Homeless man arrested during RV burglary

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A homeless man is facing first-degree burglary charges after he was caught inside a Ne w t o n homeo w n e r ’s RV Friday night.

Newton police were called Cook just before midnight in reference to a burglary in progress on West Second Street South. When officers arrived, the homeowner was on top of the suspect and the homeowner had visible injuries to his face.

The suspect, Dakota W. Cook, 24, of Newton, told police he broke into the recreational vehicle and additional vehicles and stole items to get food to eat. The items Cook said he stole were a crossbow and an air soft rifle that he had taken from the RV. The homeowner told police he was in his yard when he saw a light on in his RV. When he opened the door of the RV, the homeowner was allegedly struck with an unknown object. Two suspects reportedly ran out of the backyard, and Cook was detained by the homeowner.

Cook told police he was the only suspect.

Cook was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail.

Commerce has chosen the Grand Marshal for the 2017 parade.

“We had some amazing nominations this year, I was

extremely overwhelmed by the number and quality of nominations we received,” Amanda Price, executive director said.

The board of directors for the chamber read through all of the nominations and takes into account not only the quality of the nomination,

but also the dedication of the nominee in their service to the community and/or their country.

The chamber has selected Dave Ratliff as this year’s Fourth of July Parade Grand Marshal.

Officials warn residents of hot weather dangers Citations were issued for leaving pets in hot cars

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News With temperatures already reaching well into the mid-90s this month, officials are warning residents of the dangers brought on by the summer heat.

One of those dangers is leaving animals or vulnerable beings inside of a hot vehicle. Newton Police Department Chief Rob Burdess said officers have cited three individuals for leaving their pets unattended inside of hot vehicles in the last month.

“We got these animals out in time,” Burdess said. “They were called in by passerby’s who had gone into a store and noticed the animals were still inside the vehicle when they came back out — they knew the animal had been inside for at least 10

minutes.”

To help prevent deaths of these animals, city council passed an ordinance in January to prohibit pet owners from leaving animals within a vehicle during extreme heat or cold without proper ventilation or other protections f r o m the elements.

HOT

The ordinance also gave the police department, fire department or the Jasper County Animal Rescue League the right to forcibly enter a vehicle and remove the animal if it was deemed the life or safety of the animal was in jeopardy as a result of being left within the vehicle.

“In those certain circumstances the ordinance has helped us have an enforcement mechanism,” Burdess said.

During high temperatures combined with humidity, Burdess said it is not satisfactory to crack a window or park in the shade because the temperature inside the vehicle will still climb to 100 degrees within just 10 minutes.

Progress made for Red Bridge restoration

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Efforts to save the Red Bridge are continuing with support given by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

Colfax native Joe Otto, who has been leading the cause, requested two actions by the board, both of which were approved.

The bridge, located about 4.5 miles northeast of Monroe, currently spans the South Skunk River, but Otto is working to move it to Colfax at Quarry Springs Park.

“There are a certain amount of resources that have to be invested by the county before this can happen and this is the first step in that,” Otto said.

The first action taken was declaring the board’s intention not to intentionally demolish Red Bridge. Assistant to the Engineer Pam Olson said the county had no intention of taking any action with the bridge since it became unusable beyond cleaning it up if it were to fall into the river.

“My preference would be that we do something with this bridge before it is in the river,” supervisor Joe Brock.

The second action is having the county engineer determine the cost of separating BRIDGE | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Colfax native Joe Otto explains his requests for the Red Bridge project to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. Otto is working to save the Red Bridge, located about 4.5 miles northeast of Monroe, and bring it to Quarry Springs Park in Colfax as a foot bridge.

School board recognizes NHS students for musical theater awards

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Newton High School theater students were recognized at this week’s school board meeting for participating in the Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards Showcase.

NHS was among 60 Iowa schools to be recognized at the Des

Moines Civic Center on June 5. On Monday, a few students from the theater department came before the school board to show off their awards and share their experiences.

This year, Newton’s theater students tackled “Beauty and the Beast.”

The group was honored at the Musical Theater Awards, and individu-

al awards were dealt to NHS students.

Matt Moran received an award for outstanding performance in a principal role as “Gaston.” Alex Burkett and Reese Rosenquist each received special recognition honors for performance in a principal role.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Wednesday, June 14, the 165th day of 2017. There are 200 days left in the year. This is Flag Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress approved the design of the original American flag, declaring: “Resolved, that the Flag of the thirteen United States shall be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation.”

On this date: In 1775, the Continental Army, forerunner of the United States Army, was created.

In 1801, former American Revolutionary War general and notorious turncoat Benedict Arnold died in London.

In 1922, Warren G. Harding became the first president heard on radio, as Baltimore station WEAR broadcast his speech dedicating the Francis Scott Key memorial at Fort McHenry.

In 1940, German troops entered Paris during World War II; the same day, the Nazis began transporting prisoners to the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland.

In 1967, the space probe Mariner 5 was launched from Cape Kennedy on a flight that took it past Venus. California Gov. Ronald Reagan signed a bill liberalizing his state’s abortion law. The movie “To Sir, with Love,” starring Sidney Poitier, was released by Columbia Pictures.

In 1985, the 17-day hijack ordeal of TWA Flight 847 began as a pair of Lebanese Shiite Muslim extremists seized the jetliner shortly after takeoff from Athens, Greece.

Ten years ago: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared an emergency after the Hamas militant group effectively took control of the Gaza Strip. James Ford Seale was convicted of kidnapping Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee, two black teenagers who were drowned by the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi in 1964.

(Seale, sentenced to life, died in prison in 2011 at age 76.)

Five years ago: In dueling speeches in the battleground state of Ohio, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, speaking in Cincinnati, described the Obama administration as the very “enemy” of people who create jobs; President Barack Obama, going second in Cleveland, asked the nation to buy into his vision for four more years or face a return to the recession-era “mistakes of the past.”

One year ago: President Barack Obama angrily denounced Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting, blasting the views of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee as a threat to American security; Trump responded by suggesting that Obama seemed angrier at him than he was at the gunman. Democrat Hillary Clinton brought a close to the presidential primary season with a win in the District of Columbia. A 2-year-old boy was dragged into the water by an alligator near Disney’s upscale Grand Floridian Resort & Spa; the child’s remains were found the following day.

Entertainment R2-D2, lightsaber: Force is strong in this Star Wars auction BOSTON (AP) — Diehard Star Wars fans will need to rely on more than the force if they want to bid on an R2-D2 droid that appeared in several of the franchise’s movies.

A couple million dollars might also help.

Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber, Darth Vader’s helmet and shoulder armor, as well as imperial and rebel weapons are on the block, but the centerpiece is no doubt the squat blue, white and silver droid famous for communicating in a series of electronic beeps and squeaks.

Representing “the pinnacle of the Star Wars collecting universe,” it could fetch up to $2 million in the June 26-28 auction, according to Calabasas, California-based auction house Profiles in History.

The bidding is being handled by Boston-based online auction marketplace Invaluable.

Nothing like a complete R2 unit has ever been sold at auction before, said Stephanie Connell, a London-based movie memorabilia consultant not involved in the sale.

“This is not just a normal movie prop,” she said.

“This is instantly recog-

Look who is 75!

nizable, the creme de la creme of movie props.”

Connell wracked her mind, but said she could not recall any single piece of Star Wars memorabilia ever selling for anywhere close to $2 million.

The 43-inch tall R2 unit for sale is sort of a Frankenstein’s monster of droids, pieced together over several years from different original components used in the first five Star Wars movies.

There is no other known complete original R2 unit Audiologist Since 1979

in the public domain, according to the auction house.

For the sequels after the original “Star Wars: A New Hope” in 1977, production designers took the aluminum, steel and fiberglass R2 units, retired old and worn out parts and added new features to save time and meet production deadlines.

Fans outbid for the droid may want to take a shot at landing the lightsaber. Carried by actor Mark Hamill as Luke

Skywalker in the first two Star Wars movies, it is expected to sell for anywhere from $150,000 to $250,000.

Unfortunately, the prop does not emit a blade of blue light.

The 10.5 -inch lightsaber comes directly from the archive of Gary Kurtz, producer of “Star Wars: A New Hope” and “The Empire Strikes Back,” and is accompanied with a letter of authenticity signed by Kurtz.

Not a Star Wars fan?

Props from some of Hollywood’s most famous movies are also for sale, including the illuminated disco dancing floor from “Saturday Night Fever,” which is expected to get as much as $1.5 million; and the clothes worn by Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson in “Titanic.”

In terms of movie memorabilia, Star Wars rates as one of the most popular with collectors, right up there with “The Wizard of Oz,” ‘’Casablanca” and the Harry Potter films, Connell said.

For that reason, a collector of fine artwork or classic cars could end up buying the R2-D2.

“This is something you could put right next to a Picasso,” She said.

Historic Preservation Commission named Preservationist of the Year Newton Daily News The Newton Historic Preservation Commission was selected as Preservationist of the Year for 2017.

The award is presented annually to an individual or group of individuals that has championed historic preservation planning, policy or activities in Iowa. The award was presented on June 8 at the Preserve Iowa Summit in Fort Dodge.

The Newton Historic Preservation Commission has been leading the growth for preservation within the community since they were established in 2008. The mission of the group is “to provide historic pres-

Theater Continued from Page 1A Moran, Natalie Camp and Alayna Reynolds were on hand at the school board meeting. They were introduced by NHS Activities Director Scott Garvis.

“If you didn’t have the chance to come and see our musical, it was absolutely amazing,” Garvis said.

“These kids did a phenomenal job. When they took on the role, they took it all on.

They were tremendous.”

It was really special, Moran said, to get recognition for the work they put in.

“We had the opportunity to perform alongside some other great artists in the state,” Moran said. “It was a lot of fun meeting kids that have the same passions.”

Reynolds said the theater students were able to work with professionals from Broadway on different dances and singing at the awards ceremony.

Camp reflected back on how the NHS theater department did so many new things this year, like a character breakfast. The group’s performance of “Beauty and the Beast” sold out both nights earlier this year.

The statewide awards were a great way to wrap up the school year for the theater students.

“I had so much fun,” Camp said. “I made so many friends, and I think it was just an amazing opportunity.”

ervation training, build community understanding and support for future historic preservation projects, and provide opportunities for community education, involvement and enhancement.”

The Preservationist Award, recognizes the many hours that the commission has put into historic preservation in the community. In 2016 the Newton Historic Preservation Commission led a Historic Churches Walking Tour, developed an adult coloring book and hosted an adult coloring event during Newton Fest, was featured on the “Proud to Know Newton” radio show and sponsored a coffee house pre-

sentation about the Lyric Theatre, which was historically located within the Bridgehouse Coffee building.

The work that the Newton Historic Preservation Commission has helped the City of Newton accomplish is done in large part by the members who sit on the commission.

The current commissioners include Larry Hurto (Chair), Mary Jo Niksin (Vice Chair), Rita Reinheimer, Tanya Michener and Mark Hallam. Past commissioners include Maxine Udelhoven, Regina Frahm, Tom Hoover, Jerry LoRang, Kathy Jones, Sue Smith, Fred Chabot, Melanie Lahart and Christopher Frances.

The city’s ordinance states neither the city or JCARL are liable for any damage caused by the removal of the animal. It also states that the person who rescued the animal should notify an animal control officer who may take the animal to a veterinarian for treatment or to the rescue league for housing, if necessary. The cost of treatment or housing is required to be paid by the animal owner.

“Jogging with your dog is just wrong and dangerous,” Larson said.

“If they do overheat, use water from a hose or a bath tub and run cold water on their head and paws.”

Another summer time option for pets is to put a doggie swimming pool in the yard.

Burdess said the department hasn’t received any calls about children being left inside of vehicles this year, but he said it is crucial to follow the same safety rules for children, elderly persons or those with health issues.

“It really takes our citizens to be vigilant and give us a call if they see something,” Burdess said.

Burdess said if there are severe signs of distress or death occurs due to an animal being left in a hot vehicle, then the pet owner could be fined between $50 to $250 or be arrested for animal neglect and would go to court.

“We are wanting to bring awareness through this,” Burdess said. “It will hopefully be a wake up call.”

Olson said the county is already in contact with engineering firm Calhoun and Burns of Des Moines to conduct the assessment.

“Russ was going to talk to Calhoun and Burns, they have just been really busy as far as assessing it for us, but we were going to go ahead and do that and pay for the assessment as far as the ability to get them to move it,” Olson said.

Olson said the assessment should not cost a considerable amount, similar to the amounts the county pays for bridge assessments on an annual basis.

Home Run Derby As well as announcing the grand marshal, the chamber would also like to announce it has added an new afternoon activity to the Fourth of July festivities. It will be hosting a “home run derby.”

The derby will take place at Agnes Patterson Park at the girl’s lower, north softball fields. Registration will start at 1 p.m., and will close at 1:45 p.m. This is a fun, free event for all ages and skill levels. The Chamber asks that all participants bring a helmet and a glove.

Bats will be provided for each age group. Age groups will start at 5 years old and go up to 36 and older.

There will be medals awarded for first, second and third place in each age category as well as prizes for the first place finisher in each age category. Pre-registration is encouraged and the registration form can be found at www.experiencenewton.com or stop in to the chamber office, 113 First Ave. W. You can also find our event on the Newton Chamber Facebook page, with the link to our registration form.

For questions about the home run derby contact Matt Holmes at 641840-2416 or by email at: mholmes@magnumautonewton.com.

Along with the requests, Otto also presented more than 575 letters that were written in support of the restoration and preservation of the bridge. As the last historic truss bridge in Jasper County, many residents have fond memories of spending time there with their families and friends or may have a kindred connection to the other historic truss bridges previously in the county.

“The structure itself is in relatively good shape.

The bridge itself is not falling apart, it is just the substructure,” Otto said. “If you look at it you can tell it isn’t going to last much longer.”

Otto’s end goal is to move the bridge to Quarry Spring Park in Colfax and use it as a foot bridge spanning the Skunk River. The idea is to make the bridge a focal point for that access.

Bring on the heat I

Looking up at the stars Justin Jagler

t’s June in the Midwest, and temperatures are rising. I love it.

Every year, as the air outside heats up, the complaints roll in from all the hot-weather haters. When the heat index climbs above 100 degrees, I understand it’s a little uncomfortable.

But I’ll take 88 degrees and a beaming sun every single time.

Summer gives us a chance to enjoy a dip in the local pool or lake. We can soak in vitamin D from the sun and get a nice tan (or sunburn).

Summer dresses and tank tops can finally be dusted off and taken out of the closet. Ice cream and fresh-

squeezed lemonade are more enjoyable.

Baseball season is in full swing, and fans can listen to their teams on the radio outside while working in the yard or chilling in the shade.

It’s the season of festivals. Across Iowa, thousands will gather to celebrate everything from Steamboat Days in Burlington to Hinterland in Saint Charles. In my native Wisconsin, there is a festival every weekend at Henry Maier Festival Park during the warmer months.

I never understood complaining

about the weather. We have no control over it.

When winter hits the Midwest hard, people complain in similar fashion to those who oppose the heat. Resistance is futile. The only option one has to avoid the weather is to move to a different location. Around these parts, we get all four seasons. The happiest people make the most of it.

Farmers’ markets are also a summer blessing. Newtonians are lucky to have local vendors collect on the downtown square every week with fresh produce, baked goods, crafts, live music and more.

The Des Moines Farmers’ Market is amazing every Saturday morning from May until October on Court Avenue. With nearly 300 vendors from 50 Iowa counties, there is something for everyone at the weekly downtown

gathering.

Extended exposure to the sun and extreme heat is obviously a health risk.

So is staying out in below freezing temperatures without the proper protection. Drinking a ton of water and using common sense can go a long way. It’s also helpful to embrace being sweaty.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, three-quarters of all homes in the country have air conditioners.

So even if you can’t stand the heat, there’s a good chance you have an escape.

I don’t plan on hiding from the elements too much this summer. You can catch me outside with a cold drink in my hand and a smile on my face. Bring it on.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Trump didn’t ruin the media.

Obama did There is a widespread perception among those on the right that President Trump’s myriad foibles, vagaries and outright prevarications are somehow justifiable because he is The Great Destroyer of the mainstream media. His fans say he is running the media around in circles — and that is its own reward. Are you still waiting for extreme vetting? For the border wall? For tax cuts, Obamacare repeal and a massive military buildup? Well, sit down and shut up. Just be grateful that Trump has the media hysterically following his tweets like a hormonal teenage boy frantically searching for internet pornography.

But this is wrong.

Trump isn’t destroying the media’s credibility.

They already destroyed their own credibility, thanks to their allegiance to President Barack Obama.

Trump has the benefit of occupying the presidency after Obama. The media was highly critical of President Bill Clinton — even they couldn’t ignore the juicy scandals dripping daily from the White House in the 1990s. They were even more critical of President George W. Bush — they were more than willing to misreport in order to undermine a war and destroy a presidency.

But then came Obama.

Obama was the first indicator that the media would simply refuse to cover stories they didn’t like about a politician they did. The media covered Clinton’s Chinagate and Travelgate. But they refused to cover the IRS scandal with the same level of vim as they would have under Bush; they downplayed the Obama administration’s involvement in the botched “Fast and Furious” gun operation scandal; and members of the mainstream media openly mocked the right’s anger over the administration’s manipulation of the 2012 Benghazi terror attack. Obama had to be protected at all costs, including the cost of the media’s credibility.

Meanwhile, the media savaged 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. They dug up a story from his high school days regarding him forcibly cutting a classmate’s hair. They uncovered scandalous material about him strapping a dog to the roof of his car. They delved deep into his nefarious practice of investing in failing companies, and then cutting the dead weight to turn them around.

Then came Trump.

Trump didn’t do anything aside from failing to comply with media’s standards of behavior. He didn’t pander to them or treat them with respect. And the media melted down. They treated Trump horribly, of course — but they’d already treated Bush and Romney just as badly. More importantly, the media lost their ability to pretend having standards of honesty and decency after selling their souls to the Obama White House. It was difficult to take their cries of incipient tyranny seriously after they bent over backward to flatter a White House that cracked down on reporters from Fox News and the Associated Press.

Why does any of this matter?

It matters because conservatives would be wise to understand that Trump didn’t destroy the media; he inherited the shell of a media ready to crumble.

He tapped the shell, and it fell apart. But that’s not enough. Trump now has a golden opportunity to promulgate an alternative narrative in place of the one pushed by the discredited leftist media — if he can demonstrate credibility himself.

So far, he hasn’t. And that means that his credibility will crumble at first contact from someone who hasn’t already destroyed his or her credibility. Hence the media’s renewed love for former FBI Director James Comey — they believe that they can restore their own credibility by watching him destroy Trump’s.

Trump can do significant damage to the media, but only if he tells the truth. Now would be an excellent time to start.

Thank you to Newton Please accept this letter of thanks from me to the citizens of Newton for the wonderful years I have spent working alongside them for the City of Newton. The past week has been bittersweet as I concluded my work for the City of Newton and began preparing for my next step professionally.

In 2013, when I started as an analyst for the city, I would never have fathomed the variety of projects and programs I would have the opportunity to work on, but even more so, I did not know how welcoming and encouraging the community would be for my husband and me. It has been a great privilege working alongside volunteers and coworkers to

bring projects like Get to Know Newton, the restoration of the downtown murals, the installation of wayfinding signage and Newton Fest all the way from concept to reality. It has also been exciting to see the variety of ideas and optimism that citizens have for the future of Newton through focus groups, citizen surveys and community planning processes.

Seeing the growth and change in Newton firsthand has been so inspiring, and I am proud to have been a part of it.

I also want to thank the remarkable staff and elected officials at the City of Newton for their professionalism and friendship. Working in collaboration to achieve the goals of the city council and the community has been possible only through your enthusiasm and dedication to

service.

Finally, I would like to give a special thank you to those volunteers and leaders who have worked alongside me at events over the years. No matter if we are weatherizing homes, setting up community festivals in blistering heat or dreaming up the next big thing, you have matched my enthusiasm with more enthusiasm and my ideas with bigger ideas. You are driving this community forward, and I am thankful to call you friends.

Looking ahead, I am excited to continue being a part of the Newton community as a private citizen. There is still so much exciting work to be done in Newton, and I look forward to participating.

Using lunch to punish the poor One of the lucky things about being rich is that you automatically become handsome, your jokes are hilarious, and politicians treat you with fawning deference.

On the other hand, the unlucky thing about being poor is that … well, you’re poor. And society generally treats you poorly.

Indeed, morally corrupt right-wing officials in Washington and across the country are pushing the idea that poor people must be punished, as if debilitating poverty isn’t punishment enough.

One especially ugly example of this is spreading through hundreds of school districts — an abhorrent practice called “lunch shaming.”

From first-grade through senior class, most schools make

Another View Jim Hightower families pay for their kids’ cafeteria lunch, and a computer program alerts cashiers when a student’s lunch account is unpaid — a shortfall that nearly always involves poverty-level kids.

Rather than dealing with this discretely, school systems have taken to publicly humiliating children whom the computer tags as having a meal debt.

Some schools literally take an indebted student’s tray of food away, making a show of dumping the lunch in the trash in front of everyone. Some remove the hot food from the child’s tray, replacing it with a cold sand-

wich of white bread and a slice of cheese, claiming that this socalled “sandwich” meets federal nutrition standards.

Others actually brand the offenders, as one school in Alabama did last year, using markers to write “I need lunch money” on the poor kids’ arms! The Department of Agriculture reports that nearly half of America’s school districts use some form of shaming and stigmatizing, embarrassing children to tears.

What educational lesson is this teaching? And what’s the matter with school boards and lawmakers who are either allowing or directly causing this abuse, using lunch to punish the poor?

Being poor means you lack money; being mean to the poor means you lack a soul.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Man’s old tryst with wife’s yoga teacher causes strain

DEAR ABBY: My wife recently started a new yoga class she really likes.

But I made the mistake of telling her that the instructor and I had dated briefly (had sex) when we were around 15. I am 50 now and my wife is 45. I was a promiscuous drunk when I was in high school and college. I have been sober now for 28 years, and we have been together for 22 years. I have not been with another woman since I met my wife.

Abby, she treats this situation as if I cheated on her yesterday, and this was 35 years ago! Also, after she recognized my wife’s last name, the yoga instructor told my wife that I broke her heart back then. Help! — HEARTBREAKER DEAR HEARTBREAKER: You have gotten your life in order, and the yoga instructor appears to be doing well. That she’s 50 and in good enough shape to be teaching yoga says a lot for her flexibility. Clearly, neither you nor your old high school classmate has been trying to slip anything past your wife. If she really feels threatened because of your long-past relationship with her teacher, she should roll up her mat and find another class.

DEAR ABBY: We have a lovely granddaughter who is about to be married to an excellent young man.

She is sweet, kind, smart, hardworking, just out of college and everything you would want in a granddaughter. However, we are deeply concerned about her wedding, which will have a Wiccan theme, and they are both planning to change to a last name with Wiccan significance.

Although I’m not positive, I’m pretty sure she doesn’t actually follow this religion, but rather regards it as an entertaining idea. As a Christian, I’m uncomfortable with the theme. Our only choices are to go and make the best of it, or to stay home and have everyone think we are narrow-minded old fud-

dy-duddies. What should we do? — CHALLENGED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CHALLENGED: I’m glad you asked. Go, make the best of it, and refrain from making judgments about your lovely, high-achieving granddaughter’s decision about her wedding.

Her choice of wedding theme may or may not be a lark. However, if it isn’t, Wicca is a peaceful religion. Wiccans do not practice black magic. She will still be the same lovely girl after the wedding as she was before.

DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law didn’t get me a card or even wish me Happy Mother’s Day on my very first one. We got together to celebrate, so I don’t think she forgot. I thought we had a pretty good relationship, but now I’m not so sure.

Is there a nice way to ask her why she didn’t get me a card or even say, “Happy Mother’s Day”? I’d like to be able to apologize if she’s harboring a grudge for some reason. — NEW MOM IN TENNESSEE DEAR NEW MOM: Sometimes it’s not what you say, but the way you say it that can create tension. I suggest that when you approach your MIL about this, you do it with a smile and say, “I was surprised when you didn’t wish me a Happy Mother’s Day. Why was that?” Then LISTEN.

Grandmother killed, grandsons injured in crash LENOX — The crash of a utility vehicle and a pickup truck has killed a 60-year-old grandmother and injured her two grandsons Monday night in a pickup truck-utility vehicle crash in southwest Iowa.

The crash occurred around 6:50 p.m.

Monday east of Lenox in northwest Taylor County. The Iowa State Patrol says Denise Smith, of Lenox and a passenger in the four-wheeled utility vehicle, were killed in the crash. Her grandsons, ages 10 and 9, both of Prescott, Iowa, were seriously injured.

2 Jury deliberates case of woman accused of killing mate AMES — Authorities say a jury will resume deliberations Wednesday on the fate of an Ames woman accused of killing her husband.

3 Lawsuit filed over switch to privately run Medicaid

DES MOINES — A new lawsuit says Iowa’s privately run Medicaid program is violating federal laws and a U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring that disabled Americans have a right to live as independently as possible. The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday by six Iowans named Gov. Kim Reynolds and the state Human Services Department director. It says the companies running Iowa’s Medicaid program have “engaged in a pattern and practice” of cutting payments to care providers without regard to whether those cuts ultimately will reduce services that people with disabilities rely on.

Road worker killed in southern Iowa, authorities say CHARITON — Authorities say a road construction worker has been killed in southern Iowa.

The accident occurred Tuesday in northern Lucas County. The Iowa State Patrol says a motorist didn’t see 48-yearold Barbarella Moore, who was preparing to flag vehicles while another worker cut concrete.

Moore was pronounced dead at the scene. She lived in Waterloo.

The motorist was identified as 32-yearold Brady Rasmus, who lives in Chariton.

Des Moines’ sales restrictions

DES MOINES — An Alabama-based company is seeking to block Des Moines from enforcing strict rules limiting the sale of fireworks to industrial zones in the city. American Promotional Events, which bills itself as the nation’s largest distributor of consumer fireworks, filed the petition Monday in Polk County District Court. It seeks an injunction stopping Des Moines from enforcing its ordinance.

Homdahl Park gets new playground

Governor plans revenue shortfall fix without special session DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Kim Reynolds says she hopes to cover a state budget shortfall by pulling $50 million from the state’s economic emergency fund avoiding the need to call lawmakers back in a special session to make spending cuts.

Two weeks ago revenues remained $97

million behind projections. Reynolds says the shortfall has shrunk but it’s difficult to tell where it will be in September when the state closes its fiscal year books.

At her weekly news conference Tuesday she said she can transfer funds for a shortfall under $50 million.

Lawmakers cut $118

million from the budget in January then borrowed $131 million from cash reserves.

Reynolds blamed a slow farm economy and increased online purchases for which Iowans pay no sales tax.

House Democratic leader Mark Smith blamed Republican-led corporate tax cuts.

AMES (AP) — Iowa State University has sold its former president’s airplane for $48,000 less than it spent to buy the four-seater in 2014.

The university said Tuesday that it sold the Cirrus that former President Steven Leath often piloted for official and personal business for

$450,000.

ISU previously said it used donations to obtain the airplane for an “exceptional price” of $498,000 in 2014. Leath pledged to sell the aircraft last December after a Board of Regents audit questioned dozens of flights he took for training. He had already

stopped piloting himself following revelations that he had damaged the plane’s wings in a hard landing in 2015 while returning from vacation.

Leath, who recently left to become the president of Auburn University, predicted then that the sale would turn a profit.

Baby peregrine falcon Grassley receives commitment atop Iowa courthouse to work on implementation of ‘tweener’ hospitals program gets leg bands DUBUQUE (AP) — A peregrine falcon chick has received identification bands as part of a raptor monitoring program in eastern Iowa.

David Kester, a field researcher with the nonprofit Raptor Resource Project, climbed atop the Dubuque County Courthouse to attach the metal bands, which allow researchers to track raptors’ survival rates, migration distance and population growth, The Telegraph Herald reported.

The female chick, which

hatched May 31, looked to be in perfect health, Kester said. It was the first successful hatching for the falcon pair that live on the courthouse’s sixth-floor ledge.

The birds are one of only 19 known nesting pairs in the state, said Pat Schlarbaum, a retired wildlife diversity program technician with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

The Iowa Peregrine Falcon Recovery Program reintroduced 40 falcons to the Dubuque area in 1999 and 2000.

Are You Unhappy With How Your

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Chuck Grassley has received a commitment from Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price to work on implementation of an extension of a Medicare payment designation program that is critical to small, often rural hospitals. The “tweener” program is critical to hospitals in Grinnell, Carroll, Newton and Spirit Lake and the patients they serve.

“This gap in implementation is inconsistent with congressional intent, which requires a seamless extension of this critical program,” Grassley told Price

at a Finance Committee hearing.

“Furthermore, it is inconsistent with the way the agency implemented the first five-year extension of this program.”

Price responded, “We have a commitment to it and it’s so incredibly important for rural areas and we’ll get back with you and look forward to working with you on it.”

Congress extended the tweener program last December, intending the extension to continue without interruption for the affected hospitals. However, the federal agencies involved interpreted the extension to in-

clude gaps, causing some of the affected hospitals to lose funding that Congress intended them to have.

Grassley sent a bipartisan letter last month to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, outlining concerns about the delays.

The tweener hospitals in Iowa are St. Anthony Regional Hospital in Carroll, Grinnell Regional Medical Center in Grinnell, Skiff Medical Center in Newton and Lakes Regional Healthcare in Spirit Lake.

Newton Daily News The Newton Municipal Band will honor former 50+ year member and long-time director of the band, Leland L. Cook, when it takes to the stage for its second concert of the season.

The concert will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday at Maytag Bowl in Maytag Park. The concert is part of the Newton

Parks and Recreation Summer Concerts in the Park Series.

C o o k turned 100 years old this past spring.

In addition to Cook being a band director in the Newton Schools, he directed

the Newton Municipal Band for many years. He was also a mainstay of the clarinet section well into his 80s. He currently resides at Park Centre and enjoys hearing from his friends. In honor of his service and many contributions to the band, the upcoming concert is dedicated to him.

Dan Stecker, band director at Pleasantville High School, will step out of the trumpet

section and onto the podium to direct the evening’s concert. He has chosen a variety of marches and other musical styles, sure to keep everyone’s toes tapping. Pieces will include “John Williams Swings!” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Hosts of Freedom,” “Pentland Hills Concert March,” “On Wings of Eagles Concert March,” “Three Ayres from Gloucester” and

“On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss.” The band is pleased to have Linda Erickson serving as Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

The band invites you to bring lawn chairs or blankets and come to the park Thursday evening. Bring a picnic supper if you wish. The park is the perfect setting to enjoy the music, as the band salutes centenarian musician, Leland Cook.

Sacred Heart to celebrate 40th anniversary of church dedication Newton Daily News Bishop Martin J. Amos of the Diocese of Davenport will preside at a special Mass on Monday, celebrating the 40th Anniversary Dedication of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Newton.

The Mass will be held at 6 p.m. at Sacred Heart with a potluck dinner immediately following in McCann Center.

On March 28, 1975, the first spade of earth was turned at the formal groundbreaking of what would become the new church — connected to the north side of McCann Center, which was built in 1969 and named in honor of Monsignor Thomas J. McCann, who served as pastor at Sacred Heart in Newton from 1910-1960.

Heart Church — the fourth Catholic Church location in Newton — was formally dedicated on June 19, 1977, with Bishop Gerald F. O’ Keefe presiding during a special Mass and ceremony.

The new church opened for worship in 1976, while the final stages of construction were being completed. Willis Schellberg of Architectural Design Group, Forest City, served as lead architect. Francis Peters Construction of Newton

served as general contractor for the project.

The construction cost for the new church was nearly $400,000 — excluding pews, altar and its furnishings, carpet or faceted windows.

Holy Trinity plans for 60th anniversary Plans are taking shape for Holy Trinity Lutheran Church’s 60th Anniversary celebration.

It was June 1, 1957, when Pastor Carl Berhenke began a field survey of the area of Newton where the church building now stands at 1409 S. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton. The first worship service was conducted in the Aurora Heights School gym Aug. 4, 1957. The first constitution was adopted, and the first Church Council elected Jan. 14, 1958. The congregation was received into the Iowa Synod of the Lutheran Church in America May 10, 1958.

Ten couples were selected from the membership at First Lutheran Church, Newton, to help start the new congregation.

The Lutheran Church in America started a second church, because it was felt Newton would double in size. Both churches are now members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The celebration will begin on

Aug. 5, with a 5 p.m. informal worship using “Holden Evening Prayer.” Worshipers are invited to gather at 4 p.m. at the Newton Arboretum and Botanical Center, 3000 N. Fourth Ave., E. in Newton. Supper will be served following the worship service.

On Aug. 6, will be the grand celebration worship at 10:30 a.m. Former Pastor Steve Pannkuk will bring the message, and former organist Tom Netzel will provide the music for the service.

A catered meal will follow. Reservations are requested for the two meals being offered.

Holy Trinity’s Anniversary Committee has selected as the theme for the event: “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms’ from the hymn by the same name.

The Rev. Dr. Ken Ahntholz, pastor of Holy Trinity, said, “The theme captures the nature of the life and ministry of Holy Trinity during our developing times, our difficult times, our joyful times, and our present time, as we cel-

ebrate and as we live into God’s plan for Holy Trinity’s future life and ministry. People who have, and or are, leaning with us on the ‘everlasting arms’ will find the celebration more joyful if you join us for the 60th Anniversary celebration.”

Some of Holy Trinity’s early members were invited to reminisce about the “early days” during a luncheon held several months ago. The video will be available for viewing, as well as a display of pictures telling the congregation’s history.

The Anniversary Committee hopes many of the congregation’s former members will take part in the worship and lunch. People may call their reservation for the meals for Saturday and Sunday to Holy Trinity 641-792-1683, or email their information to pastor@htlchurch.com or to 1409 South Eighth Avenue, East, Newton 50208. If no one is available at the church to take your call, please leave a message.

As the Jasper County Fair Queen, I want to give back to my community by putting others’ needs before my own. I will do everything it takes to serve my county and be a great role model. The county fair has had a great impact on me and I would like to do the same for others.

Bridget M. Carson

My name is Bridget M. Carson of Newton. I am 19 years old. I am the daughter of Jennifer and Greg Carson.

I am a member of the Newton Carson FFA chapter and attend DMACC. I hold an Iowa FFA degree. If crowned queen I would be honored to represent Jasper County and lead by example for all the younger showmen.

I would be honored to have little girls look up to me just like I looked up to the fair queens and princesses when I was younger. I enjoy spending time

with my friends and family, hanging out by the pool, reading, as well as showing pigs throughout the summer.

Logan Chandler

Logan Chandler, 17, is the daughter of Jerry and Natalie Chandler of Newton. She will be a senior at Newton Senior High School.

She is a very active, a three-year member of the Newton FFA chapter and serves as the chapter’s treasurer.

It would be an Wolfe honor to serve as the 2017-18 Jasper County Fair Queen or Princess so I can spread my love for animals and share that love with others, as well as give my opinions on fair topics. I’ve assisted my older siblings such as my sister and brother with their Supervise Agricultural Experience and getting animals ready to show. One example of my assistance is washing broilers and getting them ready for the state fair where we got overall herdsmanship and purple ribbons. I’ve also shown birds and rabbits at the Iowa State Fair, and I won showmanship for my chapter. I also won herdsmanship for both.

I want to represent Jasper County to show that even if you lose but set your mind to it, you can succeed and have lots of fun doing so.

I attend PCM High School where I am involved with FFA, softball, volleyball, golf, track, national honor society, Big Student Little Student, choir and show choir. I want to be Jasper County Fair Queen because I want to represent my Wood county and the agriculture in it. The fair represents so many things.

It’s not just showing animals and living on a farm. There is something for everyone. It is a great family atmosphere.

I love agriculture and I remember so many good things growing up at the fair. I think all kids and adults should experience the same magic that made me fall in love with my county and all the agriculture in it!

FLAG

DAY June 14 2017

The

History

Of Flag Day

The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America’s birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as ‘Flag Birthday’. In numerous magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as ‘Flag Birthday’, or ‘Flag Day’.

In 1894, the governor of New York directed that on June 14 the Flag be displayed on all public buildings.

With BJ Cigrand and Leroy Van Horn as the moving spirits, the Illinois organization, known as the American Flag Day Association, was organized for the purpose of promoting the holding of Flag Day exercises. On June 14th, 1894, under the auspices of this association, the first general public school children’s celebration of the Flag Day in Chicago was held in Douglas, Garfield, Humboldt, Lincoln, and Washington Parks, with more than 300,000 children participating.

The idea of a Flag Day Service was first suggested to our Order by the then Grand Exalted Ruler at the 1907 Grand Lodge Session in Philadelphia. Of the dates submitted for consideration at the time, June 14th was adopted by the session and was called “Elks Flag Day. The following year, in Dallas, the Grand Lodge approved a ritual for the Flag Day ceremony. The 1911 Grand Lodge session at Atlantic City made the observance of Flag Day mandatory for Subordinate Lodges by the adoption of Section 229 of the Statutes: It shall be the duty of each Subordinate Lodge to hold the service known as “Flag Day Services” at the time and in the manner prescribed by the ritual of the Order.

Franklin K. Land, Secretary of the Interior, Delivered a 1914 Flag Day address in which he repeated words he said the flag had spoken to him that morning: “I am what you make me; nothing more. I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself.”

Inspired by these three decades of state and local celebrations, Flag Day - the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 - was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson’s proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman, himself as a member of the Elks, signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day. The Elks were the first fraternal organization to celebrate Flag Day, and made this ceremony mandatory years before the date on which the observance a nation-wide practice by legal decree.

Seniors lead ranked Raiders to win over R-S

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Mikayla Eslinger rounds second base after hitting a two-run home run in the fourth inning against Roland-Story on Tuesday in Collins. Eslinger hit a pair of two-run homers to help lead the Class 2A No. 7 Raiders to a 7-1 victory.

COLLINS — On a night when they were honored before the game, two Collins-Maxwell/Baxter seniors powered the Class 2A No. 7 Raiders to a Heart of Iowa Conference victory over Roland-Story.

Mikayla Eslinger hit a pair of two-run home runs at the plate, and Abbey Kahler allowed just three hits and struck out eight in the circle on Senior Night as the Raiders downed the Lady Norse, 7-1, on Tuesday.

Roland-Story scored first, but the Raiders plated four runs in the fourth to grab a lead they wouldn’t surrender.

Eslinger blasted a two-run home run in the fourth and then ended the scoring with another two-run blast in the bottom of the sixth as CMB improved to 10-1 in conference play.

“I got inside pitches tonight. That’s something that I have been working on a lot lately with my teammates,” said Eslinger, who now has four home runs on the season.

“We just seem to feed off what each other does at the plate.

We all had a good hitting night tonight.”

The victory for the Raiders (15-4) keeps them on top of the HOIC standings.

Class 3A No. 11 Prairie City-Monroe is tied with CMB in the loss column at 8-1 in conference play.

“Our girls are starting to hit it and hit it hard,” CMB coach Troy Houge said. “I can’t complain about where we are at, and if both of my pitchers are throwing well, that makes a huge difference, too.”

Kahler threw well Tuesday against a Roland-Story offense which came into the game averaging 5.5 runs per game.

Newton’s Langmaid to compete in junior high nationals rodeo

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Gaige Langmaid started rodeo one and a half years ago. But the 14-yearold soon-to-be Baxter Bolt hopes to be doing the sport for several more years.

Langmaid recently found success at the state finals rodeo in Marshalltown and will now take part in the junior high nationals rodeo in Tennessee starting this weekend.

Langmaid will compete in bull riding, bareback riding and saddle bronc riding at the junior high nationals rodeo.

He was the reserve champion (runner-up) at the state finals in both bull riding and bareback riding and placed third in saddle bronc riding.

The top four finishers in each event in each state advances to the national finals rodeo, which takes place in Lebanon, Tennessee, starting Saturday.

“It’s been a cool experience for him and me,” said Ryan Langmaid, Gaige’s father. “He wants to focus on this now. He wants to earn a college rodeo scholarship and eventually do this professionally.”

Ryan Langmaid rode bulls when he was younger. Back then, they didn’t have the junior high nationals rodeo to compete in.

His youngest son Gaige hasn’t been doing it too long, but he found immediate success.

To qualify for nationals, athletes compete on four weekends in the fall and four more in the spring. The points add up in each event throughout the season and the top four point finishers advance.

LANGMAID | 2B

Kahler, who transferred in from Ballard before her sophomore season, surrendered the only R-S run of the game in the first inning.

Freshman Juliann Clark reached on an error to begin the game. She went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Susie Weaver and then scored when Hailey Louw laced an RBI double down the left-field line.

After that, Kahler allowed just a walk until the seventh inning. She got out of a jam in the seventh after ending the game with a ground ball to third base.

“I don’t think I was mentally prepared to start the game,” Kahler said. “I was thinking about some other stuff, but I was able to relax eventually and got my head in the game.

I think after a few innings, I was able to get going.”

Kahler improved to 5-4 on the season, dropped her season earned run average to 2.12 and now has 77 strikeouts and just nine walks this summer.

“She settled in and looked really good,” Houge said.

“She’s had her ups and downs this year, but she’s been really good lately. Her record doesn’t show it, but she’s not giving up that many hits and is getting a lot of strikeouts. She took care of business and showed tremendous poise tonight.”

Freshman Mikayla Houge had two hits and scored twice at the plate. She improved her team-best average to .481.

Kahler and junior Katie Camp each walked twice, and Kahler’s courtesy runner, Abby Husak, scored two runs as she was on base when Eslinger hit both home runs.

Freshman Holly Jessen recorded one walk and one single.

Hawk teams drop close contests with West Marshall

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Two heartbreaking non-conference losses at home for Lynnville-Sully’s baseball and softball teams came on Tuesday against visiting West Marshall.

West Marshall’s softball team came to Sully undefeated and ranked No 14 in Class 3A. Lynnville-Sully’s softball squad carried the No. 9 ranking in 1A but had four losses.

The Hawk girls and Trojan girls battled through four scoreless innings.

The Trojans scored a run in the fifth, but the Hawks answered with two runs in their half of the inning.

Each team plated a single run in the sixth inning. Lynnville-Sully was up 3-2 on West Marshall going into the seventh frame.

The Trojans broke through to score three runs, taking a 5-3 lead. The Hawks got a run in the bottom of the final inning before West Marshall halted the rally.

Mallory Loftus started and worked 5 2/3 innings against West Marshall. She gave up two runs on two hits and one

walk and struck out three.

Carson Fisk came on in relief in the sixth and took the loss.

Fisk pitched 1 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on two hits and striking out three.

Fisk led the Hawk offense, going 3-for-4 with three base hits and scored two runs. Loftus singled and doubled and Shiloh Cunningham had a single and a triple.

McKinley Conover and Janelle Rozendaal each had a base hit. Conover, Brenna Lanser, Caitlin Alberts and Korrine Jansen drove in a run apiece.

Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team clawed back from a 7-0 deficit against 2A West Marshall (12-3). The Hawks scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. They added a run in the seventh and had two runners on with one out, but the Trojans notched two

strikeouts for a 7-6 win.

The Trojans had a four-run third inning highlighted by a two-run home run by Cody Mead.

A Lynnville-Sully error opened the door for the Trojans in the inning. West Marshall used three singles and a ground-rule double to plate three runs in the top of the fifth inning.

Lynnville-Sully took advantage of several miscues and pitching control problems by the Trojans in the fifth. Corbin James led off with a base-onballs and Josh Dunsbergen reached on a dropped third strike and Caden Dunsbergen was hit by a pitch.

The Trojans committed three errors in the inning and two more walks issued helped Lynnville-Sully to score five runs. In the seventh inning, Tyler Van Zante hit a one-out

Raiders Continued from Page 1B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Abbey Kahler allowed one unearned run on three hits and had eight strikeouts during the Raiders’ 7-1 win over Roland-Story on Tuesday. Kahler also walked twice at the plate to help Class 2A No. 7 CMB improve to 10-1 in conference play.

Eslinger has hit three of her four home runs this season against Roland-Story. It was her two-run home run against the Norse in Roland that led the Raiders to a 3-1 road win on May 26. She also homered against the Lady Norse last season.

“It seems like it’s gone really fast.

There are still a lot of games left though,” Eslinger said about Senior Night. “We had an early Senior Night this year. It seems like everything is being pushed really fast, but I think we will make the best of what we have left.”

The Raiders had an early Senior Night because CMB doesn’t have very many home games left, and Coach Houge will not have two seniors for a week starting Wednesday.

Senior starters Veronica Condon and Heather Jessen are taking part in a

base hit and moved to second on a wild pitch.

Bray Noun Harder reached on another Trojan error allowing Van Zante to score.

Rylan James singled then the Hawks’ next two batters struck out.

Van Zante was the losing pitcher for the Hawks. He worked six innings and gave up seven runs on nine hits and two walks and he struck out seven. Blaize Kuhlmann pitched one inning of no-hit, scoreless baseball. He issued two walks and struck out one.

Hitting a single each for Lynnville-Sully were Elijah Collins, Van Zante, Noun Harder and Ryan James.

Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team is 8-5 overall. The Lynnville-Sully softball team is 11-5 overall. Both Hawk squads are 7-2 in South Iowa Cedar League play.

Lynnville-Sully’s teams are on the road Wednesday in SICL action.

The Hawks play in 5 p.m. games against host English Valleys at North English.

school trip to Italy through the middle of next week, and then Coach Houge won’t have senior Megan Ritter and junior Jordynn Wesselink in the final week of the regular season because of the annual Baxter mission’s trip.

“We just have to have some girls step up. We can mix and match some girls. I think we’ll be able to figure something out,” Houge said. “We had to do this last year. I think we’ll get through it.

“There are a lot of games left, and we’ll take them one at a time. If we take care of what we do, we’ll be fine. If we don’t, and we get out of what we do well, we probably won’t win the conference title. It’s not complicated. It’s not going to be easy though.”

The Raiders play Greene County in a HOIC game at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Jefferson.

Happ hits slam as Cubs rout Mets NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Maddon had a big idea to turn around his slumping Chicago Cubs.

How big? About 240 pounds, right at the top of the batting order.

Anthony Rizzo began the game with a long home run after a surprising move to the leadoff spot, rookie Ian Happ hit his first career grand slam and the Cubs trounced the New York Mets 14-3 on Tuesday night.

Backed by a season-best seven-run second inning, the World Series champs snapped a nine-game skid on the road and moved back to .500 through 64 games.

The Cubs had lost five of six overall.

Jon Lester (4-4) earned his 150th win and matched a season high with 10 strikeouts.

He allowed a run and five hits in seven innings.

Rizzo, batting leadoff for the first time in his career, had two hits, three RBIs and a bases-loaded walk. He’s reached safely in 21 of his last 36 plate appearances.

Rizzo got the Cubs rolling with a 462-foot shot to center field off Zack Wheeler (3-4).

Chicago then batted around in the second, and the biggest blow came when Happ went the opposite way with the bases loaded for his sixth homer.

Every starter for the Cubs had at least one hit by the fourth inning.

Jason Heyward, Kris Bryant and Javier Baez also went deep for Chicago, which matched a season high for runs and had 15 hits.

and you’ve learned to anticipate the mellow follow-up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You continue to be in high demand. Don’t automatically accept other people’s timetables as your own. Take control of your schedule and your attention. Consider changing the notification settings on your phone.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’d like to believe you are in control of your opinion of yourself, but unhealthy relationships do have a way of eroding self-esteem, and healthy ones have the opposite effect. How is a relationship helping or hurting you?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Whenever you feel impatient, the fundamental problem is an

internal one, namely a belief that the world needs to operate differently to accommodate you. You’ll love what happens when you stay measured and calm instead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

No moment is inherently more perfect than another, though certainly there are moments that are more memorable and/or personally satisfying to a particular ego. Just don’t expect such things to be universal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll be called to a role or responsibility. Your service to the group comes with some tedium, but the work will go by quickly. Besides, it’s better than the alternative: being left out of things.

SM-NE8144035-0616

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your heart will soften, and you’ll feel more for the whole world, not just for the main object of your affection. The love you give will in turn make you more lovable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

From the outsider view a lot of what you’ll do today won’t make sense, but you know perfectly why it has to happen the way it does. You’ll teach someone, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You and your group are in it together. Keep up the good communication and you’ll be able to rely on each other to do what no individual could do alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The answer to a business problem will be found in another business entirely. The secrets to solving a mystery in your own life will be present in someone else’s life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll find the behavior of loved ones to be less than optimum. The frustration comes when you think you can control this. You can’t, but as you learn to skillfully modify your reactions, things will change.
