Sentencing date set for sex abuse case

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina speaks with two supporters during a campaign stop Tuesday morning at the Kum & Go off Interstate 80 in Colfax. The former Hewlett Packard CEO was invited to the store by the Iowa-based convenience and the National Association of Convenience Stores. Fiorina is trailing many of her Republican rivals in the lead-up to the Feb. 1 Iowa Caucus.

Fiorina meets with supporters in Colfax Candidates make race to Feb. 1 caucus

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News COLFAX — The last time Mitchellville hog farmer Duane Van Wyk saw Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina was at the Jan. 19 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit in Altoona.

He owns and operates a 4,000head hog confinement six miles west of Colfax, and said he supports Fiorina’s opposition to what she sees as EPA overreach with the Waters of the U.S rule, regulating large and small bodies of water — some on farmland.

That was a main topic of conversation when Van Wyk was

able to speak with the candidate one-on-one Tuesday morning during a campaign stop at a Kum & Go convenience store in Colfax.

“The water standard is way too stringent,” he said. “Smart people in 2016 shouldn’t be drawing their drinking water out of the river for God’s sake.

There’s wells that they can get their drinking water from. It’s a huge problem.”

The presidential candidate

and former Hewlett Packard CEO rolled into the fuel station at 8:45 a.m. and met privately on her campaign RV with member of the National Association of Convenience Stores, an interest group representing fuel retailers and convenience stores at the federal legislative level, before walking through the convenience store to meet with supporters and customers who happened to be there buying their morning doughnut and coffee.

NACS spokesperson Caroline Quat said the group has invited both Democrat and Republican candidates to visit Iowa convenience stores this Iowa Caucus cycle to discuss issues ranging from Renewable Fuels Standard ethanol volume requirements to underground storage tanks.

Supervisors approve tentative union contracts

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Supervisors approved tentative agreements with unions representing county entities Tuesday.

American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) representing the sheriff ’s office, courthouse and home care and PPME trade union representing secondary roads submitted contact modifications for the next year.

Included in the contract for the sheriff ’s office was a 100 hour cap on the accrual of compensatory time, voluntary overtime hours to be assigned on a seniority basis and involuntary overtime to be assigned on a rotating seniority basis from the bottom of the seniority list to

the top.

For employee contracts at the courthouse, recommendations included employees having the ability to carry over up to 40 hours and no more than 80 hours of emergency leave into the next fiscal year. Also, holidays will no longer include employee’s birthdays and will be replaced with a floating holiday.

Jasper County home health care aides will be on a wage schedule that will be frozen as of July 1. New employees will be on a schedule that will be increased if the average of the five larger and five smaller counties results in the classification being paid less than 5 percent above the average of the comparability group.

Moran to take over Huckabee Huddle — again Basics & Beyond Program

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A couple of administrative personnel changes were approved at Monday night’s regular Newton Community School District board of education meeting.

Mike Moran was introduced at Monday night’s regular Newton Community School District board of education meeting as the new principal of the Basics & Beyond and Disciplinary Alternative Programs. He will split between those roles and his job as a Berg Elementary School administrator for the rest of the school year, with Laura Selover resigning from Basics & Beyond to focus on

her human resources director duties.

Moran is in his second year as a school administration manager at Berg Elementary. He will continue to have that role, working with Berg Principal Jolene Comer on a balance that allows him to be at both schools.

The Basics & Beyond program and DAP are both in the Emerson Hough Building and will relocate to the new administration building next fall.

The Basics & Beyond program is an alternative high school that has an enrollment of about 62 students. DAP is an alternative to expulsion.

MORAN | 3A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Not many presidential candidates have been to Newton this caucus cycle as often as Republican Mike Huckabee. His fourth stop in the city in the past seven months happened Tuesday when he held a “Huckabee Huddle” for about 45 people at Moo’s BBQ. He was accompanied by his wife, Janet, along with comedian Jim Labriola and Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill.

Prayer War

Discover Hope to host event Saturday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A vision from Discover Hope leader Rob Robinson led to the development of a prayer event scheduled for Saturday at Community Heights Alliance Church.

“Declaring Spiritual War in our Community” will begin at 5 p.m. and conclude at 8 p.m. with five different prayer topics touching on different areas in the community.

“The idea actually came from my mentor. We were talking about the different things that have been happening in the community and we thought we should do a big prayer and declare a prayer war in our community,” Robinson said.

The prayer schedule begins with a 5 to 5:30 p.m. prayer session for churches, with prayers for human services following from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Prayers for

law enforcement is next from 6 to 6:30 p.m. and prayers for healing will take place from 6:30 to 7 p.m. The event concludes with an hour-long prayer for bondage of addiction from 7 to 8 p.m.

“The focus areas came from me just praying and asking God for specific direction within the community, like those who have been affected by addiction.

Aaron Groves (sheriff ’s deputy) is my partner in this and law enforcement is a big thing for him,” Robinson said. “Human services deals with a lot of the effects from mental health issues and addiction issues within the community. Finally, healing.

People need healing, ask God to deliver them from those addictions and break those bonds and continue the healing process.”

Robinson said the event is open to the public and anyone is invited to attend.

“We have invited church-

es from Des Moines, Pella and those here in Newton. We invite whoever wants to attend and be a part of it can come,” Robinson said. “It is three hours, from 5 to 8 p.m., so people can come for any part of it they want.”

If community members have specific prayers they would like to bring to the event, prayer teams will be on hand for oneon-one sessions.

“We will have prayer teams from a few of the different churches in Newton and Discover Hope to take prayer request. They will also be able to do individual prayers for people if they have specific prayer requests,” Robinson said.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A federal appeals court will consider whether county commissioners in North Carolina violated the Constitution by delivering Christian prayers at their meetings and inviting audience members to join.

The case marks the first time a federal appeals court has considered how local councils conduct prayers since a 2014 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upheld a New York town’s use of predominantly Christian invocations at its meetings.

A three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled on Wednesday to hear Rowan County’s effort to overturn a federal judge’s ruling that local officials ran afoul of constitutional requirements separating church and state.

There is a key difference between the two cases: Rowan County commissioners delivered the prayers themselves, while the Town Board in Greece, New York, invited local clergy or laypeople to do so, according to a previous ruling by a federal judge in North Carolina.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed in North Carolina claim the elected officials’ delivery of the prayers was coercive, while the defendants argue that it’s not unconstitutional for lawmakers to lead prayers.

The original lawsuit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of three residents, said nearly all prayers that opened Rowan County Commission meetings between 2007 and 2013 were Christian. Prayers typically ended with phrases such as “in the name of Jesus” or “in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” their lawsuit said.

The plaintiffs, who are not Christians, said the prayers made them feel excluded and sent the message that the board favored a particular religion.

They said they felt pressured to stand and participate because the commission and most of the audience would do so.

The board had no written policy on prayer, but county commissioners said in court documents that they were following a long-standing tradition and took turns delivering the prayer. They said citizens could leave the room or arrive after the prayer without affecting their ability to participate in the meetings.

The ACLU wrote the commission in February 2012 saying the prayers violated the Constitution. A federal court issued a preliminary injunction in 2013 halting the practice, and the judge made his decision permanent in May, nearly a year after the Supreme Court ruling.

Calling Rowan County’s practice “unconstitutionally coercive,” U.S. District Judge James Beaty Jr. noted “that Commissioners themselves are the sole prayer-writers and prayer-givers,” distinguishing the case from the one decided by the Supreme Court.

In recent months, the commission has had a chaplain deliver the opening prayer.

A lawyer for the National Center for Life and Liberty, which is representing Rowan County, said the county’s practice has never been coercive.

“People can leave the room if they don’t want to hear the prayer,” Barbara Weller said.

Clarification In the Newton Community School District board of education story published in Tuesday’s Newton Daily News, the paraphrasing of board member Travis Padget’s statements about a recent Newton YMCA request for funding was unclear.

Padget clarified Wednesday that there have not been any statements made publicly that Newton Schools are using the YMCA aquatic facilities at no charge; the district rents facilities at a rate of $45 per hour. This rate will increase to $50 next school year.

Fiorina did not give a stump speech in Colfax or speak to members of the media, but she met individually with about a dozen supporters and several local Kum & Go staff.

One supporter discussed with Fiorina the potential use of eminent domain to obtain private land in the proposed Dakota Access Crude Oil Pipeline — proposed to run diagonally across 18-Iowa counties. Although she did not voice support or opposition for the project, Fiorina used the moment to take a jab a Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, criticizing the hotel and real estate mogul of abusing em-

inent domain with his development projects.

“There are places where (eminent domain) is really abused to take people’s property away. Donald Trump abuses it to take people’s property away, for example,” Fiorina said. “Shocked, shocked, shocked. The ultimate crony capitalist.”

Tuesday was part of a seven-day, 19-town stop for Fiorina in the final week before the Feb. 1 caucus.

Fiorina, who polled as high as the number two spot nationally in September in the crowded Republican primary field, has now dropped to near the bottom of the pack — tied with Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 2 percent support among likely Iowa caucus voters in the latest Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll.

College needn’t be free —just affordable

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Jan. 27, 2016

Whenever any candidate or government official calls for something to be free, the immediate opposition is that nothing is truly free, as someone always pays for it.

However, there is a giant difference between making a service a free government benefit, regulating its price or simply regulating how often and how far its price can be raised. The 2016 Iowa Caucus season has placed a huge spotlight on the average amount of debt owed by recent (and notso-recent) college graduates; a few prominent public officials have suggested college should be free.

I don’t feel college should be free for several reasons. Not among those reasons is what we can afford as a nation. The U.S. has gotten by with various forms of welfare for 80 years and spends $11.4 billion on one F-35 Strike Fighter plane, so we can afford a great number of things, if we make the sacrifice.

The best options to me seem

to be to regulate tuition increases, attack the way loans are structured for incoming students and allow more income-based repayment and restructuring of loans. One estimate is that free college — much more of a Democratic rallying cry than a Republican one, these days — would cost around $70 billion per year. For a nation whose government announced it had lost track of contract documents for about $6 billion in spending, handing that much more reimbursement to the feds sounds like more than they can handle.

However, we don’t need to change much of our current structure; we don’t even need to take on the huge banks that make a killing off of student loans. We simply need to restructure repayment in a way that might slow the way banks expand and grow their assets over the short term.

Grinnell College is committed enough to helping students pay for school that 90 percent of its

students receive some form of aid, and the average indebtedness of borrowers in the graduating class of 2015 was only $15,982. There is also federal income-driven repayment plans already in place.

The gears are already turning. Those gears just need a little grease to turn faster.

Prior to my college graduation in 2005, I was able lock in a fairly low loan repayment rate that seems to no longer be available to the general undergraduate population. Even for the students who are able to find loan rates lower than mine, escalating tuition rates mean bachelor’s graduates are having to pay off tens of thousands of dollars more than I — in capital alone.

The sentiment that everyone should be in college, pursuing bachelor’s and graduate degrees, seems to be fading. Not only is there a push to more thoroughly fund trade schools like DMACC’s Career Academy, but the desire

to look more educated as a nation pushed kids into college that weren’t suited for it.

Even though I didn’t return to school to finish my bachelor’s until my early 30s, I wasn’t really ready for the university scene, on many levels. I could have used an extra semester or two at a community college, but guidance counseling didn’t seem to be available, and I could have used some help where I was asked some hard questions, instead of me trying to ask about the right things.

As tough as college seemed to be for me academically, it might have meant more to graduate with a more solid effort grounded in stronger fundamentals.

Regulating loan rates and frequency of tuition hikes might tame the ferocious bank zeal to come for student payments, as they’ll know they’re only going to get so much.

Grassley wants his day in court

State View

Legislative process underway with subcommittee assignments With the recognition of the Martin Luther King holiday, it was a short week at the statehouse. The legislative process is underway as bills are beginning to receive subcommittee assignments. I have been assigned to SF 2007, which is a bill that pro- By Amy Sinclair motes commu- Iowa Senator nication between the offices of our local courthouses during the budgeting process. I am also on SSB6006, which will save the state of Iowa money by limiting insurance of adult children of state employees. Both bills were put on hold following subcommittee meetings to gather further information.

‘Coupling’ should be given careful consideration Many constituents have reached out to me in recent days to share concerns in regard to the Iowa Legislature coupling with Section 179 federal tax depreciation changes.

In December 2015, the United States Congress approved tax changes that extended many beneficial tax provisions that impact Iowans. Before Iowans can take advantage of these provisions,the Iowa Legislature must review and act to approve these changes into our Iowa tax code — should Iowa couple or

conform. In recent years,the bill known as the “coupling” bill has been debated in January at the Statehouse. It is important we act quickly to allow Iowa taxpayers to begin their tax preparation. Over the years, the Iowa Legislature has generally voted to adopt the federal tax changes or-“couple.”

I fully support Iowa businesses and want to couple with Section 179 (changes to how you can depreciate an asset), which could save Iowa taxpayers significantly on their 2015 income taxes and make record keeping easier through allowing for only one depreciation schedule. Iowa’s farmer sand small businesses will be the ones most impacted if the Legislature fails to couple with the federal provisions. Supporting Section 179 works to strengthen Iowa’s economy and to help weather the economic difficulties farmers and small business owners face as a result of the declining commodity markets.

Conformity allows Iowans to invest back into Iowa. I will continue to work to address your concerns and find the resources to support conforming with Section 179.

Senate casts first vote of the 2016 legislative session Wednesday was our first vote of the 2016 legislative session.

The bill related to the Meskwaki settlement jurisdiction when it comes to crime. Currently, criminal justice in the

Meskwaki settlement is a blend of state and tribal authority as a result of a bill passed in 1948.

The bill was originally passed to help law enforcement on settlement land because it did not have the money for its own police force. Since Indian governments have to share their criminal authority with another jurisdiction in Iowa, this has resulted in double prosecution of some members of the reservation by both the Meskwaki nation and Tama County. This bill would return to a system of federal and tribal jurisdiction, used by 75 percent of tribes, and leave the state out of it. I voted in favor of the bill because of the possible savings for Tama County’s law enforcement and judicial system and out of respect for the heritage of people who live there.

Veterans Day on the Hill Wednesday was Veterans Day on the Hill. This day is a great opportunity to talk to our state’s veterans. It is a great reminder to us to make sure we do everything we can for our veterans to thank them for their service.

I would love to hear your priorities and concerns for this legislative session. With your input, we can work to make the state a better place to work and raise a family. If you or your group would like to meet with me at the Capitol this session, contact me at my email amy. sinclair@legis.iowa.gov.

Chris Schwartz Waterloo In his first year as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, U.S. Senator Grassley has obstructed a number of nominees for the courts. Under Grassley’s failed leadership, the Senate Judiciary Committee has confirmed an embarrassingly low number of judicial nominees, and Grassley is on pace to become the most obstructionist Judiciary Chairman in American history.

By stalling federal judicial nominees, Senator Grassley has our federal courts in a stall and is responsible for judicial emergencies across the country. As thousands of Americans desperately await their day in court, Sen. Grassley continues to move most nominations at a snail’s pace while leapfrogging his nominees to the front of the line. Judicial nominations shouldn’t be arbitrary, and it’s time for Sen. Grassley to stop playing politics with the nomination process.

His obstruction of the federal court system is bad for the country, and it threatens the delicate “checks and balances” relationship between the legislative and judicial branches.

Sen. Grassley isn’t concerned about the stalemate and claims to be making “good progress.” Eleven in a year is not “good progress” and is on pace for the fewest confirmations since 1960. Despite his obstruction, Sen. Grassley is more than happy to utilize federal courts when it promotes his personal political agenda. Last month in an Iowa Public Radio interview, Senator Grassley vowed to use the courts to fight the EPA. He wants to use the same courts he’s been holding hostage for the past year to fight personal political battles. Sen. Grassley wants his day in court, but doesn’t want Americans to have theirs. It’s time for the senator to stop the obstruction of judicial nominees, and stop preventing justice for Americans across the country. us the U.S. to join but Obama won’t join.

At one minute to midnight, it is now high time to listen to reason and act as a citizen for the good, or we will only have devastation.

Call your Congress person by calling 202 and ask for your rep. Demand that they re-enactment of Glass-Steagall while there is still time. Act as a citizen of this country and insist that your congress person do as well by passing the re-enactment of Glass-Steagall while there is still time. Acta as a citizen of this country and insists that your congress person do as well by voting in Senate 1709 and House Bill HR 381. If this is not passed, the national debt will be on our shoulders.

Divorcing husband wary of wife’s online deception

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 10 years. Four years ago, while waiting for our divorce to be finalized, I decided I’d start dating online and suggested she do the same. We were still friends, so I didn’t think it was crossing any boundaries.

My online dating efforts were met with peculiar results. All of the six women I connected with either stood me up or made excuses why they couldn’t or wouldn’t meet me in person.

Out of frustration I began dating my wife again and we canceled the divorce proceedings.

About a year after we got back together, my wife confessed that the women I had reached out to online were all fictitious personae that she had constructed with the intent of exhausting my search efforts. It worked.

We are now filing for divorce again, and I’m worried she may do the same thing. What can I do? — SOUTHERN GUY DEAR SOUTHERN GUY: Because you think your wife might pull that stunt again, stop sharing any details of your online dating pursuits with her. Definitely refrain from telling her which sites you’re using. (Use different ones than before.)

Or, hearken back to the good old days and try meeting people in person.

The worst that could happen might be that you encounter your soon-tobe ex in various disguises — but you know her well enough by now that you should be able to see through them.

DEAR ABBY: I am engaged to a wonderful man, and we will be married soon. We have been together two years and get along well. His parents live 35 minutes away and his mom doesn’t drive.

The other day he commented that she wanted us to invite her over, as she hadn’t been over in a year. I told him his mother is always welcome and should just call to make sure we are home. He

then proceeded to tell me he wanted her to spend the night. He said that in his previous relationship, his mother would stay over occasionally.

I didn’t know what to say, but at the age of 40, should he really be wanting sleepovers? It struck me as odd. I’m a private person and I’m not sure how to resolve this. I don’t want him to feel I’m rejecting his mom, but I don’t see why she needs to spend the night. I don’t want to walk on eggshells with her, because she called and scolded me about how I spoke to her son several months ago. Advice? — LADY OF THE HOUSE DEAR LADY: Is there something you haven’t mentioned? Why has it been a year since your fiance’s mother has been invited to visit? Certainly in all this time you could have picked her up. A blanket “come anytime, just call first” isn’t a proper invitation — particularly if the person doesn’t drive.

If you prefer she not be an overnight guest, I don’t think your fiance should force it. And if you prefer that she not meddle in your relationship with her son, I hope you made it clear to her when she “scolded” you. Of course, it wouldn’t have happened if her son hadn’t tattled to her — which should be a glimpse of what marriage to him may be like if you don’t get this straightened out now.

ALBIA — Authorities say the body of a missing man has been found in his car at the bottom of a ravine in southern Iowa.

Albia police say a passer-by spotted the car and officers reached it Tuesday morning in the ravine near the intersection of Iowa highways 5 and 137.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The search is over and the newly formed Jasper County Public Health has a leader.

Rebecca Pryor accepted the position of Jasper County Public Health Administrator, said Margot Voshell, chair of the board of health.

“Becky comes to us with an extensive resume. We were very excited that we were able to secure her because she comes in with a breadth of

experience and knowledge,” Voshell said.

P r y o r worked at Grinnell Regional Medical Center as Director of Home Health, Pryor Public Health and Hospice for the past four years. Before moving to Iowa, she worked for more than 15 years at Fayette

County Health Department, which is a county based agency in Illinois, in a wide variety of public health, maternal and child health and home health programs.

“I see unlimited potential and I am excited for the opportunity to build the Public Health programs in Jasper County. I look forward to working with the community and the board of health to meet the needs of the county,” Pryor said.

Gay rights group criticizes youth event investigation DES MOINES (AP) — A legislative oversight committee is unfairly targeting a gay rights organization in Iowa over its programming at an annual anti-bullying youth conference, the leader of the group said Tuesday ahead of a meeting to address the issue.

Nate Monson, executive director of Iowa Safe Schools, said some members of the House Government Oversight Committee plan to sensationalize his group’s work at a meeting Wednesday at the Capitol.

Monson helps organize a conference that focuses on resources for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth in Iowa. The conference last year had several workshops, including sessions

on sexuality. A letter will be circulated at Wednesday’s meeting from an educator who attended the conference, according to Monson. The letter expresses reservations about some of the content provided to students and says that some speakers shared “vulgar language and X-rated material.”

Monson defended the programming, which he said included frank questions about sexual health from students. He said it encourages open conversations and creates a safe space for youth.

“I think we can all agree that legislators should be focusing on the work of governing the state of Iowa, including passing a bullying bill, instead of these accusations against a LGBTQ

youth event that receives no direct state funding,” he said.

Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton and chairman of the oversight committee, defended the investigation. He said some event programming was inappropriate and the letter that will be shared on Wednesday proves that. He also challenged Monson’s characterization that the conference involves no state dollars, because some students were bused to the event during the school day. “(Monson) should worry less about what my committee is doing and worry more about the X-rated content that now irrefutably happened at his conference,” he said.

RSVP collect needed items for MLK Day of Service Newton Daily News For Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Day of Service” on Jan. 18, Retired and Senior Volunteers (RSVP) set up at various locations in Newton collecting much needed personal care items for the local Salvation Army.

RSVP chose to collect personal care items because they are often overlooked and often carry a higher price tag than other food pantry items.

overwhelming. Thank you to Fareway and HyVee for hosting our volunteers. Finally, thank you to the following volunteers: Violet Bakalar, Butch Hedberg, Julia Higgins, Verneil Knott, Bud Langmaid, Larry Pauley, Mildred Rawlins, Linda Schafer, Jim Tracy, Meredith Tracy and Arlene VanVoorhis.

MLK Day of Service is one day that RSVP volunteers are active in the community, but you will find RSVP volunteers helping in other ways throughout the year. Whether it’s reading to a student with

our HEART program (Help Engage a Reader Today), transporting eligible clients to medical appointments in or out of the county with our Jasper County RIDE program, or offering free tax preparation services for low/middle income families and elderly clients at DMACC (coming to you beginning Tuesday), our volunteers are there, filling a need.

Our volunteers help the City of Newton ensure that the warning sirens are in good working order, as well as assisting the Chamber of Commerce, Neal Smith

Strong second half propels Mustangs against CMB

Vande Wall’s early spark helps PCM girls to win over Raiders

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Katie Vande Wall is undersized at her position for the Prairie City-Monroe girls’ basketball team.

What she lacks in size, she makes up for with energy, aggressiveness and toughness.

Those three characteristics were all on display for the Mustang junior Tuesday during PCM’s game against rival Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

Vande Wall got her squad an early lead with nine points in the opening quarter. Her 12 points and 15 rebounds led the Mustangs to a 42-27 triumph during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

PCM took advantage of CMB’s Carter Larson and Mikayla Eslinger getting into early foul trouble.

The Mustangs broke away from a four-point first quarter advantage with a 14-8 second period and then

outscored the Raiders 17-12 in the second half.

“We got outplayed early in the game so I called a timeout,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said. “I challenged the kids. Katie turned the heat up and when she starts doing that, the others want to do it, too.

“She is one of our energy kids. Katie moves and anticipates ball flight.

She has that motor that we needed tonight.”

Vande Wall scored PCM’s first seven points. Her final bucket of the first quarter came with 56 seconds to play and it gave the Mustangs an 11-7 advantage.

Larson’s second and third foul came less than a minute apart, and she was forced to the bench for the final 10 minutes of the half.

Another CMB starter — Eslinger — was whistled for her third foul early in the second frame, too.

MORAVIA — There was very little drama to Prairie City-Monroe’s Xavier Miller’s 100th career win Tuesday, but he ended the night with a bang.

The Mustang junior collected wins 99 and 100 with forfeits in his first two duals of the night. Miller’s 101st victory came by a 19-4 technical fall against Central Decatur’s Chance Masters.

Six other PCM wrestlers joined Miller in going 3-0 on the night as the Mustangs blasted through Van Buren 59-18, cruised past host Moravia 53-21 and hammered Central Decatur 63-12 to improve to 9-14 on the season.

The only PCM wrestler to win three matches on the mat was freshman Lucas Roland, who had

two pins and a 16-1 technical fall. Neither of the matches that ended in falls lasted longer than 1 minute, 19 seconds.

Roland improved 33-2 on the season.

Miller’s three wins pushes his seaMiller son mark to 35-4.

Freshman Wes Cummings won his first match by fall, took a forfeit against Moravia and then cruised to a 12-2 major decision win over Kade Kelso of Central Decatur. His three wins improved his record to 25-2 on the year.

C-M boys close gap, still lose to Montezuma

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONTEZUMA — The Colfax-Mingo boys’ basketball team significantly narrowed the deficit gap with stateranked Montezuma on Tuesday night.

Earlier this season, the Class 1A No. 7 Braves jumped out to a 19-8 lead in the first quarter and Nichols never looked back in a 62-34 win in Colfax.

The Tigerhawks flipped

the script Tuesday. They led by three after one quarter and stayed in front by a point at halftime. But the Braves stayed unbeaten on the year after outscoring their visitors by seven in the second half during a 6357 win in South Iowa Cedar League play.

“This was a very competitive, high-level high school basketball game,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said. “Our effort was good in the third quarter, but we just turned it over too much and couldn’t get a few shots to go down.”

Colfax-Mingo trailed by two and had the ball with 30 seconds to play, but couldn’t

Zach Townsend chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds and Logan Price scored 13.

The Tigerhawks’ next game is 7:30 p.m. Friday at BGM. The girls kick off the doubleheader at 6 p.m.

The Colfax-Mingo girls basketball team lost to 1A No. 15 Montezuma, 56-22, on Tuesday night.

The Braves, winners of 12 straight, improved to 17-1 overall and 13-1 in SICL play.

Colfax-Mingo drops to 5-12 overall and 5-9 in conference play.

Former NFL safety Sash diagnosed with CTE IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Former NFL and Iowa safety Tyler Sash, who died last year at age 27, has been diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Chris Nowinski of the Boston University-affiliated Concussion Legacy Foundation confirmed the diagnosis on Tuesday night. The New York Times was the first to report the finding.

CTE, which can be diagnosed only after death, has been found in the brains of dozens of former football players.

Linked to repeated brain trauma, it is associated with symptoms such as memory loss, impaired judgment, depression, and, eventually, progressive dementia.

Sash, who won a Super Bowl during his rookie season with the New York Giants, was found dead at his home on Sept. 8.

The Iowa State Medical Examiner’s office found he died from an accidental overdose after mixing two powerful pain medications, and a history of painful injuries was a contributing factor.

Months after the Super Bowl victory, Sash was suspended for four games in 2012 for violating the NFL’s perfor mance-enhancing substances policy by testing positive for Adderall, a stimulant used primarily to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and the sleep disorder narcolepsy.

The Giants cut ties with Sash prior to the 2013 opener, reaching an injury settlement after he sustained a concussion in the preseason finale against New England.

At Iowa, Sash started 37 games from 2007-10, earning first-team AllBig Ten honors in his final season.

50th Super Bowl: Manning’s Broncos face Newton’s Panthers

By Howard Fenrich AP Pro Football Writer Peyton Manning is the only fivetime MVP in NFL history, one of the faces of the league and, at 39, the oldest starting quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl.

Slowed by age and injury, he is no longer the record-breaking passer he once was. Most folks figure Manning’s fourth Super Sunday appearance will be his last game as a pro.

Cam Newton is at the opposite end of his career, just 26, making his debut in the big game. He also is expected to earn MVP honors for the first time, part of a new breed of dual-threat quarterbacks as good at running as they are at throwing.

For the next two weeks, until Manning’s AFC champion Denver Broncos (14-4) play Newton’s NFC champion Carolina Panthers (17-1) for the Lombardi Trophy in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 7, most of the focus will be on the two quarterbacks who were No. 1 overall draft picks 13 years apart.

“Oh, wow,” said Newton, whose Panthers opened as 4-point favorites with most bookmakers. “Playing ‘The Sheriff.’”

That is a reference to Manning, who is 1-2 in past Super Bowls. He won a championship with the Indianapolis Colts in 2007, lost with the Colts in 2010, and lost again with the Broncos in 2014.

But this is a different version of Manning.

Manning

Newton

Yes, he’s still as good as anyone at diagnosing defenses and changing things up — or appearing to, anyway — at the line of scrimmage.

Yes, he’s still out there yelling “Omaha!”

“He most certainly is a Hall of Famer,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said.

But Manning is not quite as capable as he was, once upon a time, when it comes to putting the football exactly where he wants it, especially on deep routes.

This has hardly been a record-setting season for Manning — or, until now, one worth remembering. Overall, the bad far outweighed the good, including one game with a passer rating of 0.0, 17 interceptions to only nine touchdown passes in the regular season, being sidelined for six weeks with a series of injuries, getting relegated to backup duty in the NFL for the first time, and vehemently denying a report linking Manning’s wife to the

banned drug HGH. “My role has been different and my contributions are different,” Manning said. “But I’m fortunate and grateful that I have the opportunity to contribute still, in some way. And it’s a great honor to be going back to the Super Bowl.”

Here are some of the other story lines for the 50th Super Bowl, which will be Denver’s record-tying eighth and Carolina’s second: Superman: Newton threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran for 47 yards and a pair of scores, leading Carolina past the Arizona Cardinals 49-15 in the NFC title game Sunday night. It was the type of dynamic performance he put in all season, the sort of promise he showed while winning a Heisman Trophy in college at Auburn. “I keep saying it: We’re not finished. We’re not finished,” Newton said.

Lynnville-Sully wrestlers win one of three duals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News EDDYVILLE — The first duals of the night did not go well for Lynnville-Sully’s wrestlers. The Hawks won three matches in the first one, losing 6-15 to Class 2A Chariton, and one match in the second dual, a 59-6 loss to host Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

Lynnville-Sully came out on top of Martensdale-St. Marys, 42-30, using seven forfeit wins.

They didn’t win any of the three matches contested on the mat. Jack Hardin lost by a pin to Logan Schumacher, who is ranked No. 2 at 170 in Class 1A, in their 182-pound match.

Hardin pinned Nathaniel Jacob in 1 minutes, 15 seconds at 182 against Chariton. The Hawks’ 138-pounder Sage Zylstra won by a fall with six seconds left in the first period against Chariton’s Adrian

Hill. At 170, Colten Arment pulled out an 11-8 win over Chariton’s Jade Spencer.

In the dual with EBF, the lone win for Lynnville-Sully came in the 152-pound match. Cayden Johnson pinned EBF’s Ryan Henkle in 3:03.

Lynnville-Sully will compete in Saturday’s South Iowa Cedar League Conference meet at Sigourney. Matches begin at 10 a.m.

Murray, Konta win on a distracting day in Melbourne MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — In keeping with the way this Australian Open has been going, Andy Murray was asked following a quarterfinal win Wednesday about the state of his game. And then, invariably, about the integrity of his sport.

Murray and a much lesser-known British player, Johanna Konta, advanced to the semifinals Wednesday. Murray beat David Ferrer 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-3 to reach the semifinals at a Grand Slam for the 18th time. The 24-year-old Konta had a 6-4, 6-1 win over Chinese qualifier Zhang Shuai.

It’s the first time since the Australian Open in December 1977 that that two British players ( John Lloyd and Sue Barker) have advanced to the final four of any major.

Konta is playing in her first Australian Open main draw, after losing in qualifying rounds three years in a row. She had a firstround win over No. 8 Venus Williams and beat No. 21 Ekaterina Makarova in straight sets in the fourth round.

Born in Australia but living in Britain since her early teens, Kon-

ta also has Hungarian citizenship and calls herself a “tri-citizen.”

Konta, the first British woman to reach a Grand Slam semifinal since Jo Durie at the 1983 U.S. Open, will play Angelique Kerber, who beat two-time champion Victoria Azarenka 6-3, 7-5.

The No. 2-ranked Murray, who has lost four finals at Melbourne Park, will meet Milos Raonic in the semifinals. The 25-year-old Canadian beat Gael Monfils 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a night match.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic and Federer will contest the other semifinal on Friday.

Since Day 1, the Australian Open has been overshadowed by media reports alleging tennis authorities had failed to thoroughly investigate match-fixing.

On Wednesday, Day 10, the governing bodies of tennis announced they will commission an independent review of their anti-corruption unit to restore “public confidence in our sport.”

Six-time champion Serena Williams and No. 4-ranked Agnieszka Radwanska will meet in the other women’s semifinal, also on Thursday.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL POLLS

Mustangs win by fall and two forfeits. Jarron Trausch is 31-5 on the year.

Dalton Schlangen was the final wrestler to finish the night 3-0. He took two forfeits but got a 23-6 technical fall victory over Van Buren’s Terry Rankin.

Junior Jakeb Fenton and sophomore Caleb Peter each won two matches by forfeit.

Van Buren stayed within six at 18-12 early in the dual against PCM, but the Mustangs finished by winning seven of the final eight matches to win easily.

PCM took five forfeits.

Moravia gave PCM the best fight on the night. It was 12all through four matches, but PCM won six of the next seven matches to take control for good. The Mustangs were given seven forfeits.

PCM won the first 10 matches against Central Decatur. The Mustangs took seven forfeits.

The Mustangs’ next competition is 6 p.m. Thursday at home against Colfax-Mingo, BGM and Tri-County/Montezuma.

ting 2 1/2 sacks and an interception in a 20-18 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC title game. “I wanted to do it for Peyton,” said Miller, who was injured and missed Denver’s loss to Seattle in the 2014 Super Bowl.

Dominant Defenses: Both of these teams excel at defense. The Broncos led the NFL with 52 sacks and allowed a league-low 283.1 yards per game, then made life difficult as can be for Brady on Sunday, knocking him to the ground over and over. No one forced more turnovers than the Panthers, and only five clubs gave up fewer points (the Broncos were one, naturally). Against Arizona, Carolina produced seven takeaways.

Carolina’s Starts: If the Panthers are able to get off to the sort of start they’ve made commonplace lately, they might not even give the Broncos a chance to make a game of it. In their two games this postseason, Carolina outscored its opponents 55-7 in the first half. That includes leads of 17-0 after one quarter and 24-7 after two against Arizona. “We wanted to start fast,” Newton said. “We wanted to keep the pressure on.”

Injuries: Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis said he broke his right forearm against Arizona — “I knew something was wrong,” he said — but sounded like someone who plans to play in the Super Bowl. The Broncos, meanwhile, lost both of their starting safeties — T.J. Ward and Darian Stewart — to injuries during Sunday’s game.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Xavier Miller, center, won his 100th career match Tuesday during the Mustangs’ quadrangular meet in Moravia. He was 3-0 on the day with two forfeits and a technical fall.

It’s that simple!

Astrograph

The usually steady, solid Virgo moon is a bit all-over-the-place now. First there’s trouble with Saturn, and then there’s bliss with Mercury, more bliss with Pluto, solidarity with Jupiter and throw in a confusing voidof-course-situation. All this is to say, who knows what to expect?

Try not to think too much into any of these scenarios and you’ll do just fine.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 27). You are what you believe yourself to be, also what your loved ones, colleagues and others believe you to be. It’s not that you’re wishy-washy; you’re quite the opposite.

You’re strong and clear, versa-

tile and capable. Expect many remarkable experiences, some even magical. February brings epiphany; May brings love, and July brings money. Virgo and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 39, 1, 22 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Often, kindred spirits are those with whom you share many similarities. In today’s case, well, you don’t really have much in common, but your complimentary energies will bring both of you luck.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Sure, you need attention. But not as much as someone close to you needs help. So your

needs will be overshadowed by the more pressing ones of the moment. Don’t worry. Your time is coming.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You don’t take yourself too seriously, and it’s apparent in the way you interact today, unafraid to say what crosses your mind even though many wouldn’t dare state the truth in the matter.

Someone could fall in love with you for this.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You never want to bother anyone, however it’s appropriate to ask for help. You’re really not putting anyone out to do so. In fact, you’ll be providing a service. Others need to give, too -- so take your turn in the receiving line.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve caught beauty in ugly places.

You’ve carved self-worth out of criticism and neglect. You’ve found freedom and authenticity in a controlled, artificial environment. For these reasons and more, celebrate yourself.

Find a new one in the classifieds!

Check the Newton Daily News & Jasper County Advertiser or online at www.newtondailynews.com.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is said that youthful enthusiasm can be put to better use by the elderly. You certainly won’t regret indulging in today’s bit of immature fun. While you’re at it, why not go all-in?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

With the lunar light pumping up your attraction quotient, you’ll get more attention than you’re comfortable with. It will feel nice at first, but soon you’ll need to apply it to a higher cause.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As much as you would love to know everything about your chosen subject, there is simply too much to fit into one lifetime of study. Just know that you’ll build for the next generation.

This will be handed down through the ages.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When you can experience conditions without commenting on them: That’s higher evolutionary human stuff there. Your stoicism will be admired today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). They will buy the idea.

They will buy the way you deliver it. They will buy you -- or at least that part of you that can be bought. Consider this your

lucky day for conveying your important creations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There’s a spiritual fire in you, one that was lit by the match of love. As it is with most matches, the thing that sets it ablaze is friction. Don’t be afraid of that.

Don’t back off. Lean into it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There is an exact right time for everything, and yet you cannot know exactly what time it is, because if you concentrated too much on the impossible logic of time, you’d miss the window.

This is something that can only be felt.
