Des Moines woman, 13-year-old killed in I-80 rollover

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton Community School District reconfiguration for the 2016-17 school year took another step forward Tuesday night — and dozens of community members were directly involved.

Seven groups of about seven people each were able to draw on maps of the school district, supplied by consulting firm RSP & Associates, to suggest boundaries and guidelines for the four elementary schools the district will have next year. The maps were supplied as part of a public input forum, held in the Berg Middle School cafeteria.

A Newton man is charged with attempted murder after allegedly assaulting a female victim with a hammer.

Jasper County Sheriff ’s Stone deputies were called to a residence in the 2800 block of West Highway F48 at 10:30 p.m. Monday night regarding a domestic disturbance. There, they determined Abraham Stone, 33, of Newton, had struck a female victim with a hammer

and choked her. The victim suffered only minor injuries.

Stone was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail, where he is being held on a $50,000 bond.

In addition to the attempted murder charge, which is a Class B felony, Stone was also charged with going armed with intent, a Class D felony, and domestic abuse assault with intent to inflict serious injury, an aggravated misdemeanor.

The sheriff ’s office did not release any other information, including the age of the victim.

A 30-year-old Des Moines woman and her 13-year-old daughter were killed in a crash on Interstate 80 east of Newton on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the Iowa State Patrol, Sabrina Watkins, 30, and Natasha Watkins, 13, both of Des Moines, were killed when the 2003 GMC Envoy they

were in slid off the westbound side of I-80 and rolled into the north ditch.

The single-vehicle crash happened at about 12:27 p.m. near mile marker 169 — just east of exit 168, which is Iowa Speedway Drive.

Downtown business owner wants Thunder Nites moved

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Downtown business owner and recently elected city council member Jeremy Biondi requested Thunder Nites bike night move from its current location in downtown during Monday’s council meeting.

Biondi, owner of Moo’s BBQ, explained to the council the loss he is taking both in sales and from clean up during the monthly event.

“During the past few years, as a business owner on the square, business on bike night has been five to 25 percent

lower than normal Friday nights. I have spent additional money on repairs due to the influx on non-paying bike night customers,” Biondi said.

He also said within the last year, three intoxicated people have vomited inside of his business.

“That takes me an average of four to six hours to clean up that smell.

I have to bleach everything,” Biondi said.

Biondi said he is not alone in feeling the event should relocate, saying he has spoken to other business owners on the square who have much greater losses than

what his business has.

He suggested moving the event west to the DMACC parking lot as an alternative.

“I feel bike night is great for Newton but the square is not the place to have it,” Biondi said.

Biondi said this issue alone was not a motivating factor for him to run for council. He said he knows a lot of the small business owners have frustration with what is happening in the first ward district.

As for his timing, Biondi said he wanted to bring it to the council before he was a sitting member and to give

Youth participate in ‘Homeless on the Cold, Hard Cement’ Newton Daily News United Presbyterian Church youth, seventh through 12th grade, experienced a night of “Homeless on the Cold, Hard Cement” on Nov. 13 in the United Presbyterian Church parking lot in Newton.

The night began with a guest speaker who shared his firsthand experience of surviving homelessness. The youth then constructed their own shelters out of cardboard and slept in the cold temperatures to achieve their own understanding of what it is like to sleep without the comfort of

their own warm bed.

A hot breakfast was served the following morning courtesy of church parents. In addition to the overnighter, the youth collected blankets from United Presbyterian Church and friends at First United Methodist Church to be donated to Salvation Army.

Special thanks to the following event chaperones and supporters: Gordon and Beth Brand, Duane, Joy and Morgan Daniels, the Rev.

Annual UMW cookie and candy sale set

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News If you have a sweet tooth mark Dec. 5 on your calender for the annual United Methodist Women’s Cookie, Candy and Craft Walk.

Open from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the church, 210 N. Second Ave. E., community members, friends and anyone who likes goodies is invited to peruse the tables full of sweets and crafts and help out a worthy organization.

“People come, pick up containers, walk around and pick up what they want. Then they pay for the goodies by the pound,” event organizer Tori Reynolds said. “Some people buy a few and some people buy a lot.”

Also available are a variety of nuts the group has been selling throughout the month of November. Nuts are available

in harvest medley mix, black walnuts, light walnuts, mixed nuts, pecan halves, pecan pieces, pistachios, whole cashews, almonds, milk chocolate pecans, milk chocolate almonds, dark chocolate bridge mix, milk chocolate bridge mix, tropical blend, apricots, dark chocolate cranberries, fruit and nut mix and many more.

“It involves the effort of almost the entire membership of the United Methodist Women,” Reynolds said. “Also, there are people that are not a part of the organization who donate to items for the fundraiser.”

Along with the treats, a variety of crafts will be on hand for purchase including craves, unique lapel pins, bracelets, necklaces and wreaths among other items. A special item for sale will be plants.

“One of us is quite a gardener and she is dividing some plants that have become too

big to be sold,” Reynolds said.

All funds from the event will go toward work the UMW does with a mission close to home and abroad.

“The UMW universally raises funds to support women and children who are in desperate situations in developing nations and poor countries. Just in the state of Iowa we have several projects that we fund,” Reynolds said.

Goodwill Riverside, a mission in Des Moines and Hawthorne Hill, a shelter for women are a couple of the causes the funds go toward in the central Iowa area.

“It is all used for helping others,” Reynolds said.

Israel bans Islamist party JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Tuesday outlawed an Islamist group accused of inciting violence among the country’s Arab citizens, accusing it of fueling a deadly two-month escalation.

The move — Israel’s latest step aimed at stamping out the violent escalation — threatened to worsen already strained relations with the country’s Arab minority. Arab leaders condemned the decision.

The Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement of Israel, which provides religious and educational services for Israeli Arabs, routinely accuses Israel of trying to take over a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, a charge Israel denies. The site is at the heart of the latest surge in Israeli-Palestinian violence.

The government announced early Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Security Cabinet had approved the widely expected measure.

Israeli politicians have repeatedly called for the ban since the violence erupted in mid-September.

“We will continue to act against those who incite and who encourage terrorism, wherever they are,” Netanyahu said.

After the decision, police closed 17 organizations affiliated with the party searched more than a dozen of their offices, seizing computers, files and funds.

Internationally acclaimed trombone quartet comes to Newton Monday Newton Daily News Maniacal4 is a group of four great musicians, telling one unified, inspiring musical story after another. Hailed as “a force to be reckoned with,” the trombone quartet has performed on three continents, entertaining audiences with a wide range of styles and time periods.

Newton will be the next top by this spectacular group of young men, as they take the stage here at the Newton High School Centre for Performance starting at 7 p.m. Monday.

This performance is sponsored by the Jasper County Concert Association, as part of its current series of concerts.

Trained at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas — one of the premier jazz schools in the United States — these four outstanding musicians have the goods to become one of the

and businesses come here, my business will be better in the long run and that is what I really feel was designed about Thunder Nites — it was to showcase the downtown square.”

O’Brien explained event organizers had already made concessions to the theater, moving it away from that business toward the west side of the square. He said if it moved away from the downtown, it defeats the purpose of showing off what Newton has to offer.

“Every other community does it around

He said that he does not want to hurt any other business, but that it is five Fridays a year to showcase Newton.

“I think it is very important,” O’Brien said.

Mayor Mike Hansen said the conversation about the location

of Thunder Nites would continue at another meeting.

Just more than a week ago, the Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved O’Brien and Thunder Nites to continue using the Jasper County Courthouse lawn. The event is set to take place the second Friday of each month running from May through September.

Forum Continued from Page 1A “Repeat after me: There is no plan,” said Schwarz in reiterating that all wok done so far on school boundaries is a work in progress. RSP & Associates has been hired by Newton Schools to crunch census data, city planning information and other material to help advise the district on boundaries for the school years ahead.

The firm plans to return to Newton for a follow-up public forum on Dec. 10, when it will present proposed boundaries based on Tuesday’s suggestions at other factors. The target enrollment for each of the four K-4 schools will be 275 students.

Several teams, upon presenting their suggestions, pointed out that they didn’t want students crossing First Avenue as part of either walking or busing to school. Another suggested hard line for dividing school districts suggested were the railroad tracks that run through town.

There were several mentions of the Kellogg area and other rural parts of the county that are in the Newton district. Interstate 80 won’t be used for busing, and there was discussion about whether it would be better to have rural students attend the campus in the quadrant of town more accessible, or if all out-of-city students should simply attend one campus.

All seven school board members were also at the forum.

One parent who participated, Brad Karsten, has a first-grader this year and two younger children who will be in Newton Schools soon. He said he’d never been a part of a project like Tuesday’s forum.

“I think it’s good that people are getting involved,” Karsten said. “And I think it’s good that the school board is hearing this kind of feedback.”

The Bucs stop, with a better product

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Nov. 18, 2015

Some of the online reviews for Buccaneer Arena say the home of Des Moines’ junior hockey outline the characteristics of the facility and the games accurately.

“Old and smelly, with poor sound quality, benches instead of seats; mold everywhere, bathrooms full of spider webs,” the reviews say. “Not enough trash cans for the public to use, and the cleaning crew missed a bunch of trash” and “I’m surprised the rats aren’t out playing hockey on the ice.”

Yet somehow, hockey fans feel those are all negative characteristics, and all the reviewers, to my surprise, said they won’t be back.

Those are exactly the attributes that were positive points to me when I visited the arena for the first time on Nov. 6. I was reminded of what sort of sports fan I really am.

Having been to our second Iowa Wild game the week prior, my girlfriend Jacqui and I appreciate the product the Wild and Wells Fargo Arena choose

to produce. It would be surprising if the Wild were to have tried to re-create the Buccaneer Arena experience, considering the difference in age and size of the venues; they have different target markets.

Jacqui and I discovered we are a part of the Buccaneers market.

She didn’t care for a few of the conditions, such as the long, narrow rows of benches or beersoaked floorboards. Clearly, we’ve been spoiled by some of the newer venues we’ve visited over the past few years.

However, there is an oldschool and rugged appeal to Bucs home games that seem natural and authentic in both heartwarming and invigorating ways. From the Buccaneer- and pirate-themed everything to the low glass along the sides and seats two inches from the players, the atmosphere is close to being how hockey was meant to be viewed.

I grew up less than 15 miles from the home arena of the NHL’s Washington Capitals.

While there were some bigtime elements to the arena, and it seated more than 18,000, it was kind of a down-home, oldschool, rowdy place to watch a game — especially when certain opponents were in town.

Most Capitals fans not only knew all of their team’s history and current lineup — which included Rod Langway, one of the last men to play professional hockey without a helmet — they also knew all of opposing teams’ players. This was especially true of opponents who shared the Patrick Division with the Caps.

Extra security had to be on hand whenever the Philadelphia Flyers or New York Islanders came to town. The Islanders were on top of the world in those days, winning four consecutive Stanley cups, so there was always a full house and tension, while Flyer fans seem to want to fight everyone, regardless.

Later, when I learned about how minor-league hockey existed, I was able to go to some

converted livestock arenas and other places where a rink had been added as an afterthought.

That’s not quite a description of Buccaneer Arena, but there is definitely an older feel and a simplistic, rough feeling that is close to what hockey is all about.

Jacqui’s favorite part was how a few young boys sitting near us constantly berated the visiting team (the Fargo Force, which pounded the Bucs, 7-1, on the night we went). One of them was edgy enough to even lambast the Bucs for not hustling to the puck, and yet still lit up like Christmas morning when he got to ride on the Zamboni in between periods.

There are plenty of great ways to enjoy a sporting event.

For Iowa newcomers, the Des Moines Buccaneers have a raw, unrefined product that captivates and entertains.

American Conservative

It is not un-American to prefer Christian refugees

Letter to the Editor

Newton events bring families together Kelly Zach Sarah Carry and family Darrin and Jennifer Nunnikhoven family Newton I have been and will always be a cheerleader for the community, as I have made this community my true hometown.

So let me continue to cheer for our community agencies, and individual community groups.

The past weekend I attended two community events. The first one on Friday night, is of course, close to my heart. The Salvation Army and their officers, Majors Jeff and Mikey Carter and the Quilting Group held their annual Quilt and Basket Auction, and Chicken and Noodle Supper. This was a very amazing event this year, with many guests who raised money for the many Salvation Army yearly programs,

and to be able to serve many Jasper County citizens in need of basic human needs. The comforting meal, only added warmth and comfort in a beautiful chapel and fellowship hall in a comforting way to know people who truly care for the mission of The Salvation Army of Newton and the partnering agencies.

Saturday night, my family and I were lucky enough to be able to attend the Knights of Columbus Turkey Bingo and to be as silly and obnoxious as every one else. This is a fun event, that has grown considerably within a few years. My heart truly warmed up once again for our community when they announced proceeds from the Annual Turkey and Annual Ham Bingo goes to many purposes in the community including: Purchasing winter coats for the community schools to give to children who may need a heavy, warm coat and many other commu-

nity needs. It was also fun to see all age adults, hundreds of children who enjoy an old fashion game like Bingo as a family to bring so many laughs and memories as a family without electronics, and technology of a finger closing a slide on a Bingo card and an eye to watch for the numbers.

I continue to applaud anything in our community that brings families together, and memories to be made. We have wonderful representation for our community groups, and they are concentrating on the true needs of our community and the growth of our community and the health and welfare of the community, as a whole.

We are ready for the holiday events, as a family, and will continue to cheer our community and the City of Newton with good words and thank yous and not negativity. Peace to everyone!

On Friday, Muslim terrorists murdered 129 people in Paris. At least o n e of the I S I S perpetrators apparently entered E u rope as a “refu g e e ” By Ben Shapiro f r o m Syria — he was found with a refugee ID. ISIS has already claimed they have infiltrated the Syrian refugee population to the tune of thousands of terrorists.

On Monday, President Obama announced that it would be purely un-American for Westerners to ban unvetted Muslim immigrants from the Middle East while allowing Christian targets of genocide to enter the West.

He called such an idea “shameful,” while passionately calling for Americans to “open our hearts” to more refugees. He praised bordering countries Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon for taking in hundreds of thousands of refugees; Obama said that showed their “belief in a common humanity.” He added, “And so we have to, each of us, do our part. And the United States has to step up and do its part. And when I hear folks say that, well, maybe we should just admit the Christians but not the Muslims ...That’s not American.

That’s not who we are.”

Every aspect of this little speech is wrong.

Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon aren’t taking in Muslim refugees out of some great commitment to common humanity.

They’re doing so because their other choice involves setting up fences and machine guns to stop the waves of refugees crossing their frontiers. And as we know, Muslim countries have

a rotten history of absorbing fellow members of their ummah: For 70 years, since the creation of the State of Israel, tens of thousands of Palestinian Arabs have lived in refugee camps located in Muslim lands.

By contrast, the State of Israel has taken in every Jewish refugee seeking asylum, from Russian emigres to Moroccan immigrants, from Ethiopian refugees to Syrian expatriates.

And the West has good reason for skepticism toward Muslim refugees. While Muslim refugees who stay in the Middle East split evenly between males and females, the vast majority of refugees entering Europe are males of fighting age. Muslim immigration has already led to massive increases in crime from France to Sweden, and cultural fragmentation from Great Britain to Austria.

Terrorism is only the latest threat — and even that threat is obviously not exaggerated. Vetting refugees from Syria is nearly impossible given its status as a failed state.

Vetting Muslim refugees is totally impossible given the fact that radical Muslims can easily masquerade as less-radical Muslims.

So why does President Obama, along with the global left, seek more Muslim immigration? Because President Obama does not believe that Islam, as a religious philosophy, presents any threat to the West. He believes that radical Islam doesn’t exist. It’s merely the hallmark of global poverty, probably affected negatively by climate change; if the West redistributed its wealth, ceased its “colonial” attitudes toward the Middle East, all would be well. The materialism of Marxism would win the day.

Woman’s vow of celibacy is tested by her friends DEAR ABBY: I am a 28-yearold woman who has decided, after 11 years and 50-plus partners, to become celibate. A couple of friends have attempted to get me to break my vow.

These men know how they make me feel, and I am finding it difficult to stay away from them. Although I have stopped spending time with them, I still feel the urge to be with them.

So, do you have any advice on how to stay strong? It’s been one month, and I plan on staying this way until I get married. — TRYING TO STAY CELIBATE DEAR TRYING: Old habits are hard to break, but as you already know, it can be done. An effective way to do that is to replace the habit you’re trying to change with some other activity. Right now, it’s important for you stay busy.

Consider increasing the amount of exercise you do each day, doing projects around your home, filling your time by volunteering, etc. If you do, you’ll have less time to dwell on what you’re “missing.” This is not to say that your sex drive will go away, but it will help you to better control it.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend’s son, “Matt,” just turned 21, but he looks 16. He has just announced that he’s moving in with a 50-year-old woman — the mother of a friend of his.

I feel very uncomfortable about the idea of welcoming her into my home and making conversation as if they are a normal couple. His father and I are the woman’s age. I don’t believe Matt has told his mom or his siblings yet. He’s quickly losing friends over this awkward situation.

I’m usually of the mindset to “live and let live,” but here I am tested. It feels creepy. What is the proper way to handle this? — UNEASY IN

CALIFORNIA DEAR UNEASY: Handle this by withholding judgment and waiting to see how the romance plays out. Matt may look 16, but at 21 he’s an adult and capable of making his own decisions about his love life without “help” from his father’s girlfriend. Matt’s lady friend may be a very young 50 and Matt may be a mature 21. Having met neither of them, I can’t judge.

And neither should you, so stay out of the line of fire, or the romance that suffers may be your own.

DEAR ABBY: Last week a girl I knew in high school 10 years ago had a surprise baby. She went to the ER with stomach cramps and found out she was in labor. Mom and baby are doing fine, but now they are throwing an “emergency baby shower.”

I rarely speak to this girl. Why should I be expected to get a baby shower gift for her? — MYSTIFIED IN MICHIGAN DEAR MYSTIFIED: The baby shower is being given because your old high school chum needs things for the child she wasn’t expecting but who arrived anyway. Should you be “expected” to provide a gift? No. But if you did, it would be both generous and kind of you, and I can guarantee that it would be sincerely appreciated.

The program applies for funding every two years and in the past has received the funds requested. Van Manen said she thinks the program will receive the same funds as the last cycle, $3,000 less than she requested.

Jasper County has a strong history of supporting the Elderly Nutrition program. In the past five and a half years, the program has never turned down an eligible client due to budget restraints.

Along with federal

and local funding, the group also does fundraisers and accepts donations.

Meals are served in Newton, Colfax and Monroe at 11:30 a.m.

Monday through Friday. Home delivered meals are available for eligible residents in all Jasper County communities.

Services are also offered on the weekends, holidays and shelf stable meals for emergencies.

The services are available for Jasper County residents 60 years or older, along with their spouse. The

spouse is not required to be 60 years old.

There is no charge for the meals. Food stamps are also accepted as payment.

Elderly Nutrition delivers to eligible clients at their location within the county. They also work with the Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency to transport congregate meals to sites if that option works for the client.

Currently, 35 percent of the program’s clients are rural.

Locations annouced Local 4-H members receive awards for Tour of Homes Newton Daily News The 2015 Newton Tour of Homes will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 5.

On the tour this year are five homes with a wide range of architectural styles and unique features. The annual tour is a fundraiser for the Newton Dollars for Scholars program, which provides thousands of dollars in scholarships to local seniors every year. Tickets are $10 per person and are available at the Newton Chamber of Commerce office, local banks and at each home on the day of the tour.

Three homes are featured in the southwest area of Newton. The 1940 home of Ginny Blattert, 915 S. Sixth Ave. W., will showcase recent renovations, such as opening up the floor plan and modernizing bathrooms with such features as in-floor heating.

The 1960 “French farm house” style home of Dr. and Mrs. Jon Fudge, 1100 S. Sixth Ave. W., also has recent renovations to the kitchen and floors but many original features. Look for the green marble fireplace surround rescued from the Maytag company’s office building in downtown.

The 1937 home of Kathy Ventling, 715 W. 9th St. S., saw many local businesses helping to complete recent renovations to the interior and kitchen, but also contains many window treatments, pillows and other items custom-made by Kathy herself.

The Mr. and Mrs. Mark Allen home, 3248 N. 18th Ave. W., is located in the Deere Run development northwest of Newton. This

expansive 2001 home has been slowly remodeled to fit the needs of the seven members of the Allen family since they purchased it three years ago, and features an open floor plan, a lower level bar and a theater room, and an upstairs loft recreation area for the children, as well as a deck overlooking the countryside and an inground pool.

The 1985 home of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Wallace, 897 High Ave. to the north of Newton, was purchased in 2011 and after an eight month renovation, the Wallaces were pleased to move in and use their new kitchen, remodeled living room, and the custom cabinetry throughout the kitchen, laundry rooms and bathrooms. Look for the Mardi Gras themed tree and ask about the Wallace spindle bed in the third bedroom on this tour.

The president of Dollars for Scholars, Hilary Montalvo, welcomed the public to the event.

“We really encourage everyone to come out and admire these wonderful homes.

Your ticket purchase goes directly to scholarships and you are personally helping students at Newton High School attend college or learn a trade,” Montalvo said. “Dollars for Scholars is celebrating our 13th year and we are proud of our long history of supporting students.”

If unable to attend, the public may make a tax-deductible donation to the Newton Dollars for Scholars Chapter by sending a check to the organization at P.O. Box 1492, Newton, Iowa, 50208.

Five area athletes earn all-HOIC recognition

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Bridget Hurley earned second-team all-Heart of Iowa Conference honors in volleyball this past season.

Hurley finished with 83 kills, 146 digs and 18 aces in 53 sets and 19 matches played.

Five athletes from Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe were recently honored by coaches in the Heart of Iowa Conference.

The league released its all-conference teams after Nevada hoisted the Class 3A state championship trophy over the weekend.

CMB senior Bridget Hurley earned the highest area honor as she was named to the HOIC second team, while her teammates Payge Jurgens and Jordynn Wesselink as well as PCM’s Ashley Van Gorp and Kayla Jennings were all honorable mention selections.

The first-team included Kati Cassabaum and Abby Stephenson of the state-champion Nevada, Mia Davis, Taylor Forth and Bree Richard of Gilbert, Hannah Becker of North Polk, Alexa Whipple of Roland-Story and South Hamilton’s Ady Wintermote and Anna Moss.

Joining Hurley on the second team was Gilbert’s Inga Rotto, Greene County’s Nadia Fisher, South Hamilton’s Alyssa Hegland, North Polk duo Courtney Bonawitz and Rebecca Rimathe and Nevada trio Erin Francis, Amaris Hornbuckle and Chloe Davis.

Every team except Roland-Story had two honorable mention selections each.

Joining the area honorees were Gilbert’s Megan Goodhue and Trinity Jackson, Greene County’s Hannah Promes and Megan Durbin, Nevada’s Abby Bremer and

Three area gridders selected to participate in all-star game

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News A new all-star football game has been created. The River Battle Bowl will take place Nov. 28 at Omaha Central’s Seeman Stadium in Omaha, Neb., and three area standouts will be a part of the inaugural event.

The Team Iowa roster will feature 43 players and only nine of those 43 are from Class 2A schools and smaller.

All three area athletes — Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s Brady Stover and Colfax-Mingo’s Jared Myers and Jacob Lietz — play for one of those small schools.

Stover, Myers and Lietz will get to strap on the football helmet one more time in 2015, and the trio hope to help the Iowa squad defeat allstars from Nebraska.

“I feel honored to be selected to play especially since I’m from a Class A school and a majority of these guys are 4A players,” said

Myers, who was one of the more prolific passers in the entire state this past season for the Tigerhawks. “I would like to thank the people that selected the team for not over looking me since I’m from a small school.”

Myers will be one of three quarterbacks on the Iowa roster. The other two are from 4A programs — Waukee’s Ben Ferkin and Cedar Falls’ Taylen Alexander.

Lietz and Stover will both line up at wide receiver for the game that takes place Thanksgiving weekend. Joining Stover and Lietz will be five athletes from 4A schools — Des Moines Hoover’s Dom Merschel and Patrick Sulli-

Iowa stayed at No. 5 and Oklahoma State moved up to No. 6, one

Wesselink

Megan Anderson, North Polk’s Gracie Harmeyer and Riley Murphy, Saydel’s Melanie Gustafson and Hannah Bowman and South Hamilton’s Alissa Moss and Chloe Barkema.

Roland-Story’s Chelsey Tinken was an honorable mention selection, while Kelsey Polaski earned special recognition.

Hurley, a senior, earned second-team honors despite missing a portion of her final season due to a shoulder injury. She finished with 83 kills, 146 digs and 18 aces in 53 sets and 19 matches played.

Hurley’s kill efficiency was .219 and she was 105-of-117 in serves.

Jurgens, a senior, played in all of CMB’s 25 matches and 72 sets. She led the Raiders with 136 kills and was second in aces with 27. She also had 31 assists, 81 digs and a teamhigh 29 blocks.

Jurgens’ kill efficiency was .237, and she was 158-of-198 in serves.

Wesselink, a sophomore, provided the Raiders with a spark in her first varsity season.

Wesselink also appeared in all 25 matches and 72 sets for CMB, which finished 10-15

Jennings

on the season.

Wesselink had 82 kills, 132 digs, 22 assists, 15 blocks and led the Raiders with 35 aces.

She was 173-of-207 in serves.

Van Gorp, a senior at PCM, was one of the Mustangs’ leaders in kills, digs and aces, but official stats were not available at press time.

The website used to keep high school volleyball statistics around the state, quikstatsiowa.com, is currently out of commission and is not expected to be back up and running until next week at the earliest.

Jennings, a junior, was PCM’s starting setter, and she led the team in assists and aces while also finishing near the top in digs.

Nevada went undefeated in conference play, while Gibert, North Polk and South Hamilton all went 6-2 to tie for second place.

The Cubs eliminated North Polk in the regional semifinals and then dispatched the Mustangs in the regional final.

The Comets defeated CMB in the quarterfinals.

“I am very excited to play with these very talented guys, and I can’t wait to start. I think it also will be very interesting to see what it is like to play against some of the best players from Nebraska and play against guys we don’t know.”

By Stephen Hawkins AP Sports Writer West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen will finally talk about the Mountaineers’ chances to get into a bowl this season.

“We got five (wins),” Holgorsen said Monday during the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “When it’s one more, that’s when I feel it’s appropriate to start talking about it.”

Texas Tech on Saturday became the fifth Big 12 team to get the sixth victory that guarantees bowl eligibility. The Red Raiders joined the four Top 25 teams still contending for the league title and a possible playoff spot — No. 4 Oklahoma State, No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 10 Baylor and No. 11 TCU. West Virginia (5-4), which has won two games in a row since an 0-4 Big 12 start against the playoff contenders, has three more chances to get eligible for its 14th bowl in 15 seasons. Texas (4-6) and Kansas State (3-6) are the only other Big 12 teams that can get to six wins, but neither can lose another game.

“It was tough in October.

There’s no doubt about it, we played four really good teams and caught them all four, it seems, like when they were playing at their best,” Holgorsen said. “We’ve got about

20 seniors. We met with those guys, and said we’ve got a lot to play for.”

The Mountaineers are at winless Kansas on Saturday, then play Iowa State and Kansas State. The Wildcats, who also play the Jayhawks (0-10) and Cyclones (3-7) need three consecutive wins.

“Yes, we address it, but we can’t belabor the point because it is common knowledge and understood by everybody in our program, or anybody that’s not in our program for that matter,” K-State coach Bill Snyder said.

“If we’re thinking down the road for three games, then we’re going to be in trouble.”

Kansas State is 0-6 in Big 12 play for the first time ever, a stretch that includes a 36-34 loss to Oklahoma State and seven-point losses to Baylor and TCU. The Wildcats are home for the Dec. 5 regu-

lar-season finale against WVU. Texas Tech ended a threegame losing streak and got bowl eligible Saturday with a 59-44 victory over Kansas State. The Red Raiders next have their regular-season finale Thanksgiving night at Texas, which then will have another game at Baylor.

“They’re going to come out and go compete,” Longhorns coach Charlie Strong said, when asked about keeping his players focused not throwing in the towel. “I don’t see them quitting at all.”

The Big 12 has agreements this season with seven bowl games, and might not have enough eligible teams to fill those spots. That doesn’t even count a national semifinal game if the Big 12 champion makes the four-team playoff.

If left out of the playoff, the Big 12 winner would instead

Cubs’ Bryant, Astros’ Correa voted top MLB rookies NEW YORK (AP) — Big expectations followed Kris Bryant and Carlos Correa from the moment each was drafted just a few years ago.

It didn’t take long for both to deliver.

Bryant was a unanimous pick as NL Rookie of the Year on Monday, and Correa took the American League prize in a close vote by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling,” Correa explained on a conference call from his home in Puerto Rico, where he said thousands of proud supporters were waiting to celebrate with him. “It really means a lot not only for them, but me as well.”

The surprise top pick in the 2012 amateur draft, Correa recalled how some questioned whether he warranted that selection. But by June this year, he was starting at shortstop in the majors and leading the young Houston Astros toward the playoffs.

Bryant, chosen second overall by the Chicago Cubs in 2013, made his big league debut on April 17. The third baseman quickly became an

All-Star

Continued from Page 1B Myers and Lietz spent the past four seasons setting records and raising the bar at Colfax-Mingo. They ended their time as Tigerhawks with plenty of school records to their names. The season ended with Colfax-Mingo winning a postseason game for the first time in school history.

“I’m pretty excited to be playing against and with the best of the best,” said Lietz, who was an first-team allstate selection last year. “We all care a great deal about football, and we all go as hard as we can so it should be a pretty fun time.”

Stover was a lynchpin for a CMB squad that was hurt by injuries and suspensions this year. He earned all-state honors last year as a defensive back but was one of the top wideouts for the Raiders the past two seasons, too.

All-Star on a rising team that also reached the postseason.

“I think we’re in very similar situations in that we’re surrounded by a lot of young guys,” Bryant said. “I think the only expectations that really matter are the ones you put on yourself. I definitely exceeded my own expectations.”

The 23-year-old Bryant batted .275 and led big league rookies with 26 homers, 31 doubles and 99 RBIs as Chicago returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

Seeking their first championship since 1908, the Cubs were swept by the New York Mets in the NLCS. “I think there is a way to top this year and that’s to win the World Series,” Bryant said. “I think heading into

next year this whole experience is going to help myself and our whole team in general.”

Bryant received all 30 firstplace votes for 150 points in balloting by the BBWAA. San Francisco third baseman Matt Duffy was second with 70 points, and Pittsburgh infielder Jung Ho Kang third with 28 points.

Correa received 17 firsts and 13 seconds for 124 points. Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor was second with 13 firsts, 14 seconds and two thirds for 109 points, and Minnesota designated hitter Miguel Sano was third with 20 points.

Correa began this year in Double-A and made his major league debut June 8. He hit .279 with 22 homers, 68 RBIs and 14 steals, helping the Astros make their first postseason appearance in a decade.

The youngest position player in the major leagues, Correa turned 21 in September.

“It’s like a season that I only thought was going to happen in a dream,” said Correa.

Correa’s 2014 season with

Class A Lancaster was cut short in June because of a broken right ankle.

Houston’s only previous Rookie of the Year was Jeff Bagwell, who won the 1991 NL honor. Bryant is the Cubs’ sixth winner and first since catcher Geovany Soto in 2008.

Bryant and Correa each had the $507,500 minimum salary in the majors.

Houston gave Correa his debut after making sure he won’t be eligible for arbitration until after 2018.

Bryant was left in the minors at the start of the season despite showing off his prodigious power during an outstanding spring training.

Chicago brought up Bryant after waiting just long enough to ensure he cannot become a free agent until after the 2021 season.

“I think I played with a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, and I think it’s good to play that way sometimes,” Bryant said. “In high school I kind of got labeled like I didn’t really care about playing just because I was so relaxed out there, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth.”

Stover will play Division I baseball after he graduates from Collins-Maxwell High School this spring. He is excited to put the football helmet on one last time though.

“It means a lot to me to be selected to represent Iowa because I think it is a huge honor to be selected in an all-star game and play with the best of the best around the area,” Stover said. “It also means a lot that I get to put my helmet and shoulder pads on one more time and get to play some more football again. I feel like all those four years of working hard in the weight room has really paid off.”

Myers and Lietz both have aspirations of playing college football. Myers, a second-team all-state quarterback last season, feels like

this all-star game experience will show him what playing football at the next level will be like.

“Getting to play in this game will give me a taste of the college level since most of these guys or all of them will play college ball,” Myers said. “When working with great players they make you look good and you get to make them look good.”

Team Iowa will have four practices at Gilbert High School before heading to Nebraska for the game next weekend.

The squad begins practice Sunday and travels together to Nebraska on the day of the game.

Other notable players participating in the all-star game include Fort Dodge tailback Sam Cook and Cedar Falls

offensive lineman Spencer Williams, who is committed to the University of Iowa.

The other six smallschool players participating in the game include Des Moines Christian’s (1A) Anthony Muse, Louisa-Muscatine’s (2A) Harold O’Brien, Clayton Ridge’s (1A) Thomas Meyer, South Tama County’s (2A) Peyton Rutledge, Iowa Falls-Alden’s (2A) Jagger Olson and Meskwaki Settlement (8-player) School’s Terrell Grant.

“To me, being selected is a pretty great honor, and I’m proud to represent the state,” Lietz said.

Kickoff is 2 p.m. on Nov. 28. Seeman Stadium is located less than a mile from the Missouri River, sits in the heart of downtown Omaha and can seat up to 5,000 fans.

play an SEC team in the Sugar Bowl.

Control Their Destiny: Either Oklahoma State or Oklahoma can claim the Big 12 title by winning its last two games, which includes their Bedlam rivalry to end the regular season.

“We understand the task at hand,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said.

The Sooners have won five games in a row, the latest over two-time defending Big 12 champ and previously undefeated Baylor.

Some other notes from the Big 12 call: — TCU coach Gary Patterson on the status of bangedup quarterback Trevone Boykin and injured receiver Josh Doctson: “Possibly questionable.”

— Baylor coach Art Briles, whose team has to follow its first loss by playing at undefeated Oklahoma State, was asked about the challenge of that kind of turnaround. “We use the word opportunity,” he said.

— Texas Tech averaged 60 points a game at home this season. The Red Raiders are scoring half that on the road.

“We’ve played very well at home,” coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “We’ve got to somehow translate that to our road games as well.”

Browns to start Manziel at quarterback BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Johnny Manziel is no longer just a celebrated backup for the Browns.

The second-year quarterback will start the rest of Cleveland’s games this season, taking over for veteran Josh McCown who missed the past two games with injured ribs.

Manziel The Browns made the announcement before practice on Tuesday, two days after Manziel passed for 372 yards in a 30-9 loss at Pittsburgh on Sunday. Manziel also flashed a few of those Johnny Football moments that made him famous at Texas A&M, scrambling to turn broken plays into big gains.

Browns coach Mike Pettine hinted at the switch on Monday when he offered high praise for Manziel, who has had a bumpy start in his NFL career but has shown some progress. Manziel shook off an early turnover — he fumbled on Cleveland’s first play — and completed 33 of 45 passes with one touchdown.

The Browns (2-8) had hoped to get that kind of performance earlier from the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, who followed a rough rookie season by spending 70 days in a rehab facility for an unspecified condition.

Manziel also remains under league investigation for a recent domestic incident.

McCown was brought in to mentor Manziel, and by all accounts, the 36-year-old has helped groom the talented and troubled quarterback.

McCown played well but went 1-6 as a starter, and the Browns believe it’s time to get a longer look at Manziel to determine if he is their future franchise quarterback.

McCown said Monday that he could understand if the Browns wanted to turn their offense over to Manziel.

“If that’s the case, that’s the case,” he said. “We’ll move forward accordingly.”

In light of yesterday’s conjunction of the sun and communication planet Mercury, much that wanted to go unsaid probably had to go “said” instead. Once the cats get let out of the bag, they want to eat. Expect plenty of gossip to feed hungry, curious minds.

Remember that just because there is truth in something, that doesn’t make it true all the way through.

Everyone needs a guide.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The need to please can be an asset or an illness. Today it’s the latter, separating you from what it is you really want.

You’ll catch yourself doing too much to make someone happy. Stop and ask, “Why?” CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life can be frustrating, especially when it revolves around technology, language, and other things you do not understand. That person who can translate will be worth their weight in gold today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your goal isn’t unlike the goal of

tech companies everywhere -- you want others to have a positive user experience when interacting with you. This intention will lead to getting many of your needs fulfilled.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Like a hawk you’ll use your keen vision and bird’s-eye perspective to hunt for what you need. You can rest assured that getting what you want will keep the natural order in balance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

This winding road is a test of faith. You can’t see very far ahead of you. Each bend requires you to trust that there is more road on the other side, and that the road will eventually lead to your destination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When you witness desire, you subconsciously put yourself in the desiring person’s place.

You want that to pay off. If it pays off for another, it could pay off for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’ve come to a mental sticking point. To get unstuck, you’ll need to do some jiggling and juggling.

Move things around. Change your schedule. Alter the placement of your furniture.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not all upgrades are improvements. Keep this in mind before you part with your cash. The ones who want you to make a purchase may be thinking more about their

needs than your own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It would be tempting to surround yourself with “yes” people. So many want to agree with you now! Of course, your true friends are the ones who will support you when you’re right and tell you when you’re wrong.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There are times when you tolerate, or perhaps even enjoy, a bit of excitement and drama in your personal life. But right now, you’ll welcome the quiet tranquility of peaceful relationships.
