Newton Fire Academy back for second year

Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit highlights industry’s future

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Leaders look to Trump for support

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News ALTOONA — Renewable fuels industry leaders brimmed mostly with optimism at the Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit on Tuesday.

Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw delivered an industry overview. He said the state of Iowa’s renewable fuels industry is uncertain but unrelenting.

“We are ready to expand and bring cheaper, cleaner, home-grown fuels to the U.S. and world consumers,” Shaw said.

Much of the summit’s discussion was focused on President Donald Trump’s new administration and its impact on ethanol and biodiesel. Shaw said uncertainty stems from some of Trump’s cabinet appointees because of their track records of opposing the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).

However, Shaw noted that, “One year ago at this very conference, then-candidate Donald Trump pledged to pro-

Have you ever wondered what a firefighter does all day? Are you curious about how they fight fires and deal with hazardous materials? If so, then the Newton Fire Department 2017 Citizen Fire Academy is for you.

The six-week course will delve into everything from the history of firefighting and hazardous materials response to actually fighting a fire in a staged fire scenario. Courses start on April 18 and are scheduled from 6 to 10 p.m. every Tuesday until a graduation ceremony and family picnic on May 23.

“It is always nice when you can get people in who are interested in what you do and actually see what it is because it can be hard to explain,” Newton Firefighter and Paramedic Joe Coen said.

Coen, who is organizing the academy, is excited to see the program grow in its second year and once again share the variety of work the department does every day.

Those attending the academy will start the program by attending an orientation including introductions to those administering the academy, a history of the fire department and its function, a station tour and the opportunity to put on fire gear the professionals use every day.

tect and defend the RFS.” The RFS was created in 2005 and mandates the integration of renewable fuels into the country’s gasoline. Rick Perry, Trump’s Secretary of Energy, was an opponent of the RFS while Governor of Texas. Rex Tillerson, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State, has caused some anxiety for people in the renewable fuels industry because of his decade-long position as

CEO for oil giant ExxonMobil.

Keynote speaker Bob Dinneen, President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, spoke overwhelmingly positive of Trump and titled his summit speech “Making Ethanol Great Again.”

Dinneen acknowledged Trump cabinet members, including Perry and Tillerson, and their potential threats to the RFS, but he said it was Trump’s administration

— not Perry’s or Tillerson’s.

Dinneen said it will be refreshing to have a president who will fight for the renewable fuels industry. He cited Trump’s support of the RFS on the campaign trail and the president’s regulatory reform agenda. Dinneen said he looks forward to having a president who will put America first.

The Jasper Community Foundation is announcing its request for grant proposals for 2017.

The Foundation recently received its County Endowment Fund Program award allocation from the State of Iowa to facilitate endowment building and grant making throughout Jasper County.

The contribution to the Foundation was made possible by the Iowa General Assembly. Several years ago the Iowa legislature passed bills to encourage foundation building and community-based philanthropy. Among these measures was HF 2032 which provided that non-gambling counties, initiating a county-wide community foundation would be eligible to receive .08 percent of the state’s gross gambling tax receipts.

In 2016, the Jasper Community Foundation disbursed $85,836 to 20 different nonprofit organizations throughout the county. These funds

Reading with Orion New therapy dog visits Newton Public Library weekly

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Therapy dogs may come and go from the Newton Public Library, but the impact they have on young readers will always remain true.

Cynthia Healy and her therapy dog Orion have been visiting the library since November, and they serve as expert listeners for children learning to read.

Every Monday afternoon, Orion, a 12-year-old golden retriever, can be found in the children’s section of the library relaxing with his owner

Healy as they help children read books. Children’s librarian Phyllis Peter said Orion’s mellow and nurturing character puts children at ease.

“It’s a great way for kids to make reading fun,” Peter said.

“The word is definitely starting to get out now.”

Peter said kids might feel self conscious when they read, and Orion will help ease their worries.

Newton Church of The Way serves first community meal Community meal serves more than 150 people

Ashton Church and Cemetery Assoc. meeting on Sunday The annual meeting of the Ashton Church and Cemetery Association will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday at the chapel in Mingo.

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Newton Church of The Way served its first community meal Saturday and the turnout was far from scarce.

The community meal helped feed more than 150 people in Newton, and the leftover food was donated to the Newton Fire Department and other families in need.

Ann White, a member of The Way, said she came up with the idea after she realized her community was in need of food and fellowship. White said when she got her idea approved, she and a few other church members formed a committee to start brainstorming.

“It was a long thinking process,” White said.

The first meal consisted of soup, fruit, turkey and ham sandwiches and various beverages. White said the church congregation donated a lot of the food and a local sandwich business even lent a helping hand.

“The manager at Jimmy John’s donated 200 loaves of bread,” White said. “We cut them into thirds and we are saving the rest for our next meal,” she said.

White said they will continue to pick organizations to donate food to after each community meal.

“We picked the fire department because we wanted show appreciation to those who serve us,” White said.

White said they also received volunteers from Discover Hope to help serve food and to help find families in need, which helped make the first meal a true community effort.

“Whenever we asked, we received,” White said. “It was just wonderful.”

White has been a resident of Jasper County for more than 20 years, and she said that she was attending church in Des Moines before becoming a member of Newton Church of The Way two

“This is our home and we just felt like we needed to be in our community,” White said. “We found a new church home, and The Way is so active in the community.”

White said she has become aware of the needs in Newton, and she believes they need to be addressed.

White said the committee members put up posters around town at The Salvation Army, at the pregnancy center and community center.

“I think you have to put Jesus’s purpose out there and we have to have fellowship,” White said. “ Jenifer Widner, a leader at

Discover Hope, said White came to her when the idea first came about.

“We are friends, and I wanted to support her,” Widner said. “I am a leader at Discover Hope, and I thought it would be a great community service for our volunteers.”

White said the church is working on establishing a date for the next meal.

“We wanted to see how this one went first,” White said. “I’m sure we are going to continue doing this.”

Most religious groups come out against Trump refugee order Rabbi Joel Mosbacher had just finished the morning’s Shabbat service when he got an urgent message: Rabbis were needed at New York’s Kennedy Airport. People were being detained under President Donald Trump’s sharp travel restrictions on refugees.

Would he come pray?

By sundown, Mosbacher was part a group of rabbis at the airport, playing guitar and conducting a Havdalah service marking the end of the Sabbath. About 2,000 people gathered to rally against the new policy.

“We know what it’s like to be the stranger,” said Mosbacher, a Reform rabbi at Temple Shaaray Tefila, noting that

Jewish refugees were at times turned away from the U.S. “As a person of faith, it was so important to be there.”

From pulpits to sidewalk vigils, clergy have been part of a religious outpouring against Trump’s plan to suspend refugee entry from seven majority Muslim countries.

Faith leaders who support the president’s executive order as a way to fight terrorism have been far less vocal, ceding the religious discussion to those overwhelmingly opposed to the president’s sweeping immigration order, which suspends refugee admissions for four months and indefinitely bars refugees from Syria.

The U.S. Conference of

Catholic Bishops, which runs the largest refugee resettlement network in the country, said it “strongly disagreed” with the prohibitions and pledged to work “vigorously to ensure refugees are humanely welcomed.” The Orthodox Union, the largest association for American Orthodox synagogues, acknowledged the complexities of fighting terror, but said “discrimination against any group based solely upon religion is wrong and anathema to the great traditions of religious and personal freedoms upon which this country was founded.”

Trump’s executive order gives preference to refugees

fleeing their countries over religious persecution. The president told the Christian Broadcasting Network he aims to prioritize Christian refugees.

Still, relatively few evangelicals have voiced support for the idea.

Among those who did offer support was the Rev. Franklin Graham, whose aid agency, Samaritan’s Purse, works with refugees in Iraq, Greece and other nations. Graham said in a statement that he backed a closer examination of refugees’ views on “freedom and liberty” and that Islamic law was incompatible with the Constitution.

las and a vocal supporter of Trump, told “Fox & Friends” television show that Trump was “fulfilling his God-given responsibility to protect this country.” A few protesters gathered outside his church during services, with one carrying a sign that read, “Love Thy Neighbor.”

“We believe in security. We believe in careful vetting.

The second session introduces emergency medical services and is presented by Capt.

Chad Ray. Participants will tour an ambulance, have the opportunity to be hooked up to monitors, administer a blood pressure test and learn what it takes to become a paramedic.

During the third week, the hazardous materials response team, lead by Capt.

George Montgomery, will share how they deal with HMR situations and live situations will be given to the participants to work through, if they choose.

“We actually put you in a Level A suit, a fully encapsulated suit where you breath tanked air.

We also practice figuring out what a chemical is,” Coen said. “We then determine what we need to do to make the scene safe.”

An education on technical rescues will be given by Capt. Steve Ashing, including how harnesses are used and lifting procedures. The following week, Ray will introduce firefighting and a planned burn cell will be set up to show how fast different materials can burn. Academy attendees will also have the chance to work

“At the end of the day, Trump is a business man,” Dinneen said. “He understands the importance of trade.

He knows what our industry and what farmers need in terms of export opportunities, and he’s negotiating right now.”

Gov. Terry Branstad, who spoke at the summit, and Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey reDinneen ceived the praise of Dinneen. Branstad is the most articulate and effective advocate for farmers and agriculture, and Northey is the hardest working state secretary of agriculture there has ever been, Dinneen said.

“You make sure that you’re sending to Washington and to Des Moines folks that understand your priorities, and that makes a huge difference,” Dinneen said to the summit crowd.

Shaw said he is an optimist and the renewable fuels industry will continue its push for market access and consumer choice, despite the power and resources of the oil industry.

“All the big oil profits in the world cannot change the fact that ethanol is cheaper, cleaner and higher octane,” Shaw said. “We must be unrelenting because America’s farmers are counting on us to create demand for their commodities and American consumers are counting on us to provide cheaper, cleaner fuels.”

Iowa has a bounty of corn, and ethanol is often given glowing reviews in the state. However, recent research has called into question the effectiveness of Iowa’s renewable fuels. University of Michigan Energy Institute Research Professor John DeCicco told the Newton Daily News the idea that ethanol burns cleaner than petroleum is “pure fiction.”

DeCicco released a study last year which concluded that the corn crops used to produce ethanol do not recycle enough carbon dioxide to offset the costly production of the biofuel.

Carbon dioxide emissions contributing to climate change are actually higher from ethanol when production methods are accounted for, DeCicco said.

“The rhetoric that (ethanol) is cleaner burning is just that — rhetoric,” DeCicco said.

Despite questions about the environmental impact of ethanol and biodiesel, Iowa’s biofuels saw a record-producing year in 2016. Shaw said this production was to the benefit of farmers, ranchers, ethanol plants, Iowa’s small towns and American consumers.

“On the Iowa front, 2016 was a banner year,” Shaw said. “Iowa’s 43 ethanol plants produced a record 4.1 billion gallons — processing 1.45 billion bushels of Iowa corn into fuel and feed. That keeps Iowa No. 1 in ethanol production, accounting for roughly 27 percent of U.S. production.”

But, it’s still a dog movie W

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Langmaid

ith the amount of controversy in our world, I really wish there wasn’t a dilemma about a dog movie.

The movie “A Dog’s Purpose” finally debuted this past Friday after animal abuse allegations were brought forward and an alarming video was sent to TMZ news just a few weeks prior to the movie’s premiere. The video showed a dog trainer continually attempting to push an apparently frightened German Shepard into rushing water during the filming of one scene, and at one point the dog clinged on to its trainer.

The nearly two-minute video prompted outrage among a lot of viewers, as there was clearly some sort of struggle between the dog and this film crew member before the dog went sailing into the water.

The video went viral, causing members of PETA to issue a statement and even caused Universal Pictures to raise eyebrows, and they canceled the premiere.

The main character of the movie, Dennis Quaid, said in an interview with the Today Show that the video sent to TMZ had been edited to look worse than it really was. Quaid said the dog had been jumping into the water after a toy just moments before. He also said the dog was frightened at first because he was jumping into the water at a different angle than before.

Quaid said there were rescue swimmers in the water and the dog was able to touch the bottom of the stunt pool.

However, Quaid’s remarks and rebuttals seemed somewhat rehearsed, and he completely overlooked the terror the dog

seemingly had shown.

He also put into question if the person who filmed the video was so alarmed by the alleged abuse, then why didn’t he or she bring the video forward right after it happened — not months later.

“They were waiting on a better price from TMZ,” Quaid said.

From the moment I saw the previews of this movie, it brought warmth to my heart, as I love any good ol’ dog story. I have watched “Marley and Me” a handful of times, and I still get choked up.

Though I hadn’t planned to see “A Dog’s Purpose” in theatres, I did plan to watch the movie at some point, maybe once it came out on DVD or Redbox. However, I had only heard bits and pieces of the alleged animal abuse during the filming, and I hadn’t really done any research of my own until just the other day.

I understand the film crew was probably under a lot of pressure to get the scene “just right,” and they probably were tired, overworked and crabby,

but why not give the poor dog a break?

I find my sweet and exuberant Labrador needs constant reassurance and affection. So, why didn’t one of those rescue swimmers go over to where the dog was and swim in the rushing water below him?

Dogs are smart. If they see a human can swim in scary water, then they too may feel more safe and secure. I can’t believe that dog trainer wouldn’t have tried different tactics than just pushing and clawing off the poor pup.

This particular video does make me leery about what other things have happened on the set of movies with animals who don’t want to always do what humans have planned in their big, important scripts.

But, it’s still a dog movie, and the other part of me really wants to see the story-line and how it plays out. Maybe someday I will check it out, if my conscience can tolerate it.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

The left’s vagina-based politics demeans women In an attempt to demonstrate outrage at ... at ... well, at something, some three million people across the country, mostly women, participated in women’s marches. The scattershot platform for the march included public funding for contraception and abortion, equal pay, protections for illegal immigrants, anti-Israel activism and taxpayer-subsidized tampons, among other disparate causes.

What united them? Hatred for the reality that Donald Trump was sworn in as president of the United States on Jan. 20.

Two contrasting images emerged from the march itself: first, people filling the streets out of pure, unadulterated but vaguely motivated frustration; second, some of the most egregiously perverse speeches and signage in modern political history.

While the left celebrated the first image — isn’t this a sign of a political uprising in the making? — it ignored the second image, which is far more likely to backfire than to generate enthusiasm.

That second image was promulgated by celebrities like Ashley Judd, who was once considered a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for the Senate in Kentucky. The has-been actress raged: “I am a nasty woman. ... I didn’t know devils could be resurrected, but I feel Hitler in these streets. A mustache traded for a toupee. ... I am nasty like the bloodstains on my bed sheets. We don’t actually choose if and when to have our periods. Believe me, if we could, some of us would.

We do not like throwing away our favorite pairs of underpants. Tell me, why are pads and tampons still taxed when Viagra and Rogaine are not?”

Meanwhile, thousands of women donned “p——hats,” or pink knit caps with cat ears, designed to rebuke Trump for the “Access Hollywood” tape in which he said he could grab women “by the p——” and get away with it. They marched with signs reading, “Leave My P—— Alone” and “If abortion is murder then b—-jobs are cannibalism” and “This P—— Bites And She Slays.” NARAL Pro-Choice America handed out signs with similar messages.

This reduction of women to their constituent body parts is particularly ironic coming from the same side of the political aisle that declares that men sometimes have vaginas and that some women have penises. But more importantly, reducing female priorities to killing babies and increased funding for maxi pads merely objectifies women. Instead of recognizing that women have all sorts of political views, instead of recognizing that many women believe that they ought to be left alone by government in order to pursue their dreams, the women’s marches declared that government has to treat vaginal possession with a sort of victim status, deserving of special protection.

The suggestion that the government must guarantee special privileges for women because their biology makes them somehow lesser, or that abortion rights are necessary to achieve equality, reduces the fight for female equality to the fight for female sameness . That’s insulting to women.

And it’s off-putting to voters. If these women are so concerned about vulgarity, why do they embrace it? If they’re so upset that Trump supposedly reduces women to body parts, why promote that same silly thinking?

The left tried to run on the War on Women in 2016 and lost. Now they’re doubling down. But apparently, so long as they can pat themselves on the back for their unearned moral superiority, they’ll be happy.

However, due to the budget shortfall in the current fiscal year’s budget which was realized in the updated Revenue Estimating Conference’s (REC) December report, we were forced to take a detour from our regular course of action. In order to balance the budget this fiscal year (FY17), it was necessary to make adjustments — deappropriations — before we could get to work on the next fiscal year (FY18).

Regardless of the type of budget — family, business, or government — cutting back is never an easy (or popular) thing to do.

However, when actual revenues fall short of what was initially projected, there is no other recourse than to tighten the belt.

Several have questioned why the need for a deappropriations bill when the FY17 budget was supposedly balanced at the adjournment of the 2016 legislative session. The answer is that it was balanced based on the estimate the legislature was given, by law, at that time. Due to a sluggish agricultural econo-

Wife is surprised her soul mate is looking for sex with men DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 35 years. Our sex life was never very active, but we have been each other’s soul mates and best friends. We had a rough few years early on, but managed to come back together, and our relationship is great.

Recently, while I was setting up new email addresses, I saw some messages he had sent in response to requests from married men looking for sex with other men. I just can’t reconcile this with the man I know; however, I’m sure it’s true.

I’m not sure if I should tell him I know, or if I should try to forget it. After all, I may be the reason he’s looking for sexual satisfaction elsewhere. More than anything, I’m surprised he’s not looking for a woman. I’m sure confused. What should I do? — SOUL MATES IN TEXAS DEAR SOUL MATES: I seriously doubt that this is your fault. Your husband doesn’t look for women to satisfy his sex drive because his orientation may be homosexual (or bisexual) rather than heterosexual.

You say you are soul mates and best friends. Soul mates and best friends communicate honestly with each other. I do think you should level with him about what you discovered. Is his having sex outside of your marriage all right with you? If you have had sexual relations with him over the last few years, make an appointment with your doctor to be checked for STDs. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 30-year-old woman who has been with my boyfriend for a year and a half. He’s a great guy who treats me wonderfully. I know he sees marriage in our future, and that’s where my problem lies.

I’ve heard the saying that one should only marry someone (or even be with them) if one can’t imagine life without that person. Well, if I picture my life without him, I see myself being perfectly fine. Yes, I’d miss him, but I still think I could be happy without him. I don’t imagine ever feeling devastated like other people feel when they

break up with someone. Is this a sign that something is missing from the relationship? — STILL ALL RIGHT IN NEW JERSEY DEAR STILL ALL RIGHT: I don’t think so. The only thing that’s “missing” is the fact that you are not so emotionally dependent on your boyfriend that you couldn’t function if something were to happen to him.

And in my opinion, that’s actually healthy, because relationships and marriages don’t last forever, even when we wish them to.

DEAR ABBY: Why is it that when adults are trying to get to know my children, the first thing they want to know is who they have a crush on? Not only is that an extremely personal question, it’s also the least significant part of their lives and not something I want them to dwell on.

Ask instead what their favorite subject is, if they read a book recently they enjoyed, what kinds of activities they participate in or clubs they belong to.

Please stop telling them that “surely some cute little kid” must have caught their eye. — WISE ONE IN VIRGINIA DEAR WISE ONE: I agree.

Young children may “like” someone, but may find it embarrassing to talk about. Another question, in addition to the ones you have suggested, might be, “Who are your friends, and what do you like doing with them?”

One found dead; man charged with murder KEOKUK — Police in Keokuk say they have arrested a man after finding a person dead in a house near Keokuk’s riverside.

Police say officers were called around 9:45 a.m. Monday to the house regarding a death. Inside, officers found a body and determined the death was suspicious.

Later in the afternoon, police arrested 23-year-old Devan Joseph Williams, of Keokuk, and charged him with first-degree murder. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the victim’s cause of death.

DES MOINES — A trial date has been set next year for the lawsuit filed by the owner of the former Argosy Sioux City riverboat casino against its local partner. Penn National Gaming’s breach of contract action against Missouri River Historical Development is set to go to trial next year in Des Moines. The development group was the state-licensed nonprofit group that held the Argosy’s gambling license.

The lawsuit says the development group schemed to replace the Argosy with another operator even before their contract expired.

DES MOINES — The nation’s top publisher of magazines and websites for women has announced the layoff of 40 employees.

Meredith Corp. spokesman Art Slusark says the job cuts are part of a company reorganization that included promotions, new assignments and the layoff of about 1 percent of its 3,800 workers.

Half are in New York and half are in other company locations including 10 in Des Moines, the company’s headquarters.

GOP lawmakers OK bill to defund Planned Parenthood in Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa will pass up millions in federal dollars in order to remove state funding for Planned Parenthood under a bill approved Tuesday by a group of Republican lawmakers, and the measure has strong support in the new GOP-majority Legislature.

The 8-5 vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee followed hours of stalled debate over the measure, which proposes creating a state-run program that distributes money for family planning services to organizations that don’t provide abortions.

No family planning dollars are now spent on abortions in Iowa, a point that highlights the philosophical differences in the Iowa statehouse after the Nov. 8 election. Democrats lost control of the Senate for the first time in years, and they had previously stopped such legislation from advancing.

Sen. Amy Sinclair, a Republican member of the committee, emphasized the bill would redistribute money to rural health clinics that offer family planning services.

“Please note women will not go without exams or care or screenings,” she said. “They’ll just be able to receive those services right where they live and in conjunction with their broader health care needs.”

The four-page bill proposes Iowa give up participation in a Medicaid program that brings in about $3 million for family planning services in Iowa. The state con-

tributes about $300,000 under a matching system.

The bill does not include a price tag, but Gov. Terry Branstad has proposed that Iowa tap into separate federal dollars in order to fund the state program for about $3.4 million. Branstad’s plan would remove dollars designated for preventative programs for at-risk youth.

Sen. Janet Petersen, a Democratic committee member, said the bill would end up costing the state more money, increase unintended pregnancies and hurt access to specialized health care.

She noted the bill, filed on the first day of the legislative session, is one of only a handful co-spon-

sored by every Republican senator. Another bill would add gun rights to the state constitution.

She questioned how she would react if she was an Iowa taxpayer watching the legislative activity at the Capitol.

“I’d be thinking, ‘Are they really working for me?” she said. “I think the Iowa agenda is much bigger than guns and pap smears.”

The legislation now heads to the full Senate for a floor vote.

Supporters and opponents of the bill gathered at the Iowa Capitol for the meeting, and the turnout —several dozen — meant some people were unable to watch portions of the discussion.

Tina Dicks, 48, came to the statehouse from the nearby suburb of Bondurant with her twin 15-year-old daughters. Dicks, who works in fundraising, said she supports the measure because she feels strongly that no taxpayer dollars should be linked to an organization that perform abortions.

“We’re here to let these legislators know that we want to be a voice for the unborn,” she said.

Victoria Szopinski, 60, wore a Planned Parenthood T-shirt, pink cardigan and pink scarf to listen in on the meeting.

The retiree from Ames, just north of Des Moines, said she expected to be at the Capitol several more times this year amid debate over abortion restrictions.

“We’re living in a world of fake news and alternative facts,” she said. “The idea that these services will be available from other places is a misnomer.”

Senator: Army Corps told to approve Dakota pipeline easement BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The acting secretary of the Army has ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to allow construction of the Dakota Access pipeline under a Missouri River reservoir, a North Dakota senator said, the latest twist in the months-long legal battle over the $3.8 billion project.

The Standing Rock Sioux, whose opposition to the project attracted the support of thousands of protesters from around the country to North Dakota, immediately vowed to return to court to stop it.

Sen. John Hoeven announced late Tuesday that Robert Speer directed the Army Corps of Engineers to “proceed” with an easement necessary to complete the pipeline. Hoeven said he also discussed Speer’s order with Vice President Mike Pence, just a week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order signaling his support for the project.

A spokesman for the U.S. Army did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday night. Hoeven spokesman Don Canton said Speer’s move means the easement “isn’t quite issued yet, but they plan to approve it” within days.

The crossing under Lake Oahe, a wide section of the Missouri River in southern North Dakota, is the final big chunk of work on the pipeline designed to carry North Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois.

The pipeline has been the target of months of protests led by the Standing Rock Sioux, whose reservation lies near the pipeline’s route and who have argued that it’s a threat to water and tribal artifacts.

The tribe has vowed to challenge any granting of the easement in court, and Chairman Dave Archambault renewed that vow Tuesday night.

“If it does become a done deal in the next few days, we’ll take it to the judicial system,” Archambault said. He added: “This is a good indicator of what this country is going to be up against in the next four years. So America has to brace itself.”

The developer, Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners, said the pipeline would be safe.

An environmental assessment conducted last year determined the crossing would not have a significant impact on the environment. However, then-Assistant Army Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy on Dec. 4 declined to issue an easement, saying a broader environmental study was warranted.

Energy Transfer Partners called Darcy’s decision politically motivated and accused then-President Barack Obama’s administration of delaying the matter until he left office.

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Feb. 1, 2017 Local & State News New meningococcal immunization requirements announced

8A |

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), Bureau of Immunization, has completed the administrative rules process to require meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccine for students enrolling in seventh and 12th grades.

The administrative rule change was effective Jan. 11, and will be implemented at the beginning of the upcoming 2017-18

school year.

If you have a child between seventh and 12th grade, check their immunization record to ensure they have received the meningococcal vaccine.

If they have not, contact your doctor for an appointment. If you do not have a doctor and are on Medicaid or lack insurance, call Jasper County Health Department at

641-787-9224 to set up an immunization appointment.

The change requires a one-time dose of meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccine received on or

after 10 years of age for applicants in grades 7 and above, if born after Sept.

15, 2004; and two doses of meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccines for applicants in grade 12, if born after Sept. 15, 1999; or one dose if received when applicants are 16 years of age or older.

Meningococcal disease is very serious. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of

people with meningococcal disease die even with appropriate treatment.

Of those who recover, up to 20 percent suffer from serious after-effects, such as permanent hearing loss, limb loss, or brain damage. Meningococcal vaccines are very safe and effective at preventing meningococcal disease.

The meningococcal vaccine is 85 to 100 percent

effective at preventing infection from the subtypes of meningococcus found in the vaccine. The National Immunization Survey Teen, 2015 results indicate 75 percent of Iowa adolescents 13 to17 years of age have received one dose of the Meningococcal (A, C, W, Y) vaccine.

The national average for one dose of meningococcal vaccine is 81.3 percent.

Cardinal boys dispatch Indians

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Taking it to the hoop is Newton High’s Connor Gholson (22) against Oskaloosa in Tuesday’s home game. Gholson led the Cardinals with 26 points as they beat the visiting Indians, 67-36.

Five straight victories have Newton High’s Cardinal boys making a statement as the regular season winds down toward the Class 4A playoffs.

The Cardinals dispatched Oskaloosa’s Indians in a dominate performance Tuesday in front of a home crowd. Newton posted a 67-36 victory in Little Hawkeye Conference play to run its overall mark to 12-4.

Newton is 7-4 in LHC action in a three-way tie with Dallas Center-Grimes and Pella Christian for second in the conference. They earned their third conference series sweep this season.

Up next for the surging Cardinals is a rematch with Class 3A second-ranked Pella at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Pella.

The Little Dutch (16-1, 10-1) escaped the NHS gym earlier with an 84-83 overtime win against the Cardinals.

“We played this game at a playoff game pace. Our kids understand every possession counts, you have to make stops and you havee to run a great half-court offense. That is what playoff basketball turns into when it’s loser-out,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said.

He said the Cardinals understand how to do that at a high level, and it showed in their performance Tuesday night.

“Now, Friday night it will be a whole different deal. That game will be played at breakneck speed, but that’s the beauty of our team. We can play both styles effectively,”

Liley said.

Newton’s top scorers — senior guard Connor Gholson and Garrett Sturtz — put the Cardinals on the right track early scoring the first eight points — four apiece — of the game. The Indians answered with a six-point run ending on a 3-pointer by Rian Yates.

Gholson, who finished 26 points in the game to increase his NHS career-scoring mark to 1,217, nailed a trey of his own. He had four 3-pointers on the night. Josh Ventling had a layup just before the first-quarter buzzer to give Newton a 13-6 lead.

Oskaloosa stayed within striking distance early in the second quarter. At the 4:38 mark, Gholson had a basket followed by a three-point play

by Morgan Maher. A field goal from Gholson pushed Newton’s lead to 24-13.

Back-to-back baskets from Jarad Kruse trimmed the Cardinal lead down to 10 points, 29-19, with 1:30 left in the first half. Trey Vanderlaan drilled 3-pointer and Ventling scored. Oskaloosa’s Jack Moore and Maher traded free throws in the final 43 seconds.

Newton led 35-20 at halftime.

“We did a good job of boxing out and playing solid team defense,” Maher said. “We did what the coach wanted us to and executed.”

Oskaloosa has five players between 6-foot-4 inches to 6-foot-10 inches. Cole Henry is 6-foot-8 inches and freshman Xavier Foster, who comes off the bench, is 6-foot10 inches.

The Cardinals outrebound-

ed the taller Indians, 24-19, led by Sturtz with seven defensive rebounds. Gholson had five rebounds and Vanderlaan had four rebounds. Newton allowed Oskaloosa two offensive rebounds in the game.

“A big factor tonight was the fact we played great defense and rebounded the ball.

When we do that and shoot at a high percentage (49 percent), it is hard for teams to beat us,” Liley said. “Our guys had great focus on the defensive end. We were able to hold a much bigger basketball team to one contested shot.”

Newton steadily pulled away from Oskaloosa in the second half. The Cardinals had 6-0 run in the middle of the third quarter to gain 4625 lead. Going into the fourth period, Newton was up 51-29 then rattled off the first five points of the final eight minutes.

“We’re just getting better each game. We’re working to continue and hope it will take us through the playoffs,” Maher said.

Sturtz had 19 points and three assists. Maher handed out five of the team’s 17 assists.

Ventling had four assists.

Newton was 23-of-47 from the field and sank 16-of-19 free throw attempts. Oskaloosa shot 31 percent, 14-of-45, from the floor and went 6-of12 from the line.

Henry and Kruse each had 11 points for the Indians.

The Newton junior varsity lost to Oskaloosa, 54-48. Kyle Long and Matt Moran each scored 12 points for Newton.

Newton girls pull away from Oskaloosa for LHC win

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Just 24 hours after losing a game they led most of the way, Newton High’s girls grabbed the lead on a two 3-point field goals in the final minute of the first quarter and never looked back.

They left the visiting Oskaloosa Indians in their wake for a 58-42 win. The win halted a six-game losing skid by the Cardinals.

“It feels so good to play at home and get the win this time.

It was great to ring the victory bell tonight,” Newton senior Ryanne Rausch said. “Tonight, we stuck together and held our composure better. We moved the ball around and stayed calm against the press.”

Rausch’s trey put her team up 10-8 with 1:20 left in Tuesday’s first quarter of a home Little Hawkeye Conference game. The Indians’ stalwart player Alexis Westercamp tied the game with 20 seconds on the clock.

Marcelina Marvelli came off the Newton bench and buried a trey with six seconds left to put the Cardinals up 13-10. Newton outscored Oskaloosa 10-4 in the second period to gain a 23-14 halftime advantage.

They had consecutive baskets

by Rausch and Ellie Horn to go up 17-10. Anna Forsyth, another player off the Cardinal bench, scored on back-to-back plays.

“We focused on a process tonight of get a stop, get a score, get a stop,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said. “We put those patterns together. We did lose sight of it for the first three or four minutes of the fourth quarter, then regrouped.”

Westercamp was held in check by the Cardinals when the game was on the line. She

finished with 25 points for the Indians, but only 10 in the first half.

Westercamp opened the third quarter with a bucket. That was countered by a 3-pointer by Newton’s Randi Walters, which triggered a 17-4 run by the Cardinals. Walters had eight of those points and Rausch had nine as the Cardinals scored in transition.

Marvelli hit another 3-pointer to end the third quarter. Newton had opened 20-point gap, 43-23.

“We did a decent job on Westercamp tonight. We challenged Randi to guard her, but it was a collective effort with Taylor Shipley and Ellie Horn taking turns,” Sharp said. “We got solid minutes from our bench players as they continue to improve in their roles for the team.”

The Indians made a run at the Cardinals just like Chariton had on Monday night.

Newton didn’t fold despite a 9-2 run by Oskaloosa to narrow the margin to 45-32 with 3:43 remaining in the game.

Horn stepped to the freethrow line and downed both ends of a one-and-one. Taylor Shipley would hit a couple of foul shots as would Courtney Jacobsen down the stretch.

Walters added basket, and it all countered six points by Westercamp.

“I’m really proud of every one of my teammates and how they brought the energy tonight,” Rausch said. “Winning tonight helps us build momentum for Pella on Friday night.”

Newton improved to 3-8 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The Cardinals (6-12) will face Class 4A No. 4 Pella (144) in a 6:15 p.m. conference game Friday in Pella.

“Now, it is Pella and we

move forward and go compete,” Sharp said. “We’re playing our best basketball right now and see improvement each game.”

Rausch tossed in 16 points, made four steals and handed out three assists for the Cardinals Tuesday. Walters, who had three 3-pointers on the night, scored 13 points, had four rebounds and three assists. Newton downed 8-of-16 free throw attempts.

Horn finished with 10 points, five rebounds and

blocked five shots. Shipley pulled down eight rebounds, handed out seven assists and made three seals. Ali Bestell had four rebounds as Newton held a 33-23 rebounding edge over the Indians.

Oskaloosa (2-15, 0-11) got 12 points from Marleigh Denburger to go along with Westercamp’s 25 points. The Indians were 3-of-13 from the free-throw line.

Newton’s junior varsity won 51-34 led by Taylor Ryan’s 14 points. Abbie Barr and

Petyon Maher each had 11 points.

No. 10 Hawks too much for PCM boys

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

ALLEMAN — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys basketball team lost a home game to North Polk on Thursday. Five days later, the Raiders turned the table Clapper on the Comets and won their third Heart of Iowa Conference game with a 4940 road victory.

Sophomore Will Clapper scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the win, while freshman Cole Damman scored 13 points and junior Travis Lindemoen chipped in nine points.

The Raiders had 10 steals in the game, led by senior Hunter McWhirter’s three. Lindemoen, sophomore Ian Thomson and Clapper all had two steals.

McWhirter grabbed four boards.

CMB (4-14 overall, 3-11 in the HOIC) made 18-of-42 from the floor. The Raiders connected on 4-of-15 from 3-point range.

Damman made three of his six shots from long range.

North Polk’s twogame win streak was snapped. The Comets (512, 4-9) had won three of their last four games.

Nathan Parker (19) and Caleb Lomica (17) scored 36 of the Comets’ 40 points.

MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe boys basketball coach Fred Lorensen expects to be in the mix for the Heart of Iowa Conference championship every season.

Even in the midst of a threegame losing streak, Lorensen still thought his Mustangs should have been able to compete with the HOIC’s top team Tuesday night.

Instead, Class 2A No. 10 South Hamilton used a big second quarter and cruised to a 79-61 road victory, spoiling PCM’s Senior Night.

Leading by six after one quarter, the Hawks outscored PCM 32-13 in the second quarter and the Mustangs never got closer than 18 after trailing 48-23 at halftime.

“We knew the games during this recent stretch were going to be tough,” Lorensen said.

“The bad part is we just haven’t been competitive. That’s hard to take.”

South Hamilton’s Collin Hill, a Truman State recruit, is one of Class 2A’s best players. But Hill got plenty of help Tuesday.

Hill finished with 18 points, sophomore Conner Hill scored 17, junior Marco Balderas chipped in 13 and junior Logan Klemp added 12 in the win.

“We came out focused on both ends tonight, and I think it showed us what we’re capable of when we all do our jobs,” South Hamilton coach Nathan Hill said.

The Hawks stayed on top of the HOIC with the win. South Hamilton is now 15-2 overall and 11-2 in the league. PCM dropped its fourth straight game and is now 9-8 overall and 8-5 in conference games.

South Hamilton never trailed in the game. Collin Hill scored six of the Hawks’

RAIDERS | 4B

MONROE — In the first 17 games, Lexi Timmins reached double-figures in scoring twice.

Her teammates and Prairie City-Monroe girls basketball coach Jeff Lindsay continued to tell the Mustang senior to keep chucking.

Timmins stayed the course and has seemed to find the target from outside. She put in a team-high 13 points off the bench and added seven rebounds and two assists during a 53-21 blowout victory over South Hamilton on Tuesday night.

It was the second straight game in which Timmins has scored 13 points, and she did it this time on Senior Night.

PCM honored eight seniors after the game.

“She has been shooting it with a lot of confidence lately, and that’s good,” Lindsay said.

“She started the year with a lot of doubt about things, and we just told her she needed to shoot through her slumps.

“We just tell her to keep firing away. We have confidence in her, and we knew sooner or later that the shots would start to fall.”

The game was really never in doubt Tuesday as the Mustangs stayed in second place in the Heart of Iowa Conference at 13-1. It was the seventh straight win for PCM, which improved to 16-3 overall.

South Hamilton (2-16 overall, 1-13 in the HOIC) hit the first shot of the game, but PCM took the lead for good after freshman Regan Freland hit a runner in the lane and then buried a 3-pointer.

PCM closed the quarter on a 12-5 run. Freland scored seven of her nine points in the

first quarter. She also dished out a career-high eight assists and totaled four steals.

The Mustangs’ defense was once again the story of the game. PCM held South Hamilton to single-digit point totals in each frame. The Hawks made just four shots from the floor in the loss.

“We did a good job of moving together on the defensive end,” Lindsay said. “We recognized the shooters who have been shooting it well lately. We kept them at bay tonight.”

After leading 24-10 at halftime, PCM pulled even further away from the Hawks with an 18-6 third quarter.

Senior Rachel Stafford scored all four of her points with a 3-point play and another free throw on back-to-back possessions early in the third quarter.

Senior Kayla Jennings came into the game averaging a team-best 12.9 points per game, but she did not score in the first half. Eight of her 10 points came in the lopsided third quarter and then Timmins buried back-to-back treys to give PCM a 38-14 lead.

“Its nice to have that punch coming off the bench,” Lindsay said of Timmins. “She’s found her touch, and it’s coming at a good time.”

The Mustangs led 42-16 after three quarters. Senior Kaylee Townsend scored six of PCM’s 11 points in the final quarter, and the Mustangs went on to win by 32.

PCM won the first meeting over South Hamilton by 40.

Jennings finished with 10 points and four assists, Towsend put in eight points and grabbed four rebounds and senior Katie Vande Wall scored nine points, grabbed

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Mark Bruxvoort scored a team-high 11 points against South Hamilton on Tuesday night on Senior Night. The Mustangs lost to Class 2A No. 10 South Hamilton 79-61.

first nine points, but PCM stayed close when junior Elijah Sperfslage’s layup made it 9-6.

Bruxvoort, the team’s lone senior, scored a bucket inside to make it 14-10 before Collin Hill’s jumper gave the Hawks a 16-10 lead after one quarter.

Back-to-back buckets by junior Jackson Thomas kept the deficit at four early in the second quarter.

After that, the Hawks went on a 19-2 run to effectively put the game away.

“We can play better than we have been,” Lorensen said.

“We have run into some hot

teams that are playing well and shooting it well, and that hasn’t helped, but some of that has to fall on us and what we are doing defensively and how we are guarding.

“We have had a quarter or a stretch in the game where we don’t score lately. You can’t do that against good teams. It’s frustrating. We can’t afford to have lapses like that.”

The 32-point second quarter included three treys by Conner Hill. Balderas also scored seven of his 13 points in the second quarter.

The Mustangs, who turned

it over 23 times, managed to close the gap in the fourth, but Lorensen went to his bench with 6 minutes to play.

Trailing by 29, PCM’s reserves closed the gap to 18 before the final horn. Sophomore Nick Dredge scored seven points, while sophomore Brayton Van Dyke scored six and freshman Derek Brown added five. All of those points came in the final quarter.

Bruxvoort led the team with 11 points on his Senior Night.

Sophomore Reed Worth added nine points, while Thomas put in eight points and grabbed four boards.

Sophomore Andrew Van Ryswyk scored seven points and grabbed seven points before fouling out in the third quarter. Junior Noah Lanphier pulled down five rebounds.

“We need to get through this. I told the team after the game not to get down. It’s always easy to work hard when things are going well, but can we do that when things aren’t doing well,” Lorensen said.

“We’ll find that out in the next couple of days at practice and hopefully we can go to Nevada on Friday and get things turned around.”

The Mustangs play at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Nevada. The Cubs (12-6, 9-4) defeated PCM by 17 in the first meeting back on Dec. 20.

Tenth-ranked Hawk girls claim SICL crown with win over Tigerhawks

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Randy Taylor/Taylor Photography Lynnville-Sully’s Camryn Russell (22) goes for a layup past the defense of Colfax-Mingo’s Dakota Hostetter, right, during Tuesday’s South Iowa Cedar League game at Sully. The Class 1A 10th-ranked Hawks beat the visiting Tigerhawks, 58-38, at Sully.

SULLY — Scoring 20 points off of Colfax-Mingo’s 35 turnovers, Class 1A 10th-ranked Lynnville-Sully High’s girls cruised to a 58-38 win Tuesday at home, clinching the 2017 South Iowa Cedar League conference championship.

The Hawks and the visiting Tigerhawks played their final SICL conference game Tuesday. The SICL teams will play a non-conference cross-over slate between the West and East division on Friday. The West teams host the games.

Lynnville-Sully finished at 19-1 overall and 16-1 in conference play. It will host Sigourney (17-4) from the East in a conference No. 1-No. 2 match-up at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Sully. The teams’ junior varsities play at 6 p.m.

Colfax-Mingo, which is also in the West division, finished at 4-12 in SICL play. The Tigerhawks (4-15) host Iowa Valley (10-10) at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Colfax with the junior varsities playing at 6 p.m.

In Tuesday’s game, the

Hawks pushed out to a 14-7 lead by the end of the first quarter. They outscored the Tigerhawks 18-9 in the second period for a 32-16 halftime advantage.

Lynnville-Sully had a 15-10 run in the third quarter. Colfax-Mingo had a 12-11 scoring edge in the final period.

“Our offense was good when we had good ball movement, but too much of the time we moved it slow,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Jerry Hulsing said. “Defensively, we were OK tonight. We need to communicate more, so we can rotate to the ball and not give up easy shots. We also need to play more physical, and rebound the ball aggressively.”

Lynnville-Sully shot 52 percent, 24-of-46, from the field and went 8-of-18 from the free-throw line. Colfax-Mingo contacted on 16-of-37 field goal attempts of 43 percent.

Sixth-ranked Hawks deck Tigerhawk boys in SICL play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Defensive energy provided fuel for a runaway victory in South Iowa Cedar League conference play for the Class 1A sixth-ranked Lynnville-Sully Hawks.

The Hawks held the visiting Colfax-Mingo Tigerhawks to 31-percent shooting in a 7826 victory.

The Hawks had control early, leading 26-5 at the end of the first quarter. Lynnville-Sully took a 50-12 lead into the break. The Hawks outscored the Tigerhawks 2814 in the second half.

Lynnville-Sully pushed its SICL record to 13-1 and went to 17-1 overall. Colfax-Mingo dropped to 8-8 in the conference and 8-10 overall.

“The guys came out and played with great defensive energy. That energy spilled over to all aspects of the game,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Nick Harthoorn said.

“We really shared the ball offensively and it showed with 24 assists.”

Colfax-Mingo played without its leading scorer and rebounder Jarod Nichols, who was out ill. Tigerhawk head coach Nick Noring said the entire team and Colfax-Mingo school was battling sickness.

“We’re looking forward to a six-day break to recover before our next game,” Noring said. “I also have one key player suspended, but can’t comment further on this situation at this current moment.”

Lynnville-Sully knocked down 11 3-pointe field goals as the Hawks shot 58 percent, 33-of-57, from the field overall. Each team went 1-of-2 at the free-throw line. The Tigerhawks were 10-of-32 from the field, hitting five 3-pointers.

Colfax-Mingo is idle until Monday. The Tigerhawks host Eddyvlle-Blakesburg-Fremont at 7:30 p.m. in Colfax for a non-conference game.

US wrestlers planning to travel to Iran despite travel ban

By Luke Meredith The Associated Press USA Wrestling said Monday that the U.S. still plans to compete next month in Iran, one of seven Muslim-majority countries whose citizens were temporarily banned from the U.S. by an executive order from President Donald Trump.

USA Wrestling’s Rich Bender told The Associated Press that the Americans have “every intention” of traveling to Kermanshah for the men’s freestyle World Cup on Feb. 16-17. Bender said the U.S. federation been given assurances from the Iranians that special attention is being given to their applications.

The scheduled trip to Iran will be the first major test for U.S. athletes travelling to one of the

seven nations affected by Trump’s 90-day ban, issued last week.

“We’re going to respect the laws and orders of those in leadership positions in government and figure out how to embrace those and work with them to secure proper documentation for athletes to come here and us to go there,” Bender said.

Iran’s senior vice president Ishaq Jahangiri, through the official IRNA news agency, said that Trump’s executive order was “illegal, inhumane and against human rights.”

The U.S. and Iran — two of the world’s top wrestling countries — have long found common ground on the mat. The U.S. wrestling team was the first American sports team to compete in Iran in nearly 20 years back in 1998, and the Iranian team

has competed in the U.S. more than a dozen times since the 1990s.

American wrestlers are typically treated well by the Iranians and their fans, too. Former Olympic champion Jordan Burroughs said this summer that he was mobbed by selfie-seeking supporters at the airport during his last trip to Tehran — and in June the Iranian Federation sent a gift to Burroughs to commemorate the birth of his daughter.

“Wrestling has shown a long, rich history of transcending politics and participating despite governmental disagreements,” Bender said. “That’s the beauty of sport and the Olympic movement. It’s about competition, not politics.”

USA Wrestling plans to send 13 wrestlers, two coaches, a referee, a medi-

cal staff member, a videographer and other official delegates to Kermanshah, which is in western Iran some 310 miles southwest of Tehran.

The annual World Cups in each discipline are among the most prestigious tournaments in the world. Iran will also host the Greco-Roman World Cup in Tehran in March.

The U.S. team has yet to be fully approved to make the trip to Iran. But Bender said that last-minute approvals to travel there are commonplace because of how long the process can take.

“Reasonable people would say ‘Well, why would you go through that hassle and take that risk of not going?” Well, the reward is the competition. It’s really important for our athletes,” Bender said.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Grant Garvis and Cody Satterfield had 10 points apiece. Garvis had four rebounds and two assists. McKenna Davis had four rebounds and two steals while Aaron Bartels pulled down five rebounds.

In the freshman game, Oskaloosa beat Newton, 54-22. Blake Sevenbergen had five points followed by William Cheng, Josh Dunsbergen and Kaleb Dydell with four points apiece.

Oskaloosa 6-14-9-7—36 Newton 13-22-16-16—67 Oskaloosa (FG/3-pt): Yates 0/2-0-0-6, Nunnikhoven 0-0-5-0, Moore 1-4-5-6, Dekock 0-0-2-0, Foster 1-0-3-2, Henry 5-1-2-11, Kruse 5-1-2-11.

Iowa State wrestling coach Kevin Jackson stepping down

NASCAR Photo Daniel Suarez, driver of the No. 19 ARRIS Toyota, celebrates with a burnout after winning the NASCAR Xfinity Series Ford EcoBoost 300 and the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 19, 2016, in Homestead, Fla.

Suarez gets first run in Cup car

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Daniel Suarez has driven a NASCAR Xfinity Series car to a championship and a rookie of the year award.

His first turn in a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series car was a lesson in power.

“It was quite a bit different,” Suarez said. “There is more power in the Cup car, it is fast in the straightaway and slow in the middle of the corner. All of these people are truly professionals and they do everything right. I feel like it was a positive day and we learned some good things.”

Suárez drove at Phoenix International Raceway for his first test run in a Cup Series car on Tuesday, joining a group that included Dale Earnhardt Jr, Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick, who has won six of the previous nine races at Phoenix.

Earnhardt was back after missing the second half of the 2016 season due to concussion-like symptoms.

Suárez held his own with the big names as he began his stint as the replacement for Carl Edwards in the No. 19 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing. Following the two-day test at PIR, his Cup career will begin with 75-lap race for the Clash of Daytona on Feb. 18, followed by the Daytona 500 on Feb. 26.

Suárez started his racing career in 2002 in Mexico, earning a karting championship within five years and

participating in two NASCAR races in Mexico at the age of 17. He won the 2010 NASCAR Mexico Series Rookie of the Year, and the next year was the youngest driver to win a pole in the NASCAR Mexico Series Pilot.

Suárez joined Joe Gibbs Racing in the Xfinity Series in 2011 and ended up winning Rookie of the Year. After capturing an Xfinity championship, Gibbs promoted him to the Cup Series in 2017 following Edwards’ unexpected departure.

“I for sure wasn’t expecting that call,” he said. “I was with my family and friends just enjoying the championship that took a lot of work. Obviously, my offseason was a little short because as soon as I received the call, I started to think about the Cup Series.”

Suárez became NASCAR’s first foreign-born National Premiere Touring Series champion when he walked away with the 2016 Xfinity Series Cup. Between the NASCAR Truck Series and Xfinity Series, Suárez has nine wins.

The 25-year old native of Monterey, Mexico, had three career Xfinity wins (Michigan, Dover and Homestead).

He also had previous experience at PIR, winning a Trucks race in November.

The up and coming Cup Series season will mark the first time Suarez and crew chief Dave Rogers will be working together. It’s also is the first time Rogers will be working with a rookie.

AMES (AP) — Iowa State wrestling coach Kevin Jackson said Tuesday he will step down after the season.

Jackson, the former national freestyle coach for USA Wrestling, has been with the Cyclones since taking over for Cael Sanderson in 2008.

His first Iowa State team finished third at the NCAA championships and featured two national champions, including future Olympic gold medalist Jake Varner. But the program has declined under Jackson, bottoming out this season with a 1-9 record in dual meets.

Jackson is 68-54 in eight years at Iowa State. But his last match, a 34-3 loss to top-ranked Oklahoma State at home over the weekend, likely sealed his fate.

Iowa State says Jackson will take on an administrative role in the athletic department after the season.

“Iowa State has a great wrestling tradition and everyone involved with the program has very high expectations,” Jackson said. “We have not consistently met those expectations recently, which has been disappointing to me, my staff, our current and former wrestlers ... and making this announcement now relieves some pressures and uncertainties for our current student-athletes as well as

Kevin Jackson

for incoming recruits.”

Jackson was a wrestler on the last team that won a championship for Iowa State back in 1987. He later won a pair of world titles and gold at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, and his return was seen as a coup after Sanderson made the surprise jump to Penn State.

But Sanderson’s success at Penn State only helped made things tougher for the Cyclones, who’ve slipped into mediocrity in a sport where a handful of programs like the Nittany Lions, Cowboys and the rival Hawkeyes typically dominate the podium at the national meet.

Recruiting will likely be a top priority for Jackson’s replacement.

Jackson “is a man of great integrity, a terrific ambassador for the Cyclones and a talented coach, but we agreed that our program isn’t performing at the level we expect,” athletic director Jamie Pollard said.

Bohannon scores 17, Jok-less Hawkeyes crush Rutgers ​PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Iowa is doing just fine with Big Ten Conference leading-scorer Peter Jok sidelined with a back problem.

The Hawkeyes not only won their second in a row with Jok out, they also picked up their first road win of the season with an 83-63 decision over Rutgers on Tuesday night.

Jordan Bohannon scored 17 points and Iowa (13-10, 5-5) took command early in posting its biggest win in a conference games this season.

“The main thing is we are just staying confident in each other, moving without the ball and finding shooters,” said Bohannon, who was 5-of-7 from 3-point range on a night the Hawkeyes shot a season-high 61 percent (11-of-18) from long range.

Iowa beat Ohio State in its first game without Jok and it used the

Bohannon

same formula to run away from Rutgers.

It got going early and never stopped, leading by as many as 28 points.

Iowa, which had lost its first five games away from Carver-Hawkeye Arena, opened a double-digit lead in the opening

five minutes.

Cordell Pemsl added 15 points for the Hawkeyes, who shot 50 percent from the field. Iowa missed five of its first seven shots and then made nine of its next 10 in opening a 29-8 lead.

Deshawn Freeman scored 17 points with 13 rebounds, and Mike Williams added 16 for Rutgers (1211, 1-9), which has lost three in a row and 10-of-11.

No. 7 West Virginia overwhelms Iowa State on the road AMES (AP) — West Virginia and Iowa State entered Tuesday night’s game tied for third place in the Big 12.

But the Mountaineers are trending upward — and the Cyclones looked like they might be in trouble.

Nathan Adrian scored a career-high 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as No. 7 West Virginia overwhelmed Iowa State 85-72 for its third straight win.

Tarik Phillip had 15 points for

PCM Continued from Page 2B seven rebounds, had four steals and dished out three assists.

On Senior Night, 42 of the 53 points and 26 of the 31 rebounds were collected by PCM’s eight seniors.

“This group has done a good job of leading the program during my first few seasons, and they have set a solid foundation for the future for the younger girls in this community,” Lindsay said.

“They are kids and great role models for future teams.”

Senior Jayci Vos has missed the entire season due to a quadricep injury. Vos was cleared to play late last week, and Vos got on the floor for the first time this season

the Mountaineers (18-4, 6-3 Big 12), who hit 10 3-pointers and forced 16 turnovers in winning their third road game in league play.

“That’s what we try to do. We try to do that with everybody. That’s why we play so many guys, trying to wear them down as much as we possibly can,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins.

It worked on the typically sure-handed Cyclones, who shot just 29 percent in the second half.

A late 9-0 run capped by a layup

by Jevon Carter put the Mountaineers up 70-55 with 5:36 left.

Matt Thomas scored 19 points for Iowa State (13-8, 5-4).

“We had layups and open 3-pointerss and shots that these guys (usually) make, and finally West Virginia broke through and made a couple and kind of put us in a tough position and sped us up a little bit,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. “But credit them.

They were a better team.”

Raiders

late in the fourth quarter Tuesday.

Lindsay is unsure how much Vos would play moving forward, but he was happy to get her on the court on Senior Night with her teammates.

“She was excited to get out there,” Lindsay said. “She was antsy on the bench.”

The Comets won their seventh straight game with a solid defensive performance. CMB, which travels to South Hamilton for a varsity doubleheader Friday, was held to single digits in each quarter.

North Polk (14-5, 11-3) led 11-2 after one quarter and held a 15-8 lead at halftime.

Astrograph

Venus has gotten mighty comfortable in the sea of Pisces, where love and intuition snuggle up together, souls knit themselves to one another, communication flows on verbal and nonverbal levels and felicity is the norm. Take advantage of the ease around relationships. Share your heart.

Later this week the page will turn.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1). There’s much about your current life that you can relax into, and yet specific needs and wants will have you leveraging your current situation into a new adventure. The next 10 weeks bring an odyssey of characters, challenges and

environments. Win a prize in April. May features hearts and flowers. Cancer and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 38, 22 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Trying to do everything possible will only deplete you.

Hit the top priority. Make a trade-off, then make another.

If you only get one thing done, but it’s your primary source of satisfaction, you’ve won.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re not the same as you were yesterday. What’s different about you? This doesn’t have an easy answer, and that’s what’s so compelling about it.

The mystery of you is everunfolding.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Teenage life is typically wrought with drama, as the skills of emotional coping are in early development. Most outgrow the allure of perpetual drama, opting to apply energy to more necessary adult pursuits. Most. Not all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Time proves that even the greatest innovations, inventions and solutions are but temporary answers. There’s not one right explanation or one correct method that will hold forever. The best answers beg more questions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Would you believe there are people who are daunted by pressures

of “having fun,” unsure exactly how (or even why) such a thing should be accomplished?

These people need you! Go help!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As sure as rain makes you wet and food makes you full, perfection makes you miserable.

Don’t strive for superior results today. Don’t strive, period. Put your head down, work humbly, and happiness will creep up on you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Since you’re confident in your ability and secure in your knowledge, you’re not overly concerned about appearing smart or correct or cool. Your nonchalance only makes you smarter, more correct and way cooler.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Some people ask questions to make a point -- a move that says, “I’m so right I can even manipulate (SET ITAL) you (END ITAL) to say I’m right.”

Be wary of these people, and don’t use the tactic yourself.

Ask questions out of curiosity, not arrogance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Conflict is more interesting than peace, but most people who are living purposefully find that it’s not worth the energy it takes to witness or take part in it. You’re right to be protective of your precious energy reserves.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A little mystery doesn’t scare you off. You’re not like the ones who need all to be certain. You realize that it

will never be. The constant is change. The essence of life is surprise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Options may be added and taken away. But the ability to make a choice will always be yours. When you start feeling closed in by the circumstances, just remember that you can choose. You’re in control.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Questions and answers do not a conversation make. Connections are forged with twists, surprises, a sense of play and true and honest sharing. You can achieve it by listening better.
