Maytag blue cheese recall expanded Positive test for Listeria found in second lot of product

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

roe district’s successful passage of a $10 million bond issue with a 69 percent approval, and Newton will be her fourth school bond campaign.

Appointing or suggesting subcommittee chairs was a large part of Thursday’s meeting.

“We want to get many things done in the months ahead, and each subcommittee will have specific tasks,” Opie said. “But keep in mind, you’re not going to have to do all of this yourselves.

DES MOINES — Iowa Department of Agriculture testing revealed possible Listeria contamination as part of a follow-up on cheese products from Maytag Dairy Farms of Newton.

The recall of lot No 150482 of Maytag Raw Milk Blue Cheese was announced Thursday.

Maytag Farms issued a voluntary recall of lot No 150481 that was announced on Feb. 13 due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

Lot 150482 includes approximately 1,100 pounds of cheese, some of which was distributed to retail locations prior to the initial recall by Maytag Dairy Farms. No new information was immediately available from IDALS about which outlets might have received cheese from lot No. 150842 but no cheese has been distributed since the initial positive test for Listeria monocytogenes.

As of Thursday, there have been no reported illnesses linked to the product.

Some products from the lot recalled on Feb. 13 ended up at Fareway of Newton, HoQ restaurant in Des Moines, the Bear Restaurant in Ankeny, Wine Experience in West Des Moines, Lomar Distributing, Inc. in Des Moines or were purchased directly from Maytag Dairy Farms.

Hy-Vee of Newton Manager Store Operations Jon Holland said last weekend the Maytag Blue Cheese on the shelves Saturday at the store had the lot No. 150201.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Public relations consultant Sara Opie, of Des Moines, speaks to the Newton Community School District’s bond committee at Thursday’s meeting. Opie had specific tasks for the months ahead for each of the six subcommittees helping promote a $25 million bond to rebuild the Berg Complex.

Berg bond committee narrows focus

Subcommittees to meet with specific tasks ahead

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton Community School District’s bond committee has met three times in the past month. Thursday, having already broken up into subcommittees, the 16 committee members who were present discussed the tasks ahead of them in the upcoming months.

The bond commit-

tee, 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. Thursday’s meeting was led mostly by public relations consultants Sara Opie and Jeff Huggins, who were hired by the district to help promote — and,

hopefully, help pass — a general-obligation bond issue with the required 60 percent approval.

Opie and Huggins had a number of items for the entire committee to consider. They outlined some main ideas to get across to the public, and talked specifically about what each subcommittee will need to do in the weeks and months ahead.

The main committee, which also met Jan. 26 and Feb. 4, is set to meet again March 29. Opie recently worked with the Prairie City-Mon-

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Jasper County Health Department is the new name for Jasper County Public Health, a move made to help distinguish its from the former organization led by Skiff Medical Center.

Biomedical sciences involves community involvement

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Newton High School students began looking a crime scene in early January, they weren’t simply guessing at what might have happened. They were gathering scientific evidence.

Jodi Morgan-Peters’ new Biomedical Science class began the semester by investigating the scene of the death of a fictional woman named Anna Garcia. The rest of the semester is spent looking over evidence from the scene, as well as autopsy reports and other data, to determine a likely cause of death.

The class curriculum is designed by a science nonprofit called Project Lead the Way. The course shows students a real-life application of biology, criminology, medical science and forensics in a way that involves various contributors from the com-

munity.

Former school resource officer Randy Camp was among the first visitors to the class. He explained how police go through an incident scene.

“They’re learning content in the context of real world, hands-on activities and projects and problems,” Morgan-Peters said. “We are super excited about it.”

The course is open to all NHS sophomores, juniors or seniors who have or are taking Biology and Integrated Science. A second, more in-depth class called Human Body Systems will be offered to juniors and seniors beginning next fall, with a heavier emphasis on organ and tissue composition and body function.

Both classes are worth two NHS credits, and are full-block classes.

The two classes can be considered part of the pre-engineering track. If students intending to pursue a relat-

ed major in college take Biomedical Engineering as an NHS sophomore or junior, that will allow them to complete Human Body Systems the following year.

Morgan-Peters said she’d like to thank the 2015-16 Biomedical Science Partnership Council for helping in various ways with getting the class going. The council includes NHS resource officer Brian Foster, nutritionist Jenny Thompson and trained professionals from the Newton Fire Department, Health Enterprises of Iowa, Skiff Medical Center, The Eyecare Center, Kinetic Edge and Keystone Laboratories.

Aside from basic drivers license information about the fictional “Garcia,” such as height, weight and age, the 31 students in Morgan-Peters’ class don’t start with a great deal of background. These are the limitations investigators would have in a real-world case, she said.

“As they learn more, they get to revise their hypothesis,” Morgan-Peters said. “It’s a great experience for students.”

The program includes a Too Good for Drugs presentation as well as basic information on substance abuse.

Brown said she was happy to be able to say all of the el-

ementary schools had invited her back following an initial meeting, which helps build a stronger relationship with teachers and students.

At the Newton and PCM high schools, a Life of An Athlete program has been underway while prescription drug abuse and marijuana presentations were done at PCM Middle School along with Newton High School.

Finally, she reported about prescription monitoring program presentations that took place at Newton DMACC,

the Human Services Providers meeting and Newton Rotary.

Future presentations from EFR in the county include a community readiness survey on the topic of underage drinking, marijuana and prescription/over the counter abuse at Newton High School and PCM Middle School and life on an athlete at PCM High School.

subcommittees will be busier at certain times, and we will all pitch in and help each other get the word out about the Berg Complex’s needs and the bond.”

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 and temperature differences from room to room.

The committee talked about the importance of allowing the public to come in at least once and see the innards of the Berg Complex for themselves. Opie suggested allowing students themselves to lead tours of the building, when practical.

NCSD Board of Education Vice President Travis Padget said the cost is one of the biggest concerns, and there was much discussion about how to address it. Newton Superintendent Bob Callaghan pointed out it is possible to maneuver and adjust other levies in a way that would keep a GO

The Agriculture Department’s Dairy Products Control Bureau discovered the possible contamination last week during routine testing, and Thursday’s announcement came after follow-up testing.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume those. Customers can call Maytag Dairy Farms at 800-247-2458 or 641-791-2010 to arrange for a refund and return of the product.

Listeria is a pathogen found in the environment. The very young, elderly and those who are immuno-compromised are especially susceptible by eating product contaminated with Listeria.

bond from raising the overall school-district tax burden to property owners.

A slogan was also discussed, with three possibilities presented.

Several pros and cons were mentioned, along with how two could be combined, and Padget pointed out the importance of distinguishing the bond campaign from visual and textual aspects of the city’s “Get to Know Newton” efforts.

The committee includes a wide cross-section of educators, buisnesspeople and other members of the community. It’s chaired by Craig Armstrong, who was one of many mem-

bers who were not present Thursday.

Various committee members took on new roles at the committee meeting. For example, Danielle Rogers agreed to be the point of contact for feedback about the slogan and to chair the marketing subcommittee; Karen Hoffmeier agreed to head up the letters to the editor part of the community engagement subcommittee, helping find volunteers to write letters advocating for the bond.

The committee helped Opie and Huggins clarify several elements of history or current status of the Berg Complex. For ex-

ample, Fran Henderson suggested the word “potential” in front of the description of mold issues at the complex be removed, as mold has actually been discovered and eradicated in a classroom.

Huggins said it’s important to maintain a balancing act between letting the public know about the concerns and inefficiencies of the Berg Complex without creating unnecessary panic about health or safety issues.

“We want there to be alarm, but not too much alarm,” he said.

Trial and error

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday |Feb. 19, 2016

I think it was Albert Einstein who said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

The sentiment defined me and my family’s frustration more than a year ago when we looked for another addiction center placement for my fiancé James.

We had watched him commit the same mistakes repeatedly. He had burned nearly all personal and professional bridges and certainly sacrificed ordinary joy with loved ones for a bottle of cheap whiskey alone.

James tried outpatient care which was not enough on its own. He tired one-month inpatient care which was not enough to last. He tried a more long-term center which led to only mild success, not enough in the mind of someone who wasn’t ready to

change.

The trial and error of addition is a roller coaster of highs and lows that causes motion sickness to all who are on it.

Addiction destroys relationships, families and personalities causing self-inflicted torture and dependency.

It’s a mental illness which takes a prudent desire to change, an unwavering commitment to sustain and a lengthy amount of practice and resources to cure.

Sobriety requires a complete lifestyle change.

For many, it requires abandoning acquaintances, friends or even enabling family members. It requires new hobbies, new surroundings or even new routes home to make sobriety work. It requires a completely new beginning and perspective to start new.

There is a stigma in our society toward addicts which

evokes shame and lack of self-worth. Stigmas are negative influences on someone looking to overcome disease.

Being able to talk about illness is OK and being able to celebrate sobriety is OK too.

We need to be less judgmental and more accepting.

I was apprehensive to tell my coworkers, family even friends about James’ addiction. What would they think?

Would they think less of me?

I’m apprehensive to tell you, but hiding behind fear of opinion doesn’t bring forth discussion or increase awareness.

James started a new journey last winter when he went to Teen Challenge in Colfax.

It’s been a tremendous blessing to all of our lives. Teen Challenge provided him one more try at a new beginning in life. The faith-based program saved his life and has

given me a new perspective too. Forgiveness is a mighty tool.

Almost two weeks ago now, my favorite, most loving, funny and helpful man completed his journey at Teen Challenge with a dinner, ceremony and a new appreciation for life. I know now with peace of mind that he has committed to his success and his new beginning, but I still pray he can withstand the fight for the rest of his life — that would be his greatest accomplishment.

I’ve never been more proud of an individual’s trial and error.

So if insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, here’s to new found sanity.

So Anyway

Winter has worn out its welcome

Letter to the Editor

All the worlds a stage James Wilson McKinstry Newton Are we the people and our leaders proof of what Shakespeare wrote? (All the World’s a Stage) All the world often appears to be a stage as we pass through the ages of man, infant, schoolboy, soldier, justice and I think we need a Saint Pantalone for the needy and old age, facing imminent death.

Infants don’t have a clue as to what life is about and are incapable of fending for ourselves and must depend on our parents, guardians and politicians to teach and care for us. Some guardians do an excellent job, while others do not. Our learning curve of life comes to us from many directions and the same is true with governments. We the people depend on our govern-

ments or our political leaders to defend us and care for us where our abilities are lacking. We the people are called upon to be soldiers for reasons we often do not understand. Sometimes justice or what is right and true is hard to recognize and sometimes we are deceived. We the people and governments should be like Saints or protectors of the needy and aging people and governments before imminent death steps in. Humans, societies and governments do change and die!

History and our own experiences prove to us that nothing lasts forever, everything is in a constant change and we and our governments can’t stop it.

However, no matter if we are a political leader or just one of the pawns on the street we should act responsible to what we know as morally correct.

Governments, businesses and

the pawns (We the people) on the streets are found to be corrupt, evil, greedy and self-serving there by effecting society in dangerous ways. This being an election year for America we will see and hear schoolboy and girl debates, falsehoods and other from those that wish to be the leaders of this great country.

Over the years I have asked myself and others, why anyone would wish to be president or hold other political office. I know the politically correct answer, but sadly I say, I don’t believe that is a total truth.

Even our founding fathers had self-serving motives, but did actually lay their lives on the line for this Republic.

One thing I know for sure is this: Greed is alive and well with-in us all, fortunately and unfortunately it is what made this country what it is today.

I’m done.

Winter can be such a beautiful season, but I’m done n o w .

And the older I get the quicker I come to that state.

A l t h o u g h By Dana King my hubby has said for years he would like to move south and never experience a snowfall again, I’ve always countered with, “but I’d miss the snow.” I’m sort of over that now. I love the first snowfall ... even the second snowfall. But by mid-January? Forget it.

Another thing that would stymie my move to an area with an average temperature of 70 degrees would be my kids. I’ve always said I wouldn’t go unless they came as well. Now that they’re grown and gone, although all within a 50-minute drive, chances of that happening aren’t very likely.

My girl-child recently announced after a week’s visit to a friend near Phoenix, if she had a job offer in Arizona, she’d jump at it. This came as a bit of a shock to me, not to mention her fiance. She did digress just enough to say of course she’d take him along. Yeah, I know it was just talk. We all

have those thoughts after returning from a relaxing vacation destination. But to even hear her imagine it aloud stung just a little.

My fault for raising a strong, confident, independent woman — unless her dad is around.

(Seriously, hubby still cuts her steak for her!)

Of course, we sort of expect that of our kids. Once they’re out of college, employment generally dictates where they’ll locate. Maybe temporarily — maybe permanently. It’s the natural progression of things, and it’s what we want for them.

But for us to leave them?

I know plenty of snowbirds. Those fortunate folks able to choose palm trees over snow drifts during the winter months, including one of my girlfriends. I might be able to psychologically pull that one off, but in my house, we’re still working stiffs and have several decades before we can enjoy full retirement.

So anyway...

For now I’ll just continue enjoying my annual week-long winter vacation on a warm, sunny beach and hope it’s cold and snowing here in Iowa the entire time I’m gone.

No hard feelings.

Teen daughter’s sex life reveals parental discord

DEAR ABBY: My 16-year-old perfect kid came to us, very adult-like, saying it was time for her to go on the pill. We knew she had a boyfriend, but didn’t realize it was this serious.

Despite my initial impulse to kill him and stick my daughter in a convent, we discussed it as a family and agreed she would see a gynecologist. She also had a long talk with her mother about sex, and with me a few days later. When I sat down alone with her she was embarrassed, but I don’t care — I’m her father.

Fast forward to last week: She left her iPad in the living room, and while I was using it, up popped explicit pictures of her not only with her boyfriend, but with other guys and girls. Her mother and I talked about how to handle this. I suggested therapy and pulling her from school. My wife disagreed. She accused me of violating our daughter’s personal property and said it’s none of my business!

I may be old-fashioned, but my daughter, whom I love more than life, needs to know this is not OK. She’s still a child despite looking like an adult, and as a child, she needs guidance. Am I wrong? Do you have any resources for me on handling my daughter’s sexual impulses? — CONCERNED DAD IN SANTA CLARA DEAR CONCERNED DAD: To pull your daughter out of school or send her to a psychotherapist would be an overreaction. Her sexual impulses are normal. Although I agree she needs guidance, that guidance should come from you and your wife.

As to your “violating your daughter’s personal property,” I’m glad you saw what was on the tablet and your wife should be as well. The kind of photos you describe can cause big problems for teenaged girls. If her relationship with her boyfriend sours, those pictures can wind up on the Internet to be viewed for all time.

Colleges and prospective employers have been known to scour the Internet looking for these kinds of postings when interviewing students and job seekers. What may seem like innocent fun now could cause her big headaches a few years down the line, and your daughter needs to know it.

DEAR ABBY: I work the front desk at a small hotel in the middle of nowhere. I love my job. My boss and co-workers are amazing, and we are like a big family.

Recently, while I was working the graveyard shift, I was held up at gunpoint and robbed. Going to work still scares me, and I’m anxious the entire time.

Should I seek counseling and stay with this job to see if my anxiety lessens, or find another one where I won’t have to deal with cash? I’m terrified of this happening again, since the thief got away with it. — JUST DON’T SHOOT DEAR JUST DON’T SHOOT: You should definitely seek counseling because of the trauma you experienced.

Some states offer it as part of a victims assistance program, but if yours does not, then you will have to get it privately through your health insurance or your employer’s. After you have had some sessions, you will then be in a better position to decide whether to continue working at that hotel.

250 new jobs lost with cancellation of project SIOUX CITY — A Dallas company has canceled plans to build a nearly $31 million rail car maintenance facility in Sioux City.

TrinityRail officials confirmed the bad news to city officials earlier this month.

When TrinityRail announced the Sioux City expansion in October 2014, a surge in tanker cars transporting crude oil and ethanol had raised demand for the company’s services. But demand for tankers has dropped sharply as global prices for crude oil collapsed.

Man who led officers on chase convicted of theft MASON CITY— A Cedar Rapids man who crashed into two squad cars while fleeing officers in northern Iowa has been found guilty. On Wednesday a Cerro Gordo County jury convicted 29-year-old Trenton McCleary of theft and eluding.

Authorities say McCleary was driving a stolen car on Dec. 14 when he fled deputies on state highways, Interstate 35 and a county road. The chase ended when he drove into a roadside ditch.

Trial would pay students to eat GMO bananas school kids from dying from diarrhea, malaria or measles?”

White sent an email to students in the summer of 2014 seeking 12 female volunteers to eat an equivalent of three bananas each, one of which would be the genetically modified type. The participants would eat a diet, including the bananas, for four days during each of three study periods, then have their blood tested.

They would be paid $900 each.

The trial has been criticized because natural-food proponents say genetically modified foods can be dangerous. The experiment’s proponents say the gene came from a different type of banana and is completely safe to eat.

Earlier this week, activists

delivered petitions calling on the project’s halt to university officials and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is funding the project. The activists said more than 57,000 people signed the petition.

“ISU students are being asked to be the first to consume a product of unknown safety,” the activists said in a prepared statement. “The study is not being conducted in a transparent manner, and concerned ISU community members have not been able to receive answers about the research design, risks, nature of the informed consent given by the subjects and the generalizability of the study.”

The trial is expected to take place sometime this year.

dents and the group’s political expression, violating their First Amendment free speech rights.

Students Erin Furleigh and Paul Gerlich, former presidents of the group, had sued in July 2014. They said ISU withdrew its approval of one of the group’s marijuana-themed T-shirts featuring the school’s Cy mascot and a marijuana leaf under pressure from donors and a group of conservative Republican lawmakers.

The lawsuit says ISU administrators removed the university’s adviser to NORML and rewrote its trademark guidelines to bar university logos in products that promote illegal drugs.

Furleigh and Gerlich’s attorney, Robert Corn-Revere, said the students proved to the court that ISU bowed to political pressure when it imposed special restrictions on NORML. The administrators’ actions violated the most basic First Amendment requirement that the government cannot discriminate against

a student group or its members because it disagrees with their viewpoint, he said.

“ISU’s appeal to the Court of Appeals did not come as a surprise,” Corn-Revere said Thursday. “We look forward to the appellate court confirming Judge Gritzner’s well-reasoned holding that any reasonable public official would have understood that ISU’s politically motivated actions toward NORML ISU violated the First Amendment.”

A spokesman for the Iowa Attorney General’s office, which represents the university administrators, did not immediately respond to a message. A university spokeswoman also did not immediately respond.

The students plan to move to another phase of the case in which they seek monetary damages against university administrators and ask the court to award them attorney fees and court costs. Those documents will be filed if Gritzner’s rulings stand after the appeals court review.

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa State University administrators are appealing a federal judge’s ruling that they violated the free speech rights of student members of a pro-marijuana group by barring them from using the university logos on T-shirts.

Attorneys for ISU President Steven Leath, Senior Vice President Warren Madden and two other administrators notified the court Wednesday of their appeal to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

U.S. District Judge James Gritzner had issued an order on Jan. 22 granting members of the ISU chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws a permanent injunction blocking university administrators from using a trademark policy to prevent the group from printing shirts depicting the school mascot and a marijuana leaf.

Gritzner determined that the university administrators put unique burdens on the stu-

KEOKUK (AP) — Lee County sheriff ’s records show that dozens of reports about runaways, assaults and suicide attempts by troubled teenagers at Midwest Academy in Keokuk often were not made until days after they occurred.

Sheriff Jim Sholl said that in some of the incidents, law enforcement was notified only after the Iowa Department of Human Services got involved. Most of the 73 reports released by the sheriff ’s office were not criminal in nature.

“Whether they intended to do it or not, (academy staff ) did a good job of keeping law enforcement, DHS and parents in the dark,” Sholl said.

Police raided the boarding school for troubled teenagers and a nearby treatment center on Jan. 28 and Jan. 29 to investigate allegations that a staff member sexually assaulted a student. The investigation has since expanded to other possible criminal activity and abuse.

The facilities have been closed, and all 90 or so residents either have been returned to their parents or transferred to shelters.

The Register reported Sunday that Sholl confirmed at least five reports of sexual offenses at the academy and at least 19 abuse reports that the Human Services Department deemed founded, meaning evidence suggests that some type of abuse occurred.

Academy owner Ben Trane has not responded to interview requests. At a Feb. 8 news conference, he declined to answer questions about the sex assault allegations.

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa State University researchers are moving ahead with a long-delayed project in which a dozen students will be paid to eat genetically modified bananas.

Registered students also receive emails highlighting financial literacy tips, such as the importance of early career and college planning and ways to reduce student loan indebtedness.

After registering for the scholarship, students receive emailed instructions for completing three online components.

Two tutorials — the newly revised Student Loan Game Plansm and the ROCI Reality Check — were developed by Iowa Student Loan. A related multiple choice assessment will check students’ understanding

of the concepts in the tutorials.

The tutorials are designed to help students understand the consequences of college borrowing and discover how to maximize their return on college investment or ROCI. Meghan McLaughlin, one of last year’s scholarship recipients and a 2015 graduate of Easton Valley High School, said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Iowa Financial Know-How Challenge.

Through this opportunity, I have learned valuable information about how my college borrowing choices will affect my finances in the future, and I plan to use this information to keep my student loan debt as low as possible.”

The 30 high school seniors who score highest on the assessment test will each receive a $2,000 scholarship sent directly to their colleges in fall 2016. If top-scoring stu-

dents tie, those students will be asked to write and be judged on a short essay so winners can be determined.

Each scholarship recipient’s high school will also receive a corresponding $500 award to be used toward scholarship and financial literacy programs.

“We hope the school award component will enable administrators to enhance their financial literacy programs for their students,” said Steve McCullough, president and CEO of Iowa Student Loan.

The Iowa Financial Know-How Challenge: Senior Scholarship is open to legal U.S. citizens who are permanent residents of Iowa; are seniors at an Iowa high school during the 2015–2016 school year; and attend college in fall 2016.

Up and Away Mother-Son superhero dance raises $1,900 for PCM preschool

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News

MONROE — The Mustang Scholars Committee — fundraising arm for the PCM Community School District’s 3-year-old preschool program — reached another financial goal at its Feb. 6 Mother-Son Superhero Dance, raising $1,900 for the program.

According to committee chair and former PCM school board member Jill Witt, the dance brought the organization’s lifetime total to approximately $13,500 since its July 2015 formation. The dance received donations from the Pleasant Hill Hy-Vee and Linda Wales and Linda Kay Photography.

“My committee decorated the high school commons area to the hilt and sent each superhero home with a gift box. Pizza and beverages were served at this event too,” Witt said.

“This brought many smiles and excitement to the attendees.”

In seven months Mustang Scholars has brought the 3-year-old preschool back from

The group announced its first series of fundraising events in summer 2015 designed to get the committee the rest of the way to the board-ordered fundraising match. By October 2015, Mustang Scholars had raised more than $10,000.

Witt said future fundraisers are already in the planing stage and will be announced soon.

Baxter continues to look for commercial property

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune BAXTER — The Baxter City Council discussed its intentions to purchase additional commercial property during the regular council meeting Feb. 8.

While hearing a monthly report from Baxter Economic Commercial Development president Ryan Bucklin, councilman Dan Kunkel asked about progress of finding commercial space for development of a second business park.

Having commercial space available could help bring new businesses to town and provide opportunities for current companies to expand, which Kunkel said is a pressing issue in Baxter.

Kunkel referenced last year’s Keltek expansion, when owner Kelly Milligan requested a zoning change of a residential to commercial in order to allow his vehicle uplifting company to grow. Kunkel said the city “just squeaked by” and nearly chased that local company out of town.

The councilman then urged to city to move forward with finding space for a second business park.

Before the 2016-17 council was seated, former councilman Justin Lisk was involved in discussions with Bucklin and public works director Shawn Fuller regarding the city’s efforts to find commercial space.

However, Lisk is no longer on the council and Bucklin recommended that a new council member take on that role. Mayor Steve Smith asked councilman Bryan DeJong to communicate with Bucklin and Fuller throughout the process.

“The person who took over the financials for Justin is the chairperson of financials, which is Bryan,” Smith said. “So I would ask Bryan to get together with you guys and work out something for looking at some

started any process yet.”

Bucklin, DeJong and Fuller agreed to get together and research potential directions for the city.

Beekeeping request Baxter resident JoEllen Cross requested the council’s permission to allow her to place up to two beehives in her backyard for hobby purposes.

According to councilman Steve Wright, the city’s current ordinance does not allow residents to keep livestock within

commercial property.

The mayor said the city was looking at somewhere between six and 10 acres — a site where a number of lots can be placed.

Smith added that the city does have some options available to it.

“We do have a piece of commercial property available, but I don’t know if the city can work with the individual who owns it, or if BEDCO can,” Smith said. “There are two chunks of land that have been proposed to the city, and both of the people are willing to sell the ground. I do know that, but one of them wants it kept quiet until the process starts. And we haven’t

the city without written consent by the council, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture lists bees as livestock.

The council voted 3-1 to exempt bees from the current ordinance, allowing Cross to place one or two hives on her residential property. Wright was in opposition because he recommended that the city draft or adopt an ordinance that has more specifications, such as requiring a fence around the beehive or a beekeeping course.

Councilman Jason Robinson was absent for the meeting.

C-M schools spending authority reduced by $500,000

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — During the regular school board meeting Feb. 8, a review of Colfax-Mingo’s financial position revealed the district’s spending authority has been reduced by $500,000 for FY 2016-17 due to unforeseen staff and other expenditures.

According to board secretary Deb Hodgson, the lack of student growth and funding from the state could cause expenditure reductions for FY 2017 and in the future.

Hodgson reviewed the budgets with the board during February’s regular meeting, including many of the expenditures that resulted in the reduction.

“One thing I want to say is this is pretty horrendous right here and scary, but that’s the way the budget is,” Hodgson said. “But never have I had anything like that in one year.”

The good news, Hodgson added, is that some of the district’s expenditures are a one time obligation and won’t affect future school budgets following FY 2016-17.

C-M Superintendent Tracy Hook said school programs will not be affected at this point in time, but the C-M will have to be cautious in its spending going forward as the reduction will affect the general fund.

“The positive piece is that we have room and hope for growth. The negative side is we’re down 14 students. When you start adding that up that’s quite a bit of money,” Hook said. “Bottom line is we’re going to have to tighten our belts, pull up our socks and work this out.”

The C-M board will schedule a work session to further discuss budget improvement plans.

Iowa loses bid to land DuPont-Dow ag company headquarters JOHNSTON (AP) — Iowa has lost its bid to land the corporate headquarters of the agricultural company that will be formed after the DuPont-Dow Chemical merger is completed.

DuPont and Dow announced Friday that the headquarters will be located in Wilmington, Del. The new company will retain strong presences in Johnston, Iowa, where DuPont Pioneer is situated, as well as Indianapolis, Ind., home to Dow Agro-

The Iowa Economic Development Authority’s due diligence committee Friday approved a $2 million forgivable loan and up to $14 million in research activities tax credits for the new company. The full board is expected to approve the measure later Friday.

The credits apply to the expected 250 to 500 research and development jobs the company expects to retain in Johnston.

WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — So much for Bernie Sanders’ big win in New Hampshire.

Since then, Hillary Clinton has picked up endorsements from 87 more superdelegates to the Democratic National Convention, dwarfing Sanders’ gain from the New Hampshire primary, according to a new Associated Press survey. Sanders

has added just 11 superdelegate endorsements.

If these party insiders continue to back Clinton overwhelmingly — and they can change their minds — Sanders would have to win the remaining primaries by a landslide just to catch up.

He would have to roll up big margins because every Democratic con-

test awards delegates in proportion to the vote, so even the loser can get some.

After the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders has a small 36-32 lead among delegates won in primaries and caucuses. But when superdelegates are included, Clinton leads 481-55, according to the AP count. It’s essentially a parallel election that underscores Clinton’s lopsided support from the Democratic establishment.

The disparity is sparking a backlash among some Sanders supporters, who complain that the Democratic nominating process is decidedly undemocratic, rigged in favor of Clinton.

Some of them — not part of the campaign, Sanders’ people say — are contacting superdelegates who have publicly endorsed Clinton. Their message isn’t subtle, or always welcome.

Five area wrestlers are still in contention in 3A and 2A at state wrestling meet

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Duncan Lee, left, and Ankeny High junior Peyton Patterson, right, go head-to-head in a Class 3A 182-pound first-round match Thursday to open the 2016 state wrestling tournament at Wells Fargo Arena. The former NHS teammates went to overtime with Lee winning 5-3.

Newton’s Lee reaches quarterfinals; Versteegh is in consolation bracket

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

DES MOINES — The long and short of it is Newton High’s seniors Duncan Lee and Hunter Versteegh survived the first day of the 2016 Class 3A State Wrestling Tournament. They took different paths to do it Thursday at Wells Fargo Arena.

In his opening-round of the 182-pound division, Lee faced a former Newton teammate in junior Peyton Pat-

terson of Ankeny. Patterson wrestled for the Cardinals until this season.

Lee and Patterson were workout partners in the Newton wrestling room for two years. Lee, who qualified for the state meet a year ago at 195, is in his second state meet. Patterson reached the state meet for the first time.

The two batted to a 3-3 tie after three periods of regulation Thursday. Lee came up with the winning takedown for a sudden-victory of 5-3 in overtime.

Versteegh lost his opening round match, 9-3, to second-ranked McGwire Midkiff of Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson in the 113-pound division. Versteegh, who qualified for the state meet as a sophomore at 113, came out with a bit of a chip on his shoulder in the first round of consolation action Thursday.

It took the Cardinal senior 16 seconds to pin Cade Hopkins of Spencer.

“He got a shot in and got really high on me,” Versteegh said of Hopkins. “It was either

give up two points on a takedown or try a throw. I threw him and luckily he went down on his back. I jumped on top and got the pin.”

Versteegh admitted he was pretty mad after losing his first match Thursday and came out focused in the second match. It was the third time this season he faced Midkiff and lost each time.

Midkiff scored two on a takedown in the first period, but Versteegh escaped. He NEWTON | 8B

Miller rallies to win, three Mustangs still alive

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — All four Prairie City-Monroe wrestlers found out what the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships was all about Thursday.

The sell-out crowds, pageantry and energy is unlike any other tournament the Mustang grapplers have ever been in.

Unfortunately, it took three of the four wrestlers an entire match to settle in and focus on the opponent across from him.

Junior Xavier Miller rallied from an early 5-0 deficit to claim a 9-7 victory in overtime in his first-round match, but the Mustangs’ trio of freshmen all suffered first-round losses to tough opponents.

Lucas Roland and Wes Cummings bounced back to claim a win in their consolation wrestleback, but Jarron Trausch was eliminated from the tourney after finishing 0-2 on the day.

“All three of our guys who won were a complete gut check,” PCM wrestling coach Cory Waddell said. “They all three fell behind, but they stayed with it, they wrestled their match and never got out of sync. They continued

to wrestle hard.”

Miller defeated Creston/ Orient-Macksburg’s Mitchel Swank in his opening-round match, but it wasn’t as easy Thursday as it was back at the Dallas Center-Grimes tournament earlier this season.

Swank jumped out to a 5-0 lead before Miller reversed the script and got back into the match. A pair of stalling calls helped Miller tie the score, and then he took control in overtime, winning in the first 1-minute session.

Miller’s previous win over Swank was a 13-7 decision.

“I was nervous to begin with,” Miller said. “I think I should have beaten by more, but he caught me on a headlock during a scramble. I think I got the nerves out of the way now though.”

Next up for Miller (42-6) is fourth-ranked Trae Pecinovsky of Spirit Lake. Pecinovsky (40-5) defeated seventh-ranked John Tuttle, 3-1, in his first-round match.

Roland came into the

week with a 22-match win streak. He is now 41-3 on the season.

Roland suffered a 6-2 firstround loss to seventh-ranked Connor Ascherl of MOCFloyd Valley, who is ranked fourth.

The Mustang freshman fell behind 4-1 in his consolation elimination match, but then scored 10 straight points to stay alive on the backside of the bracket.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Xavier Miller, top, had to rally from an early 5-0 deficit, but he collected a 7-5 decision in overtime to advance in the Class 2A 145-pound bracket at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena on Thursday night.

The Pressbox

Bragging rights among friends at state meet There’s nothing like a state high school wrestling tournament, whether it is in Kansas or in Iowa.

There’s plenty of story lines along with the play-by-play of matches.

I’ve got one of those story lines.

For more than two years, Duncan Lee By Jocelyn and Peyton Sheets Patterson were Newton Daily practice partNews ners in Newton Sports Editor High’s wrestling room. Patterson moved to another city. When the Class 3A 182-pound weight division pairings were announced for the 2016 state wrestling tournament, a story line was born.

The former teammates were to face each other in the first round. Lee, a senior at Newton High, and Patterson, a junior at Ankeny High, stepped on Mat 8 Thursday as opponents.

“I was pretty excited when I saw I get to wrestle Peyton.

Once I learned he was wrestling the same weight I was during the season, I checked our schedule but we didn’t have Ankeny on it,” Lee said before the tournament. “When I saw he took second at his district, I thought it would be weird if I ended up wrestling him at state and I am.”

A whistle blew and they went to work, each with the goal of winning.

“I knew I’d have to fight hard and wrestle hard because he (Lee) is a big, strong kid,” Patterson said after the match.

“We used to be practice partners, but we all put our ankle bands on and strap on our headgear the same way.”

For six minutes — three two-minute periods — Lee and Patterson battled on the mat. They were locked in a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation.

“I knew he was going to come out and fight hard against me. You never want to lose to your friend and give up those bragging rights. I was going to fight the entire time, and he did,” Lee said.

The senior won out as Lee came up with a takedown to win in overtime, 5-3.

“I wanted to go out and scrap. He fought just a little harder in overtime to win,” Patterson said.

Patterson and Lee hugged in the center of the mat.

“I just told him to go get the next match,” Lee said.

Patterson, who qualified for state for the first time, lost in the consolation round. He finished 16-20 for the season.

“It’s been a pretty successful year. I saw a lot of tough competition, and I believed I could have been better,” Patterson said. “I’ve always got next year.

I’ll put more time in during the offseason.”

Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said it was interesting to coach against a former wrestler.

“Anytime you work with a kid, you want them to be successful. I’m happy for Peyton that he got to come to the state meet and have this experience.

You put all that stuff aside when you’re coaching in the corner.

“I coached at Ottumwa before Newton and I see a lot of those kids, too. You pull for them unless they are facing your guy.”

Newton boys build momentum for playoffs

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News CARLISLE — Newton High’s Cardinal boys are going into the Class 3A playoffs on a two-game winning streak. The Cardinals concluded regular-season play Thursday with a 72-54 win over host Carlisle.

Following a close first half, Newton held a 31-24 lead at the break. The two teams had played to a 1616 tie in the first quarter, but the Cardinals got the edge with a 15-8 second quarter surge.

Newton’s lead was still 13 points, 48-35, after three quarters. Newton outscored the Wildcats 2419 in the fourth period to seal the win.

“Our guys did a great job of closing out the regular season playing very effectively on offense and defense,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said. “We are excited about the momentum we’ve created going into the playoffs.”

The Cardinals open the Class 3A District 12 tournament at home Monday.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s 10thranked Hawk boys pushed their way into the Class 1A District 10 semifinals with a commanding 58-33 win at home Thursday over HLV’s Warriors.

The Hawks doubled up the Warriors in the first quarter, 16-8, and never looked back. They extended their 29-18 halftime lead on a 14-3 third-quarter run. Lynnville-Sully closed out the game against fellow South Iowa Cedar League HLV with a 1512 scoring edge in the fourth period.

“We struggled to find a rhythm offensively,” Hawk head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “The guys did a good job pounding the offensive boards, which is going to be key for us moving forward. We were able to have a solid third quarter and put the game out of reach.”

With the victory, the Hawks (21-1) will play another SICL opponent — Belle Plaine (15-7) — in the district semifinals Tuesday. Meskwaki Settlement and BGM are in the other semifinal.

Meskwaki Settlement will host the district semifinal doubleheader in Tama. Lynnville-Sully plays at 6:30 p.m.

Tuesday. The district championship game is at 7 p.m. Thursday at Marshalltown.

Senior post player Kyle Van Dyke was the force inside for the Hawks against HLV.

Memphis women outlast Temple in five OTs MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis and Temple matched the longest game in NCAA women’s basketball history Thursday night, with the Tigers outlasting the Owls 100-97 in five overtimes.

Brianna Wright scored a career-high 35 points for Memphis, including the

tie-breaking basket with 6.2 seconds left in the fifth overtime. Drexel beat Northeastern 98-80 on Feb. 22, 2007, in the only other Division I five-overtime game. Two Division II games have gone to five overtimes.

The game was tied at 50 at the end of regulation.

COLO — Jared Myers missed several games early in the season due to injuries sustained during Colfax-Mingo’s historic football campaign.

It took the senior guard awhile to get going, but Myers appears to be playing his best basketball at the most important time.

Myers had his outside shot going early Thursday during a Class 1A District 12 quarterfinal at Colo-NESCO High School. He buried both of his 3-pointers in the first quarter and scored a season-high 20 points in the game as the Tigerhawks jumped out to an early lead and never lost the momentum in a 62-33 victory.

The Tigerhawks led 27-11 after one, and they slowly pulled away after that. Colfax-Mingo (13-9) led 37-24 at halftime. The Tigerhawks outscored Twin Cedars 13-1 in the third and won by 29.

Assisting Myers’ 20 points were Colin Lourens’ 15 points and Jarod Nichols’ 14. Blake Summy also put in eight and Jacob Lietz scored five in the win.

Colfax-Mingo and ninth-ranked Grand View Christian (21-1) play at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Colo-NESCO High School. Third-ranked Colo-NESCO takes on Ankeny Christian Academy at 8 p.m.

Gilman’s 4th quarter barrage not enough for PCM boys

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News URBANDALE — Logan Gilman got the Prairie City-Monroe boys basketball team back in the game with a monster fourth quarter, but the Mustangs couldn’t overcome Madrid’s distinct height advantage Thursday night during a Class 2A District 13 semifinal.

PCM led 13-8 after one quarter, but Madrid outscored the Mustangs the rest of the way during a 69-60 victory at Des Moines Christian High School.

Gilman scored more than half of his 31 points in the fourth quarter.

That helped the Mustangs overcome a deficit that reached 14 points with four minutes to play in the fourth.

Gilman’s efforts got the Mustangs

within five, but that’s as close as PCM would get.

Madrid, winners of three out of its last four games, takes a 14-9 record in Tuesday’s district championship game against top-seeded Des Moines Christian. That game will be at 7 p.m. at Newton Senior High School.

The third-seeded Tigers got a big effort from their big man, Luke Hudnutt. He scored 23 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, dished out six assists and blocked four shots, while Sinjin Harsbarger had 12 points and 10 boards in the win.

PCM caps its season at 13-9. The Mustangs ended the season with four straight losses.

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Feb. 19, 2016 | 3B Sports Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Busch win Daytona qualifying races DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Driving a car he believes is unbeatable, Dale Earnhardt Jr. added to his family legacy at Daytona International Speedway on the anniversary of his father’s death.

Earnhardt won the first qualifying race Thursday night for the Daytona 500 to earn a starting spot on the second row for NASCAR’s biggest event.

It was Earnhardt’s 17th career win at Daytona International Speedway. The late Dale Earnhardt leads all drivers with 34 career victories at Daytona. He was killed on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.

“It’s another win at Daytona for the Earnhardts, adding to the legacy,” Earnhardt said in victory lane. “We’re up here in the 50s now.”

The No. 88 Chevrolet that Hendrick Motorsports brought to Daytona won three times last year, and Earnhardt admitted after the qualifying race that he allowed himself to daydream about winning as a tribute to his father.

“I try not to make too big a deal — I told all you guys how much I like people to remember dad and talk about dad,” he said. “I’m guilty of daydreaming a little bit, about winning this race tonight because of the day. That’s very special to me. I was glad that nothing bad happened and we didn’t tear our car up because that would have been embarrassing on a day like this.”

Kyle Busch, the reigning Sprint Cup champion, won the second qualifying race, but several contenders wrecked their prized cars in a last-lap accident.

Busch was trying to hold off Jamie McMurray on the final lap and briefly blocked him. McMurray moved up the track for another try, but Jimmie Johnson was in the same space and Johnson bounced off the wall to trigger a multicar accident.

opened up a spot in the Daytona 500 for McDowell.

“It’s so intense. When Blaney had a problem there, we were counting on him racing his way in,” McDowell said. “I can’t tell you what it means to make the Daytona 500. We’re racing Sunday and I can’t wait to get going.”

It’s the third time in seven years that McDowell has raced his way into the 500.

He had to use a block on Whitt to preserve his position. The block led to Whitt spinning and bringing out the only caution of the first race.

Among those who wrecked strong race cars were Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr., who will all have to go to backup cars for the Daytona 500. Kenseth had earned a front row starting spot for Sunday’s season-opener, but he’ll now forfeit it because of the crash.

It wasn’t clear how much damage Kurt Busch and McMurray sustained, but Stewart-Haas Racing said it would not go to a backup for Busch.

Only two spots were up for grabs in the 500 — one in each qualifying race. Michael McDowell earned the spot in the first race, while Robert Richardson Jr. earned the final transfer spot. Richardson only got the call two weeks ago from BK Racing to attempt the Daytona 500.

“I was at home working

on my ranch,” said Richardson, who added every dollar he earns this weekend will go into a college fund for his newborn son. Richardson manages hay production as his full-time job at a ranch in Pilot Point, Texas.

“The stress that I’ve been putting just on myself in general to make this race, I’ve been pacing the floor ever since I woke up this morning just eager to get this race underway, just eager to see how the outcome would happen.”

Failing to make the Daytona 500 were: Josh Wise, Cole Whitt, David Gilliland and Reed Sorenson.

Earnhardt dominated the 150-mile race and easily darted around leader Denny Hamlin with six laps remaining to cruise to the victory.

Earnhardt led 43 of the 60

laps in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, and Hamlin seemed to be the only driver with a car strong enough to challenge the No. 88.

Hamlin won last week’s exhibition race, but his Toyota didn’t have the help Hamlin needed when Earnhardt was ready to make a pass for the win. Hamlin finished fifth.

Defending Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano was second and Ryan Blaney was third. Blaney had early issues with a loose wheel, but had assured himself a spot in Sunday’s Daytona 500 based on qualifying speed. Still, his Wood Brothers Racing team got him back on the lead lap and he was in position to work with Logano to make a late run at Earnhardt.

Instead, the order didn’t change and Blaney’s finish

had 20 assists as a team.

Banfield pulled down three rebounds and made three steals. Sturtz had two steals.

Carlisle (6-15) had a three-game winning streak snapped Thursday night with the loss. Cole Henderson hit three of his team’s seven 3-pointers and was 6-of-7 from the free-throw line for 15 points.

Noah Schmitt added 13 points. The Wildcats were 15-of-20 from the line.

Newton’s junior varsity wrapped up one of the most successful seasons at that level for the Cardinals in some years. The Cardinal junior varsity beat Carlisle, 68-57, to go 14-6 for the season. Newton led 45-19 at halftime.

Trey Vanderlaan netted six 3-pointers for 24 points to lead Newton, and Josh Gulling had four threes as he scored 18 points. Grant Garvis added nine points, and Grayson Graham had eight points and five assists.

Psychologists, coaches and spiritual gurus speak of controlling the “inner experience,” and yet there are a fair number for whom this concept seems so foreign that the experts may as well be asking us to sprout wings out our backs and fly. Poets and artists are especially feral inside, as pointed out by the sun crossing into Pisces.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you hang back and talk about it, you’ll only talk yourself out of it. Stop socializing, agonizing and analyzing.

There’s no point, considering you already know what to do. Jump in and scramble through.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You can avoid criticism by avoiding production, creation and expression.

But what’s the fun in that? When you’re not producing, you’re not being yourself. The most expedient thing would be to stop caring what “they” think.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t have to choose between two

extremes. Examine your choices more carefully. They probably have more to do with applying the resources you have toward being an effective human being.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is nothing mundane to the eye that chooses to see it as mesmerizing instead. You have such an eye. You’ll use your talent to help others appreciate the environment better.

“I did what our plan was, but I need to do more offense to score points my way,” Versteegh said. “Going into the next round, I’m staying with our game plan and plan to be more aggressive offensively to come out on top.”

Versteegh said it felt good to win a match as a senior at the state meet, but plans to win more this weekend.

“This is our last year, and we need to make it as far as we can so making it to the next day is big,” Versteegh said.

PCM Continued from Page 1B Roland (41-3) had a hard time mentally coming back after a loss.

“It was extremely hard,” Roland said. “I went out there nervous, didn’t wrestle my best and lost to a kid I should have beaten.

“I got taken down right away in the second game, and I had a thought in my head that I might be done. I just tried to push it away, and kept wrestling. I finally got it together a little bit better in that second match.”

Cummings (36-4) was devastated after losing for a third time to Greene County’s Tommy Bradshaw in his opening-round match.

Coming back from losses at the state tournament isn’t easy, but No. 10th ranked Cummings (36-4) battled back and turned a 2-all tie to Charles City’s Neil Clement into a 9-3 victory.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe freshman Lucas Roland, right, lost his opening-round match at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena on Thursday, but an 11-4 win in his consolation wrestleback kept his season alive at 138 pounds.

Bradshaw (40-1) defeated Cummings 11-3 in the opener. Cummings has four losses on the season and three

all year in the second match. I hope we see him like that tomorrow, too.”

Trausch (38-7) is the only Mustang who won’t be wrestling Friday. He lost an 11-6 decision to ninth-ranked Michael Kent of Iowa Falls-Alden in the opener and then was eliminated when he lost 6-2 to Solon’ Dillon Diltz.

“I am proud of him.

He had some doubts last summer to whether he really wanted to do this or not,” Waddell said. “He came out though and won 38 matches. He’s in there upset right now. That’s what I want to see because that means he cares.”

Miller is the only Mustang whose dreams of winning a state title are still intact. The key for him in rallying past Swank was not giving up when he fell behind 5-0.

“He knew exactly what he needed to do,” Waddell said. You expect first-time wrestlers at the state tournament

downs until time expired in the third period. It was overtime and sudden victory time.

“He kind of foot swept me for his takedown in the second period and I wasn’t expecting it,” Lee said. “I felt I was in control of the match, but Peyton fought hard. I was able to get my shot in for the takedown in overtime.”

Asked about his strategy going forward in the state meet and Lee said, “win.”

“I just need to go out and be confident in what I do, and wrestle hard for six minutes each match,” Lee said.

In consolation action, wrestlers who lose are eliminated from the tournament. Win and advance toward the third, fifth or seventh-place matches. Class 3A’s third-round of consolation matches begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday Consolation semifinals and finals for 3A, 2A and 1A begin at 10 a.m. Saturday and run through 2:15 p.m. The grand march is at 6 p.m.

to maybe panic in that spot, but he didn’t and he stuck to what we knew would work.

“I was fully confident he was going to win the match when we got to overtime.”

Last year, PCM’s Tristan Clark won his first match in overtime.

He advanced all the way to the championship match after that.

“He’s focused. That was a big win for him.

I hope it pays dividends tomorrow, but he’s as focused as I’ve ever seen him,” Waddell said of Miller.

“He’s got big aspirations. Last year, Tristan Clark won his first match in overtime and then starting mowing guys down. Don’t be surprised if we see Xavier Miller do the same thing.”
