Dennis Magee/Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier Prosecutor Michael Jacobsen concluded his case against Theresa “Terri” Supino on Thursday, in Waterloo. Attorneys have delivered closing arguments and jurors have entered deliberation in the trial of the former Newton woman accused of killing her husband and his girlfriend nearly 32 years ago.

Jury begins deliberations in Supino case

WATERLOO — The double murder trial of Theresa “Terri” Supino entered its first full day of deliberations Friday at the Black Hawk County Courthouse, following final arguments from county prosecutors and defense attorneys Thursday.

The 54-yearSupino old is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the March 3, 1983 killings of her estranged husband Steven Fisher, 20, and his girlfriend Melisa Gregory, 17, at

the former Copper Dollar Ranch northwest of Newton.

The 12-member panel will weigh 10 days of testimony from nearly 40 state and five defense witnesses detailing evidence of alleged confessions from Supino, tales of aggression toward Fisher and Gregory and a possible drug-related connection to the murders — a line of testimony which the defense hopes staves off a conviction.

Without physical evidence tying Supino to the crime scene, jurors will have to decide if the circumstantial case is damning enough to convict the defendant of the nearly 32-year-old murders. Jurors also have the option to convict Supino of seconddegree murder if they feel the evidence is not strong enough to

First Veteran-Civilian Dialogue planned for Tuesday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Newton is set to host its first Veteran-Civilian Dialogue and Service Project event facilitated

by New York City-based Intersections International.

The dialogue will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday with the service project at 9:30 a.m. the following Saturday, both at the Centre for Arts and Artists, 501 W. Third St. N. “We are looking forward to the upcoming Newton Veteran Civilian Dialogue and Service Project. No doubt important stories will be told and heard,” said Craig Light, executive director of the Newton

Chamber of Commerce.

The dialogue through Intersections International is partnering with the Centre for Arts and Artists, the Greater Des Moines Partnership, the Newton Chamber of Commerce and Central College to have a time for veterans and civilians bridge the gap by helping service personnel transition back to civilian life and by providing a place for civilians to step forward in new and responsible engagement with veterans. Previously, Central College hosted a dialogue exceeding expectations in attendance as well as creating great conversations between veterans and civilians.

support murder in the first degree.

If found guilty, Supino could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

During his closing arguments, First Assistant Jasper County Attorney Scott Nicholson returned jurors to the “puzzle of guilt” the state has been trying to assemble, arguing no one had “better opportunity” and motive than Supino to kill Fisher and Gregory.

Members of both Fisher and Gregory’s families were in the courtroom Thursday. Supino’s son Rocky Supino, brother Tim Supino, and her mother Beverly Supino sat directly behind the defendant as attorneys delivered their final comments in the case.

Full slate for Newton school board Monday

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News There are no items regarding building reconfiguration on the agenda for Monday’s Newton Community School District board meeting.

However, with many items on the agenda, which was released Thursday, it’s possible it could take a great deal of time to get through all of the details.

The board will meet at Aurora Heights Elementary School gymnasium at 6:30 p.m. Mon-

day.

One of the items on the agenda as discussiononly is the consideration of scheduling a community forum, which could lead to talk about upcoming events to discuss reconfiguration.

The agenda does have three action items that could be affected by future reconfiguration.

These items are related to the sale of bonds to cover the cost of constructing a new building on the Berg Complex.

Fireworks bills bring up revenue, safety discussions

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Two bills currently pending in the Iowa State Legislature would change the way the state does firework business.

However, for many firefighting agencies and at least one Newton resident, a firework is not simply the subject of a catchy Katy Perry song.

It’s the potential source of serious injury and property damage.

House bill HF 61 has a description that calls it “an act excluding certain poppers and snappers from the definition

of fireworks whose sale or use is generally prohibited.” A Senate bill, SF 226, would allow for the “legal sale and use of novelties and consumer fireworks within the state.”

That bill, introduced in January, was sent to the Senate Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday. Sen. Jeff Danielson, D-Cedar Falls, said the bill was “flooreligible for debate” as of Thursday morning.

Rep. Rob Bacon, RStory County, authored HF 61, which was introduced on Feb. 18.

However, that bill has yet to be assigned to a committee or subcom-

Bacon said one of his associates told him Iowa could be losing $300,000 to $500,000

per year in revenue from poppers and snappers, which are illegal under FIREWORKS | 3A

Milk cartons no longer trash at Woodrow Wilson Elementary students learn about recycling firsthand

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News It isn’t simply a cost or landfill impact that a new program will hopefully make on Woodrow Wilson Elementary School students.

It’s about creating a new way of thinking.

The Feb. 9 start to the Wilson’s milk-carton recycling program, done in conjunction with Dodd’s Trash Hauling, is the latest effort to not only keep landfills from filling, but also to get students to think globally about refuse and recycling.

Liz Dodd, operations manager for the hauling company, was on hand at Woodrow Wilson on the first day of the new program, helping the school’s fourth, fifth and sixth-grade students remember to put place milk cartons in a different container from the rest of their trash.

“If we have more recycling arrangements that are this convenient, combined with curbside recycling, we’re showing them that recycling couldn’t get much easier,” Dodd said.

Cori Latcham, a Talented and Gifted teacher at the school, said the discussion began while working on a “ecological footprint” project with fourth-grade TAG students.

“Students had to agree on a common subject,” Latcham said.

“Others considered were clean water, renewable energy sources, etc. They settled on recycling.”

The lunchroom quickly emerged as a focal point of the recycling talks.

“Recycling in the classrooms had lost its priority, and nothing was being recycled in the lunchroom,” Latcham said. “We consulted Pete (Simmons, head custodian) and Liz (Dodd), and we learned more about the trash and the recycling procedures. We decided that the food problem is bigger than we can tackle — so we focused on recycling.”

Latcham said the fourth-graders created a commercial with the Apple “iMovie” program to share

“Barack Obama, because he helps people.”

with the student body. They also did daily announcements the week before the first day of the milk-carton program to help generate excitement.

“Now we recycle in the lunchroom for breakfast and lunch, and the student body is more aware of recycling within the classrooms,” Latcham said.

Dodd said that while the hauling company has different arrangements at each Newton school, and has done recycling for years, the milk-carton concept at Woodrow Wilson is unique.

She said Simmons normally fills about three bags of trash at lunch each day at the school, but the milk-carton sorting reduced the trash to one half of one bag.

April 20 will mark the 25th an-

niversary of Dodd’s first recycling effort in Jasper County.

“I don’t where those 25 years have gone, and I wash I would have journaled our recycling a little better,” she said.

Dodd said it’s sometimes tough to measure recycling savings in dollars, especially for customers who pay a flat rate for hauling and/or dumping. However, the main focus is teaching about recycling as a part of life.

“We’re showing them you have to give materials a second life,” Dodd said. “This program creates habits these kids will do forever.”

Fireworks

“I think it is great they are getting these folks together,” said Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop. “It will be good so the veterans feel more comfortable in a neutral setting to not necessarily talk about their combat experience but just have a conversation. We are really excited to see where this will lead in the future.”

Dialogues typically last 90 minutes and are free to attend. It is led by facilitators from Intersections International and has aspects of artistic expression during each event including drama, music and poetry. Different themes that serve as starting points include community wellness, stereotypes, mentorship and interpersonal relationships.

The service project is new for the dialogue in central Iowa and will be an art project facilitated by the Centre for Arts and Artists that is acces-

current Iowa code. He feels the items in question are much safer than fireworks sold in the past.

“When I was little, some fireworks were so hot, you could brand your brother with it, then wait, and then brand your little brother, too,” Bacon said. “These things are nothing like that. You could make a case that the poppers and snappers I’m talking about are safer than some of the snakes and other things we allow now.”

Jasper County state Rep. Dan Kelley said he’s opposed to legislation that would bring in consumer fireworks.

“I’ve listened to the concerns of constituents, insurers, medical professionals, and fire officials — particularly Newton Fire Marshall Mike Knoll,” Kelley said. “They are glad I oppose this bill. I’ve yet to hear from anyone supporting the legal sale of fireworks this session.”

When asked for his input, Newton Fire Chief Jerrod Wellik said his department “does not support legalization of fireworks.”

He also quickly emailed the Newton Daily News a plethora of statistics about firework injuries.

A document from an organization called Iowans Against Fireworks points out the young age of most of the people injured by fireworks, and how nearly half of the injuries are to innocent bystanders. It also states two people needed to have one eye surgically removed at the University of Iowa Hospital due to a fireworks injury.

The document claims that in Missouri, there were 2,650 injuries from fireworks in the years 2002 through 2007, compared to only 431 injuries in Iowa from 2004 to 2011.

Newton resident John Mellinger, of Newton, said his brother, Frank, was killed by a firework in 1928, before John was born. He said even though fireworks now might be much more advanced than anything made in the 1920s, the risk is still there.

“I don’t want to see it,” Mellinger said. “I know people in southern Iowa don’t want to lose revenue from people going to Missouri for fireworks. But the story of my brother needs to be told as well.”

A report released by the Iowa State Fire Marshal lists U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission data for 2013, which shows only 31 percent of injuries were from sparklers, which are legal in Iowa. More than half of injuries are burns, and 31 percent are to hands and fingers, while 38 percent were to some part of the head area.

Kelley points out there are already many celebrations, which involve legally obtained permits, where Iowans already can enjoy fireworks.

“Fireworks should bring our community together to celebrate our independence,” Kelley said. “Not send kids to the E.R.”

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The first Newton Veteran-Civilian Dialogue and Service Project event is set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday with the service project at 9:30 a.m. the following Saturday, both at the Centre for Arts and Artists, 501 W. Third St. N.

sible to people from all backgrounds and includes those with no art experience.

“The VCD event transforms from a “Veteran-Citizen Dialogue” into a “Service Together” art project that will eventually unite every attendee’s own personal art masterpiece VCD message into a larger community art masterpiece,” Light

said. “The purpose of this community art masterpiece is to remind us that the VCD is extremely important, should never be forgotten and should occur forevermore” Founded in 2007, Intersections International is a non-government organization that works at the intersection of people and communities in conflict through peaceful

dialogue using direct service programs, advocacy, educational and informational outreach according to its website. Launched in 2009, there have been more than 3,400 participants in more than 50 dialogues in cities throughout the country.

most recent scheduling of a March 18 trial date. On Wednesday, T.J. Hier, of Baxter-based Hier Law Office, said an expert canine witness, Ron Berman, of Los Angeles, sustained serious injuries in an accident, which had stopped his preparation for the case.

Hier said last month the same witness needed more time to prepare for the trial.

In Wednesday’s motion for continuance, Hier says this “expert witness is essential to adequate defense of this case.”

A motion for resistance filed by Jasper County Assistant Attorney Kelly Bennett said the state “strenuously objects to yet another continuance.” Bennett requested a hearing about the proposed continuance in open court, and also the state’s intention to possibly call witnesses to support the state’s resistance to the defendant’s motion to continue.

District Court Judge Brad McCall granted the state’s request for a hearing, set for 9 a.m. Monday.

The board will set a date for the sale of $1,730,000 in General Obligation School Refunding Bonds.

The date proposed is March 9, which is the date of board’s first regular meeting of March. The second of the three bond items is to approve the bidding method, and the final item is to approve a preliminary official statement for the bonds.

The board voted on Jan. 12 to pursue bond funding for constructing an all-new building on the Berg campus, to be built while the existing building is still being used. The board has yet to publicly discuss building details and features that would affect the exact costs of the new complex, and there has been no designation of which exact grade levels will utilize a re-built facility.

The complex is currently home to the kindergarten through third-grade Berg Elementary and the seventh and eighth Berg

Middle School.

Since Aurora Heights is the site of t h e meeting, the Callaghan s c h o o l ’s principal, Carol Farver, and others will make a presentation called “Educating for a #brightfuture@AH!” Another agenda item include a public hearing for leasing of a fiber-optics network to replace the “Wide Area Network” currently in use for its 12 buildings.

The detailed Request for Proposal, released to vendors on Jan. 8 and posted on the district’s website, mentions a possible 10-year contract and calls for a cutover to new fiber and Newton Schools’ acceptance

by June 30. Consideration of awarding the bid is listed as a separate agenda action-only item.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan will present Department of Educa-

tion guidance on transitional kindergarten, and will provide an update on the former Hy-Vee building that is being converted into an administration building.

The board will also consider forming a subcommittee that would address facilities and long-range planning. That’s an action/ discussion item, with action in bold.

Also on the agenda are a second reading of the new tobacco-free environment policy, the presentation of an audit report, the scheduling of a budget workshop and an attendance and enrollment report.

One item not on Monday’s agenda is the 2015-16 school calendar, as the Iowa State Legislature is still considering at least two bills that would affect the start date of the school year.

The board will hold a regular meeting March 9 at the Emerson Hough building.

The root of all evil

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Feb. 20, 2015

I don’t want get political, but let’s for just a moment. I know you probably don’t want to hear about it, but that’s the problem. Apathy, along with ignorance, is the most dangerous characteristic a community, county, state and country can have — voters have to take responsibility.

A year from now, Iowa will host the 2016 presidential caucus which will do two things: 1. bring qualified, viable candidates to the forefront of the race as well as leave many candidates behind, and 2. Allow ordinary citizens to participate and communicate with potential candidates. Iowa helps inform the nation by determining who passes our wholesome approval and what issues are concerning to us.

Journalists, broadcasters and politicians across the country look to Iowa for our insights and opinion. We’re the head coach of all states, we can either start you or sit you, not only with the candidates but the issues too.

“Iowa is terribly important. It’s the first test in the nation, where we get any test at all,” former Sen. George McGovern said in 1972.

We should be proud. It’s a unique and powerful opportunity, but many of us Iowans take our role for granted.

Caucuses are no place for someone too shy or silent, so I encourage anyone to conquer their shyness now. Practice talking about your viewpoints with family, friends or even your dog.

What’s your opinion? Start preparing to defend it.

There’s one issue that really grinds my gears lately, and it’s one that should concern any voter regardless of party — corporate money.

I know we’ve heard it time and time again but don’t let its redundancy distract you from its severity. The money spent from corporations on both political campaigns and policy decisions is frightening and intensifying.

Money is a growing threat to our democracy and it’s taking place domestically, right under our nose. It’s easier for us to think of threats to our country as foreign, but we’re accepting a dangerous defeat from within our own border. The biggest obstacle facing our electoral democracy in

our towns and smart policy decision making in our offices is corporate money.

In the 2012 presidential election, the Democratic campaign totaled $1.1 billion ($683 million candidate spending, $292 million national party spending and $131 million outside spending). The Republican campaign totaled $1.2 billion ($433 candidate spending, $386 national party spending and $418 million outside spending).

For example, let’s say Monday began a week-long campaign between Coke and Pepsi. Suddenly, you were bombarded with hundreds of messages that saturated all media.

Coke says don’t drink Pepsi.

Pepsi will stain your teeth. Pepsi says don’t drink Coke. Coke causes high blood sugar. Coke says don’t drink Pepsi. Pepsi will lead to diabetes. Pepsi says don’t drink Coke. Coke exports its jobs to other countries. Coke says don’t drink Pepsi. Pepsi created national obesity.

By Friday, you’re not going to want to drink either product.

That’s the same effect, disinterest and distrust excessive mon-

ey in politics has on our country’s constituents. Money closes the door to information, debate and decision making.

It’s not just building up in campaigns but equally as important is the effect special interest groups and lobbyist have on politicians in their policy decisions.

The way to make a substantial impact or at least an effort toward the next election cycle is by representing yourself and your precinct and confronting issues such as corporate influence head on.

There are 8 precincts in Newton and I’m in 1-1.

Join your party affiliation at a local level, speak up about issues you want addressed and join the platform committee if there’s an opening. Ask potential candidates hard questions about whatever issues matter to you, like corporate funding. That’s not only their job to answer them but your job to ask.

“You can’t buy an election in Iowa,” Sen. John McCain said in 2008. I hope that’s still true.

Unavoidable Truths

Hit the road, Hillary

State View

Citizens voice opposition to gas tax I’ve received hundreds of phone calls, emails and letters from Jasper County residents on the gas tax bill. By a margin of 7 to 1, you oppose a dramatic and immediate hike to gas tax.

Many of you, whether in opposition or support, suggested alternative funding, such as utilizing By Dan Kelley Iowa the state’s $1 billion surplus. You Representative were clear, with a huge list of road repairs, we should not be building new roads until we fix up the ones we have. You told me we must focus on rural roads and bridges and place a higher priority on repairing roads in towns like Newton, Baxter, Colfax, Kellogg and Prairie City rather than new, expensive and unnecessary projects in cities such as Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities.

Most of you told me to remember gas prices might be low now, but could be high tomorrow.

I heard you loud and clear — we must find ways to meet our infrastructure needs without raising taxes and putting a disproportionate burden on middle-class Iowans, particularly commuters.

However, legislative leadership and the governor are intent on putting those of us in the middle class in a bind by dramatically and im-

mediately hiking taxes to support an antiquated and ineffective road funding formula.

Raising the gas tax by 10 cents all at once — nearly a 50 percent increase — is too much for working families trying to pay bills and put food on the table. The increase is also too soon because it takes effect immediately. It’s a regressive tax that disproportionately impacts the middle-class, particularly working-families and seniors on fixed-incomes. An immediate increase of 10 cents also will negatively impact Main Street, small business owners and employees.

They will have no time to adjust their budgets to account for higher transportation costs.

We are closer than ever to a dramatic and immediate tax hike because of political games played by the majority party leaders. Here’s how it happened this week.

All bills concerning taxes must pass through the Ways and Means committee before coming to the House Floor for a vote. The majority party leadership’s goal was to pass the bill through the full house as early as next Tuesday and put the bill on the governor’s desk. You would start paying at the pump as soon as he signed it.

But this week brought them an unexpected problem. A majority of Ways and Means committee members expressed serious concerns about the tax hike. Several members, from their own party refused to follow orders to vote yes.

It was doubtful the tax hike would pass the Ways and Means committee as late as Thursday afternoon.

So what did majority party leadership do? Reassess their plan? Open discussion on alternative funding?

Invite rank-and-file legislators from both parties to the bargaining table? Commit to only repairing current roads in rural areas, not new unneeded projects in Des Moines?

No, they didn’t take any of these logical, diplomatic, and ethical steps. Instead, in an unprecedented move, majority leaders punished two of their members who refused to follow orders to vote ‘yes’ by removing them from the Ways and Means committee. They were quickly replaced, and the tax hike passed by one vote within hours.

Political games like this are very frustrating. They make honest discussion, fair-consideration of solutions, and bi-partisan cooperation difficult in the legislature.

I urge majority leaders in both chambers and both parties, as well as the governor, to slow down, reassess this situation, and listen to Iowans who offer new, reasonable solutions to an old problem, proper funding of infrastructure needs.

Political games get us nowhere.

In closing, as a strong proponent for renewable fuels and fuel efficiency efforts, I’m particularly disappointed with this proposal.

This bill falls short in our efforts to expand the use of renewable energy.

In my wildest dreams, I would never suggest campaign strategy to Hillary Clinton, but in my wakeful hours, my temples pulse with ideas.

For a while, I’ve thought it best to By Connie keep my Schultz thoughts to myself, but that was before I started seeing all kinds of advice coming from people who never wait to be asked. Not surprisingly, most of them are men, and — get this — they’re complaining that Hillary has too many men working for her. I love that.

This strategy in male pundit-land makes sense when you think about it. If Hillary Clinton is indeed the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, a lot of guys are going to vie for honorary girlfriend status this time around to make up for all the sexism and misogyny masquerading as wise white men talking in 2008. Even the fellas at Fox News have surely figured out that if there’s one thing women have learned in the past eight years, it’s the thrill of rapid response.

How I wish only the men at Fox News had been a problem back then, but never mind. If I start naming names, I’m going to forget my vows to forgive, and that’s no way to begin the Lenten season.

There’s no point in talking about Hillaryanything without addressing the issue that, based on my social media feeds, is best-cast as “Hillary? Agin?”

I confess to finding this attitude a bit confounding because we’ve yet to elect a female president. No matter what else America’s No. 1 overachiever has done, she still hasn’t led the country from the White House. Save your

sarcasm about her ‘90s co-presidency for those who think a timid wife is a marital asset. My family hasn’t seen one of those women in at least 100 years, to state the obvious.

As for stories about who’s working for Hillary, it’s important to remember who cares about staffing. People who hope to be staff care, definitely.

Donors care, sometimes.

Activists care, too, especially those on the left, because most liberals are eternal optimists looking for reasons to be disappointed.

Most Americans couldn’t care less who’s doing a presidential candidate’s polling or picking soundtracks for campaign ads. They care about the issues that directly affect their lives. Let’s try that coverage for a change.

A CNN/ORC poll released Wednesday showed that when asked whether seven possible presidential candidates better represent the future or the past, 50 percent of Americans picked Clinton as evoking the future. That was more than any other candidate.

By fascinating contrast, 64 percent of Americans said Bush Wannabe No. 3 — let’s call him Jeb — represents the past.

The gender breakdown on Clinton was interesting. Fifty-three percent of men said she’s a throwback, but 55 percent of women saw her as representing the future. I love that statistic because it illustrates what women already know: We’re not a monolithic group.

Oh, my, this campaign is going to drive some men into hibernation for the duration — which, by the way, would be a swell name for a country music cover band. I further suggest that the opening number be that Merle Haggard song about when women could cook and still would. I love belting that out at the top of my lungs when I make my chicken piccata.

Curious wife finds a surprise in husband’s medical records DEAR ABBY: I recently started working at the hospital where my husband receives his primary care. One afternoon, out of curiosity, I accessed his medical records. In his file it was noted that he is high risk for STDs. In fact, he was treated for two different ones some years back.

I have been tested for STDs during all my annual physicals, and the results were always negative. I think it’s because we often go for weeks without any sexual contact.

What should I do with this information? How do I talk to him about it without letting him know that I’m aware of his medical history? — CONCERNED IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR CONCERNED: Unless you claim to be clairvoyant, I don’t see how you can discuss this without admitting you accessed his medical records, which is against the law. Be prepared for him to be irate, because the best defense is a strong offense. You are lucky your husband hasn’t given you an STD. By all means talk with him about this, if only to find out whether you have sex so infrequently because he’s having relations with other people. Now that you know what has been going on, you have some serious thinking to do about staying in this marriage.

DEAR ABBY: I had an abusive boyfriend who, I realized later, had abused his wife and children. After we broke up, my close friend and neighbor asked me if I’d mind if she went out with him. I initially said no, but after thinking about it, I thought how could she? She knew how he had treated me, pushing, shoving and isolating me from my friends.

I had words with her about it, and she said she wasn’t there, so she didn’t know if it really happened. What kind of a woman wouldn’t support me?

He is over there often, and I live right next door. I am furious with her. Do I have a right to be? — ALICE IN NEW MEXICO DEAR ALICE: Your friend must be

desperate for male companionship, or incredibly naive in failing to recognize that what happened to you (and the man’s former wife) won’t also happen to her. Please don’t waste your time being angry. You are lucky to be rid of your abuser and should be grateful you realized he was one before he caused you physical harm.

DEAR ABBY: A woman I know has a husband who is deployed. I would like to send her a card offering support and love, to tell her how thankful I am for both of their sacrifices in the service of our country.

Can you assist with wording and other ideas on how I can be supportive? She lives far away, so this will all be long distance. I don’t want to come across wrong or say something that could offend.

I ran across an article the other day on what NOT to say to military wives, and I’m afraid I may have committed a faux pas and don’t want to do it again. — CIVILIAN IN IOWA DEAR CIVILIAN: If you think you “may” have committed a breach of etiquette, pick up the phone, call the woman and offer an apology. Explain that you read an article about what not to say to military wives, and hope you didn’t offend her. Offer to stay in touch — if that’s what she would like — so you can let her know she and her husband are in your thoughts, and let her suggest other ways you might be helpful even though you are geographically distant.

Senate panel OKs bill that would ban most calls in cars DES MOINES — A Senate panel has approved a bill that would ban people in Iowa from holding a cellphone and talking while driving.

A transportation subcommittee discussed the bill Thursday. It now moves to a full committee for consideration. Current law prohibits people in Iowa from reading, writing and sending messages on an electronic device while driving, though an officer must be stopping a person for a different offense in order to enforce it.

3 Bridge closure limits access

to paved roads in Iowa town

QUARRY — Some residents say the sudden closure of a bridge in the small Iowa community of Quarry has left them with limited access to paved roads.

Marshall County engineer Paul Geilenfeldt said he closed the bridge Feb. 11 because he deemed it unsafe for public use.

He said there is no timeline for the bridge’s repair, which is owned by Union Pacific Railroad, of Omaha, Nebraska. Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said an inspection team will review the bridge Saturday.

LE MARS — A jury has found a western Iowa man guilty of making a bomb threat on a government building and attempting to fight law enforcement officials while naked in his living room. Jeremy Hebert, 37, of Akron was found guilty Wednesday of making a threat to use an explosive or incendiary device. He also was convicted of three counts of assaulting law enforcement officers. Hebert was arrested in November, and authorities say he told them he would drop a bomb on the White House.

5 Man bids $6,100 to buy Iowa town’s rusting, old jail cell

SHELLSBURG — A man has bid $6,100 to buy Shellsburg’s rusting, old onecell jail. The bid by Mike Cooper, of Solon, topped the bid of $1,510 from local residents. They rounded up money for the silent auction in an effort to keep the cell in the eastern Iowa town of around 980 people. Officials decided to get rid of the cell because it took up too much space in the Municipal Building, where it had been sitting for years.

Iowa had 30.5 million acres in farms last year, down 100,000 acres from the year before.

Forecasters say Iowa spring flooding risk at or below normal CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Regional experts for the National Weather Service say the risk of flooding is at or below normal for Iowa this spring.

The reports released Thursday by service meteorologists in Des Moines and Davenport

in Iowa and La Crosse, Wisconsin, covered the potential for river and lake flooding in their respective coverage areas through the end of May. They cited the general lack of snowpack in much of Iowa and said stream levels and frost

depths also were near normal for this time of year.

The meteorologists noted that their predictions could change with the weather. The weather service offices are scheduled to update their spring flooding outlooks on March 5.

PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR OLD NEWSPAPERS

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A quick response from the Newton Fire Department and a Baxter tanker truck helped keep this Thursday fire at 3400 Highway 14, north of Newton, from engulfing a mobile home. Resident Bob Dennison said he was using a propane heater to thaw out frozen pipes, trying to stay away from anything flammable, but the underside of the home caught on fire. Dennison and his fiancé, Cheyenne Parsons, along with children and some cats, all escaped unharmed. Newton Fire Marshal Mike Knoll said some insulation might have caught fire underneath the trailer, which he said suffered some interior smoke damage.

DES MOINES (AP) — Layoffs will begin in March at mental hospitals in Mount Pleasant and Clarinda, despite efforts by some legislators to keep the centers open, a union official said Thursday.

Danny Homan, Iowa president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees said an administrator informed employees at the Mount Pleasant hospital that the first round of layoff notices would be distributed Monday and that those layoffs would take effect March 30.

Homan said an administrator announced layoffs would begin April 20 in Clarinda.

Under Gov. Terry Branstad’s proposed budgets, funding would be cut for the two facilities. Branstad says the hospitals are old and that people can seek mental health treatment from other providers, including two state mental health institutions in Cherokee and Independence.

But the news of impending layoffs surprised legislators from both parties who have argued it’s up to the Legislature, not the governor, to decide whether to close the centers.

Responding to such complaints, Branstad pledged last week to work with legislators.

Legislators questioned Branstad’s promise.

“When you’re laying people off, you’re not working with anybody. You’re just telling people to leave,” said Sen. Mark Segebart, R-Vail.

Sen. Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, added, “If that’s accurate, that’s a serious problem.”

Segebart and Hogg spoke after joining in a unanimous subcommittee vote in favor of a bill that would require the state to keep accepting patients at the four mental health institutions through June.

Supino Continued from Page 1A weeks of testimony, emphasizing the testimony of multiple witnesses who heard incriminating statements by Supino both before and after the 32-year-old murders.

Prosecutors made sure jurors could clearly understand audio for a possible jailhouse confession recorded at the Jasper County Jail the day following Supino’s March 3, 2014 arrest. The recorded phone conversation between the defendant and her brother Tim Supino was played with subtitles Thursday, after a scratchier version aired last week’s during testimony.

While discussing her charge documents, Terri Supino said “I killed Steve Fisher, I didn’t kill anyone else.”

The defense disputes the comment as sarcasm in reference to what Supino called incomplete documentation of her charges.

Multiple statements from people claiming they heard Supino giving what co-defense attorney Steve Addington characterized in his closing argument as “so-called confessions” weighed heavily in Nicholson’s closing. The attorney revisited testimony by former Supino coworker Allison Simmons who said she heard Supino say “my brother and I killed someone once” during a conversation about death during the 9/11 attackers. He also referred to Tyron Jordan’s testimony who claimed Supino threatened him with the statement “I got away with murder once, I can do it again.”

Addington argued that investigators could not find another employee to corroborate Simmons’ claim. But he did not mention that defense witness Whitney Wilcox’s said that Supino’s prior drug use

Dennis Magee/Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier Steven Addington, one of Theresa “Terri” Supino’s defense attorneys, on Thursday, showed jurors a pair of jeans that belonged to his client in 1983.

could have — by her own admission — affected her inability to recall Supino’s 2005 threat to Jordan.

The state attempted to discredit the defendant’s theory that Fisher’s knowledge of former CDR co-owner Hal Snedeker’s drug trafficking gave the rancher motive to kill the two victims. Nicholson reminded jurors Snedeker was not certain that Fisher’s was a police informant until after his death and that the two “were friends.”

The prosecutor ended by reminding jurors of their duties defined in jury instructions and to the brutality of the homicides.

“If you are firmly convinced beyond a reasonable doubt then you should find the defendant guilty — firmly convinced,” Nicholson said. “...The way these two young people were killed, it’s clearly murder in the first degree.”

In his closing arguments, Addington continually came back to a single comment in Nicholson’s closing — repeating the state’s theories were not reasonable doubt.

“The most telling aspect of Mr. Nicholson’s closing argument is when he stood up here and said, ‘while we’re throwing out theories about this case’ — while we’re throwing out theories?” Addington said.

“Their job is to prove my client is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Their job is not to throw out theories hoping that one sticks.”

Addington reminded jurors of the lack of physical evidence tying Supino to the crime scene. The attorney said advances in DNA evidence have made the defense “more confident” about Supino’s innocence. Addington rolled this line of thought into defending a theory of his own — a theory that Snedeker had as much motive to kill Fisher as his client.

“As long as we’re throwing out theories,” Addington said, “the blood stain on Fisher’s Chevy Blazer could have come from the victim sitting straight up with his back to the vehicle — a theory reinforced in testimony by the defense’s blood spatter analyst Paul Kish.” Addington insinuated regardless of what the killer(s) original intent — to find drugs or money — they wanted Fisher to see Gregory’s attack.

Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen rebutted, stating anyone “familiar with angles” would know from this position it would have been difficult for Fisher to see inside the trailer. As the murders brought investigators from multiple law enforcement agencies to Snedeker’s ranch, the county attorney argued Snedeker’s motive to kill Fisher and Gregory on his property would have been greatly diminished.

Alzheimer’s & Dementia Support Group

Addington called the case a “1983 murder mystery” and said the only twist was the arrival of the TNT television program “Cold Justice” in 2014. Addington was critical of the timing of Supino’s arrest during Monday’s cross examination of Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, with the warrant execution occurring on the 31st anniversary of the murders.

“Thirty-two years ago tragedy happened at the CDR. Thirty-two years later a television show came to town,” Addington said. “We’re here today because a cable television show needed a good ending.

But now we’re in a court of law. Now the only thing we need is your verdict based on the evidence.”

Jacobsen rebutted Addington’s criticisms of “Cold Justice” role in the sheriff ’s office investigation. He said bringing in outside experts such as the retired investigators and prosecutors in the TNT program is no different than sending Supino’s pants to Bode Technology Group to locate Fisher’s DNA or calling in independent blood spatter pattern experts as the defense did.

“No one in law enforcement is going to apologize for using every tool available to them,” Jacobsen said.

In his final statement to jurors, Jacobsen repeated what he wanted the panel to take with them into the jury room.

“This case is about Steven Fisher and Melisa Gregory, not some TV show.

That’s part of the investigation.”

Avenged at Class 3A State

Newton’s Lee dominates in 195-pound opener

SPRING FEVER | 2B

Three area wrestlers competing at state

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Just win and advance.

That’s the name of the game at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena.

And that couldn’t have been more true for Prairie City-Monroe senior Tristan Clark on Thursday.

Clark had to bounce back from a second-period deficit and a controversial takedown near the end of the mat in the first Sudden Victory period was the difference during a 4-2 opening-round win.

Perry’s Gisaveri Niyibizi gained a 2-1 lead with a take-

down in the second period, but another escape by Clark evened the match at 2-all. Clark then rode out Niyibizi in the third period and scored the necessary two points in overtime.

“One thing I never worry about with Tristan is his heart and his desire to win,” PCM coach Cory Waddell said.

“That kid took him down fairly easily in the second period.

When you get to overtime, you are both on your feet and the first one to score wins. He showed a lot of heart and that was a great spin around.”

The spin around happened because Clark essentially knew what was coming. He watched CLASS 2A | 8B

Robertson, Dunsbergen fail to advance in Class 1A action

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Both Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Charles Robertson and Lynnville-Sully freshman Josh Dunsbergen had never been to the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships. And neither expected to be eliminated on day one.

Unfortunately for the area grapplers, that’s exactly what happened.

Both Robertson and Dunsbergen draw wrestlers ranked in the top four in the first round but then couldn’t recover in their elimination wrestlebacks at Wells Fargo Arena on Thursday.

Catching a bit of spring fever

Robertson was pinned by Class 1A No. 2 Clay Meinders in the second period at 220 pounds. He was only down 2-1 after one and trailed 4-2 at the time of the pin.

“He was just bigger and stronger than we were. Charles was in it though. He just had a little slip up and a guy that good will take advantage of that,” CMB coach Mike Leslie said.

He got an early takedown and three back points to lead Southwest Iowa’s Bret Blackburn 5-1 after the first period but got put on his back by his own move in the second period.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Newton junior Duncan Lee, top, dominated Johnston’s Boris Petrusic during their first-round 195-pound match Thursday at the 2015 Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena. Lee took a lead with an early takedown and cruised to the 7-0 victory.

I feel spring fever coming on.

Right in the middle of high school winter sports’ postseason action, I feel spring fever coming over me. My focus is on Newton High’s swim team, bowling teams, basketball teams and wrestlers plus the four area high schools the Newton By Jocelyn Daily News Sheets covers, but … Newton Daily there are signs News spring is here.

Sports Editor No, it is not the weather. Although, I keep telling everyone, it could be worse — one word, Boston.

For all you NASCAR fans, the heat of the revving engines at Sunday’s Daytona 500 should warm up a bit.

NASCAR’s Sprint Cup season hits the payment for real in Daytona Beach, Fla., Sunday with Jeff Gordon, who has announced 2015 is his final season, is on the pole.

For me, I have a passing interest in the start of NASCAR action because of my attachment to the people at Iowa Speedway, NASCAR and IndyCar, who I work with in covering races here in Newton. No, dear readers and friends back in Kansas, I am not a converted NASCAR fan, but I’m enjoying all the people involved with the motorsports events here.

Iowa Speedway is hosting a Daytona 500 watch party Sunday open to the public at the Speedway’s Newton Club. Doors open at 11 a.m. and the race starts at noon.

Admission tickets will be available for purchase at the door for $10.

Iowa Speedway will offer food and drink specials throughout the day, and fans will have the opportunity to win great prizes throughout the race, including Iowa Speedway merchandise.

What really brought on the fever pitch — get it — for me is pitchers and catchers reported to the Kansas City Royals’ spring training home in Surprise, Ariz., Thursday.

Oh, that’s right, Royals base-

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Duncan Lee’s rise from a winless sophomore campaign to a state-tournament qualifying junior year has been welldocumented.

Hard work in the weight room and on the wrestling mats this past offseason has paid dividends for the Newton High junior.

Thursday, Lee took another step forward with a dominating win in the opening round of the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships.

Lee got out to a quick start with an early first-period takedown and cruised to a 7-0 victory over Johnston’s Boris Petrusic in a Class 3A 195-pound match. He led 5-0 after two periods and was never really challenged by Petrusic, who defeated Lee 8-4 earlier this season.

“It was big, getting that first takedown and being able ride him out the rest of the period felt really good,” said Lee of his quick start. “The environment here is awesome so it was big for me to get off to a fast start.”

Cardinals stuff Wildcats

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News One final time — seniors Devin Shores, Jordan Travis and Tyler Wood rang the victory bell together Thursday night following a Newton High Cardinal 79-70 win over visiting Carlisle.

There was just one spoiler for the final home game, fellow senior Nick Easley was home ill as was Cardinal head coach Nick Wilkins.

“We’ve been without Coach Wilkins at practice and Nick (Easley) has been out too. We’re hoping to see them Friday at practices,” said Brian Conway, NHS assistant coach, who served as head coach Thursday night. “We’ve told the guys to drink lots of fluids, go home and get a lot of rest.”

Newton finished the regular season with two wins this week. The Cardinals won at Winterset

Monday.

Conway said the big thing right now is for the Cardinals to stay healthy as they head into the postseason. Newton plays Ankeny Monday in the first round of Class 4A Substate 7 tournament action at Southeast Polk at 6:30 p.m.

“We want to be firing on all cylinders going into the playoffs,” Conway said.

At times Thursday, the Cardinals appeared to be firing on all cylinders.

The Wildcats opened with a three-point play

by Josh Hagedorn. Newton responded with backto-back 3-pointers from Wood. A three-point play

by Shores and a fastbreak layup by sophomore Connor Gholson put the Cardinals up 11-5.

Carlisle went on a 13-5 run to gain an 18-14 lead with a minute remaining in the first quarter. Freshman Garrett Sturtz scored for Newton then Gholson

netted a field goal just before the buzzer to knot the score at 18-all.

A jump shot by junior Drew Stout put the Cardinals up 23-21. Wood nailed another 3-pointer to push the advantage to five points by the 5:53 mark of the second quarter.

Newton never trailed again but the Cardinals couldn’t coast. The Wildcats kept coming. Newton held a 36-30 halftime lead.

“I was getting a little frustrated because the game was called pretty tight and I was in foul trouble tonight,” Wood said. “I obviously wanted to play as much as I could in my last game here at home.”

Spring fever Continued from Page 1B We — Royals fans — are still riding the high of the World Series run in 2014 by Kansas City, The Royals broke a 29year playoff drought. It was a great playoff surge by the guys in blue.

Kansas City had some ups and downs during the regular season last year and we have to be aware of that and hope management has taken steps to keep the Royals from the real lows.

I’m cautiously optimistic for 2015. We’ve had some departures from the 2014 team in Billy Butler and James Shields. A few new faces will be on the mound, a new designated hitter and a new outfielder.

But, we do have our big three in the bullpen returning along with our catcher and our full infield. And of course, Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain are back patrolling the outfield after dazzling fans in the playoffs with defensive gems.

I’m getting giddy as I write. Then, again baseball fans always get that way when spring training opens.

Spring high school sports are beginning their practices.

No matter how cold the wind feels outside, spring fevers are ready to pop up.

Tigerhawks ousted from 1A playoffs

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Feb. 20, 2015

Lynnville-Sully boys win, advance to 1A district semifinal

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MOULTON — Defensively, LynnvilleSully’s Hawks made a statement from the opening tip Thursday night in Class 1A District 10 play. The Hawks faced an alltoo familiar foe in fellow South Iowa Cedar League’s North Mahaska Warhawks.

The two SICL teams had just played each other Friday in a regular season finale.

“We set the tone in the first quarter by playing great defense,” said Nick Harthoorn, Lynnville-Sully head coach, following the Hawks’ 54-35 win at Moulton in a district doubleheader.

The Hawks limited the Warhawks to three points in the first quarter to lead 15-3 at the end of the frame. North Mahaska got a little steam up offensively in

the second period, but Lynnville-Sully still led 23-14 at halftime.

“We struggled to score in the second quarter, but got it going again after halftime. We did a much better job rebounding the basketball than we did in our last game,” Harthoorn said.

Lynnville-Sully outscored North Mahaska 19-13 in the third quarter. The Hawks pushed its way into the District 10 semifinals with an 12-8 run in the fourth quarter over the Warhawks.

The Hawks (17-5) take on Moulton-Udell, which beat Seymour 65-63 Thursday night, at Moulton Tuesday.

That semifinal is at 8 p.m. after Sigourney plays Twin Cedars in the first game Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

SEP’s Nolan Hellick-

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B his third foul with 3:45 left in the third quarter and his fourth midway through the fourth quarter.

“But, overall, this was an amazing outcome to our final home game.

We’re on a little winning streak now and I’m sure it will help going into the playoffs,” Wood said.

“Getting honored before the game was tremendous. I really appreciate it and I share reaching the scoring milestone with all my teammates over the years.”

Carlisle used a 6-2 surge at the start of the third quarter to get within two points, 3836, Gholson drained a 3-pointer and Travis scored to push Newton back up. Stout’s three made it 46-38 halfway through the period.

Newton Daily News COLO — Two nights after claiming their first win of the 2014-15 basketball season, ColfaxMingo’s Tigerhawks saw their season come to a halt. Fourth-ranked ColoNESCO rolled to a 74-44 win over visiting ColfaxMingo in Class 1A District 11 quarterfinal action Thursday.

We had good spacing on offense and moved the ball well,” Conway said. “I was really happy we didn’t just settle for threes all night. We have a lot of very good shooters, but we also did a good job of attacking the basket and scoring.”

Conway said Shores and Banfield are very athletic kids and are quick, so when a team has bigger post players guard those two “we like those match ups because Devin and Joe can put it on the floor and drive to the basket.”

Despite foul trouble, Wood led the Cardinals with 16 points. Gholson fired in 15 points.

Astrograph Friday, Feb. 20, 2015

The first weekend of the Pisces sun will be imagination enhancing. With so much creative juice in the air, we would be foolish not to consider unusual paths. Chances are that the best route is a trail that could only be blazed by you. Empathetic and psychic powers are also growing more intense and will continue to do so in the days to come.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 20). Love embraces you all year. How do you know it’s the right plan for you? As it pulls you along, it seems to reverse the effects of gravity. Your strong choice in March starts a new career trajectory. A magical experience in your personal life in April will escalate a relationship. Your expenses will be paid in August. Taurus and Virgo people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 39, 45, 28, 15 and 19.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Knowing when you’re in over your head is one thing; admitting it is quite another. With a bit of

humility, you’ll attract a teacher who is willing to help you in your quest to make more money.

Some small occurrence that you wished would happen will materialize in front of your eyes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You cannot change another person. However, when you offer your assistance without the expectation that the other person will change, you will make a difference.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Needing validation makes you vulnerable. If there are words you long to hear, then hearing them will only weaken you.

Be strong on your own, keep your power, validate yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You refuse to see any situation as tragic or futile and are determined to find whatever advantage might exist. You’ll be successful in this quest, brightening the world for you and the ones you love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you connect with a person as well as you connect with a certain someone, you can communicate profoundly in total silence. Therefore, don’t worry about what you’ll say.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Fantasies become realities. It happens all the time, so why not for you?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You wish everyone well -- yes, every single person. That doesn’t mean you have to like them all.

When you don’t expect to have a great affinity for most people you have to deal with, the way becomes smoother.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Sometimes you feel so connected to nature and the energy of it around you that you wish you could go live in the woods. Appreciating natural beauty makes you more naturally beautiful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a protocol, but

don’t feel overly obligated to follow it. Pretending won’t work today, but doors will open to you when you show who you really are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Territorial issues will come up. There’s a lot you can let slide until next week. Everything that irritates you about others can lead you to a better understanding of yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You genuinely want to make the world a better place for people, but your methods don’t always project that intent.

Let them know that your actions are aimed at the greater good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll search for the value in interactions, and it shouldn’t be so hard to find. When you click with people and you are where you belong, the value will be glaringly obvious.

Moving on: Lee advances to Class 3A quarterfinals at state wrestling Continued from Page 1B Lee did not win a match last year as a 160-pound sophomore. His win Thursday pushed him to 25-10 on the season.

“It goes back to the offseason,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said. “He is in the weight room every day and wasn’t going to settle for mediocre or average. He put in the time. He shows up every day, goes hard every day and does all the little things that we ask him to do. It has paid dividends.”

Not only did Lee improve immensely this past offseason, Swedenhjelm said the gains the junior made during the year should not go unnoticed.

Lee said his conditioning, defense and overall ability to ride out

his opponents has gotten much better since facing Petrusic back in early December.

“He has only lost four matches since Christmas break,” Swedenhjelm said. “We saw some tendencies on film and we were able to take advantage of those adjustments and things worked well for Duncan today.”

Going from no wins last year to a state tournament berth this season was always the goal for Lee. “I never really knew what would happen after last year, but it feels good to see the hard work pay off,” Lee said.

Lee’s next opponent will be one of the tournament’s favorites to win the 195-pound title in North Scott’s Colin Kreiter. Kreiter takes a 41-1 record into Friday’s quarterfinal after a 12-4

major-decision firstround win over Epworth Western Dubuque’s Ryan Kenneally.

“I know he weighs 195 pounds and I know he wrestles,” Lee said.

“That’s all I need to know really. Whether he is ranked second or 200th doesn’t really matter to me that much.

I just have to wrestle my best. Crazy things happen at state.”

Swedenhjelm added, “Once you get to the state meet, you won’t have any easy matches. We expect another tough opponent, tough match.”

Friday’s 3A quarterfinals and second-round consolations begin at 9 a.m. The semifinals and third-round consolations will start at 2:30 p.m.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Clinching it — Newton High junior Duncan Lee has a tight waist cinch on Johnston’s Boris Petrusic as he controls action in Thursday’s Class 4A 195-pound match to open the 2015 Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships in Des Moines.

Class 2A Continued from Page 1B enough tape and talked to enough people in the sport to know that Niyibizi’s two main moves are a duck under and a double-leg.

When Niyibizi (3411) showed that move in the overtime, Clark was ready, and the spin around gave him the winning points near the end of the mat.

“He is definitely one of the strongest and fastest kids that I have ever wrestled. I knew he had a duck under and a double-leg so I was just watching out for that,” Clark said. “I was going to let him shoot and then shuck him around.

It worked out for me.”

There was some question as to whether or not both wrestlers stayed in bounds on Clark’s match-winning take-

Clark won in overtime, 4-2, advancing to the championship quarterfinals Friday.

down. Waddell admitted it was a tough call to make, and the Perry coaches thought the wrong call was made.

“It was really close.

The call could have gone either way,” Wad-

dell said. “I can’t say that I wouldn’t have argued if it went against us because I probably would have. Just like their coach did.

“Winning is the most important thing. He gets

to rest now and has plenty of recovery time.”

Clark, who is ranked fifth and now 42-3 on the season, has already done better than he did last year at the state meet.

He lost his first match in

2013 and ended up 1-2.

The Mustang senior will face Decorah’s Devin Stortz in Friday’s quarterfinals.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Whose pinning who? Lynnville-Sully freshman Josh Dunsbergen, in blue, is not in charge on this move as Cody Fisher of South Winneshiek scores points on his way to an 14-2 win over Dunsbergen in a Class 1A 106-pound consolation match Thursday at the state wrestling meet in Des Moines. Dunsbergen went 0-2 in his first state meet.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Charles Robertson has Bret Blackburn of Southwest Iowa on his back early in a Class 1A 220-pound consolation match. Unfortunately, Robertson didn’t get the pin and Blackburn came back and pinned Robertson in the second period to end the CMB junior’s run at the state tournament Thursday in Des Moines.

Blackburn worked his way back into the match with an escape and a takedown and then stuck Robertson with the score tied at 6-all.

Dunsbergen didn’t fare much better at 106.

The young freshman lost 15-1 in the opening round to 1A No. 4 Blake Bauer of Southeast Warren and then struggled to score points in his wrestleback during a 14-2 loss to Cody Fisher of South Winneshiek. “(Dunsbergen) wrestled that first kid really good, but I’m not sure what happened in the wrestleback,” Lynnville-Sully coach Steve Northcutt said. “He was just as good as that kid who just beat him.

“If he would have wrestled like he did in the first match, he would have won the second one. You have to come to perform in every match, but he may have been down from getting beat. It’s the state tournament though. Anyone can get beat and you have to find a way to pick yourself up and come back.”

It was a short trip to Des Moines for both wrestlers but each will get the chance to return next year. That is the

opening-round bout by a first-period fall.

“Everyone who is here is going to be good, so I can’t overlook anyone,” Clark said. “I will learn about him tonight and stick to the plan that we set.”

Waddell knows his senior grappler is going to have to be more aggressive on his feet if he wants to continue to advance.

“He needs to open up more offense,” Waddell said. “(Niyibizi) took some of our offense away from us, but we have to find ways to score. It won’t get any easier to score as we move along.

It’s going to be very important to score first in the matches ahead. That is what we will work on and that is what we will talk about.”

goal for both grapplers moving forward.

“It was my first time and a good experience, but I want to get back here next year,” said Robertson, who finished his season at 24-10. “I learned some things down here and that should help me next year, too.”

Going 0-2 was disappointing, but Leslie hopes his junior wrestler finds a way to use it as motivation for next season.

“I think it will be a big help next year. He looked really good at the end of the year and I hope this gives him the motivation to put in some extra work,” Leslie said. “It was disappointing, but I think he can use the experience to his advantage.”

Northcutt wasn’t sure Dunsbergen showed his best effort in his two matches, but he competed at the state wrestling meet as a freshman and ended his year at 21-14.

“I thought he looked a little flat and had his head down on the mat too much, but I am happy for him that he made the state tournament as a freshman. He’ll learn from this,” Northcutt said.
