Newton High teacher wins prestigious annual award

hen Jodi Morgan-Peters found out she’d been chosen as the 2016 winner of one of Iowa’s most prestigious high school STEM teacher awards, she was quick to not take all the credit for herself.

After all, one of the core standards of STEM — or Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — is working in teams and sharing credit.

Morgan-Peters, who has taught science, biology, biomedical science, computer science and engineering at Newton High School since 2006, ended

up taking home a coveted and unique trophy, but she said there were many other deserving nominees who could have won it.

At a Des Moines banquet Nov. 9, nine women were given trophies on behalf of the Technology Association of Iowa for excellence and achievement in STEM and several other categories.

“I am truly honored,” Morgan-Peters said. “That is a super-strong group of finalists, and I feel like it’s more an award to all the ladies who work so hard to bring great opportunities to kids.”

NHS teacher Chris Forsyth, who has taken on several leadership

tasks in science-teaching fields herself, accepted the award for Morgan-Peters, who had a prior commitment that evening.

NHS Principal Bill Peters said in order for teachers to stay on the cutting edge of their subject, it takes many hours of extra work during their precious spare time, such as nights, weekends and during the summer.

“Jodi’s award is a testament to the hard work and dedication she has displayed,” Peters said. “I am sure she will tell you that the entire staff is dedicated to helping kids succeed in a world that is evolving STEM | 3A

City garbage, recycling rate increasing

of admiration and a heart-shaped poster line with construction paper cutouts of the students’ hands.

In response to a shortfall in revenue and increasing collection costs, a 4.3 percent increase for garbage/recycling rates was approved in Newton. City council passed the resolution, which is expected to generate an additional $32,485 in revenue on Monday.

“The solid waste budget is set up as a user fee for the solid waste and recycling collection, balancing costs and revenues,” interim city administrator Jarrod Wellik said. “The 2015-16 solid waste budget had a loss of $15,387.”

The current solid waste and recycling collection contract with Dodd Trash and Recycling is adjusted every July to reflect the Consumer Price Index-Urban numbers. In July, the CPIU was 1 percent resulting in an increase of $5,800 in the collection contract.

Also, due to a changing recycle market, the city now pays a fee of approximately $900 per month charged by the area recycling center. That change came as a part of the amended residential recycling collection contract approved by council in February.

Each year, the Dollars for Scholars Tour of Homes coordinators’ jobs become even tougher. Finding homeowners who want to open their houses for touring visitors isn’t easy.

The event, now in its 31st year, is the sole fundraiser for Newton Dollars for Scholars, which raises money for a variety of scholarships awarded to Newton High School graduates each spring. Hilary Montalvo, who has been the president of the organization for about two years, said the support and generosity of the attendees is critical.

The total for scholarships has now gone beyond $100,000, she said.

“I want to thank all the homeowners and board members for volunteering their time and their homes so that we are able to give Newton’s seniors scholarships year after year,” Montalvo said.

Tickets cost $10 and can be purchased in advance at local banks and the Chamber of Commerce, or they can be purchased on the day of the tour at any home on the tour.

All proceeds from ticket sales go toward the scholarships.

Here is the lineup for this year’s tour:

Holy Trinity celebrates anniversary Newton Daily News

Submitted Photo Guests gather around a turkey dinner to celebrate the building dedication anniversary on Nov. 20 at Holy Trinity.

Holy Trinity and its guests recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the building’s dedication Nov. 20 at the church. The second unit building was dedicated on Oct. 12, 1986.

The celebration event centered on worship and was followed by a meal of turkey with all the trimmings. Participants helped furnish side dishes.

Members of neighboring St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, rural Sully, with whom Holy Trinity is a partner in ministry, were invited to be guests for the meal.

Holy Trinity began as a mission

congregation of the United Lutheran Church, now part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. First Lutheran Church, Newton, sent 10 couples to begin Holy Trinity’s ministry. The first worship service was held in the Aurora Heights gym Aug. 4, 1957, and the congregation was officially organized Jan. 26, 1958.

The congregation erected a house-chapel across the parking lot from the current building where they worshiped, held meetings, Sunday School and other activities until the first unit of the present building was completed and dedicated Nov. 18, 1962.

After the completion of the second unit of the building, the men of Holy Trinity annually served a Thanksgiving dinner. It was in reviving this tradition the Thanksgiving meal this year was proposed as a way to celebrate the anniversary of the dedication of the second unit.

Many of Holy Trinity’s men helped with carrying out the event Sunday, which was enjoyed by 45 to 50 people.

The congregation is making plans to celebrate their past 60 years of ministry as well as their continued mission and ministry in the Newton community.

Submitted Photo Sounds of Inspiration will perform at 9:45 a.m. Sunday at Foursquare Church in Newton.

UMW cookie walk is back Cookie, candy and craft walk next month

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Walking around plentiful tables of cookies, candy and crafts seems like a dream come true this holiday season.

First United Methodist Church will host its annual Cookie, Candy and Craft Walk at 8:30 a.m. to noon Dec. 3.

The event has continued for at least 21 years, organized by women who are members of the church.

The community is encour-

aged to arrive early and to walk around the eight seasonally decorated tables.

“We just never know what people will bring,” Pat Drew, an organizer of the event said.

“Come early, it could go fast.”

Scarves, knick-knacks, crocheted or knitted items and jewelry are among the crafts that could be found at the event.

For those with a sweet tooth, there will be plenty to choose from in the dessert department.

“People can walk around and pick out what they want,” Drew said.

Drew said one of the most popular cookies in past years has been the Hershey Kisses cookies that are shaped like a mouse, with a cherry as the tail and almonds as ears.

Flynn a frequent critic of Muslim culture WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Flynn, the retired Army lieutenant general and intelligence officer who is Donald Trump’s pick to serve as his national security adviser, is a harsh critic of Muslim extremism and the religion itself, calling “radical Islam” an existential threat to the United States.

In strident speeches and public comments, including a fiery address at the Republican National Convention, Flynn has aggressively argued that Islamic State militants pose a threat on a global scale and demanded a far more aggressive U.S. military campaign against the group.

In a June interview with CNN, Flynn complained the U.S. needs to “discredit” radical Islam, but that “we’re not allowed to do that right now.”

But his comments about Islam, a religion practiced by more than 1.5 billion people worldwide, have at times gone beyond condemning radicals inside the faith.

In Flynn’s book, “The Field of Fight: How We Can Win the Global War Against Radical Islam and its Allies,” he condemned U.S. leaders who have called Islam a religion of peace.

Morgan-Peters also credits Peters and the Newton school administration, saying his “humongous” support for school administration is critical to the success of any teacher or program.

One of her more recent accomplishments is the development of a Biomedical Sciences class, teaching forensics and other applications of a fast-growing field.

The other women chosen as finalists for the STEM award alongside Morgan-Peters were Amber Pargmann and Heidi Kenkel of John Deere, Kristine Bullock of the University of Iowa, Katherine Harrington of the Business Publications Corporation, Rachel McClung of Workiva Inc. and Jan Newendorp of Cedar Falls High School.

The winners of each award were selected by a panel of judges that is represented by both the cooperate business world, state industry leaders and educators. Michelle Hill of the Waukee APEX work experience program is among the judges.

ditures, according to city finance and development director Bryan Friedman.

“I have been very happy since the city has taken over the Maytag Hotel building,” Capitol II Theatre owner Dawn Bleeker said. “Craig Armstrong has been very attentive to our needs and has taken care of issues we’ve been having for quite some time.”

Work is not complete on the project, though, with maintenance attention shifting to the large air control systems in the building such as the heating system, including the boiler unit, and the aging air conditioning units.

There are also many ongoing issues, due mainly to deferred maintenance through the years “She has established connections throughout Iowa, and, literally, around the globe,” Peters said. “Those connections gain exposure for kids at NHS that few other high school age students experience. Our job is to prepare these kids to be problem solvers and critical thinkers.

Jodi embodies that spirit and is at the forefront of providing magnificent opportunities for the kids at NHS.” A 1991 graduate of Iowa State University, Morgan-Peters is a member of several local, state and national education and/or science committees. She has taken summer Project Lead The Way courses in recent years in aerospace engineering, biomedical sciences and human body systems.

Morgan-Peters is also a board member of Empower Tanzania, Inc. The Amesbased organization collects funds and helps organize efforts to aid the agricultural, water-quality and public health efforts in rural Tanzania.

There is much more on the road ahead for Morgan-Peters in her science-education pursuits. The 2017 spring break will involve taking a group of students and adults to Costa Rica, and she recent-

in areas including restroom plumbing and minor electrical and heating/cooling issues.

“This is an old building with many outdated systems, so until a major renovation is undertaken by a developer, maintenance will be a constant requirement,” Armstrong said. “We did authorize a minor upgrade project — repainting the lobby area restroom, which serves Midtown Café, Silverado and Bloomin’ Nails, and installing an automatic air freshener.”

Armstrong said he is confident in the structure itself.

“The superstructure of the building itself is incredibly stable. Mr. Maytag spared no expense to make the structure of the building incredibly strong,” Armstrong said. “The amount of

ly traveled to Paris, France, to learn the ins and outs of taking a group on an international trip.

Morgan-Peters said adding experiences and skill sets to students’ lives does more than simply pad a list of attributes to be added to a LinkedIn profile or a résumé.

“We’re doing more than helping young people find what they need to be employed in the future,” Morgan-Peters said. “We’re also teaching them to develop skills that will let them market themselves, throughout their state and nationally.”

In the statement Morgan-Peters asked Forsyth to read at the awards event, she described STEM education as a “solution to a growing epidemic of STEM illiteracy” that allows today’s and tomorrow’s children to fix problems handed to them by their ancestors.

Peters said the concepts taught by Morgan-Peters and other Newton science teachers are hardly unique to high school courses like chemistry or biology.

“STEM, and components of it, are embedded into all of our classes,” Peters said.

“STEM is critical because we are preparing kids for careers that don’t even exist yet.”

concrete and rebar in the building is almost unfathomable, and would be impossible to duplicate economically in the present day.

That alone makes preserving and protecting this iconic and historic building a necessity for our community.”

Further work on the building will need to be aided in part by a good rain fall. Following the rain, those working on the building will be able to verify if the fifth floor roof repairs have stopped the leaks. Also, Armstrong said they would like to verify whether the third floor atrium roof is leaking.

“The next project is replacing the ceiling tiles in the areas that were damaged by two separate, but fairly devastating, plumbing leaks several months

Council Continued from Page 1A To address the shortfall, a 50 cent increase from $11.50 per month to $12 per month, or $6 per year per household was proposed and approved. The last increase to the garbage/recycling collection fee was in January at 30 cents per month.

“Over the years we have kept this low and even with this increase we are going to be lower than any other community in central Iowa,” public works director Keith Laube said. “It is checks and balances of the costs. It is not a money maker, it is suppose to break even or try to get a close as we can to break even and last year we fell a little short.”

A recommendation was also passed to decrease golf fees at Westwood Golf Course by $5 for 9-hole players and $4 for $18-hole players. When studying neighboring courses, the city found Westwood is about $5 higher than most.

To increase the number of rounds, staff proposed decreasing the rates in hopes of increasing overall usage and rein in a budget deficit that has averaged $19,822 during the past five years.

“During the past several years the rounds of golf played has held steady at about 17,000 to 18,000 rounds per year. Data shows that our course is being under-utilized as we could support 20,000

back. Those areas include Capitol II Theatre, Midtown Café, Silverado and Bloomin’ Nails,” Armstrong said. “Naturally, we will continue to be vigilant about all maintenance issues, and address them as soon as problems arise.”

Although the project can be trying, Armstrong said completing renovations on such an important building is very satisfying work.

“Although it has been a challenge to stabilize and maintain the Hotel Maytag, it is also very gratifying to know that we are making it possible for this grand piece of early 20th Century architecture to be the keynote of Newton’s downtown courthouse square for generations to come,” Armstrong said. to 25,000 rounds of golf per year,” Wellik said. “The decrease in fees is aimed at increasing the golf play of new golfers, casual golfers and golfers who frequent many courses.”

Along with lowering the rates, council approved a change to Friday rates to a weekday rate, instead of a weekend rate. The breakdown of the decreased rates has 9-hole rates at $15 for walkers and $25 with a cart rental on weekdays and weekend rates at $20 for walkers and $30 with a cart rental.

Eighteen-hole rates on weekdays will be $21 for walkers and $35 with a cart rental and $26 for walkers and $40 with a cart rental on the weekend.

“We have estimated that the above changes will increase the number of rounds being played by 770 rounds per year and bring in a net $10,000,” Wellik said. “To obtain an additional 700 rounds of golf we will need to have an average daily increase of about five rounds of golf from May through September.”

Other fee increases or changes will take place at the Woodland Shelter with the rental fee increasing from $30 to $35, the addition of an adult/toddler time in the shallow end of the pool from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at Maytag Pool for $2 per person and a new fee of $150 for the disinterment of a Columbarium niche at city cemeteries.

Mental health requires facilities A

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Nov. 23, 2016

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

s we sit down to our Thanksgiving meals this week, we should absolutely savor all the great treats and pleasant company — even if we go for one more slice of pie than we probably should. But there are millions of Americans unable to enjoy Thanksgiving or any other holiday due to their illness, and it’s time Iowa’s state leaders started acknowledging those citizens’ need for facilities.

Mental health facilities aren’t cheap, but neither is allowing law enforcement or other first-responders and “helping profession” adults be the caretakers of sick women, men and children who need to be hospitalized.

Not only is Iowa’s commitment to mental health poor in terms of dollars, number of available healthcare organizations and priority, there are simply not enough inpatient facilities, and the

87th Iowa General Assembly must tackle this expensive and daunting problem head-on.

Before the Iowa Legislature can really make much progress on this issue, it must first cross the cultural and attitude bridge that healthcare costs money. Attempts to cut the costs of care and the support elements, such as medical schooling and medical billing, can be debated separately, but at some point, the state budget must include added services.

We are not going to be able to lineitem veto or reappropriate better care.

State governments must add services.

The federal government is not going to do this and communities cannot afford it. Setting up and maintaining a statewide network of mental health facilities must be done at the state level. There is no easy way around the heavy financial challenge.

The challenge includes the acknowl-

edgment that “bricks” are needed — newly constructed facilities designed for inpatient mental health treatment.

The closure of the Clarinda and Mount Pleasant facilities in 2015 highlighted the state government’s lack of commitment, but we would be discussing lack of facilities even if those sites were still up and running, partly due to their age. Constructing and maintaining new hospitals is a basic tenet of government work, and mental health should be as important as a basic emergency room or cancer center.

By ignoring this fiduciary responsibility, the state is passing along the cost of having mentally ill people on the streets in a variety of ways — “cost” being financial and in other forms, such as grief.

Science and doctors have made tremendous strides in outpatient treatment of severe mental illness using medicines and therapy. However, there will always be times when an individual is a threat to themselves or others in ways that require short-term or longterm inpatient care.

According to the Associated Press, a probation officer who oversaw the sus-

pect in the recent ambush-style killing of two Des Moines-area police officers wrote a June 2015 report following that suspect’s harassment arrest. The suspect received a mental health evaluation and was taking recommended medications.

No one will ever know for sure if these crimes could have been prevented with inpatient care, but if the state doesn’t expand its facilities, we can likely expect an increase of these types of horrific actions taken by mentally ill people who need treatment. Cutting costs doesn’t create extra beds. The legislature must initiate this change.

Describing health care as something that can be done at a lower cost or more efficiently by private enterprise is both disingenuous and would miss the point.

Government has the challenge of setting up healthcare and does the urban planning for facilities such as hospitals anyway.

It’s not only the state’s responsibility to bring in new facilities and not say “not my job” and push it on the private sector. It simply makes sense for the state to tackle it on its own.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

The Left’s mobocracy Editor’s Note: This column originally published June 8, 2016.

For years, the left has been desperate to paint conservatives as the real danger to civil society. Back in 2009, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security called conservatives a threat to safety. In a report, it stated that those who oppose abortion and illegal immigration represent a serious domestic terror threat. After presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reprehensibly justified violence against protesters, the media was awash with fears that conservatives would suddenly lose their minds and begin brandishing pitchforks in search of unlucky transgender individuals.

But, for decades, the only real threat of mob violence has come from the political left.

The left proved this once again this week when rioters in San Jose, California ignored do-nothing police officers and assaulted Trump supporters after his campaign rally. They overran police barriers, punched random rallygoers and egged a woman.

They spit on people, burned American flags and generally made a violent nuisance of themselves.

The left reacted by blaming Trump.

First off, let’s point out that while Trump has encouraged his own rallygoers to participate in violence against peaceful protesters, there has never been a pro-Trump mob or riot. Individuals have engaged in bad behavior, but there has never been any mass activity. The same is not true of the political left, which traffics in mob action, from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore, Maryland, to Seattle, Washington, to Occupy Wall Street.

Why? Because when conservatives act badly, they’re condemned by both conservatives and leftists. But when leftists riot, leftists simply blame conservatives for the riots.

That’s what happened in San Jose.

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said, “At some point, Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign.” San Jose police Chief Eddie Garcia praised his officers for failing to intervene, saying, “We are not an ‘occupying force’ and cannot reflect the chaotic tactics of protesters.” The San Jose Police Department added that it did not intervene so as to not “further (incite) the crowd and produce more violent behavior.”

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton blamed Trump, too: “He created an environment in which it seemed to be acceptable for someone running for president to be inciting violence, to be encouraging his supporters. Now we’re seeing people who are against him responding in kind.” The internet blogging service Vox was forced to suspend editor Emmett Rensin after telling people to “start a riot” if Trump sets foot in their town.

Trump may be a gross thug individually, but conservatives are generally uninterested in the sort of thuggish hordes that roam the streets looking for skulls to crack. We don’t like those sorts of folks; we find them an affront to law and order and clean living.

The left has no such compunction. And so long as their leading lights continue to justify such lawlessness in the name of stopping the rhetoric of the right, we’re doomed to more broken eggs, broken noses and broken politics.

Park office should move to Maytag Park The Newton Park Board meeting of Oct. 20, as reported in the Newton Daily News, included various ideas for the use of the Maytag Park house which includes the park office. Of those considered, the idea of maintaining the historic integrity of the Maytag Park home and using the parks office as presented by board member Amanda Price, is both sensible and economical.

While serving on the Maytag Bowl repair committee, I had the park house inspected for its condition. It passed with no restrictions or required corrections. Its current inspection also had no required corrections. Amanda

Price’s statement, “I think because of the history of this building, the history of the park itself and that it’s in the park, I’d be all for it being the park office. It would be nice to have a presence in the park” is a very wise analysis.

The previous park survey indicated citizens wanted an on-site authority and office in Maytag Park for increased safety, information and assistance if needed.

The Newton golf course pro is required to live in the apartment at the golf course to be present for citizen assistance and deter vandalism. Maytag Park should offer the same service. Linda Dalton, President of Project AWAKE stated “It speaks well of Newton that we do have a presence at the Arboretum. It’s really convenient to have that office there, and it’s

great to have somebody available for visitors.” The same perspective should apply to Maytag Park.

The Maytag Park house is on the Historic list that qualifies it for preservation grants for needed repair or upgrading.

This house should be utilized to provide park users the same benefits that the arboretum and golf course enjoy.

Mr. Laube’s estimates for city cost for improvements on the Maytag Park house cannot be viewed as accurate if the value of the preservation grants to historic properties have been omitted.

Mr. Unsworth could save Newton money, reduce vandalism and assist park users by operating from the Maytag Park House instead of renting space elsewhere.

Robert was born Nov. 23, 1928, to Ruth and Joseph Kilfoil in Knoxville. His family moved to Lovilia, where he attended school in a one-room schoolhouse.

He graduated from the eighth grade and continued his education by helping his family during the depression.

Robert was a World War II veteran, enlisting in the Navy and serving on the U.S.S. Boxer. Following the war, he returned to Iowa, where he met the love of his life, Mary. They were wed on Christmas Day in 1951 in State Center. They moved to Newton in

1955, where Robert was a mechanic at Hawkeye Garage, and then in the maintenance department at Maytag for 31 years. Around the time they moved to Newton, Robert was accepted into the Masonic Lodge where he held many offices through the years, traveling extensively, and attaining his 50-year certificate of membership. He was also active in his church, serving as an usher, participating in Bible studies and helping support financial needs of the church as they arose. Following his retirement in 1986, he drove school buses for another 18 years. His kids called him “Grandpa Bob.” When Mary had a stroke in 2005, Robert gave up his bus route and became her primary care giver. It was a rough 2.5 years for

both of them. When he lost the love of his life in 2013, Robert carried on as best he could as we all do.

Robert was a man of integrity, honesty and unconditional love for his family.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Ruth; father, Joseph; step-father, Burton; brother-in-law, Charlie; aunt, Francis Roman; and several uncles. Those left to honor his memory include his sister, Dorothy “Rosie” Hoover of What Cheer; daughter, Susan (K.J.) Waldman of Newton; grandson, Patrick (Rebecca) Clash of Grinnell; step-daughters, Mary Lynn Spelman of Seattle, Wash., and Katherine McGee of Racine, Wis.; and a cousin, Tom Moore of Las Vegas, Nev.

Tour of Homes: Dollars for Scholars has raised $100K through 30 years of events Continued from Page 1A wrought-iron staircase banister and the home’s beautiful woodwork, to name just a few features that can be admired today.

Sara Haines, the Newton resident turned TV star and one of the hosts of the program “The View,” was a young child when her family resided in the home during the 1980s and 1990s.

The McConkey family renovated extensively by refinishing original hardwood floors, painting almost every room in the house, and finishing the attic to create a bedroom for their teenage daughter. The basement is also in the process of being renovated.

Look for the original blueprints of the home on display during your visit.

Donn and Debbie Eide 2386 W. 15th St S. The 1989 Cape Cod style home is located south of Interstate 80. The Eides have undertaken quite a bit of construction since they moved into it 11 years ago.

The Eides added on a garage, then a large family room to the rear of the home, complete with a fireplace and half bath.

The interior layout was changed to an open floor plan when the kitchen and main bathroom were remodeled. Look for the remodeled office/ play area with a pirate theme off of the master bedroom, featuring murals painted by local artist Sommer Kibbee.

The Eides also finished their basement, adding a pool room, kitchen, a three-quarter bath, sit-

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News This home, located at 503 W. 12th St. S. in Newton, is part of the 2016 Newton Dollars for Scholars Tour of Homes, set for Dec. 3. The $10 cost of tickets to the fundraiser helps raise money for a scholarship fund.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News This 1989 Cape Cod style home, located at 2386 W. 15th St S. in Newton, is one of the five houses that make up the 2016 Newton Dollars for Scholars Tour of Homes, set for Dec. 3.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The 2016 Newton Dollars for Scholars Tour of Homes is set for Dec. 3. This home, located at 2326 W. 15th St. S., is part of the tour.

ting room and theater room. They had extensive landscaping done by local contractor Garden Gate, and installed an inground pool.

All of the work completed over the years was done by local contractors and companies.

Darin Eide and Meghan Bestell-Eide 2326 W. 15th St. S. Darin Eide and his wife have lived right next door to his parents in a 1989 traditional brickstyle home for about three years. Since moving in, a major remodel of the kitchen was com-

pleted by Vander Zwagg Builders, which included new fixtures, countertops, lighting and the addition of a breakfast bar, as well as updated cabinets and a new sink.

New hardwood flooring was installed in three rooms and in hallways.

Wallpaper was hung in the half-bath, which was updated with a new vanity. An entrance to the basement was opened up from the dining room and a theater room was created in the basement.

The home was also landscaped by Garden Gate and features an outdoor kitchen and pa-

tio addition to the rear of the home. Look for the fun locker-style storage area in the hallway and the wrought-iron railing leading to the basement.

Judy Manusos 2408 N. Sixth Ave E. This 1987 Colonial Revival home has an open floor plan with a spacious interior, something desired by Manusos to accommodate her large family of seven children and fourteen grandchildren. The popular “open” layout also allows her to comfortably entertain and keep her guests in sight while preparing things in the kitchen.

A large porch on the front of the home is a favorite gathering spot, and the finished basement is snugly furnished and includes a bar as well as ample storage.

Look for the red British phone booth holding a collection of music boxes, the Audrey Hepburn room and Manusos’ extensive collection of Santas and Christmas decorations as some of the unique decorations in this modern home.

Josh and Katie Cantu 1103 N. Fourth Ave. W. The 1865 Italianate style red brick home may have been built with bricks made practically next door in the local brickyard. It was constructed by Joseph Merritt Woodrow, a local businessman, who also planted the row of larch trees on the south side of North Fourth Avenue West.

The home originally had an iron fence surrounding its perimeter.

The fence’s carved stone lintels commanded re-

spect, but the home was known as “quite a fancy place” for more than one reason: according to Woodrow’s family, it was the first home in Newton to have a bathtub.

The home has seen its share of renovations through the years, with an addition to the original floor plan and a wrap-around porch, but original features still shine through. Look for the original built-in china cabinet between the dining room and kitchen and much original trim, such as the arched trim over the curved doorways in the home.

Outdoors, the Cantus have added many landscaping features, including stamped concrete, patios and an herb garden.

1 Homebuilders’ group critical of new construction rules

CLIVE — A homebuilders’ group is warning that new rules in the Des Moines suburb of Clive aimed at preventing excessive stormwater runoff could send the cost of home construction soaring and slow development.

Clive’s new runoff requirements seek to reduce the volume of water entering Walnut Creek from new construction sites, with the goal to slow flooding and control erosion along the creek’s banks. The new rules call for stormwater to be absorbed into the ground instead of traveling over hardened surfaces.

MONTICELLO — A cat lost since escaping a fire at an Anamosa shelter three years ago has turned up 25 miles away in Cedar Rapids.

The cat, named “Tommy,” was among 11 that escaped when the Anamosa cat shelter burned in 2013. Most were returned, but Tommy had disappeared. Animal Welfare Foundation manager Tracy McCarty received a call last week from Cedar Rapids animal control. They had picked up a gray cat the night before, and its microchip led to her.

ZWINGLE — A church that has served the small eastern Iowa community of Zwingle for 165 years will close its doors in January. Volunteers and some of the roughly 30 remaining parishioners of the Harmony United Church of Christ spent Saturday taking down the 1,432-pound bell that was installed in 1886. The church is set to close Jan. 8 due to the declining membership.

Members dipped into the church’s savings last year to try and keep it open, but it will soon have to close.

SIOUX CITY — A Sioux City woman is the sponsor of a new U.S. Coast Guard ship named for her late uncle, who was killed in 1945 defending his ship from attack. As the sponsor, Donna Fuller was tapped Saturday to give a short speech prior to the commissioning of the USCGC Rollin Fritch, 154-foot fast-response cutter, at Cape May, New Jersey. On Jan. 8, 1945, Rollin Fritch was aboard the USS Callaway when it was attacked.

Cyber security priority for Jasper County

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With cyber threats always loom for government offices, Jasper County is continuing efforts to boost security and stay ahead of potential issues.

Information technology network administrator Ryan Eaton gave an update of the county’s current approach to fighting cyber threats and potential work for future preventative measures.

A recent test the department had the county participate in included sending out fishing emails to see who would click on them and who would not using the software KnowB4.

“The first round we had 16 people click on it and the second round we only had two, so we made significant progress on

teaching people, think it through, who’s it from, do I really need this,” Eaton said.

The testing coincided with the department’s annual training for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This year, Eaton said they decided to address the security side of HIPAA. “In the past few years, because of HIPAA, we have implemented things such as certain computers with HIPAA protected data lock after seven minutes if you walk away,” Eaton said. “We are also enforcing passwords to change every 90 days.”

Additional security measures include encrypting HIPAA information on any laptop that leaves county buildings, requiring the number code on all cell phones as well as having them lock after

“It’s been a rough week. You guys coming here, saying your kind words and doing all this it really means a lot to me personally,” Bartello said. “And I know it means a lot to my officers as well, so I want to thank you guys. It really does mean the world to me.

Fridley said teachers presented the idea of the all-hands poster, but it was her students who wanted to make personalized cards for Bartello and his officers.

“We wanted to show our support for the police department,” Fridley said. “We’ve been talking in class about what we’re thankful for this Thanksgiving and we wanted to show our gratitude.”

Bartello said there have been many random acts of kindness

since the Nov. 2 shootings. People have filled the PD with balloons, homemade cookies and gift baskets have been left at the doors of city hall — most anonymously.

The Officer Down Memorial Page is a web-based nonprofit dedicated to honoring fallen police officers in the United States. It was founded in 1996

by Chris Cosgriff, a James Madison University freshman who read a Washington Post story about the release of a felon convicted of murdering two Prince George’s County, Maryland, police officers.

According to the nonprofits’ statistics, gunfire deaths among police officers are up this year 71 percent — a total of 58 officers. Deaths in the line of duty stands at 127 in 2016, up 9

“They get grants from homeland security for security projects, so we have an in on that,” Eaton said.

“When they have left over licenses, the county can use them.”

Currently, Eaton said the county is using software called Fire Eye, which work up-to-the minute to detect new viruses in malware.

“Our anti-virus stuff covers existing or known viruses and protects it, this is stuff that even the updates haven’t come out yet,” Eaton said. “If they detect it, they call us and can isolate the computer and stop traffic on it. They have caught several viruses that we didn’t know existed yet and helped us stop them. It has been a great program and it hasn’t cost us any money.”

The county has also taken precautions not al-

Despite the statistics, police departments throughout Jasper County have been shown a lot of love in recent weeks.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said the shootings in Des Moines and Urbandale have reinvigorated a blue light program started in May. People are purchasing the blue bulbs from the NPD and shining the lights on their front steps. The money goes to benefit the department’s officer memorial.

“The outpouring has been amazing,” Burdess said. “At night it’s a bit different. When my officers drive around and see the blue lights around town

lowing the public to insert USB drives and copy information from county computers and tracking hardware and software updates and changes on computers throughout the county.

Eaton said looking forward, the county is working on preventatives measures for possible ransom ware issues.

“A lot of times with ransom ware, the idea is it can get in and lock all of your files,” Eaton said. “If you have a cold copy somewhere else you can restore it back and avoid paying the ransom.”

Jasper County is looking to partner with Marion County with each entity holding a copy of the data for one another.

it’s a neat aspect of the program.”

Like Prairie City, the NPD has been given cookies, fruit, gift certificates to shops and homemade pizza. And on Monday his officers were treated to a free lunch by Montana Mikes.

“We’re probably all going to need a membership to the Y after all this food we’ve had,” Burdess laughed. “... I hear it every day from the community. It’s an affirmation to me that we have support in the community. It means even more to my men and women on the street. They don’t always get to work with all the community, so for them to see that show of support personally it means much more.”

Homeless outreach worker makes positive change DAVENPORT (AP) — Sporting a scruffy white beard and saltand-pepper wavy hair, Chris Dunn blends in well with those around a breakfast table at Timothy’s House of Hope, a meal site in Davenport for the hungry.

“I’ll keep you in my prayers,” Dunn told a man, who asked not to be identified as he fought back tears over a plate of biscuits and gravy.

He’s struggling through a divorce and living out of the back of his truck, which needs a new timing chain. “I love you like a brother,” Dunn added as he patted the man on the back.

By now, it’s obvious the 56-year-old Dunn, who’s rocking close-fitting jeans, a wool sweater and Under Armour shoes, isn’t there for the free spread; he’s there to listen.

As a homeless outreach worker for The Center, 1411 Brady St., he spends part of most

days checking in on his “friends” at various spots that serve those living in poverty.

In “normal” social situations, Dunn, who stands at 6 feet, 3 inches, thinks he may come across as awkward. But the married father of two, who has a home in

Rock Island, said he feels most comfortable when he’s consoling those on the streets.

“These people are so honest once we’ve established trust, which sometimes comes right away and sometimes takes time,” he said.

It’s hard for Dunn to

go unnoticed at a place like Timothy’s.

The same people he’s looking for usually approach him first.

Rick Powers, a Vietnam War veteran who used to be homeless, caught up with Dunn on his way into the building.

“He (Dunn) got me off

the street corner about two years ago,” Powers said. “I was sleeping outside, and he helped get me clothes and an apartment.”

The Long Island, New York, native, who studied education at Boston University, couldn’t put a number on the amount

of homeless people he knows on a first-name basis. However, he estimated he has assisted “hundreds” of people over his 15 years in the Quad-Cities.

Following his visit at the table, Dunn pedaled his bicycle he rides to work most days, one block south to the Laundromat, 1351 W. 3rd St. A few people outside greeted him with hugs and handshakes as he arrived.

From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Wednesdays twice a month, Dunn and other volunteer do-gooders host laundry ministry there, where people can clean their clothes for free during the two-hour time frame.

Margot Hary, whom Dunn referred to as the “laundry angel,” praised the man for his work in the community.

“He carries Jesus with him,” Hary said. “It’s not just because he looks like him (Jesus); he acts like him, too.”

Program teaches young girls about body image, online safety WAVERLY (AP) — Determining what’s “real” can be difficult, especially when viewed through a TV screen.

But a small group of girls at Margaretta Carey Elementary School recently had the curtain pulled back. The firstand second-graders watched a brief video during an after-school program last week showing a model going through a physical transformation.

“What did you guys

just watch, what did you see? Did she look the same in the beginning as she did in the end?” asked Olivia Tangren, a Wartburg College sophomore.

The four girls talked about the woman getting her hair curled and makeup put on her face.

Tangren and Gabrielle Calease Fox, a Wartburg senior, affirmed their answers. “They made her face look totally different than it did in real life,” Tangren added.

The activity on body image and the media was part of IMpower, a 45-minute empowerment program for girls that meets weekly at the school.

When the topic changed to being safe online, first-grader Amalia Djoumessi suggested they should avoid “typing addresses in” while using the internet.

“Because bad guys might come and get you,” added first-grader Sydni Heims. Lauren Dohnen said they should turn off the computer over any safety concerns while Millie Helgevold would ask her parents.

Both girls are in second grade.

NCMP boys Perry girls hold off Newton open swim season

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

PERRY — Newton High’s girls didn’t have an answer for Perry’s 5-foot-4 inch senior guard Grace Marburger Tuesday night. Marburger forced the issue and walked to the free-throw line a lot in lead-

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News INDIANOLA — Four event wins gave the NCMP boys’ swimming team a solid start to the 2016-17 season. NCMP lost its opening dual swim meet against host Indianola Tuesday, but first-year head coach Sarah Patterson was pleased with how the team competed.

“We had a super first meet. We lost to Indianola, but only because they had more depth. It’s hard for a team of 16 guys to compete against a team of 50. Our new athletes had a great night, and our returning guys posted really fast early season times,” Patterson said.

Junior Caleb Gaylor notched the first race win of the season for NCMP. He won the 200-yard freestyle race in 1 minute, 53.18 seconds. NCMP also took fourth with sophomore Adam Hunter in 2:07.13 and sixth with senior Logan Zaabel in 2:51.56.

Gaylor Gaylor dominated the 100 butterfly race in 58.06 seconds as Indianola’s Lane Bindel was a distant second in 1:03.92. NCMP sophomore Mason Lee was fifth in 1:12.52.

NCMP’s foursome of seniors Clay Trotter, Paul Maharry, Logan Heisdorffer and Gaylor won the 200 freestyle relay in 1:37.43. Another NCMP team of Lee, Zaabel and sophomores Carter Briggs SWIM | 2B

ing the Jayettes to a 60-56 win over the visiting Cardinals.

Marburger scored half — 30 points — of her team’s points. She went 13-of-20 at the line. Newton was 7-of-13 at the free-throw line as a team for the game.

“We lost by four, but this group showed a lot tonight,” Newton head

coach Brandon Sharp said. “Two different times Perry’s lead was pushed to double digits, and we fought our way back into the game.

They showed they can play through some adversity.”

Newton trailed 27-20 at halftime.

Ryanne Rausch recorded a double-double for Newton with 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Ellie Horn pulled down eight rebounds for the Cardinals as they out rebounded Perry, 41-25. Ali Bestell had six rebounds.

Newton’s Courtney Jacobsen dished out three assists. Horn and Randi Walters each had two assists.

The Cardinals (1-2) hit seven 3-pointers in the game. Jacobsen and Marcelina Marvelli had two apiece while Rausch, Taylor Ryan and Shipley each had one trey.

Marvelli, Shipley and Jacobsen scored eight points apiece. Horn had six points and Ryan had five points. Walters and Bestell added two points apiece.

In its season opener, Perry sank 23-of-37 free throw attempts. Johanna Diw added 17 points for Perry.

Newton won the junior varsity game, 43-2. Peyton Maher led a balanced attack with seven points.

Scoring six points each were Abbie Barr, Lakin Jenkins, Rachel Rhoads and Emily Valtman. Mackenzie Baker scored four points.

Teddie Brunsmann, Harlie Durr, Anna Coyle and Maddi Thayer each had two points.

Ranked Cubs hand Raiders first defeat

Lindsay gets promotion, takes over PCM baseball team

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — For several years, Jeff Lindsay held down two head coaching positions at Colfax-Mingo.

After the Prairie City-Monroe school board made things official Monday night, Lindsay once again has the responsibility of leading two programs.

This time, a few miles down the road.

Lindsay was named PCM baseball coach Monday after serving as Shaun Lindsay Hudnut’s assistant coach for the last seven seasons. Hudnut resigned from the post in July.

LINDSAY | 2B

IHSAA made mistake with TV coverage M

oney drives the car in today’s college and professional athletics. Those who pay big money often get what they want.

That includes television contracts.

Unfortunately, big money TV contracts have spilled over to the high school level.

For several years, football fans in Iowa could watch the semifinals and finals of the high school football playoffs on Iowa Public Television.

It worked. Fans who couldn’t travel all the way across the state for a 10 a.m. kickoff could still see the games.

That was no longer the case this season for many fans.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association sold the TV rights for the semifinal and championship games to the Iowa High School

MAXWELL — Nevada is one of those programs which can defeat its opponent before the opening tip even takes place.

The Cubs won the Class 3A state title in 2015 and were the runner-ups last season. This year’s Nevada team has moved up to 4A but should still compete for the conference title.

Fortunately for Collins-Maxwell/Baxter coach Eric Padget, his Raiders came into the game with thoughts of nothing but winning.

CMB was within striking distance at halftime but didn’t make enough shots on the offensive end of the floor during a 52-27 loss TuesTroy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Kathleen Baldwin, left, scores two points inside the day in the home opener. lane against Class 4A No. 11 Nevada on Tuesday in Maxwell. Baldwin scored seven points in a 52-27 Raider loss.

This & That Troy Hyde Sports Network, who then reached an agreement with Comcast Sportsnet Chicago.

Because, you know, everyone in Illinois was just dying to catch those Iowa high school football games.

The main issue with CSN Chicago is Mediacom does not carry that station. If you look at a map of Iowa showing cable companies in the state who carry the network, you’ll see most of the eastern half of the state was good, while most of the western half was not.

Makes sense. The closer you get to Chicago, the more important that station becomes.

But what about teams like Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley and Western Christian, two schools in the Northwest side of the state which reached state title games. Van Meter in Central Iowa also reached the semifinals.

Fans of those schools could not watch any games from the UNI-Dome unless they had satellite television.

The easy fix is to just dump cable and get DirectTV or Dish Network.

It sounds easy. I can certainly get either of those in my current tree-less home in Newton.

When I lived in Des Moines, we were all ready to make the switch to DirectTV but the representative told us he couldn’t set us up because we had too many trees.

So not everyone can get satellite TV. Everyone should get to watch these games.

We are starting to sacrifice tradition for a few bucks. Or in this case, several bucks.

On one of the local sports radio stations in Central Iowa, a representative from IPTV called and said their network did everything it could to keep the games.

They used the fact that everyone in the state could see those games as their biggest selling point.

Unfortunately, the same IPTV representative also said they couldn’t compete with the money CSN Chica-

RAIDERS | 2B

go paid to get the games.

So the money wins out. Again. It’s just a shame that it’s beginning to happen at the prep level.

In college football news, the University of Baylor is in more trouble. A report came out this week that Baylor Associate Athletic Director Heath Nielsen was charged with misdemeanor assault.

According to the report, Nielsen allegedly grabbed a reporter by the throat after the reporter tried to take a picture with a Baylor football player.

The reporter got permission from the athlete. However, as a reporter myself, I wouldn’t ever ask a college or professional athlete for a photo if I was at the event as a member of the media.

To me, that’s unprofessional.

At the same time, I was surprised to hear that a school official went that far to make sure the picture wasn’t taken.

Putting your hands around a guy’s neck for taking a selfie?

I thought I had seen it all. Then Baylor did something else.

makes star turn

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — A big second half propelled the Prairie City-Monroe girls’ basketball team to another easy win Tuesday night.

Three Mustangs scored in scored in double figures.

The team turned it over just six times during a 68-27 win over Greene County on Tuesday in the Heart of Iowa Conference opener.

Senior Kayla Jennings had 16 points, seven rebounds and five steals. Senior Bailey Brodersen and freshman Regan Freland both had career-highs with 15 points as the Class 3A No. 15 Mustangs stayed unbeaten on the season.

PCM (2-0 overall, 1-0 in HOIC play) held a fivepoint lead after one quarter.

The Mustangs pushed their advantage to 12 at halftime then outscored the Rams 38-9 in the second half.

It was the season opener for Greene County.

“There was a feeling out period, but once we got in our groove, things started happening,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said.

“In the second half, we decided to press for the first

Continued from Page 1B “The fact I know the kids will help with the transition,” Lindsay said. “The returning kids will understand what I expect and what I am about. The only thing different moving forward is the fact my expectations are different as the varsity coach than they were as the JV coach.”

Lindsay was the head girls’ basketball coach and baseball coach at Colfax-Mingo before coming

over to PCM as Hudnut’s assistant baseball coach seven years ago. Lindsay will have the same role with the Mustangs as he is in his second season as girls basketball coach.

“I had a good feeling about him,” PCM Athletic Director Greg Bonnett said about Lindsay. “He has good experience, and I know he has the respect of the players. He’s also a guy that I can trust.”

Before becoming Colfax-Mingo’s head coach, Lindsay was an assistant coach at Pleasantville for

time this season, and we created a lot of turnovers.”

The Mustangs finished with 14 steals in the win.

After Jennings’ five steals was senior Kaylee Townsend’s four and Freland’s three.

Townsend also had seven rebounds and two blocks, while Freland added four assists and two blocks.

Sophomore Camryn Wignall scored seven points and dished out two assists. Senior Katie Vande Wall tallied six boards and two assists and Brodersen finished with two blocks.

The Mustangs don’t play again until opening a HOIC girl-boy varsity doubleheader against Roland-Story at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

five years.

Lindsay takes over a PCM program which has won 32 games the past three seasons. The Mustangs were 12-18 last season.

“There won’t be a lot of big changes from what we were doing before,” Lindsay said.

“Everyone has different philosophies. I don’t want to teach each kid the same way. I’ll play the game that my team is suited for.”

Freshman Jacob Nedder claimed first in the 100 backstroke for NCMP’s final win of the night. Nedder’s winning time was 1:04.68. NCMP freshmen Parker Sherwood and Clay Meyer went fifth and sixth in the race in 1:40.34 and 1:56.74, respectively.

“This group of swimmers is starting to gel. They are working hard,” Patterson said.

“If they keep supporting each other and pushing themselves, the sky is the limit.”

Trotter led a 2-3-4 finish

“I was worried about that coming in because it’s happened in the past,” Padget said in response to being defeated before the game began. “To a player and coach, I felt like we thought we had a chance to win tonight.

“I was really happy with the way we played the entire game. Our shots just didn’t fall.”

CMB trailed 20-10 at halftime after junior Brianda Bane scored five straight to close out the second quarter.

The Raider defense did enough, but CMB made only 10-of-36 from the floor in the Heart of Iowa Conference loss.

Nevada hit four 3-pointers in the third quarter and outscored the Raiders 17-5 to pull away.

“Anytime you put in two new things, the offense is going to be the slowest,” said Padget, who is back on the bench after a three-year hiatus. “They picked the defense up right away, but Nevada is obviously really good. Anyone who told me Nevada was going to be down this

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell’s pregame routine includes a music playlist he dubbed “Kinnick” in honor of the Hawkeyes home stadium.

Jewell lined the songs up so that “oldies” from bands like Boston and REO Speedwagon play first, helping him keep his burgeoning intensity in check.

As the team bus gets closer to the stadium, Jewell pumps music from heavier bands into his ears, fueling a fury he eventually unleashes on opponents like few players in the country.

“When I get on a football field, I just kind of turn a switch,” Jewell said.

Having the foresight to plan details down to the song is just one of reasons why Jewell, affectionately nicknamed “The Outlaw” by fans, is the latest overlooked Iowa recruit to develop into a star. Jewell and his Big Ten-leading 105 tackles were rewarded Monday, when he was just one of five players nominated for the Butkus Award, given to the nation’s top linebacker.

Jewell and the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten) close out the regular season Friday against No. 17 Nebraska (9-2, 6-2).

“Oh man. I mean, If you could just see how he operates every single day. I’ve never seen anything like it,” defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson said. “It’s unbelievable ... he just does everything at a high level.”

But like Dallas Clark, Bob Sanders and current Green Bay Packers star Mike Daniels and many others before him, Jewell arrived in Iowa City as a project.

It took prodding from assistant coach Reese Morgan — who had an extensive background coaching in high school — to convince coach Kirk Ferentz that Jewell was even worth a scholarship.

“I thought with Josey we’d get

year are liars.”

Nevada, ranked 11th in 4A to start the season, scored the game’s first eight points before senior Kathleen Baldwin got the Raiders on the board.

CMB stayed close with a strong second quarter.

Nevada led 20-5 when Bane converted a three-point play and then buried two free throws to make it a 10-point game at the break.

“We held them to 20 points at the half, and we cut our deficit to 10,” Padget said. “That gave us a chance.”

Two-time all-state post Lexy Koudelka had 13 points at halftime.

She began the third quarter with back-to-back buckets then the Cubs’ two other returning starters got it going from outside.

Senior Abby Stephenson hit consecutive triples to push the Cubs’ lead to 30-13.

Senior Claire Ausman followed with two more 3-pointers in the quarter, including one that came just before third-quarter buzzer.

CMB trailed 37-15 after three quarters before losing by 25. The Raiders lost to Nevada 68-18 in the season’s second game last year.

1:11.83. Freshman Isaak Miller was fifth in 1:24.26 and junior Grant Hamand was sixth in 1:33.13.

“We have a couple of juniors and seniors who are doing swimming for the first time,” Patterson said. “Spencer Elbert and Joe Busch did a great job in their first competitive swim meet.”

NCMP’s 400 freestyle relay team of Trotter, Heisdorffer, Nedder and Gaylor was second in 3:41.22. The team of Lewis, Meyer, Zaabel and Hunter took fifth in 4:23.88.

Trotter, Maharry, Lee and Heisdorffer teamed up for third place in the 200 medley relay race in 1:54.48. NCMP’s team of Nedder, Briggs,

a guy who was a winner. Everything he did, he won. Certainly a leader and a tough-minded guy,” Ferentz said.

Jewell arrived at Iowa as a 190-pound multi-sport athlete from Decorah whose recruiting offers came mainly from local FCS schools. He redshirted in 2013, focusing on getting his body ready for the rigors of the Big Ten. Jewell spent most of his first year in Iowa under the tutelage of longtime Hawkeyes strength coach Chris Doyle.

“He’s a great motivator. He gets you going with everything.

If you’re not going hard enough on something, he’ll make sure you’re going hard,” Jewell said of Doyle.

Jewell made such an impression that he cracked the starting lineup late in 2014.

The first true sign that Jewell might be special came in an ugly bowl loss to Tennessee, when he made 14 tackles in a game the Hawkeyes knew was over before halftime.

In addition to putting on more than 40 pounds since high school, Jewell became dedicated to film study.

The results truly began to show last season, when Jewell made a team-leading 126 tackles and was named second-team All-Big Ten. “I’m not the strongest, fastest or biggest guy out there, so I just try to take advantage of the small things, whether it be watching more film or giving more in practice. Anything possible advantage I can take,” Jewell said.

“There are no moral victories at the varsity level,” Padget said. “We did some things well and could have done some things better. In the end, we lost. We can’t be real happy about anything.”

Bane led the Raiders with eight points and six rebounds.

Baldwin finished with seven points, senior Sydney Ziesman added five points and two steals and senior Mikayla Eslinger pulled down six boards.

Koudelka led the Cubs (1-1, 1-0) with 22 points, while Stephenson put in 15 and Ausman added nine.

Astrograph

Relations sometimes feel they have the right to be more critical than would be kind for anyone outside of the clan.

Such is the intimate nature of familial love. A grain of salt will not be enough to make these opinions palatable as Mercury and Saturn meet up.

Keep the shaker shaking, and if stronger spices are needed, the stars will point the way.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 23). Your appreciation for what you already have leads to augmented fortunes this solar return. You treat others with such tenderness through 2017 that relationships will develop an unparalleled depth of feeling. There’s a professional

advancement in February. A financial upswing begins in May and keeps building. Libra and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 33, 24 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Some of the most influential people of your life aren’t the type to readily give advice.

They just live exemplary lives, certain aspects of which you would love to emulate -- and today, you will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Smart people seek wisdom, and wise people seek intelligence. Certainly there will be plentiful examples of one without the other today, but

not from (well-rounded and deliberate) you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ve been there. You’ve been the source of the long sigh followed by “If only.� But now you’re too busy making things happen for yourself for such sighing. You need to be around people who are the same way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). “Vain is the word of a philosopher which does not heal any suffering of man.� There’s lots of advice out there today, mostly unhelpful, much of it impractical. It only adds to the beauty of a good ol’ to-do list.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Though it’s sometimes fun to touch on mystical topics, what

matters today more than who you were in a past life or how to interpret someone’s aura is who you are being now and how that’s working with the other person’s need of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

No one knows why, but even hungry livestock sometimes need to be prodded to the pasture. One never knows what might be distracting another person. Kindness is called for.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The person with the least need of a situation has the most cheerful, relaxed attitude toward it.

From this mood, a person can see and attract more opportunity. Today provides one more example of the benefits of detachment.

RJO, Inc. is looking for a full-time Data Entry Specialist/ New Member Coordinator to work in the Newton office during regularly scheduled business hours. Competitive wage and benefits package including health insurance and IRA matching contributions.

Position includes: • Preparing data for computer entry by compiling and sorting information; establishing entry priorities; • Enters customer and account data by inputting information into RJO’s computer system; • Verifies entered customer and account data by reviewing, correcting, deleting, or reentering data; • Maintains operations by following policies and procedures; • Manages all aspects of new member processes and membership acceptance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There is but one way to draw a straight line between two points. But if the line is crooked it can follow an infinite number of different paths.

Do what’s right. Go directly.

Get there the easy, simple way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). All things turn into fire in the end -- otherwise known as “the beginning,� because fire is also the birthmother of all things. Wherever you are in your creative process, it’s a good and necessary part of the cycle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There should be a name for the particular type of anxiety that accompanies technical difficulties. Software errors, password fails, Wi-Fi issues...

quickly let it go. You’ll come up with astoundingly creative solutions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Don’t let work take an outsized role on your sense of self.

You’re not defined by your work any more than you’re defined by what you own, who you know, or any other single element of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Maybe it’s impossible to tame that ocean of feeling inside you, but you’ll be incredibly powerful when moments of calm do come over you.

Through self-possessed, patient politeness you’ll get exactly what you want.

by Hub Arkush

Vikings offense hasn’t improved and defense has regressed The Vikings’ 30-24 victory over the Cardinals Sunday snapped a four-game losing streak and kept them tied with the Lions for first place in the NFC North while opening up a two-game lead over the Packers.

But the Way We Hear It, the Vikings still have an awful lot to fix before they can be considered a legitimate contender again.

Minnesota’s offensive woes have been well-documented, but with almost half of the Vikings’ points against Arizona coming on a 104-yard Cordarrelle Patterson kickoff return and a 100-yard Xavier Rhodes interception return, it’s not as if the Vikes really answered any questions on that side of the ball.

In fact, nothing’s improved at all since the somewhat surprising resignation of offensive coordinator Norv Turner almost three weeks ago. The 20 points against Washington included a touchdown on a 33-yard drive following a fumble recovery, and 17 points against the Cardinals came on a 44-yard TD drive following a 23-yard Marcus Sherels punt return.

According to our sources, Turner left over philosophical issues with head coach Mike Zimmer that went back almost a year regarding exactly what the best strategy is to overcome deficits on the offensive line.

While Zimmer, Turner and offensive line coach Tony Sparano all shared a link to the Cowboys, Turner is a Jimmy Johnson guy, while Zimmer, Sparano and interim offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur all share ties to Bill Parcells.

We hear it was Parcells’ influence causing Zimmer to prefer five- and seven-step drops to try and make plays down the field that Turner believed were impossible given the holes in the O-line.

Turner has moved on somewhat amicably and the offensive woes remain with Sparano and Shurmur, but that may not be the biggest problem the Vikings face.

When Minnesota hit 5-0, some were looking for comparisons of the Vikings defense to the great defenses of all time.

Through its first five games, Minnesota allowed 12.6 points per game. In the last six, it has given up 22.6. Through the first five weeks, the Vikings had 19 QB sacks and 10 takeaways. Over the past five

Norv Turner AP PHOTO

weeks, they have another 10 takeaways but just seven QB sacks.

Most notably, the Vikings defense seemed to disappear in the second half of a huge upset loss at Chicago on Monday night and again a week later in overtime versus the Lions.

Minnesota has lost a few starters to injury on defense, but by current league standards they’ve actually been fairly healthy.

Offensively, Minnesota was scoring 23.8 points a game when it was 5-0 and has scored 17.2 while going 1-4 since.

A report early this week trumpeted the possible return of Adrian Peterson as soon as a Christmas Eve trip to Lambeau Field to play the Packers, which would most likely help the offense. But the way we’re hearing it, the defense is actually a greater puzzle right now and just as big an issue.

82nd Annual Courthouse Lighting is Friday

By Michaella Cope and Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The 2016 edition of the Jasper County Courthouse Lighting is right around the corner, and a full evening of fun is planned for those who attend.

From 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, the square will be filled with lights, music and other activities for the families and eager spectators to experience.

The theme of this year’s lighting is “Twas the Lights Before Christmas.” The evening kicks off at 5 p.m. with the annual chili cook-off sponsored by the Young Professionals of Jasper County. Shortly after judging is complete, chili samples will be available to those in the crowd.

“We are really excited to be sponsoring the chili cookoff this year,” YPJC President Sveta Miller said. “Lighting of the courthouse is a tradition in this town, and we are proud to be part of that tradition. We are hoping for great weather and a great turn out of people.”

Also at 5 p.m., a DJ will start playing holiday favorites, and Plume Hill will begin giving horse and carriage rides around the Courthouse Square. Both events will conclude at 8 p.m.

A countdown will take place shortly before 6 p.m. in the northwest corner of the courthouse lawn culminating with the lights being turned on at the courthouse. The lighted parade, back after taking a brief hiatus last year, will begin shortly after the

lighting.

“The Jasper County Courthouse and the county supervisors are in charge of flipping the switch to get the lights on that night. The chamber is in charge of the activities that surround the actual lighting,” Greater Newton Area Cham-

ber of Commerce Executive Director Amanda Price said.

“We help make a ‘festival’ out of the tradition.”

Following the parade, Santa Claus will be inside the courthouse to greet children, young and old, and find out their Christmas wishes. Addi-

tional children’s activities will be available throughout the evening along with food vendors and plenty of Christmas cheer.

Those in attendance are also encouraged to take in the 4-H Festival of Trees located in the courthouse. Trees

from more than a dozen local 4-H clubs stand decorated in various themes to bring even more holiday spirit to the celebration.

4-H Festival of Trees back for the holiday season

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

File Photo More than a dozen trees will be on display during the holiday season as a part of the 4-H Festival of Trees at the Jasper County Courthouse. The trees will be up through Christmas with different decorations related to the overall theme “The Giving Tree.”

For the past decade, the holiday spirit at the Jasper County Courthouse has been provided one of the largest displays of decorated Christmas trees in the county. The display and warm Christmas feeling is thanks to the efforts of local 4-H groups for the 4-H Festival of Trees.

This week, more than a dozen 4-H groups from across the county brought their creative plans to decorate their trees to the courthouse. The trees will be on display for the public through Dec. 27.

“This event is special to us for this reason, and because it is something we do on a county level with all or most of our clubs and 4-H members getting togeth-

er for great causes,” Iowa State University Extension & Outreach Jasper County Youth Coordinator Stacey Wilson said.

The theme this year, as it has been for several years, is “The Giving Tree.” To decorate the trees, clubs chose an organization to support and either decorates the trees with the items to donate or places items to donate under the tree. Also, in some cases, the clubs donate the items ahead of time and display their efforts on a poster board placed by the tree, Wilson said.

“Part of the 4-H Pledge is ‘I pledge my hands to greater service, my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country and my world’ and this project just seems to fit so well with the ideals of 4-H,” Wilson

said.

As longstanding tradition at the courthouse, Wilson is appreciative of the use of the area and the cooperation of county officials and citizens during the festival.

“We are very thankful to the board of supervisors for letting us use the courthouse to not only display our trees, but to display the commitment to citizenship and community service that our 4-H families and leaders have,” Wilson said.

For more information on the Festival of Trees or Jasper County 4-H, call Stacey Wilson at 641521-2360.

Local businesses encourage to shop small on Saturday

By Michaella Cope and Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The third annual Shop Small event, sponsored

by Newton Main Street, is back and expanded for Small Business Saturday.

Main Street District retailers and restaurants are once again offering retail promotions, coupons and give-aways to help encourage community members to shop local after Thanksgiving.

“With the shop small event all local stores are welcome to participate and promote shopping within our community,” Newton Main Street Executive Director Graham Sullivan said.

Following the same

format as previous years, customers are able to collect coupons for purchases made at participating businesses between Saturday and Dec. 5. The coupons can be redeemed the in the following weeks until Dec. 24 and only at the same store where it was given.

Businesses will have the option of issuing coupons at two different levels: a $5 coupon for every $25 spent, or $1 for every $10 spent. Businesses may place additional restrictions on the coupons.

“There will be lots of decorations this year to bring people in, and with the Thanksgiving holiday there is always a great turnout,” Sullivan said.

“There will be lots of stuff

out there, and a few new stores to see.”

The promotion has received positive feed back in its first two years from citizens and businesses who have participated.

Sullivan asks community members to take on the challenge and Shop Small on Small Business Saturday.

“The most important thing about the Shop Small event is that it’s easy for people to go out to Des Moines and shop for Christmas, but this event challenges our community to get involved and have fun doing it,” Sullivan said.

File Photo Several hundred children and adults alike gather underneath a cherry picker in Dec. 2015 on Howard Street in downtown Colfax for the Snowball Drop. Colfax Country Christmas organizers will take a year off from the annual snowball activity for simpler celebration on Dec. 3. But free carriage rides, a live nativity, letters to Santa and a visit from Jolly Old St. Nick himself are in store for visitors.

Colfax Country Christmas Scaled down event aims to still bring holiday cheer

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News COLFAX — When Colfax Main Street volunteers sat down this year to plan what has become one of the most anticipated holiday events in Jasper County, they decided bigger isn’t always better.

Colfax Main Street Board Member and Promotions Committee Chairperson Justin Niceswanger said the annual holiday event scheduled from 4-7 p.m. Dec. 3 in downtown Colfax will have some returning favorites but might be missing a few activities, and that’s the plan.

“It’s going to be a little scaled back from previous years,” Niceswanger said. “We’re trying to keep it simpler, make it a good experience for everyone and have more focused activi-

ties this year.”

This year’s County Christmas will kick off as in years past, offering free carriage rides from Plume Hill Carriage of Newton. The horse-drawn shuttle will once again be making trips around Colfax’s downtown square from 4:30 to 7 p.m.

But taking a year hiatus will be the popular snowball drop, which involved dropping hundreds of ping pong balls from a crows nest towering above Howard Street all marked with prizes. The holiday wreath auction, traditionally a fundraiser for Colfax Main Street, will also be missing this year.

Children in attendance will again be able to write letters to Santa Claus at Hair Gallery on East Howard Street, and they are able to meet the big guy at Amanda Utz Photography Studio on Front Street. Parents can get a professional photograph of the moment taken by Utz. The Jasper County Tribune will once again host a holiday card-crafting event to benefit the Chicago nonprofit Cards for Hospitalized Kids, and a scavenger hunt will take people from business to business for

Niceswanger said he expects businesses to be open for exploration and shopping during Country Christmas.

New this year will be a roasted nut sale by Teen Challenge of the Midlands, with all proceeds going to benefit the Colfax-based nonprofit which helps teens and adults alike break the cycle of addiction.

Also, luminaries, downtown planters and decorations will line the city streets to give that warm, festive holiday feel.

Main Street officials said more events are still in the planning stage and will be announced prior to the event. But Niceswanger said volunteers are still hoping to organize a tour of homes, bring back the live nativity and Christmas carolers.

The way to make friends is to be a good one yourself DEAR ABBY: I am a 9-year-old girl in third grade. I have problems making friends. Girls my age and older don’t like me much. Boys my age and older seem to be fine.

It’s important I get help in making girl friends. I have three hopeless brothers I really don’t like. My mom said I should tell you what I do like — math, science, dolls and TV. I have crazy hair.

Did you have this problem when you were my age? I think people think I’m weird. — YOUNG READER IN KOKOMO, IND. DEAR YOUNG READER: Your mother is a smart woman. She knows how important common interests can be in forming relationships. Because you like math, science, dolls and TV, gravitate toward girls who like them, too. If you do, you may find that some of them are receptive. Remember — all you really need is one friend you can confide in.

As to the rest of your question, at your age I wasn’t part of the popular crowd. I was shy and terrible at sports, so I spent many hours alone in my room reading books. They kept me company and widened my horizons beyond my immediate neighborhood.

People at my grammar school probably thought I was weird, too, but many people who become successful as adults start out that way.

You and I have something else in common. I was self-conscious about my hair, too. It was curly and hard to handle because I hadn’t yet learned to style it. But as I grew older, I learned to manage it — as I’m sure you will.

And when I reached my mid-teens I found it easier to make female friends.

A valuable lesson I learned was to BE a friend when someone needs one, and to practice character traits I admired in others, such as kindness and honesty.

DEAR ABBY: What should I do about my mother-in-law, who has been bumming money from churches for more than 20 years from Ohio to Florida, even taking trips across the

country taking money along the way?

I have contacted every church in our area. But they still give her money, which she blows mostly at casinos and on her non-working boyfriend. I will no longer have anything to do with them, which of course is hard on my wife. Please advise. — OHIO READER DEAR READER: If you have contacted the clergy in your area about your mother-in-law’s scam and they still give her money, you have done everything you can. Because you no longer want anything to do with her and her deadbeat boyfriend, tell your wife she should see them without you. You have my permission.

DEAR READERS: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and no Thanksgiving would be complete without my sharing the traditional prayer penned by my dear mother: Oh, Heavenly Father, We thank Thee for food and remember the hungry.

We thank Thee for health and remember the sick.

We thank Thee for friends and remember the friendless.

We thank Thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.

May these remembrances stir us to service, That Thy gifts to us may be used for others. Amen.

Have a safe and happy celebration, everyone! — Love, ABBY

Stocking up on staples makes family happy for the holidays DEAR ABBY: With the holiday shopping season already here, may I suggest another way to look at gift giving? We all want to give the perfect gift to family members. Some gifts can cost a lot of money and some not. I would like people to take a step back and consider who they are buying for.

I stopped buying gifts for my parents and sister 10 years ago. Because their money is tight, I have been stocking their pantries with food and staples. I am well off enough financially that I have been able to fill their freezers with enough meat to last three months or more.

At Thanksgiving, my husband and I load up our car and bring the meat with us. Then my mom, sister, grandma and I go to the grocery store and buy staples for the pantry and what we need to make freezer meals. Abby, this takes so much pressure off them.

Food is expensive. So instead of buying Dad that new TV or sound system, or your sister that designer handbag, pause and take a hard look at their situation. Sometimes the need for basics outweighs the desire for the latest and greatest gadgets. Even paying a bill or two can help. Or gift cards for groceries.

I never expect presents from my family; all I want is for them to have some freedom in their lives from the daily worries. — NEW WAY OF GIFTING DEAR NEW WAY: I’m pleased to share your letter with readers who may be wondering what to give their relatives at Christmas.

And I’m sure that your generosity is deeply appreciated by your family.

Thank you for writing.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been dining out with another couple about twice a month.

We have not been able to entertain them at our home because it is not easily accessible and the man is in a wheelchair. Over the past several months his health has declined.

His mind is sharp, but his body is weakening.

The last time we met them for dinner, we couldn’t understand what he was saying, so his wife “interpreted.” Also, when he tries to eat, the food falls out of his mouth onto a bib and from there to the floor.

Abby, we just don’t know what to do. We really like this couple, but it is nauseating to watch him eat with food falling out of his mouth. Plus, the other patrons at the restaurants are starting to stare. We look forward to your advice. — PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO STARE DEAR PEOPLE: If this couple ever needed understanding friends, it’s now. Because you are embarrassed to be seen with them in a restaurant, consider bringing a take-out meal to their home. Granted, watching your friend struggle is painful. But if he’s going downhill as rapidly as you say, he needs your support more than ever, and so does his wife. And when he’s gone, you’ll know you did the right thing.

By Jenny Thompson Newton Hy-Vee Dietitian We have all been there. You get home from a long day and you are hungry. You don’t want to take the time to make dinner, so you just end up ordering food to go. And while that idea may be fine every once in a while, if it becomes a daily routine, it may cost you and your family an extra notch in the belt loop. Studies show that individuals who eat out daily are taking in about 200 extra calories a day.

Many barriers may get in the way from cooking at home such as a lack of time, a lack of resources or a lack of knowledge. But you don’t have to be a whiz in the kitchen to make meals that are quick and healthy. National Family Meals Month is the perfect time to get back into the habit of cooking for you and your family.

The first step to dining in is planning ahead. Take one morning or afternoon to plan your

meals for the week. Look at what evenings you and your family will all be at home to enjoy meals together. Check your pantry and see what ingredients you have and then make a list of the remaining items you need.

Next, prep as much as you can beforehand. Having meat already cut up and cooked can be a huge time saver when preparing a meal.

The same can be done to your fruits and vegetables; when you get home from the store, wash them before you put them in the fridge or pantry. That way everything is ready to go when needed.

Here are some other tips for creating a meal in a minute: Use your slow-cooker Although it takes between 6-8 hours to cook, putting the ingredients in the slow-cooker before you leave for the day only takes a minute and then a meal is ready to eat right when you get home.

Simply throw in a protein source such as beef, chicken, or pork, add

a little bit of liquid such as chicken broth, juice, soy sauce or any other of your favorite flavorings. Add in a dash of seasonings and some cut vegetables to make it a complete meal.

Use convenience foods Your local store offers precut fruits and vegetables to help you save time when you’re making a meal at home.

Ask a local dietitian or chef, or visit www.hy-vee.com for more information about quick 15-minute meal recipes.

Sign up for DISH, Hy-Vee’s meal-prep program. At the end of each class, each customer goes home with a cooler full of readyto-eat meals that can be placed in the freezer and defrosted when needed.

Find recipes with five ingredients or less. The less ingredients, the less prep work.

Try the open-face egg sandwich above for a quick meal any time of the day.​

Plan for holiday visits with older adults Iowa State University AMES — A visit from family and friends during the holidays can make life better for older adults in care facilities. Barbara Dunn Swanson, a human sciences specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, suggests planning ahead to make the most of these visits.

Swanson, who specializes in family life issues, offers the following tips for safe and healthy visits with older friends and relatives.

Start by planning ahead “As you begin to plan your visit, call the facility and check the visiting hours before you contact your older friend or relative,” Swanson said.

“That way you will ensure that you’ll have enough time to visit with your Submitted Photo loved one without interfering with Visiting an elder friend or family member is a great way to show care during the holiday. medical treatments or other activities.

Some indi-

viduals may become more confused or anxious with large numbers of visitors at the same time.

“A visit to the care facility is a wonderful gift, but when possible, plan a day ‘out’ suited to your loved one’s interests, health and strength, and your ability to handle his or her needs. If the excursion is well planned, your loved one may be able to enjoy a day away,” Swanson said.

She suggests that those who want to bring a gift for their loved one consider the following: a large, colorful calendar to help the person keep a sense of time; music the person would enjoy; personal toiletries, tissues or a decorative tissue holder; books or magazines in large print; flowers or a new plant; stamps and cards with pre-addressed envelopes; a gift certificate to the hair salon; specialized clothing, or socks or slippers with non-skid surfaces; a large-face or talking clock; a puzzle; or craft supplies. The care facility staff may have suggestions on gifts as well.

Stay home if not feeling well Care center residents and hospital patients can be at higher risk for infection. If children are sick or not feeling well, don’t bring them along for the visit.

“Likewise, if you have a cold or the flu, stay home,” Swanson said. “In these instances, a phone call is a better way to let your loved one know you care. If possible, you can set up a later time to visit when you are well.”

Three Arthritis pain drugs prove equally safe for the heart NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A new study gives some reassurance to arthritis sufferers who want pain relief but are worried about side effects.

It finds that Celebrex, a drug similar to ones withdrawn 12 years ago for safety reasons, is no riskier for the heart than some other prescription pain pills that are much tougher on the stomach.

“We do not want patients to suffer with pain and we need to know what is safe to give them,” said Dr. Steven Nissen, the Cleveland Clinic’s heart chief, who led the study. Fear that Celebrex would be worse than alternatives proved unfounded, and “on almost every endpoint it actually comes out the best.”

Some other doctors were

less confident, partly because follow-up information was missing on one-fourth of the participants, and many others stopped taking their assigned drug. Still, several independent experts said the main results are believable.

“I find this reassuring,” said Dr. Brian Strom, a drug safety expert and chancellor at Rutgers University in

Newark. No new side effects emerged and Celebrex “seemed safer that way.”

Results were discussed Sunday at an American Heart Association conference and published by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Here are some things to know about the study and options for soothing throbbing joints.

Many of the 52 million Americans with arthritis need long-term pain medicines and higher doses than over-the-counter ones, but some can cause serious stomach trouble. Vioxx and Bextra became blockbusters because they avoided this problem, but heart concerns emerged and the drugs were withdrawn.

Small retailers strategize with hope of successful holidays NEW YORK (AP) — Small and independent retailers are strategizing to try to make the most of an uncertain holiday season.

The last three months of the year are critical for many retailers, who may get half their annual revenue during that time. But consumers who may be hesitant to splurge have led retailers to be increasingly creative about special promotions and discounts, and also prompted many to use technology to help determine what customers want.

“We’ve had such a protracted, sluggish economy that I assume that’s the way it’s going to be,” says Brian Reardon, owner of Monster Music, which sells musical instruments and provides music lessons in Levittown, New York.

Reardon has found it harder to get more people to buy lessons — while the store has 600 students, that’s little changed over the past two years. To encourage prospective students or

their parents to sign up, he gives away an acoustic guitar when they pay for six months of lessons that cost $600.

Although overall spending at retailers across the country rose in September and November,

it remains weak at many stores that get much of their revenue from the holidays. Sales at department stores fell more than 5 percent the first 10 months of the year, according to the Commerce Department. At electron-

ics stores, they were off more than 3 percent, and they edged up just 0.4 percent at clothing stores. Forecasters generally have predicted retailers will see holiday sales increase a decent 3 percent to 4 percent.

“They’re going to have to provide some level of added value, innovation and quality,” says Joe Brusuelas, chief economist with RSM US, a consulting firm whose clients include retailers.

Traditional brick-and-mortal stores have lost business not only to the internet but also to consumers’ growing preference for travel and other experiences over possessions, he says.

Mark Aselstine’s wine club and gift basket sales growth has been flat. So he’s planning to give customers more options when they order from Uncorked Ventures; alongside the company’s $150 baskets will be some priced $115, with cheaper shipping. The baskets can be preselected or customized.

“The market quite honestly simply hasn’t moved in our di-

rection as much as we’d hoped over the past few years,” says Aselstine, whose company is based in Berkeley, California.

Some of his customers are looking for good bottles but at lower prices. He’s seeing more interest in pinot noir from New Zealand, which costs half of what the California version does. Choices like that have brought down the price of baskets the company sells — while two years ago the average price was $322, now it’s $45 to $50 less.

Even companies that seem like they might not have to worry during the holidays are offering deals.

Jacques Torres, who sells his high-end chocolate and other food at nine locations in New York and online, has a special promotion with a sandwich, beverage and ice cream for $10 at his cafe in Grand Central Terminal. Torres, whose chocolates retail for nearly $40 a pound, has a lot of competition and rising expenses like rent and wages.

Two Ames natives make their debut as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Cavalier Newton Daily News A “must see” event is the Iowa State Center’s presentation of The Nutcracker Ballet.

This annual production is the longest-running Nutcracker in Iowa and showcases sensational talent on stage at Stephens Auditorium.

A cast of more than 200 skilled dancers from more than a dozen central Iowa communities will delight audiences of all ages in this holiday masterpiece. This production features choreography by Robert Thomas and Miyoko Kato Thomas of the Dancenter in Ames.

The Nutcracker Ballet tells the story of a young girl, a heroic prince, and the fantastic dream they share. From the opening party scene to the last tinkling notes of Tchaikovsky’s famous score, a festive holiday spirit permeates the whole performance.

Along with exceptional local talent, The Nutcracker Ballet welcomes new professional principal dancers Liza Kroeschell in the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Brock James Henderson as her Cavalier.

Liza Kroeschell is an Ames native. She took her first dance class at the Robert Thomas Dancenter at age three, where she continued to train through high school under Robert Thomas, Miyoko Kato Thomas, Wendy Kepley, Lisa Luiken Woxwell, Ellen Mullen and Maureen McGrath as a member of the Dancenter Dancers Company. Kroeschell continued her dance training

in college, graduating summa cum laude from the Alonzo King Lines B.F.A. program at Dominican University of California in May 2015.

Today, Kroeschell remains actively involved in the San Francisco Bay Area dance community. She teaches dance in public and private elementary schools throughout the city, and has performed professionally in dawsondancesf ’s Intima (2015) and Garrett + Moulton Production’s The Luminous Edge (2016) and Speak, Angels (2016) as a member of the movement choir. This is Kroeschell’s seventh Iowa State Center Nutcracker and first in the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

Brock James Henderson is a Central Iowa native and lives in Dallas, Texas. He began his dance training at age 16, studying at the Robert Thomas Dancenter with Robert Thomas, Miyoko Kayto, and Maureen McGrath, while participating in the Dancenter Dancer Company. Henderson graduated from Marymount Manhattan College in 2014 earning a BFA in Dance, under the direction of Katie Langan. While at Marymount, he was a member of the MMC Dance Company and had the privilege of performing works choreographed by Dwight Rhoden, Twyla Tharp, Emery LaCrone, Pedro Ruiz, Ray Mercer, Jessica Lang, John Butler, Tami Stronach, among others. In 2011, he was awarded the New York City Dance Alliance Foundation Adele Astaire Scholarship. Additionally, he

has trained in numerous summer intensives including Springboard Danse Montreal, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet American Ballet Theater Collegiate, and the Joffrey Ballet School. Since graduating with his Bachelors of Fine Arts, Henderson has danced as an apprentice with ZviDance and 10HairyLegs in New York and is currently a full company dancer with Bruce Wood Dance Project in Dallas Texas. He is excited and grateful for this opportunity to share, grow and learn with the other talented artists in the place where his dance dreams began, and is thankful for his parents, mentors, and friends for their continued support

and love.

‘Tis the season for bell ringing Salvation Army to assist 600 families in need

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News With the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, it is somehow easy to overlook the big red kettles and the seasonal bells chiming outside of many stores.

The reasons for the bells? To reach more than 600 families in need in Jasper County.

The Jasper County Salvation Army is aiming to raise $35,500 during the months of November and December just from the kettles campaign alone.

The money goes toward maintaining programs throughout the year.

In 2015, bell ringers raised $34,984. Major Mikey Carter is hopeful the generosity will resume this holiday season.

Bell ringers began fundraising Nov. 18, and they will continue through the end of December. Volunteers are still needed to ring bells at Hy-Vee, Fareway, Farver True Value and Theisen’s.

The Salvation Army will assist 246 households with Thanksgiving and Christmas food donations this year, which is 660 individuals. Food donations will be used for holiday food baskets.

In addition, 72 households, which is 196 children, are signed up to

receive donated Christmas toys through the Angel Tree program.

Carter said most residents who are requesting assistance are not families who have recently moved to the area but are residents who may be facing unexpected hardships, such as, sudden medical expenses or unemployment.

“They are families who have been longterm residents who had a crisis happen to them that put them in a desperate circumstance,” Carter said.

Another way to spread seasonal cheer through the Salvation Army is to volunteer to

St. Nick’s Christmas Club continues to spread holiday cheer to Jasper County children

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News Most people think Santa’s elves have names like Jingles, Snowball, Candy and other holiday names. In reality Santa’s elves have names like Julie, Lori, Russ, Kathy, Lisa, Liz and Suzy. These elves and many more aren’t found at the North Pole either, they live right in Jasper County.

For nearly 30 years, St. Nick’s Christmas Club and its “elves” have been working to provide Christmas for hundreds of children who call Newton and Jasper County home.

Annually, the group of volunteers serve 600 or more children, ensuring each child receives toys and clothing, along with a box of food for each child’s family.

“Christmas should be an exciting — joyous time for children, unfortunately there are children in our community who would not have be able to have a happy Christmas experience were it not for the rest of the community pulling together to make it so,” said Julie Bak, who serves as the St. Nick’s president.

The club, which was started by a handful of friends, has evolved during its 28 year history. It has gone from delivering gifts directly to homes to now having a distribution day in December, from wrapped

presents to offering free wrapping paper, and from serving a handful of families to serving more than 200 each year. While things have changed for the group, one thing has not — the group’s passion and commitment to providing a happy holiday to Jasper County children regardless of their circumstances.

“I got involved initially because it was a great idea,” Kathy Doyle said. “I still want all kids to experience the spirit of giving, to have healthy food to eat, and to have a new outfit to wear back to school, just like their friends.”

St. Nick’s allows any Jasper County resident in need of assistance the opportunity to apply for holiday help.

Applications were made available in October

and families applied assistance for their children from newborn to 18 years old. Volunteers said the club’s work would not be possible without the community’s generosity it has experienced year after year.

“Businesses, organizations, churches and private citizens make donations to our club, groups and individuals adopt our families, (and) there are fund raisers where the proceeds are donated to St. Nick’s Christmas Club,” Bak said. “We have club members who work behind the scenes to make this effort operate as smoothly as it does, we have helpers to shop, do inventory, haul tons of food and packages and make up the food boxes. We rely and count on the generosity and

Twenty-three wrestlers, coach Andy Swedenhjelm, right and club organizer Russ Leix moved the bags from the church to the truck in preparation for gift distribution. Many bags included bicycles and other large or heavy presents.

kindness of the whole community.”

For those wanting to help spread Christmas cheer, the St. Nick’s Christmas Club adoption book is available at the Newton Daily News office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Families are listed with information about each child, including clothing sizes

and items they would like to receive. Those adopting families must commit to providing new clothing items — underwear, socks, a shirt and pants — and at least one toy off the child’s wish list.

For those unable to adopt a family but would like to support the group with a monetary donation, send

checks payable to St. Nick’s Christmas Club to P.O. Box 162, Newton, IA 50208.

“Most people I know think of children at Christmas time and hope they all have a joyous time,” Doyle said.

“St. Nick’s has been dependable and trustworthy in making that happen through the years.”

Thank You! Jason Boggs

Submitted Photo Newton Community Theatre will host “It’s a Wonderful Life,” featuring character George Bailey and family, Dec. 2-4 and Dec. 8-10.

Newton Community Theatre to host ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Newton Community Theatre ​It’s a story almost as familiar as the Christmas story — “It’s a Wonderful Life” — and the Newton Community Theatre will host the stage adaptation.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” is written by James W. Rodgers and based on the film by Frank Capra. It will be directed by Sue Buekema and Pam Ratliff.

Performances dates are scheduled Dec. 2-4 and Dec. 8-10.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” is an American story almost as familiar as Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”

The story is the saga of

George Bailey, the everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls.

Bailey dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty.

His guardian angel has to descent on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him — by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born — that his has been, after all, a wonderful life.

This faithful adaptation has favorite characters George and Mary Hatch, Clarence, Uncle Billy, Violet and, of course, the Scrooge-like villain, Mr. Potter.

This fine dramatization not only celebrates the faith of the season, it also celebrates the American philosophy of life: hard work, fair play and the love and support of one’s family and community will be rewarded.

Tickets are now on sale. They are $12 for adults and $10 for youth.

For more information or reservations, call the theatre box office at 641-792-1230 or visit www.newtontheatre.com.

The box office is open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday as well as one hour before each performance.

Countdown to Christmas with holiday’s most beloved tunes Compiled by Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News As the last bit of turkey is savored and grandma’s sweet potatoes are put into an empty butter bowl for safe keeping in the fridge, thoughts of dressing and stuffing will quickly turn to jingle bells, mistletoe and Santa Claus. To help get into the holiday spirit here is a list of some of the most beloved songs of the Christmas season.

1White Christmas

Bing Crosby, 1942 Written by master composer and lyricist Irving Berling, the iconic lyrics hark to a Christmas of simpler times and beams with nostalgia. While many equate the song with the 1954 movie of the same name, the song debuted in the movie “Holiday Inn” which starred Crosby. For more than 70 years the song has been a perennial favorite and been recorded by hundreds of artists including Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, The Drifters, Elvis Presley, Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Beach boys, The Supremes, Tony Bennett, Willie Nelson, and yes, even the New Kids on the Block.

“White Christmas” is indisputably the best Christmas song as Crosby’s version is the best-selling single (of any song) of all time with more than 100 million copies, according to Guinness World Record. If that weren’t enough, the song won an Academy Award for Best Song from a Motion Picture

2The Christmas Song

Nat King Cole, 1961 First recorded by Mel Torme, “The Christmas Song” – often referred to as “Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire” - was made famous by Nat King Cole. While Cole first recorded the song in 1946, according to Grammy.

org, the most popular version is from his 1961 recording. Today, the holidays are ushered in with a simple message from the famed baritone voice: “And so I’m offering you this simple phrase, to kids from 1 to 92, although it’s been said many times many ways, Merry Christmas to you.

Jingle Bells

James Lord Pierpont, 1857 “Jingle Bells,” which was originally published as “One Horse Open Sleigh,” has become an American standard sung by school children and some of the world’s most famous recording artists. The song was written in Medford, Mass., in 1850, but not published til 1857, according to Wikipedia.com The song also has the distinction of being the first song broadcast from space as it was performed by Gemini 6 astronauts Tom Stafford and Wally Schirra on Dec. 16, 1965. T h e song also popular on the playground has been parodied for decades. Does the lyrics “Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg” ring any bells?

4Blue Christmas

additional changes to the song and released it as “Little Drummer Boy.” The version most widely recognized today is the Harry Simeone Chorale recording.

Be Home For 6I’ll Christmas

Bing Crosby, 1943 The song was released in the midst of World War II and is written from the perspective of a soldier longing to be home with family and friends at Christmas time. First recorded by Bing Crosby in 1943, the song became instantly popular and spent 11 weeks on the charts. In 1944, Crosby performed the song once again and it was released by the U.S. War Department.

It too holds the distinction of being part of NASA history. Gemini 7 astronauts Frank Borman and Jim Lovell requested the song be played for them by the NASA ground crew in December 1965, according to the Library of Congress. In 1974, lyricist Kim Gannon left the royalty rights to the song to the American Heart Association.

Elvis Presley, 1957 One of the most solemn of Christmas songs, Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas” has become a rock’n’roll holiday classic. For more than decades, Presley’s Graceland has been decorated with hundreds of blue lights as an homage to the King’s iconic Christmas tune. The only known video recording of Elvis singing a Christmas song is from his 1968 comeback special, according to songfacts.com

Harry Simeone Chorale, 1958 Based on a traditional Czech carol, K.K. Davis wrote the song was originally released as “Carol of the Drum” in 1941. In 1958, Harry Simeone made

The 8Rudolph Red-Nosed Reindeer

Gene Autry, 1949/Burl Ives, 1964 Ask any child to name Santa’s reindeer and Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer is likely to be the answer.

But many don’t realize that Rudy was created in 1939 as part of a holiday promotion for the store Montgomery Ward, according to History.com. The story was adapted into a song by songwriter Johnny Marks. Rudolph became part of mainstream Christmas culture when country crooner Gene Autry recorded the song in 1949. Autry’s version hit No. 1 on the charts and sold 1.75 million copies its first year. In 1964, the song regained popularity with the Burl Ives recording was part of the CBS special’s soundtrack.

Fifty-two years later, Rudolph has become a part of holiday traditions as the special is still shown annually.

Brenda Lee, 1958 At just 13 years old, Brenda Lee was given a Christmas gift, the chart topping “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree.” The song was written by Johnny Marks who also penned “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Run Rudolph Run” and other popular Christmas tunes, according to The Hymns and Carols of Christmas. “You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear” Lee sing her holiday hit as she still tours during the holiday season singing the famous tune, according to

Andy Williams, 1963 The song is synonymous with crooner Andy Williams. He first recorded the song in 1963 and it was popularized by its performance on “The Andy Williams Show,” which aired until 1971. Williams, a native of Wall Lake, Iowa, continued to perform the song in concerts and on TV specials until his death in 2012.

Little Town of 10OBethlehem

13Santa Baby

Eartha Kitt, 1953 A decade before Eartha Kitt donned the claws and tight black Catwoman costume on TV’s “Batman,” she was a successful singer who recorded the tongue-in-cheek “Santa Baby.” Released in 1953, the song shares a very grown up Christmas list of yachts, a sable, a ’54 convertible, jewelry from Tiffany’s, and yes, even a platinum mine. According to Eartha Kitt’s web site, the singer and actress said “Santa Baby” was one of her all-time favorite songs to record.

was featured in the cartoon classic “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.”

The lyrics describe the Grinch as “a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce” while warning people not to go near the furry green fun-hater with a “thirty-nine and a half foot pole.” Today, the term Grinch is used to describe anyone who does not enjoy the holiday or is caught up in the Christmas spirit. While no credit is given in the special, the song was sung by Thurl Ravenscroft, who was also the voice of Tony The Tiger and many Disney characters. Despite being a non-traditional Christmas tune the song has become a staple on the radio during the holidays.

20Jingle Bell Rock

Bobby Helms, 1957 One of the earliest rocking holiday hits was recorded in 1957 by Bobby Helms for Decca Records. Helms, a country singer, took the holiday rock’n’roll song to No. 6 on the charts even though it was released just two days before Christmas in 1957, according to songfacts.com.

17Feliz Navidad

Jose Felician, 1970 The catchy and lyrically simplistic tune “Feliz Navidad” was written and performed by Puerto Rican singer Jose Feliciano. According to American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, the song is one of the Top 25 most played and recorded Christmas songs around the world.

(Christmas Don’t Be Late)

The Chipmunks, 1958 Alvin, Simon, Theodore are perhaps the three best known chipmunks in the world, due, in large part to their hit “The Christmas Song” recorded in 1958. The Chipmunks sing the wish of every child that Christmas will soon arrive saying “we can hardly stand the wait, please Christmas don’t be late.”

The high-pitched hit reached No. 1 on Billboard charts and went on to win the highest musical honor. According to grammy.com, the song won three Grammy Awards in spring of 1959 at the inaugural award show for Best Comedy Performance, Best Children’s Recording and Best Engineered Recording. To put that into perspective, Elvis Presley did not win a Grammy until 1967, according to Graceland. com

Days of 12Twelve Christmas

1780 “Twelve Days of Christmas” has the distinction of being the second oldest song on the countdown. According to Wikipedia, the song was first published in England in 1780 as a change.

14Last Christmas

Wham!, 1984 Nothing says Christmas like synthesizers and George Michaels delivered when he wrote and produced “Last Christmas” for his group Wham!

Released on Dec. 10, 1984, the song has become a modern hit and has been covered by dozens of artists including from Carole King and Coldplay to AXS and the cast of “Glee,” according to Wikipedia.com.

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Nov. 23, 2016 Holidays Easy guide for creating an amazing holiday cheese board 8D |

Brandpoint Whether it’s a small gathering of close friends or a large family affair, hosting a holiday party makes the season extra magical. Looking for ideas that are guaranteed to impress?

This year, a new food trend is elevating events and tantalizing taste buds: cheese boards.

“A simple cheese board featuring quality ingredients will have guests thinking you are a culinary mastermind,” says Chef Michael Symon, co-host of ABC’s “The Chew,” author of four best-selling cookbooks and restaurateur. “The best part? Creating one is quick and easy. It’s a gourmet option without the fuss.”

To make a decadent holiday cheese board that will satisfy every palate, follow these tips: Uncover easy inspiration Expert inspiration is just a click away with the Castello(R) Cheese Board Builder, located at www.CastelloCheeseUSA.com. Answer a handful of simple questions on your taste and dietary preferences, and in less than a minute, you’ll receive a cheese board made specifically for you. Each board features creatively crafted ingredients and suggestions for how to cut your cheeses for a gourmet presentation.

Select the perfect cheese varieties For smaller gatherings, three cheeses on your board will provide a nice variety and offer a visually appealing presentation. For parties with more than 10 people, consider five or seven offerings. Strive to select flavors that will appeal to different palates, yet complement one another. For example, a mild and buttery Castello Creamy Havarti pairs beautifully with the salty, tangy Castello Traditional

Danish Blue. Complete your trio with the slightly crunchy Aged Havarti, and you have the perfect combination of cheese varieties.

Determine the right quantity of cheese Getting the right amount of cheese is simple if you follow these guidelines: • As an hors d’oeuvre: 1 to 1.5 ounces of each cheese type per person • As a light meal: 2 to 3 ounces of each cheese type per person Cheese serving guidelines: Set out cheese 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can fully develop before guests arrive.

Find festive pairings Cheese should be the hero of the board, but including foods that enhance their flavors brings your board to another level. A good rule of thumb is to include four types of pairings: bread, charcuterie (prepared meats), something sweet and something savory or salty. Because it’s the holidays, feel free to incorporate the essence of the season into your platter. Here are some ideas: • Crusty baguettes, rich rye toast or cinnamon raisin bread crisps • Sweet figs, vanilla bean infused honey and cranberry or lingonberry preserves • Serrano ham, hot chorizo sausage or smoked wild-caught salmon • Candied almonds, glazed pistachios or roasted chestnuts • Salty Kalamata olives or spicy hot pickles Add holiday touches Virtually any platter can be used for your cheese board. Metallic plates add holiday glam. For rustic charm, try a wide wooden cutting board. And a white marble stone is a stunning reflection of the snowy season. After you

select a platter, arrange cheese across or in a clockwise pattern on the board from mildest to strongest.

Finally, add the pairings in small groups throughout the board and label so guests recognize each item.

For a festive appearance, add décor

like pine cones or mistletoe and holiday-inspired cheese knives for serving. Not only will your cheese board satisfy hunger pangs, but it’s sure to be a popular gathering spot at the party where guests can mingle and discuss your selections. Bon appétit!

Glad tidings: Wonderful wines to share at holiday celebrations Brandpoint As the weather cools and the fireplace whets your appetite for comfort and relaxation, thoughts naturally turn to friends, family, good

food and drinks ... enjoyable moments this season so notably brings.

Whether you plan to be the host or a guest at the festivities, you can make a lasting impression by offering up some tasty

and carefully selected pairings of wine and appetizers. Sharing delicious food and drinks can be a great conversation starter and create memorable holiday experiences. Consider

these suggestions for delicious combinations that will impress even your most experienced wine-loving and foodie friends.

• Choose a bottle of Leese-Fitch Caber-

net Sauvignon, hailing from where cab is king, sunny California. The enjoyable finish of this full-bodied wine features hints of toasted coconut and rich vanilla to balance out the

dark fruit overtones.

The meat lovers in your group will enjoy this wine with easy-to-prepare braised beef short ribs or turkey meatballs.

Holiday Wines Continued from Page 8D You could even offer up a strategic selection of crackers and aged cheeses, ranging from a sharp cheddar to a higher-end Chalosse or Reblochon.

Picture those pairings as you reunite with friends around the holiday table.

• A pinot noir can be an excellent introduction to red wine for the white wine drinker, and is a great choice for the holiday season because it pairs effortlessly with a variety of foods. Whip up a batch of salmon tartare on toasted wontons for your next dinner party to go with the light, red fruit and earthy elements typical of this varietal. Try the Moobuzz Pinot Noir, named after “the land of milk and honey” (the California Central Coast), which features an abundance of red currant, dark cherry, rich mocha and wild strawberry ... with a finish one critic compares to “a velvet blanket.” This is one you’ll want to snuggle in!

• Those celebrating a special occasion, or any day that ends in “Y,” may enjoy the festive White Knight Prosecco D.O.C. with crisp aromas of acacia flower, apple, white peach and citrus fruit, this bubbly is a nice change from the typical white wine. It is great by itself as an aperitif or as a base for a festive French 75 cocktail. Enjoy this lively sparkler with mini quiches at a wedding shower, gathering of friends or your company holiday party.

No holiday celebration is complete until eggnog has been served Excellent Eggnog

Metro Creative

Serves 8

The holiday season is rife with tradition, from Christmas trees to lighting displays to visits with Santa Claus at the local mall. Families reunite come the holiday season to exchange gifts, enjoy meals together and do a little catching up along the way.

But the holiday season also is synonymous with parties.

Whether it’s to enjoy an office holiday party, a gathering with family and friends or a more intimate gathering at home, such celebrations are a big part of the holiday season and a main reason why this is such a festive and beloved time of year.

As this is a season of celebrating, it’s good to remember that no holiday party is truly complete until eggnog has been served. Enjoyed almost exclusively during the holiday season, eggnog is as much a staple of holiday celebrations as stockings hung by the chimney with care. This year, impress your holiday guests with the following recipe for “Excellent Eggnog” from A.J. Rathbun’s “Good Spirits” (Harvard Common Press).

8 large eggs, preferably organic 21/4 cups superfine sugar 8 8 4 1

ounces brandy ounces rum ounces bourbon quart milk Freshly grated nutmeg for garnish

1. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, setting the whites aside for a moment.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the yolks with a hand mixer until completely combined. Add the sugar and beat until it reaches a creamy consistency.

3. Add the brandy, rum and bourbon, and then the milk, beating well.

4. In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form (be sure before beating the whites that you have cleaned and thoroughly dried the beaters).

5. Fold the egg whites into the yolk-sugar-alcohol mixture. Refrigerate the mix until well chilled (at least 3 hours).

6. Stir to recombine as needed. Serve the eggnog in mugs, topping each serving with some nutmeg.

Holiday menu planning for first-time hosts Metro Creative Novice holiday hosts often have a lot on their plates.

Whether hosting family or friends or a combination of both, first-time hosts typically want to impress their guests while ensuring they get enough to eat and have an enjoyable evening. Since dinner is such a big part of holiday gatherings, hosts often place extra emphasis on what to serve, and that can be tricky when this is the first time they are hosting.

When planning the menu for your holiday soiree, consider the following tips.

• Get a head count. Though other factors will influence what to serve, the size of your guest list may ultimately dictate what to serve. For example, a small gathering of four to five people will likely rule out turkey, as even a small turkey will prove too much effort and produce too much extra food.

On the same note, a small dish like lasagna might not be doable for a larger crowd, as it will force you to prepare multiple entrees, which means more time in the kitchen juggling the various cooking duties and less time with your guests.

Once you have confirmed just

how many guests you will be hosting, you can then choose a main course that suits the size of your guest list.

• Decide which type of party you want to host. The type of party you want to host also will influence what you serve.

A formal gathering should include an appetizer, a main course and a dessert, including both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees. A less formal gathering gives hosts more leeway. For example, whereas a formal gathering may include soup as an appetizer, hosting a less formal gathering allows hosts to put out some snacks or

bread for guests to whet their appetites before everyone sits down for the meal. The more formal the gathering, the more formal the menu. Hosts of less formal gatherings may even want to host a holiday pot luck buffet, inviting guests to bring a favorite dish or side dish while the hosts take care of the main course.

• Ask guests if they have any dietary restrictions. Upon being invited to a holiday dinner, some invitees may let hosts know if they have any food allergies or medical conditions that restrict which foods they can eat.
