Colfax grad killed in single-vehicle accident Newton Daily News A graduate of Colfax-Mingo High School has died in a single-vehicle accident. Emilie Anderson, of Colfax, was injured in an accident on Tuesday. According to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, she later died from her injuries at a Des Moines-area hospital.

Officers were called to the single-car accident around 5:44 p.m. in the 2200 block of South 24th Avenue West outside of Newton.

Officers found Anderson, who was transported to a Des Moines-area hospital by Mercy Helicopter. She later died from injuries sustained from the crash.

The accident remains under investigation.

The sheriff ’s office did not indicate in the initial report if anyone else was in the car with Anderson at the time of the crash or what caused the driver to lose control. The Polk County Medical Examiner’s Office will also assist in the investigation.

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, the Newton Police Department, Iowa State Patrol and Newton Fire and EMS also responded to the accident. Barney’s Towing was called to remove the vehicle.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Architects from Walker, Coen, Lorentzen Architects, Inc. will work to create a more detailed architectural study on Hotel Maytag to further the project’s changes of receiving crucial tax credits.

Architectural firm hired for Hotel Maytag project

NCSD to consider Developer Hatch says bid for new detailed architectural work softball field crucial for tax credits

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News

At next week’s regular meeting, the Newton Community School District Board will consider accepting a bid for the construction of a new softball field.

The bid of $660,000 comes from Koester Construction. FRK Architects and Engineers, which designed the new Berg Middle School, also designed the new softball field.

The field is set to be built on land already owned by the district near the intersection of West Sixth Street South and South 15th Avenue West. It will include dugouts, a batting cage, fencing and storage.

In May, FRK estimated the cost of the project would be about $831,000. Construction is slated to begin in early July, and it should be completed by November if it goes according to schedule.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To take advantage of potential State Historic Tax Credits for the Hotel Maytag project, Walker, Coen, Lorentzen Architects, Inc. were hired by the city to perform a detailed architectural study of the building. Newton City Council approved the architectural firm services for $190,000 at Monday’s meeting at the request of “preferred developer” the Hatch Development Group.

“After the last three and a half weeks, our team has been here five times, going through the hotel in more detail. This request is being made because of the absolute necessity to secure a position for tax credits on a reservation allocation list

with the state,” Hatch Development Group Principal Jack Hatch said.

The Hatch team has identified the need to move forward with more detailed architectural work in order to Hatch have the best chance to secure more than $4 million in State and Federal Historic Tax Credits for the project. The tax credit programs are subject to potential budgetary cuts in upcoming years, so submitting during the October 2017 reservation time frame maximizes the opportunity to receive these credits Hatch said.

“It is very intense and our team

of Matt Coen and Andy Lorentzen from our architectural firm have secured these tax credits through the reservation by a very thorough presentation,” Hatch said.

The contract will have the firm follow the standard American Institute of Architects form. The work will be used for a July submission to the State Historic Preservation Office.

A three-step process is used to issue the Historic Tax Credits at the state and federal levels. The first step is to establish the historical significance and eligibility of the building.

This step has been completed for the Hotel Maytag.

The second step is to complete a detailed set of plans that describe the condition of the building and the proposed scope of rehabilitation work city administrator Matt Muckler said. The state reviews these Part 2 plans against the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and commits tax credits for approved projects.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Friday, June 23, the 174th day of 2017. There are 191 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 23, 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson, Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin (ah-LEK’-say koh-SEE’-gihn) and their advisers opened a three-day summit at Glassboro State College in New Jersey. The U.S. Senate voted 92-5 to censure Democrat Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut for diverting campaign money to his personal use.

On this date: In 1892, the Democratic national convention in Chicago nominated former President Grover Cleveland on the first ballot.

In 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for a second term of office at the Republican national convention in Chicago.

In 1931, aviators Wiley Post and Harold Gatty took off from New York on a roundthe-world flight that lasted eight days and 15 hours.

In 1947, the Senate joined the House in overriding President Harry S. Truman’s veto of the Taft-Hartley Act, designed to limit the power of organized labor.

In 1969, Warren E. Burger was sworn in as chief justice of the United States by the man he was succeeding, Earl Warren.

In 1972, President Richard Nixon and White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman discussed using the CIA to obstruct the FBI’s Watergate investigation. (Revelation of the tape recording of this conversation sparked Nixon’s resignation in 1974.) President Nixon signed Title IX barring discrimination on the basis of sex for “any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

In 1985, all 329 people aboard an Air India Boeing 747 were killed when the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Ireland because of a bomb authorities believe was planted by Sikh separatists.

Ten years ago: Roadside bombers in Iraq killed seven U.S. troops, four of them in a single blast near Baghdad. Searchers in Summit County, Ohio, found the body of Jessie Davis, a missing 26-year-old pregnant woman, in a park. (Bobby Cutts Jr., a former Canton police officer who was the father of Davis’ unborn child, was later convicted of murder and aggravated murder and sentenced to 57 years to life in prison.)

Five years ago: Syria and Turkey desperately sought to ease tensions following an incident in which Syria shot down a Turkish reconnaissance plane, saying the plane had entered its airspace. Ashton Eaton broke the world record in the decathlon, finishing with 9,039 points at the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon. (Eaton later surpassed his own record with 9,045 points at the 2015 Beijing world championships.)

One year ago: Britain voted to leave the European Union after a bitterly divisive referendum campaign, toppling Prime Minister David Cameron, who had led the campaign to keep Britain in the EU. A short-handed and deeply divided Supreme Court deadlocked 4-4 on President Barack Obama’s immigration plan to help millions living in the U.S. illegally, effectively killing it.

Today’s Birthdays Singer Diana Trask is 77. Musical conductor James Levine is 74. Actor Ted Shackelford is 71. Actor Bryan Brown is 70. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is 69. Actor Jim Metzler is 66. “American Idol” ex-judge Randy Jackson is 61.

That’s Odd Genoa makes special airport waiver for famed pesto sauce ROME (AP) — The Italian port city of Genoa has taken pride in its famed pesto sauce to new heights by granting special airport waivers for those who can’t get enough of the basil and pine nut pasta sauce.

Genoa’s airport is letting travelers take as much as 500 grams of pesto in their carry-on luggage, exempting them from the 100-milliliter rule for liquids in carry-on baggage. The catch: Passengers must make a donation of 50 cents or more to a charity that airlifts sick children to hospitals.

The airport said in a statement this week that some 500 euros had been raised in the first 20 days of the initiative, which was inspired by the anguish of having to confiscate so many jars of pesto from foodies trying to get them through security.

Entertainment Ron Howard takes helm of Han Solo ‘Star Wars’ film NEW YORK (AP) — Ron Howard is taking command of the Han Solo “Star Wars” spinoff after the surprise departure of directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

Lucasfilm announced their replacement director Thursday, two days after Lord and Miller left the project over creative differences. Howard gives the reeling production a veteran hand in the wake of Lord and Miller’s exit in the midst of shooting.

Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, said filming will resume July 10. The untitled film, which stars Alden Ehrenreich as a young Han Solo, is about three-quarters of the way through production. It has several weeks of shooting left, along with reshoots.

Howard has shepherded Oscar winners like “A Beautiful Mind” and “Apollo 13.” But his recent films, including the “Da Vinci Code” sequel “In-

Disney reiterated the film’s release date of May 25 next year, suggesting that — at least for now — the “Star Wars” spinoff will be released on schedule. Representatives for the studio declined to comment.

How producers and the Directors Guild of

America handle the film’s directing credit will also be closely watched. DGA rules govern the crediting of directors.

Lord and Miller had previously been considered among Hollywood’s most sought-after directors, having turned “The Lego Movie” and “21 Jump Street” into unexpected and widely praised comedy hits. But reports have circulated that the duo, who favor improvisation and irreverent humor, clashed with Kennedy and co-writer Lawrence Kasdan, a “Star Wars” veteran and executive producer.

“Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliche is true,” the directors said earlier in a joint statement. “We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew.”

Still swinging big bats!

The children were divided into groups and then pressed buttons on their robot, which guided it from a honey bee hive to a 4-H clover on a lifesize chart.

“My hopes are that every kid has fun and that they learn something.

I think learning comes hand and hand with having fun,” Warrick said.

Warrick has been leading summer day camps for 10 years in Jasper County.

An Oskaloosa man is accused of selling illegal drugs following a vehicle and home search by the Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force Monday.

Zackary A. Wallace, 23, was arrested at 12:45 a.m. after Oskaloosa police conducted a search warrant on Wallace’s vehicle and residence located at 807 North H Street Apartment 1.

Illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia were seized and Wallace was transported to the Mahaska County Jail.

Wallace faces charges of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, a class D felony and failure to affix a drug tax stamp, a class D felony.

The Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force is based in Des Moines and currently has 21 central Iowa local, county, state and federal agencies participating in the task force, including Jasper County.

Hotel Maytag Continued from Page 1A The final step happens only after the project is completed. It certifies that the rehabilitation work was constructed as proposed in the plans.

After completion of Part 3, the project would receive the Historic Tax Credits. These amount to 45 percent of the eligible project expenses which for Hotel Maytag, are projected to be $4.7 million.

Funds that have been bonded to support the Hotel Maytag project will be used to finance the study along with additional North Central TIF District resources. The study would be property of the city, should a final development agreement not come to fruition with the Hatch Development Group.

“The expenditure is needed towards this project in any scenario. Even if we are not able to reach a final development agreement with the Hatch Development Group, the city would own these detailed architectural plans that would be transferable and usable as a valuable asset for any developer,” Newton Economic Development Director Bryan Friedman said. “It is a worthwhile expenditure to try to capitalize on the upcoming funding window and keep furthering our efforts with this project.”

While a development proposal is still in the works, Hatch is confident the two parties will finalize an agreement prior to the August deadline.

“We truly understand the gem that you have and it is one that excites us,” Hatch said.

Should you buy stainless steel appliances?

SPONSORED BY Kathy Macy

By Diane Krieger Spivak Whether you’re tired of looking at your decades-old kitchen appliances, or decided to upgrade your kitchen for a move, which finish should you choose that will not go out of style in a year or two?

According to home decorating and real estate experts, you can’t go wrong with stainless steel. It’s actually increased in popularity over the last five years and is still going strong, according to Consumer Reports. Stainless steel is stylish and blends well with most any decor.

And, it’s important to note that you don’t have to go with professional grade appliances that can set you back thousands of dollars. In fact, even if you’re not planning to move right now, going “over the top” with expensive appliances is a big mistake because you won’t recoup your investment when you do sell, according to HGTV.

Corrections: The Newton Daily News strives for fairness and accuracy. Errors in our news articles will be corrected on this page.

Readers who believe the newspaper has erred may request a correction by contacting Editor Abigail Pelzer at 641-792-3121, Ext. 6530, or by email at apelzer@newtondailynews.com.

If buying all new appliances is not an option, you can still update your kitchen with the look of stainless steel by covering your existing appliances with stainless steel peel-and-stick sheets.

If you do opt for the real thing, however, stainless steel is often available in a matte, brushed or mirror finish. There is even a new finish called black stainless steel. Mirror finish shows fingerprints while the others do not. However, cleaning stainless is not difficult, even appliances with that shiny, mirror-like finish.

Simply use a soft, clean cloth dipped in warm water and a mild dish detergent. Wipe, rinse and wipe again, then towel dry, advises Consumer Reports. If necessary, use a spray glass cleaner for fingerprints. Remove bakedon grease with a paste of baking soda and warm water, rubbing with a soft cloth or sponge. Wipe with a wet cloth and towel dry.

A show that’s worth watching I

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | June 23, 2017

So Anyway Dana King

’m sure we can all agree there is a lot of programming on television that benefits no one. It’s hard to understand how they can even label some of the shows “entertainment.”

I’ve stumbled across a few that literally make my jaw drop. Just to name a few ... “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” and “Hollywood Hillbillies.” I’ll leave it at that.

It’s no secret, I’m an huge PBS fan.

My Sunday evenings are 100 percent public television programming. I love me some historical drama and a good

mystery. I’m not pretending to be all uppity up when I say that. I just happen to love those series.

Then on the opposite end of the dial, I have many laugh-out-loud moments when I watch “Impractical Jokers.”

If you’re not familiar with this comedy, it’s simply four men putting each other in embarrassing situations. They mean no harm to anyone other than themselves and the circumstances they put each other in can’t help but put a smile on your face. Would I recommend it to anyone? No. In fact, I’m almost embarrassed to admit I watch it myself, but it caters to my ‘I just don’t

want to have to think about anything and watch something fun’ side.

However, there are a few shows on TV I would recommend to anyone ... everyone. One of those shows is “Born This Way.” This captivating show follows segments in the lives of seven young adults with Down syndrome. If you want a lesson in strength, love, character and courage, look no further. The cast is so inspirational.

We follow Steven, Megan, John, Sean, Cristina, Rachel and Elena as they begin to move towards independence. As Megan states in a video spreading awareness of inclusion, “don’t limit me.”

We also hear from the parents of the young men and women featured on the show. They are all forthcoming when talking about the joys, challeng-

es and victories of raising a child with intellectual and developmental disabilities — and their journeys continue as they try to encourage their sons and daughters to achieve their dreams in their adult lives.

The show is insightful, funny, heartwarming and educational. The characters struggle with the same issues as many 20 and 30 somethings — relationships, employment, hopes and dreams.

I have no doubt the about the challenges these families have faced raising families in an often unkind, even cruel society. But the people we see on this program are helping us understand education is not limited to just youngsters in a classroom. We can all learn something from watching “Born This Way.” Contact Dana King at dking@shawmedia.com

Unavoidable Truths Connie Schultz

Run, woman, run After Hillary Clinton lost the presidential race, there were a few days there when it looked as if a lot of women would be done with politics.

If we couldn’t elect the most qualified person ever to run for president, what was the point, right?

Being women, however, we quickly recalibrated.

Many in our ranks are doing something rather extraordinary, historically speaking.

They are considering a run for office.

“We’ve been inundated,” Debbie Walsh told me Wednesday. “In a good way.”

Walsh is director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, which sponsors a national network of campaign training, called Ready to Run, for female candidates and women who want to help them get elected.

Walsh said applications are up around the country for training, including at Rutgers. Normally, 150 or so sign up for a session. In March, CAWP had to change venues to accommodate 270 women — and still had to turn away some.

Emily’s List, which helps female candidates who support abortion rights, states on its website that more than 14,000 women have signed up to run since Election Day, and another 7,000 people have agreed to help them.

Those numbers aren’t the only thing that has changed since Election Day. “What I’m seeing this year are women who aren’t waiting to be asked,” Walsh said. “You know that line, ‘If we aren’t at the table, we’re on the menu’? Well, a lot of women feel they’re on the chopping block. What they care about is in jeopardy, and they’re not sitting on the sidelines anymore.”

Movements take time, and progress is incremental.

The looming question: How do we sustain this momentum?

Walsh says history is instructive. “No movement happens overnight. Civil rights, same-sex marriage, women’s suffrage — even the tea party took time. We must be in this for the long haul. This change in our country — despite what we saw in the last election — takes time. We cannot expect that this will turn on a dime, and we can take satisfaction in victories along the way.”

Patience, in other words — as focused as it is willful.

Also, we must support one another across generations. I implore more of my fellow baby boomers to step up and support the next generation of female leaders. I’m not suggesting we step aside; rather, I’m saying we should make room.

As I write this, I am looking through the windows at the trees we have planted in our backyard in recent years. One for each grandchild. I see them as extensions of these children we love. Clayton’s Callery pear.

Jackie’s serviceberry. Leo’s lilac. Milo’s Japanese maple.

Carolyn’s white pine. We just planted a wisteria for the granddaughter on her way.

All of these trees are as young and vulnerable as the children they honor, and I hover over them like a new parent. We never water our grass, but I regularly douse the roots of these trees. I may not live long enough to see their tops tickle the clouds, but it is enough to know that one day, somebody else will.

Already, the trees nurture other lives, as birds build nests in their branches and feast on the purple berries of our first granddaughter’s tree. Every winter, I stare at their bare branches and will them to survive. Every spring, I snap photos of the grandchildren standing next to their trees to track the growth of both, celebrating every inch of progress.

Had you told me in my ambitious 30s and 40s that I could take such joy in a handful of fledgling trees, I would have laughed you out of my way. Like so many women my age, I still possess plenty of ambition, but I have reached that point in life when one must decide how to parcel it out.

If our success is our only legacy, it dies with us. If, on the other hand, we channel some of our ambition into the future of others, the best parts of us will never die.

Isn’t that a glorious way to go?

Organization benefit veterans Freedom is not free. The men and women who fight for our freedom know this all too well.

In many cases, veterans will return home to find life has moved on while they have been doing the most honorable thing someone can do for our country. This means perhaps they cannot find jobs, support their families or sometimes even find the right health care.

That’s why organizations such as the American Legion, the VFW and AMVETS exist. They help our veterans with health care, education and financial needs. However, our local organizations also go above and beyond and fund things such as bus trips to the Des Moines Vietnam Veterans Memorial or people who will come in and speak about PTSD and suicide preven-

tion or help place flags at all Veterans graves in the cemeteries for Memorial Day. Becoming a member of any of these organizations is like joining one of the world’s largest families. Like a family, each of these organizations wants nothing but the best for their members. Yet, there are so many veterans (who are eligible for these groups) who don’t reach out to these associations. More often than not, they are not aware of them and what types of services they offer, do not know which association they are eligible to join or do not know how to contact these specific organizations. Here in Jasper County these organizations are an invaluable resource that veterans and their loved ones can go to for support, information and comradery.

If you are a veteran these organizations are available to you and your family. Joining and supporting these organizations is

not just beneficial to those who served but also to all who will serve in the future. To all those who have served, you have volunteered once for your country, but now I ask you to volunteer again for those who have made and will make the same sacrifices that you have made. Without people like you, these organizations would disappear, meaning everything they stand for would disappear along with them.

In Jasper County, there are six American Legion Posts located in Newton, Kellogg, Baxter, Prairie City, Colfax, Mingo, Newburg and Monroe; one VFW location in Newton and one AMVETS location in Colfax. If you cannot find the contact information for any of these locations, feel free to contact the local Veterans Affairs office in the County Annex building or call me at 641-7927993.

Serial father keeps chummy relationships with his exes DEAR ABBY: I recently met a 28-year-old father of three I’m interested in. He seems wonderful.

He’s a hard worker, takes care of his responsibilities and is an amazing father to his children. They’re all still very little, but they’re great kids.

The only thing that’s been on my mind lately is he has a lot of baggage. Those kids are from three different women. He gets along with all of them very well, to the point that they sometimes do stuff together with the children. They go out to places, or sometimes he invites them over to his place to swim in the pool.

I understand that he has to maintain a healthy relationship with his exes for the sake of the children, but I never thought it would be this “healthy.” I have never experienced something like this. I appreciate him being upfront about everything, but I can’t stop thinking about it. Am I overreacting? — THREE’S COMPANY DEAR THREE’S COMPANY: I don’t think so. While I admire the man’s devotion to his children — not to mention his skilled diplomatic ability — it does appear that he has a problem making a lasting commitment to a woman. Unless you would seriously consider joining this “harem,” I urge you to religiously practice contraception. If you would like children in the future, it would be better to approach it with someone who isn’t as marriage-phobic as this young man appears to be.

DEAR ABBY: I recently attended a wedding after which the bride chose not to adopt her husband’s last name. After the wedding we met them for din-

ner. When they strolled up to the restaurant to meet us, I happily exclaimed, “Oh, here come Mr. and Mrs. Smith!” after which I was quickly informed that I was wrong because the bride was keeping her maiden name.

Abby, even if a woman goes by her maiden name, is it so wrong to refer to her as “the Mrs.”? — STEPPED IN IT DEAR STEPPED: Your mistake was an innocent one. Now that you know this couple is sensitive about their individual identities, address them by their names (“Linda” and “Robert”) if you wish to maintain a social relationship.

DEAR ABBY: You and your mother have answered many sexual questions in your column over the years. Editors back in the ‘50s were more prudish about what could be published in family papers. Did your mother have to battle with dragons to print sexual questions from her readers? — SONNY IN ALABAMA DEAR SONNY: If she did, she didn’t mention it to me. While I agree that editors back then — and even now — tend to be conservative, if they disapprove of a letter, they are free not to print it.

to prison for having child porn

FORT MADISON — Authorities say a Missouri man has been killed in a fall at a construction site in southeast Iowa.

The accident occurred a little before 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in Fort Madison. Police say a witness reported that the man fell 20-25 feet from a wooden box that was being hoisted by a forklift. The man was taken to Fort Madison Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police identified the man as 45-yearold Brian Wood, who lived in Linn Creek, Missouri.

CEDAR RAPIDS — A Cedar Rapids man who received child pornography has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa says 51-year-old Donald Etheredge was sentenced Tuesday. He had pleaded guilty on March 8 to one count of receipt of child pornography. At the plea hearing, Etheredge admitted that between 2013 and 2015, he knowingly received child pornography. He also admitted that he was convicted of shipment and transportation of child pornography in Iowa in 2004.

SIOUX CITY — An August trial is scheduled for a Sioux City man accused of biting his baby daughter on the face.

A court document says the child was bitten on March 24, when Valdez was alone with her. He told an officer that the girl had been sick and wouldn’t stop crying.

Trump’s putdown of wind energy whips up a backlash in Iowa IOWA CITY (AP) — President Trump’s putdown of wind energy at his Iowa rally was denounced Thursday across the state, which takes pride in its position as a national leader in wind generation.

Trump was talking up his support for coal during his speech in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday night when he said: “I don’t want to just hope the wind blows to light up your homes and your factories.” He paused before adding, “as the birds fall to the ground,” a reference to birds killed by turbines.

The remark drew some cheers and laughs inside the arena but didn’t go over well across Iowa, where the rapid growth of the state’s wind energy industry has been a bipartisan success story. Environmentalists and politicians said the president’s suggestion that wind is unreliable was outdated and off-base, and noted

that bird deaths have been minimized and aren’t a source of controversy in Iowa.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andy McGuire called Trump’s comment “an attack on Iowa’s economy.” Iowa Environmental Council executive director Ralph Rosenberg called the president “inaccurate and misinformed.”

Iowa’s senior Republican senator, U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, who is considered the father of the federal wind production tax credit that has subsidized the expansion of the industry since the 1990s, again vowed to oppose any anti-wind policies Trump may pursue.

Through a spokesman, Grassley reiterated his year-old pledge that Trump would succeed in ending the production tax credit in Congress “over my dead body.” Last month, Grassley took issue with a study ordered by Ener-

gy Secretary Rick Perry into the reliability of the electric grid, saying he believed it was meant to undermine wind. Grassley argued that Iowa’s utilities have proven wind can be dependable.

In the most ever for any state, Iowa last year generated 36.6 percent of its electricity from wind. That figure is expected to keep growing, with the state’s two largest utilities having already started $4 billion in additional wind expansion projects.

Des Moines-based Mid American Energy, a leader in wind, said that using a balanced mix of traditional and renewable energy sources allows the company to deliver power to customers regardless of whether the wind blows.

MidAmerican says its adoption of wind has helped make its rates among the lowest in the nation. That has also made Iowa an attractive

Protester arrested outside Trump rally faces assault charge CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Authorities say a protester has been charged with assault after a fracas outside the Cedar Rapids rally for President Donald Trump.

Police say 22-year-old Anne Seifert was arrested after Wednesday evening’s incident near the U.S. Cellular Center, where Trump later addressed supporters. A public phone listing for her couldn’t be found Friday. Online court records

don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her.

Police say an officer saw Seifert throw an egg at a man and then punch and kick him. He had been filming the protesters and got into an argument with Seifert. Police say Seifert reported that she became upset because she thought the man had come across the street to provoke her and other protesters.

state for companies that use lots of power but want it to be clean. Microsoft, Facebook and Google have each built large data centers in Iowa in recent years.

A recent state report says 6,000 Iowa workers are employed in the wind energy industry, including those who manufacture and install wind turbines. Farmers also benefit from receiving payments for leasing their land to host them.

“Wind has been a great story in Iowa in every aspect,” said Josh Mandelbaum, an attorney in Des Moines for the Environmental Law and Policy Center. “For everyone else who has looked at this — policy-

makers across the political spectrum — all those things make supporting wind a no-brainer.”

He said the state is proving that the environmental and economic benefits of wind can be achieved without compromising the grid’s reliability. He said wind farms have been located in areas designed to avoid routes flown by migratory birds.

“There are way more bird deaths from birds striking tall buildings, like the type of towers that the president owns, than there are from birds striking wind turbines,” Mandelbaum said. “If the president’s concerned, maybe he should take a look at his

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that between 134,000 and 327,000 birds die in wind turbine collisions annually, while at least 365 million die from window collisions.

Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds, who appeared with Trump on Wednesday, recently helped develop a state energy plan that calls for building upon the “tremendous growth of Iowa’s wind energy industry.” The plan recommends developing more energy storage infrastructure to house excess wind generated by turbines, which operate best during daylight

Travis Wall’s ‘After the Curtain’ schedules Des Moines performance Tickets go on sale July 10 DES MOINES — Travis Wall, Break the Floor Productions and Des Moines Performing Arts are pleased to announce that Travis Wall’s “Shaping Sound: After the Curtain” — the new show by America’s hottest dance company — will perform one night only at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Des Moines Civic Center. Tickets to “Shaping Sound” can be purchased starting at 9 a.m.

July 10 at DMPA.org, the Civic Center Ticket Office, and by phone at 515-246-2300.

“Shaping Sound” was established in Los Angeles in 2012 with a focus on contemporary dance and choreographic artistry. Created by the 2015 Emmy Award winner (and six-time Emmy Award nominee) for Outstanding Choreography Travis Wall, along with partners Nick Lazzarini, Teddy Forance and Kyle Robinson, the company is an evocative collaboration by diverse artists who describe themselves as “visual musicians” i.e. their dance gives shape and form to sound. SHAPING SOUND has impacted audiences with a unique fusion of jazz, modern and hip-hop choreography.

The four young danc-

ers broke into public awareness with the debut of their reality television series All The Right Moves on the Oxygen channel which followed them in their quest to launch the dance company. Since that time they have been showcased on all of America’s popular prime time dance, awards, entertainment and music shows, including: “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Dancing With The Stars,” “Glee” and The 2013 Prime Time Emmy Awards. They were featured in Carrie Underwood’s Grammy Award-winning music video “Something In The Water,” and they are frequent guests on The Ellen Show.

“After the Curtain” is the second show for the eclectic dance company, following on the heels of the spellbinding Dance Re-imagined which toured North America for four years.

Conceived and choreographed by Travis Wall,

“After The Curtain” tells the story of a man fighting to find his creative voice after the death of his one true love. Heart wrenching, breath taking and ultimately uplifting, this is one dance show that audiences will remember forever. Tra-

vis Wall will be dancing in the show throughout the tour schedule, and he will be joined by his “Shaping Sound” co-founder Nick Lazzarini. The remaining company of 12 dancers will be announced at a later date.

Parkinson’s sufferers offer tips for those struggling with symptoms Despite Parkinson’s Disease affecting around 1 million people in the US alone, the degenerative disease can be difficult to live with. We Have Parkinson’s, one of the growing support and research groups in the US dedicated to helping those live with the disease, has offered those who may feel isolated and struggling with daily tasks tips for living with their illness.

The first port of call for sufferers is to ask for help. Many feel that seeking help is a sign of weakness, but as Parkinson’s becomes more well-known, many individuals are much more informed and educated on the topic, meaning they’re often more sympathetic to those suffering.

Speaking about the illness, Jon Sherman, CEO, from We Have Parkinson’s, said, “Not long ago, not an awful lot was known about Parkinson’s, but as treatments have developed, and more people with Parkinson’s have spoken about their experiences, there is a

MAYTAG Lung Cancer • Other Cancers

Special trusts have been set up by vendors and suppliers of the Maytag plant to pay asbestos victims.

If you ever worked at the Maytag plant you may have been exposed to asbestos - and not even know it. You could be entitled to multiple cash settlements without going to court, filing a lawsuit, or even leaving your house.

If you ever worked at the Maytag plant, and have been diagnosed with Lung Cancer (even if you are a smoker) - or Esophageal, Laryngeal, Pharyngeal, Stomach, Colon, Rectal Cancer or Mesothelioma, or know someone who died from one of these cancers, call

growing awareness of the disease.

As a result, friends, family and colleagues increasingly will know how to help those struggling.

Therefore, anyone who may be struggling with new symptoms, or those whose quality of life is gradually deteriorating, will often find that asking loved ones — and even strangers — for help can be a huge support.”

The next tip from the experts is to read up about the disease and invest in small gadgets that can make a big difference. Using a phone, a remote control, and even a keyboard can become increasingly difficult, but by researching and investing in specialist alternatives, such as phones, remote controls, and keyboards with large buttons, or even voice activated ones, can be incredibly freeing and much more convenient.

The last tip from the group is to not be afraid to look at alternative treatments. “Not every treatment will work for every person,”

added Mark Beatty. “If you find something isn’t making a difference, or isn’t suiting you, it’s time to look at alternatives. There are lots of treatments available nowadays to ease symptoms, so it pays to do your homework.”

Restore Gold capsules, developed by We Have Parkinson’s, contain seven key ingredients that have helped to ease the symptoms of those with Parkinson’s in 80 percent of cases, based on customer feedback. Manufactured with FDA GMP manufacturing practices, the capsules have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from those who have tried it.

We Have Parkinson’s is made up of Parkinson’s Disease sufferers. Having come together just three years ago, the team aims to help make life that little bit easier for fellow sufferers by opening up their world — while potentially helping to improve quality of life with their innovative Restore Gold capsules.

Newton Daily News With fireworks now legal in Iowa there will be even more celebrating for the Fourth of July and the preceding weekend.

Unfortunately, that celebrating too often includes misuse of alcohol which may lead to drunk driving. Because the high fatality rate over recent Fourth of July holidays there will be additional law enforcement on Iowa’s roads as well as the entire nation.

The most recent information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that nationally over the 2015 Fourth of July holiday (6 p.m. July 2 to 6 a.m. July 6) 146 people were killed in crashes involving at least one driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher, and 92 people died in crashes involving at least one driver or motorcycle operator with a BAC of .15 or higher — almost twice the legal limit. In Iowa there were five fatalities in 2015 with three alcohol related and five in 2016 of which four were alcohol related.

Nationwide, the number of overall drunk-driving traffic fatalities increased by three percent from 9,943 in 2014 to 10,265

Mental lapses stifle Newton baseball

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High catcher Reagan Maple tries to dig the ball out of his catcher’s mitt to make a throw to second base during a recent home game. Newton lost 7-1 in a non-conference game on Thursday at Des Moines Lincoln.

DES MOINES — Newton High’s Cardinals were going along pretty well in a 1-all game against host Des Moines Lincoln. They had matched the Railsplitters with a run in the second.

It was still tied through four complete innings. Then the wheels came off in the bottom of the fifth of Thursday’s game.

“We had a mental blow up in the fifth. We just didn’t handle the situations we had defensively very well,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said following a 7-1 loss.

Newton’s starting pitcher Ryan Barr and relief pitcher Ben Leal had trouble finding the strike zone in the fifth.

There were walks issued, wild pitches thrown, passed balls by catchers and three errors. It all led to four Lincoln runs.

The Railsplitters added two more runs in the sixth. There was a walk and a wild pitch in that inning also.

“We really had the one inning when we didn’t respond well to things,” Brisel said. “We played well enough defensively, except for that inning. We didn’t compete as well this game as in other games this season.”

After Lincoln scored in the first inning for a 1-0 lead, Newton came right back in its half of second.

Trey Vanderlaan singled, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Barr.

Jace Lukefahr delivered an RBI base hit.

The teams played two scoreless innings. Newton left four men on base during the game and Lincoln stranded six base runners.

“This was against a team we matched up well with and had an opportunity to win a game on the road,” Brisel said. “Having the mental blow up we had is not going to happen again.”

Barr pitched four innings. He gave up four runs on five hits and five walks. Leal allowed three runs on one hit and two walks in two innings of work.

Tyler Stanton hit two singles for Newton’s offense. Hitting a single each were Trevor Ergenbright, Bennen Dodd, Vanderlaan, Lukefahr and Jaron Roush.

Newton’s junior varsity lost to Des Moines Lincoln, 13-8.

Newton fell to 5-20 overall. The Cardinals take a 3-11 Little Hawkeye Conference mark into Friday’s game at Pella.

“We have to put this behind us and move forward. We’re back in action Friday,” Brisel said.

Newton split a doubleheader with Pella on June 7. Pella (12-11) is coming off a split of LHC twin bill with Norwalk.

The Little Dutch are 7-8 in conference play.

The junior varsity game is slated for 5:30 p.m. followed by the varsity game at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Pella.

Newton hosts Norwalk on Monday.

s a teenager in the 1970s, one of the hit songs of my youth was “Seasons in the Sun,” by Terry Jacks. Tragic song lyrics but the refrain and the tune stick in your mind.

I heard it the other day and it stuck in my mind when I began thinking of writing about a little problem I have.

Tweeting in the sun.

I apologize to any and all the followers of NDNSports1 Twitter account. It’s usually me tweeting.

Tweeting with the sun out or almost anytime it’s daylight out, I don’t know about all of you but I have a hard time seeing my cell phone screen. Can you?

I’ve changed the settings on my phone for Twitter, thinking it would help. Well, sort of.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets I have to like it.

I blame the daylight for mistakes when I’m typing. Most of it is from that factor, but as a sports journalist for a small daily newspaper, you have to cover an event — meaning, you are taking photos with a camera, taking notes on a notebook, watching the event always, handling a camera, a notebook, a pen, a cell phone all at the same time.

I’m not making excuses. I’m telling you facts. I did better on my older cell phone with raised keys. The touchpad phone I have now, not so much.

One other problem I have — and it is why I apologize for my tweets and Facebook postings — is I care about spelling things correctly and using grammar.

I’ve been under attack from time to time since working at the Newton Daily News with my constant postings on social media about my spelling, etc.

In Facebook postings, you can go back and edit. Tweets you can’t. Frustrating for me are those facts.

I realize social mediacs shorten and use initials to communicate in the short space. But really? It’s not sports related but how lazy is it to go from babe to bae. Also, who really takes care in using proper words and grammar on social media anyway? How can people criticize about spelling?

I’ve sent out some doozies. I’m not very proficient at this task.

Take a soccer match for example — Newton just scored a goal, so I’m trying to send out as much information, i.e., who scored, time of the goal and what the score is with both teams’ names. I’m not very quick typing it on my phone, I can’t see my screen because it’s an afternoon game. I’m trying to shade it with my hat, turning another direction or with my other hand while holding onto my camera.

And the game is off and running again.

Not an easy task for me. I give it the old college try at every event. Just chuckle with me when you read those if there’s mistakes in the tweets, try to

Mustang softball knocks off No. 9 West Marshall

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STATE CENTER — Senior Katie Vande Wall hit a home run in the fifth inning to ignite the Prairie City-Monroe softball team on Thursday, and the Mustangs used that momentum to claim a come-from-behind win over Class 3A No. 9 West Marshall.

Vande Wall’s third home run of the season closed the gap to 2-1 in the fifth inning, and the Mustangs rallied with five runs in the seventh inning to win the nonconference game.

Senior Kayla Jennings allowed three earned runs on three hits with seven strikeouts. Jennings surrendered a home run to Brooke Snider in the first inning but allowed just two singles the rest of the way. She is now 10-6 on the season with 115 strikeouts.

Cubs send struggling Schwarber to Triple-A Iowa MIAMI (AP) — The Chicago Cubs are hoping a stint in the minors will help Kyle Schwarber find his swing again.

The 24-year-old Schwarber was sent down to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, giving the slumping slugger a chance to catch his breath after a difficult start to the season.

“We talked to him after the game yesterday and he took it really well,” manager Joe Maddon said. “We’re doing it to help reset him and get him back to a fresh start.

As you would expect he was very professional about it. He understood it entirely.”

The Cubs also placed outfielder Jason Heyward on the 10-day disabled list before their series opener at Miami.

Outfielder Mark Zagunis and right-hander Dylan Floro were brought up from Chicago’s top farm club.

Heyward has an abrasion on his left hand.

His DL stint was made retroactive to Monday.

Schwarber made his major league debut in 2015 and hit .246 with 16 homers and 43 RBIs in 69 games. He missed most of last season with a leg injury after a frightening outfield collision, then returned in October to help the Cubs win the World Series for the first time since 1908.

But the No. 4 pick in the 2014 amateur draft has struggled so far this year. He is batting just .171 with 12 homers and 28 RBIs. Schwarber began the year in the leadoff spot, but was pushed down in the lineup after the slow start. Nothing has worked. He has struck out 75 times in 64 games.

Schwarber isn’t the only player from last year’s championship club who has underperformed so far this season. Chicago is 36-35 heading into the series against the Marlins.

“The biggest thing is just to realize where you are in life and there’s a lot more problems that you could be dealing with and I remind myself of that every day,” third baseman Kris Bryant said. “If I go 0-for04 and that’s my biggest problem of the day, then I’m doing just fine and I think (Schwarber) has that great attitude about himself and I think that’s going to get him a long way.”

Splash! Timberwolves get Jimmy Butler from Bulls MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Ever since Tom Thibodeau took over in Minnesota last summer, a reunion with Chicago Bulls All-Star Jimmy Butler seemed destined to happen.

For the coach that desperately wanted a defensive-minded veteran to set the tone for a talented young roster, and for the player who started to realize what he had in that hard-driving leader until he was gone.

“It’s been something that over a prolonged period of time there have been different moments where he’s had to consider it and think about it,” Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee, told The Associated Press. “In some

ways it feels like it was spoken into reality.”

In the blockbuster move of draft night, the Bulls traded Butler and the 16th overall pick Thursday night to the Timberwolves for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and the No. 7 overall pick as the Wolves try to put an end to a 13-year playoff drought.

The trade brings together Butler and Wolves coach and president Thibodeau, who coached the Bulls for five seasons before being fired in 2015. Thibodeau helped Butler become an All-NBA performer and earn a $95 million contract and Butler helped Thibodeau instill the brass-knuckle

mentality into those Bulls teams.

Now they’re together again, trying to lead a franchise that has not made the playoffs since 2004.

The Wolves paid a big price: Besides surrendering the lottery pick, they gave up a rising star in LaVine, who is coming off of a torn ACL and Dunn, last year’s No. 5 overall pick.

They were among the youngest teams in the league last season, cast as a team that could be a force once all of their pups grew up.

After a disappointing first season, Thibodeau grabbed a fully grown pit bull to toughen the team up.

Butler played for Thibodeau for four seasons in Chicago, developing from an unheralded, late-first round draft pick into a perennial All-Star. The two strong-willed workaholics clashed on occasion during their time together and Butler said during the Olympics in Rio last summer that it was “love-hate” relationship.

Butler averaged career highs in points (23.9), rebounds (6.2) and assists (5.5) in his sixth season. He also is one of the league’s top defenders, an absolute necessity for a young team that finished 26th in the league in defensive efficiency last season. He will turn 28 in September.

Royals slowly climb into contention KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Well, look at the Royals now.

After a 10-20 start, some looked ahead to trades and retooling. Following Salvador Perez’s go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning Wednesday night boosted Kansas City to a 6-4 victory over Boston, the Royals are 35-36 and just 3 1/2 games back of AL Central-leading Minnesota.

“We’re playing like we know we can and we’re moving in the right direction,” second baseman Whit Merrifield said, “and hopefully we can keep that up and keep making progress.”

A third AL pennant in four seasons remains possible.

General manager Dayton Moore is in the most precarious positions as July looms, saddled with a club that has restored winning baseball to Kansas City but is poised to scatter into the wind after the season. Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar are poised to hit free agency, all of them a crucial part of the 2015 championship team, along with left-hander Jason Vargas, who has bounced back from Tommy John surgery to tie for the major league lead in wins.

So it made sense when the

File Photo Kansas City Royals’ Salvador Perez hit his first career grand slam during the eighth inning of the Wednesday’s game against the Boston Red Sox in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals won 6-4 and have steadily climbed back into contention in the American League Central Division.

Royals were scuffling that fans wanted a sell-off. Better to rebuild the farm system than get nothing from them should they sign elsewhere in the offseason.

But with the Royals back in contention, going unbeaten in their past six series, Moore must gauge whether this is merely a hot streak.

Should he begin formulating a plan for the trade deadline that involves dealing away what’s left of his deplet-

ed prospect base to fortify a big league club with plenty of warts? Or should he keep the lines of communication with other clubs in case the Royals take another nosedive?

The reality is Moore will probably straddle until the last possible moment.

In the meantime, the Royals are focused squarely on the present heading into a threegame series against Toronto beginning Friday night.

Their pitching staff, despite

NBA Draft: Freshmen dominate top 10 picks Continued from Page 1B freshmen. Nine of the first 10 selections played just one season of college ball.

A night that’s usually about the rookies quickly was jolted by another of the big moves involving veterans that have come in a flurry since the NBA Finals. The Chicago Bulls traded three-time AllStar Jimmy Butler and the 16th overall pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and the No. 7 overall draft pick, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.

While that was being completed, the draft got off to a familiar start with the same top-four picks as last year: Philadelphia, the Lakers, Boston and Phoenix.

Fultz averaged 23.2 points last season, tops among freshmen, and added 5.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game, the only Division I player to reach those stats. He walked across the stage Thursday night at Barclays Center wearing orange sneakers made of basketballs .

The 76ers had the No. 1 pick for the second straight year after trading with the Boston Celtics on Mon-

day. Now they add Fultz to a promising young core that includes Rookie of the Year finalists Joel Embiid and Dario Saric, plus Ben Simmons, the top pick from last year who sat out all season with a foot injury.

Fultz, who played just 25 games in college, said it was always his dream to be the top pick and wasn’t bothered that Boston traded the chance to take him.

“In high school I told my trainer Keith I wanted to be the No. 1 player in the country and the No. 1 draft pick, so it was a goal I set out there, and that’s what I was striving for,” Fultz said.

Ball then got the wish he and his father, LaVar, wanted all along by staying in Los Angeles, where he starred last season at UCLA. LaVar Ball had said his son would only play for the Lakers, and it was clear that would happen when Lonzo got a phone call with the Lakers on the clock.

As Lonzo walked on stage to meet Commissioner Adam Silver and put on a purple Lakers hat, LaVar put on a gold and purple Big Baller Brand hat, the company he has started.

“Tonight was supposed to be a good night. Definitely

was, and now I’m just focused on playing,” Lonzo Ball said.

“Just want to get on the court.”

The Celtics then took Duke’s Jayson Tatum at No. 3 after moving down two spots in the trade with Philadelphia, drawing cheers from a large contingent of their fans at Barclays Center wearing green.

The Suns took Josh Jackson of Kansas, the Sacramento Kings took Kentucky guard De’Aaron Fox at No. 5 and the run of freshmen continued when the Orlando Magic selected Jonathan Isaac.

Silver has talked about changing the NBA’s limit, saying the current rule that American-born players must be 19 and a year out of high school, but teams seem just fine with the current system.

The run of freshmen bettered the 2014 record of four straight first-year players to start the draft, finally ending when the New York Knicks took French guard Frank Ntilikina at No. 8.

The top 10 was rounded out with two more freshmen: Dennis Smith Jr. of North Carolina State to Dallas at No. 9, and Gonzaga’s Zach Collins at No. 10 with the Kings’ second pick.

Chiefs sign Andy Reid to extension, part with GM John Dorsey KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid and John Dorsey arrived with the Kansas City Chiefs within weeks of each other, the coach and general manager given the massive undertaking of turning around a 2-14 franchise.

Reid will head into Year 5 by himself.

The Chiefs announced Thursday they had signed their coach to a contract extension, and then revealed less than an hour later that they parted ways with their GM. Those were massive decisions handed down by chairman Clark Hunt in a pair of statements on what is typically a quiet week in the offseason.

“My family and I have been very pleased by the success the franchise has sustained over the last four seasons under Coach Reid,” Hunt said. “He has already established himself as one of the best coaches in the league, and he is well on

his way to solidifying a place among the all-time greats.”

It wasn’t just Reid that got the Chiefs on the winning track, though.

Dorsey arrived from Green Bay with a reputation for being a savvy scout, his track record working in the front office of the Packers seemingly impeccable. And over the past four seasons, he managed to turn a roster with a few big names but little depth into one of the strongest in the league.

It still wasn’t enough to keep his job with the Chiefs.

Just like Reid, Dorsey was entering the final year of a fiveyear contract.

But unlike his close friend, he was informed by Hunt that his contract would not be extended. So the two agreed to part ways now rather than wait until next offseason, leaving a significant void in the front office.

Hunt did not say who will handle the GM duties on an interim basis, though Reid juggled coaching and personnel decisions in Philadelphia with varying levels of success.

“This decision, while a difficult one, allows John to pursue other opportunities as we continue our preparations for the upcoming season and the seasons to come,” Hunt said.

Hunt did not say why he thought the organization needed to move in a different direction, nor was he made available to answer questions.

But he said in a letter to season ticketholders later Thursday he will conduct a search for a new GM in the coming weeks that includes internal and external candidates.

“I believe that we have a strong foundation in place,” Hunt wrote, “and we will continue to work tirelessly to build on the success we’ve sustained over the last four seasons.”

losing ace Danny Duffy to an oblique injury and Nate Karns to some elbow pain, has been stifling. Their bullpen that struggled after trading away All-Star closer Wade Davis in the offseason has solidified.

And their offense that had several players struggling to hit.200 has broken out with a vengeance, belting home runs at a rate unseen in Kansas City in years.

“We’ve been playing really well, having great at-bats later

in the games — kind of picking each other up,” starter Ian Kennedy said. “Everybody is doing their job.”

The results have been there, too.

The Royals are an AL-best 13-6 in June and have not lost consecutive games to the same team in more than a month.

They’ve won 12 in a row scoring at least four runs, and have become comeback artists — five times they’ve trailed in the seventh and won.

“We’ve got so far to go,” said Royals manager Ned Yost, whose team hasn’t been .500 since it was 7-7 in early April. “I just focus on today, as dumb as it sounds. But that’s how I’m built.”

Actually, that’s how the Royals are built. They stayed the course when things were at their worst, and now they’re trying to take the same approach that things are at their best.

“Guys just started playing well. That’s really all it came out to,” Merrifield said. “It’s part of baseball. Guys are going to go through tough times. Some guys got off to a slower start than they’d like, but they’re playing better now and hopefully we can keep that going forward.”

Phillies deck Cardinals PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Aaron Nola pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning, Freddy Galvis and Tommy Joseph homered. The Philadelphia Phillies ended a fivegame losing streak by beating St. Louis, 5-1, Thursday.

Joseph drove in three runs as Philadelphia, a major leagueworst 23-48, won for just the second time in 15 games.

Nola (4-5) allowed one run, four hits and two walks in 7 1/3 innings and struck

out eight.

Paul DeJong homered leading off the eighth, pulling the Cardinals to 3-1, and Matt Carpenter walked with one out. Pat Neshek relieved and got Tommy Pham to ground into an inning-ending double play, and Luis Garcia followed with a perfect ninth.

Carlos Martinez (6-6) gave up three runs — two earned — and six hits with four strikeouts in six innings. The Cardinals made three errors.

The Cancer moon offers a boost of intuitive energy for a brand-new endeavor. Not all who embark will arrive. Those who get there may employ the same strategy as those who don’t. There are no guarantees. Refrain from comparing yourself and focus inward to understand what feels right to you. Each person has a unique standard of success.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 23). You’ll thrive in many kinds of relationships this year.

You’ll have an easy give-andtake with some. For others it’s a give and give, and this will teach you and grow your heart, too. You’ll be repaid in July.

Travel attracts new business

in October. Your devotion will inspire a sacrifice and a victory in 2018. Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 40, 4, 9 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Stop overthinking. Make a move. Whether a move is wrong or right, it tells you what the next move should be.

This will stop you from going in circles in your head and will get you going on a straight line instead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Fear is energy that can be directed in a positive way, but that’s not how it’s used very often. To direct your fear well, keep reminding yourself of what it is you want to achieve, and breathe toward that aim.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Long blocks of focused, uninterrupted concentration are necessary to accomplish anything worthwhile. There is something (or more likely (SET ITAL)someone(END ITAL)) preventing you from having time to focus -- a situation that must be remedied.

to yourself. It works. Surround yourself with symbols and messages about what you want yourself to choose.

EMPLOYMENT

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Risking rejection is no fun (even for extroverts) but it must be faced in the name of progress.

Go where the opportunities are and make friends. If you don’t know where they are, go where you think they are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As the mountain cradles the lake, your earth-sign nature will hold a water-sign individual very dear. These are the Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer people, and they could really use someone with your reliability.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Sometimes you wonder if you’re too brave for your own good. You’ve been known to jump into the spotlight unprepared, but that’s better than missing out. After all, opportunities usually don’t

wait around until you’re ready for them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The people who have the best perspective about the job will be the ones who have done it.

Go to the ground level, not the top (unless the ones at the top started at the bottom and have worked their way all through).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As it is with anything, what you pay attention to loves you back. When you give attention to your deeper feelings and the subconscious layers of yourself, too, you start feeling more resoundingly fulfilled.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The tools used to create will be a focus, but don’t be fooled; the tools do not make the creation. Creativity is in

the head and heart. Fancy, expensive tools can actually work against the art.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Customs matter -- but not really. Following the right movements in the correct order will show respect when you don’t yet have the other person’s.

Once you’ve earned a place in the heart, the protocol will become less important.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You sense you’re being flattered. That doesn’t mean the compliments aren’t true; it just means your flatterer is smart enough to grease the gears.

One person’s dishonesty is another person’s clever navigation of complex times.
