Kayla Langmaid/Daily News The owner and CEO of Hanson Directories, Bill Hansen has retired and has sold the 43-year family business to DirecTech, a Chicago firm, but there are no major changes planned for the Newton facility’s day-to-day operations.

Hanson Directories sold to Chicago firm Bill Hanson retires after 40 years

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Bill Hanson, the owner and CEO of Hanson Directories and son of Lloyd Hanson, the company’s founder, has sold the telephone directory publisher to a Chicago investment firm named DirecTech, LLC. Bill Hanson has been with the company his father started since 1979, taking over in the late 1980s before his father passed away in 1993.

The successful completion of the sale of its assets to DirecTech took place Nov. 1.

“We feel the sale to DirecTech is a good fit for our telephone industry affiliates, our advertisers and our employees,” Hanson said. “My father started the business in January 1973. Proudly,

my family has had a long, enjoyable and successful history of service to the rural telephone industry.”

All 61 Hanson Directories staff members — inHanson cluding about 10 who travel and are not regularly in the Newton office — will remain in their respective positions with DirecTech. The new owners plan to continue publishing each directory under their existing schedules using its same facility in northeast Newton.

“It was really important to me to find a buyer that wanted to keep the company here,” Hanson said.

The company publishes more than 100 telephone directories for 140 telephone companies located in 27 states, with a combined circulation of more than one million total phone books annually.

DirecTech is owned by a Chicago-based investor group led

by Anderson Pacific Corporation, with extensive background in the ownership of media and telecommunications service business.

In a news release, DirecTech CEO, Andy McKenna, Jr. said he’s looking forward to his firm becoming a part of the Newton community.

The Newton City Council has a full agenda set for its Monday meeting with action expected on several items. Park fees, the D&D Program, the Convention and Visitors Bureau and Newton Municipal Airport are among topics ready to go before the council.

A slight decrease in golf fees at Westwood Golf Course is being proposed and is aimed at increasing the play of new golfers, casual golfers and golfers who frequent many courses.

The 9-hole rate would decrease by $5 with the weekday walking rate at $15 and cart rental $15.

The 9-hold weekend rate would be $20 for walkers and $30 with a cart rental fee.

The 18-hole fee is proposed to decrease by $4 to $21 for walkers and $35 with a cart rent-

al fee on weekdays and weekend rates of $26 for walkers and $40 with a cart rental.

An additional rental fee to increase is a $5 increase, from $30 to $35 to rent the west shelter at Maytag Park. Also at Maytag, a new adult/toddler time for the shallow end of the pool is being proposed. It would take place prior to the pool opening and would cost $2 per person.

Additionally, the garbage/recycling rate of each household is set to increase from $11.50 per month to $12 per month.

The increase would adjust costs associated with solid waste and recycling.

Also on the agenda, the city previously acquired the property at 603 E. Fourth St. N. through the D&D Program and is ready to sell the lot. While offers may COUNCIL | 3A

Git-N-Go takes over Kum & Go location

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A recent transaction means the end of one convenience store chain’s presence in Newton, and the doubling of the stores in the city operated by another chain.

Kum & Go is no longer operating the store located at S. Eighth Ave. E. and E. 17th St. S., across from the Newton YMCA. Within the past week, Git-N-Go has converted the store for its purposes, with crews changing out everything from signage to labels to product lines.

Cardinal Regiment peaks in performances Marching season showed progress

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Submitted Photo Members of the Newton High School Cardinal Regiment Band perform during a fall marching competition. Director Jim Beerends said the band made progress this year in ways that can’t always be seen in scores or placings.

Cedar Rapids Kennedy, Des Moines Roosevelt, Marshalltown and Indianola.

By the end of the fall season, which included five competitions on four Saturdays, the Regiment was improved, aided by the tough competition faced at events hosted by Urbandale and Valley. The Waukee High School invitational and the southern section of State Marching Competition were both held Oct. 15 at Waukee High School’s football stadium.

In the state competition, the Regiment earned a score of 82.4 and a Division I overall rating.

“That’s one of the two top scores since I’ve been here,” Beerends said.

The director said he realizes students, in order to improve, must often balance their music pursuits with other extra-curriculars, as there are dozens of clubs, sports and activities that overlap with band in both amount of practice time and conflicting events. Still, the Regiment has managed to hold its

grades at the middle school entailed many hours of extra work for several music staff.

Beerends said first-year assistant director Kelilah Brown also made important contributions. He thanked Steve Shanley, a Coe College assistant professor and a former K-12 music teacher in Cedar Rapids, for writing the sheet music for this year’s theme, which was simply “water.”

The director would like to see the band continue to grow, possibly to around 140 members next year or shortly thereafter. There is strong interest in band in the fifth through the eighth grades in Newton.

“It’s a constant climb,” Beerends said. “Some weeks, the gain is minimal, but the kids really keep after it, and try to get better the next week. I’m proud of the entire group. I think we had a fantastic fall.”

“

With 125 members, the Newton High School Cardinal Regiment utilizes the talents of about 14.5 percent of the NHS overall enrollment, making it one of the largest extra-curricular programs in the district. The band worked hard over the summer to sharpen skills, improve its sound and its routine, and Director Jim Beerends said the band took some important strides forward this year.

Starting with a “minicamp” leading up to the Newton Fourth of July Parade, the band continued to progress and sound better through the August regular camp and on into football and marching-competition season.

“It wasn’t just how the judges looked at us,” Beerends said. “It’s that we took on some difficult music to perform, and made it sound really good. We peaked at the end of the fall, and it took a lot of work to do that.”

Beerends said the early-summer minicamp was the best one he’s seen in his five years as the Regiment director. The band lost more than 20 talented seniors to graduation in May, and had more than 40 freshmen to work into the mix.

“The kids accomplished a lot despite all that turnover,” he said.

In the competition opener — the Marching Dutch Invitational, hosted by Pella High School — the Regiment placed seventh among eight Class 4A bands with a score of 67.1. Newton bested Ottumwa. First-place Ankeny Centennial, with a score of 83.2, was followed by runner-up Dowling Catholic, along with

Tribes’ talk to ND lawmakers canceled over protest BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Native American tribal leaders’ biennial address to the North Dakota Legislature will not happen in 2017, a committee said Thursday in deciding to forgo formal events at the state Capitol due to security reasons involving the Dakota Access pipeline protests.

The 10-3 vote by the North Dakota Legislative Management Committee means there’ll be no presentations from the state’s chief justice or tribal leaders when lawmakers reconvene Jan. 3. The measure exempts the governor’s State of the State address, which is required by state law.

Ongoing protests of the

four-state, $3.8 million pipeline in southern North Dakota have “significantly strained” law enforcement and the state Highway Patrol, which provides security at the state Capitol, Republican House Majority Leader Al Carlson said. Nearly 500 people have been arrested since August, the encampments show no sign of breaking up and there have been four large organized protests in the Bismarck-Mandan area this week; Thursday’s protests in Bismarck led to eight arrests.

“We’re trying to be proactive,” Carlson said. “In no way is this infringing on anyone’s First Amendment rights.

History shows us in recent

months that we need to be cautious.”

Democrats on the committee opposed the motion, especially since it scrubbed the traditional tribal address.

“This is not going to help tribal relations and it probably will set us up for even more bad situations,” said Rep. Marvin Nelson of Rolla.

“We need to be making every effort we can to reach out to the tribes at this time.”

By tradition, lawmakers hear speeches during the first week of each odd-numberedyear session, including from North Dakota’s chief justice and by one leader from the state’s tribes — Spirit Lake Sioux, Three Affiliated Tribes

the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa and the Standing Rock Sioux.

No tribe had been chosen to give the address for 2017, a tradition that dates back to 1985, according to Legislative Council Director Jim Smith.

The chairman of the tribe behind the legal push to stop the nearly 1,200-mile pipeline, Standing Rock Sioux’s Dave Archambault, gave the address in 2015, asking lawmakers to do more to protect public safety and the environment during the state’s oil boom. His tribe and other protest supporters say the pipeline, being built by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners, because the tribe

says threatens its water sources and cultural sites.

Carlson said the Legislature will err on the side of safety at the Capitol.

“Protecting people is our No. 1 priority,” he said.

In early November, nearly 20 protesters who sat, chanted, sang and refused orders to leave were arrested in the building’s judicial wing. And the Highway Patrol said security footage caught two people dressed splattering motor oil on the sidewalk and Capitol building on Halloween night.

They also left a sign with the message, “You can’t drink oil,” appearing to be in solidarity with the protesters, who call themselves water protectors.

Plenty of caffeinated comedy A

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Nov. 18, 2016

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

nearly full house filled into the Temple Theater in downtown Des Moines to see the comedic trio of “Triple Espresso” in action. I had no idea what to expect as I took my seat. I had heard the show was good and had appeared in Des Moines for a number of years. I was treated to a sample of their work at a press event in March, but that was only a slice of the laughter I was about to see.

The show centered around the interactions of an old trio: Hugh Butternut, Bobby Bean and Buzz Maxwell.

Butternut was the “featured entertainer” for the night and had arranged a 25 year reunion with his old pals, Bean and Maxwell (I like the coffee puns for the names). The reunion didn’t start out well. There were still some hard

feelings about things that had occurred in the past.

The trio then took us through the years, and the mishaps of what led them to where they were now. I don’t want to say too much and give away all the fun, however, there were many different phases that contributed to the animosity between the three performers. We saw the moments when the three first saw each other perform, and when they eventually started performing together. All of the “big breaks” didn’t turn out as planned, for one reason or another.

The part that had me laughing the most was the Cable Zaire scene. They had taken their show to Africa and converted some of their favorite 70s music into “Zaire remixes” almost offending the Swahili language. It was

definitely entertaining.

The show had several theatrical elements — music, dancing, magic, laughter and even some shadow puppets — with plenty of audience participation to keep the audience involved..

You could tell it was a scripted play but with some freedom. I noticed a few times when an actor must have improvised his lines, because the other two almost broke character. It made me smile even more.

By far the most audience involvement came from singing “Home on the Range” as a group. An added twist was trying to sing it as a mashup with “My Home’s in Montana” using picture cue cards. As corny as that sounds, it was hilarious.

You never quite knew what was coming next. The magic by Maxwell in the show was intentionally bad, poking fun at what typical illusionists want to hide. However, that set the scene for when he did something that was truly, well, magical. It went from funny to wow.

Butternut on the piano was very

talented. He could sing and play very well through many genres. He even took requests from the audience, ignoring them until he heard a song he could actually play of course.

Bean was the quirkiest of all. He was the one that was always mixing things up and causing mayhem at the same time. His shadow puppets bit was both unexpected and comical. I never thought shadow puppets could be so funny.

The three characters worked well together. Their comedic timing was on-point throughout the performance.

I can just imagine each performance is unique with these three guys on stage.

Triple Espresso will be at the Temple Theater through Jan. 7. They have evening shows Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with two shows on Saturday and a matinee on Sunday.

They do take days off for the holidays but it should be easy to find a time to check out these three comedians. I’d say it’s well worth it.

So Anyway Dana King

When will I learn?

As I was brushing my teeth this morning, I scolded myself for trying to save a few bucks by replacing my “name brand” battery-operated toothbrush with a less expensive one.

I had struggled with the high-tech cleaning device when I made my first power toothbrush purchase several years ago. Without fail, I had to clean the mirror above my bathroom sink every time I brushed my teeth — it took me a while to get my “technique” in check. But once I finally figured it all out, I was sold on the thing.

The last time I replaced my toothbrush, I went with a less expensive one. Standing in the store, I picked up the lower-cost toothbrush, powered it on and it seemed to function just like the pricier ones.

So in my cart it went.

But once I got home, apparently the weight of the toothpaste was just too much for it and by the time I started brushing my teeth, I instantly knew why it was cheaper. It had no “umph.”

Lesson learned. I should have spent the extra few dollars.

It got me to thinking about my spending habits.

Clothing? Shoes? Those things really don’t matter to me. I would rather be comfortable that fashionable.

Hair styles? Get real. I’ve never seen a haircut worth the equivalent of an eight-hour day’s pay.

Restaurants? I can walk away just as satisfied with my meal at a mom and pop cafe with a view of the gravel drive as I can at an steakhouse with a view of the cityscape.

Automobiles? I’ve driven many a vehicle to the brink of death. They’ve never been fancy and frankly, it hasn’t bothered me in the least. However, I currently drive a car — although still nothing fancy — that sports a heated steering wheel and seats and those are two features of which I’ve become very fond. I will also admit to being quite attached to the Sirius radio in my vehicle. To think, I once scoffed at people who would pay to listen to radio.

So what exactly do I spend my money on?

Well, the short list includes replenishing the squeaky toys for my dogs on a monthly basis, real butter, treehouses and you can be sure a pricey battery-powered toothbrush is now on there as well.

NCEA celebrates American Education Week This past week, the Newton Community Education Association (NCEA) joined millions of Americans nationwide in the National Education Association’s 95thannual American Education Week celebration. The celebration highlights the importance of bringing together educators, support personnel, parents, students, and communities in a unified effort to build great public schools.

On behalf of the Newton Community Education Association, I want to acknowledge all

Thanks for the memories Dana King’s column “Just out for a Ride,” brought back memories of my childhood rides. Four other siblings and I sat in the back seat and the two youngest siblings sat with mom and dad in the front of our Chevy.

Car rides were always on Sundays and dad drove one speed which was slow. He earned the nickname “Sunday Driver.”

These rides were educational as well as entertaining. We did not have to go far from home to see things and learn about places.

In the 1960s dad showed us

the Newton Community School District personnel who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education. These are our teachers, administrators, school counselors, success coaches, specialists, instructional coaches, substitute teachers, school board members, paraprofessionals, nurses, secretaries, cooks, food service, crossing guards, custodians, delivery people, maintenance, bus drivers and mechanics. Thank you to every individual in the NCSD who is making a difference in our children’slives.

I also want to thank the Newton community for your continued support of public education. I witness your generosity, support,

and influence on our children in the NCSD daily, and we definitely couldn’t do our jobs without you.

American Education Week’s tagline, “Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility” represents NEA’s vision of calling upon all of us to do our part in making public schools great for every child, so that they can grow and achieve in the 21st century. Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” In a world that is often full of uncertainty,it is comforting to know that so many of us are working together.

a new nursing home which had been built in a nearby town, and that ended the culture of the youngest child staying home to care for aging parents. A few years later my youngest sibling was okay with that.

Once we stopped at a small isolated country church. It was not locked, and we went inside and enjoyed the quaintness of this church with just a few pews.

Sometimes the drives were long and sometimes they were short. On all day trips, mom would pack sandwiches which we ate at parks. Dad farmed and he liked to look at the corn crops. A city person thinks that all corn looks alike, but not dad,

as in a dry year, he would mention in varying degrees how “fried up” the corn was.

In the early years of our marriage, the house my husband and I lived in did not have air conditioning. Luckily, our car had air, so we took drives to cool off during hot evenings.

Nowadays when driving home in the evening, most people have their lights on, and haven’t yet closed their curtains or blinds and their televisions are on.

When kids travel with their parents today, they have their smartphones.

“The NCEF’s mission is to encourage academic excellence and creativity in the district,” NCEF President Mark Allen said. “The most important way we do that is by assisting educators, and our hope is that through this action teachers will know how important they are and understand how much we appreciate their dedication.”

The benefit to students will be in the area of classroom supplies.

For example, at Newton High School, supplies for teachers of

courses involving students in real “hands-on” experiences such as agriculture, art, food sciences, industrial tech and science were at risk for decreased funding.

The grant of $40,000 will be divided per-capita by teacher, with campus principals deciding where to apply the funds based on needs within their respective buildings.

This one-time grant will help forestall compensating reductions in other areas during the current fiscal year.

In a separate action, the NCEF Trustees awarded $12,000 to Berg Middle School to start an innovative after-school program. These funds were made possible through a bequest from Elizabeth J. “Betty” Dickinson.

Dickinson, an NHS graduate, helped many hundreds of Newton alumni by administering the Maytag Scholarship Program during her 39-year career with the Maytag Foundation. The legacy of Dickinson’s commitment to Newton students continues with this grant.

A club at the middle school will

integrate academic support into a larger program that promotes the social, emotional and physical development of students.

“Families across the country are beginning to recognize the tremendous benefits a quality after-school program can provide,” said BMS Assistant Principal Amy Shannon. “Because they can offer an array of activities not always available during the traditional school day, these programs give students many opportunities for growth and learning they might not find elsewhere.”

The Newton Community Educational Foundation has supported educational programs in Newton schools since 1990. Financed entirely through donations, seventeen funds are under management including family, individual, organization, and NHS Class endowments. The Foundation also maintains a General Fund that welcomes gifts of any amount.

Club News Sunbonnet Questers The November meeting of Sunbonnet Questers met Nov. 10 at the home of LaVon Roth.

The meeting was called to order by President Dorothy Raymond at 7:50 p.m. Roll call was answered by eight members with memories of our favorite childhood book which stimulated great discussion about books we read as children and also books we read to our children.

Dorothy shared items

from Tidbits by the state president including questions regarding the state motto and the Terrace Hill tea. Dorothy will send an email with more information regarding the tea.

Old business: Dorothy handed out copies of our current policies with a copy of the items the state organization wants to be considered for inclusion.

It appears that our policies are in line with this list and a copy will be sent to the state organization.

Judy Swenson has offered to hostess the Christmas meeting. Discussion regarding food led to the decision that each of us will take an appetizer. The Christmas gifting project will remain with the recipients to be decided at the December meeting. There will be no gift exchange among members.

Jane Ann Cotton presented an outstanding program on lacquer boxes from Russia and the Ukraine. Jane Ann was

first introduced to these boxes when she took her first trip to the Ukraine in May of 1993. In addition to the boxes she has a pair of candle holders given to her by the mother of her exchange daughter.

Lacquer boxes originated in China 2,000 years ago and arrived in Europe in the 16th century.

Jane Ann has beautiful boxes in several shapes including a sleigh as well as nesting dolls which she purchased in the Ukraine and Russia.

Friend enjoys a free ride without the slightest thanks

DEAR ABBY: I am a retired airline employee, and I get passes for my friends and family. I recently provided first-class-eligible round-trip passes from San Diego to Paris to my best friend and her friend. (The fare would have cost them thousands of dollars retail.) The only thing I asked in return was to pick me up a menu, a print or something small that could be packed easily.

They were in Paris for a month, Abby, and they totally forgot me. I am so hurt. Sometimes I want to call them and tell them how I feel. Then I think it wouldn’t be a good idea. Frankly, I am angry. What is the best way to handle this? — UP IN THE AIR DEAR UP IN THE AIR: I don’t blame you for being angry about the thoughtlessness and ingratitude they displayed. Your feelings are justified, and you should clear the air by explaining that you were hurt. You have every right to tell your friend how you feel.

And the next time you are asked to give them a free ride, you have every right to just say “non.”

DEAR ABBY: I’m hoping you can guide me on how to handle a sticky situation with my neighbors.

My 9-year-old son has befriended a kid his age. The boy is nice and I don’t mind him coming over. However, he has a younger brother the parents always send with him, and the boy is very hyper and aggressive. I work full time as a behavior specialist and deal with hyperactive children all day. The last thing I want when I come home is a hyper child I cannot parent.

My son recently invited his friend to sleep over, and the parents sent both boys. How do I let them know that sometimes just the older brother is welcome without hurting their feelings? — NOT WANTING TO OFFEND DEAR NOT WANTING: Hurting their feelings? The parents are using your invitations to the older boy

as a baby-sitting opportunity for the younger one. I don’t think it would be rude to tell them you can handle only one child at a time, and to please refrain from sending the little brother to your home unless he is specifically invited.

DEAR ABBY: I am struggling with trust in my relationships. I haven’t found a faithful man in any of the relationships I’ve had in the last five years, and it has made me gun shy. Now, each time I try to date, I look for any small indication that he could be cheating, which leads to jealousy and drives men away.

How do I learn to trust again? Should I delete all social media? Should I just stop trying to date altogether? I am so frustrated and tired of getting hurt. — WOUNDED IN MINNESOTA DEAR WOUNDED: Putting ourselves out there is risky. There can be many disappointments before a person finds the right match. (Men also become frustrated and gun shy.)

Your luck might improve if you become serious less quickly and let relationships evolve without looking for commitment or signs of betrayal. If a man acts responsibly, does what he says he will and treats you with respect, give him the benefit of the doubt and the chances are your luck may change. If you’re unable to do this, some sessions with a licensed professional counselor may help.

1 Auditor says $82,400 missing from Muscatine County jail

MUSCATINE — The state auditor says at least $82,400 appears to be missing from Muscatine County’s jail accounts. Auditor Mary Mosiman said Thursday that her review was requested by the Iowa Division of Criminal investigation after the termination of an assistant jail administrator earlier this year. The audit examined the Muscatine County Sheriff ’s office’s accounts between 2013 and 2016. Mosiman says jail records were inadequate, so her office couldn’t determine exactly what happened to the $82,400.

The Mississippi River Collaborative says the EPA has failed to require enforceable regulations, deadlines or funding to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous pollution.

The pollution contributes to the Gulf of Mexico’s dead zone, an area that’s unable to support aquatic life.

Officials approve sand mining expansion

ELKADER — Clayton County officials have given final approval for expanded silica sand mining on 746 acres of land that has been rezoned, despite health concerns from some who live near the site.

—The Associated Press

Man accused of killing officers called police ‘heroes’ IOWA CITY (AP) — Days before he allegedly killed two Iowa police officers, Scott Michael Greene sent a note to one of their departments apologizing for prior run-ins, saying his “dark days” were over and praising police as “absolute heroes.”

In an online compliment form addressed to the “many officers” of the Urbandale Police Department, the unemployed 46-year-old father wrote Oct. 29: “I love you folks.”

“I love the fact that you will give your life for my daughter and myself. You guys are absolute heroes and I mean that from the bottom of my heart,” Greene wrote in the note from his Gmail account. “I’m so proud to have you guys around. I respect each and every one of you with all my heart. I really do.”

Four days after the laudatory email, authorities say Greene shot and killed firstyear Urbandale police officer Justin Martin, 24, and Des Moines Police Sgt. Anthony Beminio, 38. The ambush-style attacks took place about two miles apart within minutes of each other as both officers were sitting in their patrol cars. Greene is in jail awaiting trial on two counts of first-degree murder, which would put him in prison for

life if convicted.

The Associated Press exclusively obtained the document and dozens of others about Greene on Thursday from the Urbandale Community School District under the open records law. The district had initially refused to release them at the urging of Urbandale police, arguing they were part of a police report and confidential. The district reversed course after the AP argued that exemption did not apply to school records.

The records reveal that for two weeks before the shootings, Greene was enraged by the district’s decision to bar him for security reasons from district activities. The district acted after Greene had waved a large Confederate flag in front of black spectators at a high school football game Oct. 14. He told the district he targeted those spectators with the flag because he was upset they did not stand for the national anthem.

Greene warned school officials in a rambling email Oct. 26 that he wasn’t violent but that “you messed with the wrong guy.” He said the ban was a violation of his civil rights and promised legal action to restore the right to watch his daughter perform on the high school cheerleading team and in other extra-

curricular activities.

“I will fight you guys like a pit bull who’s been fed gunpowder,” he wrote to the principal and superintendent.

After the flag incident, police escorted Greene out of the game and temporarily banned him from school property. He later posted video of the incident on YouTube. One of the black parents who was targeted

told the principal in an email that he expected additional security measures to prevent future harassment, saying many fans were on edge given the racial unrest going on nationwide.

“The last thing I want is for anything ‘newsworthy’ to occur and take focus away from the sporting event,” the parent wrote Oct. 17.

District officials asked Greene not to attend the following week’s game at a neighboring school district, but he showed up anyway. At that game, district activities director William Watson wrote in an email that Greene asked the school to lift the ban, citing “his desire when he was on his deathbed to state that he had been to all of his kids’ events.”

New program helps Dubuque officials with sobriety testing DUBUQUE (AP) — More than a dozen law enforcement officials struggled to maintain their focus on the instructor as the revelers in the hallway grew more boisterous.

Though the doors were closed, shouts and laughter filled the classroom at the Dubuque Emergency Responder Training Center. Moments earlier, a boozy rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” had echoed through the building.

“Obviously, some people have been drinking,” said Officer Ryan Scherrman, a drug recognition expert and trainer leading the class.

Though the atmosphere was light and the laughs plentiful, the recent training session was no joke. Advanced Roadside Impairment Driving Enforcement certification is meant to ensure officers are wellequipped to take inebriated drivers off the road.

component of the training, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration-funded program offered to law enforcement agencies at no cost.

Volunteers are “dosed” with alcohol and then used as guinea pigs by officers practicing field sobriety evaluation techniques.

Wet lab volunteers primarily were dosed with beer, according to Scherrman. Their consumption was monitored for safety and to ensure each

participant had a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 to 0.12 percent.

Having real interactions with inebriated people promotes a practical understanding that can’t be achieved in a traditional educational setting, Scherrman said.

“When you sit in a classroom, you don’t get the effect,” he said. “With training like this, this is live, hands-on training. ... It’s completely different when you’re actually ad-

The dosed volunteers, or “drinkers,” are friends and colleagues of law enforcement officials, according to Scherrman.

One such volunteer, Megan McKenna, alleged she was “winning” the field sobriety testing. Using the alias “Sparky,” she tried walking a straight line and attempted to follow the testing officer’s moving finger with her eyes while keeping her head stationary.

DES MOINES — With the support of Matthew Edel’s great-greatgrandson and family, the State Historical Society of Iowa is raising money to beef up the care and conservation of artifacts at the historic Matthew Edel Blacksmith Shop in Haverhill, a small town just south of Marshalltown.

A German immigrant, Edel owned the shop from 1883 until his death in 1940. His family donated the shop and its contents in 1986 to

the State Historical Society of Iowa, which documented 4,486 artifacts and left them exactly as Edel did 76 years ago.

Over the past 30 years, visitors have enjoyed seeing the shop and the rare collection of blacksmith gear Edel used to build and repair wagons, horseshoes and the beautiful iron crosses that mark graves in a cemetery nearby. He did it all with tools he created himself, many of which he patented.

Today, however, some of the artifacts are showing signs of severe de-

GRINNELL — Wes Finch Auto Plaza is kicking off the season of giving by donating $1,000 to the Grinnell Skate/BMX Project through their Facebook Charity Campaign. Voting took place Oct. 1-31, and the winner was announced on Nov. 1. Grinnell Skate/ BMX Project did a fantastic job engaging their Facebook followers, winning with an impressive amount of votes all month long.

The Grinnell Skate/BMX Project is working to build a safe place for BMX riders, skateboarders, roller-bladers, and roller-skaters in Grinnell to show their talents and hang out. The Bailey Park ramps were removed because they were old and had become a safety hazard. A group of young BMX riders and skaters have been working with Imagine Grinnell and the City parks board to raise money to build a state-of-the-art, permanent concrete skate park.

DES MOINES — Thanksgiving Day brings the annual gathering of family, friends, food and festivities, some of the best treasures a person could be thankful for. State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald knows his office has a bounty of its own with the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt. “A quick search on our website can provide one more reason to give thanks,” Fitzgerald said.

The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program has returned over $220 million in unclaimed property since Fitzgerald created it in 1983. Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets held by financial institutions or companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner for a specific period of time.

State law requires these institutions and companies to annually report unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s office.

The assets are then held until the owner or heir of the property is found.

Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed checks, life insurance policies, utility security deposits and safe deposit box contents.

“Those who take the time to search the list may find they have one more thing to be thankful for,” Fitzgerald stated.

“I encourage everyone to visit the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt website to look for their lost treasure.”

Visit the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt at Facebook and follow the program on Twitter @GreatIATreasure.

Market has also announced that its Meals from the Market Program exceeded its 2016 goals. Meals from the Market, which is sponsored by Great Western Bank, offers vendors and patrons an opportunity to donate fresh food each Saturday to be taken to Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) pantries, where food contributions are used to create meals to feed the hungry and also sent to 13 Central Iowa food pantry sites.

During The Market’s 2016 outdoor season, Meals from the Market collected 1,998 pounds of food per week on average, which was valued at nearly $157,000 for the year.

Eight Tigerhawks earn all-district football honors

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

AP photo Iowa guard Christian Williams grabs a rebound in front of Seton Hall forward Rashed Anthony, right, during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Thursday in Iowa City.

Seton Hall hands Iowa men first loss of season IOWA CITY (AP) — Seton Hall no longer has star Isaiah Whitehead to lean on.

The Pirates have depth and balance though — and that was enough for them to pass their first road test of 201617.

Myles Powell scored 26 points off the bench, Desi Rodriguez had 25 and Seton Hall beat Iowa 91-83 on Thursday night.

Khadeen Carrington added 20 points for the Pirates (3-0), who shot 51 percent from the floor with eight 3s and outscored the Hawkeyes 50-24 in the paint.

“Our team will be much more balanced this year,” said Seton Hall coach Kevin Wil-

lard after Whitehead left for the NBA. Powell buried a trey and followed by a layup to put Seton Hall up 82-74 with 3:15 to go — and then drilled another long trey to make it a 10-point game a minute later.

Rodriguez followed with a 3-pointer that sent the fans to the exits.

Iowa made a few late shots to make it close before falling for the first time in 2016-17.

Senior Peter Jok had 30 points and 11 rebounds for his first career double-double, and freshman Tyler Cook scored a career-high 24 points for the Hawkeyes (2-1).

HAWKEYES | 2B

Jimmy Camp was a big part of Colfax-Mingo’s success on the gridiron during the Tigerhawks’ run to the second round of the playoffs in 2015.

Camp entered the 2016 season with preseason all-state accolades from iowapreps. com. After the Tigerhawks finished 1-8 overall and 1-6 in Class A District 5 play, Camp was the only Colfax-Mingo player named to the district’s first team.

The all-District 5 honorees were announced Thursday night after district champion Gladbrook-Reinbeck won its second straight Class A title at the UNI-Dome. The Rebels completed a 13-0 record with a 20-19 win over Algona Garrigan in the title game.

Camp earned first-team honors as a defensive end. His teammates, senior Adam Teed and junior Colton Lourens, were named to the second team, while senior Wyatt Owens and juniors Jarod Nichols and Nick Barnes all earned honorable mention honors.

The final two selections were senior Jake Dunsbergen and sophomore Zarek Hill, who both earned Golden Awards, which recognize players who would have been all-district players had they not gotten hurt.

Panther men rout Arizona State LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Jeremy Morgan plays guard for the Northern Iowa Panthers, but that seems almost too limiting.

The senior does a little bit of everything for the Panthers. That much was obvious Thursday night when Morgan scored 20 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and gave four assists — all game highs — in leading UNI to an impressive 82-63 win over Arizona State in the opening round of the Tire Pros Invitational.

“The best part of his game is his versatility,” said UNI coach Ben Jacobson, whose team improved to 2-0 on the season. “Usually when that’s the word used by your coach or what people see is the versatility then they say,’ OK, he must not be great at anything.’ But he is pretty good at a lot of things.”

The Panthers got outstanding perand it was decided to go to NCMP for the boys this season since there were swimmers from the three school districts involved.

Area boys’ basketball and wrestling teams spring into action following the Thanksgiving break. Newton’s girls and boys open bowling season Dec. 1.

Newton High is hosting Newton’s Winter Classic — a night of wrestling and boys’ basketball — on Nov. 29.

Boone is the opponent on the court and on the mat for the Cardinals that night.

Action begins at 4:30 p.m. with junior varsity wrestling at 4:30 p.m. in the Upper Gym. At 4:45 p.m. is the freshman boys’ basketball game in the Lower Gym followed by the junior varsity boys’ game at 6:15 p.m.

Newton’s varsity wrestlers open the season at home against Boone at 5:30 p.m. in the Upper Gym. As soon as the varsity wrestling concludes, the mat is rolled up and the Newton varsity boys’ basketball team gets the season under way against Boone at 7:30 p.m.

Last weekend, the Kansas State Wildcats were idle.

On Sunday, I thought my Kansas City Chiefs were idle too from the way they were playing against Carolina.

The Chiefs woke up and rallied to beat

formances from Spencer Haldeman, Klint Carlson and Bennett Koch but it was Morgan who served as the facilitator of their production. That often meant him finding Haldeman on the perimeter or Koch flashing in the paint or ASU paid so much attention to Morgan that at least one of his teammates was left open.

PANTHERS | 2B the Panthers.

The Chiefs scored on defense to turn the game around. Down 17-6, veteran safety Eric Berry returned an interception for a touchdown.

The Chiefs executed a 2-point conversion. They tied it up later at 17-17.

The defense came up with another takeaway — a strip of the football by second-year cornerback Marcus Peters. It led to the game-winning field goal by Cairo Santos.

Peters, who I like how he plays but he needs to learn how to react better, punted the ball into the stands after his fumble recovery.

It only cost the Chiefs five yards for a delay of game penalty but could have been a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Following the incident, there was a glimpse of Berry talking to Peters on the Chiefs’ sideline. Later, Berry said he just told Peters to be smart.

“We always talk about accountability. It’s not about yourself. We’re out there for each other.

Sometimes you have to put yourself to the side and do it for your teammate,” Berry said.

Lesson learned.

Panthers Continued from Page 1B What it all led to was a dominant performance by the Panthers over their Pac-12 opponent.

With Morgan and Haldeman leading the way from 3-point range and Koch unmatched in the paint, UNI led by as many as 10 points in the first half and 20 points in the second half.

The Panthers shot 51 percent from the field and with Morgan and Haldeman combining to convert nine 3-pointers.

ASU coach Bobby Hurley was disappointed that his team seemed a step slow defensively and out of sync offensively against its toughest opponent so far this season.

Big Picture Northern Iowa: In their first real test of the season, the Panthers proved they can be a force in the Missouri Valley Conference and perhaps on the national scene. Morgan, the preseason MVC Player of the Year, and Haldeman didn’t flinch against their Pac-12 opponent.

Arizona State: The Sun Devils got off to an impressive 2-0 start but when faced against a team that can defend and has a nice inside-outside game they were exposed.

Nationals’ Scherzer, Boston’s Porcello receive 2016 Cy Young Awards NEW YORK (AP) — Max Scherzer celebrated aboard a boat off the British Virgin Islands, doused by college pals on a floating party.

Rick Porcello enjoyed the moment at his parents’ home in New Jersey, surrounded by family, friends and a few bottles of wine.

As for Justin Verlander, well, fuming supermodel Kate Upton brought the heat for her fiance.

Rotation mates for five seasons in Detroit, the three right-handers topped the Cy Young Award talk Wednesday: Scherzer easily won the NL prize, Porcello edged out Verlander for the AL honor.

“That’s just the weird thing about these,” said Scherzer, who ruled the majors with 284 strikeouts and topped the NL with 20 wins for Washington.

“It’s the voting.”

Porcello led baseball with 22 wins for Boston, and had a 3.15 ERA. Porcello won despite getting just eight of the 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America — this was the first time the AL Cy winner didn’t get the most firsts.

Verlander went 16-9 with a 2.40 ERA while leading the AL in strikeouts and other categories. He got 14 first-place votes, but didn’t draw as much support across the board — he was left off two ballots, too.

Overall, Porcello won 137-132

in the second-closest vote since 1970 (Verlander lost by four points to David Price in 2012).

Voters list their five picks in order.

A first-place vote is worth seven points, four for second, three for third, two for fourth and one for fifth. Verlander needed to pick up five more points to match Porcello.

Upton fired off three tweets, one of them rather saucy, telling Porcello “you didn’t win.”

Asked whether he was bothered by the brouhaha, Porcello simply said, “No, I honestly don’t care.”

“I’m not the one who made the decision,” he said on a conference call.

Porcello got a $100,000 bonus for winning the Cy. Verlander, who won the 2011 award, would’ve gotten $500,000 for this win.

AP File Photo Boston Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello works against the Oakland Athletics in September game in Oakland, Calif. Porcello won the American Cy Young Award earlier this week in a tight race with Justin Verlander and Corey Kluber.

Porcello bounced back from going 9-15 in his first season with the Red Sox, finishing 22-4 for the AL East champs.

He shared this last win of 2016 with those who “never wavered” in their support, admitting, “It was hard not to start bawling and crying.”

Cleveland’s Corey Kluber was third and got three firstplace votes. Baltimore reliever Zach Britton, who went 47 for 47 on save chances with a 0.54 ERA, had five first-place votes and was fourth.

Scherzer breezed, drawing 25 first-place votes to beat out Chicago Cubs teammates Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks.

Scherzer became the sixth pitcher to earn the Cy Young in both leagues. After earning the AL honor in 2013 with the Tigers, Scherzer joined Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Pe-

dro Martinez, Gaylord Perry and Roy Halladay as winners in both leagues.

This award, Scherzer said, meant even more than the first one.

“It just verifies everything I try to achieve,” he said.

Scherzer posted a record-tying 20-strikeout performance for the NL East champion Nationals, a year after he threw two no-hitters in his first season with Washington.

“I want to find a way to be better,” he said.

Scherzer is the first pitcher from a Washington franchise to win a Cy Young.

The award was first presented in 1956.

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw got three first-place votes and finished fifth.

Jose Fernandez, the Miami star killed in a boating accident in September, was seventh.

Trout, Bryant win baseball’s MVP awards CHICAGO (AP) — While the Los Angeles Angels stumbled, Mike Trout soared again.

Just too good to ignore.

Trout won the AL MVP award Thursday for the second time in three years, and Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant was voted NL MVP in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

“To win it one time, it’s hard to do,” Trout said. “Twice, I guess you saw my emotions tonight, it’s something special.”

While the Angels finished fourth in the AL West, Trout was his usual brilliant self. The center fielder batted .315 with 29 homers, 100 RBIs and 30 steals. He scored 17 percent of Los Angeles’ runs, the highest percentage for an AL player since Rickey Henderson with the 1985 New York Yankees.

Trout, who was a unanimous winner in 2014, had finished second in three of the past four years. He becomes the first MVP from a losing team since Alex Rodriguez for Texas in 2003 and just the fifth player ever to accomplish the feat, joining Hall of Famers

Bryant

Ernie Banks (1958 and 1959), Andre Dawson (1987) and Cal Ripken (1991).

“At the end of the season a lot of people were asking me about the same question, you know, if your team has a losing record is it going to hurt you in the MVP?” Trout said. “With this MVP this year, I guess it doesn’t matter.”

Bryant hit .292 with 39 homers and 102 RBIs in just his second year in the majors, helping the Cubs to their first World Series title since 1908.

The No. 2 overall pick from the 2013 draft becomes just the sixth player to win rookie of the year and MVP in one or consecutive seasons.

“This year has certainly

Continued from Page 1B “I would have liked to have seen us play better defense over the duration, especially in the second half,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.

“We tried defenses, we changed defenses; press, we went to zone. We just didn’t perform to the level that’s necessary.”

Big Picture Seton Hall: The Pirates should be a factor in the Big East.

They started five upperclassmen who were unfazed by their first road game — although an 8 p.m. tip-off time on a week night kept the crowd down a bit.

Seton Hall forced Iowa to commit 17 turnovers.

Iowa: Win or lose, a matchup against a tough, veteran team halfway through November was exactly what the Hawkeyes needed.

McCaffery is still trying to find a rotation that can win in the Big Ten, using 11 players in the first half alone.

But it looks like Jok has found a more than capable sidekick in Cook, who can seemingly do everything but knock down free throws.

Not-So Free Throws

been one of the best years of my life,” said Bryant, who is set to get married in January. “I mean winning a World Series, now this, it’s just icing on the cake.”

The Las Vegas native is the first NL MVP from the Cubs since Sammy Sosa in 1998 and the eighth player from the club to win the award since 1935.

The once-forlorn franchise enjoying its best run in decades also had two of the top MVP candidates, with first baseman Anthony Rizzo finishing fourth.

Voting by BBWAA members was completed by the start of the playoffs.

“If it wasn’t for Anthony and his protection and guidance, I wouldn’t have won this award,” Bryant said. “I mean he texted me and I said the same thing to him, I said if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have been able to do this.”

Bryant was a runaway winner, grabbing 29 of 30 firstplace votes and 415 points.

Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy, who batted .347 for the NL East champi-

Cook was a mess at the free-throw line, going just 5-of-12. But neither team could covert its freebies, as Seton Hall was 17-of-31 and Iowa was 19-of32.

Smoke Show Iowa brought out two sets of pyrotechnics during its player introductions.

The smoke lingered in the air for roughly half of the first half.

But Iowa’s other new wrinkles, including a new court, lighting and a massive new scoreboard over center court, has vastly improved the game-day experience at Carver-Hawkeye Arena — which had begun to show its age until recent renovations.

He Said It “There’s not a time where he shoots the ball where I think it’s not going in.

He plays with a lot of confidence. He plays like I think all kids should play, just having fun,” Willard said of Powell.

Up Next Seton Hall’s schedule doesn’t let up much.

The Pirates play Florida next Thursday and, if they win, likely Gonzaga on Thanksgiving.

Iowa gets another cupcake in Texas-Rio Grande Valley on Sunday. But the Hawkeyes will face No. 8 Virginia next Friday in Florida.

ons, was the runner-up with the other first-place vote and 245 points. Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager was third after he was the unanimous winner of the NL Rookie of the Year award on Monday.

Seager will look to follow in Bryant’s footsteps next year.

Bryant was the unanimous NL Rookie of the Year after he hit .275 with 26 homers and 99 RBIs last season. Bryant joins Dustin Pedroia (2007-08), Ryan Howard (2005-06) and Cal Ripken (1982-83) as the only players to go Rookie of the Year-MVP in consecutive seasons. Ichiro Suzuki (2001) and Fred Lynn (1975) are the only players to win the awards in the same year.

Trout received 19 first-place votes and 356 points. Mookie Betts, who batted .318 with 31 homers, 113 RBIs and 26 steals in 158 games for the Boston Red Sox, was second with 311 points, and AL batting champion Jose Altuve of Houston was third. Retiring Red Sox slugger David Ortiz finished sixth in his final year in the majors.

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B sacks, while hauling in 18 catches, 165 yards and two scores on offense.

Lourens made the second team as an offensive lineman. He started for the first time in his career and will provide the Tigerhawks with some experience next season.

He had 12 tackles on defense.

Nichols hauled in 26 catches for 243 yards and a touchdown as one of the Tigerhawks’ best receiver, while Barnes had 17 tackles, one fumble recovery and an interception he returned for a TD on defense.

Owens was a two-way starter on the offensive and defensive lines and finished with 16 tackles.

Hill finished with 19 catches for 215 yards and three TDs on offense, while collecting 25 tackles and a sack on defense.

Dunsbergen was another two-way starter in the trenches. He finished with 35.5 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and one sack.

Hill and Dunsbergen were both injured in the loss to North Tama in Week 6.

Joining Teed on the academic all-district team were Barnes, Holister Koenig, Brady Berkey and Trinity Schroeder.

Do you know what your dreams mean? On the last day of Neptune’s retrograde it will be extremely lucky to leave a notebook and pen bedside.

When you awaken, jot down whatever you remember of your dreams. There is genius and insight in this, even if it doesn’t make sense at first.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 18). This year, when you’re happy, you’re ecstatic. You’ll do your best and give your all to the relationship that makes your life sing! Work improves in January, and you’ll add a new skill set to your arsenal.

March is your chance to trade out a tired aspect of your life for new purpose. Children

make you proud in May. Aries and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 43, 14, 3, 33 and 13.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll run into people you know in places you weren’t expecting to see them. This will present an interesting conundrum -- nothing you can’t handle, of course.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your job goes better when your loved ones have your back at home. If you’re distracted by domestic details and responsibilities, you’re not likely to put in your best performance.

The ones who need you will really need you today. In fact, whether or not you want to be, you’ll be among the most needed. Well, they couldn’t have chosen a more qualified candidate!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It’s a little like you’re being forced to act like you’re having fun. Roll with it, and then don’t be surprised if all this acting becomes the truth. This is what Hollywood is built on!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You will let them all know what you think, but you’ll do it in such a cool way that they might assume that they’ve come up with it themselves.

They’re not trying to rip you off; they just really admire you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s the small things that will matter most to you today. To be able to count on someone, a secure relationship with a person who makes you laugh -- that’s a little slice of heaven.

Your new priorities will order themselves.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’ll attract good people. Givers. People who are naturally drawn to relate in a friendly, cheerful way. These are the ones you’ll keep coming back to. Commitments are a no-brainer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Why do you spend so much time in another person’s world? That’s easy: love. This is what people who love each other do. They try, really try, to understand each other.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your influence over others will be profound today. Your thought waves will affect the stranger passing on the street,

the clerk in the grocery store and the person picking up your mail, as well as those individuals in your inner circle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The wealthy American industrialist J. Paul Getty said that if you can actually count your money then you are not really a rich man. If this is true, you’ll cultivate a sense of prosperity in yourself by simply not counting.
