Fundraising effort under way for Newton K9 unit 9-month-old Smokey expected to join NPD

Jeb Bush talks economics, Middle East strategy in Newton Former Florida governor wants to see military increased

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Jeb Bush believes some goals can be accomplished in the Middle East.

However, as he told a gathering of about 150 people during a town hall meeting at the Newton DMACC-Career Academy on Tuesday evening, there must be some drastic action taken first.

“The (recent) Vienna talks are not going to be successful unless we have military victories,” Bush said.

Strategy in the Middle East and economics were the main topics during the town-hall meeting, held in a shop class area. It was Bush’s first official public campaign event in Jasper County and part of a busy few days in Iowa as the Feb. 1 Iowa Caucuses loom.

Bush spoke for about 19 minutes and then took about 10 questions. In somewhat of a departure

from the usual campaign avoidance of increasing expenditures, he acknowledged it will take some major adjustments to get the U.S. military back to what he feels is an adequate level of staffing and technology.

“It’s going to cost some money,” he said. “But you don’t lead from behind.”

Several of those who asked questions — including Bush’s Marion County chair, banker Mike Olson — traveled to Newton from outside the county.

However, there were some local residents, too, such as Larry Pauly, who asked about both prescription drug prices and renewable fuel standards.

Bush said reducing the amount of time patenting and exclusivity are in place would help reduce drug costs. Regarding renewable fuels and wind energy, he said he “doesn’t think government should pick winners and losers of the tax code,” and echoed much of the sentiment expressed by other candidates regarding simplifying tax rates and eliminating loopholes.

“Our economic growth could be happening so much faster,” he said.

Bush, the son of former President George H. Bush and brother of former President George W. Bush, and his allies have redoubled efforts to increase his visibility in Iowa since it became apparent he was nosediving in polls earlier this fall, stepping up TV commercials and a schedule of in-person appearances in both prominence and quantity. Monday’s slate also included appearances at the stop at the University of Dubuque and at the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum in Waterloo.

Regarding education, Bush said he applauds legislation that gives more power back to the states, preventing the federal government from imposing Common Core. He went on to add that he feels states do not have enough power, in general.

“Roads, schools, Medicare and more should be administered by the states,” Bush said. “The 10th amendment has been trampled on.”

Public health services to be picked up by county

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Board of Health voted to keep public health nursing services in-house at a special meeting Tuesday night. The decision follows the board receiving no letters of interest from any outside agencies and Skiff Medical Center declining to provide the service any longer.

Currently, public health provides services including weekly immunization clinics, blood pressure checks, toenail clinics and safety classes for Jasper County residents. Had the board decided against keeping the program, those services would potentialJamee A.

Knoxville man faces sex abuse charges after incident in Monroe

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News MONROE — A Knoxville man was released from the Jasper County Jail on Sunday on a $3,000 bond after he was charged with third-degree sexual abuse for an alleged sexual assault on a 13-yearold Monroe girl in April.

Alex T. Vander Veer Vander Veer, 19, was arrested Sunday following an investigation from the Monroe Police Department and the Iowa Department of Human Services. Ac-

cording to a police report, the victim told investigators she and Vander Veer had engaged in sexual relations.

The 13-year-old’s guardian also told police that a medical examination was conducted shortly after the alleged assault, and the Iowa DCI crime lab later found Vander Veer’s DNA on evidence gathered from the victim and from the victim’s clothes the evening of the incident. Vander Veer was 18 at the time of the alleged assault.

Vander Veer is scheduled to have an initial appearance in Jasper County District Court on Monday.

The Newton Police Department is launching a campaign to raise $8,000 toward its recently approved K9 unit.

The department, in partnership with the Newton Police Association, is hoping to raise the funds that will be dedicated to training and boarding needs of 9-month-old Border Collie mix named Smokey.

The Newton City Council approved the K9 unit at its Nov. 16 meeting. The cost of the program totals

more than $56,000 with $46,000 used to purchase a specialized vehicle and squad equipment. The dog itself and training with the handler will be $5,200 with an additional $5,000 set aside for kenneling the animal.

The NPD has partnered with Midwest K9 in Pleasant Hill in the selection of the dog.

Smokey is currently being assessed by Midwest K9, which adopts rescue dogs from the Animal Rescue League of Iowa and trains them for police work.

“Drug abuse is prevalent in almost every community in the U.S. and Newton is no exception,” police chief Rob Burdess said.

In Brief

Kellogg UMC to host pizza dinner Saturday Kellogg United Methodist Church will host a free pizza dinner at 6 p.m. Saturday at the church, 417 Second St. in Kellogg.

This free meal of pizza, salad and beverages will be served in the fellowship hall.

For more information, contact the Rev. Tim Morgan at morgans@pcpartner.net.

Sacred Heart hosts Advent Caring Tree Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News In memory of his wife Helen Springer, Chuck Springer donated the United Methodist Church emblem that hangs on the new portico, a part of the extended remodel at St. Luke Church.

Remodel complete at St. Luke Church Community invited to celebration Dec. 13

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Eight years in the making, the remodel at St. Luke United Methodist Church is completed and they are ready to celebrate.

With changes both inside and out, the community is invited to see the huge changes and enjoy a cup of coffee or some Christmas treats at both the 8 and 10:30 a.m. services on Dec. 13.

“One of the first things this church said to me when I came here was we want a new, more noticeable entrance to our church. They had started working on the project with the former pastor,” the Rev. Audrey Young said.

Through the years, the church added onto the original worship building, adding the education wing. The two structures are connected by a glass entryway that served as the main entry to the building.

“They got so big, so fast, that they built the educational wing with the fellowship hall in it,” Young said.

The original church was segmented with a small pastor’s office, meeting room and

kitchen. With a new office built and additional meeting and classrooms available in the new wing, the pastor’s office and meeting room were both taken out to make way for a large, open meeting area and the kitchen now serves as the secretary’s office.

Furniture for the area was donated in memory of Sam Clark, and a new entry way featuring a vestibule and portico was completed fulfilling the congregations wishes.

“It is where we have ended up having most of out meetings now. Rather than sitting around folding chairs and tables, we are sitting in comfortable furniture, which is really great,” Young said.

A special addition to the portico is the United Methodist Church’s emblem of the cross and flame above the walkway.

The emblem was donated in memory of Helen Springer by her husband Chuck.

“It is beautiful, that end of the building, it really makes a statement about who we are,” Young said.

Other parts of the remodel included a new, updated kitch-

en, new carpet and paint in the classrooms and offices, an update for the parsonage and the unexpected project of a new ceiling for the fellowship hall.

With the projects complete, Young said through the giving nature of the church, more than half of the loan has been paid for in just a single year.

“This is an amazing congregation in that while doing the remodel we have still been able to support all of the missions and even added some new ones,” Young said.

Another opportunity to see the finished church is at their annual Christmas cookie and candy sale planned for Dec. 12. Starting at 9 a.m., the public is invited to come and buy a famous Red Bucket for only $14 and fill it with a variety of cookies and candies donated for the event.

“It’s a great way to get a variety of treats for the holiday season for one’s own family and as gifts,” Young said.

Pope urges peace while visiting C. African Republic mosque BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Pope Francis made a historic visit to the last remaining Muslim neighborhood in Central African Republic’s capital Monday, a move that almost immediately opened up a part of the divided city troubled for months by retaliatory violence between Muslim and Christian militias.

Moments after he left, hundreds of Muslims who had essentially been barricaded inside by armed Christians burst into what had been a no-man’s land only a day earlier. Some jubilant residents even

followed the pope into the city center shouting, “The war is over!” — a hopeful sign for potential reunification.

The bold visit by the pope, who traveled into the most volatile part of Bangui in his open-air popemobile, underscored his message of faith over fear. He was not without heavy security, though, including armed peacekeepers in the central mosque’s minarets high above the crowds.

Francis had insisted on visiting the PK5 neighborhood to appeal for peace in a country where two years of Chris-

tian-Muslim violence has forced nearly 1 million people to flee their homes, including thousands living in a camp at the airport, amid wrecked planes. The neighborhood’s once vibrant markets are now largely shuttered and many of the Muslim-owned businesses stand in ruins.

At the Central Mosque, Pope Francis removed his shoes, bowed his head and stood silently at the mihrab, or area of the mosque that faces Mecca.

About 200 men seated inside the mosque welcomed Francis, who sat on a sofa next to the imam. In comments,

Francis said that Muslims and Christians are brothers and must treat each other as such.

“Christians and Muslims and members of traditional religions have lived peacefully for many years,” the pontiff said. “Together, we say ‘no’ to hatred, to vengeance and violence, especially that committed in the name of a religion or God.” The mosque’s chief imam, Tidiani Moussa Naibi, thanked Francis for his visit, calling it “a symbol which we all understand.”

Clevenger to remain Jasper County Medical Examiner

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Dr. Phillip Clevenger was approved on Tuesday to continue serving as the Jasper County Medical Examiner.

The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the appointment along with two assistant medical examiners and several medical examiner in-

To better address drug abuse, the NPD identified the need for

Health Continued from Page 1A “The immunization clinics are booked full.

We are doing shots for basically four hours straight,” Skiff Chief Clinical Officer Sonja Ranck said. “People are interested, active and involved in that process.”

The board discussed several options including extending the deadline for outside agencies or moving forward with the county providing the service. With Skiff ending services as of Feb. 1, the board decided that extending the deadline would put too short of a time for potential hiring, should they have to move in the other direction.

With no apparent other options, they decided to continue the service through the county and to move forward with the hiring

vestigators.

Clevenger, an Iowa-licensed physician, has served as medical examiner since 2009, Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott said. The position is appointed or renewed every two years by the board to work with the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office along with other county entities.

Along with Clevenger, Dr. Pat Edwards

and Dr. Steve Hill were approved to serve as deputy or alternate medical examiners in Clevenger’s absence.

Both are Iowa-licensed physicians in good standing and are affiliated with the Newton Clinic.

Also approved were medical examiner investigators — former sheriff Mike Balmer, Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, Sandy

a highly-trained narcotics dog to assist in narcotics investigations and detect illegal drugs in vehicles, residences, schools and businesses, Burdess said.

Along with drug detection, the dog will also be trained to follow human scent and assist in finding missing children, Alzheimer’s patients as well as suspects.

“The police depart-

ment expects to have the K9 unit operational by late spring of 2016,” Burdess said. “The Newton Police Association is raising funds to bring K9 Smokey to Newton and get him working on the issue at hand.”

Citizens interested in supporting the K9 Unit can make donations to the Newton Police Association K9 Fund by

dropping off a check at the Newton Police Department, mailing a donation to P.O. Box 1223, Newton, IA 50208 or by going to the Newton Police Department Facebook page and donating online through a FundRazr page.

of an administrator to oversee county health services. Approximately $168,000 is budgeted to pay Skiff for the services, which would be reallocated to a new entity.

The board has a small window of time to complete the hiring process with Skiff ending services in two months time. Skiff has provided the service since 1984 but following the merger with Mercy in July and the hospital making internal changes, it decided to not renew the service.

“Skiff ’s goal in this is for it to be as seamless as possible for the community, county and board of health,” Skiff CEO Brett Altman said.

With the decision to move forward made, the board turned to details such as where would the services be housed, who would be doing them and how to start

the hiring process. Jasper County Human Resource Director Dennis Simon said the County Annex Building, the armory, the community center or the courthouse would be potential locations for the service or clinics provided by public health. Altman also said that Skiff would be open to looking at housing the service at one of its locations at an extremely reasonable cost. Ranck did note that many of the clinics require places for patients to lay down and nurses providing the services would have a lot of equipment.

Simon gave the board a timeline for hiring new employees with the notice potentially available to the public as soon as Thursday. He said that once the board had its qualifications for the position it would be posted in appropriate locations for about

a 10-day time period.

From there, applications would need to be reviewed and interviews set up.

For the time being, the board decided to hire only the administrator position and that person will evaluate the need for additional employees. Altman did mention that Skiff currently employees two public health workers, a nurse and a receptionist, with experience in the field. He said that both of the employees expressed interest in staying in public health nursing and would be open to changing employers should the opportunity arise.

The board did leave the option open to accept an outside agency should one show interest in the service.

Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge will begin its winter hours, effective now through Feb. 29.

The Refuge Visitor Center will be closed on Sundays as a cost-savings measure due to low visitation during winter months. Beginning Tuesday, seasonal hours will be Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors are welcome to use all trails and drive the Auto Tour Route every day from dawn to dusk.

Examining refugee vetting isn’t discrimination

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

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

Friends and family tell me I’m over-thinking things by wondering about the cost of more extensively vetting refugees from Syria and Iraq. Actually, last weekend, I was told to quit thinking about it at all, as only a “fun stealer” would ruin playful discussions by bringing up serious subjects.

I obliged these moratoriums on serious talk — not simply because of the tasty food we were enjoying over the weekend, but more because Thanksgiving is a time to rejoice. We always hope to rejoice again in the following year, but this time around, it really feels like we have some tough choices to make to keep us from being in a much worse position a year from now worldwide.

Some of those decisions involve selecting our own leaders, especially the American president. Others involve the leaders already in place, tackling tough topics like taking on more Syrian refugees.

I support continuing to allow Syrian refugees to pursue the process of entering the U.S. However,

I also agree with our leaders who feel the system could be paused temporarily while it is reviewed by congress — partly to display more clearly to the public and to congress how most refugees are vetted, and partly to determine if special rules or restrictions should apply to refugees from Syria or Iraq.

A CBS report quotes President Obama’s administration officials as saying a great deal of congressional concerns are “based on misinformation,” and that a lot of questions “are from members of Congress who are just learning about the program for the first time.”

While I think it’s always alarming to find out how much congress doesn’t know about how things really work, it isn’t possible to know how all 2 million federal employees get things done, and while the interest is conveniently timed, I still applaud it.

Congress will learn important facts, such as how the widespread belief that the United Nations selects the refugees who enter the

U.S. is simply false. The vetting process for refugees who plan to enter the U.S. is not only an entirely American operation, but is also “quite intensive, and involves several government agencies,” according to a senior official quoted

by CBS. Only about half of the refugees seek asylum in the U.S., and the process for obtaining refugee status in the United States typically takes 18 to 24 months.

Obama’s broad directive to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees doesn’t address and number of potential departures from the process — How would the 10,000 be selected? Would they be vetted in the same way as most others or would they bypass the process or receive a special set of interviews and background checks? And what precedent does this set? What if there are 100,000 the U.S. would be expected to take in, if Islamic forces gain control of considerably more territory?

Until the Obama administration produces a complex plan, I don’t support it.

A thorough federal program has been interviewing, scrutinizing and making determinations on Iraqis and others since 2007; about 1,800 Syrians were allowed to enter the U.S. within the past year. However, the amount of violence spreading in the region increases the need for scrutiny; in fact, it might just show Americans how meticulous and effective the vetting process has become.

One solution we might end up with is to accept only women and children from Syria and Iraq; I can relate with American concerns about putting U.S. forces to work in a dangerous region that should be defended first by any 25-year-old Syrian males seeking refugee or asylum status elsewhere. However, about half of the Syrian refugees are children, and 2.5 percent are adults over 60.

I feel we need to slow down and carefully plan our next steps.

President Obama’s imaginary world

State View

Sound budgeting gives Iowa a good outlook for 2016 As we move toward the 2016 session, the careful budget-making strategy adopted by the legislature will allow us to maintain our investments in expanding Iowa’s middle class in all 99 counties.

This includes affordable higher education, 21st Century job training and a By Chaz Allen good education Iowa Senator for our schoolchildren.

That’s because we balance the state budget in a fiscally responsible way. Under Iowa law, we never budget for more than 99 percent of what the state takes in, and often significantly less.

We use a cautious approach to

determining how much to spend by looking at recent revenue estimates of a nonpartisan panel of experts.

Each year, at least 1 percent of the state budget goes into savings accounts, which include a cash reserve fund and an economic emergency fund. This is the money that gets us by in hard times, such as an economic recession or a natural disaster. We currently have more than $700 million in our reserve funds, the largest amount in state history.

Iowa’s approach to budgeting wins widespread praise: • Based on a comprehensive review of data, 24/7 Wall St. rates the 50 states by how well they’re run. In its most recent study, Iowa ranked number four in the nation. Among our state’s

attributes: low debt, a strong credit rating and a well-managed budget.

• Iowa consistently earns a Triple A credit rating from Standard and Poor’s. This top rating means the state of Iowa has an “extremely strong capacity to meet financial commitments” in full and on time.

• Iowa’s rainy day funds equal about 10 percent of the state budget and are among the strongest in the country, according to the Tax Foundation.

• Iowa is one of only eight states to receive an “A” grade from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group because we make it easy for Iowans to see how their tax dollars are spent.

President Obama lives in a world all his own.

It’s a world in which he’s widely beloved but also m i s understood, a world i n which everyone is By Ben Shapiro racist except for those who support him, a world in which his foreign policy has been heroically successful and his domestic policy even more so.

President Obama lives in Fantasyland.

In this Fantasyland, it’s not enough for President Obama to define the world around him in self-serving fashion.

He must define his enemies the same way. To that end, while visiting Paris for the Climate Change Summit that will supposedly usher in an era of global cooperation and environmental utopianism, Obama announced that he had finally found a way to defeat Islamic State.

Talking about climate change, Obama said, was an “act of defiance that proves nothing will deter us ... What greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best efforts to save it?”

Not to be Debbie Downer, but nothing in ISIS’ plans suggests that they care deeply about preventing a bunch of self-important bureaucrats from meeting in well-stocked, toney hotels to destroy the Western economy on behalf of scientific chimeras.

ISIS, in fact, probably adores the notion that the West will take itself down a couple economic pegs in order to redistribute the wealth. Certainly other Islamic terrorists have felt that way.

Osama Bin Laden, for example, lamented that the West did not spend more money on climate

change relief efforts, and stated according to Al Jazeera, “Speaking about climate change is not a matter of intellectual luxury — the phenomenon is an actual fact. All of the industrialized countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global warming crisis.”

Regardless of ISIS’ feelings on global warming, they obviously don’t sit around in Raqqa lamenting that their plans have been defeated by those dastardly Westerners and their catered diplomatic lunches. But President Obama says they do.

That’s because he crafts his own enemies based on who he wishes they were. Obama is thoroughly uncomfortable with the idea that those who wish to fight him are members of radical Islam. He wishes they were right-wing American ideologues. So he simply plays them off as such.

Obama did the same thing with regard to the Iran nuclear deal.

While handing Iran $150 billion in funding, opening their economy, and granting them a full nuclear weapons program in a decade, Obama claimed that the real enemies of peace were Republicans siding with Iranian hardliners. Never mind that those hardliners didn’t exist. Obama created them magically, and then made them Republicans.

Barack Obama is a leftist hammer in search of a conservative nail. No matter who his enemies actually are, he’ll characterize them as American conservatives for purposes of whacking them over the head. ISIS may have slaughtered Westerners in Paris thanks to radical Islam, but Obama will never acknowledge that: instead, he’ll just claim that they’re essentially Ted Cruz in keffiyehs.

Man wants his girlfriend to stay dressed for bed

DEAR ABBY: I have dated a lot of women over the years — including actresses, beauty contest winners and models. Every one of them, except my current live-in, “Amanda,” would dress up in lingerie when I asked them to.

Amanda adamantly refuses. She says if I love her, I should be turned on whether she’s nude or wearing lingerie.

Part of the problem is she’s not in the best shape, and the lingerie would hide that.

I have tried bargaining with her, but she won’t agree. She doesn’t understand why I’m not chasing her around all the time. I have tried to explain that I don’t find a tummy sexy. She just calls me Shallow Hal. Advice? — HAL IN NEW YORK DEAR HAL: I’d love to know what attracted you to Amanda in the first place, since your “type” seems to have always been women who are arm candy. Sadly, taut bodies don’t always last.

At some point, age, pregnancies and the pull of gravity can cause them to sag. By the way, with the exception of pregnancy, this can affect men as well as women.

Bottom line: If physical perfection is what you need to feel aroused, then you and Amanda may be a mismatch because NOBODY’S perfect. (And this includes you.)

DEAR ABBY: I have started using an effective coping skill when I get upset about something or someone at work. I “vent” in a personal email to myself and send it to my home email address.

Well, today I got upset with my office buddy, so I sent myself an email.

But instead of it going to my home, I mistakenly sent it to her and it hurt her feelings. I never meant for her or anyone else to read it. The technique keeps me from staying angry at work.

As soon as I realized what I had done, I sent her an apology and we talked about it afterward.

I feel terrible about hurting her, be-

cause she is a sweet person, and it was a complete misunderstanding on my part. She told me she accepted my apology. What else can I do for her, or should I just learn my lesson? — FLUBBED IT IN FLORIDA DEAR FLUBBED: I think your apology was enough. However, because it hasn’t assuaged your guilt, consider asking if you can treat her to lunch. And in the future, look twice before hitting “send.” Better yet, go “old school” and write your thoughts in a notebook you keep in your purse.

DEAR ABBY: I am scheduled to attend a wedding later this month.

Well, I just found out the groom’s uncle is not a real minister, and that he purchased his minister’s license online.

I think it is very disrespectful to people who take religion seriously, and to real ministers who spend years studying in order to be ordained. There’s nothing wrong with having a judge preside over the ceremony, but to have a fake minister preside makes the whole ceremony a fraud.

If I say anything, I know it will cause hurt feelings, so I’m keeping my mouth shut. Am I an old fuddy-duddy? — SILENT IN SPRINGFIELD, ILL. DEAR SILENT: You are entitled to your feelings, but if this uncle is the person the happy couple wants to officiate, you shouldn’t judge. If their choice makes you uncomfortable, stay home.

3 Sen. Joni Ernst retires from 2

Board takes steps toward dismissing assessor again FORT DODGE — The firing of the Webster County assessor has been rescinded, but the board members still intend to fire her.

The county Conference Board reinstated Jeanette Thanupakorn Tuesday, and then placed her on paid administrative leave. The action gives her time to request a public hearing.

Thanupakorn was fired on Oct. 27 in the wake of the state’s order for a 16 percent increase in county commercial property valuations.

Calling her time in the military one of her “greatest honors,” Ernst announced Tuesday that she had retired from the role.

In a statement, she said she was focusing on her work as a senator and spending time with her family. A lieutenant colonel, Ernst served more than 20 years in the U.S. Army Reserves and Iowa Army National Guard.

UI, Iowa presidents seek state dollars for faculty DES MOINES (AP) — The University of Iowa needs to pay its faculty more money to stay competitive among other schools, the university’s newly appointed president told state officials Tuesday during a budget presentation.

University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld, whose school is seeking more than $5 million in additional funds for the upcoming fiscal year, said he wants to use $4.5 million of that to pay some faculty more money. He said his data show faculty members are leaving to work at schools with better pay.

“We’re on fire, we’re getting raided,” he said.

Harreld, a businessman selected by the Iowa Board of Regents amid controversy over his lack of academic experience, also sought $1 million for expanding workforce training in information technology.

Steven Heath, president of Iowa State University, said part of his request for $8.2 million in additional funds would be used to hire more faculty as part of an effort to lower the school’s student-to-faculty ratio from 19-to-1 to 16-to-1. He said Iowa State’s enrollment increased by more than 10,000 over 10 years, making it difficult for the university to lower the ratio.

Cardinal girls hold off No. 12 Huskies

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News For a third time in as many games, Newton High’s Cardinal girls rang the victory bell. The Cardinals moved to 3-0 on the new season with a 49-35 win at home over Class 4A 12thranked Winterset Tuesday.

Newton staked out a 16-5 first-quarter lead on its way to a 30-16 halftime lead. The Cardinals had to stave off a second-half charge by the Huskies to claim the victory.

“I told our players I hope it (the victory) tastes good, but I hope it doesn’t feel good to them. I was pleased with the first half, the rest of the game not so much,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said.

“We did not come out with the attack-the-day type of mentality we have had in the other two games.”

Macy Johnson, Winterset’s point guard, kept the Huskies in the game. She scored Winterset’s five first-quarter points. Her basket with 5:53 on the clock tied the game a 3-all.

Newton took over from there. The Cardinals rattled off eight unanswered points CARDINALS | 6B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High junior Ellie Horn blocks the shot of Winterset’s Molly Eyerly in the first half of Tuesday’s game. Newton used a 16-5 first-quarter run to get to the lead and stay out in front of the visiting Huskies. The Cardinals held off a second-half charge by the Class 4A 12th-ranked Huskies to notch a 49-35 victory at home.

Newton boys split Gholson fires in 28 in Newton boys’ opening win double dual swim meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BOONE — Four Newton High boys reached double-digit scoring in the Cardinals’ season-opening contest on the road Tuesday.

The Cardinals brushed back their host Boone, 75-55.

The Cardinals netted Bill Liley his first win as Newton head coach. Liley took over the NHS boys’ basketball program in July, coming from Seattle, Wash.

Junior Connor Gholson had the hot hand for the Cardinals against the Toreadors.

Gholson triggered in four

of the team’s six 3-pointers. He sank 10-of-12 free throw attempts as he had a gamehigh 28 points.

Senior guard Jwan Gholson Roush hit one trey on his way to 13 points while junior forward Morgan Maher connected for one 3-pointer as he scored 11 points in the game.

Sophomore guard Garrett Sturtz went 6-of-7 at the line on his way to 12 points.

“I’m extremely proud of our guys. We got off to a terrific start with a 14-2 run in the first 2:30 of the game, and never looked back,” Liley said.

Newton outscored Boone, 15-7, in the first quarter and led 29-22 at the break. The Cardinals held a 20-14 scoring edge in the third quarter.

“Connor and Garrett Sturtz were 18-of-20 at the free-throw line in the fourth quarter,” Liley said as the Cardinals tallied 26 points in the final eight minutes. Boone scored 19 points in that span.

DES MOINES — Another one bites the dust.

The time knocked off the Newton High boys’ swimming record board Tuesday night was really dusty. It was the oldest record on the board.

Newton senior swimmer Isaak Webb has set three new team marks in his first two swim meets of the 2015-16 season. At Des Moines Lincoln, Webb demolished the NHS 100-yard backstroke mark as he cruised to a victory in the race in 54.51 seconds.

The old 100 backstroke record was 56.40 seconds set by Brad McCall in 1972. Webb

holds four individual records in yards — 200 individual medley, 100 butterfly, 100 breaststroke and 100 backstroke — on the NHS board and is a member of Webb the three relay records.

“Isaak won the race by eight seconds. He wasn’t challenged in that race,” Newton coach Dave Hook said. “We had a great meet, coming out with a split of the dual meet. We saw good times and some personal-best times by our swimmers.”

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — With a young and inexperienced roster, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys basketball team is going to have to rely heavily on hard-nosed defense this season.

Unfortunately for the Raiders, the defense got off to a bumpy start Tuesday night and CMB never recovered in a 64-32 loss to Nevada in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

It was the season opener for both teams. CMB coach Scott Brummel hopes to use the opener as a learning experience moving forward.

“We are young. There will be some growing pains that we’ll go through,” Brummel said. “It’s even tougher when you play a team that gets after you on defense and anticipates well.

We have to handle pressure better.

We’ll keep working on that in practice.

“The name of the game is to improve. One game doesn’t make a season.”

The start is what hurt the Raiders the most Tuesday night.

Nevada’s Cole Gidel got the Cubs off to a fast start with three consecutive 3-pointers and the visitors began the game on a 14-0 run and cruised from there.

CMB trailed 17-3 after one quar-

ter and just never got things going offensively.

“We doubled in spots that we shouldn’t have doubled in a lot of times,” Brummel said. “That gave them a lot of open looks to start with. So our rotations were not good.

That’s not really what we want to do. We want to match up, and we certainly don’t want to leave open shooters.”

The Raiders were much better in the second quarter, but it was too little, too late. They were outscored 15-12 in the second, but Nevada won the second half, 32-17.

Junior Brady Kemp led the Raiders with eight points and three rebounds, senior Hunter Gunderson had seven points and eight boards and freshman Will Clapper chipped in four points and grabbed a teamhigh 10 rebounds in his first varsity game.

CMB made only 9-of-43 from the floor and it hit 1-of-12 from 3-point range. Nearly half of the Raiders’ points came at the foul line, but CMB made only 13-of-24.

“I think the shots will eventually fall,” Brummel said. “We have to play inside out. We just turned it over too much and started our offense 10 feet further out than we would like.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEWELL — During a preseason interview, Prairie City-Monroe coach Fred Lorensen said he hoped Luke Greiner would take a big step forward this year and provide three-year starter Logan Gilman with a second scoring option.

After the season opener against another team which expects to be in the mix for a conference title, Greiner is already showing progress.

The junior forward knocked down a contested jumper from the free throw line with 1.5 seconds to go, and the Mustangs stole a road win against South Hamilton. Greiner finished with a game-high 20 points in a 55-54 victory.

The Hawks (0-1, 0-1) led most of the way, but a 60-percent effort from the foul line allowed the Mustangs to stay in the game.

South Hamilton hit four 3-pointers in the first quarter and led 20-14 after 8 minutes.

PCM rallied to tie it up at 26all before the Hawks eventually led 35-31 at the break.

The Mustangs took their first lead of the game late in the third quarter, but a 3-pointer by Landon Quam gave the home team a 44-43 lead after three quarters.

The Hawks held a onepoint lead with 1:16 to play but couldn’t convert at the line to put the game away. South Hamilton missed the front

end of a 1-and-1 three times in the final 4 minutes.

PCM inbounded the ball with 9 seconds left and had one last chance at victory.

Greiner caught the ball at the foul line, pulled up and nailed it to give the Mustangs a big season-opening win.

PCM has won at least a share of the HOIC title in six of the past seven seasons.

With Division I prospect Collin Hill, South Hamilton expects to challenge the Mustangs this season.

With a Drake University coach in the stands, Hill, a junior, finished with 18 points to lead the Hawks, while sophomore Marco Balderas added 13.

The Hawks nailed nine 3-pointers in the loss.

Gilman scored 14 points for the Mustangs, while junior Mark Bruxvoort and freshman Andrew Van Ryswyk each added six.

While South Hamilton was hitting from outside, the Mustangs did their damage inside the arc, making 23 of their 34 2-point attempts. PCM shot 53 percent from the floor in the game.

The Mustangs travel to South Tama County on Thursday and host Roland-Story in the home opener on Friday. Both games follow the girls’ contests, which begin at 6 p.m..

No. 1 Nevada too much for CMB girls

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — With his two top scorers unavailable due to injury, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter coach Jamie Zabel is now pleading to the rest of his team to take open shots when they are there.

Unfortunately for the Raiders against top-ranked Nevada on Tuesday, the shots were few far and between.

CMB played the defending champion Cubs tough for the first 8 minutes, but struggled to take care of the ball and simply didn’t hit enough shots in a 6415 loss in the home opener.

“We just don’t score. We need to get more shots in the air,” Zabel said. “We didn’t take 40 shots tonight. If we have open looks, we have to take them and knock them down.”

The Raiders (0-2 overall, 0-2 in HOIC play) trailed Nevada 7-5 following a 3-point play from junior Sydney Ziesman with 42 seconds to play in the first quarter.

Allison Fey buried a 3-pointer in the closing seconds of the quarter and that was as close as the Cubs allowed the Raiders to get the rest of the night.

Nevada outscored CMB 18-3 in the second quarter and then pulled away with a 36-7 advantage in the second half. The Raiders did not score in the fourth quarter.

“There were times tonight where we rebounded it well and held them to one shot,” Zabel said. “Unfortunately, their length really got us. They have 6-foot2 and 6-foot-2 and we have 5-foot-9 and 5-foot-8. We also turned it over too much.”

The length belonged to the all-state frontcourt duo of Kati

Raiders Continued from Page 1B “I thought we settled down after that defensively, but any time you get off to a start like that it’s tough,” Brummett said.

Gidel buried five treys in Nevada’s win and was 11-of-24 from the floor in all. He finished with a game-high 28 points.

No other Cub scored more than seven.

Nevada turned it over seven times, while CMB had 18 miscues in the loss.

The Cubs also buried seven shots from 3-point range. Abby Stephenson drained two triples and finished with 10 points.

Senior Bridget Hurley missed her second straight game due to a shoulder injury.

Zabel is unsure when he will have one of his best players back on the court.

“She has state dance this week, and we’ll play it by ear at that point,” Zabel said.

Nader’s 21 points fuels ISU’s win over NDSU AMES (AP) — For a few minutes, Iowa State’s hopes for a huge season laid writhing on the Hilton Coliseum floor.

Star Georges Niang turned out to be fine.

So did the Cyclones, who shook off a sluggish start to overwhelm yet another opponent.

Abdel Nader scored 21 points, Jameel McKay had 15 to go with a career-high 19 rebounds and fifth-ranked Iowa State beat North Dakota State 84-64 on Tuesday night Monte Morris had 18 points and six assists for the Cyclones (6-0).

They overcame shooting just 26 percent on 3-pointers — and an injury scare from Niang that turned out to be a minor muscle spasm— to post their fifth straight win by double digits.

“The best out of tonight is, we won and Georges is healthy,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.

Iowa State hosts Buffalo next Monday.

Oklahoma is No. 3 in the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings, putting the Sooners safely in position to be in the final four with their season completed.

The Sooners locked up the Big 12 championship with a blowout victory at Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Committee chairman Jeff Long refused to speculate whether the Sooners could be moved out of the top four by Saturday’s results when the final rankings come out Sunday, but it’s plain to see Oklahoma should be OK. Of the four teams directly behind Oklahoma, two are playing each other (No. 4 Iowa and No. 5 Michigan State in the Big Ten title game for a spot in the playoff ), one isn’t playing and can’t win a conference title (No. 6 Ohio State) and anoth-

er has two losses (No. 7 Stanford).

Clemson is still No. 1 and Alabama remained No. 2. Both the Tigers (12-0) and Crimson Tide (11-1) head into their conference championship games Saturday needing a victory to lock up a playoff spot.

The top seed gets to play closest to home, so for Clemson a semifinal game at the Orange Bowl in Miami also is on the line against No. 10 North Carolina (111) in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.

Alabama at No. 2 and Oklahoma at No. 3 would give the Sooners a short trip to the Cotton Bowl in North Texas for the other New Year’s Eve semifinal.

Hoping for an upset by the Tar Heels against Clemson or Florida against Alabama in the Southeastern Conference title game are No. 6 Ohio State (11-1) and No. 7 Stanford (10-2).

Ferentz nabs his fourth Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year award Newton Daily News IOWA CITY — Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz has been named the Dave McClain and Hayes-Schembechler Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year.

The Big Ten Conference, announced it Tuesday along with league offensive individual award winners and the all-conference offensive teams.

Iowa senior offensive lineman Jordan Walsh was named first team All-Big Ten by league coaches. Junior quarterback C.J. Beathard and senior center Austin Blythe earned second team honors by both coaches and league media, while Walsh was on the media’s second team.

Senior running back Jordan Canzeri earned third team recognition from both coaches and media.

Junior wide receiver Matt VandeBerg and

sophomore offensive lineman Sean Welsh received honorable mention recognition from both coaches and media.

“I’m honored to be recognized in a conference that has outstanding coaches throughout the league. The success of our season is the result of a lot of hard work by our entire coaching staff and every member of our football program,” said Ferentz.

“The Big Ten Conference has forever featured outstanding football coaches; I have great respect for the head coaches in the Big Ten and appreciate their acknowledgement of our accomplishments. I share this recognition with our staff, our players, and our great fans. I am grateful to the University of Iowa for providing the necessary support for our success.”

Hawk teams sweep BGM in SICL doubleheader

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Lynnville-Sully’s basketball teams had a good road trip Tuesday playing against host BGM in South Iowa Cedar League action.

First, the Class 1A 14thranked Lynnville-Sully’s girls posted a 44-30 win to go 2-0 for the season and in conference play. Next up were the Hawk boys opening their season with a 54-33 conference victory.

“It was a good win to start the season,” Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “Our defensive effort was solid, and we did a good job on the boards. We were able to make a run in the third quarter, and that ended up being the difference.”

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B on a basket by Alex Hutchinson, a putback by Ellie Horn, and a free throw apiece from Sydney Jenkins and Taylor Moon. Moon drove right to the basket for a field goal to end the run.

Up 11-5, Newton got a follow shot from Horn, who finished with four rebounds and four blocked shots. Courtney Jacobsen drilled a 3-pointer to push Newton’s advantage to 16-5 at the end of the first period.

Jessica Reynolds’ two putback buckets countered a basket by Winterset’s Madison Wauters. Jenkins, who hit three 3-pointers in the game, netted one with 5:31 left in the second quarter followed by a free throw from Hutchinson to give Newton a 24-7 lead.

Taylor Shipley scored at the 3:34 mark to make it 26-9.

Back-to-back blocks by Megan Pressgrove and Horn on

Honors Continued from Page 3B The Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year voted on

by Big Ten head football coaches and is named in honor of former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes and former Michigan coach Bo SchembeFerentz chler.

The Dave McClain Award is named in honor of Wisconsin’s former head coach and is voted on by media representatives.

Ferentz previously earned Big Ten Coach of the Year accolades in 2002, 2004 and 2009, and becomes only the second mentor in Big Ten history to be honored in four or more seasons, joining Michigan’s Bo Schembechler, who was honored in six different seasons.

In his 17th season at Iowa, Ferentz is tied for seventh in Big Ten victories (76) and ranks eighth in total wins (127). Ferentz has led Iowa to a school-record 12 victories this season, the fifth time the Hawkeyes have recorded 10 or more wins under his leadership.

Walsh, a native of Glendale Heights, Illinois (Glenbard West HS), has also been a constant for Iowa’s offensive line. Walsh has started all 12 games at right guard and has 35 career starts.

Beathard, a native of Franklin, Tennessee (Battle Ground Academy), is 13-0 as Iowa’s starting quarterback.

This season he has complet-

Junior guard Tyler Van Zante had a solid start to the season with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Van Zante dished out five assists and made five steals in the Hawks’ win.

Working the inside for the Hawks were freshman forward Rylan James and senior post player Kyle Van Dyke.

James fired in 11 points while Van Dyke poured in 10 points. Sophomore guard Jesse Van Wyk pulled down 10 of the team’s 44 rebounds and had four assists.

Lynnville-Sully grabbed a 6-3 lead over the BGM boys by the end of the first quarter.

The Hawks were up 22-16 at the break. Lynnville-Sully outscored the Bears, 32-17 in the second half.

The Hawk boys shot 47 percent, 22-of-47, from the field, but only sank 7-of-20

free throw attempts. BGM went 4-of-14 at the line. The Bears shot a cool 23 percent, 11-of-47, from the field.

Senior Sage Ehresman scored eight points, and Van Wyk had six points. Canyon Kuhlmann, another senior, tossed in four points, and junior Ryan Hofer scored two points.

Senior Kaiden Fiebelkorn drilled four of the BGM boys’ seven 3-pointers on his way to a team-high 17 points. The Bears had 26 rebounds.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls controlled the SICL contest from the start, leading 10-4 after one quarter of play against BGM. The Hawks expanded their lead to 24-10 by halftime. The Bear girls made a run at the Hawks in the second half, but never could stop the Lynnville-Sully offense

enough to make up ground.

“I was really proud of how hard the girls played tonight,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach Jerry Hulsing said. “I was happy to see some of the things that we worked on over break on the floor tonight — being mentally tough and keep working to get the job done.”

Hulsing said the Hawks played well on the defensive end of the floor limiting BGM good looks. He said Lynnville-Sully had a lapse in focus which allowed BGM back into the game, but he was happy to see the girls responded in a positive manner to push the lead out again.

Junior Brenna Lanser had a double-double with 19 points and 15 rebounds for Lynnville-Sully. She made four steals, handed out three assists and had three blocked

shots.

Senior Kasiah Ehresman added 12 points and senior Marissa Vos had eight points.

Sophomores Camyryn Russell and Hailey Scandridge scored three points and two points, respectively.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls were 17-of-47 from the field for 36 percent and downed 8-of-18 free throw attempts. BGM shot 25 percent, 12-of-48, from the field and hit 5-of-8 foul shots.

Jolissa Kriegel scored 12 points, pulled down 17 rebounds and blocked five shots to lead BGM. The Hawk squads are on the road again Friday, playing SICL games at North Mahaska.

the same Winterset possession gave the ball back to the Cardinals. Jenkins connected at the other end for Newton.

The Huskies were still yapping at the Cardinals’ heels.

They scored seven straight to pull within 12 points, 28-16, Newton’s Hannah Rhoads ended the first half with a basket — 30-16 — and opened the second half with a bucket.

“We fell apart a bit in the middle of the game, but we know we’re strong as a team.

Coach kept telling us to stay together and fight through it, and we did,” junior guard Ryanne Rausch said after the game. Rausch had the assignment of defending Johnson.

“Once we got our help-side defense taken care of it was easier to guard her. We wanted to force her to go to the left,” Rausch said.

The Huskies climbed back in the game in the third quarter, outscoring the Cardinals 10-4. Newton was protecting an eight-point lead — 34-26 — heading into the final eight

minutes of play.

Jenkins knocked down two straight 3-pointers to get the Cardinals a 40-28 lead with 6:29 remaining in the game.

Winterset hung around by hitting 7-of-9 foul shots as Newton was in foul trouble.

“We will lose games if we put teams on the line 24 times. Winterset is a good shooting team, but tonight they struggled a bit and we were fortunate,” Sharp said.

“Our decision making at both ends of the court was not very good tonight.”

The Cardinals did not give up another point after Johnson hit one of two free throws at the 3:21 mark. Newton would seal the home victory at the free-throw line, sinking 7-of11, and playing stingy defense.

“We’ll be better for this game. It is a learning process for us,” Sharp said. “Players like Ellie Horn impact the game in ways other than scoring. We have a lot of players like that, and we needed them tonight.”

Newton goes on the road for the first time this season Friday. The Cardinals open Little Hawkeye Conference play at Pella Christian.

“Pella Christian is a young team with a very good player returning as a junior, and they have good size on the team,” Sharp said. “We’ll see how it goes since it will be our first road game. We’ve been in the nice confines of our home gym.

We’re excited to start off conference play in the right way.”

Randi Walters completed a three-point play and drilled a 3-pointer in the final 40 seconds of the third quarter for Newton’s junior varsity Tuesday. It was Walters’ second trey of the game which put the Cardinals up 35-32 with 2:02 left to play.

Newton claimed a 37-32 win over Winterset after trailing 16-12 at halftime. The Cardinals used a 17-7 run in the third quarter to reverse their fortune.

Walters led Newton with 13 points followed by Marce-

lina Marvelli, who had one 3-pointer, with six points.

Harlie Durr scored eight points while Ali Bestell had four points. Scoring two points each were Anna Forsyth, Taylor Ryan and Addy Blom.

In a two-quarter freshman contest, Newton won 32-9.

Abbie Barr scored eight points followed by Lakin Jenkins and Desirae Shelton with six apiece. Rachel Rhoads had four points. Scoring two points apiece were Brittney McConnell, Maddi Thayer, Emily Valtman and Peyton Maher.

Swim
