Letters in support for Bakken pipeline come from outside Iowa

Newton’s Marshall Critchfield has stepped down as the Republican Party of Jasper County chair to work on Perry’s campaign.

Critchfield leaves county GOP for Perry campaign

Jasper County Republican Chair will manage Iowa for super PAC

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The leader of Jasper County’s GOP contingent has decided to work on a much different project.

Marshall Critchfield has announced he’s stepping down from his position of chairman of the Republican Party of Jasper County. He’s been hired by the Opportunity & Freedom Political Action Committee — the super PAC supporting Perry’s campaign — as its Iowa State Director.

“I have decided to accept a position that will require me to step down from my role in Jasper County,” Critchfield

said in his statement. “I am very excited for this new opportunity and look forward to Critchfield speaking with every one of you (county party members) about my organization’s strong commitment to getting (former) Gov. Rick Perry elected President of the United States.”

Critchfield said Jasper County Co-Chair Marlys Popma has been notified, and the county’s leadership team is working on a plan for a

smooth transition.

His assistant at Opportunity & Freedom, according to The Texas Tribune’s website, will be Beth Hamilton, a Republican operative from Jackson, Miss. Jackson is the home of Austin Barbour, senior adviser to the super PAC. Perry’s official campaign team in Iowa had 10 paid staff at one time, but recently reduced that number to one position. State co-chair Sam Clovis, whose long list of Iowa political activities include radio host and 2014 state treasurer candidate, recently left the Perry campaign and joined candidate Donald Trump’s team.

However, Critchfield isn’t replacing Clovis, who was directly heading the campaign. He’s in charge of the fundraising super PAC. “I will oversee a state-

of-the-art ground game, comprised of dozens of paid staff going door-todoor and on the phones throughout Iowa to identify supporters and potential supporters of Gov. Perry,” Critchfield said in an email to the Newton Daily News.

“Opportunity and Freedom has made the decision to invest in Iowa to help Perry succeed on caucus night, Feb. 1.

That is what I have been hired to help accomplish.”

The outgoing chairman thanked local Republicans for participating in fundraisers and events over the past couple of years, such as a “Newton Poll” in place of this year’s canceled statewide straw poll; two annual trap-shooting events and various parades and festivals.

DES MOINES — An activist group in Des Moines is claiming nearly 500 letters filed with the Iowa Utilities Board in support of the Bakken crude oil pipeline have come from outside of Iowa.

According to Iowa a spokesperson for Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, the letters filed Aug. 25 predominately originated from California, New York, Indiana and Canada. Iowa CCI member Nathan Malchowski said Tuesday that 90 percent of the letters came from a state other than Iowa.

“Iowans already know that this proposal is being pushed by big oil interests at our expense,” Malachowski said.. “These letters prove that pro-pipeline lobbyists will go to no ends to attempt to justify their flawed case in favor of the Bakken Pipeline and more big oil profits.”

In Brief Sacred Heart to host inquiry night Sept. 15

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church will host a weekly group, JustFaith, that will explore local and worldwide social issues in an effort to better understand how to serve.

JustFaith series coming to St. Stephen’s

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News National program JustFaith, which is based on the Christian Gospel message, is being planned at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. The 24-week series has a limited number of openings and will be on Wednesday evenings starting in mid-September.

“JustFaith helps participants experience a deeper faith or spirituality, a greater sense of purpose, and a better understanding of our call to love and serve those in need,” Executive Director of the Center of Social Ministry Susie Tierney said.

Tierney will lead the group, along with co-facilitators the Rev. Karen Crawford and Kathy Trotter. The small group, typically 8-12 participants, will meet for two hours and focus on poverty and other major issues that intersect with poverty on a local,

national and global scale. Contact for the program is provided by seven to eight books that work to engage and reach participants at both an intellectual and personal level.

“Some of the issues addressed during the program include racism, environmental stewardship, peace and nonviolence and simplicity,” Tierney said.

The meetings will have three primary components starting with prayer, a dialogue around a weekly reading assignments and a video or guest speaker. The groups will only have facilitators, not teachers. It is designed for adults of any age and inter-generational groups are welcomed and encouraged.

“It is a fantastic opportunity to explore the many justice issues that present themselves to us on a daily basis both in our backyard and worldwide,” Crawford said.

JustFaith has been offered in the Des Moines metro area

for more than 13 years, however, this will be its first session in Newton. It is coordinated by the Center for Social Ministry, a nonprofit organization which aims to encourage participation in poverty awareness and justice education programs.

“While the content of the program is Christian (Gospel) based, anyone is welcome to participate in the program. The sessions cover issues that affect people across the globe and helps participants determine how to respond to the needs of the world in some small way through a common sense of humanity,” Tierney said.

For more information about the program, contact Tierney at centerforsocialministry@gmail. com or 515-782-3054 or Crawford at 515-360-9025.

Hoebelheinrich says farewell as Burdess takes the reins

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Colleagues from around central Iowa along with local community members came to say congratulations and thanks to retiring Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich on Tuesday at city hall. Hoebelheinrich served Newton for 33 years, the last six as chief.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Mayor Mike Hansen swears in Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess at a ceremony held Tuesday at city hall. Burdess was announced as the new chief of police on Aug. 10 and takes over for former chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich.

American Red Cross encourages preparing for emergencies during National Preparedness Month Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Disasters can strike at any time, and the most common disaster threat people face across the country is a fire in their home. The American Red Cross Iowa Region encourages everyone to be ready for emergencies like home fires by creating a disaster plan for their household during National Preparedness Month.

As part of its Home Fire Campaign which aims to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires by as much as 25 percent over the next five years, the Red Cross urges households to develop a fire escape plan and practice it with everyone in their home.

“Having an emergency plan is an important step so everyone in the household knows what they should do if something happens,” said Dan Cataldi, Regional Disaster Office.

“We believe people should mark National Preparedness Month by creating or updating their plan.”

HOME FIRES National Preparedness Month is a good time to develop a fire escape plan and practice it with everyone in the household. When developing the plan, walk through the home and look at all exits and possible escape routes, including windows. List

two ways to get out of every room in case fire blocks one of the paths.

Pick a place to meet outside, a safe distance away and — no matter the circumstances — stay out of the home until fire officials say it is okay to go back inside. All households should practice their plan at least twice a year.

People should also install smoke alarms on every level of their home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. They should test the alarms monthly, replace the batteries at least once a year and replace them every ten years.

The Red Cross is working with several Iowa communities planning smoke alarm installation events this year. Two smoke alarm installation events are planned in Iowa on Sept. 19. Red Cross volunteers will join the Burlington Fire Department and Burlington Elks Lodge #84 to canvass the following neighborhoods: Flint Hills Drive; Lennox Park; Yoder Drive; Green Acres Mobile Home Park and Congers Mobile Home Park. The teams will install free smoke alarms and new batteries where

needed. The Red Cross is also working with the American Legion Auxiliary in Correctionville and Woodbury County, and will install free smoke alarms as part of the community safety day on Sept. 19.

For more than three years, the Red Cross in Iowa has worked closely with the Iowa State Fire Marshal’s Office, local fire departments and community groups, and with the help of more than 1,000 volunteers, has successfully installed more than 4,450 smoke alarms in Centerville, Lake City, Ottumwa, Des Moines, Newton, Arlington, Nevada, Dubuque, Riverton and Cedar Rapids.

MAKE A PLAN Everyone in the household should help put the emergency plan together so they know what they should do if something occurs. Because everyone may not be together at home when a disaster happens, the plan should include ways to contact one another and two places to meet — one near the home in case of a sudden emergency like a fire, and one outside the neighborhood in case circumstances prevent people from re-

turning home. The plan should also identify an emergency contact person from outside the area in case local telephone lines are overloaded or out of service.

Any emergency plan should also include decisions about where to go if ordered to evacuate and what route to take to get there. It’s a good idea to include alternate routes in case roads are closed. Don’t forget family pets.

Make sure to include plans for them such as pet-friendly hotels and animal shelters along the evacuation route.

RED CROSS APPS The Red Cross has developed mobile apps that provide information on what to do before, during and after emergencies. The all-inclusive Emergency App and other preparedness apps have a “Make a Plan” feature on how to develop an emergency plan. Users can develop their plan and share it with household members through the apps.

People can also download the Monster Guard App so 7 to 11 yearolds will have a free, fun gaming environment to learn how to prevent emergencies like home fires and stay safe in an emergency or severe weather. The free apps can be found in smartphone app stores by searching for the American Red Cross or going to redcross.org/apps.

Pipeline Continued from Page 1A The 1,134-mile, 30-inch diameter oil pipeline, proposed by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners, would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day. If approved by the IUB, the Iowa segment will be part of a connecting line between the North Dakota Bakken crude oil fields with a hub in Patoka, Ill., leading to gulf coast refineries. A 34-mile portion of the pipeline is slated to run through Jasper County.

The letters found on the IUB’s website are addressed by LiUNA Groups 9-16, which is the Labor’s Inter nation Union of North America. The labor unions have come out in heavy support of the Bakken Pipeline.

Critchfield Continued from Page 1A “Thank you for all of the support over the past two years,” Critchfield said. “We have made monumental strides together: street parties, shooting contests, straw polls, bar-b-que joints, and social media — it’s been a great run.”

Critchfield said some Iowa voters might have little or no impression of Perry, who hasn’t gotten nearly the recent TV exposure of some Republican candidates. Perry was in a televised Aug. 6 debate, but it was the late-afternoon debate rather than the prime-time version broadcast on Fox. “Our group is sending people door to door – across Iowa. We’re going to get folks to give Rick Perry another look,” Critchfield said. “This country is looking for a charismatic reformer who doesn’t remind them of Washington, D.C. and who has a proven track record of getting things done.”

Critchfield is optimistic Perry, despite his early struggles for exposure, will catch fire in Iowa.

“Nobody has ever left an event for Rick Perry without a smile on their face,” Critchfield said.

“I’ve spent enough time in politics to know that ‘likeability’ is one of the top reasons people pull the lever for a particular candidate.”

I wish I knew my brake pads

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Sept. 2, 2015

I’m a self-confessed city boy.

When it comes to being out in the country, I look as out of place as a 4-H prize sheep would look on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons I don’t have any real background in auto mechanics. I feel like I could have saved myself a lot of time, money and embarrassment through the years if I’d been raised around cars and engines, but I now have no one to blame but myself.

I’m able to do a few basic repairs with a screwdriver or wrench, and I’m smart enough to keep a handful of tools in the trunk — especially as a car gets older. However, I have no patience for anything mechanical that takes real brains, rather than brute force, and thus have never mastered the science of vehicular problem-solving.

We seem to have moved into an era when a sufficient amount of shops, trained workers, support industry and proper waste dis-

posal that means most of us don’t need to service our own vehicles.

Those who work with or on vehicles for a living most likely live on property where they can work on cars and trucks themselves, and many told me they prefer to take care of most things themselves.

Meanwhile, those of us who barely know a gas cap from a gas gauge are at the mercy of mechanics, parts stores and distributors and dealerships. No one is going to feel sorry for us; it’s not their fault we never took the time to open a manual or a Wikipedia page and learn the basics of automotive science.

Once in a great while, my resourcefulness saves me a buck or two, keeps my car out of the shop for something super-basic, and helps avoid getting stranded by the side of the road. However, by and large, I’m basically the kid who can help sweep out the shop, or help lift or lower an engine, but is otherwise useless for anything requiring patience or persever-

ance.

There are a few folks who have taken the time to either bring me up to speed on pricing or technical issues, in addition to fixing my vehicle.

Bob McCormick, of Cappy’s Auto, along with the rest of the hard-working Jasper County automotive people, would rather have their customers be knowledgeable. I often feel like I only show up at their desks to be part of the problem, rather than simply reading, planning ahead and being part of the solution.

It’s not as if there’s a lack of information in the world. AutoZone.com features an instructional video dedicated to the specific goal of helping customers decide between new or re-manufactured alternators; most parts store clerks can explain a part’s difference that edifies as well as informs — even if they’re upselling a more expensive option.

So, here I stand, at the crossroads between the self-pity of a

lack of engineering skills and the motivation to try and make up for lost ground.

I’m not sure if it’s a gender issue, and men are expected to know at least a slight amount more about cars than women, but I think a bigger factor is whether someone grew up in household that discussed fixing cars itself.

This amount of “we’ll-do-it-foryou” approach (which is happening at the same time home-improvement stores are trying to make everything a do-it-yourself job) reduces motivation for any of us to learn how to analyze brakepad wear ourselves.

Someday, I’ll walk through the front door of a Napa store and ask for a high-tech part known only by a long series of digits and letters. But knowing my luck, someone will pull a “Tommy Boy” moment, repeating David Spade’s line “Did I catch a ‘niner’ in there?”

A cowardly, un-American deal

Another View

A new year and a renewed commitment For those of us who work in the field of education, August defines the return of students, faculty and staff. Our parking lots and buildings come alive with the excitement of starting another school year. There is no better time for everyone throughout our college district to renew their commitment to our mission and By Chris Duree student success.

Many people ask, “How do you define student success?” A review of the professional literature would result in multiple definitions, each with a different spin on what components actually play a part in helping students attain their educational goals.

As a person who attempts to keep things as simple as possible, my definition of student success is that students successfully complete what they start.

True, there are many factors that play into whether or not a student actually does successfully finish what he or she set out to accomplish. The old saying: “It takes a village to raise a child” is really no different when we think about ensuring our students achieve their goals. In other words, we ask that all of our college employees understand and perform the roles they play in student success.

We know that the sooner a student connects and establishes a relationship with another person on our campuses, the sooner he or she is on the path to remaining in college and successfully completing a certificate, diploma or degree.

Good old-fashioned, positive human connections can serve as the “anchor” that keeps students in school. This process can start with a plant services worker greeting a student in the parking lot and helping them find their way to the admissions office. It may be a faculty member who welcomes each student at the door of the classroom

and learns the student’s first name.

Whether the person is a custodian, instructor, advisor, administrator, or any other person in our college, the personal touch of reaching out to help students can make all the difference in the world during the first few weeks of the college experience.

We have asked everyone who works for the Iowa Valley Community College District to renew their commitment to providing quality learning experiences for our students, and doing whatever it takes to ensure they have a successful experience while they are with us. We still believe in the human touch, and we also believe it’s what sets us apart from other colleges where students are only another number in the enrollment.

Chris Duree is the Chancellor of Iowa Valley Community College District (IVCCD), which operates Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Marshalltown Community College, Iowa Valley Grinnell and Iowa Valley Continuing Education.

Many Americans rightly watch in disbelief as leaders of our country push to conclude a dangerous and ill-conceived nuclear agreement with an incorrigible a n d evil nation, a leading sponsor of ter- By Star Parker rorism.

Since when does the United States negotiate out of fear, out of weakness? But this is what is happening. How else to explain moving forward with a deal this complicated and dangerous with people no rational person would trust?

Abrogation of American leadership, meaning America acting in an unprincipled and cowardly way, leads inevitably to a world more dangerous and less free. We should be ashamed.

Many have already written about the technical problems of this socalled deal. Huge time lags in follow-up inspections, allowing Iran to re-build its conventional arms arsenal, and that this will accelerate rather than decelerate the nuclear arms race in the Middle East and lead inevitably to a nuclear-armed Iran.

Administration officials don’t even try to deny that the hundreds of billions that will be released to Iran as result of lifting sanctions will provide funding for terror.

According to President Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, “We should expect that some portion of that money would go to the Iranian military and could potentially be used for the kinds of bad behavior that we have seen in the region up until now.”

Per testimony of Adam Szubin, acting undersecretary of the treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence: “I

expect we’ll continue to see that...” regarding Iranian terrorism support.

And Wendy Sherman, undersecretary of state for political affairs, said, “As for Iran’s behavior, the United States is under no illusions.”

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement saying they will continue to support rogue activities.

“Whether or not this drafted (nuclear agreement) text is approved through legal process in the country, the Iranian nation will not stop supporting the oppressed nation of Palestine, Yemen, Bahrain as well as the nations and governments of Syria, Iraq and the honest combatants in Lebanon and Palestine.”

The Wall Street Journal’s Mary O’Grady has written extensively about Iranian activities in Latin America.

“Iran has targeted Latin America since the mid-1980s,” O’Grady reports, “by establishing mosques and cultural centers to spread the revolution. An arm of Hezbollah, Iran’s Islamic fundamentalist proxy, took responsibility for the 1992 terrorist attack on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires. Argentine prosecutors named Iran as the mastermind behind the 1994 terrorist attack on the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) in the same city.”

O’Grady continues, “In 2013 Alberto Nisman, the Argentine prosecutor who was investigating the AMIA case, released a 500-page report about the extensive Iranian terrorism network in the hemisphere. One of his more chilling findings was that the foiled 2007 plot to blow up New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport was an Iranian operation, run by a Guyanese recruit. In January Nisman was found in his Buenos Aires apartment with a bullet through his head.”

Scammers are on dating sites hoping to lure trusting marks DEAR ABBY: I was recently the target of a romance scam on a popular singles website. After being a divorcee for 15 years, I decided to try online dating. Minutes after I went online, someone asked to chat.

He said he was a widower with an adult daughter and a jeweler by trade, living near me but returning to Florida the next day with ultimate plans to relocate to my area. He mentioned he was originally from Germany and had an accent. We chatted on Google Hangouts, and he sent me sweet emails every morning saying how much he loved meeting me and that it was “our time to have a second chance.”

After three weeks of chatting but only a short, garbled phone conversation, he asked for a favor. He was attending a jewelry show and needed me to send his diamond supplier money to pay for a shipment. He made it sound urgent and gave me a name and address in Ghana where he could get the best quality diamonds at the best price.

All along I had kept my guard up, but his request confirmed for me that it was a scam. When I Googled the Ghana name and address, it came back “Ghana Scammer.” Abby, these people even provided photos of the person they pretended to be, along with a cellphone and address that actually were under the name of the person they were impersonating.

A couple of telltale signs people should be aware of: First, if you don’t talk to them or their cellphone seems to have a very bad connection, it’s likely they aren’t in the country. Second: If you can’t meet in person, it’s likely they’re pretending to be someone else. He told me that his email had been hacked, and then someone tried to have a conversation from his email asking me personal questions about my retirement funds.

Please help me warn others about these types of scams. — LOVELESS IN WASHINGTON DEAR LOVELESS: Gladly!

Thank you for writing about your near-miss, because many trusting people have been victimized in this way.

Phone and online scams have more than proliferated this year; they appear to have metastasized.

No less than five individuals I know have been approached by scammers trying to lure them into money-losing “propositions.” Two of them were told they were having problems with their tax returns. (Not true.) Two others got the “Grandma, please don’t tell my parents, but I’m in jail and need bail money” phone calls. One of the women is childless; the other told the caller, “That’s funny. You didn’t mention it when I talked to you two hours ago.”

(The caller hung up on her.)

It takes courage and trust to open oneself up to a stranger you hope could become the love of your life. Romance scammers know this can make people vulnerable. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), this particular type of scammer typically tries to lure potential victims away from a dating website and communicate privately by email or instant messages.

They tend to profess their love very quickly, and spin elaborate tales about business ventures, overseas travel or family problems that end in requests for money or favors from their mark.

According to a recent FBI report, romance scams made up more than 10 percent of the $800 million in Internet crimes committed against Americans last year.

Readers, as much as you might want to believe the impassioned appeals, guard your hearts and your bank accounts from these scammers. Report them to your dating website and to FTC.gov. Protect yourselves by visiting USA.gov/scams-and-frauds and learning how dozens of these scams work and where to report it if you have been victimized.

Biden to test political waters in Florida as he mulls 2016 The Associated Press WA S H I N G T O N — Vice President Joe Biden is headed to F lor ida, where he’s sure to get a glimpse of his presidential p r o s pects as he considers a Biden late entry into the 2016 Democratic primaries.

Biden plans to appear at Miami Dade

College and headline a private fundraiser for Senate Democrats on Wednesday as he mulls a potential challenge to Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton. Interest in a Biden bid has intensified in recent weeks as Clinton has struggled with what some Democrats consider a lackluster start to her campaign and scrutiny over her use of a private email account and server as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state.

“There’s a malaise inside the race right

now with Clinton. People I know who are supporting her are not necessarily withdrawing, but are unenthusiastic,” said Tony Bisagnano, an Iowa state senator who backed Biden’s campaign in 2008 and wants him to run again.

But he cautioned: “We’re getting close to where it’s going to be a tough race if he waits much longer.”

A Democrat familiar with Biden’s deliberations said recent discussions have focused on whether Biden’s family would be ready to pursue a third presidential

campaign only months after the death of the vice president’s son, Beau Biden.

Also under consideration is whether Biden can meet the basic criteria to be a serious contender, such as whether he would have a plausible path to victory in the campaign and whether he would be able to raise enough money to be competitive.

The Democrat spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the private conversations.

SIOUX CITY (AP) — Nighttime travel likely will be easier for motorists in Sioux City as the city looks to change more streetlights to LED bulbs, which shine brighter and are more cost effective.

MidAmerican Energy Co. has announced that it started switching some 100,000 streetlights it owns and operates in the municipalities that it serves from older, high-pressure sodium bulbs to LED, or light-emitting diode, bulbs.

Sioux City owns about 1,600 streetlights in the city, while MidAmerican owns about 6,600 of them.

The city has asked MidAmerican to change the lights along streets that see higher traffic.

“It’s the place citizens are going to get the most benefit,” said Ed Pickens, city field services/streets superintendent.

A company representative said a number of municipalities across the U.S. are moving to LED streetlights because it helps them cut costs and save energy.

LED lights shine brighter and emanate a white color, and will be more noticeable to city residents who have grown accustomed to the pinkish-orange glow of current lights.

New Clearview director aims to continue program’s success

By Alex Olp Prairie City News The new executive director of Clearview Recovery, Scott Pritchard, now has two weeks under his belt and is getting the feel for his new role.

Pritchard replaced former executive director Marv Fangman, who built the business from the ground up. Pritchard talked about the moment Fangman offered him the role of executive director.

“He called me in here and asked me what I thought about being the executive director. And the first words I said were ‘Marv, I would be honored,’” Pritchard said. “I hope that I can keep it what it is that he built. He’s done a nice job here from the ground up. This building wasn’t in great shape at the beginning and he made a lot of changes and it’s turned into a successful program for a lot of women and their children.”

Pritchard said he doesn’t plan on making any big changes the first year and wants to just keep the boat steady, get it clear

from any waves and maintain a successful program for women and children.

“It’s just a huge honor, and I want to keep Clearview what it’s been and the reputation we have built of being a good quality treatment center,” Pritchard said. “I want to keep that reputation and build it from there.”

Pritchard was formerly a substance abuse counselor for the company and said his past experience as an addict and now being sober for 14 and half years has helped him relate to the women and perform his duties as a counselor for eight years.

“I understand what the girls are going through.

I’ve been there. I’ve done that, which I think helps,” Pritchard said. “And we have some other employees who have been in that same situation — went through treatment and made their way to successful careers.”

Pritchard found his way to the top Clearview and is now the face of company. He said he will miss the one-on-one time with clients, but is excited

to learn and step into a new role.

Pritchard shadowed Fangman for a full month before taking over and will be able to reach Fangman via Skype for the next six months for any help or advice.

“There will be a lot things I’ll be doing that I haven’t done, but I like to learn and I think I can handle it. And Skyping with Marv to ask ‘is this right’ or ‘what do I need to do here’ will be a huge help for me,” he said.

Fangman’s resignation went into effect Aug. 21.

He said he would not have recommended Pritchard to fill his role as executive director if he did not believe he could handle it.

“He has been with the organization from the start and has transformed into a seasoned professional who has experience in all facets of the treatment process,” Fangman said. “He is honest and good, which provides him the characteristics necessary to lead the organization into the future and maintain the mission statement as it is written.”

Raiders ring up victory over Hawks

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Neither head coach was sure what they were going to see from their respective teams heading into Tuesday non-conference match between Lynnville-Sully and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

Lynnville-Sully head coach Heather James’ Hawks were opening the 2015 season at home against the CMB Raiders. The Hawks were in revamping mode following a large graduating group of players off last year’s team.

CMB head coach Scott Ranck brought a team into the LSHS gym which won a conference match Monday night. He admitted he wasn’t sure what the Raiders would bring playing back-to-back nights.

Ranck and the Raiders walked away with a 25-21, 2520, 25-18 win. James and the Hawks walked away knowing they need to fix things, but overall they should be alright for the season, James said.

“We hadn’t beaten Lynnville-Sully in three years. The girls came into the match a bit flat — you know, not knowing what to expect on their court,” Ranck said. “We expended so much emotional energy on winning Monday night. It took us a bit to find our tempo out there tonight.”

James said a team never wants to lose, especially at home.

“Coming together for the first match, you never know what you’re going to have,” James said. “We may have to make some tweaks and adjustments, but for the first match, we’re pretty happy.”

With a five-point service run by junior Brenna Lanser, Lynnville-Sully was up 6-3 in the first set. CMB closed the gap, but still trailed 20-18.

set serving up five straight points, which included one of her three ace serves of the night and a kill by Bekah Pearson.

Lynnville-Sully stopped the run, but a kill by Brianda Bane gave the serve back to the Raiders.

Needing just one point to notch the opening set win, Sailor Hinegardner came off the bench. She served up the set point.

The second set was backand-forth between the Hawks and Raiders. Tied 11-all, Toni Spencer had two straight points, including an ace serve, to give the Raiders the lead for good. The Hawks pushed

Hawk harriers compete at Williamsburg meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WILLIAMSBURG — Seniors Canyon Kuhlmann and Marissa Vos were the frontrunners for L y n n ville-Sully’s cross country teams in Tu e s d a y ’s first meet of the 2015 season for the Hawk Kuhlmann harriers.

Kuhlmann, who is ranked No. 30 in Class 1A, was the lone Hawk boy in the W il liamsburg Invitational. He Vos ran the 5K course in 18 minutes, 35 seconds to finish 20th out of field of 100 runners.

Logan Murray, a junior, led Mount Pleasant to the boys’ team title by winning the individual championship with a time of 16:53.

Mount Pleasant scored 76 points and Mid-Prairie was second with 88 points.

There were 12 teams competing in the meet.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls

had their first official meet running the 5K distance.

Vos posted a 49th-place time of 24:24. The Hawks’ No. 2 runner Tuesday was junior Ida Byggeth, who ran a 25-minute race for 60th place.

Only one girl ran the race in under 20 minutes — Williamsburg senior Julie Hollensbe won the girls’ race in 19:22 followed by Oskaloosa junior Senna DeJong in 20:20. There were 100 runners and 13 teams in the girls’ competition.

Williamsburg won the team title with 69 points and Marion was second with 77 points. Lynnville-Sully finished 11th with 296 points.

Senior Kasiah Ehresman led a pack of three Hawk runners. Ehresman was 84th in 26:23 followed by junior Haley James in 87th at 26:24 and sophomore Hailey Scandridge at 26:29. Kristine Jaennette, a junior, placed 98th in 27:21.

Lynnville-Sully competes in Saturday’s Pella Invitational. The meet begins at 11 a.m. on the Central College cross country course. The Hawks are in the Grinnell Invitational Tuesday.

back, but could not string together points.

Katie Camp, who came off the bench to serve for CMB throughout the match, had a four-point run at the service line. She was 11-of-11 on the night and had two aces.

Working the net during the run were Bane and Pearson.

“They have big hitters and are a tough serving team. We couldn’t get the pass up far enough to give our setters opportunities to set well,” James said. “Our girls found out tonight, if you don’t have a good pass, it is hard to get the kill.”

Facing a 24-17 deficit in the second second, the Hawks

fought off the set point. Senior libero Kristen Van Der Wilt, who was 10-of-10 serving, served up two points for the Hawks. The Raiders used a kill from Bane to record the final set point.

Set three went much like the second set. Lynnville-Sully had the lead, 8-7 on a serve from Van Der Wilt. CMB took over the serve and Spencer delivered two aces, but back came the Hawks. Senior Shelby Foster served three points to give the Hawks a 14-13 lead.

Lanser had a kill on defense then a tip at the net to give control of the serve to Lynnville-Sully at 18-17. The Hawks had trouble protecting the serve.

Leading 19-17, the Raiders reeled off five straight points until sophomore Camryn Russell put down a kill for Lynnville-Sully. The Hawks were trying to stave off match point, but CMB wasn’t going to be denied.

“The kids were focused on this match and continuing our strong start to the season,” Ranck said. “We passed the ball really well with people moving all over the court.

We still wanted to be aggressive with our serving and hitting. For the most part, we did that.”

CMB racked up 33 kills as a team led by Bane with 11.

Payge Jurgens and Jordynn Wesselink each had seven kills each. Kathleen Baldwin was credited with 26 set assists.

Serving was at 76 percent for the Raiders. Camp served for nine points with two aces while Hurley had eight points and three aces. Spencer served for seven points and six ace serves. Wesselink and Jurgens each had six service points followed by Hinegardner with three points, Baldwin and Pearson each had one service point.

Hurley led the Raiders

with 12 digs and Spencer had 10 digs.

Lynnville-Sully served pretty well also led by Lanser, going 12-of-12 with nine points.

Junior Makenzy Rozendaal and Foster each had four service points followed by Van Der Wilt’s three points. Freshman Carson Fisk and Russell each served for two points and sophomore Skyler Young had one point.

“We were scrappy tonight.

We played with them so that gives us confidence going into Thursday’s conference match.

We’ll get ready for that,” James said.

Fisk and Young each had four set assists. James said the two young setters learned how to recognize the best way to set certain passes to help the hitters. Lanser topped the kill list for the Hawks with four.

Rozendaal had two kills.

Lanser came up with 10 digs while Rozendaal and Van Der Wilt each had five digs.

Lynnville-Sully (0-1) opens South Iowa Cedar League play Thursday at home against BGM. CMB (2-0) takes a 1-0 Heart of Iowa Conference mark into Tuesday’s home match against Greene County.

Lynnville-Sully dropped a 22-20, 12-22, 15-8 decision to CMB in freshman play.

Leading the Hawks were Makayla Rozendaal with two aces serves and four digs, Fisk with eight digs, Shiloh Cunningham with seven digs, and Kayla Van Dyke with two kills.

CMB won the junior varsity match, 25-8, 25-14. Taya Meyer and McKinley Conover each had six digs for Lynnville-Sully and Allison Renaud had five digs. Russell had two kills and one service ace.

Newton volleyball freshmen improve on the court

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Newton High’s freshman volleyball team was back on the court Tuesday in the BGM Freshman Tournament. The Cardinals split a match with English Valleys and lost to Belle Plaine and Meskwaki.

“This was a much better night for us even if the scores don’t show it,” Newton freshman coach Michaela Wood said. “There were a lot of good things that came through tonight. We switched up the rotation a bit, and had some girls really step up and show they wanted to be here.”

Against English Valleys, Newton won the first set 21-8 and lost the second set 21-18. Belle Plaine defeated Newton 21-13, 21-4. The Cardinals battled Meskwaki, dropping a 21-17, 21-12 decision.

Jazmin Chance and Brittney McConnell each served six aces. Hannah Edwards had four service aces and Tegan Simmons served two aces. Arieal Lum delivered four kills for Newton.

Javier Baez among four added to roster by Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have added infield prospect Javier Baez and three others from Triple-A Iowa before Tuesday night’s game against the Cincinnati Reds.

With rosters expanding, Chicago recalled pitcher Tsuyoshi Wada and selected the contracts of outfielder Quintin Berry and reliever Trevor Cahill from Iowa. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Cubs designated relievers James Russell and Rafael Soriano for assignment.

Catcher David Ross was activated off the family medical emergency list.

Outfielder Austin Jackson, acquired Monday from Seattle, was added to the active roster.

“You’ve got a good mix of veterans and young guys,” Jackson said. “That’s a good mix that you need when you’re approaching the postseason.”

Baez, 22, is one of Chicago’s top prospects but struggled during a brief stint in the major leagues last year. In 52 games, Baez hit nine home runs but struck out 95 times and batted.169.

Since then, Baez has changed his approach and worked to eliminate a violent leg kick from his swing in hopes to make more contact.

This season at Iowa before being recalled, Baez hit .324 with 13 home runs in 70 games.

Baez, who was batting seventh and playing second base, missed time this season after a wrist injury and the death of his sister.

Baez went 0-for-4 in Chicago’s comefrom-behind win over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.

Kyle Schwarber hit a go-ahead 2-run homer in the seventh and Kris Bryant had three hits and two RBIs in the 5-4 win.

Cyclones seek fast start after early stumbles AMES (AP) — Opening day losses have all but doomed Iowa State in each of the last two seasons.

The Cyclones know that the path to a turnaround could begin with a strong start and this year’s schedule should give them a chance for one.

Iowa State opens its seventh season under coach Paul Rhoads with an immediate must-win game Saturday against Northern Iowa.

The Cyclones have dropped back-toback home openers against FCS schools, starting with a defeat to Northern Iowa in 2013.

If Iowa State can get past the Panthers this weekend, it has a shot at a winning streak with Iowa, Toledo, Kansas and Texas Tech on deck.

“We need to play better and, when adversity comes — which it will — we need to be able to handle it and respond to it,” Rhoads said.

The Cyclones emerged from fall camp without suffering any significant health concerns, which was crucial for a team that’s been devastated by injuries in recent years. Perhaps the only hit they took was the sudden departure of backup defensive lineman Devlyn Cousin last week.

Iowa State still has no idea what it has at running back.

The starter, according to a depth chart released Monday, will be sophomore Tyler

Troy Hyde/Daily News Paul Rhoads enters his seventh season as Iowa State’s football coach and the Cyclones hope to get off to a better start this season than they did in 2013 and 2014 when they lost to Northern Iowa and North Dakota State, respectively. The Panthers come to town again Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Brown, the only back with any collegiate experience. Brown rushed for 109 yards last season on just 24 carries.

Iowa State also will give freshmen Mike

Warren and Joshua Thomas a look against the Panthers. Warren averaged 9.3 yards a carry while rushing for over 2,500 yards as a high school senior, and at 224 pounds Thomas gives the Cyclones a big back for short-yardage situations at the very least.

Rhoads also announced Monday that wide receiver Trever Ryen, who emerged as a potential contributor with a strong off-season, has been moved to running back to bolster backfield depth.

“The plan will be to see a lot of bodies carrying the ball out there and carrying it well. Do I have an, ‘Oh, he’s going to get the first carry and those guys are going to get the next three plays?’ No. It’s not that specific. We’ll play one back, we’ll play two backs,” Rhoads said. “As the game goes along, who’s playing well and what the situations are, we’ll be able to go from there.”

Iowa State’s coaching staff insisted throughout August that the Cyclones are a much more cohesive unit than they’ve been in recent seasons.

But another loss to an FCS opponent — on a night when Iowa State should draw more than 60,000 for the first time at remodeled Jack Trice Stadium — could really hurt.

“It’s the start of everything. It really builds confidence and sets the tone for the rest of the season,” quarterback Sam Richardson said.

Iowa enters 2015 with questions at WR IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa wide receiver Tevaun Smith drew attention this offseason by catching 41 passes in 60 seconds with just one hand, a feat captured for a video that’s been viewed more than 200,000 times on YouTube.

Hardly anyone outside of Iowa City has seen much from of the rest of the Hawkeyes receivers, though.

One of Iowa’s biggest question marks — outside of Smith, of course — is who is going to emerge from an inexperienced group of wideouts.

Senior Jacob Hillyer and junior Matt VandeBerg, the two starters listed alongside Smith for Saturday’s opener against Illinois State, combined for just 25 receptions last season.

Junior Riley McCarron, the first guy off the bench, didn’t catch a pass last year.

Still, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz believes those four receivers give the Hawkeyes a strong core to build around.

“I think that group has re-

ally improved. We have four guys we have great confidence in,” Ferentz said.

Despite the fact that he’ll likely be the focus of opposing defenses, Smith seems primed for a big season.

Smith was the rare Iowa freshman to play in nearly every game, and he caught 24 passes as a sophomore in 2013.

Last season Smith had 43 receptions for 596 yards and touchdown catches against Northwestern and Nebraska.

The departure of top wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley left Smith as Iowa’s new No. 1 option.

He went online to show he’s ready for the added responsibility.

One day after New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr.

caught 33 one-handed passes in a minute on ESPN ahead of the Super Bowl, Smith oneupped him from inside Iowa’s new practice facility.

The trick brought national attention to Smith, who is hopeful he can stay in the spotlight with his on-field performance this fall.

“After practice I’m getting extra work because I know there’s going to be a lot of opportunities on my side of the ball. It’s going to be exciting,” Smith said.

But Smith is going to need some help if Iowa is to get its inconsistent offense going in the right direction.

Hillyer has played in every game over the past three seasons, but he’s racked up just three TDs and only two catches more than 20 yards. VandeBerg, who doubles as one of Iowa’s top returners, made his 14 receptions count in 2014 by averaging nearly 22 yards per catch.

Iowa will likely lean on at

No. 2 Halep, No. 4 Wozniacki avoid upset bug at US Open NEW YORK (AP) — Caroline Wozniacki crashed John Isner’s post-match news conference, needling her good friend for arriving late to his interview session and delaying the start of hers.

T h e fourth-seeded Wozniacki was in quite a Williams hurry Tuesday, when she needed just 67 minutes to win at the U.S. Open against an opponent making her Grand Slam debut.

Those sorts of lopsided victories have been rare among the top women so far in the first round.

Of the first 25 seeded players to take the court, nine lost.

Half of the top 10 women are already out, counting third-seeded Maria Sharapova’s withdrawal because of injury.

This comes in a year when the main spectacle is whether Serena Williams can complete the first Grand Slam since Steffi Graf in 1988.

Less than two days into the tournament, fewer and fewer top rivals stand in her way.

Sixth-seeded Lucie Safarova, who pushed Williams to three sets in the French Open final, was upset by 37th-ranked Lesia Tsurenko earlier Tuesday.

She said after losing 6-4, 6-1 that she was bothered by a strained abdominal muscle on her right side that she hurt in

losing the New Haven final Saturday.

Like Wozniacki, second-seeded Simona Halep had no trouble, moving on in 47 minutes on a hot, humid day when Marina Erakovic retired in the second set. Halep was leading 6-2, 3-0.

Wozniacki, last year’s U.S. Open runner-up to Williams, beat NCAA champion Jamie Loeb 6-2, 6-0.

The 20-year-old Loeb earned a wild card into the draw by winning the college title as a sophomore at North Carolina.

Just four seeded women lost in the first round last year.

Since the tournament started seeding 32 players in 2000, the largest number of women’s seeds to fall in the opening round was 10 in 2012.

On the men’s side, second-seeded Roger Federer routed Leonardo Mayer of Argentina 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in a brisk 77 minutes.

The 34th-ranked Mayer had given the 17-time Grand Slam champion trouble in their only previous meeting, when Federer saved five match points to win in three sets last year.

American Donald Young rallied from down two sets and a break to stun 11th-seeded Gilles Simon.

The 68th-ranked Young won 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in 3 hours, 34 minutes with a packed Court 17 urging him on.

least a few younger wide receivers, and the one with the brightest future appears to be Jerminic Smith.

Smith, a freshman, has already earned the fifth spot on the depth chart.

“He has ascended,” Ferentz said. “He has really handled the transition with ease.”

There’s also converted running Jonathan Parker, who forced himself onto the field as a freshman simply because of his speed. Freshmen Jay Scheel and fellow Adrian Falconer also could push for playing time.

Iowa’s hope for an improved offense might hinge on how quickly its receivers catch on.

But they’ve earned the trust of junior quarterback C.J. Beathard, so at least it seems like they’re off to a good start.

“A lot of trustworthy guys out there. Guys that know what they’re doing. They’re not going to mess up any hot (reads) or anything like that,” Beathard said.

The appeal of illusive, unobtainable goals is part of the deal these days with the sun pulling across the sky at Neptune. The opposition of these major players creates such a tension between what we want and what is reasonable that frustration becomes a fixture of the day. It’s something to get used to, the constant craving that’s always been.

and excitement. March will be the beginning of an improvement process that will take all spring. Gemini and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 22, 35 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Things do not always run smoothly for you, but they run right. You’ll be glad about how it all shakes out. The important part is that you believe in life’s process and don’t worry yourself as it’s happening.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Commit your thoughts to paper, even if you’re pretty sure you don’t know what they

are. You probably won’t realize what you think and what you fear until after you’ve written it down.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Say no, and say it often. The more you say no, the more room you’ll have in your future. For you, it takes a conscious effort to stop doing things so you can concentrate on being instead.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There are no perfect relationships. Luckily, the problem in yours is minor and can be effectively handled with a few choice words and the right attitude.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Perform what you practiced.

It’s important to get up in front of people. That experience will teach you what you can’t learn any other way. It doesn’t have to be the best show in the world to be of great value to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

A warm reception for good fortune will attract more of it.

So when you’re paid handsomely for an effort you would have freely given, don’t turn down the money -- just say thank you!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The perfect opportunity will arise to apply yourself. You have skills. You’ve already done the hard learning. Now you just need to relax and let your talent take over.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The creative juices will be flowing strong all around you today, so why not take your problem to the whole team?

Brainstorming in a group will produce some of the most fun you’ve had in a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people will remain clueless even when handed the clue. It’s important that you don’t take it personally.

Go where you feel the most appreciated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). So many rely on you that you are very seldom at the center of your day. However, you can and should make yourself the center of an hour or two.

You deserve it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whoever said two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time hasn’t seen your family at work. A loved one will defy the laws of physics and get very much in your space. You couldn’t be happier about it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You don’t know what you have, and that’s some of the beauty of having it. You’re not self-conscious. You’re giving in ways you don’t understand.

It’s messy and wonderful.
