Longtime McDonald’s employee making a difference

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News

Justin Jagler/Daily News St. Nick’s Christmas Club volunteers organize boxes of food Thursday night at the American Legion.

The Season of Giving

One day a week, a friendly face can be found greeting customers at McDonald’s on First Avenue East.

Even though Debbie Annee is mentally challenged and also has some minor physical disabilities, she doesn’t let her special needs keep her from smiling.

At 57 years old, Annee has been an employee at the restaurant for 13.5 years.

Debbie’s mom Nancy said she sees the joy it

brings to her daughter and to others when Debbie is at McDonald’s.

“She loves people — she’s a very people person,” Nancy said. “I have had people tell me that Debbie is the highlight of their day.”

Because of Debbie’s disability you can’t expect 100 percent out of her all of the time, Nancy said.

“We’re working on that,” she said. “She has a work trainer who is there with her every day, Doug Dobbie.”

St. Nick’s Christmas Club marks another successful year

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News St. Nick’s Christmas Club gathered Thursday night at the American Legion to put together boxes of food and prepare for Friday’s day of giving. More than 200 families and 600 children will benefit from St. Nick’s efforts this holiday season.

It was a collective effort. The club provides clothes and toys to area children in need. Each “adopted” family also receives a large box of food containing staples like pasta and cereal.

Julie Bak has been with St.

Nick’s since it began 28 years ago.

She said it is the entire community, not just the club, that deserves credit.

Help came from many sources again this year. Volunteers shopped at Fareway, and the grocery store chipped in boxes to help carry the goods. The Newton High School wrestling team helped load up trucks with groceries.

Most of the volunteers at the American Legion on Thursday were from Black Hills Energy. St. Luke United Methodist Church contributed more than 600 books, Mojo Cycling of Newton

donated refurbished bikes and volunteers knitted baby sweaters and hats.

St. Nick’s illustrates a community united and Russ and Lori Leix, of Newton, were happy to be a part of it.

“There’s a sense of appreciation for the community because this is a generous community,” Russ Leix said. “Churches, manufacturers, businesses, individuals, Salvation Army — everybody gives, and we all make it work.”

Lori Leix said it’s phenomenal to be able to help kids in good ST. NICK’S | 3A

TJ Elementary embraces candy house tradition Kindergartners decorate candy houses

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Brooke Moppitt, a kindergartener, left, and Molly Meyer, right, participate in Thomas Jefferson’s holiday tradition Thursday of decorating candy houses as Brooke reaches for some frosting.

Candy canes, gum drops and licorice were among the colorful toppings Thomas Jefferson kindergartners used to skillfully decorate their candy houses Thursday.

The annual tradition allows parents and volunteers to participate and spend at least 30 minutes with the students in the

holiday spirit.

Kindergarten teacher Marla Corey said teachers and students have embraced the messy fun for the last seven years.

Corey said 52 students participated this year as they rotated from two other classrooms to participate in various holiday related activities.

“There are nine different groups of students and we started at 8:15

a.m., and it is going on all day until 2:15,” Corey said.

Rachel and Tim Elliott helped their son Hunter frost his graham cracker walls and they even incorporated a door and door knob to complete the mini house.

“I like being able to do something at school with him,” Rachel said.

City website among council topics for Monday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council will cover a wide variety of topics on Monday during its last meeting of the year. Some of the items on the agenda include the redesign of the city website, an endorsement of Graphic Packaging Interna-

tional, extending tax abatements and working with Polk County Area Fire and Rescue services.

In many recent discussions by city council and staff, the city’s website has been brought up as an area that needs improvement. As a part of the 2017-2019 Action Plan, the city has made updating the

website a priority and is looking to work with CivicPlus to make the changes.

CivicPlus designed the current website in 2011 and will go before the council with a price of more than $26,000 to do the redesign. The process could take as long as 22 weeks with a projected launch of the new website in summer 2017.

Berg Middle School after-school program funded by late benefactor Dickinson left $12,000 for specific need

By Mark D. Hallam Special to Newton Daily News There were many ways the late Elizabeth “Betty” Dickinson tried to improve the lives of young people.

Dickinson, whose life was described in a Nov. 25 story in the Newton Daily News, d o n at e d enough money to have a University of Iowa scholDickinson arship set up in her name when she passed away in January. She also left $12,000 for a specific after-school program.

Berg Middle School Assistant Principal Amy Shannon said while BMS has had after-school academic support for years, a more multi-faceted program will be most welcome.

“Families across the country are beginning to recognize the tremendous benefits a quality after-school program can provide,” Shannon said.

“Because they can offer an array of activities not always available during the traditional school day, these programs give students many opportunities for growth and learning they might not find elsewhere.”

Dickinson donated the money through a grant to the Newton Community Educational Foundation. The innovative after-school program will integrate academic support into a larger program that promotes the social, emotional and physical development of students.

File Photo A new program at Berg Middle School was funded through the estate of the late Elizabeth “Betty” Dickinson. The program allows students to focus on their academic, social, emotional and physical development in an afterschool program

Dickinson, who graduated as salutatorian from Newton High School in 1943, helped many hundreds of Newton alumni by administering the Maytag Scholarship Program during her 39-year career with the Maytag Foundation. She is also remembered for her extensive church and community involvement as a lifelong member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, she served as a Eucharistic Minister and was a director/officer of the Sacred Heart Cemetery Association.

Dickinson, who never married or had children, participated as a volunteer for numerous organizations including

Project AWAKE, the Newton Transformation Council and the Newton chapter of Dollars for Scholars.

The legacy of Elizabeth Dickinson’s commitment to Newton students continues with this grant. Berg Middle School uses a program called Campus Connect, where students have access to teachers for assistance with homework, to prepare for tests and collaborate on assignments.

Participants then transition to a club of their choice for the remainder of the afternoon.

The grant provides funding for opportunities for reading contests, painting, drawing, music and physical development in

Three different sessions are planned during the school year so students can develop new skills and talents in many different areas. Shannon did not have exact dates available about when the club would meet this year.

NCEF President Mark Allen said his organization would not normally be able to help fund such a program without such a generous donation.

with black bags filled with Christmas gifts for children.

Each bag has a number on it, and each family will receive a corresponding number.

The tables that were used in assembly-line fashion on Thursday to put together the food boxes will be covered with additional donations. Bak said some donor families go above and beyond. Each child will receive at least one outfit and one item from their wish list, but some will be lucky enough to receive more because of the community’s generosity.

She said the club provided a bed for nine children who were sleeping on the floor last year. “We don’t take any money.

We give it all back,� Lori Leix said. “We just want them to have a merry Christmas.�

In addition to the food donations, a large space in the American Legion is stocked

Bak said the preparation is all necessary, but it is not the fun part. Seeing the children react is what makes it all worthwhile. “There’s 225 families. There’s 600 kids — they’re going to have a little merrier Christmas than they would have without (St. Nick’s),� Bak said. “The little ones, their eyes light up.�

With 28 years of experience, the club knows what it is doing. The process of putting together the food boxes was streamlined and completed in 30 minutes.

Rose Evans is in her second year of participating with St. Nick’s. She has a master’s degree in reading and understands the importance of books. She is active within St. Luke United Methodist Church and dedicates much of her time to getting books in the hands of children in need. “Some kids just don’t have any books in the house at all,� Evans said. “So we decided would be nice to give each child, in addition to this other stuff, a new book.�

Continued from Page 1A For this project, the city’s existing three-year industrial property tax abatement scale would provide the required match.

A public hearing will be held to amend the City of Newton CityWide Urban Revitalization Plan to extend the tax abatement program in place. The plan currently provides tax abatement for new construction and the city is proposing to extend the program an additional seven years.

Finally, a partnership is being proposed between Newton and the Polk County Area Fire and Rescue services. As a part of the agreement, agencies would request personnel or equipment subject to availability in the event of a large scale emergency.

Each department providing assistance has the sole discretion to determine availability. The agencies also will not charge for the provision of services unless the incident lasts 12 hours or longer.

Then, do the same while twisting to your left. Go ahead and repeat this entire routine 10 times.

Next, grab a seat. While keeping your back straight and your arms straight at your sides, but slightly bent at the elbow, lift your arms in front of you and up toward your head. Hold for a count of five and then return to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

Now you’ll use that same chair as exercise equipment.

Hold the top of it with the seat away from you. With your feet shoulder-length apart, hold on to the top of the chair while lifting yourself onto the toes of both feet. Hold at the full extent for five seconds.

Next, rock on your feet so the weight transfers to the heels and your toes come off the ground a bit. Again, hold for five seconds. Repeat 5 times.

Holiday prep T

he holidays always makes for a busy time of year. For me, it’s a special time because I always spend the month, or sometimes two months, ahead of the big day planning for gift giving, Christmas treats and fun times with family.

I have people in my family who are easy to buy for and people who are not.

I think everyone can relate to that.

I honestly don’t need much in return for my gift giving. I get so much more out of finding and giving a nice present that getting a few things in return is just an added bonus. I don’t want to sound ungrateful. On the contrary, my loved ones put a lot of thought into the gifts they give me, and it would be a slap in the face to them if I didn’t celebrate a little over the new treasures I receive.

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers This past weekend my boyfriend, Tim, and I planned to knock out the rest of our Christmas shopping. Before we went, we needed to wrap what we already bought to know what else we needed to buy.

We have been keeping the gifts at my apartment; so in preparation of him coming over, I wrapped all of his gifts just so he could start guessing what I had gotten him. I’ll give him credit. He didn’t walk over and shake all of them right off the bat. He did ask if he could, but we got so, shall we say, wrapped up in the other gifts I don’t think he touched his.

Gift wrapping to me has always been a group task. When my sib-

lings and I were old enough to help, we would join in an assembly line of cutting, taping and tagging gifts for the holidays. The past few years, I’ve been doing my own wrapping, so, it was particularly fun to have Tim’s help this year.

Everyone has their own technique when it comes to wrapping presents.

Tim was very good at it, making each package look pretty as they began to pile up. I always put on a Christmas movie for the occasion, and we got through “Home Alone” and “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” before the first wave of wrapping was complete.

The next day, we hit the stores trying to find presents for everyone else on our list. We came close, but we still have a few things we need to find.

Hopefully by next weekend we can put a bow on it — pun intended.

No matter what gifts are given or received, remember to just enjoy the

time with loved ones. Not everyone is blessed enough to get to share the holiday season. Be thankful for who you have in your life, more than anything else.

“Triple Espresso” Tim and I took a break out of our Christmas errands to attend a Sunday matinee of “Triple Espresso.” I wrote a review of the comedy show a few weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to get to see it again.

“Triple Espresso” celebrated its 750th performance in Des Moines making it the longest running show in Iowa history. The three actors in the show stayed on stage after their final bow to answer questions and tell a little history of its historic run in Iowa. If you haven’t checked it out, I still highly recommend it. It’s the perfect show to put a smile on your face.

So Anyway Dana King

The pressures of ‘gifting’ Editor’s Note: This column originally published Dec. 11, 2015 Years ago, we decided the amount of “stuff ” our kids received at Christmas was ridiculous. I’m sure it’s a thought most parents of young children have as they witness the stash of gifts under the tree becoming larger than the tree itself.

Well, we came to this conclusion in 1998. The reason I’m so clear on the year? We sat the kids down to explain to them Santa would still be visiting our house but there simply wouldn’t be as many gifts under the tree. College-kid — a 3-year-old at the time — decided blame for the “downsizing” was the fault of the McCaughey septuplets — who had recently been on the news as they had celebrated their first birthdays. After all, that was a lot of extra loot for Santa to carry on his sleigh.

Ummm ... OK. We went with it. Better they take the heat than us.

We also reminded them baby Jesus received three gifts, so it was unanimously decided three gifts would be the perfect number of packages each of our own wee Kings could expect to find wrapped under our tree.

Granted, sometimes those packages held several items, but there were only three packages for each kid.

For instance, there was the year, as a “singular” gift for one of the boys, I purchased new collegiate bedding, wall boarders, lamps and wall art, then redecorated his room between Christmas and New Year’s Day. I know, it was kind of “two birds with one stone” move on my part, but he was young enough to fall for it. And he loved it.

It was a practice we kept in place for many years.

Then last year, with all of them now grown up, I had the bright idea all gifts must be hand-made.

And surprisingly enough, everyone was onboard.

There were a few exceptions, of course. We were allowed to purchase gifts for two members of the family ... the 2-year-old grandson and the 19-yearold college kid — the littlest one, for obvious reasons. And the older one? Well, he was a poor college student that was in need of clothing and gift cards to the grocery store.

I was quite proud of everyone for putting forth so much effort. I knew my kids were exceptionally gifted — I am their mother after all. But each one of them really put genuine thought and time into their gifts.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

So when it came to deciding if the homemade gift idea was something we wanted to repeat this year, it was concluded everyone needed more lead time than seven weeks to get their creative juices flowing. Instead, they decided they would draw names amongst the six of them (my three and our three ‘bonus’ kids).

I did put a price limit on their purchase(s), because when it comes to giving, sometimes they know no bounds.

I have yet to convince them purchasing gifts for hubby and me is completely unnecessary. I never understood when my parents or grandparents would make such an absurd statement as I was growing up, but I get it now.

Simply put, there comes a time in your life when you really, truly have everything you need and the one thing you want, is just to spend time with the family. It’s a win-win.

YOUR VIEW

Let’s bring peace to our world We are now in the Christmas season and we think about the Prince of Peace. We have new political leadership evolving in our country and three generals being added to the Trump staff.

This has never happened before in the history of our United States of America, it is time that Americans pay attention to what is going on. The question before us all — how do we face making America great again in bringing about peace in our world?

First, in May of this year President Obama spoke in Hiroshi-

Farmers don’t need gov’t guidance All of industry’s leadership have been named, that is except for agriculture. How about we start with Carl Wilken from Iowa who suggests “Party Agriculture.” The Democratic ad-

ma, Japan and this is what he said, “We must have the courage to escape the logic of fear, and pursue a world without nuclear weapons. We must change our mindset about war itself.”

Secondly, President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “I hate war as the only a soldier who has lived it can, as only one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.”

Third, Martin Luther King Jr. has said, “nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”

Fourth, Dorothy Day, found-

er of the Catholic Workers in America, has said, “We must be willing to challenge the political power structure we are living in.”

Fifth, Mother Teresa, that great saint of humility, has said, if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” Finally, Jesus challenges us when he says, “My peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give onto you.”

So Christians and Americans, how do we build a great nation in the next four years and in the years to come?

ministration picked the idea up and they ran with it. It passed just in time to pay for World War II. We are much in the same condition as when party law was initiated. Farmers don’t know what to do without some guidance from our government.

It would give us all a goal to make our country great again.

This time it would all be thanks to the Trump’s Republican for a better day. Turn about is fair play. It worked once, let’s try again.

This is all explained in a small pamphlet “Economic Report of the Producers 2003” by National Organization for Raw Materials.

Obituaries James Balmer Dec. 13, 2016 James Martin Balmer passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2016, at Mercy Hospice in Johnston, after suffering a massive stroke.

Jim was laid to rest next to his bride of 57 years at the Newton Union Cemetery in a private gathering Friday, Dec. 16. A memorial service for Jim will be at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20 at the Pence-Reese Funeral Home in Newton. Friends and family are invited to his

NHS

Holiday Band Concert

home immediately following the memorial service to enjoy food, drinks and companionship.

James Martin Balmer was born Oct. 22, 1937, in Emmett County. He enlisted in the Army Reserve in 1955, and served in the 103rd Signal Company until 1963.

He graduated from Newton High School in 1958, and from Marshalltown Community College in 1965, with an associates degree in engineering. He married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Mary (“Toots”) Minear June 20, 1959. They were blessed with one child, Kimberly (Kim).

Jim worked for Fisher Controls in Marshall-

Community Calendar

town for 35 years, retiring in 2001. His career allowed him to experience many different cultures and parts of the world, which he enjoyed immensely. Jim loved the outdoors, travel and family. Boating, fishing, pheasant hunting, woodworking, photography and his hunting dogs were his passion and pride. A day in the fields, or on the lake, followed by a family dinner, and then a game of cards around the kitchen table with his brothers, family or friends would have been considered to be the perfect day. Jim’s motto may have been “measure twice and cut once.”

Jim was preceded in death by his wife Mary;

his parents; twin brother, Jack; and younger brother, Jerry. He is survived by his daughter, Kimberly (Balmer) Mellinger; granddaughters, Molly and Elizabeth; and son-in-law, David Mellinger, all of Johnston; his sister-in-law, Elaine Balmer; niece, Amy (Balmer) Chu; three great-nieces all of Marietta, Ga.; and his aunt, Bonnie (Swalwell) Eilert of Newton.

Memorials may be made out to Kim Mellinger and mailed to her at 9216 Westfield Circle, Johnston, IA 50131. A memorial fund will be established to support the fishery at the Stanley’s West Arm Camp on Eagle Lake in Ontario, Canada.

Mom and daughter launch into premature ring-shopping DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost eight months. We love each other and talk often about marriage, family, etc.

The other night — just for fun — I looked online at rings and showed my mom a few I really loved. She quickly dismissed all of them, and started telling me how I need a big stone and that it needs to be expensive. Then she went online and looked herself and was telling me which ones I should be interested in. Mom offered to take me to a jeweler’s to find the “perfect” ring.

She has always been a helicopter parent, but now, as my boyfriend and I are becoming more serious, she’s going into warp drive. How can I tell her gently to butt out? Also, what’s your advice on the ring situation? — DAUGHTER OF A HELICOPTER MOM DEAR DAUGHTER: You and your mother are both jumping the gun.

“Talking often of marriage, family, etc.” is not an engagement. If you allow your mother to involve herself in this, I predict you will never get engaged because your boyfriend — if he’s smart — will run for the hills. When and if you do decide to tie the knot, the two of you should go to a jeweler together and select something he can afford and you will enjoy wearing. Period.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a young woman in my 20s. I have been blessed with a loving family, lots of opportunities and people who care about me. My problem is, I don’t feel worthy of any of it.

A lot of the time when I’m around people, I feel like I’m on the outside looking in — like an intruder. When I join groups and listen, I feel like I’m eavesdropping. When I try to pitch in, I feel like I’m annoying everyone. I try to be like people who other people like, but I feel I fall far short of the mark.

I wish I could change and be less irritating and more interesting, but I don’t know how to change my personality, or even if I could. I’m just tired of not feeling worthy enough. I know this feeling isn’t rational, but it’s here to stay, apparently. What should I do? — UN-

WORTHY DEAR UNWORTHY: There is nothing so defeating to social success than low self-esteem — feeling undeserving and not good enough. The first thing you should do is stop trying to change yourself to please others because it doesn’t work. Then try to pinpoint where these feelings of unworthiness originated. If you can’t manage it on your own — many people can’t — make an appointment to discuss it with a licensed mental health professional. You deserve to feel good about yourself and what you contribute.

DEAR ABBY: Years ago, it was considered improper to send a holiday card to a friend or family member who experienced the loss of a child or spouse during the year.

What is correct today? And what about an invitation to a party? — CAREFUL IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CAREFUL: If there was a “rule” that people who have suffered a loss should not receive a holiday card, I have never heard of it. One would think that those who are grieving would appreciate knowing they were being remembered.

As to inviting the person to a party — not everyone grieves in the same way or for the same length of time.

Unless religious custom prevents it, if you think the friend or relative might enjoy the event, by all means extend an invitation. The invitee can always refuse if it’s too soon.

4 Downtown Marriott to be sold

Man pleads not guilty in killings of two police officers

for nearly $34M

DES MOINES — An Iowa man has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in ambush-style attacks that killed two police officers last month.

Scott Michael Greene submitted his written plea in a court filing Wednesday in which he also asked for a speedy trial.

The 46-year-old has been jailed since he was charged last month in the Nov. 1 shootings of Urbandale officer Justin Martin and Des Moines Police Sgt. Anthony Beminio.

DES MOINES — Owners of the Des Moines Marriott Downtown have announced the hotel will be sold for nearly $34 million to Chicago-based Singerman Real Estate. City Center Corp., the hotel’s current owner, says the sale is scheduled to close Friday. Constructed in 1981, the Marriott is the third tallest building in Des Moines and includes more than 400 rooms. Earlier this year, the City Center board considered expanding the hotel, but decided instead to sell it.

MARSHALLTOWN — A 55-year-old Marshalltown man has been arrested and charged with sexually abusing a girl younger than 10. Marshalltown police began an investigation on Dec. 1 into a complaint of possible sexual abuse involving an adult male and a young girl. The man was arrested Thursday and has been charged with second-degree sexual abuse and indecent contact with a child.

Iowa lawmaker to lead agency on aging DES MOINES — An Iowa lawmaker who has helped make key decisions on health care services in the state will lead the department that oversees aging issues.

Iowa senator wants state ban on traffic cameras DAVENPORT (AP) — An Iowa senator plans to push legislation that would ban automated traffic-enforcement cameras he says are primarily revenue sources for cities instead of safety measures.

Republican Sen. Brad Zaun said he is optimistic the plan will be approved by the Legislature during the next legislative session.

Zaun noted the controversy surrounding the company running Davenport’s camera program, Redflex Traf-

fic Systems.

Redflex’s former CEO was sentenced in November to 30 months in federal prison for bribing government officials for Zaun contracts in big cities, and the company is being sued by Chicago for more than $300 million.

“There have been so many abuses,” Zaun said. “It’s be-

come more about generating revenue versus public safety.”

Zaun also argued that many cameras often show inaccurate data because they’ve been improperly calibrated or checked.

However, Davenport traffic engineer Gary Statz said there’s been a large reduction in red light crashes at intersections with cameras. He also cited a 34 percent decrease in vehicle trauma injuries, as reported by Genesis Health System.

“The large reduction in

red light crashes has shown the effectiveness of our program,” Statz said. “We also believe this program has raised awareness of the dangers of speeding and red light running.”

Statz told the Iowa Department of Transportation that data showing the downward trend in crashes are accurate because cameras are checked every month.

Zaun said the bill will likely make it to Gov. Terry Brandstad’s desk while Brandstad is still in office. The gover-

nor has been tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to be the ambassador to China.

The Iowa House has approved similar legislation in the past, but it was blocked

by Senate Democrats. With Republicans now taking a majority in the Senate, Zaun hopes the bill will go through.

“We’ve had the votes before. The only reason it didn’t go through was because the Senate majority leader wouldn’t let it come up for a vote,” he said.

Not just Standing Rock: Water sources along pipeline at risk

AP Photo Dakota Access pipeline protesters march from the Polk County Courthouse to a public meeting space to hold a rally Thursday in Des Moines. The protests came after a judge heard arguments in a lawsuit filed by several Iowa landowners who challenge forceful taking of their land for the pipeline and challenge the state’s permit process.

Judge hears landowners’ challenge to Dakota Access pipeline DES MOINES (AP) — A group of Iowa landowners forced to allow a Texas oil company to put a crude oil pipeline under their farmland is asking the state courts to throw out what they consider “illegal easements” through their land and some say if they win they want the pipeline dug up and re-

moved.

A district court judge in Des Moines heard arguments Thursday in the lawsuit challenging the Dakota Access pipeline.

About a dozen landowners seek to overturn the project permit approved by the Iowa Utilities Board and they claim it was illegal for

the board to take farmland when the pipeline provides no public service to Iowans.

The pipeline attorney argued the project is completed making the case moot. He says Iowa law gives the utilities board authority to issue pipeline permits.

Any decision is likely to be appealed.

Deadline y l r a E

DES MOINES (AP) — A Native American tribe’s fight over its water source has grown into an international cause, with all attention focused on the Dakota Access pipeline’s route in southern North Dakota. But contractors on the project, which passes through three other states, have been drilling under and through rivers that are equally critical water sources for hundreds of thousands of people.

One city managed to avoid the situation — Bismarck, N.D., the center of government in the oil-rich state and home to 67,000 people. Others, including Des Moines, didn’t, despite protests that led to arrests.

At issue is whether a breach in the $3.8 billion project, being built

by Dallas-based parent company Energy Transfer Partners, will affect drinking water, given that it crosses more than 200 water bodies, including the Des Moines and

Raccoon rivers. While utility officials in Iowa acknowledge it’s likely there’ll be an issue in the future, they’re confident a leak won’t affect the quality of the water.

“I think it’s important to note that it isn’t a matter of if there’ll be eventually some kind of leak or rupture of the pipeline it’s a matter of when and so we certainly want to be vigilant and have measures in place,” Des Moines Water Works CEO Bill Stowe said.

Energy Transfer Partners counters that the 1,170-mile pipeline will be safe, with devices placed throughout to track pressure, temperature, density and flow that’ll be monitored around the clock by people who can remotely shut off oil flow. Such emergency valves are on either side of the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers, ETP spokeswoman Vicki Granado said.

Pipe was laid early this month under the

Des Moines River, and the route also crosses the Raccoon or its tributaries at three locations upstream from Des Moines, a city of more than 200,000 residents.

Stowe, whose utility has a half-million customers, said there is a plan to deal with an oil leak, and he works with the U.S. Department of Transportation to ensure regular inspections and appropriate flow-stopping measures. He’s more concerned about more commonplace water threats: spills from tanker trucks carrying anhydrous ammonia or petroleum products, as well as farm wastewater spills, sewage leaks and other contaminants.

The Dakota Access pipeline also crosses underneath the Mississippi River, which is a source of water for about 4,000 people in the southeast corner of Iowa and close to a water-treatment plant for the city of Keokuk.

Giving to St Nick’s

Houses Continued from Page 1A Corey said she brought the holiday idea from Emerson Hough Elementary School where she previously taught students.

“My favorite part is seeing the parents come in and spend time with their child with no distractions,” Corey said.

“We will clean up the mess, and they don’t have to worry.”

If the child didn’t have a parent who was able to make it, then various teachers and faculty stepped in to help the student.

“We’re fortunate that they let us continue to do this,” Corey said.

Many of the day’s activities were made possible through contributions by the Thomas Jefferson PTA.

IUB recommends safe, cost-effective tips to reduce winter heating bills With dangerously low temperatures and high winds in the forecast, the Iowa Utilities Board reminds utility customers of simple ways to reduce monthly winter heating bills while remaining safe and warm.

An easy method that consumers can use to save money and energy during the heating season is by simply lowering your thermostat while sleeping or away from home.

You can do this automatically without sacrificing comfort by installing an automatic setback or programmable thermostat.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating your residence uses more energy and costs more mon-

ey than any other system in your home, typically making up about 42 percent of your utility bill.

Thermostat temperatures should never be reduced to a setting that might adversely impact the health of anyone in the home and should be set to avoid pipes from freezing when a residence is unoccupied.

Other safe and efficient tips to reduce energy use and costs: • Inspect, clean and change furnace filters as recommended.

• Have heating systems serviced annually by a qualified technician.

• Ensure air registers, heating ducts and radiators are

clean and not blocked.

• Weatherize exterior doors and windows.

• If the sun is shining, keep draperies or shades on south facing windows open to let in sunlight and closed at night to help insulate from the cold and wind chill.

• Turn off unnecessary lighting, electronic devices, exhaust fans, and appliances when not in use.

• Select energy-efficient ENERGY STAR products when buying new heating equipment.

• Check with your local utility company about a free or low-cost energy assessment, or energy efficient programs or rebates for energy efficient investments.

• For consumers who qualify, inquire with a local Community Action Agency for information about limited heating financial assistance and heating service disconnection through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance or Home Weatherization Programs.

Tips to keep your home safe in winter: • Never use portable combustion generators or engines indoors, which can be fatal due to carbon monoxide, fire and other risks, even when operating near open windows or doors.

• Gas or kerosene heaters, stoves and grills are not recommended for indoor use.

• Never use a gas stove or

oven for space heating.

• Always ensure adequate venting and a safe spacing distance for materials that can catch fire when using a fireplace or wood burning stove.

• Never leave open burning fireplaces, candles, or active space heaters unattended.

• Make sure smoke alarms are connected and working properly.

For more information, visit the Iowa Utilities Board’s Tips to Save Energy web page or contact your local natural gas or electric utility for more information about options to assist in lowering energy usage and saving money during winter and throughout the year.

Warriors hold off Cardinals on the mat

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals faced a 10-point deficit with two matches remaining in Thursday’s Little Hawkeye Conference dual with visiting Norwalk. The Warriors used a forfeit by Newton at 106 pounds to go up 34-24.

The Cardinals had sophomores Blake Cockerton and Blake Iske at 113 and 120 pounds left to get on the mat. They needed two pins to win the dual. Newton got one and Norwalk won the dual 37-30.

Cockerton faced Norwalk’s Ethan Froehlich at 113 and quickly pushed a 6-1 lead by the end of the first period. He continued to pile up points for a 13-2 advantage heading into the third period.

Cockerton had Froehlich on his back three times in the first two periods. He finally wrapped a pin with 1 minute, 34 seconds remaining in the match.

MARSHALLTOWN — NCMP’s Cardinals hit the competitive waters Thursday against Dowling Catholic and host Marshalltown.

Dowling’s Maroons swept the double dual, beating NCMP 78-16 and Marshalltown 68-26. Marshalltown defeated NCMP 58-36.

“We had a very solid meet Thursday night with Marshalltown and Dowling. We

was so missing college football a week ago then I found the Army-Navy game. I always try to catch this game — the traditions of it are tremendous. It wasn’t a bad game and helped appease my cold-turkey feeling.

One of the many voices of my youth and through my adulthood of watching and listening to sports, especially football has been Verne Lundquist.

I had forgotten he had announced his retirement from college football broadcasting earlier this year.

The 2016 Army-Navy game was his final football game. He had an emotional goodbye sign-off.

The voices which brought the game alive to me all these years are fading out — leaving the airways. In March, I wrote about some of those voices when Joe Garagiola died. Although I am a print journalist, I love to listen to the call of sports on the radio and television. I don’t have a broadcast voice, so it’s best I went into print journalism.

Vin Scully bowed out of the L.A. Dodgers’ broadcast booth to retire at the end of the Major League Baseball season this year. One of my favorite sports movies is “For Love of the Game,” starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston. Costner is an aging

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers — a team which has just been sold by its longtime owner — and the pitcher is taking the mound against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium late in the season.

The pitcher is on pace for a perfect game. Scully is the play-by-play announcer for this game. I love his voice and how he calls a game — the imagery. I know this was written for him, but it is true to Scully’s style.

“After 19 years in the big leagues, 40-year-old Billy Chapel has trudged to the mound for more than 4,000 innings. But tonight, he’s pitching against time, he’s pitching against the future, against age, against ending.

Tonight, he will make the fateful walk to the loneliest spot in the world, the pitching mound at Yankee Stadium, to push the sun back into the sky and give us one more day of summer.”

Sadly, I just found out Craig Sager lost his battle with cancer Thursday.

Sager, who has become known as a NBA announcer, was a sports reporter for a Kansas City, Mo., television station I watched all the time. My hometown is located between Kansas City and Lawrence, Kan., Scully, Lundquist, Pat Summerall, Don Criqui, Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, Jim McKay and many more brought the games to life for me and

millions of others watching and listening. Their voices helped me develop love for the game of football in particular and sports in general.

This weekend college football is back — in the form of the start of the college football bowl season. There’s a lot of them.

My Kansas State Wildcats will be playing an old nemesis on Dec. 28 in the Texas Bowl in Houston. I ran across a story The Associated Press wrote this week about K-State head coach Bill Snyder and the Wildcats’ history against the Texas A&M Aggies.

It is somewhat comforting to know Coach Snyder feels about the 1998 showdown with Texas A&M much as I do. Here’s a few excerpts from the AP story — Bill Snyder recalled this week arguably the lowest point of his coaching career.

It was nearly two decades ago, when Kansas State rolled into the Big 12 title game unbeaten and ranked No. 1. The Wildcats needed only to beat Texas A&M to have an opportunity to play for a national championship, but squandered a big lead in an overtime loss that spoiled their season.

“That,” Snyder said this week, “was a hard loss.”

He hopes for a much different result against the Aggies later this month.

Kansas State heads to the Texas Bowl in Houston to face its old conference rival, and just like in 1998, there will be more at stake than simply a trophy and some bragging rights. Those closest to the program believe things

are lining up for Snyder to contend for one more conference title, and just maybe, force their way into the College Football Playoff and make another run at a national championship.

Knocking off the Aggies on Dec. 28 would serve as a catapult toward those lofty aspirations, sending a Kansas State team filled with underclassmen into the offseason on a high note.

“Next year is next year,” Snyder said, “but surely it could. Hopefully that would be the case. As I’ve said every year, each year has totally different dynamics than previous years. It’s one step at a time. More often than not, the previous year and how things play out is not necessarily a good indicator of where the next team is going to go.”

Still, Snyder is reluctant to gaze too far into the future. The 77-year-old coach hasn’t even confirmed he will be back next season, though that’s the assumption.

He certainly isn’t going to think about what next year holds with Texas A&M sitting on the horizon.

“I’m proud of the young people in our program and their coaches for embellishing and making a commitment to daily improvement,” he said, “and as you’ve heard me say so many times, it’s not totally consistent but at the end of the day we’ve gotten better on a very regular basis and I’d attribute any success that we’ve had to that year-in and year-out.”

It’s about love of the game. Snyder has brought just that to Kansas State.

PCM grapplers sweep HOIC triangular

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — Halfway through its dual with Gilbert, the Prairie City-Monroe wrestling team trailed the Tigers 28-3.

A slow and methodical comeback though helped the Mustangs stay undefeated in the Heart of Iowa Conference.

With six wins in the final matches, PCM rallied to defeat the Tigers, 37-34. A 62-18 win over host Roland-Story in the opener moved the Mustangs to 4-0 in conference duals. PCM improved to 7-5 overall.

Freshman Payton Drake (113), sophomores Wes Cummings (152), Lucas Roland (160) and Jarron Trausch (170) and seniors Xavier Miller (145) and Leevi Telfer (195) all went 2-0 on the night.

The Mustangs rolled through Roland-Story with six pins and two forfeits. The Norse scored 12 of their 18 points because of forfeits.

Against Roland-Story, Drake, freshman Jace Smith (285) and senior Jakeb Fenton (126) both won by fall, while senior Chace Palm and sophomore Drew Johnson each won by major decision. Miller, Cummings, Roland and Trausch collected four consecutive

Rebuilding Iowa finds optimism in its freshmen Hawkeyes take on instate rival Northern Iowa in Saturday’s Hy-Vee Classic IOWA CITY (AP) — After losing four senior starters, Iowa is in the midst of a major rebuild this season.

The recent performances of its freshmen suggest that those efforts might not take very long.

The Hawkeyes (5-5) have had serious struggles so far, most notably losing to Nebraska-Omaha at home. But that adversity has revealed reasons for optimism, because their freshmen have shown serious promise so far.

Newcomers Cordell Pemsl, Isaiah Moss, Jordan Bohannon and Tyler Cook have all become major contributors.

Pemsl, Moss and Bohannon started in last week’s upset of then-No. 25 Iowa State, and Cook (13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds per game) was a starter before a broken right finger set him back.

Iowa plays Northern Iowa (5-4) on Saturday as part of an annual doubleheader in Des Moines.

“Getting them to understand how to prepare and how to work and how to put it together (is the challenge) because from the very beginning they’ve been really good most of the time,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.

The Hawkeyes were concerned about their interior play after center Adam Woodbury’s graduation. The 6-foot8 Pemsl looks like he might be able to fix that problem.

Pemsl was somewhat overlooked during the recruiting process because of shoulder and knee injuries. But he still led Dubuque (Wahlert) in scoring and rebounding in all four of his high school sea-

sons — and he’s put up some impressive stats in his collegiate debut.

Pemsl is one of just seven Division I players in the last 20 years to hit at least 75 percent of his shots in his first 10 games, which McCaffery said is a product of advanced shot selection.

Pemsl (42-of-56 shooting) also averaging 17 points a game since taking the injured Cook’s spot in the starting lineup, with 4.9 rebounds and roughly a block a game as well.

“Little things that’ll help my game, help me get easy and efficient shots,” Pemsl said when asked about his recent scoring binge. His teammates “know that they can count on me to turn around and score or find them with a kick out.”

Bohannon is the youngest of four brothers to play Division I ball, including Zach (Wisconsin) and Matt (Northern Iowa).

Although Bohannon was Iowa’s Mr. Basketball in 2016, he was expected to be Iowa’s backup point guard as a freshman.

But like Pemsl, Bohannon jumped into the starting lineup four games ago and hasn’t looked back, averaging more than 13 points and 5.5 assists as a starter.

“We’ve all prepared ourselves to be in the position we are in right now,” Bohannon said of he and his fellow freshmen. “It’s hard as a freshman.

Coach has been on me every day knowing I had to play right away.”

Moss, a 6-foot-5 guard who redshirted in 2015-16, had his breakout performance last

week. He scored 35 points combined in wins over Stetson and the Cyclones to earn Big Ten freshman of the week honors.

“He’s got unlimited potential because very few people that are that quick and athletic have that kind of stroke,” McCaffery said.

“Once he really believes

he’s as great as we think he should be, then he’ll become that great.”

McCaffery will have some serious shuffling to do when Cook, the most highly-touted recruit he ever brought to Iowa City, returns next week.

And although the young Hawkeyes have had their moments so far, they’ll much

more likely to finish near .500 than near the top of the Big Ten. But the four seniors they lost led the program to three straight NCAA Tournaments.

If Iowa’s newest core can continue to progress, they might someday match that feat.

“You’ve got to be patient,” McCaffery said.

Chiefs to tackle Titans running game without star linebacker KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have a multitude of ways to replace Derrick Johnson in the middle of their run defense, whether it’s Frank Zombo, D.J. Alexander or even injured linebacker Justin March-Lillard.

Replacing his leadership is a much bigger challenge.

“That’s a tough void to fill, just the years of experience,” Chiefs safety Eric Berry said.

“Just his presence and his IQ that he’s accumulated over the years, just having him out there and understand what the offenses are trying to do — that’s a big deal. We’ll have to figure something out.”

Johnson was lost for the season when he ruptured his Achilles tendon before halftime of last week’s victory over Oakland. It’s the second time the star linebacker has sustained the injury and it couldn’t have come at a more inopportune time with Tennessee rolling into town.

The Chiefs’ run defense is predicated on their defensive front occupying offensive linemen long enough for the linebacker crew to dart in and plays. And that’s a big reason why Johnson, their career tackles leader, had been putting up big numbers again this season.

Now that responsibility falls on the shoulders of others, just as the Titans’ thirdranked rushing attack arrives at Arrowhead Stadium.

AP Photo Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson (56) sits injured during the first half the Dec. 8 game against the Oakland Raiders in Kansas City, Mo.

DeMarco Murray, Derrick Henry and Co. are averaging nearly 150 yards rushing per game, and churned out a win over Denver last week despite quarterback Marcus Mariota having arguably his poorest game as a starting quarterback in the NFL. “They’ve got a lot of weapons,” Berry said, “but I think all of it starts up front. Their offensive line is pretty good, and to pair that with some good backs and a quarterback with some good speed, I think that really opens up the running game.”

Make no mistake, the Chiefs struggled to stop the run ever before Johnson went down.

They gave up 155 yards to the Chargers in their opener.

Gave up at least 100 yards in back-to-back games against the Jets and Steelers. Gave up an embarrassing 205 yards against the Jaguars. And now have allowed at least 100 yards rushing each of the past four weeks.

Titans coach Mike Mularkey insisted those numbers are deceiving, though.

“It’s not about yards. It’s

never about yards,” he said.

“It’s about scoring, and keeping a team from scoring. You can get besieged by all these rankings of the numbers you see, and we’re not going to fall for that. We know what we’re up against. We don’t pay attention to statistics.

“Good example,” Mularkey continued, “is they’re very tough against the run, and they’ve given up some chunk plays to skew that statistic where they’re ranked. If you don’t watch film, don’t understand the game you can fall for that — ‘You can run the

ball at will.’ No, this is a good defense, very sound.”

One thing they have going for them is a defensive front that’s a bit healthier. Dontari Poe has been dealing with back spasms, as has fellow defensive tackle Rakeem NunezRoches, and both of them are expected to play against the Titans.

Throw in the progress of second-round pick Chris Jones and the defensive line could be what prevents the Titans from running all over them.

As for the leadership, turns out there are plenty of guys ready to take over Johnson’s mantle.

Berry has shown leadership since long before his cancer diagnosis a couple years ago, but it has only increased over the past year. Justin Houston is back from his knee injury and playing at a high level.

And even second-year cornerback Marcus Peters is the kind of outspoken playmaker that can chip in.

“You know, (Johnson) is a great guy. That’s why you don’t like it,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “I mean, he’s such a good person and loves to play the game. He’s (34) years old, and that guy comes out every day like he’s 20. He’s got that kind of injury — yeah, you hate to see that, but he’s also our biggest supporter. I told him he could get a little jump on coaching here and see if he likes it when he’s done.”

Gaylor took second in the 500 freestyle race in 5:06.14 and Hunter was fifth in 5:37.39. Carter Briggs came in third in the 100 breaststroke in 1:10 with teammate Izaak Miller in fifth at 1:24.38.

“Both Caleb and Adam turned in solid 500 swims as well as the 200. These guys are our utility athletes in the long events,” Patterson said.

Briggs combined with Clay Trotter, Mason Lee and Logan Heisdorffer to take third in the 200 medley relay in 1:55.30. NCMP’s other foursome of Deklan Lewis, Paul Maharry, Jacob Nedder and Clay Meyer was fifth in 2:03.06.

Patterson said the Cardinals started the meet with the medley relay beating Marshalltown. She said Lee had his fastest 50 butterfly split.

In the 200 freestyle relay event, NCMP’s team of Trotter, Maharry, Heisdorffer and Gaylor finished fourth in 1:38.01. The team of Lee, Briggs, Meyer and Hunter was sixth in 1:46.69.

“Clay Trotter posted his personal best individual 50 free time by leading off our 200 freestyle relay with a 24.02, just shy of breaking that 24 mark. I like how he is starting to really battle when the going gets tough,” Patterson said.

Gaylor, Heisdorffer, Maharry and Trotter combined for a fourth-place finish in the final race of the night — the 400 freestyle relay — in 3:42.36. Taking sixth in 4:04.37 was the Cardinal team of Hunter, Meyer, Lewis and Nedder.

Briggs placed fourth in the 200 individual medley in 2:23.84 and Lewis was sixth in 2:29.58. Heisdorffer and Maharry were fifth and sixth, respectively, in the 100 freestyle in 56.96 seconds and 58.36 seconds.

The game was played at the UNIDome in Cedar Falls. He finished the bowl game with six catches for 134 yards.

IWCC finished the season at 6-6.

Easley ended up with 1,103 all-purpose yards for the 2016 season. He had 29 yards rushing and 120 yards in kick returns.

As a freshman at IWCC, Easley caught 17 passes for 197 yards and one TD. This week, Easley announced via his Twitter account he was headed to Iowa State as a preferred walk-on for the Cyclones.

At Newton High, Easley received Iowa Newspaper Association Class 3A thirdteam honors as a wide receiver following the 2014 season. He earned 3A all-state honors in 2015 as a kicker or punter.

time of 1:29.80 is a lifetime best. It is so fun to see kids achieve their goals.”

Patterson said Elbert, Busch, and Sherwood had strong junior varsity swims for NCMP. She said Elbert did his first flip turns in competition, while Busch did his first 200 freestyle.

“I set a goal for Parker to break 3:20 in his first 200 freestyle, and he went a 3:09,” Patterson said. “Everyone is working hard, so we can’t ask for more at this point.”

NCMP’s final meet before the holiday break is Tuesday at Des Moines Roosevelt.

Ferentz, Hawkeyes revel in winning offensive line award

By Luke Meredith The Associated Press Iowa has come to be known for its smart, tough and physical offensive lines.

This season, the Hawkeyes earned an award for that prowess that had special meaning to coach Kirk Ferentz.

Last week, Iowa was named the winner of the second annual Joe Moore Award, given to the nation’s top offensive line.

The honor’s namesake was one of the most respected line coaches in the history of college football — and made a deep impression on Ferentz during a season spent as a graduate assistant on the same staff with Moore at Pittsburgh in 1980.

The 21st-ranked Hawkeyes (8-4) will try to finish the season on a fourgame winning streak when they face No. 20 Florida (84) in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2.

“He’s probably the reason I’m here right now. On a lot of levels,” said Ferentz, who also played high school ball under Moore.

“He was a really special person in my life.”

Unlike many college football honors, the selection process for Moore Award finalists and its winner is tough to dispute.

Every FBS line coach in the country gets a vote, and the award committee evaluates line play by video every week.

Despite leaky play at points in 2016, Iowa beat out Alabama and Ohio State because of what committee chair Aaron Tay-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa’s offensive line won the Joe Moore Award, which is given annually to the nation’s No. 1 offensive line. The Hawkeyes finished second to Alabama in the award’s first season in 2015.

Iowa was voted ahead of other finalists Alabama and Ohio State this season.

lor, a former All-American lineman under Moore at Notre Dame, said was “teamwork.”

The Hawkeyes needed nearly every lineman they had this season.

Iowa was forced to use eight different starting units, and none of their linemen started all 12 games.

But the Hawkeyes put it together down the stretch, throttling Nebraska 40-10 in the season finale.

Iowa also was a finalist for the award in 2015.

“It honors a group. Not an individual. And when you talk about the offensive line, that’s what it’s all

about,” Ferentz said.

The good news for the Hawkeyes is that every lineman listed as a starter against the Gators will be back in 2017.

Whether that will be enough to help fix one of the lowest scoring offenses in the country will be heavily debated in the offseason.

Iowa’s young receivers didn’t do much developing in 2016, although the expected return of star wide receiver Matt VandeBerg should give the Hawkeyes more stability.

Freshman quarterback Nathan Stanley looked solid in limited duty, and run-

ning back Akrum Wadley will be among the early favorites for Big Ten player of the year.

But it will all start up front — and the Hawkeyes look like they’re in good shape there moving forward.

“The thing I’m happiest about and proudest of this football team thus far is just the way they’ve stayed with things,” Ferentz said “They’ve stayed determined, they’ve stayed positive, and stayed together.

They’ve pushed forward.

So whether it’s the offensive line or entire football team, I think that’s what we’ve witnessed.”

Colorful NBA reporter Craig Sager dies at 65 HOUSTON (AP) — Craig Sager never once thought about giving up as he battled cancer for more than two years.

“Man, life is too beautiful, too wonderful, there’s just too many things,” he said in late August. “It’s not just you. It’s your family and kids and all. Fight. Fight until the end.

Fight as hard as you can.”

The end for the beloved TNT broadcaster came Thursday when the man known as much for his outrageous wardrobe as his relationships with the NBA’s elite succumbed to the disease he fought so hard to overcome. Turner Sports announced his death without disclosing details. He was 65 and had worked basketball games for TNT for nearly a quarter-century.

“Craig Sager was a beloved member of the Turner family for more than three decades and he has been a true inspiration to all of us,” Turner President David Levy said. “There will never be another Craig Sager.

His incredible talent, tireless work ethic and commitment to his craft took him all over the world covering sports.”

His son, Craig Jr., posted a loving video tribute to his father, tweeting: “We packed a lifetime and then some into these 28 years together.”

Sager had two bone marrow transplants with his son as the donor before undergoing a third one from an anonymous donor at the end of August in Houston to fight an aggressive form of leukemia. To no one’s surprise, he was characteristically cheerful.

“It really isn’t all that painful, not physically,” he said then. “I think the hardest toll is mentally and emotionally. I have this thing of positive thinking. I think if you think something is going to be right and you think positive then you feel that way and if you feel that way you’ll act that way. I try not to get down.”

Sager announced in April 2014 that he had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, and he missed the playoffs and much of the

Sager, the longtime sideline reporter famous for his flashy suits and probing questions, has died after a battle with cancer, Turner Sports announced Thursday.

following season as he underwent the first two transplants. Sager revealed in March 2016 that his leukemia was no longer in remission. He said doctors told him the typical prognosis was three to six months to live, but “I am receiving the best treatment in the world and I remain fully confident I will win this battle.”

He was overwhelmed by how news of his fight spread and people across the world started talking about the Sager Strong campaign.

“At first was our family’s fight,” Sager said. “Then because of TV and TNT and people seeing me in the

stands and I talk to people and then it got bigger and then that inner circle became an endless world to tell you the truth.”

Sager then started gaining inspiration from everyone who shared their story or reached out to show support.

“They saw that I refused to give up and I refused to give in and that I’m still fighting it and they saw a lot of inspiration in what I was doing,” he said. Now I feel I’m not only fighting for what I want and what my family wants, but for everybody out there who has cancer or will.”

His battle brought out the soft side of Gregg Popovich, the prickly San Antonio Spurs coach with whom he had many memorable exchanges during in-game interviews.

Sager never faulted Popovich for his gruff attitude during those interviews, saying “he’s trying to win a game. He doesn’t want to talk to some reporter.” But he said they had a great relationship.

“Later, he said, ‘You’re still going to be media on the court, but off the court can I call you and see how you’re doing?’ I said: ‘Heck yes,’” Sager recalled in August. “Just keep treating me the way on the court you always do. He said: ‘I wouldn’t want it any other way.’”

Popovich didn’t take questions from reporters prior to Thursday night’s game in Phoenix. Instead, he walked out of the visiting locker room and, with a somber tone, spoke only of Sager for close to two minutes.

“A day like this, basketball has to take a back seat, as we all think about somebody who was very unique, very special,” Popovich said.

“Whether you really knew Craig or not, you got the feeling that he was a very special person in a lot of different ways, and right now I just feel for his family.”

Sager sported suits in every color of the rainbow and plenty of shades not found in nature, from teal to fuchsia to magenta. He would match plaid blazers with paisley ties or striped shirts — all in bold hues.

Minnesota Gopher players to boycott all football activity MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The entire Minnesota football team says it is boycotting all football activities until it gets satisfactory answers from the university about the suspension of 10 players.

The school suspended the players after an internal investigation into a sexual assault case. Police declined to charge any of the players, but the school suspended them based on internal regulations involving sexual assault allegations.

The team’s players said Wednesday they have not ruled out skipping the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27 against Washington State in San Diego. They asked the bowl’s committee to be patient while they work through the situation.

“The boycott will remain in effect until due process is followed and the suspensions for all 10 players are lifted,” senior receiver Drew Wolitarsky said, reading from a prepared statement while flanked by all of his teammates. “We further request that (President Eric) Kaler and (athletic director Mark) Coyle (apologize) and demand that these leaders are held accountable for their actions. This decision for the players to take this stance is not easy, but important to preserve the integrity of the program and ourselves.”

The university announced the suspensions Tuesday night without disclosing why. The incident at an off-campus apartment in September led to threegame suspensions of four of the players earlier this season. Another six were added to that list this week after the internal investigation.

A joint statement issued by Kaler and Coyle Thursday night said the school’s decision was “based on facts and is reflective of the university’s values.”

“We understand that a lot of confusion and frustration exists as a result of this week’s suspension of ten Gopher football players from all team activities,” the statement read. “The reality is that not everyone can have all of the facts, and unfortunately the university cannot share more information due to federal laws regarding student privacy.

Kaler and Coyle said they want to “continue an open dialogue with our players.”

Ray Buford Sr., the father of defensive back Ray Buford Jr., said the new suspensions resulted from an investigation by the university’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action that was separate from earlier investigations into the alleged assault in the early hours of Sept. 3. He confirmed that an attorney for his son and other players planned to appeal.

Buford Jr., KiAnte Hardin, Dior Johnson and Tamarion Johnson were suspended for three games when their names came up in the police investigation. A restraining order filed by a woman who made the allegations prevented the players from being at TCF Bank Stadium on game days because she was involved in game-day operations. But the players were not arrested, prosecutors decided not to press charges and the players returned to the team.

The restraining order was lifted after a settlement on Nov. 2.

The other six players are defensive backs Antonio Shenault and Antoine Winfield Jr., running backs Carlton Djam and Kobe McCrary, and quarterbacks Seth Green and Mark Williams.

Hardin and Winfield are starters and Buford and Shenault are key reserves.

According to police records released Wednesday, the woman told police she was drunk when she was sexually assaulted in Djam’s apartment by several men, including some of the suspended players. She said her sexual contact with two men may have been consensual, but her contact with four of them was not.

Several players told police it was consensual.

The players boycotted practice Thursday to start their show of displeasure, one day after meeting with Coyle. Then they all lined up in the team’s indoor practice facility, wearing their maroon jerseys with gold numbers and vowing to stay united.

“When we had questions for him, he basically told us that he didn’t have answers,” Wolitarsky said. “So that led us basically to believe that this is kind of unjust and he has the power to reverse this and he won’t.”

When asked if they would boycott the bowl game, Wolitarsky said they would take it “day by day.”

“The thing of it is, all these kids’ reputations are destroyed,” quarterback Mitch Leidner said. “Their names are destroyed. It’s extremely difficult to get them back and it’s very unfair for them and that’s why we’re sticking together through this thing.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 16). Things will go exceptionally well in the money department over the next three weeks, and this helps other things, too. Riding that line between being responsible to others and doing your own thing -- that will be your growing edge in the early parts of the year. You’ll always win when you bring your most professional self to the moment.

Taurus and Scorpio adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 50, 2, 22 and 15.

Under this moody Cancer moon, you’ll need to work harder for equilibrium. The part of your brain responsible for planning, reasoning, self-

control and general “adulting” gets tired faster than the part in charge of automatic behaviors.

It’s just one more reason to make life easier for yourself by setting up systems to support your best intentions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Avoid personalizing other people’s behaviors by assuming that they are reacting to you. Many factors affect behavior. You may only be a small part of it, but you’ll be a positive part.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An issue you deal with is not who you are. The less you identify with it the bet-

ter. Separate yourself from the circumstances. Remind yourself of your good qualities and reinforce what you’re all about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You probably wouldn’t guess what someone finds attractive about you, but you don’t have to. The more you focus on your strengths, curiosities and interests the bigger your light becomes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Love and commitment fuse together today. You won’t be sure if you’re doing something because you love it or if you love it because you’re doing it. Either way, it’s a slice of heaven.

E.O.E. & Drug Testing

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Emotional courage is the key to getting the results you want.

When you’re willing to deal with uncertainty and embrace the pain that goes along with growing and changing, this is when the transformation you wish for begins.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Some feelings you want to build up, and others you want to feel a lot less of. Suppressing an emotion will only make it stronger. If you want to feel less of a thing, express it. Get it out, and let it diffuse.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The less reactive you are, the better you’ll handle things. The better you handle things, the more someone will admire and like

you. The more someone admires and likes you, the higher you’ll be promoted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The way to tell a great question is by the answers you’re getting. You’ll create an environment of warmth and people will open up to you, giving you exactly what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The magic question of the day: How do you envision this process working? Ask yourself; ask others. It will get everyone thinking of the practical steps necessary to realize the goal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may not wake up filled with a sunshiny spirit.

This can still be a happy day.

What’s dragging your thoughts into the shadows? Identify the main issue. Confront and conquer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sometimes everything feels like a top priority, but of course that’s not how priorities work. Get real about it. What’s the one thing you could do to make the rest fall in line?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Most people listen to one another with a cursory level of attention. Listening is a muscle.

It takes practice to get this muscle in shape. Listen better than others do (not hard), and seize the opportunities they miss.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B It gave Newton six team points to pull the Cardinals to within four of the Warriors, 34-30.

Iske and Norwalk’s Alex Hoover went scoreless in the first period of the 120-pound match, which was the finale of the night. Iske had a reversal to take a 2-0 lead to open the second period then Hoover escaped for one point.

Iske was up 2-1 going into the third period.

Each wrestler was awarded a point for stalling on Hoover and locked hands on Iske. Hoover tied the match at 3-all with another escape. Hoover claimed a 5-3 lead on a takedown, which won him the match and Norwalk the dual.

“We competed really well. Norwalk is one of the top teams in our conference. Indianola is at another level, but Norwalk is in the next tier,” Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said.

“We were right there with them tonight.”

Swedenhjelm said his wrestlers will keep battling and working. He said the Cardinals will work to see if by the time of the Little Hawkeye Conference tournament if they can get past Norwalk.

The Warriors took the first two matches of the night at 126 and 132 with pins. Newton freshman Zane Kohlmeyer stepped into his first varsity match at 138 pounds. He was trailing 4-2 late in the second period to Norwalk’s Chris Adams when Kohlmeyer put Adams in a cradle for the fall at the 3:26 mark.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High freshman Zane Kohlmeyer sinks a half-nelson hard on Norwalk’s Chris Adams as the two competed in the varsity 138-pound match Thursday at Newton. Kohlmeyer put Adams in a cradle to pin him, claiming his first varstiy win.

“Zane’s a great wrestler, who has been in our youth and middle school programs,” Swedenhjelm said. “He’s been a little banged up this season. It’s exciting to see what he can do when he’s out on the mat. He’s a big-move guy and we saw that tonight.”

Newton senior Jon Lawton faced Norwalk’s Tyler Hirl, who is ranked No. 10 in Class 3A, in the 145-pound match. Hirl won by a major decision, 16-2, to push Norwalk’s team score to 16-6.

Logan Zibert controlled his 152-pound match against Norwalk’s Tyler Gearhart, leading 6-2 after one period. Following an escape, Zibert took Gearhart down and pinned him with 1:27

left in the second period.

Newton trailed 1612 when Alan Moore caught Newton’s Tristin Langmaid for a late pin in their 160-pound bout.

Norwalk’s Jack Livingston scored three points in the third period to hand Newton’s Tanner Petro a 5-2 setback at 170.

Newton’s Brady Smith and Blayden Rhone recorded back-to-back 8-3 decisions at 182 and 195 to close the gap to 25-18. Jaise Gulling lost an 8-4 decision to Norwalk’s Drake Leek in the 220-pound match.

At 285, Newton’s Alex Miller pulled the Cardinals to within four points, 28-24, of the Warriors.

Miller pinned Norwalk’s Bryce Kohls at the 2:33 mark. Norwalk’s lead went back to 10 points

as Travis McCombs got a forfeit win at 106.

Newton needed to win the final two matches to catch Norwalk.

With the dual loss, Newton dropped to 1-2 in LHC action and 4-2 overall in dual action.

The Cardinals won the junior varsity dual, winning 10 of 16 matches. Destin Schroder had two wins while Coltin Whitten went 1-1. Other victories for Newton came from Aren Sorensen, Bobby Yarges, Joseph Carolus, Austin Romberg, Isaac Bebout, Landon Hansen and Gage Linahon.

On Saturday, Newton’s varsity is at the Fort Dodge Invitational starting at 10 a.m. and the Newton JV competes at 8 a.m. in the North Polk
