Supervisors approve raises for county officials Board declines pay increase

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Jasper County Board of Supervisors followed the suggestion of chair Denny Carpenter and approved pay increase of 42.79 percent of the recommended amount by the Jasper County Compensation Board at its Tuesday meeting. The board itself did not take a pay increase and also decided against an additional $1,500 for the board chair.

Teachers honored

by Newton School Board

Pay increases were determined for Jasper County officials at the Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.

The board, led by chairman Denny Carpenter, did not follow the recommendations made by the Jasper County

Compensation Board but instead approved the pay increases at 42.79 percent of the recommended amount for the auditor, recorder, treasurer, county attorney and sheriff. The board decided to not take a pay increase and also passed on an additional stipend of $1,500 for the board chair.

“I would like everyone to know that one of the things that makes it difficult for us is when we have a big jump in one office at 8.32 percent and one down to 2.93 percent,” Supervisor Joe

Brock said. “It has not been our practice to give 8 percent raises here in the county. We’ve held the line on salaries.”

The compensation board recommended increase of the Jasper County Sheriff ’s salary by $7,990 to total $104,000. With the 42.79 reduction of the increase the sheriff will receive $4,571, a 4.76 percent raise, for a total of $100,581. The county attorney was recommended a $3,132 increase and received SUPERVISORS | 3A

Bergman named to most endangered property list

by Preservation Iowa

Nominators chose include words like ‘superhero,’ ‘fun’

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Listening to some of the nomination statements for the teachers honored at Monday’s Newton Community School District board meeting at Berg Elementary School, one would think the eight individuals were superheroes.

Actually, one of the descriptions referred to a teacher as a “superhero.” Superintendent Bob Callaghan and board president Sheri Benson teamed up to recognize the district’s 2014-15 Newton Community Educational Foundation’s Excellence in Education Award winners: Jen Elbert, Marla Cory, Kim Vanderlaan, Cori Latchman, Deborah Rose, Desia Kies, Alyssa Lewis and Scott Garvis.

All but Lewis and Garvis were present to receive their certificates. Each teacher received a certificate and a round of applause, as Callaghan read nomina-

tions about the district’s many talented, inspiring educators.

Elbert is a secondgrade teacher at Berg Elementary. Callaghan read excerpts from the written nominations. “‘The Newton schools should feel very proud to have such a great teacher,’” Callaghan read from Elbert’s nomination.

Cory is a kindergarten teacher at Thomas Jefferson Elementary — and the recipient of the “superhero” designation. “‘Marla has touched my child in ways that I could never completely explain to you,’” Callaghan read. “‘She teaches from the heart, with all of her heart.

She makes a difference in every child’s life — every day. She is a true superhero, and the definition of what a teacher should be.”

Vanderlaan teaches the fourth grade at Aurora Heights Intermediate School.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Preservation Iowa named the August Bergman Inn to the 2015 list of most endangered properties, along with buildings in Iowa City, Washington and Salem.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The August Bergman Inn was one of four properties designated to Preservation Iowa’s 2015 list of most endangered properties.

Preservation Iowa started the most endangered property program as a way to educate Iowans about the special buildings and historic sites that are slowly and gradually slipping away. Workers Cottages in Iowa City, the Winfield Smouse House in Washington and Bicksler Block in Salem

were also named to the list.

Since its inception in 1995, more than 140 archaeological sites, churches, landscapes and a variety of other buildings have been named to the list. Through the program it hopes to introduce owners of endangered properties to preservation advocacy resources that can help preserve the historic property.

August Bergman is also on the National Register of Historic Places and the State Historical Society of Iowa, and the National Park Service have formally recognized the Bergman House

as a significant example of the work of the pre-eminent Iowa architectural firm of Proudfoot and Bird. The Newton Historical Society has been lobbying the Newton City Council to purchase the property in order to start immediate stabilization.

The current purchase price of the property is $99,600 with a acquisition time not to exceed 18 months.

One of the members had heard Larry speak before and said, ‘Hey, let me check in and see if we could do something on the Underground Railroad,’” the Rev. Jessica Petersen said. “This is a wonderful piece of Newton’s history that people may not be aware of.”

Hurto, a Newton resident, has been a member of the Newton Historic Preservation Commission since 2011 and he chaired the Jasper County Sesquicentennial Commission from 1993 through 1997. Hurto is the author of three books about local history including “A History of Newton, Iowa” and “What do these stones mean?: A sesquicentennial history of First United Methodist Church, Newton, Iowa 1848-1998.”

Church of England consecrates first female bishop LONDON (AP) — The male monopoly in the leadership of the Church of England ended Monday, as the 500-year-old institution consecrated its first female bishop.

The Rev. Libby Lane became the eighth Bishop of Stockport in a service at York Minster. Her consecration comes after the church ended a long and divisive dispute by voting last year to allow women to serve as bishops.

“My consecration service is not really about me,” she said. “With echoes

of practice which has been in place for hundreds of years in the church, it is a reminder that what I am about to embark on is shared by the bishops around me, by those who have gone before me and those who will come after.”

The traditional service was interrupted by a lone protester, the Rev. Paul Williamson. He stepped forward and objected when the congregation was asked if it was their will that Lane be ordained. Williamson said “No!” and asked to speak, arguing there was no precedent

Lane remained stoic. The archbishop of York, John Sentamu, seemed prepared and answered with a prepared statement, a nod to the controversy that led to this moment.

Sentamu then simply moved on, asking the packed church once again if they approved. This time, the response was a thunderous “Yes!” Dozens of bishops then huddled around Lane. They placed their hands on her head — or on the shoulders of the

bishop in front of them — creating an enormous circle tinged with the red of their vestments.

Williamson said later he regretted that his intervention was not heard.

“It would have been gracious and courteous to allow me to say my piece,” he said. “But no.”

Girl Scout cookies, I wish I could quit you

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Jan. 28, 2015

They lay in wait about this time each year — like snakes in tall grass.

They are not snipers, and don’t have any speed traps set up. In fact, they don’t have any bad intentions at all. Yet they are still the people I fear running into each year.

They are Girl Scouts — and they peddle the tasty cookies I simply cannot resist.

Maybe if Girl Scout cookies were sold by foul-smelling, instead of innocent, smiling, enthusiastic child fundraisers, the sugary goodness could be resisted — but I doubt it. It probably wouldn’t matter if the most widely disliked person on the planet were selling those little discs of addiction. I can’t say no.

Sales were estimated at 200 million boxes for 2007, and that was before social media had helped the insidious trade make another leap in growth. With the aid of social media and huge online marketing possibilities, even

the typical four-inch smartphone screen presents a cookie that looks a drug that junkie simply must have.

There were some good years, when none of the well-intentioned scouts seemed to cross my path.

There should have been more rejoicing and gratitude over sweet freedom from sweet indulgences, but that’s how they roll: They chill for a while, then come back into your life with a thin-mint vengeance. It’s probably wrong to think of the cookies as deceitful individuals themselves — especially since any one human could shield or prevent other humans from getting to them.

But the delicious peanut butter and other ingredients personifies the treats, giving them a glow that remains imbedded my memory banks.

The once-a-year cycle is part of the craziness. Just as folks start exercising and burning off calories from holiday-era eating, here

comes an ambush of unavoidable baked goods. Each year, it’s easy to say we won’t be fooled this time, and that cookie awesomeness will somehow pass us by.

And each year, a few us somehow are magically granted a pass, moving into a post-Girl-Scoutcookie sobriety. Indulging in the cookies is a bit like listening to the band Poison. You know it’s a simple commercial recipe, designed to hook you in, and you try to tell yourself you’re above it, but you end up agreeing with everyone and asking for more.

Maybe there would be a situation ideal for declining such an appealing product.

However, I tend to believe that even if there were a herd of stampeding animals, or a funnel cloud touching the ground nearby, or Nickelback playing in the background, I’d still stay long enough for the scrumptious snacks.

Maybe in 1917, when the first Girl Scout troop sold its

first cookie in Oklahoma, the recipe wasn’t so perfect. But the young ladies must have found their groove fairly quickly, because the Girl Scouts’ official magazine endorsed cookie sales as a fundraising method in 1922 and published a basic recipe.

The cookies even survived World War II, as the scouts sold newspapers in addition to cookies, due to shortages of butter, flour and sugar. And all of this was before the introduction of the popular Samoa in the 1970s or Keebler agreeing to start baking some of cookies in 1998.

Hopefully, you’re not one of us who must run full-speed away from Tagalongs, Thin Mints, Shortbreads and Lemonades. For those who can relate, it’s the time of year to keep our heads on a swivel — and to not get caught off-guard.

The hot cocoa crawl of 2015

Another View

Taxpayers suffer when IRS misplaces priorities Get ready for the credibility gap to vault north between the IRS and the taxpaying public. Right before tax season kicks into high gear, the National Taxpayer Advocate issued a scathing report that exposed the tax collection agency’s misguided strategy to manage its core mission.

By Chuck Just as the Grassley IRS saddles up U.S. Senator to process around 150 million individual federal tax returns, the report suggests taxpayers, especially those who are in need of assistance, may be in for a rough ride this season.

The IRS commissioner boldly forecast that of the 100 million calls the agency expects to receive during tax season, fewer than half would reach a customer service representative.

There’s nothing like lowering the bar of expectations to rally the troops before the biggest event of the year. While it’s true the IRS likely would never achieve 100 percent customer satisfaction, the agency’s defeatist culture and lamentable mismanagement arguably prevents the agency from restoring public trust, improving voluntary compliance and narrowing the tax gap.

So instead of restructuring resources to strengthen customer service, the IRSplows stubbornly ahead, recycling a favorite excuse that will be used by Big Spenders

from now until the end of time. It says budget cuts have forced the agency to cut back on essential services and functions, including information technology, enforcement and the most basic tax return assistance.

Let’s be clear. The IRS received a hefty 64 percent budget increase from 1997 to 2012. As the federal debt climbs to infinity and beyond, now exceeding $18 trillion, the IRS needs to understand that resources are scarce. And if the IRS is looking to assign blame, let’s look in the mirror a moment. Some overdue selfreflection will show the IRS that its track record over the last year or so has prompted Congress to tighten the purse strings a bit. That doesn’t mean the agency’s belt-tightening must come at the expense of basic customer services, from processing refunds to answering the phones.

In case you missed it, let’s review a few places where the IRS has made a mess.

From targeting taxpayers based on their political views and mishandling federal recordkeeping protocols, the agency’s missteps have undercut confidence in the IRS. Just as taxpayers are expected to comply fair and square with the federal tax code, taxpayers have every reason to expect the IRS will function with integrity and competence.

Politicizing the IRS risks harming our system of voluntary compliance, corrupting effective enforcement of federal tax laws and undermining the financing of public works and services.

The agency needs effective leadership to shake up a bureau-

cracy mired in mismanagement.

No doubt, it’s a tough assignment.

The complex tax code is burdensome enough, notwithstanding the additional complications tacked on by the Affordable Care Act and troubled efforts to shut down identity fraud.

Last summer the IRS tacked up a list of taxpayer rights that it says will “renew the focus on” protecting the rights of taxpayers. The list includes the right to be informed; to receive quality service; to pay no more than the correct amount; to challenge the IRS’ position; to be eligible for an impartial appeal; to know when an audit is final; to expect due process rights; to have tax matters treated confidentially; to retain representation; and to receive a fair and just tax system.

And yet, the IRS isn’t exactly blazing trails to satisfy its customers. Tellingly, the IRS prioritizes resources when it comes to union activities, employee bonuses and lavish conferences. The recent report by the National Taxpayer Advocate and comments by the IRS commissioner instead suggest an underwhelming commitment to taxpayer rights.

As a longstanding taxpayer watchdog, I’ll continue to keep the IRS on a short leash through robust oversight and legislative reforms.

Building from bipartisan taxpayer rights laws enacted in 1988 and 1996, I am drafting new legislation with Sen. John Thune of South Dakota to strengthen several provisions, including those to root out misconduct and abuses of taxpayer rights by IRS agents and others.

My New Year’s resolution is still in full effect.

I have vowed to be more active. Not in an exercise way — please, h a v e you met me? — but in a bucki n g routine sort of way. I

By Katiedid w a n t Langrock to kick myself off the easy path.

When you have a toddler, nothing seems easy.

The only clear path is a well-trodden one. Rather than explore, you go to the same loud restaurant where no one will shoot you evil looks when your kid goes streaking past the buffet bar. You visit the same parks, ones where the street is far enough away from the playground equipment to enhance your odds of catching your child before he gleefully runs into traffic. You make sure you’re home from any activity by 1 p.m. on weekends because the lack of a nap would make the difference between your toddler and a whistling kettle indistinguishable.

All bedtimes are nonnegotiable. Sorry, Grandpa, but can you die tomorrow? I really have to get this kid home ASAP. Following the path of least resistance feels like the only sane thing to do to ensure the survival of both the hyperactive child and the dead-tired parents. But the problem is that I’ve never been a path-of-least-resistance type of person. In fact, I often court resistance.

There is something about the challenge, the new, the unexplored, the uncertainty, that makes me feel alive. Falling into this routine of motherhood has made me fall away from myself. Yes, it feels impossible and pointless to strap my child into a car seat after having worked a full day and drive 45 minutes just to try a new ice cream shop that opened downtown, only to have to turn around 15 minutes later to get home be-

fore bedtime — especially because there are dishes to be washed and bills to pay. It’s crazy. Nuts. Stupid. But that’s the kind of thing I intend to do a lot more of in 2015.

I’ve always loved exploring new places. There is nothing quite so satisfying as finding a hidden gem in your town. In my pre-prenatal years, my favorite way to discover such spots was by crawl.

During my younger years, this crawl was most often the pub kind. As I entered the workforce, I became a huge advocate of the cafe crawl. A moderately crowded cafe with good music and a comfy chair goes a long way for a writer.

Since having my son, I rarely type at cafes anymore. I rarely go out at all — at least not as I used to.

I have given up my crawl to watch my son master another kind.

Last week, I had pickup duty at my son’s day care. True to my resolution, I knew I wanted to do something fun and different rather than simply fall into our 2014 routine of putting on “Doc McStuffins” while I made dinner, followed by stories and bedtime.

It was a crisp, cold evening, and the freeze hit my brain like a jolt of genius. It was time for the great hot cocoa crawl of 2015.

I found three places online that served hot chocolate nearby. It was time to determine which was best!

By the time we reached the first location, it had just closed. The second location is now just a foundation with no building.

My son was tired of being in the car and beginning to wail, when I passed the strip mall with the third hot chocolate location. The parking lot seemed like the perfect place to hang out if getting mugged is on your bucket list. Was it worth getting my son out of his seat to go in the place that looked as if a doughnut shop and a strip club had a baby and then named it Small Pox? Nah.

Husband hopes wife is willing to spice up their love life DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married for quite a while, and our intimate life became monotonous and unimaginative a long time ago.

Over the years I have suggested we try things like role-playing and other non-extreme variations during intimate times. My suggestions were met with rolling eyes and retorts like, “I’m your wife, not a hooker.” I finally gave up and try to be content with what we have together.

Then one evening she surprised me and did one of the things I had suggested. It was very nice and she seemed to like it, too. I didn’t know what to say to her. “Thank you” somehow seemed condescending. We have done nothing like it since.

I doubt if the answer is in the etiquette books. What should I have said to her to let her know how much I appreciated her loosening up and hope it will perhaps make her more comfortable spicing things up in the future?

— ETIQUETTE ADVOCATE IN SAN DIEGO DEAR ADVOCATE: Praise is a powerful incentive. Flowers would have been nice. But since you didn’t send any, try this: Invite your wife out to dinner at a nice restaurant. Tell her how surprised and delighted you were with the special surprise she gave you.

A small gift to commemorate the occasion couldn’t hurt either.

A satisfying sex life is all about communication, and if my mail is any indicator, if more wives were uninhibited in the bedroom, there would be a lot less business for the “professionals.”

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a wonderful man for two years and am in hopes of getting a proposal soon. We are both committed to staying pure before marriage and have not been intimate.

My question to you is, do I have to tell him, now or ever, that I have had

breast implants? I did it several years ago, and it greatly improved my selfesteem. I’m glad I did it.

Since he has never felt any breasts, if I tell him, my fear is he will get hung up on the thought, “I wonder what REAL breasts feel like.” On the other hand, if I don’t tell him and sometime in the future he finds out, he may be like, “I can’t believe you kept that from me.” What would you advise? — RETICENT IN KENTUCKY DEAR RETICENT: Many women have breast enhancement surgery so their figures will be more balanced. For the reason you have mentioned, you should tell your boyfriend. It should make no difference to him. However, if it does, it’s better that you know now before you spend any more time on someone who measures the worth of a woman by how “real” her breasts are.

P.S. If he wants to know what “real” breasts feel like, tell him to go hug his mother.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: I’ll pass along this pithy sentiment shared with me by former California Gov. Gray Davis. In a commencement speech to students graduating from Columbia Law School, Davis told them: “School is fair. Life is not. Just get used to it.”

County takes step toward another I-29 interchange SIOUX CITY— The Woodbury County Board has taken a step down what could be a 10-year journey for another Interstate 29 interchange. The board committed nearly $181,000 for its share of a study that will cost $600,000. Local officials have been asking the Iowa Transportation Department since 2012 for an exit between mile markers 138 and 140 to help boost economic development. They cite traffic near Southbridge Business Park, which is being built south of Sioux Gateway Airport.

Sex abuse lawsuit against Scouts partially dismissed

CLINTON — Officials in an eastern Iowa community are warning residents to beware phone call scammers posing as someone with the sheriff ’s office and demanding them to pay unpaid traffic tickets.

Clinton County Sheriff Rick Lincoln said several people received calls over the weekend from a man saying they needed to pay off tickets generated by a traffic enforcement camera in Clinton. Lincoln said the man had threatened a person with arrest if they didn’t make an immediate payment.

DES MOINES — An attorney says a sex abuse lawsuit against the Scouts and a former scoutmaster has been partially dismissed. The lawsuit was filed in January 2013 by an unnamed man who says he was sexually abused in 1977 or 1978 when he belonged to a West Des Moines troop. The lawsuit named former scoutmaster Kenneth Newell, who now lives in Cedar Rapids.

Iowa Dems say wage theft bill would curtail fraud

Vandals turn on faucet, flood Iowa high school

The Associated Press

The Associated Press

DES MOINES — A bill introduced in the Senate would curtail wage theft in Iowa by requiring businesses to be more direct with workers about employment terms, Democrats said Tuesday.

Sen. Bill Dotzler, a Democrat from Waterloo, is co-sponsor of a measure that would require employers to share a written record of employment terms with an employee at the start of a job. Such an agreement would help the worker if there’s suspicion of wage theft in the future and the worker needs to file a formal complaint, Dotzler said.

“This legislation is common sense,” Dotzler said.

The bill would also define penalty terms and expand protection for whistleblowers. It’s identical to a bill that was introduced last session, according to Dotzler. That bill didn’t get very far, but he said he is

EPWORTH — Classes were cancelled at an eastern Iowa high school after vandals broke into the building and turned on a water faucet, flooding part of the school.

The break-in at Western Dubuque High School in Epworth happened over the weekend but wasn’t discovered until Monday morning.

By then, Superintendent Jeff Corkery said there was 1 to 2 inches of water in about a dozen classrooms.

Crews worked to dry out the school and prepare the school for the students, who returned on Tuesday.

“We have two classrooms that may not be ready (today),” Principal Dave Hoeger told the newspaper late Monday afternoon. “We’ve got fans and dehumidifiers running, and will continue to run them tonight.”

Corkery says there was thousands of dollars in damage plus additional costs for the cleanup. The situation could have been worse, but much of the flooded area is cement. Even in those areas, carpet, wood desks and books were waterlogged.

DES MOINES — Iowa’s three public universities may soon have a more uniform admissions policy for students from the growing number of high schools that do not provide class rankings.

The Iowa Board of Regents will consider a new formula next week that would affect students from roughly 40 public and private high schools that don’t rank students. Students from those schools would be automatically admitted if they score above a 245 on a mathematical formula.

“Here in Iowa, wage theft is the No. 1 crime because there’s virtually no consequence to employers who steal from the workers.”

— Justin Banks

hopeful a new legislature would seriously consider the latest measure.

Dotzler and Democratic Sen. Tony Bisignano, of Des Moines, spoke at a news conference where people shared personal stories about alleged wage theft.

“Here in Iowa, wage theft is the No. 1 crime because there’s virtually no consequence to the employers

who steal from the workers,” said Justin Banks, a former restaurant server who said his share of tips was illegally taken by management.

Sen. Rick Bertrand, a Republican from Sioux City, opposes the Democrats’ bill but attended the news conference. He said the measure would overregulate many honest businesses. He plans to introduce a bill this session that would give Iowa Workforce Development more funds to investigate wage theft cases.

He said he’s interested in setting up a hotline for affected workers that would help them navigate potential fraud.

“So again, trying to put tools in place for the person that’s being disenfranchised versus trying to do this blanket,” he said.

Iowa workers lose $600 million each year to wage theft, according to a 2012 report from the Iowa Policy Project, a left-leaning research group that tracks state policy.

Hawk wrestlers split duals on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Cole Nickell, Noah Zylstra and Blake Wehrle will have one more opportunity to wrestle at home.

Lynnville-Sully’s three seniors competed Tuesday at home on Senior Night with mixed results.

Lynnville-Sully hosts the South Iowa Cedar League tournament Saturday. All three Hawk seniors will be on the mats at home one more time.

Zylstra went 2-0 while Nickell and Wehrle, just like their team did, went 1-1 Tuesday against visiting Martensdale-St. Marys and Eddyville-BlakesburgFremont.

CMB boys end long losing streak against Mustangs

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Tommy Galloway, right, drives passed Prairie City-Monroe’s Chase Keuning for two of his game-high 15 points on Tuesday night. The Raiders rallied from a first-half deficit and won by the margin of 56-46.

MONROE — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Tommy Galloway admitted the Raiders have tried to model their program after rival Prairie City-Monroe.

The Mustangs’ success over the years is undeniable, and Galloway hopes one day CMB can get to their level consistently.

For now, Galloway and his teammates will enjoy their first win over the Mustangs in many years.

Trailing by five at halftime, the Raiders rallied to beat PCM 5646 in front of a loud and energetic crowd at PCM High School.

Three players scored in double-figures on the offensive end and the Raider defense was nearly perfect.

And the end result was an impressive win

over the Mustangs, who came into the night sitting in first place in the Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference standings.

It was CMB’s first win over PCM in at least 15 tries. The closest the Raiders got during that stretch was a 43-38 loss back in the 2007-08 season.

“This is a statement for us. The seniors have not beaten PCM so it’s big in that way,” said Galloway, who finished with a game-high 15 points. “We try to model our team around them and the success that they’ve had. They have had a good program for years and this win was big for us.”

CMB (7-8, 6-7) has gone 6-3 since starting the season 0-5. The Raiders have won four of their last five games.

On the flip side, PCM (12-4, 11-2) had its three-game win streak snapped. The Mustangs

also dropped their first HOIAC game since falling to Roland-Story back on Dec. 5.

PCM’s biggest issue continues to be the lack of offense within the half-court system.

“We have to make baskets. We have a hard time doing that. We were a little sluggish for some reason,” PCM coach Fred Lorensen said. “I don’t know what it was for sure, but we were just stagnant.

We tried to switch things up in the second half with some more movement, but that didn’t do us a lot of good either.”

Neither had much offense going in the opening quarter as PCM led 8-7 through 8 minutes.

A Trey Lindsay 3-pointer at the buzzer helped the Mustangs to a 19-14 lead at halftime.

The third quarter couldn’t have gone much better for the Raiders.

Lynnville-Sully teams split SICL games at Belle Plaine

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BELLE PLAINE — LynnvilleSully’s boys made a bid to hand South Iowa Cedar League leader Belle Plaine its first loss of the season. The Hawks pushed the undefeated Plainsmen to the brink, but came up short, 63-59, Tuesday.

The Class 1A sixth-ranked Lynnville-Sully’s girls remained undefeated also. The Hawk girls dealt out a 52-31 setback to their hosts. Lynnville-Sully’s girls improved to 17-0 overall and 15-0 in SICL play.

The Hawk boys held their own against the Plainsmen in the third quarter. Down 44-32 heading into the final eight minutes of play, the Hawks

made the run, outscoring Belle Plaine, 27-19.

“I thought our guys show a lot of heart and toughness tonight,” said Nick Harthoorn, Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach. “We weren’t able to pull out the victory, but we took some steps forward as Van Zante a team. We have some areas to improve, but we did a lot of things well tonight.”

Tyler Van Zante drained six 3-pointers for his 18 points for the Hawks.

Lynnville-Sully went 11-of-30 from 3-point range. Ben Trettin tallied 18 points plus dished out nine assists and made four steals for the Hawks.

Ly nnville-S ull y ’s girls put Belle Plaine away with an 18-8 run in the fourth quarter. The Hawks led the entire game including a 25-15 halftime advantage. They were up 34-23 after three periods.

“We did a better job of moving the ball at the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth quarter, which led to some open looks that we were able to knock down,” said Jerry Hulsing, Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach. “That sparked our defense and we were able to string together a couple of stops. I

have to give the girls credit they found a way to get it done tonight.”

The Hawk girls shot the ball better than they have of late from the field.

They were 22-of-51 for 43 percent.

Freland surpasses 1,000 in PCM’s win over CMB

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

MONROE — It didn’t take long for Rachel Freland to clinch her scoring milestone Tuesday night against CollinsMaxwell/Baxter.

The Prairie City-Monroe senior buried a 3-pointer early in the first quarter that brought several Mustang fans to their feet. That bucket put Freland past 1,000 career points and her game-high 19 led Class 3A No. 15 PCM to a 52-31 win over the Raiders.

“I am glad it’s over so we can now just concentrate on the rest of the season,” Freland said. “It’s a nice milestone because not everyone gets to achieve it, but I had great teammates in both schools and with different teams.”

Freland started her high school career at West Marshall where she scored her first 572 points in 2.5 years. She put in 174 points during the second half of last season at PCM and has scored 272 so far this year.

“She worked on her game when she was really young and you can see that,” PCM coach Bret Grier said. “She’s played a lot of basketball for a long time. The hard work has paid off. It’s a nice honor for her to have.”

The Mustangs trailed CMB 8-5 after one quarter but used a 15-4 advantage in the second to grab momentum.

Rachel Gulling hit a pair of 3-pointers and Courtney VanHouweling added a triple and a long jumper to give the Mustangs a lead they wouldn’t surrender.

“I thought our man-to-man pressure would be enough to get us going in the first quarter, but we came out flat de-

Streak Continued from Page 1B CMB scored 14 points total in the first two frames but erupted for 21 in each of the final two quarters. And they outscored PCM 42-27 in the second half.

After Logan Gilman scored to put PCM up seven, CMB went on a 15-3 run to take control of the game. Included in that key stretch was a pair of 3-pointers by Bryce Kemp and Galloway and Kemp also converted a 3-point play that put the Raiders up five with 2 minutes to go in the third They began the fourth with back-to-back triples from Joey Nissen and Galloway to take their largest lead of the game at 41-29.

“It was a key stretch. We

don’t want to be volume shooters. We want to be more efficient,” CMB coach Scott Brummel said. “We took a good number of 3s in the first half but weren’t hitting them.

In the second half, we starting hitting them and that opened the offense up for us.”

The Mustangs didn’t go down without a fight.

Chase Keuning’s jumper cut the CMB lead to seven, but Seth Balke hit 3-of-4 from the line on the Raiders’ next two possessions to push the lead back to 10.

But consecutive 3-pointers by Gilman and Lindsay shaved the Mustangs’ deficit to just four with 2:03 to play.

That’s as close as PCM would get though. CMB put away the win at the foul line, where it connected on 10-of12 from the charity stripe in

fensively and we were stagnant offensively,” Grier said. “It was a much better second-half that’s for sure.”

PCM led 20-12 at the break and pushed the lead to 11 after three quarters. A 20-10 advantage in the fourth catapulted the final margin to 21.

“The 21 points tonight is better than the 30 they beat us by in Baxter earlier this year, so I guess we improved,” CMB coach Jamie Zabel said. “We turned it over under their basket four times and that led to four layups.”

The four layups were converted by Freland as she recorded four steals at the front end of PCM’s full-court press.

Freland scored back-tothe final 1:39.

“They did a nice job of making free throws down the stretch. We got it down to four and had a chance to do something, but we couldn’t finish the deal,” Lorensen said. “We just had too many empty possessions where we didn’t get a shot up at all or didn’t take a good shot. At the same time, they were making some shots and that’s a bad combination for us.”

The Raiders made 17of-34 from the floor and 18-of-24 from the line, but Brummel credited his team’s defense as the biggest reason for the victory.

And the first responsibility for any defense playing against PCM is finding a way to contain Gilman.

“Our defense was it tonight,” Brummel said. “We

back buckets midway through the third to put PCM up by 12. She later scored the Mustangs’ first nine points of the fourth and that extended the home team’s advantage to 4124.

“She’s so lengthy and has great anticipation.” Grier said of Freland. “She’s like a free safety in football. She reads eyes and does a very good job at creating steals off our press.”

PCM (12-5, 12-2) went to a “delay” offense with 7 minutes to play in the game. It was something the coaching staff just recently added to the playbook, but it might be needed more moving forward.

“That’s something we just put in, and it’s something we

That’s one of the better defensive performances we have had this year.”

Lindsay led the Mustangs with 15 points, six rebounds and four steals.

Gilman added 14 points and eight boards, while Chase Keuning scored nine points and Ricky Reeve corralled 10 rebounds.

Kemp complimented Galloway’s 15 points with 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Balke had just four points through 28 minutes of game time but finished with 13 and also had seven rebounds, six assists and three steals.

Newton junior varsity wrestlers compete

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GREENFIELD — Newton High’s junior varsity wrestlers competed in Monday’s Pride of Iowa Junior Varsity tournament hosted by Nodaway Valley High School.

The Cardinals finished fourth with 69 points. Van Meter won the team title with 104 points.

It was an all-Newton final in the 113-pound division. Jonathon Lawton defeated teammate Aren Sorensen 10-2 for first place. Lawton and Sorensen had each pinned Nathan Stone of Pleasantville and Lance Thompson of Interstate 35.

Noah Hammer placed second at 152 pounds for Newton.

Hammer went 3-1 with a major decision of 12-4 over Dustin Linn of Pleasantville and he pinned Burke Suckow of Van Meter and Cole Dickenson of Interstate 35. His loss was by a fall to Noah Hale of Van Meter.

think we might need in the upcoming games,” Grier said.

“And you never know when you might need it in the tournament.”

CMB (2-15, 2-12) has played well early in a lot of games this year. But the Raiders can’t seem to hold the momentum consistently.

“We played well when they were in the man-to-man, but when they went to a 1-3-1 zone we started to stop looking inside and that hurt us,” Zabel said. “We threw too many skip passes that led to layups at the other end.”

VanHouweling, who scored her 1,000th point last Tuesday against Roland-Story, finished with 12 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals in the win. Gulling chipped in eight points and four boards as well.

CMB senior Lexi Breon scored all eight of the Raiders’ points in the first quarter and finished with a team-high 13 in the loss. Carter Larson and Brianda Bane each scored six points as well.

The win for PCM keeps the Mustangs even with Nevada at 12-2 in HOIAC play. Gilbert (11-3) and Saydel (10-3) also are still in the alive for the league championship.

The Mustangs host North Polk on Friday, and CMB heads to South Hamilton.

Astrograph Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015

The phrase associated with Taurus is “I have,” but it just as well may be “I don’t have” for the way Taurus energy tends to focus us on shopping lists and retail shelves.

The Moon is in Taurus for much of the day tempting the dollars right out of our pockets. Exercise self-control. Remember, the cost of luxury doesn’t always have to be financial.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 28). To invigorate your journey, the path needs to veer in the next four weeks. Ask for suggestions from people you admire in February. One remarkable change you make will color up the rest of your year. A super-sweet individual will make life dreamy in April. Invest in your family in May. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 7, 50, 22 and 18.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t give in to the group mind. It’s not wrong, so much as it’s inferior to the ideas you can come up with if you sequester

yourself in a quiet place to think for a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s tempting to ask for fewer problems, but you’ll be better off with a “bring it on” attitude. More problems mean more solutions; more solutions mean more capabilities. You’re destined for greatness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though the glamour of far-flung, fantasy achievements may keep stars in your eyes and a fire in your belly, it’s the small and reasonable goals that will lead you to actual improvements.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Why talk seriously about life? The trifling matters don’t deserve such a heavy tone, and the important matters are unbearable unless approached with the levity of humor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your way with people will get you deals, invitations and, perhaps best of all, the truth (if that’s what you want to hear). It can be

fun to know the truth when you’re the only one around who does.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life is like a musical today -- people sing out when they are filled with emotion. Well, maybe they won’t exactly sing, sing, but they’ll make more noise to let you know what’s important to them.

getting out of your circle of friends and loved ones is so crucial to personal growth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you don’t pass failure on the way to success, you’re not aiming for a significant enough success.

The game is only fun when there’s a fair amount of risk involved.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In many environments, boldness is rewarded. Today’s environment calls for restraint. Subtlety will be noticed. Believing in the power of small, thoughtful moves takes a kind of inner boldness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You appreciate the beauty of a good list, especially on a day like today when there is so much you want to do in so many different categories of life.

List-making will keep you organized.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Plan your next travel and your mind will fly before the rest of you into the adventure. This will lighten your mood, which is in danger of getting bogged down with the sameness of recent days.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The power is inside you. Keep affirming this throughout the day because there will be temptations to reach for sources of power outside of yourself that you do not need.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Each person brings out something slightly different in you. That’s why
