Stories of those
who died during
San Bernardino
mass shooting

Most of the 14 people killed at a holiday banquet in San
Bernardino County, Calif., worked in the same county public health department as the man who showed up with his
wife and sprayed the hall with gunfire.
An official list of the dead was released Thursday, and
families, friends and co-workers came forward to share
some of their stories:
Bennetta Betbadal, 46
She was born in Iran in 1969 and came to the United
States at age 18 to escape the persecution of Christians
after the Iranian Revolution, according to a family statement on a fundraising account set up in her name.
Her cousin, Melani Betbadal, referred reporters to the
statement and declined further comment.
She first settled in New York City but eventually moved
to Rialto, Calif. She and her husband, a police officer, were
married in 1997 and have three children ages 10, 12 and 15.
Betbadal graduated from California State Polytechnic
University in Pomona with a degree in chemistry and took
a job as a health inspector with San Bernardino County.
Her husband, Arlen Verdehyou, told The Daily Breeze he

her he had withdrawn money from the bank and would do

rated the family’s Christmas tree.
She was planning to give a presentation at the annual
holiday meeting Wednesday and was excited about it, the
family said.

Austin Schwartz, who has been interim director of the Des Moines County Historical Society
nearly two months now, is busy organizing one
of the organization’s most popular activities —
the holiday-themed Living Legacy Dinner.
“It was so popular last year, we decided to do
two nights this year,” Schwartz said.
The first Christmas dinner, scheduled tonight,
has been sold out for days. But there still are
seats available for the second dinner, scheduled
for 6 p.m. Dec. 12 at the Phelps House. Doors
open at 5:30 p.m.
“We’re doing a twist on our classic Christmas
theme, and this year, our theme is early hotels of
downtown Burlington,” Schwartz said.
That theme will be represented in nearly
every corner of the historic Phelps House
museum, with each room corresponding to a
classic hotel. That includes the Harris Hotel,
located in the spot the Burlington Public Library
staff uses for parking, the Union Hotel, and of
course, the Hotel Burlington, which now is The
Burlington Apartments.
Tickets are limited and can be purchased for
$30 by calling the Des Moines County Heritage
Center at (319) 752-7449.
“Each place setting has a little historical fact
about the hotel,” Schwartz said.
Schwartz became interim director of the
DMCHS after previous director Angela Beenken
left in early October to take a job in Wyoming.
The historical society’s board of directors plans
to hire a long-term replacement for Beenken
sometime next year, and Schwartz is doing what
he can to keep the operation running smoothly
until then.

ing the museum (the Des Moines County Heritage Center) and making this the museum
for southeast Iowa. To represent Des Moines
County and get it out there,” he said.
Schwartz, 33, certainly has the chops for
his new job. An adjunct professor of history at
Southeastern Community College, Schwartz
joined the DMCHS board of directors two years,
and has had a lot of input in the military galleries
at the Heritage Center.
“I’m a military historian by trade, and I wanted
to get involved and help. I definitely wanted to
emphasize the World War I gallery,” he said.
Although World War I was the most-writtenabout war at the time, it tends to take a backseat
in American history when put against the Civil
War and World War II. There’s a good reason for
that.
“World War I had such small U.S. involvement,
with 4.2 million troops called up for that war,”
Schwartz said. “Only 2 million actually served in
France.”
A Burlington native who graduated from West
Burlington High School, Schwartz always had a
passion for military history. His real interests lie
not in the actual fighting, but the circumstances
and impact war made on everyday people.
When he graduated from Western Illinois University, Schwartz had no doubt about the field he
wanted to pursue.

Historic building’s owner contends city forcing him to sell
By KATHLEEN SLOAN
ksloan@thehawkeye.com
Burlington’s unique and
extensive stock of historic
buildings are major assets, but
they’re also potential burdens,
as the recent placarding of 300
Washington St. illustrates.
Built in 1883 by Chicago
architect Stephen Shipman, the
building added a fourth floor
designed by renowned local
architect George Washburn in
1907. The National Historic Register recognized the Burlington
Historic Downtown Commercial District about a year
ago, and 300 Washington St. is
among the nearly 115 buildings
in the district.
Under current local law,
the city can’t force owners to
maintain vacant buildings and
only has laws that give it authority when they are dilapidated
enough to be determined dan-

gerous and unsafe.
If the city wants to retain
the building, it must take title
because local law gives the
owner the option of tearing
the building down or fixing it,
and tear-down is usually the
cheaper option.
Therefore, the city finds
itself in a similar situation as
presented by Apollo School,
of which it recently took title.
Although the owner of Apollo
School can’t be found, and the
owner of 300 Washington St.
is local, with attachable and
valuable city properties, the city
must take title to ensure preservation of the building, the cost
falling on the taxpayer, instead
of the owner.
Burlington Building Inspector Larry Caston said Wednesday, “That’s exactly right. We
need to change the law.”
Caston has been watching
the building closely because he

wants it saved. He’s known for
three years the roof is leaking,
dooming it to demolition if it
isn’t fixed soon.
He was allowed inside when
the building was between owners in 2012, but he can’t use that
knowledge in a formal citation,
he said, and he doesn’t have
legal access to the interior of
the building without “probable
cause,” such as vagrants breaking in or broken windows.
The city has no laws that
would enable Caston to inspect
the interior of vacant buildings
regularly, whether they are
commercial, industrial or residential, he said.
City law does cover regular
inspections of rental properties,
and complaints from renters
also give inspectors the right to
enter their apartment, Caston
said.

21-year-old woman
killed in eastern
Iowa crash
Associated Press
DUNKERTON — Authorities
said a 21-year-old woman was
killed Wednesday in a two-vehicle crash in eastern Iowa.
Alexis J. Behrends of Dunkerton died around 5:30 a.m.
Authorities said the roads
were almost entirely covered
by ice when the crash occurred.
Behrends was driving on a
county road west of Dunkerton
when her vehicle crossed the
centerline and collided with a
vehicle driven by 48-year-old
Darlene Hammond of Hudson.
Deputies said Behrends died
at the scene. Hammond was not
injured.
Davenport driver gets
up to 25 years for
vehicular homicide
DAVENPORT — A Davenport
man has been sentenced to up to
25 years in prison for a drunken
driving crash that killed a motorcyclist last year.
Sixty-two-year-old Robert M.
Aguirre of Davenport apologized
Wednesday to the family of Teangelo Garrard.
A Scott County jury found Aguirre guilty in October of homicide
by vehicle and operating while
intoxicated. According to police,
Aguirre was driving in Davenport
Sept. 20, 2014, when he turned left
into Garrard’s path.
The 24-year-old Garrard of
Rock Island, Ill., died of multiple
blunt force injuries. Authorities
said he was wearing a helmet.
Authorities said Aguirre’s
blood alcohol content was almost
three times the legal limit to drive.
City gets $125K from
embezzler auction
DIXON, Ill. — A third auction
of former Dixon comptroller
Rita Crundwell’s belongings
has pushed the total amount
of money recovered from her
embezzlement to $125,000.
Crundwell is serving 20 years
in a federal prison for stealing
nearly $54 million from the city
during the two decades while
she was its bookkeeper. She
used the money to support a
lavish lifestyle and a nationally
renowned horse-breeding operation. Crundwell was arrested in
2012 and pleaded guilty to wire
fraud.
The latest auction wrapped
up Tuesday. The auctions have
included items from Crundwell’s
trophy and art collections and
horse show memorabilia.
The city also reached a $40
million settlement with its former auditors and bank and
recouped $30 million of that
after attorney’s fees.

The Iowa Board of Regents hiked tuition Wednesday for resident students at the University of Iowa, above, as well as tuition for
international students at Iowa State University.
Regents hike tuition at UI, ISU
Resident students at UI,
international students at
ISU will pay more.
Associated Press
IOWA CITY — Regents for
Iowa’s public universities have
agreed to increase undergraduate tuition for resident students
at the University of Iowa and keep
tuition the same at two other universities.
Regents approved Wednesday
a 3 percent tuition increase at the
University of Iowa. Undergradu-
ate tuition for resident students at
the University of Northern Iowa
and Iowa State University will
remain at the spring 2016 level for
the 2016-17 school year.
Concern about student debt
levels at Iowa’s three public universities led regents to freeze resident undergraduate tuition for the
past two and a half years. It also
led to a system-wide efficiency
review.
The board had planned on
freezing tuition for all three
universities during the 2015-16
year, but the state Legislature
approved a budget that included
funding increases that were much
lower than what the regents had
requested.
Tuition levels are dependent
on legislative and gubernatorial
approval of the regents’ funding
request. The board agreed to
request a 4 percent increase for
general university operating support during its September meeting.
Regents President Bruce Rastetter said he would recommend
a tuition increase review if the
board does not get additional
funds.
The board also approved a $500
tuition increase for international
students at Iowa State University. School officials said the university no longer can absorb the
additional costs that come with
educating 4,041 international students from 116 countries.
The university’s student government asked the board earlier
this week to cut the proposed tuition increase by at least half and
to ensure that the money would
be used directly to benefit international students.
Ill. sues inmates to recoup incarceration cost
Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois Department of Corrections
is bringing a small but increasing number of lawsuits against
inmates to recoup the cost of
their imprisonment with an
intention to help fund operations.
Some lawsuits target inmates
serving lengthy prison terms.
Several cases are brought
against less serious offenders
who earned or come into sums
of money through means such
as an inheritance, trust fund or
settlement.
Critics of the department’s
lawsuits said the practice makes
it more difficult for paroled
inmates to support themselves,
undermining department goals
of rehabilitating prisoners and
reducing recidivism.
“If you don’t have a way to
support yourself, you go to the
underground economy. That’s
criminal, and you go back to
prison,” said Alan Mills, executive director of Chicago-based
Uptown People’s Law Center,
which provides inmates with
legal assistance. “That’s horrible
public policy.”

Illinois school, feds disagree
about transgender settlement
By CARLA K. JOHNSON
Associated Press
CHICAGO — Hours after a
suburban Chicago school district
approved a settlement with the U.S.
Department of Education allowing
a transgender student to use a girls’
locker room, district and federal
officials were at odds over what the
agreement meant.
Township High School District
211 superintendent Daniel Cates
said Thursday after the school
board’s vote the deal applies solely
to one transgender student, hinges
on her using privacy curtains in the
locker room and does not require a
districtwide policy.
“That’s a mischaracterization,”
DOE assistant secretary for civil
rights Catherine Lhamon told the
Associated Press Thursday.
The deal instead applies to all of
the district’s students, not just to the
student who filed the complaint,
Lhamon said. And it requires the
district to revise an annual notice
of nondiscrimination to say it does
not discriminate on the basis of
sex in its educational programs or
activities, she said.
The federal government said the
agreement allows a transgender
student to use a girls’ locker room
and does not require her to use a
privacy curtain, although the student has said she will do so.
Cates disagreed, telling the AP
in an email Thursday the “student’s
access to the locker room is contingent on her agreement to change in
private changing stations.”
The school board vote came
after federal officials ruled last
month the district violated federal
law by not permitting the student,
who was born male and identifies
as female, full access to the locker
room.
The student had filed a federal
complaint against the district with
assistance from the American Civil
Liberties Union.
The ACLU of Illinois initially said
the settlement the school board
approved fell short if it applied only
to accommodations for one transgender student. After hearing the
federal response Thursday, ACLU
spokesman Edwin Yohnka said
“we are pleased” the district “must
provide a safe and respectful environment for all students, including those who are transgender”
but “disappointed in the District’s
efforts to misrepresent the nature
of the agreement.”
The district had 30 days to
change its policy following the
DOE’s Nov. 2 finding or risk losing
millions of dollars in funding.
The transgender student has
not been identified and wants to
remain anonymous. She has been
living as a girl since middle school,
has changed her legal name,
obtained a passport as a female,
received a diagnosis of gender
dysphoria and is taking female
hormones, according to the DOE’s
summary of its investigation.
Federal officials plan to monitor
the district for compliance with
the agreement and for any gender-based discrimination through
at least June 30, 2017, Lhamon said.
“If they have not fulfilled the
terms of the agreement, we will not
go away,” Lhamon said.

expenses incurred by their incarceration.”
The law allowing for the lawsuits dates to 1982. The number
of lawsuits rose from two each in
2012 and 2013 to 11 in the first 10
months of 2015.
Money has been recovered
from 11 of 31 prisoners or parolees sued since 2010, with the
state getting $512,219 since then,
with 81 percent of that coming
from two inmates.
“We don’t enter the case saying
we’re bound and determined to
take all of this person’s money,”
said Ann Spillane, chief of staff
for Attorney General Lisa Madigan.
Madigan said in a statement
the lawsuits bring up “moral”
questions.
“The Legislature should revisit
whether this law is appropriate,”
Madigan said. “These recoveries
may raise roadblocks to former
inmates trying to lead successful
lives out of prison.”

Governments work on divvying cost of runway
Des Moines County,
Burlington, West
Burlington and the
airport authority
weighed five options.
By KATHLEEN SLOAN
ksloan@thehawkeye.com
Three local governments met
Wednesday evening to discuss
how much each should pay
toward the nearly $1 million
local match needed to replace
the Southeast Iowa Regional Airport main runway.
It was a work session, and no
formal action was taken.
Mary Beaird, Southeast Iowa
Regional Airport Authority executive director, and her five-person board met with officials
from Des Moines County, Burlington and West Burlington.
Several of the officials present
praised Beaird and the board for
informing them two years ago of
the upcoming expense.
In summer 2019, Beaird said,
about $465,000 will be needed,
and the following summer about
$445,000, if actual bids match the
two-year-old estimate.
SEIRAA board member
Dwight Mulch pointed out the
airport used a highly reputable
engineering firm that figured
future costs into the $9.5 million
estimate.
The Federal Aviation Administration will pay 90 percent of the
cost, and the local governments
will pay 10 percent, but Beaird
is asking for $906,000 from the
three entities, the balance to be
made up from the nearly $80,000
a year it collects from passenger
facility charges.
The FAA measures the airport’s runway, taxiways and
aprons every three years, Beaird
said, using a pavement condition
index, with 100 being the best.
The main runway is “in the 50s”
she said, and each three years,
it declines about 8 to 12 percent.
The FAA requires replacement at 50 percent, she said. The
airport was allowed to rehabilitate the runway in 2005 with an
overlay, but the FAA noted the
“subsurface was not good then,”
Beaird said.
Beaird presented five different
ways of dividing the cost.

Spectator in Waterloo trial
jailed after lobbying juror
Associated Press
WATERLOO — A mistrial has
been declared in a case of three
men accused of robbing a pharmacy in February after authorities said a spectator made a comment to a juror in a courthouse
hallway.
Judge George Stigler ordered
the mistrial Wednesday after
finding the 23-year-old spectator
in contempt of court and sending
him to jail for 180 days.
The man allegedly approached
a juror during a break and told
her to find the defendants not
guilty.
Sheriff’s deputies brought the
man into the courtroom after Stigler learned about the encounter.
The man declined to comment
and asked for an attorney.
Stigler said the defendants
had nothing to do with the comment.
The case will be set for a
retrial.

Lee Erlandsen, of Alexandria, Mo., checks out improvements to the Keokuk Union Depot during an Oct. 31 tour.
Saturday show will benefit Keokuk depot
By WILLIAM SMITH
wsmith@thehawkeye.com
KEOKUK — Take one eclectic Celtic band, throw in a good
cause and you have the recipe for
a pre-holiday concert that surely
will rock the walls off the Keokuk
Union Depot.
The highly acclaimed Irish
duo Switchback will perform at
7:30 p.m. Saturday at the depot,
and every dollar they raise will
be used to restore the depot to its
former glory.
“We don’t have a goal for how
much we want to raise, but we
love having Switchback here,”
said Debbie Marion, president of
the Keokuk Union Depot Commission.
The first few steps in the process of restoring the roof atop the
124-year-old structure finally are
complete, helping to erase modifications made over the years that
took away from the depot’s historical significance.
The chimney already has been
raised several feet to match the
original design of the building,
and restoration of the eaves,
soffits, decorative brackets and
copper gutters will continue next
year.
“There were 12-by-12 marble
tiles that were the original floor,
and in the 1940s, they did a renovation, and they poured about an
inch-and-a-half of concrete on top
of it. That all has to come up. We’re
going down to the original tile,”
said Keokuk Union Depot Commission volunteer Lee Erlandsen.
The last passenger train ran
through the depot in 1967, and the
city acquired the building in 2011
from Pioneer Railcorp for $1.
“It fell into disrepair between
1967 and 2011, which is when we
took it over,” Erlandsen said.
Since then, the building has
been used as a rental venue, hosting everything from concerts to
weddings.
Raising the chimney to its original height was the first step in a
$1 million roof restoration project.
The $113,200 cost of the current
construction was funded partially
by a $56,000 grant from the Historical Resource Development
Program, matched by $52,000
from community donations and
fundraisers.
The rest of the roof will be
restored to its original glory
(including clay tiles) with the help
of a $333,000 challenge grant from
the Jeffris Family Foundation in
Janesville, Wis.
To receive the grant, the Union
Depot Foundation must raise
twice the amount — $667,000.
To date, more than $450,000
has been raised.
“We are hoping to raise all the
money by July 1 (2016), which will
be the building’s 125th anniversary,” said Marion.
Work will resume in the spring
and could be finished by fall.
Switchback’s Brian FitzGerald
and Martin McCormack are no
strangers to Keokuk, and have
performed at the Grand Theatre
and Rand Park Pavilion.
They also have taken part in
the Artists in the Schools program
in Keokuk.
Doors for the concert will open
at 6:45 p.m., and admission is $15
at the door.

Mourners hold candles during a vigil at San Manuel Stadium, Thursday in San Bernardino, Calif.,
for multiple victims of a shooting that took place at a holiday banquet Wednesday. A heavily
armed man and woman opened fire killing 14 people and seriously wounding others in a precision
assault, authorities said. Hours later, they died in a shootout with police.

years ago,” the family said in the
statement.
Sierra Clayborn, 27
Her friends say she stood out
as someone who always had an
encouraging word.
Timothy J. Lee remembers
meeting Clayborn in a hip-hop
class at the University of California, Riverside. She was active
and outgoing, praising classmates when they mastered a
routine.
“She always had something
encouraging to say,” Lee said.
After graduating in 2010, Clayborn worked jobs in retail and at
a bank before landing a position
at the San Bernardino County
Department of Public Health.
Like a number of other victims,
she inspected restaurants.
Matthew Peairs, 27, a manager
at Red Baron Pizza in Big Bear
Lake, Calif., said Clayborn visited the restaurant a day before
the shooting to complete an
inspection.
“She was one of the nicest
health inspectors that we’ve
ever had,” he said. “She talked
to us like normal people, not just
doing her job.”
He said they discussed their
holiday plans, and she mentioned she was going to the
department’s Christmas party
Wednesday.
“She was stoked about the
party,” Peairs said.
Word spread Wednesday
among Clayborn’s friends she
was missing. FBI agents later
visited her family’s house to tell
them she was killed in the attack.

However, Stephens said
Thalasinos’ grieving wife told
her later Thursday to tell the
media she now “believes her husband was martyred for his faith
and beliefs.” It wasn’t immediately clear why Jennifer Thalasinos came to that conclusion.
Nicholas and Jennifer Thalasinos recently had renewed
their marriage vows, and they
appeared together frequently on
his Facebook page.
“He was a wonderful person,” said Joey Shimoni, another
friend. “A great husband and just

He ran an independently
owned coffee shop inside the

the county health workers were
using a hall for their holiday

included people with developmental disabilities, which can
include epilepsy, autism and
intellectual disabilities.
Eileen Richey, the executive
director of the Association of
Regional Center Agencies, said
his death “fills us with sorrow,

Damian Meins, 58
He was passionate about serving his community, a message he
took from the priests at his Catholic high school in Riverside,
Calif., and carried throughout
his life.
Meins never strayed far from
his church or its teachings, said
Walter Hackett, who met Meins
some 40 years ago in high school.
“Service to others, helping
others. He very much took that
to heart,” Hackett said.
Hackett called his friend “a
good, good guy.
“Funny and smart and tall. A
real quick smile, very friendly
and outgoing,” he said. “It’s a real
hard hit for all of us who knew
him.”
Meins married his high school
sweetheart, now a Catholic
school principal, and they raised
two daughters, one a teacher.
Meins was fondly remembered
as the guy who dressed up
as Santa for school pictures,
according to a parent’s social
media posting Thursday.
Meins’ Facebook page, where
he can be seen smiling with his
family in front of the Golden
Gate Bridge in San Francisco,
said he studied business administration at the University of Redlands starting in 1991. In 1979, he
graduated from UC Riverside. He
was also retired from the Riverside County after working there
for 28 years.
In addition to working in the
public health department in
San Bernardino, Meins was an
extended care coordinator at St.
Catherine of Alexandria School
in Riverside, where he also
helped kids create Christmas art
projects and religious murals,
Hackett said.
Meins received a community
award for his work in Riverside,
which was based on “compassion, courage, forgiveness, generosity, humility, inclusiveness,
integrity, kindness, respect and
service.”
A living Rosary for the Meins
family was held Thursday.
Education
“As someone who grew up
in poverty,” the Iowa congressman said, “I know firsthand how
important education is for kids to
get ahead in life.”
A former member of the House
Education and Workforce Committee, Loebsack said he has prioritized education legislation on
his agenda, particularly for rural
school districts.
A statement released Wednesday by Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos,
D-17th District, called ESSA “an
important step toward replacing
the broken No Child Left Behind
Act.”
“Every child deserves the
opportunity to reach their full
potential, that’s why I was proud
to join a bipartisan coalition of
Tysland said he held preliminary discussions with Haeftner
and DPI before the Monday city
council meeting.
Concerning help from the city,
Tysland said Van Haeftner could
have applied for the 10-year tax
abatement program, which forgives property taxes resulting
from improvements to the property.
City Manager Jim Ferneau said
Wednesday he hasn’t focused
much on the preservation of historical buildings.
“There has not been a tremendous amount of analysis on this.
The first year and a half, what we
could do, from a financial perspective, were limited,” Ferneau said,
and cutting costs was the focus.
“But it’s not just downtown
vacant buildings. There have been
complaints about other properties,” Ferneau said.
“The city council has to decide
what it is willing to do on a
wholesale basis. There is a trade
off between individual property
rights and the community’s view
as a whole,” Ferneau said. “Whatever we do, we have to do equitably and across the board.”
City Planner Charlie Nichols
recently proposed to the planning
commission, during its yearly
comprehensive plan review, a
vacant building law for commercial and industrial buildings be
considered.
Dubuque has such a law. Vacant
building owners pay a fee, about
$100 a year, which funds a yearly
inspection. This forces owners to
keep their buildings up and punishes dilapidation.
Their city planner, Guy Hemenway, said Dubuque rarely takes
title to properties under the 657A
statute, instead putting resources
into up-front enforcement that
puts the cost on owners to maintain their buildings.
Ferneau said Nichols has
arranged for the city council and
planning commission to meet
soon “to discuss such philosophical issues.”
City Councilwoman Becky
Anderson, who has purchased
and preserved several historic
buildings, said Wednesday, “I
would hope we could move our
policy along more in the direction
Dubuque has taken.”
leaders who came together to help
our students succeed,” Bustos said
in the statement.
Bustos, whose district includes
Henderson County, described
NCLB as “the one-size-fits-all federal accountability system” that
should be replaced with new legislation giving states more autonomy to address individual needs.
The Every Student Succeeds
Act gives states and school districts the option to eliminate testing requirements that are proven
unnecessary and do not contribute to student learning.
The bill includes provisions
to provide adequate and flexible
funding to rural schools and maintains authorization of the Small,
Rural School Achievement program and the Rural and Low-Income School program. It also provides federal funding for states to
improve coordination, quality and
access to early childhood education programs like preschool.
Ahead of the U.S. Senate vote,
Angela Zirkelbach, press secretary for Iowa’s Joni Ernst, told The
Hawk Eye Ernst still is reviewing
the legislation but sees the bill as a
positive step to address education
concerns across the country.
“As a mother and a grandmother, Senator Ernst firmly
believes education is best handled at the local level, by Iowans,
and not Washington bureaucrats,”
Zirkelback said. “Senator Ernst
believes this legislation addresses
the need to roll back many failed
policies established under No
Child Left Behind and affords
greater flexibility for individual
school systems to design and
implement their education and
accountability standards as they
see fit.”

Shooting
The only law that applies to
vacant buildings is city code Chapter 160, Caston said, and without
access, he was limited to citing
exterior problems for 300 Washington St.
Not until mid-October did he
see roof tiles fallen into the alley
and an electrical wire hanging
outside the building. Caston placarded the building and sent a registered citation letter to the owner,
Karel Van Haeften, Oct. 16.
Chapter 160 gives the owner 30
days to present a plan for fixing the
building and another 30 days after
that to complete repairs or demolish the building, Caston said.
“But we want to save the building,” Caston said, so taking Chapter 160 to its logical conclusion
would likely force the owner to
tear the building down, as the least
expensive option.
To prevent this from happening,
the city does have the authority
to take title to the building under
state law 657A, Caston said.
The city must present evidence
to a district court judge and obtain
an order the building is dangerous
and abandoned and the city may
take title. In cases where the city
wants to save the building, Caston
said, the Chapter 160 violations
and documentation serve as evidence for a 657A proceeding.
State law 657A was expanded
last legislative session to include
not just residential properties, but
also commercial and industrial
abandoned properties, he said.
“The city is forcing me to sell it,”
Van Haeften said Wednesday. “It’s
not what I want or really what they
want. But they started procedures
preliminary to taking it by eminent domain.”
The Burlington City Council
discussed the matter during the
Monday meeting. City Development and Parks Director Eric Tysland said Van Haeften is willing to
sell the building to the city for $1 to
avoid the 657A process.
Tysland told the city council it
could pursue Chapter 160 procedures further, assessing charges
to Van Haeften’s other city properties’ tax bills.
He did not explain playing hard-
ball with Van Haeften might result
in his choosing to demolish the
building, and the city council did
not discuss this option on Monday.
Tysland estimated it would cost
about $25,000 to fix the roof and
roof beam.
In a Wednesday interview, he
said the estimate is based on a
Klingner and Associates engineer’s verbal estimate, made in
2012. The engineer took hundreds
of photos and was tasked with
examining the building when it
was between owners, Tysland
said.
If the city buys the building for
$1, Tysland told the city council
there is money in the demolition
and redevelopment fund, which
could go toward the $25,000 roof
repair.
But it would be better for
Downtown Partners, Inc. to own
the building, Tysland suggested,
because it qualifies for grants and
federal and state historic tax credits. DPI is the local Main Street
organization and its mission is
to promote the renovation and
re-purposing of historic buildings.
DPI executive director Steve
Frevert said his board will make
a decision by Dec. 14 on the building.
Van Haeftner said he would
“possibly” sell the building to
DPI for $1 instead of the city on
Wednesday. “But no one has
approached me with an offer.”
“I’ve gotten no help from the
city or Frevert. I don’t see why
they couldn’t have given me that
money,” Van Haeftner said.
“I’ve spent quite a bit to assess
options for developing the building. As a hotel, I learned it is not
large enough to be profitable,” Van
Haeftner said. “Now that the Tama
building is to be apartments, I
don’t think it can be apartments.
It could be a nice house for somebody.”
“I’ve got other projects demanding my attention. I’m not willing
to put money into stabilizing the
building,” Van Haeftner said.
When told the city could force
him to fix the building or demolish
it, Van Haeftner said, “But that’s
not the agreement I’ve worked out
with the city.”
Haeftner said Tysland negotiated the agreement, though it’s not
yet approved by the city council.

By NIELS LESNIEWSKI
CQ-Roll Call
WASHINGTON — Senate Minority
Leader Harry Reid lashed out at the
National Rifle Association Thursday as he served
notice Democrats
would push gun
violence amendments during the
Senate
vote-arama on a budget
bill.
“Now,
there
was a time in my
legislative career
that I tried to
Reid
work with the
National
Rifle
Association, but the NRA today is a
far cry from (the) sportsmen’s organization that I once supported,” the
Nevada Democrat said.
“The NRA once called mandatory
background checks ‘reasonable,’ he
continued. “That’s what they said. I’m
not making this up.”
Reid used to have warm relations
with the NRA, and during his 2010
re-election campaign, he championed a new shooting range, which he
told reporters in attendance was “the
greatest gun park in the world.”
The NRA’s executive vice president,
Wayne LaPierre, even said at the time
he was “proud to stand shoulder to
shoulder with Sen. Reid in our fight to
protect the Second Amendment.”
But life has changed.
Reid said on the Senate floor the
NRA and its leadership has “transformed into a quasi-militant wing of
the Republican Party.
They’re being pushed more and
more into the camp of guns for everybody any time they want ’em.”
Reid also commented on the emergence of a conservative firearms
group known as the Gun Owners of
America.
The move to get the votes on gun
policy amendments comes the day
after a mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif.
Syed Rizwan Farook, a 28-year-old
county restaurant inspector, and his
wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, slaughtered
14 people and seriously wounded
more than a dozen others in a precision attack Wednesday at a social service center for the disabled.
After escaping, they were gunned
down in an SUV about four hours
later and a few miles away in a furious
shootout with police.
President Barack Obama said
Thursday a motive for the shooting
was not yet clear, though it may have
been terrorism.
It was the nation’s deadliest mass
shooting since the Newtown, Conn.,
school tragedy three years ago that
left 26 children and adults dead.
Democrats and Obama also
declared they would push sweepinggun control regulations after that
incident at Sandy Hook Elementary
School, but they didn’t succed in getting such legislation past a Republican-controlled House.
Reid steered clear of many specifics about the amendment proposals,
though he did highlight a measure he
filed Wednesday on which CQ Roll
Call has reported.
“People on this side of the aisle are
focused on doing something to stop
this gun violence, and we’re going to
force amendments to that end today,”
Reid said.
“Not many, but a few. A few that
try to do something, anything. Are
we going to vote on expanded background checks? Shouldn’t we do that,
at least?
“We’re going to vote to prevent criminals convicted of harassing women at
health clinics from buying a gun, owning a gun,” he said. “Senators will have
to decide where they stand on these
amendments.”
WASHINGTON — New Speaker
Paul Ryan pledged Thursday the
House finally will come up with a
replacement to President Barack
Obama’s health care law and attempt
to overhaul the tax code, as he committed the GOP to a “bold, pro-growth
agenda” for 2016 and beyond.
“Our No. 1 goal for the next year is
to put together a complete alternative
to the left’s agenda,” the Wisconsin
Republican said at the Library of Congress in what aides billed as his first
major address as speaker. “We will not
be cowed. We are not here to smooth
things over. We are here to shake
things up.”
Although short on new ideas and
lacking specifics, Ryan’s speech
made clear he has no desire to hang
back and play a supporting role to the
GOP’s presidential nominee next year.
Ryan himself was the party’s vice
presidential nominee in 2012.
And the former House Budget
Committee chairman who’s proposed
slashing Medicaid and converting
Medicare into a voucher-like program
also suggested he is more interested
in promulgating a GOP vision than in
finding common ground with Obama.
“Even if he won’t sign them into law,
we will put out specific proposals and
give the people a real choice,” Ryan
said.
Ryan replaced former Speaker John
Boehner of Ohio just over a month ago
after Boehner resigned under pressure from House conservatives.
Initially reluctant to take on the job
of speaker, Ryan agreed to do so after
it became clear he was the only House
Republican with widespread support
from his colleagues.
Thus far, Ryan still seems to be
enjoying a honeymoon, but that will
be tested by a Dec. 11 deadline to pass
a package of spending bills or face a
partial government shutdown.

it and make a fresh start next year,
Salmon said.
And even as he negotiated with
Democrats over the spending legislation, Ryan launched broadsides
against Obama.
“I don’t think all that many people
are walking away from this presidency
thinking, ‘That went well,’ ” Ryan said.
“We still have enormous problems.
But now the country is divided. And
the federal government has grown
arrogant, condescending and outright
paternalistic.”
Republicans have promised but
failed to coalesce around a replacement to “Obamacare” since it became
law more than five years ago. Instead,
they’ve voted dozens of times to
replace it in part or in full, an effort
that happened again Thursday in the
Senate.
Ryan committed once again to
finally coming up with a GOP alternative.
“We think this problem is so urgent
that, next year, we are going to unveil
a plan to replace every word of
Obamacare,” he said.
On taxes, Ryan called for eliminating loopholes and collapsing down to
two or three rates.
“The only way to fix our broken tax
code is to simplify, simplify, simplify,”
he said.
Thursday’s speech was laced with
familiar conservative, free-market
solutions to the nation’s ills that Ryan
has advocated for during his 17-year
career in Congress. His most significant proposal has been a non-binding
balanced budget outline that has been
a mainstay for the GOP majority for its
five years atop the House.
But there has been little follow-up
in the form of binding legislation.
His sweeping promises on Medicare
have never been drafted — much less
brought to a vote — and he made no
visible progress on reforming the
loophole-cluttered tax code during his
10 months as chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.
More officers charged with murder, manslaughter
As videos shift balance
of power, more
US police charged
with murder or
manslaughter in 2015.
By DON BABWIN
Associated Press
CHICAGO — The number
of U.S. police officers charged
with murder or manslaughter for on-duty shootings has
tripled this year — a sharp
increase at least one expert
said could be the result of
more video evidence.
In the past, the annual
average was fewer than five
officers charged. In the final
weeks of 2015, that number
has climbed to 15, with 10 of
the cases involving video.
“If you take the cases with
the video away, you are left
with what we would expect to
see over the past 10 years —
about five cases,” said Philip
Stinson, the Bowling Green
State University criminologist
who compiled the statistics
from across the nation.
“You have to wonder if there
would have been charges if
there wasn’t video evidence,”
he continued.
The importance of video
was highlighted last week
with the release of footage
showing a Chicago officer
fatally shooting a teenager 16
times.
The officer said he feared
for his life from the teen, who
was suspected of damaging
cars using a small knife. He
also had a powerful hallucinogen in his bloodstream.
“This had all the trappings
of a life-threatening situation
for a law-enforcement officer
— PCP-laced juvenile who
had been wreaking havoc on
cars with a knife,” said Joseph
Tacopina, a prominent New
York defense attorney and
former prosecutor who has
represented several police
officers. “Except you have the
video that shows a straightout execution.”
Rich Hein/Chicago Sun-Times
Clergy, labor leaders and supporters gather at the Cook County Administration Building
Thursday in Chicago to demand the resignation of Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez
before delivering 32,000 petition signatures calling for her to quit. The long wait to file
charges against a white Chicago police officer who fatally shot a black teenager has provoked
sharp criticism of the city’s top prosecutor.
When he was charged
with first-degree murder last
week, officer Jason Van Dyke
became the 15th officer in the
country to face such charges
in 2015.
Over the last decade,
law-enforcement
agencies
have recorded about 1,000
fatal shootings by on-duty
police.
An average of fewer than
five each year resulted in murder or manslaughter charges
against officers, Stinson
found.
The cases often are difficult to prove.
Of the 47 officers charged
from the beginning of 2005
through the end of last year,
about 23 percent were convicted, Stinson found.
“For forever, police have
owned the narrative of what
happened
between
any
encounter between a police
officer and a civilian,” said
David A. Harris, a University
of Pittsburgh law professor
who has written extensively
on police misconduct.
“What video does is it takes
that power of the narrative
away from the police to some
extent,” he said. “And that
shift in power of control over
the narrative is incredibly significant.”
In case after case, that is
exactly what has happened
this year.
Stinson said Van Dyke
would “never, ever” have been
charged without the video.
He said the same is true
for Ray Tensing, the white
University of Cincinnati
police officer who is charged
with murder and involuntary
manslaughter in the July 19
death of Samuel DuBose, a
black motorist whom Tensing shot to death after pulling
him over for a missing front
license plate.
Tensing’s attorney said
the officer feared he would
be dragged under the car as
Dubose tried to drive away.
But, Stinson said, the video
from the officer’s body camera shows his explanation
“doesn’t add up.”
Other cases around the
country also reveal just how
important the video is.
In Marksville, La., for example, two deputy city marshals
were charged with second-degree murder after authorities
reviewed video from one of
the officers’ body cameras,
which showed a man with his
hands in the air inside a vehicle when the marshals opened
fire.
The man was wounded
severely, and his 6-year-old
autistic son killed.
Just how dramatically a
video can shift the balance of
power was apparent in North
Charleston, S.C., when officer
Michael Slager shot and killed
Walter Scott, an unarmed
black man as he ran away
after a traffic stop.
Slager told investigators
Scott had tried to grab his gun
and Taser.
But after a video from a
cellphone showed Slager taking careful aim at Scott as he
ran away and then picking
up his Taser and dropping it
near Scott’s body, Slager was
charged with murder.
“If not for the recording, I
have no doubt that the officer
in the Walter Scott case would
be out on patrol today,” Harris
said.
Videos also have played a
key role in cases in which the
victims were, in fact, armed
— something that Tacopina
said typically brings to a halt
any thought of charging officers.
Chicago prosecutors concluded McDonald did not pose
a threat to Van Dyke, despite
the small knife that he was
carrying.
Likewise, prosecutors in
Albuquerque, N.M., charged
two officers with second-degree murder of a mentally ill
homeless man who was holding two knives when he was
shot to death.
Defense attorneys have
said the officers shot James
Boyd out of concern for their
lives, but Boyd appears to be
turning away from the officers
when the shots were fired.
In another case, an officer
may owe her freedom to the
camera that was attached to
her stun gun.
Lisa Mearkle, a police officer in Hummelstown, Penn.,
was charged with third-degree murder, voluntary and
involuntary
manslaughter
after shooting an unarmed
man twice in the back as he
laid face-down in the snow.
But after watching a video
that showed the man’s hands
repeatedly disappear under
his body as Mearkle shouted
at him to keep his hands
where she could see them, the
jury acquitted Mearkle.

What we think
A meaningful question
Americans must ask themselves how the nation can put a stop to these mass killings.
N
ot again, Americans must have
thought to themselves as details
emerged of another mass
murder by gunfire, this time in San
Bernardino, Calif.
At least two people armed with
assault rifles shot and killed 14
people and wounded 21 others in a
brazen noontime attack Wednesday
during a holiday gathering for county
employees at the Inland Regional
Center, which serves people with
developmental disabilities.
The slaughter came less than a
week after a different gunman killed
three and wounded nine in an assault
on a Planned Parenthood clinic in
Colorado.
The killers escaped in an SUV
police were able to stop 10 miles
away. Two suspects inside, a man
and a woman, were killed in a sub-
sequent shootout with police. One
officer was wounded.
As news of the California attack
unfolded through the afternoon and
night, questions centered on who the
killers were. Were they Americans
or foreigners? Were they jihadists
or just angry people out for revenge
over some slight? On Thursday, we
learned the killers’ identities, the size
of their formidable arsenal, a little
about their background, but little
else.
The FBI agent in charge initially
and correctly declined to speculate
whether it was terrorism, or to distinguish between domestic and foreign
terrorism.
To the dead, wounded and traumatized the killers’ intent makes no
meaningful difference. Their suffering is the same.
The bigger question Americans
should be asking is how does the
nation stop these mass killings. The
NRA says arming more citizens will
accomplish it. Still others who reject
the idea of living in a combat zone
like Iraq or Syria insist better gun
control laws will help. Other civilized
countries have found that alternative
works.
As it reported on the San Bernardino shootings, the Los Angeles
Times’ Internet edition published
a list of the worst mass killings in
the U.S. from 1984 through today
to remind Americans of the mass
slaughters they and their political
leaders continue to tolerate.
The 57 mass shootings in 25 states
have killed 362 children and adults
and wounded 386 others. California,
Texas, Connecticutt, Colorado and

Iowa is immune to gun madness.
The list includes a 1991 shooting by a
disgruntled student at the University
of Iowa that killed four people and
critically wounded two.
Such numbers are mindnumbing
to freedom-loving people. But the
question politicians refuse to answer
is when and how they intend to end
the insanity.
Regardless of
perspective,
censorship is wrong
U
pon learning about protests last month at the
University of Missouri, I
was pretty pessimistic. I had
just finished reading an Atlantic
article about so-called student
activism at Yale, and was
underwhelmed with most of the
people who are slightly younger
than myself.
The Yale protests stemmed
from an email about administrative mandates concerning
student Halloween costumes. A
lecturer at the university, Erika
Christakis, who with her husband is in charge of one of the
residential colleges there, sent
an email to the students she
lives with questioning the mandate and asking the students
to think critically about what
choices they made with their
costumes.
Some things clearly are
wrong. If you’re a white person
whose Halloween costume
involves painting your face with
black or brown paint, especially
if you then dress and act in a
way that perpetuates racial
stereotypes, that’s just dumb.
If you’re a man who bought
that ridiculous Caitlyn Jenner
costume, you’re being a tool.
But being told what not to do
doesn’t actually teach anyone
anything. It’s intellectual conversation and thought that helps
people evolve on their paths to
being more concerned and conscientious citizens.
But a group of noisy Yale students didn’t really care for intellectual conversation or thought.
Instead, they lashed out at the
lecturer and her husband, calling for them to be fired, to lose
their ability to live and work
among the students.
Nicholas Christakis met with
students publicly to discuss the
fallout from this email, and it
turned into a word that can’t
be used in a family newspaper.
Christakis tried listening to the
students, responding in a measured way with his feelings and
creating a civil dialogue.
At least some of them
responded by yelling, declaring
he “wasn’t worth listening to”
and telling him his job was not
to create an intellectual space
but to create a place of comfort.
Yale represented the latest
example of young people going
to extreme lengths to silence
anyone with whom they disagreed. Earlier this year, we saw
Wesleyan (the one in Connecticut, not Iowa) lose thousands
of dollars in university funding
provided through student government votes, simply because
of a weakly worded opinion
piece that basically said “hey,
maybe it would be cool if the
Black Lives Matter movement
did more to disavow violence
against police officers. The
rest of the movement is really
good, but these few extremists
are hurting everyone. Just a
thought.”
And I saw a lot of this in my
last job, as editor-in-chief of
the State Press, Arizona State
University’s student-run news
organization. During my final
semester, we had an opinion
editor so far left, he basically
tried to censor anything he
believed hinted even remotely
of white, cisgendered or heterosexual privelege.
So, with all these terrible
examples of people my age or a

little bit younger needlessly censoring anything conservative,
I was a bit skeptical of protests
at Mizzou.
But reading more about it
showed there was reason to
protest. The initial students
there effected change. They
drew attention to terrible racial
problems at the University of
Missouri and in the state.
Those problems can be
traced to Missouri’s very foundation as a slave territory, to the
bloody border fights between
Missourians and the abolitionist
jayhawkers from neighboring
free territory Kansas, to the way
Missouri, like Maryland, was
forcibly kept in the Union during
the Civil War. Mizzou draws
students from both mostly
white rural areas and the more
diverse urban areas of St. Louis
and Kansas City, and it’s a fitting
spot to begin tackling continued
institutional racism.
Then the protesters seemed
ready to shoot themselves in
the foot. They declared public
areas “safe spaces,” where they
thought they should be free of
media coverage. They harassed
and even physically assaulted
reporters. Over the next days,
protesters walked back their
attempted ban on media coverage, but the coverage soon was
overshadowed by the Nov. 13
terror attacks in Paris.
Seeing college students try
to silence others of their desire
to be comfortable and not
have their beliefs challenged
is frightening. And it’s mostly
frightening because it doesn’t fit
with the idea of liberalism correlating to open mindedness.
We expect certain conservatives to be behind the banning
of books, music, movies or
dancing, if you’re expecting
Kevin Bacon to move to your
town, but not the young people
who should be soaking up contradictory ideas and forming
their own opinions.
In the mid-2000s, a woman
named Laura Mallory down
in Georgia was convinced the
Harry Potter novels promoted
satanism and would turn children into witches. As everyone
who waited patiently for their
Hogwarts letter every year and
never received one knows, it’s
not true. But that didn’t stop
Mallory from spending years
trying to get the books out of
school libraries.
Now, you can go on Tumblr
and find people complaining the
books are too whitewashed and
heteronormative, that they’re
part of a culture that devalues
people of color and that they
shouldn’t be read.
Either way, regardless of
the political spectrum, you’re
ending up without a wonderful
series of books about a boy wizard who saves the world.

WASHINGTON — U.S. factory
orders rebounded in October
after two prior monthly declines,
helped by rising demand for aircraft, computers and machinery.
Factory orders rose 1.5 percent in October, the Commerce
Department said Thursday. This
follows monthly declines of
-0.8 percent in September and
-2.1 percent in August.
Factory orders have tumbled
7.1 percent year-to-date.
Manufacturers have struggled
to adjust to a stronger dollar
hurting exports, lower oil prices
and weak global economic
growth. But they were helped
in October as orders in the volatile aircraft category climbed
81 percent. Orders for computers and electronics advanced
1.9 percent. Machinery orders
improved 1.2 percent.
A separate category that
serves as a proxy for business
investment spending — and
excludes aircraft and defense
orders — improved 1.3 percent.
Much of the broader drag on
the industrial sector this year
reflects lower oil prices.
Through October, the value
of shipments from oil refineries
have plunged 33.4 percent compared to the same period in 2014.
U.S. manufacturing has lost
much of its heft this year, as factories face less demand abroad
for their products. China’s
economic growth has slowed.
Europe is struggling financially.
And Japan has slid into recession.
The stronger dollar causes
U.S. goods to be more expensive overseas, which has eroded
exports. The lower oil prices
have led energy firms to slash
orders for pipeline and equipment. Demand for autos and
long-lasting consumer goods
have not been strong enough to
fully offset these headwinds for
manufacturers.

Associated Press
BRUSSELS — The European
Union is investigating whether
fast food giant McDonald’s
received a sweet tax deal from
Luxembourg, part of a broader
effort to crack down on preferential treatment for big multinationals.
EU antitrust commissioner
Margrethe
Vestager
said
Thursday the company’s deal
with Luxembourg may have
breached state aid rules, which
seek to keep a level playing field
for businesses across the 28 EU
states.
The EU says that since 2009,
McDonald’s Europe Franchising paid no corporate tax in
Luxembourg despite large profits. It said the profits were more
than $265 million in 2013.
Vestager said that “a tax ruling that agrees to McDonald’s
paying no tax on their European
royalties either in Luxembourg
or in the U.S. has to be looked at
very carefully.”
The EU said Luxembourg
gave McDonald’s “an advantage
not available to other companies in a comparable factual and
legal situation.”
In October, the EU demanded
Starbucks and Fiat repay up to
$34 million each in back taxes,
in what was the start of a broad
crackdown on favorable tax
deals for multinationals.
Multinationals in Europe pay
taxes in the country where they
have their regional headquarters, and countries have long
competed to lure the big companies with incentives.
European nations are forced to
tighten their belt because of the
weak economy while some multinationals get away with huge
tax breaks.
Both
Luxembourg
and
McDonald’s denied any wrongdoing.
“McDonald’s complies with
all tax laws and rules in Europe
and pays a significant amount of
corporate income tax,” the company said in a statement.
It added in the 2010-2014
period McDonald’s companies
paid more than $2.1 billion in
corporate taxes in the EU, with
an average tax rate of almost 27
percent.
“We are subject to the same
tax laws as other companies
and are confident that the
inquiry will be resolved favorably,” the statement said.
Luxembourg’s finance ministry said “no specific tax treatment or selective advantage had
been given to McDonald’s.”
Since the EU has targeted
several U.S. multinationals,
Vestager has been accused of
singling out American companies.
“If you want to operate in the
EU, you are subject to EU rules,
EU competition rules and that is
what ensures that you can comMatt Dunham/Associated Press pete on a level playing field,” EU

Todd Heeter has spent a large
portion of his life cheering on the
Iowa Hawkeyes and officiating
high school athletics.
So when the 63-year-old referee envisioned the two activities interfering with each other
weeks in advance, he did by
phone what he would normally
do with his whistle.
He halted play.
Iowa’s appearance in Saturday’s Big Ten championship
game has generated enough
interest and anticipation for several area schools to move start
times of their games earlier into
the day. Six area high school
basketball games, as well as
the Southeastern Community
College men’s basketball game
against Kirkwood, are tipping off
Saturday sooner than originally
scheduled.
“Only because of the Iowa
game,” Notre Dame High School
athletic director Ron Glasgow
said.
Heeter reached out to
Glasgow about three weeks ago.
At the time, Heeter liked Iowa’s
chances of beating Minnesota
and Purdue. Topping Nebraska
on the road would be tough, but
he was confident the Hawkeyes
would finish the regular season
undefeated. Doing so would take
them to Indianapolis to play for a
Big Ten Championship.
The biggest obstacle Heeter
faced was a JV/varsity boys doubleheader between Notre Dame
and Winfield-Mt. Union, set to
start one hour before the Big Ten
Championship game.
He was scheduled to be a referee for the Nikes and Wolves.

South Dakota State senior Brance Simms,
from Gilmore City, Iowa, celebrates his
win over Kevin Norstrem of Virginia Tech
in their 133-pound match on Nov. 21 at
Frost Arena in Brookings, S.D.
IOWA CITY — Brance Simms was almost
a Mount Pleasant High School Panther.
Almost.
Simms, a senior on the South Dakota State
wrestling team, was born when his parents
lived in Mount Pleasant. The family lived
in Mount Pleasant until Brance was three,
when his father took a job in northwest Iowa,
prompting the family to move to Gilmore
City.
Mount Pleasant’s loss turned out to be
the Twin River Valley High School wrestling
team’s gain. Simms went on become a state
champion his junior year. He also placed second as a sophomore and fifth as a senior.
Now, Simms is the Jackrabbits’ starting
133-pounder. He brings a 5-4 record into
tonight’s dual against second-ranked Iowa at
7 p.m. at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

McGuire, who only practiced three times

“It’s been a lot of fun,” said McGuire, a redshirt freshman. “It’s funny the things work

while Ben Schwery, a junior from Council
Bluffs Lewis Central High School, is listed as
a possibility at 184.
For Simms and Macki, it is the opportunity of a lifetime to compete in front of family and friends, even though both grew up as
Iowa State fans.
“This would be a big win, especially at
Carver-Hawkeye Arena. That would be a
really big win,” Simms said. “We’re going to
try our best. Coach (Chris Bono) tells us to
give 100 percent every time we are on the
mat. Eventually, when you give 100 percent,
you will win some matches.”
“It’s going to be great,” said Macki, a twotime state qualifier who placed fourth at
state as a senior. “I grew up right by Ames,
so I’ve never been a Hawkeyes fan. I’m going
to have a lot of my buddies and my parents
and old friends there to watch. They haven’t
seen me wrestle much the last couple years,
so this is going to be really nice.”

DETROIT — Aaron Rodgers
took advantage of one last shot
to stun the Detroit Lions.
Rodgers threw a 61-yard
touchdown pass to Richard Rodgers with no time left to give the
Green Bay Packers a 27-23 victory over the Detroit Lions on
Thursday night.
The Packers got the untimed
down after Detroit defensive end
Devin Taylor was called for grabbing Aaron Rodgers’ facemask
on a tackle on what would’ve
been the last play.
The Packers (8-4) had lost four
of five. The Lions (4-8) had won
three straight and blew a chance
to sweep the season series for
the first time since 1991.
Matthew Stafford connected
with Calvin Johnson on his second touchdown pass of the first
quarter to help Detroit build
a 20-point lead that it couldn’t
keep.
Aaron Rodgers scored on a
17-yard run with 3:04 left, pulling
the Packers within two points.
Stafford connected with TJ
Jones to convert a third-and-12
from the Detroit 18 after Green
Bay called its final timeout with
2:54 to go. The Lions needed one
more first down to seal the victory, but Green Bay forced them
to punt and got the ball back on
the 21 with 23 seconds left.
Following two incompletions,
including one in which Detroit
appeared to get away with pass
interference, Aaron Rodgers
threw a pass to James Jones and
the ball was lateraled twice, leaving the quarterback with the ball
and no one behind him to pitch
to keep the play alive.
But Taylor grabbed Aaron
Rodgers’ facemask, giving the
Packers another play.
Aaron Rodgers scrambled
long enough to give his receivers
time to sprint to the end zone
and got to the outside. The quarterback threw the ball, perhaps
as high and far as he could, and
his tight end found a way to get
to it in front of a slew of players
from both teams and leaped for
the catch.
Aaron Rodgers finished 24 of
36 for 289 yards with two touchdowns.
Stafford was 23 of 35 for 220
yards and two scores.
Detroit went ahead 17-0 after
its first three drives and capped
the opening possession of the
third quarter with a field goal to
go ahead 20-0.
It wasn’t a big enough cushion.
The Packers scored their first
points with 5:44 left in the third
when James Starks fumbled and
Randall Cobb recovered it in the
end zone.
On the next snap, Julius Peppers stripped the ball from Stafford and Jake Ryan recovered
it for Green Bay at the Lions
12. On the ensuing third down,
Aaron Rodgers perfectly lofted
a 17-yard pass over linebacker
Josh Bynes to Davante Adams
for his first touchdown reception
this season to pull the Packers
within six points.
The Packers forced Detroit to
punt on the next possession, but
had to punt it back after Ezekiel

SPORTS
BHS looks to New and
bounce back improved BHS
Grayhounds hoping
experience will lead to
more wins.
By CHAD DRURY
cdrury@thehawkeye.com
At first glance, it appears the
Burlington High School boys
basketball team can’t go anywhere but up after last season.
BHS coach Jeff Bloomer actually started to see his team trend
in that direction at the end of last
year.
The Grayhounds struggled
mightily during a winless regular season, but won a postseason
game that few expected. Now,
with several players returning
who went through the rigors of
the Mississippi Athletic Conference, there is reason to hope for
better this time around.
“We were really young last
year and it was a process during
the season. No one liked all the
losses,” Bloomer said of the 1-22
season. “But at the end of the
year, we were playing much better. Last year, we actually were
doing some things to prepare for
this year.”
The Grayhounds still figure
to be a perimeter-oriented team
because of an overall lack of size.
However, BHS hopes to have
a post presence with 6-foot-1
senior Termale Tellis, who
played the second half of last
season and gave the Grayhounds
something they’d been lacking
— toughness and rebounding.
“He had a really good offseason for us. He’s a guy who has a
nose for the ball,” Bloomer said.
“We need him to finish shots for
us down there and use some
fakes against teams that are bigger than we are in the paint.”
BHS returns four guards, led
by Cameron Schroeder, who
emerged as the team’s starting
point guard. Last year’s leading
scorer, Isaac Oard, who averaged nine points per game, also
returns, as do Jace Mueller and
Tyler Mosena. The quartet of
Schroeder, Oard, Mosena and
Jordan Randall, a returning
forward, combined to take 241
3-pointers a year ago.
“We have a lot of perimeter
guys, but we also think we can
get them more spacing so they
can create some shots off the
dribble and be more aggressive
that way,” Bloomer said. “They
can shoot it from the outside, but
our biggest problem was taking
care of the ball.”
Bloomer also will look some
some solid minutes out of 6-4
sophomore Dadrian Hoambrecker, as well guard Tyler
Conner. Both will see the first
varsity action of their careers
this season.
Bloomer, who acknowledged
the Grayhounds’ defense has
always been “pretty good,” sees
more depth this season, which
could lead to more pressing on

the defensive end.
Early last February at Pleasant Valley, Bloomer felt his team
began to turn the corner. The
Grayhounds lost by 13 to the
eventual Class 4A runner-up, but
the game showed the potential of
the team, which he hopes carries
into this season.
“There were games we wish
we could have won last year, but
we got better toward the end of
the season because we let the
game come to us,” he said. “When
you start losing games, individual guys want to step up, but they
start to force some things. It has
to be a collective effort for the
guys this year to get better.”
The MAC last season was “as
good as it has been in a long, long
time,” Bloomer said. This year,
it will still be difficult. Pleasant
Valley may be the team to beat,
and defending state champion
North Scott also will be tough
despite losing some key players.
Muscatine, with Iowa recruit
sophomore Joe Wieskamp, could
also be a factor.
“Our expectation is to win
more games, and just to be
much more competitive overall,”
Bloomer said. “The first step is to
try to get into the top half of the
league, and that’s where we’re at.
Some of the teams in the conference lost a lot of kids, so maybe
that will help us a bit.”
Grayhound boys
swimmers have new
coach, new sharing
agreement.
By BEN SCHUFF
bschuff@thehawkeye.com
Jeff Kristensen is back for his
third stint as coach with the Burlington High School boys swim
team.
This time, the team’s talent
pool is as big as ever.
A new co-op involving BHS,
Notre Dame, West Burlington
and Danville high schools has
increased competition within
the team as the Grayhounds
begin a new season.
Kristensen said about half
of the swimmers coming to the
Grayhounds swim competitively
with the YMCA, giving them
valuable experience in the water.
“They’re getting the experience of swimming at the high
school level, which is good for
them,” Kristensen said of the
new swimmers who have joined
the team through the agreement. “It’s good for our program
because it’s bringing those competitive people in and the more
friendly competition you have on
the team, the better.”
Kristensen’s return to the
BHS swim program came after
former coach Jessica Mickey
stepped down following last season.
Kristensen, who swam during
his high school days for BHS,
said he wanted to “make sure
the program kept going because
they didn’t really have anybody.”
“You kind of hate to see a program that you were a part not
continue on,” he said.
Two seniors, Keaton Sattler
and Cody Wright, lead a roster
comprised of mostly underclassmen. Of the 16 members on the
team, 11 are freshmen or sophomores.
Sattler has impressed his new
coach throughout preseason
practices and will likely swim
leadoff or serve as the anchor on
relays, depending upon the competition at a given meet.
A few others have set themselves apart for spots on relays,
but Kristensen wants to keep
competition open for the best of
the team.
“You never know once things
start working out and people
see what they can do,” he said.
“Sometimes that little encouragement of (an opportunity to
swim in a meet) lights a little fire
under them.”
Wright was part of a group
that asked about bringing back
morning workouts, something
Kristensen experienced both as
a high school swimmer and oversaw previously as coach. He said
upwards of half the team has
been coming in at 6 a.m., either
to spend time in the pool or the
weight room.

Jeff Kristensen
BHS boys swimming coach
focused on flip turns and improving endurance.
The Grayhounds know they
will have to be at their best to
compete against other teams in
the Mississippi Athletic Conference. Kristensen acknowledged
the relatively small team he has
— three MAC teams have 37
or more swimmers — and has
encouraged his team to embrace
the challenge.
“I talk about, we’re really
swimming for our best times
and where we want to be at at
the end of the season,” he said.
“Right now, if you’re going to get
faster, you have to swim against
fast people. You’ve got to learn to
swim against that.”
Monmouth winning
and having fun
Men’s hoops reaching
new heights on the
court even beyond
bench’s GIF-worthy
celebrations.
By RICH FISHER
Associated Press
WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J.
— Monmouth may have the most
popular bench in America, and
the guys playing on the court
are also making quite a name for
themselves.
The Hawks reserves have
gained national acclaim for their
entertaining routines in reaction
to big moments during games,
shared quickly online through
Vines and GIFs. There have
been many during Monmouth’s
4-2 start, as the mid-major from
Central New Jersey is emerging
as college basketball’s early feelgood story.
Monmouth has wins over
UCLA, No. 17 Notre Dame and
USC, and begins MAAC play
Friday at Canisius. This week, it
received its first-ever vote in the
AP Top 25 poll.
Asked if there’s a buzz on campus, junior guard Justin Robinson said “Definitely. More people
are saying hi, the anticipation for
the first home game is starting to
rise. It’s pretty good.”
Remarkable considering Monmouth went 33-62 during King
Rice’s first three years as coach.
After 20 years as an assistant
at Oregon, Illinois State, Providence and Vanderbilt, Rice figured he could turn Monmouth
around quickly. Instead, “I lost a
lot of games and a lot of weight,”
he said.
Athletic Director Marilyn
McNeil, who told Rice she
wanted basketball to be relevant
within five years of his hiring,
re-signed him last year despite
the losing record. Two of those
seasons, Monmouth was in the
Northeast Conference.
“That kind of relaxed everybody, and I became a better
coach because I wasn’t as
stressed out,” Rice said. The
Hawks responded with an 18-15
record, their highest win total
since 2005-06, and reached the
MAAC Tournament semifinals.
This season started with an
overtime victory at UCLA — the
program’s first win over a Pac-12
opponent.
“That was kind of surreal,”
said Robinson, who’s averaging
24.8 points. “I didn’t want to go
to bed because I didn’t want to
wake up and have it not be true.”
“We were a team that thought
we could be good,” Rice said.
“When we pulled that one off,
I think that solidified in our
kids’ minds that hey if we stick
together we can beat some
teams.”
The 70-68 win over Notre
Dame on Nov. 26 was the school’s
first over a ranked opponent.
“Going into the game, all over

the country we were hearing,
‘Aww you can’t win this game,’”
Robinson said. “But my team
knew we had the opportunity to
win it. It was a mindset thing.”
Sunday produced an 83-73 win
over USC for third place in the
AdvoCare Invitational in Florida.
“I truly think it has been amazing,” Rice said. “As a coach, you
don’t want things to happen too
quick for your kids and you want
your kids to deal with it the right
way. But this is really unprecedented for all of us.”
Rice insists Monmouth has
yet to play its best basketball.
He reminded his players that
although “this thing has gotten
really big pretty fast,” the conference games are what count.
The Hawks seem to grasp
that. Given Monday off after
returning from Florida, Robinson was in the gym after scoring
an AdvoCare-record 77 points.
He was later joined by several
teammates.
“It’s good to know we’re not
going to be complacent and we
know we have more work to
do,” Robinson said. “Everybody
on this team loves the game and
everybody wants a championship.”
Other starters are redshirt
freshman Micah Seaborn (13.8
points per game), senior guard
Deon Jones (7.7 rebounds per
game), junior guard Je’lon Hornbeak and junior center Zac Tillman. The deep rotation, which
has a nice chemistry, includes
Collin Stewart, Chris Brady,
Austin Tilghman, Diago Quinn
and Josh James.
As for his end-of-the-bench
celebrities, notably Tyler Robinson, Louie Pillari, Daniel Pillari
and Greg Noack, Rice loves the
attention they are getting for
their over-the-top celebrations.
“Those kids go through everything the rest of the guys do,”
he said. “I’m happy people have
noticed what they’re doing. As
long as they keep it clean, I’m
really cool with it.”

SYNOPSIS
The Hawkeyes are rolling
along and have looked sharp
for the most part. There are still
questions to be answered at 141,
157 and 165, and those spots
should be ironed out in the next
two duals, as well as the Midlands
Championships at the end of the
month. The Jackrabbits’ record is
deceiving — they lost a four-point
dual to sixth-ranked Virginia Tech
and a five-point dual to fourthranked Oklahoma State in their
last two outings. By contrast, Iowa
beat the Cowboys by two points
in the season-opening Grapple
on the Gridiron. The Hawkeyes
can ill-afford to fall asleep on
the fast-rising Jackrabbits. The
Jackrabbits feature a pair of
ranked wrestlers at 157 and 197,
and have at least a pair of Iowans
in the lineup — Simms at 133 and
Macki at heavyweight. There is
also another Iowa connection —
Gross was on the Iowa roster last
season before being dismissed
from the squad for his involvement in a burglary last spring.

Continued from page 1B
his career, including 25-24 in duals. The Nutrition and Food Science major is coming off a 7-5,
sudden-victory win over Oklahoma State’s Gary
Wayne Harding, but faces a monumental challenge
in second-ranked Cory Clark of Iowa, the national
runner-up at 133 last season.
Like Macki, Simms grew up an Iowa State fan.
So when Bono, a former national champion for the
Cyclones, came calling on Simms and Macki, he
didn’t have to twist their arms to persuade them
to head north to wrestle for the Jackrabbits. And
when former Iowa State All-American Jon Reader
came on board as an assistant coach prior to last
season, well that was just an added bonus.
“I went to a few places, but when Coach Bono
called me, I knew where I wanted to go,” Simms
said. “I’ve been here since he first got here as coach.
It’s been a tough road, but it’s been fun.”
“My head coach in high school, Nick Britton,
wrestled for Bono at Iowa State,” Macki said. “He
put in a good word for me. I came up here on a visit
and I loved it. I’m a fishery and wildlife management major, so it was really a no-brainer. I am glad
to be a part of it.”
Simms had an impressive junior season, going
25-16, including 10-9 in duals. He went 2-1 in the
NCAA West Regional and was named to the NWCA
All-Academic team. Simms knows this is his final
chance to qualify for nationals, and a good showing against Clark will go a long way toward turning
some heads and boosting his confidence.
“It means I’ve got to prove more to myself and to
other people that I can do better than I have in the
past,” Simms said. “I need to set an example for the
younger guys. I want to be an All-American, so I’ve
got to get it done this season. That’s pretty much it.”
Macki was 10-15 coming into this season. He
earned the starting spot at heavyweight this season. He is coming off a bizarre finish to the Oklahoma State, where he won when fourth-ranked
Austin Marsden was disqualified for misconduct.
Macki faces Iowa freshman Sam Stoll, who is
coming off a 5-1 win over Iowa State’s Quean Smith
on Sunday. Like Simms, Macki is excited to be in
the lineup for a South Dakota State program which
is on the rise.
“I’ve trained hard for a chance to get on the biggest stage, and now my hard work is paying off,”
said Macki, whose father played college hockey for
Minnesota. “It’s awesome. I was voted team captain and I was team captain in high school. This
tam is doing some great things, but we’re just trying to take it one dual at a time.”
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Daniel Munyer was cut
by the Chiefs in mid-October and retreated to the
University of Colorado, where he stayed in shape
by volunteering to help his alma mater with the
offensive line.
Then his phone rang on Sunday.
Chiefs general manager John Dorsey had just
watched left tackle Eric Fisher leave a game with a
neck injury, Jeff Allen depart with an ankle injury
and Mitch Morse leave with a concussion. His team
was suddenly so short of bodies that coach Andy
Reid contemplated using a tight end on the line.
Allen managed to play through the pain the rest
of the way in a 30-22 win over Buffalo, but the perilous lack of depth caused Dorsey to give Munyear
a call.
“You have to have a next-man-up attitude
because when you’re called upon, you have to take
advantage of it,” said Munyear, who quickly jumped
on a flight from Denver to Kansas City.
As the Chiefs prepare to visit Oakland on Sunday, they are contemplating their sixth offensive
line combination this season. Morse remains out
with a concussion, so Zach Fulton is likely to get
his first start at center, while Fisher and Allen were
still slowed in practice this week.
Exactly what the line looks against the Raiders
is anybody’s guess.
“I really don’t get into all that with the guys,”
Reid said. “The guys come in and they go. If you
practice, you practice. If you can’t, you can’t and
we roll. That’s the approach we’ve taken and the
guys are good with it.
“They battle like crazy to get themselves back
and if they can’t make it, they have trust in the guys
around them that they’ll step in and do a good job,”
Reid added. “We’ve kind of just left it at that.”
That may be an overly simplistic approach to
things.
The Chiefs (6-5) had used the same offensive
line the last four weeks, and that coincided with
four of the five wins during their current streak.
Not only did they do a competent job of protecting quarterback Alex Smith, they paved the way
for journeymen running backs Charcandrick West
and Spencer Ware to become fantasy football
heroes in place of the injured Jamaal Charles.
They’re averaging more than 30 points per game
during their streak, and that’s pushed Kansas City
into a tie for fifth in the NFL in scoring for the season.
“To be honest,” Smith said, “I feel like all the
juggling we’ve done last year and this offseason
and training camp earlier this year, different guys
playing — moving guys around — maybe early in
the year it was hard on it, but I think at this point it
starts to become a strength.”
It certainly came in handy against the Bills.
Fulton started at guard last season and has
been a backup this season, but he slid to center
and didn’t flub a snap in the rainy slop. Donald Stephenson has shuffled all along the line, Jah Reid
has filled in admirably, and Allen has been used at
guard and tackle depending on the week.
Munyear has the ability to play guard and center,
making him a valuable addition.
“We’ve had a lot of guys play at a high level and I
think Sunday was a great example of that,” Smith
said. “It’s that time of year, guys are going to get
banged up and move around and obviously as the
week goes on, we’ll find out how healthy we get.”
Notes: S Eric Berry was back at practice Thursday. He had a routine checkup on Wednesday
with the specialists in Atlanta who treated him
for lymphoma. ... DE Mike DeVito (shoulder) was
back practicing after missing Wednesday’s workout. Morse and De’Anthony Thomas (concussions)
were held out again.
Packers
Detroit a 23-14 lead with 7:06 left.
The Packers kept their comeback hopes alive when Aaron
Rodgers converted a fourthand-1 from their 25 on a 15-yard
pass to Cobb. The QB capped
the 84-yard drive by running for
a TD, pulling Green Bay within
two.
On Stafford’s two TD passes
in the first quarter, he took
advantage of Green Bay’s disorganized defense and of having
the 6-foot-5 Johnson as a teammate.
Stafford threw a 3-yard pass
to Eric Ebron, who was uncovered, after the Packers scrambled around to get lined up and
were left two defenders trying to
cover three Lions.
One snap after Aaron Rodgers overthrew James Jones
and Glover Quin intercepted
the pass, Johnson added to his
highlights. While cloaked by cornerback Sam Shields, he leaped
to catch Stafford’s 17-yard pass
with two hands and squeezed
the ball with only his right hand
as he planted his right foot and
dragged his left on the side of the
end zone.

Iowa tight end Henry Krieger Coble (80) carries the ball during the first half of the game against
Maryland on Oct. 31 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.
Iowa
mean, I have had to improve immensely at that,
too, over my career. There isn’t really any facet of
my game that I haven’t had to completely change
and completely work on every single day. Every
single part of my game has had to really adapt.”
Krieger Coble was an honorable-mention
all-conference pick this season, but Iowa coach
Kirk Ferentz thought he could have much more.
“I can’t say enough about the improvement that
he’s made,” Ferentz said Tuesday, a few hours
before the All-Big Ten teams were released. “I
think he’s got every chance and right to be an AllBig Ten tight end. You never know how that stuff
is going to pan out, but he’s a tremendous football
player and plays better each week as the season
goes on.”
Ferentz has raved about Krieger Coble’s ability
as a baseball player when he was in high school,
and how it makes a difference with how he plays
his position now.
“It’s all kind of natural, as far as catching the
ball,” Krieger Coble said. “ I’ve always been able to
catch the ball. But just learning how to find open
space and that kind of stuff, that came on as my
career has gone on. I’m still trying to get better at
it, but I’ve gotten a lot better compared to where I
was a couple of years ago.
“When you have to go out there and make a
tough catch in traffic, you have to be able to trust
your hands, trust your eyes. Even being able to
field an onside (kick), that’s all natural. You just
have to go out there and play it like you would a
baseball game.”
He also is quite adept at getting through the
defensive traffic jam, something he never really
faced at Mount Pleasant.
“It’s completely different than when you’re
younger, where there’s tons of space and all of
that,” Krieger Coble said. “And then you have to
come up here and play against great athletes at
every position. So as far as that, you have to make
more plays, and you have to work on it a lot more
in practice and stuff, as good as the competition is
going to be and how hard you’re going to have to
work to get those balls.”
Krieger Coble had baseball and basketball
options for college.
But he wanted to be a Hawkeye, even if he
didn’t get a lot of football offers.
“Once I got the offer here, I took it, in like a few
days,” Krieger Coble said. “I was just like, this is
where I wanted to go. I’ve been a Hawkeye my
whole life.”
Like the beard, why change a good thing?

Spartans’ secondary soaring
After difficult start to season,
Michigan State’s secondary showing
signs of stability.
By NOAH TRISTER
Associated Press
EAST LANSING, Mich. — About a month ago,
Michigan State’s secondary cost the Spartans a
shot at an undefeated season, and a Big Ten title
seemed unlikely unless things improved quickly.
Now, that maligned group of defensive backs is
gaining confidence — and preparing to take the
field for the conference title game.
“I think that we’re playing fast, we understand
what to do, we have good skill back there,” coach
Mark Dantonio said. “Things hang by inches, by
threads, a misstep here or misstep there can cost
you, especially in the back end, or a missed play on
a deep ball, whatever the case, missed tackle. I just
think we’re having less and less of that.”
The Spartans had to rely on less experienced
players after losing defensive backs Vayante Copeland and RJ Williamson to major injuries. The
problems in the secondary finally cost Michigan
State when Nebraska went 91 yards in only four
plays to steal a win over the Spartans in the final
minute, but since that Nov. 7 game, the defensive
backfield has shown signs of improvement, and it’s
fair to wonder if this weak link has become more
stable.
The next big test comes this weekend when the
fifth-ranked Spartans (11-1) face fourth-ranked
Iowa (12-0) in the Big Ten championship game Saturday night.
Copeland went down in September with a fractured vertebra and is out for the season. Williamson hasn’t played since Oct. 3 because of a torn
bicep. Dantonio said this week that Williamson is
practicing but probably won’t be available against
Iowa.
The defensive backs atop the depth chart this
week include two juniors and a fifth-year senior,
but that doesn’t mean it’s a terribly experienced
bunch. Cornerback Arjen Colquhoun and safety
Demetrious Cox had started one game between
them before this season. They’ve combined to start
21 in 2015.
Since the 39-38 loss to Nebraska, Michigan State
has allowed only 37 points total to Maryland, Ohio
State and Penn State.
“They have always had good talent back there,”
Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard said. “They’re a
well-coached team. We know that we’re going to
have to bring our best.”
It’s fair to wonder how much of Michigan State’s
defensive improvement was because of the opposition. Maryland won only one Big Ten game this
season, and Ohio State was criticized for not trying
harder to exploit Michigan State’s vulnerability to
the deep pass. It was also raining when the Spartans beat the Buckeyes.
Against Penn State, the Spartans had trouble
tackling in the open field, but Nittany Lions quarterback Christian Hackenberg wasn’t able to hurt
them much with deep passes over the top.
Michigan State actually allowed fewer yards
passing in conference play this season than Iowa,
although the Hawkeyes had a Big Ten-best 12 interceptions in league games. In 12 games overall,
Iowa’s Desmond King had eight interceptions —
the Detroit product is tied for the national lead in
that category.
“He’s got some good size, he’s got speed, everything you want in a cornerback,” Michigan State
quarterback Connor Cook said. “I would say for
sure looking at their defense, Iowa’s defense, I
think their secondary is for sure their strong point.”
Few people would say that about Michigan
State’s secondary, even now, but there’s been some
progress over the last few weeks, and the Spartans’
defensive backs are looking more comfortable
with each additional game.
And that could make Michigan State even more
formidable as the season draws to a close.
“I think Arjen Colquhoun is playing very, very
well,” Dantonio said. “And all four of those guys
back there have made plays in these last three
weeks that indicate we have a cohesive unit right
now.”
Memphis hires Arizona State’s Norvell
Person familiar with
decision: Memphis hires
Sun Devils’ coordinator
as coach.

Associated Press
Trying to follow the success
Justin Fuente had in reviving
Memphis’ program, the Tigers
are going with another young
Southeastern Community College’s Chris Myers prepares to
shoot a 3-pointer during the first half of their game against
DMACC on Wednesday at SCC’s Loren Walker Arena.
watch our kids play anyway.
We might have lost a few stragglers, I guess,” Edeker said. “I
just looked at it more from the
coaches’ standpoint and players’
standpoint. I know quite a few of
our coaches want to see it and a
lot of our kids want to see it.

out. I believe things happen and fall into place for
a reason, not to be cliché. I came back healthy, and
when Trenton went down, that was unfortunate.
“It’s been fun, I love playing the game of football.
To come back at the end of the season, and (the
team was) playing well, whether I was playing or
not playing, makes it much more fun.”
McGuire was 29-of-44 passing for 332 yards and
a touchdown, and added 28 rushing yards, in the
win over Indiana State. The following week, in the
regular-season finale against South Dakota State,
McGuire threw for 282 yards and a touchdown,
and then ran for the winning touchdown in double
overtime, as the Leathernecks pulled out a 30-24
win.
Those two games were like playoffs for Western
Illinois, which needed to win those games to even
have a chance to get in the 24-team field.
And that helped McGuire in last week’s 24-7
win over Dayton, in which he threw for two touchdowns.
“I would say it’s the same feel,” McGuire said.
Now McGuire will be facing the fourth-ranked
Redbirds, who were national runners-up last season.
“I think he’ll be fine,” Western Illinois coach Bob
Nielson said. “South Dakota State was a good football team, Indiana State was a good football team,
you’ve got him a start in a playoff game — no matter who your opponent is in a playoff game, it’s a
different type of preparation, a different type of
offensive coordinator in Arizona
State’s Mike Norvell as their new
head football coach.
A person with direct knowledge of the decision told The
Associated Press that Norvell
will be Memphis’ coach. University President Dr. M. David Rudd
wrote on Twitter late Thursday
afternoon that he hired a “great
football coach” who would be
introduced at a news conference
Friday. That coach is Norvell,
according to a person who spoke
to the AP on condition of anonymity because the hiring hasn’t
been announced yet.
The Commercial Appeal in
Memphis first reported Norvell’s
hiring.
The 34-year-old Norvell
replaces Justin Fuente, who was
hired by Virginia Tech on Sunday after four years at Memphis.
Fuente came to Memphis after a
stint as TCU’s co-offensive coordinator.
Com in g Su n d a y ...
do you want to move this up and
they were sort of like, sure, we
can … If they would’ve came
back and said, no, we prefer not
to, we would’ve said OK, that’s
fine, and played at the normal
time.
“I thought this was a chance to
make everything work out good.”
feel. He’s continuing to see things better, I think, as
a result of the playing time he’s gotten, and I would
expect him to be on point Saturday.”
McGuire has been helped by having veterans
surrounding him on offense. Junior wide receivers
Lance Lenoir Jr., and Joey Borsellino have been
starters since they were true freshmen, and senior
Nikko Watson has been the Leathernecks’ leading
rusher twice in his career.
“Guys around me make it much easier, and
I think we’re playing good football right now,”
McGuire said. “A lot of guys up and down the line
make it a lot better for me.
“It’s extremely important to have that. They’re
the group that has pushed us to where we are right
now. All the credit in the world to those guys. Some
of these guys have been here five years. The veteran guys have put in the work, and us younger
guys have taken to what they do.”
“I think he has a lot of confidence, and he has
the confidence of our team,” Nielson said. “That
was one of the things you saw right away when he
was forced into that position against Indiana State,
how well our guys rallied around him. And he’s got
the kind of personality that exudes confidence and
brings others along with him.”
This will be the most intense atmosphere
McGuire has faced in these last few weeks — the
game is expected to be a sellout.
“I guess you really can’t prepare for noise factors
or what not until you’re actually there,” McGuire
said. “That’s the way it goes. We just have to be
mentally prepared. I think when you get playing,
you block that stuff like that out.”

“I don’t think it will affect our
crowd much. I’m not sure what
our crowd would’ve been like
had we played the varsity game
at 7:30,” he said. “I think our fans
will like it. I think our boosters
will like it because they put a lot
of work into those games. I know
the officials will like it, that’s for
sure. We’re all happy with it.”
Concern over crowd size was
the main reason SCC changed
its start time against Kirkwood,
which will be traveling from
Cedar Rapids, from 7 p.m. to
3 p.m.
“If we want any chance at all
of drawing a crowd and having
people from Kirkwood come
down, we couldn’t possibly play
head-to-head against that game,”
SCC athletic director and men’s
basketball coach Terry Carroll
said. “Everyone that is a football
fan is staying home to watch that
game. They’re not coming out to
watch basketball.”
WACO athletic director Chad
Edeker reached out to New London about adjusting start times
for their boys and girls doubleheaders. Edeker wasn’t concerned about fan attendance, but
said the Iowa game “was a big
part” of changing times.
New London and WACO were
slated to play four games in
succession Saturday, beginning
with a JV girls game at 2 and
ending with a varsity boys game
around 6:30. Instead, the JV boys
and varsity girls will play at 2 and
JV girls and varsity boys around
3:30.

Michigan State’s secondary cost the Spartans a shot at an undefeated season, and a Big Ten title
seemed unlikely unless things improved quickly. Now, that maligned group of defensive backs is
gaining confidence, and preparing to take the field for the conference title game.

Ill. school collects ID kits to help with missing children
By DAVE FOPAY
Mattoon (Ill.) Journal Gazette &
Times-Courier
CHARLESTON, Ill. — Police
need every tool they can get
when a child is missing, and
that means more than a photograph.
That’s why identification kits
assembled for Carl Sandburg
Elementary School first-grade
students in Charleston also
include other items and materials.
Detective
Marlon
Williams of the Charleston Police
Department said it is important for the kits to include such
things as video recordings of
the students. That not only
shows what the children look
like but also how they act, he
explained.
“We want every tool available,” Williams said. “There
may be something distinctive. A child’s appearance can
change, but mannerisms are
typically consistent.”
The kits assembled included
videos, photographs, fingerprints and DNA samples from
cheek swabs. The children’s
families got the kits as an all-inone packet that would be readily available if the need arises,
Williams said.
The Charleston Masonic
Lodge has sponsored the ID kit
program for about the last five
years.
Larry Drake, the program’s
director, said it’s good to target
younger students so their families will have the kits for all the
years they’re in school.
The goal is to have the children’s identification materials
immediately available so families don’t have to take the time
to search for photographs or
come up with other information, he said.
The kits were offered at Carl
Sandburg in November. The
program included Ashmore Elementary School, the only other
school in the Charleston district
with first grade.
Drake encouraged parents to
make copies of the disk with the
videos and give them to other
family members who care for
their children.
Parents of 80 of Carl Sandburg’s 180 first-graders signed
permission slips to allow their
children to receive the kits.
Drake said that’s close to the
response rates for the program
during past years, but organizers would like to see more participate.
“It seems a shame for those
kids to miss out,” he said, adding all parents had to do is sign
the permission slips.
Williams said police also
would like to see more families
take part in the program.
He said some parents might
Kevin Kilhoffer/Times-Courier
be hesitant because they think
it’s time consuming, but they Charleston (Ill.) Police Department detective Marlon Williams, right, scans the fingerprint of a student Nov. 4 at Carl Sandburg

Warren Wesley Turner
April 2, 1935 ~ November 19, 2015 (age 80)
Warren Wesley Turner was born on April 2,
1935 to Earl B. and Esther (Johnson) Turner at
Lockridge, Iowa. He passed away on November
19, 2015 in Centralia, Washington.
He graduated from Burlington High School in
Burlington, Iowa in 1954 and then attended Burlington College where he received his Associate
of Arts Degree in 1956. He worked 4 summers
for the Forest Service in Wyoming. In 1957 he received his draft notice and was inducted into the
U.S. Army on December 4, 1957. His basic training took place at Fort
Carson, Colorado. He was eventually stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington. He reached the rank of Specialist 4 – Combat Engineer. He
received his Honorable Discharge on November 30, 1963.
Warren met Patricia Wooldridge in 1958 at the YWCA in Olympia.
Three months prior to their marriage on June 13, 1959 he asked for
Pat’s hand in marriage. She was the love of his life for 56+ years.
They had two daughters, Debra and Rebecca. In 1965 they moved
to Camp Grisdale. He was hired as the timekeeper and eventually
was the Camp Administrator. While living in Grisdale, he taught first
aid and drove the ambulance as an EMT. He was also on the school
board for Quinault School District for a number of years. During the
summers the family would go out into the woods to pick blackberries
which Warren would make into wine or Pat would make into jam. They
lived in Grisdale for 20 years, until it closed in 1985. After Grisdale
closed, Warren started the yearly Grisdale Reunions for all families
that lived and/or worked at Grisdale. When Grisdale closed, Warren
transferred to the Simpson Waterfront in Shelton where he worked
until his retirement in 1994. He worked for Simpson Timber Company
for 35 years. In 1992 he was awarded Citizen of the Year for 1991
for his work on the establishment of the Loggers Memorial which is
on the corner of 2nd and Railroad Avenue in Shelton. On the day he
retired, he got home and Pat was in the motorhome ready to go, literally it was running. He went from the truck to the motorhome without
missing a beat. They traveled the United States for 9 months, exactly
what they planned to do for their retirement. While on the road, he enjoyed making wind spinners, working with his lathe, and making candy. He loved giving his candy to family and friends. They came home
for a few months and then headed out to travel for 10 years. It was an
amazing adventure for both of them. When they came off the road,
they settled in Nyssa, Oregon to be near Becky and her family. But
the elevation in Nyssa was not great for Dad’s health. They moved to
Chehalis, Washington in June 2013. In November 2013 he underwent
back surgery from which he never really recovered.
Warren is survived by his wife of 56+ years, Patricia – the love of
his life, daughter Debra (Eric) Dobson of Shelton, Washington and
daughter Rebecca (Marco) Rodriguez of Nyssa, Oregon. Grandchildren: David (Jamie) Dobson, Shelton Washington; Sarah Dobson,
Shelton, Washington; Jarad LaMarsh, Payette, Idaho; Victoria Rodriguez, Nyssa, Oregon; and Francesca Rodriguez, Nyssa, Oregon.

Strahn,
age 65 of
Yarmouth,
passed
away
on
December
1,
2015.
He was a
source of
strength and support to those
around him throughout his life,
especially during his 18 year
battle with cancer, and his spirit was unbreakable to the end.
John was born in Japan and
moved to the United States at
the age of five. He was a 1968
graduate of Burlington High
School. On May 12, 1973 he
married Lana Koger in Burlington. John was an electrician
by trade and worked at Case
New Holland for over 30 years.
Upon his “retirement,” he initially focused his energy on his
business, Reboot Computer
Service, and then returned to
work full-time as the Maintenance and Facilities Manager
at Hawkeye Pedershaab.
John was well known for
his giving nature and friendly
personality. He could construct
anything, fix everything, and if
he couldn’t fix it, then the odds
were high it wasn’t fixable. He
had a thirst for knowledge and
was a jack-of-all-trades. Family
and friends were the most important part of John’s life, and
his greatest happiness came
from spending time with those
he loved. He created a paradise for his grandchildren and
spent numerous hours riding
four wheelers, fishing, swimming in the pond, and teaching
them life lessons. He was, and
will remain, their hero.
Throughout his life, John
taught us many important
things: leave things better than
you found them, slow down, do
it right the first time, enjoy life,
and whiskey never hurts.
John was preceded in death
by his parents, Carl and Kuni
Strahn, and one brother, Mike.
He is survived by his wife,
Lana, of Yarmouth; his daughter, Brooke Strahn-Koller,
and son-in-law, Jake Koller,
of Coralville; his son, Jesse
Strahn, and daughter-in-law,
Kelly Strahn, of Collinsville,
Oklahoma; and three grandsons: Mason, Easton, and Sutton Koller, of Coralville.
John had an immense affection and appreciation of
animals and has established
memorials for the Des Moines
County Humane Society and
Heavenly Pet Sanctuary. No
services are scheduled at this
time but a celebration of life will
be announced at a later date.
John will most be remembered by the fact he always
contributed much more to life
and living than he took. His
determination, fight, and fervor
will continue to inspire those
who knew him.

Coalition targets IS
oil facilities in Syria
Associated Press
LONDON — As British jets
opened airstrikes against the
Islamic State group in Syria
and Germany prepared to
send troops and aircraft to the
region, Russia’s president called
on the world Thursday to brandish “one powerful fist” in the
fight against terrorism.
Yet even as international
efforts to defeat the extremists
grew, animosity between Russia
and Turkey only intensified.
Hours after Britain’s Parliament authorized military action
in Syria, its Tornado warplanes
struck oil fields in eastern Syria
that help finance IS.
“This strikes a very real
blow at the oil and the revenue
on which the Daesh terrorists
depend,” Defense Secretary
Michael Fallon told the BBC,
using the Arabic acronym for IS.
Both the U.S.-led coalition
and Russian warplanes have
struck the extremists’ oil facilities, and Russia has drawn
heated international attention
to the issue by accusing Turkish authorities of profiting from
oil trade with IS — allegations
Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan has denied.
The Russian allegations came
after last week’s downing by
Turkey of a Russian warplane
near the Syria-Turkey border.
Turkey insists the plane had
violated its airspace, but Russia
vehemently rejects that contention.

ECB stimulus falls
short of hype
House backs transportation bill
Tomorrow's allergy levels:
.1/low
Source: www.Pollen.com
FRANKFURT, Germany —
The European Central Bank
on Thursday ramped up efforts
stimulate the sluggish eurozone
economy, but the measures fell
far short of what investors had
expected, and stocks took a
painful tumble.
For weeks, ECB head Mario
Draghi had indicated the bank,
the chief monetary authority
for the 19 countries that use
the euro, would act decisively
to raise inflation and shield the
region from a global slowdown,
notably in China.
On Thursday, the bank cut
a key interest rate by less than
expected.
It also chose not to boost the
amount of government bonds
it buys each month through its
stimulus program, which aims
to help the economy by cutting
loan rates.
Instead, the ECB extended
its bond buying for six more
months at the same level —
until March 2017.
Analysts said Draghi might
have encountered pushback
from stimulus skeptics on the
25-member governing council.
With new projections from
ECB staff indicating the economy is growing, albeit gradually, Draghi may have been
persuaded to wait to see if the
region’s low inflation rate — the
bank’s chief concern — doesn’t
turn up decisively next year.
The main move was to cut the
interest rate on deposits from
commercial banks from minus
0.2 percent to minus 0.3 percent.
That is intended to push
banks to lend by imposing a
penalty on the cash they park at
the central bank.
By JOAN LOWY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON— The House
Thursday
overwhelmingly
approved a 5-year, $305 billion
bill that boosts highway and
transit spending and assures
states federal help will be available for major projects. Senate
approval was expected to follow
later in the day.
Each of Iowa’s four representatives voted for the bill, which
passed by a 359-65 vote. It
doesn’t include as much money
or last quite as long as many lawmakers and the Obama administration would have liked. Nor
does it resolve how to pay for
transportation programs in the
long term.
Despite that, the 1,300-page
bill was hailed by industry
and public officials as a major
accomplishment that will halt
the cycle of last-minute, shortterm fixes that have kept the
federal Highway Trust Fund teetering on the edge of insolvency
for much of the past eight years.
Republicans leaders can point
to the bill’s passage as evidence
of their ability to govern, and
President Barack Obama can
claim to have made progress on
addressing the nation’s aging
and congested infrastructure, a
major goal since the early days
of his administration. Lawmakers in both parties effusively
praised the bill as a model of
bipartisan cooperation that
didn’t give everyone everything
they wanted, but overall is an
important step forward.
The bill “proves to the American people that we can get
big things done,” said Rep. Bill
Shuster, chairman of the House
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The committee’s senior Democrat, Rep.
Peter DeFazio of Oregon, called
the measure “historic,” but cautioned that “it is a starting point,
not the end.”
A hallmark of the bill is the
creation of new programs to
focus federal aid on eliminating
bottlenecks and increasing the
capacity of highways designated
as major freight corridors. The
Transportation
Department
estimates the volume of freight
traffic will increase 45 percent
over the next 30 years.
A big shortcoming in the bill,
though, is how it’s all financed.
The main source of revenue for
transportation is the trust fund,
which comes mostly from the
18.4-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax.
That tax hasn’t been raised since
1993 even though transportation
spending has increased. But
raising the gas tax is viewed by
many lawmakers as too politically risky.
To make up the shortfall, the
bill uses $70 billion in mostly
budget gimmicks, including one
that would move $53 billion
from the Federal Reserve Bank’s
capital account to the general
treasury. It’s counted as new
money on paper, but actually is
just a transfer of funds from one
government account to another,
federal budget experts said.
Other items in the bill also
don’t include the means to pay
for them, including more than
$10 billion over five years for
Amtrak and other rail programs,
$12 billion for mass transit and
$1 billion for vehicle safety programs. The money for those programs remains subject to annual
spending decisions by Congress.
Among the bill’s losers are
large banks, which would
receive lower dividends from
the Federal Reserve, with the
savings used for transportation
programs. Banking officials
complained banks shouldn’t be
asked to foot the bill for highways and bridges.
The airline and cruise ship
industries complained their passengers are being asked to pay
for improvements unrelated to
their travel.
The bill ties customs fees to

Taxes: Income tax
By MARY WEINAND
Iowa State University Extension & Outreach
What it is: When we receive our paycheck each pay period, we
often are surprised at how much of our check goes toward taxes. So,
what is income tax and how is it used? Well, income tax is imposed
on financial income generated by all entities within government
jurisdictions. Income tax is a key source of revenue the government
uses to fund its activities and serve the public. By law, businesses
and individuals must file an income tax return every year to determine whether they owe any taxes or are eligible for a tax refund.
The U.S. income tax was established in 1913 as a way to raise
money for the federal government without burdening the average
household with the high living costs imposed by duties. Prior to
the income tax, a considerable portion of the government operating
income came from tariffs and those who advocated for free trade
believed ending tariffs allowed the American markets to develop
without obstruction.
How it works: Taxes for 2015 are collected in four different categories of filers (single; married/joint and widow or widower; married/
separate; and head of household) at seven different rates. The lowest,
10 percent, is charged to the lowest earners, with incremental rates
of 15 percent; 25 percent; 28 percent; 33 percent; 35 percent; and the
top rate, 39.6 percent.
Why it matters: One of the most frequently asked questions is about
tax penalties for health insurance coverage. The penalty can never
exceed the national average cost for a bronze plan, though. The IRS
announced in Revenue Procedure 2015-15 the maximum 2015 penalty would be $2,484 for a single individual or $12,420 for a family of
five. The easiest way to sign up for a health plan under the Affordable
Care Act is to go to the online health insurance marketplace for Iowa
at HealthCare.gov. If you’re not ready to enroll right now, you can get
more information online, over the phone or in person.
Who should care: If you have children, there are special tax credits
you can claim, so be sure to take advantage of them. For 2015, the
maximum Earned Income Tax Credit amount available is $3,359 for
taxpayers filing jointly with one child; $5,548 for two children; $6,242
for three or more children (up from $6,143 in 2014) and $503 for no
children. Phaseouts are based on filing status and number of children and begin at $8,240 for single taxpayers with no children and
$18,110 for single taxpayers with one or more children.

So you survived another Black
Friday, and now all your fabulous finds need wrapping.
It’s just a hunch, but we’re
guessing that’s not your favorite
part of the holidays.
Relax. The wrap artists at
Apropos Classique Gifts & Cards
in Wadsworth, Ohio, are about to
make the job a little easier.
The shop is renowned for its
gift wrapping, which is complimentary with purchases there.
Owner Sally Shantz and longtime employee Ramona Britenriker have developed a trick or
two over the years, which they
shared with us earlier this week.
So put on some Christmas
tunes, and let’s get wrapping.
After you get home

good-quality wrapping paper. It

untold aggravation.
A weighted, desk-type tape
dispenser is another valuable
tool, because it lets you pull and
rip the tape with just one hand
while you’re holding the paper
in place with the other. Apropos uses clear cellophane tape,
which yields a prettier package
than frosted tape.
The shop also uses unwired

floral ribbon, which can be purchased by the bolt at craft stores
and is cheaper per yard than
gift-wrapping ribbon. Britenriker likes ribbon that’s a little
stiff, because it holds bow loops
better.
Get on your feet
Lots of people wrap gifts
while sitting on a floor, but it’s
better to stand if you can. You
can reach everything easily that
way, and you won’t strain your
back the way you might when
you’re hunching over gifts on the
ground.
A table or counter works fine.
Take a few moments to clear off
your work surface before you
start, so you’ll have plenty of
space to unroll wrapping paper.
If you’re using a kitchen surface, be sure to wipe it clean.
Crumbs and grease do not make
attractive embellishments.
and Britenriker said.
They recommend measuring
the gift before you cut, adding
just a little extra on all sides. You
don’t need a measuring tape; you
can just wrap a string around the
gift, lengthwise and widthwise.
Apropos cuts paper in
advance to fit the various sizes
of boxes it uses all the time. If
you have more than one gift of
the same size, cutting the paper
for all of them at once will save
you time.
Wrap in stages
When you’re wrapping a number of gifts, it’s easier to do it
assembly-line style instead of
wrapping each gift from start to
finish.
Start by putting the gifts in
boxes lined with tissue paper, if
boxes are needed. Wrap everything next, then add the ribbons
and finally add the bows and
tags.
How can you keep the recipients straight? Affix a small
sticky note with the recipient’s Tackle the odd stuff

things in boxes, but sometimes
that’s not possible.
Measure up
For oddly shaped items,
Most people make the mistake Shantz recommends wrapping
of cutting a piece of wrapping first with bubble wrap or tissue
paper that’s too big for the gift, paper, and then wrapping in
and then they either have to trim gift paper. The inner wrapping
it during the wrapping process softens the edges, so you’re less
or struggle with the bulk, Shantz likely to tear the wrapping paper.
Gift bags are another option,
but those should be pretty, too.
Shantz places the gift in the bag
and then covers it with three or
more pieces of tissue paper —
usually two of one color and a
third in a complementary color
or pattern. She grasps each piece
of tissue in the center of one edge
and pushes it gently down into
the bag, so the edges stick out
the top.
Put a bow on it
Ribbons and bows add that
extra accent that makes a gift
special.
For smaller packages, a simple shoelace bow made from
wide ribbon is all that’s needed
to dress up a package.
For larger packages, you might
want to try your hand at creating
a florist bow. Britenriker shows
how in an instructional video on
Ohio.com.
‘Plastic surgeon of fashion’ offers tips for holiday style
BALTIMORE — Want to make an
impact at your upcoming holiday soiree?
Famed designer Nicole Miller has you
covered.
Miller, the self-professed plastic surgeon of the fashion industry — her
clothes are known for making women’s
figures look better — caught up with us
at a recent boutique opening and shared
her tips for nailing the right holiday party
ensemble.
“A woman can do a lot with it (embellished tops) — wear skyscraper pants, a
skirt or jeans,” Miller said. “I also like to
add a fur vest to a cocktail dress or gown.
It looks really cool.”
Up&
As far as accessories are concerned,
Miller suggests taking a minimal
approach.
“Don’t wear too much,” she said.
“Maybe wear big earrings or a statement
necklace.”
Miller knows what she’s talking about.
Women flock to her collection, including
celebs such as Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston,
Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Ciara, Tyra
Banks, Emily Blunt and Taraji P. Henson.
Miller is finalizing her fall collection,
which she will showcase in New York
this February. She said she’s switched the
theme of the collection three times so far.
“I went through a lot of crazy things.
I played with the themes of old hotels
in New York City, South American art,
homeless. I nixed all of them,” she said,
adding that she’ll have everything decided
this month.
A fashion novice might think a 90-day
turnaround for a collection could be a
daunting task. But not for Miller, a master
of the design process. It was Miller, after
all, who created her iconic dress silhouette of a bodycon side-ruched sheath.
“They’re nip and tuck dresses,” she
said. “My dresses hid all the problem
areas.”
Miller thinks a major problem facing
the fashion industry is “fast-fashion” — or
cheaply made clothes that are easily disposable.
“I think it’s bad for the environment.
People are making too much stuff,” she
said. “People instead should buy more
investment clothing.”
What can we expect from Miller in the
future?
“More!” she said with a smile. “Our
shoes and handbags are doing well. We’ll
have more menswear. I don’t like to be
bored. I love to be doing stuff.”
However, we probably won’t see Miller
on another reality show. Miller appeared
on the Sundance Channel series “All On
The Line” with fashion editor Joe Zee in
2011.
“It was fun for the moment,” she said. “I
love Joe Zee.”
Miller said she was too self-conscious
about the show.
“It came out four years ago, and I haven’t watched it,” she said.

Apropos has a gift-wrapping
station at its store, where everything needed to produce beautiful packages is within easy
reach.
Even if you don’t have that
luxury in your own home, you
still can take a cue from the
shop’s setup by keeping all your
supplies together so you don’t
have to do a lot of hunting and
gathering before you wrap. Probably the easiest way is to use
a container big enough to hold
everything you need — wrapping paper, tissue paper, tape,
scissors, ribbon, tags, boxes and
anything else you normally use.
It’s a good idea to keep scissors, tape and pens with your
supplies so they’ll always be
handy. Apropos even has separate scissors for cutting wrapping paper and cellophane for
gift baskets, since cutting paper
dulls scissors. The scissors are
marked so employees won’t confuse them.
The biggest fear people have
about buying a live Christmas
tree is fire, Myers said. And
while that is a risk, it is one that
can be minimized with proper
placement and care of the tree.
When bringing the tree home,
it may be necessary to cut an
inch off the base to facilitate
water absorption. If the tree
is fresh-cut and taken straight
home to be put up, that step
won’t be required, Myers said.
But if there will be any delay in
putting the tree in the stand and
decorating it, he recommends
putting it into a 5-gallon bucket
filled with water.
Any pre-cut tree, whether
from a farm or a lot, that was
not kept watered prior to sale
will require this step.
Letting the tree run out of
water compounds fire risk not
only by allowing the tree to
become dry, but because sap
movement in the trunk will
prevent the tree from taking up
water even after the basin is
refilled.
Without water, the based of
the tree where it was cut will
become plugged with sap. And
unlike when the tree is brought
home, taking an inch off the
trunk once the tree is decorated
isn’t exactly practical.
In addition to keeping the tree
watered, setting it up away from
heat sources will help prevent
drying that could lead to fire.
Even with good care and
placement, a live tree eventually
will dry out, lose its color and
drop its needles. Six weeks —
from just after Thanksgiving
until just after New Year’s
Day — is the typical expected
life span of a good-quality and
well-cared-for tree, Myers said.
Pre-cut trees will have a shorter
lifespan than fresh cut, he said.
Disposal options include taking trees to the dump, burning in
places where that is permitted
and can be done safely, or using
as fish habitat in a pond.
Another, Myers said, is yard
mounting against a steel post
to provide bird habitat for the
winter. Though rare, he said
there have been instances where
those trees will take root.

Reportedly, efforts are afoot to
keep this program going elsewhere
— but for now, “Finale Part Two:
America’s Next Top Model Is ... ”
puts a capper on the series and
names the person who might end up
being America’s Last Top Model, at
least in terms of this show. Though
she has other ventures, host and
judge Tyra Banks is likely to bid
some sort of farewell to the audience,
given that their viewership has kept
the franchise going for 12 years.

American Diner
Revival
8 p.m. on FOOD
Chef Amanda Freitag and renovation ace Ty Pennington travel to
Kearny, N.J., on a quest to help a
diner called The Greeks, which has
kept locals happy for nearly half a
century. More recently, though, it
has run into hard times, as its (literally) greasy spoon fare has fallen out
of favor with more health-conscious
diners. Amanda and Ty have less
than 48 hours to give the place a
transformation, including an updated yet still tasty menu, in the new
“Degreasing the Greeks.”

Woman weighs the
price of her marriage
of convenience
DEAR ABBY: After a
marriage of many years, I Dear Abby
have come to realize mine
simply has become one of
convenience. My husband
is a negative and controlling person who gripes
about everything and anything. He has developed no
friendships or interests of
his own, and I have to battle with him even to have a
day to myself.
How many other women By JEANNE PHILLIPS
Universal Press
are like me, stuck in a loveSyndicate
less marriage without the
resources to live on my
own — at least in the lifestyle I am accustomed to? Any advice for me?
— IN LIMBO OUT WEST
DEAR IN LIMBO: If my mail is any indication, you have lots of company in your boat. Many
women stay because they are afraid to live alone or
see nothing better on the horizon. No third party
can or should answer this question for you.
Make a list of the pros and cons of your marriage, tally them up and weigh the pros against
how you feel about the life you are living now. A
licensed counselor may be able to steer you in the
right direction — which may entail marriage counseling and/or consulting a lawyer and/or your CPA
about what other options you may have.
DEAR ABBY: I’m a busy sixth-grade girl who
has played piano for seven years. But my busy
schedule gets in the way of piano because I have
to prep for competitions. I love the piano, but I still
need to keep up with my school schedule.
If I tell my grandma I want to quit piano, she’ll
be disappointed. I already quit violin in orchestra.
So this means my music life will be over. Should I
still do it or not?

Oprah Winfrey is starting
her own book imprint and kicking it off with an inspirational
memoir.
F l a t iron
Books
announced
Thursday
Winfrey’s “The
Life You Want”
is scheduled
to be published in January 2017 and Winfrey
will show how
“anyone can
put their life on a new trajectory.”
Winfrey’s imprint doesn’t have
a name yet, but the company will
feature several nonfiction works
each year. Winfrey already has
generated numerous best-sellers
in the past 20 years through her
TV and online book club choices.
Winfrey said in a statement
she hopes her story “inspires
other people to live the highest, fullest expression of themselves.” She resisted writing a
memoir in the past, canceling a
planned release in 1993.
“What I Know for Sure,” a collection of her “O’’ magazine columns, was published by Flatiron
in 2014.

DEAR MUSICIAN: Unless your music causes
your grades to drop, continue the piano for as long
as you can. There may come a time when other
things must take precedence, but you never can
tell how beneficial your musical education may be
when you’re an adult.
You’re an intelligent young woman, so let me
share a true story with you. A man here in Los
Angeles studied classical piano for many years. He
had talent but didn’t consider himself good enough
to make it his career. He married, went to law
school, passed the bar — and wound up becoming
one of the most successful lawyers in town representing musicians and other entertainers.
You never can tell where life may lead, so the
more talents you nourish, the wider your options
will be.
DEAR ABBY: My husband demands we give
our first child the name Junior as his legal first
name, supposedly to honor the baby’s paternal
grandpa, who also is called Junior.
I vehemently am opposed to it because Junior
is a title, not a name, and also because Grandpa
is a notorious drunk, criminal and adulterer. I am
open to any other name my husband may want,
but he won’t budge. Who should win out?

Michael Flatley’s ailing
legs apparently will be healthy
enough for one last American
tour.
The
former
“Riverdance”
star
said Thursday
his farewell
show, “Lord
of the Dance:
Dangerous
Games,” will Flatley
strike
out
on the road
Feb. 19 and hit such cities as Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas and Los Angeles after a stint
on Broadway ends early next year.
“I haven’t performed in America for years,” Flatley said in a
statement, “and we are really
looking forward to ending this
tour and my time on stage with
a bang.”
Flatley currently is starring
in an eight-week engagement on
Broadway at the Lyric Theatre
that will run through Jan. 3.
The tour will mark his official
retirement from dancing. He’s said
he suffers from spinal, knee, foot
and rib pain — the result of years
of Irish step-dancing infused with
tap and modern dance.

Experience needed
By FRANK STEWART
Tribune Content Agency
Zits
Beetle Bailey
Baby Blues
Experience is required to
make anything — except mistakes. At 3NT, South would have
needed either fine card sense or
the experience of having seen a
similar situation. (Try to find a
winning play yourself.)
South won the first spade
with the ace and led the queen of
hearts, winning, and a heart to
dummy’s 10. East took the jack
and returned a spade.
South won in dummy and
knew he couldn’t set up and cash
another heart trick. He tried the
A-K and a third club, hoping for
a 3-3 break, but East took two
clubs and the ace of hearts, and
South also lost a diamond. Down
one.
South should lead a low heart
to dummy’s 10 at trick two.
If East ducks, dummy leads
another heart, and South is sure
of two hearts, three spades, two
clubs and two diamonds.
If instead East takes the jack
of hearts to return a spade,
South wins with the queen and
overtakes his queen of hearts
with the king to set up three
heart tricks: 10 in all. The king of
spades is a dummy entry.
