Berg reading teachers take

spotlight

By Jason W. BrooksNewton Daily News

A few times per year, the Newton Community School District leader-ship makes trips to vari-ous campuses for board meetings.

Monday night, it was Berg Elementary School’s turn.

Berg Principal Jolene Comer introduced the four reading teachers at her kindergarten through third-grade school, and allowed each one to talk about unique tactics, ar-rangements or formats

that each felt have be-come helpful elements.

Comer relished the opportunity for who she called the “Fab Four” reading teachers — JoAnne Price, Brenda Newell, Lora Caves and Krista Baumgartner — to present their experi-ences to the board.

“We always want to share things that we feel are working well for us,” said Comer. “It’s always nerve wracking to speak in front of a board. For-tunate, these ladies are

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsThe future of Westwood Golf Course was up for discussion at the City Council budget meeting Monday. After talking about closing the course versus spending a large amount of money in the future to update the course and facility, the council decided to move forward with the budgeted items.

Future of Westwood Golf Course discussed by council

By Jamee A. PiersonNewton Daily News

Whether or not to keep West-wood Golf Course became a ma-jor discussion point at Newton’s City Council budget meeting Monday. After discussing the pros and cons, the council de-cided to move forward with the items for the golf course in the budget, but may reallocate what its intended use is.

“I think before we spend money on any of them — are we going to have a golf course or not?” Jeff Price, council member said. “Because obviously they are on here because they are necessi-ties of it, I think it is pretty much all or nothing.”

City Administrator Bob Kna-bel agreed, saying it is a great amenity, but asked what the city council wants to do with it.

The council agreed to keep the budget items — an inter-seeder for $6,000, Aerifier for $16,000, a sand trap rake for $18,000, a mower for $15,000, three work carts for $10,000, golf cart paths for $30,000 and the largest item, a new irrigation system, for $510,000 on the bud-get for a bond issue. However, the council intends to get more feedback from the community to see if residents even want a golf course.

“I would love to hear if any of the folks on the council are hearing from constituents about the golf course because I hear very little,” Noreen Otto, council member said. “I don’t know if the community is to a point where it doesn’t want a golf course.”

Additional items from the Community Improvement Plan, which is paid through a bond

issue, that were discussed in-cluded a new fire engine cost-ing $550,000, fire tanker at $200,000, fire marshal truck at $40,000 and police vehicles at $63,000. The council wanted further explanation about spend-ing the large amount of money on a fire engine

“The fire engines that we currently have been purchased through the 90s, early 2000s and the oldest engine is a 1991. We typically in the fire service say a 20-year life for an engine is a good life,” Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik said.

Wellik said the department currently does not have any en-gines in reserve and they are hav-ing trouble getting parts, such as lights, for the engines it does have.

“What we are trying to do

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsNewton Police Officer David Watson requested a change to the 8-mile residency requirement restriction for cer-tain city employees, with a suggestion of having a Jasper County residency requirement to the Employee Relations Committee Monday.

City employee 8-mile residency requirement under review


Three topics, includ-ing a change to an 8-mile residency requirement restriction were dis-cussed by the Employee Relations Committee at the city council meeting Monday. Council mem-bers Evelyn George, Lin Chapé and Steve Mullen along with City Admin-istrator Bob Knabel were present for the meeting.

A request to lift an 8-mile residency re-quirement was brought before the committee by Newton Police Offi-cer David Watson. The current requirement was last updated in 1984 and has designated some city employees be required to live within eight miles of Newton. He felt af-ter discussion with other city agencies and acquir-ing information about other comparable cities

City seeking public input on camper parking


The city of Newton is seeking public input for camper and trailer parking rules through a survey available on the city’s website. After talking about the subject at two recent city council meetings, discussing current rules, past rules and potential new rules, the council did not come to any conclu-sions about how to word the ordinance.

“In December and January the city council be-gan discussing the current law on the parking of campers, boats, trailers and motor homes on pri-vate property, residential property in Newton,” said Erin Chambers, director of planning and zoning for the city. “At the meeting in January, council was really unclear about the direction they wanted to go and asked if we could try to find out more from citizens, what their thoughts were and what the desire of the community is in terms of where you can park those things on the property.”

Currently, a trailer cannot be parked in front of a house, a change from the 25-foot set back rule which also allowed the trailer to be parked 25 feet from the front of the property whether it was even with the house or in front of it. That change made previously compliant properties no longer compli-ant with no grandfathering-in allowed. The current

A suggestion he had is for a possible county re-striction, so the designat-ed employees must live within Jasper County. He said from the furthest corners of the county, an employee could make it to Newton in approxi-mately 30 minutes. The committee members wanted to review the current policy and what possibilities are available before moving forward, but were positive about a change to the require-ment.

Information, applicator accountability are issues

The Iowa Farmers Union has filed a petition with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship in an effort to get some new pesticide spray-drift rules made.

Or, to put in another way, to give IDALS the letter it needs to help get the resources needed to change and uphold existing regu-lations.

The petition, hand-signed by executive director Jana Linder-man of Cedar Rapids and bear-ing the names of the 13 members of the board of directors, is dated Dec. 15. It asks the department to “amend certain administra-tive rules relating to regulation of pesticides.” There are five rec-ommendations to change specific Iowa Code sections, and one rec-ommendation for a new section to the code.

The farmers’ union is attempt-ing to get help from Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and Pesticide Chief Dr. Gretchen Paulch. The union wants help in reducing overspray from reaching the fields of the farms that have non-GMO commodities and or-ganic and specialty crops.

The letter’s intent is to “help build on IDALS’ existing frame-work in a way that will better allow for a variety of farm types to co-exist and prosper, side-by-side, and promote increased di-versity in Iowa agriculture.”

Linderman said the timing of the petition is somewhat tied to

the beginning of the Iowa State Legislature’s 2015 session, as fighting for appropriations and code changes are the two aims of the petition.

“It took us about a year to put the petition together,” Linder-man said. “It’s an urgent set of is-sues, regarding funding and staff-ing and policies that are about information.”

The union represents both farmers who produce conven-tional crops using commercial pesticides and ones who are transitioning to non-GMO or organic crops. Linderman said there are about 800 USDA-cer-tified organic farms in Iowa, but the concerns about spray drift are about far more than organic or specialty acreage.

“It’s much broader than organ-ic or simply non-GMO crops,” she said. “There are a lot of va-rieties in our state that shouldn’t have Roundup applied to them.”

Linderman said she didn’t have any exact statistics handy Monday related to the number of farms or organic farms in the Jasper County area. The recom-mendations include changes to certification and continuing edu-cation for pesticide applicators.

There are also recommenda-tions for applicators to show fi-nancial responsibility for spray drift damage, to keep and main-tain records differently and to provide 48 hours notification of crop spraying.

The final recommendation for a code change calls for a change in monetary fines for violators of pesticide policies, and an amend-

ment that will provide for refer-rals for criminal prosecution, where applicable.

“Many farmers have told me that it just isn’t worth their time, trying to recoup losses,” Linder-man said. “And even if a file gets sent to a county attorney, in an egregious case, these are only se-rious misdemeanors.”

A new section to Iowa Code, according to the letter’s request, would include remedies available to parties affected by spray drift. The section would detail practi-cal and legal procedures to be followed, and would require such information to be kept current on the department’s website.

“There needs to be a direct list of steps affected parties can take, and information avail-able about anyone who is spray-ing pesticides,” Linderman said. “For example, farmers would like to know if others in their area have been having the same prob-lems. There isn’t currently a nice, searchable database.”

The petition concludes with a request to hold a meeting with the agency to discuss the peti-tion. She said it’s important to be patient regarding the legislative possibilities.

“Our understanding is that the funding side is the first one to be addressed,” Linderman said. “The others are helping provide pieces of information, so that spray drift isn’t as much of a mys-tery.”

Newton Development gets $200K for

rural jobs program

DES MOINES — Iowa Agriculture Under-secretary for Rural Development Lisa Mensah an-nounced five awards on Jan. 23 to expand access to credit for rural businesses, particularly small busi-nesses in poor and underserved areas.

One of the recipients announced is the Newton Development Corporation.

“Helping rural businesses get access to invest-ment capital is one of the most effective ways to help rural economies grow,” Mensah said. “These loans will help businesses create jobs, expand their operations, invest in materials and equipment, and promote their success and growth.”

USDA Rural Development is providing a total of $2.55 million in loans to five nonprofit groups through its Intermediary Re-lending Program (IRP). Under the IRP program, USDA provides loans to local organizations so they can create re-volving loan funds for businesses.

The other recipients are the Four Bands Com-munity Fund in South Dakota, which received $750,000, along with the North Central Planning and Development District in Mississippi ($600,000) and the Coastal Economic Development Corpora-tion in New Hampshire and the Missouri Agricul-tural and Small Business Development Authority ($500,000 each).

Newton Development Corporation will add the $200,000 to its current revolving loan fund resourc-es to continue helping improve business opportuni-ties in and around the community.Farmers Union petitions

Newton FFA beats record

fundraising sales

On Sept. 8, 2014, the Newton FFA kicked off the annual delivery fundraiser “Fruit Sales.” The New-ton FFA chapter sold more than $46,000 in fruit, meats, cheese, candy and popcorn. The amount was an all-time high for the school’s organization.

The top three sellers for the Chapter were Dylon Morrison, Macy Leonard and Logan Zaabel.

“Fruit sales prepare the students for future careers in Ag. Sales and also allows members to participate in numerous FFA activities throughout the year,” said Newton FFA Chapter Secretary Macy Leon-ard.

The Newton FFA would like to thank everyone who donated money or bought fruit and other items to support the chapter.

very passionate about the impor-tance of reading skills.”

Comer said her school’s first Family Literacy Night last month got more than 400 at-tendees. Each reading teacher covered several elements during Monday’s presentation. Price discussed the different com-puter device apps that parents can download to supplement the school’s reading program.

“We were able to download more than 400 apps for parents to take home that night,” Price said. “The parents, kids and teachers all had a positive experi-ence at Literacy Night.”

Newell talked about students who are in reading groups that are getting dismissed from read-ing programs for a positive rea-son: meeting benchmarks. She acknowledged some students don’t have the same reading op-portunities at home, and the “Book in a Bag” program allows students to choose a level-appro-priate book to take home.

“We’re trying to make sure everyone gets support,” she said.

Baumgartner said each grade level at the school has its own

selection of level-appropriate books, and were given books to take home over the holiday break in order to remain sharp.

“We care deeply about the success of students who are on all levels,” Baumgartner said. Caves said a book exchange is part of how students stay involved with books that are new to them, and how older students are asked to donate books they’ve “out-grown.”

Caves also said she greatly values the co-teaching sessions that have taken place this school year. Only one person signed up for the public forum part of the board meeting. Lifelong Newton resident Gary Osborne voiced his objection to both the re-build and the renovation of the Berg Complex proposals discussed in recent Daily News stories.

“Berg is probably one of the youngest of the buildings we have, and all of the sudden it’s not viable for usage?” Osborne said. “Engineers and architects: I don’t like them. All they know how to do is build a school and spend a lot of money. Why can’t it be looked at for not having to replace the whole darn thing at one time?”

The board scheduled a re-configuration and public-finance

work session for 6:30 p.m. Feb. 3 in the Emerson Hough confer-ence room. It’s open to the pub-lic.

The next regular board meet-ing will be held at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 9 in the Emerson Hough build-ing’s conference room. In other action Monday:

• Superintendent Bob Cal-laghan and board president Sheri Benson were among those who traveled to Des Moines on Mon-day to interact with individuals involved in the Iowa State Leg-islature’s 2015 session. Among various potential financial good news and bad news, much of which involves pending legis-lation, was an important con-

versation involving Callaghan, Benson and Rep. Dan Kelley. Callaghan said Kelley explained that the Sept. 1 waiver and cal-endar discussion, which has been high-profile of late, could be a public distraction as the legisla-ture makes heavy decisions about hundreds of millions of dollars of key education budget items.

• Callaghan announced the retirement of bus driver Karen Illingworth, who has worked for the district for 37 years.

• Student representative Drake Rhone, a member of the Newton High School speech team, announced every single member of the squad qualified for a Feb. 7 state competition

in Cedar Rapids on the basis of Saturday’s district performance.

• Student representative Col-by Lawson reminded the board and the approximate 15 oth-ers in attendance that Legacy Night, when former coaches David “Rowe” Rowray and Buzz Levick will be honored, is this Friday when the Cardinal girls and boys hoops teams host Dal-las Center-Grimes.

• Callaghan and Benson rec-ognized the district’s 2014-15 Newton Community Educa-tional Foundation’s Excellence in Education Award winners: Jen Elbert, Marla Cory, Kim Vanderlaan, Cori Latchman, Deborah Rose, Desia Kies, Alys-sa Lewis and Scott Garvis.

• Callaghan reminded every-one in attendance that Feb. 16 — President’s Day — will be a regular school day to make up for the cold-weather cancellation of school on Jan. 7. The school calendar does not have any more school days in it, he said, so the board might have to extend the school year beyond May 28 if there are any more snow days this year.

with this plan, we are taking and consolidating two engines. For this $550,000, we’re taking our main line pumper and our res-cue engine and combining them together and turning it into a true rescue engine,” Wellik said.

The council brought up a program where fire depart-ments work together using a neighboring town’s fire tanker. Wellik said they do that, but were recently at a fire and had to wait 15 minutes for the tanker to reach them and had run out of water after seven minutes.

The council questioned the fire marshal truck and Wellik said that the current vehicle in

use is a 1996 Suburban that is having some lighting problems as well as a floor board that is getting very thin. The replace-ment vehicle would be a 3/4 ton pick-up that would serve as a mobile office for the fire mar-shal.

“Something that we can put all of the fire marshal investi-gation type things in there. He will also have his inspection ma-terials and those types of things in there. We can also use it then to haul dirty hoses and use it as a utility vehicle,” Wellik said.

The council decided to take the police vehicles out of the bond issue area of the bud-get because it is very likely the bond would outlast the vehicles because of the intense use re-quired.

Knabel gave bond issue policy recommendations in-cluding bonds to be issued ev-ery two years for major street repair, construction, equipment and projects — bonds would be eight to 10 years in duration. Also, the bonds shall not exceed life expectancy of equipment or project it is paying for and pay-ments would be end-loaded and structured to reduce front-end cost and to provide future flexi-bility and minimize compound-ing bond issues. The Debt Ser-vice Levy, which pays for the bond, will be targeted to range between $2.25 and $2.50. The current levy in place is in the area of $2, according to Kna-bel. Changes with items that could need bonding makes the future amount required for the

levy currently unknown. The last bond issue was done during 2014 as a part of the housing initiative.

The biggest operational costs concern was tort liability insur-ance because of an increase in cost because of a safety prob-lem. Slips and falls, torn shoul-ders and falling on ice became big safety problems the safety committee is beginning to ad-dress, beginning with the Work Systems program.

The council also decided to give contributions to outside agencies at half of the additional requested amount. That means, for example, the YMCA, which had $16,000 in the budget and requested $20,000 will receive $18,000.

A budget snapshot shows

general government funds at $8,528,864, special revenue funds at $7,987,614, TIF spe-cial revenue $2,587,594, debt service funds at $2,656,817, property funds at $5,431,775 and the capital project funds at $6,810,800 totaling $34,003,464 — $44,217,989 more than the 2014-2015 bud-get. Broken down by category, the budget puts $11,620,477 to-ward personnel, $7,275,937 for operations, $8,582,100 to capi-tal, $3,006,375 and $3,518,575 to transfers. All budget deci-sions were only discussed and still have to be approved by the council to move forward.

law states campers and trailers are not required to be on any kind of hard surfaces and also that motor homes are consid-ered vehicles and do not have to abide by camper regulations. Those two topics are both avail-able for comment in the survey.

One issue that arose are houses with two front yards or those that have a street to both the front and the back of the property.

In that situation, the owner has a very small or sometimes non-existent place to park their

trailer because it would only have the width of the house to work with.

The survey asks what the aesthetic preference would be for the parking of campers, mo-tor homes, trailers or boats in-cluding being stored off-site, limited to side yard and rear yard regardless of how large a home may be setback, not be located within the first 25 feet of a property but beyond that it doesn’t matter even if it is in front of the home, the location doesn’t matter as long as they are place on hard surface or they don’t need to be on hard surface, and they should be allowed any-where on a property.

It also asks if the rules should cover motor homes and if hard surface storage should be re-quired.

The survey is available for citizens to complete until Feb. 10 after which the information will be gathered to be presented to the council at a February city council meeting. No permanent changes will be made as the is-sue is still only in the discussion phase.

paid out for it, which prompted Knabel to recommend hiring an outside consultant for the hiring process starting in April. He felt it would give adequate time for the process so the city would be prepared for the August date. The committee motioned to follow Kna-bel’s recommendation.

Finally, the city was awarded the Hometown Re-wards Program from Alliant Energy partnering with Black Hills Energy which is grant in the amount of $76,000 with a $7,000 kick-off bonus to educate and inform residents about energy conservation. The com-panies recommended the city hire a new position to administer the program on a part-time basis for two years. The committee wanted to look into a contract hire versus a part-time temporary employee before moving forward on the position.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily NewsNewton High School student representative Colby Larson gives a report at Monday night’s Newton Community School District board meeting at Berg Elementary as board member Travis Padget listens.

By now, the world (or that portion of it not reading the Quran and watch-i n g soccer) k n o w s t h a t t h e r e w a s s o m e j i g -g e r y -p o k e r w i t h t h e feetballs used in the New England Patri-ots/Indianapolis Colts game, this year’s game of the century. The feetballs, it seems, were under-aerialized in a historic manner. This caused historic debate among fans whose his-trionics are the stuff of history.

And, of course, it was a conspiracy.

Those of you en-meshed in the historic controversy probably failed to notice the his-toric State of the Union Address delivered by historically African-American President Barack Obama.

That was the plan.There was (and I

know; I brought the carrot sticks) a his-toric meeting of limp-wristed, welfare-loving, book-reading lefty traitors and we (with the assistance of rogue black people and Jews) arranged to have the balls deflated just before the game.

This created a con-troversy fiendishly timed to keep you from really absorbing the full socialist thrust of Obama’s Sharia-in-fused, Afrocentric, trai-torous speech.

I’d like to pause here for a moment to thank the rogue black people and the Jews. Without the rogue blacks’ ha-tred of America (even the ones who are veter-ans) and the Jews’ total control of the media, the colleges, the movies and the banks, we never could have done it.

And that isn’t all we did to speed the com-munist/black/vegetar-ian/feminist/anti-gun/Jewish/gay/no-prayer-in-schools revolution.

Our Jew friends made it possible for that movie “American Snip-er” to be made because we knew the violence in

it would make patriotic Americans sick of war.

OK, so that one backfired. Turns out patriotic Americans re-sponded to that movie the way really stupid guys respond to strip-pers. Who knew?

But we’ve got more plans.

Let’s say a major midget stock car rac-ing scandal breaks out just before Obama has Muhammad’s picture put on the dollar bill? Who’s gonna notice the new money?

And, on the day the Supreme Court makes gay marriage manda-tory in Alabama there will be a HUGE pro wrestling scandal. Turns out it’s been fake for all these years. We’re giving that story to The New York Times. They’ll print anything we tell ‘em to print.

Oh, yeah. We got agents everywhere.

Until we came up with this sports idea, our agents were doing other things, like cut-ting taxes for the rich so you’d get mad about that and not notice how we stopped your fifth graders from having a live nativity scene in the lunchroom.

OK, so that one backfired, too. You no-ticed the whole nativity scene thing and didn’t care if rich people got all the tax cuts. The right-wingers caught us on that one. No matter how poor you got, the right-wing talk show hosts reminded you that gay marriage and nativity scenes are more impor-tant than decent health care and a living wage. We misjudged your pa-triotic willingness to stay poor for Jesus.

We won’t make that mistake again. We got this sport thing worked out now.

When spring train-ing starts, you’ll find out that every member of the Chicago Cubs has been playing with an Iraqi flag T-shirt under his jersey.

That’s the day we’ll come for your guns.

One of the more prominent topics of discussion this past week in the Iowa Legislature revolved around the setting of S u p p l e m e n t a l State Aid (SSA) for Iowa’s public schools.

The House Education Com-mittee submitted study bills to set the Supplemen-tal State Aid (SSA) numbers for public edu-cation: 1.25 per-cent for FY2016 (School Year: 2015-16) and 2.45 percent for FY2017 (School Year: 2016-17).

In response to these numbers, I have received numerous emails from various school administra-tors and education proponents from around the state and from House District 28. The message to me (and my fellow legislators) is that nothing less than 6 per-cent SSA will do.

Given the numbers from De-cember’s Revenue Estimating Conference (REC), we knew heading into the 2015 legislative session that it was going to be a very challenging budget year.

In terms of funding, the Leg-islature will always be between the rock (what is requested) and the hard place (what is avail-able). While the SSA numbers are disappointing for some, it is important that we put them into the larger context of the over-all budgeting picture. In other words, it is better to set a mod-est number that is attainable (and make good on it) than to set a higher number that is unrealistic and unsustainable.

There have been numerous examples of over-promising and under-delivering in that last de-cade, where education funding has experienced some tumultu-ous times. One such example, in 2010, stands head-and-shoulders above the rest. That was the year of the painful 10 percent across-the-board cut, which amounted to a $530 million loss to public education in one single year.

This across-the-board cut not only negatively impacted public education, but all of state govern-ment. The state is still recovering from that loss. That recovery is only possible if we continue to adhere to responsible budgeting practices that have kept our state in the black for the last four years.

During that time (FY 2011-15), the State Aid to Schools

has increased $421 million or 16.6 percent. If Education Re-form dollars are included that number jumps to $471 million or 18.6 percent. If the governor’s plan for FY 2016 is included that number spikes to $554 million or 21.9 percent. We can all agree that this is a sizable increase and a tremendous investment in our K-12 schools over the last four years, especially when you con-sider that statewide enrollment has steadily declined. Even more important than increased funding commitments: the checks have all cleared.

I am hopeful that an acceptable SSA number can be reached soon between the House, Senate and governor’s office; one that adheres to our responsible budgeting prin-ciples.

In the meantime, I intend to look into the issue of loosening re-strictions placed on certain fund-ing streams available to our pub-lic schools, so that they have the latitude and flexibility they need to meet specific requirements in their district.

It is an honor to serve as your representative in the Iowa Legis-lature. Until next time, God bless.

Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) serves in Iowa House District 28.

As a storm blows through the Northeast, I feel like a storm just hit my house over the weekend. I definitely had a long weekend, and it wasn’t the good kind.

It started with a call from my babysitter on Wednesday telling me her son woke up with the stomach flu, and I needed to pick up my daugh-ters as soon as possible. Nor-mally, I would be concerned they were exposed because they only go to the sitter three days a week. It just so happens the two days they go in a row are Tuesday and Wednesday, which meant they had been exposed the whole day before.

As luck would have it, Thursday came and we had our first victim, my youngest. She made it through about half of the day, but was sick most of the rest of the day, which is extra fun because she drinks a lot of milk. Af-ter a good night of sleep and no sick to be seen, the girls headed to the sitter.

I got several updates from my sitter, and after I decided to pick them up a little early, we had our second victim, my oldest. We were almost home when I heard a cough coming from the back seat and knew we were in trouble. She was a real trooper, learn-ing to use a bowl and letting

us know when her tummy was extra upset. The next day came and she told me her nausea was gone and not coming back.

It didn’t come back, but decided to travel to my hus-band. In the early hours of Saturday morning he headed to the bathroom and didn’t come out. I didn’t entirely escape it myself, unfortu-nately, but thankfully got the abbreviated version.

Before I started feeling any signs of the flu, I headed to Walmart to stock up on Ga-torade, Sprite, disinfectant and paper towels. I sprayed down the house, scrubbed the floors and did several

loads of laundry before the bed called my name. Sun-day was pretty rough for my husband, and I didn’t want to move from the bed. I think age is starting to catch up with me more than I would like to admit.

Thankfully, the weekend storm has passed and Mon-day brought hungry kiddos and working parents. I’m hoping we’ve seen the worst of what winter illnesses have to offer, but I’m still going to keep my doctor on speed dial.

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: I am considered to be a quite attractive — easily a nine or a 10 — professional dancer here in Las Vegas. I recently met a guy who has lit-erally met almost all my dream qualities for a life partner, husband and father of my future children.

The problem is, I’m not attracted to him. He’s not ugly; he has symmetrical features, straight teeth, nice skin and is in pretty good shape, if a little on the skinny side. I have always dated mus-cular, very fit men who get me excited at the sight of them, and I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with me be-cause after nine months I’m still strug-gling with his looks.

I feel like there is no sexual chemistry. But we have another kind of chemistry because we get along great, and he moti-vates me to be a better person.

Am I shallow, or is the lack of sex-ual chemistry a sign that maintaining a successful long-term relationship won’t happen? — MISS PICKY IN LAS VEGAS

DEAR MISS PICKY: I’m not going to call you shallow. Whether lack of sex-ual chemistry is a deal-breaker for you depends upon how important sex is to you. From what you have told me, looks are a primary factor in what draws you to men. (It would be interesting to know how long the relationships you described lasted.)

Bear in mind that men who are Adon-ises can lose their looks if they don’t con-sistently work at it — just as women do. Much as we might wish it, looks don’t always last forever. That’s why, if you’re looking for a long-term relationship, it’s extremely important to take into consid-eration qualities that will last.

DEAR ABBY: My 67-year-old mother has vascular dementia and breast cancer. In accordance with her living will and many conversations we had before the dementia began, we (Mom, my sisters and I) have decided to forgo

treatment. She has been widowed for 17 years; she watched her husband — our father — die from cancer. She lives in an excellent health care facility that will provide her with palliative care when the time is right.

My question is, how do we inform people (family and friends) of her diag-nosis and of our treatment plan? With-out knowing the whole story, without having seen her very recently, it seems everyone has an opinion on what we “should” do. How do we tell these peo-ple that, while we appreciate their con-cern, this is her decision without hurting their feelings and our relationships? — FAMILY WITH A DILEMMA

DEAR DILEMMA: How do these unwanted advice givers know that you do not plan to subject your mother to treatments that would only prolong her decline? If you solicited their opinion, you made a mistake. If you didn’t, then the last sentence of your letter — if said kindly — is an appropriate way to phrase the message.

Your mother’s treatment plan is no-body’s business but yours and your sis-ters’. If these are her wishes as stated in her advance directive for health care, then you should respect them. To do otherwise would be a betrayal of her trust.

Police charge 4 in connection with 2 killings in Osceola

OSCEOLA — Osceola police say they have arrested four people in connection with the killings of two people whose bod-ies were found Sunday.

Iowa State Patrol captain pays ticket in speeding case

NEWTON (AP) — A high-ranking Iowa State Patrol officer has paid a $208 ticket for an off-duty speeding inci-dent, two months after he was initially pulled over and let go by a sub-ordinate.

Jasper County court officials said Monday that Capt. Ken Clary

pleaded guilty last week to driving 92 in a 70-mph zone.

Video released this month shows trooper Bryan Guill speeding past cars on Interstate 80 near Newton to catch up with a van driven by Clary. Guill let Clary go without a ticket after a brief, friendly exchange.

Clary was wearing his uniform but off-duty, driving a vehicle owned by a nonprofit for which he volunteers.

Patrol officials have repeatedly refused to say how fast Clary was clocked on radar and whether they reduced the speed listed on the ticket.

Spokesman: Iowa governor remains in Des Moines hospital

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad remains in a Des Moines hospi-tal, where he is receiv-ing treatment for what doctors believe is a vi-ral illness and dehydra-tion.

Branstad spokesman Jimmy Centers didn’t provide a condition up-date Tuesday morning, but said more infor-mation about the gov-

e r n o r ’ s s t a t u s will be released when it becomes a v a i l -a b l e . B r a n s -t a d ’ s p u b l i c appea r -

ances for the day have been canceled.

Branstad was taken

by ambulance to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines on Monday after he re-quired assistance at a ribbon-cutting event.

Doctors said they believed the governor has a viral illness. The hospital conducted tests and ruled out oth-er contributing factors, including cardiac issues for which he’s been previously treated.

Iowa woman accused of stealing $500,000 from car dealership

CRESTON (AP) — A south-central Iowa woman has been ac-cused of stealing more than $500,000 from a local car dealership.

Authorities say 44-year-old Lyndsay Jo Huntsman, of Creston, was arrested Monday

on charges of ongoing criminal conduct and five counts of first-de-gree theft.

According to a news release, police began in-vestigating a report of missing money from a local Ford dealership, Creston Automotive, in

October. The investi-gation determined that more than $500,000 was missing from the dealer-ship’s accounts.

No further informa-tion has been released. An attorney for Hunts-man could not be lo-cated.

Iowa lawmakers question regents’ proposed funding model

The Associated Press

DES MOINES — A proposed performance-based funding model for Iowa’s three public universities could have a negative financial im-pact among schools in the state and hurt fund-ing for some graduate programs, state lawmak-ers said Monday during a committee meeting.

Board of Regents President Bruce Rastet-ter told the House ap-propriations committee that the funding model, which regents approved last year, would help bal-ance funding distribu-tion between Iowa State University, the Uni-

versity of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa. He said the cur-rent funding model is dated and not sustain-able.

The proposed mod-el bases 60 percent of nearly $500 million in state funding alloca-tion for the schools on the enrollment of in-state students. The rest would be based on performance measures such as the number of degrees awarded and access provided to low-income and minority students. It would be enacted over three years beginning in 2016.

Rep. Mary Mash-er, D-Iowa City, said

the model could have a negative impact on private colleges and community colleges competing for in-state students.

“Many of them have a very small margin and if they lose some of the Iowa in-state students, they are in jeopardy of closing,” she said. “As legislators, we have to look at all of higher ed, not just the regents, when we make deci-sions like this.”

The funding would have the most impact on the University of Iowa, which currently receives more than 46 percent of the allocated funding. Rep. Cindy Winckler,

D-Davenport, attended the meeting but is not on the committee. She questioned whether the funding model consid-ers the costs between students enrolled in different programs like graduate programs.

Rastetter argued the regents are not direct-ing money away from graduate programs.

Legislative lawmak-ers must approve Gov. Terry Branstad’s budget proposal for the fund-ing model to be offi-cially applied. Rastet-ter said if the budget is approved, any issues with the funding model could be revisited year-ly.

Business school will become UI’s Des Moines campus


DES MOINES — A Des Moines business college will become the University of Iowa’s Des Moines campus under an arrangement the two schools announced Monday.

Transitioning the 20-acre campus southwest of downtown will take at least a year, but all AIB students will become University of Iowa students as early as this fall, said AIB College of Business President Nancy A. Williams.

An integration committee has been formed to begin the transition and work out funding details. Early plans include the addition of new degree pro-grams. AIB currently offers only business degrees.

“Over time, expanding on both the business side and probably into some other areas is definitely go-ing to be what our integration team is looking at,” said Iowa President Sally Mason.

Williams said AIB currently has the capacity to accommodate double its fall 2014 enrollment of more than 1,000 students.

“Our merger will allow for even greater oppor-tunities for people who want to create a better fu-ture for themselves and their families,” Williams said.

Snowstorm lashes East Coast, blankets New York, BostonThe Associated Press

NEW YORK — New York City blinked back to life Tuesday morning, after get-ting blanketed by a massive snowstorm that disrupted life for tens of millions of people along the U.S. East Coast.

New York canceled its travel ban amid better-than-expected weather conditions, while further north Boston remained shut down as Mas-sachusetts was pounded by snow and lashed by strong wind.

Forecasters originally warned the storm could be historic, bringing up to 3 feet (about a meter) of snow and punishing hurricane-force winds. But early Tuesday, they downgraded most of those numbers, saying Boston and the northeastern New Eng-land region would fare the worst, but even then not as bad as expected.

As dawn broke, New York City had an almost eerie feel to it. No airplanes in the sky and no trains running under-ground made for an unex-pected quiet. Light snow fell

steadily early Tuesday in mid-town Manhattan as a few mu-nicipal trucks rumbled down empty streets.

More than 7,700 flights in and out of the Northeast were

canceled, and many of them may not take off again until Wednesday. Schools and busi-nesses let out early. Govern-ment offices closed. Shoppers stocking up on food jammed

supermarkets and elbowed one another for what was left. Broadway stages went dark.

Sections of New York were forecast to see up to 20 inches (50 centimeters) of snow.

As the storm system spun northward, conditions im-proved quickly. Travel bans were lifted before midmorn-ing in New Jersey and New York. New York City buses, subways and trains were ex-pected to restart on a limited basis later in the morning and a return to a full schedule was expected by Wednesday.

Total accumulation was expected to reach or exceed two feet (half a meter) in most of Massachusetts, po-tentially making it one of the worst snowstorms ever to hit the state. Coastal residents braced for a powerful storm surge and the possibility of damaging flooding and beach erosion, particularly on Cape Cod.

Border Protection lends a hand for Super Bowl security


GLENDALE, Ariz. — Black Hawk heli-copters and truck-sized X-ray machines that are typically deployed along the U.S.-Mexico border have been brought to the Super Bowl venue to assist with the secu-rity effort.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection showed off the technol-ogy Monday as it helps with Super Bowl secu-rity.

Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske was on hand for a demon-stration of the agency’s Black Hawks and large

mobile X-ray machines that are used to detect contraband and explo-sives. The helicopters and X-ray machines are from Tucson and No-gales, some of the busi-est spots in the nation for the smuggling of drugs and immigrants.

Kerlikowske said Arizona’s border with Mexico still has ad-equate security while some equipment is used in Glendale for the Su-per Bowl.

He said it’s not just the technology that will help keep the big game safe, but the ex-pertise behind it.

“The real key about

this equipment is the people who operate them,” Kerlikowske said.

The CBP is also de-ploying about 100 of-ficers who will assist other federal and local law enforcement agen-cies.

The X-ray machines are mobile and the size of a large truck.

They slowly pan outside a semi-truck while operators look for anomalies. The X-ray machines are in heavy use at the Mariposa Port of Entry in No-gales, one of the busiest ports of entry for com-merce in the country.

Federal government failing to protect children, report says


The federal govern-ment’s failure to enforce the nation’s child pro-tection laws is a “nation-al disgrace” that leaves abused children vulner-able to future harm, ac-cording to a three-year study by two child advo-cacy groups.

The 110-page re-port released Tuesday identified some of the same failures reported in December by The Associated Press after an eight-month inves-tigation into hundreds of children who died of abuse or neglect in plain view of child protection authorities.

“Our laws are weak. We don’t invest in solu-tions. Federal laws aren’t enforced. And courts are turning their backs. This creates a trifecta of in-ertia and neglect,” said Amy Harfeld, policy di-rector at the Children’s Advocacy Institute at the University of San Diego School of Law, which wrote the re-port with the nonprofit group First Star.

AP’s investigation, published Dec. 18, also revealed a system in crisis, hobbled by weak federal oversight, bud-get constraints, worker shortages and a vol-untary data collection system so flawed that nobody can say with ac-curacy how many chil-dren die from abuse or neglect each year.

The AP found that at least 786 children died of abuse and neglect over a six-year span — many of them beaten, starved or left alone to drown — while agen-cies had good reason to know they were in danger. That figure rep-resents the most com-prehensive statistics publicly available, but the actual number who died even as authorities were investigating their families or providing some form of protective services is likely much higher because anti-quated confidentiality laws allow many states to withhold vital infor-mation, shrouding their failures.

The federal govern-ment estimates an aver-age of about 1,650 chil-dren have died annually from abuse or neglect in recent years, whether or not they were known to the child welfare system, but many ex-perts believe the actual number is twice as high. And many more suffer from near-fatal abuse and neglect every year.

“Almost everything that happens to these children is cloaked in endemic secrecy, and most efforts by the me-dia and advocates to provide the public with much needed transpar-ency — which leads to accountability — are thwarted by the very governmental entities and officials who have

turned their backs on their official duties to children,” the groups said.

Michael Petit, who was appointed by Presi-dent Barack Obama to serve on the Federal Commission to Elimi-nate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities and serves as adviser to the advocacy group Every Child Matters, said he agreed with what he has read thus far in the report, entitled “Shame on U.S.”

“The report is say-ing what a lot of people have been experienc-ing,” Petit said, who wasn’t speaking on the commission’s behalf. “I share many of those sentiments that the fed-eral government is not providing the kind of oversight needed.”

The Children’s Ad-vocacy Institute and First Star fault all three branches of federal gov-ernment for failing to protect children.

The U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Human Services is re-sponsible for imple-menting and enforcing federal child welfare laws and programs, but the agency largely takes a hands-off approach, allowing states to self-certify that they are in compliance with federal requirements.

“There is no mean-ingful oversight and the states know it,” the re-port said.

Another Collins-Maxwell/Bax-ter football player has been chosen to play in the Iowa Shrine Bowl.

CMB senior Bryce Kemp will step onto the UNI-Dome football field on July 25, and take part in the 43rd in-stallment of the an-nual Iowa all-star football game.

Kemp will play with some of the best senior foot-ball players that Iowa has to offer, including future Iowa Hawkeye and two-time state-champion quarterback Ryan Boyle of Dowling Catholic, future North-ern Iowa running back Trevor Allen of Waukee, state wrestling champi-on Jake Marnin of Southeast Polk and fellow district stud Ryan Sarver of Albia.

Kemp will likely play wide re-ceiver, which means he could catch passes from Boyle or Alex Nielsen, a Class 3A all-stater from Cres-ton/Orient-Macksburg.

“We have been blessed to have many of our athletes get recog-nized to play in this game,” said CMB coach Rob Luther, who was an assistant coach in the game back in 2003. “It’s a great opportu-nity for Bryce to meet other great football players, but there is more to this week than just a football game, too,”

Kemp was one of the reasons CMB went through the regu-lar season undefeated for the first time in program history. He scored a touchdown five different ways and finished with 46 catches, 950 yards and eight scores as the Raid-ers’ primary receiver.

He also rushed for 222 yards and three scores, threw a TD pass, returned a kickoff for a score and had two interception returns for scores. Kemp led the team in tack-les with 69 and also had four sacks and 10 tackles for loss.

Kemp will play for the South squad in the shrine bowl. His head coach will be Wade King of Daven-port Assumption. The North team will be coached by Scott Frerichs of New Hampton, but the roster for his squad was not available on the Iowa Shrine Bowl website.

Kemp is an Eastern Michigan commit and can officially sign his National Letter of Intent on Feb. 4. He recently visited and received a scholarship offer from Northern Iowa as well as Illinois State, but Kemp turned down both schools, according to Luther. The CMB coach also said Kemp is scheduled to visit Iowa this weekend but is still committed to EMU.

Other CMB student-athletes also are planning on signing foot-ball scholarships on Feb. 4.

First-team offensive lineman Patrick Girard has committed to Morningside College, while first-team all-state kicker Joey Nissen will play for Grand View University.

Third-team all-state lineman Clayton Weltha has not picked a school yet, but he is deciding be-tween Simpson, Wartburg, Wil-liam Penn and Buena Vista.

Someone may need to tell my wife I won’t be available on Valen-tine’s Day. And then run away as fast as you can.

District wrestling tournaments were already scheduled for that day and then Monday the IGH-SAU released its basketball pair-ings and the opening round of regionals for Prairie City-Monroe, Colfax-Mingo and CMB are later that night.

She is used to me working all day on weekends and probably won’t be too shocked that Valen-tine’s Day will have to be celebrat-ed on a different day.

That’s the life of a sports writer.

AMES (AP) — Iowa State accom-plished what it set out to do: respond to a brutal loss at Texas Tech with another big win over a ranked team.

But the Cyclones might be haunted by the final minutes of a game they nearly let slip away.

Georges Niang scored 19 points, Bryce Dejean-Jones had 18 and 15th-ranked Iowa State held off No. 19 Texas 89-86 on Mon-day night.

Jameel McKay had 14 points for the Cy-clones (15-4, 5-2 Big 12), who let Texas score 23 points in the final 2:58 and yet still managed to hang on for their fourth win over a Top 25 op-ponent.

“I feel like just seeing the ‘W’ on the board is something that helps put Texas Tech behind us,” Niang said. “That being said, we have yet to put a 40-minute game together.”

For 28 minutes though, the Cy-clones looked as good as they have all

season.Then they let the Longhorns look

even better.Iowa State broke open a tight game

with a 27-12 run and went ahead by 21 with 11:36 left. The desperate Long-horns answered with a furious rally, scoring 47 points in just more than 11 minutes, and pulled to 87-84 on Jona-than Holmes’ 3-pointer with 22 sec-onds left.

Javan Felix scored 20 points and Isa-iah Taylor had 17 for Texas (14-6, 3-4), which has dropped consecutive games for the second time this month.

“When we were down 21 (I said), ‘We’ll see what we’re made of here.’ Our guys fought. They kept fighting. We got aggressive,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said.

The Cyclones and Longhorns were widely believed to be among the stron-gest challengers to Kansas’ 10-year hold on the Big 12 title. But Iowa State’s 78-73 loss to the Red Raiders on Saturday and the 75-62 defeat Tex-as took against the Jayhawks in Austin left each team searching for a response.

The Cyclones beat the Longhorns

— barely — by going around them.Iowa State compensated for a ma-

jor size disadvantage by attacking the Longhorns’ zone with precise ball movement, and back-to-back alley-oops from Niang to McKay put the Cyclones ahead 36-23.

Niang opened the second half with a 3 to help Iowa State jump ahead 47-30, and a transition dunk by Monte Morris put the Cyclones up 51-33.

Still, it took free throws from Niang and McKay in the final 20 seconds to stave off what would have been a crushing defeat for Iowa State.

Morris had 13 points and six assists for Iowa State, which allowed an as-tounding 23 field goals in the second half.

“I loved our energy out of the gate,” Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg said. “Down the stretch, that was crazy. An absolutely crazy game.”

Holmes had 17 points with 10 re-bounds, and Texas freshman Myles Turner scored in double figures for the fourth time in five games with 16 points.

Iowa State hosts TCU on Saturday.

Regional basketball pairings are released

Indianola joining Little Hawkeye Conference

Citing the right time and competition size, Indianola will become a member of the Little Hawkeye Conference begin-ning the 2016-2017 school year.

“We’re very excited with what Indianola brings to the conference in both activities and academics,” said Bill Pe-ters, Newton High prin-cipal, of the decision. “It’s a great school and much like Newton.”

Monday night, the Indianola Board of Education approved changing the schools’ athletic and activities to the Little Hawk-eye Conference from the Central Iowa Metropolitan League (CIML) Metro Divi-sion. The Indianola school board approved the motion 7-0.

“This is a great opportunity for our student athletes,” said Bernie Brueck, CAA, director of activities, Indianola Community Schools in a news release.

“The time is right, we’re at a place in our district where we want to compete with schools more in line with, not only our size, but our culture and fan base, and LHC of-fers that. Plus, there is great potential for community growth in each of the districts we’ll be playing. It’s a win-win,” said Brueck.

Indianola joins New-ton, Grinnell, Norwalk, Oskaloosa, Pella, Pella Christian and Dallas Center-Grimes, which became a LHC mem-ber this year.

The path to another state tour-nament berth has been drawn for the sixth ranked Lynnville-Sully girls’ basketball team.

The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union released its bas-ketball pairings for Class 1A, 2A and 3A on Monday afternoon and the Hawks were given two home games and a potential trip to Iowa City for a regional final and a chance to lock down a fifth state tournament berth in the last six years.

Lynnville-Sully, one of six re-maining undefeated teams in Class 1A, received a first-round bye and will face either HLV (2-13) or Ce-dar Valley Christian (7-8) in the 1A Region 5 quarterfinals in Sully on Feb. 17.

A win would then advance the Hawks (16-0) to the regional semifinals, which also will be in Sully on Feb. 20. Potential oppo-nents include Iowa Valley (12-4), Montezuma (5-11), Belle Plaine (9-7) or Meskwaki Settlement School (4-10). L-S has beaten

Montezuma twice in conference play this year and also has a con-ference win over HLV, Iowa Val-ley and Belle Plaine.

The 1A Region 5 final will be played at Iowa City West. The fa-vorite to reach that game on the other side of the bracket is No. 12 Springville (13-2). All girls bas-ketball playoff games involving area schools tip off at 7 p.m.

Prairie City-Monroe is another area team which was potentially given a pair of home playoff games.

The Class 3A No. 15 Mustangs will play in Region 6 and will host Centerville (6-10) in the regional quarterfinals on Feb. 14.

A win would push PCM to the regional semifinals in Monroe on Feb. 18. The opponent would ei-ther be Albia (7-9) or Chariton (5-9).

Things could get much tougher for the Mustangs (11-5) after the first two rounds. The regional fi-nal will be played in Washington on Feb. 21 and the opponent will likely be 3A No. 1 and undefeated Mediapolis.

SPORTS CALENDAR

NEW YORK (AP) — Make no mis-take: Mike Krzyzewski is proud of his 1,000 wins. Just don’t expect him to keep chasing milestones much longer.

“There’s an end in sight. I’m going to be 68 next month. It’ll end sooner than later,” he said.

Krzyzewski became the first NCAA Division I men’s coach to get 1,000 wins when No. 5 Duke surged past St. John’s late in the second half Sunday for a 77-68 victory at Madison Square Garden.

Tyus Jones scored 22 points and the Blue Devils (17-2) went on an 18-2 run down the stretch to put Coach K in four figures on his first try.

“There will be others that win more, but it is kind of neat to be the first one to 1,000,” he said.

Coach 1K. How grand, indeed.Krzyzewski shared the moment with

his family, pointing out that two of his three daughters and seven of his nine grandchildren were in attendance as he spoke in the postgame interview room.

But he could do without all the recent hoopla and individual adulation.

“I’m glad it’s over,” Krzyzewski said. “There have been so many articles writ-ten. There were things written that I didn’t even know about me.

“Now, no more stories about my past or whatever,” he pleaded. “Enough is enough.”

Jahlil Okafor had 17 points and 10 rebounds, combining with Jones and Quinn Cook (17 points) to fuel the de-cisive spurt after Duke trailed by 10 with 8:15 remaining.

That’s when the Blue Devils finally began to look like a Krzyzewski-coached team, picking up their defense and hus-tling to loose balls as he urged them on from one knee in front of the bench. Duke outworked the Red Storm (13-6) on the glass and held them without a field goal for 6 pivotal minutes.

“It just, boom! It was great,” Krzyzewski

said. “It was beautiful, re-ally, to see them fight today and win.”

When the final horn sounded, Blue Devils play-ers engulfed Krzyzewski and he received a bear hug from top assistant Jeff Capel. Photographers swarmed the coach on the court, and players were giv-en T-shirts that read “1,000 Wins And Kounting.”

“It’s a great feeling. Winning in the fashion that we did for Coach’s big game, it’s really special,” junior guard Rasheed Sulaimon said.

A public-address announcement of-fered congratulations to Krzyzewski, and Duke fans at a packed Garden chanted his name.

“I’m not sure I’ve ever been a part of a game like that. That’s kind of nuts, huh?” Krzyzewski said. “It just seemed like three different games.”

Here are some things to know about Krzyzewski’s milestone win:

NEW YORK, NEW YORK: No. 1,000 came about 500 miles from the cramped and cozy confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium, but Coach K was hardly on unfamiliar soil. Madison Square Gar-den, after all, was where he notched vic-tory No. 903 against Michigan State in November 2011, breaking the Division I record previously held by his college coach and mentor, Bob Knight. “To win the 1,000th here, you need to be a lucky guy. I like my place, Cameron, but this is a magical place,” Krzyzewski said.

BIG PICTURE: Krzyzewski im-proved to 1,000-308 in a 40-year coach-ing career that began in 1975 at his alma mater, Army. He is 927-249 in 35 sea-sons at Duke, guiding the Blue Devils to four NCAA titles and 11 trips to the Final Four. “It’s special. But it’s for all the players who have played for him who got

these wins. It’s not just us,” Cook said. “That’s why we wanted to come out and get it done.”

PRIME TICKET: The vocal crowd of 19,812, mixed with fans of both schools, included about 15-20 former Duke players as well as Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jack-son from the New York Knicks; St. John’s greats Chris Mullin, Lou Carnesecca and Felipe Lopez; and Nike boss Phil Knight. Around 30 minutes before the opening tip, rising ticket prices ranged from $225 to $888 on stubhub.com — which also cov-ered admission to the doubleheader finale between Iona and Niagara at “The World’s Most Famous Arena.”

EARLY STRUGGLES: Midway through an entertaining first half, Krzyze-wski was on his feet as St. John’s erased an 11-point deficit. Wearing a blue suit and white sneakers to support Coaches vs. Cancer, Krzyzewski stalked after the officials at the end of the half to argue that D’Angelo Harrison’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer came after the shot clock ex-pired. Coach K didn’t get the call, and the Red Storm went into the locker room leading 43-39. “At halftime I sent a text out to destroy all the books on leadership, because it wasn’t working,” Krzyzewski joked.

BY THE NUMBERS: Duke is 26-8 at Madison Square Garden under Krzyzewski, including 18 wins in its past 21 games. ... Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is second on the Division I men’s list with 962 wins. Ex-Tennessee coach Pat Sum-mitt holds the women’s Division I record with 1,098 victories.

WHAT’S NEXT?: Two tough road tests for Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference — at No. 8 Notre Dame on Wednesday night, followed by a trip to No. 2 Virginia on Saturday. Krzyzewski has 421 wins in ACC regular-season and tournament play. He needs two to pass old rival and North Carolina great Dean Smith for the most in league history.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The Williams sisters are back in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam, and neither one is there just to watch.

Venus Williams continued her impressive career resur-gence at the Australian Open with a 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 win over sixth-seeded Agnieszka Rad-wanska on Monday night, reaching the last eight at a major for the first time since the 2010 U.S. Open.

Younger sister, Serena Wil-liams, was supporting her and cheering for her from the stands at Rod Laver Arena, just hours after she had to dig deep for a 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 comeback win over Garbine Muguruza on the same court.

The sisters haven’t both advanced this far at a major since Serena won Wimbledon in 2010, their careers seem-ingly veering off at opposite trajectories.

Serena has won five Grand Slam titles in the interim,

lifting her tally to 18, while seven-time major winner Ve-nus has labored for years since being diagnosed in 2011 with Sjogren’s syndrome, which causes fatigue and inflam-mation. She’d only been be-yond the third round once at a Grand Slam event since the start of 2011, and many thought she’d never return to the last eight. Even so, she’s not getting too excited four wins into a tournament.

looking in, I guess it could look like that,” the seven-time major winner said. “But for me I’m just really focused and poised right now. I feel like I’ve been here before, so it’s not like I’m jumping up and down for joy, ‘Oh, shoot, what is this? I’ve never done this.’

“Yes, I’ve done this. This is what I’m always going into each tournament thinking I want to do. Now is my mo-ment and I want to keep this moment going.”

The 34-year-old Venus next face Madison Keys, a 19-year-old American who was inspired to play tennis by watching the Williams sisters.

Serena was motivated by a Grand Slam loss that stung her more than any last year in her match against No. 24-seeded Muguruza, who had conceded only four games to her in a second-round up-set at the 2014 French Open.

“She made me play a lot better,” Serena Williams said. “I had to play the best match of the tournament or else I was going to be out.”

The five-time Austra-lian Open winner next faces Dominika Cibulkova, who reproduced the kind of tennis that took her to the final here last year as she beat two-time champion Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Keys advanced to her first Grand Slam quar-terfinal with a 6-2, 6-4 win over good friend and fellow American Madison Brengle.

Serena had difficulty breathing at times Monday, and coughed throughout the match, later saying she’d been sick for a couple of days.

Top-ranked Novak Djokov-ic had a 6-4, 7-5, 7-5 win over Gilles Muller to reach the quar-terfinals at a 23rd consecutive major. Next up, he faces No. 8 Milos Raonic, who moved into the last eight in Australia for the first time with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-7 (7), 6-3 win over No. 12 Feliciano Lopez.

Defending champion Stan Wawrinka beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 7-6 (2), 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (8) and will next take on U.S. Open finalist Kei Ni-shikori.

Spurred on by hundreds of flag-waving Japanese sup-porters at Rod Laver Arena, No. 5-ranked Nishikori had little trouble in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 win over No. 9 David Fer-rer, who reached the French Open final and Australian Open semis in 2013.

Williams sisters advance to quarterfinals at Australian Open

Serena Williams, left, and Venus Williams

The other three teams in the region include Mediapolis’ first-round opponent, Louisa-Mus-catine (2-14), Central Lee (11-6) and Davis County (8-7).

Colfax-Mingo and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter will both play in Class 2A Region 7.

The Raiders (2-14) will travel to Pella Chris-tian (8-6) for a first-round game on Feb. 14,

while Colfax-Mingo (0-15) heads to Conrad to face BCLUW (5-12) that same night.

A CMB win over the Eagles would put the Raiders in the regional quarterfinals against for-mer Heart of Iowa Ath-letic Conference rival West Marshall (13-4). That game will be played in State Center on Feb. 17.

Colfax-Mingo’s re-gional quarterfinal op-ponent, if it knocks off the Comets, will be 11th-ranked Des Moines Christian (12-4). That game will be in Urban-

dale on Feb. 17.Those two regional

quarterfinal winners will meet in the semifinals in Urbandale on Feb. 20. The regional final will be played at Adel on Feb. 23. And the likely op-ponent from the other side of the bracket is No. 7 Panorama (14-2). Van Meter (11-5) also is on the other side.

The Class 4A and 5A pairings will be released by the IGHSAU on Feb. 2.

Lost your Cat?

Astrograph

Venus in Pisces will bring changes of heart. In the weeks to come, hearts that danced with intention will take it to the next level, sprouting wings and flying to unexpected places. The heart’s journey happens on many planes at once, including the astral plane. Don’t be in a rush to make sense of it. The heart has its own mystical logic.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 27). Besides putting in the work to get use out of the intellectual abundance of your birthright, you’ll also apply emotional and spiritual intelligence to cre-ate the personal life of your dreams. February brings a financial breakthrough. You’ll receive visitors in May and make memories. You’ll make an important promise in September. Can-cer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 22, 14, 39 and 50. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Instead of avoiding negative feelings, dive right in to whatever is bother-ing you. Dealing directly with your challenges will

liberate you. A moment of unpleasantness will be fol-lowed by hours of relief. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can plan this day to a point, but leave yourself exit strategies too, and be willing to bail on the plan when spontaneous opportunity arises (and it will).

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to put people to the test to sense which ones are good for you. Affirm to yourself who your allies are because utilizing your alliances will help you succeed in the next 48 hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s too general to say that you trust one person or don’t trust another. Un-derstanding who people are and how they are likely to behave is much more useful than blanket statements of trust or distrust. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s said that you’re not supposed to awaken people who are sleepwalking. Sim-ilarly, it could be dangerous

to offer too much outside reality to one who is living very much within a bubble of personal reality. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your social landscape is changing. Instead of of-fering signs of approval, try empathy. Ask the questions that might help you better understand how another person walks this world. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Does self-improvement have to be such an endless quest? You may simply not be in the mood for it today. As Winston Churchill said: “He has all of the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even though you’ve done nothing wrong, those who misunderstand you could ask you to defend yourself. If you think you might be put on the stand, prepare a case for yourself before-hand. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some responsibilities do not need to be taken on, and others cannot be avoid-

ed and therefore should be accepted immediately. Knowing the difference takes wisdom, which you definitely possess. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Just because you have a right to do a thing doesn’t mean you should. There are many considerations to fac-tor into today’s decisions, not the least of which have to do with the feelings of others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While the gurus spout the glories of being “authentically you” and “living your truth,” the re-ality is that relating well to a variety of other humans takes specialized skills that must be learned. At first it will feel like an act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When the laws of supply and demand don’t seem to be working in your favor, get creative. You’re truly brilliant in your ability to manage the equation to better suit you. COPYRIGHT 2015 CREATORS.COM
