Newton announced as a Skilled Community at the 117th Annual Chamber Dinner

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Terri Supino (right) prepares for Thursday’s pretrial conference with co-defense counsel Jill Eimermann. The 54-yearold is set to face trail Feb. 2 for the 1983 double murder of 20-year-old Steven Fischer and 17-year-old Melisa Gregory at the Copper Dollar Ranch in Newton.

Camper in Copper Dollar Ranch murders will be used as evidence Court to decide if ‘drug hit’ claim admissible defense Terri Supino, the 54-year-old woman accused in the 1983 double murder of her estranged husband 20-year-old Steven Fisher and his girlfriend Melisa Gregory at the Copper Dollar Ranch in Newton, appeared in Jasper County court Thursday, as her attorneys and county prosecutors argued the admissibility of key portions of their cases.

This was the final pretrial conference before jury selection begins Feb. 2 in Black Hawk County. Supino is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Judge Terry Rickers, who is assigned to Supino’s trial, is expected to rule on the disputed arguments Friday. The rulings were not available by press time. The judge did

issue a ruling during Thursday’s proceeding which will bring part of the crime scene to Waterloo.

Rickers approved the state’s motion allowing the jury to view the camper trailer where Gregory and Fisher were found murdered more than 31 years ago. In his motion filed Jan. 14, Jasper County Attorney and lead prosecutor in the case, Mike Jacobsen, stated the camper is “substantially” unchanged from the night of the 1983 murders in its size, layout and general configuration.

The state will have the camper towed to Waterloo to give jurors a first-hand account of where the murders took place. Jurors will likely be taken to a location off the Black Hawk County Courthouse grounds to see the camper.

Among the other issues in dispute Thursday was the long-stand-

ing defense theory that Gregory and Fisher’s murders could have been drug related. Assistant Jasper County Attorney Scott Nicholson argued the defendant’s allegation that Gregory and Fischer were killed due to a retaliation for a drug hit — one of two major theories in the double murder throughout the decades — is a “red herring.”

Lead defense attorney Steven Addington argued that Hal Snedeker — former drug runner, owner of the Copper Dollar Ranch in 1983 and one-time suspect in the case — should be required to give information regarding his drug contacts he had in Florida at the time of the murder. The defense feel they could provide a connecting with a drug hit against the victims.

“It goes to the heart of the defense that perhaps someone came up from Florida and murdered the two people. Without knowing the contacts, without knowing their arrests to this date, we can’t pursue SUPINO | 3A

Newton School board to meet at Berg on Monday

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News There are no reconfiguration items on the agenda for Monday night’s Newton Community School District board meeting.

That might be partly due to some of the major moves taken by the board in the reconfiguration realm at its Jan. 12 meeting.

Since the board voted to pursue a new build of the Berg Complex and reclassified the Emerson Hough building as an educational facility, the next steps to take in reconfiguration would seem to be a vote on specific proposals.

However, there are

Mayor Mike Hansen announced Newton is now a Skilled Iowa Community at the 117th Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner Thursday.

The city has been working toward the designation since the initiative started in 2012. The purposed of Skilled Iowa is to solve the lack of “middle skill” workers available in the workforce. One way of combating this is offering up the free National Career Readiness Assessment test that gives a rating to show potential employers a person’s qualification for a position. Jasper County has also qualified as a skilled county through Skilled

Iowa.

“I am extremely proud Newton has now earned the Skilled Iowa community designation. That is extremely important and helps us with our development and our attraction of new employers,” Hansen said.

Along with the announcement, Hansen gave a review of work the city has done throughout the past year. He also served as the opening emcee welcoming State Sen. Chaz Allen and U.S. Congressmen Dave Loebsack representative, Amelia Schoeneman to speak.

Skiff Medical Center posts positive numbers for December

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Skiff Medical Center posted a $696,000 positive month end for the December budget.

Karri Woody, director of financial, gave the report at the board of trustees meeting Thursday. The positive month-end total was largely helped by the distribution of electronic health records funds that Skiff received in December and totaled $474,000. That brought the fiscal year-to-date a positive $456,000.

Cash on hand longevity increased to almost 41 days, which is an improvement over the high 20s, where it had been in recent months; nothing

has been taken from any investments.

“It’s really been fairly miraculous. When we approved the last budget we projected a best case scenario and we are about $1 million ahead of that best case scenario,” CEO Brett Altman said. “To be this far into the year, we’re in a really good place.”

Also, moving in a positive direction was the productivity report, which showed the hospital 99.92 percent productive in the month of December. The productivity number is based off of a comparison to the performance of the top 25 percent of performing hospitals in SKIFF | 7A

Supino

Probation sentence for woman who attacked grandmother

Continued from Page 1A that,” Addington said. “The idea that the objection has relevancy, the state does not get to make that choice and the witness does not get to make that choice in the deposition.”

Nicholson rebutted that supposed drug contacts the defense is seeking could be obtained through Allen Shad, an individual known to have conducted drug runs in Florida for Snedeker and is listed as a witness for the defence. Therefore, the prosecution does not feel Snedeker should be forced to give names.

“What the court really must determine is if the witness must be compelled to answer a question concerning his contacts he had 31 years ago,” Nicholson said. “I’m strained to see how that is relevant in this particular case which is going to trial in a week and a half. We believe the evidence at this point is stale, it’s irrelevant and immaterial.”

The prosecution believes any evidence alleging drug trafficking’s role in the homicides would mislead and confuse the jury. The defense claimed the timeline Snedeker outlined in his most recent deposition stating the date he stopped drug trafficking does not coincide with his 1983 testimony.

Rickers will also rule if the state will be allowed to enter several incidents of alleged domestic violence between Supino and Fisher in the years and months prior to the murders. Newly discussed interactions between Supino and Gregory that allegedly resulted in verbal and perhaps physical altercations were also disputed by the defense.

Two events highlighted in Thursday’s hearing included an alleged incident where Supino drove a car toward Fisher, forcing him to jump on to a softball field backstop to avoid getting hit. The second is an instance where Supino allegedly drove off with Fisher’s arm in a car window, breaking his arm — a key part of a 2014 episode of TNT’s Cold Justice program which assisted Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office investigators in gathering additional evidence to bring charges against Supino in the once cold case.

Rickers must decide if these events are relevant to the state’s case against Supino or if it would unfairly paint Supino’s character in a negative light for jurors.

Newton Daily News

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Iowa fifth judicial district court Judge Terry Rickers hears arguments from prosecutors Thursday, as counsels for both parties finalize their strategies for 54-year-old Terri Supino’s double first-degree murder trial.

The prosecution wants to establish a pattern of violent behavior from Supino leading to the night of the murders.

“These two incidents should not be taken lightly by the court in its evaluation on whether is should be admitted,” Nicholson said. “These are acts of violence.”

The admissibility of these acts were argued by the Supino’s defense, stating the volatility of the marriage is already established in the case.

“I can see this case evolving or going down a road where we feel the need to respond to these domestic abuse allegations which the state seems to be making, when in fact, if the point is to show that this was not a healthy marriage, this fact is not in dispute,” said Jill Eimermann, co-counsel for Supino. “It’s not necessary to paint a picture of the relationship between Steven Fisher and Terri. It could get sidetracked very quickly and very easily.”

Addington said the incident involving Fisher’s arm appeared to be hearsay by most witnesses interviewed, and he claimed the single eyewittiness to the event — Hal Snedeker’s wife Linda — changed her statement from hearing about the drive-off to actually seeing it.

Court documents show Linda Snedeker has been subpoenaed in the case.

Supino’s trial will begin Feb. 2 in Black Hawk County. Read the Newton Daily News for more pretrial coverage Jan 29 and 30. Get the latest trial updates from jury selection to verdict at newtondailynews.com and daily in print.

Court records show that on July 9, 2014, while Scott was living with her grandmother, she stole her debit card and forged a check in her grandmother’s name. When confronted, Scott got in her grandmother’s face and demanded to be punched. The victim grabbed her, and Scott struck her grandmother in the face three

times, causing swelling and bruising. She also knocked the victim to the ground causing an injury to her grandmother’s finger.

Scott was initially charged with serious domestic assault, unauthorized use of credit card and forgery.

An only parent’s daughter

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Jan. 23, 2015

I grew up in a small three bedroom house in a good neighborhood not far from my elementary school, Thomas Jefferson.

It was quaint and clean, and except for Saturday mornings when I woke up to classic rock and a cleaning, happy mom, it was usually fairly quiet and relaxed. As an only child, we didn’t make nearly as much fuss as a house full of kids.

My babysitter lived down the street, and I’d walk there after school. I’d do my homework, eat dinner and stay up watching shows like “Unsolved Mysteries” until my mom came and picked me up after her night shift at the hospital. I’ll never forget that time in my life and knowing we couldn’t spend the evenings together because that was the best option for our family, and that was OK.

Each family is different.

I didn’t know it at the time but growing up in a one parent household was an unknown blessing. I’ve learned a lot about hard work, independence, endurance, sacrifice and compromise. I wouldn’t of wanted it any different.

When you’re young, you don’t realize how hard your parents work to make your life ordinarily extraordinary.

When you grow up with only one parent, you further don’t understand the required effort it takes to adequately provide for a one income family. I’m sure it wasn’t easy but if it wasn’t, she never let on. With maturity, it became apparent I owe a great deal of thanks and appreciation to my mom.

She has given me a strong will, support and a lifetime of memories from the special bond a single parent and their

children share.

My favorite memories growing up, like everyone else, are simple — like staying up past my bedtime, ordering from the Pizza House and watching David Letterman in bed, or a Bond movie on television, or episodes of “Green Acres” on Nick at Nite. Or when we played in the back yard on my little metal swing set; when my mom surprised me on Valentine’s Day with this doll I had been wanting; and each and every vacation, even to the Grotto of the Redemption, in the middle of summer.

Over the years, I’ve watched my mom admirably advance her career for her own good, going from a commuter at Principal Financial to a student in nursing school, and then from different nursing positions to her beloved time as a hospice nurse.

This week, she started a

new endeavor working as a health facilities surveyor for the State of Iowa. I couldn’t be any prouder or happier for her than I am today.

It’s important to give credit where credit is due, and my mom deserves a lot.

Her self motivation and strong work ethic has been the most inspirational tool I could have received. I don’t think she knew then that those night shifts would’ve taught me so much about life. I didn’t know either.

Congratulations on your new job, mom. You deserve it.

You absolutely deserve it. Good luck adjusting, and training, but I know you don’t need it. You’ve been doing it perfectly your whole life.

Letters to the Editor

Camper and boat owners beware

Terri Rock Newton I am writing to express my deep concern about the Newton City Council’s review of a city ordinance which may force camper (and boat owners) to use storage lots year round. I should have the right to park my camper on my own personal property.

I not only pay taxes on my home, I pay taxes and tags on my cars and camper.

The past few summers of camping have created memories of a lifetime for my friends and family. Camping is a wholesome family activity and it would be a shame if camping became less affordable and more hassle to enjoy because of restrictive ordinances. I invested a lot of my hard-earned money to purchase our camper and continue to in-

Legislators must take action on water pollution Paul Muller Newton It was interesting to read the comments made by Sen. Amy Sinclair when addressing pollution in Iowa’s water at the recent Legislative Coffee hosted by the Jasper County League of Women Voter.

To quote: “Water quality comes from a cooperated effort between the ag industry, but frankly from the cities ... Not to mention any names but there are

vest in the upkeep so we can enjoy it for many years to come.

Those that store in lots have had their units vandalized, items stolen and issues with mice. Propane tanks are often taken and roofs are damaged. Camping would be on hold during times of repair.

While I understand there are older, unlicensed, inoperable campers in yards creating a nuisance, this is certainly not the case for citizens in good standing such as myself and many other camper owners. I have lived in Newton for more than 40 years and I am proud to call Newton my hometown. I have served on several boards and volunteer at Community Service Day. We have many challenges as a community and I simply don’t think it is fair to penalize everyone just because some residents don’t care about themselves nor the upkeep of their

homes, yards and vehicles.

Included as part of the City of Newton’s “Action Plan Goals and Objectives” is to “foster a high quality of life” and for “city council, city staff and the community to clearly know the direction of the organization and to hold one another accountable for that direction.”

We can all agree there are many community challenges that need addressed with our limited resources. Restricting camping lovers from enjoying their lives is certainly not aligned with these objectives.

Let’s keep the focus on cleaning up run down homes, removal of junk, garbage and rubbish from residents yards as a first priority. Campers certainly don’t belong on this list of nuisances.

Please join me at the next city council meeting on Monday, Feb. 2 to share your concerns.

cities that clean the nitrates out of their water so they feed it to their citizens then dump it right back into the river for the next city to have to deal with and that is not OK.” If I may interpret that, I think she means the Des Moines Waterworks removes the nitrates from the river water so people can drink the water relatively safely but then returns the nitrates back to the waters for other cities downstream to deal with. She doesn’t think this is right. Neither do I nor does Bill Stowe, the director of the Des Moines Waterworks. Mr.

Stowe has often been quoted as not wanting to do such a thing, but due to state regulations, he has no alternative.

Perhaps Sen. Sinclair needs to read the state regulations which insist nitrates be returned to the rivers and do something via the legislative process to correct this before condemning those who are only following the rules approved by legislative representatives.

It’s time for our legislature to get a backbone and do something about our unsafe and polluted waters.

Hundreds of our veterans and their families traveled to the State Capitol on Wednesday for “Veterans Day on the Hill.”

Throughout the day, veterans met with legislators to discuss the priorities of the By Dan Kelley Iowa Ve t e r a n s Coalition. Representative I was proud to welcome several Vietnam veterans from Jasper County. My guests were Randy Wagner, Bud Picket, Tom McKinney, Richard Wobst, Gary Van Baale and Richard Bullock. I formally introduced them following the morning-prayer-and-pledge in the House Chamber. The Jasper County veterans received a standing ovation from all 100 State Representatives. Most of these gentlemen had visited me and received a well-deserved standing ovation last year. I want this to become an annual tradition and invite all Jasper County veterans to be part of the delegation next year. I’d love for you to join me on Veterans Day on the Hill. Contact me and we’ll set it up.

A ceremony was also held to honor veterans and other service members. The Jasper County Veterans delegation and I attended the service. The Director of the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs, Col. Robert King, the Chair of the Iowa Commission of Veterans Affairs, George Goebel, Major General Timothy Orr of the Iowa National Guard and members of the Legislature spoke during the ceremony.

The Veterans Coalition is a group of representatives from various veterans’ organizations across Iowa.

They work collectively to develop and advance policy ideas to assist Iowa veterans and their families.

The Veterans Coalition’s main goal is to help Iowa grow and prosper.

The Coalition is asking for continued support of Iowa veterans and their families.

This includes protecting the financial integrity of the agencies and programs like the Iowa Veterans Home, the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund, the Injured Veterans Grant Program and the Military Home Ownership Program.

I have pledged my support to these efforts and encourage all veterans and their families to contact me with ideas, suggestions and concerns. Veterans have sacrificed to defend our liberties and protect our freedom, it is our responsibility to do all we can for them.

Also this week, the Department of Education outlined their guidance on the new start date waiver for schools. How early in the summer schools can start classes is a long-standing controversy and we’re searching for a solution.

Here’s what the Department of Education stated: School districts have to apply for a waiver by March 15, if they want to start next year prior to the week of Sept. 1. The district must make a case that starting later would have a ‘significant negative educational impact,’ according to the department.

I’m going to work with our colleagues in the House, Senate, and Governor’s office to help finally resolve this issue.

Doyle was born in Prairie City on May 26, 1923, to Earl and Mamie (Buckingham) Brubaker. He graduated from Prairie City High School and attended McPherson College in Kansas for two years until serving in the United States Army. Doyle was stationed in Japan during World War II and earned two bronze medals before completing his service. Doyle married Maxine Bowers June 23, 1957. After return-

ing from active duty and marrying Maxine, Doyle was an independent salesman for farming equipment and supplies in central Iowa.

Doyle was active in church and sang in the choir at First United Methodist Church.

He also enjoyed square dancing and camping at Springbook with his wife Maxine and he loved spending time with his grandchildren.

Doyle was also passionate about working on, rebuilding, and tinkering Rumley oil pulls with his brothers. Every year for Labor Day he would visit Mt. Pleasant, for the Old Thrashers Reunion.

He was a member of the Central Hawkeye Gas Engine Club, Gideon’s International and the Optimist Club.

Doyle is survived by his wife Maxine; daughter Karen and husband Carter Burnside of Fremont, Neb.; grandchildren, Cassie, Sherise and Jake Burnside; sister Opal Goodrich of West Union; brother-in-law Dean Bowers of Des Moines; sister-in-law Vivian Brubaker of Bettendorf. He was preceded in death by his sister Anna Brubaker; and brothers, Everett, Laverne, Price, Leo, Marvin, Carl and Merlin Brubaker.

Gregori, 2509 Stonecrest Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80521-1373.

A native Arizonan, Virginia was born on Sept. 7, 1918, near Camp Verde. She attended public schools in Miami, Ariz., graduating in 1936. Her marriage to the Reverend Joseph Gregori two years later lasted 48 years, until his death in 1986.

Father Gregori served at several Episcopal churches in south Phoenix and in Newton, Grinnell and Sioux City.

After his retirement, he also served churches in Boone and Payson, Ariz.

Virginia was an active member of the Altar Guild in each of the churches her husband served, logging 45 years of service herself.

This happy marriage resulted in the birth of

six children. Virginia was a devoted mother to three girls and three boys, creating a spotless home filled with a love of reading, music and laughter. Every church potluck attested to her culinary skill; the dishes she brought were always returned empty.

A fine singer, Virginia enjoyed music, dance, concerts and plays. However, her artistic talents were best expressed on cloth and canvas. An accomplished needlewoman, Virginia mastered more than a dozen types of challenging hand needlework. A past member of the Embroiderer’s Guild of America, she received several awards for needlepoint and other embroidery projects. She also made fine linens for nearly a doz-

en Episcopal churches.

Virginia also belonged to the women’s educational philanthropy, P.E.O. International, participating for more than 50 years, most recently as a member of Chapter GS in Fort Collins, Colo.

Virginia Gregori is survived by three married sons, Joseph Anthony and Sherry of Estherville, Reyes Edward and Tammie of Fort Collins, Colo., and Stuart David and Mary of Farmington, N.M.; three married daughter, Gloria Dee and Dudley Potter of Prescott, Ariz., Virginia Angelita and Ronald Ostendorf of Las Cruces, N.M., and Mary Margaret and Steven Hanson of Altoona; 12 grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.

ment at Safeway and then served his country in the Merchant Marines. Albert was united in marriage with Ruth Marsh on Sept. 28, 1947, in Shenandoah.

Upon returning from the service, he began his 38 year career with Hy-Vee, starting in the meat department and later becoming store manager. In December of 1953, they moved to Newton. He retired from Hy-Vee in January of 1985. After retirement he volunteered to run the Newton Country Club for a year. Albert was a member of the Lions Club and

Rotary. He was a self taught man and taught himself to become very skilled at the computer.

New desk comes with a view co-worker would like to avoid DEAR ABBY: I like my job a lot, but I have recently been assigned a different desk. I now sit next to someone who regularly draws his blood with a lancet and gives himself a shot for his diabetes just a foot away from me.

I am extremely uncomfortable around blood and needles. I don’t want to make waves because this person has been here a lot longer than I have, and apparently, no one has ever been bothered by it.

Am I being silly? Would it be improper to ask my supervisor to move me? Moving desks is a big enough deal that I will have to give a reason. Help. — SQUEAMISH IN GREAT FALLS, MONT. DEAR SQUEAMISH: Because the sight of blood and needles makes you uncomfortable, discuss this with your supervisor ASAP. While these are procedures many people with diabetes must attend to on a daily basis, you shouldn’t have to watch if you don’t want to.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter and son-in-law were blessed with a child two years ago. My ex-husband (not my daughter’s father) has hardly been in her life since our divorce 15 years ago. She never called him Dad. We have both remarried.

He and his new wife have moved close to the kids and want to be grandparents. I don’t have a problem with them being close to my daughter, but I resent them being called “grandparents.” I feel that title should be reserved.

Frankly, this has put a chasm in an otherwise close relationship. My daughter and son-in-law don’t understand why I’m having a problem with it. Please give me some advice.

— EARNED THE RIGHT IN VIRGINIA DEAR EARNED: OK. While I

understand your jealousy, for all concerned, you need to realize that the more love and attention a child has, the better. Your grandchild will benefit from having many caring adults in his/her life as long as they’re not at each other’s throats. While your ex and his wife may not technically be grandparents, if you blow this out of proportion, you risk alienating your daughter, so I advise against it.

DEAR ABBY: I am a professor at a university on a military base in Germany. Most of my students are soldiers, their families or retirees, so my students range in age from 18 to 60. I do not yet have my Ph.D., only my master’s.

I communicate a lot with my students through email. How should I sign my emails to them? I can’t say Dr. So-and-So. Do I use my full name or Professor So-and-So? While I’m friendly with my students, I still believe in keeping a professional distance, and I want to convey a sense of professionalism in my emails. — PROFESSOR SO-AND-SO DEAR PROFESSOR SO-ANDSO: Sign your communications with your students exactly the way you have signed the one you have written to me.

Wilson principal donned cuffs, jumpsuit to be ‘inmate’

Chamber Continued from Page 1A

“Someone said we should involve law enforcement in an assembly,” Schuster said. “Having known Aaron for many years, it was a no-brainer about wanting him to get involved.”

Schuster said Groves showed up with a crate with the jumpsuit and handcuffs.

“I was not expecting that,” Schuster said.

The principal said he told Groves the handcuffs felt awfully tight.

“He said that when inmates or arrestees complain about that, or ask for cuffs to be loosened, he tells them that handcuffs aren’t made for comfort,”

Schuster said, smiling.

Schuster said the focus of the sketch was mostly focusing on positive behavior, rather than simply staying out of trouble.

There was also a “Minute to Win It” competition at the Jan. 8 assembly.

“We really want these kids to have every opportunity to shine,” he said. “We use the phrase ‘caught being good’ a lot, and we put a great deal of focus on rewarding positive behavior.”

Schuster said nearly everyone enjoyed the concept of dressing the principal up as an inmate — but not his mother. Like most mothers, Barb Schuster, who

lives in northwest Iowa, didn’t like seeing her son in handcuffs.

“She was a little uneasy about it,” Todd Schuster said.

Schuster, a former assistant wrestling coach, said he has known Groves since the sheriff ’s lieutenant was a standout wrestler during his school days.

“Aaron and I have known each other for many years,” Schuster said. “In fact, when we communicating about this assembly, he called and left a smart-aleck voicemail for me.”

Altman said.

Skiff is currently on day 80 of 120 days of due diligence in the acquisition process with Mercy. A tentative transition date of June 30 or July 1 has be set as the first day Skiff would become a Mercy-operated facility.

“We are moving at twice the normal speed with this.

There is just a lot of work yet to do. There is going to be a lot of questions as we dive deeper into the due diligence and find the business case. We’re working hard to just be transparent with the process, communicate with employees the best we can,” Altman said.

Jeff King retained his position as chairperson of

the Skiff Medical Board of Trustees at the Thursday meeting. All other positions will also continue with the same representative; Debbie Pence as vice-chair, Lois Vogel as secretary and Rick Hartz as treasurer.

teachers. A new Above and Beyond Award was also presented.

Kim Vanderlaan from Aurora Heights Elementary, Jen Elbert from Berg Elementary, Marla Cory from Thomas Jefferson Elementary, Cori Latcham from Woodrow Wilson Elementary, Deborah Rose from Berg Middle School, Desia Kies from Newton High School and Alyssa Lewis from Newton High School were all nominated by a student or parent to receive the award.

NHS Activities Director Scott Garvis received the first Above and Beyond Award for a person in the community who goes above and beyond to further the education and lives of students.

Craig Light gave highlights from the Chamber during the past year before handing the stage over to Board Chair Sue Nolin to start the annual meeting and transfer the gavel to incoming board chair Lonnie Portner. New board members Trish Hafkey, Maranda Kulis and Kristi Cummins were approved to replace departing members Steve Long, Jeff Stolp and Lori McNew. Following the meeting, Graham Sullivan began the presentations from local organizations with Newton Main Street, followed by Linda Bacon, of the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau. Frank Liebl, of the Newton Development Corporation and Craig Armstrong of the Newton Housing and Development also made presentations.

To conclude the evening, the Community Service Award was presented to Steve Knight for his work with numerous organizations including the courthouse lighting project. Finally, Jack Topp with the Iowa Sculpture Festival Committee took home the Key Award for his work on the First Avenue Art and Sculpture Project.

State Rep. Dan Kelley gave closing remarks.

Groves brought positive message to assembly

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News In an effort to drive home a powerful message to his Woodrow Wilson Elementary School students on Jan. 8, Principal Todd Schuster made a wardrobe change.

Lt. Aaron Groves of the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office called Schuster recently to discuss an idea for an afternoon school assembly. Groves ended up taking Schuster before the student body in a assembly — with the principal dressed in an orange county-jail jumpsuit, and handcuffed.

The assembly was a quarterly “PBIS” Celebration for the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support. Groves listed several pillars of character for the students at Wilson, which is home to fourth, fifth and sixth-graders, followed by what Schuster called “Don’t be like ‘Inmate Schuster’” types of lessons.

Schuster said he was somewhat surprised when Groves showed up with the jumpsuit and handcuffs.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Going all out in his final home meet is Newton High senior swimmer Christian Laube in the varsity 100-meter butterfly race Thursday in a double dual meet at Newton’s YMCA. Laube placed third in the race. Newton defeated Grinnell 65-29 and lost to Boone 64-30 on Senior Night.

Cardinals beat Grinnell, lose to Boone on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Five seniors competed in their final home swim meet for Newton High’s Cardinals Thursday.

Jeffrey Fitzgerald and Christian Laube are fouryear members of the Cardinal Swim Team while Brock Southern and Jake Lensing have been on the team for two years. Karl Recknagel is a foreign exchange student from Germany, swimming for Newton for the first time.

Lensing captured two individual victories in the Newton YMCA pool as the Cardinals competed against Boone and Grinnell on Senior Night.

Lensing won the 100-meter freestyle race in 56.53 seconds. He was able to post a winning time of 1 minute, 12.02 seconds for his final race in the home pool.

“That was nice. Being the last home meet as a senior wasn’t as emotional as I thought it would be. I think it is because we still have meets to swim this season,” Lensing

said. “This was a pretty good meet for us considering we’re missing several swimmers.”

Newton’s team has been battling illnesses. Cardinal head coach Dave Hook said the team has been down three swimmers almost every meet since returning from holiday break.

“It does effect things. We swam well tonight and had some good times. I’m proud of our competitive effort,” Hook said. “I look for us to get healthy and get ready for Fort Dodge on Tuesday.”

Cardinal grapplers split double dual

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Newton High’s wrestling team won the first three matches and the last three matches in Thursday’s dual meet against host Des Moines Roosevelt. It was just enough to post a 36-35 win over the Roughriders.

The Cardinals didn’t have as much success against Indianola, losing 59-18. Winning just three matches and two were forfeit wins by Duncan Lee at 195 pounds and Bryce Tish at 145

pounds.

Hunter Versteegh won the two matches at 113 pounds for Newton.

He pinned Zach Fisher of Indianola in 5 minutes, 16 seconds.

Versteegh Versteegh turned Des Moines Roosevelt’s Kaleb Creight-Crum for a fall in 2:51.

WRESTLING | 3B

Newton beat Grinnell 6529 in their dual meet, but lost 64-30 to Boone in varsity action. Boone defeated Grinnell 76-13.

The Cardinals were without Isaak Webb, Lucas Warner and Grant Hamand Thursday because of illness.

“No matter the reason someone has been gone, we have someone else step up for us,” Southern said. “It was nerve wracking, being my last home meet as a senior, but it felt good. It was nice to see the two years of effort rewarded.”

Area wrestling teams assigned to sectional, district tournaments

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Wrestling sectionals for Iowa Class 1A and 2A teams are set. The district tournaments for Class 3A have been assigned.

Teams have a little more than a week remaining in the 2014-15 regular season. Conference tournaments for the five area teams are scheduled for Saturday and Jan. 31.

Colfax-Mingo, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and

Prairie City-Monroe wrestlers compete Saturday in the Heart of Conference tournament in Gilbert. Matches begin at 10 a.m. Lynnville-Sully competes in the South Iowa Cedar League tournament at home in Sully on Jan. 31.

Newton High’s Cardinals will host the 2015 Little Hawkeye Conference tournament on Jan. 31.

Matches begin at 10 a.m.

Mustang boys grind out win over rival Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe boys’ basketball coach Fred Lorensen would prefer his Mustangs bury a bunch of 3-pointers, dominate the paint and score plenty of points off turnovers.

But sometimes that’s not how things work out.

At least Lorensen knows that his team can grind out wins in the Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference.

For the second straight contest, PCM has scored less than 55 points, the Mustangs once again came away with a victory Thursday, defeating visiting Nevada, 47-39.

PCM took down Roland-Story 52-44 on Tuesday.

But wins are wins and the Mustangs are still near the top of the HOIAC at 10-1. It was the 10th straight win inside conference play for PCM, which trails Class 3A No. 9 Gilbert (12-1, 11-1) by a half-game in the standings. The Ti-

gers beat Roland-Story 58-51 on Thursday.

“It’s nice to have a game like that where you can play that poorly on offense and still win or have a chance to win,” Lorensen said. “Going in to the tourney, you never know how the scoring is going to go.”

PCM looked to be in pretty good shape offensively in the first half, scoring 16 in the first and 17 in the second to lead 33-26 at the break.

But a five-point third quarter slowed down the Mustangs’ momentum.

On the positive side, the Mustangs’ defense held Nevada to five points in the third as well, and the Cubs (7-6, 7-4) managed just 13 points in the second half.

“We really didn’t shoot it well at all tonight,” said PCM junior Logan Gilman, who finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds. “It was good that we were able to step up on defense there late and get some rebounds and hit some free throws when they counted, too.”

MUSTANGS | 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Logan Gilman, right, scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds during the Mustangs’ 47-39 win over Nevada on Thursday.

Fitzgerald and Lensing combined with Aaron King and Clay Trotter to win the 200 freestyle relay in 1:50.46.

Newton’s Paul Maharry, Jacob Knoll, Logan Heisdorffer and Zach Theis turned in a thirdplace time of 1:14.12.

King won the 200 freestyle race in 2:15.38, just out touching Boone’s Derek Hahn (2:16.20). Reese Rosenquist placed fourth in 2:33.03.

Jeff Gordon says 2015 season will be his last

By Dan Gelston The Associated Press Jeff Gordon, the charismatic four-time NASCAR champion who became the face of the stock car racing as the sport exploded in popularity a generation ago, will retire as a full-time driver after the 2015 season.

Gordon did not call his decision a retirement because there is “always the possibility I’ll compete in selected events, although I currently have no plans to do that.” But it is clear that he is ready to step away after spending his entire 23-year career in the No. 24 car with Hendrick Motorsports.

He delivered the news to his team early Thursday at its shop in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“As a race car driver, much of what I’ve done throughout my life has been based on following my instincts and trying to make good decisions,” Gordon said. “I thought long and hard about my future this past year and during the offseason, and I’ve decided 2015 will be the last time I compete for a championship.”

The 43-year-old Gordon is coming off one of his best seasons in years, one that ended a single point short of another shot at a title. He won four times in 2014.

Gordon suffered serious issues years ago in his back, specifically his lower spine, and needed anti-inflammatory medication and workouts with a trainer to return to full strength.

He drove in pain during a winless 2008 season and briefly contemplated retirement. He did not cite health issues in Thursday’s announcement.

Gordon is an equity owner in Hendrick Motorsports and will remain involved with the organization.

PCM rally not enough against Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — After facing the Nevada girls’ basketball team for the first time this season Thursday, Prairie City-Monroe coach Bret Grier thinks the Cubs have all the pieces to make a deep postseason run later this year.

Nevada’s talents were on display when it was building a 15-point lead in the first half, and the Class 3A No. 4 Cubs held off a second-half rally by the Mustangs during a 54-46 road win.

The Cubs (13-1) have now won eight straight game and move into sole possession of first place at 11-1 in the Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference.

Class 3A No. 15 PCM falls to 10-2 in league play but stayed in second after Class 3A No. 14 Gilbert (10-5, 10-3) was upset by Roland-Story.

“It was their physical nature that hurt us,” PCM coach Bret Grier said of Nevada. “We didn’t respond well early to their physicality and to their height. It was kind of the same thing that bit us against Pella.

“We weren’t ready for the physical nature even though we knew it was going to be there. We responded better in the man-to-man and got back into the game. We played well in the second half until the about the last 2 or 3 minutes.”

The Mustangs trailed 2917 at the break, but outscored Nevada 29-25 in the second half. PCM got as close as five on four different occasions in the fourth quarter, thanks in large part to Rachel Gulling, who connected on several big buckets in the second half.

Gulling finished with a game-high 14 points. She drained a 3-pointer to start the fourth that cut the Cubs’ lead

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B It was the second straight double-double for Gilman.

Gilman scored 10 of his 16 in the first half but went scoreless in the third.

The Mustang junior helped put the victory away by sinking all four of his free throws in the final 1:11.

Nevada trimmed PCM’s deficit to three when Zachary Hansen drilled a 3-pointer.

The Cubs, following a steal, had a chance to tie, but a wideopen attempt from the corner

to 36-31 and then kept it at five with a pair of free throws with 3:29 to play. Her jumper later made it 46-41, but the Mustangs didn’t get any closer as Nevada got points when it needed them down the stretch to keep PCM at bay.

“Rachel hit some big shots for us,” Grier said. “That three was big to start the fourth.

We just weren’t sure at the beginning of the year where our points would come from besides Rachel (Freland) and Courtney (VanHouweling), but the other girls are starting to show they can help us too.

The Mustangs needed big efforts from the supporting

cast Thursday because Nevada wasn’t going to let Freland or VanHouweling beat them.

The two seniors combined for only 13 points and made just 4-of-20 from the floor and turned it over 11 times.

PCM’s second-half rally began late in the third period.

With Nevada up 13 in the final minutes, VanHouweling buried a trey and then Kayla Jennings scored in close.

Freland then stole the inbounds pass and tried to trim the margin to six before the final quarter, but Nevada’s Kati Cassabaum contested the shot inside the lane.

Freland’s miss made it 36-

rimmed out.

PCM (11-3, 10-1) began to extend the lead at the line from that point on.

Luke Greiner and Ricky Reeve both made 1-of-2 from the charity stripe to make it 42-37, but Nevada missed a 3-point attempt after that.

The Cubs missed their final five shots from long range after connecting on six in the game.

Trey Lindsay scored 11 of his 12 points in the first half.

Luke Pendroy added seven points off the bench.

Hansen led the Cubs with 11, including three 3-pointers, and Cole Gidel added 10.

“We just had to keep track of the Gidel kid. But they have a lot of shooters. We just needed to make sure they didn’t get too many open looks,” said Gilman of defending Nevada from outside.

The win for PCM was its 10th in the past 11 games.

But the lack of offense the past three games concerns Lorensen.

“We just need to get so much better on the offensive end. We need to be more efficient,” the long-time Mustang coach said. “We didn’t shoot it well from the perimeter tonight, which makes a difference. But give Nevada credit,

28 heading into the fourth quarter.

Nevada’s bigs altered shots inside the paint throughout the night on defense.

“That would have been huge. If she makes that layup, the momentum is even more on our side and the crowd is into it,” Grier said. “To (Nevada’s) credit, we had a tough time making some shots. But they are good. They are dang good.

“They have all the pieces.

They have a really good point guard, two good shooters and two dominant posts. They know what they are doing.”

Nevada also has no senior starters. Freshman Lexi Koudelka finished with 12 to lead the Cubs, while Cassabaum scored eight. The starting backcourt — Ali Fey, Claire Ausman and Abby Stephenson — each scored nine points apiece.

Jennings totaled 10 for the Mustangs (10-5) and Katie VandeWall chipped in nine points.

Freland finished with five boards, while VanHouweling scored seven points, grabbed four rebounds and dished out four assists.

The Mustangs return to the floor Friday when they host Colfax-Mingo.

Astrograph Friday, Jan. 23, 2015

Here’s a ritual for starting over: Choose a few small symbols of your old life, as well as a few symbols of your new life. Find a patch of earth and dig a hole. Bury the symbols of your old life in the ground, saying “goodbye” over and over. Place the symbols of your new life on a shelf or another place where you will see them often and daily.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 23). You love your work and look forward to the interactions of each relationship. This makes for a motivated, happy, optimal state of being. There’s a financial bonus in February.

March comes with travel opportunities. May brings a switch of the career direction, and you’ll be ready for it. Give your heart in July.

Aries and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 6, 33, 41 and 28.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Segal’s law suggests that a man with one watch knows what time it is and that a man with two watches is never sure.

This is a time to limit your

knowledge sources.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People will say the wrong thing from time to time. Be patient with someone who is socially awkward. And if that someone happens to be you, then afford yourself a measure of grace.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your past will inform your future, if you care to look at it very carefully.

This day is a fast rush, so that kind of review may seem impossible, but knowing you, you’ll find the time for a moment of reflection.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The more you give the more you want to give; it feels so good. Your generosity will make a difference for those who need it, and it will make an impression on those who could stand to give more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll meet someone who knows about the subject you are extremely interested in of late. If your questions are met with resistance, assure your

subject that your interest is impersonal.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do you dare head out on a quest? The distances you travel may not be physical miles, but you will arrive at a new place anyhow. You will be a friend to many fellow travelers, though some relationships will emerge as special.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Honor tradition. The simple act of sitting down to a meal with loved ones will be grounding. The regular things about life get you grounded for what promises to be an action-packed weekend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your nearest will appreciate what you do, because they see how much effort it takes, though they don’t understand the intricacy of it. Next in line are those with similar skills. They really get it. Keep them close now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll compare yourself, to the extent that it helps you maintain a competitive

edge. Also, you’ll be funny when it counts, and that’s part of your appeal to your many followers.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have so much work to do and no clue how you’re going to accomplish it all. Other people -- that’s the answer. And when you’re giving instructions, you’ll be simultaneously assertive and laid-back.

Amazing!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). They like the results, yet they still may have a criticism. That is unacceptable. Let your people know that they can’t have the effort without the person who is doing the work. Don’t let them disrespect you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). There’s a physical chasm to be crossed with human ability. Take the chance. The more difficult the risk the more winning power you’ll put into the leap.
