Supervisors to vote on Watershed Authority

OBITUARIES Lea M. Chabot, 68 Timothy Seckar, 65

By Ty Rushing Daily News Staff Writer Jasper County’s involvement in the future Mud Creek, Camp Creek and Spring Creek Watershed Management Authority will be decided at Tuesday’s meeting of the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

A vote on joining the Authority was tabled during the Nov. 7 meeting. During that meeting, Mark Land represented the Authority on behalf of his firm Snyder & Associates and presented information to the board about the proposal.

This new authority would include Jas-

per, Marion and Polk counties and the cities of Altoona, Bondurant, Mitchellville, Pleasant Hill and Runnells and the Soil and Water Conservation Districts’ of the three counties.

“The concept of a watershed management authority … was really driven by all that flooding we saw back in 2008,” Land told the board at the Nov. 7 meeting. “It was kind of the legislatures idea, after a lot of input, to kind of say, ‘Well, you can look at a watershed here, which is where the water goes after it hits the land, and it doesn’t fall by jurisdictional boundaries.’”

Cardinal Cardio up and running

Joining the Authority would be of no cost to the county and Land told the board it would be the best way to get the county’s views on the watershed heard.

“Your ability to participate in that discussion isn’t as strong if you’re not a part of the discussion,” Land said. “So, a whole bunch of people are talking about your watershed around a table and it might be good to get your two-cents worth. It’s no more of an obligation than just saying what you think.”

The expansion would enable TIF funds to be utilized in the expanded area, which includes the Jasper County Courthouse square area, for projects such as street lighting, streetscaping, and façade improvements. The North Central Urban Renewal Plan was adopted as an amendment during the Oct. 7 city council meeting.

The next ordinance being looked at is for the installation of new stop signs at the intersections of East 19th Street North and North Fourth and North Eighth Avenue East. A change to the ordinance was prepared by the Traffic Safety Committee and presented to the council at the direction of Hansen.

At the Oct. 7 city council meeting, the approval of an amendment to the Prairie Fire Urban Renewal Plan stated the area would be merged

into the adjacent Speedway Urban Renewal Area as a sub-area plan. The deadline to complete the merger is Dec. 1.

In 2008, Mason Groben saw an opportunity when his parents’ Jasper Winery moved from Newton to Des Moines. That opportunity became Madhouse Brewing Company, a local craft brewery that has called Newton home for the past three years.

Now, like its predecessor, Madhouse Brewing Company will be making Des Moines its new home early next year.

A number of Newton and Jasper County officials helped make Madhouse Brewing Company a reality.

When a 70-year-old law prevented Groben, the vintner for Jasper Winery, from working for the brewery, then-mayor Chaz Allen and Iowa Sen. Dennis Black led the charge to have the law changed.

Allen declined to comment for this article.

Madhouse Brewing Company was launched as a partnership between Groban and Iowa Telecom CEO Allen Wells. A number of other investors joined in, but when Iowa Telecom was purchased by Windstream, the brewery bought back Iowa Telecom’s shares.

Those shares are now being offered to those who would be interested in investing in Madhouse Brewing Company. Each unit of shares will be sold for $6,000. The brewery also plans an open house from 5 to 7 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 21, to allow potential investors to see its new facility south of the East Village in downtown Des Moines.

Madhouse Brewing Co. has been operating as a production-only brewery since its launch in 2010. Its revenue comes from off-site distribution sales at grocery stores, liquor shops and restaurants in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota and Illinois.

In its announcement Friday, Madhouse Brewing Company said the new locations will allow beer enthusiasts to visit the brewery for tours, tastings and special events. The statement said current brewery business models show that operating an on-site retail operations provides significant revenue sources.

Groban did not respond to efforts to comment for this article.

Storms sweep across Midwest, kill six in Illinois

Colfax Country Christmas Dec. 7

WA S H I N G T O N , Ill. (AP) — As a powerful tornado bore down on their Illinois farmhouse, Curt Zehr’s wife and adult son didn’t have time to do anything but scramble down the stairs into their basement.

Uninjured, the pair looked out moments later to find the house gone and the sun out “right on top” of them, Zehr said. Their home, on the outskirts of Washington, Ill., was swept up and scattered over hundreds of yards by one of the dozens of tornadoes and intense thunderstorms that swept across the Midwest on Sunday, leaving at least six people dead and unleashing powerful winds that flattened entire neighborhoods, flipped over cars and uprooted trees.

“They saw (the tornado) right there and got in the basement,” said a stunned Zehr, pointing to the farm field near the rubble that had been his home.

Early Monday, Washington Mayor Gary Manier estimated that from 250 to 500 homes were either damaged or destroyed in the storm and that it wasn’t clear when residents would be allowed to return.

“Everybody’s without

power, but some people are without everything,” Manier told reporters in the parking lot of a destroyed auto parts store and near a row of flattened homes.

“How people survived is beyond me,” he said.

The unusually powerful late-season wave of thunderstorms brought damaging winds and tornadoes to 12 states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and western New York.

Bill Bunting, forecast operations chief of the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said the storms all belonged to the same system and would be “moving rapidly to the east and continue east overnight and into the morning.”

Illinois was the hardest struck with at least six people killed and dozens more injured.

An 80-year-old man and his 78-year-old sister were killed by a tornado that hit their farmhouse near the rural southern Illinois community of New Minden, coroner Mark Styninger said. A third person died in Washington, while three others per-

ished in Massac County in the far southern part of the state, said Patti Thompson of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. She did not provide details.

Communications remained difficult and with many roads impassable it was not clear if the injury and death tolls would rise on Monday. Ill. Gov. Pat Quinn declared seven counties disaster areas.

Washington, a town of 16,000 about 140 miles southwest of Chicago, appeared to have suffered the most severe damage. The tornado cut a path about an eighth of a mile wide from one side of town to the other, State Trooper Dustin Pierce said.

Across farm fields a little more than a mile from where Zehr’s home was swept up, several blocks of homes were destroyed.

“The whole neighborhood’s gone. The wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house,” said Michael Perdun, speaking by cellphone.

The Illinois National Guard assisted with search and recovery operations in Washington. The White House issued a statement saying President Barack Obama had been briefed about the dam-

age and was in touch with federal, state and local officials. Quinn and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence were scheduled to survey affected areas in their respective states Monday.

As law enforcement officers continued to search for victims and sized up the cleanup and rebuilding job ahead, they kept everyone but residents and emergency workers out. With power off and lines down in many areas, natural gas lines leaking and trees and other debris blocking many streets, an overnight curfew kept all but emergency vehicles off pitch-black roads. The only lights visible across most of Washington on Sunday night were red and blue flashes from police and fire truck lights.

Pierce said there were reports of looting around town.

About 75 friends and neighbors helped Zehr to salvage his family’s belongings. He said he’d been at church when the tornado hit but that his wife, Sue, and son were at home.

A friend, Keith Noe, said the Zehr family still felt fortunate.

“They both walked out of the basement and that’s what counts,” Noe said.

Look Younger Longer Most people know that using sunscreen can help lower the risk of skin cancer, but it also may help to protect your skin (even if you’re middle-aged) from the aging caused by the sun’s ultraviolet rays. In a study that included more than 900 people, ages 25 to 55, participants were either told to use broadspectrum sunscreen (SPF 15+) every day or told to use it when they wanted to.

After four years, the people who used sunscreen daily had 24% less aging of the skin (e.g., wrinkling, dark spots and sagging skin) than the group who only used it occasionally.

Letter to the Editor

Help stop Iowa teens’ prescription drug misuse and abuse To the editor: Did you know more Americans now die from drug overdoses than car crashes? It is a startling and deadly statistic.

Of these deaths, 60 percent were due to the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs—making them more deadly than illicit drugs like cocaine and heroin.

Iowa is not immune to this trend.

Improper use of prescription medicines is the fastest-growing form of substance abuse in Iowa.

During the last decade, the number of Iowans age 12 or older treated for prescription painkiller abuse has increased 250 percent, and overdoses due to pain medicines such as Oxycontin have increased 1,200 percent.

Why are Iowa teens misusing and abusing prescription drugs? According to the 2012 national PATS study, teens are more apt to abuse prescription medicines than illicit drugs for a few reasons.

Only 14 percent of parents warn teens about prescription drugs when they have “the alcohol and drug talk.”

And, four in 10 teens who have misused or abused prescription drugs say they took them from their parent’s medicine cabinet.

Iowa Medicine TLC is a new kind of “TLC” I encourage all parents to give their teens. Iowa Medicine TLC stands for Talk, Lock and Connect.

Talk to your teens about the dangers of prescription and over-thecounter drug misuse and abuse. Lock up these medicines and properly dispose of them. Connect with the Iowa Substance Abuse Information Center (ISAIC) at IowaMedicineTLC. org, or call 866-242-4111, to learn how you can help prevent prescription drug misuse and abuse.

Emily Blomme Program Manager Iowa Substance Abuse Information Center

What’s next for us from our government?

To the editor: We got a half-baked apology from our President for the mess we are in now. Let’s see how we get out of this one (Olley!). It should prove to be interesting.

It just goes to show how much he really knows about what is going on with these bills.

Now the FDA is trying to say that we should have zero transfat. I guess the grocery stores are really going to be busy. I think they need to be more involved with the bad medication out on the shelves and less on the foods.

We can do diets and pick healthy foods ourselves, thank you Mr. FDA. You know it is bad enough we have to say “Happy Holidays” instead of what we want. And it is bad enough we can’t say the “Pledge” in some schools. Now the government wants our kids to read books that detail other religions in our classrooms instead of what our Nation fought for.

I don’t see anything wrong with this but it has nothing of Christian religion. Now, if we can’t say the Pledge or wish someone a “Merry Christmas,” is this a little hypocritical?

What is wrong with us all? Have we lost our spine? Are we too gutless?

Or too nice and understanding?

Well, it’s time to stand up and say enough is enough! We need to take our United States back. Pray in school, say our Pledge, do what I did as a kid growing up.

If we offend people, do as we have to do now. Leave the room or just keep quiet!

American Education Week will be Nov. 18-22

By Lucinda Sinclair & Barb Hackworth Newton Community Education Association During American Education Week, November 18-22, 2013, Americans nationwide will join the National Education Association in raising awareness about the need to provide every child with a quality public education.

The celebration highlights the importance of bringing together educators, parents, students, and communities in a unified effort to build great public schools. It also reflects NEA’s vision of calling upon America to provide public school students with quality schools so that they can grow and achieve in the 21st century.

NEA’s vision to provide quality education dates back to WW1. Distressed that 25 percent of the country’s World War 1 draftees were illiterate and 9 percent were physically unfit, representatives of the NEA

Education joined the effort as a cosponsor, and the PTA followed in 1938.

To quote NEA President Dennis Van Roekel, “public schools are the foundation of our country’s propriety and strength. We must honor all Americans who are committed and dedicated to giving our nation’s children a basic right to a great public education.”

To further reinforce American Education Week’s theme, the following events and activities will be happening in our school district: students at Thomas Jefferson have made posters to express what education means to them, look for them hanging in windows of local businesses! Berg Middle School plans to have students write about what education means to them. Some buildings will be honoring substitute teachers on Friday with treats.

Please help us in celebrating all of Newton’s educators next week!

A Conversation About Care

The history of Skiff (Part IV) Legislative updates are a regular item on the agenda for the Skiff Medical Center Board of Trustees these days.

The implementation of health-care reform and the innumerable related regulations have enormous impacts on our Steve Long hospital, makCEO ing current inSkiff Medical Center formation on the changes absolutely essential. I tend to think of our current time as unique in the history of health care, and in many ways it is. But I recently read a set of board minutes from 1959 in which Mr. Koss, the hospital administrator at the time, was recorded as presenting information to the board on important legislative issues impacting the hospital. As I read these documents, I chuckled to myself as I was reminded that, while our current situation is certainly challenging, it is not unique. Skiff has had to adapt to several periods of intense change during its 95-plusyear history and we will adapt again as they did in the 1960s … which is where we left our story last time.

It was 1962 and the federal government had been part and parcel of the health-care funding equation for many years, primarily through the passage of the Hill-Burton Act (Hospital Survey and Construction Act) in 1946. This act provided money to hospitals for the expansion of existing facilities and the construction of new facilities with the goal being increased access to health-care services across the

and the American Legion met in 1919 to seek ways to generate public support for education.

The conventions of both organizations subsequently adopted resolutions to support for a national effort to raise public awareness of the importance of education. In 1921, the NEA Representative Assembly in Des Moines called for designation of one week each year to spotlight education.

In its resolution, the NEA called for “And educational week…observed in the communities annually for the purpose of informing the public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs.”

country. In addition to providing greater access to health-care facilities, the law also prohibited hospitals accepting those funds from discriminating against patients on the basis of race, color, national origin or creed. In addition, the law required those facilities to provide a reasonable volume of free care for patients who could not afford their care. This bill was seen as a compromise to the National Health Insurance legislation supported by President Truman at the time.

By 1959, Skiff Memorial Hospital (as it had now become known), had already received federal HillBurton money for one expansion project, so this was no doubt one topic of legislative discussion by the board. Another topic that was likely on the list was the potential passage of the Forand Bill. In 1957, Congressman Aime Forand from Rhode Island, with the support of the AFL-CIO, introduced legislation that would create a program of national health insurance for beneficiaries of social security, the income safety net program for seniors that was introduced in 1935. The American Hospital Association supported the Forand bill because hospitals were increasingly impacted by the growing elderly population who were predominantly low-income and had little access to health insurance. Interestingly, the bill was opposed by the American Medical Association and a variety of business groups.

A pitched battle around the Forand Bill was waged in congress for several years with a compromise passing in 1961 called the KerrMills Act. It created the forerunner of the Medicaid program but was restricted to covering only the el-

derly poor and gave states the choice of opting-out, which many did.

President Kennedy’s administration was dissatisfied with this outcome and continued to push for a more comprehensive plan for which they had coined the name “Medicare.”

Kennedy’s untimely death interrupted the process, and it was not until late 1965 that the bill, with support from the Johnson administration, was finally passed, and only after more than 500 amendments had been attached. The result was the creation of Title 18 (Medicare), and Title 19 (Medicaid). These two bills would forever change the face of health care in America not only by providing insurance coverage, but by requiring hospitals and doctors accepting payment from these programs to participate in racial desegregation. The days of segregated clinic waiting rooms and hospitals inpatient wards was coming to an end.

On July 1, 1966, poor and elderly Americans became eligible for comprehensive medical insurance coverage. Skiff, like most hospitals in America, applied to be an approved provider of services to Medicare beneficiaries. In those early days, most commercial insurance companies paid hospitals either by reimbursing the hospital for the reasonable costs of care provided or through a negotiated charge (price).

Medicare’s payment process for hospitals followed essentially the same model but required hospitals to submit a report of all their costs at the end of each year. Medicare then calculated the ratio of costs to charges and in the following year CONVERSATION See Page 5A

Conversation: City took over ambulance service in 1960s

Parties focus on special election for Senate seat DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Republicans hoping to recapture a majority in the state Senate next year must first hang on to a seat that is up for grabs this week in a special election.

Voters on Tuesday will decide who should represent Senate District 13, located south of Des Moines. The race pits Republican Rep. Julian Garret against Mark Davitt, a Democrat who previously served six years in the Iowa House, but lost his seat in 2008.

The Senate seat was vacated when former Sen. Kent Sorenson, a Republican from Milo, resigned last month after an independent investigator concluded he likely broke ethics rules in receiving money from presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s political action committee and presidential campaign. Sorenson has said his resignation wasn’t an admission of wrongdoing.

The outcome of the election will not impact the control of the Senate, where Democrats hold 26 of the 50 seats. But Republicans badly want to keep the seat as they look ahead to the 2014 elections, when they will try to recapture the majority.

GOP Party Chairman AJ Spiker said he thinks they are going

Supervisors Continued from Page 1A If approved, Board Chair Dennis Stevenson would sign the 28E agreement confirming the county’s membership and the county would appoint a representative to attend the meetings.

Jasper County Elderly Nutrition Director Kellie Van Manen will present several items to the board during Tuesday’s meeting.

The first item requiring board approval would be an agreement between Elderly Nutrition and Skiff Medical Center. According to the contract, Skiff would contract Elderly Nutrition to provide home delivered meals to clients.

Skiff would pay the county monthly for providing the service and the terms of the contract, if approved, would expire on June 30, 2014.

into Tuesday with an edge.

“It’s a Republican seat. It’s a seat we have held and a seat we need to hold. We want to be able to win the majority next year. It’s important to building to your 26 votes in the Senate,” Spiker said.

According to registration data, there are 14,364 registered Republicans and 12,570 registered Democrats, though there are another 14,697 with no party affiliation, according the Iowa Secretary of State’s office.

So far, more Republicans have sought early or absentee ballots.

The Secretary of State’s office lists 1,407 Republicans, 850 Democrats and with 229 no party signed up to vote absentee or early.

Still, Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Scott Brennan said Sorenson’s alleged ethical violations might sour some voters on another Republican candidate.

“It’s important to remember that this special election was caused by Kent Sorenson’s unethical and corrupt political doings, and voters will remember this going into the polls on Tuesday.

Democrats like Mark Davitt will fight to reestablish the integrity and honor of representing the people of District 13,” Brennan said in a statement.

paid the bills submitted by the hospital using this percentage. Interestingly, Medicare paid physicians the entire amount they charged for their services.

This cost-based payment system was a boon to hospitals as it effectively shielded them from the financial risk associated with their high fixed costs and made success in health care a volume-based proposition. The system also offered flexibility because hospitals had the option to keep charges (prices) low, while ensuring their costs would still be covered. Unfortunately, this payment mechanism also fostered large differences in the cost of hospital care around the country as there was little incentive to improve efficiency.

This resulted in some parts of the country (primarily the east and south) experiencing profoundly higher costs than others (primarily in the upper midwest).

With improved access to insurance payments and government funding, hospitals were able to dramatically improve facilities and equipment for their patients. While many of these investments were in advanced medical technology (pacemakers in 1957, hip replacements in 1962, and Valium in 1963), there were also improvements in other areas. At Skiff, for example, obstetrics became the first part of the hospital to be airconditioned in 1957, although fans blowing across blocks of ice continued to be used in other areas! Televi-

Van Manen’s second and third request would involve Aging Resources of Central Iowa. ARCI provides advocacy services to the regions elderly citizens.

The second request is for a contract to provide Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day meals to citizens ages 60 and above. Meals would cost the county $5 a piece and there would be 70 meals distributed each holiday.

If approved, ARCI would reimburse the county for the cost of providing this service.

Van Manen’s final request is for the board to approve of a grant application to ARCI on behalf of the Elderly Nutrition Office. Elderly Nutrition is seeking to receive $120,000 from ARCI. Staff writer Ty Rushing may be contacted at (641) 792-3121, ext. 426, or at trushing@newtondailynews.com.

Turkey of an ex-boyfriend could ruin Thanksgiving dinner DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law tends to embrace every pitiful creature she comes into contact with. This Thanksgiving she has invited my exboyfriend and his wife to her home to share in the festivities. My ex was abusive to me most of the time, and we did not end on good terms. The woman he cheated on me with is now his wife.

My ex was sneaky and manipulative, and I believe his only reason for wanting to be there is to check up on me and my husband. I have explained this to my husband and his mother, and told them I don’t feel comfortable with the situation. They both told me I am “overreacting” and that he was a part of my past and I have since moved on.

I feel the family I love has betrayed me. The idea of my ex being involved in what should be a comfortable family day has me afraid and uneasy.

AM I overreacting? Or is my husband’s mother being unreasonable? — DREADING THANKSGIVING DEAR DREADING THANKSGIVING: I do not think you are overreacting. It was insensitive of your mother-in-law to invite your abusive ex and his wife to the gathering without first checking with you. While you may have moved on, I can see why this would not be something you would look forward to. Frankly, it’s surprising that your mother-in-law would even know your ex — let alone invite him to her home.

DEAR ABBY: I have been living on my own for three years. I recently moved back to my hometown and share a great apartment with my best friend from childhood.

My mother has had a serious alcohol problem for as long as I can remember. She will be moving back to the area next month for a new job.

Dad couldn’t get a job transfer, so he’ll have to stay at their current house,

which is five hours away.

I love Mom, but I’m very worried because I will be her closest family member location-wise. Her drinking has grown progressively worse over the last few years and has been the cause of three major surgeries. If something happens while she’s living on her own, I don’t know what I’ll do.

Talking to my family is useless. It gets brushed aside because they don’t want to deal with the pain after all these years. Do you have any suggestions to make this transition easier? — HEAVY-HEARTED DAUGHTER IN VIRGINIA DEAR HEAVY-HEARTED: For the sake of your sanity, you must not assume responsibility for your mother’s drinking problem. Before she arrives, it would be helpful for you to attend some Al-Anon meetings or visit a chapter of Adult Children of Alcoholics World Service Organization.

They can help you to maintain your emotional equilibrium as well as share experiences that will help you to cope with her without being overwhelmed.

Al-Anon should be listed in your phone directory because it is everywhere, or you can visit www.AlAnonFamilyGroups.org. The website for Adult Children of Alcoholics is www.adultchildren.org.

Cardinal Cardio is up and running at NHS

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor NEWTON — Physical education teachers across the nation continually strive to develop programs to help their students learn to be active and healthy throughout their lives.

Newton Senior High teachers Brian Smith and Kim Florke began brainstorming several years ago about what they could do for Newton students. That brainstorming came to fruition in August — the new cardio exercise room on the upper level of the NHS gymnasium.

“Coach Florke and I wanted more for students in our PE classes, more than just activity related classes. We wanted more wellness and fitness related opportunities for the students,” said Smith.

“She and I went through the process of what we’d like to have in the room for students to use. I wrote grants and the goal was to raise $40,000.”

With approval from last year’s administration, Smith wrote the grants and they received donations from several community organizations and businesses. Smith pointed to the signs on the wall in the room — Jasper County Foundation, Newton PTA, Edward Jones, NCEF, Walker, Billingsley and Bair Law Office, Clemon-Maki Insurance Associates, Advantage Credit Union — as the generous benefactors.

Cardinal Cardio was open for use by Newton students when school began in August.

The glass enclosure was built by the school, Smith said. The room has elliptical exercise machines and tread mills. He said they purchased top of the

Area football players named to All-District teams

By Dustin Turner Daily News Sports Writer Following the elimination of both Albia and Van Meter from the state tournament this past Saturday, Class 2A District 6 and Class 1A District 7 schools were made aware of the 2013 All-District teams, and Colfax-Mingo, CollinsMaxwell/Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe’s players, coaches and parents had plenty to be proud of.

In Class 1A District 7,

Tigerhawk sophomore Jake Lietz made his way to the first team all-defense list.

The linebacker regularly piled up double-digit tackle numbers, and was the most durable of C-M’s starters following an injury-plagued season. His 126 tackles led the team and placed him 13th in Class 1A. PCM’s season ended with a first-round loss to Mediapolis in a monsoon of a game, but that early exit didn’t reflect poorly on first team all-district offensive

lineman Jackson Winegar.

The 5-9 240-pound senior was often regarded as one if not the smartest player on the offensive side of the ball for the Mustangs.

Coach Greg Bonnett pointed to Winegar as one of the toughest players to replace going into next season. He frequently recognized defensive fronts and was able to alert his coaches to make adjustments in order to bolster an already prolific rushing attack for the Mustangs.

PCM filled up the first team on the defensive side of the ball. Defensive lineman Brandon Charls, linebacker Blake McWilliams and defensive back Zach Uhlenhopp each earned spots.

Charls finished second on the team with 58 total tackles, six of them for losses. The senior started every game this season on the front line for a PCM FOOTBALL See Page 8A

Football: Raiders, Mustangs flood all-district first and second teams Continued from Page 7A defense that surrendered more than 30 points on just one occasion — against undefeated district champions Albia.

McWilliams led all Mustangs in tackles with 85, 55 of them solo and five for a loss. He also intercepted one pass on the year and returned it for 31 yards. The achievement for McWilliams is particularly impressive considering the load he was asked to carry on the other side of the ball. McWilliams was also the team’s leading rusher on the season, running 215 times for 1,157 yards. Bonnett regarded McWillians as someone with a high motor, who just keeps fighting.

It’s fair to say Uhlenhopp had a nose for the football this season. The senior tied for the Class 2A lead with seven interceptions on the year. He also had 20 tackles on the year. Uhlenhopp was one of the main kick returners with 10 returns for 256 yards. He also led the team in receptions with 14.

CMB’s Raiders boasted four first-team selections, headlined by District 6 defensive co-MVP Zach Samson. The 6-1 210-pound senior led the team offensively, but was Samson recognized for his efforts on the defensive side of the ball. Samson accounted for 29 tackles on the season, including two sacks and three tackles for losses. Samson recovered two fumbles on the year, as well.

Junior offensive lineman Patrick Girard landed on the first team squad. The largest of the first team linemen at 6-4 290 pounds, Girard was almost impossible to move along the Raider offensive line, providing the necessary protection for Rob Luther’s option offense to develop.

Junior receiver Bryce Kemp was the other Raider on the first-team offense.

Standing 6-5, Kemp was a difficult cover for defensive backs he went up against, who were regularly six to 10 inches shorter.

He was second on the team in receptions with 28 and yards with 604. Kemp’s 11 receiving touchdowns placed him fourth in Class 2A. Senior defensive back Austin Moorman also was named to the first team for the Raiders. Moorman accounted for 37 tackles on the year, with four of them for losses and one Moorman sack. His two interceptions tied for the team lead, and he recovered one fumble, as well.

PCM offensive lineman Glenn Gillaspie was elected to the second team.

The senior started every game for a brutal rushing attack, and his size at 6-2 240 pounds allowed for the necessary push up front to keep the chains moving.

CMB’s Cory Morris also made his way onto the second team. Morris, a 6-2 330-pound junior combined with Girard to make up one of the largest offensive line combinations in Class 2A. Mustang running back Ronnie Marshall was also a second-team selection.

Marshall, who spent most of the season being relied upon in short yardage situations, ran the football 66 times for 282 yards and accounted for 10 rushing touchdowns. The junior will be asked to shoulder more of an offensive load with McWilliams graduating.

Brady Stover was elected as a secondteam receiver for the Raiders. Stover, a 6-1 170-pound sophomore, helped make up a three-man receiving corps that showcased superior height when compared to Class 2A defensive backs.

Stover was third on the team with 21 receptions and 201 yards. He also caught

two touchdowns on the season.

PCM’s Luke Cummings made the second team as a defensive lineman.

Cummings was third on the team in tackles with 52. The senior frequently got into the opponents’ backfield, accounting for seven tackles for losses.

Broncos end Chiefs’ perfect season with 27-17 win at home The Denver Broncos stamped themselves as the AFC’s top team by ending Kansas City’s perfect run.

Peyton Manning threw for 323 yards and a touchdown Sunday night and was barely touched by Kansas City’s sack-happy defense in Denver’s 27-17 victory.

The Broncos (9-1) tied the Chiefs atop the AFC West. Temporarily, Denver holds the tiebreaker, but the teams meet again in two weeks in Kansas City.

With Jack Del Rio replacing coach John Fox in charge of the Broncos for the second straight week — Fox is recovering from heart surgery — Denver became the first team to score more than 17 points on Kansas City this season.

“We knew they would have some stops, that’s an excellent defense,” said Manning, whose team had scored at least 28 points in every game. “We knew that once we got

down to the red zone, getting touchdowns was critical.

They make teams settle for field goals down there.”

But the Broncos got those TDs as rookie Montee Ball rushed for two scores and Manning hit Julius Thomas for a 9-yard touchdown.

Denver isn’t getting cocky about the win, though.

“We put a lot of work into this game and these guys, play them again in two weeks, which is kind of strange,” added Manning, whose right ankle sprain held up well.

So did his offensive line against the NFL’s sacks leader: Kansas City didn’t add to its 36 sacks.

Naz Long added 16 for the Cyclones (3-0), who held McGary to just one point in the second half while notching one of their biggest wins under coach Fred Hoiberg.

McGary, a preseason first-team All-American who missed two games with a lower back injury, finished with nine points and six rebounds.

Nik Stauskas led Michigan (2-1) with 20 points and Derrick Walton Jr. had 13. Glenn Robinson III was held to 12 points on 4 of 14 shooting.

Ejim, who also played for the first time after missing two games with a hyperextended left knee, added nine rebounds as Iowa State closed the game on a 23-10 run.

Michigan kept threatening to pull away from the Cyclones in the second half — especially with Iowa State forward Georges Niang on the bench with four fouls.

Ejim kept the Wolverines from doing it.

Stauskas took a loose ball and flushed it home with an emphatic one-handed dunk, only to watch Ejim answer with a 3. Spike Albrecht then hit a layup, and Ejim responded with a jumper.

Iowa State’s DeAndre Kane followed with a 3, and Naz Long’s 3 capped a 13-2 run that gave the Cyclones a 67-62 lead with 5:00 left.

Kane had 13 points and six assists and Dustin Hogue added 12

points and 10 rebounds.

When McGary and Ejim entered play together with 16:17 left in the first half, no one was quite sure how healthy either one of them was.

But by the end of the half, it was clear that McGary and Ejim were the two best players on the floor.

McGary jumped a passing lane and maneuvered through Iowa State’s defense for a transition layup, one of four field goals he had in the first half alone. Ejim, a preseason firstteam All-Big 12 pick, gave the Cyclones a huge boost off the bench with 12 points and five boards his first 10 minutes of action.

McGary couldn’t keep it up in the second half though — while Ejim helped key Iowa State’s late surge.

Michigan was just 8 of 29 from 3-point range and 4 of 9 on free throws.

Ejim’s return was among the many reasons why Sunday’s matinee was one of the biggest nonconference games Iowa State has ever hosted.

Hilton Coliseum sold out in less than 10 minutes when tickets went on sale last month. A schoolrecord 22 NBA scouts requested credentials as well, no doubt hoping to get a glimpse of McGary and Robinson.

The Cyclones also brought back former coach Johnny Orr, who left Michigan for the Cyclones in 1981.

Though Michigan looked to be on the verge of pulling away more than once, Iowa State rallied to score a win that’ll likely come in handy come March.

Cardio: Students benefit from new fitness room Continued from Page 7A many students and faculty,” Florke said. “It aids our vision of overall wellness.”

Smith said students rotate during PE classes from group activities and the cardio workouts. He said instead of students sitting out and not doing anything during the activities, they go up and work out in the fitness room.

“The cardio room motivates me to workout in my off periods,” said Kacy Cazett, Newton senior, who participates in volleyball and track. “I try to run about three miles every school day in the cardio room. The variety of machines that students can use is fantastic. I’m thankful the school built the cardio room, for it has improved my athletic ability.”

Smith said the school also received iPads to use with the physical education program. Students use the program, my fitness pal, to document their nutrition, daily intake of calories, and calories they burn through activities, Smith said, as well as document the amount of time they spending in the cardio room and other physical education activities.

He said they have more elliptical machines in the room because of the variety of movement available through the machines compared to a treadmill with

just running or walking.

“The machines give me an idea of how hard I’m working by giving the calorie burn, distance, heart rate, speed and intensity,” said Felicia Fischer, Newton senior. “Before the cardio room was built, I had no desire to work out and now I do. I’m so thankful for the room, and the school had definitely benefited from it.”

Smith said the cardio room impacts 100 to 150 students on a daily basis per nine weeks. He

said some of the students who had PE the first nine weeks are still trying to come in and use the room during their free time or after school.

“As long as there is supervision, students may use the room. During a PE class, the room is for the students in the class but we have students coming after school to use it,” Smith said. “Students are motivated to work out on the machines. This is a real positive thing for our school.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Savanah Eadens works out on a treadmill in the cardio room at Newton Senior High School. Eadens was in the room during her physical education class.

The day after the full moon of indulgence is good for questioning everything, including your various roles, expectations of life, the expectations your family has of you, and your choice of work, activities, companionship and more. It’s likely there will be items that do not hold up under questioning, and you may find this freeing.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 18). Your purpose shifts over the next three months, and you’ll warm to a new social landscape, too.

December and March are your best times to expand your home and business.

You’ll be the one to make decisions for your family in December. You’ll fix something in February that makes money for you come spring. Aquarius and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 4, 33, 28 and 35.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Loyalty is about what happens behind people’s backs. Disloyal people act very differently depending on who is in the room. Don’t

trust anyone who displays disloyal qualities (even if they happen to adore you right now).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). If your views are considered radical today, they won’t be tomorrow.

Someone has to blaze the trail, and right now it’s you.

You’re not trying to be sensational; you’re just trying to tell the truth.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You hope, but you don’t know. That’s a good place to be, especially because it brings you together with other people in a similar mindset.

Discussions will be particularly interesting this evening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you study today has wide applications, and many will be grateful that you took the time to acquire the knowledge. Answer one question, and two more will grow out of that answer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your loved ones are proud of you, but that is

not enough to make you relax. There’s something you want, and this symbol will bring the validation that the acceptance and praise of a person could not provide.

ing 60 on the interstate and suddenly the windshield is magically removed. A rush of wind changes the dynamics, and you’ll have to adjust to get comfortable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you sense that things are going in a certain direction, you’ll adjust your position to a more auspicious one. Some stubborn people you know will resist and fight it out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Don’t lose your sense of play just because you hit a few rocks in the road. Love always wins in the end. When you’re in the middle stretch, it might not seem like love is winning, and that’s what makes it so exciting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re a natural problem solver, and you won’t give up. You’ll apply your tenacity to the most obvious problem and get answers by the end of the day. This won’t fix things, but it will be a start.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

People are curious about you now and may even go so far as to snoop. Be careful what you put down in writing.

Once there’s a visual record of your words, they take on a life of their own.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You may feel like you’re do-

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

If you have a fault — and everybody does — acknowledge it. To pretend it doesn’t exist is just inviting criticism. But the criticism becomes admiration just as soon as people know you’re working on yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Charge for your work. If you don’t, people won’t take you seriously, and they’ll devalue your contribution. You don’t have to charge a big sum, but do charge something.

Monday, November 18, 2013

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A group of Iowa landowners are organizing to fight a proposed $2 billion electric transmission line that would provide a boost to wind power in the state.

The proposed 500-mile line that a subsidiary of Clean Line Energy Partners wants to build would stretch from O’Brien County in northwest Iowa to Morris, Ill., the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported.

Company officials say the transmission line would connect Iowa wind farms with communities in other states that want the electricity, and more wind projects would be possible.

“The project will deliver enough clean energy to power around 1.4 million homes, contribute to energy security, increase state and local tax revenues and reduce pollution,” said Hans Detweiler with Clean Line.

But Ted and Kim Junker don’t like the idea of the line crossing their farm in Grundy County. Kim Junker says the construction of towers for the line and maintenance could hurt the farm.

“There’s going to be a lot of compaction and a lot of disruption to the fertility of the land,” she said.

Clean Line says it needs to secure 1,247 easements from 2,295 individuals or entities, and opponents are trying to make that difficult.

Transmission line opponents established the Preservation of Rural Iowa Alliance in July to fight the project. The group is urging landowners not to sign voluntary agreements with Clean Line in order to force the company to either negotiate individually or pursue condemnation.

Carolyn Sheridan, the alliance’s board president, said forcing Clean Line to do more work to acquire easements for the line may help defeat the project.

US stocks push through latest record highs NEW YORK (AP) — Investors stayed upbeat Friday, pushing U.S. stock indexes deeper into record territory.

Stocks climbed to all-time highs for the third straight day as investors assessed the prospect for further economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve.

Agilent Technologies, which makes scientific instruments, was the biggest gainer in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index after reporting earnings that exceeded analysts’ expectations. Exxon Mobil rose after billionaire Warren Buffett’s company disclosed late Thursday that it had taken a stake in the oil company.

The S&P 500 has advanced for six straight weeks, part of an impressive rise this year. The index is up 26.1 percent so far. If it ends 2013 with a gain that big it would be the best performance in a decade.

Several factors have been driving the market higher this year. The Federal Reserve has kept up its extraordinary efforts to stimulate the economy. And while the U.S. economy’s recovery has been plodding, it has been strong enough to enable corporations to keep increasing their profits.
