High influenza activity in Iowa

Wintery fun

Up to 6 inches of snow hits Jasper County

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News The first snowfall of the winter came Friday afternoon and continued into the morning, canceling evening activities for a majority school districts and creating dangerous driving conditions.

The storm began sweeping through central Iowa around 2 p.m. Friday, causing a slow commute home for drivers.

Some cars were stranded overnight on Interstate 80 after drivers lost control of their vehicles and slid off the road.

Despite the rough

conditions on a Friday evening, just a handful of minor accidents in city limits were reported, according to Lt. Ron Cook of the Newton Police Department.

The National Weather Service in Des Moines reported parts of Jasper County received up to 6 inches of snow. Isolated areas in northern Iowa received more than a foot of snow with the highest recorded total being 14 inches.

Alex Olp/Daily News Colby Jones, 14, snowboards down Sunset Park’s hill as other kids look on Saturday afternoon. The first snowfall of the winter brought up to 6 inches of snow to areas of Jasper County.

Following two influenza-related deaths in central Iowa, the Iowa Department of Public Health said Iowa has one of the highest estimated influenza activity so far this season.

“These deaths are an unfortunate reminder the flu virus is circulating in Iowa and does have the potential to cause severe illness and death,” IDPH Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk said.

According to the most recent activity report from the IDPH, the state has low levels of influenza activity and had .18 percent of outpatient visits due to a flu-like illness. That number is below the regional baseline set.

The activity is holding after it was reported to be increasing in the previous week’s report with .46 percent of outpatient visits due to a flu-like illness.

According to the Center of Disease Control’s national estimates, an average of 300,000 Iowans get the flu every year and together, flu and its complication of pneumonia cause an average of 1,000 deaths yearly in Iowa.

The CDC recommends the flu vaccine as the best defense against getting influenza.

Along with the vaccine, it is also important to take personal actions to help prevent the spread of illness. Remembering the 3Cs including, covering your coughs and sneeze, cleaning your hands frequently and containing germs by staying home when ill can help keep you and those around you from getting or spreading the flu.

The flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses. It comes on suddenly and may cause severe illness or even death in people such as the very young or very old, or those who have underlying health conditions. Both the current influenza deaths in Iowa occurred in individuals with underlying health conditions.

The flu vaccine is still available in Newton through Jasper County Public Health and several local businesses. Contact Jasper County Public Health at 641-792-5086 to set up an appointment. Area pharmacies also have the flu vaccine available.

Fire department encourages safe home heating practices Cold weather brings first use of home heating

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Did you enjoy our relatively warm, dry autumn in central Iowa?

It’s likely you’ve noticed how much colder it has seemed over the past few days. With so many Jasper County residents firing up their home heating systems for the first time this season, Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik reminds the public to be aware of a danger that isn’t discussed often.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless toxic gas that can lead to symptoms like headaches, nausea and fatigue. The symptoms are similar to the flu, only the symptoms typically go away upon leaving the environment.

Winter is the peak season for carbon mon-

oxide poisoning, since people spend more of their time indoors in buildings heated by natural gas, propane, wood stoves or fireplaces. Victims often suffer from the symptoms and don’t realize what is happening.

Wellik said more than 500 Americans die each year due to unintentional carbon monoxide poisonings, and nationally, there are about 15,000 visits to emergency rooms annually. People age 65 or older are especially vulnerable to unintentional poisoning due to their high occurrence of pre-existing medical conditions.

If carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected, move the victim outside to fresh air immediately, and get them to an emergency room or call

911. If you are the one that is sick, you should not drive. Carbon monoxide poisoning can usually be found by a simple blood test done at a hospital soon after exposure.

Here is a list of tips and dos and don’ts from Wellik regarding carbon monoxide: • Install a carbon monoxide detector.

While CO alarms can save lives, fewer than one third of American homes have them installed.

• Furnaces, fireplaces, water heaters and other heat producing items that use fuel or wood must be vented and working properly in order to prevent the build up of carbon monoxide.

• Have a heating professional inspect, clean, and adjust all fireplaces, wood stoves, gas appli-

File photo The Newton Fire Department responded to a call in late October in downtown Newton for what turned out to be a carbon monoxide leak. With severe cold weather hitting the area, Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik reminds the public it’s important to monitor conditions and be on the lookout for symptoms of exposure to the odorless gas that is carbon monoxide.

Iowa unemployment rate drops to 3.5 percent DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased slightly to 3.5 percent in October from 3.6 percent in September. The state’s jobless rate was 4.3 percent one year ago.

“Iowa’s economy continues to improve” said Beth Townsend, Director of Iowa Workforce Development. “Total nonfarm em-

ployment added jobs for the second consecutive month, and the number of unemployed Iowans continued to trend down. The state’s unemployment rate for October now rests at 3.5 percent and is evidence of the strength of Iowa’s economy.”

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,644,500 in October, 4,000 higher than

September and 5,000 higher than one year ago.

For the second straight month, total nonfarm employment added jobs and now sits at 1,577,300 jobs. Government advanced this month due to larger-than-expected seasonal hiring in local government education and is little changed versus one year ago (-100).

Professional and business services surged ahead in October thanks primarily to hiring in administrative and waste management. This is the third consecutive month of growth for this sector which has added 4,500 jobs since July. Alternatively, losses this month were small, but evident in most sectors this month; the exceptions were lei-

sure and hospitality (-1,900) and manufacturing (-1,000).

Nonfarm employment remains up 22,300 jobs (+1.4 percent). Professional and business services has now added the most jobs since last October (+6,500) followed by education and health services (+5,800) then construction (+3,700) and other services (+3,700).

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Purple Gardenia Boutique, with owners Susan Grigsby and Nacy Engozzi, and Hunter Mansion owner Megan Pryke, center, is open for business in the Hunter Mansion with jewelry, scarves, ladies’ apparel and many more unique and one-of-a-kind items available.

The Purple Gardenia Boutique open at Hunter Mansion

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Back in the business, the Purple Gardenia Boutique has unique gifts available in a special location. Housed in the Hunter Mansion, 223 W. Fourth St. S., the boutique has one-of-a-kind items that owners Susan Grigsby and Nancy Engozzi picked out especially for the shop.

“Susan and I are the original owners of Shay’s Tea Room & Gifts which was in the Hunter Mansion. Although neither of us cooked or drank tea very often, we wanted to have a business that brought some fun to Newton at a time when it was struggling,” Engozzi said.

While operating the tea room and gift shop, the two found their favorite part of the business by far was the gift shop. After saying goodbye to the business several years later, the two were more than excited to get back in the business

when new owner of the Hunter Mansion, Megan Pryke, called for some advice.

“When Megan called and asked for advice on running the gift shops, we decided it was a good time for us to get back into the business, and Megan agreed,” Engozzi said. “Susan and I love shopping, decorating, and talking to the customers, so it is a perfect business for us. It seems in just the few days we’ve been open, that our previous customers are very glad we are back and so are we.”

The boutique opened last week and will have hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday. With the motto “We well what we love” the two spend hours shopping for the perfect items in locations as far away as California.

“We are able to sell things at very reasonable prices because we do a lot of our shopping in the garment district in LA, eliminating the middle vendor

costs and a lot of the shipping costs. As I work in California one week a month, and I’m able to bring a lot of items back in my suitcases,” Engozzi said.

“We also buy items at the Orange County Market Place in California and at smaller boutiques that also will sell wholesale. We also buy from other cash and carry vendors in nearby states.”

Purses, scarves, ladies’ apparel, a wide assortment of jewelry and some giftware are available in the boutique. Typically, they will only carry just one or two of any item Engozzi said, so if a guest sees something they love, they should grab it right away because it may not be there at the next visit.

The boutique will also have a room full of “slightly used” and sale items in the coming weeks.

Don’t let fear win

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 23, 2015

When I traveled for the first time to Montana in the summer of 2014 I was able to meet and get a photo with Gov. Steve Bullock on my first day in Big Sky Country.

Bullock was likely the most prominent and influential person I met during my trip. He gave a powerful speech about building inclusive communities, and I really appreciated him being a part of a conference that celebrated such efforts.

However, it wasn’t a politician who made a lasting impression on me, it was a group of men who profess the Sikh faith. My favorite image from that trip isn’t of me and the governor; it’s of me smiling up at Kanwardeep, a tall, brown-skinned man who wears both a full beard and a turban. Likewise, my favorite memory is of Kanwardeep dancing carefree and joyously following a long day that repeatedly revisited the tragedy in his hometown of

Oak Creek, Wis. The 2012 incident in which a white supremacist gunned down six people in the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin is well-documented.

Kanwardeep’s uncle was among them — he was slayed while trying to defend his house of worship. The men and women were killed on a Sunday morning while practicing their faith, and how the community pulled together and healed together is a powerful story and one I’d recommend you explore.

Kanwardeep, now a medical student, served in a pivotal role of connecting community leaders to the unfamiliar Sikh community. Pardeep and Kami, who both lost parents in the shooting, are equally as inspiring. Pardeep founded a nonprofit that works to foster cultural understanding and peace in Milwaukee schools.

Inspired by a police officer who was shot 15 times on the scene of the Sikh temple shooting, Kami

was exploring a career in law enforcement.

Last week I thought of these men because I know that despite not being of the Muslim faith, they might be suffering because of the assumption. Sikhs aren’t Muslims or Hindus, as was repeatedly over-reported in the wake of the Oak Creek tragedy.

To clarify the difference leaves the perception there is something wrong with the other faiths.

Characteristics like brown skin and beards have conjured up misunderstanding and hate ever since 9/11. Now, following the Paris attacks, a new paranoia has arisen — and it’s wrong. We are letting fear win.

This is perpetuated by leaders who suggest it’s an acceptable practice to lump a group of people from one country, culture or faith and label them as good or bad. This practice, which encourages us to look for dif-

ferences instead of similarities, oftentimes glorifies their own Christian faith. As human beings we have to realize we’re all in this together.

My Sikh friends didn’t let fear win after their religious community and families were savagely attacked. Instead they became more committed to learning about others, and helping them.

While threatened, these men of the Sikh faith sought peace for themselves and others. It’s an example that should be emulated.

We are foolish if we don’t think people of different faiths and ethnicities aren’t being wrongly targeted because fear is winning. Are you willing to stand up against hate and say no to fear?

Eye on America

Anti-liberty politicians

Another View

O’Malley is only candidate with record of actions

By George Appleby While Gov. Martin O’Malley has made 20 trips to Iowa since April, his sterling debate performance last month and fiery speech at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner were really his introduction to millions of Americans.

And what an introduction it was!

What a surprise it must have been for many to realize this is a three-person race for the Democratic nomination, not a battle only between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

As a big-city mayor and twoterm governor with 15 years of executive experience he brings a fresh perspective based on his record of getting things done.

And as someone with political independence and a record of following his principles — not polls — Martin O’Malley is the best choice to be our Democratic nominee.

As we look ahead to the second debate at Drake on Saturday, the choice between the candidates will become even clearer.

We need new leadership, and someone who can actually deliver results.

O’Malley served as mayor of Baltimore for seven years, having to grapple with the myriad problems of urban life on a daily basis and find solutions to those challenges. As governor, he brought people together from both parties to achieve progressive results: passing strict gun safety legislation, repealing the

death penalty, adopting marriage equality, raising the minimum wage, and investing in education to make Maryland public schools number one in the country for five years in a row.

We need new courageous leadership, not only to take on the NRA and stand up to Wall Street, but to move this country forward and start getting things done again. The American people want a president who will lead, to revitalize the middle class, rein in Wall Street greed and curtail the murderous availability of assault weapons. That’s Martin O’Malley.

O’Malley has made Iowa a central part of his campaign, focusing on grassroots organizing — the same way we did when we first worked together years ago on Gary Hart’s come-from-behind campaign.

I’m so proud that the Americans and Iowans are finally getting to see the Martin O’Malley I have known for years as a principled man, collaborative leader, and someone who delivers results.

In the 2008 presidential cycle, Sen. Barack Obama argued for a new generation of leadership, and Iowans made his election possible. As Iowans, we can play that role again in 2016.

This is a critical moment in our nation’s history. President Obama — a truly transformative president — saved us from a total economic collapse and delivered on important prior-

ities like Obamacare. We are again at a political crossroads.

It is time to move on; it is time for a new generation to lead the Democratic Party and our country.

With major challenges facing our country, and more urgency even than in 2008 as we fight to make wages rise again, it is time to move on from leaders of the past and architects of Wall Street deregulation; it is time for a new generation to lead the Democratic Party.

For all the combined experience of those considered the frontrunners in our party, none on that stage other than Governor O’Malley has been an executive in charge, working day in and day out deliver results.

While others may profess progressive values, they all hold the perspective of the last generation instead of the executive experience to back up their vision for how build a better future.

This election provides an opportunity for our Democratic Party to unshackle itself from the past and look to new, executive leadership for the myriad challenges facing the country in a still-new century.

There will be only one candidate on that debate stage who will provide new, principled leadership: Gov. Martin O’Malley.

After a terrorist attack, it’s natural to ask: What can politicians do to keep us safe?

One thing t h e y could do is actually focus on keeping us safe rather than By John Stossel devoting so much time, energy and hot air to the many things government does instead of protecting lives and property.

My state’s politicians are particularly bad.

New York’s legislators regularly go to jail for taking bribes to pass, or not pass, special regulations.

One recent governor, Eliot Spitzer, perhaps because his rich father gave him money, didn’t take bribes (to my knowledge). Instead, he had sex with prostitutes, meanwhile publicly declaring that sex work was “modern-day slavery.” He then signed a law that increased penalties for people caught doing it. When Spitzer was caught, he resigned.

He’s a felon, but he managed to avoid jail.

Today, New Yorkers suffer under a new anti-liberty politician, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

He hasn’t been jailed yet, but the public would be better served if he were.

Schneiderman pushes “pro-consumer” laws that win media attention while depriving consumers of good choices.

Schneiderman has sought to limit wonderful “sharing economy” innovations like Uber and Airbnb.

Home-sharing companies let people rent out their apartments while they’re away. Ride-hailing companies efficiently bring together customers and products that might have just sat around unused.

But to Schneiderman (and economically clue-

less autocrats in some other states), these innovations are dangerous “unregulated” services.

Politicians want politicians to decide what you use your property for.

After Airbnb delighted tourists by giving them better and cheaper vacation experiences, Schneiderman issued a press release announcing that he was “aggressively tackling this growing problem.”

I suspect his real motive was tackling campaign contributions from hotels and their Democrat-supporting unions. Politicians are also eager to collect hotel taxes, which in New York City, add 15 percent to your bill.

Schneiderman launched his lawyers at Uber, claiming that the company’s “surge” pricing violates price-gouging laws. Calling price increases “gouging” is a way politicians mislead consumers into thinking that government must protect us. But competition protects us from unfair prices better than government ever can.

Uber’s ever-changing prices ensure cars are available when consumers most want them. No one is tricked into paying a higher price. It’s clearly marked on your phone and passengers are given every chance to decline it.

Attorney General Schneiderman also continued his predecessors’ ban on “mixed martial arts” contests. When MMA first became visible, some politicians called it “barbaric” and “unregulated.”

Several states banned it, a move some politicians make against most anything new and different.

But while states were busy banning it, it became one of the most popular and lucrative sports in America. Smarter states got rid of their bans, but not New York. MMA supporters and the Ultimate Fighting Championship are fighting the ban. May the best man win — and the regulators lose.

Better mental health care may prevent future violence DEAR ABBY: I have listened to our president and various candidates comment on gun control after the shooting at the college in Oregon. Do you remember the saying, “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people”? Gun control is not going to stop this.

What IS needed (or at least would help) is more mental health care. It seems every time a person takes the notion to shoot others, someone says, “He was depressed.” Never during the 20 years I have battled depression have I ever wanted to shoot anyone. There have been times when the urge to shoot myself was almost overwhelming, but I NEVER felt like shooting a bunch of strangers.

Abby, I’m writing this to defend those of us who are truly fighting depression. — DEPRESSED IN TEXAS DEAR DEPRESSED: Misinformation about mental illness is a contributor to the stigma that surrounds it.

The triggers that have led to the plague of mass shootings in this country are the result of individuals with severe psychosis and the impossible task their families have faced in getting their loved ones the ongoing medical and psychiatric treatment they needed.

DEAR ABBY: The man I lived with for 25 years, “Craig,” and I have split. It was my decision. He now has a new woman in his life, and she is pregnant. Craig and I share a 23-year-old son.

Craig calls me often. He’s my best friend and I wish him the best, but I get the feeling he is unhappy with this woman and feels trapped. He calls to ask me for advice and talk about the problems he has with her.

The woman has forbidden him to have contact with me so he has to sneak the calls. Should I not talk to him anymore, or leave it to him to make that decision? It seems to me he still needs me in his life as a friend. Is

he emotionally cheating on this new woman? — SYMPATHETIC EX IN VIRGINIA DEAR EX: If Craig needs counseling, he should be getting it from an unbiased professional. His lady friend obviously views you as her rival, which is why she has forbidden him to contact you.

It’s time to ask yourself how being in the middle of this makes you feel. If the answer is “not good,” then tell Craig you don’t want to cause problems in his new relationship, and sneaking around is dishonest and childish. And yes, this is a form of cheating because Craig is still emotionally dependent on you.

DEAR ABBY: I am a woman who works in an office building. What’s the proper etiquette when the cleaning service is cleaning the restroom? If it’s a woman, I tend to go in anyway. If it’s a man, I wait (most of the time). — RESTROOM ETIQUETTE DEAR R.E.: I don’t think there is a rule of etiquette regarding this. When the cleaning crew (or janitor) is in the restroom, there is usually a sign posted to that effect. In many cases, if the janitor is a male in a women’s restroom, he will immediately exit the room. However, if that doesn’t happen, it’s then up to the individual to determine if her call of nature is so urgent it must be heeded immediately.

IOWA CITY — Following criticism and protests over his hiring earlier this fall, the new president of the University of Iowa is getting some support from Iowa’s business community.

Iowa biodiesel plant

SIOUX CITY — An Omaha, Nebraska, soybean processor is moving ahead with a $38 million expansion of its biodiesel plant south of Sioux City that will nearly double production of the soy-based fuel. Ag Processing Inc. is planning the expansion at its Port Neal plant, which was the nation’s first commercial-scale biodiesel plant when it opened in 1996. The plant currently produces up to 30 million gallons per year.

Officials adopted a package of incentives to help finance the biodiesel expansion.

Kelley urges locals to sign petition against Medicaid privitization Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) is asking Jasper County residents to voice their concerns regarding Gov. Terry Branstad’s rush to privatize Medicaid, which serves 565,000 Iowans including seniors, those with disabilities, kids and expecting moms.

“There are still many unanswered questions regarding the governor’s rush to privatize Medicaid. I have signed the petition and I would encourage those who have concerns to sign as well. The petition will ask the federal government to delay implementation for another six months,” Kelley said.

The petition can be signed at iowansforqualitymedicaid.com and has

already generated more than 4,000 signatures in just over a week. The petition and signatures are being delivered to federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) officials in Washington, D.C., who still have to approve the Governor’s plan before it takes effect on Jan. 1.

In addition to consumers, health care providers and non-profits are also expressing deep concerns about the Governor’s Medicaid plan. They are being pressured to sign contracts with new private companies without knowing how much they will be paid for services. Iowa hospitals even filed a lawsuit last week to stop the governor’s rush to privatization.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM Now Available!

Only $19.99 plus tax

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Iowa mayor’s support of Syrian refugees stirs community DES MOINES (AP) — The mayor of the small eastern Iowa city of Swisher announced recently he would defy state orders to halt the acceptance of Syrian refugees, gaining plenty of attention as well as concerns from some local residents who say they’re unsure what to think about the sudden spotlight on their community.

Swisher, a city of about 900 people just south of Cedar Rapids, has a tiny main street

“Especially coming from a mayor of a tiny town.”

Cardinals notch Classic opener in win column

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Something different happened in a season-opening basketball game for Newton High’s Cardinal girls Saturday afternoon. The Cardinals rolled to a victory in their opening contest for the first time in three years.

“It’s really nice to start the season off with a win.

The last couple of seasons haven’t been that way for us,” senior Alex Hutchinson said following a 61-24 win against Bondurant-Farrar’s Lady Jays. “We had a lot of momentum coming into this game just off our practices.”

Newton High head coach Brandon Sharp said his team was primed and ready for the contest. The Cardinals had to push back their opener one day because of Friday’s winter storm.

The 2015 Newton Cardinal Classic Holiday Basketball Tournament was to have gotten under way Friday with two games. The consolation and championship games were slated for Saturday afternoon.

Newton moved the first-round games to Saturday. Preseason Class 4A 15th-ranked Carlisle defeated North Polk, 52-43, in the first game.

The tournament cham-

pionship and consolation games will be played at a later date, according to NHS athletic director Scott Garvis.

The Cardinals take on Carlisle for the championship. North Polk and Bondurant-Farrar will play in the consolation contest.

“What I was most impressed with from our players is how well they moved the ball on offense,” Sharp said. “We shot the ball pretty well also.

“We’ve focused 90 percent of our time in practice on defense. It showed today. The intense, in-your-bubble type of defense we put on Bondurant-Farrar is what we want against every team.”

Newton gave up 10 points in the first half of play. The Cardinals yielded six field goals in the game. Bondurant-Farrar went 11-of-19 from the free-throw line.

Senior post player Jessica Reynolds had the first two baskets of the game for Newton. It was 8-6 when junior Courtney Jacobsen came off the bench to net the first of her four 3-point field goals Taylor Shipley, another junior off the bench, scored to push Newton’s CARDINALS | 3B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News No where to go on the drive for Bondurant-Farrar’s Lizzy Trulson (11) as Newton High seniors Alex Hutchinson and Hannah Rhoads (44) clamp down their defense in the first half of Saturday’s season-opener. Newton posted a 61-24 win over the Lady Jays in the first round of the Newton Cardinal Classic Holdiay Basketball Tournament.

Iowa tops Purdue, clinches Big Ten West Division title IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa barely acknowledged winning the Big Ten West.

The Hawkeyes have much bigger goals.

C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes and No. 6 Iowa clinched the West title and a spot in the Big Ten championship game with a 40-20 win over Purdue on Saturday.

LeShun Daniels Jr. ran for two touchdowns for the Hawkeyes (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP), who’ll play at Nebraska next week in search of their first 12-0 regular season — just a year after finishing 7-6.

“To me, it’s just a matter of us focusing a little bit harder. Doing a little bit better,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “But ultimately it comes to everybody doing a much better job.”

Iowa let Purdue get within 20-13 in the third quarter. But Beathard’s 22-yard touchdown pass to Henry Krieger-Coble with 8:40 left sealed yet another victory for the Hawkeyes, who dashed off the field rather than celebrate after the final whistle with a trip to Nebraska just six days away.

AMES (AP) — Paul Rhoads was one of the most popular coaches at Iowa State. He just didn’t win enough to keep his job.

Iowa State said that athletic director Jamie Pollard told Rhoads on Sunday that he’s out after seven seasons.

Rhoads went 32-54 with the Rhoads Cyclones. But he won just eight games in his final three seasons as the program slipped back into mediocrity.

Rhoads led Iowa State to just its third bowl win in his first season. But Iowa State is 3-8 this season; blowing a 35-28 lead with 1:31 to go in Saturday’s loss at Kansas State.

An upset win over the nation’s top-ranked team has certainly changed that narrative.

The Panthers used a 29-8 stretch over 12 minutes of the second half to turn a 50-34 deficit into a 63-58 lead, and held on for the upset.

PCM girls rally past Knoxville in opener

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — Both girls’ basketball teams at Prairie City-Monroe and Knoxville lost significant players from last year’s successful squads that wound up in the top two positions of their respective conferences.

So as the new season began both programs were ready to see how some new faces looked in different roles, and the Mustangs came out on top, rallying from an early deficit to win 35-30 on Saturday night.

Knoxville (0-1) led 10-4 after one quarter and held a one-point advantage at halftime, but PCM (1-0) scored 25 points in the second half to

Vande Wall

Jennings

win its season opener.

The Mustangs won the third quarter 10-6 and then finished off the Panthers with a 14-12 surplus in the final frame.

“We definitely improved from our jamboree, but we also grew a little bit,” first-year PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

“As our defense ramped up,

so did our offense. We transitioned a lot of steals into easy buckets at the other end.”

PCM’s defense triggered its offense in the second half.

Kayla Jennings finished five steals, while Katie Vande Wall and Jayci Vos both had four steals and Emily Hugen added three steals in the win.

Vande Wall led the Mustangs’ balanced attack with eight points.

Vos and Jennings each scored six, while Hugen had five and Karina Van Dyke and Bailey Brodersen each scored four.

Van Dyke and Brodersen had a team-high six rebounds, while Vande Wall chipped in five boards. Jennings dished out a team-high three assists.

K-State snares win over ISU on last-second kick

Upset Continued from Page 1B “They had to play their tails off in that second half. The game was just about over with 15 minutes left and our guys hung in there and made a couple shots,” Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson said.

“That last 10 minutes, I couldn’t ask any more from our guys.”

Northern Iowa (2-1) also got 19 points from Matt Bohannon — whose 3-pointer with 2:51 left gave Northern Iowa the lead for good — and 14 points from Paul Jesperson.

Justin Jackson had 25 points for the Tar Heels (3-1), who didn’t force a single turnover in the second half.

North Carolina star Marcus Paige, who grew up in nearby Marion, Iowa, didn’t play in what was supposed to be a homecoming game because of a broken bone in his right hand.

The Tar Heels missed him badly him, as Paige’s replacement, Joel Berry, had just five points on 2-of-7 shooting.

“To have something like this happen this early in the season ... to have it happen for our guys is great. It’s a great way for them to build a little momentum and build some confidence.

We all know had Marcus played, the game could’ve been very different,” Jacobson said.

North Carolina appeared to be in control in the first half.

But Washpun made a half-court 3 at the buzzer to pull the Panthers within 41-32, and Jeremy Morgan’s 3 cut it to 52-48.

Wyatt Lohaus gave Northern Iowa the lead with 9:21 left, and the Panthers were able to finish off one of the biggest upsets of the young season.

It was the biggest win for Northern Iowa since 2010, when it stunned top-seeded Kansas to reach the Sweet Sixteen.

It also sent a message to Wichita State and the rest of the Missouri Valley that the Panthers are ready to contend for another league title.

“I told ( Jacobson) I felt great for him and his squad. Very disappointed in me, more so than my team,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. “We acted like a team that had not been coached very well.”

Northern Iowa plays at North Dakota on Nov. 28.

“Down the stretch, we were able to play well with a lead and hit our free throws in the fourth quarter,” Lindsay said.

“We took good shots, too. We ran our offense until we had a good look at the basket.”

PCM turned it over 12 times.

It made 7-of-12 from the line and 4-of-6 in the fourth quarter.

The Mustangs look for their second win of the year when they head to Jefferson to face Greene County on Tuesday.

PCM defeated the Rams by more than 30 points in both of their meetings last year.

Ross Thede/Marshalltown Times-Republican Iowa senior tailback Jordan Canzeri led the Hawkeyes with 95 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries Saturday as the Hawkeyes improved to 11-0 with a 40-20 win over Purdue at Kinnick Stadium.

Hawkeyes Continued from Page 1B The conditions seemed ideal for the run-heavy, defensive-minded Hawkeyes.

But once again, it was Beathard who made the plays that helped keep Iowa unbeaten.

Daniels opened the scoring with a 2-yard touchdown. He then went 13 yards to give Iowa a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, and Beathard’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Matt VandeBerg made it 20-0.

But Iowa went into a brief funk — and Purdue got going after starting quarterback David Blough went out with an apparent head injury.

The Boilermakers closed to 2013 by halftime on a 1-yard touchdown by Markell Jones and two short field goals by Paul Griggs.

Jones had 87 yards rushing for the Boilermakers.

Beathard made Purdue pay for a number of missed opportunities though, finding George Kittle for a 35-yard touchdown pass and a 2713 lead late in the third. Beathard finished with 213 yards passing and tied a season high for touchdown

Rhoads

Continued from Page 1B Iowa State signed Rhoads to a 10-year, $20 million contract before the 2012 season.

Rhoads is due a buyout of roughly $4.5 million under the terms of that deal.

Rhoads will coach his final game with Iowa State on Saturday at West Virginia.

He and Pollard will be available for comment on Monday.

Rhoads, a defensive coordinator at Pitt (2000-07) and Auburn (2008), was something of an unknown commodity when he was hired to replace Gene Chizik before the 2009 season.

But Rhoads quickly won over a weary fan base by fin-

passes in the worst conditions Iowa had seen all year.

Senior Jordan Canzeri, in his final carry at Kinnick Stadium, ran for a 42-yard touchdown with 2:12 left that kicked off a celebration in Iowa City, with fans chanting “Let’s Go Hawks!”

“Really a fitting end,” Ferentz said. “A great moment for him. A guy who has gone through a lot, and he’s been a strong leader. A very positive leader.”

Now the Hawkeyes — picked to finish in the middle of the West by nearly pundit in August — are just two victories away from a possible playoff berth.

“It’s definitely a day I’ll carry (with me) for the rest of my life,” Iowa center Austin Blythe said.

Next up for Iowa is a date on the road Friday with the rival Cornhuskers, a game that now means nearly nothing in the league standings but everything as far as the playoffs are concerned.

“We haven’t looked ahead to any games. There have been opportunities to with all the outside noise,” Beathard said. “We want to win every game this season ... and we’re focused on Nebraska.”

ishing 7-6 and beating Minnesota in a bowl game.

The early years of his tenure were marked by a series of upsets over the likes of Nebraska and Texas on the road.

In 2011, the Cyclones stunned then-second ranked Oklahoma State in double overtime to knock the Cowboys out of national title contention.

Rhoads’ fiery but approachable persona also was a big hit with Iowa State fans, as were his passionate postgame locker room talks.

But all those speeches couldn’t mask a declining onfield product.

Iowa State dipped to 3-9 in 2013, and Rhoads made several changes to his staff.

He brought in former Kansas coach Mark Mangino to fix

M A N H A T TA N , Kan. (AP) — Jack Cantele kicked a 42-yard field goal with three seconds left to cap Kansas State’s 38-35 comefrom-behind victory over Iowa State on Saturday.

Kansas State (4-6, 1-6 Big 12 Conference) recovered three Iowa State (3-8, 2-6) fumbles in the final seven minutes and rallied from a 35-14 first-half deficit.

Joe Hubener had 216 yards passing and a touchdown, and had 20 carries for 90 yards to lead Kansas State, which needed the win to stay bowl eligible.

Charles Jones ran for 65 yards and two touchdowns.

Iowa State’s Joel Lanning threw for 195 yards and three touchdown passes, two to Allen Lazard in the first half.

Mike Warren ran for 195 yards with a 76-yard touchdown run in the second quarter for the Cyclones.

Jones ran for an 8-yard score, and Hubener threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Kody Cook to make it 35-28 early in the fourth quarter.

Warren fumbled with 7:26 to play, and Duke Shelley recovered it at the Cyclones 32.

On the ensuing series, Hubener threw incomplete on fourth-and-6 to stall the drive.

Warren fumbled again with 1:31 to play, and Elijah Lee recovered at the Wildcat 44.

Jones ran for a 5-yard touchdown to tie it at 35 with 42 seconds left.

Marquel Bryant then sacked and forced a Lanning fumble. It was

the offense, which turned disastrous when Mangino and Rhoads parted ways earlier this season.

The Cyclones won twice last season, performing so badly in their finale that the playoff committee bumped TCU out of the top four despite beating Iowa State by 52 points.

Iowa State entered this season with a newly-expanded stadium that gave the program some life. But a 31-17 loss to Iowa and blowout defeats against Texas Tech, TCU and Oklahoma sent the Cyclones to the bottom of the Big 12.

The Cyclones blew a 17-point lead in a home loss at Oklahoma State in their home finale on Nov. 14.

But the final blow to

recovered by Charmeachealle Moore on the Cyclone 25 to set up Cantele’s game-winner two plays later.

Kansas State has won eight straight against Iowa State. The Cyclones have not won in Manhattan, Kansas since 1988.

Kansas State’s defense forced a threeand-out on the opening drive for the first time in seven games. But Iowa State opened the scoring on its next series when Lanning threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Trever Ryen with 9:26 to play in the first quarter.

The Wildcats pieced together its only offensive scoring drive of the first half with a trickplay.

Fullback Glenn Gronkowski threw a 4-yard jump pass to Winston Dimel to cap a 9-play, 65-yard drive.

Lanning ran for a 1-yard score, and then threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Lazard to stretch the Cyclones lead to 21-7.

Morgan Burns, who was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday, returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards to pull the Wildcats to 21-14.

Warren had his touchdown run, and Lanning connected on a 16-yard scoring strike to Lazard with 29 seconds left in the first half to give the Cyclones a 3514 halftime lead.

Rhoads’ tenure came in Manhattan on Saturday.

Iowa State chose to run the ball rather than take a knee with 91 seconds left and fumbled; allowing the Wildcats to pull off a stunning comeback.

The real question for Iowa State is where it goes from here.

The Cyclones will be searching for a new coach during what should be one of the most hectic offseasons the sport has ever had.

Places like Missouri, Virginia Tech, Illinois, Maryland, Southern California and South Carolina are looking for new coaches, and Iowa State’s reputation as a “coaching graveyard” should leave them well down in the pecking order.

NASCAR Xfinity Series Jones claims NASCAR title goes to Buescher Truck Series 2015 title Crafton wins the NCWTS finale

Larson takes Xfinity Series final race HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Chris Buescher never made a major mistake, never got rattled and never even tried to contend for a victory.

He gladly settled for a championship.

Buescher won the Xfinity Series title Saturday, helping offset the sting of an unsatisfying season in Sprint Cup for Roush Fenway Racing.

The 23-year-old Buescher won the championship by finishing 11th in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, bringing home a fifth second-tier series crown for team owner Jack Roush.

“I was a little bit nervous, but all things considered, that was exactly what we needed to do,” Buescher said. “And we knew that and we knew we were capable of doing this. We made it through and now we get to celebrate.”

Buescher was the last driver on the lead lap and finished 15.9 seconds behind race winner Kyle Larson.

Larson had led most of the race early and cleared Austin Dillon for good with four laps left for his third career Xfinity win.

“I love this track,” Larson said. “I almost won the last two races here the last two years. It feels good to finally get it done.”

Dillon, the 2013 series champion, was second, followed by Truck Series champ Erik Jones, Brian Scott and Ryan Blaney.

Buescher needed to finish 13th or better without leading a lap to win the championship in Homestead. He also held off defending series champion Chase Elliott, Ty Dillon and Regan Smith, all within striking distance of knocking off Buescher.

Dillon was seventh, Elliott was eighth and Smith ninth.

In 33 starts in the No. 60 Mustang, Buescher posted wins at Iowa and Dover.

He had 11 top-fives, and 20 top-10s.

“I’m not a points racer,” he said. “I don’t like it. It’s not the most fun way to run the last 10 races of the season. But it’s important. This is what we’ve been fighting for since February and Daytona.”

Not as well-known as his closest three rivals, Buescher held the lead this season for 23 straight weeks. He denied Elliott’s bid to go back-to-back in his final full Xfinity season. Elliott finished 15 points

behind Buescher.

Elliott, the son of Hall of Fame inductee and 1988 NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, is taking over Jeff Gordon’s ride in the No. 24 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports next year. The team had to find a seat for him at NASCAR’s top level or risk losing the 19-year-old to another organization.

Buescher, a former ARCA champion in his second full Xfinity season, joined Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards and twotime champ Ricky Stenhouse Jr. as series championship drivers for Roush.

Ford also wrapped up the manufacturer’s championship for the fifth time and Roger Penske claimed the owner’s championship. Daniel Suarez won rookie of the year with a sixth-place finish.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B lead to 13-6 with two minutes left in the first quarter. Junior guard Ryanne Rausch drilled a trey for the Cardinals, and Newton was up 16-8 at the end of the period.

Senior guard Taylor Moon and junior forward Megan Pressgrove hit backto-back outside shots for the Cardinals to begin the second period. Pressgrove had a putback to make it 22-8 at the 5:49 mark.

Newton outscored the Lady Jays 16-2 in the second quarter. The two were free throws by Josie McShane.

Moon had 3-pointer and Rausch downed two free throws to make it 27-10.

Junior post player Ellie Horn blocked a Lady Jay shot which sent the basketball into the hands of Hutchinson. Hutchinson finished a 3-on-2 break with a basket. Jacobsen fired in another 3-pointer to end the first-half scoring, putting Newton in front 32-10.

“We’re really excited about this season in having 11 people to play varsity.

One of our players couldn’t play today, but we each have our strengths,” Hutchinson said. “It’s a lot of give-andtake out there which keeps it balanced. We’re committed to playing together, to playing for each other and to playing as a team.”

Newton opened the third quarter on a 6-1 run to increase its led to 38-11 by the 4:42 mark. The offensive pace slowed a bit

the rest of the period with the Cardinals taking a 4015 advantage into the final eight minutes of play.

Shipley swiped the basketball from the Lady Jays and scored on a layup to begin the fourth quarter.

The pace picked back up as Newton outscored Bondurant-Farrar 21-9 down the stretch.

“Our defense was pretty solid. We did get a bit tired in the second half,” Sharp said. “We’ve stressed to play on instinct at both ends of the court. We did that in the first half, but slipped a bit in the second half.”

Newton played 10 and they all scored. Jacobsen led the way with 12 points followed by Rhoads with nine and Shipley with eight.

The Cardinals connected for eight 3-pointers in the game. They were 3-of-5

from the line.

“In the five years I’ve been here, this is the deepest team we’ve had. Victoria Jordan injured her thumb earlier this week in practice and couldn’t play in this game. With this group of 11 players, there is not a drop off,” Sharp said.

McShane scored seven points for Bondurant-Farrar and Emily Dearden had six.

Carlisle held a 27-16 halftime lead against North Polk Saturday and it was 41-21 after three quarters.

North Polk climbed back into the game in the fourth quarter, down by eight with two minutes left. Carlisle held on for the 52-43 win.

Agatha Beier led Carlisle with 21 points and Gabby Schnathorst added 14 points. North Polk got 19 points from Rachel Zimmerman and 11 from Riley Murphy.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Erik Jones is the youngest champion in NASCAR Truck Series history.

The 19-year-old Jones won the title by finishing sixth in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday night, giving Sprint Cup driver Kyle Busch his fourth championship as a team owner.

Matt Crafton won the 200mile race for his sixth victory of the year and 11th in 361 career starts. The 39-year-old Crafton won the last two series championship but was essentially eliminated once Jones and fellow teenager Tyler Reddick started the race.

Crafton, Jones and Reddick were the only drivers still in the running for the championship in Homestead. But Crafton needed lots of help to make it three in a row.

Jones, meanwhile, needed to finish 15th or better in the finale to wrap up the title. He had little trouble getting it done, spending much of the night running in the top 10.

Austin Dillon previously held the record as the youngest series champion, winning the title in 2011 at age 21. Dillon moved up to the NASCAR’s second-tier Xfinity Series the following year.

Jones is expected to run a full season for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Xfinity Series next season.

Jones also made three Cup starts this year, filling in for Busch early in the year and subbing for suspended Matt Kenseth the last two weeks.

Busch and Jones first crossed paths in January 2012 at a super late model race in Cordele, Georgia. Jones blew by Busch early in the event, making a strong first impression.

Later that year, at the Snowball Derby in Pensacola, Jones raced door-to-door with Busch and ended up beating the NASCAR star to the finish line.

In 2013, after NASCAR lowered the minimum age requirement for short tracks, Kyle Busch

NASCAR Photo Erik Jones, driver of the No. 4 Toyota, celebrates in victory lane after winning the 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship Friday at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla.

Motorsports signed the then-16year-old Jones to a five-race deal in the Truck Series. Jones finished in the top 10 in each of his first four starts and then became the youngest winner of a NASCAR national series event at Phoenix International Raceway.

Jones doubled his racing schedule in 2014 and again helped KBM clinch the owner’s championship behind the wheel of the No. 51 Toyota. Busch and Jones responded by vowing to win both the driver’s and owner’s championships this season.

They got it done Friday.

John Hunter Nemechek finished second, a strong showing at the track where his uncle died in 1997. Three months before John Hunter Nemechek was born, John Nemechek died at age 27 from head injuries sustained in a crash at Homestead.

John Hunter Nemechek paid tribute to his late uncle and namesake by racing a No. 8 Chevrolet Silverado — his uncle’s car number — in the season finale.

Reddick was third, followed by Ben Kennedy and Timothy Peters.

Sprint Cup Continued from Page 1B getting back and getting focused was the hardest part, the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. To put it all together here tonight, this night wasn’t all that hard,” Busch said.

He won the season finale Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway to claim the title, and knocked Kevin Harvick from his perch as reigning champion.

Busch also denied Jeff Gordon a fifth crown in his final race.

Harvick finished a distant second, Gordon was sixth, and Martin Truex Jr., the fourth driver in the championship field, finished 12th.

“You always want to win, but I’ve learned not to be greedy,” Harvick said after his 12th second-place finish of the year cost him the championship.

There was a strong sentimental push for Gordon to go out on top in his final race. But he was only average all season, and that didn’t change Sunday night in front of a huge contingent of friends and family that included Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton and Mario Andretti, who both sat atop his pit box at the start of the race.

Gordon led nine laps early in the race and was third for an early restart but he bobbled it and plummeted to eighth. That was about as good as he’d be the rest of the race as he struggled mightily with the handling of his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.

“Gosh, I’m a little disappointed, I’ll be honest,” Gordon said.

“I thought going into the race we had something for them.”

Gordon eventually made his way to victory lane to congratulate Busch, who began his ca-

reer as Gordon’s teammate at Hendrick Motorsports. Temper tantrums and wrecked race cars led to his release before the 2008 season, and Busch has been chasing a Cup championship ever since. He’s the most successful driver in the second-tier Xfinity Series and on Friday he captured his fourth owners’ championship in the Truck Series.

Board Members serving on the Bond Committee include Andy Elbert, Josh Cantu, and Travis Padget (absent). Both spoke on recent meetings and gave feedback on Leigh McGivern's (BasicLeigh Communications) presentation on services she could offer to the bond referendum process.

Audience members serving on the Bond Committee included Fran Henderson and Doug Smith who were invited to give their input on the same topics.

Discussion led to seeking a decision on a bond referendum date and schedule if passes/fails.

A committee including Board Members Robyn Friedman and Ann Leonard, reviewed the IASB policy primers, compared them to current policies, and made edits accordingly (red=additions, strikethrough=deletions).

Ms. Cook referenced the (clicker) survey responses from the October 26, 2015 Board Learning Leadership as having enough discrepancy to consider. Board Member Andy Elbert noted some survey results as being mathematically (%) inaccurate.

There was also discussion about the SWOT exercise at the November 2, 2015 board work session. Ms. Cook was noted as absent, and Ms. Benson offered for her to express concerns. Ms. Cook's feeling is that the exercise did not bring board members closer to consensus. Board Member Ann Leonard shared that members did tend to gravitate either towards Weaknesses & Threats or Strengths & Opportunities.

Board President Sheri Benson requested new information in order to bring up the reconfiguration timeline, citing board policies 204.8 and 204.9.

Ms. Benson advocated letting administration do their work.

Board Member Robyn Friedman noted that Ms. Cook is requesting a rescind of the reconfiguration timeline.

Also, with the bond referendum Ms. Cook feels that we have a lot going on at the same time to have all oars in the water going the same direction. She feels there is a lot of education needed as to why we need a new building.

Board Member Andy Elbert expressed he was pleased with the November 2, 2015 board work session, and that we have our oars pointed in the right direction.

Board Member Ann Leonard and Superintendent Bob Callaghan have a meeting scheduled for November 11, 2015 to give our insight and discuss communication plan.

Astrograph

The Scorpio sun was a constant reminder that in the blink of an eye, everything can change.

The Sagittarius sun flips the idea by visiting new topics and insisting that change happens because we seek out what’s novel and crave all things fresh. The Sagittarius sun will be your guide to starting up some fun.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 23). Part of you feels that no matter what you’ve done in the past, you’ve really just arrived.

No one can tell you how to feel about yourself. You know who is good for you, and who is a drain. Spend your year with those in the former category.

December brings a lucky financial break while March shines a light on your love life.

Cancer and Libra adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 1, 50, 13, 29 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Simple things may seem difficult to you, while what is extremely difficult for others may seem very simple. There is no “one size fits all” situation for life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Leadership requires inner discipline. You’ll wonder if you have what it takes. You do. You just need more practice; that’s all. Know that when you rule

what’s happening inside yourself, you are ruling the most difficult territory of all.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The 20 or so individuals around you are powerful, but they are not the only people in the world. There are approximately seven billion others. Why limit yourself by only knowing a few?

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You can sense when you are being manipulated. You respect when it’s being done very well.

All that’s going on right now inclines you to go along, just to see what happens.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have armored yourself against your own problems. That’s why

you are more sensitive to other people’s pain than you are to your own. This is the reason you’ll be caught off-guard today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The people you’re around will be the biggest factor in your experience. There’s someone whose influence will be extremely strong. This connection is physical, psychic and cosmic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll consider living more dangerously. Those rebels in your midst do have a point: Pushing yourself causes a feeling of being fully alive. That’s important to your over all well-being!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Well, it’s interesting the different ways people see things.

You live so close to another person you will wonder how there can be such a magnificent difference between your point of view and theirs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The people who like you don’t need you to do much else besides just be yourself. The people who (SET ITAL) use (END ITAL) you require much more. Knowing this, you’ll make a decision or two about your relationships.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The answer is what it always is -- love. The bottomline question to ask yourself: What is the most loving choice

you could make? That is the choice that will prove to be right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Don’t lend more than you can afford to lose. People aren’t as ethical as you today and they don’t care as much. Protect yourself with a bubble of awareness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

If you want to have the place to yourself, you’re not being selfish, rather, you are getting in touch with the soft animal inside you -- the one who cares about territory and will defend it when pushed.
