‘All aboard!’ Cardinal Express brings cookies, crafts, movie to children

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Police Department Lieutenant Wes Breckenridge watches as Aubrie Davis loads a doll into a Walmart shopping cart during Saturday’s Shop with a Cop event. The program, which involves the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, allowed 15 area children to take a shopping trip to buy gifts for others.

“Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can’t see.”

That might be the most memorable quote from the movie “Polar Express,” unless you count the conductor’s “All aboard!” Both lines were a part of Saturday’s “Cardinal Express” event in Newton High School’s Center for Performance, where the Polar Express movie and cookie and decoration making were available to dozens of young movie-

goers.

The event was put on by the Newton High School student council and the HERO (Home-Ec Related Occupations). The craftmaking area opened about an hour before the movie illuminated the big screen in performing arts theater.

Children and adults were able to customize their own frosted cookies and make decorations, such as reindeer heads, reindeer food and snowflakes, and there was a tree-ornamentmaking station. Many of EXPRESS | 3A

REG expands into Europe with investment in Petrotec AMES — Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGI) and IC Green Energy Ltd. announced Friday that REG, through a whollyowned subsidiary, will acquire ICG’s majority equity ownership position in German biodiesel producer Petrotec AG (XETRA: PT8). Closing of the transaction is expected before year end.

ICG, Israel Corporation’s vehicle for investing in the alternative energy market,

accepted an offer from REG European Holdings B.V. to purchase ICG’s 69 percent equity ownership in Petrotec AG for US $20.9 million, or US $1.235 per share, to be paid in newly issued REG shares valued at the 30 trading day volume-weighted average for the day prior to signing.

The REG subsidiary will also purchase ICG’s loan to Petrotec AG in the amount of approximately US $15.4

million. In the next several weeks, REG European Holdings B.V. intends to make a cash tender offer for all other Petrotec shares at a price no less than the value per share to be received by ICG. “REG’s investment in Petrotec is a natural extension of our business strategy which should enable us to better capture value from international trade flows and to participate in European

biofuel markets,” said Daniel J. Oh, REG President and CEO. “Petrotec’s people, culture, business model and technology are similar to ours at REG. We look forward to working with the Petrotec team as REG expands its business into Europe and further delivers the key benefits of our international industry: energy security and diversity, environmental stewardship and food security.”

Petrotec’s nameplate pro-

duction capacity is 55.5 million gallons (185,000 MT) per year, produced predominantly from UCO. Petrotec’s collection service, treatment processes, and biorefineries, are certified by both German and European regulators. Its biodiesel is compliant with EU standard EN 14214 and is one of the most sustainable biofuels marketed in Europe.

For more information on Petrotec visit their website at www.petrotec.de.

In Brief

Three local insurances combine to new office

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Members of the Newton Board of Realtors enjoy a Christmas Luncheon at their final meeting.

Newton Board of Realtors holds final meeting

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton Board of Realtors held its final meeting Thursday at the AmericInn in Newton. Members enjoyed a Christmas luncheon, sharing memories and mementos from the past.

Recently, the Iowa Association of Realtors decided to consolidate small boards into regional groups. The Newton board members had the choice to join the Des Moines board or form a board with Poweshiek County, Marshalltown and Benton County boards. A majority of the members will be joining with Des Moines and a few will head east to form the new board.

“If you’re looking at it from the sellers aspect of a house, we have our listings in the Des Moines MLS (Multiple Listing Services) there’s going to be a lot more exposure.

If you’re listing is exposed up there, you’ve got a lot more agents working for you,” said Dan Birkenholz of Birkenholz Realty.

Having larger, regional boards will provide better service, more opportunities for community service projects and

a greater number of Realtors working together. Overall, it is a benefit to the seller, Birkenholz said, having more people working to help them sell their property.

The Newton Board of Realtors was founded in 1960 and received its official charter on Nov. 15, 1960 from the National Association of Real Estate Boards and the Iowa Association of Realtors. Its first meeting was held at the Hotel Maytag with six firms attending including Shepherd Realty, Birkenholz Realty, Harness, Wilson, O’Brien, Hill and Janeway Realty. “(The board formed) as a cooperative effort to promote real estate in Newton,” Birkenholz said.

His father, Henry Birkenholz was a founding member of the board and was in attendance at the first meeting. The first elected board included J.D. Shepherd as president, L.J. Janeway as Vice President, Mrs. Harness serving as both secretary and treasurer and Merle J. O’Brien as director.

Over the years, the board won several awards for their work in the community. For planting more than 2,000 trees in Newton, the group won the

Beautification Award in the 1960s. In a National Public Relations Contest, the board took second place for its remodeling projects.

In 1991 and 1994, the Newton Board was recognized for the highest percentage of attendance at the Iowa Association of Realtors Convention.

The board has twice won the Iowa Association of Realtors’ Fair Housing Award, once in 2003 for a poster calender and again in 2008 for the bird house project.

Additional service projects the group took park in was distributing flags at the Fourth of July parade, donating the “Welcome to Newton” sculpture that is near Interstate 80 and annual contributions to the Jasper County Courthouse Lighting, Dollars for Scholars, the Newton and Baxter school districts and the Salvation Army.

Two Newton board members went on to serve as president of the Iowa Association of Realtors. Gail Flagel served 1999 and Jo Jenkins held the office in 2006.

Santa’s helpers remind Iowa children to send their Santa letters early Newton Daily News

Submitted Photo This photo, taken after showing of the movie “Polar Express” on Saturday at Newton High School, shows the group that received bells as they left the Center for Performance. Dressed in full Christmas elf costumes were Jake Bennet, back left, and Hannah Rhoads, back right.

Continued from Page 1A the older children at the movie had seen it at least once before, including Jessie Hutchinson.

“My favorite part is when the boy gets the sleigh bell,” Hutchinson said. “That’s the gift he really, really wanted.”

Rink Continued from Page 1A

Mills said the Princess and Papa dance, which has been held in January the past few years, has grown into a large event, and consistency with new events can help things take off.

“We were hoping to have a few more kids come out,” Mils said.

“But it will grow, if we keep doing this.”

A visit from Santa Claus, as well as lunch and fruit and candy, were available there, she said. One purpose of the program, Damman said, is to help establish trust at an early age between children and community law enforcement.

Another aim is to see the trip as a chance to think of others during the holidays, rather

than simply accepting charity aimed solely at them.

Damman said there were about 12 or 13 uniformed law enforcement at Saturday’s event, so a handful of children were “doubled up” with one officer or deputy.

around $500 for the rink and an additional pledge has been made to bring the group closer to purchase. The group will continue its fundraising efforts to help buy ice skates for citizens to use costing between $1,000 and $2,000.

“We feel that because we don’t have an ice skating rink currently, many people probably do not have ice skates to utilize,” Unsworth said.

It will be open for citizens use following the park schedule, with no employee monitoring the area. The rink has potential uses such as broom ball games along with other winter activities.

“If all goes right, we will have the rink potentially up and running before the end of winter,” Unsworth said.

The Sunset Park location is attractive because of its proximity to the large sledding hills. Coupling the two would provide an activity filled area for all ages.

If it were to be placed at Westwood, use of the club house for weather relief along with the functioning restrooms would be a plus. Because it is temporary, it can be moved each year, utilizing several locations, Unsworth said.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Reduce Stroke Risk

According to a new analysis of 20 separate studies involving 760,000 people, those who consumed the most produce had a 20% lower risk of stroke compared to those who ate the least. Benefits rose in proportion to the amount of fruits and vegetables eaten.

Stroke risk dropped by 32% for every 7 oz. per day of fruit and 11% for every 7 oz. per day of vegetables. Citrus fruits, leafy vegetables, apples and pears were specifically linked to reduced stroke risk. Researchers say eating more fruits and vegetables may help reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and other risk factors.

The rink, which would be purchased from a Wisconsin company, would be an above ground, temporary rink and would rely on below freezing temperatures to freeze it. It would be approximately 50 to 60 feet wide and 90 feet long, holding about 40 to 50 people at a time.

The total cost would be between $4,500 and $5,000 with fundraising efforts already underway.

At a recent pancake breakfast, the Friends of Newton Parks raised

all children in the craft area that the train would soon be departing, and she and student council advisor Kelly Tremel introduced the movie to the children in the theater.

DES MOINES — Every year, millions of children write letters to Santa. When Santa can’t respond to all the letters, he sometimes forwards requests to helpers at the U.S. Post Office through its Operation Santa program.

In 2013, just 17 post offices across the country took part in Operation Santa. One of the receiving areas for these letters is the Des Moines, Iowa, Post Office located on Second Avenue.

“This is an important, long standing tradition that we are so proud to carry on,” said Patricia Kuhns Howell, post office volunteer and Santa letter coordinator. “The amount of letters has been decreasing in recent years — just 600 were received last year — and we want children and their parents to know that if they write to Santa, they will receive a response.”

The Postal Service began receiving letters

addressed to Santa Claus more than 100 years ago. In 1912, Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock authorized local postmasters to let employees and citizens respond to these letters. That program later became known as Operation Santa. Today, a dedicated group of Santa’s helpers at the Des Moines Post Office are carrying on the tradition of responding to each child’s letter.

“Many letters we receive peek into the struggles of families just trying to keep their heads above water. Yet, many of those still ask for simple things and for gifts for people other than themselves,” said Kuhns Howell. “We hope people will remember that although there are a lot of ways to connect with Santa, nothing can replace the impact of a personalized, hand written letter.”

Children who want to send a letter to Santa this year should keep these tips in mind: 1. Mail your letter ear-

Start the Press

Good cop, bad cop

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Dec. 15, 2014

Lately I’ve been thinking about my first job in high school.

I was a waitress at a family-run restaurant that was a good blend of personalities, both in management and the almost exclusively teenage staff.

My primary manager, a guy by the name of Jim, was hardcore. With Jim you showed you were using your elbow grease when mopping the floor, windows were left spotless with the aid of Windex and newspaper and there was a certain art of unclogging a toilet. (As a teen I did not realize how much janitorial work was involved in waitressing. As it turns out, there’s a lot.)

While I admired his desire for cleanliness, I didn’t particularly care for Jim. His delivery was poor, he was prone to yelling and oftentimes he was outright mean to the staff. There was scarce a person who enjoyed his company and as a teen simply looking to make a few bucks for gas money, it was rough.

When I look back over my work history, there have been

people I admire and those I don’t. Those who have challenged me in good ways to grow and develop in my career — and those who have made me dread the work day. In my newspaper career there have been those who represented our profession well, and those who didn’t.

Following the recent national wave of criticism of the law enforcement profession, I thought of the dozens of officers I’ve worked with over the years. I bet they’ve also worked with some good cops, and some bad cops.

As a journalist I’ve almost always found law enforcement officers to be helpful. I’ve waded through police reports with them, watched them give testimony in courtrooms, sat on committees with them for community initiatives, called them in the middle of the night for breaking news and watched as they worked crime scenes and fatal car crashes with unmatched professionalism.

I’ve also listened to a great deal of scanner traffic and read

many police reports — enough to know that any day is a roll of the dice. Officers are spit on, sworn at and flipped off. They are challenged to fights and sometimes shot at; they are sometimes killed while doing their jobs.

Often I’ve asked officers how they became interested in the profession, and almost always get the same response — because they wanted to help people. And law enforcement helping people is exactly what I’ve experienced in the small Iowa communities in which I’ve worked.

Here in Newton you can look at officers like Aaron Groves, who has established a group aimed at helping those struggling with substance abuse at his church. Having formed a strong friendship with a former addict, Groves is looking for solutions in our community even when he’s off the clock.

Last week, I received two letters from community members who had completed the citizen’s academy at the Newton Police Department. Both were so

moved by the experience they felt inclined to take pen to paper and let people know how hard our officers work to keep the community safe.

So this broad stroke in which the nation seems to be painting our police officers in such a dim and unfavorable light just doesn’t reflect what I’ve experienced.

What I’ve seen is officers working tirelessly, during routine events and during tragedies. The long hours, heartbreaking cases and dangerous work — that’s almost always under scrutiny — doesn’t deter them.

I know there are bad cops out there, just as I know there are bad restaurant managers, doctors, teachers and journalists. I just have to believe the majority of police officers are like the folks I know — working a challenging job because they want to help people.

Eye on America

Climate catastrophe

Another View

How to honor kids who died at Sandy Hook

By John Stoehr Confronted by a hostile Republican Congress, President Barack Obama has chosen to flex his political muscles on a range of pressing issues.

He increased the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors. He struck a climate deal with China. He’s protected as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation.

To all that, I say hallelujah.

But as he checks items off his to-do list, I hope Obama remembers the 20 children shot to pieces in Newtown, Connecticut two years ago this month.

In the wake of that national nightmare, the president vowed to do everything in his power to prevent another massacre like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary. Yet with around 300 million firearms in circulation in the United States — most of them handguns — odds are that another will happen. Maybe soon.

Now that his party has lost control of the Senate, Obama must act alone to deliver on his promise. This is a fight with congressional Republicans that’s worth picking.

What can he do?

First, forget about Congress.

Even when Republicans were in the minority, lawmakers couldn’t even pass relatively popular guncontrol legislation. Consider that Senate Republicans — with the help of 15 spineless Democrats — defeated a measure to ban assault rifles just weeks after the Sandy Hook tragedy.

Had it passed, the ban wouldn’t have done much good in practice.

It might have mitigated the most devastating mass shootings, but it wouldn’t have stopped the retail death-and-destruction of handguns.

The Senate also shut down a bipartisan bill to expand background checks that nearly two-thirds of Americans supported.

Second, stop talking about guns.

Ours is a gun culture animated by rugged individualism and vigilantism, dramatized by Hollywood and policed by the National Rifle Association. “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” said an NRA spokesman just days following the Sandy Hook tragedy.

Soon after, several state legislatures, mostly in the South and West, passed laws permitting guns in churches, businesses, and schools.

Take a moment to ponder that: Politicians responded to the murder of 20 schoolchildren by clearing the way for more people to wield guns.

That tells you something: Guncontrol arguments in a “gun context” lose before they begin.

Obama needs to change the context. This isn’t about guns, after all.

It’s about public health and human lives cut short for no reason. He can do that by appointing a surgeon general who will make gun sense a priority.

Vivek Murthy is a doctor at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital with degrees from Harvard and Yale. He founded Doctors for America, researched AIDS in Africa, and had hoped, as Obama’s pick for surgeon general last year, to focus

on obesity.

Senate Republicans, however, with assistance from a few Democrats, filibustered Murthy’s nomination. Why? Because Murthy threatens the NRA’s control of the gun debate. He believes that guns are a threat to public health and safety.

He’s right. Over 80 people die every day in gun-related deaths, according to one study. The annual total of gun deaths will likely surpass vehicular deaths sometime next year.

Remember, the NRA believes that gun ownership is inviolate, and the conservative Supreme Court has basically agreed. The debate in Congress is over for now — it was indeed over long before the Sandy Hook massacre — and no political will exists even for a mild piece of legislation, like an assault-weapons ban, that might do a little good.

Yet if we remove the debate from a gun context — if we approach our epidemic of gun violence from the point of view of a doctor serving the health and welfare of all Americans — well, that changes things. Or it could, if Murthy is given a chance.

By the way, those Democrats who helped block Murthy’s nomination? All but one is gone, retired or defeated by Republican challengers. So very little prevents Obama from putting Murthy to work with a recess appointment before the new Congress convenes in January.

He can do it alone, and he won’t have to worry about a few spineless Democrats getting in his way.

People argue about whether the “consensus” of scientists is that we face disaster because of global warming. Instead of debating whether man’s greenhouse gasses will raise t e m peratures, we s h o u l d By John Stossel argue about how we gauge disasters.

If you take most environmentalists and climate scientists at their word, the Earth heated up about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit over the past century, not much more than it heated up the century before that.

Warming may increase, but no one can be certain of that.

Let’s agree for the sake of argument that this recent warming was partly caused by humanity. Let’s also agree that there are some negative effects, including more frequent coastal flooding or longer droughts.

If we agree that those are costs, shouldn’t we also look at the benefits?

Much of modern civilization owes its existence to our use of the fossil fuels that produce the greenhouse gasses.

I don’t see that civilization as misfortune. I wish climate alarmists would weigh its accomplishments against the relatively small downsides of climate change. One of industry’s biggest accomplishments is creating a world where far fewer of us are likely to die because of weather.

Alex Epstein’s book “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels” documents the rapidly shrinking number of human beings killed by storms, floods and other climate events thanks largely to ever-growing industry, fueled mainly by oil, natural gas and coal.

On my show this week, he argues that if we compare conditions a century ago to conditions last year, we shouldn’t obsess about

how much carbon dioxide is in the air — or whether earth is warming — we should look at how much safer life became.

In 2013, “Climaterelated deaths were at a record low — in supposedly the worst climate in history — under 30,000,” says Epstein. In 1931, bad weather killed 3 million people.

You can argue that we get some things wrong as a civilization, but thanks to our use of fossil fuels, we get something very right.

Epstein points out that humanity owes its current ability to survive harsh winters, arid deserts and other naturally dangerous environments to the same fuels that activists now condemn: “We have the luxury of being able to absorb a certain amount of climate-related damage so we can live in all of these cool places.”

His argument is unusual because environmentalists spread the idea that, without human interference, the planet is perfect.

But by what standard?

“If you went to someone 300 years ago and asked them, do you have a perfect climate?” they would think you were crazy, says Epstein. “They were terrified of climate, because climate doesn’t give you the resources that you need. It doesn’t give you water when you need it. It doesn’t give you the temperature when you need it.”

It was once common to say that humans change their environment. That shouldn’t offend people today, says Epstein. We should be thrilled that humans “create technology to master climate. ...

That’s why so few people today die from climate.”

Epstein correctly says that instead of talking about “climate change” — of which there will always be some, with or without human influence — we should focus on “climate catastrophe,” weather that actually kills people. Those catastrophes, measured in lost lives, are getting rarer.

Marriage idea loses its luster after plans were put on hold DEAR ABBY: Recently, our state became one that allows same-sex couples to wed. My partner, “Alex,” and I have been together for 18 years.

We had planned to be married last spring, but a death in the family put our wedding on hold.

When I found out about the ruling, I expected Alex to be excited and suggest we go ahead and marry. To my disappointment, he didn’t seem to care. He hasn’t mentioned marriage once, and when I bring it up, he’s quiet and doesn’t respond.

We’re older, and because of health issues we don’t have an active sex life.

I’m wondering if my relationship with him has been downgraded to “roommate” without me realizing it.

Do I push this? Do I let it alone and settle for what I have now?

I feel like I’m too old to start over, but I have to admit that suddenly feeling like the relationship I thought I had may be an illusion has me very depressed. — LET DOWN IN ARIZONA DEAR LET DOWN: The most important ingredient in any relationship is communication, and you and Alex have been together long enough that you should be able to level with each other. His reluctance to move forward may be something as simple as a case of cold feet. It could also be that he’s had a change of heart and doesn’t want to be married. Not all gay people do.

I don’t think it would be pressuring him to calmly ask if the idea of being married is something that no longer interests him. If this level of commitment is what you want and he can’t give it to you, you deserve to

know.

DEAR ABBY: I have a teenage grandson with an upcoming birthday. For several years we have taken him to a major sporting event for his birthday. I get complimentary tickets for this from work.

Last year he noticed that the tickets were complimentary and acted very disappointed. We had spent more than $50 on refreshments and souvenirs. Should we take him to the game again this year, or opt for something else? — CAN’T WIN FOR LOSING IN WICHITA DEAR CAN’T WIN: Your grandson’s reaction was disappointing. He should have been grateful to have been invited to share the experience.

It would have been best to discuss his reaction at the time it happened.

Before making up your mind about what to do this year, ask him why he acted the way he did. Feel free to tell him it hurt your feelings. If it turns out he was looking a gift horse in the mouth, make plans to do something else for his birthday this year, at your discretion. Shame on him.

3 Organization raises funds for teaching garden

5

NORTH LIBERTY — A charity in eastern Iowa says it has raised enough money to build a community teaching garden. The North Liberty Community Pantry raised nearly $39,000 to receive a matching grant from the Wellmark Foundation. Executive director Tina DuBois says the 9,600-squarefoot garden will be a source of fresh produce for more than 500 families that the pantry serves. She says the organization will provide garden-to-table education programs for the community at the site.

DES MOINES — Fine arts advocates in Iowa are renewing an effort to get music, drama and art included in state education standards.

The Iowa Alliance for Arts Education will lobby lawmakers again next year to amend the Iowa Core to add the fine arts, said Leon Kuehner, the group’s executive director. A similar attempt failed in 2014, but Kuehner and allies hope that they will have more luck this time.

“To me it’s not a Democrat or a Republican issue, it’s a kid issue,” Kuehner said.

State law dictates that schools teach the arts, but the fine arts are not listed in the Iowa Core, which was adopted in 2008 after approval from the Legislature and governor. The Iowa Core sets learning goals in five subject areas: literacy, mathematics, science, social studies and

21st century skills.

Kuehner said including fine arts in the learning standards would encourage more investment from schools, as well as make it easier for arts teachers to get professional development funding. His group plans an aggressive effort with dozens of volunteers talking to lawmakers and a day of fine arts events at the Capitol.

A spokesman for Republican Gov. Terry Branstad said he had proposed including the arts in the state standards several years ago, but the effort failed.

Jimmy Centers said in a statement that Branstad would need to see any new legislation in the final form but remains generally supportive of the concept.

But the issue may face roadblocks in the Legislature, where Democrats control the Senate and Republicans hold a majority in the House.

Sen. Brian Schoenjohn, a Democrat from Arlington who serves as vice-chair of the Senate education committee, said he supported amending the standards but questioned if a bill would get support of the full Legislature.

“I think a fine arts education is part of a well-rounded education,” said Schoenjohn.

“I think there is support in the Senate. I don’t know about the House.”

The Iowa Core incorporates the Common Core reading and math standards developed by the National Governors Association and state education superintendents, which have drawn criticism from conservative lawmakers in many states, who say the federal government is overreaching into classrooms. That concern is held by some Republicans in the Iowa House.

Beck says firefighter Matt Tranel and Councilman Corey Simonson live nearby and went into the house before firefighters arrived.

the House education committee, said he supports arts education but thought any change to the Iowa Core should be handled by the State Board of Education.

Another Republican, Rep. Walt Rogers, of Cedar Falls, said he would be hesitant to add any new requirements to the Iowa Core.

“I think mostly it should be a local control issue,” Rogers said, adding that he favored arts teaching.

Department of Education Director Brad Buck said making changes through the board doesn’t have the same authority as a legislative move. Buck said the department was neutral on this issue earlier this year but is supportive of adding arts to the standards.

“Just like the traditional classes have a place in the Core, we think the fine arts have a place in the Core,” he said.

Waterloo may buy idle Hostess factory downtown WATERLOO (AP) — The city of Waterloo is considering buying the idle former Hostess plant downtown to encourage development.

The City Council will vote Monday on a plan to spend $400,000 on the building that used to serve as a Wonder Bread bakery and up to $15,000 on closing costs.

The Waterloo bakery has been closed since November 2012 when Hostess Brands filed for bankruptcy protection. Dozens of workers lost their jobs when the bakery closed.

Flowers Foods Inc. bought the Wonder bread brand from the now-defunct Hostess Brands, but it didn’t revive all of Hostess’ old bakeries, including the Waterloo one.

Flowers Foods paid $442,460 when it acquired the building in the Hostess liquidation.

City planning director Noel Anderson said the purchase offer is less than the building’s assessed value to account for demolition costs.

No projects are in the works for the bakery at this point, but the building is near several other downtown revitalization projects the city has already started.

“I don’t believe there’s any plans for it yet,” Anderson said.

But several groups have stated they want the 86-year-old building preserved.

Anderson said the city would like to see the bakery site used for something that’s compatible with the surrounding projects that attract heavy foot traffic.

Cancer patients testing drugs on mouse ‘avatars’ The Associated Press Scientists often test drugs in mice. Now some cancer patients are doing the same — with the hope of curing their own disease.

They are paying a private lab to breed mice that carry bits of their own tumors so treatments can be tried first on the customized rodents. The idea is to see which drugs might work best on a specific person’s specific cancer.

The mice may help patients make what can be very hard choices under difficult circumstances. Studies can suggest a certain chemotherapy may help, but patients wonder whether it will work for them. Often there’s more than one choice, and if the first one fails, a patient may be too sick to try another. So hundreds of people have made “mouse avatars” over the last few years to test chemotherapies.

“What I’m doing is personalized cancer treatment. It’s the wave of the future,” said Eileen Youtie, a Miami woman using mice to guide care for her hard-to-treat form of breast cancer.

“Part of this is trying to eliminate chemos that are not going to work on me. I don’t want to waste time taking them and poison my body.”

But there are no guarantees the mice will help.

“There’s not a lot of science” to say how well this works, and it should be considered highly experimental, said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.

Families of Newtown victims sue gunmaker, seller The Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn.— The families of nine of the 26 people killed and a teacher injured two years ago at the Sandy Hook Elementary School filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor and seller of the rifle used in the shooting.

The negligence and wrongful death lawsuit, filed Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court, asserts that the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle should not have been

made publicly available because it is a military weapon unsuited for hunting or home defense.

“The AR-15 was specifically engineered for the United States Military to meet the needs of changing warfare,” attorney Josh Koskoff said in a release. “In fact, one of the Army’s specifications for the AR-15 was that it has the capability to penetrate a steel helmet.”

In addition to Bushmaster, the families have named Camfour,

a firearm distributor, and Riverview Gun Sales, the store where the Bushmaster rifle was purchased in 2010.

Messages seeking comment from the defendants were not immediately returned.

Bill Sherlach, whose wife, Mary, was killed in the shooting, said he believes in the Second Amendment, but believes the gun industry needs to be held to “standard business practices” when it comes to assuming the risk for producing, making and

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ conquers the box office The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — After three weeks of box office dominance, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1” ceded its reign to “Exodus: Gods and Kings.” The biblical epic easily ruled the weekend with a $24.5 million debut, according to box office tracker Rentrak’s Sunday estimates, while “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” dominated international charts with a staggering $117.6 million from 38 territories in advance of its North America release this week.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1,” down 40 percent from last weekend, came in a distant second, earning $13.2 million.

With an expensive $140 million production budget, “Exodus: Gods and Kings” met expectations in its first weekend. But it failed to live up to

the precedent set by some recent biblically themed films, including “Noah,” which opened to $43.7 million in March.

“I think Hollywood is learning that putting epic, biblical stories on the big screen comes at a pretty heavy price. It’s not easy to do this,” said Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

Fox’s domestic distribution chief Chris Aronson said he is happy about the performance of his studio’s film.

“We’re feeling great,” Aronson said.

“We came in right where our expectations were.”

According to the studio, opening weekend crowds for the film were divided fairly evenly down gender lines, but they skewed older with 65 percent over the age of 25.

“It’s a very diverse audience,” said Aronson, noting that 20 percent were AfricanAmerican and 18 per-

selling a product.

“These companies assume no responsibility for marketing and selling a product to the general population who are not trained to use it nor even understand the power of it,” he said.

The plaintiffs include Sherlach and the families of Vicki Soto, Dylan Hockley, Noah Pozner, Lauren Rousseau, Benjamin Wheeler, Jesse Lewis, Daniel Barden, Rachel D’Avino and teacher Natalie Hammond, who was injured in the shooting.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages.

Nicole Hockley, Dylan’s mother, planned a news conference later Monday morning with U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty and U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy.

In 2005, Congress and President George W. Bush approved a federal law that shielded gun makers from lawsuits over criminal use of their products, with some exemptions.

Merriam-Webster names ‘culture’ word of the year

cent Hispanic. “It’s a movie for everyone.”

Also new in theaters, “Top Five,” from writer, director and star Chris Rock, opened strongly. The Paramount-distributed comedy took in an estimated $7.2 million from only 979 locations to take the fourth-place spot right behind “Penguins of Madagascar.”

“It’s exactly what we needed to get this movie up and running,” said Megan Colligan, Paramount’s president of worldwide distribution. “It gives us the right rhythm to keep building and building. I think it’s going to benefit from great word of mouth.”

“Top Five” will expand each weekend before hitting 2,000 screens by Jan. 1.

NEW YORK (AP) — A nation, a workplace, an ethnicity, a passion, an outsized personality. The people who comprise these things, who fawn or rail against them, are behind Merriam-Webster’s 2014 word of the year: culture.

The word joins Oxford Dictionaries’ “vape,” a darling of the e-cigarette movement, and “exposure,” declared the year’s winner at Dictionary.com during a time of tragedy and fear due to Ebola.

Merriam-Webster based its pick and nine runners-up on significant increases in lookups this year over last on Merriam-Webster.com, along with interesting, often culture-driven — if you will — spikes of concentrated interest.

In the No. 2 spot is “nostalgia,” during a year of big 50th anniversaries pegged to 1964: the start of the free speech movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the birth of the Ford Mustang and the British Invasion heralded by the landing of the Beatles on U.S. soil for the first time.

Nostalgia was followed by insidious, legacy, feminism and a rare multiword phrase that can be looked up in total, in a foreign language at that: the French “je ne sais quoi.”

The Springfield, Massachusetts-based dictionary giant filters out perennial favorites when picking word of the year, but does that formula leave them chasing language fads?

“We’re simply using the word culture more frequently,” said Peter Sokolowski, editor at large for Merriam-Webster. “It may be a fad. It may not. It may simply be evolution.”

Living longer doesn’t have to mean getting “old.”

Newton boys win, girls lose at Pella Christian

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Meshing as a team, Newton High’s Cardinal boys swept the competition at the bowling meet hosted by Pella Christian Saturday. Newton’s boys racked up a 153pin win over Fairfield and beat Pella Christian by 358 pins.

Newton’s girls lost a dual for the first time in more than a year. Junior Madison Humphrey rolled a 451 series for the Cardinals. Unfortunately, no other Newton girls broke a 300 series. The girls were beaten by Fairfield, 2,254-2,199. Pella Christian did not field a varsity girls’ team.

“The boys did well as a team,” said Brett Jacobs, Newton head coach. “No one really stood out as the top bowler, but the underclassmen stepped up their game. All but one bowled over a 300 series.”

In the boys’ competition, Newton was up by 48 pins after the individual games. The Cardinals kept their momentum going in the Baker games with a total of 848 (135-166-204169-174). It was more than 100 pins better than Fairfield and almost 200 pins better than Pella Christian.

Newton won the meet with a total of 2,426 pins. Fairfield was second at 2,273 and Pella Christian took third at 2,068.

Payton Cox had the high individual score for Newton with a 329 (161168) followed by Reid Miller at 317

(182-135). Shea Carre rolled a 200 in his second game for a total of 316. Alex Bare finished with a 312 (180-132) followed by Shaiden Simmons at 304 (122182) and Sam Supino at 283 (121-162).

“Madison bowled Humphrey a second game of 263 with eight strikes in a row. The rest of the girls on the team struggled adjusting to the lane conditions,” Jacobs said of the Cardinal girls. “Our girls led Fairfield by 111 pins after the individual games, but went down hill from there only bowling a 661 in the Baker games.”

Humphrey had a first game of 188 then the 263 for her 451. Erica Bailey bowled a 295 series with games of 142 and 153. Mariah Gonzales had a 274 (167-107) and Melanie Stice had a 271 (132-139). Alyssa White followed with a 247 (109-138) and Kayte Hughes had a 217 (103-114).

The Cardinal girls’ Baker games score was 661 (178-137-104-138106). Jacobs said Fairfield had a “great round of Baker games with 827 to win by 55 pins.”

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News COUNCIL BLUFFS — Newton High’s Cardinals had two wrestlers post top-10 finishes at the 2014 Council Bluffs Classic over the weekend. There were 32 teams from five states competing in the two-day event at the Mid America Center.

“This is a good tournament for our kids to compete against not only quality wrestlers from our state but from other states in the Midwest,” said Andy Swedenhjelm, Newton head coach.

“I was happy with the way our kids did compete this weekend. I think they had a lot of fun. This group really enjoys competition and they have fun together.”

Cardinals swim relays at Marshalltown Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Taking a break from the normal swim meet style, Newton High’s Cardinal boys jumped into a different type of competition Saturday. Only four-man and two-man relay races are featured at the Marshalltown Bobcat Invitational swim meet.

“It was a good meet for us.

We had some great swims and came close to some records,” said Dave Hook, Newton head coach.

“We put together relays looking to go after a couple of the Bobcat Invitational records. We did break one, but Valley did too. We came very, very close on another one.”

Jake Lensing and Isaak Webb combined to win the 200-yard breaststroke relay in 2 minutes, 4.48 seconds.

The old meet mark was 45.65 seconds set in 2006.

Valley won the varsity team title with 88 points. Newton was fourth with 52 points, just six points out of second place. Cedar Rapids Kennedy placed second with 58 points followed by Marshalltown in third at 54. Waterloo East was fifth with 23 points and Atlantic was sixth at 20 points.

“The guys really enjoy the relay-style meets. It’s a nice change for everybody,” Hook said. “Guys get to swim a couple different events.”

Jacob Knoll and Reese Rosenquist combined for fourth place in the varsity 200 butterfly relay with a time of 2:22.98. Logan Heisdorffer and Zach Theis were fourth in the 200 freestyle in 2:06.08.

Lucas Warren and Aaron King claimed fourth in the 200 backstroke relay in 2:03.30.

King combined with Jeffrey Fitzgerald to place fourth in the 1,000 freestyle in 12:05.04.

Fitzgerald joined Paul Maharry in the 400 medley relay for fifth in 5:12.08. Theis and Rosenquist placed fifth in the 400 freestyle with a time of 4:39.93.

“Logan and Zach did a nice job in the varsity 200 freestyle and Jacob Knoll and Reese had a good showing in their butterfly varsity relay,” Hook said.

Newton took second in two of the three four-man relay races at the meet.

Webb, Lensing, King and Warner began the meet with a second-place finish in the 200 medley relay in 1:42.72. The same foursome posted a secondplace time of 1:31.52 in the 200 freestyle. Both were season-best times for the Cardinals.

Balanced attack continues to propel PCM girls

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — For the second straight game, the Prairie City-Monroe girls basketball team has gotten a balanced effort at the offensive end.

And done so without taking a 3-pointer.

The end result was another easy victory on the road.

The Mustangs used a 9-0 first-quarter run to grab control and then put CollinsMaxwell/Baxter away for good with a 13-2 spurt in the third.

That was good enough to give the only undefeated team left in the Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference a 59-29 victory.

Three players scored in double-figures and another starter finished with nine as the Mustangs had 17 assists on their 22 field goals to improve to 5-0 in conference play.

“It’s been a huge lift to our team,” said PCM coach Bret Grier about the balanced scoring. “Not because (Rachel) Freland and (Courtney) VanHouweling can’t carry the load, but when they see the other players can pick up the slack, they will figure out that they don’t have to carry the load. It also gives confidence to Rachel Gulling and our sophomores.”

Freland did finish with 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists and VanHouweling also added 12 points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals. But the Mustangs (5-2, 5-0) also got 11 points and five boards from Katie VandeWall and nine points from Gulling.

Kayla Jennings pulled down six boards, too.

PCM now also sits as the only unbeaten team in HOIAC play.

lowing a 44-40 loss to Greene County. Nevada, Saydel, Gilbert and Greene County are all currently one game back of PCM at 4-1.

The Raiders fell down by 10 after one quarter and never recovered. CMB coach Jamie Zabel says his squad turned it over too much and missed too many open shots.

It was the fifth time in seven games this year that CMB was held to less than 40 points.

The Raiders were 9-of-34 from the floor and 8-of-16 from the foul line.

“We get good looks. We just don’t knock them down,” Zabel said. “We turned it over early. That is uncharacteristic of us to turn it over more than 20 times. The effort was good defensively.”

CMB freshman Brianda Bane led the Raiders with 10 points and nine boards, while junior Bridget Hurley pulled down 10 rebounds.

Senior Lexi Breon, a second-team all-conference player a year ago, scored just two points and was 0-for-7 from the floor. She did have eight

boards.

“We wanted to focus on trying to stop her,” said Grier of Breon. “Gulling and ( Jayci) Vos do a nice job defensively.

We went 1-3-1 on our makes and man-to-man on our misses. That may have helped slow her down a little bit. She is a really nice ball player.”

CMB (0-7, 0-5) trailed by 10 after the first quarter and by 13 at the break, but it wasn’t until the 13-2 run in the third that put CMB out of reach of a comeback, according to Zabel.

“We started slow again. And then they threw a haymacker at us and it turned the game completely into a rout,” Zabel said. “We played well overall.

We just can’t turn it over. The long rebounds lead to layups and the turnovers lead to easy buckets, too. “(PCM) might be the real deal. That is a very good team.

One of these days, things will go our way and the shots will start to fall.”

CMB’s next game will be 6 p.m. Tuesday at home against South Hamilton (1-4, 1-4).

PCM tries to move to 6-0 in conference play Tuesday when it travels to North Polk for a 6 p.m. tip off.

PCM boys turns up pressure in win over CMB

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Newton Daily News Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Xavier Miller, bottom, went 4-1 for the Mustangs at the Ankeny Centennial dual tournament on Saturday. PCM went 0-5 on the day, but Miller is now 12-1 on the season.

Short-handed PCM struggles at Centennial dual tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ANKENY — Not having two of its best wrestlers at the back end of the lineup Saturday plagued the Prairie City-Monroe wrestling team at the Ankeny Centennial dual tournament.

Seniors Ron Marshall (170) and Jaret Maggard (182) are both 7-2 on the season but neither was available Saturday because of ACT testing.

That affected the Mustangs’ lineup in a big way as PCM went 0-5 on the day, suffering losses to Ankeny Centennial (66-16), Southeast Polk (78-6), Ottumwa (64-15), Oskaloosa (48-24) and Dubuque Hempstead (72-7).

The two bright spots on the day came from sophomore Xavier Miller at 120 and senior

Tristan Clark at 126.

Clark, ranked No. 7 in Class 2A, improved to 13-0 on the season with five more wins Saturday. He had three pins and defeated two ranked opponents in his final two matches of the day.

Clark beat 3A No. 8 Nathan Feldman of Dubuque Hempstead, 4-2, in Sudden Victory and then dispatched of Oskaloosa’s Drew Sams 8-4. Sams is ranked No. 8 at 120 pounds.

Miller suffered his first loss of the season when Southeast Polk’s Austin Brommel pinned him in the second period. He bounced back nicely though, winning two matches by fall and two others by major decision. He is now 12-1 on the year.

Besides Miller and Clark, the wins were hard to come by.

BAXTER — The Prairie City-Monroe boys’ basketball team forced Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter into 17 turnovers Friday and a balanced scoring attack guided the offense to a 59-46 road win.

The Mustangs got 14 points from junior Logan Gilman and senior Trey Lindsay, but seniors Ricky Reeve and Lucas Pendroy also put in 11 and 10 points, respectively, in the win.

Lindsay gave the Mustangs a five-point lead at the break following a steal and layup at the other end. PCM carried the momentum into the second half and outscored the Raiders 17-10 in the third and eventually kept CMB winless on the season.

“That was the whole key to everything. We did a good job of guarding them,” PCM coach Fred Lorensen said. “They have some pretty good shooters and a couple guys inside that can hurt you, but we did a good job of keeping it out of both places.”

Lindsay currently leads the state with 26 steals. He had five against CMB and the final one of the first half may have been the swing play of the game.

The Raiders rallied back from an early deficit thanks to a pair of triples by Joey Nissen.

They had the ball in a threepoint hole in the final seconds, but Lindsay converted his own steal into two points at the other end to give PCM a 29-24 lead at the break.

The Mustangs used the momentum to outscore CMB 17-10 in the third and they went on to win by 13.

“Instead of us getting a chance to tie it or be down one at the break, they go up five,” CMB coach Scott Brummel said.

“That’s not the only possession, but it’s an example of one that we didn’t handle well.”

Seniors Bryce Kemp and Joey Nissen each scored 12 points to lead the Raiders, while senior

Troy Hyde/Newton Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Ricky Reeve scores two of his 11 points against Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Friday night. Reeve also had four steals and the Mustangs won 59-46.

Seth Balke chipped in eight and junior Brady Stover scored all seven of his points in the first two quarters.

Kemp, who woke up Friday with a temperature of 101 degrees but still played, also led CMB with eight rebounds and Balke finished with six assists.

The Raiders though continued to struggle offensively. Their season-high point total was 51 in the season opener against Nevada and they have scored less than 50 in four of the first five games.

Friday night, the main issue for CMB was turnovers.

“We were 6-for-12 from the 3-point line and I will take that,” Brummel said. “They made 10 more shots from the field and

that’s directly because we turned it over too much. We didn’t cut middle in our zone offense at all.

Our reversal was always back to the top of the key and that was when they got their steals.”

The 59 points for PCM was its second lowest output of the season. The Mustangs still found a way to win though, thanks in large part to Lindsay and Reeve’s pressure defense at the top of the zone. Reeve finished with four steals.

The Mustangs had 13 steals in the game and Lindsay also had seven assists in helping PCM win its second straight since losing to Pella Christian.

Hawk girls remain perfect through seven games

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — LynnvilleSully’s girls stayed undefeated with a 55-23 win at home o v e r B e l l e Plaine F r i d a y.

T h e Class 1A 11thranked Hawks picked Vos up the pace in the second half after a bit of a sub-par first half against the Plainsman girls.

“We didn’t come in the first half and play very well on either end of the floor,” said Jerry Hulsing, Hawk head coach. “The second half was a different story played much better. Our offense was sharper as we added ball fakes and were a little more patient allowing cuts to open up.”

Hulsing said the Hawks struggled to get a rhythm in the first half, only leading Belle Plaine 21-12 at halftime.

He said in the second half, the Hawks moved their feet and didn’t foul and forced Belle Plaine

to hit contested shots, “then we rebounded the ball well.”

Lynnville-Sully outscored Belle Plaine 3511 in the second half to snare its seventh win in as many games. The Hawks are 6-0 atop the South Iowa Cedar League.

The Hawks shot 41 percent, 19-of-46, from the field while holding Belle Plaine to a chilly 22.5 percent. LynnvilleSully cashed in 16-of28 from the free-throw line.

Marissa Vos powered in 18 points and controlled 18 rebounds for Lynnville-Sully. Lysandra James added 12 points. Vos and Brenna Lanser each had four assists.

Shelby Davis scored seven points while Lanser and Madison Rasmusson each tossed in six points. Scoring two points each were Kasiah Ehresman, Jelissa Rozendaal and Elizabeth Van Manen.

Marisa Pope led Belle Plaine with eight points and six rebounds.

Lynnville-Sully hosts HLV Tuesday.

SULLY — In a South Iowa Cedar League showdown, LynnvilleSully’s Hawks had the visiting Belle Plaine Plainsmen right where they wanted them. The Hawks were up 28-15 at halftime in front of their home crowd.

Unfortunately, they could not hold back the undefeated Plainsmen in the second half.

Lynnville-Sully and Belle Plaine went to overtime to settle the game.

The Plainsmen (4-0) pulled out a 64-60 decision over the Hawks (3-2).

“Our guys did a lot a good things tonight,” said Nick Harthoorn, Lynnville-Sully head coach. “We came up a little short on the scoreboard, but we are get-

ting better as a team. I think we will learn a lot from this experience.”

The teams were knotted at 54-all at the end of regulation.

Kyle Van Dyke scored 10 points and had five steals.

Brand and Sage Ehresman each had six rebounds.

Ehresman scored four points and Tyler Van Zante had here points.

CMB ends losing skid with ease

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — The CollinsMaxwell/Baxter boys’ basketball team scored the first 18 points against Grand View Christian and cruised to the easy win Saturday.

Four players scored in double-figures and the Raiders hit at least five 3-pointers in a game for the second straight night during a 73-31 win over the previously unbeaten Thunder.

Grand View Christian came into the game 3-0 and defeated its first three opponents by an average of almost 50 points per game, but the short-handed Thunder were no match for CMB’s size and athleticism.

Tommy Galloway and Joey Nissen both had a seasonhigh 16 points for the Raiders, while Bryce Kemp finished

with 10 points, 13 rebounds and four assists. Seth Balke scored 12 points and dished out five assists as well.

It was CMB’s first win of the year. And the Raiders dominated the boards, 36-25.

Patrick Girard and Galloway combined to score the Raiders’ first nine points and then Nissen buried the first of his four 3-pointers of the game to make it 12-0 and eventually led 27-6.

The Raiders led 37-17 at the break, kicked on the continuous clock on Balke’s bucket late in the third quarter and ended a five-game losing streak with ease.

BAXTER — Down three points with the ball, CollinsMaxwell/Baxter coach Jamie Zabel called timeout to set up a final play.

But several minutes after the Raiders had dropped to 0-8 on the season, the secondyear coach was still trying to figure out what happened.

And once again, his squad came up short in a close game.

Grand View Christian led by as many as nine in the third quarter but held off a fierce rally by CMB in the fourth and survived with a 46-43 win to improve to 4-0 on the year.

Freshman Brianda Bane scored a career-high 20 points and grabbed six rebounds and Bridget Hurley added a season-high 13 points and eight boards, but CMB failed to get

off a tying 3-pointer in the closing seconds after outscoring the Thunder 29-24 in the second half.

Hurley her third and final 3-pointer of the game with 4 minutes to play and that cut GVC’s lead three.

Bane then made 40-39 with a jumper. She hit a pair of free throws with 1:45 to play to keep at a one-point deficit, but CMB couldn’t pull ahead in the final seconds.

Megan Stubbs made four free throws in the final 2 minutes to keep CMB at bay and scored 16 points in the win.

Katie Hall put in 13 points.

Lexi Breon had eight assists and four rebounds in the loss. Mackenzie Schmitz also had six boards.

The Tigerhawks trailed 30-12 at halftime, but rallied with a 26-14 advantage in the fourth. The visitors made only 19-of47 from the floor in the game though and missed nine free throws in a seven-point game.

Eleven of Myers’

18 points came in the fourth quarter. He also grabbed four rebounds and collected four steals.

Junior Jacob Lietz also finished in doublefigures for the Tigerhawks, scoring nine of his 13 points in the final frame.

Lietz also had a team-high three assists and added three steals.

Freshman Jarod Nichols added eight points and seven rebounds and Colin Lourens scored seven points, pulled down 14 boards and blocked four shots.

Jacob Buehrer also had six points and six rebounds in the loss.

“Jacob really gave us a lift off the bench tonight,” Borts said. “He was really physical on the boards.”

Colfax-Mingo finished with 20 offensive rebounds and 11 steals in the game but still dropped to 0-4 on the year.

Roland-Story moved to 4-1 overall and 3-1 in league play following the win.

“But give them credit.

They got their hands on a lot of passes and it ultimately came down to us turning the ball over too much.”

A positive sign for the Raiders’ offense was their outside shooting.

CMB made 6-of-12 from long range after averaging just one make from out there per game prior to Friday. Nissen had his best game of the year as he made 4-of-8

from deep.

“That’s what we had hoped for coming into the season was about six or seven 3-point makes per game,” Brummel said. “That was Joey’s best game. He shot it with confidence and we need that from him.

That’s a role that fits him very well.”

The 400 freestyle relay team of Fitzgerald, Maharry, Rosenquist and Warren took fifth in 3:52.98.

“Lucas Warren and Aaron King worked well together in the 200 backstroke,” Hook said.

“All the kids had a good meet for us.”

In the junior varsity races, Newton recorded five fourth-place finishes and one fifth place.

The 100 freestyle duo of Grant Hamand and Chet Adams placed fourth in 1:11.53 and Knoll and Heisdorffer were fourth in the 200 backstroke in 2:27.01. Heisdorffer and Karl Recknagel were fifth in the 400 freestyle in 5:06.45.

“Hunter and Dakota are a little disappointed, but they have high expectations for themselves. They learned a lot going up against good competition, which will help them later in the season as we get to districts and state,” Swedenhjelm said.

Three other Newton wrestlers — all with 2-1 records in Friday’s round robins — made the Gold Brackets of their respective weight divisions.

Alex Bentley and Duncan Lee took 13th in the 120 and 195 weight classes. Bryce Tish finished 14th in the 145-pound division. In their final matches of the tournament, Bentley pinned Gavin Kramer of Spirit Lake in 29 seconds, Lee tallied a 10-5 win in overtime against Roger Freese of Underwood, and Tish was pinned by Cody Zellmer of Woodbury Central in 2 minutes, 28 seconds.

Swedenhjelm said Wolf is a wrestler who gives his all and it paid off for him in Saturday’s matches. He also said Lee, who is just a secondyear wrestler, competed well against some state-ranked opponents in the 195-pound division.

Ross Hull reached the firstplace match of the Silver Bracket’s 106-pound division. Hull had a bye and notched backto-back 15-0 technical falls over opponents. He was pinned by Corbin Harrington of Lincoln East in 1:56 in the consolation championship match.

Jordan Henning, like Hull, finished 18th overall in the tournament. Henning took second in the 220 consolation

bracket. He moved to the firstplace match with a bye and two wins by pins, but lost by a fall to Matt Muthersbough of Lincoln East in 5:13.

Brady Smith finished third in the 160-pound division in the Silver Bracket. Smith won by pin and a 6-3 decision in overtime to reach the consolation third-place match. Smith recorded a 12-4 major decision over Winston Veatch of Missouri Valley, which made him 19th overall.

Also taking 19th overall in his weight class was Caden Manning. Manning was third in the 285-pound class in the Silver Bracket.

Parker Schuster took seventh in the 126-pound division’s Silver Bracket. Schuster went 2-2 to reach the seventh-place match. He pinned Jeffery Molina of Olathe South (Kan.) in 23 seconds.

Schuster was 23rd overall.

Newton has a full week of action including two home duals in Little Hawkeye Conference action. The Cardinals host Pella Tuesday, then Norwalk comes to NHS Thursday.

The Tuesday meet, which also includes Carlisle for a nonconference dual, begins at 5:30 p.m. and Thursday’s dual starts at 6:30 p.m.

Newton wraps up the first

semester of wrestling Saturday when the varsity goes to the Fort Dodge Invitational and the junior varsity is at North Polk.

“It’s a busy time of the season for us. Our kids will have about 17 matches in the final eight days of the first semester,” Swedenhjelm said. “We’re a bit tired, but the guys will refocus to compete this week.”
