Lieutenant suffers minor injuries while making arrest Homeless man charged with trespass, interference

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A call about a disturbance in a Newton store led to an arrest on multiple charges and minor injuries to a Newton Police lieutenant.

Police were summoned at about 3 p.m.

Tuesday to the Goodwill store, located at 1118 First Ave E., by store personnel who said a man was using foul language and refused to leave. Lt. Ron Cook responded to the call and repeated the directive to leave the store.

The man, August G. Miller, 54, who is a homeless person from the Newton area, also refused Cook’s directive to leave. He told Cook he was from another state said he was someone else. Cook told Miller he would be arrested for trespass, and

he again refused to leave.

C o o k moved to arrest M i l l e r, he tried to grab the lieutenant, Miller a n d Cook took the suspect to the ground.

Miller allegedly dug his fingernails his fingernails into Cook’s face, causing a laceration.

Miller was eventually detained and was taken to Jasper County Jail.

Merchandise in the store was damaged during the struggle. It’s valued at less than $200.

Miller is charged with criminal trespass, interference with official acts/bodily injury, fifth-degree criminal mischief — all misdemeanor offenses. He is currently being held at Jasper County Jail on a $4,000 cash-only bond.

Wednesday wreck sends three to hospital BREAKING NEWS

Aggressive chili-eaters take advantage of mild weather

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Only 20 minutes into the chili cookoff that was a part of Friday’s Jasper County Courthouse Lighting ceremony, the cooks were already scraping the bottoms of their pots.

That’s how much enthusiasm hundreds of people had for this

year’s 82nd annual lighting event — and they arrived hungry. After polishing off the supplies of all four of the Young Professionals of Jasper County Chili Cookoff entrants, the spectators still had time to get hot chocolate, take a Plume Hill Carriage ride or inspect the Festival of Trees inside the courthouse before the lighting occurred.

When Virginia Versteegh was finally able to hit switch and the lights went on, cheers went up from the hundreds of area residents who took advantage of the mild weather. With temperatures in the upper 30s and a tolerable breeze, most of the crowd stuck around to hear the COURTHOUSE | 3A

Three vehicles were involved in a Wednesday evening wreck along Highway 117 at Highway F34, north of Colfax, leading to three people going to local hospitals with apparently non-life threatening injuries.

Their conditions and identities weren’t immediately available. Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said the accident happened at about 4:45 p.m., right at sunset.

north on 117. The driver of a compact four-door vehicle slowed down to turn left on Highway F34, stopping to allow the southbound traffic pass. The car was struck from behind by a pickup truck, which had been pushed forward when it was struck from behind by another compact car.

All three vehicles suffered extensive damage.

Businesses get steady traffic on big shopping day Small Business Saturday places focus on local commerce

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News For some Newton Main Street district businesses, not only was Small Business Saturday busy, parts of the traditional Friday were kind as well.

Other businesses, on the other hand, saw customers on a more sporadic basis, but nearly every establishment in the downtown area saw at least some traffic on one of the busiest shop-

ping weekends of the year.

“We were here until about 7:30 on Friday night,” said Laurie Nelson of Relics, one of the recently relocated businesses on the Jasper County Courthouse square.

In addition to Small Business Saturday being a national effort to help America’s tiniest storefronts hold their own with corporate giants, the Newton Main Street program has a more lo-

calized program called Shop Small.

Through Shop Small, customers are able to collect coupons for purchases made at participating businesses through Dec. 5. A coupon can be redeemed the in the following weeks until Dec. 24 at the same store where it was issued.

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

Culver’s third annual Thanksgiving meal a success

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Thanksgiving Day is often a time for friends and family to gather and give thanks and the same was true at the third annual Culver’s Thanksgiving meal. Owners Curt and Mandy Herbig once again welcomed community members to the restaurant for a free turkey dinner with plenty of sides and even more desserts.

“When we first moved here, we figured we would donate our time to a shelter in Des Moines but since Culver’s is closed on Thanksgiving, if there is a need in Newton, we thought, ‘Let’s just throw one in Newton, teach the kids something and help out the community,’” Curt Herbig said.

Long before the doors opened at 11 a.m. to the first diners, volunteers were hard at work preparing a meal to feed close to 300 people.

From people volunteering to cook the turkey to a woman donating 10 pies she baked herself and the 30 to 40 volunteers who came on Thanksgiving day to serve, a strong sense of community was evident when preparing for the meal.

“The outpouring of our volunteers was crazy. We had people that didn’t even sign up that came in and wanted to help,” Curt Herbig said.

“I think at one time we had 30 volunteers that came in to help. That is great that many people showed up and wanted to help.”

Along with turkey, the volunteers served mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, cole slaw, dinner rolls and a wide variety of desserts

including several types of pies, cookies and brownies. The turkeys were purchased with a gift card donated by Walmart with community members donating to cover additional costs.

The meal not only serves as a way to feed those in the community but also a fundraiser for the Newton Salvation Army.

“There were quite a few people that came in and donated quite a bit of money, it was very nice to see,” Curt Herbig

said.

It also brought in several people traveling on Interstate 80 who got quite the surprise when they were expected to order a burger and fries.

“There were a lot of travelers that came in.

They saw the cars in the parking lot and thought we were open,” Herbig said. “Those people come in thinking what do we do? But all of the volunteers were very welcoming, telling them to come get a turkey dinner on us. Most people that came in off of the

interstate, not even from Iowa, donated quite a bit of money to help out.

That was nice to see, a lot of people who care.”

With three successful years under the belt, Herbig sees the Thanksgiving meal continuing many years into the future.

“No matter how many people we serve, we will still do it,” Herbig said.

“I don’t care if it is five or 500, we will serve.”

DirecTV wants to be the next online substitute for cable NEW YORK (AP) — There are already a few online services that aim to replace cable, but they haven’t attracted many users yet. AT&T’s DirecTV hopes to change that.

While just about any person you meet on the street will tell you cable costs too much, the vast majority of Americans don’t think it’s bad enough to cancel. Cheaper online live-TV services, like Dish Network’s Sling TV and Sony’s PlayStation Vue, remain relatively unknown compared with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. And while they’re easy to order and cancel online and fairly simple to use, they still have drawbacks.

“No one has really delivered the right combination of content, price and ease that will get people to make that call to their current provider and say sayonara,” said Forrester analyst Jim Nail.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we had almost 1,000 people come out this year,” City of Newton Development Specialist Craig Armstrong said. “We’ve had some years where the temperature was in the teens with ice and snow all around, but it was better this time, for folks who were bundled up.”

Versteegh’s name was chosen in a drawing from people who made a donation of at least $5 to the courthouse lighting fund.

She said the donation was on behalf of her entire family, but family members elected her

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 28, 2016 | 3A

to be the one to switch on the lights.

Versteegh said she made the donation in the name of her mother, Maud Kling Versteegh, who enjoyed many years of courthouse lighting ceremonies before she passed away in 1994.

Dalene Ogden’s entry was chosen by the people as the trophy winner for the best chili. The local baker and restaurateur said she hadn’t concocted a special recipe or name for the tasty supplies she brought to the contest.

“It’s just good old-fashioned ‘Bun in the Oven’ chili and cornbread,” she said, smiling.

The parade included about 11 entries and used the theme of “’Twas the Lights Before Christmas.” TPI Composites, Inc., Newton’s OPEN Program, Iowa Speedway and the Jasper Coun-

ty Historical Museum were all represented, along with Newton fire and police personnel.

Long after the brief parade concluded, visitors were still looking at the Festival of Trees 4-H decorations inside the courthouse and there was still a long line for Plume Hill Carriage rides.

Armstrong praised first-year Greater Newton Chamber of Commerce Director Amanda Price and many others for their had work in putting the event together.

“Amanda really did a phenomenal job with this,” Armstrong said. “That’s a lot to coordinate, and it went terrifically.”

Wreck sends one woman to hospital

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A Sunday accident led to at least one person being transported to Skiff Medical Center.

According to a Jasper County Sheriff’s Office report, a collision occurred late Sunday morning at the intersection of Highway 14 and N. 23rd Avenue W., near Union Cemetery.

Rachel N. Cook, 25, of Newton, was transported to Skiff Medical Center by ambulance with unknown injuries.

Newton Police Dept. Lt. Bill Henniger said a medical helicopter was initially placed on stand-by, as accidents at that intersection

often involve high speeds and serious injuries, but the helicopter wasn’t utilized. He said it’s likely the injuries were non-life threatening.

Cook was driving a Nissan Sentra south into Newton when a Chevy Silverado pickup driven by Chad M. Ray, 46, of Newton, pulled into her path.

She struck the driver’s side rear section of the pickup, and her vehicle is likely totaled.

Ray was cited for failing to yield. No word was available on Cook’s condition at presstime.

“It was sporadic,” Grams said.

“But there were definitely a few busy times.”

Wide awake, dreaming D

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

uring my college years, I became friends with a girl who grew up with five brothers and sisters.

At that time, two of her siblings were still in high school and everyone else had left home but remained very close knit. Because I grew up with just one older brother I was kind of fascinated by this large and loud family. My friend’s mother, in every sense the matriarch and glue of the family, was particularly intriguing to me.

I discovered she was a compulsive night owl, having adhered to years of enjoying “her time” when lights were out and children were asleep. Much of that time was spent reading novels or watching television with occasional motherly duties, like folding laundry, slipping in from time to time. While I

have always trended to being more of a night person, this particular practice of securing personal time in the evening hours made an impression and was fully realized when I became a mother.

However, the busier I am, the more social media I indulge in, the more Netflix I try to jam into “my time,” the more elusive sleep has become.

I’ve been tracking/obsessing about my sleep habits for about two years. My Fitbit, which I wear around the clock, not only tells me how much exercise I get it also tells me how much time I spend asleep. Further, it monitors sleep quality, including how much time I spend restless or awake, and as I’ve noticed, how many times I wake up due to a snoring husband. I typically av-

erage between six and seven hours of sleep per night, which doesn’t seem like enough. Coffee often completes me.

When Apple rolled out its iOS10 it added a “bedtime” feature to the clock app. I’ve used it a handful of times, and it’s pretty great. You simply set the clock for your desired wake-up time and it in turn sends you an alert when you should go to bed and sounds a peaceful alarm when it’s time to rise and shine. It also works in conjunction with Apple’s Health app to monitor sleep quality.

Even with technology and the ability to better understand sleep habits, I’ve long struggled with actually falling asleep and also waking up in the middle of the night, or hours before an alarm should sound. While there are dozens of sleep aid products, a melatonin supplement has helped me drift off to sleep. It hasn’t, however, kept me from waking up at annoying times during the night.

I’m a Type A personality so it’s hard

for me to relax. I’m unable to take it easy for too long, let alone nap. If I am worried about something, make a mistake or I’m just stressed out, I tend to wake with a jolt at odd hours.

It’s during these sleepless hours I am wide awake and dreaming of things I need to accomplish — projects at work, friends I need to call, bills that need to be paid, closets that need to be organized. There’s also plenty of time for big picture type of things — what are my aspirations? How am I helping shape our kids’ lives? How can I do more to make a difference? What will be my legacy?

Habits and routines are formed over a lifetime. My dilemma will continue to be my nocturnal indulgences that I share with my friend’s mother, and the occasional times dwelling turns into sleeplessness. At least there’s technology to help me celebrate those times I’m not wide awake and dreaming.

Eye on America John Stossel

Thanksgiving tragedy As you celebrated the meal the Pilgrims ate with Indians, I hope you paused a moment to thank private property.

I know that seems weird, but before that first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims nearly starved to death because they didn’t respect private property.

When they first arrived in Massachusetts, they acted like Bernie Sanders wants us to act. They farmed “collectively.” Pilgrims said, “We’ll grow food together and divide the harvest equally.”

Bad idea. Economists call this the “tragedy of the commons.” When everyone works “together,” some people don’t work very hard.

Likewise, when the crops were ready to eat, some grabbed extra food — sometimes picking corn at night, before it was fully ready. Teenagers were especially lazy and likely to steal the commune’s crops.

Pilgrims almost starved. Governor Bradford wrote in his diary, “So they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could ... that they might not still thus languish in misery.”

His answer: He divided the commune into parcels and assigned each Pilgrim his own property, or as Bradford put it, “set corn every man for his own particular. ... Assigned every family a parcel of land.”

That simple change brought the Pilgrims so much plenty that they could share food with Indians. Bradford wrote that it “made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.”

We see this principle at work all around us today. America is prosperous because private property is mostly respected, and people work hard to protect what they own. China rose out of poverty only when the Communist rulers finally allowed people to own property and keep profits from it.

But wait, you say, didn’t the Native Americans live communally? Isn’t that proof that socialism and collective property work?

No. It’s a myth that the Native Americans had no property rules. They had property — and European settlers should have treated those rules with respect.

Native American property rules varied. There wasn’t much point trying to establish private property in rocky hinterlands where no one traveled.

But, writes Terry Anderson of the Property and Environment Research Center, “Private garden plots were common in the East, as were large community fields with plots assigned to individual families.

Harvesting on each plot was done by the owning family, with the bounty stored in the family’s own storehouse.”

Today, however, many American Indians live in poverty. It’s not because Native Americans are lazy or irresponsible. When Indians are allowed to own their own land, they prosper. The laws of economics are the same for all people.

I asked Manny Jules, chief of the Kamloops Indian Band for 16 years, why so many Indians are poor.

“Nobody chooses poverty,” he said. “We’ve been legislated out of the economy by the federal governments, both in the United States and Canada.”

That sounds odd to people who know how much money governments spend to “care for” Indians.

“Well, by taking care of us, that means providing social welfare programs,” says Jules. “The only way to break the cycle of poverty (is) real property rights.”

The U.S. government, after killing thousands of Native Americans and restricting others to reservations, gave tribal governments control over Indians’ lives, in collaboration with the government’s Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Since then, no group in America has been more “helped” and “managed” by the federal government than Indians. Because of that, no group has done worse.

Lessons learned in Newton Even though I graduated years ago, I still sometimes think about the lessons I learned from growing up in Newton. I had some subjects I liked and was good at, such as history. This subject became my major at the University of Iowa. My worst subjects?

Speech and drivers ed. I convinced myself that I wasn’t good at public speaking. And with drivers ed, I had to retake it in the summer. I also struggled in a writing class, where the teacher said “you can do better.”

But then what happened? I ended up delivering pizza for Pizza Hut in Newton for one summer after my first year of college. And I retain a sterling driving record. After I moved to the Twin Cities more than a decade ago, I started taking writing classes and now I write a blog.

I do stand-up comedy as well.

Who could have predicted all of this, after the slow starts I had?

What I found out is that I could teach myself all of these subjects.

When one is in school, it usually has to be done the school’s way, the teacher’s way. But it is not a “one size fits all” world. “I did it my way” is not just a Frank Sina-

tra song. This is the philosophy that is usually needed to succeed in life. Now I really love driving, writing and public speaking. I found answers in writing and public speaking when I couldn’t find them in other places, and I like how I have made plenty of friends from performing.

As the saying goes, it’s not how you begin, but how you finish. And I know, even at my age, the best is yet to come for me.

For the young ones, I say do your best to find those who believe in your talents, and be thankful for those that encourage you.

Unworkable living arrangement weighs heavily on young man DEAR ABBY: Earlier this year I moved away from home to move in with my boyfriend. We had been dating for more than a year and were close enough we could see each other whenever our schedules allowed. However, over the last few months I have been second-guessing that decision. I’m noticing things that I realize won’t work.

To make matters more complicated, I met a girl who quickly became a good friend three months ago. She has inspired — and in some ways pushed — me to go back to college and improve my life. I find myself falling for her. The thing is, she just started dating someone, and I would never betray my partner by being unfaithful.

I don’t know what to do. I can see my relationship with my boyfriend is not going to work out, and I know I’m not going to violate my female friend’s relationship either. How does someone end a relationship when they live together? And how do I deal with the fear that I’ll be miserable being on my own again, and the guilt of breaking my partner’s heart? — MIXED-UP GUY IN THE MIDWEST DEAR MIXED-UP GUY: The first thing you need to do is recognize that being unencumbered can be a positive thing, particularly if you are not happy or satisfied with the relationship you are in. The adage “When a door closes, another one opens” is usually true.

Start looking around for alternative living arrangements, and when you find something that will work for you, explain to your boyfriend that you need to “make some changes.” It’s better for both of you than living a lie.

As to your relationship with the young woman, whether she stays with the person she’s dating is something neither of us can predict. When you are single, she may become available. Or, you may meet someone else and start a relationship. Don’t be afraid. These are the things that make life interesting.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and

I have been together six years. This Christmas will be our second year as a married couple. On Christmas morning, my husband goes over to his parents’ house to open gifts with his siblings. They are all adults; the oldest two are almost 40. (Both are single.) I’m not invited and have never been invited to their home, despite living five minutes away, because his mother is a hoarder.

We are expecting our first child in April. My husband works in law enforcement and is typically not off the entire day on Christmas. He calls me selfish and accuses me of trying to ruin their family tradition when I tell him this needs to end. I do not appreciate my husband taking off on me for four hours every Christmas morning. I want us to start our own traditions. Am I wrong? — WANTS OUR OWN TRADITIONS DEAR WANTS: Be thankful you have never been invited to your MIL’s home because from your description, the experience wouldn’t be pleasant.

Since you and your husband are starting a family now, I see nothing wrong with wanting to start some traditions of your own. However, it doesn’t have to be an either/or situation. A way to do that without causing WWIII would be to suggest alternating the Christmas mornings he spends at his parents’ house, or schedule your gift exchange for a time when your husband can be with you. Once the baby arrives, holiday plans are bound to change.

‘gravel surfing,’ family says

BURLINGTON — Relatives say an 18-year-old died after falling under a car he was holding onto while it was traveling down a gravel road on the southwest side of Burlington.

Clayton Connelly was injured around 1 a.m. Thursday. He was taken by private vehicle to a West Burlington hospital and then transferred to an Iowa City hospital.

The Des Moines County Sheriff ’s Office says he died there. He’d lived in Burlington.

ing of town’s parks director

ASBURY — The firing of Asbury’s parks director is being questioned by board members who oversaw his work.

Parks board member Ken Resch says the firing of Jason Thieme last Wednesday was a surprise.

Resch says he was extremely satisfied with Thieme’s work, so he sent a letter to the mayor and city council expressing his frustration.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Council Bluffs officials are trying to determine how far invasive zebra mussels have spread from one of the basins where the city draws drinking water from. The mussels were found during maintenance this fall, but it’s not clear if they have begun to colonize and clog the pipes leading into the city’s water treatment plant. Water Works CEO and General Manager Doug Drummey says the zebra mussels don’t threaten water quality, but they can require costly repairs to clear pipes.

Mayor Doug Faas said riprap — large boulders — on the shoreline had become overgrown with trees, making the shoreline inaccessible to most people and unsafe for anglers trying to negotiate the area. The trees have been cleared away and many of the larger boulders pushed into the water for fish habitat.

In honor of the fallen

NCSD Board to discuss early retirement possibilities

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A relay group called “The Things They Carry,” aimed at promoting awareness of military veteran suicide, marched from Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. to Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City last week, leading up to the Iowa v. Nebraska football game. Everyone in the group carried at least 22 pounds in honor of the average of 22 veterans who take their lives each day. Most of the relay that walked through Jasper County on Wednesday was from Iowa City. On the right, carrying the football, is Chad Schilling of Newton, who serves in the Iowa National Guard.

Sioux City Class teaches art of spinning records SIOUX CITY (AP) — You may not know Homero Mendoza by name but he said he’ll soon be joining the ranks of Puff Daddy and Jay Z. That is if the North Middle School eighth-grader is able to keep his grades up.

“Schoolwork comes first,” Homero, 13, said. “My DJ class comes in second, I guess.”

Homero is one of the students enrolled in a Sioux City Conservatory of Music class taught by Brandon Young, who goes by the stage name of “D.J. Skribe.”

A professional disc jockey for more than half of his life, Young, 37, originally began scratching records as way to stay out of trouble.

“When a lot of my friends were joining gangs, I was getting into music,” said Young, who grew up in Sioux City before moving to Mesa, Arizona.

“Music saved my life.”

This is why he began teaching a Friday night DJ class at the music conservatory in September.

“I wanted to show kids they can lead

any life they want to live,” said Young, who is also a Western Iowa Tech Community College audio engineering student. “That’s important to me.”

Young and his students will be among the performers on the Orpheum Theatre stage during a special fundraising concert at 7 p.m. Saturday.

The nonprofit Conservatory, located at 1309 Pierce St., currently hosts 62 students with free lessons. According to co-founder Gia Emory, organizers would like to increase that number to 100 students by January.

This is fine by Homero, who is learning how to play piano in addition to his DJ class at the Conservatory.

“Taking lessons from (Young) is pretty cool,” Homero said. “He says ‘stay on the beat.’ Otherwise, your scratching will sound terrible.”

Even though he likes pop music and R&B, Homero said such old-school hip-hop acts as Sugar Hill Gang, RunD.M.C. and Beastie Boys are his major influences.

Young can’t help but smile after discovering his student’s favorite acts.

Consideration of an early retirement program is one of the few action items on the agenda for Monday’s Newton Community School District Board of Education meeting.

Monday’s meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. in the EJH Beard Administrative Center board room.

Early retirement, if any teachers or other longtime faculty decide to utilize it, is generally a cost-cutting measure for a company or organization. It allows some of the longest-tenured employees the freedom to leave with full retirement benefits intact, while also allowing the organization to either eliminate a position or reduce staffing levels or hire a less-experienced replacement at a lower

pay rate.

Many other Iowa school districts are discussing similar programs. At last week’s Colfax-Mingo Board of Education meeting, board members were surprised to hear another mention of a program that they had shot down about a year ago, but a recent budget work session had come up with very limited ways to cut expenses, including early retirement.

Other items on Monday’s agenda include both discussion and action regarding the procedure for the opening and consideration of sealed bids.

Director of Special Programs Tina Ross, along with NCSD Board Vice President Robyn Friedman and board member Ann Leonard, will lead a discussion.

The topic will be special education student services, staffing and funding.

There will also be a presentation on STEM innovation from Karla Cazett and Jodi Morgan-Peters of the STEM committee.

An attendance-percentage report is also slated. The consent agenda includes a fundraiser request from Newton High School’s Family and Consumer Science Department, which plans to use old uniforms to help create and stuff pillows to be sold.

Prior to Monday’s meeting, a 5:30 p.m. work session is scheduled to discuss Board Goal No. 2, related to parent engagement.

Muscatine County forced to remove dying courthouse trees MUSCATINE (AP) — The landscape around the Muscatine County Courthouse will change when nine large ash trees are removed because of damage caused by the emerald ash borer.

County officials decided to remove the trees after they were inspected by an expert with the state Department of Natural Resources because they could be a safety hazard, The Muscatine Journal reported.

Damage caused by the beetle kills the trees and

will leave the limbs brittle and ready to fall.

County budget administrator Sherry Seright said initially the county had planned to remove only four trees, but the insect had spread to the others.

“It’s worse than we realized,” she said.

The affected trees will be removed before winter and officials will start looking at what kind of trees should be planted in their place beginning next spring.

“It really is sad that all

these trees have to go,” said Matt Bonebrake, who is on the county Board of Supervisors.

Emma Hanigan, a DNR urban forestry coordinator, will help local officials decide what to plant next. Having a variety of different kinds of trees will help protect the landscape from future pests, she said.

“We don’t know what the next invasive pest is so the more diversity you have the better off you are when facing future threats,” she said.

The pot train could still go off the tracks, and here’s how DENVER (AP) — Weed is winning in the polls, with a solid majority of Americans saying marijuana should be legal. But does that mean the federal government will let dozens of state pot experiments play out?

Not by a long shot.

The government still has many means to slow or stop the marijuana train. And President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions to be the next attorney general has raised fears that the new administration could crack down on weed-tolerant states 20 years after California became the first to legalize medical marijuana.

“We need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized. It ought not to be minimized, that it’s in fact a very real danger,” Sessions said during an April Senate hearing.

The Controlled Substances Act bans pot even for medical purposes. A closer look at some of the government’s options for enforcing it: TAKE ‘EM TO COURT: The government rarely invokes its authority to sue states, but it’s the quickest path to compliance. The Justice Department could file lawsuits on the grounds that state laws regulating pot are unconstitutional because they are pre-empted by federal law.

Something similar happened in 2010, when the Justice Department

successfully sued Arizona to block an immigration law that conflicted with federal immigration law.

Federal courts can also compel action, not just block it, as in Kentucky last year, when a county clerk was ordered to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples following a landmark Supreme Court ruling.

Twenty-eight states and Washington, D.C., allow marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. The government has yet to sue any of them.

RAID POT BUSINESSES: The government could avoid court entirely if it doesn’t mind a more expensive option: law-enforcement raids.

The Drug Enforcement Administration retains the legal ability to shut down anyone selling or growing pot, but there has been no coordinated

federal attempt to close pot producers in multiple states. The agency has said repeatedly that it does not have the resources to pursue ordinary pot users.

Any change in that approach would likely require more money from Congress, which just saw many of its constituents vote in favor of legalization. And a federal agency probably will not spend limited resources busting people growing pot for personal use, said John McKay, a former U.S. attorney in Washington state.

“Who is going to stop people from smoking pot in a residence in Denver?

Federal agents?” he said.

“They are going to stop doing terrorism investigations and start arresting people for pot? That, to me, is crazy.”

Still, a series of raids

could upend the marijuana landscape and chill investment in the fledgling industry.

FINANCIAL HURDLES: It’s the biggest complaint in the weed business: taxes.

Businesses selling marijuana cannot use tax breaks or incentives offered to other small businesses, and some of them say they pay 80 percent or more of every dollar on taxes and fees. They have limited access to banking because many financial institutions are leery of the paperwork they are required to file on clients working with marijuana.

Colorado officials tried last year to ease the banking burden by setting up a special credit union to safely handle pot-shops money, only to see the Federal Reserve Bank and federal courts block the effort.

Nebraska looks into allegation of racial slurs

Iowa gives Nebraska Black Friday black eye

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News IOWA CITY ­— With 2:56 to go in the third quarter, the 17th-ranked Nebraska football team held a 16-7 advantage in first downs against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Unfortunately for the Huskers, they didn’t have an advantage in many other statistical categories.

Iowa made another big statement in front of its home fans on Black Friday after rushing for 264 yards during a 40-

10 victory in the annual Heroes Game on Senior Day at Kinnick Stadium.

The Hawkeyes only had six first downs in the first two quarters, but that was mainly because of a surprising big-play offense.

Junior Akrum Wadley got the scoring started with a 75-yard touchdown run and then senior Riley McCarron followed that with a career-best 77-yard TD reception. It was just the start of what turned out IOWA | 2B

IOWA CITY (AP) — The Nebraska Athletic Department says it is conducting an investigation into an allegation that a Nebraska football player slung racial slurs at an Iowa football player as the Big Ten rivals played in Iowa City on Friday.

Iowa defensive tackle Faith Ekakitie said he was the target of racial slurs from a Nebraska offensive lineman whom Ekakitie declined to name during postgame

interviews Friday evening, the Des Moines Register reported.

ISU football ends Campbell’s first season with 30-point loss AMES (AP) — West Virginia could’ve packed it in after its Big 12 title hopes crashed last week.

The Mountaineers, bolstered by freshman Martell Pettaway and a sensational afternoon from quarterback Skyler Howard, made sure that didn’t happen.

Howard threw for 330 yards and tied a career high with five touchdowns and No. 19 West Virginia rolled past Iowa State 49-19 on Saturday.

Pettaway burned his redshirt and ran for 181 yards in his debut for

the Mountaineers (92, 6-2 Big 12), who outscored Iowa State 28-3 in the second half.

“There have been three or four times where we’ve been real close to putting him in,” West Virginia Howard coach Dana Holgorsen said of Pettaway, who had 30 carries. “He was ready.

No. 9 Xavier dominates in win over Panthers CINCINNATI (AP) — The rematch was no match at all. Xavier’s defense made sure of it.

J.P. Macura scored 18 points, and Xavier’s defense dug in during a dominant first half, sending the ninthranked Musketeers to a 64-42 victory over Northern Iowa men’s basketball on Saturday.

Xavier (6-0) controlled a matchup of teams playing for the second time in six days.

The Musketeers beat Northern Iowa 67-59 in the championship game of the Tire Pros Invitational last Sunday.

This time, it was no contest. Xavier knew exactly what to expect the second time around.

The Musketeers led 35-12 at halftime, the fewest points they had allowed in any half for 34 years.

Jeremy Morgan scored 14 points for Northern Iowa.

The Panthers had made at least 10 3-pointers in each of their first four games this season.

They were only 6-of-18 in the rematch.

Jok’s 42 not enough, Iowa men lose to Memphis NICEVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Iowa’s Peter Jok won a personal scoring duel with a career high 42 points while Memphis’ Dedric Lawson put up 35, but Lawson’s Tigers carried the day in a back-and-forth contest for third place in the Emerald Coast Classic.

Jeremiah Martin pitched in with 14 points and hit a pair of 3-pointers that brought Memphis from behind and put the Tigers ahead to stay Saturday for a 100-92 win in the consolation game.

The game featured three ties and 15 lead changes before Martin’s two long-distance

shots put the Tigers (5-1) up for good after trailing Iowa (33) by a point early in the second half.

K.J. Lawson had 17 points, Markel Crawford scored 16 and Craig Randall II added 15 points for Memphis.

“Shout out to Iowa and Peter Jok,” Dedric Lawson said.

“He was a phenomenal player for them tonight. I just wanted

Iowa Continued from Page 1B to be a memorable night for the home team.

And the seniors led the way.

LeShun Daniels went beyond the 1,000-yard mark with 158 rushing yards, C.J. Beathard threw for 144 yards and three scores and McCarron grabbed five passes for a career-high 108 yards.

Senior George Kittle also returned to the lineup and both of his catches went for TDs. “I think what showed up tonight, we played great complementary team football,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “The defense has played strong three weeks in a row.

Offensively, we had the big play early in the game, came up with several big plays, and then as the game went on, we really took control of the game.”

For Iowa, it was the first home win over Nebraska since 1981.

That was Ferentz’s first season as a Hawkeye assistant coach.

Iowa has won three out of the last four against Nebraska.

“We played as good as we have all year today. Every phase of the game was strong,” said Beathard, who moved into a tie with Matt Rodgers and Drew Tate for third all-time at Iowa with his 21st win as the starting quarterback.

The first quarter took 53 minutes. Iowa’s two longest plays of the season gave it a 13-0 advantage.

Nebraska got a 35-yard field goal from Drew Brown to cut the deficit to 10, but Iowa led 20-3 at halftime following a 4-yard TD run by Daniels. That score was set up by Daniels’ 56-yard burst.

Daniels reached paydirt after cutting inside off a pulling block from his younger brother James Daniels.

“It’s definitely something we can share together for the rest of our lives,” LeShun Daniels said about playing his final season with his brother as the starting center. “The offensive line, and my brother, have done a fantastic job all year long.”

The Hawkeyes, who are 7-1 in trophy games the last two seasons, led the last Heroes Game in Iowa City 10-7 at halftime and 24-14 after three quarters, but the Huskers rallied for an overtime win.

There was no chance for a comeback this time around. Iowa held Nebraska (9-3 overall, 6-3 in the

to get the win at the end of the day because we lost yesterday. I wanted to go home 1-1.”

Jok, the Big 10 Conference’s scoring leader, rebounded after No. 7 Virginia, which boasts the nation’s top scoring defense, held him to only 13 points in Friday’s 74-41 semifinal loss. Jok was averaging 24.3 points per game going into Saturday’s contest. Tyler Cook was the only other Hawkeye scoring in double figures with 17.

“It’s a shame when you have a guy play that well that you can’t ride that to victory,” Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said.

Big Ten Conference) to 217 total yards. The Cornhuskers rushed for only 90 yards.

“The guys were talking about that game from two years ago in the locker room at halftime,” Ferentz said. “The only thing I told them was that was a long time ago.”

Kittle’s first TD came on Iowa’s opening drive of the third quarter.

After a 44-yard punt return by senior Desmond King and a 15-yard personal foul penalty, Iowa started on the Nebraska 13-yard line. Kittle’s grab came on third down from 1-yard out. A failed two-point conversion made it 26-3.

The Cornhuskers’ only TD scoring drive of the game trimmed their deficit to 16. Nebraska went 75 yards in 14 plays, and Tommy Armstrong capped it with a 13-yard TD pass to Stanley Morgan.

That was all they would get though as Iowa outscored Nebraska 13-0 in the fourth. The Cornhuskers came into the game with a plus-88 point differential in the final period, which ranked first in the nation.

Neither team committed a turnover and both Iowa and Nebraska were perfect in the red zone. The Cornhuskers were 5-of-18 on third down, averaged 2.9 yards per carry and Armstrong was only 13-of-35 through the air for 125 yards.

“That certainly was very disappointing,” Nebraska coach Mike Riley said. “It was obvious what happened. We allowed too many big plays, we couldn’t sustain anything early and we lost all the plays on special teams. There wasn’t any phase of the game that went our way.”

Daniels finished off the win with a 1-yard TD run with 8:10 to go in the game. Daniels became the first Hawkeye to rush for more than 1,000 yards since Marcus Coker did it in 2011.

Wadley added 105 rushing yards to the Hawkeyes’ banner offensive day. He averaged 9.5 yards per carry and is 34 yards away from 1,000 yards himself.

Daniels and Wadley have the most combined rushing yards of any Iowa duo in program history.

The Hawkeyes hit rock bottom after losing 41-14 to Penn State on Nov. 5. They turned around their season with wins over then No. 3 Michigan, Illinois and then No. 17 Nebraska. The win over the Cornhuskers may have been the most impressive.

“This just shows the fight and the toughness that this team has,” Beathard said. “We got knocked in the mouth against Penn State, but we were able to fight back and put together three really good games.

That says a lot about this team.”

After allowing 42 points and more than 600 yards to Penn State, the Iowa defense shut the door on Michigan, Illinois and Nebraska.

The unit, led by King and junior linebacker Josey Jewell, only allowed 23 points and 616 yards while finishing the season with three straight wins. Jewell and junior Bo Bower each had nine tackles to lead Iowa on Friday.

Iowa (8-4, 6-3) now awaits its destination for another bowl game under Ferentz. The Hawkeye head man has 82 Big Ten wins, which ranks fifth among the all-time winningest coaches in Big Ten games.

“It’s been a really good month of November for our football team,” Ferentz said. “I am extremely proud of them, extremely happy for them.

They earned it.”

“Obviously a better effort than yesterday, but (giving up) 54 points in the paint is not a recipe for success.”

Each team had a big run in the first half. Memphis opened a 12-point lead, the largest advantage for either team, with a 14-2 run that began with Crawford’s 3-pointer to break a 7-all tie. Iowa immediately responded with a 16-4 run to tie the game at 25-all.

Dedric Lawson’s jumper put Memphis back in the lead.

Burton missed a 3-pointer with Iowa State down 72-71 with 17 seconds remaining. The game ended when Morris’ shot that came after the buzzer rimmed out.

Gonzaga had a foul to give and took it with five seconds left, which forced an in-bound pass from Iowa State.

“They made a good decision,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. “I thought we could still execute it. The one thing I kick myself about is not having a second action after the initial play.”

Iowa State used full-court pressure to key a 15-0 run that got the Cyclones to 58-55 seven minutes into the second half. Burton had 11 points over the stretch.

“Everything was clicking for everyone,” Burton said. “It was our defense that really helped us. Our defense made our offense.”

Williams-Goss ended the Iowa State surge with a 3-pointer.

Williams-Goss had 12 points and Karnowski chipped in with 10 as Gonzaga shot 64.5 percent (20 for 31) in taking a 49-34 halftime lead.

Cyclones Continued from Page 1B He’s a smart kid. He looked good too.”

Howard’s 71-yard TD toss to Shelton Gibson and Pettaway’s 4-yard touchdown run, the first of his career, made it 35-19 late in the third quarter.

Justin Crawford, who ran for 331 yards against Oklahoma last week, was injured and replaced by Pettaway after two series. Crawford got “bumped in the knee” according to WVU running backs coach Ja’Juan Seider. He is expected to play next week.

Kene Nwangwu had a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and Cole Netten kicked four field goals to lead Iowa State (3-9, 2-7). But settling for three instead of converting for seven points — and losing the turnover battle 4-0 — killed the Cyclones chances.

Jacob Park threw for 371 yards and David Montgomery ran for 141 yards for Iowa State, which saw its two-game winning streak snapped.

“Our inconsistency ... you turn the ball over four times inside the 50-yard line against a team like that, it’s going to prohibit you from having great success,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.

Nebraska Continued from Page 1B conduct of any kind, at any time, by anyone associated with our athletics program,” the statement said.

An Iowa team spokesman said Saturday that Hawkeye officials had no comment on Ekakitie’s assertion.

The 6-foot-3, 290-pound Ekakitie is a native of Brampton, Ontario, and went to high school in Lake Forest, Illinois. He finished with five tackles in Iowa’s 40-10 win over Nebraska.

Ekakitie said it was the first time he had been targeted by racial slurs while playing.

“Anyone that is willing to openly go out of their way and throw that around — even in a competitive environment — I think you’re a piece of trash,” he said.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 28). You’ll listen to intuition and follow your instincts, which, over the next three months, will reward you in both material and immaterial ways. What you pay forward will change someone’s life in January. April will give you relief from what’s been a long process. June and July bring the romance. Aquarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 40, 2, 22 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

If you’re not into it, don’t do it. If you have to do it, then try to change the way you think about it. Make it about the ac-

tion, not about the outcome the action will bring to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Get what you want from a place, and then get out. This is how your gypsy spirit will find satisfaction. Keep it moving along; this is freedom -- or something like it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’d like to believe that there are a “wise few,” yet the group often gets together and behaves otherwise. Real leadership is needed here. Are you up to it?

beautiful. This is why you should beware of anything that crosses your path today that falls into the “captivating, seductive and/or beautiful” category.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Mark Twain’s advice was to eat what you like and let the food fight it out on the inside. However, today, good digestion will be a secret key to your success.

Don’t leave it to chance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

It’s mighty fine when the game is good enough on its own, but that won’t always be the case.

When it’s not, you have to be the fun. What you bring to the table will make the intolerable thing tolerable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your ability to suspend disbelief helps you enjoy stories that are crafted for your entertainment. But when the story is supposed to be true, no good can come from ignoring the glaring discrepancies. Get to the bottom of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll learn from a failed test. It’s better to fail early and cheaply. Don’t be afraid to mess it up in order to see the boundaries of what you’re dealing with. You’ll apply that learning to create a winning strategy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What is making it hard for you to deliver the result you and the others expect? The

answer to this simple question, applied well, could lift your mood by 10 points.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll seldom find meaning in a cake, unless it’s the pink and green cake that’s melting in the rain in MacArthur Park. Meaning is, after all, usually readily found in annoying and unsatisfactory things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Life gets bigger when you’re braver and constricts with fear.

Life on the small scale is no better than an outsize life; it’s just a matter of personal preference. Just be sure that you’re choosing it and not merely reacting to it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Gather more information and put off judgment for as long as possible. Maybe this one is not up to you to figure out, and in that case, you’re free to apply yourself in better places.
