An Ankeny man died as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle crash Sunday morning on Iowa Highway 330 northwest of Baxter.

According to the Iowa State Patrol, Craig Alan Dilley, 48, of Ankeny was traveling southbound on Highway 330 at the 5-mile marker when the 2006 Volvo XC7 sportutility vehicle he was driving entered the ditch and struck a rock creek bed. The 5-mile marker on Highway 330 is located less than a half-mile south of the Jasper-Story-Marshall county line.

Dilley’s vehicle sustained heavy front-end damage, causing him to become trapped inside. Mechanical extracation equipment was used to get Dilley out of the vehicle. He was then airlifted by LifeFlight to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines, where he later died.

Letter to the Editor

Salvation Army thankful for community’s support To the editor: Thanks to generous support from the Jasper County community, The Salvation Army reached its Christmas fundraising goal. Representing 25-percent of The Salvation Army’s fiscal year budgeted income, the funds

raised at Christmastime through the red kettles, checks sent in the mail, and other donations will help The Salvation Army continue to meet needs in Jasper County in the days ahead.

We are thankful for the many individuals and groups who contributed

and showed with their gifts and concern that sharing is caring. On behalf of those whose lives show that “need has no season” we thank the Jasper County community for helping to fund assistance programs at The Salvation Army.

The generosity shown to The Salva-

tion Army has warmed our hearts and has helped individuals and families in crisis.

Thank you.

Usual Eccentric

You never get a 12th chance to make a first impression I am pretty terrible at making a first impression.

Realistically, I am terrible at making a twelfth impression, but that’s beside the point.

In the history of worst first impressions I generally rank somewhere in between Benito Mussolini, Crystal Pepsi and the Segway. Hannibal Lecter accidentally stumbling into an American Vegetarian Association meeting still isn’t as bad as a first impression that I usually end up executing.

By Will E Sanders Making a stellar first imCreators Syndicate pression is a critical characteristic to posses when one lives next to a rental property like I do.

I’ve seen renters come and I’ve seen renters go. In their wake I have managed to leave behind a jarring series of embarrassing first impressions that would leave even Kim Jong-un envious — before he would strip you naked and feed you to starved hunting dogs that is.

So it stands to reason the relationships I have forged with neighbors in the past have been somewhere between astoundingly atrocious to outra-

geously awful — and that is putting it mildly.

I mostly blame my inability to make a good first impression for this.

Either that or it is my chronic anti-social behavior and my desire to be naturally mistrustful of outsiders that is to blame. It is one or the other that much I know for sure.

Loving thy neighbor might have been the par for the course in the Beaver Cleaver days of yore, but society has changed since then. Loving thy neighbor is optional and subject to a thorough social media background check.

My mentality on the matter at hand is to secretly observe new neighbors through the blinds. Then, after carefully considering whether or not it is worth the trouble of getting to know them, properly introducing myself as a member of polite society.

As a result it usually takes me a couple of months before I bother bidding a new neighbor with a kind wave hello or a general nod in recognition of mutual coexistence.

Or sometimes none of the above. Don’t believe me?

Two neighbors back, my first impression involved a call to 911 concerning my brand-new neighbor.

I was sitting on the couch when I noticed a man

clutching a large butcher knife walking up to my neighbor’s porch and he began frantically banging on the front door.

I try not to be a super nosy neighbor, but I tend to pick up on those sorts of observations if for no other reason than self-preservation.

My neighbor after that was a woman who kept weird hours. I think a whole year went by before I even considered introducing myself to her. What would I say to her anyway after such a long passage of time?

Then one day I had to introduce myself to her because my large maple tree fell over and nearly squashed her car.

Let’s just say it was a terrible first impression I left that day and leave it at that.

A year later my other large maple tree tumbled over, nearly crashed on her house, and caused a considerable amount of property damage. Again, let’s just say it was a terrible second (and last) impression and leave it at that.

Hoping to learn from the past I aspire to soon properly acquaint myself with my new neighbors before too much time passes. I just hope the first impression that I leave with them proves better than it has in the past.

Honest lying for beginners To be honest, anyone who starts a sentence with the words, “to be honest,” probably isn’t.

Say what?

It’s true. Starting sentences with expressions like “to be honest” or “to tell the truth” actually indicates that you are not at all going to be honBy Bob Goldman est and not even Creators Syndicate coming close to telling the truth, and you know it. That’s why your sneaky little unconscious brain used the verbal “tee-up” phrase in the first place.

I discovered this hot linguistic news flash in an Elizabeth Bernstein article in The Wall Street Journal. In her story, “Why Verbal Tee-Ups Like ‘To Be Honest’ Often Signal Insincerity,” Bernstein turns to the academic community to reveal the downright dishonesty lurking in these common phrases. (Of course, the academic community has a $2 word for such expressions. They’re called “performatives.”)

Dan Goetz Publisher Mandi Lamb Associate Editor

According to James W. Pennebaker, chair of the psychology department at the University of Texas, Austin, performatives may seem harmless, formal, maybe even polite. That’s the problem.

“Politeness is another word for deception,” Pennebaker explains. “The point is to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self.”

Once you discover that our world is full of performatives, you’ll be amazed at how many times a day you hear — or say — “I want you to know” or “I’m just saying” or “I hate to be the one to tell you this.”

At the very least, these tepid teeups give us time to consider what we’re going to say. We need a beat to figure out how to put the best spin on what is going to be a particularly nasty spitball, or to convince ourselves that it’s perfectly OK to tell a co-worker that her breath smells like a broken sewer main, because we “hate to be the one to tell you this.”

Naturally, we go right ahead with the slam, because, after all, we’re not just mean or just evil or just sadistic.

“We’re just saying.”

Opinions expressed in letters and columns are those of the writers and do not represent the views of the Newton Daily News.

Schow, a 30-something fitness consultant in Alpine, Utah, interviewed by reporter Bernstein. Arriving at one of Schow’s yoga classes, a friend delivered a whispered message that started with the dangerous phrase, “I’m only telling this because I love you.”

Following this declaration of yoga solidarity and affection, the friend lovingly “pointed out that lumps were showing beneath Ms. Schow’s yoga clothes and said people laughed at her behind her back.”

As someone whose lumps are visible under a stadium blanket, you will surely understand Schow’s reaction to this declaration of love, which, by the way, was followed up with an offer to provide the name of a plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction.

You and I are used to people laughing behind our backs, but Schow felt like she was “hit in the stomach with a cannonball,” and realized that her helpful friend wasn’t really being helpful, or, for that matter, a friend. (I don’t want to diminish Schow’s pain, but it strikes me that being “hit in the stomach with a cannonball” might be an excellent way to explain that giant glob of adipose hanging over your belt. Just saying.)

While the thrust of Bernstein’s article is to make us more forthright in our communications, I think there is another lesson here for me and thee.

Especially thee.

Being so excellent at everything you do, you likely find quite a lot of occasions in your life where it is necessary for you to criticize a co-worker, a friend or a spouse. As you have probably noticed, these helpful critiques do not always result in the expected response — a heartfelt “thank you for pointing out my weaknesses. I’ll endeavor to do better in the future.”

What you need, my perfect friend, are a few powerful performatives. One of my favorites is “I want to say.” As in, “I want to say that you are excellent at your job” or “I want to say that replacing my Barcalounger with a $7,000 dollar Italian sofa is an excellent idea.”

Yes, you want to say it, but, of course, you can’t, because your coworker totally stinks at his job, and the only way anyone is going to remove your Barcalounger is over your dead body, but you’ve smoothed over the waters well in advance, and now, no one could ever get mad, or hurt, or hurl a frying pan at you.

Hey, I’m only being honest here.

Courts Continued from Page 1A Chelsea Jo Miller, 26, had been charged in July of 2012 after a six-month investigation found her son, Kaiden, had died as a result of injuries sustained while in his father’s care. Miller testified last month in the trial of the child’s father, Joseph Olea, who was convicted of causing the child’s death.

Miller and Olea had lived together in an apartment in Newton at the time of their son’s death. During testimony in the Olea trial, she said she

had been at work at Wells Fargo in West Des Moines and called Olea repeatedly throughout the day the child was rushed to the hospital with symptoms related to his injuries.

Olea was charged, but acquitted, of first-degree murder and was convicted on a second charge of child endangerment resulting in death. Miller was charged with child endangerment resulting in death.

Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen filed a motion Monday morning at a pretrial conference to dismiss the charge against Miller. In his motion, he said the testimony

Water Works will be constructing a berm around the water treatment facility. The council approved to the agreed upon price of $20,000, which comes out to $1 per cubic yard of material.

The council approved the sale of the timber in Maytag Park and Woodland Park to Machin L.C. of Newton for the price of 22 cents. City staff identified 13 oak trees in Woodland Park and nine oak trees in Maytag Park that have died or will be dead within the next year.

“In light of the jury verdict in that case, the undersigned believes the defendant has been exonerated in this case and does not believe a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt can be obtained,” the motion stated. “The state’s theory in this case was that Joseph Olea committed child endangerment resulting in death by the commission of an intentional act. The defendant was charged under the theory that she knowingly allowed Mr. Olea to care for her child, creating a substantial risk to her child’s safety. The

The judges greeted Hiekkila and asked her a few questions before her performance.

“Keith Urban asked me about my guitar, and I was so starstruck when he asked me who made my guitar, and I responded with, ‘I don’t know,’ even though it is written on the guitar,” Hiekkila said. “I was sweating really bad.

At the Jan. 20 city council meeting, Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Darrell Sarmento made a proposal for the Traffic Safety Committee to reconsider the current parking restriction for winter time parking, focusing on the downtown area.

The council has approved new parking plans for the downtown area.

The new plan is to allow parking in the Downtown Snow Removal District anytime, except when downtown snow hauling operations are declared by the Public Works Operations Superintendent or designee by telephonic means identifying that downtown snow hauling operations are declared.

This is the same method currently used elsewhere in town for snow plowing operations.

FAMILY CIRCUS

Tuesday, February 4, 2014

Wives banished from men’s club should start their own DEAR ABBY: My husband and I live in a 55-plus retirement community.

We do many things together, but we also do things independently. One resident decided to form two men’s clubs. One meets every week for breakfast, and the other twice a month at night. The members go to each other’s homes for the evening meetings.

Abby, the man who started these clubs is chauvinistic. He made a rule that women are not allowed in their own homes when their husbands host a meeting — “no skirts allowed.” Therefore, even though the wife prepares everything for her husband’s meeting, she’s told to slip out of the house before anyone arrives.

My husband agrees that this is ridiculous and is considering quitting the club, but he has formed friendships with some of the men. The guys are bamboozled by the leader and tell their wives that anything said at a meeting is “confidential.”

The obvious solution would be to meet at a coffee shop, but the man in charge says the homes provide a more intimate setting. My husband feels bad about it, and I don’t want him to quit a group he enjoys. Any suggestions? — GOOD LITTLE VEGAS WIFE DEAR GOOD LITTLE WIFE: It appears the founder of the clubs has his head stuck firmly in the 1950s. And while we can’t change that, I do have some suggestions.

The first is that the wives stop preparing anything and let the “bachelors” do it themselves or order takeout or deli for their meetings. The second is that the “widows” join together for an evening of fun while the men are having their meetings. Of course, nothing that happens during these ladies’ evenings of fun should be shared with the husbands — including what they did or what clubs they may have visited.

P.S. Because your husband feels bad about how the women are being treated, perhaps he should consider attending

only the breakfast get-togethers and seeing those men in the evening group he has bonded with independently.

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend loses her keys, wallet, credit cards or iPad every day. I have suggested ways to avoid losing her keys. For example — always use the same pocket in her purse or put them in a bowl by the door. She doesn’t do it. I think it is to spite me.

She has now become resentful that I have become impatient about it. I’m frustrated because this is something that can easily be fixed, and I’m tired of searching for 20 minutes for whatever she has misplaced. What can I do? — BEYOND FRUSTRATED IN L.A. DEAR BEYOND FRUSTRATED: The first thing you should do is understand that your girlfriend isn’t doing this to upset you, and it’s possible that she becomes as upset as you do when it happens. While I agree that part of the problem is that she’s disorganized, it could also be that her thinking is scattered. When she puts something down, she isn’t fully in the moment. Her thoughts may be on something else.

Frankly, there isn’t anything you can do about it. If there is a solution to your girlfriend’s problem, it’s that she should slow down and think about EXACTLY what she’s doing when she’s doing it, which is sometimes easier said than done.

Daily News The Pressbox

Bowled over Bowling is a sport I knew of early in life. My mother was a very good bowler when I was young and we were living in Kansas City, Kan. She even had an offer to bowl on an entrylevel professional tour.

She turned it down.

M o m By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News watched the Sports Editor PBA Tour bowling every Saturday afternoon, in season.

But ... I admit I’ve never covered bowling as a sport. So, I’m learning on the fly here in Newton as I watch Newton Senior High School’s bowling teams this season. I was disappointed to find out you are not permitted to take photos during competitions. That limits coverage a bit.

Before the season began, NHS bowling coach Seth Banwell gave me a quick short-course on high school bowling. He has given the Daily News complete results, helping me along the way.

The Cardinal girls have wrapped up first place in the Little Hawkeye Conference. They are undefeated at 11-0 after Saturday’s final home meet.

The Cardinal boys are starting to hit their stride down the stretch. They’ve put together wins over the past few weeks to improve to 7-4.

Picking up steam as they roll toward the Class 1A regional tournament is a good thing. It’s what Banwell and the Cardinal bowlers have been working toward — to be bowling their best as they enter the postseason.

Another cool thing is the Cardinals are bowling on their home lanes — Cardinal Lanes — Feb. 18 in the regional.

Banwell pointed out to me at the beginning of the season that Newton’s high school bowling program has built a strong tradition and reputation since it was sanctioned six year ago. So, I did a little research.

NHS’s girls advanced to the Class 1A state tournament four years in row — 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 — as a team. The Cardinal girls were third in 2009, second two straight seasons and third again in 2012.

Individually for the girls, Newton has had three place in the top 10 at state tournaments. Noella Van Brogen placed 10th in 2009 and 2011. Brandi Collins claimed third place in 2010 and Emily Braga took third in 2012.

Erica Bailey, currently a junior on the NHS bowling team, competed in the 2012 state tournament as a freshman. Bailey finished 15th.

Newton’s boys have not qualified a team for the state tournament yet. Banwell knows its just a matter of time for the Cardinals.

Newton’s Kyle Rojohn qualified as an individual for the boys’ state tournament in 2011.

Newton’s girls and boys were Little Hawkeye Conference champions a year ago. The Cardinal teams lost out to Knoxville in the regional tournament.

Youth is powering the Newton teams this season. Neither Cardinal varsity team has a senior on it.

Both have three juniors.

The Cardinal girls have a couple of sophomores and a freshman while the boys have two freshmen and a sophomore on the team.

Cardinal bowling is a sport to watch for this season and over the next few seasons.

NOT A SUPER BOWL — I’m an old AFL (American Football League) and AFC fan simply because I love the Kansas City Chiefs. So, I should have been cheering on the Denver Broncos in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Not so much. The Broncos looked like deer caught in headlights.

Seattle’s Seahawks soared and scored at will. The Seahawks used to be in the AFC division with the Chiefs and Broncos.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s 2014 Little Hawkeye Conference wrestling champions are (left to right) senior Koby Hull at 106 pounds, senior Ray Schroder at 195 pounds, sophomore Hunter Versteegh at 113 pounds and senior Joey Wright at 285 pounds. The four led the Cardinals to fourth place at Saturday’s conference tournament at Norwalk.

Cardinal wrestlers motivated at conference championships

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor NEWTON — Revenge is a strong word.

Newton senior Joey Wright stepped on the mat for the 285-pound championship match at Saturday’s 2014 Little Hawkeye Conference tournament. Four days earlier, Wright lost by a pin to Norwalk’s Trystan Minnis in the very same gymnasium at Norwalk.

“Wresting Minnis in the finals and winning felt really good since he beat me

on Tuesday,” Wright said.

Minnis had pinned Wright in regular season action.

Wright recorded two wins by pins in the quarterfinals and semifinals Saturday. That set up a match for the championship with Minnis. 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.

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.

“It feels really good to be back on the mat wrestling.

It felt really good to go back to Norwalk and win a championship,” Wright said.

Sophomore Hunter Versteegh won his first Little Hawkeye Conference championship, claiming the gold in the 113-pound division. He also went up against a Norwalk wrestler

he had faced and defeated last Tuesday.

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.

“It was pretty intense,” Versteegh said of winning a CARDINALS See Page 2B

First half run powers Norsemen by Tigerhawks

By Dustin Turner Daily News Sports Writer COLFAX — In a rematch of Friday’s game, Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks headed home to take on Roland-Story. Although the final score reflected a much closer game, the result was the same for C-M as the Tigerhawks took a 66-36 loss.

The first half was where the Norsemen took a big lead. R-S started the game out on an 8-0 run following a converted three-point play by junior Adam Shorkey, which prompted C-M coach John Borts to use a timeout.

Senior Nate Smith got the Tigerhawks on the board with a 3-pointer.

R-S then went into a press, which forced several C-M turnovers. Senior Zach Hovick answered Smith’s three with one of his own. Colin Lourens pulled C-M within seven after going 1-of-2 at the free throw line, and the Tigerhawks began to press.

Sharp passing allowed R-S to move its way up the floor through the pressure. Senior guard Ben Clark got to the rim with a layup to make it 16-4 Norsemen. John Barclay hit a pair of free throws to close out the first quarter with the Norsemen ahead, 22-4.

Tyler Hovick hit a 3-pointer to open the second quarter for R-S. James Stoecker answered for C-M with a putback off an offensive rebound.

Barclay responded with a three. Zach Hovick drained another 3-pointer,

Roland-Story decks C-M girls

By Dustin Turner Daily News Sports Writer

Dustin Turner/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Jessica Alright (12) drives to the rim for the layup during the third quarter of C-M’s loss to Roland-Story on Monday.

COLFAX — The proverbial monkey is off their backs.

Colfax-Mingo’s girls got their first win of the season more than a week ago, but win No. 2 has not been easy to come by.

C-M looked as though it was poised to pull off a comeback attempt against the visiting Norse from Roland-Story, but a fourth-quarter run put away the Tigerhawks, 68-47.

“We played an excellent game, despite the loss,” C-M coach Michelle Grant said.

“We had a game plan to stop their offensive facilitator and we executed it exactly as we wanted. Unfortunately, doing so meant forcing them to make shots from the outside, which they were able to do in the fourth quarter.”

C-M fell behind early as the Norse jumped out to a 16-3 run to start the game. R-S ran a 1-3-1 zone defense that was

limiting the Tigerhawks to outside chances, but C-M had several inside shots rim out or hit the side of the rim. Freshman Alivian Haley drained a shot from deep to pull C-M within 10 before the first quarter buzzer sounded.

Foul trouble kept the game at a slow pace during the first half, allowing the Tigerhawks to hang around. R-S was in the bonus with less than two minutes gone from the second quarter. Up 177, senior Natalie Vance drained a three for R-S. Jessica Albright took advantage of her opportunity at the foul line by making 1-of-2. Back at the other end, C-M switched into a 2-3 zone, which limited the Norse opportunities to outside shots.

R-S couldn’t convert on several outside chances, and the Tigerhawks got a spark as freshman Amy Russell entered GIRLS See Page 2B

Cardinal JV, Frosh take down DCG

By Dustin Turner Daily News Staff Writer

NEWTON — Newton’s junior varsity and freshman teams both got wins on Monday night against visiting Dallas CenterGrimes. The Cardinals’ JV team took down DCG, 46-45, in a tight game. Newton’s freshmen won, 51-39.

Newton’s JV held a ninepoint halftime advantage, 25-16.

DCG fought back with some sharp shooting from long range to pull even with the Cardinals at 45-all. Jake Bennett sunk the game-winning free throw with 10 seconds to go, giving Newton

the win.

Devin Shores led the JV with 14 points, followed by Jwan Roush’s 13. Zakk Weatherly pulled in nine rebounds to lead the team.

Newton’s JV moves to 7-7.

Newton’s freshmen had control early. A 3-pointer by Trey Vanderlaan as time expired gave Newton a 25-16 halftime lead over DCG. The Cardinals held on from there for the win.

Vanderlaan led the team with 19 points. Morgan Maher was second among Cardinal scorers with 18.

Newton’s freshmen are 9-5 with a 6-3 mark in LHC play.

Boys: C-M has a ‘ways to go’ Continued from Page 1B Blake Summy found a cutting Jared Myers for two more C-M points. Jerlad Fritz got a runner to go off a baseline drive for R-S. Clark sank two free throws before haltime to close out the quarter with R-S ahead by 30, 44-14.

The Tigerhawks played R-S to a second-half stalemate.

However, the 30-point loss still stings.

With five games left before postseason play, the Tigerhawks are 0-17.

“I thought we played with much more energy defensively in the second half,” Borts said.

“Offensively, we struggled in the first half. We need to get more post opportunities. We’ve progressed, but we still have a ways to go.”

The Tigerhawks travel to Saydel at Saydel on Tuesday and return home Friday to play Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

ON FRIDAY, the boys had trouble scoring early and didn’t find a rhythm until late against the Norsemen.

R-S used some sharp shooting to get out of the gate on a 25-4 run in the first quarter. C-M doubled its scoring effort in the second but still trailed, 37-12, heading into halftime. The Tigerhawks lost the third quarter, 20-10, and although they put together their best performance of the night in the fourth, the game was already out of reach.

C-M had trouble containing R-S’s Adam Shorkey, whose 13 points came on 6-of-6 shooting.

Zach Hovick led the Norsemen with 16 points on 3-of-11 shooting, including a 9-of11 performance from the free throw line.

Monday, Feb. 3 R-S 22-22-15-7 — 66 C-M 4-10-10-12 — 36 R-S — Zach Hovick 13, Clark 9, Barclay 6, Shorkey 5, Neil Upadhyay 4 C-M — Smith 8, Michael Deal 7, Lietz 6, Myers 5, Juan Gonzales 4, Lourens 3

Girls: Albright leads C-M Continued from Page 1B the game and promptly stole a pass and went coast-to-coast, finishing through a foul and converting the free throw. Haley later sunk a foul shot to pull C-M within eight. Russell stole another one and converted the layup. Junior Kristen Waline knifed through the lane for a bucket before the half, putting the Norse ahead, 24-16.

R-S went on a 5-2 run early in the third quarter, but that was stopped when McKenzie Cogley converted a three-point play off of an offensive rebound. Albright drove to the bucket for a pair and Jena Teed knocked down a floater, pulling C-M within four. A couple of minutes later, Breawna Schroder fed Russell in the post, and she converted to make it a two-point game.

Vance drove baseline and hit a floater to give R-S breathing room. Brittany Hammes converted a three-point play, and R-S led 38-31 following the free throw.

Albright kept the Tigerhawks in it as she split the press and went right to the bucket for the easy two. A late free-throw line jumper by Taylor Olson gave the Norse a 42-35 lead heading into the fourth.

The final quarter was all Norse. Olson converted a three-point play to open things up. Cogley answered with a jumper from the elbow, but Hammes proceeded to knock down back-to-back threes from the corner. R-S closed it out from there thanks to solid free throw shooting.

C-M plays at Saydel tonight in the Tigerhawks third to last game of the season.

ON FRIDAY, the Norse jumped ahead of C-M early, going on a 20-10 run. C-M fell behind further as the Tigerhawks saw the Norse roll off a 20-8 run to take a 40-18 lead going into the third quarter. The Tigerhawks amounted just six points in the second half on their way to a 43-point defeat to move to 1-16.

“We went into this game with a game plan that wasn’t fully executed,” C-M coach Michelle Grant said. “With reschedules, we get to play them again tonight (Monday), and we are ready with an altered game plan. Dakota Hostetter continues to play great defense. She truly has the ability to stop opponents from doing what they want to do with the basketball.”

Jena Teed and Jessica Albright each scored five points to lead the team. Ivy Moore, McKenzie Cogley and Jade Lewis scored four points apiece.

Monday, Feb. 3 R-S 16-8-18-26 — 68 C-M 6-10-19-12 — 47 C-M — Albright 10, Teed 8, Cogley 7, Russell 7, Kayla Van Dusseldorp 6

No. 16 Iowa St. beats No. 19 Oklahoma St. in 3OT

Cardinals: Next up for Newton wrestling is Class 3A district

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A pair of unlikely players helped Iowa State win one of the most thrilling games of the college basketball season.

Naz Long hit a 3-pointer to tie the game with 1.4 seconds left in the second overtime and Monte Morris drained a three in the final minute of the third overtime to help the 16thranked Cyclones defeat No. 19 Oklahoma State 98-97 in triple overtime on Monday night.

“I think you guys have been seeing it all year — those guys can play,” said Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim, the Big 12’s leading scorer.

“One through 12, we can play, and the confidence coach instills in us, in each player, to go out and knock down that shot with confidence — it showed today. We had multiple guys step up and make big shots. That’s what it’s all about.”

Iowa State found ways to suck the energy out of it.

Morris hit his big 3-pointer from the corner with 43 seconds left in the third overtime to put Iowa State up 96-95.

Nash misconnected on a pass to Brian Williams, and Oklahoma State turned the ball over with 22 seconds left. Long made two free throws with 21.8 seconds to play, extending Iowa State’s lead to three.

Brown dunked, then Williams stole the ball to give the Cowboys a shot at the win.

Smart missed a fadeaway, and Oklahoma State retained possession on a tie-up on the rebound. Nash missed a baseline jumper as time expired, and the Cyclones celebrated.

Kane committed his fourth foul with 1:40 left in the second overtime and Oklahoma State leading 87-86. Nash scored in close to bump the Cowboys’ lead to three.

Iowa State’s Matt Thomas and Kane missed shots, and Smart pulled in the rebound. Oklahoma State had a chance to put the game away, but Brown missed a midrange fadeaway, and Iowa State called a timeout, down 89-86 with 15.9 seconds remaining.

Thomas missed a three, but Kane rebounded, and Long’s 3-pointer with 1.4 seconds left tied the game.

Niang fouled out with 1:05 left in regulation and Iowa State leading 74-73. Brown made the two free throws after the foul to give Oklahoma State a 75-74 lead.

Ejim missed the first and made the second of two free throws to tie the score at 75 with 44 seconds to play.

Nash’s shot down low was blocked by Hogue, giving Iowa State another shot. Kane missed a 3-pointer, and a putback dunk by Ejim came after the buzzer.

conference championship. “It was fun. Our whole team did really well at the conference tournament.”

Newton had two other LHC champions — seniors Koby Hull at 106, who was a two-time champion, and Ray Schroder at 195. Junior Dakota Dawson finished second at 138 pounds.

Newton finished fourth as a team and had seven wrestlers place in the top three in weight classes, earning All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors.

“This is a wonderful group of hardworking individuals. Every wrestler that we have goes out there expecting to give six minutes of their maximum effort and tries the best that they can,” said Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm.

“For me, that’s the most important thing. I love seeing the improvement that these kids are making and could not be more excited to work with each of these kids through districts and beyond.”

Sophomore Bryce Tish avenged a quarterfinal loss to Reed Hillenga of Dallas Center-Grimes as the two squared off in the 132-pound thirdplace match.

Hillenga pinned Tish in 2 minutes, 8 seconds to open the tournament.

Tish worked back in the third-place match. He turned the tables on Hillenga. Tish pinned Hillenga in 1:47 to claim the bronze medal.

Junior J.T. Thongvahn lost in the semifinals at 170 pounds.

He bounced back with a major decision, 11-3, over Norwalk’s Blake Hoover for third place.

Alex Bentley, a sophomore, two losses on the day came against the same opponent. In the quarterfinal round, Nick Beebe of Oskaloosa beat Bentley 6-1 in the 126-pound division.

Bentley won his next two matches to reach the third-place match, losing 5-1 to Beebe.

Just the opposite for sopho-

more Cole Peters at 120 pounds for the Cardinals. Peters rolled to a 10-2 major decision over Kyle Sadler of Grinnell to open the tournament then lost twice.

That put Peters and Sadler in the fifth-place match. Peters pinned Sadler in 5:16.

Jordan Henning, another sophomore, finished fifth at 182 pounds. Henning pinned Carter Terpstra of Pella in 1:51 in the fifth-place match.

Newton won one and lost one fifth-place match by injury default. Freshman Caden Manning earned fifth at 220 with an injury default over Ryan Kennedy of Norwalk. Cardinal senior Earl Kimmel was unable to compete in the 160-pound fifth-place match after suffering an injury early in the tournament.

Freshman Justice Borger lost two in a row and was done for the day for Newton at 145 pounds.

Newton’s varsity wrestlers turn their focus toward Class 3A district tournament action.

The top two finishers in each weight class at district qualify for the Class 3A state tournament.

The Cardinals are excited about the Feb. 15 district tournament because they will wrestle at home. Newton hosts the Class 3A District 7. Joining Newton in the tournament are Iowa City City, Iowa City West, Marshalltown, Oskaloosa, Ottumwa, Pella and Cedar Rapids Prairie.

Astrograph Tuesday, February 4, 2014

The early day is for making compromises that will push the action forward. If you wait until the evening, people will be less amenable and unlikely to strike any kind of deal that will make them happy.

The feisty Aries moon will oppose Mars in the partnership sign of Libra this afternoon and then go void-of-course for the rest of the night.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 4). You’ll cash in at the end of a project this month. In March, the intellectual endeavors you take on will change your point of view and your schedule, too. April will heal a relationship. Improvements to your home have to do with a financial restructuring in May. June and July are filled with love and dates. Pisces and Gemini people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 3, 10, 46, 28 and 19.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s the people who don’t have time to relax who need relaxation the most. What can you do to fulfill this essential need

in your own life? Give relaxation a high priority status — that’s a start.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some people only see what they want to see in you. They see you as a person who can make their dreams come true or as someone who embodies the qualities of their fantasies.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You used to get a great deal of praise and social reinforcement for doing the hard job you’ll do today. Now the reward that matters most to you is the feeling you get from the work itself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Many of the world’s ills are caused by the love of power. This kind of love also has been the mother of progress. Much will depend on the context of the day. Stay aware of the ego’s needs and keep them in check.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just because you have a right to do something doesn’t mean you should.

Base your decisions on what might bring about the highest and best for all involved.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may find it difficult to know when someone has fudged the facts or stretched the truth, but the falsity you’ll detect right away is in pretending that something is there when nothing is there.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In today’s case, your best gift is you, showing up where you’re needed with a smile on your face. Make sure your gift arrives on time, because you’ll be best received by those who aren’t worn out from waiting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You won’t like everyone you have to be around, but because of your stellar character, you find a way to get along, be respectful and do the job at hand. You’ll set a precedent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Emotionally healthy people can chuckle at their

own expense and don’t mind doing so from time to time. But the truly arrogant fear funny people, as they should. Your keen sense of humor will cut to the quick.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The editing process can be tricky, but it’s an essential step in completing your project. It takes some work to narrow your focus to what’s essential and true without oversimplifying it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Mae West said you’re never too old to become younger, and that’s how you feel today as you make the decisions that will keep you fresher and more vital than yesterday.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Put your apprehensions to rest.

People will treat you exactly as you treat them.

In the rare case in which you don’t get your due, it will be made up to you tomorrow.

Bond reelected in FSA committee bid

By Ty Rushing Daily News Staff Writer The results are in for the Jasper County Farm Service Agency’s recent election and Howard Bond was re-elected to serve Local Administrative Area 3.

Bond’s will represent Clear Creek, Independence, Poweshiek, Sherman, Washington, Mound Prairie and Des Moines townships as the LAA 3 representative on the county committee.

Bond, a resident of rural Colfax, was challenged for his seat by Wade Boehm, also a resident of rural Colfax. Boehm will serve as first alternate if bond is unable to attend a meeting and Mike Holmes was selected at sec-

ond alternative.

Only farmers and ranchers, who have participated in or cooperated in a county FSA program, were allowed to vote in this election. Producers who are younger than the legal voting age may vote if they supervise or conduct a majority of the farming activities that take place on their land.

Bond’s new term is set to begin on Feb. 18.

In a previous interview, Jasper County FSA Executive Director Katie Kramer explained the importance of having a role on this committee.

“County committee members are a critical component of the operations of FSA. They help deliver FSA

farm programs at the local level,” Kramer said. “Farmers and ranchers who serve on county committees help with the decisions necessary to administer the programs in their counties. They work to ensure FSA agricultural programs serve the needs of local producers.”

Committee members are scheduled to meet the third Wednesday of every month, but meetings could be canceled due to tighter budgets and light agendas.

Bond will serve as vicechairman of the committee, Bryce Engbers will continue in the role in chairman and Mike Bleakney will serve as an additional committee member.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) — A nonprofit organization that helps farm families in need is accepting planting applications from farmers in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Montana.

North Dakota-based Farm Rescue assisted 50 farm families in 2013 and hopes to help a similar number of families this year.

Farm Rescue was founded in 2006 by North Dakota farm boy and cargo plane pilot Bill Gross to assist farm families who have experienced a major illness, injury or natural disaster. The organization has helped more than 250 families since its inception. It does not dole out money but instead enlists volunteers to help with the planting and harvesting of crops.

Priority is being given to applications for planting help that are received by April 1.

“Friends and neighbors may also anonymously refer a family that is in need of assistance, since some families are hesitant to ask for assistance themselves,” Gross said.

Farm Rescue relies on volunteers, business sponsors and donations. It is introducing a “Sponsor-A-Volunteer” program this year to enable donors to help with the costs of lodging and food for the volunteers who do the farm labor.

“We are requesting people to consider helping us offset some volunteer costs, which in turn will allow Farm Rescue to mobilize more volunteers,” Gross said.ienced major injury, illness or natural disaster.”

Applications are currently being accepted for the 2014 planting season, which can be obtained at 701-252-2017 or www.farmrescue.org. Sponsor-A-Volunteer donations may be mailed to: Farm Rescue, PO. Box 1100, Jamestown, ND 58402

Senate set to send Farm Bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is poised to send a massive, five-year farm bill that provides food for the needy and subsidies for the nation’s farmers to the White House for President Barack Obama’s signature.

The Senate was expected to pass the almost $100 billion-a-year compromise bill Tuesday; the House passed it last week. The bill provides a financial cushion for farmers who face unpredictable weather and market conditions, while also continuing to subsidize services for rural residents and communities who have hit hard times in recent years. The majority of the bill’s cost is food stamps, which supplement meal costs for 1 in 7 Americans.

“This bill will result in less food on the table for children, seniors and veterans who deserve better from this Congress, while corporations continue to receive guaranteed federal handouts,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said. “I cannot vote for it.”

The bill does have a stricter cap on the overall amount of money an individual farmer can receive — $125,000 in a year, when some programs were previously unrestricted.
