Car runs into house after collision with truck

By Jamee A. PiersonNewton Daily News

A Cardinal Cab Company car ran into a D&D Program house after colliding with a truck at 403 E. Fourth St. N. Wednesday.

The car was traveling east on North Fourth Avenue East when it went through the inter-section hitting the back right bumper of the truck, which was traveling south on East Fourth Street North, Officer Brian Foster said. The car continued

through the intersection, driv-ing through the yard before hitting the house, which is set for demolition through the cit-ies D&D Program. The truck was turned facing north after the collision.

There were no injuries re-ported from the accident and investigations are still ongo-ing. Currently, no charges have been filed.

Wellness Coalition plans upcoming event

By Jamee A. PiersonNewton Daily News

Discussions continued about upcoming events including the 2015 Kick Off at the Newton High School, the Wellness Lead-ers Workshop and Newton Talks at the Newton Wellness Coali-tion meeting Wednesday. A task force was also formed to address the work needed to be done for the Kick Off.

“We have quite a few activi-ties in the works right now,” said Sheri Bensen, coalition member.

The group decided to keep

the date of Jan. 30 for the High School Kick Off at the girls and boys basketball games. It is leg-acy night at the game and the group hopes it will draw a large crowd to help promote wellness in the community.

The group planned a simi-lar event last year and will once again plan to do an exercise rou-tine, hopefully in between games potentially with a fun theme to coordinate with the student cheering section. It will also have community members exercising during both games, with tallies kept of how many calories the

people have burned or how far they have “traveled” while run-ning or riding.

The Wellness Leaders Work-shop is set for March 6 at DMACC and work is being done to recruit local businesses and the wellness leaders that are in charge of wellness programs at the business to the workshop. The group expanded its reach to include restaurants and fitness centers, as businesses that em-ployee a larger workforce.

Capitol Issues: Kelley to again push renewable energy, drug enforcement in 2015 Legislative session

The following is the first in a three part series of discus-sions over topics effecting Jas-per County and Iowa citizens ahead of the 2015 Iowa Legis-lative Session. Today’s edition features excerpts from an inter-view between Reporter Mike Mendenhall and Iowa State House District 29 Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton). In the Dec. 26 edition see an interview with Iowa Senate District 15 Sentaor-elect Chaz Allen (D-Newton) and Jan. 2, District 28 Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Melcher-Dallas).

NDN: Tell our readers about your recent trip to Washing-

ton D.C., and how it relates to your activi-ties in the state legislature. Can you speak about the renewable energy initia-tives you were working on in Washington?

Kelley: I was on a trip sponsored by the National Caucus of Envi-ronmental Legislators. They arranged for me to be a part of a meeting with the White House and representatives from the (Obama) Admin-

istration involved in climate and energy to discuss what is needed in the states concern-ing support for renewable fuels and renewable energy from the Administration. I also met with Congressman (Dave) Loebsack’s (D-IA) of-fice, the congressman himself and met fellow state legisla-tors from all over the country. I did have talks with those from the Dakotas concerning the (Dakota Access) pipeline as well.

NDN: You mentioned before our interview that you had met with some representatives from the electric car company Tesla

Motors, trying to get their mod-els on the road in Iowa. Can you tell us about your conversation with those folks? What do you think it will take to get Tesla and the necessary electronic in-frastructure on Iowa roads?

Kelley: The east coast and west coast are far more ad-vanced in terms of getting electric cars on the roads, and there are actually some regu-lations that are holding up that progress in the Midwest — Iowa is certainly included in that. I’ve been meeting and talking with representatives of both Tesla and General Mo-tors to see if we can’t find a

way to eliminate these regu-lations so consumers have the freedom to purchase electric cars if they so choose in the state of Iowa. Currently, you have to go outside of the state — I believe the closest place to go to purchase a Tesla right now is Chicago — and then bring it back to Iowa. I want to put our dealers in a posi-tion where they can sell that product, and I want to put the consumer in a position where they can make that choice if they so choose.

NDN: You’re preparing to

Some reports indicate that individuals gain an average of seven pounds over the holiday season.

Prevent that from happen-ing to you by following a few of these tips to stave off the holiday pounds:

Be diligent about exercise Continue with your regu-

lar exercise routine. If you are not a regular exerciser, now is a great time to start. The exercise will help you manage stress and burn off a few of those extra calories you have consumed.

It takes 30 minutes of brisk walking for a 150-pound per-son to burn the calories in a 2-ounce piece of fudge; 60 minutes of aerobic dancing plus 40 minutes of housework

to burn off one slice of pump-kin pie.

Think moderationKeep portions small. Avoid

the all-or-nothing mindset.Enjoy a taste of your favorite holiday foods. If it does not taste fabulous, do not finish it.

Eat slowlyGive your stomach and your

brain time to feel satisfied. Sa-vor every little bite.

Be pickyPlan to sample your very fa-

vorite foods; special foods you only eat this time of year and let the rest go. Spend your cal-ories wisely.

Plan ahead for parties and goodies at work

Prepare a fruit salad or a veg-gie tray for the party or food

day at work. Avoid the area where the food is kept if pos-sible. Chew gum; it will help stop you from putting food in your mouth.

Keep your hunger under control; if you are starving you are more likely to indulge.

Holiday bakingPrepare those traditional

holiday items and store out-of-sight, freeze or give-away to limit the temptation.

Modify your recipe to make it healthier. There are many substitutions that will save on calories, fat and carbohydrates and no one will know the dif-ference!

If you do overdo, let it goGet back on track as soon

as possible — don’t wait until Jan. 2 — and think positive thoughts.

Plan for a healthy holiday season

File PhotoWith family gatherings, parties with friends and Christmas work celebrations, it’s easy to indulge more than usual throughout the holiday season. Eating in moderation, preparing healthier food options and forgiving yourself for in-dulging are important behavior reminders to keep from gaining any extra pounds and enjoying a guilty free month.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to arrive home after a long day at work to a meal that takes less than 20 minutes to make? Wouldn’t it also be great if that meal was delicious as well as good for your health?

The following tips will help you plan and prepare quick, healthy, and tasty meals for you and your family.

Your freezer is your friend Homemade soups, sloppy joes, cas-

seroles — all of these (and many other foods) freeze very well. Make a few meals in an afternoon, freeze them for later, then you have simple meals that only require thawing and heating on those busy days. Even better, start a cooking club with your friends! Newton Hy-Vee is happy to introduce DISH (Dinner Is Solved at Hy-Vee) freezer meal workshops starting in January.

Wash and cut fruits, vegetables for the whole week

Get your cutting board and a sharp

knife ready and spend an hour washing and chopping all your fruits and vegeta-bles at one time. You’ll be more likely to consume these nutrient-packed foods if they are ready to eat and you can elimi-nate one step from the cooking process on those hectic evenings. Prep any fruits and vegetables you will need for break-fasts, lunches, dinners and snacks. You’ll thank yourself later.

Plan your meals out for the week – and include plenty of simple meals Dinner at home doesn’t mean you

have to cook elaborate meals. Frozen or canned vegetables require little effort to prepare and are just as nutritious as fresh. Whole grains such as brown rice, wild rice and quinoa are also hands-off sides that will get dinner on the table quickly while packing a nutritional punch.

start your third term in the Iowa House, and you’ve been a supporter of renewable energy since the beginning of your first term. What pieces of legisla-tion do you see coming before the House this term that will benefit green jobs in Iowa? Can you also talk about your push for hydro-electric power?

Kelley: As a state legisla-tor, one of the most valu-able tools that I have is I can communicate with people in Washington —whether it be within the presidential administration or our con-gressional delegation. That is the purpose of my trip to Washington last week. I was encouraging support for the renewable fuel standard, as well as the further extension of the wind production tax credit. Renewable energy and renewable fuel jobs provide living wage jobs here in Jasper County, and in an effort to improve the quality of those jobs and the number of those jobs, we must continue poli-cies that are already working. It’s common sense to keep doing what works and that was my message to Wash-ington, Congressman Loe-bsack, as well as members of the intergovernmental body that works to communication between state legislators and the White House.

I have a bill I’m putting together that will call for a study on the Mississippi Riv-er. There are 10 sites along the Mississippi River and the Iowa border which would be suitable for the production of hydroelectric power. If we were to find the power com-pany that is willing to further invest in hydroelectric in the state of Iowa and go forward with some of these potential projects, we could produce 25 percent of Iowa’s energy needs from hydroelectric power. If we were to do that just with wind and hydro, we’d produce 50 percent of our energy needs for electric power.

There is great potential, just as we are to the point with wind where we can export that power and bring money back into Iowa, we can get to that point with hydroelectric power. I actually developed an interest and some knowl-edge in hydroelectric power through meeting members of the Manitoba legislature in Winnipeg. Manitoba is a major exporter of hydroelec-tric power. They export it to Minnesota, they export pow-er to the Dakotas and that is a major part of their econo-my. When water flows and we don’t capture that energy, we’re wasting energy and we’re not taking advantage of jobs and we are further dam-aging our environment and our climate with the current

method that produces green-house gas emissions.

NDN: The largest por-tion of the Iowa segment of the Dakota Access Pipeline is com-ing through Jasper County — 33.73 miles. Can you tell me how you feel about some of the tax incentives Jasper County could see such as property tax revenue? Does that alleviate some of your concerns about the pipeline?

Kelley: My concern with the Dakota Access Pipeline is that Jasper County home-owners, landowners and farmers who have been ap-proached by Dakota Access — in terms of running the pipeline through their area — is that they are treated fairly and that they have proper le-gal representation before en-tering any contract.

I’m very clearly on the side of renewable energy jobs. I’m concerned that when oil from the Dakotas is moved through Iowa to Texas to a refinery then shipped to the gulf coast for Asian export, Iowans will not see a reduc-tion in gas prices. This won’t help Jasper County families’ pocket books. But it will put our clean energy jobs at stake. I understand that the pipeline comes at a very high price.

We need to look for per-manent solutions in Jasper County, in terms of our econ-omy and funding of our local governments. We will do that through pursuing the perma-

nent and quality jobs that will come from renewable energy. Projects like the Dakota Ac-cess pipeline puts those jobs in jeopardy. That is cause for concern.

NDN: What is your stance on allowable growth for edu-cation? Do you support giving schools a 2-year notice of allow-able growth, and how do you feel the legislature has handled this in recent history?

Kelley: I support following the law, and the law states the legislature is supposed to set allowable growth within the first 30 days of convening our session. Every year I’ve been in the legislature I’ve voted consistently to require the majority party to bring al-lowable growth up for a vote within those 30 days. Each year I’ve been in the legisla-ture they have refused. That is frustrating. It’s more frustrat-ing for local school boards, local administrators, teachers, students and families than it is for me. It’s their education that’s on the line, and it’s very disappointing that the ma-jority party doesn’t put them first.

NDN: You’ve taken a tougher stance than some in your party on the legalization of marijuana. Can you tell me why you oppose full legaliza-tion of recreational marijuana when many other states have been taking that route? Do you think potential sales tax or any tax revenue from that product

could benefit Iowa?Kelley: I think there are

high prices to pay for legal-ization. I don’t support ille-gal drugs. There are no drugs I’d like to see become legal. I think the state of Iowa needs to focus on sparking our economy through support for agriculture, support for renewable energy and seek-ing employers from the coasts and other parts of the Mid-west who may want to locate their jobs here where we have a quality work ethic and qual-ity workers. I believe that ef-forts to legalize illegal drugs are misplaced efforts.

NDN: What about the med-ical use of marijuana? Can you explain your stance on that, and do you see any possible use for cannabis oil?

Kelley: The bill that came before the legislature last ses-sion is incredibly flawed. It does not accomplish its goal, and there are many of my fellow legislators who have come to me and told me that I made the right choice on the last night of the session when I chose to vote against the bill. The bill (required) a study from the University of Iowa that would determine whether cannabis oil actually helps medically or not. That study did not happen and it’s highly unlikely to happen be-cause our bill violated federal drug policy. It was the right vote, and I’m proud to have taken it.

Final dates have not been set, but organizers will potentially have two dates in the late Spring and two more in the late Fall. Another option is to hold all four in April and May.

“Have a conversation between whoever is facili-tating it and the people,” said Nathan Unsworth, coalition member.

The talks will consist of a group of four people telling their story, having a discussion among them-selves and take questions from the crowd. Potential speakers include those who have lost a dramatic amount of weight and kept it off along with people who are disabled and how they maintain their well-ness.

I can’t recall ever read-ing a book of short sto-ries where the first-per-son narrator is a different pe r son in each s t o r y . Y e p , P h i l K l a y did it. T y p i -c a l l y , y o u ’ l l see the s a m e pe r son r e s u r -facing throughout a col-lection, and you look for it, or at least I do. It takes an unbelievable amount of talent to switch per-spective 13 different times, but in “Redploy-ment,” Phil Klay does just that. For his talent and gut-gripping tales, he received the National Book Award. It’s his first book.

Not your typical blood-and-guts Iraq/Afghanistan war stories, this book has some real literary meat to it. The stories carry the book, the occasional drop-your-socks prose is a side benefit.

In the first story, “Re-deployment,” for which the book is named, the narrator is a Marine enlisted man return-ing home after his first tour of duty. “We took my combat pay and did a lot of shopping. Which is how America fights back against the terrorists.”

In “FRAGO,” the narrator is an active duty sergeant in Iraq. By the way, “FRAGO” stands for “Fragmen-tary Order,” which Klay doesn’t define, nor does he define any of the many military ac-ronyms he uses. I had to Google them. But telling a story in un-defined acronyms sort of lends itself to the whole feeling of the book in a military/war sort of way.

In “After Action Re-port,” the narrator is Lance Corporal Suba. Suba is asked to take credit for a “kill” when the soldier who did the shooting can’t own up to it, because the “hajji”

was a teenager. Suba talks to the chaplain (“Chaps”), who be-comes the narrator in a later story.

In “Bodies,” the narrator is a Mortu-ary Affair Marine, i.e. a soldier who cleans up bodies after they’re dead.

In “Money as a Weapons System,” the narrator is a For-eign Service Officer. “In Vietnam they had Whores,” the narra-tor is a sniper, viewing eyes from a thousand meters. In “Psychologi-cal Operations,” the narrator is Coptic and an Iraq veteran attend-ing NYU. “There’s a perversity in me, that when I talk to conser-vatives, makes me want to bash the war and, when I talk to liberals, defend it.”

In “Unless it ’s a Suck-ing Chest Wound,” the narrator is a Marine officer veteran in law school. “...a tick would try to feed off any liq-uid at the temperature of mammalian blood,” and “You don’t want to be the guy bailing water out of a sinking ship,” and “I don’t have PTSD, but I guess her thinking that I did is part of the weird ped-estal vets are on now.”

“In Ten KLIKS South,” the narrator is a Marine Artilleryman. A “klik” is a thousand meters (I had to look it up). Check this out for an opening para-graph: “This morning our gun dropped about 270 pounds of ICM on a smuggler’s check-point ten kliks south of us. We took out a group of insurgents and then we went to the Fallujah chow hall for lunch. I got fish and lima beans. I try to eat healthy.”

Through character-ization, language, and point-of-view, Phil Klay has written a poi-gnant, gut wrenching set of stories that tell it like it is. I hope he has more stories in him in the future.

It is during this time of year we gets a bit more nostalgic than other times. We search out the things of our youth. Clayma-tion Rudolphs and Heatmeisers once again become vogue. It is not at any other time of the year that we visit the Whos down in Whoville or even wish to get the season right like Linus does with the Peanuts gang. One might say our hearts grow three sizes at the holidays.

The nostalgia for bygone things surfaced in a big way on Friday night at Newton Senior High School with the Jasper County Concert Association’s presentation of Two on Tap. To really simplify the concert for those who were not there, it is a Christmas variety show.

What it brings to my mind are the variety shows I grew up with in the seventies when one could see the pop star du jour singing the old standards. Some of the shows I watched were reruns like the Sonny and Cher show. Every Christmas variety show was an attempt to pay homage to the great performances of Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Dean and Jerry, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland.

This is most definitely a trib-ute to those Golden Age ac-tors. Through the mediums of song and tap dance, Two on Tap sought to honor their heroes and help the Newton audience to reminisce their youth. The audience responded. Most of the audience seemed absolutely thrilled with talent and song selection. I was impressed by

the obvious dedication of the performers and I thought they and the whole show, were really sweet.

Two on Tap are actually three, starring singer/dancers Melissa Giattino and Ron DeStefano and featuring Jeffrey Biering on piano. All three are fantasti-cally talented professionals. The show was well choreographed and well done. They are each high quality performers with extensive pedigrees. Honestly, I love that JCCA gets to bring in acts like this, these are per-formers one may have seen in a Broadway show.

The Jasper County Concert Association will present their next concert on Feb. 23. Tick-ets are always available at Mat-tingly’s Music and Books and at the performance.

My good buddy Mikey al-ways has something up his sleeve. When invited over for cocktails or an intimate gath-ering, he always walks up my apartment steps with an as-sortment of party favors. Last weekend, his plastic Hy-Vee bags carried a corked bottle of 1759 Geniuses Limited Edition Amber Ale and the tongue-in-cheek game of Cards Against Humanity. Mike always knows how to set us up for a night of hilarity — albeit a bit politically incor-rect.

From his sack of tricks, Mikey also pulled a Christmas gift wrapped in non-glossy, cardboard brown and red holiday paper with a little tag which red “To: Mike From: Mike.”

“I didn’t think you had enough nerd gear in your apartment, so I saw this and

knew you had to have it,” Mike said as I opened the package.

Inside I could feel The Force flowing through me as I found a LEGO Darth Vader alarm clock. It could stand or sit and with its claw-like LEGO figu-rine hands, the clock was fully capable of holding a lightsaber.

“And when you bonk his head, that’s snooze,” Mike said.

The clock fit nicely within the realm of classic Mikey gifts from years past. For my birth-day three years ago, as I moved to Jasper County for the first time, Mike gifted me a statu-ette of the Travelocity Gnome. With its pointy red hat and proper manners — hands held behind his back — the gnome stills stands guard in the planter outside my apartment door as he has at my last two residences. Mike is a brilliant network en-gineer — successful but never

one to tout his meteoric rise in the Des Moines tech market in any way other than with pure joy and excitement for his trade. He gives without thought of return. He’s given me a custom beer glass and spotted me an apartment deposit when a beat-er car ate the last of my savings. It’s hard to find a better human being than Mike Williams.

With each passing year, I find my circle of close friends thinning. This isn’t through argument, malice or conscious choice but an organic process. As life grows more complex, I find my correlating circle of friends seems to become more concise yet harder to break.

As we approach our 30s and family dynamics change, I’ve enjoyed incorporating my friends more as family into my holiday celebrations. This week, I’ll get the Christmas treat of listening to a life-long

friend sing in a Broadway style production of “Two from Gali-lee,” at the New Hope Assem-bly of God in Urbandale. Since we first met on the hotch-scotch carpet in Mrs. McCor-mick’s kindergarten classroom, I’ve wanted to see Seth per-form. But when you’re a kid, family obligations tend to take precedent and it’s hard for a 5-year-old to pedal his bike across the city in December.

As I prep for the future, incorporating my girlfriend’s family holiday traditions into my own, I believe it’s impor-tant to keep those non-famil-ial Christmas ties sound and strong. One of the key tenets of Christmas is the perseverance made possible by the bonds of family whether related by blood, spirit or friendship.

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: I am writing this in response to “Un-Grandparent in Ohio” (Aug. 25), whose pregnant teen-age daughter has decided to place her baby for adoption.

My daughter and son-in-law adopted their newborn daughter in an open adoption. Each summer the adop-tion agency sponsors a picnic that is at-tended by birth and adoptive parents, grandparents and other family members -- and, of course, the adopted child. During the rest of the year, our daugh-ter sends the birth mother photos and letters, going through the same agency.

I can only imagine the sadness Un-Grandparent is feeling. I hope her daughter has chosen an adoption agency like this one so she will be able to share in her grandchild’s life. -- GRATEFUL ADOPTIVE GRANDMOTHER

DEAR GRATEFUL: I wel-comed feedback from readers about that letter and, as always, they provided Un-Grandparent with thoughtful advice. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: I am a grand-mother and an attorney. I have done a lot of guardianship work over the years and would like the grandmother to know that in many cases similar to hers, it is the grandmother who adopts the baby. This is often the best solution for everyone -- especially the baby.

Most states favor adoptions by family members. It could be a wonder-ful ending/beginning for all concerned if that could happen in this case. -- GRANDMA CLAIRE

DEAR ABBY: I went through this with my daughter, who was not in a mental or financial position to keep the child. I was in the delivery room for the birth of all my grandchildren, but in or-der to distance myself from this child, I allowed the adoptive mom to go into the delivery instead, because it was im-portant for her to bond with the baby. It

was easier, in a sense, to distance myself from this child because of my daughter’s circumstances.

I think about my grandson all the time, and I get pictures from the adoptive family. When the time is right, he will meet his biological family. My hope is that Un-Grandparent can trust the adoptive parents to be the right ones and that they will do the right thing for the child. -- CHRISTINE ON THE WEST COAST

DEAR ABBY: I was neither willing nor emotionally able to raise my 13-year-old daughter’s child. There was an open adoption, with a family that had five children of their own, but nei-ther my daughter nor I took the oppor-tunity to get to know this child or his new family.

My parents (the baby’s great-grandparents) made the effort to keep in touch and were welcomed with open arms. My parents brought ALL the children Christmas gifts, and my moth-er wrote to them often, visiting when they had a chance.

So, if this is an open adop-tion, there is still the possibility for you to have as much contact as everyone is comfortable with. There is no such thing as too much love! -- KATHRYN IN TEXAS

Man in western Iowa shot other man

MAPLETON — Authorities in western Iowa say a man faces gun charges after an-other man was found with a gunshot wound.

The Monona County Sheriff ’s Office says 22-year-old Joshua Beam was arrested Tuesday night in Mapleton after authorities found a man with a gunshot wound to the head. The wounded man, 22-year-old Eric Franco, was taken to a local health center with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities say Beam and Franco consumed alcohol then be-gan to wrestle. Beam is accused of pulling out a handgun and firing several shots.

Teacher accused of inappropriate touching

TREYNOR — A western Iowa teacher faces additional charges in a sexual exploi-tation case involving several former stu-dents. Pottawattamie County Attorney Dan McGinn says 45-year-old Michael Travis is charged with four counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee. He has pleaded not guilty to two counts. A hear-ing on the additional counts is scheduled for Dec. 31.

3 Grants will help 3 Iowa food pantries

AMES — Three Iowa food pantries are among 75 across the country that will re-ceive $20,000 grants from Walmart to help pay for renovations and new equipment.

The Iowa organizations receiving the grants are the Good Samaritan Food Pan-try in Adel, Food at First in Ames and Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank in Mason City.

The winning pantries were selected by a vote on Walmart’s website over the past two weeks.

Iowa authorities rescue dog from abandoned well

OELWEIN — Authorities in northeast Iowa have rescued a dog that fell into an abandoned well. The Fayette County Sher-iff ’s Office is looking for the owners of the brown dog that was pulled from the 8-foot well Wednesday.

Iowa man gets 10 years in child death case

The Associated Press

DUBUQUE — An Iowa man has been sen-tenced to up to 10 years in prison after taking a plea deal in the 2012 death of his ex-girlfriend’s son.

Nick Reed, 36, plead-ed guilty Tuesday to possession of red phos-phorous with intent to manufacture metham-phetamine and entered an Alford plea to a child neglect charge. An Al-ford plea doesn’t admit guilt but acknowledges that prosecutors likely can prove the charges.

Charges of manu-facturing methamphet-amine and possessing marijuana were dropped

under the plea deal.Prosecutors originally

charged Reed with first-degree murder in the death of 2-year-old Bent-ley Randall, but dropped the charge last year citing a lack of evidence.

Reed told authorities that he poured water on Bentley in an effort to try to revive the child, who wouldn’t wake up from a nap. Bentley suffered severe scalding and Reed said he didn’t realize the water was too hot, ac-cording to court docu-ments. The toddler was admitted to a hospital, where he died two days later.

Assistant Dubuque County Attorney Chris

Corken told the court the decision to present the plea deal wasn’t made lightly.

“Our concern has been from the begin-ning that the defendant be held accountable for what the state can le-gally prove based on the evidence the state has,” Corken said.

She said she knows Bentley’s family doesn’t agree with the deci-sion, but that the state can only act on charges that can be sufficiently proved.

“We cannot create evidence that doesn’t ex-ist. We cannot change evidence that does exist,” she said.

Iowa City creates temporary homeless shelter

The Associated Press

IOWA CITY — The Iowa City Council has approved funding for a temporary homeless shelter in a former gro-cery store to keep people from freezing during the winter.

Council members unanimously voted Tuesday to spend up to $20,000 on the project that will be housed in a former Aldi’s building. The short-term hous-ing solution will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. every day in January and

February, said executive director Crissy Cangan-elli of Shelter House, a homeless organization.

The temporary shel-ter, which won’t offer support services, will be open to people who are turned away from other shelters for reasons such as intoxication.

“This is the right thing to do, period,” Mayor Matt Hayek said. “On the issue of a more permanent solution, if that’s in the works, I am sympathetic to the location issues, and it’s something that bears

discussion. But time is of the essence and the temperature today is an indication of that.”

Last year, the Iowa City police station and part of the City Hall lobby were used to house people during cold nights. Council members said that wasn’t ideal.

“I am very supportive of this proposal. Origi-nally, I was very con-cerned about security and there were similar concerns last winter, but this is not hard to vote for,” said council mem-ber Rick Dobyns.

Effort to draft Warren into ‘16 race lands in Iowa

The Associated Press

DES MOINES — Liberal activists eager to draft Sen. Elizabeth Wa r r e n into a run for p r e s i -dent are bringing their ef-fort to Iowa, the p i v o t a l e a r l y -v o t i n g state where there’s al-ready well-established organizing effort in place — for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

MoveOn.org will hold a meeting Wednes-day evening in Des Moines as part of their new “Run Warren Run” campaign. The group is trying to persuade War-ren to seek the Demo-cratic nomination in 2016, even though the Massachusetts senator has repeatedly said she is not running.

“The response that we’re hearing from Io-wans in the first few

days of this effort, it’s clear people are hungry for Elizabeth Warren to get in the race,” said Victoria Kaplan, an or-ganizer for MoveOn.

Kaplan said Wednes-day’s event is their first organizing meeting, and there will be a similar event in New Hamp-shire in January. The campaign is seeking staffers in both states and trying to build vol-unteer and donor sup-port. Another grassroots group, Ready for War-ren, has made a number of visits to Iowa since the summer, trying to rally support for the senator.

Yet such work has been underway on Clin-ton’s behalf for much longer, even though the former first lady, sena-tor and U.S. secretary of State has not yet defini-tively said she will run for the White House.

The group Ready for Hillary, which has no formal ties to Clinton, held its first Iowa meet-ing in January. Midwest regional organizing di-

rector Derek Eadon, one of the group’s two Iowa-based staffers, said the group has appeared at party functions across the state, held house parties and recruited volunteers for months.

Eadon declined to comment on the MoveOn effort, but said he is confident Clinton has the infrastructure in place to succeed in Iowa, where she placed third in the 2008 caucuses.

“Having staff on the ground, having local or-ganizers that are trained ... that’s going to be an advantage, because oth-erwise she’d be starting from scratch,” Eadon said.

Warren is a favorite of many liberal Demo-crats, and enthusiastic crowds greeted War-ren in Iowa in October when she tried to pump up Democrats for Bruce Braley’s lagging Sen-ate campaign in Des Moines and Iowa City with vigorous speeches that focused on income inequality and the need for economic reforms.

The Tigerhawks were plagued by 20 turnovers.

“Our kids are giving good effort,” Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts said. “They are trying very hard and sometimes maybe too hard that it is affecting our execu-tion. We have to start reducing our turnovers and start finishing shots around the basket.”

It was the first dou-ble-double of the sea-son for Lourens, who grabbed seven offensive rebounds and had two

CMB inducts seven into Hall of Fame

BAXTER — The latest athletic hall of fame induct-ees at Collins-Maxwell/Baxter range from a female athlete who once scored 51 points in a basketball game to a pair of all-state football standouts who played in the same back-field.

It also includes a track coach of 19 years, a pair of outstand-ing track and field athletes and a standout baseball player who later became an All-American at Grand View University.

Their accomplishments go on and on. But one thing they all will now have in common is being a part of a tradition that’s in its third year at CMB.

“I got a letter in the mail and it was fairly surprising be-cause I graduated 58 years ago and I didn’t even know that CMB had a hall of fame,” said Marilyn Johnston-Miller, one of the seven who were induct-ed on Dec. 13. “It was pretty exciting to get the news.”

CMB recognized the for-mer standout athletes during halftime of the Raider boys basketball game against Grand View Christian last Saturday. An induction ceremony in the East Gym followed the game-later that night.

Joining Johnston-Miller as 2014 CMB Hall of Fame in-ductees were Joe Neville, Di-ana Atwood Oswalt, Mindy Ketchum Waseskuk, Brett Fuller, Joe Langenberg and Danny Samson.

Neville coached the CMB girls’ track team for 19 years and is still currently teach-ing at Collins-Maxwell High School.

The Raiders won four con-ference championships and a district title under Neville’s direction. CMB also won 65 meets and qualified 72 events in the state track meet.

“You put in a lot of time and have a lot of memories,” Nev-ille said. “A lot of the kids that I coached in track and field are actually teaching where I teach at now. It’s a neat honor.”

Neville coached Ketchum Waseskuk in track and field and was Fuller’s teacher and junior high basketball coach.

Being part of the Hall of Fame with student-athletes he was connected to makes the honor even more special.

“It’s a pretty big deal. It was cool to be able to catch up with the ones that are back in town,” said Neville, who start-ed teaching at C-M back in the early 1980s.

Ketchum Waseskuk partici-pated in volleyball, basketball, softball and track and field for four years. But it was on the oval where the former Raider made her biggest mark.

Her best accomplishment may have been being part of the school’s two state cham-pionships in the 4x200 relay during her junior and senior seasons.

“It’s special to me because my parents were so support-ive of me. I am honored to be a part of this,” said Ket-chum Waseskuk, who gradu-ated from Collins-Maxwell and currently works for a wine distributor in Cedar Falls. “I think it’s something to be able to look back on, and it gave me

the chance to reflect on what I did back then.”

Atwood Oswalt was part of the group that brought home state indoor and outdoor track and field championships for the Collins Clippers back in 1972.

Oswalt was an individual state champion in the hurdles but also played guard on the basketball team and led the Clippers in rebounding and steals during her final two high school seasons.

“It was fun to go back and re-live the times when I was in high school,” said Oswalt, who currently lives between Col-lins and Colo. “I never really thought about being in some-

thing like this. We were state champions back in the day so we did well I guess.”

Fuller was two years be-hind Ketchum Waseskuk in high school. He was a mul-tiple sport athlete who earned all-state recognition in both football and baseball. The for-mer Collins-Maxwell stand-out took his baseball talents to Grand View University, where he earned All-American hon-ors in 2004.

“At first I thought, when you get to a Hall of Fame, it must mean that I am old,” said Fuller, who is married with two children and a fifth grade teacher at Bondurant-Farrar. “But I was honored to

get the news and it makes you really appreciate the coaches and the relationships that you built. We take it for granted at a young age but I realize now that it was a special time.”

The honors meant a lot to Langenberg and Samson, who are the youngest athletes in the group. They both played on the same CMB teams for three years.

Langenberg graduated from Baxter High School in 2008, and still holds the school’s ca-reer record for rushing yards, rushing TDs and scoring for the CMB football team.

He also participated in the state wrestling tournament and advanced to state in the long jump during his track and field career.

“It’s an honor be inducted with him. We both share the same similarities,” said Lan-genberg, who moved to Den-ver, Colo., with his girlfriend a few months ago. “I have been friends with Danny since the third grade. It’s sweet that we get to share this with each other.”

Langenberg went on to play football at Central College and then gave the sport an-other shot at Coe College af-ter suffering from a back injury during his only season for the Dutch.

Samson currently works on his father’s farm and resides in Ankeny with his girlfriend, Amanda Aukes, who gradu-ated from CMB with Samson in 2009.

The former Raider QB was a first-team all-state football selection after throwing for more than 1,000 yards and rushing for more than 1,000 yards during his senior season.

Samson also won the Class 2A state shot put title. He started his collegiate football career at Truman State before winding up as an All-Amer-ican defensive linemen at

DES MOINES (AP) — The annual basketball double-header featuring Iowa’s four Division I teams has been ex-tended through 2017.

The athletic directors at Iowa, Iowa State, Northern Iowa and Drake announced

Wednesday that the Big Four Classic will be held in Iowa’s capital of Des Moines for two more years.

The Big Four Classic re-placed the home-and-home series that Iowa and Iowa State had with their Missouri

Valley Conference counter-parts in 2012.

This year’s doubleheader, which will feature No. 13 Iowa State against Drake and Northern Iowa against the Hawkeyes, is set for Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena.

This year’s event is a sellout, with a crowd of just more than 15,000 expected.

The Cyclones and Bulldogs will play first at 4 p.m., while the Hawkeyes and Panthers are expected to tip off their game around 6 p.m.

Big Four Classic extended through 2017

Colfax-Mingo grabbed 15 offen-sive rebounds but made just 7-of-18 from the free throw line. Saydel was 13-of-23 from the charity stripe.

“We did a nice job with offensive rebounding,” Borts said. “But we are struggling to finish the putbacks or connect at the line when fouled.”

Casey Roberts had 11 points to lead the Eagles, who have won two straight since starting the season 0-4. Saydel is now 1-4 in Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play.

Central College.“It was exciting. It’s a

big honor. It was nice to get that call,” said Samson about the Hall of Fame. “The fact that Joe got in with me makes it more exciting. We played to-gether and it’s pretty cool to know that a lot of peo-ple were watching us and thought highly of what we did together.”

J o h n s t o n - M i l l e r doesn’t consider herself to be a CMB star athlete, but she scored 46 points in a basketball game dur-ing her junior season and bettered that with 51 her senior year. She also hit 22 straight free throws in

a single game once.“You look at all the

criteria. The higher you finish in a particular sport the better chance you have to stay near the top of the list,” Collins-Maxwell Athletic Direc-tor Henry Haupert said. “It ’s pretty cut and dry when you break it all down.”

Haupert is a part of the eight-member panel who votes in the Hall of Fame members.

That group also in-cludes Baxter Athletic Di-rector Lori Fricke, Baxter Principal and CMB foot-ball coach Rob Luther, as-sistant football coach Jason Aker, CMB track and cross country coach Jerry Mein-erts as well as Jean Birch-mier, Marcus Fricke, Stan

Allspach and Dana Berry.“We got together two

or three times and went through some of the nomi-nation sheets together,” Meinerts said. “There are a lot of people that deserve recognition. I just went through the list and select-ed the ones that I thought had the best qualifica-tions.”

The CMB Hall of Fame currently sits at 30 members. Allspach was voted into the first class in 2012, which also included current CMB coaches Dennis Hennick and Jodi Beavers Girard and former Iowa football player Clint Huntrods.

Astrograph

As civilized and well man-nered as you may be, the fact remains that if you are reading this, you’re prob-ably that soft, warm-blood-ed, highly adaptable and sharply instinctive animal called “human.” The wild Sagittarius sun and the in-tense Scorpio moon machi-nate with unexpectedly emotional results. Chalk it up to human nature.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 18). Are you ready to be adored? Your January makeover puts stars in someone’s eyes. If friends take paths you don’t understand, your indepen-dence will be empowering. In February, buy and sell what’s needed to make a better living. May brings family events and im-portant new connections. Cancer and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 5, 44, 16 and 32.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Make a resolution for yourself and stick to it. This will be good practice for New Year’s. Even if you stick to it for only a day, you’ll be

building your “stick to it” muscles.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The older folks will do the “these kids to-day” talk, and the younger ones will feel annoyed, but not as annoyed as a middle group who realize that the minute they say “these kids today,” they are not among them.

AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb. 18). It’s been said that just because you own a hammer doesn’t mean you can build a house. Howev-er, you’re a lot closer to be-ing able to build one than the person who doesn’t own a hammer. Have faith and get more tools.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people don’t like to feel controlled, and the strong-willed creative types absolutely hate it. Anyone trying to impose a view or a timeline on you will automatically go on your “watch list.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When plans snag, you might wonder whether your intuition is off. It’s

not. Believe it or not, the snag is for the best. Eventually, all will work out in an unexpected and fortuitous way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t need to measure up to anyone else’s standards, only your own. It will be good luck to listen to the person who is, for some reason, often ignored.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If there’s a better way to make money, you’re likely to notice it today. That person performing a task you find fascinat-ing is doing the thing that you could be doing and being paid well for it, too! Investigate.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those ideas about wrong and right may look good on paper, but they play out in such nuanced and complicated ways that in the end the moral stance doesn’t settle so neatly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Start the conversation. Whether or not things take off, you’ll be glad you took

the initiative, if only for the education of it. Saying interesting things isn’t necessary. The point is just to get the other person talk-ing. It’s about rapport.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In recent days, your heart song has been a hum-mable, pleasant melody. Today it has operatic force. The affection you feel is a gift, whether or not you choose to do anything about it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People will communicate to you messages that you already knew but maybe weren’t supposed to. Regardless of how good of an actor you are, your kind-ness will not allow you to deflate anyone’s ego.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re inclined to share freely all that you’ve learned, but first consider where your parents are coming from. Some people aren’t ready for your knowledge, and it will be wasted on them.
