The investment plan emphasized capital expenditures throughout the past and what it means for the upcoming budget for the city.

Knabel said the plan emphasizes a true and complete investment into Newton.

Salvation Army seeking help in fundraising efforts

By Kate Malott Daily News Staff Writer

There are only six more bell-ringing days for the Sal-vation Army between now and Christmas; that ’s one week to raise the remainder of their budgeted $37,500 for the Red Kettles. As of Dec. 14, just more than $18,000 has been brought in through the Red Kettles.

“It ’s been a tough year for the kettles,” Salvation Army Captain Jeff Carter said. “Part of the reason is that the bell-ringing season is so much shorter this year, with Thanksgiving coming so late.”

Traditionally, bell ringing for the Salvation Army begins the day after Thanksgiving and goes through Christmas Eve.

“Some Salvation Army units start earlier, or keep the kettles out until New Year’s Eve,” Carter said, “but I really try to respect our community and the holidays, and will not keep the kettles out past the 24th of De-cember.”

It ’s not just in Jasper County the Salvation Army is struggling. Across the Salvation Army’s Western Divi-sion, including Western Iowa, Nebraska and South Da-kota, and across the Central Territory, Salvation Army units are reporting a marked decrease in revenue com-pared to this time last year. In addition to the shortened season, other possible factors for the shortfall include severe weather and the general state of the economy.

The Red Kettles are not the only source of revenue for the Salvation Army. In addition to the bell ringing at local stores, the Salvation Army also solicits dona-tions through the mail.

DNR plans winter release of trout in seven spots

DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa De-partment of Natural Resources plans to re-lease trout in seven spots around the state this winter.

The program, which is financed by trout fishing fees, places the fish in areas where they couldn’t survive in warmer months.

with 12 laps to go, hard-charging Trevor Bayne got by and took the checkers.

“The race saw 12 lead changes among four drivers,” NASCAR spokeswoman Amanda Ellis said in the announcement. “Bayne, who got married five days earlier, notched his second career victory in the series and his first since taking over the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford vacated by two-time NASCAR Nationwide champion Ricky Sten-house Jr.”

“We’re obviously thrilled to have been included by NASCAR as one of the top Nationwide Series races last season,” Iowa Speedway Presi-dent Jimmy Small said. “Short track racing produces exciting action, and by being the fastest short track on the planet, we expect to put on a great show at every event.”

Bayne’s performance in the race as resulted in an award of his own from NASCAR. The Daytona 500 champion was named one of the Nationwide Series “Comeback Drivers of the Year.”

Going into the 2013 season, no driver had more pressure to succeed. He had just stepped in for the two-

time, back-to-back series champ Stenhouse and Roush Fenway Rac-ing was still waiting to see if he could handle the expectations of working with a championship-caliber team.

He delivered, epitomized by his DuPont Pioneer 250 performance.

It was later announced Bayne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis the same week as his Iowa Speed-way victory. Still, he was able to post career bests in both top fives (seven) and top 10s (21) while posting his highest finish ever — sixth — in the season-ending championship stand-ings.

He spent all but four weeks in the top 10 of the standings.

Talk of the Town

And now the stadium’s quietStanding here alone on this old 50

yard lineIf I listen close

I can hear battle cries

Of all the heroes come and gone be-fore I was alive

The memories of fourth and three

Now that rival game is coming back to me

It meant more than a big state ring

If we could do it again it’d never be the same

Remember the lights and the butter-fl ies

Giving it all just one last time— Brantley Gilbert,

“Friday Night”

As I was sitting in at a recent Chamber meeting, I got an idea to have a song, telling a story, to plead Newton’s case to become a Main Street Community. The above verse from Brantley Gilbert’s song, and an-other recent event inspired this week’s edition of “Hometown Kid.”

In a sense, no matter how old we get, we’re always waiting to get to Fri-day Night.

I will always remember the scream-ing crowds, but now I fi nd inspiration in the quiet moments, just listening to the wind and thinking about how many stories came out of this piece of ground. It’s been said, through the years, you can still hear and feel the spirit of those who have took the fi eld long before we were even thought of.

I listened to Gilbert’s lyrics, re-membering how in everything that has been accomplished, it was about “more than a big state ring.” It’s about the stories and the memories; four years of getting to Friday to continue a tradition and a legacy handed to us by those who busted their butts to make Newton what it is today.

I attended a meeting this past week where I heard someone say, “Where are they at now?” talking about a since-disbanded group in Newton.

I had a chance to experience the since disbanded group, and the com-ment left me wondering ‘Who are we to talk about them?’ I was taught to honor our elders whether they were successful or failured, because we may at some point fi nd ourselves in a situ-ation leading to the success and failure of what we’re trying to do.

The fi rst time I met Craig Peters, a former Newton Senior High School student-athlete, at a church camp. He was one of my many “teachers” on this very subject. He reminded me the feeling of those Fridays will never be the same, but it’s everything you do in between Fridays that will make those feelings come back.

It goes without saying 2014 will have a huge impact on what will be in line for the future of Newton. But if it weren’t for those who came before us, regardless of whether they failed or had success, the bar wouldn’t be set high for us today.

Now it’s our place to raise the bar and the standard for those who will come after us, just as our elders did for the generations before them.

In the holiday season, remember to celebrate the ones who have paved the road for you and helped you to be where you are today.

My birthday won’t come around for another six months, give or take, so I have no idea what it’s like to have a birthday that falls on or near Christ-mas.

My grandfa-ther celebrated his birthday — his 85th birthday — last Sunday. It reminded me of an old fam-ily tradition we had when I was young.

Grandpa gets to have his birth-day, then we can decorate for Christmas. Then, the decorations tended to stay up a little extra long, usually until mid-January.

Now that I have my own fam-ily, we’ve created our own tradition, putting the decorations up some-time around Thanksgiving. I don’t think we’ve lost anything along the way; it’s just something my family does differently now.

And I know he’s OK with it.My grandfather grew up in east-

ern Nebraska during the Dirt Bowl years. It was a tough life; a few of his siblings didn’t survive their fi rst year of life and his mother passed away when he was still fairly young.

He graduated from high school, though, having already completed his freshman year at the University

of Nebraska. And, when he com-pleted college, he immediately went to work as a civil engineer and land surveyor.

He’s still licensed as both in Iowa, and he actively uses those licenses on a fairly regular basis.

“Some of those projects aren’t straightforward. Some of them make you think. I think that’s good for the brain,” he told me the other day. “And, it lets me get out of the house every once in a while.”

My grandfather was the city en-gineer in my hometown, Boone, for more than 50 years. The town changed a lot — the technology even more so — over that time, and I’m proud to say he had a hand in all of it.

Both my uncle and my father joined him in the family business. My father eventually started his own fi rm, which provides land sur-veying services all across the Mid-west.

I got my start at the age of 4, bringing my Tonka construction toys with me to play in the aggre-gate piles while my dad was doing the materials testing for road con-struction projects. Before I had a li-cense to drive a car, I was inspecting road construction projects, as well.

I only discovered later — prob-ably after I broke my grandfather’s heart — that the family business was intended to be handed down to me one day. I obviously went in

a different direction — fi rst to the Navy (following another grandfa-ther’s footsteps), then to journalism.

When I returned home from the Navy, and before I started the path that eventually led me to where I am today, I briefl y went back to work for the the family business.

A college student working for my grandfather was having trouble getting a tripod to set up level on an incline. Trying to manhandle the tripod while holding the plumb-bob over his point of reference, he looked overwhelmed.

I asked if I could help. Just like my grandfather had shown me when I was younger, I took over the tripod, picked up a rock, and in about three drops of the rock and four twists of the leveler dials, I had the instrument set up.

That’s far from the most impor-tant thing he taught me, though. From my grandfather, I developed a strong work ethic and an apprecia-tion for hard work, I learned how to lead without dictating and I gained an appreciation for service to others.

I wouldn’t be who and what I am today without my grandfather. That’s why I’m so glad to still have him around.

Happy belated birthday, Grand-pa!

Submitted PhotoNewton police officers and Jasper County deputies recently helped children in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program shop for Christmas gifts for their family members, at no cost to the families, as part of the annual Shop With Cops event. The children enjoyed lunch later at the Masonic Lodge in Newton, and police officers’ spouses helped them wrap their presents with a visit from Santa.

Shop With Cops

OPEN, which stands for Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors, is an organiztion that promotes relations between interna-tional communities. Newton has two sister cities, Smila, Ukraine and Wu Chi, Tai-wan, and Jane Ann became the first OPEN member to visit Wu Chi.

“I have been to Ukraine a number of times, starting in 1993, so when I had the wonderful opportunity to fi-nally travel in November to our sister city area in Taiwan, I was excited,” Jane Ann said. “May-May Ng has been a good friend of OPEN and she invited me to accompany her to Taiwan.

“We landed in Taipei and spent a few days there be-fore traveling by train to the Wu Chi area, which is part of greater Taichung, a large city in central Taiwan,” she

continued.Wu Chi sent Jason Wu to

Newton as an exchange stu-dent for the current school year. Jane Ann used this op-portunity to meet Jason’s family and update them on his progress here in America. “I spent a delightful day with the family of our current stu-dent, Jason Wu,” Jane Ann said. “Jason’s mother and sister, who is a university student and made a special effort to travel to her home area for the weekend, at-tended a special luncheon planned by Jason’s family and (former exchange stu-dent) Min-Hua Song’s fam-ily.”

Jane Ann said after the luncheon, she and both the families traveled to the Wu residence for tea and conver-sation until dinner time.

“After traveling a short distance to the nearby Kou Mei Wetland, we had an-other wonderful meal to-gether,” Jane Ann said. “Ja-son’s father is a police officer

and his work responsibilities kept him from attending the day’s festivities. However, after work he made a special effort to come to the hotel to meet me.”

Besides meeting the Wu family, which Jane Ann said she felt was a treat, she said her favorite part of the trip was a visit to Chung Gang Senior High School, where she met English teacher Tina Ou and visited her English class of 45 seniors.

“Upon arrival at (CGHS), Min-Hua met us with flow-ers and she and the princi-pal’s secretary led us to the principal’s office for an of-ficial welcome. After being escorted to Tina Ou’s room, the class gave a warm wel-come and made presenta-tions in English about spe-cial locations in Taiwan and presentations about typical popular food, with samples.”

After leaving the class, Jane Ann said the princi-pal drove her to a seafood restaurant she described as

“wonderful” and it is where she met another influential individual.

“I met with the former mayor of Wu Chi—who signed the original 1995 document creating the sister city agreement—and who is now the elected councilor representing the Wu Chi area in a merged government with Taichung City,” Jane Ann said.

“It was a cordial meet-ing and communications with them will continue,” she continued. “The school contact is very amazing and in the future, we may have a small group of stu-dents studying English from CGHS, whose interest is to visit Newton Senior High School and spend a week or two in Newton.”

In a way, Jane Ann has de-scribed OPEN as being very successful at making global relations and cites the 38 vis-its students from both Tai-wan and the Ukraine have made to Newton, along with

the numerous professionals as proof.

“Our cultural programs have been numerous and al-lowed our community the opportunity for exposure on many levels of music, art and sculpture, historical fo-cus—too many to name in-dividually,” she said. “All of the visitors and participants in these activities have been home hosted, providing a rich cultural experience to the host families.”

Jane Ann believes OPEN’s work has been a positive thing for Newton, which is why she has been serving on the board since its inception.

“The biggest benefit to Newton, having a group such as OPEN, is the exposure that many businesses, fami-lies and schools have had as a result of our activities and projects,” Jane Ann said.

“The Community Investment Plan repre-sents a true investment. We’re looking at capi-tal expenditure items — things like equip-ment, streets, facilities, water pollution control, buildings and airports,” he said. “Those kind of investments are huge when you look at the City of Newton. Any organization, regardless of type or size, makes its biggest investments within its employees and capitol expenditures.

“Those are critical to the success of the orga-nization — to identify, pay for and meet the needs through the hu-man resources — but it’s also a challenge when you look at the scope of the needs when it comes to infrastructure.”

Although many things have been pushed

aside over the years, Knabel cautioned that doing something simple may save money for the city in long run while it establishes funds to complete the expendi-ture.

“I label those as the ‘sleeping giant’ or the ‘si-lent killer,’ because if you just don’t pay attention to it, and a lot of things are underground — you don’t see water and sewer needs — things quietly get by,” Knabel said. “It’s a critical plan-ning tool that balances out what our long-term needs are with long-term funding.”

Knabel pointed out the city has been doing a good job on many ar-eas in investment but showed that connecting the two has been a weak point in the process.

“I would say that the document you have is not as strong in that area of connecting the two,” Knable said. “We do a

good job of identifying the needs, and we do a good job of identifying the available funding sources, but not neces-sarily do we tag the one to one, and that is an area we need to strengthen. It allows the councils to set the direction for those infrastructure de-cisions. They’re not ones that can easily be made because they involve large sums of money, engineering, design and financing decisions.”

Knabel emphasized the challenging history the city has overcome with great resolve but said much work is still needed.

“The history here has been one where we have been challenged to meet those long-term infra-structure needs,” Knabel said. “Starting in 2003, we have seen changes that have impacted us, where over that period of time the city has lost some of its ability

to meet the infrastruc-ture capital expenditure needs.”

He also noted some-times expenditures get worse when pushed by the citizens of the city. This results in having to deal with a larger expen-diture.

“It’s the idea that, ex-cept when it’s my street, it’s alright to cut that capital expenditure be-cause it doesn’t impact me immediately,” Kna-bel said. “But if you con-tinue to cut it year after year, then you begin to

find that if you’re going to do a street repair, you will have to do a total re-construction versus do-ing just an overlay.”

The Community In-vestment Plan has re-sulted in frustration within the council and city staff, but having the plan in hand will show the exact needs of the expenditures.

“It’s been a frustra-tion between council and staff with there be-ing a lot of money iden-tified as being for a need, but there’s no money in

hand to do it,” Kna-bel said. “So staff gets frustrated. If there’s no money, then why plan, which is kind of a Catch 22.”

The full Community Investment Plan is avail-able at the Newton City Government website’s Agenda Center at www.newtongov.org/Agenda-Center.

DEAR ABBY: I married “Larry” five years ago, and he is good to me. I have two beautiful grandchildren who are my daughter’s. If I don’t see them once a week I miss them. (They are 2 1/2 and 16 months old.) Larry doesn’t miss the babies or want to see them once a week. Sometimes when they come to the house, he doesn’t speak to them or play with them. He says he wants his peace and quiet at the house.

Larry’s great with the babies in public. He is also good about playing with our friends’ kids. But he doesn’t want the grandchildren to spend the night here because he doesn’t want his sleep disturbed. (He can get up at 4 a.m. to go fishing, though.)

He has two sons and doesn’t mind if he hears from them only twice a year. He’s the type of person who says what he thinks without caring if it’s rude or hurtful. If you don’t like him, he can live without being friends with you. No one comes to visit us at our home.

I miss my family, my daughter and the babies. Do I leave? — UNHAPPY IN THE SUNSHINE STATE

DEAR UNHAPPY: If you are the one making all the concessions, make a list of Larry’s good qualities, and then make one that includes how he refuses to compromise, makes you feel lonely and isolated, and says things without regard to whether they are hurtful to others. Place them side by side, and you will have your answer.

DEAR ABBY: After recently meeting my older brother’s male roommate, a few things occurred that make me wonder if my brother is gay. Whether he is or not doesn’t matter to me, and I don’t feel it’s my business to find out unless he chooses to share it with me.

Although I am a strong supporter of the gay and lesbian community, my concern is that because we were raised in an extremely conservative home,

my brother may think I still hold those beliefs and may be reluctant to confide in me. I don’t want to make a wrong assumption about his sexual-ity, nor do I want to force him out of the closet before he’s ready. How can I let him know I support him, no mat-ter what, without crossing the line? — LIBERAL GIRL IN TEXAS

DEAR LIBERAL GIRL: There are ways to communicate your feel-ings to your brother without being di-rect. If you are still in school, consider joining a gay/straight alliance. If you see something in the news about a gay issue, call it to his attention and say something positive. Or, if you think that might make him uncomfortable, how about giving him a hug and tell-ing him how lucky you feel to have him as a brother and that you will love him forever? (Come to think of it, a straight sibling might also appreciate hearing it.)

DEAR ABBY: Does being invited to an engagement party “guarantee” you will also be invited to the wed-ding? — LOOKING AHEAD IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

DEAR LOOKING AHEAD: Yes, it does. And for that not to hap-pen is a HUGE breach of etiquette on the part of whoever is hosting the wedding, whether it’s the bride’s par-ents or the couple themselves.

Husband’s peace and quiet makes wife feel discontent

Ginger provides health benefi ts

Ginger, associated with gingerbread cookies and holiday goodies, has many health benefi ts. Ginger has been used to treat motion sickness and to control nau-sea for many years. Now research has revealed other health benefi ts. Studies show specifi c plant chemicals in ginger root also have antioxi-dant and anti-infl ammatory activities. The studies sug-gest that ginger can prevent chemotherapy induced nau-sea and vomiting, and reduce exercise induced joint pain. Ginger is even being stud-ied for colon cancer preven-tion in people at high risk for colorectal cancer.

Ginger is sold fresh, pow-dered, candied and even pickled. Fresh ginger con-tains higher levels of antioxi-dants, so it’s best to buy fresh. Fresh ginger has a robust, spicy, often hot taste. Look for a root that is smooth (not wrinkly) and fi rm. Mature ginger, which is most com-mon, needs to be peeled,

while younger ginger, found in Asian markets does not. The biggest challenge with using fresh ginger is getting it peeled. It helps to cut a piece off of the ginger root the size that you’ll need and work with a small piece at a time. Peel the ginger with a sharp paring knife or veg-etable peeler. Store any un-peeled ginger in the refrig-erator for about three weeks, or freeze up to six months. Once peeled, recipes may call for ginger thinly sliced, minced or grated. Try adding fresh ginger to marinades for meat, poultry, or fi sh, or add to stir fries, soups, and salads. The later ginger is added in the cooking process, the more pronounced its fl avor and aroma.

Powdered ginger is easier to use and is typically used in baking, but can also be add-ed to stews and meat dish-es. Candied ginger can be chopped and added to quick breads like banana bread, or sprinkled in fruit salads.

To reap the benefi ts of ginger go beyond ginger ale and gingersnaps and try this

quick stir fry dish.Gingered Beef Stir Fry½ pound boneless beef

Higher blood pressure OK in older adults CHICAGO (AP) —

Many older adults with high blood pressure can be treated less aggressively, which could mean taking fewer pills to get it under control, according to new treatment guidelines from an expert panel. But not all experts are on board with the advice — including the federal agency that appoint-ed the group.

Panel members stressed that they are not changing the definition of high blood pressure: 140 over 90. For adults aged 60 and older, they are recommending a higher treatment threshold,

prescribing medicine only when blood pressure levels reach 150 over 90 or higher.

Too aggressive blood pressure treatment can cause fainting and falls in older patients, or bad inter-actions with drugs they’re already taking for other ill-nesses, panel members said.

The panel does endorse the lower target of 140 over 90 for younger adults — and for all adults who also have diabetes or kidney disease.

For many patients, two or three drugs — or more — are needed to bring their blood pressure down. Many older adults could prob-

ably reduce their doses, or take fewer drugs, to reach the new, less strict target, said Dr. Paul James, a panel member and family medi-cine specialist-researcher at the University of Iowa.

James said panel mem-bers chose to release their guidelines independently to get the recommendations out sooner and into the hands of primary care doc-tors, who treat large num-bers of patients with high blood pressure. The guide-lines were published online Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical As-sociation.

■ ON THEIR WAY: New Heat Surge Mini-Glo Efficiency Heaters will soon be delivered to lucky Newton area residents who beat the 48-hour order dead-line and live in one of the zip code areas listed in today’s publication. Everyone’s getting the Upstairs-Downstairs Efficiency Combo of two Heat Surge Mini-Glo Efficiency Heaters because they only use pennies an hour of electricity to drastically slash home heat bills.

New heaters go to Iowa residents by zip codeBrand new heaters are being delivered to the first Newton area residents who call before the 48 hour order deadline ends to get the new Mini-Glo Heaters to drastically slash home heat bills

Never be cold again: If you live in one of the Newton area zip codes listed below call the special 48 hour hotlines to get the new heater that only uses about the same energy per hour as a coffee maker to help make heat bills hit rock bottom

IOWA – The Toll Free Hotlines are ringing off the hook.

That’s because Newton area res-idents who find the first two dig-its of their zip code listed in today’s publication are getting new heat-ers that quickly put a stop to high heat bills forever.

Newton area residents who get the new Heat Surge® Mini-Glo Effi-ciency Heaters by calling the Toll Free Hotlines before the 48-hour order deadline ends will never have to pay high heat bills again.

“We all know that freezing cold weather is setting in and heat bills are going to skyrocket this winter. That’s why I’ve given the directive to give the first Newton area resi-dents who call in the next 48 hours a massive discount on our brand new Efficiency Heaters,” said David Martin, General Manager of U.S. based Heat Surge.

And here’s the best part. Everyone who calls the Toll Free Hotline is getting a massive dis-count allowing them to claim the new heaters for just $149 and ship-ping and handling as long as they call before the 48-hour deadline ends.

Heat Surge’s latest heating miracle is being called the Mini-Glo Efficiency because its micro design easily goes from room to room to help you save a ton on heat bills.

Demand for Heat Surge heaters has skyrocketed to stardom ever since consumer reviews surfaced showing just how much money ultra-efficient zone heat saves peo-ple on heat bills which is why this announcement is being so widely advertised.

According to the avalanche of consumer reviews for the original Heat Surge heaters, people abso-lutely swear by them, repeatedly saying, “it saves money,” “looks beautiful,” and “keeps you warm and cozy.” That’s why Newton area residents will be scrambling to get them starting at precisely 8:30am this morning.

The new Heat Surge Mini-Glo Efficiency heats for just fourteen cents an hour to drastically slash home heat bills.

In fact, it gives you 74° of bone-soothing room heat even when the home thermostat is turned down to 59°. That means you can zone heat and never be cold again. And since it only uses about the same energy per hour as a coffee maker you’ll save a ton on your heat bills, too.

The new Mini-Glo Efficiency Heater comes with Fireless Flame

technology that gives you the peaceful flicker of a real fire but without any flames, fumes, ashes, or mess so it’s totally safe to the touch.

The good news is, the new Heat Surge Mini-Glo Efficiency Heater is virtually maintenance free and comes fully assembled, so all you have to do is plug it in and relax in front of the Fireless Flame.

People everywhere got off easy last winter, but everyone knows that the cold weather is setting in this year. And we all know that frigid cold temperatures mean sky-rocketing heat bills.

That’s why everyone is rushing to get the new Heat Surge Mini-Glo Efficiency Heater that saves a ton of money on heat bills with zone heating and keeps you warm all winter long.

“We’re bracing ourselves for all the calls because everyone who wants to really save on their heat bills and stay warm this winter will be calling immediately to make sure they get their new heater at a massive discount,” said Martin.

“As soon as you turn on the new Heat Surge Mini-Glo Effi-ciency Heater you’ll instantly feel the bone-soothing heat and you’ll never be cold and miserable again,” he said.

“To make sure everyone gets their new Heat Surge Mini-Glo Ef-ficiency Heater before the harsh winter weather hits, UPS® driv-ers have been instructed to make home deliveries anywhere in the United States,” Martin said.

“Just remember, to get your new heater you must find the first two digits of your zip code listed in today’s publication and be one of the first Newton area readers to call the Toll Free Hotline at 1-888-414-2571 before the 48-hour deadline ends,” he said. ■

How It Works: You get 74º of bone-soothing room heat even when the home thermostat is turned down to 59º with the fi rst-ever Heat Surge Mini-Glo Effi ciency Heater

This is the revolutionary Heat Surge Mini-Glo Effi ciency Heater. It’s a work of engineering genius so ad-vanced, it actually uses a micro-furnace from the coast of China to perform its miracles. The micro-furnace quickly heats the air in any room, taking care of all the cold spots. In fact, it actually produces Ortho-Thermic, bone-soothing heat. This modern marvel is being called a miracle because its micro design easily goes from room to room and uses just a trickle of electricity so you can turn down your thermostat and use

its ultra-effi cient zone heat to save a ton of money on heat bills based on a U.S. average that says it uses only pennies of electricity an hour, yet it produces up to an amazing 3,685 British Thermal Units (BTUs) delivering a full 1,200 watts on the standard setting. The Heat Surge Mini-Glo is a showpiece in any room. That’s because it has the ambiance of a real fi replace, but it has no real fl ames. Its Fireless Flame technology makes it safe to the touch.

At just 13.44"W x 9.43"H x 6.63"D and weighing only 12lbs, the new Heat Surge Mini-Glo Effi ciency Heater is ultra portable and comes fully assembled so when it arrives, all you do is just plug it in.

■ SAFE: The Fireless Flame® looks so real it fools everyone but there is no real fire. So you don’t have to worry because the flame window is safe to the touch. It’s where the kids will play and the cat and dog will sleep.

■ MAKES HEAT BILLS CHEAP: The new Heat Surge Mini-Glo Heater makes heat bills so cheap you may never have to pay high heat bills again. That’s be-cause it only uses pennies an hour of electricity to blast out an instant heat wave in any room.

Saves Money: You’ll never pay high heat bills again

Welcome to the Club Newton’s Treye Jackson given HOF nod

AMES — Running back, track star, speed demon, friend, son, champion: Treye Jackson has gone by many names in his life, but on Dec. 7, he added a new one to the list — Hall of Famer. Jack-son, along with several other former track and fi eld stand-outs, accepted his induction into the Iowa Track Coaches Hall of Fame at a ceremonial banquet held at the Gateway Center in Ames.

Following his induction into the Hall of Fame, Jack-son was afforded an opportu-nity to look back on his glory days as an athlete, donning the Cardinal red at the high-est level of high school sports. His two seasons on the track as an upperclassman are what got him into the Hall, but how it all started was with a family tradition and a pair of old starting blocks.

“My parents kind of trained me since I was fi ve, and I just started getting into it,” Jackson said. “That’s how I got into it was my parents. I liked feeling the wind in my hair, just competing, try-ing to be the fastest. I just liked running, found out that I liked running, and it just went from there.”

Jackson’s father, Harvey Jr., was a terrifi c athlete and a runner in his own right, according to his family. His grandfather, Harvey Sr., played baseball. So, Treye had all the right genes to make it work in an athletic venue. He just needed the little extra push. As soon as his parents saw that Treye was taking an interest in what had become

a family tradition, they were happy to lend a hand.

“Treye’s grandfather was from Missouri, and this is kind of where he got off the train,” Treye’s mother Pat Jackson said. “He was a base-ball player, and Harvey was a runner. So when the boys were growing up, he still had the starting blocks from when he was a runner. When the boys were old enough to get in them, he started prac-ticing running with them. Treye was really interested in it.”

It wasn’t long after that

when Treye began to fl ash glimpses of the speed that would one day land him in a class with all the greatest track athletes in Iowa his-tory. He picked up organized sports as a kid, and although his mother was initially un-able to see him play football on Saturday’s due to working late shifts the night before, he quickly gave her a reason to set the alarm clock a cou-ple of hours earlier.

“When Treye was about nine or 10 and fl ag football was starting up, he came home from the game one

Saturday morning and said ‘Mom, you’re going to have to come see me because I’m real good and I can run real fast and the other guys can’t catch me.’ That’s what hap-pened,” Pat Jackson said. “They couldn’t catch him. I’ll never forget that morn-ing. After that, things more or less took off.”

So did Treye. He played nearly every sport growing up, but he shined at football and running track. Jackson was part of the 1980 Newton football team that won the state championship game, rushing for more than 1,000 yards and 16 touchdowns that season. Despite being ill for the championship game, Jackson rushed for 111 yards, and although he remembers it as one of his lesser games that season, his performance allowed Newton to control the clock and come away with a 28-14 win and a state title.

The former Newton Car-dinal’s accomplishments on the track are well known around Central Iowa. He set a state record with his run timed at 10.3 second in the 100 prelims the year be-fore, and in 1981, he became the fi rst sprinter to win the 100-meter, 200 and 400 state championships on the same day. Thirty-three years later, he remains the only Iowa athlete to have done that. Looking back on that day, Jackson expressed a combi-nation of surprise and ex-haustion at his momentous achievement.

“I didn’t think I’d ever get a Triple Crown. I didn’t even

Night at NHS games

NEWTON — What started out as just a grudge-match vol-leyball tournament turned into a charity event by Newton Senior High students and others.

A boys’ volleyball tournament with the grand champion advanc-ing to play the NHS varsity girls’ volleyball team — NHS Volleyball Showdown — took place Dec. 2. Admission was a new, unwrapped toy or a cash donation.

The competition was fi erce. Fun was had by the participants and fans. Area children are benefi ting from the generosity of those involved. They will have something special under their Christmas tree next week.

“We came up with the idea be-cause we wanted to do a boys ver-sus girls volleyball tournament. Then we decided to to make it into

a volunteer charity event,” said Jen Ventling, a senior member of the Cardinal volleyball team.

Ventling and senior volleyball player Holly VanderPol, members of the NHS Student Athletic Ad-visory Council, chaired the event.

“We wanted to show the boys it’s not all that easy to play vol-leyball. We wanted to put them through their paces a little bit,” VanderPoll said. “Using the event for charity, we thought it would be more benefi cial, not only to us but other people in the community.”

Ventling and VanderPol said the response was tremendous for the event. A large number of toys were donated along with a sub-stantial cash donation, VanderPol said. The group used the cash to purchase more toys.

Ventling said toys were distrib-uted to local banks with giving trees, P.J.’s Deli and to the Salvation Army.

NHS Volleyball Showdown brings Christmas gifts to area

KANSASCITY, Mo. (AP) — Omar Infante walked past the visiting club-house at Kauffman Stadium, where he dressed so many times as a member of the Detroit Tigers, and slipped on a crisp, new KansasCityRoyals jersey.

It was the latest sign of that the Roy-als intend to compete for the AL Cen-tral this season.

The Royals introduced their new second baseman Tuesday, one day after announcing they had agreed to a $30.25 million, four-year contract that includes a club option for 2018.

“I really got to see this team up close and I was very impressed by what they did last year,” Infante said, “and I think they’re close to taking the next step.”

Infante will make $5 million next season, $7.5 million in 2015, $7.75 mil-lion in 2016 and $8 million in 2017. His option is $10 million with a $2 mil-lion buyout, and if Infante wins Silver Slugger or is picked for the All-Star

game, his salary increases by $250,000 for each remaining season.

Infante, who turns 32 next week, fi lls perhaps the most glaring hole that re-mained in the Royals lineup. KansasCi-ty used six different options at second base last season, and none did enough to make the club feel comfortable about

them in what could be a pivotal season for the franchise.

The Royals are coming off an 86-76 sea-son, their best record since 1989, and were in contention until the fi nal week. But with star pitcher James Shields entering the fi nal year of his contract, the window to break through to the playoffs for the fi rst time since 1985 may be closing soon.

That’s why the Royals have been ag-gressive this offseason. They’ve already sign left-hander Jason Vargas to a $32 million, four-year deal to make up for the likely loss of right-hander Ervin Santana in free agency, and traded re-liever Will Smith to the Milwaukee Brewers for outfi elder Norichika Aoki.

Royals general manager Dayton Moore said following the season that three most pressing needs were to add a starting pitcher, upgrade in the outfi eld and solidify the second base position.

Infante appears to be the fi nal major item on the offseason shopping list.

KANSASCITY, Mo. (AP) — In the span of a year, the KansasCityChiefs went from being a franchise in disarray to one with the best record in the AFC and a shot at win-ning their division with two regular-season games left.

It’s hard to believe even for those in the midst of it.

“You can’t really explain it by words,” said linebacker Derrick Johnson. “It’s a feel-ing that not everybody has, and to go through what we went through last year and to be in this situation to do some big things — making the playoffs before the season is over, it’s great.”

The Chiefs punched their ticket to the postseason with a 56-31 victory at Oakland on Sunday, one that pushed their franchise-best turnaround to nine games. KansasCity (11-3) also moved into a tie with Den-ver atop the AFC West, though the Broncos hold the tiebreaker by virtue of a season sweep.

Still, if the Broncos stum-ble in one of their two re-maining games — at lowly

Houston and Oakland — and the Chiefs beat Indianapolis and San Diego, it would be KansasCity that’s home for the playoffs.

The way this season has gone, even the most remote possibility is still possible.

“This team is wired maybe a little different,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday. “I think they’re going to fi nish out strong no matter what the outcome is. I feel as a coach you tell them to go get them, they’ll go get them. I kind of feel they’re wired that way.”

That wasn’t the way they were wired before Reid’s arrival.

While the Chiefs have churned through their roster, about half of which is new this season, most of the key players remain from that 2-14 team. Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry and Dwayne Bowe were all part of the most forgettable sea-son in franchise history, one that resulted in the fi ring of coach Ro-meo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli and an overhaul of the entire front offi ce.

Shortly after Reid was hired,

John Dorsey was brought in as the GM, and team owner Clark Hunt vowed to take a more hands-on role with the organization. The results have been nothing short of spectacular: The Chiefs are head-ing to the playoffs for just the sec-ond time since 2006, Arrowhead Stadium is packed and there’s a buzz throughout the city.

“That just shows you how hard work pays off,” Charles said, “and every guy in that locker room has worked their tail off. ... That’s what I told those guys, ‘Hard work pays off.’”

The performance by the Chiefs on Sunday may have been the most impressive yet.

While the defense gave up big chunks of yardage, it also picked off fi ve passes and forced seven turnovers. Berry had two of those picks and returned one of them for a touchdown, the 11th time that KansasCity has gotten a TD from defense or special teams this sea-son.

Alex Smith was 17 of 20 for 287 yards and fi ve touchdowns without an interception, making him just the second Chiefs quar-

terback with a perfect quarterback rating. Trent Green did it on Sept. 29, 2002.

Then there is Charles, who made a mockery of the Raiders defense. He touched the ball 16 times but still piled up fi ve touch-downs. He had 195 yards receiv-ing, the fi fth-most by a running back in NFL history, and his TD total was tied for the fourth-most in league history.

The Chiefs put up all that of-fense despite missing starting left tackle Branden Albert, tight end Anthony Fasano and slot receiver Dexter McCluster due to injuries. All three of them, along with pass rusher Justin Houston, could be back for Sunday’s game against the Colts.

Reid said he wouldn’t hold any-body out who is ready to play, even though the Chiefs are already in the playoffs. After all, there’s still a division title to chase.

“If the guys can play, they’re going to play,” he said. “The rest of our season is as important to us as the beginning of our season. We’re not backing off on any-thing there.”

know they had a Triple Crown. Well, I guess they didn’t until I did it,” Jackson said with a laugh. “I felt pretty good in the 100, 200, but I got tired in the 400. You know, you’ve got to run three of each races in each day, so I ran like nine races in one day. I knew it was a possibility to win the 100 and 200, but the 400 kind of surprised me.”

To have such an accomplished season in terms of team and an in-dividual is a rarity. The physical stamina to be able to shoulder a heavy load for a state championship winning football team and then to come back and become the only one in state history to win a sprinter’s Triple Crown suggests Jackson must have been in peak physical condi-tion.

“I was doing really well that year; everything was coming together,” Jackson said. “I was in pretty good shape. I had a great football season. Going into the track season, the way I ended in football kind of gave me an edge going into the season. I trained very hard for all those years. I’m pretty grateful for it.”

According to his friends, Jackson’s mind was just as strong as his body

at the time, though. His lofty goals and determination made his accom-plishments seem more than realistic to those closest to him. Reaching those goals seemed, if nothing else, inevitable.

“I was actually surprised he didn’t do it his junior year, also,” childhood friend and former teammate Steve Morris said. “He couldn’t help but get noticed for how good he was. That’s what happens when you put in a lot of hard work and reach for some lofty goals.”

With all his accomplishments in both team and individual sports, it was no surprise that Treye was well received by the Newton community. But even now, at the age of 52 and 33 years removed from that histor-ic season in Newton athletics, the memory of Jackson running reso-nates in the minds and memories of those in and around the community.

Even in Des Moines, 40 miles west of where he made his legacy, Jackson finds himself recognized by those who watched in awe of his speed, and it is something for which, he is very grateful.

“It ’s great to have that,” Jackson said. “It makes me feel really good inside, because I never knew how many people that really did watch

me in my athletics. Most of the time, I just went out there and ran and didn’t pay attention to the peo-ple. When I was at the Hall of Fame banquet, I had several people come up to me that I never even knew of that watched me from eighth grade on, and I never even knew all these people watched me.”

His parents, still prominent members of the Newton community and mainstays after spending more than a half-century in the town, are asked frequently about where Treye is or what he is up to. Treye takes a sense of pride, and it also gives him delight to have his family members recognized in such a positive man-ner.

“People are still thankful for what I did for the community,” Treye said. “They talk to my mom, my dad and brothers and sisters. My mom still works at Walmart, and people will come up to her still and ask about me.”

Pat Jackson remembers how Treye helped mold those athletes who came after him. Treye raised the bar for Newton athletics, and his perfor-mances serve as another lofty goal, but this goal is one that Newton’s current and future generations will strive to achieve.

“I think a lot of people are very proud that he was from here,” she said. “Of course, there have been plenty of good Newton athletes, but not many have gone on to ac-complish what he did. Young peo-ple, back during the time when he was running, would send him notes about wanting to be like him. I think a lot of them looked up to him in that way and wanted to be where he was.”

Treye wanted to make a special thanks to the Newton Community for the support, and he gave spe-cific mention to thank Dave and Liz Dodd, who to a large degree chronicled Treye’s athletic career as a Cardinal. To him, they embody a community that he was proud to represent.

“That’s one of the things that still makes me proud is that I’ve done something for my community,” he said. “I put them on the map, and all the things they did for me when I was growing up whether it was education, working out, jobs. Those people, and there’s so many that supported me. I am so grateful for them.”

Astrograph

The Cancer moon invites us to get cozy and enjoy the tailpiece of the Sagit-tarius solar journey from the comfort of home. Tomorrow’s Leo moon brings a different opin-ion on the matter, but for today it’s the domestic environment that holds just the right atmosphere to assess our current posi-tion and get ready for the next phase.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 19). You’ll feel so marvelous when working that being paid seems a mere bonus compared to other benefits. Physical improvements boost your image in January. Loved ones will support your efforts and get out of your way when you don’t need them. You’ll travel to fix something in March. April brings a windfall. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 30, 4, 22 and 14.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are pas-sionate about the things that are closest to your heart. The only person who can lead you is one

who knows how to con-nect that passion to the work before you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You think of the same person when you first wake up and when you fall asleep tonight.This is more than a habit of mind. It’s where your heart is, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Draw a hard line between business and personal relationships. You may be in business with a loved one, and in that case, you have two separate relationships, and the line between them should be distinct.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may delegate certain responsibilities, but make sure you know exactly how all of the functions are performed first. Also, you should be the one to maintain key business relationships.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you’d rather not console people today or be the designated pep talker, but if it goes that way, don’t fight it. How-

ever ill-equipped you may feel to do these things, you’re actually the one best suited to the job.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Inquiring about feelings is dicey — you may be pushing further than the other person wants to go. People put their emotions into words when they are ready. In the meantime, physical signals will inform you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Marketers know that people don’t really buy products; they buy results and the feelings that go along with those outcomes. You can save yourself a few bucks today by deciding to feel a certain way without paying for it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll enjoy the company of like minds. They may not share your value system exactly, but they’re close enough that you can see the same things as funny, awesome, pathetic and sad.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may be tempted to

“give away the farm,” be-cause, let’s face it, farms are a lot of work. Resist the urge. You should have controlling interest in what you started and cultivated.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know a waste of time when you see one — or do you? Sometimes time-wasters go disguised as interesting discussions that, once joined, lead absolutely nowhere.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just as companies run promotional offers to stir up interest, you’ll ratchet up your appeal by figuring out the best and most desirable things you have to offer and letting people know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Betrayal is the break-ing of a contract of sorts. There’s gray area in this regard, because many contracts that are unspo-ken or assumed are not mutual. Avoid betrayal by being clear about the rules.
