Lifetime passes praised Allows senior citizens to see Newton schools events for free

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Council approved no parking along North 33rd Avenue East between East 19th Street North and East 28th Street North at the request of TPI for employee safety and easier travel for the high volume of semi-traffic the road has.

Council OKs parking ban near TPI Electric, gas franchise fees fail to move forward

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After several month of preparation and discussion, the electric and natural gas franchise fees failed to garner any additional interest on its third reading at the city council meeting Monday.

The fees would have been a surcharge on all electric and natural gas customers bills in Newton and would help fund road repairs and other infrastructure needs.

“It kind of came down to three reasons why I didn’t do anything tonight. One was the county and school effect that this franchise fee would have and how that could create more problems. Number two was the business burden. We have seen cities that were able to tailor made it to make it a little more reasonable so that way the busi-

ness wouldn’t take on the majority of the burden of this franchise fee,” Jeff Price, council member said. “Also, the retail or the economic development portion of that, too. Right now, I think we are in the point where we need all of the ammo that we can have, and I do think that this may have hindered that a little bit.”

The funds raised by the franchise fee were pitched as a funding source for various infrastructure needs in the city.

Mayor Mike Hansen agreed with Price that it is not the right time for Newton to move forward with a franchise fee, but that it was good to be able to talk with citizens as well as with the business community to see what was going on in the community. He said the infrastructure improvements were recognized by TCI community In other business, the coun-

cil adopted an ordinance for no parking along North 33rd Avenue East between East 19th Street North and East 28th Street North. TPI asked the city and county to get rid of the parking on the shoulders because of the high semi-truck traffic along the road that jeopardized safety for employees.

Property tax rebates for the Iowa Speedway were also adopted in the amount of $454,332.11 and paid from the Speedway-Prairie Fire TIF District fund. The city agreed to rebate all property taxes above $990,000 to the Speedway.

A red card is something most soccer coaches and players want to avoid. However, a red card is also what might help Jasper County senior citizens get to see their grandchildren participate in extra curricular activities for free.

Newton Community Schools issues a Lifetime Senior Citizens Activity Pass for all Newton or Kellogg residents age 62 or older.

While the red cards have been around for several years, longtime Newton supporter John McNeer said there are still seniors who might not be aware they can get into the school d i s t r i c t ’s a t h letic competitions a n d music activities for free.

McNeer said he encourages all senior citizens in the Newton area to take advantage of the pass, as showing up for these events serves several purposes.

“It allows the schools to show a little payback to those who have reached retirement age,” McNeer said. “They’ve put a lot of time and energy into the community over the years. It also

allows young people to see there are folks in town that support what they do.”

Newton High School Activities Director Scott Garvis said the card has been around longer than the three years he’s been there.

“Many of our young people do community service, so it’s nice to have people show up for their events,” Garvis said. “It’s nice for them to know the community cares about what they’re doing.”

McNeer said he isn’t sure who came up with the idea, but he thinks it was a good one.

“It doesn’t cost the schools anything extra to do it,” McNeer said. “And everyone who shows up tends to buy drinks and popcorn once they get there.”

McNeer, who will turn 81 in January, said he’s been retired for about 22 years. He said he didn’t have the chance to do many a c tivities during his high school years.

“My football career lasted exactly one day,” McNeer said. “When I got home, my father asked where I’d been, and when I told him, he said ‘Who told you that you could go out for football?’ So that was the end of that.”

Garvis said he knows some senior citizens have rarely missed a PASS | 3A

Sample a bite at Taste of Monroe

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Bring your appetite to the Taste of Monroe event starting at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Monroe Public Library, 416 Buchanan St. The event, which features samples from community members and is put on by Friends of Monroe Public Library, also has a basket raffle to help raise funds for the library.

“A lot of people from the community will bring treats or a recipe, like soup, for everyone to taste,” said Brenda Lanser, library director.

The event is in its fifth year and has various themes to help raise money. Past items in-

cluded decorated trees that were auctioned off, Christmas wreaths for purchase and last year featured a decoration garage sale. There have also been vendors present with items for sale.

This year, 20 baskets have been donated for auction with funds going to the library. Several organizations such as the Key Club, 4-H group the Lucky L’s, the Monroe Cooking Club and the Quality Chicks created unique baskets filled with items ranging from a “Save the Monarch” theme from Quality Chicks to a movie night in from the Lucky L’s. Private individuals in the community also donated baskets with wine themes and

children’s baskets.

The raffle tickets can be purchased for $1 each or six for $5 at the library. Each ticket can be placed in a bucket coordinating with the basket and they plan to draw the winners at the end of the event, sometime in the early afternoon.

“The Friends of the Monroe Public Library will give money towards programming for the library. It is definitely a need because we have lots of after school kids and it also helps pay for the summer reading program,” Lanser said.

Most of the money has gone toward various programs that the library provides for the community. In addition,

Practical Farmers of Iowa hosts beehive farminar in Lynnville Newton Daily News Practical Farmers of Iowa will host a farminar “To Beeor Not to Bee-Keep: What are Your Options?” from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 9 in Lynnville open to everyone interested.

Participants will be asking questions of presenters in real-time. Any computer with an Internet connection may be used to participate. This farming will be presented by Adam Ebert, Susan Yario and Cheryl Daman.

This event is for farmers who like the idea of having beehives on their property, but aren’t sure if they are ready or willing to manage their own hives.

Adam Ebert of Ebert Honey Company in Lynnville will talk about what it takes to keep your own bees, then discuss with Susan Yario and Cheryl Daman of Heartfelt Heirloom Farm in Springville their beehive-hosting arrangement.

Ebert will also discuss farmer questions and concerns, how to find a beekeeper in your area, and what to expect from and ask of your tenant beekeeper.

Bert, Yario and Daman are enrolled in Practical Farmers’ Savings Incentive Program.

Farminars are led by farmers, and many are presented in a “fish-bowl” format where attendees listen as a farmer or business expert answers a beginning farmer’s questions.

File Photo Andy Ebert and Ebert Honey Company of Lynnville will host an online seminar by Practical Farmers of Iowa about how to manage a bee farm.

To participate, visit www. practicalfarmers.org/farminar, click the link to connect and sign in as “Guest.” Pre-registration is not required, but those who register will receive

reminder emails one week and one day in advance.

All upcoming farminars, as well as free podcasts of past farminars, are also available at this link.

In Brief

Cold a challenge for remaining harvest DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the weekly Iowa crop progress and condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Harvest is nearing completion with 92 percent of corn and 98 percent of soybeans harvested. Unfortunately, the snow and bitter cold weather creates challenges for farmers that still have crop in the field,” Northey said.

“Phenomenal harvest progress has been made the past two weeks and farmers are now nearly on pace with the five-year average, with 82 percent of the corn and 96 percent of soybeans out of the field,” Northey said. “Southwest and south-central Iowa continue to be most affected by weather delays and farmers in those regions have only been able to harvest 69 and 67 percent of corn as a result of the weather challenges.”

Cold temperatures and snow halted most other activities during the week, but some corn stalks were baled, and manure hauled.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 6 percent short, 88 percent adequate, and 6 percent surplus. Ninety-two percent of Iowa’s corn acreage was harvested. This was the first time this season that corn harvest was ahead of the normal pace. Corn harvest in south central Iowa continued to trail behind the rest of the state with only 79 percent complete.

Grain movement from farm to elevator was rated 48 percent moderate to heavy, dropping 12 percentage points from the previous week. Off-farm grain storage availability was rated at 84 percent adequate to surplus. On-farm grain storage availability was 79 percent adequate to surplus.

Hay and roughage supplies were estimated at 97 percent adequate to surplus. Cold and snowy conditions tested livestock, and some farmers have started to feed hay.

Microloan cap grows to $50,000 through Dec. 8 DES MOINES— Iowa Farm Service Agency State Executive Director John R. Whitaker reminds farmers that the FSA borrowing limit for microloans increased today from $35,000 to $50,000.

Microloans offer borrowers simplified lending with less paperwork. Whitaker said it makes borrowing from FSA a “first opportunity” to farm or quickly expand existing operations.

“This will help more people because of new flexibilities created by the 2014 Farm Bill,” Whitaker said. “We’re especially excited in Iowa, because we want to encourage more beginners and young people, especially those from historically underserved communities, to consider farming as a way to become independent businessmen and women. It’s a rewarding way to build or expand a family operation.”

The microloan change allows beginning, small and mid-sized farmers to access an additional $15,000 in loans using a simplified application pro-

cess with up to seven years to repay. Microloans are part of USDA’s continued commitment to small and midsized farming operations.

To complement the microloan program additional changes to FSA eligibility requirements will enhance beginning farmers access to land, a key barrier to entry level producers. FSA policies related to farm experience have changed so that other types of skills may be considered to meet the direct farming experience required for farm ownership loan eligibility. Operation or management of non-farm businesses, leadership positions while serving in the military or advanced education in an agricultural field will now count towards the experience applicants need to show when applying for farm ownership loans.

“If you want to comment on our changes to the microloan and loan eligibility, you have an opportunity to share suggestions,” Whitaker said.

The comment period runs through Dec. 8.

Daily News welcomes new staff reporter Newton Daily News The Newton Daily News welcomes the newest member of its team as Jason W. Brooks joins the paper this week as a staff reporter.

A native of the Washington, D.C., area, Brooks’ beginning in newspapers started in middle school. He lived and worked in southern California for many years before relocating to New Mexico in 2001. There, he com-

pleted his journalism degree at the University of New Mexico, working for the Albuquerque Journal and other New Mexico papers before deciding to relocate Brooks to Nebraska in 2013.

Brooks’ most recent position was as sports editor of the Wash-

ington County Enterprise and Pilot-Tribune, covering three Nebraska high schools near Omaha.

Most of Brooks’ experience has been with high school and youth sports, but he has reported on many K-12 education issues, which will make for an easy transition to the education beat at the Daily News.

Brooks has won National Newspaper Association awards for both photography and writing.

NHS chemistry classes tour local business

Continued from Page 1A home football or basketball game in 30 or more years of attending Newton schools events. He said community support from the oldest local residents isn’t limited to athletics.

“I’ve been in schools that had as many as 3,000 kids or as few as 400, and Newton is among the best at supporting Fine Arts,” Garvis said. “Newton (High School) is a little over 800 in enrollment, and the amount of people who come out for the Fine Arts events is tremendous.”

Garvis said all a senior citizen needs to do is come to the front desk at Newton High School and ask for lifetime pass. He said the staff there will most likely take their word that they’re 62 or older and a resident of Newton or Kellogg, but bringing a photo ID certainly wouldn’t hurt.

McNeer said he really isn’t sure how many other school districts let all senior citizens into events for free. Many districts do offer discounts.

“It’s one of the best-kept secrets in this community,” McNeer said. “And I think it’s a delightful thing.”

Keeping Me on My Toes

Thinking positive

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Nov. 18, 2014

With snow on the ground and temperatures in single digits, winter seems to be officially here, even if not on the calendar for another month. I am not a hater of winter or the chilly temps. I love having four seasons even if my two favorites always seem to be the shortest. Snow isn’t even so bad, in moderation.

What I could do without is the sub-zero temperatures with icy gusts of wind to go along with it. There is no fun to be had when the wind is swirling and you can’t see past the front door. Also, bundling up the girls to go outside is toward the bottom of my favor-

ites list. Coats, hats, scarves and gloves — the kind where you have to work diligently to get each little finger in its correct slot — along with boots and sometimes snow pants are a daily routine I won’t be sorry to give up come spring.

Winter does have some fun parts, especially when kids are involved. Watching both my girls experience snow for the first time is an entertaining memory. Their first steps on top of inches of snow before their foot sinks down to the ground and the look on their face that the ground is not as sturdy as it used to be was priceless. Face fulls of snow,

snowmen and snow angels are all fun when the sun is shining. I thoroughly enjoyed the proud look on my oldest’s face when she built her first snow man and her constant concern as it slowly melted to a puddle.

The cold weather also brings the holidays, which as stressful as they can be, are a great time with friends and family. Crazy travel schedules and cranky kids aside, seeing extended family and partaking in amazing food make it all worth it.

It is also a great excuse to do a little extra shopping for cute holiday outfits for the

girls to wear to each event. I have to admit my oldest already has her Christmas dress in the closet and I have been keeping my eye out for a coordinating piece for my youngest.

With winter only in its infancy for the year, I’m sure my rosy outlook will darken as the snow piles up and the mercury falls. Talk to me after the holidays and I may be ready for a vacation to somewhere sunny and warm or at least without snow.

Grateful for swift help at Skiff Judy Wittenberg Newton I want to thank all those kind people who helped me Thurs-

day when I fell over backwards in front of Skiff Medical Center and was unable to get up.

Thank you to the kind gentleman who happened to be walking my direction, to the people in cars who stopped to help me

and the two nurses from the ER who got me back on my feet.

We have a wonderful community and hospital! If I had to fall, I certainly was in a good place.

I’m fine and no worse for the fall.

Thank you all.

Maytag heritage should be celebrated Kathy Richardson Newton On Sept. 26, Kate Malott had an excellent article in the Newton Daily News titled “Finding Out about Fred. It was a well-written short biography on Fred Maytag, basically about his family lineage and the effects of this family on the city of Newton.

A few weeks after that was an article by Linda Bacon of the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau about Maytag Dairy Farms.

Oct. 7 gave us an article that downtown Newton lands historic designation. A quote from that article, “The committee’s research showed the best way to move forward was to pitch downtown’s mid-century architectural aesthetic, which was influenced by the success of the Maytag Company and the city’s preparation for it’s centennial in 1957.” “(McDowell) was able to put together a good case to show that the washing machine industry influenced a lot of who we are,” the letter also stated.

There’s even a Facebook page “You Know You’re From Newton” that has many posts and pictures of the history of Maytag.

My question, and concern is simple. Why isn’t the heritage of Maytag celebrated and capitalized on by the city every year? It’s no se-

cret that we are no longer a booming town, with great financial loss when Maytag left, but regardless, Maytag is a staple to our community and our history everywhere we turn.

Why not structure an event every year called “Maytag Days?”

There could be tours of everything Maytag touched, as far as structures, developments, donations and homes the Maytag family built.

There could be so many activities downtown and at Maytag Park. It would definitely be a family affair, restaurants and businesses open for financial gain; booths could be set up for sharing or selling of Maytag memorabilia like old pictures, clothing, model cars and trucks; and there could be activities galore for children and people wanting to reconnect.

Books about the history of the business, family and their influence could be made and sold. The books could be sold year round at hotels, convenience stores and anywhere else that tourists visiting the state of Iowa could purchase them.

I’ve been learning many interesting facts about the Maytag family.

Just recently, I learned that because of the Maytag family, built a zoo, one that is still operating, in Phoenix, Az. The zoo opened in 1962 and is the largest privately owned, non-profit in the United States.

The zoo was founded by Robert Maytag of the “Maytag family” and

operates on 125 acres of land in the Papago Park area of Phoenix.

Maytag also founded the Arizona Zoological Society. Mr. Maytag died several months before the zoo opened in November 1962 and the name of the zoo was changed to The Phoenix Zoo. The Maytags were influential in the development of the YMCA, the creation of Maytag Park, and the local gun club, which is still in operation today. They were also very involved in the development of Rock Creek Lake and State Park. Maytag was a state senator.

People love to reconnect. Why not have a weekend where everyone is invited, to participate and have fun? History is being lost, and we need to bring this back into the spotlight of Newton so that our children, grandchildren and everyone who visits Newton will have these memories.

It seems that hardly a day goes by that someone, somewhere isn’t speaking of Maytag or coming up with a memory.

Please, would someone from the city, or Convention and Visitors Bureau take the lead and make this an annual event?

I would truly appreciate a reply from someone of the afore mentioned, and a discussion of how this can move forward and make this happen.

It’s our history, don’t let it die.

And the city could once again profit from the Maytag family.

A European spacecraft landed on a comet Wednesday.

At 57, I guess I’m too old to matter, but I rememb e r when it seemed t h a t o n l y Americ a n s By Marc Dion did that kind of thing.

And, because I live in America, I kinda wonder what we were doing when the Europeans were figuring out how to land a spaceship on a comet hundreds of millions of miles away.

Maybe we were arguing about whether it’s the “Democrat Party” or the “Democratic Party.”

Or we could have been deciding if it’s “suicide bomber” or “homicide bomber.”

Maybe we were writing a new “non-gender specific” version of the “Hail Mary.”

Or perhaps we were passing legislation aimed at forestalling the spread of Sharia Law in Alabama.

Ya never know.

When those pointyheaded can-do European engineers were figuring out how to land a spaceship on a comet, maybe we were fighting the battle for “Merry Christmas” and against “Happy Holidays.”

Maybe we were suppressing imaginary voter fraud or arguing about the relative happiness of slaves in the Old South.

They loved it or they didn’t. Pick a side. It’s important.

We might have been scrapping about unisex bathrooms or gay marriage or breastfeeding in public. Then again, we might have been busied by another round of the “why young people shouldn’t wear baggy jeans” discussion.

We coulda been arguing about whether the world was created

hundreds of millions of years ago or whether God whipped it up in exactly seven 24-hour days sometime before the American Revolution.

Of course, maybe it wasn’t something that trivial. Maybe we were trying to decide where the president was really born, in America, in Kenya or in the heart of Hell.

Yeah. Used to be America was a scientist with a high brow and a crisp white lab coat, or maybe a guy in work clothes with a lunch bucket.

Now, America is a person on the couch with talk radio on speed dial or some latheredup boondock politician screaming dire warnings about the Federal Reserve Bank, Mexicans and (yes, still) fluoride in your water.

America used to do it first and best and biggest. Now, we argue about it longer and harder and dumber.

Our supposed primacy in the world exists only in that we will still send our young people to die in purposeless, endless wars started by people who have spent their political careers arguing about whether you should be allowed to pray before high school football games.

You wanna build a new kind of spaceship in America, first you gotta decide if it’s a Republican or Democrat spaceship. Then, you gotta decide if it’s a liberal or conservative spaceship. Then, you gotta decide if it’s a Christian spaceship with tradition values.

Newton Main Street announces ‘Shop Small’ holiday retail promotion

Newton Main Street has partnered with Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce members and the Centre for the Arts and Artists to organize a “Shop Small” holiday retail promotion.

“Shop Small” features cash coupons from participating downtown retailers and a pop-up art show and sale hosted by the Centre for the Arts and Artists.

The promotion celebrates Small Business Saturday, which encourages people to support small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Customers will receive cash coupons from retailers for purchases made between Nov. 27 and Dec. 7, and can redeem the

coupons at the same store between Dec. 8 and Dec. 24. The art show will be a one-day event, from noon to 4 p.m. Nov. 29 at the former Pappy’s Antique Mall, 103 First Ave. W. “Our goal is to get people downtown and showcase the unique gift options offered by downtown retailers and area artists,” said Andrew Bassman, executive director of the Newton Main Street Partnership.

Participating retailers have two options for coupons: for every $25 spent, a customer receives a $5 cash coupon, or for every $10 spent, a customer receives a $1 cash coupon. Retailers can put additional restric-

tions on use of the coupons.

At the art show, more than 20 artists will display their work and have items for sale. The art show will also have a children’s activity, making holiday ornaments, as a fundraiser for the Centre for the Arts and Artists, and bakery sweets for sale.

“We are very excited to have the Centre for the Arts and Artists, Chamber of Commerce members and downtown business owners partnering with Main Street to make this event happen,” Bassman said. “The combination presents a distinct holiday shopping experience unlike what is available anyplace else.”

Widow with younger lover is uneasy about their future

DEAR ABBY: I am a widow who has fallen in love with a wonderful man who is almost 30 years my junior. He proclaims his love for me every day, and I know it’s real. I have been warned by others to be aware of “devious males on the make for comfortably situated widows.”

After discussing it with the man, I have determined this is not his motive.

Right now, we’re good friends who love each other’s company. If marriage is in the future for us, I’m afraid of the age factor. He is not. Could you comment and give me some guidance? — CAUTIOUS IN KANSAS DEAR CAUTIOUS: Everyone knows there are devious males — and females — out there, but not all men are predators. If your friend is financially independent, then it’s unlikely he’s looking for a sugar mama. While it is unusual, I know several couples in which the wife is considerably older than the husband, and they seem very happy together.

If and when you plan to marry, it makes sense to discuss this with your attorney and have a prenuptial agreement created.

If your friend has no ulterior motives, he will understand it’s for the protection of both of you and sign it. You have only one life to live — so live it without worrying about what others may think.

DEAR ABBY: I just opened my social media account and saw a friend had posted her daughter’s report card — all A’s. She then went on to say how proud she was of her because she is also co-captain of her school’s volleyball team, and mentoring other students, etc. You get the picture.

My son is suffering from depression and social anxiety, and we are fighting to keep him from failing all his classes. He’s going to therapy and is on medication.

Abby, isn’t it in poor taste to publicly show your child’s report card? My son used to get straight A’s before his depression, and I would have never posted his grades. Now I am becoming resentful of

friends whose kids are doing well. What advice can you give me besides not opening up my social media account again? — BAD FEELINGS DEAR BAD FEELINGS: I hope you realize that what this friend is doing is the same as parents who plaster bumper stickers on their vehicles that read “MY CHILD IS AN HONOR STUDENT.” If this woman’s posts upset you because of the challenges your son is dealing with, customize your social media feed to omit posts from her. That way you won’t have to cut yourself off from social media entirely.

DEAR ABBY: Have you ever — out of the blue — thought of someone you hadn’t seen, heard from or thought of in a long time, and later discovered they died around that time? This has happened to me more times than I can count. No one I have spoken with — friends or family — has experienced this. Have you ever heard of this phenomenon, and is there a name for it? — MISS J. IN OKLAHOMA DEAR MISS J.: I have never had that experience, but I have heard of the phenomenon. It’s called either ESP or coincidence, depending upon which psychic plane you dwell. However, I HAVE had friends “pop into my head” and thought I should give them a call, only to hear from them a few days later.

Maquoketa police want to use rifles on duty

MAQUOKETA — The city manager and police chief in Maquoketa are working on a new policy that would let officers use their own semi-automatic rifles while on duty. The city would also set up a loan program to let officers buy rifles. Police Chief Brad Koranda brought the idea before the City Council in September. He says the department’s current rifles are old and that allowing officers to use more modern rifles give them a better peace of mind while on patrol.

On Monday Leatha Slauson pleaded guilty in Cass County District Court in Atlantic to two counts of child endangerment, one of administering harmful substances, one of theft and one of unlawful possession of a prescription drug.

LITTLEPORT — Iowa authorities say a man has been hospitalized after accidentally shooting himself while hunting raccoons.

MASON CITY — More than a dozen motorcycles have been destroyed in a fire at a Harley-Davidson dealership in Mason City. Business owner Steve Minert says the Monday morning fire damaged a service support building and up to 20 motorcycles. It did not affect the business’ two main showrooms.

Police: Iowa man charged in random shootings The Associated Press PLEASANT HILL — A man with a handgun randomly targeted people while driving through a Des Moines suburb early Monday, shooting and injuring two men at separate locations and prompting several schools to tell students to stay home, authorities said.

Pete Jason Polson, 32, was taken into custody shortly after three shootings within 12 minutes were reported just after 6:30 a.m., Pleasant

Hill police spokesman Adam Choat said. Online records show Polson faces two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault-willful injury, one count of intimidation with a dangerous weapon and one count of possession of a weapon as a felon.

Polson is being held at the Polk County jail on $85,000 cash or surety bond. Court records do not list an attorney for him.

“He’s uncooperative with us,” Sgt. Paul Brown said of

Polson following his arrest.

“He won’t talk to us.”

Two men were hospitalized in the shootings — one was shot near a home, the other near his vehicle. A third man was shot at but not injured.

“At this time it seems random,” Choat said during a news conference. “The third location, he just pulled up and started firing on someone who was delivering a school book bag to his kid. ... Nobody was hit and he took off.”

The victims’ conditions

Iowa pastor back in the pulpit after quarantine MUSCATINE (AP) — A Muscatine pastor is back preaching at his church after spending three months in Liberia, where he worked in villages to teach people how to avoid spreading the disease.

The Rev. Saye Beipa of the Calvary Church was placed under a 21-day quarantine by the Muscatine County Health Department after returning to the U.S. last month. A nurse asked him if he had recently traveled to West Africa after he went to a local hospital for high blood pressure.

Sunday marked the first time Beipa was back in the pulpit since his visit to his native country of Liberia. He spoke of his time there, where he traveled to about 100 villages to help spread awareness of Ebola. The Follow on

virus has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

“The day you act careless, that’s the day you get it,” Beipa said, recalling memories of bodies taken out of buildings in plastic bags.

He said people feared Ebola wherever he traveled.

“The people were afraid,” he said. “They want their lives back.”

As far as he knows, Beipa said none of his family has contracted the virus. He said he routinely washed his hands and told others to do the same. Speaking to them in their local language, Beipa advised villagers to not shake hands or hug.

“It was important because when he got there, the whole country shut down, and he

didn’t want people to get contaminated with this Ebola thing,” said founder Tony Kona Fele of Saclepea Mah Development Association, a North Carolina-based nonprofit that funded Beipa’s travels.

He called Beipa a “wonderful guy who really believes in what he’s doing.”

Beipa said he wants to return to Liberia soon.

With many dead from the virus, his people face a new crisis, he said.

haven’t been released. Police would only say both men are in stable condition.

The suspect was driving a green SUV that has been linked to all the shootings, authorities said. He was taken into custody without incident, and Choat said a motive remains under investigation.

The shootings led the Southeast Polk Community School District to cancel classes Monday. Choat said there appears to be no link

between the shootings and earlier threats made on social media against a local high school.

Superintendent Craig Menozzi said classes likely will resume Tuesday with more security, and that all school district buildings will be searched by law enforcement as a precaution.

“We’re going to make sure as we reopen our schools that we’ll have a law enforcement presence,” Menozzi said.

Syngenta faces dozens of lawsuits over GMO seed The Associated Press DES MOINES — Agrochemicals giant Syngenta is facing a growing number of lawsuits challenging its release of a genetically modified corn seed that China had not approved for import, with losses to farmers estimated to be at least $1 billion.

More than 50 lawsuits have been filed in 11 major corn-growing states, including Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska with hundreds more being prepared. Some suits are from farmers represented by individual attorneys, others are class-action lawsuits representing hundreds

more.

A federal court panel that manages complex lawsuits involving large numbers of plaintiffs has scheduled a Dec. 4 hearing in Charleston, South Carolina, to decide where to consolidate the cases. It’s likely to be in Iowa or Illinois, according to Rick Paul, an attorney representing 13 farmers who filed suit in federal court in Iowa.

The legal dispute centers around Syngenta’s sale of a hybrid corn seed called Agrisure Viptera, which was genetically altered to contain a protein that kills corn-eating bugs such as earworms and cutworms. The U.S. Department of Agricul-

ture approved it in 2010, and Syngenta first sold it to farmers in 2011.

It has been industry practice for biotech seed developers to wait until major trade partners have approved new products before selling it widely, Paul said. But China, a growing importer of U.S. corn that refuses to buy genetically modified crops it hasn’t tested, had not approved Viptera.

China discovered the Viptera corn trait in several U.S. shipments in November 2013 and in February began rejecting the nation’s corn. It has rejected more than 130 million bushels as of late October, the lawsuits said.

Obama stakes final 2 years on climate change The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — With limited time still in power, President Barack Obama is staking his final two years on climate change, pushing the issue to the front of his agenda as he seeks to leave an imprint on the world that will endure after he’s gone.

It’s a strategy rooted not only in Obama’s long-stated concern about global warming, but also in political reality.

Two weeks ago, Obama watched his prospects for realizing his goals on education, wages and immigration all but evaporate as voters handed his party a stinging rebuke in the midterms, putting Republicans in full control of Congress for the remainder of his presidency. But on a trip last week to Asia and Australia, Obama sought — and found — fruitful opportunities to make a lasting difference on global warming.

In China, traditionally a

Supporters of oil pipeline scramble for last vote The Associated Press WASHINGTON — With the clock ticking, supporters of a Senate bill to approve the Keystone XL pipeline are still scrambling to find the last vote.

With 59 Senators publicly voicing support, the hunt was on for the 60th vote before a critical vote Tuesday to advance the measure. Maine independent Sen. Angus

King left the possibility open, telling reporters he was a “probable no.”

All 45 Republicans support it, and 11 Democrats have signed onto the bill, along with three others who have publicly said they will vote “yes.”

That leaves just one.

The issue has taken center stage in the waning days of this Congress in the hopes it will boost the prospects of Louisiana’s Senate candidates.

U.S. adversary on environmental issues, Obama set an ambitious new target for cutting future U.S. emissions as part of a landmark deal in which China will also rein in pollution. In Australia, he pledged $3 billion to help poorer nations address changing temperatures while prodding Australia’s prime minister to stop questioning the science of climate change.

“We’re showing there’s no excuse for other nations not to come together,” Obama

said in Brisbane, where he also pressed the issue with leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies.

The emphasis on climate isn’t all by choice.

Although Obama has long sought to rally action against climate change, White House aides say the issue has become even more attractive after the election because it’s one where Obama has considerable leverage to act without Congress. Foreign policy is largely the domain of presidents,

and at home, Obama has aggressively used his regulatory power to curb greenhouse gas emissions over fierce objections from Republicans and the energy industry.

“President Obama has made no secret that his climate crusade will proceed irrespective of what the American people want or what other global leaders caution,” said Laura Sheehan of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, which represents the coal industry.

Charles Manson plans prison wedding The Associated Press CORCORAN, Calif. — Mass murderer Charles Manson plans to marry a 26-year-old woman who left her Midwestern home and spent the past nine years trying to help exonerate him.

Afton Elaine Burton, the raven-haired brideto-be, said she loves the man convicted in the notorious murders of seven

people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate.

No date has been set, but a wedding coordinator has been assigned by the prison to handle the nuptials, and the couple has until early February to get married before they would have to reapply.

The Kings County marriage license, viewed Monday by The Associated Press, was issued Nov. 7 for the 80-year-

2

old Manson and Burton, who lives in Corcoran — the site of the prison — and maintains several websites advocating his innocence.

Burton, who goes by the name “Star,” told the AP that she and Manson will be married next month.

“Y’all can know that it’s true,” she said. “It’s going to happen.”

“I love him,” she added. “I’m with him. There’s

all kinds of things.”

However, as a life prisoner with no parole date, Manson is not entitled to family visits, a euphemism for conjugal visits.

So why would Burton marry him under those conditions?

She said she is interested in working on his case, and marrying him would allow her to get information not available to nonrelatives.

Kalkhoff to throw for Minnesota State

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Monday was a big day for Newton High senior Sarah Kalkhoff. In front of her parents, her high school head track coach and a few others, Kalkhoff signed a national letter of intent to compete in track and field at Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minn.

“I liked the coaching staff and the school. For track and field, it presents a great opportunity for me to go places and have a good throwing career,” Kalkhoff said of her decision to compete for the NCAA Division II Minnesota State.

Kalkhoff is Iowa’s Class 4A discus champion and Newton girls’ record holder in the event. She set that mark winning the 4A state championship in May. Kalkhoff won the event with a throw of 140 feet, 11 inches. As a sophomore, Kalkhoff finished second in the event at state.

Kalkhoff earned the Iowa Association of Track Coaches All-Elite honors and firstteam Class 4A state honors.

Making the decision now, clears the deck for Kalkhoff to concentrate on extending her Cardinal girls’ record in the discus and defending her state championship in the spring.

She signed the letter in front of her parents, Dave and Lorraine Kalkhoff, and NHS girls’ head track coach Rachel Tomas.

Also on hand were NHS

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Sarah Kalkhoff signs a national letter of intent to compete in track and field for Minnesota State University at Mankota, Minn., next year. On hand for the signing Monday afternoon at NHS were her parents Lorraine and Dave Kalkhoff and NHS girls’ head track coach Rachel Tomas (right).

Activities Director Scott Garvis, NHS Principal Bill Peters and Michele Heisdorffer, activities administrative assistant.

“Minnesota State has a good chemistry department,” Kalkhoff said. “I want to study biochemistry, so it has what I need acedemically.”

Over the summer, Kalkhoff spent time at an elite youth junior camp at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. She was among 20 up-and-com-

ing athletes working with OTC resident team coach Zygmunt Smalcerz in the weeklong camp.

Kalkhoff pointed to her work in the weight room and competition in weightlifting as major factors in her reaching her goal of a state championship in the discus in May. She said she plans to focus on weightlifting and throwing during her senior year at Newton.

“Minnesota State has a couple of really, really good throwing coaches and a strong strength and condi-

tioning program,” Kalkhoff said. “I met a couple of the throwers and they were very nice. I’m really happy with this decision.”

Under head coach Jen Blue, the MSU Maverick women qualified two individuals for the 2014 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

One was a thrower. The throwing coaches are Kevin Sanger and Todd Dejong.

Des Moines to host 2016 NCAA men’s tournament games DES MOINES (AP) — Des Moines will host first and second-round games of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament in 2016.

The NCAA announced Monday that Iowa’s capital city will be among eight sites to host earlyround games next season.

Landing such a prestigious event is a major coup for Des

Moines, which has hoped to host the NCAA tournament ever since

Wells Fargo Arena opened in 2005.

The arena hosted the NCAA women’s basketball tournament — which included legendar y Tennessee coach Pat Summitt ’s last game — and the NCAA wrestling championships in 2013.

Iowa State will ser ve as the tournament host, so the Cyclones can’t play in Des Moines in 2016.

This & That

Round ball now has my full attention Usually, it mid-November, I am entrenched in the football season and would be considered a casual basketball fan.

I don’t usually crank up the basketball fever until after Thanksgiving, but this season is already different.

For some reason, I can’t get enough basketball right now.

Maybe it’s because Iowa State By Troy Hyde football is 2-7. Newton Daily Or because the News Hawkeye gridders Sports Writer have sort of underachieved this season. I will still be fully aware of what’s happening on the football field, but I am more tuned into basketball season early this year.

The cold weather is certainly helping. The exterior temperature monitor in my SUV read 14 degrees on the way to my first high school basketball games of the season Monday.

That’s basketball weather.

The only thing missing was a few more inches of snow. And that’s a good thing.

Both Iowa and Iowa State are off to 2-0 starts after each picked up easy wins Monday. Pounding Georgia State and North Dakota State won’t draw many national headlines, but those two teams have RPIs at 81 and 78, respectively. So those will be considered decent wins on NCAA Tournament resumes come March.

Winning by 23 (Iowa State over Georgia State) and 31 (Iowa over NDSU) will only help.

Things will get tougher for both squads.

Iowa’s next opponent is Texas, which has an RPI of 37 and the Longhorns are ranked 10th by the Associated Press.

That will be the first true national test for the Hawkeyes as they will play the game at Madison Square Garden.

CMB’s Kemp headlines Class 2A District 7 squad Raiders land six on all-district first team, PCM has five on first team

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s Bryce Kemp caught eight touchdowns, rushed for three scores and even threw for one. Defensively, he picked off three passes and returned two for touchdowns and also took a kickoff return to paydirt.

There wasn’t much the Raider senior and Eastern Michigan recruit didn’t do on the field during CMB’s record-setting season.

For that, Kemp was named a unanimous first-team selection and was voted as the Class 2A District 7 Offensive Player of the Year.

CMB went 9-0 during the regular season for the first time in program history and finished the season 10-1.

That allowed 13 Raiders to be honored in some way when the all-district teams were released Saturday.

CMB’s Rob Luther was voted district Coach of the Year and Joey Nissen was named Kicker of the Year.

Kemp

Stover

PCM also made the playoffs out of District 7 and landed nine alldistrict selections for its efforts. The most notable selections for the Mustangs included quarterback Logan Gilman, tailback Ronnie Marshall and defensive back Luke Pendroy.

Kemp and Brady Stover were both selected as first-team wide receivers for the Raiders.

Kemp hauled in 46 passes for 950 yards and eight scores but also rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns, completed his only pass of the season for a 10-yard touchdown and also led the Raiders in tackles and scored twice off interceptions.

The Raider senior had 69 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and four

Weltha

Gilman

Girard

Marshall

sacks on defense and also averaged more than 21 yards per kickoff return while also scoring a touchdown.

Stover was just as effective as a wideout.

He snatched a teambest 63 catches for 902 yards and eight scores.

He completed three passes for 40 yards and a touchdown as a thrower and also had 32 tackles and 10 interceptions as a defensive back.

The rest of the Raider

Robertson

Littell

Nissen

Pendroy

Appelgate

Warrick

first-teamers included offensive linemen Clayton Weltha and Patrick Girard, linebacker Charles Robertson and defensive back Nick Littell.

Weltha and Girard were the keys up front in leading CMB to a big offensive season. Weltha also was sixth in the district with 68 tackles and two sacks on defense.

Littel had 56 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and two sacks from his

defensive back position, while Robertson also had 50.5 tackles, seven tackles for loss and two sacks.

Nissen hit 11 field goals and recorded 20 touchbacks as a kicker this season. He also was 41-of-44 in extra points and his longest field goal covered 42 yards.

Five other Raiders landed on the second team. That group included sophomore quarterback Hunter Mc-

Whirter, junior tailback Blake Coughenour, offensive lineman Andrew Lindamoen, defensive lineman John Engle and defensive back Jake Hennick.

McWhirter was third in the league with 1,716 passing yards and he also had 12 touchdown passes, while rushing for 372 yards and six more scores.

Coughenour gained 847 yards and scored 11 touchdowns on the ground, while also collecting 280 receiving yards and a touchdown in the passing game.

Hennick had 35.5 tackles on defense, while Engle added 28.5 tackles, three sacks and two fumble recoveries.

PCM finished 4-6 on the season but advanced to the playoffs as the district’s fourth seed.

The Mustangs’ high octane passing offense was led by Gilman, who led the league with 2,518 passing yards and a district-best 21 touchdown passes.

The offense didn’t end with GIlman though.

Steelers rally from 11 down, defeat division rival Titans NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — This time, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat their struggling opponent.

Ben Roethlisberger threw a 12yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown with 9:01 left, and the Steelers edged the Tennessee Titans 2724 on Monday night.

The Steelers (7-4) staged an impressive rally in the second half to take sole possession of second in Roethlisberger the successful AFC North heading into their bye. Le’Veon Bell ran for 204 yards and a TD, and William Gay returned an interception 28 yards for a score. Shaun Suisham kicked two field goals.

“I think we’re only going to get stronger,” Bell said. “We’ve obviously still got to get better, work as a team.

But we’re going to enjoy the week off.

It’s well deserved, well needed. We’re going to enjoy it and get back to work when we need to.”

Roethlisberger had never beaten the Titans at LP Field, missing the Steelers’ win here in 2010. With Bell running through and over the Titans, the Steelers took the pressure off Big Ben by holding the ball for 39 minutes, 49 seconds with a 386-312 edge in total offense.

“He got rolling, and we couldn’t make a play and that’s disappoint-

Honors Continued from Page 1B Marshall, the Mustangs’ tailback, also had a big year, gaining 1,092 yards and scoring 16 touchdowns on the ground, while also collecting 285 passing yards and two scores.

Marshall’s rushing yards, rushing touchdowns and 108 points were all second to Albia’s Carter Isley.

Pendroy led the Mustangs and was third in the district with 75 tackles and he also had a pick and two fumble recoveries.

Hayes Appelgate

Hoops Continued from Page 1B Iowa appears to be better than last year even without Roy Devyn Marble. Aaron White looks to be poised to take that next step and you can already see the improvements that Anthony Clemmons and Jarrod Uthoff made in the offseason.

This might be Fran’s best team yet when you throw in returners Mike Gesell, Adam Woodbury, Gabe Olaseni, Josh Oglesby and Peter Jok and newbies Trey Dickerson and Dom Uhl. It will need to be as the preseason schedule is tougher, too.

Iowa State is not yet at full strength.

Matt Thomas and Adbel Nader have yet to play a game this season and Jameel McKay won’t be available until December due to NCAA transfer rules.

Georges Niang is the best player in the state of Iowa at this present time. It’s hard to not like his game.

He lost a ton of weight this offseason, too.

I thought he used his “weight” to his advantage during his first two seasons at ISU so I am not sure if losing weight is a good thing

ing,” Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “That’s the way it went. We tried a lot of different things to try to stop their run game.”

The Titans (2-8) blew a 24-13 lead in their fourth consecutive loss. They sacked Roethlisberger five times and intercepted a pass in the end zone.

Zach Mettenberger threw for 263 yards and two touchdown passes, and fellow rookie Bishop Sankey ran for another score.

But Tennessee’s offense fizzled in the fourth quarter. When Pittsburgh got the ball back with 6:58 left, the Steelers didn’t give it back and knelt out for the win.

“We feel very close,” Mettenberger said. “We’re not doing enough to win football games. But rookie running back, rookie left tackle, rookie quarterback, rookie middle linebacker. We’re doing a lot of good things.”

Mettenberger and the Titans got off to an awful start, and then erased a 10-0 deficit with an impressive flurry.

Suisham also had a 49-yarder for the first score of the game, and Gay picked off Mettenberger on the Titans’ first offensive play and returned it for the TD. Roethlisberger had been intercepted only five times this season. But the Titans sacked him three times in the second quarter, and Jason McCourty picked off a pass intended for Brown in the end zone with 44 seconds left in the first half.

also made the first team as a defensive lineman after collecting 29 tackles, intercepting two passes and scoring one defensive touchdown.

The final first-team selection for the Mustangs was offensive lineman Conner Warrick.

The four secondteam selections for PCM included wideout Luke Greiner, offensive lineman Ethan Thomas, linebacker Davis Herndon and defensive back Skylar Koder.

Greiner was second on the team and fifth in the league in both catches (45) and receiving yards (671) while

also scoring six touchdowns.

Herndon and Koder had 50.5 and 31 tackles, respectively, for the Mustang defense.

Albia’s Ryan Sarver was voted as the district’s Defensive MVP. Sarver led the league with 99.5 tackles, 20 tackles for loss and eight sacks.

Jacob Jones of Davis County was the punter of the year. Jones averaged 37.5 yards per punt over his 44 attempts and had a long of 56.

or a bad thing yet.

Time will tell.

Either way, Iowa State’s No. 14 ranking is legitimate as the Cyclones and the fans will expect another deep run in the tournament.

With expectations high in both Iowa City and Ames and Northern Iowa having its best team in about five years, college hoop fans in Iowa will have something to cheer for this winter.

And they’ll really have something to look forward to in 2016 after the NCAA awarded Des Moines with the first and second rounds of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Landing this kind of event is a breakthrough for the city and state.

Wells Fargo Arena opened in downtown Des Moines in 2005 and representatives there had a long-term plan of one day hosting a men’s national tourney and it came to fruition Monday.

Des Moines will be one of eight sites in the nation to host first- and second-round games.

The city supported the women’s hoops tourney, the NCAA wrestling championships and other big events very well. There is no doubt it will support this one even more.

I had a chance to

check a few local girls basketball teams Monday at a jamboree held at Lynnville-Sully.

Prairie City-Monroe took on Montezuma and dominated from the opening tip.

The Mustangs have high expectations this year and they showed why as they jumped out to a quick start and never let off the gas during a 43-8 win.

Colfax-Mingo also took on LynnvilleSully in the night’s final contest.

The Hawks are coming off a state tournament appearance and the Tigherhawks are young and inexperienced.

The game went as expected with L-S winning 356.

Lynnville-Sully could be better than last year as it welcomes back senior Shelby Davis, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. The Hawks scored 35 points in a half and did not have the services of potential starter Madison Rasmussen, who was out with an injury.

Football is not over yet. And I don’t want it to be.

But basketball is here and I have never been more ready.

Iowa’s height too much for smaller North Dakota State IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s centers controlled the smaller North Dakota State one half at a time.

Gabe Olaseni had 14 points and 11 rebounds a n d A d a m Uthoff Wo o d bury added 10 points and 11 rebounds as Iowa rolled to an 87-56 win over North Dakota State on Monday night.

All of Woodbury’s scoring game in the first half. All of Olaseni’s points came in the second.

“We had a size advantage and we wanted to get the ball inside,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “Moving forward, I think it’s good. We have to establish that we can run our offense through the post.”

Jarrod Uthoff scored

12 points and Aaron White added 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists for the Hawkeyes (2-0).

Lawrence Alexander scored 21 points on 6-of-10 3-point shooting to lead the Bison (0-2).

The Hawkeyes used a 27-2 run in the middle of the game to pull away from North Dakota State.

The Bison shot only 26.9 percent from the floor, including a sixminute scoreless stretch to open the second half.

Woodbury and Olaseni give McCaffery two options at center. McCaffery even played the duo together for a short stretch on Monday.

Olaseni came off the bench to record his fifth career double-double.

He shot 4-of-6 from the field, 6-of-8 from the foul line and blocked two shots. All of his 14 points came in the second half.

Woodbury’s 11 re-

bounds tied a career high.

“I didn’t know I had it until coach told me,” Woodbury said of his first double-double. “A double-double is always good, but I like to think I bring more to the court than stats. I try to impact the game wherever I can.”

Anthony Clemmons had 11 points and scored in double figures for the second straight game after reaching it only once last season.

Clemmons hit a career-best three 3-pointers against North Dakota State.

The junior is 5-of-6 from 3 in two games this year — one shy from his total all of last season.

The Hawkeyes committed 18 turnovers, but shot 53.6 percent from the field and made 18of-20 free throws.

North Dakota starters Carlin Dupree, Kory Brown and A.J. Jackson combined to make 4 of 29 field goals.

Morris’ big night, Cyclones’ big finish keeps rated ISU unbeaten AMES (AP) — Iowa State is hoping sophomore point guard Monte Morris can blossom into one of the Big 12’s best players this season.

Morris sure looked like a star on Hoiberg Monday.

Morris scored a career-high 19 points with nine assists and no turnovers and 14th-ranked Iowa State rolled past Georgia State 81-58 on Monday night.

“He was awesome,” Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. “He makes us go.”

Naz Long added 17 for the Cyclones (2-0), who outscored the Panthers by 17 points in the second half.

Iowa State led by just

two before going on a 31-13 run that put the game out of reach. Long keyed the stretch with a pair of 3s as the Cyclones pushed their lead to as much as 73-49.

R.J. Hunter had 21 for Georgia State (11). The Panthers were a unanimous pick to win the Sun Belt for the second year in a row.

From the moment Iowa State’s schedule came out, its matchup with Georgia State seemed to be by far the toughest against a nonPower 5 school.

The Panthers went 25-9 last season and their backcourt; Ryan Harrow, R.J. Hunter and Kevin Ware, can match up with nearly anyone in the country.

Georgia State showed why it’s expected to cruise through its own league — at least for about a half.

The Cyclones missed 11 of their first 15 3s

and led by just two late in the first half.

But Iowa State’s depth and frenetic pace eventually wore down the Panthers.

“That was the key at halftime. We wanted to come out with better pace and we did in the second half. Got good shots. Got the ball moving,” Morris said.

Long buried his fourth 3 of the game and Bryce Dejean-Jones hit a transition layup to put the Cyclones up 42-29 early in the second half.

Dejean-Jones followed with another transition layup, and Iowa State’s lead was 56-40 with 13:25 left.

Dejean-Jones and Dustin Hogue each had 15 points for the Cyclones.

“The biggest thing was that we had a nice stretch where we got stops and we could get out and run,” Hoiberg said.

No. 6 Stanford stuns No. 1 UConn STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Days before this game, Geno Auriemma credited Stanford and Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerveer for continuing to play Connecticut when many teams no longer see the point in being beat up by the best program in women’s basketball.

Auriemma understands the importance of such games for both sides, and even a little bit more so after the Cardinal’s latest preseason stunner.

“What games like today illustrate is how damn hard it is to go undefeated,” Auriemma said. “We didn’t just lose to a team that doesn’t have any good players. Sometimes, because of who we are, the biggest story is that we lost not that Stanford played great and won, and that would be unfortunate. That would be a disservice to Stanford, but that’s the reality, that’s

the world that we’re in.”

Amber Orrange made a go-ahead jumper with 1:38 left in overtime and the tying 3-pointer with 1.4 seconds remaining in regulation to send No. 6 Stanford to the 88-86 upset of No. 1 UConn on Monday night and end the Huskies 47-game winning streak.

“I think people got their money’s worth in that game,” VanDerveer said.

Lili Thompson scored 24 points and Orrange 17 for Stanford (20), which has watched both Chiney and Nneka Ogwumike depart to the WNBA as top picks over the last few seasons.

Breanna Stewart scored 23 points and Saniya Chong had 20 for the Huskies (1-1), who lost for the first time in November since falling to North Carolina on Nov. 21, 2004.

NFL suspends Peterson for at least rest of season MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The NFL has suspended Adrian Peterson without pay for at least the rest of the season.

The league said Tuesday it informed the Minnesota Vikings running back he will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15 for violating the NFL personal conduct policy.

The NFL Players Association

quickly announced its plan to appeal the punishment.

Peterson pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless assault in Texas for injuries to his 4-year-old son he was disciplining. He had been on paid leave from the team since Sept. 17.

Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Aug. 28 an enhanced crackdown on players involved with domestic violence.

The annual conjunction of the sun and Saturn is like a physician’s checkup of the mind, body and spirit. The good doctor asks: You can usually walk away from external conflict, but what do you do when the conflict is inside you? Learning how to mentally and spiritually “walk away” is a valuable skill to pick up in the weeks to come.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 18). It’s a lucrative year, but money is not what matters to you most.

Success means freedom from pressure. In January, you can have what you want in a relationship; you just have to ask directly. Buy property in February or June. April combines travel and love for exciting memories.

Singles get worthy offers in August. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 3, 17, 39, 4 and 35.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re comfortable functioning in situations where you don’t (and quite possibly no one does) have the answers.

Accepting the unknown

(without freaking out) is a life skill that will take you far.

joy and seek out to add to their team. This explains your recent popularity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As soon as ennui sets in, go out and master something new. Otherwise, you’ll succumb to temptation and distraction instead of using your restless energy constructively.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t let tranquility lull you into dropping your guard. By the same token, when things get heated, don’t succumb to the agitation around you.

Stay calm so you can recognize the opportunities that disruption always creates.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The current Saturn configuration gives you pause.

The reflective mood will produce a valuable insight, provide profound meaning or renew your sense of purpose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). One reason it’s important to prepare for a variety of outcomes is that it teaches you not to hang on too tightly to any one of them. Since most of your preparations won’t directly apply, you can maintain a flexible attitude.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When intelligence is teamed with an easy-going attitude, the result is a personality that many en-

TAURUS (April 20May 20). The facts and circumstances you’re dealing with today are not inherently true or false — it’s your thinking that makes them true or false.

Spin your mind in an empowering direction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A temporary loss of motivation will cause soul searching. Once you set clear objectives, a new sense of purpose will whoosh into your being, and the old passion and drive will ignite anew.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People may not respond to your offerings in polite, appropriate or expected ways. If you can

live without immediate feedback, you’ll be better off. This takes a deep sense of inner security and self-trust.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

If you always listen to feedback, you’ll fail. If you never listen to feedback, you’ll fail. The key is to see the long view, trust yourself and heed your intuitive leanings to incorporate or ignore the feedback.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Your powers of imagination are strong, and when you escape, you go to a happy, exciting place in your mind.

This is the secret to your upbeat mood and unstoppable vitality.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Winners are risk takers. Sometimes it takes going too far to know how far you can go. So if you cross boundaries and the result is less than optimal, chalk it up to experience.
