‘Trot’-ting to the next level
By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News
Reaching the finish line in a 5K race can be an emotional ex-perience.
For Mark Stiles, his comple-tion of the Nov. 15 Newton YMCA Turkey Trot 5K was emotional not only because of the rigors of the course — it also rep-resented a major step for him and his family.
Stiles lost much of his ability to move freely when several back surgeries were unsuccessful. Two years ago, he was still in a hospital when his youngest daughter was born.
Having made some progress by the time last year’s Turkey Trot rolled around, Stiles vowed to complete a 5K by the end of 2014. He accomplished that goal with about seven weeks to spare, as he finished the Newton YMCA course in 1 hour, 18 minutes, 20 seconds, with his wife, Jody Mar-shall Stiles, by his side.
Though the couple needed 10 more minutes to complete the course than any of the other 48
finishers, the race was not really against anyone else. Stiles was competing, as he has done for several years, against the limits of his body — and those limits con-tinue to be diminished.
“I still don’t have a lot of strength in my arms and shoul-ders,” the 1989 Newton High School graduate said. “I want to get to the point where I can transport my family, drive and physically pick the kids up. But I’m always pushing myself — try-ing to do a little more than I did the time before.”
Stiles, 44, was known as an athlete as much as he was any-thing else during his school days. His father, Dick, coached football at Newton High School for more than 30 years.
Mark had back surgeries in August and October of 2012 for a major back problem. Those surgeries, and a subsequent third surgery, have not made much im-pact, and Jody said things actually got worse.
A social media campaign, which took off with the help of Mark’s older brother, Tim, and
a high school classmate, Chris Avery Arend, helped raise more than $7,500 to help the family with medical costs.
“He was in the hospital when our youngest, Sidney, was born almost two years ago,” Jody said. “He was on a feeding tube for a while. His legs have come around, but the neck and arms seem to be taking forever.”
Stiles works for Pella, the win-dow and door manufacturer, and he’s been able to work part-time for them from home. Mark said one of his goals for the months and years ahead is to return to working full-time.
“Pella has been absolutely wonderful to us,” Jody said.
Mark has gradually been able to walk with more and more ease and capability. He said his de-velopment in walking has been somewhat on the same schedule as the couple’s daughters,
Sidney, now almost 2 years old, and Sadie, who is 3.
Mark said his daughters are his greatest motivators, and he said
Mark Stiles’ completion of the YMCA Turkey Trot was a milestone of mobility
Two new properties available
for the D&D programBy Jamee A. Pierson
Newton Daily News
Two new properties are up for purchase con-sideration in the D&D program by the Newton City Council during its Monday meeting. A low-conditioned building at 221 E. Fourth Street S. is owned by Franklin C. George and available for $6,000. The property at 1124 S. Fifth Ave. E. is available for $5,000 and is owned by Nationwide Advantage Mortgage Company.
The council will also consider the installation of a single temporary direc-tional sign for the Foun-tain Hills Subdivision. It would be within the north right-of-way for South 12th Avenue West locat-ed in the 1900 block. The sign would stand 4 feet tall and would direct visitors to the subdivision. The costs for the sign would be handled by the Realtor marketing the homes.
A new snow removal equipment building is being considered at the Newton Municipal Air-port. The Federal Avia-tion Administration has approved a grant of the design and construction
of buildings used of the storage of snow removal equipment. The grant al-lows for a $280,000 proj-ect with the city contrib-uting $28,000. The design services would come from Clapsaddle-Garber Asso-ciates, Inc. from Marshall-town.
New warning sirens will be considered to re-place the no longer func-tioning sirens at East Seventh Street North and North Fourth Avenue East. The new until is a 130 decibel rotating siren from DANCO Emer-gency Services of Sny-der, Neb. It would cost $20,097 and be paid from the 2014 Ending Fund Balance.
In other business:• The council will con-
sider a records retention schedule to control the abundance of records that are created and received by the city.
• The Park Fee Sched-ule for 2015 will be dis-cussed.
• Bryan Friedman, Director of Finance and Development, will pres-ent a Newton Enterprises Apartment Project.

Poverty is issue Newton schools must address, officials say
By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News
Even though reconfigura-tion was the primary topic at two Newton events this week, students living in poverty was another topic brought up more than once.
At Monday’s Newton Com-munity School District board meeting, Associate Director of Elementary Services Jim Gil-bert discussed professional de-velopment and training specific to working with low Socioeco-nomic students.
At Tuesday’s Newton Rotary Club meeting, Newton Schools Superintendent Bob Callaghan pointed out how many more students’ families live below
the poverty line in 2014 com-pared to 2004, as defined by the number who quality for free or reduced-cost meals.
Gilbert was addressing the needs of district teachers dur-ing Monday’s school-board meeting discussion about re-configuration, after he had pre-sented teacher survey results. He was asked by school board president Sheri Benson for recommendations about what teachers needed from admin-istration in order to develop “confidence in skill ability in the core curriculum, so that they feel more confident in managing the diversity of their classrooms.”
Gilbert said it’s time for training that deals with how to
teach low- socioeconomic sta-tus children.
“That professional devel-opment should center around how to teach families in pov-erty,” Gilbert said. “We believe this is a fundamental piece of knowledge that we have visited in the past. We need to bring people back to our changing demographic. We have to rec-ognize that. We have a lot of new folks coming in, and they haven’t had that (type of train-ing). We think that’s an inte-gral part of this.”
Benson asked why, if such development is so important, isn’t such training happening in the district this year.
Jason W. Brooks/Daily NewsNewton Schools Superintendent Bob Callaghan made a presen-tation during the Newton Rotary Club’s weekly meeting Tuesday. One of the things he discussed was the increased number of stu-dents whose families qualify for a free or reduced lunch. POVERTY | 3A

Jody and several family mem-bers have been invaluable in his recovery.
“I have frustrating days,” Mark said. “But then I think of the family, especially the girls, and I keep pushing. Plus, Jody deserves a gold medal for all she’s been through in raising them and helping me with just about everything.”
Arend said seeing and hearing about the Stiles family is inspir-ing.
“His focus since his surgery has been to get better and stron-ger, and his motivation has been his girls,” Arend said. “He is such a good daddy, and those are two lucky little girls.”
Dick Stiles said the support Mark has received is a big part of what helped him get to the point of completing a 5K.
“He’s gotten some really good help from family and friends,” Dick said. “Chris (Arend) and a lot of other people have helped him in so many ways, from fi-nancially to encouraging words.”
Arend said Stiles’ story has
taught her to be thankful and appreciative of blessings.
“I know there were times where Mark thought that his improvement was slow and not happening as fast as he had hoped, but he never gave up, he kept working hard, which is ex-
actly why he is doing as well as he is today.”
Stiles keeps his strength with activities such as walking to the YMCA and working out with the Silver Sneakers, a retirement-age group.
“I’m half their age,” Mark
said. “But they’re great people.”He said the experience has
been humbling, and has taught him never to take anything for granted.
“When the chips are down, I still try to be an example of the kind of person I want others to be,” he said.
Arend said the example shown by the Stiles family should be emulated by others.
“Mark and Jody are an in-spiration to me and so many people,” Arend said. “Mark had such a positive attitude and was so determined to get better and stronger. I think in the dictionary, under the word determination, Mark Stiles should be listed in the definition, without a doubt.”
Jody said she’s learned to live in the moment more, and not be quite as concerned about the future.
“I take pleasure in the simple things like sitting on the couch with Mark and watching our daughters laugh and play togeth-er,” Jody said. “Rather than think about next week, next month, or next year, I appreciate the mo-ment for what it is.”
Jody and Mark both said she learned a lot of positive
things about Newton from how the community responded in her family’s time of need. Jody said neighbors and co-workers helped out in countless ways; both Jody’s and Mark’s parents made sacrifices; the YMCA staff was “instrumental,” and pastor Mark Young and others at First Christian Church did things like build a wheelchair ramp for Mark and help wheel him through snow for a Christmas Eve service when she was eight months pregnant with Sidney.
“We are truly blessed to live in such a generous and caring com-munity,” she said. “I don’t know that we would have had this sup-port had we lived anywhere else.”
Jody said the daughters, Sid-ney and Sadie, have already shown signs that they’re be-ing raised in a household built around gratitude.
“They do things like try to open doors for people,” Jody said regarding her young girls. “They’ve already developed a great deal of empathy for others who are in need.”

“We certainly could,” Gilbert replied. “We have been focusing a lot on math and reading There is a tipping point when you really have to work hard to get some-thing implemented with fidelity and integ-rity. And if you lock too many things on, things sometimes get watered down. We didn’t pur-posely leave it out; it
didn’t even come to our minds that we needed it.”
Callaghan said there’s been a huge eco-nomic shift over the past 10 years in Newton. Students who are from a family of two or three people, with a house-hold annual income of less than $26,000, or families of four or more with an income of less than $44,000, qualify for meal assistance. The amount of low-SES (socioeconomic
status) students has gone from 26 percent in 2004 to 52 per-cent in 2014, Cal-laghan said. The over-all enrollment is now close to 3000 students. “There is a huge corre-lation between low-SES and student achieve-ment,” Callaghan said. “We have to find new ways to address our low-socioeconomic kids.”

Shoppers will be lining up at the crack of dawn on “Black Friday” for spec-tacular deals. What they don’t know is that the best bargains have already been taken — not by other shoppers, but by some of America’s largest corpora-tions.
Walmart, the biggest corporation in America, with revenues of almost half a trillion dollars, gets a $1 billion tax break each year on average by exploit-ing federal tax loopholes, according to a new report from Americans for Tax Fairness. Taxpayers, even those lined up in the early morning darkness at giant retailers like Walmart, pay the price.
How? First, the more big corporations dodge paying their fair share of taxes, the more American families and small busi-nesses have to make up, or else there is less money available for critical invest-ments, such as rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, improving educa-tion and making college more affordable, or finding new medical cures.
When Black Friday shoppers check the prices, they’ll never see these hid-den costs of tax avoidance. But when Americans fig-ure out what’s going on they’ll have a bad case of the Black Friday Blues.
The $1 billion Walmart “saves” by ducking its fair share of federal taxes is a low estimate. It doesn’t count the taxes Walmart is avoiding on $21.4 billion in profits held offshore. Walmart has paid noth-ing to the U.S. Treasury on those earnings because cor-porations can indefinitely postpone paying U.S. taxes on offshore profits until they are brought back to America.
The retail giant is also working with other large corporations to deeply cut U.S. corporate tax rates. So while American families and small businesses con-tinue to recover from the worst financial crisis since
the Great Depression, huge corporations making record profits are trying to rewrite the law so they pay much less in taxes.
If these corporations are successful, they will blow a $1.3 trillion hole in the federal budget over the next 10 years. Walmart alone will pocket $720 million a year on average – in addition to the $1 bil-lion it already “saves” from current tax loopholes.
Big companies know that cutting corporate taxes isn’t popular with the public. Americans are outraged that profitable companies like General Electric, Verizon and Boe-ing — as well as 23 others — paid absolutely noth-ing in taxes over the past five years, according to the watchdog group Citizens for Tax Justice. Polls show that American families oppose lower corporate tax rates; instead, they want a more equitable tax system in which corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share.
Fighting for an unpop-ular cause like lowering corporate tax rates could hurt corporate brands with the public. So Walmart and other companies pay large industry coalitions to do the work of waging media campaigns and ca-joling members of Con-gress. Walmart is the only big box retailer that gives to all three of the indus-try groups that are trying to put a good face on bad policy — the RATE (Re-forming America’s Taxes Equitably) Coalition, Al-liance for Competitive Taxation and the Business Roundtable.
These organizations decry the 35 percent tax rate corporations are sup-posed to pay on profits when they know full well that they actually pay far less. Profitable corpora-tions paid U.S. income taxes amounting to just 12.6 percent of worldwide income in 2010, according to the Government Ac-countability Office.
The camera loved SebergBarry Hurto Newton
My brother and I had the op-portunity to travel to Marshalltown to participate in the festivities of the 4th Annual Jean Seberg Interna-tional Film Festival in honor of the late Iowa actress who became a re-spected actress in France following a disappointing U.S. debut with Otto Preminger’s “Saint Joan” in 1957.
We had the pleasure of seeing
again the ground-breaking French film “Breathless”/”A Bout de Souf-fle,” New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard’s debut work shot in Paris in 1959.
Seberg was only 21 when she startled viewers with a surprisingly mature performance as Patricia Franchini, a New York Herald-Tribune reporter tangled up with a small time, self-obsessed hood played by the charismatic Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Made on a shoestring budget, “Breathless” heralded in a great
many attempts to copy its suc-cess, and it remains amazingly fresh when seen today. In fact, according to a 2012 British poll about the best films ever made, “Breathless” ranked 13th.
One thing is certain: the cam-era loved Seberg, and she was indeed an actress to be reckoned with and probably ahead of her time. An added treat came with our being able to visit briefly with former Newton residents Mary Ann and Ed Shuey. Mary Ann is Jean Seberg’s sister.

“A pumpkin! Mama, look! Pumpkin! Pumpkin!”
“That’s not a pumpkin, baby. That’s Bill Murray.”
My 2-year-old was not con-vinced.
“Pumpkin! Pumpkin! Pump-kin!” he repeated, bashing his pointer finger into my magazine at the picture of the “SNL” alum.
My son is slightly obsessed with pumpkins. Not jack-o’-lanterns. Pumpkins. Nothing has brought him more delight in his short life than our neighbor-hood’s Halloween decorations. In the week that followed the haunted holiday, my son became quite distraught by the disappear-ing squashes. He would look up with his puppy eyes, questioning, Where have all the pumpkins gone? Cue Pete Seeger song.
But now, finally, he had found his long lost love in the periodi-cal I was paging through. Only it wasn’t a pumpkin. It was Bill Murray.
I found an actual picture of the orange squash and said, “Here, baby, that’s a pumpkin.” My son took the photo and gig-gled excitedly, slurring words un-der his joy, “Bill Murray.”
Good gravy.As a first-time mom experi-
encing such a bizarre switcheroo,
I came to the natural conclusion that my son has a neurological disorder. Perhaps it’s some form of synesthesia, but rather than hear music when he sees letters or smell bacon when he digs in the dirt, my son associates gourds with Ghostbusters. Or if it’s not symptomatic of sensory process-ing issues, perhaps some un-known brain trauma to my child has created this odd holiday con-fusion. We’re celebrating Hallow-een, but he thinks it’s Groundhog Day. Bill Murrays everywhere!
I know what you’re thinking. 1) A disorder that made you see Bill Murrays at every door come late October would be awesome, but 2) I’m just a neurotic mom, and my son does not have said disorder or brain damage.
And you may be right. But if you’re wrong, the Thanksgiving holiday may cause some serious issues. For instance, what if his brain problem-thingy is real and he confuses Turkey Day with Eas-ter? Sure, it seems cute when he is breaking open the rolls thinking they are Easter eggs and expect-ing to find jelly beans inside. But what if he confuses the turkey with something else? Watching Mom carve into a 20-pound Easter Bunny is the kind of trauma you don’t bounce back from!
If his confusion stems from some weird sensory association between Bill Murray and pump-kins, how will my son feel about being served his Thanksgiving pumpkin pie? Is it cannibalism? Might he report us to the police? Or will the pie be all the more de-licious because it’s seasoned with Murray’s improvisational wit and humor?
Is this simply a gourd issue, or do my son’s potential prob-lems extend to all Thanksgiv-ing vegetables? Are the yams Justin Bieber? The green-bean casserole Vladimir Putin? Friends and family have unani-mously discouraged me from getting my son tested (or I’m sure they would if I dared to ask), but I have found solace in knowing that this Thanks-giving will be relatively free from trauma. This year, we’re skirting tradition — and or-dering pizza. Yes, pizza. Why, you ask? It’s simple math, really.
Turkey Day has always been about family, friends and football. My husband and I moved away from family long ago, and over the past two years, our beautiful group of friends, our surrogate family, has moved away from us. Of the required family, friends
and football, we have been left alone on Thanksgiving with the pigskin. And where there is just football, there is pizza.
I do wonder sometimes whether this year’s festive faux pas is destined to become one of the defining moments of my son’s childhood. Will he grow up weird because he never had to sit around the table and lis-ten to Grandpa’s endless stories about ear hair? Will he be di-agnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder for not ingesting copious amounts of sedatives known as turkey dur-ing his formative years?
Then I think about how fabulous it will be to not spend the day in the kitchen. Watch-ing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in pajamas with my baby, eating scrambled eggs and Stove Top stuffing for break-fast. Sure, ordering pizza seems lame. That is, until I use cookie cutters to cut out turkey shapes from the pizza pie! So fun! We will have marshmallows with-out the yams! Cornbread with-out the corn! Thanksgiving without the trauma!
Well, potentially free of trauma. Let’s be honest; it’s not Thanksgiving without a warm slice of Bill Murray pie.
Black Friday Blues
Gobble up! It’s Bill Murray Day!

DEAR ABBY: I was married to a wonderful woman who passed away five months ago after a heart at-tack. Why do people act as if the one who has passed away never existed? PLEASE talk about her. Talk about her often. Tell me good things about her.
If you wonder about the right thing to say — and I believe all mourners should hear it — here it is: Tell me my wife loved me, tell me I made her happy, tell me she knew I loved her and knew she made me happy. Repeat it as often as you can. Out of all the friends we had, only one couple said those words to me. When I heard them I cried, but I was also comforted.
Also, it seems like many of my so-called friends have fallen off the face of the earth. Now is when they are need-ed most. I wish I knew why they don’t come to see me. Is it me? — ALONE IN ALABAMA
DEAR ALONE: Probably not. There could be more than one reason for it. With many couples, it is the wife who “nurtures” the social relationships. Also, your friends may be afraid that because they are couples and you are a widower, you might be uncomfortable spending time with them.
Something similar may be caus-ing their reluctance to talk about your wife. They may fear that bringing her up in conversation will somehow cause you pain, which is why they avoid it. Death is an uncomfortable subject for many people, but I hope my readers will take your comments to heart.
If you want to end your isolation, you may have to call your friends and invite THEM instead of being passive and waiting for them to contact you. Please accept my sympathy for your loss.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are approaching our 25th wedding an-niversary. I think it’s quite an accom-
plishment, since many of the couples we know have called it quits.
I’d like to celebrate with a wedding-themed party with our friends and family, renewing our vows in front of them. In addition, I’d like my girl-friends to wear a bridesmaid dress from a wedding they have been in and stand with me.
My husband thinks a party would be “showing off ” and that we should celebrate quietly, just the two of us. I’m surprised we could be married for so long and not be able to come to an agreement about this. How should we celebrate this big day? — UNDE-CIDED IN NEW YORK
DEAR UNDECIDED: It’s not showing off to renew wedding vows on significant anniversaries — many people do, and a silver anniversary def-initely qualifies. A party would be ap-propriate, but rather than expect your friends to dig old bridesmaid’s dresses out of their closets — if they even have them — wouldn’t it be more considerate to give them the option of wearing cocktail dresses they feel comfortable in if they wish? Hopefully, most if not all of them are also happily married, and if that’s the case, I’m sure your anniversary party won’t seem like one-upmanship to anyone.

Trial delayed until January for ex-Iowa officer
FOREST CITY — A January date has been set for another trial of a former For-est City police officer charged with bur-glary and arson.
In May the Iowa Court of Appeals or-dered a new trial for 37-year-old Thad-deus Ellenbecker. The Appeals Court said officers failed to read Ellenbecker his Miranda rights. Court records say Ellen-becker’s new trial had been scheduled for Oct. 29 and then Dec. 10. Now it’s set to begin on Jan. 21.

The office says the woman’s car had become stuck on the tracks and was hit by a locomotive pulling a westbound train. The car was knocked off the tracks.

Former toll booth saved to help tourismThe Associated Press
DECATUR, Neb. — Decatur residents are hoping a former toll booth will help attract visitors to the eastern Nebraska community.
The Burt County Bridge Commission used to collect $1 tolls from motorists travel-ing on Highway 51 to cross a bridge over the Missouri River between Iowa and Nebraska. The mon-ey was used to pay off the bridge, which opened in 1955, and its maintenance costs.
But then the com-mission sold the bridge last fall to the two states. The cross-
ing is now supported with tax dollars, elim-inating the need for a toll. The vacant toll booth was set for de-molition.
Residents partici-pating this summer in a program with the Center for Rural Af-fairs, a national advo-cacy group that works to revive family farms and small towns, were searching for a land-mark that would at-tract visitors to De-catur. They settled on the toll booth.
Jim Maryott, a for-mer toll-taker who lives near the booth, told the newspaper the state will help pay to move the struc-ture somewhere else
in Decatur. He said there are discussions between residents about where it will be placed, with Main Street being one op-tion.
Maryott said he’s
happy to know the booth won’t be razed. He said he has fond memories of talking with the people who pulled up to the win-dow day after day to pay the toll.

Holiday shoppers will spend cautiouslyNEW YORK (AP)
— Falling gas prices. Soaring stock market. Unemployment at a six-year-low.
All signs point to a successful holiday shop-ping season. Despite the economic tail winds, though, retailers are finding themselves hav-ing to work to get shop-pers into stores.
Why? Five years into the economic recovery, most Americans still are struggling.
Gas prices may be hovering at a four-year low, but Americans are paying more for food, health care and other costs. Unemployment is falling, too, but wage growth has been stag-nant. And even though the stock and housing markets have improved, Americans haven’t changed their deal-hun-gry shopping habits.
“Retail therapy is out the window for most Americans,” said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics LLC, a
research firm.Not that this holiday
season is expected to be a dud. In fact, the Na-tional Retail Federation forecasts holiday sales will grow 4.1 percent to $616.9 billion — the highest increase since 2011. But retailers al-ready have had to resort to discounting to get shoppers into stores.
But heavy discount-ing eats into profits. For example, over the past weekend, online sales rose 18.7 percent, but the average order value was $112.86, down 5.4 percent for the same period a year ago be-cause of promotions, ac-cording to IBM Digital Analysts Benchmark, which tracks sales at 800 websites.
Reflecting the tough environment, major de-partment stores, includ-ing Macy’s, J.C. Penney and Kohl’s, reported sales shortfalls in the quarter preceding the holiday shopping sea-son. Discounters like
Target and Wal-Mart turned in better-than-expected sales, but ac-knowledged that shop-pers are cautious.
Take Amanda Simp-son, 39, who works in public relations in Den-ton, Texas. The mother of two young children plans to spend $700 on holiday gifts, down from last year’s $1,000.
Simpson says now that the economy is im-proving, she’s focusing on building her savings. She and her husband, a government worker, are juggling daycare costs and higher health care expenses. Even the extra $20 a week from falling gas prices is going to-ward bills.
“I definitely feel bet-ter,” she said. “But as a family, we are trying to be more fiscally conser-vative.”
Here are some rea-sons many Americans plan to spend conserva-tively this holiday season even though economic factors have improved:
SLOW WAGE GROWTH
Paychecks have barely stayed ahead of inflation since the recession end-ed more than five years ago.
Average hourly wag-es, adjusted for infla-tion, rose just 0.3 per-cent in September from a year earlier. And many Americans, who once worked full time now have part-time jobs. There are still nearly 2 million fewer people working full time in De-cember 2007, when the Great Recession began.
That’s one reason shoppers might not spend briskly during the holiday despite the fact that the U.S. jobless rate hit 5.8 percent last month, down 1.5 percentage points from a year ago.
“The unemployment number is a bogus num-ber,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a re-tail consultancy. “What drives spending is income growth.”

Newton Daily News SPORTSnewtondailynews.com Facebook.com/newtondailynews @newtondnewsCONTACT: Jocelyn Sheets • [email protected]
Being a sports journalist allows my inner daredevil to come out in many ways.
I turned 57 Monday. I’ve been a sports re-porter since I was a freshman in high school.
There was a happy birthday posting on my Facebook page by a friend which reminded me that I’ve not backed down from the challenges of cover-ing all types of sports. That posting jarred my memory of several experiences over the years.
“You are a special lady. How many others do you know brave enough to get in an arena while the rodeo rough stock events are going on?”
Yes, I was inside the arena during bull riding, bronc rid-ing events at rodeos in Kan-sas. The two publications I worked for dur-ing my career tenure of more than 30 years in Southeast Kansas covered the annual county fair professional rodeos. Actually for most of those years, the two rodeos were sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Associa-tion bringing in some of the top talent includ-ing former and current national PRCA cham-pions and the rising stars of the sport.
My first year out of college I faced the prospect of covering rodeo, a sport I had not much knowledge of — kind of like how it was when I came to Newton and knew I had the challenge of covering NASCAR and IndyCar racing. In both cases, I met great people who guided me through the ins and outs.
That first rodeo in Mound City, Kan., was interesting. I’m sure the area rodeo fans, who I became very good friends with throughout a five-year run at the small weekly newspa-per, had a good laugh watching the short, fat woman out in the arena.
I was told by a seasoned rodeo photogra-pher the safest place during the bull riding event was in the middle of the arena in front of the bucking chutes.
But … we decided to have me stand to the side where I could get a good shot of the first few seconds of action out the chute then turn and grab the sturdy arena fence and climb. Over the years, it became a strong bond with my Linn County friends and I at the rodeo — the laughs and talks we had throughout the rodeo.
The closest I came to getting kicked was by a bucking horse as it went past the fence I was up on. As for the bulls, I was shooting from behind the chutes one night. It’s usually a safe place where the contestants and officials move around.
That night, one of the Rumford Rodeo bulls decided it was time for him to get out of the chute before the cowboy was on his back. The bull came up and over the chute fence on the backside. There was a lot of scurrying.
I moved on to a daily newspaper just 40 miles to the west, where I covered 29 coun-ty fair rodeos in Allen County at Iola, Kan. There was a time when these two rodeos were connected in a pro rodeo series, where special trophy belt buckles for each event were on the line and big prize money.
During the early years in Iola, I amazed people of my prowess (or lack of it) in the rodeo arena to get the photos while maneu-vering away from the bulls, horses and steers. Then, a new flag pole base was built right out-side the fence near the front of the arena.
It was a concrete square base built for a pa-tron of the long-time fair rodeo.
The top of the base was big enough and tall enough for me to sit on top and have a great photo shooting area of the bucking chutes. I still went in the arena for the steer wrestling and several other roping events.
I have missed rodeo. I grew to enjoy the two-night events.
Now, I dodge flying lug nuts on pit road and tires being tossed around. I’ve found a couple of good shooting perches in the two racing seasons I’ve been here at Iowa Speed-way.
Another way I allowed myself to dare to do something different was one summer with my sister. We vowed on our short vacation to Hot Springs, Ark., to do something we’d never done before.
Well, have you ever seen a squaty-body such as me parasailing above the lake waters? That’s another story for another time.
Just now, it’s alright to try news things and allow that inner daredevil to fly.

Iowa hosts Nebraska in finale
Troy Hyde/Daily News file photoIowa tailback Mark Weisman (45) runs over a pair of Nebraska tacklers during last year’s Black Friday Big Ten Confer-ence game at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. Weisman scored a pair of touchdowns in the 38-17 Hawkeye win and will try to help Iowa make it two straight against the Huskers today. Kickoff from Iowa City’s Kinnick Stadium was slated for just after 11 a.m. Weisman also is one of 17 seniors that will be recognized before the game.
Hawks inspired by teammate in latest winIOWA CITY (AP)
— Iowa’s Gabe Olaseni inspired his teammates just by playing.
Olaseni had 10 points, five rebounds and four blocks in 20 min-utes after learning that his father died earlier Wednesday. The Hawk-eyes rallied around him in an emotional 70-49 win over Northern Il-linois.
“He didn’t hesitate,” Iowa coach Fran Mc-Caffery said of Olaseni’s decision to play. “One of the last things his fa-ther said was that he’s so proud of Gabe, and he wants him to maximize this opportunity his se-nior year.”
Aaron White and Anthony Clemmons each scored 14 points to lead the Hawkeyes (4-2). Adam Woodbury added 12 points and six rebounds.
Aaric Armstead
scored 13 points on 4-of-11 shooting to lead Northern Illinois (2-1). Jordan Threloff added nine points and 11 re-bounds.
McCaffery an-nounced after the game that Olas-eni’s father, Benson, died unexpectedly in England after being sick for a short period of time.
Gabe Olaseni spoke with his family and Io-wa’s coaching staff via Skype in McCaffery’s office before the game.
Olaseni’s mother, Yvette, encouraged him to play.
His father didn’t want to do anything that would impact his season.
Olaseni had a chance to play in front of his parents in the sum-mer of 2013 when Iowa played a pair of exhibi-
tion games in London.White said the team
was proud of how Olas-eni played.
“He’s like a brother to us, especially to me,” White said. “It hit me hard, but the best thing
I can do is just be there for him and love him like a brother.”
Iowa scored 22 points off 17 turnovers, blocked 12 shots — one shy of tying the school record — and held the Huskies to only 28 per-cent shooting.
The Hawkeyes used a 16-0 run during a six-minute stretch early in the first half to pull away from Northern Illinois. The Huskies never got closer than 10 points in the second half.
Clemmons tied his career high in points
with an efficient 3-of-6 shooting from the floor, including two 3-point-ers, and hitting 6-of-7 free throws.
Josh Oglesby added a season-best nine points for the Hawkeyes.
Iowa starters Jarrod Uthoff and Mike Gesell combined to shoot 0-of-10 from the field.
The pair had been av-eraging 20.2 points per game. Uthoff made an impact elsewhere, tal-lying six rebounds and career highs with five blocks and four assists.
Gesell also finished with a team-high five assists and pulled down three rebounds.
The Hawkeyes had 16 assists on 25 field goals.
Northern Illinois’ Travon Baker missed all 11 of his shot attempts after scoring 14 points in the Huskies’ last game against Idaho.

Red-hot Panthers stay unbeaten after dominant victory over Northwestern
CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — Seth Tuttle scored 19 points and Northern Iowa beat Northwestern 61-42 to claim the Cancun Chal-lenge championship.
Nate Buss added 11 points, including three 3-pointers, as the Panthers (6-0) posted their 11th win all-time against a Big Ten team.
The Panthers also knocked off two major conference schools by double-digits in back-to-back games for the first time in school his-tory.
They beat Virginia Tech 73-54 to reach the Cancun Challenge title game.
Northwestern (5-
1) took an 18-14 lead at 10:14 of the first half after a layup and 3-pointer by Alex Olah, but Northern Iowa went on a 17-2 run to close the half, includ-ing a pair of treys by Buss, to lead 31-20 at the break. The Pan-thers were 14-of-24 (58 percent) from the floor before intermission and 48 percent overall.
Tuttle was named the MVP of the Cancun Challenge. Wes Wash-pun also landed on the All-Tournament team.
The Wildcats got it to 10 with 11:05 left, but a pair of free throws and a dunk by Tuttle pushed it back to 16.
Bryant McIntosh led
Northwestern with 13 points. The Wildcats shot just 30 percent (16 of 53) and were 5-of-21 beyond the arc.
This was the first meeting between the two teams.
Northern Iowa for-ward Marvin Singleton had nine rebounds and has recorded at least six rebounds in each game to lead the team on the glass.
The Panthers out-re-bounded Northwestern, 36-28.
This is the second time Northern Iowa has started a season 6-0 since moving to Divi-sion I, matching its re-cord in the 1999-2000 season.

Astrograph
The moon moves from Aquarius to Pisces, insist-ing that we answer the call of a higher purpose. The Sagittarius sun draws us out of ourselves and emboldens our actions. Those who need help will be more likely to ask for it, and those who have help to give will be generous. The exchange of goodness elevates every soul.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 28). The confidence you earn from mastering a skill in December will seep into every area of your life. New relationships and joint ventures percolate. You’ll have to choose between a professional and personal goal in January. Eventually, you can do both, but you’ll have to show where your priorities lie first. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 11, 14, 2 and 19.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Right now, holiday miracles are worth believing in. Magic can happen if you only believe hard enough. And you, more than any other sign
these days, have the will to believe hard.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your compas-sion and patience will be called upon. Keep in mind that those appearing bad-tempered may not really be angry with anyone so much as ill equipped for the stressors of the season.
AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb. 18). It’s better to under-schedule than over-schedule. People make mistakes when they feel rushed. You’ll get the best out of others when you’re easygoing about matters of timing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The system that bril-liantly keeps you organized on an average day will not work as well today. You’re in expansion mode, so expect that the rules will change and things will get a little messy.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are no bad guys around you today, only people doing their best in an awkward situation.
So you’re doling out the compassion and trying to find the humor in all of this, too.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Much will depend on your ability to manage the expectations of those around you. One strategy is to keep some of your plans a secret that you reveal only on a need-to-know basis.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Matters of identity will get your attention. The story behind your name may be part of this. You’ll also notice that your name sounds different to you when a certain person says it. Why do you think that is?
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Good intentions will not always be enough to make goodness happen, but it’s certainly a start. You will learn by letting your heart be open while you observe another person.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may feel ambiguous about making social plans.
Even though it’s nice to be asked, you’ll be picky about where you go and with whom you spend time. This comes with the territory when you’re try-ing to simplify your life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You won’t be rich in self-control today, but you can still set yourself up for success by reducing the number of distractions and temptations in your environment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may perceive a partner to be the cause of your feelings (good and bad), when in fact the other person cannot induce any feeling that is not already in you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t feel that you have to be the leader at all times, but when you do take charge, it will be greatly fulfilling. Once you’ve decided on your mission, the group will rally behind you.
