REG to break ground on $13.2M upgrade Tuesday

By Bob EschlimanDaily News Editor

Members of the media, community leaders, vendors and industry partners will gather Tuesday morning at REG Newton to break ground on a new $13.2 million upgrade to the plant.

Once the upgrade is com-pleted, the REG facility, located at 3426 E. 28th St. N. in New-ton, will have distillation capa-bilities. Currently, the 30 mil-lion gallon nameplate facility, built in 2006, produces biodiesel

Authorities see increase in thefts, burglaries

By Daily News Staff

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office has re-ceived an usually high number of theft and bur-glary reports within the last month, according to a news release from the sheriff ’s office.

The thefts are occurring at all hours; how-ever, recent information suggests homes are being targeting during the day while resi-dents are at work.

The most recent event occurred while a subject was inside of her home with the doors locked. Two males came to the door, knocked loudly and then tried to enter the home by walking around the house and checking each door to see if they were unlocked.

“We consider this activity suspicious and ask that you call the sheriff ’s office immedi-ately if someone is trying to break into your home,” stated Lt. Aaron E. Groves in the news release. “Additionally, if you recognize any vehicles in your neighborhood as suspi-cious, we ask that you call the sheriff ’s office with a vehicle description and a license plate number if possible.”

Recently stolen items include ATVs, UTVs, a skid loader, tools, tractor batteries, money and large amounts of copper wire, most of which has been taken from grain bins.

“The sheriff ’s office is asking for the pub-lic’s help in identifying potential suspects who are committing these thefts and bur-glaries,” Groves stated in the release. “Any information you can provide to help identity suspects or the location of stolen property would be beneficial to the sheriff ’s office and the overall safety and welfare of the citizens of Jasper County.”

RRACAP asking supervisors to continue use of office in county annex building

By Ty Rushing Daily News Staff Writer

The Red Rock Area Community Action Program will be seeking sup-port from the Jasper County Board of Supervisors at Tuesday’s meeting.

RRACAP’s Jasper Coordinator Amy Hansen will be the representative for the program. In lieu of financial support, which it has received in the past, RRACAP is asking the board to continue to allow it to use office space in the county annex building rent free.

In a letter submitted to the board, Hansen spoke on how essential the space is for RRACAP.

“The space granted to us by the county is conveniently located, and we appreciate the fact that we don’t have to pay rent,” Hansen wrote. “The ad-dition of (a) door and window to our office has allowed us to create a wait-ing room and provide for increased

confidentiality for our clients. We are grateful for the time and financing al-lotted for this project.”

RRACAP provides financial and other types of assistance to low-in-come individuals and families in its five county outreach area. According to RRACAP, they provided assistance to 2,393 individuals and 1,023 house-holds in Jasper County in 2013.

County Engineer Russ Stutt will ask the board to approve a resolution to set a public meeting for the Sec-ondary Road Departments five-year plan. Stutt is suggesting a date of Feb. 25, at 1 p.m. in room 203 of Jasper County Courthouse.

The five-year plan itself details po-tential road and bridge construction and repaving projects in the county.

Martina ‘Tina’ Healy

Jan. 25, 2014

Martina “Tina” Healy of Ames, for-merly a long-time resi-dent of Newton, passed away Jan. 25, 2014 from a sudden illness. She was 86 years old. Services will be on Friday, Feb. 7, at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 2210 Lincoln Way, Ames. Visitation will be from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. followed by a rosary at 2:30 p.m. with a fu-neral mass at 3 p.m.

Tina was born Sept. 1, 1927 to Martin and Mary Elizabeth Lyvers in Creve Coeur, Mo. She was the youngest of six children, who all pre-ceded her in death. Tina moved with her family when she was 10 years old from the St. Louis area to Monterey, Calif. Her mother, Elizabeth, though not a musician herself, required all of

her children to play in-struments. Tina and her sister, Bernadine, were prodigious musicians who turned professional when Tina was 14. Tina and her sister taught guitar and banjo and performed regularly at USO events during the years of World War II. More than once, they were called to “open” on the big-band stage for “Les Brown and His Band of Renown.”

On Oct. 20, 1951, Tina married Paul L. Healy in Monterey, Ca-lif. Paul was then sta-tioned at the Army

School of Language at the Presidio. After his service and discharge, they made their home in his hometown of New-ton. Tina worked as a radio announcer for sta-tion KCOB and was a switchboard operator for Parsons Company, both in Newton.

She earned her pi-lot’s license in 1955 and shortly thereafter became president of the Iowa Chapter of the “99’s’’, the International Organiza-tion of Women Pilots (at a time when female pi-lots were relatively few).

In 1967, Tina was hired as an assistant man-ager of the newly built Holiday Inn in Newton. In the years following, she became general man-ager of that hotel and successively, GM of sev-eral other hotel proper-ties in the state of Iowa, before retiring in 1997. After retirement, she traveled extensively be-fore moving to Ames,

where she had lived for the past eight years.

She has three chil-dren, Bryan Healy, Christopher Healy and Paula (Healy) Fried-erich. Her daughters-in-law are Cindy Healy, Barbara Healy and her son-in-law is James Frie-derich. She also has ten grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

We will all miss her. She made us all better.

In lieu of flowers, do-nations may be made either to the “Love Your Neighbor” fund at St. Thomas Aquinas, a char-ity which provides direct, temporary financial as-sistance to local families in need or to the Na-tional Multiple Sclerosis Society. Adams Funeral Home in Ames is as-sisting the family with arrangements. Condo-lences and photos may be shared at www.adams-soderstrum.com.

Margaret I. Eurom

Jan. 30, 2014

Margaret I. Eurom, 93, of Grinnell died Thursday, Jan. 30, 2014, at St. Fran-cis Manor in Grinnell.

A celebration of her life will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 3, 2014, at the Smith Funeral Home in Grinnell. Burial will be held at Rose Hill Memo-rial Gardens in Marshall-town.

Visitation will be from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014, with the family will be present from 2 to 4 p.m. at the fu-neral home.

Memorial contribu-tions may be directed to the Kellogg United Methodist Church or St. Francis Manor in Grin-nell.

Margaret was born on June 9, 1920, to Er-nest and Harriet Landon Coleman, near Zearing, Iowa. She attended coun-try schools and then grad-uated from Zearing High School.

On July 23, 1940, she was united in marriage to W.D. “Jack” Eurom in

Bethany, Mo. The couple farmed near St. Anthony, Iowa, before moving to State Center in 1945. In 1955, the couple then made their home in Kel-logg and farmed until their retirement in 1975. Mar-garet moved to Grinnell in 2008 and for the past two years has lived at St. Fran-cis Manor in Grinnell.

She was a very ac-tive member of the Kel-logg United Methodist Church and the Meth-odist Women. Margaret’s life revolved around the church and was involved with many aspects of the church. Her faith was strong and she left an im-pression on everyone. She was a chairperson for the Ice Cream Social, taught Sunday school, and drove people to and from the

church functions. Margaret enjoyed her

flower garden and took great pride in her roses and irises. She did all the sewing for her family and also quilted and cro-cheted. She liked reading her Bible and the Upper Room Booklet. There were always frozen choc-olate chip cookies and birthday pies for her fam-ily. She excelled at being a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother and she was extremely proud of her family.

Margaret is survived by her three children; Beverly (Gordon) Stepp of Grin-nell, Shirley (Bill) Kin-naird of Grimes and Gary (Nina) Eurom of Des Moines; three grandchil-dren, Scott (Missy) Stepp, Stacy (Scott) Cook and Nick Kinnaird; three great grandchildren, Kelsey Price, Jake Dunsbergen and Dylan Cook; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; three brothers; Orville, Russell and Clyde Coleman; and two sisters, Luella Crain and Ruth Moody.

Iowan says he stole vehicle to save his life

DES MOINES (AP) — An 18-year-old Des Moines man has told police he stole a vehicle and drove it to Mercy Medical Center because he feared for his life.

The man was robbed Saturday night by a 16-year-old acquaintance and then shot in a leg after the robber told him to run. The man continued to flee until he saw a running vehicle parked on the side of a street. The wounded man got in and drove himself to the hospital.

This was the first full week of com-mittee meetings in the General As-sembly. In addition, multiple groups of citizens con-verged on the Capitol to lobby for their desired objectives.

In the eve-nings, receptions were held by eight different organizations to showcase their legislative agen-das, meet con-stituents and listen to talks from or-ganization leaders making a case for their issues. One special reception each year is that of Hy-Vee.

They really don’t direct their recep-tion to any plea for legislation, but rather the CEO will address the hun-dreds present with a focus on Iowa’s economy, the progress of Hy-Vee, breadth of their community involve-ment in giving to essential causes, and future plans for growth both in and out-of-state.

Did you know that the new Wau-kee Hy-Vee has slightly more than 600 employees? Truly amazing!

Our full Appropriations Commit-tee was honored with a presentation from the governor’s director of the Department of Management. David Roederer, the budget director, pre-sented a PowerPoint on the governor’s budget for FY2014-15.

Gov. Branstad’s recommended budget to the legislature was shown on a pie chart and caught the atten-tion of all. It showed that spending for Education (Pre-school through 12; regents’ institutions; community colleges; books and transportation for private schools), totaled 55 percent; Health and Human Services was pro-posed at 28 percent; and the Judiciary came in at 10 percent. These three items add up to 93 percent, and thus all remaining General Fund spending for state government agencies totals 7 percent (Department of Transporta-tion excluded).

I had to ask if the figures were ac-curate, for if so, its little wonder the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture com-bined are simply a lines-width on the large pie chart (less than one-half of one percent). And thus, it is easy to understand why so little can be ac-complished by these agencies in the area of soil and water conservation and natural resource management and protection.

Absolutely pitiful, and a sad, sad commentary for a state that once prided itself with a pristine natural environment in which to live and raise a family. Hopefully, this illustrates the reason why I’m writing my own bud-get for these two departments, rather than waiting to receive a maximum figure from the Appropriations chair.

I know what it takes to make prog-ress with saving our soil and improv-ing water quality, and my budget will reflect that position. If not accepted by other legislators, at least I’ve done my job.

An update for readers regarding the Emerald Ash Borer: The Waterloo mayor advised Sen. Bill Dotzler this past week that several infested trees have been found in that community. It’s getting closer to central Iowa, and I would surmise that it is already here.

Readers with a computer, please Google “Emerald Ash Borer.” You need to see how to identify the en-try passage into the white, green and black ash species. Once infested, nothing can be done to save the tree.

This is why I’m urging every home-owner with ash trees to plant addi-tional trees in hir or her yard in early spring. Specie selection can be deter-mined from the Iowa DNR website, or contact me by any means below for my personal recommendation.

During the session, call me at (515) 281-3371; write me at the Senate, Capitol Building, Des Moines, 50319; or e-mail dennis.black@legis.iowa.gov. I value your thoughts and opin-ions.

Steve Wilson shined his bright LED cap-light around the edge of the Mount Pleasant pond. He could see where reeds were bent, a good hiding place for “Stormy,” the “broken-w i n g e d ” goose.

T h e r e Stormy was.

Tra in ing the light on him, Steve knew the goose was blinded and wouldn’t move. Wearing hip boots, Steve waded into the shallow wa-ter and carefully picked Stormy up, holding him so he couldn’t flap.

He took Stormy to the people who had named him and who had called Steve to come and attempt a rescue. Stormy was so named because he was first seen during a storm, and was constantly being ha-rassed by kids and dogs.

Steve showed the people that Stormy’s wing wasn’t broken, but deformed by a developmental dis-order called “Angel Wing,” where the tip of the folded wing turns out. He also noted that Stormy was an Egyptian Goose, probably released by local people.

There was nothing that could be done for the deformed wing now, but Steve agreed to take care of Stormy.

Around Southeast Iowa, Steve Wilson is known as “The Bird Man.”

A visit to Steve and Joy Wilson’s rural home near Oakland Mills

is quite an adventure. Not only is Stormy well cared for, but also Amy, a Canada goose, and Buddy, a trum-peter swan.

Steve Wilson is a licensed game breeder. Buddy, the trumpeter swan, was part of Steve Wilson’s raise-and-release project, except that Buddy, the “odd man out,” refused to fly away. Buddy became infatuat-ed with Steve’s wife, Joy, and views Steve as competition (I’m serious).

Consequently, Buddy drives Steve away from Joy — he’s a watch-swan. Steve and Joy take Buddy to school demonstrations and wetland restoration talks. Buddy follows right along behind.

Amy, the Canada goose, was hatched, deformed, on their door-step. She couldn’t walk. Joy taped Amy’s feet apart and made braces for her legs. Amy also follows them around the farm.

The grand sight at Wilson’s farm, however, is the pond behind their house. It is not a large pond, but in the winter the Wilsons feed thou-sands of migratory Canada geese, a hundred ducks, and three trumpeter swans.

The flocks split time between feeding on corn at the pond, en-joying the open water, algae and grit below the spillway at Oakland Mills, and gathering waste grain from surrounding fields.

When Steve, 65, was a boy, there were no geese on the Skunk River at Oakland Mills, and trumpeter swans were extinct in Iowa. Steve got to work with friends and con-servation officials to start raise-and-release programs, wetland restora-tion projects, and rebuilding habitat

breeding pools. He founded the Sanctuary Wet-

lands Association, and has been a member of the Trumpeter Swan Society, and the International Wild Waterfowl Association, among oth-ers.

Steve and Joy have purchased some land for wildfowl sanctuar-ies, including a small lake that was formed from a DOT borrow pit — where soil was removed and used in highway construction. Steve has named it “Joy Lake” after his wife.

During the winter, the Skunk River at Oakland Mills is alive with ducks, geese and, yes, trumpeter swans. Eagles circle overhead and roost in trees along the river. This year, 10 trumpeter swans were regu-lar visitors at Oakland Mills — nine adults and one grayling.

With severe cold temperatures, the ducks and geese huddle on the ice to conserve energy.

Steve Wilson’s purple truck can be seen traveling up and down the roads along waterways and feeding grounds in Southeast Iowa. Some-times he sets on a hilltop and counts the flocks that fly overhead between Oakland Mills and his pond.

On a busy day, he’ll count more than 2,000 birds. There’s nothing more beautiful than that, for The Bird Man — saving waterfowl one flock at a time, or one bird at a time.

This past week in the Iowa House, representatives were busy vetting the various pieces of legis-lation in their respective sub-c o m m i t t e e hearings. Dur-ing this pro-cess, the bill that grabbed the most at-tention during the week was House Study Bill 514, a bill which would increase the state’s gasoline tax over the next three years.

Interestingly enough is the fact that this gas tax hike is being led by some House Republicans. What’s even more ironic is the location of this particular subcommittee hear-ing.

Of all the meeting places in the Capitol, the 5-0 vote, which advanc-es this bill to the full Transportation Committee, occurred in Room 19, the Ronald Reagan Room. I’m sure our 40th President, a man known for his stand on lower taxes and less government, would not have been pleased with a movement led by Republicans to raise taxes in a room that was meant to honor his legacy.

No one, myself included, argues the desperate need to maintain and fix our highway infrastructure, farm-to-market roads, and bridges on secondary roads. As someone who works in the agricultural sec-tor, I know firsthand the frustration of having to make detours frequent-ly on secondary roads because the bridges I need to cross are not safe to support the weight of my equip-ment.

I also understand what it means to get stuck in the spring mud on a “gravel” road with a loaded 30-foot

gooseneck trailer on behind and no way to turn around. However, rais-ing the gas tax is not the best solu-tion to fixing these two scenarios.

There are several reasons why I do not believe the gas tax hike is the best option. One of the major obstacles is the TIME-21 formula that the increased revenue would have to filter through.

With the gas tax increase, the heaviest burden would be borne by people in the smaller, more ru-ral counties (what I call the “com-muter counties”). While at the same time, the five most populous coun-ties in the state (these are typically the same counties that the people in the “commuter counties” are com-muting to) would receive an unfair amount of benefit from the pro-ceeds of this hike.

There is also the issue of the funding not reaching our critical in-frastructure needs in a timely fash-ion. If this gas tax hike were to pass, the full “benefit” of it would not be realized until at least four years from now.

Several alternate proposals have been offered in lieu of raising the gas tax. One such proposal in the Senate would take 2 percent from the General Fund and distribute it using the pre-TIME-21 formula, so that more money is funneled to our counties’ most critical needs.

I plan to introduce the compan-ion to this bill in the Iowa House.

Another alternative would take a half-penny of sales tax and dedicate it to the highway infrastructure. Yet another proposal would legalize the sale of fireworks in the state and dedicate the new source of tax rev-enue to our roads and bridges.

The point is that these propos-als would generate new funding streams for infrastructure without raising taxes and placing an even

heavier burden on hardworking Io-wans. Unfortunately, these alternate proposals have not been given much consideration.

The Legislature is charged with the task of making tough budgeting decisions, just like any other Iowa family or business does in order to make ends meet. This is a time for addressing the steady, consistent, gradual growth of the state’s bud-get and government; and for doing what we can to alleviate the cost of the heavy burden which our bloat-ed state bureaucracy places on the backs of Iowa taxpayers.

Raising the gas tax, little as it may seem, is like turning up the heat on the proverbial frog in the pan of water.

If you place a frog in a pan of boiling water, he will immediately jump out. But if you put that same frog in a pan of lukewarm water and steadily increase the temperature, he will adjust to the gradual change and become accustomed to it. By the time the frog realizes that he has been boiled alive, it’s too late.

This coming week on Friday, Feb. 7, I will be hosting town hall forums in Knoxville at Tasos’ Restaurant at 4 p.m. and at the Sully Community Center at 7 p.m.

Please feel free to contact me with your issues or concerns as they arise. You may do so either by phone at (515) 281-3221, e-mail at greg.heartsill@legis.iowa.gov or when visiting the Capitol. I appre-ciate and welcome your comments and feedback.

Also, if you would like to sub-scribe to my weekly e-newsletter, please send a quick note via email and I’ll put you on the list.

It is truly an honor to be your representative in the Iowa Legisla-ture, one I do not take for granted. Until next time, God bless.

distilled biodiesel is “the fu-ture of the industry.”

The distillation pro-cess eliminates a majority of blending issues with petro-leum-based diesel fuel and re-

Band Together to Fight Hunger

Submitted PhotoNewton Manufacturing Company employees Mindy Beaderstadt (left) and Bev Taber (right) presented more than 1,100 non-perishable food items, paper goods and baby needs to Salvation Army Captain Jeff Carter on Friday. Newton Manufacturing heard the food pantry was running low on select items and set a goal to donate 1,000 items to aid Jasper County families. Carter said the food pantry offers assistance to more than 450 families per month.

wilt have been found in city parks. City staff has identified 13 oak trees in Woodland Park and nine oak trees in Maytag Park that have died in the past year or will be dead with-in the next year. It is advantageous for the city to award this sale of tim-ber. Staff time and costs will be re-duced to cleaning up the branches, removing the stumps, and planting new trees. City staff recommends approval of the resolution to award the 2014 timber sale to Machin L.C. of Newton.

The council also will have a public hearing on a resolution approving an agreement for private development with Newton Senior Residence, LLC, in the North Central Urban Renewal Area. The Newton Housing Devel-opment Corporation and the City of Newton have been working with the Miller-Valentine Company on a

senior housing project on the north side of Newton’s downtown consist-ing of 53-units of independent senior apartments. The city would provide a $150,000 grant toward the project’s site work, including curb improve-ments, sidewalks, lighting, utilities and other infrastructure. The city also would provide a 10-year partial property tax rebate of up to $25,000 per year, beginning in 2016-17. City staff recommends approval of the at-tached resolution.

The council also will discuss an or-dinance amending the Code of Ordi-nances, City of Newton, Iowa, 2011, Title 2, Chapter 11, Article 10, park-ing offenses, regarding parking in the downtown snow removal district. Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Dar-rell Sarmento and several downtown business owners asked the Traffic Safety Committee to reconsider the current parking restriction for winter time parking. The solution is to al-low parking in the Downtown Snow

Removal District anytime except when downtown snow hauling oper-ations are declared by Newton Public Works operations superintendent or designee by telephonic means iden-tifying that downtown snow hauling operations are declared. This is the same method currently used else-where in town for snow plowing op-erations. The city staff recommends approval to adopt the proposed Or-dinance amendment.

The council also will be discussing a resolution approving entering into an agreement with the

Weekend Pit Stop Inc. organiza-tion for event purposes on the New-ton square called Thunder Nights In Newton. The Weekend Pit Stop Inc. is a local organization that wants to promote a Bike Night in New-ton on the city square on the sec-ond Friday of the month from May through September. The city recom-mends entering into the agreement with Weekend Pit Stop Inc. to bring Thunder Nites in Newton to the

downtown square.The council will discuss a resolu-

tion to retain National Citizen Sur-vey to conduct a community survey. The first step in updating the city’s Comprehensive Plan and the Stra-tegic Action Plan is to conduct a survey of its community customers. The purpose of this is to assess city services and to identify priorities and issues with those services. The Comprehensive Plan and the Strate-gic Action Plan then addresses those issues and builds on the strengths found in the survey. City staff recom-mends approval of the attached reso-lution retaining National Citizens Survey for an amount not to exceed $10,900 for the purpose of conduct-ing a community survey.

The Newton City Council meets at 6 p.m. tonight at the Newton City Hall Chambers.

Iowa State Fair Board eyes no-cash system for food vendors, other attractionsDES MOINES (AP) —

The Iowa State Fair Board is still discussing a way to elim-inate cash sales at food ven-dors and other attractions.

The Des Moines Register reported the board has been discussing prepaid plastic cards similar to credit cards, even though no changes are

planned for this summer’s fair. Following a public out-cry, officials announced Jan. 9 that they were scrapping plans for a cashless system

this summer that would have used tickets purchased online or at several sites on the fair-grounds.

Fair board member Jerry

Parkin said in a Jan. 8 email to county fair leaders that he hopes to offer a “credit-type card” that could be loaded with any amount.

DEAR ABBY: One of my child-hood friends got married at a young age. She’s now expecting and due in a few months. Every day she messages me on Facebook about something else her husband has done to cause her emotional stress. For example, a few weeks ago she found flirtatious erotic messages he had exchanged with an-other girl.

I want to help her because we have been friends for so long. We’re both 19, and I feel I should know how to help her, but since I’ve never been married I don’t know what to say. Any advice? — FRIEND IN KENTUCKY

DEAR FRIEND: What a sad situ-ation. Your friend is married to some-one who apparently doesn’t want to be married — and it’s open to question whether he will be much of a parent. If she has family, she should talk to them about this because she may need their help soon. She should also make plans for how she will support herself and the child, because her husband appears to be a flake.

Please pass this advice along. And let this be a lesson to you about the importance of achieving independence before assuming the responsibility of parenthood.

DEAR ABBY: My mother is in her mid-90s. Several of her lifelong friends, widows, still live in their own homes, as she does. However, they no longer drive.

A phone call would help them communicate directly with each other about life situations, but it doesn’t seem to happen. Instead of calling and talk-ing to each other, they hear about each other third-hand.

Is it typical for the elderly to aban-don each other and be so cruel? If so, what could help people communicate better regardless of age? — CON-CERNED SON IN COLORADO

DEAR SON: Not everyone in their 90s ages the same way. Some individu-

als are still active; others are less so. When seniors stop driving, there can be a tendency for them to become iso-lated and depressed. Others may be taking medications that affect their memory.

A way to help people in your moth-er’s age group would be to see that they have transportation to a senior center, where they can mingle face-to-face if they wish. I recommend this for your mother and her friends because I’m sure none of them are being deliber-ately cruel.

DEAR ABBY: I am an addict of Turner Classic Movies and wondered how those handsome actors and beau-tiful actresses control their libido dur-ing passionate love scenes. Or is there more to it than appears? — FILM BUFF IN ENCINITAS, CALIF.

DEAR FILM BUFF: Generally speaking, what an audience sees on the screen isn’t an amorous encounter. Ev-ery gesture has been carefully choreo-graphed. There may be a lot more act-ing than passion involved. (That’s why it’s called acting.) Remember, there is a director and there can be a crew of as many as 30 people standing around. Of course, there are always exceptions — Liz Taylor and Richard Burton would be one of them, and Brad Pitt and An-gelina Jolie would be another.

The city is in the process of receiving information on many incentives, including the Buxton Retail Analysis.

“Following the comprehen-sive plan, the commitment to retail expansion, both existing and new business, began with a major investment by the city [with the Buxton Report],” Hansen said. “This invest-ment, along with securing the position of a new devel-opment specialist, will better position the city to compete in this competitive economic arena. The analysis is coming to completion, and staffing is being considered for this ma-jor step forward.”

Hansen closed his speech recognizing the city council and city staff members as well as giving a message of hope for the city and business lead-ership in attendance.

“We value our partnership with the Chamber of Com-merce and are proud of our accomplishments in 2013, but boy oh boy, how excited we are about 2014 and 2015 as we move our community forward,” Hansen said. “We look forward to working with the Chamber, all of you and our community to make these things happen.”

NDC Frank Liebl intro-duced two new companies that have came to Newton in 2013 and early 2014: Ava-lanche Composites and Pa-

triot Converting. Liebl also expressed excitement for the addition of Health Enter-prises to Newton in March. The new business will be on the first floor of the Maytag Campus.

Liebl talked about the NDC 2013, when they recog-nized and learned more about three companies in Newton.

“We learned how Newton Clinic began in the old May-tag Hotel started downtown,” Liebl said. “Vernon Company is one of 30 US Business in its fourth generation of owner-ship in its industry and loca-tion. Over 40 employees have 25-plus years service with the company. Hawkeye Stages remodeled and consolidated there Marshalltown and Des Moines depots to the Newton location.”

Liebl’s presentation had an individual slide that laid the foundation of what’s ahead for Newton.

“It started with the CHAT Housing Study followed by the comprehensive plan, housing initiative, Buxton Retail Study, branding, the Iowa Main Street applica-tion and making the down-town a historic district,” Liebl said. “These are the building blocks that will give us the foundation of moving New-ton forward in the next couple of months.”

Liebl gave his appreciation, as many of the presenters did, emphasizing these building blocks wouldn’t be possible without the community.

“I know many of you in this room have had a part in one or more of these build-ing blocks, and for that I say thank you for your participa-tion. So the foundation has been laid. Now the real work begins. We have room for you because together we, and only we, can make Newton what we want it to be,” Liebl said.

The “Key” Award was giv-en to the Young Professionals of Jasper County for Thanks with Franks. The award was determined by an individual or group exceptional work on a specific community project within the last year.

“They have taken an event that has been going on for quite awhile and, in the past few years, have made it grow by leaps and bounds,” Sar-mento said. “It’s one of the signature events on the town square.”

The Community Service Award was given to New-ton Manufacturing employee Toni Peska. The award is given for an individual’s long term involvement in com-munity betterment projects through activities such as church, civic, community ser-vice or political organization and his or her given profes-sion

“She has served on the United Way Board as well as being instrumental in Red Pride Community Service Day,” Sarmento said. “She is very involved with Jas-per County Animal Rescue League. Just recently, her and

her husband rescued a couple of dogs. They have been tak-ing care them at their house.

Peska wanted to show her appreciation but also chal-lenge the community of New-ton.

“These things just didn’t happen with one person. That is pretty obvious,” Peska said. “Whether it’s my co-workers at Newton Manufacturing, my husband or kids, many of you in this room, or anyone else, it takes a community, and that’s what really what we all have in common, which is why we’re here tonight. Be-cause were passionate and in love with the community of Newton.

“I ask for you to look around you, look at the people seated across from you, look at the people across the room and look at the guests here in the room. When you look at all this talent and look at all this passion, there’s absolutely no limit on the number of positive things that can hap-pen in this community.”

Long, now past chair of the Chamber, gave a review of the past year.

“Our board had three goals this year. One was to apply for Iowa Main Street, and we got that done. On Feb. 6, we will find out what happened. The second one was to make the facilities at the Chamber of-fice a little better, and we got that done. The last goal was to have a growing Chamber membership, which we didn’t complete, but that gives the

current board a goal to start with.”

After Long’s review, he presented Sue Nolin as the new Chamber board chair. Nolin presented her message to the community to remind them to remain involved, as this year was simply a plan-ning year and there is much work left to do.

“Please make every effort to stay informed and get in-volved in the coming year,” Nolin said. “Do you know another business in town that is not a Chamber member? Well, give them a nudge and encourage them to get in-volved. The more businesses we have involved the more we can do. There will be many challenges ahead and will require a continued commit-ment and involvement, but the future is definitely bright for Newton as we all work to-gether.”

During the renovations at the Chamber office, many old documents and minutes were found. Nolin wanted to emphasize how someone may look back on us in the future.

“Twenty years from now when our children find docu-ments or board minutes in the chamber archives, let the record show swe tepped up to face the challenges of our day and paved the way for the fu-ture they will enjoy,” she said.

Muscatine County won’t release information on stun gun incidentDES MOINES (AP) — Muscatine

County officials are refusing to release the medical records of a woman who was shocked with a stun gun four times last fall as officers tried to get her to change clothing.

The woman, Marie Franks, has asked officials to release the records to the Des Moines Register, but so far officials have refused.

Video of the incident shows Franks cursing at jail staff and swinging her arms apparently to keep jail staff away. She

was shocked four times in eight minutes during the Oct. 7 incident. Muscatine County officials have said no laws were broken and jail policies were followed.

Franks, 58, suffers from bipolar dis-order and was off her medication at the time. The records should show what medication she was given in jail. County officials have said Franks refused to take medication jail officials offered her.

Franks was initially jailed for repeat-edly calling 911 but refusing to talk to dispatchers, but she was charged with

assaulting an officer on Oct. 4 while she was in jail.

Franks has submitted two different notarized requests for the records since November.

Muscatine County Attorney Alan Ostergren has offered technical reasons for rejecting the records requests. He said the first request was flawed because it included the signature of Franks’ father, Ken Beeding, and suggested he was act-ing as his daughter’s legal representative. The second request was rejected because

of an incorrect date.“It’s not for me to say what Ms. Franks’

best interests are, but it is for me to say as a lawyer and as an officer of the court to make sure we’re not just trampling on someone’s rights here,” Ostergren said.

Beeding said he’s frustrated with the repeated denials of access to his daugh-ter’s records. He has cared for Franks for the past 25 years.

Two law school professors at Drake University say the records should be re-leased.

By Zach Johnson Daily News Staff Writer

At the end of the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner last year, Chamber Board of Directors Chair Steve Long had blank puzzle pieces placed at every seat taken during the dinner. Long pointed out 2013 was going to be the year in which the crowd would decide what those puzzle pieces were going to be.

“I think you have heard what has been happening, so I am ex-cited,” Long said. “My family and I have been proud residents of New-ton for about four years. In those four years we have seen amazing things happen. We have seen the normal avid flow of business, but we have also seen a trajec-tory that is very positive. We have seen a commu-nity that has transcend-ed this idea of resilience and has gone to an idea of hopefulness. I think that is amazing to see.”

A year later, at this year’s annual dinner, Long reported on how the community has de-signed the puzzle pieces and said this year was going to be about put-ting the puzzle pieces together.

“We have seen wishes for the future replaced by faith in the things we’re doing will actually have an impact. I am excited to be here. Over the last year, I have been thrilled really to be the chair for the Chamber of Com-merce here in Newton and work with our ex-ceptional (Chamber) Executive Director Dar-rell Sarmento,” Long said. “I had the oppor-tunity to witness first-hand many of the things that have happened and many of the things that

were planned and talked about tonight, which was fun to watch.”

Thursday night, a re-cord number of business and community lead-ers were in attendance to celebrate the accom-plishments of 2013 and to learn more about what was to come in the new year.

“It was an encourag-ing evening. We were very pleased with our largest ever,” Sarmento said. “I think that is a good sign that a lot of people are getting en-gaged, realizing if we all work together, we can make good things happen for the City of Newton.”

The annual dinner program was reformat-ted because the Cham-ber wanted to have more of an opportunity to cel-ebrate the accomplish-ments of the past year and what is to come for the new year.

“The new format went well,” Sarmento said. “When you look at the program as a whole, with all the informa-tion and updates people went home with. These things not only effect this next year, 2014, but really the next three to five years for our city. Everything we talked about last night will be gradually implemented and worked on for the coming years. In many ways, it has laid out our marching orders for the next few years of what were going to be focus-ing on as a city.”

One of the big plans for the dinner was to cel-ebrate the news of Main Street, but on Monday the public was told the official announcement would be made by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad in a special presentation on Feb. 6.

“We will hear the Main Street announce-

ment on Feb. 6, and once we officially know if were a Main Street Community, that’s a process which takes sev-eral years in terms of really revitalizing our downtown,” Sarmento said. “We have a lot of work ahead, but it was a great evening as well as an inspiring evening.”

The city gave a plug for the branding, re-minding everyone that they should be in atten-dance for the commu-nity rally on Feb. 11.

“I think it’s encour-aging. You know the city has needed a new logo and just to freshen up how we promote our-selves through out the Central Iowa region,” Sarmento said. “I think people realize we have a lot to be proud of. I mean, any town does, and Newton certainly does. We need to know how to tell our story with tools, videos, bro-chures and pictures to show why Newton has to be proud.”

The city also gave a sneak peek into the new branding video, which will be presented in full length at the rally.

“It was nice to see that little snippet of the video, as I haven’t even had a chance to see the whole video,” Sarmen-to said. “There will be more to come. Feb. 11 is just the beginning to improving the efforts we need to make to tell our story.”

Sarmento also an-nounced the Chamber update its logo and web-site in the new year as well.

“We are going to freshen up our logo,” Sarmento said. “Our logo is over 10 years old, so were going to let the city start the process. We will also freshen up our website as well. It will happen come the next two or three months.”

The dinner featured several informative pre-sentations, with the crowd reacting espei-cally positively to the presentation by Newton Development Corpora-tion Executive Director Frank Liebl.

“There was one slide that Frank Liebl showed building blocks on all these different efforts, with the Community Housing Assessment Team Housing Study, Newton Comprehensive Plan, the re-branding, Iowa Main Street Ap-plication process, the Newton Housing Ini-tiative and the Buxton Retail Analysis Report,” Sarmento said. “All these things are hap-pening simultaneously. Not one of these in iso-lation is going to make the huge difference for the City of Newton. It’s all of these things work-ing together at the same time that’s going to take us forward in the three to five years. I think five years from now, we’re going to look back and

say it has been quite a season.”

Before the dinner began, the Employee Relations Committee gave the recommenda-tion to the Newton City Council on adding the position of development specialist to the city budget. The position was shown to be a key component in the future plans in 2014.

“I think the city knows that for good things to happen, good leadership has to be in place,” Sarmento said. “In the same way, the Chamber stepped up and played a key role in get-ting Main Street. It will continue to play a key role in the implementa-tion of Main Street. All of these other initiatives need good leadership to make sure it’s executed successfully. I applaud the committee in giving their recommendation of the posi tion for it to move forward.”

Jay Beyers of the Greater Des Moines Partnership gave a spe-cial greeting speaking on how the City of Newton and other communities make the partnership successful.

“I think one of our key challenges as a com-munity is to find out how we can tap into some of the national attention the greater Des Moines are and bring some of that to Newton,” Sarmento said. “The Greater Des Moines Partnership has launched a new website offering many ways for businesses to find out about Newton.”

Mayor Mike Han-sen gave an update on what the city has ac-complished in the past

year and the beginning of 2014.

“The year of 2013 was about planning and preparing,” Hansen said. “Citizens groups and city staff follow-ing the direction of the city council worked dili-gently to plan for the implementation of our comprehensive plan.”

Hansen gave an up-date on the investments made by the city council after the first session of budget hearings by the council.

“Supported by city council funding, plans have been made for a major marketing effort to better tell our story about the many great as-sets we have in our com-munity,” Hansen said. “Pads have been poured for the installation of sculptures along First Avenue. The bids our out for improvements of the First Avenue over-pass, along with our new way-finding signs around the community.”

The council has passed many new reports and incentives studies throughout 2013. The implementation of the reports and incentives is set to begin this year.

“In concert with sev-eral different groups, an expansive housing initiative costing $3.7 million will address the existing housing needs and build momentum for new housing starts,” Hansen said. “The plan addresses dangerous and dilapidated buildings and provides for infra-structure and individual incentives necessary to encourage new housing development.”

KNOXVILLE — Coast-to-coast went senior guard Chandler Sturtz to tie the game at 19-19 in the second quarter Friday night. Sturtz and his Newton teammates continued to attack the basket and score against host Knox-ville.

The Cardinals scored in ones, twos and threes throughout the game, winning 81-68. The Panthers were maintain-ing pace with the Cardi-nals, hitting 12 3-point-ers on the night.

It was anybody’s game until there was fi ve minutes remaining in the contest. Newton led 62-60 when junior guard Tyler Wood com-

pleted a three-point play for the Cardinals. Con-nor Gholson, a fresh-man, nailed a 3-pointer to push the Newton ad-vantage to eight points.

“I think we did a great job attacking the basket and giving our best free throw shooters oppor-tunities to step up and knock them down and they are doing it,” said Nick Wilkins, Newton head coach.

Newton shot 55 per-cent, 26-of-47, from the fi eld overall. The Cardi-nals were 9-of-17 from 3-point range. They cashed in on 20-of-27 free throw attempts, 74 percent.

Knoxville ran out of gas as its offense sput-ter down the stretch. The Cardinals contin-ued their assault on the

basket. In that fi nal fi ve minutes, Newton rolled on a 19-8 surge to vic-tory.

Newton pushed its Little Hawkeye Confer-ence mark to 6-4. The Cardinals moved to 7-8 overall.

The Cardinals take a three-game winning streak into Tuesday’s LHC game at Dallas Center-Grimes. The Class 3A fourth-ranked Mustangs (14-2) are tied for fi rst in the con-ference with Grinnell at 9-1, which is Newton’s next opponent at home this Friday.

“This is a big week for us going to DCG on Tuesday and then host-ing Grinnell on Friday. We will come up with a game plan this week-end, put it in place on

Monday and hope we can execute on Tuesday,” Wilkins said. “We are playing some great team basketball right now and we look forward to rid-ing this momentum the rest of the season.”

Sturtz opened the game with a 3-pointer and the Cardinals were up 12-3. Back came the Panthers to close the gap to 15-13 by the end of the fi rst quarter.

Luke Smith’s bank shot of a three put the Panthers up 16-15 to begin the second period. Sturtz, who led all scor-ers with 25 points, sank two free throws and the back-and-forth action began.

Cardinals’ fi repower too much for Panthers to handle By Jocelyn Sheets

KNOXVILLE — It was a game of hard knocks for Newton’s Cardinals.

Foul trouble, not much rebounding at either end, turnovers, and of course, Knox-ville’s Panthers playing well from start to fi nish. The Panthers avenged a 60-47 loss at Newton in December with a 49-

38 win Friday night in Little Hawkeye Confer-ence play.

“We just didn’t come to play, especially defensive-ly,” said Brandon Sharp, Newton head coach. “We were a step slow and a step behind all night.”

The game wasn’t as close as the fi nal score indicates. After a 3-pointer by Han-nah Rhoads put the Cardinals within seven, 26-19, at halftime, the

Cardinals could not get things in gear in the sec-ond half.

Knoxville outscored Newton 15-4 in the third period. The Panthers went into the fourth quarter up 41-23. Even though the Cardinals had a 15-8 scoring edge in the fi nal eight min-utes, they didn’t chal-lenge the Panthers’ lead.

Cardinals capture four LHC weight division championships

NORWALK — Four out of fi ve is not bad.

Newton’s Cardinals walked out of Norwalk High School’s gym with four Little Hawk-eye Conference individual weight class wrestling cham-pions Saturday. The Cardinals had fi ve wrestlers in champi-onship matches at the 2014 LHC tournament.

Senior Koby Hull won his second straight Little Hawk-eye Conference wrestling championship at 106 pounds. Sophomore Hunter Versteegh claimed the 113-pound championship while se-niors Ray Schroder and Joey Wright, became conference champions at 195 pounds and 285 pounds, respectively.

Junior Dakota Dawson had the heartbreaker in the fi nals.

Dawson, who placed second a year ago in the 132-pound

division, dropped a 3-2 de-cision to Kieran Robuck of

Knoxville in the 138-pound championship match.

Newton had a strong con-ference tournament. The Car-dinals led the tournament for awhile during the day, but settled into fourth place, two points out of third, in the fi nal standings.

Conference newcomer Dallas Center-Grimes is the 2014 team champion with 204.5 points. Grinnell, last year’s team champion, was second at 190 points. Nor-walk scored 184 points for third with Newton in fourth at 182. Knoxville was fi fth at 164 followed by Oskaloosa with 122 points and Pella with 84 points.

Seven of the 13 Cardinal wrestlers competing Satur-day earned 2014 All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsSenior Koby Hull of Newton captured his second consecutive Little Hawkeye Conference championship at 106 pounds Saturday at Norwalk. Hull avenged a home loss to Drew Sams, seen here, with a 10-6 win in the title match.

Seahawks blow out Broncos in Super Bowl

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Defense wins champion-ships, and the NFL has not seen a defense like Seattle’s in a long time.

The Seahawks won their fi rst Su-per Bowl title Sunday night in over-powering fashion, punishing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8. That relentless defense, the NFL’s stingiest, never let the fi ve-time MVP get going, disarming the high-est-scoring offense in league history.

Seattle (16-3) was too quick, too physical and just too good for Denver, and that was true in all areas. What was hyped as a classic matchup be-tween an unstoppable offense and a miserly defense turned into a rout.

Punctuating Seattle’s dominance were a 69-yard interception return touchdown by linebacker Malcolm Smith to make it 22-0, and Percy Harvin’s sensational 87-yard kickoff runback to open the second half.

When the Seahawks, up by 29 points, forced a Denver punt early in the third quarter, the 12th Man — and there were legions of them in

MetLife Stadium — began chanting “L-O-B, L-O-B.”

As in Legion of Boom, the Se-ahawks hard-hitting secondary.

The loss by the Broncos again raised questions about Manning’s ability to win the biggest games. He is 11-12 in the postseason, 1-2 in Super Bowls. He never looked com-fortable against a defense some will begin comparing to the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens — other NFL champions who had runaway Super Bowl victories.

Seattle forced four turnovers; Denver had 26 all season.

The Seahawks looked comfort-able and at ease, and not just their defense.

Russell Wilson, who has an NFL-record 28 wins in his fi rst two pro seasons, including playoffs, had a 23-yard TD pass to Jermaine Kearse late in the third quarter to make it 36-0.

Wilson also hit Doug Baldwin for a 10-yard score in the fi nal period in what had become one of the most lopsided Super Bowls.

NEWTON — In their fi nal reg-ular-season home meet, Newton’s bowling teams powered past visit-ing Oskaloosa Saturday at Cardinal Lanes.

The Cardinal girls stayed unde-feated, 11-0, for the season with one more regular-season meet remaining. They decked Oskaloosa’s Indians, winning by 409 pins — 2,078-1,669.

SULLY — In a South Iowa Cedar League showdown Friday night, Lyn-nville-Sully’s Hawk boys were after their eighth straight win. Standing in the way were Montezuma’s Braves, who came in determined to avenge a loss to the Hawks on their home court in December.

It was close the entire way with Lyn-nville-Sully leading 28-24 at halftime. The Hawks were up 40-32 after three quarters, but the Braves outscored them 20-13 in the fi nal eight minutes. The Braves edged the Hawks, 53-52.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls had little trou-ble in a 60-27 win over Montezuma. The Hawk girls, ranked fi fth in Class 1A, led 40-14 at halftime.

Lynnville-Sully’s teams host North Mahaska Tuesday.

For the Hawk boys, T.J. Cunningham poured in 17 points, grabbed seven re-bounds and made two steals. Ben Trettin added 14 points. Jake Brand dished out three assists and Darin Hofer controlled 10 rebounds.

“It was a tough loss for us,” said Nick Harthoorn, L-S boys’ head coach. “We needed to do a few little things better to come out on top. We must do a better job of taking care of the basketball and rebounding.”

Montezuma had one player reach

double-digit scoring. Brody McKeag scored 16 points. Seven other players scored three or more points to boost the Braves to the win.

Lysandra James poured in 23 points and grabbed 15 rebounds for the Hawk girls. Lyndsay Terpstra added 11 points and Cassie Cullen had 10 points.

Jade Van Rees had fi ve assists and Cullen made three steals.

This was a great effort by the girls. They set the tone for the whole game on the defensive end not letting Mont-ezuma get into their offense,” said Jerry Hulsing, L-S girls’ head coach. “We re-bounded the basketball well tonight and that let us get out and run the fl oor get-ting open looks at the basket. This is the best all around game the we have played all season.”

The Braves got seven points each from Mackenzie James and Courtney Petersen.

MARENGO — Caden Doll was dominating in his short time on the wres-tling mat at Saturday’s 2014 South Iowa Cedar League tournament. The Lynnville-Sully had just two matches on the day, winning both and claiming the SICL champi-onship at 160 pounds.

The PCM and CMB girls play again Feb. 10 at Baxter in a game rescheduled from Jan. 20.

In the boys’ contest, CMB and PCM waged a great HOIC battle on the court. The Raiders had bolted to an 8-2 lead, which turned into a 21-17 advantage at the end of the fi rst quarter.

Baskets by Logan Gilman and Dillon Bruxvoort moved the Mustangs into a 21-21 tie early in the second period. Those were countered by fi eld goals by CMB’s Seth Balke and Bryce Kemp on the inside to take a 25-21 lead.

The Raiders were up 28-23 midway through the second quarter. A 3-pointer by Ryan Jen-nings triggered a 14-5 run for the Mustangs, who had a 37-33 half-time lead.

Five straight points from Austin Moorman lifted CMB to within one point, 39-38, by the 6-30 mark of the third quar-ter. Over the next two minutes, PCM had a 10-0 run putting the

Mustangs up 49-38. The Raiders couldn’t coun-

ter, trailing 54-43 going into the fourth quarter. The Mustangs outscored the Raiders 13-12 in the fi nal eight minutes.

Bruxvoort paced the Mustangs with 27 points, fi ve rebounds and fi ve assists. PCM spread the bas-ketball around with 22 assists. Devon Woody dished out seven assists. Gilman scored 20 points plus had two steals. Jennings, who had four 3-pointers in the game, added 13 points.

The top three place winners at each weight are considered all-conference wrestlers.

Hull, Versteegh, Schorder, Wright, Dawson are joined earning all-con-ference by junior J.T. Thongvanh and sophomore Bryce Tish. Thongvanh and Tish placed third at 170 pounds and 132 pounds, respectively.

“I am really excited about this team headed into our district tournament. A lot of our guys are peaking at the right time,” said NHS head coach Andy Swedenhjelm. “We are hoping to keep some of the momentum go-ing as we fi ght for the chance to go to the state meet. Having fi ve fi nalists is always a great accomplishment, and we were fortunate enough to have four of the fi ve come home as champions.”

Newton hosts a Class 3A district wrestling tournament Feb. 15.

Sophomore Alex Bentley placed fourth at 126 pounds for the Cardi-nals. Claiming fi fth places were soph-omores Cole Peters and Jordan Hen-ning in the 120-pound and 182-pound brackets, respectively, and freshman Caden Manning at 220. Senior Earl Kimmel was sixth in the 160-pound division. Freshman Justice Borger did not place in the 145-pound class.

Hull faced Drew Sams of Oskaloo-sa in the championship match. Sams had upended Hull at home earlier this season. The two were tied at 5-5 in Saturday’s match going into the third period.

Sams grabbed a 6-5 lead, but Hull took control late in the match. He scored fi ve unanswered points to win 10-6 to become a two-time Little Hawkeye Conference champion at 106.

“I was ready to go today. I held him on his back the last 45 seconds to get the near fall,” Hull said. “I’m pretty

excited.”Versteegh made quick work of Ty-

ler Hirl of Norwalk in the 113-pound title match. Versteegh had pinned his other two opponents on the day as he advanced to the championship. He turned Hirl and recorded the winning fall at the 1:07 mark.

Schroder had taken second at 195-pounds a year ago at the confer-ence meet. Not his senior season. Sch-roder went into the tournament as the

No. 1 seed in his weight division and proved his deserved it.

In the semifi nals, Schroder posted an 11-4 win over Travis Poffenbarger of Knoxville. Taking on Jared Keenan of Grinnell in the 195-pound cham-pionship match, Schroder had the fi rst takedown of the contest and stayed in control for a 7-3 win.

“This is one of the goals I’ve been working for all season. I was really ag-gressive all day on the mat. I stayed

low and aggressive in the title match and got a few takedowns,” Schroder said.

Wright, who had been sidelined with a medical situation, returned to the mat the past couple of weeks for the Cardinals. He moved into the 285-pound weight class and in came out as a Little Hawkeye Conference champion.

Wright recorded two wins by pins in the quarterfi nals and semifi nals Saturday. That set up a match for the championship with Trystan Minnis of Norwalk. Wright built up an 8-4 lead through two periods. A reversal to start the third put Wright in front 10-4 on his way to a 10-7 win and the title.

More on the NHS wrestlers at conference will be in Tuesday’s Daily News.

Jwan Roush’s trey put the Cardinals up 28-25. Sturtz drained a 3-pointer giving Newton a four-point lead but Knoxville’s Trent Davis hit a three to make it 31-30 at halftime.

Newton trailed by two with fi ve minutes left in the third quarter. Joseph Banfi eld got inside for a basket, tying it at 37-all. It was three-point play by Devin Shores which put the Cardinals back on top 42-40 followed by a Gholson 3-pointer.

The Panthers kept fi r-ing from long range — they put up 36 3-pointers in the game. Their last lead of the contest was 51-49 on a three by Garrett Davis.

Wilkins said Knoxville shooting over 30 3-pointers was a combination of New-ton’s strategy of inside-out defense, where the Cardinals protected the paint area by

stopping dribble-penetration and doubling the post and “also the fact that they got really hot from 3, particularly in the third quarter, where I believe they hit six of their 12.”

Wood netted a 3-point-er giving the lead back to Newton then Sturtz scored in transition and downed two free throws. Newton led 56-51 going into the fourth quarter.

“Hitting 12 3-pointers is a big reason we gave up 68 points, but also because we attacked the full-court press they ran all game giving us a lot of good early looks from three-point range and at the basket which in turn gave them more possessions,” Wilkins said.

Sturtz picked up his fourth foul with 5:30 re-maining in the game, and sat out for three minutes. Newton didn’t allow Knox-ville take advantage of that situation. The Cardinals

kept their offensive pressure on and pulled away.

Wood had 16 points, hiit-ing 6-of-7 at the free-throw line, plus had nine rebounds and seven assists. Gholson came off the bench, hit-ting three 3-pointers, for 15 points overall. Daquan Al-len grabbed seven rebounds and Easley dished out four assists.

Garrett Davis and Zoutte each had four 3-pointers for the Panthers. Garrett Davis had 20 points for the game and Zoutte fi nished with 12 points.

Newton will have to dis-card Friday’s game quickly. The Cardinals have to fo-cus on taking on Class 4A’s eighth-ranked Dallas Cen-ter-Grimes’ Fillies Tuesday. The Fillies lead the Little Hawkeye Conference at 10-0 and 15-2.

The Cardinals pushed the Fillies to the brink at home Jan. 7, losing 44-41. Newton, which is 5-5 in conference and 5-12 overall travels to Grimes to challenge the Fil-lies again.

“I have confi dence in our team to learn from this game and move forward,” Sharp said. “We didn’t play hard until the fourth quar-ter, which is unusual for our players. Everything that went wrong Friday night can be corrected by our kids.”

Newton fell behind quick-ly Friday against the Pan-thers. They were down 11-4 when Rhoads hit a 3-pointer. Newton trailed 13-8 after one period.

Lizzie Stock downed two free throws to open the sec-ond quarter for the Cardi-nals. Knoxville responded with six unanswered points. Stock drilled a 3-pointer to make it 19-13.

Foul trouble began hitting the Cardinals hard.

Michaela Jacobsen picked up her third foul with less than three minutes left in the fi rst half and she went to the NHS bench. Shelby Gray had three fouls before the end of the half. Gray had her fourth foul early in the third quarter and Jacobsen was back on the bench at the 2:50 mark.

Newton had no answer for the inside play of Ricki Hall for Knoxville. Hall fi nished 17 points as did Meredith Cunningham. The Panthers clamped down defensively on the Cardinals the whole game. They kept Newton to one shot a possession most of the night.

“Win or lose, we remind each other that what is done is done. Our girls will get

back to work and come out with great effort. We’ve been playing pretty good basket-ball right now,” Sharp said.

Rhoads led the Cardinals with seven points and fi ve rebounds. Sarah Kalkhoff claimed nine rebounds for Newton. Stock added six points. The Cardinals shot 30 percent, 12-of-40, from the fi eld and hit 10-of-21 from the free-throw line.

TOTALS: 14-21-17-49.

The Cardinal boys posted a 2,226-2,012 win over Oska-loosa. They improved to 7-4 on the season.

Newton’s fi nal regular-season match up is this Saturday at Val Lanes in Des Moines against Knoxville and host Norwalk.

“This will be a great match to have before the regional tournament. We’ll be going against our rivals Knoxville and Norwalk,” said Newton bowl-ing coach Seth Banwell.

Knoxville, Norwalk, Os-kaloosa, Pella Christian, Des Moines Hoover and Clarke of Osceola come to Newton Feb. 18 for a Class 1A regional bowling tournament. Qualifi -ers advance to the state tourna-ment Feb. 24 in Des Moines.

Junior Erica Bailey set the pace for Newton’s girls with a team-high 318 on games of 158 and 160. Melanie Stice, another junior, posted a 293 (147-146) and sophomore Madison Humphrey bowled a 280 (131-149).

Sophomore Mariah Gon-zales tossed a 275 and had the highest single game for the Car-dinals at 166. Kirsten Young, a freshman, bowled a 240 (113-127) and junior Courtney Tabor had a 231 (88-143).

The Cardinal girls’ Baker game scores were 136, 114, 117, 142, 163 for a team total of 672.

Sophomore Bryan McMa-hon came eight pins short of a 200 game for the Cardinals. McMahon led the Cardinals with a 342 on games of 150 and 192. Juniors Payton Cox and Alex Bare fi nished with 323 (144-178) and 314 (173-141), respectively.

Nick VerSteeg, a freshman rolled a 297 with games of 168 and 129. Freshman Reid Miller bowled 261 (125-136) and ju-nior Andrew Lammey had a 198 (105-93).

Newton’s boys had Baker game scores of 139, 137, 116, 131, 166 for a total of 689.

“While the scores were not very high this week, I’m sill very proud of the bowlers on their wins,” Banwell said.

PELLA — Being home did the the trick for the Pella Christian Eagle basketball teams Friday. The PC boys broke a fi ve-game losing streak and the girls halted a four-game skid.

The Eagle girls defeated visiting Oskaloosa 46-33, us-ing a 14-2 surge in the fourth quarter. Tessa Howerzyl scored 11 points and had four assists for the Eagles.

Hannah Beltman blocked eight Indian shots. She also scored eight points, controlled 15 rebounds and had four steals for the Eagles. Lauren Jungling had 10 rebounds and scored nine points.

Marina Shannon and Brooke Mitrisin each added eight points for Pella Chris-tian. Autumn Vos scored two points.

Newton Daily News Jasper County Advertiser newtondailynews.com

Astrograph

The Aries warrior moon is angry and picking fights. Is there something in you that wants to fight, too? Maybe you’re angry with a loved one or disappointed in something inside yourself on which you depend. Well, it can be worked out, all of it. Everything is a short-term situation, and with the right attitude, you’ll work it out sooner or later and probably sooner.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 3). You’ll celebrate the gifts you were born with. You are talented in ways you haven’t explored yet. You’ll stretch to ac-commodate a friend in March, and by doing so, you’ll also extend your own influence. April brings new family, and it will be important to show up strong at the events that celebrate your kin. Pisces and Cancer people adore you. Lucky numbers are: 3, 45, 16, 29 and 5.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Many sunsets have passed without your adula-tion. Today’s is the best of the month, and not because it’s spectacularly bright or

colorful, but because if you catch it, it will seem like it was meant exclusively for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t aim for your goal, because right now doing this will lead to less than optimum results. In-stead, aim far beyond your target. Given the current conditions, you’ll land in a place most pleasing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your key people may be clueless about your work. If your job is very demanding, this ignorance will be a problem. In-creased sharing will bring understanding and a better relationship dynamic.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Presentations are like steaks. Whether rare or well-done, they are best received when fitted to the order. Know your audience and anticipate their sensi-bilities and preferences.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you’re looking for faults, you’ll find them. Yet, what’s more miracu-lous are the many vibrant

assets you’ll find in the people and circumstances today brings.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Today will be like a pixel: bright, uniquely col-ored and interesting in its own right. When combined with the other related pix-els, the bigger picture will be something much greater than the sum of its parts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Those who think it only counts if you like the one who likes you are thinking too small. Time has a way of changing people’s minds or bringing awareness where there was none.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you choose to go out on a limb, your friends won’t approve — in fact, they may object. But if you have good reasons for trying to do something be-yond your known powers, you won’t mind too much what they think.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your genuine expression will move others. You can’t predict how, though. The attention you pay to loved

ones may not be received in the way you expect, but it’s important that you give according to your true feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be like water, benefiting all. Sometimes you provide this benefit by coming from a high place and raining down your wisdom, and sometimes you support from a quiet and low place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re already leaning in a particular direction, so you may as well decide now. Hesitating will only make the others involved less excited about your alliance. Go forward in good will.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Good news for those who have been stalled: The high stakes will have you moving briskly along. Note that a negative consequence is often a more powerful motivation than a wonder-ful reward.
