Two women killed in Saturday crash

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Winter weather has arrived and with the snow and ice come slick roads and stalled vehicles like this on Interstate 80 near Newton. Extra caution is suggested while traveling on the interstate as well as city streets.

Winter road conditions challenging for motorists

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Thanks to a weekend snow storm, roads from interstates to city streets are covered in snow and ice. Before even heading out in your vehicle, local authorities are urging motorists to be sure to remember some winter driving basics.

As the cold sets in, check the tires on your vehicle and have it prepped at your local body shop for winter driving. Make sure an oil change is up to date, as well as all other liquids. If you know a storm is coming, try to make grocery trips to prepare before the first signs start appearing and prioritize how important venturing out in the weather is.

“If it isn’t necessarily a priority, people should stay in for their safety as well as other people’s safety,” said Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich.

If you must drive during a snow storm, or for the first time you venture out after snow has fallen, prepare your vehicle for the trip. Also, tell another person where you are going and when to expect your arrival.

“One of the big problems that we see is people taking off and they don’t scrape off their windows and there is still ice there,” Hoebelheinrich said.

He suggested giving your car plenty of time to warm up, which helps what is under the hood as well as defrosting the windows.

Do not start driving until the entire windshield and side windows are cleared off. Clear vision while driving on unpredictable roads can help prevent unnecessary fender benders.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty added that checking the weather conditions before leaving will help prepare for a long or short trip.

“The road conditions can change in a second. They can be completely dry and no problem and then within the next mile they could have black ice, snow and it could cause them to lose control,” Halferty said.

Hoebelheinrich said that with roads not in optimal condition, expect to take longer to get to your destination. Add a few minutes to your commute to make sure you arrive safely and on time.

“You should be slower coming up to stop lights because if they turn you don’t have as much reaction time and you’ll slide right through intersection,” Hoebelheinrich said.

Because of snow and ice, it is harder to stop approching to an intersection, and even if you do slide through a stop sign because of ice, you could still be cited for a traffic violation.

Iowa readies for second health enrollment period The Associated Press DES MOINES — It’s sign-up time again for people looking to buy medical insurance under Presid e n t Barack Obama’s health c a r e overGold haul.

The second enrollment period to get benefits started Saturday and runs through Feb. 15. Last year, the enrollment period was stymied by a poorly functioning website and widespread public confusion, and officials have worked to improve the site so it functions better during a crush of visitors.

“This is the time when everybody puts their new products on the line, best prices on the line,” said Cliff Gold, chief executive officer of CoOportunity Health, a federally funded nonprofit established to provide health care in Iowa and Nebraska. “There are deals for people. There are opportunities for people.”

The health care law was designed to reduce the number of people without health insurance, both through an expansion of Medicaid and with new health care marketplaces where people can shop for private coverage and apply for government aid to pay premiums.

Just over 29,000 people signed up for health insurance in Iowa using

the federal insurance marketplace during the first enrollment period. Another roughly 113,000 people are enrolled in Iowa’s modified Medicaid expansion, a federally funded program that enrolls some people in a staterun health plan, while others get premiums covered for private insurance.

Iowa Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart said the state hasn’t analyzed whether the number of uninsured people has declined, though he noted that Iowa had a relatively high rate of insurance coverage — roughly 90 percent — to being with.

In the second year of enrollment, Gerhart said the state is offering some educational outreach and several medical organizations are helping enroll people.

While there were some complaints early on, with people reporting they were not getting their insurance cards or wondering what the plans covered, Gerhart said overall he has heard few concerns.

Trish McMullin, 60, of Des Moines, said she was able to afford insurance for the first time in about seven years thanks to the health care law.

She qualified for subsidies to buy a plan and could schedule tests she had been putting off, like a colonoscopy. “(I feel) relief, peace of mind,” said McMullin, who will again apply for insurance for 2015 but doesn’t know the specific plan she’ll buy ENROLLMENT | 3A

In Brief

Newton KOA receives president’s award

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jeff Conn, owner, JoAnna Ellis, bar manager, and managers Tyler Rausch and Brandon Dunkerson, manager plan to celebrate Okoboji’s 10 year anniversary with a party Thursday.

Okoboji celebrating 10 years in business

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Boji family. That is how Jeff Conn, owner of Okoboji American Grill in Newton describes his employees and customers after 10 years. Okoboji will be celebrating its 10 year anniversary with a party from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday with drink specials, free appetizers (while they last), give aways and a gift card special.

“I thought Newton needed a place where you could go out and have a cocktail and get a decent meal and a decent atmosphere,” Conn said of opening the restaurant.

After talking with a business partner, who has since parted ways, the two thought Newton needed some other options for more of a fine dining experience.

Conn worked at Maytag previously and when the opportunity came to switch careers, he jumped on board, having been in the business regularly since he was 17 years old.

The site had already been approved for an Okoboji, but financing and other reasons caused previous ventures to not get off the ground. Conn and his partner designed the building themselves, working towards an upscale dining experience.

While building, they used as many local contractors as they

could including Manatts for the parking lot.

After opening, Conn had his share of successes while struggling like a lot of businesses when Maytag went out of business as well as during the economic downturn. He credits those he works with most for making it through the hard years.

“Thanks to a good customer base, good employees, good management staff,” Conn said.

Fourteen of those employees who started in the first year are still with him 10 years later, which is pretty uncommon in the high turn over restaurant business. In total, Okoboji employs 50 to 65 people depending on the season.

The menu has the same base items of the franchise, but varies quite a bit with what they call “Newton favorites.” Being in a different market than Des Moines, Conn has more streak and seafood options as well as homemade soup for his customer base.

“We know this is a place that people come out for an anniversary or birthday party, it’s not just go watch a football game type of place,” Conn said.

Another popular addition has been the lunch menu. Started about four years ago, the abbreviated menu gives customers an affordable option with a full

meal and drink that gets changed up every couple of weeks.

The Iowa Speedway has brought many celebrities to the restaurant including Rusty Wallace and Kasey Kahne, but they most memorable was Kiss front man Gene Simmons.

“Gene Simmons was in town and his publicist called out here and wanted a reservation. My wife doesn’t follow the music and the guy said we need a table for Gene Simmons and she said well we are really busy right now I’m not sure if we can get you in. He’s like well this if for Gene Simmons, we need a place to eat and she said well I don’t care who you are we are really busy,” Conn said.

After hanging up, she went back to talk with other employees and found out that it was the Gene Simmons of the band Kiss, not just a regular joe calling for a reservation. They were able to call them back and Simmons dined at the restaurant, signing autographs and taking pictures with anyone who asked.

Conn hopes for many more years at the restaurant that he has seen grow and change over the past 10 years.

“We’re like a big family here.”

BILLINGS, Mont. — The Newton KOA Campground has been awarded the 2015 KOA President’s Award by Kampgrounds of America, the world’s largest system of family-friendly campgrounds. The award was presented Nov. 14 at KOA’s Annual International Convention in Charleston, South Carolina. KOA is celebrating its 52nd Anniversary in 2014.

Leaders agree on $2 T boost to growth BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Under pressure to jolt the lethargic world economy back to life, leaders of G-20 nations on Sunday finalized a plan to boost global GDP by more than $2 trillion over five years.

vesting in infrastructure, increasing trade and the creation of a global infrastructure hub that would help match potential investors with projects.

Leaders also aim to reduce the gap between male and female participation in the workforce by 25 percent by 2025, saying that would put 100 million more women in employment and reduce poverty.

Speaking at the end of the summit, Australia’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott said countries will hold each other to account by monitoring implementation of their commitments to boost growth.

The group said the International Monetary Fund and OECD will also play a role in monitoring progress and estimating the economic benefits of the growth plan.

Local & State News Winter Continued from Page 1A If you are traveling a long distance, stock your vehicle in case of an emergency situation. Hoebelheinrich suggests keeping a flashlight, cell phone charger, extra clothes and coats, as well as blankets in the vehicle at all times through out winter in case of a stalled or ditched vehicle. He also said it is good to travel with a full tank of gas, so if you do end up in the ditch you could stay warm for several hours or overnight. If your car is stuck, do not leave the vehicle because it is the first place rescue will look for you. It may be helpful to keep a bag of sand or litter to help gain traction under the drive tires if trying to get the vehicle free.

While driving, be attentive to officers as well as tow trucks along the side of the road on both the interstate as well as highways and city streets.

“Especially on the interstate, but even in town, if you see a police officer or a tow truck absolutely you need to slow down and get into another lane or the opposite lane. If you are on the interstate it is mandatory that you get into the next lane,” Hoebelheinrich said. “They lose a dozen or so officers and tow truck drivers are killed every year by people getting hit on the interstate.”

Halferty said that it is one of the biggest concerns of law enforcement.

“It’s slow down or move over. It’s extremely dangerous out there and to have motorists who aren’t paying attention to that or not slowing down. We have to spend a lot of our time looking behind us or looking at the oncoming traffic and also worry about whatever we are dealing with,” Halferty said.

YMCA offers Pickleball The Newton YMCA offers Pickleball from 8 to 10:30 a.m. every Tuesday in the small gym. If you love tennis, badminton or other racket sports, you will enjoy Pickleball. A Pickleball Tournament is being planned for January.

Pickleball is when two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer

ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a Badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but quickly became popular among adults as a fun game for players of all skill levels.

From tragedy to triumph

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 17, 2014

A 9-year-old girl with no bed.

A mother evicted following the sudden death of her husband.

A family displaced after a bed bug infestation.

A 61-year-old man living in his car.

A young man, homeless, and on the streets in Newton.

It’s hard to consider the realities of these situations, but they are occurring with regularity in our community. The recently organized Friends in Hope group is finding solutions for people in need and has emerged as a bright spot for a growing number of people facing homelessness and other crises.

Operating under the um-

brella of the Salvation Army, the group of volunteers looks to help those who may not be utilizing existing programs, or don’t have access to those resources. The idea is to offer hope and encouragement to people who have found themselves in a bind.

I was pleased again to hear more about this group’s effort last week during a presentation in which volunteer Rita Baker outlined the simple mission — help people in need — and also gave an important objective.

“We are not to judge other people for their choices. We all have a different story.”

That statement clearly defined for me what Friends in Hope is about. Despite how any of these people in need

wound up in any of these given situations, the bottom line is they are people in need. This group is about offering a helping hand.

Functioning with a pool of volunteer mentors, Friends in Hope offers to help with everything from housing and home furnishing needs to food and clothing. They’ve partnered with the Goodwill Career Center at DMACC for those struggling to find employment. For other needs — transportation and child care, among others — a call for help goes out, oftentimes on its Facebook page.

Baker said there has been times in her life when she’s had a lot, and times when she had a little. Never did she have to worry about whether there was

enough to eat or a roof over her head.

That’s probably true for a lot of us.

It hit home for me. It also reminded me that if we have a gift to share with others — time, food, clothing or just an open ear — perhaps we should be sharing that gift.

I’m not sure what I have to offer to people in need in this community, but I’m going to find out. Sometimes all it takes to turn your life around is to know that someone cares. That’s when tragedy turns into triumph.

For more information about Friends in Hope, contact the Salvation Army at 641-7926431.

Unemployment for the post9/11 veterans is also staggering.

As with all these veterans, local communities must be a part of the mix of post combat problems for vets. Providing health care, suicide prevention, domestic dispute consultation, housing, employment and job training often falls to local governments, agencies or non-profits. These can be overwhelming, unexpected and therefore unplanned local expenditures.

The Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation poll, survey and report issued in March of this year mapped “A Legacy of Pain and Pride.” Our recent wars must alert us to war’s legacies aptly described in this report. Endless pain, endless financial burdens, the endless downsides to war plus the simultaneous pride in serving our country cannot be ignored.

We will always have patriotic soldiers who will fight for us, and for others. We must, now, on this day, consider the future for our patriotic soldiers who will become veterans who face pain and pride. As we reward them in passing with a “thank you for your service,” and they proudly receive medals, we have an obligation and a commitment to them to plan for that pain and plan to pay for it. Maybe that will stop us from sending more into battle if the legacy is not worth the price.

Democracy is definitely better than taking orders from Communist dictators. But real freedom means doing what you choose as an individual, not waiting for the rest of society to vote on whether you can.

In politics, winners get to tell the losers what to do.

In the marketplace, you buy what you want. I buy what I want. If some people want to buy movie tickets while others prefer to buy clothes for their dogs, neither side needs to worry it will lose a struggle over which option is best.

This election, as usual, there was a big push to get people to go out and vote.

Yet most didn’t (more vote in presidential elections, but still less than half the population).

After elections, pundits say, “the people have spoken.” But we haven’t.

Often, we just chose politicians we hated less than others.

I’m glad big-spending Democrats lost Congress.

But In the grand scheme of things, was that vote such a sweeping endorsement of anyone’s political philosophy? The vote, as usual, was pretty close.

Often it feels like America flips a coin.

That sounds cynical, but it’s not just cynics who have doubts about the democratic process.

Economist and law professor Gordon Tullock passed away the day before the election. But had he lived another day, he still wouldn’t have voted last week. He refused to vote, in part because the branch of economics he helped create — “public choice” — helped convince him that people behave just as selfishly and foolishly when they vote as when they make any other kind of decisions, but with more devastating effects on oth-

er people.

At the Cafe Hayek blog, economist Don Boudreaux writes that it’s good if people don’t vote because by avoiding politics they “come to depend more on personal initiative and less on untrustworthy, powercraving strangers.”

Well said.

We don’t suddenly become wiser and nobler when we step into the voting booth. If anything, the decisions we make there are more ignorant and reckless than the ones we make when buying a car.

You probably know more about what kind of car you want than about what sort of laws to impose on your neighbors. It’s another reason why most of life is best left to free individuals.

The left treats markets with contempt and political processes as if they’re sacred. Then, to explain why politics disappoints, they pretend that money sullies politics.

They’re upset because the Supreme Court said money can be spent on ads that inform voters of different factions’ views. It turned out that Democrats were the biggest spenders, but that doesn’t stop them from complaining that evil Republican tycoons used money to manipulate voters who would otherwise have chosen the candidates decent Democrats want them to.

Republicans, meanwhile, get upset if money is used to bet on things.

There once was a wonderful online predictionsmarket called Intrade. It allowed people to bet on future events, including elections.

Intrade’s odds were much more accurate predictions than those made by pundits and pollsters.

That’s because there is wisdom in large numbers, and because Intrade bettors put real money at risk (unlike pundits and water-cooler prognosticators).

But American regulators threatened Intrade with litigation, and the site closed. There’s still another prediction market, based in England, called Betfair, but it’s confusing and not as useful to Americans.

Shutting down Intrade leaves us all less informed and more dependent on the political elite.

New mother’s baby trumps mother-in-law’s wedding

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are pregnant with our first child. We are beyond excited and can’t wait for our little one to get here. Our problem: My mother-in-law is getting married two weeks after our baby is supposed to arrive, and she’s expecting all of us to go.

While I’m happy she has found someone she wants to spend her life with, I will not be there and neither will our child. I have told my husband this and explained my concerns, but I will support him if he decides to go since it’s his mother.

How can I turn her down in a polite way so it doesn’t sound like I’m a horrible daughter-in-law? — FIRSTTIME MAMA DEAR FIRST-TIME MAMA: Unless a woman is having a C-section, babies don’t always arrive on the expected due date. Sometimes they can be a week late — or more. If you feel you need time to rest, recuperate and get your child on a regular nursing schedule, tell that to your mother-inlaw.

As a new mother you are going to have to quickly learn to prioritize, and your child’s well-being and your health must come first. Expect her to be disappointed, but make clear that you love her and wish her a lifetime of happiness, but you will be unable to attend.

DEAR ABBY: Is it OK for an older woman to wear fancy, colorful tights?

My wife is 5 feet tall and weighs 110.

She’s in good health and works out at the gym regularly. She wears her tights there, or when she’s working in the garden or at the market. She dresses conservatively for work and church.

I overheard some of the local ladies say she shouldn’t be wearing leopard tights “at her age.” I’m afraid my wife will overhear it one of these days

and be hurt. What is your opinion?

She still looks wonderful to me. — MARRIED TO A HOTTIE DEAR MARRIED: As an adult — and in good shape — your wife should wear anything that pleases her, including leopard tights if she wishes. It appears the local women are more jealous kitties than ladies.

“Nice” ladies don’t make catty comments behind someone’s back.

DEAR ABBY: On Oct. 11 you printed my letter about feeling like an overlooked middle child. In the comments on your website was an outpouring of support and friendly tips. I am happy to say I am now involved in extracurricular activities.

I’m much happier, and would like to thank all your readers who took the time to give me so much support.

— FORMERLY NOWHERE IN INDIANA DEAR FORMERLY NOWHERE: Thank you for letting us know that you’re happier and doing better. Dear Abby readers are the most caring and generous people in the world. I’m glad their comments in response to your letter gave you the boost you needed to get through a difficult time.

3 Winnebago County may try jail vote a third time

FOREST CITY — Iowa’s state jail inspector thinks Winnebago County should try a third time to persuade voters to approve building a new jail.

Even though voters have rejected a jail bond issue twice in the past year, Jail Inspector Delbery Longley thinks a third attempt would be worthwhile.

Longley said the current jail has serious building code violations, safety concerns and structure issues that could force it to be shut down.

The DeCosters pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce.

Iowa considers new groundwater restrictions DES MOINES — State officials may impose new limits on groundwater use to protect the underground aquifer that supplies drinking water to a half-million Iowans.

Environmental leaders are concerned about the future of the Jordan aquifer that sits beneath most of Iowa because water use continues to grow.

The Iowa Environmental Protection Commission is scheduled to meet Wednesday to discuss requiring additional conservation measures and possibly force some water users to seek other sources of water.

Sledding season arrives

Prosecutors troubled by extent of military fraud The Associated Press

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Frigid temperatures could not keep people away from the sledding hills at Sunset Park after the first snow fall Sunday.

Sage Geffre, pictured, along with his brother Sylas rode their sleds down the hill, sometimes only making it about halfway up before cruising down to the bottom again.

Nebraska hospital: Surgeon with Ebola has died The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — A surgeon who contracted Ebola in his native Sierra Leone died Monday while being treated in a biocontainment unit at a Nebraska hospital, the facility said.

Nebraska Medical Center said in a news release that Dr. Martin Salia died as a result of the disease. Hospital spokesman Taylor Wilson said Salia died shortly after 4 a.m. Monday.

“Dr. Salia was extremely critical when he arrived here, and unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we weren’t able to save him,” said Dr. Phil Smith, medical director of the biocontainment unit.

Salia arrived Saturday to be treated at the Omaha hospital, where two other Ebola patients have been successfully treated.

Salia had advanced symptoms when he arrived at the hospital Saturday, which included kidney and respiratory failure, the hospital said. He was placed on dialysis, a ventilator and given several medications to support his organ systems.

“We used every possible treatment available to give Dr. Salia every possible opportunity for survival,” Smith said. “As we have learned, early treatment with these patients is essential. In Dr. Salia’s case, his disease was already extremely advanced by the time he came here for treatment.”

Salia’s wife, Isatu Salia, said Monday that she and her family were grateful for the efforts made by her husband’s medical team.

“We are so appreciate of the opportunity for my husband to be treated here and believe he was in

the best place possible,” Salia said.

Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Five other doctors in Sierra Leone have contracted Ebola, and all have died.

The 44-year-old Salia had been working as a general surgeon at Kissy United Methodist Hospital in the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown. It’s not clear whether he was involved in the care of Ebola patients. Kissy is not an Ebola treatment unit, but Salia worked in at least three other facilities, United Methodist News said, citing health ministry sources.

Salia, a Sierra Leone citizen who lived in Maryland, first showed Ebola symptoms on Nov. 6 but tested negative for the virus.

He eventually tested positive on Nov. 10.

Cosby won’t address ‘decade-old’ claims The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Bill Cosby will not dignify “decade-old, discredited” claims of sexual abuse with a response, his attorney said Sunday, the first comment from the famed comedian’s lawyer on an increasing uproar over allegations that he assaulted several women in the past.

In a statement released to The Associated Press and posted online, lawyer John P. Schmitt said the fact that the allegations are being re-

peated “does not make them true.”

“He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work,” Schmitt said.

The renewed attention to a dark chapter for Cosby began last month when a comedian, Hannibal Buress, assailed him during a stand-up performance in Philadelphia, Cosby’s hometown, calling him a “rapist.” His remarks were captured on video and posted online, gain-

ing wide exposure.

It was harsh criticism of the veteran entertainer known equally for his charming standup comedy, ethnically groundbreaking 1984-92 NBC TV sitcom “The Cosby Show” and demands for personal responsibility directed at fellow African-Americans.

Adding to the growing firestorm: One of Cosby’s accusers, Barbara Bowman, leveled allegations of sexual assault against him in interviews and in an online column for the Washington Post.

WASHINGTON— Fabian Barrera found a way to make fast cash in the Texas National Guard, earning roughly $181,000 for claiming to have steered 119 potential recruits to join the military. But the bonuses were ill-gotten because the former captain never actually referred any of them.

Barrera’s case, which ended last month with a prison sentence of at least three years, is part of what Justice Department lawyers describe as a recurring pattern of corruption that spans a broad cross section of the military.

In a period when the nation has spent freely to support wars on multiple fronts, prosecutors have found plentiful targets: defendants who bill for services they do not provide, those who steer lucrative contracts to select business partners and those who use bribes to game a vast military enterprise.

Despite numerous cases that have produced long prison sentences, the problems have continued abroad and at home with a frequency that law enforcement officials consider troubling.

“The schemes we see really run the gamut from relatively small bribes paid to somebody in Afghanistan to hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of contracts being steered in the direction of a favored company who’s paying bribes,” Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, head of the Justice Department’s crimi-

nal division, said in an interview.

In the past few months alone, four retired and one active-duty Army National Guard officials were charged in a complex bribery and kickback scheme involving the awarding of contracts for marketing and promotional material, and a trucking company driver pleaded guilty to bribing military base employees in Georgia to obtain freight shipments — often weapons which required satellite tracking — to transport to the West Coast.

More recently, a former contractor for the Navy’s Military Sealift Command, which provides transportation for the service, was sentenced to prison along with a businessman in a bribery case in which cash, a wine refrigerator and other gifts traded hands in exchange for favorable treatment on telecommunications work. Also, three men, including two retired Marine Corps officers, were charged with cheating on a bid proposal for maintenance work involving a helicopter squadron that serves the White House.

Justice Department lawyers say they don’t consider the military more vulnerable to corruption than any other large organization, but that the same elements that can set the stage for malfeasance — including relatively low-paid workers administering lucrative contracts, and heavy reliance on contractorprovided services — also exist in themilitary.

Turnaround season garners all-district honors for Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s football team had quite the turnaround in 2014.

Prior to going 6-4 this past season, the Tigerhawks hadn’t seen a winning record since 2008. And in that season, not even a 5-4 overall mark got them into the playoffs.

And even though the season didn’t end the way the squad wanted, it could be the start of something new for the community.

The turnaround that featured both a winning record and a postseason berth for Colfax-Mingo also garnered the Tigerhawks with 11 honors out of Class A District 7.

Top honors went to juniors Jared Myers, Jake Lietz, Blake Summy and Alan Wheeler, who all landed on the district’s first team. Summy also was voted the District 7 Punter of the Year, while Brady DeJoode was voted Kicker of the Year.

Myers was a firstteam quarterback after throwing for a districbest 2,506 yards and rushing for 678 more.

He tossed a district-high 22 touchdowns, threw 10 picks and collected six more touchdowns on the ground. Myers also led the Tigerhawks in tackles with 101.5.

Lietz made his mark mostly on defense where he finished with 100 tackles (a districthigh 80 solo tackles), 11 tackles for loss, two

Lietz

fumble recoveries and three sacks. He also had 403 receiving yards off 32 catches and four scores, while rushing for 196 yards and two more touchdowns.

Summy was a Jack of all trades for ColfaxMingo. He made the district’s first team as a wide receiver after hauling in a district-high 47 catches and 716 yards as well as five touchdowns, but he also rushed for 41 yards, and had a leaguebest five interceptions on defense. He was the district’s top punter after averaging 35.4 yards per attempt over 37 tries.

Summy’s best punt covered 70 yards and he also returned 12 kickoffs for 308 yards (25.7 per return) and another score.

Wheeler headlined the Tigerhawks’ defensive line, making the first team as a defensive end. He was third on the team with 86 tackles and also had 10 tackles for loss and a team-best five sacks and three fumble recoveries.

DeJoode earned kicker of the year in the district after booting home 28 of his 29 extra-point attempts and connect-

Wheeler

ing on a 30-yard field goal. He also had 44.5 tackles, recovered two fumbles and had a pick on defense while catching a 41-yard TD pass on offense.

Colins Lourens, Jake Buehrer and Jimmy Abell all landed on the district’s second team.

Lourens, a junior, was selected as a defensive end after collecting 52.5 tackles, seven tackles for loss and a sack, while fellow junior Buehrer finished with 68.5 tackles as a linebacker.

Lourens had 19 catches for 294 yards and four touchdowns as a receiver.

Buehrer carried the ball 48 times, gained 160 rushing yards and reached paydirt twice.

As a receiver, Buehrer caught 26 passes for 247 yards.

Abell was one of three seniors to land on an all-district squad for the Tigerhawks. He was a second-team wideout after grabbing 22 catches for 465 yards and six touchdowns. Abell also had four interceptions on defense along with one fumble recovery and 24 tackles and he threw the 41-yard touchdown

DeJoode

pass to DeJoode as well.

The final two selections for the Tigerhawks were senior Chris Warner and junior Michael Deal, who were both selected to the honorable mention squad as offensive linemen.

That duo helped the Tigerhawks score at least 21 points in each of their six wins and played an integral part in Myers finishing with more than 3,000 yards of total offense this season.

Montezuma won the district title with a 7-0 record. Braves coach Tyler Baethke, a former Newton assistant under current head coach Ed Ergenbright, was named District 7 Coach of the Year after guiding the Braves to a 10-1 record.

Tailback Mitch Stevens was voted District 7 Offensive MVP after rushing for 1,671 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Lynnville-Sully senior Noah Zylstra was named the district’s Defensive MVP after collecting 83.5 tackles, 17 solo tackles for loss and five sacks for the Hawks.

Packers pound Eagles The Associated Press It’s heating up in Green Bay. Say what?

Yep, the Packers couldn’t be hotter. Aaron Rodgers passed for 341 yards and three touchdowns, Julius Peppers returned his second interception of the season for a score, and Green Bay’s defense stuffed highoctane Philadelphia for a 53-20 rout.

The Packers (7-3) raced to a 30-6 halftime lead. Green Bay is the first team in NFL history to score at least 28 points in the first half of four consecutive home games.

Rodgers threw for two touchdowns in the first half, while Micah Hyde scored on a 75yard punt return.

“This is not easy,” said Rodgers, who broke Tom Brady’s NFL record of 288

straight passes at home without an interception. “There’s a lot of preparation that goes into it. It takes 11 guys to win, to do the job to make something like that happen.”

Harvick wins at Homestead to claim Sprint Cup title HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Harvick charged through the field, picking off car after car, passing two other title contenders on a series of restarts. As he aggressively chased the victory and his first Sprint Cup title, it was clear that winning did indeed matter most in NASCAR’s new championship formula.

But nothing short of a win was going to get it done on a night in which Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman and Joey Logano all showed up determined to claim their first

career championship.

“You had all the championship guys show up at the front of the pack,” Harvick said. “I was just going to hold the pedal down and hope for the best.”

The four drivers all found themselves racing each other at the front of the field after the sun went down on the 400-mile race.

Hawkeyes batter Illinois with their runnning game CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Running back Mark Weisman ran for 134 yards and Iowa battered Illinois with 587 yards of offense Saturday in a 30-14 win.

The Hawkeyes (7-3, 4-2 Big Ten) ran for a seasonhigh 304 yards. Quarterback Jake Rudock was 14-of-21 for 210 yards and two touchdowns before leaving in the fourth quarter with the game in hand.

Early on, Iowa had to scrounge for points. The Hawkeyes took a 2-0 lead on a first-quarter safety and Illinois’ defense stopped them three times on fourth down to keep the game close. Iowa led 9-7 at the half.

But Iowa’s run game wore Illinois (4-6, 1-5) down and set up 21 second-half points that sealed the game.

Illinois quarterback Wes

Weisman

Lunt played for the first time since breaking his left leg Oct. 4 against Purdue. But he finished a quiet 14-of-25 for 102 yards and one touchdown.

Iowa’s offense Saturday was a steady diet of Weisman broken up only by the occasional big pass play from Rudock or backup C.J. Beathard, who entered the game in the fourth quarter.

Between them the Hawkeye quarterbacks had three completions of 39 yards or longer Midway through the third

quarter, it all started to take its toll on an Illinois defense that had given up big yards but managed to keep the game close.

Rudock capped an 11-play, 71-yard drive with a short toss to tight end Ray Hamilton, who bulled into the end zone through two defenders for a 6-yard touchdown and a 16-7 lead.

From there the dominoes started falling for Iowa and against the Illini.

With 13:41 left, Rudock hammered Illinois again, this time rolling to his left and taking the ball in himself for a 6-yard touchdown and a 23-7 lead.

That was all the Hawkeyes would need.

Coming off a bye week, Illinois’ offense looked less than ready to play.

Lunt hadn’t played in weeks, and two of Illinois’

starting linemen, left tackle Simon Cvijanovich and right guard Ted Karras, were out, too. Both were injured in the loss to Ohio State, and Karras is gone for the season.

The Illini talked in the week leading up the game about the need to run the ball to protect Lunt, but as offensive coordinator Bill Cubit has said all season, the team isn’t built to run.

And it showed.

The Illini ran the ball 25 times for 88 yards, most of before the game got out of hand.

Lunt didn’t face heavy pressure and didn’t take a big hit. But he didn’t throw down field often, either.

Illinois also hurt itself with a series of first-half penalties that cost them field position and, ultimately, led to the safety when Lunt threw the

ball away in his own end zone.

Illinois was flagged eight times for 59 yards. Iowa had just one penalty.

Illini receiver Mike Dudek caught six balls for 80 yards.

He scored both of Illinois’ touchdowns, including a beauty late in the first quarter that gave the Illini a 7-2 lead.

Iowa cornerback Desmond King rang stride for stride with Dudek down the right sideline but the freshman receiver leaned back to give himself just enough space to haul the ball in in the end zone.

The win keeps Iowa within reach of two teams ahead of it in the Big Ten West standings, Wisconsin and Nebraska.

The Hawkeyes close the season with home games against both, starting next Saturday with the Badgers.

Muschamp fired from Florida post GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Despite trying three coordinators and five quarterbacks, Will Muschamp never figured out one side of the ball at Florida. And it cost him his job.

The Gators parted ways with Muschamp on Sunday, one day after a gut-wrenching loss to South Carolina that summed up the former defensive coordinator’s four-year stint as coach.

Muschamp’s closeto-the-vest style proved to be too conservative and too unsuccessful for a program with three national champions, eight Southeastern Conference titles and sky-high expectations.

Niang powers ISU past Oakland AMES (AP) — Iowa State will be junior Georges Niang’s team this year.

Niang didn’t waste time showing the 14th-ranked Cyclones what he can do as their No. 1 option, scoring a careerhigh 30 points with nine rebounds and five assists in their 93-82 victory over Oakland on Friday night UNLV transfer Bryce Dejean-Jones scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in his debut for the Cyclones (1-0), who improved to 5-0 in openers under coach Fred Hoiberg.

Iowa State hosts Georgia State Monday.

The Cyclones built their lead up to as much as 20 after some early struggles and won comfortably behind Niang, who also became the 31st Iowa State player to top 1,000 career points.

“It’s cool to score 1,000 points. I mean, it’s a minor accomplishment (compared) to what I want to do with this

team,” Niang said.

Corey Petros had 25 points and Kahlil Felder scored 23 for Oakland (0-1), which was picked seventh in the preseason Horizon League Niang poll.

Iowa State’s offense clicked from the opening tip. However, the defense took a bit longer to get going.

The Cyclones shot 50 percent in the first half. But they couldn’t string together enough stops to get a significant run going, and Oakland was able to pull even at 38-all just before halftime behind strong starts from Petros and Felder.

Iowa State closed the half with a 7-0 run though, and Dejean-Jones gave the Cyclones their first double-digit lead, 5141, with 16:13 left.

Niang then found Dejean-

Jones for an alley-oop — a sight Hoiberg will certainly like to see more of this season.

Dejean-Jones finished with the first double-double of his career, and he added four assists.

“I thought he was very aggressive going to the hole,” Hoiberg said of Dejean-Jones.

“He’s so athletic. He’s so gifted.

We didn’t run a lot for Bryce.

He just found a way to go out and get it on his natural Godgiven ability.”

Dustin Hogue had 15 points and Monte Morris had 14 for the Cyclones, who shot 5-of-9 on 3s in the second half.

The Cyclones have seven newcomers on their roster this season.

But Dejean-Jones was the only one who saw more than spot duty in the opener. Iowa State also played without sophomore Matt Thomas and junior Abdel Nader, who are serving two-game suspensions after being arrested for drunk driving in the offseason.

White’s early energy leads Iowa to win IOWA CITY (AP) — Aaron White scored 17 of his 19 points in the first half to lead Iowa to a 90-56 win over Hampton in the season opener for both teams on Friday night.

Friday’s game was a 2K Classic regional contest. Iowa plays No. 10 Texas in New York’s Madison Square Garden on Nov. 20. No. 23 Syracuse and Cal meet in the other semifinal game.

The Hawkeyes had 20 assists on their 29 field goals and a 4832 rebounding margin against Hampton.

Iowa’s Jarrod Uthoff scored 13 points on a career-best four 3-pointers on five attempts.

New starter Anthony Clemmons added 12 points.

Dwight Meikle scored 14 points to lead Hampton and Quinton Chievous added 12 points with nine rebounds.

White will be Iowa’s go-toguy with the departure of Roy Devyn Marble, last year’s lead-

Sprint Cup Continued from Page 1B holder who had Michael Jordan cheering from his pit, who seemed to have the race in control until a caution with 20 laps to go.

All four teams were forced to make tough strategy decisions that ultimately decided their fate.

Joe Gibbs Racing decided not to pit Hamlin, which moved him to second on the restart.

Richard Childress Racing gave Ryan Newman two tires, while Harvick crew chief Rodney Childers made the risky call for four tires.

Team Penske also had planned to give Joey Logano four tires, but a problem with the jack destroyed Logano’s chances and he plummeted from sixth to 21st, ending his championship bid.

Harvick restarted 12th with 15 laps to go and not much time to pick his way through traffic.

As Hamlin passed leader Jeff Gordon on the restart, Harvick shot past four cars to move to seventh.

Then came another caution, and Hamlin, on old tires, knew he was in trouble. Harvick, on the four fresh tires, rocketed through the middle on the restart, dicing his way through traffic to pick up another four spots and move into second.

“I loved our chances, but they weren’t there at the end,” Hamlin said. “Strategy is part of winning, and the strategy for us didn’t work out with the cautions.”

Harvick got by Hamlin, then Newman passed Hamlin for second and the championship became a battle of drivers who had essentially swapped seats this year. There was one more caution, forcing Harvick to nail

ing scorer.

White’s 19 points came on just 6 of 8 shooting. The forward’s putback dunk late in the first half received a big ovation from the CarverWhite Hawkeye Arena crowd.

White made 7 of 10 free throws and added seven rebounds and six assists in 21 minutes.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery appreciates that White does a lot of the small things. White tipped in a couple of misses.

The senior dove for a loose ball and called a timeout on the floor to steal a possession in the first half.

Clemmons looked sharp in his first start in 50 games for the Hawkeyes.

The junior replaced Marble in the starting lineup. Clem-

mons started 13 games in the middle of the 2012-13 season, but came off the bench every game last season.

Clemmons, the team’s best on-ball defender, made an effort to improve his shooting and offense this summer. The guard made both of his 3-point attempts against the Pirates, including a corner 3 just before the end of the first half.

Hampton shot 34 percent from the floor, including only 4 of 18 on 3-pointers.

Iowa’s Gabe Olaseni had 12 points, seven rebounds and four blocks. Peter Jok added 11 points.

The Hawkeyes have won 25 straight nonconference home games.

Friday was the first ever meeting between the schools.

Iowa is 14-0 all-time against the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

one final restart with three laps remaining, and he eased his way ahead of Newman and never looked back.

The victory capped a magical first season at Stewart-Haas Racing, where Harvick moved this year after 13 seasons with Richard Childress that failed to produce a championship.

Harvick, who had to win last week at Phoenix just to advance into Sunday’s final four, wrapped up his third victory of this Chase and fifth of the season. He leaned this week on team co-owner Tony Stewart, a three-time champion, and Jimmie Johnson, the six-time champion who moved from California to North Carolina to chase a career in NASCAR about the same time as Harvick made the move east.

“Been trying for 13 years,” an emotional Harvick said.

“This week ate me up. If it wasn’t for Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart, I would have been in bad trouble this week.

Those guys really helped me get through the week. After every practice, Jimmie was in there, and in our team debriefs Tony was constantly telling me just to go race and that it’s just another race.”

Stewart shared an emotional hug with Harvick, and then beamed during the celebration.

“That’s about as emotional as you can get, to have one of your greatest friends go out in one of your race cars and win a championship in the toughest series in the country,” Stewart said.

Newman, winless on the season, finished second. Hamlin faded to seventh, and Logano was a distant 16th.

Harvick’s wife, DeLana, sobbed on the pit stand and buried her head in her hands when Harvick crossed the fin-

ish line. She hugged Childers, who dabbed his eyes, before she made it down to the victory celebration. She met Stewart, who had retired from the race earlier with a car problem and was in street clothes, for an embrace and kiss before holding her son for the victory celebration.

Harvick hugged Childers and showered his jubilant crew with Budweiser, the beer company that followed him this year from Richard Childress Racing to Stewart-Haas. Harvick spoke with a catch in his voice, trying to compose himself when it was his turn to hold 2-yearold Keelan.

“I’m glad you’re awake,” Harvick told him. “Are you happy you’re awake? Can you say, ‘I believe daddy won? Say it. Really loud.’”

Keelan had no comment.

Stewart threw his arms around Harvick and the close friends and teammates held each other tight for several moments. It was Stewart who in 2012 convinced Harvick that if he left RCR when his contract expired at the end of 2013, he could help Harvick win his first title.

Stewart, co-owner Gene Haas, and Childers, who left Michael Waltrip Racing for the chance to build Harvick’s team, delivered.

“They gave us all the resources we needed,” Harvick said. “We never talked about money, we talked about building a team. It was just go get what you need.”

For Stewart, it took the sting off of his 15-year winning streak coming to a close Sunday.

“It doesn’t make up for a bad year,” Stewart said. “I mean, I’ve had a terrible year. But this makes the end of November great.”

ISU women begin with easy victory Newton Daily News AMES — Bryanna Fernstrom scored 25 points and Seanna Johnson and Brynn Williamson both opened the new season with double-doubles as the Iowa State women’s basketball team kicked off the 2014-15 year with a 9876 win over South Carolina Upstate at Hilton Coliseum on Sunday.

Astrograph Monday, Nov. 17, 2014

Radiating from the constellation Leo, the annual Leonid meteor shower gets a proper backdrop under the waning crescent Libra moon. If you’re in a dark enough place, face skyward after midnight and wish on those shooting stars (or more precisely, comet dust) — and as always, be careful what you wish for, because wishes really do come true.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 17). Whatever happens this year, for better or for worse, you take it in stride and then get back to work. Because you always return to your work, you will find the moments of success and contentment that make it all worthwhile. December, January and May feature big changes and the rewards you seek.

Taurus and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 11, 37 and 49.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re in a position to motivate and inspire others to do their best work. Keep in mind that some people like praise;

others like perks. Find out people’s preferences, and then serve them up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Knowing what’s coming in the culture is more than a talent — you consider it to be your duty. Someone has to lead! Because you’re two steps ahead of everyone else, quite naturally that someone should be you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Those who frantically try to make things happen are quite simply denying what already is.

It’s a waste of energy. Take a careful look around. Everything you need is right here.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). The plan that wants you to count and measure everything is not going to serve you in the long run. For starters, that will get old fast. Also, when you’re doing what feels right, the numbers don’t matter as much.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). True growth is uncomfortable. It changes you so fully that there is

no going back. It slays the earlier pattern so there is nothing to return to. If you’re uncomfortable, you’re probably doing it right.

ter? It won’t happen all in one day, but you can bet that you’re about to land a client, move into a fresh space or secure a longawaited green light.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Most anxiety is caused by living in a time other than the present.

Bring yourself to the current moment, and there is nothing to fear, only business to be handled in the “now.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

If you don’t have a system for getting feedback from those who are affected by your actions, now is the time to create one. Knowing what they think and feel will help you better serve your people (and you’ll be better compensated, too).

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Tired? Take it as a sign that there is not enough challenge in your routine to trigger your natural enthusiasm. Go off track. Half an hour spent learning something new will be enough to bring back your enthusiasm.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The action you are contemplating is likely to make 10 people happy and one person mad.

Will it be worth it? Much depends on who that one person happens to be.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Do you feel your luck changing for the bet-

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Victims are everywhere, but so are determined people. Claim your natural tenacity, and you’ll attract the sort of determined individuals who can help you take your project all the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are in danger of spreading yourself too thin. You won’t get the prize by jumping around from task to category to interest. Streamline your efforts. Narrow your focus.
