Former councilman Price to fill at-large seat in interim

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Former Newton City Council member Jeff Price has been tapped to fill the vacated at-large city council seat. Price was selected by current council members in a blind vote at the start of Monday’s regular meeting.

Twelve candidates submitted their names to fill the seat left open by departing council-

woman Lin Chapé. Price received the required four votes from city council and was immediately approved and sworn in by Mayor Mike Hansen.

Also in the vote were candidates Marvin Morris, Noreen Otto, Jim Sparks, Ben Miller, Russell Terlouw, John Prater, Ryan Starn, Garfield Berndt III, Ronald Bookout, Matthew Holmes and Maurice E. “Bill” Ward.

Price previously served on the council from 2012 to 2016 representing Ward 1.

“I just thought with the experience I had in the recent years, I had a lot of information on the topics that were already on the table that I could help in the mean time until somebody else got the opportunity to run for the position,” Price said.

TPI celebrates American Wind Week

Hatch Development Group poised to purchase former Hotel Maytag

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A public hearing has been set for the sale of the former Hotel Maytag building. Hatch Development Group brought a $400,000 proposal to the city council on Monday to purchase the building as a part of the rehabilitation project it is currently developing.

The public hearing is scheduled for no less than 30 days prior to the proposed sale date of Sept. 18.

Hatch was first tapped as the preferred developer for the renovation project of the historic

downtown building in May following a comprehensive search of interested parties by the city. Along with Hatch, May-May Ng and Tim Ng are also partnering in the project.

“As a result of our work up until this time, the architectural firm of Walker, Cohen and Lorenzen have completed what is a Part 2 of the restoration and tax credit program,” Hatch Development Principal Jack Hatch said. “We are looking at having tax credits from both the state and federal government.”

Wind power makes Jasper County go

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News The first American Wind Week is here, and things are busier than ever at TPI Composites.

The inaugural event, designed to spread awareness about the benefits of wind power is a nationwide celebration, and at TPI, Jasper County’s largest employer, wind power is more important

than ever.

Wind power is what keeps TPI in business, building sets of 56.9 meter blades for wind turbines for a single customer, General Electric. The blades, which are over half the length of a football field and weigh 22,000 pounds are constructed from a mix of fiberglass and balsa wood, which gives them an incredible amount of strength and flexibility.

Each wind tower, standing at 210 feet tall, costs $2.5 million to build and assemble. Once fully operational, a wind tower is capable of providing power for more than 300 homes.

To celebrate American Wind

Week locally, TPI employees will create a giant banner, as well as do volunteer work within the community to raise awareness about wind power.

More than 1,000 people work at TPI, and every week they build nine sets of three blades, which are then shipped all across North America. Inside TPI’s facility, the sanding dust lies heavy in the air as teams of employees work to complete each of the giant blades.

TPI employees hope that American Wind Week, in it’s inaugural year will raise the profile of wind energy in the United States. They WIND | 3A

Newton Fire Department to fill the boot for MDA

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News Local firefighters will hit the streets Saturday to raise money for a worthy cause.

The Newton Fire Department will participate in the nationwide fundraiser, Fill the Boot, at 9 a.m. to noon.

In previous years, the Newton Association of Professional Firefighters have raised about $2,000 during its annual one-day collection.

For more than 60 years,

firefighters have raised money in their communities to donate to the Muscular Dys-

trophy Association.

NFD firefighter Ryan Volk said the fundraiser is a way for the community to learn more about MDA. “Fill the Boot is a way to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy around the country and that is why our department is heading out locally,” Volk said.

In its third year, firefighters will be at the intersection of West Fourth Street South and First Avenue West with a boot in hand.

organization’s unwavering commitment to MDA has remained strong to this day.

The IAFF raised $100,000 for MDA in 1955, and $1 million in 1970, and fire fighters continue to raise the bar in their fundraising efforts. In 2013, more than 100,000 firefighters participated in Fill the Boot events across the country and raised $26.2 million.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Tuesday, Aug. 8, the 220th day of 2017. There are 145 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon, facing damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal, announced he would resign the following day.

On this date: In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte set sail for St. Helena to spend the remainder of his days in exile.

In 1911, President William Howard Taft signed a measure raising the number of U.S. representatives from 391 to 433, effective with the next Congress, with a proviso to add two more when New Mexico and Arizona became states.

In 1942, during World War II, six Nazi saboteurs who were captured after landing in the U.S. were executed in Washington, D.C.; two others who cooperated with authorities were spared.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed the U.S. instrument of ratification for the United Nations Charter. The Soviet Union declared war against Japan during World War II. In 1963, Britain’s “Great Train Robbery” took place as thieves made off with 2.6 million pounds in banknotes.

In 1968, the Republican national convention in Miami Beach nominated Richard Nixon for president on the first ballot.

In 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew branded as “damned lies” reports he had taken kickbacks from government contracts in Maryland, and vowed not to resign — which he ended up doing.

In 2009, Sonia Sotomayor was sworn in as the U.S. Supreme Court’s first Hispanic and third female justice.

Ten years ago: Space shuttle Endeavour roared into orbit with teacher-astronaut Barbara Morgan on board. Screenwriter-director Mel Shavelson died in Studio City, California, at age 90.

Five years ago: Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi fired his intelligence chief for failing to act on an Israeli warning of an imminent attack days before militants stormed a border post in the Sinai Peninsula and killed 16 soldiers. Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings of the United States became the first three-time gold medalists in Olympic beach volleyball history, beating Jennifer Kessy and April Ross 21-16, 21-16 in the all-American final.

One year ago: A fire and power outage at a Delta Air Lines data center in Atlanta resulted in the cancellation of 2,300 flights over a four-day period. Japan’s 82-year-old emperor, Akihito, expressed concern about fulfilling his duties in a public address that was remarkable for its rarity and its suggestion that he would like to abdicate.

That’s Odd Skunk in bed: Connecticut boy gets stinky wakeup HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut boy got an unpleasant surprise when he awoke to find a skunk in his bed.

Hamden Police say the 13-year-old was awoken in his upstairs bedroom by the skunk, which had climbed into bed with him.

Police say the skunk apparently got into the home when it climbed through a hole in a trash can and a resident brought the can inside. It’s not clear how the skunk found its way into the boy’s bed, but no one was happy about the outcome.

Entertainment Hackers demand millions in ransom for stolen HBO data NEW YORK (AP) — A group of hackers posted a fresh cache of stolen HBO files online Monday, and demanded a multimillion-dollar ransom from the network to prevent the release of entire television series and other sensitive proprietary files.

HBO, which had previously acknowledged the theft of “proprietary information,” said it’s continuing to investigate and is working with police and cybersecurity experts.

In a swaggering five-minute video from “Mr. Smith” to HBO CEO Richard Plepler included in the dump, the hackers used white text scrolling on a black background to deliver an ultimatum. In short: Pay up within three days or see the group, which claims to have stolen 1.5 terabytes of HBO shows and confidential corporate data, upload entire series and sensitive proprietary files.

Specifically, the hackers demanded “our 6-month salary in bitcoin,” and claimed they earn $12 million to $15 million a year from blackmailing

es.

AP Photo A group of hackers posted a fresh cache of stolen HBO files, including some apparently related to the show “Game of Thrones,” online Monday, part of what the purported hacker has claimed is a much larger trove of stolen HBO material.

The dump includes scripts from five “Game of Thrones” episodes, including one upcoming episode, and a month’s worth of email from the account of an HBO programming executive.

organizations whose networks they have penetrated. They said they would only deal directly with “Richard” and only send one “letter” detailing how to pay.

The dump itself was just 3.4 gigabytes — mostly technical data that appears to provide a topography of HBO’s network and to list network-administrator passwords.

It includes what appear to be draft scripts from five “Game of Thrones”

episodes, including one upcoming episode, and a month’s worth of email apparently from the account of Leslie Cohen, HBO’s vice president for film programming.

The network reiterated Monday that it doesn’t believe that its email system as a whole has been compromised.

The video text was written in often flawed but fluent English peppered with misspellings and pop-culture referenc-

The hackers claimed it took them about 6 months to breach HBO’s network.

Their biggest threat appears to be dumping videos of future shows online with their logo “HBO Is Falling” superimposed.

Many of the more than 50 internal documents in the dump were labeled “confidential,” including a spreadsheet of legal claims against the network, job offer letters to several top executives, slides discussing future technology plans and a list of 37,977 emails called “Richard’s Contact list,” an apparent reference to Plepler.

One screenshot labeled “Highly Confidential” by the hackers listed folders such as “Penguin Random House,” ‘’Licensing & Retail,” ‘’Legal,” ‘’International” and “Budgets.”

Another document appears to contain the confidential cast list for “Game of Thrones,” listing personal cellphone numbers and email addresses for actors such as Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Emilia Clark.

Local & State News The proposal has Hatch working to renovate the second through fifth floors into one and two bedroom apartments followed by a restoration of the ballroom into a space for community use and co-working space for tenants in the building. Hatch will also examine upgrading the commercial spaces on the first floor including Midtown Restaurant, the Capitol II Theatre and the open retail spaces.

“If you look at the ground floor of the building, you can see where those store fronts were reduced. All of those will be taken off, all of the store front windows will be replaced, the doors will be replaced,” Hatch said.

nancing had not yet been secured to start on the project.

The city then made the decision to purchase the building last September for $549,000 with the intent of owning for a limited time before a financial investor is selected to complete the renovations.

It conducted a two-part Request for Proposals process beginning in November having companies submit proposals for the historic rehabilitation of the building. Through the proposals, the city attracted developers who were attempting to meet the city’s stated vision of having more than 30 market-rate apartments on the upper floors, a restored ballroom on the second floor and renovated commercial spaces on the first floor.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News As a part of the redevelopment process, the Hatch Development Group brought a $400,000 proposal to purchase the former Hotel Maytag Building to city council on Monday. A public hearing was set for the sale, which is planned for Sept. 18.

period, the city worked to get the building stabilized and ready for redevelopment by doing necessary maintenance and repairs. Work included repairing leaks in the roof, air conditioner

units, a crushed sewer main, leaking steam pipes and completing a comprehensive hazardous materials study, among other repairs.

“Thank you for taking this project on. This is a

huge deal and it is going to be fantastic when you get it done,” councilman Craig Trotter said.

TPI look for support is to maintain the production sales tax. This tax, which gives businesses a break on products and supplies that they buy overseas is critical for a company like TPI, which relies on components purchased abroad to build the blades.

“Without this, our costs would go up,” Leavitt said.

For TPI employee Tammy Farver wind power is important for what it does for the environment, but it’s also important for what it does for her community too.

The Newton resident, clad in a Cardinal Pride

T-shirt stood on the floor of the factory Monday morning and reflected on what TPI has meant to her.

“This is my job,” Farver said. “We’re keeping jobs here, it’s nice that good paying jobs are here in Newton, close to home.”

Farver worked at Maytag, working on the Neptune line before the factory closed in 2007.

After a year riding motorcycles and taking time off, she started at TPI in 2008, making her one of the longest tenured employees at TPI, which will celebrate its ninth anniversary this month.

At TPI Farver said she feels like she’s part of something bigger than herself, as she does the final checks on each blade, sanding out the remaining rough spots and applying the finish decals.

She also knows that she’s doing something that’ll have a lasting impact on the world.

“We have to do this.

We need to go green,” Farver said. “It’s just so much better for the environment, you feel like you’re really contributing.”

Busy bees

s the month of August rolls around, I know that about every area of my life is going to become busier. From Old Settlers kicking off the month to state fair time and then back to school and extra activities, our family calender gets filled up in a hurry.

An annual favorite, Old Settlers is such a fun time to spend with my family and friends. To start events, my girls participated in the kiddy parade Friday evening decked out in farm gear, including painted on freckles. They pulled a handmade barn full of farm animals created by my mom and waved to the crowd like pros. For their efforts, they received second place for theme.

The rest of the evening was spent riding carnival rides, eating tasty

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson food and watching a little of a greased pig contest. We were up bright and early the next day for the running races. The girls must have eaten their Wheaties because they both placed in their race earning a few quarters as a prize.

Other Old Settlers special activities were up next with the coin toss and the frog jumping contest. The girls made out like bandits and we even won our first frog jumping contest with a speedy little guy who now gets to live in our crick.

That afternoon the girls performed their dance numbers and spent a little more time on the rides while their cousins were in town. We had a little bit of downtime for dinner before we went to the parade.

The parade didn’t disappoint with more than 40 minutes of floats, tractors and other attractions, not to mention the bucket full of candy we came home with. To cap off the evening, we were once again back at the rides, much to the girls’ delight. They went up and down the slide more times than I can count, rode one pirate ship several times and found their way through the maze.

To say Old Settlers is a good time had by all would be an understatement and I know the girls are already looking forward to next year.

Next up to bat for us is a visit to the Iowa State Fair. Our oldest is dancing for the first time on stage with her dance studio, so along with visiting the animals and getting our fill of fried food, we get a little extra entertainment from on of our favorite dancers.

A couple of weeks later it is time for school and dance to start. We have been prepared for school for a couple

of weeks, having found the perfect backpacks at the Disney store while on vacation, Ariel for the oldest and Rapunzel for the youngest and we bought school supplies in July.

My favorite part of back to school, clothes shopping, is also moving along. I have picked up a few things here and there for the first few weeks of school, but since the majority of the year is spent during the cold weather months, I am trying to wait a little while before stocking up for the long haul.

To cap off activities, my youngest will celebrate her fifth birthday with a pool party with all of her friends.

Planning has started and we picked a Hawaiian Luau theme with invitations to be sent out soon.

Sometimes it feels like we never have any downtime but having fun and experiencing activities with the kiddos is definitely worth it.

A slap (or not) from my pop When I was a kid, and I did something wrong, I got punished.

But Pop had standards.

Sometimes, I’d do something bad and instead of giving me a quick clip on the side of the head the old man would just look at me for a second or two.

“I’m not gonna punish you,” he’d say. “It had to be a mistake because nobody would do anything this stupid on purpose.”

It was a neat little distinction and it’s the reason why, even today, I believe most people don’t go to hell.

I worked out that little bit of theology while I was lying in bed in the old house we rented, the one where, on cold mornings, the water in the toilet was sometimes covered with a thin skim of ice. We had heat, but there was only one register on the second floor, where my parents and I slept. My 90-pound boxer dog, Joey, slept on the heat register, which was a cast-iron grate set into the floor between my parents bedroom and mine. It was an old house.

Those nights, after Pop hadn’t punished me, I’d lie on my back in bed, feeling grateful. Sometimes I’d lie awake for a while because both the dog and the old man snored. The old house was small and my parents’ room and the dog’s spot on the heat register were very close to my bed.

Those memories come from the early 1960s, some of them before President John F. Kennedy was killed, certainly before we lost the war in Vietnam, when ethnic white people still lived mostly in cities, and there were enough nuns around to staff a Catholic school in every neighborhood.

Just after that, and mostly because of Vietnam, and integration, and women’s rights, the liberal/ conservative war started, and it continues to this day, a war across the decades that has burned and blackened and tore apart every quiet side street in the country.

We shouted, “Everybody must get stoned,” and “Power to the people.” The first one stuck and the second one didn’t.

We elected Nixon, and Johnson, and Carter, and Reagan, and Clinton, and two Bushes, and Obama and, finally, Trump. There’s a good chance none of them should have been president, and, to me, they represent a downward path with one hysterically bad decision at the end. Not one of them advanced the cause of this nation in any way. By the time I hit the hospital, and the doctor is telling my wife to turn the machine off, Kid Rock will probably be president.

This is what America must have been like in the decades before the Civil War, when no one could escape the argument.

And finally it becomes clear that you cannot ease out from under the punishment, that what you did was not just stupid, but willful and wrong.

Want to improve your diet?

Plant a fruit tree

Homegrown trees provide free, convenient fruit in season without requiring a trip to the store.

One of the simplest ways to improve your family’s diet? Plant a fruit tree. Or plant several.

The last time I was fortunate enough to have a yard, I planted four of them. Unfortunately, I broke up with my then-boyfriend and moved out right about the time all four began producing fruit.

Fortunately, however, I landed just a few blocks away, in a small apartment complex with nine fruit trees planted on the property: pomegranate, grapes, figs and several varieties of citrus. My first goal was to find out who was eating the fruit… and how much of it they’d share with me.

The answer was all good news.

The neighbors only really ate the oranges and a few of the lemons and figs. The rest was mine.

Mature fig trees can produce an incredible number of figs.

After the effort you expend to plant the tree, almost no work is required apart from picking and eating figs once a year.

I’ve since moved to a different part of that town, but I still show up to pick figs every summer. This summer, I’ve already picked over 25 pounds, made two batches of jam, eaten countless figs myself, and shared plenty more with friends.

Meanwhile, another friend with blackberry brambles has more blackberries than she knows what to do with. We’ve arranged to trade berries for figs.

In the cases of both figs and berries, there’s nothing like eating fruit ripe from the vine. You can allow the fruit to fully ripen before picking it, because — un-

Another View Jill Richardson like the supermarket — you don’t need to worry about it keeping for days while it’s shipped across the country.

While homegrown lemons and limes are no more ripe than the ones from the store, I love the convenience of picking a lemon when I need it for a recipe instead of having to remember to get it from the store ahead of time.

Of course, most of the country can’t grow the citrus and tropical fruits we’re blessed with here in San Diego. But wherever you live, you can grow something, and local nurseries will have appropriate trees for your area.

Colder climates are often known for their berries and apples.

Other perennials like rhubarb and asparagus can feed you year after year as well, with little work after they’re planted.

Gardening can be time consuming, and it can require expertise. It certainly requires enough planning and forethought to get the right seeds in the ground at the right time each year. Then there’s weeding and watering on top of that.

Fruit trees, on the other hand, are an easy source of free, fast food after you do the initial legwork to pick a variety that thrives in your area and plant it in a location that suits it.

They are a gift that keeps on giving. If you move out of your house, they continue giving to whoever moves in next. My ex was the beneficiary of the four trees I planted. He recently moved out, and the new tenant is getting all the goodies. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.

Gym client vents her anger at bad-mouthing by trainer

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I work out at the same gym. Over the past several months it has gotten back to me that one of the trainers, “Bob,” has been talking negatively about me to some of the other members.

My boyfriend works out with another trainer there, and during his workout, I approached him and his trainer and expressed my anger about what Bob was doing. I said I was fed up and that I wanted to confront him.

My boyfriend told me to keep my mouth shut and say nothing. He said I shouldn’t take it personally, that Bob is just being a hater. He also said the person who told me shouldn’t have. I disagree. I don’t think it matters how it got back to me — it did!

Last week, while his regular trainer was away, my boyfriend trained with Bob! I feel it was disloyal, but he disagrees. He thinks I should just let it go. What do you think? — GYM DILEMMA DEAR GYM DILEMMA: Because the bad-mouthing has happened more than once, talk to the manager of the gym about what’s going on. Bob may not like you, but that doesn’t give him the right to make the gym an unpleasant place for clients to visit. If your boyfriend were loyal, he would have told Bob to knock it off. And he would not have worked out with him when his regular trainer was away; he would have chosen someone else.

DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law lives in another state, so she often mails my daughter’s gifts to us after she buys the items online. Then she expects me to wrap them. The icing on the cake?

She’s now saying I need to add bows to these gifts, but she doesn’t send any money for the wrapping paper or bows.

I think this is very rude. My daughter thinks her aunt takes the time to purchase these gifts, when she’s only pressing a button and that is it. With

everyone shopping online more and more, is this a new trend, to have the parents wrap gifts instead of the person giving them? — ONLINE GIFT GIVING DEAR ONLINE: It’s only a trend if you decide to let it become one.

Feeling as you do, it’s time you had a discussion with your sister-in-law concerning how you feel about this arrangement and what you expect from her.

DEAR ABBY: My wife of 55 years passed away five months ago and I am lonely. How long should I wait before establishing a relationship with another woman?

A certain lady and I go to church together, so we are well acquainted. I never thought about being with her until my wife died. She and my wife were friendly acquaintances.

What is the right time to wait? Six months? A year? I never thought I could be lonely. Well, think again! — READY FOR THE FUTURE DEAR READY: There’s no timetable for grieving. If you feel you are ready for companionship, all you need to do is pick up the phone and call the lady you have in mind. To do that is not disrespectful to your late wife. It’s a tribute to the happiness you experienced being part of a couple.

DES MOINES — Des Moines council members have approved a plan to keep the proposed federal courthouse replacement from being built at the old YMCA site downtown, preserving the property for private development.

The City Council voted Monday for an agreement that would require that Des Moines buy the land from Hubbell Realty Co. for $5.2 million if Hubbell doesn’t develop the land by May 31 next year. Hubbell would withdraw the property from consideration for the courthouse in return.

BURLINGTON — The Burlington city manager says he’s not meeting the city council members’ expectations, so he’ll be stepping down.

Jim Ferneau told The Hawk Eye that he notified council members by email Friday that he intends to leave in October from the post he’s held for more than five years.

He says, “I’m not meeting their desires for what they want to see from management.”

However, he said Monday, three of the five members of the council already have asked him to stay.

Task force Report: Iowa school uses full-body considers wraps, denies mental care tuition changes to Iowa universities DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa school for juvenile offenders subjects the boys to restraints and seclusion rooms and denies them essential mental health care, a federally funded nonprofit organization alleged Monday in a report that threatened legal action unless the state makes significant changes.

Disability Rights Iowa concluded the Boys State Training School doesn’t have enough mental health professionals, locks up children by themselves and restrains them in beds with full-body wraps. It made the assessment after 11 visits to the facility, interviews with 30 residents and a review of records.

The group said the school’s shortcomings were part of larger problems throughout the state’s system for juvenile offenders.

“This is basically the tip of the iceberg,” said Nathan Kirstein, a staff attorney for the organization. “This is not because this is an evil, deviant place, and if we fix it all our problems will go away. This is symptomatic of all the gaps in services along the way for these youths.”

Congress in the 1970s established the disability rights organizations to help ensure states don’t violate the constitutional rights of disabled residents.

The Iowa organization made numerous recommendations for changes in its report and threatened to file a federal lawsuit against Gov. Kim Reynolds, the Department of Human Services administrator and other officials if changes aren’t implemented. After the organization made similar claims in 2013 against the State Training School for Girls in Toledo, then-Gov.

IOWA CITY (AP) — A task force created by the Iowa Board of Regents will begin a series of meetings focusing on how to set tuition levels at the state’s three public universities.

The regents created the Tuition Task Force in response to more than $30 million in state funding cuts to the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa.

The cuts caused the board to increase tuition for the second year in a row. “(Tuition reform) is a significant priority,” said Rep. Cindy Winckler, D-Davenport, the ranking member of the joint Education Appropriations Subcommittee. “We cannot continue to shortchange the universities and pass along the cost of higher education onto Iowa families.”

The board has asked the universities to create a five-year plan to address revenue concerns. The task force is scheduled to hold meetings this month to get public feedback on the financial plans.

“We are looking to have a transparent dialogue,” said Regent Larry McKibben, a former Republican state senator who is leading the task force.

Proposals could include creating tuition tiers that would charge juniors and seniors more tuition than freshmen and sophomores because of more specialized and advanced coursework. Universities may also propose increasing tuition for out of state students to make up for the falling levels of state funding.

University leaders said they hope to provide more opportunities for financial aid to help with the tuition increases.

“As we take our tuition up, clearly we are placing a financial burden on an awful lot of people,” UI President Bruce Harreld said. “Consistent with that increase, we also need to be increasing our student financial aid — both merit as well as needs-based. In our budget models, we’ve already included that.”

AP Photo In this photo provided by the State of Iowa, vehicles are parked outside the entrance to the Arlene Dayhoff Education Complex at the Boys State Training School in Eldora Monday. A federally funded nonprofit organization claims in a report released Monday that the school for juvenile boys held under court order is violating their constitutional rights by not providing essential mental health care and instead relying on restraints and seclusion rooms, and the group is threatening legal action unless the state makes significant changes.

Terry Branstad ordered the institution closed.

School Superintendent Mark Day said he agreed with the report’s call for expanded mental health services but argued that funding limits and a statewide shortage of psychologists and psychiatrists made it difficult to provide more treatment.

“I don’t know of anybody in this field who wouldn’t love to have more psychiatric, psychological, therapeutic services,” Day said. “... There’s an increasing shortage of those folks that are willing to work in a correctional, juvenile mental health facility.”

The State Training School has space for 130 boys aged 12 to 18 and currently has about 100 students, all assigned to the institution by court order for crimes ranging from drug offenses to violent offenses such as murder and assault. The school, which dates to 1873, is in Eldora, a city of 2,700

people about 60 miles north of Des Moines.

Although about 60 percent of the boys at the school take psychotropic drugs, Disability Rights Iowa’s report notes the institution’s sole psychologist isn’t state-certified and that a psychiatrist works part-time on a contract basis.

The report states that from Nov. 1, 2016, to April 30, 2017, nearly threefourths of residents were put in seclusion rooms, with more than half of the stays for more than an hour and 6 percent for more than 24 hours. The group claims that sometimes, students are put in seclusion room as punishment, including for trivial infractions.

It also questioned the use of a restraint called a “wrap,” in which boys are held by straps around their wrists and ankles with a cloth around their body attached with Velcro.

Day responded that restraints and seclusion are

used as little as possible and only to protect boys from abusing themselves.

Disability Rights Iowa called for transferring all students with mental illness or intellectual disabilities to facilities where they can receive proper treatment.

“If there was a kid in a facility like this who had cancer or diabetes, we would certainly hold the state accountable for providing them that care, and it doesn’t matter if your illness happens to be schizophrenia or attention deficit disorder,” said Emily Ehlers, a Disability Rights Iowa attorney.

State officials noted the state is working with an outside expert to make improvement but said the institution was already succeeding.

“We educate kids that no one else in this state has been successful educating,” Day said. “More importantly, we keep kids safe that no else in the state has been able to keep safe.”

Dubuque housing program helps people become homeowners

By Thomas J. Barton Telegraph Herald DUBUQUE (AP) — As a working, single mother of two who was making less than $24,115 per year, Rachel Regan thought home ownership was out of reach.

That was until City of Dubuque leaders set her on the right path. She finds herself today in what essentially is a brand-new house.

“New roof and siding, new insulation and new walls, floors, heat and central air,” said Regan, 25, of her Harold Street home in Dubuque. “It was completely gutted inside and out, and everything is brand new.”

The city launched a campaign about a year and a half ago to promote home ownership and residential development in the Washington Neighborhood, North End and downtown. The city planned to invest $19 million total through 2021 to improve 739 housing units, mainly using state and federal funding.

About $4 million will be invested to buy, rehab and resell abandoned and dilapidated homes and rental structures to provide 100 quality, affordable housing units in Dubuque’s urban core. The goal is to disperse the concentration of low-income rental housing downtown, remove blighted properties, increase affordable housing and promote private reinvestment, city Housing Director Alvin Nash told the Telegraph Herald .

The city has spent more than $2.3 million in the past two fiscal years to improve 89 housing units, and it has provided more than $500,000 in assistance to 43 homebuyers.

In Regan’s case, the two-story, three-bedroom brick home built in 1894 fell into disrepair after being turned into a rental. Termite damage was found on the entire first floor and the joists for the second floor. Deteriorated fascia boards and trusses also were found around the entire house. A basement wall had fallen away from the home, and a retaining wall and water cistern had

Dave Kettering/Telegraph Herald Photo In this July 27 photo, Craig Sharkey, of Dubuque, shows where several inches of water flooded the basement of his home off of White Street after a recent storm. Dubuque launched a campaign about a year and a half ago to promote home ownership and residential development in the Washington Neighborhood, North End and downtown.

collapsed, according to city housing officials.

The city bought the property for about $79,000 last year and spent $128,600 rehabbing the home and removing lead paint.

Regan took advantage of a city home-ownership workshop, where she learned about the property and the city’s efforts. She obtained a mortgage from Dubuque Bank & Trust and purchased the home for $148,000 in June.

She also qualifies for a $40,000 forgivable loan and a $25,000 no-interest loan from the city to put toward purchase costs, financed through federal and state funds the city received.

“My (two) kids are in a safe, quiet neighborhood and love being able to play outside and have a yard and a deck,” said Regan, who previously lived in rental housing. “If it weren’t for them redoing this whole house and informing me of this, I would have had a starter home that needed a lot of work. And now, I’m wor-

ry-free for years to come.”

More than $15 million will be used to provide assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners and renters to remove lead-based paint and other health and safety hazards as well as make other home improvements.

“It’s like someone turned on a spigot,” said Craig Sharkey, 55, of the stormwater that rushed into the basement of his home after a recent storm.

“Usually, my sump pump will handle that, but when we had the power outage with that, in my basement, I had a foot of water down there. That’s the worst I’ve seen it down here.”

Sharkey recently was approved to receive financial assistance through the city’s Bee Branch Healthy Homes program. A facet of the city’s $19 million housing campaign, it provides five-year forgivable loans to qualified homeowners to make repairs to properties that have been damaged by repeated flash flooding.

He said the assistance will help place new gutters and a

new driveway that will help direct stormwater out to the street and into city storm sewers, as well as install floor drains in his basement.

“There’s no way I could do it (without help),” said Sharkey, who is on disability. “I feel like I won the lottery.”

Nash said it is too early to fully assess the success of the efforts, but increased home values in the Washington Neighborhood point to positive results.

The total assessed value of properties purchased and rehabbed by Community Housing Initiatives, which partnered with the city to convert poorly maintained homes, duplexes and apartments into townhomes and single-family homes, increased by $795,000, or about $47,000 per property, according to city records.

On average, CHI homes have sold for about $99,000 compared to an average cost of $75,000 to rehab the properties and $32,000 average purchase price, according to city data.

“We sold our last two or three houses for more than $100,000, which was unheard of two or three years ago,” said David Harris, CHI’s Dubuque coordinator and former city housing director. “Appraised values typically did not support the cost of purchasing and rehabbing a property, but that gap is closing.”

Harris predicts the housing market in the Washington Neighborhood will stabilize within four years, eliminating the need for continued public subsidies.

Over the past four years, CHI has spent $2.7 million, matched by $375,000 in city funds, to purchase, rehab and resell 28 properties. And it recently agreed to extend its partnership with the city to rehab and sell another 20 properties over the next four years, with the city contributing $500,000.

“We have three properties ... all of which were (recently) purchased before they were completed,” Harris said. “I’ve got buyers lining up before we’re done.”

Cardinals power past Royals in I-70 series KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Matt Carpenter likes hitting in the western side of the state.

Carpenter hit a three-run homer in St. Louis’ six-run fourth inning, and the Cardinals beat the Kansas City Royals 11-3 on Monday night for their third consecutive victory.

In 13 games at Kauffman Stadium, Carpenter is hitting .451 with four home runs and 14 RBIs. He led off the game with a double.

“I’ve always thought it’s a good place to hit, but that’s kind of the funny thing about baseball, when you get off to a good start, your confidence is high and that’s the case here,” Carpenter said.

Paul DeJong and Kolten Wong also connected for the Cardinals, who returned to .500 at 56-56. Carlos Martinez (8-9) pitched eight innings of two-run ball for just his second win in his last nine starts.

“I didn’t even know we were back at .500,” said Dexter Fowler, who tripled, walked and scored two runs in his first game back off the disabled list. “At the end of the day, you look at it at the end of the season.”

St. Louis also got some help from Kansas City during its outburst in the fourth. Ian Kennedy (4-8) walked No. 9 hitter Greg Garcia on five pitches with the bases loaded,

AP Photo St. Louis Cardinals’ Matt Carpenter (13) is congratulated by teammate Kolten Wong, back, in front of Kansas City Royals catcher Drew Butera, right, after his three-run home run during the fourth inning of Monday’s game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The Cardinals decked the Royals, 11-3.

and shortstop Alcides Escobar and catcher Drew Butera each committed an error.

Butera made an errant throw while trying to pick off Fowler at third, allowing the speedy center fielder to score.

Five pitches later Carpenter hit a drive to right with Wong and Garcia aboard.

“The whole time I was falling behind guys and the home run just kind of capped it off

as a bad pitch,” Kennedy said.

“You know it’s going to be like one of those back-foot sliders, one that is going to bounce.

Just maybe not a good pitch to him.”

Wong added a two-run shot in the eighth, and DeJong belted his own two-run homer in the ninth.

Kennedy was charged with seven runs, six earned, and six hits in six innings. He is win-

less in 14 consecutive starts at Kauffman since beating the Minnesota Twins on Aug. 20, 2016.

“He had a bad inning,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “In the fourth inning, they unloaded on him.”

Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer and Brandon Moss homered for Kansas City, which has dropped six of eight.

Moustakas has 32 home runs,

four shy of the Royals’ single-season record of 36 set by Steve Balboni in 1985.

Trainer’s Room Cardinals: Fowler missed a dozen games with a strained left forearm. He started the game hitting sixth for the first time in his career. He had batted no lower than third this season.

Royals: C Salvador Perez (right intercostal strain) said there is no timetable on when he could play again. “We’ll wait 10 days and see where we are,” Perez said. He said before going on the disabled list he felt a “little pinch” in his side.

He received a cortisone ejection Sunday.

Piscotty Optioned The Cardinals optioned struggling outfielder Stephen Piscotty to Triple-A Memphis.

After hitting .305 as a rookie in 2015 and belting 22 home runs last season, Piscotty is batting .232 with six homers in 75 games this year.

“I still see some things that indicate that he’s getting close, so hopefully he’ll be able to get it put together quick and we’ll see him back here,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.

Up Next Cardinals: RHP Michael Wacha is 5-1 with a 1.90 ERA in his past seven starts.

Royals: LHP Jason Vargas registered a 7.23 ERA in four July starts after having a 2.22 ERA on June 30.

Javier Baez’s inside-the-park home run helps Cubs beat Giants

Submitted Photo Clint Garner, middle, won the 27th Annual Knoxville 360 Nationals Saturday ahead of Brian Brown, left, and Wayne Johnson, right, at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville.

Veteran driver Clint Garner claims Knoxville 360 Nationals title Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — Clint Garner knows all the grooves and bumps on the Knoxville Raceway dirt track. He has won seven track championships in the 360 sprint car class. The Sioux Falls, S.D., driver is Knoxville’s two-time reigning 360 class track champion, standing second in the 2017 season.

But winning a 360 Knoxville Nationals championship had eluded Garner until Saturday.

After 14 nationals, the veteran driver finally broke through and won the 27th Annual Knoxville 360 Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank.

Garner held off the field to win the 25-lap $15,000 event at the “Sprint Car Capital of the World.”

He won with an engine built by Newton’s Parker Machine and Performance.

The Knoxville Nationals opened last week with the 360 class. This week the 410 class hits the track at Knoxville Raceway.

“It did get to the point where it was the ‘win it or wear it’ moment,” said an emotional Garner in Victory Lane. “This is definitely the biggest win of my career.

I’m so happy, and there are so many people here. A lot of these guys race for a living, and they know how hard I try to keep up with them. They know when I can beat them, it is special.”

Before a lap could be complet-

ed, Friday’s preliminary winner Greg Hodnett spun in turn one to bring out the caution flag. He would restart at the tail, while up front, Garner took the point ahead of two-time event winner Wayne Johnson and Aaron Reutzel. Jamie Ball maneuvered by Reutzel for third on lap two.

Garner used the low side, as he and Johnson separated themselves from the field and entered lapped traffic on the tenth circuit.

A lap later, Brian Brown, who started 12th, was into the top five.

The last caution came with 13 laps in the books.

“I ran the heck out of it. It’s just a guessing game out front. You have no clue where everyone else is going and what’s happening. I wish I could say it’s easy, but it’s so hard to do,” Garner said.

Garner led Johnson, Ball, Reutzel and Brown back to green flag racing. Johnson got a run under Garner at the cone, but was shut down into turn one. That sent him up the track, and Ball got by him for second. Meanwhile, Brown jumped by Reutzel into fourth.

Johnson would use the low side to shoot back by Ball.

Brown would slide in front of Ball on lap 16 to take third. Garner continued his mastery up front on the cushion. Johns on would bobble in the marbles on lap 19, and Brown would reel him in.

While Garner sailed away up front, Brown took second with four laps to go.

“I’m proud to be a working man that races on the weekend.

I’m more proud that I just beat a bunch of professionals,” Garner said “I think we were 12th quick in hot laps and there were a lot of questions flying. There was a gear change that we had to make. I’m so proud of my guys.”

The win was Garner’s 33rd career triumph here in the 360 class, second on the all-time list only to David Hesmer. Brown came home second as the hard-charger, ahead of Johnson, Reutzel and Ball.

Christopher Bell, Sam Hafertepe Jr., Jeff Swindell, Tim Shaffer and Hodnett rounded out the top 10.

Eric Bridger won the 15-lap 305 feature on Saturday. Matthew Stelzer, Kade Higday, Tyler Glass and Ryan Leavitt finished second through fifth.

Brian Brown passed Greg Hodnett on lap 11 and held on to win the sixth annual Weld Racing Capitani Classic presented by Great Southern Bank at Knoxville Raceway Sunday night. The Grain Valley, Mo., driver earned $5,000 for his first Capitani Classic win and his 37th 410 win triumph at the half-mile oval.

The Capitani Classic gave the 410’s one last tune-up for this week’s 57th Annual 5-hour ENERGY Knoxville Nationals. Qualifying races for the 410 class are on Wednesday and Thursday with the preliminary races on Friday.

The 410 nationals final is Saturday.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — As his teammates went crazy celebrating, Javier Baez needed a couple of minutes just to catch his breath after running like mad around the bases.

Baez hit an inside-the-park homer to back Jake Arrieta’s 11th win and Chicago beat the Giants 5-3 on Monday night in the champion Cubs’ first visit to AT&T Park since rallying to eliminate San Francisco in Game 4 of the NL Division Series last October.

“Little League, I guess,” a grinning Baez said about the only time Baez he had done that before.

Baez’s 16th homer took a tricky bounce off the low wall in right-center and deflected past oncoming right fielder Carlos Moncrief nearly 100 feet back in the direction of the corner in right. Moncrief eventually chased down the ball and Baez used a headfirst slide to beat a pretty onehop throw home — “That’s Bo Jackson-arm stuff right there,” quipped Cubs manager Joe Maddon — and catcher Buster Posey’s tag attempt.

“It’s the deepest part of the field so I didn’t know if it was gone or not,” Baez said. “I just think he took the wrong turn off the wall and the ball just went really far from him. I couldn’t see it so I was just trying to run faster.”

The NL Central leaders moved 1 1/2 games ahead of second-place Milwaukee, which lost 5-4 at Minnesota.

San Francisco rookie Ryder Jones hit his first career home run with a two-run shot in the sixth off Arrieta (11-8).

Arrieta hardly felt his best physically, but still struck out five and didn’t walk a batter in 6 1/3 innings. The nine hits he surrendered matched his second-highest total of the year.

“You’re going to have five to seven or eight starts over the course of the year where you don’t feel good physically but that has no bearing on the result,” Arrieta said. “That’s where the mental side of the game really comes into play.”

Wade Davis got three outs for his 24th save in 24 tries.

Jason Heyward scored on Baez’s home run after his two-out single against Matt Moore (3-12).

Moncrief played on a night starter Hunter Pence sat out for scheduled rest.

“The other day we worked on everything, angles coming off of that right-field wall, but that was like the only one we didn’t,” Moncrief said. “I wasn’t really anticipating it to bounce like that. Now I know for next time. Hopefully there’s not a next time.”

It was Baez’s first career inside-the-park homer, and the first by a Cubs player since Anthony Rizzo on June 29 of last season at Cincinnati.

Cyclones counting on JUCO linemen in 2017

NASCAR Photo Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 NOS Rowdy Toyota, celebrates in Victory Lane after winning Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Zippo 200 at The Glen at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, N.Y.

Kyle Busch wins Xfinity Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — If Kyle Busch seemed to take a bit longer to take his customary bow after a NASCAR victory, it was understandable. It’s nice to savor milestone victories.

Busch recovered from a spinout and a pit road penalty and survived a late restart to win the Zippo 200 on Saturday, his first triumph at Watkins Glen International in the Xfinity series. It also was the first Xfinity victory at Watkins Glen for Joe Gibbs Racing and the company’s 139th win overall in the series, breaking a tie with Roush Fenway for the top spot.

“It’s been a long time coming. We’ve been so close so many times,” Busch said. “I knew I just had to not screw it up.”

Busch topped the Penske Racing duo of Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski and easily beat them on a restart with three laps to go for his 90th series win.

Watkins Glen International and Pocono were the only tracks currently on the Xfinity schedule where Busch had not won. He’s also won on every track in the Cup series except Charlotte.

Logano was second in his bid to win this race for the third straight time from the pole and Keselowski was third, followed by Justin Allgaier and Paul Menard.

Logano and Keselowski

had dominated the previous two Xfinity races at Watkins Glen. In 2015, Logano led 39 laps, one fewer than his teammate, and they finished 1-2. A year ago Logano led 67 laps, including the final 27, for his second straight victory from the pole.

“Maybe one more restart and one of those green-whitecheckered things would have been nice,” Logano said.

“Overall, to start on the pole and be the runner-up doesn’t always feel good, but we did learn some things for tomorrow.”

Busch started second, quickly passed Logano for the lead and led the first 16 laps before wheel-hopping his No. 18 Toyota and spinning out on the first turn, a 90-degree right-hander that points downhill, on lap 17.

Keselowski won the opening 20-lap stage under caution and gained a big advantage over Busch, who drove through too many pit stalls (four) during his first pit stop and was penalized. He restarted near the back of the 40-car field.

“You’ve just got to get through it, but unfortunately I screwed up early and I got us behind,” Busch said.

“But the guys gave me such an awesome race car that we could make it back up.”

Menard gained the lead on a restart in the second stage and held it for the remain-

der of the segment, holding off bids by Keselowski and Logano with Busch surging back into contention. He was eighth when the third caution flew on lap 34 for oil on the track from Stephen Young’s smoking No. 78 Chevy.

Menard proved stout as he held off the Penske duo but lost the lead in the final stage when he accidentally hit the master fuel switch and the car lost power going uphill.

Keselowski took over the top spot, then dived into the pits with Logano on lap 49 for the final time in the 82-lap race around the 2.45-mile road course.

Logano’s crew had trouble with the right front tire and a long stop dropped him back several spots.

Busch pitted from the lead on lap 54 and rejoined the field about 10 car-lengths in front of Keselowski, but they were far in the rearview mirror of race leader Brendan Gaughan. The suspense ended when Gaughan pitted with just more than 20 laps to go, giving Busch the lead again, this time for good.

Busch lapped points leader Elliott Sadler with seven laps to go and had built a 2.5-second lead when Casey Mears ran out of fuel to bring out the final caution. That set up a three-lap dash to the finish and Busch easily sped away from the Penske duo and won by just more than a second.

AP source: Jay Cutler agrees to terms with Dolphins DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Jay Cutler has decided to postpone retirement for the chance to be Ryan Tannehill’s replacement.

Cutler agreed to terms Sunday on a contract with the Miami Dolphins, a person familiar with the situation said.

The person confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins weren’t expected to announce the deal until Cutler signed the $10 million, one-year deal.

Cutler will compete with Matt Moore for a starting job while Tannehill remains out with a left knee injury that could sideline him for the entire season.

Dolphins coach Adam Gase was offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears when Cutler had a career-best quarterback rating with them in 2015. Gase joined Miami in 2016, and Cutler parted

with Chicago in March after eight seasons.

Cutler, 34, drew little interest in the spring as a free agent, perhaps partly because of his prickly personality and tendency for turnovers.

“I guess I know a different guy than what everybody else portrays,” Gase said in May, when Cutler was hired by Fox as an analyst to work on its No. 2 NFL team.

Tannehill, who missed the final four games of last season with two sprained ligaments in his knee, reinjured it a week into training camp Thursday. The damage is similar to last year’s injury, a personal familiar with the diagnosis said, which has left the Dolphins consulting with specialists to determine whether surgery is the best option for Tannehill.

He’s expected to be sidelined a minimum of six weeks, but the deal with Cutler signals the Dolphins an-

ticipate Tannehill will need a lengthier recovery.

Cutler is 68-71 as a starter with a career quarterback rating of 85.7, 208 touchdown passes and 146 interceptions.

Several NFL starting QBs are older, including New England’s Tom Brady, who just turned 40.

Moore turns 33 next week and has 28 starts in 10 seasons. Last year he helped the Dolphins clinch their first postseason berth since 2008, going 2-1 as a starter to end the regular season before a first-round playoff loss at Pittsburgh.

The Dolphins decided not to pursue Colin Kaepernick, who parted ways with the San Francisco 49ers in March and remains unsigned. Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem at games last season to protest police brutality, and there has been speculation he’s unemployed because of his politics.

AMES (AP) — One of Iowa State’s biggest questions entering preseason practice was its defensive line.

The Cyclones are hoping to see three junior college transfers emerge as quality Big 12 players as soon as possible.

Iowa State (3-9 in 2016) was hit hard by attrition, losing starters Demond Tucker, Jhaustin Thomas and Mitchell Meyers to graduation.

The Cyclones responded by hitting the transfer market, signing Matt Leo, Ray Lima and Kamilo Tongamoa in the offseason.

Tongamoa hasn’t arrived on campus yet because he’s finishing up academic work.

But coach Matt Campbell said on Monday, when the Cyclones held their first fall practice, that Tongamoa is expected to be in Ames this week.

“It’s not a shock to anyone. We kind of knew this was the situation,” Campbell said.

Counting on junior college transfers to make an immediate impact can be dicey at best — especially at an area as important as defensive line.

Still, Iowa State beat out schools it usually doesn’t beat to land all three of them.

Leo, who will turn 25 on Saturday, grew up in Australia playing rugby before moving to the U.S. to give football a try.

Leo blossomed at Arizona Western Community College in 2016 and chose Iowa State over an offer from Oklahoma among others.

Leo, who joined the Cyclones for spring practice, is listed as a backup at tackle.

“He’s excited. Healthy,” Campbell said of Leo. “Really excited to get him into some needed (repetitions) that he’ll need all fall.”

The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Lima, a redshirt sophomore, picked the Cyclones over Oregon and TCU. Tongamoa, who is 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds, led all California junior college players with 25 tackles for loss last season for Poly Tech and turned down Oklahoma State and Texas to play for the Cyclones.

But as practice began on Monday only Lima — who is penciled in as the first-team nose guard — is listed as a starter.

The Cyclones have two experienced players at end returning, led by sophomore JaQuan Bailey.

Bailey was one of the nation’s top ends as a freshman, with 3.5 sacks and six tackles for loss.

Bailey and senior J.D. Waggoner, whose 2016 season ended following a shoulder injury after just five games, entered fall camp as first-teamers.

Though its defensive line is in flux with the season just a month away, Iowa State should be deeper there than it was a year ago.

The Cyclones open Sept. 2, hosting Northern Iowa of the FCS. “You can breathe a little bit,” Campbell said. “Last year, every time you went out to practice you were hoping (someone) didn’t get hurt. I think now, you can actually go out and compete.”

In the animal world there is no revenge. Animals live in the moment and handle their conflicts immediately. Attempting a more civilized approach, humans measure out punishments to fit the sins. The quest for justice often leads to injustice.

The lunar shift to Pisces calls for a rise above the animalistic and humanistic, too, seeking a higher love.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 8). You’ve earned the promotion; enjoy the rise. Your need for greater independence will be fulfilled without struggle as past education gets a perfect application and old debts are repaid. The sweetness of loved ones makes October one of

your favorite times. There’s a move in February -- a vitality infusion. Sagittarius and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 45, 21, 1 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

If “someday” hasn’t come over the span of a year, it may not come ever. As you get rid of the things you’re holding onto for “someday” you’re also making room for fresh energy and interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Learning is faster than relearning. Children learn fast because they’ve a clean slate that doesn’t need to be erased and overwritten. You’ll pick

up new subjects quickly but be slow to change the way you already do something.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

People have different tastes.

What you make, do or present is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. Success occurs when you focus on offering what you believe in and are proud of, not what you think they’ll want.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Doing it right once is a good start. Twice creates early momentum. Three times is the beginning of a pattern. For an action to be called successful, though, it must be able to be repeated time and again with predictable results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You delight in entertaining others, if not in the formal sense then in the impulse you have to keep people guessing. It’s a relationship skill (maybe even a public service) that keeps you creative and engaged.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ve a rather unreasonable agenda for yourself today, and that’s no cause for worry or doubt. Unreasonable things get accomplished all of the time.

Just be compassionate toward yourself as you push on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Decisions are hard enough without the extra pressure of needing to be right all of the time. Before you enter a situation, remember that it’s OK to be wrong sometimes. You

make better choices from a lighter mindset.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The very young soak up the positive, the pretty and the well-intentioned as if these things were gospel. Even their grievances are taken and absorbed from other sources.

Maturity is a firsthand understanding of your likes and dislikes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The way you think is beautiful. It’s often accurate, organized and kind, but not always. Anyway, beauty has as much to do with quirks as it does consistencies.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just about anyone can hear you when you talk. It’s the one

who hears you when you don’t talk who deserves a special place in the pantheon of your personal life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Hearts are heavy around you, but they’ll become lighter once they vent a little. If you have to hear out a few complaints, consider it a help to society.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Perhaps it doesn’t look like much, but this is actually a pretty interesting crossroads you’ve come to. No pressure or anything, but one decision could change everything!
