Solar panels added at Hawkeye Stages

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News In an effort to continue being green, Hawkeye Stages, 300 E. 17th St. S., recently added two arrays of solar panels to the roof of its building.

Work began last month on 84 panels each on two arrays; the set up has the capability to provide enough energy for almost all of the buildings needs.

“Our owner, Steve Tjossem, is extremely green. The facility was designed with more efficient materials and heating and cooling systems. We have five geothermal units heating and cooling this facility,” said Rick Brannen, of Hawkeye Stages.

The solar panels in Newton are the next step for the company, which first put solar panels on the home office in Decorah in the spring. Joel Teslow, co-owner of Decorah Electric, installed the panels over a few days and Brannen said that it couldn’t have been an easier process.

“They are mounted on the roof for the best solar gain on what would be the best part of a day for making electricity based on where we are at in the world,” Brannen said.

“We’ve been doing

some really nice production since.”

The two arrays at Hawkeye Stages connect to two separate meters with energy provider, Alliant Energy. Suite A includes the wash bay wing, basement, second floor locker areas and the maintenance shop.

The solar panels are projected to produce 26,500 kilowatts per hour annually with an average utility cost of 13 cent per kw/hour or $3,445. The building previously used 42,800 kw/hour which means a utility offset of 62 percent of the annual utility bill that will now be covered by the new solar panel system.

Suite B, which houses the offices, conference center and lounge areas has an identical solar panel system and is projected to generate the same rates as Suite A. Because they building also has energy efficient lighting and the geothermal heating and cooling, the utility offset is projected to 98 percent.

“In times that we are producing more energy than we are consuming, this excess production will flow back into the energy grid essentially turning our meter backwards and will register a credit on our SOLAR | 3A

Destination downtown for One Mans Junk

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Owner Edie Simmons stands in the new location of One Mans Junk, 118 First Ave. E., surrounded by what could be another man’s treasure.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A familiar shop is now in a new downtown location. One Mans Junk moved into the former Beaded Needle location Friday at 118 First Ave. E. from its first home at 412 W. Eighth St. N. “When this came up I pretty much jumped on it,” said owner Edie Simmons. “I like it. I got more in here than I thought I would. When I first looked at it, I thought, whoa ... I got more in here than I thought I would.”

Although smaller than her first location, the tall ceilings and flow of the store give it a full feeling without being cramped.

At a glance, any number of items will come into view from movie posters to costume jewelry and copies of old newspapers. She also has a small back space to house items as well.

A lot of the same merchandise is available for purchase with a few notable additions.

A local woodworker is building wood furnishings such as benches, a dry sink and quilt racks that are displayed and available in the new store. Simmons has also added more Harley Davidson items including boots and clothes.

A change from her previous location, Simmons will no longer be taking any consignment items. The smaller location no longer lends to constant additional outside items at this time, but Simmons has not ruled bringing consignment back in the future.

Before finding the new location, Simmons was considering just selling items out of her home on the Internet. At around that time, the location opened up and she could not have been happier to still call a shop home.

The new location is a fresh start and already provided sales before the doors even opened, she said.

“As I was moving in people were seeing stuff and buying,” Simmons said.

Available at the shop are dishes, jewelry and toys as well as collectibles and classic Avon, along with many other finds.

Simmons recently added merchandise from the Newton Seed Store, which is closing at the end of the month.

A grand opening will be planned for some time after Thanksgiving, but before Christmas, to welcome customers to the new location. Additional holiday items will also be added for the upcoming season.

US economy fueling strong hiring if not pay gains WASHINGTON (AP) — Healthy job growth in the United States has reached a level of consistency unseen in nearly two decades.

In the same week that voters signaled discontent with the U.S. economy, the government issued a report that showed employers have added at least 200,000 jobs for nine straight months — the longest such stretch since 1995.

Combine it with an unemployment rate that has slid to 5.8 percent — the lowest since 2008 — and the picture that emerged Friday was of a job market gaining increasing distance from the recession

that officially ended nearly 5.5 years ago.

The job gain for October was a solid 214,000, on top of a combined 31,000 more in August and September than the government had previously estimated.

The steady improvement contrasts with the struggles of economies overseas, a key reason the Federal Reserve is withdrawing its stimulus just as other central banks ramp up theirs. This week, for example, the European Central Bank opened the door wider for further help for a eurozone economy that may be on the brink of another recession.

Thank You First, I would like to thank God for allowing me to be re-elected to the County Board of Supervisors. Also, thanks to everyone who supported me, and who allowed me to place a sign in their yard.

I look forward to serving the people of Jasper County for another four years.

The U.S. job market is hardly without its own weaknesses.

Americans’ average hourly pay rose only slightly last month, a negative note in an otherwise solid report. Stagnant wages have been a chronic weakness in the job market since the recession ended.

Voters listed the economy as their top concern in Tuesday’s elections, and the sluggish pace of pay growth was a likely factor. Average hourly pay rose 3 cents in October to $24.57.

That’s just 2 percent above the average wage 12 months earlier and barely ahead of a 1.7 percent inflation rate.

“We think that there is

plenty of evidence to suggest that ... wage growth is accelerating,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.

The U.S. unemployment rate fell in October even as more Americans began looking for work. That suggests that more out-of-work people were encouraged by the brightening jobs picture.

Pay gains in some industries are outpacing the national average. For workers in the hotel, restaurant and entertainment industry, hourly pay has risen 3.5 percent in the past year.

Retail pay has risen 2.6 percent. So has construction pay.

Economists say the rising U.S. economy — the world’s largest — is unlikely to provide much spillover help to sputtering economies overseas.

Though the U.S. economy accounts for one-fifth of global output, Europe and Japan face major hurdles to faster growth.

These include aging populations, crushing government debt and heavily regulated job markets.

Analysts say the economic expansion remains strong enough to support the current pace of hiring. Over the past six months, the economy has grown at a 4.1 percent annual rate.

“This type of installation is referred to as ‘grid tie.’”

Brannen is able to monitor the system using a website from his computer. He can see how much energy is being produced at any point during the day on both of the arrays. Even on cloudy days, Brannen said the solar panels are producing energy.

The company was able to take advantage of several federal and state tax incentives as well as utility rebate programs that were in place. As the first commercial application of solar panels in Newton, Hawkeye Stages hopes its success will lead others to take a look at the energy method.

Don’t forget the turkey, gratitude

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 10, 2014

So, it’s happened. Halloween ended and the commercialization of Christmas rolled right in, waving its pine-scented hand and shaking its lighted booty.

Say it with me — this will continue to happen every year. We shouldn’t sweat it.

For those with Christmas trees already decking the halls — great.

For those scrooging about — why?

I’m not going to get into a celebrating our differences stance, but when someone chooses to start embracing the holidays has zero impact on me. I don’t lose any sleep at night about who has all of their shopping done, who has their tree up and who is already listening to holiday tunes.

But I will say this — let’s remember Thanksgiving. Let’s be grateful and count our blessings.

It’s a tall order isn’t it? After daylight savings takes effect I sometimes lose motivation, and feel a little sluggish. This is usually demonstrated by changing into my pajamas before 6 p.m. It’s dark and

cold out — tell me you don’t do it.

You know what can get you motivated? Offering to host your family Thanksgiving.

This year will mark the first time we’ve hosted the big shebang, though it should be a laid back affair with an average number of guests.

This is not to say I haven’t cooked Thanksgiving dinner before. Miraculously, I have. A couple of years ago my husband came down with strep throat the day before Thanksgiving. With plans to visit my brother’s home, and to create a lavish green bean casserole from scratch, it became clear on the eve of Thanksgiving that our plans would change.

Even if we were going to be stranded at home, our kids certainly needed a traditional turkey dinner. I insisted on it.

The problem, however — I don’t cook. Not well, anyway. I’ve been blessed and cursed with some amazing cooks in my life.

My mother is brilliant in the

kitchen. She can blow you away with something as simple as a cold meat sandwich. My husband is the primary cook in our household because he’s also quite savvy in the kitchen, and he genuinely enjoys it. As for me, I’m most comfortable cooking meals like spaghetti and sloppy joes.

However, when a family emergency is afoot, I’m your gal.

If you’ve ever wondered if you can find a thawed, organic turkey the night before Thanksgiving, the answer is yes. You can. Everything else you need is also readily available, and there are few others that do their shopping at this time.

Having never prepared such a feast, I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. The turkey was moist, I had all the fixings and it was all quite tasty. I even made the extravagant green bean casserole recipe, which included deep frying onions for the topping.

In the end my husband pulled himself from bed and ate a little with the kids and me. It’s become

one of those satisfying Thanksgiving memories, even though it was somewhat frustrating at the time. It’s similar to when my brother’s kitchen suffered a minor fire during a Thanksgiving gathering. It was extinguished quickly, but still required my brother to wave a broom steadily in front of the smoke detector for some time.

I think what I love most about this prelude to Christmas is the opportunity to embrace gratitude, and perhaps consider how we might make a difference in other people’s lives.

Getting caught up in the commercialization bit, even by letting it frustrate us, is just a distraction. I’m excited to make some new memories this year and spend some time with our loved ones. And that’s something for which I am truly grateful.

adults will experience mental illness. The brain is an organ of the body. A disease in the brain is no different than a disease in the heart or the lungs. Unfortunately, judgment against those with mental illness is often fueled by lack of information or simple ignorance. This judgment causes those suffering from mental illness to be ashamed or hesitant to seek proper care. A person does not choose to suffer from an illness, whether in the brain or in any other organ of the body.

As a community, we need to provide services through support, education and advocacy.

NAMI, National Alliance on

NAMI Jasper County is a nonprofit organization consisting of individuals with mental illness, parents, children, spouses, siblings and friends of people with mental illness.

There is a continuous and daily need for food donations, so we can fill the demand for food.

The Salvation Army serves all of Jasper County, and in an average month we provide more than 300 food boxes to those in need; serving only as a supplement to a family’s food supply.

So far 257 families have signed up for the Thanksgiving/Christmas food boxes. Although we provide a bread line twice a week

that serves an average of 85 families each time; there are needs to be met on a continuous basis. At this time, along with the basic food items, they could use canned fruits and vegetables, as well as canned meats like tuna, chicken, etc.

As you begin your grocery shopping for the holiday season, please consider picking up a few extra items to drop off at The Salvation Army or at the donation boxes where you shop.

Thank you to everyone for your generosity.

uated from the University of Iowa with a degree in history, so the history of my hometown interests me.

After reading about the church and cemetery being listed as part of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, I researched this National Park Service designation and found out it is one of 13 sites in Iowa on the list. And six of the other 12 are on the National

I don’t make it back to Newton much now, usually just once a year during the spring or summer. On my next visit, I will have to see this site.

I watch election results to gauge whether America has become freer or more tyrannical.

It’s hard to know whether Tuesday’s results will make m u c h differBy John ence. OfStossel ten, individual liberty erodes in ways that neither major political party much cares about.

Last weekend, I suffered through the New York Marathon. I suffered not because I ran 26.2 miles but because I live near Central Park, and at Marathon time, officials turn my neighborhood into a little police state. Four thousand police officers, 20 boats and four blimps “guarded” the Marathon. Barricades, bomb-sniffing dogs and surveillance cameras were everywhere.

This is new. Marathons used to be fun, people-friendly events.

Athletes and spectators mingled freely. No more.

New York’s authorities now treat marathon spectators as annoyances, if not threats. Even runners must pass through magnetometers before they may race.

This happened, of course, because of the horrible bombing in Boston. That shut down parts of Boston for nine days. But other countries’ response to terrorism is less extreme. Fifty-two people were killed in the London Underground bombing of 2005. By 4 p.m. that same day, bus service resumed.

In my neighborhood, concrete blocks and parked garbage trucks (manned by a union driver) prevent civilian vehicles from entering or leaving (in case terrorists drive a car over Central Park’s wall and then through the trees to kill runners?). We were allowed to walk home, but only if we showed ID’s that proved we lived on that street. The ground was covered in litter, since

authorities remove every trash can, lest a terrorist hide a bomb in one.

I can’t imagine what all this costs.

Police barricades are everywhere these days.

If you want to watch the Fourth of July fireworks in New York City, you may no longer just gather with friends and have a picnic. Police herd spectators into barricaded pens, and if people try to climb out to use a bathroom, cops yell: “Stop!

Once you’re in, you’re in.”

I doubt that such “security theater” makes us safer. If terrorists want to make a statement, they will find other locations.

Government always grows. Police departments are no exception.

The incentive is always: do more . Politicians reason, “If anything goes wrong, I’ll be blamed.

Someone else pays for prevention, though, so I’ll take every precaution.”

I once asked New York City’s police commissioner if there was now “too much security.” He replied, “people want to feel safe.”

Yes, most people will give up liberty for security.

But when we change society this way, we let the terrorists win.

That’s one reason I fight with Ann Coulter.

She wrote, “If you are considering voting for the Libertarian candidate in any Senate election, please send me your name and address so I can track you down and drown you ... (because) nothing matters more to the country than Republicans taking a majority in the Senate.”

That mindset distracts us from defending something far more important than either party: individual liberty. Neither Republicans nor Democrats consistently protect it.

When I told Coulter that I often vote Libertarian, she replied: “Influence the Republican Party. ... Do not be the spoiler to hand the government over to Democrats, who I promise do not share a single principle with you.”

Wet, frigid weather hits Upper Midwest SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Heavy snow and plunging temperatures are moving into the Upper Midwest, marking the country’s first major snowfall of the season.

The powerful storm, which is coursing into the area from Alaska, is threatening to drop a foot or more of snow in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, while dropping thermometer readings by as much as 40 degrees below average.

Here’s what to expect: Winter is ... Here Some school districts in Minnesota cancelled classes as snow moved in Monday, while slick roads welcomed morning commuters there and in parts of Wisconsin.

The National Weather Service said it’s part of a ribbon of wet, frigid weather that pelted parts of Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas with snow on Sunday.

The storm is moving east, but keep your coats handy: The plunging

temperatures are expected to linger.

In Great Falls, Mont., the high temperature — typically in the low 40s this time of year — is predicted to be 7 degrees early this week and stay below freezing into the weekend. The forecast for Sioux Falls, S.D., is a high of 25, which is about 20 degrees below normal. High temperatures in Minneapolis will only reach the upper 20s.

“We’re kind of getting locked in winter’s grip here,” said Troy Kleffmen, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Aberdeen, S.D. Residents in Minnesota should prepare for between 8 inches and 12 inches of snow, while Chicago also is expecting earlier-than-usual wintry weather. Weather service meteorologist Gino Izzi said the highs in the city are expected to settle into the 30s from Tuesday through Friday, while nightly lows could drop into the teens.

“It doesn’t look real promising for a warmup after that, either,” he said.

Where’s it coming from?

The weather is part of a powerful system being pushed in by the remnants of Typhoon Nuri that hit Alaska’s Aleutian Islands with hurricane-strength winds over the weekend.

Although that storm didn’t do much damage in Alaska’s sparsely populated Aleutian Islands, forecasters say it’s anchoring a system will push an unseasonably frigid blast of air into the mainland U.S. and send temperatures plunging early this week.

The good news Yes, there’s good news. Sort of.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration isn’t expecting a repeat of the 2013-2014 season. Federal forecasters predicted last month that this winter will be fairly average without a lot of extreme

conditions such as last year’s Arctic influx from the polar vortex.

That doesn’t mean it won’t be cold, and other private weather forecasters are predicting a slightly cooler winter than NOAA. And, a reminder: NOAA didn’t predict the extreme low temperatures experienced last winter.

Ready. Set. Wait.

If you’re flying in the coming days, expect delays. Delta Airlines says snow in parts of the Midwest may affect travel, including to and from Wisconsin and Minnesota. The airline recommends checking your flight status early and often.

Driving isn’t recommended in general in winter storm areas, especially in some remote areas of the Northern Plains, but if you must drive, be prepared; Have a full tank of gas, an emergency kit and exercise caution on slick roads with high drifts and low visibility.

Lead contamination in Iowa state building DES MOINES (AP) — Testing has identified lead dust contamination on the first two levels of the Wallace State Office Building in Des Moines, which houses 495 state employees.

The highest contamination levels were found in and around a former indoor shooting range on the second floor, which had been used by the Iowa

Division of Criminal Investigation.

State officials do not believe the contamination poses an immediate health threat to employees who work in the building,, said Caleb Hunter, deputy director of the Iowa Department of Administrative Services, which oversees state buildings.

Couple’s pregnancy is no business of critical friend

DEAR ABBY: May I have some advice about a touchy subject? One of my boyfriend’s close friends is going through his third bout with cancer and the prognosis is not good. He is married with a healthy 3-year-old son.

So imagine our surprise when his wife announced she’s pregnant.

This is a decision we do not support. I don’t know what they’re thinking, but if you are facing the reality that your spouse will not be around much longer, we don’t feel it is wise to bring another child into the world who will never know his or her father.

Some of her close friends want to throw her a “sprinkle,” and although I am only an acquaintance, I have been invited. How do I handle this? Should I attend and keep my thoughts to myself, decline and/or send a small gift in my absence? I have a hard time making small talk about subjects I don’t agree with.

Did I mention she does nothing but complain about how hard her life is now? I’m afraid if I go and get involved, I’ll be on the hook down the road when she wants to complain about how hard it is to raise two children alone. — ISN’T MY CHOICE DEAR ISN’T: Feeling as you do, decline the invitation. This woman needs friends around her during this painful and traumatic time, and you do not qualify. To send a small gift would be both thoughtful and kind, because I am sure her life is extremely difficult now.

As to this couple having made a decision with which you do not agree, allow me to point out that not all pregnancies are planned, and this may be one of them.

DEAR ABBY: My folks are in their mid-70s and have health problems. My oldest niece, “Riley,” will graduate from high school next spring and is considering going to a college

near them. My parents recently told me that my brother is suggesting Riley move in with them.

The girl has some behavioral issues and is in counseling. She’s not an easy, happy or normal kid. My parents are extremely uncomfortable with the idea, but have not said anything to my brother. I think they are afraid of a fight or causing hurt feelings. He is in denial about his daughter’s problems.

I’m concerned about my parents. At their age, I don’t think it’s fair to expect them to have another teenager in their home, much less one with issues.

Is it my place to say something, and if so, what do I say? — LOOKING OUT FOR MOM AND DAD DEAR LOOKING OUT: You should definitely say something, but not to your brother. Talk with your parents. Remind them that if they’re not OK with the arrangement your brother has proposed, it’s their responsibility to make plain that because of their ages and their health problems they’ll be unable to accommodate his request. Because it’s the truth, it shouldn’t cause an argument or hurt feelings. Also, your brother will have plenty of advance notice that other living arrangements will have to be made for Riley.

WINTERSET — A frantic hunt for a runaway, pregnant dog ended happily when searchers found the black lab mix in an Iowa garage — nursing a brand-new litter of puppies. The hubbub began when the dog, which was being flown from Texas to a Wisconsin rescue shelter, slipped out of her harness and fled during a stop at the Winterset, Iowa airport on Friday.

Crews searched for the dog, named Ava, overnight. She was found just before noon Saturday in a Winterset home’s garage.

After win, focus of Branstad’s 6th term unclear The Associated Press DES MOINES — Republican Gov. Terry Branstad romped to victory Tuesday, but after a campaign light on policy proposals, it isn’t clear how he’ll focus his sixth term.

Compared to his 2010 race, when he pledged to create jobs and reform government, Branstad offered more modest proposals this year, such as a plan to expand Internet access in rural areas. Branstad’s campaign largely touted his recent legislative achievements, including a commercial property tax cut and new education spending.

“We’ve laid out some of the ideas in the campaign. There will be more,” said Branstad, adding he would outline more details in his

inaugural address and condition of the state speech in January. “We will really be spelling out our vision and our plans with those two major speeches.”

One issue Branstad said he’ll Branstad focus on is securing more funding for the state’s deteriorating bridges and roads. He wants to seek input from lawmakers for a compromise plan. That could include an increase to the state’s fuel tax — an option that has stalled in the past — but Branstad is not committing to any one course.

“I want to approach it with an

open mind,” Branstad said.

Branstad also said he’d like to consider ways to hold down the cost of employee health care, noting a spike in costs to the state for 2015. But with many workers covered by collective bargaining agreements, any such changes would have to be negotiated. The contract negotiation process will start soon.

Branstad has said the agenda he laid out in 2010 was always meant to take five years, so he’s still working to meet those targets. When Branstad ran in 2010 he was attempting a political comeback against an incumbent Democrat and pledged to create 200,000 new jobs, increase family incomes and reduce the cost of government. His

The Associated Press MASON CITY — After several years of planning, a nonprofit group has begun moving an unusual Mason City home that once was threatened with demolition.

The historic Egloff house had to be separated into two pieces for the move because of its size and weight. The delicate moving process has begun, but only the garage portion of the house is ready to move.

Paul Oulman, with the companies moving the house, said it is a slow process.

“If you’re looking for instant gratification you better look somewhere else,” said Oulman, who works for an affiliate of Atlas Enterprises of Forest City.

The house is built in the international style, which featured an unornamented look with flat roofs and smooth walls. Few such homes were built in Iowa in the 1930s.

The Egloff house was built in 1938 by William and Margaret Egloff and purchased by the city for $314,000 after the 2008 floods. Most of the homes bought after the flood were demolished, but officials wanted to save the Egloff house because it is so unusual.

Community Benefit-Mason City plans to move the house to a location between the Historic Park Inn and the Stockman House, both designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Small Iowa church founds own radio station KENSETT (AP) — A small country church in northern Iowa has found a new way to reach followers: The church just launched its own radio station.

Elk Creek Lutheran Church in rural Kensett will soon celebrate its 150th anniversary. But it was only Nov. 1 that it began broadcasting nightly at 91.7 FM under the call letters KWGH. The “K’’ is standard for radio stations. The “WGH” stands for “With God’s Help.”

The signal reaches a 15- to 20-mile radius around the church; sometimes more depending on the weather.

Chewing sugarless gum may help reduce stress, according to a new study.

Participants were given math problems to solve for thirty minutes to increase their levels of stress. Afterward, they either were told to rest or were given gum to chew for varying lengths of time. Researchers analyzed saliva samples from both groups before the math computations and at intervals afterward to measure the amount of the stress hormone cortisol.

Results showed that chewing gum for 10-15 minutes was linked to a significant reduction in cortisol levels.

Experts caution that excessive gum chewing may lead to headaches and jaw problems.

New WWII book details story of ‘First SEALS’ The Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. — Before there were heavily armed Navy SEALs conducting nighttime helicopter raids, there were guys like Frank Monteleone landing on beaches in the dark on two-man motorized rafts dubbed “flying mattresses.”

The Brooklyn-born Monteleone was a member of an elite commando force within the Office of Strategic Services, the precursor to the CIA. Created after the United States entered World War II, the OSS pioneered many of the intelligence-gathering techniques

and commando-style tactics used by today’s U.S. special forces. The spy agency’s Maritime Unit, formed in 1943, shares the credit for setting the foundation for what would become the Navy SEALs, created in 1962 during the Kennedy administration.

Often only armed with knives and wearing nothing more than swim trunks and flippers, the Maritime Unit’s combat swimmers and other operatives carried out seaborne clandestine missions in the Atlantic, Pacific and Mediterranean theaters of World War II. Their story is told in a new

‘Big Hero 6,’ ‘Interstellar’ soar at box office The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — A team of animated Marvel characters rocketed past a group of wormhole-bound astronauts at the weekend box office.

Disney’s animated adventure “Big Hero 6,” featuring the inflatable robot Baymax and his prodigy pal Hiro from the Marvel comic book, debuted in first place with $56.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Paramount’s space saga “Interstellar,” starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway as astronauts, took off in second place with $50 million, estimates said.

Before launching in more than 3,500 theaters this weekend, writer-director Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” played Wednesday and Thursday in about 250 theaters equipped to project the movie on film — “The Dark Knight” filmmaker’s preferred method of showcasing his creations.

“Interstellar” opened below Nolan’s last film, the mind-bending thriller “Inception,” which conjured up $62.8 million when it debuted in 2010. Nolan’s scifi odyssey also wasn’t in the orbit of last year’s $55.8 million opening for Paramount’s previous space epic, “Gravity.” ‘’Interstellar” has a hefty running time of 169 minutes, while “Gravity” clocked in at 91 minutes.

“The difference is ‘Interstellar’ isn’t in 3D, and certainly the running time on our film does change the play pattern in that you lose an evening show,” said Megan Colligan, Paramount’s head of domestic marketing and distribution. “Given those factors, we did spectacularly well. ‘Gravity’ also opened by itself. We had another big film in the marketplace.”

book published last month, “First SEALS: The Untold Story of the Forging of America’s Most Elite Unit.”

The book’s release comes as two members of the SEAL team that killed Osama bid Laden in 2011 are making headlines and drawing criticism from U.S. military authorities for going public about their roles in taking down the terrorist leader inside his compound in Pakistan.

“I’ve always wanted to do a book on these (World War II) guys,” said author Patrick K. O’Donnell. “The bin Laden raid was sort of the culmination

of what all these men had built from 1943 to 1945.”

O’Donnell, the author of eight previous books on WWII military and intelligence history, had met Monteleone 15 years ago while researching a book on the OSS, which was led

by Gen. William “Wild Bill” Donovan, a Buffalo-born Wall Street lawyer. For the Maritime Unit, Donovan’s OSS recruiters sought out yachtsmen, Olympic-caliber swimmers and California “beach rats” — lifeguards and surfers.

Monteleone, the son of Italian immigrants, was recruited by the OSS because he spoke

fluent Italian and was trained as a Navy radio operator.

“The radio operator was the key to the mission,” O’Donnell said. “If you could not send and receive information on missions behind the lines, you were dead.”

Monteleone, 89, said he went through “all kinds of training” with the OSS, including demolition and handto-hand combat, but had missed out on parachute training, a must for any OSS operator. Once in the Mediterranean Theater, his detachment was assigned to the British Eighth Army.

Study: Hundreds of kids harmed by detergent ‘pods’ CHICAGO (AP) — Accidental poisonings from squishy laundry detergent packets sometimes mistaken for toys or candy landed more than 700 U.S. children in the hospital in just two years, researchers report. Coma and seizures were among the most serious complications.

The cases stem from the more than 17,000 poison center calls about the products received in the past two years. The calls involved children younger than 6 and most weren’t seriously harmed. But one child died last year and the potential risks highlight a need for even safer packaging, the researchers said.

Some manufacturers already have revised packaging and labels in efforts to make the detergent packets or “pods” safer for children. The study found calls dipped slightly after some of those changes were made.

The products contain concentrated liquid laundry soap and became widely available in the U.S. two years ago. Some are multicolored and may look enticing to young children. Poisoning or injuries including mouth, throat and eye burns can occur when

kids burst the capsules or put them in their mouths.

In the study, 144 had eye injuries, 30 went into comas and 12 had seizures.

Exposure to household cleaning products is among the top reasons for calls to poison centers involving young children. In 2012, detergent packet calls accounted for a fraction — about 6 percent — of the 111,000 calls involving young children and cleaning products, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers. Many calls involve regular laundry detergent, which can cause mild stomach upsets, but poison center experts say the new concentrated laundry packets seem to cause more severe problems.

Jessica Morin of Houston says her 9-month-old daughter, Marlow, was sickened earlier this year when Jessica’s grandmother mistook a detergent pod for a teething toy and put it in the baby’s mouth.

“I called poison control and they said to take her to the ER immediately,” Morin said. Marlow was repeatedly vomiting and underwent tests, but doctors at

Texas Children’s Hospital found no serious damage and she didn’t need to stay overnight.

“We were very lucky,” Morin said. “We don’t have those pods in our house anymore.”

The researchers examined 2012-13 data from the poison control centers group. Their study was published online Monday in Pediatrics.

Overall, there were 17,230 poison center calls about young kids getting into the packets, including 769 children who were hospitalized. Dr. Gary Smith, the study’s lead author, said his hospital had two recent cases — kids who developed breathing problems and required treatment in the intensive care unit. He’s director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

The American Cleaning Institute, which represents makers of cleaning products, issued voluntary guidance in March encouraging manufacturers to use labels that prominently list safe handling information. The cleaning institute said it is also working with manufacturers to educate parents.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Samantha Hedrick, NCMP junior, drives through the water at Saturday’s Iowa Girls State Swimming Championships on her way to second place in the 100-yard butterfly, setting a new school record.

Hedrick, Scotton claim state butterfly medals NCMP records fall at state meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Four school records established. Two sub-57-second swims in the 100-yard butterfly and both swimmers finish in the top six.

NCMP’s Aquagirls can say Saturday’s 2014 Iowa Girls’ Diving and Swimming Championships were a success.

Seven Aquagirls had strong performances in the pool at Marshalltown YMCA/YWCA. Junior Samantha Hedrick and senior Hannah Scotton made the podium for the second straight state meet in the 100-yard butterfly for NCMP. Hedrick smashed her own NCMP record in the event earning the second-place medal in 56.09 seconds. Scotton flew under the previous school record also, claiming the sixth-place medal in 56.80 seconds.

“I know the girl next to me (Kelsey Drake of Linn-Mar) and what she was capable of. I’ve been up against her before,” Hedrick said. “I knew how fast I needed to take it out and not get completely blown away.

My family pumped me up before the meet, encouraging me. It’s special to share it with

Hannah.”

Scotton collected her third straight state medal in the 100 butterfly. As a sophomore, she finished fifth and was fourth a year ago.

“What a great state meet for our girls,” said Sarah Patterson, NCMP head coach.

“We came in here wanting to drop times and we did. Everybody gave it their all. Our two butterflies making podium again and to both swim under the school record.

To see them hug after the race was special for me as a coach.”

Hedrick established a new NCMP record for the second time in as many weekends.

She won a regional championship in 57.11 which eclipsed Scotton’s NCMP record of 57.36.

At the state meet, Hedrick used a 25.78-second opening 50 yards to post her second-place finish.

Rachel Prendergast, a senior, had never posted a time of under 56 seconds in a 100-yard freestyle race. She did it twice at regional, winning a regional championship in the 100 and helping the Aquagirls qualify for the 400 freestyle relay event at state.

Prendergast followed the butterfly swimmers at state. Prendergast recorded her third sub-

56-second time, placing 23rd in the 100 freestyle at state with a 55.57-second timing. She had one more in her, swimming on the 400 relay in the final event of the meet.

“It’s great to know all have been working hard for as an individual and for the team paid off the past two weekends,” Prendergast said of her performances at state and regional.

“I’m really happy how things went at state. My goal as an individual was to prove I belonged swimming with the other girls in the 100 free and I did that. As a team, we knew we’d have to work hard to reach the podium but we did improve our times. I think the 400 free time can stand a couple of years and push others on the team to go after that time.”

All three NCMP relays turned in school record performances at state.

Hedrick and Scotton were on all three relays for the second straight state competition.

The Aquagirls opened state with an eighth-place finish in the 200 medley relay in a school record time of 1 minute, 50.30 seconds.

Juniors Sydney Jenkins and Hannah Rhoads hit the water with the first two legs, swimming the backstroke and breast-

NFC West contenders all win Sunday The Associated Press Ah, the wild West. As in the NFC West.

Considered the league’s best division heading into the season, the NFC West is not disappointing. The top three contenders from the sector, Arizona, Seattle and San Francisco, all were winners Sunday. The Cardinals also were losers as starting quarterback Carson Palmer injured his left knee.

Palmer was taken to the locker room on a cart after being helped off the field in the fourth quarter with Arizona down by four points. But the Cardinals (8-1) made several big plays down the stretch to beat St. Louis 31-14 and have the NFL’s best mark through nine games. They haven’t had such a strong record since going 11-1 as the Chicago Cardinals in 1948.

“I think there’s a question mark there because nobody knows what his status is,” backup Drew Stanton said after connecting with rookie John Brown for a touchdown. “It’s difficult because he is the leader of this team. ... We’ll just continue to weather the storm, whatever it is.”

Palmer hurt the same knee he injured Jan. 8, 2006, in a playoff game against Pittsburgh, when he tore his ACL and MCL on his first pass of the game.

Palmer was playing some of the best football of his career and, on Friday, signed a three-year contract extension worth a reported $50 million with $20.5 million guaranteed.

Seattle (6-3) ran all over the New York Giants 38-17 thanks to a record-setting performance by Marshawn Lynch. San Francisco (5-4) needed a fourth-and-10 conversion late in the fourth quarter to force overtime in New Orleans before winning 27-24.

Other Sunday scores: Denver 41, Oakland 17; Green Bay 55, Chicago 14; New York Jets 20, Pittsburgh 13; Detroit 20, Miami 16; Kansas City 17, Buffalo 13; Dallas 31, Jacksonville 17; Baltimore 21, Tennessee 7; Atlanta 27, Tampa Bay 17 The weekend’s action began Thursday night when Cleveland (63) defeated Cincinnati (5-3-1) 243. The Browns now lead the AFC North.

On Monday night, Carolina (3-51) is at Philadelphia (6-2).

stroke, respectively.

Scotton took over in the butterfly leg then Hedrick swam the freestyle anchor leg.

The same foursome set the former NCMP record, 1:50.45, at the 2013 regional meet.

Senior Sara Martin and freshman Emily Miller combined with Scotton and Hedrick for the 200 freestyle re-

lay race. Martin led off the relay in her final swim for the Aquagirls followed by Scotton, Miller and Hedrick for a NCMP record time of 1:39.08, which placed NCMP 13th at state.

The four had set the school record, 1:39.48, a week ago at the regional meet.

“Our goal was to drop time and yes, we’re

disappointed in not making the podium. I know they’ll come back to state and do better next year,” Martin said.

“It was emotional for me after the 200 relay because it was my last swim. Hannah (Scotton) had one more then after the 400, it all hit us as seniors.”

Harvick wins, Newman’s late pass dooms Gordon at Phoenix AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kevin Harvick finally has a shot to win his first Sprint Cup championship, while Jeff Gordon was once again denied in his drive for No. 5.

Harvick routed the field Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway, where he had to win to move into NASCAR’s championship finale.

He’ll go with Stewart-Haas Racing, the team he joined this season in his quest to win a title after 13 years of

futility at Richard Childress Racing.

“Coming over here and racing this year has given me new life,” Harvick said. “It’s like a dream. You lay it all out on paper and you say, ‘This is what we want to do and we want to race for wins and championships,’ and all of a sudden you’re a week away from everything that you talk about and dream about.”

ISU stays winless in Big 12 after deflating loss to rival Kansas LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas started the game going full speed. Iowa State started it in reverse.

Not much changed the rest of the way.

Michael Cummings threw for 278 yards and had two touchdowns, Corey Avery ran for 103 yards and another score and the long-downtrodden Jayhawks handled the Cyclones 34-14 on Saturday, giving them just their second conference win in the past four years.

Tony Pierson added 101 yards rushing and a touchdown, and Nigel King had 101 yards receiving as the Jayhawks (3-6, 1-5) raced out to a 24-0 lead in the battle for the Big 12 basement.

Iowa State put together a pair of touchdown drives to make the game interesting, but the Jayhawks answered with inspired play by their defense and just enough offense.

“This was a bad loss,” said Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads, whose team has won just five games the past two seasons. “That’s not a knock on KU. That was the worst half of football we’ve played in my six years here at Iowa State.

I’m ashamed of that.”

The victory ended the Jayhawks’ fourgame losing streak to Iowa State (2-7, 0-6), and may go a long way toward helping interim coach Clint Bowen earn the full-time job.

He’s already matched the number of conference wins that Charlie Weis and Turner Gill managed before getting fired.

“I’ve had tremendous help along the way,” Bowen said. “There are so many people in this program that bend over backward. It makes it a pleasure to come to work every day.”

It was a discouraging return to Lawrence for Iowa State offensive coordinator Mark Mangino, who led the Jayhawks to some of their greatest years.

Two years after coaching them to a 12-1

mark and a victory in the Orange Bowl, he was fired amid accusations that he mistreated players.

Grant Rohach, starting in place of injured quarterback Sam B. Richardson, was 25-of50 for 275 yards for the Cyclones. He also threw two touchdown passes but both happened after Iowa State went threeand-out on four of its first five drives and the Jayhawks had taken a 24-0 lead.

The Cyclones, losers of five of their last six, were stuffed for minus-3 yards total offense in the first quarter, and still had just 89 yards in trailing 24-7 at halftime.

“Can’t play that poorly as a quarterback,” Rohach said. “You can’t expect to win.”

Iowa State showed some moxie in taking the first possession of the second half 75 yards in just four plays, Rohach hitting D’Vario Montgomery from 35 yards to cap the drive.

But any of the momentum they built evaporated when Kansas went 80 yards the other way.

The Jayhawks converted third-and-19 with a 42-yard pass from Cummings to King, and the junior QB took a sneak over the left side for a matching touchdown and 31-14 advantage.

Rohach was sacked and fumbled on Iowa State’s next possession.

Kansas recovered and, a few minutes later, Matthew Wyman drilled his second field goal of the game to extend the lead.

By that point, the already sparse crowd was beginning to thin out.

Kansas finished with more than 500 yards of offense in its second game with wide receivers coach Eric Kiesau sharing offensive coordinator duties with John Reagan.

The Jayhawks dominated in time of possession, holding the ball for nearly 38 minutes.

They also converted 11-of-20 third downs, each time deflating the ISU sideline.

Panthers dominate No. 1 Bison Northern Iowa ends North Dakota State’s victory streak at 33 games CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Northern Iowa kept three-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State out of the end zone and handed the Bison their first loss, 23-3, on Saturday.

The loss snapped North Dakota State’s 33-game winning streak, the longest in Football Championship Subdivision history.

It also snapped an 18-game Missouri Valley Football Conference win streak. The loss knocked the Bison (9-1, 5-1) into a first-place tie with Illinois State atop the MVFC standings.

Northern Iowa (6-4, 4-2) pulled into a tie with Youngstown State for second place.

There was no second-half magic to save the Bison, only a frustrating Northern Iowa defense that snuffed out one of the longest winning streaks in the history and the longest active winning streak in college football.

The 19th-ranked Panthers shut down the running game of the top-ranked Bison and held them without a touchdown for the first time since a 3-0 loss to Missouri State on November 20, 2010.

UNI turned the tables on the Bison, outscoring them 16-3 in the second half. NDSU had allowed just 55 second-half points in its last 18 games.

Darrian Miller put an exclamation point on the win with a 30-yard TD run with 5:04 to play. UNI outrushed the Bison 213-43.

David Johnson rushed for 133 yards on 28 carries to lead Northern Iowa. Brion Carnes

finished with 43 yards, including a 6-yard run for a first-quarter touchdown.

With neither team generating offense, the game came down to breaks and UNI created more.

UNI’s first touchdown was set up by an interception and long return. The first of Michael Schmadeke’s three field goals was set up by a fumble, and a 56-yard kickoff return set up the second kick.

With the Bison ground game ground to a halt, NDSU had to rely on quarterback Carson Wentz and the junior struggled.

He was 15-for-25 for 132 yards and an interception. He missed several open receivers deep over the middle in the third quarter.

With neither team able to sustain an offense, NDSU’s defense created the first scoring chance but UNI’s defense took it away.

Brian Schaetz recovered a Carnes fumble giving NDSU the ball at the UNI 34. The Bison drive stalled and Adam Keller missed a field goal.

But UNI was whistled for a penalty and the Bison got the ball back at the UNI 13.

On third down, NDSU’s Andrew Bonnet bobbled a Wentz pass and Tim Kilfoy picked it off and returned it 45 yards to the NDSU 37.

Carnes later kept the ball for 6 yards and a TD with 3:59 left in the half and the Panthers took a 7-0 lead into the break.

It was the second straight game that NDSU trailed at halftime. South Dakota State led 10-7 only to collapse in the second half of a 37-17 Bison win last week.

The second half began with a fumble by NDSU’s Darius Anderson. Makinton Dorleant recovered at the Bison 25 and the Panthers went up 10-0 on Schmadeke’s 43-yard field goal just 1:19 into the half.

Ben LeCompte set up NDSU’s first score with a punt out of bounds inside the Panthers’ 1-yard line.

After a three-and-out, C.J. Smith returned a UNI punt to the Panthers’ 12.

But again, the Bison failed to move the ball and settled for an Adam Keller 21-yard field goal with 2:27 left in the third.

UNI took back the momentum right away when Chad Owens returned the ensuing kickoff 56 yards to the NDSU 44.

That big return led to Schmadeke’s 36-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter and a 13-3 lead.

Schmadeke struck again with 9:25 left from 42 yards out for a 16-3 lead.

With 5:04 to play, Miller ran up the middle and through the secondary for 30 of his 40 yards and a score that ended any hope of a Bison comeback.

NDSU running back John Crockett was held to 32 yards.

He came in averaging 115 yards per game.

NDSU was just 1-for-14 on third down and finished with 175 yards of total offense.

It was the second straight win by the Panthers over an unbeaten team. UNI handed Illinois State its first loss last week.

Minnesota pounds Hawkeyes, reclaims Floyd MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mark Weisman had no room to run. Jake Rudock had little time to throw.

Floyd had nowhere to hide.

Maxx Williams caught three of Mitch Leidner’s four touchdown passes, and Minnesota ran for 291 yards in a romp past Iowa 51-14 on Saturday afternoon to retake the Floyd of Rosedale trophy after a two-year absence.

The Gophers (7-2, 4-1) smothered the Hawkeyes for a season-low 84 yards rushing and swarmed the visitor sideline when it was over to hoist the heavy bronze pig the teams have played for since 1935. They moved back into a first-place tie with idle Nebraska in the Big Ten West Division, while the Hawkeyes (6-3, 3-2) fell into fourth.

“We weren’t ready to play. I thought we had a good week of practice. It’s just what you do to show up for game time. We obviously didn’t do that, and they were a better team,” left tackle Brandon Scherff said.

Weisman scored his 30th career touchdown, the third player in Iowa history to reach that mark, to cap a 76-yard drive to open the game. The Hawkeyes converted three third downs during that possession. But they just rolled over right after that.

Weisman managed only 21 yards on 14 carries, after totaling 324 yards on 45 attempts against the Gophers each of the last two years.

Minnesota was so concerned about Iowa’s running attack that

coach Jerry Kill had the Gophers defense working against that scheme in spring practice.

“We had trouble stopping it the last three years, so you’d better do something about it,” Kill said.

Iowa led 17-0 at halftime and won 23-7 here in 2013 and built a 24-0 advantage at the break on the way to a 31-13 victory in 2012. This script was flipped hard by Minnesota, which scored three touchdowns in the last 7 minutes of the first half.

“They got confident as the game went on,” Hawkeyes wide receiver Tevaun Smith said.

“They did a great job.”

The Hawkeyes were coming off a resounding 48-7 win over Northwestern in which they outgained the Wildcats 483-180 in total yards.

“You’ve got to learn you don’t walk on water when things are going good, and the other thing, when things go bad you don’t get in the fetal position and let somebody else kick the crap out of you,” coach Kirk Ferentz said.

“It’s pretty simple.”

Iowa plays at Illinois next week before finishing with home games against Wisconsin and Nebraska.

“You play 12 games, you find out a lot as it goes,” Ferentz said.

The Gophers had so many highlights that by the end it was easy to forget about the brilliance of Williams, the sophomore who has already set the single-season team record for touchdown catches by a tight end with seven.

On third-and-7 at the Iowa

48, with Minnesota leading 14-7, Leidner threw high to an open Williams near the sideline.

He made a fully extended diving catch that was ruled out of bounds, but another look by the officials overturned the call upon evidence he somehow dragged his left toe on the turf in time.

Williams scored later on that drive. Then with 31 seconds left before the half, he made another tough grab of a ball headed out of bounds, this time underneath the goal post to give the Gophers a 35-7 lead.

The Gophers dominated this one in every way, starting with a shrewd game plan by offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover that had Leidner rolling out, dropping back and running with the ball on zone reads through the middle of the Hawkeyes defense. After a rough game against the Illini, Leidner bounced back in a big way with 138 yards on 10-for-13 passing plus 77 yards on 11 rushes.

David Cobb carried 16 times for 74 yards and a score, K.J. Maye totaled 66 yards and a touchdown on 10 wide-receiver sweeps and Rodrick Williams Jr. scored on a fourth-quarter run once the Gophers had all backups in the game.

Donovahn Jones caught a 44yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter to give the Gophers the lead for good. They forced three turnovers, including an interception and a fumble from Rudock, and had four sacks. Rudock finished with only 89 yards on 10-for-19 passing.

Astrograph Monday, Nov. 10, 2014

The work is hard and the play is harder as Mars and Pluto align to highlight the abundance of will and ambition in the Capricorn realm. Avoid getting so caught up in the spirit of competition that you forget what really matters. Put people first — before money and any of the other goals. That’s a choice you’ll never regret.

thing? Even if that’s true, this is the kind of glitch that will bring out your best.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 10). You have a checklist for your life, and you’ll follow it dutifully to the end of the year to excellent results.

Be proud of yourself — it takes great discipline to achieve such things.

Go off the plan for an adventure with loved ones in January. March and July bring love and intrigue. June and September bring financial reward. Cancer and Taurus people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 7, 15, 42, 9 and 33.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though the line between accurate observation and cynicism is mighty fine, indeed, it’s important that you don’t cross it.

Much good comes from seeing the reality but thinking the best of things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t you hate it when you take the time and energy to prepare but it turns out that you prepared for the wrong

will get into the spirit of the thing anyway. If everyone had as much empathy as you, the world would be better.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Once you’ve done the job, ask yourself: How might I take things one step further? Going above and beyond the call of duty improves your fortune exponentially.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Even though stressful conditions often bring out the best in you, why invite the dynamic? Look for ways to make it easy on yourself. Seek help, lessen the load, or pick an easier task to tackle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There is always more to learn, and that’s why you don’t get bored.

Your curiosity will drive you ever deeper and wider into life. Even regular daily life intrigues you now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). When you’re well matched in a relationship, you can give your all and still feel like it’s not coming at any personal cost to you. The same goes for work that you are well suited for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). There’s a spring in your step and a song in your heart. Put your nickels in the machine of life because you’re lucky today, and you may just hit the jackpot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The only real competition for you is you — and you give yourself quite a run for your money today. It’s crucial that you take breaks to refuel your body, mind and spirit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a sporting spirit to the day. You’ll fling your effort as you would a flat stone along

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A loved one will be concerned with something that doesn’t mean much to you, and yet you

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You would like to establish yourself in a new circle. The way these people talk, dress and behave is a bit foreign to you now, but you’ll learn quickly enough. First, observe carefully. Then act like you already fit in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). No one is above human nature — they’ll make mistakes, and so will you. There is beauty in this as long as you accept it with a positive attitude and resolve to make the most of it.

State Continued from Page 1B Scotton, Prendergast, Jenkins and Hedrick lined up for the final race of the season, the 400 freestyle relay Saturday. A year ago Prendergast, Jenkins and Hedrick combined with Carly Coville to set the school mark at 3:39.57 at state. This year’s foursome came within a whisper of breaking the record at regional.

Scotton opened with a 54.59-second leadoff 100 followed by Prendergast turning in a 55.61.

Jenkins had the third leg, swimming 57.17, then Hedrick posted an anchor 100-yard time of 51.28 seconds. They dropped more than a seven off the school record (3:39.77) to claim ninth at state in 3:38.65.

“Being able to estabJocelyn Sheets/Daily News lish school records on all NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson talks to her swimmers during warm-ups before the relays was great. HavSaturday’s state competition. ing the seniors on the last

one was bittersweet because we were happy to have the record but sad it was their last race,” Hedrick said.

NCMP finished 13th as a team with 78 points.

Pleasant Valley won an epic back-and-forth battle with Ames atop the team standings. Pleasant Valley scored 301 points to Ames 293 points. Cedar Falls placed fourth with 170 points and Wes Des Moines Valley was fifth with 142 points.

Before the competition Saturday, NCMP assistant coach Chris Forsyth was honored with a 20-year service award. Forsyth has been coaching the NCMP team with Patterson for

20 years.

“This is a fun week for our state qualifiers.

We have a lot of traditions from going to Pella one evening, having a spaghetti dinner at my house, coming to Marshalltown to go to the mall, work out during the day and take in some of the state diving.

We have a gift exchange,” Patterson said. “These girls work hard all season, earned the right to compete at the state meet and have fun doing it. As coaches, we’re very proud of these seven girls and our team as a whole.”

NASCAR Continued from Page 1B He’ll race Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano and Ryan Newman next Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the championship. The title will be decided by finishing order, and all four will be vying for their first championship.

The championship field does not include Gordon or Brad Keselowski, who along with Harvick were the most dominant drivers all season.

Keselowski has won a series-best six races, Gordon has won four times and led the points most of the season, and both showed the intensity of this new elimination-style Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with a pit road

brawl last week that left both former champions bloodied.

A disappointed Gordon said the ontrack aggression and off-track intensity at Homestead will make Texas and the last month of racing look tame.

“If it was that ugly the past few weeks, it’s going to be real ugly next week,” Gordon said.

There were no fights following this race, but it was still intense as the championship field flipped and flopped with every lap. The most shocking change came after Gordon had crossed the finish line in second behind Harvick and thought he was in. Instead, Ryan Newman, needed one more position to bump Gordon out of the final four. He ran Kyle Larson high up the track to get the rookie

out of his way to claim an 11th-place finish that put Newman in the Chase.

“I didn’t take him out,” Newman said. “In a day or two, he’ll understand. It’s hard to rationalize that, but I did what I had to do. I don’t like racing that way.”

Gordon wound up missing the final by one point to Newman. He was tied with Harvick in the standings, but Harvick earned the automatic berth for his victory.

“That’s the system we have,” Gordon said. “I mean, I could have taken out Harvick, too, to make it in. But I didn’t.”

Also eliminated Sunday were Matt Kenseth, who finished third, Keselowski, who needed to win to make it in but finished fourth, and Carl Ed-

wards, who was 15th.

What everyone else knew all weekend was that Harvick probably had the field covered.

His win Sunday was his fourth of the season in his No. 4 Chevrolet and reaffirmed that he’s very difficult to beat at Phoenix. Harvick swept the season here, has won four of the last five races and the last three fall races.

His competitors next Sunday all had to sweat it out to make it into the finale.

Newman needed the last-lap pass, while Hamlin and Logano both had issues early in the race that forced them to come back from a lap down and then drive through the field.

Hamlin finished fifth and Logano sixth
