NCSD board approves 3.25 increase for teachers

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton teachers will be getting a 3.25 percent raise for 2016-17.

The Newton Community School District’s Board of Education voted 6-0 at Monday’s regular meeting to approve the increase, which includes both wages and benefits. After meeting several times and going through an arbitration process, the vote was mostly a formality that needed to be done publicly.

Board member Andy Elbert abstained from voting, as his wife is a teacher in the dis-

trict. The Newton Community Education Association — the teacher’s union — made an initial proposal of a 6.5 percent compensation at a public initial proposal session in March, while the district countered with 2 percent. The legislature approved a 2.25 percent increase in state aid this session for 2016-17.

About 99 percent of NCEA’s membership voted to ratify the contract.

“This is an increase of $603 to the generator base,” Business Director Gayle Isaac said.

“That means any new teachers coming into the district will make that much more.”

Isaac also said the increase will add to NCSD’s expenses by more than $560,000 above what it’s spending in Fiscal Year 2016, even with administrators agreeing not to take a pay raise next year. The district spent nearly $20 million on payroll in FY 2015; the FY 2016 total won’t be known until June 30.

NCSD Superintendent Bob Callaghan said a meeting will be scheduled in the weeks ahead to meet with the district’s other union representatives for their contracts.

Memorial Day ceremonies set for Jasper County

‘Shooting’ people successful hobby for McKinstry

Newton Daily News Area volunteers will be making their annual Memorial Day ceremonial presentations again this year. Several volunteer clean-up or maintenance efforts are being made this month, including this past weekend’s cleaning out of the flag holders and this Saturday’s 8 a.m. flag placements.

Here is the full schedule for this weekend:

Photography on display at Uncle Nancy’s

“

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

I shoot people” isn’t the typical opening line for most folks, but when it’s followed by a request to take a photo, hobby photographer Jim McKinstry usually gets a chuckle.

McKinstry credits his grandchildren for coming up with the unique line.

“My wife died about two years ago and they said, ‘Grandpa, a good hobby for you would be to shoot people,’” McKinstry said.

The longtime Newton resident will openly admit he is not a professional photographer. He has been taking photos for most of his life, but it wasn’t until working on a genealogy proj-

ect for his mother he realized the importance of photographic memories.

“My family took a lot of photos. My mother did a lot genealogy, and they took so many pictures that it made my job much easier when I went to put them into books,” McKinstry said.

“It brought the genealogy alive.

Without the photos of people, places and things, all you have a bunch of dry material.”

McKinstry picked up a few new cameras and started work photographing wildlife in the area. He, along with his wife, would travel around the to photograph birds, bugs and any other wildlife that popped in the picture.

“I bought my cameras before

my wife died because I was expanding on my hobby. It was a good way for me to take her out and about. She couldn’t walk great distances so I might photograph on a road trip and she could sit on a bench while I went out,” McKinstry said.

The hobby was also a way for McKinstry to heal following his wife’s death.

“My wife said to me — ‘don’t you dare sit with the shades pulled. You get you and you do things, you keep moving,’” McKinstry said. “That is what I did.”

One of his favorite places to shoot is Lake Red Rock with its rich supply of wildlife and curious visitors.

City continuing work on effective, efficient governance

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The city’s progress in the area of having an effective, efficient, democratic governance was presented to the city council for the second time as a part of the regular update on the 2015-2017 strategic action plan.

The governance ideal is one of four essential purposes the city identified as a part of the action plan that serves as a detailed guide

of what the city staff is working on to further the city’s goals.

“We’re currently in the midst of our 2015-2017 action plan, so we like to give regular reports to city council and to the public to let them know some of the accomplishments we are making toward those goals,” city senior management analyst Natalie Umsted said.

As defined, the city’s purpose of having an effective, efficient, democratic governance is to

protect and prudently manage the city’s resources to enhance transparency, accountability, integrity, efficiency, effectiveness and innovations of all operation to provide responsive customer service to support database decision making with timely short term and long range analysis and to attract, motivate and develop a high quality workforce dedicated to collaborative decision making.

Ag Day at Newton High

Photos by Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Justice Borger reads to elementary students. Dozens of Newton Community School District elementary students visited Newton High School on May 12 to learn about animals, farming and more from NHS agriculture students.

Women marketing grain course starting June 2 AMES — A four-session course will be offered starting June 2 to assist women in developing a plan for marketing corn and soybeans.

Women Marketing Grain will be on Thursdays, June 2-23 at the DMACC Hunziker Center in Ames. With unpredictable crop prices and tight margins, marketing can make the difference in the profitability of corn and soybean production. How well farmers get paid for a year’s worth of work can be wrapped up in just a few marketing decisions.

“Women Marketing Grain empowers women by offering a valuable set of business-based workshops. The program helps participants learn ways to make a better human resource management decisions,”

according to Madeline Schultz, ISU Extension and Outreach Women in Agriculture Program Manager.

In this course, women will learn how to manage price risk using tools like forward contracts, futures and options contracts, alternative marketing contracts, and crop insurance. Participants will work in a computer lab to access online decision tools and to develop a marketing plan.

Women will learn market strategies and how to stay on track for longterm marketing success.

Classes are 6 to 9 p.m. with a free meal served at 5:30 p.m. Registration for each program is $75 with a deadline of May 26.

To register, visit www. aep.iastate.edu/womeninag/2016/ames.html.

In Brief

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Many farmers were able to make good progress last week and now 96 percent of corn and 74 percent of soybeans

are planted statewide.

Farmers will be anxious to plant the remaining acres of corn and soybeans, but could be delayed again as wet weather is forecast for much of the state,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture. gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia.

Consumer Trends: Beef top of mind in Iowa When Iowa consumers think about buying dinner, beef is top of mind.

In fact, 82 percent of Iowa consumers said beef was a top choice for dinner according to the Consumer Beef Index (CBI). The Iowa Beef Industry Council partnered with the Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska state beef councils to provide consumer insights for each state as it compared nationally.

McKinstry Continued from Page 1A “Sometimes I will get up at 4 a.m. so I can be there as the sun comes up and catch everything at it is coming alive,” McKinstry said.

He’s also found that people visiting the area enjoy and appreciate being photographed.

“If I’m at Red Rock or some place like that, they appreciate it because most of them aren’t carrying a camera and if they are they can’t get a couples photo,” McKinstry said.

McKinstry posts most of his photos to his Facebook page for his subjects to enjoy and share. He knows how important it is for people to have records of memories they make

and to be able to share them with friends and family.

“I photograph family constantly, as soon as they walk up to the door.

You can never have too many pictures,” McKinstry said. “One of my grandchildren asked me one time, ‘Grandpa Jim, how come you take so many photos?’ I said once that moment is passed, it’s gone and when you capture that moment on film, you have it and it is a good memory to have.”

McKinstry’s wildlife photography is currently on display at Uncle Nancy’s Coffeehouse at 114 N. Second Ave. W. The art will be available for viewing through May. Contact Jamee A. Pierson at 641-792-3121 ext. 6534 or jpierson@newtondailynews.com

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Monday night’s school board meeting included recognition of several Newton High School winter and spring athletic and activities accolades and awards. Here, NHS senior Derek Richtsmeier, one of five DECA national qualifiers at the February state competition, is joined by NHS business teacher Karla Cazett.

NCSD Continued from Page 1A the awarding of a few bids for contract work at two district buildings.

The Berg Complex, which has been remodeled several times through the years and has become the focus of some ongoing maintenance issue and cost-efficiency strain, that has led to a bond issue for its replacement, requires some equipment replacements. The board unanimously approved a contract with Warnick & Reeves Mechanical of Newton to supply and install three new condenser units at a cost of about $48,000 and an automation system from Siemens for $37,000. Maintenance Supervisor Jack Suttek described both as “band-aid fixes,” thought the condensers are not built-in, and could be moved to another building later if the Berg Complex is torn down and replaced.

The other physical-plant item was to retroactively approve a contract with Warnick & Reeves to complete a storm drain at the E.J.H. Beard Administration building on First Avenue West for about $19,000. This was needed work to help the flat roof drain through three drain pipes and all the way to the street, with the 10-inch drain across the parking lot needing to be done before the upcoming repaving of the parking lot.

e D a dlin y l r a The deadline E for the May 31st

The board has a regular meeting scheduled for June 13. The meeting is tentatively planned to take place at Emerson Hough, but that could change if planned work on the HVAC system means the building would have no air conditioning on that night.

In other action Monday, the board: • Recognized several winter and spring athletic and activities individual Newton High School honorees, ranging from state qualifiers in spring sports to DECA to all-state basketball.

• Held a lengthy discussion about the upcoming Sept. 13 Berg Complex bond vote, including deadlines for legal actions and a report from school board members who are also on the Bond Committee. As summer begins, bond committee members plan to make a higher-visibility push to promote a “yes” vote on the bond, to continue writing and reading letters to the editor regarding the bond, and to encourage voters to visit the committee’s website, www.preservethepride.com.

• Heard from several district principals who read their students’ sentiments as part of School Board Recognition Month.

• Approved several club and team fundraisers.

The last day of school

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

O

n Friday, both of my daughters had their last day of school.

The last day of school for pre-schoolers is a field trip to Blank Park Zoo along with lunch and time to play at a park.

We had been counting down the days until we got to go to the zoo. It isn’t the first or even the fifth time they have been there in their short lives, but you wouldn’t know that by the excitement they showed.

My mom came along with us on the trip, thankfully, to help corral both of the kiddos along with any extras we had with us. The morning started like

most mornings, me getting every last second of sleep possible then getting the girls ready in an organized chaos fashion.

As requested, the girls then went to my parents’ house for breakfast. My oldest requested Grandee’s special pancakes, which, I guess are a lot better than mine.

I went home to throw together sack lunches for the girls, which is quite difficult since they have such a limited palate to begin with. I settled on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, oranges, chips and cookies. Not the healthiest but you can’t win them all.

We met the girls at the zoo after their bus ride there. I’m sure they could fill up column inches on how fantastic it is to ride the bus from the excitement over riding in the thing.

The next hour or so was spent visiting each animal along with the other dozen schools who decided to visit that morning as well. I wish I could say it was a great time had by all, but I was always a little on edge making sure one of my kids didn’t wander off. The girls, of course, made the trip worth it with their genuine excitement over each creature we saw.

The visit ended on a clunk when my oldest took a spill and the world ended because she scraped her hand. We thankfully recovered and sent them on their way to the park where we would eat lunch.

To my surprise, both of the girls

gobbled down their lunches. I figured with so much activity around them neither would get touched but I guess they might have worked up an appetite since breakfast.

When they were done, they ran off to play at the impressive playground at Ewing Park. After about an hour of swinging, climbing and sliding, we decided to head home.

I can’t thank the girls’ teachers enough for everything they have done this year. I am constantly amazed with how much they learn and the new ideas and knowledge they bring home after a day at school.

I am always in awe that they not only take care of but also teach 20 three and four year olds daily. Thanks ladies, you are awesome.

How to act in the men’s room Since I am assured the bathroom down at my favorite seven-stool, five-table, no-we-don’thave-a-blender bar is about to be overrun by female-to-male transgender freedom fighters, I figured I’d help ‘em out a little bit.

First of all, I assume most of them will just buy the clothes and get the haircut. And then, when they go into my men’s room, they’ll just skitter into a stall, like I’m sure my wife does.

They’re going to miss the fun and camaraderie of public urination. That’s why I urge people who want to become men to get the surgery. It’s expensive and it hurts, but I really can’t stand with you until you stand next to me, if you know what I’m saying.

If you get re-plumbed, you’ve already broken one of the man rules by going to the doctor voluntarily. If you’re a real man, then you go to the doctor only when you’ve got a piece of metal embedded in you somewhere or your wife makes you go.

But let’s say you have gone, and you are now a physical man. You’re gonna want to belly up to the urinal.

First of all, those “no eye contact” and “no talking” rules are for guys who have never been in the military, or in prison, or had an outside job where the boss didn’t provide bathroom facilities.

For men, the whole world is our bathroom.

We’re like dogs. We’re not embarrassed by anything that might happen or any vile sounds or smells we might produce. In fact, if you just got the plumbing re-done, I recommend you start by relieving yourself outside. Live the freedom. Another good place to begin is one of those sports stadiums where, instead of urinals, they have a long trough and you stand shoulder-to-shoulder, talking about that last home run. I once saw a guy stand at just such a sports stadium trough, eating a slice of pizza with his right hand while his left remained out of sight. I couldn’t give him any lip about it, either. I was smoking a cigar.

You don’t have to wash your hands when you’re done, either. To be honest, most of us don’t. I told you, we’re not embarrassed by anything. You can check your hair in the mirror before you go — in case that nice-looking girl at the bar lets you buy her a drink. She’ll notice if your hair looks good, but she’ll never know you didn’t wash your hands, so why bother?

As to what you say to the guy next to you, talk about that girl at the bar. Ask him what the line is on the game. You don’t have to specify which game, either. He’ll know.

If you can’t think of anything else, say, “You don’t buy beer, you just rent it.” He’ll laugh. Trust me. I’ve heard that line 416,000 times and I’ve laughed every time.

You ready? Tell ya what. There are probably five guys in there. Let’s just go out by the dumpster.

You get any on these shoes and I’ll kill ya.

YOUR VIEW

Bishop is behind political attacks While Doug Bishop and his pack of good old boy bullies at the courthouse have tried to tear down my brother, our State Representative Dan Kelley, I’ve remained silent.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone who gets my vote, my brother Dan. He works hard, stands up for single-working mothers like me, and shows he cares about the kids in this community by fighting for our local schools.

I’ve never been involved in politics other than supporting my brother and voting for Democrats.

But when Doug Bishop’s sister wrote a letter to this newspaper saying my brother wasn’t good enough to serve in the legislature because he doesn’t have enough money, I decided it was time to

It’s time for a change It’s time for a change; simple as that. As I am getting older, yes that can be hard to admit, it is more evident to me how important it is to research candidates and take part in elections. Previously, I use to have the mentality of “I am only one vote.” However now, I fully realize that one vote can make a difference. Born and raised in Jasper County, we have a pride of our community. When we watch negative segments on the news stations, it can seem like a personal attack. It is time for a change.

After reading and watching several local events the last few months, I knew it was time I started to get involved. I did my “homework” and researched the

respond.

Doug Bishop is a bully. Everyone who went to Newton schools in the 80s knows it, the hard-working Maytag UAW members he failed know it, and as a result of his dishonest political attacks on Dan, Jasper County Democrats get it.

Veterans get it too. Doug is using his status with veterans to bully anyone who doesn’t follow his orders. I’m proud of Dan for standing up to him.

Dan fights hard for veterans.

Always has and always will. In fact, he’s sponsored and voted for many bills to help those who have sacrificed and served. He does so in honor of our grandpa who served our country as a gunner on a battleship during World War II. Doug Bishop insults my grandfather’s service, his memory and my family with his dishonest smear campaign against Dan. The blood spilled by my family for this

country is just as red as the blood spilled by Bishops.

Dan is fighting to make good on a promise the legislature made to veterans before he was even elected. He wants them to get what they were promised, a fully funded Veterans Trust Fund.

I know for a fact, Dan reached out to Doug and asked him to help with this effort as well as to help bring the Home Base Iowa program to Jasper County. Doug replied with a letter to the paper bad-mouthing Dan and then sent him a childish, name-calling text message.

A few days later, Wes Breckenridge, called Dan and said, “Doug Bishop told me to tell you to be quiet.” Breckenridge is just a “yes man” for a bully.

Vote for my brother, Representative Dan Kelley on June 7.

candidates that are running for a position in which represents our community. This person must be able to be our one voice for all of us. I marked my calendar to make sure I remembered to vote. This was until I learned more information on requesting an absentee ballot. A few simple questions are all it took. My vote is in; my voice is heard. No need for me to worry about what sporting events my son may have that day/night. My duty to this community has been completed.

Throughout any election, it appears that some feel the negative road is the approach to take.

This is the biggest thing that has turned me away from politics.

Show me what YOU have to offer, not try to make up stories about your opponent. This is where I started to take a step forward in which deciding to select someone to represent our com-

munity.

As a community we need: Someone who wants to listen to us as a community. Someone who takes the time to meet with our community. Someone who is willing to provide all of his contact information to our community. We as a community need Wes Breckenridge.

On more than one occasion, Wes has been present at local events. He isn’t there to pass out postcards telling you to vote for him. Instead he is there talking with the community.

While I know not everyone agrees on every single topic, I encourage you to do your research and take part in all elections. Our community needs Wes Breckenridge for State Representative Iowa House District 29. Our community deserves it.

Funding for cancer sufferer seems brazen to co-worker

DEAR ABBY: A co-worker has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

She’s not sure how long she may have.

She is relatively young, so it’s tragic. We have excellent insurance from work, national health care and disability insurance.

Another co-worker sent out an email with a link to a crowdfunding site as well as an invitation to a party selling products. The proceeds will be donated to fulfilling a “cancer bucket list,” which includes pampering, trips and other luxuries.

I sympathize with anyone having a terminal illness, but why does that mean I have to give money? Do they have a right to be pampered on other people’s dime?

This kind of fundraising, without real financial need, seems to happen often: Co-workers who have had accidents, fires, unexpected or stressful incidents all have office collections set up, even when they are fully insured and the damage is covered by their policies. A friend (or Human Resources) contacts everyone who has had even a passing interaction with the individual and solicits donations.

I am happy to write letters and notes to people I know are having a hard time. I visit with closer friends and may bring a meal or flowers to their home. But people I’ve spent only a few hours of my life with asking for money for luxuries seems nervy to me. Am I a tightwad, or is a financial donation necessary to express condolences? — TIGHTWAD IN CANADA DEAR TIGHTWAD: Because you receive a solicitation does not mean you are obligated to respond to it. (Unless the “solicitor” is holding a gun, in which case I would advise you not to argue.) Whether to make a donation for something like this is your CHOICE, and if you choose not to join in, you should not feel — or be

made to feel — guilty if you decline.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is being married in June. Her father — my ex — has let her know she must invite his new wife’s parents to the wedding.

They are drinkers, and have in the past been very rude to my daughter. She has no relationship at all with them and doesn’t want them at her wedding. She is aware that this will cause hard feelings with her stepmother and her father.

My soon-to-be son-in-law called me asking for advice. I said maybe they should be invited to keep peace in the family, but my daughter is very upset at the idea of having these people around on her “special day.” Any advice? — WEDDING INVITE IN WISCONSIN DEAR WEDDING INVITE: Your ex-husband’s new in-laws are not related to your daughter and do not appear to have made an effort to befriend her. Because of that, I see no reason why they “must” be invited, unless your ex is footing the bill for the wedding.

If this is the case, and the wedding is a large one, the couple could be seated “in Siberia,” which might be a less than satisfactory, but workable, solution.

(Why they would insist on coming under these circumstances, I can’t say, but some people will do almost anything for a free dinner.)

Former supervisor gets probation, restitution ALLISON — A former Butler County supervisor convicted of theft in a plea deal has been given probation and ordered to pay back nearly $1,900.

Governor to sign High school students at closing renewable fuel school receive scholarships bill in Newton

F

ARMINGTON (AP) — A Farmington high school that’s closing its doors has given college scholarships to each of its students.

Harmony High School’s graduating class of 21 students each received a $2,900 scholarship in an envelope at the graduation ceremony Sunday. Students are allowed to use the scholarship at any school of their choice.

Additionally, juniors and sophomores who didn’t graduate will receive more than $2,400 to attend Indian Hills Community College or Southeastern Community College when they complete high school.

Superintendent Kerry Phillips says the scholarships were made possible by two alumni who donated money to the Harmony School District after they died. To this date, they’ve provided more than 120 scholarships of more than $120,000 total.

Next year, Harmony High School students will attend Van Buren High School in Keosauqua.

“While all graduations are special, this day is memorable as it is the last graduation to take place at Harmony,” Phillips said.

Newton Daily News Gov. Terry Branstad will make a Newton stop Tuesday for a public bill signing in Newton.

Branstad will sign Senate File 2309 at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Renewable Energy Group, 3426 E. 28th St. N. The act provides tax credits and refunds relating to renewable fuels including their component biofuels and including effective date provisions. This bill passed the Iowa Senate 49-0 on April 13 and the Iowa House 88-6 on April 21. The event is open to the media.

Branstad According to the governor’s office the appearance was rescheduled from Mason City to Newton because the governor has a seasonal cold. Branstad on Monday canceled a day of public events.

Man convicted of killing Iowa lawmaker’s two sisters PITTSBURGH (AP) — A jury in Pennsylvania convicted a man Monday in the slayings of two neighbors — sisters of an Iowa state lawmaker — and now must decide whether his punishment should be death or to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Allegheny County jurors found Allen Wade, 45, guilty on all charges brought against him, including criminal homicide, robbery and burglary.

Prosecutors say Wade fatally shot Susan Wolfe, 44, and Sarah Wolfe, 38, after they returned from work on Feb. 6, 2014. Then he stole a bank card belonging to one of the women and withdrew $600, prosecutors said.

During closing arguments Wednesday, Deputy District Attorney Bill Petulla used crime scene photos, DNA-stained clothes and bags containing pieces of evidence to form a trail across the courtroom floor, from the jury box to the defense table. “All roads lead right to Allen Wade,” he told jurors.

Prosecutors showed surveillance video of a man in a hooded sweatshirt stopping at the automated teller machine where the money was withdrawn.

They said the man in the video was Wade. They also said Wade’s DNA was found under the fingernail of Susan Wolfe and the DNA of both Wade and Sarah Wolfe was on a sock found along the route they contend Wade took to the ATM.

resilient and has handled this situation to the best of their ability.

I am fully aware it was not easy.

The decisions made throughout this process impacted this group more than any other. However, I have seen the self-confidence and resolve these students posses.”

Phillips said that the Harmony School Board has also created two scholarship trusts that’ll allow future high school gradu-

ates in the Harmony area to seek funding to attend the two community colleges.

“When I found out about the scholarship, we didn’t know it was coming,” said 17-year-old Taylor Diephuis, who will attend Southeastern Community College in the fall. “We knew there was a surprise, but I cried.

It was a happy moment. Anything helps, it was a great surprise.”

Eastern Iowa attraction renovated to meet disability standards DAVENPORT (AP) — The Ferris wheel in Davenport has been renovated to allow people with disabilities to enjoy a ride.

One of the Ferris wheel’s gondolas at the city-owned Modern Woodmen Park has been widened enough to accommodate a rider in a wheelchair and a second rider.

Davenport resident Bruce Beyer said he expected to be able to ride the Ferris wheel when it

opened in 2014, but he soon discovered it didn’t have a proper loading ramp or accessible gondola for his wheelchair.

“I sat there the first night and thought, ‘Wait a minute; I can’t get on this,’” he said. “That’s how the ball got rolling.”

The manufacturer, the city and River Bandits management agreed to redo the Ferris wheel gondola after Beyer and two other men with wheelchairs —

Mitch Swanson and Gary McDermott — told the Davenport Civil Rights Commission that the Ferris wheel didn’t fit Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

“I was with Mitch at the ballgame, and we decided to see if we could take a ride,” said Gary McDermott, who is chairman for the city of Clinton’s ADA commission. “Unfortunately, we were not able to access the Ferris wheel.”

Many Vietnam vets say they support lifting of arms embargo CHICAGO (AP) — The way Terry Neilen sees it, lifting the ban on U.S. arms sales to Vietnam makes sense in the face of China’s growing influence in the region.

Fellow Vietnam veteran Ned Foote said Americans long ago forgave Germany and Japan for World War II, so there’s no reason not to do the same with Vietnam.

“We’re actually acting as a team in a sense,” said Neilen,

of Saratoga Springs, New York, who served in the Army infantry in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968. “They’re joining together to give a show of strength.”

Foote, who heads the New York State Council of Vietnam Veterans of America, noted that the Vietnamese have helped account for missing American service members.

President Barack Obama’s decision to lift the half-centu-

ry-old arms embargo was seen Monday by many veterans as a logical outgrowth of efforts to normalize relations between the U.S. and the southeast Asian nation that has become a major trading partner since the war ended in 1975.

Obama, looking to bolster a government regarded as a crucial ally in the region, vowed to leave behind the troubled history between the former enemies and embrace

a new era. He steered clear of any condemnation of Vietnam for its treatment of dissidents.

“The war’s over,” said Bernard Edelman, deputy director of government affairs for the Vietnam Veterans of America.

He said the organization has not taken an official position on the president’s action, but he compared it to U.S. efforts after World War

II to normalize relations with Japan, Germany, Austria and Italy.

“We’ve tried to build bridges to the Vietnamese,” Edelman said, while acknowledging that people “whom I know and love and respect might be angry at what the president’s doing.”

Robert Turner, 68, of North Andover, Massachusetts, said he’s “totally opposed” to allowing arms sales to Vietnam.

Sanders: Democratic convention could be ‘messy’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bernie Sanders predicted Monday that the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia could be “messy” as he pushed the party to adopt his progressive agenda, but added, “Democracy is not always nice and quiet and gentle.”

The Democratic presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press that his supporters hoped to see a platform at the July convention that reflects the needs of working families, the poor and young people as opposed to one that represents Wall Street and corporate America.

The Vermont senator said he will “condemn any and all forms of violence” but his campaign was bringing in newcomers to the process and first-time attendees of political conventions. He said the Democratic Party could choose to be more inclusive.

“I think if they make the right

choice and open the doors to working-class people and young people and create the kind of dynamism that the Democratic Party needs, it’s going to be messy,” Sanders said.

“Democracy is not always nice and quiet and gentle but that is where the Democratic Party should go.”

Asked if the convention could be messy, Sanders said: “So what? Democracy is messy. Everyday my life is messy. But if you want everything to be quiet and orderly and allow, you know, just things to proceed without vigorous debate, that is not what democracy is about.”

Sanders is vying for support ahead of California’s June 7 primary, a day that also includes contests in New Jersey and four other states.

Rival Hillary Clinton has 271 more pledged delegates than Sanders and is just 90 delegates shy of clinching the nomination when the total includes superdelegates, the party officials and elected leaders who

can support the candidate of their choice.

Sanders said he had a “shot” at winning the June 7 California primary against Hillary Clinton and said, given his delegate deficit, it was “imperative” that he perform well.

“What happens if I win a major victory in California? Will people say, ‘Oh, we’re really enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton despite the fact that Bernie Sanders has now won whatever it may be, 25 states, half the states?’” he said.

If that happens, he added, superdelegates “may rethink that. That is why you want the process to play out.”

The senator spoke after the Democratic National Committee announced a 15-member platform drafting committee, which write the first draft of the party platform and will include allies of both candidates.

WASHINGTON (AP) — National Football League officials improperly sought to influence a government study on the link between football and brain disease, according to a senior House Democrat in a report issued Monday.

New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone says the league tried to strong-arm the National Institutes of Health into taking the project away from a researcher who the NFL feared was biased.

The NFL had agreed to donate $30 million to the NIH to fund brain research but backed out after the institutes went ahead with a $16 million grant to prominent Boston University researcher Robert Stern. He’s a leading expert on the link between football and brain diseases such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Taxpayers are instead bearing the cost.

The NFL denied Pallone’s findings.

“The NFL rejects the allegations,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement Monday. The league acknowledged it had raised concerns about the study and a potential conflict of interest involving Stern, but McCarthy said the NFL had communicated its concerns through appropriate channels. It noted that the league stands behind its $30 million promise and that the government ultimately made the decision on funding the study in question.

Some of the members of the NFL’s Head, Neck and Spine Committee who opposed Stern had also sought the grant.

Critics say the NFL has long downplayed the link between football and brain damage, alleging that an NFL committee on brain injury had long ignored or minimized the link between repetitive head trauma and brain damage.

“This investigation confirms the NFL inappropriately attempted to use its unrestricted gift as leverage to steer funding away from one of its critics,” Pallone said. “Since its research agreement with NIH was clear that it could not weigh in on the grant selection process, the NFL should never have tried to influence that process.”

Pallone initiated the investigation after ESPN reported that the NFL had backed out of funding the NIH study because of its objections to Stern.

Stern has been vocal about the connection between football collisions and brain damage and filed a declaration opposing a settlement between the NFL and former players, fearing that deserving players would not be compensated.

NFL Medical Director Dr. Elliot Pellman emailed the executive director of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, which raises private funding for NIH research, and said the league had significant concerns regarding Boston University “and their ability to be unbiased and collaborative.”

New Mexico joining effort to rehabilitate historic theaters Similar to Iowa, Illinois programs RATON, N.M. (AP) — For years, the Shuler Theater in this once-booming New Mexico mining town sat empty in a desolate downtown. It had long passed its heyday as a hot spot for Italian immigrants and Hispanic workers who visited to take in a traveling show or a newly released movie.

But today the 101-year-old Raton venue again is attracting audiences from as far as Trinidad, Colorado just across the state line for variety shows and will soon be ready to screen any Star Wars movie. That change comes as New Mexico is joining other states in pushing an initiative to revitalize downtown districts in isolated, small towns by rehabilitating aging, historic theaters.

An economic development program, similar to efforts in Iowa and Illinois, seeks save the often-forgotten facilities like the Shuler Theater with help on refurbishing buildings and grants for new digital projection and sound equipment.

With state funding, cities can develop new business plans and retool theaters’ dusty interiors so they can become main attractions in rural areas, New Mexico Economic Development Department Secretary Jon Barela said.

“These theaters are part of our history,” said Barela, who

went to a small theater in Las Cruces as a child. “They are beautiful architectural gems and they are anchors of the community.”

Since January 2013, the state has set aside around $100,000 each for eight theaters, Barela said.

Like refurbished small theaters in other states, New Mexico officials believe reviving theaters in ranching towns and small cities near American Indian reservations will help create jobs in struggling downtown districts and spark excitement in entertainment deserts. Some, such as El Morro Theatre in Gallup, New Mexico, are located along the iconic Route 66 next to the Navajo Nation while others, such as the Lyceum Theater in Clovis, sit just across the New Mexico-Texas state line.

The theaters serve as places audiences can take in a newly released film or play.

Barela said he came up with the idea about reviving theaters after visiting Raton’s Shuler Theater and learning about planned renovations.

Hours later, he was in Clayton and hearing about the closing of its theater. Residents in the northeastern New Mexico community would be forced to travel around 80 miles to see a movie, he discovered.

Barela said he had no idea that similar publicly and privately funded programs were taking place in other states.

For example, the Iowa Eco-

AP Photo This photo shows the newly refurbished Shuler Theater in downtown Raton, N.M. is one of many theaters in rural New Mexico towns being revitalized thanks to a state initiative. A New Mexico economic development program, similar to efforts in Iowa and Illinois, seeks to save the often-forgotten theaters in small cities and towns with help on refurbishing buildings and grants for new digital projection and sound equipment.

nomic Development Authority’s Iowa Downtown Resource Center announced last year a pilot program aimed at rescuing performance venues in historic buildings in seven rural communities. The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency also has helped historic theaters like the 500-seat Phoenix Opera House in Rushville.

Ken Stein, president of the League of Historic American

Theaters, said a historic theater in a small city has the potential to sustain 27 full-time-equivalent jobs and generate around $84,000 in revenue for state and local governments.

Bill Fegan, who helps run the Shuler Theater in Raton, says the revamped venue is already helping the city’s downtown. This week, a new Italian restaurant opened. “We have people walking around down-

town when we have shows,” Fegan said. “It feels alive.”

Tabatha Lawson, executive director of Lovington Main Street in Lovington, New Mexico, said the newly refurbished Lea Theatre is keeping residents in town for entertainment. “Some residents are so excited because they remember coming here as kids,” Lawson said. “And they end up telling us about their first kiss.”

Are Iowa school bomb threats Supreme Court rejects casino owner’s appeal linked to nationwide hoaxes?

DES MOINES (AP) — Authorities are trying to determine whether bomb threats at four Iowa schools are linked to threats reported nationwide.

Valley High School and Altoona Elementary School in the Des Moines area and Excelsior Middle School in Marion and Tate High School in Iowa City received calls and were evacuated Monday.

It is unclear whether the Iowa threats were linked and, if so, were linked only to each

other or were part of the national outbreak reported Monday.

Hoaxers playing online games in recently months have used identity-disguising tools to anonymously threaten schools online or in phone messages with electronic voices to trigger police response. The latest threats led to the evacuation of schools in Colorado, Utah, Delaware, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Wisconsin.

DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has refused to pump new life into the lawsuit filed by owners of the former Argosy Sioux City riverboat casino against state regulators and other parties.

On Monday the Supreme Court denied the Belle of

Sioux City’s request for the court to review the Iowa Appeals Court ruling that upheld lower court decisions that led to the casino’s closure.

The Appeals Court concluded the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission acted

properly in 2013 when it decided to grant a gambling license to the land-based Hard Rock casino and reject an application by the Argosy’s owners. It was owned by the Belle of Sioux City, a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming Co.

Iowa woman who died after rafting accident ID’d CANON CITY, Colo. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a woman who died after a rafting accident on the Arkansas River.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office says 60-year-old Debra Brymer, of Nashua, Iowa, was on a trip with her husband and grandson when

she fell out of a commercial raft near Canon City on Sunday. Officials believe an autopsy will show that she went into cardiac arrest or drowned.

Reynolds qualifies for 4th 4A golf state Newton girls take third at regional

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Perseverance paid off for Newton High senior Jessica Reynolds Monday in the Iowa Class 4A Regional Girls’ Golf Tournament on her home course. It wasn’t her best round of golf, but it was good enough.

Reynolds struggled on the front nine holes of Newton’s Westwood Golf Course, shooting a 50.

“The good thing about an 18-hole tournament is you have a fresh nine holes to play half way through,” Reynolds said after carding a 40 on the back nine, which helped her qualify for her fourth straight Class 4A state golf tournament.

Cardinal boys win substate opener in double overtime

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior goalkeeper Griffin Engel grabs the ball almost off the foot of Bondurant-Farrar’s Jarrid Clark as Newton High senior defender Dalton Nevels (6) comes over to help deny Clark a goal in the first half. The two teams played to a scoreless tie after 80 minutes of regulation play and one 10-minute overtime period. Newton won Monday’s 2A substate opener 1-0 with six minutes left in the second overtime to advance in the playoffs.

Something had to give.

Newton High’s Cardinals and Bondurant-Farrar’s Bluejays were playing a very defensive soccer game. For 80 minutes of regulation play, each team had missed on a few solid scoring opportunities, and they were locked in a scoreless contest — a very important contest.

There was no tomorrow for the loser of Monday’s Iowa Class 2A Substate 6 soccer game.

The Cardinals and Bluejays finished the first 10-minute overtime period still tied.

Something had to give.

Newton was awarded a direct kick. Junior Josh Gulling lined up as the rest of the players settled into position.

Gulling kicked the ball into the middle of the box, it deflected off the head of Bondurant-Farrar’s Louis Lang and the ball went into the net.

The Cardinals celebrated a 1-0 victory on the own goal scored by the Bluejays at the 6:44 mark of the second 10-minute overtime period. Newton advances to the 2A Substate 6 semifinals Wednesday.

Colfax-Mingo softball ends L-S’ long win streak in SICL

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The beginning of its time in the South Iowa Cedar League couldn’t have started any better for the Colfax-Mingo softball team on Monday night.

In the opening inning of season opener, freshman Colbee Cunningham got three quick outs in the circle and then the Tigerhawk bats erupted at the plate.

Colfax-Mingo sent 13 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first inning. It led 7-0 before Lynnville-Sully recorded an out, and the Tigerhawks cruised to a 15-4, five-inning home win during the season opener for both teams.

The loss for Lynnville-Sully was the Hawks’ first defeat inside the SICL since June 1, 2012. The Hawks had won 78 straight conference games before losing to Colfax-Mingo on Monday.

“We came down from a Class 2A schedule. I think we can play well in this classifi-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Alivia Haley had three hits and scored three runs in the Tigerhawks’ win over Lynnville-Sully on Monday. Colfax-Mingo won 15-4 in five innings, ending the Hawks’ 78-game win streak inside the South Iowa Cedar League.

cation,” Colfax-Mingo coach Bryan Poulter said. “Up and down the lineup, we have a lot of girls that swing the bat and do a lot of good things.”

Cunningham allowed the Tigerhawks to take an early lead when she retired the Hawks in order in the first inning.

Colfax-Mingo sophomore Ries Wilson began the Tigerhawks’ first offensive inning of the season with a double, and the hits and runs just kept

coming. The inning included a two-run single by Cunningham and RBI singles by Rhiannon Haley and Alivia Haley.

“The key was the top of the inning. Colbee got on top of the batters right away, threw strikes and moved the ball around well. We got an out really quick and the defense took us into our offense,” Poulter said. “The offense did a good job of looking for pitches that wanted to swing at and drive and stayed away from things that they couldn’t drive. We kept moving around the bases.”

The Tigerhawks led 10-0 at one point. Lynnville-Sully rallied briefly to close within 10-4, but the Tigerhawks came right back with another big inning to end the game in five innings.

Cunningham allowed just six hits to the Hawks, who placed fifth at the Class 1A state tournament last season.

PCM duo falls short of state berth

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

NEVADA — Prairie City-Monroe golfers Breanna Maher and Madeline Mitchell don’t get to play together in competitive tournaments too often.

Maher usually plays with a group of other No. 1s while Mitchell is in with other No. 2s. Monday, during the final round of a Class 3A regional at Indian Creek Country Club, the PCM duo had the chance to walk the links together.

Unfortunately, it will be the last time Maher and Mitchell walk a course for a high school tournament this season as both players fell short of advancing to the state meet.

Maher shot a 92 and was two strokes out of a top-five spot. Mitchell got off to a solid start but had trouble finishing the first nine holes. She carded a 105 in all.

Maher had a pair of 9s on the front nine. That could have been the difference in finishing two strokes behind Erin Olson of Atlantic and Anna Carlson of Shenandoah, who both shot a 90 to clinch the final two spots for the state meet.

Brooke Newell of Atlantic won medalist honors with an 80. She was five shots better than Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s Jill Itzen and six strokes better than Nevada’s Claire Ausman. Clarinda’s Grace Davidson shot an 87 and was the other individual

Grichuk’s homer in ninth lifts Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — Randal Grichuk told reporters Monday afternoon that his sore back was OK. A few hours later, Grichuk proved it with his first career walk-off home run.

Grichuk’s solo homer in the bottom of the ninth lifted the St. Louis Cardinals to a 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs.

“I was trying to battle and get a pitch in the zone and put good wood on it and get on,” Grichuk said. “Luckily, I was able to get a homer.”

Matt Adams tied the score with a two-run homer in the seventh for St. Louis’ major league-leading ninth pinch-hit homer of the season. It also ended a streak of 13 innings of onerun pitching by Chicago starter John Lackey against his former team.

“This is a team that can do damage in a hurry,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.

“That’s something we haven’t had in the past as much, the ability for quite a few guys in that lineup that feel good about getting the ball over the fence and create instant offense.”

Grichuk drove a 2-2 pitch off of Adam Warren (3-1) for the win.

Adams drove a high changeup to straight-away center to revive what was a stagnant offense against Lackey. It was Adams’

second pinch-hit homer this season and he’s hitting .500 off the bench.

“It’s no secret,” Adams said. “I just make sure I’m ready to go when my name’s called.”

Trevor Rosenthal (2-1) pitched a scoreless ninth.

The Cubs’ Ben Zobrist had three singles and a walk, extending his streak to 29 starts with reaching safely. He is hitting .387 during that span.

St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright pitched in and out of trouble throughout his six innings, scattering seven hits and stranding eight runners, while throwing 68 of his 108 pitches for strikes.

“I had great stuff tonight,” Wainwright said. “I loved my stuff. I just have to attack a little better than I did in a couple of those innings. But that stuff translates. That’s going to play well the rest of the season.”

Lackey gave up three runs in seven economical innings. He struck out nine while throwing just 87 pitches.

“He was really, really, sharp,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

“They hit a lot of pop ups, a lot of soft contact.”

Miguel Montero’s second single of the game tied it at 1-1 in the fourth, breaking a 26-inning scoreless streak Wainwright had against the Cubs dating back to

May 13, 2014.

Javier Baez followed with a bunt, but was awarded an infield single after Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong failed to backup first on the play, setting up a fielder’s choice from Addison Russell that made it 2-1 Cubs.

Anthony Rizzo drove in his 35th run of the year with a broken-bat single in the fifth.

“Sometimes in my position when they’ve pushed couple across, they get ducks on the pond, you have to limit those innings and keep your team in the game and we kept it close enough so (Adams) could make a big swing and (Grichuk) could make a big swing,” Wainwright said.

Aledmys Diaz gave the Cardinals’ an early lead with a sacrifice fly in the third.

Flyin’ Hawaiian released The Cubs released OF Shane Victorino from his minor league contract. Victorino won World Series titles with Philadelphia and Boston and played earlier this month for Triple-A Iowa.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High players, in white uniforms, celebrate as Bondurant-Farrar players feel the dejection of the 1-0 Class 2A Substate soccer loss Monday in Newton. A direct kick by Newton’s Josh Gulling (13) deflected off a Bluejay player into his own goal for the winner in double overtime.

Soccer Continued from Page 1B “I was aiming for the back post. I was just trying to put a playable ball in,” Gulling said of his direct kick. “It was a very physical game. I have to give a lot of credit to our defenders. They did an amazing job of stopping No. 8 (Jarrid Clark), who is a skilled player.”

Newton senior goalkeeper Griffin Engel was credited with 10 saves in the 95 of play Monday. Most of those shots on goal by the Bluejays were made by senior forward Jarrid

Clark.

“Griffin played a big game tonight. He made a great save in the first overtime, which kept us in the game. He bailed us out the whole night,” Newton head coach Sackda Viravong said.

Engel said he had a lot of help from the Newton defenders Jordan Norvell, Dalton Nevels, Justin Fischer and Zach Combs to name a view.

“I came into the game knowing this could be my last game for Newton and just gave my all,” Griffin said of his performance. “In the first half, No. 8 was kind of problem for us, but in the second half we

made an adjustment and shut him down.”

The Cardinals put 13 shots on goal against the Jays’ goalie Nick Herman, who made 13 saves. Each team had several strong scoring opportunities sail past the corners of the goals or smothered by one of the goalkeepers.

Newton senior forward Chet Adams had a couple of those shots on goal including a header earlier in overtime.

“It was a very physical game. Both teams came out rough, but we got better as the game progressed,” Adams said. “It was a big defensive game. Just like Griffin, I want-

ed to come out here tonight and give it my all.

“We get to play another day, which I’m very happy about.

We know this wasn’t our best game, but we come back tomorrow with a good practice to get ready for Wednesday.”

Newton (12-5) plays at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at No. 11 Winterset in a Substate 6 semifinal. No. 12 Adel-DeSoto-Minburn defeated Prairie City-Monroe 5-0 Monday to move into the other semifinal game Wednesday at No. 5 Dallas Center-Grimes.

The winners of the semifinal games play in the 2A Substate 6 title game at noon Sat-

urday at Winterset.

“We had a lot of opportunities to score, but we couldn’t quite find the net,” Viravong said. “Overall, this performance was not our best. We looked flat from the start and there was no energy on the field. We’ll take the win and get a chance to play more soccer on Wednesday.”

Newton senior Duncan Lee went out of the game with 5:37 left in regulation with a foot injury. Lee did not return to play.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Jessica Smith hits an approach shot during Monday’s Iowa Class 4A regional golf tournament at Westwood Golf Course. The Newton High senior finished out of the team scoring with a tough day on the course to wrap up her NHS golfing career.

Golf Continued from Page 1B “It’s bittersweet because we’re not going as a team this year. I just feel blessed to be going to my fourth state meet,” Reynolds said.

Newton finished third as a team with a 400, winning a tiebreaker against Adel-DeSoto-Minburn, which also had a 400. Fairfield ran away from the regional field, posting a winning four-player score of 368.

Pella placed second with a 384.

Fairfield and Pella qualified for the 2016 Iowa Class 4A Girls’ State Golf Tournament May 31-June 1 at Coldwater Links Golf Course in Ames.

The top five individuals advance to the state tournament.

Leading the way for Fair-

field was regional meet medalist Lindsay Repp with a 78.

Pella’s Camille Henry, Fairfield’s Olivia Hammel and ADM’s Lindsay Lange each shot an 89 with Henry taking the runner-up medal on tiebreakers.

For Newton seniors Emily Fitzgerald and Jessie Smith, Monday’s regional was their final round of golf for the Cardinals. Fitzgerald hit her tournament goal of a 95 with rounds of 48 and 47. Smith had trouble all day, and her 118 (57-61) was out of the team scoring for Newton.

Sophomore Alayna Reynolds finished with a 107 (5354) and junior Lizzy Coyle shot a 108 (56-52) as Newton’s other two scoring individuals. Sophomore Taylor Dydell end the season with a

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Emily Fitzgerald tees off No. 5 at Westwood Golf Course in Monday’s Class 4A regional golf tournament. She finished with a 95, tied for seventh place, wrapping up her Cardinal golf career.

113 (55-58) in regional play.

“We didn’t play as well as we wanted to today, but I’m proud of our girls,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said. “We’re happy for Jessica, but a bit sad we’re not going to state as a team.”

Enyart said Reynolds finished with five straight tap-in pars to reach her final score of the day after having a tough first round. Fitzgerald had a great round of golf on her final day as a Cardinal, Enyart said.

Reynolds said she got her confidence back as she began the final nine holes Monday.

“I felt a lot of pressure as the No. 1 golfer and to do well to help the team get back to state,” Reynolds said. “I finally just settled down and played my game.”

Enyart said there were highlights and low spots for each of the Newton golfers Monday.

“Emily’s goal was to score a 95 and she did. She was hitting the ball very well all day,” Enyart said. “Jessie — well, it just wasn’t her day, but handled it with character and was positive the whole day.”

Enyart said Alayna Reynolds and Coyle played better than their season averages.

Dydell was striking the ball great on the front nine, but the back nine hazards got to her, he said.

“The experience these three younger players got this season is so valuable for next year,” Enyart said. “This will give them confidence to become leaders.

“We had great leadership from our seniors this season.”

Astrograph

With Venus slipping into sophisticated Gemini, those who believe the world should conform to their expectations, accommodate their wishes and sway to their views will have a tough go of it, while the malleable of thought and flexible of mind find ways to make the most of a given environment.

The world was here first: Adaptation is intelligence.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 24). It’s a DIY kind of year. You may not wind up as autonomous as you expected to be, but you’ll have a much higher quality of support around you, because of your independent spirit. Love decorates the next 10 weeks

with surprises. The fantastic story that unfolds in September is one for the memoirs. Pisces and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 1, 22 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

It’s time to convince the childish part of yourself that your higher-minded self is worthy of just as much respect as the other authorities in your life and then a whole lot more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re in a position to be a tiebreaker; however, it is very likely that you will see both sides of the argument and agree with neither. Don’t vote just

because they ask you to. There has to be another answer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re learning the intricacies of an existing power dynamic.

What will it take to become so self-sufficient you no longer have to deal with this? Someone is going to be put in charge of you, so it may as well be you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The work doesn’t have to be pretty; it just has to get done.

Make this your mantra when too many ultimately meaningless details call out seductively to you like sirens on the rocks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve a genuine respect for younger people, as you see the unique creatures they are -- better

equipped for the future than anyone before has ever been.

Older people also have your admiration and loyalty, in a different way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There are sacred places in the world that are kept secret from people who wouldn’t understand them. Your humble spirit will ingratiate you somewhere that a proud attitude would never be invited.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

No one is the same in every situation. You’ll be around a person who brings out a rarely seen side of you and shows you something about your potential that you didn’t realize before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There are many ways to get attention. People around you now seem to be pulling out all the stops to get yours, some by being attractive and successful, others by being loud and needy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your instruction will be valuable help. You’ll also be excellent at matching individuals to the jobs they are best suited for and the people they are most compatible with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t assume you’re being understood or even heard. You may be surprised at what people are taking away from your conversation, and unless you check in and ask for feedback you won’t really know.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The funny people in your life are probably about as high-maintenance as they are intelligent -- and so worth every ounce of attention you pour into the relationship.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When you don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, waiting for it to come together can be anxiety-provoking. The more you learn about what’s involved in a production, the easier it will be to flow with the timing of it.
