Carter gives unique look at holy land, scripture in new book ‘Muted Hosannas’ book signing event Saturday

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Gearbots are a team of Newton-area students set compete in a Lego robotics regional qualifier competition in Marshalltown on Saturday. In the front row, from left, are Carlee Zahurones, Isaac Freidman, Joshua Ness and Brian Ness. In back are Michael Chuigu, Zach Van Waardhuizen, Cutter Benac, Nathan Simon, Caleb Ness, Damon Reynolds and Beth Zahurones. Not pictured are Hunter Kennedy, Collin Berkley and Maddi Pierce.

Lego Gearbots prep for Saturday’s Marshalltown regional

It’s not often you come across a published book from a local author, or one as cultured, thought-provoking and artistic as “Muted Hosannas” from Newton resident and Salvation Army Major Jeff Carter.

Last summer, Carter’s friend and fellow Salvation Army officer Kevin Jackson enjoyed Carter’s writing and asked him if he would be interested in publishing. Carter obliged.

The book is large in size at 9 x 12 inches and has 70 color glossy pages full of poetry and photography by Carter.

Muted Hosannas is divided into three sections — Part One: Holy Land, Part Two: Advent to Pentecost and Part Three: Haiku.

Holy Land is a series of poems inspired during a trip to Israel and Palestine earlier this year including “Eating an Orange on Mount Caramel on Ash Wednesday” and “Pray for the Peace of Bethlehem.”

Robotics competition works entirely with Legos

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News It’s not unusual for a young person to spend the better part of a Saturday with Legos. However, a group of Newton young people who will be around Legos this Saturday won’t be simply messing around. The group will be trying to get to a state-championship level.

The Jasper County 4-H Gearbots will be one of more than a dozen teams to compete in the Marshalltown Community College regional qualifiers of the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Lego League, with the top 10 teams advancing to a state championship next month at Iowa State University in Ames.

The competition, put together

by ISU’s College of Engineering, allows teams to spend about three months preparing for regionals,

getting an all-Lego robot ready to perform select tasks. Each year has a theme, and there are “practice” contests to prepare for regionals, but there isn’t really a season or schedule or regular competitions.

Kara Warrick, the ISU Extension & Outreach Jasper County 4-H Youth Assistant, said the Gearbots have to be ready to answer questions at the competition. “It’s not just about using the robotics,” she said. “Each member of the team has to be knowledgable.”

Warrick said the Gearbots range in age from 9 to 14. “We’ve got one high school sophomore on the team,” she said. “The rest are younger.”

The Junior FLL program is for ages 6 to 9. Warrick said there was a “practice” competition held recently in Ottumwa, but it was on a Saturday — the Gearbots’ regular meeting day.

“We didn’t go to that, because everyone felt like that would take away from preparing for Marshalltown,” she said.

There are 13 other regional competitions held throughout Iowa. Some were held last weekend.

“We really needed the extra week to get ready,” Warrick said.

“We took a lot of time off at Thanksgiving.”

Warrick said while the team would love to qualify and go to Ames, but the competition is mostly about working together and exploring the science of robotics.

“I don’t think we’ve ever had a Newton team make it to state,” Warrick said. “But the core values are here, and those are learning and having fun.”

The Morgan Family Christmas concert coming to First Christian Church

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Homestyle Family Christmas featuring The Phil and Pam Morgan Family will take over the First Christian Church, 314 E. Second St. N., at 4 p.m.

Sunday. As a part of the family’s annual tour, the concert will consist of the group’s close family harmony and instrumental talent to bring a fresh sound to both classic and contemporary Christmas carols. 4 His Grace Quartet from Newton will also perform at the concert.

Modeled after the classic Christmas television variety shows of the past, the sanctuary will be converted into a giant living room with special guests stopping by to share special holiday memories and join in a song.

The door will open at 3:30 p.m. and seating is on a first come basis. An offering will be taken to suppose the Morgan’s ministry efforts for 2015.

Both from Kansas City, Phil and Pam met almost 30 years ago in a music store after a performance. Just a few weeks later, they had their first date after Pam had been stood up by one of Phil’s friends. With music being such an important part of their lives, it was no surprise that while down on one knee, Phil sang “Will you marry me?” The two were married and had two children, Kayla in 1995 and Alisha in 1998.

Having attended church growing up, the couples own ministry started to take root in 1996 with their first recording

project “Faith, Hope & Love.”

The family began traveling to spread God’s message and in 1997 started a larger concert schedule, along with a weekly radio program. Two recordings were released “Gospel Favorites Live and “Merry Christmas.”

In 1999, Phil recorded his first record in Nashville “What Matters Most,” which was a collection of songs focused on what God wants our priorities to be. Starting in 2000, the family made the ministry their full-time job. After the release of their latest album, the group was booked solid for concerts every weekend.

The family took a 15 month break from touring after Pam was involved in an accident that

almost took her life and left her disabled. She has since recovered to a great degree and both her and Phil have used the experience in their ministry. “Living Proof ” was the next album released exactly one year after Pam’s accident with a tour to follow.

In the following years, the group released eight albums, two videos and three books. They continued to tour across the United States and have added conferences to their busy schedule to help reach more people with their message of God’s hope, love and faithfulness.

The art, which illuminates the pages and poems, gives a unique view of places near, like Mariposa or farm land near the drive-in, and far, like the Church of the Nativity or Golan Heights located between Israel and Syria.

Marcos Gonzales was approved for hire as a deputy in the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office at the Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday. Gonzales is fluent in Spanish and will be the first bilingual deputy on the force.

“That will be a big advantage,” board member Joe Brock said.

Currently completing training, Gonzales’ start date is Dec. 15 at a $23.83 per hour pay rate. The hire came in part because of the requirement for a deputy to be stationed at the Jasper County Courthouse on a full time basis.

After the conclusion of the meeting, the board approved the renewal of the LynnvilleSully Physical Plant and

Equipment Levy which was approved by voters during a special election on Dec. 2. A total of 113 votes were cast with 101 in favor and 12 opposed.

The levy, which is renewed in 10 year cycles, takes 67 cent per $1,000 of assessed value of taxable property within the school district. The new cycle will begin July 1, 2015 and last until June 30, 2025. The LynnvilleSully Community School District encompasses Jasper, Poweshiek and Mahaska counties.

The city is also hoping to get new tables and chairs for the gallery seating area in the chambers, Knabel said. Original with the building, the chairs are showing age, while three of the seven original tables’ legs have broken, leaving only four in usable condition.

To Knabel’s knowledge, this is the first time any work as been done in the building since it was opened. The work is being done by Pella-based AJH Construction. Knabel said a bid was put out for the work in August and AJH was the only contractor who submitted an offer.

Take my money — just don’t take all of it

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2014

As the holiday shopping season rolls along, many of us are thinking more about how much we’re going to spend or not spend on gifts and other purchases. We’re not usually thinking about how to pay for each purchase.

Unless we know certain stores or circumstances require cash, most of us will hand over our debit/credit cards to cashiers, not usually thinking about where our card information or our PINs are going once we type them into a machine.

A series of high-profile security breeches have occurred over the past couple of years. These have caused me to really look at where my personal information goes — and to examine how much I can do to keep that data a little more secure.

According to Credit Union Times, Target, PF Chang, Michaels, JP Morgan Chase, Jimmy Johns, Home Depot and Goodwill Industries are on the list of companies who have been hacked for personal customer

information within the past year.

These are just some of the major ones to be announced, so there might be more that have been kept under wraps — and more that might be conveniently announced at a time when it helps and/or hurts certain companies. What does all this make me want to do? I’m not sure, exactly. It wouldn’t be very practical to live solely off of cash, and maybe store it in a mattress — although that could be a partial solution.

Most of us need a credit card to book a car or hotel at least once in a while, but we all know we use cards out of convenience at plenty of places that would gladly accept cash.

It would be tough to not leave some sort of digital footprint somewhere. I’m not sure if even the mattress approach would do much good, since the government requires everyone to have a state-issued ID card, and most of us are taxpayers in the officially-listed sense.

With this in mind, it makes it tough to want to stay “a little off the grid,” because it feels like if your data is out there once, what’s the use in trying to protect it?

This might be similar to the voice that tells us that if we’ve eaten one thing that’s not on our diet, we might as well splurge completely — once we swipe our cards at a single gas station, there’s no reason to hold back at a department store or on an impulse buy like a limited-edition Guns & Roses shirt.

Some of my friends and family have invested in a type of identity-theft protection service, that notifies customers when their information is used, or there’s an attempt to access it.

This has sounded somewhat promising and helpful at times, as it would be great to not only prevent damage, but maybe also catch someone in the act and get them in trouble. However, being notified after the fact ultimately doesn’t sound as useful as trying to not be so visible in

the first place.

The traveler’s check concept never seemed to take off — especially once most places started to take debit cards. The purpose of the cards was so none of us would have to carry checks (or anything else) while traveling.

There have got to be more ways around having all of our numerics tracked by banks and merchants, coughing up our digits into cyberspace every time we buy a Whitesnake song on iTunes.

Maybe there will be a way to show numbers or a bank logo to merchants, at least during inperson transactions, without either scanning or increasing the potential for counterfeiting.

Even if I can convince myself to be the small-business shopper/big-box avoider, I always knew I could become, I still want the same security every other consumer craves.

Letters to the Editor

Dakota Access Pipeline would provide opportunities

everyone to recognize the importance of the opportunity Dakota Access Pipeline construction would provide for our communities. Instead of using public funding — our tax dollars — the construction and manufacturing of the privately-funded pipeline would invest in our economy and job market without being a drain on our public funds.

The pipeline construction would result in 4,000 new construction and manufacturing jobs and create a demand for $1 billion worth of other goods and services such as food, lodging, equipment and supplies, vehicles and more.

I support the Dakota Access Pipeline and call on others to do the same.

By Katiedid United Langrock States.

I h a v e never won anything before this. OK, that’s not true; let me rephrase.

I have never won anything cool before.

In sixth grade, I won a debate on ancient Egypt, and my teacher gifted me a coupon for 50 cents off a celebratory sundae at Friendly’s. So that was cool — for me, anyway. I don’t know how my parents felt about being forced into paying for the extra $3.50 so I could scarf down the creepy clown-faced custard. Then there was that time I won a scotch sampler when I was underage and thus unable to accept the prize.

And the time I “won” a back massage from the creepy kid in theater class.

But when it’s come to the wins I truly coveted, like, say, a free flight, I’ve always fallen short.

Case in point, the colossal cluster known as my 13th birthday. Sassy magazine had predicted that my last month as a Piscean preteen would be life-altering. According to the adolescent periodical, a field trip with a boy I was crushing on would end in a kiss and an unexpected gift, bringing music to my new relationship. Lucky numbers: 3, 19, 13, 4.

To say there was squealing after reading this horoscope would be an understatement. I immediately ran to a store and bought gum, ensuring I would be pucker-ready.

The stars were aligned!

On my birthday, I headed on a class field trip with Charlie, the boy I had a huge crush on! Just as the horoscope had predicted!

As if those coincidences weren’t proof positive

enough, the lucky numbers sealed the deal. My birthday is 3/19, and I was turning 13. At the time, I didn’t know what the 4 indicated, but now I realize it stood for the number of hours I spent crying when Charlie told me he had a girlfriend.

Attempting to chew away my angst on the bus ride back to school, I ripped open the cottoncandy-flavored Bubble Yum pack and saw four consecutive pictures of a Discman inside the wrapper. Having completely forgotten about the gum’s giveaway, I managed to win the grand prize but lose it because of a ripped wrapper.

No kiss. No relationship. No music.

I stopped believing in horoscopes after that day.

I stopped believing in contests, too. There wasn’t enough cotton candy bubble gum in the world to sustain the constant disappointment of raised hopes and shattered dreams.

But nearly two decades later, there was something about the Skyscanner New Destinations contest that called to me.

I needed it.

Over the past year, I’ve been feeling claustrophobic. On a global level. As if nothing other than a trip to Jupiter (cue Train song here) would provide the wide-open spaces I require to breathe deeply. You know, ignoring that whole lack of oxygen thing. Minor detail.

To win Skyscanner’s awesome giveaway, I had to state in 50 words where I wanted to travel. I wrote about the first place that popped in my mind: Wyoming.

As a child, my Barbies never shacked up in the Malibu dream house.

Each lived on a ranch, in the open wild of Wyoming — spaced far enough apart that they could walk the perimeter of their land (my basement) and never see another living (plastic) soul. By age 6, I was already seeking the solitude of J.D. Salinger.

Add this to the other 3 billion reasons it’s a wonder my parents never had me tested.

Wife’s birthday gag gift turns out to be a turn-on

DEAR ABBY: A few months ago, I turned 50 and my co-workers held a small celebration. When we celebrate birthdays, we all have agreed to regift an item (usually a gag gift).

One of my presents was a black leather miniskirt and matching vest. I never planned on wearing it, but my husband, “Tom,” and I were invited to an ‘80sthemed Halloween party and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a costume, so we decided to go as a rock star and his groupie.

I left work early to get ready for the party. When Tom arrived home, he couldn’t keep his eyes or hands off me.

We never made it to the party and had the best sex we’d had in years. Before that night, our love life had been practically nonexistent.

Abby, please remind readers to always keep intimacy in their relationships. Apparently, Tom and I just needed to be creative and spice things up a little. — HAPPIER IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR HAPPIER: That’s a great suggestion. Now I know why your jacko’-lantern was smiling.

DEAR ABBY: I was married for six years and had three children with my husband. He always said he hated people who cheat on their spouse, but then he had an affair with a married co-worker, a woman who had three kids. We had a huge argument about it. I called her names and he beat me up. I called the police, he was arrested, jailed, and I filed for divorce.

It has been six years and I have moved on, but I’m still angry over their cheating. They got married and invited mutual friends who knew of their affair. All of them attended the wedding.

When I questioned a few of them about why they didn’t tell me he was cheating on me, they said it was “none of their business.” (Oddly enough, those people thought nothing of socializing with the cheaters.)

I’d like to know how many of your readers would tell someone their spouse

was cheating. I know I would, because affairs aren’t innocent fun.

Just to add to the end of my story, my ex and his trophy wife are now divorcing after three years of marriage. The reason?

He caught her cheating! — THE EXMRS. IN ILLINOIS DEAR EX-MRS.: These “friends” may not have told you because they either didn’t want to get involved, or they had already chosen whose side they planned to be on.

I suspect many readers will want to chime in on your question. And I also suspect that, unlike years ago when folks opted to remain silent, the majority will say they feel the spouse has a right to know because they would want to be told.

DEAR ABBY: Please provide advice on hugging a woman without it seeming like I am more interested in experiencing a free feel of her breasts than in just hugging her. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. — HEALTHY AMERICAN MALE DEAR H.A.M.: If you are hugging women you don’t have much of a relationship with, your intention could be misconstrued. If you think your attempt to be warm and friendly might be regarded as making a pass, then you shouldn’t do it, or you may be considered less a “healthy American male” than a creepy lecher.

RATHBUN LAKE — The Honey Creek Resort State Park in southern Iowa has posted an operating profit.

A state audit report issued Wednesday says the resort on Rathbun Lake near Centerville reported nearly $6.1 million in operating revenue for the year ended June 30 and expenses of a little more than $5.9 million. The report says the resort had operating income of nearly $164,000 for the fiscal year. The operating revenue included more than $3.4 million from lodging.

Officials: Man’s death ruled homicide MARSHALLTOWN — Authorities have ruled the death of a man found inside a house in Marshalltown as a homicide.

The state medical examiner’s office says an autopsy was performed Sunday on 32-year-old Adam Paul Garrett, of Tama. The manner of death was certified as a homicide, though additional details were not released. Garret was found dead Saturday night inside a house. The death remains under investigation.

Deer harvest up 19 percent over 2013 Newton Daily News Hunters reported harvesting 19 percent more deer in Iowa during the first three days of first season shotgun deer compared to 2013 when cold weather likely minimized the amount of time hunters spent in the timber.

If the harvest trend continues, the first season shotgun harvest would be around 37,000 deer, which is similar to 2012.

The 2014 first season shotgun deer closes on Dec. 10.

A popular season with hunters is a busy weekend for wildlife officials.

State Conservation Officer Brett Reece patrolled Benton and Tama

counties during opening weekend.

“I probably came across 40 deer hunters in northern Benton County Saturday and counted 11 deer that were harvested. Sunday, I came across 20 deer hunters in Tama County and about that many deer were harvested,” he said.

“People had been telling me that deer numbers were pretty much stable compared to last year, but down from 10 years ago,” Reece said.

In nearby Johnson County, State Conservation Officer Erika Billerbeck said she saw 70 hunters through the weekend.

So far, hunters reported harvesting 18 percent more bucks and 7 percent

more does than 2013, while purchasing 3,000 few licenses. The license sales decline was primarily due to fewer antlerless licenses begin available, which was by design.

Iowa second season shotgun deer opens Dec. 13 and the unseasonably mild temperatures in the weekend forecast could lead to more hunters having success.

“When the weather is nice, we often see more people out hunting and hunter success rates increase because they spend more time in the field to fill their tags,” said Willie Suchy, wildlife research supervisor with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Iowans will use app to show license DES MOINES (AP) — Need to show your driver’s license? In Iowa, there will soon be an app for that.

A smartphone app that’s under development will allow users to show the digital license to law enforcement officers during traffic stops and at security checkpoints at Iowa airports, according to Paul Trombino, director of the state Department of Transportation. The free app will be available

sometime in 2015.

“We are really moving forward on this,” he said to Gov. Terry Branstad during a state agency budget hearing Monday.

“The way things are going, we may be the first in the nation.”

Trombino said users will use a pin number for verification.

“Having this really allows people to protect their identity,” he said, and suggested that the technology could be used for other state li-

censes.

Residents will still be able to use a regular, plastic driver’s license.

But for those who use the digital version, Trombino said it “is basically your license on your phone.”

Iowa is one of more than 30 states that allow drivers to show their proof of insurance via an electronic device.

Trombino said a mobile driver’s license is logical because of people’s reliance on the technology.

Cardinal girls roll over Marshalltown; boys lose close one to Bobcats

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News There’s no place like home.

Newton High’s bowling teams had their first home dual meet Tuesday afternoon. The Cardinals had a strong outing on the alleys at Cardinal Lanes.

The Cardinal girls powered past visiting Marshalltown by 329 pins. They held a 1,635-1,392 advantage following the individual games.

Newton’s girls threw strong Baker games with a total of 741. The Bobcats turned in a 654 in the Baker games.

The Cardinal girls won the dual with a 2,375 pin count. Marshalltown finished at 2,046.

“The girls dominated the match. They remained focused and consistently threw great shots,” said Brett Jacobs, Newton bowling head coach.

Senior Erica Bailey opened the competition with a 212 game and finished with a teamhigh 406 series. Junior

Madison Humphrey had games of 178 and 196 for a 374.

Mariah Gonzales threw a 292 series (169-123).

Freshman Kaytie Hughes posted a 289 (162-127). Senior Melanie Stice had a 273 (135-138) and freshman Alyssa White had a 270 (123-147).

“The boys were down 93 pins going into the Baker games (1,7421,649)” Jacobs said.

“They made up 28 points throughout the Baker games but lost a close one to a tough Marshalltown team by 65 pins.”

Marshalltown won the match, 2,590-2,525.

Seniors Payton Cox and Alex Bare led the Cardinal boys. Cox threw back-to-back 200plus games (214-208) for a team-high 422.

Bare began with a 161 game then tossed a 189 to finish at 350. Junior Shea Carre rolled two even games — 163 and 162 — for a 325.

Freshman Reece Thurman bowled 165 in his second game to end up at 284. Sophomore Reid Miller and fresh-

man Shaiden Simmons each had a 268. Miller had games of 144 and 124 and Simmons rolled a 146 and 122.

“Reid did very well in the Baker games, scoring nine strikes of his 10 shots during those games,” Jacobs said.

In dual action, the Newton girls are 1-0 and the boys are 0-1.

They both were coming off team championships at the season-opening event, the Knoxville Invitational.

Newton’s bowlers are back in action Saturday. The Cardinals head to Pella Christian for a league dual.

They are back at home Monday when Des Moines North comes to the Cardinal Lanes.

NHS boys bounce back against ADM

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Nick Easley has his eye on the basket when he stops at the top of the key during a earlier game this season. The Cardinals won on the road at Adel-DeSotoMinburn Tuesday.

ADEL — Newton High’s Cardinals were locked in a close game with Adel-DeSoto-Minburn’s Tigers Tuesday night. The Cardinals held a 29-26 halftime lead.

Newton roared past the Tigers in the second half, outscoring their hosts 41-30. The Cardinals bounced back from a disappointing home loss Friday night to net a 7056 non-conference win on the road.

The Cardinals and Tigers entered the game with identical records, 1-1. Newton (2-1) hosts Marshalltown in non-

conference play Thursday.

“We started to really play like a team at both ends in the second half,” said Nick Wilkins, NHS head coach.

“We had a great lift defensively off the bench from Drew Stout. He played defense against ADM’s best player to hold him to only 15 points with great help defense from his teammates.”

Tyler Wood, who was held to 14 points — all in the second half Friday against Pella Christian, busted loose against ADM. Wood fired in five 3-pointers and went 4-of4 at the free-throw line on his way to a game-high

25 points. The Cardinals were 11-of-14 at the line for the game.

“Tyler had another good game offensively.

He really did a great job in the second half finding his offense within our team concept,” Wilkins said.

Connor Gholson contributed 13 points, hitting 5-of-6 free throw attempts. Jordan Travis tossed in 12 points.

Wilkins said Travis had a good game in the post and keeps getting better.

“All in all, it was a very good team win for us and a nice big step in the right direction,” Wilkins said.

Cardinals have cool runnings against the Scarlets

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Jeffrey Fitzgerald, Newton senior, hadn’t taken to the water for the 400-meter freestyle since he was a sophomore.

He jumped into the race this week and seemed to be com-

fortable in the long-distance competition.

Tuesday night against Des Moines East, Fitzgerald pushed out strong early and finished strong, winning the race in 5 minutes, 21.98 seconds.

“I swam the 500-yard in

districts as a sophomore in 6:06. Tonight’s converted time from meters to yards is about a 6:06,” Fitzgerald said.

“I swam it Saturday here and I dropped 24 seconds from Saturday.”

Fitzgerald said on Newton’s summer swim team, he had

coaches Sarah Patterson and Chris Forsyth, who also coach the girls’ high school team, tell him go out strong the first 200 “and your body will be able to finish like you started.”

The Cardinals started out strong at home in the dual with Des Moines East and never let up. They won the varsity meet, 114-56.

Three more Newton boys’ records fell in the meter pool.

Senior Jake Lensing set

a new NHS mark in the 100-meter breaststroke.

Lensing pulled away from the field to win in 1:09.92.

The old record was 1:10.03 set by Matheus Pinto in 2012.

“I’ve had it in my sights since last year. I didn’t think I’d get it this early in the season,” Lensing said. “We worked had stroke lanes in practice Monday and I worked hard CARDINALS | 3B

Newton wins Cardinal Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Jeffrey Fitzgerald keeps a strong pace up swimming the 400-meter freestyle race in Tuesday night’s dual swim meet against Des Moines East. Fitzgerald won the long-distance race helping the Cardinals dominate in their home pool, 114-56, at the Newton YMCA.

A scoring snafu was untangled following Saturday’s 2014 Newton High Cardinal Invitational swim meet.

Instead of finishing second, the Cardinals won their own swim invitational for the first time in “a long time,” Newton head coach Dave Hook said.

“The meet was supposed have been scored on a 12-place system and it was

scored on a 10-place system,” Hook said. “We found the error and adjusted the team scores.”

Newton won with 321.5 points followed by Indianola with 313. Decorah placed third at 295 followed

by Grinnell/BGM at 168, Vinton-Shellsburg at 82 and Oskloosa at 71.50.

“The boys were thrilled to know they won the meet,” Hook said. “They worked hard for it and deserve the victory.”

Long ball dooms CMB boys

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALLEMAN — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys’ basketball team made more shots from the floor and from the foul line than North Polk on Tuesday night.

The Raiders also outrebounded the Comets and had a 10-1 advantage in steals.

But because North Polk had a distinct advantage in 3-pointers, the Raiders remained winless on the young season.

North Polk buried 6-of-13 from long range on its home floor and downed CMB 45-42 in Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play.

The Raiders were just 1-of-10 from 3-point range.

CMB (0-4, 0-3) led 14-9 after one quarter but the advantage shrunk to 22-19 at the break.

Bryce Kemp made it 34-31 early in the fourth but Brett Haun, who finished with a teamhigh 16 points, tied the game with a 3-pointer.

North Polk (1-2, 1-2) led by as many as four in the fourth, but it wasn’t until Anthony Capaldo connected on an eightfooter with 52 seconds to play that the Comets went ahead for good.

CMB did not score in the final 2:22 and Kemp’s attempt at a tying 3-pointer in the final seconds was off target.

Kemp finished with 21 points and nine rebounds.

Tommy Galloway scored eight and Hunter Gunderson chipped in six points and six boards.

CMB returns home Friday to face Prairie City-Monroe (2-2, 2-1) at 7:30 p.m. in Baxter.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The Prairie City-Monroe girls’ basketball team took 95 3-pointers in its first five games this season.

That averages out to about 20 per game and is way too many, according to PCM coach Bret Grier.

Moving forward, Grier would like to see that number decrease and the Mustangs took a step in the right direction Tuesday.

PCM did not attempt a shot from long range against Colfax-Mingo and made 55 percent of the shots it did take during a 61-22 victory here.

The Mustangs also were as balanced offensively as they have been all season as four players finished in doublefigures.

“One of our goals was to focus on getting high percentage shots. We didn’t take a single 3-pointer and that was kind of the goal,” Grier said. “We have been taking a lot of threes.

And we need to take higher percentage shots if we want to beat the other top teams in the conference.”

The Mustangs jumped out to a 28-6 lead, ending the first quarter on a 13-0 run.

The continuous clock did not come into play until late; there were 50 seconds left in the game though.

Grier was able to dig deep into his bench for much of the fourth quarter. And the Mustangs still outscored the Tigerhawks 26-10 in the final two periods.

Senior Rachel Freland led the way with 12 points, but sophomore Kayla Jennings had her best game of the season, scoring 11 points and dishing out a season-high seven assists while collecting six steals.

Senior Courtney VanHouweling also scored 11 points,

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Katie VandeWall scores two points inside the lane in front of Colfax-Mingo senior Ivy Moore on Tuesday in Colfax. VandeWall had her best game of the season, finishing with a season-high 11 points in the Mustangs’ easy win. Moore had a seasonhigh 10 rebounds for the Tigerhawks.

while sophomore Katie VandeWall chipped a season-high 11 along with three rebounds, three assists and three steals.

“We wanted to be more balanced tonight, too,” Grier said. “Out of the 26 made field goals, we had 16 assists. So we passed it well, looked for open teammates and made good cuts.”

The Tigerhawks (0-5, 0-4) played without one of its best players as senior Sara Lahart was ill and out of the lineup.

Sophomore Alivia Haley matched a season-high though with 11 points, while senior Ivy Moore pulled down a season-high 10 rebounds.

And other than a first quarter that went decisively in

PCM’s favor, Colfax-Mingo coach Michelle Grant was pleased with her team’s overall play.

“After the first quarter, we were able to make a few adjustments,” Grant said. “Once we start making those adjustments and seeing what they are doing, we start to figure it out.

“We are still learning, but we need to make the adjustments a little faster.”

The Mustangs were without senior Rachel Gulling for the second straight game. She is expected to return Friday when her team heads to Baxter to face Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter.

Gulling’s absence did not

prevent PCM from moving to 4-0 in Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play. The Mustangs are now 4-2 overall.

“We play CMB on Friday.

We need to stick with what we did tonight, take care of the basketball and play defense.”

Grier said. “The defense got away from us a little bit against Pella Christian. But some of that comes back to not being patient on offense. We were much more patient tonight.”

PCM got a season-best eight points from sophomore Jayci Vos, who started in Gulling’s place. The Mustangs were 26-of-47 from the floor and 9-of-12 from the line.

Freshman McKeely Tjaden tossed in four points and made five steals for Colfax-Mingo but the Tigerhawks remained winless after making just 9-of30 from the floor and 4-of-12 from the line.

“We are right there. We just need to keep improving on the little things. If we play like we did tonight against some of the lesser teams, we’ll have a chance to win at the end,” Grant said.

The Mustangs and Raiders will begin a girl-boy doubleheader in Baxter at 6 p.m. Friday.

Colfax-Mingo heads to Story City to face RolandStory in the first game of a doubleheader at 6 p.m. Friday.

Mustangs get back on track with convincing victory

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Either Colfax-Mingo or Prairie CityMonroe was going to end a two-game losing streak Tuesday.

The Mustangs began the new season with a win over South Hamilton but dropped two in a row after that.

The Tigerhawks were 0-2 on the year and came into the game on a 26-game losing skid dating back to February 2013.

In a series that has been dominated by PCM over the past several years, the Mustangs took control of the Tigerhawks with a big second quarter and then scored the first 16 points of the third to win going away, 76-35.

Junior Logan Gilman led a trio of Mustangs in doublefigures with 18 and PCM was able to break open a game that was close after one quarter with a 17-7 advantage in the second and then outscored the Tigerhawks 24-6 in the third.

The 35-point continuous clock was triggered early in the fourth as the Mustangs also got 12 points from Luke Pendroy, 11 from Trey Lindsay and nine apiece from Ricky Reeve and Tyler Townsend. Gilman also had seven rebounds, while Pendroy pulled down six.

“It was a snowball effect.

Once it got started, it went pretty quick,” PCM coach Fred Lorensen said. “We hadn’t been playing very well lately so we needed this one.”

For Colfax-Mingo, coach John Borts felt good about being down only five after the first quarter, but thought his team failed to play to its potential against a Mustang squad that has had the Tigerhawks’ number over the past five-plus years.

“I didn’t feel like we were very sharp on either end of the floor,” Borts said. “We’ve

got a lot of mistakes to correct, some decision making things and things that happen on the move that we have to be better prepared for.”

The Mustangs used a 12-0 run that started at the end of the first and continued into the second to grab a decisive advantage. A 16-0 run to begin the third put an end to any hope Colfax-Mingo had of a possible rally.

PCM got out in transition in the second and third quarters and set up easy buckets with precision passing off the fastbreak and through its offensive sets.

“We had some really good passes,” Lorensen said. “We had passes in transition and just out of our offense, too, so it was a well played game on our part.

Jacob Lietz scored six of his team-high eight points in the third for the Tigerhawks (0-3, 0-3). Colfax-Mingo’s struggles offensively continued though as the team made just 10 shots from the floor and 10-of-18 from the line.

“There were times where we did have opportunities, but we didn’t convert and that’s been the story in the first three games now,” Borts said. “Our

shooting percentages are not what they need to be to be successful. But tonight we let it impact other parts of the game, too.”

Gilman’s bucket inside the lane a few minutes into the fourth quarter made it 59-24 and his 3-pointer followed four straight free throws from Pendroy. The reserves took over shortly after that as PCM improved to 2-2 on the season and 2-1 in Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play.

“We needed to play well, but the tough thing now is to keep it going,” Lorensen said.

“We have a tough one Friday night with CMB and hopefully we can play like we did (Tuesday).”

Borts wants a better effort from his squad. He also thinks maybe it’s time to look in the mirror and figure out what needs to be done to end the 27-game losing streak.

“We didn’t play as well as we are capable of in any area, quite honestly,” Borts said. I think the kids are noticeably frustrated about it. Everyone has to look at themselves in the mirror, including the coaches, and say what part of this do I own and what do I need to do to make it better.”

Friday. The Tigerhawks travel to Roland-Story on Friday.

Lynnville-Sully boys hold off BGM; girls thump the Bears

Continued from Page 1B on my breaststroke. I was hoping I’d get close to the record tonight.”

Lensing said he really was feeling a bit tired in the breaststroke race after swimming the 100 freestyle event.

“I just asked God to pull me through and he did,” Lensing said.

Isaak Webb, a junior, broke two more individual records. He said he was so close to the 200-meter individual medley time in Saturday’s home invitational that he knew it would come for him.

It did Tuesday night.

He was chasing a 32-yearold record of 2:17.20 set by Jeff Schnoebelen in 1982. Webb posted a 2:17.90 Saturday in winning the 200 IM. “I was super close to it on Saturday so I really wanted to get that one tonight,” Webb said of his dominating swim in the event against the Scarlets. Webb won the race in 2:16.44 with East’s Kegan Dolphin in a distant second at 2:51.78.

Later in the meet, Webb took down another school record in the 100-meter backstroke.

Austin Bunker set the mark of 1:03.43 in 2013.

Webb claimed first place in the race against East, swimming it in 1:02.85.

“The 100 backstroke was just ‘hey, see if I can go do it,’” Webb said.

with Lucas Warner and Reese Rosenquist to win in 2:01.62 while Brock Southern, Paul Maharry, Christian Laube and Zach Theis came in at 2:20.99.

Aaron King, Rosenquist and Theis finished second, third and fourth, respectively, in the 200 freestyle in 2:16.28, 2:34.49 and 2:37.60.

Maharry placed third in the 200 individual medley in 3:01.18 and Jacob Knoll was fourth in 3:01.79.

Warner won the 50 freestyle in 26.33 seconds with Fitzgerald in third at 27.84 and Clay Trotter taking fifth in 31.17. Lensing beat out Warner in winning the 100 freestyle in 57.40 seconds to Warner’s 1:00.03. Southern was fourth in 1:11.14.

King snared another individual win in the 100 butterfly in 1:10.65.

Rosenquist placed second in 1:17.74 and Logan Heisdorffer was fourth in 1:35.74. Laube

finished third in 400 freestyle in 5:41.13 and Karl Recknagel was fifth in 6:40.23.

In the 100 backstroke, Heisdorffer was fourth in 1:28.85 and Grant Hamand placed sixth in 1:58.23. Maharry finished third in the 100 breaststroke in 1:25.24 and Theis took fifth in 1:29.30.

Newton’s Webb, King, Maharry and Warner combined to win the 200 freestyle relay in 1:47.41. The foursome of Theis, Heisdorffer, Chet Adams and Knoll took third in 2:08.25.

In the final event of the night, Webb, King, Fitzgerald and Lensing flew in the water to a large-margin victory in the 400 freestyle relay.

They won in 4:11.27 and Newton’s Laube, Recknagel, Heisdorffer and Rosenquist was second in 4:49.92.

“It was a great meet for us. East has a lot of good swimmers and I knew it was going to

be a challenge for our guys,” said Dave Hook, Newton head coach.

“Our guys really stepped up and took it to them.”

Hook said the whole team performed well.

He said the younger and less experienced swimmers are stepping up and helping the team develop depth.

In junior varsity action, Southern won the 50 freestyle in 30.48 and Recknagel was second in 33.41. Adams was second in the 200 freestyle in 3:30.42 and Hamand took third in the 100 freestyle.

Adams, Recknagel, Knoll and Hamand turned in a first-place time of 2:44.19 in the 200 medley relay. In the 400 freestyle relay, Knoll, Adams, Hamand and Southern took first.

Venus suggests, as she glides into cool Capricorn, that we get practical about love. As hard as we strive for total satisfaction in relationships, people are emotionally messy, communication is rarely smooth, and hassles come with the territory. The cost of enjoying the advantages of relationships is having to muddle through the disadvantages.

to a fancy party — and it’s always the same: You feel comfortable and have fun.

heart will help you see the beauty and benefit in commonly overlooked places.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Trust is the basis for all of the important interactions. Sales, friendship, romance, exchanges of service and more will go smoothly only after trust has been established.

If it can’t be established, don’t go forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s something you need to forgive before you can move on. It probably won’t be readily apparent, but you’re in a thoughtful, soul-searching mood, and you’ll strike upon the answer before you fall asleep tonight.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 10). You are a deep person who sees the depth in others. This year you’ll attract kindred souls, work on projects with like minds and forge meaningful relationships with people who truly “get” you. The sense of belonging will provide comfort and tranquility while inspiring you to confidently show up as who you really are. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 33, 50 and 13.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a talent for uncovering people’s real motivation. Actually, all you do is find a friendly, appropriate way to ask, but you’d be surprised how many people forget to do this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a feeling and an intention behind everything, and you’re so in touch with it these days.

It’s not the facts but the spirit in which they are revealed that seems to matter most now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll present ideas and solutions — the best ones will not be free! Let others know the whole price up front, and anticipate the objections that could arise.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It takes a big person to observe others without feeling the need to judge them. Non-judgment allows for deeper insight and an even-minded, more effective way of dealing with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your favorite people are those you can go anywhere with — to the gas station or the dump or

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Goodness will come in strange packaging. Your creative mind and curious

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Frugality can be exciting, as it engages your creativi-

ty. The challenge of getting the most out of the least will be most satisfying, and later you may even brag about it to envious friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You know right away what you’re interested in and what you’re not interested in. Those who try to hard sell you are wasting their time. You’ll find a polite way to cut short such efforts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your perfectionist instincts will lead you astray or make you late. Instead of thinking too deeply into things, keep it simple.

Show up on time, and get to the bottom of what needs to happen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Wishes, spells, curses — these are the instruments of fairytales written off by many as poppycock.

You, however, see the value in entertaining such fantasy, if only for metaphoric relevance.
