Younger workforce is growing in Newton

@newtondnews

Newton, other local school districts approved for TLC funding Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Although the core of Newton’s population is aging, through a trend analysis the city has found the fastest growing demographic in Newton’s workforce are those ages 19-34. Newton Hy-Vee is one example of a workforce that employs and serves those in the 1934 age range but also those younger and older in the community. The city is working toward bringing that demographic here to live as well as work.

Fastest growing demographic are those 19-34

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Editor’s Note: This is part one of a two-part story. An analysis of housing and growth within the City of Newton will publish Tuesday.

The No. 1 goal of the 2014 Comprehensive Plan put in place by the Newton City Council and city staff is to grow Newton’s population, specifically targeting young families.

Through an in-depth analysis of the currently status of the city, management analyst Natalie Umsted says the city is fulfilling this goal.

According to a population analysis from 2008 to 2014, the city had a slight decline from 2008 until about 2012. That brought on a warning trend as the number if citizens decreased about 300 in number, from

approximately 15,400 to a low point of 15,100.

Following the warning trend, the city appeared to stabilize and has seen a slight increase in the population, estimated between 2012 and 2014.

“Although a decline in population may appear to relieve expenditures, a local government face with population decline is rarely able to make reductions in expenditures that are proportional to the population loss,” Umsted said in her report. “This is because many costs, such as debt service, pensions and government mandates are fixed and cannot be reduced in the short run.”

A specific portion of the goal set out by the city is to target young families to move to the community. In data compiled from 1990 to 2010, the city has actually shown growth in the number of individuals 45 to 65 years

of age and a decline in residents aged 20 to 40 years.

The city compared Newton to three similar sized, neighboring communities to find if the trend is region-wide or local to this area. With numbers from Indianola, Marshalltown and Pella, the numbers showed those communities saw a growing population of youth 19 and under and both Indianola and Pella had positive percentages in the 20 to 44 category as well.

All four communities has a substantial increase in those aged 45 to 64 ranging from 12.97 percent to 21.56 percent. Only Indianola and Marshalltown had increase numbers for those aged 65 and up, while Newton saw a decrease of 1.64 percent and Pella came in at 7.25 percent less.

As anticipated, the Newton Community School District was among the 97 schools accepted for 2016-17 into the Iowa Department of Education’s Teacher Leadership and Compensation System.

The newly accepted districts will implement their teacher leadership plans in the 2016-17 school year. A Newton Schools committee worked on the grant for about a year and a half, modifying the proposal to account for the four K-4 and one grades 5-6 schools that a part of the district’s 2016-17 reconfiguration plan.

The 97 new districts bringing the total number of districts in the teacher leadership system to 295, or 88 percent of all Iowa districts.

The centerpiece of Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds’ landmark education reform package was passed by the legislature in 2013. It is funded as part of the education funding cycles.

The legislature only approved fiscal year 2016 funding during last year’s session, so the TLC grant funding for fiscal year 2017 must still be submitted to the governor for approval.

Colfax-Mingo, Prairie City-Monroe and Lynnville-Sully are also among the new TLC districts.

Fiber optic mishap leaves some government offices without services

Damage to a fiber-optic cable Friday in Newton caused a few county and state offices to temporarily lose computer access to certain services for several hours.

Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop said he was told a construction crew, working along First Avenue, inadvertently damaged a fiber optic cable somewhere along First Avenue.

This caused the treasurer’s office and a handful of other offices to lose its connection to an online system.

The treasurer’s system is used for motor vehicle and driver’s license business, so those services were not be available most of the day. Bishop said the connection was restored at 2:54 p.m. He had said earlier his plan was to keep the treasurer’s office open until about 3 p.m. before sending all staff home for the day.

Average gas price soon under $2, lowest since recession DALLAS (AP) — Gasoline is close to breaking below a key psychological barrier as drivers enjoy some of the cheapest pump prices since the recession.

The nationwide average price of a gallon of regular Saturday was $2.02, down 58 cents from this time last year, according to auto club AAA. Experts say it could drop below $2 a gallon in the

coming days.

For consumers, this winter is shaping up to be a good one, energy-wise. Forecasters predict warmer weather than normal, and fuel prices are low.

The retail price of heating oil for December through February is expected to average $2.40 a gallon, down 18 percent compared with last year, according to the

Energy Department. The price of natural gas for residential customers is expected to average $8.72 per 1,000 cubic feet, down 9 percent.

On the roads, many drivers across the country are already seeing gasoline prices well below $2 a gallon. According to data compiled by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service, drivers in about half

of the states are already paying less than $2. South Carolina has the lowest average price at $1.79 a gallon. At the high end, Californians are paying $2.65 and Hawaiians are shelling out $2.76.

The relative bargains at the pump might last a while, because global crude oil supplies are high and demand appears to be weakening.

US stocks open lower; Jarden jumps follwing merger deal news NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are edging lower in early trading as the market comes off its biggest weekly decline since the summer.

Oil prices fell again, pulling energy stocks lower.

Chevron fell 1 percent.

In deal news, Jarden gained 3 percent after the company agreed to be acquired by fellow consumer products maker Newell Rubbermaid. Newell sank 7 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 19 points, or 0.1 percent, to 17,246 in the first few minutes of trading.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 was little changed at 2,012. The Nasdaq composite was down a fraction at 4,932.

Don’s Town and Country closing after 40 years

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After more than 40 years in the business, Don Deppe has decided to step into retirement.

Deppe owns and operates Don’s Town and Country, an appliance retail and repair store at 1000 First Ave. E., which has been a staple in Newton since opening in 1976.

“I started by doing television repair out of my basement, with service calls, around 1972, when we moved to Newton,” Deppe said.

A Baxter native, Deppe said he moved to Des Moines for about 10 years before “coming home” and opening his repair business in Newton. He first opened his shop in the former Newton Shopping Mall before moving to his current location and home for almost 40 years.

During his 40 years in business, Deppe has seen many changes, especially in the electronics he sells. From starting with tube televisions, VCRs and tape recorders to today’s tech-

nology of digital TVs and blurays, Deppe has seen it all.

“Electronics have changed drastically. From tube TVs, to transistor to digital. Appliances have changed, not as much but the front load washers have made a big change in the industry,” Deppe said.

Deppe has carried washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, dishwasher and microwaves, which have mostly stayed consistent through the years. The biggest change has been the addition of “box stores” and the willingness of customers to drive to get products instead of staying in town.

“Service has been good, but it is getting more costly to fix things now. It is becoming more of a throw away society, especially with electronics,” Deppe said.

As the years continued on, he decided it was time to enjoy retirement with his wife and head out on a vacation or two, which were previously hard to schedule while owning his own business.

“I felt like it was time. I’ve probably done it enough. It has

been hard to get help and demand for a repairman is not as great as it used to be,” Deppe said.

He does have great memories of working in the industry for more than 40 years, watching it grow and change as technology moved forward.

“My favorite part about the business was meeting the people, talking to people,” Deppe said. “Some of the challenges of fixing the product, the hard ones that you finally figure out what was wrong with it.”

Deppe does not have a firm closing date, but said that he will close when his current stock is sold. The merchandise is already marked down and Deppe foresees running a few clearance sales in the coming weeks.

“I want to thank all of the people in Newton that have bought from me over the years and called for service,” Deppe said.

Crunch time again for health law; Tuesday sign-up deadline WASHINGTON (AP) — Rising premiums and shaken faith among insurers have cast a cloud over sign-up season for President Barack Obama’s health care law, and now it’s crunch time again.

Tuesday is the deadline for millions of uninsured procrastinators to sign up in time for coverage to begin on Jan. 1. As the health insurance expansion enters its third year, their decisions are critical to its economic viability. A surge of younger, healthier customers could hold down premiums in a market that’s struggling to grow.

“Medical costs of enrollees have been higher than expected and total enrollment remains low,” said Caroline Pearson, a vice president at the consulting firm Avalere Health. “If participation is leveling off, then plans may be stuck with a risk pool that is not particularly balanced.”

More than half of the health law’s 23 nonprofit insurance cooperatives have folded, and even some major industry players have recently gone public with doubts.

There have been bumps with the health law, says business owner Rayna Collins of Lincoln, Nebraska, but overall she counts on it. She’s surprised, however, that many people she knows have remained uninsured.

“It’s heartbreaking to think that they could have affordable insurance,” said Collins. “They think it’s like going on welfare.” One friend believed incorrectly that insurers could still turn down customers with pre-existing health conditions, a practice barred under the law.

Collins, a graphic designer, has had to make adjustments. She switched insurers for 2016 because the company she was with left the market. Her premium will be about the same, after subsidies the law provides for private coverage. But her deductible will spike from $500 to $2,600.

Workforce

Calling for entires in the Iowa Federal Junior Duck Stamp

Continued from Page 1A Umsted said the class sizes at the Newton Community School District shows the trend may be changing with class sizes in the elementary school posting larger numbers that those that are in high school and graduating.

Similar to the age of the community, the workforce age can show who is in the community, whether commuting to work or staying in town for their career.

“The fastest growing demographic in Newton’s workforce is workers ages 19-34. This population has grown by more than 600 since 2010 and now accounts for more than 30 percent of Newton’s workforce,” Umsted said.

To address the growing workforce population as well as further the goal of growing Newton’s population and bringing young families to town, the city has started taking aggressive steps toward attracting new business, retail and additional housing. For families with young children, the city has started updating playgrounds, such as Maytag Park and improvements to park facilities.

The city, through stakeholder Newton Development Corporation, is working to bring new businesses to town, recently selling the former Maytag Plant 2 building to Phoenix Investors from Wisconsin, who are working to refurbish the building and get it ready for businesses to occupy.

In 2011, Walter G. Anderson, the folding carton manufacturers, moved to the former Maytag Distribution Center and has since seen one its largest providers, Patriot Converting, move to Newton to serve the company better.

It lost the ability to process electronic payments or look up or enter records. Check payments could be made in person, but only handwritten receipts could be issued.

Researchers examined data from multiple studies involving more than 30,000 people and found that nut consumption appeared to lower the risk of some cancers, especially colorectal, endometrial and pancreatic. Walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, pine nuts and pistachios are good choices because they are lower in saturated fat than other kinds of nuts. Experts say to aim for a handful of unsalted nuts (about 1 oz.) four to five times a week. Eat them in place of and not in addition to other less healthy foods so as not to increase your total calorie intake.

Opinion

Start the Press

Mom’s got it under control

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Dec. 14, 2015

One Mother’s Day I received a card from my son that included a magnet. On the magnet is Wonder Woman, shown in a sprint with a grocery bag in one hand and a cellphone in another. The words “Mom’s got it under control!” are bolded alongside her.

The magnet has a place on a filing cabinet in my office and serves as a subtle reminder that I am not only expected to keep things under control at work, but also at home. As I breezed past the image recently I was somewhat insulted. I didn’t have it under control, and I resented the fact.

It started with getting off my schedule with laundry. I typically start on Saturday with the weekly washing and have everything folded and distributed back to their owners by late Sunday evening. It’s a very sexy way to spend free time. Well, this particular weekend we had a houseful of kids, a Big Ten Championship

game on the line and Selection Sunday soon to follow. Laundry duties did not take priority.

I found myself shoving my first load in early afternoon Sunday and folding the remains late Monday night. I was not a happy camper. Further, it’d been a busy day scrambling to balance work duties, including some significant breaking news, with home duties like semi-annual dental cleanings and fourth-grade homework. My husband, God bless him, made a wonderful dinner. Then he laid on the couch and watched TV. Meanwhile, I discovered I had forgotten my son’s Lunchable.

He had a field trip the following day, one which I was helping to chaperone. As any parent knows, the kid doesn’t want you to make a delicious homemade sandwich with the food you have on hand, he wants you to drive back into town for the Lunchable. At the same time I was on email work duty, waiting for a news release

regarding the earlier breaking news.

En route back home, pizza lunchable in tow, I checked my email while driving (I know, mom. Not cool.) and noticed the release had come in a few minutes earlier. I sped home (yeah, I know, mom.) and raced for my laptop.

I’m kind of psychotic when it comes to breaking news. I want accuracy, I want details and I want it posted two minutes ago. In this particular manic mode I dropped the groceries and headed to my bedroom with my computer, as to avoid my television-watching husband.

As I opened up my laptop I discovered the battery was dead.

I searched for my charger and came up empty handed. Expletives were shared. Finally, my husband realized he had borrowed it and quickly handed it over.

When I finished writing the update, and started the process

of posting it online, my phone sounded. It was an alert. From a Des Moines newspaper app.

About the story I was just posting. That’s when the meltdown occurred.

I shouldn’t be as competitive as I am, but I can’t help it. In this situation, while I had volunteered to pitch in on keeping an eye out, I also decided I needed to provide for my kid. It definitely fell into one of those work/home balance things that is always suggested to women. As much as it ticked me off to be scooped on a story my reporter had dedicated quite a bit of time to, it was evident far more people would be looking to us for the update.

It was after that I finished my laundry and decided to forfeit work emails for snuggling with my kiddo. As far as he knows, I have it under control.

Vital funding needed for Iowa schools Wes Breckenridge Newton Education is fundamental to the growth and development of our children and economy. As a parent and teacher, I recognize the importance of providing a quality education to our youth. We are fortunate to have passionate teachers and administrators throughout Jasper County and the state. Over the past month I met and with school administrators from every school district within Jasper County.

During these discussions I learned about achievements obtained and challenges faced by our administrators and teachers.

Speak out to school board about reconfiguration Doug Smith Newton This past spring, after 1.5 years of gathering data, town hall meetings, hearing from numerous citizens, our school board voted to reconfigure our elementary schools. It wasn’t an unanimous decision, but majority rules.

Two sitting board members that voted against the reconfiguration have not moved on, and have insisted it be brought up for another vote.

This Monday evening, the reconfiguration decision will be revisited. In my conversations with these board members, they say they only hear from the small, vocal minority that is against reconfiguration. They tell me they do not

Public schools are continually being asked to do more with less and our children are losing out. Quality programs are continuously cut due to funding shortages. It didn’t help when Gov. Branstad cut education funding by $56 million, a compromise that was negotiated by all parties. This vital funding would have helped make up for the reduction of State Supplemental Aid of only 1.25 percent.

In addition to funding shortfalls, administrators communicated that forced categorization of funds makes it challenging for schools to have the flexibility to meet the specific needs of their districts. One example is the Teacher Leadership and Compensation System (TLC). The Iowa General Assembly approved $50 million for

the first year for this program, which will aid in attracting promising new teachers, retain effective teachers, promote collaboration and improve student achievement. While these TLC goals are definitely worthy of funding, it comes at a cost: the TLC supplants, not supplements, the funding administrators desperately need for continuation of other important school programs.

Today, public schools are asked to provide expensive services that they were not 30 years ago. Schools have stepped up and are providing outstanding education for those suffering from learning disabilities, mental illness and behavioral issues. I am proud of the job our schools are doing and excited we have such professional and

talented educators. Every child has the right to a quality education and deserves every opportunity to be successful. Our teachers and administrators continue to work diligently even during these challenging times. We cannot continue to reduce funding and maintain the same expectations.

Instead of reducing funds and implementing mandates that force cuts to vital programs, let’s increase school funding and give our teachers and administrators the flexibility to address their specific needs.

As a candidate for the Iowa House, I would enjoy further conversations about this issue. Our children are the future leaders and deserve our full investment. Let’s make them a top priority!

hear from those that feel the decision is good for our schools and community.

If you feel smaller class sizes, having children stay in a building for four to five years at a time, putting Emerson Hough back to use as an elementary school, and having children attend schools in their neighborhood are something that will benefit our children, their education and our community, please take the time to contact the your school board members. Or, you can attend the school board meeting Monday evening at Emerson Hough, 6 p.m. and share your thoughts with them.

Personally, as a classroom teacher, it doesn’t matter what building I am in, who is on my teaching team, or who my principal is. My focus is on the students, and what is best for those stu-

dents. Decisions such as these should never be focused on making me, the teacher, happy; it must be based on what is best for the kids.

Rapists should be accountable for the suffering they cause DEAR ABBY: My rapists are dead now, but I can see from the years since their attack what damage they have caused. I’m having medical complications that have developed over time, pain and suffering from those complications, PTSD and additional stress over pharmacy bills because of it. It has affected the way I feel about men, and I’m afraid it will be this way for the rest of my life.

My attackers caused a great financial burden on me because of the cost of psychological counseling and loss of income due to episodes of related illness and working beneath my potential. Rapists seem to think they’re entitled to take what they want when they want it. I’m thinking perhaps they should be forced to take responsibility for the resulting cost to the person whose life they affected, which brings me to my question: Can women sue their rapists? — ALTERED BODY AND SOUL DEAR ALTERED: In this country, anybody can sue anyone for anything, but not someone who is dead.

However, lawsuits can be emotionally and financially costly, and the question is whether the plaintiff can win.

Some states offer financial assistance to victims of crime, which includes medical and dental expenses, counseling costs, funeral or burial expenses, and lost wages or support.

Because your rapists are deceased, it would be more practical for you to go online and visit www.victimsofcrime.org to explore what kind of compensation may still be available for you. I wish you luck in your pursuit of justice.

DEAR ABBY: I’m an only child; my husband is not. Our parents don’t live nearby, and every year we have great debates over where to go for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Both sets of parents host both holidays at their homes.

My husband feels we should alter-

nate, one year spend Christmas with his parents, the next with mine. I suggested that one year we host Christmas at our home. That way, both sets of parents could be with us, but his mother said no because her other children and grandchildren spend the holidays with them at her house.

Even though I know the fair thing to do would be to alternate, I do not want to leave my parents alone on the holidays because I’m their only child.

They have no one else! But his mother expects us to be there for every holiday and gets upset if we aren’t. I know this situation will only get worse once my husband and I have children.

What should we do? — HOLIDAY TROUBLE IN NEW YORK DEAR HOLIDAY TROUBLE: Because a marriage is supposed to involve the joining together of two families into one, you might suggest to your mother-in-law that she extend an invitation to your parents for the holidays. But if she’s unwilling or your parents are unable to travel, then I agree with your husband that you should alternate the holidays.

After you have children, this should be discussed again, because it is important that they get to know their cousins, and it will be easier to expose them when the family is all together — whether it’s at your home or your in-laws’.

Death of man whose body found called suspicious

3 2 Police arrest man who called

FORT DODGE — Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found on the ground in Fort Dodge, and investigators have labeled the death suspicious.

The body was found lying on the ground on north Eighth Street at about 7:50 a.m. Sunday. The man was pronounced dead at the scene by the Webster County Medical Examiner.

Police say an autopsy has been scheduled.

them after finding drugs

DUBUQUE — A 21-year-old man who called police to report an attempted burglary wound up being arrested himself.

The man called police to his apartment around 10:40 p.m. to report that someone had tried to break in. The officers who responded asked if they could look around for a suspect. While doing that, the officers saw marijuana stems and seeds in plain view and later found two grams of the drug.

Police: Man charged in 2 southern Iowa killings THAYER — A man has been charged in the killings of two people in southern Iowa after police made two separate discoveries of human remains.

Thirty-seven-year-old Jerry Dillinger was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder Saturday after police found a second body near a house in Thayer.

The victim’s identity is unknown. The body has been taken to the state medical examiner for an autopsy.

WATERLOO — Crews have begun mapping the bottom of the Cedar River as part of an effort to develop a $2.6 million whitewater park and kayak course near downtown Waterloo. A few people were out on the river Saturday in a boat equipped with expensive sonar equipment. Waterloo firefighter and whitewater enthusiast Ty Graham said he hopes construction might be getting started by this time next year.

—The Associated Press

Iowa’s governor is out of fashion but never out of office DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad — a graying little man who relies on Midwestern stick-toitiveness rather than personal flair — is about to enter the political record books as the longest serving governor in American history, dating all the way back to colonial times.

On Dec. 14th, the six-term Republican will mark his 7,642nd day of service as governor.

That’s just shy of 21 years in the office. Branstad will move beyond former New York Gov. George Clinton, whose service includes some pre-Constitution time, and is far out in front of any recent or current governor.

The milestone is a tes-

tament to the fact that while political fashions h a v e changed in the last three Branstad decades, this serious son of small town farmers has managed to remain relevant. And it comes at a political moment when the contrast between Branstad and the high-wattage stars of the GOP is on display in Iowa, as hordes of candidates flood the state before the leadoff presidential caucuses.

Unlike many of the 2016 hopefuls touring

Iowa, Branstad is not a culture warrior, a business tycoon or a policy maven.

He’s an old-fashioned retail politician who visits all of Iowa’s 99 counties every year. His schedule is jammed with tours of mom and pop businesses, keynote speeches at trade shows, talks at rural schools and the signing of seemingly endless proclamations on everything from motorcycles to college applications.

“He’s everywhere.

People say he came to our ribbon cutting,” said Bonnie Campbell, a former Democratic attorney general who ran unsuccessfully against Branstad in 1994. “Everybody feels they know him.”

Most other long-serv-

ing governors topped out at four four-year terms, including former South Dakota Gov. Bill Janklow, former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, former Ohio Gov. Jim Rhoads and former North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt. All served more than one stint in the office.

Helping Branstad, 69, go longer is that Iowa is a rare state without a term limits law. Also, he has never sought higher office. He took a break in the private sector after serving four terms from 1983 to 1999, but came back to oust an incumbent Democratic governor in 2010.

“The odds of any-

one passing him in the 21st Century are next to none,” said Eric Ostermeier, a research associate at the University of Minnesota who has compiled a comprehensive list of governors’ length of service.

David Yepsen, a former Des Moines Register political reporter who knew Branstad when both were University of Iowa undergraduates in 1960s, said Branstad had his own

style as a student and as a young state lawmaker.

“He was this right wing kid from northern Iowa,” said Yepsen, now director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, adding, “a lot of elites dismissed him or ridiculed him.”

Branstad said in an interview that while others in the 1960s wanted to tear down the system, “I hoped someday to be part of it.”

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. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. 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, which is now available. 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.

Iowa high court ruling limits warrantless vehicle searches

Submitted Photo The beloved tale “The Wizard of Oz” opens Tuesday at the Des Moines Civic Center, with all the favorite characters from the 1939 movie including The Wizard (Mark A. Harmon), Scarecrow (Morgan Reynolds), Dorothy (Sarah Lasko), Lion (Aaron Fried) and Tin Man (Jay McGill). Photo by Daniel A. Swalec/Courtesy of Des Moines Civic Center

New adaption of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ comes to Des Moines

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News One of America’s most beloved stories will come to life on stage when “The Wizard of Oz” opens on Tuesday at the Des Moines Civic Center.

The upcoming production shares the timeless tale of Dorothy and Toto’s adventure through the strange and wonderful Land of Oz. Written by L. Frank Baum and made popular by the 1939 movie starring Judy Garland, the story shares the adventures of a young Kansas girl swept up by a tornado and taken to a new world where she encounters many strange people and creatures while trying to find a way home.

Just like in the movie, the stage version will include Dorothy’s friends — Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion. Aaron Fried, who has been in numerous touring productions, will be donning the lion costume for the national tour of “The Wizard of Oz.” “It’s really, really amazing,” said

Fried during a phone interview.

“We have all the iconic moments for the movie, but I think people will be surprised by how spectacular it is live.”

To prepare for the iconic role, Fried did his homework on Bert Lahr, the actor who made the Cowardly Lion famous in the movie.

“I read a lot of books on Bert Lahr’s life, studied a lot about Bert and read ‘The Real Wizard of Oz’ to learn what the character was built on,” Fried said.

While Fried said he admires the movie actor’s portrayal and wanted to do the character justice there was no pressure to emulate Lahr’s Cowardly Lion.

“It’s awesome because I was given creative license to create my own character,” he said. “It’s fun to be able to jump in and really create your own characters.”

Fried said he believes the story of Oz has been a favorite for more than a century and resonates with audience members of all ages because it is so relatable, especially the character of the Cowardly Lion.

“Everyone can relate to the lion because at some point in life there has probably been a time where maybe they don’t have the courage they need, or there has been pressure to be something they are not whether at school, work or at home,” he said. “The part really spoke to me.”

Don’t be a coward, see Fried and the rest of the Oz cast on stage at the Civic Center beginning Tuesday. Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Dec. 15-18, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 19, and 1 and 6:30 p.m. Dec. 20.

Tickets for the latest installment of the Willis Broadway series are available starting at $35 each at DesMoinesPerformingArts.org, the Civic Center Ticket office or by calling 800-745-3000.

“I’ve been in and seen a lot of theatre, and this truly is one of the most beautiful sets I’ve ever seen,” Fried said. “The team really did an amazing job creating this different and magical world. People will come expecting to see a huge spectacular show and they will. I think people will really enjoy it.”

DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa Supreme Court ruling could curb the ability of state police agencies to seize cash and property from motorists under state and federal civil forfeiture laws intended to hurt the bottom line of those who traffic in illicit drugs.

The 5-2 decision Friday from the state’s high court will limit the ability of state patrol troopers and deputies to conduct warrantless vehicle searches.

The ruling came in the case of Robert Pardee, who’s fighting to get back $33,100 that a trooper seized after stopping a vehicle in which Pardee was a passenger in 2012 and finding a small amount of marijuana during a search. The trooper based the search partly on his observation that the car had a “lived-in” look that could indicate cross-country drug trafficking.

But Justice Edward Mansfield wrote for the majority that the observation was “unremarkable” and not evidence of criminal activity.

In fact, Pardee was acquitted of a drug charge in the case.

Pardee’s attorney, Nick Sarcone, said the ruling will “dismantle” authorities’ ability to use questionable factors for vehicle searches that come up regularly in cases he handles.

But the Iowa Department of Public Safety downplayed any effects the ruling would have on future seizures.

“It does not ‘dismantle’ anything,” a department statement released by State Patrol Sgt. Nathan Ludwig said. “It modifies the law — as most cases do — and we will continue to do our work based on the guidance provided by the courts.”

Critics of civil asset forfeiture laws say the laws force people to come to court to prove they legally obtained their money or property, switching the burden of proof from prosecutors to the people whose money is seized.

Proponents say the laws play an important part in stopping drug trafficking.

Chief Justice Mark Cady and Justice Bruce Zagar dissented from Friday’s majority ruling, saying the trooper had reasonable suspicion to detain the vehicle for a search.

Cardinal bowlers rack up wins over Panthers

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

Newton High’s bowling teams almost lost their home bowling center when Cardinal Lanes closed in May. New owners reopened the longtime Newton bowling alley by summer’s end.

The Cardinals landed back at Cardinal Lanes and posted home-opener victories Saturday over rivals Knoxville Panthers in a dual meet.

Newton’s girls posted their second dual win in as many meets, beating the Panther girls by 47 pins. The Cardinals were up 1,465-1,419 after the individual games and had a one-pin margin over the Panthers in the Baker Games to win 2,174-2,127.

The Cardinal boys notched their first win of the season, 2,517-2,429. Newton led Knoxville, 1,667-1,565, after the individual games.

“The boys didn’t bowl as good through individual games as they did at the previous meet at Marshalltown, but their Baker score total improved by 138 pins with an 850,” Newton head coach Brett Jacobs said. “The girls bowled really well, even though the scores didn’t reflect it.”

In the first round of individual games, the Cardinal girls and boys worked the home lanes well. They were racking up spares and strikes.

When it wasn’t either one, Newton’s bowlers encouraged each other. There were those you’ll get it next time moments.

Reid Miller and Sam Supino each rolled 200 games in the first round. Miller led the Cardinal boys with a 391 total on games of 214 and 177. Supino threw a 201 then a 179 for a 380 followed by Shaiden Simmons’ 325 (157-158).

Reece Thurmond finished a 302 with games of 139 and 163. Shea Carre had games of 133 and 136 for a 269. Tayler Hernandez put up a 220

The Cardinal boys’ Baker Games scores were 180, 162, 170, 155 and 183.

Madison Humphrey finished with an average of more than 200 to lead the Cardinal girls. She opened with a 214 adding a second game score of 187 for a 401. Kayla Sopher threw a 275 on games of 146 and 129 followed by Mariah Gonzales’ 270 (155-115).

Lizzy Coyle began the day with a 148 and tacked on a 118 to end up a 266. Alyssa White came up with a 135 in her second game after throwing a 118 to finish at 253.

Alicia Miller had a 231 (111120).

“Each one of the girls has been working on their approach and mechanics of the game,” Jacobs said.

Newton’s girls posted Baker Games scores of 149, 126, 152, 122 and 160.

PCM uses long ball to down CMB PCM’s Gilman scores 1,000th point in victory

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys’ basketball coach Scott Brummel has a lot of respect for Prairie City-Monroe’s Logan Gilman.

Brummel considers the Mustang standout one of the best players in the Heart of Iowa Conference.

Gilman’s 27-point effort against the Raiders on Friday night wasn’t totally unexpected.

What was unexpected was how Gilman got his points.

“We were ready for his high post stuff, but what we didn’t recognize was his trail and some of the 3-pointers that he took,” Brummel said. “He did a good job of getting that trail shot on makes and misses, and we didn’t do a good of recognizing him on those. We were so keyed on him in the high post, and I think we played him well there, but it was the 3-pointers that hurt us the most.”

Gilman buried all five of his 3-pointers and only missed four shots all night, and his 27 points and 14 rebounds guided the Mustangs to a 64-50 road win over rival CMB. The offensive outburst put Gilman past 1,000 points for his career. The Grand View University commit currently sits at 1,014 points for his career.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Logan Gilman scored 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the Mustangs’ 64-50 win over Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Friday. Gilman also scored his 1,000th career point in the victory.

“There was some motivation for us to play well, and we did play well,” said Gilman referring to last year when CMB’s road win over PCM forced the Mustangs to share the HOIC title.

“The shots finally started to fall for me and the entire team. We

have a little bit of a chip on our shoulder this year. We have a lot to prove.”

Second-quarter surge sends PCM girls past CMB

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Prairie City-Monroe junior Rachel Stafford has accepted her role on the Mustang girls basketball team. She is usually the first one off the bench, and her energy can provide a boost if PCM is struggling at either end of the floor.

When Stafford checked into Friday’s game against Collins-Maxwell/Baxter for the first time, the Mustangs needed a boost.

It was Stafford’s back-toback buckets inside the lane that provided that boost, and the Mustangs never trailed again during a 43-24 road win in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

Stafford’s consecutive buckets were a part of a 10-0 run putting the visitors up 10-3.

She finished with a career-high 10 points and six rebounds.

The Mustangs (5-2) improved to 4-0 in HOIC action.

“I am kind of use to coming off the bench,” said Stafford, who is still working her way back from an injury suffered during the fall. “I am used to that supporting role. When I go in I just want to do all I can for my team.”

The Mustangs got a season-high 12 points, four rebounds and three steals from junior Jayci Vos and eight points, 15 rebounds and four assists from junior Katie Vande Wall.

It was Vande Wall’s second straight 15-rebound game.

“We knew coming in we had to rebound well. That was one of the biggest things we talked about,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said. “We wanted to limit their second-chance shots, and I thought it was one of our better rebounding games of the year.”

CMB (1-5, 0-5) prides itself on rebounding and playing defense. It just wasn’t a good night for one of those for the Raiders.

“They hurt us on the boards.

We didn’t box out tonight. We

have to do a better job at that,” CMB coach Jamie Zabel said.

“They probably had 15-20 offensive rebounds, and if they scored 20 points off those, that’s the difference in the ball game. We should be scoring more than 24 points. I was happy holding them to 43.”

The Raiders were still in the game after one quarter following back-to-back buckets by senior Carter Larson. Her baskets cut the PCM lead to 11-7 after eight minutes.

Another long drought kept CMB from getting any closer.

The Raiders were outscored 11-2 in the second quarter and trailed 22-9 at the break.

“It always seems to be one quarter that hurts us,” Zabel said. “We have been scoring

Long Ball Continued from Page 1B Bruxvoort added 10 points and six assists to help keep PCM undefeated in HOIC play.

PCM made more than half of the shots it took from the floor, including a 10-for-13 performance from 3-point range.

“We need Logan and Luke to score around 40 combined every night,” PCM coach Fred Lorensen said. “That was good to see, but we also had a good mix of guys helping after that. Mark Bruxvoort hit some big shots tonight, too.

“We need to remember where we come from. Our inside scorers are pretty good, and we need to get them the ball, but it was nice to see some other guys hit some shots, too.”

The supporting cast after Gilman and Greiner will be key to any success the Mustangs have this year. Bruxvoort hit a pair of treys. PCM got 3-pointers from Austin Brown, Andrew Van Ryswyk and Sheldon Speers.

Brown dished out five assists and Speers collected three steals.

“We don’t have a third secure guy, but we can usually count on someone to step up,” Gilman said.

“We just don’t always know who that’s going to be.”

Slow starts have hampered the Mustangs during the early part of the season. That was not the case Friday night.

PCM pulled away from a 13-10 advantage follow-

ing a Brown 3-pointer, Gilman layup and Gilman 3-pointer. Greiner’s jumper late in the frame gave the Mustangs a 2314 lead after one quarter.

“I am not sure what it was, but I hope we do it again,” Lorensen said of the strong first quarter.

“We talked about it in the locker room that it would be nice to get off to a good start. We had kind of struggled in that first quarter so far this year, but it was nice to make some shots early. That makes a difference.”

The Raiders were unable to make a dent in the Mustangs’ lead until just before halftime. Trailing by 15, Brady Kemp drained a trey, Hunter Gunderson made a buck-

et inside while getting fouled, and Will Clapper scored on a putback. All of that cut the deficit to just eight after two quarters.

PCM made sure there was no comeback in CMB’s future in the third quarter. The Mustangs got two quick buckets from Greiner and then Van Ryswyk’s 3-pointer followed another bucket

by Clapper to give PCM a 46-33 lead. The advantage climbed to 16 following another triple by Gilman and a runner in the lane by the senior forward.

The Mustangs won the third quarter 16-8. CMB held an 11-9 advantage in the final frame, but it was too little too late.

more points lately, but we just didn’t make shots tonight. We missed a lot of layups.”

Vande Wall scored five of the 11 PCM points in the second quarter. Stafford and Kayla Jennings each scored three.

Jennings got the 11-0 run started with a layup. She finished with nine points, five rebounds and three assists in the win.

“We are still in the process of learning things offensively,” Lindsay said. “We have to understand when one or two passes and a shot works and when it doesn’t. We have to know when to work the ball for awhile and get a better shot.

We are still learning the tempo in our offense. It puts us in a better position when we work

“Our defense in the first half wasn’t very good.

We can certainly live with allowing 19 points in the second half though,” Lorensen said. “We just tried to do things better (after halftime). They are hard to guard because they are so big and we are so not big. Our guards did a lot better job of dropping down in the double team.

We got some steals when we did that and things were much better defensively in the second half.”

Clapper had 12 points and five rebounds. Gunderson chipped in 12 points and three assists for CMB (0-5, 0-4).

Kemp scored eight points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out six assists in the loss. Brady Stover scored 11 and Hunter McWhirter scored seven and finished with three assists.

Despite the loss, Brummel was happy to see scoring production from several guys. It was made possible because of better passing.

“It makes it tough to key on one of us. We shared the basketball well tonight,” Brummel said.

“That’s why we had three in double figures.”

Vos made her presence felt in the third quarter. Her second 3-pointer of the game came early in the frame and gave the Mustangs a 25-11 lead. Leading by 15 late in the quarter, Vos dialed up another shot from long range, this time as the horn sounded.

“We have all been working on it and working on it and working on it,” Vos said of the offense. “Tonight, we were just able to get into a good flow, and I was able to hit some open shots for us.”

Heather Jessen knocked in a jumper and Sydney Ziesman converted a layup to begin the fourth for CMB. Those two buckets trimmed the Raider deficit to 14, but that’s as close as they got the rest of the way.

Ziesman scored seven of her team-high eight points in the final quarter and had two steals in the loss.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawk boys dropped their second straight game at home Friday night.

BGM took control for good in the second quarter and extended the lead in the second half as the Bears won their second straight, claiming a 67-54 win in South Iowa Cedar League action.

Colin Lourens led the Tigerhawks (3-2 overall and 2-2 in SICL play) with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Jacob Lietz reached double-figures with 13 points and he pulled down four boards. Jarod Nichols scored eight and grabbed 12 rebounds. Sean Borts scored nine points.

BGM (3-3, 2-2) led 17-16 after one quarter and improved that margin to six at the break with a 23-point second quarter. A 1712 advantage in the third helped the Bears win by double-digits.

Short-handed Mustangs finish 0-5 at Centennial dual tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ANKENY — The Prairie City-Monroe wrestling team only brought eight grapplers to the Ankeny Centennial dual tournament Saturday, and that prevented the Mustangs from getting into the win column.

Two promising freshmen though went 5-0 on the day, while two other Mustangs were 3-2.

PCM lost 69-6 to the host Jaguars, 61-17 to Dallas Center-Grimes, 39-33 to Oskaloosa, 59-21 to Dowling Catholic and 48-36 to Ballard, which is receiving votes in Class 2A in the current dual team rankings.

Two of those wins came by forfeit, two more came by fall and another was by decision.

Cummings’ classmate — Lucas Roland — continued to wrestle well for the Mustangs.

He went 5-0 on the day at 138 pounds and is now 10-0 on the season. His day included three wins by decision, a forfeit win and a win by fall against Ballard.

Jarron Trausch and Xavier

Miller both finished 3-2 on the day.

Trausch (82) won his final three matches all by falls in the first period. He lost his first match of the season when Cummings Class 3A No. 6 Alec Helmkamp of Ankeny Centennial pinned him. His other loss came against 3A No. 9 Dallas Miles of Dallas Center-Grimes.

Miller, who came into the weekend ranked Roland No. 10 in 2A at 138 pounds, did not wrestle well against Ankeny Centennial’s Jace Williams in a 7-5 loss.

Double take: ISU women rally past Hawks at Hilton AMES (AP) — Seanna Johnson scored 22 points, including two free throws with 5.4 seconds left, and Iowa State rallied to defeat No. 23 Iowa 69-66 on Friday night.

Ally Disterhoft, who led the Hawkeyes with 26 points, missed a contested 3-pointer over Bridget Carleton at the buzzer.

Iowa (8-2), which lost its 10th straight at Ames, led 33-28 at the half and 54-46 entering the fourth quarter before the ISU (5-3) rallied.

It became a duel between Disterhoft, who had nine points in the fourth quarter, and Johnson, who had 11.

The duo combined to score the last 12 of the game in the final two minutes but Disterhoft missed a free throw with seven seconds left.

The Hawkeyes made 4-of-15 shots in the fourth quarter.

Iowa State connected on 8-of-15.

Johnson also had 10 rebounds and five assists.

Disterhoft had eight rebounds and three assists.

No. 4 Iowa State pulls away late against Arkansas-Pine Bluff AMES (AP) — Jameel McKay scored 18 points with eight rebounds, and No. 4 Iowa State held off Arkansas-Pine Bluff 7864 Sunday for its ninth straight win.

Matt Thomas had 17 points in his first start of the season for the Cyclones (9-0). They rested guard Naz Mitrou-Long, who is still working his way back from offseason surgery to repair both hips.

The Golden Lions (2-8) hung around for about 35 minutes against an Iowa State team three days removed from an emotional 8382 win over rival Iowa.

But Monte Morris’ alley-oop to McKay gave the Cyclones a 70-54 lead with just more than 5 minutes left.

Ghiavonni Robinson scored 15 points for Arkansas-Pine Bluff, which lost its third straight.

This was Iowa State’s second-to-last game against a low-major opponent. Arkansas-Pine Bluff caused more problems for the Cyclones than most thought it could.

Iowa State was sloppy from the outset, turning the ball over seven times in the first 10 minutes.

It didn’t take its first double-digit lead until late in the first half, when a pair of free throws by Abdel Nader put the Cyclones up 3323.

The Golden Lions played at times as well as they have all season, and some defensive lapses kept Iowa State from making the kind of big run that would’ve put them away earlier. The Cyclones also committed 13 turnovers, but the game was never really in doubt.

Morris, whose floater with 9 seconds left beat the Hawkeyes, had 12 points and 11 assists for his third double-double this season.

Tip-Ins Arkansas-Pine Bluff: The Golden Lions have been beaten by at least 14 points in each of their losses. ... Arkansas-Pine Bluff ’s first home game isn’t until Jan. 16 against Southern. ... Arkansas-Pine Bluff hit just two free throws.

Iowa State: Mitrou-Long started the first eight games, averaging 12 points. Thomas started in place of Long. ...

Hawk boys tumble to Braves in double OT

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MONTEZUMA — Playing for the lead in the boys’ South Iowa Cedar League West Division, Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks and Montezuma’s Braves went beyond regulation time Friday night. Fans got their money’s worth.

Both teams were undefeated going into the contest. The Braves pulled out a 60-53 win in double overtime.

Lynnville-Sully is 4-1 overall and 3-1 in SICL West action. Montezuma moves to 4-0 in conference play and 5-0 overall.

“The guys gave a great effort. We came up a little short, but I think we can learn a lot from this game,” Hawk boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “We have some areas we can address in practice to make us a stronger team.”

Lynnville-Sully and Montezuma were all knotted at 14-all after one quarter of play. The Hawks appeared to take control with an 11-3 scoring surge in the second quarter to lead 25-15 at halftime.

The Braves held a 10-8 scoring edge in the third quarter and forged a 45-45 score by the end of regulation.

Each team scored four points in the first overtime period. Montezuma outscored Lynnville-Sully, 11-4, in the second extra period to take the win.

Tyler Van Zante netted five 3-pointers on his way to a team-high 22 points.

Kyle Van Dyke added seven points and 13 rebounds for Lynnville-Sully.

The Hawks shot 38.5 percent, 20of-52, from the field while the Braves went 19-of-51 for 40 percent. Montezuma knocked down 11-of-20 free throw attempts to Lynnville-Sully’s

6-of-11.

Lynnville-Sully had a 35-23 rebounding edge led by Van Dyke.

Jesse Van Wyk had six rebounds.

Van Zante made two steals for the Hawks. Sage Ehresman and John Trettin each handed out three assists.

Turnovers were a factor for the Hawks, who had 21 in the game.

Montezuma had nine turnovers.

Montezuma had three players in double figure scoring led by Brody McKeag with 23 points. McKeag hit four of his team’s 11 3-pointers. Logan Price had 12 points and Dakota Strong scored 10.

This is the first year of divisional play in the SICL after it expanded to 12 teams this year. In the SICL West with Lynnville-Sully and Montezuma are Colfax-Mingo, HLV, BGM and North Mahaska. In the SICL East are Belle Plaine, Keota, Sigourney, Tri-County, Iowa Valley and English Valleys.

UNI Panthers fall in playoff quarterfinal FARGO, N.D. (AP) — An evenly-matched playoff football game between conference foes North Dakota State and Northern Iowa might have been decided in a matter of seconds.

Bison true freshman Bruce Anderson returned the second-half kickoff for a touchdown to spark the four-time defending FCS champions to a 23-13 victory over Northern Iowa in a hard-fought quarterfinal game Saturday before more than 18,000 fans inside a deafening Fargodome.

It was the second straight week that the 18-year-old Anderson took a kickoff all the way. This time Anderson appeared to be corralled at the NDSU 40, but spun out of the tackle and sprinted in on a 97-yard scoring play to turn a three-point halftime deficit into a 14-10 lead.

“We talked at half.

Somebody had to make a play,” NDSU head coach Chris Klieman said. “If you have the ability to make a play, you’ve got to do it. I didn’t know it would be in the first six seconds.”

The Bison never relinquished the lead, thanks in large part to an inspired defense and the work of standout punter Ben LeCompte.

LeCompte pinned the Panthers offense to their goal line twice in the second half, including one that led to a clinching safety when Brian Schaetz tackled Panthers quarterback Aaron

Bailey to make it 23-13 with 2:57 left.

“We fought ‘til the bitter end to try and win that football game,” UNI coach Mark Farley said. “It still came down to that kickoff return.”

The Bison (11-2) advance to next week’s semifinal game against Richmond, which surprised last year’s FCS runner-up Illinois State on Friday. That loss gave the Bison a third playoff game at home, something LeCompte said was a motivating factor for the UNI game.

“We shouldn’t have been thinking about it, but I saw that Illinois State went down last night and I knew we had an opportunity for another game in the Fargodome,” LeCompte said. “I had that in the back of my mind.”

The Panthers (9-5) ran for 277 yards in the regular-season game, the most the Bison have given up this season though they won 31-28, and reeled off a handful of long gains, including Bailey’s 83-yard run for a score. UNI’s longest run Saturday was 15 yards, by Bailey. The Panthers were limited to 120 yards rushing this time and a season-low 221 yards of total offense.

UNI’s highly-touted running combination of Bailey and Tyvis Smith — both of whom have gone over 1,000 yards this season — were held to a combined 91 yards on 34 carries.

“Defensively our biggest key was to not give

up the explosive play,” Klieman said. “That’s something that they were able to get on us on numerous occasions the first time we played them.”

Even so, the Panthers had the upper hand in the first half and outgained the Bison 150-79 in total offense, including a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive on the game’s first possession.

Anderson, a speedster from Ruskin, Florida, quickly changed the tone with his kickoff return.

Running back King Frazier led the Bison offense with 107 yards rushing. He scored on a 4-yard run to finish off a seven-play, 90-yard march midway through the third quarter to make it 21-10.

The Panthers came back on their next possession and drove 69 yards before settling for Michael Schmaedke’s second field goal of the game with 4:17 left.

Farley and the UNI players say they considered the contest to be the FCS championship game.

“I felt these two teams were the two best teams,” said Farley, whose team came in riding a seven game winning streak. The Panthers had average 46 points in their previous five games.

“This is the game you love to play in,” Panthers defensive back Tim Kilfoy said. “We have respect for them.

We know they’re going to be the best team we play all year.”

Two Hawk wrestlers place at Saydel

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SAYDEL — Four Lynnville-Sully wrestlers reached the semifinal match of their respective weight classes at Saturday’s Saydel Invitational. All four lost, dropping into the consolation brackets.

Max Knapp was pinned by Class 2A 10th-ranked Dylan Coffin of Saydel at the end of the first period of their 160-pound semifinal. Knapp moved into the third-place match with a pin of Bondurant-Farrar’s Jakob Oleson in the consolation semifinals.

Knapp captured third place by pinning Musa Allison of Des Moines North with 30 seconds remaining in their six-minute match.

Sage Zylstra was in the 145-pound thirdplace match, but lost 4-1 to Ethan Reed of Carlisle. Zylstra was pinned in the championship semifinal by Isaac Scott of Des Moines Lincoln.

He turned around to win by a fall over Bondurant-Farrar’s Deandre Vaughn to move into the third-place match.

At 120, Josh Dunsbergen lost by technical fall, 15-0, to Des Moines East’s Matthew Jordan in the championship semifinal.

He dropped a 7-1 decision in the consolation semifinal to end his day.

Jack Hardin pinned Ashlton Messer of Pella in the second pe-

riod of a quarterfinal match at 182 pounds, and then was pinned

by Roland-Story’s Sam Mathis in the semifinals.

Messer knocked Hardin out with a pin in the consolation semifinals.

Lynnville-Sully was 10th with 43 points in the 12-team tournament. Des Moines Lincoln was the team champion with 146 points.

Cayden Johnson was 2-2 at 152 for the Hawks.

Ty Breeden (126) and Carson Dunsbergen (138) went 1-2. Going 0-2 in the tournament were Kyle Kramer (170, Caleb Barnett (195), Aaron Van Der Krol (220) and Cooper Scandridge (285).

You have been changed for the better by a relationship, and not because it went well.

The disappointing things about that union have inspired you to become remarkable.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll help the ones around you who have yet to develop the moral conscience necessary to keep out of trouble.

Just don’t become so rigid that you miss out on all the fun.

It’s human nature to react to potential pain in three ways: fight, flight or freeze. These responses have kept humans on the planet for thousands of years, so when you feel like hitting, running or going numb it is nothing to be ashamed of. Do note that the position of the sun to Jupiter could have us overreacting, though. Most pain is not fatal.

Cardinals place in Council Bluffs Wrestling Classic

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News COUNCIL BLUFFS — Two days of wrestling against teams from five states provides Newton High’s Cardinals a strong test early in the season.

Newton spent the weekend at the Mid-America Center competing in the 2015 Council Bluffs Wrestling Classic.

Cardinal seniors Duncan Lee and Hunter Versteegh bounced back from losses in round one of the championship round Friday to claim top-10 finishes in their respective weight classes. Lee, who is ranked No. 8 in Class 3A, finished fifth in the 195-pound class. Versteegh placed sixth in the 113-pound division.

Lee dropped his first match of the season to Zac Stork of Atlantic, 8-1, Friday. He returned to the mats Saturday to win four straight matches. Lee (12-1) defeated Cameron Baker of Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson with a major decision, 11-3, in the fifth-place match.

Versteegh moved through pool action with a 2-1 mark Friday. In the first round of championship action at 113, Versteegh challenged top-ranked Brody Teske of Fort Dodge, who won the match 14-7.

Versteegh (8-5) came back to post three victories in consolation bracket matches Saturday. In the fifth-place match, Versteegh lost 4-2 to Cade Devos of Waukee.

Newton scored 150 points to take 26th in the 35-team field. Apple Valley, Minn., piled up 703.5 points to win the team championship. There were 17 Iowa teams in tournament along with 11 from Nebraska, four from Kansas, two from Minnesota and one from Missouri.

Following Friday’s round-robin pool matches, wrestlers were placed in the gold (championship) bracket or silver (consolation) bracket. Newton had three wrestlers in the gold brackets of their weight divisions — Lee, Versteegh and sophomore Ross Hull. The rest of the Cardinals wrestlers were in the silver brackets.

Bryce Tish, Newton’s senior 152-pounder, placed 17th overall, after going 1-2 in round robin pool action. Tish won four straight — three by falls, including pinning Alex Smith of Waukee in 1:56 to take first in the consolation bracket.

Hull made it into the first round of championship action at 120, going 2-1 in pool action. Hull was pinned in 49 seconds by Class 3A third-ranked Jakob Allison of Waukee. Hull lost his first consolation round match, won by medical forfeit and was pinned in 1 minute, 28 seconds by C’Jai Payne of Omaha North, Neb. Hull finished 14th.

Senior Jacob Smith finished 20th overall and fourth in the silver bracket in the 220-pound division. Sophomore Tristin Langmaid placed 10th in the silver bracket which was 21st overall at 160. Caleb Kite, a junior, placed 23rd overall at 285, which was seventh in the silver bracket.

Senior Harley Walker was eighth in the silver bracket and 24th overall at 170. Senior Parker Schuster placed 13th in the silver bracket was 27th overall at 138. Juniors Aren Sorensen and Jon Lawton placed 26th in their respective weight classes, 126 and 132, which translated to 10th in the silver brackets.

Newton takes on Carlisle and host Pella Tuesday.
