Heikkila, Hembry record Christmas

album

By Kate MalottNewton Daily News

After spending the year developing their music, friends Dani Heikkila and Mark Hembry have joined forces to record and pro-duce a Christmas album for their family, friends and fans throughout the community.

Heikkila, a Newton High School senior, was a recent contestant on American Idol where she made it to Holly-wood and created a fan base back home. Heik-kila has a talent and pas-sion for music and per-formance.

Hembry, a Newton resident and musician, had been working in a band with Heikkila since her return from American Idol. He wanted to make an al-bum and asked her to be the lead vocalist on a new project.

“Making this album was a lot of work and it was definitely a learn-ing experience for me, as I’d never done anything like this before,” Christ-mas is for Kids producer Mark Hembry said. “I’m glad Dani was able to do this with me because not only is she a talented vo-calist, but I knew she’d gained quite a local fol-lowing.”

Not only did the al-bum give the two an opportunity to bring joy

Family entertainment center could open

in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Boomerangs, a family enter-tainment center that potentially would house batting cages, party services and other indoor recre-ational activities, is eyeing the former Marsh building in New-ton.

I Believe Inc. based out of Newton and the corporation working to bring Bomerangs to the city submitted an application to Newton’s Planning and Zon-ing Commission seeking indoor family entertainment as a per-mitted use within the light indus-trial district recently. On Tuesday P&Z recommended approval by the Newton City Council.

“I am very excited about the Zoning Ordinance change that was recently passed as it will open

up more buildings to choose from for this exciting endeavor,” Dana Simbro, president of I Believe, Inc. said.

To permit such a business on the property, 1503 N. 13th Ave. E., would require a change in zoning code, according to Erin Chambers, director of Planning and Zoning for the city.

If the zoning code is changed, it would apply to all buildings in the light industrial district through out the city. In New-ton, the light industrial district has several areas throughout the community both on the outskirts of town and pockets in residen-tial areas.

“In modern zoning you would kind of have a concentration of industrials and it would serve as a buffer from heavy industrial down to some lower intensity, but because of how Newton de-veloped over time you have these pockets of historical industrial areas that still remain,” Cham-bers said.

REG Newton received significant funds from farm bill

By Jamee A. PiersonNewton Daily News

Biofuel producer Re-newable Energy Group, Inc. received nearly $600,000 from the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s Advanced Biofuel Payment Program Con-gressman Dave Loebsack announced Tuesday. The funds were established in the 2008 farm bill to be used to support the pro-duction of advanced bio-fuels form sources other than corn kernel starch.

“The bioenergy pro-gram has been effective and important for build-ing our industry,” said Daniel J. Oh, President and Chief Executive Officer of REG. “We very much appreciate Congressman Loeb-sack, Senator Grassley and Senator Harkin for their continuing support

Newton residents

charged with attempted

murderBy Jamee A. Pierson

Newton Daily News

Two Newton residents were charged with attempted murder after a victim was found with stab wounds Wednesday.

Nigel W. Graves, 33, and Lisa L. McCo-nnell, 32, were charged with the attempted murder and willful injury of Scott Auten after authori-ties were called to 126 E. Fifth St. S. at 7:04 p.m. On arrival, officers found Auten with multiple stab wounds. He was transported to Skiff Medical Center for his injuries where he was treated and later released.

Graves and McConnell were located not long after the incident — one suspect had a knife on them. One of the suspects admit-ted they were both at the victim’s residence and an altercation oc-curred resulting in injuries to the Auten.

Graves and McConnell were both taken to the Jasper County Jail. Attempted Murder is a Class B Felony punishable by $25,000 and up to 25 years in prison. Willful Injury is a Class C Felony punishable by at least $1,000 but not more than $10,000 and up to 10 years in prison.

Healthy diets rich in vegeta-bles may reduce the risk of can-cer and other chronic diseases. Give yourself the gift of good health this holi-day season. Eat your vegetables!

Here’s five ways to sneak vegetables into this hectic time of the year.

1. Use veg-etables for snack dippers instead of crackers or chips. Thinly slice carrots — the old fashioned kind you peel, not baby carrots — and zucchini on a bias, and you will end up with large flat pieces per-fect for dipping into your favor-ite spread. Or present your dip with a platter of red, green, and/or yellow pepper strips instead of chips. In addition to eating more vegetables, you’ll shave off con-siderable calories; and also avoid pre-dinner carbohydrates if you are following a diabetic meal plan.

2. Give yourself the gift of time and stock your freezer with

frozen vegetables that are pack-aged in steamable bags. Time won’t be an issue as they go from freezer, to microwave, to table in about five minutes.

3. Trade the hot apple cider or hot cocoa for a warmed mug of V-8 juice. Add a dash of tabasco for a real warm me up.

4. When faced with a drive through decision, opt for a side salad with Italian dressing in-stead of french fries.

5. Add more vegetables to meals you’re already cooking. Shredded carrots and fresh spin-ach can be incorporated into most soups and casseroles.

Add 1 cup of coarsely chopped spinach or ½ cup of shredded carrots to the dish with the rest of the ingredients. Then bake or simmer as usual.

This season make health a priority!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together mozzarella cheese, yogurt, may-onnaise dressing, 2 Tbsp. of the Parmesan cheese, the flour, and the Dijon mustard.

Stir in the spinach, roasted red peppers, and 2 Tbsp. of the green onions.

Spread the cheese vegetable mixture evenly into a 1-quart ovenproof shallow dish or 9-inch pie plate.

Sprinkle with the remaining grated Parmesan cheese. Bake the dip, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges or bubbly and the mixture is heated through.

Sprinkle with the remaining 2 Tbsp green onions. Serve with red and/or yellow sweet pepper strips.

5 holiday tips for a healthier, happier you

Don’t let holiday temptations keep you from meeting your health and wellness goals.

Stay on track by following these simple, holiday tips recommended by our Hy-Vee dietitians:

Eat Fruits & Veggies FirstYou will eat more of the foods

you choose and eat first. Choose low-calorie foods first,

such as fruit slices, raw or steamed vegetables and green leafy salads, to save calories.

Less Is More

Eat smaller portions by using a salad plate or smaller bowl. Serve bite-size treats or appetizers.

Save your extra calories for a special holiday treat you only eat once per year, such as grandma’s homemade fudge.

Pass the Protein, PleaseInclude lean-protein foods in snacks and

meals to help balance carbohydrate-rich foods, avoid blood sugar spikes and help you feel full longer.

Opt for lean meat, poultry, seafood, low-fat cheese and nuts.

Stay ActiveBurn off calories from your meal by taking a

brisk walk with friends and family or dancing at the holiday party.

Get Your ZZZsSeven to eight hours of sleep per night may

aid in eating fewer calories and choosing health-ier foods during the day.

The facility converts natural fats, oils and greases into advanced biofuels and converts diverse feed-stocks into renewable chemicals. REG has 10 active biorefineries across the country.

“Iowa is a leader in creating homegrown, clean en-ergy sources like advanced biofuels and this invest-ment will help strengthen that tradition,” Loebsack said. “Small businesses are the back bone of Iowa’s economy. I am proud that this investment in Iowa businesses will help create jobs and grow the econ-omy.”

Two other Iowa biofuel producers received funds from the farm bill as well. Clinton County Bio En-ergy, LLC in Clinton received more than $16,000 and Iowa Renewable Energy, LLC in Washington received more than $50,000.

When brought before the council, the ordinance would be subject to a three reading rule, meaning it must go be-fore the council three times before it can be formally ap-proved. The council can, however, wave either the second or third readings if they choose to fast track the change.

The commission also spent a significant amount of its Tuesday meeting discussing an amendment to restrict residential units within storefronts of buildings around the downtown square. Although generally in favor of the amendment, the commission did not make a motion to recommend approval.

“They want to make sure property owners in the area that would be impacted get a lot of notice and a lot of opportunity to participate in that discussion,” Chambers said.

She said a lot of research was done prior to the meeting about how other cities dealt with the issue. Ordinances from Pella, Oskaloosa and Burlington were reviewed to gain understanding of how other cities enacted the ordi-nance.

“It is something we (Newton Main Street) support, primarily to maintain the commercial character of the downtown,” said Andrew Bassman, Newton Main Street Director. “It is disruptive and not very inviting when you see curtains over a store front window. The store front win-dows are typically meant to invite people into the building, give you a glimpse inside and attract you inside. We would love to see second floor housing is the downtown.”

The commission plans to continue the discussion at its meeting later this month.

and the holiday spirit to listeners of the album, but a bigger opportu-nity to help bring joy and the holiday spirit to a group of kids in need.

Hembry thought a holiday album was a great way to raise mon-ey for a special group of children at Angel Tree.

Angel Tree is a branch of Prison Fel-lowship Ministries which focuses on the innocent lives of chil-dren who are affected by their parents crime-sand are often left with feelings of abandon-ment and shame. Angel

Tree helps mentor these children and give them gifts for Christmas to make their holiday a better one.

“All the profits of this album will go to kids who parents are incarcerated and help bring them presents this Christmas,” Heik-kila said.

The album features a selection of 11 Christ-mas classics including Santa Claus is Com-ing to Town, Silent Night, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jingle Bells, Mary, Did You Know, Joy to the World, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christ-mas, Winter Wonder-land, O’ Holy Night, O’

Come, All Ye Faithful, and How Great Thou Art.

Heikkila found Mary Did You Know to be her favorite song on the album, she said, because it is a very meaningful song and deserves a lot of emphasis and emo-tion.

Hembry found O’ Holy Night to be a fa-vorite in the produc-tion process, he said, because it’s his favorite Christmas song and be-cause of the outstand-ing vocals.

“Dani really nailed it, of course, she did a great job on the rest of them as well,” Hembry said.

Local guitarist and

vocalist Nick Knudsen was also featured on Winter Wonderland.

“It was a hard project to keep up on but in the end it was really worth it. I’m just really happy Mark asked me to join him on this,” Heikkila said.

Newton Daily News & Jasper County Advertiser

Shortly before Mi-chael Brown’s fateful encounter with Fergu-son cop Darren Wilson, I was appoint-ed as a teaching assistant in a class on race and eth-nicity.

I ’ m white. I didn’t go to grad s c h o o l to study race — I stud-ied agriculture. When it comes to race, I’m clue-less.

I wish I could say I was clueless — that I’ve since obtained a whirl-wind education on race in the United States. But that’s not true. If anything, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation of my blind spots.

I probably boast a more diverse group of friends than many of the folks I grew up with. But like the majority of white people, my social networks are still almost entirely white.

I could tell you the names of every single black kid in my grade in my childhood elemen-tary school because there weren’t that many. At the time, I thought they were having the same social and educational experience I was.

I was wrong.I recently reconnected

with an African-Ameri-can guy from my fourth grade class. Our teacher, he told me, was racist. “What?” I responded.

I mean, I was there. But I remember noth-ing. It was something I didn’t even think about as a kid.

What I do know is this: Whenever I had a run-in with a teacher — or anyone else for that matter — I never had to wonder if they treated me that way because I was white. Not so for my black classmates.

I’ve never had ac-quaintances come up and touch my hair as if they’re petting a dog. I’ve never had some-one say something like, “You’re so cool, I don’t even consider you white!” or “You’re pret-ty, for a white girl.”

People of color hear statements like these all the time.

When I screw up, I don’t have to worry that I’m representing all white people and ruin-ing things for all of us. When I get pulled over by a cop, I never wonder if it’s because I’m white.

And, what’s more, I never even have to think about this stuff. I can even claim I’m “colorblind” because we live in a “post-racial” America.

As an adult, I’m fre-quently shocked by how different my black friends’ experience of America is from mine. One friend told me when she dresses in the morning, she con-sciously attempts to look “non-threatening” to white people.

Other friends worry about the safety of their teenage sons.

What do you do when your 13-year-old is six feet tall, and you see the police looking at him as if he might be up to something? How do you explain to your rambunctious, innocent nine-year-old he can’t wear the hoods on his hoodies, just in case?

It’s hard to buy into the “post-racial” lie when you fear that a not-so-colorblind cop might shoot your kid.

Being white doesn’t give me a free pass in life. As a white person with a medical disabil-ity that impacts every day of my life, I struggle plenty. But my experi-ence — any white per-son’s experience — of America doesn’t match what people of color ex-perience.

By Thomas L. Knapp

Police body cameras are all the rage lately. Al Sharpton wants them used to monitor the activities of cops. Ann Coul-ter wants them used to “shut down” Al Sharpton. The White House wants them because, well, they’re a way to look both “tough on police violence” and “tough on crime” by spending $263 million on new law en-forcement technology.

When Al Sharpton, Ann Coulter and the president of the United States agree on any-thing, my immediate, visceral reaction is extreme skepticism. In this case, the known facts support that skepticism.

It’s exceedingly unlikely that widespread use of police body cameras would reduce the inci-dence or severity of unjustified police violence. We’ve already seen the results of numerous technology “solutions” to that problem.

The introduction of mace and tasers to police weapons inventories encouraged a hair-trigger attitude toward encoun-ters with “suspects” (“suspect” being law-enforcement-ese for “anyone who isn’t a cop”). Their supposed non-lethality made it safer to substitute violent action for peaceful talk.

The introduction of military weaponry and vehicles to polic-

ing hasn’t produced de-escala-tion either. Quite the opposite, in fact — now we get to watch small-town police departments stage frequent re-enactments of the Nazi occupation of Paris in towns across America.

And police car “dash cams?” That’s obviously the most direct comparison. But the dash cam always seems to malfunction, or the police department mysteri-ously loses its output, when a credible claim of abusive police behavior arises.

On the other hand, it’s abso-lutely certain that widespread use of police body cameras would increase the scope and efficacy of an increasingly au-thoritarian surveillance state.

The White House proposal calls for an initial rollout of 50,000 cameras. Does anyone doubt that the output of those cameras would be kept, copied, cross-referenced and analyzed against law enforcement data-bases (including but not limited to facial recognition databases) on a continuing basis?

Assuming a camera attaches to a particular officer with an eight hour shift (rather than being passed around at shift changes for 24-hour use), that’s 400,000 hours per day of ran-dom warrantless searches to be continuously mined for prob-able cause to investigate and arrest people. Even George Or-

well didn’t go so far as to have 1984’s Thought Police carry portable cameras everywhere they went!

Video technology is certainly part of the solution to police vi-olence, but that solution should remain in the hands of regular people, not the state. More and more of us every day come into possession of the ability to re-cord video on the spot, while instantly porting it to Internet storage so that it can’t be de-stroyed at the scene or tampered with after the fact. Cops need to be on cameras they don’t con-trol.

But part of the solution is still just part of the solution. Even when cameras catch vio-lent, abusive, criminal cops in action — as, for example, when business security cameras filmed Fullerton, California police of-ficers Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli beating homeless man Kelly Thomas to death in 2011 — it’s incredibly hard to get prosecutions and even harder to get convictions.

Ubiquitous video monitoring of state actors by regular people is a start. But the only real way to guarantee and end to police violence is to bring an end to state “law enforcement” — in fact, to the state itself.

The Ray Conniff Singers tells us, or sings to us, that “happi-ness is different things to differ-ent people. On the desert, it’s a drink, drink, drink. To the show girl, it’s a mink, mink, mink. To the banker, lot’s of dough. To a racer, it’s a GTO.”

Now try to get that out of your head the rest of the day!

I was listening to NPR, my favorite station to drive to. And, yes, I contribute. The topic was “happiness,” specifically, what it takes to be happy. Of course, there was a guest panel of “experts” on the subject, these highly educated people, profes-sors of social and behavioral sci-ences, who had written books on the subject.

This panel had all kinds of suggestions like, write down your goals, associate with posi-tive people, get a good night’s sleep, exercise, eat a balanced diet and don’t sweat the small stuff. There was a big discus-sion about the role that genet-ics played, versus environmental factors. Terms like “thirst for living,” “psychological well-be-ing” and “baseline mood” were thrown around like candy at a parade. And, of course, money

was a hot topic. Does money buy happiness, or does it just create more opportunities?

I had this vision of some poor slob somewhere, listening to this diatribe, writing down all these tips, and trying to figure out how to get out of the morass he was in. I also had a vision of these expert advice givers play-ing the goodie-two shoes on the air, then leaving and doing something weird, like shop lift-ing, or stiffing a clerk.

Then it happened. It was in-evitable, you could feel it com-ing. These “experts” couldn’t agree on the precise formula for what it takes to find hap-piness, and got into an ar-gument, almost resorting to name-calling. The host began taking outside callers real fast. I couldn’t contain myself, and dialed the number. Through the wonders of Bluetooth, although it sounded like I was in a tunnel, I was able to talk to these jok-ers, hands free. I gave my two-cents worth about the search for happiness. And that is: “Do not search for happiness. Happiness is the by product of right living.”

Well, I was just about laughed off the air. For the first time

during the discussion, these “experts” agreed: although my belief was popular, it was overly simplistic, and of not much val-ue. Click. I wasn’t even allowed to give my thesis number two, and that is, whenever I catch myself worrying about some-thing, I just tell myself, “It’ll all work out.” It always has, it al-ways will. About 10 years ago, I started telling myself “It’ll all work out,” and experienced in-stant relief in times of worry. I can just sit back, let events work themselves out as they will, and hours of worthless (harmful) worry is eliminated. But I’m sure the panel would have ridi-culed this thesis also.

My feelings were hurt. I thought about the snub for days, and will stick to my thesis. You don’t need all these high-pow-ered formulas for finding happi-ness. Happiness is all around us. We’re swimming in it. But like trying to scale the ice mountain, you cannot search for it, hap-piness is a byproduct of right living. Live right, to the best of your abilities, and one day you wake up and realize, “Hey, I’m happy. And you know what? I’ve been happy for a long

time.”This is such an important

concept that my daily medita-tion book repeats it four times during the course of a year. “We cannot find true happiness by looking for it. Seeking plea-sure does not bring happiness ... Happiness is a by-product of living the right kind of a life...in all respects the way you be-lieve God wants you to live.”

Speaking of God, there’s something called a “God Bag.” I heard about it years ago. I wrote down on slips of paper all of my desires, and put them into a brown paper sack, and wrote “God Bag” on the sack. I tucked the God Bag away and forgot about it. Years lat-er, I came across the God Bag and opened it. My hands were trembling. I had forgotten what I had written. There it was in front of me. Everything I had written down had come true. And I hadn’t even realized it.

I’ll bet the panel of “experts” would have a heyday with this one!

Deer hunters waiting to purchase licenses

Hunters plan-ning to be in the timber for Satur-day’s opening day of the first shotgun deer season should consider buying their license soon to avoid waiting in line at the license sales counter.

Fewer than half of the expected 70,000 hunters have purchased their deer license as of Wednesday morning.

A weekend weather forecast

with temperatures favorable for hunt-ing could lead to additional hunt-ers choosing to go during the first shotgun season rather than sec-ond.

“Good weath-er usually means more people will be hunting and staying in the field longer which can lead to high-er success rates,” said Willie Suchy, wildlife research supervisor for the Iowa Department of Natural Re-

sources.Successful hunt-

ers are reminded to report their deer harvest by mid-night the day after the deer is recov-ered.

For hunters with Internet access, the online harvest re-porting is the easi-est way to register the deer.

Hunters can re-port their deer on-line at www.iow-adnr.gov, by calling the toll free report-ing number 1-800-771-4692, or at any license vendor.

DEAR ABBY: You mentioned in a recent column that few people write to follow up on what happened since their original letter was published. You printed mine April 1, 2001.

I am “Hurting in Houston,” the son who, with his partner, was suddenly no longer welcome in his parents’ home after they moved to a retirement com-munity, because they were afraid their neighbors would shun them if they discovered they had a gay son. You advised that I should live my own life and, maybe, someday they would come around — and that is what I did.

After a number of years, I received a call from a sibling informing me that my father was ill with only a short time left, and I should fly to their city to see him. I asked if I was wanted, and he said, “It doesn’t matter, just come!” So I swallowed my pride, flew there and made my way to the hospice house.

Although my mother received me well, Dad did not, and we never had a good moment before he died a few days later. I told my mother I was stay-ing for the funeral whether she liked it or not and had my partner fly in.

After the service there was a gath-ering at my mother’s house with all their friends. I introduced my partner to them and everyone was as kind as could be. Many mentioned their own gay siblings or relatives.

When the event was over, my moth-er said, “Wow, this has all been pretty silly, hasn’t it?” It was such a colossal understatement that I could not find words to respond.

Ten years have passed; my mother is now in hospice care with only a short time left. We have built a great rela-tionship, and she loves my partner of more than 20 years very much. We are glad to be able to be there for her.

Much has changed in the world over these years and the acceptance of gays has been remarkable, but for me, hav-ing these last years with my mother’s love will be a comfort I can hold onto for the rest of my life.

I have no great moral here, I just

wanted to let you know what has hap-pened. Thank you, Abby. — NO LONGER “HURTING IN HOUS-TON”

DEAR NO LONGER HURT-ING: And thank YOU for letting me and my readers know your story has a happy ending. I couldn’t be more pleased to know you are doing well.

In case you didn’t see it, there was a follow-up column regarding your let-ter that was published May 24, 2001, in which a family in California offered to adopt you and your partner! PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Les-bians and Gays) was mentioned in that follow-up and is still an excellent resource for building bridges of under-standing in families. Find it at pflag.org.

DEAR ABBY: I am the caregiver for my husband, who is in a wheelchair and has to be helped when using the bathroom. When we are out in public and he needs a bathroom, should I use the handicapped stall in the men’s or take him into the women’s? Unisex re-strooms — one big room that can be locked — are wonderful. — CARE-GIVER IN VIRGINIA

DEAR CAREGIVER: I agree, but not all buildings and businesses provide unisex restrooms. If none is available, then the rule of thumb is the disabled person should use the restroom of his/her gender — in your case, the men’s room.

Writer’s sad story has happy ending almost 14 years later

Branstad brushes off Cher comments on hogs

DES MOINES — Iowa Gov. Terry Brans-tad is brushing off entertainer Cher’s criticism about hog crates. Cher posted a message on Twitter Tuesday asking why Iowa farmers “tor-ture pigs” in narrow gestation crates, and call-ing New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie a “bully” for his stance on the issue. Christie recently vetoed legislation outlawing gestation crates in New Jersey. Branstad has dismissed that char-acterization. On Wednesday he responded to Cher, saying, “They know a lot about pig pro-duction out there in Hollywood.”

Police: Man disrupts classes, hurts officers at UI

IOWA CITY — An Iowa City man has been accused of disrupting classes at the University of Iowa and assault-ing responding officers. Dequan Edward Miles, 20, was arrested Tuesday. He faces multiple charges, including two counts of assault on a peace officer and interfer-ence with official acts. Police say Miles harassed people and disrupted classes at several campus buildings Tuesday.

3 Former Iowa hospital to convert into apartments

OTTUMWA — Developers plan to transform the old St. Joseph’s Hospital in Ottumwa into apartments.

The 90-year-old building, which has been closed for two years, was sold by Ottumwa Regional Health Center and its parent com-pany to Des Moines-based developer Black-bird Investments. Up to 70 apartments could go into the more than 100,000-square-foot building. The developer says amenities may include a swimming pool, playground and commercial space.

Woman reports sandwich assault by husband

DES MOINES — A Des Moines woman has told police that her husband used a sand-wich to assault her. Marvin Hill II, 21, was arrested Tuesday. Polk County Jail records say Hill remained in custody on Wednesday on a charge of domestic abuse assault. Online court records don’t list an attorney for him. Initially Hill told officers that his wife had as-saulted him. He said she awakened him about 1 p.m., holding a McDonald’s McChicken sandwich. He later acknowledged that he be-came upset and threw the sandwich.

Sioux City school district voters reject new levy

SIOUX CITY — Officials say plans for one or more new elementary schools and im-provements at three high schools likely will have to be shelved, now that Sioux City school district voters have rejected a new property tax levy. At Tuesday’s special election, voters rejected the levy by a ratio of nearly 2-to-1. The turnout was less than 9 percent. School officials say the new levy was needed because a 1-cent sales tax approved in 1998.

Iowa regents approve ‘historic’ 3rd tuition freezeBy Ryan J. Foley

The Associated Press

IOWA CITY — Thousands of students at Iowa’s three public universities could gradu-ate without seeing their tuition increase once, which Gov. Terry Brans-tad said would be a his-toric achievement.

The Iowa Board of Regents voted Wednes-day to freeze tuition for resident undergraduate students for the third straight year — provided that lawmakers approve a funding increase for the universities next spring. The freeze would affect roughly 40,000 students.

If it happens, in-state students who graduate in

May 2016 will have paid the same annual base tuition all four years: $6,678 at the Univer-sity of Iowa and $6,648 at Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa. Manda-tory fees have risen dur-ing that time.

Branstad appointees on the board have made affordability a top pri-ority, saying the state’s above-average debt for college graduates is un-acceptable. The board has conducted a wide-ranging review to cut costs and improve effi-ciency on the campuses, and some of the project-ed savings are expected to be used to offset the freeze’s $4.5 million cost.

Regent Larry McK-ibben, a Marshalltown lawyer, said a third freeze would be unprecedented in Iowa history and help students and families who are struggling to afford higher educa-tion. He pushed for the freeze after rejecting a 1.75 percent increase proposed in October, which would have cost students an additional $116 next year.

“To some people 1.75 percent is a lot of mon-ey,” McKibben said. “To our families, our cus-tomers and students in the state of Iowa, we owe them better.”

Regent Bob Downer, an Iowa City lawyer, said he was concerned that

the freeze would lead to larger tuition hikes down the road. He also questioned the plan to use anticipated cost sav-ings to pay for it, saying they may not be realized and had been promised to the universities for other priorities. But he voted for the freeze, say-ing it can be sustained one more year.

Board President Bruce Rastetter dis-missed Downer’s con-cerns, saying he couldn’t justify raising tuition when millions in savings were in the works.

“We ought to deal with the reality of today that allows us to freeze tuition,” he said.

The board raised tu-ition by 1.75 percent for nonresidents and gradu-ate and professional stu-dents. Regents had con-sidered whether to also freeze tuition for those students — who num-ber about 38,000 — but opted against it. Univer-sity presidents said their campuses needed the additional $10 million in revenue those increases will generate.

Branstad said he would wait to see new state revenue projections next week before prom-ising to support the 1.75 percent funding increase the regents have sought to allow for the freeze. But he said he’d “love to

see this happen.”“I think that would be

historic,” he said. “We’ve seen significant increases in costs for students and their families over the years ... I think a third year in a row without an increase would be some-thing that students and their parents would very much appreciate.”

University of Iowa Student Government president Patrick Bar-toski said students were impressed by the board’s commitment to afford-ability. He called the freeze a “no-brainer” and said the increases for other students were reasonable and would maintain quality.

Jason DeCrow/AP PhotoA group of protesters rallying against a grand jury’s decision not to indict the police of-ficer involved in the death of Eric Garner marches across the eastbound traffic lanes of the Brooklyn Bridge in the early morning hours of Thursday in New York.

Protests erupt after decision in chokehold By Tom Hays

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The cellphone video of the last moments of Eric Garner’s life was watched millions of times on the Internet, clearly showing a white police officer holding the unarmed black man in a chokehold, even as he re-peatedly gasped, “I can’t breathe.”

But despite that visual evidence, and a medical examiner’s ruling that the chokehold contributed to the death, a Staten Is-land grand jury decided Wednesday not to bring any charges against the of-ficer involved, prompting protests across the coun-try and sending thousands onto New York’s streets, where they marched, chanted and blocked traf-fic into the next morning.

While legal experts note it’s impossible to know how the grand ju-rors reached their conclu-sion, they say the Garner case, like Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson, Mis-souri, once again raised concerns about the influ-ence local prosecutors have over the process of charg-ing the police officers they work with on a daily basis.

“The video speaks for itself,” said Jeffrey Fagan, a professor at Columbia Law School. “It appears to show negligence. But if we learned anything from the Brown case, it’s the power of prosecutors to construct and manage a narrative in a way that can shape the outcome.”

Ekow N. Yankah, a pro-fessor at Cardozo School of Law, agreed that, “It is hard to understand how a jury doesn’t see any prob-

able cause that a crime has been committed or is being committed when looking at that video, especially.”

Another observer, James A. Cohen, who teaches at Fordham Uni-versity Law School, went further, saying, “Logic doesn’t play a role in this process.”

U.S. Attorney Eric Holder said federal prose-cutors would conduct their own investigation of Gar-ner’s July 17 death as offi-cers were attempting to ar-rest him for selling untaxed cigarettes on the street. The New York Police Department also is doing an internal probe which could lead to administra-tive charges against Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who re-mains on desk duty.

The grand jury’s deci-sion prompted emotional protests around New York

and in cities from Atlanta to California.

In Manhattan, dem-onstrators laid down in Grand Central Terminal, walked through traffic on the West Side Highway and blocked the Brooklyn Bridge. A City Council

member cried. Hundreds converged

on the heavily secured area around the annual Rock-efeller Center Christmas tree lighting with a com-bination of professional-looking signs and hand-scrawled placards reading,

“Black lives matter” and “Fellow white people, wake up.” And in the Staten Is-land neighborhood where Garner died, people react-ed with angry disbelief and chanted, “I can’t breathe!” and “Hands up — don’t choke!”

NASA scrubs Orion launch; will try again Friday

CAPE CANAVER-AL, Fla. (AP) — NA-SA’s new Orion space-craft will have to wait another day to fly.

Wind gusts and a sticky rocket valve forced the Cape Canaveral launch team to call off Thursday’s attempt to send Orion into orbit on its first-ever test flight.

NASA promised to try again Friday.

Orion is how NASA hopes to one day send astronauts to Mars. This inaugural flight, while just 4½ hours, will send the unmanned capsule 3,600 miles into space.

High winds twice halted Thursday morn-ing’s countdown with

less than four minutes remaining. Then a valve in the unmanned Delta IV (four) rocket mal-functioned at the three-minute mark. Launch controllers scrambled to check all of these so-called “fill and drain” valves in the three first-stage booster engines. But time ran out.

Yemen’s al-Qaida threatens to kill US hostage

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — A U.S. ter-rorism watchdog says al-Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen is threatening to kill an American hostage kidnapped in the Arabian Peninsula country over a year ago if its demands are not met.

The SITE Intel-ligence Group, which monitors terror sites,

said Thursday it ob-tained a video by Ye-men’s al-Qaida offshoot featuring the hostage identified as 33-year-old Luke Somers, an American British-born photojournalist.

Somers was kid-napped in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, in Sep-tember 2013.

The three-minute video released by SITE

first shows Nasser bin Ali al-Ansi, a local al-Qaida figure, speaking about alleged Ameri-can crimes against the Muslim world and say-ing the U.S. is “aware” of the militants’ de-mands.

Then Somers gives a brief statement in Eng-lish, saying he is certain his “life is in danger” and asking for help.

TCU jumps Florida State into third in playoff rankings

The top four in the College Football Play-off rankings going into the final weekend of the regular season is as fol-lows: Alabama, Oregon, TCU and Florida State.

The question is: Short of a loss by one of those teams, is there anything a team on the outside can do to get in on Sun-day when the final rank-ings are announced and the field for the first playoff is set?

“We’re at the point, we’re waiting for results now,” selection commit-tee chairman and Ar-kansas athletic director Jeff Long said Tuesday night. “We’re waiting for teams to complete their body of work. Again, we don’t project out. We’ve all seen games that have different outcomes than we expect.

“We focus on what has been accomplished to this point, and with that regard, the top four teams to this point are ranked where the com-mittee believes they should be.”

TCU (10-1) moved up to No. 3, becoming the latest team with a loss to jump past unde-feated Florida State, and further distancing itself

from Big 12 rival Bay-lor (10-1). The Bears, who beat TCU 61-58 in Waco, Texas, in Octo-ber, are sixth and Ohio State sits in between them and the Horned Frogs at fifth.

TCU finishes its regular season at home Saturday against Iowa State, which is win-less in the Big 12. Bay-lor hosts Kansas State, which is ninth in the latest rankings.

Baylor is currently working with a public relations firm to provide “additional support in telling the Bears’ story over the last few weeks of the football season,” said Nick Joos, execu-tive athletic director for external affairs.

The PR firm is send-ing notes and statistics about Baylor to media members, not commit-tee members.

The Bears and Horned Frogs will end the season having played 10 common opponents. The biggest difference is TCU played Minne-sota and Baylor played Buffalo. That combined with Baylor’s loss to West Virginia (7-5) is working in the Horned Frogs’ favor and keep-ing the head-to-head matchup from being the deciding factor.

“As we pointed out before, TCU has five wins over teams with winning records or .500 records and above, and Baylor has three, if you

include Texas at 6-6,” Long said. “I can’t say it’s one thing. It’s a number of things we look at, and we believe TCU is bet-ter and deserving of that No. 3 rank over Baylor.”

Further complicat-ing matters, the Horned Frogs and Bears would be co-champions of the Big 12 if both win out. The conference has said it will not designate a champion via a tiebreaker.

The committee’s se-lection protocol requires conference champion-ships be taken into the consideration when judging teams with sim-ilar resumes.

“Well, first we will not determine a cham-pion for the Big 12,” Long said. “We’ve dis-

cussed to this point, and then we will wait for the results, and then we will evaluate those teams, and that’s when the con-ference championship comes into effect.

“We have not had the discussions about what if there’s a co-champion.”

The Seminoles are fourth, still in good shape to reach the play-off if it can win Satur-day’s Atlantic Coast Conference champion-ship game against No. 11 Georgia Tech.

Alabama and Or-egon are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, for the third straight week. The Crimson Tide plays 16th-ranked Missouri in the Southeastern Conference champion-

ship game, and Oregon faces Arizona in the Pac-12 title game.

The Wildcats’ five-spot jump to seventh sets up a possible play-in game in Santa Clara, California, on Friday night. The Wildcats al-ready have beaten Or-egon in Eugene and could make another big jump by doing so again.

Long said the com-mittee did not factor into this week’s rankings the injury to Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, but will after the Buck-eyes face Wisconsin, ranked 13th, in the Big Ten title game on Sat-urday.

“Certainly committee members are very in-terested to watch Ohio State’s performance with the backup quarterback, and again, the results on the field will dictate to us how we feel about Ohio State, how they perform in the game, and then how, if we have to project forward, how they will compete,” he said.

Boise State is the highest ranked — and only ranked — team from outside the Big Five conferences, which puts the Broncos (10-2) in position to receive a bid to one of the four New Year’s Day bowls.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Mike Gesell and his Iowa teammates shook off all the missed shots, ran down loose rebounds and fought their way through to the horn.

North Carolina coach Roy Wil-liams never saw that kind of tough-ness from his team.

Gesell hit a driving layup for the go-ahead three-point play with 1:16 left, helping the Hawkeyes upset the No. 12 Tar Heels 60-55 on Wednes-day night in the ACC/Big Ten Chal-lenge.

Gesell finished with 16 points on a night when both the Hawkeyes (6-2) and Tar Heels (5-2) couldn’t shoot

straight.“Last year I can’t

say we would’ve won this game,” said Adam Woodbury, who scored all 11 of his points after halftime. “We weren’t tough enough last year collectively. I hope this means we’re turning the corner as a program.”

Gesell’s final basket came when the 6-foot-2 junior drove into the paint and scored over the 6-8 Isaiah Hicks.

“The shot clock was starting to run down a little bit so I knew I had

to make a play,” Gesell said. “I just wanted to take it strong to the basket. I know they have a lot of shot block-ers, so I just wanted to get it high off the glass, and I was able to sneak it in there.”

After UNC’s Marcus Paige missed a 3-pointer for the tie, Gesell hit two free throws with 1 second left to seal a win that had Hawkeyes players run-ning onto the court to celebrate at the horn.

Iowa shot just 33 percent and went 3 for 20 from 3-point range, but grabbed 16 offensive rebounds and scored 12 second-chance points after halftime — critical considering Iowa

missed all 12 of its 3-point shots in the second half.

Kennedy Meeks had 15 points and 12 rebounds for UNC, which shot just 28 percent.

Paige finished with 13 points, but went 4 for 16 from the floor and just 3 of 12 from behind the arc. The pre-season Associated Press All-Ameri-can also was called for a charge with 50 seconds left while driving into the paint after Gesell’s three-point play.

“They made some plays down the stretch and we didn’t really respond the way we should’ve,” Paige said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsNCMP’s junior Samantha Hedrick and senior Hannah Scotton earned 2014 IHSGAU All-State Swimming honors. Hedrick was named to the first team and Scotton to the second team in the 100-yard butterfly. Hedrick smashed her own NCMP record in the event earning the second-place medal in 56.09 seconds at the state swim meet in November. Scotton claiming the sixth-place medal in 56.80 seconds.

CMB girls can’t contain No. 7 Nevada

NEVADA — Kati Cassabaum finished with 15 points, 18 rebounds and five steals and Class 3A No. 7 Nevada recovered from a sluggish first quarter to beat Collins-Max-well/Baxter 57-28 here Tuesday.

COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo boys’ basketball team may have played much better in the season opener Tuesday than it did at any point dur-ing last year’s winless campaign.

The Tigerhawks still have a lot to work on, but they trailed by just a point with 4 minutes to go in the first half against Greene County before ultimately losing 75-60 in the home opener.

Jared Myers finished with 17 points, nine rebounds and three as-sists and Colin Laurens added 12 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three blocks, but the Tigerhawks missed 21 shots in the lane in the first half and turned it over 21 times in the loss.

“We did a lot of nice things for a first game,” said Colfax-Mingo coach John Borts. “We looked way more like a varsity basketball team, too.

CARDINAL LANES BOWLING

MUSTANG LANES BOWLING

AMES (AP) — Coach Paul Rhoads believes his Iowa State football team is headed in the right direction despite this sea-son’s miseries, and he’s grateful that his boss agrees.

Athletic director Jamie Pol-lard publicly voiced his sup-port of Rhoads during the coach’s weekly call-in radio show Monday night. Rhoads said Tuesday it was no differ-ent from what Pollard has been telling him all along.

“Jamie and I have such an outstanding relationship and are in constant communica-tion,” Rhoads said. “The sup-port, the encouragement he gave ... is the same thing he’s been giving to me on a week-ly basis as we hit this rough stretch in finishing up the sea-son. He’s aware of the philoso-phy, he’s aware of the direction and certainly he’s supportive of that.”

Iowa State (2-9, 0-8 Big 12) has lost five straight games and is likely to go without a

conference vic-tory for the first time since 2008, the year before Rhoads took over. The Cyclones are huge under-dogs in their season finale at No. 4 TCU on Saturday.

Rhoads took Iowa State to a bowl game in three of his first four seasons, but the Cyclones slipped to 3-9 a year ago and they’ve been worse in 2014. They’ve blown double-digit leads in four of their losses and a young defense is giving up 511 yards and 37 points a game.

Pollard, though, appears to be solidly behind his coach, pointing out that building a winning program at Iowa State always has been a challenge.

“That’s what inspires all of us to be here, and it’s to climb a mountain that others have

never gotten to the top,” Pol-lard said on the radio show. “I look forward to continu-ing that journey with coach Rhoads and hopefully getting there.”

Pollard also said that while he expects to win, he under-stands that a slew of injuries have contributed to this year’s struggles. And he said the pro-gram is “closer to (success) than I think we’re further away, and we look forward to continuing to climb that mountain.”

Nine players have been lost with season-ending injuries and two more stalwarts, tight end E.J. Bibbs and defen-sive lineman Brandon Jensen, might miss Saturday’s game. Only four players have started every game this season.

Still, coaches are judged on winning and there hasn’t been much of that in Ames the last two years.

“As I told you, Jamie and I have a great relationship,” Rhoads said. “That doesn’t

mean he’ll keep me if I keep losing. It’s not that kind of re-lationship. This is a business world. We all get that. My plan is to win in 2015.”

Key players will return at al-most every position to help in that effort, including quarter-back Sam Richardson, most of his wide receivers, four offen-sive linemen from this year’s rotation, four of the top line-backers and the entire defen-sive secondary. The Cyclones also are due for better luck with injuries, so it’s reasonable to expect improvement next season.

“We’re going to be a better football team,” Rhoads said. “We’re going to have more experience, we’re going to be physically more developed. We’ve got some key playmak-ers coming back. We’ve got the understanding of an offense two years running now. There are a lot of things that are in our favor as we go toward 2015.”

North Carolina pulled down 24 offensive rebounds but re-peatedly missed second and third looks off those extra chances and shot just 14 for 30 in the paint.

Iowa’s rebounding was a re-play of UNC’s loss to Butler in last week’s Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas, where the Bull-dogs grabbed 29 offensive re-bounds and had Williams ques-tioning his team’s toughness.

“They wanted it more than we did,” Williams said. “That’s a sorry thing to say. That’s a sad thing to say.”

Woodbury said his team’s de-fense kept the Hawkeyes in this one.

“The thing was, they didn’t shoot the ball very well, either, which speaks to our defense and what we were able to do on that side of the floor,” he said.

UNC outrebounded Iowa 26-15 in the first half and had a 15-1 edge in offensive rebounds. The Hawkeyes reversed that after halftime, finishing with a 27-20 edge overall and a 16-9 advantage on the offensive glass.

“It was the only way we were going to survive,” said Iowa coach Fran McCaffery of the offensive rebounds.

Iowa hosts Maryland-Balti-more County Saturday.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Brandon Prince transferred to UAB to help his ailing father, a single parent, while still doing what he loves most: Playing football.

The redshirt freshman tight end sat out the Blaz-ers’ surprisingly strong sea-son after transferring from Austin Peay, only to see his hometown program get shut down on Tuesday.

“It’s like SMU,” Prince said. “We got the death penalty without any NCAA violations.”

Now Prince and his teammates are left looking for new football homes and scholarships. They are eli-gible to play immediately if they transfer.

UAB became the first major college program since Pacific in 1995 to shut down football. The univer-sity said keeping football would cost an additional $49 million over the next five years, including $22 million in facilities and up-grades.

Players cried and hugged after leaving the meeting.

Astrograph

As Mars leaves the goal- and status-oriented realm of Capricorn for the neigh-boring realm of Aquarius, the warrior planet is like a corporate manager who suddenly decides to burn his suit to don tie-dyed hippie apparel. Mars in Aquarius asks: What if you didn’t worry about the out-come and instead focused solely on how you spend your time?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 4). You steal hearts this year, so don’t be sur-prised when people want to romance you and make your way easier. What they don’t know is that you like to do it yourself. The skills you gain in January lead to future paychecks. Family success is your success in February. May and July bring wishes come true. Scorpio and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 28, 1, 25 and 11.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People want to be recognized and appreciated within their social groups. Currently, you’re finding out that the less this matters

to you the more attention they tend to give you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As social animals, needing to belong to a group is coded in our DNA. Your current question is: Which group? Careful — the answer will determine how you spend the months to come.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It may be difficult to find your motivation in the morning. The trick is in a visual. Look for images that help you to see what life will be like once you do what you set out to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not true that ex-pressing your anger always makes it go away. In fact, too often, expressing anger becomes a pattern of behavior that’s neither ca-thartic nor useful. Focusing differently is the answer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The self-help gurus suggest ways to improve yourself, while the spiritual gurus suggest that you stop judging yourself altogether. Miraculously, you’ll find a

way to follow both sugges-tions at once.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re attractive whether or not you want to be. Sometimes love over-whelms you or makes you long for more freedom. But the more independence you exert the more they chase.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The people you love have a way of changing the way you live. You can’t accommodate them and also do the same things you used to do in the way you used to do them. Anyway, you’re excited to try a new approach.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You realize you must stay positive, because it’s on you to keep the team going. Sometimes being positive means identifying potential trouble sources so you can steer clear. If you see a possible problem looming, speak up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you are with people who are nothing like you, you sometimes feel that your interests aren’t

important. Nothing could be further from the truth. Talk and connect with like minds to remind you of this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Knowing what’s good for you doesn’t make it any easier to do what’s good for you. Luckily, the afternoon brings a boost to your willpower in the form of reduced temptation and a tranquil environment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As others debate narcis-sism, you wonder whether it really matters whether that selfie-snapping conver-sation hog is really a nar-cissist or just self-centered. Either way, you’ll have to figure out how to deal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your confidence may take a dip, but you really don’t have to believe in yourself to succeed. For every successful person who says “I knew I could,” there is another successful person who said “I had no idea I could.”
