52 FACES: EVERYONE HAS A STORY
“
I like to think that any time I spend with my stamps is an educational moment.”
— Richard Snider
Local collector looks
to keep pastime alive.
By BOB HANSEN
for The Hawk Eye
There was a time when stamp collecting
was a window to the world. The tiny, highly
detailed, engraved reproductions of famous
people, distant places and exotic creatures
could transport the imagination to any
place and any time.
But times change,
tastes and technology
evolve, and today, the
magic of stamps is kept
alive by a slowly diminishing cadre of collectors who still find
magic in these small
of 2015
slips of paper.
It is estimated there are about 5 million
stamp collecting hobbyists in the U.S. —
down from the 25 million who collected
in the 1950s. The holdouts include Richard
Snider, whose interest in stamps mirrors a
wide ranging interest in life.
Today, the 71-year-old Burlington native
continues to build a philatelist collection
that began 60 years ago as a project to earn
a Boy Scout merit badge.
The merit badge long ago may have vanished in Snider’s somewhat cluttered living
room, but the stamp collection very much is
evident in stacks of collector’s notebooks.
And given the opportunity, the retired Murray Iron draftsman is quick to explain the
allure of his hobby.
“Look at these,” he enthused as he
opened a book of well-ordered stamps.
“You can learn so much history, geography
and nature just studying these — and they
are so damn beautiful. I like to think that
any time I spend with my stamps is an educational moment.”
The number and variety of stamps produced by governments throughout the
world make it impossible for anyone to
amass an all-inclusive collection, so many
collectors concentrate on a given category
of stamps.

Ecology, faith mix for many
Evangelical: ‘When

WASHINGTON — As a
group, the most religious Americans are less likely than others
in the U.S. to trust the science
of global warming. Yet one
group of faithful Americans not
only believes the threat is real
but also feels obliged to help
save Earth’s climate, an analysis by the Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs
Research and Yale University
shows.
“The Bible has always been
clear about the call to care for
the world that God has created
and to love our neighbors,” said
Rachel Lamb, 26, a national
organizer for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action and the
daughter of a Baptist minister.
She noted the poor will suffer
most from the consequences
of a warming climate, making
it particularly compelling to
Christians.
“When you see something
like climate change, we can’t
ignore it,” Lamb said. “We have
to act.”
As an international conference in Paris enters its second
week in hopes of agreement on
a plan to curtail global warming, Lamb and others like her
see the issue as more than a
secular one for government
leaders.

President seeks to
reassure nation in
prime-time address.
By JULIE PACE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a rare
Oval Office address, President
Barack Obama vowed Sunday
night the U.S. will overcome a
new phase
of the terror threat
seeking
to “poison
the minds”
of
people
here
and
throughout
the world,
as he sought Obama
to reassure
Americans shaken by recent
attacks in Paris and California.
“I know that after so much
war, many Americans are asking whether we are confronted
by a cancer that has no immediate cure,” he said, speaking
from a lectern in his West
Wing office. “The threat from
terrorism is real, but we will
overcome it.”
The president’s speech followed Wednesday’s shooting
in San Bernardino, Calif., that
killed 14 people and wounded
21. Authorities said a couple
carried out the attack, and the
wife pledged allegiance to the
Islamic State and its leader in a
Facebook post.
Obama said while there was
no evidence the shooters were
directed by a terror network
overseas or part of a broader
plot, “the two of them had gone
down the dark path of radicalization.”
“This was an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent
people,” he said in the 13-minute address.
In speaking from the Oval
Office, Obama turned to a tool
of the presidency he has used
infrequently. His decision to
speak in prime time reflected
the White House’s concern his
message on the recent attacks
hasn’t broken through, particularly in the midst of a heated
presidential campaign.
Yet Obama’s speech likely
was to leave his critics unsatisfied. He announced no significant shift in U.S. strategy and
offered no new policy prescriptions for defeating IS, underscoring his confidence in his
current approach and the lack
of easy options for countering
the extremist group.
“Nothing that happened in
the speech tonight is going to
assuage people’s fears,” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican presidential candidate,
said on Fox News.
Obama called for cooperation between private companies and law enforcement
to ensure potential attackers
can’t use technology to evade
detection. He also urged Congress to pass new force authorization for military actions
underway against IS in Iraq
and Syria and also to approve
legislation to bar guns from
being sold to people prohibited
from flying on planes in the
U.S. for terrorist concerns.
And he implored Americans
to avoid turning against Muslims at home, saying the Islamic
State is driven by a desire
to spark a war between the
West and Islam. Still, he called
on Muslims in the U.S. and
throughout the world to take up
the cause of fighting extremism.
The spread of radical Islam
into American communities,
he said, is “a real problem that
Muslims must confront without excuse.”
The president’s most specific policy announcement
was to order the departments
of State and Homeland Security to review the fiance visa
program the female shooter
in California used to enter the
U.S. In his remarks, Obama
referred to a visa waiver program Congress also is reviewing, but the White House later
clarified he meant the fiance
program
He also reiterated his call
for broader gun control legislation, saying no matter how
effective law enforcement
and intelligence agencies are,
they cannot identify every
would-be shooter. He called it
a matter of national security to
prevent potential killers from
getting guns.
“What we can do, and must
do, is make it harder for them
to kill,” he said.
Obama stands little chance
of getting the Republican-led
Congress to agree to any gun
control measures. On Thursday, the Senate rejected legislation barring people suspected by the government of
being terrorists from purchasing firearms. Gun rights advocates said such a ban would
violate the rights of people
who haven’t been convicted of
crimes.
Congress also has been
unable to coalesce behind any
plan to authorize more force
against IS, and the administration’s proposal has languished
since February.
Obama
repeated
his
long-standing opposition to an
American-led ground war in
the Middle East and made no
mention of the more aggressive action others have suggested, including a enforcing a
no-fly zone and safe corridors
in Syria.
“Our success won’t depend
on tough talk or abandoning
our values or giving in to fear,”
he said. “Instead, we will prevail by being strong and smart,

90 percent GOP.

Sioux City Journal
ORANGE CITY — In an area
where many surnames begin
with Van, and bakeries offer
Dutch letter pastries, residents
of Sioux County overwhelmingly
vote Republican.
Sioux County was settled by
people of Dutch origin more
than 100 years ago; Orange City,
the county seat, was named
for William of Orange, a Dutch
prince. Sioux County residents,

most Republican county in the
state, said Jeff Taylor, a professor
at Dordt College in Sioux Center.
“(The county) is not only
Republican, but super-conservative Republican. ... You can’t
get more Republican than Sioux
County,” Taylor said.
That’s why Republican presidential candidates frequently
campaign in the county’s two
largest cities — Sioux Center
and Orange City. When Republican presidential nominee Mitt
Romney was competing down
the 2012 stretch against Democratic President Barack Obama,
he staged a large event at North-

to try to seal the deal with voters.
Holly Van Zee of Maurice
attended that Romney event.
She also saw Republicans John
McCain and Mike Huckabee
during the 2008 presidential
election cycle. Van Zee lamented
missing an Oct. 30 event in
Orange City that drew four GOP
presidential candidates and, not
surprisingly, an estimated 1,000
people eager to hear them.
Van Zee said her family,
which isn’t originally from Sioux
County, had older relatives who
were Republicans, Democrats
and independents. Since moving to Sioux County in 1996,

she’s come to vote primarily for
Republicans, with a rare exception for voting for Democratic
Gov. Chet Culver in 2006.
Van Zee likes the Republican
principles of smaller government.
“I don’t want the government
telling me what I have to do or
can’t do,” she said.
Van Zee said she takes a firm
stance on defending the sanctity
of life, which means she supports
the typical Republican principle
against abortion. But she noted

1,648 active Democratic voter

AG reins in Texas School Board
Attorney general offers
most restrictive ruling
for oft-controversial
entity.
By WILL WEISSERT
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas
attorney general said Friday
the state’s board of education
cannot tell local school districts
what textbooks to adopt for their
classrooms, interpreting existing state law as limiting the often
controversial board’s authority.
Republican Ken Paxton stated
in an opinion the board has
those powers “specifically delegated by statute” and it “may not
substitute its judgment for the
lawful exercise of those powers
and duties by the trustees.”
The board’s 15 members sanction textbooks for use statewide
in a process marred for years by
ideological fights over lessons
on subjects, including evolution,
climate change and the influence of biblical figures, such as
Moses, on America’s founding
fathers. Texas has 5.2 million
public school students, a textbook market so large, edits made
for the board can affect what’s
published in other states.
But, in 2011, the state legislature approved a law giving
school districts the option of
adopting classroom materials
Printed with soy ink

state curriculum standards.
She said she was worried local
adoption of classroom materials
could undermine that.

Roy White testifies in 2014 before the Texas Board of Education during the final public hearing
raising objections to proposed history books, in Austin, Texas. The Texas attorney general issued
an opinion Friday stating the state’s board of education cannot tell local school districts what
textbooks to adopt for their classrooms. The ruling could soften longstanding ideological battles
over how history, science and religion are taught in America’s second-largest state.

to ensure that, at the local level,
appropriate process and safeguards exist with regard to the
adoption and use of instructional
materials by a public school,” she
wrote when asking for the attorney general’s opinion in June.
She also wrote: “With the
greater flexibility public schools
are afforded in purchasing
instructional materials, quality
control and public input to the
instructional materials process
may suffer.”

CITY & REGION
Burlington
Crossing,
Steamboat
Days pact
lead agenda
By KATHLEEN SLOAN
[email protected]
The Burlington City Council will meet
today, with a public hearing, the final
adoption of an ordinance and four resolutions on the agenda.
The meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. at city
hall. It’s an open meeting, and the public
is welcome.
Burlington Crossing
The public hearing is about an offer to
purchase and develop the 28.5-acre site
once referred to as the Flint Hills Manor
site but now called Burlington Crossing.
It is at the corner of Roosevelt Avenue
and Agency Street.
Local businessmen Randy Winegard
and Scott Spear propose to pay $2.4 million for the property, the same amount in
the Dial Realty development agreement,
which expired in September.
Unlike the Dial agreement, $1.2 million
is to be paid up front, the closing 90 days
after the city council approves the purchase-development agreement, which
may occur after the public hearing.
The $1.2 million balance, according to
the agreement, would be paid within two
years or when 50 percent of the land is
developed, whichever comes first.
The developers are seeking a 12-year
property tax rebate as part of the deal.
The first six years, 100 percent of the
property tax would be rebated, and the
second six years, 80 percent would be
rebated. According to the agreement,
the total amount to be rebated will not
exceed $10 million.
The city will have given 30 days’ notice
by today, as required by law, it is considering a purchase and development offer of
city-owned property. Competing offers, if
any, also will be heard today.
A related matter also is on the agenda,
a resolution to buy a lot from Walgreens
for $70,650. The parcel is needed to create
an entrance to Burlington Crossing from
Agency Street, in line with the entrance
to Burlington Commons, the shopping
center across the street.
In the Winegard-Spear development
agreement, it states the land will be sold
to them for about $16,000.
Salter School
Miller-Valentine Group and Landover
Corp. plan to raze Salter School, now
owned by Pro-Plumbing, and erect a
60-unit senior low-income housing development.
The final adoption of an ordinance is
on the agenda, which changes the zoning
of 705 Maple St. from general commercial
to multi-family residential. It also adds a
planned unit development overlay zone.
A PUD allows the city to waive underlying zone requirements. In this case, the
developers want to double the number of
units the underlying zone allows.
Burlington Steamboat Days
A three-year contract with Burlington
Steamboat Days expired in September,
and a resolution for a one-year contract is
on the agenda. It caps public works and
maintenance staff to 270 hours work and
their available overtime hours to $5,000.
The contract reflects the two parties
will try to meet the new time and money
limits, to be renegotiated at the end of
that year.
Complete Streets
Complete Streets is a city planning
concept studied for two years. A group
comprised of two city council members
and city planning staff, led by Southeast
Iowa Regional Planning Commission
planner, Zach James, created a 10-part
guide, which concludes with implementation methods.
James asked the city council to pass
a Complete Streets resolution at the last
action meeting, but some city council
members and city staff said it needed
more study and planning.
A resolution adopting the same 10-part
document is on the agenda.
Other action items
• A resolution to borrow $908,000
from the State Revolving Fund for
sewer separation work in the Cascade
Basin will be considered.
• A resolution to apply for a $400,000
Environmental Protection Agency grant
to clean up “numerous brownfields” in
the city is to be considered.
• A resolution to apply for a $200,000
EPA grant to clean up the brownfield
at 1106 Washington St. — the former
Dresser Rand site — is to be considered.

erry’s Main Lunch diner served an unfamiliar
clientele Sunday as it became a film set for an
independent movie.
Filmmaker and screenwriter Anita George
brought her cast and crew to the Main Street staple to shoot scenes for her upcoming short film,
“The Gift of the Magpie.”
It follows two cooks who try to swindle an
elderly woman and her blind daughter on Christmas Eve 1934.
George, whose sister lives in West Burlington,
filmed “Field Trip” in Burlington in 2003 and has
wanted to come back since.
“With the time period and set in the Midwest, it
seemed natural to come back,” the Grinnell native
said.
George had her sister scout the area for a 1930s
set and a merry-go-round, which the woman and
daughter in the film operate.
George had her eyes fixed on Jerry’s early in
the project and had been working more than a
year to find the other locations, including the
Hazel Grace Pierson Carousel Pavilion at the Midwest Old Threshers in Mount Pleasant.
“It’s very exciting this is happening for us,” Jerry’s owner Hannah Garnobst said. “Anything for
an independent film.”
The film will feature actresses Helen Slayton-Hughes and Pamela Forrest. Slayton-Hughes
is known for her work on television’s “Parks and
Recreation” and “Burning Love,” while Forrest is
an L.A. Ovation award winner and Second City
alum.
“I’ve known Anita for a long time, and I like the
script. I think the merry-go-round had something
to do with that,” Slayton-Hughes said.
Forrest and Slayton-Hughes were impressed

with what Burlington had to offer.
“Burlington is really a beautiful town, and I
hope to come back and bring my family some
day,” Forrest said.
George recruited Iowa actors Milton Sever of
Grinnell and Adam Osterhaus of Grundy Center
to star as the crooks. They were not on Sunday’s
set.
“It’s so nice to come back to my home, creatively,” George said. “I get to show Hollywood
Midwest filmmaking.”
George recruited the production company
dphilms from the Quad Cities for her film crew.
Filming for “The Gift of the Magpie” will
continue today and Tuesday in Mount Pleasant.
George said the Old Threshers carousel there will
be used as the one the mother-daughter combo
operate.
Sounds of Christmas fill Old Stone Church

[email protected]
SPERRY — Tucked away
east of Sperry is the Old Stone
Church. The structure was
built as a Baptist Church in
1847 from stones quarried
about a mile away.
Twenty years ago, the
unused building was looking
rough, and a group of neighbors decided to clean it. Work
was going smoothly enough the
volunteers created a board and
decided to open the church for
a Christmas celebration.
“This is the only time of year
we open the doors, except for
weddings,” board member Marilyn Miller said.
On Sunday, a Christmas service was staged for the 20th
time. A new group leads each
service, and the Mediapolis
Youth Community Group was
tapped this year. The interdenominational teen group tries
to motivate Mediapolis-area
youths to become devoted followers of Christ.
“We try to get someone
different every year, and we

Members of the Mediapolis Youth Community Group perform for guests during the old-fashioned Christmas service Sunday at the Old Stone Church near Sperry.
in advance,” member Eunice
Stone said.
The half-hour service featured music by the youth group
and Biblical readings. After-
ward, cookies and drinks were
served.
“Over the 20 years, I think
I’ve made over 1,300 gingerbread men for this service,”
Miller said.
Throughout the year, the
board and volunteers work
to keep the church usable. At
Christmastime, volunteers and
board members who have died
since the previous service are
recognized, and a candle is lit
in their honor.
Furniture original to the
19th-century church, including the pews and altar, still are
used. But deterioration isn’t
avoidable.
“We’ve gone through three
roofs before we put this metal
one on, and the floors are all
new, too,” said board president
Charles Powers. He said the
group is set to replace the front
doors. The current ones were
installed in 1915.
Minor upgrades have been
added over the years. Light for
Sunday’s service was supplied
by three lantern candles from
the ceiling and sunlight coming
through the windows. Space
heaters have been mounted to
the walls, but no microphone
hookup has been used.
The Old Stone Church is on
the National Register of Historic Places. The board maintains the land and cemetery
adjacent to the church where
some tombstones date to the
1850s.
Illinois survey shows not all backseat passengers are buckling up
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — In Illinois, everyone inside a passenger
car is required to wear a safety
belt. But surveys by the state
department of transportation
show compliance has room for
improvement.
Three years after passage of a
state law including backseat pas-
sengers in the state’s mandatory
seatbelt measure, a DOT survey
shows only 84.9 percent of backseat passengers are wearing seatbelts, an increase of just seven
percentage points since 2013. A
separate survey earlier this year
revealed usage by drivers and
front-seat passengers at an alltime high of 95.2 percent.
“Too many preventable injuries and fatalities continue to
happen to passengers in the
backseat,” said Jared Thornley,
Illinois director of traffic safety.
“Increasing seat belt use means
fewer deaths and serious injuries.
It’s that simple.”
Illinois passed a primary seat

Eight people were arrested in

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The
need for road salt appears to
have helped melt Gov. Bruce
Rauner’s resolve — at least temporarily — to stand firm against
spending any state money without an overall deal to solve the
state’s budget impasse.
The Republican governor
stressed “public safety” —
including snow-busting road salt
with winter’s approach — as a
to salt and police training, he sought money
for postage, federal
funding for adult education programs, operational expenses for the
comptroller and funds
for contractors to handle property rental and
maintenance of government offices.
The Senate returns
to Springfield today to take up
the matter. If approved , Rauner
plans to sign it, and Illinois cities and counties will get $583
million in remitted motor fuel
tax revenue, $340 million in “use
tax” money collected on purchases from out of state and $154
million for emergency-dispatch
centers.
In addition, $1 billion will go to
pay lottery prizes for winners of
more than $600.
“This bill was a compromise,”
Rauner said. “It does add a bit to
our deficit spending, but in the
spirit of compromise — obviously the Democrats, the speaker’s caucus, would love to spend
far more than what we’re spending right now.”
The governor’s office refused
to confirm or detail what he
sought in the measure. But the
Democrats’ analysis shows the
governor’s requests included
$99 million for mental health
centers and nursing homes, $84
million for property rental and
maintenance and $62 million for
veterans homes as well as $105
million for state police and prisons operations and road salt for
the Transportation Department.

Sandra Petroshius, board

Past efforts to restore the
library included a 2011 recommendation from then-Mayor

Petroshius said the newest proposal differs from others in that
the focus on Bradbury will be

Petroshius called Bradbury

CHICAGO — About 200 protesters demonstrated in downtown Chicago Sunday, calling for
Mayor Rahm Emanuel to resign.
It was the latest demonstration
since the release of documents
showing police officers’ accounts
of the 2014 killing of a black teenager differed greatly from what
was captured on dashcam video.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said
he hopes the sight of protesters
holding a disciplined and non-violent march will prompt the city to
“dispense justice and fairness all
across the city.”
Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH

Loop counting to 16, signifying
the number of times officer Jason

Jackson said the newly

misrepresented the events the
night of McDonald’s death. Jackson reiterated his call for “a full,
thorough investigation with subpoena power” and said it’s time to
escalate the protests.
Van Dyke has been charged
with first-degree murder. Police
fought for months to keep the public from seeing the dashcam video
but released it before Thanksgiving facing a court deadline and
only hours after Van Dyke was
charged with murder.
Despite a $5 million settlement

Meanwhile, the Chicago Police
Department’s interim superintendent is warning officers they
face discipline if they don’t make
certain the video and the audio of
their squad car dashboard cameras are working.
The department was criticized
harshly when it reported the

Dyke’s dashcam recording. Days
later, the city released four more
dashcam videos from other squad
cars at the scene — none of which
included audio.
Interim police chief John

done random checks of dashcams. When they’ve found technical problems preventing them
from working, they are disciplining officers who did not report
those problems to their supervisors.

a satellite collection of revenue

“Not all stamps were for

sent a telegram, a stamp proved
you had paid to send it, and if
you bought a box of cigars,
there were revenue stamps on
it. Patent medicines, alcohol
and cigarettes all had revenue
stamps.”
Snider’s passion for the miniature imprints is shared by a
small cadre of fellow hobbyists
at the Burlington Stamp Club
that meets monthly to discuss
collecting news and show off
their latest acquisitions. But
Snider worries about the hobby’s diminishing popularity.
“There does not seem to be
another generation of collectors coming along, and those
of us still around are getting
older,” he explained. “For
example, in October, the stamp

in getting started. But the turnout was not very good.
“I think the parents need to

“You have a melting pot of
conservative values and economics. You look at our economic result, it is probably
about as good as you get in the
Midwest,” Lundberg said.
Sioux County Democratic
Party Chairwoman Kim Van Es
said Republican politics have
taken hold in Sioux County due
to the high religiosity of residents, who vote for candidates
who oppose abortion rights and
gay marriage.
“A large number of people in
Sioux County are deeply religious. It is a huge part of their
lives, not just on Sundays. Unfortunately, a number of them have
a narrow scope of issues that
they think faith applies to,” Van
Es said.
Van Zee, 39, said her circle of
friends aren’t afraid to discuss
politics in daily life. She said
they’ve fleshed out their reasons
for supporting Republicans
beyond family and cultural tradition.
“There is a subculture of
us who really are having the
conversations. We are not just
straight party-line voters — ‘we
do it because our parents have
done it, we go to church because
our parent have always gone
to church.’ My generation and
younger are believing in being
part of the process and making
a decision on each issue, versus
just toeing the party line,” Van
Zee said.
Don Nelson of Orange City
said the chief reason he votes
Republican is because the party
platform opposes abortion. He
agreed with Van Zee people in
the county often discuss politics
in daily life.
Nelson relishes the chance
to see Republican candidates
coming to the county, and he
attended the recent Orange City
event featuring four candidates.

Sioux County Republican
Party Chairman Mark Lundberg
said having so many Republican voters is important not just
for local outcomes but also for
statewide races to offset eastern Iowa’s Democratic tilt. He
pointed with pride to the fact
Republican President George
W. Bush won Iowa in 2004 by
slightly more than 10,000 votes,
751,957 for Bush and 741,898

County’s 12,000-vote margin for
Bush.
“Sioux County by itself
can offset a (liberal) Johnson

The Sioux County Auditor’s
Office, which oversees elections, said it isn’t possible to
quantify how many people vote

Lundberg and Taylor said the

Ecology

The AP-NORC and Yale analysis of Americans’ environmental
attitudes identified nine distinct
segments of the U.S. population,
each with a different relationship
with the environment. Members
of one group, called the “Religious Greens,” are among those
most likely to attend church at
least once a week. A majority
of this group trusts its religious
beliefs over scientific explanations when the two conflict.
At the same time, nine in 10 of
them believe global warming is
happening, and seven in 10 believe
the environmental crisis is more
serious than most people think.
They are among the most
likely of the nine groups to support environmentally friendly
policies, too.
Eight in 10 favor regulating
carbon dioxide emissions, compared with only six in 10 of all
Americans. Nearly nine in 10
of the Religious Greens favor
funding research into renewable
energy sources, compared with
less than seven in 10 of all Americans.
Despite their views, just two
in 10 of this highly spiritual
group call themselves environmentalists.
There is a long history of people of faith serving as stewards
of God’s creation, and Pope Francis released an encyclical on the
environment this year. But the

U.S. mostly has a secular image.

The FBI is investigating the
massacre as a terrorist attack
that, if proved, would be the

“Liberal Greens” and the “Outdoor Greens” — said they’re only

Few among these two groups
trust religious beliefs over scientific explanations.
Overall, the AP-NORC polling
shows 63 percent of the least
religious Americans think global
warming is real, while only 43
percent of those who describe
themselves as “very religious”
believe it’s happening.
That may reflect the tension
between religion and environmentalism in U.S. politics.
The 2016 Republican presidential candidates most aggressively
seeking Christian votes are dismissive of climate change.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has
accused government scientists
of “cooking the books” to falsely
portray a warming planet.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee, a Southern Baptist
pastor before he entered politics, questioned climate change
science and mocked Democratic
President Barack Obama for saying there’s no greater threat to
future generations.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben
Carson said he doesn’t believe in
global warming or evolution.
Juana Torres, an environmentalist and a Catholic Church volunteer in Los Angeles, said she

is really a crisis or whether the
church should be involved.
“What I hear the most is we’re
an opportunity,” Nelson said.
Lundberg said Republican
officials in the county don’t rest
on laurels but work to turn out
Republicans on election days.
He said Sioux County Republicans are self-motivated to vote,
but “you always have to keep
stirring the pot, keep prodding,
just to get people to turn out.”
Van Es said being in the
minority is a tough reality.
“It is definitely a challenge.
But I am finding that more and
more Democrats are willing to
come out of the closet in Sioux
County,” Van Es said.
She said some business owners are afraid they “will lose
business” if they openly advocate for Democrats. But Van
Es said she saw more Democratic candidate yard signs in
2014 than ever before, and she
hopes public presence continues to grow. Van Es noted
the South used to vote heavily
Democratic, then shifted over
recent decades to become a
Republican stronghold. Her
takeaway is politics can change
over time.
“Things can really turn
around. I guess I am a ridiculous optimist. I don’t know that
we will ever be the majority, but
I think that we can move toward
closing the gap. The reason I
think that is, there are young
adults living here, settling here,
whose political values are different than the majority, and
I think that is going to pick up
speed,” Van Es said.

Home-school
deaths rarely
lead to new rules
By BILL DRAPER
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A
Detroit brother and sister vanished more than two years before
they were found dead in a freezer
in their home, and an 11-yearold Florida girl disappeared
more than a year before she, too,
turned up in a family freezer. And
a 7-year-old Kansas boy hadn’t
been seen for more than a month
before authorities found the gruesome remains of a child in a pigsty inside his family’s barn.
All of them were homeschooled, but despite their disappearances going unnoticed for so
long, opposition from the government-wary home-schooling community means it’s unlikely these
states will start keeping closer
tabs on home-schooled children.
“It’s largely a conservative
thing, but even progressive
home-schoolers tend to resist
oversight,” said Rachel Coleman,
co-founder of the nonprofit Coalition for Responsible Home Education. “Part of it is because there
is an assumption that parents
always know what’s best for their
children.”
The most recent case, at a
home near Kansas City, Kan., still
is being investigated, and authorities said it could be weeks before
they positively identify the child
whose remains officers found
in the barn. The officers were
responding to a reported domestic disturbance at the home the
day before Thanksgiving and
were told of the 7-year-old’s disappearance.
His stepmother, Heather
Jones, told the Associated Press
her husband, Michael A. Jones,
abused her and their son, Adrian,
and she feared he was going to
kill her and their six daughters
because she found out he killed
the boy.
Authorities haven’t said when
they believe the boy went missing, but they said they think he
was abused between May 1 and
Sept. 28.
Michael Jones has been
charged with child abuse,
aggravated battery and aggravated assault with a firearm.
No charges have been filed in
connection with his son’s disappearance or the discovery of the
remains. He didn’t have an attorney as of Friday, but his father
has described him as a “caring
and outstanding person” who
wouldn’t hurt a child.
Such cases are horrific, but
they don’t typically lead to new
restrictions on home-schooling, which many parents see as
their deeply personal right, said
Rob Kunzman, director of the
International Center for Home
Education Research at Indiana
University.
“They oftentimes create a
short-term effort to increase regulation in the state where it happens, but rarely does this result
in increased regulation because
of the influence of home-school
advocacy groups,” he said.
Although the number of homeschooled students jumped nationwide to about 1.7 million between
2003 and 2012, they still represent
just more than 3 percent of all
students, Coleman said, adding
the relatively low number plays
into the general public’s apathy
toward home-schooling issues.
For home-schoolers, the
emotionally charged argument
against additional oversight is
parents, not the government,
know what’s best for their children.
“As many as two-thirds are
home-schooling in part for religious reasons,” Coleman said.
“Part of that for conservative
Christians is that God has given
that child to the parents, not the
state. The state doesn’t own my
child, God has entrusted my
child to me.”
Eleven states do not require
parents to notify state or local
officials their children will be
home-schooled, while 10 states
require parents to file a onetime notice when they first start
home-schooling, but nothing further, Coleman said.
The other 29 states, including
Iowa, require parents to file an
annual notice of home-schooling. The information required to
be included varies from state to
state, with some requiring only
the name of the home school and
its administrator, while others
require basic curriculum plans,
student names and ages and, in
some cases, a copy of each student’s birth certificate.
Barbara Knox, an associate
professor at the University of
Wisconsin School of Medicine
and Public Health, said research
she and five other pediatricians
conducted on the torture of
children found of the 28 young
victims studied, nearly half were
home-schooled, and an additional 29 percent weren’t allowed
to attend school at all.
“For over half, few individuals
outside the abuser(s) knew of
the child’s existence,” researchers wrote. “This social isolation
typically involved preventing the
child from attending school or
day care.”
Knox said she would like to
see uniform home-schooling
laws throughout the country that
at least keep tabs on children
with open or previous Child Protective Services cases who are
removed from school to be homeschooled.
For the 47 percent of children
in her study who were removed
from their schools to be homeschooled, it “appears to have
been designed to further isolate
the child and typically occurred
after closure of a previously
opened CPS case,” the researchers wrote.
Earlier this year, a Michigan
lawmaker proposed creating
a state registry of all homeschooled children after Stoni
Ann Blair and Stephen Gage
Berry were found in a freezer in
their home. Investigators believe
Stephen was 9 when he died in
August 2012, and Stoni was 13
when she died the following May.
The measure by state Rep.
Stephanie Chang, a Detroit Democrat, never made it out of committee.
In response to Chang’s proposal, a group called the Michigan Freedom Fund issued a news
release blasting the lawmaker for
concocting a big-government
scheme “designed to force and
frighten parents into enrolling
their children in government
schools and removing their freedom to decide how their children
are educated — this time by
accusing home-school parents of
being murderers-in-waiting.”
In Kansas, which sees itself as
a local-control state, it’s left up to
parents to determine how to educate their children, said Denise
Kahler, a spokeswoman for the
state Department of Education.
“That’s always been a big thing
for us,” she said.
Rep. Ron Highland, a Wamego
Republican who is chairman
of the House Education Committee, said it’s unlikely the
Kansas Legislature will spend
any time working to strengthen
home-schooling rules.
“We have to ask ourselves,
‘What about personal responsibility?’ ” Highland said. “No
matter how many layers of laws
and regulations, some people
are going to do some bad things.
That’s just a fact of life.”
Florida state Rep. Greg
Steube, a Sarasota Republican,
proposed changes in his state’s
home-school law after an 11-yearold girl who had been missing for
more than a year was found in
October in a freezer her mother
left at the home of family members.
Steube and local leaders are
working on legislation adding
an in-person check on some
at-risk children by a certified
teacher on either a semester or
quarterly basis. Home-schoolers
have lashed out at the proposal
as unnecessary, the Bradenton
Herald reported.
Cat missing for 8 years
reunited with Calif. family
Associated Press
NOVATO, Calif. — A cat missing for more than eight years has
been reunited with her family
thanks to a man who took her to
an animal shelter.
Marin Humane Society spokeswoman Lisa Bloch said Sunday
Rick Benson had been feeding
the orange tabby near his shop
in Novato for about two months
until he decided to take the stray
feline for a checkup at the animal
shelter.
Bloch said luckily the cat was
micro-chipped, and the shelter
was able to contact her owners,
Nancy and Stephen Payne, who
reunited with Ginger Wednesday. Bloch said Ginger was just a
kitten when she ran away from
her Novato home.
She said reuniting a pet missing
for eight years with their owners
is a record for the organization.

‘Hunger
Games’
fends off
‘Krampus’
By RYAN NAKASHIMA
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The “Hunger Games” finale spoiled an
early Christmas for the holiday horror comedy “Krampus”
to maintain its top spot at the
North American box office for
the third week running.
The Jennifer Lawrence-led
film took in an estimated $18.6
million in the U.S. and Canada,
bringing its domestic total to
$227 million, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday.
The anti-Santa Claus thriller
from Universal, the only film to
debut in the top 10 this week,
brought in $16 million.
The normally slow weekend
following Thanksgiving was
up 26 percent from a year ago
thanks to the fresh fodder from
Universal, which slipped in
between the release of two huge
franchise movies — “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part
2,” and “Star Wars: Episode VII
— The Force Awakens,” which
is due out Dec. 18.
Arab and Jewish populations
essentially equal.
A pullout from the West Bank
is complicated by the presence
of Jewish settlers, numbering
400,000 and growing. Eventually,
the situation may become irreversible, with the Palestinians
abandoning efforts to set up their
own state and instead demanding annexation and voting rights
as citizens of a single “binational”
state. Israelis who fear this scenario and see a future of internecine conflict, global economic
boycotts and increasing isolation
want a pullout now, from at least
most of the West Bank, even without an agreement with the Palestinians.
“If the Israelis don’t hurry up to
implement the two-state solution
on the ground, they will lose,” said
Ahmed Qurei, a longtime Palestinian negotiator.
The argument for not pulling out
of the West Bank
For some Jewish Israelis, the
West Bank literally is the Promised Land — full of biblical places
like Hebron, Jericho, Bethlehem
and Shilo that must be kept as a
birthright, whatever the consequences.
But this is a minority opinion,
even among proponents of the
occupation. The more common
argument is rooted in security.
Without the West Bank, Israel
would be about 10 miles wide at
its narrowest point, with the West
Bank looming over population
centers and surrounding Jerusalem on three sides. Meanwhile,
Islamic radicals are on the march
throughout the region. Such
Israelis imagine a future in which

Bank; the Palestinians must be

zones set up under interim agreements in the 1990s.
The impact of Gaza
Israel pulled troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip in 2005
as part of a simple calculation.
With the small but crowded territory neatly removed from the
demographic equation, Jews
still have a majority of about 60
percent. But the Islamic militants of Hamas seized control of
Gaza, periodically firing rockets
at Israel and leading the sides to
three mini-wars to date. Many
Israelis fear the West Bank will
face a similar fate if Israel withdraws. Meanwhile, the Palestinians and much of the world consider Gaza to still be occupied,
since Israel blockades it and controls the airspace and sea access
in an effort to minimize Hamas’
ability to arm itself.
Keep the army, remove
the settlers?
A paper published two weeks
ago by a major Israeli think tank
proposed a new unilateral solution in which settlers would be
pulled out of most of the West
Bank to create a situation more
amenable to partition. The army
would maintain its current positions until a better alternative
emerged. The authors — economist Avner Halevi and Gilead
Sher, a former chief negotiator
with the Palestinians — said this
requires removing about 100,000
settlers, while others living close
to Israel’s de facto border would
remain pending a future negotiation.
“The purpose of such a withdrawal would be to implement a
temporary border that would create a reality of two nation-states,”
Sher and Halevi wrote.

Carter says latest brain scan shows no cancer
Former president
will continue drug
treatment.
By KATHLEEN FOODY
Associated Press
ATLANTA — Jimmy Carter inspired pronouncements
of answered prayers Sunday,
revealing his latest brain scan
showed no signs of cancer four
months after the former president announced melanoma had
spread to his brain and put himself “in the hands of God.”
Carter announced the news at
the small church where he frequently teaches Sunday school
in his hometown of Plains, Ga.,
then in a two-sentence written
statement as word spread from
Maranatha Baptist Church.
Carter always starts his lessons with a brief update on his
recent activities. This week, that
included a visit to his doctor to
learn the results of an MRI brain
scan. Previous tests found four
lesions on his brain still were
there but had responded to an

Former President Jimmy Carter teaches Sunday school class
Aug. 23 at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains,
Ga. Carter said Sunday no cancer was detected in his latest
scan.
August radiation treatment
and regular doses of a recently
approved drug called Keytruda
to help his body seek out any new
cancer cells.
“And when I went this week,
they didn’t find any cancer at all,”
Carter said, prompting gasps and
applause from the congregation
as he smiled slightly. “So, I have
good news.”
Such a clean scan for a melanoma patient would have been
rare as recently as five years ago,
experts on the disease said. Keytruda and other drugs classified
as “immunotherapy” sometimes
combined with radiation dra-
matically have changed success
at treating melanoma, said Keith
Flaherty, a melanoma specialist
at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Termeer Center for Targeted
Therapies who is not involved in
Carter’s treatment.
“There’s no question it’s very
positive,” Flaherty said. “It really
is an uncommon thing to have
lesions of any size resolved so
completely and so quickly.”
It’s not clear what other scans
Carter’s doctors at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute
have performed. A spokesman
declined comment Sunday due
to patient privacy and Carter only
mentioned a brain scan.
Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief
medical officer for the American
Cancer Society, said doctors evaluating melanoma patients will
use scans of body parts beyond
where the disease has occurred
to ensure it has not spread.
“For today, the news cannot be
better,” Lichtenfeld said. “Circumstances may change over time, or
he may be in a situation where it
does not recur for many years or
at all.”
Carter said he will continue
receiving doses of Keytruda
every three weeks. That’s typical for patients taking the drug
without side effects, said Douglas
Johnson, a melanoma specialist
at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center who is not involved with Carter’s treatment.
Doctors will continue to scan
Carter’s body for any new cancer cell, a procedure typically
repeated every three months
for the first year or two after a
patient’s test results show no cancer, Johnson said.
“The majority of patients can
tolerate these drugs extremely
well, even patients of an advanced
age,” he said. “It’s very different
from traditional chemotherapy.”
Carter, 91, has remained active
during treatment, volunteering
on a building project with Habitat for Humanity and continuing
to work at The Carter Center, the
human rights organization he
founded after leaving the White
House.
“I’ve reacted well to the treat-
ments,” Carter told the Associated Press in November. “I haven’t been uncomfortable or ill
after the treatments were over.
So that part of it has been a relief
to me and I think to the doctors.
But the final result of how well
the treatments are combatting or
controlling the cancer, we don’t
know yet.”
Jason Carter, Carter’s grandson, said he got the news Friday
from his grandfather. Maranatha Baptist Church members
learned along with Sunday’s
guests, among hundreds drawn
to the tiny church for lessons in
the weeks since Carter’s August
announcement.
Jill Stuckey, a Maranatha Baptist Church member, said in a
phone interview that after Carter’s comments she went into the
church’s back hallways to tell
members who were working on
other tasks before service.
“Our prayers have been
answered,” said Stuckey, also a
close friend of the Carters. “I can’t
think of a better Christmas present.”
Lawsuits part of call for more transparency at law schools
By SUDHIN THANAWALA
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — With
her sister’s successful career
as a corporate attorney providing a glimpse of the possibilities she imagined ahead
of her, Nikki Nguyen left a
$50,000-a-year job at Boeing
Co. in 2006 to pursue a law
degree at Thomas Jefferson
School of Law in San Diego.
Instead, she struggled for
more than a year to find a
job after she graduated and
watched her student loan
debt of more than $180,000
balloon.
Nguyen, 34, is among 12 former Thomas Jefferson students
who are suing the university in
a California court, accusing it of
inflating its graduates’ employment figures and salaries to
attract students.
“They weren’t transparent,” said Nguyen, whose case
is scheduled to go to trial in
March. “People who have a
dream of law school should
go into it with their eyes wide
open.”
An attorney for Thomas
Jefferson, Michael Sullivan,
denied the allegations and said
the school was following procedures set by the American
Bar Association that since have
changed.
Nguyen’s lawsuit is among
more than a dozen similar ones
filed in recent years against
law schools, including Golden
Gate University School of
Law in San Francisco and the
University of San Francisco
School of Law. Though most of
the suits have been dismissed,
critics said they point to a
need for greater regulation and
transparency for law schools,
so prospective students know
their employment prospects,
the debt they will incur and
even their chances of success-

fully passing the bar.
“Schools are setting up a
lot of people to fail,” said Kyle
McEntee, executive director
of Law School Transparency, a
nonprofit legal education policy
group that had no involvement
with the lawsuits.
Thomas Jefferson reported
post-graduation employment
figures that exceeded 70 percent and topped 90 percent in
2010 but did not disclose those
figures included part-time and
non-legal work, such as a pool
cleaner and a sales clerk at Victoria’s Secret, and were based
on a small sample of graduates, according to Nguyen’s
lawsuit and her attorney, Brian
Procel. The lawsuit further
alleges the school routinely
reported unemployed students
as employed and shredded
surveys and other documents
reflecting a more accurate
employment picture.
Thomas Jefferson responded
in court documents the students ignored additional available employment data. Sullivan
said there is “no evidence that
demonstrates any effort on the
part of the school to misrepresent the post-graduate employment numbers.”
“These were students who
were encountering a more difficult job market,” he said.
The lawsuits against Golden
Gate University and the University of San Francisco also alleged
the schools misrepresented their
post-graduate employment figures.
The Golden Gate lawsuit
was settled, with each of the
five plaintiffs receiving $8,000,
according to a May 2015 court
filing. The case against the University of San Francisco was
dismissed in May.
A spokesman for Golden
Gate law school, Erik Christensen, referred comment to an
attorney, who did not respond.
University of San Francisco law
spokeswoman Angie Davis said
the university and plaintiffs
“amicably resolved the matter,”
and the school could not comment further.
In court filings, both schools
said data were available showing what percentage of students
actually obtained jobs at law
firms.
The ABA since has required
schools to publish a more
detailed breakdown of their
employment figures that, among
other things, distinguishes fulltime from part-time jobs.
But Procel and McEntee said
problems still exist. Students
know, on average, the debt they
will incur to attend school, but
don’t have a good sense of how
it can mushroom after graduation with interest and fees
if they have to defer payment,
Procel said.
Nguyen said she now owes
more than $200,000. Though
she works in a paralegal-type
position and lives with her sister, she said she has not been
able to touch the principal on
her loan.
McEntee said many law
schools have begun taking students with lower LSAT scores
and no chance of passing the
bar in order to keep their enrollment numbers up.
Nguyen’s
lawsuit
also
accuses Thomas Jefferson
of accepting students with
lower grade-point averages
and LSAT scores. The lawsuit
seeks restitution and damages
believed to be in excess of $1.5
million.
Barry Currier, managing
director of accreditation and
legal education at the ABA,
said the organization isn’t done
improving the employment data
it releases but warned more
information would not necessarily help prospective students.
He said the LSAT is not a good
way to determine whether a student will pass the bar and said
some of the criticism of schools
fails to account for changes in
the job market for law school
graduates.
“We’re letting our concerns
about employment and the job
market, over which law schools
have no control, drive too much
of this conversation,” he said.

ehemoth corporations like
Google and Amazon have more
money than they know what to
do with.
How else to explain their child-like
obsession with spending millions of
dollars to develop aerial drones that
can deliver their products to customers one at a time.
With millions of enthusiasts buying
drones to fly around their own
neighborhoods, the skies already
are becoming crowded with safety
concerns
Two years ago, Amazon unveiled a
prototype multi motor copter, which
showed it could drop a small package
on a theoretical customers’ doorstep.
The questionable wisdom of flying a
multi-bladed machine into a crowded
cityscape or leaving a valuable
product in plain sight didn’t seem to
deter its backers. Amazon now aims
to land in customers’ backyards,
assuming they have one.
The brainiacs at Amazon last week
unveiled another prototype, one of a
dozen being considered.
This new one is much bigger, has
wings, a cargo bay and nine electric
motors. Eight are required to take
off and land like a helicopter, while
the other will push it along at nearly
60 mph at cruising altitude. Like the
earlier version, it would be controlled
by a pilot using GPS, remote controls
and video from an onboard camera
to see where the unmanned aircraft
is going.
The fact Federal Aviation Administration rules forbid drones from
flying higher than 400 feet or beyond
the “pilot’s” field of vision also hasn’t
deterred the folks at the online
retailer. Like kids in a candy shop, its
designers keep pushing the technology in a search for a solution to a
problem that doesn’t exist.
That would be the company’s
inexplicable determination to deliver
a product to customers within 30
minutes after they place their order
the radio signals used to control it.
Safety is paramount when whirling
blades and gravity -defying machines
are involved. Recently in Britain, a
child lost an eye when a toy drone hit
a tree and a propeller sstruck the boy.
A well-funded, well-managed
system of aerial delivery on a micro
scale might well beat the United
States Postal Service mail carrier, the
UPS or Fed Ex driver to one’s door.
But replacing those jobs with drone
operators seems counterproductive,
inefficient and, yes, even unpatriotic.

ran now has imprisoned
Washington Post journalist
Jason Rezaian unjustly for
more than 500 days — a travesty
piled atop an absurdity that compounds a tragedy.
A travesty: A government official obliquely announced before
Thanksgiving Rezaian has now
been sentenced to an unspecified
prison following his apparent
conviction last month on sham
espionage and other charges.
An absurdity: The sort-of
announcement of a prison sentence followed a staged trial,
based on fake charges, held
in the shadows over several
months, during which time no
evidence was presented. Neither
Rezaian’s lawyer nor her client,
who is in Tehran’s brutal Evin
prison, has been informed of the
verdict, let alone the sentence.
A tragedy: Only an “in-justice
system” would jail an innocent
person on trumped-up charges
and imprison him in a brutal
manner for no acceptable reason.
Iranian officials publicly have
“sought to depict Mr. Rezaian as
a nefarious spy who had used
his credentials as a journalist
as a ruse to gain insights that
would be valuable to the Iranian
government’s enemies,” the New
York Times reported Oct. 19.
Those officials say Rezaian was
“completely familiar with modern espionage methods.”
Apparently, Iran has an
absurd notion of “espionage” and
its workings. Rezaian’s last major
story for the Post was a report
on baseball gaining interest
among some younger Iranians.
Earlier, he had written about the
hint of growing enthusiasm for
American pop music. A charge
of communicating with a foreign
government may rest on a claim
Rezaian, eight years ago, submitted an online job application to
the incoming Obama administration.
Rezaian’s awful circumstance
is all the worse because it’s not
a singular incident. The Committee to Protect Journalists
reported “Iran was the second
worst jailer of journalists in the
world in 2014, after only China”
— and it has been among the

world’s three worst jailers of the
press every year since 2009.
Human rights group Freedom House reported this year
“some 35 journalists and dozens
of activists and human rights
lawyers remained behind bars”
in 2015, and “new arrests and
prison sentences for media workers and online activists were
reported throughout the year.”
Rezaian, 39, who has U.S. and
Iranian citizenship, has been on
assignment for the Post in Iran
since 2012. Post editors have said
much of his reporting was about
people and life in Iran.
According to various news
accounts, Iranian security police
invaded Rezaian’s home in July
2014 and arrested him with
no warning. For a number of
months, he was held in solitary
confinement with inadequate
medical care and no access to a
lawyer.
His brother, Ali Rezaian, said
recently at a program at the
National Press Club Jason is
depressed and “mad pretty much
at everybody.”
Angry at the Iranian government for what it has done and
angry at the Obama administration for not making his release
a requirement in talks with
Iran about ending international
economic sanctions in return

nuclear program.
Journalists gather information from a variety of sources
and report what they know to
others — the two essential processes of a free press. No journalist should be charged, jailed,
tried or sentenced for just doing
their job.
A nation such as Iran that
purports to be ready to rejoin the
world community, while repudiating charges of being a terrorist
nation, must accept those tenets
— and be held accountable if
they do not.
Martin Baron, executive editor
of the Washington Post, put the
travesty in more human terms
as he marked the sad milestone:
“Five hundred days robbed of
his life, 500 days deprived of his

No Kid Hungry packs 550 bags
By SARAH TOMKINSON
[email protected]
Every two weeks, volunteers
gather in the St. Vincent de Paul’s
food pantry to help bag food to
send to area school children as
part of the No Kid Hungry program.
They were at the food pantry Sunday preparing 550 bags
to send to Des Moines County
schools to give to students who
otherwise might go hungry on
weekends. Local school counselors and nurses recommend
participants.
“Kids who are on free or
reduce lunches can apply for it,”
coordinator Craig Fenton said.
Fenton added students whose
families have difficulty getting
food for weekend meals also are
eligible.
Fenton couldn’t accomplish
his task without reliable volunteers who bag and deliver.
“I saw it posted online and
thought I could help with that,”
said Denise Willson of Burlington.
Jeff Brown/The Hawk Eye
Pallets of food from the Southeast Iowa Food Bank in Ottumwa
await packing.
Willson tries to participate in
every packing and delivery day.
“Now, its just natural. I almost
forget I do this,” she said.
Others find out about the
effort by word of mouth. Lisa
Murphy learned about the effort
through her church.
“Doing the Lord’s work is how
I look at it,” she said.
The volunteers gather the
donated food from the pantry
and split them into the bags.
“All the food is nonperishable,
and it’s more meals than snacks,”
Fenton said.

filled with oatmeal, mac ‘n’

and canned spaghetti. The goal
is to provide a few meals in the
sack to have during the week or
for weekends.
“It’s all either microwavable or
bring to a boil foods, nothing that
requires a lot of culinary skill,”
Fenton said.
Most of the food comes either
from Southeast Iowa Food Bank
in Ottumwa or through business
and school food drives. When
food supplies are low from those
venues, the program does go out
and purchase food.
“The food bank is our biggest
supplier, and we weave in the
donations as much as we can,”
Fenton said.
The call for the No Kid Hungry in Des Moines County will
expand with Mediapolis jumping on board in January. All Des
Moines County school districts
then will be part of the program.
“Our numbers are only going
up right now,” Fenton said.

volunteering can contact Fenton

Olympics opponents learn from Boston revolt
Group sharing protest
tactics has prompted
cities to rethink bids to
host games.
Patricia Lacy
By PHILIP MARCELO
Associated Press
BOSTON — The grassroots
activists who upended Boston’s
well-funded and star-studded
Olympic bid are exporting their
expertise.
Leaders of No Boston 2024
and No Boston Olympics are
showing opposition groups elsewhere how they helped turn
public opinion against the city’s
bid for the 2024 summer games,
forcing organizers to withdraw.
Some were in contact with
organizers in Toronto, which
briefly considered hosting the
2024 games before deciding not
to apply in September. And a few
traveled to Germany to speak to
the Olympic opposition in Hamburg just weeks before that city
rejected a bid of its own to host
the 2024 games.
“Our primary motivation was
always Boston and what’s right
for this city,” said Christopher
Dempsey, a co-founder of the
No Boston Olympics group that
spoke in Hamburg. “But if there’s
an opportunity to share what
happened here — which I believe
was a very powerful thing —
then we’re not going to turn that
down.”
Artur Bruckmann, a graduate
student the University of Hamburg, said Boston is “proof even
a very small group of people with
very little money can overcome
one of the world’s biggest corporations” — the International
Olympic Committee.
Bruckmann credits Boston
organizers with encouraging
them to re-double their efforts on
social media. That push — combined with other major forces,
including Europe’s Syrian refugee crisis — led to a surprising
turnaround: Hamburg residents
narrowly rejected the Olympics
bid by a vote of 51.6 percent to
48.4 percent, despite polls suggesting more than 60 percent
support for the games prior to
the vote.
With Hamburg out of contention, only Paris; Rome; Budapest,
Hungary; and Los Angeles — the
city that took Boston’s place as
the U.S. Olympic Committee’s
pick — are vying for the 2024
games. The IOC is expected to
Charles Krupa/Associated Press
Protesters hold up placards opposing the Olympic Games coming to Boston during a public forum
Feb. 5 regarding the city’s 2024 Olympic bid. Activists from No Boston Olympics stirred up so
much spirited opposition to the 2024 Games, the U.S. Olympic Committee yanked Boston as its
bid city. Since then, the group has been exporting its best practices for fomenting resistance,
working with Olympics opponents as far away as Los Angeles and Hamburg, Germany.
“I don’t think we’re
looking to defeat the
bid. It’s fair to say
the people of this city
would love to host the
games. They just don’t
want the city to pay a
nickel for it.”
Zev Yaroslavsky

Olympic activist
decide on a host city in 2017.
Toronto was a possibility for a
short time, but opponents there
said Boston activists shared tactics for educating the public and
influencing politicians.
“We only had six weeks to
respond to Toronto’s last-minute bid, so No Boston’s support
helped us get up and running
quickly,” said Dave Wilson, who
helped found NoTO2024.
Janice Forsyth, a Canadian
professor who reached out to
Boston opponents to learn about
how they revealed crucial details
through public information
requests, hopes lessons learned
in Boston and elsewhere can
be codified so other opposition
groups quickly can mobilize.
“That level of information
sharing is critical,” she said. “The
same template could be used in
Paris or wherever because the
general pattern for bids is the
same pretty much wherever you
go.”
Boston’s Olympics revolt
hasn’t impacted every city where
the debate is playing out, however.
Activists have kept up with
opposition groups in Rio De
Janeiro, which will host next
year’s summer games, but those
communications largely have
been confined to encouragement
and moral support.
And in Los Angeles, Zev Yaroslavsky, a UCLA faculty member
who’s been active in past and
present debates over the games
as a former city councilor and
county supervisor, said he’s not
aware of any Olympic opponents
there reaching out to Boston.
“I don’t think we’re looking
to defeat the bid,” he said. “It’s
fair to say the people of this city
would love to host the games.
They just don’t want the city to
pay a nickel for it.”
In Hamburg, Dempsey said
he focused on the strategy and
tactics they used to counter the
slick messaging of Boston 2024,
the private Olympics planning
group that was headed by a
co-owner of the NBA’s Boston
Celtics and counted Celtics legend Larry Bird and Red Sox slugger David Ortiz among its board
of directors.
“They had a pretty good
grounding in the facts,” Dempsey
said of the Hamburg opposition.
“But they needed to do more to
project their voice in the broader
debate, and we just encouraged
them to find different ways to do
that.”
The Boston activists said
they’re simply paying forward
the help they received early on
in their efforts from Olympics
opponents in Vancouver and
London, two cities that recently
hosted the games, and Chicago,
which lost its bid for the 2016
Summer Games to Rio.
“We’ve become part of this
network, with people mentoring
each other and giving advice,”
said Robin Jacob, a co-founder of
the No Boston 2024 group. “And
it gets bigger every year.”
Most said the debate opened
their eyes to broader issues
around the Olympics and other
international sporting events
requiring cities pay for massive
building projects that oftentimes
leave them saddled with debt
and venues that aren’t usable
afterward.
But they’re not looking to parlay their experience into a full
time career fighting the Olympics.
“We’re back to our lives in Boston,” said Dempsey of No Boston
Olympics. “We’re not transforming this into a ‘No Olympics Anytime, Anywhere’ organization.”

minority students without explicitly taking account of their race.
Texas is unique in marrying
the top 10 plan to a separate
admissions review in which
race is one of many factors considered. The university’s current
freshman class is 22 percent
Hispanic and 4.5 percent African-American. White students
comprise less than half the
school’s freshmen.
The Supreme Court could rely
on the top 10 plan to essentially
rule out the use of race when a
university has found another way
to achieve a diverse student body.
Bigger questions would be left
for another day, perhaps in separate challenges to admissions
plans at Harvard University and
the University of North Carolina
aiming to eliminate any consideration of race in college admissions.
Edward Blum, an opponent of
racial preferences who recruited
Fisher to bring her lawsuit, also
is behind those suits.
Fisher now lives in the Austin
area, where she said she has a job
in finance and plays the cello in two
community orchestras. But even
as she has moved on in her life, she
has not dropped the legal fight.
“It should be based on merit, and
it shouldn’t be based on any external factors,” Fisher said in a video
Blum posted on the website for his
Project on Fair Representation.
Texas has contended Fisher’s
argument race is to blame for
her rejection is misguided. White
students with lower scores than
hers also were admitted, while
many more minority students
with higher scores than Fisher
were not offered admission.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The
Portland Timbers had a plan to
attack early in their first MLS Cup
appearance. They didn’t expect it
to work to perfection so quickly.
Diego Valeri scored 27 seconds
after the opening whistle for the
fastest goal in MLS Cup history to
stun the Columbus Crew and thier
home fans.
A second goal in the seventh
minute by Rodney Wallace provided all the scoring the Timbers
needed to beat the Crew 2-1 on
Sunday for their first league title.
The first goal came when Columbus midfielder Wil Trapp sent
a back pass to goalkeeper Steve
Clark, who tried to move the ball
from his right foot to the left for
a clearance. But Clark didn’t see
Valeri closing and the midfielder
poked the ball away from him and
into the goal.
“We knew the aggressiveness
the first 20 minutes from us had to
be there,” Valeri said. “We tried to
be aggressive and pressure them.”
The Crew had barely recovered
when a mental gaffe gave Portland
a controversial second goal.
Crew midfielder Tony Tchani
and several teammates stopped
playing when the ball rolled several
feet over the right boundary. Instead of a stoppage for a throw-in,
Portland’s Darlington Nagbe kept
going with the ball and sent a pass
wide to Lucas Melano, who found

David Shaw would check the
scores every Sunday and see the
same thing.
“It would be like, ‘Oh, you
know what? There’s Iowa again,’”
the Stanford coach said on Sunday. “I love teams that fight and
scrap and get what they deserve.”
Shaw won’t have to check the
score on Jan. 2. Iowa and Stanford will be playing in the Rose
Bowl on New Year’s Day.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz —

the playoff with a win on Saturday night — said the Rose Bowl
wasn’t a consolation prize.
“It’s just really an exciting
thing for us,” Ferentz said. “We
know we have one big challenge
left.
“What a deal this is for all of
us. Two outstanding teams playing each other in the best bowl.”

By ANDREW SELIGMAN

CHICAGO — The Chicago
Bears had just taken a late lead
when San Francisco 49ers coach
Jim Tomsula delivered the message to Blaine Gabbert.
He told his quarterback to
enjoy the moment. Gabbert
owned it, instead.
Gabbert threw a 71-yard
touchdown pass to Torrey Smith
in overtime after running for
the tying TD late in regulation,
lifting the struggling 49ers to a
26-20 victory over the Bears on
Sunday.
“You get opportunities like
that,” Tomsula said. “You got to
enjoy them. That’s why they play
the game. All of these players in
the NFL are amazing athletes.
Amazing individuals. You get in a
moment like that. Enjoy it. Savor
it.”
Tomsula’s pep talk came right
after Chicago’s Ka’Deem Carey
ran for a touchdown in the closing minutes of regulation.

Chiefs’ defense stymies Raiders
By JOSH DUBOW
Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Marcus
Peters and Tyvon Branch made
the Oakland Coliseum feel just
like home.
Peters, an Oakland native
who grew up attending Raiders games, set up Kansas City’s
go-ahead score with an interception and former Oakland safety
Tyvon Branch put the game
away with an interception return
for a touchdown that gave the
Chiefs their sixth straight win,
34-20 on Sunday.
“It was a whole lot more than I
expected,” said Peters, who gave
the ball from his interception to
his mother. “It was hard, man, I
can’t lie, to come out there and
stay focused. My nerves were up
and down.
“Early in the game my emotions were everywhere so it took
for coach and the other leaders
on the team to just bring me
back. I made some silly mistakes
early, but they reeled me in.”
Peters and Branch helped
key a momentum-changing
fourth quarter as Kansas City
(7-5) turned three interceptions
by Derek Carr into three touchdowns to remain in the AFC
wild-card lead.
Alex Smith threw two TD
passes to Jeremy Maclin after
Carr’s first two interceptions to
lead the opportunistic Chiefs to
another win.
“We knew we dug ourselves
in a hole in the beginning of the
year, but we’re been battling
back every week — just working
hard and believing in each other
and coming out with victories,”
said linebacker Josh Mauga,
whose interception started the
fourth-quarter barrage.
Carr became the third Raiders quarterback since the team
moved back to Oakland in 1995
to throw three fourth-quarter
interceptions to send the Raiders
to their fourth loss in five games
and likely a 13th season without
a playoff berth.
“I played a lot of football in my
life, won a lot of games, lost a lot
of games. But today was prob-

125, the lowest total by any NFL

STATS.
That all starts with Wilson.
“It’s hard to even explain how
he’s playing. It’s just phenomenal,” Baldwin said. “He’s trusting
the line, staying in the pocket,
making his reads. He’s delivering
the ball with stupid accuracy,
and it’s unbelievable to watch.”
Following a 2-4 start, with
losses by a total of 17 points all
to teams that were undefeated
at the time, the Seahawks have

picture.
“It’s a grind, you know? We
faced a little bit of adversity at
first,” Rawls said, “but I think
we’re on schedule.”
League rushing leader Adrian
Peterson was limited to 18 yards
on eight carries, the third-lowest
single-game total of his career,

TD run and then won it with that
long pass in OT after the Bears’
Robbie Gould missed a field goal
at the end of regulation.
“You really saw kind of the
peaks and valleys of NFL football right there,” Gabbert said.
The Bears (5-7) had just gone
three-and-out after forcing a
punt by San Francisco to start
the extra period.
On the first play of the 49ers’
second possession, Gabbert
found a wide-open Smith along
the left sideline, giving San Francisco (4-8) a surprising win over
a team that had jumped into
playoff contention.
“It was set up by all the throws
we had underneath early on in
the game, all the runs we ran out
of that formation,” Gabbert said.
“It worked perfectly. Torrey did a
great job tracking the ball in the
air and using his speed to outrun
everybody.”
All that happened after a wild
finish in regulation.
The Bears took a 20-13 lead on
Carey’s 4-yard run with 3:32 left,
only to let it disappear and then
blow a chance to win the game
as time expired.

Berry and cornerback Sean Smith (right) during Sunday’s game.
ably one of the hardest losses
I’ve been a part of in my career,”
safety Charles Woodson said.
“That was a tough loss.”
The game turned odd late in
the third quarter after the Raiders took a 20-14 lead on a 5-yard
TD pass from Carr to Lee Smith.
But Sebastian Janikowski hit
the upright on the extra point,
ending a streak of 225 straight
makes.
The Raiders then forced a
punt and were driving to make
it a two-score game when Carr
tried to make something out of
nothing and it cost him. He tried
to throw the ball away to avoid
a sack, but was hit on the play
and the ball went right to Mauga,
who rumbled 65 yards to the 2 on
the return.
“The only thing in my mind
was try to get as close to the goal
line or even score,” Mauga said.
“I was hoping I could score, but I
ran out of gas.”
Maclin then scored on a 1-yard
pass from Smith. But the holder
Dustin Colquitt couldn’t get
the snap down and the Chiefs
missed the extra point, keeping
the game tied at 20.
Carr then threw another interception on the next possession
after Michael Crabtree tripped
and Peters returned it 58 yards
to the 13. Maclin then took a
short pass and ran 13 yards for
the go-ahead score only to have
kicker Cairo Santos miss the
point after attempt.
The botched kicks proved
contagious as Janikowski hit the
upright again on Oakland’s ensuing possession on a 49-yard field
goal try.
The Raiders got another
chance, but Branch scooped up
a pass that deflected off Cooper’s
hands and ran it back 38 yards
for the score.
“I’m pretty ticked off, especially on how some of them happened,” Carr said. “I get pretty
upset. Those things will happen.
It just (stinks) that it happened
all back to back like that.”
The Raiders took a 14-7 lead
going into the half after Woodson ripped the ball away from
Kelce with the Chiefs in field goal
range and returned it 38 yards to
the Kansas City 36. It was Woodson’s second fumble recovery
of the game and set up Michael
Crabtree’s 25-yard TD catch.

frustrated by the lack of carries.
“And outplayed as players.”
The Vikings fell back into a
first-place tie with Green Bay for
the NFC North lead three days
after the Packers beat Detroit
on a desperation pass on the last
play. The Vikings, who lost 30-13
to Green Bay in their previous
home game, took their most lopsided loss in Minnesota since a
34-3 defeat by Chicago on Nov.
25, 1984.
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer
hinted he saw signs of a clunker
coming in practice during the
week.
“We’re not quite as good as we
think we are,” Zimmer said.
Wilson, who finished 21 for 27
for 274 yards, was in command
in the pocket and at his elusive
best when the rush came. He netted 51 yards on nine rushes.
The Seahawks had touchdown drives of 81 and 98 yards in
the first half, fueled by penalties,
missed tackles and overruns by
the Vikings.
On the first march, holding
call on Terence Newman that
saved the Seahawks from a punt.
Linebacker Anthony Barr (groin)
and safety Harrison Smith (hamstring) limped off with injuries,
too. With nose tackle Linval
Joseph (foot) already ruled
out, the Vikings were suddenly
without their most indispens-
able player at each level of the
defense.
It sure showed.
The Seahawks’ star-laden
lineup on defense, vulnerable at
times this season, backed Wilson with a clutch performance.
Teddy Bridgewater’s overthrown
pass for Stefon Diggs late in the
second quarter was intercepted
and returned 25 yards by Earl
Thomas, Diggs took a facemask
penalty and the Seahawks had
the ball at the 20 with 68 seconds
remaining before halftime.
Wilson dropped back, saw
Baldwin open and, boom, put the
Seahawks up 21-0 with another
crisply thrown pass.
“He’s definitely got some elite
skills,” Vikings cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said.
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said Wilson should
be in the mix for the NFL MVP
award if he keeps on this track.
“When he plays like that we’re
a very difficult team to beat,”
Sherman said.
NOTES: This was the lowest yardage total for the Vikings
since they had 104 on Dec. 21,
2006 at Green Bay. ... During the

74 yards to the 28. The Bears
had the ball at the 17 when they
called on the usually reliable
Gould, and at that point, linebacker NaVorro Bowman could
sense the dread on the sideline.
“We had this feeling a few
games (where) we played well
and fell a little short,” he said.
“That same kind of emotion and
feeling came back. We’re right
there. And I think today showed
what we’ve been trying to get to
all the players — just keep fighting no matter what’s happening
in the game.”
Gould, who missed a 40-yard
attempt in the third quarter,
booted a 36-yarder wide left as
time expired.
“I just got quick on both of
them and rushed them, and
hurried them,” said Gould, who
turned 34 Sunday. “They were
both probably the worst kicks
I’ve had all year.”
Gabbert, who took over for
Colin Kaepernick last month,
completed 18 of 32 passes for 196
yards and a touchdown. He also
ran for 75 yards and his score.
Smith had two catches for
76 yards, and Jimmie Ward
returned his first career interception for a touchdown, helping
the 49ers snap a two-game losing
streak and secure their first road
win. They were 0-5 away from
home.
Chicago’s Jay Cutler was 18 of
31 for 202 yards with that interception. Alshon Jeffery had 85
yards receiving and Matt Forte
ran for 84 and a touchdown,
but for the second time in three
games, the Bears missed a
chance to reach .500. They also
fell to 1-5 at home.
Chicago followed up a rare
win at Green Bay on Thanksgiving with a gut-wrenching loss
against a team both coordinators probably would have loved
to beat.
Defensive coordinator Vic
Fangio and offensive coordinator Adam Gase interviewed
for the 49ers’ head coaching job
that went to Tomsula following
Jim Harbaugh’s departure after
last season. Gase wound up following Fox from Denver, and
Fangio moved to Chicago after
overseeing one of the league’s
top defenses the past four years
in San Francisco.
“Offensively we didn’t play
that great in Green Bay either,”
Cutler said. “That’s kind of
the facts. Today we didn’t play
exceptionally well either. Offensively we’ve got a lot of work to
do.
NOTES: 49ers LB Aaron
Lynch left the game with a concussion in the third quarter. ...
This was San Francisco’s first
regular-season win at Chicago
since 1974. The 49ers did beat
the Bears at Soldier Field in the
conference championship game
at the end of the 1988 season. ...
The 49ers were 7 of 16 on third
downs after going 0 for 9 against
Arizona.

“I think we’re a little deeper
this year, but we’re still growing
as a program,” he said. “The reality is that we’ll be underdogs in
every match. Our goal is to be
better in February than when we
started practice in November.”
Last season, the boys finished
one pin from beating a team at
the district meet, so the hope is
the program can take the next
step despite losing four of those
bowlers to graduation. C.J.
Adams goes into the season with
the top average from last season,
while Gunner Robison, Skylar

Brandon Schoene all figure to be
in the mix at the varsity level.
“C.J. has shown he is capable
of rolling a 200, but it’s a matter
of being consistent,” Mason said.
“He’s our main guy right now,
and everyone else will compete
for the other spots. It’s something that could be different
from week to week.”
The girls will be led by senior
Emily Martindale, who averaged
a 129 last season and was second on the team in that category.
Mason sees Martingale as the
“Adams for the girls’ team.”
“She’s talented and is apt to
throw a 170 or 180, or have a bad

Briar Thye and Leala Rettig will
be among those who can step in
and fill some roles as well.
“We’ll have to mix and match
our top five or six bowlers,” he
said. “Aside from Emily, no one
has really separated themselves
on the girls side. You want that
kind of competition.”
As the Grayhounds begin their
fourth year as a program, they
have yet to taste victory. Many
other schools, particularly in the
Mississippi Athletic Conference,
have had a program for at least
a decade. Mason hopes BHS can
break through for a win this season.
“A win of some sort would
be great, and we can get that

And that was it for drama. A big
difference from last season, when
the committee had to choose from
Ohio State, Baylor and TCU, and
ticked off the Big 12 by jumping
the Buckeyes past the Bears and
Frogs in the final rankings.
For the playoff teams, a series
of season-saving moments and
turning points have brought them
two wins away from a national
championship.
ALABAMA
The Crimson Tide lost to Ole
Miss at home in late September,
a game that left Alabama uneasy
about its passing game and in need
of help just to win the SEC West.
To fix the offense, the Tide
turned to Derrick Henry and let
the 240-pound tailback shoulder
the load. The junior had at least 22
carries against each of Alabama’s
remaining SEC opponents, including a whopping 90 in the last two
games.
CLEMSON
The Tigers tried to ease star
quarterback Deshaun Watson into
the 2015 season. The gifted dualthreat quarterback was coming
off a major knee injury. Clemson
coaches knew Watson’s wheels
would be a weapon, but it was one
they didn’t want to use until it was
needed most — like in the rain
against Notre Dame.
Watson ran for 16 times for 103
yards and a score in that 24-22
victory against the Irish in October, a win sealed when the Tigers
defensive line stopped the Irish’s
tying 2-point attempt with 7 seconds left.
Down the stretch Watson’s
running became an even bigger
part of Clemson’s offense. He surpassed 100 yards on the ground in
four of the last five games.
Making plays on the move will
be critical for Watson against
Eric Striker, Charles Tapper and
an Oklahoma pass rush that produced 3.08 sacks per game (fifthbest in the nation).
MICHIGAN STATE
No team in the playoff stared
down defeat as frequently as the
Spartans, and no situation was as
dire as the one Michigan faced at
the Big House in mid-October.
The Spartans turned a botched
punt into a last-play, game-winning touchdown at Michigan.
The play was dubbed Michigan
State’s Miracle, but in some ways
it symbolized the Spartans’ greatest traits. They seem to embrace
adversity and delight in being the
underdog.
Those qualities should serve
them well against an Alabama
team that is favored by nine points,
but has rarely been challenged
deep into the fourth quarter.
OKLAHOMA
The result is even more puzzling
now than it was back in October:
Texas 24, Oklahoma 17.
There was nothing complicated
about what went wrong in Dallas.
The Sooners did not play tough.
They missed tackles and blocks.
Instead of allowing that dud to
define their season, quarterback
Baker Mayfield and the Sooners
went on a seven-game winning
streak, outscoring opponents 364136.
Still, if not for Steven Parker
slapping down TCU’s 2-point conversion pass in the final seconds
to preserve a 30-29 win in late
November, the Sooners would not
be here.
Clemson’s talented defensive
line and improving offensive line
will test the Sooners’ toughness
the way Texas did.

of the high-achieving academic
teams.
“It’s pretty good that if the
NCAA had to, on a rare year, dip
and take a team from the five-win
category, let’s reach into the people who are doing it right from an
academic standpoint,” Spartans
coach Ron Caragher said.
The value of a bid goes beyond
playing another game. The extra
practices are huge for 5-7 teams
like Nebraska, where first-year
coach Mike Riley’s team fell well
short of expectations.
“The bowl practices and
additional game will allow us to
continue to build as a program,”
Riley said.
The Foster Farms is among
three teams in the second tier of
Big Ten bowls and was the last of
those to choose. Executive director Gary Cavalli said his bowl
could have chosen Nebraska or
Minnesota or picked a six-win
team from outside the Big Ten.
“Clearly, from the get-go, the
decision was to stay with the Big
Ten,” Cavalli said.
Nebraska got the edge over
Minnesota because, he said,
there is greater interest in the
Huskers in the Bay Area and that
UCLA is a program with which
Nebraska has some history.
By going to the Quick Lane,
Minnesota is in a bowl for
the fourth straight year. The
Gophers will be playing their
fifth game under Tracy Claeys,
the former defensive coordinator who took over as head coach
after Jerry Kill retired for health
reasons Oct. 28. Claeys has since
been named full-time coach.
“We’re playing within the
rules. We got chosen at 5-7, and
that’s the rules that are there,”
Claeys said. “I’m proud of that
and proud of the kids for that.”
San Jose State of the Mountain West Conference slid into
the Cure Bowl because the
American Athletic Conference
couldn’t provide a team. All eight
AAC bowl-eligible teams were
spoken for after Houston made
a New Year’s Six game (Peach
Bowl), and Tulsa went to the
Independence Bowl, a secondary
AAC partner, because the Southeastern Conference didn’t have a
team available.
Caragher certainly isn’t apologizing for going to a bowl at
5-7. His 2013 team went 6-6 and
didn’t go to a bowl.
“Life sometimes balances
out,” Caragher said. “Sometimes
things happen in a roundabout
way. We were so close on a couple games you could easily flip
our record — a two-point loss to
BYU, overtime loss to Nevada. I
feel like we were right there as
a 6-6 or 7-5 team. We came up
short.”
It’s the second straight year a
Mountain West team has gone
to a bowl with a losing record.
Fresno State was 6-7 after losing
the 2014 league title game but
was assured a bowl because of
a conference rule guaranteeing a
bid to a division champion.
The NCAA granted waivers
to 6-7 teams in Georgia Tech
in 2012 and UCLA in 2011 after
both had appeared in their conference’s championship games.
North Texas in 2001 became the
first five-win team to play in a
bowl because it was the Sun Belt
Conference champion.

PRO GOLF
Watson pulls away to win in Bahamas
NASSAU, Bahamas — A few
years after Bubba Watson made
it onto the PGA Tour, he started
waking up early to play practice
rounds with Tiger Woods. He
didn’t ask a lot of questions of the
world’s No. 1 player who already
had 14 majors when he was 32.
“I learn by watching and listening,” Watson said. “So I just
watched. How would you not
want to learn from the best player
of our generation?”
Woods, the tournament host,
was watching Sunday as Watson
delivered a performance that
looked familiar in its efficiency.
Staked to a two-shot lead going
into the final round, Watson made
four birdies in seven holes and
was never seriously challenged.
He sailed home to a 6-under 66
and a three-shot victory over Patrick Reed at Albany Golf Club in
the Hero World Challenge.
Watson wasn’t even planning
to play this week. He turned down
his invitation a few months ago
because he didn’t have a passport
for his newly adopted daughter,
Dakota. But when PGA champion Jason Day backed out to stay
home with his newborn daughter,
Watson’s wife was able to expedite all the right documents for
the family to come over to the
Bahamas.
He left with a $1 million payoff
and a firm grasp on No. 4 in the
world the rest of the year.
“I guess I’ve got to thank Jason
Day for backing out. I have to
thank the U.S. government and
passport office for getting Dakota
a passport so we could be here,”
Watson said. “For us, it’s a good
ride, a fun ride.”
Even if it didn’t feel easy to him,
it sure looked that way.
Watson didn’t make a bogey
all weekend until the final hole,
when he jokingly asked NBC field
reporter Notah Begay how many
shots he needed to win. He played
it safe and made bogey, and all
that cost him was the tournament record. Watson finished at
25-under 263, one shot from Jordan Spieth’s record last year at
Isleworth.
Reed also had a 66 to finish
alone in second, moving him to
No. 10 in the world for the first
time. Rickie Fowler had a 64 to
finish third.
Spieth tried to stay in range
and was three shots behind until
he missed a 4-foot birdie putt
on the ninth hole and never converted many chances after that.
He ended his year with a 67, and
walking up the 18th, he and caddie Michael Greller allowed for a
quick reflection.
“Michael said, ‘Hey, man, it’s
been an honor to be in the passenger seat, sitting shotgun for
this ride. Thanks for everything,’”
Spieth said. “I obviously thanked
him. It’s been a team effort this
year, just as we always stress. But
yeah, there was certainly a sigh of
relief.”
The Masters and U.S. Open
champion strengthened his grip
on No. 1 in the world, and headed
off to a three-week vacation
before going out to Maui for the
first tournament of what figures
to be a tough encore. First up:
A trip to Augusta National this
weekend to play with his father.
Watson’s year is not finished.
He was headed to New York on
Sunday night to catch a flight to
Asia for the Thailand Open.
The two-time Masters champion already had a two-week
trip away from his family, and
he didn’t want to do that again.
So when there was uncertainty
about getting his daughter a passport for the Bahamas, he decided
he would stay home this week and
asked the tournament to let him
know if anyone pulled out.
Day withdrew, Watson’s wife
spent eight hours in an Arizona
office trying to get all the paperwork and they were on their way.
Watson seized control with
seven birdies and an eagle on Saturday in ideal weather for a twoshot lead over Paul Casey, and he
started fast with birdies on the
second and third holes to keep his
distance. No one got closer than
two shots all day, and as Fowler
made a move with a 30 on the
front nine, Watson answered with
two straight birdies to start the
back nine, and then it was a matter of finishing.
Justin Rose, who lives at
Albany and has lingered at the
bottom of the leaderboard all
week, set the course record with
a 62.
For Watson, the next step is
to be a more consistent winner.
This was the ninth victory worldwide in his career, and the second
straight year he has won multiple
times.
“I want my name to be close
to that leaderboard every tournament, every year, so people
are always talking about Bubba
Watson, about how consistent he
is and good he is,” Watson said.
“That’s my whole focus right now.”

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Nate
Britt matched his career high
with 17 points and No. 9 North
Carolina rolled to a huge firsthalf lead to beat Davidson 98-65
on Sunday.
Justin Jackson added 15
points to help the Tar Heels (7-1)
cap a big week with an easy win
over the cold-shooting Wildcats
(5-1). North Carolina scored
the first 10 points, then used an
18-4 run to build a 25-point lead
before the break.
It was a good finish to a week
that saw the Tar Heels get senior
guard Marcus Paige back from
a hand injury that had sidelined
him since the preseason. Paige
scored 20 points Tuesday night
in a victory over No. 2 Maryland
in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Jack Gibbs led Davidson with
19 points.

FUN & ADVICE
Holiday greeting
need not prompt
a religious claim
DEAR ABBY: Every
year around the holidays, Dear Abby
well-intentioned strangers
wish me and my family
“Merry Christmas!” Even
though we are Jewish, I
always have regarded it to
be a kind gesture to spread
good cheer. I smile and
return the greeting.
My children have asked
me why I don’t tell people
we’re Jewish and we don’t
celebrate Christmas. I By JEANNE PHILLIPS
Universal Press
don’t feel I need to educate
Syndicate
strangers when they’re just
trying to be friendly, but
my kids don’t agree. We’ve
had several discussions about being friendly and
polite, but still they ask if being Jewish is something to keep secret or be embarrassed about.
I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but I
do want to give my children the message we are
proud of who we are. How do you recommend I
handle this situation, because it happens a lot?
— JILL IN SANTA ROSA, CALIF.
DEAR JILL: Explain to your children you
return the greeting to be polite, not because you
feel being Jewish is anything to be ashamed of.
The strangers who do this are saying something
nice, and you are returning the greeting.
However, the response to people to whom you
are closer and with whom there will be a deeper
relationship should be different. To them, your
children should explain they are Jewish and you
celebrate Hanukkah rather than Christmas. When
you’re with them, if they feel the need to assert
their Jewish identity, they should go right ahead
and do it.
DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend
for 16 years. Last year, I found out he was married
before I met him and still is married to her. He
never told me he was married when I met him —
or at all. If he had, we wouldn’t be together.
His wife contacted me on Facebook because
she was looking for him. I was in disbelief. We
almost got married in 2007, which would have
been bigamy. I have stayed with him for the sake of
our children, but I’m miserable.
I recently reconnected with a male friend from
high school. We have been talking, but not romantically. He knows my situation. The problem is, he
said he had a crush on me back in school and still
does. I have feelings for him, too — more than just
friendship. What do I do?
— EMOTIONALLY LOST IN MARYLAND
DEAR LOST: I can only imagine the extent to
which your trust has been shaken. What you need
to do right now is recognize how vulnerable you
are feeling. What you shouldn’t do is rebound from
one relationship into another.
Because you no longer are happy with your
boyfriend, consult an attorney to ensure your children’s father lives up to his financial obligations to
them. If you don’t have a job, start looking for one
to supplement the child support income.
Once you have established economic independence, you will be in a better position to judge
whether your old high school friend is your knight
in shining armor.
ARIES (March 21-April

19) ####" You generally are
as extroverted and intense
as they come. You might not
understand what is going on,
but you’ll have a need to retreat.
Don’t make the assumption
this experience is negative; it’s
just different. Tonight: As you
like it.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) ####" Consider how
you could change the way you
and others see a situation, but By JACQUELINE
keep those thoughts to yourBIGAR
self unless someone asks for
King Features
feedback. Tonight: The only The Stars Show the Kind
answer is “yes.”
of Day You’ll Have:
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) #####"- Dynamic
#####"You could be concen- ####"- Positive
###"- Average
trating on a specific issue. You ##"- So-so
might have difficulty indulging #"- Difficult
in conversations about other
matters, as your mind is elsewhere. Be willing to take a risk. Tonight: Take the
time you need for yourself and/or a project.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) ####" You might not
be able to close down the muse laying within you.
You might want to remain relatively discreet. You will
know when the time is right to share more of your
thoughts and ideas. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ####" You’ll want to
rethink a personal situation. You feel as if you see eye
to eye with the other party involved and can come to
an agreement. You rarely feel strongly about these type
of situations,. Tonight: Head home early, if you can.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) #####" You might
want more free time to visit with a partner. Enjoy the
moment but be rational in your choices. What a loved
one feels could be off as well. Tonight: Continue the
happy moment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ####" You will be
tempted to make a purchase and/or head in a certain
direction. Make sure you are aware of the costs of this
expenditure. Tonight: Meet a friend for some eggnog.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) #####" Sometimes,
when we overthink a personal matter, we get into trouble. Perhaps you need to take some time off for holiday
shopping, if nothing else. Tonight: The world is your
oyster.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ###" Friends
might notice a serene quality emanating from you.
More than likely, it stems from a personal matter. In
fact, you are on your way to letting it go, or at least seeing it from another perspective. Tonight: All is well.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ####"Often, you
find others don’t seem to understand where you are
coming from. All the activity surrounding you needs
to be pushed away if you are to accomplish anything.
Tonight: Open the door for others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) #####"One-on-one
relating takes on a new level of caring that somehow
leaks into other areas of your life. The possibilities for
change are many, should you decide to take a leap of
faith. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ####" A situation
you might have perceived as being hostile likely has
become one of caring. You feel much better once
you break down barriers between you and others.
Tonight: Start hanging up some mistletoe.

George Lucas
received the

nation’s highest
award
for

achievement in the arts.
Lucas and four others were

appearance to make a national
address. The Obamas, however,
had a reception for the honorees
Sunday afternoon at the White
House.
Lucas created the “Star Wars”
and “Indiana Jones” movie franchises. This year’s other honorees
were singer-songwriter Carole
King, actress and singer Rita
Moreno, conductor Seiji Ozawa
and actress Cicely Tyson.
Lucas was honored as a pioneering filmmaker who redefined how films are made. King is
known for her landmark album,
“Tapestry,” but she also wrote No.
1 songs for other artists, including
“(You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman” for Aretha Franklin and “You’ve Got a Friend” for
James Taylor.
Moreno had a long career on
Broadway, highlighted by playing
Anita in “West Side Story;” Ozawa
served as a leading orchestral conductors in the world; and Tyson
enjoyed a 50-year acting career on
stage, in television and movies.
Stephen Colbert hosted the
gala for the second time. It will be

Down in
the dumps
By FRANK STEWART
Tribune Content Agency

Beetle Bailey

Cy the Cynic is a confirmed
pessimist — he absorbs sunshine and radiates gloom — but
I’d never seen him so downcast.
“What ails you?” I asked.
Cy showed me today’s deal.
“I was South,” he said. “When
North jumped to 2NT, I almost
bid slam. After I settled for game
and East doubled, I redoubled.”
West led the king of clubs, and
East ruffed dummy’s ace and
led a trump. The Cynic won in
dummy and led a club, but East
ruffed (!) to lead his last trump.
Cy could ruff one club in dummy
but lost two clubs to West at the
end. Down one!
“Fate kicked me in the teeth,”
Cy said.
I was afraid that if I leveled
with Cy, he might go jump off a
cliff. When he wins East’s trump
shift at Trick Two, he can ruff
a heart and lead a club. If East
ruffs and leads a trump, Cy wins
in dummy, ruffs a heart, ruffs a
club and ruffs a heart.
Cy then leads a diamond to
dummy, returns a fourth heart
and pitches his ace of diamonds
on East’s ace! East must give
dummy the rest.
