Iowa’s ‘Freedom Rock’ artist talks plans for Jasper County

By Ty RushingDaily News Staff Writer

Jasper County, are you ready to rock?

Last week, the offi-cial “Freedom Rock” for Jasper County arrived in Sully. Freedom Rocks are huge chunks of stone that are painted annually with different murals dedicated to veterans.

Jasper County’s Free-dom Rock has been placed in Sully’s Central

Park and measures 7-by-9-by10 feet and won’t be painted until sometime next year.

Artist Ray Sorenson II, better known as Bubba, is the creator of the concept and will also be the paint-er of the county’s rock.

So what are his plans for Jasper County’s rock?

“What they are sup-posed to be doing right now is gathering some ideas that are unique to the county and compiling

them (into a list),” Bubba said. “I (then) collect all of this stuff, and I tell them what I think would be an interesting mural.”

“Honestly, we don’t know what’s going to go on the Sully rock,” he continued.

The Freedom Rock is an entirely separate thing from the Memorial Rock that the Jasper County

Busy weekend for fire department

By Ty RushingDaily News Staff Writer

It was a busy weekend for the New-ton Fire Department, and it started on Friday when they responded to a hazardous material spill Love’s Travel Stop.

Love’s Travel Stop, located directly off of exit 168 on Interstate 80 in New-ton, called NFD after one semitrailer struck another semitrailer, rupturing the hit semitrailer’s fuel tank and caus-ing 100 gallons of diesel fuel to spill. While firefighters were on the scene, a driver drove away from one of Love’s fuel pumps with the hose still attached to the vehicle. The hose’s fail-safe de-vice failed to act and the pump didn’t stop initially. They managed to shut the pump down and contained both incidents.

There were no reported injuries.

Iowa school bus driver fired for texting, driving

IOWA CITY (AP) — An Iowa school bus driver accused of using her cellphone while driving students on the interstate has been fired after a student surreptitiously photographed the incident.

Tabitha Jones, 29, of North Lib-erty, was driving students southbound on Interstate 380 to Iowa City West High School on the morning of May 14, when she reportedly began using her cellphone, The Des Moines Reg-ister reported for its Saturday editions.

A student snapped an over-the-shoulder, close-up photo of Jones holding the cellphone against the center of the steering wheel with her thumb on the phone’s screen, the newspaper said.

Jones was fired sometime after that incident.

At a September hearing dealing with Jones’ request for unemployment benefits, her former boss testified that Jones initially denied using her phone on the bus. After being shown the stu-dent’s photo, she said she had pulled it

out briefly to check the time, the boss said.

However, officials testified, on-board surveillance video showed Jones had the phone out much longer than the few seconds necessary to check the time.

Administrative Law Judge Beth Scheetz denied Jones’ request for unemployment benefits, saying the driver’s disregard for company policies amounted to workplace misconduct.

A phone message left Saturday at the North Liberty home of a Tabitha Jones seeking comment was not im-mediately returned.

School district officials told The Des Moines Register that they didn’t have a copy of the photo. Maria Mar-tin, academic dean with Iowa City West High School, said she had heard about the photo and, without seeing it or asking for a copy, instructed the student to send it directly to Durham School Services, a private bus com-pany that serves Iowa City public schools.

C-M Dance Team performs at Iowa State Dance/Drill Championships

Submitted PhotoOn Thursday, Dec. 5, the Colfax-Mingo Dance Team performed at the 2014 Iowa State Dance/Drill Championships at Wells Fargo Arena. The competition hosts more than 5,000 participants coming from 278 high schools, making it the largest competition in the United States. The teams are judged by an expert panel of judges from across the United States. They are judged based on appearance, choreography, execution, tech-nique and general effect/showmanship. The teams are awarded either Division I, II or III ratings with trophies going to the top scores within their respective class. The CMDT performed two routines this year, including a pom routine that received a Division I rat-ing and a fourth-place trophy and a hip hop routine that also received a Division I rating and a fifth-place trophy. The team also was awarded an Excellence Award for having an average grade point average of 3.0-3.45.

Iowa readies for health care expansionDES MOINES (AP) — Between the

troubled federal insurance enrollment website and uncertainty over Medicaid expansion, the months leading up to the kick-off of President Barack Obama’s new health care law have been bumpy in Iowa. Now, with weeks to go before the program starts, those issues have largely been resolved, though questions remain about if the state is ready.

Starting Jan. 1, many of the provi-sions of the health law go into effect, including insurance coverage for those who signed up for private plans on the federal enrollment website. The state’s modified Medicaid expansion — which uses federal dollars to offer coverage to some low-income Iowans — has been granted federal approval and will also begin that day.

But a key question in Iowa is whether all the people seeking coverage can get enrolled in plans, or on Medicaid, by the beginning of January. The enrollment process has been beset by glitches with the federal exchange website, which is being used by 36 states, including Iowa. Obama officials promised to improve the site by the end of November and it appears to be working better.

“It’s going better. I don’t know if I can say it’s going well,” said Iowa Insur-ance Commissioner Nick Gerhart.

According to data released by the federal government last week, about 25,000 state residents applied for cov-erage on the federal website in Octo-ber and November. Of them, just 757 have enrolled in private health insur-ance plans and another 7,832 have been deemed eligible for Medicaid or another state program.

Gerhart stressed that uninsured peo-ple who want coverage to start at the be-ginning of January must remember that the deadline to sign up for private plans is Dec. 23. He recommended getting advice to help with the process.

“Talk to somebody who can help you. Talk to a navigator, talk to your agent,” Gerhart said, adding that people need to think about what kind of coverage they require. “Is your doctor in the network, are the drugs you need?”

The health care law seeks to reduce the number of people without health in-surance — estimated at roughly 300,000 in Iowa — both through an expansion of Medicaid and by requiring individu-als who don’t have employer-provided health insurance to purchase it. There will be federal subsidies available to help some people with their premium costs, and those who don’t buy insurance will pay a penalty.

Cliff Gold, chief operating officer at CoOportunity Health, which is of-fering insurance plans for Iowa on the exchange, said they’ve seen enrollments skyrocket in early December, suggesting the process is speeding up.

“We’re definitely seeing those enroll-ments going up,” said Gold, noting that they had 344 enrollments in October and November and that the overall en-rollment number climbed to 685 in the first week of December.

Those in the field said interest is growing as the end of the month draws near.

Betty Spratt, supervisor of financial counseling at Broadlawns Medical Cen-ter in Des Moines, said 12 staffers who help people with insurance applications

have been inundated recently.“We’ve been standing room only the

last few weeks or so,” said Spratt, who noted that the website is working better, though there are still problems some-times. “I’ve been hearing more positive things from the counselors getting on-line.”

People can continue to sign up on the exchange through March 31 and Med-icaid enrollment is possible year-round.

Another major development for Iowa came last week, when Gov. Terry Brans-tad and federal authorities reached an agreement to allow the state to use addi-tional Medicaid dollars to create a new program for low-income residents. Un-der the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan, some people will go on a new state-run health plan with benefits similar to those offered to state workers. Others will get private health plans on the ex-change and the premiums will be paid for with federal dollars.

The state will start charging small monthly premiums to some participants in 2015. The premiums will be waived if people meet certain health goals, or in cases of hardship, and the out-of-pocket costs can’t exceed 5 percent of their an-nual income. As part of the agreement with federal authorities the state can’t deny coverage to the poorest participants if they don’t pay the premiums, though they could try to collect any debts.

More than 50,000 Iowa residents are already signed up for the Iowa Health and Wellness plan, all of whom are cur-rently on a different low-income health program set to expire at the end of the year. Thousands more have applied for state coverage and may be eligible.

I spent my early years out-side a small farm community in Northeast Nebraska. Our n e i g h -b o r s to the s o u t h were the R o b -in sons , a hard w o r k -ing farm f a m -ily with s e v -eral boys including my good friend Larry. We would play at the creek between our two farms, catching frogs, min-nows and crawdads. On Saturday, we would ride our horses to town, and just do those things that neighbor kids would do.

Although we remained friends, we parted ways with me heading West, and then to college. Larry worked on the farm awhile after high school, went to college, and then realized his goal of be-coming a Marine. We would dream of being pilots some-day, and we both did. How-ever, Larry became a Marine Corps pilot, and served sev-eral tours in Vietnam.

Fast forward to Decem-ber, 1969, for it was now Maj. Larry Robinson, with 14 years’ service, and sta-tioned at Da Nang Air Base. He had just completed 100 missions over Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and was pre-paring to go home on leave, and then report to perform training duty for new pilots in aerial tactics.

A close Marine buddy asked Larry if he would take his place in a planned air strike of North Vietnamese Army (NVA) positions just across the border into Laos. He agreed, and on January 5, 1970, Major Larry W. Rob-inson, along with his Radar Intercept Officer, led an at-tack on NVA positions along

the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos. As he “rolled in” to deliver ordinance from his F4B “Phantom II”, the plane was hit by NVA anti-aircraft fire. Larry was able to make it back into Vietnam, for the wreckage was soon located in dense jungle a few miles north of Dak To. Marine Corps helicopters immedi-ately converged on the co-ordinates, but no bodies or parachutes were found. It was surmised they had eject-ed and were captured by the NVA. He was never heard from again. Later, enemy troops in Laos reported “hav-ing tens of tens” of American “war criminals.” MIA or KIA? Only God knows.

Last month, while in Vietnam for a couple days inspecting the tannery that processes Iowa pigskins, I thought a lot about my childhood friend. Then as fate would have it, when we left for Hong Kong, our Ca-thay Air commercial airliner traveled north out of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), on a clear, cloudless early evening. Watching the live map of our flight on the video screen, I discovered we were near-ing Dak To. From my win-dow seat, thirty-thousand feet below were mountains and dense jungle, and then appeared the nearly indis-cernible village, surrounded by hills known as 823, 875, 882 and many others. Dak To took its toll in Novem-ber of 1967, when American troop losses included 376 killed and just short of 1,500 wounded.

I imagined I could ac-tually see the deep ravine, seven “clicks” north of Dak To where Major Robinson’s Phantom II had crashed and burned. I looked at the mountains and jungle in all directions surrounding Dak To, and was overwhelmed by the realization of absolute self-insignificance in light

of what had historically oc-curred below. We were flying over truly hallowed ground.

With a slight bank to the right, our Cathay jet pro-ceeded on course over Da Nang, now a huge and bus-tling city, with tall buildings and the haze of pollution from industry, vehicles and motorized scooters. We left the Vietnam mainland, pass-ing over the southernmost edge of the Gulf of Tonkin, en-route to Hong Kong.

Having had enough, I closed the window shade, and reflected on what I had just observed, and thought of the pain and suffering ex-perienced by so many in the jungles below.

In my mind’s eye, I had seen him, standing in uni-form so proud to be a Marine pilot from Randolph, that little farm town in North-east Nebraska. Lost from his wife, family and friends on his 101st mission 45 years ago, Larry Robinson, along with all our veterans, can never be forgotten.

With Christmas the time for renewing ties with fam-ily, friends and loved ones, h e r e ’ s a story t h a t may be s o m e -w h a t of a record. Eighty n i n e -y e a r o l d M a r y Catherine Adam of Fair-field, formerly of rural Bat-avia, has had a pen pal in Australia for 77 years, and counting. Yep.

Little Mary Catherine (then) Pacha was 12-years old (or thereabouts) when her teacher in Pleasant Plain talked about pen pals and provided a list of addresses for the kids to choose from.

Mary Catherine picked Betty Myles in Albury, Aus-tralia, mainly because Mary Catherine was fascinated by the idea of kangaroos and Aborigines throwing boo-merangs.

Several months later, Mary Catherine was con-fused when she received a strange looking letter in the mail. It may have been the first letter she had ever re-ceived.

Then she remembered — her pen pal.

Betty Myles was quick to set Mary Catherine straight about the number of Ab-origines and kangaroos, similar, she suspected, to the presence of American Indi-ans and buffalo in America. But the seed was planted for a lifelong relationship with a friend in a foreign country through letters.

Remember the art of let-ter writing?

At first the two girls talk-ed about what they were do-ing in school, their families, and what they wanted to be when they grew up. Mary Catherine was surprised that Betty’s handwriting was so similar to other girls in her class; and to realize that life in Australia wasn’t all that much different from America. They had big cit-ies, and small towns, rural and urban areas, just like America.

She noted the differ-ence in terminology, like “bush” for woods or forest; and, more recently, “wheelie walker” for “walker” or the differences in procedures,

like dialing 000 for the am-bulance, instead of 911.

The pen pals were con-fidants, someone to talk to over the years about what was going on in their lives. And there was plenty going on. Mary Catherine and her husband had 13 chil-dren on their farm that was one mile east of the Eldon Y.

One of their sons, Steve, was killed in a tractor acci-dent when he was only four years old. Her husband was driving the tractor, and he never did get over the tragic accident.

Being able to write to a stranger, an unbiased pen pal about what was happen-ing in their lives was such a relief, a load shared.

Then, of course, there was always politics to dis-cuss. In a letter from last year, Betty Myles in Aus-tralia laments:

“You must be sick and tired of your elections which have been going on. We all get sick of same thing here. We have to vote, otherwise I wouldn’t bother.”

Mary Catherine was able to visit Betty. She and her husband went on a cruise to New Zealand and Australia. Mary Catherine and Betty had exchanged pictures, so they knew what each oth-er looked like; but Mary Catherine was pleased to see that Betty’s personality was as soft and gentle as her letters portrayed.

Betty had never married. Her finance had been killed in the war, whereas Mary Catherine’s husband had come home from World War II — a major topic in many of their early letters.

Both the same age, both almost ninety now, their letters have dwindled to once a year — a card and letter at Christmas. Mary Catherine bundles herself against the unusually cold December weather.

Her daily exercise doesn’t consist of much more than a walk to the mail box. But she makes that trip, no mat-ter how cold and windy it is.

It’s nearly Christmas. There may be a letter from Betty.

Class adopts family from St. Nick’s

Submitted PhotoRecently Judy Rodewald’s daily and community living class at Berg Middle School gave back to the community by adopting a family from the St. Nick’s Christmas Club. Pictured (front row, from left) are Mollie Bird, Christian McMghghy, Akasha Neufarth, Baileigh Vest, Cheyenne Nida, (back row) Jordan Danks, Evelyn Van Sickle, Sue Ranard, Judy Rodewald, Chase Satterfield and Melissa Gilchrist.

Veteran’s Memorial Fund and Commission Committee is having placed upon the court-house’s east lawn.

As Doug Bishop once told the Jasper County Board of Supervisors:

“Two rocks are better than one.”

Bubba said he is more than happy to add Jasper County’s Freedom Rock to his rota-tion of murals. He estimates he repaints between 10 and 15 rocks a year, including the original Freedom Rock locat-ed in Greenfield.

“It keeps me pretty busy from April through October,” he said.

He also elaborated on how the original Freedom Rock came to be.

“It was an idea I had awhile back,” he said. “Right around the time Sen. (Chuck) Grass-ley was campaigning for the Senate and he makes a point to visit all 99 counties in Iowa. And I thought, ‘How cool would it be to have a painting in all 99 counties in Iowa?’”

“It just kind of blossomed from there,” he continued. “Then I thought, ‘I need to come up with a game plan and an announcement.’ Within a year, I booked 60 counties of the 99 counties.”

While Bubba never served in the military, he is a dedi-cated supporter of the armed forces. His dedication to and love of America’s military is evident in his work, which has received a lot of praise.

“Way back on the original Freedom Rock, my inspira-tion just really came from my uncle, who served in Vietnam, and what he we went through when he came back home,” Bubba said. “He didn’t get a very good welcome back and that kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.”

Along with his uncle’s mistreatment another thing helped inspire him.

“I watched the movie ‘Sav-ing Private Ryan’ when it came out in like 1999 and I was very inspired by the first half-hour when the guys were storming Normandy,” Bubba said. “Watching that … I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ to our veterans.”

Last week, the Newton Public Li-brary received a Library Technology Grant from the he State Library of Iowa.

The $1,500 grant will be used to

purchase an iPad, a Kindle Fire HDX, and a Nook HD to be used for staff development, staff training, and for public demonstration/teaching. SLI awarded 63 technology grants rang-ing from $800 to nearly $13,500 to 97 Iowa libraries from funds allocated by

the Iowa General Assembly.“All the winning applications made

a strong case for how the use of tech-nology would improve the lives of Iowa citizens,” State Library Consul-tant Marie Harms, the grant coordi-nator, said.

Court defines residency for spouses fleeing abuseDES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa

Supreme Court on Friday upheld a domestic abuse protection issued to a woman against her husband, re-jecting his argument that it wasn’t valid because she sought the order in a county where she had sought refuge only days earlier.

The case required the court to de-termine for the first time the defini-tion of residency in the context of a spouse fleeing alleged abuse. In this instance, the abuse was reported in southern Iowa’s Decatur County while the petition was filed in How-ard County, about 250 miles away.

The justices concluded that any-one seeking a domestic order of pro-tection only needs to demonstrate that they currently live in the county in which they’re seeking the order.

In researching Iowa law, the jus-tices found various residency re-

quirements for different purposes.An earlier Iowa law required a

six-month minimum residency to obtain a divorce, and one section of the Iowa Code includes a one-year, good-faith minimum residency re-quirement for a petitioner filing for divorce from a spouse living in an-other state.

A relaxed residency requirement is appropriate in cases of alleged do-mestic abuse, the court concluded.

“A more stringent legal residency requirement would discourage vic-tims of domestic abuse from moving away from their abuser’s home coun-ty or delay relief for those who do move to another county,” the court said. “As the facts of this case dem-onstrate, victims fleeing abuse often are required to seek temporary shel-ter while they are displaced and their lives are in disarray.”

The case affirms the protective order Teri Root obtained against her husband of four years, Talton Toney.

The Supreme Court opinion ex-plains the background of the case, saying Root fled their farmhouse in Decatur County near the Missouri border Oct. 7, 2011, after Toney al-legedly choked her with a belt with three of her five children watching. She took the children and drove to Howard County, just across the state line from her hometown of Preston, Minn., where her parents live.

After receiving medical care, she filed a petition for relief from do-mestic abuse.

Toney attempted to move the case back to Decatur County saying Root had only lived in Howard County for three days. In court documents he said any hearings should be held in Decatur County.

At 6:27 a.m. Sunday, the NFD responded to a fire at a residence located at 520

N. Third Ave. E.Newton Fire Marshall

Mike Knoll said the fire started in a bedroom on the backside of the house on the second floor and was con-tained to that bedroom. He

said there was also smoke and heat damage to a sec-ond bedroom upstairs and water damage to the first floor of the house.

Knoll said the residence was occupied at the time of

the fire but everyone made it out safely.

DEAR ABBY: Christmas is com-ing, and I dread it. I have only my brother, his wife and their kids. I’m on Social Security disability and I barely make it each month. They buy me gifts, but I feel embarrassed to accept them because I can’t buy anything for them. It makes me feel small.

Even though I have nothing to of-fer my nieces, my brother and sister-in-law persuade me to go anyway. They are financially much better off than I am.

I lost my wife a year ago. I see ev-eryone else having someone in their lives and I feel alone. There’s just me and my dog now. The holidays hurt. What can I do? — MISERABLE IN MASSACHUSETTS

DEAR MISERABLE: You have something to give to your relatives. It’s the gift of your PRESENCE. If you have a talent, share it with them.

Because this is your first Christmas without your wife, it’s no wonder you feel alone. At this time of year, many people do. A way to lessen the sense of isolation would be to do something for someone else. If you’re able, volunteer at a food bank, a homeless shelter, a se-nior center. It will give you less time to brood, and you will feel welcome and needed.

DEAR ABBY: I recently went on a first (and last) date with a “gentle-man.” He ordered himself a beer and a prime rib dinner. He never asked me if I wanted anything to eat or drink.

As flabbergasted as I was, I have a theory: Men today ARE different from those of the past, and my guess it’s be-cause the pierced and tattooed gals to-day speak and act like sailors, therefore ruining it for the rest of us. Am I right? — PUZZLED IN FLORIDA

DEAR PUZZLED: No. You need to speak up! The RULES OF DAT-ING have changed over the last de-cades. Many women expect — and prefer — to pay for their own meal and

drinks on a first date. It has nothing to do with whether they are tattooed or use four-letter words. They like their independence, and sometimes earn more than their dates do.

DEAR ABBY: After 25 years of marriage, my wife no longer wants to shave her legs. She is starting to look like a gorilla. I think it’s a slap in the face. She says it has nothing to do with me. I don’t know if I should move to another zoo or buy her some bananas. — PEEVED IN POUGHKEEPSIE

DEAR PEEVED: This may be your wife’s way of rebelling, just as some retired men forgo shaving be-cause they no longer “have” to. Or, the winters in Poughkeepsie may be so cold she feels she needs the insulation. Stay in the zoo you’re used to — after all, it’s home. (If it’s causing problems in your marital relations, close your eyes and pretend it’s cashmere.)

** ** ** DEAR ABBY: Would it be a breach

of etiquette to enclose a self-addressed, stamped (blank) thank-you note with gifts I plan to send to my grandchil-dren, since they do not respond when I mail them gifts or cards? — GRAND-MA IN MARSHFIELD, MO.

DEAR GRANDMA: I think it’s a great idea as a last resort — and no, it would not be a breach of etiquette to do so.

Prevent Tap Water Burns

About 500,000 scald burns occur annually in the U.S. Young children and the elderly are at in-creased risk because their skin is thinner. The elderly may also be less sensitive to temperature and slower to move away from scald-ing water. Hot water can cause third-degree burns in 15 seconds at 133 de-grees F and in 5 seconds at 140 degrees F, which is the default temperature set by most manufactur-ers. The Burn Foundation recommends having hot-water taps set to 120–125 degrees F to reduce the risk of accidental burns. Always check the tem-perature of the bath before putting a child into the wa-ter and never leave themunattended.

Organizers hopeful about saving bridge

DES MOINES (AP) — Organizers trying to save a 115-year-old bridge in Des Moines say they’re optimistic about its future, following more communication with city officials about whether the closed structure should be reno-vated instead of demolished.

Sarah Oltrogge, president of the Des Moines Historical Society, said efforts are underway to get formal support from the City Council and the Park and Recreation department. She said support is building to save the bridge, which will help with a private effort to raise money needed to repair and preserve the structure.

“We really feel like enough people have raised their voices in opposition to tearing down the bridge that we’ve been heard. So I’m glad to see that the tide is changing a bit on (the council’s) stance of wanting to tear it down and they’re more willing to work with us,” she said. “There’s still a big road ahead to fundraise, but we’ll worry about that when we get there.”

Oltrogge is among a small group of people try-ing to raise money for the bridge, which crosses the Raccoon River, just upstream from the wa-terway’s confluence with the Des Moines River.

The bridge has multiple names, includ-ing the Southwest Fifth Street bridge and the Jackson Avenue bridge. City officials closed it in March due to safety concerns about how much weight it could support.

The bridge, built in 1898, has unique architec-ture not found on many other bridges in the urban areas of Iowa. It initially served as a link between downtown Des Moines and a growing Italian im-migrant population on the city’s south side.

Minnesota man returns to Iowa

to face charge in 16-year-old slaying

IOWA CITY (AP) — A Minnesota resi-dent has been returned to Iowa to face charg-es that he killed his wife in Iowa City more than 16 years ago.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen reported John Bloomfield faces a first-degree mur-der charge for the September 1997 death of 57-year-old Frances Bloomfield. Her body was found in a ditch outside of Rockford, Ill. Authorities believe she was strangled at the couple’s home and her body dumped in Il-linois.

John Bloomfield said at the time that he had been away on a business trip.

He made his first court appearance Friday in Johnson County District Court via a video feed from the Johnson County Jail.

A judge set bail for the 73-year-old Bloomfield at $1 million. His preliminary hearing is Dec. 23.

US stocks sharply higher NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose sharply on

Monday, powered by two big corporate deals and news that suggests the economy is getting stronger.

The gains follow a down week. Stocks have turned volatile ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting that begins on Tuesday, as investors bet on whether the central bank will start to reduce the stimulus that has boosted stock prices this year.

At 9:50 a.m. Eastern, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 169 points, or more than 1 percent, at 15,925. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 16 points, or almost 1 percent, to 1,792. The Nasdaq composite was higher by 40 points, or 1 percent, at 4,041.

All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 were higher, led by technology stocks.

Two major deals caught investors’ attention: Chipmaker Avago Technologies is buying LSI Corp. for $6.6 billion. Avago was up $4.36, or al-most 10 percent, to $50, while LSI rose $3.05, or 39 percent, to $10.96. AIG is selling its aircraft leas-ing business for about $5.4 billion to Dutch leasing company AerCap. AIG has been selling major as-sets after getting a bailout during the fi nancial crisis. Its shares rose $1.10, or 2.2 percent, to $50.83.

Also Monday, the Federal Reserve said factory production accelerated in November as auto pro-duction surged. The gains in manufacturing could help boost economic growth.

Just last week, such positive reports were making investors nervous. That’s because they feared that the Fed would think that the economy is doing so well that its $85 billion in monthly bond-buying is no longer needed.

However, economists are almost unanimous in believing that the Fed will not begin winding down its stimulus program just yet. It will release a state-ment and projections for the economy Wednesday.

In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading Brit-ish shares was up more than 1 percent, while Ger-many’s DAX rose almost 2 percent. The CAC-40 in France was 1.5 percent higher. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 index slid 1.6 percent despite a report from Ja-pan’s central bank showing improved business senti-ment.

NEWTON — Home sweet home.Newton’s bowling teams had their home

opening meet Saturday. The Cardinals en-joyed hitting their home lanes at Cardinal Lanes against Knoxville.

The Cardinal girls powered their way to their second straight dual win, beating Knoxville by 388 pins. Newton racked up 2,277 pins to Knoxville’s 1,889.

Newton’s boys lost — 2,590 to 2,554 — to Knoxville.

“The boys gave a very solid perfor-mance. They lost a close battle by only 36 pins. They faced a 71-pin defi cit after the individual games, fought back, and just fell short in the Baker round,” said Seth Ban-well, NHS bowling coach.

“The girls displayed a lot of energy on the lanes and produced a nice team score. This is a very strong team that knows what it

takes to improve from week to week.”Madison Humphrey threw a 203 game

in the opening round. Humphrey fi nished with a 368 to lead Newton. Mariah Gon-zales posted a 316 (144-172) and Erica Bailey bowled a 303 (144-159).

Courtney Tabor rolled a 266 (123-143) followed by Kirsten Young at 241 (105, 136) and Makayla Tabor with a 223 (112-111).

The girls’ Baker games were 201, 122, 153, 188, 171 for a total of 835.

“Knoxville is one of the toughest teams in our conference. Hopefully this victory will give our girls some momentum that will carry throughout the rest of the season,” Banfi eld said. “They are consistently mak-ing good shots and making the right chang-es when improvements need to be made.”

Off the Snide NHS girls net fi rst win, beating Eagles

PELLA — Rebounding has proven a strong suit for Newton Senior High’s Cardinal girls this basketball season. Pella Chris-tian’s Eagles has more height among its players than a lot of teams they play.

The Cardinals and Eagles met Friday at PCHS in Little Hawk-eye Conference play. The Eagles were 4-3 overall and 1-1 in con-ference play while the Cardinals were winless in fi ve games.

Rounding was key in a close game from the beginning. The Cardinals did what they had done fi ve times before — out-rebounded their opponent. New-ton controlled 34 rebounds, an even split off the offensive and defense glass, and allowed Pella Christian only 21 rebounds.

Between the rebounding edge, a strong free-throw shooting showing and solid defensive play, the Cardinals claimed a 40-35 win over their hosts.

“Newton is a great rebound-ing team and I told our girls that they (the Cardinals) would rebound hard against us,” said Kevin Van Maanen, Pella Chris-tian head coach. “We didn’t re-bound well. We didn’t execute offensively and played soft on

defense.”Newton had struggled, when

games were on the line, at the line this season. Not Friday night. The Cardinals cashed in on 16-of-21 from the free-throw line.

Lizzie Stock, the lone senior on the Cardinal team, hit both ends of a one-and-one with 38.2 seconds left on the game clock. The two charities pushed New-ton’s lead to fi ve points. A defen-sive rebound by Newton got the ball back in the Cardinals’ hand and Sarah Kalkhoff went to the line with 15 seconds remaining.

Kalkhoff ’s attempt was off but there for the offensive re-bound was Newton teammate Hannah Rhoads. The Cardinals held onto the basketball as the fi nal seconds ticked off.

“We’ve talked about the im-portance taking care of the bas-ketball. We only had 11 turn-overs tonight and at the end the girls took care of the ball to seal the win,” said Brandon Sharp, Newton head coach.

Sharp pointed to the defensive effort by the Cardinals, espe-cially Michaela Jacobsen against Pella Christian senior Lauren Jungling. Jungling is the Eagles’ leading scorer, average almost 14 points a game and is the team’s leading 3-point shooter. Jungling

was held scoreless by the Car-dinals and only attempted one shot.

The Eagles got out to a 6-3 lead. Tessa Howerzyl led the charge with back-to-back bas-kets for Pella Christian. Sydney Jenkins drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game at 6-6 before the end of the fi rst quarter.

During the second period, the teams traded baskets and points. A Stock basket at the 4:36 mark put the Cardinals up 13-11. PC’s Brooke Mitrisin had back-to-back baskets to give the lead back to the Eagles.

Jenkins had a fi eld goal to make it 17-16. NHS teammate Alex Hutchinson sank four straight free throws to give the Cardinals the 20-17 lead.

A 3-pointer by PC’s Hower-zyl forged a 20-20 tie with 34 seconds left in the fi rst half. A putback by Shelby Gray and a free throw by Hutchinson hand-ed Newton a 23-20 lead at the break.

Pella Christian couldn’t catch Newton again until two minutes into the fourth quarter, tying it at 29-all on a bucket by 6-2 Hannah Beltman. Free throws by Jenkins and a follow shot by

Eagles, Lions squeeze past Cardinal boys

NEWTON — On back-to-back nights, Newton Senior High’s Cardinal boys lost heart-breakers.

First came, a 73-72 loss at Pella Christian Friday night in Little Hawkeye Conference play. Satur-day at home, the Cardinals pushed visiting Des Moines Christian’s Lions to overtime, losing 69-64.

Newton is 2-3 overall for the season. The Cardinals are 1-1 in Little Hawkeye action while the Pella Christian Eagles improved to 2-1 in conference and 4-2 over-all.

“It’s a learning process for these kids. Some of these kids haven’t been in this situation and they are learning how to fi nish games, especially close ones,” said Nick Wilkins, Cardinal head coach, following the loss at Pella Chris-tian Friday night.

“Against Des Moines Chris-tian, we just ran out of gas late in the game. The effort is there from our kids. They played hard Friday night then played hard for three and a half quarters Saturday. It was a combination of mental and physical fatigue.”

In Saturday’s contest at home, the Cardinals built a 34-25 lead by halftime but the Des Moines Christian Lions came back to within six, 49-43, going into the

MARSHALLTOWN — Twice a year, Newton’s swim team participates in a unique-ly set-up swim meet, in which every event is a relay. It’s much different than most swim-mers are accustomed to, and although the format caused some hiccups among some of Newton’s younger swim-mers, coach Dave Hook still saw it as a nice opportunity to branch out of the team’s com-fort zone.

“It was a different meet. That’s for sure. Overall, I thought we did well. There was good competition,” Hook said. “We have another one up in Waterloo in early January that’s set up like this. It’s just a fun way to run a meet. It’s dif-ferent. I like it. It’s a fun meet.

It gives kids a chance to swim with kids they usually wouldn’t. So, in that aspect it’s nice, but for some of the newer swim-mers, it can be confusing.”

Where the hiccups came for Newton were in some spe-cialized events. The 200-yard freestyle relay and 400 free-style relay teams were both disqualifi ed due to some con-fusion on the number of laps each swimmer was supposed to swim, according to Hook. This dragged Newton’s team total down.

Newton fi nished in fourth place with 46 points. West Des Moines Valley took the win with 73, followed by Marshalltown (67). Cedar Rapids Kennedy placed third with 57 points.

“It was a learning experience for us. We had a couple DQs on relays, which obviously hurt our scoring,” Hook said. “Those two DQs put us behind the eight ball. It’s a good learning meet for some of them. I think we’ll be fi ne. It’s just a little hiccup on the road to success.”

Newton’s bright spots started with sophomore Austin Bunker. Bunker teamed with Jake Lensing in the team’s two-man 400 relay to take fi rst at 4:20.58. Bunker, Lens-ing, Aaron Kind and Paul Dehart fi nished second as the 200 medley team at 1:48.21. Bunker and Josh Bailey won the 200 backstroke at 1:59.38.

Lensing also had a notable day in his own right. Lensing and Lo-gan Norcross took second in the 200 breaststroke at 2:21.53.

“Austin Bunker had a very good meet, along with Jake Lensing. Those two really good job for us in the relays,” Hook said.

Newton’s JV fi nished fourth with 35 points.

Newton will head home to take on the No. 1 team in the state in Dowling Catholic on Tuesday. Hook sees the meet as a great op-portunity to see where his Cardi-nals stack up against the premier program they are up against. Then, Newton will go back to Marshall-town on Thursday for its last meet before the Holidays in a dual with the Bobcats.

“We have a couple meets this week,” Hook said. “We’ll move forward from here. With Dowl-ing, we’ll probably let some of the kids some events that they aren’t accustomed to, and with the Mar-shalltown dual, that will be a close, good meet.”

JEFFERSON — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Raider boys powered to their third straight win Friday night against host Greene County’s Rams. The Raiders used a strong fi rst half to establish a 17-point lead at half-time on their way to a 64-46 win.

CMB’s girls are scoring points. The Raid-ers seem to always be playing catch-up as they did Friday night against Greene County. CMB’s girls lost 52-44.

Greene County’s girls staked out a 20-11 fi rst-quarter lead over CMB and kept the Raider girls at arm’s length. It was 34-26 at halftime.

with 16 points. Stacy Mears added 10.The CMB boys rolled out to a 17-10 lead

by the end of the fi rst quarter. The Raiders were up 37-20 at the break. The second half was almost even with the Raiders holding a 27-26 scoring edge on the Rams.

CMB’s girls (0-7) and boys (3-2) play three home doubleheaders this week. They host North Polk Tuesday then en-tertain the Prairie City-Monroe squads Friday and Grandview Park Baptist Sat-urday.

SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s girls stayed perfect for the season, beating Belle Plaine 52-33 Friday night in South Iowa Cedar League play. The Hawk girls are 6-0.

It was not a good night on the home hardwoods for the Hawk boys. They were tripped up by the Belle Plaine Plainsmen 57-47. Lynnville-Sully’s boys are 2-2.

The Hawk teams host Iowa Valley Mon-day than travel to Montezuma Tuesday.

“It was tough night for the Hawks. We did not shoot the ball well and Belle Plaine played with a lot of intensity,” said Nick Harthoorn, Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach.

Lynnville-Sully’s boys were down 29-26 at the break. The Hawks slipped and Belle Plaine forged ahead on a 13-6 surge in the third quarter.

Ben Trettin scored 13 points for the Hawks and dished out four assists Darin Hofer had 12 points, nine rebounds and four blocked shots. T.J. Cunningham scored 10 points. Kyle Van Dyke pulled down eight rebounds.

The Plainsmen were 18-of-35 from the free-throw line in the game. Trey Squires fi red in 20 points and Justin Jacobi added 18 points.

The Hawk girls shot 41 percent from the fi eld while holding Belle Plaine to 24 per-cent. They led 24-16 at halftime and used

a 16-10 run in the third quarter to stretch their lead.

“The girls did a good job on defense mak-ing it diffi cult for Belle Plaine to get their offense going,” said Jerry Hulsing, L-S girls’ head coach. “The end the fi rst half and in the third quarter we had a good run extending our lead. Our offense was good in the third quarter as I thought we had good spacing which allowed us to attack the basket.”

Cassie Cullen pumped in 22 points for Lynnville-Sully. Madison Rasmusson chipped in with 10 points, plus had fi ve of the team’s 14 steals. Lysandra James pulled down eight rebounds and made four steals.

Kameo Pope had a double-double for the Belle Plaine girls with 19 points and 16 rebounds.

On Saturday morning, the Lynnville-Sully girls’ junior varsity improved to 6-0 with a 33-26 win at Montezuma. Brenna Lanser poured in 10 points and nine re-bounds. Melissa Vos controlled 11 rebounds and Jelissa Rozendaal had nine rebounds.

“We gave great effort Saturday, having only six players dressed, due to injuries,” said Jeff Corbett, L-S assistant coach. “We ran into some foul trouble early, but made excellent adjustments in style to avoid fur-ther foul issues. Our man-to-man defense continues to improve, and created many turnovers and easy transition baskets. I am proud of the development we have shown early in the season.”

JEWELL — Seconds — that’s how close Colfax-Mingo’s girls came to win-ning their fi rst game of the season. McK-enzie Cogley had just stolen a pass and gotten the layup, despite getting fouled on the play, to give C-M a 35-32 lead with two minutes remaining.

With Cogley atop the 3-2 zone to prevent perimeter passing, C-M’s de-fense was holding and looked poised to close out South Hamilton. However, the Hawks scored twice: pulling within one point on a fl oater in the lane with 1:17 left and then taking the lead for good on a post-move spin that led to a layup by Hawk junior Savana Stangeland. That bucket by Stangeland held up as the game-winner, 37-35.

“What a tough loss, defi nitely a hard one to swallow,” C-M coach Michell Grant said. “It came down to the third quarter, and in the most important quar-ter of the game, we didn’t come out ready to keep putting the pressure on them.”

Cogley led the team with a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds. Alivia Haley and Jessica Albright each added fi ve points, and Dakota Hostetter had four points for C-M.

The game was deadlocked at nine points apiece after one quarter of play. C-M took a six-point lead early on in the second quarter. Albright nailed a 3-pointer to put the Tigerhawks up 17-11. Later, Jena Teed hit a 3-pointer to give C-M its biggest lead of the night at 22-15. The Tigerhawks took a 22-16 lead into halftime.

Stangleand came out aggressive in the third quarter. She hit a couple of driving shots and a baseline jumper to pull within two points. South Hamilton’s press forced steals, halting the C-M offensive rhythm. Cogley kept C-M in it with some tough offensive rebounds that led to open shots under the basket. Stangeland hit a layup as time expired to give S. H. a 29-27 edge

heading into the fi nal quarter. C-M’s larger lead in that quarter was

the aforementioned three-point edge, which the Hawks were able to overcome in the fi nal seconds.

C-M’s girls now sit at 0-6 on the sea-son, and things will not get any easier for the Tigerhawks this week. The girls head to Monroe to take on conference rivals Prairie City-Monroe. PCM’s Mustang girls have yet to lose at home, and it will be a challenge for the lady Tigerhawks to try to keep pace with the Mustangs, who have a track record of scoring with some regularity.\

“As a team we are defi nitely improving each game, we just need to continue that growth as the season continues,” Grant said.

JEWELL — C-M’s boys will and have play much closer games than the one against South Ham-ilton’s Hawks, but Friday night, it was not in the Cards for the Ti-gerhakws, who lost 83-34.

C-M is now 0-5 on the year. South Hamilton came out very aggressive, pressing from the open-ing whistle. The Hawks got out to a 12-0 run to start the game. Steals by Collin Hill and Trevor Ullestad led to layups, and sharp perimeter passing led to open 3-pointers for the Hawks.

C-M was unable to bottle up Ullestad, who stroked 5-for-7 from long range and led the Hawks with 23 points. He was also sharp passing the ball, dishing out seven assists.

The Tigerhawks began to break the press late in the fi rst quarter and were able to silence some of the scoring early in the second quarter. Senior Nate Smith hit the fi rst bucket of the game, which seemed to wake up C-M. Colin Lourens added points toward the end of the quarter with three free throws, and C-M trailed 28-7 af-ter one quarter.

C-M played a much smoother game in the second quarter. The

Hawks started off on a 6-0 run, but a timeout by C-M coach John Borts seemed to get the team back on the right track. Senior James Stocker hit two inside shots to close the gap. Sophomore Jake Lietz knocked down two mid-range shots and hit a coast-to-coast layup, bringing the Tiger-hawks within 19.

The Hawks bounced back after a timeout. They were able to close out the quarter and take a 41-17 lead into halftime. The third quar-ter was basically a repeat perfor-mance of the fi rst, C-M was un-able to break the press, which led to easy buckets for the Hawks. S. H. carried a big lead through the end of the game.

Lietz led the Tigerhawks with 13 points from the fi eld in his best offensive show-ing so far this season. Lourens had seven points for C-M, and Stocker had six.

Matt Hislop led South Ham-ilton in assists with nine. C-M’s Juan Gonzales led the Tigerhawks with three. Smith led C-M with fi ve rebounds.

C-M heads to Prairie City-Monroe on Tuesday, in what will be a tough matchup for the Ti-gerhawks. Coach Fred Lorensen has PCM out to a 5-0 start to the season.

STORY CITY — Prairie City-Monroe’s basketball teams split games against Roland-Story on Friday. PCM’s boys topped the Norsemen 58-49 after a second-half comeback, but the Mustang girls fell 69-60 after getting be-hind early.

PCM’s boys were down 22-19 at halftime, their fi rst halftime defi cit of the season.

A strong third quarter due to some scoring by senior Devon Woody and Ricky Reeve led the Mustangs to take a lead head-ing into the fourth quarter. PCM sunk 10-of-13 free throws, which helped the Mustangs close out the game.

Woody led the Mustangs with 17 points. He also picked up fi ve rebounds. Reeve’s 10 points were a season-high for him, and he appears to be nearly 100 percent healthy after breaking his fi nger toward the end of football season. Senior Zach Uhlenhopp nearly had a double-double with nine

points and nine rebounds. Logan Gilman led the team in assists with fi ve.

For the Norsemen, Tyler and Zach Hovick gave the Mustangs trouble. They chipped in 15 and 16 points, respectively, with Zach Hovick adding 10 rebounds to make it a double-double.

The boys are now 5-0 on the year.

PCM’s girls fell 69-60 to the Norse. R-S controlled the game for the fi rst three quarters, and de-spite a herculian effort of 34 points from Courtney Van Houweling, PCM came up short of a come-back.

Van Houweling lit it up for PCM, scoring more than half of the team’s points on 11-for-23 shooting and 4-for-7 from long range. She added 11 rebounds to lead the team. Senior Abbi Gil-son had nine points, and freshman Katie Vande Wall had eight.

PCM’s girls moved to 4-3 with the loss.

PCM’s teams play a girls-boys double header against Colfax-Mingo in Monroe on Tuesday.

fourth quarter. Wilkins said the Cardinals were up by two points and had the bas-ketball late in the game.

“We turned the ball over and they were able to hit a shot as time ran out to tie the game,” Wilkins said. The teams were knotted at 60-all at the end of regula-tion. Des Moines Christian outscored Newton 9-4 in the overtime for the win.

Chandler Sturtz went 9-of-10 from the free-throw line for the Cardinals on his way to a game-high 23 points against DMC. Sturtz also had seven re-bounds and four assists. Tyler Wood fi red in three 3-pointers for Newton, scoring 17 points and grab-bing seven rebounds.

The Cardinals shot 42.5 percent, 23-of-54, from the fi eld and the Lions went 24-of-57 for 42 percent. DMC cashed in on 17-of-30 free throw attempts while New-ton hit 12-of-20.

Des Moines Christian got 17 points and 10 re-bounds from Keaton Van-Soelen. Noah Hart added 17 points and Luke Veen-stra had 16 points.

“We have to work on some small things. Our of-fense has been there all sea-son. We just have to execute better down the stretch, taking care of the ball. We also have to work on keep-ing opponents off the offen-sive boards better,” Wilkins said. “We gave up too many easy looks on putbacks in the last three games.”

Newton has a week to work on its game. The Car-dinals are back in action this coming Friday at home against Knoxville in Little

Hawkeye Conference play. They play at Marshalltown in non-conference action this Saturday.

At Pella Friday, the Car-dinals were down one with 13.9 seconds on the game clock with the basketball. Newton had another Little Hawkeye Conference win in sight. After a timeout, the Cardinals went right at host Pella Christian, which was going after a LHC win also.

Wood drove down the baseline but his reverse la-yup didn’t go in for the Cardinals. The Eagles’ Se-bastian Baugh was fouled on the rebound with 5.7 seconds left. Baugh hit his fi rst free throw attempt but missed the second and Newton took the rebound.

Newton’s Nick Easley was fouled on a drive. Ea-sley was at the free-throw line shooting two with the Cardinals trailing 73-71 and 1.2 seconds left in reg-ulation. Easley’s fi rst shot went through the net. The second attempt bounced off the rim.

Pella Christian rolled to a 12-1 start against New-ton led by the hot outside shooting of Baugh. Baugh hit his three 3-pointers in the fi rst quarter. The Eagles didn’t miss much from any place on the court in the opening period.

On a 3-pointer by Levi Jungling pushed the Eagles’ lead to 29-17 with 5:27 left. That was countered with a three-point play from New-ton’s Joe Banfi eld.

Newton was behind by 12. It got back into the game, scoring seven straight points to end the fi rst half. All seven came from Wood, who had two baskets and a 3-pointer. The Eagles held

a 39-34 lead at halftime.The Cardinals outscored

the Eagles 9-4 in the fi rst four minutes of the third quarter. They tied the game at 43-43 on two free throws by Wood.

The Eagles reeled of 10 unanswered to regain the lead. A basket by Daquan Allen pulled Newton to within nine again, 59-50, at the end of the third quarter.

The fourth quarter was a fl urry of scoring. The Car-dinals battled to take their fi rst and only lead of the night with 1:37 left in the game.

Sturtz hit the front end of a one-and-one then the ball bounced off the foot of an Eagle on the missed sec-ond attempt. Devin Shores got the basket to make it a one-point game. Easley scored on a fastbreak to give Newton a 67-66 lead.

Jared VanWyk’s free throw tied the game. A free throw by Nate Haveman put the Eagles back in front then Baugh stole the basket-ball and laid the ball in for a 70-67 advantage with 53 seconds on the game clock.

Easley connected for the Cardinals and Newton took a timeout with 40 seconds left. Jungling broke free on the inbounds play for Pella Christian for an uncontest-ed layup.

Both head coaches agreed it came down to hit-ting a couple of free throws or missing them at the end. The Cardinals were 12-of-23 from the charity stripe while the Eagles only at-tempted eight free throws, hitting four.

Easley sank two free throws with 25 seconds left then Jungling was at the line but a lane violation by

Pella Christian gave the ball to Newton, down 72-71.

Newton connected on 28-of-57 from the fi eld for 49 percent. Pella Christian shot at a 56-percent clip, 31-of-55, from the fi eld. Newton held a 33 to 21 edge in rebounding.

atop the scoring list with a 358 (191-167). Cox chalked up the lone 200 game (202) for the boys and fi nished at 357. Miller had a 355 (182-173).Jake Karlzen posted a 330 (157-173) and Nick VerSteeg had games of 168 and 151 for 319. Bryan McMahon had a 297 (138-159).

In the Baker games, the New-ton boys had 201, 122, 153, 188, 171 for 835.

“This meet could have gone either way,” Banfi eld said. “The boys missed several key spares that cost us the win. We will fo-cus on our spare game next week in practice; we can’t afford to miss single pin spares.”

Newton’s bowlers go to Oska-loosa for a triangular meet with Pella Christian and Oskaloosa this coming Saturday, Dec. 21. That will wind up the competi-tion until January.

Gray pushed the Cardinals back in front.

Up by two points with 2:50 left in the game, Rhoads’ 3-pointer gave the Cardinals some breathing room. Jacobsen dropped in two free throws a minute later to keep it out there.

Howerzyl scored at the 1:26 mark to pull the Ea-gles to within three, 38-35. Stock knocked down the two free throws.

“I try not to think about anything when I go to the line,” Stock said. “I just block everything out. We’ve been really working on hit-ting free throws in practice. This win means a ton to

us as a team. We’ve been working for it. We knew it was going to come.”

Stock said the key for the win was the mindset of the Cardinals. “We came to-gether and stayed together the whole game,” she said.

Newton shot just 24 per-cent, 11-of-46, from the fi eld while Pella Christina went 15-of-38 for 39 per-cent. The Eagles were 4-of-6 at the line.

The Cardinals owned a 34 to 21 rebounding edge over the Eagles. Newton had fi ve players with fi ve or more rebounds. Jacob-sen led with eight and Gray claimed seven rebounds.

“We have girls who com-pete. Our inside players and

our guards go in and battle on the boards,” Sharp said. “We did not have a very good week of practice. The girls came together and righted the wrong with a strong practice Thursday and it carried over into the game. Our girls didn’t panic and played with poise.”

Jenkins fi nished with 12 points for Newton, hitting 5-of-6 free throw attempts. Hutchinson was also 5-of-6 at the line, fi nishing with seven points. Hutchinson dished out two assists and Rhoads had two steals.

Howerzyl led Pella Christian with 11 points. Beltman added nine points and had 12 rebounds. How-erzyl was credited with fi ve

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Nine Newton wrestlers com-peted and scored points for the team in the 2013 Council Bluffs Wrestling Classic. The tournament featured 28 high school teams from fi ve states, hosted by Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln High School at the Mid-America Center Friday and Saturday.

Kearney, Neb., won the team title with 541.5 points. Newton fi nished 16th with 221.5 points. Teams from Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Minnesota were in the fi eld.

“We wrestled well as a team,” said Andy Sweden-hjelm, Newton head coach. “I was happy with the team effort. We had a lot of highs and lows as a team, but it was great learning experience, as the competition was as good as any we will see until the state meet.”

Seniors Ray Schroder, Koby Hull, Joey Wright and Jacob Williams and sopho-

more Parker Schuster fi nished in the top 10 of their respec-tive weight classes. Schroder, Hull, Wright and Williams each won their pool action on Friday.

Schroder captured third place in the 195-pound di-vision. In the champion-

ship quarterfi nals, the New-ton senior won by ultimate tiebreaker, defeating Riley Prescott of Fort Dodge 4-2. Schroder lost by a technical fall (18-3) to Lance Benick of Totino-Grace (Minn.).

Schroder faced Keyes Nel-son of Nebraska City for third

place. The two battled and Schroder won in a tiebreaker No. 1 situation, 4-2.

“Ray lost to the No. 1 ranked 195-pounder in the nation. He beat a couple of state place winners in some different states so I think this weekend was a real confi -dence booster for him,” Swe-denhjelm said.

“Koby wrestled well and got fi fth place. He let one match get away from him in overtime and it cost him as by losing that match the best he could get was fi fth.”

Hull’s loss came in the fi rst round of the championship bracket. He lost in overtime 6-4 when Andrew Nielsen of Plattsmouth (Neb.) got a takedown to win 4-2. That put Hull into the consolation side of the 106-pound division.

Hull pinned Nick Cornwall of Spirit Lake then won by a 7-0 decision of Riley Alder-man of Olathe North (Kan.). In the fi fth-place match, Hull met up with Nielsen again. He made quick work of the Nebraska wrestler, pinning him in 47 seconds.

Wright went 5-2 in the 220-pound weight class to take seventh place. He pinned four of his opponents and won the seventh-place match by medical forfeit over Aaron Griffi th of Kearney (Neb.).

Williams was 4-3 in the tournament, fi nishing eighth in the 285-pound division. His four wins came by pins of opponents. He lost by a pin to Gabriel Ledesma of Kearney in the quarterfi nals. Williams lost by medical forfeit in the consolation round four and forfeited the seventh-place match.

At 120, Schuster was 2-4 for 10th place. Cole Peters placed 14th at 126 and Hunt-er Versteegh was 16th at 113. Brett Wolf and Sean Cook each placed 21st at 152 and 170, respectively.

Astrograph

An opposition of the moon and Mercury sets up a contrast — and we are creatures who learn through this. We need negative examples to understand the positive ones. That’s why those who have known poverty appreciate wealth the most and why the sweet-est happiness is born out of an increased capacity for emotional pain.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 16). You’ll live an example of opposites attracting this year, and you may actually find love with someone who once rubbed you the wrong way. January brings a victorious end to a battle. February pulls you into a natural healing process. Increased vital-ity will be yours in 2014. March brings a shining career moment. Leo and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 20, 1, 14 and 39.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are times when you’ve been uncomfortable sharing your opinion with others because you felt yours

was not likely to be a popular stance. Now you’ll share precisely for the same reason.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life isn’t always easy or fair, but mentally strong people like you don’t waste time dwelling on the inequi-ties.You’ll be busy doing what it takes whether or not your deal happens to be fair.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You refuse to say that another person makes you sad or angry. For starters, you don’t want to give anyone that much power. Regard-less of another person’s intent, you can always choose your response.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re adaptable, but not every change is worthy of the ef-fort. Carefully assess the change that’s being proposed, and determine whether it’s in your best interest.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re all busi-

ness today. People may accuse you of being overprotective of your time, but they don’t realize that it’s one of the few things worthy of your protection. Once the hour is up, you don’t get it back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you need a good reason to make yourself happy, consider this: When your spirit is untroubled, you can see your circumstances for what they really are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re cautious some of the time, while being fully aware that anyone who is cautious all of the time isn’t really living. The risk you take this afternoon will either shock or amuse people.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A Spanish proverb says that if there is no bread, cakes are very good. Having run out of average options, you will enjoy decadent ones and feel as though it was meant to be this way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You hate getting stuck in a boring meeting semi-listening to people who’d rather talk about their work than actually do it. However, your atten-dance at today’s gather-ings will be extremely important.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A missed opportu-nity this morning is no fault of your own. Your luck seems to be sleeping on the job. There’s only one thing to do in this case: Wake it up!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When standing still, you will have the time and space to think or, more likely, to overthink. Get into motion, and you’ll have just the right kind and amount of men-tal energy to invest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). To experi-ence surprise, create an atmosphere of spontane-ity around you. Everyone will have more fun in an environment that invites people to feel playful.
