Housing study to assess market needs, viability in Jasper County Joint JEDCO, Hometown Pride effort will focus on nine communities

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News

Federal government blocks Dakota Access oil pipeline route CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Sunday it won’t grant an easement for the Dakota Access oil pipeline in southern North Dakota, handing a victory to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters, who argued the project would threaten the tribe’s water source and cultural sites.

North Dakota’s leaders criticized the decision, with Gov. Jack Dalrymple calling it a “serious mistake” that “prolongs the dangerous situation” of having several hundred protesters who are camped out on federal land during cold, wintry weather. U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer said it’s a “very chilling signal” for the future of infrastructure in the United States.

The four-state, $3.8 billion project is largely complete except for the now-blocked segment underneath Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir.

Assistant Secretary for

Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy said in a news release that her decision was based on the need to “explore alternate routes” for the pipeline’s crossing. Her full decision doesn’t rule out that it could cross under the reservoir or north of Bismarck.

“Although we have had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it’s clear that there’s more work to do,” Darcy said. “The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing.”

The company constructing the pipeline, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, released a statement Sunday night slamming the decision as politically motivated and alleging that President Obama’s administration was determined to delay the matter until he leaves office.

Pacesetters claim first place trophy at state First top award for NHS dance team in 15 years

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News There will be a title for the Newton High School Pacesetters to defend next year at the Iowa State Dance Team Championships.

That’s because the Pacesetters took home a first place trophy in last week’s state championships, held Thursday and Friday at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

The NHS dance team won the trophy for Class III “kick” — its first top honor in that category since 2000, and its first

top-spot trophy in any category since winning a title in “pom” in 2001.

“It has been a long time and it feels great,” said Pacesetter coach Paige Meredith. “We have placed in the top five every year, but have not won (first place) for a long time. Winning at state competition is extremely difficult.”

In addition to placing first in kick at the competition, which is labeled as the 2017 state championships, the Pacesetters also placed fourth in Class V jazz and fifth in Class XII pom and claimed a Sportsmanship Award and a Distinguished Academic Award for its team GPA of 3.58.

Locals react to pipeline decision

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Sunday afternoon it would deny Dakota Access, LLC the final construction permit needed to run the 1,164-mile Bakken pipeline underneath the Missouri River reservoir near the Stand Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, reverberations were felt throughout the project’s four state reach.

In Jasper County, where 34 miles for the 343-mile Iowa pipeline segment is now in the ground, activists and landowners were still trying to find ways to express their displeasure with the project even before the announcement.

Opponents of the project are holding a community meeting at 10:15 a.m. Saturday at the Newton Public Library to discuss an Dec. 15 hearing for nine Iowa landowners who have issued a lawsuit against the state of Iowa for alleged misuse of eminent domain with the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Dollars for Scholars hosts 31st annual Newton Tour of Homes

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Nathan and Emily McConkey never thought they would live in a historical home in Newton, let alone open their doors to welcome in strangers.

On Saturday they did just that during the Newton Tour of Homes. Dollars for Scholars collected money as people scattered throughout the McConkey’s decorated three-story home.

Emily said she and her husband and her two daughters recently moved into the home on 503 W. 12th St. S. after moving from Ankeny.

The Jasper County Economic Development Corporation and the Jasper County Hometown Pride Program have announced plans for a joint housing market study to examine the development need of the nine Hometown Pride communities.

The study will asses current markets and pent up demand for new housing starts in Baxter, Colfax, Kellogg, Lynnville, Mingo, Monroe, Newton, Prairie City and Sully. It aims to evaluate what housing types — townhomes, Davidson apartments, condos, traditional homes — are desired and would be successful in each community. The report will include a breakdown of needs in each community and Jasper County as a whole.

The study will address several questions, including how to attract new families to Jasper County towns, how to increase the property tax base and generate new stuAllen dents and revenue for local school districts and communities codes and ordinances set up to allow housing to be successful.

According to Jasper County Hometown Pride Community Coach Jeff Davidson, the study was born out of a call for help from former Prairie City City Administrator Manny Toribio. The town of 1,700 currently has only one new subdivision lot left for sale and development.

At a Prairie City Economic Development Committee meeting earlier this year, Toribio told Davidson and JEDCO Executive Director Chaz Allen that a property owner in town was unable to secure a loan to develop new subdivision ground because the lender wanted to see an up-to-date housing analysis on the area.

“This is something that would really benefit the whole county because in every one of my hometown pride towns the issue of housing comes up,” Davidson said. “I told Chaz (Allen) housing comes up as an issue, not only the number of platted lots,

Optometrist returns as vision center owner

In Brief

Two YPJC selected for state award Newton Daily News

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Michelle Cazett, O.D. P.C., of Newton, has returned to ownership of the eye center located within the Walmart Supercenter, where she previously had owned 12 years ago. Cazett also owns the vision center located at the Marshalltown Walmart.

Local doctor owns vision center in Walmart

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News With 17 years of experience under her belt, a familiar face and optometrist has made her way back to Newton to take ownership of the vision center located within the Walmart Supercenter.

It’s not the first time Michelle Cazett, O.D. P.C., of Newton, has owned the center. From 1999 to 2004, Cazett owned the vision center before she transferred to the Marshalltown Walmart.

Since September when the lease became available, Cazett began to split her hours between the Newton and Marshalltown location, which she also owns.

“It has been a really exciting year,” Cazett said. “It’s really great to work closer to home.”

Cazett grew up in Pocahontas and then moved to Chicago to

attend the Illinois College of Optometry and she moved to Newton in 1999 for the job opportunity.

She has three children, Cole, 16, Brody, 13, and Brynn, 12, who are all very active in sports. In her spare time, Cazett raises her English bulldogs.

Cazett said she is enjoying getting to know her co-workers and the other doctor who works in the Newton office, Jill Eggers, of State Center.

“What sets us apart, despite the stigma people might have about working at Walmart, is that we get to help people who may not be able to afford to go other places,” Cazett said. “I’m proud that I can help people afford quality eye care.”

Cazett also said most insurance providers are accepted at the center, and if any issues come up

with your eyes, it’s best to address them as soon as possible.

Cazett said a few things she hopes her patients remember is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as being active and not smoking.

“General health can help you take better care of your eyes,” Cazett said.

Throughout Cazett’s career, one thing has been made clear — when you enjoy what you do, you look forward to coming to work every day.

“I’m really grateful, I enjoy my patients,” Cazett said. “It’s really fulfilling.”

The eye center is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

Walk-ins are welcome.

UK Supreme Court hears landmark challenge to Brexit LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Supreme Court began hearing a landmark case Monday that will decide who has the power to trigger the U.K.’s exit from the European Union — the government or Parliament.

The legal battle has major constitutional implications for the balance of power between the legislature and the executive, and has inflamed Britain’s already

raw wound over how and whether to leave the EU. The court’s most senior justice, David Neuberger, opened the four-day hearing by condemning the “threats of serious violence and unpleasant abuse” directed at Gina Miller, one of the claimants trying to ensure Parliament gets a say.

“Threatening and abusing people because they are exercising their

fundamental right to go to court undermines the rule of law,” Neuberger said, banning publication of the addresses of Miller and other parties in the case.

Neuberger and 10 other justices at the country’s top court must decide whether Prime Minister Theresa May’s government can invoke Article 50 of the EU’s key treaty, the trigger for two years of divorce talks, without

ISU Students to present concepts for Maytag Campus Newton Development Corporation AMES — Fifth-year seniors and graduate students from Iowa State University’s landscape architecture department will present revised concepts on how the buildings and greenspace between the DMACC Campus and the former Maytag Corporate Campus can be utilized.

From 1:30 to 5 p.m. Friday at ISU’s College of Art and Design, students will present revisions based on the comments they received at a Nov. 16 presentation of their initial ideas at the Maytag Campus’s Innovation Center in Newton. Professor Caroline Westort had her class in town early this year to meet with several community leaders and to learn the history of the buildings and land surrounding both campuses.

The students toured the complexes and even walked to the downtown square. A few days after the Newton visit the class selected Newton as this semesters’ project.

Westort asked those attending to fill out a comment sheet about what they liked or didn’t like about each concept. She shared the comments with the class and gave them a couple of weeks to refine their presentations before the final review on Friday.

“I was very impressed with what the students presented and the professional manner in which they talked about their concepts. I’m looking forward to seeing their final drawings on (Friday)”, said Frank Liebl, Executive Director of the Newton Development Corporation.

Kim Didier, project manager for the new DMACC property said, “I was blown away by the creativity of the students. They had so many cool and interesting ideas about the space in the context of the broader community. Most of these ideas hadn’t even occurred to me before and I was just so struck by their fresh views and thoughts. We are very fortunate to have had the students work on this project and share their talents with us.”

Local & State News Housing Continued from Page 1A but the different housing types.

Do our communities have housing that will attract young families?”

JEDCO and Hometown Pride have hired Omaha-based RDG Planning and Design to conduct the $13,000 study. The firm will perform five site visits on Dec. 15 and 16, and meet with representatives from each Hometown Pride community.

Results of the study are expected in March 2017.

Bill Gannon is a landowner near Mingo who has a signed easement with Dakota Access, and the pipeline now runs underneath his 900-acre property. He said pipeline workers and Dakota Access representatives were “very cooperative and very professional” during the construction phase.

But Gannon is still opposed to the project and has been since he was first approached by the

Larry & Diana Ambroson Tai Chi May Improve Quality of Life Tai chi is a traditional Chinese mind/body practice of slow, graceful movements and meditation. A study involving 204 patients with knee arthritis suggests that tai chi may help improve physical functioning and reduce pain as well as physical therapy, but with some other added benefits. Half the patients did physical therapy for 6 weeks followed by home exercise for 6 weeks, and the other half did tai chi 2 times a week for 12 weeks. Both groups had reduced pain and better mobility, but the tai chi group showed more improvement in symptoms of depression and overall quality of life.

said the remaining funds will likely come from JEDCO itself.

Davidson said the model of buying an existing, fixer-upper home is becoming “outdated” and doesn’t always work for families with two working parents and after school commitments.

An example is Baxter. Although the community is working on new senior housing with the acquisition of land earlier this year from a former mobile home park, traditional housing starts are priced high. According to Davidson, most new housing starts in Baxter are in the $285,000 range. The community coach sees that price tag as too expensive for the young families the local school district wants to attract.

company in 2014. The Mingo landowner said he wouldn’t be upset if the pipeline never went into operation.

“I think that they didn’t deserve a permit in the first place,” Gannon said Monday morning after hearing the ruling. “They didn’t deserve it in Iowa. If the pipeline stays in the ground and doesn’t carry a drop of oil it wouldn’t bother me a bit.”

Kathy Holdefer owns one acre adjacent to Gannon’s property, and her parcel was listed as an affected property on the first draft of Dakota Access’s proposed route for the project. The pipeline was rerouted off her property, six Pacesetters earned honors at the 2017 state solo competition.

“Each practice, we took time to break down the routine; to focus on the small sections at a time and focus on improving,” she said. “The girls worked extremely hard during practices and dedicated time outside as well. With all of their hard work, we were able to execute a nearly perfect kick routine at state competition on Friday.

Last year, the Pacesetters were fourth in Class III kick behind champion Southeast Polk, runner-up Ankeny Centennial and third-place finisher Davenport West. Newton also took third in Class XII pom and

“Families don’t have time to fix up a house, so we have to make sure we have starter homes that are new homes in that $140,000 to $180,000 price range,” Davidson said.

With housing developments at this price, leaders hope growth in Jasper County towns could maintain steady at roughly 2 percent per year to keep adding property tax dollars for city and public school coffers.

Allen cites Sully as an example of a town implementing an alternative style of housing that is working. The community recently completed a two-unit town home and is starting a second. Leaders hope the JEDCO-Hometown Pride study can give other communities a better

She said she was sitting in a Newton restaurant when the news broke on Sunday. “(It was) perfect because the pipeline affects Jasper County more than any other Iowa county,” she said. “I praise President Obama and the Army Corps of Engineers’ decision to deny the permit.

It’s a huge step forward in our hopes to shut the entire pipeline down. Every single step that every person has taken – from writing a

idea of what will work in their communities.

“When you get someone into an age-specific townhome, you can open up their (current) house for a small family,” Allen said.

One of the key groups RDG representatives will meet with as part of the study is school districts. Davidson said new, affordable housing can also attract teachers who want to live in the communities in which they work.

Meredith said the first-place effort is a testament not only to the hard work of this year’s team, but is also both the result of, and a tribute to, the sweat and tears of hundreds of Pacesetter alumni through the years.

the easement on the final, 1,000-foot section of an 1,200 mile project,” Gerhard said. “This project was denied because of special interest opponents who have already stated their mission is far greater than this particular project. The skilled tradesmen from many communities along the pipeline’s route already preparing for the coming economic boom that will accompany the construction phase of the project were dealt a serious blow by this decision.”

Many Laborers’ International Union of North America members worked on the pipeline in Jasper County, and the group’s president Terry O’Sulli-

van said in a statement Monday that the decision would likely be overturned after the new presidential administration is installed next year.

“Blocking the final portion of construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline after it is 93 percent complete and fully reviewed is a short-sighted, gutless and irresponsible decision.

It only serves to prolong the conflict that is dividing communities in North Dakota and will most certainly be overturned either by the courts or President-Elect Donald Trump who has already made it clear that he intends to allow the project to move forward,” Gerhard said.

market.

One area the market study will not address is incentive packages for builders and buyers.

Offers such as tax abatements or “dollar lots” currently offered by some Jasper County communities will still be decisions made at the local levels.

“There may be some guidance in the report on how valuable those kind of incentives are, but the report is not going to say ‘Colfax, you should have dollar lots.’ That’s still going to be the domain of the city council,” Davidson said. “But it may be something that logically flows out of the report.”

Tour The Maytags are responsible for the imported European light fixtures, the wrought-iron staircase banister and the home’s beautiful woodwork, to name just a few features.

“It was an easy decision for us,” Emily said. “It’s important to share our home with others since there is that historic interest.”

Emily said it was also a good way for her to meet people in the community.

“It has been enjoyable,” she said. “Some people I’ve spoken to on the phone are here and I’ve been able to put a face with a name.”

The event, now in its 31st year, is the sole fundraiser for Newton Dollars for Scholars, which raises money for a variety of scholarships awarded to Newton High School graduates each spring.

“It also is a great cause for children to afford college,” Emily said.

Vice President of Dollars for Scholars, Vicki Wade, welcomed visitors into the McConkey home.

She said they had seen a steady amount of guests already that morning.

The McConkeys were among the five homes featured in the tour.

Just south of Interstate 80, Debbie Eide was enjoying herself as she shared with visitors her Norwegian background and family antiques.

Donn and Debbie Eide live at the 1989 Cape Cod style home at 2386 W. 15th St S. Though it was the couple’s first time being a part of the tour, they have lived in the home for 11 years.

Eide showed visitors paintings, clocks and other memorabilia that belonged to her ancestors from Norway.

Other features in the home were a movie theater and a playroom with murals painted by the “Art Junkie” in Newton.

The play room is for Eide’s eight grandchildren who visit often, considering one of her son’s lives next door.

“I’m very grateful for the community and for Dollars for Scholars coming and supporting this cause,” Eide said.

ach time you pass through the front door of the Newton Daily News you’re met with an opportunity to revisit the past with a collection of significant front pages on display.

The one that most often catches my eye reads “End of an Era” — a headline which marked the day the Maytag closure was announced.

While certainly significant, it most often reminds me of how far the community has come since that day.

As I walk through the newspaper office I sometimes think of my first several months on the job. That uncomfortable feeling of not completely having a handle on a new role.

Learning about new programs, beats, sources and routines. Figuring out how to build the newsroom to meet

my expectations and deliver a product our readers deserve.

Within those first several months I had some key employees who essentially said “it’s not you, it’s me” and moved on to other opportunities.

This meant filling some big shoes and making big decisions on how to move forward.

It turned out to be one of best things that could happen. I was able to bring in other experienced and hard-working journalists who have made a great impact on the newspaper. Two of my staff members followed me to Newton from Marshalltown, another left Nebraska to join our team. We added a new position at our weekly newspapers, and I was able to offer a young man a reporter

position the day before he graduated with a journalism degree.

I once wrote a column about my Newton Daily News colleagues and how we were able to assemble the “Dream Team.” Now, about 2.5 years later, more opportunities have presented themselves and a few members of my dream team are moving on.

Last month we said goodbye to our weeklies reporter Alex Olp who decided to fall in love and move to Des Moines. He will remain working in the newspaper business, and I was thrilled he was able to spend two years out of college working as a report in Jasper County communities.

On Friday we hosted a farewell for Kate Malott who will be joining the Omaha World-Herald. The event drew hundreds of people and made for a great way to say goodbye to one of our beloved employees. If I had to guess how many times I said, “I’m really excited for Kate, but we’ll re-

ally miss her,” it would be in the few dozens range. The same sentiment was expressed between hugs and tears as I left the newsroom Friday.

This week we’ll say goodbye to Jason Brooks who has spent the past two years covering education, politics and anything else I threw his way. He’s been a reporter who has rarely complained about a chaotic schedule, heavy workload and demanding editor. He’s made an impact in Newton and now he’ll move on and do the same at the Boone newspaper, where he’s been named its editor.

While turnover creates some headaches and some heartaches I’m starting to look forward to the next era, to the next chapter and what will hopefully become the next dream team. Look for an introduction to a couple of new hires and announcements in the coming weeks.

Eye on America John Stossel

Drain the swamp President-elect Trump says he’s uniquely qualified to “drain the swamp” in Washington, D.C. He can do it, he said at one debate, because as a businessman, he understands American cronyism. “With Hillary Clinton, I said, ‘Be at my wedding,’ and she came to my wedding. You know why? She had no choice because I gave.”

He said that’s why he gives money to politicians from both parties. “When they call, I give. And when I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for me!”

That’s crony capitalism. Ideally, laws are applied equally; no one gets a special break because he gives money. But today’s complex government allows the politically connected to corrupt ... most everything.

Even parts of the government swamp designed to protect consumers, like Dodd-Frank banking rules, get corrupted. Banks watch little changes in rules far more closely than you ever will. Then they exploit them. Bank lobbyists make money off complex laws like Dodd-Frank. They fight tooth and nail to keep them, not abolish them.

Congress recently almost got rid of one obvious example of crony capitalism, the Export-Import Bank. To encourage exports of American products, bureaucrats give loans to Boeing and other big companies.

Some principled Republicans tried to eliminate this corporate welfare, but Ex-Im loans were voted back in during the final hours of budget negotiations.

Government programs almost never die.

Businesses in cozy relationships with government don’t die either. Jeff Deist, president of the free-market Mises Institute, says when the housing bubble burst, banks should have been allowed to fail and put through “the bankruptcy and liquidation process.”

Investors would have lost big, but that’s OK, says Deist. “That’s the difference between free-market capitalism and state capitalism. With state capitalism, there are upsides for the parties involved — but no downsides.”

In the swamp, no one but taxpayers pay for their mistakes.

Politicians routinely promise to change this culture, but once they get to D.C., they lose interest, says Trump.

“They go to Washington, something happens — they become weak. ... I promise this is not going to happen to me.”

I want to believe him. But even if he were an utterly principled man — and I await evidence of that — it’s tough to constantly say “no” to people.

When you’re in Congress, people ask you for money all day. “I need a grant for my charity — we do so much good!” “My business needs a subsidy/protective tariff — we employ so many people — in your state!” So it goes, week after week.

Few people bother to go to Washington to ask for spending cuts. Even though America is heading toward bankruptcy, 90 percent of congressional testimony comes from people who want more stuff.

Politicians’ cronies get more stuff. Solyndra got half a billion dollars from President Obama. The company went bankrupt, which shouldn’t be a surprise. Government has no way of knowing which ideas will succeed.

But it’s well worth it for companies to invest in lobbyists and fixers who dive into the swamp to extract subsidies.

For taxpayers? Not so much. While the benefits to lobbyists are concentrated, taxpayer costs are diffuse.

Solyndra cost each of us a couple bucks. Will you go to Washington to pester your congressman about that? Probably not.

I want to believe Trump when he says he’ll “drain the swamp.” But it’s easier to believe Thomas Jefferson who, with greater eloquence, said, “It’s the natural progress of things for government to gain ground, and liberty to yield.”

Constituents urged to attend upcoming events As we approach the 87th session of the Iowa General Assembly, I’d like to thank you for electing me to work for you at the Statehouse. I urge all constituents to reach out to me with their issues and concerns so that I may voice them in the coming term.

Many issues need to be addressed. Among the most important are improvements in delivery of Medicaid services and reimbursement to providers,

better access to mental health services, adding more quality local employment opportunities, enhancing water quality and assuring adequate funds for public education.

I plan to hold listening posts in Newton, Colfax and Prairie City in December and early January. At 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sen. Chaz Allen and House Minority Leader Mark Smith will join me in Colfax for a listening post at the Senior Center on the Medicaid privatization issue. On Dec. 17, Sen. Allen and I will be at Uncle Nancy’s in Newton at 10 a.m., and the Colfax Public Library at 11:30 a.m., for two more listening posts to

hear other issues and concerns of constituents. Another scheduled event is the Mayor’s Coffee in Prairie City on Jan. 7. We will join Chad Alleger at the Prairie City Public Library at 8 a.m. We look forward to seeing you at these upcoming events.

Mom stressed by one child should not try for another

DEAR ABBY: My daughter asked me if she should have another child, and based on what I have observed with her first, I definitely feel she shouldn’t. I want a polite way to respond without hurting her feelings, but can’t find the words.

She loves her child, but loses patience quickly. She can’t handle it when her 2-year-old whines or cries. Sometimes she needs to leave the house. Can you help? — DEFINITELY NOT IN OREGON DEAR DEFINITELY NOT: Every parent feels this way sometimes. That’s why God invented grandparents and baby sitters.

However, if you feel your daughter can’t handle the stress, be honest with her and tell her why you have “concerns.”

DEAR ABBY: My daughter has been friends with twin girls for several years. Their parents are divorced, and we’ve always known that money is tight in their family. We invite them over to eat as often as we can, and they know our home is their home and a safe place.

The girls are now all applying to colleges, but the twins have repeatedly expressed concern that they don’t have enough money to pay the ACT submission fees or the college submission fees. They are both working long hours and trying to save money for college.

We are in a position to help them submit these applications, but don’t know how to approach the topic. We are not close with either of their parents. Most important, we don’t want to risk a parent telling the girls they can’t spend time at our home. How can we help? — ENOUGH TO

SHARE DEAR ENOUGH TO SHARE: You are generous and compassionate to want to do this.

Because the girls spend so much time at your home, it’s likely their parents already know their daughters are friendly with your family. I do not think it would be offensive if you were to call the parents and make the offer. If they are reluctant to accept, you could propose it as a “loan” that can be repaid after the girls graduate.

DEAR ABBY: Our daughter got married recently and we discovered dear friends were left off the guest list. We are so upset I have lost sleep over it. How do we make amends? We would never have hurt them like this deliberately. -- UPSET MOTHER OF THE BRIDE DEAR UPSET MOTHER: If your dear friends live far away, pick up the phone and apologize.

If they live close by, arrange to meet for lunch or dinner and offer the apology in person. Weddings are often stressful for those who are planning them. Mistakes like this are regrettable, but not uncommon. If these are true friends, they will understand and forgive the oversight.

ASBURY — A mountain bike group is leading the effort to build more than two miles of dirt trails through wooded land in the eastern Iowa city of Asbury.

The Tri-State Mountain Bike Riders have raised about $50,000 through grants and local contributions for the 2.3-mile trail that will weave through 20 acres of land next to a city park. Work has started on the trail, which bike group member Randy Vannorsdel says will “be like a roller coaster through the woods.”

Gun-rights backers vow to ‘go on offense’ during Trump years

IOWA CITY (AP) — Firearms enthusiasts who embraced Donald Trump’s campaign and his full-throated support of the Second Amendment are expecting a sweeping expansion of gun rights under his administration and a Congress firmly in Republican hands.

Among their priorities: eliminating gun-free zones at schools, reducing requirements for background checks and ensuring that concealed carry handgun permits from one state are recognized everywhere in the U.S. “This is our historic moment to go on offense and to defeat the forces that have aligned against our freedom once and for all,” Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the National Rifle Association, said in a video after the Nov. 8 election. “The individual right to carry a firearm in defense of our lives and our families does not and should not end at any state line.”

In pursuing their agenda, the gun lobby and its GOP supporters could find themselves at odds with two other tenets of Republican orthodoxy: states’ rights and local control.

“It would be ironic to see conservatives who long have professed a belief in states’ rights override states’ choices in this area,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California Irvine School of Law. One of the NRA’s paramount goals is getting Congress to pass a law requiring all states to recognize concealed-carry handgun permits issued by any other state. Currently, many permit holders must leave their weapons at home when traveling or risk violating other states’ laws. NRA supporters say permits should be treated like driver’s licenses.

Trump endorsed the idea during the campaign, but it is likely to face intense opposition from Democrats in states with tight gun restrictions, including California and the president-elect’s home state of New York.

Colfax celebrates annual Country Christmas

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News COLFAX — Despite drizzle being a prelude to the soon-to-be first snowfall Saturday evening, Colfax residents still showed their holiday cheer by visiting Santa Claus and taking carriage rides during the annual Colfax Country Christmas.

Businesses’ lights and sidewalk candles lit up downtown Colfax as families, children and carolers scurried the streets to participate in many of the town’s traditions.

Several traditions remained true such as the letters to Santa Claus station, pictures with Santa at Amanda Utz Photography studio and a scavenger hunt.

While at least 15 families and children waited in line to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas, a handful of carolers and elves popped into the studio to make the waiting more bearable.

Sitting on Santa’s lap was something Jesica Jones, of Colfax, and her children Johnni Jones and Lillie Hellickson were most excited about.

After receiving their free stuffed animals from Santa, the children asked their mother if they could open the rest of their gifts at home. Other excited children wrote letters to Santa, took rides with the Plume Hill Carriage, of Newton, and participated in holiday

Colfax Main Street Board Member and Promotions Committee Chairperson Justin Niceswanger said there was a steady group of attendees throughout the night.

Niceswanger said although they scaled back on some of the regular events this year, like the snowball drop, it has been something different and has been centralized on Colfax’s businesses.

“It’s a nice time to be here and support local businesses,” he said.

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Just enough snow gracefully began to fall Saturday evening and well into the early morning hours Sunday to cover the grass in most yards in Baxter. A few residents took advantage of the opportunity to make a large snowman. Ryan Brynt and his son Jude, 6, rolled snowballs to finish their snowman’s figure. Jude said his favorite part of the snow was being able to play and make a snowman with his dad.

Four Cardinals snare Classic medals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Scheduled early in the season, Newton High’s Cardinal Classic gives the Cardinal wrestlers a good gauge of what they need to work on for the rest of the season.

In Saturday’s 2016 Cardinal Classic, the Cardinal wrestlers faced quality Class 3A and 2A competitors from seven other schools.

Newton seniors Tanner Petro and Brady Smith captured second-place medals in their respective weight classes.

Senior Alex Miller, who lost to two ranked wrestlers at 285, came back to claim the third-place medal. Freshman Blake Iske avenged one of his two losses on the day for third place at 120.

“Our kids have had really good fight all year, and today they competed well up and down the lineup. We have some sickness going through the team, but the kids didn’t let that affect us,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said.

The Cardinals had two more of the 11 who wrestled Saturday in position to earn third-place medals. Sophomore Reece Caves and junior Blayden Rhone came up short at 138 and 182, respectively, in their thirdplace matches.

Newton finished fifth as a team with 107.5 points.

Johnston and Class 3A No. 10 Indianola battled atop the team standings all day with Johnston winning the Cardinal Classic title with 194 points and Indianola in second with 184.

Iowa City High was third with 167 points and Mount Vernon placed fourth with 127 points. Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson was sixth with 106.5 followed by KnoxJocelyn Sheets/Daily News ville with 94.5 and Davenport Newton High senior Tanner Petro, left, lifts up Iowa City High’s Davryn Stewart, right, in their first-round match West with 44 points. of the 170-pound division of Saturday’s 2016 Newton Cardinal Classic. Petro pinned Stewart on his way to a There were more than 10 4-1 run in the tournament, taking the second-place medal in his weight class. ranked wrestlers competing

in the tournament.

Smith and Petro had the same response when asked what went well for them during the tournament.

Both essentially said everything but one match.

Smith lost to Iowa City High’s Jacob Dykes, who is ranked seventh in 3A, 4-3 in the first round of the 195-pound round robin competition. Smith went on a five-match win march to second place.

“My mindset was good all day. I just wrestle who is in front of me on the mat,” Smith said. “I lost to the one guy with 10 seconds left in the match. It made me mad and motivated me. I realized in that match how good I was and can be this year.”

Smith won his next five matches by decisions including an 8-1 win over Indianola’s Reece Bowlin at the end.

“It feels amazing to get a medal here at home, but I don’t believe it will feel as good as being on the podium at the state tournament.

That has been my goal through high school, which is why I play football and lift weights,” Smith said. “It’s all for wrestling and being a state placer.”

Petro went 3-0 in the 170-pound round robin, moving into the championship bracket. He got past Knoxville’s Coby Meyers on a 3-2 decision to advance to the first-place match. Indianola’s Kade Kolarik defeated Petro, 8-4, in the title match.

“My first four matches went well,” Petro said. “I was focused all day. Now, I’m motivated to come back and beat this kid in the conference tournament.”

“I worked on my double-leg takedowns. It’s great to medal here since I didn’t get to wrestle in this last year,” Petro said.

NCMP finishes second at home invitational

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The depth of the Indianola boys swim team is impressive. The Indians’ program brought a lot of swimmers to the Newton Cardinal Invitational on Saturday, but NCMP didn’t back down.

Indianola’s swimmers were loud, and they even carried a flag around with them.

But while NCMP was short on numbers, it wasn’t short on performances at the Newton YMCA. With only 16 swimmers, NCMP still finished second as a team in its home meet. Indianola won the meet with 325 points, NCMP was 27 points back in second and Decorah finished third in the six-team field with 206 points.

“In a couple of events, (Indianola) just had more depth than we did.

We never stopped fighting,” NCMP coach Sarah Patterson said. “They didn’t back down. Indianola had a million people here and even a flag.

Those guys didn’t get intimidated. They were like ‘let’s go.’ That’s what I like to see. I am competitive and I like my team to be that way, too.”

Highlighting NCMP’s

day were Clay Trotter and Caleb Gaylor.

Gaylor broke a nineyear-old record in the 400-meter freestyle.

Gaylor hit the wall in first place, and his time of 4 minutes, 26.65 seconds bested the former record by nearly 3 seconds. Former record holder Lucas Greta finished the race in 4:29.30 in 2007.

“The cool thing about that is that he swam in the event for the first time ever Tuesday night,” Patterson said. “He came a second away that night and told me to put him in it Saturday, and I will get that record. And he blew it away. He just wanted it.

He is a motivated individual.”

That wasn’t the only win for Gaylor. He also was part of the winning medley team and anchored the 200 freestyle relay foursome to a firstplace finish.

In the 400 freestyle relay, Gaylor nearly rallied for the win. He jumped into the pool with a half-length deficit and was out-touched by .59 seconds.

“He’s done that a few times. If we had five more meters, he would have caught him,” Patterson said.

Quick start propels CMB boys to win over C-M

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — A quick timeout was called by Colfax-Mingo boys basketball coach Nick Noring on Saturday.

The Tigerhawks fell down 10-0 against former Heart of Iowa Conference rival Collins-Maxwell/Baxter, and Noring needed to wake his team up.

The timeout did some good, but Colfax-Mingo was too far behind, and the Raiders never lost their early lead during a 68-55 non-conference road victory.

“It was mostly effort on our end,” Noring said. “We came out like we just had Thanksgiving dinner. It was zombie mode. You can’t do that against teams like this. I know we played 24 hours ago, but that’s the nature of the game.

“There just wasn’t any fire. I didn’t have anyone step up and say ‘it’s time to go.’”

On the flip side, CMB got whatever it wanted inside from Will Clapper. The only thing that slowed down the 6-foot-4, 275-pound sophomore were fouls.

Clapper scored six of the Raiders’ first 10 points but was saddled

with fouls most of the night. He still finished with 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds.

Zach Hasselbrink got his first win as CMB’s head coach. He didn’t like a few of the fouls called against Clapper, but it may happen all season given Clapper’s size advantage over nearly everyone he plays.

“He does look unnatural on the basketball court, but he is just moving people because he has a big butt,” Hasselbrink said. ‘It’s hard for the referees to understand that he is just moving people. He’s a big kid, a special athlete and he’ll demand a double team all year.”

When Clapper was on the bench, CMB got a big lift from junior Braydon Aker, who scored nine points and grabbed seven rebounds for the Raiders.

Junior Travis Lindemoen hit a pair of 3-pointers and a converted a layup in the first quarter. The Raiders led 18-8 after eight minutes of action.

The lead grew to 25-10 after a 7-0 run early in the second quarter. Aker went to work in the post when Clapper went out of the game. His first bucket gave CMB a 13-point lead and BOYS | 5B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Braydon Aker buries a hook shot over Colfax-Mingo’s Reegan Van Dyke during the Raiders’ win Saturday in Colfax. Aker scored nine points and grabbed seven rebounds in the victory.

Raiders use size advantage to dispatch Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls basketball coach Eric Padget admitted Saturday he didn’t put a lot of time into game planning for a non-conference battle with Colfax-Mingo on Saturday.

But his strategy of getting the ball to his post players paid off in a big way.

Like last year’s win in Maxwell, the Raiders took advantage of a drastic size advantage and wore down the Tigerhawks during a 57-42 road victory.

It didn’t matter who the Raiders went to. They all had a little success inside the paint.

“We didn’t have a lot of time to gameplan. This is the third game of the week and it’s the only non-conference game so our game planning is really for conference games,” CMB coach Eric Padget said.

“I didn’t know what to expect, but getting the ball inside is always our gameplan.”

While junior Mikayla Eslinger and seniors Sydney Ziesman and Kathleen Baldwin were scoring inside, junior Brianda Bane was hitting from outside and junior Sailor Hin-

egardner got to the basket off the dribble.

Bane finished with a teamhigh 13 points, while Hinegardner added 11 and Eslinger and Ziesman each scored eight.

The Raiders scored their

first four buckets inside the lane, took an 8-0 lead and led by as many as 15 points in the first quarter.

Colfax-Mingo rallied behind the inside play of senior Dakota Hostetter and the outside shooting of sophomore

Mackensie Brown. The Tigerhawks got within five in the third quarter before running out of gas.

PCM boys bury 10 treys in win over Eagles

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — With three-year starter and 1,000-point scorer Logan Gilman gone to graduation, Prairie City-Monroe boys basketball coach Fred Lorensen feels like this year’s squad could have a different leading scorer every night.

For now, junior Jackson Thomas is taking advantage of his opportunities.

Thomas led the Mustangs for the second straight game, and his 16 points guided PCM to an easy 73-34 win over Saydel during Heart of Iowa Conference play Friday night.

“We kind of wonder where the points are going to come from this year because we only brought back 23 percent of our scoring,” Lorensen said. “We should be pretty balanced. It’s an unselfish team, and it will be a mystery each night as far as who leads us in scoring.”

PCM used two 7-0 runs to gain an advantage in the first quarter and cruised to the victory after knocking down 10 3-pointers.

Thomas connected on two of those treys, including a buzzer-beater that ended the first quarter.

“My shots were falling early, and the guys are doing a good job of getting me the ball in transition,” Thomas said.

Thomas collected six rebounds, six assists and three steals in the win, while junior Elijah Sperfslage scored 10 points, grabbed four rebounds and handed out four assists.

The Mustangs (2-0 overall, 2-0 in the HOIC) led 19-6 after one quarter. Freshman Jason Stafford came into the game

in the second quarter and buried back-to-back triples to put PCM up 25-9. Stafford drilled three 3-pointers and finished with nine points.

The second quarter also featured back-toback buckets by sophomore Nick Dredge and 3-point makes by Thomas and sophomore Reed Worth. The Mustangs led the Eagles 39-12 at the halftime.

Lorensen went deep into his bench in the first half. He is still trying to figure out who fits where in the lineup.

“We had some guys in foul trouble, and we are still trying to get a feel of what we have,” Lorensen said. “That may change as we go. If someone is playing well at the time, we’ll use them.”

Sophomore Andrew Van Ryswyk, one of the two returning starters for PCM, did not score in the first half for the second straight game.

He battled foul trouble but scored five points in the third quarter and

grabbed seven rebounds in the game.

Freshman Derek Brown scored all eight of his points in the second half. His trey at the end of the third pushed PCM’s lead to 58-24.

“We still have a lot of stuff we need to work on. I like where we are at,” Lorensen said. “I like seeing the young guys out there having success.

That’s pretty cool.”

Junior Dayton Boell put in all six of his points in the fourth quarter. He also grabbed four boards in the game.

Senior Mark Bruxvoort chipped in six points and four rebounds, Worth tallied five points, a team-high four assists and three steals.

The Mustangs will go outside of the HOIC for a 7 p.m. game Monday at Pella Christian. PCM returns to HOIC play at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when it takes on CMB in Baxter.

MONROE — Kayla Jennings came into Friday’s game with a little apprehension. Her shot was off in the Mustangs’ win over Roland-Story a few days before, and the shots continued to be off target in warmups.

But when the game began, Jennings simply couldn’t miss.

Jennings scored 13 of her teamhigh 16 points in the first quarter, and the Class 3A No. 13 Mustangs’ defense took care of the rest during a 68-15 win over Saydel in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

“The shots fell tonight. I was a little worried coming in though,” Jennings said. “I just didn’t play very well against Roland-Story.”

PCM scored the game’s first 19 points of the game, led 26-5 after one quarter and held the Eagles to single digits in each of the four quarters.

“I was glad we didn’t let up tonight,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

“We needed to keep playing. Our game is to go. That’s not trying to be disrespectful. We just still have room to grow, too.”

Jennings’ first bucket came inside the lane. The rest of her 11 points in the period came from outside as her jump shot was on target. She added six steals to her 16-point effort.

Senior Lexi Timmins scored the first five points of the second quarter and scored a career-high 10 points in

the game.

Kaylee Townsend’s putback late in the second quarter put the Mustangs up 41-9 at the break. She also put back a miss at the end of the third quarter, and PCM held Saydel scoreless in the frame.

“It was a good balanced effort,” Lindsay said. “We should be able to go to Kaylee inside in a game like this. She has plenty of experience and she should be able to do that.

“I am hoping this effort gets some of the girls some confidence and can get a jump start moving forward.”

Scoring six points in the first and six more in the third, Townsend scored a season-high 14 points in the game.

Senior Katie Vande Wall added 10 rebounds, freshman Regan Freland chipped in nine points, six assists and four steals and senior Rachel Stafford tallied five points, seven assists and four rebounds.

“We can count on a lot of players on this team,” Jennings said. “That’s what makes us this team great. We have plenty of depth.”

At 4-0 overall, PCM enters the week with an average margin of victory at 36.5.

The Mustangs’ toughest test to date comes on the road at 6 p.m. Monday against 2A No. 9 Pella Christian.

At 285, Miller’s losses came against Class 3A fourthranked Eagan Lickiss, Indianola, by a pin and eighthranked Jake Ryan, Johnston, by a 3-2 decision. Ryan upended Lickiss in the championship match.

“It means a lot to medal here at home since I was wrestling heavyweight today against a lot of good guys. I’ll be wrestling at 220 the rest of the season,” Miller said.

Iske won his first two matches of the day then lost two. The second lost was to 3A fourth-ranked Koby Pritchard of Indianola. Iowa City High’s Ryan Ceynar defeated Iske 7-6 in round-robin action, but Iske beat Ceynar 6-3 for third place.

“Winning a medal feels pretty good today,” Iske said.

Caves and Rhone placed fourth at 138 and 182 as did sophomore Coltin Whitten at 152 pounds.

Sophomore Blake Cockerton and junior Ross Hull finished fifth for the Cardinals in the 113 and 126-pound classes, respectively.

Taking sixth were junior Tristin Langmaid at 160 and freshman Noah Cook at 132 pounds.

“I was pleased with the way all of our kids wrestled today,” Swedenhjem said. “We have to work on setting up our shots, and just cleaning up our techniques.”

Newton has the week to prepare for Friday and Saturday’s Council Bluffs Wrestling Classic hosted by Council Bluffs Lewis Central.

Hawk basketball teams go 4-0 over weekend L-S sweeps SICL doubleheader

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Playing at home against North Mahaska’s Warhawk teams, Lynnville-Sully’s girls and boys posted South Iowa Cedar League conference wins Friday night.

L y n n v i l l e - S u l l y ’s Hawk girls were locked in a close battle with North Mahaska, trailing 21-20 to the visiting Warhawks at halftime.

The turning point came in the third quarter as the Hawks cranked up their defensive effort holding the Warhawks to two points. Lynnville-Sully poured in 11 points to take the lead, but had to hold off a North Mahaska run at the end to win 46-37.

Giving up no points in the first eight minutes of play while firing in 16 points provided Lynnville-Sully’s boys the clear edge against North Mahaska. The Hawks beat the Warhawk boys, 55-37.

“We played solid defense for most of the game,” Hawk boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “Hopefully we can finish a little stronger the next night out. We did a better job on the boards than we did on Tuesday.

Hopefully we can keep making strides in that area.”

At halftime, the Hawks led the Warhawks, 27-10. Lynn-

ville-Sully pushed to a 43-16 advantage after three quarters.

Brevin Hansen hit 3 3-pointers on his way to a team-high 15 points for the Hawks. Rylan James did damaged down low with 10 points. Jesse Van Wyk pulled nine rebounds and dished out five assists. Tyler Van Zante had four assists.

Ryan Hofer added seven points and Drake Ehresman had six points. Van Wyk, Tyson Vander Linden and John Trettin each had four points. Van Zante scored three points and Kemper Lukehart had two points.

Lynnville-Sully shot 39 percent, 22-of-56, from the field and went 3-of-10 at the free-throw line. The Hawks had a 39-28 edge in rebounding.

North Mahaska got 12 points and eight rebounds from Brant Fleener. The Warhawks went 14-of-46 from the field for 30 percent and hit 5-of-17 free throw attempts.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls used defense to fuel their second-half run against North Mahaska.

They turned a halftime deficit into a 31-23 lead by the end of the third quarter.

“I thought the girls played fairly well tonight on defense. In the first half we had a few break downs, but in the second half we played great team defense,” Lynnville-Sul-

Girls Continued from Page 2B Saturday’s loss after expending a high amount of energy in a come-from-behind win over HLV the night before.

“We put out a lot of physical and emotional energy to come back (Friday), and it took a toll (Saturday),” Colfax-Mingo coach Larry Roberts said. “We came out and went on a little run in the second half. You could still see though that we weren’t turning a corner.”

The Raiders led 14-5 after one quarter and then scored seven of the first eight in the second to go up 21-6. Hostetter kept the game close with back-to-back buckets and then Brown hit the first of her four 3-pointers in the game to close the gap to seven.

Bane scored six of her 11 first-half points in the final 3 minutes of the second quarter.

That helped the Raiders extend the halftime lead to 14.

Like the night before, Col-

Boys Continued from Page 2B then a 3-point play kept the advantage in double-digits later in the quarter. CMB led 32-20 at halftime.

“It didn’t change our gameplan at all (when Will had to come out of the game),” said senior Hunter McWhirter, who finished with eight points, 11 rebounds and five steals. “We have several guys that can play the post and be physical down there. We want to get them the ball and let them eat.

“It was good for Braydon to come in and help us out.

We need that from him and whoever else comes in.”

The Tigerhawks played with the Raiders point-forpoint after the slow start.

They trailed by 10 not even three minutes into the game and lost by 13.

They are still playing

ly girls’ head coach Jerry Hulsing said. “Being able to hold NM to two points in a quarter was big.”

Both teams shot 42 percent from the field and hit six free throws.

The Hawks held a 3322 rebounding edge against the Warhawks.

They scored 14 second -chance points to North Mahaska’s seven, and converted Warhawk turnovers into 13 points.

“Our offense was OK. It was good to see us execute with the game on the line. I liked how we attacked the boards and got several second chance points,” Hulsing said.

Carson Fisk led the Hawks with 13 points.

Jelissa Rozendaal had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Brenna Lanser dished out four assists, had three steals and scored six points.

Mariah Vos added eight points and Camryn Russell had six points.

Jataya Meyer scored two points for the Hawks.

North Mahaska got 13 points and five steals from Kassidi Steel and 11 points from Paige Layman.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls moved to 3-0 in South Iowa Cedar League action and the Hawk boys are 2-0 in SICL play.

fax-Mingo rallied in the second half. This time though, it wasn’t quite enough.

A 9-0 run to start the third drew the Tigerhawks (1-3) to within five, and Colfax-Mingo got Baldwin to commit her fourth foul.

Hinegardner then banked in a 3-pointer, and CMB stole back momentum when it scored inside following a five-shot possession.

“They came back against HLV the night before, too. I told the girls that at halftime,” Padget said. “They came out with a lot of intensity in the second half, and we didn’t match it. They expanded a lot of energy and probably just ran out of gas. We were able to get some key buckets that put it away.”

Roberts said the Raiders’ five-shot possession was probably the Tigerhawks’ undoing.

“Unfortunately, CMB attacks the boards hard and that’s our weakness,” Roberts said. “We got the deficit to six points or so and then they had without their all-conference forward Jarod Nichols and Misha Seebeck. Nichols injured his ankle in the season opener and Seebeck missed his second straight game after getting his Wisdom teeth pulled late last week.

“It’s easy to say that if we had Jarod (Nichols) we would have won this game, but the reality is someone else needs to step up,” Noring said. “I think their posts just worked harder than we did. Their big guy was moving and doing what he needed to do and our guys were in cruise control.”

Clapper hit back-to-back buckets in the third quarter before picking up another early foul.

That brought Aker back into the game, and the junior hit two more baskets inside the lane to keep CMB (12) in front by 11 after three quarters.

Hawk teams deck the Rockets

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

EDDYVILLE — Going on the road and winning is always tough.

Lynnville-Sully’s basketball teams played back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday, winning on both days at home and on the road.

After sweeping a conference doubleheader at home Friday night, the Hawk girls and boys turned around to win a non-conference twin bill Saturday against Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. The Hawk girls improved to 4-0 on the season with a 41-31 win over the Rockets while the Hawk boys rolled to 3-0 with a 70-52 victory.

“Once again, we played very well defensively. The girls did a good job of keeping EBF out of the lane on penetration and being ready to help on defense, and did a good job on the boards,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach Jerry Hulsing said. “All three keys we talked about in our pregame, so I am very please how the girls executed.”

In the girls’ game, the Hawks outscored the Rockets 16-7 in the first quarter and led 21-15 at halftime. Lynnville-Sully maintained its lead with a 7-5 scoring edge in the third period, and finished it off by outscoring EBF 13-11 in the final eight minutes.

Brenna Lanser fired in a gamehigh 16 points, dished out five assists and grabbed six rebounds. Mariah Vos chipped in 11 points and snatched four steals. Carson Fisk had eight points, seven rebounds and three steals.

Lynnville-Sully got five points from Camryn Russell and a point from Jataya Meyer.

The Hawks shot 47 percent, 16-of34, from the field and went 7-of-11 at the free-throw line. They had 29 turnovers.

“Offense we struggled with taking care of the ball, we had too many unforced turnovers,” Hulsing said. “For

a five-shot possession. One of those five shots is going to be a layup, and they made the layup. That’s the kind of stuff that when you’re already dragging that puts your face in the sand.”

The Raiders (3-2) led by 10 after three quarters and me that he can be relied on,” Hasselbrink said. “He was outstanding tonight.”

Freshman Brady Berkey nailed a trey early in the fourth quarter to get the Tigerhawks (1-2) within nine. Clapper followed that 3-pointer with another basket and a free throw. Colfax-Mingo didn’t get closer than 10 the rest of the way.

Clapper scored 11 of his 23 in the final frame.

“This one is important because it’s win No. 1 for me,” Hasselbrink said. “It was good to get this one tonight because next week’s slate is going to be tough.”

Lindemoen hit three 3-pointers and finished with 12 points and six steals for CMB. Freshman Cole Damman added nine points, 10 steals and nine rebounds.

Sophomore Ian Thomson also had five steals. CMB finished with 27 steals total.

Junior Reegan Van Dyke

the most part we did a good job of moving the ball and finding the open girl. It was good to see us get out and run the floor resulting in some easy baskets.”

The Rocket girls were led by Briana VerSteegh with 12 points as the Rockets shot 37 percent, 13-of-35, from the field. Taryn Swartz had six steals. The Rockets had 28 turnovers.

Lynnville-Sully’s boys led early but trailed 30-28 at halftime. The Hawks took command of the game against the Rockets with a 26-10 scoring run in the third quarter and didn’t let up.

“It was a good night for our team.

We had to get tough in the second half,” Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “We played a lot better defense in the second half, and I thought that got us going offensively.”

Rylan James was the force inside for the Hawks with 23 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots. Tyler Van Zante scored 18 points and had two steals. Jesse Van Wyk tossed in 14 points, grabbed six rebounds and handed out six assists.

Brevin Hansen dished out eight assists and scored eight points. Tyson Vander Linden had seven points while Ryan Hofer had five rebounds and two steals.

The Hawk boys shot 49 percent, 27-of-55, from the field, hitting six 3-pointers. They were 10-of-15 at the line. Lynnville-Sully had 32 rebounds and 20 assists.

The Rockets got 12 points from Gabe Larkin and 10 points from Peyton Walker. They shot 36 percent, 21of-58, from the field and hit 6-of-21 free throw attempts.

Lynnville-Sully’s teams go to HLV on Thursday and host Montezuma on Friday.

then quickly pushed it to 14 when Hinegardner and senior Emily Coughenour converted layups at the offensive end. A 6-0 spurt by Colfax-Mingo got the deficit to eight, but that’s as close as it got.

CMB ended the game on an 11-4 run to put it away.

Six of those points came from Ziesman, who also grabbed six boards, dished out three assists and had six steals in the win.

Hinegardner had three assists and three steals to go with her 11 points. Padget challenged his junior point guard at halftime, and she responded with a strong second half.

“I wanted her to drive the ball to the basket,” Padget said. “She did that, and it opened up a lot of opportunities near the basket.”

Bane’s 13 points was one off a season high. She is still trying to find her outside shot after missing all of last year with an ACL injury.

Still, with her and Coughenour both back in the line-

up, the Raiders have already matched their win total from last season.

“I am getting there. The shot still needs more work.

I’ll keep working on it,” Bane said. “Having to watch last year was pretty painful.”

Hostetter scored a season-high 16 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out four assists for the Tigerhawks. Brown also reached double-figures with 13. She added four boards.

“We need to play more basketball as a team,” Roberts said. “Some of our turnovers are literally passes to the other team.

“I can’t fault our effort. The kids work hard. We were just a little tired.”

Junior Alex Lewis added 16 points, three rebounds, three assists and three steals, while Berkey chipped in 12 points and three steals. Sophomore Holister Koenig finished with eight points and seven boards.

There’s no clear definition of what your role is supposed to be in the social scenario at hand. Choose a fantasy model to help you navigate this weirdness more comfortably.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It is when you don’t need the relationship/job/deal (yet are still fascinated by the challenge of it) that you are the likeliest to get a good offer. There is something powerfully attractive in self-sufficiency.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ve a lot to offer today and many takers -- so many in fact that there’s no time to waste on the unappreciative. The

one who starts to give you a problem is better let go early on. You’re better off without high-maintenance customers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The avoidance of worry is a form of worry. It’s a struggle to avoid struggle and a pain to avoid pain. In light of this, avoid avoidance altogether.

To the victor go the spoils.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). When you see them all line up and start marching in one direction, there’s something inside you that wants to do an about-face and dance yourself in the opposite trajectory. It’s not that they are wrong and you are right; it’s just that it’s your job to challenge conformity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There will be humble domestic chores and errands to

contend with. If left undone, they would make your life overly and unnecessarily complicated. That automatically relegates them to the status of “very important.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The big aims come with big sacrifices, but don’t let that deter you. Everything involves a sacrifice. The trick is to find a sacrifice you’re well-matched to so it doesn’t seem so bad.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When you were younger, you tried to avoid embarrassment at all costs. Now you realize that embarrassment is a rite of passage on the way to becoming proficient at something worthwhile. .

Newton boys down Indianola in LHC Class 5A No. 2 Indianola overpower Newton girls

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News INDIANOLA — Execution was key for the Newton High boys’ 57-40 victory Friday over host Indianola in the Little Hawkeye Conference opener for both teams.

Going 15-of-19 from the free-throw line in the second half also helps.

Newton High’s girls had a tall task going into Friday’s LHC opener against the Iowa

Class 5A second-ranked Indianola girls. The Indians overwhelmed the Cardinals, 81-21.

The Cardinal boys quickly went to an 18-10 lead after one quarter of play, but the Indians outscored them 12-6 in the second period to narrow the gap. It was a nip-and-tuck third quarter with Newton leading 36-32.

“We executed well in the fourth quarter, getting the ball into the hands of the guys

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Marcelina Marvelli drilled two 3-pointers for the Cardinal girls Friday in an 81-21 loss against host Indianola, which is ranked No. 2 in Iowa Class 5A.

Iowa State WR Lazard to return for senior season AMES (AP) — Standout Iowa State wide receiver Allen Lazard will return for his senior season.

Lazard caught 69 passes as a junior in 2016, including seven for touchdowns, and his 1,018 yards rank third in school history.

Lazard also averaged seven catches for 114 yards in his final five games, coinciding with quarterback Jacob Park’s elevation to the starting job.

The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Lazard, who grew up in nearby Urbandale, was one of the Lazard most highly sought recruits the Cyclones ever landed in 2014. Lazard has lived to his promise, with 170 career grabs for 2,419 yards. The Cyclones finished 3-9 in 2016 despite averaging nearly 30 points in conference games, a program-high since the Big 12 was formed.

“Our football team made a lot of strides this past year,” Lazard said. “Coach (Matt) Campbell has this program going in the right direction and the enthusiasm and excitement within the locker room is extremely high.”

Lazard’s return will boost expectations in 2017 for Iowa State, which made strides this season despite winning just two league games.

The Cyclones also will bring back talented left tackle Jake Campos, who broke his leg early in fall camp and missed all of last season. Park and backup Joel Lanning are expected to return, as are running back David Montgomery and young receiver DeShaunte Jones.

Iowa State has holes to fill on defense, and its offensive line could be in flux until September because of graduations, the development of younger players and some possible additions through transfers.

But Lazard’s return is a big boost to a program hoping to reach its first bowl game since 2013 next season.

who could make the plays and make free throws,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said. “Indianola was well prepared for us, but our guys worked hard to get the win.”

Newton pulled away from Indianola with a 23-10 run in the fourth quarter. All of the Cardinal boys’ free throw makes came in the second half.

The Cardinals shot 40 percent, 19-of 47, from the field.

Garrett Sturtz fired in 17 points, going 9-of-10 at the free-throw line and had seven rebounds and four assists.

Connor Gholson and Trey Vanderlaan each added 11 points. Vanderlaan dished out five assist and had three steals.

Liley said he was pleased Newton outrebounded a bigger team for a second straight game, 29-27. Josh Ventling pulled down six rebounds and Gholson had five rebounds.

Evan Gauger tossed in 17 points for Indianola. The Indians shot 29.5 percent, 13of-44, from the field and were 10-of-12 at the line.

Newton lost the boys’ junior varsity game, 53-47, and lost the freshman contest, 60-46. Kyle Long fired in six 3-pointers on his way to 20 points for the junior varsity and Grant Garvis added 13 points. For the NHS freshmen, Blake Sevenbergen had 12 points and Kaleb Dydell had 10 points.

Newton’s girls, who hadn’t played since Nov. 22, struggled against the Indians from the start. The Cardinals faced a 20-7 first-quarter deficit and trailed 50-14 at halftime.

“They are extremely good, and there’s not a weak player on their roster,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said of Indianola. “They pressed us early. We had 23 turnovers in the game.”

The Indians return four of their starting five from a 5A state-tournament qualifying season a year ago. Indianola is in its first year as a member of the LHC, which has four ranked girls’ teams — the Indians in 5A, and in Class 4A,

NCMP Continued from Page 1B NCMP started the afternoon with a win in the medley relay. The team finished second on the scoreboard, but Indianola was disqualified. The winning NCMP team included Jacob Nedder, Carter Briggs, Gaylor and Trotter. They finished the race in 2:01.09.

Gaylor and Trotter teamed up to win the 200 freestyle relay, too.

Their teammates in that one were Logan Heisdorffer and Paul Maharry, and they won the race with a time of 1:4.,73.

“I don’t care if we win or lose,” Trotter said. “It matters that we have a lot of team spirit. This team is working together, and we know that we can compete. We had fun today.”

Trotter grabbed a win in the 50 freestyle and was the leadoff swimmer in the 400 freestyle relay that took second.

“The 50 freestyle win felt good,”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Connor Gholson collects a rebound during a home game recently. Gholson helped the Cardinal boys notch a 57-40 win Friday against host Indianola.

Pella is No. 1, Grinnell is No. 5 and Dallas Center-Grimes is 14th.

Marcelina Marvell hit two 3-pointers for a team-leading six points for Newton. Ellie Horn had four points and four rebounds. Taylor Shipley dished out three assists and Randi Walters made two steals.

Newton shot 19 percent, 7-of-37, from the field. The Cardinals sank 4-of-7 free throw attempts. They had 20 rebounds.

Grace Berg paced Indianola with 21 points. Maggie McGraw had 16 points and Haley Vesey had 15 points.

Trotter said. “I told the Indianola swimmer who got second after he beat me in the dual earlier this year that I was going to swim the 50 here and beat him. His response was ‘good luck with that.’

“I was excited. So much joy after that one. That one felt good.”

In other individual events, Adam Hunter placed second in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:19.12, Heisdorffer was second in the 100 freestyle in 1:02.73 and Briggs and Paul Maharry were third and fourth, respectively, in the 100 breaststroke. Briggs also placed fourth in the 200 Individual Medley.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the guys,” Patterson said. “Some of these kids have never swam in an invitational before. That’s a big deal. To see six teams in the pool and it being so loud, they did well.

“Usually, if you win in a meet, you start to understand why we work so hard. You have to understand the competitive thing or else practice can be a drag. Practice is

Newton’s junior varsity girls lost to Indianola, 49-39, with Rachel Rhoads scoring 13 points and Peyton Maher with 12 points. The freshman girls lost 50-7 and Jenna Smith scored three points.

The Newton boys (2-0) are home Tuesday in non-conference games against Nevada.

The Newton girls (1-3) and the boys step out of the conference to play at Marshalltown Thursday. They go to DCG next Friday in conference action.

hard.”

Indianola was too much to overcome mostly because of its depth.

While NCMP was collecting runner-up finishes, the Indians went 1-3 in the 100 and 200 freestyle, the 100 backstroke and 2-3 in the 200 IM. Indianola had the team title wrapped up before the final race, but that didn’t stop NCMP from trying to finish on a high note.

Gaylor jumped into the pool in second place. He had a half a pool length to make up the difference, and nearly did just that.

“Our relays are jelling. The guys are buying in. They know I am not just blowing smoke,” Patterson said.

The rest of the six-team field included Grinnell in fourth place, while Oskaloosa was fifth and Vinton-Shellsburg came in sixth.
