Car runs into house after collision with truck By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Cardinal Cab Company car ran into a D&D Program house after colliding with a truck at 403 E. Fourth St. N. Wednesday. The car was traveling east on North Fourth Avenue East when it went through the intersection hitting the back right bumper of the truck, which was traveling south on East Fourth Street North, Officer Brian Foster said. The car continued
through the intersection, driving through the yard before hitting the house, which is set for demolition through the cities D&D Program. The truck was turned facing north after the collision. There were no injuries reported from the accident and investigations are still ongoing. Currently, no charges have been filed. Contact Jamee A.

Hello, auditions! File Photo Members of the Wellness Coalition along with members of the community worked out during a basketball game at last years Kick Off event. The Kick Off event is scheduled for Jan. 30 basketball game this year.
Wellness Coalition plans upcoming event By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Discussions continued about upcoming events including the 2015 Kick Off at the Newton High School, the Wellness Leaders Workshop and Newton Talks at the Newton Wellness Coalition meeting Wednesday. A task force was also formed to address the work needed to be done for the Kick Off. “We have quite a few activities in the works right now,” said Sheri Bensen, coalition member. The group decided to keep
the date of Jan. 30 for the High School Kick Off at the girls and boys basketball games. It is legacy night at the game and the group hopes it will draw a large crowd to help promote wellness in the community. The group planned a similar event last year and will once again plan to do an exercise routine, hopefully in between games potentially with a fun theme to coordinate with the student cheering section. It will also have community members exercising during both games, with tallies kept of how many calories the
people have burned or how far they have “traveled” while running or riding. The Wellness Leaders Workshop is set for March 6 at DMACC and work is being done to recruit local businesses and the wellness leaders that are in charge of wellness programs at the business to the workshop. The group expanded its reach to include restaurants and fitness centers, as businesses that employee a larger workforce. An event that the group has WELLNESS | 3A

Capitol Issues: Kelley to again push renewable energy, drug enforcement in 2015 Legislative session The following is the first in a three part series of discussions over topics effecting Jasper County and Iowa citizens ahead of the 2015 Iowa Legislative Session. Today’s edition features excerpts from an interview between Reporter Mike Mendenhall and Iowa State House District 29 Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton). In the Dec. 26 edition see an interview with Iowa Senate District 15 Sentaor-elect Chaz Allen (DNewton) and Jan. 2, District 28 Rep. Greg Heartsill (RMelcher-Dallas). NDN: Tell our readers about your recent trip to Washing-
ton D.C., and how it relates to your activities in the state legislature. Can you speak about the renewable energy initiatives you were working on in Kelley Washington? Kelley: I was on a trip sponsored by the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators. They arranged for me to be a part of a meeting with the White House and representatives from the (Obama) Admin-
istration involved in climate and energy to discuss what is needed in the states concerning support for renewable fuels and renewable energy from the Administration. I also met with Congressman (Dave) Loebsack’s (D-IA) office, the congressman himself and met fellow state legislators from all over the country. I did have talks with those from the Dakotas concerning the (Dakota Access) pipeline as well. NDN: You mentioned before our interview that you had met with some representatives from the electric car company Tesla

way to eliminate these regulations so consumers have the freedom to purchase electric cars if they so choose in the state of Iowa. Currently, you have to go outside of the state — I believe the closest place to go to purchase a Tesla right now is Chicago — and then bring it back to Iowa. I want to put our dealers in a position where they can sell that product, and I want to put the consumer in a position where they can make that choice if they so choose.

Motors, trying to get their models on the road in Iowa. Can you tell us about your conversation with those folks? What do you think it will take to get Tesla and the necessary electronic infrastructure on Iowa roads? Kelley: The east coast and west coast are far more advanced in terms of getting electric cars on the roads, and there are actually some regulations that are holding up that progress in the Midwest — Iowa is certainly included in that. I’ve been meeting and talking with representatives of both Tesla and General Motors to see if we can’t find a

File Photo With family gatherings, parties with friends and Christmas work celebrations, it’s easy to indulge more than usual throughout the holiday season. Eating in moderation, preparing healthier food options and forgiving yourself for indulging are important behavior reminders to keep from gaining any extra pounds and enjoying a guilty free month.
Plan for a healthy holiday season Jenny Thompson RD, LD, CDE Skiff Medical Center Some reports indicate that individuals gain an average of seven pounds over the holiday season. Prevent that from happening to you by following a few of these tips to stave off the holiday pounds: Be diligent about exercise Continue with your regular exercise routine. If you are not a regular exerciser, now is a great time to start. The exercise will help you manage stress and burn off a few of those extra calories you have consumed. It takes 30 minutes of brisk walking for a 150-pound person to burn the calories in a 2-ounce piece of fudge; 60 minutes of aerobic dancing plus 40 minutes of housework
to burn off one slice of pumpkin pie. Think moderation Keep portions small. Avoid the all-or-nothing mindset. Enjoy a taste of your favorite holiday foods. If it does not taste fabulous, do not finish it. Eat slowly Give your stomach and your brain time to feel satisfied. Savor every little bite. Be picky Plan to sample your very favorite foods; special foods you only eat this time of year and let the rest go. Spend your calories wisely. Plan ahead for parties and goodies at work Prepare a fruit salad or a veggie tray for the party or food
day at work. Avoid the area where the food is kept if possible. Chew gum; it will help stop you from putting food in your mouth. Keep your hunger under control; if you are starving you are more likely to indulge. Holiday baking Prepare those traditional holiday items and store outof-sight, freeze or give-away to limit the temptation. Modify your recipe to make it healthier. There are many substitutions that will save on calories, fat and carbohydrates and no one will know the difference! If you do overdo, let it go Get back on track as soon as possible — don’t wait until Jan. 2 — and think positive thoughts.

Wellness Continued from Page 1A planned after the workshop is a series of Newton Talks, where local citizens discuss their fitness journey and the changes or work they have done to accomplish their goals. Final dates have not been set, but organizers will potentially have two dates in the late Spring and two more in the late Fall. Another option is to hold all four in April and May. “Have a conversation between whoever is facilitating it and the people,” said Nathan Unsworth, coalition member. The talks will consist of a group of four people telling their story, having a discussion among themselves and take questions from the crowd. Potential speakers include those who have lost a dramatic amount of weight and kept it off along with people who are disabled and how they maintain their wellness. Contact Jamee A.

I have a bill I’m putting together that will call for a study on the Mississippi River. There are 10 sites along the Mississippi River and the Iowa border which would be suitable for the production of hydroelectric power. If we were to find the power company that is willing to further invest in hydroelectric in the state of Iowa and go forward with some of these potential projects, we could produce 25 percent of Iowa’s energy needs from hydroelectric power. If we were to do that just with wind and hydro, we’d produce 50 percent of our energy needs for electric power. There is great potential, just as we are to the point with wind where we can export that power and bring money back into Iowa, we can get to that point with hydroelectric power. I actually developed an interest and some knowledge in hydroelectric power through meeting members of the Manitoba legislature in Winnipeg. Manitoba is a major exporter of hydroelectric power. They export it to Minnesota, they export power to the Dakotas and that is a major part of their economy. When water flows and we don’t capture that energy, we’re wasting energy and we’re not taking advantage of jobs and we are further damaging our environment and our climate with the current
Continued from Page 1A start your third term in the Iowa House, and you’ve been a supporter of renewable energy since the beginning of your first term. What pieces of legislation do you see coming before the House this term that will benefit green jobs in Iowa? Can you also talk about your push for hydro-electric power? Kelley: As a state legislator, one of the most valuable tools that I have is I can communicate with people in Washington —whether it be within the presidential administration or our congressional delegation. That is the purpose of my trip to Washington last week. I was encouraging support for the renewable fuel standard, as well as the further extension of the wind production tax credit. Renewable energy and renewable fuel jobs provide living wage jobs here in Jasper County, and in an effort to improve the quality of those jobs and the number of those jobs, we must continue policies that are already working. It’s common sense to keep doing what works and that was my message to Washington, Congressman Loebsack, as well as members of the intergovernmental body that works to communication between state legislators and the White House.
method that produces greenhouse gas emissions. NDN: The largest portion of the Iowa segment of the Dakota Access Pipeline is coming through Jasper County — 33.73 miles. Can you tell me how you feel about some of the tax incentives Jasper County could see such as property tax revenue? Does that alleviate some of your concerns about the pipeline? Kelley: My concern with the Dakota Access Pipeline is that Jasper County homeowners, landowners and farmers who have been approached by Dakota Access — in terms of running the pipeline through their area — is that they are treated fairly and that they have proper legal representation before entering any contract. I’m very clearly on the side of renewable energy jobs. I’m concerned that when oil from the Dakotas is moved through Iowa to Texas to a refinery then shipped to the gulf coast for Asian export, Iowans will not see a reduction in gas prices. This won’t help Jasper County families’ pocket books. But it will put our clean energy jobs at stake. I understand that the pipeline comes at a very high price. We need to look for permanent solutions in Jasper County, in terms of our economy and funding of our local governments. We will do that through pursuing the perma-

nent and quality jobs that will come from renewable energy. Projects like the Dakota Access pipeline puts those jobs in jeopardy. That is cause for concern. NDN: What is your stance on allowable growth for education? Do you support giving schools a 2-year notice of allowable growth, and how do you feel the legislature has handled this in recent history? Kelley: I support following the law, and the law states the legislature is supposed to set allowable growth within the first 30 days of convening our session. Every year I’ve been in the legislature I’ve voted consistently to require the majority party to bring allowable growth up for a vote within those 30 days. Each year I’ve been in the legislature they have refused. That is frustrating. It’s more frustrating for local school boards, local administrators, teachers, students and families than it is for me. It’s their education that’s on the line, and it’s very disappointing that the majority party doesn’t put them first. NDN: You’ve taken a tougher stance than some in your party on the legalization of marijuana. Can you tell me why you oppose full legalization of recreational marijuana when many other states have been taking that route? Do you think potential sales tax or any tax revenue from that product

could benefit Iowa? Kelley: I think there are high prices to pay for legalization. I don’t support illegal drugs. There are no drugs I’d like to see become legal. I think the state of Iowa needs to focus on sparking our economy through support for agriculture, support for renewable energy and seeking employers from the coasts and other parts of the Midwest who may want to locate their jobs here where we have a quality work ethic and quality workers. I believe that efforts to legalize illegal drugs are misplaced efforts. NDN: What about the medical use of marijuana? Can you explain your stance on that, and do you see any possible use for cannabis oil? Kelley: The bill that came before the legislature last session is incredibly flawed. It does not accomplish its goal, and there are many of my fellow legislators who have come to me and told me that I made the right choice on the last night of the session when I chose to vote against the bill. The bill (required) a study from the University of Iowa that would determine whether cannabis oil actually helps medically or not. That study did not happen and it’s highly unlikely to happen because our bill violated federal drug policy. It was the right vote, and I’m proud to have taken it.

It’s the time of year to be with the ones you love
By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

My good buddy Mikey always has something up his sleeve. When invited over for cocktails or an intimate gathering, he always walks up my apartment steps with an assortment of party favors. Last weekend, his plastic Hy-Vee bags carried a corked bottle of 1759 Geniuses Limited Edition Amber Ale and the tongue-in-cheek game of Cards Against Humanity. Mike always knows how to set us up for a night of hilarity — albeit a bit politically incorrect. From his sack of tricks, Mikey also pulled a Christmas gift wrapped in non-glossy, cardboard brown and red holiday paper with a little tag which red “To: Mike From: Mike.” “I didn’t think you had enough nerd gear in your apartment, so I saw this and
knew you had to have it,” Mike said as I opened the package. Inside I could feel The Force flowing through me as I found a LEGO Darth Vader alarm clock. It could stand or sit and with its claw-like LEGO figurine hands, the clock was fully capable of holding a lightsaber. “And when you bonk his head, that’s snooze,” Mike said. The clock fit nicely within the realm of classic Mikey gifts from years past. For my birthday three years ago, as I moved to Jasper County for the first time, Mike gifted me a statuette of the Travelocity Gnome. With its pointy red hat and proper manners — hands held behind his back — the gnome stills stands guard in the planter outside my apartment door as he has at my last two residences. Mike is a brilliant network engineer — successful but never
one to tout his meteoric rise in the Des Moines tech market in any way other than with pure joy and excitement for his trade. He gives without thought of return. He’s given me a custom beer glass and spotted me an apartment deposit when a beater car ate the last of my savings. It’s hard to find a better human being than Mike Williams. With each passing year, I find my circle of close friends thinning. This isn’t through argument, malice or conscious choice but an organic process. As life grows more complex, I find my correlating circle of friends seems to become more concise yet harder to break. As we approach our 30s and family dynamics change, I’ve enjoyed incorporating my friends more as family into my holiday celebrations. This week, I’ll get the Christmas treat of listening to a life-long
friend sing in a Broadway style production of “Two from Galilee,” at the New Hope Assembly of God in Urbandale. Since we first met on the hotchscotch carpet in Mrs. McCormick’s kindergarten classroom, I’ve wanted to see Seth perform. But when you’re a kid, family obligations tend to take precedent and it’s hard for a 5-year-old to pedal his bike across the city in December. As I prep for the future, incorporating my girlfriend’s family holiday traditions into my own, I believe it’s important to keep those non-familial Christmas ties sound and strong. One of the key tenets of Christmas is the perseverance made possible by the bonds of family whether related by blood, spirit or friendship. Contact Mike Mendenhall at mmendenhall@newtondailynews.com
Empty Nest
‘Redeployment’ by Phil Klay
Another View
JCCA brings in high quality performances By Gabriel Swersie It is during this time of year we gets a bit more nostalgic than other times. We search out the things of our youth. Claymation Rudolphs and Heatmeisers once again become vogue. It is not at any other time of the year that we visit the Whos down in Whoville or even wish to get the season right like Linus does with the Peanuts gang. One might say our hearts grow three sizes at the holidays. The nostalgia for bygone things surfaced in a big way on Friday night at Newton Senior High School with the Jasper County Concert Association’s presentation of Two on Tap. To really simplify the concert for those who were not there, it is a Christmas variety show.
What it brings to my mind are the variety shows I grew up with in the seventies when one could see the pop star du jour singing the old standards. Some of the shows I watched were reruns like the Sonny and Cher show. Every Christmas variety show was an attempt to pay homage to the great performances of Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Dean and Jerry, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland. This is most definitely a tribute to those Golden Age actors. Through the mediums of song and tap dance, Two on Tap sought to honor their heroes and help the Newton audience to reminisce their youth. The audience responded. Most of the audience seemed absolutely thrilled with talent and song selection. I was impressed by
the obvious dedication of the performers and I thought they and the whole show, were really sweet. Two on Tap are actually three, starring singer/dancers Melissa Giattino and Ron DeStefano and featuring Jeffrey Biering on piano. All three are fantastically talented professionals. The show was well choreographed and well done. They are each high quality performers with extensive pedigrees. Honestly, I love that JCCA gets to bring in acts like this, these are performers one may have seen in a Broadway show. The Jasper County Concert Association will present their next concert on Feb. 23. Tickets are always available at Mattingly’s Music and Books and at the performance.

I can’t recall ever reading a book of short stories where the first-person narrator is a different person in each s t o r y. Y e p , P h i l K l a y did it. Ty p i c a l l y, you’ll see the By Curt Swarm s a m e Guest Columnist person resurfacing throughout a collection, and you look for it, or at least I do. It takes an unbelievable amount of talent to switch perspective 13 different times, but in “Redployment,” Phil Klay does just that. For his talent and gut-gripping tales, he received the National Book Award. It’s his first book. Not your typical blood-and-guts Iraq/ Afghanistan war stories, this book has some real literary meat to it. The stories carry the book, the occasional dropyour-socks prose is a side benefit. In the first story, “Redeployment,” for which the book is named, the narrator is a Marine enlisted man returning home after his first tour of duty. “We took my combat pay and did a lot of shopping. Which is how America fights back against the terrorists.” In “FRAGO,” the narrator is an active duty sergeant in Iraq. By the way, “FRAGO” stands for “Fragmentary Order,” which Klay doesn’t define, nor does he define any of the many military acronyms he uses. I had to Google them. But telling a story in undefined acronyms sort of lends itself to the whole feeling of the book in a military/war sort of way. In “After Action Report,” the narrator is Lance Corporal Suba. Suba is asked to take credit for a “kill” when the soldier who did the shooting can’t own up to it, because the “hajji”
was a teenager. Suba talks to the chaplain (“Chaps”), who becomes the narrator in a later story. In “Bodies,” the narrator is a Mortuary Affair Marine, i.e. a soldier who cleans up bodies after they’re dead. In “Money as a Weapons System,” the narrator is a Foreign Service Officer. “In Vietnam they had Whores,” the narrator is a sniper, viewing eyes from a thousand meters. In “Psychological Operations,” the narrator is Coptic and an Iraq veteran attending NYU. “There’s a perversity in me, that when I talk to conservatives, makes me want to bash the war and, when I talk to liberals, defend it.” In “Unless it’s a Sucking Chest Wound,” the narrator is a Marine officer veteran in law school. “...a tick would try to feed off any liquid at the temperature of mammalian blood,” and “You don’t want to be the guy bailing water out of a sinking ship,” and “I don’t have PTSD, but I guess her thinking that I did is part of the weird pedestal vets are on now.” “In Ten KLIKS South,” the narrator is a Marine Artilleryman. A “klik” is a thousand meters (I had to look it up). Check this out for an opening paragraph: “This morning our gun dropped about 270 pounds of ICM on a smuggler’s checkpoint ten kliks south of us. We took out a group of insurgents and then we went to the Fallujah chow hall for lunch. I got fish and lima beans. I try to eat healthy.” Through characterization, language, and point-of-view, Phil Klay has written a poignant, gut wrenching set of stories that tell it like it is. I hope he has more stories in him in the future. Contact Curt Swarm at 319-217-0526, email him at curtswarm@yahoo.com

Open adoption could help grandmother stay in touch DEAR ABBY: I am writing this in response to “Un-Grandparent in Ohio” (Aug. 25), whose pregnant teenage daughter has decided to place her baby for adoption. My daughter and son-in-law adopted their newborn daughter in an open adoption. Each summer the adoption agency sponsors a picnic that is attended by birth and adoptive parents, grandparents and other family members -- and, of course, the adopted child. During the rest of the year, our daughter sends the birth mother photos and letters, going through the same agency. I can only imagine the sadness Un-Grandparent is feeling. I hope her daughter has chosen an adoption agency like this one so she will be able to share in her grandchild’s life. -- GRATEFUL ADOPTIVE GRANDMOTHER DEAR GRATEFUL: I welcomed feedback from readers about that letter and, as always, they provided UnGrandparent with thoughtful advice. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I am a grandmother and an attorney. I have done a lot of guardianship work over the years and would like the grandmother to know that in many cases similar to hers, it is the grandmother who adopts the baby. This is often the best solution for everyone -- especially the baby. Most states favor adoptions by family members. It could be a wonderful ending/beginning for all concerned if that could happen in this case. -GRANDMA CLAIRE DEAR ABBY: I went through this with my daughter, who was not in a mental or financial position to keep the child. I was in the delivery room for the birth of all my grandchildren, but in order to distance myself from this child, I allowed the adoptive mom to go into the delivery instead, because it was important for her to bond with the baby. It
was easier, in a sense, to distance myself from this child because of my daughter’s circumstances. I think about my grandson all the time, and I get pictures from the adoptive family. When the time is right, he will meet his biological family. My hope is that Un-Grandparent can trust the adoptive parents to be the right ones and that they will do the right thing for the child. -- CHRISTINE ON THE WEST COAST DEAR ABBY: I was neither willing nor emotionally able to raise my 13-year-old daughter’s child. There was an open adoption, with a family that had five children of their own, but neither my daughter nor I took the opportunity to get to know this child or his new family. My parents (the baby’s greatgrandparents) made the effort to keep in touch and were welcomed with open arms. My parents brought ALL the children Christmas gifts, and my mother wrote to them often, visiting when they had a chance. So, if this is an open adoption, there is still the possibility for you to have as much contact as everyone is comfortable with. There is no such thing as too much love! -- KATHRYN IN TEXAS

Beam is accused of pulling out a handgun and firing several shots.

Effort to draft Warren into Iowa man gets 10 years ‘16 race lands in Iowa in child death case The Associated Press
DES MOINES — Liberal activists eager to draft Sen. Elizabeth Wa r r e n into a run for president are bringing their effort to Iowa, the pivotal earlyvoting state where there’s already well-established organizing effort in place — for Hillary Rodham Clinton. MoveOn.org will hold a meeting Wednesday evening in Des Moines as part of their new “Run Warren Run” campaign. The group is trying to persuade Warren to seek the Democratic nomination in 2016, even though the Massachusetts senator has repeatedly said she is not running. “The response that we’re hearing from Iowans in the first few
days of this effort, it’s clear people are hungry for Elizabeth Warren to get in the race,” said Victoria Kaplan, an organizer for MoveOn. Kaplan said Wednesday’s event is their first organizing meeting, and there will be a similar event in New Hampshire in January. The campaign is seeking staffers in both states and trying to build volunteer and donor support. Another grassroots group, Ready for Warren, has made a number of visits to Iowa since the summer, trying to rally support for the senator. Yet such work has been underway on Clinton’s behalf for much longer, even though the former first lady, senator and U.S. secretary of State has not yet definitively said she will run for the White House. The group Ready for Hillary, which has no formal ties to Clinton, held its first Iowa meeting in January. Midwest regional organizing di-
rector Derek Eadon, one of the group’s two Iowa-based staffers, said the group has appeared at party functions across the state, held house parties and recruited volunteers for months. Eadon declined to comment on the MoveOn effort, but said he is confident Clinton has the infrastructure in place to succeed in Iowa, where she placed third in the 2008 caucuses. “Having staff on the ground, having local organizers that are trained ... that’s going to be an advantage, because otherwise she’d be starting from scratch,” Eadon said. Warren is a favorite of many liberal Democrats, and enthusiastic crowds greeted Warren in Iowa in October when she tried to pump up Democrats for Bruce Braley’s lagging Senate campaign in Des Moines and Iowa City with vigorous speeches that focused on income inequality and the need for economic reforms.
Iowa City creates temporary homeless shelter The Associated Press IOWA CITY — The Iowa City Council has approved funding for a temporary homeless shelter in a former grocery store to keep people from freezing during the winter. Council members unanimously voted Tuesday to spend up to $20,000 on the project that will be housed in a former Aldi’s building. The short-term housing solution will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. every day in January and
February, said executive director Crissy Canganelli of Shelter House, a homeless organization. The temporary shelter, which won’t offer support services, will be open to people who are turned away from other shelters for reasons such as intoxication. “This is the right thing to do, period,” Mayor Matt Hayek said. “On the issue of a more permanent solution, if that’s in the works, I am sympathetic to the location issues, and it’s something that bears
discussion. But time is of the essence and the temperature today is an indication of that.” Last year, the Iowa City police station and part of the City Hall lobby were used to house people during cold nights. Council members said that wasn’t ideal. “I am very supportive of this proposal. Originally, I was very concerned about security and there were similar concerns last winter, but this is not hard to vote for,” said council member Rick Dobyns.
The Associated Press DUBUQUE — An Iowa man has been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison after taking a plea deal in the 2012 death of his ex-girlfriend’s son. Nick Reed, 36, pleaded guilty Tuesday to possession of red phosphorous with intent to manufacture methamphetamine and entered an Alford plea to a child neglect charge. An Alford plea doesn’t admit guilt but acknowledges that prosecutors likely can prove the charges. Charges of manufacturing methamphetamine and possessing marijuana were dropped
under the plea deal. Prosecutors originally charged Reed with firstdegree murder in the death of 2-year-old Bentley Randall, but dropped the charge last year citing a lack of evidence. Reed told authorities that he poured water on Bentley in an effort to try to revive the child, who wouldn’t wake up from a nap. Bentley suffered severe scalding and Reed said he didn’t realize the water was too hot, according to court documents. The toddler was admitted to a hospital, where he died two days later. Assistant Dubuque County Attorney Chris
Corken told the court the decision to present the plea deal wasn’t made lightly. “Our concern has been from the beginning that the defendant be held accountable for what the state can legally prove based on the evidence the state has,” Corken said. She said she knows Bentley’s family doesn’t agree with the decision, but that the state can only act on charges that can be sufficiently proved. “We cannot create evidence that doesn’t exist. We cannot change evidence that does exist,” she said.

CMB inducts seven into Hall of Fame By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — The latest athletic hall of fame inductees at Collins-Maxwell/Baxter range from a female athlete who once scored 51 points in a basketball game to a pair of all-state football standouts who played in the same backfield. It also includes a track coach of 19 years, a pair of outstanding track and field athletes and a standout baseball player who later became an All-American at Grand View University. Their accomplishments go on and on. But one thing they all will now have in common is being a part of a tradition that’s in its third year at CMB. “I got a letter in the mail and it was fairly surprising because I graduated 58 years ago and I didn’t even know that CMB had a hall of fame,” said Marilyn Johnston-Miller, one of the seven who were inducted on Dec. 13. “It was pretty exciting to get the news.” CMB recognized the former standout athletes during halftime of the Raider boys basketball game against Grand View Christian last Saturday. An induction ceremony in the East Gym followed the gamelater that night. Joining Johnston-Miller as 2014 CMB Hall of Fame inductees were Joe Neville, Diana Atwood Oswalt, Mindy Ketchum Waseskuk, Brett Fuller, Joe Langenberg and Danny Samson. Neville coached the CMB girls’ track team for 19 years and is still currently teaching at Collins-Maxwell High School. The Raiders won four conference championships and a district title under Neville’s direction. CMB also won 65 meets and qualified 72 events in the state track meet. “You put in a lot of time and have a lot of memories,” Neville said. “A lot of the kids that I coached in track and field are actually teaching where I teach at now. It’s a neat honor.” Neville coached Ketchum Waseskuk in track and field and was Fuller’s teacher and junior high basketball coach. Being part of the Hall of Fame with student-athletes he was connected to makes the honor even more special. “It’s a pretty big deal. It was cool to be able to catch up with the ones that are back in town,” said Neville, who started teaching at C-M back in the early 1980s. Ketchum Waseskuk participated in volleyball, basketball, softball and track and field for four years. But it was on the oval where the former Raider made her biggest mark. Her best accomplishment may have been being part of the school’s two state championships in the 4x200 relay during her junior and senior seasons. “It’s special to me because my parents were so supportive of me. I am honored to be a part of this,” said Ketchum Waseskuk, who graduated from Collins-Maxwell and currently works for a wine distributor in Cedar Falls. “I think it’s something to be able to look back on, and it gave me
Lindsay’s career-high 24 leads PCM to win By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

The group included (front row, from left): Joe Langenberg and Danny Samson; (back) Brett Fuller, Mindy KetchumWaseskuk, Marilyn Johnston-Miller, Diana Atwood-Oswalt and Joe Neville.

the chance to reflect on what I did back then.” Atwood Oswalt was part of the group that brought home state indoor and outdoor track and field championships for the Collins Clippers back in 1972. Oswalt was an individual state champion in the hurdles but also played guard on the basketball team and led the Clippers in rebounding and steals during her final two high school seasons. “It was fun to go back and re-live the times when I was in high school,” said Oswalt, who currently lives between Collins and Colo. “I never really thought about being in some-
thing like this. We were state champions back in the day so we did well I guess.” Fuller was two years behind Ketchum Waseskuk in high school. He was a multiple sport athlete who earned all-state recognition in both football and baseball. The former Collins-Maxwell standout took his baseball talents to Grand View University, where he earned All-American honors in 2004. “At first I thought, when you get to a Hall of Fame, it must mean that I am old,” said Fuller, who is married with two children and a fifth grade teacher at BondurantFarrar. “But I was honored to
get the news and it makes you really appreciate the coaches and the relationships that you built. We take it for granted at a young age but I realize now that it was a special time.” The honors meant a lot to Langenberg and Samson, who are the youngest athletes in the group. They both played on the same CMB teams for three years. Langenberg graduated from Baxter High School in 2008, and still holds the school’s career record for rushing yards, rushing TDs and scoring for the CMB football team. He also participated in the state wrestling tournament and advanced to state in the long jump during his track and field career. “It’s an honor be inducted with him. We both share the same similarities,” said Langenberg, who moved to Denver, Colo., with his girlfriend a few months ago. “I have been friends with Danny since the third grade. It’s sweet that we get to share this with each other.” Langenberg went on to play football at Central College and then gave the sport another shot at Coe College after suffering from a back injury during his only season for the Dutch. Samson currently works on his father’s farm and resides in Ankeny with his girlfriend, Amanda Aukes, who graduated from CMB with Samson in 2009. The former Raider QB was a first-team all-state football selection after throwing for more than 1,000 yards and rushing for more than 1,000 yards during his senior season.

@newtondnews
Wednesday that the Big Four Classic will be held in Iowa’s capital of Des Moines for two more years. The Big Four Classic replaced the home-and-home series that Iowa and Iowa State had with their Missouri
Valley Conference counterparts in 2012. This year’s doubleheader, which will feature No. 13 Iowa State against Drake and Northern Iowa against the Hawkeyes, is set for Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena.
This year’s event is a sellout, with a crowd of just more than 15,000 expected. The Cyclones and Bulldogs will play first at 4 p.m., while the Hawkeyes and Panthers are expected to tip off their game around 6 p.m.

Junior Logan Gilman also had 13 points and four rebounds, and senior Ricky Reeve contributed nine points, seven assists and three steals in the win.

Saydel 58, Colfax-Mingo 39 COLFAX — Colin Laurens had 11 points and 16 rebounds, but that was not enough for the Colfax-Mingo boys’ basketball team to get into the win column Tuesday at home against Saydel. The Tigerhawks tallied 19 points in the second quarter to trim the Eagles’ halftime lead to just one, but Saydel pulled away in the second half to win 58-39, The Eagles outscored Colfax-Mingo 32-14 in the final two quarters. The Tigerhawks were plagued by 20 turnovers. “Our kids are giving good effort,” ColfaxMingo coach John Borts said. “They are trying very hard and sometimes maybe too hard that it is affecting our execution. We have to start reducing our turnovers and start finishing shots around the basket.” It was the first double-double of the season for Lourens, who grabbed seven offensive rebounds and had two HOOPS | 2B

We played together and it’s pretty cool to know that a lot of people were watching us and thought highly of what we did together.” Johnston-Miller doesn’t consider herself to be a CMB star athlete, but she scored 46 points in a basketball game during her junior season and bettered that with 51 her senior year. She also hit 22 straight free throws in

As civilized and well mannered as you may be, the fact remains that if you are reading this, you’re probably that soft, warm-blooded, highly adaptable and sharply instinctive animal called “human.” The wild Sagittarius sun and the intense Scorpio moon machinate with unexpectedly emotional results. Chalk it up to human nature.
building your “stick to it” muscles.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 18). Are you ready to be adored? Your January makeover puts stars in someone’s eyes. If friends take paths you don’t understand, your independence will be empowering. In February, buy and sell what’s needed to make a better living. May brings family events and important new connections. Cancer and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 5, 44, 16 and 32.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s been said that just because you own a hammer doesn’t mean you can build a house. However, you’re a lot closer to being able to build one than the person who doesn’t own a hammer. Have faith and get more tools.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Make a resolution for yourself and stick to it. This will be good practice for New Year’s. Even if you stick to it for only a day, you’ll be
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). The older folks will do the “these kids today” talk, and the younger ones will feel annoyed, but not as annoyed as a middle group who realize that the minute they say “these kids today,” they are not among them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people don’t like to feel controlled, and the strong-willed creative types absolutely hate it. Anyone trying to impose a view or a timeline on you will automatically go on your “watch list.” ARIES (March 21-April 19). When plans snag, you might wonder whether your intuition is off. It’s
not. Believe it or not, the snag is for the best. Eventually, all will work out in an unexpected and fortuitous way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t need to measure up to anyone else’s standards, only your own. It will be good luck to listen to the person who is, for some reason, often ignored. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If there’s a better way to make money, you’re likely to notice it today. That person performing a task you find fascinating is doing the thing that you could be doing and being paid well for it, too! Investigate. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those ideas about wrong and right may look good on paper, but they play out in such nuanced and complicated ways that in the end the moral stance doesn’t settle so neatly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Start the conversation. Whether or not things take off, you’ll be glad you took
the initiative, if only for the education of it. Saying interesting things isn’t necessary. The point is just to get the other person talking. It’s about rapport. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In recent days, your heart song has been a hummable, pleasant melody. Today it has operatic force. The affection you feel is a gift, whether or not you choose to do anything about it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People will communicate to you messages that you already knew but maybe weren’t supposed to. Regardless of how good of an actor you are, your kindness will not allow you to deflate anyone’s ego. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re inclined to share freely all that you’ve learned, but first consider where your parents are coming from. Some people aren’t ready for your knowledge, and it will be wasted on them.
