Posh Salon & Spa open house set for Friday

By Zach JohnsonDaily News Staff Writer

The Christmas sea-son is known as a time of joy and gift giving, but the frantic running around and balancing out multiple events can

cause stress. Posh Salon & Spa offers services in hopes to bring relief during the Christmas season.

Barb Ferguson, the owner and operator of Posh Spa & Salon, has been in business for 22 years. Posh will be hav-ing an open house on Friday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. They will be serv-ing cookies and bever-ages as well as having

drawings for gift certifi-cates and spa services.

“It’s going to be nice to have the new massage room to be able to do couple massages again, as it was popular when we offered the service before,” Ferguson said. “It will make the flow of each appointment go smoother.”

Looking Back in Newton’s History

Compiled by the Newton Historic Preservation Commission

25 Years Ago This Week — Dec. 9-15, 1988

Demolition was under way on the 24 houses and apartment build-ings located in the “super block” on the west side of the Skiff Medical Center. The buildings had been purchased by the City of Newton as part of its urban renewal initia-tive.

An earthquake measuring 6.9

on the Richter Scale devastated the southern republic of Armenia in the Soviet Union. The earthquake killed tens of thousands of people, leveled buildings, and destroyed bridges and roads. The epicen-ter of the quake was near the city of Leninakan where a school was destroyed killing all but a few of the students inside. Spitak, a town about the size of Newton, 45 miles away from Leninakan, was practi-cally erased from the face of the earth, according to local reports.

New courthouse Christmas lights were turned on for the sec-ond year. They were tiny, red and white lights in plastic strips, main-

tenance-free and barely visible. The new lighting display had been funded by the Chamber of Com-merce at a cost of $35,000. The old, traditional lighting display had been taken down ostensibly be-cause of damage to the new rubber roof membrane and to limestone building corners from the evergreen swag anchors. A Newton Daily News editorial suggested that the new lights, lacking “wow,” be taken down, sold to some unsuspecting Santa Claus, and the traditional Christmas lighting display put back up. This would happen three years later after a citizen-funded analysis and fundraising project.

Lucas gives lecture at University of ArubaSpecial to the Daily News

Newton resident Con-nie Lucas, program spe-cialist and special proj-ects coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Iowa Chapter, recently returned from Oranjestad, Aruba, where she presented a lecture at the University of Aruba on “Person Centered De-

mentia Care.”Lucas was invited to

present the lecture by Dr. Melva Croes-Yanez, president of Fundacion Alzheimer Aruba, who shared about how they support people with de-mentia on their island.

“When someone gets a diagnosis of dementia, the family hosts a coffee time in their neighbor-

hood and explains what is happening, and then the neighbors have the op-portunity to put together a plan of how they all might help,” Lucas stated. “This approach seems to have helped not only the caregiver, but the person diagnosed as well. This seems like a model we might do well to adopt in the United States.”

Also attending the lec-ture was Dr. S. Waterloo, a new geriatrician for the island who is working in

conjunction with oth-ers to develop a memory clinic for the island and use best practices for the people of Aruba with de-mentia.

“It was exciting to see the quest for more knowl-edge as well as the island’s commitment to enhanc-ing their existing ser-vices,” Lucas said. “The people of Aruba are such bright and caring people that I have no doubt that they will be successful in their endeavors.”

Advent events at First Presbyterian Church

The First Presbyterian Church will con-tinue its celebration of Advent on Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent, with the All Church Christmas Pageant.

On Sunday, Dec. 22, the Fourth Sunday of Advent, the message will be “A Sign of the Lord.” Worship begins at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday.

On Christmas Eve, worship will begin at 7:30 p.m. A service of lessons and carols will feature readings by various members of the congregation; carols sung by the congrega-tion, the adult choir, and a smaller group; and lighting individual candles as the congrega-tion give thanks for the birth of Jesus.

Throughout Advent, church members will purchase gifts for the Salvation Army Christmas Angel tree or for Progress Indus-tries clients and to contribute to the Christ-mas Joy Offering sponsored by the Presbyte-rian Church USA.

Kids Action Hour participants also have assembled, decorated and sent shoeboxes filled with items that will be sent overseas to children in need through Operation Christ-mas Child.

Winter hours announced at Neal Smith NWR

Beginning Sunday, Jan. 5, and continuing through the end of March, the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge Prairie Learning and Visitor Center will be closed on Sundays.

Hours will remain the same throughout the rest of the week: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Visitation is generally low during the win-ter season, and management has determined that the best use of federally appropriated funds is to focus on keeping the visitor cen-ter open seven days a week during the rest of the year when visitation is higher. For more information about visitor center hours or vis-iting the refuge, contact Megan Wandag at (515) 994-3400 or megan [email protected].

Attorneys general warn FDA of new painkiller risksDES MOINES (AP)

— Iowa Attorney Gener-al Tom Miller is one of 28 state chief legal officers to warn the Food and Drug Administration that a new, powerful painkiller approved in October is going to result in more prescription drug abuse.

The new medication called Zohydro is a nar-

cotic painkiller that will come in doses five to 10 times more powerful than traditional hydro-codone products such as Vicodin.

Miller and the other attorneys general say it doesn’t make sense that the FDA would approve such a potent narcotic without requiring it to

be made in a form that discourages abuse.

They say it could be formulated in a gel-like consistency that would discourage abusers from chewing the pills or crushing them for snort-ing or injecting.

The medication is expected to be available next year.

ISU survey shows 5.1 pct hike in farmland values DES MOINES (AP) — The 2013

Iowa Land Value Survey says farm-land values rose 5.1 percent from last year, setting another record.

The new survey shows farmland values rose to more than $8,700 an acre. It was the fourth year in a row that farmland values rose in the Iowa State University survey of nearly 500 real estate experts. Last year’s figure

was nearly $8,300 an acre.Despite the new high, some of the

experts say values may be eroding.Land demand could slow because

Iowa farmers are concerned about lower commodity prices and a pro-posed rollback in the mandate for corn-based ethanol. There’s also un-certainty over interest rates and over the prospects for a new farm bill. Seven flee after Des Moines house fire erupts

DES MOINES (AP) — Authorities say three children and four adults have fled safely from a fire that began in the basement of a Des Moines house.

The fire began late

Wednesday night. No injuries to the seven peo-ple have been reported, but a family dog died.

Fire officials say an occupant reported that she went down to the basement after hearing

a scream. She rushed everyone out to safety when she saw the fire.

She told investiga-tors that she suspect-ed the children started the blaze while play-ing with matches.

Those boys, whose record you broke, worked very hard so set it! That was a very talented group as you can tell by how long it took to break it.

That’s the great thing about com-petitive swimming, it takes talent and a lot of hard work to set records. With emphasis on hard work. Talent alone can’t do it.

Congrats swim team of 2013. You’re welcome to break any of those records you can!

Don’t Forget Facebook

Last week, I had a chance to visit my old swimming coach at the YMCA during practice.

I walked through the hall-way to get to the pool. The deep smell of the chlo-rine took me back to when walk-ing through that hallway was like a religion.

I was think-ing about how many things in life are defined by the journey of get-ting there. I remember at the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Christmas Party walking up to a man that was my mentor in high school, John Jenkins, just to tell him I made it to a dream.

It’s shown true when I am walking with a group like I did for Summer Games University with more than 400 kids expecting to have a life-changing experience. It happens when walking outside like I did on a family vacation hiking to see some of the most beauti-

ful scenery including a lookout point that you were standing on top of a 500 foot cliff.

I could go on talking about more walks that have launched me, but I am reminded of a quote from Ric Flair during his WWE Hall of Fame in-duction speech.

“For everything I have done wrong it’s moments like these that remind that I did something right.”

In retrospect, I had walks that I knew at the end of path or aisle stood my worst fear and moments that still break me as an individual.

A hallway at the University Hos-pital in Iowa City, where I saw my mother and her long-time boyfriend take their last breath of life.

The hallway at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines wondering if my father was going to live or die after being electrocuted in 1994.

I was thinking about all the walks I have ever took. Most have called me crazy for taking them, but all of them have built the core of the man I am today.

I’m a business writer for the Daily News. It’s going to become one of the

toughest beats as city government and business will be going through major revolutionary changes in the coming year.

Being a business writer, you have to remain on top of marketing, branding, and launches of multiple companies and organizations. I was thinking back to 1997, which was the launch of one of the most revolutionary rebranding, marketing, and advertising campaign of all time. It was with Apple and the concept was “Think Differently: The Crazy Ones.”

The face behind the relaunch was the late Steve Jobs. In a segment of the launch he talked about how sim-ple concepts became in his mind some of the greatest marketing strategies of his time.

Milk in the beginning would tell customers how good it was for you, which resulted in a decline of sales, but with the launch of the “Got Milk” campaign sales rebounded. Jobs also talked about Nike.

A company since they started mar-keting and advertising kept with the same core of honoring legendary ath-letes and legendary athletic achieve-

ment.In the late ’90s, Apple was at the

top of its business producing a box, so that people could do extraordinary things at what they were passionate about. Jobs reminded the audience in the crowd that wasn’t the core of thinking for Apple.

It was that Apple wanted to pro-duce a product so that crazy passion-ate people could change the world. In the eyes of Jobs and those at Apple that those who were crazy enough to think that they can change the world were the ones who actually did.

In this journey of my life, I real-ized that I have started a brand of myself simply stated as “The Home-town Kid.” It’s a sports-minded brand as this town is my home field and no one beats me at home. It’s a brand that honors those who have helped create, market, and launch it.

I’m not better than anyone that sur-rounds me in the room I walk in ev-eryday, because in the end it’s about walking into any room looking each individual in the eyes one on one just to see how bad they want what you want.

There’s just something about a walkThe Hometown Kid

By Zach JohnsonStaff Writer

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you...

— AbeSimpson

from “The Simpsons”

I took my first paid day off in nearly a decade (that wasn’t in-volving me visit-ing a hospital or doctor’s office with my wife and chil-dren) yesterday. So, I spent the day shopping with my family.

I preface that by saying I used to pride myself on being “with it.” I knew what was new, what was cool, and what all the kids were into.

Somehow, in the last couple years, I’ve lost touch.

The most glaring example was when I observed a young man walking into a store to apply for a job. He came in dressed for the job he was applying for — a great approach that helps a potential employer envision what you working for him or her might actu-ally look like — but when he turned around, I noticed his designer jeans had frilly embroidery on the back pockets.

When I was his age, had I worn something like that, I would’ve been ridiculed for wearing “girly jeans.”

Ah, the 1980s.Michael J. Fox was the epitome of

coolness for teenage kids back then.

stonewashed jeans (cuffed), jean jack-ets and the feathered hairdo was “the look” every girl wanted in their guy. And, we aimed to please.

He also happened to be Alex P. Ke-aton, so adoring Ronald Reagan and being a Young Republican were cool, too.

My how times have changed.Later in the evening, we stopped at

one of our favorite dining locations. We were only just beginning to tuck in when three college students were seated at the booth next to our table.

Although the rest of the eatery was relatively quiet, these boisterous youngsters were shouting back and forth to one another, laughing and carrying on like they were at a noisy nightclub. It was rude and distracting, and the conversation topics were not appropriate for younger audiences at times.

I don’t suspect most young people are like that — I certainly don’t ob-serve that type of behavior in Newton on a regular basis. But it did make me realize one obvious truth:

I’ve become the cranky old guy.

Shake & Bake TurduckenOne of the early stops in my jour-

nalism career was to work as the special projects writer for Iowa Information Inc., publisher of the N’West Iowa REVIEW, the 17-time Iowa News-paper of the Year (the Des Moines Register has won the award only eight times). Sheldon is a mere 45 minutes from Sioux Falls, S.D., and nearly four hours from Boone, my home town.

So, needless to say, trips home to

see family were few and far between back then.

My first Christmas in Sheldon, I decided I was going to impress ev-eryone with my culinary skills. That year, I had written a feature story about “turducken,” the holiday entree made famous by former NFL football coach-turned color analyst (and vid-eogame namesake) John Madden.

For those of you, who don’t know what a turducken is, it’s a dish con-sisting of a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, which is in turn stuffed into a deboned turkey.

In other words, it’s a cooking night-mare, especially for someone with an apartment kitchen slightly larger than a phone booth.

I got the whole thing put togeth-er, and actually had something that somewhat — vaguely — resembled poultry. I cooked it most of the way to completion, then wrapped it heav-ily in aluminum foil and packed it in a cooler in the hopes it would continue to cook without becoming too dry on the roadtrip.

As if that would be my biggest problem.

No, the biggest problem wasn’t the cooking of the engstrinated birds. Ac-tually, that was the least of my worries in the end.

Idiotic drivers were my problem.My mentor at the time, Jay Wag-

ner, told me when he was editor of his father’s newspaper — the aforemen-tioned REVIEW — he always sug-gested his reporters take a different route to their destinations each time, so they might stumble upon some-

thing newsworthy. There are four ways to get from Sheldon to Boone, none of which offer any semblence of a straight pathway, so I picked one that appeared to best suit the bird cooking — I hoped — in the cooler in the trunk of my car.

The midway point of this jaunt was right around Algona. For the turduck-en, however, that was the end of the road.

I had just pulled out from a four-way stop and was proceeding on my way through town when a male don-key pulled out of a Kmart parking lot, right into my path.

I slammed on the brakes and spared both of us from a nasty fender-bender. No damage, other than a few frayed nerves, so I recollected myself and re-sumed by roadtrip.

But, when I arrived at my destina-tion and opened the trunk of my car, I discovered there had been a casualty from the near-miss. Somehow, the cooler and opened and the contents spilled — exploded would be a more realistic explanation — all over the inside of my trunk, which reeked of half-cooked fowl for weeks afterward.

“Shake & Bake” might be fine for home-baked chicken, but it doesn’t work with turducken. Not even a little bit.

I didn’t even get the little annoying kid yelling, “And I helped!”

Fruit Lowers Aneurysm Risk

An 80,000-person, 13-year study found that people who ate two servings or more of fruit daily had a 25% lower risk of devel-oping an abdominal aortic aneurysm. This conditionis a bulge, like a ballooning weak spot, in the body’s largest artery. If it ruptures, it is often fatal. Those who had the condition but also ate two servings of fruit daily had a 43% lower risk of the aneurysm rupturing.Researchers speculated that the antioxidants in the fruit reduced inflammation. Interestingly, while dietary vegetables are important to health, fruit has different antioxidants, which had a much more profound con-nection to this condition.

Posh is ready to help out with the hustle and stress of the season by offering a few Christ-mas specials. When you purchase an one-hour massage, you can get a free facial or get half off your next massage.

Ferguson will be go-ing into her second year of offering a massage and facial membership. Each month, members have the option of ei-ther doing a massage or facial. During the year, members will have re-ceive a special discount of the facial and mas-

sage services on top of the monthly service that they commit to.

“It’s deducted from your bank account on a day of your choosing,” Ferguson said. “If you miss an appointment, it is banked, so you can reschedule or get double services the following month, or you have 60 days after the member-ship ends to complete all missing appointments.”

Posh offers three spa day packages as well as a “create your own spa day.” Posh also will be offering a 10 per-cent discount on all spa packages for the Christ-mas season. The day spa packages include either

a lunch or snack during your day.

“The spa lunch menu changes frequently, but we like to do a chick-en salad with dessert and beverage,” Fergu-son said “The smaller spa packages include a snack, which changes frequently rotating from croissant, muffin, assort-ed fruit and cheeses.”

To book your next spa service or spa day, call (641) 791-7347. To find out more informa-tion on the spa, visit it on Facebook at https://www. facebook . com/mysalononline. Posh also has an e-mail list to keep up on the deals and specials.

pledges being helpful,” Development Planner for City of Newton Erin Chambers said. “The more pledges we have the more we can do.”

The launch team will be taking the application to Des Moines later today. The next task at hand will be preparing a presentation to “plead the case” for Newton to become an official Main Street Community, which will happen Jan. 15.

“A team of us from Newton will go to a special meeting hosted by the Iowa Economic Development Authority and Main Street Board of Directors for the state to give a pre-sentation to why Newton is ready to

become a Main Street Community,” Executive Director of Greater New-ton Area Chamber of Commerce Darrell Sarmento said. “After that we will have to wait until late Jan. to early Feb. with their decision.”

In the end the journey the com-munity has made to get to this point is the true meaning behind what does it mean to be selected as a Main Street Community.

“It ’s like being admitted into a top notch university, its a lot of work to get selected and admitted into the program, but when getting selected the real work begins,” Sarmento said.

Records show more seclusion at Iowa Juvenile Home

DES MOINES (AP) — State records show the Iowa Juvenile Home continued to keep children in isola-tion cells for extended periods even after ad-vocacy groups and several investigations raised concerns about the practice.

Youths at the Toledo facility spent a total of 365 hours in seclu-sion in October, The Des Moines Register reported. That’s more than four times the 80 hours logged in Sep-tember.

Disability Rights Iowa, which first in-vestigated the home’s practices a year ago, said it visited the 27-acre facility in October and found one youth who had been in se-clusion for 111 hours. Jane Hudson, executive director of Disability Rights Iowa, said that’s in violation of both Iowa law and the facil-ity’s policies.

“Iowa Juvenile Home’s continuing ex-cessive use of seclusion is just another example of the difficulty the fa-cility is having in mov-ing from a correctional culture to one centered around therapeutic treatment,” she said.

Amy Lorentzen McCoy, spokeswoman for the Iowa Depart-ment of Human Ser-vices, declined to com-ment Wednesday. She noted in an email that seclusion is used only as an emergency mea-

sure for severely ag-gressive and destructive behavior. She said there are legitimate situa-tions when seclusion is extended for a youth’s personal safety.

State officials said in early October that they expected an in-crease in isolation use because staff was trying to decrease physically restraining the youths. The data shows there were 41 incidents in October of physical re-strain, compared with 82 incidents in Sep-tember.

Gov. Terry Branstad announced Monday that state officials will close the facility by Jan. 16, relocate the chil-dren and lay off the staff of 93 employees. Branstad has become more vocal about the

home over the year, and said children in the fa-cility had been “abused” by state workers.

Some legislators, including Sen. Steve Sodders, D-State Cen-ter, said the decision to close the home should have been up for pub-lic debate. Dave Svo-boda, mayor of Toledo, also disputed reports of long-term seclusion at the facility.

“One girl, they said, was locked in there for a year,” he told the Reg-ister. “Why, that can’t be true, and anybody should know that.”

Hudson of Disabil-ity Rights Iowa said the account of the secluded girl last year has been verified.

“We conducted an 11-month investiga-tion, and we encoun-tered girls in isolation cells that were not there voluntarily, and we were extremely con-cerned about this,” she said.

It’s unclear what will happen to the home, which underwent an $8 million renova-tion three years ago. But state education officials have ordered “compensatory educa-tion” for youths who have been recently dis-charged from the home and haven’t earned the equivalent of a high school diploma.

“We encoun-tered girls in isolation cells that were not there volun-tarily, and we were ex-tremely con-cerned about this.”

About 750 Iowans enrolled in marketplace plansDES MOINES (AP)

— Just more than 750 Iowa residents have en-rolled in health insurance plans using the federal marketplace website, out of more than 25,000 who sought coverage on the troubled online exchange, according to data the fed-eral government released Wednesday.

The numbers from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services cover Oct. 1 through Nov. 30 and show that enrollment has been edging up in Iowa. During October — the first month the federal exchange website was available — only 136 Iowans successfully en-rolled in private health insurance plans using the website.

Still, the updated en-rollment number rep-resents a fraction of the people who have applied for coverage on the web-site. In October and No-vember, 12,755 applica-tions were completed on the website, for insurance to cover 25,007 people. Out of those applicants, 757 were able to com-plete the process and sign up for private insurance.

From those applica-tions, 4,946 individuals have been deemed eli-gible for financial assis-tance to pay for insurance and 7,382 will be eligible for low-income health programs like Medicaid.

Iowa is among 36 states using the federal enrollment website, www.healthcare.gov . Accord-ing to the new data, in

those states 364,682 people have signed up for private coverage as of Nov. 30. In the states that chose to run their own websites, 227,478 people successfully signed up for insurance.

President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is designed to reduce the number of people without health insurance, both through an expansion of Medic-aid and with new health care marketplaces where people can shop for pri-vate coverage and apply for government aid to pay premiums.

Problems have plagued the healthcare.gov website since the Oct. 1 launch, but fed-eral authorities have been working to fix glitches.

DEAR ABBY: As the education di-rector of the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, I work hard to encourage safe and courte-ous cycling for everyday transportation in Northern California. There are a number of points I would like to address to “Car-ing Reader, Sacramento, Calif.” (Sept. 13).

“Caring” described seeing bicyclists run stop signs, not wear protective gear, texting/talking on cellphones, and sug-gested a greater enforcement of the law. Rolling through stop signs is, indeed, just as illegal as it is while driving a vehicle, ex-cept in Idaho where cyclists may treat stop signs as yields. I encourage all cyclists and drivers to come to a complete stop at signs and signals, even when turning right, and especially when pedestrians are present.

Talking or texting on a cellphone while biking isn’t currently illegal in the state of California. I feel that using cellphones while biking is an unsafe practice, and I encourage cyclists (or drivers) to simply pull over before making or taking a call.

Helmets are required gear only for bi-cyclists under the age of 18 in California. As an adult, I choose to wear one when I’m biking. However, it is not illegal for an adult to bike without a helmet.

You said in your response that people who cycle at night should avoid wearing dark clothes to increase their visibility, but clothes color alone has been shown to have little or no effect on visibility in dark conditions. During low-light times of day like dawn or dusk, wearing bright or fluo-rescent clothes is a good strategy, but at night bicyclists should rely on lights and reflectors to be seen.

The law in California stipulates that bicyclists must have a white headlight, a red rear reflector and yellow or white re-flectors on their wheels or spokes as well as on their pedals, shoes or ankles. How-ever, I also recommend adding to these required items: a red rear light, and ad-ditional lights and reflectors at the front, rear and sides of the bike, or on one’s clothing or helmet. Highlighting one’s silhouette with lights and reflectors, and

applying them to moving parts of one’s bike or body, will increase visibility sub-stantially after dark.

Abby, thanks for your attention to these issues. — ROBERT PRINZ, OAKLAND, CALIF.

DEAR MR. PRINZ: You’re wel-come. And thank you for kindly sharing your expertise with my readers.

DEAR ABBY: Last year, my 40-year-old stepson, “Rod,” gave his father a beau-tiful robe for Christmas. The problem is, we had given the robe to Rod for Christ-mas several years ago. I didn’t say anything at the time, but, of course, I recognized it because I was the one who had bought it for him.

Should I have said anything? Or was I right to have played dumb (which is what I did)?

Rod has “saved” other presents we have given him and regifted them to us years later. This man has a high-paying job and isn’t hurting for money. I think what he’s doing is insulting. I have sug-gested not exchanging gifts, but he ig-nores me. What can I do about this in the future? — “RECYCLEE” IN THE SOUTH

DEAR “RECYCLEE”: Rod may have forgotten that he got the robe from you. As I see it, you have two choices. You can be offended, or you can turn it into a joke. For this Christmas, give him the robe back.

Common sense and courtesy keep bicyclists safe on the road

Keep your holiday food safe

One of the many highlights of the holiday season is enjoying food with family and friends. Everyone wants to be helpful, but too many “cooks in the kitchen” can potentially increase risk of food borne illness. This is particularly true when people who rarely prepare food at other times of the year are now in front of the stove. By taking simple precautions, you can reduce this risk of food borne illness. Check out these tips and share with all those helpers in your kitchen this holiday season.

Wash Those Hands • Be sure everyone handling food washes their hands before, during and after working with food. • Keep kitchen surfaces — such as applianc-es, countertops, cutting boards and utensils — clean with hot, soapy water throughout food preparation. • Use two cutting boards: one for raw meat, poultry and fi sh and the other for ready-to-eat foods like fruits and vegetables. • Use separate spoons and forks to stir, taste and serve food.

Be Careful When Thawing Foods • To prevent the spread of harmful bacteria, thaw frozen turkey and other meats in a refrigerator set below 40 degrees or in the microwave. Never thaw meats on the kitchen counter, in the oven or under hot water in the sink. • If defrosting food in the refrigera-tor, cover raw meat and place it on the bot-tom shelf so juices don’t drip onto other foods. • If foods have been thawed in the microwave, be sure to cook them immediately afterward. If you are pressed for time, thaw a wrapped frozen turkey (breast-side down) in a sink fi lled with cold tap water. Be sure to change the water every 30 minutes.

Know When Your Turkey Is Done • Use a meat thermometer to make sure meats reach a safe internal temperature. This is the only re-liable way to determine the doneness of your food. • Cook whole turkeys to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the temperature with a meat thermometer at the innermost part of the thigh. If you’re cooking a stuffed turkey, be sure stuffi ng reaches 165 degrees before serving.

• Cook holiday hams and pork roasts to 145°F.

Boil Your Gravy • To kill harmful bacteria, bring gra-vy to a steady boil on the stove before serving. • This rule also applies to leftover gravy. Simply microwaving leftover gravy until it is hot is not suffi -cient to kill harmful bacteria.

Follow the Two-Hour Rule • Holiday feasts can sometimes last for hours. Refrigerate or freeze leftovers within two hours of cooking the foods. After more than two hours, bacte-ria rapidly begin to multiply on perishable food items. Consider keeping some fresh food in the refrigerator to bring out at the two-hour mark.

Chill Dishes Right Away • It’s a common mistake to let cooked foods cool before they go into the refrigerator. To chill a dish for serving or storage, promptly place it in the refrig-erator after cooking. This ensures freshness and safety. • Check that your refrigerator temperature is below 40 degrees and your freezer below 0 degrees. • Store leftovers in airtight, shal-low containers (two inches deep or less).• Remove turkey from the bone and store it separately from the stuffi ng and gravy.

Use It or Lose It • Reheat leftovers to 165 degrees Fahr-enheit. Bring leftover gravy to a steady boil on the stove before serving it a second time. • Eat leftover casseroles, cooked vegetables and refrigerated cooked turkey within three to four days. Use stuffi ng and gravy within one to two days. • Finish fruit, cream pies and cheese cake within two to three days. • Regardless of how many days have passed: If in doubt, throw it out!

No Sampling of the Cookie Dough • When baking cookies, cakes or brownies that include eggs as an ingredient, resist the temptation to taste raw dough or batter. Raw eggs may contain harm-ful bacteria that can lead to food poisoning. Cook treats before giving in to your sweet tooth.

Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!

Older Adult Wellness: Happy through the Holidays

With the holiday season here, it is easy to get caught up in the spirited festivities. Bouncing from event to event. Buying and wrap-ping gifts. Cooking and enjoying meals. All of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season can be fun, but once the party has ended and the family has left, sometimes real-ity can be challenging.

Though the holiday season is supposed to be full of cheer, the reality is that as we age and fam-ily moves away or even passes on, this time of year can be emotion-ally diffi cult.

As feelings of loneliness and sadness may creep in, it is impor-tant to acknowledge those feelings. Recognizing those feelings can help move us forward to a happier, refreshed holiday.

A large component of health is emotional well-being. A happy heart is a healthy heart. As the year draws to a close with a busy holi-day season, try these simple tools to keep a positive attitude.

Acknowledge Your FeelingsThe fi rst step toward a healthy

mindset is to acknowledge your current feelings. It is normal to feel lonely without your spouse or fam-ily during the holidays. Your emo-tions are your emotions and you do not have to excuse them.

Start a New TraditionIf you are missing the times that

the kids put on their matching pa-jamas and gathered to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life,” try a new holiday routine. Perhaps you could enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend or create a new holiday dessert.

Reach OutIf you feel isolated or down in

spirit, contact a loved one or friend. Even if it is simply a phone call, it is better to initiate contact rather than simply wishing someone would invite you over to a celebra-tion.

VolunteerOne of the best ways to lift your

mood is by giving back. Nothing

sparks a better attitude than help-ing others. By volunteering time and efforts we remember that the season is truly bigger than our-selves.

Remember FondlyAs you think back on the times

that were, cherish the memories and traditions. Instead of longing for celebrations to be exactly like they always were, be thankful that you had the chance to create those memories.

This holiday season take time to refl ect on the year in a positive light. How you celebrate this holi-day season is up to you. As our lives changes and the years continue, the holiday seasons can be either dis-heartening or uplifting depending on your frame of mind. Choose to be happy through the holidays!

Note: While some holiday blues is common, it is important to be aware of signs and symptom of depression. If you feel the holiday blues is hanging on too long, con-tact your doctor.

NEWTON — Ask Dale Raridon about football and his son and grand-sons. Watch him pop a button on his shirt with pride. And well, he should.

Dale, who lives in Newton, has pride in the fact his son Scott Raridon and Scott’s three sons have all been high school Class 4A all-state tackles in Iowa.

With the selection of sophomore John Raridon to the 2013 Des Moines Register’s Elite All-State Football Team in November, the Raridons quite possibly made Iowa state history.

“Scott said he did a little research and could not fi nd another family that a father and three sons all were all-state selections,” Dale said. The Scott Raridon family lives in West Des Moines.

But the Raridon sons don’t just get the all-state status from their father. Mom, Traci, was an all-state softball and track star at Southeast Polk High School in 1986. Scott Raridon Sr. earned fi rst-team all-state honors as an offensive tackle in 1981 at Mason City.

Scott Jr. earned all-state honors at offensive tackle in 2001 at Mason City. Sam Raridon was a fi rst-team se-

lection at defensive tackle in 2012 and John Raridon earned his honors this year. Both Sam and John played for West Des Moines Valley High School.

Scott Jr. was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Iowa for 2001 and was a three-year letterman at Notre Dame starting in 2002. Scott Jr. was selected to play in the U.S. Army All-America Bowl game his senior year. Sam, who was fi rst-team Class 4A All-State as a junior and senior, signed to play for Wisconsin.

Traci Raridon threw the shot put for the Wisconsin women’s track and fi eld team. Scott Sr., played at Mason City High under Barry Alvarez, the current UW athletic director and the school’s former football coach.

Scott Sr. was an offensive lineman at Nebraska after winning a state ti-tle under Alvarez in 1978. He later played for the Philadelphia Eagles and also spent time as a strength and con-ditioning coach at Notre Dame, where his son, Scott Jr., played.

Dale’s son-in-law, Aaron Beard of Newton, was a fi rst-team All-State se-lection as defensive back in 1983.

“We were all together for Thanks-giving. It’s quite an accomplishment for these young men,” Dale said with a smile. Dale’s late wife, Connie, passed away last year.

Central’s Samson to play in all-star

football games

PELLA — Central College defensive end Danny Samson is extending his career for two more weeks as he’s been s e l e c t e d to appear in a pair of Divi-sion III all-star games. Samson is a senior from B a x t e r , who was a standout at Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

The Iowa Conference defen-sive player of the year was tabbed to play in the D-III Senior Classic Friday at 7 p.m. (East-ern Time) in Salem, Va., site of next week’s NCAA Division III championship game, the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl.

Samson will then journey from Virginia to Monterrey, Mexico to begin workouts for the fi fth annual Tazon de Estrel-las (Bowl of the Stars), which will be staged Dec. 21.

Samson and Dutch team-mates Jason Breon (senior, Anamosa), a defensive back, linebacker Mike Young (senior, Country Club Hills, Ill., Hill-crest HS) and offensive lineman Travis Hook (senior, Grundy Center) will play there for Team Stars and Stripes, a Division III all-star team coached by Dutch defensive coordinator Don De Waard. They’ll take on a team of all-stars from a national confer-ence of Mexican private colleges.

“It’s an honor to be invited to two all-star games,” Samson said. “It’s great to be recognized, both individually and as a mem-ber of the Central College foot-ball team. It will be challeng-ing to play in Virginia and then travel to Mexico and play again, but it will be nice to be with my teammates, coaches and support staff at the second game.”

The D-III Senior Classic was fi rst held in 2009. The game features 53 of Division III’s top players. More than 80 percent of the players on the all-star rosters each year are all-America hon-orees. Samson will play for the South squad—which includes players from Division III’s South and West regions.

“It’s a neat honor,” said coach Jeff McMartin. “It’s really excit-ing that Danny was chosen. He was a dominant player in the conference on defense and we’re thrilled that he’s representing Central College and the Iowa Conference in this game.”

PCM’s Lorensen looks back on 500 wins

MONORE — The buzz-er sounded, the players shook hands, the coaches led their teams back to the locker room and the scoreboard showed Prai-rie City-Monroe’s boys winning by 30 over Gilbert.

On most nights, this would be just another win for the Mus-tangs, who have become a bas-ketball mainstay in central Iowa for the past 20 years or so, but on Dec. 3, the victory over the Tigers symbolized much more.

For coach Fred Lorensen, his 500th win was a symbol. It sym-bolized longevity, perseverance and consistency. Most people

around the Prairie City and Monroe communities have made a bigger deal of the win than Lo-rensen had maybe anticipated, but the win has provided some time for him to look back and contemplate the journey, some-thing he’s not accustomed to.

“You never even think about this type of thing,” Lorensen said. “You just have kids gradu-ate and have new kids come in, and you try to fi gure out what’s best for them to do to try to be successful. It’s just mind-bog-gling how fast the years have gone by and how fast the seasons have gone by.”

COACH See Page 2B

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa coach Fran McCaffery’s solution to having 10 guys who can play has been to play them all.

It has made the 23rd-ranked Hawkeyes one of the deepest and most dangerous teams in the country.

Iowa’s rotation is the envy of op-ponents everywhere. The Hawkeyes have 10 players averaging at least 15 minutes per game, and they’re getting nearly half of their Big Ten-leading 89.5 points a game from their backups.

Iowa’s experienced and athletic pool of reserves has allowed the Hawkeyes to push the tempo whenever they want.

They rank fourth nationally with a scoring margin of plus-24.6 a game heading into Friday night’s game at No. 17 Iowa State (7-0).

“The thing that they’re great at is transition offense. They really get out and run,” Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. “They’re great on the glass as well. Those are going to be two huge keys for us, is getting back in transition and trying to slow them down and limit them to one shot, which is easier said than done.”

Iowa’s exceptional bench numbers have been boosted by its six wins of at least 30 points, which has allowed its reserves to play extensive minutes.

If the bench has a star, it’s forward Jarrod Uthoff.

Uthoff has come off the bench in every game in part because of the per-formance of senior Melsahn Basabe. But Uthoff is the team’s leading re-bounder, and his presence at the end of tight games is a testament to how much McCaffery already trusts him.

Basabe and Uthoff were joined by junior center Gabe Olaseni, whose 14 points and 10 boards gave Iowa three players with regulation double-dou-bles for the fi rst time since 1993.

Peter Jok, the only freshman in Io-wa’s rotation, has taken advantage of all those blowouts to show his promise as a potential volume scorer in years to come.

Senior forward Zach McCabe, once a starter, is playing the best basketball of his career through 11 games.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — LSU and Iowa will meet in the Outback Bowl, just the second time the Ti-gers and Hawkeyes faced each other on the football field.

The teams were ex-tended invitations Sun-day for the New Year’s Day matchup played at Raymond James Stadium, home of the NFL’s Tam-pa Bay Buccaneers.

The only other meet-ing between the school with rich football tradi-tions was in the 2005 Capital One Bowl in Or-lando. Drew Tate threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Warren Holloway as time expired to give Iowa 30-25 victory.

“We feel these two teams will continue our reputation of putting on an exciting show,” Out-back Bowl chairman Ken Hoverman said.

The 14th-ranked Ti-gers (9-4) are making their first trip to Tampa for postseason action

since 1989, when the Outback was known as the Hall of Fame Bowl.

Iowa (8-4) will be making its fourth appear-ance in Tampa, having last appeared in Outback following the 2008 sea-son when the Hawkeyes beat South Carolina 31-10.

Iowa beat Florida 37-17 to conclude the 2003 season in Tampa, and the Hawkeyes lost to the Ga-tors 31-24 in the game winding up the 2005 sea-

son.LSU coach Les Miles

called the annual match-up between representa-tives from the Southeast-ern Conference and Big Ten “one of the premier bowl games in college football.”

Iowa coach Kirk Fe-rentz said his team is ex-cited to be playing a team the caliber of LSU.

Iowa, which went 5-3 in the Big Ten this season, is 14-11-1 all-time in bowl games. The

Hawkeyes are 6-4 in bowl games under Ferentz.

“Kirk, his staff, and his t e a m h a v e worked e x -treme-ly hard s i n c e the end of last season, a n d h a v e been playing great foot-ball all year ... especially down the stretch,” Iowa athletic director Gary Barta said.

“Our team looks for-ward to returning to the Tampa area, and I know Hawkeye fans are excited to follow our team and get back to the Outback Bowl,” he added.

LSU has won five of its past six bowl games and is 22-18-1 all-time. The Tigers lost to Syracuse 23-10 in their last post-season visit to Tampa in 1989.

He had 12 tackles for loss and two quarterback sacks. Zimmer-man also rushed for 327 yards on 59 carries and scored four touchdowns as a running back.

Engle, 5-10 and 160 pounds, con-nected on 25-of-32 point-after-touchdowns for the season. He had 985 yards on 26 kickoffs. Engle punt-ed for the Hawks for a 35-yard aver-age, 14 punts for 486 yards.

Senior tight end Darin Hofer, 6-5 and 190 pounds, earned Class A, Dis-trict 6 second-team honors. Hofer caught 15 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns.

Junior Blake Werhle, 5-10 and 215, received second-team honors as of-fensive lineman. Junior Noah Zylstra, 5-11 and 170, landed on the all-Dis-trict 6 second-team as a linebacker. He had 26 solo tackles and 30 assisted tackles plus seven tackles for loss.

Garnering Class A, District 6 hon-orable mention were 6-0, 330-pound senior offensive lineman Kyle Hamil-ton and 5-10, 155-pound senior de-fensive back Brandon Dunsbergen. Dunsbergen had 21 solo tackles, 16 assisted tackles and two inteceptions.

SULLY — Catching up with the Lynnville-Sully junior varsity bas-ketball teams. Coaches sent in in-formation on several games played the past week or so.

Lynnville-Sully’s junior varsity boys won 35-34 over Pleasantville on Dec. 2 to open tehe season and notched a 42-27 win over Ed-dyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Dec. 7.

Against Pleasantville, the game was tight throughout with the teams knotted at 17-17 at the break.

Lynnville-Sully took a 28-26 lead into the fourth quarter.

“Throughout the game, our kids scrambled hard against the larger Trojans, but we struggled to get re-bounds and loose balls in the first half,” said Joel Harthoorn, L-S as-

sistant coach. “ In the second half, we got our hands on a few more of these plays and that lead to success. We also hit four big free throws in the final minute to help secure a victory. It was a crazy game. As a coach, I just enjoyed watching our kids hang on to a victory for all they were worth.”

John Trettin had 12 points and nine rebounds to lead the Hawks. Tyler Van Zante tossed in 10 points. Nic Kirio had nine re-bounds and Caynon Kuhlmann made three steals.

At Eddyville, Harthoorn said the younger Hawks played solid team defense in the fourt half to jump out to a 24-12 halftime lead. He said the team played “smart zone offense” and were able to get good looks at the basket in the sec-ond half.

Lirio, Trettin and Van Zante each fired in 10 points for the

Hawks. Lirio pulled eight rebounds and had seven steals. Kuhlmann handed out three assists.

The Lynnville-Sully junior var-sity girls ran their mark to 4-0 at Eddyville last Saturday with a 46-28 win over EBF.

Brenna Lanser scored 13 points while Haley James tossed in 12 points. Marissa Vos had 10 points. Lizzy Van Manen made five steals.

“It was a very physical game against an upperclassmen domi-nated junior varsity team for EBF,” said Jeff Corbett, L-S girls‘ assis-tant coach. “Our predominantly freshmen team battled through some pressure and continued to at-tack with the basketball. I was very proud of the effort, in the face of adversity. Furthermore, our half-court defense took a huge step for-ward with solid execution and ball identification. Great win and step-ping stone.”

Samson, who is under consideration for all-America distinction, Tues-day was named a first-team all-West Region selection by D3football.com. He led the league with 11.5 sacks over 10 games (1.15 per game) for 73 yards lost, and in tackles for loss with 21.5 for 96 yards lost. He also tied for second in fumbles recovered with two and recorded three of Cen-tral’s 11 blocked kicks—the second most blocks by an NCAA team. Samson was twice named to the D3football.com team of the week (Oct. 2, Oct. 23) and as conference defensive player of the week (Sept. 29, Oct. 20).

“Danny had an outstanding year and made a lot of big plays,” Mc-Martin said. “We’re excited to see him play against the other top Divi-sion III players and see where that takes him.”

Thirty-three seasons to be exact. When Lorensen took the reigns of the Monroe High School bas-ketball program in the 1980-81 regular season, he never thought it would get this far.

He served as an assistant on that first team, until the then-coach took a job as a principal elsewhere. Lorensen was offered the job on an interim basis, and despite the team’s lack of early success, he ac-cepted an offer to stay on as the coach.

Lorensen’s teams then were quite different than the Mustang teams piling up 20-win seasons over the past decade, but as they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

“Our first couple of teams were not very good,” Lorensen said with a laugh. “When I finished up that first year, I think we went 1-7. It wasn’t ’ until our ’85-’86 team that we got things turned around. We had a really good year then. In 1987, we went to the state tourna-ment for the first time. Shortly af-ter that, the schools combined, and we had some good players com-bined between the two schools.”

For most people, they try to find a job they can tolerate and stay with it until they are at a level where all the bills can be paid, but for Lorensen, he found a passion in education. He never anticipated it would lead him down the road that it has, but it proves that when someone is dedicated and humble enough, great things can fall into their laps.

Now in his 33rd year as the coach of the Mustangs, it ’s remark-able to Lorensen how won little decision made as a young man can change so many lives. Not only has Lorensen’s life been changed by the years at Monroe and PCM, but he has changed the lives of his assis-tants, players and their parents.

“When I was in college, I guess

I wasn’t 100 percent sure what I wanted to do. I decided I would like to try education,” Lorensen said. “I liked kids and working with kids, and coaching kind of went along with all of that. I really enjoyed coaching when I first started doing it. It ’s always a challenge working with the kids to try to get things figured out and make them be suc-cessful.”

Over the years, Lorensen has had some unprecedented success for a team with such a small talent-pool, which only adds depth to his legacy at PCM.

Like a fine wine ripens with age, so has Lorensen’s tutelage. The past decade at the gym in Mon-roe has been the most fruitful of his tenure, highlighted by a state championship in 2004.

But for Lorensen, as important as those trophies are, it ’s more gratifying to teach through bas-ketball. He enjoys spending time with young adults, molding them on the court and off to be the best at whatever they attempt.

“As you look back, you just look at different teams that you’ve had, different teams that you’ve gotten to coach,” he said. “We’ve had so many good teams here and good players. I had a span there where I got to coach my son for four years, that was really a highlight for me. There’s so many things you think of just player after player after player, and it ’s just been a real blessing to be around here and coach those types of kids.”

His players love him. His op-ponents respect him, and his com-munity beams with pride as they watch them. He’s both the coach the school needed and the one it deserved. Over everything, Lo-rensen is happy to have landed in a community that appreciates what he’s trying to do.

Lorensen sees the hardworking nature of the parents he comes into contact with, and any coach would

love to coach an athlete willing to learn over everything else. That trait, which PCM parents often in-still into their children, is the one that Lorensen is most grateful for. Along with the community’s sup-port, a hardworking nature helped build what has become a legacy of greatness at PCM.

“We just have a lot of hardwork-ing families in our district, and they pass that on to their kids,” Lorensen said. “It ’s been a great thing to coach kids year after year that care about what they’re doing and want to be successful. Anoth-er big part is the community and school support we have. It doesn’t matter if our teams will be good or bad, our community really support what’s going on here.”

PCM’s culture breeds expecta-tions. Those expectations have been sky-high over the past 10 years, and for the most part, every team has done its part. PCM has started 4-0 on the season, defending the Heart of Iowa Conference championship for the fourth straight season.

Seniors leave, juniors, sopho-mores and even sometimes fresh-men come in feeling pressure. The pressure to succeed is great, but that’s because of the culture. Ac-cording to Lorensen, that culture, which has established lofty expec-tations, is as much responsible for the success of the program as any-thing else.

“It ’s never easy,” Lorensen said. “The biggest thing we have going for us now is that the kids come in and their expectations of what should happen are really high and the coaches’ expectations are really high. It ’s just a culture thing where everyone buys into what we’re do-ing. When kids expect to be suc-cessful, it ’s a lot easier for it to hap-pen.”

Astrograph

Seeds take entire seasons to sprout, but emotions can become fully realized in just a few days. Jupiter and Saturn harmonize in water signs stirring the feelings that were put in motion on Tuesday. This cosmic alchemy causes emotions to quickly transmute into surprising forms.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 12). Recognition and leadership are part of the package in 2014. The next six weeks bring an ego-boosting cycle, but make no mistake, you’ll earn all the praise and success you get. January settles a relationship into a pattern that could work for the long term. Febru-ary teaches you the value of power and control. Li-bra and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 14, 38 and 45.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Onward and upward isn’t the easiest route. It takes more en-ergy to climb toward the sun than it does to coast downhill. By the end of the day, you may feel spiritually out of breath

and at the same time exhilarated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll gain insight and perspective through conversation, and as long as you don’t be-lieve everything you hear, you’ll be better for it.Enjoy the chat in the mo-ment, and you can check the facts later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It happens near-ly every day: You’re kind to someone and wind up helping yourself. Today is different, though. The circle of karma won’t swing back around for a while, and you feel truly generous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Changing another person’s world makes you responsible for it in some way, even if the change is for the better. That’s why you’re not sure whether you should intervene or keep minding your own business.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are impression-able, but be careful not to put anyone else on a level above you. If you can

see beauty, it’s because there is beauty in you. The same goes for talent, intelligence, kindness and humor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s hard to connect with seemingly perfect people, because people connect through their flaws. Luckily, no one you know is perfect! You’ll help someone feel loved, flaws and all.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re being pre-vented from moving for-ward in some way. Now the question is: Are you dealing with a block or a hurdle? They both can be overcome, but the hurdle was made for getting over.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You see what the problem is and respond to it before others even seem to notice something is off. They are just ig-noring the issues they are powerless to change. You notice because you can do something about it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You cannot worry prop-erly if you’re not able to

focus on the things that could go wrong. That’s why filling your mind with hopeful dreams of exciting possibilities makes it nearly impos-sible to stay worried.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your current social circumstance is a game. You’re merely playing a role in it. An Italian prov-erb suggests that once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because another person isn’t giving you what you want doesn’t mean it’s all a waste of time. You’ll pay attention and learn, and no mat-ter what happens, you’ll make precious use of your time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You sometimes abandon plans too early, but today something will compel you to stick with the job beyond the point of boredom. On the other side, there are rich rewards.
