Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Colfax Mayor-elect David Mast, left, and bicycle enthusiast Pete Parvi, of Colfax, plot out potential paved trail routes Tuesday at Colfax-Mingo Jr./Sr. High School that would run near the future Colfax North Park development. Parvi would like to see Tuesday’s countywide trail planning meeting lead to more opportunities for recreational trail users.

Iowa Heartland hosts final county trail planning session

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News COLFAX — Imagine riding a bicycle from Prairie City to Saylorville Lake on a paved trail, passing through Colfax and peddling to the Chichaqua Valley Trail in Mingo. What would be the quality of life benefits of an equestrian trail loop which circles eastern Jasper County?

That’s exactly what 26 Jasper County leaders and community members did Tuesday night at Colfax-Mingo Jr./Sr. High School during the last in a series of public multi-use trail planning sessions.

The public meetings in Jasper,

Marion, Madison and Warren counties over the last two years have been facilitated by Iowa Heartland Resource, Conservation & Development to develop four countywide trail masterplans through grants from the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program.

Routes plotted by attendees on provided county maps will be used to draft a countywide trail masterplan. According to the timeline presented in Colfax, Iowa Heartland and RTCA will consolidate the maps and draft a preliminary plan. After a review period in March and April 2016, RTCA

representative Brian Leaders said the plans will be finalized and presented to the respective county boards of supervisors and conservation boards in May 2016, with a recommendation to adopt the trail proposal as part of their respective county comprehensive plan.

Iowa Heartland and RTCA will provide officials and nonprofits developing the trails further assistance in obtaining funding for the projects. With every mile of a paved trail construction costing approximately $250,000, according to Leaders, fundrasing is a key obstacle.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News North Fourth Avenue West from West Eighth Street North to West 15th Street North was approved for reconstruction during the 2016 season by the Newton City Council on Monday

needing reconstruction in the city’s Community Investment Plan.

Council member Jeff Price, who serves Ward 1 where it is located, was happy to see it on the agenda before his term was up.

“Four years ago I was walking streets and this

was one of the main concerns of my ward ... now we have 80 percent of that (funding) taken care of to get this project on its way,” Price said. “I’m very happy to see this being taken care of.”

City staff will be tasked with designing

the reconstruction this winter with ground breaking planned for later in 2016. The city anticipates by using in-house design time it might contribute approximately $40,000 of the 20 percent share the city is responsible for.

According to the council report, the city’s STP account balance with the Central Iowa Regional Transportation Planning Alliance as of October 2015 was $1,156,393. Annually, the city is programmed to receive $357,707 of STP funds per year.

In the fall of 2016, when the project is complete, the estimated STP account balance will be about $1,134,000. That also brings into account approximately $300,000 of unused STP funds from the East 31st Street south project.

A drug warrant search of a Newton home Monday turned up a crystal methamphetamine pipe and the arrest of two occupants, but questions remain regarding the discovery of an explosive device that led to a neighborhood evacuation and use of a bomb squad.

Tuesday, Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess tried to answer some of those questions — including why a state misdemeanor charge was the only charge, and why the man and woman who were arrested were released after posting a small bond.

The U.S. Postal Inspector’s Service, with the assistance of the Mid-Iowa Narcotics Task Force, was executing a federal search warrant at the residence, discovering both a glass crystal methamphetamine pipe, along with a “suspected explosive device” located inside.

This led to the arrest of David L. Kelso, 44, and Jennifer A. Kelso, 35, who were taken to Jasper County Jail. It also led to an evacuation of a west-side Newton neighborhood during the afternoon commute, at a time when many children were out of school.

David and Jennifer Kelso were both able to post their $300 bonds Monday night and were released. They were charged only with possession of drug paraphernalia, a simple misdemeanor, although Burdess said other charges are pending.

City approves plans to reconstruct North Fourth Avenue West Newton’s North Fourth Avenue West will be reconstructed next year after city council on Monday entered an agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation. The pavement restoration project will extend from West Eighth Street North to West 15th Street North.

The project has a total cost of $850,000 and is qualified to receive surface transportation program funds from the Federal Highway Administration as a federal-aid classified road. Using the federal program, the city has to provide a 20 percent local match totaling $170,000. The funds will be paid from the 2015 bond proceeds.

About 80 percent of the project, $680,000, will be paid through federal funding.

In Brief Kellogg Christian to host Sounds of Inspiration Kellogg Christian Church will host a performance from local gospel group Sounds of Inspiration at 5 p.m. Saturday at the church, 321 Bolton St. in Kellogg.

Music from Tom Anderson will be featured during intermission.

Freewill donations will be accepted for the performance.

Our Savior to host church choir performance Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Route 146 Youth Group, a part of Newton Church of Thy Way’s youth ministry, is holding a drive-thru food drive to benefit the Newton Salvation Army from 6 to 7 p.m. Saturday and 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Sunday.

The Way’s Route 146 Youth Group holding food drive-thru

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News In the spirit of the season of giving, the Newton Church of The Way’s Route 146 Youth Group and its leaders are holding a food drive to benefit the Newton Salvation Army.

Route 146 Youth Group consists of kids in seventh through 12th grade who attend The Way or participate in the group.

Running from 6 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, the group will be operating a drive-thru drop off to collect food and product donations.

From 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Route 146 will hold a parking collection, gathering donations from cars as they park for church as well as in the coat room.

“After talking with The Salvation Army and others who volunteer there, it is clear there is a

high need in the food pantry. The Salvation Army has always been a great resource for us at The Way, and they do a great job serving those in the community. We wanted to help bless those in the community and show the light of our savior this Christmas season,” office manager Tricia Groves said.

“We talked about clever ways to collect without people having to get out of their cars and thought about the “drive-thru” on Saturday and sending the youth out to cars as they come to church on Sunday.”

On Saturday, cars can drive through The Way parking lot, entering the east side and drop off the food from their cars.

Groves said the church has collected food for the Salvation Army before, but never to this extent.

“We are hoping to not only

reach our members with this food drive, but anyone in the community that is interested in donating for a good cause,” Groves said.

For those interested in donating, suggested foods include macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles, canned fruit, tuna helper, canned tuna or chicken, boxed potatoes, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, canned veggies and canned soup.

For more information, contact the church office at 641-7927300 or info@theway146.com.

The church encourages anyone who can not attend the event but still would like to make a donation to go directly to the Salvation Army during its business hours.

The festive musical gives a fresh perspective of Christmas by taking a closer look at the compassionate heart of Mary. The choir consists of twenty-five members and will be directed by Julie Dlouhy. Other musical guests that evening include a piano solo by Miranda Ervin and organist Joy McGinley.

A candlelight reception will follow the musical performances.

Sacred Heart to host annual Christmas Bingo The Knights of Columbus of Council 2663 from Sacred Heart Catholic Church will host its annual Christmas Bingo at 7 p.m. Saturday at McCann Center in Newton.

There will be a variety of 20 Bingo games played.

Admission is free. Freewill offering will be accepted.

Cabinet secretary urges US to avoid suspicion of Muslims WASHINGTON (AP) — Vilifying and casting suspicion on American Muslims would threaten counterterrorism efforts and is un-American, the Homeland Security secretary said Monday at the nation’s second-largest mosque, as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed banning all Muslims from entering the U.S. Secretary Jeh Johnson, after asking Muslims to report anyone in their communities

suspected of turning toward violence, declined to respond directly to Trump’s proposal.

Trump announced his idea during Johnson’s meeting.

“I don’t comment on what candidates for office say during this political season,” Johnson said afterward. He would not otherwise answer questions about Trump’s comments.

Johnson was participating Monday in a round-table discussion on civil rights and liberties at the All Dulles Area

Muslim Society Center in Sterling, Virginia. He said the U.S. government needs to take a new approach to counterterrorism and homeland security that includes outreach to Muslim communities.

“Terrorist organizations overseas have targeted your communities. They seek to pull your youth into the pit of violent extremism. Help us to help you stop this,” Johnson said. “If you see someone turning toward violence, say some-

thing. Say something to law enforcement, or to one of your community or religious leaders. When people self-radicalize, someone close to them is almost always in a position to see the signs.”

Johnson said, “Over and over again, in the life of this nation, there have been classes of people who, by virtue of their race, religion or nationality, exist on the margins of society, who are the object of prejudice, scorn and suspicion,

and seek to win acceptance.”

The discussion came on the heels of President Obama’s address to the nation Sunday about last week’s shooting attack in San Bernardino, California, which the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism.

Obama also vowed to destroy the Islamic State group.

The Department of Homeland Security has spearheaded the White House’s efforts to counter violent extremism in the United States.

Local & State News Bomb Continued from Page 1A There is no mention in any news release or local police report of drugs being discovered at the home, located at 820 First Avenue W. The suspected device was “rendered safe” by a State Fire Marshal Bomb Technician team that was called in from Des Moines, and the First Avenue neighborhood was opened to normal traffic by 5:35 p.m.

Trail Continued from Page 1A “It’s impossible to write any type of grant without a plan, so the goal of this whole project — all four counties — is to create not just a countywide trail masterplan for Jasper County, but to have it with a regional mind,” said Iowa Heartland President Gay Lea Wilson. “We want to get it plugged in to the central Iowa trail network.”

Recreational and multi-use trails has become a central focus for Jasper County Conservation, local nonprofits and city leaders in recent years.

charges do not always come at the time of a search.

“It’s frustrating for the public, because they might see people on the street and feel like they should be in jail,” Burdess said.

“But it’s frustrating for us, too.

Our hands are tied, really. When we catch someone breaking the law, we can just take them to jail and file charges. But with a federal agency, they have evidence to analyze, and a completely different process. All we do (as local law enforcement) is assist.”

Burdess said NPD considers the case an ongoing investigation, although that role might be mostly assisting federal authorities with their inquiries.

Kevin VanderSchel, the acting U.S. attorney for the South-

ern District of Iowa, said there is almost nothing that he can say publicly about the case.

“Unless there is an exception, such as an immediate public safety concern, we are unable to provide any comments about federal investigations beyond what is in the public record,” VanderSchel said. “At the present time, there are no public records available, and no additional comments will be made.”

Burdess said there is not a legal way NPD or the Jasper County Sheriff can hold anyone in jail who might face federal charges. He also said the $300 bond cannot be raised or lowered, despite the seriousness of the setting, and no matter the flight risk of the suspects.

“Not even a judge could raise that bond,” Burdess said. “It’s not a great situation, but we allow the feds to go through the steps of their process.”

Burdess said he doesn’t know exactly what type of “suspicious” device was found. However, he said he was informed the bomb technicians “took steps to destroy it” and that it was an “inactive” device. He said there were no verbalized threats made regarding the device.

The chief said he was pleased with how well a coordinated effort was able to secure the area around the house. The Newton Police Department, Newton Fire Department, Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, and the Jasper County Emergency

Management Office were all involved in maintaining the perimeter while the team was en route.

Burdess said he was pleased with the evacuation process, and thanked the public for cooperating with first responders in quickly getting out of the area.

“We timed it, and from start to finish, we evacuated everyone in about 20 minutes, which is excellent,” Burdess said. “It was a great coordinated effort between first responders and the public, and there were no traffic accidents.”

ville Rails-to-Trails Corridor acquisition. The 10.75-mile stretch, extending from Highway F62 W. southeast of Prairie City through Jasper County to Highway S27 near Michellville, is a project which has been in development for more than 1.5 years and is part of a larger vision to connect Marion, Jasper and Polk counties with a paved recreational trail system. The project also aims to connect Monroe to Prairie City in the same system. Leaders said having a rail bed with defined paths and bridges in place can cut costs for trail development “dramatically.”

Jasper County Conservation also received $280,000 in grants funds to make repairs to the Chichaqua Valley trail from Ira to the Indian Creek Bridge near Mingo.

Hometown Pride Community Coach Jeff Davidson said

Tuesday that nearly every Jasper County city participating in the Keep Iowa Beautiful initiative has indicated trail development as a priority. Davidson has been involved in the beginning stages of a citywide trails to sidewalk plan in Newton.

Davidson said the Lynnville and Sully Hometown Pride committees have committed to developing a multi-use trail to connect their communities. The University of Iowa’s Capstone Class through the College of Engineering is assisting Lynnville and Sully in initial alignments, designs and an eventual cost estimate in that project.

The UI class is doing similar work with trailhead designs for the Monroe to Prairie City trail segment.

“They’re also going to take a look at the line between Mitchellville and Monroe and do a

plan to find what it would take and what it would cost.” Davidson said. “That will help us in finding the grant funds for that.”

As the different groups drew their desired trail routes on the Jasper County maps in Colfax Tuesday, non-traditional uses for trails were a topic of conversation.

David and Michelle Huffaker of Baxter, are members of the Jasper County Ditch Bangers — a local snowmobile club. They used to ride the Chichaqua Valley Trail before it was paved and became inaccessible to motorized vehicles. They hope to see more trails accessible for snowmobiles put into the countywide plan.

“We just want a way to be able to go in any direction to connect to the Saylorville Damn Snowmobile Club Trails and the Central Iowa Snowmobile

Trails,” Michelle Huffaker said.

“We just want a big trail system that snowmobilers can ride and not go in an out of the same trail. We want people to be able to do a loop and enjoy more of our area.”

Corky Stokka is a horse owner from Newton and would like to see the development of more equestrian trails, not just in Jasper County but throughout Iowa.

“It’s a challenge to find a place to go ride that has any distance to it,” she said. “We do trail competitions. It’s difficult in Iowa to find a trail of length.

We do have a few but they’re few and far between. You have to travel two to three hours. It would be nice to just get out and ride.”

Gone — but still not for sale

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Dec. 9, 2015

Scott Weiland’s autobiography is called “Not Dead and Not For Sale.”

When Weiland passed away last week, he was still not for sale.

Weiland took a rare combination of characteristics and talent with him. His Stone Temple Pilots did their hard work in 1980s Southern California clubs before grunge took over the mainstream, when “alternative” was more associated with the punk scene and continued to flourish amid criticism while seeming to fly alongside grunge in the 1990s.

I know it’s no longer en vogue to mourn deceased entertainers, and I get that, as rock stars were afforded opulent lifestyles while military heroes and others conquer huge obstacles in relative anonymity. I don’t feel compelled to paint a sympathetic picture of any rock star who lived the good life for awhile, no matter how much legitimate disease and victimization was involved, as others have lived like Weiland and still managed to make positive choices and

do the hard work of growing up.

We all have a favorite entertainer. Actors, singers, musicians, dancers and storytellers move us to contemplate both fiction and reality. Weiland and his band had a rare gift of holding many of us captive to hear what he had to say, whether he was raising awareness about rape in “Sex Type Thing” — the first of the Pilots’ 16 top10 hits — or painting great visuals in “Lady Picture Show.”

There’s a small area in between reflecting on an artist’s contributions and best attributes and romanticizing the egregious excess and defects that led to a demise. That area, with Weiland, is occupied by a guarded admiration of his perseverance of early criticism, coupled with the usual frustration about what might have been had he made it past his demons.

A Grammy Award for perhaps the band’s biggest, most wellknown hit, “Plush,” showed the kind of promise few rock bands experienced. This was an espe-

cially prestigious honor to have bestowed upon a band at that time, after record companies had finally lost their patience with hair bands, but before the digital revolution began to blend all genres.

What can we learn from Weiland’s life? There’s the purposeful countercultural messages that a true rock star is often made of — the willingness to stand up for sets of principles, even when cooperate America or the national media have a different script for the band.

There’s also the way the band came together again after Weiland’s stint with Velvet Revolver.

While Weiland’s inability to sing with the range he had back in the 1990s kept the band from playing crowd-pleasing older hits well in concert, the band’s touring in 2012 showed promise that maybe Weiland was finally past his drug issues, and the Pilots would finally find a new role in the music world.

However, the lasting and most powerful lessons from Weiland

will probably be his drug use.

Long before Weiland’s aptly-named big hit with Velvet Revolver, poetically named “Fall to Pieces,” there were plenty of signs the disease of chemical dependency had slowed him down.

The first line to the second verse of “Interstate Love Long” — one of the Pilots’ eight No. 1 hits — is “Breathing is the hardest thing to do.”

Let us not feel sorry for any rock stars as much as we see how crystal methamphetamine, heroin, alcohol and other drugs rip apart our communities. By 1998’s “No. 4” album, Weiland was already singing about how both good and bad experiences drove him mad in “I Got You:” “It’s the craving for the good life that sees me through troubled times when the mind begins to wander to the spoon.”

Permanently support families, not corporate tax giveaways

By Lawrence Mishel President, Economic Policy Institute, and co-chair, Americans for Tax Fairness Temporary lapses of judgment can be corrected. Permanent mistakes are harder to fix.

Congress is poised to offer very costly permanent tax giveaways to powerful corporations. It is also considering renewing more modest tax credits that encourage work and support millions of low-wage workers and their children. This is an easy choice: do not provide any more corporate tax breaks. Instead, renew the pro-worker tax credits because they have an important role in alleviating poverty and income inequality at a time of wage stagnation.

Congress will soon vote on whether to renew a grab bag of 50 tax breaks known as “tax extenders.” Though defined as “temporary,” they’ve been rubber-stamped every year or two for decades. The package costs about $50 billion a year. A small army of some 1,400 corporate lobbyists watches over this process, as four out of five dollars of these tax breaks benefit their patrons.

Remarkably, these corporate tax cuts get doled out for free — their costs added directly to the deficit.

On the other hand, conservatives always require that vital services benefitting average Americans have to be paid for. What’s worse, this year a big push is underway to enshrine up to six of these costly corporate giveaways in permanent law. The price tag: more than $600 billion.

At the other end of the income scale, improvements to the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit are slated to disappear at the end of next year. These two targeted expansions help working families make ends meet and cost a tiny fraction of the six corporate tax breaks.

Thanks to a rigged economic and political system, working families have seen their incomes and futures stalled for decades. The fortunes of Wall Street billionaires have soared. Experts agree that the skewed tax system contributes to our widening income and wealth gaps.

Tax policy should be crafted to correct the imbalances in our economy, not exacerbate them.

Yet, Congress hasn’t repealed a single corporate tax giveaway in years. Meanwhile, nearly $2.7 trillion in spending cuts are scheduled over the next decade to reduce the deficit. Critical services — public education, college aid, nutrition and housing, infrastructure and medical research — have all been significantly cut. Every one of these cuts would affect working Americans, while wealthy corporations are not being asked to contribute an additional dime.

Three of the worst corporate breaks slated for permanent status will take a big bite out of the federal budget while doing nothing to help working families.

The bonus depreciation tax break allows corporations to write off big purchases much faster than they actually wear out. Though it will cost $280 billion over 10

years, numerous studies show that it doesn’t help the economy much.

It’s also very inefficient—the bang for the buck from spending on the EITC and CTC is four times greater than spending on bonus depreciation.

Two other loopholes enable the shifting of profits and jobs offshore.

The Active Financing Exception allows multinational banks and other financial firms to move certain types of income — like dividends, interest and royalties — to foreign countries to avoid U.S. taxes. This giveaway was instrumental in General Electric not paying a dime of U.S. income taxes over five years despite making $27 billion in profits. AFE costs $78 billion over 10 years, more than enough to provide high-quality pre-school for all four-year olds for a decade.

TheControlled Foreign Corporation Look-Through Rule allows U.S. multinationals to shift profits between foreign subsidiaries without triggering the U.S. taxes normally due. This encourages more offshore tax sheltering instead of domestic investment. Making the CFC Look-Through Rule permanent would cost another $22 billion over 10 years.

U.S. firms already have more than $2 trillion in earnings stashed overseas. We shouldn’t be renewing loopholes that encourage offshore tax dodging. We should be closing them. The money we save should be used to make permanent the improvements in working-family tax credits.

Months ago, a concerned American at a school in Texas spotted a 14-year-old Muslim boy toting around a contrapt i o n t h a t looked v e r y much like a bomb.

T h a t Te x a n called the po- By Ben Shapiro lice, who came and detained the boy; after learning that the boy’s device was actually a disassembled clock, they released him.

Weeks ago, a concerned American in San Bernardino spotted a “half-dozen Middle Eastern men” in the area of an apartment housing Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. He didn’t know what they were doing there, but they seemed suspicious. He didn’t call the cops.

In San Bernardino, of course, that political correctness ended in the death of 14 Americans and the wounding of 21 more. In Texas, that failure to bow to political correctness ended in the attorney general of the United States vowing to track down and investigate the local police department.

Welcome to politically correct America, where you are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.

Political correctness costs lives. It doesn’t merely require us to abide by the strictures of an arbitrary linguistic code. It isn’t just an irritation. It means that we’re all supposed to frontally lobotomize ourselves to basic realities. We’re supposed to pretend that there’s nothing more suspicious about a half-dozen Middle Eastern males coming and going at odd hours from an apartment with a small child than there would be if a half-dozen white males did the same thing. We’re supposed to cave to the fantasy that a religious Muslim reaching out to terrorists over the internet poses no more

threat than a Christian visiting a pro-life website.

We’re supposed to blind ourselves in order to avoid the obvious.

That costs lives.

Now, this doesn’t mean that we ought to discriminate against individual Muslims, of course. But it does mean that law enforcement ought to look at indicators of possible terrorist connections, and that one preliminary indicator is religious practice of Islam. That indicator isn’t sufficient to determine connection to terrorism — far from it. No single indicator generally is. But behavioral profiling involves investigating a variety of factors. As Daniel Wagner, CEO of Risk Solutions, writes about Israel’s profiling techniques, “Departing passengers [at Ben Gurion Airport] are questioned by highly trained security agents before they reach the check-in counter. These interviews could last as little as one minute or as long as an hour, based on such factors as age, race, religion and destination.”

Ignoring any of these factors represents incompetence.

But the president wants to use the force of law to enshrine incompetence. He suggests that to assess risk differently based on religious observance is somehow a violation of basic American principles, rather than a time-tested technique of all human relations. We obviously must remain on guard for baseless bias and persecution without evidence. But we can’t ignore the realities of risk assessment in the name of cultural sensitivity, either.

That’s how we end up with the utter stupidity of an MSNBC host suggesting that media stop showing pictures of the San Bernardino female shooter so as not to link her hijab-clad visage with Islam. That’s how we end up with Obama suggesting that our own Islamophobia causes terrorism, rather than radical Islam.

Most importantly, that’s how we end up with more dead Americans.

Sara J. Schober, 60, the daughter of Benjamin and Florence (Stevens) Crist, was born Sept. 19, 1955, in Lyons, Kan. She grew up working on her family’s farm, helping to harvest wheat, tend to chickens and maintaining a dai-

met Irene Winder. On March 21, 1947, the two of them were married in Kansas. To this union three sons were born, Charles, Merle and Dan. Following their marriage, they bought a farm in Kansas and together they farmed for a few years. Ole and Irene later divorced. Ole was a carpenter by trade the rest of his working life.

He was a skilled craftsman and talented woodworker. He worked for many years for F.M. Design and Construction. On April 21, 1972, Ole was united in marriage to Betty Oteken in Craig County, Okla.

Betty died March 2, 2005. Following their marriage, they moved to southern Iowa, first to Newton, then Colfax, until settling in Oskaloosa in 1975. Ole continued to do construction work in Oskaloosa for several years. Last he worked at Mahaska Bank (now Midwest One Bank) doing custom construction and maintenance work. He

retired from the bank in 2007. In 2010, he moved to Newton, to be closer to his sons. Ole was an active member of the V.F.W., where he was a member for more than 60 years and had served as Post Commander. He was also a member of the American Legion, he served on the honor guard in Mahaska County for many years.

He enjoyed being a Mason and a Shriner, where he participated in many Shriner’s Circuses and parades. He enjoyed fishing and woodworking. He was quick witted and always had a one-liner ready, to put a smile on the faces of those around him. It was a great honor for him to have his World War II experience chronicled, by a William Penn Student.

He is survived by his three sons, Charles (Marlene) Jorgenson of Newton, Merle (Ann) Jorgenson of Newton, and Dan Jorgenson of Newton; a stepson, Mark Lindflott of

Northwood; six grandchildren, Jill (Larry) Klinkner, Jeff (Mindi) Jorgenson, Bryan Jorgenson and Amy Jorgenson-Harms-Coop, Lorissa Moffitt and Jason Jorgenson; seven great-grandchildren; two brothers, Kenneth Charles Jorgenson and David LeRoy Jorgenson; and many nieces and nephews.

As was Ole’s wish his body has been cremated.

The family will be at the Bates Funeral Chapel from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday to greet friends and relatives. A memorial service will be at 4 p.m. in the Bates Funeral Chapel with Pastor Alvern Boetsma officiating.

Military honors will be given on the front lawn of the funeral chapel following the memorial service.

ly chore of milking the family’s dairy cows. She retained a life long love and appreciation for nature and animals. She was a graduate of the Little River, Kan., Senior High School, had an associate graphic arts degree from Hutchinson Junior College in Hutchinson, Kan., and a special education degree from Upper Iowa University in Fayette.

On Nov. 6, 1982, Sara was united in marriage to Stephen Dallis Schober in Little River, Kan. A resident of the Newton area since 1982, Sara held many positions before she found her true calling, including working as a graphic artist and managing a craft store. After receiving a cancer diagnosis in 1997, Sara decided to return to school to become an elementary educator with an endorsement for reading and special education. She worked at Fairview Elementary in Grinnell, the Newton Senior High School and Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, Berg and Emerson Hough Elementary Schools in Newton. She devoted

her life to her family, students and friends, and was an active member of the Congregational United Church of Christ in Newton and of the Armenia Sampey Questers.

Sara enjoyed the outdoors, antiques, gardening, vacationing, cooking, baking, sewing, quilting and her dogs and cats. At home, Sara was known for executing home-based summertime reading and math interventions, for being a driver, alarm clock and personal chef and for not being a “magic fairy.” Her friends knew her to be a great listener, generous of heart and both goofy and shy. She loved nature, and enjoyed hiking, camping, bike riding, tending to her garden and riding horses on family vacations.

Sara was also known for the incredible endurance and grit she showed in enduring an 18-year battle with metastatic colon cancer.

She was a role model for many others who endured cancer diagnoses, and was a frequent participant in such charita-

ble events as Relay for Life. Sara’s students and colleagues were accustomed to seeing Sara at school no matter what treatments or surgeries she may have been recovering from. Sara never allowed cancer to prevent her from achieving goals, such as that of becoming a teacher, nor did she allow it to become a damper on her characteristic positivism and grace. She will be remembered as an animal-lover, tender heart, compassionate and loving mother and partner, and overall tough gal.

Sara passed away Sunday evening, Dec. 6, 2015, at her home in Newton.

Those left to honor Sara’s memory include her husband Stephen; her daughter Katie (David) Schober-Ordonez of Maple Grove, Minn.; her son Ben Schober of Iowa City; a sister Susan (Gary) Jackson of Newton, Kan.; and many good friend and colleagues.

Sara was preceded in death by her parents; and by her sisters, Carole Bailey and Cindy Grigsby.

Husband’s sexual assaults can no longer be ignored

DEAR ABBY: I have been with my husband for almost 14 years. I’m a sound sleeper, and I suspect he has been having sex with me while I’m sleeping.

I have woken up without clothes on, my undergarments askew or the waistband “rolled on.” I called him on it and told him I knew and that I’m not OK with it.

Weeks later, I caught him red-handed. This time I was awake, but I was so frightened that I froze! I was sexually abused as a child and raped as an adult, and now I feel like my marriage has been turned upside down. My husband denies it. He claims it’s all in my head.

My friends say that for the sake of my children I should ignore it or I’ll turn their lives upside down. Abby, everyone thinks my husband is a catch! I’m sure if I walk away I’ll lose friends — maybe even some of my family. Please help me. I feel lost. — TURNED UPSIDE DOWN IN ILLINOIS DEAR TURNED UPSIDE DOWN: Your friends are wrong, and you should NOT “ignore” this. Sex without a person’s consent is rape!

When a husband does what you have described, it is called spousal rape.

Because he claims this is “all in your head,” for your own sanity, make an appointment to discuss this with a licensed psychotherapist. With your unfortunate history, you should have spoken with someone already. Your husband is either grossly insensitive or derives pleasure from being a predator.

His behavior is appalling, and you do not have to stand for it.

Counseling can help you decide whether to remain in this marriage. Regardless of what your ultimate decision may be, it will help you be emotionally resilient enough to live with your choice regardless of what your “friends” and family members may think.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance, “Rob,” and I are pregnant. This should be an exciting time for me, but he keeps bringing up a previous relationship during which he had an unplanned child. That was 10 years ago, and the mother denied him access.

I have told Rob how much his mentioning it upsets me and I have asked him not to do it, especially during my pregnancy. I want to feel happy and special as the woman who will be providing Rob with an actual family unit.

But instead I feel like second-best and resentful.

This should be a time to focus on us and our new baby, not the child that isn’t in his life or that woman and her stupid actions. Please advise me. — SOON-TO-BE MOM IN DENVER DEAR MOM: You ARE special and you ARE the person who is creating a new family with Rob, but your pregnancy may be a painful reminder of the child he “lost.” He may be afraid the same thing could happen again and need all the reassurance you can give him that it won’t.

Because his bringing up the past relationship is hurtful, suggest he talk with a licensed mental health professional about it. Sometimes the best way to stop grieving is to talk about it.

County to hire public health administrator

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A new administrator position for the recently approved Jasper County Public Health service was granted approval on Tuesday. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the position which the Jasper County Board of Health hopes to fill by Feb. 1.

Last month, Skiff Medical Center sent a letter to the board of health explaining its decision to no longer provide the public health nursing service with an end date of Feb. 1. After opening the service up to outside agencies to fill the vacancy Skiff left, the board received no interest and chose to move the service in-house.

“We can put this position in place and start restructur-

ing the department to conduct the current business plus cover what we need to do with public health,” human resources director Dennis Simon said.

Although it will be new to the county, no additional funding was requested to cover costs. Instead, money that was previously paid to Skiff, totaling approximately $168,000, will be reallocated to the county’s public health service.

“As we go through the budget process, the board of health and the administrator is going to have to figure out what their new budget is going to be and bring that for approval going forward for 2016-17,” Simon said.

Board of health chair Margot Voshell said she visited with administrators in Warren and Tama counties — both have

public health services operated by the county. She said those counties have been successful with their programs and have even expanded services.

“We will rely on those two counties to assist us as we move along,” Voshell said.

Supervisor Joe Brock asked Voshell if bringing the service in-house was the board’s only option or if they had several to consider.

“This was the option and frankly the preferred option,” Voshell said.

With the board’s approval, Simon said he would begin the hiring process by posting the position in newspapers and on the county’s website among other job sites.

The public health nursing program had been run by Skiff since 1984. Services provided

Tigers snatch win from Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Head coach Bill Liley knows his team shoots the basketball better than it did in its home opener Tuesday night. Newton High’s Cardinal players know they shoot the ball better.

Knowing it didn’t translate into a victory in a tight contest with visiting Adel-DeS oto-Minbur n’s Tigers. The Cardinals had open-look shooting opportunities go off the mark in their 63-61 loss to the Tigers.

Down six with less than a minute to play in the game, the Cardinals went to Connor Gholson. Gholson netted a 22-foot jump shot for a 3-pointer with 48 seconds on the clock, and Liley called a timeout.

Newton got just want it wanted — the Cardinal defensive pressure caused the Tigers to turn the ball over.

Garrett Sturtz had an open look at a potential tying 3-point shot. The ball rattled in and then out as the rebound was pulled down by ADM’s post player Jake Hardy.

Hardy sank one of two free throws to make it 60-56 with 29 seconds left in regulation. Another Newton trey attempt was off, and the Tigers grabbed the rebound.

Payton Conrad put the Tigers up, 61-56, hitting one of two foul shots with 18 ticks left on the game clock. Joseph Banfield went to the basket for Newton on the ensuing possession and was fouled.

Banfield knocked down the first free throw, but the second one missed. Newton’s Josh Ventling controlled the rebound, made a pass to Banfield in the lane, who scored.

Braves use long ball to take down Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo boys basketball coach John Borts was not surprised. Montezuma did exactly what he expected Tuesday night during a home South Iowa Cedar League contest.

It didn’t matter though. The Tigerhawks simply couldn’t slow the Braves down.

Montezuma hit five 3-pointers to grab a big lead in the opening quarter, and Colfax-Mingo didn’t have an answer as the Braves stayed unbeaten with a 62-34 victory.

The Braves buried nine 3-pointers in the game. Brody McKeag hit three treys in the first quarter to help Montezuma to a 19-8 lead after eight minutes.

All four of McKeag’s 3-pointers in the game came in the first half, and he finished with a game-high 24 points.

“I have seen them play twice before tonight,” Borts said.

“This wasn’t a surprise. We knew exactly what they were going to do.

“I knew it was going to be a challenge. We are not polished enough yet to play a team like them right now. We can play much better than we played tonight though.”

It was the first loss of the year for the Tigerhawks, who continue to play without the services of starting guard Jared Myers. Myers suffered a high ankle sprain during football and has not played for the C-M basketball team yet this year.

Troy Hyde/Daily News “We miss Jared Myers a Colfax-Mingo senior Jacob Lietz scores two of his 10 points during first-half action in Colfax on Tuesday. The Tigerhawks lost 62-34 to Montezuma in South Iowa Cedar League action.

Tigerhawk girls can’t keep it from pesky Montezuma

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Montezuma’s girls basketball team is only allowed to play five players on the court at one time.

During Tuesday’s South Iowa Cedar League contest against Colfax-Mingo, it felt like there were Braves everywhere.

Montezuma had 35 steals in the game, forced Colfax-Mingo into 44 turnovers and stayed unbeaten with a 65-33 win.

The Tigerhawks had trouble with the full-court pressure Montezuma applied for what seemed like the entire 32 minutes. Colfax-Mingo attempted just 28 shots. Montezuma made 24.

“We haven’t seen that kind of full-court pressure yet,” Colfax-Mingo coach Michelle Grant said. “We get anxious.

We are afraid of the pressure.

We see the opportunity to get the ball out of our hands, and by the time we do that, there’s someone in the passing lanes.”

Despite turning it over 23 times in the first half, Colfax-Mingo only trailed by 10 at the break.

It was a one-point game after the first quarter, and Jessica Albright hit back-toback buckets to close the gap to four with three minutes to go until halftime. Montezuma didn’t go up 10 until the final seconds of the half.

“Every time we moved the ball, worked the ball or got a good drive to the bucket, we were able to score,” Grant said.

“We got a good shot, a high percentage shot.”

The Braves hit four 3-pointers in the game and all four came in the final two quarters.

That helped the visitors outscore the Tigerhawks 36-14 in the second half.

The biggest issue for the

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Reagan Nichol, center, tries to split the double team of Montezuma’s Aliya Pargeon (5) and Riley Gatton (51) during South Iowa Cedar League action in Colfax on Tuesday. The Braves defeated Colfax-Mingo 65-33.

Tigerhawks continues to be their inability to get shots up.

“We get too caught up in who scores the points and who takes the shots,” Grant said. “Whether (Albright) has 30 points a game or everyone scores seven, we just have to work the ball until someone is open.

“If it is Jess all night, then it’s Jess all night. If it’s someone else then so be it. We have to get out of the ‘I want points, I want points, I want points’ and get into the ‘we want points, we want points, we want points’ mindset.”

Albright led the Tigerhawks with 12 points. She was 4-for-5 from the floor, 1-of-1

from long range and 3-for-4 from the free-throw line and also had two steals and two rebounds.

The next closest scorers were McKeely Tjaden and Dakota Hostetter, who each scored four. Hostetter and Brianna Cooper each pulled down nine rebounds and Ries Wilson corralled six boards.

Montezuma freshman Riley Gatton had a game-high 16 points and eight steals. Senior Aliya Pargeon had 10 points and four steals. Sophomore Shelby Helm had nine points and seven steals and senior Katie Maschmann finished with seven points and seven steals.

Mustang grapplers win two, lose one at Pleasantville quad

Continued from Page 1B “We miss Jared Myers a ton,” Borts said.

“He adds another guy with size, plays extremely hard and is good on the boards. He is possibly our best perimeter shooter. He understands our system and what we want out of him. He is a critical piece that isn’t out here.”

Borts hopes to get Myers back after the winter break but admitted there was no official timetable for his return at this point. Myers is currently doing physical therapy for the injured ankle.

Borts won’t give excuses. His Tigerhawks needed to play better Tuesday night against a Montezuma team that will be in the discussion for the SICL championship this year.

After a Jacob Lietz bucket got C-M within 8-4 early in the first quarter, Carson Losure buried back-toback 3-pointers to give the Braves a 14-4 lead.

McKeag knocked down his third trey of the frame as time expired.

The Braves’ lead grew to 35-15 late in the second quarter thanks to seven points from McKeag and another five from Dakota Strong.

Sophomore Jarod Nichols put in three consecutive buckets for the Tigerhawks (3-1 overall, 2-1 in SICL) to close the halftime deficit to 35-21. “​ I thought we were playing hard on defense,” Borts said. “I thought we defended them about as good as we could. They just hit tough shots. I don’t

think we are capable of playing them any harder.”

The hosts got within 12 on three straight possessions in the third quarter, but Montezuma (4-0, 3-0) wouldn’t let them get any closer.

After Lietz made it 40-28 with a nifty drive to the hoop, Logan Price scored inside, Losure hit another 3-pointer and then Price finished off the frame with back-toback buckets.

Price’s first basket drew a Tigerhawk foul and his second make came as time expired in the third quarter, and it gave Montezuma a 5028 lead.

“We just weren’t good enough offensively to get the margin

into single digits at any point and actually pose a threat in this game,” Borts said. “I thought we had opportunities to, but we didn’t play well enough at either end.”

Lietz, a senior, and Nichols each scored 10 points for the Tigerhawks. Senior Colin Lourens put in seven points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Nichols completed the double-double with 15 rebounds.

Colfax-Mingo was plagued by 20 turnovers.

“We made some mistakes against their press,” Borts said. “We didn’t attack their zone as well as we wanted to. We didn’t pass the ball as well, didn’t catch the ball as well and didn’t shoot the ball as well either.”

Price was the only other Brave in double-figures as he scored 10. Strong and Losure each put in nine.

PLEASANTVILLE — Welcoming back a handful of starters Tuesday night allowed Prairie City-Monroe’s wrestling team to be much more competitive on the mats.

Freshmen Lucas Roland and Jarron Trausch made their varsity debuts for the Mustangs and went 3-0 on the night as PCM went 2-1 at a Pleasantville quadrangular.

PCM opened the night with a 41-35 win over Bondurant-Farrar. The Mustangs then lost to Class 1A No. 10 Sigourney, 42-39, before ending the quad with a 43-36 win over the host Trojans.

James Maggard (152 and 160), Jakeb Fenton (113 and 120), Chace Palm (106) and Kaeden VanSoelen (126) all went 2-1 on the night.

The Mustangs led Bondurant-Farrar 20-0 before locking up the dual win following forfeit wins at 113, 120 and 126.

PCM led Sigourney 9-6 after three matches, but the Savages rallied with two falls and four forfeits.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s girls basketball team had six made 3-pointers in the first four games of the season.

Niang’s 31 points helps No. 4 Iowa State cruise past Buffalo AMES (AP) — Iowa State’s Georges Niang played the most complete game of his career, helping the fourth-ranked Cyclones shake off some sluggish play and eventually roll past Buffalo 84-63 on Monday night.

Niang’s first double-double of the season — 31 points and 12 rebounds — was crucial for the Cyclones (7-0), who let the Bulls get within 47-46 early in the second half.

Iowa State responded with an 11-0 run and a late closing push to remain one of the nation’s last unbeaten teams.

“It’s games like this when you need him to step up,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said of Niang.

“He’s terrific. Tough mismatch guy.”

Uthoff’s career-high helps Iowa blow by Western Illinois

Jarryn Skeete led Buffalo (4-5) with 16 points.

The loss capped a brutal three-day stretch for the Bulls, who lost at No. 8 Duke 82-59 on Saturday.

This was Iowa State’s final tuneup for Thursday’s home game against Iowa, a team the Cyclones revel in beating as much as anyone other than Kansas.

Iowa State looked like it was looking ahead for a while.

Buffalo nearly made the Cyclones pay for their poor play.

The Bulls kept it interesting at the start of both halves.

But Niang sandwiched two 3s around one by Hallice Cooke, and Abdel Nader’s three-point play gave the Cyclones their first double-digit lead, 27-16.

Still, Iowa State couldn’t

UNI pulls away late to beat George Mason FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Paul Jesperson scored nine of his 19 points in the final two minutes to help Northern Iowa pull away and beat George Mason 73-65 on Tuesday night.

Wes Washpun had 19 points on 6-of-11 shooting for Northern Iowa (6-2).

Marquise Moore had 15 points and Otis Livingston II 13 for George Mason (4-6).

Shevon Thompson added eight points with 10 rebounds.

Jesperson made a 3-pointer to stretch the Panthers’ lead to 53-47 with eight minutes left. Thompson made a layup and Livingston a 3-pointer to pull George Mason to 53-52 with five minutes to play.

Matt Bohannon answered with a 3, and Washpun made a layup to make it 58-52.

Jesperson made a 3-pointer and six free throws, and the Panthers led 67-54 with a minute left.

Skeete then opened the second half with three straights 3s before the Cyclones got untracked.

They did so behind Niang, whose steady play helped Iowa State keep the Bulls from getting close enough to make a late run at an upset.

“That’s not a bad team. We were struggling a little bit on defense, giving them a bunch of points late in the shot clock,” Niang said.

“I think our flow wasn’t that great on the offensive end.”

Jameel McKay finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Monte Morris had 12 points with 10 assists for the Cyclones.

Zobrist, Lackey sign contracts with Cubs NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Chicago Cubs keep adding players who used to be on Joe Maddon’s teams.

Free agent infielder Ben Zobrist agreed Tuesday to a $56 million, four-year contract with the Cubs, a deal that spurred Chicago to trade Starlin Castro to the New York Yankees for pitcher Adam Warren.

A two-time All-Star, Zobrist gets a $2 million signing bonus, payable by Jan. 31, and salaries of $10 million next year, $16 million in each of the following two seasons and $12 million in 2019.

The 34-year-old switch-hitter plays second, third and the outfield, and he was an important spark for the Kansas City Royals in their run to the World Series title.

The New York Mets also had tried to reach an agreement.

Zobrist played his first nine seasons with Tampa Bay when Maddon ran the team. Maddon praised Zobrist’s versatility as a utility player.

Chicago also finalized its $32 million, twoyear contract with pitcher John Lackey, who won Game 7 of the World Series for the Angels in 2002 when Maddon was the bench coach.

the Leathernecks 45 to 35.

“I was definitely into the flow of the game,” Uthoff said. “It was one of those days where the shots fall down. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t.”

Uthoff did most of his damage in the first half, scoring 24 of Iowa’s 53 points, including an 80-second span that saw him hit three 3-pointers.

Iowa has now won 37 of its last 38 games against non-conference opponents.

Garret Covington led Western Illinois with 12 points and Tate Stensgaard had 11 points.

McCaffery and the Hawks were careful not to overlook the Leathernecks, who opened the season by knocking off then-No. 17 Wisconsin on the road.

“This team, they’re 6-1.

And the Wisconsin win — if you watched the game — you know how hard it is to win there,” McCaffery said.

“They executed and they battled.”

Lynnville-Sully boys dominate, girls struggle in victories

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Giving up six points in the first half, Lynnville-Sully’s boys overpowered the visiting HLV Warriors Tuesday in South Iowa Cedar League basketball play. The Hawks turned their 37-6 halftime lead into a 61-27 victory.

“We did what we needed to early in the game. We were able to create some turnovers and easy baskets,” Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “It was nice to see everyone get involved and contribute to the win.”

Lynnville-Sully’s Class 1A

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B on the clock, the Cardinals were down by two points.

Matt Larson pushed the Tiger margin to four points with two free throws. Sturtz scored on a outback at the buzzer for the final score.

“We shot poorly tonight.

These guys shoot the ball well. We had our best shooting practice (Monday),” Liley said. “We’re running things really well and getting the open looks in our offense. We just didn’t hit them tonight.”

Liley said most of the starters for Newton this season have always been role players in the past. This year, they are the guys who have to make the shots, grab the rebounds, play the solid defense and make the plays to win games.

Newton and ADM came into Tuesday non-conference contest at 1-1. Both had lost to Pella Christian.

The Cardinals pushed out to a 13-7 lead with two minutes remaining in the first quarter. Jared Sapp came off the Tiger bench to score five unanswered points to draw his team to within one point.

Sturtz answered with a basket to give the Cardinals a 15-12 lead at the end of the period.

On the strength of Hardy’s inside play, ADM had a 2519 lead by the midway mark of the second quarter. Jake Bennett, coming off Newton’s bench, triggered in a 3-point-

14th-ranked girls struggled at home in SICL action, but the Hawk girls still had enough to defeat HLV, 37-28. The Lynnville-Sully girls improved to 5-0 on the season and 4-0 in conference play.

“I didn’t do a very good job of coaching, getting the girls ready to play and stressing the fact HLV would come ready to play and be more aggressive,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach Jerry Hulsing said.

The Warrior girls were up 10-8 on the Hawks after one quarter of play and had a 1715 halftime advantage. Lynnville-Sully righted its ship in the third quarter on a 15-4 scoring surge. Each team adder to cut the deficit to three.

With two minutes left until the break, Banfield scored for Newton in transition and the Cardinals trailed by one point.

Sturtz had back-to-back field goals pushing the Cardinals back in front 32-31 at the 11-second mark. Larson hit the front end of a one-andone to forge a 32-all halftime score.

Hardy went to work in the paint for the Tigers as the third quarter opened. He outscored the Cardinals 7-3 until Conrad drilled a 3-pointer to help Hardy give the Tigers a 42-35 lead at the 4:42 mark.

“We don’t have bigs and everybody knows that. We’re trying to figure out the best way to neutralize big people, and we’ll come up with it,” Liley said of his team’s tough task of dealing with post players such as Hardy.

“I liked how our kids fought right to the end. We shot poorly, and the guys did not stop playing. They made a run to give us a chance to tie the game. Some teams who shoot that poorly, would have just folded, but these kids battle.”

Sturtz, Gholson and Jwan Roush knocked down free throws down the stretch of the third quarter to keep the Cardinals in the game. Newton trailed, 45-43, going into the fourth quarter.

The Cardinals scored the first five points of the final eight minutes, which includ-

ed seven points to their totals in the fourth quarter.

“During the game, HLV out played us most of the game. We did a good job in the third quarter of attacking the rim and not letting HLV get open looks. We will use this game as a learning experience and move forward getting better starting Wednesday,” Hulsing said.

Brenna Lanser paced the Hawk girls with 14 points, seven rebounds, five steals and four assists. Marissa Vos tossed in 10 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals. Kasiah Ehresman scored eight points.

Makenzy Rozendaal con-

trolled eight rebounds and scored two points. Haley James had three points. Lynnville-Sully shot 29 percent, 14-of-47, from the field, and turned the ball over 26 times.

Brooke Kuesel scored nine points for HLV. Katie Schaefer had seven points and 11 rebounds.

Nine players scored points for Lynnville-Sully’s boys led

by Tyler Van Zante’s 11 points.

Sage Ehresman had nine points and three steals. Kyle Van Dyke scored eight points and grabbed six rebounds.

Jesse Van Wyk added eight points, pulled five rebounds, made four steals and handed out four assists. Scoring

six points each were Canyon Kuhlmann, Elijah Collins and Corey McCoy. Rylan Jams had five points and Ryan Hofer scored two points.

The Hawk boys stretched their 37-6 halftime lead with a 17-7 run in the third quarter. HLV scored eight points in the final eight minutes to Lynnville-Sully’s seven points.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls play a reschedule game at Iowa Valley Thursday. The Hawk teams head to Montezuma in SICL action Friday.

ed fast break bucket by Drew Stout and Roush. It was backand-forth the rest of the way.

A Gholson basket made 5050 with 4:26 remaining.

A three-point play by Hardy put the Tigers up 56-52 two minutes later. The Tigers kept the Cardinals at bay, hitting free throws. For the game, ADM cashed in on 20of-32 foul shots while Newton was 19-of-27 at the line.

“We’re learning. These guys need to be in these

types of positions early in the season so they can learn to handle the pressure of making those shots,” Liley said.

“We’ll be better at the end of the season, which means this team will be a tough-out for someone to take on in the regional.”

Sturtz finished with 20 points, seven rebounds and two steals to lead the Cardinals. Gholson, who hit four 3-pointers, had 19 points, five rebounds and three blocked

shots. Roush handed out three assists and Banfield made two steals.

Hardy paced the Tigers with 21 points followed by Tajen Ross with 13 and Larson with 10 points.

Bowling Continued from Page 1B Kaytie Hughes, a sophomore, threw a 342 (157-185) for the Cardinals.

Astrograph

Give yourself options. Avoid making sweeping statements or committing to plans. However you feel about things in the morning, those feelings could change when evening rolls around. The moon moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius taking the emotional energy from introverted to extroverted in a matter of hours.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 9). You’ll do your best work this month and you’ll be recognized in at least three different meaningful ways.

Apply the bonus you receive in February to club dues or tuition. Your social horizons open up in April. There will be

a new force for good in your family circle. Group vacations are featured in June. Aquarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 45, 21, 22 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The ancient Greek tragedian Euripides said, “Slight not what’s near by aiming for what’s far.” Today offers a stellar opportunity to get your needs met and it’s right under your nose.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

First you have to believe you can do it. Half-hearted efforts are pointless. Either get into it more fully with a commitment

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Strip away what you’ve been taught and you’ll find that you’ve something unique to express. The reason you haven’t expressed it yet is that it’s so much a part of you that you don’t even realize how original it really is.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Last night hit the cosmic “refresh” button while you were sleeping. It’s like you woke up with a new brain this morning.

Don’t waste your new thoughts on your old worries.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Wanting to please the crowd could have an adverse affect on

200 First Ave. E. ~ Newton, IA 50208 641-792-3121

your creativity. What kind of presentation would you put on if your audience was only one person, and that one person was you?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Some are adventurers by choice; others are adventurers out of necessity. You’ve been both kinds, which is what allows you to be fearless in today’s scenario.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re not worried about the same things you used to worry about when you were small, but somehow you still feel as vulnerable as you did back then. Luckily, today brings support, friendship and love.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There’s not one philosophy you dogmatically believe. You are a student of many trains of thought and you’ll enjoy exploring new ones today. They don’t have to be reasonable or feasible to be interesting to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is no magic fix. The answer isn’t glamorous. There is no success secret -- it’s rather obvious what’s needed.

Hard work consistently in the same direction will get the job done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s not so easy to see where you fit in, but it’s clear to see where you don’t, so start with that. When you feel it’s a bad fit, move on quickly.

There’s no time to waste.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Strong teams are diverse teams. You don’t have to like or understand everyone -- it’s better if you don’t. A team of you-clones can’t accomplish anything beyond what you could accomplish alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Not content to keep the regular pace, you’re ready to take a risk. Why creep along when you can fly? What would it take to launch you? You’ll get there faster and you’ll have a better view too.
