NOT GUILTY

Supino leaves Waterloo a free woman after nearly a year in lockup

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News WATERLOO — After nearly 6.5 hours of deliberation, jurors found Theresa “Terri” Supino not guilty Friday of two counts of firstdegree murder in the March 3, 1983 deaths of her estranged husband, Steven Fisher, and his girlfriend, Melisa Gregory.

Supino broke into tears in the Black Hawk County courtroom after the verdict was reached, immediately embracing her son, Rocky Supino, who had been in the courtroom throughout most of the trial. She also was held by her cocounsel Jill Eimermann,

who was also in tears following the unanimous decisions from the 12-member jury.

Supino said she wanted to thank the jurors for looking at the evidence and not convicting her on a circumstantial case.

After nearly one year of imprisonment, Supino said she planned to spend her first night of freedom with her parents, grandchildren and was going to “go to every fast food joint in town.”

“I didn’t like it, but you know I had to sit back and listen to it. I knew I was innocent, but I had to listen to the evidence and realize that I wasn’t guilty either,” SUPINO | 9A

For 32 years, Supino was the primary suspect in Newton’s most infamous murders at the former Copper Dollar Ranch.

Two NCSD reconfiguration forums scheduled

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Rep. Greg Heartsill, Sen. Chaz Allen and Rep. Dan Kelley spoke with their constituents about the potential gas tax at the League of Women Voters’ second Legislative Coffee Saturday at the Hy-Vee Club Room.

Gas tax hot topic at Legislative Coffee

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A potential 10-cent gas tax hike was the main topic of discussion at the second Legislative Coffee of the year held by the Jasper County League of Women Voters Saturday at the HyVee Club Room. Rep. Greg Heartsill, Rep. Dan Kelley and Sen. Chaz Allen were present to give remarks and answer questions about current issues and citizen concerns.

“I have been for a long time and have been very open about it as a ‘no’ on the fuel tax, because I think there is a better way to come up with this funding,” Heartsill said. “That being said, the gas tax is coming through, making its way through the legislature.”

Heartstill explained how on Thursday in the ways and means committee, the Speaker of the House pulled two ‘no’ votes off of the committee and reas-

signed two ‘yes’ votes to the committee.

“Because of that action, this has become more than just the gas tax now. This is about arm-twisting, D.C.style politics that have now been injected into the Iowa Legislature,” Heartsill said. “It’s hard to be critical of your own party leadership, but I am extremely disappointed, and quite frankly, I am embarrassed at the way that LEGISLATURES | 3A

Relics celebrates first anniversary

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Relics Antiques, including collectibles celebrated its first anniversary in business with an open house Friday and Saturday in Newton. Owner Laurie Nelson welcomed customers, along with the shop pup Minnie, with cake and drinks to celebrate its first year.

“I’ve had pretty good results.

Every day somebody new comes in and I have customers that come in on a regular basis. Some come in just to see the dog,” Nelson said.

Nelson, along with her husband Jerry decided to open up the shop after doing the swap meet and flea market circuit and having a booth at Pappy’s Antique Mall, which closed. Hauling the items in and out at different shows was a lot of work and the couple decided they did not want to do it any more.

“The breakable stuff can only be hauled in and out so many times before something goes,” Nelson said. “We actually were

needing a place to sell our stuff and so after maybe a month of discussion we decided to jump in.”

The two-floor shop, located in a prime location on the west side of the square at 115 W. Second St. N., houses booths for vendors to rent and sell their merchandise and is full of anything a person might want. As the name suggests, it is filled with antiques and collectibles along with some furniture, knick-knacks and home items.

“A lot of times they say (the vendors) do better at Relics than other locations they have booths,” Nelson said.

Over a year’s time, Nelson has interacted with hundreds of people who walk through the shop, but one stood out in her mind when asked about memorable customers.

“A lady came in and was looking at a Thomas the Train ride downstairs and she was trying to convince her husband to buy it for their son. He was afraid that he would outgrow it, and her response was ‘we’re a short family;

he’ll be able to ride it for a while,’” Nelson said.

Nelson has been an active participant in events held on the square including Ridiculous Day and Bike Nights. She is also excited to see the farmers market back downtown this year. She also has expanded her presence to a Facebook page, updating it frequently with new or exciting items.

“I think it (the farmers market) will be good for downtown,” Nelson said. “Usually, if there is any activities, I am going to be open.”

As for future plans, Nelson plans to stay put and continue growing her business. She currently has a few spots available for vendors, but as you can tell when you walk through the door, she has a popular location that stays full.

“I think we are going to hang out here for a while. People tell me I need a bigger store, but I’m not ready to take that leap yet,” Nelson said.

Presnall appointed to DMACC board of directors ANKENY — Dennis Presnall, Executive Director and Secretary-Treasurer of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and Senior Vice President-Secretary of Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company and Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company, has been appointed to the Des Moines Area Community College Board of Directors.

“I’m a firm believer in the importance of community colleges and the expanding role they play in postsecondary education,” said Presnall. “The two years I spent at a community colPresnall lege before attending a state university were instrumental in helping me obtain the foundation for future success. We’re seeing a growing need for skilled labor that required a new focus from postsecondary education.

DMACC has set the standard for meeting those challenges and I look forward to serving on the board.”

Presnall, 61, was unanimously approved to fill the vacancy in Director District 6 created by the resignation of Carl Metzger. Metzger resigned from the board because he moved out of the district to accept the Des Moines Assistant Manager’s position. The DMACC board position will be on the ballot during the September 2015 school board election.

Presnall and his wife, Bev, live in Ankeny. They have three children and three granddaughters.

Surging dollar takes bite out of US corporate profits NEW YORK (AP) — The biggest obstacle for Coca-Cola and Pepsi these days isn’t tied to taste tests, the declining popularity of sugary drinks or even their century-long rivalry. It’s the surging U.S. dollar.

The two soda giants rely on overseas customers for roughly half of their revenue. When they turned in their quarterly results last week, both reported a drop in sales. The strong dollar made all the difference: strip it out and shrinking sales suddenly rise.

The dollar has been a source of constant complaint this earnings season.

Global corporations from Avon Products to Yum Brands have said their quarterly results would have been much

better if it hadn’t been for the rising dollar. For some, the currency’s strength has meant the difference between a profit and a loss.

“It has really hit earnings,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank.

Over the past year, the dollar has climbed 17 percent against major currencies. The surging dollar and plunging oil prices are the main reasons analysts keep cutting their forecasts for corporate profits even though economists expect the U.S. economy to pick up speed.

Back in October, analysts estimated that companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index would post profit growth of 11 percent for the final three months

of 2014. That forecast now looks overly optimistic. With only a handful of companies left to report, corporate profits are on track to rise more than 7 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ. Forecasts for this year have taken a much bigger hit. In December, for example, analysts projected that profits would increase 9 percent in the first quarter. Today, they expect them to shrink more than 2 percent over that same period.

A strong U.S. dollar might seem like a badge of honor, a reflection of U.S. economic power in the global economy, but for much of Corporate America, it’s bad for business. Almost half of all revenue for companies in the S&P 500 comes

from outside the United States, mainly Europe and Asia. So when the dollar rises against the euro, it hurts in two ways: Prices of American-made goods become more expensive to customers in Europe, and goods that move off foreign shelves translate into fewer dollars, showing up as lower revenues and earnings on quarterly financial reports.

At Procter & Gamble, revenue fell 4 percent in the quarter but would have increased 2 percent if the dollar had stayed put. And the maker of Tide detergent and Pampers diapers doesn’t think the drag from the dollar is over yet. It estimates that the currency’s rise will shave $1.4 billion from its profit over the course of the full year.

The Berg Complex is currently grades 7 and 8 on the middle-school side, which is unlikely to change.

this legislation is being ram-rodded through the legislature. That’s not how we do things here in Iowa.”

Kelley agreed with Heartsill that it became about more than the gas tax and any funding that would go to rural infrastructure needs. He did differ about the timing of the political move. Although this style of politics usually comes later in the session, in April when budget talks were in final stages, Kelley was not surprised that it happened.

“I really thought that the gas tax would be one of those chess pieces that were played at the end of the session. That isn’t what’s happening and it tells me that there’s major forces at hand that is pushing leaders to take these steps,” Kelley said. “I think that the people that lose in this situation are the people of Iowa, the businesses and the farmers who need infrastructure repairs to roads and bridges.”

Allen said he voted against the senate version of the bill because he also believes there are other avenues to find funding. He gave examples of rest stops, interchanges and the addition of stop lights that are very costly, but not always needed.

Heartsill said he agreed with Allen about not finding all of the efficiencies available and that the tax is popular because it is thought to be the path of least resistance. Instead of doing several legislative actions to help recoup the money, the tax would be one action that may not bring in the projected funds in coming years because of efficiencies in vehicles.

A small portion of the money raised through the gas tax would fund rural infrastructure needs, although actually getting the money to rural areas can often be a challenge. The legislators all gave solutions and options on how to get the money where they feel it should go.

“I think that there is a very logical answer and that is to make our rural infrastructure budget actually go to rural infrastructure instead of pet projects in urban areas,” Kelley said.

They all said several times they believe the tax bills will pass and could pass as soon as next week. If that is the case, the tax would go into effect the first of the next month which could pose a problem for those with fixed incomes or people having a hard time making ends meet, giving them no time to plan for the increase.

The next Legislative Coffee will be held at 9 a.m. March 21 in the Hy-Vee Club Room.

Learning to abide

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Feb. 23, 2015

Last week my sports editor walked into my office and told me I need to step up my bowling game.

While it would not take a sports expert to draw this conclusion, she had taken note of my embarrassing scores while preparing the bowling league results for publication.

While it was pointed out with a smile and a laugh, by all accounts she is right, I do in fact need to step up my game.

The thing is sometimes I have talent. That’s true of all of us on Team Abide — which includes my husband and another couple who reeled us in after participating in two other seasons of league bowling.

Our team name is derived from “The Big Lebowski,” a comedy starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi. The three make for an interesting bowling team to say the least, and there are dozens of memorable quotes from the film

— one being, “the Dude abides.”

Thus, we try to abide.

But two months into playing league bowling, I can confidently say I don’t have what it takes. It’s a game of highs and lows, so one frame I’m bowling a strike and the next is a gutter ball. I’m entirely too dramatic about it too, often stating my frustration after each roll.

To be honest, I have no idea what I’m doing except trying to have fun — isn’t that the key to most sports? Yet, my definition of fun means I must break 100 and/or beat my husband, otherwise I’m just mad.

I’ve always been an average bowler who sometimes finds luck.

One of my favorite dating stories stems from college when my date suggested we spend the night bowling. I dominated, making several strikes and spares and ultimately beat him in every game. He never called for another date, and it was definitely

because he was a sore loser.

I’ve kind of developed a similar attitude, although not to that pathetic extreme.

If you take a look around Cardinal Lanes on a Friday night there are many skilled players, some I would describe as masters of the game.

I just try to throw the ball down the lane and hit the middle of the pins. That’s honestly my strategy. Sometimes it even works. (I’m basically priding myself on having not thrown my ball backward into my teammates at this point.)

There is definitely no shortage of advice when it comes to the game of bowling. I’ve been told to let the ball do the work, relax, be the ball (whatever that means) among many other suggestions such as where to stand, how to approach and throwing technique.

As a team, we’ve spent a lot of time talking strategy and we’ve taken several different approaches

to bowl successfully — it’s a balance of using the right ball, the dryness in your hand, how many pitchers of beer are consumed and energy level.

If you have another obligation on a Friday you’re required to prebowl and that’s where I can really struggle. Trying to fit three games of bowling into a lunch hour created the embarrassing results of last week. By game three I was exhausted, and even panting at one point.

There’s no doubt bowling is a chore.

The positives for me include being active during the winter, meeting new people, spending time with our good friends — and acquiring bowling shoes. I’d always wanted some.

So if I can stay focused on those things I think I can abide, and maybe I’ll even improve my game.

Eye on America

No gatekeepers

State View

How should our state universities be funded?

Historically, state universities and colleges have received state funding based on the number of full-time students enrolled at the beginning of the semester.

Many states are reconsidering this type of enrollment-based funding.

S u p p o r t e r s By Chaz Allen say outcomes- Iowa Senator based funding (also known as performancebased funding) policies can be a powerful tool for supporting increased postsecondary student achievement. State lawmakers can use funding to encourage institutions to adopt practices that better serve students, support their success and ensure they get a degree, supporters say.

The number of traditional college-age Iowans and the number of high school seniors has declined in recent years and is expected to continue its downward trend. That, along with a

Board of Regents proposal to give more money to our state universities for enrolling Iowans, has our higher education institutions preparing to compete harder for Iowa’s shrinking pool of college-bound residents.

Representatives from Iowa private colleges and community colleges recently told legislators about their concerns over the proposal. Gary Steinke, director of the Iowa Association of Independent College and Universities, says it creates unwelcome competition between our state universities and other higher education options.

Steve Schulz, president of North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) in Mason City, expressed similar concerns.

NIACC, like many community colleges, has faced decreasing enrollment amid a recovering economy and fewer Iowa high school graduates. With 53 percent of community college’s general funding coming from student tuition and fees, a decline in enrollment forces a tuition increase on Iowa’s

middle-class families.

Retired Maytag CEO Len Hadley says that, of the more than two dozen states that have tried performance-based funding, about half have dropped it. He believes an Iowa plan to base 60 percent of university funding on in-state enrollment is out of line with other states’ experience with performancebased funding.

Dubuque City Manager Michael Van Milligen and Greater Dubuque Development Corporation Vice-President Sarah Harris addressed the potential for unintended consequences to the Iowa economy with the public university funding proposal. The University of Iowa and Iowa State attract thousands of outof-state students each year, with many making their home here after graduation. The new funding proposal could deter out-of-state student recruitment, hurting our state’s efforts to attract young people who can fill the need for skilled workers.

For years, people assumed encyclopedias had to be created by professionals.

T h e n Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wa l e s a t tempted to create an ency- By John Stossel clopedia without central planners.

That sounded like a terrible idea to the old gatekeepers — people who hired experts to carefully fact-check and edit every encyclopedia entry. When they heard that Wales would crowdsource an encyclopedia, one Encyclopedia Britannica editor sneered, “The user who visits Wikipedia is a visitor to a public restroom.”

But today research shows that Wikipedia is as accurate as Encyclopedia Britannica. Wikipedia is now the sixth most visited website, and the hardcover Encyclopedia Britannica no longer exists.

“It’s a bit sad in a way,” says Wales. “I love Britannica. But I love candles, too, and I sure wouldn’t give up my electric light.”

When I say Wikipedia is crowdsourced, I mean that millions of readers edit the entries. Their power to correct things is weighted according to the reputation they acquire from the “crowd.” Without being paid, this army of amateurs takes pride of ownership.

They work hard to keep their entries accurate.

After model/actress Anna Nicole Smith died, someone changed her Wikipedia entry to something vulgar. It was fixed within minutes.

The amateur editors specialize, says Wales.

“There is a group of people who say, look, we’ve got all these entries about bridges, we want to make sure they’re all really good, because we love bridges; we’re bridge fanatics. I mean, who knew bridge fanatics exist?”

But they do. So do fanatics who want to get things right about Roman history, bacteria, spy novels and so on.

That this could be accurate without strict central

planning is hard to grasp.

Even Wales started out thinking that some kind of planner was necessary. He hired a Ph.D. in philosophy to edit a more centralized online encyclopedia, Newpedia. It failed.

But Wikipedia, without a central plan — just a few simple ground rules — flourished. Wales likens the lesson to economist Friedrich Hayek’s insights about why decentralized, free-market decisions are wiser than centralized, socialist planning: The crowd possesses “local knowledge” that experts can’t begin to replicate.

Many of today’s most popular websites — Google, Indiegogo, Facebook — thrive because they gave more control to users than to the founders.

They also help users get things done without relying on gatekeepers at publishing houses, mainstream media or colleges.

Defenders of government and central planning often say that there are some things we just can’t leave to individuals, things that require government central planning, such as road building. But often that’s not true either.

In Britain, a highway was damaged by heavy rains. The local government promised to repair it. “After three weeks, they said it’s going to be three months. After three months, they said a year,” entrepreneur Mike Watts told me.

Mike’s wife then told him he should build the road. Although he had no road-building experience, he agreed to try. He went to the local pub and persuaded a farmer to let part of his land be used for the project.

Government said it would take a year to rebuild the road. On TV one bureaucrat said, “you can’t just do what you want ... (Everything must) conform to highway standards!”

But Mike built his “private road” in just 12 days. He paid for it by collecting a $3 toll. Drivers cheerfully paid because Mike’s road saved them so much time. (British private toll roads like this are where we got the word “turnpike.” Private tollbooth operators would lift a “pike” to let the horses through.)

MAT tumblers competes in Iowa Falls Newton Daily News MAT Tumbling/ Trampoline team traveled to Iowa Falls on snowy roads to compete at a USTA tumbling, trampoline and double mini trampoline meet Jan. 31 - Feb. 1.

While Saturday had a strong MAT showing, Sunday proved to be a tricky commute for most families. Several competitors ended up not being able to compete in the tumbling division because of bad traveling conditions. Those who were able to attend did well. Many athletes saw score improvements between this meet and the last.

“It is very rewarding to see our athletes improve and progress from meet to meet. We are looking towards the future with these young athletes and they are improving day by day,” said Coach Ron Brooks.

Daughter asks to be relieved of obligation to visit her dad DEAR ABBY: I am a divorced woman with a teenaged daughter. I maintain a good relationship with my ex-husband and his family, and still consider them my family.

The problem is, my ex and our daughter have a strained relationship, mostly because he makes little effort to spend time with her. He doesn’t attend her school functions, and most of the time when she’s with him he’s sleeping or watching TV. She is also sick of the multiple girlfriends that cycle in and out of his life. He doesn’t realize how much these things affect her.

She has asked me not to make her see him anymore. She’s 15, and I’m unsure if the law allows her to make that decision, but I think it’s unwise and she would regret it later. I also worry that everyone in the family will blame me, and my relationship with them will be strained.

I don’t know if I should just tell him she won’t be coming to his house anymore or if I should continue to make her go. I’m not sure he really cares. I’d appreciate any advice. — WORRIED MOM IN ARKANSAS DEAR WORRIED MOM: Have you discussed this with your ex? If you have and nothing has changed, then I don’t think you should force your daughter to go any longer. But check with a lawyer to be sure about the law in your state.

When daughters are ignored the way yours has been, they begin to think there’s something wrong with themselves — that they deserve it. It can have a lasting negative impact on a girl’s self-esteem, which is not healthy. That she no longer wants to be subjected to it is understandable.

If you’re afraid your former in-laws will blame you, tell them what you have told me. Whether your ex cares or is relieved is something no one can know until she doesn’t show up, and I sincerely doubt she’ll have any regrets about not having to tolerate those distasteful visits later on.

DEAR ABBY: My social circle includes a woman who has problems in restaurants. Something comes over her in this environment — either the waiter is ignoring her, the order is taking too long, she wants to tweak the menu to her liking, the cost is too high or there’s a mistake on the bill. There is no end to it.

One night she didn’t like the salad, so she picked up bits of it and tossed them on the table. Needless to say, no one wants to go out with her anymore. Her husband, however, is a great guy. When we mentioned this to him, he replied, “You’ve noticed it, too?”

Have you heard of this? What’s wrong with her? She is strong-willed in most things, but the restaurant scene is her extreme. Any light you can shed on this would be most appreciated. — LOST MY APPETITE IN INDIANA DEAR LOST: Having never met the woman, it’s hard to pinpoint what may be wrong. She may have OCD, be easily frustrated, or be displacing anger or frustration about something else onto the servers who cannot defend themselves.

Frankly, the woman sounds like a pain in the posterior, and because she makes a habit of making those around her uncomfortable, I’m having trouble understanding why you continue to socialize with them. Many people wouldn’t. Perhaps the husbands can arrange to see him socially without her being present.

1 Lawsuit over planned sports complex reaches trial

DUBUQUE — The trial over plans to develop a sports complex at the “Field of Dreams” movie site in eastern Iowa is underway. Neighboring landowners filed the lawsuit to challenge the way city officials decided to rezone the area around the site for commercial use. The trial began last Monday and was expected to last seven days. Opponents of the All-Star Ballpark Heaven project worry about the increased traffic and noise that would accompany the planned complex of youth sports fields.

City officials said the ducks on the lagoon at Vander Veer Park helped keep the ice from freezing solid. Parks and Recreation Director Scott Hock says the ducks generated enough heat that city workers couldn’t use heavy equipment to clear the ice.

Gov. Branstad’s cannabis oil idea faces roadblocks cal marijuana law said it’s unrealistic.

“Not plausible at all.

Probably will never be proposed,” said Rep. Lou Lang, a Democrat from Skokie. “The governor of Iowa is talking nonsense.”

Branstad’s spokesman, Jimmy Centers, didn’t respond to Lang’s comment but said Branstad wants to meet with Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner to talk about the idea while both men are attending meetings in Washington.

“The governor wants to explore opportunities and reasonable solutions with neighboring states that would allow those suffering from severe epilepsy to obtain the cannabis oil,” Centers said in an email.

Catherine Kelly, Rauner’s press secretary, did not answer questions about Branstad’s remarks, but released a statement saying, “The governor will carefully review and consider any proposals regarding the medical marijuana program that cross his desk.

He has always said he wants to make sure the law is followed, and the safety and well-being of the people of Illinois are protected.”

Illinois approved legislation in 2013 to create a pilot program for the production and distribution of medical marijuana. The law

DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad’s suggestion that Iowa residents could one day head to neighboring Illinois to buy cannabis oil has major legislative roadblocks if it’s ever seriously Branstad considered, according to people following the industry who say it highlights the dilemma for states that allow some medical marijuana without a clear path to access it.

At a news conference this month, Branstad said he was open to working with Illinois officials so Iowa residents could visit that state to purchase cannabis oil for the treatment of severe epilepsy.

He noted a dispensary was planned in the Quad Cities area, just over the Mississippi River.

“This is an area that I think we need to be very thoughtful and very careful about,” he told reporters. “We want to do what we can to try to help the families, but we don’t want to create a lot of unintended consequences.”

Submitted Photo Donna and Jeff Gladson, of Newton, claimed the $30,000 Powerball prize.

Gladsons win big prize in recent Powerball drawing Newton Daily News A Newton man said he found out he won a big Powerball prize after having his tickets checked during a recent trip to the gas station.

Jeff Gladson said his wife, Donna, went in to check his Powerball tickets while he fueled up the vehicle, and she quickly came running out of the store.

“She came out yelling and screaming at me,” he said. “I thought I pumped the wrong gas in the vehicle or something.”

One of Gladson’s tickets matched four white balls and the Powerball in the Feb.

11 drawing to win a $10,000 prize, and since he added the Power Play option to his purchase his winnings tripled to $30,000.

“I had to go in there and confirm it,” Gladson told lottery employees Friday as he claimed his winning ticket at the lottery’s headquarters in Clive.

“I didn’t get much sleep (that) night either.”

The winning numbers in that night’s $564.1 million jackpot drawing were: 11-1325-39-54 and Powerball 19. The Power Play number was 3.

The massive jackpot was split by three tick-

ets purchased in North Carolina, Texas and Puerto Rico. Wednesday’s jackpot is an estimated $50 million.

Gladson said he’s a regular Powerball player and purchased his winning ticket at Casey’s, 1018 First Ave. E. in Newton. He said his lottery winnings will used to buy a new pickup truck.

Gladson was one of two Iowa Lottery players to win a $30,000 prize in the Feb. 11 drawing. Becky Lomen, of Waukon, also won a $30,000 Powerball prize on a ticket she purchased at Huba Huba, 9 Ninth St. SW in Waukon.

specifies that only registered Illinois residents can access it, meaning Illinois law would need to be changed.

Lang, who authored Illinois’ medical marijuana bill and pushed it for years before it got enough support, said he’s already having trouble extending the pilot program past 2017, when it expires.

He certainly doesn’t see support for making changes like allowing out-of-state residents to buy the product.

Branstad signed a bill into law last year that allows some residents with epilepsy to use oil with an ingredient derived from marijuana for treatment. The oil has little of the ingredient in marijuana known to give people a “high.”

The law did not establish an in-state program for the production and distribution of the oil, which critics say makes it useless.

Even if Iowa residents could buy the oil in Illinois, they would have to stay there to consume it; federal law categorizes all forms of marijuana as a drug with no medicinal purposes and prohibits its transportation across state lines. Depending on where an Iowa resident lives, they could face a long commute into Illinois.

Fearing Ebola, N. Korea bars tourists from marathon

Obama open to changes to military authority against IS

The Associated Press

The Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is open to negotiating with Congress on his request for new authorization for military force against Islamic State militants, including his proposed three-year time limit on U.S. military action and the use of American troops, according to the White House.

After a weeklong holiday break, lawmakers return to Washington on Monday and start work on Obama’s request. Some Republicans say Obama’s proposal is too restrictive for the mission to succeed. On the other side, some Democrats want more limitations on Obama’s authority so the United States doesn’t sign on for another open-ended war.

White House officials said Obama is firmly opposed to any geographic restrictions on where the U.S. military can pursue Islamic State militants, who have strongholds in Iraq and Syria but have been operating across international boundaries. But they said he is open to debate on much of the rest of his offer and is willing to discuss the three-year time limit in Obama’s draft and the hotly debated section on ground troops.

“I’m not at all going to be surprised if there are members of Congress who take a look at this legislation and decide, ‘Well, I think there are some things that we should tweak here, and if we do, we might be able to build some more support for,’” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.

“So I think it is fair for you to assume that this reflects a starting point in conversations.”

AP Photo Michael Keaton, left, and Alejandro G. Inarritu, and the cast and crew of “Birdman” or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) accept the award for the best picture at the Oscars on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

‘Birdman’ takes flight at an Oscars punctuated by politics The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — The long take of “Birdman” has stretched all the way to the Academy Awards, where the jazzy, surreal comedy about an actor fleeing his superhero past took Hollywood’s top honor in a ceremony punctuated by passionate pleas for equality.

On a stormy night in Hollywood, the 87th annual Academy Awards — which came in humbled by backlash to its all-white acting nominees — bristled with politics and heartfelt speeches about women’s rights, immigration, suicide prevention, governmental surveillance and race.

In a battle of B-movies for best picture, the Oscars awarded “Birdman” best picture, opting for a movie that epitomizes Hollywood — showy, ego-mad, desperate for artistic credibility — over one (“Boyhood”) that prized naturalism and patience.

“Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” also won best director for Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, best original screenplay and best cinematography.

“Maybe next year the government will inflict immigration restrictions,” said Innaritu, recalling last year’s best director winner, Alfonso Cuaron. “Two Mexicans in a row. That’s suspicious, I guess.”

Inarritu, a largerthan-life figure of frizzy hair regularly wrapped in a scarf, concluded the night’s many moving speeches that called for societal progress. Inarritu said he prays his native country finds “a government we deserve” and that immigrants to the U.S. “can be treated with the same dignity and the respect of the

ones who came before and (built) this incredible immigrant nation.”

The ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, hosted

by Tony Award veteran Neil Patrick Harris, was heavy on song-anddance to near-Grammy levels. Lady Gaga lavishly performed “The Hills Are Alive” from “The Sound of Music” with a rapt Julie Andrews looking on.

The awards overwhelmingly went to less-seen independent films and were widely spread around. All eight of the best-picture nominees won awards, including Eddie Redmayne for best actor for his technically nuanced performance as Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.”

“Please know this that I am fully aware that I am a lucky, lucky man,” said the young British actor. “This belongs to all of the people around the world battling ALS.” All of Sunday’s big winners were firsttimers, including best actress winner Julianne Moore, who won for

her performance as an academic with early onset Alzheimer’s in “Still Alice.”

“I read an article that said that winning an Oscar could lead to living five years longer,” said Moore. “If that’s true, I’d really like to thank the academy because my husband is young than me.”

Harris gave the Academy Awards a cheery tone that sought to celebrate Hollywood, while also slyly parodying it.

He began the night: “Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest — I mean brightest.”

Though Richard Linklater’s 12-years-inmaking “Boyhood” was the critical favorite for much of awards season, it won only best supporting actress for Patricia Arquette.

“To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation,” said Arquette.

“We have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once for all. And equal rights for women in the United States of America.”

The deep freeze that broke records in hundreds of cities across the eastern half of the United States on Friday will last most of next week.

Another widespread round of ice, snow or freezing rain is set to start falling Saturday from Missouri to the mid-Atlantic and as far south as Alabama and Georgia.

“Higher amounts over the next two days will probably be across southern Indiana and Illinois and eastward through Ohio into western Pennsylvania,” said Bruce Sullivan, a senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “That’s where it looks like the jackpot will be.”

But even before the latest snowstorm, residents had to deal with school cancellations, power outages, road hazards and water main breaks from the punishing cold.

Here’s a look at the latest weather and the effect it is having around the country: Siberian Express?

“Polar vortex” is so last year. Forecasters are calling the record-setting bout of icy air the “Siberian Express” because winds coming from Russia are traveling over the Arctic Circle and pushing into Canada and the United States.

“We can almost show the trajectory from Siberia all the way to the U.S.,” Sullivan said, noting meteorologists began using the term long ago.

Despite being the buzzword of winter 2014, polar vortex also has been used for decades in meteorology. It is a pocket of very cold air that typically swirls around the North Pole.

“Sometimes little pieces break off,” Sullivan said. That has also happened this week, meaning a frosty one-two punch.

NASA Shivers Schools in Alabama sent students home early and NASA shut down its Huntsville facility Friday as a storm began unloading ice, sleet and snow.

The weather service said roads were impassable in at least seven counties.

Dozens of school systems dismissed students early or canceled classes altogether.

TOKYO — Further restricting travel to the already isolated country, North Korea barred foreigners from one of its most popular tourist events — the annual Pyongyang marathon — because of concerns over the Ebola virus, travel agencies said Monday.

While no cases of Ebola have been reported anywhere near North Korea, the country shut out foreign tourists in October with some of the strictest Ebola regulations in the world. North Korean media have suggested Ebola was created by the U.S. military as a biological weapon.

Nick Bonner, co-founder of Beijing-based Koryo Tours, said he did not think the decision reflected any deeper problems in the North’s secretive and often enigmatic government, though the news comes amid reports leader Kim Jong Un has called for increased combat readiness and, at a meeting of senior party and military leaders, described tensions on the peninsula as graver than ever before.

North Korea has been under increasing pressure from the U.N. over its human rights record and is facing new sanctions from Washington over its alleged involvement in the massive hack attack on Sony Pictures in December. Joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea that the North says are a provocation will also begin soon.

Bonner said more than 400 foreign runners had signed up with his agency alone for the event, which is to be held April 12. He said he was informed by officials on Monday that the race — billed as one of the most exotic marathon locales on Earth — would be open only to local runners.

Local News Supino Continued from Page 1A she said. “Now they can just leave me the hell alone.”

After the verdict Supino was handed a phone with her daughter Casey Supino on the line. With a smile, Supino said, “I’m coming home.”

Supino said she did not want to verbalize her thoughts toward investigators, but was visibly angry toward the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, accusing the department of taking 30 years of her life. She accused law enforcement of chalking the case up to entertainment by bringing in the TNT cable show “Cold Justice” to assist with the investigation. Supino said Friday she is considering a lawsuit against the television show.

“They wouldn’t air the show unless they had someone in custody, and that somebody was me,” she said.

“Even now, I’m not done. I’m going to sue somebody.”

In the courtroom galley, Rocky Supino said he was happy to see his mom smile again, but he was also critical of county law enforcement’s handling of the Copper Dollar Ranch murders. The task now turns, he said, to rebuilding his family’s name — but he said worries with the publicity surrounding his mother’s arrest there may never be full redemption.

“Honestly, I think it’s terrible they had to harass us for 30 years and not look in other places,” Rocky Supino said.

“It was just her the whole time. I don’t think that’s fair to her or anybody else.”

Jurors weighed crime scene evidence as well as anecdotal testimony from witnesses close to Supino and the vic-

tims for nearly three weeks to clear Supino of killing Fisher, 20, and Gregory, 17, at the former CDR northwest of Newton.

But Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen and Sheriff John Halferty reiterated trial testimony and statements during a post-verdict interview about using resources provided by the cold case show. The sheriff said it was about bringing in expertise for a “fresh look.”

“I’m not going to apologize for using any means that we can to bring a case to a jury,” Jacobsen said. “What they did for us, they helped us organize it. They had the experience. They’ve tried cases like this before. They’ve worked cold cases. They know how to go through the evidence and present it appropriately, and we used that resource.”

Jacobsen said his office would not have brought charges against Supino if they didn’t feel they could secure a guilty verdict. He also answered remaining questions of the role Terri’s twin brother, Tim Supino, played in the murders. The state, Jacobsen said, will not likely be bringing charges against Tim Supino, who was originally considered a suspect and widely rumored to be involved or have knowledge of the murders. Jacobsen said he felt their best case was against Terri Supino.

Halferty said he was disappointed, but felt his office presented the case to the county attorney’s office to the best of its ability. He said he fully supports the jury’s decision and thinks they did not make a “rush judgment.” As of Friday, Halferty said “the case is closed” and there is not an active investigation into the murders. But he also left

the door open to entertaining new leads if those ever arise.

“There are a lot of questions that our community had over the years. There was a lot of rumors a lot of information,” Halferty said. “We had a lot of things to wade through over 30 years. Even through 2013, we were doing interviews with potential people with information not related to Ms. Supino.”

Jacobsen said there wasn’t one separate piece of evidence that was a smoking gun allowing his department to file charges, but he said he felt Supino’s pants found with Fisher’s DNA in 2013 helped solidify Supino’s motive in the case — although he agreed that the evidence never put Supino at the crime scene.

“We put in the best case we could,” Jacobsen said.

“The jury spent a lot of time, three weeks. They were out 6.5 hours; they considered all the evidence, they were very attentive, and we accepted the verdict.”

The jury’s decision leaves more questions for victims’ families and a community left in confusion for nearly 32 years after the brutal killings. Families of the victims left the Black Hawk County Courthouse quickly after Friday’s verdict following a private meeting with county prosecutors and law enforcement. Darlene Illingworth, Fisher’s sister, said her family shut off their phones Friday night to allow time for private reflection and to process the not guilty verdict.

In a phone interview Saturday, Fisher’s older sister said it’s difficult to see a way forward through the legal system.

“I think it’s over. I don’t know where (police) go from here,” she said. “We just move on with our lives from her. We knew going in to the trial — it wasn’t going to be easy. We worked so hard to get closure, and maybe this is all the closure we’re going to get.”

Lisa Gregory, Melisa’s eldest sister, said the verdict

does not change her opinion toward Terri Supino’s involvement in the killings. But there is closure for the family.

Gregory said the witnesses who came forward to testify on behalf of the state provided a clearer picture and provided comfort that had been missing for nearly 32 years.

“I’m sure if we hear something we’ll let (police) know,” she said. “They say the case is closed, but it’s not.”

The trial has brought Gregory and Fisher’s families more information and a better understanding of the years and days leading to their siblings’ brutal killings. For that, Illingworth said, her family is thankful.

“I have a lot more information now than I ever knew,” Illingworth said. “I want to thank everybody for making this process a little easier. We truly appreciate everything everyone has done for us.”

Hawks turn away Plainsmen in 1A regional semifinal

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Ready to roll into the Iowa High School Class 2A Girls’ State Bowling tournament Tuesday are Newton High’s Cardinals, from left, Alyssa White, Erica Bailey, Madison Humphrey, Melanie Stice, Mariah Gonzales and Courtney Tabor.

Cardinals head to state tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinal girls have their sights set on doing well in Tuesday’s Iowa High School Class 2A State Bowling Tournament.

They have marked up a 9-3 dual record in 2014-15, a fifth straight championship at the Knoxville Invitational, a Little Hawkeye Conference championship and a Class 2A District 1 substate championship.

The Cardinals claimed the substate championship a week ago, qualifying for the state tournament.

“Going into state Tuesday, Seth and I just want the girls to have

fun no matter how they are bowling,” said Brett Jacobs, Newton head bowling coach. Seth Banwell is the assistant coach.

“We sat down during Friday morning’s practice and each of the bowlers wrote down some personal goals as well as some team goals,” Jacobs said. “I feel that the team is capable of shooting a match score of 2,700 if everyone is dialed in and covering all their spares.”

Tuesday, Newton’s girls return to Plaza Lanes in Des Moines to compete on the same bowling lanes they won the substate crown.

“We make a really good team. We got a good handle on the lanes that day and we know what to expect on those lanes for state,” said Melanie Stice, a senior who finished third at the substate and qualified for the state as an individual as an at-large spot.

“I got a lucky penny from a friend Tuesday and I say it was the cause of my success at substate,” Stice said.

Stice, seniors Erica Bailey and Courtney Tabor combined with juniors Madison Humphrey and Mariah Gonzales and freshman Alyssa White to win the substate title. The seniors

and juniors came very close to qualifying for state a year ago, losing by 19 pins to Knoxville.

“We knew going into substate we had a very good chance of winning it. A lot of us had a really strong day which allowed us to realize our goal of state early in the tournament,” Gonzales said.

“I didn’t feel I deserved to be going because I wasn’t bowling my best that day, but for the team to finally make it after losing to Knoxville last year by such a close margin, it feels really good.”

SULLY — Man-toman defense is their stock and trade, but Lynnville-Sully’s girls switched to a zone defense in their Class 1A Region 5 semifinal game Friday at home against Belle Plaine.

The zone defense served the 10th-ranked Hawks well.

“I don’t like to play the zone a whole lot, but we do have it. We needed to pull it out because we were in a little

foul trouble. It kind of slowed them (Belle Plaine) down,” said Jerry Hulsing, Hawk head coach, following his team’s 65-47 win.

“We rebounded the ball out of the zone and got out and starting running.”

Lynnville-Sully had defeated the Plainsmen twice in South Iowa Cedar League play during the regular season. The Hawks weren’t taking anything for granted.

Top-ranked Mediapolis eliminates Mustang girls one game shy of state

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News WA S H I N G T O N — Playing in their final high school season, Prairie CityMonroe seniors Rachel Freland a n d Courtn e y V a n H o u - VanHouweling weling did everything they could to advance the Mustang girls’ basketball team to

the Class 3A state tournament on Saturday.

But top-ranked and undefeated Mediapolis was just too good.

Freland finished with 27 points and seven steals and VanHouwleling added 15 points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals, but a slow start doomed the Mustangs in the Class 3A Region 6 final.

The Bullettes improved to 24-0 following the 83-66 win and will face Mount Vernon (16-8) in a state PCM | 3B

PCM’s Clark finishes with runner-up medal

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Prairie City-Monroe’s Tristan Clark had a goal at the beginning of the season.

The Mustang senior wanted to be a state champion in his final season on the mat.

Clark put himself into position to accomplish that feat with two more wins Friday, but ran into a road block in the Class 2A 126-pound championship match.

Clear Lake sophomore Ryan Leisure was just too good. The Lions’ sophomore breezed through the first three rounds by outscoring his opponents 29-8 and then allowed just an escape to Clark during a 6-1 win in the title match Saturday at the Iowa High School State

Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Clark finished his season 44-4 and was just the third wrestler in PCM’s program history to compete in a state championship wrestling match.

The other two were Grant Hjortsoj in 1990 and Wes Andrew in the early 1980s.

“At the beginning of the year, I wanted to win a state championship.

I was working for it,” Clark said. “But, at the very minimum, I wanted to be on the stand so getting second was definitely an accomplishment, but it was still short of what I wanted.”

The loss will always hurt, but one day Clark will be able to reflect on a senior year that CLARK | 3B

Newton’s Lee ousted short of tourney goal

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Newton junior Duncan Lee, right, gets away from Ottumwa’s Isaiah Cox for the escape during a consolation wrestleback on Friday. Lee lost to Cox 7-6 and went 1-2 in his three matches at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

DES MOINES — It wasn’t where he wanted to finish, but when Newton junior Duncan Lee reflects on the 2013-14 wrestling season, there isn’t anything to be ashamed of.

He went 0-2 on Friday and ended his season at 3512 in the 195-pound Class 3A weight class, but it’s a whole lot better than going winless at 160 pounds like he did last season.

And he was really close to finding a spot on the medal stand, too.

After getting pinned in 38 seconds by second-ranked Colin Kreiter, Lee needed to defeat Ottumwa’s Isaiah Cox to stay alive.

Unfortunately, Cox, who entered the tourney ranked No. 8 at 182, scored a takedown in the final period and held off Lee’s late rally for a 7-6 victory at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena.

“He was still getting used to this atmosphere. He lost a match and that was tough to come back from,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said. “It’s even harder when it’s your first

time here. You have so many family members and friends and you just don’t want to let them down.”

Lee trailed 2-1 after one period and then got taken down by Cox early in the second period to fall behind 4-2. The Cardinal junior managed to tie the score at 4-all before the third period began, but that momentum wasn’t enough to record the win.

“I saw the momentum shift after he tied it with the takedown,” Swedenhjelm said. “Duncan got him into LEE | 3B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Having a little fun before practice, Newton High’s Cardinal girls go granny-style on the lanes at Newton’s Cardinal Lanes. From left, Courtney Tabor, Melanie Stice, Madison Humphrey, growling Mariah Gonzales, Alyssa White and Erica Bailey are preparing for the Iowa High School Class 2A Girls’ State Bowling Tournament Tuesday in Des Moines.

Bowling Continued from Page 1B For five of the bowlers, Tuesday will be their first state bowling tournament. Bailey bowled for Newton in the 2012 tournament as a freshman finishing 15th.

“It’s a pretty great feeling to be going again after going my freshman year and not the next two years,” Bailey said.

Humphrey carries the top averages for the team going into the state tournament. She has a total of 4,497 pins, which averages as 187.4 per game

and 374.8 per series. Her high game of the season was 263 while her high series was a 451.

Bailey rolls in with a 178 game average and 355.9 series average. Bailey has knocked down 4,271 pins this season. Her high game was 217 and her high series was 413.

“I knew qualifying for state was definitely there for us this season. This was the year to do it and I knew we could do it,” Humphrey said.

Stice, who had a team-high 403 series in the substate, has a 292.4 series average for the season. Her top game

was a 214 and her top series was a 358. Gonzales has a 143.9 game average and a 287.8 series average. Gonzales had a high game of 187 and a high series of 323.

“It feels great to be going to state,” Tabor said.

Tabor has a game average of 133.6 and a series average of 267.1. The senior had a 287 series as her top this season and rolled a 163 high game.

White had a 306 high series for the season. Her series average is 259.3 while her game average is 129.6. White had a 167 as her game high for the season.

“It’s exciting,” White said about qualifying for state. White took sixth at the substate tournament.

White and Tabor both said their personal goals were to beat their scores from the substate tournament which were 333 and 259, respectively. Tabor said she also planned to make sure the team was pepped up and ready to go.

The secret to the Cardinal team success this season?

“We get along outside of bowling as well,” Stice said.

“We know each other on a personal basis,”

Tabor said. “We cheer each other on and support each other in our bowling meets.”

Newton’s highest match score this season was 2,589. The Cardinals average for a match is 2,395. In competition, teams bowl two 10-pin individual games per bowler then the bowlers combine for Baker game scores.

Several of the bowlers admitted to some superstitions or habits they have on the lanes.

Bailey said she dries her hand off before each roll of the ball. She said she really doesn’t have

any secret to her success — “it’s about practices, bowling in leagues during the summer and fall and high school bowling.”

“I listen to music before each meet to get pumped up. It has to be rock and roll,” Tabor said.

Humphrey has a towel.

“No, I never wash it. I hold it in my hand and pat it up and down before every ball. I also wipe my ball off with it,” Humphrey said.

Hawks

Continued from Page 1B “Tonight, we came out to play — ready to play them specifically,” senior Madison Rasmusson said. “Both teams wanted to win. It’s a regional game. But we pushed through it tonight and wanted to win more.”

With the victory at home Friday, the Hawk girls are one win way from a second-straight trip to the Iowa Class 1A State Girls’ Basketball Tournament, March 2-7, at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Standing in their way are the 11th-ranked Springville Orioles, who defeated Marquette Catholic, 51-35, on Friday.

Lynnville-Sully (22-1) and Springville (20-3) play Monday at 7 p.m. at Iowa City West High School. It is an unfamiliar venue for the Hawks.

“It’s a basketball court with the same dimensions as our home court,” Hulsing said.

“We’re just going to take our show on the road and see what happens. We’ll be ready to go Monday.”

The Hawks had to handle Belle Plaine to get to the regional championship game.

The game between the two SICL teams was quick and intense from the tip-off.

Lynnville-Sully senior Lysandra James got the first basket inside then Belle Plaine fired in five consecutive points starting with a 3-pointer by Emilee Bean.

A putback basket by sophomore Brenna Lanser for the Hawks made it 5-4 then James used another offensive rebound to score. James was fouled and completed the three-point play from the free-throw line.

The Hawks got out to a 14-8 lead on a 3-pointer by Lanser with 1:45 left in the first quarter. Belle Plaine scored the final five points of the period to get within one

Both teams were dealing with foul troubles by the end of the first quarter.

The second period opened with three consecutive 3-pointers. Belle Plaine’s Morgan Straight hit the first one and was quickly answered with a trey from Rasmusson. Makenzie O’Brien put the Plainsmen up 21-19 on a 3-pointer.

Lynnville-Sully went inside to James for two to tie the game. Kasiah Ehresman drove the length of the court and right to the basket for a goahead bucket for the Hawks with 6:18 on the clock.

Lynnville-Sully was up by one, 24-23, when Rasmusson drained a 3-pointer. James sank both ends of a one-andone. Belle Plaine countered with three straight points.

The Hawks established control for good with a 7-0 run in the final three minutes of the first half followed by an 8-0 surge to open the third quarter. Lynnville-Sully extended its halftime lead of 36-26 to 44-26 by the 3:34 mark of the third period.

“We scored on a couple of quick trips and we got stops. We focused on that a lot this week — score and stop, score and stop,” Hulsing said. “We wanted to lock it down, get a lead, finish it off and go build on it.”

The Hawks outscored the Plainsmen 32-18 in the second and third quarters. They were up 48-33 heading into the final eight minutes.

Marissa Vos scored and was fouled with 5:32 remaining in the game. She missed the free throw, but 15 seconds later, James had a three-point

play to push the Hawks to a 57-40 lead.

James, who had a gamehigh 20 points, scored on a fastbreak for Lynnville-Sully at the 4:58 mark. There was no comeback for Belle Plaine.

“Yes, it was good that they pushed us tonight. I think it will help us keep going,” Rasmusson said. “We had been pushed a little bit this season.

We matched them well tonight and they shot it really well, but we came right back at them.”

Rasmusson hit three 3-pointers in the game finished with 15 points. She also had five of the team’s 10 steals and six of the Hawks’ 13 assists.

Vos had a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Lanser had a doubledouble also with 10 points and 16 rebounds.

Lynnville-Sully shot 40

percent, 25-of-63, from the field while Belle Plaine went 16-of-49 for 33 percent. The Hawks cashed in 11-of-15 free throw attempts and the Plainsmen were 10-of-15 at the line.

Straight led the Plainsmen with 14 points, five steals and seven assists. Marisa Pope had 11 points and 10 rebounds.

(AP) — Joey Logano, the driver who has spent seven years trying to live up to impossible expectations, raced to his first career Daytona 500 victory Sunday as he continued to reward Roger Penske for catapulting him into one of NASCAR’s top stars.

Nicknamed “Sliced Bread” when he broke into the Sprint Cup Series at 18 because so many predicted him to be the next big thing, Logano found himself searching for a new job after four underwhelming seasons.

He was snatched up by Penske for the 2013 season after being dropped by Joe Gibbs Racing, a move that jumpstarted his career.

His victory in “The Great American Race” on Sunday gave “The Captain” his second Daytona 500 title. Penske also has a record 15 Indianapolis 500 wins.

“Daytona 500, oh my God! Are you kidding me?” Logano yelled in victory lane.

The 24-year-old from Connecticut was quiet for most of the race, which was dominated by four-time champion Jeff Gordon.

Making the final Daytona 500 start of his career, Gordon won the pole and led the field to green in the first race of his last Sprint Cup season.

Gordon kept his Chevrolet out front for 77 of the first 100 laps, and led a race-high 87 laps.

But when the slicing and dicing for the win began, Gordon was mired in traffic and Logano suddenly found himself in contention.

He had reason to fret, though, after Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski went to the garage with an engine failure.

Reigning Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick finished second and was followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr., the defending race winner.

Denny Hamlin finished fourth in a Toyota and was followed by six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, Casey Mears, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr., Kasey Kahne and Greg Biffle.

Gordon was involved in the final accident and finished 33rd.

Iowa State, Iowa men score big road wins AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Less than a week ago, Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg lamented the way his team handled the challenges presented by close games on the road.

He’s thrilled now.

Georges Niang and Matt Thomas scored 17 points each to help No. 14 Iowa State beat Texas 85-77 on Saturday.

Iowa State (20-6, 10-4 Big 12) won its second straight Big 12 road game, something the Cyclones had not accomplished since the 2005-06 sea-

son. They had lost six straight at Texas since their only victory over the Longhorns in Austin in 2005.

The Cyclones, 7-0 at home in the conference, improved to 3-4 on the road. After suffering tough losses at Kansas and Oklahoma, they beat Oklahoma State and Texas in a span of four days.

Kendal Yancy led Texas (17-10, 6-8) with a careerbest 29 points, 18 more than his average. He scored 21 in the second half. Isaiah Taylor scored 17 of his 23 in the sec-

ond half, matching his career high for points in a game.

Iowa 74, Nebraska 46 LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Iowa made fast work of Nebraska by playing some of its best basketball of the season in the last five minutes of the first half.

The Hawkeyes scored on nine straight possessions before half to build a 26-point lead, and they never let the Cornhuskers get closer than 21 the rest of the way in rout Sunday.

Aaron White had 18 points

Clark

Continued from Page 1B included a school-record 44 wins and a runner-up medal.

“There are the absolute highest of highs and lowest of lows in this sport,” PCM coach Cory Waddell said. “We were out shopping (Saturday morning) and Coach ( Jim) Oldham and I both asked Tristan why we do this sport. And all three of us said because we love it.

He is upset right now, but I couldn’t be prouder of him.”

Like Clark did in his opening-round match against Perry’s Gisaveri Niyibizi, he got down in his quarterfinal match against Decorah’s Devin Stortz.

Stortz scored a takedown with 16 seconds to go in the first period, but Clark tied the match with a reversal with 9 seconds left.

Clark took the lead on a takedown in the second period and he finished off the 6-3 win with another reversal in the third.

“I don’t know what my opponents are going to do right away, but they usually do the same thing throughout,” said Clark about falling behind.

“They get me sometimes the first time, but I usually learn from it and learn how to stop it.

“The reversal at the end of the first period definitely changed the match.”

Lee Continued from Page 1B a stall call and he may have gotten another one if he would have been a little more aggressive. But he’ll learn that. We’ll work hard this offseason and get back here.”

Cox placed seventh overall.

He was 49-5 this season.

Kreiter was a semifinalist last season. He came into

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Tristan Clark, front, gets away from Decorah’s Devin Stortz for an escape point during a 6-3 win in the quarterfinals of the 126-pound weight class at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships on Friday. Clark took home a runner-up medal.

Waddell thought the reversal in the third period was bigger.

“The biggest reversal was in the third period when he was trying to cut us and didn’t and we got two instead of one,” he said. “He’s a goer. His motor doesn’t stop. We got a medal.

Now we just see how high we can get.”

Clark didn’t fall behind second-ranked Brice Everson of Camanche early, but he did have to fight through some ad-

versity.

He held a 2-1 lead after one period but a locked hands call evened the match at 2-all.

Clark fell behind 4-2 following an Everson reversal but an escape allowed the Mustang senior to go into the final period down just one.

That lead was quickly erased with an early reversal but a second stalling call allowed Everson to tie the match at 5-all.

The Camanche junior took a lead following an escape, but

Thursday ranked No. 2 and finished the season with a 42-2 record and third-place finish in the weight class.

The North Scott senior lost 5-2 to eventual state champion and top-ranked Sam Cook of Fort Dodge in the semifinals.

“That’s a kid that went to the semifinals last year,” Swedenhjelm said. “He is comfortable and he knows what to do.

Duncan is in unfamiliar territory.

“There is a lot of things go-

ing on in his head. The sky’s the limit for that kid next year though.”

One thing Lee can do this offseason to improve his standing at the state meet is to become smoother on the mat, according to Swedenhjelm.

“He does a lot of good things well,” Swedenhjelm noted. “With more experience, he’ll learn how to set things up better. He will learn a lot about what shot is there and what didn’t work.

PCM Continued from Page 1B quarterfinal game March 3 at 11:45 a.m. at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

The loss snapped PCM’s threegame winning streak. Kayla Jennings finished with nine points, five rebounds and three assists in the loss, while Katie VandeWall chipped in six points and nine boards.

PCM coach Bret Grier said after the Mustangs’ regional semifinal win over Chariton that in order for his team to win against the Bullettes, they would have to make shots.

However, PCM (16-8) was just 23of-70 from the floor, 6-of-21 from 3-point range and 14-of-24 from the free throw line.

On the flip side, Mediapolis made more than half of its shots from the field, finishing 25-of-46, including 8-of-18 from long range. The Bullettes also had an 11-point advantage from the line.

PCM led 6-2 during the early stages of the first quarter, but an 8-0 run gave Mediapolis the lead for good. The Bullettes led by 11 after one quarter and outscored the Mustangs by six in the second half.

The Mustangs got within 45-39 with a quick start to the second half, but a couple of 3-pointers by Darby Massner and Rogers, then a three-

point play by Heidi Hillyard, turned the lead into 57-41.

PCM never got closer than nine the rest of the way, and Mediapolis hit 27-of-36 free throws on the night in a physical game. The Mustangs, 8-of-9 in the first half from the line were just 6-of-15 in the final 16 minutes.

The game featured 43 fouls.

PCM’s Rachel Gulling and Jayci Vos both fouled out for PCM, while Mediapolis’ Hillyard and Ashley Hedges were whistled for five fouls. Three other players in the game had four fouls.

Four players scored in double-figures for Mediapolis. Rogers, a freshman who leads the state in assists, had a team-high 21 points and five assists and Andrea Larson collected 14 points and 19 rebounds.

Hillyard also had a double-double with 11 points and 12 boards as the Bullettes out-rebounded the Mustangs 47-26.

Massner also had 19 points for the winners.

The Mustangs lose two 1,000-point scorers in Freland and VanHouweling to graduation.

Gulling also had seven points and three rebounds in her final game in a Mustang uniform.

and 11 rebounds for the Hawks (17-10, 8-6 Big Ten), who got the performance they needed on the road against the conference’s 10th-place team.

Iowa’s NCAA tournament hopes had taken a hit the last week or so, with a home loss to Minnesota and an overtime loss at Northwestern followed by a home win over Rutgers.

Peter Jok scored 14 points and Jarrod Uthoff had 11 points and four blocked shots for the Hawks, who swept the season series against Nebraska (13-14, 5-10) Clark rallied for the 9-6 win following a takedown and two back points.

“He got called for locked hands and two stallings and still won,” Waddell said. “But it doesn’t faze him. Two years ago, that would have fazed him. Not this year though.”

Against Leisure, Clark just couldn’t get anything going.

He trailed 2-0 after one, 4-0 after two and wound up dropping a 6-1 decision.

“That kid is good. He is a sophomore, a two-time finalist and now a state champion,” Waddell. “We were second best today. But that is nothing to sneeze at to be second-best in that group of 126-pounders. There are some hammers in there.”

Everson wound up third and and third-ranked Shea Swafford of Mediapolis was fourth.

Roland-Story’s Parker Witthuhn, who is ranked seventh, ended up fifth.

“I have never medaled at state even in little kids’ wrestling so this feels great,” said Clark, who lost to Swafford in the district final and beat Witthuhn three times this season.

“I will definitely know that I accomplished something great, but it hurts though that I didn’t get to where I wanted to go.”

“He is big and strong, and I love that, but he also is kind of choppy. Gaining more experience should help him become more smooth. I am pretty excited for him.”

Cook, a junior, beat Southeast Polk sophomore Deion Mikesell, 6-2, in the championship match on Saturday night.

John Gaines/The Burlington Hawk Eye Prairie City-Monroe senior Rachel Freland (11) scored a game-high 27 points in the Mustang girls’ basketball team’s 83-66 loss to top-ranked Mediapolis in the Class 3A Region 6 championship game in Washington on Saturday. The Bullettes got 11 points and 12 rebounds from Heidi Hillyard, left.

Astrograph Monday, Feb. 23, 2015

As the authoritative father figure of the zodiac, Saturn doesn’t like to be challenged. That his challenger is the Pisces sun makes it evermore frustrating, as the argument will be based on ethereal and subjective matters. The day will bring a case of spiritual belief versus logic, or an imaginative challenge to tradition.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 23). You go into the year knowing what you’re doing, and that will be more important than who you’re doing it with -- that is until March, when love improves everything.

You’ll step up the self-care and enjoy a healthier lifestyle in April. A relationship that needs healing will turn around in May. Sagittarius and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 17, 4, 33 and 28.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Let’s say your emotions are a kind of bank account. Someone close to you is making a withdrawal that’s much larger

than is fair, agreed upon or allowed. There needs to be a deposit to offset this.

invented just as soon as you stop singing the old one.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A predisposition is not the same thing as a predetermination. Today, an optimistic point of view will help you land in a better place than many of your friends and relatives.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You have an excellent sense of what’s worthwhile. A moment of happiness will be brief and nonetheless so completely full that it’s certainly worth all of the efforts and anticipation you endured to get to it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in the mood to take the initiative. Unsolicited encouragement is a much better gift than unsolicited advice, which pretty much no one will like today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Generally speaking, you’ve been too hard on yourself and it’s time to let up. Today there is nothing good that comes of punishment. Sometimes the most active thing you can do is just relax.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll hear the song you’ve been singing and decide the sound is so “last year” that you no longer relate. New songs will be

ing about tomorrow and the next day, do today’s work and trust that the rest will come together.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Better to be open-minded and let yourself wonder than to land prematurely on a belief that prevents you from exploring your curiosities and all of the different options.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You know that the world existed before you and will go on after you, but you still feel that, somehow, it’s yours to win right now. You’re right about that. This is your time. Seize the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). There are traits your loved one possesses that annoy you but are inconsequential in the long run. The graceful way is to distinguish those traits from the true problems and overlook them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The pang of someone pulling on your heart strings will remind you where you left your heart and/or whom you gave it to. How fragile your heart can seem in someone else’s hands.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to know what another person knows, but you don’t want to see things as this person does. Through your skillful questioning and careful listening, you will learn much.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everything works out better when you keep it simple. Instead of worry-
