Justin Jagler/Daily News Terra Scott and Brad Jolliffe recount their last three months, following Jolliffe’s fall from a ladder while painting in September.

Home for Christmas

Newton man who fell from ladder, suffered severe injury returns from Nebraska facility

t started out as normal September day for Brad Jolliffe and Terra Scott as they worked together to paint at the new Lauterbach Buick GMC building, but the day quickly turned into a frightening ordeal.

The couple own and operate a painting company, Color Creations, and were close to completion on Sept. 15 at the new facility at 2900 First Avenue E. in Newton. When Scott went to their work truck to return a missed call, Jolliffe climbed up a 25-foot ladder to continue painting. When Scott returned a couple minutes later, Jolliffe was no longer on the ladder.

“I thought he went to the bathroom,” Scott said. “As I came fully around, I saw him on the ground.

At first, I said, ‘This isn’t funny Bradley. Get up off the ground.’”

It was not a joke.

Jolliffe fell to the concrete and fractured his skull. He suffered two brain contusions, seven broken ribs, a partially collapsed lung, a sinus fracture and knocked-out teeth.

After spending 70 days at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines and another 19 days at a rehabilitation facility in Lincoln, Neb., Jolliffe will be home for Christmas.

“It feels good (to be back in Newton) because I am grateful to the people in this town,” Jolliffe said.

“There’s big hearts out there. That’s the main thing.”

Doyle and Devoe Realty set up fundraiser buckets at several local businesses. There was also a benefit checking account set up through Great Western Bank. The community rallied behind Jolliffe.

“There were people who did cash donations,” Scott said. “There were a lot of people in town that did prayer chains. They prayed for him at churches.”

He appreciates the donations and prayers that were sent his way throughout the last three months.

Jolliffe is in a much better spot now.

He has no recollection of the accident and does not remember most of the time he spent in the hospital afterwards.

Currently, part of Jolliffe’s brain is protected only by his scalp. A large piece of his skull had to be removed, but it will be replaced by durable plastic soon. He is excited for the surgery to replace the missing bone on his skull, which is scheduled to take place in late January.

With Scott’s support, Jolliffe has made tremendous progress.

He needed to be restrained at the hospital because he was a physical threat to people around him.

“I was restrained, and I was not a happy person,” Jolliffe said. “It’s hard to deal with going through a JOLLIFFE | 3A

The process of digitally recording Jasper County’s historical records is well underway and projected to be complete this month.

Jasper County Recorder Denise Allan gave an update on the process to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday.

“I’m proud to say we are very well prepared for any type of disaster, either created by man or Mother Nature,” Allan said.

When first proposed, the county had an estimated 725,000 images dating back 169 years to be digitalized. During the process, Cott Systems, the digitization company, found there were about 60,000 blank pages and 30 books that were miscounted when first reviewed.

“The end result was 566,754 images were captures with a breakdown of 34,372 index images and 532,382 record book images,” Allan said.

The initial cost for the project came in at $244,515 but with the blank pages and miscounted books, the cost ended at $187,527, with $56,407 returned to the county.

City to launch redesigned A farewell for Stevenson website next year

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A redesigned city website is on the horizon for Newton.

Following discussions about the current state of the web presence Newton has online, the Newton City Council approved a redesigned website to launch next summer.

CivicPlus, a company which also designed the most recent website in 2011, was approved to update the site at a cost of $26,812. The price break down includes $13,817 for general redesign and an addition $12,995 for four additional department header designs and integration. The price also includes maintenance costs for the message system CivicSend.

“After a few years, even the

most dynamic and eye-catching design benefits from a facelift,” interim city administrator Jarrod Wellik said.

“The City of Newton’s website is now in need of a thorough update in order to meet the current standards of navigation and functionality, as well as serve as a community marketing tool.”

The advanced options selected by the city include a new mobile friendly responsive design where users will have an optimal viewing experience and a fully responsive design that will enhance its layout based on the device that is being used.

Former Newton resident publishes religious book

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A former Newton resident released a book this month with the intent of getting readers “Fired with Enthusiasm” from featured anecdotes, Bible verses, humorous illustrations and treats for the palate.

Terry Dodd is a retired advertising consultant, columnist and author of a dozen Christian novels and inspirational narratives.

His ministries include a Christian newsletter, “Juggling for Jesus” and volunteer work with There’s Hope for the Hungry.

Dodd currently resides in the Atlanta area with his wife Helga.

Dodd visited Newton this month, and his book is now available for purchase at Mattingly Music and Book Store.

The book features anecdotes from Dodd’s life and dialogue from him and his wife, including Chapter One which is titled “Chiropractic Limbo.” In April 1979, Dodd won a one-week trip to Jamaica through his work, which he planned to take with his wife. However, he endured a back injury and was unsure if it was a wise decision to go.

Dodd and his wife end up embarking on the journey which is recounted in the chapter, including a limbo competition that Dodd participated in despite his injury.

Other anecdotes include the 1991 World Series between the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins, and a road trip from Atlanta to Memphis.

The book also features baking entries and anecdotes from the Iowa State Fair.

Each chapter is meant to inspire the reader. “Inspiration is a choice,” the book subtitle reads.

Des Moines will soon be without Orthodox Jewish synagogue DES MOINES (AP) — For the first time in well over a century the Des Moines area is about to be without an Orthodox Jewish synagogue.

The Beth El Jacob congregation is selling its 32,000-square-foot synagogue on the west side of Des Moines, the Des Moines Register reported Saturday. Once the sale is final, the Orthodox congregation plans to move into vacant space at the city’s Reform synagogue, Temple B’Nai Jeshurun, which belongs to the most liberal major branch of Judaism.

The Orthodox synagogue’s leaders blamed the sale on dwindling congregation numbers. The building is too big and expensive for an 80-family congregation, they said. The utilities alone run about $2,200 per month.

“We have to get out from under the ball and chain of the building and move forward,” board President Sidney Jacobson said.

Orthodox Jews practice a traditional version of Judaism, such as following strict kosher dietary rules and segregating men from women inside the synagogue.

Scott welcomed him back home on Dec. 10. Jolliffe can take care of himself for the most part, but he still needs 24-hour supervision. Scott is happy to provide that care and attention. When Jolliffe was completely sedated for weeks

on end at the hospital, Scott missed having regular interaction with her best friend.

Scott altered the floor plan of their home to accommodate Jolliffe’s needs. She knocked down some walls to expand the size of the bathroom and bring their bedroom to the lower level, so Jolliffe would not have to deal with the stairs.

“He’s got all of his mobility,” Scott said. “He talks. He texts.

He can do the stairs, but he sometimes gets off balance.”

Jolliffe injured his temporal lobe, which affects his comprehension of speech. He gets confused sometimes, and his words are not always delivered the way he intends. He is getting better, though. Doctors told Scott that, generally speaking, people who injure their temporal lobe recover 99 percent of their brain function within two years.

Despite the setbacks, Color Creations is still open for business. Scott hired a friend to

do most of the work while she tends to Jolliffe. Scott still does bids and picks up paint when she can, too.

Meanwhile, Jolliffe cannot wait to get back to painting.

He said his main priorities are marrying Scott, getting back to work and getting back on the road as a driver. His sights are set on returning to full activity, but right now he spends much of his time sleeping. He said the sleep is good for healing.

For many weeks following

the accident, Jolliffe relied on a feeding tube for sustenance.

He lost 65 pounds during that time. Now his appetite is up, and his diet is back to normal.

He is utilizing Skiff Medical Center in Newton for physical therapy and speech therapy.

“I’m getting a lot better,” he said. “I’m working on it. I’ve got a lot of family behind me.”

Digitizing the records also helps with the wear and tear on the hard copies of the records that are housed at the courthouse. Following the completion of the digitization, all records will be redacted to project personal identifiable information such as social security numbers and bank records. Allan said that is already done on all public records place online by the county and it is standard practice.

“Not only are we prepared for disasters but all of these records will be online in the index books on the county’s website in February,” she said.

Allan is currently working with Cott and the auditor’s office to determine how the images will be presented on the site. Once ready, the county will have an open house for the public to view the program and learn to utilize it.

“I have been told by our representative from Cott that she does not know of any other recorder’s office in Iowa who will have as many land records available online, regardless of vendor,” Allan said.

Delta Dental donates Newton student graduates more than 350,000 from WTA program at DMACC toothbrushes One out of every 11 Iowans received a toothbrush from the Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation this year.

In total, more than 350,000 toothbrushes were distributed across the state through its toothbrush donation program. Schools, clinics, hospitals, I-Smile coordinators, Head Start and other organizations received toothbrushes to encourage brushing, along with dental health education to help Iowans develop and maintain a healthy smile.

According to the Surgeon General’s Oral Health in America Report, tooth decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease. Starting and maintaining good dental habits at a young age is important and aligns with the Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation’s long-term goal that every Iowa child age 0-12 will be cavity-free by 2020. These efforts reach all 99 Iowa counties, furthering the Foundation’s mission to support and improve the health of Iowans.

In 2017, Iowa nonprofit organizations can request toothbrush donations to complement oral health education projects through the Delta Dental of Iowa website at www.deltadentalia.com/ foundation/grant-funding and select Toothbrush Donation Program.

Falling for your hometown I

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Dec. 21, 2016

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Langmaid

swore I wouldn’t move back. I graduated as a NHS Cardinal, but after that I hightailed it out of here, and thoughts of ever returning to Newton were pretty scarce and almost laughable.

Moving out of state for college is still one of the best decisions I have made yet. There was a certain type of independence I was looking to fulfill by living in a new place, with new fac-

es and setting new “adult” goals.

I lived away from my hometown for five years and out of state for three of those years. While I attended college in Minnesota, I would visit home simultaneously. I would see my family and friends and hightail it out of here all over again.

It wasn’t until after I graduated college and moved to a suburb of Atlanta that I realized the comfort the Midwest truly provides. My fiancé, Adam, is a homegrown Georgia

peach and his southern accent and lovable family provided me with a peace of mind.

However, the crime, the traffic and the constant heat made me yearn for peace and quiet, open spaces and the changing seasons.

So, the thought of moving lingered for quite some time as Adam and I awaited the right time to move our lives to the Midwest. Fast forward to September of this year, and we are driving a U-Haul cross country for 14 hours, with my parents and my dog Hank in another vehicle.

To see my parent’s house and their open farmland was a beautiful relief.

Now as we are nearing Christmas time, my small little family is finally

nestled in our home in Baxter.

My time back in Newton thus far has opened my eyes to the abundant amount of differences there are between Iowa and other places I have lived or traveled to. To share just a few, the breathtaking sunsets, the farmer’s wave while driving down rural highways, the friendly and awkward small talk at Fareway as the bagger helps load your groceries — and just in general, the genuine, pure “niceness” trait everyone seems to possess in Newton.

It only took me about eight years, but I think I’m finally starting to appreciate my hometown.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

But the Democrats are hypocrites Last week, the Washington Post reported that the CIA now believes that Russian-supported hacks of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta were designed to boost Donald Trump’s election prospects. The FBI apparently disagrees; it believes that the Russian intervention was designed to undermine faith in the election system generally. But all intelligence agencies agree that there was Russian support for the hacks themselves.

Democrats have fallen all over themselves to claim that this means that Russian President Vladimir Putin shifted the results of the election to Trump. But there’s no evidence of that. Clinton was deeply unpopular for the entire election cycle — a January 2016 YouGov/The Economist poll showed unfavorable ratings at 56 percent; in November, that same poll found her unfavorable ratings to be — you guessed it — 56 percent. It wasn’t WikiLeaks that destroyed Hillary Clinton. It was Hillary Clinton. Even FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that he would be reopening the investigation into Clinton’s emails came courtesy of Anthony Weiner’s laptop, not WikiLeaks.

Republicans, in response, have noted that Democrats’ hysterics over Russian manipulation seems hypocritical. After all, Democrats had no problem whatsoever with President Barack Obama offering Putin “flexibility” in 2012 in exchange for a promise to loosen his pressure tactics. They cheered when Obama told Mitt Romney that he was delusional for embracing anti-Putin politics more appropriate to the 1980s. Now, Democrats are all hot and bothered about Putin’s regime — the same regime that Hillary Clinton handed a reset button, the same regime Obama allowed to take the lead in Syria, the same regime with which Obama meekly complied after Putin’s takeover of Crimea.

Republicans are right: Yes, Democrats are awful hypocrites on Russia.

Here’s the problem: So are Republicans. Trump questioned whether the Russians were behind the hacks at all. That’s no surprise — he spent most of the election cycle lathering up Putin’s bare chest, congratulating him for his strength and equating his murder of journalists with some unspecified American sins. Trump then nominated Rex Tillerson to be secretary of state, a man who received the Order of Friendship from Putin in 2011.

So, what are Republicans doing during all of this? Capitulating. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich calls the Tillerson pick wonderful — the same Newt Gingrich who said in 2012 that Putin “represents a dictatorial approach that’s very violent.” (Of course, Gingrich now gives a lecture to the Heritage Foundation on the principles of Trumpism, so that’s not much of a surprise.) Sean Hannity has accused anyone with questions about Russian hacking of simply wanting to undermine Trump. He said, “If all of these people care so much about these Russian allegations, then why didn’t they feel the same way about Hillary Clinton’s private server scandal?” We did! In fact, we spent years ripping Clinton apart. And now we’d like to know why Putin’s hacking is all right. By the way, Hannity used to care about Russian interference and aggression. In March 2012, he called Putin a “huge problem,” and in June 2013, he lamented that Putin was “laughing at the Obama admin’s request to extradite Snowden back to the U.S.” Now he wants Julian Assange, who is allegedly working with Putin, freed (in 2010 he wanted him jailed).

Here’s the problem with the hypocrisy argument: You have to be nonhypocritical in order to make that charge. So long as Republicans are so intent on backing Trump’s play that they act like hypocrites, it’s going to be difficult to point out just how hypocritical Democrats are.

am so appreciative to the 100 Great Iowa Nurses program for providing me with a financial award,” 2016 award recipient Taren Flug said.

Woman abused as child needs help to overcome her hang-ups DEAR ABBY: I am a 46-year-old woman with PTSD due to a history of physical abuse, mental abuse and incest that I experienced as a child. I’m proud to say that it has not been repeated with my four children.

My childhood history has made me want sex only if I am in control or if I am role-playing rape. It has caused a big problem with my fiance. I want this scenario all the time, and unfortunately it’s unhealthy. I’m not sure how to go about healthy sex with him. He is 10 years older than I am and not interested in “different” sex practices.

I love him very much and don’t want to mess up this relationship because of my sex issues. Can you advise me how to handle this? — ROLE-PLAYING IN ST. PAUL DEAR ROLE-PLAYING: If you haven’t discussed the reason for your sexual issues with your fiance, you need to explain the reason for them. From your letter, I am guessing that you never had counseling to help you resolve the abuse to which you were subjected. If that’s correct, I am advising you to contact RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network; rainn.org) or a local rape crisis organization and ask for some help now. The counselors are specially trained to help victims of various kinds of abuse, and the place to start resolving your issues would be there.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a woman in my 30s. My father has been in prison since I was a tot. I was raised by my mother who, in my opinion, did a great job. My relationship with my father has been damaged for as long as I can remember.

He will never get out, and part of me is angry at him for making such poor life choices.

When I was a teenager he struck me once during a visit. He is also manipulative and sometimes does hurtful things. For example, a few years ago he wrote me letters to which I never responded. When I finally got around to writing him back, he mailed my letters back to me (unopened) and said I de-

served to see how it felt to have letters go unanswered.

He has said he’s convinced he will die within five years because he’s nearing the ages when his parents died. I think there’s something wrong with him, and I’m afraid that after he passes on I’ll feel like I didn’t make enough of an effort. How do I proceed with my relationship with my father? — CAUTIOUS IN THE SOUTH DEAR CAUTIOUS: Your father made terrible life choices, and he’s spending the rest of his life paying for them. I don’t blame you for feeling anger at his inability to parent you.

However, before advising you to write him off, I would need to know why he lashed out at you during your prison visit, even though hitting is unacceptable.

When people are incarcerated, their ability to reach out is severely limited, as I am sure you know all too well. I don’t think the way your father handled your ignoring his letters was bad or wrong.

If his silence stung you, imagine how yours affected him.

Whether or not your father is dying is beside the point. I think on some level you know you have to treat him with more compassion than you have, or you wouldn’t have written to me. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t made mistakes. Your father made a doozy.

But you say your mother raised you right, and if that’s true it couldn’t hurt to treat him with some compassion.

Backlog of autopsies delaying release of remains DES MOINES — A backlog of autopsies at the Iowa Medical Examiner’s Office has been delaying the return of remains to family members. It usually takes the office a day or two to complete an autopsy. But a spokeswoman said in the past month, a 12 percent surge in cases coupled with an understaffed office has caused delays. The Iowa Department of Public Health, says that at one point in the past month, the office had 32 bodies awaiting autopsy and it took up to two weeks to release remains.

THE

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not at all clear that President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to spend massively on infrastructure are going to unfold as he promised.

Trump made rebuilding the nation’s aging roads, bridges and airports very much part of his job-creation strategy in the presidential race. But lately lobbyists have begun to fear that there won’t be an infrastructure proposal at all, or at least not the grand plan they’d been led to expect.

From the day he entered the presidential race to the moment he declared victory, Trump pledged an infrastructure renewal. He cited decaying bridges, potholed roads and airports like New York’s LaGuardia that he said reminded him of the “third world.”

Trump or his campaign also mentioned schools, hospitals, pipelines, water treatment plants and the electrical grid as part of a job-creation strategy that would make the U.S. “second to none.”

It was a rare area in which House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats hoped for common ground with the president-elect. The possibility of a major infrastructure spending plan is one of several factors that have fueled the recent run-up in stock prices.

But did he mean it?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to tamp down expectations last week, telling reporters he wants to avoid “a $1 trillion stimulus.” And Reince Priebus, who will be Trump’s chief of staff, said in a radio interview that the new administration will focus in its first nine months with other issues like health care and rewriting tax laws. He sidestepped questions about the infrastructure plan.

TIME IS NOW FOR A

AP Photo A worker lifts materials as construction continues on the new roadway deck of the Bayonne Bridge in Bayonne, N.J. Even as they maneuver for a share of the $1 trillion in spending President-elect Donald Trump promised to rebuild America’s roads, bridges and airports, lobbyists for transportation and utility industries are beginning to wonder whether Trump really meant what he said.

In a post-election interview with The New York Times, Trump himself seemed to back away, saying infrastructure won’t be a “core” part of the first few years of his administration. But he said there will still be “a very large-scale infrastructure bill.”

He acknowledged that he didn’t realize during the campaign that New Deal-style proposals to put people to work building infrastructure might conflict with his party’s small-government philosophy.

“That’s not a very Republican thing — I didn’t even know that, frankly,” he said.

Since the election, Trump has backed away — or at least suggested flexibility — on a range of issues that energized his supporters during the campaign, including his promises to prosecute Hillary Clinton, pull out of the Paris climate change accord and reinstitute waterboarding for detainees.

Trump transition officials

didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The mixed signals on infrastructure have lobbyists and lawmakers puzzled.

“We’re worried,” said Brian Turmail, a spokesman for the Associated General Contractors of America, which represents more than 26,000 construction companies and 10,500 service providers and suppliers.

“Are we hearing signs that people just don’t know what the plan is?” he asked. “Or signs that people don’t want any kind of plan? We don’t know the answer.”

Lobbyists have responded by flooding the Trump transition team with briefing memos, lining up meetings and privately pitching their proposals to what they hope will be a more receptive Congress.

Trade associations are urging their local members to seek out their senators and House members while they’re home for the holidays.

New Year’s Eve Pops: The Flaming Lips to Perform Sinatra at 100 and Beyond at Hoyt Sherman Place Newton Daily News

Newton Daily News

DES MOINES — The Des Moines Symphony continues its 79th Season with New Year’s Eve Pops: Sinatra at 100 and Beyond 8 p.m. Dec. 31 at the Des Moines Civic Center, 221 Walnut St. in Des Moines.

Central Iowa’s premiere New Year’s Eve event is the Des Moines Symphony’s Pops at the Civic Center. Following his sold-out New Year’s Eve Pops in 2009, Steve Lippia makes his triumphant return to Des Moines for a celebration of Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday. You’ll hear all your favorite Sinatra songs — from “Come Fly With Me” to “My Way” — backed by the full symphonic power of the Des Moines Symphony along with members of the Turner Center Jazz Orchestra.

A limited number of tickets start at $35 and are available online through dmsymphony. org or Des Moines Performing Arts (up until two hours prior to performances) and at the

American rock band The Flaming Lips will perform at 7:30 p.m. April 22 at Hoyt Sherman Place.

Melodically, their sound contains lush, multi-layered, psychedelic rock arrangements, but lyrically their compositions show elements of space rock, including unusual song and album titles. They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which feature costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, and large amounts of confetti. In 2002, Q magazine named The Flaming Lips one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die”.

The group recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label, Restless, in the 1980s and early 1990s. After signing

to Warner Brothers, they scored a hit in 1993 with “She Don’t Use Jelly”. Since then, the band has collaborated with artists like Ke$ha, Bon Iver, Erykah Badu, and Miley Cyrus.

In November of 2015, the Lips released “Heady Nuggs 20 Years After Clouds Taste Metallic: 1994-1997,” a three-CD or five-LP compilation including the “Clouds Taste Metallic” album, the 1994 odds-and-ends EP “Providing Needles for Your Balloons,” a further rarities collection titled “The King Bug Laughs” and a previously unreleased concert recorded in Seattle in 1996.

Tickets are on sale and can be purchased in person at the Hoyt Sherman Place Box Office, charged by phone at 800-745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Brady Smith has Prairie City-Monroe’s Dalton Schlangen on his back ready to pin in the opening match of Tuesday night’s dual at Newton. Smith won the 182-pound bout to help Newton beat the visiting PCM Mustangs, 39-31.

Cardinals beat Mustangs on the mat

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Newton High doesn’t have any ranked wrestlers in Class 3A. Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs have four ranked wrestlers — all in the middle weights — in Class 2A. Although Newton and PCM are not in the same conference, there is a rivalry between the two schools, which

are 14 miles away from each other. The Cardinals hosted the Mustangs in a non-conference wrestling dual Tuesday.

By the luck of the draw, varsity competition began at 182. Newton won the first four matches to lead 21-0. PCM made a run, winning six of the next nine matches, but Newton held on for a 39-31 victory.

“It’s a good way to go into Christmas break. We have a chance to get healthy from

illness and injuries,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said. “The 195-pound match was a good one for us.

It was toss-up match between the teams. It was good to see Jaise (Gulling) win that one.”

Each team had to adjust its varsity lineup for the competition. Newton was without its 195-pounder Blayden Rhone, who is sidelined with a knee injury, and Blake Cockerton at 113 and Ross Hull at 126 were

out of the lineup. PCM’s Class 2A ninth-ranked 170-pounder Jarron Trausch was not dressed out to wrestle.

“The matches went as I expected them tonight,” PCM head coach Cory Waddell said. “I knew we had to have some bonus points, and we didn’t get them. Not having Jarron in the lineup at the last minute, we had to do some jockeying around. I knew it was going to be a close dual.”

Brady Smith opened the dual for Newton with a pin of PCM’s Dalton Schlangen at the 3:06 mark of the 182-pound match. Jaise Gulling stepped in at 195 pounds to take on the Mustangs’ Leevi Telfer.

Gulling scored first on a takedown, but it was knotted at 2-2 by end of the first period as Telfer had a reversal. Gulling reversed positions with WRESTLING | 3B

Newton basketball teams sweep Oskaloosa in LHC play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Newton High’s basketball teams went on the road one more time Tuesday before the holiday break.

The Cardinal girls netted their first Little Hawkeye Conference win while the Cardinal boys upended Class 3A seventh-ranked Oskaloosa boys.

The Cardinal boys pulled away from the Indians in a strong second half to win 70-57. The teams were deadlocked at 32-all at halftime.

Newton’s girls held on for a 48-46 victory over their host Oskaloosa in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The Cardinal girls pushed out to a 12-4 first-quarter lead, and went to halftime with a 26-20 advantage.

Newton (3-4, 1-2) held a

Walters

40-32 lead after three quarters. The Indian girls used a late charge to close the gap to two points at the end.

“Our kids played hard tonight and never got rattled,” Newton girls’ head coach Brandon Sharp said. “We didn’t shoot the ball well and Oskaloosa shot better than usual. We got timely stops defensively, and timely buckets on offense.”

Randi Walters fired in four of the team’s eight 3-pointers on her way to 14 points. She also had six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Ellie Horn blocked three shots in the lane, and she scored eight points and pulled down five rebounds.

Ryanne Rausch controlled seven rebounds. Taylor Shipley had four rebounds and two steals. Dishing out two assists each were Courtney Jacobsen and Marceline Marvelli.

“It was a great win on the road. Our girls really took steps forward in not crumbling under pressure,” Sharp said.

Oskaloosa’s girls (2-4, 0-3) were led by Alexis Westercamp’s 18 points.

Playing team defense was one key for Newton’s boys gaining the advantage over

Oskaloosa in the second half Tuesday. Other keys were a patient offensive mind-set and downing free throws.

“Our team defense is what sets us apart from our opponents. Team defense, taking care of the basketball and rebounding are what we do to be successful,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said. “This was a nice team win on the road.”

Trey Vanderlaan ripped the cords for six 3-pointers in the game, five came in the first half to help the Cardinals keep pace with the Indians. Vanderlaan ended up with 19 points.

Garrett Sturtz pushed the ball to the rim throughout the game, scoring 25 points for Newton. Connor Gholson poured in 16 points. Newton was 15-of-21 from the freethrow line, and they all came

in the second half. Sturtz was 6-of-9, and Gholson sank 5-of-7 foul shots.

Josh Ventling added eight points, but he also handed out five assists, made two steals and grabbed five rebounds.

Morgan Maher had five rebounds and three assists.

Oskaloosa had a 30-21 edge in rebounding. Newton only had three turnovers in the game.

“I don’t like the rebounding margin being that wide, but we got the ones we needed,” Liley said. “We’re becoming a really special defensive basketball team. We play defense well together. The kids take care of the ball very well, which allows us to have the scoring opportunities we need.”

Cubs defeat Mustangs in Nevada boys hand PCM battle of ranked teams first Heart of Iowa defeat

MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe seniors Katie Vande Wall and Kaylee Townsend were forced to the bench early in the first quarter against Class 4A No. 7 Nevada on Tuesday night.

In a game where points are a premium and perfect execution is needed, the foul trouble got the Mustangs off to a slow start, and 3A No. 15 PCM never recovered as Nevada won its 28th consecutive Heart of Iowa Conference game, 62-37.

MONROE — The foul discrepency between Nevada and the Prairie City-Monroe boys basketball team Tuesday night was noticeable.

The Mustangs were called for the first six fouls in the game, and the Cubs held a 6-1 advantage in foul calls early in the second half.

But according to PCM coach Fred Lorensen, the difference in the Mustangs’ 66-49 loss was much more about what his team didn’t do than referees making poor calls.

Seven Raiders, six Falcons selected to Pro Bowl NEW YORK (AP) — After more than a decade as the NFL’s black hole, the Oakland Raiders are back in the playoffs and filling up the Pro Bowl.

The resurgent Raiders, enjoying their first winning season in 14 years, lead the league with seven players selected for next month’s all-star game.

Quarterback Derek Carr, wide receiver Amari Cooper, center Rodney Hudson, defensive end Khalil Mack, safety Reggie Nelson, guard Kelechi Osemele and tackle Donald Penn were picked from the Raiders, who occupy first place in the AFC West going into Week 16.

Cleveland tackle Joe Thomas and Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald were honored for the 10th time.

Fitzgerald’s 10 Pro Bowl selections are the second-most in NFL history by a wide receiver. Only Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (13) has more.

Twenty-six of the 32 teams had at least one player picked.

Twenty players were chosen for the first time, including three rookies: Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott from Dallas, and Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill.

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B Nevada junior Lexy Koudelka came into the game averaging a 4A high 20.4 and 12.6 rebounds per game, but it was the Cubs experienced guards that got the visitors off to a fast start.

Senior Abby Stephenson and junior Claire Ausman combined to knock down three 3-pointers in the first quarter, and the lead grew larger as the game went on.

“You have to give them credit. They are a good team.

They are tough,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

“You can tell they have been playing together for a while, and you can tell they have been in some big games. That’s where we have to get better.

When we play in these bigger games, we have to handle that a little better. That goes from the top down.”

PCM trailed 6-4 early following a putback by Townsend. Stephenson and Ausman followed that bucket up with back-to-back 3-pointers. Nevada scored the final four points of the period to lead 16-6 after one quarter.

After a free throw by senior Lexi Timmins, Nevada (7-1 overall, 7-0 in the HOIC) extended its lead with an 8-0 run.

Timmins buried a trey to stop the run, but Koudelka put in two buckets and Ausman nailed another 3-pointer to give the Cubs a 17-point lead at the half.

“We talked about all five girls hitting the boards. When we crashed the boards, that left the shooters open a few times,” Lindsay said. “We didn’t react well enough.”

Koudelka and Ausman both scored 13 points in the win.

Stephenson did most of her damage in the second half. She

hit four 3-pointers in the game and scored 17 of her gamehigh 22 points in the final two quarters.

PCM freshman Regan Freland tried to keep the Mustangs close. She hit both of her 3-pointers in the second half and finished with a teamhigh 15 points, two steals and two assists.

Freland was the only Mustang to reach double-figures.

PCM’s leading scorer, senior Kayla Jennings, was held to one field goal and six points.

“We had our opportunities, but we didn’t shoot the ball well,” Lindsay said. “If we hit some of our open routine shots, the game looks different.

“They executed better than we did, and that was a huge part of the final score.”

Lindsay envisions his program looking similar to Neva-

da’s in a few years. Koudelka is a two-time all-state post player, Ausman is the school’s alltime leader in made 3-pointers and Stephenson has the school record for most career assists.

Opponents have to pick their poison when guarding the Cubs, who have now won seven straight games.

The early fouls to two starters didn’t help matters any.

“It’s not good. It was our two starting post players, but our subs played well,” Lindsay said. “You can only do so much against that girl. They have so many other weapons, too. We’ve tried to develop our team like Nevada. They have had more time to work at it obviously.

“There is just some things we have to get better at over break.”

Timmins finished with five points and a team-high six re-

bounds for the Mustangs (6-2, 5-1). Hattie Rhodes was the fourth Nevada player to reach double-figures as she scored 12.

The Mustangs do not play again until after the holiday break. PCM opens the month of January with a make-up game on Jan. 3 at South Hamilton.

ing 185 per game.”

NCMP boys swim tough against Atlantic, Roosevelt

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DES MOINES — There were no team victories for the NCMP boys in Tuesday’s double dual swim meet, but head coach Sarah Patterson was pleased with the Cardinals’ performance.

NCMP’s Cardinals competed against Atlantic and host Des Moines Roosevelt Tuesday. They lost 84-68 to Atlantic and 112-54 to Roosevelt.

“We had one of our best meets of the season last night against Roosevelt and Atlantic,” Patterson said. “We didn’t win either meet but went back and forth with Atlantic most of night. Roosevelt has 58 people, so once again with 15 people we were outmanned there, but battled all evening.”

NCMP’s Caleb Gaylor won the shortest and the longest individual races of the night. He won the 50-yard freestyle race in 23.36 seconds. Later, Gay-

Wrestling Continued from Page 1B Telfer in the second period followed by Telfer scoring one point on an escape.

“We knew this was going to be a tough dual with their four ranked kids. I knew my guy was a senior, so I was prepared for a tough match,” Gulling said. “We were a little down coming into this one.

Getting this win was big for us and good for the rivalry with them.”

Next on the mat was the 220-pound bout with Newton’s Alex Miller and PCM’s Clayton Welch. Both are seniors. Miller used three takedowns to lead Welch 6-2 by the end of the first period and was up 7-1 when he turned Welch over for a pin in the third period.

Newton junior Landon Hansen collected his first varsity dual win at 285. Hansen

lor showed his endurance in winning the 500 freestyle in 5 minutes, 8.19 seconds.

“The 50 free is always exciting. Clay Trotter was first at the 25, but got stuck under the water a bit on his turn and Caleb Gaylor then took the lead,” Patterson said. “Both guys were outstanding, placing 1-3 in the event with Clay turning a 24.22. The race is short, but difficult because there is no margin for error.”

NCMP opened the meet with a third-place finish in the 200 medley relay with the team of Trotter, Carter Briggs, Gaylor and Mason Lee in 1:52.08.

The team of Adam Hunter, Paul Maharry, Clay Meyer and Grant Hamand took sixth in 2:05.40.

At 126, the Mustangs’ Jakeb Fenton made quick work of Newton’s Blake Iske with a pin in 36 seconds. Noah Cook got those six team points right back for the Cardinals by pinning PCM’s Nathan Fagg in 1:49 at 132 pounds.

“Our younger kids have been doing great all year. We have four seniors on the varsity and the rest are underclassmen. They are going to have ups and downs, but they are responding well,” Waddell said.

Chase Shirk sparked a three-match run for the Mustangs. Shirk pinned Newton’s Reece Caves with 17 seconds left in the second period of their 138-pound match.

Xavier Miller is ranked No. 4 in 2A at 145 pounds. Miller

“We had a really good — and hard — practice Monday night and I think that helped us swim tough Tuesday night,” Patterson said.

“I am a firm believer in hard work. We are looking forward to some really good Christmas training to prepare us for the end of the season. It’s coming up fast. Coach Knepper and I are really proud of these guys — we’re small but mighty, and we have represented all three of our schools very well.”

Swedenhjelm said he was glad to see Sorensen, a senior, who stepped in from the junior varsity and got a win. Cook and Hansen had big wins for the team, he said, to help get off to a good start against PCM. PCM competes at 4 p.m.

Thursday in a quadrangular at Solon to finish up the first semester. Newton is done until after the break when it goes to Oskaloosa on Jan. 5.

Newton won two of the three junior varsity matches against PCM. Bobby Yarges and Coltin Whitten won by pins at 120 and 145 for Newton while PCM’s Connor Fagen had a pin at 132 pounds.

Hawks sweep SICL twin Bohannon, Jok lead bill with Belle Plaine Iowa over North Dakota

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s basketball teams are both ranked in Class 1A. There is only one loss between the Hawk squads after they swept a South Iowa Cedar League conference doubleheader at home Tuesday.

The 15th-ranked Hawk girls downed Belle Plaine 42-30 to improve to 8-0 overall and 7-0 in SICL play. Lynnville-Sully’s ninth-ranked boys defeated visiting Belle Plaine, 59-38, to move to 6-1 overall and 5-1 in conference action.

“This was good win for the Hawks,” Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach Nick Harthoorn said. “Our defensive intensity and rebounding were excellent. Our spacing was better offensively, which allowed us to get to the basket.”

Lynnville-Sully’s boys led from the first quarter on, 125. They controlled a 34-13 halftime lead. Belle Plaine did out score the Hawks, 17-11, in the third quarter, but Lynnville-Sully maintained its lead.

It finished on a 14-8 run in the final eight minutes.

Brevin Hansen fired in 16 points to lead Lynnville-Sully. Tyler Van Zante added 11 points and Rylan James had 10 points. The Hawk boys shot 44 percent, 24-of-54, from the field and sank 9-of-13 free throw attempts.

Belle Plaine got 13 points from Brant DeMealenaere and nine points from Garrett Straight. The Plainsmen were 13-of-45, 29 percent, from the field including an 0-of-11 from 3-pt range. They hit 12of-26 foul shots, had 26 rebounds and 18 turnovers.

Jesse Van Wyk grabbed seven rebounds, dished out five assists, had six steals and scored six points for the Hawk boys. Tanner Foster had nine points and three blocked shots. James pulled down nine of the team’s 33 rebounds. Corey McCoy scored four points followed by Ryan Hofer with two points and John Trettin with one point.

The girls’ game was a little closer throughout. Belle Plaine led 9-8 after one quarter of play, but a 14-8 run by the Hawks gained a 22-17 halftime lead for Lynnville-Sully.

The Hawks had a 13-8 scoring edge in the third quarter and went 7-5 in the fourth period.

“We struggled early to get

into a rhythm on both ends of the floor. I thought in the second half, we did a better job of talking and getting through screens and keep them out of the lane,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach Jerry Hulsing said.

Brenna Lanser paced the Hawk girls with 17 points.

Carson Fisk tossed in 10 points, had seven rebounds and made three steals. Jelissa Rozendaal pulled down 13 rebounds, handed out three assists and scored seven points.

Lynnville-Sully got three points each from Hailey Scandridge and Mariah Voss. Jataya Meyer scored two points.

“Our help defense was better getting down to the level of the ball and helping in on their post players. Our offense was more patient which allowed us to get some good looks at the basket and we did a better job of finishing. We need to continue to work on our rebounding,” Hulsing said.

The Hawk girls shot 39 percent, 18-of-46, from the field but only hit 4-of-14 free throw tries. Belle Plaine shot 28 percent, 11-of-36, from the field and downed 7-of-12 free throw attempts. Lynnville-Sully held a 33-28 rebounding edge.

Belle Plaine was led by MaKenzie Mantz with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Belle Plaine turned the ball over 23 times.

Lynnville-Sully’s teams end the first semester of play Thursday with a home non-conference doubleheader against East Marshall at Sully.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa coach Fran McCaffery walked off the court after the win and waved for his team to follow him to the locker room without shaking hands with North Dakota’s players and coaches.

It was a wild ending to an otherwise vanilla game that the Hawkeyes won 84-73 on Tuesday night.

McCaffery was irritated with what he considered a few unnecessary and chippy plays in the closing moments of a game that Iowa led by 16 points with 3 minutes to go.

The most prominent play happened when North Dakota’s Corey Baldwin tried for a steal and score with 3 seconds left when Nicholas Baer was holding the ball to run out the clock.

“I wasn’t pleased with how the game ended and the things that happened,” McCaffery said. “I don’t think they teach that kind of stuff, but I was not having it. That’s not the way to play.”

McCaffery didn’t give a direct answer when asked what specific plays bothered him.

“Were you at the game?” he said. “Well, then you should know what I didn’t like.”

North Dakota’s players and coaches lined up for the

postgame handshake, then looked surprised that Iowa wasn’t there to meet them.

Several Fighting Hawks players threw their hands up in frustration.

“They’re not malicious kids,” said North Dakota coach Brian Jones, a former assistant at Iowa under Steve Alford. “They’re just trying to compete until the final horn goes off. That’s all.”

Peter Jok and Jordan Bo-

hannon each scored 18 points to help the Hawkeyes (7-5) win their fourth straight.

Cordell Pemsl had nine points and a career-high 11 rebounds.

Iowa pulled away with a 16-0 run in the middle of the first half when North Dakota went six minutes without scoring. The Hawkeyes forced eight turnovers on nine possessions during that stretch.

Thomas leads Iowa State past MVSU AMES (AP) — Iowa State will spend the next two months playing in one the toughest leagues in the country.

The Cyclones won’t be able to struggle for more than a half like they did on Tuesday and expect to compete in the Big 12.

Senior Matt Thomas scored a career-high 23 points to lead Iowa State past Mississippi Valley State 8860, helping the Cyclones post back-to-back wins for the first time in a month.

Naz Mitrou-Long had 19 points and Monte Morris scored 13 for the Cyclones (8-3), who shot 50 percent from 3-point range and finished on a 32-11 run.

But Iowa State, plagued by turnovers, let winless Mississippi Valley State (0-12) rip off a 16-3 run in the first half and trailed the winless Delta Devils 25-24 at one point.

The Cyclones also let MVSU

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Reed Worth, left, scored a career-high 10 points and grabbed five rebounds in the Mustangs’ loss to Nevada on Tuesday night.

AP Photo Iowa forward Nicholas Baer, right, grabs a rebound over North Dakota forward Drick Bernstine (43) during the first half Tuesday in Iowa City.

Either way, Nevada took advantage of PCM’s early foul trouble, jumped out to a quick lead and never allowed the home team to get close during a 66-49 road win in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

“I had no trouble with the officials at all,” Lorensen said. “They were more aggressive. We had to hack them inside, and we didn’t make them foul us at the other end. We didn’t take the ball at them at all. This was just a game where they played a lot better than we did.”

The Mustangs were already without senior Mark Bruxvoort, who continues to sit out because of an ankle injury. They also played most of the first half without the services of starters Elijah Sperfslage, Dayton Boell and Andrew Van Ryswyk because of early foul trouble.

The Cubs went to their second leading scorer, Luke Merfeld, early and often in the first quarter, and the only thing that stopped him were fouls. He scored 11 first-quarter points in helping Nevada lead 19-11 after one frame.

“We are a different team offensively when those two aren’t on the floor,” Lorensen said of Sperfslage and Van Ryswyk.

“They can make baskets for us,

grab 13 offensive rebounds.

“We had good stretches.

We had bad stretches,” said Mitrou-Long, who has scored 56 points in his last two games after struggling earlier this season. “We can’t get beat on the offensive glass.”

The Cyclones eventually overwhelmed MVSU as ex-

and we were missing that tonight.

That is something we have to get better at. One of (Van Ryswyk’s) fouls was 84 feet from the basket.

He wasn’t trying to foul him, but you can’t waste one in that spot.”

That advantage held up the rest of the way. Trent Stahl, who came into the game leading the Cubs at 14 points per game, buried a triple to give Nevada a 2211 lead.

Junior Jackson Thomas answered with a 3-pointer at the other end, but that’s the closest PCM got in the first half.

“Nevada put pressure on us, and we didn’t respond to it very well,” Lorensen said. “You have to give them credit. We gave them too many easy buckets. There are just a lot of things that we have to do better.”

With several starters saddled with foul trouble, PCM got a lift from sophomore Reed Worth off the bench. Worth scored eight of his career-high 10 points in the second half.

Worth pulled the Mustangs within 11 points on two separate occasions. Thomas, who finished with a team-high 14 points, drew PCM within single digits with 4:11 to play, but that’s as close as it got.

“We missed shots we normally make,” Lorensen said. “But when that happens, you have to get easier shots. We had chances to do that, but we were content on shooting from outside.”

pected, jumping ahead 78-53 on a Thomas layup with just over six minutes left.

Isaac Williams and Darrell Riley each scored 18 for the Delta Devils. They were outrebounded 43-28.

“We’ve got to just get our tenacity and our swagger back on defense,” Prohm said.

The loss was the first in conference play for PCM. The Mustangs dropped to 4-2 overall and 4-1 in the HOIC, Nevada improved to 3-4 overall and 3-3 in the league.

Three Mustangs scored in double-figures. Thomas chipped in six rebounds and five assists to go with his 14 points. Worth added 10 points and five rebounds, while Van Ryswyk put in 10 points and three boards.

Sperfslage scored eight points before fouling out with 2:31 to play in the game.

Freshman Derek Brown, who started in the second half, pulled down a team-best seven rebounds and scored five points.

Nevada was led by Stahl, who scored 19 points in the win. Merfeld finished with 12 points, while Om’Unique Wilkerson scored 16.

Wilkerson came into the game averaging 6.7 points per game.

The Cubs had a 12-point advantage from the free-throw line.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 21). You’ll put a great deal of yourself into your friendships, and one special relationship will create many opportunities for adventure and financial gain throughout 2017. You’ll win a contest in February.

After the longest night, things will start to look up again.

about fitting in or not. Honor who you are and you’ll find you can get comfortable in many different situations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Not all stress is harmful, especially if you don’t think of it as such. You can make stress work for you today. That’s what it’s there for, after all.

When you hit that tense moment think: “This is happening so that I can ...”

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The direct route to making friends is often, oddly, not as effective as other ways. But as you decide what else you want in your life and act on that, you’ll get human contact as a bonus side effect.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You believe in the value of what

you’re doing. Hold on to that as you go. Sometimes your action will be popular, sometimes it won’t. Don’t worry about how you’re being seen or thought of or experienced by others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Hypothetical scenarios rarely play out like real life. To get the twists, turns and thrills, you have to throw your whole self in, not just your mind and imagination. It is only through interacting with others that you’ll find out who you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Remember when you didn’t afford someone the benefit of the doubt, and you turned out to be wrong? This memory will play into today’s scenario. Anyway,

SM-NE8143016-1223

now you’d rather be wrong and kind than right and unkind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

In general, you just want to lighten up, and this can be accomplished in a number of ways. Take the pressure off of your to-do list. Get more help.

Take breaks to visit and laugh.

It’s the practical things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As much as you try, there are no guarantees that you can control your experience so you won’t suffer. And yet, it is often the case that when you don’t try, you don’t suffer, either. It’s more like a ride.

You let go and enjoy it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s easy to point out how things could have been done better. But to initiate an action

and follow through, this is the proof. You’ll show your integrity and strong character at every turn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The time for thinking about it is over. Decide. Are you willing to take the risks necessary to getting what you want? In order to get the fruit, you have to go out on the limb.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You work in the world of the mind, and you play in the world of the heart. One person brings these two worlds together for you, and that’s a beautiful relationship, certainly one to be appreciated and celebrated now.
