Prosecutors amend charges

against Sully manBy Bob Eschliman

Daily News Editor

The Jasper County Attorney’s Office filed amended charges Monday against a Sully man accused of attacking his wife, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.

William “Billie” Sanders, 40, now faces charges of intimidation with a dangerous weapon, a Class C felony; willful injury, a Class D felony; felon in possession of a firearm, a Class D felony, false imprisonment, a seri-ous misdemeanor; and habitual offender, which is sentence “enhancer,” should he be convicted.

Sanders was origi-nally scheduled to have his first appearance on the state charges Mon-day but did not appear because he had been in federal custody since New Year’s Eve on a complaint regarding the same incident. A bench warrant was issued for Sanders’ arrest, which is more of a formal-ity, since a federal judge ruled the same day Sanders will be held over pending a federal grand jury indictment on a charge of felon in possession of a firearm.

It is unclear when a grand jury may be con-vened to hear the allegations against Sanders.

He was arrested the afternoon of Saturday, Dec. 28, at his home in rural Sully. Accord-ing to criminal complaints filed by law en-forcement, Sanders’ wife called her son to say she was being held against her will and had been assaulted.

Her son then called 911, notifying the Jas-per County Communications Center what he had been told and that Sanders had fire-arms in the home. When a deputy arrived, Sanders’ wife, who had been standing in the front yard, approached him.

The deputy observed “extensive” injuries to her face. Sanders’ wife said her husband inflicted the injuries. Going inside, the depu-ty found Sanders passed out on the floor with his pants around his ankles with an almost-empty bottle of Jack Daniels next to him.

As Sanders was taken into custody, the deputy said a number of 12-gauge shotgun shells were found in Sanders’ pants pocket and in the pockets of a coat that had been sitting next to him on the floor. Law enforce-ment officials also retrieved four firearms — all loaded — from the home:

• two 12-gauge pump-action shotguns,• a .22-caliber long rifle and• a 9 mm handgun.Sanders’ wife was first taken to Pella Re-

gional Health Center and was later airlifted to Mercy Medical Center. While being trans-ported to Pella, she stated to the ambulance crew Sanders had hit her in he face with the butt of a shotgun, and that she thought she may have fractured ribs.

Sheriff John Halferty interviewed her two days later in her hospital room. During the interview, Sanders’ wife explained he had fired one of the weapons at her while she was sitting on the couch, and that he had also fired a crossbow at her.

Halferty stated both weapons missed where she had been sitting by 12 inches or less. He said Sanders’ wife also told him Sanders had forced her to drive him to a gas station at gunpoint to purchase cigarettes.

Sanders has a lengthy criminal history. In 1995, he was convicted of disorderly conduct, two charges of simple assault and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In 1996, he was charged and acquitted of disorderly conduct and had a charge of sim-ple assault dismissed. He was convicted that year of possession of marijuana, and later of for violating his probation related to that conviction.

In 1998, two charges of domestic abuse without intent to inflict injury were dis-missed. However, he was convicted of public intoxication, interference with official acts, and two subsequent probation violations.

In 1999, he was convicted of assault causing bodily injury and interference with official acts and public intoxication and disorderly conduct. In 2001, a charge of pos-session of marijuana was dismissed, but he was convicted on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Sarmento presents new parking proposal to Newton City Council

By Zach JohnsonDaily News Staff Writer

A parking ordinance proposal has not been brought to the New-ton City Council since 2001, but on Monday night, Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Ex-ecutive Director Darrell Sarmen-to presented a proposal for a new parking ordinance in the downtown area.

“We have so many business own-ers and patrons who, due to the parking ordinance, have to walk three blocks or more to get to their

cars,” Sarmento said.The current regulations allow no

parking in the downtown area from 2 to 6 a.m. from November to Feb-ruary. The proposal would institute a hotline citizens can call to find out if the plows will be running in the downtown area and, if so, where.

“This proposal is instrumental for downtown as we make changes to the area through businesses and residential,” Sarmento said.

The presentation would mark the beginning of a study to gain data on whether or not the proposal needs to be further evaluated.

Bullock sweeps 40th annual People’s Choice AwardsLOS ANGELES

(AP) — Sandra Bull-ock reigned supreme at the 40th annual Peo-ple’s Choice Awards on Wednesday night, tak-ing home four trophies as the evening’s top winner.

The actress was named favorite movie actress, comedic ac-tress, dramatic actress and shared the favor-ite movie duo award with “Gravity” co-star George Clooney. Bull-ock’s buddy comedy, “The Heat,” co-starring Melissa McCarthy, was awarded favorite come-dic movie.

Fans deemed Ellen DeGeneres their favor-ite daytime TV host, making her the wom-an who has gained the most People’s Choice Awards with a total of 14 trophies.

“As a young girl growing up in New Or-leans, if anyone would have told me I was go-ing to win 14 People’s Choice Awards I ... I mean 12, yes. 13, maybe. But 14?” joked DeGeneres, host of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” who said that she wanted to make the show for everyone from old, young, black, white, guy and straight.

“Iron Man 3” scored three awards including favorite movie, action movie and the film’s star, Robert Downey Jr., channeling Iron Man in

his acceptance speech, received the favorite ac-tion movie star honor.

Justin Timber-lake also nabbed three awards. Among them was the favorite album accolade for “The 20/20 Experience.” In a sweet moment, he thanked his “beautiful wife,” Jessica Biel, “for teaching me patience and the little things like just putting the dishes in the dish-washer. It goes a long way. Fellas, you’re wel-come.”

Katy Perry, who was not at the show, scored the win for favorite vid-eo for the third year in a row, following up last year’s award for “Part of Me” and 2012’s honor for “Last Friday Night” with her hit “Roar” this year.

A pregnant Drew Barrymore, who joked that DeGeneres had called her fat backstage, presented her “Blended” co-star Adam Sandler with the comedic movie actor award.

After debuting her talk show “The Queen Latifah Show” in 2013, fans crowned Queen Latifah their favorite new talk show host.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev, the stars of “The Vampire Dia-ries,” earned the award for best on-screen chemistry at the Peo-ple’s Choice Awards. The duo, who had their round of breakups and

makeups on-screen and off, joked about their coupledom.

“The good thing is chemistry,” said Do-brev, with her arm around Somerhalder, who she is no long ro-mantically attached to. They managed to make a would-be awkward moment entertain-ing by addressing their buzz-worthy pairing head-on.

Shemar Moore heav-ily hit on fellow pre-senter Malin Akerman, cracking jokes about ebony and ivory and saying he didn’t see a ring on her finger. She played right along, leaning in as the crowd cheered them on.

Stephen Colbert won the favorite late night talk show host award, Britney Spears picked up the favorite pop art-ist honor, and Kaley Cuoco received the favorite comedic TV actress prize as well as the favorite TV comedy award, along with the rest of the cast of “The Big Bang Theory.”

Sara Bareilles per-formed her hit “Brave,” country star Brad Pais-ley took the stage to sing “The Mona Lisa” and OneRepublic sang “Counting Stars.”

Jennifer Hudson was the show’s second hu-manitarian award recip-ient for her work with children via her Julian D. King Gift Founda-

tion. Bullock gained the show’s first humanitar-ian award in 2013 for her efforts in storm-ravaged New Orleans.

Accompanied on stage by her sister Ju-lia, Hudson, holding back tears, accepted the favorite humanitar-ian award. “My mother always taught us with-out family you have nothing,” Hudson said. “Whether you know it or not, we all are fam-ily. What happens to the other happens to us. It’s one thing to be a ce-lebrity and have power, but it means nothing if we’re not making a difference and helping someone else. It feels good to see positivity acknowledged. Where we come from all you hear about is who shot who and who went to jail. There is more to life than the block you live on. We want to show them that I came from the same area and if I can do it, you can do it too.”

LL Cool J presented Hudson with the award. The Oscar-winning ac-tress created the Chica-go-based Julian D. King Gift Foundation with her sister, Julia Hudson, in honor of her nephew, Julian King, who was murdered in 2008 at the age of 7.

“2 Broke Girls” stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs hosted the show at the Nokia Theatre.

I had a chance to sit down and talk with Frank Liebl, Executive Director of Newton Development Corpora-tion, to talk about the “re-branding” of Newton. He asked, “What are your thoughts on the City of New-ton?”

After hearing the black hole theory and many more negative thoughts, I men-tioned my under-standing of the thoughts, but simply added Newton is what you make it. I have seen businesses closed and busi-ness ventures leave. Many of them weren’t that close to me, but a few hit close to home.

I then listened as Frank talked about remaining positive and patient about the changes coming to Newton as a result of efforts such as the Bux-ton Report and the re-branding. His idea was that it starts with us.

It’s not a secret many people speak of missing Maytag’s presence in New-ton. The company’s departure left many questioning, “How do you get over the loss of such a major player in our community?”

Maytag leaving will always be a chapter of our community’s histo-ry, and while it was bad for a while, nothing truly catastrophic happened to Newton. The population never dropped by more than 500 people below the average population of the previous years. And, many news busi-nesses stepped in with new jobs, cov-ering about 95 percent of the Maytag jobs lost.

The next point we talked about was the Buxton Report. The city has received about 25 percent of the data on the retail leakage. The results have shown much of our retail dollars are being spent in Des Moines for reasons unknown as it comes to the statistical data.

I had a chance to mention the interview I had with Gene Meyer, President of the Greater Des Moines Partnership, on the relationship of the partnership with the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce. The key phrase from that conversation was, “As a region, we’re all in this together.”

In a week filled with business and city government news, it’s amazing how you can look at what is happen-ing and know simply we’re the only missing component in the plan. The Feb. 11 launch of the re-branding campaign for the City of Newton at the DMACC Conference Center will be another milestone event for the lo-cal business community.

I urge everyone to attend the event, which starts at 5 p.m. It will be huge, not just for Newton, but for the region and the state. By going, you will better understand how well your tax dollars are being spent.

It startswith us

Letter to the Editor

Of all the numbers thrown at us over the course of last year, one stands out for me. I hope we can avoid repeating it this year.

That num-ber is 12. It’s the percentage of Americans in a Decem-ber Quinnipiac poll who said they trust the government in Wa s h i n g t o n to do what is right most or all of the time. It’s a depressingly small number — espe-cially compared to the 41 percent who say they “hardly ever” trust the government. This meshes with re-cent polls that echo a bleak truth: trust in government is at historically low levels.

That’s not all, though. Americans are feeling vulnerable and highly distrustful of both government and private-sector prying. More worri-some, a few months ago an AP poll found that fewer than a third of Americans trust one another. The poll’s message is clear: our society is in the midst of a crisis in trust.

This might seem like a touchy-feely concern, but it’s not. Trust is essential to our political system and our way of life. The belief that people and institutions will do what they say they will do is the coin of the realm in our society. It is what allows people to work together — in their daily interactions with others and in their communities, legislatures and Congress. Negotia-tion, compromise, collegiality, and the mechanisms our complex and diverse society depends on are im-

possible without trust. Trust is one of the medley of virtues that have allowed our institutions to develop and prosper, along with honesty, competence, responsibility, and ci-vility.

A breakdown in trust between Congress and the executive branch invariably brings problems: the tur-moil of the Vietnam War era, Wa-tergate, Iran-Contra, our current budget travails.

A society-wide lack of trust im-poses real costs. It makes the draft-ing of laws and their implementa-tion extremely difficult: government becomes more expensive because it requires more emphasis on regula-tions and enforcement.

In fact, you could argue that we see all around us the results of our trust deficit. Government dysfunc-tion, an economy performing below its potential, public officials’ scan-dals and misdeeds, trusted institu-tions’ willingness to skirt the law and standards of good conduct, our social safety net under attack be-cause people mistrust recipients — all of these speak to a society strug-gling as trust weakens.

Yet here’s a question. Do the polls match your experience? In my case, they do not. Trust still figures in my dealings with institutions and individuals, most of whom are good people trying to live a decent life and to be helpful to others.

They deal with one another hon-orably and with care. I’m convinced that this is because, no matter what the polls say at the moment, the habits instilled by parents, schools, and a vast number of public and pri-vate institutions do not just disap-pear.

These habits include the expe-

rience of grappling with the chal-lenges that representative democ-racy throws at us — and they serve as a reminder that we need trust in one another to make our national experiment in representative gov-ernment work.

As idealistic or even naive as this may sound, we need to work toward more trust among our people and between people and their govern-ment. Some new laws might help, but the challenge is more basic than law can address.

Higher standards of conduct at all levels of American life must become the norm. Trust may have weakened, but most of us do not see or experience a corrupt America. Even as we have become a larger, more diverse nation, a sense of com-munity remains crucially important to make this country safe and secure for ourselves and our children.

We cannot take for granted our success at self-government over the centuries: the only invisible hand guiding and preserving our institu-tions is our collective will.

Events in recent years have given us plenty of reason to be distrustful. Clearly, healthy skepticism is war-ranted in the wake of the NSA rev-elations, the problems with the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act, and other evidence of both government and corporate misbehavior.

In the end, however, “trust but verify” is still the golden standard. Our ability to function and move forward as a society rests on trust.

Think about it.• • •

Food industry cuts calories four-fold over pledgeWASHINGTON (AP) —

Some of the nation’s largest food companies have cut daily calorie counts by an average of 78 per person, a new study says, more than four times the amount the industry pledged to slash by next year.

The study sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that be-tween 2007 and 2012, the es-timated the total cut in food product calories to be about 6.4 trillion.

Seventy-eight calories would be about the same as an average cookie or a me-dium apple, and the federal government estimates an average daily diet at around 2,000 calories. The study said the calories cut averaged out to 78 calories per day for the entire U.S. population.

The 2010 pledge taken by 16 companies — including General Mills Inc., Campbell Soup Co., ConAgra Foods Inc., Kraft Foods Inc., Kel-logg Co., Coca-Cola Co.,

PepsiCo Inc. and Hershey Co. — was to cut 1 trillion calories by 2012 and 1.5 tril-lion calories by 2015.

The Robert Wood John-son Foundation signed on to hold the companies account-able, and that group hired researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to painstakingly count the calories in almost every single packaged item in the grocery store. To do that, the UNC researchers used the store-based scanner data of hundreds of thousands of foods, commercial databases and nutrition facts panels to calculate exactly how many calories the companies were selling.

The researchers aren’t yet releasing the entire study, but they said Thursday that the companies have exceed-ed their own goals by a wide margin.

Dr. James Marks, direc-tor of the Health Group at the Robert Wood Johnson

Foundation, said the group is pleased with the results but the companies “must sustain that reduction, as they’ve pledged to do, and other food companies should follow their lead.”

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is a nonpartisan philanthropic and research organization that works to improve the nation’s health.

Even though the compa-nies that made the commit-ment represent most of the nation’s most well-known food companies, they sold only around a third of all packaged foods and beverages at the beginning of the study. Missing are many off-label brands sold under the names of retailers, and it’s unknown whether those products have changed.

It is also unclear how the reduction in calories trans-lates into consumers’ diets. When the companies made the pledge in 2010, they said one way they would try and

reduce calories would be to change portion sizes in an attempt to persuade consum-ers to eat less. The compa-nies also said that they would develop new lower-calorie options and change existing products so they have fewer calories.

Evidence of those efforts are visible on any grocery store shelf. Many products now come in lower calorie versions, are baked instead of fried, or sold in miniature as well as larger versions.

Marks says he believes that companies’ efforts to package smaller servings — 100 calo-rie packs of popular snacks, for example — and smaller cans of sugary drinks may have contributed to the re-duction in calories. He says the main contributors most likely were the public’s in-creasing willingness to buy healthier foods and compa-nies responding to those con-sumers.

The companies involved

are all part of an industry coalition of food businesses called the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation that has organized to help re-duce obesity. The foundation pledged to reduce the calories as part of an agreement with a group of nonprofit organi-zations and made the 2010 announcement as part of first lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign to combat childhood obesity.

Lisa Gable of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foun-dation says the study’s find-ings “exceeded our expecta-tions.”

She said the companies achieved the goal by com-ing together and also com-peting to make new lower-calorie foods. Market studies have shown that many of the healthier foods have outper-formed other products, she said.

“This is a very significant shift in the marketplace,” Ga-ble said.

In April of 2002, a fugitive from justice charge was issued, but later withdrawn. Two months later, he was convicted of assault causing bodily injury to a peace officer, do-mestic abuse without intent to inflict injury and first-degree harassment, which resulted in a prison sentence.

Sanders was found in violation of his pa-role in November of 2005 and again in Au-gust of 2006. In November of 2006, he was convicted of first-degree theft and a Class C felony controlled substance violation and again sentenced to prison.

In October of 2010, he was convicted of assault causing bodily injury.

Gov. Branstad: No luck killing hog on Texas trip

DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad says he did not nab a wild hog dur-ing a hunting trip in Texas this week.

Branstad said Wednesday that the trip was his first time hunting wild pigs. After wait-ing to take a shot, he said he missed. Brans-tad said his group had more success shooting wild ducks, killing seven birds.

Iowa company sues Google over copyrighted photo DES MOINES (AP)

— A Des Moines com-pany is suing Google, demanding it remove a copyrighted photo from a private blog that mocks corporate head-shots.

ARAG North Amer-ica and Ann Dieleman, a senior vice president and chief marketing of-ficer for the insurance company, filed the copy-right lawsuit on Dec. 31 in federal court, The Des Moines Register re-ported.

ARAG said Google has denied its requests to remove the photo, which was posted on SexyExecs .b logspot .

com in 2009. The author of the private blog is not known, but the blog is hosted through Blogger, a company owned by Google.

Matt Kallman, a Google spokesman, said in an email that the company is not com-menting on the lawsuit.

Brett Trout, the attor-ney who formally filed the lawsuit, sent a letter to Google in September 2012 that accused the company of copyright infringement. Google declined to remove the photo and requested proof that ARAG held the copyright to the photo. Google later de-

clined a second request after ARAG said it owned the photo.

“As always, we en-courage you to resolve any disputes directly with the blogger in question,” Google said in an email to Trout.

The newspaper re-ported that Dieleman’s photo and link to the mock blog are a top re-sult when using Google to search her name.

“We’ve followed the appropriate procedures to remove the content. However, after contin-ued back and forth it was time to assert my legal rights,” she said.

Experts say the case

highlights a growing clash with bloggers who post images online with-out permission.

“Bloggers think they can take a picture on the Internet and give credit to whoever and that will save them from li-ability, but that is really not true,” said Shontavia Johnson, an associate professor who teaches intellectual property at Drake University Law School.

Google’s self-pub-lished transparency report says it received nearly 25 million take-down requests last month for copyright violations.

Governor, lawmakers set modest goals for 2014DES MOINES (AP) — After

reaching bipartisan agreements on several major policy initiatives last year, Gov. Terry Branstad said Wednesday that he is setting more modest expectations for the 2014 legislative session.

Speaking at The Associated Press’ annual legislative semi-nar, Branstad said he will unveil proposals next week dealing with bullying, Internet access and sup-port for veterans. Those items will be released along with his budget plan.

“We intend to have a very fo-cused session,” Branstad said.

Last year Branstad and law-makers in the Republican-major-ity state House and Democratic-controlled state Senate approved a property tax cut, new education spending and an expansion of low-income health care. Branstad and legislative leaders cautioned that they were not expecting the same kind of results this year.

“It’s not going to be quite as dramatic as the last session,” said Republican House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, of Hiawatha.

Because this an election year

for many lawmakers, some like-ly will want to conclude work quickly and get on the campaign trail. Branstad also is expected to run for re-election, though he has not announced his plans.

Legislative leaders cited a few areas of interest. Democrats said they will be looking at ways to increase the minimum wage, while Republicans said seeking continued tax cuts will be a prior-ity. Issues that remain up in the air include how to dedicate more resources for Iowa’s crumbling roads and bridges. It also is not clear if lawmakers will set schools funding for the 2015-16 school year during this session, as dic-tated by state law.

Iowa continues to enjoy a strong budget position and offi-cials expect to end the fiscal year in June with a surplus of nearly $900 million. But Branstad cau-tioned that those dollars are needed to pay for the education spending approved last year and to make up some of the tax rev-enues local government will lose due to the commercial property tax cut.

“It’s a good reason why not to go on a spending spree and it also cautions people about what is affordable in terms of reducing taxes,” Branstad said.

Branstad also expressed con-cern about the economic impact of a recent proposal from the En-vironmental Protection Agency to reduce the amount of ethanol that must be blended with gaso-line in 2014.

Iowa is the nation’s leading producer of ethanol, a fuel ad-ditive primarily made from corn that produces lower carbon emis-sions than gasoline. The EPA in November proposed reduc-ing by nearly 3 billion gallons the amount of biofuels required to be blended into gasoline in 2014, prompting outcry by politi-cal leaders from both parties who claimed such a move would dev-astate Iowa’s economy.

“We want to make it clear to anybody that’s looking at national office that this is an issue Iowans care deeply about and this is an issue that could take the Midwest from leading the nation’s recovery into a tailspin,” Branstad said.

Iowa 2013 biodiesel production of 230 million gallons a recordDES MOINES (AP) — Iowa set a

record for production of biodiesel last year reaching 230 million gallons.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Asso-ciation, an ethanol and biodiesel trade group says Iowa’s production of bio-

diesel was up 25 percent last year from 2012 when the previous record was set at 184 million gallons.

Biodiesel is primarily used to power fleet vehicles for government agencies, military, and commercial trucks.

Iowa, the leading producer of bio-diesel, accounted for 13.5 percent of the nation’s biodiesel production last year. The state has 12 biodiesel re-fineries with the capacity to produce nearly 315 million gallons annually.

Sixty-eight percent of the biodiesel in Iowa is made from soybean oil and 27 percent comes from animal fats. The remaining 5 percent is made from used cooking oil and other oils.

DEAR ABBY: In response to the let-ter from “Family First in Florida” (Nov. 3), it’s no wonder her son and daughter-in-law want some peace and quiet when their new baby arrives. Grandma-to-be appears controlling, entitled and someone who will be more of an endurance test than a helping presence. They are right to set kind, yet firm, boundaries with her.

I wanted privacy during and after childbirth, and I’m grateful my mom and MIL respected our wishes. I needed time to establish a nursing routine, heal and get to know my baby before I was ready to host overnight guests.

My kids’ grandmas both have strong, loving relationships with their grandkids, so please remind “Family First” she’s not missing out on anything. She’ll still get to be a doting granny, but for now she should back off and remember the arrival of the child is not about HER. — EXPERI-ENCED MOM IN OMAHA

DEAR MOM: I’m pleased every-thing worked out well for you. That wom-an’s letter hit a nerve with my readers. A sampling of their comments:

DEAR ABBY: I had the same vision of being there when my grandkids were born. However, my kids have not involved me the way I imagined.

“Family First’s” son is putting HIS family first, as he should. He and his wife have chosen what they feel will make the smoothest, least-stressful launch for their new family, and he is protecting that plan. If she doesn’t respect her son’s right to make that decision, she risks jeopardizing her future relationship with him, his wife AND the grandkids.

The essence of a mother’s love is sac-rifice. It’s time to put aside her dreams and help her son fulfill his. — SUZIE IN OLYMPIA, WASH.

DEAR ABBY: The new parents are greatly misinformed about the importance of having grandparents around just before and immediately after the birth of a new baby. It helps to have a family member in the waiting room to update other family and well-wishers so Dad can devote full attention to the new mom and baby.

My mother was a godsend, taking care of everything while we bonded with our child. She did the cooking, the chores, and gave us needed breaks during the day

so we were able to tolerate night feed-ings. When our second child arrived, she helped with our older one.

Childbirth is difficult. I don’t think this new mom realizes she won’t be able to do it all. — SHANA IN LOUISIANA

DEAR ABBY: Has “Family First” considered that her daughter-in-law’s mother may be coming? Unfair as it may seem, in cultures around the world, the role of the paternal grandmother is far different than that of the maternal grand-mother. — KNOWS FOR SURE IN KENYA

DEAR ABBY: My son and DIL told everyone, including the other grandpar-ents, who live near them, they wanted NO visitors for at least six weeks. That sad grandma needs to brush up on her Skype and Facetime skills so she can see them frequently on her computer and phone. We do this with our kids.

In the first year, the baby learned our voices and saw our faces often. When we met again, it was like we’d always been there. — COMPUTER GRANNY

DEAR ABBY: While she isn’t in-vited to be there for the birth of her first grandchild, I’m sure her son and DIL will be begging her to come for the next one. After a week of no sleep, they are going to wish they had told her yes this time! — GRANNY IN ILLINOIS

DEAR ABBY: When I declined my mother-in-law’s offer to help out when my son was born, she paid to have a catering service deliver daily three-course dinners for two weeks so I wouldn’t have to cook. It was the best gift I ever received, and I love her for it! — LISA IN NORTH CAROLINA

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Iowa Speedway designer and NAS-CAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace is returning to the driver’s seat — for an afternoon.

What started as friendly ribbing and good-natured coaxing from team members on pit road late last season resulted in Wallace getting into the Penske Racing’s No. 2 Miller Lite Ford. Wallace, who continues to be an ambassador for Iowa Speedway, will be behind the wheel of a Sprint Cup car for the fi rst time since he retired in 2005.

The 1989 premier series champion will help celebrate longtime sponsor Miller Lite’s upcoming 40th birthday by steering the appropriately retro-colored Miller Lite car during Thurs-day afternoon’s Preseason Thunder test session at Daytona International Speedway.

“It all started at Homestead I was standing between the 48 ( Jimmie Johnson) and 2 (Brad Keselowski) cars joking around and those guys were egging me on to get back in a car and when Brad got wind of it, he called me up two weeks later and was serious about it and Roger (Penske) was all for it,” the 57-year-old Wallace told NASCAR.com. “Everyone in the world has been on me to test. ‘Why haven’t you been back in a car?’ This here kind of got me.

“It’s going to be hard not to have a

big ol’ smile all day Thursday.”Not only did 2012 NASCAR

Sprint Cup Series champion Kesel-owski, the current driver of the fa-mous Blue Deuce, pursue the idea of Wallace driving his car, he told NAS-CAR.com that he couldn’t be prouder to share his seat with Wallace, the driver Keselowski considers largely responsible for the team’s title-worthy presence in the Cup ranks today.

“I thought it was a great opportuni-ty and obviously there’s a lot going on with the retro scheme to tie in,” said Keselowski, who was 5-years old when Wallace hoisted his Cup trophy and in his fi rst full season of NASCAR com-petition (NASCAR Camping World

Truck Series) the year Wallace retired.“I’ve got a lot of respect for Rusty

and am thankful for what he’s done. He pretty much put Penske’s NAS-CAR program on the board. He’s kind of the father of the Miller Lite racing program and it’s a great way for us to reconnect to the roots of our program and pay respect to him as kind of the patriarch of it in a lot of ways.

“For me, it was a no-brainer for him to do it.”

Now as popular a TV analyst on ESPN as he was as a 55-time winner in the Cup ranks during a storied 25-year career, Wallace said he expects the experience to be more than a senti-mental adventure around NASCAR’s most famous track. He got permission and blessing from ESPN to make his fi rst laps in NASCAR’s Generation-6 car and sees it as a tangible asset to his work in the broadcast booth too.

“I think it’ll help my TV stuff and I’ll have a more in-depth knowledge of what the car feels like,” Wallace said. “I don’t know of any other ana-lysts that are doing this right now. … I honestly pride myself in the informa-tion I give fans on the air.

“This will give me an opportunity to validate a lot of the stuff I say on air.”

Wallace said in preparation for the test he had to undergo all the manda-tory medical testing any driver would — from baseline concussion scans to drug testing — and even secure a new NASCAR license. And NASCAR

confi rmed Wallace has met all its re-quirements.

“Mike Helton’s pretty pumped up about this, too,” Wallace said of the longtime NASCAR president.

According to Wallace, crew chief Paul Wolfe wasn’t planning on ei-ther Keselowski or Wallace doing any drafting practice in this week’s two-day test on the famous high banks, so Wallace will make a series of single-car runs.

How many, no one knows yet.“I’m going to give the car all I’ve

got and I’m going to learn,” Wallace said. “They’re looking for some speed, some comfort. I’m not going there to say, ‘Let’s change this spring, let’s change this shock.’ I’m there to gain a lot of knowledge and have fun with the team. It’s not like I’m going there to aid the team. I’m going to have fun, learn and get back in the seat.”

“Brad will shake it down a couple runs then I’ll get in the car and I just may stay in it the rest of the day,” Wal-lace said with a laugh.

And that’s fi ne with Keselowski.“There’s plenty of testing to do and

I told him, I’m not too proud to let you in my car and do some laps, let’s do it,” Keselowski said. “At the end of the day, this is about respect and this is my way of showing respect back to Rusty. He’s a Hall of Famer for a rea-son and I expect he’ll get up to speed right away.

“I might just go in the grandstands and have a beer and watch.”

MAT Tumbling/Trampoline holds fi rst home meet

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State women’s coach Bill Fennelly looked at his phone and there was a congratulatory text from Cyclones counterpart and close friend Fred Hoiberg.

When Fennelly arrived at the school’s basketball facility in Ames, the fi rst faces he saw were Hoi-berg’s players. They braved shivering conditions to congratulate Fennelly for staying undefeated with a win over Oklahoma on Sunday.

The Cyclone men cer-tainly appreciate how tough it is to take a perfect record into January.

It’s 14 up, and 14 down for the men and women at Iowa State. The Cyclones

are the only Division I school with two unbeaten basketball teams.

Iowa State’s men and women made the most of Hilton Magic, win-ning back- to-back Big 12 Conference games this week. The ninth-ranked men dispatched No. 7

Baylor 87-72 Tuesday. The women are ranked 11th, their highest posi-tion since 2002, after beat-ing the Sooners 82-75 in overtime on the road came home Wednesday to roll past Texas Tech, 74-48.

Each program is off to the best start in school

history and packing Hil-ton Coliseum on a nightly basis. The men have al-ready had four sellouts and expect to reach capacity for every Big 12 game — while the women are again averaging close to 10,000 a game.

“It’s exciting for our players. It’s exciting for our coaches and it’s excit-ing for our fans,” athletic director Jamie Pollard said. “It’s a unique situation, and it is what is. I don’t think anyone has any con-trol over it.”

Both of Iowa State’s teams had roughly the same expectations: to make some noise in the Big 12 and compete for a decent NCAA tournament seed.

Iowa State revels in unbeaten basketball teams

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Hallie Christ-offerson scored 22 points and No. 11 Iowa State won its third straight Big 12 Conference game with a 74-48 victory over Texas Tech Wednesday night.

Christofferson shot 7-of-10 from the fl oor and 6 of 6 from the free-throw line. Brynn Williamson added 11 points.

Seanna Johnson scored 10 as Iowa State extended its school record for best start to a season and longest winning streak in program history. The Cyclones (14-0, 3-0) only missed one of their 17 free throws.

Texas Tech (6-8, 0-3) was held to just 16 fi rst-half points. The Raiders scored twice as many points after the break (32), but could not overcome the 21-point fi rst half defi cit.

Marina Lizarazu led Texas Tech with 10 points and was the only Lady Raider to score in double digits. Texas Tech combined for just six assists and shot 1 of 10 from 3-point range.

You’re the only one who can make today’s judgment call. Be honest with your-self: Are you afraid to ne-gotiate with the established order, or are you intuitively sensing that this is a bad time? If you’re merely afraid, push yourself while Mercury is still in power-talking Capricorn. But if your intuition is setting off an alarm, obey it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 9). You will put your energy out into the world, and new friends will respond to you directly through the magic of social media. April highlights shrewd action — cut through the superfluous, and get what you need. By May you’ll determine that you’ve leaned all you can in a classroom. Grab your diploma and go! Aries and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 22, 49, 28 and 16.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).You’ll receive psychic information and know what a person is feeling or, more likely, hiding. This doesn’t mean you have to call the

person out. The kind thing would be to quietly make note and keep it to yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re happy to help loved ones, but not when you’re doing about 20 other things at the same time. Maybe you need more help than the people who are asking for it!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Persevere. You don’t have to change a thing about what you’re doing; you just have to do it for a longer period of time. The resistance you are encoun-tering eventually will wear down.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Good fortune will de-pend on how people react to your deeds. Ponder the best approach. If you’re bold, you’ll earn the public’s support. If you’re meek, you’ll earn their adoration and love.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even those who don’t appear to hear the call of the wild will heed it. They may deny their animal na-ture, but that won’t make it

go away. You will embrace your animal nature, hear the call and heed it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone you’re trying to help is being difficult — a sign that he or she does not in fact need the help so desperately. The old say-ing goes that a drowning man isn’t picky about who throws him a rope.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re not feeling completely enamored with a partnership, but it could still work out brilliantly, as many “marriages of conve-nience” do. This likely has to do with something other than a romantic relation-ship.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In regard to sand castles and domino mazes, futility is the whole point. Some games are made for destruc-tion, and you have a more satisfying experience with them when you keep this in mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can fake applause more easily than you can fake laughter, and you may have

to do both to get through today’s little show. But the good news is, when you come home, it’s genuine joy all around!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The person who is being greedy is really afraid that people won’t think enough of him or her to provide for deep-seated needs. Allay this person’s fear, and the greed will go away, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll have fun doing away with the formalities. Start a conversation in the middle or, even better, about three-quarters of the way through. Make a posi-tive presumption and go from there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your inten-tion changes an interaction. Instead of being concerned with what you can get out of a relationship, you’ll think only about enjoy-ing the other person, who in turn will become most enjoyable.

Older adult wellness: SMART goals

The new year is here and thousands of people are setting predictable resolutions. Vague statements such as “I want to eat better” and “I want to get in shape” are among the top reso-lutions people make at the start of January.

Many of us know, perhaps from personal experience, that the resolution rarely lasts long and by March we are back to our December habits. Be en-couraged that it is possible to form and accomplish a strong New Year’s resolution.

But rather than follow the trends, take a moment to evalu-ate what you truly want to ac-complish this year. On what as-pect of your personal well-being do want to focus your time and energy? From social well-being to physical well-being, there are many dimensions to wellness.

After you’ve identified an area of your life that you want to

improve and celebrate, write a SMART goal. A SMART goal contains 5 essential elements for success.

Specific — Your goal should be specific. Rather than a broad statement such as, “I want to get in shape,” add detail to your goal to say, “I will improve my balance.”

Measurable — Make your goal measureable. Define how you will determine if you’ve succeeded in reaching your goal. For example, “I will improve my balance to stand on one foot for 15 seconds.”

Attainable — Setting too high of expectations is a com-mon reason New Year’s resolu-tions fail. Evaluate your current habits and aim slightly higher. For example, if you could only balance on one foot for eight seconds, working toward 15 seconds is a reasonable im-provement.

Realistic — Decide honestly if this is something you are will-

ing to work towards. If you have no desire to improve your bal-ance, find an area of well-being that you are passionate about improving.

Timely — Always put a deadline on your goals and resolutions. Without a defini-tive time parameter, the goal is likely to get pushed to the back burner.

With all essential elements in place, a SMART goal re-garding balance could be, “I will improve my balance to stand on one foot for 15 seconds by March 1, 2014.”

Whether you set a goal to improve your balance or resolve to learn a new skill, follow the steps of SMART goal setting to set yourself up for success. This will trigger a positively reinforc-ing cycle. Once you succeed in reaching one goal, you will be likely to set more goals and have greater achievements. Take ownership of your well-being in 2014 and make it a great year!

January is National Oatmeal Month

Did you know that January is na-tional oatmeal month? This is a perfect time to focus on improving your overall health and increasing the whole grains in your diet, giving you a good reason to start the year off right. Though we will concentrate on oatmeal at this time, remember that all whole grains have many health benefits and can re-duce the risk of some chronic diseases.

Health Benefits of OatsMany studies have documented the

health benefits of oats.• Eating oats helps lower LDL (bad)

cholesterol and may help reduce the risk of heart disease.

• Oats help you feel fuller longer, which may help with weight control.

• Oatmeal and oats may help lower blood pressure.

• Oats may help reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, as the soluble fiber may

help with blood sugar control.• Oats can help decrease the use of

laxatives, without the side effects asso-ciated with medications.

• Early introduction of oats in chil-dren’s diets may help reduce their risk of asthma.

• Oats are high in beta-glucans, a kind of starch that stimulates the im-mune system and inhibits tumors. This may help reduce your risk of some can-cers.

• Oats contain more than 20 unique polyphenols called avenanthramides, which have strong anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-itching activity.

Interesting and Fun Oat FactsStatistics experts have said that we

buy more oats during the month of January than any other time of the year. Oats are a favorite for breakfast, partly due to their sweeter flavor.

Among the most widely-eaten grains, oats are unique in that they al-most never have their bran and germ

removed in processing. When you see oats on the label, then, you are gener-ally guaranteed you are getting whole grain.

In the U.S., most oats are steamed and flattened to produce rolled oats and are sold as “old-fashioned” or regular oats, quick oats, and instant oats. The more oats are flattened and steamed, the quicker they cook – and the softer they become. Steel-cut oats include the entire oat kernel (looks similar to a grain of rice) and are sliced once or twice into smaller pieces which helps water penetrate and cook the grain. This is sometimes called Irish or Scot-tish oats and is chewier and nuttier in texture.

Oatmeal is rated #1 among breakfast foods and #3 overall in a “Satiey Index” developed by Australian researchers who were searching to find foods that make people feel full and satisfied the longest.

Oats are being used in the food in-

dustry as a stabilizer in foods such as ice cream.

Because of their natural anti-itching properties, oats are also used in the cos-metic industry for a variety of products. Have you heard of Aveeno? That name comes from the botanical name “avena” which means oats.

Oats were originally considered a nuisance weed, needing to be pulled up and burned when they appeared in fields with wheat and barley.

Russia, Canada, the United States, Finland and Poland are the world’s leading producers of oats.

Whole grains are an important part of the five food groups. They are an important source of nutrients, such as fiber, B vitamins – thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and folate and minerals – iron, magnesium and selenium. You can read more about the benefits of whole grains at www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/grains.
