City outlines strategic action plan for the coming years

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The City of Newton set a strategic action plan with goals for the coming years in several areas of the community. Four purposes help outline the specific goals including providing a safe community, encouraging economic development, fostering a high quality of life and having an effective, efficient, democratic governance.

Provide a Safe Community “The city’s purpose is to protect the community and to fairly enforce the law,” Robert Knabel, city administrator said.

Additional points to the purpose are to educate the residents and to provide information on safety prevention, to be well prepared in order to promptly respond to emergencies, to provide for the protection of the environment and the lives of its residents and visitors and to provide a safe transportation network that is well-maintained.

In order to provide a safe community the city hopes to reduce traffic accidents, thefts, burglaries and crime in multiunit housing complexes along with improving the quality of rental housing. A public safety task force made up of police and fire personnel will work to provide public safety education to the community.

When responding to emergencies, the city hopes to reduce response time for officers arriving to a scene. It also will work toward replacing seven outdoor warning sirens and increasing the fire department crews awareness of its performance.

To provide a safer transportation network, the city set goals of implementing a communitywide master plan for traffic control systems including evaluating the traffic flow and traffic control systems in the downtown. A five year street maintenance program is also a goal for safer travels.

Encourage Economic Development

The Iowa Department of Public Health recently announced it is collaborating with the Iowa State Hygienic Lab, three EMS providers and three Iowa hospitals for testing, screening or treatment of an Ebola patient, if required.

Iowa does not have any cases of Ebola, nor has it had any cases of Ebola in the past. IDPH stresses the likelihood of an Ebola case in Iowa is extremely low; however, the designation of partner hospitals, EMS providers and the abil-

ity to test for the Ebola virus in-state is another step in the extensive and continuing preparedness efforts on the state, county and local levels.

University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City has agreed to serve as an Ebola treatment facility. Mercy Medical Center — Des Moines and UnityPoint Health — Iowa Methodist Medical Center, Des Moines have agreed to be screening facilities for an Ebola patient.

“The city’s purpose is to build a strong economic base with high quality jobs. This is to be accomplished by creating a vibrant downtown, attracting business growth around the interstate interchanges, assisting local businesses with expansion and grow the population,” Knabel said.

The city hopes to accomplish these goals in part by attracting young families and retaining existing residents.

Creating downtown housing opportunities, updating downtown streets and streetscape appearances along with supporting the Main Street Program are areas the city is looking at to help create a strong downtown.

Along the interstate, the city plans to work with NASCAR to obtain at least two new commercial developments focusing on regional-scale retail. To go along with additional retail, improvement in hotel options and additional restaurants will help

There are no items specifically tied to reconfiguration on the agenda for Monday night’s regular Newton Community School District meeting.

However, just because the most heavily discussed topic of the past several months isn’t amid the plans, the meeting won’t necessarily be a short one.

There are 10 action items on the agenda.

In addition to some changes to redefinition of the district’s Newton Community Education Association contract, there are also action items involving the Newton High School

academic planning handbook and a bid for asbestos removal.

Consideration of the sale of a transportation department vehicle, a School Budget Review request, election of a representative of District 5 on the Iowa Association of School Boards Board of Directors and some personnel actions are also on the agenda.

Discussion items on the agenda include a first reading of a district wellness policy and the technology devices-tostudent ratio and purchase schedule.

Monday night’s meeting is the only regularly scheduled meeting of December for the board. It would have been tough for the board to meet the week of Dec. 8, as a number

Last minute shoppers can find treasures downtown

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Several downtown businesses will be available to the last minute shopper this holiday season.

For those who put off shopping until the days before Christmas, there are still many options to fill up the boxes and pack the stockings.

Leading up to Christmas, many of the downtown stores extended hours on Saturday and Sunday to help accommodate the crowds who cannot always make it during the week.

During the week of Christmas, most stores are open normal business hours on Monday and Tuesday with abbreviated hours on Wednesday, Christmas Eve. Beckman’s Gallery will be open until 3 p.m. Dec. 24 for

those last minute shoppers.

The gallery is also having a 30 percent off sale on a Christmas Decorations. Silverado Jewelry will also be closing at 3 p.m.

Wednesday. For a last minute gift, scarves are 20 percent off and initial necklaces are on sale.

Relics will also be open until 3 p.m. Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve also brings the last day to use the cash coupons shoppers received from retailers who participated in the “Shop Small” Saturday promotion put on by Newton Main Street and the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The promotion encouraged people to support small businesses by handing out cash coupons between Nov. 27 and Dec. 7. Shoppers could then return

between Dec. 8 and 24 to redeem the coupons.

“Our goal is to get people downtown and showcase the unique gift options offered by downtown retailers,” said Andrew Bassman, executive director of the Newton Main Street Partnership.

Bonnie Terpstra, who owns The Farmer’s Wife, participated in the promotion. She said that she received great feedback from her customers, who have until 4 p.m. Wednesday to use them.

“It was really good, it was a good promotion. I’ve had quite of a few of them come back,” Terpstra said.

“I am proud of these partners for stepping up to the challenge to ensure that Iowa is prepared,” said IDPH Director Gerd Clabaugh.

“Iowans should be confident that while the chance of a confirmed or suspected Ebola case in Iowa is highly unlikely, the public health and state health care systems are prepared for that possibility.”

• High risk — individual is ordered to home quarantine, additional activity is limited and the individual must take their temperature twice daily with local public health observing.

These orders are issued to ensure an early as possible warning of the appearance of symptoms which allows time to arrange for appropriate transport and care of patients to one of the facilities listed above. If an individual under health orders were to develop symptoms of Ebola, IDPH would be notified and IDPH would coordinate transportation with a pre-identified EMS to a designated screening facility.

This will ensure that no exposure to unprotected and unprepared health-care workers occurs.

Start the Press

Make some noise

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Dec. 22, 2014

For me, third grade was like magic. It was a year of perfect scores, a favorite teacher, good friends and it was when I really fell in love with reading.

Gratefully, my son’s third grade year is shaping up to be a great one for him, and for us. I’ve been delighted to be a part of several activities at his school, so when the opportunity came up to possibly chaperone a trip to see the Drake women’s basketball team, I threw my name in the hat.

Oddly, I was selected (I never win anything) and oddly, his teacher didn’t mention the other 3,000 kids who were expected to be at the Knapp Center that day.

Now, these kids in my son’s class are a complete riot. I met many of them at their Halloween party and again when I visited to speak to them about my job at the newspaper. By the time Thursday rolled around, I was feeling pretty at ease with spending the day with them, so much so I thought I would razz my son about it.

“Hey buddy, do you have a pen on you in case any of your friends

at school want my autograph?” I asked him.

“Mom — you’re not that cool,” he said.

Well, he certainly doesn’t think I’m that cool, but several of his classmates do. That’s one of the great things about taking part in your kids’ school activities — instant celebrity.

I’ve found that school children will ask you about anything from your favorite color to where you bought your pants. They are in your face and inquisitive and almost every single one of them wants to sit by you.

One young lady in my son’s class is truly hilarious. She told me last week she has five brothers.

“It gets annoying,” she said.

I hear you, girl. I have one brother and it’s still annoying even as an adult.

Prior to our departure from the school, I was struck with some anxiety. The kids returned from a bathroom break with some big news — barf in the hall.

I mean, I know it happens, and

I felt bad for the poor kid. But it was one week until Christmas.

How could I have put my health in jeopardy like that? Surely I was insane for volunteering to spend time with a great number of these little germ-infested creatures.

My next wave of anxiety hit aboard the school bus. I don’t believe I’ve ridden a school bus since high school, and I don’t really remember them being quite so terrifying. As it turns out, going down the interstate at 70 mph with a bunch of unbuckled kids flailing about makes me a bit uncomfortable. I once again thought of seatbelt laws. Why is it again that school buses don’t have seat belts?

Once we arrived at Drake, I learned in was “Pack the Knapp” day — and they were packing it almost completely full of school kids. Much to my delight, I was only in charge of five of them, including one offspring.

Truth be told, we had a blast.

There was a lot of shoe tying, bathroom breaks, opening of food containers and questions about

basketball. We also sang and danced as part of the Character Counts program that was affiliated with the game. The Bulldogs put on a tremendous show with a 102-58 victory. You should have heard those kids scream when the women surpassed 100 points.

These days there are a lot of fun and games when you attend a ball game. The jumbotron featured the “fan cam” and the “mustache cam” and the “Santa hat cam.” Those were all kinds of fun.

What is still deafening is when it featured the words “MAKE SOME NOISE.” Just consider what 3,000 children making some noise sounds like. I couldn’t help but plug my ears.

In all, it was a great day with a great bunch of kids. I’m pretty sure my little guy was happy to have me along — I received two “I love yous” on the way home from the game. He even said I was “kind of cool.”

Eye on America

Governing vs. giving

Another View

More Iowa students at Iowa colleges There’s been much recent public discussion about the best way to allocate state funding for our three public universities.

If the goal is ensuring Iowa high school graduates can get their college education in Iowa then I strongly support it, but I think there’s an alter- Robert Ray native and very efficient way to reach the goal of keeping Iowa students in Iowa. Increase funding for the Iowa Tuition Grant program.

If you’re not familiar with the Iowa Tuition Grant (ITG), here’s a basic description. Students from Iowa who meet the financial need criteria are eligible for a grant, which they can use at any private, nonprofit college or university in the state. The schools have to match the grant with their own financial aid.

I signed the original legislation creating the ITG program

on April 30, 1969. The purpose was to provide the broadest opportunities for Iowa students to get a great college education in Iowa. Signing the bill, I knew we’d be expanding Iowa students’ ability to choose from among our excellent Iowa private colleges and universities. I was also confident that this was a great financial opportunity for our state. Here’s why: -Low cost. The ITG is a small fraction of state spending on education. Iowa spends more than $3.5 billion in state tax money each year supporting education, K-12 and college. Only 1.3 percent of that total, roughly $48 million, supports the ITG. • Leverage. Private colleges and universities have to match the ITG grants their students receive. Each year, these private schools also generate $450 million in private financial aid for their students. That’s 9 times what the state appropriation is for the ITG program.

• Dollars targeted to need.

The ITG is only for students who have financial need. Stu-

dents have to meet the financial eligibility requirements to qualify, so these dollars are targeted where they are the most acutely needed.

• Accessibility. The combination of the ITG, federal grants and the hundreds of millions in private financial aid make private colleges and universities an affordable option for Iowa students from across the financial spectrum.

• Quality. The ITG provides 15,000 students each year with access to very high quality educational experiences at exceptional Iowa institutions with very high post-graduation placement rates.

Increased funding for the Iowa Tuition Grant program will provide more opportunities for more Iowa students to attend high quality, Iowa colleges and universities. That’s why I signed the ITG into law 45 years ago and why it’s still a great idea today.

Robert D. Ray served as Governor of Iowa from 1969-1983. He also served as President of Drake University in 1998.

It’s the season for giving.

That doesn’t mean it’s the season for government.

Government creates loyalty in the minds of citizens by pretending to be Santa Claus, doling out gifts By John Stossel and favors. Politicians claim they help those unfortunates who aren’t helped by coldhearted capitalism.

The truth is, government gets in the way of charity, making it harder for people to help others and for the poor to help themselves. It also gets in the way of commerce, which is what really makes people better off.

When I was in college, President Lyndon Johnson declared “an allout war on human poverty. ... For the first time in our history, it’s possible to conquer poverty.”

I believed him. But then I watched government poverty programs fail. America spent trillions of your dollars on the poor, and the poor stayed poor.

Actually, the poverty rate did fall after the “War on Poverty” began. But it had already been falling prior to initiation of welfare. Sadly, the poverty rate stopped falling about seven years after Johnson’s programs began, mostly because government handouts encouraged people to be dependent.

Simple capitalism does much more for poor people. On my show this week, Marian Tupy, editor of HumanProgress. org, speculates on why people don’t appreciate that.

“Our minds evolved tens of thousands of years ago when we lived in small groups of between 50-200 people,” Tupy said. “We would go out, kill game, bring it back, share it.” The idea of everyone getting an equal

share still makes us feel warm and cozy.

“Some of the anti-capitalist impulse goes back to that hunter-gatherer mentality and not comprehending the complexity of the market economy,” Tupy said. “The complexity outpaced our ability to understand it.

But even those who don’t understand markets should open their eyes and acknowledge its benefits: World-wide, wherever economic freedom is allowed, millions of people have lifted themselves out of stoop labor and miserable poverty.

Of course, not everyone can reap the benefits of markets. The sick, the mentally ill and other truly helpless people need a hand.

But why assume government must provide that help? Government doesn’t do anything very well. Why not let private charity handle it?

I once assumed there was too much poverty for private charity to make much of a difference. But now I realize there is plenty of money, and private charity would do much more if government didn’t discourage it.

When the welfare state took over poverty relief, it crowded out “mutual aid” societies that the poor ran for themselves.

They were like a cross between private unemployment insurance and “moose” or “elks” lodges that encouraged members to help each other out.

They were better at helping the poor because their members, unlike government poverty workers, were free to make judgments about who deserved help and who didn’t.

Today, there are fewer mutual aid societies because people say, “Why do it myself when we already have giant welfare bureaucracies? My taxes pay for Obamacare, food stamps, housing vouchers and so on. I’ll let the professionals handle it.”

But those “professionals” do a poor job.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Dec. 22, 2014

Lonely soldier must reach out to others for comfort DEAR ABBY: I am a soldier in Afghanistan who is single with few friends, if you would even call them that. We work 24/7. No days off, no breaks. It’s not an easy life. You would not believe how nice it is to receive a message from family or friends.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a loving family who support me and everything I do. When I first got here, I’d get a message from them at least once a week.

But now that I am seven months into a 12-month deployment, it has been almost two months since I have gotten anything.

Now, I know if I reach out and send a message — which I have done — I’ll get replies, but am I wrong for not wanting to have to do that? Is it wrong to wish that I could come in, relax, and find a message waiting for me? I know they love me and are busy with their lives, but sometimes it seems that I am forgotten. It would be comforting to know someone is thinking about me. Any day now could be my last.

— DEPLOYED SOLDIER DEAR DEPLOYED SOLDIER: Because you’re feeling lonely and forgotten, it’s important to let your family and friends back home know how you feel.

They are not mind readers. You say you heard from them in the early months of your deployment. But have you reached out to them recently? If you haven’t, they may assume you are being kept so busy that you are unable to stay in touch with them. The surest way to get what you need is to communicate — and that applies to more situations in life than this one.

DEAR ABBY: I am a senior in high school in Texas. Everyone has decided which college they want to go to and what they want to be. I have no clue. It is frustrating, because when adults ask what my plans for the future are and I say I don’t know, they look at me like I’m stupid.

I feel 18 years isn’t long enough to figure all that out. I am an introvert, and I would really like to open up a cute little cafe in New York when I am older. But

every time I tell someone this is what I’d like to do, they ask how I’m going to make money at it. They’re right — I can’t make a living off a coffee shop, especially with the high cost of living in New York.

I’m lost and don’t know what to do.

I have less than a year to figure things out, and it’s starting to stress me. Please give me some advice. I need a friend. — LOST IN TEXAS DEAR LOST: You not only need a friend, you also need a counselor to help you find direction. If there isn’t one at your school, consider discussing this with a career counselor at a nearby university or community college. Some courses in business administration would be valuable for you so you can learn the nuts and bolts about running a business and avoid common mistakes that might cause yours to fail.

Some classes in commercial cooking would also be helpful. If there isn’t a trade school nearby that offers them, consider working for a year or two in the restaurant industry to see how it functions. Many of the best chefs in the world started out that way, and you will learn quickly if this is something you really want to pursue.

P.S. Being an introvert doesn’t have to stop you, if you partner with someone who’s a people person to work the front of the shop and teach you the art of “schmoozing.”

Rick Perry to attend conservative summit in Iowa DES MOINES — Texas Gov. Rick Perry will attend a conservative summit in Iowa next month.

Jeff Marschner, a spokesman for the conservative group Citizens United, said Sunday that Perry will attend the Iowa Freedom Summit on Jan. 24 in Des Moines. The event is being sponsored by Citizens United and Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa.

Perry is weighing a 2016 presidential bid and has made many visits to the early voting state over the past year.

Man dies after accidentally shooting himself in face DES MOINES — A 22-year-old man is dead after police say he accidentally shot himself in the face inside a Des Moines apartment.

KCCI reports the incident happened shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday.

According to police reports, investigators believe Fabiano Aguiniga accidentally shot himself with a shotgun while five other people were in the apartment.

Witnesses reported seeing Aguiniga handling a shotgun just before the fatal shot.

5 Authorities place 4 disabled men in protective care

DES MOINES — Four former employees of a Texas company that was ordered to pay millions for mistreating mentally disabled workers in Iowa have been placed in protective care in South Carolina.

The New York Times reports the former Henry’s Turkey Service employees had spent years living in a dilapidated Newberry, South Carolina, bunkhouse.

—The Associated Press

Supporters wonder about Iowa Juvenile Home’s future The Associated Press WATERLOO — The future of the former Iowa Juvenile Home facility in Toledo remains murky, and questions about how the state will care for delinquent girls linger.

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports supporters of the 27-acre facility hope the state will decide soon what to do with it, but lawsuits related to the closure of the juvenile home complicate the situation.

“It’s sitting there like a ghost town, and it’s a sad, sad situation, but there’s not much we can do at this point,” said Toledo resident Bill Skow, who helped establish a foundation that sup-

ported the juvenile home.

The Iowa Juvenile Home closed in January after questions were raised about the treatment of teenagers, including use of isolation cells and a lack of educational opportunities.

But a year ago, the facility housed 21 youths and employed 93 staff members.

Without the Iowa Juvenile Home, the state lacks a facility to care for delinquent girls who have committed crimes. Iowa does continue to operate a home for delinquent boys in Eldora.

The lack of a facility for girls is a concern for Chelsea Reasoner, who lived at the Iowa Juvenile Home for part of her childhood.

“I would say that now, especially since it’s closed, there’s a severe lack of a facility like that in Iowa,” said Reasoner, 18. “There definitely needs to be something as serious and as well organized as the juvenile home for youth.”

Reasoner said her time at the home helped get her ready to study psychology and early childhood education at Des Moines Area Community College.

The state’s public employees’ union and four lawmakers sued over Republican Gov. Terry Branstad’s decision to close the facility.

The case is now waiting to be argued before the Iowa Supreme Court.

That pending lawsuit

“It’s sitting there like a ghost town, and it’s a sad, sad situation, but there’s not much we can do at this point.”

— Bill Skow, Toledo resident

makes it difficult to move forward with plans for the buildings and land in Toledo, but area leaders hope a solution can be found soon.

“If it’s never going to be open again for a girls’ facility, I think we need to utilize the buildings and grounds that the taxpayers have already paid for,” said Iowa Sen. Steve Sodders, a State Center Democrat.

Iowa Rep. Dean Fisher,

a Garwin Republican, said he thinks it’s unlikely the facility will be a juvenile home again, but he believes it could serve as a Bible college campus or something else.

“It’s not going to happen, politically,” Fisher said.

“I’ve been around that loop several times, and it became very clear that isn’t what it’s going to be. It needs to be something else.”

The AmericInn Newton has announced a successful charity drive as part of the brand’s AmericInn Cares initiative.

During November the hotel joined other AmericInn properties nationwide, in partnership with Give Kids the World, to help raise funds and awareness for the nonprofit organization’s Ice Cream for Breakfast initiative. The staff welcomed Santa and Mrs. Claus to the property to help fill a toy box with donated toys and games.

“We want to thank everyone in our community for their generous support of these efforts,” said Teresa Meyer, general manager. “Thanks to the generosity of our guests, the community, as well as our staff, we were able to support this important cause and make a difference in the lives of sick children.”

Activities included fundraising, toy donations, manager’s receptions, veteran’s breakfasts and ice cream socials. During these events, AmericInn

was able to reach its highest donation total ever, raising more than enough to send two families to the Give Kids the World Village.

Give Kids the World fulfills the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses and their families, by providing fantasy vacations at its 70-acre “storybook” resort in Orlando, Fla. The partnership with Give Kids the World is part of AmericInn’s longstanding commitment to community involvement, which grew into its AmericInn Cares initiative in 2011. As part of AmericInn Cares, twice each year the company unites as a brand to support a single cause.

Past support has gone to military groups, including the Blue Star Mothers and Yellow Ribbon Network when more than 3,000 care packages were sent overseas; True Friends camps, when camp supply kits were assembled; and a children’s hospital, when fleece blankets, teddy bears and activity kits were made as part of the project.

Cardinal boys drop double overtime decision to Lions

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Going high for a defensive rebound is Newton’s Jordan Travis (30) in a home game earlier this season. Newton came up short in a non-conference battle Saturday against Des Moines Christian in Urbandale. The Lions outlasted the visiting Cardinals, 71-67, in double overtime.

Iowa State, Northern Iowa win Big Four Classic games DES MOINES (AP) — Touted Iowa State transfer Jameel McKay had to wait 665 days to play his first Division I game.

It took just 13 minutes to see why McKay might turn into an important player for the 13th-ranked Cyclones.

McKay had eight points and five rebounds in his debut with 13thranked Iowa State, which rolled to an 8354 victory over Drake on Saturday in the first game of the Big Four Classic.

Naz Long scored 13 points and Monte Morris had 12 for the Cyclones (9-1), who have won six in a row since a 72-63 loss to Maryland last month.

Iowa State pushed a 16-point halftime lead to as much as 35 in the second half. The Cyclones shot 12 of 23 from 3-point range and had 25 assists on 32 field goals.

Trevor Berkeley and Jacob Enevold each had 10 points for Drake (29).

Northern Iowa 56, Iowa 44 Paul Jesperson scored 10 points and Northern Iowa rallied to beat Iowa 56-44 in the Big Four Classic second game Saturday in Des Moines and improve to 10-1.

The Panthers held the Hawkeyes (8-4) to a season low in points and bounced back from their first loss of year, a 93-87 double-overtime defeat at VCU last week.

Northern Iowa opened the second half on a 16-3 run, and Matt Bohannon’s 3 with 2:02 left put Northern Iowa up 52-43.

Mike Gesell had 10 points to lead Iowa, which shot just 27.5 percent. The Hawkeyes finished non-conference play at 1-4 against fellow Power 5 schools and the Panthers, who entered play with an RPI of 25.

Iowa wilted early in the second half of losses to Texas and Iowa State.

The Hawkeyes crumbled yet again versus the Panthers.

URBANDALE — Not very often can a team feel good about a loss, but Newton High’s Cardinal boys can go into the holiday break with a bit of bounce despite losing Saturday night.

The Cardinals had to leave a disappointing Little Hawkeye Conference loss to host Dallas Center-Grimes Friday behind them quickly.

They were on the road again Saturday to take on a good Des Moines Christian team.

Newton wiped out a six-point third-quarter deficit to forge a 61-61 tie by the end of regulation against the Lions.

It took two extra periods of play to decide the non-conference game.

Des Moines Christian

and Newton were tied 63-63 after the first overtime, then the Lions outscored the Cardinals 8-4 to claim a 71-67 victory.

Tyler Wood ripped the nylons for five 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 24 points for Newton. He was 5-for-5 at the freethrow line.

Connor Gholson knocked down four 3-pointers, finishing with 16 points.

Des Moines Christian had four players in double-figure scoring. Keaton Van Soelen, who sank 8-of-10 free throws, scored 18 points.

Ben Juhl drained four 3-pointers for 16 points.

Thomas Kinley added 15 points and Noah Hart had 10 points.

The Lions cashed in 18-of-25 free throw attempts, while the Cardi-

Newton teams lose to DCG

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRIMES — Newton High’s Cardinal basketball teams fell to host Dallas Center-Grimes Friday in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

The Cardinal girls had trouble handling the pace set by Dallas Center-Grimes’ Fillies in the first half. The Fillies overwhelmed the visiting Cardinal girls quickly, leading 16-2 by the end of the first quarter. Dallas Center-Grimes was up 43-9 at halftime on its way to a 63-22 victory.

It was the inside game which gave the DCG Mustangs the winning edge on the Cardinal boys. Dallas Center-Grimes went inside steadily and its 6-foot-9-inch post player Austin Rix responded with 25 points in leading the Mustangs past the Cardinal boys 71-56.

Newton’s girls finished the first semester at 1-6. They are 1-1 in LHC action while the Fillies go to 2-1 in con-

ference play and 4-4 overall.

“They took it to us in the first half and we didn’t respond to it at all,” said Brandon Sharp, Newton girls’ head coach. “In the second half, we started to show glimpses of what Cardinal basketball is, but the hole was too big to dig out of.”

Michaela Jacobsen led the Cardinal girls with six points. Sydney Jenkins had five points and Taylor Moon scored four points. The Cardinals went 4-of-6 at the free-throw line.

The Fillies were led

by Allison O’Brien with 15 points and Jenna Borchers with 11 points. Dallas CenterGrimes had 10 players score two or more points in the game.

Newton’s boys were down 20-11 at the end of the first quarter and found themselves facing a 12-point halftime deficit, 37-25.

Balanced attack propels CMB girls to win over Colfax-Mingo

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Mikayla Eslinger scores two of her 13 points in the lane against ColfaxMingo on Friday night. Eslinger added eight rebounds in the Raiders’ 58-32 win.

nals we’re 10-of-14.

Newton is 3-3 overall going into the holiday break.

The Cardinal junior varsity rallied to claim a 53-43 win led

by Trey Vanderlaan with 20 points, hitting four 3-pointers. Garrett Sturtz fired in 13 points.

Newton’s freshmen captured a 32-29 win.

No individual scoring was available.

COLFAX — CollinsMaxwell/Baxter Brianda Bane has scored in double-figures in all but one game this season.

But what she has done in the last three games for the Raiders has easily been the most impressive stretch of the forward’s young career.

Bane totaled at least 20 points for the third straight night and her 21 points led four CMB players in double-figures during a 58-32 victory over Colfax-Mingo on Friday night during Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference action.

Bane also grabbed 12 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the year and added four assists and three blocks in her

first start of the season.

“I do like what she brings to the team off the bench with her energy, but her game has really matured over the past few games,” CMB coach Jamie Zabel said. “She is playing inside and attacking now, which is much different than how she played early in the season. Her post game is developing, and we need her to score a lot of points from the block.

She brings an extra level to our team when she is scoring in there.”

Bane started for the first time in her varsity career because the Raiders played without the services of Bridget Hurley, who left town with her family Friday afternoon to attend her sister’s graduation from the Art Institute of Chi-

cago this weekend.

Hurley is the team’s fourth leading scorer and second leading rebounder. But others stepped up in her place against the Tigerhawks (0-8, 0-7).

Mikayla Eslinger put in 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds, Lexi Breon collected 12 points, eight assists and three steals and Carter Larson tallied 10 points, six boards and three assists.

“Four players in double-figures is huge and that’s what we need to strive for every night,” Zabel said. “People did step up in (Bridget’s) place. Just because we are missing a starter doesn’t mean we get to go out and not do what BALANCED | 2B

CMB boys hold off Colfax-Mingo

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Ivy Moore scores two of her six points during the Tigerhawks’ loss to Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter on Friday. The Raiders led 18-8 after one quarter and cruised to the 58-32 win.

Balanced Continued from Page 1B we need to do.”

The Raiders scored the game’s first six points and led 18-8 after one quarter. The Tigerhawks kept it close in the second as McKeely Tjaden’s jumper made it a nine-point game before a Breon three-point play pushed CMB’s lead to 13 at the break.

Bane and Larson both hit a pair of buckets in the third and the 11-4 advantage for CMB extended its lead to 38-18 after three frames.

Colfax-Mingo tried to rally in the final period. The Tigerhawks scored 14 points, but the early deficit was too much to overcome.

“The third quarter has been rough lately,” Colfax-Mingo coach Michelle Grant said.

“We have been playing better, but we don’t have a lot of players so we are just getting fatigued in the second half.”

Sara Lahart scored eight points to lead the hosts, while Tjaden added seven and Ivy Moore put in six.

Despite the loss, Grant sees improvement in her team and said it starts and ends with confidence.

“The confidence is the big thing. Right now, we are getting confident in shooting the ball,”

Grant said. “Tonight, we did a great job of breaking the press. That didn’t bother us. We turned the ball over running our offense though.

We just need to shoot the ball. We can’t let an opportunity to shoot the ball go. I would rather them shoot the ball then turn it over on any universe. But I think we are getting close.”

The Raiders (2-8, 2-5) were 25-of-51 from the field and collected 52 rebounds in winning their second straight game.

“We could be 8-2 right now but we are not. We are 2-8,” Zabel said. “But we can still get to where we want to be. We can still win 10 conference games. We can still make a deep run in the tourney and make some noise.”

Fifty-six of CMB’s 58 points were scored

by Bane, Breon, Larson and Eslinger.

The other two were put in by Kathleen Baldwin.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The Prairie City-Monroe girls’ basketball team trailed by two points after one quarter but outscored Saydel 4930 over the final three quarters and dispatched of the Class 3A No. 13 Eagles 60-43.

The Mustangs’ three seniors led the charge once again.

Rachel Freland finished with 18 points, five rebounds and four blocks and Rachel Gulling chipped in a seasonhigh 14 in the victory.

Courtney VanHouweling added nine points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals as the Mustangs stayed unbeaten in Heart of Iowa Athletic

Conference play.

COLFAX — In the first four games of the season, CollinsMaxwell/Baxter’s Joey Nissen scored nine points and connected on just one 3-pointer.

But over the last four contests, the senior guard has caught fire.

Scoring in double-figures for the fourth consecutive game, Nissen guided the Raiders to a 53-50 victory over Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference rival Colfax-Mingo on Friday night.

He drilled five 3-pointers and scored a game-high 20 points as CMB held off an improving Tigerhawk squad that lost by three despite trailing by nine with 43 seconds to go in the game.

Nissen has connected on 15 3-pointers in the Raiders’ last four games.

“It’s starting to come to me.

We were all off the first couple of games and now we are starting to roll a little bit,” Nissen said.

“I am getting my confidence, and we are all starting to get things going together as a team, too.”

CMB never trailed but had a difficult time putting away the Tigerhawks in winning its third straight game.

“Three in a row is good going into Christmas break,” CMB coach Scott Brummel said. “I wish we would have finished a little better tonight. We got a 10-point lead and gave some of it back. We are getting some confidence though.”

The Raiders led by four after one quarter and at halftime and led by as many as 14 in the second half, but Colfax-Mingo wouldn’t go away quietly.

CMB jumped out to a 9-1 lead in the first quarter, but a pair of buckets by Colin Lourens and Jared Myers to start the second evened the score at 11-all.

The visitors again went up seven later in the quarter but only trailed by four at the break.

The lead grew to seven after three quarters and Nissen’s final trey of the night put the Raiders up 45-31.

That’s when Jacob Lietz got going for the Tigerhawks. The junior guard scored all 13 of his points in the final frame to help Colfax-Mingo rally back. His second triple of the frame made it a four-point deficit with 20 seconds to go and he hit a buzzer-beating layup to knock the final margin down to three.

“In terms of effort, I couldn’t be prouder of what the kids gave.

They came out against a very good CMB team and gave tremendous effort,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said. “We had all the looks that we wanted.

We took good shots. And when we start knocking down those shots and do a better job at the free throw line, maybe we can get over the hump one of these nights and be on top on that scoreboard.”

Colin Lourens finished with 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Tigerhawks (0-6, 0-6) while

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Bryce Kemp (25) scores two of his nine points against Colfax-Mingo duo Colin Lourens and Michael Deal (42) during the Raiders’ narrow 53-50 win in Colfax on Friday. Kemp added nine rebounds and Lourens finished with 12 points and 14 boards in the loss.

Myers scored 12 and Jarod Nichols chipped in nine. Lietz also grabbed seven rebounds and dished out a team-high five assists.

Colfax-Mingo was 11-of-19 from the foul line. CMB wasn’t much better at 12-of-19, but the Raiders hit enough down the stretch to keep the Tigerhawks in a deficit.

Seth Balke had 12 points for the Raiders, who are now 3-5 overall and 2-4 in Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play.

Bryce Kemp scored nine points and grabbed a team-best nine rebounds.

Nissen’s hot streak started with four triples and 12 points against Prairie City-Monroe and followed with a 16-point performance against Grand View Christian and another 10 against South Hamilton last Tuesday.

“From the outside, he’s been huge,” said Brummel of Nissen.

“We shoot too many 3-pointers, and our shot selection right now is iffy. But we don’t have a shot selection on him.

“When he sees one or two go in, then he stays on a run. He is now seeing those going in early and he’s been at the 2-4 number in the games. We give him the greenlight when he is hitting them.”

Both Brummel and Borts see things their squads need to work on over the holiday break.

Borts was happy with the way his team rebounded on the offensive end but needs to work on blocking out on the defensive end. Both teams had doubledigit offensive rebounds in the game.

“We did a really good of offensive rebounding but we are not blocking out and doing the same quality job on the defensive boards,” Borts said. “That’s one thing that we are lacking, and we need to shore that up over the break.”

Brummel also did not like the way his team rebounded at the defensive end. He also plans on straightening out his lineup and rotation during the two-week layoff.

Senior Tommy Galloway missed four days last week with an illness and did not play in the Dec. 16 win against South Hamilton.

Nissen started for Galloway for the second straight game Friday night, but who Brummel starts and how he uses his bench moving forward is something he plans on working out before the team resumes play on Jan. 6 against Roland-Story.

“It’s good to get a win and still learn from it,” Brummel said.

“There are some glaring things that need to be sorted out over the break. And we have to find a way to use our bench more.”

CMB 11-14-10-18—53 Colfax-Mingo 7-14-7-22—50 CMB (FG/3pt/FT/F/TP) — Nissen 5-5-5-220, Galloway 2-0-0-1-4, Balke 3-0-6-2-12, Gunderson 0-0-0-1-0, Kemp 4-0-1-3-9, Stover 1-0-0-2-2, Ritter 0-0-0-1-0, Girard 3-0-0-1-6.

Quick start pushes PCM boys to win over Saydel

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Logan Gilman scored 22 points and grabbed six rebounds and Ricky Reeve added 14 points, five steals and four rebounds as the Mustangs won their fourth straight game with ease, 5438, over Saydel in Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play.

PCM (6-2, Gilman 5-1) led 14-3 after one and 24-6 at the break.

Saydel outscored the Mustangs 32-30 in the final 16 minutes.

“It was a better first half than second half,” PCM coach Fred Lorensen said. “We guarded really well that first half. There was not much Saydel could do.”

Tyler Townsend scored nine

points for the Mustangs, while Trey Lindsay dished out six assists as PCM overcame a 4-for17 night from behind the 3-point line. The Mustangs did make 21-of-49 from the floor.

“We are getting better every night and are getting closer to where we want to be,” Lorensen said.

PCM 69, Knoxville 38 MONROE — Lindsay The Mustangs tallied their fifth straight win Saturday when they pounded Knoxville in non-conference action.

One night after hitting just 1-of-9 from the floor, Lindsay drilled four 3-pointers and scored a career-high 25 points.

Lindsay pulled down seven rebounds, dished out four as-

sists and had five steals, as well, as PCM improved to 6-2 on the year.

Lindsay now leads the entire state with 38 steals.

Gilman scored 17 points, grabbed eight boards and delivered four assists for the Mustangs, who led 23-10 after one quarter and 47-24 at halftime.

Reeve also finished in doublefigures, scoring 10 points with six assists and six steals.

The Mustangs were 7-of-19 from long range overall and buried 8-of-12 from the line.

They had 15 steals and assisted on 19 of their 27 made buckets.

PCM returns to action on January 6 when it faces Nevada in Monroe at the back end of a girl-boy doubleheader that tips off at 6 p.m.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re sure of yourself and won’t be inclined to discuss your position or direction. When you don’t expect anything, you will be able to recognize and welcome what comes, which isn’t bad at all!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 22). You are intrigued by the kind of danger that doesn’t risk your safety or health, just your emotions and ego. A daring leap into the unknown pays off in January. February brings the happy close of a process. Choose your team and go forward in March — your success will depend on how closely you follow your instincts. Aries and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 11, 24 and 11.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). They will try to control you, but don’t let them. Though you are an integral part of a team, you are also free to act as an individual, beholden to no one but yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s very possible that you’ve surrounded yourself with narcissists.

Therefore, don’t expect them to see what you’ve done. Don’t wait for them to notice your accomplishments, big or small.

Privately acknowledge and praise yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You find it very easy to be patient when you’re reasonably sure you’ll get your way in the end.

However, when you’re unsure about the outcome, it is very difficult to wait around.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

Therefore, do not aim for perfection. Do your best, and let it be.

It will be a day of reversals. Men will act like little children, and little children will act like men. You can’t predict the outcome, but you can choose the journey.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Because of the strains of your profession and/ or the criticism to which you are so often exposed, it will be important to actively seek to reduce your stress. You deserve some comfort.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Your creativity is a precious gift. It comes so easily to you that you don’t realize what’s needed to keep it going strong. A stable home life is important to the balance.

Sports NHS bowlers knock down Oskaloosa

8B |

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Winding up bowling action before the holiday break, Newton High’s Cardinal teams delivered Little Hawkeye Conference dual wins on their home lanes Saturday. The Cardinal girls and boys marked up wins over visiting Oskaloosa.

Newton’s boys have won four duals in a row, which includes two at home last week. The Cardinal boys knocked down 2,539 pins Saturday on the alleys at Cardinal Lanes. Oskaloosa’s Indians had 2,372.

“The boys have bowled very consisted to open the season. Our pin count has been in the 2500s from meet to meet,” said Brett Jacobs, Newton bowling head coach. “Shea Carre was our top bowler with a 408. He averaged 204.”

Carre opened with a 217 game and came back with a 191 for his 408 total to lead the Cardinal boys. Shaiden Simmons rolled a 162 in his first game, then had a 200 for a 362. Nick VerSteeg threw a 207 in the first round of individual games, finishing

with a 359 total.

Alex Bare also put up a 359 (160-199) and Payton Cox had a 317 (159-158) for the final scoring total. Reid Miller had a 274 (123-151).

Newton’s boys led Oskaloosa 1,805-1,591 heading into the Baker games. The Indians had a good Baker game total of 781 pins, but the Cardinals had a 734-pin count on games of 164160-126-157-127 to win the dual.

Erica Bailey turned in the top performance of the meet for the Newton girls. Bailey had games of 181 and 176 for a top score of 357. Jacobs said she averaged 178.

“The girls’ total pin count was down from previous meets, but we still managed to come out on top,” Jacobs said of Newton girls’ win of 2,2931,936 over Oskaloosa.

The Cardinal girls were up 1,491-1,301 following the individual games. They owned the Baker games also, 802635. Newton’s Baker game scores were 159173-147-173-150.
