The Red Rock Area Community Action Program will be seeking support from the Jasper County Board of Supervisors at Tuesday’s meeting.

RRACAP’s Jasper Coordinator Amy Hansen will be the representative for the program. In lieu of financial support, which it has received in the past, RRACAP is asking the board to continue to allow it to use office space in the county annex building rent free.

In a letter submitted to the board, Hansen spoke on how essential the space is for RRACAP. “The space granted to us by the county is conveniently located, and we appreciate the fact that we don’t have to pay rent,” Hansen wrote. “The addition of (a) door and window to our office has allowed us to create a waiting room and provide for increased

confidentiality for our clients. We are grateful for the time and financing allotted for this project.”

RRACAP provides financial and other types of assistance to low-income individuals and families in its five county outreach area. According to RRACAP, they provided assistance to 2,393 individuals and 1,023 households in Jasper County in 2013.

County Engineer Russ Stutt will ask the board to approve a resolution to set a public meeting for the Secondary Road Departments five-year plan. Stutt is suggesting a date of Feb. 25, at 1 p.m. in room 203 of Jasper County Courthouse.

The five-year plan itself details potential road and bridge construction and repaving projects in the county.

A long-time county employee has announced her intention to seek election to be her boss’ replacement in January.

Deputy County Recorder Denise Allan of Newton will seek the office of Jasper County Recorder this year. She has been working in the recorder’s office since 2011; prior to that, since 1991, she worked in the county auditor’s office.

She began working in the auditor’s office as a real estate clerk, where she maintained real estate records and maps for taxation purposes. She also processed tax credit applications and assisted with elections.

Allan received her certification as a deputy recorder from the Iowa County Recorder’s Association last fall. She said she is looking forward to the years ahead and her continued service to the people of Jasper County.

Born in Marshall County, she first moved to Jasper County with her family at the age of 2, residing in Baxter until moving to Newton in 2009. She has two grown sons and two grandchildren.

Authorities see increase in thefts, burglaries

By Daily News Staff The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office has received an usually high number of theft and burglary reports within the last month, according to a news release from the sheriff ’s office.

The thefts are occurring at all hours; however, recent information suggests homes are being targeting during the day while residents are at work.

The most recent event occurred while a subject was inside of her home with the doors locked. Two males came to the door, knocked loudly and then tried to enter the home by walking around the house and checking each door to see if they were unlocked.

“We consider this activity suspicious and ask that you call the sheriff ’s office immediately if someone is trying to break into your home,” stated Lt. Aaron E. Groves in the news release. “Additionally, if you recognize any vehicles in your neighborhood as suspicious, we ask that you call the sheriff ’s office with a vehicle description and a license plate number if possible.”

Recently stolen items include ATVs, UTVs, a skid loader, tools, tractor batteries, money and large amounts of copper wire, most of which has been taken from grain bins.

“The sheriff ’s office is asking for the public’s help in identifying potential suspects who are committing these thefts and burglaries,” Groves stated in the release. “Any information you can provide to help identity suspects or the location of stolen property would be beneficial to the sheriff ’s office and the overall safety and welfare of the citizens of Jasper County.”

Her mother, Elizabeth, though not a musician herself, required all of

her children to play instruments. Tina and her sister, Bernadine, were prodigious musicians who turned professional when Tina was 14.

Keeping In Touch

Empty Nest

Just the facts This was the first full week of committee meetings in the General Assembly. In addition, multiple groups of citizens converged on the Capitol to lobby for their desired objectives.

In the evenings, receptions were held by eight different organizations to

By Dennis Black showcase their legislative agen- Iowa Senate District 15 das, meet constituents and listen to talks from organization leaders making a case for their issues. One special reception each year is that of Hy-Vee. They really don’t direct their reception to any plea for legislation, but rather the CEO will address the hundreds present with a focus on Iowa’s economy, the progress of Hy-Vee, breadth of their community involvement in giving to essential causes, and future plans for growth both in and out-of-state.

Did you know that the new Waukee Hy-Vee has slightly more than 600 employees? Truly amazing!

Our full Appropriations Committee was honored with a presentation from the governor’s director of the Department of Management. David Roederer, the budget director, presented a PowerPoint on the governor’s budget for FY2014-15.

Gov. Branstad’s recommended budget to the legislature was shown on a pie chart and caught the attention of all. It showed that spending for Education (Pre-school through 12; regents’ institutions; community colleges; books and transportation for private schools), totaled 55 percent; Health and Human Services was proposed at 28 percent; and the Judiciary came in at 10 percent. These three items add up to 93 percent, and thus all remaining General Fund spending for state government agencies totals 7 percent (Department of Transportation excluded).

I had to ask if the figures were accurate, for if so, its little wonder the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture combined are simply a lines-width on the large pie chart (less than one-half of one percent). And thus, it is easy to understand why so little can be accomplished by these agencies in the area of soil and water conservation and natural resource management and protection.

Absolutely pitiful, and a sad, sad commentary for a state that once prided itself with a pristine natural environment in which to live and raise a family. Hopefully, this illustrates the reason why I’m writing my own budget for these two departments, rather than waiting to receive a maximum figure from the Appropriations chair.

I know what it takes to make progress with saving our soil and improving water quality, and my budget will reflect that position. If not accepted by other legislators, at least I’ve done my job.

An update for readers regarding the Emerald Ash Borer: The Waterloo mayor advised Sen. Bill Dotzler this past week that several infested trees have been found in that community.

It’s getting closer to central Iowa, and I would surmise that it is already here.

Readers with a computer, please Google “Emerald Ash Borer.” You need to see how to identify the entry passage into the white, green and black ash species. Once infested, nothing can be done to save the tree.

This is why I’m urging every homeowner with ash trees to plant additional trees in hir or her yard in early spring. Specie selection can be determined from the Iowa DNR website, or contact me by any means below for my personal recommendation.

During the session, call me at (515) 281-3371; write me at the Senate, Capitol Building, Des Moines, 50319; or e-mail dennis.black@legis.iowa. gov. I value your thoughts and opinions.

Steve Wilson: The Bird Man Steve Wilson shined his bright LED cap-light around the edge of the Mount Pleasant pond. He could see where reeds were bent, a good hiding place for “Stormy,” the “brokenwinged” goose.

T h e r e Stormy was.

By Curt Swarm Tr a i n i n g Guest Columnist the light on him, Steve knew the goose was blinded and wouldn’t move. Wearing hip boots, Steve waded into the shallow water and carefully picked Stormy up, holding him so he couldn’t flap.

He took Stormy to the people who had named him and who had called Steve to come and attempt a rescue. Stormy was so named because he was first seen during a storm, and was constantly being harassed by kids and dogs.

Steve showed the people that Stormy’s wing wasn’t broken, but deformed by a developmental disorder called “Angel Wing,” where the tip of the folded wing turns out.

He also noted that Stormy was an Egyptian Goose, probably released by local people.

There was nothing that could be done for the deformed wing now, but Steve agreed to take care of Stormy.

Around Southeast Iowa, Steve Wilson is known as “The Bird Man.” A visit to Steve and Joy Wilson’s rural home near Oakland Mills

is quite an adventure. Not only is Stormy well cared for, but also Amy, a Canada goose, and Buddy, a trumpeter swan.

Steve Wilson is a licensed game breeder. Buddy, the trumpeter swan, was part of Steve Wilson’s raiseand-release project, except that Buddy, the “odd man out,” refused to fly away. Buddy became infatuated with Steve’s wife, Joy, and views Steve as competition (I’m serious).

Consequently, Buddy drives Steve away from Joy — he’s a watchswan. Steve and Joy take Buddy to school demonstrations and wetland restoration talks. Buddy follows right along behind.

Amy, the Canada goose, was hatched, deformed, on their doorstep. She couldn’t walk. Joy taped Amy’s feet apart and made braces for her legs. Amy also follows them around the farm.

The grand sight at Wilson’s farm, however, is the pond behind their house. It is not a large pond, but in the winter the Wilsons feed thousands of migratory Canada geese, a hundred ducks, and three trumpeter swans.

The flocks split time between feeding on corn at the pond, enjoying the open water, algae and grit below the spillway at Oakland Mills, and gathering waste grain from surrounding fields.

When Steve, 65, was a boy, there were no geese on the Skunk River at Oakland Mills, and trumpeter swans were extinct in Iowa. Steve got to work with friends and conservation officials to start raise-andrelease programs, wetland restoration projects, and rebuilding habitat

breeding pools.

He founded the Sanctuary Wetlands Association, and has been a member of the Trumpeter Swan Society, and the International Wild Waterfowl Association, among others.

Steve and Joy have purchased some land for wildfowl sanctuaries, including a small lake that was formed from a DOT borrow pit — where soil was removed and used in highway construction. Steve has named it “Joy Lake” after his wife.

During the winter, the Skunk River at Oakland Mills is alive with ducks, geese and, yes, trumpeter swans. Eagles circle overhead and roost in trees along the river. This year, 10 trumpeter swans were regular visitors at Oakland Mills — nine adults and one grayling.

With severe cold temperatures, the ducks and geese huddle on the ice to conserve energy.

Heartsill on the Hill

How to boil a frog in water This past week in the Iowa House, representatives were busy vetting the various pieces of legislation in their respective subcommittee hearings. During this process, the bill that grabbed the most attention during the week was

By Greg Heartsill House Study Bill 514, a bill Iowa House District 28 which would increase the state’s gasoline tax over the next three years.

Interestingly enough is the fact that this gas tax hike is being led by some House Republicans. What’s even more ironic is the location of this particular subcommittee hearing.

Of all the meeting places in the Capitol, the 5-0 vote, which advances this bill to the full Transportation Committee, occurred in Room 19, the Ronald Reagan Room. I’m sure our 40th President, a man known for his stand on lower taxes and less government, would not have been pleased with a movement led by Republicans to raise taxes in a room that was meant to honor his legacy.

No one, myself included, argues the desperate need to maintain and fix our highway infrastructure, farm-to-market roads, and bridges on secondary roads. As someone who works in the agricultural sector, I know firsthand the frustration of having to make detours frequently on secondary roads because the bridges I need to cross are not safe to support the weight of my equipment.

I also understand what it means to get stuck in the spring mud on a “gravel” road with a loaded 30-foot

gooseneck trailer on behind and no way to turn around. However, raising the gas tax is not the best solution to fixing these two scenarios.

There are several reasons why I do not believe the gas tax hike is the best option. One of the major obstacles is the TIME-21 formula that the increased revenue would have to filter through.

With the gas tax increase, the heaviest burden would be borne by people in the smaller, more rural counties (what I call the “commuter counties”). While at the same time, the five most populous counties in the state (these are typically the same counties that the people in the “commuter counties” are commuting to) would receive an unfair amount of benefit from the proceeds of this hike.

There is also the issue of the funding not reaching our critical infrastructure needs in a timely fashion. If this gas tax hike were to pass, the full “benefit” of it would not be realized until at least four years from now.

Several alternate proposals have been offered in lieu of raising the gas tax. One such proposal in the Senate would take 2 percent from the General Fund and distribute it using the pre-TIME-21 formula, so that more money is funneled to our counties’ most critical needs.

I plan to introduce the companion to this bill in the Iowa House.

Another alternative would take a half-penny of sales tax and dedicate it to the highway infrastructure. Yet another proposal would legalize the sale of fireworks in the state and dedicate the new source of tax revenue to our roads and bridges.

The point is that these proposals would generate new funding streams for infrastructure without raising taxes and placing an even

heavier burden on hardworking Iowans. Unfortunately, these alternate proposals have not been given much consideration.

The Legislature is charged with the task of making tough budgeting decisions, just like any other Iowa family or business does in order to make ends meet. This is a time for addressing the steady, consistent, gradual growth of the state’s budget and government; and for doing what we can to alleviate the cost of the heavy burden which our bloated state bureaucracy places on the backs of Iowa taxpayers.

Raising the gas tax, little as it may seem, is like turning up the heat on the proverbial frog in the pan of water.

If you place a frog in a pan of boiling water, he will immediately jump out. But if you put that same frog in a pan of lukewarm water and steadily increase the temperature, he will adjust to the gradual change and become accustomed to it. By the time the frog realizes that he has been boiled alive, it’s too late.

This coming week on Friday, Feb. 7, I will be hosting town hall forums in Knoxville at Tasos’ Restaurant at 4 p.m. and at the Sully Community Center at 7 p.m.

Please feel free to contact me with your issues or concerns as they arise. You may do so either by phone at (515) 281-3221, e-mail at greg.heartsill@legis.iowa.gov or when visiting the Capitol. I appreciate and welcome your comments and feedback.

Also, if you would like to subscribe to my weekly e-newsletter, please send a quick note via email and I’ll put you on the list.

It is truly an honor to be your representative in the Iowa Legislature, one I do not take for granted.

Until next time, God bless.

Newton Manufacturing heard the food pantry was running low on select items and set a goal to donate 1,000 items to aid Jasper County families. Carter said the food pantry offers assistance to more than 450 families per month.

Iowa State Fair Board eyes no-cash system for food vendors, other attractions DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa State Fair Board is still discussing a way to eliminate cash sales at food vendors and other attractions.

The Des Moines Register reported the board has been discussing prepaid plastic cards similar to credit cards, even though no changes are

planned for this summer’s fair. Following a public outcry, officials announced Jan. 9 that they were scrapping plans for a cashless system

this summer that would have used tickets purchased online or at several sites on the fairgrounds.

Fair board member Jerry

Parkin said in a Jan. 8 email to county fair leaders that he hopes to offer a “credit-type card” that could be loaded with any amount.

FAMILY CIRCUS

Pregnant young wife needs to plan for future support DEAR ABBY: One of my childhood friends got married at a young age. She’s now expecting and due in a few months. Every day she messages me on Facebook about something else her husband has done to cause her emotional stress. For example, a few weeks ago she found flirtatious erotic messages he had exchanged with another girl.

I want to help her because we have been friends for so long. We’re both 19, and I feel I should know how to help her, but since I’ve never been married I don’t know what to say. Any advice? — FRIEND IN KENTUCKY DEAR FRIEND: What a sad situation. Your friend is married to someone who apparently doesn’t want to be married — and it’s open to question whether he will be much of a parent. If she has family, she should talk to them about this because she may need their help soon. She should also make plans for how she will support herself and the child, because her husband appears to be a flake.

Please pass this advice along. And let this be a lesson to you about the importance of achieving independence before assuming the responsibility of parenthood.

DEAR ABBY: My mother is in her mid-90s. Several of her lifelong friends, widows, still live in their own homes, as she does. However, they no longer drive.

A phone call would help them communicate directly with each other about life situations, but it doesn’t seem to happen. Instead of calling and talking to each other, they hear about each other third-hand.

Is it typical for the elderly to abandon each other and be so cruel? If so, what could help people communicate better regardless of age? — CONCERNED SON IN COLORADO DEAR SON: Not everyone in their 90s ages the same way. Some individu-

als are still active; others are less so.

When seniors stop driving, there can be a tendency for them to become isolated and depressed. Others may be taking medications that affect their memory.

A way to help people in your mother’s age group would be to see that they have transportation to a senior center, where they can mingle face-to-face if they wish. I recommend this for your mother and her friends because I’m sure none of them are being deliberately cruel.

DEAR ABBY: I am an addict of Turner Classic Movies and wondered how those handsome actors and beautiful actresses control their libido during passionate love scenes. Or is there more to it than appears? — FILM BUFF IN ENCINITAS, CALIF. DEAR FILM BUFF: Generally speaking, what an audience sees on the screen isn’t an amorous encounter. Every gesture has been carefully choreographed. There may be a lot more acting than passion involved. (That’s why it’s called acting.) Remember, there is a director and there can be a crew of as many as 30 people standing around. Of course, there are always exceptions — Liz Taylor and Richard Burton would be one of them, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would be another.

Dinner Continued from Page 8A The city is in the process of receiving information on many incentives, including the Buxton Retail Analysis.

“Following the comprehensive plan, the commitment to retail expansion, both existing and new business, began with a major investment by the city [with the Buxton Report],” Hansen said. “This investment, along with securing the position of a new development specialist, will better position the city to compete in this competitive economic arena. The analysis is coming to completion, and staffing is being considered for this major step forward.”

Hansen closed his speech recognizing the city council and city staff members as well as giving a message of hope for the city and business leadership in attendance.

“We value our partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and are proud of our accomplishments in 2013, but boy oh boy, how excited we are about 2014 and 2015 as we move our community forward,” Hansen said. “We look forward to working with the Chamber, all of you and our community to make these things happen.”

NDC Frank Liebl introduced two new companies that have came to Newton in 2013 and early 2014: Avalanche Composites and Pa-

Page 7A

triot Converting. Liebl also expressed excitement for the addition of Health Enterprises to Newton in March.

The new business will be on the first floor of the Maytag Campus.

Liebl talked about the NDC 2013, when they recognized and learned more about three companies in Newton.

“We learned how Newton Clinic began in the old Maytag Hotel started downtown,” Liebl said. “Vernon Company is one of 30 US Business in its fourth generation of ownership in its industry and location. Over 40 employees have 25-plus years service with the company. Hawkeye Stages remodeled and consolidated there Marshalltown and Des Moines depots to the Newton location.”

Liebl’s presentation had an individual slide that laid the foundation of what’s ahead for Newton.

“It started with the CHAT Housing Study followed by the comprehensive plan, housing initiative, Buxton Retail Study, branding, the Iowa Main Street application and making the downtown a historic district,” Liebl said. “These are the building blocks that will give us the foundation of moving Newton forward in the next couple of months.”

Liebl gave his appreciation, as many of the presenters did, emphasizing these building blocks wouldn’t be possible without the community.

“I know many of you in this room have had a part in one or more of these building blocks, and for that I say thank you for your participation. So the foundation has been laid. Now the real work begins. We have room for you because together we, and only we, can make Newton what we want it to be,” Liebl said.

The “Key” Award was given to the Young Professionals of Jasper County for Thanks with Franks. The award was determined by an individual or group exceptional work on a specific community project within the last year.

“They have taken an event that has been going on for quite awhile and, in the past few years, have made it grow by leaps and bounds,” Sarmento said. “It’s one of the signature events on the town square.”

The Community Service Award was given to Newton Manufacturing employee Toni Peska. The award is given for an individual’s long term involvement in community betterment projects through activities such as church, civic, community service or political organization and his or her given profession “She has served on the United Way Board as well as being instrumental in Red Pride Community Service Day,” Sarmento said. “She is very involved with Jasper County Animal Rescue League. Just recently, her and

her husband rescued a couple of dogs. They have been taking care them at their house.

Peska wanted to show her appreciation but also challenge the community of Newton.

“These things just didn’t happen with one person. That is pretty obvious,” Peska said.

“Whether it’s my co-workers at Newton Manufacturing, my husband or kids, many of you in this room, or anyone else, it takes a community, and that’s what really what we all have in common, which is why we’re here tonight. Because were passionate and in love with the community of Newton.

“I ask for you to look around you, look at the people seated across from you, look at the people across the room and look at the guests here in the room. When you look at all this talent and look at all this passion, there’s absolutely no limit on the number of positive things that can happen in this community.”

Long, now past chair of the Chamber, gave a review of the past year.

“Our board had three goals this year. One was to apply for Iowa Main Street, and we got that done. On Feb. 6, we will find out what happened. The second one was to make the facilities at the Chamber office a little better, and we got that done. The last goal was to have a growing Chamber membership, which we didn’t complete, but that gives the

current board a goal to start with.”

After Long’s review, he presented Sue Nolin as the new Chamber board chair.

Nolin presented her message to the community to remind them to remain involved, as this year was simply a planning year and there is much work left to do.

“Please make every effort to stay informed and get involved in the coming year,” Nolin said. “Do you know another business in town that is not a Chamber member?

Well, give them a nudge and encourage them to get involved. The more businesses we have involved the more we can do. There will be many challenges ahead and will require a continued commitment and involvement, but the future is definitely bright for Newton as we all work together.”

During the renovations at the Chamber office, many old documents and minutes were found. Nolin wanted to emphasize how someone may look back on us in the future.

“Twenty years from now when our children find documents or board minutes in the chamber archives, let the record show swe tepped up to face the challenges of our day and paved the way for the future they will enjoy,” she said.

Muscatine County won’t release information on stun gun incident DES MOINES (AP) — Muscatine County officials are refusing to release the medical records of a woman who was shocked with a stun gun four times last fall as officers tried to get her to change clothing.

The woman, Marie Franks, has asked officials to release the records to the Des Moines Register, but so far officials have refused.

Video of the incident shows Franks cursing at jail staff and swinging her arms apparently to keep jail staff away. She

was shocked four times in eight minutes during the Oct. 7 incident. Muscatine County officials have said no laws were broken and jail policies were followed.

Franks, 58, suffers from bipolar disorder and was off her medication at the time. The records should show what medication she was given in jail. County officials have said Franks refused to take medication jail officials offered her.

Franks was initially jailed for repeatedly calling 911 but refusing to talk to dispatchers, but she was charged with

assaulting an officer on Oct. 4 while she was in jail.

Franks has submitted two different notarized requests for the records since November.

Muscatine County Attorney Alan Ostergren has offered technical reasons for rejecting the records requests. He said the first request was flawed because it included the signature of Franks’ father, Ken Beeding, and suggested he was acting as his daughter’s legal representative.

The second request was rejected because

Community, business leaders excited for future of Newton

By Zach Johnson Daily News Staff Writer At the end of the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner last year, Chamber Board of Directors Chair Steve Long had blank puzzle pieces placed at every seat taken during the dinner. Long pointed out 2013 was going to be the year in which the crowd would decide what those puzzle pieces were going to be.

“I think you have heard what has been happening, so I am excited,” Long said. “My family and I have been proud residents of Newton for about four years.

In those four years we have seen amazing things happen. We have seen the normal avid flow of business, but we have also seen a trajectory that is very positive.

We have seen a community that has transcended this idea of resilience and has gone to an idea of hopefulness. I think that is amazing to see.”

A year later, at this year’s annual dinner, Long reported on how the community has designed the puzzle pieces and said this year was going to be about putting the puzzle pieces together.

“We have seen wishes for the future replaced by faith in the things we’re doing will actually have an impact. I am excited to be here. Over the last year, I have been thrilled really to be the chair for the Chamber of Commerce here in Newton and work with our exceptional (Chamber) Executive Director Darrell Sarmento,” Long said. “I had the opportunity to witness firsthand many of the things that have happened and many of the things that

were planned and talked about tonight, which was fun to watch.”

Thursday night, a record number of business and community leaders were in attendance to celebrate the accomplishments of 2013 and to learn more about what was to come in the new year.

“It was an encouraging evening. We were very pleased with our largest ever,” Sarmento said. “I think that is a good sign that a lot of people are getting engaged, realizing if we all work together, we can make good things happen for the City of Newton.”

The annual dinner program was reformatted because the Chamber wanted to have more of an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and what is to come for the new year.

“The new format went well,” Sarmento said. “When you look at the program as a whole, with all the information and updates people went home with. These things not only effect this next year, 2014, but really the next three to five years for our city.

Everything we talked about last night will be gradually implemented and worked on for the coming years. In many ways, it has laid out our marching orders for the next few years of what were going to be focusing on as a city.”

One of the big plans for the dinner was to celebrate the news of Main Street, but on Monday the public was told the official announcement would be made by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad in a special presentation on Feb. 6.

“We will hear the Main Street announce-

ment on Feb. 6, and once we officially know if were a Main Street Community, that’s a process which takes several years in terms of really revitalizing our downtown,” Sarmento said. “We have a lot of work ahead, but it was a great evening as well as an inspiring evening.”

The city gave a plug for the branding, reminding everyone that they should be in attendance for the community rally on Feb. 11.

“I think it’s encouraging. You know the city has needed a new logo and just to freshen up how we promote ourselves through out the Central Iowa region,” Sarmento said. “I think people realize we have a lot to be proud of. I mean, any town does, and Newton certainly does. We need to know how to tell our story with tools, videos, brochures and pictures to show why Newton has to be proud.”

The city also gave a sneak peek into the new branding video, which will be presented in full length at the rally.

“It was nice to see that little snippet of the video, as I haven’t even had a chance to see the whole video,” Sarmento said. “There will be more to come. Feb. 11 is just the beginning to improving the efforts we need to make to tell our story.”

Sarmento also announced the Chamber update its logo and website in the new year as well.

“We are going to freshen up our logo,” Sarmento said. “Our logo is over 10 years old, so were going to let the city start the process. We will also freshen up our website as well. It will happen come the next two or three months.”

The dinner featured several informative presentations, with the crowd reacting espeically positively to the presentation by Newton Development Corporation Executive Director Frank Liebl.

“There was one slide that Frank Liebl showed building blocks on all these different efforts, with the Community Housing Assessment Team Housing Study, Newton Comprehensive Plan, the re-branding, Iowa Main Street Application process, the Newton Housing Initiative and the Buxton Retail Analysis Report,” Sarmento said. “All these things are happening simultaneously.

Not one of these in isolation is going to make the huge difference for the City of Newton. It’s all of these things working together at the same time that’s going to take us forward in the three to five years. I think five years from now, we’re going to look back and

say it has been quite a season.”

Before the dinner began, the Employee Relations Committee gave the recommendation to the Newton City Council on adding the position of development specialist to the city budget. The position was shown to be a key component in the future plans in 2014.

“I think the city knows that for good things to happen, good leadership has to be in place,” Sarmento said.

“In the same way, the Chamber stepped up and played a key role in getting Main Street. It will continue to play a key role in the implementation of Main Street. All of these other initiatives need good leadership to make sure it’s executed successfully. I applaud the committee in giving their recommendation of the posi­tion for it to move forward.”

Jay Beyers of the Greater Des Moines Partnership gave a special greeting speaking on how the City of Newton and other communities make the partnership successful.

“I think one of our key challenges as a community is to find out how we can tap into some of the national attention the greater Des Moines are and bring some of that to Newton,” Sarmento said. “The Greater Des Moines Partnership has launched a new website offering many ways for businesses to find out about Newton.”

Mayor Mike Hansen gave an update on what the city has accomplished in the past

year and the beginning of 2014.

“The year of 2013 was about planning and preparing,” Hansen said. “Citizens groups and city staff following the direction of the city council worked diligently to plan for the implementation of our comprehensive plan.”

Hansen gave an update on the investments made by the city council after the first session of budget hearings by the council.

“Supported by city council funding, plans have been made for a major marketing effort to better tell our story about the many great assets we have in our community,” Hansen said.

“Pads have been poured for the installation of sculptures along First Avenue. The bids our out for improvements of the First Avenue overpass, along with our new way-finding signs around the community.”

The council has passed many new reports and incentives studies throughout 2013. The implementation of the reports and incentives is set to begin this year.

“In concert with several different groups, an expansive housing initiative costing $3.7 million will address the existing housing needs and build momentum for new housing starts,” Hansen said. “The plan addresses dangerous and dilapidated buildings and provides for infrastructure and individual incentives necessary to encourage new housing development.”

Cardinals capture four LHC weight division championships

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor NORWALK — Four out of five is not bad.

Newton’s Cardinals walked out of Norwalk High School’s gym with four Little Hawkeye Conference individual weight class wrestling champions Saturday. The Cardinals had five wrestlers in championship matches at the 2014 LHC tournament.

Senior Koby Hull won his second straight Little Hawkeye Conference wrestling championship at 106 pounds.

Sophomore Hunter Versteegh claimed the 113-pound championship while seniors Ray Schroder and Joey Wright, became conference champions at 195 pounds and 285 pounds, respectively.

Junior Dakota Dawson had the heartbreaker in the finals.

Newton had a strong conference tournament. The Cardinals led the tournament for awhile during the day, but settled into fourth place, two points out of third, in the final standings.

Conference newcomer Dallas Center-Grimes is the 2014 team champion with 204.5 points. Grinnell, last year’s team champion, was second at 190 points. Norwalk scored 184 points for third with Newton in fourth at 182. Knoxville was fifth at 164 followed by Oskaloosa with 122 points and Pella with 84 points.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Hannah Rhoads (32) puts up a shot in a recent home game. On Friday, Rhoads and the Cardinals had a tough go of it on the road at Knoxville, losing 49-38.

Cardinal girls stumble against Panthers

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor KNOXVILLE — It was a game of hard knocks for Newton’s Cardinals.

Foul trouble, not much rebounding at either end, turnovers, and of course, Knoxville’s Panthers playing well from start to finish.

The Panthers avenged a 60-47 loss at Newton in December with a 49-

38 win Friday night in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

“We just didn’t come to play, especially defensively,” said Brandon Sharp, Newton head coach. “We were a step slow and a step behind all night.”

The game wasn’t as close as the final score indicates. After a 3-pointer by Hannah Rhoads put the Cardinals within seven, 26-19, at halftime, the

Cardinals could not get things in gear in the second half.

Knoxville outscored Newton 15-4 in the third period. The Panthers went into the fourth quarter up 41-23. Even though the Cardinals had a 15-8 scoring edge in the final eight minutes, they didn’t challenge the Panthers’ lead.

Seahawks blow out Broncos in Super Bowl EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Defense wins championships, and the NFL has not seen a defense like Seattle’s in a long time.

The Seahawks won their first Super Bowl title Sunday night in overpowering fashion, punishing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8. That relentless defense, the NFL’s stingiest, never let the five-time MVP get going, disarming the highest-scoring offense in league history.

Seattle (16-3) was too quick, too physical and just too good for Denver, and that was true in all areas. What was hyped as a classic matchup between an unstoppable offense and a miserly defense turned into a rout.

Punctuating Seattle’s dominance were a 69-yard interception return touchdown by linebacker Malcolm Smith to make it 22-0, and Percy Harvin’s sensational 87-yard kickoff runback to open the second half.

When the Seahawks, up by 29 points, forced a Denver punt early in the third quarter, the 12th Man — and there were legions of them in

MetLife Stadium — began chanting “L-O-B, L-O-B.” As in Legion of Boom, the Seahawks hard-hitting secondary.

The loss by the Broncos again raised questions about Manning’s ability to win the biggest games. He is 11-12 in the postseason, 1-2 in Super Bowls. He never looked comfortable against a defense some will begin comparing to the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens — other NFL champions who had runaway Super Bowl victories.

Seattle forced four turnovers; Denver had 26 all season.

The Seahawks looked comfortable and at ease, and not just their defense.

Russell Wilson, who has an NFLrecord 28 wins in his first two pro seasons, including playoffs, had a 23yard TD pass to Jermaine Kearse late in the third quarter to make it 36-0.

Wilson also hit Doug Baldwin for a 10-yard score in the final period in what had become one of the most lopsided Super Bowls.

Cardinals’ firepower too much for Panthers to handle

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton freshman Conner Gholson (40) gets fouled during a recent home game. Gholson knocked down three 3-pointers on his way to 15 points Friday in Newton’s 81-68 win over host Knoxville.

KNOXVILLE — Coast-to-coast went senior guard Chandler Sturtz to tie the game at 19-19 in the second quarter Friday night.

Sturtz and his Newton teammates continued to attack the basket and score against host Knoxville.

The Cardinals scored in ones, twos and threes throughout the game, winning 81-68. The Panthers were maintaining pace with the Cardinals, hitting 12 3-pointers on the night.

It was anybody’s game until there was five minutes remaining in the contest. Newton led 62-60 when junior guard Tyler Wood com-

pleted a three-point play for the Cardinals. Connor Gholson, a freshman, nailed a 3-pointer to push the Newton advantage to eight points.

“I think we did a great job attacking the basket and giving our best free throw shooters opportunities to step up and knock them down and they are doing it,” said Nick Wilkins, Newton head coach.

Newton shot 55 percent, 26-of-47, from the field overall. The Cardinals were 9-of-17 from 3-point range. They cashed in on 20-of-27 free throw attempts, 74 percent.

Knoxville ran out of gas as its offense sputter down the stretch.

The Cardinals continued their assault on the

basket. In that final five minutes, Newton rolled on a 19-8 surge to victory.

Newton pushed its Little Hawkeye Conference mark to 6-4. The Cardinals moved to 7-8 overall.

The Cardinals take a three-game winning streak into Tuesday’s LHC game at Dallas Center-Grimes.

The Class 3A fourth-ranked Mustangs (14-2) are tied for first in the conference with Grinnell at 9-1, which is Newton’s next opponent at home this Friday.

“This is a big week for us going to DCG on Tuesday and then hosting Grinnell on Friday.

We will come up with a game plan this weekend, put it in place on

Monday and hope we can execute on Tuesday,” Wilkins said. “We are playing some great team basketball right now and we look forward to riding this momentum the rest of the season.”

Sturtz opened the game with a 3-pointer and the Cardinals were up 12-3. Back came the Panthers to close the gap to 15-13 by the end of the first quarter.

Luke Smith’s bank shot of a three put the Panthers up 16-15 to begin the second period.

Sturtz, who led all scorers with 25 points, sank two free throws and the back-and-forth action began.

Hawk boys fall by one; girls win big

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor SULLY — In a South Iowa Cedar League showdown Friday night, Lynnville-Sully’s Hawk boys were after their eighth straight win. Standing in the way were Montezuma’s Braves, who came in determined to avenge a loss to the Hawks on their home court in December.

It was close the entire way with Lynnville-Sully leading 28-24 at halftime.

The Hawks were up 40-32 after three quarters, but the Braves outscored them 20-13 in the final eight minutes. The Braves edged the Hawks, 53-52.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls had little trouble in a 60-27 win over Montezuma.

The Hawk girls, ranked fifth in Class 1A, led 40-14 at halftime.

Lynnville-Sully’s teams host North Mahaska Tuesday.

For the Hawk boys, T.J. Cunningham poured in 17 points, grabbed seven rebounds and made two steals. Ben Trettin added 14 points. Jake Brand dished out three assists and Darin Hofer controlled 10 rebounds.

“It was a tough loss for us,” said Nick Harthoorn, L-S boys’ head coach. “We needed to do a few little things better to come out on top. We must do a better job of taking care of the basketball and rebounding.”

Montezuma had one player reach

double-digit scoring. Brody McKeag scored 16 points. Seven other players scored three or more points to boost the Braves to the win.

Lysandra James poured in 23 points and grabbed 15 rebounds for the Hawk girls. Lyndsay Terpstra added 11 points and Cassie Cullen had 10 points.

Jade Van Rees had five assists and Cullen made three steals.

This was a great effort by the girls.

They set the tone for the whole game on the defensive end not letting Montezuma get into their offense,” said Jerry Hulsing, L-S girls’ head coach. “We rebounded the basketball well tonight and that let us get out and run the floor getting open looks at the basket. This is the best all around game the we have played all season.”

The Braves got seven points each from Mackenzie James and Courtney Petersen.

Newton hosts a Class 3A district wrestling tournament Feb. 15.

Sophomore Alex Bentley placed fourth at 126 pounds for the Cardinals. Claiming fifth places were sophomores Cole Peters and Jordan Henning in the 120-pound and 182-pound brackets, respectively, and freshman Caden Manning at 220. Senior Earl Kimmel was sixth in the 160-pound division. Freshman Justice Borger did not place in the 145-pound class.

Hull faced Drew Sams of Oskaloosa in the championship match. Sams had upended Hull at home earlier this season. The two were tied at 5-5 in Saturday’s match going into the third period.

Sams grabbed a 6-5 lead, but Hull took control late in the match. He scored five unanswered points to win 10-6 to become a two-time Little Hawkeye Conference champion at 106.

“I was ready to go today. I held him on his back the last 45 seconds to get the near fall,” Hull said. “I’m pretty

Versteegh made quick work of Tyler Hirl of Norwalk in the 113-pound title match. Versteegh had pinned his other two opponents on the day as he advanced to the championship. He turned Hirl and recorded the winning fall at the 1:07 mark.

Schroder had taken second at 195-pounds a year ago at the conference meet. Not his senior season. Schroder went into the tournament as the

Newton’s final regular-season match up is this Saturday at Val Lanes in Des Moines against Knoxville and host Norwalk.

“This will be a great match to have before the regional tournament. We’ll be going against our rivals Knoxville and Norwalk,” said Newton bowling coach Seth Banwell.

Knoxville, Norwalk, Oskaloosa, Pella Christian, Des Moines Hoover and Clarke of Osceola come to Newton Feb. 18 for a Class 1A regional bowling tournament. Qualifiers advance to the state tournament Feb. 24 in Des Moines.

“While the scores were not very high this week, I’m sill very proud of the bowlers on their wins,” Banwell said.

Pella Christian teams beat Oskaloosa

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor PELLA — Being home did the the trick for the Pella Christian Eagle basketball teams Friday. The PC boys broke a five-game losing streak and the girls halted a four-game skid.

The Eagle girls defeated visiting Oskaloosa 46-33, using a 14-2 surge in the fourth quarter. Tessa Howerzyl scored 11 points and had four assists for the Eagles.

Hannah Beltman blocked eight Indian shots. She also scored eight points, controlled 15 rebounds and had four steals for the Eagles. Lauren Jungling had 10 rebounds and scored nine points.

Marina Shannon and Brooke Mitrisin each added eight points for Pella Christian. Autumn Vos scored two points.

Oskaloosa was led by Alex-

is Westercamp’s 11 points.

Pella Christian’s boys dominated the Oskaloosa Indians, 77-46. The Indians stayed close early, trailing 18-15 at the end of one quarter. The Eagles pulled away on a 17-8 run in the second period.

Coltin Collins paced the Eagles with 24 points, going 12-of-14 from the field. He also had six rebounds and five the team’s 23 assists.

Nate Haveman chipped in with 12 points while Levi Jungling and Sebastian Baugh each had 10 points. Brant Vermeer dished out four assists.

Josh Posthuma scored eight points for the Eagles while Jared Van Wyk had six and Vermeer scored three points.

Scoring two points each were Nathan Vande Voort and David Kacmarynski.

The Eagles host Pella in Little Hawkeye Conference play Tuesday.

No. 1 seed in his weight division and proved his deserved it.

In the semifinals, Schroder posted an 11-4 win over Travis Poffenbarger of Knoxville. Taking on Jared Keenan of Grinnell in the 195-pound championship match, Schroder had the first takedown of the contest and stayed in control for a 7-3 win.

“This is one of the goals I’ve been working for all season. I was really aggressive all day on the mat. I stayed

low and aggressive in the title match and got a few takedowns,” Schroder said.

Wright, who had been sidelined with a medical situation, returned to the mat the past couple of weeks for the Cardinals. He moved into the 285-pound weight class and in came out as a Little Hawkeye Conference champion.

Wright recorded two wins by pins in the quarterfinals and semifinals Saturday. That set up a match for the championship with Trystan Minnis of Norwalk. Wright built up an 8-4 lead through two periods. A reversal to start the third put Wright in front 10-4 on his way to a 10-7 win and the title.

Boys: Newton wins third game in a row Continued from Page 1B Jwan Roush’s trey put the Cardinals up 28-25. Sturtz drained a 3-pointer giving Newton a four-point lead but Knoxville’s Trent Davis hit a three to make it 31-30 at halftime.

Newton trailed by two with five minutes left in the third quarter. Joseph Banfield got inside for a basket, tying it at 37-all.

It was three-point play by Devin Shores which put the Cardinals back on top 4240 followed by a Gholson 3-pointer.

The Panthers kept firing from long range — they put up 36 3-pointers in the game. Their last lead of the contest was 51-49 on a three

by Garrett Davis.

Wilkins said Knoxville shooting over 30 3-pointers was a combination of Newton’s strategy of inside-out defense, where the Cardinals protected the paint area by

stopping dribble-penetration and doubling the post and “also the fact that they got really hot from 3, particularly in the third quarter, where I believe they hit six of their 12.”

Wood netted a 3-pointer giving the lead back to Newton then Sturtz scored in transition and downed two free throws. Newton led 56-51 going into the fourth quarter.

“Hitting 12 3-pointers is a big reason we gave up 68 points, but also because we attacked the full-court press they ran all game giving us a lot of good early looks from three-point range and at the basket which in turn gave them more possessions,” Wilkins said.

Sturtz picked up his fourth foul with 5:30 remaining in the game, and sat out for three minutes.

Newton didn’t allow Knoxville take advantage of that situation. The Cardinals

kept their offensive pressure on and pulled away.

Wood had 16 points, hiiting 6-of-7 at the free-throw line, plus had nine rebounds and seven assists. Gholson came off the bench, hitting three 3-pointers, for 15 points overall. Daquan Allen grabbed seven rebounds and Easley dished out four assists.

Garrett Davis and Zoutte each had four 3-pointers for the Panthers. Garrett Davis had 20 points for the game and Zoutte finished with 12 points.

Girls: Cardinals regroup for a big week in LHC Continued from Page 1B Newton will have to discard Friday’s game quickly.

The Cardinals have to focus on taking on Class 4A’s eighth-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes’ Fillies Tuesday.

The Fillies lead the Little Hawkeye Conference at 10-0 and 15-2.

The Cardinals pushed the Fillies to the brink at home Jan. 7, losing 44-41. Newton, which is 5-5 in conference and 5-12 overall travels to Grimes to challenge the Fillies again.

“I have confidence in our team to learn from this game and move forward,” Sharp said. “We didn’t play hard until the fourth quarter, which is unusual for our players. Everything that went wrong Friday night can be corrected by our kids.”

Newton fell behind quickly Friday against the Panthers. They were down 11-4 when Rhoads hit a 3-pointer.

Newton trailed 13-8 after one period.

Lizzie Stock downed two free throws to open the second quarter for the Cardinals. Knoxville responded with six unanswered points.

Stock drilled a 3-pointer to make it 19-13.

Foul trouble began hitting the Cardinals hard.

Michaela Jacobsen picked up her third foul with less than three minutes left in the first half and she went to the NHS bench. Shelby Gray had three fouls before the end of the half. Gray had her fourth foul early in the third quarter and Jacobsen was back on the bench at the 2:50 mark.

Newton had no answer for the inside play of Ricki Hall for Knoxville. Hall finished 17 points as did Meredith Cunningham. The Panthers clamped down defensively on the Cardinals the whole game. They kept Newton to one shot a possession most of the night.

“Win or lose, we remind each other that what is done is done. Our girls will get

back to work and come out with great effort. We’ve been playing pretty good basketball right now,” Sharp said.

Rhoads led the Cardinals with seven points and five rebounds. Sarah Kalkhoff claimed nine rebounds for Newton. Stock added six points. The Cardinals shot 30 percent, 12-of-40, from the field and hit 10-of-21 from the free-throw line.

Alex Hutchinson had three assists.

The Aries warrior moon is angry and picking fights. Is there something in you that wants to fight, too? Maybe you’re angry with a loved one or disappointed in something inside yourself on which you depend.

Well, it can be worked out, all of it. Everything is a short-term situation, and with the right attitude, you’ll work it out sooner or later and probably sooner.

colorful, but because if you catch it, it will seem like it was meant exclusively for you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 3). You’ll celebrate the gifts you were born with. You are talented in ways you haven’t explored yet. You’ll stretch to accommodate a friend in March, and by doing so, you’ll also extend your own influence. April brings new family, and it will be important to show up strong at the events that celebrate your kin. Pisces and Cancer people adore you. Lucky numbers are: 3, 45, 16, 29 and 5.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your key people may be clueless about your work. If your job is very demanding, this ignorance will be a problem. Increased sharing will bring understanding and a better relationship dynamic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Many sunsets have passed without your adulation. Today’s is the best of the month, and not because it’s spectacularly bright or

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t aim for your goal, because right now doing this will lead to less than optimum results. Instead, aim far beyond your target. Given the current conditions, you’ll land in a place most pleasing.

assets you’ll find in the people and circumstances today brings.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today will be like a pixel: bright, uniquely colored and interesting in its own right. When combined with the other related pixels, the bigger picture will be something much greater than the sum of its parts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Those who think it only counts if you like the one who likes you are thinking too small. Time has a way of changing people’s minds or bringing awareness where there was none.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Presentations are like steaks. Whether rare or well-done, they are best received when fitted to the order. Know your audience and anticipate their sensibilities and preferences.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). If you choose to go out on a limb, your friends won’t approve — in fact, they may object. But if you have good reasons for trying to do something beyond your known powers, you won’t mind too much what they think.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you’re looking for faults, you’ll find them.

Yet, what’s more miraculous are the many vibrant

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your genuine expression will move others. You can’t predict how, though. The attention you pay to loved

ones may not be received in the way you expect, but it’s important that you give according to your true feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be like water, benefiting all. Sometimes you provide this benefit by coming from a high place and raining down your wisdom, and sometimes you support from a quiet and low place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’re already leaning in a particular direction, so you may as well decide now. Hesitating will only make the others involved less excited about your alliance. Go forward in good will.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Good news for those who have been stalled: The high stakes will have you moving briskly along. Note that a negative consequence is often a more powerful motivation than a wonderful reward.
