Jason W. Brooks/Daily NewsSanta Claus waves to spectators as the last entry in Friday’s 11th annual Lighted Christmas Parade in Newton. Hundreds of people endured chilly but clear conditions for the Festival of Trees, chilli cookoff, the annual Jasper County Courthouse holiday lighting ceremony and the parade.
Holiday tradition attracts hundreds
By Jason W. BrooksNewton Daily News
A couple of days before the 80th annual Jasper County Courthouse holiday lighting ceremony and the 11th annual lighted Christmas parade, it looked like the weather might make events and proce-dures difficult.
However, clear conditions and temperatures in the upper 30s prevailed on Friday, making for a breezy, chilly ceremony, but one with no new precipitation. Horse-drawn carriage rides, treats and appearances by Santa Claus greet-
ed hundreds of children and oth-ers who attended the festivities.
Phyllis McDonald is the co-owner of Plume Hill Carriage Service, which brought in the carriages and horses for the rides, said her husband Keith and her have had to adapt for the weather many times during past years’ cer-emonies.
“To get all this deep cold for so long in November is a little odd,” she said. “But we adjust as we go. For example, we did three teams this year, where we usually only do two.”
The third Plume Hill carriage
was actually a sleigh with wheels on the bottom, and carried Santa as part of its precious cargo.
The Young Professionals of Jasper County put on a small chili cookoff in front of the courthouse before the lighting commenced. Chef Dale Miller, of Hy-Vee, won the cookoff, beating out entries from local resident Mark Allen, of Edward Jones, Jeff Price of Great Western Bank, Jeremy Biondi of Moo’s BBQ and the color-fully dressed Trent Staley of Iowa Speedway.
Winter care for pets can be lifesaving
By Jamee A. PiersonNewton Daily News
Even with a built in fur coat, winter weather still affects animals just as much as their own-ers. The Jasper County Rescue League has a few helpful tips for keep-ing pets safe and happy during the cold winter months.
“We always recom-mend that any animals be brought inside in the winter time because it is cold and they can get frost bite,” Tinneille Collins, Animal Control Officer said.
She said, any time it is freezing out ani-mals should be inside. If that is not possible, the animal needs to have a shelter with blankets and straw to keep warm and out of the elements. It is important to check on the animal every few
hours to assure they are doing alright.
If they are outside, the animal should get plenty of food and wa-ter. A heated water bowl is recommended be-cause water can freeze in a short amount of time leaving the animal without water. It is also important to keep the bowls clean. Space heat-ers or heat lamps are not recommended because of a risk of burns or a fire.
Any size pet is vulner-able to the cold weather, whether a new kitten or a 100-pound dog. If the pet has a short coat or seems bothered by the cold, a sweater or coat is recommended as long as it stays dry. A wet coat can make the animal colder than just going without.
Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsWinter weather can be harmful and dangerous to animals if proper care is not taken during the below freezing tem-perature months.

Newton Health Care Cen-ter won Facility of the Year at the annual meeting for the Ide Management Group Nov. 7 in Indianapolis. It is the first time the Newton facility won the top award. Along with the facility award, four employees received excellence awards for various contribution.
“All the employees are the reason we won tonight, but these four really standout,” Admin-istrator Ryan Shear said. “They put their heart and soul into car-ing for our residents.”
Dee Jones, a cook at Newton Health, was named Customer Service Superstar of the Year.
“She was so surprised when they announced her name,” Community Liaison Director
Heidi Pearson said. “From re-membering extra cranberry juice for a resident to grilling in the rain to give the residents the cookout they were promised, Dee is always committed to their care.”
Kim Judge, who has worked at Newton Health Care since 2009, was named Life Enrich-ment Superstar of the Year for her Life Enrichment Director position. Cheryl Quinn, who started in 2013, was named Di-etary Manager of the Year. Judy Neal was named Business Office Manager of the Year after four years at Newton Health Care and 23 years of experience work-ing in long-term care. All win-ners had to be nominated for the award they received. It is the first time any member of the Newton Health Care Center staff has won an award with past nomi-
nations coming up empty.“None of them knew and we
managed to keep it a secret,” Pearson said. “Our employees that won really deserve it. They all do super great work and the residents love them and they are the people that are always there consistently pitching in all of the time.”
Newton Health Care Center and TruRehab, an IMG Health Care Center of Excellence, is a long term care and skilled nurs-ing rehabilitation facility who offer a full spectrum of care including skilled nursing care, short term rehabilitation, re-spite care and traditional long-term care. It has been a member of the Ide Management Group since 2008.
Report: Midwest economic index dips again
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A monthly economic survey index for nine Midwestern and Plains states has dipped again.
A survey report issued Monday says the overall Mid-America Business Conditions Index fell in No-vember to 51.3 from 51.8 in October. September’s figure was 54.3.
After rising in June to its highest level in more than three years, the overall reading has hovered in a range pointing to much slower growth for the overall regional economy over the next three to six months.
The survey results from supply managers are com-piled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Any score above 50 suggests economic growth, while a score below that suggests decline.
The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Min-nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Okla-homa and South Dakota.

Cyber Monday gears up to get online shoppers hyped
NEW YORK (AP) — After a busy holiday week-end in shopping malls, millions of Americans are ex-pected to log on and keep shopping on the day dubbed Cyber Monday.
Retailers have been pushing “cyber” deals all month and will continue to do so this week, dubbed “Cyber Week,” hoping to spur customers to spend. Research firm comScore said late Sunday that e-commerce spending for the first 28 days of the November and December shopping season totaled $22.7 billion, up 15 percent from last year. Sales jumped 32 percent to $1 billion on Thanksgiving Day and 26 percent on Black Friday to $1.51 billion. The firm expects people to spend about $2.5 billion on Cyber Monday alone.
On Monday, Gap and Banana Republic offered a blanket 40 percent off all purchases.
Amazon, which offers new deals every 10 minutes, offered up to 45 percent off some Samsung TVs and 60 percent off a Canon wireless printer selling for $39.99. Amazon is rolling out deals throughout the day including its Amazon Fire TV video streaming box marked down to $69 from $99, beginning in the afternoon.
Wal-Mart said it has doubled its Cyber Week deals to 500 compared with last year, including up to half off some TVs, tablets and toys with free-shipping of-fers. Wal-Mart is also rolling out new deals later in the day in its so-called “Evening Edition” round of deals, including a Straight Talk Moto E Android Phone for $9.99, 90 percent off its regular price.

World stocks, oil down on Chinese, US dataBEIJING (AP) — World
stocks fell on Monday after a gauge of Chinese manu-facturing declined and U.S. retail sales fell Thanksgiving weekend.
Oil prices continued to fall, dragging Russia’s ruble to a record low, while Hong Kong shares dived following clashes between police and pro-democracy protesters.
Keeping ScoreGermany’s DAX shed
0.1 percent to 9,971.40 and France’s CAC 40 dropped 0.2 percent to 4,382.95. Britain’s FTSE 100 shed 0.8 percent to 6,669.47. Futures pointed to losses on Wall Street. Dow futures fell 0.2 percent and S&P 500 fu-tures dropped 0.3 percent.
China FactoriesA survey by HSBC Corp.
showed Chinese manufac-turing activity weakened in November, adding to signs
an economic slowdown is deepening. HSBC said its purchasing managers’ index declined to 50.0 from the previous month’s 50.4 on a 100-point scale on which numbers below 50 show ac-tivity contracting. The bank said domestic demand was sluggish and new orders were weak. China’s econom-ic growth slowed to a five-year low of 7.3 percent in the latest quarter.
The Quote“The November PMIs
confirm that growth in Chi-na’s industry remains under downward pressure,” said Louis Kuijs of Royal Bank of Scotland in a report. “The surprisingly meager devel-opment of the new export order component in today’s PMI indices suggests that global demand growth also remains subdued.”
Black Friday
Early discounting, more online shopping and a mixed economy meant fewer people shopped over Thanksgiving weekend, the National Re-tail Federation said Sun-day. Overall, 133.7 million people shopped in stores and online over the four-day weekend, down 5.2 percent from last year, according to a survey of 4,631 people. Total spending for the weekend is expected to fall 11 percent to $50.9 billion from an esti-mated $57.4 billion last year.
Hong KongPolice charged protesters
who tried to march to Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying’s office after organizers said they would step up their campaign for democratic re-forms. Pro-democracy activ-ists oppose plans that call for a panel of Beijing-friendly elites to screen candidates for Hong Kong’s first di-
rect election of its leader in 2017. The territory’s finance secretary, John Tsang, ex-pressed concern Monday that the conflict that began in September will “under-mine consumer and investor confidence,” holding back an economic recovery.
Asia’s DayHong Kong’s Hang Seng
index plunged 2.6 percent to 23,367.45. China’s Shanghai Composite Index shed 0.1 percent to 2,680.16 while Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 added 0.8 to 17,590.10. Seoul’s Kospi declined 0.8 percent to 1,965.22. India’s Sensex was down 0.4 percent at 28,579.39. Singapore and Sydney also declined.
Oil PlungeOil prices fell further fol-
lowing last week’s decision by members of the Organi-zation of Petroleum Export-ing Countries to maintain
production levels despite weaker global demand. The U.S. benchmark fell more than 10 percent on Friday to below $70 per barrel for the first time since 2010 and is off 35 percent from its June high. On Monday, it was down another 59 cents to $65.56 a barrel.
Russia DayThe drop in oil prices is
hitting markets in Russia particularly hard. The coun-try is a big producer of oil, though not a part of OPEC, and its economy is also hurt by Western sanctions over the crisis in Ukraine. On Monday, its currency, the ruble, slumped in currency markets, sliding 4.5 percent against the dollar.
CurrencyThe dollar fell to 118.51
yen from Friday’s 118.61 yen. The euro rose to $1.2460 from $1.2448.

Nuts & PregnancyMothers-to-be who are not allergic to nuts or peanuts may reduce their baby’s risk of de-veloping those allergies by consuming nuts and peanuts during their pregnancy. A recent study found that the more nuts a woman ate during her pregnancy, or within a year before or after pregnancy, the less likely her child was to develop nut allergies.The study doesn’t prove a cause-and-effect re-lationship, just an as-sociation. Researchers say the findings seem to support the idea that early allergen exposure increases the likelihood of tolerance and thereby lowers the risk of food allergy.
While exercising your animals, avoid icy areas to avoid falls that could lead to injuries. When the walk is finished, wash down the animals paws, legs and belly to clean off any deicers, antifreeze or other chemicals that are put out during the winter.
“Just like not leaving your dogs in the car (in the summer), same in the winter time. It is still going to get cold. It still applies in the winter time, it is still cold even if they are in the car,” Collins said.
Keep a closer eye on animals that are young, old, ill or thin because they are especially susceptible to the cold environments. If the animal is whining, shivering, seems anxious, slows down or stops mov-ing, seems weak or starts looking for warm places to burrow they are showing signs of hypothermia and need to get to a warm place along with contacting a veterinarian immediately.
Even if you do not have pets, warm cars are a favorite place for stray cats to borrow. When getting in your car, make a loud noise or open and close the door to scare out any unwanted guests.

him close to home and allow him to continue public service.
“I learned a lot as secretary of state and I’m proud of my service here,” he said, sitting at his desk in the ornate office at the Iowa Capitol. “I think just the experience I’ve had will just help me be a better public servant, es-pecially on the local level.”
He leaves the office unable to get voter ID through the Legislature and with a controversial legacy, includ-ing lawsuits and harsh criticism that he tried to suppress votes.
Schultz paid $250,000 over two years to investigate voter fraud cases that resulted in election-related charges against 27 people. Critics including the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, which says Schultz spent too much time and money pursuing cases of a small number of voters who didn’t intend to break the law.
The ACLU sued Schultz in 2012 over a rule he passed that would have removed voters from registra-tion rolls if they could not confirm their citizenship. A judge found state law does not authorize the secretary of state to cancel a voter’s registration based on citizenship questions. Schultz has appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court, which hasn’t yet ruled.
“I truly believe that our system is built on having this trust in our elections and that voter ID and making sure that if you’re voting that you’re eligible to vote is an in-herent part of that,” he said.
As he campaigned for county attorney, he faced doubters who accused him of not living in the county but staying in a house owned by his mother-in-law.
The truth, he said, is that his wife’s mother wanted to move from Washington to Iowa to be nearer to her daughter and grandchildren. Schultz said he and his wife decided to pool resources with her mother and buy a home big enough for their growing family, which now includes five children ranging in age from 12 to 1. His wife and her mother are listed on the deed.

Staley was the only chili contest partici-pant in full costume. With the Wonder Bread NASCAR rac-ing suit reminiscent of the movie “Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby” covered by a green elf jacket and hat, Staley was a Will Ferrell-inspired char-acter he called “Ricky Buddy, the NASCAR Elf.”
“If you’re not first, you’re a cotton-pickin’ ninny muggins,” Staley said.
The lighting of the courthouse went up with the expected cheers, although many in attendance were in-side the warm court-house at the time — some admiring the Festival of Trees pre-sentation.
The parade followed, with Santa Claus wav-ing to everyone as his entry wrapped up the approximate 10 entries in the short parade. Iowa State Rep. Dan Kelley, as well as lo-cal first responders and businesses all had floats.

Farm Bill producer meeting dates setNewton Daily News
The Jasper County FSA office will be co-hosting the following meetings with infor-mation on the new 2014 Farm Bill, more specifically the new programs-Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Cover-age (PLC).
The first meeting will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2 at Drake Community Library, 930 Park St. in Grinnell, which is co-hosted with Poweshiek County FSA.
The second meet-ing will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Dec. 4 at City Hall in Monroe, 206 W. Sherman, which is co-hosted with Mari-on County FSA.
During the meet-ing, producers will be informed of the new farm programs available for 2014-18, ARC and PLC. These programs have replaced the previous ACRE and DCP pro-grams from the 2008 Farm Bill. ARC/PLC provides revenue and price loss payments to eligible producers for the 2014-18 crop
years.Owners of farms
also have the option to update their farm’s current CC Yields and/or reallocate base acres. There will not be an option to in-crease the base acres on the farm. The up-date process will be completed by an own-er of the farm; howev-er operators can sub-mit certified yield data to the FSA office. The deadline to update the farm is Feb. 27.
The second step is to elect a farm pro-gram for each farm/covered commodity.
All current producers will make the Elec-tion and can take place anytime between now and March 31.
If you fail to make a timely election on the farm, the farm will default into the PLC program starting in year 2015, forfeit-ing any potential 2014 payments, if triggered. Enrollment for 2014 and 2015 will run si-multaneously starting in mid-April 2015.

Public education resists high standardsSue AtkinsonBaxter
Intervention is used when a behavior is considered destruc-tive, and it is generally resisted by the object of the interven-tion. The public education sys-tem in this country has, gener-ally, resisted raising standards and getting back on track with curriculum and teacher training, with Iowa being one of the more challenging states.
The National Council on Teacher Quality has been very specific on the changes neces-sary by state, and international assessments coming from the OECD (writer and administra-tor of the international PISA exams) corroborate the findings of the NCTQ. The Iowa De-partment of Education pays attention to these, and has re-vamped its web site this fall with these in mind.
More than 2,500 years ago, Plato wrote about the science of
education, using reading, math, and science concepts (effectively taught) as the core disciplines to apply to all other disciplines used in education. Major civi-lizations from that time for-ward have used this approach. Just more than 100 years ago, the U.S. chose to take its public education off the connection be-tween reading, math and science concepts applied to other disci-plines; then 60 years ago pub-lic education began removing concepts, replacing them with memorization. A 1982 report, “A Nation at Risk” warned of the consequences, but this mild intervention failed to change the memorization approach and continued lowering of standards. Finally, the government staged a major intervention in 2001 with No Child Left Behind, and the object of the intervention ex-ploded with indignation.
Here is the difference. Mentally engaging in learn-ing and applying concepts is analogous to physically doing daily exercises to build up the
body for other applications. Effectively teaching concepts is the exercise needed for grade level. Memorization is like watching someone else do the exercises and then re-lating what exercises they did; the physical development is not present.
I contacted the Iowa Depart-ment of Education regarding the use of sight words in school reading programs (which is memorization and not a con-cept-learning activity); I was informed sight words are not in the Iowa Core beyond kinder-garten (the national Common Core does not have them). Schools that have purchased new reading programs covering all five of the “science of read-ing” concepts have no need for memorized sight words.
Use of sight words dumbs down the potential effects of the new programs by add-ing memorization activities in place of training for teachers to help them effectively teach all five of the reading concepts.
This Thanksgiving, I gave thanks for some-thing our forebears gave us: property rights.
Pe o -ple as-soc i a t e property r i g h t s w i t h g r e e d and self-ishness, but they are keys to our prosperity. Things go wrong when resources are held in common.
Before the Pilgrims were able to hold the first Thanksgiving, they nearly starved. Although they had inherited ideas about individualism and property from the Eng-lish and Dutch trading empires, they tried com-munism when they ar-rived in the New World. They decreed that each family would get an equal share of food, no matter how much work they did.
The results were di-sastrous. Gov. William Bradford wrote, “Much was stolen both by night and day.” The same plan in Jamestown contributed to starvation, cannibal-ism and death of half the population.
So Bradford decreed that families should in-stead farm private plots. That quickly ended the suffering. Bradford wrote that people now “went willingly into the field.”
Soon, there was so much food that the Pil-grims and Indians could celebrate Thanksgiving.
There’s nothing like competition and self-interest to bring out the best in people.
While property among the settlers began as an informal system, with “tomahawk rights” to land indicated by shav-ing off bits of surround-ing trees, or “corn rights” indicated by growing corn, soon settlers were keeping track of con-tracts, filing deeds and, alas, hiring lawyers to sue each other. Property rights don’t end all con-flict, but they create a better system for settling disputes than physical combat.
Knowing that your property is really yours makes it easier to plant, grow, invest and prosper.
In Brazil today, rain-forests are destroyed be-cause no one really owns them. Loggers take as many trees as they can because they know if they don’t, someone else will. No one had much reason to preserve trees or plant new ones for future harvests; although recently, some private conservation groups bought parcels of the Amazon in order to pro-tect trees.
The oceans are treated as a commons, and they are difficult to privatize. For years, lack of owner-ship led to overfishing. Species will go extinct if they aren’t treated as property. Now a few places award fishing rights to private groups of fishermen. Canada privatized its Pacific fisheries, saving the hali-but from near collapse. When fishermen control fishing rights, they care about preserving fish.
Think about your Thanksgiving turkey. We eat tons of them, but no one worries that tur-keys will go extinct. We know there will be more next year, since people profit from owning and raising them.
As the 19th-century economist Henry George said, “Both humans and hawks eat chickens — but the more hawks, the fewer chickens; while the more humans, the more chickens.”
(Sadly, even Henry George didn’t completely believe in private prop-erty. He thought land should be unowned, since latecomers can’t produce more of it. Had he seen how badly the commonly owned rainforest is treat-ed, he might’ve changed his mind.)
Hernando de Soto (the contemporary Peru-vian economist, not the Spanish conquistador) writes about the way clearly defined property rights spur growth in the developing world. Places without clear property rights — much of the third world — suffer.
Great community made Thanksgiving dinner a successCurtis HerbigNewton
I am writing as the owner of Culver’s to thank the Salvation
Army, United Way and all the great volunteers we had at Cul-ver’s for our free Thanksgiving dinner. I cannot thank you all enough for your welcome assis-tance during our hectic holiday season. Your willingness to show up on short notice to cook, serve meals, help with the cleanup and
make people smile made a great difference. If you hadn’t been willing to help I am not sure if we could have put this event to-gether for this great community. We all thank you for your ex-ample and trust we didn’t work you too hard. We hope you will be able to help again next year.

I caught a glimpse of his smug little smile before I’d even managed to make my way to the coffeepot Sunday morn-ing.
There he was — 24 nights of pure panic dressed up in a red suit and sitting on the kitchen island with his very own book, “The Elf on the Shelf.”
To be clear, I get it. It’s a tradition. It’s been fun. But the ages of our children span from 9 to 12. At this point we know for sure that two of them have graduated into non-believers. Our youngest, who hasn’t muttered a word about disbelief, was responsible for locating the Elf and setting him out to frighten me out of my morning fog.
There he was, proof that our kid still believes in magic.
Quick background on our creepy, little friend — two women from Georgia wrote this book about the Elf on the Shelf, how he essentially
serves as Santa’s spy on the kids during the holidays and then reports back to big guy.
In the process the elf moves to a new location each night, I repeat each night, and some-times finds “mischief ” along the way. I wildly praise the au-thors for the one rule, which requires that the kids can’t touch him. The book was paired with a small elf doll, and the rest is trendy Christ-mas history.
So when I saw him sit-ting there, I couldn’t help but quickly pronounce his death at my son’s hands. How un-fortunate. Maybe he could be revived at a younger child’s home, I suggested.
“I only touched the book,” he said, with serious eyes locked on me. “I didn’t touch him.”
Fine.It’s not so much about en-
suring you have this perma-nent houseguest during the
sometimes stressful holiday season. It’s the pressure to per-form. Somehow the Elf is not about the shelf — at all. He’s about the most clever, hilari-ous ideas you can think of and subsequently post to your Pin-trest, Instagram and Facebook accounts.
And for that I thank you.It’s been about three years
since we came up with an orig-inal idea for our elf. Honestly, I am perfectly fine with the In-ternet doing the thinking for me when it’s 11:45 p.m. and I jolt out of bed to remember, once again, our little friend is in the same spot as the previ-ous night.
If you do burn the midnight oil to ensure your elf is lying on a perfectly solid marsh-mallow raft and floating in a sink with an umbrella drink, be sure he’s in the main bath. The last thing you want is the daily scavenger hunt to turn into a tardy at school. Because
if there is one more thing you want to cram into your morn-ing routine I think we would all agree it ’s wandering around the house looking for a doll.
I don’t mean to sound com-pletely cynical. I’m only sug-gesting that before you add this little time suck to be a part of your holiday tradition, you consider the expiration date.
For now, we’ll face the holi-day music, bookmark the best ideas and try to remember the good stuff — the kids gath-ered around as we read the book as a family, the hilarity that often ensues when you’re scrambling around the house with your husband and an elf doll, the delight in their eyes when they discover him each morning and the pure magic of childhood at Christmas.

DEAR ABBY: For those who are looking for gift suggestions for older parents, may I offer what my kids do for us? They live far away and usually visit us in the spring and fall.
Before they leave, my daughter scrubs my bathroom shower and the rest of the room, cleans my refrigerator, oven, kitchen cabinets, my carpets — things that are difficult for me to do. While she’s inside doing that, my son-in-law is outside trimming trees and bushes, do-ing general yard cleanup in the spring and raking leaves and disposing of them in the fall.
In addition, during the months BE-FORE their visit, my daughter is set-ting aside and freezing small portions of entrees so we will have future dinners from her meals. She also freezes an as-sortment of different soups in zip-lock bags, laid flat so they will fit well in my freezer. While they’re here, they cook all the meals and do the cleanup. What a wonderful gift!
Even if some families don’t cook, they could make up small meals with deli purchases and freeze them for their parents. Nothing could be appreciated more. Instead of buying a useless gift be-cause “We didn’t know what to get you — you said you didn’t want anything,” these are gifts that keep on giving! — TRULY BLESSED IN MONTANA
DEAR TRULY BLESSED: I agree. And you are fortunate to have such car-ing family members. Please allow me to offer some additional gift suggestions for seniors:
Many individuals on fixed incomes would appreciate a gift basket of good-ies such as small cans of tuna, salmon or soup. Include with them crackers, assorted flavors of instant coffee, herbal teas, soup mixes and cookies.
Gift certificates also make welcome gifts: for groceries, haircuts, manicures, dry cleaning, restaurant meals, theater tickets and department stores. And
don’t forget prepaid calling cards.Create homemade coupons that can
be redeemed for chores such as window washing, painting, replacing air condi-tioning filters and light bulbs, moving heavy furniture for spring and fall clean-ing, and transportation for shopping, doctor’s visits, etc.
Because not all seniors drive, bus passes and coupons for senior transpor-tation or taxis can also give the recipient the gift of freedom.
Sweat pants, athletic socks and walk-ing shoes may motivate the sedentary to become more active — which improves circulation and cognition for people of every age.
Stationery, stamps and some felt-tipped pens make handy gifts that can be used throughout the year. And so do large-print address books with the in-formation already transferred from the recipients’ records.
And please, don’t forget that the hol-iday season can be a depressing time for people who are alone. I am often asked for gift ideas for the person “who al-ready has everything.” My answer: The greatest gift a person can give is the gift of yourSELF. If you know someone who could use an outing, offer the most meaningful gift of all — an invitation to share a meal with you or your family.
Give gift of your service to help out older parents

Girl, 5, dies 2 weeks after sledding accident
COUNCIL BLUFFS — A 5-year-old Iowa girl has died two weeks after she was hit by a truck while sledding down her grandfather’s driveway.
Council Bluffs Police said Kailey Malo-ney died Saturday at the Nebraska Medi-cal Center in Omaha. She had been treat-ed there since her Nov. 16 injury.
Maloney was sledding down the drive-way of her grandfather’s property. She was hit by a 2005 Chevrolet pickup truck after she slid into the street.
2 hospitalized after semis collide in Iowa
LE MARS — Authorities say two people were hospitalized after two semi-trailers collided in northwest Iowa.

3 NW Iowa state Rep. Alons dies after cancer battle
DES MOINES — Iowa state Rep. Dwayne Alons, who was battling renal cancer, has died.
Republican leaders in the state House announced Sunday that Alons died late Saturday.

Longtime store closes after 125 years
CEDAR RAPIDS — A longtime store in downtown Cedar Rapids has closed af-ter 125 years in business.
Smulekoff ’s Home Store closed its doors at the end of Friday, after shoppers made last-minute purchases and remi-nisced about the store’s history.
The store had five floors of furniture, and included electronics and other home products. Its 72-year-old owner decided to shut down the store after he had no one to turn it over to.
Railroads say delays improving in Great Plains
SIOUX CITY — Rail delays have been a problem for farmers throughout much of the Great Plains this year, but they’ve been less of an issue in Iowa, Ne-braska and South Dakota.
Grain elevators around Sioux City say their rail shipments of grain this year have been mostly on time, and they’re cau-tiously optimistic about handling the big 2014 harvest over the next few months.

Iowa church volunteers help fight child hungerBy Ally KarsynSioux City Journal
SIOUX CITY — The rustle of plastic-wrapped fruit snacks and the shuffle of card-board boxes filled a Sunday school room at Grace United Methodist Church.
Clear plastic bags moved down an assembly line. Volun-teers filled them with pudding, applesauce, granola bars and instant oatmeal in an effort to fight child hunger at a neigh-boring school.
“We’ve seen the need in the community,” said Marcia Erik-sen, who helps coordinate the packing party each month.
Weekend Food for Spald-ing Park Elementary started last year as a mission outreach to celebrate the church’s 125th anniversary. The congrega-tion came together to fund the
project, which provided food bags to 265 children once a month.
Through continued sup-port, this school year 250 stu-dents at Spalding and 50 at the Native American Child Care Center, housed in the church basement, receive food bags every other Friday.
Each one contains 10 easy-to-eat, shelf-stable items in-cluding cereal, cheese and crackers, Slim Jims and juice.
The church’s outreach is patterned after the Food Bank of Siouxland’s BackPack Pro-gram: Food for Kids, which puts nutritious meals directly into the hands of children at risk of hunger. It was started in 2006 and now serves six Sioux-land elementary schools.
Lewis & Clark in South Sioux City, and Hunt, Irving, Liberty, Loess Hills and Unity
in Sioux City all have a high number of students receiving free and reduced-price meals.
More than 2,000 children benefit from the Food Bank program each week.
However, gaps remain due to limited resources. Area churches have stepped up to supplement food supplies.
The Food Bank of Sioux-land gave guidance to St. James United Methodist Church when the congregation wanted to start a food assistance pro-gram for Whittier Elementary two years ago. Food 4 Kids of-fers aid to hungry schoolchil-dren two blocks away from the Morningside church.
Once that ministry was es-tablished, the goodwill kept going. Grace began its week-end backpack program with the help of St. James.
Sunnybrook Community
Church also sponsors a similar program that benefits students at East Middle School.
Food insecurity exists in every county across America. Children are at higher risk, ranging from a low of 6 percent in Bowman County, North Dakota, to a high of 41 percent in Zavala County, Texas, ac-cording to Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap study.
Further findings show mil-lions of food-insecure chil-dren live in households with incomes above the eligibility threshold for federal nutrition programs.
This is where Grace steps in.
Volunteers have hit a rhythm. Once a month, they pick up, pack and deliver 600 bags of food. Teachers stag-ger their release, giving 300 students something to eat two
weekends each month.“We’d like to increase that
number,” said Kathie Guggen-mous, who serves on the out-reach committee.
“We’d have to find a bigger closet,” Eriksen said.
They buy products in bulk from Sam’s Club, cutting costs down to $2.50 per bag. For the latest packing party, 192 cases of food arrived at the church.
More than 20 volunteers went to work. Within an hour, the room was quiet, complete-ly clear of volunteers and not a Slim Jim in sight. Twenty-four bins were ready to be delivered.
“It’s a God thing,” Eriksen said. “We put the announce-ment out that this is what we’re doing and the people show up.”
The people show up, the money comes in and the chil-dren get to eat again.
Leaders seek to expand walk-to-school programIOWA CITY (AP)
— Volunteers in a walk-to-school program at an Iowa City elementa-ry school say they want to expand the initiative to include more partici-pants.
The program at Longfellow Elementary School allows a trained adult to lead students on a walking route to the school. Organizers hope to increase partic-ipation next spring by
expanding the number of walking routes to two instead of one.
Organizers also hope to increase the number of students and volun-teers participating in the program.
The program was launched at Longfellow in October with about 11 students and several adults. It was held on Wednesday mornings, though volunteers want to expand that soon
as well. The program ended for the season on Nov. 19 but will pick up again after spring break.
Julie Dancer, a parent who volunteered to lead the program this fall, said her two children were excited to walk to school.
“The best thing was that we were walking instead of driving, my-self included,” she said.
The program is part of the Iowa City Com-munity School Dis-trict’s efforts to increase health-related activi-ties.

Retail group: Black Friday weekend loses allureNEW YORK (AP) —
Black Friday fatigue is set-ting in.
Early discounting, more online shopping and a mixed economy meant fewer people shopped over Thanksgiv-ing weekend, according to a survey of shoppers released Sunday by the National Re-tail Federation.
Overall, 133.7 million people shopped at stores and online over the four-day holiday weekend, down 5.2 percent from last year, ac-cording to a survey of 4,631 people conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics for the trade group.
Total spending for the
weekend is expected to fall 11 percent to $50.9 billion from an estimated $57.4 billion last year. Shoppers, on average, are expected to spend $380.95 over the four days, down 6.4 percent from $407.02 last year. That marked the second year in a row spending was down.
Part of the reason is that Target, Macy’s, Wal-Mart and other major retailers pushed fat holiday discounts as early as Halloween and opened stores even earlier on Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday shopping season, stealing some thunder from Black Friday and the rest of the weekend.
The preliminary data also raises worries shoppers re-main frugal despite improv-ing employment and falling gas prices.
Matt Shay, the trade group’s CEO, told reporters that the effect of the econ-omy is puzzling, but he be-lieves that people benefiting a recovering economy may not feel the need to fight the crowds to get the deepest discount on a TV or toaster. And those who still feel like they’re still stuck in a reces-sion may not have the money and will stretch out what they spend through Christmas.
“While they’re more opti-mistic, they’re very cautious,”
Shay told reporters during a conference call. “They’re still looking for the deals. If the deals are not right for them, they’re not going to spend.”
Bottom line: Expect more deep discounting, all season long.
“Every day will be Black Friday. Every minute will be Cyber Monday,” he said.
That could be what it takes to get shoppers to open their wallets for the holiday shopping season, which ac-counts for 20 percent of the retail industry’s annual sales.
Despite an improving economy, high food prices and stagnant wages are still affecting on shoppers.
And people also are be-coming more discerning when they shop. Armed with smartphones and price-comparison apps, they know what’s a good deal, and what’s not.
Kimani Brown, 39, of Manhattan, was among the Black Friday defectors. Af-ter four years of braving the crowds, he called it quits this year.
“I consider myself a smart shopper. And it’s not as allur-ing as it used to be,” Brown said. “It’s a marketing tool, and I don’t want to be pulled into it.” He said he looked at the sales and wasn’t im-pressed.
Girl Scouts biting into digital for cookie sales
NEW YORK (AP) — Watch out world, the Girl Scouts are going digital to sell you cookies.
For the first time in nearly 100 years, Girl Scouts of the USA will allow its young go-getters to push their wares using a mobile app or personalized websites.
But only if their scout councils and guardians say OK.
“Girls have been telling us that they want to go into this space,” said Sarah Angel-Johnson, chief digital cookie executive for the organization covering about 2 million girls. “Online is where entrepreneurship is go-ing.”
And the best news for these digital natives: They can have cookies shipped directly to your doorstep.
More than 1 million scouts, from kindergarten-age Daisies to teens, were expected to opt in as cookie-sell-ing season cranks up this month and the scouting orga-nization gets digital sales underway. But digital sales are intended to enhance, not replace, the paper spreadsheets used to generate an estimated $800 million in cookie sales a year — at anywhere from $3.50 to $5 a box, de-pending on scout council.
There are important e-lessons here, scout officials said, such as better articulating and tracking goals, learning to handle customers and money in a new way, and more efficiently processing credit card information.
Ferguson mayor: No severance package for WilsonThe Associated Press
FERGUSON, Mo. — Ferguson police Of-ficer Darren Wilson did not receive a severance package when he re-signed over the week-end, the St. Louis sub-urb’s mayor said Sunday.
Wilson, 28, won’t re-ceive any further pay or benefits, and he and the city have cut their ties, Mayor James Knowles told reporters a day af-ter Wilson tendered his resignation, which was effective immediately.
Wilson, who is white, had been on adminis-trative leave since he killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, during an Aug. 9 confrontation. A grand jury decided
Monday not to indict him, sparking days of sometimes violent pro-tests in Ferguson and other cities.
Wilson wrote in his resignation letter that his “continued employ-ment may put the resi-dents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a cir-cumstance I cannot al-low.”
His lawyer, Neil Bruntrager, told The Associated Press that Wilson decided to step aside after police Chief Tom Jackson told him about the alleged threats on Saturday.
“The information we had was that there would be actions tar-geting the Ferguson (police) department or buildings in Ferguson related to the police de-partment,” Bruntrager said. He said Wilson, who had worked for
the department for less than three years, and the city were already discussing an exit strat-egy, acknowledging that Wilson staying on as an officer there would be impossible.
Many have criticized the authorities’ han-dling of the case, but Knowles said no lead-ership changes were in the works. Asked if he would resign, Jackson said flatly, “No.”
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Brown’s family, said Wilson’s resignation was not a surprise.
“It was always be-lieved that the police officer would do what was in his best inter-est, both personally and professionally,” Crump said. “We didn’t believe that he would be able to be effective for the Ferguson community nor the Ferguson Police
Department because of the tragic circumstances that claimed the life of Michael Brown Jr.”
Crump said the fam-ily is still considering civil litigation such as a wrongful death lawsuit, “but don’t let that get confused with the fact that they really wanted the killer of their child to be held accountable.”
Victoria Rutherford of Ferguson said she believed Wilson should have not only resigned, but been convicted of a crime.
“I’m upset. I have a 16-year-old son. It could’ve been him. I feel that he was absolutely in the wrong,” she said.
Others residents were more sympathetic. Reed Voorhees said he hoped Wilson could find simi-lar work “someplace where he would enjoy life, and move on with his life.”

Hawkeyes pin Clones, continue to rule rivalry
IOWA CITY (AP) — Top-ranked Iowa topped Iowa State in wrestling for the 11th straight time, winning eight of 10 matches in a 28-8 victory before 11,882 fans Saturday night at Carver-Hawk-eye Arena.
The Hawkeyes im-proved to 4-0, and the No. 15 Cyclones fell to 4-1.
“You can probably ask 11,800 people what they thought and, be-cause they’re so edu-cated, you’d probably get a good answer,” Iowa coach Tom Brands said. “And I’ll probably give you the same answer. I think it was workman-like. I think it was a little ho-hum, maybe.”
Iowa won the first five bouts, all by deci-sion, and carried a 15-0 lead at the intermission. Iowa State finally got on the board when third-ranked Michael Moreno beat Nick Moore 6-3 at 165 pounds.
Kyven Gadson, at 197 pounds, was the only other Iowa State winner. He pinned Kris Klap-prodt in 5:31. A point was deducted from Iowa State’s team total af-ter Gadson’s match for
White leads Hawkeyes to win over Longwood
IOWA CITY (AP) — Fran McCaffery’s short-term fix to Iowa’s i n c o n -s i s t e n t o f f e n s e is better defense.
Aaron W h i t e s c o r e d 19 points and the H a w k -e y e s forced a season-best 20 turnovers as they rolled to a 77-44 win over Longwood on Saturday.
Iowa blocked nine shots and converted 21 points off the turnovers.
“We didn’t shoot well in the first half,” Mc-Caffery said. “We had to be locked in defensively to have the lead. I think our attention to detail has been good.”
Jarrod Uthoff added 11 points and six re-bounds for the Hawk-eyes (5-2). Gabriel Olaseni had 10 points and five blocks.
Shaquille Johnson had 16 points, six re-bounds and six assists to lead the Lancers (2-5), who dropped their fourth straight game. Lotanna Nwogbo added eight points and 12 re-bounds.
McCaffery’s Hawk-eyes normally try taking advantage of their size inside and getting to the foul line, but they were held to a season-low

Cyclones can’t hold early lead in loss to WVUAMES (AP) — Iowa
State had everything going its way for first 18 minutes of its home finale.
Then the offense went into a shell, West Virginia put together a couple of quick scoring drives and the Moun-taineers rolled to a 37-24 victory on Saturday, keeping the Cyclones winless in the Big 12.
Backup quarterback Skyler Howard threw three TD passes and Rushel Shell ran for 146 yards for West Virginia (7-5, 5-4), which rallied after Iowa State (2-9, 0-8) zipped to a 21-7 lead.
Some West Virginia adjustments on defense foiled the Cyclones, who managed only three points the rest of the way.
“They started really dropping people into coverage to take advan-tage of certain down and distance situations when they knew we had to throw the ball,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “We were hav-ing trouble picking out combinations and iden-tifying where to get the ball. Nice job by their defense.”
Howard was 21 of 40 for 285 yards in his first career start in place
of Clint Trickett, who missed the game with a concussion. Mario Alford added two TD catches for West Vir-ginia.
The Mountain-eers erased their early 14-point deficit by clos-ing the game on a 30-3 run. They went up 34-24 with 9:10 left on a 15-yard TD catch by Daikiel Shorts.
“They didn’t really change what they were doing too much,” defen-sive end Dale Pierson said. “They’re a good football team. They were just executing what

BLACK-EYE FRIDAY
IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa was just under a quarter away from a win that would help ease the sting of a somewhat underwhelming season.
The Hawkeyes blew it, ex-acerbating the frustration of a year that failed to live up to expectations.
Kenny Bell caught a 9-yard touchdown pass in overtime and Nebraska rallied to beat Iowa 37-34 on Friday, snap-ping a two-game losing streak.
Iowa finished 7-5 and 4-4 in the Big Ten. But the Hawk-eyes had six wins over FBS op-ponents — and none of them are currently above .500.
They wound up finishing fourth in the Big Ten West, a division many thought it could
win this season.“We lost five ballgames.
Each one is a different story,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “There’s no way to predict this stuff in August, how it’s going to go.”
Tommy Armstrong Jr. had four TD passes for the Corn-huskers (9-3, 5-3 Big Ten), who trailed by as many as 17 points before storming back in the second half.
Nebraska tied the school record for the largest road comeback.
Jordan Canzeri caught a 5-yard touchdown pass with 1:49 left in regulation to put Iowa ahead 31-28. But Drew Brown’s 20-yard field goal with 8 seconds left forced
overtime.Armstrong threw TD
passes to Taariq Allen and Bell, and De’Mornay Pierson-El’s 80-yard punt return for a touchdown put Nebraska ahead 28-24 with 12:06 left in the fourth.
Jake Rudock had 230 yards and two TD passes for Iowa. The Hawkeyes closed the reg-ular season with back-to-back home losses to rivals Wiscon-sin and Nebraska by just five points.
“All I know is we came up short last week, we came up short (Friday), against two teams I think are pretty good teams,” Ferentz said.
But Iowa seemed poised to blow out the Huskers early
in the second half, jumping ahead 24-7.
It reality, the game was just getting interesting.
Nebraska responded behind Armstrong, who brought the Huskers back within 24-21 on a 34-yard TD pass to Allen and a 32-yarder to Bell early in the fourth quarter.
Pierson-El had been stopped by Iowa punter Dillon Kidd on his previous return. But he blew past Kidd and the rest of the Hawkeyes to give Nebraska the improbable lead with three TDs in less than 5 minutes.
“Yeah, we had a plan. It didn’t exactly work the way

OVERTIME | 2B
Overtime win over Iowa not enough; Nebraska fires PeliniLINCOLN, Neb.
(AP) — The number of wins and losses didn’t get Bo Pelini fired. It was the way some of those losses happened.
Pelini was dismissed as Nebraska’s coach Sunday after a seven-year stint marked by an inability to restore the football team to na-tional prominence and too many embarrassing defeats.
Pelini extended his streak of winning at least nine games ev-
ery year with a 37-34 overtime win at Iowa on Friday, but he nev-er won a conference championship and his teams lost four games in every season he com-pleted. Pelini was 66-27 and led the Cornhusk-ers to three league title games in the Big 12 and Big Ten.
“I didn’t see enough improvement in areas that were important for us to move forward to play championship-caliber football,” ath-
letic director Shawn Eichorst said at a news conference.
“We just weren’t good enough in the games that mattered against championship-caliber opponents. It wasn’t a lack of effort by him or his staff or our wonderful players, but I think new leadership was in order.”
Associate head coach Barney Cotton will be the interim head coach for the Cornhuskers’ bowl game.
Ross Thede/Marshalltown Times-RepublicanNebraska coach Bo Pelini rallied the Cornhuskers from 17 points down in the second half against Iowa on Fri-day, but the 37-34 overtime win wasn’t enough to save his job as the university announced Sunday morning that Pelini had been fired.

Rudock answered right back though, find-ing Canzeri alone in the flat for the touchdown. Armstrong wasn’t done either, finding Brandon Reilly for a crucial 35-yard completion to set up the game-tying kick.
Marshall Koehn hit a 25-yard field goal in overtime, briefly giv-ing Iowa a 34-31 lead. Bell’s catch was re-viewed, but the call on the field was upheld.

“I’ve really felt like since 2001, just in broad, sweeping state-ments, for the most part we’re going to have an opportunity to compete for the championship. That’s our goal. We’re not going to back down from that,” Ferentz said.
“That would be ri-diculous. But I think as we all know, there are twists and turns that go on in any season.”

nine free throw at-tempts.
Iowa made nine 3-pointers, but it took a season-high 30 at-tempts — an area where the Hawkeyes have struggled the past two seasons.
Josh Oglesby scored all of his nine points on 3-point shots. Fresh-man Brady Ellingson knocked down a pair of 3s in 7 minutes of ac-tion. Starting guards Mike Gesell and An-thony Clemmons com-bined to miss all five of their 3-point tries. Peter Jok misfired on his four tries.
Still, Iowa won its third game in six days after losses to Texas and Syracuse last week in New York.
“We’re a good team,” White said. “We’ve lost to two good teams, but we’ve picked ourselves up and bounced back like good teams do.”
The Hawkeyes used a 17-2 run late in the first half to turn a two-point advantage into a 35-18 lead. Iowa hit three 3-pointers dur-ing the run, includ-ing a pair from Uthoff. Longwood had four turnovers and shot 1 of 7 during the 7 1/2-min-ute stretch.

threw for 275 yards and two TDs for Iowa State, w h i c h lost its f i f t h straight and has w o n o n l y twice at home in the past two sea-sons.
T h e Cyclones had their chances though.
Iowa State appeared poised to at least tie the game at 27 after
a spectacular catch by freshman Allen Laz-ard — who juggled the ball about a half-dozen times before corralling it — and a successful fake field goal.
But Richardson floated a pass into the end zone that was picked off by Terrell Chestnut to open the fourth quarter.
“We’ve had a few oc-casions where we got a momentum swing like that and really have a chance with a defense on their heels to push in and take advantage of it,” Rhoads said. “In the end, they played a certain coverage and dropped into it and we
weren’t able to iden-tify it. That’s the chess game football is and they played that move better.”
Alford then an-swered Lazard’s catch with a juggling 40-yard reception, setting up the TD grab by Shorts. Josh Lambert’s 43-yard field goal with 5:35 left put the Mountaineers ahead 37-24.
Iowa State played without standout E.J. Bibbs, who injured his leg in last week’s loss to Texas Tech. Bibbs entered the weekend ranked first among Power 5 tight ends with eight TD receptions.
Rhoads is uncertain
if Bibbs will play in next Saturday’s finale at No. 6 TCU. With that game looming, the Cyclones face the prospect of go-ing without a confer-ence victory for the first time since 2008.
The Cyclones cer-tainly missed him. They managed just a single field goal on 10 pos-sessions after going up 21-7.
Iowa State’s losing streak, coupled with the fact that its students were still on Thanks-giving break, made for a lackluster atmosphere at Jack Trice Stadium. But the Mountaineers and Cyclones did all they could to entertain
the fans who did show up.
Shell turned a short rush up the middle into a 54-yard TD run, giv-ing the Mountaineers a 7-0 lead just 2:10 into play. But Aaron Wimberly ran for a touchdown and caught a pass for another and Richardson found Ecby along the sideline for a 29-yard touchdown and a 21-7 lead.
“We were clicking as an offense (at that point),” tackle Jake Campos said. “Sam had time to throw, the of-fensive line was picking them up, the running backs were hitting the seams.”

“Not happy with the way Kyven came off the mat,” Iowa State coach Kevin Jackson said. “Not happy with what he did. He’s emotional. It’s his last year. I make no ex-cuses for him, but that’s not the kind of behavior we’re going to tolerate. He’s better than that.”
Iowa’s Thomas Gil-man and Cory Clark won the first two bouts. Gilman, ranked fourth at 125 pounds, beat Kyle Larson 6-1. Clark, ranked fourth at 133 pounds, had an 8-3 de-cision over Earl Hall.
At 141 pounds, Iowa’s Josh Dziewa beat Dante Rodriguez 9-2. At 149, Iowa’s Michael Kelly beat Luke Goettl 11-6. Kelly was trailing Goettl 6-5 late in the third pe-riod but reversed him straight to his back for five points and the win.
After Moreno beat Moore, Iowa’s Mike Ev-ans and Sammy Brooks won their matches. Evans beat Tanner Weatherman 7-4 at 174 pounds, and Brooks topped Lelund Weath-erspoon 9-1 at 184.
It was the third straight Cy-Hawk vic-tory for Evans. He scored takedowns in the first and second pe-riods and improved to 27-2 all-time at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

— Whitney Jennings scored 19 points, Sa-mantha Logic added 16 and No. 17 Iowa turned back repeated charges by Gonzaga for a 79-67 win at the South Point Thanksgiving Classic on Saturday night.
Melisa Dixon added 13 points, Ally Dis-terhoft added 12 and Bethany Doolittle had 10 with 12 rebounds for the Hawkeyes (6-1). Sunny Greinacher paced Gonzaga with 16 points and Shelby Cheslek had 10 and 13 rebounds.
Gonzaga, down 11

Jennings countered with two free throws 4 seconds later and then found Disterhoft with a full-court pass for a layup after a Bulldog miss for a 74-67 advan-tage with 38 seconds to go in the game.
Iowa finished 20-of-28 from the line, including 16-of-19 in the second half. The Hawkeyes made nine 3’s and forced Gonzaga into 21 turnovers.
Arkansas 77, Iowa 67LAS VEGAS (AP)
— Kelsey Brooks scored 24 points, Jes-sica Jackson added 22 and Arkansas pulled away from No. 17 Iowa 77-67 on Friday at the South Pointe Thanks-giving Shootout.
The Razorbacks (5-0) took control by pounding the boards and getting to the free throw line. Arkansas had a 51-24 rebound-ing advantage and hit 20-of-33 free throws.
Iowa (5-1), which got 23 points from Ally Disterhoft, was just 2-of-6 from the foul

Jhasmin Bowen added 14 points for Ar-kansas and had nine re-bounds. Melissa Wolff had 9 points and 10 re-bounds and Calli Berna had nine assists.
Iowa was up 27-25 at the half but the Ra-zorbacks, who shot 36 percent in the first half, warmed up to 53 per-cent and also made 10 free throws in the final 66 seconds.
UNI advances in FCS playoffs after easy win
CEDAR FALLS (AP) — David Johnson ran for 152 yards and three touchdowns, and had two receptions for 84 yards and a score, to lead Northern Iowa past Stephen F. Austin 44-10 to advance in the FCS Playoffs on Satur-day night.
Northern Iowa (9-4), which handed Il-linois State (10-1) its only loss, will play the Redbirds in the second round Saturday.
Johnson scored on the first play from scrimmage, ripping off a 73-yard run.
Three plays later, Deiondre’ Hall re-turned an interception 24 yards, giving the Panthers first-and-goal
from the 9. A 30-yard field goal by Michael Schmadeke made it 10-0 just 2 ½ minutes in and the rout was on.
Stephen F. Austin (8-5) ran just 18 of-fensive plays for 34 yards in the opening quarter with as many three-and-outs and turnovers (two each) as first downs (the second coming on a defensive pass interference).
Schmadeke added field goals of 36 and 34 yards and Johnson tacked on a 1-yard touchdown run and Northern Iowa led 23-0 at the end of the first.
UNI’s road game at Illinois State will kick off at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Astrograph
The Aries moon harmo-nizes early in the day, first with Mercury in fellow fire-sign Sagittarius and then with the Sagit-tarius sun. Passions align, missions intertwine and powers converge. Evening brings complications, so get as much accomplished as you can before sun-down.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 1). Whatever the temperature is on your birthday, this year feels like coming in from the cold. In the next seven weeks, you make a dis-ciplined effort toward improving physically, and your mind feels renewed for the effort, too. March brings the chance to recon-nect with someone from the past. April is like a romantic rebirth. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 14, 40, 1 and 30.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). This is your day to get organized, and the efforts you make in that re-gard will make everything
else easier. You won’t get to everything on your list, but you’ll hit the top three, so prioritize carefully.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Because you care deeply for a certain someone and because your imagination is get-ting an extra dose of star power, you’ll express your feelings in eloquent and memorable ways.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Much good comes of your efforts to try to un-derstand how things work and why people do what they do. Later you’ll be sharing what you learned, so take notes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Problems may arise from having too many leaders, tools or methods. Pick what works best, and follow or use only that. You will be empowered by simplicity.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Mischievous ideas will cross your mind. Fooling people can be a
fun and affectionate way to give attention, though much will depend on the spirit and cleverness of the trick.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Think of the action you take today as a move you make in a chess game against fate. Strategize first because it’s not all about this turn. Think several plays ahead.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). How are you to draw a sufficient conclu-sion from insufficient evidence? In your sincere desire to be fair to all, you may decide that it’s best not to express a definitive answer.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Appearances may lie, but you’re still an excel-lent judge of character, as people show you exactly who they are and where they are coming from through their speech.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Beyond the classrooms of wrong and right, there is a
playground where the stu-dents work it all out during the recesses of life. Today you’ll hit some gray area near the swing set.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What can’t be accom-plished via force can come about through a creative approach. An environment that encourages and sup-ports personal expression will be key.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Halfway between two different ideas, you are unlikely to find favor with either side. Ask yourself: In order to do what I want to do, is their approval re-ally necessary?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Beware those who use their remarks to cut people down, even if those remarks are only slightly snarky. With enough strokes, even the smallest ax can cut down a mighty timber.
