Teachers, parents speak to board about finishing transition Six speakers covered various topics before 4-3 vote

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Former Vermont governor Howard Dean is introduced by Liz Mueller, Hillary Clinton’s paid staff organizer for Jasper County, at an appearance in Newton on Tuesday. Dean said Clinton is the only 2016 presidential candidate who “knows how things really work.”

Dean says volunteers, staff must be persistent

Former presidential candidate visits Clinton’s Newton office

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News If a voter seems to hedge in some way, Howard Dean tells volunteers, keep chipping away.

That was one piece of advice the former Vermont governor, 2004 presidential candidate and chairman of the Democratic National Committee offered when he appeared at Hillary Clinton’s Newton presidential campaign office Tuesday. Newton was the fourth of five planned cities Dean was scheduled to visit Tuesday as he stumps for Clinton on the first of at least two planned trips to Iowa.

“For voters, the switch might flip on tomorrow, or maybe next week,” Dean told the Newton Daily News, the only media outlet to cover Dean’s Newton

appearance. “The key is to keep them engaged and get the registered voters to the polls.”

Dean socialized with about 15 volunteers and others who gathered at the downtown office to meet with the former governor before making a few brief comments about why he supports Clinton. He said Clinton is the only 2016 presidential candidate who “knows how things really work” based on her experience in the nation’s capital and her opposition of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision.

“Hillary is who we need at this critical point,” Dean told the group.

Dean also said he was endorsed eight times by the National Rifle Association, but that organization has run amok, he said. He said the NRA is “not what it used

to be, and it now thinks you need a bazooka to shoot a deer in your front yard.”

Liz Mueller, Hillary Clinton’s paid staff organizer for Jasper County, introduced Dean to those gathered. The group included two Jasper County Democrats Central Committee Executive Board Members — executive organizer Cindy Pollard and Treasurer Linda Wormley — along with several other longtime county residents, such as Max Tipton and Patty and Doug Thoma.

Dean said he only re-creates his famous “Yeah!” scream when he feels like it, rather than on demand. He said he likes Iowa voters because of their intelligence, and because a battle-tested candidate who does well in Iowa shows a lot of promise.

“Iowa is the first state in the campaign and one of the toughest to campaign in,” he said.

At many of its regular meetings, the Newton Community School District Board of Education has no one sign up to speak during the public forum.

However, there have been four meetings within the past year where there were five or more people signed up to speak. The most recent occurrence, prompted by the board’s move to consider rescinding its reconfiguration plan, was at Monday’s meeting, when six

people spoke to various elements of reconfiguring.

Four of the six speakers were in favor of the district completing the reconfiguration plan set in motion by a board votes in March and May. There were about 60 people in attendance at Monday’s meeting; the board eventually voted 4-3 to defeat a measure that would have rescinded the reconfiguration plan.

One speaker was Bill Perrenoud — a product of Newton schools and a longtime educator and board member in the district. He voted for the reconfiguration plan to proceed and for its 2016-17 implementation date while on the board.

Glassinator sculpture Beck’s Hybrid project new at library making progress

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Glassinator, a kinetic sculpture by Andrew Carson and a gift from the Library Foundation was constructed at the Newton Public Library on Tuesday. The sculpture, pieced together by Kevin and Kimbra Korte in the brisk weather, replaced the oversize wooden chair that was taken down due to safety concerns.

An economic assistance contract with Beck’s Hybrid was approved and signed by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday.

Beck’s is building a $15 million, 90,000 square-foot agricultural seed retail and distribution center located in Colfax that is expected to create 50 jobs.

The contents of the contract were previously approved by the board on May 19 and this action was more of a formality, Jasper County Economic Development Corp. Director Chaz Allen said.

Beck’s will receive a 75 percent abatement the first year, 60 percent in year two, 45 percent the third year, 30 percent the fourth year and 15 percent the fifth year.

Following the abatement, the county will begin receiving tax revenue from the center.

“I think that’s a pretty good deal to get that for that amount,” supervisor Denny Carpenter said.

Also approved at the meeting was the replacement of eight windows in the Jasper County Courthouse clock tower. Reep Window Wall Contractors of Baxter was awarded the bid at $19,842.

It is the contract Allen with the c o u n t y, which will offer the match,” Allen said.

The match includes a $20,000 forgivable loan to Beck’s Hybrid, and a second 0 percent interest, five-year $20,000 loan to be used for initial development and a fiveyear property tax abatement in exchange for the $15 million economic investment.

Kellogg UMC to host supper, pageant Kellogg United Methodist Church will host a free sharing supper at 6 p.m. Saturday at the church, 417 Second St. in Kellogg.

The ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked beans, rolls, homemade ice cream and cake meal will be served in the fellowship hall.

Following supper the children and youth will present a Christmas candlelight pageant including music and drama.

Submitted Photo Volunteers scout the tables full of gifts donated to this year’s Toys for Tots site at Prairie City United Methodist Church. The Toys for Tots program gave at least four toys to each child of nearly 60 families.

Toys for Tots program helps nearly 60 families Prairie City United Methodist collects gifts for children

By Alex Olp Prairie City News PRAIRIE CITY — Numerous parents in Prairie City and surrounding communities will now have more toys to give their children thanks to this year’s success of the Toys for Tots program.

Hundreds of toys collected locally and in the Des Moines area made their way to Prairie City again this year, which is the fifth season since Sue Ponder and Prairie City Church of Brethren pastor Tim Peter took over the Prairie City Toys for Tots site from the city.

“We helped about 60 families and each kid got a minimum two toys, a stocking stuffer and a book,” Ponder said.

The objective of the yearly program, which is ran through the United States Marine Corps and organized throughout the country, is to collect new toys by donations in the months leading up to Christmas and campaign to distribute them to less fortunate children in surrounding communities.

Prairie City’s site gave out around four toys to every child of the 60 families participating in the program — another successful Christmas, Ponder said.

“It was a pretty good deal. A pretty good year,” she said. “We got a lot of support from the Marines too.”

Prairie City’s Toys for Tots was once again run by the PC Ministerial Association as the program requires the site to be operated by a nonprofit organization.

People still wanting to donate more will be able to in Des Moines through Dec. 17. This year’s donations to Prairie City’s site benefited families not only

in Prairie City, but a lot of towns throughout central Iowa including Colfax, Newton, Monroe, Grinnell, What Cheer, Delta and Knoxville.

As for presents that were donated by residents of Prairie City, Ponder and Peter try to keep the distribution of those toys as local as possible.

“The toys that are donated in Prairie City pretty much stay in Prairie City,” Ponder said. “We think that’s important and we try to make sure that happens.”

More than a dozen volunteers, including a group of retired teachers and other people from within the community, finished sorting, wrapping and distributing the final gifts last week.

“It’s been a blessing to us,” Ponder said. “It’s what we do. It just brings everybody together to help these people. Everybody needs toys for Christmas.”

Grinnell First Friends to host live nativity Grinnell First Friends Church will host its 29th annual live nativity featuring live Biblical characters and animals that portray the Christmas story from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the church on Highway 146 South between Grinnell and Interstate 80.

Three scenes will involve the shepherds in the field, the manger and the traveling wise men.

This is a drive through experience and guests are encouraged to pause for reflection or pass a second time depending on traffic. Characters in different costumes will rotate every 25 minutes.

Holy Trinity to host four Christmas services Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will host several Christmas-related service opportunities.

Christmas worship service “The Light Shines in the Darkness” will be at 5:30 Saturday at the church, 1409 S. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton. It will include scripture readings, Christmas carols and candlelighting.

Christmas worship service based on “O” antiphons will be at 10:15 a.m. Sunday at Holy Trinity.

Christmas Eve candlelighting service will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at Holy Trinity. The children will lead the worship through a play entitled a “Christmas Store Window.” The Christmas offering will be given to the Iowa Food Bank, which sponsors the “Feeding America Backpack Program.”

A worship service will be at 10:15 a.m. Dec. 27 at Holy Trinity.

In schools, on streets and TV, children feel Muslim backlash

By Michael Sisak The Associated Press A backlash against American Muslims is leaving a mark on some of the nation’s youngest minds.

After seeing presidential candidate Donald Trump call on television for barring Muslims from entering the country, 8-year-old Sofia Yassini checked the locks on her family’s home in Plano, Texas, imagining the Army would take them away. She raced to her room and stuffed a pair of Barbie dolls, a tub of peanut butter and a toothbrush into a bag. She insisted on bringing boots for the long boat ride she imagined was coming.

When her mother, Melissa, arrived home from her work as a human re-

sources manager, Sofia ran into her arms and cried.

“I want people to understand the impact that their words have on these children,” said Melissa Yassini, who described the experience in a Facebook post that had been shared more than 21,000 times as of Monday. “We often forget, we’re waging war on one another with words, and we’re adults. We can take it. The kids are suffering with this.

They go to school every day and they’re afraid to tell people they’re Muslim. This has to stop.”

Anti-Muslim sentiment was building in the days before 14 people were killed Dec. 2 in the massacre at a disability center in Southern California by a Muslim couple investigators say were inspired at least in part by the Islamic State group.

Some governors had already said they wouldn’t allow Syrians fleeing civil war into their states because of extremist fears. Experts say Trump’s call Dec. 7 to keep all Muslims from entering the United States — a plan he said would apply only temporarily and to non-citizens — only fanned the flames.

Parents say their children hear disparaging remarks in their own communities, see hateful bumper stickers and T-shirts, and have had friends abandon them because of their faith.

Ahad Khan, 12, came home from school in rural Westminster, Maryland, in tears because his best friend called him a future terrorist who couldn’t be trusted, according to Ahad’s father, Raza Khan.

Khan, the chairman of the science

department at Carroll Community College, shared Ahad’s experience in an open letter to Trump on Facebook. As of Monday, it had been shared more than 4,300 times.

“He is the engine right now for that fearmongering,” Khan said in an interview. “I don’t think he realizes that his words matter. He doesn’t realize the damaging effect his words can have on people, especially kids.”

In the minds of children — many long on imagination and short on political understanding — phrases like “total and complete shutdown of Muslims” can be traumatic, experts say.

“Children expect that society will be nurturing and protective,” said Mark DeAntonio, a child psychiatry professor at the UCLA.

Local News Transition Continued from Page 1A “This has to be a first-class system,” Perrenoud said. “Reconfiguration will still allow team and collaborative teaching to take place. Studies still show smaller class sizes helps students learn. This will be possible with reconfiguration.”

Berg Elementary School teacher LaNita Keeton also urged the board to proceed with reconfiguring. She applauded the decision to re-open Emerson Hough as an elementary school, and the concept of neighborhood schools.

Berg Elementary School special education teacher and parent Miranda Bratland — with fellow Level II/III Berg special education teacher Jenny Springer by her side — encouraged the board to proceed with reconfiguration. She also said the number of students who will be educated in that setting next year warrants another teacher, and that will require the space more available at Thomas Jefferson rather than what is at Berg Elementary School in its current K-3 arrangement.

The only one of the six speakers Monday who advocated for giving up reconfiguration entirely was Aurora Heights teacher Nicky Lampe.

She said she has found sub-

stantial material that supports the idea of lower class sizes — one of the main stated goals of NCSD reconfiguration — has become more of an political issue. She said she isn’t opposed to all types of reconfiguration, especially the grades 5-8 Berg Complex component of Newton’s plan, but it’s also important to not allow smaller class sizes to be “an obsession.”

Lampe said deciding the fate and determining other possible uses for the Emerson Hough building should be explored before reconfiguring and referred to Berg as the “youngest” building in the district. While technically built in 1961, long after the main structure of some district schools were completed, the additions made to its design over the years have made it perhaps the least efficient and biggest financial strain of all of Newton’s facilities.

Karen Hoffmeier said she’s concerned discussions have gone on for so long, progress has been lost. She pleaded with the board to put more longrange plans out to the public, and for there to be less shifting and changing of plans.

“I have always been a cheerleader for Newton schools,” Hoffmeier said. “Don’t lose your cheerleaders.”

other person to speak during Monday’s forum. She advised the board to not consider Newton’s TLC grant, which was approved last week by the state, in pondering whether to reconfigure. She said the grant proposal can be amended.

Rose said filling a math position at Berg Middle School, which went as an unfilled vacancy in 2015-16, is critical to making the TLC plan work.

She also said she could use some clarification as to what is meant by a grades 5-8 “building” from the board, regarding how much leadership is centralized ver-

Don’t fear pronouncing holiday treat names

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Dec. 16, 2015

There will be moments over the next few weeks when many of us will reach an awkward type of moment. We’ll see a familiar dish or treat — picturing its name, but uncertain on how to pronounce it.

Searching for the right syllables, we pray no one asks us what we’d like to eat, or any other situation that would involve having to say the term out loud. While we’re able to rattle off the words gyro, baklava and hors d’oeuvres just fine, some more simple (if sometimes contested) pronunciations escape us.

As you’re standing there, hoping someone else says the food’s name out loud as either a positive test or a bad example, here are a few tips from the Food Network and a few other sources on some randomly selected terms.

There are a few terms, such as jalapeño, posole, buffet and

quinoa, where most Americans simply inflect a vowel or a consonant in an incorrect way.

In the case of quinoa — grown by the Incas in South America for thousands of years and now regarded as a “superfood” for its health benefits — some of us could remember that a Spanish “qu” is more like a “k” sound, but few would know the letters an o and a make a “wa” sound. The correct pronunciation is more like “keen-wah.”

With other terms, such as with sherbet, mascarpone, espresso and caramel, we simply add or subtract letters on our own. Trying to stop saying “sher-bert,” or “mar-scar-ponay,” with a second “r” sound, would be tough for many of us.

Old habits die a slow, painful death.

Some mispronunciations seem more aggravating than others.

People who sell desserts and/or coffee tell me that skipping one of the As in caramel (shortening it to carmel) goes almost unnoticed, whereas “expresso” sometimes stops all activity in a venue.

One coffee shop manager told me the use of the word “expresso” or butchering of another basic coffee term is a first-degree felony. It leads to having your name creatively misspelled — at the very least — by the barista writing names on to-go cups.

For those who don’t seem to think minor aural mistakes are important in this subject area, keep in mind that it might lead to a big mistake, and spelling food names in both spoken word and in print can make a big difference as well.

In the southwest, where the most green and red chile can

be found, a “cheee-lay”cheeseburger is something completely separate from a chili cheeseburger. It’s the difference between having a chopped vegetable or sauce on your burger versus the “Texas chili” of beans and ground beef and tomatoes.

Americans have been speaking some words for so long, it’s rare someone even corrects them. That’s probably the case with gouda cheese, which, when said properly, is pronounced “how-da.”

Some of these faux pas are more significant than others, but we should at least show interest in correct, culturally tied pronunciation. Just think how you feel when someone mispronounces your name.

Cliff Foreman a true hero to Newton

By Scott Creech Newton Domino’s Owner Occasionally there is a person who has really been a quiet but pivotal person in our community.

We don’t think about the guy who comes and fixes your dishwasher, washer or refrigerator. The guy who makes your wife really happy and proud you can get things done.

Last week, we lost a true hero to Newton.

Cliff Foreman, a 24-year veteran of Domino’s Pizza.

He started with us in 1992. He delivered to every house in Newton more than five times in his tenure with us. That’s a lot of happy children, moms, dads and grandparents.

What a sweet man he was. He very rarely missed a day of work.

He taught a great work ethic to many young people who came into work. Everyone that knew Cliff loved Cliff.

Cliff worked six days a week with us. Not that he had to, but because he wanted to. We wanted to make sure he worked six days a week to make sure he was up and about every day. The seventh day he was at church, so we knew he was OK every day. Cliff worked up until the last day he had his heart attack. I called him on Thursday and said we have it covered if you don’t feel like coming in. He showed up at 11 a.m. and made two final deliveries. Thursday night he called his son and said he was not feeling well. That night he had a heart attack at age 85. He was airlifted to

Des Moines Mercy hospital.

I had people tell me for 10 years: “He’s too old to work. You need to do something. He shouldn’t be there.” I’m proud of myself for not listening to those people. Work gave him something to look forward to. It gave me something to look forward to. He enjoyed coming to work. It was a relief to me to know he was OK when he walked in that door before 11 and always made me nervous when he had errands to run before work and arrived just a couple of minutes before 11 a.m. Us thinking, “is he OK?” He had a smile on and a happy good morning to all.

Cliff was our Yogi Berra too.

One night, an ex-employee visited with then current CEO of Maytag by knocking on the CEO’s door and asked Mr. Hadley why he was not receiving the pension he thought he should. I asked Cliff why someone would do that. His response was: “Sometimes people just get kicked in the head by a hog when they are growing up, and they never get over it.” I almost had to close the store with laughter.

Then there was the “They make money round, so let it roll around Christmas time.” Another of my favorites was, “I use to complain about not having any shoes until I met a man who had no feet.”

Someone asked him one day when he was going to slow down and rest and he said, “I’ll rest when they put me in that long box.” His most recent one, “I think I’m having a heart attack, somebody call Scott and tell him I might be late!”

I visited with Cliff the day after his heart attack. He grabbed my hand and told me he loved me. He was surrounded by lots of family.

He was ready to go see his wife, Shirley. His heart was working at 21 percent and his kidneys shut down. I told him, “I expect you’ll be back at work in two weeks!” He smiled. I kissed his hand and said goodbye.

I visited him the next night at the hospital, and he told me he was ready and they were going to disconnect some things and he may go downhill fast. I told him, “I probably needed some help in heaven and could he put in a good word for me.” He smiled.

He said he would, and said he was looking forward to meeting my brother who passed away 12 years ago. Wow. The older I get, the wiser I get. Thank you, Cliff.

Thank you Lord, that you introduced me to Cliff Foreman 23.5 years ago when he walked into our store looking for a part-time job.

Thank goodness for your family on your hectic night when you needed supper in a hurry. Cliff was there for you. Please consider sending a $1, $2 or $3 in honor of Cliff ’s name for the Christmas Lights on the Courthouse, 100 First Ave W. Cliff Foreman loved Christ, Christmas, his family and your family. Cliff was a cornerstone in his church and will be truly and hugely missed. God Bless you Cliff! You certainly blessed many a family in Newton.

While Americans fret over Donald Trump’s plans to ban Muslim immigration to the United States temporarily thanks to the governm e n t ’s inability to keep us safe, the gov- By Ben Shapiro ernment continues to prove its inability to keep us safe. This week, we found out that President Obama’s Department of Homeland Security prohibited agents from screening foreign citizens applying for visas to enter the country. According to former acting undersecretary at DHS for intelligence and analysis John Cohen, “During that time period immigration officials were not allowed to use or review social media as part of the screening process. ... The primary concern was that it would be viewed negatively if it was disclosed publicly and there were concerns that it would be embarrassing.”

He continued, “It was primarily a question of optics. There were concerns from a privacy and civil liberties perspective that while this was not illegal, that it would be viewed negatively if it was disclosed publicly.”

So 14 Americans in San Bernardino died for optics.

While President Obama insists that the government must check the metadata of American citizens to catch terrorists, he insists that his own people stop checking the publicly posted Facebook messages of potential terrorists.

This is the essence of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism suggests that all cultures are equal, that they carry equal values, that they pose equal threats to public safety.

Extending that logic, we must treat suspects from all cultures with equal care. But what if not all cultures provide an equal

threat? What if the people who engage in some cultures are more likely than others to participate in terrorism? Then, in order to maintain the multicultural fiction, we must bend over backwards not to check out threats from such cultures. Either that, or we must violate everyone’s civil rights equally.

The former is happening in the United States; the latter is happening in France, where the government has been knocking down the doors of hundreds of mosques on grounds of “preach[ing] hatred” or using “takfiri speech,” according to French imam Hassan El Alaoui. In the United States, we’d see such raids as a violation of the First and Fourth Amendments. In France, they have no such amendments. They do, however, have a multicultural view of the world.

Or at least they did.

Across Europe, the reality of multiculturalism is hitting home. German chancellor Angela Merkel, who was recently named Time’s Person of the Year for taking in one million Syrian refugees, said, “Multiculturalism leads to parallel societies and therefore remains a ‘life lie’ ... We want and we will reduce the number of refugees noticeably.” She was forced to denounce her own former viewpoint thanks to the fallout from her decisions: Refugee camps have turned into hotbeds of rape and child abuse.

Mass Muslim immigration into Europe has heightened such challenges for years, of course, but the left and the press have suppressed such information.

No longer.

This is what happens when the West denies its values. Eventually, reality forces the West to confront the truth: Its own culture is superior to others, and that pretending otherwise creates real danger. But so long as leftists like President Obama remain in denial, that danger will only grow.

Obituaries Junior W. Fowble Dec. 14, 2015 Junior W. Fowble, 85, formerly of Atlantic, passed away Monday, Dec. 14, 2015, at the Urbandale Healthcare Center.

Junior We s l e y Fowble was born May 11, 1930, south of Anita, the son of Raymond and Martha (Kirchoff ) Fowble. He attended Anita schools and served his

country in the United States Army from 1951 to 1953. He worked for Blue Star Foods in Atlantic, Fruehauf in Omaha, and Maytag in Newton, from 19661991.

Junior enjoyed playing cards, fishing and bowling. He was said to be quite the jokester, taking the opportunity whenever he could. Iowans are keenly aware that there is a continuous need to mow the lawn and push snow; Junior was very adamant that this could only be done with a John Deere. Ruth will treasure their countless

Emergency services urges residents to signup for alerts WENS system recently notified 85 people of bomb threat Newton Daily News Jasper County Emergency Services is reminding residents to register with the Wireless Emergency Notification System.

On Dec. 7, WENS was used to notify Newton residents to evacuate during a bomb threat. A total of 85 messages were sent out via voice calls and text message to both

landlines and registered cell phones in the area.

Those wishing to register with WENS should visit the Jasper County EMA website at www.jasperema-hls.org/ On the home page, there is a sign up link next to the Alert Iowa Logo. In the left hand column on all pages of the website, there is a link under the Jasper County Emergency Notification System Paragraph. These links lead to http://entry. inspironlogistics.com/ jasper_ia/wens.cfm Once residents are on the Jasper County Reg-

istration Page, they may sign up to five phone numbers at one time.

They will also have the options to select the following: • Community Notifications • School Districts Alerts • Weather Alerts Many select more than one option in each category (Example: work in one community and live in another).

Jasper County switched from CodeRED to the state provided Alert Iowa-WENS system last January. At

that time, the white pages (landlines) were imported by WENS. Emergency services struggle to get county residents to register their cell phones with WENS, likely due to many doing away with landlines and only use cell phones.

In the previous system, 5,000 records were registered. To date, Jasper County has just 1,892 phone numbers registered.

Anyone with questions should call Jasper County Emergency Management at 641792-7555.

Woman who wants implants must ignore boyfriend’s threats DEAR ABBY: I have always struggled with a lack of self-esteem and confidence. I would like to get breast implants. It’s not to seek attention or anything; it’s merely to feel better about myself. Clothes don’t fit me properly, and I am embarrassed.

My boyfriend is completely against it. He says he doesn’t want to be with a fake person, even though I have tried in vain to tell him I’ll be the same person on the inside. He has also threatened that we will have relationship problems if I have the surgery done.

This procedure will, in my opinion, help me in many ways. On the other hand, I don’t want to lose my boyfriend! Please help. — DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE HIM DEAR DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE HIM: Which is more important to you — to do something that will make you feel more confident about your appearance or hang onto this boyfriend? He may be worried that you will attract too much attention if you change your appearance, or have a hang-up about “relations” with a woman who has implants.

If he were your husband, I might answer differently, but from where I sit, you have to do what’s best for you.

A boyfriend who would prevent you from boosting your self-confidence strikes me as selfish and not much of a “friend” at all.

DEAR ABBY: I’m saddened by the mistresses of today, also known as “side chicks.” These women have no morality or conscience. Yet their status seems to be glorified all over social media.

What advice would you give to my friends who are contemplating joining in this madness as a “hustle” and a way to get child support from married men? — DISGUSTED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DISGUSTED: You are describing entrapment and extortion.

A woman who would do this is lacking ethics, morals and self-respect. That kind of individual isn’t likely to listen to advice from me. I do have some, however, for YOU. End those “friendships” because, on an important level, you have nothing in common with these shameless users. I pity the children, who are nothing more than meal tickets to their mothers.

DEAR ABBY: I am vegan, which makes dining out an adventure. In restaurants, veggies and pasta or a veggie wrap are pretty much a go-to. At family functions (weddings, showers), I bring my own non-dairy milk and butter and try not to call attention to myself. When someone (inevitably) notices, the questions begin, which I don’t mind.

What I DO mind, however, is the hostility I encounter. “What makes you think you’re better than the rest of us?” is the most common comment. I don’t think I am, and I certainly have never implied it.

I need a response that won’t fuel the fire and will hopefully allow me to eat in peace. Thoughts? — VEGAN GIRL IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR VEGAN GIRL: Try this: “I’m sorry you got that impression, because it’s not the way I feel. It’s simply the way I choose to eat.”

Iowa officials consider alcohol ban for state beaches Rock Creek State Park part of possible ban

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A ban on alcohol at all state park beaches, including Rock Creek State Park, is being considered by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources

it announced Tuesday.

The ban would be yearround at all beaches in state parks and state recreation areas throughout Iowa.

The DNR said the ban is being considered because incidents reveal a continued pattern of excessive alcohol consumption at multiple state beaches. Further, the issue has started to compromise the safety of the general public and personnel.

“In the past several years, we have had a number of concerns voiced to us regarding problems associated with alcohol consumption at multiple state park beaches which threaten the safety of both the public and park personnel,” Chief of the Iowa State Parks Bureau Todd Coffelt said.

The proposed ban would apply to the sand or the fenced in area of the beach, the adjacent designated swimming

area and a 200-foot land buffer surrounding the sand or fenced in area. Rental facilities that are within the 200-foot land buffer that have been formally reserved through the DNR will not be subject to the ban.

The DNR is looking for feedback from the public through informal comments on the proposed rule. Any considerations the public has that could be made to reduce

the number of incidents related to alcohol at state park beaches are being requested.

Comments are to be directed to Jessica Manken at 515725-8488 or jessica.manken@ dnr.iowa.gov. The comment period will close at the end of business day Monday.

File Photo Figures released by the Education Department show Iowa ranked first among all states with a graduation rate of 90.5 percent for the 2013-2014 school year.

Data show Iowa has top graduation rates The Associated Press

D

ES MOINES — Iowa and Nebraska have the top high school graduation rates in the country and surpass the national level, according to data released Tuesday by federal education officials.

The figures by the Education Department show Iowa ranked first among all states with a graduation rate of 90.5 percent for the 2013-2014 school year. Nebraska came in second with a graduation rate of 89.7 percent for the same period.

New Jersey and Wisconsin rounded out the third place slot with a graduation rate each of 88.6 percent. New Hampshire and Texas were close behind at 88.1 and 88.3 percent, respectively.

The national high school graduation rate is 82.3 percent, according to the Education Department’s National Center for Education Statistics, which released the latest information.

That’s slightly higher than the national rate of 81.4 percent for the previous school year.

The data also show a narrowing gap between the national graduation rate of white students and those of black and Hispanic students. The national graduation rate for white students is 87.2 percent; it’s 72.5 percent for black students and 76.3 percent for Hispanic students.

Iowa’s graduation rate for those groups is higher; it’s 92.2 percent for white students; 78.6 percent for black students; and 81.7 percent for Hispanic students. In Nebraska, it’s 92.8 per-

cent for white students; 80.9 for black students; and 82.8 percent for Hispanic students.

The education statistics center said the national graduation rate is at its highest level since states adopted a uniform way of calculating their data five years ago.

Their numbers show the graduation rate has gradually increased from 79 percent for the 20102011 school year.

In a statement, Education Secretary Arne Duncan credited “the hard work of teachers, administrators, students and their families” for the gains. Staci Hupp, spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Education, said multiple factors contributed to the state’s ranking, including teacher leadership training and reading proficiency efforts for students in elementary school.

Cardinal girls fall for first time, take second Thirteenth-ranked Carlisle upends Newton in delayed tournament final

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Surviving early foul trouble, Newton High’s Cardinal girls had Class 4A 13-ranked Carlisle right where they wanted the Wildcats Tuesday. The teams were back in the NHS gym after almost a month to decide the championship of 2015 Cardinal Classic Holiday Basketball Tournament.

The Cardinals led the Wildcats 24-10 with a minute remaining in the first quarter. Carlisle trimmed the margin to seven points, 3730, by halftime.

“When we weathered the storm foulwise and shot the ball so well in the first quarter, I thought we’d be OK,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said. “Coach (Bryan) White did his magic like he usually does and got his

kids playing extremely hard. We didn’t respond to their pressure in the second half, allowing it to affect us tonight.”

The effect was a Wildcat victory, 7058, and the Cardinals losing for the first time this season.

Newton has gotten off to its best start, 5-1, in more than seven years. It is the best start under Sharp.

In November, the first round of the NHS tournament was postponed a day because of a winter storm.

Newton and Carlisle won first-round games to advance to the title contest, which was rescheduled for Tuesday.

Senior post player Jessica Reynolds scored the first two baskets of the game for Newton. The Cardinals trailed 6-4 when senior guard Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Sydney Jenkins drilled a steal is Newton High senior guard Taylor Moon, right, as she takes the ball away from Carlisle’s Amber Kettering a 3-pointer, which was Making (5) in the first half of Tuesday’s contest at Newton. Newton’s Cardinals led throughout the first half, but Class 4A 13thCARDINALS | 6B

ranked Carlisle grabbed the lead in the third quarter. The Wildcats handed the Cardinals their first loss of the season, 70-58 in the conclusion of November’s Cardinal Classic Holiday Basketball Tournament, which was postponed by winter weather.

Newton wins LHC dual against Pella

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Ross Hull has an opponent on his back in a home match earlier this season. Hull was one of five Cardinal wrestlers to go 2-0 in double dual action at Pella Tuesday. The Cardinals beat host Pella and lost to Carlisle.

PELLA — Newton High’s Cardinals steamrolled Pella’s Little Dutch in a Little Hawkeye Conference wrestling dual Tuesday. The Cardinals won 11 of 14 matches — only two by forfeits — to claim a 64-15 victory on Pella’s home mat.

The Cardinals led 30-24 against Carlisle in a non-conference dual, but lost the final four matches to the Wildcats. Carlisle defeated Newton, 42-30, to give the Cardinals a 3-1 dual mark for the season.

“Before the meet, we talked about trying to control the only things we can control — our attitude and our effort,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said.

Tigerhawk grapplers win two in SICL, rally to beat WCV

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Garrett Chapman knew it was coming. This time the Tigerhawk senior was ready.

The last time he faced West Central Valley heavyweight Tristan Lloyd, Chapman was thrown and pinned in the first minute of the match.

Tuesday, Lloyd went for the same move early but had no luck. Chapman worked all week in practice preparing for the hip toss, and the preparation and hard work in the wrestling room paid off as Chapman fought off a few early bear hugs from Lloyd and turned the script with a second-period pin.

That win for Chapman helped the Ti-

gerhawks rally from a 30-point deficit to beat the Wildcats during a home pentangular.

Colfax-Mingo scored two South Iowa Cedar League wins with a 3728 victory over BGM and 59-17 triumph over Belle Plaine.

The Tigerhawks trailed West Central Valley 30-6 and 36-12 but fought back to claim a 43-36 victory.

In between the three wins was a 45-30 loss to Moravia.

“To go out there and get three wins is awesome,” Colfax-Mingo coach Erin Hume said.

“They step up, they fight, and the kids get better every meet. They showed some guts tonight.”

Chapman went 4-0 on the night.

An error on the Colfax-Mingo roster for the game had uniform numbers turned around between Rhone and Delaney Underwood.

Giants agree to 6-year contract with Cueto SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Even after signing Jeff Samardzija to a large, long-term contract last week, the San Francisco Giants had their eye on Johnny Cueto — they’ve been watching and admiring him from afar for years.

The Giants’ upgraded rotation sure is taking shape, with the 2014 World Series champions agreeing Monday with Cueto on a $130 million, six-year contract to add another top-tier starter.

“Johnny has always been, and rightly so, very high on our list,” Giants general manager Bobby Evans said. “He’s somebody we’ve admired for a long time.”

Cueto is set to join a rotation led by left-hander Madison Bumgarner and new addition righty Jeff Samardzija, who was introduced Friday after formalizing his $90 million, five-year contract — one week after the team lost out to the Diamondbacks on Zack Greinke.

Cueto turned down a $120 million, six-year contract from Arizona.

The Giants began talks with Cueto’s representatives during last week’s winter meetings.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Brady Stover, right, scored 17 points against South Hamilton on Tuesday during a Heart of Iowa Conference road game. His final two points came at the buzzer, and it led the Raiders to a 59-57 win.

JEWELL — Trailing by as many as nine in the third quarter, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s boys basketball team rallied for its first win of the season Tuesday night.

Senior Brady Stover converted a bucket at the buzzer to complete the comeback, and the Raiders defeated South Hamilton, 59-57, in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

The Raiders were playing without starting point guard Hunter McWhirter, who missed the game due to an illness.

CMB still led 18-15 after one quarter. South Hamilton rallied to take a three-point lead at halftime and the advantage grew to 47-40 after three quarters.

In the fourth, the Raiders got within three a few minutes into the frame and it was tight until the final buzzer.

Senior Hunter Gunderson closed the CMB gap to 52-50 with bucket inside the lane with 3:53 to play and then tied it with another basket 40 seconds later.

Freshman Will Clapper gave the Raiders the lead with two free throws, and then junior Creighton Caple drilled a 3-pointer to give CMB a two-point lead with 2:15 to play.

South Hamilton tied it up following a pair of free throws from Con-

ner Hill with 50 seconds remaining.

It stayed tied until Stover knocked down the winning shot from five feet away. The win ended a five-game losing streak for the Raiders, who had lost their first five games of the season.

With Hill returning from an injury this year, South Hamilton was picked by some to contend for the HOIC title. The loss drops the Hawks to 2-3 overall and 1-3 in the HOIC. Clapper finished with 22 points and seven rebounds to lead CMB. Stover finished with 17 points. Gunderson added 12 points and four rebounds, and Brady Kemp had two points, four assists and a teamhigh 10 boards.

The Raiders (1-5 overall, 1-4 in HOIC) made 22-of-42 from the floor, while South Hamilton was 23-of-50.

Both teams made three 3-pointers, but CMB was 12-of-18 from the free throw line. The Hawks made 9-of-16.

Hill, a standout junior who is garnering interest from several Division I schools, scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead South Hamilton.

Logan Klemp chipped in 14 points and seven rebounds, and Trey Woodall added 10 points.

North Polk hands PCM girls, boys first conference loss

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe’s girls basketball team was held to single-digit points in the first three quarters Tuesday night, allowing visiting North Polk to build a comfortable lead.

By the time the Mustangs got things going, it was too late.

The Comets led by five at the break, broke the game wide open with a 16-7 third quarter and held on for a 44-36 win over the Mustangs during Heart of Iowa Conference action.

North Polk handed PCM its first conference loss despite scoring only six points in the final quarter. The difference was 3-point shooting. The Comets (5-3 overall, 4-2 in the HOIC) buried six shots from long range, while PCM hit only one.

Kayla Jennings scored 13 points and grabbed four rebounds to lead the Mustangs, who travel to Saydel on Friday.

Katie Vande Wall scored eight of her 10 points in the first half and pulled down six boards in the loss.

Rachel Stafford chipped in six points, six rebounds and three assists. Jayci Vos had three rebounds and three assists and Karina Van Dyke corralled five boards.

North Polk got 10 points from Rachel Zimmerman and nine from Rachel Scott. Scott made three of the Comets’ six 3-pointers.

PCM had 16 turnovers in the game.

North Polk won its fourth straight game after starting the year 1-3.

The Mustangs’ conference battle with Saydel tips off at 6 p.m.

BOYS North Polk 60, PCM 58 Brett Haun scored 34 points and buried the game-winning 3-pointer as time expired for the Comets, who handed the Mustangs their first conference loss of the season.

PCM led 17-6 after one quarter but couldn’t hold on after North Polk outscored the Mustangs 16-8 in the second quarter.

The Mustangs (4-2, 3-1) led 25-22 at halftime and held a 40-39 advantage heading into the final quarter.

North Polk led by four with 56 to play, but Logan Gilman brought PCM within one following a pair of free throws with 26 seconds to go. Gilman scored a team-high 25 for PCM. The Mustangs held a brief lead following a 3-pointer by Sheldon Speers, but Haun spoiled a Mustangs’ home game with a trey of his own as the horn sounded.

The Comets improved to 4-2 overall and are 4-1 in HOIC play.

The Mustangs can get back on track with a win at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Saydel.

Minnesota Vikings still missing three defensive starters EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.

(AP) — The Minnesota Vikings could be without three key defensive starters again Sunday as they try to keep their playoff position.

Returning to practice following last Thursday’s game, linebacker Anthony Barr, de-

fensive tackle Linval Joseph and safety Harrison Smith were held out on Tuesday.

The Vikings host Chicago on Sunday, one game behind Green Bay in the NFC North but with an outside chance at clinching a playoff spot with a victory.

Safety Andrew Sendejo (knee) and linebacker Brandon Watts (rib) returned to practice. Minnesota was without backup defensive end Scott Crichton, who ran on the side during Tuesday’s practice.

Barr, Joseph, Sendejo, Smith and Watts missed last

week’s 23-20 loss at Arizona.

Joseph (foot) has missed the past two games.

Defensive tackle Tom Johnson has helped fill in for Joseph, while rookie Edmond Robinson received his most extensive playing time on defense.

Fifth-ranked ISU loses Mitrou-Long for season

Troy Hyde/Daily News West Central Valley’s Alan Wallace, bottom, can’t fight off Colfax-Mingo’s Colton Lourens as Lourens scored a first-period pin during the final dual of a pentangular in Colfax on Tuesday. Lourens went 4-0 on the night with two forfeits, a pin and a technical fall.

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B He won his first bout by technical fall, received a forfeit against Moravia and pinned Belle Plaine’s Dillon Van Nevel in the first period.

The win over Lloyd was his biggest of the night. It gave the Tigerhawks a chance to rally.

“This is the best day I have had all season. I wasn’t wrestling very well during the first part of the season at all,” Chapman said. “He hip tossed me in the first minute, and I couldn’t do anything against it the first time we faced each other. I really worked on sinking my hips in practice, and I tried to stay lower than he did tonight so he couldn’t do anything with that.”

Joining Chapman at 4-0 on the night were sophomore Colton Lourens and freshman Cauy Furgison (106).

Lourens got two wins by forfeit at 182. He also pinned West Central Valley’s Alan Wallace at 195 and stuck Belle Plaine’s Tyler Arens at 182.

Furgison won both of his contested matches by fall. He is 16-1 on the season and every contested match he has had has ended with a pin.

“He has great mat sense,” Hume said of Furgison. “He has the potential to do some great things. His one loss was a fluke. He already avenged that loss and could be undefeated.”

BGM gave the Tigerhawks three wins by forfeit in the opener. There were two double forfeits, and BGM’s Colton Massengale took a forfeit at 195.

The Tigerhawks went 3-5 in contested matches. Those wins came from Chapman at 285, Ty Carlson at 126 and Jordan Lescaleet at 138.

Hume is not going to apologize for winning a dual because of forfeits. The Tigerhawks have been on the other side of that equation in the past. It’s just part of the sport.

“It’s not our fault we have more guys. It’s the nature of the beast,” Hume said. “We have been on the other side where we have won more matches but lost the dual because we had less guys. Give credit to our guys for coming out, sticking it out and working hard in practice.”

The Tigerhawks (6-12 overall and 3-1 in SICL action) received seven forfeits from Belle Plaine. There was once again a double forfeit at 113, and the contested matches ended in a 3-3 tie.

The three contested wins for Colfax-Mingo came from Lourens (technical fall), Chapman (pin) and Furgison (pin).

One of the losses for the Tigerhawks came at 170 against Class 1A No. 1 ranked Joey Schwenn.

Moravia was short-handed, but the wrestlers it had were very good. That includes third-

ranked Briar Cochran at 132 pounds.

Moravia gave up three forfeits but recorded six first-period pins. The contested wins for C-M came by pins from Carlson, a senior, and Furgison, a freshman.

“We don’t have the talent on the team or the ranked guys that some other teams have,” Hume said. “We have good wrestlers, but we need to be tough in order for us to be in matches. We need to stick to the basics. We can’t just roll over when we get taken down.”

The Tigerhawks bounced back in the finale against a Wildcat team which defeated them 42-30 earlier this season.

Montana Jarrett took a forfeit at 126 to open the dual.

West Central Valley grabbed momentum with five straight pins. Marshall Maple took a forfeit at 170, but another pin by the Wildcats at 182 gave the visitors a 36-12 advantage.

That’s when the Tigerhawks began their rally. Lourens picked up his fourth win of the night with a first-period pin, freshman Nick Barnes closed the gap even more with a second straight first-period pin and then Chapman effectively clinched the win for his team when he stuck Lloyd to the mat after 2 minutes, 26 seconds.

Chapman’s win cut the deficit to 36-30 and forfeit wins by Furgison, and Carlson slid the Tigerhawks past the Wildcats for the win.

“I was really excited. That was a huge win for me,” Chapman said. “I had been thinking about that all day today, trying to figure out what I was going to do with it.”

Hume was happy to see his senior heavyweight learn from past experiences.

“We knew this would be a good confidence boost if he could get the win over him tonight,” Hume said. “All week in practice we just told everyone who wrestled him to try to throw him. We wanted him to be in that mindset.”

AMES (AP) — Iowa State’s national title hopes took a big hit Tuesday as the Cyclones said starting guard Naz Mitrou-Long would miss the rest of his senior season because of his ailing hips.

The fifth-ranked Cyclones said Tuesday that Mitrou-Long’s surgically repaired hips haven’t responded the way he would like. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left hip in April and on his right hip in May after playing through pain in 2014-15.

Mitrou-Long says he will seek a medical redshirt after playing eight games and averaging 12 points.

Mitrou-Long missed Sunday’s win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, but apparently the rest didn’t help his discomfort.

“Following the surgery, I pushed myself incredibly hard to be ready for the season opener,” he said. “As I’ve said before, I knew I might not be 100 percent, but I wanted to give it a go for my team. I feel the need to take time off to allow myself to rehab... to get back to where I can perform at my peak level,” Mitrou-Long’s absence will put added pressure on Iowa State’s top six players and transfer Deonte Burton, who will be eligible for Saturday’s game against Northern Iowa.

The Cyclones (9-0) will miss Mitrou-Long’s clutch

3-point shooting. Long made 77 3s last season despite persistent discomfort.

In 2013-14, Long went 7 from 10 beyond the arc to help Iowa State win the Big 12 tournament, and he hit three 3s in the final 5:10 to help the Cyclones reach the Sweet Sixteen.

At 6-foot-4 and roughly 250 pounds, Burton is more of a transition forward than Long, a traditional shooting guard.

The challenge of replacing Mitrou-Long’s production might fall more on junior Matt Thomas, who has scored 35 points the last two games.

“Naz is a terrific person and an important part of our team both on and off the court. I’m confident his teammates will come together and respond to this in a positive manner,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.

Should Mitrou-Long be awarded a medical redshirt, Iowa State’s prospects for next year suddenly look a lot better.

The Cyclones will lose stars Georges Niang and Jameel McKay and forward Abdel Nader, and standout point guard Monte Morris could jump to the NBA. But if a healthy Long joins Thomas, Burton, guard Hallice Cooke and an expected infusion of junior college talent, Iowa State could challenge for another strong Big 12 finish.

ISU promotes Tom Manning to offensive coordinator AMES (AP) — Just 10 years after starting his career as a high school assistant coach, Tom Manning will get a crack at running Big 12 offense.

Cyclones coach Matt Campbell announced Tuesday that Manning, who spent the past four seasons as an assistant under Campbell at Toledo, has been promoted to offensive coordinator.

Manning and Campbell were teammates for a season at Division III powerhouse Mount Union, with Manning earning a pair of all-league honors at left tackle.

Manning later coached

at Jackson High in Massillon, Ohio and at Mount Union for a season before joining Campbell at Toledo.

Manning then came with Campbell as an offensive line coach when he was hired by Iowa State last month.

Manning will also coach Iowa State’s linemen next season. His promotion fills one of the last pieces on Campbell’s new staff. The first-year coach still has yet to hire a defensive coordinator.

Iowa State went 3-9 last season under Paul Rhoads, who was fired in November after seven years in Ames.

As the moon shifts from intellectual Aquarius to emotional Pisces, resist the urge to over-complicate things. If you impose too many rules on the universe, the universe, which doesn’t respond well to being bossed around, will impose too many rules on you. Simplify your life and it will be simpler to manifest what you desire.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 16). Birthday Challenge: Come up with a “power pose” you can strike at any moment to help you feel like the extreme winner you know you can be.

Physicality plays into your success this year. You’ll improve your diet, fitness level and gen-

Cancer and Scorpio adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 14, 19 and 38.

Hawk wrestlers go 1-2 on home mat

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — In a tune-up for Saturday’s Lynnville-Sully duals tournament, Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks wrestled their home opening matches Tuesday.

The Hawks claimed a split of duals against South Iowa Cedar League foe Tri-County/Montezuma and Sigourney, beating TCM 42-30 and losing 53-27 to Sigourney.

The Hawks were up 27-24 on Southeast Warren in non-conference action, but Southeast Warren won two of the final three matches to win 34-33.

Lynnville-Sully is 3-2 in dual meets this season. The Hawks are 3-1 in SICL duals.

Carson Dunsbergen and Sage Zylstra captured wins on the mat in all three duals Tuesday. Dunsbergen at 138 with two pins and a 14-9 decision over Southeast Warren’s Tanner Flesher and Zylstra at 145 on three fall victories.

Caleb Barnett picked up a 6-1 decision over Sigourney’s Mac Conrad in the 195-pound match. Against Southeast Warren, Cayden Johnson (152), Kyle Kramer (170) and Jack Hardin (182) pinned their opponents.

Lynnville-Sully had four wins by forfeit in the TCM dual, two against Sigourney and one against Southeast Warren.

The Hawks host Colfax-Mingo, TCM, North Mahaska, Cardinal, Knoxville, Twin Cedars and Midland in Saturday’s varsity duals tournament. Action begins at 10 a.m. at Lynnville-Sully High School in Sully.

Newton Continued from Page 1B “I feel we did a pretty good job of that. The young wrestlers had a lot of learning experiences, but we are happy with how they came out and fought,” Swedenhjelm said.

Newton had four wrestlers making their varsity debut Tuesday and three — freshmen Reece Caves, Josh Miller and Blake Cockerton — notched their first varsity wins. Cockerton recorded a technical fall, 17-2, over Pella’s Matthew Widmar at 106, which put Newton up 22-0.

At 138 pounds, Caves pinned Pella’s Trent Schippers in 2 minutes, 45 second.

Miller won by fall in 1:03 over David Chaffin at 160 pounds. Both were wins to respond to a victory on the mat by the Little Dutch.

Duncan Lee, Bryce Tish, Cockerton, Hunter Versteegh and Ross Hull went 2-0 on the night.

Lee, who is ranked No. 8 in Class 3A at 195, had a technical fall, 19-3, over Pella’s Stoyn Kirby at 195.

He opened the match with Carlisle with a pin of Jacob Henkelmann in 5:41 in the 220-pound match.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B followed by a three-point play by senior guard Taylor Moon.

Taylor Shipley, a junior, scored to give the Cardinals a 12-6 lead with 4:33 left in the quarter. Carlisle’s leading scorer and rebounder Agatha Beier made her first basket of the game. Beier was held in check much of the first half by the Cardinals.

“Agatha is a very, very good player. She makes them go,” Sharp said of the 5-foot-9inch junior guard. Beier averages 23 points a game and is the only Wildcat player to average in double figure scoring. She scored seven of her team’s first 14 points and had 11 of her game-high 25 by halftime.

Leading 12-8 with their leading scorer and rebounder senior guard Hannah Rhoads on the bench in foul trouble, the Cardinals pushed forward. On a give-and-go play, senior Victoria Jordan took a quick pass from Moon and hit a baseline jumper.

Jordan stole the basketball leading to two free throws by Jenkins. Junior Courtney Jacobsen drained two 3-pointers with a putback basket by junior Ryanne Rausch in between to give Newton a 24-10 lead. The Cardinals went to the second quarter up 26-14.

Carlisle had two baskets to begin the second period.

Rhoads, who returned to the court with two fouls, completed a three-point play at the 4:44 mark for a 29-18 advantage.

The Wildcats trimmed the

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Snatching an offensive rebound in the air is Newton High senior Jessica Reynolds (24) as Carlisle’s Mackenzie Lose, right, looks up at the action in Tuesday game at Newton.

Cardinal lead to five, 30-25, when Jenkins netted a trey and Newton’s defensive pressure created a turnover. Senior Alex Hutchinson made it 3525 and a minute later, she hit two free throws to keep the margin at 10 points.

Just before the halftime buzzer, Carlisle’s Mackenzie Lose triggered in a 3-pointer.

Newton went into the break leading 37-30.

Carlisle closed to within four points, 39-35, in the first four minutes of the third quarter. Rhoads went down hard on a drive to the basket. She sank both free throws to keep her team in front at the 4:02 mark, but then left the game.

“Hannah banged up her knee and couldn’t play the rest of the game. That makes us smaller out there,” Sharp said.

With Rhoads out of the

“The older guys did a great job of coming out and doing what was asked of them. We had to shuffle some weights around a little bit due to some injuries, but the kids focused on what they could control and went out and did a great job,” Swedenhjelm said.

Tish had wins by fall in both 152-pound matches, including the quickest pin of the night — 58 seconds of Carlisle’s Caleb Davis. Cockerton pinned Carlisle’s Dez Hummel in 4:20 at 106.

Versteegh and Hull switched up weights in the two duals winning with pins in all four matches. Versteegh won at 120 against Pella and 126 against Carlisle while Hull claimed the win at 126 with the Little Dutch and 120 with the Wildcats.

Jacob Smith pinned Tyler VanderMolen of Pella in 2:59 of their 220 match and Tristin Langmaid pinned Ben Thomas of Pella 1:20 at 170.

Newton’s Caleb Kite (285) and Aren Sorensen (113) picked up forfeit wins against Pella.

Langmaid lost 3-1 in a sudden victory match against Kaleb McPhee of Carlisle at 160. Blayden Rhone dropped a 5-4 decision at 195 pounds to Carlisle’s Kallen Glawe.

Newton travels to Norwalk Thursday in LHC action. The Cardinal varsity is at the Fort Dodge Invitational Saturday.

game and Jenkins, who is the team’s second-leading scorer, saddled with four fouls just 10 seconds later, the Cardinals were battling to stay in front.

Moon had a three-point play with 2:53 left to give Newton a 44-40 lead.

Baskets by Hailey Brunsen and Beier tied the game.

Moon answered with a basket, which would be Newton’s final lead, 46-44, of the game at the 1:28 mark. Carlisle pushed to the front, 50-46, heading into the fourth quarter.

Rausch connected for a 3-pointer to pull the Cardinals to with four again, 5349, with 5:19 left. Rausch hit one of two free throws at the midway mark to keep Newton within striking distance, 57-51. Carlisle went 5-of-6 a the free-throw line and Beier added a basket to extend its lead to 64-51.

Jenkins fired in a trey at the 1:39 mark to make it a 10-point game. Newton couldn’t get the defensive stops down the stretch to get any closer.

“Offensively, we slowed down a lot and couldn’t get the shots we wanted. Defensively, we had a hard time guarding the ball with Agatha (Beier) controlling things for them out there,” Sharp said.

Sharp pointed to the play of Reynolds, who finished with five points and, unofficially, 10 rebounds. He said Reynolds was not pleased with the way she played against Marshalltown.

“She was more aggressive at both ends of the court.

Overall, we had kids step up, and we’ll learn from this and get ready for our next test,

which is Friday when Dallas Center-Grimes comes here,” Sharp said.

Moon led the Cardinals with 12 points followed by Jenkins with 11 points. Newton was 16-of-21 from the free-throw line.

Carlisle had three players scoring in double figures.

Besides Beier, Lose ended up with 16 points and Ceora LaClaire had 12. The Wildcats cashed in on 15-of-23 foul shots.

Sharp’s biggest disappointment was the environment the teams played in Tuesday.

He said it was coming from both sides’ fans.

“We love playing at home, but tonight this was a very negative environment. Our players and myself allowed it to affect us, and we can’t allow that to happen,” Sharp said. “We have to stay focused on what we need to do on the court.”

Newton takes a 1-0 Little Hawkeye Conference mark into Friday’s home conference game against Class 4A eighthranked Dallas Center-Grimes.

The Cardinals wrap up the 2015 portion of the season at home Tuesday against 4A topranked Ballard.
