Snow storm ends, local areas hit with 12 inches Sun, partly cloudy skies forecast Monday

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News Travel conditions will still be tricky in Jasper County and throughout Iowa Monday, as many Iowans dig out from the weekend’s winter storm which dumped more than 12 inches of snow

locally.

According to the National Weather Service in Des Moines, snowfall totals hit 10 to 12 inches

by Sunday night in central Iowa. Baxter saw 13 inches of snow, the service reported. Power had been restored to most Alliant Energy custom-

ers in Newton by Monday morning after heavy, wet snow caused down limbs to effect power lines.

Alliant Energy spokesperson Justin Foss said 36 Newton customers were without power as of 12:30 p.m. Sunday.

He said outage reports began coming in at 3:30 a.m. Sunday, and crews were slow to restore SNOW | 7A

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News A winter storm dropped 12 inches of snow in parts of Jasper County Saturday evening through Sunday. The Iowa Department of Transportation reports streets are still snow covered, or partially, throughout much of Iowa.

Fire union president calling for staff increase

Richmond emailed city council regarding two additional full-timers

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A local union president has explained to the Newton City Council and the mayor exactly the staffing increase needs of the Newton Fire Department.

In a Jan. 20 two-page letter to the council and mayor, Iowa Association of Professional Firefighters Local 1457 President Tom Richmond called for two additional fulltime firefighters to be hired. He said

the need is great and longstanding, and would allow the city to have three complete seven-man crews.

While the department’s budget request included three new vehicles and cleared its initial approval by the council in last week’s budget meeting, it still must be approved in the council’s final budget in the weeks ahead.

However, when Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik presented his department’s requests, there were no personnel requests made. Rich-

Fuel Saver program brings big savings to Newton customers

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News As gas prices plummeted below $2 a gallon, social media sites became saturated with images of the low prices people were paying to fill up. Oftentimes the price per gallon became much lower thanks to the Hy-Vee Fuel Saver program.

Since December 2013, the Newton Hy-Vee store has issued more than $735,000 in fuel savings with the program.

In that time, just under 2.5 million people have used the Fuel Saver program, saving on average just under 30 cents per customer, said store manager Todd Fox. He said grateful customers have posted on the Newton store’s Facebook page after paying only 9 cents per gallon and he has heard that people have paid the lowest possible, 1 cent per gallon.

“We will get an email that SAVER | 3A

mond said Wellik took the request of two additional firefighters to Newton City Administrator Bob Knabel, but the staffing requests were not included in the final budget request to the council.

Richmond said his request is much more centered on personnel.

“My email had nothing to do with vehicles,” Richmond said.

“We’re very grateful to see the trucks clear the first hurdle (of the budget process). But we also need to gain some more flexibility as we attempt to maintain a high level of community safety.”

The Newton Wellness Coalition hosted its kickoff event at the Newton High School Friday night.

During the boys’ and girls’ basketball games, volunteers ran on treadmills and ellipticals to help raise awareness for wellness activities.

Robyn Friedman, NWC member, said she was pleased with the general feedback following the event.

“It went great,” Friedman said. “We had great participation from all of our exercisers and we had great publicity from the

high school announcer during the games, so we could get our name out there a little bit more.”

This is the second time the group has hosted the event. Last year, 30 “local celebrities” participated and Friedman said the turnout was similar on Friday. Many members of the Newton Community School District were among the “local celebrities” who took part in the event.

“I thought there was some good enthusiasm again,” Friedman said.

“It’s always fun to see people exercising in a different way.”

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News After six years in business, Anytime Fitness did a complete remodel of the facility and had its Grand Re-Opening Tuesday. The workout center brought in brighter colors and new amenities for customers to use.

Grand Re-Opening for remodeled Anytime Fitness

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Anytime Fitness held its Grand Re-Opening Tuesday to show off the remodeled facility and some new equipment. It was the first update the fitness center, 1718 First Ave. E., has done since opening six years ago.

“We wanted to get things fresh again, we can just tell when some of the stuff started to get bad. It was just time to redo it,” said Jeremy Vesely, manager.

“We remodeled new carpet, new floors, new paint, a few new pieces of equipment, everything.”

The color scheme went from blue shades to brighter purples and greens to help brighten up the facility. New features for customers include rubber mats, a new elliptical, new, wider tele-

visions with a better picture and tinted front windows, a new feature that has been popular.

The center was never completely closed during the remodel. Different parts were always open for customers to use to continue their workout routines during the update. In total, the remodel took about a month to a month and a half to complete and so far the response has been pretty positive.

“The remodel at our Anytime Fitness is great. It’s more inviting when you walk in the door and the motivation wall is great too. It’s awesome to see everyone’s goals and encouragement to one another,” said Jenn Cross, a current customer. “It’s nice to have TVs on all of the machines.

We got some new equipment and a couple new machines too.

Iowa unemployment rate drops to 4.1 percent DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 percent in December from 4.3 percent in November. The state’s jobless rate was 4.2 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.6 percent in December.

“The State’s economy ended on a high note in December,” said Beth Townsend, interim director of Iowa Workforce Development. “Recent stagnation within global markets has shown little impact on the U.S. and Iowa economies. The Iowa unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 percent, while nonfarm employment gained 2,100 jobs.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 71,100 in December from 73,600 in November.

The total number of working Iowans reached a current-year peak of 1,642,900 in December. This figure is 3,100 higher than November and 38,100 higher than one year ago.

Iowa’s nonfarm employment added jobs for the second straight month (+2,100) and now rests at 1,560,600 jobs. Private services added 900 jobs, but were offset by a shedding of 900 jobs in government.

Manufacturing rebounded this month and added 1,600 jobs. Durable goods factories added 1,000 jobs, while nondurable goods added 600 jobs. Professional and business services also fared well in December, adding 1,500 jobs. Losses this month were led by trade and transportation (-1,000) and fueled by unexpected declines in Iowa’s retail sector.

Health care alone is up 3,700 jobs, while education gained 1,900 jobs. Construction was booming throughout the year and now rests up 4,700 (+6.9 percent). Professional and business services continues to increase and is now up 4,100 jobs. This gain could be evidence of shifting employment patterns with firms now relying on contract and temporary employment rather than permanent staff.

US stock markets lower on mixed economic data Major U.S. stock indexes moved lower in afternoon trading Friday, on track for their third down day this week. New government data showing a slowdown in U.S. economic growth helped pull stocks mostly lower. Investors also were monitoring the latest crop of corporate earnings.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 106 points, or 0.6 percent, to 17,310 as of 1:02 p.m. Eastern. The Standard & Poor’s 500 shed 11 points, or 0.6 percent, to 2,009. The Nasdaq composite slid four points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,678.

GROWTH SLOWS: The Commerce Department reported that the U.S. economy grew 2.6 percent in the October-December quarter. That’s down from a gain of 4.6 percent in the second quarter and 5 percent in the third quarter. Growth in consumer spending was offset by weaker business investment, trade and government spending.

“The GDP number is a little weaker, so it may give the Fed some pause as far as raising rates,” said Jeff Kravetz, regional investment strategist at US Bank Wealth Management.

When interest rates remain low, they tend to make stocks more attractive than bonds.

Pay — The Labor Department reported that wages and benefits rose 2.2 percent last year, the fastest pace in six years. The increase is a sign strong job growth could be forcing companies to boost pay for workers. The Fed is watching wages as it considers whether to raise interest rates from near zero.

Sector — Nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 fell, with industrial stocks declining the most.

Homebuilders —Most U.S. homebuilders were down sharply, led by Beazer Homes USA, which reported a wider quarterly loss and revenue that fell short of financial analysts’ expectations. The stock slid $1.65, or 9.6 percent, to $15.60.

Oil — Chevron shed 2.4 percent after the oil company reported a 30 percent decline in fourth-

quarter profit. The stock was the biggest decliner in the Dow. It fell $2.48 to $100.55.

Uggs — Shares in Ugg footwear maker Deckers Outdoor slumped 19.1 percent after the company reported worse-than-expected fiscal third-quarter earnings and cut its outlook. The stock lost $15.72 to $66.55.

Steep Dive — The parent of Hawaiian Airlines reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter profit, but also set a weak first-quarter outlook. That sent shares in Hawaiian Holdings down $7.36, or 27.6 percent, to $19.25.

Amazon — Shares of Amazon.com jumped 13.7 percent a day after the e-commerce giant beat quarterly profit expectations by a mile. The stock gained $42.80 to $354.50.

Credit — MasterCard’s fourth-quarter earnings surpassed Wall Street’s expectations. The stock added 87 cents to $82.24. Shares in rival Visa, which reported higher earnings and announced a 4-for-1 stock split on Thursday, surged $11.63, or 4.7 percent, to $259.67.

European Action — Markets in Europe were lower following a report showing eurozone consumer prices fell 0.6 percent in the year to January. The report comes as the European Central Bank is about to launch an aggressive stimulus program to push inflation higher. In Europe, France’s CAC 40 was down 0.6 percent and Germany’s DAX fell 0.4 percent.

Britain’s FTSE 100 slipped 0.2 percent.

Energy — Benchmark U.S. crude rose $1.04, or 2.4 percent, to $45.58 a barrel in New York. The contract rose 8 cents to close at $44.53 on Thursday.

Currencies — The dollar fell to 117.41 yen from 118.20 the previous day. The euro fell to $1.1291 from $1.1327. The Russian ruble was down to 70.11 rubles per dollar from 68.76 after the country’s central bank unexpectedly cut interest rates to 15 percent from 17 percent to help the weakening economy.

Local News Union Continued from Page 1A The department has 22 fulltime firefighters, and, for the past nine months, has had some parttime firefighters. Richmond said he has been told the part-time needs to be given more time to see if it will help, but so far, the part-timers have not stuck with the department.

“We are competing with towns like Ankeny, Waukee, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Altoona and Clive,” Richmond said. “Those towns are growing toward ‘career’ (full-time paid) staffing. Our part-timers have done some good work, but we had 11, and now we’re down to seven part-timers.”

Richmond said the money used to pay overtime to regular staff, which occurs when the 21 full-time firefighters are paged to respond while off-duty, could be used to fund two more built-in full-time positions. Also, parttime staff is required to complete

and update training and certifications, just like full-time staff.

However, Knabel said the overtime expenses for the department were $84,000 for the fiscal year July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, and $75,000 for the 201314 fiscal year, whereas two firefighters and their benefits would probably cost the city about $200,000.

“My response is that we can make a better effort to improve and tweak the part-time, on-call program first, which the council just approved last year,” Knabel said. “Those workers have only been on board since the fiscal year started on July 1, and we’ve had 80 percent coverage of shifts since then.”

Knabel said there are limits to different puzzles he can come up with for the annual fire department budget, unless the council were to prioritize general funds in a way that would give about $200,000 more to NFD — which would have to come at the expense of another city department.

That’s not technically out of the question, Knabel said. Even though there was no personnel request put in as part of this year’s formal fire request, it’s possible the council could decide to fund the department differently.

Richmond said he’s spoken with each city council member about the issues. He said lack of information might have been an issue at one point, and he’s trying to resolve that aspect.

Issues with NFD staffing are hardly new. Richmond said he’s been fighting to get more fulltime positions since the council made an official reduction in 2008, and he has advocated for the department on a union level since the 1990s.

City Council member Steve Mullan said the councilors will go over the budget many more times over the next few weeks.

However, no depth of understanding is going to put more money in the city’s coffers.

“We have excellent firefighters and top-notch police, who work under trying circumstanc-

Saver Continued from Page 1A says ‘I bought $100 worth of meat and only spent 79 cents per gallon on gas this week.’ Those are really cool emails to get,” Fox said.

Since the start of the program in December of 2012, Fox said the corporate office has given more control to the stores on what fuel saver items to advertise. In Newton, frozen food products, items in the meat department and the HealthMarket section have been the most popular when fuel saver is added to them, Fox said.

Customers can find the local saving in the weekly Hy-Vee ad pub-

equal 6 cents in savings.

Stores also do promotions where customers can spend, for example, $100 total and receive $1 off in fuel savings.

“It does make a dif-

es,” Mullan said. “I wouldn’t want their jobs. Tom and I have talked at length. We see that we can’t hold the part-timers very well, and one guy was coming all the way from Mount Pleasant (about 120 miles) for a job that maxes at 20 hours and pays somewhere around $18 per hour.

So we will take a long look at staffing.”

The IAFF Local 1457 filed a “vote of no confidence” complaint against Wellik about one year ago, but Richmond and Knabel both said communication and chief-firefighter relations improved greatly in 2014.

Knabel said it’s not within the everyday chain of command for a union president to contact the city council and the mayor directly about a specific staffing budget issue in the manner Richmond has done. He said he hopes the department can embrace part-time firefighters — both personally and in concept — and give Newton a chance to broadcast that is among the cities hiring firefighters part-time.

ference if you know that you’ve got $30 to spend on food and gas this week. $20 of it goes to gas, but if you know you can buy $30 worth of food and then only pay $5 for gas, that makes a huge difference,” Fox said.

Rod Musgrove, HyVee Gas manager, has seen an increase of people using the program at the gas station. He said people seem to be catching on to what all the program can do for them.

“We had a lot of people two weeks ago

“The culture of the department has not engaged or endorsed the process of bringing in part-time people,” Knabel said.

“If the culture will allow it, and if the program functions as it should, I believe the staffing issue can be minimized. But changing the culture is not like changing the oil in your car.”

Knabel said he’s interested in a genuine solution, but his current options are limited.

“It’s a big item for the council, for the firefighters and for me,” he said.

Lefler said when he is on-call after a rough day or days on duty, he can hear his pager going off, but might have family commitments, or be too exhausted to respond.

“It hurts when you hear it,” he said. “You have to be there for your family, but you know your firefighter brothers are out there hurting.”

filling up their tanks for less than 20 cents a gallon with the fuel saver,” Musgrove said. “The store ran a promotion that customers got 25, 50 cents off for spending a certain amount. I imagine we had 50 customers that came in like that.”

He said that one of the big reasons for the upswing is from word of mouth and customers talking to other custom-

ers about the savings.

A lot of happy faces have been going into the gas station lately, paying less for gas and saving even more with fuel saver discounts.

“It’s a good feeling in here to see people smile like that when times are hard,” Musgrove said.

Start the Press

I heart New York television

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Feb. 2, 2015

When the largest blizzard in history was predicted last week for New York City I started thinking about Rupert at the Hello Deli.

Visiting the deli and having my photo taken with Rupert were among some of the highlights of a pair of trips to NYC when I was in college.

Truth be told, I was a member of a broadcast journalism club. I battled through one broadcasting class in college, realized my interest was nil, but joined the club anyway. The club made it possible to travel with other communication majors on these notorious trips to New York. The sole purpose of the club, it seems, was to travel.

What we did on these trips was a lot of sight-seeing and a lot of visiting television shows. After many years, I still remember these shows fondly. We went to “The View,” “Live! With Regis and Kelly,” “The Maury Povich Show,” “The Tyra Banks Show,” “The Daily Show with Jon Stew-

art” and “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

“The View” is as obnoxious in person as it is live. I am not a big fan of chattering women who try to speak over each other for a full hour. However, it was cool to see Barbara Walters in person, and Tony Curtis was a guest on the show, which made it worthwhile.

I’ve never watched the show since.

Regis and Kelly — what you see is what you get. All I really remember is that it was winter in New York and Kelly wore a sleeveless dress and super high heels. Regis is his own brand of funny. It was enjoyable.

I felt a bit torn about attending “The Maury Povich Show.”

Povich is married to Connie Chung and I was a journalism student learning the very critical lesson that is Chung’s legacy.

She was canned as the co-anchor for “CBS Evening News” after she promised her off-the-record question with Newt Gingrich’s mother wouldn’t be made public.

Apparently Chung forgot this vital piece of Reporting 101. When she went live with the infamous material — Newt thinks Hillary Clinton is a [bad word] — she was sacked.

Maury provided an even clearer picture of what not to do.

I think we were trapped in the studio for three programs, all of which included a paternity test segment. Not exactly my cup of tea.

Tyra Banks was providing makeovers during the show we attended — it was about as exciting as it sounds.

What I remember about Jon Stewart is that he came out and told some jokes and tried to rally the crowd before the show. As college students, we were definitely his prime target audience.

The show was hilarious and was definitely remembered as one of the most popular stops.

Which brings me to David Letterman. I’ve been feeling so guilty about not watching his

show since he’s retiring this year.

I’ve always loved that guy — but Jimmy Fallon is our preferred host these days. Visiting the Hello Deli to see Rupert, who was made a local celebrity by Letterman, was an absolute must. I had that picture of us framed in my apartment for years afterward.

We made it to the “Late Show” by the skin of our teeth.

My friend and I were literally the last ones allowed in. We sat high in the balcony and enjoyed Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra and guest Michael Keaton.

I’ve always felt fortunate to have those experiences, and another which took me to Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show” in Los Angeles.

The behind the scenes insight of television programming didn’t excite me for a career in broadcast, but it did make for many wonderful memories.

needs of veterans and ensure they get the services they are entitled to from the Veterans’ Administration. The Veterans Court model involves regular court appearances, mandatory treatment sessions and random drug testing.

Modeled on drug courts and mental health courts, Veterans Courts aim to keep more veterans out of prison. Veterans who have been charged with crimes can be placed on probation and diverted to the Veterans Court where they are closely supervised and required to adhere to strict conditions of probation.

Iowa is fortunate to have joined the states that have established these specialized courts. We now have our first Veterans Court in Woodbury County. Judge Jeffrey Poulson is heading it up. He says these courts are successful because they focus on the uniqueness of military experiences and have the expertise of Veterans

Court staff to address them.

Woodbury County officials collected data regarding the number of veterans being booked into the county jail. Over a twomonth period, the jail averaged one veteran per day. That is a significant number, which tells us we need to take a different approach to helping some of our veterans readjust to civilian life.

The supports and structure provided by the Veterans Court make it less likely veterans will become repeat offenders. The goal is to ensure they meet their obligations to themselves, the court and their community. Those who’ve served and sacrificed deserve all the help we can provide.

For most of history, people suffered in miserable poverty.

Then, in a few hundred years, s o m e n e w i d e a s m a d e l i f e hugely b e t t e r By John Stossel for billions of us — things like running water, the printing press, the steam engine, electricity and the Internet.

We want people to keep coming up with new and better ideas.

But there’s a problem: Why would you bother to spend years inventing something if other people can just steal your idea? Who will devote years and millions of dollars to making a big movie? Or a dozen years and billions of dollars to bringing a new drug to market? Almost no one.

Filmmaker Kirby Ferguson sums up problem: “Let’s say a guy invents a better light bulb. His price needs to cover not just the manufacturing costs but also the costs of inventing the thing in the first place. Let’s say a competitor starts manufacturing a copy.

The competitor doesn’t need to cover those development costs, so his version can be cheaper.”

Then he profits, but the original inventor goes out of business.

That’s why America grants time-limited patents and copyrights to creators of songs, books, movies, paintings, drugs, etc.

Fine.

But today Fox won’t let me sing the song “Happy Birthday” on my TV show. That’s because Warner Music bought the rights to it in 1998. People now have to pay Warner about $2 million a year to use the song in commercials and movies.

Sheesh. Why does Warner get such a long copyright? The song already existed. It’s not like the composer needs protection.

Bridgeport Music,

a business that makes no music but obtains copyrights and then sues people, won a lawsuit over two seconds of sound. When we questioned that, their lawyer wrote back: “I personally do not understand those who criticize people for protecting their intellectual property ... (We) happen to own valuable music.”

Give me a break. He’s an opportunistic parasite.

I wonder about my former employer, Disney, too. It paid nothing for the Snow White story because it was in the public domain. But then Disney managed to get its version of Snow White copyrighted for 95 years. Will 95 years of protection make Disney’s animators more creative? I doubt it.

In the era of the Internet, when young people take mashups and do-it-yourself parodies for granted, maybe intellectual property in its current form has outlived its expiration date.

David Koepsell, of the Center for Inquiry, says today’s rules are hostile to free speech.

“Intellectual property law actually prevents me from making certain expressions, things that are allegedly other people’s own.”

Lawyer Stephan Kinsella, author of “Against Intellectual Property ,” says copyright decreases intellectual output because it “prevents people from saying what they want to say, from copying, learning, sharing, remixing.” That stops some books from being reprinted and movies from being remade.

When Hollywood complains about “piracy,” Kinsella asks, “Why call it piracy? Pirates stole.

But if you copy ideas, you don’t take anything away from the originator.”

Thomas Jefferson once agreed, writing, “He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper (candle) at mine, receives light without darkening me.”

Plans are formulating for the High Tea event April 18 at Cor-

nerstone Church in Newton. The speaker will be the “Apron Lady.”

The program was a study of the effects of pollution in our environment. A DVD entitled “Bag It” discussed the use of single use disposable containers such as plastic grocery bags, drink bottles and other plastic packaging made from materials that last forever.

In the United States, we use 100 billion plastic bags per year which require 20 million barrels of oil to manufacture. Many locations worldwide are banning use of plastic bags. Individuals can cut back on use of single use disposables, bring their own containers to shop, drink tap water and consume less.

Woman’s red face gains her unwanted attention

DEAR ABBY: I have a problem with blushing. Whenever I’m the center of attention, even if it’s with just one other person, my face goes bright red. This even happens when I’m not feeling embarrassed.

I’ve learned to cope with the feeling of my face flushing. What I’m having trouble with is people’s comments about why my face is so red.

I’ve never been able to come up with a good response. Telling them I’m not really embarrassed is met with skepticism. Please help. — RED-FACED IN MEMPHIS DEAR RED-FACED: My advice is to be upfront and tell the questioner that you don’t know why it happens, but you’re not embarrassed. As you already know, blushing can happen if someone suffers from a social phobia. In cases like that, counseling and support groups can help. However, because you find it happening even when you are not pressured or embarrassed, discuss it with your physician to be sure there isn’t an underlying physical problem.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been dating my 42-year-old boyfriend, “Mike,” for a year. I love him, but he’s a heavy drinker. He has a glass or two of whiskey on a daily basis and goes through a huge bottle of whiskey every weekend. (He also drinks beer like water.)

When I asked him to cut back, he refused because he “loves” whiskey. I have never seen him drunk or act intoxicated, so he obviously has a high tolerance.

It bothers me that Mike drinks so much and that he won’t cut back.

I told him I wouldn’t marry him unless he does. My problem is, I don’t know whether he’s an alcoholic since he doesn’t ever show signs of intoxication. I’ve been told that alcoholism is a progressive disease and that it will only increase.

What constitutes an alcoholic? Is it possible for Mike to drink every day but not be one? I don’t want to lose him, but he also has a very bad temper, and I’m afraid it’s not a good combination if we were to get married. — TORN IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR TORN: You are right to be concerned. Even if Mike promised “not to drink so much,” he might backslide on his promise after the wedding.

Also, has it occurred to you that the whiskey may be part of what is causing Mike’s bad temper? Large quantities of alcohol have been known to alter a person’s perception, and the results can be explosive. If you haven’t already done so, consider attending an Al-Anon meeting, which may confirm this.

I’m not a medical doctor, but it would be interesting to know what your boyfriend’s physician thinks about the amount of alcohol he consumes, because the quantity you say Mike puts away may put him at risk for cirrhosis of the liver.

This may be more information than you asked for, but I don’t think Mike is marriage material because it appears he is already wedded to his bottle.

Man gives up vegetarian diet to judge bacon festival contest The Associated Press DES MOINES — The only time of year Kevin Moreland eats meat is when he serves as a judge at the Des Moines bacon festival’s food competition.

The Des Moines Register reports that Moreland again served as a judge at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival on Saturday. He became a vegetarian in 2010 to help him meet his fitness goals.

Festival founder Brooks Reynolds asked Moreland to be a judge because of his restaurant background and the fact that he’s attended seven of the eight bacon festivals.

“We try to utilize industry people that have a food background, whether they’re chefs or writers or bloggers or foodies in general, as judges,” Reynolds said.

The winter storm warning for Jasper County expired at 9 p.m Sunday, and sunshine followed by partly cloudy skies are expected through Monday. Although the snow has tapered, wind causing blowing snow is expected to make travel around the state difficult. Gusts could reach 30 to 40 mph across the northern and

western parts of the state. Temperatures fell overnight, causing wind chill values to drop to 5 to 10 degrees below zero north of Interstate 80.

The Iowa Department of Transportation reports many major and residential roadways were still snow covered throughout much of Iowa as of presstime Monday. But conditions have improved since Sunday, as crews continue to plow and treat highways and major thoroughfares.

Iowans may face premiums for Medicaid The Associated Press DES MOINES — As Iowa’s modified Medicaid expansion hits the oneyear anniversary mark, some enrollees will be asked to pay small monthly premiums because they have not yet completed a required physical exam and health questionnaire.

For Gov. Terry Branstad, setting these health requirements was a key provision for expanding Medicaid in Iowa using funding from President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. The state received federal approval to make modifications to the traditional Medicaid terms, including setting health requirements and charging contributions.

Despite being a vegetarian, Moreland knows his meats because he used to own a barbecue restaurant in Altoona. So Moreland ignores his dietary restrictions one day a year to help pick the best dishes.

“Every year, (the organizers) ask if I’m sure I want to judge, and I’m like, ‘Listen, it’s my one time a year that I can eat meat, and what better thing to eat than bacon,’” he said.

As part of his judging duties, Moreland sampled bacon-infused cheese, a cinnamon roll covered with bacon, a fried pickle and some bacon-wrapped ribs.

Eating all that meat does cause some problems for Moreland’s digestion, but he’s willing to do it once a year.

“It’s basically a one-day recovery,” Moreland said. “It feels like a food hangover.”

Companies strike serious, somber tone in Super Bowl ads NEW YORK (AP) — Forget slapstick and sex in Super Bowl ads: This year, serious was the name of the game.

Nationwide ran an ad on preventable childhood death. Carnival struck a somber note with a voiceover by John F. Kennedy speaking lyrically about the sea. And a public service announcement by coalition No More depicted a chilling 911 call from a battered woman to demonstrate the terror of domestic abuse.

Other advertisers had positive, albeit equally serious themes: McDonald’s said it would let some customers pay with acts of kindness, Coca-Cola showed online negativity and bullying turning positive and Procter & Gamble’s ad for its Always feminine products brand tried to redefine what it means to do things like a girl.

“It’s a shame there aren’t any commercials for antidepressants because these commercials make me want some,” said Jon Early, who was watching the game in New York with friends. “Football is supposed to be an escape.”

The serious tone is an effort to win over Americans who have a lower tolerance for crass ads with an overuse of sexually explicit themes and sophomoric humor. They also have short attention spans these days, thanks to the bite-sized communication of social media.

The serious spots were a continuation of a trend that started last year when advertisers shied away from the tactics that had been commonplace during Super Bowl. The difference this year is that many of the serious ads had an overarching “message” to live better, think better and be better.

With 30-second ads costing $4.5 million for the chance to market their brand to 110-plus million Americans, advertisers were trying to stand out by marketing socially conscious messages. In the process, they hoped to boost the image of their brands.

“The Super Bowl reflects what’s hap-

Budweiser provided another heart-felt ad during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday.

pening in the country,” said Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. “Maybe in the country today we’re a little more reflective and a little more pensive.”

A Microsoft ad with a voiceover by rapper Common told the story of Braylon O’Neill, a boy who was born missing the tibia and fibula bones in both of his legs so he had to learn to live with prosthetic legs developed by Microsoft.

The ad struck some similar notes with Toyota’s Camry ad, which featured Paralympian Amy Purdy, who also has prosthetic legs snowboarding and dancing set to a speech by Muhammad Ali that ends “I’ll show you how great I am.”

Some serious ads bordered on sober.

Nissan returned to the Super Bowl after 18 years with an ad featuring the story line of an up-and-coming race driver and his wife struggling to balance work and raising their son. In a jarring detail that many on social media pointed out, the ad was set to “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin, who was killed in a car crash.

And a Nationwide ad showed a boy riding a school bus and lamenting he’ll never learn to fly, or travel the world with my best friend, or even grow up, because he died in an accident. The ad was aimed at stopping preventable childhood accidents, but Charles Taylor, marketing professor at the Villanova School of Business in Pennsylvania, said it received the most negative response from his ad viewing panel.

“It’s just playing with fire focusing on an adolescents’ death in the context of the Super Bowl,” he said.

Other advertisers tried to implore people to do positive things.

In apparent commentary on how heavily food companies market to Americans, Weight Watchers’ Super Bowl debut ad showed pizza, doughnuts in large portions with an ominous voiceover saying “You gotta eat, right?” A tagline said

Weight Watchers can help members take control.

But it didn’t resonate with all viewers, many of who were at Super Bowl parties eating snacks. “Some people are saying it made them want to eat more than anything,” said Villanova’s Taylor.

Meanwhile, fast food chain McDonald’s announced it will randomly select customers who can pay for their food with acts of goodwill, such as calling their moms and telling them they love them as part of a Valentine’s Day promotion that starts Monday.

Not all ads were serious, though.

Nationwide’s other ad showed “Mindy Project” star Mindy Kaling walking around New York believing she is invisible and doing scandalous acts, including sitting naked in Central Park and going through a car wash. Then, she tries to kiss actor Matt Damon, but as it turns out, he can see her. The idea is Nationwide doesn’t treat customers like they’re invisible.

Naomi Zikmund-Fisher, a psychotherapist watching the game in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said the ad appealed to her. “It sucked you in as a plot and then ruined it for her,” she said.

Another ad scored early. Chevrolet’s spot before kickoff appeared to be a live game feed that turned into static and a blank screen, shocking some viewers.

Chevrolet used the trick to show that its Colorado truck has 4G LTE Wi Fi, allowing for live game streaming in the truck.

“That one got all of our attention,” said Kirin Jessel, who watched the game with co-workers in Oakland, Calif. “We were thinking ‘Oh my God, what’s happening.’”

Tish, Lee win LHC wrestling championships

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Keeping things under control on their feet is Newton’s Duncan Lee as he lifts Jake Seely of Nowalk up to bring him back to the mat during the championship match of the 195-pound weight class Saturday. Lee won the Little Hawkeye Conference 195-pound title by pinning Seely in the conference tournament at Newton,

Bryce Tish got redemption. Duncan Lee took care of business.

The two Newton High junior wrestlers accomplished the same feat in different manners Saturday in Newton High’s gymnasium.

Tish (26-12) and Lee (29-9) became first-time Little Hawkeye Conference champions.

Tish, who placed third a year ago, captured the 145-pound conference title with a 4-1 decision over Grinnell’s Jake Simon.

Tish had pinned Brady Beerbower of Oskaloosa in 54 seconds in a quarterfinal match, then defeated Norwalk’s Ryley Smith 7-2 in the semifinals.

“He (Simon) beat meet a few weeks ago, so it was a little redemption out there for me,” Tish said. “It feels great and to get win the championship at home was great. I

really didn’t know the score or the situation in the final. I just went out and did what I do.”

Lee was seeded No. 1 heading into the tournament in a 195-pound bracket with three wrestlers.

He received two byes to reach the championship match, waiting the full day before wrestling. Seely defeated Andrew Seim of Dallas Center-Grimes, 12-5, in a semifinal match.

“It’s never hard to get ready for a championship match, but it was tough warming up at 9 a.m. then waiting five hours to wrestle,” Lee said following winning the 195-pound title match.

“I just got ready to go out and do my stuff.”

Lee said after getting the first takedown of the match against Seely, he focused on getting his offense going on the mat. Lee led 4-2 after the first period and built up a 9-2 lead going into the third period. Less than 30 seconds into the fi-

Cardinal swimmers win three NCSC titles

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DECORAH — Every race, every time and every champion were firsts Saturday for the six boys’ swimming teams comprising the North Central Swim Conference. The teams held the first-ever NCSC boys’ swimming conference meet at Luther College’s Aquatic Center in Decorah.

Newton High’s Cardinals made conference history, putting the first conference meet championship in the books. Off the blocks first was the 200-yard medley relay race and the Cardinals’ foursome of freshman Lucas Warner, senior Jake Lensing and juniors Isaak Webb and Aaron King won a close race with Boone.

Newton’s time was 1 minute, 42.50 seconds and Boone was second at 1:43.93.

“The first conference

meet was really exciting.

There were great races throughout the day and the pool facility at Luther College is spectacular,” said Dave Hook, Newton head coach. “Our kids performed well. It was a close team race between Decorah, Boone and us.”

The Cardinals claimed three NCSC event championships.

Lensing, Warner, King and Webb combined again to win the 200 freestyle relay race midway through the meet. The four took the conference title in new NHS record rime of 1:30.59. The old Newton

Warner

mark was 1:30.62 set in 2012 by Luke Norcross, Austin Bunker, Ryan Jolivette and Matheus Pinto.

Webb won the 100 butterfly in 53.84 seconds with King in fourth place at 58.77 seconds and senior Christian Laube in eighth at 1:05.14.

Decorah won the team championship with 395 points and Boone was second with 358 points. Newton finished third with 259 points followed by Grinnell with 160, VintonShellsburg with 75 and Oskaloosa with 43 points.

“We took third with just 11 swimmers. That’s pretty

nal period, Lee caught Seely in a cradle hold and pinned him.

“It’s great to win a conference championship here at home in front of our crowd,” Lee said. “I didn’t win a varsity match last year, so to see all the hard work in over the summer pay off is great. I came into this season knowing I was going to win. I went out today to get ready for districts because Norwalk is in our district.”

The Cardinals finished sixth in the conference tournament with 134 points. Grinnell won the LHC tournament championship with 205 points, edging out Norwalk with 202 points. DCG was third at 191.5 followed by Oskaloosa at 156.5 and Pella at 140.5.

“It was a fun day and a very good day for our team. We wrestled to seed or better in all our weight classes,” said Andy Swedenhjelm, WRESTLING | 6B

good,” Hook said. “We saw drops in times and kids had good swims all day.”

Lensing battled in the “splash-and-dash” 50 freestyle race and finished second in 22.55 seconds.

Jerod Heying of Decorah was first in 22.02 seconds and Nick Schroeder of Boone was third in 22.57.

Newton’s senior Jeffrey Fitzgerald was ninth in 24.62 seconds and sophomore Clay Trotter placed 15th in 27.32 seconds.

Warner placed second in another close finish in the 100 freestyle touching second in 50.41 seconds to Boone’s Schroeder, whose time was 49.85 seconds.

Webb and Lensing went 2-3 in the 100 breaststroke. Decorah’s Mac Faldet won in 1:00.52 followed by Webb at 1:00.98 and Lensing at 1:02.38.

Paul Maharry, Newton sophomore, was eighth in 1:16.93.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Tom Brady and the Patriots made this Super Bowl all about football, not footballs.

Clutch football, spiced by a sensational fourth-quarter rally and a goalline, game-saving interception.

The record-setting Brady threw for four touchdowns, including a 3-yarder to Julian Edelman with 2:02 remaining Sunday night as New England rallied from a 10-point deficit to win its fourth Super Bowl in the Brady-Bill Belichick era, 28-24 over Seattle.

But the Patriots (15-4) had to survive a last-ditch drive by the Seahawks (14-5), who got to the 1-yard line, helped by a spectacular juggling catch

by Jermaine Kearse. Rookie Malcolm Butler stepped in front of Ricardo Lockette and picked off Russell Wilson’s off-target pass to complete one of the wildest Super Bowl finishes.

Brady leaped for joy on the Patriots sideline after Butler’s interception.

“It wasn’t the way we drew it up,” said Brady, who won his third Super Bowl MVP award.

Saydel completes sweep of Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES – A slow start offensively plagued the ColfaxMingo b o y s ’ basketball team during a 48-39 loss to Saydel on Frid a y night.

Myers T h e Tigerhawks scored just 12 points in the first half and couldn’t fully recover during a nine-point defeat. Colfax-Mingo (0-15 overall, 0-14 in HOIAC) won the second half, but the early deficit was too much to overcome.

It was the third straight win for the Eagles (8-8, 7-7).

“We had every chance to comeback in the second half, but just couldn’t get it done,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said. “We didn’t get on track offensively in the first half. The defense kept us close, but we missed way too many shots in the lane.”

Jared Myers finished with 13 points and eight rebounds, while Jarod Nichols added nine points and seven rebounds.

Jacob Lietz collected eight points and five boards and Colin Lourens pulled down seven rebounds, too.

Raiders take fifth at Colfax-Mingo duals

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter heavyweight Archer McFadden has become more than just a thrower over the past few weeks.

The Raider sophomore has concentrated more on getting quality takedowns than he has on simply trying to overpower his opponents and the results are starting to pay off.

McFadden went 5-0 with four pins on Saturday at the Colfax-Mingo Dual Tournament. Three of those pins came in the opening minute.

He is now 27-7 on the year and appears to be ready to make a run at a state tournament berth.

“He’s made a lot of progress the past two weeks,” CMB coach Mike Leslie said. “The biggest thing for him is not getting caught in a bad position and he was able to stay away from that (Saturday).”

It was an up and down day overall for the Raiders, who went 3-2 as a team. A 58-24 win over the Indianola junior varsity in the tournament finale gave CMB a fifth-place finish in the 10-team field.

CMB opened competition with a 42-30 win over the Dowling Catholic JV and ended it with wins over the JV all-stars (25-18) and the Indians. In between were a pair of disappointing efforts against Pleasantville (49-24) and Southeast Warren (56-21).

“Overall, it was a good day,” Leslie said. “We started off really well and finished strong.

We had a little bit of a let down in the middle, but we wrestled pretty well for the most part.”

Colfax-Mingo finished the day 1-4 and earned an eighthplace finish. The host Tigerhawks opened with a 61-6 loss to Central Decatur and then dropped a 53-15 decision to Van Meter and a 42-29 decision to the Indianola JV. They got into the win column with a 24-22 win over Des Moines North/Hoover before losing in the placing match to the Dowling Catholic JV, 54-18.

“With seven wrestlers, you just hope that you can stay in the match and maybe wear the other guys down a bit,” Colfax-Mingo coach Bryan Poulter said. “We have to use conditioning as a tool because we just don’t have the experience and the numbers. But we went further into matches today so that was a positive.”

ColfaxMingo’s best finisher was Richard Blom, who went 4-1 in his five matches. The Tigerhawk senior is now 2811 on the year.

Jake Hennick (126), Blom Blake Coughenour (182) and Charles Robertson all won four matches for CMB. Hennick was 4-0 with three pins and a forfeit and is now 25-9 on the year. Coughenour was 4-1 with three pins and a forfeit and Robertson scored four pins in going 4-1.

“The competition for Jake wasn’t that great today, but we saw some good things from him,” Leslie said. “Blake is still young as a wrestler, but he has made some good adjustments recently that has helped him finish the season strong.”

Dowling led 30-18 against

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Archer McFadden, top, went 5-0 with four pins on Saturday during the Colfax-Mingo Dual Tournament. The Raiders took fifth as a team, finishing 3-2 on the day.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Ty Carlson, top, did not score back points with this move and lost to Central Decatur’s Wyatt Dale 14-7 in his opening 113-pound match on Saturday at the Colfax-Mingo Dual Tournament. The Tigerhawks went 1-4 on the day and finished in eighth place.

CMB in the opening dual of the day, but the Raiders once again rode their heavier weights to the win. Coughenour, Logan Mitchell and Robertson all got pins to give the Raiders the lead and the final match ended in a McFadden forfeit.

The four matches that CMB won against Pleasantville came by way of pins from Hennick, Robertson and McFadden and a forfeit victory from Tate Ewing.

Hennick Hennick, Coughenour and McFadden once again got pins against Southeast Warren, and the other three points came from a 2-0 decision by Ethan Cozad.

The JV all-stars were made up of wrestlers from CMB, Van Meter, Central Decatur, Southeast Warren and Pleasantville.

Cozad put the Raiders on the board in that dual with a 5-0 win at 138. Evan Bianchi made it 7-6 with a major decision at 145. CMB gave up the lead after surrendering forfeits at 152 and 170, but Coughenour lowered the deficit with his forfeit win at 182.

The Raiders wound up on the winning end of the dual thanks to back-to-back pins

by Robertson and McFadden at 220 and 285, respectively.

CMB got out to a fast start against the Indians, taking a 34-6 lead after pins from Hennick, Cozad and Frank Sposeto, forfeit victories from Ewing and Lincoln Brown and a major decision by Bianchi.

Indianola was given forfeits at the next three weights, but CMB’s back end of the lineup was once again strong.

Coughenour, Mitchell, Robertson and McFadden all won by fall to secure a fifth-place team finish.

The lone win for the Tigerhawks against Central Decatur came by way of a forfeit to Adam Teed at 126 pounds.

Against Indianola, ColfaxMingo got pins from Teed, Blom, Colton Lourens and Will Dunsbergen and Ty Carlson won by technical fall. The Tigerhawks led 29-6 before the Indians rallied by winning the final six matches.

Both CMB and ColfaxMingo are off until Saturday’s Class 1A Sectional 7 Tournament in Brooklyn.

Lynnville-Sully also will be there, along with South Iowa Cedar League champion Iowa Valley, 1A No. 10 West Mar-

shall, Belle Plaine, HLV and host BGM. Action kicks off at noon.

West Marshall will be the favorite to win the sectional. The Trojans’ three ranked wrestlers include Cole Needham (4th at 120), Jared Johnson (7th at 152) and Dale Hilleman (1st at 170. Hilleman is the defending state champion, while Needham and Johnson were both 2013 state qualifiers.

The Trojans have qualified for the state team dual tournament the past two seasons.

Iowa Valley has ranked wrestlers at 126 and 138, BGM’s Colton Massengale is 10th at 182 and Belle Plaine’s Joey Schwenn is 10th at 170.

Notebook Poulter announced before the day began that the Colfax-Mingo Dual Tournament will have to change its date moving forward because the South Iowa Cedar League Tournament will be on the same weekend. The Tigerhawks move into the SICL in all sports starting next season. ... Southeast Warren, which has six ranked wrestlers in its starting lineup, won the tournament with a 5-0 day.

Lynnville-Sully wrestling finished fourth in 2015 SICL tournament

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Three Lynnville-Sully wrestlers worked their way into championship matches at Saturday’s South Iowa Cedar League conference tournament, hosted by Lynnville-Sully.

Cole Nickell at 113 pounds, Carson Dunsbergen at 126 and Blake Wehrle at 195 came up short of conference championships.

CMB girls halt losing skid, boys lose in final seconds

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEWELL — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls’ basketball team hit 9-of-13 from 3-point range and a strong third quarter helped them end a seven-game losing streak.

Brianda Bane buried three treys and finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds, while Lexi Breon added 15 points, five assists and four rebounds as the Raiders downed host South Hamilton, 62-45.

Bridget Hurley also scored 15 points and grabbed five boards.

Carter Larson corralled 12 boards, too. Both Breon and Hurley each connected on three triples.

CMB (3-15 overall, 3-12 in HOIAC) led 17-11 after one and used a 19-10 advantage in the third to pull away for good. The Raiders made 20-of-44 from the floor and 13-of-18 from the foul line.

South Hamilton dropped to 2-15 overall and 2-14 in conference play.

BOYS South Hamilton 52, CMB 49 JEWELL – The CMB boys basketball team held a 49-46 lead with 4 seconds to go, but Marco Balderas went 6-of-6 from the line to complete South Hamilton’s rally in the final seconds.

CMB led 37-23 after three quarters, but the Hawks, who got 17 points and eight rebounds in the game from Andy Cook, outscored their visitors 2912 in the final 8 minutes.

Balderas, a freshman, finished with nine points. He was fouled with 3.9 seconds to play and then CMB was called for a technical foul. Those four freebies put the Hawks (4-10 overall, 4-9 in HOIAC) ahead and Balderas was fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass and hit both free throws again.

Bryce Kemp led the Raiders with 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists, while Seth Balke had 11 points, six assists and six rebounds.

Brady Stover buried three 3-pointers and finished with 12 points.

But only three other CMB players scored and none put in more than three points.

Patrick Girard collected four assists and five rebounds.

CMB (7-9, 5-7) led 13-10 after one and took a 22-16 lead into halftime.

The Raiders lost by three and went 6-of-14 from the foul line.

Both CMB squads will try for the season sweep against ColfaxMingo on Tuesday. The doubleheader will tip off at 6 p.m. in Baxter.

Cardinal bowling teams sweep Indians

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Bryce Tish works a hold to turn Grinnell’s Jake Simon in the 2015 Little Hawkeye Conference tournament’s 145-pound weight class championship match. The Newton junior claimed his first LHC division championship with a 4-1 decision Saturday at Newton.

Wrestling Continued from Page 1B Newton head coach. “This was a great environment all day with good wrestling. This conference has a lot of good teams in it.”

Newton had one other wrestler reach a championship match.

Junior Hunter Versteegh, the defending LHC champion at 113-pounds, was unseated by Zane Mulder of Dallas CenterGrimes. The title bout was a rematch of Thursday’s dual match between Newton and DCG. Mulder went on the offensive with a takedown and finally turned Versteegh for a pin in the second period. Versteegh (34-5) did not have to face a wrestleback for a true second place since he had already defeated Cody Lehman with a pin in 5 minutes, 40 seconds of a semifinal match.

Five Newton wrestlers earned medals and All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors Saturday.

The top three wrestlers in each weight class receive medals and honors.

Freshmen Reece Thurmond at 138 pounds and Tristin Langmaid at 160 pounds finished third in their respectively weight divisions. They join Versteegh, Lee and Tish as All-LHC wrestlers.

“Hunter had a tough kid. But Hunter knows if he wants to get where he wants to be, he’s got to overcome those things. He has to go out and wrestle his match and not allow other people get in his head,” Swedenhjelm said.

“Going from a fourth seed to winning it today for Bryce is pretty impressive. It speaks volumes of his mental toughness and focus. Duncan was just taking care of business. He wrestled at 160 a year ago, which was his first year in wrestling, and didn’t win a varsity match. He worked

Turnovers cost the Cardinals in the second quarter as the Fillies converted to build a 24-10 lead. DCG went to the locker room with a 35-17 advantage at halftime.

Reynolds led Newton with seven points and Michaela Jacobsen added six points. The Cardinals shot 32.5 percent, 14-of-43, from the field and went 7-of-16 from the free-throw line.

Jacobsen and Ellie Horn each had four rebounds. Jenkins made three assists and Jacobsen had two assists.

Rachel Lowary finished with 15 points.

Newton is 2-6 in LHC play and 2-14 overall. The Cardinals go to Grinnell in conference action Tuesday.

as hard as anyone in the weight room and put on 30 pounds of muscle. Duncan’s work ethic is second to none and it is showing right now.”

Thurmond lost a quarterfinal match by a 15-4 major decision to Norwalk’s Jack Livingston to open the day at 138 pounds.

After a bye, Thurmond chalked up his own major decision win, 19-9, over Zac Randau of Oskaloosa. In the third-place match, Thurmond defeated Jacob Murillo of DCG, 11-5.

Langmaid won his 160-pound quarterfinal match with a pin of Sean Kelly of DCG in 1:20, then was pinned by Norwalk’s Zach Cook right at the end of the first period of a semifinal match.

Langmaid moved to the third place match via a bye and met Kelly again, winning on a 13-4 major decision.

Neither Thurmond (11-14) or Langmaid (19-14) had a wrestleback opportunity for a true second place finish in their weight classes by rule. They had already lost to the second-place finisher.

Sophomore Aren Sorenson lost his third-place match at 106 as he was pinned by Alannah Vetterick of Norwalk in 2:25.

Sorenson (11-11) had a bye, was pinned by Max Tracy of DCG in 2:40, then won by a 12-2 major decision over Talon Munger of Oskaloosa to reach the thirdplace match.

Brady Smith, a sophomore, lost a major decision, 12-2, to Nick Brushaber of DCG in the 152-pound third-place match.

Smith (23-20) was pinned by Garret Jay of Grinnell in 1:43 in a semifinal match then defeated Austin Bragg of Pella, 13-8, in a consolation semifinal match.

Placing fifth for Newton were juniors Jacob Smith (12-17) at 182 pounds and Jordan Henning (12-14) at 220 pounds. Taking scored more than points. With each 3-pointer, the Cardinals helped raise money for “3-point Attack on Cancer” sponsored by NHS Coaches vs. Cancer. Friday’s home game with Oskaloosa will be NHS Senior Night and Coaches vs. Cancer.

In the junior varsity game, Newton lost 40-36 in a backand-forth game. The Cardinals led 20-18 at halftime then rallied to a 33-30 lead in the fourth quarter. Moon and Megan Pressgrove each had eight points for Newton.

The Cardinal freshmen won 41-25 over DCG, racing out to a 22-8 halftime advantage. Abby Blom had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Taylor Ryan scored nine points.

“We’re all on the same page heading into districts.”

“We took great shots tonight.

Our guys deserved to win that game,” said Nick Wilkins, Newton head coach, following the contest. “They executed our game plan. This one is on me.

I should have tried something different in the second half.”

Newton’s Drew Stout opened the game with a 3-pointer. Stout hit three threes in the game on his way to 11 points. The Cardinals were up 13-12 at the end of the first quarter, but the Mustangs got the first basket of the second period to take the lead.
