IUB sets public meetings to deliberate Dakota Access Pipeline decision North Dakota commission approves portion of pipeline

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Phyllis Peter reads a book to toddlers Tuesday at the Newton Public Library. The youth services librarian has started a new program called “A Thousand Books by Kindergarten” that encourages parents to read to toddlers and infants.

Peter wants youngsters to read ‘1,000 books’ by kindergarten Youth services librarian says research shows pre-literate children still benefit

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News There’s much more to learning to read besides making dinosaur “chomp” noises, but that certainly seems to be a fringe benefit of a new Newton Public Library program.

“A Thousand Books by Kindergarten” is the name youth services librarian Phyllis Peter has assigned to a new NPL program that encourages parents to read to toddlers and infants. Incorporated into her Tuesday morning “Toddler & Twos Storytime,” aimed at children ages 18 to 36 months, the program has log sheets that help toddlers know when they’ve had increments of 100 books read to them.

“It’s not competitive,” Peter said.

“But the kids sure love getting a new sticker for every 100 books.”

Peter said studies show toddlers, and even infants, benefit from having books read to them, even if they’re not at the stage where they are producing there only fully-formed spoken and written words.

Other literature associated with the program presents other important benefits of early reading, such as how much vocabulary can be built up before starting school.

One thousand books can be reached in less than three years if a toddler reads one book per day with a parent.

Peter incorporates songs and accompanying hand signs into Tuesday’s reading time, as singing is an

important component of developing both speech and reading skills.

There were about 15 toddlers at Tuesday’s session, along with parents and other family members. Des Moines resident Kathleen Sandoval’s daughter attends DMACC-Newton classes, so Kathleen brings her granddaughter, Esmerelda, to the Newton library for Toddlers & Twos.

“This is a wonderful program,” Kathleen Sandoval said. “It’s better than any library we’ve found anywhere else around here.”

Peter said the Friends of the Library present a gift bag to mothers who are discharging from Skiff Medical Center with newborn baby.

She hopes to add a “Thousand Books” flier and log sheet to the bag.

“This will help build on what FOL is doing,” Peter said, smiling.

DES MOINES — The Iowa Utilities Board announced Tuesday it will host public meetings Feb. 8-11 to deliberate issues regarding the Dakota Access Pipeline permit case and potentially reach a decision.

According to a meeting notice posted to the IUB website, the board may consider a motion to hold a closed session to discuss the decision regarding whether to award Dakota Access, LLC a permit to construct the crude oil pipeline and grant eminent domain rights through 18 Iowa counties.

The deliberations will be held in the hearing room at 1375 E. Court Ave. in Des Moines.

This announcement coincides with Wednesday’s decision by the North Dakota’s Public Service Commission to approve the North Dakota leg of the project, slated to cross a seven-county area of that state.

North Dakota is the third of four state government commissions to approve the project. South Dakota and Illinois cleared the project in late 2015.

Energy Transfer Partners — the parent company of Dakota Access, LLC — has been pushing the development of the Bakken oil pipeline — stretching from North Dakota to a hub Patoka, Ill. — for the last year. The pipeline would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day through the state. ETP is hoping to lay 343.43 miles of underground pipe in Iowa, with 33.73 miles in rural areas of Jasper County from Mingo through rural Reasnor.

Iowa Heart Center IMPACT seeking funds from city opens Newton office

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Newton Daily News Skiff Medical Center has announced Iowa Heart Center has opened an office in the Ross Medical Arts Building portion of the hospital. The new service will ensure local residents have access to cardiology services without needing to travel.

Iowa Heart Center cardiologists Philip Bear, D.O., and Michael Fraizer, M.D., are offering appointments in Newton, with services including cardiac office visits and consultations and holter monitors.

Bear, a native of Des Moines, received his medical degree from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Des Moines (now Des Moines University). He completed his residency at the University of Missouri Hospitals in Kansas City, as well as an invasive cardiology fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. He joined Iowa Heart Center in

IMPACT Community Action Partnership, a local organization serving Jasper County, is seeking help from the City of Newton to fund programs provided for low income residents. A part of the Newton community since 1964, the organization formerly known as Red Rock Area Community Action Program, serves more than 847 household in town.

“Currently, we have some very vital programs that we offer to the community.

Many individuals rely on the utilities service programs to get them through the winter, crisis funds that can additionally alleviate emergency situations, transportation assistance, food vouchers that also coincide with the food boxes they receive and assistance with youth programs and extra curricular activities for families,” coordinator Patty Sneddon said.

To meet the requirements for services, household must fall below the 150 percent

poverty guideline. To meet those requirements, a family of four must earn less than $36,375 or a family of one must earn less than $17,655.

More than 90 percent of the families IMPACT serves have a job or receive a fixed

income through Social Security. However, this limited income is not enough to make ends meet due to numerous situational and circumstantial barriers, she said.

Metro Creative Connection Lean protein such as yogurt or peanut butter is a healthy food option to consume both prior to and after exercise to increase effectiveness promote muscle recovery.

Nutrition fuels fitness

By Jenny Thompson, RD, LD, CDE Newton Hy-Vee Dietitian If your New Year’s resolution includes making 2016 the year you get fit and start a workout program, good for you. Along with that workout plan, you’re going to need a plan for healthy eating and hydration.

Here’s why: Sports nutrition helps us fuel our exercise and promotes rapid recovery. We need to start hydration and healthy eating 30 minutes to three hours prior to our exercise. In addition, if our exercise is more than an hour in duration, we’ll need to make sure we are continuing to hydrate. And after exercise, to promote recovery, we will need to continue hydrating and replacing electrolytes and protein.

The benefits of sports nutrition include: • Allows you to train harder longer • Delays onset of fatigue • Improves body composition and strength • Enhances concentration • Prepares the body for the next day’s workout • Helps maintain healthy immune function • Reduces the potential for injury • Reduces the risk of heat cramps and GI distress Just what should you eat for a pre-exercise meal or snack?

Kim Schwabenbauer, registered dietitian, LDN, CSSD, coach and professional triathlete, recommends a high carbohydrate meal/ snack that is reasonably low in fat/ fiber and that you have tried before. It should be eaten two to three hours prior to exercise and should consist of 200 to 500 calories, depending on the duration and intensity of the workout. The closer you

get to your exercise time, decrease the carbohydrate and calorie content of the meal/snack and choose a smaller snack. You can also include some lean protein — milk on cereal or Greek yogurt.

During exercise, consider a sports drink to improve mental function.

To stay hydrated, make sure you drink fluids throughout the day.

Water is also the best choice. It’s best to save sports drinks for longer duration exercise (more than 60 minutes) as they provide carbohydrates, sodium and other electrolytes.

After a workout, chocolate milk can be a great choice to replenish muscles. In a study reported in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, (Chocolate Milk vs. Sports Supplements, 2006), athletes in a lab setting at Indiana University biked until exhaustion, then rested for four minutes. During the break, they drank either chocolate milk or Gatorade or another sports recovery drink, Endurox. Results showed that chocolate milk was as effective as Gatorade and twice as effective as Endurox in muscle recovery.

For an after-workout snack, aim for 15 to 25 grams of protein, such as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, beef stick and crackers, apple and peanut butter or low-fat string cheese and crackers. A smoothie with Greek yogurt also is a good after-workout meal. However, be careful when it comes to calories and smoothies. Some can add up to a lot of extra calories.

Here’s a favorite smoothie recipe. Greek yogurt and nut butter boost protein, and ground flaxseed adds omega-3s in this fresh fruit smoothie recipe. Use ice cubes if you like a frosty smoothie or opt for water if you don’t want it so cold.

Strawberry banana protein smoothie Serves 1 Ingredients: 1 c. hulled fresh or frozen strawberries 1/2 medium banana 1/2 c. diced fresh or frozen mango 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt 1 tbsp. natural nut butter, such as peanut or almond 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (flaxmeal) 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 4 ice cubes or 1/2 c. water Directions: 1. Combine strawberries, banana, mango, yogurt, nut butter, flaxmeal, vanilla and ice cubes (or water) in a blender. Puree until smooth.

How to shorten the duration of a cold Newton Daily News Few things can be as uncomfortable as the common cold. In their book “Common Cold,” authors Olaf Weber and Ronald Eccles say the common cold has been around since the ancient times.

More than 200 virus strains can contribute to colds, but the rhinovirus is the most common.

Colds typically last for a week or more. While there’s no cure for the common cold, according to The Mayo Clinic, there are some remedies that can help cold sufferers feel better more quickly.

• Rest: One of the best things

Thank you for helping The Salvation Army meet needs in Jasper County at Christmas and into the New Year. Thanks for sharing and caring! We are grateful for your support for neighbors in need.

to do when you have a cold is to get adequate rest. Your body’s immune system is working overtime to combat the cold virus, and restricting activity can help it direct efforts where they’re needed most.

• Hydration: Consuming plenty of clear fluids can reduce congestion and ensure that you do not get dehydrated.

• Saline rinses: Intra-nasal saline sprays, neti pots and similar products can help loosen mucus that is clogging the nose and sinus cavities, allowing it to flow out.

• Vitamin C: Taking vitamin C before the onset of cold symp-

toms may shorten the duration of symptoms. Vitamin C also may provide benefits for people at high risk of colds due to frequent exposure, offers The Mayo Clinic.

• Soup and tea: Soup is an easy-to-digest meal that provides many of the necessary remedies for a cold, including warm broth to hydrate and soothe, antioxidant-rich vegetables and protein to help fuel the body’s recovery process.

• Reinfection: Use cleaning products that are effective at killing viruses around the house to prevent reinfection and cold relapses.

Bipartisan bill revises healthier meal standards in schools WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan Senate bill released Monday would revise healthier meal standards put into place over the last few years to give schools more flexibility in what they serve.

School nutrition directors and first lady Michelle Obama could be headed for a truce on healthier meal standards for the nation’s schoolchildren.

The legislation would ease requirements on whole grains and delay an upcoming deadline to cut sodium levels on the lunch line.

While the legislation would placate some schools that have complained the rules are burdensome, it is greatly scaled back from a 2014 House Republican effort to allow schools to opt out of the rules entirely.

In a statement, the School Nutrition Association said it worked alongside the White House and the Agriculture Department in helping the senators reach agreement.

Big upsets with a side of Iowa pride

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Jan. 21, 2016

This week Iowa officially became the state where No. 1 ranked teams come to lose. All three of the state’s public universities have beaten topped-rated NCAA men’s basketball teams this season — an accomplishment that is a feather in the cap of the players, coaches and citizens of Iowa.

The hat trick — to borrow a term from an underappreciated fellow winter sport — began with the University of Northern Iowa’s home 71-67 upset against thenNo. 1 Northern Carolina Nov. 21. The streak continued with the University of Iowa’s 83-70 win against B1G rival and then-No. 1 Michigan State. The third No. 1 team to see defeat in Iowa was the University of Oklahoma, which fell 82-77 last week at Hilton.

The State of Iowa’s college athletic teams have surprised a lot of people in the national sports

media, but not as many here in Iowa. It’s true most Hawkeye fans were not expecting an undefeated regular football season — myself among them — but we never question their ability to win and the strength of the program.

But folks outside our borders had their doubts, even when the Hawks were one win away from that perfect season.

I’m not a sports analyst or columnist, and our sports editor would tell you my attempt to cover high school sports when I first returned to Jasper County was — at best — a good try. But this banner year for college sports in Iowa goes beyond athletics and reflects the mentality we have in putting together quality programming in Iowa, both on and off the hardwood/field.

Displaying UI, ISU and UNI’s facilities, fan spirit and sportsmanship on primetime national

networks like ESPN, CBS and ABC not only helps our athletic teams to get five-star recruits, it sweetens the pot for out-ofstate students who might want to study engineering in Ames or journalism in Iowa City. It convinces prospective in-state students to stick around for their education and go to Cedar Falls for teaching.

Iowa collegiate sports which receive less notoriety but see athletes put forward just as much effort like gymnastics, swimming, field hockey and volleyball also benefit when “flagship” teams win on a big stage. It helps recruitment and it helps draw more fans.

And let’s not forget the impressive season of ISU and UI’s women’s basketball program currently at 11-5 and 13-5, respectively.

Taxpayer concerns about over-investing in athletics and pushing aside academics and re-

search — the true purposes of our state universities — can be lifted when they see investment brought to our state schools through national exposure brought on by success in sports. A strong athletic program equals a strong brand.

The amount of money pumped into sports, football programs in particular, should be scrutinized.

But there is no denying the advantages they bring.

Whether you were bred a Panther, bleed black and gold or are from the Cyclone Nation, we should all be celebrating the hard-working, team-oriented wins of our three university men’s basketball teams. That’s what we do in Iowa. We form teams not star power. We should be proud of the way our sports teams reflect our Iowa values.

Letters to the Editor

In response to Mr. Shapiro Luke Raven Marshalltown On the Statue of Liberty it reads, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” It does not continue to exclude a group of people. I read an article published in this paper on Jan. 13 in Ben Shapiro’s American Conservative column entitled “West’s Terminal Radical Islam Denial Syndrome.” I put forth that it is not the denial of radical Islam we need fear, but fear mongering and xenophobia.

Mr. Shapiro presented horrific statistics about worldwide suicide terror attacks in 2015 that were in large part carried out by Muslims.

What is omitted are more shocking facts that might hit closer to home.

Non-Muslims were responsible for

Let’s protect our natural resources Wes Breckenridge Newton The Iowa legislative session is upon us, and lawmakers have many priorities to address. Protecting our environment and natural resources should near the top of the list. We’re fortunate we live among wonderful outdoor recreational opportunities with lakes, rivers and streams, but we cannot take them for granted; it’s the responsibility of the legislature to protect water and other natural resources now so that future generations can enjoy them.

Back in 2010, after three years of research and discussion, a bipartisan group of Iowa stakeholders and legislators recommended creation of the Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreational Trust Fund. A majority of Iowa voters supported creation of the Trust Fund when it was placed on the ballot that year.

This fund would provide a “permanent, reliable, dedicated and

94 percent of terrorist attacks carried out in the U.S. between the years of 1980-2005, according to the FBI. In Europe, Muslims make up for less than 2 percent of the terrorist attacks over the last five years.

If we are to accept an incredibly small percentage of terrorists represent all Muslims then we must be willing to do the same with all groups including Christians. Some presidential candidates, like current Iowa Republican caucus leader Sen. Ted Cruz, would want us to believe that “There is no meaningful risk of Christians committing acts of terror.” Since 9/11, right-wing Christian terrorists in this county have killed more people than Muslim terrorists. Radicalized right-wing terrorists average 337 attacks per year, killing 254 people. It seems Hillary Clinton’s statement that “white terrorism and extremism” being a threat is less hyperbole and more statistical fact.

The radicalized Muslims such as ISIS represent Muslims as a whole nor more than groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Westboro Baptist Church, The Lord’s Resistance Army and anti-abortion bombers represent Christianity. If Muslims had carried out each terror attack since 1970 (they obviously haven’t) then that would still only represent less than 0.00009 percent of all Muslims. These very small, violent percentages are not the indicative of the whole number. The denial we are in is that any one group is more dangerous than another simply because they’re different.

We are a nation of immigrants who always extend a helping hand to an outreached one in need. We can be better. As it says in Matthew 25:35, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…”

accountable fund” for protecting water quality, natural resources, agricultural soils, along with fish and wildlife habitat. Legislators have failed to fund this program.

In addition to the Trust Fund, Iowa’s Resource Enhancement and Protection Program (REAP) must be funded in full. The program was created in 1989 and represents one of Iowa’s largest and most consistent investments in public lands, recreation programs, habitat and wildlife. The program is authorized to receive $20 million annually until 2021, but the Iowa legislature sets the REAP funding each year.

In 2015, REAP was only partially funded with $16 million. A portion of this funding is divided among all 99 counties, and another portion is based on county population. The remaining funds are available through competitive grants.

Locally, Jasper County Conservation Board continually looks for grant funding to enhance their budget and provide memorable experiences to park visitors. A

new restroom/showerhouse was recently installed at Ashton Park with $50,600 from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Mariposa will be dredged with over $1.5 million from DNR’s Lake Restoration Fund, and about three miles of the Chichaqua Valley Trail will be resurfaced with funds approved by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors to match a $280,000 grant from the Transportation Alternatives Program.

Iowa benefits economically when we invest in protection of waterways and other natural resources. Outdoor recreation like hunting, fishing and wildlife watching, visits to state and county parks, recreation on lakes, rivers and trails all contribute millions of dollars in revenue, providing jobs and stimulating Iowa’s economy, particularly in rural areas. Full investment in protecting and managing Iowa’s natural resources brings huge rewards to Iowa.

I was dog tired, both physically and mentally, from the stress of moving.

G i n nie was staying overnight in Ottumwa, getting her house ready to put on By Curt Swarm the mar- Guest Columnist ket. This would be our first night apart since we were married.

Feeling like a crusty old zombie, I crashed and went to bed early.

Around 1 a.m., the bathroom fan came on.

At first, I thought the furnace had kicked in, but the noise was much too loud. I got up to see what was going on and discovered the exhaust fan in the master bathroom running.

Strange. It wasn’t running when I went to bed. I don’t walk in my sleep, as far as I know, so what was going on? A sticky fan switch, maybe?

We have a lot of stuff boxed up and stored in the barn, so we keep the barn locked. The barn is insulated, has no windows and is pretty tight. I started noticing the lights on in the barn when I unlocked the door. “Okay,” I told myself.

“I left the lights on.” So, I made a point of shutting the lights off. The next time I unlocked the barn, the lights were on. Hmm. Ginnie does not have a key to the barn. What’s the deal? Finding the lights on when I open the barn door has happened so many times that I come to expect it. I could go out to the barn right now, unlock the door, and the lights will be on, even though I know I turned them off.

The prize winner, however, has to do with the key to Ginnie’s lock box. She couldn’t find the key after the chaos of moving. And her passport is in the lock box. Since we’re going to England in May for our honeymoon, it’s imperative that she have her passport. Ginnie looked high and low for weeks for that lock-box key. Finally, we discussed going to town and having a locksmith open the lock box. I came in from walking Buddy, and there the key was on

the garage floor, right in front of the door. We have been in and out of that door maybe a thousand times. The key is on a large key ring. It would have been impossible for us to miss it.

Conclusion: we have a ghost or ghosts. But they’re friendly ghosts, and enjoy playing tricks on us.

They hide the lock box key. Then, when they hear that we’re going to town to have the locksmith open the box, they place the key in an obvious place. They turn the bathroom fan and barn lights on.

Ginnie does not believe in ghosts. But, in her words, she, “May become a believer.”

Ginnie leaves real early in the morning for her job in Ottumwa. After she leaves, I often nap for a short time. One morning, I had just laid back in the recliner for my morning siesta, when a very distinct, female (?) voice hollered quite loudly, “Curt!”

I nearly jumped out of my skin. But there was no one around.

Innumerable times, I’ve been searching for an ink pen, or the remote. I’ll leave the room, come back, and it will be right there where I was looking. Cute.

At least they’re not mean ghosts.

I talked to my neighbor, who is in his eighties, and has lived close by all his life.

He knows the history of our little acreage quite well.

Yes, there was an old farm house on the property that was torn down. Yes, a little boy was killed crossing the highway. This would have been in the 1950s.

There you go. Even though the house we live in was built in 2007, the ghost, presumably, has stayed with the property and now inhabits our house and barn.

But the voice I heard was female, or could it have been a little boy’s voice? There have no doubt been other deaths along the highway over the years. Maybe the little boy has friends.

I wonder what the ghosts will do when they hear they will be in the newspaper?

OPERA Iowa Educational Touring Troupe kicks off 30th annual tour The OPERA Iowa Educational Touring Troupe, an educational program of Des Moines Metro Opera, will take to the road for its 2016 tour Feb. 8. The group will perform John Davies’ The Billy Goats Gruff in area schools and Rosinni’s Cinderella in the communities around Iowa.

OPERA Iowa will visit 50 communities, giving over 60 school performances for approximately 26,000 school-aged children Feb. 8 through April 19. The number of children and families served and the statewide span of its efforts make the OPERA Iowa Educational Touring Troupe the state’s largest and most comprehensive effort in music education.

The school performances are presented in conjunction with interactive and engaging workshops that meet the National Standards for Arts in Education guidelines.

The troupe will also give 16 evening concert performances for community audiences in various locations across the state. These concert performances are open to the public. A complete listing of OPERA Iowa’s performance schedule will be available online

beginning Feb. 1.

The OPERA Iowa troupe will perform for students in public and private schools across Iowa.

Some of the communities the troupe will visit are Des Moines, Pella, Marshalltown, Newton and Ames.

For the 30th annual tour OPERA Iowa will present John Davies’ The Billy Goats Gruff for elementary and middle school performances. The show takes a familiar tale and adds a fun operatic twist with a strong anti-bullying message. On the way home from school, three little billy goats encounter a steep bridge, a big mean troll and a sticky situation that they must try to solve —all set to some of the greatest music by Mozart, Rossini and Donizetti.

The evening community concert selection is Rosinni’s Cinderella which is a perfect show for families. This version of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella, is a vocal and comedic romp. A wise magician takes the place of the fairy godmother and the girls’ father rants and raves instead of a wicked stepmother but the nasty

stepsisters. Prince Charming and a glass slipper prove, beyond all question, that this is the fairy tale we all know and love. And when it’s combined with hilarious characters and situations all set to some of Rossini’s finest music, it becomes comic opera at its most exhilarating best. Performances of Cinderella will be presented in cities including Ames, Des Moines and Newton.

OPERA Iowa also offers a Masterclass for high school students, in which students can benefit from vocal tips and insights from the OPERA Iowa singers and music coach. All OPERA Iowa performances are sung in English with piano accompaniment.

OPERA Iowa Educational Touring Troupe members are handpicked from nationwide auditions of more than 800 singers to share their love of opera with audiences of all ages. The talented young performers of the 2015 OPERA Iowa include mezzo soprano Jenna Smith of Mt. Vernon. Andrew Ryker of Des Moines, will be the stage director for both productions.

Couple’s future grows murkier after man has second thoughts DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Jimmy,” and I have been together for two years. After about four months, out of necessity we moved in together and it was great.

Not long afterward I got a job two hours away. Since I moved, we get to see each other only every two or three weeks. The separation has been tough, but when we’re together, everything is perfect and all is right with the world.

I feel we were fated to be together.

Before the move, Jimmy and I often talked about marriage, and although I am not crazy about it, I knew it meant a lot to him, so I proposed (ring and all). He initially said yes, then sort of asked me to take back my proposal.

Since then, he has been avoiding all discussions about our future, and I don’t know what to do.

I’m willing to quit my job and go back to be with him, but I’m scared he’s going to get cold feet. Obviously, I’m hopelessly in love with him, but now I’m feeling lost and confused. — HOURS APART IN THE SOUTH DEAR HOURS APART: Please allow me to offer some clarity. Do not quit your job because if you do, you may find yourself not only without a job but also without a place to stay.

When someone (man or woman) asks that a proposal be rescinded, it usually means the person feels he or she may have jumped the gun by saying yes. Jimmy is avoiding all discussion about your future because he doesn’t want one, and he’s afraid to say it directly because he knows it will hurt your feelings.

For your own sake, have an honest conversation with him about this.

It may be painful, but it will be better than living in limbo the way you are. As the saying goes, “When a door closes, another one opens.”

DEAR ABBY: Last Friday was

Grandparents’ Day at my kids’ preschool. My parents attended and were well-behaved for the most part, but then my mother made a faux pas. She asked one of the directors when her baby was due. Well, Abby, the woman isn’t pregnant.

When I picked up my kids, I had no idea what had happened. The director was having a conversation with one of the teachers when I walked in, so as usual I smiled and waved as I walked by. I did sense something was off when she didn’t respond, but I figured she was preoccupied. When we met my parents for dinner, my mother told me what happened.

I am mortified. I managed to make it out of the preschool this morning without crossing paths with the director, but I’ll be seeing this woman for the next couple of years. What, if anything, do I say to her? — HORRIFIED IN MICHIGAN DEAR HORRIFIED: You did nothing wrong, so stop avoiding the woman and behave as you usually do.

IF you notice that she treats you differently, all you should say is: “I heard what happened with my mother, and I’d like to apologize for her behavior.

As you can see, she sometimes puts her foot in her mouth, but we love her anyway.”

IOWA CITY — Police are checking for possible links between a bomb threat at Iowa City’s West High School and threats phoned into school and law enforcement officials in other states.

West High was evacuated Tuesday morning after the threat was phoned in by what was described as a robotic-sounding voice, with the aid of a computer. Classes were canceled after police told school officials it would take hours to clear the building. No bomb was found.

NEW HAMPTON — Authorities say three people in a car were killed when it collided with a semitrailer in northeast Iowa’s Chickasaw County.

The accident was reported about 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, about two miles south of New Hampton on U.S. Highway 63. The Iowa State Patrol says the driver of a westbound car didn’t yield to cross traffic at a highway intersection, so the car was struck by the northbound truck. The patrol says three people in the car died.

NewCare Health Services will consolidate with Newton Clinic effective in April.

NewCare Health Services to consolidate with Newton Clinic Newton Daily News Newton Clinic and Skiff Medical Center have announced they will be dissolving Jasper County Health Ventures ( JCHV ), the limited-liability company that was started as a new venture between the two entities in May 2014. For nearly two years, JCHV has been doing business as NewCare Health Services, a primary care clinic located at 315 W. Third St. N., Newton.

NewCare will consolidate with Newton Clinic effective April 1.

The impending May expiration of the NewCare building’s lease encouraged officials to closely examine the current sit-

uation. After much thought, it was decided that supporting a two-clinic medical campus was unsustainable.

“Many businesses in Newton have had to make difficult decisions regarding consolidation,” Newton Clinic administrator Mark Thayer said. “Recent examples include the Newton YMCA and Hy-Vee Drugtown.

We found that having two campuses lacked efficiencies for providers and patients. Bottom line, the two-campus model was too expensive.”

Thayer said NewCare employees will have the opportunity to remain gainfully employed with the Newton Clinic team.

The current providers at New-

Care Health Services are nurse practitioner Jodi Holloway and Dr. Jennifer Paisley, a pediatrician and internal medicine physician. Newton Clinic providers who have also had limited clinic hours at NewCare are midwife Lacy Lundgren and Dr. Esgar Guarin, an obstetrics and family practice doctor.

“The goal is to have these four providers begin seeing all of their patients at the Newton Clinic location,” Thayer said.

“Any patient in good standing at NewCare will be welcome to continue their care with their same NewCare provider.”

NewCare patients may schedule appointments at Newton Clinic by calling 641-792-2112.

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis will be in Newton over the lunch hour Monday to campaign for democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

Curtis will speak to Newton residents from noon to 1 p.m.

Monday at the Hillary for Iowa office, located at 110 First St. N. in Newton.

This is the first time the 57-year-old actress has hit the campaign trail for Clinton. With only one week remaining until the Feb. 1 caucuses, Curtis is slated to speak about domestic issues such Jamie Lee Curtis as education and women’s rights.

Clinton will also be campaigning Monday in central Iowa. From 1 to 2 p.m., she will be at Knoxville School District Administration Office in Knoxville and from 3:45 to 4:30 p.m. at Smokey Row in Oskaloosa.

Branstad calls for anti-Cruz vote on ethanol issue ALTOONA (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz received an anti-endorsement from the governor of Iowa, Tuesday, host of the country’s lead-off presidential caucus, on account of his failure to support renewable fuels like ethanol.

Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican who has not endorsed any of the GOP presidential candidates for president, said at a renewable fuels conference near Des Moines that Iowans should reject Cruz because he supports phasing out the fuel standard.

His comments, which come within two weeks of the state’s critical Feb. 1 caucus, could resonate with state farmers who grow the corn used in ethanol, and the soybeans widely used in biodiesel or risk getting trounced at the Iowa caucuses.

“We should not be supporting somebody who is opposing those things that are of critical importance to the economic well-being of our state,” Branstad said.

You may have been smoking for so long, it feels like a physical part of you. But it’s not too late to go your separate ways. No matter how long you’ve smoked, your health will start to improve within 20 minutes of quitting, when your heart rate and blood pressure will drop. After just two weeks, your circulation improves and your lung function increases and, after one year, excess risk of coronary heart disease will be half that of a continuing smoker.

If you’ve tried to quit before, it’s time to try something different. When you enroll in Quitline Iowa, an individualized quitting plan will be put together just for you, addressing your needs and concerns.

Newton Park Board plans for upcoming projects Senior-friendly playground in the works

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Newton Park Board held its first meeting of the year Wednesday night at Newton City Hall where members discussed plans for upcoming projects in the months ahead.

Board members Melanie Humphrey, Jim Klier, Marc Jackson, Amanda Price and Adam Vandall along with parks superintendent Nathan Unsworth talked about the 2016 Fourth of July fireworks display, Sunset Park playground, the addition of single occupancy restrooms at Maytag Park and Woodland Park and the 30-Acre Park planning.

Fourth of July Fireworks Newton Park Board has raised a little more than $4,000 for this year’s fire-

works display including sponsorships from U.S. Bank, Trinity Towers and Van Maanen Construction, according to Unsworth.

“That will get us near our firework goal, but we still have a long way to go,” he said.

The board plans to send out a second letter campaign to area businesses for any remaining sponsors. A community fundraising campaign may be organized in the spring to help with expenses.

Sunset Park The board has $75,000 to $80,000 for its proposed Sunset Park playground project, depending on pending funding for the Aurora Park boulder park.

The idea for Sunset Park is to have a playground that can be utilized by children but also available for senior citizens to use for mirroring exercises, balance and physical therapy needs, Unsworth said.

In support of the idea, the Newton Wellness Coalition received a $1,000 grant from Theisen’s to help fund the

senior-friendly playground.

The main focus at the meeting was discussing where a new playground would be built given the current layout of the park as well as the availability of “Sunset West,” a small separate patch of land located to the west of Newton Village.

Issues such as topography, traffic and entrances were discussed in regard to the placement of the new playground equipment, but no exact playground location was determined at the meeting.

The City of Newton and Hometown Pride have recently moved forward with a design for Sunset Park to accomplish the goals of making it more senior-friendly. The pair are developing around 20 various community enhancement projects to present to Iowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities, and if selected, the region would be part of a large research study on the needs of local residents.

“It would be very important to see what they (Iowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities) come up with for that study, and the layout, and how things could work before we plan ahead,” Price said.

The next board meeting will take place at 6:15 p.m. Feb. 20 at Newton City Hall.

The state of the Iowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities grant award will be known in March.

In other news: — Single occupancy restrooms will be added to Maytag Park and Woodland Park, one at each park. A wood exterior design with green doors was chosen.

— The board discussed forming a 30-Acre Park project committee of interested and recreational members of the community to help brainstorm park ideas with the help of University of Iowa students.

— The newly installed ice skating rink located at Maytag Park is open, well used and has been very popular, according to community feedback received by board members. A need for benches or seating is the only issue that has been noted. Skates are not available for rent at this time, however, if anyone is interested in owning ice skates, Mojo’s Cycling can order them.

Cardinals back in the 4A mix with CIML teams in new football districts Five area teams in five different football districts

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News “New opportunities,” was a tweet on Twitter by Newton High lineman Caden Manning just after the release of the football district assignments for 201617 by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. Manning will be a junior for the Cardinal football team next year.

Newton High’s Cardinals knew they had been moved into Class 4A again after eight years of Class 3A competition. The Cardinals along with all other teams in the state waited until Wednesday’s announcement to find out how the state would align the districts.

Newton is in Class 4A District 4 with 2015 semifinalist West Des Moines Valley, Southeast Polk, Marshalltown, Indianola and Fort Dodge. In the final football poll of the 2015 season, Valley was ranked No. 7 and Fort Dodge No. 11.

The Cardinals are in a district with all CIML teams. Newton used to be a member of the CIML years ago and

Marshalltown, which Newton went 1-1 against the past two seasons in non-district action, was a big rival.

Newton is the smallest Class 4A school with an enrollment figure of 631 for football classification. Valley is the largest school in the state at 2,170 enrollment for football classification. The farthest opponent is Fort Dodge, which is 120 miles away.

The IHSAA decided Class 4A will have eight six-team districts the next two seasons. The top two teams in each district advance to the playoffs. It is the same format for 8-player football also.

The five area football teams are in five different districts and most have at least one long-distance trip.

Area Class 2A and Class A teams found out their districts for 2016-17

Wednesday also. The state decided for seven districts of eight teams each for the smaller classes — Class 3A, 2A, 1A, A. District champions and runner-ups advance into the playoff brackets, which were brought back for the new alignments for all classes. The format change in the smaller classes brings in two atlarge berths for the playoffs.

In Class 2A, Prairie City-Monroe is in District 6 with Albia, Centerville, Central Lee, Chariton, Clarke, Davis County and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. Albia was ranked No.1 in 2A in the final poll last fall but lost to Mount Vernon in a state semifinal game. Chariton moves down from 3A and EBF is up from 1A. Collins-Maxwell/Baxter lands in Class 2A District 3 with Dike-New Hartford, East Marshall, Aplington-Parkersburg, Roland-Story, Saydel, South Hardin and West Marshall.

Dike-New Hartford won the Class 1A championship in 2015 and moves up to 2A. Aplington-Parkersburg was ranked No. 8 in the final poll last year.

PCM and CMB made the 2A playoffs last fall, both losing in the first round. PCM was ranked No. 14 in the final 2A poll. CMB is in a district with two Heart of Iowa Conference teams FOOTBALL | 2B

Lynnville-Sully’s Ehresman, Parkinson are selected to Iowa Shrine Bowl team

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Sage Ehresman powered Lynnville-Sully’s offense the past two seasons. The 5-foot-9-inch senior running back has had back-to-back 1,000-plus yards rushing for the Hawks.

Under the direction of head coach Mike Parkinson, Lynnville-Sully has made the playoffs three of four years. Ehresman and Parkinson will be representing Lynnville-Sully in the 2016 Iowa Shrine All-Star Football Classic July 23 at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls.

The Iowa High School Football Coaches Parkinson Association selected the coaches and players for the two teams for the 44th annual charity game. The selections are made from nominations received from the high school coaches around the state.

“I’m really proud to say I can coach Sage again and be part of this great tradition,” Parkinson said. “The Shrine Bowl is more than a football game.

During the Shrine Bowl week, we give back to those who are less fortunate in a variety of ways.

“This will be a great learning experience for both Sage and myself, and we are both honored and humbled to get

this opportunity. As the Shrine Bowl motto goes, ‘Strong Legs Run, so Weak Legs May Walk.’”

Ehresman, who rushed for 1,392 yards on 282 carries for the Hawks, was selected as a running back for the South Team. Parkinson is an assistant coach on South head coach Mike Whisner’s coaching staff.

Whisner is head coach at Adel-DeSoto-Minburn. Other assistant coaches are Jacob Mueller of Muscatine, Garrison Carter of Washington, Mark Schib of Clarinda, Jacob Burger of Ogden and Tom Peterson of Exira-EHK. Ehresman earned Class A All-District honors as running back the past two years. The Hawks went 8-4, advancing to the quarterfinal round of the Class A playoffs in November. In his four years playing for Lynnville-Sully, Ehresman has 2,704 yards on 462 carries and scored 43 touchdowns.

Ehresman caught 12 passes of 152 yards and two touchdowns his senior season. He was the Hawks’ quarterback as a sophomore, completing 25-of-51 passes for 309 yards with four touchdowns.

Ehresman was a stalwart on Lynnville-Sully’s defense as well. He had 46 solo tackles and 22 assisted tackles this past season. For his career, he had 145 solo tackles and 71 assisted tackles The annual all-star game has raised more than $2,438,000 for the Shriners Hospitals for Children.There are 19 orthopedic hospitals in the United

Newton boys basketball C-M Tigerhawks out draws Class 3A District 12 to Beat Cancer

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s Beat Cancer Week concludes Friday with a South Iowa Cedar League basketball doubleheader between the Tigerhawk teams and HLV. Colfax-Mingo students and faculty have had a week of fundraising for The Children’s Cancer Connection. T-shirt sales, staff members paying to wear jeans and a kiss-a-pig contest. The C-M teacher getting the most money in the jar wars will kiss a pig at the Tigerhawk pep rally Friday.

“This year we’ve lost an associate to breast cancer, a former principal/school board member to lung cancer, and a student’s sibling to a brain tumor,” C-M teacher and cheering sponsor Jeanne Patterson said. “This is why the Tigerhawks want to beat cancer.”

The girls’ varsity game tips off at 6 p.m. followed by the boys’ game at 7:30 p.m. at Colfax-Mingo High in Colfax.

Newton High’s boys are in the Class 3A District 12 for the 2016 basketball playoffs. District 12 and District 11 comprise the Class 3A Substate 6.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association released Class 3A district assignments Monday.

Joining the Cardinals in District 12 are fellow Little Hawkeye Conference teams Grinnell and Oskaloosa and South Tama from the WaMaC-West.

District 11 is South Central Conference-filled with Knoxville, Clarke, Chariton and Centerville.

Newton (8-4) has defeated Grinnell (8-4) and Oskaloosa (47) in the first round of LHC action. South Tama is 2-11 on the season.

The Cardinals beat Knoxville

(6-3) earlier in the season. They will see how they stack up against 3A ninth-ranked Chariton (11-1) at home on Feb. 1. Centerville is 6-5 and Clarke is 1-11.

Class 3A district play begins Feb. 22 and the second-round is Feb. 25. The champions from District 11 and District 12 meet Feb. 29 for the substate title and state tournament berth.

Substate champions advance to the Class 3A state basketball tournament. The IHSAA state tournaments are March 7-12 at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

The IHSAA released the district and substate assignments for Class 2A and 1A a week ago. District play for 1A and 2A begins Feb. 15.

This & That

High school football playoff brackets are back The high school football playoff brackets are back.

Thank goodness. Covering a high school football playoff game and not knowing who that team plays next if it wins was tough for me as a sports writer.

Thankfully, the Iowa High School Athlet- By Troy Hyde ic Association Newton Daily has decided News to bring them Sports Writer back. The organization also announced the latest districts for all six classes Wednesday.

I’ll get to those in a minute.

The top two teams in Class 4A and 8-player districts will advance to the postseason. The other four classes will have the top two teams in each district advance along with two wild cards.

The wild cards will be bring about some controversy.

There’s no doubt that.

Some years the criteria might work out just fine. Others, it will be a complete mess.

The first tiebreaker to decide who gets those wild card spots is any team who ties for a district title with the two automatic qualifiers. Then it takes district record. Then it goes by head-to-head.

That’s where things may be different this year. A Class 2A team may not want to play another 2A team in non-district action because a loss could essentially keep them out of the playoffs.

“There will be some controversy because everyone knows some really good teams are going to get left out,” PCM coach Greg Bonnett said. “I would not be surprised to see the state look at other options in the future, but for right now it is what it is.”

You may see 1A, 2A and 3A schools playing up and/or down a class to prevent that tiebreaker from coming into play. Class A schools could also play up a class.

Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz and Lynnville-Sully coach Mike Parkinson told me that they won’t look too much into the head-to-head tiebreaker. Both of their programs will try to play other teams within the South Iowa Cedar League or other teams their size.

Lietz and Parkinson both would rather have the tiebreaker be decided on the field than by way of the alphabet.

“We’ll schedule Class A schools and schools are own size,” said Lietz, whose Tigerhawks have played 2A Clarke and 2A Saydel in past seasons.

“I want to prepare my football team for what will see come district time and playoff time.”

Bonnett said the head-tohead tiebreaker likely won’t affect his options in the non-district. He had five schools already in mind and said Wednesday that he’ll likely stick with those same options.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter coach Rob Luther was the only area coach that told me his program likely will look to a few non-2A schools in the non-district to avoid the tiebreaker scenario.

CMB played 3A Nevada last year and could try to get now-3A North Polk, too. That makes sense because of the THIS & THAT | 2B

Shockers deck Panthers CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Ron Baker scored 21 points and Wichita State pulled away from Northern Iowa down the stretch in the Shockers 74-55 win on Wednesday night.

After an 80-76 OT loss to Seton Hall on Dec. 19 dropped Wichita State’s record to 5-5, the Shockers have won eight in row including their first seven in conference play.

Markis McDuffie finished with 15 points and Fred VanVleet added 12 points and six assists for Wichita State (13-5, 7-0 Missouri Valley), which shot 56.5 percent from the field while holding Northern Iowa to 32.8 percent.

Matt Bohannon, Bennett Koch, and Wes Washpun each finished with 14 points for the Panthers (10-10, 2-5).

Northern Iowa has lost five of six.

Continued from Page 1B in Roland-Story and Saydel. Central Lee, which is in PCM’s district, won its firstround playoff game last year.

Longest-distance opponents for the two area schools are Central Lee (112 miles) for PCM and Aplington-Parkersburg (70 miles) for CMB. Lynnville-Sully and Colfax-Mingo reached the Class A playoffs last year.

Lynnville-Sully upended then-No. 8 Winfield-Mount Union, 29-28, in the second round to advance to the quarterfinals. Colfax-Mingo lost in second-round action.

Colfax-Mingo is in Class A District 5 with Belle Plaine, BGM, Gladbrook-Reinbeck, GMG, Grand View Christian, Hudson and North Tama. Gladbrook-Reinbeck is the A defending state champion, which finished ranked No. 7 in the final poll. BGM, which was ranked No. 2, lost in the quarterfinals.

Newton won’t be affected by wild cards and tiebreakers as much as the other area schools.

Class 4A is pretty clear cut.

Finish in top two and you’re in.

But when trying to decide its non-district slate, the Cardinals could jump back into its long-standing rivalries with Ames, Ottumwa and Mason City. That would be intriguing.

The Cardinals also could look to schedule teams within the Little Hawkeye Conference such as Grinnell, Oskaloosa or Dallas Center-Grimes. They play Boone in a lot of other sports as well so that may be another option.

The fourth tiebreaker for those two wild card spots will be a 17-point differential, which changed from a 13-point differential that was used in previous years.

ezuma made the playoffs a year ago.

In the final Class A poll of last year, Colfax-Mingo was ranked 13th and the Tigerhawks lost in the second round of playoffs to Mount Ayr. Mount Ayr knocked Lynnville-Sully out of the play-

down that far is a random draw of the alphabet. Let’s hope it doesn’t get to that point.

Travel is always a concern for small schools trying to stay within a budget.

CMB’s furthest trip within the district the next two years will be to Aplington-Parkersburg and Dike-New Hartford, which are both around 70 miles away. Every other trip is within 100 miles round trip.

PCM will be familiar with a lot of its road games. They made trips to Centerville, Clarke, Davis County and Albia in recent years. EBF and Chariton also are only 40 miles away. The furthest the Mustangs will go is to Donnellson when it faces Central Lee. That trip is 224 miles round trip.

“We got put pretty close to where our staff predicted,” Bonnett said. “You never know though. I wouldn’t have been surprised to go the other way.”

Colfax-Mingo’s furthest trip will be to two of the new schools it joins up with the next two years. North Tama, which is in Traer, is 75 miles away and Hudson is 87 miles one way. Defending state champi-

offs the next week. Colfax-Mingo has South Iowa Cedar League schools Belle Plaine, and BGM in its district while Lynnville-Sully has fellow SICL teams Montezuma and North Mahaska.

Lynnville-Sully has three long-distance opponents in New London, Winfield-Mount Union and Danville. The distance between Colfax-Mingo and Hudson is about 90 miles.

The IHSAA’s board approved a return to the playoff bracket system at its meeting Wednesday. Teams will be able to see their opponents and path to the UNI Dome before the playoffs kick off in late October.

Also approved was increasing the point differential tiebreaker from 13 points to 17 points; elimination of the 125-mile travel limitation for first-round playoff games; and criteria to determine the atlarge playoff qualifiers — 1. Anyone considered a district champ; 2. Best district record; 3. Head-to-head competition, in district or non-district play; 4. The state’s point differential’s tiebreaker; 5. A random draw from the alphabet by the IHSAA, with the schools closest to that letter becoming the qualifier.

on Gladbrook-Reinbeck is in the district, too. That round trip travel will be 120 miles.

“I really thought we were going to be heading West this time,” Lietz said. “It was more a surprise than anything. It’s going to be tough, but we’ll see some familar teams. It’s out of our control. We have to beat everyone to reach our goals anyway.”

Lynnville-Sully has it the worst from a travel standpoint.

The Hawks do have short trips to North Mahaska (17 miles) and Montezuma (17 miles) but three road trips will be at least 117 miles one way — Winfield-Mt. Union (117), New London (118) and Danville (124).

“We were surprised to be heading that way,” Parkinson said. “We were led to believe that we would be back with Colfax-Mingo. We were prepared for something else to be honest.”

Parkinson does like the new wild card format. Last year, Lynnville-Sully made it to the quarterfinals as the three seed. The Hawks would not be guaranteed to make the play-

offs in the next two years if they finish third.

The wild card spots allow two more good football teams a shot at the postsesaon.

“You’ll have to earn those spots, but it allows for someone in our position last year to still make some noise in the playoffs,” Parkinson said.

“Those two wild card teams will still be good teams.”

In other area news, Colfax-Mingo seniors Jacob Lietz and Jared Myers have made their decisions on where they will play football next year.

Lietz confirmed that he has committed to Grand View University as a wide receiver, while Myers has given his verbal committment to Morningside University. Both programs are high quality NAIA schools.

National Signing Day is fast approaching. Look for more information on Lietz, Myers and any other area athletes who decide to further their careers at the collegiate level in the coming weeks.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM

Now Available!

ONLY $19.99 plus tax

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available for pre-order at the Newton Daily News. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926. Maytag once commented about Snyder that "90% of everything we make or improve upon is because of him." At the time of Snyder's death in 1927, Maytag lamented "I feel that I am losing a companion, my pal and dearest friend that I ever had." Take advantage of this opportunity to order your copy before the book goes on sale to the general public.

Animals can smell fear, and it interests them an awful lot, as it could indicate something delicious to eat. Animals also note the absence of a fearsmell, which could indicate the chance of being eaten.

Reminder: you’re an animal, too. This message was brought to you by the tension between Mercury to Uranus.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 21). Finally, a worthy application for your big personality: You’ll stand out amongst lessanimated folk and be singled out as someone with the vitality to lead the group. Your kind works of the past will boomerang back in February.

You’ll be a hero to family in March. July brings a new professional calling. Cancer and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 41, 25, 45, 28 and 3.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Andy Warhol discovered new ways to use silk-screening.

Duchamp discovered the high art in found objects. You’ll hit on your own amazingly specific discovery today to put a finer point on your “voice” in the world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The fastest way to gain the approval of others is not to need it or care about it in the least.

An organic process will take you there. It starts with being a little more selfish. Are you up to it?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s flattering when someone is so impressed with you that he or she wants to show you off. Don’t let all that parading around take the life out of your smile or turn your wave automatic.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You won’t have to get too creative to do your work in the best way possible. The normal methods will do. Efficiency will count for more than anything, and keep you within the budget, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once you tell someone where you are going, there will be no turning back. Go on and mention what you plan to do along the way and with whom you will be sharing this adventure, and you’re as good as launched.

be afraid to start over.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Life has brought you to many a crossroads, but this time is different. It appears to be more of a dead end. You’ll have to cut through on foot for a while to get to the next obvious path.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). As long as you don’t let it stop you, frustration is actually a very useful emotion.

It’s better than self-delusion -- that’s for sure. Frustration has a simple message: What you’re doing isn’t working.

Now go find what will.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Sometimes when you endeavor to re-cut it, re-shape it and keep whittling away at it until it’s right, it becomes too small to be workable. Don’t

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Play around with formats that are entirely new. You may just find that you’re able to put your entire self into it and create something that is so perfectly “your thing.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Things are getting better, and part of the reason is you, so go ahead and take

the credit. Do it quickly and you’ll be relatively inconspicuous enough so as not to inspire jealousy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The new project is packed with potential. It’s safe, appropriate, necessary even to apply your fervor. A touch of madness will take this from “exciting” to “brilliant.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

If you take up too much room with your kindness and efforts to make the other person happy, there will no space left for reciprocation. Back off and let the other person come forward with a bigger effort.
