NWS forecasting 4 to 6 inches of snow for Jasper CountyBy Daily News Staff

The National Weath-er Service in Johnston has issued a Winter Storm Warning in effect for noon Tuesday until 6 a.m. Wednesday for an area of south-central Iowa, including Jasper

County.Forecasters are pre-

dicting a storm system that will bring with it moderate to heavy snow-fall, strong winds and yet another “polar plunge” of thermometers will begin moving into Iowa late Monday night into

Tuesday. The bulk of the forecast snowfall is not expected, however, until Tuesday afternoon.

Monday afternoon, the NWS forecast in-dicated 4 to 6 inches of snowfall for Jasper County, with the north-ern part of the county

expected to be closer to 4 inches, while the south-ern part could see isolat-ed amounts closer to 6 inches. Strong winds in excess of 25 mph are ex-pected to coincide with the heaviest snowfall, making for dangerous travel conditions.

Once the storm has tapered off, however, another arctic blast of sub-zero temperatures is expected. Actual air temperatures at or below zero are to be expected with wind chill values as low as minus-35 F pos-sible.

hiekkila excited to see hollywood Week edition of American IdolBy Zach Johnson

Daily News Staff Writer

On Jan. 30, Dani Hiekkila was able to tell everyone she was one of the 21 artists from the Omaha auditions of “American Idol” to get a golden ticket to Hol-lywood.

“It was extremely fun. There were definitely a lot of people there,” Hiekkila said. “It was kind of cool in the hold-ing room to get all the

artists together with all the guitars and everyone singing. I gained a lot of friendships there.”

Hiekkila still keeps in contact with several of the other contestants.

“Everyone was amaz-ing, but my friend Dustin, who is from Georgia, has an amaz-ing voice,” Hiekkila said. “Paula Hunt, who I met during the auditions, re-ally stood out to me as well.”

During the audi-

tion episodes, “Ameri-can Idol” introduced the chamber holding room, which was the room artists waited in before heading out to perform for the judges.

“They take you with five other artists in a line. Once your turn is up, you go into the chamber,” Hiekkila said. “It has a mirror right in front of you with cameras above

Ankeny man killed in crash on Iowa 330

By Daily News Staff

An Ankeny man died as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle crash Sunday morning on Iowa Highway 330 northwest of Baxter.

According to the Iowa State Patrol, Craig Alan Dilley, 48, of Ankeny was traveling southbound on Highway 330 at the 5-mile marker when the 2006 Volvo XC7 sport-utility vehicle he was driving entered the ditch and struck a rock creek bed. The 5-mile marker on Highway 330 is located less than a half-mile south of the Jasper-Story-Marshall county line.

Dilley’s vehicle sustained heavy front-end damage, causing him to become trapped in-side. Mechanical extracation equipment was used to get Dilley out of the vehicle. He was then airlifted by LifeFlight to Iowa Method-ist Medical Center in Des Moines, where he later died.

Two Newton men have been arrested and charged in connection with a string of thefts in Jasper County.

According to Sheriff John Halferty, investi-gators in his office com-pleted an investigation Friday into several re-ports of theft in eastern Jasper County dating back to June of last year. The thefts were reported to have occurred at Star Auto in Sully, the City of Kellogg and at Todd’s Tire, also in Kellogg.

That investiga-tion led to the arrest of Randy Birkenholtz, 40, and Christian Wolfe, 20, both of Newton. Birkenholtz is charged with three counts of second-degree theft, a Class D felony, and one

count of fourth-degree theft, a serious misde-meanor.

Wolfe is charged with two counts of second-degree theft.

Jasper County ISU Extension receives federal grant

By Daily News Staff

U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack announced Monday the Jasper County ISU Extension Office will receive nearly $24,000 from the Corporation for National and Community Service as part of the Retired Senior Volun-teer Program grant program.

“Iowans know first-hand the impact that dedicated volunteers can have on a commu-nity,” Loebsack said. “Our state ranks third in the nation for volunteering, and this funding will provide opportunities for seniors to utilize the skills and wisdom earned from a lifetime of experience to benefit the community.”

RSVP is a national program that uses the skills, talents, and experience of thousands of Americans age 55 and older to engage older Americans in volunteer opportunities across the country. These grants were competitively awarded.

The Jasper County ISU Extension Office in Newton will receive $23,753 to provide support and facilitate access to services and resources that contribute to improved educa-tional outcomes for the poor, especially chil-dren, and for children with special or excep-tional needs.

Lucille ‘Lucy’ Ritter Crom

Jan. 31, 2014

Lucille “Lucy” (Rit-ter) Crom, 83, of Ge-neva , Ill., passed away Friday, Jan. 31, 2014, under hospice care at GreenFields of Geneva.

Lucy was born Feb. 6. 1930, in Newton, Iowa, the daughter of Roy A. and Lettie Inez (Rhor-danz) Ritter. She spent her early years on the family farm near Reas-nor where she attended a one-room country school and was signifi-cantly influenced by her involvement in 4-H.

As a Newton High School student she wrote for the school newspaper, participated in the marching band and was elected to a na-tional scholastic society. At Iowa State Univer-sity she majored in child development, was active in numerous campus or-ganizations and a mem-ber and vice president of Sigma Kappa Sorority.

On June 9, 1950, she married Robert L. (Bob) Crom and moved with him to Mason City, Iowa. There she did vol-

unteer work with the local YWCA and occa-sionally joined Bob in his broadcasts on radio station KGLO featuring agricultural and home-making news.

While living in Al-exandria, Virginia she worked in Washington, D.C., for an insurance adjusters firm. In Fargo, North Dakota, she was a founding member of Faith Methodist Church and active in the North Dakota State University Faculty Wives Club. At Michigan State Uni-versity she was a staff member at the Center for English as a Second Language. During the family’s years in Ames, Iowa, she worked for 20 years in the Office of Admissions and Records at Iowa State where co-workers described her

as “always so kind and thoughtful.”

Upon her husband’s retirement as director of extension and outreach at the National Asso-ciation of State Univer-sities and Land-Grant Colleges, in 1993, they moved from Washing-ton, D.C., to Ten Mile Lake near Hackensack, Minn. There she be-came a deacon in her church, active in PEO, and served on the Board of the Walker Area Food Shelf.

Lucy loved animals, flowers and the beauty of nature. Above all she found satisfaction in the love, cohesiveness and support of her family during times of illness, trauma and tragedy.

She was preceded in death by a son, Richard (Rick) Crom; brother, Howard Ritter; sis-ter, Dorothy Horman; and her parents. She is survived by her hus-band Robert and three children, Penny Crom (Chris Mroz) of Grand Junction, Colo., Linda (William) Kearney of Winfield, Ill., and Ran-dall Crom ( Julie) of Washington, D.C.; five grandchildren, Alisa,

Scott and Nick Kear-ney and Hilary and Max Mroz; and one great-grandchild, Ryan Scott Kearney.

Visitation will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Feb. 4, at Yurs Funeral Home, 1771 West State Street, Geneva, IL 60134. A memorial service will be at Union Congregation-al Church in Hacken-sack, Minn., on Monday, July 28, with visitation an hour before the 11 a.m. service. Burial will be at the Ames (Iowa) Municipal Cemetery at a future date.

“Newton police officers witnessed the vehicle crossing over the center line and driving off onto the shoulder and sub-sequently attempted to initiate a traffic stop,” Burdess said. “The driver of the vehicle refused to stop for the officer and sped up. Newton police officers pursued

the vehicle through Jasper County and into Polk County reaching speeds in ex-cess of 100 mph.”

The driver of the vehicle, later iden-tified as Thomas Allen Johnston, 51, drove through “stop sticks” placed in the roadway near Mitchellville and Altoona, despite deflated tires. He then exited I-80 and traveled along I-235 in Des Moines.

Burdess said the pursuit came to an

end at approximately 1:13 a.m. near the Easton Blvd. exit on I-235. Once stopped, however, Johnston refused to obey officers’ commands and was physi-cally restrained.

Burdess said the Newton officers were assisted by the Colfax, Mitchellville and Altoona police departments, the Iowa State Patrol and the Polk County Sher-iff ’s Office.

Johnston was transported to the Jas-

per County Jail and charged with felony eluding, a Class D felony; OWI, first of-fense, an aggravated misdemeanor; driv-ing with a suspended license, a simple misdemeanor; and interference with official acts, a simple misdemeanor. Ac-cording to online court records, he has dozens of criminal convictions, most of them for alcohol-related offenses; he was sentenced to five years in prison in 1998 for OWI, third or subsequent offense.

All letters are subject to edit-ing for grammar and punctuation, or to remove potentially libelous material. Send letters to P.O. Box 967, Newton, IA 50208, or to newsroom@newtondailynews.com via email.Opinions expressed in letters and columns are those of the writers and

do not represent the views of the Newton Daily News.

To be honest, anyone who starts a sentence with the words, “to be hon-est,” probably isn’t.

Say what?It’s true. Start-

ing sentences with expressions like “to be hon-est” or “to tell the truth” actu-ally indicates that you are not at all going to be hon-est and not even coming close to telling the truth, and you know it. That’s why your sneaky little unconscious brain used the verbal “tee-up” phrase in the first place.

I discovered this hot linguistic news flash in an Elizabeth Bernstein article in The Wall Street Journal. In her story, “Why Verbal Tee-Ups Like ‘To Be Honest’ Often Signal Insincer-ity,” Bernstein turns to the academic community to reveal the downright dishonesty lurking in these common phrases. (Of course, the academic community has a $2 word for such expressions. They’re called “performa-tives.”)

According to James W. Pennebak-er, chair of the psychology department at the University of Texas, Austin, performatives may seem harmless, formal, maybe even polite. That’s the problem.

“Politeness is another word for de-ception,” Pennebaker explains. “The point is to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self.”

Once you discover that our world is full of performatives, you’ll be amazed at how many times a day you hear — or say — “I want you to know” or “I’m just saying” or “I hate to be the one to tell you this.”

At the very least, these tepid tee-ups give us time to consider what we’re going to say. We need a beat to figure out how to put the best spin on what is going to be a particularly nasty spit-ball, or to convince ourselves that it’s perfectly OK to tell a co-worker that her breath smells like a broken sewer main, because we “hate to be the one to tell you this.”

Naturally, we go right ahead with the slam, because, after all, we’re not just mean or just evil or just sadistic. “We’re just saying.”

One acutely wounded victim of a personal performative attack is Betsy

Schow, a 30-something fitness consul-tant in Alpine, Utah, interviewed by reporter Bernstein. Arriving at one of Schow’s yoga classes, a friend deliv-ered a whispered message that started with the dangerous phrase, “I’m only telling this because I love you.”

Following this declaration of yoga solidarity and affection, the friend lovingly “pointed out that lumps were showing beneath Ms. Schow’s yoga clothes and said people laughed at her behind her back.”

As someone whose lumps are vis-ible under a stadium blanket, you will surely understand Schow’s reaction to this declaration of love, which, by the way, was followed up with an offer to provide the name of a plastic surgeon who specializes in liposuction.

You and I are used to people laugh-ing behind our backs, but Schow felt like she was “hit in the stomach with a cannonball,” and realized that her helpful friend wasn’t really being helpful, or, for that matter, a friend. (I don’t want to diminish Schow’s pain, but it strikes me that being “hit in the stomach with a cannonball” might be an excellent way to explain that gi-ant glob of adipose hanging over your belt. Just saying.)

While the thrust of Bernstein’s ar-ticle is to make us more forthright in our communications, I think there is another lesson here for me and thee. Especially thee.

Being so excellent at everything you do, you likely find quite a lot of occasions in your life where it is nec-essary for you to criticize a co-worker, a friend or a spouse. As you have prob-ably noticed, these helpful critiques do not always result in the expected response — a heartfelt “thank you for pointing out my weaknesses. I’ll en-deavor to do better in the future.”

What you need, my perfect friend, are a few powerful performatives. One of my favorites is “I want to say.” As in, “I want to say that you are excellent at your job” or “I want to say that replac-ing my Barcalounger with a $7,000 dollar Italian sofa is an excellent idea.”

Yes, you want to say it, but, of course, you can’t, because your co-worker totally stinks at his job, and the only way anyone is going to re-move your Barcalounger is over your dead body, but you’ve smoothed over the waters well in advance, and now, no one could ever get mad, or hurt, or hurl a frying pan at you.

Hey, I’m only being honest here.

The First Amendment

I am pretty terrible at making a first impression. Realistically, I am terrible at making a twelfth im-pression, but that’s beside the point.

In the history of worst first impressions I generally rank somewhere in between Benito Mussolini, Crystal Pepsi and the Segway. Hannibal Lecter accidentally stumbling into an American Vegetarian Associa-tion meeting still isn’t as bad as a first impression that I usually end up executing.

Making a stellar first im-pression is a critical character-istic to posses when one lives next to a rental property like I do.

I’ve seen renters come and I’ve seen renters go. In their wake I have managed to leave behind a jarring series of embarrassing first impressions that would leave even Kim Jong-un envious — before he would strip you naked and feed you to starved hunting dogs that is.

So it stands to reason the relationships I have forged with neighbors in the past have been some-where between astoundingly atrocious to outra-

geously awful — and that is putting it mildly.I mostly blame my inability to make a good first

impression for this. Either that or it is my chronic anti-social behav-

ior and my desire to be naturally mistrustful of out-siders that is to blame. It is one or the other that much I know for sure.

Loving thy neighbor might have been the par for the course in the Beaver Cleaver days of yore, but society has changed since then. Loving thy neigh-bor is optional and subject to a thorough social me-dia background check.

My mentality on the matter at hand is to secretly observe new neighbors through the blinds. Then, after carefully considering whether or not it is worth the trouble of getting to know them, properly intro-ducing myself as a member of polite society.

As a result it usually takes me a couple of months before I bother bidding a new neighbor with a kind wave hello or a general nod in recognition of mutual coexistence.

Or sometimes none of the above. Don’t believe me?

Two neighbors back, my first impression involved a call to 911 concerning my brand-new neighbor. I was sitting on the couch when I noticed a man

clutching a large butcher knife walking up to my neighbor’s porch and he began frantically banging on the front door.

I try not to be a super nosy neighbor, but I tend to pick up on those sorts of observations if for no other reason than self-preservation.

My neighbor after that was a woman who kept weird hours. I think a whole year went by before I even considered introducing myself to her. What would I say to her anyway after such a long passage of time?

Then one day I had to introduce myself to her because my large maple tree fell over and nearly squashed her car.

Let’s just say it was a terrible first impression I left that day and leave it at that.

A year later my other large maple tree tumbled over, nearly crashed on her house, and caused a con-siderable amount of property damage. Again, let’s just say it was a terrible second (and last) impression and leave it at that.

Hoping to learn from the past I aspire to soon properly acquaint myself with my new neighbors before too much time passes. I just hope the first impression that I leave with them proves better than it has in the past.

You never get a 12th chance to make a first impressionUsual Eccentric

Landfill clay material to Newton Water Works for a Federal Emergency Management project. Water Works will be con-structing a berm around the water treatment facil-ity. The council approved to the agreed upon price of $20,000, which comes out to $1 per cubic yard of material.

The council approved the sale of the timber in Maytag Park and Wood-land Park to Machin L.C. of Newton for the price of 22 cents. City staff identified 13 oak trees in Woodland Park and nine oak trees in Maytag Park that have died or will be dead within the next year.

The council approved a resolution approving an agreement for private de-velopment with Newton Senior Residence, LLC, in the North Central Ur-ban Renewal Area. The agreement states the city would provide a $150,000 grant toward the project’s site work, including curb improvements, sidewalks, lighting, utilities and oth-er infrastructure. It will also include a 10-year

partial property tax rebate of up to $25,000 per year, beginning in 2016-17.

At the Jan. 20 city council meeting, Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Darrell Sarmen-to made a proposal for the Traffic Safety Committee to reconsider the current parking restriction for winter time parking, fo-cusing on the downtown area.

The council has ap-proved new parking plans for the downtown area. The new plan is to allow parking in the Downtown Snow Removal District anytime, except when downtown snow hauling operations are declared by the Public Works Op-erations Superintendent or designee by telephonic means identifying that downtown snow hauling operations are declared. This is the same method currently used elsewhere in town for snow plowing operations.

The first reading was passed by the council. Af-ter the passing of the first reading of the ordinance, Councilor Craig Trotter moved to suspend the second and third reading of the ordinance, which

was passed by the council.The council approved

a resolution entering into an agreement with the Weekend Pit Stop Inc. organization for event purposes on the Newton square called Thunder Nights in Newton.

“Weekend Pit Stop Inc. is our company, which helps us with re-maining a non-profit or-ganization,” Bob O’Brien said.

The council approved a resolution repealing the 2013 City of Newton Supplemental Specifica-tions and adopting the 2014 City of Newton Supplemental Specifica-tions.

The council approved the contract with Terra-con Consultants to per-form additional environ-mental assessment work for former manufactured gas plant site. The need of the resolution was to address the concerns of the Department of Nat-ural Resources regard-ing the contents of the former gasometer and a nearby underground oil storage tank. DNR has requested additional as-sessment work.

The council approved an agreement with HLW Group L.L.C. to pro-vide professional services for the Newton Sanitary Landfill. The Iowa DNR

requires groundwater sampling and gas moni-toring at landfills. The agreement goes for three-years with HLW pro-viding inspections, sam-pling, statistical analysis, reporting, financial as-surance calculations and engineering services. The fees of the services are estimated at $14,600 to $20,350 per year with ad-ditional services, if need-ed, estimated at $5,000 per year.

The city plans to up-date the city’s Compre-hensive Plan and Strate-gic Action Plan this year. The council approved to retain National Citizen Survey to conduct a com-

munity wide survey. The survey is the first step in implementing the up-dates to both plans. The purpose of the survey is to assess City services and to identify priorities and issues with those services.

The council approved the addition of the De-velopment Specialist position to the city staff and the promotion of Joe Grife from Engineering Tech II to an Engineer-ing Tech III. The posi-tion of Engineering Tech II will be eliminated.

The city staff wanted to remind the commu-nity to attend the Brand-ing Community Rally on Feb. 11 at 5 p.m.

Chelsea Jo Miller, 26, had been charged in July of 2012 after a six-month investiga-tion found her son, Kaiden, had died as a result of inju-ries sustained while in his father’s care. Miller testified last month in the trial of the child’s father, Joseph Olea, who was convicted of causing the child’s death.

Miller and Olea had lived together in an apartment in Newton at the time of their son’s death. During testimony in the Olea trial, she said she

had been at work at Wells Fargo in West Des Moines and called Olea repeatedly throughout the day the child was rushed to the hospital with symptoms related to his injuries.

Olea was charged, but ac-quitted, of first-degree murder and was convicted on a second charge of child endangerment resulting in death. Miller was charged with child endanger-ment resulting in death.

Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen filed a motion Monday morning at a pre-trial conference to dismiss the charge against Miller. In his motion, he said the testimony

in the Olea trial cleared her of any wrongdoing.

“In light of the jury verdict in that case, the undersigned believes the defendant has been exonerated in this case and does not believe a con-viction beyond a reasonable doubt can be obtained,” the motion stated. “The state’s theory in this case was that Joseph Olea committed child endangerment resulting in death by the commission of an intentional act. The defen-dant was charged under the theory that she knowingly al-lowed Mr. Olea to care for her child, creating a substantial risk to her child’s safety. The

state cannot prove Ms. Miller knowingly subjected her child to a substantial risk.”

District Court Judge Rich-ard Clogg accepted the mo-tion and ordered the charges dismissed. Miller had been previously scheduled to stand trial beginning on Wednesday, March 5, at the Jasper County Courthouse.

New Trial DatesAlso on Monday, Clogg or-

dered two other major cases be continued. Drew Orndorff, charged with third-degree sex-ual abuse, will have a pretrial conference on his case Mon-day, March 10; trial is slated to

begin Wednesday, April 16.Due to complications in

scheduling arising from James Brock’s pending change-of-plea proceeding on federal child pornography charges, his Feb. 26 court date was post-poned. A motion to suppress evidence collected at the time of his arrest was also contin-ued.

The pretrial conference and motion hearing will now take place Monday, Feb. 24, at the Jasper County Courthouse. Trial in his invasion of privacy, sexual exploitation of chil-dren and second-degree sexual abuse case is now scheduled to begin Wednesday, May 14.

An employee of Star Auto reported June 21 of last year that scrap metal and parts, valued at $1,100, were stolen from the facility. Another report was filed July 15 that more scrap metal and parts, val-

ued at $2,000, had been stolen.An employee of the City of Kellogg

reported Jan. 16 that iron sewer grates, valued at $3,200, had been stolen from outside the city’s public works build-ing. Todd’s Tire in Kellogg reported the theft of car parts valued at $500.

“Fortunately, both Star Auto and the City of Kellogg had access to sur-

veillance cameras which provided sus-pect and vehicle information,” Halfer-ty said. “Based upon this information, Jasper County Sheriff ’s deputies con-tacted the residents of 627 W. 2nd St. S. in Newton.”

A consent search was conducted, which resulted in locating both the suspect vehicle and items related

to the reported thefts. As a result, Birkenholtz and Wolfe were both ar-rested and charged.

“The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office continues to investigate additional re-ported theft cases,” Halferty said. “We would like to thank the employees of Star Auto and the City of Kellogg for their assistance in this investigation.”

and behind you. The room also had a microphone. It’s pretty much you sit there and watch yourself. It really knocks you down for some people. I was more nervous sitting in the chamber room. I literally thought I was go-ing to pass out because I am claustrophobic, and it was basically a little closet. Many of the artists did have some embarrassing moments in there because you’re trying to fix yourself up, but once the green light goes on, you’re set

to go in front of the judges.”The judges greeted Hiek-

kila and asked her a few questions before her perfor-mance.

“Keith Urban asked me about my guitar, and I was so starstruck when he asked me who made my guitar, and I responded with, ‘I don’t know,’ even though it is writ-ten on the guitar,” Hiekkila said. “I was sweating really bad. When I get nervous, my hands get really cold, which made it hard for me to play guitar. In my opinion, the whole audition wasn’t the best I could have done, but it was probably good overall

because they passed me on to Hollywood Week.”

Hiekkila chose “Who You Are” by Jessie J for her audi-tion song. The judges asked her to sing a song without guitar, so she sang “Listen” by Beyoncé. Urban asked if Hiekkila sang anything by Carrie Underwood, so Hiek-kila sang “Blown Away” by Underwood.

“Harry Connick Jr. was the only judge that gave me a no. Urban gave me a yes,” Hiek-kila said. “JLo ( Jennifer Lo-pez) and I had a stare down. She wasn’t sure, but gave me a chance and said yes. I in-stantly started bawling.”

There were 4,800 people who auditioned in Oma-ha, and only 21 of the art-ists made it to Hollywood. “American Idol” auditioned a total of 75,000 artists, and 212 artists received a ticket to Hollywood.

“I would say the Holly-wood episode will have a new twist, so everyone will want to be watching for that,” Hiekkila’s mother Renae said. “It should be interesting for us to watch.”

American Idol’s Holly-wood week begins Wednes-day Feb. 5.

“We hope she will be on this episode, since her audi-

tion didn’t run for the Oma-ha episode,” Renae said.

Last summer, Hiekkila was waitressing at Raceway Café as well as doing impromptu performances. When it was revealed she received her ticket to Hollywood, the community and many others have rallied behind her.

“Going to the grocery store or Walmart, many peo-ple stop and say congratula-tions,” Renae Hiekkila said. “It’s truly been a surreal ex-perience.”

Dani Hiekkila also will be featured live on Kix 101.1 in Marshalltown at 7:45 a.m. Wednesday.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I live in a 55-plus retirement community. We do many things together, but we also do things independently. One resident decided to form two men’s clubs. One meets every week for breakfast, and the other twice a month at night. The mem-bers go to each other’s homes for the eve-ning meetings.

Abby, the man who started these clubs is chauvinistic. He made a rule that women are not allowed in their own homes when their husbands host a meet-ing — “no skirts allowed.” Therefore, even though the wife prepares everything for her husband’s meeting, she’s told to slip out of the house before anyone ar-rives.

My husband agrees that this is ridicu-lous and is considering quitting the club, but he has formed friendships with some of the men. The guys are bamboozled by the leader and tell their wives that any-thing said at a meeting is “confidential.”

The obvious solution would be to meet at a coffee shop, but the man in charge says the homes provide a more intimate setting. My husband feels bad about it, and I don’t want him to quit a group he enjoys. Any suggestions? — GOOD LITTLE VEGAS WIFE

DEAR GOOD LITTLE WIFE: It appears the founder of the clubs has his head stuck firmly in the 1950s. And while we can’t change that, I do have some suggestions.

The first is that the wives stop pre-paring anything and let the “bachelors” do it themselves or order takeout or deli for their meetings. The second is that the “widows” join together for an evening of fun while the men are having their meetings. Of course, nothing that hap-pens during these ladies’ evenings of fun should be shared with the husbands — including what they did or what clubs they may have visited.

P.S. Because your husband feels bad about how the women are being treated, perhaps he should consider attending

only the breakfast get-togethers and see-ing those men in the evening group he has bonded with independently.

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend loses her keys, wallet, credit cards or iPad every day. I have suggested ways to avoid losing her keys. For example — always use the same pocket in her purse or put them in a bowl by the door. She doesn’t do it. I think it is to spite me.

She has now become resentful that I have become impatient about it. I’m frus-trated because this is something that can easily be fixed, and I’m tired of searching for 20 minutes for whatever she has mis-placed. What can I do? — BEYOND FRUSTRATED IN L.A.

DEAR BEYOND FRUSTRAT-ED: The first thing you should do is understand that your girlfriend isn’t doing this to upset you, and it’s pos-sible that she becomes as upset as you do when it happens. While I agree that part of the problem is that she’s disorga-nized, it could also be that her thinking is scattered. When she puts something down, she isn’t fully in the moment. Her thoughts may be on something else.

Frankly, there isn’t anything you can do about it. If there is a solution to your girlfriend’s problem, it’s that she should slow down and think about EXACTLY what she’s doing when she’s doing it, which is sometimes easier said than done.

Bowling is a sport I knew of early in life. My mother was a very good bowler when I was young and we were living in Kansas City, Kan. She even had an offer to bowl on an entry-level profes-sional tour. She turned it down.

M o m watched the PBA Tour bowling ev-ery Saturday afternoon, in season.

But ... I admit I’ve never cov-ered bowling as a sport. So, I’m learning on the fl y here in New-ton as I watch Newton Senior High School’s bowling teams this season. I was disappointed to fi nd out you are not permitted to take photos during competitions. That limits coverage a bit.

Before the season began, NHS bowling coach Seth Banwell gave me a quick short-course on high school bowling. He has given the Daily News complete results, helping me along the way.

The Cardinal girls have wrapped up fi rst place in the Lit-tle Hawkeye Conference. They are undefeated at 11-0 after Sat-urday’s fi nal home meet.

The Cardinal boys are start-ing to hit their stride down the stretch. They’ve put together wins over the past few weeks to im-prove to 7-4.

Picking up steam as they roll toward the Class 1A regional tournament is a good thing. It’s what Banwell and the Cardinal bowlers have been working to-ward — to be bowling their best as they enter the postseason.

Another cool thing is the Car-dinals are bowling on their home lanes — Cardinal Lanes — Feb. 18 in the regional.

Banwell pointed out to me at the beginning of the season that Newton’s high school bowling program has built a strong tradi-tion and reputation since it was sanctioned six year ago. So, I did a little research.

NHS’s girls advanced to the Class 1A state tournament four years in row — 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 — as a team. The Cardinal girls were third in 2009, second two straight seasons and third again in 2012.

Individually for the girls, New-ton has had three place in the top 10 at state tournaments. Noella Van Brogen placed 10th in 2009 and 2011. Brandi Collins claimed third place in 2010 and Emily Braga took third in 2012.

Erica Bailey, currently a ju-nior on the NHS bowling team, competed in the 2012 state tour-nament as a freshman. Bailey fi n-ished 15th.

Newton’s boys have not quali-fi ed a team for the state tourna-ment yet. Banwell knows its just a matter of time for the Cardinals.

Newton’s Kyle Rojohn quali-fi ed as an individual for the boys’ state tournament in 2011.

Newton’s girls and boys were Little Hawkeye Conference champions a year ago. The Cardi-nal teams lost out to Knoxville in the regional tournament.

Youth is powering the Newton teams this season. Neither Cardi-nal varsity team has a senior on it. Both have three juniors.

The Cardinal girls have a cou-ple of sophomores and a freshman while the boys have two freshmen and a sophomore on the team.

Cardinal bowling is a sport to watch for this season and over the next few seasons.

NOT A SUPER BOWL — I’m an old AFL (American Foot-ball League) and AFC fan simply because I love the Kansas City Chiefs. So, I should have been cheering on the Denver Broncos in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Not so much. The Broncos looked like deer caught in headlights.

Seattle’s Seahawks soared and scored at will. The Seahawks used to be in the AFC division with the Chiefs and Broncos.

Newton’s 2014 Little Hawkeye Conference wrestling champions are (left to right) senior Koby Hull at 106 pounds, senior Ray Schroder at 195 pounds, sophomore Hunter Versteegh at 113 pounds and senior Joey Wright at 285 pounds. The four led the Car-dinals to fourth place at Saturday’s conference tournament at Norwalk.

Cardinal wrestlers motivated at conference championships

NEWTON — Revenge is a strong word.

Newton senior Joey Wright stepped on the mat for the 285-pound champi-onship match at Saturday’s 2014 Little Hawkeye Con-ference tournament. Four days earlier, Wright lost by a pin to Norwalk’s Trystan Minnis in the very same gymnasium at Norwalk.

“Wresting Minnis in the fi nals and winning felt re-ally good since he beat me

on Tuesday,” Wright said. Minnis had pinned Wright in regular season action.

Wright recorded two wins by pins in the quar-terfi nals and semifi nals Sat-urday. That set up a match for the championship with Minnis. Wright built up an 8-4 lead through two peri-ods. A reversal to start the third put Wright in front 10-4 on his way to a 10-7 win and the title.

Wright, who had been sidelined with a medical sit-uation, 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.

“It feels really good to be back on the mat wrestling. It felt really good to go back to Norwalk and win a championship,” Wright said.

Sophomore Hunter Ver-steegh won his fi rst Lit-tle Hawkeye Conference championship, claiming the gold in the 113-pound division. He also went up against a Norwalk wrestler

he had faced and defeated last Tuesday.

Versteegh made quick work of Tyler Hirl of Nor-walk in the 113-pound title match. Versteegh had pinned his other two op-ponents on the day as he advanced to the champion-ship. He turned Hirl and recorded the winning fall at the 1:07 mark.

“It was pretty intense,” Versteegh said of winning a

COLFAX — In a rematch of Fri-day’s game, Colfax-Mingo’s Tiger-hawks headed home to take on Ro-land-Story. Although the fi nal score refl ected a much closer game, the re-sult was the same for C-M as the Ti-gerhawks took a 66-36 loss.

The fi rst half was where the Norse-men took a big lead. R-S started the game out on an 8-0 run following a converted three-point play by junior Adam Shorkey, which prompted C-M coach John Borts to use a timeout.

Senior Nate Smith got the Tiger-hawks on the board with a 3-pointer. R-S then went into a press, which forced several C-M turnovers. Senior Zach Hovick answered Smith’s three with one of his own. Colin Lourens pulled C-M within seven after going 1-of-2 at the free throw line, and the Tigerhawks began to press.

Sharp passing allowed R-S to move its way up the fl oor through the pres-sure. Senior guard Ben Clark got to the rim with a layup to make it 16-4 Norsemen. John Barclay hit a pair of free throws to close out the fi rst quar-ter with the Norsemen ahead, 22-4.

Tyler Hovick hit a 3-pointer to open the second quarter for R-S. James Stoecker answered for C-M with a putback off an offensive rebound. Barclay responded with a three. Zach Hovick drained another 3-pointer,

and R-S led 31-6. Jake Lietz nailed a jumper in the lane for C-M, but Zach Hovick drained another three.

Roland-Story decks C-M girls

COLFAX — The prover-bial monkey is off their backs. Colfax-Mingo’s girls got their fi rst win of the season more than a week ago, but win No. 2 has not been easy to come by. C-M looked as though it was poised to pull off a comeback attempt against the visiting Norse from Roland-Story, but a fourth-quarter run put away the Tigerhawks, 68-47.

“We played an excellent game, despite the loss,” C-M coach Michelle Grant said. “We had a game plan to stop their offensive facilitator and we executed it exactly as we wanted. Unfortunately, doing so meant forcing them to make shots from the outside, which they were able to do in the fourth quarter.”

C-M fell behind early as the Norse jumped out to a 16-3 run to start the game. R-S ran a 1-3-1 zone defense that was

limiting the Tigerhawks to outside chances, but C-M had several inside shots rim out or hit the side of the rim. Fresh-man Alivian Haley drained a shot from deep to pull C-M within 10 before the fi rst quar-ter buzzer sounded.

Foul trouble kept the game at a slow pace during the fi rst half, allowing the Tigerhawks to hang around. R-S was in the bonus with less than two minutes gone from the second quarter. Up 17-7, senior Natalie Vance drained a three for R-S. Jessica Albright took advantage of her opportu-nity at the foul line by making 1-of-2. Back at the other end, C-M switched into a 2-3 zone, which limited the Norse oppor-tunities to outside shots.

the win.Devin Shores led the JV with

Blake Summy found a cut-ting Jared Myers for two more C-M points. Jerlad Fritz got a runner to go off a baseline drive for R-S.

Clark sank two free throws before haltime to close out the quarter with R-S ahead by 30, 44-14.

The Tigerhawks played R-S to a second-half stalemate. However, the 30-point loss still stings.

With five games left before postseason play, the Tiger-hawks are 0-17.

“I thought we played with much more energy defensively in the second half,” Borts said. “Offensively, we struggled in the first half. We need to get more post opportunities. We’ve progressed, but we still have a ways to go.”

The Tigerhawks travel to Saydel at Saydel on Tuesday and return home Friday to play Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

ON FRIDAY, the boys had trouble scoring early and didn’t find a rhythm until late against the Norsemen.

R-S used some sharp shooting to get out of the gate on a 25-4 run in the fi rst quarter. C-M doubled its scoring effort in the second but still trailed, 37-12, heading into halftime. The Ti-gerhawks lost the third quarter, 20-10, and although they put to-gether their best performance of the night in the fourth, the game was already out of reach.

C-M had trouble containing R-S’s Adam Shorkey, whose 13 points came on 6-of-6 shoot-ing.

Zach Hovick led the Norse-men with 16 points on 3-of-11 shooting, including a 9-of-11 performance from the free throw line.

the game and promptly stole a pass and went coast-to-coast, fi nishing through a foul and converting the free throw. Haley later sunk a foul shot to pull C-M within eight. Russell stole another one and converted the layup. Ju-nior Kristen Waline knifed through the lane for a bucket before the half, putting the Norse ahead, 24-16.

R-S went on a 5-2 run early in the third quar-ter, but that was stopped when McKenzie Cogley converted a three-point play off of an offensive re-bound. Albright drove to the bucket for a pair and Jena Teed knocked down a fl oater, pulling C-M within four. A couple of minutes later, Breawna Schroder fed Russell in the post, and she convert-ed to make it a two-point game.

Vance drove baseline and hit a fl oater to give R-S breathing room. Brittany Hammes convert-ed a three-point play, and R-S led 38-31 follow-ing the free throw.

Albright kept the Tigerhawks in it as she split the press and went right to the bucket for the easy two. A late free-throw line jumper by Taylor Ol-son gave the Norse a 42-35 lead heading into the fourth.

The fi nal quarter was all Norse. Olson con-verted a three-point play to open things up. Co-gley answered with a jumper from the elbow, but Hammes proceeded to knock down back-to-back threes from the corner. R-S closed it out from there thanks to solid free throw shooting.

C-M plays at Saydel tonight in the Tiger-hawks third to last game of the season.

ON FRIDAY, the Norse jumped ahead of C-M early, going on a 20-10 run. C-M fell be-hind further as the Tigerhawks saw the Norse roll off a 20-8 run to take a 40-18 lead going into the third quarter. The Tigerhawks amounted just six points in the second half on their way to a 43-point defeat to move to 1-16.

“We went into this game with a game plan that wasn’t fully executed,” C-M coach Michelle Grant said. “With reschedules, we get to play them again tonight (Monday), and we are ready with an altered game plan. Dakota Hostetter con-tinues to play great defense. She truly has the abil-ity to stop opponents from doing what they want to do with the basketball.”

Jena Teed and Jessica Albright each scored fi ve points to lead the team. Ivy Moore, McKenzie Cogley and Jade Lewis scored four points apiece.

conference championship. “It was fun. Our whole team did re-ally well at the conference tour-nament.”

Newton had two other LHC champions — seniors Koby Hull at 106, who was a two-time champion, and Ray Schroder at 195. Junior Dakota Dawson fin-ished second at 138 pounds.

Newton finished fourth as a team and had seven wrestlers place in the top three in weight classes, earning All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors.

“This is a wonderful group of hardworking individuals. Every wrestler that we have goes out there expecting to give six min-utes of their maximum effort and tries the best that they can,” said Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm.

“For me, that’s the most im-portant thing. I love seeing the improvement that these kids are making and could not be more excited to work with each of these kids through districts and beyond.”

Sophomore Bryce Tish avenged a quarterfinal loss to Reed Hillenga of Dallas Cen-ter-Grimes as the two squared off in the 132-pound third-place match.

Hillenga pinned Tish in 2 minutes, 8 seconds to open the tournament.

Tish worked back in the third-place match. He turned the tables on Hillenga. Tish pinned Hillenga in 1:47 to claim the bronze medal.

Junior J.T. Thongvahn lost in the semifinals at 170 pounds. He bounced back with a major decision, 11-3, over Norwalk’s Blake Hoover for third place.

Alex Bentley, a sophomore, two losses on the day came against the same opponent. In the quarterfinal round, Nick Beebe of Oskaloosa beat Bent-ley 6-1 in the 126-pound divi-sion.

Bentley won his next two matches to reach the third-place match, losing 5-1 to Beebe.

Just the opposite for sopho-

more Cole Peters at 120 pounds for the Cardinals. Peters rolled to a 10-2 major decision over Kyle Sadler of Grinnell to open the tournament then lost twice. That put Peters and Sadler in the fifth-place match. Peters pinned Sadler in 5:16.

Jordan Henning, another sophomore, finished fifth at 182 pounds. Henning pinned Carter Terpstra of Pella in 1:51 in the fifth-place match.

Newton won one and lost one fifth-place match by injury default. Freshman Caden Man-ning earned fifth at 220 with an injury default over Ryan Ken-nedy of Norwalk. Cardinal se-nior Earl Kimmel was unable to compete in the 160-pound fifth-place match after suffering an injury early in the tourna-ment.

Freshman Justice Borger lost two in a row and was done for the day for Newton at 145 pounds.

Newton’s varsity wrestlers turn their focus toward Class 3A district tournament action. The top two finishers in each weight class at district qualify for the Class 3A state tourna-ment.

The Cardinals are excited about the Feb. 15 district tour-nament because they will wres-tle at home. Newton hosts the Class 3A District 7. Joining Newton in the tournament are Iowa City City, Iowa City West, Marshalltown, Oskaloosa, Ot-tumwa, Pella and Cedar Rapids Prairie.

No. 16 Iowa St. beats No. 19 Oklahoma St. in 3OT

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A pair of unlikely players helped Iowa State win one of the most thrilling games of the college bas-ketball season.

Naz Long hit a 3-pointer to tie the game with 1.4 seconds left in the second overtime and Monte Morris drained a three in the fi nal minute of the third overtime to help the 16th-ranked Cyclones defeat No. 19 Oklahoma State 98-97 in triple overtime on Monday night.

“I think you guys have been seeing it all year — those guys can play,” said Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim, the Big 12’s leading scorer. “One through 12, we can play, and the con-fi dence coach instills in us, in each player, to go out and knock down that shot with con-fi dence — it showed today. We had multiple guys step up and make big shots. That’s what it’s all about.”

Iowa State found ways to suck the energy out of it.

Morris hit his big 3-pointer from the cor-ner with 43 seconds left in the third overtime to put Iowa State up 96-95.

Nash misconnected on a pass to Brian Williams, and Oklahoma State turned the ball over with 22 seconds left. Long made two free throws with 21.8 seconds to play, extending Iowa State’s lead to three.

Brown dunked, then Williams stole the ball to give the Cowboys a shot at the win. Smart missed a fadeaway, and Oklahoma State retained possession on a tie-up on the rebound. Nash missed a baseline jumper as time expired, and the Cyclones celebrated.

Kane committed his fourth foul with 1:40 left in the second overtime and Oklahoma State leading 87-86. Nash scored in close to bump the Cowboys’ lead to three.

Iowa State’s Matt Thomas and Kane missed shots, and Smart pulled in the re-bound. Oklahoma State had a chance to put the game away, but Brown missed a mid-range fadeaway, and Iowa State called a time-out, down 89-86 with 15.9 seconds remain-ing.

Thomas missed a three, but Kane re-bounded, and Long’s 3-pointer with 1.4 sec-onds left tied the game.

Niang fouled out with 1:05 left in regu-lation and Iowa State leading 74-73. Brown made the two free throws after the foul to give Oklahoma State a 75-74 lead.

Ejim missed the fi rst and made the second of two free throws to tie the score at 75 with 44 seconds to play.

Nash’s shot down low was blocked by Hogue, giving Iowa State another shot. Kane missed a 3-pointer, and a putback dunk by Ejim came after the buzzer.

The early day is for mak-ing compromises that will push the action forward. If you wait until the eve-ning, people will be less amenable and unlikely to strike any kind of deal that will make them happy. The feisty Aries moon will oppose Mars in the partnership sign of Libra this afternoon and then go void-of-course for the rest of the night.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 4). You’ll cash in at the end of a project this month. In March, the intellectual endeavors you take on will change your point of view and your schedule, too. April will heal a relationship. Im-provements to your home have to do with a financial restructuring in May. June and July are filled with love and dates. Pisces and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 10, 46, 28 and 19.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s the people who don’t have time to relax who need relaxation the most. What can you do to fulfill this essential need

in your own life? Give relaxation a high priority status — that’s a start.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some people only see what they want to see in you. They see you as a person who can make their dreams come true or as someone who embod-ies the qualities of their fantasies.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You used to get a great deal of praise and social reinforcement for doing the hard job you’ll do today. Now the reward that matters most to you is the feeling you get from the work itself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Many of the world’s ills are caused by the love of power. This kind of love also has been the mother of progress. Much will depend on the context of the day. Stay aware of the ego’s needs and keep them in check.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just because you have a right to do something doesn’t mean you should.

Base your decisions on what might bring about the highest and best for all involved.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may find it dif-ficult to know when some-one has fudged the facts or stretched the truth, but the falsity you’ll detect right away is in pretending that something is there when nothing is there.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In today’s case, your best gift is you, showing up where you’re needed with a smile on your face. Make sure your gift arrives on time, because you’ll be best received by those who aren’t worn out from waiting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You won’t like everyone you have to be around, but because of your stellar character, you find a way to get along, be respectful and do the job at hand. You’ll set a precedent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Emotionally healthy people can chuckle at their

own expense and don’t mind doing so from time to time. But the truly ar-rogant fear funny people, as they should. Your keen sense of humor will cut to the quick.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The editing process can be tricky, but it’s an essential step in complet-ing your project. It takes some work to narrow your focus to what’s essential and true without oversim-plifying it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mae West said you’re never too old to be-come younger, and that’s how you feel today as you make the decisions that will keep you fresher and more vital than yesterday.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Put your appre-hensions to rest.People will treat you exactly as you treat them. In the rare case in which you don’t get your due, it will be made up to you tomorrow.

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsThe USDA Service Center for the Jasper County Soil and Water Conservation District is located at 709 1st Ave. W. in Newton. The center is home to the Jasper County FSA committee meetings.

Bond reelected in FSA committee bid

The results are in for the Jasper County Farm Service Agency’s recent election and Howard Bond was re-elected to serve Local Administra-tive Area 3.

Bond’s will represent Clear Creek, Independence, Poweshiek, Sherman, Wash-ington, Mound Prairie and Des Moines townships as the LAA 3 representative on the county committee.

Bond, a resident of rural Colfax, was challenged for his seat by Wade Boehm, also a resident of rural Col-fax. Boehm will serve as first alternate if bond is unable to attend a meeting and Mike Holmes was selected at sec-

ond alternative.Only farmers and ranch-

ers, who have participated in or cooperated in a county FSA program, were allowed to vote in this election. Pro-ducers who are younger than the legal voting age may vote if they supervise or conduct a majority of the farming activities that take place on their land.

Bond’s new term is set to begin on Feb. 18.

In a previous interview, Jasper County FSA Execu-tive Director Katie Kramer explained the importance of having a role on this com-mittee.

“County committee members are a critical com-ponent of the operations of FSA. They help deliver FSA

farm programs at the local level,” Kramer said. “Farm-ers and ranchers who serve on county committees help with the decisions necessary to administer the programs in their counties. They work to ensure FSA agricultural programs serve the needs of local producers.”

Committee members are scheduled to meet the third Wednesday of every month, but meetings could be can-celed due to tighter budgets and light agendas.

Bond will serve as vice-chairman of the committee, Bryce Engbers will continue in the role in chairman and Mike Bleakney will serve as an additional committee member.

Farm Rescue accepts applications for planting

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) — A nonprofit organiza-tion that helps farm families in need is accepting planting applications from farmers in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Montana.

North Dakota-based Farm Rescue assisted 50 farm families in 2013 and hopes to help a similar number of families this year.

Farm Rescue was founded in 2006 by North Dakota farm boy and cargo plane pilot Bill Gross to assist farm families who have experienced a major illness, injury or natural disaster. The organization has helped more than 250 families since its inception. It does not dole out money but instead enlists volunteers to help with the planting and harvesting of crops.

Priority is being given to applications for planting help that are received by April 1.

“Friends and neighbors may also anonymously refer a family that is in need of assistance, since some families are hesitant to ask for assistance themselves,” Gross said.

Farm Rescue relies on volunteers, business sponsors and donations. It is introducing a “Sponsor-A-Volunteer” pro-gram this year to enable donors to help with the costs of lodging and food for the volunteers who do the farm labor.

“We are requesting people to consider helping us offset some volunteer costs, which in turn will allow Farm Res-cue to mobilize more volunteers,” Gross said.ienced major injury, illness or natural disaster.”

Applications are currently being accepted for the 2014 planting season, which can be obtained at 701-252-2017 or www.farmrescue.org. Sponsor-A-Volunteer donations may be mailed to: Farm Rescue, PO. Box 1100, Jamestown, ND 58402

Senate set to send Farm Bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is poised to send a

massive, five-year farm bill that provides food for the needy and subsidies for the nation’s farmers to the White House for President Barack Obama’s signature.

The Senate was expected to pass the almost $100 bil-lion-a-year compromise bill Tuesday; the House passed it last week. The bill provides a financial cushion for farm-ers who face unpredictable weather and market conditions, while also continuing to subsidize services for rural resi-dents and communities who have hit hard times in recent years. The majority of the bill’s cost is food stamps, which supplement meal costs for 1 in 7 Americans.

“This bill will result in less food on the table for chil-dren, seniors and veterans who deserve better from this Congress, while corporations continue to receive guaran-teed federal handouts,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said. “I cannot vote for it.”

The bill does have a stricter cap on the overall amount of money an individual farmer can receive — $125,000 in a year, when some programs were previously unrestricted.
