DAR welcomes new member Page 2A

By Bob Eschliman Daily News Editor Edna Van Zee of Newton was among a group of new and previously honored centenarians who attended this year’s Centenarian Honors Celebration Luncheon in Ames.

The Newton resident received a certificate of honor at the event held this week at the Scheman Building on the Iowa State University campus.

Both Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds were in attendance to honor the centenarians

who were there.

“It was an honor to meet Edna and hear about the life she has lived for over a century,” Branstad said. “It is always a pleasure to recognize Iowa’s centenarians and celebrate the many contributions they have made to enrich our way of life in our great state.”

Reynolds added, “These hard working and dedicated citizens helped pave the way for the rest of us and it is an honor to celebrate their lives.”

This year’s celebration was held in conjunction

with the Iowa Department on Aging’s Independent Living Conference. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the latest initiatives, best practices, innovative products and services to help Iowa’s older adults and persons with disabilities live as healthy and independent as possible in their communities.

Those who know of an Iowan who is, or will be, 100 years old in the coming year are encouraged to contact the Iowa Department on Aging toll-free at 1-800-532-3213.

The Newton Senior High School Drama Department is getting everyone in the holiday spirit with a double feature fall production of “The First Thanksgiving According to Dwayne” and “The Little Town of Christmas.”

Both plays are by Pat Cook. The showings are scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with “The First Thanksgiving According to Dwayne” showing first.

Residential accessory buildings have become a hot topic for the Newton Planning & Zoning Commission in recent months, and a recent zoning appeal brought the need for further discussion to light.

The commission wants the public’s input on the topic, and is going to provide citizens with “a seat at the table.” It has modified its normal meeting style to a roundtable discussion when it meets 5 p.m. Tuesday.

The topic will be residential accessory buildings.

The commission meets in the Newton City Hall Council Chambers. Those who have questions should contact Director of Planning & Zoning Erin Chambers at (641) 792-0827, ext. 25, or at erinc@newtongov. org via email.

Established in 1983, The Sully Foundation is a non-profit organization with the purpose of improving the quality of life through community betterment.

Now, it’s working on a two-year plan to revitalize the heart of its community, Sully Central Park. Recently, that plan was named one of 10 projects in the final round of voting for a portion of $3,500 in grant funding from Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company.

Working Together, Making It Better recognizes the efforts of those people working hard across rural communities to make them vibrant. Their efforts make their communities better.

A Newton man has been charged with second-degree burglary in connection with a September burglary in Muscatine.

Paul Bell, 45, of Davenport is alleged to have broken into the home of Robert and Ruth Adams on Sept. 23 and stole $160 in cash, debit cards and a .22 caliber handgun.

The couple was asleep at the time of the burglary.

Newton police arrested Bell on a Muscatine County warrant for second-degree burglary after stopping him at 8:02 p.m. Sunday in the 600 block of East 12th Street North for having an inoperable third brake light.

Bell was cited for no insurance, given a warning for the brake light and taken to the Jasper County Jail to await transport to Muscatine.

Second-degree burglary is a Class C felony. As of press time, Bell remained in the Muscatine County Jail on $10,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Kelley reminds residents of heating assistance program Special to the Daily News

Working Together, Making It Better is Grinnell Mutual’s way of celebrating community collaboration and recognizing innovative community projects.

“Anyone can vote for a project,” Director of Advertising and Community Relations Barb Baker said. “Each vote on Grinnell Mutual’s Facebook page will help decide which projects will receive grants through Working Together, Making It Better.”

Grinnell Mutual invites the public to vote for its favorite community project finalist on Facebook at www. facebook.com/myGrinnellMutual.

Voting is now open until Tuesday, Nov. 26.

State Rep. Dan Kelley of Newton is reminding Iowans who need assistance with home heating costs this winter to apply for financial assistance from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

“With cold weather now approaching, many families are struggling to make ends meet and need some assistance to help pay for their energy costs. No Iowan should have to choose between providing food for their family or keeping their home warm,” Kelley said. “This is also a great opportunity for families to make energy efficiency improvements to their home and save money while conserving energy.”

Altoona’s Facebook data center to run on wind power ALTOONA (AP) — Facebook says its new data center in Altoona will operate completely on electricity generated by wind when it starts up in 2015.

California-based Facebook is building a $300 million data center in Altoona, a project that is expected to expand to an investment of nearly $1 billion when completed.

The company says in a statement Wednesday power will come from a new wind project in Wellsburg it helped develop as it was finalizing plans for the data center. One of the reasons the company says it chose Altoona was the potential to run the new center on wind energy.

Last week MidAmerican Energy announced it had purchased the Wellsburg wind project which will generate 138 megawatts of power, more Facebook needs for the new data center.

Nov. 9, 2013 Glenn J. Woody, 86, of Newton died Saturday, Nov. 9, 2013.

A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 30, at the Newton Community of Christ Church, 1805 S. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton. Arrangements are being handled by Speaks Suburban Chapel, (816) 373-3600.

Woman gets prison time for Social Security theft COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — An Iowa woman has been sentenced to six months in prison for stealing Social Security benefits that the agency mistakenly paid to a dead person for 11 years.

Marlene Moore of Glenwood will also serve six months of home confinement after her release under the sentence issued Tuesday by U.S. District Judge John Jarvey.

Prosecutors say the Social Security Administration was never notified that a beneficiary died in 2001, and kept sending monthly checks of roughly $1,300 until 2012.

Moore had access to the unidentified beneficiary’s bank account and used the money to pay for personal expenses.

In all, she took nearly $165,000 from the account. She pleaded guilty in July to theft.

Prosecutors say Moore used the money to live beyond her means, buying a second house and cars.

The Hometown Kid

‘Tis the Season I can’t believe it has been a week since I have started working here at the Daily News.

It’s without a doubt been nearly the quickest week in my life, but without a doubt the most fun.

I just got off the phone with my sister, making

By Zach Johnson holiday plans for Staff Writer the birthday of my nephew and Thanksgiving. I know going to the big city to visit family will be filled with

questions like, “How was your first week?” along with numerous stories and highlights from this past week.

This week’s Veterans Day celebration at VFW Post 1655 in Newton was a chance to see local veterans, reunite with old friends and make new ones with Rep. Dave Loebsack and his team. I had a chance to go back to my past, as well, visiting my first elementary school to find that many of the teachers I had when I was in school are still there.

I also wanted to take the time to thank all those who have served our great country, giving us at the Daily News the freedom to do what we do.

The introductions of city and

school officials along with the congratulations of those who I have had the chance to call friends.

The huge highlight to my week was covering the one-year anniversary of the Paul and Dawn Bleeker’s ownership of the Capitol II Theatre in downtown Newton.

I was able to take part in preparing the theater for the re-opening day.

The memories built in that one year are what have made me strive to do more for the community.

As I prepare to travel this weekend, I will love being with family, enjoying a nice Hot-n-Ready Pizza and crazy bread from Little Caesars, and getting some rest to be ready for Monday. The

community response has been overwhelming for me and its because of my friends and members of the community that make coming to work every day amazing.

The one who has inspired me to write will be celebrating a milestone birthday. My grandmother Ramona Lynam, who worked as a writer for the Corning Free Press, will be turning 70 years old next week. I am sure I will be in trouble for what I said, but just a special way to tell her I love her and thanks for keeping on me to write stories, and shoot pictures.

Enjoy the season no matter if it’s just the holidays or the constant stream of family events.

A View from the Left

Cancellation Politics Really?

Look, I’ve done my best to support the poorly nicknamed “Obamacare.” Funny, we don’t have Roosevelt Security or Johnson Care, but that’s another column.

These cancellations were 100 percent

By Susan Estrich predictable.

Creators Syndicate Honestly, they were more than predictable; they were required.

Absent Obamacare, there is no guarantee that you get to keep your insurance. Individual policies, the kind that are getting canceled, tend to be one-year deals. They are subject to cancellation. Period. So that’s not the president’s fault, and he never should have suggested that Obamacare would stop the practice.

But Obamacare doesn’t just leave the status quo intact. It establishes minimum requirements for health insurance policies, expanding the coverage people get (whether they want it or not). Many of the canceled policies were cheaper than the new ones because they covered less — less than the law now requires and less than any insurer would provide without charging more.

So, if you had one of those cheap policies that only covered you in the event of a catastrophe, with high deductibles, no preventive care, no pregnancy coverage, no prescription drugs, if you had a cheap policy that provided minimal benefits and you were happy with it, then guess what?

You were going to lose your policy.

No rocket science required.

Of course, the answer is: But now you will get a better policy, and you

Dan Goetz Publisher Mandi Lamb Associate Editor

might even get a subsidy to help you pay for it. And that is a very good thing — if you get sick. If you don’t get sick, it just means you pay more.

That’s why people are angry. They don’t plan to get sick, and they don’t want to pay more.

Again, guess what? Many of those people who don’t plan to get sick are actually right. That’s because they’re young and healthy right now. And the reason they need to sign up for policies that are more expensive than they want (and likely need) is precisely because they aren’t going to get sick and require expensive health care. But some of us (older and sicker) are, and so we need them to subsidize us.

That is how the system works.

People who don’t get in accidents subsidize people who do. People who don’t get sick subsidize people who do. If you get rid of the exclusions for pre-existing conditions (which is certainly very good for anyone with pre-existing conditions), then you need a whole lot of healthy people to subsidize the sick people who otherwise would either not get coverage or have to pay a large fortune for it.

I’m not saying President Obama was wrong to insist that everyone get better coverage. Actually, I think it’s a good idea. One way or another, all of us end up paying for the people who didn’t plan to get sick but did.

Prevention is a good thing.

The problem is the president had to know, when he told people they could keep their policies, he wasn’t including the people who had cheap plans that didn’t cover as much as the new law requires. So why did he say otherwise?

This is a mess of the administration’s own making, and for all the talk about fixes, it’s not the least bit clear that it can be fixed.

A View from the Right

An old ‘new’ program Like so many things that seem new, ObamaCare is in many ways old wine in new bottles.

For example, when confronted with the fact that millions of Americans stand to lose their existing medical insurance, as a result of ObamaCare, defenders of By Thomas Sowell Creators Syndicate ObamaCare say that this is true only when those people have “substandard” insurance.

Who decides what is “substandard”? What is older than the idea that some exalted elite know what is good for us better than we know ourselves? Obama uses the rhetoric of going “forward,” but he is in fact going backward to an age when despots told everybody what they had better do and better not do.

Insurance is an institution for dealing with risks. It is a costly and counterproductive way to pay for things that are not risks — such as annual checkups, which are known in advance to occur every year.

Your annual checkup does not cost any less because it is covered by insurance. In fact it costs more, because the person who is insured must pay premiums that cover not only the cost of the checkup itself, but also the costs of insurance company paperwork.

Different people have different risks and different willingness to take care of risks themselves, instead of paying to have them transferred to an insurance company. But politicians in state after state have mandated what must be covered by insurance, regardless of what policy-

holders and insurance companies might agree on if left free to make their own choices.

That has made it impossible to get less expensive insurance that covers only costly but rare medical problems.

Politicians love to play Santa Claus by handing out favors to voters, while depicting insurance companies as Scrooge when they raise insurance premiums to cover the costs of government mandates.

“Single payer” — in any context — means a government monopoly that virtually guarantees worse service. Why would anyone want that for something as crucial as medical care?

One reason, of course, is the ever seductive illusion of something for nothing, an illusion spread by glib politicians, posing as saviors of the public against villains in the private sector.

Yet another way in which ObamaCare is an old political story is that it began as supposedly a way to deal with the problem of a segment of the population — those without health insurance.

But, instead of directly helping those particular people to get insurance, the “solution” was to expand the government’s power over everybody, including people who already had health insurance that they wanted to keep.

Since there has never been a society of human beings without at least some segment with some problem, this is a formula for a never-ending expansion of government power.

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are all on record as believing in a “single payer” system.

Even the current and future problems of ObamaCare can help them to reach that goal.

Bullied classmate is surprised by apologies, hugs at reunion DEAR ABBY: I’m writing regarding “Lost for Words” ( July 7), who skipped her 10-year high school reunion because she was bullied in school. (She is now receiving Facebook messages from former classmates who want to apologize.)

That letter could have been about me! I was bullied all through school, too. Things were so bad I honestly don’t know how I kept it together. I never even told my parents how bad it was until years after I had graduated.

My class (1972) had their 10-year reunion and I went, although I almost didn’t because I was scared. When I got there, I was given hugs by classmates.

Some of them apologized, and it was wonderful. I enjoyed myself so much that I helped organize our 20th and 25th reunions.

“Lost,” you can either keep reliving those painful moments and continue to suffer, or rise above it, prove to your classmates and yourself that they can’t hurt you anymore and get to know each other now as peers.

Counseling helped me to learn to deal with bad things in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I still have some issues and life isn’t always easy, but I have learned to let go and forgive these people. They, too, have grown up and are now mature adults who know right from wrong. — CATHY IN ESTERHAZY, CANADA DEAR CATHY: Thank you for sharing your experience and insights along with many other readers who were bullied in school. One common denominator in their letters was the word “forgiveness.” Interestingly, I received none from the bullies themselves! Read on: DEAR ABBY: As middle school teachers, we do our best to curtail abuse, but it happens behind the scenes. The targets can remain bullied for years, as the writer expressed. It is sad that this person is affected to this day, 10 years after graduation.

I agree the target has no obligation to forgive the bullies, but this would be a perfect time to send a strong message to them via her Facebook page. An article on the effects of bullying could be posted with a message that if the bullies truly want forgiveness, they should pass

this life lesson on to their children who may be engaged in similar behavior. — MARY ANN IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: When I attended my 10th reunion, the people who had bullied me apologized and I told them I forgave them. I just attended my 30th reunion, and some of the same bullies asked again for my forgiveness. They are in a self-imposed prison of guilt from which they will be free only when they can ACCEPT that I forgive them. My advice to “Lost” is to respond to the Facebook messages with a thank-you, and leave it at that. — DAWNA IN MONTANA DEAR ABBY: Three years ago, I went to my 50th. It was the only reunion I ever attended. Halfway through the event, the “bully brigade” came up to me to apologize for their behavior. I hadn’t thought about it and was having a great time. But suddenly, I was emotionally thrown back into those years of hating school because of how I was treated.

On my way out, I confronted the worst bully. I told her her apology was NOT accepted, and they could all keep their apologies and hold onto their guilt for another 50 years. The minute I said it, it was like a great burden had been lifted from my shoulders. — ANNE IN OHIO DEAR ABBY: I was a late bloomer.

When the time came for my 30th reunion, I was a successful, confident millionaire with a knockout blond wife, and I looked years younger than my age. My classmates were bald, wrinkled or saggy.

There was no 40th reunion — they had all given up. Living well really IS the best revenge. — HAPPY IN THE SOUTH

Cooking with sugar substitute

By Deb Nilles Skiff Medical Center For people with diabetes, replacing the sugar in recipes with a sugar substitute can be a good strategy to control blood glucose levels. With the holiday season right around the corner, trimming sources of added sugar is especially helpful.

In spite of what appears on the internet, all sugar substitutes sold in grocery stores today are on the Food and Drug Administration’s Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list. The four most popular sugar substitutes – saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, and stevia – can all be used to reduce added sugar in a diabetic meal plan. Since they each have a different flavor profile, experiment with finding a sugar substitute you like. While a healthy diabetic diet can include some regular sugar, using a sugar substitute will allow the majority of carbohydrates to come from whole grains, fruits, and dairy foods that also provide important nutrients.

Replacing sugar works best in recipes where sugar’s primary role is for flavoring and sweetening. These include fruit pie fillings, (such as apple pie), fruit sauces (such as

cranberry sauce), or beverages (such as punch, hot cocoa or eggnog).

Simply replacing regular sugar for an equal amount of sugar substitute will work well without interfering with the look or flavor of the finished product.

If you decide to explore sugar substitutes in baking, there are a few important things to know. First, is the role sugar plays in baked goods.

In addition to sweetness, regular sugar provides physical properties such as bulk, structure, moisture, tenderness, and browning. Due to these properties, replacing sugar in baked goods can be tricky. Here are some tips to make sure your revised recipes are a hit.

Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for every ½ cup of sugar substitute used in a recipe to enhance flavor.

Flatten cookie dough before baking by gently pressing the dough with your palm. Sugar substitutes don’t allow cookies to spread as they cook.

Use cold brewed coffee in place of some of the liquid in chocolate flavored recipes to enrich the chocolate flavor.

Sugar retains moisture which increases keeping quality so baked products with the sugar removed will not keep as long.

The cooking time of baked goods is shorter when sugar substitutes are used. Set your timer for a 5-10 minute shorter baking time to check for doneness.

Realize that baked goods made with sugar substitutes will have a different appearance. Cakes, muffins and quick breads will have lower volume and they may be lighter in color because of the absence of sugar.

Some brands offer pre-made blends of regular sugar and sugar substitutes. These blends are meant to be used in baking and yield high quality products. Read the instructions for substituting these blends for sugar. Sometimes they are not a one-to-one substitution. And remember that these blends still have carbohydrates that need to be considered when meal planning because they are half regular sugar.

Another option is to replace only half the sugar in a recipe with sugar substitute and leaving some sugar to improve the texture and browning.

For more detailed information on cooking and baking with different sugar substitutes, visit the manufacturer’s website where you’ll also find recipes especially formulated for their product.

Doctors are told to get serious about obesity ATLANTA (AP) — Next time you go for a checkup, don’t be surprised if your doctor gets on your case about your weight.

The medical profession has issued new guidelines for fighting the nation’s obesity epidemic, and they urge physicians to be a lot more aggressive about helping patients drop those extra pounds.

Doctors should calculate your body mass index, a weight-to-height ratio. And if you need to lose weight, they should come up with a plan and send you for counseling.

“We recognize that telling patients to lose weight is not enough,” said Dr. Donna Ryan, co-chair of the guidelines committee.

The good news? By next year, most insurance companies are expected to cover counseling and other obesity treatments, following in the steps of the Medicare program, which began paying for one-on-one help last year.

More than a third of U.S. adults are obese, and that’s been the case since the middle of the last decade. Officials define someone with a BMI of 30 or higher as obese. A 5-foot-9 person would be obese at 203 pounds.

Doctors are well aware

that excess weight can trigger diabetes and lead to heart disease and other health problems. Yet surveys have shown that only about a third of obese patients recall their doctor talking to them about their BMI or counseling them about weight loss.

The guidelines were released this week by a group of medical organizations that include the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and the Obesity Society.

They come amid a spate of important developments in the fight against obesity.

Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved two more obesity-fighting drugs.

And this year, the AMA labeled obesity a disease, a measure intended to get doctors to pay more attention to the problem and prod more insurers to pay for treatments.

Yet many people have been on their own when it comes to slimming down, left to sift through the myriad diets and exercise schemes that are promoted for weight loss.

And most doctors have little training in how to help their obese patients, other than telling them it’s a problem and they need to do something

about it.

“I feel for these guys,” said Dr. Tim Church, a researcher at Louisiana State University’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center. “They have patients who come in and ask them about the latest fad diet. They’re not trained in this stuff and they’re not comfortable” recommending particular diets or weight-loss plans.

The guidelines advise doctors to: — At least once year, calculate patients’ BMI, measure their waists and tell them if they are overweight or obese.

— Develop a weightloss plan that includes exercise and moderate calorie-cutting.

— Consider recommending weight-loss surgery for patients with a BMI of 40 or for those with a BMI of 35 who also have two other risk factors for heart disease such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

— Refer overweight and obese patients who are headed for heart problems to weight-loss programs.

Specifically, discuss enrolling them in at least 14 face-to-face counseling sessions over six months with a registered dietitian, psychologist or other professional with training in weight

management.

Web or phone-based counseling sessions are considered a less effective option.

Donna LeBlanc said the new guidelines are overdue.

More than year ago, the Baton Rouge, La., woman sat down with her longtime family doctor to talk about her weight and get a referral for some kind of help. She had tried dieting without success for more than a decade, had high blood pressure and was about to hit a dress size of 20.

She said the doctor smiled and told her: “There’s a lot of programs out there. But really, you just have to eat less.”

“It just devastated me,” LeBlanc recalled. “He was saying, ‘It’s all in your mind.’ I was thinking, ‘If I could do that, don’t you think I would have done it by now?’”

She changed doctors and has lost 40 pounds from her 5-foot-4 frame since May after getting into an intensive Pennington weight-loss program that includes counseling sessions.

Doctors “need to get the message,” ‘’LeBlanc said. “Just telling someone you need to push the plate away is not going to work for everyone.”

US doctors urge wider use of cholesterol drugs For decades, if you asked your doctor what your odds were of suffering a heart attack, the answer would turn on a number: your cholesterol level.

Now the nation’s first new heart disease prevention guidelines in a decade take a very different approach, focusing more broadly on risk and moving away from specific targets for cholesterol.

The guidance offers doctors a new formula for estimating risk that includes age, gender, race and factors such as whether someone smokes.

And for the first time, the guide-

lines take aim at preventing strokes, not just heart attacks. Partly because of that, they set a lower threshold for using medicines to reduce risk.

They recommend using statin drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor, and identify four groups of people they help the most.

The end result: Twice as many Americans — one-third of all adults — would be told to consider taking statins, which lower cholesterol but also reduce heart risks in other ways.

“The emphasis is to try to treat more appropriately,” said Dr. Neil Stone, the Northwestern Univer-

Envelopes Newton

sity doctor who headed the cholesterol guideline panel. “We’re going to give statins to those who are the most likely to benefit.”

Doctors say the new approach will limit how many people are put on statins simply because of a cholesterol number. Yet under the new advice, one-third of U.S. adults — 44 percent of men and 22 percent of women — would meet the threshold to consider taking a statin. Under the current guidelines, statins are recommended for only about 15 percent of adults.

Seven Cardinals receive LHC volleyball honors Three Pella Christian players earn conference awards

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor For eight years, Newton Senior High’s Cardinals have played in the Little Hawkeye Conference. Finally in 2013, the NHS volleyball program netted its first-ever Little Hawkeye Conference championship.

The Cardinals landed seven players on the allconference honors list, released this week. They had two unanimous selections on the first team, along with two more players on the second team and three players garnering honorable mention.

Newton senior Michaela Bleeker and freshman Megan Pressgrove along with Pella Christian senior Lauren Jungling were the unanimous selections to the 2013 All-Little Hawkeye Conference firstteam volleyball squad. Pella Christian junior Becca Gritters also was named to the first team.

Others on the LHC firstteam volleyball squad were Jungling Pella senior Taelor Rempe and sophomore Makenna Bogaard, Dallas Center-Grimes sophomore Selena Nolte and Grinnell seniors Anneliese Wiltfang and Regan Sharp.

Newton seniors Jennifer Ventling and Holly Vander Pol were named to the LHC second team. Pella Christian’s junior Alyssa Starkey was on the second team also.

Newton seniors Kacy CaGritters zett, Amber Karsten and Bailey Beaderstadt received honorable mention from the LHC coaches.

The conference championship came down to the final match of the conference season. Newton upended Pella on Senior Night to net the 2013 LHC title. Both teams finished at 6-1 in the conference. The Cardinals set a school record, Starkey winning 26 matches this season. They were 26-13.

For the second year in a row, Bleeker not only led Newton in kills but was the Little Hawkeye Conference leader with 387 kills.

Bleeker also led the Cardinals with 53 service aces, which was second in the conference and 15th in Class 4A. She went 265-of-296, 89.5 percent, at the service line.

Iowa State women defeat South Dakota

Scherzer

Kershaw

Scherzer, Kershaw easily win Cy Young Awards NEW YORK (AP) — Max Scherzer did most everything on the mound this season — led the majors in wins, started the All-Star game, helped put his team in the playoffs.

Now, the newly minted AL Cy Young Award winner said he will “wait and see” whether he’s returning to the Detroit Tigers next year.

Scherzer went 21-3 and was an easy pick Wednesday as the American League’s top pitcher, drawing 28 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers won the NL Cy Young Award for the second time in three seasons, coming within one vote of a unanimous selection.

Scherzer — like Kershaw — can become a free agent after the 2014 season, and the Tigers are trying to figure out if they can afford him along with all their other stars such as Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and Justin Verlander.

That’s prompted talk they might trade Scherzer before opening day.

“I love it here in Detroit,” Scherzer said on a conference call. “Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this?”

“The business side will take care of itself,” he said. “It really depends on what Detroit wants to do.”

Scherzer and agent Scott Boras said they’re open to talking to the Tigers about an extension.

Scherzer lost only three times this season and

was the lone 20-game winner in baseball. He ranked second in the majors with 240 strikeouts and was fifth in the AL with a 2.90 ERA. The 29-year-old righty smiled and raised both arms Wednesday when the Cy Young results were announced.

Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers was second, marking the highest finish by a Japanese-born pitcher in Cy Young voting. Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners came in third.

Texas is the only AL team that’s never won a Cy Young Award.

Detroit’s Anibal Sanchez was fourth and Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox was fifth.

They each got a first-place vote.

Kershaw won his second prize as the National League’s best pitcher after posting a 1.83 ERA — lowest in the majors in 13 years.

“This is such a cool thing. I can’t even explain what it means to me,” he said in an interview on MLB Network. “It really is a huge honor.”

The 25-year-old lefty with a big-breaking curve drew 29 of 30 first-place votes. Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals was picked first on one ballot and finished second.

Kershaw went 16-9 and topped the NL with 232 strikeouts. He also won the Cy Young Award in 2011 and finished second last year to knuckleballer R.A. Dickey.

Darvish gets a $200,000 bonus and a $1 million raise to $11 million next season. Wainwright gets a $100,000 bonus and Sale gets $60,000 for finishing fifth.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Hallie Christofferson hit her second double-double of the season, scoring 25 points and nabbing 12 rebounds to lead Iowa State to an 88-72 victory over South Dakota on Wednesday night.

Christofferson sank 7 of 21 from the floor and was perfect from the foul line, hitting 10 of 10. She also had two assists for the Cyclones (2-0).

Guard Nicky Moody scored 20 points with four rebounds, seven assists and two steals.

Brynn Williamson hit 6 of 9 from the floor and 3 of 9 from Christofferson the 3-point line for a total of 18 points.

The Cyclones overcame South Dakota on a 21-3 run with eight minutes left the second half to seal the victory.

The high scorer for the Coyotes (1-2) was Nicole Seekamp with 21 points and a team-high seven assists. Raeshel Contreras came off the bench to score 15 points for South Dakota.

FSU QB Winston under investigation TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is under investigation in an alleged sexual assault reported nearly a nearly a year ago.

The university and Winston’s attorney confirmed Wednesday that the Tallahassee Police Department is conducting an investigation.

Winston has been spectacular for the No. 2 Seminoles in his first college season and the redshirt freshman is one of the leading contenders for the Heisman Trophy. He has passed for 2,661 yards and 26 touchdowns to help Florida State win its first nine games and move into position for a spot in the BCS national championship game.

Tallahassee Police Department officials refused to answer any questions, although they did release a heavily redacted two-page incident report. The report does not mention Winston by name, but it says the incident took place between 1:30 and 2 a.m. last Dec. 7.

It describes the suspect in the sexual assault case as being between 5-foot-9 and 5-11. Winston is listed by Florida State at 6-4.

Timothy Jansen, a Tallahassee attorney, said Winston hasn’t been interviewed by police. Jansen said that at one point he had believed the matter had been resolved.

Foster has 25 as K-State beats Oral Roberts 71-63 MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Marcus Foster struggled in his college debut, right along with the rest of his Kansas State teammates, so Bruce Weber pulled him aside after a morning shoot-around Wednesday.

“I just told him, ‘Relax. Enjoy it.

Worry about what you can control,’” Weber recalled.

Once he hit his first basket, Foster certainly looked at ease.

He went on to hit four 3-pointers and finished with 25 points, helping the Wildcats bounce back from a humiliating loss to Northern Colorado with a 71-63 victory over Oral Roberts.

“Marcus is a good player. We were

very fortunate to get him,” Weber said.

“We kind of sat back, just laughing, when people didn’t have him in the top 100. We couldn’t figure it out.”

D.J. Johnson added 12 points and Will Spradling 10 for the Wildcats (11), who struggled early on against the Golden Eagles (1-1). They finally found their rhythm early in the second half, then made enough plays in the closing minutes to put them away.

Obi Emegano, a transfer from Western Illinois, scored 24 points to lead Oral Roberts. Utah transfer Shawn Glover scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half.The Golden Eagles, coming off a season-opening win over Tul-

sa, roared to a 16-4 advantage midway through the first 20 minutes. The Wildcats didn’t hit a field goal until there was 13:12 left, and had more turnovers (four) than baskets (three) through the first 12 minutes.

Foster finally hit a 3-pointer to end the Golden Eagles’ opening salvo. He hit another 3 moments later, and wound up scoring 10 of his 16 first-half points during a 14-1 spurt that gave Kansas State an 18-17 lead with 7:17 remaining in the first half.

“I just noticed that our team was looking sluggish,” Foster said. “I’m a pretty good scorer, so I took it upon myself to get my team going. It got every-

body going.”

Glover got hot late in the second half, scoring 10 of the Golden Eagles’ 12 points during one lengthy stretch. And when Spradling missed a pair of foul shots and Nino Williams missed an open shot inside, Oral Roberts had a chance to trim into a 59-53 deficit.

Oral Roberts made one last charge, closing within 62-57 on Korey Billbury’s 3-pointer with 3:15 left. But Spradling showed some senior resilience by knocking down a pair of foul shots, and then feeding Foster on a runout for an easy dunk that helped put the game away.

Volleyball: Six athletes receive honorable mention Continued from Page 1B

Dustin Turner/Daily News PCM’s Abbi Gilson reaches for a ball during the Mustangs’ regional match at Bondurant-Farrar in October. Gilson led the Mustangs in kills and was named to the HOI’s secondteam all-conference.

in the past five seasons. She swatted 195 kills for the Raiders, placing her 10th overall in the conference.

Haupert also landed 153 serves for 23 aces. Her 55 blocks placed her ninth in the HOI. Gilson wrapped up her career as a Mustang with a strong season on the court. She placed 12th in blocks with 43. Gilson also had 30 set assists, 151 kills, and her 36 aces were good for a top-20 performance in the conference. She landed 196 of 207 serve attempts for a 90 percent accuracy rating.

Jade Lewis and Anna Baldwin landed on the honorable mention list for the Tigerhawks. Both seniors, Baldwin and Lewis served the team in different capacities.

Lewis led the Tigerhawks with 150 kills, while Baldwin was tops in assists with 172.

The girls went 1-2 on the team in aces. Lewis put away 42 aces, and Baldwin was second with 39. Lewis led the team with 18 blocks.

For the Raiders, Abbey Applegate and McKenzie Schmitz both landed on the honorable mention team. Applegate finished third among Raider players with 57 kills.

She was most effective from the service line, landing almost 92 percent of her 276 serve attempts and leading the squad with 53 aces.

Schmitz’ role was best described as the point guard of the team, setting up her teammates with set assists. She had 356 assists on the year, placing fourth overall in what has been regarded as a very competitive conference for volleyball.

PCM senior Lexi Kain and junior Courtney Van Houweling each earned a sport on the honorable mention team. Kain was right behind the team-leader Gilson with 135 kills. She also landed 90 percent of her serve attempts for

11 aces. Kain’s 159 digs placed her second among Mustangs. She was third on the team with 14 blocks.

Van Houweling will likely shoulder more of a load of the hitting next season following a strong junior year and the departures of Kain and Gilson.

Van Houweling was third on the team with 101 kills. She landed 91 percent of her service attempts, scoring 16 ace serves.

Van Houweling also had 113 digs and nine blocks.

Dustin Turner/Daily News CMB senior Abbie Haupert digs a ball out for the Raiders in a match earlier in the fall season. Haupert was named to the second-team all-conference for her efforts on the court.

Contrary to what we learn in the movies, romantic love isn’t for everyone. There are those who place a higher value elsewhere: spiritual development, artistic mastery, the attainment of wealth and other life purposes. Venus in Capricorn squared off with Uranus in Aries challenges us to honor those with a different life emphasis.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 14). Think of yourself as having plenty of time and freedom. You can afford to experiment, and it makes your life richer and more interesting to do so. New friends next month fit in beautifully with the old. Affections develop fast and run deep. There are windfalls in January and July.

September brings a move.

Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 22, 37 and 41.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Those who have nothing to say but say it anyway will make whimsical connections that over the course of time may prove more meaningful than you might have expected. So listen to everyone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Take time off from that ambitious project you’ve been working on to accomplish a simple, small task. The minor win you experience will give you fresh energy for when you return to your mountainous endeavor tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some believe that giving children too many things robs them of their creativity.

Today it may feel as though you have too many resources to be creative. What would you do if you had less? How would you make due?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Usually, it’s important to make your deal before you start doing the work. But in today’s case, you would be wise to do a small chunk of the work before you make a deal so you better understand all that’s involved in this job.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s better to contribute meaningful, useful work to the world and not be famous than to be famous and make headlines for doing ordinary things

that other people do every day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Maybe it’s because you’ve been so effective at this in the past, but today it’s as though everyone is coming to you with the same imperative: “Make me feel important!”

Rest assured, you’ll get something out of it, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your wonderfully functioning brain has developed a number of ways to help you manage.

Some of those ways no longer suit you, but you are not your brain’s habits! Separate the two and stop feeling guilty, and change will be easier.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Those who think charm is about saying astute, adorable or funny things have it all wrong. You know the secret: Charm is the art of making other people feel pumped up, usually because you listened to them.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There’s something on the table to be won by the person who can make the best case for it. Examine this prize care-

fully, though. It may not be worthwhile. Perhaps the real winner of the argument will be the one who walks away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be unflappable and accepting of others. This takes confidence and is only possible because you feel that if you really need to defend yourself, it will be easy for you to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

If you want your time and attention to be your own today, try to listen for where conversations are headed and get out while the getting’s good.

Otherwise, you’ll be on the receiving end of a long, boring story about nothing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

In days of old, life was hard until it got harder. Children worked, everyone struggled to eat, and life was a daily battle.

Comparatively, life now is pretty good for a lot of people.

That’s why you don’t feel inclined to put up with whining in any form.
