Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Six people were inducted Saturday into the Newton High School Hall of Fame at the NHS Alumni Association’s All-Classes Alumni Brunch. One of the six was Lewis “Buzz” Levick, center, who took a moment to pose with his wife of 67 years, Miriam, and former player Gary Williams, who played on the 1963 and 1964 state-champion Cardinal boys basketball teams coached by Levick.

Six honored at Newton High School alumni brunch

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Lewis “Buzz” Levick, one of six members of the NHS Hall of Fame’s induction class of 2015, recalled several well-remembered moments at Saturday’s Alumni Brunch. Some of those moments involved things coach H.A. “Pop” Lynn did at pep assemblies.

“One time, he came into an assembly on a riding mower, talking about how we were going to ‘mow down’ the team we were about to play,” Levick said.

Levick’s words came after the NHS Alumni Association’s All-Classes Brunch and Hall of Fame Ceremony. The Hall of Fame, which is for athletics, activities, academics and many other types of NHS contributors, inducted Levick, 88, as the oldest of the six 2015 inductees to add

to the 17 members who were inducted in the hall’s initial year of 2014.

Five of this year’s class were present at Saturday’s brunch, and they all expressed tons of gratitude to those who nominated them and the committee that voted to induct each one.

“I wasn’t here all that long, and I’ve been gone 50 years,” said Levick, whose Cardinal boys basketball teams won state titles in 1963 and 1964 before later embarking on a separate hall-offame coaching career at Wartburg College. “I’m impressed anyone remembers me. I thought they’d forgotten all about me.”

After the brunch, Levick, 88, and his wife of 67 years, Miriam, made their way over to the older gymnasium, where a logo on the court commemorates Levick and the two state champion-

ship teams. It was the first time Levick, now a Waverly resident, was able to see the logo in person.

One of the brunch’s most heartwarming moments involved former Cardinal football coach John Jenkins. With many family members in attendance, Jenkins was accompanied to the podium by his wife, Jo. She said that because Jenkins suffers from dementia, she would speak for him, and she thanked many people for helping the award process move forward and to make the brunch happen.

Jenkins coached the NHS football team for 17 seasons, and his teams won 77 percent of their games with him as head coach.

Bruner given life Newton Municipal Airport - Earl Johnson Field approved for name change sentence in on fatal shooting of Johnson hand to receive Newton native honor, round

By Jeff Lehr Joliet Globe Reporter

Circuit Judge Gayle Crane Monday denied a defense motion for a new trial and sentenced Jeffrey Bruner to life in prison without parole in the killBruner ing of Missouri Southern State University assistant football coach Derek Moore.

Bruner, 41, shot and killed Moore, 37, the night of Nov. 1, 2013, as the coach emerged from the Northstar Stadium

14 theater complex in Joplin in the company of the defendant’s estranged wife.

Moore, who graduated from Newton High School in 1995, was in his first year at Missouri Southern as an offensive line coach. He was a standout on the offensive line for the Cardinals, earning Second Team All-State honors as a senior.

In Brief Newton student receives Iowa 4-H Foundation scholarship

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News NRCS District Conservationist Curt Donahue makes a presentation last week in Monroe about the importance of cover crops for farmers who live in or near the Van Zante Creek Watershed.

Meeting tries to ‘cover’ an important ag issue

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News MONROE — One of the fastest ways to shut off a farmer’s attention, according to Iowa State University field agronomist Mark Johnson, is to say something to the effect of “Here’s what y’all need to start doing.”

It makes sense, considering efforts are also made to get feedback from farmers, and to share information about what works, and what doesn’t. Farmers who are in the field every day are the experts, but there is one important issue where farmers are hearing a regular, steady piece of advice.

The June 11 informational meeting and discussion, held at the Monroe city administration building, was focused on the importance of cover crops for farmers who live in or near the Van Zante Creek Watershed. Johnson, along with USDA-NRCS District Conservationist Curt Donahue, made presentations, and also heard short testimonies from two regional farmers about the benefits of cover crops.

“The benefits far outweigh the investments,” Johnson said. “Cover crops are really new in Iowa; we’ve really only been talking about them publicly for about three years or so. The big key is to not expect the investment to pay for itself in one year, or even two or three years.”

Johnson and Donahue encouraged farmers to look into a state funding program available to those who haven’t ever planted cover crops, or who haven’t done so for many years. The Water

Quality Initiative is an Iowa Department of Agriculture fund that subsidizes farmers on a cost-peracre basis if they decide to plant cover crops.

The program is a statewide fund pool that is first-come, firstserve beginning July 1. Johnson said the state ran through about $2 million in benefits in the first five days of last year’s program, so those who are interested should sign up soon. Donahue brought paperwork with him Thursday that allowed farmers to begin signing up for the program right away.

Cover crops are plants seeded in the late fall, after a harvest, to hold moisture in the ground through the winter, keeping valuable nutrients from escaping and preventing erosion from washing important soil components away.

Not only does the practice generally — by most accounts — seem to help regular yields, but it also helps with regulating what goes into the water supply headed downstream from a farm. When used in conjunction with no-till planting, according to both Johnson and Donahue, cover crops give farmers more control over what leaves their fields in terms of nutrients. Donahue said that just because a farmer isn’t watching a hillside erode into a waterway doesn’t mean erosion isn’t taking place.

“Some places don’t erode every year,” Donahue said. “And it isn’t just for steep land. Very flat areas could be losing nutrition, too.”

There were mentions of for-profit companies at the meeting, such as a presentation made

by Aerial Spray Applicator Dan Kubal. However, the conversation was confined to discussion of cover-crop benefits, and no specific prices were mentioned.

One of the most convincing presentations made was by Brooklyn-area farmer Joe Kriegel, who said he’s been using cover crops each winter for about eight years, pointed out that farmers could start stopping erosion in this way on their own, or there’s a chance the government could get more involved and make restrictive rules.

The Des Moines Water Works recently announced its intent to sue drainage districts in Calhoun, Sac and Buena Vista counties for failure to prevent large amounts of nitrogen from entering the Raccoon River.

Kriegel said he now makes more money annually from selling the rye grass he harvests each spring than he does from his summer non-GMO crops. However, he said the main point of cover crops is to reduce weeds and other issues by keeping the fields together in the winter, and all year long.

“We can do it ourselves, or we can wait, and the government will make us do it,” Kriegel said. “Recently, we got about four inches of rain in a short time, and without even talking to some of my neighbors, I can look outside and see their fields are probably losing what they’ve put out there. Where is all that stuff going?”

Iowa Soybean Association to host water quality open house July 1 in Ankeny ANKENY — Iowa soybean farmers invite central Iowans to take part in a water quality open house from 3 to 5 p.m. July 1 at the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) campus in Ankeny.

The informal, conversational and come-andgo event will provide a unique opportunity to view technologies and on-farm practices that improve environmental performance and to visit one-on-one with the farmers who use them.

Environmental and agricultural experts also will be on hand to answer questions about nutrient management, watershed planning and

water quality trends and monitoring.

An open house, he added, provides a convenient way for central Iowans to visit with farmers about water issues, see firsthand the tools and practices they’re using on the land and to highlight the cooperative approach that’s needed to continue making progress.

The event is open to the public and there’s no cost to attend. Please RSVP by June 26 to Mary Whitcomb at 515334-1027 or mwhitcomb@iasoybeans.com.

The Iowa Soybean Association office is located at 1255 SW Prairie Trail Parkway in Ankeny.

Northey comments on Iowa crops and weather report DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

The report is released weekly from April through October.

“The storms that rolled across the state last week limited the ability of farmers to get in fields to finish planting, spray weeds or make hay. Standing water has created some drowned-out

spots that will need to be replanted if they dry out soon,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.

IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ ia. The report summary follows here: Sunny and warm temperatures early in the week spurred growth and field work progress

in Iowa, however fieldwork slowed due to wet conditions during the latter part of the week ending June 14, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were only 3.2 days suitable for fieldwork. Activities for the week included planting, cutting and baling hay and spraying. Although some spraying was done early in the week, weeds remain a concern throughout the state as crop emergence continues

and farmers are unable to get into their fields to spray.

Topsoil moisture levels rated to 0 percent very short, 2 percent short, 71 percent adequate and 27 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 4 percent short, 75 percent adequate and 21 percent surplus. South central Iowa is the only area of the State reporting no topsoil rated very short or short on moisture.

This year’s Newton School Hall of Fame induction class includes six people: John Jenkins, Joanne Jackson, Chuck Jarnigan, Buzz Levick, Tom Starr and Dr. James Tiedje, Ph.D. The inductees were honored at Saturday’s Alumni Brunch at NHS as part of Reunion Weekend and Newton Fest.

Here are brief biographies of each of the six 2015 inductees.

John Jenkins Jenkins was the Cardinals’ head football coach for 17 seasons.

He led the team to two Class 4A state championship game appearances, seven conference titles and 16 consecutive class 4A playoff appearances.

He finished with a 143-41 record, giving his teams a winning percentage of .777.

Jenkins The coach received the National College Football Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.

He and his wife, Jo, reside in Newton.

Joanne Jackson Jackson is a 1955 Newton High graduate and an accomplished singer who has been inducted into both the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame and the Des Moines Jazz Hall of Fame. Jackson’s career has taken her to Las Vegas and all over the world.

Joanne Jackson, a 1955 NHS graduate, is a jazz singer whose career has taken her to Las Vegas and all over the world. She moved to the Los Angeles area a couple of years ago to be closer to her son, and was not able to attend the Reunion Weekend.

Several people who spoke Saturday also thanked Newton High School Activities Director Scott Garvis and Principal Bill Peters for all their hard work, both with the Hall of Fame

winning production of “Porgy and Bess.”

Now living in Northridge, a section of Los Angeles, Jackson plans to continue offering online singing lessons to students.

Chuck Jarnigan Jarnigan is probably best known to some fans as an outstanding boys basketball player.

The 1950 NHS graduate is one of only three people from Newton — along with Burton O’Connor and Larry Lust — to have been inducted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association Basketball Hall of Fame. His Jarnigan wife, Mary Bickell, died in 1990. Jarnigan lives in Newton.

Lewis “Buzz” Levick Levick coached the NHS boys basketball team to back-to-back state championships, going undefeated in 196263 and repeating as state champions in 1963-64.

The Newton Community School District recently added a decal on the NHS basketball floor to commemorate Levick and the two title seasons.

Levick Levick is also in Wartburg College’s Hall of Fame. At the time of his induction there, he was one of only 65 coaches in the nation to have won 500 games or more. He and his wife of 67 years, Miriam, live in Waverly.

and the school in general. Peters gave a general progress report on activities, academics and facilities at the school, and drew huge applause for calling the special-needs “Big Game” basketball event held each spring “the best night of the year.”

After a plaque had been presented to all the inductees, State Rep. and 1989 NHS graduate Dan Kelley then held a “roll call of classes. Morris and Eleanor Trout represented the earliest class at the alumni

brunch, having graduated in 1939.

Kelley then ran through a class from every five years, starting with 1940 ending with the Class of 2015. A large group of Class of 1965 graduates were on hand to celebrate their 50th reunion. Each was invited to recite its chosen motto.

The entire room then sang the school fight song to concluded the event.

Keeping Me on My Toes

Just the three of us

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | June 16, 2015

It is not very often that either my husband or I have to take care of the kids by ourselves for an extended period of time. If we are gone, we are usually gone together and even that isn’t very often.

One of the few times that I took on being the only parent was this past week while my husband went on a fishing trip. We all survived — but I might be a little worse for the wear.

My oldest daughter has taken on a bit of a personality change since turning 4. In the past, she has never really challenged us, usually abiding by the rules and going with the flow. She now seems determined to push her limits and see what all she can get away with. I know it is a pretty normal thing for kids to do; it just makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes.

Our first major event was the milk mess. My youngest has taken to using her milk cup more like a squirt gun, which results in very messy situations for me to clean.

The girls were supposed to be in bed (they currently share a room) and I heard a lot of giggling and moving around. I am not too strict when they first go to bed as long as they aren’t fighting.

When I decided to check in and get them back into bed, I found a puddle of milk under their play table with drips still coming from the basket located in the middle. I would like to say this is the first time they have done this, but it’s not. I’m not sure why they think it is so fun, but they really seem to enjoy pushing things through the basket net.

After getting them back in bed after receiving their punishment, I cleaned up the area and hoped we were good for the night. For the most part it was only visits out on the couch and needing more juice before they both conked out for the night.

The next night, just after we had eaten dinner, the girls got very quiet while they were playing.

That always seems to either be a

sign that they had fallen asleep or are up to no good. This time it was the latter. I walked into the bathroom to find they had grabbed their soap and were “cleaning” the entire bathroom. It was everywhere except in the bathtub.

I feel like I might have just stood and looked at it for a while, not sure where to go next, but I tossed them both in the tub and began cleaning up the piles of soap all over the toilet, sink and floor. Our bathroom is as clean as it has ever been. The girls were allowed bubbles while taking a bath and had to go straight to their room when they were finished, although they didn’t seem to care very much about the punishment.

I know sometimes I will win some and sometimes I will lose some.

Another project we are currently undertaking is potty training my youngest. We started about a month ago, and she is doing OK. She is not very into it and doesn’t seem to care as much as her sister did when we would get excited

about her going on the potty.

The project took a bit of a turning point after she got out of the bath that evening. She was wrapped up in her towel on our couch when I walked in and with a big smile on her face, she told me that she had just peed. Knowing that she knew better and had done it on purpose, she went straight to “time out.”

I know that she will have accidents and won’t always make it on time when she gets busy as we are training, but doing it on purpose was not going to fly. It seemed to do the trick because for the rest of the weekend, she did an awesome job telling me when she had to go and we only had a couple of accidents while out playing.

The weekend went pretty well, and it was great spending the time with the girls but we were all happy to see dad when he got home.

First Budget will ensure candidates address national deficit First Budget is a nonpartisan initiative to raise public awareness of the dangers of our nation’s unsustainable budget policies, and ensure fixing this problem is a priority for presidential candidates.

Bringing together a variety of volunteers, Congressman leaders, stuLeonard dents and every Boswell day Iowans is

imperative to making a change.

Recently they announced their “Iowa Cabinet,” which consists of business, civic and political leaders from across the state. While this cabinet is a robust, bipartisan list of some of Iowa’s leaders, there is not a single citizen in Iowa or throughout this country who should not care about the federal debt or join us in this initiative.

Rep. Dan Kelley, political leader David Oman, and educational leader Danette Kenne are devoting their time to

the issue, and are ensuring our next president, whoever that is, tells us how they will address dealing with the national deficit and the debt when he or she submits their “First Budget.”

Our nation’s escalating debt is a serious problem – it affects every single American citizen.

This debt will not only have effects on our future, but also the future of our children and grandchildren. We are fortunate to have concerned leaders from Iowa volunteering their time to this crucial initiative.

Letters to the Editor

Kudos to VA Director Marge Tynan Prairie City Thank you so much to Chris Chartier for the hard work, phone calls and visit to my home in Prairie City.

I heard it blowing out of the car radio just before we took the right turn into Ta r g e t .

My wife was driving. “ B e my woman, girl, and I’ll be your By Marc Dion man.

“Be my woman, girl, and I’ll be your man.”

The voice was rough, exultant, claiming.

And I knew it.

The song was “Hey Mama,” a rap song by David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha and Afrojack, but the “be my woman” holler at the beginning was older — what rap artists call a “sample.”

For a 58-year-old white man with a fondness for tweed, I have some odd tastes in music, but they all make sense to me. I like older country music because, as the cliché runs, “it tells a story.” I like Cajun music because I spoke French as a child.

I like rap because I’m a writer and rap is words.

For the rest of it, my music collection is loaded with everything from Woody Guthrie to Dean Martin.

And a CD called “Murderous Home.”

It’s a 1947 recording of black convicts singing work songs at Parchman Farm, the Mississippi State Penitentiary.

I suppose you could call it “oppression porn” when I sit in my air-conditioned house and listen to a recording of wood-chopping convicts, singing to keep the axes in rhythm, down on Parchman Farm.

The “be my woman” sample comes from a work song on the album called, “Rosie,” and you can hear the axes biting on the down stroke. The singers on “Rosie” are listed as C.B. and Axe Strokes, an anonymous name for one man and the other men behind

him, the guys playing the axe.

An axe is a snake, ready to bite, and the best way to charm it is to keep in rhythm. A nine-pound hammer is much the same, though the hammer crushes instead of biting.

“Listen to that,” I said to my wife as the Guetta/Minaj/Rexha/ Afrojack song crashed into life on the radio.

“Be my woman, girl, and I’ll be your man.”

I turned it up.

Rap is supposed to be anti-history and anti-civilization, sexedup, crack-smoking, pistol-flashing, baby mama, twerk music, an affront to a great culture built entirely by white people of white people and for white people.

But someone in that ho-pimping universe reached back for C.B. and the Axe Strokes, back for that roughtongued holler, back for that classic R&B voice that sang only to convicts with screaming muscles, untreated syphilis, sweatdrenched backs and a long time yet to serve.

“Be my woman, girl, and I’ll be your man.”

What I’ve always liked best about my album of convict music is that the men on it are anonymous but, all these decades later, I can hear them, hear their axe strokes, feel the Mississippi heat.

Then they were gone, dead in prison, of old age, shot, stabbed, starved, run down by the dogs until just the song was left and the sound of the axes, themselves long since rusted and rotted away.

And then the song came back, for seconds, in a rap.

To the boys on the axe gang: You made it.

You finally made it.

New driver without insurance is a road hazard to avoid DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old stepdaughter, “Audra,” got her driver’s license a few months ago and has started pressuring us to put her on our car insurance. When we told her we can’t afford it, and if she wants to be on the insurance she has to get a job and pay for it, she had a temper tantrum.

About a month ago, my husband wanted her to go to the store for him.

We live in a rural area and everything is some distance away. After she left, he asked me if I was mad that he let her take the car. I told him I thought he was asking for trouble sending her out with no car insurance. He said, “But she wants to drive so badly.” My husband now wants me to let her take me shopping and bring along our two small kids.

If Audra gets into an accident, we could be sued for everything we have!

No one is a great driver when they first start driving, but she is a beginner without insurance. I have considered calling the police and telling them she’s driving without insurance. What do I do? — NO INSURANCE IN NEW YORK DEAR NO INSURANCE: Stick to your guns. It appears Audra has some growing up to do before she starts driving. If at the age of 17 she’s still having tantrums when she doesn’t get her way, she’s not emotionally mature enough to be behind the wheel of a car. Your concerns about her getting into an accident are common sense.

Transporting small children in a car driven by an uninsured, inexperienced driver is not advisable.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 28-year-old gay man who recently graduated with a liberal arts degree. I have always struggled to support myself. I’m often discouraged because of professional and personal mistakes, which leads me to be pessimistic about my future.

I want to date. I know love isn’t go-

ing to be the save-all, but it would be nice to hang out with someone from time to time. My problem is, in the past men have been critical of my lack of success. They are often unimpressed with me. Successful men won’t date me. Yet I feel intellectually incompatible with the blue-collar guys I’ve been with.

I’d like to be able to have conversations about literature, film and maybe world events, but the men I’m drawn to are out of my league. Must I suck it up and take what I can get? Do you think that maybe if my life was in order, I’d have better luck with men? — DENVER PO’BOY DEAR DENVER PO’BOY: I do.

It appears that in addition to self-esteem problems, you are drawn to men who are intellectual snobs. Intelligent, successful men — and women — are attracted to people who feel good about themselves and have interesting things to say. Because these individuals are often “targets,” they are not particularly drawn to people who might regard them as meal tickets.

So by all means get your life in order.

When you dwell less on your mistakes (we all make them) and think positive, your chances of finding friends like yourself will be better.

The department is investigating whether an employee changed chlorine levels in wastewater samples to meet standards.

Owner of landmark Iowa soda fountain dies at 95 WILTON (AP) — For most of his life, George Nopoulos delighted customers at his family’s soda fountain, helping turn the small-town gathering spot into an Iowa landmark visited by celebrities and politicians.

Nopoulos died of natural causes Sunday evening at a retirement home in Wilton, Iowa, said his wife and business partner of 65 years, Thelma Nopoulos. He was 95.

With his white apron and black bow tie, Nopoulos was a fixture in Wilton, a town of 2,800 in eastern Iowa where he treated customers to his homemade ice cream at the Wilton Candy Kitchen since the 1940s. He was known for serving up banana splits, chocolate sodas and other treats with a smile, singing, whistling and joking behind the marble counter — seven days a week.

“He served happiness to millions of people from all over the world,” his wife said in an interview Monday.

With a history that dates to 1860, the business gained a reputation as one of the last remaining old-fashioned soda fountains in operation. Actors Gregory Peck and Brooke Shields and President Dwight Eisenhower were among those who visited the shop. The shop was also the site of first dates and coffee meetings, a place where the regulars were locals who started going there as children and would eventually bring in their own kids.

Bird flu likely spread on equipment, workers, rodents, wind The Associated Press DES MOINES — The bird flu that’s devastated some Midwestern farms likely spread by several means — on machinery and workers, by rodents and possibly even on the wind, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a new report released Monday.

The agency’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service scientists studied genetic properties of virus samples on more than 80 turkey and chicken farms. The scientists determined that wild

birds introduced the virus onto farm but that lapses in biosecurity on farms and environmental factors likely contributed to the spread of the disease.

More than 49 million birds died or were euthanized this spring in 15 states as the virus spread from the Pacific Northwest into Midwest farms, making it the worst outbreak the U.S. has experienced.

Hard hit were turkey farms in Minnesota, the nation’s leading turkey grower, and chicken farms in Iowa, the leading egg producer.

curity procedures while continuing to work on identifying and mitigating other possible disease pathways in poultry farms nationwide,” the report said.

The scientists also found that air samples collected outside of infected poultry houses contain virus particles, indicating the virus could be transmitted by air. Preliminary analysis of wind data “shows a relationship between sustained high winds and an increase in the number of infected farms approximately five days later,” the report said.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available for pre-order at the Newton Daily News. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926. Maytag once commented about Snyder that "90% of everything we make or improve upon is because of him." At the time of Snyder's death in 1927, Maytag lamented "I feel that I am losing a companion, my pal and dearest friend that I ever had."

Bruner Continued from Page 1A Circuit Court. The jury that found him guilty of those offenses at a trial in March had recommended that he receive five years on the lesser conviction.

Darcy Moore Kane, the victim’s mother, called Bruner “uncaring,” “narcissistic” and “a coward” during testimony at the hearing. She said his efforts to justify his actions at trial with profession of a religious belief in the

Moore

sanctity of marriage were particular l y galling.

“There are much w o r s e things in life than divorce.

Like mur-

der,” she said.

She said he “needs to make restitution” to Moore’s young son who is struggling with the loss of his father.

Bruner tried to apol-

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | June 16, 2015 ogize to the family and asked for their forgiveness.

“I care about your family, I really do,” Bruner said turning and facing the Moore family in the courtroom. “I do wish there was some way I could repair it, but there is not.”

A motion for a new trial filed by defense attorney Ross Rhoades claimed the judge erred in not allowing the inclusion of a self-defense option in jury instructions.

He told the judge that

testimony that Moore backed his client across the drive in front of the theater, that Bruner felt fearful of the physically larger man and that the defendant thought Moore had turned and adopted a fighting stance just before he pulled the gun out and shot him should have been enough to warrant a self-defense instruction.

Assistant Prosecutor Kimberly Fisher countered that the only evidence suggesting any potential for a self-defense

claim came from the defendant’s own “self-serving” testimony. She said the defendant brought a gun to the theater parking lot and fired it at an unarmed man whom all other witnesses reported was walking away from him at the time.

The motion also made a claim of juror misconduct based on the testimony of various friends and family of the defendant who testified that they saw a female juror making facial expressions, nodding in apparent

agreement with the prosecution and mouthing words toward the victim’s family during the course of the trial.

They acknowledged under cross-examination that they could not tell what she was saying and did not see the family respond to her in any manner. Fisher pointed out that no objections were raised at trial with respect to juror misconduct and that first mention of the claim to the court came in a filing three weeks after trial.

Pictured is Erik Jones in the No. 51 truck out front of the pack during the 2014 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Iowa Speedway. Jones went on to win the American Ethanol 200.

Race Continued from Page 1A the organization and Growth Energy at this year’s 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol 200,” Soules said. “I am the third generation of our family owned and operated farm, and I am honored to be a part of Syngenta’s story. There is strength in diversity when it comes to fuel, and we need to support technology that provides home grown solutions to global energy needs. I’m particularly glad to be part of a great event in my backyard at Iowa Speedway.”

Soules, who could

drive a tractor before he could drive a car, grew up on a farm in nearby Lamont, and attended Iowa State University, where he studied agronomy and agriculture. He brought his skills back to the family farm where he expanded the business and helped make it the multi-million dollar enterprise it is today.

“Ethanol is helping America reduce its dependence on foreign oil, lowering prices at the pump, improving the environment with lower emissions, and growing the economy with jobs that can’t be outsourced,” said Jack Bernens, head of Enogen for Syngenta. “We are proud to be working

with Iowa Speedway, Growth Energy and Chris Soules to help increase awareness for the benefits of American ethanol.”

As grand marshal, Soules will say the four most famous words in racing – “Drivers, start your engines!” live on FOX Sports 1 prior to the start of the race. The race will also be broadcasted live on FOX Sports 1 and MRN Radio at 7:30 p.m.

“Chris Soules is a perfect advocate for American Ethanol,” said Kelly Manning, vice president of development of Growth Energy. “As a farmer he knows how American Ethanol directly

benefits our country in lessening our dependence on foreign oil, supporting thousands of jobs, and reducing harmful emissions. The American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway is a perfect venue to share our message that e15 is clearly a safe, high performance reliable fuel that is good for American consumers who want a choice and savings at the pump.”

The NAPA Auto Parts Concert Series continues following the conclusion of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol 200 presented

growing and developing high standards for aviation in central Iowa, Nasalroad said.

As an aircraft dealer, charter pilot, corporate pilot, airport manager, flight instructor and pilot examiner in the new and growing industry, he set an extremely high standard for safety and quality.

“We fly over Des Moines to pick someone up, we may be talking in the air space for 10 minutes and in that time I always run across someone that worked for Johnson Aviation, was trained by Johnson Aviation or was it was an aircraft that was sold by Johnson Aviation,” Nasalroad said.

As an instructor, Johnson had a way of teaching a person without knowing them knowing they are being taught and had a reputation as a tough examiner who always gave a fair and thorough check ride, he said.

After he became an airport manager, he was always the one who was up early and out late to keep the runway open and clear of snow, often for him to use later on that day, Nasalroad said. He was instrumental in keeping the airport up-to-date with current technology and new safety standards as the field became more complex.

Johnson has been recognized in the Iowa Aviation Museum in Greenfield as a first generation Fixed Based Operator and at the Spaulding Center for Transportation, Iowa Transportation Museum as a “hero of industry and technology.”

Mayor Mike Hansen told a story about taking his first ride in a multi-engine airplane that happened to be piloted by Johnson.

“We kind of tooled around the Red Rock Reservoir and came back. While I’m in there I don’t know what is going on. The aircraft had just gone through maintenance and pretty soon one of the props quit running and my heart rate goes about 300 miles per hour. It was just some of the things he was going through to check to see if it was working, I learned afterward,” Hansen said. “Thanks for the thrill, Earl.”

LHC soccer honors go to seven Cardinal girls

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Playing in one of the toughest soccer conferences in Class 2A and possibly in the state of Iowa, Newton High’s Cardinals earned postseason honors from Little Hawkeye Conference coaches.

The Cardinals finished 2-4 in LHC play, losing to the other four ranked teams in the conference. Newton was 13-5 overall in 2015.

Newton had three players voted to the 2015 All-Little Hawkeye Conference first-team, two to the second team and two receiving honorable mention honors.

There were five ranked teams in the LHC, all Class 2A. Dallas Center-Grimes finished No. 2 in the final Class 2A poll with Pella at No. 8, Newton at No. 10 and Norwalk at No. 14. Grinnell, which had been ranked all season, fell out of the rankings at the end, but was No. 13 in the final week of regular-season play.

the second team for the second season in a row.

Junior midfielder Victoria Jordan, who earned firstteam honors as a sophomore, was voted to the 2015 second team.

Receiving honorable mention were senior defender Rylie Udelhoven and sophomore goalkeeper Ashlee Freese.

Rausch not only led the Cardinals in goals scored, she led all of Class 2A. Rausch tripled the number of goals scored from her freshman season for Newton.

Rausch finished 33 goals in 2015, which was fourth in the state overall. She had 11 goals and was second in scoring

IHSAA reduces football playoff field to 16 teams starting in 2016

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Citing safety concerns, the Iowa High School Athletic Association announced Monday high school postseason football will include 16 teams in each of the six classes starting in 2016.

The current system allows 32 teams — the top four teams in each district — in each class to play in the postseason. The schedules for this fall and the 2015 regular season and playoffs remain unchanged.

The decision to cut the playoff teams in half comes after the IHSAA reviewed the current system that allows fewer days of rest and recovery between each game in the postseason. In a nod toward player safety and risk-minimization, the state has been looking at several options.

The decision to trim the playoff field to 16 teams became the option the state feels is in the best interest of the student-athletes.

“Today’s actions put in place a scenario for the football postseason which allows for one week between games,” IHSAA Executive Director Alan Beste

said. “The driving force behind this deicision is player safety and keeping the best interest of our students at the forefront.”

Newton football coach Ed Ergenbright appreciates the IHSAA looking out for the student-athletes, but he thinks the issue on injuries and concussions is overblown and media driven.

“I have been at this for 28 years, and I can tell you that our sport is as safe as it’s ever been,” Ergenbright said. “The equipment is better, the rules are better and the kids are coached differently.

“We have had 600-700 kids sign up for youth football since we started the program, and we have only had one concussion during that time. The varsity soccer team had three this season

calls that had fans in Chicago and Tampa Bay on the edge of their seats for almost two weeks. It was only the second final to begin with five onegoal games, and no team enjoyed a two-goal advantage until an open Kane buried a perfect pass from Brad Richards at 14:46 of the third.

It was Kane’s first goal of the final, and it touched off a wild celebration by the frenzied crowd of 22,424, who broke out more chants of “We want the Cup! We want the Cup!” BLACKHAWKS | 6B

alone. But we are supposed to be believe that football is not safer than soccer.”

The decision to trim the playoff teams came as a suprise to Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter coach Rob Luther and Prairie City-Monroe coach Greg Bonnett.

Luther is a member of the Iowa Football Coaches Association (IFCA) Board of Directors. He sits in on several meetings throughout the year, and he thought the 16-team option died three or four months ago.

“I thought they were down to an eight-game regular season and leaving the playoffs alone or a ninegame season that begins a week earlier,” Luther said.

“This new format certainly puts more emphasis on early-season games. I am up in the air with it. I can argue

Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist, helping the Blackhawks clinch the Cup on home ice for the first time since 1938. Corey Crawford, who was pulled from Chicago’s first-round series against Nashville, had 25 saves in his fifth career playoff shutout.

It was an appropriate conclusion to a series full of near misses and close

HONORS | 6B

When I played high school football, one team in every district was guaranteed a playoff berth. One. So when I began covering the sport, several years later, and noticed that that guaranteed number had grown to four, I thought about what it would have been like to make the playoffs.

I went to Earl- By Troy Hyde ham High School. Newton Daily And my sophomore News year, the Cardinals Sports Writer went 6-3. We bettered that by one my junior year.

Neither season ended in a playoff berth. Both ended with us not getting invited to the party.

It’s just the way it was. There wasn’t an uproar. We knew what it took to get to postseason play.

One loss was devastating. One loss on a Friday night in September could and usually did cripple a season.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association’s decision to make a change to the playoff format will be closer to when I played than it will be to the way things have been the last eight years under the current format.

There are several opinions on how to improve the high school game. There aren’t a lot of fans that want to see 3-6, 4-5 or even 5-4 teams advance to the playoffs.

It makes the accomplishment less meaningful.

“Now, if you make the playoffs, you truly deserve to be there,” Prairie City-Monroe football coach and activities director Greg Bonnett said. “It will clear out the field a bunch.”

But the new system will likely eliminate several 6-3 teams from the postseason. That would have involved two of the four area teams who made the playoffs this past year. Newton and Colfax-Mingo both went 6-3, Prairie City-Monroe finished 4-5 and all three made the playoffs.

both sides.”

Bonnett was surprised the state went the direction it did, but said enough people were upset by the quick turnaround.

“I’m happy about it. It goes back to the way it used to be,” Bonnett said. “I don’t like the quick turnaround.

There will be a lot of heartache if you don’t get in, but if you make the playoffs in the new format, you truly deserve to be there.”

Ergenbright feels like the 32-team format works for Class 3A and below. He said the issue of having 2-7, 3-6 and 4-5 teams make the playoffs is consistently relevant in 4A only.

“This has been discussed for three or four years,” Ergenbright said. “It’s been PLAYOFFS | 6B

Lackey, Molina pace Cards in win over Minnesota ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier Molina finally got ahold of one, and the six-time All-Star catcher called a pretty good game, too.

Molina homered for the first time this season and John Lackey worked eight strong innings for the St. Louis Cardinals, who won their fourth in a row with a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.

Manager Mike Matheny said it’s been a bigger issue outside the team, but noted “Sooner or later that wears on you, especially a guy that’s been able to hit 20 before.

“He hit four balls on the button and finally got one that carried a little better,” Matheny said.

Mark Reynolds connected three pitches ahead of Molina in the fourth, giving the Cardinals back-to-back homers.

Randal Grichuk tripled, singled and scored for St. Louis, which is 42-21 overall and 25-7 at home — both major league bests.

The Cardinals have won 15-of-20.

Gilbert rallies past CMB, stays unbeaten in HOIC

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GILBERT — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball team has h e l d leads in the sixth inning over its last two Heart of Iowa Conference Stover opponents.

Unfortunately, the Raiders have been unable to translate those leads into wins.

Saydel rallied from a 2-1 deficit against CMB on Friday and then first-place Gilbert used a two-run sixth and a two-run seventh to rally back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Raiders, 4-3, on Monday.

Brady Stover allowed just five hits and fanned 13, but he surrendered six walks in taking his first loss of the season. Only two

of the four runs were earned as the Raiders committed three errors.

The bats went silent, too. CMB managed two hits in the game, but two walks and four Gilbert errors helped the Raiders score three.

Gilbert improved to 12-2 overall and the Tigers are now a HOIC-best 8-0 after winning their eighth straight game.

CMB dropped its fourth in a row and is now 5-7 overall and 5-4 in HOIC play.

Brady Kemp had a hit and scored one of the runs. Tucker Maxwell had the other hit, the other two runs were scored by Hunter McWhirter and Brady Ross and the walks were registered by McWhirter and Spencer Gauch. Creighton Caple also had an RBI. CMB hosts Nevada at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

NASCAR Photo Austin Dillon, driver of the No. 3 American Ethanol Chevrolet, stands in the garage area with Richard Childress, owner of Richard Childress Racing during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday in Brooklyn, Mich. It was announced Monday that Slugger Labbe was named Dillon’s new crew chief as part of organizational changes at Richard Childress Racing.

Dillon gets new crew chief as RCR reorganizes staff CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Austin Dillon will have a new crew chief when NASCAR returns to action next weekend.

Slugger Labbe was named crew chief Monday for Dillon as part of organizational changes at Richard Childress Racing.

Gil Martin, who had been with Dillon since last season, was moved to RCR’s research and development department.

Dillon is a two-time Xfinity Series champion but has just five top-10 finishes since moving to the Sprint Cup Series last year. He’s currently 23rd in the standings as NASCAR heads into a rare off weekend.

Labbe has won the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 as a crew chief. He moved into an R&D role this year.

Martin will take over Labbe’s R&D responsibilities.

LeBron confident Cavs can hold off Warriors, force Game 7 CLEVELAND (AP) — Wearing a leather Cavaliers cap and a steely look, LeBron James used his postgame platform to proclaim that he’s “the best player in the world.”

It’s not as if his greatness was in dispute after five dominant games of these NBA Finals. James has shown no one challenges his on-court supremacy.

However, while his game and confidence soar, James knows he must do even more, if possible, to stop Cleveland’s inspiring postseason from crashing.

“I’ve got to be better,” James said.

Even that might not be enough.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are one win from a golden trophy.

Up 3-2 in a scintillating series loaded with subplots and strategy, the Warriors can win their first title since 1975 on Tuesday night with a win in Game 6. James didn’t blink after Game 5 when he declared he was not only the top player on seven continents, but prepared to raise his game.

“We’ve got enough to win it,” he said. “I feel confident.”

But so are the Warriors, and James’ bravado — and his preposterous postseason sta-

Football Continued from Page 1B None of those teams would have been invited to the postseason party if the new format would have been in effect this season.

Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz said, “I don’t have an issue with how it is now. Making the playoffs last year created a lot of excitement for the community as we go into next year.

We wouldn’t have that excitement if we didn’t make it.”

There are positives and negatives to everything.

One positive is that the first-round games will be more competitive. Another benefit of changing involves player safety. Playing one less game and spreading out the postseason more should present less risk for injuries.

One big negative to

tistics aside — won’t matter if Curry, who found his stroke a few games back in Quicken Loans Arena, shoots the way he did in Sunday night’s 10491 win.

Curry scored 17 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter, when he answered every one of James’ big baskets with stunning buckets of his own as the game’s two biggest stars played a finals version of “H-O-RS-E” to the delight of millions of TV viewers and a sonic crowd inside Oracle Arena.

Curry showed why he was the league’s MVP this season, setting the Warriors up to take home the shimmering Larry O’Brien Trophy.

Curry was treated for dehydration after Game 5, but he’s expected to be fully recovered as the Warriors try to finish the Cavs.

“We fought hard all year and put ourselves in good position now to go to Cleveland and hopefully close it out,” Curry said. “We’re confident.”

James stands in Golden State’s way, and clearly intends to do everything in his power to force Game 7. It’s unfathomable to think James can give any more than he already has, but he has no choice.

“I don’t put a ceiling on what I’m capable of doing,” he

coaches is that weeks 8 and 9 of the regular season now become less important because several teams will be eliminated from playoff contention earlier in the year.

“For us, we had a four-way tie for second that was decided in the final two weeks of the season,” Newton coach Ed Ergenbright said.

“We enjoyed playing last year. We beat a district champion last year and in the new format, we would have had the opportunity.”

Even after the change, there is still plenty of disconnect between coaches.

Lietz and Ergenbright liked things the way they were the past eight years. Bonnett wanted things to go back to when he played.

And CMB coach Rob Luther and Lynnville-Sully coach Mike Parkinson are both upin-the-air about the fi-

said. “I know I’m shouldering a lot of the burden, but it is what it is.”

After a 40-point, 14-rebound, 11-assist performance, he’s averaging 36.6 points, 12.5 rebounds and 8.8 assists — a mind-boggling statistical line never before seen in finals history. James is doing it all with All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love recovering from postseason surgeries, sparking debate about whether he deserves to be the finals MVP — win or lose.

Jerry West (1969) is the only player to win MVP honors for a losing team.

“He sets the pace,” said Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson.

“He’s doing what defenses give him and he’s playing smart.”

Smart and sublime may not be enough.

Cleveland’s supporting cast isn’t pulling its weight.

The Cavs got early baskets from J.R. Smith in Game 5, but the streaky shooter didn’t score in the last 33 minutes.

Guards Iman Shumpert and Matthew Dellavedova went a combined 5 of 18 and were tentative with the ball.

Cavs coach David Blatt matched Golden State coach Steve Kerr’s smaller starting lineup in Game 5, electing to play center Timofey Mozgov

nal outcome.

“I am disappointed that there will only be two teams that make it,” Parkinson said. “The quality of the playoffs will be better. It’s a fine line.”

Luther is on the Iowa Football Coaches Association Board of Directors. He was surprised at the decision after sitting in on some of the meetings with the IFCA. “It sounded like three or four months ago, that the 16-team format was off the table,” Luther said. “It sounded like we were down to an eightgame season and leaving the playoffs the way they were or starting a week early and going to every Friday night for playoff games.”

Luther said getting the playoff games to take place on Friday nights only was a top priority. The state wants games to be played once per week and no longer

for just nine minutes after the 7-footer scored 28 points with 10 rebounds in Game 4.

Blatt was defensive about his decision, snapping that he did what he felt necessary.

“Did I make a mistake?” asked Blatt, who had James at center for long stretches and didn’t indicate he’ll change for Game 6.

“I felt that the best chance for us to stay in the game and to have a chance to win was to play it the way that we played it.”

The Cavs didn’t expect to be in this position, not after losing Love in the first round, and not once Irving broke his kneecap in Game 1 of the finals.

They’ve been discarded before, so this latest adversity is nothing new to James and his teammates.

When he led the Cavs to his first finals in 2007, James watched as San Antonio finished off a sweep in Cleveland, Tim Duncan and the Spurs reveling in their championship under a shower of confetti.

Now in his fifth consecutive finals, James doesn’t want this storybook postseason to end.

Judging by his demeanor after Game 5, that’s the plan.

“We’ve got enough to win it,” he said. “I feel confident.”

in a 14-day stretch on Wednesday, Monday, Friday.

The playoffs, to me, included too many 3-6, 4-5 and 5-4 teams — more than 20 teams with losing records earned playoff berths last season.

Rewarding young kids for mediocrity doesn’t help them prepare for life as an adult.

Not everyone should get a ribbon.

But maybe an option of three playoff teams from each district with the champion getting a bye week would have been better.

That eliminates those average and below average teams but also allows most 6-3 teams a chance to get in.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t presented to the state’s football coaches as a voting option by the IHSAA. “That would have been a really good choice,” Ergenbright

said. “The champ is deserving to have a bye.

The reward would be to have a little more time to scout your possible opponent.”

Instead, in 2016, when the new format goes into affect, early-season games will mean more and late-season games will mean much less.

“I got comfortable with the 32 teams,” Luther said. “It made the final weeks of the season important.

“But we may have benefited more this past year with just having 16. I can make an argument from both sides.”

That’s the case with almost everyone.

The only thing to do now is adapt to the new format and form a strategy that gives your program the best chance to succeed.

Blackhawks Continued from Page 1B

AP Photo Chicago Blackhawks’ Kimmo Timonen, of Finland, hoists the Stanley Cup trophy after defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning in Wednesday’s Game 6 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Final series in Chicago. The Blackhawks defeated the Lightning 2-0 to win the series 4-2.

“I’d say you have a dynasty,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman told the cheering crowd as he presented the trophy to the grinning Blackhawks.

Ben Bishop kept the Lightning in the game with 30 saves, fighting through some sort of lower-body injury that kept him out of Game 4. Led by Bishop and big defenseman Victor Hedman, the Lightning allowed just 13 goals in the series, but it wasn’t enough against the unflappable Blackhawks.

Tampa Bay star Steven Stamkos finished the playoffs with an eight-game scoring drought that likely will chase him into the offseason. He rung the inside of the crossbar on a near miss at 7:50 of the first and was stoned by Crawford on a breakaway 58 seconds into

the middle period.

The pair of missed opportunities for one of the NHL’s most gifted scorers looked even more costly when the Blackhawks got on the board in the second.

Keith got a nice pass from Kane in the middle and shot it around Tampa Bay center Cedric Paquette. Bishop stopped his first try, but Keith kept skating past Paquette and flipped in the rebound at 17:13.

Keith then skated with his arms out and yelled before he was mobbed by his teammates near the boards.

Crawford threw his gloves into the air as the final seconds ticked off, and a sea of red and black that braved a dangerous line of thunderstorms to pack the United Center erupted in pure joy. Kane pumped his right arm as Crawford approached for a big hug, and the goaltender then wrapped his arms around Keith after they

helped limit the league’s highest-scoring team in the regular season to 10 goals in the final.

It was the first Stanley Cup for Kimmo Timonen, who has said he plans to retire. The 40-year-old defenseman was acquired in a trade with Philadelphia in February after he missed the start of the season while recovering from blood clots in his leg and lungs.

After captain Jonathan Toews got the trophy from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, he handed it right to Timonen, who proudly hoisted it into the air.

The Lightning had Nikita Kucherov back in the lineup after the forward crashed into the Chicago goal during the Blackhawks’ 2-1 victory Saturday night and missed the last part of Game 5. But Tampa Bay’s high-scoring triplets line never got untracked in the final.

Texas announces independent review of basketball academics AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The University of Texas has hired an outside investigator for an independent probe into allegations of academic fraud within the men’s basketball program.

School spokesman Gary Susswein said late Monday the investigation will be overseen by Gene Marsh, a former chairman of the NCAA infractions committee, who has already begun his work.

The review was ordered by new school President Greg Fenves, who assumed the post June 3. Last week,

Playoffs Continued from Page 1B our experience in 3A that those four teams that make the playoffs our of our district have been quality teams. I don’t think you see a lot of 3-6 or 4-5 teams making the playoffs in 3A.” Newton went 6-3 last year and finished in a three-way tie for second but ended up fourth because of the point system. Colfax-Mingo also was 6-3 and the four seed in Class A. Neither team would have made the playoffs last year if the new format was in place.

“I think it’s a shame, it’s a bad deal,” Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz said. “I don’t have a problem with the way it was. It makes district play meaningful through the final two weeks of the season.”

The pressure to win early will be more important in the new format. Teams can’t start slow and still expect to make the playoffs.

“We started 0-4 two years ago and then won five straight to get to the three seed and then won a playoff game,” Lynnville-Sully coach Mike Parkinson said.

“If we did that in the new format, there is no way we recover and get into the playoffs. I think the quality of the playoffs will be better though. There is a fine line.”

The time frame between playoff games was an issue for Bonnett and many other coaches. Ergenbright doesn’t have an opinion on playing every Friday because he has never had to do

the Chronicle of Higher Education reported on three cases of alleged academic misconduct by men’s basketball players.

The university scheduled a conference call with reporters Tuesday morning to discuss the investigation.

The cost of the probe and how long it will take were not immediately announced.

The announcement of the investigation was first reported by the Austin American-Statesman.

In the report by the Chronicle of

it. But he admitted his players are beat and sore and need to rest before playing another game.

“If it saves a player from injuries or a concussion I will be all for it, but we don’t know if this will help that or not,” Ergenbright said. “You have to let the kids rest up. They are beat up and sore. It affects how you prepare for games.”

Beste said the decision to reduce playoff teams and spread out the playoff games came about after many group discussions took place beginning April 29.

Beste said the IHSAA Board of Control discussed many options in that April 29 meeting but decided to gather more input from the IHSAA membership through the IHSAA Representative Council, Iowa High School Athletic Directors Association and the IFCA. All the groups involved in the discussions then joined together at Monday’s IHSAA Representative Council meeting.

Following the meeting, the IHSAA Board of Control convened and in an unanimous vote decided to retain nine regular season games and move toward a 16team playoff structure.

“I am glad they are trying some other things,” Parkinson said.

“There are two sides to every story. It will be tough on some struggling programs that are trying to build and change the tone of the program, but it will bring another piece of integrity back to the sport with better playoff games.”

Higher Education, a former academic counselor said a math instructor told him she saw former basketball player Martez Walker cheating on an exam, and that Walker was allowed to pass anyway. Walker has since transferred.

The counselor also said he believed former Longhorn P.J. Tucker received impermissible help with a paper while preparing for the NBA draft, and a former academic mentor said he helped write papers for former player J’Covan Brown.
