Aurora Park incident sends one to hospital

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Newton Police Department announces acting police chiefs as current chief, Jeff Hoebelheinrich prepares for retirement. Lieutenants Rob Burdess and Wes Breckenridge will share police chief duties starting Tuesday.

Breckenridge, Burdess taking over as interim chief

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With the pending retirement of Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich, the department has prepared for Hoebelheinrich’s leave prior to his actual retirement date the first of September.

Starting Tuesday, Hoebelheinrich will be taking leave days, putting Lieutenants Rob Burdess and Wes Breckenridge in charge as acting chief of police. The two will split the time with Burdess taking the lead April 7 through June 18 and Breckenridge taking over June 19 through Sept. 1.

“From the outside looking in there will be very little difference,” Burdess said.

The department will continue with business as usual, he said, and if a citizen needs any assistance they should contact the police department as they

would have before. Also, groups that are affiliated with the department have been notified and given updated contact information on the acting chief.

Breckenridge said the city approached all of the lieutenants to see who would be interested in being acting chief. Burdess and Breckenridge expressed interest and submitted qualifications and a letter of interest. It was then decided the time would be split between the two officers while the hiring process for a new chief takes place.

Iowa pastors play influential role in 2016 presidential race The Associated Press DES MOINES — Cary Gordon isn’t a political operative, a top dollar donor or an elected official. But that hasn’t stopped Jeb Bush’s team from already reaching out as the 2016 Republican presidential campaign revs up in Iowa.

Gordon is a wellknown evangelical Christian pastor with a church in Sioux City that can draw 600 people on Sundays and a voice that echoes far beyond the pulpit. Gordon backed former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in the 2012 GOP field, sending out text messages, tweets and a video announcement to deliver his message.

In some states, big city ward leaders or union bosses are the goto guys to deliver votes.

When it comes to Iowa’s Republican caucuses, evangelical pastors are kingmakers, with sway over an important bloc of participants.

Long before the campaign heats up, leading ministers are showered with personal attention from likely candidates, and they can negotiate their policy positions on issues such as gay rights and abortion.

With the power comes perks.

“When they (citizens) are talking to the active chief, the chief has the same full force and same responsibility as full chief, they are not getting anything less. They will be able to get the exact same response or outcome as if they were talking to me,” Hoebelheinrich said.

A lot of agencies around the state choose to bring in a retired officer or someone on a leave of absence to help during the transition time, Hoebelheinrich said.

Because all of the lieutenants are very qualified, the department does not have to go out and get anyone.

“We already have the staffing that are able to make the decisions. We are fortunate we don’t have to find someone from outside, we have the people here that can make the decision so there will be no hiring in the interval,” Hoebelheinrich said.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A 16-year-old boy was injured Thursday after falling from the hood of a moving car in apparent horseplay on streets near Newton’s Aurora Park. The injuries were not life-threatening.

Multiple crews respond to grass fire Sunday

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Multiple fire departments in Western Jasper and eastern Polk Counties responded to a large brush and grass fire around 6:30 p.m. Sunday between the intersection of S. 28th Ave. W. and W. 124th St. S. and the South Skunk River, three miles west of Colfax. Colfax, Mingo and Mitchellville Fire Departments fought the fire for nearly three hours and were still extinguishing hot spots after sunset. Colfax Assistant Fire Chief Brandon Bruxvoort said Monday that roughly 40 to 50 acres of grass and timber burned, and an ignition source has yet to be pinpointed. The fire is still under investigation.

A 16-year-old boy was injured Thursday afternoon in an incident that could have had much worse consequences.

According to a release from Lt. Ron Cook of the Newton Police Department, an incident that began as “horseplay” led to the 16-year-old’s injuries.

The teen was transported to Skiff Medical Center by the Newton Fire Department with non-life threatening injuries, and his condition was unknown at press time.

Newton Police were initially called to the park area at around 3:30 p.m. after a report of a youth hit by a car.

“Upon arrival, officers discovered a 16-year-old male sitting in the street with obvious abrasion injuries,” Cook said in his report.

“Witnesses told officers that the male had also struck his head on the pavement.”

Police soon found out that the 16-year-old wasn’t hit by a car, but actually jumped onto the hood of a car driven by one of his peers, and eventually fell onto the pavement, causing his injuries.

There were a large number of people near the park, as Newton High School was out for the day when the injury happened. The NHS boys tennis team was getting practice under way on the park’s courts.

“Officers discovered that several juveniles were engaging in horseplay on Second Avenue East,” Cook said. “At some point, the injured male jumped on to the hood of his friend’s car.

The driver then sped away with the male on the hood.”

Financial markets: stock indexes open lower following weak jobs report NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes are opening lower following a weak jobs report late last week.

The Dow Jones industrial average was down 76 points, or 0.4 percent, at 17,687 as of 9:35 a.m.

Eastern time Monday.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell five points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,061. The Nasdaq composite fell 13 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,876.

The price of crude oil rose $1.04 to $50.18 a barrel in New York.

Bond prices didn’t move much. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note held steady at 1.84 percent.

Many overseas markets are closed for holidays.

U.S. stock trading was closed Friday for the Good Friday holiday.

Local financial advisor honored for performance Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Monica Rae, owner of Just Teasin’ Hair Studio, is offering a free hair cut for life to one lucky customer that comes in between now and Sept. 1.

Free cuts for life drawing offered at Just Teasin’

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News How would you like to get free hair cuts for life? That is what Monica Rae, owner of Just Teasin’ Hair Studio 205 First Ave. W. #3, is offering to those who come into her salon from now until Sept 1.

“With every paid service that people come in and do between now and Sept. 1 you can entered into a drawing to with hair cuts every six weeks, which includes a shampoo and a style for life, no cost at all as long as I’m still living here,” Rae said.

Rae previously ran a similar promotion for a month long duration, but decided to open it up for a season to get a larger sample to draw from. The longer time gives people a greater chance to win, since you can enter multiple times.

“If they want to come in every day, that’s fine. If they want to come in once a week, that’s great. You can have more than one entry,” Rae said.

One person will be select-

ed during a Sept. 2 drawing to receive free hair cuts for life.

Rae said that even if the person moves away from the area, if they come back she will honor the free cuts.

Just Teasin’ is also celebrating its third anniversary in business Monday. Rae is really happy with how business has gone the past three years, with the large competition of salons in Newton.

“I think that’s pretty good for not being open very long and just having a little salon,” Rae said. During its first two years, Just Teasin’ won reader’s choice for Favorite Beauty Salon in Jasper County and in 2014 was voted the third favorite business in the county.

Rae has been in the business for five years, but did not originally think she would be doing hair for a career.

“I actually went to nursing school first and worked as a CNA for six years. I loved what I did, working with people but I wanted to do hair. I would always style up the tenants hair

so I just decided to do it and it’s been great. I love what I do, it’s not really work when you love what you do everyday,” Rae said.

She decided to attend La James International College in Des Moines, graduating in 2010. Two year later she opened Just Teasin’ offering all hair services including cutting, perming, coloring and straightening along with facial waxing.

Prom and wedding services are also available.

“When I have wedding parties I book out the entire day so they can hang out here, do their make up and get dress here if they need to,” Rae said.

For now, Rae is really excited about the progress of her business and looks forward to what the future will bring.

“Being a little salon like I am, I feel that we are doing pretty well. We stay busy all of the time, it’s been good,” Rae said.

Asian stocks higher after US gains as jobs data awaited BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets were mostly higher in holiday-abbreviated trading Friday following gains on Wall Street as investors awaited American jobs data.

Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 gained 0.3 percent to 19,377 points and Seoul’s Kospi was up 0.5 percent at 2,038.11. The Shanghai Composite was down 0.2 percent at 3,819.96 and Thailand’s benchmark rose 0.2 percent to 1,535.68.

Analysts expect U.S. employment data due later Friday to show employers added 248,000 jobs last month, according to FactSet. That would be the 13th straight month of gains in excess of 200,000 — the longest such stretch in 20 years, according to High-Frequency Economics. Employers added 295,000 jobs in February. On Thursday, the Commerce Department said applications for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week despite signs of weak economic growth.

“The arithmetic points to a continued rapid downtrend in unemployment,” said Jim O’Sullivan of High Frequency Economics in a report. “We expect more acceleration in wage measures in the months and quarters ahead.”

Major U.S. stock indexes closed slightly higher on Thursday, rebounding from a two-day slide as investors looked ahead to the start of the next round of corporate earnings beginning next week.

“Just being in Iowa and being involved opens certain doors,” said Sherman, who went on a trip to Israel with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.

Both were funded by evangelical leader David Lane, who is working to grow the number of conservative Christian voters in early voting states.

Going into 2016, the power of the Iowa pastors is considered indisputable. Four years ago, pastors united behind Santorum, who eked out a victory in the caucuses and saw his stature rise in the crowded field. Back in 2008, evangelical support was part of Huckabee’s winning coalition.

Larry & Diana Ambroson New Test For Colon Cancer A new stool DNA test (Cologuard) has been approved by the FDA. In a recent study, researchers compared the new stool DNA test with the current FIT (fecal immunochemical test) stool test. Both tests look for hidden bleeding in the stool, but the DNA test also looks for genetic changes linked to colon cancer. The new test detected 92% of the earliest and most curable cases compared to FIT, which detected 74%; however, it has a higher false positive rate, 13% versus FIT’s 5%.

Abnormal results on the DNA tests would then be confirmed by a colonoscopy.

Cologuard’s cost is also higher than FIT.

A goodhearted woman and a good timin’ man

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | April 6, 2015

For a time my husband and I were considering “Good Hearted Woman” for our wedding song. While we are both fans of Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, it was the lyrics that really rang true for us — “she’s a good-hearted woman in love with a good timin’ man.”

Yes, yes I am. In the end we selected a favorite Ray Charles song, but there’s generally not a day that goes by that I don’t consider those other lyrics.

Last week my husband was to begin painting our basement as part of a remodeling project. Rather than dive into the task at hand (he even had a friend who offered to help) he bought a new gaming system.

The entire painting fiasco threw a number of plans out the window. Since he decided to dedicate a full day to gaming, and then had a business trip, a full week went by with

no progress.

As I write this, I’m sitting on our patio in between loads of laundry. I’m supposed to be in Kansas City relaxing with my husband on a trip we planned several months ago — before we realized it was Easter weekend. The gaming, the business trip and zero progress on painting meant that trip was canceled, just a day before we were supposed to leave.

Meanwhile, I’ve been in quite the tailspin trying to plan to be out of town, and nailing down several aspects to make sure our kids still had a nice Easter. As it turned out, I failed in that task (gasp) but had other major things crossed off the list — getting plans for the kids, a reservation to have the dog boarded, etc.

If you’re not making a Target run on Good Friday for Easter baskets, you’re doing it wrong. At least that’s what

I told myself, and was quite reassured of that fact as I squeezed through tight isles filled with mothers in search of the right candy.

In the end it was a relief that we weren’t leaving town.

We’ve always celebrated Easter in Newton, attending Mass in the morning, partaking in the annual egg hunt at Sacred Heart Church and then a traditional Easter meal. (I’d be remiss if I didn’t insert that even the egg hunt was different this year — bags of candy and other goods were distributed instead.)

When your family has a tradition, it’s hard to change those plans. We’d also always spent the Fourth of July in Newton until a family reunion took us out of town last year. While we had an absolute blast on our trip, it was still hard for me to do something different.

My mother tells me I need to be more versatile with plans — she mentioned this on Saturday after she told me she and my father had decided to go home instead of stay with us through Easter weekend. Another change in plans!

Yet, there were some good things that came from all of these turns of events. I slept in two days in a row, which is not only amazing but also completely unheard of. Then I lounged and relaxed a bit, ran errands, did some shopping and some housework.

The best part was spending Easter with my husband and kids, just like we do every year. Now, I just need to brace myself for the next adventure with my good timin’ man.

By Chaz Allen service.

House File Iowa Senator 414 won unanimous approval in the Iowa House on March 17. The bill

requires that private individuals or businesses offering to help veterans get their benefits for a fee must give all prospective clients a written statement disclosing that veterans may apply for these same services at no charge through a local service organization or county offices. Before entering into an agreement or contract, the veteran must sign the disclosure statement.

It will include a statement that

A thumping Cruz-a-palooza

By Jim Hightower Senator Ted Cruz’s recent announcement of his presidential candidacy was a real Cruz-apalooza.

It was part Ronald Reagan, part Elmer Gantry, part John Lennon, and part Jerry Falwell — yet it was totally Ted Cruz, full of blather and bloat.

Cruz thumped the word “liberty” again and again during his speech, like a televangelist thumping the Bible. “We stand together for liberty,” the candidate declared one final time at the conclusion of the show, which was staged at Falwell’s Liberty University.

That was more than a little cynical.

While the mass media reported that Cruz drew a packed house of 10,000 Liberty students, few news stories mentioned a pertinent fact about the crowd: The budding scholars were not at liberty to avoid his speech. Their school made attendance mandatory.

Another word reprised throughout the event was “imagine.” Cruz uttered it 38 times in a sort of dreamy imitation of the John Lennon song. “Imagine health care reform that keeps government out of the way,” warbled the senator.

Imagine, indeed.

Cruz’s family once received free, platinum-level coverage from Goldman Sachs, where his wife was a top executive. But when she took leave from the Wall Street giant to join Cruz’s anti-government

crusade, they were suddenly left with no health coverage.

No problem for a hypocrite like Cruz. The day after his big speech, he said he plans to sign up for Obamacare, the very program he demonized and once shut down the government in an attempt to kill.

But it was in the speech’s finale that Cruz reached his crescendo of cynicism: “It is a time for truth,” he bellowed.

Truth?

This is a guy who fabricates facts to foment fear among the fringiest right-wingers. The good news is that the more he campaigns, the more obvious it will become that he can’t even imagine the truth.

They’re doing it again!

When the last housing bubble burst, politicians blamed “greedy banks.”

T h e y s a i d mortg a g e companies lent money reckl e s s l y, making loans to By John Stossel people with dubious credit, for down payments as low as 3 percent.

“It will work out,” said the optimistic bankers.

Regulators didn’t disagree. Everyone said, “Home prices will keep going up.” And home prices did — until they didn’t.

The bubble popped in 2007. Lots of people were hurt, and politicians took more of your tax money to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac along with reckless banks. They also gave the Federal Housing Administration a $2 billion bailout.

Then the politicians said, “We’ll fix this so it doesn’t happen again.”

Congress passed DoddFrank and a thousand new regulations. The complex rules slowed lending, all right. It’s one reason this post-recession recovery has been abnormally slow.

But — April Fools’! — the new rules didn’t solve the problem of reckless lending, and it’s happening again.

Because our government subsidizes home purchases, recklessness is invited. Somehow, Americans buy cars, clothing, computers, etc. without government guarantees, but politicians think housing is different.

Both parties support the subsidies.

The left wants government to help struggling families, and the right thinks home ownership sends a wholesome cultural message. Both parties have cozy connections to home-builders and lenders.

At the time of the housing crash, most high-risk loans were guaranteed by the government. Those banks

wouldn’t have been as reckless if they had their own money on the line.

But they knew they could grant a mortgage to most anyone and the FHA would back it or government-sponsored companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would buy it. That fueled the frenzy of lending.

After the bubble popped, I assumed the political class would learn a lesson, but they haven’t.

Today, even more American mortgages are guaranteed by government.

More than 90 percent of new loans are backed by taxpayers. After the crash, Fannie and Freddie did raise their minimum down payment — to a measly 5 percent — but a few months ago, they lowered it again to 3 percent!

Are they crazy? A sensible congressman, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), tried to get an answer from the administration’s new mortgage regulator, asking in a hearing, “All things being equal, is a 3 percent down riskier to the taxpayer than a 10 percent down loan?”

A pretty basic question — but one that director Mel Watt still dodged, responding, “Mr. Chairman, that is generally true. But when you pair the down payment with compensating factors ... look at other considerations ... you can ensure that a 3 percent loan is just as safe.”

What? That’s nonsense. This is what happens when pandering politicians get to dispense your money. Watt is among the worst. When he was a congressman, he pushed for mortgage subsidies for welfare recipients who made down payments as low as $1,000.

Edward Pinto, who studies housing risk for the American Enterprise Institute, says policies like this put us on the way to another bubble: “The government is once again ... saying, let’s loosen credit, give loans to people that potentially can’t afford them, and everything will be fine because house prices will go up.”

Bob for 35 years.

Hope was diagnosed with Squamons Cell Carcinoma in July 2013. She told her family she would fight with everything possible. Not giving in, Hope fought until the morning of Thursday, April 2, 2015, when she couldn’t hold on any longer. She was surrounded by her family and sent off with all their love.

Wife’s close friendship leaves husband feeling odd man out DEAR ABBY: My wife, “Connie,” and I have been together for 30 years and have a wonderful marriage. She’s a schoolteacher, and I travel on business often. I think the time away from each other is good; it gives us a chance to enjoy some “me” time.

Connie is a genuinely nice person and makes friends easily, which I admire. However, over the last five years she has become very close with a divorced woman who teaches at her school. They text each other seemingly nonstop, and when I travel, they always get together for a movie or dinner.

I like Connie’s friend, and I used to be included — or at least invited — to anything they did. Now, if I suggest we all go out, Connie says her friend has other plans or she’s sick.

I’m not really concerned that there’s any kind of physical relationship between them, but I feel their friendship has become like an “emotional affair.”

When I brought this up with my wife, she said, “You don’t want me to have any friends?”

What bothers me is that I used to be Connie’s best friend, but I feel I have been replaced. She tries to reassure me I’m still No. 1, then goes off into her bathroom to text with her friend.

I think it’s obvious she gets something from this relationship that she doesn’t get from me. Do you think friendships between women can evolve into emotional affairs? — SHUT OUT IN TEXAS DEAR SHUT OUT: Women communicate with other women on a different level than they do with men.

You and your wife and her woman friend may have felt like the Three Musketeers years ago when the three of you would all get together — but it’s possible that after a while her friend began to feel like a third wheel.

Who can say why she doesn’t want to socialize with you. Perhaps you don’t have enough in common, or perhaps she has sensed that you are jealous of her friendship with your wife. But I wouldn’t call close friendships among

women “emotional affairs” because I don’t think it’s true.

Since this bothers you enough to write to me, and Connie seems to be communicating in secret, please discuss this in depth with her.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Luke,” and I go to the gym together four to five times a week. Yesterday, there was a man on a treadmill who was sweating profusely. I kid you not, it was coating the treadmill. Luke tends to speak loudly, and he occasionally forgets to turn on his filter. When he saw what was happening, he exclaimed loudly, “That’s disgusting.” I nudged him and told him he was being rude, but unfortunately, we think the man heard him.

Luke is actually a kind and sensitive person, so he instantly felt awful.

This man is a frequent gym-goer and is often there when we are. Luke wants to apologize, but he’s worried that if the man didn’t hear him, he will have to explain what he said. What are your thoughts? — FILTERLESS IN CALIFORNIA DEAR FILTERLESS: Luke was out of line, but at this point, he should let it go or he may further embarrass the man. Sweating during aerobic exercise is normal and healthy, and not something that a person can control.

If, when the man was finished with the machine, he wiped it down, he was acting appropriately. (Unfortunately, not all gym members do.)

1 Jury convicts Georgia man in slaying of former roommate

BOONE — A Georgia man was convicted Friday of second-degree murder in the killing of his former roommate in 2009.

Jurors in John Green’s trial returned a guilty verdict Friday, one day after they began deliberating. Prosecutors had sought a first-degree murder conviction in the death of Mark Koster, 58, of Sac City, but jurors found him guilty of the lesser offense. First-degree murder denotes the intent to kill, while second-degree murder indicates the intent to do harm but not the intent to kill.

Forever Forward: Iowa man honors mom with mended bike wanted to rebuild his mother’s bike in her memory.

The bike was made by Moots, a high-end manufacturer based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

tangled titanium frame, he explained to the company how it had been so badly damaged. A Moots representative emailed Bell the next day asking him to send in the frame. So Bell took the bike apart and saved all the pieces that were salvageable.

About eight weeks later Bell got a box from the company.

When he popped the top open Bell said his whole world went blank. “I couldn’t believe it was actually here.”

There was a poster in the box that was signed by the Moots staff with encouraging words and well wishes.

“There wasn’t a bill in the box,” he said. “I haven’t gotten an invoice. If someone else paid for it, I don’t know.

“I sent them a thank-you card and a photo of the bike. I will never have the words to thank them enough,” Bell said. “I just wish I could get on a plane to give them all a hug.”

Riders edge Cards in shoot out for tourney title PCM lose two in Newton soccer tournament

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals and Des Moines Roosevelt’s Roughriders played 100 minutes of soccer and still were tied 2-2 Saturday afternoon. It came down to a shoot out to determine the winner of the 2015 Newton Boys Soccer GGL Tournament sponsored by Garden Gate Landscaping.

It was 4-3 on penalty kicks when senior Grant Davidson stepped away from the goal and went in front of it to attempt Newton’s fourth kick. Davidson had preformed well in goal all day for the Cardinals, making 16 saves in two full games.

“Grant said he wanted to take one of the penalty kicks. He was confident in himself,” said Sackda Viravong, Newton head coach.

Davidson struck the ball cleanly, but Roosevelt goalkeeper Max Maharry was able to block the kick. Davidson stepped back in goal for the final Rider attempt and Matthew Holmes’ kick got past Davidson for the winning goal.

“It’s tough to lose a game like that.

Even the best in the world miss penalty kicks,” Viravong said following the 3-2 loss.

Newton reached the title game with a 3-2 win over Benton. Roosevelt rolled to a 12-0 win against Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs. Benton defeated PCM, 14-1, in the consolation game.

Newton opened up the scoring in the championship game when a direct kick by Josh Ventling found the upper left corner of the goal from 15 yards out. The Cardinals went up 1-0 in the eighth minute of the game.

Davidson made three big saves to keep Newton in front. Roosevelt’s Brian James got the ball in the goal through a lot of traffic in the goal box to make it 1-1 with 15 minutes left in the first half.

The Riders struck again five minutes later. Oscar Orellana put a long kick over the heads of the Newton defenders and goalkeeper. Roosevelt held a 2-1 halftime lead and it stayed that way through the first 30 minutes of the second half.

Newton lined up for a direct kick. Senior Mike McCormick faked the direct kick and passed it off to senior Jackson Forck up top. Forck did exactly what Orellana did. His long kick went right over the heads of the Rider defenders and goalkeeper for the equalizing goal.

Newton Trap Team members aim for strong season

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Seventeen return to compete in 2015 for the Newton Trap Team, a club sport for Newton high school boys and girls in the spring.

The trap team has 19 on its roster this season. That is down a bit from last year, but team head coach Paul Klein is encouraged.

“We graduated seven team members from last year and a couple more did not return this season, but we added five new members,” Klein said.

“We have several members who have

showed good improvement during last season” Team members began practicing at Izaak Walton League on March 7.

They will have a month of practices under their belts when they begin their season Thursday. The first meet is a skeet shooting meet at Pella on Thursday.

Friday, the team shoots sporting clays at Oskaloosa then go to Knoxville for its first trap shooting competition on Saturday. Newton has 15 competitions schedule this season. It will host a trap shoot on May 2 at the Jasper County Gun Club.

There are seven upperclassmen returning for the Cardinals in seniors Jacob Arrowood, Devon McAnally and Chase Urias and juniors Derek Damman, Bryce Romick, Matt Bleakney and Connor McAdoo. Sophomore boys returning are Winchell Brian Bleakney, Evan Cook, Colton Kingery, Nathan Tremel, Clay Trotter and Logan Zaabell.

Sophomore Allison Winchell is

back and is one of only two girls on the team this season. Lindsay Campbell joins Winchell.

The other new members on the team are Dawson Cobler, Ross Hull, Trevor Annee and Nathan Lanferman.

Newton’s high school trap team is not a sanctioned sport by the two state activities associations in Iowa. The team is funded by donations, fundraising activities and by the athletes themselves.

Klein pointed out that each student pays for their own ammunition. The club provides clay pigeons to shoot during practices. The team practices at the Izaak Walton League facilities in Newton.

Newton’s team was established in 2007 with three student athletes competing. Since then, the Newton Trap Club has allowed NHS students with interest in competitive trap shooting to compete in the Iowa High School Clay target Association (IHSCTA) and the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP).

Klein is in his fourth year as head coach of the team. Al Kenninger, who was the program’s first head coach, is assistant coach. Joel Provin and Greg Oldsen are volunteers to help the team.

“I’m hoping our returners continue to build on their skills and I look forward to seeing what kind of scores they can post this season,” Klein said.

Duke, Wisconsin play NCAA title game Monday INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Duke is the four-time national champion accustomed to playing in the spotlight this time of year. Wisconsin is the plucky upstart that won its only championship in 1941.

The two will meet with everything at stake Monday night.

The Blue Devils cruised into the title game with an 8161 blowout of Michigan State in the semifinals, a showcase for coach Mike Krzyzewski’s touted bunch of freshmen.

The Badgers followed with a back-and-forth, 71-64 victory over Kentucky, not only avenging a loss to the Wildcats in last year’s Final Four but also ruining their unbeaten season.

“We’re just very happy with the way we played,” said Duke freshman Justise Winslow, who had 19 points and nine rebounds. “Kentucky is a great team, but so is Wisconsin.”

Duke and Wisconsin have already met once this season, the Blue Devils getting 22 points from freshman guard Tyus Jones in an 80-70 victory

in Madison in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

This will be the first time the teams have met in the NCAA Tournament, though.

Here are some early things to keep in mind as the Badgers and Blue Devils prepare to meet: Quick Turnaround: With just 48 hours between the semifinals and championship, how quickly the two teams can turn their focus to Monday night could prove to be critical.

Not only did the Blue Devils obliterate the Spartans, they also had the earlier game Saturday night, which means they probably watched Wisconsin upset the Wildcats from their hotel rooms.

The Badgers didn’t finish off their victory until after 11 p.m. local time.

Star Showdown, Round 2: Kaminsky outplayed Okafor when the teams met in December. Frank the Tank finished with 17 points in the losing effort, while Okafor was held to just 13 points.

Kaminsky also beat out Okafor in voting for the AP player of the year award. The

senior got 58 first-place votes from the media panel, while Okafor was runner-up with five votes.

Coaching Matchup: Krzyzewski and Ryan are considered two of the best coaches in college basketball, and both of them have the national championship rings to prove it.

Coach K has won all four of his with the Blue Devils, of course. But people tend to forget that Ryan won four national titles of his own at Division III Wisconsin-Platteville.

It’s only the second national championship game for Wisconsin in school history.

The first? A full six years before 67-year-old coach Bo Ryan was even born.

Who will win the ring that finishes off a hand?

Hoosier Hospitality: The Blue Devils have a bit of history on their side: When they reached the title game in Indianapolis in 1991 and 2010, they wound up winning the championship.

“Even if we didn’t win tonight, the city would still be

great and the venue would be great,” Krzyzewski said. “Being in a national championship game, it’s crazy how lucky you are.

“This team has really earned it,” he said. “A couple times we’ve been in it, and we were lucky. A couple times we’ve lost — one time in particular we lost a really tough game.

This team, though, has deserved to be in it, so it makes it feel even better. They’ve been so good.”

Youth vs. Experience: The Badgers relied on their veterans when things got tight against the freshman-laden Wildcats. Now, they face another team that relies heavily on youth.

Will the experience of Kaminsky, fellow seniors Traevon Jackson and Josh Gasser, junior star Sam Dekker and sophomore standouts Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig make a difference? Or will the Blue Devils’ freshmen — Okafor, Jones and Winslow — be able to cope with the pressure?

All the answers will be provided on Monday night.

Irish, Huskies advance to women’s title game TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Notre Dame keeps finding ways to win.

One more victory and the Irish will be national champions again.

A young team that lost three starters from last year’s squad is back in the NCAA title game after fighting off a gallant comeback by Final Four newcomer South Carolina 66-65 on Sunday night.

All-American Jewell Loyd scored 22 points as the Irish (36-2) advanced to the championship game for the fourth time in five years, but it took a basket from an unlikely source to survive a scoring drought that lasted more than seven minutes down the stretch.

Madison Cable’s putback for her only points of the night put the Irish in front for good.

Loyd said no one boxed out Cable on her game-winning basket, adding: “She’s done it all year. She’s the MVP.” Now, Notre Dame will face two-time defending champion

Trap Team Continued from Page 1B Klein said teams compete with a five-man squad, which can be made up of boys and girls. Some competitions give awards out for top male and top female shooters but it is a coed sport, he said.

Klein said although the trap shooting club is not a sanctioned “high school” sport, the club has great support from Newton High School. Students competing in the sport of clay target shooting still have to meet academic requirements to be eligible.

First-year shooters are classified as junior varsity and after that they are varsity. Shooters are required to have competed in at least four trap league events to qualify to go to the state trap competition. Trap team members are required to have completed a hunter safety course.

Klein said out of the 24 athletes competing for Newton las tear, 14 competed at the state trap meet in Cedar Falls and five competed at the state sporting clays meet at Riverside.

“Our goal is to promote firearm safety while helping the members understand the basics of the shotgun shooting sports in order to improve their shooting abilities,” Klein said. “Like all sports, we have team members that are really good and members that are improving. I consider them all successful if they are being safe, getting enjoyment from being on the team and improving, whether it is a little or a lot.”

Connecticut (37-1) Tuesday night in a rematch of last year’s title game.

The Irish ran out to double-digit leads against South Carolina, but the Gamecocks wouldn’t go away.

Notre Dame is looking to win it all for the first time since McGraw led them to their only national title in 2001.

South Carolina (343) overcame a 12-point, first-half deficit and did it again in the closing minutes.

The feisty Gamecocks used a 13-0 run to take their only lead on Aleighsa Welch’s offensive stickback with 1:12 remaining.

Brianna Turner scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds before fouling out for Notre Dame. Taya Reimer had 16 points for Notre Dame.

Freshman A’ja Wilson came off the bench to lead South Carolina with 20 points. She scored 10 straight for the Gamecocks at one point in the second half to keep her resilient team within striking distance.

Notre Dame led 64-52 with 7:51 to go.

The Irish missed eight straight shots before Cable wiped out South Carolina’s short-lived lead. South Carolina

All-American Tiffany Mitchell’s off-balance 3-point attempt bounced high off the backboard as time ran out on the best season in school history.

Mitchell fell to the court in dejection and was helped up by teammates.

The Gamecocks hurt themselves, going 7-for-16 from the foul line, and missing six of seven in the closing minutes while they were trying to catch up.

Notre Dame lost to Connecticut in a matchup of unbeaten teams in last year’s title game. The Irish came up short against Texas A&M in 2011 and Baylor in 2012.

Connecticut 81, Maryland 58 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies now stand one win away from a third straight championship and matching another vaunted milestone.

Breanna Stewart scored 25 points and Morgan Tuck added 24 to lead UConn to an 81-58 win over Maryland on Sunday night in the Final Four.

The Huskies are 9-0 in title games and a victory over the Irish would tie Auriemma with vaunted UCLA men’s coach John Wooden for the most

all-time with 10.

Making the Final Four seems like a rite of spring lately for the Huskies (37-1). They have appeared in the last eight national semifinals.

UConn had cruised through this year’s tournament, but Maryland coach Brenda Frese said her team wouldn’t be intimidated by the Huskies.

The Terrapins took it right at them from the start, hanging with UConn for the first 10 minutes.

Maryland only trailed 22-19 before UConn scored seven straight points capped

by Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis’ 3-pointer that made it a 10-point game.

Maryland (34-3) didn’t back down and pulled within 39-33 on Lexie Brown’s 3-pointer with 1:52 left in the half.

Then Tuck took over.

She scored the final five points of the half to give the Huskies a double-digit advantage going into the break.

Tuck started the second half with another 3 as UConn scored the first nine points to break the game open. Her layup capped the burst and gave UConn a 53-33 advantage, putting the game out reach.

Newton team takes second at state

Submitted photo Newton’s 10th-grade AAU volleyball team finished second in the Iowa State AAU tournament March 21 at Marshalltown. The team went 34-8 on the season, which included three first place finishes and three second-place finishes in AAU qualifying tournaments for both 10th grade and 11-12-grade level teams. Team members were: front row, left to right, Bailey Davis, Taylor Shipley and Megan Pressgrove; back row, left to right, Courtney Jacobsen, Ryanne Rausch, Morgan Allen and Kaytlin Ahn.

Wainwright, Cardinals defeat Cubs on opening night CHICAGO (AP) — Same ol’ Cubbies. Same old Cardinals, too.

At least for one game.

Adam Wainwright threw six sharp innings to outpitch Jon Lester, and St. Louis handed new Chicago manager Joe Maddon a 3-0 loss Sunday night in the major league opener.

Jason Heyward had three hits in his St. Louis debut and Matt Holliday drove in two runs for the NL Central champions.

Throw in Matt Carpenter’s two hits at newlook Wrigley Field, and the top third of the Cardinals’ lineup went 7 for 14 with three RBIs. Playing their most anticipated opener in years, the Cubs went 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position.

Lester was pulled with one out in the fifth inning on a chilly evening.

The ace left-hander, who got a $155 million, six-year contract from Chicago during free agency, allowed three runs and eight hits in his fifth straight opening day start.

The addition of Lester and Maddon ramped up the expectations for Chicago after five straight losing seasons.

But it was more of the same in their first game.

The biggest difference for the home team was a giant videoboard in left field, part of a major renovation for the iconic neighborhood ballpark.

The closed bleachers were covered by pictures of Hall of Fame slugger Ernie Banks, who played for Chicago for 19 seasons and died in January at age 83.

The Cubs honored Banks with a pregame moment of silence, and his sons Jerry and Joey Banks each threw out a ceremonial first pitch.

The club also extended its condolences to the Cardinals for Oscar Taveras, an outfield prospect who died in a car crash in his native Dominican Republic last October.

The alignment of the sun and Uranus in Aries will start the business of the week off with an invigorating blast. Also, the shorthand communication between people who know one another well will extend now to complete strangers, who will communicate in brief and effective exchanges as Mercury and Jupiter form a fire-sign trine.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When you worry too much about offending people, it puts a strain on natural interaction.

The same goes for when you worry too much about impressing them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Those who try to appeal to everyone usually wind up appealing to no one. To have the greatest appeal, target a

specific group -- an audience you understand well because you’re the same.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You have a low tolerance for rules now. A loose plan will best suit your current creative mindset. Let your imagination lead you, and you’ll like where you wind up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It’s possible to grow closer to a person you know rather com-

pletely. Just when you think there’s nothing left to discover, an interesting question or novel situation will show you another side.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t mind making most of the effort in a relationship, especially for a limited amount of time. The pendulum will soon swing, and it will be the other person’s turn to put in more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s easy for you to open up, but you’re careful not to do so indiscriminately. When you provide intrigue for others, you’re giving them a gift.

You’ll say less and coyly build the mystery.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ve come to the end of a cycle, or rather you’ll decide it’s the end and make your exit. Maybe this ending won’t be as neat as you’d like, but in time, this piece of the past will go into a fitting emotional compartment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your wishes may not be a top priority for the others in your group. Telling the right story -the one that highlights what’s in it for them -- will help them reprioritize in your favor.

Soccer: Newton boys take second in own tournament, PCM finishes fourth Continued from Page 1B “That was a tough play and a nice goal. It was a clever play with good communication between Mike and Jackson,” Viravong said.

Davidson stopped a big shot on goal by Roosevelt with eight minutes left. The teams remained deadlocked at 2-all at the end of 40 minutes of regulation play.

“We talked about being patient with the ball. Overtime is sudden death, so it takes just one shot to end the game,” Viravong said. “We told the players to make sure to clear the ball out on defense and put pressure on Roosevelt. We had a couple of opportunities in the overtimes to score. Duncan Lee had a couple of shots.”

After two 10-minute extra periods, the teams went to the shoot out. McCormick, Ventling and Reese Rosenquist were successful on their penalty kicks for Newton.

Roosevelt had 15 shots on goal to nine for Newton. The Riders also had nine corner kicks while the Cardinals had two corner kicks.

“Roosevelt is a quality team, and it was obvious they had been playing together for awhile. They had good movement with the ball,” Viravong said. “Our guys never gave up and stuck with our game plan.

We played our style of soccer, trying to control the ball and

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe’s Tony Merrill (4) dribbles the ball away from Des Moines Roosevelt’s Apel Shukurani (18) and Caleb Schley (4) in Saturday’s tournament opener at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium. Roosevelt beat PCM, 12-0. Merrill would score a goal for the Mustangs in a 14-1 loss to Benton on Saturday.

make good decisions. It was good to see how we were able to overcome our inexperience in playing as a team. We will get better as the season progresses.”

In the tournament’s opening game, Newton and Benton traded penalty kicks within a two-minute span.

Ventling found the net at the 22:55 mark of the first half then Evan Moeller scored for Benton. It was 1-1 at halftime.

Ventling took a pass from Zach Combs and scored in the ninth minute of the sec-

ond half. Two minutes later, the Cardinals got help from the Bobcats to go up 3-1.

McCormick made a long throw-in, which went into the goal box and a Benton player knocked the ball into his own goal.

Moeller delivered on another penalty kick with 17:04 left in the game to make it 3-2.

“We had a lot more opportunities to score today and this was a better performance offensively for us than Thursday’s game,” Ventling said.

“We just have to take our time

and possess the ball and play simple as we move down the field. If we do that, we will create more chances on goal and win games.”

Newton put 12 shots on goal against Benton. The Bobcats and seven shots on goal. Benton was awarded six corner kicks and Newton had three.

“We made a couple of silly misstates in the goal box to give up the two PKs,” Davidson said of the Benton contest. “We held our own on defense like we did Thursday.

Offensively, we played a lot better.”

Davidson was credited with four saves in the Benton game.

“We did a better job of pushing the ball up front.

We’re struggling with transitioning to offense when we win the ball. We give it back to the other team too much and they can set up counter attacks,” Viravong said.

“Grant played a solid game.”

Viravong said the Cardinals will focus on taking care of the ball better and having longer possessions to create space for plays to develop on offense. He said it was about managing the game better, especially with a lead.

Newton (2-1) plays at Pella Christian in Little Hawkeye Conference action Tuesday.

The game is at 7 p.m.

Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs had a rough day on the field at H.A. Lynn Stadium Saturday. They found themselves down 3-0 to Roosevelt in the first 10 minutes of their tournament opener and it awe 5-0 at halftime.

PCM lost to Roosevelt, 12-0.

The Mustangs also lost the services of Leevi Telfer, son of head coach Darrin Telfer.

Leevi Telfer suffered a cut, which required five stitches, during a collision. Coach Telfer took the player to the hospital for treatment.

PCM assistant coach Zach Fagg coached the consolation game against Benton.

Benton quickly out to a 2-0 lead, scoring twice in the first minute of the game. Benton was up 4-0 when PCM’s Tony Merrill scored with 10 minutes left in the first half.

The Bobcats stretched their 7-1 halftime lead to a 14-1 victory.

“We need to work harder in practices on passing and improve our conditioning,” Fagg said following the games.

Mustang captain Nic Liro said he was proud of the way his teammates played.

“We were playing against teams from larger schools and we never game up whether we’re tired or they are killing us out there,” Liro said. “We always have fun no matter what’s going on or what the score is.”

Zac Van Waardhulzen played in goal for the Mustangs against Roosevelt and in the first half of the Benton game. Lane Raske and Graham Davis spent time as goalkeeper in the second half against Benton. Andreas Vargus was credited with an assist on the Merrill goal.

PCM (0-3) host Chariton Thursday. The junior varsity game is at 5:30 p.m. followed by the varsity at 7 p.m.
