Greater DSM Partnership sets sights on local tax options Water quality also a frequent topic at legislative luncheon

got clothing that day or if they really don’t have any.

DES MOINES — The Iowa legislative session often starts with optimism and a hope much will be accomplished. Pre-legislative events often take on that same promise of accomplishments that will benefit many, and Thursday’s Greater Des Moines Partnership Legislative Leadership Luncheon wasn’t an exception.

The luncheon, held at the Des Moines Botanical Garden, featured a panel of three state legislators who answered a series of questions prepared by the partnership’s leaders, as well as a few from the audience. The ticketed banquet had some locals, such as Jasper County Economic Development Corporation Director and Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton).

The panel featured State Rep. Jo Oldson (D-Des Moines), Iowa Senate GOP Whip Jack Whitver (R-Ankeny) and Senate Minority Leader Rob Hogg (D-Cedar Rapids). Micheal Sadler, a CenturyLink vice president who serves as the partnership’s government policy council chair, emceed the discussion.

The event also was the venue where the Partnership unveiled its 2017 legislative priorities. The City of Newton is a member of the Partnership.

Water quality and local tax options were among the priorities discussed by the three legislators. Giving more local control of tax revenues is one of the stated 2017 priorities of the partnership.

Whitver told those in attendance there are already plenty of Iowans complaining about the state taxing its residents and visitors in too many ways.

“Iowans feel overtaxed,” Whitver said. “So any discussion that concerns statewide taxes should include all Iowans. I live in Ankeny, a very urban place, but I’m from Grinnell, so I work toward solutions that benefit all Iowans.

We will see how the rest of our (Republican) caucus feels about certain proposals, but by and large, we don’t want to increase the tax burden.”

NCSD students, community continue to be in need of warm clothes

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News As colder weather has arrived, several local organizations and schools continue to be in immense need of the community’s generous support to ensure children and families are warm and fed.

Berg Middle School’s Coat Closet is perhaps in the most need of donations of winter clothes for its students.

Although, the clothing closet has a great ensemble of T-shirts, tank tops and a select few pairs of jeans and sweatshirts on-hand, the winter attire is lacking this year.

School counselors Shelly Fitzgerald, fifth and sixth grade, and Tracee Van Arkel, seventh and eighth

grade, and school nurse Staci Geer are among those who have been approached by students in need.

“I think our building personnel see the need for it, so they are bringing in things a lot,” Fitzgerald said.

The clothing closet is in need of gently used sweatpants or athletic pants size 12 boys or men’s extra large, leggings for girls size 12 or ladies extra large, ladies underwear size 6 and 7, socks; men and ladies, winter coats size medium adult, men and women shoes or boots sizes 5 through 10, hats, gloves and scarves.

Newton teens fight human trafficking Awareness and education are focus of new NHS club

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Since human trafficking happens in secret, it’s difficult for anyone — even highly trained law enforcement or researchers with access to tons of data — to know the exact size or scope of the problem.

Four Newton High School students and many of the peers are concerned with learning not only about the magnitude of human trafficking but also ways to spot it and deal with it.

After hearing a presentation from Shannon Schott of Youth & Shelter Services, Inc. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church about a statewide organization called Teens Against Human Trafficking and the cause that has spurred the growth of it, NHS junior Lucy Lilienthal and senior Katherine Thorpe brought the topic up to student council advisor Kelly Tremel.

Soon, Newton’s chapter of TAHT was formed.

“The idea to start this club wasn’t brought up by faculty,” Tremel said.

“Katherine and Lucy brought this in as something that they care about, and it didn’t take

long for other students to see that they felt the same way.”

As class representatives of a group of students that meets regularly, Lilienthal, a junior, and Thorpe, a senior, along with freshman Molly Coy and sophomore Laura Wyre, told the Newton Daily News why this cause is a matter of grave importance to them.

“We’re not here to, like, stop human trafficking all by ourselves,” Coy said. “We just want to make people more aware of it.”

Lilienthal said one objective of TAHT’s education includes giving the public more ideas about how to watch out for signs of attempts to recruit young people into human trafficking, which frequently targets girls ages 11 to 14.

Other goals include leting Iowans know about the size and scope of the problem and how to spot signs of it happening in large, crowded places, such as sporting events, truck stops, malls or county and state fairs and how to report suspicious activity.

“In small towns and cities, it’s easy to think that kind of crime isn’t

Jason W. Brooks /Daily News A new club was formed at Newton High School this year, called Teens Against Human Trafficking, to help provide awareness to fellow students about what they describe as an important issues.

happening, but that belief is what allows it to go on,” Lilienthal said.

Thorpe said the club won’t need to do much fundraising — time is the main resource, used to reach out to other students and the public to educate about trafficking. A small amount of materials are needed to create items like the handmade posters seen at NHS. There are several national and state sources for items such as anti-trafficking literature and printed materials, produced by organizations such as the “Blue Campaign.”

Posters about trafficking, both printed

and handmade, can already be seen in the hallways at NHS. Wyre said the club would like to host information booths at meal times in the NHS cafeteria and at school athletic events and other activities, add pertinent items to the morning public address announcements and host public showings of documentaries and presentations.

Tremel said there are also plans to get teams of four students trained to make small-group presentations to civic organizations such as Kiwanis, Rotary and the Lions Club.

Lilienthal said it’s important for the club

to not only reach out to fellow students, but also to younger students in Newton Schools. She said there have been discussions about what assistance or materials the club could get from Iowa State Patrol Public Resource Officer Doug Cutts.

“Online safety is an important part of this, because sometimes kids get slowly pulled into trafficking situations there,” Lilienthal said.

Formal collaboration with citizens organizations, such as Newton Says No to Human Trafficking, hasn’t been initiated yet. However, all four class officers agreed such teamwork is a pos-

sibility.

Since many NHS students end up furthering their educations after high school, Wyre said, it’s important to have a solid understanding of dangers and how to spot them.

“Trafficking isn’t always a far-away problem,” she said. “It could involve someone you know.”

Report all cases or suspicious circumstances to local police or to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, 1-800-373-7888 or text HELP to 233733.

Colleges pushed to note sexual misconduct on transcripts KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Colleges that expel students whom they suspect of having committed sexual assault are being asked to go further by specifying the reason for expulsion on their transcripts.

Victims’ advocates say it’s critical to ensuring

that such students don’t end up on other campuses without their new schools knowing the potential risk and to holding them accountable, long term, so they can’t just move on with a clean slate.

Virginia and New York already have such a requirement and a Cali-

fornia congresswoman, Rep. Jackie Speier, introduced a bill Thursday that would expand it nationwide while allowing such notations to eventually be expunged. Speier, a Democrat from the Bay Area, said most schools already note incidents of cheating on students’ records, so

it makes sense to note if someone was expelled for sexual misconduct.

“Sexual assault is a far more serious offense that deserves at least as much, if not greater, scrutiny,” Speier told The Associated Press in an email last month.

Local & State News Donations Continued from Page 1A “As the weather has turned colder I have taken kids down there (to the clothing closet) to try and get pants and there aren’t many options for them,” Fitzgerald said.

The need for warm clothes for BMS students has been consistent in past years.

“I think its been about the same ever since I’ve been here — there’s always a big need here,” Van Arkel said. “I’m just hoping with the more knowledge that there is in the community, that there will be more donations — I believe that the help is there if the awareness is made.”

Geer said she recently helped a student find some winter attire and his face lit up at the sight of having new items.

“He was just beside him-

self,” Geer said.

Gently used and clean items can be dropped off at the front office from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Another way students at BMS and the NCSD recently have received assistance is through the food pantry. The food pantry has only been up and running since September through the Food Bank of Iowa.

The food pantry is open to all students in the NCSD and also offers some hygiene items. Last month, the pantry assisted 40 families and 130 people, Michaela Gunsaulus, a success coach at BMS and who also runs the food pantry, said.

The Newton Senior High School also houses a clothing closet and has felt support from the community since the spring of 2015.

Abby Lamont, an administrative assistant in the career center at NHS, runs the clothing closet. She said the closet

has assisted 75 repeat students and 100 overall each year.

The items that are usually needed are footwear, such as, tennis shoes and boots, and undergarments.

“We couldn’t run without the support of the community,” Lamont said.

Items can be donated to the front desk of NHS from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Similarly, the St. Nick’s Christmas Club houses a large need, as there are still 150 families remaining of the 223 that were on this year’s Christmas adoption list. The list also includes 75 children among those families.

Club president Julie Bak said, “This year has been a little more stressful.”

Bak correlates the need to the local economy.

“What we are missing in this town, I’m not sure if its unique to us, but when Maytag left town and Newton

Partnership Continued from Page 1A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jasper County Economic Development Corporation Director Chaz Allen attended Thursday’s Greater Des Moines Partnership Legislative Leadership Luncheon.

Water quality and local tax options were among the priorities discussed by Sen. Rob Hogg and two other state legislators during the luncheon’s panel discussion.

Hogg said his home city of Cedar Rapids is in the third year of a 10year local sales tax plan — one that helped pay for flood-related costs.

Oldson said making taxes work in a way that would help pay for water quality is tough work.

“I’ve been making efforts on tax reform the whole 14 years I’ve been in the legislature,” she said. “When you get down into the nitty gritty, it’s not easy. Fortunately, we all get along pretty well. What you see in the

Manufacturing closed up, we lost a lot of the middle-management income folks who used to come in and adopt our families,” she said. “The economy hasn’t rebounded to the caliber it had when Maytag was in full swing, and we have families who are in need.”

The St. Nick’s Christmas Club has been an asset to helping Jasper County families for the past 28 years as club volunteers graciously do the shopping and annually assist 600 children. Bak said their mission is to make sure that the children in Jasper County have a Merry Christmas.

“We want every child to have a new outfit — pants, shirt, shoes, socks underwear and one thing off of their wish list,” Bak said. “We have some wonderful people who go above the call of duty.”

The St. Nick’s Christmas Club adoption book is available at the Newton Daily News

press are the hot issues, but generally, we work well together.”

Whitver said there are water quality proposals he likes. He said Republicans having control of the governorship and both sides of the Legislature means there will still be opposition, but voters will get to see GOP solutions enacted, and he’s confident the public will see positive results.

“In the past, I think a lot of really good legislation has been stopped by one party or the other,” he said.

After the event, Allen told the Newton Daily News he doesn’t see the

office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

Families are listed with information about each child, including clothing sizes and items they would like to receive. Those adopting families must commit to providing new clothing items — underwear, socks, a shirt and pants — and at least one toy off the child’s wish list.

For those unable to adopt a family but would like to support the group with a monetary donation, send checks payable to St. Nick’s Christmas Club to P.O. Box 162, Newton, IA 50208.

“We hope that every kid in Jasper County has a memorable and joyous Christmas,” Bak said. “We couldn’t do this without the community’s support.”

majority-holding Republicans making a big push to create a new tax or increase existing taxes significantly to pay for water quality projects.

“I don’t see a new tax coming in,” Allen said.

“There are about three major proposals out there, but I’ll have to review each one.”

Allen said he doubts Kim Reynolds, the lieutenant governor who is taking over the governor’s duties as Gov. Terry Branstad departs to be the U.S. ambassador to China, will bring in an entirely new method of paying for water quality improvements.

The Partnership’s priorities mention water quality, supporting Branstad’s proposal and other methods to address the issue at the watershed level.

The other Partnership priorities include: • Reducing corporate state income tax rates to increase competitiveness.

• A thorough renovation of the State Historical Museum and State Historical Building.

• Supporting the Future Ready Iowa initiative to help close skills gaps.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

‘Beautiful’ from start to finish W

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Dec. 9, 2016

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

hen going to a stage show you haven’t seen before, there is always some apprehension. One never quite knows what to expect. A little research can help by looking up the story beforehand; however, personally, I like to do just a little reading and that’s it. I want to form my own opinion and hate to spoil the experience before curtain.

I had heard excellent things about “Beautiful — a Carole King Musical,” so I had an inkling it would be a good show. What the packed house at the Des Moines Civic Center got opening night on Tuesday was so much more than just a “good show.” It was fantas-

tic from start to finish.

The story was well put together and told Carole King’s life story beautifully ... maybe that’s where the title comes. I knew of Carole King’s music.

“You’ve Got a Friend” is one of my favorite songs. I was absolutely amazed to learn all the songs King had wrote, most of them with her husband Gerry Goffin.

I have to admit I was doing a little shoulder dancing and toe-tapping during several of the numbers. It’s hard not to when you hear songs like “Locomotion” and “One Fine Day.” One of the most beautiful songs of the show was “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” I had no idea Carole King wrote the music for that.

This show will have you out of your

seat singing and dancing by the end, not only because it’s a good show but also because there’s a sing-along of “I Feel the Earth Move” during the curtain call. It was such a fun way to end the night.

The music is what attracts you to the performance, the story is what makes it amazing. That wouldn’t be possible without a great actress in the lead role. The entire performance rests on the shoulders of whoever plays the role of Carole.

Julia Knitel made the show come alive. She was wonderful in the role.

She was in nearly every scene and she stole every one of them. Her singing voice was amazing, but her style and musicality was what brought the whole performance together. Whenever Knitel cozied up to the piano to play a song, she seemed to morph into Carole King to the point you forgot the singer herself wasn’t actually in the room.

When she walked on stage and be-

gan singing “So Far Away,” she looked so much the part it was staggering.

Then later in the show when she played the tell-tale opening chords of “It’s Too Late,” it was unforgettable.

Her tone and inflection were impeccable.

I would love to go see this show again, any day of the week. The music alone is worth the price of admission. Each time the ensemble actors brought the songs to life as the groups who made them famous, it was like watching mini concerts from the 1960s and 1970s. But the show is so much more than that.

Knitel told the Newton Daily News that “Beautiful” is not another “jukebox” musical. She couldn’t have said it better. If you get the chance, go see this show. It’s story and empowering message speaks beyond Carole King’s talent and fame. The show will be at the Civic Center through Sunday.

So Anyway Dana King

The hanging of the Christmas bulbs Editor’s Note: This column was originally published Dec. 4, 2015.

Well, my house is decorated for the upcoming holidays. I do enjoy the festiveness of the garland and lights, the glimmering tree and the atmosphere of the season.

As I was putting the ornaments on my tree last week, I decided it’s time for a change. In the past, I’ve always been so excited to bring out the ornaments and “get my Christmas on.” This year, however, I stumbled ... several times actually. As I opened the tote full of tree adornments, I realized I was bored with the same trimmings I’d placed on my artificial spruce since 2004.

Maybe it’s just me.

So anyway...

My morning started off with the best of intentions. I’d taken down my usual array of faux greens and sprays, removing any semblance of autumn that had graced the interior of my home since September.

I brought several boxes up from the basement. I was excited to get a jump on my day’s mission.

I opened the cardboard box containing my 3-sectioned, pre-lit, synthetic, low maintenance nine foot tree. Piece by piece, I assembled the festive topiary, then plug each section of the miniature lights in to the next. I followed the numbered pieces of ducttape hubby had carefully labeled on each of the six strings entwined around every single branch … after the debacle of 2014. (We’ll just leave it at that.)

I was sure everything would be fine when I connected that one remaining plug into the outlet. But no — this was to be my Clark Griswold moment.

Three of my six 150-count light strings weren’t lit.

All of the wind came out of my sail. But in true Griswold fashion, I persevered — and 2.5 hours later, my tree was lit from ceiling to floor.

It was time for the rigorous and daunting ceremonial “placing of the bulbs” — usually an endeavor I take great pride in. But as I mentioned, after looking at my worn, weathered and rather humdrum collection of embellishments, I had difficulty mustering up much enthusiasm. But there was no turning back.

I had assigned myself this task, and I’m not one to leave a chore — which is exactly what this year’s decorating had turned into — incomplete.

This marathon session of seasonal decorating lasted from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Next year will be different though. Although I don’t participate in the madness known as Black Friday shopping, I am just frugal enough to wait until Dec. 26 to head out and take advantage of the 50 percent off discounts on all the Christmas decorations.

The only problem with that is, I’m never sure what I want — hence, my Christmas tree has looked the same since 2004.

Why we still need feminism From his campaign rhetoric to his transition appointments, our next president has placed himself squarely in a conservative movement calling itself the “alt-right.”

That movement, the Los Angeles Times reports, “generally embraces and promotes white nationalism, racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny.”

As a privileged, white, and heterosexual woman, I’ve never considered my rights under attack to the same degree as the other groups in that list. But to this incoming bunch, feminism is a dirty word.

For instance, Donald Trump’s chief strategist, Steve Bannon — a leading figure in the “alt-right” media — called feminists “a bunch of dykes.”

Maybe it’s time to review what feminism is, and why it emerged in the first place.

Odds are that most of us have no idea how bad women once had it. And men, before you check out, let me assure you that this is no man-hating screed. I have a hunch we’ll be on the same page, actually.

No doubt, you probably know that women couldn’t vote until 1920. And that women were once expected to be homemakers instead of pursuing careers. But what else are those uppity women whining about?

For starters, there’s the right to own things — like our own bodies.

At the founding of our nation,

Another View Jill Richardson women were bound by something called “coverture” — the idea that a married woman’s legal identity was subsumed under her husband’s. He owned property and voted for the both of them. And he had a legal right to her body.

This is what the first feminists opposed. Through their agitating, married women first won the right to own property in 1848. The right to vote followed in 1920, but marital rape wasn’t illegal in all 50 states until 1994.

Consider that. Just 22 years ago, a Texas man could still legally rape his wife as often as he chose. How dare those crazy man-hating feminists demand they not be raped!

But wait, there’s more.

Until 1970, states only permitted divorce when one of the spouses was found “at fault.” Only certain reasons were allowed — and falling out of love wasn’t one of them. In much of the country, neither was domestic violence.

Once married to your spouse, you were stuck with them unless they committed adultery, more or less. If your husband beat you, that was your problem.

Women who wished to work were relegated to “women’s jobs” like teaching, nursing, and secretarial work, and those jobs paid

less than “men’s work.” With men doing all the science, it took until 1966 for the “discovery” that women actually have orgasms.

Married couples couldn’t legally use birth control until 1965.

Since abortion was also illegal in much of the country, and since a man could have his way with his wife as he chose, women had no control over the number of children they had. (Unmarried Americans only gained the right to use birth control in 1972.)

Over the last two centuries, those are the issues feminists have fought for. So why does feminism still exist?

Because women still earn less than men for doing the same work. And because our bodies still don’t enjoy the full protection of the law. To put a finer point on it, the Stanford rapist served just three months in jail for raping a girl behind a dumpster.

Feminism isn’t about hating men or burning bras. It’s about women wanting to be treated like human beings who matter.

So when the white nationalist website Breitbart, under the management of Bannon, asked, “Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?” the correct answer is outrage that such a question is asked at all — or that the one who asked it is allowed anywhere near the White House.

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Dec. 9, 2016 www.newtondailynews.com | xxxxxxxxxxxx

Ex-military couple can’t agree on a continent to call home DEAR ABBY: My husband recently retired from the military. We have four school-aged children. The youngest is starting kindergarten, and I would like to go back to work and finally use my college degree. My husband wants to take a job overseas, but I would likely be unable to work due to the language barrier.

I want to settle down in a location I love, doing a job I love. My husband worked hard to get this job and I hate to discourage him. I didn’t realize I would feel so strongly about settling down until very recently. I don’t want to move and he doesn’t want to give up this job.

He suggested we live separately. Our marriage is otherwise happy, and due to the military we have had a long-distance marriage many times before, just not for as long as this would be. Should I try moving overseas? — WANTS TO SETTLE DOWN DEAR WANTS TO SETTLE DOWN: Yes, for the sake of your marriage, I think you should. And when you’re there, explore finding a way to put the degree you worked so hard to attain to use. The experience of living in a foreign country would be good for your children, and you might enjoy the adventure yourself. If that’s not the case, you can always return to the U.S. and see if a bi-continental marriage works for you.

HEALTHY DEAR TRYING TO STAY HEALTHY: Bravo to you for speaking up! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hospital-acquired infections have cost the hospital industry $30 billion and resulted in 100,000 patient deaths. A 2013 New York Times article reported that unless pushed to do so, hospital workers wash their hands only as little as 30 percent of the time they interact with patients. The problem is so widespread that some hospitals must monitor workers via video cameras or have them wear electronic badges to “encourage” compliance, while others have resorted to “bribing” workers to do the right thing.

You were not wrong to ask staffers at your daughter’s hospital to wash their hands. Nobody should feel reluctant to ask for something that is standard procedure.

Because many patients in hospitals and care facilities feel vulnerable and dependent, they fear that staff will “dislike” them if they ask for too much. For patients to request handwashing is not only in their best interest, but also the hospital’s. Too often, change doesn’t happen in the medical profession until patients speak up and advocate for their own well-being. You would not have been “sneered at” if your request hadn’t made those individuals feel defensive.

DEAR ABBY: I am writing this as I sit in a hospital at my daughter’s bedside. When staff comes into her room, she asks them to wash their hands in front of her before putting on their gloves. Several doctors took offense at this. We even posted a note on the door, asking the staff to wash up inside the room. Were we wrong? She doesn’t want to increase her risk of infection.

I would think that a patient worried about proper hygiene would not be sneered at by the people trying to get her healthy. — TRYING TO STAY

VINTON — A Benton County man convicted of killing his girlfriend has been given 40 years in prison.

David Miller was sentenced Thursday in Vinton. He’d been convicted in September of two counts of theft and voluntary manslaughter in the Oct. 25, 2015, death of 25-year-old Sabrina Janish, of Shellsburg.

Officers found Janish’s body next to a stolen truck at Miller’s mobile home north of Shellsburg. An autopsy showed she had been stabbed several times and strangled.

Child killed in central Iowa house fire PERRY — Firefighters say a child has died in a fire at a rural central Iowa house.

The fire was reported around 8 a.m.

Thursday in a house northwest of Perry.

Firefighters were told a child was trapped in an upstairs area of the house. Fire officials say that when crews arrived, the house was fully engulfed in flames. Officials confirmed that a child died in the fire. The identity of the child has not yet been released.

RIVERTON — A state audit of financial records for Riverton in southwest Iowa has discovered nearly $331,000 in improper or unsupported spending and collections not deposited, according to a state report issued Thursday. The special audit was undertaken at the request of city officials alarmed about transactions processed by former city clerk Carol Jennings from January 2008 through February 2015. Online court records don’t show that Jennings has been charged with any crime.

WEST DES MOINES — A nearly 80-yearold concert and event venue is for sale in West Des Moines. The owner of the Val Air Ballroom is asking $2.6 million for the property. The concern hall will continue hosting events while on the market, but venue’s future is unclear. The nonprofit Neighborhood Development Corp. said the building needs roughly $1.1 million in repairs to raise it to modern standards. But the group’s report also says the building would likely qualify for designation as a cultural landmark.

5 Bones found in Des Moines lake are human

DES MOINES — Police say the bones found in a Des Moines lake are human.

A police spokesman said Thursday that experts think the bones are from an education cadaver, but that’s not been confirmed. A kayaker spotted what he thought was a human jawbone Nov. 24 as he left the water at Gray’s Lake. The 167acre park is located at the site of a former gravel and sand excavation operation.

Trump Thank You Reynolds faces spotlight tour hits Des Moines in rise to Iowa governor

AP Photo President-elect Donald Trump, right, greets Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, left, as he welcomes him to the stage during a rally at Hy-Vee Hall on Thursday in Des Moines. Branstad has accepted Trump’s offer to become U.S. ambassador to China. About 6,000 supporters attended the event.

DES MOINES (AP) — For six years as lieutenant governor, Kim Reynolds has traveled throughout Iowa alongside the governor she described as her mentor and friend, but rarely has she been in the spotlight.

That’s about to change as Gov. Terry Branstad has accepted President-elect Donald Trump’s offer to become U.S. ambassador Reynolds to China — subject to Senate confirmation — giving Reynolds the opportunity to set priorities for the state as governor.

She would become the state’s first female governor and would hold the position until January 2019, when Branstad’s term would have ended.

So far, those who have worked with Reynolds describe her as an enthusias-

tic and genuine person, but they’re not sure what to expect from her as governor.

“Are there issues that weren’t as relevant to Gov. Branstad as might be relevant to her, that she’ll seize this opportunity to jump on? I don’t know what they would be. I’m sure there’s got to be some,” said Craig Williams, chairman of Carroll County Republicans.

Williams described Reynolds as someone who never forgets a face and always gives him a wave from across crowded rooms.

Gary Nystrom, a Boone County Republican, remembers a party event a few years ago at which Reynolds coolly stepped in to help Branstad answer questions. He’s seen her help out like that often, and he suggested it showed Reynolds has a command of issues and her own ideas for the state.

“Kim Reynolds will be her own person,” he said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News NCMP’s Caleb Gaylor soars through the water during the butterfly leg of the 200-meter individual medley race in Thursday’s home dual against Boone at the Newton YMCA. Gaylor won the individual medley in 2:24.88. He also won the 100-meter freeestyle race and anchored NCMP’s winning 200 freestyle relay.

NCMP boys fall to Boone in the pool

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Two similar sized swimming teams squared off on Thursday at Newton’s YMCA. NCMP’s Cardinals hosted the Boone Toreadors in a dual, and both teams number around 20 swimmers.

The Toreadors had a little more depth than the Cardinals, winning the varsity dual, 108-60.

With head coach Sarah Pat-

terson out with illness, NCMP assistant coach Quin Knepper had the Cardinals lined up for the events.

“Two smaller teams tonight, and we competed the whole time,” Knepper said.

“We’re in the midst of four meets in a five-day stretch, and I saw evidence of it, but the guys kept competing. They are tired, but that’s swimming and why we practice.”

NCMP won four events, including a close finish in the

200-meter freestyle relay. The foursome of Clay Trotter, Mason Lee, Logan Heisdorffer and Caleb Gaylor combined for a winning time of 1 minute, 48.32 seconds. Boone’s relay finished in 1:50.91.

“I thought our team did really well tonight,” Gaylor said.

“Our relays are going well this season. We have some really solid relays.”

Gaylor claimed the win in the 200 individual medley in a battle in the water against

Boone’s Cole Harper. Gaylor out touched Harper for the win in 2:24.88 to 2:25.19. NCMP’s Carter Briggs was fifth in 2:42.49 and Izaak Miller took sixth in 3:17.77.

Gaylor made the final turn in the 100 freestyle and took the lead against Boone’s Reece Powell, winning in 58.32 seconds to Powell’s 1:01.60.

Heisdorffer was fourth in 1:04.02 and Clay Meyer took fifth in 1:11.44 for NCMP. “I dropped time in two of

my races this week. I got the times I wanted to get,” Gaylor said.

Adam Hunter made it two in a row for the Cardinals in the 400 freestyle race. Hunter won at home on Tuesday then shaved off almost three seconds from his winning time on Thursday. Hunter took first against Boone in 4:51.35.

Defense fuels Newton Cardinal girls break losing skid with win over Bobcats boys’ victory over Bobcats

MARSHALLTOWN — Snapping a threegame losing streak, Newton High’s girls defeated host Marshalltown, 4538, in a non-conference game on Thursday.

Cardinal guards Randi Walters and Ryanne Rausch led the way for Newton. Walters fired in 13 points, pulled seven rebounds, had two assists and made three steals. Rausch scored 12 points, grabbed six rebounds and had two assists.

The Cardinals owned a 7-4 lead after one quarter of play. They outscored the Bobcats 1410 in the second period to hold a 21-14 halftime lead.

Marshalltown pushed Newton in the second half. The Cardinals maintained their lead on a 12-11 scoring edge in

Brandon Sharp said.

“We are starting to get everyone on the same page. We had players grow in their roles.”

MARSHALLTOWN — Teams have off nights shooting the basketball.

Good teams always play solid defense.

Newton High’s Cardinals had a sub-par offensive outing Thursday night against host Marshalltown. Their defense was still solid to fuel the Cardinals’ 64-34 win.

“This was a great team win,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said. “We depended on our defense tonight in a grind-out affair at the Roundhouse.

We didn’t shoot at a high percentage in this game, but our defense is something which has been getting better each game.”

The Cardinals shot 42.5 percent, 23-of-54, from the field while holding the Bobcats to 20 percent, 11of-54, from the field.

is the season of hustle and bustle. We finally have winter temperatures. We have had our first snow of the winter come and go, which is the way I like it.

It is also the season of special occasions. In the four years I have been covering Newton High School athletics, I’ve admired how the administration, coaches and athletes work together on community projects.

One of those is the NHS annual Christmas In The Gym, which is Dec. 16 when Newton hosts Grinnell in Little Hawkeye Conference basketball games. Fans are asked to bring a toy to donate. Santa Claus is expected to make a visit. There will be a performance by the NHS Pacesetters and the

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets NHS pep band will be playing during the varsity games.

On Dec. 17, the NHS boys’ basketball team is having a fundraiser — Newton’s Madden Challenge — at the NHS Center for Performance. NHS students are encouraged to sign up and pay the $20 entry fee to compete in a Madden video game tournament.

The competition is from noon to 8 p.m. There will be prizes for first, second and third places. It is open to the first 64 participants to sign up. Students can sign up in the high school main office.

The Madden Challenge is open for the public to be an audience. A concession stand will be open and the team will ask for donations.

Every athletic team has community projects. The NCMP Aquagirls raised funds for the Blue Lips Foundation in

the fall. The Blue Lips Foundation is dedicated to early detection and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

One of the big school and community wide projects comes up in 2017 — Coaches vs. Cancer. This year’s Coaches vs. Cancer basketball games are Jan. 20 when the Cardinal teams host Indianola in Little Hawkeye Conference play. Special activities are planned throughout the week and during the games to raise funds to fight cancer.

Back to the competition right now.

It’s tough to think about swimming in the winter, but we’ve got it for the high school boys. Newton/Colfax-Mingo/Pella — the NCMP boys’ swim team — has had five meets this season. They wrapped up a four meet home stand Thursday against Boone at the Newton YMCA. The boys’ swim team has members from Newton, Colfax-Mingo and Pella high schools competing and decided to go by NCMP this season. The team did not have a mascot nickname similar to the NCMP Aquagirls until this week. Head coach Sarah Patterson said it was tough cheering out NCMP

all the time so she asked the boys if they minded going by Cardinals.

So the rest of the swim season, it will be the NCMP Cardinals. They have one more home dual meet on Jan. 19 against Grinnell. NCMP will host the North Central Iowa Conference swim meet on Jan. 28 at the Newton YMCA with Boone, Decorah, Grinnell, Indianola, Oskaloosa, Vinton-Shellsburg and Williamsburg.

NCMP learned its district meet assignment Wednesday. The boys’ district swim meets are Feb. 4. The Cardinals are in the district hosted

by Johnston. Also in the district are Ames, Atlantic, Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln/Thomas Jefferson, Des Moines Roosevelt, Lewis Central and Marshalltown.

Next week, Newton has two home bowling meets Monday and Saturday, two home wrestling meets Tuesday and Thursday and a home Little Hawkeye Conference girl/boy basketball doubleheader against Grinnell on Friday. Tis the season.

Tigerhawk grapplers win two more duals at Saydel

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — The Colfax-Mingo wrestling team added two more dual wins to its overall record Thursday night.

The Tigerhawks improved to 8-4 on the season after collecting a 41-33 win over Roland-Story and a 59-21 victory over South Hamilton. The only loss on the night came against the host Eagles, who defeated Colfax-Mingo 43-27.

Volquez finalizes contract with Marlins MIAMI (AP) — Edinson Volquez admits he was “tired” toward the second half of last season. That attributed to his bloated 5.37 ERA, he said.

The 33-year-old right-hander, fresh off completing his $22 million, two-year contract with the Miami Marlins, assured everyone Friday that he is now rested and ready to go.

Volquez, who has made more than 30 starts in each of the past four years, was 10-11 last season.

Volquez gets $9 million next season and $13 million in 2018. He joins a rotation shaken by the loss of ace Jose Fernandez, who died in a boating accident a week before the end of the season in September.

Volquez said he doesn’t view himself as a replacement for Fernandez in the Marlins’ rotation.

“Jose’s death was a sad moment for MLB,” he said. “He was a great pitcher, and he was only 24. But I don’t want to be Jose. I want to be me.”

Nationals get CF Eaton from White Sox for three young pitchers OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — The Washington Nationals did make a deal with the Chicago White Sox during their hometown winter meetings, after all, only it was for center fielder Adam Eaton, not lefty Chris Sale.

The price of Wednesday’s swap still was steep: Washington parted with three young pitchers, including top prospect Lucas Giolito, hard-throwing Reynaldo Lopez — who made the team’s postseason roster — and 2016 first-round draft pick Dane Dunning.

“It’s never easy to let go of your prospects,” Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said. “You feel like a proud daddy when they get to the big leagues.”

The trade came on the last day of the so-called “hot stove” sessions outside the nation’s capital, allowing Rizzo to avoid leaving empty-handed after failing in a bid to get Sale, who instead went from the White Sox to the Boston Red Sox. “We discussed (Eaton) and several other players with the White Sox for quite a while

now. It did gain momentum after the Sale deal was done,” Rizzo said. “It actually came together fairly quickly over the last couple of days.”

Washington’s GM also had acknowledged talking with the Pittsburgh Pirates about a deal for center fielder Andrew McCutchen.

By putting Eaton in center, the Nationals can move Trea Turner — runner-up for 2016 NL Rookie of the Year — back to his natural position, shortstop.

Eaton, who turned 28 on Tuesday, has three guaranteed

seasons left in a $23.5 million, five-year contract that calls for him to earn $4 million next year, $6 million in 2018 and $8.4 million in 2019.

The deal includes a $9.5 million team option for 2020 with a $1.5 million buyout and, if 2020 is exercised, a 2021 team option for $10.5 million with a $1.5 million buyout.

Eaton has a .284 career batting average with a .357 onbase percentage and a .414 slugging percentage, with 34 homers and 177 RBIs in five seasons in the majors with

the White Sox and the Arizona Diamondbacks. He led the AL in triples in two of the past three seasons.

“He’s a high-energy guy,” Rizzo said. “There’s an edge to him.”

Here’s the way Nationals manager Dusty Baker described Eaton: “The only negative I’ve heard is you have to calm him down a little bit, because he goes 100 percent all the time, which is not a bad way to play this game. ...

He’s not afraid to get dirty and grimy, greasy, nasty — do everything there is to beat you.”

Happy, healthy Stewart leaving NASCAR so he can race more

AP Photo Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill avoids a tackle attempt by Oakland Raiders linebacker Perry Riley during the second half in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday. The Chiefs won 21-13.

Chiefs hold off Raiders, take control of AFC West KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs now control the AFC West.

Tyreek Hill had touchdowns receiving and on a punt return, Kansas City’s defense made life miserable for Oakland quarterback Derek Carr, and the Chiefs held off the Raiders 21-13 on a frigid Thursday night to move into a first-place tie with their longtime divisional rivals.

But with two wins over the Raiders this season, the Chiefs (10-3) hold the tiebreaker over Oakland (10-3), giving them a leg-up in the division race and for a first-round playoff bye.

“This was as big as it gets for a regular-season game,” said Alex Smith, who had 261 yards passing with a touchdown and interception. “We don’t get caught up in all the must-win stuff, that’s not how we operate, but we knew the stakes for sure.”

Charcandrick West had a touchdown run for the Chiefs, who returned home after backto-back road wins to beat Oakland for the seventh time in their last eight meetings.

It came at a big cost, though: The Chiefs lost Derrick Johnson

for the rest of the season after the star linebacker ruptured his left Achilles just before halftime.

“I felt a little bit of a letdown when it happened,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “But the last thing D.J. would have wanted was a letdown.”

Carr was 17-of-41 for 117 yards passing for Oakland, though the ugly stat line wasn’t entirely his fault. Seth Roberts dropped just about everything thrown at him, Amari Cooper couldn’t adjust to a long throw for a would-be touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and several more passes were dropped to the rock-hard turf of Arrowhead Stadium on a night when wind chills approached single digits.

Latavius Murry led the Raiders with 103 yards rushing and a touchdown.

“I liked our effort, just didn’t like the execution,” said Jack Del Rio, who remained winless in four tries against Kansas City as the Raiders’ coach. “In all three phases we came up a little short.”

Hill didn’t seem bothered by the cold, scorching the Raiders for a 36-yard TD reception before bringing a punt back 78

yards for another score. It made him the first rookie since Gale Sayers in 1965 with touchdowns on the ground, through the air and on punt and kickoff returns in a single season.

It was still 21-3 when Johnson went down, and his injury seemed to briefly deflate them.

Oakland proceeded to march 92 yards for its lone touchdown just before halftime.

But the Raiders kept coming up empty with their chances in the second half.

Smith threw a pick on the second play of the third quarter, but Oakland had to settle for a field goal. And when Smith was strip-sacked by Khalil Mack on the next play, the Raiders again had to try a field goal — only this time, holder Marquette King couldn’t get the snap down.

The Raiders’ last chance came with about two minutes left, when a questionable pass interference penalty and a fourthand-4 conversion got them deep into Kansas City territory.

But after a false start on fourth-and-1, Carr’s pass toward the end zone was batted incomplete.

Bowl Stories: Finales, contrasts in style, coaching carousel

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press The Alabama invitational, um, College Football Playoff is set, along with 38 other bowl games big and small.

From coaching intrigue to record-setting runs there should be plenty of story lines to follow The Playoff Top-ranked Alabama and Nick Saban are attempting to win an unprecedented fifth national title in eight seasons, including back-to-back for a second time, and add to what can already be considered the greatest run in the history of college football.

The Peach Bowl semifinal between the Tide and No. 4 Washington it will also be the first meeting of Saban and Washington coach Chris Petersen, who has an .826 winning percentage since he first became a head coach with Boise State in 2006.

Petersen’s Boise teams were known for upsets. Alabama is a two-touchdown favorite.

The Fiesta Bowl semifinal between No. 2 Clemson and No. 3 Ohio State is a rematch of the 2014 Orange Bowl won by Clemson 40-35.

That game completed a late-season meltdown of Ohio State’s defense that led coach Urban Meyer to make staff and scheme changes that have helped the Buckeyes have one of the top defenses in the country three years running.

Coaching Carousel Houston will go into its bowl game with an interim coach after Tom Herman left for Texas and

a few other schools could be in similar situations.

— No. 12 Western Michigan is on its way to the biggest bowl game in school history, a matchup with No. 8 Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl, but coach P.J. Fleck has been the subject of much coaching speculation.

— Boise State and Baylor meet Dec. 27 at Cactus Bowl in Phoenix. It will be the last game for Jim Grobe, Baylor’s acting head coach who took over on short notice after Art Briles was fired in the summer. Broncos coach Bryan Harsin is being mentioned as candidate for Oregon.

Style Clash The best bowls are often the ones between teams that take very different approaches to offense.

— Navy will bring its triple-option (averaging 327 yards rushing per game) to the Armed Forces Bowl to face Louisiana Tech, which averages 360 yards passing per game behind quarterback Ryan Higgins.

— Minnesota faces Washington State in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27, but only the Cougars have the pedigree to live up to the bowl’s high-scoring tradition. Minnesota has thrown eight touchdown passes, tied for 124th in the nation. The Cougars have 39 touchdown passes.

— North Carolina’s up-tempo offense matches Stanford’s plodding, traditional pro-style in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 30.

In Need of a Strong Finish The Music City Bowl in Nashville was definitely not what Tennessee (8-4) and coach Butch

Jones had in mind this season after the Volunteers beat Florida in September. But here the Vols are facing No. 24 Nebraska (9-3).

Not only did the Vols blow a chance to win the SEC East by losing to South Carolina, but they also lost to Vanderbilt.

On the other side, No. 24 Nebraska’s second season under coach Mike Riley was a huge step forward from five wins to nine.

But the Cornhuskers were a top10 team in late October and their best victory of the season was against Minnesota.

Finales A great group of junior running backs could all be playing their final college games.

— Christian McCaffrey at Stanford should find some room to run against a North Carolina defense that had trouble stopping teams on the ground late in the season.

— No. 19 LSU’s Leonard Fournette faces No. 15 Louisville in the Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31.

Fournette has been hampered by an ankle injury, but it would be nice to get one more look at him running for the Tigers.

— No. 10 Florida State against No. 6 Michigan in the Orange Bowl is one of the best bowls and a big part of that is Seminoles star Dalvin Cook.

— Pitt’s James Conner has been one of the best stories in college football, returning from cancer treatment to run for 1,060 yards and score 20 touchdowns.

He and the 22nd-ranked Panthers face Northwestern in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium on Dec. 28.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tony Stewart sat in a casino ballroom wearing a coat and tie he no doubt wanted to rip off and brushed off a question about whether he was happy his NASCAR career was over.

“It’s not over yet,” Stewart said. “Still got a banquet.”

And Stewart wanted no part of being called a retiree, either.

“That’s the funniest part about everybody saying we’re retiring because my schedule is probably going to be twice as hectic as it was this year,” he said. “But it’s stuff that I’m looking forward to, so I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Stewart’s signature biting and cutting remarks arrived on cue this week at NASCAR’s awards event that culminated with Friday night’s season-ending banquet.

But Stewart was constantly smiling, too, as he goes through the final paces and duties before ending his 18-year career as a driver on NASCAR’s top circuit.

“This was not the way we would have scripted our last season in the sport by any means, but it’s still been a lot of fun,” Stewart said, referring to the offseason broken back that kept him out of the Daytona 500.

“But I’m glad with the way it’s ended up and I’m ready to start the next chapter.”

The three-time series champion overcame his ATV accident to win at Sonoma — his first victory since 2013 — and qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup playoffs before being eliminated in the first round.

“It wasn’t the way we wanted to finish the year, but we were glad we were one of 16 teams that had the opportunity,” Stewart said.

The driver nicknamed Smoke finished with 49 wins in 618 races and didn’t hesitate when asked about his favorite memories of his final season.

“I think it’s two things,” he said. “Obviously, the win at Sonoma was big. That was a place I really enjoy and to race somebody I really respect in Denny (Hamlin) like that. We both leaned on each other and knew at the end of the day there was nothing personal with it.

That’s what made it fun.

“And I think going down pit road to start the race at Homestead

w a s probably the coolest moment of the year for me.”

Stewart was h o n ored at Stewart the season-ending race that saw Jimmie Johnson win his seventh series title.

And while Johnson was the headline for Friday’s awards show, Stewart has been the center of attention this week on the Las Vegas Strip.

Thursday night’s fan event turned into an impromptu Stewart roast that included a surprise appearance by his boyhood hero, four-time Indianapolis 500 champion A.J. Foyt.

“The only thing I told Tony when he started was, ‘Don’t act like I do because I acted like a fool many times,’” Foyt said. “How do you think that worked out?”

Stewart will be long remembered for his fiery temper, but also his pure driving skills and love of the sport at the grassroots level.

One of the reasons he stepped away from NASCAR was so he could schedule 50-60 races on dirt tracks next season.

“And it’s going to be in a lot of different types of cars,” Stewart said.

So you’ll still see Stewart behind the wheel. And he’ll continue his NASCAR presence as a team owner.

Stewart has no regrets with stepping away as a NASCAR driver at age 45. And he joked he’s really leaving, taking a shot at Jeff Gordon, who retired then came back to fill in for the injured Dale Earnhardt.

Stewart leaves feeling healthy and, of course, feisty.

“If I had known I was going to feel this good after breaking my back I would have broke my back 15 years ago,” Stewart said. “We thought at the end of this year that we were going to have two surgeries to take rods and screws out of my leg and my back. But meeting with the surgeons they said everything is looking so good that we don’t really want to aggravate anything.

“I feel great. I’m excited I don’t have to go under the knife again and, hopefully, I can make it through January without having to go back to the hospital.”

AP source: Chapman, Yankees reach deal for $86M for five years OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — Aroldis Chapman found a spot in a most familiar bullpen — a very rich spot, too.

The hard-throwing closer reached agreement to return to the New York Yankees on Wednesday night with the highest-priced contract ever for a relief pitcher, an $86 million deal for five years.

A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that the contract was pending a physical.

Chapman gets an $11 million signing bonus, of which $1 million is payable this year and $5 million in each of the next two years, and annual salaries of $15 million.

He has an opt out after 2019, a full no-trade provision for the first three years and then a limited no-trade that says he can’t be dealt to any of the five California teams or Seattle without his consent.

Fox Sports first reported the agreement.

high-energy weekend of social buzz. Venus is newly exploring Aquarius, too, so expect the conversations to get zany and progressive.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll be presented with the possibility of a different kind of working arrangement. Keep an open mind, because at first this may not sound like what you had in mind. This one is (so) worth a try!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Now they say, “I can’t believe you went there.” The truth is that you’ve always been “there”; it’s just that now you’re no longer willing

to keep it to yourself. It will feel good to express your true thoughts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Opposing forces can provide interesting tension, or they can pull so hard they tear things asunder. Why risk it? Avoid getting caught in the middle of a contest of strong wills.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Don’t assume the people around you are on the same page. Future hassle can be avoided by explaining things better than you think you should have to. While you’re at it, ask questions to make sure they’re really catching on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be careful not to get so caught

up in the minutiae of practical concerns that you ignore the feelings that are really driving this scene. There’s more to gain by tuning into the emotional world of others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Even those who love you very much may not understand you as well as you like. Relationships can be like fun-house mirrors that reflect back a warped and distorted version of you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

There will be a reward for impressing that certain so-and-so.

No need to posture, perform or stretch the truth in the least.

Nothing is more interesting than the real deal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Laziness can lead to inventing an easier way. Anger can motivate change. Fear can promote safety; sadness can inspire bonding; restlessness is the precursor to adventure.

Whatever you’re feeling, there’s a benefit to it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes the kindest thing isn’t the nicest thing.

Besides, maybe you’re better suited to do the thing that challenges people, makes them think or makes them laugh.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). How do you get to the root of a problem? You dig. Expect resistance, but don’t let it deter you. The hard ground can be cracked with more substantial

tools.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The right thing to do might not be readily apparent, but that’s what the wise one is for. Use this person. If you can’t find this person, use the internet.

You should be able to come up with a solution by sundown.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The fair price for goods or services isn’t always the price being offered. There are longreaching benefits to paying what’s fair, even if it means giving more than is being asked of your wallet.

Iowa upsets 25th-ranked Iowa State IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa State spent the last 61 weeks in the Top 25.

After getting crushed by Iowa, the Cyclones’ run as a ranked team is likely finished.

Peter Jok scored 23 points and the Hawkeyes upset 25thranked Iowa State 78-64 on Thursday night, snapping a three-game losing skid against its instate rival.

Isaiah Moss had 14 points to help the Hawkeyes (5-5), who start three freshmen, beat a Power Five opponent for this first time this season.

“I felt like we had the potential to be better than we were playing,” said Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, whose once-reeling team lost to Nebraska-Omaha 98-89 last weekend. “What we’re able to do is grow and learn.”

Iowa shot 59 percent in the first half, including 6-of-10 from 3-point range, and jumped ahead by as much as 46-29.

The Cyclones (6-3) slowly chipped away at that deficit in the second half, but a 7-0 run by the Hawkeyes after Iowa State got to 60-53 finished them off.

“We were bad,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. “We lost that game in the first half.”

3-point range. Ball movement was again an issue for Iowa State, which had just nine assists on 25 made baskets — although it did miss about a dozen layups.

“We have to play a certain way. We have to play with great pace. We have to play with great spacing. We have to play with great ball movement. That’s when we’re really

good,” Prohm said.

The Big Picture Iowa State: The Cyclones looked awful in the opening 20 minutes — which they closed quite fittingly with an air ball — and they couldn’t shoot their way out of trouble.

Stretches like that are starting to become commonplace for Iowa State, and that’s a bad omen with Big 12 play a few weeks away.

Iowa: After getting hammered by the likes of Virginia and Notre Dame, the Hawkeyes finally put it together against a good opponent. The Hawkeyes beat Iowa State in transition and on the defensive glass, and their freshman-dominated lineup was hardly fazed in their debuts in this heated rivalry.

Poll Implications Losing to one of just two Power Five teams (Oregon State) with losing records as the 25th-ranked team in America won’t look good to most voters — and that’s an understatement.

Rising Star McCaffery looks like he unearthed a gem in freshman Cordell Pemsl, a three-star recruit from nearby Dubuque that most folks didn’t think could contribute like he has right away. Pemsl is averaging 17 points in his last four

games after an 11-point, five-rebound performance Thursday. “People have to respect us. We may be young, but we don’t use that as an excuse,” Pemsl said.

The Numbers Deonte Burton, Monte Morris, Naz Mitrou-Long and Nick Weiler-Babb all scored 10 for Iowa State. But only Weiler-Babb made at least half his shots. ... Iowa had 13 assists and turnovers. ... Jok also had a team-high nine rebounds. ... The Cyclones like to run. But they had just four fast-break points.

Hawkeye State Iowa’s fans delighted in finally beating their rivals again, chanting “Hawkeye State!” in the closing seconds. But despite the loss, Iowa State is much more of a potential conference and NCAA Tournament threat than the Hawkeyes, who will undoubtedly continue to have ups and down because they’re so young.

Up Next Iowa State plays Drake in Des Moines on Dec. 17. The Bulldogs are reeling after coach Ray Giacoletti abruptly resigned Tuesday less than four years into his tenure.

Iowa also will play in next weekend’s doubleheader in the state capital, facing Northern Iowa on Saturday.
