$44,500 grant awarded to clock tower project

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A $44,500 State Historical Society of Iowa grant has been awarded to the Newton Historic Preservation Commission for the restoration of the Jasper County Courthouse clock tower. The clock

tower is a historical feature in the courthouse dating back more than a century to approximately 1910.

The grant funds will be used to bring the Seth Thomas-designed clock tower back to historical museum grade, a project estimated to cost between $100,000 and

$125,000. The restoration includes, in part, removal and re-installation of the clock and hand assemblies, restoration of factory finish to all wheels, arbors and pinions dial panels, with a coat of microcrystalline wax applied for rust protection, replacing any missing pieces, restoring the

original four way differential, replace glass dial panels with UV protected sign quality colycarbontate and refinished and re-coat existing cast iron dial frames.

The clock tower project is one of 27 projects in 25 Iowa communities awarded grant funds. The Historical Re-

source Development Grants and Country School Grants in fiscal year 2018 from the State Historical Society of Iowa awarded more than $535,000 to museums, historical organizations and additional projects throughout the state.

Kids Beat the Heat at Maytag Pool

Newton residents find plenty of ways to cool off during an excessive heat warning

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News In the midst of high heat and humidity Newton residents cooled off the best way they could; they went to the pool. The Fred C. Maytag pool in Newton, located at 310 S 11th Ave. W., was packed on Thursday afternoon, as Newton residents tried to cool off as the heat index soared to more than a 100 degrees.

As temperatures soar this week, the National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for central Iowa, including Newton. Residents are advised to stay inside, and seek out cooling centers if their homes aren’t air conditioned. While the high temperatures are projected to be in the mid 90s the combination of warm weather and high humidity has pushed the heat index more than 100 degrees. Some

forecasts have projected Friday’s heat index to reach 110 degrees.

During an excessive heat warning, residents are advised to be watchful for heat related illnesses, including dehydration and heat related exhaustion. The United States Department of Human Services issued a press release this week reminding residents that while young children or animals should never be left unattended in automobiles, the risk is much higher in extreme hot weather.

Lifeguard Matthew Karsten, a senior at Newton High School said that the heat has brought residents out in record numbers this week. As part of his lifeguard

With summer in full swing the Newton Community School District Board of Education will have a light agenda to focus on during their meeting Monday. The regular meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday at the E.J. H. Beard Administration Center, 1302 First Ave. W., will be a chance for the board to get ready to start the 2017-18 school year in Newton.

Board members will consider a request for several fundraising activities, including allowing the Newton High School chapter of DECA to purchase T-shirts and superfan apparel to sell throughout the school year.

DECA is a nationwide organization with chapters around the country. The program’s goal is to help high school and college students that are focused on careers in marketing, entrepreneurship

Dosey-doe Residents of Newton Village participate in Barn Dance

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Newton Village residents had a chance to lace up their dancing shoes and participate in a three-day dance calling activity. The polished dancers practiced for two days before debuting their learned routines.

Reid Miller, of Ames, led the group as he called out various dance movements all

to the tune of folk music. Miller specializes in encouraging people of all ages to be active and social, and he did just that.

Residents, staff and children volunteers all grabbed a dancing partner. The moves varied in difficulty but all residents had a chance to participate. Basic movements included side-toside, clapping and arm movements all while sitting down.

Residents who were restricted to wheel chairs or walkers were able to participate in a parade of dance movements. As staff and volunteers pushed residents around the room, the caller would yell out different things, such as, “everyone walk to the right, everyone walk to the middle of the floor or everyone present their jazz fingers.”

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Friday, July 21, the 202nd day of 2017. There are 163 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 21, 1925, the so-called “Monkey Trial” ended in Dayton, Tennessee, with John T. Scopes found guilty of violating state law for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. (The conviction was later overturned on a technicality.)

On this date: In 1861, during the Civil War, the first Battle of Bull Run was fought at Manassas, Va., resulting in a Confederate victory.

In 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed an executive order establishing the Veterans Administration (later the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs).

In 1944, American forces landed on Guam during World War II, capturing it from the Japanese some three weeks later.

The Democratic national convention in Chicago nominated Sen. Harry S. Truman to be vice president.

In 1955, during a summit in Geneva, President Dwight D. Eisenhower presented his “open skies” proposal under which the U.S. and the Soviet Union would trade information on each other’s military facilities and allow aerial reconnaissance. (The Soviets rejected the proposal.)

In 1973, Israeli agents in Lillehammer, Norway, killed Ahmed Bouchikhi, a Moroccan waiter, in a case of mistaken identity, apparently thinking he was an official with Black September, the group that attacked Israel’s delegation at the 1972 Munich Olympics and killed 11 athletes.

In 1980, draft registration began in the United States for 19- and 20-year-old men.

In 2011, the 30-year-old space shuttle program ended as Atlantis landed at Cape Canaveral, Florida, after the 135th shuttle flight.

Ten years ago: Doctors removed five polyps from President George W. Bush’s colon after he temporarily transferred the powers of his office to Vice President Dick Cheney under the rarely invoked 25th Amendment. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the final volume of the wizard series by J.K. Rowling, went on sale.

Five years ago: The president of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge, rejected the latest calls for a minute of silence for the Israeli victims of the 1972 Munich massacre at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

One year ago: Donald Trump accepted the GOP presidential nomination with a speech in which he pledged to cheering Republicans and still-skeptical voters that as president, he would restore the safety they feared they were losing, strictly curb immigration and save the nation from Hillary Clinton’s record of “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.” The NBA moved the 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte because of its objections to a North Carolina law that limited anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people.

That’s Odd Self-described drug dealer calls 911, reports stolen cocaine FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Calling 911 to report a stolen bag of cocaine probably wasn’t the best idea for a self-described Florida drug dealer.

But Okaloosa Sheriff ’s officials wrote on Facebook that 32-yearold David Blackmon did just that on Sunday morning.

The post says Blackmon called 911 to report a robbery in Fort Walton Beach. Blackmon told the responding deputy that someone entered his car and took $50 and about a quarter ounce of cocaine from the center console.

Entertainment Ryan Seacrest back as host of ‘Idol’ when it returns The nationwide search for ‘Idol’ begins in August NEW YORK (AP) — Seacrest in!

Ryan Seacrest will be back hosting “American Idol” when it returns for its first season on ABC. Kelly Ripa made the announcement on Thursday’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” which she has co-hosted with Seacrest since he joined her in May. “I am happy to confirm ... that Ryan Seacrest is returning as the host of ‘American Idol,’” said Ripa as the studio audience whooped.

Seacrest said he was excited to be doing it again.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a 15-year relationship and then, for a reason that you really don’t know, you break up,” he said. “I thought, ‘Gosh, it would be great to get back together at some point.’”

Seacrest had a grand history with “Idol” during its smash-hit run on Fox from 2002 through 2016.

Reclaiming that job now gives him an additional role in the Disney family, which owns ABC and

produces the syndicated “Live.”

His potential return to “Idol” had sparked much speculation since ABC announced in May that it would revive the talent competition. The program airs from Los Angeles and “Live” airs weekday mornings from New York. But the 42-year-old Seacrest is no stranger to a packed work schedule and cross-country flights.

“You can have all the tickets you want,” he told Ripa, “and you can come back and forth with me any weekend.”

Seacrest will also continue his syndicated Los Angeles morning-drivetime radio show, as well as a nationally syndicated Top 40 radio show, from his iHeartMedia studio in the same Manhattan complex where “Live” is telecast.

He also hosts and executive produces ABC’s annual “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” and is a busy producer of series in which he doesn’t appear, including “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and its many spin-offs.

ABC Entertainment President Channing

Dungey called Seacrest’s talent “limitless, and I can’t think of a more appropriate person to honor the ‘Idol’ legacy as it takes on new life than the man who has been there through it all.”

On Fox, “Idol” dominated TV in the 2000s and minted stars like Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson, while making its judges, such as Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell, household names.

It was the No. 1 series for nine years, peaking with 30 million viewers each episode in 2006.

But by its last season the average audience had dipped to 11 million and skewed older, and NBC’s “The Voice” surpassed it in popularity. Fox eliminated it. Even so, in today’s television world, an audience of 11 million would rank it among TV’s top 20 shows, a fact that clearly didn’t escape ABC’s notice.

On the final Fox edition, a hopeful Seacrest told viewers, “Goodbye — for now.”

The nationwide search for the first ABC-aired “Idol” begins next month.

ABC has not announced a premiere date.

“When I look at it, I am trying to do it all one whole project, not split it up into two or three different times,” Sparks said. “When you do a clock like this and what we are trying to do is get this clock back into historical grade.”

Sparks has been in contact with several clock restoration companies and will bring final proposals to the board at a future meeting.

training Karsten watches for signs of heat exhaustion or dehydration in children, making sure to remind kids to cool off and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.

“We’ve had a few kids complaining, we just try to get some fluids in them,” Karsten said. “I’m drinking a lot of water myself and trying to get in the water to cool off as much as possible.”

For Sue Coleman, of Newton, the pool was a welcome respite from a morning spent remodeling her home. She and her husband brought their four kids out to the pool on Thursday afternoon, and Coleman said they planned to keep coming back as long as the hot weather persists.

“It was either this or sit at home in front of the air conditioning,” Coleman said.

In addition to going to the pool, the Coleman family has found plenty of other ways to beat the heat this week. Earlier in the week Coleman organized a slumber party for the kids to watch movies during the day in their living room, which she said was the coolest room in the house. She’s also been handing out plenty of freezer pops all week.

“We’ll be right back here tomorrow,” Coleman said.

We’ve been working on our remodeling projects in the morning, and then we bring the kids here in the afternoon to cool off.”

Even though she has a pool in her backyard Emily Henderson said she still likes coming to the Maytag pool to and visit with friends. Her job at Wells Fargo keeps her cool during the day, but Henderson says it’s nice to come cool off at the pool in the afternoons. If it doesn’t cool off soon, Henderson said she’s thinking about getting out of town for awhile.

“I’ll be back here tomorrow, but we’ve been thinking about going to the waterparks at Wisconsin Dells this weekend,” Henderson said.

Three products will be delivered from the project including one, five to seven minutes video that will feature between four and six Newton based manufactures and employers, one 60 to 90 second “charm” video and four to six 90 second in length videos that will showcase individual manufacturers.

The videos will include text, graphics, animation and voiceovers and can be used on social media,

“The 90 second video is one that I think will be really key for us to use in marketing,” Rodgers said.

The city’s contribution towards the project is $4,000 to be paid for using funds from the marketing budget.

The second advertising route approved is for four Travel Iowa Cooperative Partnership program opportunities. The board had previously reviewed options from Travel Iowa and made recommendations on the areas it thought

would best suite the city.

From those discussions, reservations were made with the Iowa Outdoor Package for $300, Vacation Iowa for $600 and for a Travel Iowa Facebook Ad in both September and May for $600, all to be paid for using marketing budget funds.

The board plans to review the data after the ads run on the Travel Iowa Facebook page in September to determine future advertising endeavors.

Kappos said the residents were beaming the whole evening and the event couldn’t have gone any better. She said she credits all the planning of the event to Michele Jansen, the activities coordinator at Newton Village.

“She did a great job coordinating all the activities,” Kappos said. “She is so creative.”

DECA sponsor Karla Cazett, the faculty advisor for the Newton chapter, wrote in her request that the money raised from the sale will be used to purchase DECA memberships for students and to defray the expenses associated with attendance at nationwide DECA conferences for Newton High School students.

The school board will also consider a fundraising request from the Newton High School cheerleaders.

Coach Heather Ross wrote that the cheerleaders are planning to have a car wash on July 30th to raise money to offset competition fees for Newton cheerleaders. The team plans to charge $5 per car, and they hope to raise $300 or more.

Our evolution to boring

So Anyway Dana King

Editor’s note: This column originally published Feb. 3, 2017. t’s officially official... hubby and I are boring.

I can tell you the exact moment it happened. It was a few weeks ago, on a Monday, when we received the book “National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Birds of North America” in the mail from Avery.

Let me bring you up to speed...

We have a four-seasons room on the back of our house that opens on to our deck. We spend a great deal of time in that room most every day enjoying the views to the east, north and west.

When our kids were younger, we had an above-ground pool just off the deck.

Gosh, our family spent a lot of time out there in that pool. In those days, the room was basically a screened-in porch with a ‘beachy’ theme — our ‘lanai’ — wicker

I

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | July 21, 2017

furniture, fishing net draped around the ceiling, ornamental lighthouses, ceramic sea-creatures, pirate flags, tropical plants.

It always had swim towels, pool toys and wet foot prints on the floor.

As the kids grew and their lives involved more activities away from the homestead, the pool was used less and less (although the upkeep remained the same). Eventurally the kids moved out, the pool came down and the lanai was enclosed with three walls of windows.

We were gladly slowing down, stepping back and appreciating a more tranquil lifestyle.

Once we added heat and A/C to the room we used the lanai more often, and last summer, I told hubby he could consider it his ‘man cave’ and move his John Wayne and racing memorabilia from the shelves in the basement to his very own space.

He’d made it as far as putting his recline out there, before we moved my

mom in for what we thought would be a convalescing period. She loved that room, and would spend her days out there watching television, reading her Kindle, enjoying autumn’s fresh country air, watching wildlife and napping in hubby’s recliner while I was at work.

Eventually, we decided to make her move permanent, which meant combining two households into one. Timing couldn’t have been better, as my oldest son, Josh, and his family had purchased a home and would be starting from scratch, so they needed to furnish a 3-bedroom house. We managed to disperse most of her furnishings my kids.

However, mom asked if we would mind putting her nice living room furniture on the lanai, replacing the eclectic combination of seating we had accumulated. Absolutely!

So much for the man cave. Poor hubby — he’d even purchased a TV and sound bar for his westerns and racing, and the Duke, Dale Jarrett and Carl Edwards collections never had a chance.

It’s now a beautiful, cozy and calming room, a complete 180 from a man cave.

Unfortunately, mom was only able to enjoy it briefly before she died.

We’ve always appreciated nature and

wildlife, and although the current season isn’t conducive to sitting outdoors in our porch swing or rocking chairs, we still do our fair share of bird watching from the comfort of our lanai and its open views, especially after hubby put up several bird feeders. It’s cerebral.

I remember rolling my eyes when we’d visit my in-law’s house years ago, with the bird feeders they had hanging in front of their picture windows. I figured those people had terribly boring lives if they found any sort of entertainment watching a bunch of dirty, nasty birds. If I only knew.

So anyway...

Guess who now relaxes on the lanai and can identify four varieties of woodpeckers and watches chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches, finches and dark-eyed juncos populating the feeders on the deck? And guess who can’t wait for the weather to warm up so we can fill our variety of specialized feeders with red nectar for the hummingbirds?

Yep... it’s officially official... we’re those boring people with an oft-used bird book on the coffee table. And loving every minute of it.

Each is the same when you read it backward. Next year, 2018, Palindrome Week will fall in the eighth month, August.

All week, my social media has been blowing up with folks wishing me a happy Palindrome Week.

Oh, yeah? What’s so happy about it?

I have a lot of problems with Palindrome Week.

For starters, the term “Palindrome Week” is not, in itself, a palindrome. What’s up with that? The word “palindrome” isn’t even a palindrome. That drives me as bananas as the fact that onomatopoeia is not actually an onomatopoeia.

Second, Palindrome Week is not actually a week; it’s 10 days. For a holiday and time of year that supposedly brings about balance, this is an off-kilter way for it to be marketed.

Also, does the date really have an effect on one’s mindset? On March 4, I do not find myself lifting my knees to march forth. In fact, on a crisp March morning, I’m pretty content grabbing a blanket and curling rather than marching.

Perhaps I’m the Scrooge of Palindrome Week, but I think it’s just because of all the missed potential. There is a serious lack of playful palindroming in this most unfestive of faux holidays. Think of all the joy these 10 days could bring if we all embraced the palindromes in our lives.

Day One: kayak.

Day Two: Make a moral palindrome choice: Borrow or rob? Then act on it. (Note to the police officers: It would be swell if those who opt to rob on Palindrome Day Two could get off with a warning.

Thanks.)

Day Three: Put ears and whiskers on our cars and wheels on our cats, forcing us to ask the palindrome question of the day: Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Day Four: Call your palindrome parent: Mom. Day Five: Try making your own palindrome delicacy: UFO tofu.

Day Six: Celebrate the arts and high theater in a day honoring your love for Rome: Amore Roma!

Day Seven: Either tsk-tsk or high-five, depending on your personal views, the sinner palindromites in your life: Dennis, Nell, Edna, Leon, Nedra, Anita, Rolf, Nora, Alice, Carol, Leo, Jane, Reed, Dena, Dale, Basil, Rae, Penny, Lana, Dave, Denny, Lena, Ida, Bernadette, Ben, Ray, Lila, Nina, Jo, Ira, Mara, Sara, Mario, Jan, Ina, Lily, Arne, Bette, Dan, Reba, Diane, Lynn, Ed, Eva, Dana, Lynne, Pearl, Isabel, Ada, Ned, Dee, Rena, Joel, Lora, Cecil, Aaron, Flora, Tina, Arden, Noel and Ellen sinned.

Day Eight: Call the other palindrome parent: Dad. Day Nine: Impart some palindromian existential wisdom on your friends: Never odd or even.

Day 10: Congratulations! You survived Palindrome Week! Time to reward yourself with an epic party booby trap!

Move over, Mardi Gras. You may have beads, but we have tacocats who won’t let you leave. (Don’t worry, animal lovers. Palindrome Week has a strict step on no pets policy.

I’m looking at you, 2018. My mid-August had better be filled with solo gigolos.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Q&A: Spending Oversight Q: What drives your relentless grip on the federal purse strings?

A: Like many Iowans who grow up in households that don’t spend beyond their means, I understand the need to pinch pennies. Reckless spending goes against the grain of a heritage rooted in Midwestern fiscal discipline. This philosophy has shaped how Iowans conserve natural resources and spare financial resources. It also guides my work for Iowans as a taxpayer watchdog.

The Constitution vests Congress with power of the purse, giving authority to representatives of the people to decide how money is raised and spent.

Voting for a tax or spending bill is one step in the process in our system of checks and balances.

After the president signs a measure into law, I work to ensure the tax dollars are collected and spent as intended. With a nearly $4 trillion federal budget, this requires relentless commitment to effectively monitor federal payments. Unfortunately, the federal treasury is too often viewed as a cash cow for wrongdoers who milk the federal funding stream every chance they get. From national defense to federal health care programs, the federal treasury is a bulls-eye for bad actors.

Disregard for hard-earned tax dollars gets my goat no matter which federal agency is targeted or at fault. That’s because each defense, health care, agriculture or transportation dollar that is squandered or not spent

The Scoop U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley as intended rips off taxpayers, deprives a public benefit and undermines the public trust.

Q: Is the Pentagon making strides to fix its bookkeeping flaws?

A: Unfortunately, the Pentagon continues to flunk the most fundamental measure of fiscal stewardship. In fact, it is the only federal agency that has failed to produce a clean audit. And that’s despite the federal law Congress passed in 1990 requiring one from every federal agency, “The Chief Financial Officers Act.” In April, I joined a bipartisan letter to the Secretary of Defense calling upon the Pentagon to comply with the long overdue, mandatory clean audit. In 2010, Congress even gave the Pentagon more breathing room to achieve compliance, setting a new deadline of Sept. 30.

The Defense Department has an obligation to assure the taxpaying public that its investments in our military are being protected against waste, fraud and abuse. As it stands, the public’s confidence has been shaken once again with revelations of fiscal mismanagement by the Pentagon in Afghanistan. The squandering of tens of millions of dollars casts a cloud over the Department of Defense when

America depends on it to spend every dollar as effectively and efficiently as possible for our military readiness and national security. Pentagon officials still are unable to document if a natural gas filling station cost American taxpayers $5.1 million or $43 million.

My oversight of the matter a year ago revealed Pentagon bookkeepers were more concerned about shifting blame and making excuses rather than the issue at hand: sound fiscal stewardship of tax dollars. Another example of fiscal folly this summer revealed the Pentagon wasted as much as $28 million over the last decade on an ill-suited camouflage pattern for the Afghan army. Auditors discovered the Pentagon approved a more expensive forest print that doesn’t work for 98 percent of the desert terrain in Afghanistan.

That’s as bone-headed as cashing one’s paycheck and throwing the money out the window along the interstate corridor between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.

These two audits were carried out by SIGAR, the agency Congress installed to audit federal spending in Afghanistan. It confirms the Pentagon requires an even shorter leash when it comes to fiscal stewardship. That’s why I will continue pressing for the Pentagon to come clean with a clean audit once and for all.

That goes for the entire federal government. Oversight, enforcement and transparency are vital tools to fight fraud and wasteful spending.

Wife with sketchy memory depends on husband for help DEAR ABBY: When my wife was 17 (she’s now 54), she was in a car accident. She and her three friends were high and drunk. She suffered two skull fractures, which have affected her memory. She thinks it’s my job to remind her of things and becomes angry to the point of hitting things when I don’t do it. I feel her schedule is her responsibility. But when I tell her that, she claims I am not being “supportive.” — UNSURE IN THE SOUTH DEAR UNSURE: In successful marriages the division of labor is usually “each according to his ability, each according to his need.” Your wife’s schedule should be her responsibility, and if your wife were irresponsible, I’d agree with you. However, because she suffered a traumatic brain injury, she may be UNABLE to be as organized as you are and NEED your help. That said, “hitting things” when she becomes frustrated is not appropriate, and she needs to find a less threatening and destructive way of venting.

DEAR ABBY: Because our country’s marriage laws recently changed, my partner and I have decided, after 16 years together, to be married. If something unfortunate were to happen to one of us a few years down the road, what’s the proper way to acknowledge our marriage in an obituary?

Technically, we could say, “He is survived by his husband of two years,” but that would discount the 16 years we were together and would have been married had the laws permitted it. But saying that he is survived by his husband of 18 years seems misleading as well.

How can our many years together be honored without being misrep-

resented? — OBITUARY ETIQUETTE DEAR OBITUARY ETIQUETTE: How about this: He is survived by his husband and partner of 18 years.

DEAR ABBY: I have a problem with my family that’s driving me crazy. They are Facebook snobs. I prefer not to join Facebook for personal reasons, and because I haven’t, they don’t keep me up to date regarding special events such as births, family picnics, etc.

They each expect the other ones to notify me, and no matter how often I ask, they’ll say, “Oh, ‘Soand-So’ was supposed to let you know.” It’s not like I am estranged from any of them; it’s just that they keep insisting I should join Facebook, and I’m tired of hearing it. Advice? — NO SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ME DEAR NO SOCIAL MEDIA: There are other ways to communicate online than Facebook. Are you on the internet at all? If you are, you could be notified of events through group email, group chat or group texting. I don’t think it’s fair to expect your relatives to make a special effort to keep you in the loop.

Iowa man found guilty in Mason City double homicide FORT DODGE — A Lake Mills man has been found guilty of killing two people and trying to kill another in Mason City last year.

A jury on Thursday found 31-year-old Peter Veal guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Officers were sent to a Mason City home in November to check reports of a shooting and found the bodies of Caleb Christensen and Melinda Kavars. Prosecutors say Veal shot Kavars and stabbed Christensen to death.

Powerful storms cause damage, flooding in Midwest MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Several hundred people evacuated their homes early Thursday in the small western Wisconsin community of Arcadia as heavy rain sent a creek over its banks.

The waterlogged city was among those affected by more widespread storm damage and flooding in Wisconsin and Minnesota that closed roads and triggered mudslides. Thunderstorms in Iowa produced a possible tornado that caused heavy damage to buildings in a city near the Mississippi River.

In Wisconsin, several hundred people in the Trempealeau County city of Arcadia voluntarily evacuated flooded neighborhoods and the downtown area starting about 2:30 a.m., Mayor Robert Reichwein told The Associated Press. The evacuation included the overnight shift at Ashley Furniture, a major manufacturer in Arcadia, a city of 2,900 people about 45 miles (73 kilometers) north of La Crosse.

Reichwein said Turton Creek overflowed its banks, also flooding the city’s main thoroughfare, Highway 95.

The Red Cross set up a shelter at a church for evacuees.

Disaster proclamation issued for storm-ravaged Iowa counties

AP Photo INKspiration Tattoo Studio, seen in a Thursday photo, suffered damage during Wednesday evening storms in McGregor. Mayor Harold Brooks said a National Weather Service team in the city made an initial assessment that it was an EF-1 twister, which have wind speeds of 86 to 110 mph.

Elsewhere in Wisconsin, a mudslide closed part of Highway 95 near Fountain City.

Numerous roads in Vernon and Buffalo counties were also affected by flooding.

In northern Iowa, powerful storms damaged homes, buildings and crop fields. The National Weather Service said wind gusts to 75 mph and heavy rain were reported Wednesday evening in several locations, and a tornado was

reported 2 miles (3 kilometers) west-southwest of Fort Atkinson. No injuries were reported.

Residents and officials said trees and power lines were knocked down, leaving hundreds of people without electricity. Officials say the city of McGregor was particularly hard hit, sustaining damage to City Hall and several other structures downtown.

Authorities say a semitrail-

er was toppled on Interstate 35 near Hanlontown, and a man was taken to a hospital in Waukon after his barn blew over, pinning him inside.

In Minnesota, officials say mudslides or flooding have made parts of some highways impassable, including Interstate 90 and Highways 16, 26 and 61 in Winona and Houston counties. Forecasters say up to 7 inches (18 centimeters) of rain fell overnight.

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has issued a disaster proclamation for four counties in the northeast corner of Iowa that suffered storm damages.

The governor’s office said Thursday that the proclamation covers Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette and Winneshiek counties raked by storms Wednesday.

The proclamation allows state resources to be used to aid in recovery efforts.

It also activates the Iowa Individual Assistance program for qualifying residents of the four counties. The program provides grants of up to $5,000 for households with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level. The money can be used for such things as home and car repairs, temporary housing expenses or replacement of clothing or food.

Special-education services in Iowa may expand after ruling DES MOINES (AP) — A judge’s ruling could expand special-education services to thousands of Iowa students.

Administrative Law Judge Christie Scase recently ordered the Iowa Education Department to reimburse an Urbandale couple more than $1,000 for private tutoring they provided after their child was denied special-education programming at school.

Court documents didn’t name the family.

An independent eval-

uation in 2014 showed their child may have dyslexia, but the family struggled to have her qualify for special education services.

Another evaluation

by University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics strongly recommended the girl receive an individualized learning plan, but one was never put in place. The plan outlines how a special education student will be accommodated and includes learning goals.

Scase wrote in her de-

cision that the department should revisit its policies on determining who qualifies for special education. She said the state shouldn’t require students to be severely behind his or her peers before recognizing a disability.

It’s possible that thousands more Iowa students could qualify for special education if the department were to alter its eligibility rules, said Randy Califf, vice president of the advocacy group Decoding Dys-

lexia Iowa.

“We are hopeful (that any) new rules and procedures will allow for inclusion of children before they fall off the charts, so to speak,” he said. “Ideally, processes would take into consideration a student’s capacity to learn as a factor.”

When determining if

a student qualifies for special education, Iowa schools consider many factors, including how a student responds to education and how his or her performance compares to what is expected in the student’s age group or grade, said Staci Hupp, a spokeswoman for the department.

“Our approach to

special education in Iowa has been to not solely focus on labels or diagnoses, but rather on what kids need to succeed in school,” Hupp said.

The state Education Department is appealing the case in U.S. District Court, seeking a declaration that its rules comply with federal law.

Holy Trinity in Newton welcomes Lori Ruge-Jones home Sunday Newton native, the Rev. Lori Ruge-Jones will return home to Newton and Holy Trinity Lutheran Church July 23. Ruge-Jones, a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, will preach at Holy Trinity’s 10:30 a.m. worship service Sunday.

Lori and her husband, the Rev. Philip Ruge-Jones, have developed skills in biblical storytelling. She relates that she learns “Bible stories by heart for proclamation in worship or other settings. While a campus pastor, I [have] trained dozens of students in this spiritual discipline as well ... I feel strongly about storytelling as a medium for embodying the word, promise, grace, hope, and love of God.” Lori Ruge-Jones plans to introduce the gathered congregation to biblical storytelling during her message Sunday.

Lori Ruge-Jones’ faith was nurtured through the ministry of Holy Trinity. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree (languages) from the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls and her Master of Divinity degree (theology) from Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, St. Paul ,MN (1993).

She was ordained into the Lutheran ministry April 30, 1994. She completed her Doctor of Ministry Degree from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Austin, TexRuge-Jones as, in 2016. She is the daughter of Russ Jones and Shirley Jones.

Currently Lori Ruge-Jones serves as pastor of University Lutheran Church, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the ELCA Campus Ministry presence in Eau Claire, Wis. The church serves students, faculty and staff of the University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley Technical College, a mission partner with Lutheran Campus Ministry.

Lori Ruge-Jones says of her ministry: “God has made me to be a pastor, and I feel particularly called to work with young adults on campus. I have experience with and commitment to young adults and the processes and questions of this time of life. Because I have

my own sense of call and pastoral identity and external affirmation from previous students, I believe this is the area in which I most faithfully use the gifts God has given me for ministry.” (ELCA Rostered Leader Profile; May 1, 2016) Lori Ruge-Jones’ return to Holy Trinity is part of Holy Trinity’s anniversary celebration. The congregation will have their official 60th Anniversary celebration Aug. 5-6. Former Pastor Steve Pannkuk (1996-2002) will bring the anniversary message. Former organist Tom Netzel will provide the musical accompaniment for both the Saturday 5 p.m. service at the Newton Arboretum & Botanical Center and the Sunday 10:30 a.m. worship service at the church, 1409 S. Eighth Ave., E. in Newton.

The dates for the 60th Anniversary celebration coincide with the date of Holy Trinity’s first scheduled worship Aug. 4, 1957, at the Aurora Heights School in Newton.

Again, the community is invited to gather with members and friends of Holy Trinity this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. to hear Lori Ruge-Jones, and for the 60th Anniversary celebration weekend, Aug. 5-6.

You’ve decided to sell your home.

So, how long can you expect it to be on the market?

While statistics gathered from realtor.com reveal that the average house sells in around 65 days, each house is different. We’ve all heard of houses selling in less than a week. Realistically, however, there are three major factors that weigh in on the length of time it will take to sell your house — location, condition and price.

People typically choose a house in desirable neighborhoods — safe, close to good schools and shopping, and ease of commuting. Your realtor can tell you if you live in a desirable area where the demand for housing is high. If you live in such a location your house should sell in a relatively short time, if, of course, the other factors — condition and price — are met.

Which brings us to condition. Buyers today want

a home that’s move-in ready.

Generally, only those with construction experience are willing to deal with structural issues like walls, floors or windows that need repair.

Electrical wiring must be upto-date, and plumbing must be in good working order, and in many cases, potential buyers want paint and floor covering to be updated, as well. Outdoors, make sure your lawn is mowed, shrubs and trees trimmed, and exterior paint is fresh.

Pricing, any realtor will tell you, is critical. If your asking price is too high, your home will obviously take longer to sell, and you’ll probably have to accept a lower bid in the end. Additionally, if your neighborhood is full of homes for sale, selling yours could take longer.

And while houses sell at any time of year, they sell faster in summer, when weather is more conducive to moving and before a new school year starts in fall.

Seven area athletes earn all-district softball honors

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Seven area softball prep athletes earned all-district honors recently after stellar seasons on the diamond.

In Class 1A, Colfax-Mingo’s Amy Russell and Ries Wilson and Lynnville-Sully’s Brenna Lanser were all honored in the Class 1A South Central District, while Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Abbey Kahler and freshman Mikayla Houge landed on the 2A Northeast District team.

Alex Bowman to replace Earnhardt Jr. in 2018 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the replacement he wanted. Alex Bowman got his dream job.

Hendrick Motorsports announced Thursday that the 24-year-old Bowman will replace one of the series’ biggest stars in the No. 88 car next season after Earnhardt retires.

Bowman has big shoes to fill. Earnhardt was named NASCAR’s most popular driver each of the last 14 seasons and fans of his late father often tracked Junior’s results following Dale Earnhardt’s fatal crash in the 2001 season opener at Daytona.

“Ever since I was a kid, racing is all I’ve wanted to do,” Bowman said. “I’ve had so many people believe in me along the way. My family has sacrificed a lot and always been behind me. I would never have this chance without the support of Dale and everyone involved with the No. 88 team. To be part of Hendrick Motorsports and for Mr. Hendrick to have this confidence in me, it’s just amazing.”

Bowman already has some experience in this job. When the 42-year-old Earnhardt missed 18 races because of a concussion last season, Bowman started 10 of them in the No. 88, winning the first Cup pole of his career and finishing in the top 10 three times.

That was enough to get Earnhardt’s attention and an endorsement in May. “Alex Bowman to the 88 next year — is that what you guys want?” Junior asked during a livestream on Peri-

scope following the series’ All-Star race. “That would be pretty awesome to see Alex in that car. That’s the plan, I hope. . Yeah, Alex in the 88.

That sounds good to me. That kid earned it last year. He ran good.”

The 24-year-old Bowman performed well enough to get several full-time offers to drive in the Cup series this year.

Instead, he stayed patient.

Bowman said he turned down each offer as he continued searching for the right situation. The Tucson, Arizona, native wound up with no fulltime ride in 2017.

But with Earnhardt’s concussion history, Bowman likely knew it wouldn’t be long until he stepped away. Rick Hendrick’s team contemplated its options for months before finally deciding bring back Bowman, who also got a 19-race majority sponsorship from the Nationwide insurance giant. Axalta Coating Systems will sponsor the No. 88 for 15 races.

In 81 career Cup starts and 50 career starts in the Xfinity Series, Bowman has never won a race. But he had 13 topfive finishes and won three poles on the Xfinity circuit before blossoming in Earnhardt’s car last season.

“Alex impressed us last year with his talent, poise and professionalism,” Hendrick said. “He stepped up in a very demanding situation and showed that he can run with the best and compete for wins.

His ability to stay focused

through it all, and the way he’s handled himself since then, has shown a lot of character.”

Bowman joins a series that is clearly in transition.

With television ratings and attendance sagging and three major stars — Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Earnhardt — retiring since 2015, Bowman will become yet another prominent fresh face in a series that currently has five drivers who are in their 20s in the top 15.

The announcement comes two days before Earnhardt attempts to qualify for his final Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis. The race is scheduled to be run Sunday.

An All-American start to the British Open SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — The wind off the Irish Sea pushed away the rain clouds and bathed Royal Birkdale in sunshine, Stars and Stripes.

The British Open began Thursday with an All-American flavor.

Jordan Spieth, chomping away on gum as he watched one putt after another pour into the center of the cup, worked some bunker magic of his own late in the round to keep his card filled only with birdies and pars for a 5-under 65.

U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka, with no competition and barely any practice since capturing his first major a month ago, ran off three straight birdies and holed a tough shot from a pot bunker for eagle on the par-5 17th hole for a 5-under 65.

Joining them was Matt

Kuchar, who first endeared himself to these British fans as a 19-year-old amateur in 1998 at Royal Birkdale.

Kuchar tied the course record with a 29 on the front nine, only to fall into a routine of pars the rest of the way. He still shot 65, his best score ever in a major.

They had a one-shot lead over Paul Casey and Charl Schwartzel on a day that started nasty and ended with 39 players breaking par.

The biggest question after

a long day on the links was what was in store for Friday, when high wind and occasional showers were in the forecast.

“I thought today’s round was extremely important, as they all are,” Spieth said, atop the leaderboard at a major for the first time since last year’s Masters. “But given the forecast coming in, I thought you really needed to be in the red today. You can certainly make up ground in a round tomorrow, and we’ll

see it happen. But being able to kind of play with shots, or play a little more conservative because you don’t try to do too much on a day like tomorrow, that’s nice and very helpful.”

Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy fall into that category.

Johnson, the No. 1 player who hasn’t played the weekend at a major since the British Open last year, managed only one birdie on a decent day for scoring and shot 71.

McIlroy also shot 71 and was relieved. Coming off three missed cuts in his last four events, he was 5 over through six holes when his caddie gave him a pep talk.

McIlroy closed with three birdies over the last four holes to stay in the game.

Iowa State adds ODU’s Zoran Talley as grad transfer AMES (AP) — Iowa State has added Zoran Talley, last season’s Conference USA Sixth Man of the Year, as a graduate transfer.

The Cyclones announced Thursday that Talley, a 6-foot-7 forward who averaged 11.3 points in 201617 for Old Dominion, will join the team after he graduates in August.

Talley redshirted as a freshman for the Monarchs before playing two seasons. He will have two years of eligibility for Iowa State.

The addition of Talley, along with fellow graduate transfers Hans Brace and Jeff Beverly, is designed to help the Cyclones rebuild next season without falling too far down the Big 12 standings.

Iowa State (24-11) lost four senior starters to graduation after winning the Big 12 Tournament last season.

Freeze resigns as Ole Miss football coach after five seasons

By David Brandt The Associated Press

Matt Crafton wins on dirt at Eldora, ends victory drought

ROSSBURG, Ohio (AP) — Matt Crafton’s time racing on dirt tracks over the past year paid off at Eldora Speedway.

Matt Crafton won the Eldora Dirt Derby on Wednesday night for his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory in more than a year.

The two-time series champion passed Stewart Friesen with 17 laps to go in the 150-lap race and won by 1.96 seconds in ThorSport Racing’s No. 88 Toyota. Crafton won for the first time since May 2016 at Charlotte.

Crafton bought a dirt modified

car and had been running it at different places including Eldora, the half-mile that is owned by three-time NASCAR Cup champion Tony Stewart.

“It has helped a lot, learning what the truck does and seeing what spots to pass,” Crafton said after ending a 27-race drought.

“Previously, I didn’t know what I was looking at but I just kept studying and studying.”

Crafton’s previous best finish at Eldora was eighth in the first race in 2013. He has 14 career series victories.

Crafton also won the first

40-lap stage after passing Friesen with seven laps to go.

Friesen won the second stage, which was 50 laps. A Canadian with dirt-track experience, Friesen started from the pole, led a race-high 93 laps and finished a career-best second in a Chevy.

Chase Briscoe was third in a Ford, Grant Enfinger fourth in a Toyota and John Hunter Nemechek fifth in a Chevy.

Series points leader Johnny Sauter was involved in an early wreck and finished 23rd. He has a seven-point lead over Christopher Bell.

O.J. Simpson granted parole in Nevada LOVELOCK, Nev. (AP) — O.J. Simpson was granted parole Thursday after more than eight years in prison for a Las Vegas hotel-room heist, successfully making his case for freedom in a televised hearing that reflected America’s enduring fascination with the former football star.

All-District Continued from Page 1B Three Raiders earned all-district honors.

Coach Houge was named district coach of the year after guiding the Raiders to their second straight Heart of Iowa Conference title. CMB (26-6) spent every week in the 2A rankings and was ranked No. 1 to start and end the season.

Houge’s oldest daughter, Mikayla, was one of the best pitchers in 2A this season.

Mikayla Houge was the only pitcher in 2A with more than 10 starts to go undefeated in the circle. She finished 15-0 with an ERA of 0.97, which ranked third in 2A. Houge also struck out 148 batters in

Open Continued from Page 1B that has happened in a major in five years, and shot 73.

Kuchar was the only one at 65 who played in the afternoon. The wind remained strong, though the course was manageable for everyone who stayed out of bunkers and deep grass and who holed putts.

“I watched some of the golf this morning on TV. It looked awfully challenging,” Kuchar said. “It looked like anything under par was going to be a good score. Seemed like the later your tee time, the better draw you got. ... For me, to start my British Open with a 29 on the front nine is a great way to start.”

Charley Hoffman had the best start of all, holing out from the rough on the daunting opening hole for an eagle. He was poised to join the leaders when he reached 5 under with a birdie on the 15th, only to drop shots on

have served the minimum of his nine-to-33-year sentence for a bungled attempt to snatch sports memorabilia he claimed had been stolen from him.

During the more than hourlong hearing on live TV, Simpson was, by turns, remorseful, jovial and defensive, heatedly insisting the items taken in the armed robbery were “my stuff.”

At one point, the murder defendant in the 1995 “Trial of the Century” set off a storm of sarcasm and incredulity on social media when he said: “I’ve basically spent a conflict-free life, you know.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” Simpson said quietly as he buried his head on his chest with relief.

94 innings.

Mikayla Houge was the Raiders’ top hitter, finishing with an average of .421. She finished with two home runs, 27 RBIs and 11 doubles.

Kahler, who will play for Wartburg College next season, got off to a slow start at the plate but picked it up as CMB closed in on another HOIC title. She finished with a .337 batting average, three home runs and 32 RBIs. In the circle, Kahler finished 10-6 with an ERA of 2.06. She struck out 137 batters in 97 1/3 innings pitched.

PCM bounced back with an impressive 2017 season.

The Mustangs finished tied for second in the HOIC and played one of the toughest schedules in 3A.

Vos and Jennings were at the forefront of the season.

And both will play for the DMACC Bears next season.

Vos led the Mustangs (1713) at the plate with a batting average of .472. She scored 39 runs, stole 18 bases and had 18 RBIs. Her on base percentage was .521.

Jennings was the second-best hitter for the Mustangs with an average of .416.

She scored 15 runs and hit two home runs with 22 RBIs. Jennings was the team’s No. 1 pitcher. She was 13-9 on the season with an ERA of 1.87.

She struck out 139 batters in 142 1/3 innings pitched.

the next two holes. Hoffman shot 69 and was in a group that included Ian Poulter and Rafa Cabrera Bello.

Defending champion Henrik Stenson, who played with Spieth, had a 71. Stenson also played with Spieth the first two rounds of the 2015 Masters that the Texan won wireto-wire and knew what to expect.

“He was rolling it superbly that week, and I don’t think it was that far behind today,” Stenson said.

But his best shot was with his feet in the sand. Spieth was in thick rough to the right of the 16th fairway when his shot crept into the back of a pot bunker. Not only was the ball on a slight slope, the rake marks left his ball between two ridges.

“This is dangerous,” he said to his caddie.

He aimed to the right of the hole to avoid it going off the green on the other side and into another bunker, and it came off perfectly about 10 feet away.

“That was awesome,” were his next words to his caddie.

He made the par putt — Spieth made a lot of putts on picked up a two-putt birdie on the 17th and narrowly missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the last. It was his best start in a major since he shot 66 at the Masters a year ago. Spieth rated it among the top five or six rounds he has ever played in a major, not bad for someone who came close to the Grand Slam two years ago.

“I couldn’t have done much better today,” he said.

Royal Birkdale was much more kind than it was nine years ago in raging wind and rain. The 146th Open began in cool temperatures, a light rain and a strong wind. Mark O’Meara, a winner at Royal Birkdale in 1998 who is playing in his last British Open, hit the opening tee shot.

And then he hit another one.

O’Meara’s first shot was lost in the gorse, he made a quadruple-bogey 8 and was on his way to an 81.

Mississippi football coach Hugh Freeze was at Jackson Country Club on Wednesday night, giving his yearly rah-rah speech about the Rebels’ overcoming adversity and getting ready for the season.

Less than 24 hours later, he resigned.

Ole Miss announced Freeze’s resignation Thursday night, bringing a stunning end to a fiveyear tenure that saw a Sugar Bowl victory, but also a wide-ranging NCAA investigation into rules violations.

Assistant Matt Luke has been named the interim coach. A press conference was scheduled for late Thursday. A reason for his resignation was not immediately given.

The Rebels had a quick rise under Freeze, recruiting at a high level and reaching an apex with a Sugar Bowl victory over Oklahoma State following the 2015 season.

But an NCAA investigation — alleging 21 charges of academic, booster, and recruiting misconduct — has overshadowed much of that success, especially over the past year. The school has already self-imposed several penalties, including a one-year postseason ban for this season.

Freeze — who was making more than $5 million per year — had a 39-25 record over five seasons, including a 19-21 mark in the Southeastern Conference.

The 47-year-old Freeze’s shocking exit — just a few weeks before preseason camp begins — completes a stunning fall for a coach considered one of the profession’s rising stars a few years ago.

Freeze took over after Houston Nutt was fired during a miserable 2011 season that ended with a 2-10 record. Ole Miss immediately improved under Freeze, finishing 7-6 in 2012 and winning the Birmingham Bowl.

The Rebels continued to surge on the field and on the recruiting trail over the next several seasons. They signed some of the nation’s top recruits in 2013, including defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, receiver Laquon Treadwell and offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil. They helped push the program to eight wins in 2013, nine in ‘14 and a 10-3 record in ‘15.

But Ole Miss’ newfound ability to recruit at a high level drew the attention of the NCAA, which was already investigating the school for a handful of violations that occurred during Nutt’s tenure.

The school has received two Notice of Allegations letters from the NCAA over the past two years.

Astrograph

The ego gets as hungry as the stomach or heart, but it craves different food. The ego finds sustenance in attention, admiration and conquest. Just as the cravings of the stomach shouldn’t always be indulged, the ego becomes sick when it gets all it wants. The last day of the Cancer sun this year calls for moderation in this regard.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 21). A better work/life balance is the aim and you’ll find it this year. You are poised to create powerful and positive relationships. The next seven weeks bring an intensive study. You’ll trade your work and charm for good fortune in September.

Re-invest a financial bonus in November -- this one could be your legacy. Capricorn and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 49, 22, 1 and 7.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

People have different paces, and those with a slower pace than yours (most people) will trigger impatience. The biggest challenge of the day will be keeping impatience in check.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You might be surprised what causes other people stress.

You’ll get a glimpse of it if you’re paying attention.

Someone dealing with things beyond your knowledge will

be trying to act normal around you today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

To fall in love is to be lucky and unlucky at the same time.

Love is risk. As in most all gambling, if you stay in long enough, sooner or later the house will win. But if the game is fun to, you’ll find it worthwhile even when you’re losing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Remember that change is the only constant. Whatever’s going on now, for better or worse, it’s not going to last. So why not be strong through it? You want to look back and be proud of yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are people you trust so wholeheartedly, if they were ever to

let you down, you’d instantly forgive them and blame yourself. This is a closeness you feel with some of the people you’re dealing with today. It’s a secure feeling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your circumstances are where you are, not who you are.

Some environments are harder to escape than others. Today you’ll have to wriggle and fight to unclench the talons that hold you in a place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s quality over quantity in most things today, but in order to work out that math problem you need intimate knowledge of your values. Focus on your own life, happiness and vision; consider what you like about being you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Absurdly, life constantly demands that you simultaneously embrace and detach from it.

Whether you march forward, stumble forward or fall forward, “forward” comes. The thing about life is, it goes on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Take your ideas to many people. The general public will have ideas that you’ll have to weigh carefully. But a good friend can get you going in ways and directions you wouldn’t have thought to travel, much to your benefit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No one knows what’s in the head and heart of another, and yet you feel you have a pretty good idea of it in regard to your nearest and dearest.

Still, seek confirmation before

acting on what you merely suspect to be true.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While there are popular notions, there isn’t one single meaning that intrinsically exists. Yours is as good as anyone’s! Go on and construct the meaning that works best for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Children are often more outwardly concerned with who they sit next to than adults are.

It’s because they, like you, are wise to the fact that you can have a totally different experience sitting next to a preferred someone.
