Public Health, Veterans Affairs garner new hires by county

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Community School District Board of Education members Ann Leonard and Josh Cantu listen to a speaker at Monday’s regular meeting. Cantu was one of the board members to speak on behalf of the Bond Committee, which has met twice recently and will meet again on Feb. 18.

Bond committee enthused after Berg tour Subcommittee assignments slated for Sept. 13 election campaign

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Based on reports given Monday night about the recent meetings of Newton Community School District’s bond committee, things seem to be rolling in a positive direction.

The bond committee, which is helping the district educate the community about the need to rebuild the Berg Complex in advance of a general-obligation vote on Sept. 13, recently met twice to go over a number of aspects about their efforts. NCSD board of education members Josh Cantu, Travis Padget and Andy Elbert all spoke at Monday night’s regular board meeting about the bond committee.

The committee, which met Jan. 26 and Feb. 4, is set to meet again at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 18 at Emerson Hough.

The Jan. 26 meeting gave the district’s newly hired public relations consultants of Sara Opie and Jeff Huggins a chance to introduce themselves. They will work together on bond campaign projects such as marketing communication, public relations and other related services.

The Feb. 4 meeting involved a tour of the Berg Complex — somewhat similar to the tour the Newton Daily News took readers on a little more than a year ago.

The committee was able to see the tough circumstances the oft-remodeled building poses in terms of spaces that are tough to monitor

Five community partner groups have collaborated for display space at the annual Des Moines Home & Garden Show Thursday through Sunday.

The groups will promote Newton’s development and tourism opportunities in booth 1505 on the show’s Feature Garden level.

Participating organizations are Newton Housing Development Corporation, the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, Newton Development Corporation, Newton Convention & Visitors Bureau and the city’s marketing group, “Get to Know Newton.” All

five have contributed both funds and volunteers to ensure Newton is well represented at the show.

In addition, Iowa Speedway donated two 2016 Season Passes to the track’s upscale Newton Club as an enter-towin sweepstakes prize, which will be awarded to one of the attendees who sign up in Newton’s booth during the show.

“We are grateful to our community partners for making it possible to have a significant presence for Newton at this important event in Des Moines,” said Natalie Umsted, senior analyst for the City of Newton. “We’ll be exposed SHOW | 3A

and temperature differences from room to room.

At Monday’s meeting, Newton Superintendent Bob Callaghan pointed out Opie recently worked with the Prairie City-Monroe district’s successful passage of a bond issue with a 69 percent approval.

A minimum of 60 percent voter approval is needed for voters to approve an Iowa school bond; Newton will be asking property owners for about $25 million in September.

Padget told the board the committee was enthused after the two meetings.

“Both meetings were really powerful — especially the Feb. 4 one,” Padget said on Monday.

“We met at the Berg Complex itself and took a tour of the facility and saw the boilers and saw what shape that building is in. We really came out of there ready to canvass and get after this.”

Two new employees were approved for hire by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday.

Rebecca Pryor, the new administrator for Jasper County Public Health and Charlotte Ross, a temporary parttime clerk with Veterans Affairs will both begin in their positions on Monday and Wednesday, respectively.

“We’re excited,” human resource director Dennis Simon said of Pryor. “She’s already starting to work on things and meeting

with people for training classes. I think it going to be a win-win all the way around.”

Pryor was selected by the Jasper County Board of Health in late January to fill the new position.

She was previously the director of home health, public health and hospice at Grinnell Regional Medical Center after serving for 15 years at Fayette County Health Department in Illinois.

In Jasper County, she will coordinate public health, home care and environment health departments. With the new position, it is the

Branson entertainer coming to Newton’s Cowboy Church

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Well known Silver Dollar City performer Danny Eakin is set to bring his “songtellin’” to a free concert at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Bar None Cowboy Church.

Better known as the “Travelin’ Minstrel of the Ozarks,” Eakin plays the banjo, guitar and harmonica as he sings about life and what comes with it.

Hailing from Booger Holler, Ark., Eakin is a successful performer with seven albums released between 1985 and 1992 including “Danny Eakin & Old Blue,” “LIVE in Ozark Mountain Country,” “Family Christmas with Ole Blue” and “The Years Go Rollin’ By.” In 1993, Eakin became a founding member of Homestead Pickers, a performance group in Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo. Along with three fellow musicians, Eakin performs hillbilly, bluegrass, gospel and country on fiddles, banjos and harmonicas bringing together comedy mayhem at their longstanding show.

Known as a child of God and a proud hillbilly, Eakin has four priorities, the first being God. “We hillbillies believe that God is responsible for all things ever ate, heard, felt or smelt as well as all things right sweet and holy about this old world,” Eakin said.

“I’ve been pickin’ and singin’ most all my life ‘bout somethin’ or ‘nother. I guess I learned my love for singin’ from momma, who sung all the time ‘round the house and played her momma’s pump organ,” Eakin said.

Eakin traveled to Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles along with many other places before he settled down with his two children in Branson in 1984. From that time on he started singing and “songtellin’” on the stages at Silver Dollar City.

“Danny is a well-known art-

Local & State News Bond Continued from Page 1A The committee was able to look at all of the complex’s limitations. It cannot realistically be modified further in a way that would enhance efficiency unless major remodeling is done, and the almost $18 million estimate for that work is more than half the cost of constructing an allnew building, keeping a handful of the newer add-ons.

Cantu said he was able to “find his way back to the gym,” referring to the meandering hallways that have been added to Berg through the years. He also said

timing of delivering the message to the public is important.

When Padget asked the board what they think about needing the public to experience the heating problems in the building, it was pointed out the July, August and September issues in the complex might be different, but are still just as convincing about the need to replace it. Mold was found in a classroom last year at the complex.

Also, the traffic circle in front becomes one of the most congested spots in the city at times.

The committee includes a wide cross-section of educators, buisnesspeople and other members of the community. It includes Karen Hoffmeier, Seth Banwell, Barbie Burnett, Andrew Kuker, Stephanie Langstraat, Casey Price, Lisa Sharp, Doug Smith, Darin Tisdale, Tara Zehr, Rita Baker, Jordan Bell, Kristi Cummins, Carol Farver, Dan Goetz, Mark Hallam, Fran Henderson, Tom Hoover, Jane Johnson, Chantelle Lundberg, Toni Peska, Sue Pickett,

Amanda Price, Danielle Rogers, Nathan Unsworth, Amber Zink and Craig Armstrong.

Padget said it will be critical for the public to be able to tour the facility and see the same needs, and Cantu echoed that sentiment.

“I cannot stress enough how important it is to get people into that building to see what it’s like,” Cantu said. “You can drive by it and see it from the outside and say ‘Eh, it looks OK.’ But touring the building really was an eye-opening experience for me.”

An important winter safety message from Black Hills Energy Newton Daily News Snow and ice buildup on your natural gas meter can create a safety hazard and even cut off the flow of natural gas to your heating equipment and other appliances. To avoid trouble, gently remove snow and ice from on and around the meter with your hands or a broom.

Gas meters and regulators are durable and designed with the weather in mind, but a coating of ice or snow could cause a loss of service and become a critical safety issue. If at all possible, remove the snow before it has a chance to freeze.

• Gently clear snow away by hand or with a broom. Do not use a

shovel, ice pick or other sharp tools, damage could result and make the situation worse.

Keep snow blowers and shovels away from gas meters and other aboveground equipment.

• Carefully clear snow away from the outdoor vent on high-efficiency furnaces. The furnace won’t run safely and efficiently if the vent is blocked.

• Safely remove ice buildup from overhead eaves that could fall and damage gas meters below.

• Point out the meter and any other aboveground utility structures to anyone you hire for snow removal.

The board also approved Parrott adding Nationwide Retirement Solutions to the retirement options for Jasper County employees. The additional brings no new costs to the county, but gives employees another option when deciding their retirement needs.

Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott said that 26 other counties in Iowa use Nationwide for retirement services.

“With 26 other counties using it, they aren’t fly by night, they aren’t something brand new.

They must be having some success,” Parrott said.

The board did stipulate that Nationwide would not be the sole provider of retirement services to the county, as its representatives had requested previously.

Why I don’t make a good NFL fan

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Feb. 10, 2016

When it comes to lousy pro sports fans, I am part of the problem. I demonstrated this by taking the fun out of the game during my last visit to an NFL contest more than 11 years ago.

It was Dec. 26, 2004. An allday drive on Christmas brought my then-girlfriend and myself to Texas Stadium in Irving — legendary and supposedly majestic home of “America’s Team.”

Texas Stadium really has always been kind of a dump, which is why Jerry Jones and others wanted to build a replacement that turned out to be the $1 billlion monstrosity in nearby Arlington.

Irving had become a too-large suburb with office complexes and sprawling housing tracts wedged in between major highways. Dirt and gravel roads led to the muddy outer parking areas.

I was in a good mood after we successfully met up with a Redskin tailgate group we discovered online. Upon learning

our seats were in the nosebleed section, they seemed reassured we hadn’t shown up with the steel construction-type Redskin hard hats most in the group possessed, to protect from objects thrown by Cowboy fans, as there would be virtually no one above us.

The stadium building was damp, dirty and had a hollow sound, especially with the low attendance the Cowboys drew in 2004. Both my Redskins and the Cowboys went 6-10 that season — a far cry from the intense 1970s and 80s battles that made the rivalry famous.

Still, we were enthused about simply being on what had been the site of so many historic games.

We were even more enthused about the Redskins scoring first on a short field goal.

I even had fun teasing the guy in front of us who had brought his three young boys to their first NFL game, all dressed in Dallas gear.

However, during the second quarter, I showed why I’m not a very good fan.

Keyshawn Johnson had mostly gotten off to a slow start in the game, much to my amusement. However, he caught a second-quarter pass to set up a 1st-and-goal, did a fancy, lengthy dance afterward — and I completely lost it.

I let loose nearly every four-letter and derogatory dirty word I’d learned since preschool, at a volume intended to be heard by all of Texas Stadium. Even three plays later — when the Redskin defense held and forced a short field goal — I was still lambasting Johnson at the top of my lungs.

Finally, the father of the three young boys asked “Fella, could you please tone it down a little?”

I finally ran out of gas. My girlfriend had already moved on to looking up a photos of cute fluffy animals on my “smart phone” by the time I calmed down, and I lat-

er apologized to the dad and his boys.

I was mildly ecstatic for some of the Redskins’ positive plays the rest of the game — including a Patrick Ramsay go-ahead touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. But when the Cowboys went 75 yards in nine plays in the final minute of the game, capped by 40-year-old Vinny Testaverde’s 39-yard pass to rookie Patrick Crayton over the “prevent” defense, I didn’t even get that upset.

In fact, I have never really gotten that worked up about a pro sports team’s wins or defeats since that 13-10 Redskin loss. I’m not sure if that helped me realize that I might have taken the whole thing too seriously until then, but it definitely helped me realize paying big money and getting all wrapped around the axle about a team or athlete was no longer for me.

Putting an end to sanctuary jurisdictions

Drug Initiative Program, K-9 unit will make a difference in Newton Newton Daily News Editorial Ask any member of the Newton City Council what concern they hear about most often, and they will most will likely identify our city’s drug problem.

Communities across Iowa and our nation struggle with the exact same issues. Yet some police departments have more resources than others.

That’s why we were pleased when city council recently approved more than $56,000 in start-up costs for a narcotics K-9 unit. In the time period that has followed, thousands of dollars in donations from local residents and organizations have meant this program has secured funds to facilitate the program.

The Newton Police Department is certainly in need

of better resources to combat drug activity in our community. Having a K-9 unit will mean stronger enforcement efforts can become a reality.

Perhaps more important is the vision laid out by Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess in his Drug Initiative Program.

While the K-9 unit is the largest element of enforcement efforts, the NPD will also target education, treatment and rehabilitation.

The NPD plans to roll out a new education and prevention program by spring of 2017. This is anticipated to replace the now defunct DARE program that dissolved in 2010. Meanwhile, a jail diversion program that focuses on rehabilitation and treatment has been in place since October. In partnership with Optimae Life Services,

the program helps locals suffering from mental health and substance abuse and minimizes or prevents their incarceration.

On average, the Newton Police Department files more than 320 narcotics-related charges and responds to more than 207 incidents related to drugs each year in Newton. However, the full impact of substance abuse is too great to be calculated.

Responses to domestic assault, child abuse, car crashes, fights and suicide oftentimes have some link to substance abuse.

Recent efforts by local businesses — particularly Montana Mike’s, who organized a largescale fundraising event, should be applauded. As community members who are invested in the future of Newton, we should continue to support the K-9 unit in any way we can.

Just this past summer in San Francisco, a young woman by the n a m e of Kate Steinle was shot and killed by an illegal immigrant, Francisco Sanc h e z ,

By Greg who had Heartsill previIowa o u s l y Representative been deported from the United States five times.

In an interview with a local TV station, Sanchez admitted that he kept returning to San Francisco “because he knew that there would be no effort by the local authorities to find and deport him.” Many years ago, the City of San Francisco passed an ordinance that prohibited local officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, thus designating itself as a so-called “sanctuary city.”

Closer to home, unfortunately, we have a similar story. In October 2013, a 93-year-old Council Bluffs grandmother was raped and brutally beaten by a 19-year-old man who was unlawfully in this country.

At last count, there were at least 23 of Iowa’s 99 counties that are designated as “sanctuary” jurisdictions for those who are in this country illegally. This creates a significant public safety problem in our state, as in the aforementioned examples and many other similar situations like them that exist throughout the United States.

This past week, I was a member of the subcommittee on House Study Bill 558, which would require all state, county and municipal authorities to cooperate with federal law en-

forcement when dealing with immigration laws.

It seems like it shouldn’t even be necessary for the Iowa Legislature to intervene and insist that certain jurisdictions NOT turn a blind eye to law breakers.

These “sanctuary” policies have resulted in thousands of illegal immigrants being released nationwide. Many of which were dangerous criminals that were being sought by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation.

But due to the blatant disregard for rule of law, enacted sanctuary polices amount to creating safe havens for those who are in this country illegally. That means these individuals are allowed to remain in our communities where they are able to commit potentially more crimes without fear of being reported to the proper federal authorities.

House Study Bill 558 would remedy this situation in Iowa by preventing local jurisdictions from imposing sanctuary policies. That is why I was happy to support it and see it move to the full House Public Safety Committee for consideration.

This coming Friday I will be holding town hall meetings in the following locations: Two Rivers Co-op in Tracy at 8 a.m.; Community Center in Bussey at 9:30 a.m.; and Chamber of Commerce in Knoxville at 5 p.m.

If you are unable to attend one of my scheduled forums, please feel free to contact me with issues or your concerns as they arise. You may do so either by phone 641-218-0185, email greg. h ea r t si l l @ l egi s. iowa.gov or when visiting the capitol. I appreciate and welcome your comments and feedback.

Until next time, God bless.

Wedding cast of characters reflects turbulent history

DEAR ABBY: My son, “Chad,” is being married in June to “Jenny,” a girl his sister “Madison” introduced him to.

Madison feels she should be a bridesmaid in their wedding because she introduced them. Madison had sex with Jenny’s boyfriend “Axel” before she met Chad, got pregnant and had Axel’s baby.

Jenny feels Madison screwed up her life and, even though she’s about to marry my son, she doesn’t want to reward Madison by asking her to be in the wedding. My daughter says if she’s not in the wedding she won’t attend, and won’t allow her son (by Axel) to be the ring bearer, either.

I feel Chad and his fiancee should be able to have their wedding the way they want. I do not want to miss my only son’s wedding because my daughter feels slighted. What should I do and say? — COMPLICATED IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR COMPLICATED: While it’s unfortunate that Jenny can’t let bygones be bygones in the interest of future family harmony, you must not allow your daughter to dictate the plans for her brother’s wedding. When the big day arrives, you should definitely attend and celebrate with Chad and Jenny. If Madison chooses not to attend as a guest, that’s her decision, and you should not allow her to make it your problem.

DEAR ABBY: My mother married a man, “George,” a few years ago. They met online, and he makes her happier than I’ve ever seen her. Our entire family adores George and is supportive of their marriage.

My husband and I had our first child, “Ella,” this year. This has made Mom’s dreams of becoming a grandma come true.

When I see George hold, play with, or just be in the same room with my daughter, I can’t help but keep a really close eye on how he acts with her.

He hasn’t said or done anything for me

not to trust him, but it makes me really uneasy, and I want to restrict his interaction with her.

It is my responsibility to protect my baby girl, and I’m extra-cautious because I was molested as a young girl.

I can’t discuss this with Mom because she doesn’t know about what happened to me, and I know this would cause a huge fight between us.

How can I limit George’s contact with Ella while still giving Mom the time she wants with her? Is this intuition or paranoia? — CAUTIOUS IN KANSAS DEAR CAUTIOUS: Why does your mother not know what happened to you as a child? Did you stay silent because you were afraid you wouldn’t be believed? Because you wanted to protect her? Because your abuser was your father? You should have told her.

It was her job to protect YOU. I think the time has come for you to let her know what happened and how it has affected you. While I can appreciate your reason for not trusting men, not all men are molesters. If you would feel better keeping a close eye on your daughter’s interactions with males until she’s old enough to know what kind of touches are appropriate and which ones are not, that’s your privilege. And if it leads to an argument with your mother, you will just have to stand by your decision.

of aiding in wife’s murder

NEWTON — A Newton jury has convicted a man of helping his mother stab his wife to death in 2013. Jurors handed over the verdict Tuesday afternoon finding 40-year-old Dustin Jefferson guilty of aiding and abetting first-degree murder in the death of his wife. His mother, Ginger Jefferson, is serving life in prison for first-degree murder in the September 2013 attack of 32-year-old Kerry O’Clair Jefferson. The trial is the state’s third attempt to convict Dustin Jefferson.

ban on voting by felons

IOWA CITY — In a major voting rights case, the Iowa Supreme Court will consider whether to relax the state’s lifetime ban on voting by convicted felons. The court said last week it would hear the case, which could clear up longstanding confusion over which of the state’s tens of thousands of former offenders are eligible to vote. Civil rights groups want the court to restore many of their voting rights before the presidential election,

INDIANOLA — An Iowa college is sticking with its decision to hire a fulltime coach for its shooting sports club, despite opposition from alumni and other supporters who say guns have no place on a liberal arts campus. Simpson College President Jay Simmons said the school’s board of trustees considered two dueling petitions about the student club’s future at its regular winter meeting Friday. Simmons said the board will still hire a fulltime coach.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Linn County will soon have to find a new home for thousands of court documents that are being stored in a rented space. The city of Cedar Rapids is working to buy the Hubbard Ice building, where the county stores up to 700,000 court documents, and will likely demolish it to make room for a flood wall. The county spends nearly $50,000 annually to rent the space, but it doesn’t have a choice. State code says the county must keep civil and criminal case files for 10 years.

5 Senate OKs 4 percent hike in future K-12 school budget

DES MOINES — The Democratic-controlled Iowa Senate has passed legislation that would establish future state aid for K-12 schools, though the funding remains unclear as lawmakers debate more immediate education costs.

Trump and Sanders big winners, riding voter frustration MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter frustration with American politics to commanding victories in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primaries, adding crucial credibility to their upstart candidacies.

Sanders swept majorities of men, women, independents and young people in his win over Hillary Clinton, but faces challenges in the more diverse states that come next on the primary calendar. Trump, appealing to voters seeking a political outsider, could benefit from the persistent lack of clarity among the more mainstream Republicans struggling to challenge him.

“We are going to do something so good and so fast and so strong and the world is going to respect us again, believe me,” Trump said at a victory rally.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich grabbed second in New Hampshire after pouring nearly all of his campaign resources into the state. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio vied for third along with Ted Cruz, the Iowa caucus winner, ensuring all would press on to the next voting contest in South Carolina.

Some Republicans announce support for medical marijuana bill DES MOINES (AP) — Some Republican House lawmakers announced their support Tuesday for new legislation that would create a system for manufacturing, distributing and possessing some forms of medical marijuana in Iowa, though it’s unclear what type of backing the bill will get from party leaders.

The bill would expand the state’s 2014 law on medical marijuana, which allows some epilepsy patients to use cannabis oil but doesn’t include an in-state manufacturing system for the oil.

The new legislation would include more products and patients, though it would prohibit smoking the drug.

Rep. Peter Cownie, R-West Des Moines and chairman of the House Commerce Committee,

support of new faces and legislators as well as strong new data that shows Iowans overwhelmingly support a comprehensive medical cannabis program in Iowa in 2016,” said Sally Gaer with advocacy group Iowans 4 Medical Cannabis.

Senate lawmakers introduced legislation last session that aimed to create a similar system. It passed in the full Senate but failed to come up for a vote in the House.

The sponsoring and backing of the medical marijuana bill by a House Republican gives it some new momentum, but House leaders have yet to comment on it, and Cownie was vague when asked about that support.

“People have predispositions to this issue,” he said. “I just hope everyone can keep an open mind.”

Cownie spoke during a news conference at the Capitol that included presentations from advocates of medical marijuana. He was surrounded by a handful of House Republicans, including Rep. Jake Highfill from Johnston, Rep. Bob Kressig from Cedar Falls, and Rep. Zach Nunn from Altoona.

The bill would create a system for manufacturing medical marijuana in the form of liquids and pills. It also would expand the list of medical conditions that could be treated with medical marijuana, including cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Cardinals girls push Pella to final seconds

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Putting up a fight in the second half, Newton High’s Cardinals defend tough against Class 3A top-ranked Pella Tuesday night. Newton’s Jake Bennett comes out to apply pressure on Pella’s Payson Vande Lune (13). The visiting Little Dutch defeated the Cardinals, 74-59.

Top-ranked Pella rolls past Newton boys

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Connor Gholson drained two 3-pointers to open the game for Newton High’s Cardinals. In front of a packed NHS gym, the Newton boys led Class 3A top-ranked Pella’s Little Dutch. 6-2.

The game plan was on for the Cardinals, but it wasn’t really. A basket

by Jwan Roush put Newton up 8-6 at the 4:52 mark of the first quarter. It was the last time the Cardinals led in the Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference contest.

The Little Dutch busted loose to lead 20-11 on its way to a 74-59 win on Newton’s Legacy Night and one of two Coaches vs. Cancer nights.

Newton made a run at Pella in the second half after trailing by 18 points at the break. The Cardinals whittled the deficit to nine points, 58-49, with seven minutes remaining in the game.

They got no closer.

“When you start that poorly, it’s hard to dig yourself out of a big hole like we found ourselves in by halftime,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said.

“At halftime, I decided I wasn’t going to yell and scream and be upset about it. We’re going to go back out there and play how we practiced all

week. We’re going to start over and play as hard as we possibly play.”

Pella cashed in steals, Newton turnovers and offensive rebounds into points in is first-half blitz. Newton trailed 24-11 before Joseph Banfield scored a three-point play for the Cardinals at the 6:29 mark of the second quarter.

Banfield would score two more times to keep the Cardinals within 10 points. Garrett Sturtz’s basket with 3:36 left in the first half made it 3020, but Pella would end the second quarter on eight unanswered points.

Ryan Van Wyk connected from 3-point range for the Little Dutch.

Grant Judkins had a basket then a three-point play with 38 seconds left to hand Pella a 38-20 halftime lead.

“We went out in the second half and did what we were coached to do.

Our kids played hard in the second half, but it wasn’t enough because we had put ourselves in a huge hole to start the game,” Liley said.

Pella’s lead moved to 23 points, 5330, with 3:37 left in the third quarter.

Jake Bennett came off the Newton bench to drained a 3-point at the 2:20 mark followed by a basket by Banfield to trim the deficit to 55-41.

Bennett netted another trey with BOYS | 3B

Hannah Rhoads’ shot from the right corner was lined up. When the Newton High senior fired the 3-point shot, it appeared the game would be tied.

The Cardinals’ bid for an upset of Class 4A eighth-ranked Pella in front of a packed home crowd bounced off the rim. The Lady Dutch’s Kiara Bradley claimed the rebound to preserve her team’s 66-63 Little Hawkeye Conference victory Tuesday at Newton.

Just less than a month ago at Pella, Newton was never in the first meeting of the two LHC teams, losing 7133. The Cardinals rallied from a 39-27 halftime deficit Tuesday to one point, 64-63.

Senior guard Sydney Jenkins drained her sixth 3-pointer of the night with 30 seconds left in the game, pulling the Cardinals to within one. Following a timeout, Pella’s Katie Vander Molen converted on a one-and-one at the freethrow line to push her team’s lead to three.

Courtney Jacobsen had a 3-point attempt blocked out of bounds with eight seconds on the clock. That set up Rhoads’ shot at the end.

“It was fun to be a part of this game,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said. “I was sure that last shot was going in. I knew we were resilient but didn’t know we were that resilient.

Tonight, I learned a lot about these kids and a lot about our team.”

The Cardinals could have folded early. Pella started off on fire taking a 21-3 lead by the 2:26 mark of the first quarter.

Newton didn’t go away, going on a 13-1 run to close out the first period to trail 22-16.

“In the first quarter, they put the ball in the basket a lot. They just made a bunch of shots,” Sharp said. Pella rang up six of its eight 3-point-

Sharpshooting Saydel buries eight treys in win over CMB

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter opponents have made a habit out of playing their best game of the season against the Raiders this season.

That trend continued Tuesday when Saydel buried eight 3-pointers and scored 24 more points than its season average during a 64-50 victory over the Raiders during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

The Eagles came into the game shooting 28 percent from long range, but the eight 3-point makes came in 13 attempts.

Adding to CMB head coach Scott Brummel’s frustration, two Saydel players combined

to score 26 more points than their season average.

“I don’t think we rotate particularly well in the corners, but tonight it was the top of the key,” Brummel said of Saydel’s eight 3-point makes. “They were a few feet behind the line.

Normally, you don’t have to go that far out. Guys get hot sometimes.

“They just made 3-pointers tonight. I am tired of watching teams make way more 3-pointers than they average though.”

Saydel has just two wins on the season, but the Eagles are 2-2 in their last four games.

CMB (2-17 overall, 2-13 in the HOIC) has now lost 10 straight games.

The Raiders played well at times, but the consistency level at both ends of the floor is not where it needs to be.

Brady Kemp scored five of CMB’s first seven points, and the visitors led 7-2 early.

The Raiders never trailed in the quarter, but Kole Walker got hot in the second frame to turn the momentum over to the Eagles (2-17, 1-14).

Walker scored backto-back buckets to tie the game at 12-all.

He tied it again with another basket a few possessions later, and his final four points of the quarter pushed Saydel to a 28-24 lead at the break.

Slow start plagues CMB girls against Saydel

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — For the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s offense to work at its best, Raider girls basketball coach Jamie Zabel needs his guards to step up and make outside shots with confidence.

That just hasn’t happened enough this year, and it did them in again during a Heart of Iowa Conference contest that ended regular-season play here on Tuesday night.

CMB got off to a rocky start against Saydel, and the points were hard to come by throughout the game as the Raiders struggled through a 38-19 defeat against the Eagles.

It was the seventh straight loss for CMB, and the Raiders were held to less than 30 points for the 10th time this season.

“I think it’s as simple as not making outside shots because it doesn’t open up our inside game,” Zabel said. “They can sag their defense into the lane, and we get double and triple teamed most of the game.

Then they get discouraged when the shots don’t fall. I have to beg kids to take outside shots. We have to take them and make them if we want to get any better.”

The Eagles, who have won three of their last four games, jumped out to a 16-4 lead after one quarter. They only outscored CMB by seven in the final three quarters, and the Raiders held Saydel to 13 second-half points.

“I thought our defensive effort after the first quarter was great,” Zabel said. “To hold them to 13 in the second half was pretty good. We played

the floor.

Mikayla Eslinger had all four of CMB’s points in the first quarter. The Raiders were outscored 9-2 in the second frame, and the only points came from Sydney Ziesman, who had a team-high six points, three steals and three rebounds in the loss.

CMB (2-18 overall, 1-15 in the HOIC) more than doubled its output in the third quarter but still trailed 30-13 heading into the fourth frame before losing by 19.

“I thought the second half was much better tonight,” Zabel said. “I just wish we could have played better in the first quarter.”

Kathleen Baldwin scored five points for the Raiders, while Eslinger scored four points and grabbed four boards.

Saydel (8-13, 6-10) got 12 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and five steals from all-conference player Cassie Chubb. No other Eagle player reached double-figures.

The Raiders open postseason play on the road at 7 p.m.

Saturday against Class 3A No. 3 Nevada.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Sydney Ziesman (15) scored six points, grabbed three rebounds and had three steals in the Raiders’ 38-19 loss to Saydel in Des Moines on Tuesday.

even with them for most of the way after the first quarter.”

Besides not hitting outside shots, the CMB offense also struggled because it turned the ball over 27 times. Of those miscues, 21 came in the first

half.

The Eagles turned it over 20 times but stayed in front because they had a 5-0 advantage in made 3-pointers. The Raiders were 0-for-5 from long range and 8-of-31 from

PCM ends regular season with Heart of Iowa win over rival Gilbert

Continued from Page 1B Walker came into the game averaging 13.5 points per game but scored 27 and had nine rebounds against the Raiders.

Jake Philipsen got into the 3-point parade in the third quarter. His second 3-pointer of the game put Saydel up 36-28. The Raiders rallied behind Hunter Gunderson but still trailed 4340 at the end of the third.

“The first half it was at the high post that they got open shots from,” Brummel said. “I thought we covered it up in the second half, but then they hit some shots from outside. We had to play zone at times and there’s too many holes in it.”

Gunderson had CMB’s first two points of the fourth, but Saydel seized complete control of the game with an 8-2 run.

Brady Stover converted back-toback layups to get CMB within five, but Philipsen hit his fourth trey of the game.

Philipsen came into the game averaging 5.3 points per game but scored 18 and dished out four assists. He was 5-of-7 from 3-point range.

“What we don’t do is we are not opportunistic,” Brummel said. “We can get three or four stops at the defensive end, but then we don’t score at the other end. Then we’ll score on three or four straight possessions but won’t get a stop at the other end.

“We don’t put both ends of the floor together enough to overcome a seven-point deficit, and we can’t run away from someone if we have a lead.”

Walker eventually gave Saydel its first double-digit lead of the game. After Stover’s layup got CMB within five, the Eagles ended the game on a 13-4 run.

Gunderson led the Raiders with 12 points, while Will Clapper had 10 points and five rebounds and Brady Stover chipped in nine points, four rebounds and three steals.

Brady Kemp fouled out with 2:42 to play in the final quarter, but he still scored eight points and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.

GILBERT — In preparation for the postseason, Prairie City-Monroe girls basketball coach Jeff Lindsay tweaked his offense in M o n d a y ’ s practice in advance of a Heart of Iowa ConferJennings ence and regular-season finale Tuesday at Gilbert.

The offensive set emphasized dribble penetration with the hope of finding open shooters on the outside.

For a quarter, the adjustment didn’t appear to make the offense more productive.

Once the shots started to fall though, the Mustangs seized control and pulled away for a 56-47 victory.

“We weren’t hitting our open looks early,” Lindsay said. “We were apprehensive at the change at first, but I called timeout and told the girls that we have to be willing to try different things. After that, we moved the ball around as well or better than any game this year and we got on a roll in the fourth.”

PCM trailed 9-6 after one quarter, but led by two at the break after a 16-11 surplus in the second frame.

The host Tigers (12-9 overall, 12-4 in HOIC) closed the gap

to one point after three quarters, but the Mustangs pulled away in the final period, outscoring Gilbert 23-15.

Junior Jayci Vos kept the Mustangs afloat in the first half, scoring 10 of her 12 points in the first two quarters.

Junior K a y l a Jennings took over in the final two Vos quarters, scoring 19 of her 23 points.

Jennings also had four rebounds. Vos finished with a team-high five assists, junior Kaylee Townsend blocked three shots and Lexi Timmins, Katie Vande Wall and Rachel Stafford all had four boards.

Vande Wall dished out four assists, too.

The Mustangs (129, 11-5) came into the game shooting a little less than 19 percent from 3-point range.

On Tuesday, PCM buried all five of its shots from outside.

The win for PCM gives the Mustangs a fourth-place finish in the HOIC. They finished one game back of Gilbert and North Polk, while Nevada won the league title with a perfect 16-0 record.

The Mustangs begin postseason play at 7 p.m.

Saturday against Clarke in Monroe.

Hawks thump Warriors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News VICTOR — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks wrapped up their South Iowa Cedar League West play with a thumping of HLV, 63-22, on the Warriors’ court Tuesday.

The Class 1A 10th-ranked Hawk boys rolled to a 17-7 lead by the end of the first quarter and had the game fully in hand by halftime up 43-13. The entire second half was played under the continuous clock rule. Lynnville-Sully outscored HLV, 20-9 in the second half.

“It was a tough game to get into a flow. We did some good things, but we also need to clean up a few things in practice,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “The guys understand attention to detail moving forward is going to be important.”

The Hawks shot 44 percent, 24-of-55, from the field and dropped in 8-of-11 free throw attempts. The Warriors were 8-of-29 from the field for 28 percent and went 6-of-16 at the free-throw line.

Tyler Van Zante hit three 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 15 points. He handed out four assists and made three steals for the Hawks.

Jesse Van Wyk scored 11 points and had two steals.

Rylan James tossed in 10 points and controlled six rebounds. Kyle Van Dyke pulled down seven rebounds.

Canyon Kuhlmann made two steals and had three assists.

Dalton Kreigel led the Warriors with six points.

Lynnville-Sully improved to 19-1 overall and 15-1 in SICL play. The Hawks finish the regular season at home Friday playing for the SICL championship.

New ownership system in place for NASCAR CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR has agreed on a franchise-like system with its team owners, one in which owning a team will now provide actual value.

The new system creates 36 “charters” that guarantee revenue and a starting position in what will now be a 40-car field. The charters are designed to give team owners something of value to offer potential investors and buyers. Should an owner no longer want to be in NASCAR, the charter itself can be sold.

Currently, owners only have old cars and equipment to sell away if a team closes. The 36 charters went to owners whose cars have attempted every race since 2013. The owners can keep the charters and field a car this year, or sell them to the highest bidder.

Boys Continued from Page 1B 32.9 seconds on the clock to make it 5844 going into the fourth quarter. Sturtz opened the final eight-minute period with a trey and a basket. Judkins and Sturtz traded two free throws as Newton was down by nine, 60-51, at the 6:42 mark.

A field goal by Roush and two more free throws by Sturtz made it a seven-point game, 62-55, with 5:11. Sturtz took a charging foul called on Pella’s Nick Finney, and the Cardinals had an opportunity to get closer. They missed twice on the ensuing possession.

After Pella’s Jackson Scholten missed both free throw attempts, the Cardinals lost the handle on a defensive rebound.

The loose basketball was controlled by Pella and Payson Vande Lune nailed a 3-pointer for a 65-55 lead at the 4-minute mark.

Newton got the deficit back to nine, 68-59, on a bucket by Sturtz and two free throws by Gholson with 1:37 remaining in the game. Will Warner drew a foul as Banfield fouled out and Liley was whistled for a technical. Warner went 1-of-2 at the line followed by Van Wyk hitting one of the two technical foul shots and Pella had the basketball.

The Little Dutch closed out the game by hitting four straight free throws in the final minute for the 74-59 win.

“Our guys always go out and compete.

I found this out quickly this season. Our guys never quit on any game, any possession or any moment out there,” Liley said. “They’re fighters and we’ll keep working to get better.”

Gholson finished with 17 points, four rebounds and three steals for Newton.

Sturtz tossed in 13 points, had five rebounds and four assists. Roush tallied 12 points and dished out three assists. Bennett and Banfield each had two assists.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s student section indicates a 3-pointer by Sydney Jenkins is good, pulling the Cardinal girls to within one point, 64-63, of Class 4A eighth-ranked Pella with 30 seconds left in Tuesday night’s game at Newton. Pella escaped with a 66-63 win.

Girls Continued from Page 1B throw by Emily Holterhaus.

Jenkins knocked down back-to-back treys, the second one coming at the quarter buzzer, and Newton was down by six points. Pella opened the second period with a 3-poitner by Kloe Lambert and two free throws from Chloe Van Vliet.

Down 28-12, Rhoads broke through the Pella press and made a pass to senior post player Jessica Reynolds.

Reynolds drove down the baseline for a basket. Pella’s final 3-pointer of the game was delivered by Vander Molen at the 3:21 mark to push her team’s lead to 31-20.

The Lady Dutch went on a 8-4 run, but Jenkins kept Newton within reach with a 3-pointer just before the break. Newton was down 3927 at halftime.

Sharp said he likes to hoard his timeouts, but he was out of his comfort zone going into the second half with just two timeouts remaining.

“I just used the timeouts in the first half when we needed them. There were a couple times we got trapped in their press and needed a timeout, so I took it,” Sharp said.

Newton was down 42-29

when Jenkins was fouled on a 3-point field goal attempt.

She sank all three free throws to trigger a 9-0 run by the Cardinals. They got baskets from Reynolds, Jenkins and junior Ellie Horn.

The Cardinals had the deficit trimmed to 43-38 with 3:24 left in the third quarter.

A couple of turnovers led to quick transition baskets for Pella and the Lady Dutch extend their lead to 51-38.

Back came the Cardinals.

Rhoads downed two foul shots then pulled down a defensive rebound, drove to just outside the 3-point arc, spotted up and drilled a trey. Going into the fourth quarter, Newton trailed 52-43.

The Lady Dutch appeared to pull away for good in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter taking a 58-45 lead. Not so.

Jenkins nailed a 3-pointer followed by a steal by Rhoads leading to a fastbreak bucket by Rausch. Rausch was fouled, missed the free throw but Reynolds gathered in the rebound to score. The Cardinals cashed in a steal by Rausch with a follow shot by Hutchinson.

Newton was within four points, 58-54, with four minutes remaining in the game.

Holterhaus scored on an offensive rebound for Pella.

Jenkins answered with a trey.

Newton was behind 64-58 and turned the ball over.

Rhoads swiped it right back and scored. Sharp took one of his last two timeouts.

He said bench players Taylor Moon and Taylor Shipley went in at the end of the game to execute what he wanted to force Pella to put the ball in hands of the player Newton wanted it to be in so the Cardinals could foul.

Newton had fouls to give to get to seven so the Lady Dutch had to go to the line for a one-and-one. Annika Pingel missed at the line and Newton got the rebound to set up Jenkins’ final 3-pointer.

Sharp called his final timeout with 28 seconds on the clock.

“We kept battling back one stop at a time. Every one contributed tonight. There’s no secret formula for us — take care of the ball, get a shot on offense and hold them to one shot on defense. That was the formula the second half,” Sharp said.

“Pella has these spurts offensively from six points to 20 points, and tonight, we did a nice job of containing their spurts.”

Unofficially, the Cardinals shot 46 percent, 23-of-50, from the field and the Lady Dutch we’re 23-of-41 for 56 percent. Each team ended up with eight 3-pointers. Pella hit

12-of-18 free throw attempts to Newton’s 9-of-16.

“Our girls played so well tonight. They had each other’s back, which feels like we’re back where we were earlier in the season. It is where we need to be and can be as we head into the playoffs,” Sharp said.

“Ellie Horn had her best game of the season.”

Jenkins led all scorers with 23 points and Rhoads added 13 points. Pella (18-2, 10- 1 LHC) got 22 points from Vander Molen and 11 from Bradley.

Newton goes into its final regular-season game Friday with a 10-10 mark. The Cardinals are 4-7 in Little Hawkeye Conference play and host Norwalk in a conference contest for Senior Night.

Newton’s junior varsity beat Pella, 44-38, Tuesday.

Taylor Ryan paced the Cardinals with 15 points and Ali Bestell added eight.

The Maytag Dairy Farms local producer of Maytag Blue Cheese is accepting applications for positions in Packaging/Production Daytime shift, limited weekends, excellent company benefits.

E.O.E es, consider it lucky -- it’s the perfect backdrop to highlight your inner shine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Don’t assume your opinion is similar to the rest. You’re looking at the same thing everyone else is looking at and yet you’re seeing something completely different. Speak up. They need to hear you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Sure, you need to make living and/or make your way in the world, just like everyone else.

Still, you have a bigger vision in mind. You have a burning need to enrich the world with your presence. You will succeed in this today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Why

do people think that it’s bad luck to state your good luck aloud. Truly, there is no reason to knock on wood. Count your blessings and watch them multiply as you do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Weak and ineffective decisionmaking happens when the person who makes the decision is not the one who bears the consequence of that decision.

You can affect great change by applying this truth.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Courteous and obliging -- that’s your nature. It is because of your application of good manners and social graces (and not in spite of it) that you are able to lay down boundaries that others will respect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Once you know what you want to do, you have the audacity to commit your whole self to it. Until then, you’re wise to dip a finger or a toe in. They will want more from you, but you don’t owe anyone any promises.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You root for the success of your loved ones. There may be tinges of jealousy there, too, though you’ve nothing to worry about. In pushing someone up the hill, you’ll get closer to the top.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You do not give your trust easily, and yet you realize that to some degree everyone can be trusted. But trusted to do what?

That is the question. Trust is really a matter of prediction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You know that life is not about acquiring things or collecting achievements, and yet those goals do keep you in the path most likely for “life” to happen upon you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You deliver praise lavishly and without expectation of reciprocation. This is not only generous, but also smart. Later, when you have a wish or comment that may be considered a bit sensitive or critical, you will be well-received.
