Green files lawsuit against water board Disputing extra pay Former Creston The auditor’s report states the Water Works Mng. majority of the $90,000 in imSteve Green disputes proper disbursements came from Green being improperly paid auditor’s report.

Says it “is filled with for performing inspections or attending meetings on two major conclusions unsupprojects including the Creston Water Plant expansion and Sumported by facts” ■

By KYLE WILSON

CNA assistant managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Steve Green — former general manager at Creston Water Works — formally filed a civil lawsuit Nov. 7 against the city of Creston and Water Works Board of Trustees. He is suing the water board for violation of wage payment collection and breach of contract.

Green was general manager of Creston Water Works for 34 years.

He was terminated in June 2013 by the water board after a special inves- Green tigation report by the state auditor revealed Green was paid almost $90,000 in improper and unsupported disbursements between July 2005 and November 2012.

However, Green and his lawyer strongly disagree with the auditor’s report stating in the lawsuit that it “is filled with conclusions unsupported by facts, inferences without basis, and incorrect conclusions about each of the alleged improper and unsupported disbursements.”

In Green’s lawsuit, he’s asking to be paid wages due under his contract including accrued vacation and sick leave. Green said the breach of contract has caused him financial harm.

In the lawsuit, Green asks for a trial by jury to settle this matter.

mit Lake project.

For those two projects, the auditor states Green claimed an extra 962 hours of inspection and meeting time — totaling $49,720.42 in additional compensation and retirement contributions.

However, Green disputes in his lawsuit the auditor errored in his report because the extra pay was specifically authorized in two separate memorandums each endorsed by two members of the water board.

The water board and auditor respond by stating board members who represent less than a quorum of the entire board do not have the authority to authorize extra pay.

Vacation payouts An accounting firm notified the Water Works business office in 2012 Green’s vacation balance should be 80 hours rather than 532 hours recorded in the accounting service.

In accordance with his current contract, he’s entitled to five weeks of vacation on his April anniversary date each year.

The auditor states, however, his contract does not include any language allowing him to carry over his vacation balance or to receive a payment in lieu of taking his vacation. All staff at the water department must use their vacation in one year or lose it — unless otherwise approved by the water board.

That being stated, the audit reveals Green was carrying over his vacation time each year, and there were 19 instances between 2005 and 2012 whereby Green’s

Will criminal charges be filed against Steve Green?

It’s been five months since the auditor’s report was released and Green was terminated.

Yet, no decision has been made yet whether criminal charges against Steve Green will be filed.

The reason: Iowa Assistant Attorney General Scott Brown — assigned to the Green case — was involved payroll check included vacation payout. Those instances totaled $30,313.15 in unauthorized vacation payouts and FICA contributions.

However, Green states that total of $30,313.15 is incorrect based on the mistaken assertion that because his contract does not specifically authorize such payouts and because no other employees have such benefits, that he did not have the right to such benefits.

Equipment found A search warrant was executed on Green’s garages Nov. 16, 2012 and the state auditor’s report states a Honda generator, pressure washer and two ladders were located.

The auditor reported total equipment purchased by Waters Works improperly found in Green’s garages totaled $2,317.27.

Green disputes the equipment — owned by Creston Water Works — was not improperly in his possession because the auditor failed to account for the reason he kept work-related equipment at home. Green said the reason is for times he was on-call during non-business hours.

Clause in contract Green’s three-year contract

in the Seth Techel murder case that concluded last week in eastern Iowa. That case resulted in a mistrial.

Brown told the CNA last week — now that Techel’s second trial has concluded — he plans to have a decision soon regarding Green’s case and will file his decision with Union County Attorney Tim Kenyon. signed by the board in December 2011 had an extra clause stating “upon the manager’s termination, death, retirement or resignation, the manager’s accumulated sick leave and vacation hours can be converted to wage equal to the wage at the time of separation and be used for reimbursement by payment or payment of annual insurance premiums at the discretion of the manager.

The insurance provided will be equal to what is stated in this agreement for the manager and/ or his spouse.”

The board members interviewed by the auditor believe Green himself added this clause to his contract because he was planning to retire during the end of the three-year contract.

However, the auditor points out no other Water Works employees have this clause in their contract or are entitled to use their sick leave and vacation to pay for insurance.

In the lawsuit, Green reminds the water board of the clause in his contract.

Because the board approved the contract with this clause, Water Works may be required to pay up to $54,891.20 for insurance premiums for Green even though he’s been terminated.

Green disputes the equipment — owned by Creston Water Works — found in his garage during a search warrant Nov. 16, 2012 was not improperly in his possession because the auditor failed to account for the reason he kept work-related equipment at home. Green said the reason is for times he was on-call during non-business hours.

Senate GOP rejects another Obama judicial nominee WASHINGTON (MCT) — Senate Republicans on Monday stymied President Barack Obama’s latest judicial nominee, leaving one of the nation’s top appellate courts shorthanded and escalating the endless confirmation war.

Facing a nearly unified GOP front, U.S. District Judge Robert Wilkins failed to secure the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster and win a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The 53-38 vote late Monday afternoon marked the third time in three weeks that Senate Republicans used the filibuster to block an Obama nominee to the D.C.-based appellate court. ``I am deeply disappointed that Senate Republicans have once again refused to do their job and give well-qualified nominees to the federal bench the yes-or-no votes they deserve,’’ the president said in a statement afterward. ``This obstruction is completely unprecedented. Four of my predecessor’s six nominees to the D.C. Circuit were confirmed.

Four of my five nominees to this court have been obstructed. When it comes to judicial nominations, I am fulfilling my constitutional responsibility, but Congress is not.’’

The Senate’s action, with only two Republicans, Sens.

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, voting against the continuing filibuster, leaves the appellate court with eight active judges

and three empty seats. One of the seats has been vacant since 2005. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, voted present.

The persistent filibuster, moreover, poisons the well for other judicial nominees, potentially for years to come. It’s prompting Senate Democrats, once again, to consider the socalled “nuclear option” that would change Senate rules and ignite GOP rage.

The often threatened but never used nuclear option refers to a parliamentary maneuver that would enable the Senate majority to change the rules and win confirmations with 51 votes instead of 60.

The judicial nominee showdowns also illuminate the selective use of evidence by both sides.

“Now what we’re getting is not the pretense of extraordinary circumstances (to block a nominee),” said Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. “What we see is, ‘We’re going to keep the D.C. Circuit tilted in

a conservative direction even through eight years of your presidency.’’’

The court’s eight active judges are split evenly between Democratic and Republican appointees. But of the court’s six senior judges, who can also hear cases, five are Republican appointees.

Republicans say the court has all the judges it needs.

“We shouldn’t confirm any more judges to the D.C. Circuit, especially when those additional judges cost approximately $1 million per year, per judge,” Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Monday.

Obama nominated Wilkins, who is African-American, along with Georgetown University Law Center Professor Nina Pillard and attorney Patricia Ann Millett to the appellate court in June. Each, in turn, has failed to clear the 60-vote hurdle.

Politically, they never really had a chance.

For years, Democrats and

Republicans alike have resisted the other party’s nominees from joining the D.C.-based appellate court. Though former Lawrence, Kan., resident Sri Srinivasan, a former Justice Department official, won unanimous confirmation in May, impediments have been far more common for the court.

The appellate court oversees federal regulatory agencies, among other things.

When Florida-based SeaWorld challenged Labor Department rules imposed following the drowning death of a trainer, the company came to the appeals court. The court heard oral argument in the SeaWorld case last week.

The court is also important for what it can lead to. Four of the Supreme Court’s current nine justices once served on the lower appellate court.

Keeping potentially attractive candidates off of the D.C. court in the first place, as Democrats did during the Bush administration with thwarted nominee Miguel Estrada, is a tactic employed by both parties.

“It serves as a farm team for the Supreme Court,” said Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, adding that the D.C. court handles an array of “environmental, civil rights, worker’s rights and health care” cases.

OPINION

Typhoon Haiyan demands climate action at the U.N. Summit in Warsaw Typhoon Haiyan, a storm of historic proportions, has devastated the largely impoverished population of the Philippines. Thousands of people are dead, hundreds of thousands are stranded with almost no food or water, and millions have been impacted. The struggle to survive competes with the race to bury the dead, treat the wounded and suffer through the onslaught of tropical storms in Haiyan’s wake. In seeming synchrony, halfway around the world, thousands of negotiators, scientists, politicians and journalists are gathering for the annual United Nations Climate Change summit, held this year in Warsaw, Poland. The changing seas that this week have whipped the Philippines demand a sea change in the worldwide response to global warming.

As “COP 19” opened in Warsaw - the 19th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol - one courageous climate negotiator took center stage, demanding action on climate change.

“What my country is going through as a result of this extreme climate event is madness. The climate crisis is madness,” said Naderev “Yeb” Sano, representing

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

the typhoon-ravaged Philippines, as the summit opened. “We can stop this madness right here in Warsaw.” This was not his first appeal to the U.N. body. Last year, when the summit was in Doha, Qatar, and not long after Typhoon Bopha killed 1,100 people in the Philippines, Sano implored the gathered negotiators, holding back tears: “The outcome of our work is not about what our political masters want. It is about what is demanded of us by 7 billion people.

I appeal to all: Please, no more delays, no more excuses. Please, let Doha be remembered as the place where we found the political will to turn things around.”

Doha did not turn things around.

Report after report reinforces the science: Catastrophic climate change is accelerating. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the association of more than 1,800 scientists that is leading

the global study of climate change, and which shared the Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore in 2007, recently released its fifth assessment report. With increasing certainty, the IPCC reports, the climate is changing, and humans are the cause.

Jeff Masters is a meteorologist and founder of the popular weather website Weather Underground.

Unlike most U.S.-based television weather forecasters, who rarely link extreme weather events to climate change, Masters regularly makes the connection. He said on “Democracy Now!” news hour, “The proportion of these sorts of high-end Category 5 storms has increased ... when we do get them there’s a higher proportion of them coming in at these super-high intensities.” Masters and the IPCC point out that no individual weather event can be directly attributed to climate change, but that the frequency and intensity of the storms will increase.

While the science is dry and peerreviewed, the reality on the ground is grim and deadly. Typhoon Haiyan (which is called Yolanda in the Philippines) is the latest, epic example. Superstorm Sandy, one

year ago, hit New Jersey and New York City, shutting down one of the largest cities on the planet.

It’s too soon to call the U.N. climate summit in Warsaw a failure.

Earnest negotiators have gathered in Poland, alongside activists both inside the National Stadium, where the conference is being held, and outside, in the streets. Activists from Greenpeace called attention to Poland’s intense dependence on coal-fueled power plants by projecting messages onto the huge smokestacks stating “Climate Change Starts Here.” At the same time, 28 other Greenpeace activists face seven years in prison in Russia for protesting the first exploratory oil-drilling rig in the Arctic. The two journalists covering them face the same charges.

Many consider Warsaw just a steppingstone to the climate summit planned for Paris in 2015, conceding that immediate action is not possible. Why? At the climate summit in 2011, in Durban, South Africa, a representative of the youth delegation addressed the closing plenary, expressing frustration with the slow progress. Anjali Appadurai said: “You’ve been ne-

gotiating all my life. ... Long-term thinking is not radical. What’s radical is to completely alter the planet’s climate, to betray the future of my generation, and to condemn millions to death by climate change. What’s radical is to write off the fact that change is within our reach.”

Yeb Sano is not giving up, either on his family, many of whom were directly hit by Typhoon Haiyan, or on the process. As he closed his statement at the opening session in Warsaw this week, he announced, “I will now commence a voluntary fasting for the climate ... during this COP, until a meaningful outcome is in sight.” *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,000 stations in North America. She is the co-author of “The Silenced Majority,” a New York Times best-seller. (c) 2013 Amy Goodman Distributed by King Features Syndicate

House Republicans passed a bill Friday HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Princeton University released a study Friday showing that falling in love and having sex makes you smarter. It’s all cyclical. Falling out of love and having no sex makes you stupid but the royalties you earn from the country song you write about it make you rich.

The White House reports that Secret Service agents were caught sending out graphic texts to women online while on duty at the White House. Everyone is stunned. This is the first evidence we’ve seen that somebody at the White House knows how to use a computer.

House Republicans passed a bill Friday to allow people to keep the health plans that were canceled by ObamaCare. There’s a problem over separation of powers. The White House said that Congress’s bill will destroy ObamaCare, and that’s clearly arithmetic’s job.

The Philadelphia Marathon boasted thirty thousand runners participating Sunday. It wasn’t the day’s only big race, There was a dash in Washington D.C. where hundreds of Democrats ran away from ObamaCare, proving that Kenyans don’t always win these things.

Pope Francis won an online poll Wednesday asking people who’s the most-discussed person on the worldwide web. He didn’t win everything in the survey. Single ladies who subscribe to Christian Mingle

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

rated Pope Francis the numbertwo catch after Tim Tebow.

Miley Cyrus smoked a joint while accepting an MTV award Sunday. She had just sung a song while simulating sex with a dwarf.

Today Billy Ray Cyrus is in court in Nashville changing his name to Tom Ford ObamaCare because he’s got his own career to think about.

Toronto mayor Rob Ford admitted he drank and drugged Friday before he defended bringing a hooker into the office and denied offering oral sex to a female staffer. Then the TV reception went dark. Canada Cable announced the teaser time elapsed and that U.S. cable providers must pay a ten-dollar-per-viewer subscription fee for Rob Ford news items.

USA Today reported a poll Frday saying thirty percent of Americans get their news from Facebook. That’s crazy. Going on Facebook is like being in prison--you spend a lot of time alone, you write on walls, and you get poked by people you don’t know every night.

Oprah Winfrey accused the GOP of refusing to respect Presi-

dent Obama. He’s rescued banks, doubled the Dow and oil is thriving. President Obama talks like a liberal but the results are so conservative that the Miami Dolphins just named him an honorary white guy.

Downton Abbey fans got good news Tuesday when PBS renewed the series for a fifth season. Critics say it spreads class prejudice.

Lately in Las Vegas, people who play the nickel slots look over at the people playing the penny slots and regard them as white trash.

Alex Rodriguez vowed to fight Major League Baseball in court for suspending him for steroid use for which he wasn’t tested. It’s cost him endorsements. Nike doesn’t condone the use of performanceenhancing drugs unless it helps Asian children increase production.

President Obama urged Congress Sunday to pass a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

He keeps one eye on history. This is the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the president wants to honor the replacement players.

The History Channel will remake Alex Haley’s Roots although the ABC miniseries was exposed as a hoax. Today’s TV viewers don’t mind a little exaggeration. Nat Geo’s Killing Kennedy was such a hit they’ve just authorized a sequel called Zombie Kennedy’s Revenge.

ENTERTAINMENT Has hubby been taken to cleaners?

Dear Heloise: When I was growing up, my dad had his suits DRY-CLEANED every season, or if something was spilled on it. My husband has his cleaned every time he wears it. I feel the correct amount of cleaning is probably somewhere in the middle.

I feel like my husband wastes a lot of money on dry cleaning, but I am willing to cede the point if you back him up!

— A Reader, via email You are right — there is a happy medium. A lot depends on how often the suit is worn, how it is taken care of and the quality. If done too often (after every wearing is way too much!), yes, the chemicals and pressing done by dry cleaners most likely will shorten the life of the suit.

Dry-cleaning a suit only once a year or every season seems to be not enough. A handful of times a year or after many wearings seems to be the happy medium. Get a suit brush to give the suit and pants a once-over after wearing. Always hang the suit up after wearing to air out any odors and decrease wrinkles.

If the suit is taken care of, it will last a long time and remain in good condition. — Heloise

Hints from Heloise P.S.: Do have the WHOLE suit cleaned at the same time.

Some people think they can get away with cleaning just the jacket, but it’s not a good idea.

LETTER WRITING Dear Heloise: Most of us are aware that letter writing is a thing of the past. I have sent letters to my younger grandchildren, enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope and including a piece of notepaper.

I have received many letters in return from the grandchildren and even one with “Gramma and Grampa” written over our names on the self-addressed envelope. I am a grandmother trying to keep letter writing alive. — B.M. in Florida How smart of you! A great hint to keep in touch with the grandchildren. I love it! — Heloise LID STORAGE Dear Heloise: I store my plastic-bowl lids in plastic storage bags, with small lids in quart-size bags and larger in gallon-size bags. You don’t

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

have to hunt for matching lids because they’re all stored in one place. Saves cabinet space, and you easily can stack bowls. — Barbara L., Roseland, Fla. PRODUCE BAGS Dear Heloise: My hint has to do with the frustration of trying to open plastic produce bags in the grocery store.

Many grocery stores provide sanitizing wipes. I keep mine and use the moisture from it to open the produce bag with ease. — Karen R. in Texas NEWSPAPERS Dear Heloise: I am a big recycling fan and like to put used newspapers in grocery sacks/bags. To keep the bags stronger, I tape all the way around the top with packaging tape. The sacks are used until BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker they literally wear out! — Pat A., via email Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

Horoscope Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You will see new arrangements for how to deal with shared property, taxes or debt. You also can fund raise or attract money from others.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good day to sit down with someone and discuss how you can improve the relationship. You’re ready to see the man behind the curtain.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good day to introduce reforms and improvements at work. Similarly, you might discover reforms and improvements to your own health.

Great!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions related to sports, the care and maintenance of children, show business, the entertainment world and anything to do with the hospitality industry will be meaningful today. You want to get to the bottom of things to make them better.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Family discussions will be intense but productive today.

You might come up with improvements to areas related to laundry, plumbing, garbage and recycling. “Clean the place up!”

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because you have such a penetrating mind today, you’ll be able to spot a phony a mile away. You’ll also be convincing and persuasive. Oh boy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might see new ways of making money or new uses and applications for something you already own. Why? You’re resourceful!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today you’re attracted to mystery and puzzles.

Basically, you want to know secrets or the subtext of things. “What’s really going on here?”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a classic day to do research of any kind. You’ll be like a dog with a bone. You will leave no stone unturned until you find what you’re looking for. (Expect results.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’ll be persuasive and effective in dealing with groups today. However, if someone pushes you the wrong way, you’ll set them straight in a New York minute. Oops.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Be careful talking to authority figures today, because you might come on a bit too strong, especially if you think you’re right. There’s no point in winning the argument if you lose the war.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a powerful day to study or explore new ideas. It’s also a strong day to work out differences in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Others will listen to you.

YOU BORN TODAY You are rebellious and controver-

sial. Perhaps this is because despite your wonderful sense of humor, you provoke others. Of course, behind this impulse is your great idealism. Despite your light-hearted facade, you are practical. You also are playful. But mostly, you are dedicated, persevering and outspoken. This year is the beginning of a fresh new cycle.

Stay flexible!

Birthdate of: Dick Smothers, comedian/musician; MingNa Wen, actress; Ashley Fink, actress/singer.

Branstad open to considering run-off election law change DES MOINES (MCT) — Gov. Terry Branstad said Monday he would be willing to consider a change in Iowa’s election law whereby top vote-getters in statelevel party primary races would compete in a run-off election if no one received 35 percent of the ballots in a multi-candidate field.

Currently, state law provides that the party’s nomination for an elective office is decided by delegates to the party’s state convention if no primary candidate secures at least 35 percent of the ballots cast. That situation could arise in the 2014 race for the Republican Party’s U.S. Senate nomination, with at least seven people vying for a chance to race Democratic congressman Bruce Braley in the general election one year from now.

Branstad said some cities in Iowa and some others states use run-off elections to decide the outcome when no candidate receives a plurality of votes, and he would be willing to consider that change if a proposal came before the Iowa Legislature.

“It’s something I would be willing to look at,” Branstad told his weekly news conference in response to a question from a reporter.

“I think it might make sense,” the governor said regarding a possible law change to establish run-off elections in state races in

Iowa. “I’m certainly willing to look at the idea, the concept of having a runoff election, let’s say, 30 days later.

I think a number of states do that.”

Branstad noted that he was part of a six-candidate field in 1982 when he made his first bid for governor and managed to avoid a state convention fight by garnering the required 35 percent needed to secure his party’s gubernatorial nomination.

Big send-off for Spartan volleyball team

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College volleyball players walked through a cheering tunnel of supporters Monday afternoon while boarding a bus to the team’s first national tournament in 14 years.

Coach Melissa Blessington and the 35-9 Spartans departed Creston at 1:30 p.m. and stopped in Joliet, Ill., for a practice session there today before completing the trip to Toledo, Ohio.

The Division II national championships are hosted by Owens Community College Thursday through Saturday. This is Southwestern’s first appearance in the tournament since 1999.

The Spartans, who received votes in the last national poll, are the highest seed of the four unrated teams in the 16-team field.

Southwestern is the 12th seed and takes on fifth-seeded Illinois Central, rated sixth in the nation, in the first round at 2 p.m.

(CST) Thursday.

(Starting time is listed as 3 p.m. on the Owens CC web site, but all times posted on the official schedule are listed in Ohio’s Eastern Standard Time.)

Southwestern is planning a viewing party in the Student Center Thursday afternoon,

and action can be viewed online through Owens CC link on the NJCAA web site — http://www. njcaa.org.

If the Spartans would lose the opener Thursday, they would

play play at 11 a.m. Friday in an elimination match. If Southwestern wins the opener, a secondround match in the championship bracket would follow at 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

Spartan men hold on for third win in a row

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

It wasn’t the prettiest of games, but the Southwestern men’s basketball team did enough good things in order to hold on for its third win in a row, 74-67 over Graceland’s JV team here Monday.

The Spartans held a 3532 lead at halftime and eventually took a 67-55 lead with 4:48 remaining in the game.

But, Graceland chipped away at the lead and cut it 67-61 with 3:43 remaining.

“Needed some free throws down the stretch, and we actually just needed to make some stops down the stretch,” Southwestern head coach Mike Holmes said. “We weren’t stopping consistently. The final margin got created when we made some good shot challenges and got some rebounds and took control with that.”

With the score 69-65 in favor of Southwestern, the Yellowjackets drew an offensive foul on the Spartans with 1:32 left in the

game, but couldn’t convert the free throws.

Jared Theis answered with two free throws of his own and Tanner Kellogg added one to make it 7267. Theis grabbed a defensive rebound with :22 left and Nick Lenhard sank two free throws to create the final 74-67 score.

Elliott Hamdeed scored 11 points in the first half in helping the Spartans build the lead and f i n i s h e d Hamdeed with a gamehigh 18. Theis added 14 points to go with his key defensive rebounds down the stretch.

Kellogg scored 13 off the bench for Southwestern, while Mataika Koyamainavure also recorded double figures with 11 points.

“Not terribly pretty, but I mean there were enough good things to win,” Holmes said. “There were some things that obvious-

ly need to improve. I just wouldn’t call it a complete game, and I don’t think our guys would, either.”

Holmes said he felt his team made some nice back cuts under pressure from Graceland’s defense, and he was happy with the defensive rotations. Looking inside to the post also helped the Spartans get to the free throw line, where they shot 28-of-39.

“You always want to win,” Holmes said. “That helps ease whatever difficulties you’re having. After this, I’m not going to say this anymore, but I’ve got to remember we’re a very young team. Everything’s kind of a learning experience and if you can learn while you win, that’s a good deal.”

Jake Still of Mount Ayr scored seven points for Graceland. Cody Scroggie of Murray recently joined the Yellowjacket basketball team and will be making the switch from football to basketball

“If we win our first match, we’re guaranteed 10th or higher,” Blessington said. “We need to set the tone and place high. If we would win our first two, we could face (top-ranked) Cow-

ley County, which was the 2011 champion and second last year.”

Grand Rapids, Mich., seeded 10th this year, was the 2012 national champion.

Blessington said the Spartans are not affected by the relatively low seed, 12th in a 16-team field.

“We beat (seventh-ranked) Kirkwood coming out of our region, and our region is tough, a constant battle every night,” Blessington said.

“I like being the underdog. We can still surprise people. We have Blessington our work cut out for us with Illinois Central. Their coach has been there a long time and they are a perennial team in the tournament.

They have one really tall girl, otherwise we match up pretty well.”

Blessington said she is not sure if Jenna Casey, battling a stress fracture, can return to action during the national tournament. Otherwise, the Spartans are healthier than they were at the regional finals, when the team was battling widespread illness.

“Jenna is hoping she can contribute, but she’s still hurting,” Please see SEND-OFF, page 2S

Spartan women gain second win

One year after going 0-30, the Southwestern women already gained victory number two on Nov. 18.

The Spartans avenged a loss in the season-opener by holding off Graceland JV 74-63 to improve to 2-3 for the season.

Southwestern, now 3-2 for the season, returns to action at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at home against North Central Missouri, a team that defeated the Spartans 60-56 on Nov. 9.

“That should be a good barometer to see if we have improved like we think we have,” Holmes said. “Another game where we need to be a little more consistent on both ends.”

a great job of executing our offense and getting good shots in the first half.”

Graceland started heating up from 3-point range in the second half and cut a 20-point bulge (67-47) in half at 67-57 with 1:44 remaining.

“We’re not great against (defensive) pressure right now,” Houston said. “We know what we want to do against it, how we want to attack it, but sometimes we get a little frustrated and aren’t strong with the ball.

That’s something we’ll continue to work on.”

Peyton Russell made five free throws in the final 1:20 to keep the Yellowjackets at bay for the final Russell

11-point margin.

Southwestern’s two returnees led the victory as guard Morgan Knorr scored 23 points — including 10-of11 free throws — and center Darian Polson Polson tossed in 14 points.

The Spartans did a good job of attacking the basket and finished 27-of-37 at the free throw line to Graceland’s 11-of-27. That helped offset Graceland’s 14 3-pointers.

The busy week continues with a home game against North Central Missouri College at 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday, followed by a trip to Highland, Kan., on Saturday in a rematch of Saturday’s home loss.

“It’s a long week and you have to balance the practice times with the games,” Houston said. “But if you can manage three games a week, then when you get in the conference, playing two is a little easier.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers claimed one of their most dramatic wins in franchise history in improbable fashion—with quarterback Cam Newton outdueling New England’s Tom Brady, the master of fourth-quarter comebacks.

Newton hit Ted Ginn Jr. on a game-winning, 25-yard touchdown pass with 59 seconds left to lead the Panthers past the Patriots 24-20 in front of a crowd of 74,000plus that had Bank of AmerCNA photo by LARRY PETERSON Southwestern center Jared Theis (33) moves to the bas- ica Stadium rocking in the ket during Southwestern’s 74-67 victory over Graceland final minutes.

out a fight, getting the Patriots to the Carolina 18 with three seconds left. On the final play, Brady threw into the end zone for tight end Rob Gronkowski, but rookie safety Robert Lester stepped in front for the interception.

Officials initially threw a flag on linebacker Luke Kuechly for pass interference on Gronkowski but picked up the flag, giving the Panthers their biggest win since 2008, the last time they made the playoffs.

The Panthers (7-3) look to be on their way back to the postseason.

They’ve won six in a row, matching a six-game streak in 2005 for the second-longest in franchise history. The 1996

The Panthers improved to 7-4 all-time on Monday Night Football, while the Patriots (7-3) fell to 22-23 on MNF. “It was a gutsy effort,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “It wasn’t our best defensive effort. But it most certainly was one of our best offensive efforts.”

Newton completed 19 of 28 for 209 yards and three touchdown, with a passer rating of 125.4. He was the game’s leading rusher with 62 yards on seven carries.
