“I had an old friend tell me when he was driving home from Vietnam in December, he remembered the first glimpse of the lights and he knew he was home in Newton, Iowa,” Steve Knight said.

Tuesday, Jasper County Human Resources Director Dennis Simon will be seeking the Board of Supervisors’ approval for 5 new county employees, including a new deputy.

If approved, Jason Cunningham would become the newest deputy for the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, effective Wednesday. Three other potential hires will be for either parttime or temporary positions within the Secondary Roads Department for snow removal. The fifth position will be a part-time jailor at the Jasper County Jail.

Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop will seek board approval for several transfer orders. Transfer Order 1311, which is for $132,159.19, would cover the debt payment for the TPI/ Opus Economic Development Grant.

Transfer Order 1312, which amounts to $15,582.18, would also cover a debt payment. If approved, the county would use those funds to cover a debt payment towards the Comfort Inn Hotel along the Colfax InterSUPERVISORS See Page 5A

Empty Nest

Joe Heller Cartoon

The Volunteer Sal Alaniz Jr.’s phone rings at 2 a.m. He answers on the second ring; he was up anyway, prowling the internet.

It’s the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department. There’s been a rural house fire, and a family with three children is now homeless.

“I’ll be right there,” Sal responds.

On his way out, he grabs a sack of Laura’s Grace.

“Well,” he asks to himself, “what will this day bring?”

Sal is a Red Cross Volunteer. He has

By Curt Swarm served on site Guest Columnist after hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, and the tornado in Moore, Okla. Most recently, he spent three days in Washington, Ill., after the devastating tornado that ripped through the town.

He kept a journal while there, and emailed back entries to friends, acquaintances, and other volunteers. Here are a few excerpts: “Today was an ebb, tomorrow an expected flow.”

“Flexibility. A word — a mantra — with Red Cross.”

“Service is never idle. Seek and ye shall find.”

“Say, ‘Hi, how are you?’ to someone, and mean it. And Listen. And listen.”

“Each person begins the process of recovery. The recovery which comes from within is greater than ourselves.”

“We can’t control Mother Nature. We can control our response.”

Sal will soon be making a second trip to Washington. Through Red Cross training, he knows the average time spent with each disaster victim is eight minutes. In that time, he must assess, respond, and provide what is needed in the way of food, clothing, shelter, and financial assistance.

In addition to Red Cross procedure, Sal adds his personal touch — Laura’s Grace — bags of stuffed animals, toys, crayons, coloring books, blankets, etc. for kids (and adults). These bags have been prepared by Laura McPheil of Winfield, and can be so impactful to those in need.

Between Sal and Laura, more than 1,500 bags of Laura’s Grace have been distributed. Walk into Sal’s business on Main Street in Mt. Pleasant, and the first thing you see are bag upon bag of Laura’s Grace, each with the head of a stuffed animal or doll poking out.

He calls them his “greeters.”

Anyone who knows Sal, knows he is here to serve. Enter his printing business to have your resume printed, and you’ll probably walk out with a plethora of ideas of how to improve your resume, market yourself, and tips on where to find employment.

A high school student once walked into his office looking for used computer parts to build his own computer. Sals makes a deal with the high school student: he will provide all the parts the boy needs, if the boy will agree to donate a computer to someone in need.

Deal struck. What starts with an inquiry, ends with a greater good.

Sal believes in the Butterfly Effect. A little motion here, can have wide sweeping effects — effects you may never see. Each one of us has within us, the power to change the world.

Why does he do this?

“It reduces the noise in our lives so we can hear the angels earning their wings. All of us have issues, trials and tribulations, whether it be with relationships, finances, what to do with our lives, whatever. If you can reach out and touch someone, our problems seem trivial, manageable. Everything will work out.”

Sal’s the one that feels blessed to be connected to those in need.

The Reading Link

Reading enables us to be ideal people

By Christine Pauley Reading Specialist Vivid imagination proves both a gift and a trial.

With a difficult first name, Ella-Louise, I was enthralled with a children’s book in 1981 The Man Whose Name Was Not Thomas by M. Jean Craig and illustrated by Diane Stanley. As most children I enjoyed an imaginary friend. Though I lived in Oklahoma through my reading, I met people from Spain, Africa, England, New York City, Japan, etc. Later, I realized that my “friend” combined characteristics of many people and we enjoyed adventures together.

Very young I learned that a person from Japan or Norway looked different than me, but we were alike inside. I never met an Asian until I was over ten years old, but I held no negative thoughts, because I had already met people like them in stories.

In Oklahoma where I grew up Blacks and “Indians” were equally treated poorly. Though I have Native heritage I look white. One Black friend and I enjoyed a friendship at a very early age. Like all friendships there were spats and teasing. So following in the footsteps of my grandfather, I innocently created another incident in my small hometown.

Johnny and I went for ice cream sodas on a hot sultry day. We ordered our sodas and the man behind the counter said kindly, “Miss Blakely you just drink your soda here at the counter. Johnny will drink his out in back.”

Within a few seconds I realized that I was “Miss Blakely” and Johnny had no title. My granddaddy was good; Johnny’s dad was good.

Though Johnny was embarrassed, I marched outside and drank my soda in back with him. We both took our soda glasses (Yes, I’m that old-before the takeover of paper products.) to the back door.

I’d like to say that prejudice was wiped out, but real life doesn’t work that way. It takes years of practice to build prejudice. It takes much

longer to diminish it. Prejudice has no color or cultural barriers. As a Native American I can be as prejudice as a Caucasian.

Stories expand our world view.

Reading enables us to be ideal people rather than people with few ideas. Our “prior knowledge” (building blocks of comprehension) that we bring to the printed word speeds up comprehension of new material.

As a child we enter the world with much potential and little knowledge. During those first years, we hungrily consume knowledge. We literally feel it, taste it, see it, hear it and explore it. What happens?

Why don’t we pursue knowledge eagerly now? There is little limit on how others fill our minds those first years.

Reading requires us to call up real and imagined experiences to make sense of new material. Everyone around us fill our experience bank—family, friend, stranger. Every visit to a park, farm, city, store, museum, etc. fills our bank. Travel and excursions, both planned and accidental load our experience bank.

Experiences are simple and majestic. Granddaddy looked at the clouds and imagined with me. We went outside at night and looked at the sky. We carefully examined a blade of grass, tree bark, an ant colony, the local depot and more. Every experience enabled me to better understand what I read. Taking time to be quiet in a different setting and letting nature march before us, then discussing different aspects brings a wealth of resources to reading.

Some experiences that help literacy, yet also bring joy to others are visits to older people at home or in care centers, plus visits to hospitals.

By enriching children’s lives in a variety of ways, we make it possible for them to understand more things in our world, thus they become better readers with less chance of becoming a bully.

Adults instigate literacy by participating in it with them, but we don’t always allow a child to observe us while we do it. Little eyes watch us write out monthly checks

or pay online and what an opportunity to explain finances. Also, as we shop for groceries, we show how we determine what to buy and how much information we find on labels.

Children early understand simple reasoning and though they can’t yet read, they can see the squiggles and be reaffirmed that those squiggles make sense. It isn’t long before a child asks you to read the price tag on an item they want. Children that grow in reasoning also grow in understanding why they can’t have something.

Literacy includes reading and writing and more. Most of all literacy means we comprehend and think through what is written by others and what we write ourselves.

Word callers don’t always comprehend. Comprehension is a process that incorporates all that we know by bringing up files in our brains and adding new information. Thus, when we read to a young child we let him/her touch the book and look at the pictures. Occasionally we stop and point out a picture or a word. Periodically we stop and ask a question allowing time for the child to answer.

When a child wants you to read the story again, do so. Often we act as though the prime goal is to get on to the next story. Adults might feel that way, but children just enjoy the story over and over. They want to hear the sounds, or they like something in the story, or they want to review something. Their eager minds grasp details they missed.

My youngest daughter memorized favorite stories. She asked us to read them over and over and corrected us when we missed a word.

Somewhere in the first or second grade a child may want to read the story to you, as well as listen to a story.

Let the child participate. Take time to listen, but don’t put the entire burden on the child. Some words are just too hard, plus children like to hear another voice.

A good system at this age is for each to read one page alternately.

Zach Johnson/Daily News Santa Claus made his arrival at the Jasper County Courthouse in a horse-drawn sleigh during the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual lighted Christmas parade in Newton on Friday.

Lighting Continued from Page 1A The Young Professionals of Jasper County held their annual chili cookoff, with proceeds going toward the Courthouse Lighting Fund. Angie Mowbary of Newton Manufacturing was crowned the new chili champion.

“It went very good; the chili went fast, as usual,” YPJC President Amanda Price said.

“We are making very good progress on donations for the courthouse lighting fund ... It’s bringing more people out and

I hope to have more people participate next year, so we can have more chili to giveaway.”

The cookoff marks the last event for Price as president of the YPJC, a role she has held for two years.

“I am extremely happy that I was a part of the group by being president,” Price said. “I am hoping it will continue to grow and gain more members. I love helping out in the community.”

The master of ceremonies of the parade was Iowa Speedway Director of Communications Craig Armstrong. He entertained those in attendance telling stories of past years and

Skiff has created a strategic partnership with Philips Healthcare, allowing them the ability to establish a worldclass imaging center, with state-of-the-art technology and better equipment to provide patients with fast, accurate diagnoses. The technology provided in the imaging center is without comparison in the state of Iowa and has been a mechanism to expand the market for Skiff ’s diagnostic imaging services outside the borders of Jasper County.”

Several Skiff employees attended the ceremony, including Chief Operating Officer Brett Altman.

“It is my pleasure to accept this award on behalf of our two dozen radiology employees and our dedicated 360 employee back at the hospital,” Altman said.

an innovative business plan, as well as the innovative technology that came along with it, and was the vision of Jane Hettinger, our Radiology Director, our radiologist Dr. Paul Groben and our CEO Steve Long, to form a strategic partnership with Philips, which helped us to obtain the best imaging equipment available in the world, right down the road in Newton.”

The technology put in place during the transition to the Philips Imaging Center included one of the first 1.5-Tesla broadband digital MRI in the U.S. with the Ambient Experience, a package of video, lights and sound designed to relax patients. The upgrade also featured the installation of a 128-slice CT scanner, with about 50 percent less radiation than comparable machines on the market, and a digital Xray room.

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

Monday, December 2, 2013

Compassionate friends help parents cope with their loss DEAR ABBY: My little girl was born with a heart defect. She made it through the first heart surgery, but passed away a week later right in front of me while the doctors and nurses tried to save her.

As the date of her death gets closer, I am becoming more and more depressed.

How can I remember her and share my memories in a good way when all I want to do is stay in bed and cry? — HEARTBROKEN MOMMY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR MOMMY: I am so sorry for your loss. A way to remember your little girl and share those memories would be to contact a group called The Compassionate Friends. It’s a national self-help support organization for families grieving the death of a child and was started to help families cope with the loss of children of any age and from any cause.

It sponsors a worldwide candle lighting on the second Sunday of December each year. The event is held at 7 p.m. local time and lasts for one hour. Services are also held throughout the day in hundreds of locations in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., as well as in other countries around the world. You can post a memorial message for your daughter in the online memorial book.

To locate a service near you and learn more about the work this organization does and what it offers, visit www.compassionatefriends.org, or call toll-free 877-969-0010. This is a valuable resource for anyone who has lost a child.

DEAR ABBY: I recently went on a business trip that required me to share meals with my co-workers. I became the target of criticism from them over my eating habits because I like to eat my dessert first. It doesn’t keep me from eating the rest of the meal; I just do it in a different order than most people.

When the subject came up, I tried to explain that because I wasn’t allowed to do it as a child, I swore that when I was an adult, I’d eat my food in any order I wanted. But lately, it has failed to diffuse the tension.

I don’t think I’m being rude. I do this only at restaurants where it’s possible to order dessert at the same time as the meal. I’d never do it when I’m a guest in someone’s home.

Do you think I’m being rude? Should I eat in a more conventional way to avoid flak from people I’m dining with? — SWEET TOOTH IN COLORADO DEAR SWEET TOOTH: I’m not your mother, so I’ll refrain from lecturing you about the empty calories you consume, which reduce your appetite for the healthy food you “should” be eating at mealtime. And yes, I do think what you’re doing is rude because it is obviously making your eating companions uncomfortable, or you wouldn’t be getting flak along with your dessert.

DEAR ABBY: After 31 years of marriage, my wife and I have split up. We love each other, but after the kids moved out we realized we have little in common.

What is an appropriate Christmas gift for an ex-wife? We are on friendly terms and will probably spend the holidays together with our children. I don’t want to give a gift that will offend or encourage her. — FREE MAN IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR FREE MAN: How about a gift card from her favorite store, or a lovely scarf or colorful shawl, or if she has a hobby, something to do with it? None of them would send the wrong message.

Iowa State fires two football assistant coaches

Newton swimmers glide to win over Rams

AMES, Iowa (AP) — A late-season flourish wasn’t enough to save Iowa State offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham’s job.

Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads announced Sunday that Messingham and running backs coach Kenith Pope had been fired less than 24 hours afRhoads ter Iowa State closed out a 3-9 season with a 52-44 triple-overtime win at West Virginia.

Messingham had been with Rhoads for five seasons, the last two as offensive coordinator. But the Cyclones averaged just 24.8 points a game this season and rank Messingham 89th nationally with 143.8 yards rushing per game.

“I want to thank both Courtney and Kenith for their service to Iowa State,” Rhoads said. “They have great character and work ethic, and have been excellent ambassadors for the university and community. They worked hard to help elevate our program and have been an important part of the success we have had in this program the last five years.”

The Cyclones say that Rhoads won’t have additional comment on the moves for at least two weeks.

Messingham was promoted to receivers coach to offensive coordinator before the 2012 season after Tom Herman left to join coach Urban Meyer at Ohio State.

The Cyclones could never sustain much consistency on offense under Messingham — though an everchanging quarterback situation had a lot to do with that.

Three different quarterbacks started for Iowa State last season as it finished 6-7 and lost in the Liberty Bowl. Incumbent Sam Richardson hurt his ankle in a season-opening loss to Northern Iowa in September and was never the same.

Neither were the Cyclones.

Iowa State’s inexperienced offensive line was decimated by injuries, and at one point the Cyclones lost seven games in a row before bouncing back with wins over Kansas and the Mountaineers to close the season.

Though Pope Pope had a deep talent pool to work with at running back, his players were left to work behind that same patchwork line. No Iowa State running back averaged more than 4 yards a carry this season.

PLEASANT HILL — Newton’s boys swim team picked up right where it left off last season in the opener at Southeast Polk on Tuesday, Nov. 26, getting a team victory over the Rams, 101-69.

Newton coach Dave Hook was understandably pleased with the relatively young team’s performance saying, “Everyone did a great job. It was a great way to kick off the season.”

Some of the standouts included sophomore Austin Bunker, who finished first in both the 200-yard freestyle (1 minute, 54.66 seconds) and the 500 freestyle (5:30.87.). Bunker was also on the first-placing 400 freestyle (3:35.09) and 200 medley

(1:45.66) relay teams.

Also swimming with Bunker on the 200 medley and 400 freestyle teams were Aaron King, Isaak Webb and Jake Lensing. NewBunker ton’s team of Paul DeHart, Jeff Fitzgerald, Reese Rosenquist and Josh Bailey finished third in the 200 medley at 2:09.35. Christian Laube, Clay Trotter, Landon King and DeHart placed third as a team in the 400 freestyle at 4:13.71.

Lensing took first in the 100 breaststroke at 1:04.04. Lensing was

also the fastest 200 individual medley swimmer at 2:13.66. Landon King placed third in the 200 individual medley at 2:31.61.

Josh Bailey won the 100 backstroke at 1:05.13 and was followed

by Aaron King in third at 1:06.31.

Bailey finished second in the 100 freestyle at 55.61 seconds. Webb and Fitzgerald swam 1-2 in the 50 freestyle, swimming 23.39 and 25.81 seconds, respectively.

The Kings finished 1-2 in the 100 butterfly. Aaron King won the event at 1:03.40 followed by Landon King at 1:06.64.

Newton’s junior varsity team lost, 44-22.

Newton’s swimmers hit the water again on Thursday at Waukee High School.

Iowa wrestlers dominate Iowa State AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State’s wrestling program has shown marked improvement this season.

That doesn’t mean the Cyclones are ready to compete at Iowa’s level just yet.

Iowa won seven of 10 matches and beat host Iowa State 23-9 Sunday in their annual wrestling dual meet.

The fourth-ranked Hawkeyes (40) beat the rival Cyclones for the 10th straight time and claimed the Dan Gable Traveling Trophy for the fourth time in as many tries.

Top-ranked Derek St. John beat Iowa State’s John Nicholson 5-1 to clinch the meet for Iowa, which scored a pair of major decisions but also left some points on the mat.

“We missed some scoring positions,” Iowa coach Tom Brands said. “What we have to know coming in here is that they’re going to be coached to strategize...and we’ve got to beat that. And I think they did a pretty good job of doing what they wanted to do in some of those matches where they kept it close enough where they can maybe win in the end, and we’ve got to handle that better.”

Kyven Gadson, Quean Smith and Luke Goettl posted wins for the Cyclones (5-1), who nonetheless emerged confident about their chances for the rest of the season — and against the Hawkeyes in the future.

“We’re better than what we showed. I know it, they know it. And we’re going to continue to improve, and we’re going to beat the Hawks. We’re going to beat them, and it’s coming,” Iowa State coach Kevin Jackson said.

It didn’t happen this time though.

St. John Iowa’s Cory Clark, ranked fourth nationally at 125 pounds, survived a furious rally by Earl Hall to win 8-7 on riding time and put the Hawkeyes up 10-6 at intermission.

Cubs prove too much for Mustangs

By Dustin Turner Daily News Sports Writer NEVADA — Prairie City-Monroe’s girls basketball team took a tough loss to Heart of Iowa Conference rivals Nevada on Tuesday, Nov. 26. The Mustangs’ trip to Nevada ended in a 52-34 loss.

PCM fought toeto-toe with the Cubs throughout the first half, only trailing 22-17 at the

break, but a third-quarter run by the Cubs put PCM in a double-digit hole they were unable to climb out of.

Trailing 39-26 going into the final period, the Mustangs needed an offensive surge and were unable to find one. The Cubs took the final quarter by a score of 13-8 en route to their first victory of the season.

Nevada’s Kati Cassa-

baum took advantage of the Mustangs’ lack of size, grabbing 19 total rebounds for the Cubs. She added 13 points to make it a doubledouble.

Broncos stave off Chiefs’ rally KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs had no answer for Peyton Manning and Eric Decker.

In two tries this season, they haven’t had an answer for the Denver Broncos, either.

Manning threw for 403 yards and five touchdowns, four of them to Decker, and the Broncos held off a furious rally to beat the Chiefs 35-28 on Sunday and seize control of the AFC West.

Decker had eight catches for a career-high 174 yards for the Broncos (10-2), who moved a game clear of the Chiefs (9-3) in the division.

With four games left, Denver also holds the tiebreaker by virtue two wins over Kansas City in the last three weeks. The Broncos have the AFC’s best record.

Jamaal Charles had 93 yards rushing for the Chiefs, and capped a 17play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run with 6:32 left in the game to close within a touchdown.

After forcing a punt with 3:32 remaining, Kansas City used three long pass plays to move deep into Broncos territory. But Alex Smith’s pass to Dwayne Bowe in the end zone on fourthand-4 with 1:45 left fell incomplete, allowing the Broncos to run out the clock.

Cyclones beat Mountaineers in 3 OTs MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Redshirt freshman Grant Rohach threw a 25- yard touchdown pass to Justin Coleman in the third overtime and Iowa State came from 24 points down to beat West Virginia 52-44 on Saturday night.

Rohach finished with four TD passes and ran for a fifth score Rohach as the Cyclones (3-9, 2-7 Big 12) finished a disappointing season with two straight wins.

Rohach completed 25 of 39 passes for a season-high 331 yards.

The Mountaineers (4-8, 2-7) led 31-7 early in the second quarter but had four turnovers after halftime and ended the year with six losses in their final seven games. West Virginia couldn’t hold onto another second-half

lead, the fourth time in six games that’s happened.

Iowa State forced overtime on Rohach’s 19-yard TD toss to Coleman with a minute left. The teams traded field goals in the first two overtimes.

After Rohach’s TD to Coleman in the third overtime, Rohach threw a two- point conversion pass to tight end E.J. Bibbs. Starting with the third overtime, teams are required to attempt two-point conversions after scoring touchdowns.

West Virginia advanced to the 4 on its third-overtime possession but couldn’t score. Daikeil Shorts caught Clint Trickett’s fourth-down pass short of the goal line.

Trickett’s 76-yard scoring pass to Mario Alford early in the fourth quarter gave West Virginia a 38-21 lead.

But Iowa State scored the final 17 points of regulation.

Trickett completed 21 of 37 passes for 356 yards and two scores. Alford had eight catches for 215 yards.

Charles Sims ran for 149 yards and two scores, but he was limited to 30 yards after halftime.

Sims became West Virginia’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2009. He finished the season with 1,095 yards.

West Virginia led 31-7 after Sims scored on a 76-yard run early in the second quarter. But the Mountaineers then went scoreless over a 25-minute stretch, allowing Iowa State to come back.

Cole Netten’s 31-yard field goal with 4:21 left in the game brought the Cyclones within 38-31.

Jacques Washington then ripped the ball from West Virginia wide receiver Kevin White at the Mountaineers 33 with 2:46 left. Rohach hit Coleman with the tying score on third down to send it into overtime.

West Virginia couldn’t get into field-goal range as time ran out in regulation.

Despite going three-and-out on its first four possessions, Iowa State outgained West Virginia 575-568.

Hawkeyes roll over Cornhuskers LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — After the final seconds ticked off, Iowa’s players stampeded from their sideline to the other to take ownership of the Heroes Game trophy.

A few minutes later in the locker room, the players held their helmets up and let out a primal scream for about 10 seconds that could be heard throughout the bowels of Memorial Stadium.

Yes, the Hawkeyes were in a partying mood after they beat Nebraska 38-17 to complete one of the great turnarounds in major-college football.

A year ago, the Hawks ended a fourwin season with a 13-7 loss to Nebraska.

Iowa (8-4, 5-3 Big Ten) has doubled its win total and is in position to receive a berth in the Outback Bowl on New Year’s Day. “Complete opposite. That’s the story of the day,” receiver Kevonte MartinManley said. “We finished 8-4 with a win. It’s a complete 360. This is one of the best wins I’ve been a part of since I’ve been here.”

The Huskers (8-4, 5-3) finished with their fewest regular-season wins since 2008, coach Bo Pelini’s first year as head coach, and lost three home games in a season for the first time since 2007 under Bill Callahan.

The focus at Nebraska now shifts to whether first-year athletic director Shawn Eichorst will retain Pelini, who was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for protesting a pass-interference call in the third quarter. Pelini is 57-24 and under contract through the 2017

No. 23 Iowa falls to Villanova

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — Iowa was rolling, holding a double-digit lead for much of the night and looking poised to fly home with a tournament championship on its resume.

That is, until the Hawkeyes went cold at the absolute wrong time.

The 23rd-ranked Hawkeyes were outscored 21-2 over a long stretch of the second half, and after fighting to get into overtime, they wound up losing to Villanova 88-83 on Saturday night in the title game at the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Devyn Marble led all scorers with 24 points for Iowa (7-1). Zach McCabe scored 14 and Mike Gesell added 10 for the Hawkeyes, who scored the first three points of overtime but never led again.

“It was two really good teams going at each other,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “Both teams have experience. Both teams have some young guys who are playing well. That’s why you come here. We’re thrilled for the opportunity to be here in this environment and my hope is ... we can learn from some of the mistakes we made tonight.”

Villanova coach Jay Wright was duly impressed by what he saw from Iowa.

“That’s a helluva team,” Wright said. “They run offense as well as any team we’ve played.”

Iowa would probably say the same thing about Villanova’s flair for coming up big at the right moments.

A second straight night, against a ranked opponent, and all accompanied by plenty of dramatics.

It’s brought out the best in Villanova (7-0).

Tournament MVP James Bell scored 20 points and sparked the huge Villanova rally and Josh Hart added

Monday, December 2, 2013

16 off the bench for the Wildcats.

“We’ve got a lot of heart,” Wright said. “We’ve got good depth. Our young guys are growing up. Still only November, though. We’ve got a long way to go.”

Maybe, maybe not. Within a span of about 24 hours, Villanova took down No. 2 Kansas and an unbeaten Hawkeye team.

JayVaughn Pinkston scored 14 points and Ryan Arcidiacono added 13 for the Wildcats, who got two big offensive rebounds in the final seconds of overtime. Kris Jenkins scored five of his 10 points in overtime for Villanova, which was down by 15 in the first half.

“We just have great chemistry,” said Arcidiacono, whose team outrebounded Iowa 48-36. “No one’s in it for themselves, anything like that.

We’re all in it for the team, we all love each other and we all battle for each other.”

Down by 12 with 11 minutes left in regulation, Bell turned the game around with a trio of 3-pointers in a span of 72 seconds. It started a 21-2 burst over a 9-minute stretch by the Wildcats and when Pinkston made a pair of free throws with 4:32 left the lead was 64-57.

“We had to stay with what we do,” Bell said. “We played Villanova basketball to the end ... and we believed it was good enough.”

Ultimately, it was. Still, Iowa didn’t make it easy.

An 8-0 run put the Hawkeyes back on top, Marble’s three-point play with 2:59 left giving Iowa a 65-64 edge.

The dramatics just kept coming from there.

“We’ve got to give them credit,” Marble said. “They came out in the second half, made the adjustments and made the winning plays.”

season. He’s paid almost $3 million a year.

“If they want to fire me, go ahead,” Pelini told reporters after the game. “I believe in what I’ve done. I don’t apologize to you. I don’t apologize to anybody, myself or this staff. My record, our record since I’ve been here, speaks for itself. And this program is heading in a good direction.

“You choose not to think so, that’s your prerogative. All I know is myself, this staff, the people who have been associated with this program since I’ve been here can look themselves in the mirror and feel good about what they’ve done.”

Jake Rudock threw for two touchdowns, including a 24-yarder to MartinManley right after Iowa had stuffed Nebraska on a fake punt in the third quarter.

The Hawkeyes converted two of Nebraska’s three turnovers into touchdowns and got a short field for a third TD after the failed fake punt. Seven of Iowa’s 14 possessions started on the Cornhuskers’ side of the 50.

The Hawkeyes have won four of five after a 4-3 start. Their four losses this season have come against teams that have a combined record of 42-3.

“Our focus — as it has been since the end of last November — was just to try to improve, working hard and maximizing our opportunities,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “This is kind of the formula we’ve tried to use. The reason why it has materialized is because our players have done the work that they have to do.”

Mark Weisman ran 24 times for 72 yards and two touchdowns for the Hawkeyes, and Rudock was 9 of 15 for 126 yards and two TDs. Rudock left late in the third quarter with a sprained knee.

Ameer Abdullah carried 23 times for 85 yards, the first time in nine games that he failed to rush for 100 yards. Ron Weisman Kellogg III, making his first career start, was 19 of 37 for 199 yards and a touchdown. He was intercepted twice in the first quarter.

Rudock’s backup, C.J. Beathard, went three-and-out on his first full series, but the Hawkeyes got the ball right back when Abdullah fumbled at the Iowa 39.

Jordan Canzeri went 37 yards on first down, and Weisman scored from the 2 to put the Hawkeyes up 31-17. Beathard ran 4 yards on a bootleg for the final margin.

The Huskers had come from behind in the fourth quarter in each of their three November wins, but it wasn’t meant to be.

“It’s Big Ten football, and you’re going to have to grind it out,” Weisman said.

“Nothing’s going to come easy. It didn’t today. Props to Jordan. That big run was a huge spark for us. We got that fumble and his run. That’s what we needed out there.”

Chiefs: Decker shows off speed

Wrestling: Hawkeyes feel sense of urgency

Continued from Page 7A for another score as the Chiefs jumped out to a 21-7 lead.

The Broncos promptly scored 28 straight points to take control.

Denver did it without of slew of injured players, including three starters on defense and tight end Julius Thomas, who has developed into one of Manning’s favorite red-zone targets.

No need to worry. Decker more than shouldered the burden.

The fourth-year pro caught a 41-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, two more TD passes in the third and a short fade for a score in the fourth quarter. Most of the time, Decker was abusing Chiefs defensive back Marcus Cooper, an undrafted free agent who’d become a starter.

Manning now has 41 TD passes, breaking his franchise record of 37 set last season.

The Broncos rebounded nicely from a disheartening overtime loss last week in New England, and are poised to get coach John Fox back on Monday.

They went 3-1 under interim coach Jack Del Rio, who stepped in when Fox needed heart surgery during the team’s bye week.

The Chiefs, who lost for the third straight week, squandered far too many chances on Sunday, including one right of the gate.

They had marched deep into Broncos territory before Smith was picked off by Wesley Woodyard in the end zone.

Continued from Page 7A Top-ranked Tony Ramos then opened things up with another dominant performance.

Ramos crushed redshirt f re s h m a n Dakota Bauer 165, which included 3:43 of riding time.

J o s h Dziewa made it Dziewa 17-6 Iowa with a 12-5 decision of Gabe Moreno. Goettl’s dramatic takedown of previously-unbeaten Mike Kelly kept Iowa State alive, and though Nicholson gave St. John a spirited match he could only muster a point on the defending NCAA champion.

A sense of urgency exists for the proud Iowa program, which has watched fellow Big Ten power Penn State win three consecutive NCAA team titles.

The Cyclones have struggled since coach Cael Sanderson left for the Nittany Lions, and last season they suffered their biggest loss at the hands of the Hawkeyes, 32-3.

But Jackson’s rebuilding efforts had started to show tangible results in 2013-14. The Cyclones opened with five straight wins for the first time in six years.

Stein creating local memories since 2001

Thanksgiving takes more Black Friday sales

By Zach Johnson Daily News Staff Writer Disc Jockey Todd Stein, owner and president of Live Super DJ service, has been a major part in the nightlife of not only Newton, but in Iowa as well. He started working as a DJ at the age of 15 in 1985 and is still spinning tunes heading into 2014.

“I worked through high school and college in radio, doing private events on the side,” Stein said.

He is a 1992 graduate of Central College in Pella with a degree in communications.

He worked at the college radio station as well as two area professional radio stations in the Pella and Knoxville area.

“I worked at Flirts Night Club from late 1991 part-time going full-time after graduating from college. Flirts was located at the University Park at the Holiday Inn in West Des Moines. I also was the DJ at Sneakers in Des Moines being my two residences,” said Stein. “I worked in college at KINA and KRLS the Pella and Knoxville stations in the sports department as well as being a DJ at his college radio station KCUI worked his way up to station manager.”

Stein left his career as DJ to pursue a career in restaurant management in the late 90s. He then came back and started up Live Super DJ service, which brought him to the Newton area in 2001. He has worked at several venues in Newton as well as opening up his own bar in Newton called Steins.

“When I founded my company in 2001, I started working at the old Diamond Daves being a DJ and doing karaoke out there,” Stein said. “I also worked at Auggies for a year and half and at Rumors for a year. I opened up my own bar, Steins, and for three years, while running my DJ company. I have been working with the Manhattan for four years and with the Scoreboard for five years.”

In his 22 years of service, his shows have seen many transitions, but he has always delivered on bringing everyone what they want.

“For bar performances, expect upbeat, fun music no matter if its a dance song or classic rock song,” Stein said. “Most venues I work at have a wide demographic that they want to try to please. That is why we rotate the music give everyone a chance to like something. It’s kind of like the Iowa weather; if you don’t like the weather, stick around a little bit and it will change.”

Since starting his business in 2001 he has seen major transitions in music trends and

technology. The Live Super DJ service also offers karaoke, wedding shows, booking entertainment, and much more.

The service has 90,000 songs.

“I am happy to book all these services for anyone who is interested,” Stein said.

He has made a living playing the music of others, but tries to give back to those who will keep his business going for years to come. He is an administrator of the Facebook page Iowa Bar Bands, which has benefited not only big city bands, but area bands as well.

“Iowa Bar Bands on Facebook is a grassroots effort to support live and local music,” Stein said “I make my money playing other people’s music, so this is a small way to give back to musicians especially working musicians in Iowa, so far its been widely appreciated.”

Newton bands have benefited from Iowa Bar Bands including Wikid Likir, Rockhound. In the Colfax area, Richard Arndt, as well as many bands out of Des Moines and Cedar Rapids as well.

He will be doing all of his holiday party services in Newton this year, working at both the Manhattan and the Scoreboard on Dec. 21. He will be celebrating the end of 2013 at the Manhattan.

“I will be doing a holiday party at both the Scoreboard and Manhattan, I have three other trained DJs, working with me and I can rotate

them,” Stein said “I have two of them working that night and I will be floating back and forth between the venues. On New Years Eve, we’re booked at the Manhattan.”

In his career, he has many highlights, but some he will always remember.

“One of the biggest events I have ever done I was asked to work in Las Vegas for the International Mobile Beat conference and show,” Stein said.

In 2004, one of the classic dance club songs and trends was the “Cha-Cha Slide” by Casper. Stein took part of this major trend in music.

“I was the DJ and ran sound for Casper who actually performed the ‘Cha-Cha Slide,’ which was pretty big for me,” Stein said.

Working in Newton, he has developed many local memories and highlights.

“I will always remember introducing music videos to the DJ services here in Newton.

The community has been phenomenal it has been widely accepted and appreciated,” Stein said. “I have also done many RAGBRI events. I will always remember doing a benefit for my good friend Mike Lawler when he lost his mom to see the community support at the event was phenomenal.”

Thanksgiving Day is no longer all about turkey: It’s eating away at Black Friday shopping.

U.S. shoppers spent $9.74 billion on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. That’s a drop of 13.2 percent compared with last year, according to data released on Saturday by research firm ShopperTrak.

The decline appears to show that more Americans shopped on the holiday itself: Combined spending on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, which had been considered the official start to the holiday buying season until this year, rose 2.3 percent to $12.3 billion.

The data reflects that Thanksgiving, which along with Christmas was one of two days a year that most stores were closed, is becoming an important day for major retailers.

Black Friday is a time when big retailers open early and offer deep discounts, but a few started opening and offering those discounts on Thanksgiving a couple years ago. And this year, at least a dozen did so, with a few opening earlier in the holiday than they did last year.

The National Retail Federation, a retail trade group, predicted that 33 million, or almost a quarter, of the 140 million people who planned to shop during the four-day holiday weekend that ends on Sunday, would do so on Thanksgiving. Analysts had questioned whether the holiday openings would steal sales away from Black Friday or result in people spending more overall.

“Retailers were pretty successful in drawing the consumers into the stores on Thursday,” said ShopperTrak founder Bill Martin, whose company counts how many shoppers go into about 40,000 stores in U.S. But “Thursday’s sales came at the expense of Black Friday’s numbers.”

The decline in sales on Black Friday was the second one in a row. Last year, sales on that day dropped 1.8 percent to $11.2 billion, though it still was the biggest shopping day last year, according to ShopperTrak.

Despite the big drop this year, Shoppertrak’s Martin said he thinks Black Friday will remain the biggest shopping day of the year for the 10th consecutive year. But if retailers continue to promote Thanksgiving as the start of the holiday buying season, he thinks the holiday will eventually surpass Black Friday in sales.

“We’re just taking Black Friday sales and spreading them across a larger number of days,” Martin said.

There will be a clearer picture of sales for the first holiday shopping weekend on Sunday when The National Retail Federation releases data.

Overall, the retail trade group expects sales to be up 3.9 percent to $602 billion for the season, which encompasses the last two months of the year. That’s higher than last year’s 3.5 percent growth, but below the 6 percent pace seen before the recession.

Some retailers said the holiday shopping season is off to a good start. Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, said it sold 2 million TVs and 1.4 million tablets on the Thanksgiving, while Macy’s said 15,000 people showed up to the 8 p.m. opening of its flagship New York City store on the holiday.

Edwin Molina, 30, a New Yorker who works in construction, waited with his wife in line for an hour at a Best Buy that opened at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving. He said he likes the holiday openings. “It was better, less hectic,” he said.

But not everyone liked the earlier start to the shopping season. Workers’ rights groups and some shoppers led small protests to decry the way some store employees had to miss holiday meals at home.

And as his wife shopped in a mall near Atlanta on Black Friday, Curtis Akins, 51, sat on a bench, lamenting the holiday openings.

“It’s taking away from the traditional Thanksgiving,” Akins said.

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market fizzled Friday at the end of a holiday-shortened trading day, but still logged its longest streak of weekly gains in a decade.

Investors watched for early trends in holiday sales as the busiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday, got underway. Retailers were one of two industry groups in the S&P 500 to rise.

The broad stock index saw two of its 10 industry groups rise. One of them was consumer discretionary companies as investors hoped for improved holiday sales.

H E A LT H S E R V I C E S Retail sales are expected to rise 4 percent to $602 billion during the last two months of the year, according to the National Retail Federation. That’s higher Monday - Thursday: 8am -7pm than last year’s 3.5 percent growth, but lower than the 6 percent pace from before Friday: 8am - 5pm the recession.
