biggest assets when it comes to tourism. It recently installed bike lanes on the four-mile road entering the refuge from Highway 163 to become more connected with the city and the trails around town.

Prairie City’s Hometown Pride committee proposes the city, with the help of UI, examine how to better that relationship.

Another IISC proposal is, with the help of UI, to examine the operation of the EMS and police departments in both Prairie City and Monroe. The committee would also want to examine how to improve the efficiency of the EMS and police departments of both communities.

Each city’s police department has one chief, two full-time officers and a handful of parttime officers. As for fire and EMS crew members, they are primarily volunteers.

Iowa House panel OKs bill over gun rights in emergency DES MOINES (AP) — State officials would lose their legal authority to restrict gun owners’ lawful use of weapons during emergencies under a measure an Iowa House panel advanced Thursday, one of several proposals being considered this session seeking to expand gun rights.

During a brief meeting, a divided three-member panel from the House Judiciary Committee signed off on the bill, which now heads to the full committee.

It needs approval there before it could be available to the full House.

The bill would specify that state officials cannot prohibit, regulate or curtail lawful gun possession during a public disorder or disaster emergency proclamation.

Current law allows state officials to do so, through a provision under emergency management and security. It says in such instances, state officials may suspend or limit the sale, dispensing or transportation of firearms, as well as alcohol, explosives and combustibles.

Critics of the bill say such a situation would be rare.

Hit the Ice Mike Mendenhall/ Prairie City News Lark Drake, left, and Skylar Burns, both of Prairie City, keep cool on the ice Saturday at the grand opening celebration of Prairie City’s new ice skating rink on East Fifth Street between the city tennis courts and the Prairie City First Reformed Church Family Life Center. The $4,800 removable rink — a Prairie City Park and Recreation Board project — was fully funded by a Wellmark Community Foundation grant and is free to the public from 9 a.m .to 9 p.m., seven days per week.

Janet Rosenbury, a board member of Iowans for Gun Safety, also said the bill would not be helpful to law enforcement trying to do their jobs in such scenarios.

“It undermines the confidence and respect of police and law enforcement,” she said.

Rep. Matt Windschitl, R-Missouri Valley, sponsored the bill and said it would protect Second Amendment rights.

“I don’t want Iowans’ constitutional rights to be arbitrary undermined by this administration or any future administration,” he said. “I’m not saying that it would happen, but sometimes we have to protect against the ‘what-ifs’ out there.”

Windschitl, whose family owns a gun store in Missouri Valley, has introduced several bills this session that focus on expanding gun rights. They include measures that failed to gain enough traction last session, such as a bill that would remove the age limit for children to use a handgun with a parent’s supervision and legislation that would legalize the use of suppressors to help silence weapons.

C-Section Continued from Page 1A “Nothing is different in terms of the actual surgery because you still have to get the baby out of the belly. The difference is the attitude towards the actual surgery. That is the main thing perhaps, because it is not a procedure for the surgery itself, it is actually a procedure for the birth of a child,” Guarín said.

In a gentle C-section, the surgery starts the same way but the atmosphere is transformed to seem less surgical — lights are dimmed and patients can listen to music.

The patient receives anesthesia and the surgery begins with the blue drape up, much like a standard C-section. The changes start after the baby is beginning to emerge at birth.

“We deliver the baby up to its shoulders, then we drop the drapes and allow the mom to see the baby. We can let the baby come out slowly and she sees the entire delivery. The ideal would be to do the delayed cord clamp, then cut the cord and bring the baby on the chest of mom,” Guarín said.

Guarín said they work to involve the patient more by delaying the clamping of the cord, which he said reduces the risk of anemia at the six month mark.

They also promote early skin to skin contact with the baby going to the chest quicker than in a standard C-section, which in most cases never happens.

Lundgren said that as a midwife, she attracts a lot of women who either want a natural birth or want an experience as close to it as possible.

“I would say that all of my women who are having a repeat C-section want this. They look forward to it. Women only have a few children in a lifetime and you always remember what is said

A better experience Hanah Miller of Newton, is a mother of two. She delivered her oldest daughter with an emergency C-section at Skiff.

“I was totally knocked out for it, not involved and had no awareness of what was happening. It was hours before I got to see the baby after,” Miller said.

“It was scary. We were in delivery, everything was going normally, then all of a sudden, nope, we are going to do an emergency C-section.”

Miller said following the birth, she had postpartum depression that left her crying and worrying at all times of the day. Also, while eventually very successful, she said the first few weeks of breast feeding left her in tears.

When she became pregnant again, she knew she wanted a different experience. She made contact with Lundgren and began working on a birthing plan that would hopefully lead to better, positive memories.

“Working with Lacy and Dr. Guarín, they explained everything that could happen, that was happening, they weren’t trying to hide anything from me, I felt included in the process.

Knowing that even if something didn’t go as planned, they made me and my husband feel comfortable,” Miller said.

Miller was able to experience the gentle C-section with her second child, who was born Nov. 23, 2015.

“For my own emotional health, being able to see her right when she came out, hold her, touch her and hear her ... being able to have that time with her,

“The physician or midwife that you see during prenatal care is the same person who is there at birth, the C-section. Dr. Guarín does prenatal care, as opposed to being pushed off on a surgeon who you have met one time. Your providers are there with you,” Lundgren said.

Submitted Photo Amelya Miller was born on Nov. 23, 2015 at Skiff Medical Center as doctors used the new gentle C-section surgery.

about 15 minutes right after she was born, that was way better,” Miller said.

“I feel this time it was a much quicker connection.”

Guarín said having the mother and baby together has many advantages including anxiety and pain control.

In both natural and C-sections, the mother could have severe pain, but as the natural endorphins kick in, she will seemingly feel no pain.

“We don’t stop the surgery, we continue the surgery, but mom totally forgets about me because she is entertained with her precious bundle on her chest.

We keep track of the baby’s temperature and we wrap the baby on top of mom, when mom and baby are in contact skin to skin. We finish the surgery and mom doesn’t even know,” Guarín said.

Another advantage patients find with Guarín and Lundgren is a dual prenatal care provided by both the midwife and surgeon.

Safety always top priority Both Guarín and Lundgren stressed that safety is always the No. 1 priority for both baby and mother when going into a C-section. Should the procedure take a turn away from standard, the gentle C-section would no longer be an option.

“The basic premise of the whole experience is that everyone is safe. If there is a concern of the safety of the baby or mother we don’t do it. It is always in those low risk cases that we do it,” Guarín said. “We usually do it with low-risk cases. If you have a patient high blood pressure, very high risk, you are not going to do it because you are always going to be thinking about the safety of the patient.”

Guarín and Lundgren are both planning to continue pushing to further the gentle C-section protocol at Skiff. They also hope to one day offer traditional births as a first option for women who have already had a C-section.

“It took some people to look at how they feel or how they felt during their own C-section to try to make a different. Things don’t have to be the same way they have been as long as we continue to think about the safety of the patient,” Guarín said.

Pack it with red and black for Cardinal teams

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Aaron King, a senior, captured first place in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly races Thursday for Newton during a double dual at Grinnell. King also swam on the winning 200 medley relay. Newton beat Williamsburg and tied host Grinnell.

Newton swimmers win, tie opponents

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — Newton Cardinal swimmers did something Thursday their coach hadn’t seen before — tie a team in dual action.

“We tied with Grinnell, 52-52. I’ve never seen that happen before,” Newton head coach Dave Hook said.

“Overall, our guys did sur-

prisingly well for their third meet in a week. We had some significant time drops on a night the guys were tired.”

Newton captured an 8617 win over Williamsburg in the double dual at Grinnell.

Grinnell beat Williamsburg, 89-14.

Aaron King, a senior, claimed two individual event wins for Newton. King won the 50-yard freestyle in 23.19

seconds and the 100-yard butterfly in a personal-best time of 56.87 seconds.

King combined with sophomore Jacob Knoll, junior Paul Maharry and freshman Adam Hunter to win the 200 medley relay to start the meet. The foursome’s winning time was 1 minute, 54.95 seconds.

Newton had the thirdplace time in the medley re-

lay also. Seniors Zach Theis and Chet Adams combined with freshmen Deklan Lewis and Mason Lee for a 2:08.89.

Knoll won the 100 backstroke in 1:06.43 and Lewis was fourth in 1:13.08.

Maharry touched first in the breaststroke in 1:13.32 with Theis in third place at 1:18.52.

Cardinals notch double dual split

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Caleb Kite locks up with an opponent at a home meet earlier this season. Kite went 1-1 Thursday when the Cardinals competed at a double dual in Indianola. Newton lost to host Indianola and defeated Des Moines Roosevelt.

INDIANOLA — On the night the new individual rankings came out, Newton High senior Hunter Versteegh made a statement on the wrestling mat in front of his opponent’s home crowd.

Versteegh had been ranked 10th in Class 3A’s 113-pound division, but fell out of the top 10 rankings this week. He faced Indianola’s Lance Runyon, who is ranked No. 8 in 3A, with Newton trailing its host 30-3 in Thursday’s dual.

Versteegh used a first-period takedown and a reversal for two points in the second period to notch a 4-0 victory. It was one of three wins the Cardinals had against the Indians, who are ranked No. 10 in Class 3A in dual action by the Iowa Wrestling Coaches and

Officials Association.

Senior Duncan Lee moved down a weight class recently. Lee had been ranked all season in the 3A 195-pound class. In the new rankings, Lee is sitting at No. 8 in the 182-pound class as the only Newton wrestler ranked.

Lee captured a 5-2 win over Indianola’s Dom Endrizal at 182.

Despite being down 57-6, the Cardinals ended the dual with the Indians with style. Senior Bryce Tish pinned Indianola’s Brayden Elbert at the 2 minute, 44-second mark of their 152-pound match.

“It was an up and down night for us,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said of Newton’s split of a double dual. The Cardinals lost 57-12 to Indianola and defeated Des Moines Roosevelt, 41-33.

Thunder drop 14 treys in win over Colfax-Mingo

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo boys basketball coach John Borts knew what was coming.

He knew undefeated Grand View Christian could shoot it from long range.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much Borts or his Tigerhawks could do to force the Thunder to miss those shots.

Grand View Christian buried seven treys to grab a lead in the first quarter and finished with 14 in the game during a 77-59 win over the Tigerhawks in non-conference action here Thursday.

“When they dribble penetrate and we help defensively, they’ll dish it off for an open shot,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said.

“You just can’t keep people from shooting the ball. They are good at it, too.

“They have a ton of 3-point shooters. There wasn’t any surprises at all. We just hoped we could play well enough that they wouldn’t be as effective.”

Colin Lourens had another big game for the Tigerhawks, but it wasn’t enough to slow down a Thunder team who is defeating their opponents by more than 40 points per game.

Blake Summy scored the first points of the game, but back-toback triples by Stephen Glenn and Grant DeMeulenaere got the Thunder rolling and they never looked back in improving to 13-0 on the season.

TIGERHAWKS | 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Colin Lourens scores on a finger roll in the lane Thursday night against Grand View Christian in Colfax. Lourens had 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, but the Tigerhawks lost to the Thunder, 77-59.

Little Hawkeye Conference basketball teams are at the halfway point of conference play.

Ne w ton High’s Cardinal boys and girls open the second round of LHC competition Friday night at home. Pella Christian comes to Newton.

In December, By Jocelyn Sheets Newton’s girls Newton Daily won and the News boys lost on the Sports Editor Eagles’ court.

The Cardinal teams have an opportunity to make waves in the LHC standings in this second half of contests. Newton plays four of its final conference doubleheaders at home. The Cardinals have back-to-back home games with Pella and Norwalk to wrap up conference play in February.

So, what do you say Cardinal faithful — how about packing the friendly confines of NHS gym with the red and black? Bring your energy to support the Cardinal girls and boys on their final run of the season through the Little Hawkeye Conference basketball competition.

Right now, Class 3A, topranked Pella sits atop the boys’ standings at 6-0 with Norwalk in second at 4-2. There’s a threeway tie for third with Newton, Dallas Center-Grimes and Grinnell with 3-3 conference marks and 8-4 overall records.

Pella Christian’s boys, who are ranked 12th in 2A, is 2-4 in conference play and 7-4 overall.

The Cardinal boys are ready to avenge the loss to the Eagles in December.

In the girls’ standings of the LHC, there is a logjam at the top. Three ranked teams — No. 8 Pella, No. 11 Grinnell and No. 13 Dallas Center-Grimes — have 5-1 conference records. Pella lost to DCG, DCG lost to Grinnell and Grinnell lost to Pella.

Norwalk is fourth at 3-3.

Newton’s girls are 2-4 in the conference and 7-7 overall.

They are looking for a kickstart to winning again. They have an opportunity Friday against Pella Christian, which is 1-5 in conference play. Oskaloosa is 0-6.

We’re on the final stretch of high school winter sports.

Postseason action is coming up fast on the horizon.

Basketball is not my favorite sport. Now, wait a minute before you throw me under the bus. I grew up in a wrestling family so I come by it naturally. Basketball is a sport I can take or leave. I don’t watch much college, and really don’t care much for the NBA. I do love Kansas State and follow all its teams. Just Wednesday night, the K-State men pushed No. 13 Baylor to two overtimes in Waco, Texas, before losing 79-72. The Wildcats are 11-7 overall and 1-5 in Big 12 play.

Six of Kansas State’s losses have been against Top 25 teams, four in the Big 12. The Wildcats, the nation’s youngest team with seven true freshmen, lost 10-point games to No. 2 North Carolina and No. 10 Texas A&M before league play. They previously lost conference games to No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 6 West Virginia and No. 19 Iowa State — and the WVU game was also in double overtime.

That’s hanging tough!

C-M girls show promise in loss to ranked GVC

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — For two and a half quarters, the Colfax-Mingo girls’ basketball team played Class 1A No. 8 Grand View Christian point for point.

The Tigerhawks held an 8-2 lead in the first few minutes, trailed by just three after one quarter and were still within six in the third quarter.

Unfortunately the Thunder’s full-court pressure caught up to the home team and 42 turnovers were too much to overcome in a 63-35 loss during non-conference action here Thursday.

“The press hurt us the whole time. We got lucky a few times,” Colfax-Mingo coach Michelle Grant said.

“The only problem tonight was the press. If we handled the press better, it’s a totally different ball game.”

Grand View Christian (130) ended the second quarter on an 8-0 run to lead by 10 at halftime. It also finished the third on a 13-0 spurt that improved a six-point advantage to 19 after three quarters.

Dakota Hostetter had the best game of her career, scoring 15 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in the loss.

“She played the game of her life. I don’t know where it came from, but it better not go away,” Grant said of Hostetter.

Ries Wilson, who played with a migraine, pulled down 14 boards, too, and Amy Russell had six points and seven rebounds.

Hostetter put the Tigerhawks (4-11) up 4-0 with baskets on C-M’s first two possessions of the game. Mackensie Brown and McKeely Tjaden scored a basket each to give the Tigerhawks an 8-2 lead, and they stayed close the rest of the quarter.

Baskets by Hostetter in the second frame kept the Tigerhawks close. A putback made it 17-16 and then another hoop inside the lane answered consecutive buckets by the Thunder to make it 21-18.

Hostetter scored her 10th point of the half when her jumper cut the Thunder’s lead to 24-22, but the visitors led by 10 at halftime as Megan Stubbs and Katie Hall combined to score the final eight points of the half.

Stubbs finished with a game-high 22 points, while Hall collected 17 points.

Before the Thunder went on a 13-0 run in the third quarter, Colfax-Mingo got buckets from Russell, Brown and Hostetter to stay within six early in the period.

The Thunder outscored the Tigerhawks 15-6 in the third and 16-7 in the fourth and stayed unbeaten on the season.

“We had players that played well, but we just got blown out in the second half,” Grant said.

“I was impressed tonight with girls that won’t show up on the stat sheet. I thought Mac Brown played really good defensively, and Reagan Nichol did a really good job tonight.

Keely (Tjaden) only had four points, but I thought she played better than what four points shows.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Dakota Hostetter (22) scored 15 points and had 14 rebounds during the Tigerhawks’ loss to Class 1A No. 8 Grand View Christian on Thursday.

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B

Lourens did tie the game at 7-all with a bucket inside, but Robbie Seyler hit backto-back 3-pointers to put GVC up 15-9 and his four trey of the period made it 2513.

Glenn, who nailed the seventh 3-pointer in the first quarter to give the Thunder a 28-13 lead after one quarter, finished with a team-high 24 points in the win.

“They were just red-hot, and we couldn’t do anything about it,” Borts said.

“We missed six shots within five feet from the basket in the first quarter and that didn’t help. I wasn’t impressed with their defense either. There were all kinds of holes for us to take advantage of, but we played a little nervous in the first half.”

Seyler scored 12 and freshman big man Arturo Montes and DeMeulenaere gave the visitors four in double-figures with 10 and 12, respectively. DeMeulenaere joined the Thunder’s roster at semester and played in his sixth game Thursday.

Colfax-Mingo couldn’t get close enough to make things interesting, but did make a run in the third quarter.

The Tigerhawks trailed by 19 at halftime. Lourens scored six straight to close the gap to 14, but another run by the Thunder pushed their advantage back to 20 and they led by 22 after three quarters.

“We started to do that for awhile in the third, and we made a little run, but then we had some break downs defensively and they got some easy ones and the lead went back to what it was at halftime,” Borts said.

“We just couldn’t chip it away enough in the third to make it interesting in the fourth.”

An 18-3 run by the Thunder, who received votes in the latest Associated Press Class 1A poll, gave them their largest lead of the game at 29 in the fourth quarter.

“Our passing wasn’t near as good as it’s capable of being, and we didn’t catch the ball clean sometimes,” Borts said. “We had chances. We are capable of playing with that team.

“Would we beat that team if we played better? You can’t ever say that. But I know that game could be interesting in the fourth quarter if we play like I think we can play.”

Lourens scored 28 points after scoring 29 on Tuesday night in a win over North Mahaska. The senior forward also grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out three assists.

“He is playing really hard. Our team in general is playing hard. This game was perhaps a good example of how you have to play on every trip on both ends of the floor if you want to be a team like Grand View. They showed us how to play and maybe it will help us step up our level from here on out.”

Tigerhawk grapplers avenge loss to SICL foe Lynnville-Sully

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NORTH ENGLISH — The last time Colfax-Mingo went head-to-head with South Iowa Cedar League foe Lynnville-Sully, the Tigerhawks let a big lead get away from them.

In the early-season meeting, the Hawks won the final matches of the dual and defeated C-M by six points. Thursday, the Tigerhawks once again got out to a lead and this time finished off the win with ease.

Colfax-Mingo recorded five pins in the dual to defeat Lynnville-Sully 43-22, and the Tigerhawks ended up 2-0 on the night following a 51-21 win over English Valleys.

“It was best night of wrestling we’ve had all year,” Colfax-Mingo coach Erin Hume said. “Each and every guy showed up to compete and gave everything they could. It was a great group effort tonight.”

Ty Carlson (27-11), Joe Carolus (6-2), Adam Teed, Will Dunsbergen, Colton Lourens (20-10), Nick Barnes, Ben Mead, and Garrett Chapman (21-11) all went 2-0 on the night.

Teed and Chapman won both of their matches by fall, Lourens had a pin and a 9-2 victory and Dunsbergen won 10-3 and 13-2 in his two matches.

Lynnville-Sully went 1-1 on the night as the Hawks claimed a 49-24 win over English Valleys.

Sage Zylstra and Max Knapp each had two wins by fall, while Kyle Kramer had one pin and a

win by 13-0 major decision.

Carlson started the dual with Lynnville-Sully with a win by pin over Josh Dunsbergen at 120 pounds. Carlson is 3-1 against Dunsbergen this season.

Carolus (126), who transferred in from Newton at semester, and Teed (132) also claimed pins to give the Tigerhawks an early 18-0 lead.

Zylstra (138) got the Hawks on the board with a pin against Jordan Lescaleet, but Dunsbergen (145) made it 22-6 with a major decision victory over Bryson Barnett.

Three straight wins by the Hawks tied the dual at 22-all, but Lourens (182) defeated Hardin 9-2, Barnes earned a win by forfeit and Mead (220) and Chapman (285) finished off the win with back-to-back wins by fall.

The Tigerhawks had four forfeit wins against English Valleys. Those came from Carlson, Carolus, Barnes and Mead.

Teed, Reese Arndt (170), Lourens and Chapman all won by fall. Dunsbergen won the other match 10-3.

For the Hawks, Zylstra, Kramer (160), Hardin (182) and Knapp (160) all won their matches by fall against English Valleys. Josh Dunsbergen and Ty Breeden (126) both took forfeit wins, while Carson Dunsbergen (132) won 10-1 and Aaron Vander Krol (220) scored an 8-2 win.

MONROE — The Prairie City-Monroe boys’ basketball team faced another first-quarter deficit Thursday night during a matchup against Class 3A Fairfield.

But like so many other times this season, the Mustangs found a way to rally. PCM trailed 19-9 after one quarter but outscored the Trojans in every other quarter the rest of the way during a 55-48 home victory.

The Mustangs (10-5) outscored Fairfield 1410 in the second quarter, but put the game away with a 32-19 surplus in the final two frames.

Luke Greiner led the Mustangs with 24 points and five rebounds. Greiner was 7-of-9 from the freethrow line. Logan Gilman added 16 points and four rebounds and he was 8-of-11 from line. PCM made 17of-22 from the charity stripe on the night.

Andrew Van Ryswyk scored six points, grabbed six rebounds and delivered three assists, while Mark Bruxvoort also had six points in the win. Sheldon Speers pulled down five boards, too.

Carson Crile scored 22 points for the Trojans (5-9) in the loss.

GIRLS Fairfield 59, PCM 40 Fairfield pulled away from a competitive game with a 22-6 advantage in the fourth quarter. The game was tied at 15 after

one, and PCM led by one at halftime.

The 4A Trojans, though, o u t scored the MusVande Wall t a n g s 32-12 in the second half.

“They pressed the entire game and it wore us down in the fourth quarter,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said. “Our decision making was not very good. It got to us.”

Katie Vande Wall had 11 points at halftime but finished with 13 in the game and also grabbed eight rebounds and two steals to lead PCM (9-7). Rachel Stafford scored eight points and six rebounds, while Kayla Jennings put in eight points and had five steals.

Jayci Vos scored five points, dished out three assists and had two steals in the loss.

“We came out of the gate well,” Lindsay said.

“They are a good team.

We played with them for three quarters and that showed the girls that we can compete with teams like this.”

Fairfield won its fourth straight game and improved to 11-5 on the season.

PCM hosts Collins-Maxwell/Baxter for a Heart of Iowa Conference doubleheader on Tuesday. The varsity girls game begins at 6 p.m.

Jok has career-high 29 as No. 9 Iowa beats Rutgers PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — With Rutgers coming off its worst home loss, Iowa junior guard Peter Jok understood that the No. 9 Hawkeyes were going to be pushed a little by the struggling Scarlet Knights.

The Hawkeyes handled it with a big game from Jok. He scored a career-high 29 points and Iowa shook off pesky Rutgers in the second half in posting a harder-than-expected 90-76 victory on Thursday night.

“We saw they got beat by 50, but we weren’t really worried about that,” Jok said. “We wanted to come out here and work on us and not worry about the score from last game. We knew we were going to get their best because they got embarrassed on that last game.”

Jarrod Uthoff and Anthony Clemmons added 20 points apiece as the Hawkeyes (15-3, 6-0) won their eighth straight game and their 12th in a row in the Big Ten Conference, dating to last season.

Iowa used a zone defense late in the first half in a 16-7 run that gave it a 45-37 lead, and it opened the game up in the second half with its long-range shooting.

Mike Williams had 17 points to lead Rutgers (6-14, 0-7), which was coming off a 107-57

loss to No. 22 Purdue on Monday.

“We knew that we were going to get a really intense effort from Rutgers,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “Eddie’s ( Jordan) been around. I think Monday night was a fluke. It’s a bad match, and I think to man their players committed themselves to competing in a different way which they did.”

Jonathan Laurent, who was returning after missing four games with a concussion, added 14 points and Corey Sanders had 12 for the Scarlet Knights, who have lost their last 22 conference games, including tournament play.

Jok, who is the conference’s reigning player of the week, hit 10-of-19 from the field, and matched his season-high with five 3-pointers. He scored 10 of the Hawkeyes first 13 points and his last basket cut short Rutgers final rally.

“He’s really playing extremely well,” McCaffery said. “I’m just happy to see him getting steals and getting rebounds. A cou-

ple mistakes, but not many. He doesn’t rattle. Twenty-nine on the road, five 3s — pretty good.”

Jok’s previous high was 24 points against Florida State earlier this season.

The Scarlet Knights put up a much better fight than against Purdue on Monday as they rallied from an 11-point first-half deficit and took a 30-29 lead on a basket by Williams with 4:26 to play.

“It’s very encouraging,” Williams said of Rutgers’ effort. “As short-handed and undermanned as we are, we showed we have a never-say-die attitude. We could have let that 50-point loss kill us and kill our momentum and our season, that’s not the way you want it to be. You have to show you have a sense of pride.”

Iowa stood up too after Rutgers took the lead. It switched to a zone and it opened a 4537 lead as Clemmons scored six points and Jok and Uthoff added five in the 16-7 run.

The Hawkeyes were never threatened in the second half as Uthoff hit three 3-pointers in helping build a 19-point lead with 7:23 to play.

“Nothing went right for them in that game (Rutgers-Purdue) and I think they were looking forward to our matchup and really taking it to us and we handled it well,” Uthoff said.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Luke Greiner tallied 24 points and grabbed five rebounds in the Mustangs’ 55-48 win over Fairfield on Thursday night in Monroe.

Raiders Continued from Page 2B enough firepower to keep up with the Royals on Thursday.

Bridget Hurley re-injured her shoulder in Tuesday’s win over Greene County and did not play in the non-conference game against Colo-NESCO two days later.

Mikayla Eslinger scored 12 points, while Carter Larson added eight but no other Raider had more than four in the loss.

Colo-NESCO (12-3) was led by Faith Vincent, who scored 12 points and dished out four assists. Chelsea Henze scored 11 points and Makaelyn Neuendorf added nine in the Royals’ win. The Royals made 11 3-pointers in the game.

The Royals led 1510 after one quarter and pushed it to 37-20 at halftime. CMB (2-12) scored 12 points in the second half.

Such a treasure!

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

When you were small you had to be in a familiar place to feel completely safe. Now you’ve grown into your “crab” essence.

You’re safe because of who you are, not because of where you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The moon favors your every move;

this is your day, your night, your extended-play dance in the spotlight. Savor the creative outlet. When your turn is over, the creativity will still be inside you, waiting for the next showcase.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Unless you’re very aware of your surroundings and how others are feeling, you may not realize what’s at stake in a situation.

Laughter is one of your favorite love notes. It means that someone is sharing in your joy of life, as well as your intellect, point of view and general experience. You’ll connect in giggles and love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s a day to pay the piper, and he’s not offering a layaway plan or installment options, either. Regardless of how you choose to handle it, by the end of the day you’ll be square.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
