NHS students protest bigotry Seek respect, understanding

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The objectives of a small group of Newton High School students who gathered for a brief protest Tuesday were simple enough: Replace hate and hate speech with respect and understanding.

None of the signs the students carried in their hour-long protest on a street corner near NHS mentioned the U.S. presidency or president-elect Donald Trump, or protests in other U.S. cities.

The focus of their signs — and the slogans yelled to passing traffic — was

Newton convenience store robbed at gunpoint

Police asking public’s help in identifying suspect

BREAKING NEWS This story first appeared online at www.newtondailynews.com

Authorities are asking the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed a Newton convenience store at gunpoint early Wednesday morning.

The suspect displayed what appeared to be a semi-automatic pistol at store employees and demanded money at New Star, 702 First Ave. E., just before 1 a.m., according to Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess.

The suspect fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money by the time officers arrived. He’s described as a 6-foot 1-inch tall white man, with long dark hair. He was wearing dark clothing with a hooded jacket.

The suspect fled north on foot before getting into a white, older model four-door car

which traveled north from the 100 block of East Seventh Street North.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Newton Police Department at 641-791-0850. More information will be released as the investigation continues.

The suspect faces a first-degree robbery charge, a Class B felony.

“Trump simply revealed another side to an old problem,” NHS senior Megan Shores said. “Now, it’s time to deal with some real issues and promote the values that were taught to us, which includes acceptance of others.”

NHS Principal Bill Peters said several students came up to him or other faculty ahead of time and announced they’d be participating in a peaceful protest, initially described as a “walkout.” He said the students who missed class for the hour of the protest could potentially PROTEST | 3A

Wellness Coalition receives $2,000 for snack program

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton Wellness Coalition is once again furthering its efforts to provide healthy snacks to children in the Newton Community School District. The coalition recently accepted an additional $2,000 grant from Farm Credit Services of America to build on the already successful healthy snack closet program.

The program, which initially started as a way to provide healthy snacks for kindergartners, transformed to include all elementary

aged-children following discussions with teachers in the school district about the needs children have shown. The group also found teachers have even gone as far as purchasing snacks for their classroom when they noticed the children losing focus, in part because of hunger and lack of energy.

It received its first funds through a grant from the citywide parent teacher association for $2,000. Additional funds were also raised

New assessment costs, duration might not be so ‘balanced’ Superintendent passes along concerns about costs, time

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News After postponements and several years of back-and-forth discussion involving Gov. Terry Branstad and many Iowa educators, it looks like the Iowa Assessments will finally be replaced by the Smarter Balanced battery of tests beginning in the 201718 school year.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan used part of Monday’s Newton Community School District

Board of Education meeting on Monday to inform the board about some of the challenges students and teachers will face in implementing the new statewide system.

“This will be an extreme stressor going into 2017-18,” Callaghan said. “About 15 states are already using it. The state (Department of Education) has determined this is the route to go. It’s going to stress everyone, partly because it seems much of the material

won’t be unpacked until July 1.”

Students in grades 3 through 11 will take Iowa Assessments in the spring of 2017, as they have for years. Beginning in the spring of 2018, students will take English and math assessments, with students in the fifth, eighth and 11th grades also taking a science assessment.

One of the major changes will be the amount of time students spend on testing, Callaghan said. While the current math and reading Iowa Assessments take about 45 minutes each, the online Smart-

FBI: Hate crimes against Muslims up by 67 percent Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Volunteers work to load hundreds of shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, a fundraiser to give gifts and supplies to needy children across the world. This year’s fundraiser runs through Monday with shoeboxes available at Bridgehouse Coffee and Choices Christian Book Store.

Operation Christmas Child underway in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News On Monday, area organizations and local citizens began work building and collecting shoeboxes for the annual Operation Christmas Child fundraiser. The annual Christmas project sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse gives community members the opportunity to give a shoebox full of items to children in need around the world.

“The annual Samaritan’s Purse project is a favorite of many Newton residents, families, churches and groups who spread joy to millions of children around the world by filling shoeboxes with a “wow” item — like a doll or soccer ball — other fun toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement,” volunteer Linda Laverman said.

Anyone can drop off a giftfilled shoebox to send to a child overseas. Along with the “wow” item, additional items for the box include the basics — washcloths, soap, pencils, pens, a cup, water bottle and additional toys along with notes of encouragement to round out the box. Those donat-

ing a shoebox can also donate $7 for shipping costs.

National Collection Week runs through Monday. The Newton Christian Reformed Church, 511 S. Fifth Ave. E., will once again serve as the collection site for the project with operating hours from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday and 9 to 11 a.m.

Monday.

Following collection, the boxes are shipped to Des Moines before heading to Minneapolis where the boxes will be sorted and categorized with the story of Jesus placed in the box in the appropriate language. For those boxes that need extra items, many large corporations around the country donate additional items to help fill the boxes. From there, the boxes will be shipped to more than 140 nations around the world arriving at the final destination by boat, donkey or even elephants. This year, the shoeboxes donated from the Newton area will be headed to Mexico and Niger.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed

by Franklin Graham. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has delivered gift-filled shoeboxes to more than 124 million children in more than 150 countries and territories. For many of these children, a gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they have ever received.

“Through the simple act of filling a shoebox, someone in Newton can make a tangible difference in the life of a child halfway around the world,” Laverman said. “Anyone can participate and bring joy to a child facing difficult circumstances.”

Those interested in participating can pick up a shoebox at Bridgehouse Coffee or Choice Christian Book Store or contact Laverman at 641-285-0778.

ATLANTA (AP) — Reported hate crimes against Muslims rose in 2015 to their highest number since the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to FBI statistics released Monday.

Overall, the total number of hate crimes against all groups reported by law enforcement agencies to the FBI increased from 5,479 in 2014 to 5,850 last year. That remains far lower than the numbers seen in the early 2000s, but the FBI release comes amid numerous reports of attacks nationwide based on race and religion following last week’s presidential election.

The most recent reporting covers calendar year 2015, which included the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, as well as Republican Donald Trump’s call for a ban on all Muslims entering the U.S. All of those, however, did not occur until the final two months of the year.

It’s not yet known whether Trump plans to implement such a ban now that he has won the presidency. Critics say his pledge has contributed to anti-Muslim sentiment.

“We’ve seen how words from public figures like Donald Trump translate into violence,” said Mark Potok with the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups in the U.S. Last year, there were 257 reported incidents of anti-Muslim bias compared to 154 the year before, a 67 percent increase. The number of reported hate crimes against Muslims peaked at 481 in 2001.

Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said he was not surprised to see the large increase in 2015 and said he expects the trend to continue.

“We saw a spike in anti-Muslim incidents nationwide beginning toward the end of 2015. That spike has continued until today and even accelerated after the election of President-elect Trump,” Hooper said.

There have been reports of racist and anti-religious incidents around the country since the Nov. 8 election.

Two students at a vocational school in York County, Pennsylvania, held a Donald Trump sign in a hallway as someone shouted “white power,” an incident captured on video and widely shared on Facebook.

In Silver Spring, Maryland, a banner advertising a Spanish-language service at an Episcopal church was slashed and the words “Trump nation.

Whites only” were written on the back.

Authorities on two California State University campuses, in San Diego and San Jose, were investigating reports that two women wearing headscarves were attacked. At San Diego State University, authorities said a Muslim woman had her car keys and vehicle stolen by two men who targeted her while she wore a hijab and made comments about Donald Trump’s election.

At the same time, a videotaped assault in Chicago showed black men beating a white man as onlookers screamed, “You voted Trump!”

On Sunday, Trump said he had not heard reports that some of his supporters might be harassing minorities.

“I am so saddened to hear that,” Trump said during an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes.” ‘’And I say, stop it. If it, if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it.”

“We will follow our normal operating procedures if a student leaves class without permission,” Peters said.

Peters approached the group of about 20 students gathered between classes at the cardinal statue in front of the school, directing them to either head inside and attend class or leave the campus. A handful went inside, while about 15 crossed South Eighth Avenue East to wave and call out slogans to passing vehicles.

At the end of the hour, most of the group went back to the school, while a few walked elsewhere on their own.

Callaghan said the district currently spends about $26,000 on the Iowa Assessments. Estimates for Smarter Balanced, for a district Newton’s size, are between $76,000 and $80,000, he said.

“For the last couple of years, I’ve asked people with decision-making ability to unveil more of the library earlier and pony up the money to fund it, but so far, the state seems hesitant to do so,” Callaghan said.

The greatest story over-told W

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Nov. 16, 2016

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

hen I went to see a recent rehearsal of the Newton High School drama department’s fall production of short Hans Christian Anderson plays, I noticed Winston the dog had managed to get more work as an actor.

Winston had played Toto in NHS’s spring production of “The Wizard of Oz” — one of the greatest stories ever told and retold in American film and literature history.

The recent election season, coupled with the harvest season and a few mentions of the movie, such as an item autographed by actor Jack Haley being a part of the United Way of Jasper County auction, all reminded me of parts of the story. Most of us can relate at least partly

with one or more characters in the film, as it covers so many characteristics and roles in life.

The Cowardly Lion is probably the character I identify with the closest — and not simply because I lack courage (or because actor Bert Lahr) had so many funny lines in the film). The lion struggles with his fears and eventually overcomes those doubts with the help of others, and that feels like a familiar path where I find myself regularly.

The Tin Man is a close second, partly because the band America once sang “Oz never gave a thing to the Tin Man that he didn’t already have.” But the lion’s path goes to further extremes, both in his mind and in the course of his group’s adventures, and he has more of a gradual realization that his fears began mostly in

his little lion mind.

Whether it’s my strength as a journalist, my citizenship or how well I treat others, I should be constantly working to improve, and it’s up to me to face up to my own doubts. It’s not the decision of a man behind a curtain— it’s up to me to decide if I try to help storm the witch’s castle, or run off in panic and leap through a rather expensive-looking stained-glass window.

Another recent event that brought up “The Wizard of Oz” was my mother happening across an old photograph of Judy Garland’s childhood home. She lived part of her childhood in Lancaster, Calif., where our family lived for about 20 years, and it was a treat to pass by and think the lead actress from one of our favorite movies grew up in that house.

We talked about that if anyone could make it out of Lancaster and become a famous Hollywood actress, there was hope for many others. No one in my family became Hollywood-famous — not yet, at least — but we all eventually moved on from Lancaster and have had some

measure of success, so getting out of the desert at least happened for all of us. We conquered our cowardice in that sense.

I might still lack the tenacious or braggadocio of the Coward Lion when he starts trying to pump himself up, and I doubt I’ll boast about tearing a hippopotamus “from top to bottom-us.” However, I run into moments when I crank up old Survivor or Twisted Sister songs and try to get the confidence going.

Conquering fears is not simply a good movie theme or chest-pounding patriotism. It’s an essential component of living in a society where so much emphasis is placed on people trying to bring each other down.

It should be none of my business where others are at on self-esteem, especially if they’re not in competition with me on any level. My concern is maintaining the same willingness to address self-doubt that makes a muskrat guard his musk.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

America’s celebrity class versus flyover country On the Saturday night after Donald Trump’s stunning presidential victory over Hillary Clinton, “Saturday Night Live” decided to forego its mandate — humor — in favor of a full-on political wake. Kate McKinnon, who has done a creditable job mocking Clinton for most of this election cycle, led off the show with a full rendition of the recently deceased Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” There were zero laughs and plenty of delicious, delicious celebrity tears.

McKinnon wasn’t the only one crying. Lady Gaga, who introduced Clinton at her last pre-election rally, apparently wept openly backstage as Clinton lost on election night. So did Cher. Katy Perry was so overcome that she skipped singing the national anthem.

Lena Dunham of “Girls” and bragging-aboutsexually-abusing-her-sister-in-her-memoir fame penned an open letter: “I touched my face and realized I was crying. ‘Can we please go home?’ I said to my boyfriend. I could tell he was having trouble breathing, and I could feel my chin breaking into hives. ... At home I got in the shower and began to cry even harder. My boyfriend, who had already wept, watched me as I mumbled incoherently, clutching myself.”

To put it mildly, bwahahaha. Or less mildly, BWAHAHAHA. The left spent its time during this election cycle lecturing Americans from the Hollywood Hills. It didn’t work. After years of President Barack Obama traipsing into studios in Los Angeles to read mean tweets, after nearly a decade of listening to the sophomoric unearned moral superiority of actors and actresses who earn millions for reading lines other people write, after watching 9/11 truther rappers go to the White House, Americans said no to celebrity culture.

And they did so by electing a celebrity.

The great irony of Trump’s victory is that he was an anti-celebrity celebrity. He had all the perks of celebrity, but he reveled in them. He didn’t try to claim he was a better human being than white middle-class voters in Wisconsin by virtue of living in New York in a penthouse covered in gold leaf. Trump played the everyman on television, and it worked.

Meanwhile, celebrities who didn’t grow up in tremendous wealth hobnobbed with the elites. Singers and actresses taped a “Fight Song” rendition for the Democratic National Convention. Dunham appeared onstage at the convention. Beyonce and Jay-Z campaigned for Clinton. So did Bruce Springsteen. And all of them did so for a woman whose closest contact with flyover country came during a highly choreographed stop at Chipotle.

Americans may never get over their obsession with celebrity. But they sure don’t want to hear those celebrities talk down to them. Hollywood has disconnected itself from rural America, and rural Americans were more than willing to punish Hollywood for that sin. If Democrats hope to win down the road, they’ll have to do better than trotting out the scornful glitterati.

Medicaid modernization is good for Iowa When Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds first announced plans to modernize the state’s Medicaid system, I was on board.

With the second quarter well underway, the success of the program has reinforced my initial predictions. Patient care options have skyrocketed and quality and accessibility have improved. Equally impressive is the unprecedented degrees of transparency modernization efforts have brought to the Medicaid system. There are now more than 1,000 measurable results

tracking the health outcomes of patients. Furthermore, modern technology is finally being used to manage payments and prevent fraud waste and abuse.

In the first quarter alone, this saved more than $318 million.

Medicaid modernization is good for Iowa taxpayers and patients alike. Iowa’s move to managed care is consistent with practices in 39 states and the District of Columbia, and promises to deliver quality care now and into the future.

Booklet gives easy tutorial on how to write a letter

DEAR ABBY: I’m a freshman in college, blessed to have an internship in the office of a nonprofit organization.

As time goes by, and as trust is built, I am being given more responsibilities.

One of them is writing letters for various purposes — thank-you letters, invitations, congratulatory letters, etc.

When I was in high school, I was never taught the format for how to write these kinds of letters. I get confused about spacing and how to address people with titles. It’s a shame that technology has left my generation so clueless on how to do important stuff.

Is there a resource for letter writing available from you? I need it because I feel awkward always having to ask other staff members. — CLUELESS INTERN IN ALGONQUIN, ILL. DEAR INTERN: Judging from the high volume of mail I receive, letter composition is something that many people besides you struggle with.

I publish a booklet called “How to Write Letters for All Occasions,” and among the topics it covers are how to address a senator, member of Congress, clergyperson, etc. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Letters Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Keep it in your desk drawer and dip into it as needed. My letters booklet also contains helpful suggestions for writing letters of congratulations, and letters about difficult subjects to address, such as letters of condolence for the loss of a parent, spouse or child, as well as warm thank-you notes for birthday, shower, wedding and holiday gifts.

My letters booklet provides an assist for anyone who needs a quick and easy tutorial. It has also proven to be particularly helpful for parents to use as a way to easily teach children how to write using proper etiquette.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for four years. I love him deeply, but I have lied to him about certain things. I feel guilty about it, but I can’t bring myself to tell him the truth because he has a temper.

One lie I told was that I was laid off from my previous job, but I really quit. He didn’t want me quitting, but I did it for my own good. I was having a nervous breakdown, and all I felt were negative thoughts when I worked there. Although I found a better job months later, I never summoned up the courage to tell him the truth.

We don’t live together. I’m 24 and he’s 26. Do you think this lack of communication is a reason to break up, or am I being too sensitive about his temper? He doesn’t abuse me, but he won’t talk to me if he doesn’t have things his way. — UNSURE IN THE WEST DEAR UNSURE: I’m glad you’re not living together because if you were, your problem would have serious ramifications. Your boyfriend may not be physically abusive, but he IS controlling. Subjecting you to the silent treatment is emotionally abusive, and so was deciding “for” you that you should remain at a job that’s stressful and unpleasant.

You may love this man deeply, but from my perspective the relationship isn’t a healthy one. If you want to end it, you are justified.

Woman dies after Monday house fire in Ames AMES — Authorities say a 72-year-old woman has died from her injuries received in a house fire in Ames. The city issued a news release Tuesday saying that Joanna Alexander died in the house fire reported around 10 a.m. Monday. Fire investigators say the fire was accidental and was believed to have started near a chair in the living room. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Upon arrival, firefighters noted smoke coming from the house and quickly worked to pull Alexander from the home.

3 Iowa City moving ahead with pedestrian mall project

IOWA CITY — Officials in Iowa City are getting started on an estimated $8 million renovation of the downtown pedestrian mall. The city council on Tuesday night hired an engineering firm that will spend most of 2017 planning the improvements.

Construction is expected to begin in 2018.

That will include underground work to replace electrical components and buried pipe as well as above-ground work to rework brick walkways, replace planters and add an elevated stage.

DES MOINES — A group of drivers facing tickets issued by Iowa Transportation Department officers want a judge to order the agency to stop issuing those citations.

The group filed a motion Tuesday asking for an injunction.

The drivers are trying to capitalize on a ruling last month where a Polk County judge said the agency didn’t have authority to enforce most moving violations. That ruling came in the case of 16-year-old Peyton Atzen who was fighting a speeding ticket.

5 City developing plans to allow backyard chickens

DAVENPORT — Davenport residents aren’t allowed to keep backyard chickens, but that could change in the coming months as officials craft a new ordinance.

Community Planning and Economic Development Director Bruce Berger presented the City Council with a draft ordinance Tuesday that was modeled off laws in Rock Island, Ill. and Cedar Rapids.

Chicken owners would have to pay a fee.

Pipeline company seeks federal court OK to proceed CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The company building the $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline has asked a federal judge’s permission to circumvent President Barack Obama’s administration and move ahead with a disputed section of the project in North Dakota, as opponents held protests across the country against the pipeline.

Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners and a subsidiary asked the court on Tuesday to let them lay pipe under a Missouri River reservoir, a plan the Standing Rock Sioux tribe says threatens its drinking water and cultural sites.

The Army Corps of Engineers said Monday it needs more time to study the impact of the plan.

While President-elect Donald Trump, a pipeline supporter, likely would greenlight the project when he takes office in January, the company is trying to win federal approval — or a court order — to allow it to go forward sooner. The delay has already cost nearly $100 million, the company said in court documents, “and further delay in the consideration of this case would add millions of dollars more each month in costs which cannot be recovered.”

In a statement Tuesday, the company blamed the Obama administration for “political interference” in the pipeline review process.

The Army Corps referred a request for comment to the Justice Department, which declined comment.

Protests were being held Tuesday across the country, from California to Vermont. Activists called

for demonstrations at Army Corps of Engineers offices and at banks financing the pipeline construction.

More than two dozen people were arrested near Mandan, North Dakota, after a group of about 400 protesters put a truck and tree branches on BNSF Railway tracks near a pipeline work staging area and tried to set it on fire, Morton County sheriff ’s spokesman Rob Keller said.

“They had a rope soaked with kerosene,” he said. “A (Highway Patrol) trooper with an extinguisher doused it so it wouldn’t light.”

Trains were delayed three hours, railroad spokeswoman Amy McBeth said. Officers in riot gear used pepper spray and

in one instance a stun gun against protesters who refused to leave.

Mandan is about 50 miles north of a camp where hundreds of protesters have gathered in recent months to oppose the pipeline. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental attorney and president of the New York-based Waterkeeper Alliance, which seeks to protect watersheds worldwide, visited the camp Tuesday, speaking out against the arrests of protesters and a project he says will benefit billionaires and not the American people.

“What they are doing here is a crime, an environmental crime, and there are real victims,” he said.

Iowa lawmaker to colleges: ‘Suck it up, buttercup’ DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa lawmaker plans to introduce what he calls the “suck it up, buttercup bill” to cut budgets at public universities that spend extra money on students upset about the presidential election.

Republican Rep. Bobby Kaufmann said the proposed legislation would target schools using taxpayer dollars to fund election-related sitins and grief counseling above and beyond what is normally available to students. He said the bill will also call for creating new penalties for protesters who block highways.

“I’ve seen four or five schools in other states that are establishing ‘cry zones’ where they’re staffed by state grief counselors and kids and come cry out their sensitivity to the election results,” Kaufmann said.

“I find this whole hysteria to be incredibly annoying. People have the right to be hysterical ... on their own time.”

Iowa’s public four-year universities say no such money has been spent.

Students and faculty at Iowa State University held a rally, and student groups at the University of Iowa held their own events, according to the schools, which said no

e x t r a f unding was used for the events.

At the Un i v e rsity of Northern Iowa, Kaufmann students and faculty gathered at three sessions to discuss the election and their fears, but university spokesman Scott Ketelsen said no money was spent on those sessions.

“This election was somewhat unique,” Ketelsen said. “It wasn’t like previous elections, so the response wasn’t like previous elections.

And that’s OK. But people have to be able to sit down and have open dialogue and honest communication with one another.”

Protests haven’t been limited to college campuses in Iowa. More than 100 protesters shut down Interstate 80 in Iowa City for about a half hour on Friday night.

Iowa State Patrol spokesman Sgt. Nathan Ludwig said troopers quickly cleared the Friday protest, but he said the event could have posed a threat to public safety.

Woman gets up to 20 years in prison for killing boyfriend DES MOINES (AP)— A Des Moines woman who shot and killed her 69-year-old boyfriend in 2014 will spend up to 20 years in prison.

Kerry: Obama’s climate change targets won’t be reversed MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made a stirring appeal Wednesday to all countries — including his own — to press ahead with the fight against climate change, saying a failure to do so would be a “betrayal of devastating consequences.”

Without mentioning Donald Trump by name, Kerry’s speech at the U.N. climate talks was partly aimed at the Republican president-elect who has called global warming a “hoax” and has pledged to “cancel” the Paris deal limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

“No one has the right to make decisions that affect billions of people based solely on ideology or without proper input,” Kerry said.

The U.S. election outcome has created deep uncertainty about the U.S. role in international climate talks — and about the Paris Agreement adopted last year by more than 190 countries. But Kerry said the U.S. was already in the midst of a clean energy transition that would continue regardless of policy-making.

“I can tell you with confidence that the United States is right now today on our way to meeting all of the international targets we have set,” Kerry said. “Because of the market decisions that are being made, I do not believe that that can or will be reversed.”

The Obama administration pledged during the Paris negotiations to reduce U.S. emissions by DINOSAURS

26-28 percent from 2005 levels by 2025.

Kerry said an “overwhelming majority” of Americans know that climate change is happening and support the U.S. commitments under the Paris deal.

Falling short in the fight against climate change would be a “moral failure, a betrayal of devastating consequences,” he said.

Eleven Raiders earn all-district recognition

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter football team had high expectations coming into the 2016 season.

Too many turnovers and penalties forced the Raiders to get off to a slow start, and CMB never fully recovered.

The Raiders lost their first three games before winning four of their final contests to rally for a third-place district finish.

The Class 2A District 3 finish helped CMB place six players on the all-district first team. Three other players earned second-team honors and two more were honorable mention selections.

Leading the way for the Raiders in 2016 was senior Blake Coughenour, who rushed for 1,240 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Coughenour earned firstteam honors as a running back but also played a big role in the passing game with 25 catches for 406 yards and three TDs. Paving the way for Coughenour and the Raiders offense were offensive linemen Will Clapper, Archer McFadden, Jason Hillgren and Toren Schultheis.

That foursome helped the Raiders rush for 1,643 yards this season.

All four players earned all-district recognition. Clapper was a first-team offensive linemen, while McFadden earned first-team honors on the defensive line and Hillgren was a first-team linebacker. Schultheis earned honors on the second team as an offensive linemen.

The rest of the first-team honorees included tight end Brady Kemp and Hunter McWhirter, who made the squad as a utility player.

Joining Schultheis on the second team were wide receiver Tucker Maxwell and defensive back Ben Gunderson.

The honorable mention players were juniors Braydon Aker and Travis Lindemoen.

Eleven Raiders earned academic all-district honors.

That list included Maxwell, Coughenour, Gunderson, Kemp, Schultheis, Aker, and seniors Creighton Caple, Jack Cheville, Zach Schafer, Caleb Van Zante and Micah Bundy.

catches for 231 yards and a touchdown.

The Raiders used two quarterbacks all season long.

McWhirter and Aker shared time under center.

McWhirter, a senior, finished with 718 passing yards and five TDs and also rushed for 159 yards.

Aker, a junior, threw for 746 yards and seven touchdowns while also rushing for

175 yards and two scores.

McFadden, a senior who earned allstate honors last year, had 17.5 tackles, six tackles for loss and three Lindemoen sacks on defense, while Hillgren, a senior, led the defense with 52.5 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and four sacks.

Schultheis, another senior who plays both ways, finished with 17 tackles, three tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries on defense.

Gunderson, a senior, was third on the team in tackles with 39 and he also tallied a fumble recovery and an interception.

District champion DikeNew Hartford finished its season in the UNI-Dome with a 2A semifinal loss to Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley.

The Wolverines finished 7-0 in league play and 9-3 overall. Roland-Story was 6-1 in league play and 8-2 overall.

Prairie City-Monroe eliminated the Norse in the playoffs before Dike-New Hartford ousted PCM one round later.

No. 7 Kansas beats No. 1 Duke on late jumper

NEW YORK (AP) — Frank Mason III hit a short jumper with 1.3 seconds to play to give No. 7 Kansas a 77-75 victory over No. 1 Duke on Tuesday night in the State Farm Champions Classic.

The Jayhawks (1-1) beat a top-ranked team for the eighth time and this one looked a lot easier with 8 minutes to play and Kansas leading 62-50.

But the Blue Devils (2-1), despite a terrible shooting game by Grayson Allen, the leading vote-getter on The Associated Press’ preseason All-America team, managed to suddenly start hitting shots and they tied the game at 75 with 15 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Frank Jackson..

Kansas called a timeout with 8.2 seconds left and set up the game-winner.

Mason led Kansas with 21 points and freshman Josh Jackson added 15 and Devonte’ Graham had 13.

Luke Kennard led five Duke players in double figures with 22. Allen finished with 12 points on 4-for-15 shooting, including 1 of from 3-point range.

scored 23 points on 7-for-11 shooting from 3-point range, and Isaiah Briscoe added 21 to lead No. 2 Kentucky to a victory over Michigan State

in the State Farm Champions Classic.

The Wildcats (3-0) averaged 90 points in their first two games but this time it was

defense that did it as the Spartans (0-2) shot 32.8 percent from the field (20 of 61) including 5 for 26 (19.2 percent) from beyond the arc.

Relying on another talented freshman class, Kentucky was able to up the tempo enough and keep the tenacious defense going that the Spartans committed 21 turnovers which the Wildcats turned into 24 points.

Kenny Goins and Cassius Winston led the Spartans with nine points each. Freshman Miles Bridges was held to six points on 2-for-11 shooting but he grabbed 12 rebounds.

Baylor 66, No. 4 Oregon 49 WACO, Texas — Johnathan Motley scored 17 points in his season debut and Baylor got a big early-season victory over the Oregon team playing without its preseason All-American.

The Ducks (1-1) are missing Dillon Brooks, their 6-foot-7 junior forward who was their leading scorer last season but is still recovering from foot surgery during the offseason.

Motley missed the season opener for Baylor (2-0) because of a one-game suspen-

sion after violating an NCAA rule by playing in an improper summer league game.

The Ducks (1-1) quickly had a 3-0 lead when Chris Boucher hit from long range on the game’s first shot, before they missed their next six shots. After Motley made his first shot of the season and Manu Lecomte’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer, Baylor never trailed again.

Dylan Ennis led Oregon with 16 points, and Boucher finished with 12. Jordan Bell had 11 rebounds.

No. 5 North Carolina 93, Long Beach State 67 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Joel Berry II scored 23 points and North Carolina shot 53 percent to beat Long Beach State.

Kennedy Meeks added 15 points for the Tar Heels (3-0), who scored the game’s first 14 points and led by 23 points by halftime. That dominating start was enough to erase any doubt about the outcome, though Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams was aggravated enough at one sloppy second-half stretch that he angrily punched a clipboard to the court during a timeout.

Cyclones turn away the Panther women for home win Newton Daily News AMES — Iowa State’s senior duo of Jadda Buckley and Seanna Johnson guided the Cyclones to a 76-68 victory over the University of Northern Iowa Tuesday night at Hilton Coliseum.

The win moves the Cyclones to 2-0 on the season, while the Panthers suffered their first loss to drop to 1-1.

Buckley led all scorers with 25 points, her fourth career game over 20 points, while Johnson posted 15 points and a career-best 18 rebounds. Bridget Carleton joined the duo in double figures with 14.

Both teams struggled to put the ball in the basket, as neither team could muster a shooting percentage above 35 percent early in the game. The Cyclones took an 8-5 lead on a Carleton 3-pointer, which the Cyclones were able push to 17-11 on the first basket of the second quarter by Adriana Camber. The Panthers fought back to 19-19

on a 3-pointer from Angie Davison.

It served as a wake-up call for the home team, which used a 7-2 run to get back ahead 26-21 on a TeeTee Starks free throw.

The lead moved up to 3123 on another Camber 3-pointer, but the Panthers were able to cut the advantage back down to four, 34-30, on a bucket from Hannah Schonhardt.

A 3-pointer from Carleton opened the third quarter on a strong note for ISU, but the Panthers were able to battle to a tie score again at 43-43 when Schonhardt made another basket. The game’s critical run came at 45-45, when the Cyclones went on a 9-2 run to close third quarter, making 6-of-6 from the charity stripe to be ahead 54-47 at the quarter break.

From there, ISU was able to guide it home, bumping up the advantage to as many as 10 points at 61-51. UNI made a push back with back-to-back 3-pointers by Schonhardt and Mikaela Morgan

Schonhardt chipped in a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds while Davison scored a career-high 12 points. Ellie Herzberg rounded out UNI’s double-digit scorers with 12 of her own.

The sensual Taurus moon focuses on our experience of luxury. Taurus is the sign both of money and appetite, and those two things will swirl together to create a deep wanting for sensory satisfaction. The fact that this is also a full moon and a supermoon turns the wanting to desire or even obsession, at least for one night.

not to mention more fun and empowering.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Hot water is only one of the things that keeps you clean.

Oxygen to the brain caused by exercise and by people who make you laugh will also be part of today’s purification process.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Because good manners have been so engrained in you, you often respond to the cue to say “thank you” before you start to feel grateful for something.

Today you’ll touch someone with your genuine expression of gratitude.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Part of your charm is that you always think of something kind to say,

though at times like this the circumstances make it more challenging. “I’ve had a perfectly lovely evening. But this wasn’t it.” -- Groucho Marx VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Sin is when a person knows it’s wrong but does it anyway. When a person doesn’t know better, that’s not sin; it’s ignorance. It’s not appropriate to punish ignorance with anything other than knowledge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Show your love when it’s happening, when it’s welling up in your heart. Don’t hold back. Don’t be afraid. When you treat the present like it’s all you have, it will also be all you need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When you exceed expectations and make people smile, you derive such pleasure from this!

It’s become something of a game to you. The only thing is, in order to create the desired effect, you have to keep doing more and more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). With a stranger you can be whoever you want to be. You can stay true to who you’ve been, or you can branch out and try something new. You have fun with this today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re remarkable because you dare to reach. If you strive for Neptune or Alpha Centauri and you land on Europa instead, well, you’re

still a world away from where you were.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The limit-testers in your life seem to take pleasure in testing yours and then watching your reaction. Try this: Don’t react.

People usually stop pushing the button that appears not to be working.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Since the only constant is change, learning to deal with it calmly will help you conserve your energy and stay powerful.

Practice is the only way. Keep riding the changes with as little resistance as possible.
