Brisk night ushers in 81st courthouse lighting

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With kids in stocking caps and mittens and couples walking hand in hand down the sidewalk, the Newton community came out in full force Friday for the 81st annual Courthouse Lighting.

Having the honor of flipping the switch to turn on the lights this year was longtime community member Ardis Morgan.

“That makes my year,” Morgan said. “It is really an honor.”

Kicking off the evening was the chili cook-off sponsored by the Newton Chamber of Commerce along with several local groups handing out hot chocolate, popcorn and apple cider.

Also a popular attraction was the carriage rides provided by Plume Ridge, which made more than a few trips around the square. With greenery on the carriage and jingle bells adorning the horses, holiday spirit was in the air.

Although the turnout for the chili cook off was lower this year, those who did participate, including Bruce and Bev Curtis, were excited to be there.

“We just wanted to do something nice for the community,” Bev Curtis said. “We were raised here and were then gone for 25 years. We came back home and always looked forward to the lighting when we were growing up. It’s a wonderful thing.”

With a countdown from 10, the lights were turned on and the holiday season was officially underway. Santa made his way to the courthouse in a fire truck where he heard Christmas wishes from eager children who were enjoying the event-filled evening.

Dozens of decorated Christmas trees filled the courthouse as a part of the Jasper County 4-H Festival of Trees. In its 10th year, trees had multiple themes including supporting local nonprofit organizations such as the Centre for Art & Artists. Trees support-

Reasnor man arrested on sexual abuse charges

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Reasnor man was charged with second-degree sexual abuse on Tuesday.

John D. Veenstra, 52, was arrested on three counts of second-degree sexual abuse by the Pella Police Department after the conclusion of an investigation.

The department had been investigating a series of sex related crimes that occurred in Pella over a three year period. The crimes involved a single victim.

Following the conclusion of the investigation, Veenstra was charged with the crime.

He was taken to the Marion County Jail where he was awaiting his initial appearance.

Three counts of second-degree sexual abuse is a class B felony that carries a period of confinement of up to 25 years.

ing the Jasper County Rescue League and area food pantries will be on display at the courthouse until Dec. 28.

“We had a great turnout for the holiday festival and courthouse lighting. Many local businesses and community members worked together to bring the festival to Newton,” Festival Chair Vicki Wade said.

“It’s just that time of the year where we are really excited about flipping the switch,” organizer Steve Knight said.

Knight said one change that occurred last year was a change from standard lights to a LED version. The cost savings were felt immediately with yearly charges dropping from about $500 down to $50.

“The neat thing about our courthouse now is we switched to LED last year and went from 448 amps down to 45 amps,” Knight said.

Local pastor speaks up for refugees at state capitol Letter of support for Syrian refugees delivered to Gov. Branstad

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Following the attacks in Paris and Gov. Terry Branstad’s announcing his intentions to block Syrian refugees from settling in Iowa, a group of Iowa clergy submitted a letter to Branstad’s office condemning what they call discrimination “against refugees on the basis of religion.”

Among those who participated at the capital on Nov. 23 was the Rev. Jessica Petersen of the Congregational United Church of

Christ in Newton.

“I saw a petition calling for clergy to voice their concerns on their reaction to what a lot of politicians were having to recent events Paris and Beirut, in regard to allowing Syrian refugees into our state and into our nation,” Petersen said. “Having received that I said, yes, most definitely, I think we should welcome Syrian refugees and not discriminate based on their religious tradition and not be afraid they are going to be terrorists that are coming through.”

From there, she was

contacted by Faith in Public Life about the event at the state capital to present the letter, which had been signed by more than 2,100 clergy members nation-wide with approximately 70 signatures from Iowa. Faith in Public Life, an organization based out of Washington D.C., is leading efforts throughout the country.

Portions of the letter state: • We thus reject proposals by two dozen United States governors to close their states’ doors to Syrian refugees fleeing

the unspeakable cruelty of ISIS and the Assad regime. We also condemn in the strongest terms proposals to discriminate against refugees on the basis of religion.

• Our elected officials have a responsibility to protect the nation, but turning away families who risk their lives to escape the destruction of war is unnecessary and wrong. America can prevent attacks without turning our backs on desperate refugees.

Cyber Monday sales still on top, but losing some luster NEW YORK (AP) — Retailers are rolling out online deals on so-called “Cyber Monday.” But now that shoppers are online all the time anyway, the 10-year-old shopping holiday is losing some of its luster.

Still, Monday is expected to be the biggest online shopping day ever, with estimates that it will rack up over $3 billion in sales.

“It’s no longer about one day, but a season of digital deals,” said Matthew Shay, president of retail trade group The National Retail Federation.

Online shopping is taking its toll on brick-and-mortar shopping. Frenzied crowds seemed to be a thing of

the past on Black Friday — the busy shopping day after Thanksgiving — and sales fell to $10.4 billion this year, down from $11.6 billion in 2014, according to preliminary figures from research firm ShopperTrak.

But as online shopping grows more popular on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, that’s causing less of a frenzy on Cyber Monday, too.

“Consumers are recognizing the Internet is the place to go for a deal any time, any day,” said Gene Alvarez, managing vice president of research firm Gartner.

Retailers have been touting online deals since the beginning of No-

vember. And they no longer wait for Monday to roll out Cyber Monday deals, either. Amazon started “Lighting Deals” on Saturday and Wal-Mart beginning all of its Cyber offers on 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Amazon was offering 65 percent off sweaters, Target was touting 15 percent off its whole site for the first time and Wal-Mart offered $500 off a $1,200 LG 65-inch 4K Ultra HDTV. “I personally skip Black Friday just to shop Cyber Monday,” said Mark Flores, a parks and recreation director from Lynwood, California. He was looking online Monday for tablets for his nephews, nieces and grandparents,

leather goods and gift certificates, plus shoes for himself on Amazon, department store sites and the Groupon App. He said he was looking for deals “that are greater than normal sale prices and coupons.”

Research firm Comscore expects online sales to rise 14 percent to $70.06 billion during the November and December shopping period, slowing slightly from last year’s 15 percent rise. Online sales make up 10 percent of overall retail sales, but that increases to 15 percent during the holidays as online shoppers snap up Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, according to research firm Forrester.

In Brief Local Hy-Vee employees honored for service

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Farmer’s Wife was one of a number of local businesses who participated in the Shop Small promotion sponsored by Newton Main Street. The promotion, which runs through Dec. 8, hopes to encourage community members to shop local by offering coupons upon purchase.

Shop Small a success for local businesses

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News It may have started slow, but the Small Business Saturday was a success for local Newton businesses. For the second year, businesses teamed up with Newton Main Street for a Shop Small event, hoping to keep more people shopping in town during the holiday season.

“It’s getting busy,” Relic’s owner Laurie Nelson said.

Mattingly Music & Books also started to pick up as the noon hour came. The music and entertainment store had items up for raffle including a guitar and keyboard. Although more people were starting to walk through the door, owner Paul Mattingly said it was too soon to tell how the day was going to go.

Participating in the Shop Small promotion, Choices Chris-

tian Book Store had a good, steady crowd make their way through, and had given out several coupons for customers to use upon their return.

Also having a productive day were the Farmer’s Wife and Silverado Jewelry. Both had increased numbers the entire day, starting from the time they opened. Beckman Gallery reported a strong turn out for small business Saturday.

“It’s been good today,” the Farmer’s Wife owner Bonnie Terpstra said. “The turnout today has been good.”

Terpstra is participating in the shop small event and said although customers may not know the event is taking place, she has a good return from those who receive the coupons.

“We do get a lot of the vouchers back, it does help with getting return customers,” Terpstra said.

I have worked for the Newton Daily News for over 11 years. I enjoy the fact that we are like a family here. I like that my job consists of so many different tasks. There is always something different going on, and I enjoy the challenge.

Following the same format as last year, customers received coupons for purchases made starting Saturday through Dec. 8. Customers can then redeem the coupons at the same store between Dec. 9 and Dec. 24.

Businesses had the option of issuing coupons at two different levels: a $5 coupon for every $25 spent, or $1 for every $10 spent.

Businesses could also place additional restrictions on the coupons.

Vernon receives ASI Power 50 recognition Newton Daily News Chris Vernon, president and co-CEO of The Vernon Company, was recently recognized among the Counselor’s Power 50, the annual ranking of the most powerful executives in the promotional products industry.

Vernon moves up three spots to 40th on the Power 50, marking the tenth consecutive year he has made this prestigious list. Vernon is the only Iowan ever to be recognized in the ASI Power 50 rankings.

The ranking is determined by a panel of editorial experts at ASI’s Vernon Counselor magazine, “the voice of the industry,” and is based on factors such as nominees’ achievements, industry leadership and health/growth of their companies.

“It is truly an honor to be recognized among so many of my industry peers,” Vernon said. “I consider myself lucky to work alongside a highly engaged and customer-centric team here at Vernon. We constantly strive to bring our clients great brand-building ideas, value and service. I really feel like this recognition is more of a reflection of the way we work together as a team. I couldn’t be more proud.”

Letter Continued from Page 1A • We stand in support of public officials and faith communities who have answered the call to take in refugees.

• Since America’s founding, we have striven to be a land of opportunity and safe harbor. Each generation faces an opportunity to live up to these principles. At times we have succeeded, and at times we have failed.

• We pray that our leaders will meet the challenge of this day and reject fear and cruelty.

Petersen was one of several local clergy to speak at the event. She called upon the leaders of the state of Iowa as well as the United States to open the doors of our nation and welcome those she calls most vulnerable.

“I stand here before you disappointed by the fear-driven reaction of far too many of our nation’s leaders, including our own governor, that are calling for our nation and our state to close our doors, to shut our borders to refugees who are fleeing the Islamic State and the utter destruction of their country,” Petersen said. “To turn away, to reject, to discriminate against refugees fleeing the Islamic State is wrong, it is not the American way, and it is certainly not the way of Jesus.”

Following the presentations, those in attendance delivered the letter to the governor’s office personally. Branstad was not at the capitol at the time and Petersen said so far she had not heard of a response from the governor.

The event was in reaction Branstad being one of 30 governors nationwide to voice intentions to block Syrian refugees from settling in their state citing security concerns following the recent Paris terrorist attacks. Branstad directed state agencies not to prepare for Syrian refugee settlement but said he would be open to the idea if Congress passed a bill tightening security measures.

Branstad was not the only government official who received the letter recently. Governors from Georgia, Maryland, Wisconsin and Illinois have also been sent the letter with Michigan and North Carolina to be delivered in the near future.

Hold the mashed potatoes

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 30, 2015

Another Thanksgiving is in the books, and today I look back on what can only be described as a resounding success — mostly because nothing caught on fire.

This year, the hubby and our primary cook wanted to deep fat fry a turkey, which I was totally down with. I’ve always heard about how great tasting these are ,and he seemed to have a good game plan thanks to the Internet.

As we welcomed our family to our house on Thursday, it became clear the hubby wasn’t going to be able to fry the turkey outside as he had planned — a heavy rain put an end to that idea. When he cautioned that every website said not to fry it in the garage, and his backup plan was to fry it in the garage, I became worried. I actually set out the fire extinguisher just in case.

However, my brother and he teamed up to pull it off, and that

turkey turned out wonderfully.

Everything did really. With a houseful of company, conversation turned to how great everything was coming along and we began to set out our bounty.

That’s when hubby said it — I forgot to make the mashed potatoes. That’s right. Forgot them.

This is not an end of the world type of situation, right?

Wrong. It is for me. Mashed potatoes and gravy are my favorite. So if there was a time on Thanksgiving I acted like my 2-year-old nephew, this was it. I looked for a viable fix to the crisis, came up with nothing and stomped away to gather myself.

When we did sit down to eat, my sarcastic and hilarious family made mention of the absence of mashed potatoes no fewer than a dozen times. As it became a joke, I became more OK with it.

Besides, I couldn’t be too mad, he had avoided burning down

the garage.

Now I don’t want to paint the picture that I contribute nothing to the actual meal. I like to think I play a strong supporting role with prep work and divvying up responsibilities. My brother’s family contributed the ham and green bean casserole, and my mom brought nearly every other side and the pumpkin pie.

I always make this strawberry jello dish my grandmother used to make. Our kids love it, and I was excited to have my nephew give it a whirl. This little guy is quite a character at age 2. On Thanksgiving, I dubbed him Frankenstein because he had a serious bruise and gash on his forehead from being a rowdy boy. So as I scooped up a little bit of my famous jello salad for him to try I was confronted with the honesty of a toddler.

“This is icky,” he said. “It’s not yummy.” To each their own,

Frankenstein.

Meanwhile, my brother declared that Thanksgiving was his favorite holiday, and somehow got us to do a big tribute and toast to him. He’s a typical crowd favorite and therefore a challenge in our sibling relationship, but this proved to be entertaining.

With some time dedicated to talking about our gratitude for this past year, we moved right into focusing on Friday’s game day and what an incredible football season it’s been. It’s great to be a Hawkeye!

While my leftovers weren’t everything I’d hoped they would be, I was truly grateful to have and host my family for our celebration this year. May we never again forget the mashed potatoes.

Letters to the Editor

JCCA wowed by recent performance

Glenda Duffus Newton Members of the Jasper County Concert Association ( JCCA) and their guests were recently treated to a concert by talented brass players, specifically, a trombone quartet, “Maniacal 4.”

These four young men met and received their Bachelor’s degrees from the University of North Texas, in Denton Texas. As first year college students, their collaboration as a trombone quartet began immediately.

As individual players, each of them demonstrated extreme skill, and as an ensemble, they were unified and polished. Each of them played with finesse, excellent intonation, and power, if the music so dictated. Their sound was rhythmic, mellow, and uplifting, and their rapport so evident.

Each member showed a wonderful combination of technical virtuosity, musical subtlety, and an enjoyable stage presence. The

group proved to be well versed in classical, jazz, Latin, and rock music.

The concert program began with an arrangement of the classic piece, “The Heavens Are Telling” by Beethoven. The players continued with two Bach selections originally for organ, “Contrapunctus I” and “Fugue in D Minor.” Then followed a beautiful rendition of the impressionistic piano solo, “The Girl With the Flaxen Hair.”

The quartet continued by moving into other musical genres, such as “The Queen of the Night” from Mozart’s Opera, “The Magic Flute,” and “Russian Sailor’s Dance” from the “Red Poppy Ballet.”

Audience members enjoyed such contemporary and familiar titles as “Scarborough Fair,” “The 007 Theme,” “Pretty Woman,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” and “Que Sera Sera.”

The concert included with a full-bodied arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody” written by Freddie Mercury of the British Rock group “Queen.”

The concluding selection was a bold rendition of the Kansas hit “Carry on My Wayward Son,” arranged by M4’s own, Carl Lundgren. This ‘70’s rock selection featured one of the trombonists playing an electronically synthesized trombone. Using a pedal to create distortion, the sound was undoubtedly an accurate imitation of an electric guitarist.

M4 performed much of the concert from memory, demonstrating a committed musical vision on par with other great chamber music ensembles.

They were fabulous musicians smoothly sliding from one composition to another.

Three concerts remain for the 2015 – 2016 season. They include an “International String Trio,” the Des Moines Metro Opera’s “Cinderella,” and “Piano Men,” featuring the music of Elton John and Billy Joel.

Consider supporting and joining the Jasper County Concert Association. Be a part of promoting the arts and sustaining all that Newton has to offer.

What might have happened if a few of the 1,500 concert attendees in Paris’ Bataclan theater h a d guns?

T h e terrorists had t i m e to kill, By John Stossel reload and kill again. The police unit didn’t come for more than a half hour. If a few people in the theater were armed, might they have killed the killers?

We’ll never know.

France’s guns laws say you may not carry a gun unless police certify that you are “exposed to exceptional risks of harm” to your life. Few people even bother to apply.

Fortunately, in America, laws in every state now allow adults to carry guns. Some predicted this would lead to more crime, but the opposite happened. Crime is down.

Yet some towns, such as Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City, where I live, still make it nearly impossible for people to legally carry a gun.

I know because I tried to get a license.

People sometimes threaten me. One made a “Kill John Stossel” website. So I’d like the option of carrying a gun to protect myself.

First, I had to read and say I understood 50 pages of New York weapons laws and fill out a 17-page form. We had to call the police department six times just to clarify what questions meant.

Then I had to go to police headquarters in person. They fingerprinted me and told me to list reasons why I should be allowed to have a gun.

Gun instructor Glenn Herman says the bureaucracy is intentional.

New York politicians want “to deter people from following through the process, which can take a year.”

It took me eight and a half months. That included returning for another in-person interview.

This time, they told me that they’d discovered an old lawsuit against me and said I couldn’t get a permit unless it had been “resolved.” I explained that it had been dropped.

They wanted “proof.”

I showed them a New York Times story that reported that the case was dropped. They told me that wasn’t sufficient; I had to produce original court documents.

They also told me I had to “document” threats against me. The “Kill John Stossel” website and other Internet threats weren’t sufficient, they said, because I hadn’t reported them to the police at the time.

Fifty-two days later, they sent me a letter — rejecting my application. They said I “failed to demonstrate a special need.”

But why must I show a “special need”?

The Supreme Court says that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to keep and bear arms.

The court allowed cities to impose reasonable regulation. But New York’s leftist politicians have strange ideas about what’s reasonable.

Gun instructor Herman told me that I applied “the wrong way.”

Permits routinely go to “friends of the ruling class,” he says. “Everyone else is out of luck.” Sure enough, I notice that Donald Trump, Howard Stern and Robert De Niro got permits.

I wish bureaucrats worried more about what can happen when people don’t have guns.

Mass killers often deliberately target gun-free zones. Criminals don’t care about breaking rules — but they know their potential victims will probably follow the rules and be unarmed. According to the U.N., the nation of Mali, where terrorists killed 20 people in a hotel, has one of the lowest rates of gun ownership in the world.

Daughter dreads holiday visit to mom in diminished health DEAR ABBY: I gave birth to a baby girl two months ago. I have a wonderful husband and my in-laws are incredible. We live far away from both sides of the family.

My mom is a former cocaine and prescription pain meds addict. Her addiction diminished her mental capacities, and it’s difficult to relate to her because the only things she can talk about are her health issues and all the medications she’s currently taking.

Mom recently came to visit us.

I hadn’t seen her in two years, and when she did, I realized we have nothing in common. She and my dad are still happily married, and Dad has yet to meet my child. I’m supposed to visit them for the holidays, but I’d rather spend the time with my inlaws. Any suggestions? — NOTHING IN COMMON IN HAWAII DEAR NOTHING IN COMMON: Yes. Sometimes it’s important to do things we would rather not because they are the right thing to do. Your father is trying to make the best of a difficult situation, and your mother is working to overcome a serious illness — which addiction is.

Make the scheduled visit you committed to, and give your dad the chance to meet his grandchild. If, after that, you decide to permanently distance yourself from your parents, it will be your choice, but you may change your mind.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of five years, “Jack,” is funny, unique and generally very sweet. I’m currently on disability and working hard to get myself healthy enough to start working again. The problem is, Jack thinks I do nothing but sit on my butt all day.

When I worked, we used to trade massages to make each other feel relaxed because our jobs were physical-

ly demanding. Now, because I’m not working, he says it’s my “job” to help him relax. I give him a massage every night, but it’s never reciprocated.

When I ask him for one, he puts no effort into it and acts like it’s a chore.

I no longer feel loved or special. I feel like a live-in masseuse, but I’m worried that if I stop, there will be no physical contact at all between us. What would be the best way to let him know I’m tired of it? — RUBBED THE WRONG WAY IN MINNESOTA DEAR RUBBED THE WRONG WAY: Jack doesn’t sound all that “sweet” to me. Because you feel the way you do, tell him how his change of behavior is affecting you.

Touch is important because it helps partners to stay connected. Could it be that Jack’s unwillingness to give you massages is “punishment” because you’re not contributing financially as you did while you were working?

Tell him you miss the closeness you once shared, and that if the shoe were on the other foot, you wouldn’t treat him this way. Depending on what he has to say, suggest that for the sake of your relationship, a compromise may be in order because your partnership is not equal now.

2 Northern Iowa man injured by falling vehicle, sheriff says

PLYMOUTH — Northern Iowa authorities say a 63-year-old man has been injured by a falling vehicle. Mason City television station KIMT reports that authorities were sent to the scene in Plymouth about 4:30 p.m. Sunday. Sheriff Kevin Pals of Cerro Gordo County says the man suffered head injuries. The man’s name and other information about the accident haven’t been released.

CHARLES CITY — Officials in Charles City and surrounding Floyd County are considering a shared law enforcement center to serve their northern Iowa communities. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that the city council and county board of supervisors held their first joint meeting last week. Supervisors Chairman Doug Kamm says the need for a new jail has been talked about for several years. The 74-year-old jail is on the fourth floor of the courthouse, which also houses the sheriff ’s office.

DAVENPORT — Police have charged two men who were arrested after riding in a vehicle that contained a methamphetamine lab.

The Quad-Cities Times reports that 33-year-old Christopher Ray Hicks and 38-year-old Collin Bundy Loader have been charged with one count each of possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to commit a felony. The possession charge carries up to 25 years in prison, and the conspiracy charge carries up to five years.

5 Dissolved Iowa school district to begin settling liabilities

FARRAGUT — A southwest Iowa school district that was dissolved now has to close its books, settle its liabilities and dispose of property such as desks and buildings.

The Daily Nonpareil in Council Bluffs reports that Lane Plugge, a former Iowa City schools superintendent, is overseeing the process. Plugge is charged with oversight as part of his role as the chief administrator of the Green Hills Area Education Agency.

Iowa sheriffs preparing for wave of gun permit renewals The Associated Press DUBUQUE — Nearly five years after Iowa residents flocked to sheriff ’s offices in a rush to obtain firearm permits, sheriffs are bracing for a wave of renewals.

The initial spike in 2011 came after the Iowa Legislature changed the state’s permitting law from “may issue” to “shall issue,” giving law enforcement less discretion over who can receive a permit, according to the Dubuque Telegraph Herald.

The number of permits issued in Iowa skyrocketed after the change was made, from roughly 39,000 non-professional

permits issued in 2010 to more than 101,000 in 2011. The number of permits issued has remained high ever since, but nowhere near the number issued in 2011. Five-year renewals will begin in January.

The only legal disqualifications from obtaining a permit is if a person is a felon, younger than 21 years old, has a drug or alcohol addiction or has a misdemeanor assault conviction. A person deemed likely to use a weapon to endanger others also can be disqualified, though there needs to be documented evidence to back that claim. Permits also are invalid if a person is

intoxicated.

Dubuque County Sheriff Don Vrotsos said there is no way of knowing if the county is more or less safe because of the law change, but that he thinks changes should be made to the law.

“The more guns that are out on the streets, that could be some type of an issue down the road,” he said. “Have we had any issues at this time? Not that I’m aware of. That doesn’t mean it could not happen.”

Jeff Udelhofen, the owner of Tri-State Outdoors, a Dubuque gun store, said the 2011 law change has allowed more people to become edu-

cated about firearms, as a safety course is a required component for most applicants.

Udelhofen said the “million dollar question” is figuring out how to keep guns away from the mentally ill.

“It’s a tough question to try to figure that out, who’s going to get to that point where they snap and what means they’re going to use to carry that out,” Udelhofen said. “I know, myself, they can background check me to death to make sure I’m clean, and I think most people who don’t have anything to hide don’t mind more stringent background checks.”

Experts: Pain pill addicts fueling Iowa’s heroin epidemic DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s crackdown on prescription painkillers is pushing more abusers to heroin, spurring a deadly new wave of addictions that experts say has reached epidemic proportions.

Heroin use still lags far behind marijuana, methamphetamine and painkiller use in Iowa — but it’s climbing quickly.

Experts say the heroin epidemic, which is a growing problem nationwide, is largely spurred by people who first become addicted to opiate pain medication, according to the Des Moines Register. As the pills become more expensive and harder to obtain, people move on to heroin, which is cheaper and provides a more potent high.

A single pill of painkillers such as Percocet or OxyContin can cost from $10 to $80, while a bag of heroin sells on the street for about $10, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

“We are at a crossroads of Interstate 35 and Interstate 80. It’s coming at us from Chicago and Omaha and Texas,” said Mike Polich, executive director of United Community Services in Des Moines.

NATIONWIDE – The phone lines are ringing off the hook.

That’s because U.S. State Silver Bars sealed away in heavy Vault Bricks are being handed over to IA, WI, IL, MO, NE and SD residents at just the state minimum for the next 2 days.

This is not a misprint. For the next 2 days residents who find their state on the Distribution List above in bold are getting individual State Silver Bars at just the state minimum of $57 set by the Lincoln Treasury. That’s why nearly everyone is taking full Vault Bricks loaded with five U.S. State Silver Bars before they’re all gone.

And here’s the best part. Every IA, WI, IL, MO, NE and SD resident who gets at least two Vault Bricks is also getting free shipping and free handling. That’s a real steal because all other state residents must pay over six hundred dollars for each State Vault Brick.

Just a few weeks ago, nobody knew that the only U.S. State Silver Bars locked away in the private vaults of the Lincoln Treasury would be released to residents in 6 states. Every single one of the 50 U.S. State Silver Bars are date numbered in the order they ratified the Constitution and were admitted into the Union beginning in the late 1700s.

“As Executive Advisor to the Lincoln Treasury I get paid to deliver breaking news. So, for anyone who hasn’t heard yet, never before seen U.S. State Silver Bars are now being handed over at just the state minimum to residents in 6 states who beat the offer deadline, which is why I pushed for this announcement to be widely advertised,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America.

“These heavy bars are solid .999 pure fine silver and will always be a valuable precious metal which is why everyone is snapping up as many as they can before they’re all gone,” Withrow said.

There’s one thing Withrow wants to make very clear. State residents only have two days to call the Toll Free Order Hotlines to get the U.S. State Silver Bars.

“These valuable U.S. State Silver Bars are impossible to get at banks, credit unions or the

In fact, they’re only being handed over at state minimum to IA, WI, IL, MO, NE and SD residents who call the Toll Free Hotline before the deadline ends two days from today’s publication date”, said Timothy J. Shissler, Executive Director of Vault Operations at the private Lincoln Treasury.

To make it fair, special Toll Free Overflow Hotlines have been set up to ensure all residents have an equal chance to get them.

Rapid shipments to state residents are scheduled to begin with the first calls being accepted at precisely 8:30am today.

“We’re bracing for all the calls and doing everything we can to make sure no one gets left out, but the U.S. State Silver Bars are only being handed over at just the state resident minimum for the next two days or until they’re all gone, whichever comes first. For now, residents can get the U.S. State Silver Bars at just the state minimum as long as they call before the order deadline ends,” confirmed Shissler.

“With so many state residents trying to get these U.S. State Silver Bars, lines are busy so keep trying. All calls will be answered,” Shissler said. ■

Pope Francis meets with Muslims Leaders of in Central African Republic warming Earth meet in Paris to cut emissions The Associated Press

The Associated Press LE BOURGET, France — Addressing the twin threats of global warming and extremist violence, the largest group of world leaders ever to stand together kicked off two weeks of high-stakes climate talks outside Paris on Monday, saying that by striking an ambitious deal to cut emissions they can show terrorists what countries can achieve when they are united.

The gathering of 151 heads of state and government comes at a somber time for France, two weeks after militants linked to the Islamic State group killed 130 people around Paris. Fears of more attacks have prompted extra-high security and a crackdown on environmental protests — and threaten to eclipse longer-term concerns about rising seas and increasingly extreme weather linked to man-made global warming.

“The challenge of an international meeting has never been so great because it’s the future of the planet, the future of life,” French President Francois Hollande said after a moment of silence for attack victims in France, Lebanon, Iraq, Tunisia and Mali.

“There are two big global challenges that we must face,” he added, urging leaders to create a world free from both environmental destruction and extremist violence.

Many of the leaders paid their respects at sites linked to the attacks on their way to the conference. President Barack Obama, in a late-night visit, placed a single flower outside the concert hall where dozens were killed, and bowed his head in silence.

“We stand with Paris,” said U.N. climate change agency chief Christina Figueres said at talks near Le Bourget airfield, just north of the city. “The city of light, now more than ever, is a beacon of hope for the world.”

On Sunday, hundreds of thousands of people rallied around the world, calling on the leaders to make real progress at the talks. Violence erupted after one peaceful demonstration in Paris, and hundreds of people were arrested. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon took note of the protests in his opening remarks.

Pope Francis ventured into a volatile Muslim neighborhood of Central African Republic’s capital on Monday to bring his message of reconciliation to the city’s main mosque, insisting that Christians and Muslims have long lived peacefully together here and that religion can never justify violence.

Under heavy security, Francis crossed into the PK5 neighborhood where Bangui’s Muslims are essentially blockaded in, unable to leave because of the armed Christian militia fighters who surround its perimeter. Francis had insisted on coming to the neighborhood to appeal for peace in a country where two years of Christian-Muslim violence has divided the capital and forced nearly 1 million people to flee their homes.

In comments to the chief imam at the mosque, Francis insisted that Muslims and Christians are brothers and must behave as such.

“Christians and Muslims and members of traditional religions have lived peacefully for many years,” he said. “Together, we say no to hatred, to vengeance and vi-

olence, especially that committed in the name of a religion or God.” The chief imam at the mosque, Tidiani Moussa Naibi, thanked Francis for his visit, which he said was “a symbol which we all understand.”

Francis visit to this country marked the highlight of his three-nation African tour, with previous stops in Kenya and Uganda. He has a final Mass in Bangui’s sports stadium later Monday before returning to Rome.

Suspect in Colorado clinic shooting to appear in court C O L O R A D O SPRINGS (AP) — The man accused of opening fire at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs lived a troubled, isolated life in the mountains of South Carolina and Colorado, but acquaintances said he never hinted that he would target the organization.

Robert Lewis Dear, 57, will make his first appearance in court Monday. He is accused of killing a police officer and two civilians — an Iraq war veteran and a mother of two — who were accompanying sep-

arate friends to the clinic. The rampage touched off an hourslong standoff and shootout Friday that also left nine other people in the hospital. Dear’s court appearance will be done by video Monday afternoon in Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs police on Sunday said they would not disclose any information on the motive for the attack.

Dear has been described by acquaintances as a reclusive loner who didn’t seem to have strong political or social opinions.

Neighbors who live near Dear’s former South Carolina home say he hid food in the woods and lived off selling prints of his uncle’s paintings of Southern plantations and the Masters golf tournament. After he moved to Colorado, he once gave a neighbor pamphlets opposing President Barack Obama.

“He didn’t talk about them or anything. He just said, ‘Look them over when you get a chance,’” Zigmond Post said.

A law enforcement official said Dear told authorities “no more baby

parts” after being arrested, part of a rambling statement that investigators are parsing to understand the reasoning.

The law enforcement official who recounted Dear’s statement spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not allowed to publicly discuss the ongoing investigation. The official said the “no more baby parts” comment was among a number of statements he made to authorities after his arrest, making it difficult to know his specific motivation.

PERFECT TEAM, PERFECT DREAM

Troy Hyde/Daily News Above: Iowa junior George Kittle celebrates a touchdown reception in the first quarter against Nebraska on Friday in Lincoln, Neb. Below: Iowa defensive tackle Nathan Bazata carries off the Heroes Trophy after the Hawkeyes defeated the Cornhuskers, 28-20, at Memorial Stadium. The win gave Iowa its first-ever 12-0 regular season. The Hawkeyes will try to get to 13-0 on Saturday when they take on Michigan State in the Big Ten Conferene championship game.

No. 4 Iowa holds off Nebraska to complete first 12-0 regular season

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News LINCOLN, Neb. — After Iowa’s Black Friday football game against Nebraska, redshirt freshman Parker Hesse was asked if he remembered what play was called the last time he scored a touchdown.

“I do. It was a quarterback sneak in the (2013) state title game,” said Hesse, who is walkon from Waukon.

Hesse was an all-state quarterback back then. He is now a defensive end who is filling in for injured senior Drew Ott. The biggest touchdown of Hesse’s collegiate career came Friday when he picked off a Tommy Armstrong screen pass and rumbled four yards for a touchdown.

The pick-six gave then thirdranked Iowa a 14-7 lead. The

Hawkeyes never trailed again in a 28-20 victory over the Cornhuskers that completed the school’s first-ever 12-0 regular season.

“It was just kind of the right place at the right time,” said Hesse of the pick. “The tackle tried to cut me so I defended myself. The ball went right over the top of me. I just reacted. I was lucky enough to tip it back to myself.”

It was the fifth time Iowa has finished a regular season undefeated, but the most wins recorded by those past teams was when the Hawkeyes finished 8-0-1 in consecutive seasons in 1899 and 1900.

Not even Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz knows how to celebrate a 12-0 season.

“I told the guys after the game that I am not sure what to say because I have never been a part of a 12-0 team,” said Ferentz, who

guided Iowa to 11-2 seasons in 2002 and 2009. “It’s an unbelievable accomplishment. We wanted to be a Big Ten championship caliber team. We took one step closer to that today.”

Iowa took an early lead when quarterback C.J. Beathard rolled to his right on a play-action pass and found a wide-open George Kittle in the end zone for a 10yard touchdown.

The touchdown came with 13:50 to go in the second quarter. Nebraska came right back to tie the game a few minutes later when Imani Cross scored on a 4-yard touchdown run.

Hesse’s interception return for a touchdown made it 14-7. The Huskers (5-7) made it 14-10 with three seconds to go until halftime when Drew Brown hit a 39-yard field goal.

ISU’s Rhoads shares hugs, tears after Iowa State names Toledo’s Matt Campbell loss to Mountaineers in final game MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Paul Rhoads put on a construction worker’s hard hat with the Iowa State logo, exchanged well wishes with West Virginia’s Dana Holgorsen on the field and jogged to the visitor’s locker room one last time.

Rhoads shared long hugs and shed some tears with his players after the Cyclones lost to West Virginia 30-6 on Saturday. The Iowa State coach was fired last Sunday but was allowed to lead one more game. He bows out with a career record of 32-55.

Rhoads exchanged his customary baseball cap for the hard hat at the end of the game, saying it was a symbol of his time with the Cyclones.

“We’re a blue-collar program,” Rhoads said. “For seven years I put my hard hat on and gone to work.

It’s what we stand for and what we represent.”

Kobe Bryant says he will retire at end of season LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant has decided to retire after this season, ending his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The 37-year-old Bryant made the announcement in a post on The Players’ Tribune on Sunday, writing a poem titled “Dear Basketball.”

Bryant went straight from high school in suburban Philadelphia to the Lakers in 1996, and he earned five championship rings and 17 AllStar selections during two decades with the franchise.

But Bryant’s last three seasons have ended early due to injuries, and he played in only 41 games over the previous two years.

Iowa, Michigan State set for Big Ten title game DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa took a lot of grief this season for not playing the top teams in the Big Ten East.

The Hawkeyes will get the best one Saturday — likely with a trip to the playoffs on the line.

No. 4 Iowa (12-0, 8-0 Big Ten) and No. 5 Michigan State (11-1, 7-1) will face off in Indianapolis in the biggest game these programs have ever played against each other.

The Hawkeyes sealed their spot in the title matchup with a game to spare. The Spartans clinched the East with a 55-16 drubbing of Penn State this weekend.

“This was our first goal, to get to this game,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said Sunday in a teleconference.

Iowa finished its regular season unbeaten for the first time since 1922.

Though the Hawkeyes didn’t play the toughest of schedules, they beat the likes of Pitt, Wisconsin and Northwestern to put coach Kirk Ferentz in position for his fourth conference coach of the year award.

Michigan State wasn’t far behind.

The Spartans only lost on the road at Nebraska 39-38 thanks in part to a questionable call at the end of the game.

Recent wins at Ohio State and against the Nittany Lions have made Michigan State a slight favorite.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa senior tailback Jordan Canzeri (33) rushed for 140 yards on 17 carries during the Hawkeyes’ 28-20 win over Nebraska on Friday. The fourth-ranked Hawkeyes are 12-0 and will play fifth-ranked Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game this Saturday.

Here are some of things to look for as Iowa and Michigan State renew acquaintances.

The Committee is watching The winner of Saturday’s game is all but guaranteed a

shot at the four-team playoff, especially after Notre Dame lost to Stanford and dropped out of the running. If Clemson or Alabama lose this weekend, the Big Ten’s hold on a playoff

spot will only tighten.

“I just can’t imagine whoever wins this ball game not being in the playoffs,” Ferentz said. “But no matter what happens, it won’t diminish what both teams have accomplished.”

A win could even put the Hawkeyes into a rematch with Oklahoma and Bob Stoops, a star for the Hawkeyes in the early 80s.

Heisman potential No one who’ll suit up in Indianapolis will compete for the Heisman Trophy. But Cook might be the first quarterback taken in next year’s NFL draft. Cook has thrown for 24 touchdowns against four picks despite a 58 percent completion percentage.

Iowa is led by quarterback C.J. Beathard, whose clutch play is one of the biggest reasons the Hawkeyes are in a playoff position.

Looking back This will be a matchup that re-ignites one of the Big Ten’s most underrated rivalries.

Iowa has beaten Dantonio’s teams twice in double overtime since 2007.

The Hawkeyes also won on the last play of the game in East Lansing during a 9-0 start in 2009 and ruined Michigan State’s Rose Bowl hopes in 2010.

The Spartans won the last meeting 26-14 in 2013 in what Ferentz called star quarterback Connor Cook’s “coming out party.”

Playoff Pulse: Final 4 field falls into place for committee

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press The College Football Playoff selection committee is set up to have a pretty easy championship weekend.

Clemson is in with a win.

Alabama is in with a win.

The winner of the Big Ten championship game between Iowa and Michigan State gets in.

And Oklahoma pretty much sealed up its spot on Saturday night with a 58-23 win at Oklahoma State in its finale.

“You just figure if you’re third and you go to a championship game away from home to the No. 9 team in the country and win by 30-some points, you would only move up, but you sure wouldn’t move back,” Sooners coach Bob Stoops said.

Sure won’t, Bob. Barring surprises in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game or the Southeastern Conference title game next Saturday, Jeff Long’s crew should be able to get a decent night’s sleep before revealing the field.

The committee might want to send Stanford a thank you note. Unfortunately for the Cardinal, it probably won’t come with an invitation to the final four.

The Cardinal beat Notre Dame 38-36 on a last-second field goal, handing the Fighting Irish (10-2, No. 6 CFP) their second loss of the season.

Notre Dame at 11-1 probably would have forced the committee to at least reconsider

whether the Fighting Irish belonged in over maybe the Big 12 champion Sooners or the Big Ten champion.

Not a problem anymore.

Stanford heads to the Pac12 championship game against USC, hoping for an upset in

the ACC or SEC. Clemson has to get through North Carolina, which has won 11 straight since an opening loss to South Carolina.

The Tar Heels (11-1, No. 14 CFP) haven’t gotten much love from the committee without marquee victories on their resume and two FCS wins.

Beating Clemson (12-0, No. 1 CFP) would be about as big as it gets, but North Carolina has a long way to jump.

Maybe Florida can throw the committee a curve? The Gators (10-2, No. 12 CFP) trudge into the SEC championship game against Alabama (11-1, No. 2 CFP), coming off a 27-2 loss to Florida State.

A Florida victory next week would likely leave the SEC out of the playoff.

More likely though, the SEC championship will be an opportunity for Crimson Tide tailback Derrick Henry to wrap up the Heisman after he went for 271 yards on a school-record 46 carries in a victory against Auburn on Saturday.

Who else is hoping for chaos? Hello, Ohio State (11-1, No. 8 CFP).

The Buckeyes were a week too late with their best performance of the season, pounding Michigan 42-13 behind Ezekiel Elliott, who got plenty of touches and ran all over the Wolverines.

Ohio State might have to settle for the Rose Bowl.

Who’s No. 1 Rivalry games can be tricky and both Clemson and Alabama had difficultly pulling

away in their annual in-state grudge matches.

The Tigers again gave the selection committee some reason to reconsider whether they should be No. 1. Deshaun Watson was great, running for three touchdowns and passing for another, but the Clemson defense had a tough time containing South Carolina in a 37-32 victory.

“I’m just looking to be 13-0 next week,” Watson said.

Clemson takes a 15-game winning streak into the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

A more dominant performance by Alabama, which beat Auburn 29-13, might have given the committee reason to flip the Tide and Tigers.

While Alabama’s overall resume features more wins against good teams, Clemson gets the edge in big victories with wins against Notre Dame and Florida State.

Body of work probably still goes to the Tigers.

What’s on the line is homefield advantage of sorts.

The No. 1 seed gets to play as close to home as possible.

That would put Clemson in the Orange Bowl in Miami if it’s still the top team.

The Cotton Bowl in North Texas will host the other semifinal.

Ideally, the committee would not want put a team seeded third or fourth too close to home, but if the rankings stay as is with Oklahoma at No. 3, the Sooners would get a short trip to the Dallas area to play the Tide.

Second-ranked Hawkeyes use pins to pull away from No. 17 Cyclones

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News AMES — Iowa State’s wrestling team wasn’t favored in many of its head-to-head matches with second-ranked Iowa on Sunday afternoon.

The No. 17 Cyclones kept things close with a pair of wins early, but once the Hawkeyes got going, there wasn’t much the home team could do.

Iowa State stayed within 10-6 at intermission, but Iowa ended the dual with five straight wins, including two

pins and two major decisions, during a 33-6 road victory in front of 5,612 fans at Hilton Coliseum.

Iowa (6-0) claimed its 12th straight win it the instate series.

The Hawkeyes recorded 26 of the final 28 takedowns in the match. That came after the Cyclones (2-2) held an 8-5 advantage in takedowns at intermission.

“You get to the first takedown and you get to the point where your third period is stronger and quicker,” said

Brands, who is 11-0 against the Cyclones. “You have to work hard and it’s not easy to do. There’s no shortcut to get to guys in the first period. You have to realize it’s hard work and you have to buy into it.”

No. 2 Cory Clark got Iowa out to an early lead with a 9-2 win over No. 7 Earl Hall at 133.

The two other matchups featuring two ranked wrestlers was at 149 and 174 and Iowa was victorious in both.

At 149, No. 3 Brandon Sorensen defeated No. 15 Gabe

Moreno by an 11-3 major decision and No. 4 Alex Meyer won 7-1 over No. 14 Lelund Weatherspoon at 174.

Iowa pulled away when No. 12 Sammy Brooks pinned Dane Pestano at 184. No. 4 Nathan Burak followed with a 22-8 major decision triumph over Luke Egli at 195.

In a matchup of unranked wrestlers, Sam Stoll pinned Quean Smith in the second period to give Iowa a 29-6 lead. No. 2 Thomas Gilman finished off the Hawkeye win with a 12-3 major decision

win over Kyle Larson at 125.

Edwin Cooper Jr. also won for the Hawkeyes as he defeated Renaldo Rodriguez, 6-2, at 157.

Iowa State’s two wins came at 141 and 165. Dante Rodriguez defeated Logan Ryan, 6-2, and No. 11 Tanner Weatherman used four takedowns in the final two periods to defeat Patrick Rhoads, 109.

Broncos topple Patriots from unbeaten ranks in OT DENVER (AP) — Tom Brady lost yet another one of his trusted targets and this time he also lost a game.

C.J. Anderson scored on a 48-yard run with 12:32 left in overtime, powering the Denver Broncos past the New England Patriots 3024 on a snowy Sunday night.

Watching from the cozy indoors at field level was Peyton Manning as Brock Osweiler and the Broncos (9-2) overcame an early 14-0 deficit and handed the Patriots (10-1) their first loss since 2014.

Now, the Carolina Panthers (11-0) are the NFL’s only remaining unbeaten team.

Osweiler threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Bubba Caldwell with 1:09 left in regulation to put the Broncos up 24-21. But Brady, playing without injured star tight end Rob Gronkowski, needed just five plays to drive the Patriots 51 yards and into range for Stephen Gostowski’s 47-yard field goal that tied it at the end of regulation.

New England won the coin toss and elected to receive, but thanks to a sack by Von Miller, Denver forced a threeand-out and, on thirdand-1 from the New England 48, Anderson raced around the left sideline and into the north end zone.

Gronkowski injured his right knee with 2:49 left in regulation and was carted off.

Chiefs 30, Bills 22 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Alex Smith threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, Spencer Ware ran for 114 yards and a score, and the Chiefs won their fifth straight.

Jeremy Maclin had nine receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown, and Cairo Santos hit three field goals for the Chiefs (6-5).

Tyrod Taylor had 291 yards passing and three touchdowns for Buffalo (5-6), but he was mostly held in check in the second half. So was Sammie Watkins, who had all six catches for 158 yards and his two touchdowns over the first 30 minutes.

AP Photo Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (19) makes a catch ahead of Buffalo Bills cornerback Mario Butler (39) during the first half Sunday’s AFC game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Maclin caught two touchdown passes in the Chiefs’ 30-22 win over the visiting Bills.

Seahawks 39, Steelers 30 SEATTLE (AP) — Russell Wilson threw a career-high five touchdown passes, including two touchdowns to Doug Baldwin in the final 8:12, and Seattle held on for a wild victory over Pittsburgh and Ben Roethlisberger.

Wilson threw three touchdowns to Baldwin, including an 80yard catch-and-run score with 2:01 left after Pittsburgh had trimmed Seattle’s lead to 32-30.

Baldwin caught a crossing route on thirdand-10 at the 20, broke two tackles and raced for the clinching score.

Baldwin caught a 30yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter after Pittsburgh had taken a 27-26 lead.

Wilson also threw two touchdowns to Jermaine Kearse and Seattle (6-5) picked up a huge victory in its hopes of getting back to the postseason.

Roethlisberger threw for 456 yards — the most ever against the Sea-

hawks — but was pulled with 2 minutes left and taken to the locker room for concussion protocol.

The Steelers (6-5) had a two-game win streak end.

Roethlisberger was intercepted twice, including Richard Sherman’s first of the season, and Landry Jones’ attempt at a late rally ended on Kam Chancellor’s pick at the Seattle 6 with 1:37 left.

Cardinals 19, 49ers 13 SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Carson Palmer ran for a goahead 8-yard touchdown with 2:28 left and tumbled after spiking the ball, and Arizona squeaked by San Francisco.

It was the Cardinals’ fifth straight win and first road victory in the series since September 2008.

Moments earlier, Palmer fell backward as he released the ball and completed a 34-yard pass to J.J. Nelson to put Arizona on the 1.

Strong second half boosts No. 4 Iowa State past Illinois NICEVILLE, Fla. (AP) — With Illinois and No. 4 Iowa State trading the lead for most of Saturday’s championship game in the Emerald Coast Classic, Cyclones guard Monte Norris decided with 10:51 remaining to try and deliver a knockout punch.

Iowa State held a 59-58 lead when Norris had the ball at midcourt and saw Abdel Nader had a step on his defender. Norris fired a lob pass and Nader slammed it home. The dunk was part of an 18-4 run in the Cyclones’ 84-73 win.

“We practice a lot of lobs and connect. When I was at halfcourt I saw him point up. I threw it up there and you saw the results,” said Norris, who was voted the tournament MVP after having 20 points and nine rebounds.

Georges Niang, who led the Cyclones (5-0) with 23 points, had six points during the spurt. Norris and Nader (18 points) had four apiece.

“That catapulted the momentum, changed the whole pace and fired us up,” Niang said. “I really think that was instinct from Monte. He knows the time, the score and what it is going to do to change momentum.”

For the first 30 minutes, Illinois (34) hung in and was challenging the

Cyclones at both ends of the court.

The Illini scored seven of the game’s first nine points and were up 12-6 less than five minutes in. Iowa State started slowly cutting into the lead, as the last 12 minutes of the half saw six ties and seven lead changes.

The opening part of the second half had two more ties and five lead changes before the Cyclones seized control.

“It felt like a heavyweight boxing match and then the last 8-9 minutes they imposed their will and for whatever reason we weren’t able to impose ours. Their ability to work to get the shots was better than us,” Illinois coach John Groce said.

Malcolm Hill led Illinois with 20 points, while Kendrick Nunn added 19 and Mike Thorne Jr. had 10.

In its first five games, Iowa State has wins over teams from the Pac-12 (Colorado), ACC (Virginia Tech) and Big Ten (Illinois).

“It was good to get these tests early.

Power five teams have the size we are going to be playing against in the Big 12. It does a lot to prep us for fighting through adversity,” Niang said Iowa State hosts North Dakota State Tuesday.

missed the extra-point try, and Blaine Gabbert and the 49ers (3-8) had one more chance with 2:21 left. Anquan Boldin caught an 18-yard pass on fourth-and-20 to clinch the win for Arizona.

David Johnson ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the third for the Cardinals (9-2), who have nine wins in their first 11 games in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history.

Texans 24, Saints 6 HOUSTON (AP) — Brian Hoyer threw for 205 yards and two touchdowns and the Texans held Drew Breese and New Orleans without a touchdown for the first time in 10 years in a win.

The Texans (6-5) have won four games in a row for the first time since winning six straight in 2012.

New Orleans (47) dropped its third straight on a day when the team didn’t score a touchdown and Brees’ streak of games with a touchdown pass was

snapped at 45.

Hoyer went 7 for 7 on the opening drive, capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Griffin, to make it 7-0 and give Houston a score on the opening possession for the first time this season.

The last time the Saints didn’t score a touchdown was Dec. 24, 2005 against Detroit and Brees’ last game without a touchdown pass came on Nov. 29, 2012 against Atlanta.

Bengals 31, Rams 7 CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes — two of them to A.J. Green — and the Bengals ended their brief slide.

After dropping a pair of prime-time games, the Bengals (9-2) were back in sync against a team that struggles to score. The Bengals’ 31 points equaled the second-most against St. Louis this season.

The Rams (4-7) have dropped four in a row.

Nick Foles returned as

the starter and threw three interceptions, including one that Leon Hall returned 19 yards for a touchdown.

Dalton was 20 of 27 for 233 yards with touchdowns of 9 and 18 yards to Green. Tyler Eifert also had his NFL-leading 12th touchdown catch.

Vikings 20, Falcons 10 ATLANTA (AP) — Adrian Peterson ran for 158 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Matt Ryan threw two more interceptions for the Vikings.

Bouncing back from a 30-13 loss to Green Bay, Minnesota (8-3) jumped ahead on Peterson’s 1-yard run in the opening quarter, and clinched it when he got loose on a 35-yard scamper down the sideline with 4:15 remaining in the game.

Atlanta (6-5) has lost five of its past six, including four straight, and is in danger of becoming one of the few teams in NFL history to start 5-0 and miss the playoffs.

Uthoff leads Iowa in upending No. 20 Wichita State LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Iowa salvaged its final game at the AdvoCare Invitational with a strong offensive performance.

Jarrod Uthoff scored 22 points, Adam Woodbury had 15 and Iowa beat No. 20 Wichita State 84-62 in the seventh place game on Sunday.

Mike Gesell added 14 points for Iowa (4-2).

“I think we learned what we need to do to win,” Gesell said.

Wichita State (2-4) got 14 from Eric Hamilton. Ron Baker, who entered averaging 20.2 points, was held to eight.

Both teams lost their first two games at the invitational.

Short-handed Wichita State played without forward Anton Grady, who was at an area hospital recovering from what doctors believe is a spinal cord concussion that happened during a collision with an Alabama player in Friday’s game. Doctors found no signs of spinal cord trauma.

After the game, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said Grady will fly home with the team. The school said Grady was walking Sunday with assistance.

“Anton is in great spirits,” Marshall said. “His mom was there. I know that he’s had some great care. I think we’re out of the woods as far as his injury goes. Now it’s just a matter of him rehabbing. What comes next after that, I don’t know.”

The team visited Grady after practice on Saturday.

“We know he’s going to make a full recovery,” said Hamilton, who received a text message from Grady before the game. “We’re going to keep praying for him.”

Wichita State senior guard Fred VanVleet sat out all three games of the invitational with a hamstring injury.

Uthoff had 13 points as Iowa took a commanding 40-21 halftime lead.

His layup gave the Hawkeyes a 3816 advantage late in the half.

Woodbury had a 3-point play as part of an 11-0 stretch to start the second half that put Iowa ahead 51-21.

“I just try to play my game,” Woodbury said. “Anytime we win, I figured it’s a good game for me.”

Anthony Clemmons and Nicholas Baer hit 3s during a 15-2 run that gave Iowa a 29-11 lead 14 minutes into the game.

The fiery combination of Sagittarius solar and Leo lunar influences will infuse the atmosphere with high energy, intensity and the spirit of expansion. This can bring good fortune, but it can also bring too much of a “good” thing. Ward against excess.

Before you buy, consume, borrow or use anything, ask, “Do I really need it?”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 30). Your decision to build on the positive and ignore the negative is a super-human act of consciousness that inspires a lightness of being. No wonder you’ll attract laughter and fun wherever you go through the end of the year. New fam-

Luck comes from following a tradition in February. Pisces and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 23, 31, 25 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Instead of offering up what you think people want you to be, take a moment to consider who you are. There will be a way to communicate effectively without having to pretend, posture or pose.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

They can’t always show you how much they love you. It’s too deep to express and besides, if you got it all at once it would be overwhelming. Try and appreciate the small daily gestures.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

But there’s a catch to this game of chance. Both ways actually wind up in the same spot. Hopefully that will make the flip less stressful.

It’s called a relationship because you’re supposed to be relating to one another. Remember the many ways in which you are similar. Empathize. Claim the common ground. Communicate.

You’ve lived moments in which you feel utterly un-selfconsciously inseparable from the world, and you’ve lived moments of extreme isolation.

It’s why you can reach out with such compassion to someone in need today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The Vernon Company, a leader in the promotional products industry, is currently looking for a professional individual to join one of our Newton Office Administrative Depts.

For the most part you’ll feel comfortable going along with what’s happening, but there are some finer points you’ll want to work out. You’ll voice your disagreement. You’ll make people think.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone likes you too well, and yet behaves in a completely appropriate way. This tension is creatively interesting.

Your conversations will be full of insight and humor. If you work together, the result will be rather brilliant.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be thinking forward to the things you still haven’t done. There’s a melancholy that goes with this thought process, because you’re not sure you’ll

have time. You will have time if you start now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll do the things to help your good reputation grow. Though right now it seems like you don’t have time to put proper emphasis on your personal life, eventually your public status will favorably impact those close to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Be careful not to identify with a problem so completely that the problem becomes your identity.

You don’t want others to see you as a victim and you certainly don’t want to see yourself that way.

Hawkeyes: Canzeri’s touchdown runs propel Iowa Continued from Page 1B The conditions were not ideal for either team’s passing attack.

Temperatures felt like 10 degrees at kick off and strong gusts of wind reached 25 miles per hour.

Beathard threw for 97 yards.

The Hawkeyes took care of the ball and relied on a strong effort from senior tailback Jordan Canzeri.

Canzeri gave Iowa more momentum early in the second half when he completed a short twoplay, 33-yard drive with a 29yard touchdown run.

After Cross scored on another 4-yard touchdown run to bring Nebraska back to within four, Canzeri put the game away with a 68-yard touchdown sprint, putting him over 100 yards on the day.

Canzeri finished with 140 yards on 17 carries. He averaged 8.2 yards per attempt.

“The rest of the team made things really easy for me on those big plays. All I had to do was run,” Canzeri said. “It’s amazing to be a part of this. It’s something that I am so grateful for. To be able to have this success just shows what hard work can do.”

Nebraska out-gained Iowa in total offense, 433-250. Husker quarterback Tommy Armstrong threw for 296 yards, but his four interceptions were the difference in the game.

Aside from Hesse, linebackers Cole Fisher and Josey Jewell and cornerback Greg Mabin had interceptions for the Hawkeyes’ opportunistic defense.

Hesse has had his ups and downs this year as Ott’s replacement. He had the best game of his career against Nebraska. No one was happier than Ott. “I was going over all week how to score touchdowns against Nebraska,” said Ott, who is a Nebraska native. “I think he took good notes. I told him to get two, but you can only do so much.”

The game still came down to an onside kick as Nebraska got within eight on a 42-yard field goal by Brown.

Like he did against Minnesota earlier this season, tight end Henry Krieger-Coble snatched the onside attempt with 1:17 to

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Aaron Bailey threw for three touchdowns and Tyvis Smith rushed for 147 yards and a score to lead Northern Iowa to a 53-17 win over Eastern Illinois in the FCS playoffs on Saturday night.

Bailey only threw 11 passes, completing 7 for 162 yards.

Northern Iowa (84) plays at sixth-seeded Portland State in the second round.

Northern Iowa broke the game open in the second quarter as Michael Schmadeke kicked three of his four field goals, Bailey hit Daurice Fountain for a 32-yard score and Smith scored on a 1-yard run for a

Campbell Continued from Page 1B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa’s Parker Hesse (40) celebrates his interception return for a touchdown with teammate Miles Taylor during the Hawkeyes’ 28-20 win over Nebraska on Friday. The fourth-ranked Hawkeyes finished the regular season 12-0 for the first time in school history.

play.

Beathard only needed a few kneel downs from there.

“We reminded each other at halftime that we have been talking about finishing for 11 months now. It feels really good to go out and do it,” senior center Austin Blythe said. “The goal is to get three more wins. Right now, we’ll enjoy this one and start working on our next opponent on Sunday.”

Iowa’s next opponent is fifthranked Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game on Saturday. The Spartans’ lone loss this year came in Lincoln to the same Husker team Iowa beat on Friday.

The winner of that game is likely one of the four teams in

this year’s College Football Playoff that will take place on New Year’s Eve. No matter what happens, Blythe’s final year in Iowa City was much better than his first when the Hawkeyes went 4-8.

“Iowa football is not 4-8. It was a goal of some of us on that team to have a season like this,” Blythe, who was an all-state lineman at Williamsburg, said. “I wanted to be a part of team that Coach Ferentz references like he does with the 2002 and 2009 teams. We are well on our way to that for sure.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa cornerback Greg Mabin (13) takes down Nebraska running back Terrell Newby on Friday during the Hawkeyes’ 28-20 win over Nebraska. Mabin and the Josey Jewell (43) each had interceptions in the Iowa victory.

Rhoads Continued from Page 1B “Special. He’s my blood,” Rhoads said. “I got 130 sons that are a part of that program.

Their parents, their families entrusted us with them and the head coach is at the top of that heap. Helped raise them, help them grow and mature as they have and they do. It is special with every single one of them.”

Iowa State wide receiver Quenton Bundrage said seeing his coach walk off the field for the last time “definitely wasn’t a good feeling.

“Knowing that that was

Panthers cruise past Eastern Illinois in FCS postseason opener

his last game being the head coach and that we didn’t get him the ‘W,’ I really feel bad for him. I really appreciate coach Rhoads and everything he’s done for me and the program.”

Iowa State, with two field goals, was limited to 284 total yards and failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season. The Cyclones (39, 2-7) went winless on the road, something that hadn’t happened since 2008.

Skyler Howard threw one touchdown pass and ran for another score while Josh Lambert kicked three field goals for West Virginia (74, 4-4). It marked the final

home game for West Virginia’s 20 seniors, who sang John Denver’s “Country Roads” on their field together one final time in a light rain.

The Mountaineers held an opponent out of the end zone for the third time this season, including two shutouts.

“I couldn’t be prouder of our defense,” Holgorsen said.

“They played spectacular. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the seniors we talk about are on that side of the ball.”

West Virginia won its fourth straight and finishes the regular season at Kansas State Saturday.

K.J. Dillon’s interception on Iowa State’s opening series

the game-day environment and facilities are all incredible. I could see us living in Ames and me coaching the Cyclones someday.’”

Toledo athletic director Mike O’Brien told the AP on Saturday that the school had offered Campbell a contract that would have made him the highest-paid coach in the Mid-American Conference.

Defensive coordinator Jon Heacock will be named Toledo’s interim coach for the Rockets, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.

According to USA Today’s coaching salary database, Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck is making $800,000 this season, which is the MAC’s highest salary. Rhoads made $2.2 million this year at Iowa State, which also owes Rhoads an extra $4.5 million buyout.

Campbell’s first win came in the 2011 Military Bowl after Tim Beckman left Toledo for Illinois.

The Ohio native then went 9-4 and 7-5, and the Rockets beat Arkansas State in a bowl game last season for another 9-4 finish.

The Rockets started 7-0 this fall before a loss to Northern Illinois. Western Michigan stunned Toledo 3530 on Friday, handing NIU the division title and likely speeding up Campbell’s departure for Ames.

Campbell was an offensive coordinator prior to taking over as Toledo’s head coach, and the Rockets averaged at least 31 points a game in

set up Howard’s scoring toss to Shelton Gibson, who took a short pass and weaved his way across the field for a 60yard touchdown.

“When I cut it back, I said, ‘I think I’m gone.’ It was a great feeling,” Gibson said.

Gibson finished with six catches for 148 yards. He also had a 53-yard kickoff return to set up a field goal.

Howard went 12-of-26 for 202 yards and led the Mountaineers in rushing with 73 yards.

After averaging just 2.7 yards per carry well into the third quarter, the Mountaineers ran the ball six straight times on an 83-yard drive,

23-7 lead.

Bailey connected with Charles Brown on a 52-yard score and Fountain for 41 yards when Northern Iowa built the lead to 43-17 after three quarters.

Ray Buchanan Jr. added a 70-yard interception return.

Jalen Whitlow completed 27 of 49 passes with one touchdown but had two interceptions for Eastern Illinois (75), which had four turnovers. each of his first four seasons as head coach.

Campbell will take over an Iowa State program with a long history of finishing at the bottom of the Big 12 heap.

Iowa State went 8-28 in its last three seasons under Rhoads, a popular and energetic coach who took the team to three bowls in his first four seasons.

The Cyclones will bring back Mike Warren, who rushed for 1,339 yards as a freshman, and star wideout Allen Lazard. Sophomore quarterback Joel Lanning was up and down after taking over as the starter midway through this season, but he showed plenty of promise as a runner and a passer.

Iowa State will lose four starters on its offensive line, but the Cyclones return as many as nine starters on their defense — including six in their front seven.

The Cyclones weren’t expected to be big-time players in a flooded coaching market, but made a pre-emptive move to grab one of the nation’s brightest young coaches.

Campbell’s first season as coach brings a brutal schedule, with trips to Iowa, TCU and Oklahoma State in the first six weeks.
