Progress Industries names new CEO

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Citizens turn out to see what changes will be made to North Fourth Avenue West and had questions answered by local officials Tuesday at the Newton Public Works open house. The reconstruction project is planned for later this year

Strong turnout for Fourth Avenue open house Reconstruction plans presented to public

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A large crowd turned out Tuesday for the North Fourth Avenue West reconstruction open house at Newton Public Works.

Preliminary design plans were laid out for the work planned from West Eighth Street North to West 15th Street North.

“We’re going to make it 31 feet wide so there

will be a parking lane and two driving lanes. Basically, each curb will get bumped out three feet,” Newton Public Works Director Keith Laube said.

Currently, the road is 25 feet wide with no designated parking areas.

The city allows parking on the south side of the road during the weekend, but Laube said that is not ideal.

During the reconstruction, drain tiles will be placed in the road to help drain the subgrade.

Laube said in the current road, there are several bumpy areas where it had previously been back-filled with clay and sand which caused frost heaves. Those areas will be cut out to make the subgrade more uniform for a smoother street.

Bid through the Iowa

Department of Transportation, Laube expects bids to open in June with the Newton City Council reviewing the reconstruction plans for approval in July.

“Likely this will be a late summer and fall project in 2016,” Laube said.

Once construction starts, homeowners on the road will have limited access to their driveways during certain periods of the project.

OPEN HOUSE | 3A

Sandy Ham has been named the new president and CEO of Progress Industries the company’s board of trustees announced Tuesday.

Ham will take over the role from interim president and CEO Kelly Decker who stepped in following former President and CEO Jim Merulla’s resignation from the position in December. Ham will also serve as the president and CEO of the PI Foundation.

Ham’s resume includes Ham more than 30 years of operational leadership and financial management.

In her last position, Ham served as director of finance for the Whirlpool Corporation in Amana. Ham also holds a degree in accounting from the University of Northern Iowa.

“Sandy brings the right combination of experience, interests, character and a passion to help further the mission of Progress Industries. We look forward to working with her as she builds upon our accomplishments and supports the organization to have an even greater impact in the future,” Decker said.

Ham currently lives at Lake Ponderosa near Montezuma. She takes the reins following former CEO Merulla, who was named to the position last January. Dan Skokan held the post previously, from September 2003 until his retirement in 2014.

County sets 5 year plan for secondary roads

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Bridge work was a main theme of the secondary roads five year construction program public hearing held Tuesday by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

Along with the bridge projects, the presentation laid out plans for roads, drain tiling, asphalt overlays and additional construction jobs across the county.

Jasper County Engi-

neer Russ Stutt, along with engineer assistant Pam Olson, highlighted upcoming projects scheduled to take place this year. They also provided a detailed plan for the next five years, which begins with fiscal year 2017 and ends in 2021.

Stutt started the hearing with a discussion on the maintenance schedule for the upcoming year.

“Last year we only got about 16 miles done, this year we are hoping

to get about 30 miles,” Stutt said.

The discussion then moved to the construction program including bridges, asphalt overlay and drain tiling. Bridges in the program include the bridge on Highway T12 over the North Skunk River set for replacement as well as the bridge on County Road F17 over the North Skunk River which will not see work for at least a year.

Former care facility demolition plans moving forward Bid packets available to contractors on Feb. 24

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Progress continues toward the demolition of the former Jasper County Care Facility as the Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the demolition project documents

and advertisements for bids on Tuesday. Bid packets are set to be released at an on-site inspection at 2 p.m. Feb. 24.

Following a 10-day review process, contractors are required to submit bids on March 4. The board will then open the bids on March 8.

Norman Rozendaal, owner of Rozendaal Tiling and Septic had several questions for the supervisors about details of the project. He started by asking about the desires or intentions of the county for the material left over after demolition including brick, stone

recycled even if it was brought to the landfill. He said if the contractor chose to do that, it would most likely be the more expensive route to take.

and additional material.

“Is there some way the county can use that, can it be hauled to county sites where it can be used? Would you like it recycled in some type of manner?” Rozendaal asked.

Supervisor Joe Brock said the contractor has the choice of what they want to do with the material, but one way or another, it would probably be

‘Risen’ showing Sunday at Capitol II Theatre Churches partner for free movie screening

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Kellogg United Methodist Church and Pleasant View churches are partnering to host a free screening of the film “Risen” at 10 a.m. Sunday at the Capitol II Theatre.

This is the first time the churches have held an event at the theater, following many movie nights at the churches.

“We believe as his disciples, that the work of Jesus can’t be done only within the walls of our buildings. So, with the help of the holy spirit, we developed what we call ‘bridge events’ that get us out into the community where we can meet people and they can get to know us and Jesus better,” the Reve. Tim Morgan said.

Morgan hopes through these events, people who may not feel comfortable going to a church building will feel comfortable out in the public, in this case, at a movie theater.

“Since this new movie about Jesus was coming out, it seemed a good opportunity for us to share him with people out in the community where they live. We can say Jesus loves them, but if we provide them with an opportunity to relax and enjoy a movie and some refreshments, free of any expense to themselves, it makes that love a little more real,” Morgan said.

The churches will make the theater experience their Sunday worship time with announcements, prayer and a few songs. The movie will serve as the sermon for the week.

“We are excited about singing some contemporary praise songs on the big screen with the high-tech sound system,” Morgan said.

CMA to host new mens, womens studies Community Heights Alliance will host two new Bible studies for men and women starting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the church, 2500 S. 13th Ave. E. in Newton.

The men will read “Uncommon” by Tony Dungy, and the women wil read “The Best Yes” by Lysa Terkeurst.

There will also be two other days to attend the women’s study — 9 a.m. Fridays and 6:30 p.m.

Wednesdays.

For more information, call 641-792-1620.

UCC to host upcoming three-part film series Congregational United Church of Christ will host a three-part film series, viewing and discussion of “A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity” at the church, 308 E. Second St. N. in Newton.

A Path Appears tells the heartrending and inspiring stories of women and girls who have experienced exploitation and oppression across the United States and around the globe and those who are working with them and our systems to bring about transformation and to eliminate gender inequality and the roots of vulnerability.

Episode 1: Sex Trafficking in the USA will be shown at 6:30 p.m. on March 3. Episode 2: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty and Episode 3: Violence and Solutions will be shown at 6:30 p.m. on April 7 and May 5, respectively.

These events are free and open to the public.

Contact the Rev. Jessica Petersen with any questions at 641-792-3773.

Colfax’s Christian Church to host Lenten services

Morgan hopes by watching the movie, people will understand Jesus is the risen son of God, and he lives today. He can change people lives, if they let him, he said.

“Even believers often don’t realize that the resurrection of Jesus was not a one day event. He was on earth in his resurrected body for over month and appeared to many

Howard Street Christian Church will host five weeks of remaining Lenten services at the church, in Colfax.

Each service will begin with coffee time at 5 p.m. and a concert at 6 p.m., where a freewill offering will be accepted.

The performance schedule is: Sunday, Highway Home; Feb. 28, Christian Brothers; March 6, Ambassadors; March 13, Loynachans; and March 20, Journey Bound.

This will be the last time the church will host Journey Bound as they group is retiring.)

during this time,” Morgan said. “The movie is about this period and how people at that time experienced this.”

Following the movie, those who are interested are invited to gather at Pizza Ranch to discuss the film.

Pope gives tough love to Mexico’s political, church elite MEXICO CITY (AP) — Pope Francis challenged Mexico’s political and ecclesial elites on Saturday to provide their people with security, justice and courageous pastoral care to confront the drug-inspired violence and corruption that are wracking the country, delivering a tough-love message to Mexico’s ruling classes on his first full day in the country.

The raucous welcome Francis received from an estimated 1 million cheering Mexicans who lined his motorcade route seven-deep contrasted sharply with his pointed criticism of how church and state leaders here have often failed their people, especially the poorest and most marginalized.

“Experience teaches us that each time we seek the path of privileges or benefits for a few to the detriment

of the good of all, sooner or later the life of society becomes a fertile soil for corruption, drug trade, exclusion of different cultures, violence and also human trafficking, kidnapping and death, bringing suffering and slowing down development,” he told government authorities at the presidential palace.

In a subsequent hard-hitting speech to his own bishops, Francis challenged church leaders known for their deference to Mexico’s wealthy and powerful to courageously denounce the “insidious threat” posed by the drug trade and not hide behind their own privilege and careers.

He told them to be true pastors, close to their people, and to develop a coherent plan to help Mexicans “finally escape the raging waters that drown so many, either victims of the drug trade or those who stand be-

fore God with their hands drenched in blood, though with pockets filled with sordid money and their consciences deadened.”

The speech was met with tepid applause, with only a handful of bishops standing in ovation.

Francis’ entire five-day trip to Mexico is shining an uncomfortable spotlight on the church’s shortcomings and the government’s failure to solve entrenched social ills that plague many parts of the country — poverty, rampant drug-inspired gangland killings, extortion, disappearances of women, crooked cops and failed public services.

Over the coming days, Francis will travel to the crime-ridden Mexico City suburb of Ecatepec, preach to Indians in poverty-stricken Chiapas, offer solidarity to victims of drug violence in Morelia and, fi-

nally, pay respects to migrants who have died trying to reach the United States with a cross-border Mass in Ciudad Juarez.

The grueling schedule appeared to be already taking a toll: By Saturday evening, Francis seemed tired and winded. He appeared to doze off during Mass and lost his balance and fell into a chair set up for him to pray before the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

The 79-year-old Francis has had an exhausting two days, with backto-back public events, dozens of kilometers (miles) spent standing in his popemobile and a seven-hour time zone difference. In addition, Mexico City’s altitude of more than 7,000 feet provides a challenge to anyone not acclimatized, perhaps more for Francis who lost part of one lung as a young man.

Rozendaal also asked if the board had any type of expectation of the total cost of the project from the design firm.

Both Brock and supervisor Dennis Stevenson said they have no expectations of costs and Shive-Hattery, the design firm in charge of the project, has been hesitant to give any numbers.

Stevenson did say if the board wanted an estimate, the firm would be able to provide them with an idea, but currently they are staying open to what contractors bring back.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Jasper County Supervisors approved demolition documents and advertisements for bids for the former Jasper County Care Facility at Tuesday’s meeting. Bid packets for contractors will be available Feb. 24 during an on-site inspection.

Finally, Rozendaal asked if a time frame had been set on the project.

“If a time frame was given it would give the contractor more of a road map on where to go on price,” Rozendaal said.

Currently, the board does not have a firm time frame, but a date will be

set for completion.

“We want to give them plenty of time just for that reason. We don’t have to be in a hurry, and if we can get a better bid, we can give them plenty of time. I do know that there will be a date, but it will be plenty of time so it will not raise the bid,”

Stevenson said.

In other business, the board approved a quote from Oden Enterprises, Inc. for $136,782 to purchase steel to be used on five bridge projects.

Roads Continued from Page 1A “The bridge over T12 with hopefully be let in May for a total rebuild,” Olsen said.

Asphalt overlay is planned for three miles north of Kellogg on the road that leads to Rock Creek State Parks, on Highway T22 west into Sully and on South 44th Street from Highway 14 to the Reasnor road. Longitudinal drain tile will be put in on Highway T12, Highway F36 and on Highway F62 between Highway 14 and Highway 136.

“They are longitudinal sub drains to help get the moisture out from underneath the slab,” Olsen said.

Additional projects slated for the next fiscal year include culvert replacements on North Fourth Avenue East over Elk Creek, on Pinion Avenue over Pleasant Run Creek and on South 112th Avenue East, South 104th Avenue West and East 116th Street South over Small Stream.

Another project partners with the City of Colfax for pavement rehabilitation on South League Road from Highway 117 North to city limits.

The five year plan is subject to changes depending on finances, structure priority and additional factors including weather and fluctuating costs.

“It’s a good road map to get started but so many things can change. From flooding to constantly changes projects ... at least we are making some progress in the right direction,” supervisor Dennis Stevenson said.

Funding for the projects in the place come from a variety of places including federal aid, state administered farm-to-market funding and the local budget.

For additional information about projects in the five year plan or a complete list through fiscal year 2021, contact the county engineer’s office at 641-792-5862.

Newton ‘well represented’ at the Des Moines Home & Garden Show Newton Daily News Hundreds of show goers stopped by the Get to Know Newton booth at last week’s Des Moines Home & Garden Show, visited with community volunteers and signed up to win season tickets to Iowa Speedway. According to those who staffed the booth, Newton was very well represented at the event.

“I thought our booth looked very professional, and it was really easy to identify where we were from and provided some quick info about our community,” said Natalie Umsted, senior analyst with the City of Newton. “We had a great opportunity to talk with many, many people

at the show, and I’m sure a lot more people are aware of Newton’s many benefits as a result.”

Volunteers from the Newton Housing Development Corporation, the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, Newton Development Corporation, Newton Convention & Visitors Bureau and the City of Newton participated, and the organizations will share all information from contacts made at the four day show.

Babbling Brooks

Time for an equipment (May)tagout

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Feb. 17, 2016

When I first told my co-workers at the Washington County Enterprise in Nebraska I was about to join a newspaper staff in Newton, Iowa, a few were jealous I’d be so close to Iowa Speedway.

None of them mentioned Newton being the former home of the Maytag Corporation, or it being the birthplace of the modern washing machine.

When I started talking to people around Newton, however, I learned plenty about the Maytag history and how Newton became an amazing piece of the American industrial landscape. In many traceable ways, Newton still is the grandfather of home appliances as we know them today.

It makes perfect sense to hear proud descriptions of how Iowans and their family members helped continue the fascinating production runs, whether it was from someone with a strong family history tied to the plant or watching and listening as historian Ken Barthelman explains the significance of each piece of Maytag

history.

However, as a newcomer, it seems like Newton has fallen into a familiar mental trap.

While there is an obvious economic hurdle to climb with the loss of a large manufacturer, there are psychological hurdles to clear as well. It feels to me like the frequency with which the Maytag closure is brought up, along with the context where I hear it, shows there is still a more forward-looking focus that needs to be dialed in further.

The same mental toughness and spirit of teamwork that helped keep the plant going for all those years is still here, and there ought to be more focus on using those same intangibles and clearly seen tangible attributes to build a Newton and a Jasper County that continues to endure the turbulence of the decades ahead.

There is much to celebrate — not only the long lineage of blue-collar work ethic that produced machines for the entire nation and a tradition of proud

workmanship, but also assets that are still around. Newton has some nice things other Midwestern towns don’t have, such as a drive-in movie theater, a recently renovated bowling alley and true jewels in the Maytag Bowl and Maytag Park.

There is also a relatively even balance of agriculture, light and medium industry and some white-collar business still here, so the focus shouldn’t be as heavily aimed at a past that’s been lost.

Why not take the best parts of the Maytag atmosphere and use those to build a city that still works hard and succeeds in the 21st century?

If I would have grown up in Newton, it’s doubtful I would appreciate a newcomer with a bigcity background coming in telling us “Hey, Whirlpool won, it’s done, get over it.” But I might still appreciate someone acknowledging a gigantic turn of events while being willing to dig in, shoulder-to-shoulder with those who grew up here and work toward

solutions.

In the places I’ve lived, I’ve seen seafood-based communities in Maryland decimated by poisoned waters, an aerospace and defense-based California economy with project-oriented employment and the decaying of the historic and now-shuttered Dana College. Only a prevailing, victorious attitude, coupled with an eye on the past that spots strengths and positive qualities that can be replicated, will help Newton move into the post-Maytag mental era.

March 31 will mark 10 years since the Whirlpool acquisition was completed. I’ve never heard anyone talk about the short-lived Mason-Maytag Motor Company as F.L. Maytag’s Waterloo manufacturing attempt that didn’t last; they talk about his washing-machine company that changed the world. That’s how Newton’s story should unfold as well.

American Conservative

Attitude trumped conservative thought

State View

Traffic cameras need oversight, regulation As we draw near the first legislative “funnel” deadline Friday, the pace of subcommittee work on various policy bills has picked up significantly. I was pleased to sponsor and chair the subcommittee for one particular bill that made it past the first funnel, House File 2109,

By Greg which deals with Heartsill the regulation of Iowa automated traf- Representative fic enforcement cameras (aka “traffic cams”).

Traffic cams have been a controversial issue ever since they were first implemented by Iowa cities several years ago. Primarily, the argument has been over whether the real purpose of these traffic enforcement devices is public safety or increased revenue for municipalities. The perception from the general public has typically sided with the latter argument.

When you consider that this type of traffic enforcement has been delegated to third-party, for-profit contractors that also benefit financially from citations issued from their machines and these same contractors are allowed to certify their own de-

vices without any oversight from the state, it is not difficult to see why most Iowans would draw this conclusion.

In years past, there have been several attempts in the Iowa Legislature to institute an outright ban on traffic cams given the numerous conflicts of interest these devices produce. All of which have been unsuccessful.

Still the fact remains that the public’s confidence in the stated justification for using traffic cams in not very high.

That is why I introduced House File 2109 this year to help provide some oversight and transparency to the usage and justification of traffic cams. Interestingly enough, traffic cam proponents argued, at the subcommittee hearing, that even proposed regulations would amount to an effectual ban on these units.

In 2014, the Iowa Department of Transportation put forth administrative rules that would govern the use of automated traffic enforcement on primary highway systems (interstates, U.S. and Iowa routes). These comprehensive rules establish standards that would include the rationale for initial implementation, signage, enforcement, accuracy and on-going evaluation to ensure the automated traffic enforcement device is achieving

the goal of better public safety.

Unfortunately, cities that utilize traffic cams on the primary highways have challenged the DOT’s authority to impose these rules.

House File 2109, as it was passed out of the House Public Safety committee, would clarify that the DOT has jurisdiction to implement and enforce these administrative rules. While this bill does not address the use of traffic cams on city streets and county roadways, it does however provide a good first step in addressing the need for consistent, statewide standards in the calibration, certification, and justification of automated traffic enforcement cameras in Iowa.

Saturday I will be holding town hall meetings in the following locations: Jasper County Farm Bureau Office at 7:30 a.m., Jasper County League of Women Voters at Newton Hy-Vee at 9 a.m., Monroe City Hall at 11 a.m. and Smokey Row in Pleasantville at 1 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.heartsill@legis.iowa.gov or when visiting the capitol. I appreciate and welcome your comments and feedback.

Until next time, God bless.

Last week, grassroots Republican favorite Donald Trump repeated the phrase when an audience member called T e d Cruz a “p — — .” He came to this c o n clusion after de- By Ben Shapiro termining that Cruz wasn’t sufficiently gung-ho about waterboarding possible terrorists. Asked to define conservatism at the last Republican debate, Trump stated, “I think it’s a person who doesn’t want to take overly risks. I think that’s a good thing.”

Establishment Republican favorite columnist David Brooks of The New York Times wrote a column called “I Miss Barack Obama.” In it, he pilloried Senators Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and lamented that Obama “radiates an ethos of integrity, humanity, good manners and elegance that I’m beginning to miss.” In October, Brooks defined conservatism thusly: “conservatism stands for intellectual humility, a belief in steady, incremental change, a preference for reform rather than revolution, a respect for hierarchy, precedence, balance and order, and a tone of voice that is prudent, measured and responsible.”

Neither of these definitions are correct, of course. But the fact that Trump and Brooks largely agree on the definition of conservatism while fighting each other tooth and nail demonstrates why conservatism is losing.

Both Trump and Brooks think that conservatism is mainly an attitude. It’s not a set of principles and policies; it’s not a philosophy of human freedom and small government.

Instead, conservatism is merely an orientation toward

change: Trump wants slow change, and so does Brooks.

So where do they disagree? They disagree about whether conservatism is militant attitude in pursuit of slow change (Trump) or whether conservatism is elegance in pursuit of slow change (Brooks). Trump thinks Brooks is a “p——,” presumably; Brooks thinks Trump is a vulgarian.

Neither one is actually conservative, and yet they’re fighting for the mantle of conservative leadership.

The problem, of course, is that conservatism has very little to do with attitude. Conservatism demands Constitutionalism, and in the aftermath of a century of progressive growth of government — including growth at the hands of so-called conservatives — change need not be gradual. The attitude matters less than the goal. We can have hardcharging conservatives like Mark Levin; we can have 10-dollar-word conservatives like many of the writers at National Review. What we can’t have is nonconservatives redefining conservatism as an attitude, and then ignoring the underlying philosophy.

Yet that’s precisely what we have in this race.

The entire Republican race thus far has avoided policy differentiations in favor of critiques of attitudes. Who is more palatable, the shifty-seeming Cruz, or the smoothtalking Rubio? Who is more worthwhile, the brusque Chris Christie or the milquetoast Jeb Bush?

Who cares?

Republicans have spent so long in the wilderness that they’ve forgotten what animated them in the first place. At some point, Republicans forgot that their job was to determine the best face for a conservative philosophy, and instead substituted the face for the philosophy. The conservatism simply fell away.

Utility phone scam targets Spanish-speaking customers Newton Daily News DES MOINES — MidAmerican Energy Company is warning business owners and the public of a phone scam targeting Latino customers in Iowa.

Since the start of February, approximately 50 Spanish-speaking customers have reported receiving a call from someone pretending to work for MidAmerican Energy who threatened to shut off their power immediately if payment was not made. Unfortunately, several customers reported losing money.

“Education is the best way to put a stop to these

scams,” said Terry Ousley, vice president, customer service for MidAmerican Energy. “We want to arm our Spanish-speaking communities with the knowledge they need to be able to protect themselves from falling victim. If ever in doubt about the legitimacy of a call, hang up and call us directly to check on your account. We have a Spanish speaking representative and interpreters available to help.”

How the Scam Works The scammers generally request payment in one of two ways: either on the phone using a credit card or by call-

CLASS A CDL DRIVERS

ing back a specific number, which often resembles MidAmerican Energy’s phone response system, and paying with a pre-paid (Green Dot) card. MidAmerican Energy accepts many different forms of payment. A specific payment method is never insisted upon when paying your bill.

The scammers are persistent and aggressive. They use sophisticated methods to trick customers, including Caller ID technology that makes the call appear as if it is coming from the utility when it is not.

Customers should hang up and call their local police

or MidAmerican Energy at 1-888-427-5632 if they receive a suspicious call.

Red flags it’s a scam 1. The caller is threatening immediate disconnection. Sometimes the caller will claim a crew is already en route to the business to disconnect service. MidAmerican Energy makes several attempts to contact customers regarding overdue bills; disconnection is a last resort, not a first step in the process.

2. The caller insists on a prepaid debit card (often a Green Dot card) as the only acceptable form of payment.

Painful topic of spousal sex abuse is swept under the rug DEAR ABBY: There is a topic I haven’t seen addressed in your column, namely being sexually abused by a spouse. I ended my marriage because my husband was waking me at 2 a.m. demanding sex. He expected me to have sex only a week after I had our baby, although my doctor had said I should wait six weeks. If I thought something he wanted me to do was degrading, he insisted I do it anyway.

It amazes me that the subject of spousal abuse isn’t mentioned in premarital counseling. No one seems willing to acknowledge this kind of abuse exists. Is there even a “survivors” network or support group to cope? I went to individual counseling, but it didn’t help me.

I think it would be helpful if society would acknowledge this kind of thing does happen. I also think that those who offer premarital counseling should be required to discuss the warning signs of a sexual abuser. — THE EX MRS. BROWN DEAR EX MRS. BROWN: It is interesting that this topic isn’t addressed more often, because domestic violence can happen to anyone and it shouldn’t be overlooked.

No one has the right to coerce a partner into doing something she or he doesn’t want to do, whether it’s done through physical violence or relentless verbal abuse.

When there is forced sex in a marriage, the name for it is marital or spousal rape. Like any other kind of rape, it is not an act of love but a way of asserting control and dominance. If you contact the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), it should be able to refer you to a support group for survivors. The toll-free number

to call is 800-656-4673. (You can also find it online at rainn.org.)

DEAR ABBY: How do you handle an ex-son-in-law who “confides” in his 9-year-old and 7-year-old children? My granddaughter came to me yesterday and said her dad told her he’s not going to pay child support and is going to quit his job. Now she is worried her daddy will become homeless and have to live on the street.

I know he is self-centered. He has started abusing narcotics and is moving in with a girl half his age. I told my granddaughter that no matter what happens, her mom and dad will always love her. There is court-ordered support, but none has been paid. Any advice would be appreciated. — GRANDPA IN MILWAUKEE DEAR GRANDPA: “Daddy” is not going to lose his apartment; he has CHOSEN to move in with his girlfriend. That’s a lot different than becoming homeless. Reassure your grandchildren, but do not lie. Your daughter should discuss with an attorney the fact that her ex isn’t meeting his child support obligation, and contact the state agencies that help to collect it.

AMES — An April trial has been scheduled for a former CyRide bus driver facing two charges after an Ames hit-and-run accident. Online court records say 23-yearold Benjamin Clague pleaded not guilty on Monday to leaving the scene of a fatal accident. He’d already pleaded not guilty to failing to obey a traffic control device. His trial is set to begin April 5. Authorities say Clague was driving the bus on Dec. 14 near the Iowa State campus when the bus struck 18-year-old Emmalee Jacobs.

3 Semi rollover causes diesel, deicer spill

SWISHER — A truck crash near Cedar Rapids caused deicer and diesel fuel to spill into a nearby creek and flow to Coralville Reservoir. The Iowa Department of Natural resources says the Monday rollover on Interstate 380 caused about 3,600 gallons of deicer and about 50 gallons of diesel to flow into McAllister Creek and then into Coralville Reservoir. An environmental contractor cut through the ice on McAllister Creek and placed booms in the water, soaking up some of the diesel fuel.

Man charged with sexually assaulting 2-month-old girl ALBIA — A man in southern Iowa has been charged with sexually assaulting a 2-month-old girl.

The Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office said Tuesday that deputies had charged the 30-year-old man with felony child endangerment and felony sexual abuse. Sheriff Daniel Johnson said deputies received a report of a child being sexually assaulted on Feb. 4. The child’s mother brought the infant to a local hospital, and she was transported to Blank Children’s Hospital; the infant is recovering.

5 Five arrested in connection with fatal shooting

VINTON — Five people have been charged in connection with the fatal accidental shooting of a 14-year-old girl in eastern Iowa. One of the five is a 52-yearold woman who faces a federal charge of providing a firearm to a prohibited person.

Authorities say she provided a semiautomatic rifle to her 16-year-old son, who she knew used marijuana. Emma Redlinger was shot in the head Feb. 24, 2015 —The Associated Press

Pipeline opponents ask board to consider new oil exports DES MOINES (AP) — Opponents of a proposed pipeline project in Iowa want the state utilities board to take additional evidence that crude oil produced in the United States is now being shipped overseas, which would bolster their argument that North Dakota oil to be shipped through the so-called Bakken pipeline may have no benefits for Iowa.

It’s been more than two months since the Iowa Utilities Board ended hearings and gathering documents on the project, which would stretch diagonally across 1,300 parcels of land and 18 counties in Iowa at a cost of $1 billion.

Board members began deliberations last week on whether to grant a hazardous liquid pipeline permit to

Dakota Access, a Texas-based company owned by major petroleum industry players, and whether the company can use eminent domain to force owners of 296 parcels of land to allow the pipeline to be buried on their property.

At issue is a 2006 law that prohibits private development of agriculture land without the owner’s consent — unless the developer is a utility. The board must decide whether Dakota Access meets the definition of a utility, such as an electricity or telephone provider. Opponents say it isn’t because it provides no service directly to Iowa residents.

Pipeline opponents claim it is not because there is no assurance the project will provide even an indirect service to Iowa residents, much less

be a “public convenience and necessity” as required by law.

But Dakota Access has said the consumers will benefit by helping to reduce U.S. reliance on imported oil, stabilizing prices and improving national security. The company said the project creates jobs and provides an economic benefit to local communities during construction. It also contends that moving oil via pipeline is safer than rail or truck transportation.

At the time of the hearings, which ended in December, a 40-year ban on the export of domestically produced crude oil was in place. But Congress approved a bill that repealed the long-standing ban on Dec. 18, and two weeks later, ConocoPhillips sent a cargo ship loaded with Texas crude oil to

Medicaid leader: Iowa ready for privatization despite issues DES MOINES (AP) — The state of Iowa is ready to offer its Medicaid program under private management on March 1, a state official insisted on Tuesday despite remaining issues and multiple criticisms from a legislative panel.

Mikki Stier, Medicaid director for the Iowa Department of Human Services, presented documentation to lawmakers on an appropriations subcommittee that showcased some of those lingering issues. They included department efforts on expanding the network of health care providers around the state that will offer Medicaid services under managed care, and ensuring complete case management coverage for patients with certain needs like developmental disabilities.

Stier said the department otherwise had ad-

dressed the issues that prevented the state from advancing with managed care on Jan. 1.

“The state’s ready,” she said. “The state was ready in January, we’re more ready now.”

The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services must give final approval on managed care before Iowa can proceed with its plans for the $4.2 billion program, which provides health care to 560,000 poor and disabled residents, including children. CMS listed concerns over Iowa’s readiness in delaying the switch from Jan. 1 to March 1. It said it would monitor progress on several issues, including network coverage and case management.

Sen. Robert Dvorsky, D-Coralville, criticized the documentation provided by DHS, which implied that the recommen-

dations by CMS had been fully addressed. He noted some points had a “completed” description next to them despite needed work. DHS director Charles Palmer explained that there were some references in the documents to how the agency was still monitoring some transition actions.

“I think we’re misleading people here by saying these things are completed when they’re not,” Dvorsky replied.

Other lawmakers pointed to lingering confusion from Medicaid recipients about how they will receive care under the new system. Some health care providers have also expressed concerns about the potentially negative financial impact of new reimbursement rates for Medicaid coverage that would be paid under the three private insurance companies.

Italy. Another ship left in early January to deliver light crude to Europe.

Des Moines attorney William Hanigan, who represents landowners opposing the pipeline, said the board was informed during hearings that the type of light crude oil to be transported by the pipeline had no foreign marketplace and would remain in the country for domestic use.

“This understanding is incorrect,” he said in a motion filed Thursday for a reopened record to consider the new information.

Dakota Access’ attorney filed a document Monday resisting such a reopening.

“The application before the board is for new, safe, efficient shipping of domestic oil from the Bakken to a hub at Patoka,

Illinois where shippers want to move oil,” Bret Dublinske said. “What happens after that point does not impact whether this project promotes the public convenience and necessity.”

Iowa is the only state yet to approve the permit for the $3.78 billion Bakken pipeline, which will carry about a half-million barrels of oil per day from North Dakota to Illinois, crossing through Iowa and South Dakota. The project also must receive approval from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers because the pipeline will be tunneled underneath the Mississippi River.

The board has scheduled another deliberation meeting for Friday, and a board spokesman says the board can rule on the motion to reopen the record at any time.

Branstad joins 16 governors for clean energy, transportation agreement SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Governors from 17 states, including Iowa, said Tuesday they will work together to develop cleaner energy and transportation as they look to lead a national shift to renewable fuels.

The states vary widely in their approach and sources of fuel, but the biparBranstad tisan group said its goal is to cooperate on planning and policies.

The pact — known as the Governors’ Accord for a New Energy Future — calls for embracing new energy solutions to expand the economy and protect the health of communities and natural resources.

“We believe that this is a robust driver of economic growth, not a brake on economic growth,” Wash-

ington state Gov. Jay Inslee said in a conference call with reporters.

The governors purposely avoided mentioning the divisive issue of climate change and instead concentrated on how states can cooperate, California Gov. Jerry Brown said.

He said that includes building more sophisticated, energy-efficient regional electrical grids; pooling buying power to get cheaper clean-energy vehicles for state fleets; and lobbying the federal government for more research and development on energy storage, clean fuels and the electric grid.

Other participating governors are from Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia.

Senior advisers of the governors expect to meet soon to discuss the initial steps to meet the goals.

Obama chides senators to ‘do their job,’ vote on court pick WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is challenging Republicans to live up to their avowed adherence to the Constitution and agree to vote on his nominee to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. A key Republican is leaving the door open to taking the first step.

Despite widespread GOP insistence that he leave the decision to the next president, Obama said Tuesday he had no intention of abdicating his responsibilities before leaving office early next year. He chidingly told the Senate he expects “them to do their job as well.”

“The Constitution is pretty clear about what’s supposed to happen now,” Obama said before returning to Washington from California.

Fallout from Scalia’s unexpected death overshadowed Obama’s two days of summitry with Southeast Asian leaders. Obama pledged to nominate a candidate “indisputably” qualified, but Republican leaders have threatened to refuse to hold hearings or a vote on his pick to replace the conservative Scalia.

Yet there were hints that at least some Republicans might come around. Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said he would wait “until the nominee is made before I would make any decision” about holding hearings, boosting White House hopes for getting a third justice confirmed on Obama’s watch.

With the looming nomination creating ripples in the presiden-

tial campaign, Obama sought to broaden his argument by calling the dispute emblematic of years of escalating partisan hostilities over judicial nominations. He lamented a new normal in which “everything is blocked” even when there’s no ideological or substantive disagreement — and conceded that Democrats are not blameless “This would be a good moment for us to rise above it,” Obama said.

Court officials said Scalia’s body will lie in repose on Friday in the Supreme Court’s Great Hall, after a private ceremony. The funeral mass Saturday will take place at the Basilica of the National Shrine

of the Immaculate Conception in Washington.

Since Scalia’s unexpected death at a Texas ranch over the weekend, White House lawyers and advisers have been scrambling to identify potential replacements, while also devising a strategy to get a nominee confirmed.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he doesn’t think Obama should put a candidate forward. The Kentucky senator joined several Republicans up for re-election in declaring that Obama should let voters in November weigh in on the direction of the court through their vote for president.

Apple to fight order to help FBI unlock shooter’s iPhone WASHINGTON (AP) — Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook says his company will fight a federal magistrate’s order to help the FBI hack into an encrypted iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino, California shooters. The company said that could potentially undermine encryption for millions of other users.

Cook’s response, posted early Wednesday on the company’s website, set the stage for a legal fight between the federal government and Silicon Valley with broad implications for digital privacy and national security.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym had ordered Apple to help the FBI break into an iPhone belonging to Syed Farook, one of the shooters in the Dec. 2 attack that killed 14 people. Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, died in a gun battle with police.

The ruling by Pym, a former federal prosecutor, requires Apple to supply software the FBI can load onto Farook’s county-owned work iPhone to bypass a self-destruct feature that erases the phone’s data after too many unsuccessful attempts to unlock it.

The FBI wants to be able to try different combinations in rapid sequence until it finds the right one.

The Obama administration has embraced stronger encryption as a way to keep consumers safe on the Internet but has struggled to find a compelling example to make its case.

Cook said “this moment calls for public discussion, and we want our customers and people around the country to understand what is at stake.” He argued that the order “has implications far beyond the legal case at hand.” He said it could undermine encryption by using specialized software to create an essential back door akin to a “master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks.”

“In the wrong hands, this software — which does not exist today — would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone’s physical possession,” Cook wrote.

Cardinal girls win district title, heading to 2A state

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Submitted photo Newton High’s Cardinal girls are the 2016 Class 2A District 4 champions, qualifying for their second straight 2A state bowling tournament. The Cardinals won the district title Tuesday at Val Lanes in West Des Moines. Pictured are, from left, Newton head coach Brett Jacobs, Lizzy Coyle, Madison Humphrey, Alexis Etter, Mariah Gonzales, Kaytie Hughes, Kayla Sopher and assistant coach Seth Banwell.

WEST DES MOINES — Bowling on familiar lanes, Newton High’s Cardinal girls captured their second straight Class 2A district championship Tuesday.

Newton’s bowling teams rolled up conference titles at Val Lanes in West Des Moines Saturday, so the girls had a good tune-up for the District 4 tournament.

The Cardinal girls earned another trip to the Class 2A state tournament with the district championship.

Newton’s boys didn’t fare as well.

The Cardinal boys finished third with a total of 2,584, behind district champion Urbandale at

2,933 and Pella at 2,761. Oskaloosa was fourth with a 2,310 pin count.

“The girls peaked at the right time in the season,” Newton head coach Brett Jacobs said. “It was a good time to bowl their best of the season, shooting a match score high of 2,470.”

The Newton girls posted a leading 1,638 pin total through the two individual games Tuesday. They were up by 46 pins over Urbandale and 79 pins over Oskaloosa.

Newton did not let up in the Baker Games. The Cardinals opened with a 193 to kick-start an 832 total, which was the top Baker Games BOWLING | 3B

No. 14 Lynnville-Sully girls turn back GMG in 1A regional

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — A 12-3 scoring surge in the final four minutes of the second quarter provided some breathing room for the Class 1A 14th-ranked Lynnville-Sully’s girls.

The Hawks pushed to a 30-15 halftime lead over the GMG Wolverines.

It was what the Hawks needed to notch a 58-38 win in Class 1A Region 3 quarterfinal action Tuesday. Even with a 20-point lead, the Hawks couldn’t rest easy with a scrappy Wolverine team battling right to the end.

“We didn’t play our best game, but we did what we had to do to get the win,” Hawk senior post player Marissa Vos said. “The last three games have been rough. We’ll use this to start a new trend and move forward from here.”

After winning their first 18 games this seaJocelyn Sheets/Daily News On the drive is Lynnville-Sully’s Kasiah Ehresman (22) to get past a GMG defender son, the Hawks lost two in the second half of Tuesday’s Class 1A Region 3 contest at Sully.

ing forward, the Hawks (20-2) host North Tama (15-8) at 7 p.m. Friday in a regional semifinal.

Fifth-ranked Kee (202) plays Dunkerton (194) at 7 p.m. Friday in the other regional semifinal.

The 1A Region 3 championship game is Monday in Cedar Falls.

“The girls really came out with a lot of energy in the first few minutes of the game, which was good but also might have caused some of the ragged play,” Hawk head coach Jerry Hulsing said.

Lynnville-Sully had a slow start leading 5-4 with 4:27 left in the first quarter. Junior Brenna Lanser sparked a 9-2 run by the Hawks with two baskets. Vos had a basket and sophomore Camryn Russell netted a 3-pointer.

The Hawks led the Wolverines, 14-6, at the conclusion of the first quarter. GMG made it 14-10 by the 5:32 mark of the second period. Vos, who went 7-of-12 at the free-throw line, sank two

charities for the Hawks.

Senior guard Kasiah Ehresman stole the basketball leading to a basket by junior Makenzy Rosendaal. It was 18-12 when the Hawks went on a roll.

“We pressured the ball which caused them to have turnovers, helping us generate points. When we were running our offense, we scored to allow us to put up a big lead,” Vos said.

Ehresman sank two free throws then Lanser swiped the ball and went coast-to-coast for the layup. Freshman Carson Fisk had a putback giving the Hawks a 24-12 lead with 3:41 before halftime.

GMG’s Blaire Sonderleiter converted on a three-point play a minute later. Fisk answered with field goal followed by a basket from Vos. Fisk’s basket with 11.8 seconds left provided Lynnville-Sully with its 30-15 halftime advantage.

Underrated Mustangs look to prove worth at state tournament

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Prairie City-Monroe wrestling coach Cory Waddell spent the entire season wondering why his four state qualifiers continued to get overlooked by those who are in charge of the state’s weekly rankings.

The foursome, which includes junior Xavier Miller and freshmen Lucas Roland, Wes Cummings and Jarron Trausch, went a combined 154-16 this season.

Most of those losses came against ranked opponents and a lot of those wins came against quality competition as the Mustangs don’t shy away from wrestling at some of the tougher tournaments in the area.

Being ranked doesn’t

matter now. The PCM foursome is in the field for their weight classes and ready to prove they belong in the conversation with the rest of the state’s best.

“We have talked all year long about how these four kids are underrated,” Waddell said.

“I didn’t understand it, and even was upset about it for awhile, but it’s a good thing now.

We like to be under the radar, and now it’s time to go prove that we belong.”

It’s the first time at state for all four PCM wrestlers.

Miller (145) went 32-5 as a freshman and 34-7 as a sophomore last year. He was third in the district tournament both years but finally got MUSTANGS | 2B

Joe Gibbs Racing looks to stay hot, put a stop to Daytona 500 drought D A Y T O N A BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Joe Gibbs has made it perfectly clear to his drivers: Even if they win every exhibition race at Daytona International Speedway, it’s the Daytona 500 that matters most.

Gibbs won the Daytona 500 in 1993 with Dale Jarrett, but has failed to get a victory in NASCAR’s biggest race since. When Denny Hamlin won last week’s opening exhibition race, it was a mere consolation prize for Gibbs.

“The 500 is really, really special to him because he hasn’t won it in 23 years,” Hamlin said Tuesday at Daytona 500 media day. “That’s a big number for such a good organization.”

The Toyota contingent is typically strong at Daytona, and Matt Kenseth qualified on the front row for Sunday’s season opener. JGR was the only multi-car team to get all of its drivers in the top 10 during time trials.

Now, they want more and they are among the favorites heading into “The Great American Race.”

In his first race with JGR in 2008, Kyle Busch led 86 laps before fading to fourth in the final laps. Hamlin has three top-five finishes in his last four Daytona 500s, including a second-place showing in 2014 and fourth last year.

There were close calls when Tony Stewart drove for the organization, and 2013 was a heartbreaker as Matt Kenseth led 86 laps before his engine failed.

Iowa Speedway holding annual Daytona 500 watch party Sunday Newton Daily News NASCAR is back, which means it’s time to set politics aside and come together at Flix Brewhouse for the 58th running of the Daytona 500.

Iowa Speedway and Flix Brewhouse will host the Speedway’s 10th Annual Daytona 500 Watch Party on Sunday.

The bipartisan party starts at 11 a.m. and the green flag waves at noon.

All the action and heart-pumping drama of the 58th running of the “Great American Race” can be enjoyed from stadium seating with high-definition digital cinema projection and sound technologies, a 45-foot wallto-wall curved screen and

comfortable high back chairs.

Why watch the race at home?

“I can’t wait to rally with other race fans who share our passion for motorsports as we celebrate the opening of the 2016 NASCAR season,” Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said.

“Our Daytona 500 Viewing Party is a great way to prepare for Wide Opening Weekend at Iowa Speedway on June 18-19, which will kick off an exciting eight-race season at Iowa Speedway.”

The 10th Annual Daytona 500 Viewing Party is open to

the public, but seating is limited and advance reservations are required.

Fans may reserve a seat by purchasing a $10 food voucher. To make reservations visit www.flixbrewhouse.com/desmoines — Quick Buy or call 515-205-7820.

Flix Brewhouse will offer food and drinks for purchase, and fans will have the opportunity to win great prizes throughout the race, including “Re-Elect Iowa Speedway” campaign memorabilia and other Speedway merchandise.

Join the Iowa Speedway team and fellow NASCAR fans to kick off the 2016 NASCAR season in style at Flix Brewhouse, located in Merle Hay Mall, 3800 Merle Hay Road in Des Moines.

Iowa Speedway season tickets, which are currently on sale, include eight high-powered races over three weekends.

Wide Opening Weekend will feature both the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series during Father’s Day Weekend on June 18-19.

The second weekend of racing will showcase the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards and the IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300, Indy Lights and Pro Mazda Championship on July 9-10.

No. 25 Baylor survives tough test with No. 13 Iowa State

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe’s Wes Cummings, left, is one of three Mustang freshmen who will take part in the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships later this week. Cummings, ranked 10th, faces second-ranked Tommy Bradshaw of Greene County in the opening round Thursday night.

Mustangs

Continued from Page 1B over the hump with a runner-up finish this season. He lost to top-ranked Bryce Leshen 5-2 in the district final a week after coming within 6-5 to Leshen at the sectional meet.

Roland, Cummings and Trausch were impressive in their first high school seasons on the mat. Cummings is the only ranked wrestler of the four as he comes into the state meet ranked 10th at 152 pounds.

“We have taken the same mindset for all four guys because they are all heading to state for the first time,” Waddell said. “The number behind your name is just a number. We had the loosest week of practice that we’ve had all year. They are working hard and ready to go.”

The goal for all four wrestlers is to find a way onto the medal stand on Saturday night. To do that, each wrestler has to win at least two matches.

Miller may have the easiest path to achieving a medal. He’s 41-6 this season and 107-18 in his career. Miller will face Creston/Orient-Macksburg’s Mitchel Swank in his 145-pound opener Thursday night. Miller defeated Swank, 13-7, at the Dallas Center-Grimes Invitational earlier this season.

The PCM junior didn’t shy away from having the highest of expectations after he came up short against Leshen at districts.

He expects to win a state title.

“I am not going there to lose,” Miller said. “I will feel better about what I did this year after Saturday when we find out how the year ends.”

If Miller wins the rematch with Swank, he’ll either face fourth-ranked Trae Pecinovsky (39-5) of Crestwood or ninthranked John Tuttle (33-7) of Spirit Lake Park. Pecinovsky went 1-2 at 138 pounds at last year’s state tournament.

Miller has faced seven wres-

Roland

Trausch

tlers who will participate in the state tournament. He was 3-5 in those matches.

“Swank is a quality wrestler, but I am pleased with that matchup,” Waddell said. “Xavier handled him fairly easily the first time around. The draw could have been much tougher.”

Roland (40-2) comes into the week with 22 straight wins. His only two losses have come to Class 1A No. 6 Austin Pontier of Interstate 35 and 3A No. 8 Mason Hulse of Boone. Both of those wrestlers are also competing at state this week.

Roland has wins over three 3A grapplers this year, including a 4-2 win over Oskaloosa’s Drew Sams, who is ranked ninth at 132 heading into the state tourney.

“I am happy with winning a district title, but all that matters is how I do this week,” Roland said. “It’s more than I thought I’d do this first year, but at the same time I have bigger goals.”

Roland opens the tourney with seventh-ranked Connor Ascherl (33-3) of MOC-Floyd Valley. Ascherl was seventh at 132 last year.

Also on the same side of Roland’s bracket is Clear Lake standout Ryan Leisure, who defeated PCM’s Tristan Clark in last year’s 126-pound title bout. Leisure is 43-1 and the overwhelming favorite to win another title.

“I think Lucas matches up well with his first-round opponent,” Waddell said. “He has been in some big matches in his career. He’s not afraid of anyone. He won’t shy away from Leisure that’s for sure.”

Cummings (35-3) gets a familiar face in his opening-round match as he drew second-ranked Tommy Bradshaw of Greene County. Those two met in a Heart of Iowa Conference dual this year and faced off in the HOIC tournament championship match. Bradshaw is 2-0 against Cummings with 10-5 and 6-2 wins.

But defeating a wrestler like Cummings three times in one season won’t be easy.

“We are actually happy with this matchup,” Waddell said.

“We have been working on a few things that we think can help us, and it’s tough to beat anyone three times in one season. A win would give Wes a ton of confidence, but if he happens to lose that first one, the backside will give us a good opportunity.”

Cummings’ side of the bracket features three ranked wrestlers and three wrestlers with 11 losses each.

Three of Trausch’s (38-5) five losses were against ranked opponents who also will compete at state this week.

Trausch lost to 1A No. 3 Noah Huber, 10-6, earlier this season. Huber is undefeated on the year and the favorite to win the 1A title.

“There is no doubt that Jarron Trausch should be ranked, and he will show that Thursday night,” Waddell said.

Trausch opens the tourney against ninth-ranked Michael Kent (33-9) of Iowa Falls-Alden.

A win in that match likely puts him up against fourth-ranked Nick Holt of Independence in Friday’s quarterfinals.

The 2A portion of the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships kicks off at 6 p.m. Thursday night. Friday’s quarterfinals and second-round consolations start at 2:30 p.m., while the semifinals and thirdround consolations begin at 8:45 p.m. Friday.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Maybe Baylor coach Scott Drew can figure out a way for Johnathan Motley to feel like he’s facing Iowa State all the time.

Motley scored seven of his 27 points in overtime, matching his career high set last month against the same 13thranked Cyclones, and the 25th-ranked Bears ended a three-game Big 12 home losing streak with a 100-91 victory Tuesday night.

“We’re going to make sure someone has an Iowa State jersey every time we play,” Drew said.

Playing without big man Rico Gathers, who missed his second game in the last three because of illness, the team that has been so good on the road in the Big 12 (league best-matching 4-2) won again in the Ferrell Center. The Bears had last won a home conference game in double overtime against Kansas State on Jan. 20, 10 days before beating Georgia in the Big 12-SEC Challenge.

“I wouldn’t say we’re more focused. I just think we just know the things we have to do better when he’s out,” Taurean Prince said of Gathers. “Just leadership, everybody knew what was at stake. Even before the game, we talked about it being a must win.”

There were 14 ties and 14 lead changes in the game that began with both teams having identical records.

Terry Maston had 15 points for Baylor, while Medford, Prince and Al Freeman all had 14. Motley had 10 rebounds.

The Cyclones (18-8, 7-6) had three 20-point scorers: Abdel Nader with 26, Georges Niang with 24 and Monte Morris with 20. Burton had 14.

Iowa State just missed winning the game at the end of regulation, but instead suffered its third overtime loss on the road in the Big 12.

The Newton boys finished third as a team at district to concluded their season.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Applying pressure on GMG’s Josie Claassen (33) is Lynnville-Sully’s Brenna Lanser (20) creating a turnover by the Wolverines in Tuesday’s Class 1A regional quarterfinal at Sully.

“I thought we looked good when we moved the ball quickly, which allowed us to attack the basket and have good rhythm,” Hulsing said. “Our defense communication needs to get better so we can cut off drives without fouling.”

Ehresman drained a 3-pointer followed by a basket from Fisk and a free throw from Lanser to build a 20-point lead, 37-17, with 4:22 left. GMG’s Kesley Vaverka hit a 3-pointer which was answered by Ehresman’s second trey of the game.

Lynnville-Sully was up 45-23 with eight minutes left. In the fourth quarter, the Wolverines had a 15-13 scoring edge.

The Hawks shot 39 percent, 18-of-46, from the field while the Wolverines went 13-of-32 for 40 percent. Lynnville-Sully cashed in 19-of-34 free throw attempts to GMG’s 10-of-15. The Hawks owned a 33-20 rebounding edge.

GMG’s 6-foot junior duo of Sonderleiter and Josie Claassen combined for 10 blocked shots.

They both scored nine points and Claassen had nine blocks. Vaske led the Wolverines with 11 points.

Lynnville-Sully had 22 steals

as GMG turned the ball over 34 times.

Vos and Ehresman each scored 13 points, and Fisk had 10 points.

Lanser finished with nine points and seven steals.

“It was good to see us have balance on the offensive end,” Hulsing said.

Fisk and sophomore Mariah Vos came off the bench to give a lift to the Hawks. Fisk had three steals and three rebounds to go with her 10 points. Mariah Vos pulled down 10 rebounds, and Marissa Vos had six rebounds. Ehresman dished out five assists.

“I’d take anybody from our bench against another team’s bench players,” Marissa Vos said.

“Anyone can come in and play an awesome game. Tonight, Carson managed to do it.”

It’s that simple!

Astrograph

The markers that prove you’re compatible with another person bear mention today. Could you move furniture together? Is it easy to celebrate together?

And is it possible for you to let down your guard and be vulnerable together for a reasonable stretch of time before returning to your usual routines? Venus newly in Aquarius invites you to think this over.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 17). You’ll put ideas into action this year, which is why, over the next six weeks, it is so important to test out those ideas and pull out the best ones. Let friends help you. Ask for public opinion. Take a vote. April and

July are stellar opportunities to travel and gain influence.

Music and love will fill your summer. Cancer and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 2, 33 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Warming up isn’t just for exercise or hard work. Everything you do today will be better when you honor some kind of ramp up to the main action.

Breathe, stretch, ease your way gently from one thing to the next.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A simpler life appeals to you. You see the elegance in having less stress, clutter and confusion.

Furthermore, you’re in a mood to make the hard choices about what to cut. Watch out, world!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Not only do you have a genuine love and excitement for the day’s subject matter, you have a specific map for getting from point A to point B. Avoid kinks by working it through on your own once more before sharing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Stay frugal even after you get the means to buy the fancier version. Living on less than you make is wise, but living on much less than you make is true freedom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). How well are your experiences building on one another these

days? When you’re living well, each experience transforms from or expands upon the last.

When you’re not living well, each experience repeats the last.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

People show you, through their attention, how they think and feel about you. Are you satisfied with the quality of attention you are receiving? If the answer is “no,” then today is a fine day to do something about it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Youth has its own kind of reality. You’ll be an objective witness to this today with just the level of detachment necessary to enjoy the situation without completely buying into it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll come upon your opposite again and be at once fascinated, frustrated and intrigued by this person. Should you take things further? It may benefit you, but it won’t get any easier.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’re not seeking dramatic change, but a few key refinements could up your entire game. That you’re able to note subtle delineators is a mark of your good taste.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). They’ll bring you complexities and intricacies. You bring the practicality and quick solutions. This may very well be the most productive day you will have all month. You’re a life whiz!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

What you once thought was a natural progression now seems like an overly ambitious plan.

That’s because you’re listening to skeptics. This is still within the realm of possibility; you’ll need more help is all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Privilege is costly. Whether or not the experience is really worth the cost is up to you.

Chances are it’s going to take you a good while to determine this. In the meantime, you’re better off saving your money.
