Aaron Henning passes away due to fire-related injuries

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Newton Manufacturing declares bankruptcy

Firm to be sold to HALO, an Illinois branding company

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton Manufacturing has declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and is being purchased by HALO Branded Solutions, a Sterling, Ill. company.

The company has signed a “definitive agreement to purchase the business assets” of Newton Manufacturing Company, according to a news release issued

by HALO. Newton Manufacturing began Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings Friday in federal court, and

that filing was completed Monday.

“We have explored several options to resolve the difficult financial environment we have operated under for several months,” Newton Manufacturing President Mancil Laidig said in a news release. “It became clear that our greatest assets — the Newton sales force and the loyal team that supports them — would be best served with a Chapter 11 filing. Our goal is to work with the HALO team to retain as many of our valued employees as possible going forward.”

HALO CEO Marc Simon said his company has been reviewing Newton Manufacturing’s finances for “quite some time.” HALO attorneys filed a particular type of motion that will allow assets to be transferred

within 30 days.

HALO Branded Solutions has been around for more than 60 years. It claims to have more than 900 account executives throughout the U.S. and a support staff of more than 300.

Newton Manufacturing was founded in 1909 by George Newton, but hasn’t made new products since a fire destroyed manufacturing facilities in 1943.

The “Manufacturing” name was left intact for brand recognition.

The specialty advertising company has been employee-owned since 1988, and employees 59 people at the Newton facility.

Those employees support a nationwide network of hundreds of independent contractors.

A victim of a recent house fire who was severely burned has passed a w a y, a n d friends and family are rallying to support the family he left Henning behind.

Aaron Henning, 38, passed away early Monday morning, according to Mikie Hansen, a family friend.

Henning suffered burns over a great deal of his body in a May 25 fire at his in-laws’

home, where his wife, Genevieve, her niece and her parents were sleeping, and had been hospitalized since being transported by helicopter to Iowa City after the fire.

Aaron was able to help Genevieve escape through a ground-level basement window. She and a 5-year-old niece and her parents, who own the home, escaped without serious injuries.

However, Aaron had to get out of the house by a different route, and was burned over much of his body and suffered lung damage.

Nine involuntary transfers slated for NCSD Council approves

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News At its May 18 meeting, the Newton Community School District board heard and saw a presentation from its superintendent, Bob Callaghan, who is charged with assigning personnel for upcoming school years.

While superintendents often rely on input from supervisors or others for feedback about some faculty and/or staffing arrangements, the superintendent, in most American school systems, typically is given a great deal of freedom to make staffing decisions that meet the financial, legal and student needs, among others.

Tom Bartello, who was school administration manager at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, was chosen from a field of about 40 candidates to become the principal there. Lisa Sharp will leave her Thomas Jefferson principal position, accepting a re-assignment as principal at Berg Middle School.

Callaghan explained the staffing situation at the SAM and principal levels, especially as it pertains to Thomas Jefferson. He

seemed to be comparing it to a baseball league with tons of talent, trying to find a place to play everyone.

“All of our employees are valuable,” Callaghan said. “I know Ms. Sharp is loved at Thomas

Jefferson. She’s an exceptional leader, and that’s what we can do to enhance our middle-school program. People say ‘Look at Mr. Bauer — he was the finalist every TRANSFERS | 3A

If you build it, they will come.

That is what the Newton City Council is hoping after unanimously approving the Enhanced Newton Housing Initiative and the independent contracting/consulting agreement with the Newton Housing Development Corporation Monday. The city will provide the NHDC with a grant to purchase property and contract builders and de-

velopers to build six new homes in the Fairmeadow North Subdivision, near Agnes Patterson Park.

“We do need to prime the pump, we do need to start something and I think this is a viable so-called risk to take,” Council Member Lin Chapé said.

With the passing of the resolution, the city and NHDC have entered into a grant agreement for the NHDC to facilitate the building of six homes using the city’s pledge of up to $2 million.

Strawberry season hits western, eastern Iowa at different times Iowa fresh strawberries only available a few weeks each year

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Strawberries tend to ripen a little sooner in the western half of Iowa than in the eastern part of the state, according to one Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship official.

Tammy Stotts, a marketing specialist with IDALS, said no matter the weather, soil, moisture and other variables in all parts of the state each spring, the western part of the state seems to produce strawberries slightly quicker.

“We’re not sure exactly how that happens,” Stotts said. “We try to learn as much as we can about what farmers have ready for market, and when, to see if the trend ever changes, but it doesn’t.”

The Newton farmers’ market gets underway for the season Tuesday, while the Grinnell market began May 14.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said May 13 that the strawberry growers around the state were nearly ready to welcome customers with an earlier-than-normal harvest and a large, healthy crop of berries.

Strawberry growers from the western part of the state are reporting that strawberries were ready to pick within the week.

Reports from the other parts of the state are showing that harvest season for strawberries should arrive by the end of May. “Strawberries are the first fruit crop of the season,” Northey said. “Visiting a local farmers market, or going to a ‘youpick’ farm is a great way to find fresh berries that can be enjoyed fresh, used in backing or preserved as jellies or jams. Regardless of where you get your berries, act fast — strawberry season in Iowa only lasts a few weeks.”

Once picked, strawberries do not continue to ripen like some fruits and vegetables, so select vibrant red berries. Also, shop early and often because strawberries have a short shelf life and should be eaten within a few days of being picked.

If visiting a strawberry patch, be sure to call or check the website for their harvest information.

You can find strawberry growers by visiting IDALS’ Fruit and Vegetable Farms Directory at www.idalsdata.org/

MAXWELL — Practical Farmers of Iowa will host a field day “Planning for a Permaculture Swale System on Pasture” walk-through of the swale design process as well as plans to diversify with trees and other perennials from 1 to 5 p.m. June 6 at Carney Family Farms, 13602 NE 96th St. near Maxwell.

Bruce Carney of Carney Family Farms was inspired to install a permaculture swale system on his livestock farm near Maxwell after attending a workshop taught by expert grazier Greg Judy and permaculture expert Mark Shepard.

Swales are basically water-harvesting ditches with flat bottoms that are built on the contours of a landscape. Unlike ditches, however, which are sloped to help move water away from an area, swales are built to catch and hold surface water so it can soak into the soil and stop erosion.

The event is free and will feature a potluck following the program. The Carneys will provide the main dish. Guests are asked to bring side dishes or dessert to share. RSVPs are requested for the meal.

To sign-up, contact Lauren Zastrow at 515-2325661 or lauren@practicalfarmers.org by June 3. The event is sponsored by Prudenterra and Story County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Practical Farmers of Iowa’s 2015 field day season features 40 field days around Iowa. All field days are open to the public, and most are free to attend.

ISU Extension to host STEM day in Colfax Iowa State University Jasper County Extension will host a STEM Day for students from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 18 in Colfax.

This opportunity will encourage students to learn more about science, technology, engineering and mathematics. STEM day at the park will include presentation and many hands on activities in the above areas. Camp members will have so much to talk about. Registration is $20.

While there are no Jasper County growers on either list, there are farms not far outside the county. These lists are probably not a complete list of every farm with strawberries in a given area, so check with local farm agencies to see where strawberries are available in your area.

Here are some of IDALS’ list of most impressive attributes of Iowa strawberries.

• Strawberries are low in calories; one cup of unsweetened strawberries has only 55 calories.

• Strawberries are completely fat-free.

• Children, unless allergic, rarely run away from strawberries. In a recent survey, 53 percent of seven to nine-year-olds picked strawberries as their favorite fruit.

• Strawberries have a large amount of vitamin C and good sources of folic acid, potassium and fiber.

Henning

Newton Municipal Band opens summer Concerts in the Park series

Continued from Page 1A two sons, Jordan and Logan, along with a long list of family and friends.

In addition to a www.gofundme.com account, some local charity efforts are taking place for the family.

Okoboji Grill’s Newton location is donating 25 percent of server’s June 10 tips and a matching amount from the owner to Henning’s family.

Marty Brunsmann said he has known Aaron and Genevieve Henning for many years. Aaron loved softball, even though injuries kept him out of action within the past couple of years, and Brunsmann and others plan to honor Henning this weekend at a planned softball tournament in Kellogg.

“Aaron was very active — especially before he had to have heel surgery,” Brunsmann said. “He was just a loving guy.”

The hashtag widely used by those rallying around the family is #henningstrong. A family friend said T-shirts bearing that slogan were ordered late last week.

Brunsmann said the this year’s softball tournament, called the “South Skunk River Bash” in the past, will now bear Henning’s name. Fundraiser raffles for donated softball gear and a home run derby are slated to take place at the tourney on Saturday and Sunday, with Henning’s family as the beneficiary.

Brunsmann thanked Subway, The Manhattan and other Newton-area businesses and individuals for their financial support to help the family.

The family members who survived the fire lost a great deal of personal belongings — especially clothing.

The fire destroyed the W. 68th St. S. home that belonged to Angel and Diana Avila, Genevieve’s parents.

Angel Avila said he said he woke up because he smelled smoke, and his wife, Diana, had to alert Genevieve and Aaron by phone that they needed to get out of the basement.

Avila said he has no idea how the fire started, and a fire official said there is likely too much widespread damage to determine an exact cause.

Donations can be made through GoFundMe.org or by contacting Hansen at 641-417-9381 or Jaci Umbarger at 641-521-8810.

The softball tournament will be one of many emotional events in the weeks ahead for those who knew Henning best. Charity Smothers Brunsmann said Henning made friends nearly everywhere he went.

“Aaron has many connections among all of these teams,” she said. “I don’t think there is a single team that does not have at least one if not every player who would call Aaron a friend. He didn’t know a stranger.

Many tears will be shed over the loss of this amazing man. He will be missed immensely.”

Keeping Me on My Toes

A big show for my tiny dancer

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | June 2, 2015

To complete a year of firsts with my oldest daughter, Friday and Saturday I got to experience a dance recital as a mom, instead of as a dancer. I have to say, it was a lot more stressful on this side of the stage.

Recital week kicked off with rehearsal on Wednesday. I happened to have a meeting about a half hour before her first performance so I relied on my mom to get her there and ready on time.

The night before I braided her hair so it wouldn’t be a bother and could just be put up in a bun for performance time. All of her costumes were hung up and ready in the travel bag and shoes were packed to go.

My sister wasn’t able to come to either recital so she tagged along and watched rehearsal, which made my tiny dancer feel like a rock star. I arrived after the first dance but in time to see her tap and ballet performance.

Picture half a dozen 3 and 4 year olds dressed up like Belle from “Beauty and the Beast” skipping across the stage and twirling

with their hands in the air — it was the cutest.

I was so proud to see her up there, pointing her toes and shuffling her feet and it was only rehearsal. After practicing the final bow we headed home. She was pretty excited about everything, which made me hopeful for the upcoming performance.

Thanks to a bout of pink eye with my youngest daughter, I was home Friday to get her ready for the big performance.

I thought I was doing really good on time, getting her in the bath two hours before we had to leave. I once again put her hair in braids and applied sparkle eye shadows, which she loved. But it never fails that in the final minutes I am scrambling to finish up getting everything to the car and making myself look presentable.

We got to the school in plenty of time and after finding her room and getting her costume on, she was my little ballerina ready to hit the stage. Without a second thought she went to play with her friends and I took my

seat in the audience.

I enjoyed watching the dances, as it is something I normally didn’t get to do as a performer.

Finally, it was time for her to come out and do her tap routine to “Mr. Golden Sun.” The girls did great and put on quite a show. Nobody cried or just stood on stage, which is a big plus for their age group. At the conclusion, they got a big round of applause and waved as they headed off the stage.

Her next dance was ballet and only required a shoe change and adding a tutu to her costume.

She was pretty pumped up, full of adrenaline and a little tough to handle but listened well enough and was ready when it was her turn to go. Because “Beauty and the Beast” is my favorite Disney movie, I was so excited for her to dance and as she tip-toed out of the stage I was as proud of her as I have ever been.

Her final routine was tumbling to an “Aladdin” ensemble.

It is her favorite dance to do and her favorite costume, since she

looks like Princess Jasmine. She did front rolls, cartwheels and the crab walk across the stage, finishing off with all of the girls holding hands and doing a group front roll.

At the end of the show she made her way out on stage to do the final bow, which she thought was the best part of the whole thing. She got flowers from us and her grandparents and felt so special. She was on a princess high for the rest of the night.

The next afternoon was an encore performance that went better than the first and at the conclusion we had her first recital in the books.

I can’t thank her dance teacher Lainy and everyone at Steppin’ Out Dance Studio in Monroe enough for the great experience she had during the year and I’m already looking forward to next year and having two little ballerinas in dance.

By Ken Barthelman Jasper County Historical Museum The 1910-1911 Maytag-Mason Automobile is now on exhibit at the Jasper County Historical Museum. As tribute to Hoosiers David Letterman and, eventually, the Duesenbergs, we’ll do this story as a Top 10 list.

Why you should tour the museum and see the car this summer?

10. The car was donated to the State Historical Society by the Maytag Company in 1972, and this is the first time it’s been back. The loan agreement currently ends Dec. 31.

9. Fred and Gus Duesenberg designed the car in Des Moines in 1905 and with funds from Edward R. Mason created the Mason Motor Company in 1906. Mason was perpetually undercapitalized and reorganized several times.

8. F. L. and E. H. Maytag acquired 3/5’s of the company in May of 1909 and reorganized as the Maytag-Mason Automobile Company. At that time the car name became Maytag-Mason. From 1910 through 1912, the name of the company was changed to Maytag Automobile Company and the two cylinder car names transitioned to Maytag (formerly Mason). Newly developed four cylinder cars

were named Maytag.

7. The cars were collectively known as the Hillclimbers and claimed to be the only car, at any price, to carry eight passengers up a 50 percent incline and they had the pictures to prove it. Another iconic picture on display is the Maytag-Mason being driven up the Statehouse steps.

6. The cars were designed to not only stand up to Iowa’s unpaved roads, but also to be competitive in hill climbs and road races.

5. In 2010, F.L. moved production to a new plant in Waterloo. F. L. sold out in 1912 and Mason eventually folded in 1915.

4. The Duesenbergs later moved to Auburn Indiana where the Duesenberg, Auburn and Cord automobiles were devel-

oped and became world famous.

3. Fred Maytag II purchased the car on display in the early 1950s and used it for a variety of events. It was sold to him as a 1910, but more recent information indicates it may be a 1911 or even 1912. In either case, it is probably a Maytag and not a Maytag-Mason (there are no badges or other identification on the car).

2. If you remember another Maytag-Mason owned by Fred Maytag and driven around town, you are correct, but it’s not this car. In 1935, he purchased a Maytag-Mason 2 in 1 car that was set up like a pickup.

We don’t know what became of that car.

1. The number one reason you should see the car is because it clearly meant so much to Fred II and his generosity, and the foundation he created, means so much to Newton to this day.

The Maytag Bulletin ran a picture collage shortly after his death and the largest, and most featured photo, was Fred and this car.

Upcoming Events June 20 at 9 a.m. – Expanded Steam School – preparing for the Fourth of July parade, blacksmithing, antique cars and tractors, free coffee and coffeecake and Newton Seed Store exhibit premiere. The museum opens at 9 a.m.

I work as a reporter in a city of 90,000 in Massachusetts. Doing a little d i g ging in our archives, I discovered that, in 1974, 20,000 people attend- By Marc Dion ed the c i t y ’s annual Memorial Day parade.

It was raining that day, too. I’ve been covering the parade in my town on and off for 23 years. I have never seen a crowd of 20,000, no matter the weather. A couple quick calls to reporters I know indicate that they, too, have seen attendance decline. The Veteran’s Day parade is suffering a similar decline.

It’s time to cancel.

Cancel the parade. Cancel the long weekend.

Stop putting the flags on the graves. The whole thing is becoming an embarrassment.

Let’s keep posting on Facebook, though.

You know, a picture of the flag and under it the touching words, “If you stomp on this flag, I’ll stomp your #$$, you @*^%%$)$%! That’s the kind of patriotism you can display at home, in your chair, in your boxer shorts. That’s the kind of patriotism you can display even when you’re way too drunk to drive downtown for the parade. If it weren’t for principles, you can express drunk, on Facebook, in your underwear, many of us would have no visible principles.

Every town I know has some kind of Memorial Day event that is sparsely attended and is filmed and broadcast by the local public-access channel, right between “Marie’s Crochet Corner,” and the Mass in Spanish for shut-ins.

And, since the Internet world is so very, very compact, one has to as-

sume that ISIS is watching these sad little tributes and gloating.

“Hey, Ali,” Muhammad says. “How many people in Fall River, Massachusetts?”

“I Googled it,” Ali says. “Maybe 90,000.”

“Yah, well they got maybe 5,000 people at their Memorial Day parade,” Muhammad says, giggling fiendishly. “These people aren’t going to fight us to the death. They’re gonna sleep late, wake up, get drunk and go back to sleep.”

“They post some brave stuff on Facebook, though,” Ali says.

“Who cares?” Muhammad says. “Fourteen-year-old girls have Facebook pages with pictures of their cats. We can put 50,000 people on any street anywhere in the Middle East for a “death to America” rally.”

Time to cancel. For all our sakes.

Yeah. Sure. Every good American likes to blow off about “honoring the troops” and kicking some ISIS butt, but other than the guys who have to go to war, it doesn’t look like anyone cares enough to drive downtown and stand through a couple hours of high school marching bands and flags.

Where I live, a lot of veterans are downtown every day. The dead ones, for whom Memorial Day is designed, are not there but the nearly-dead are, bumming cigarettes, shaking all over with heroin withdrawal, asking for change.

It’s a smaller parade, that daily one, but it goes on every day, without fail, until the last of the people with enough money to beg from leave the downtown and head for the suburbs.

Experts encourage Newton families to bring back the Sunday dinner Jonna Wisnieski is on a mission to see more families share sit-down Sunday dinners with their senior loved ones. The reason? New research shows that 50 percent of surveyed families living near senior relatives feel they do not share enough meals with older loved ones, losing an important family connection.

“For seniors, it’s not what’s on their plate that matters most at mealtime – it’s who is at the table with them,” said Wisnieski, owner of the local Home Instead Senior Care office. “When seniors share meals with a companion, they have a better mealtime experience – both nutritionally and emotionally.”

Almost 75 percent of the people surveyed said they only sit down for a family meal with senior loved ones for special occasions, events or holidays. They say a big part of the problem is time — both not having enough of it and conflicting schedules.

To encourage families to make time for these meals, the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation will donate $1 to Meals on Wheels America (up to $20,000 total through July 31) for each person that commits to regularly scheduling family dinners at SundayDinnerPledge.com. Pledging to have a sit-down dinner with loved ones will help to ensure other seniors will have a quality meal through the Meals on Wheels program.

“We hope families will make the pledge to either revive or begin new mealtime traditions with their senior loved ones,” Wisnieski said.

“This small commitment can have a big impact on a senior’s well-being.”

Parents welcome daughters’ boyfriends into the family DEAR ABBY: We have two lovely daughters in their 20s. The older one lives with her boyfriend. They are expecting a baby soon. Our younger daughter lives with us, and she’s planning on moving in with her boyfriend.

We’re an old married couple, and we’re not sure how to treat our daughters’ boyfriends. However, “Gerald” is the father of our new grandchild, and we think of him as family. “Joel” is a great guy who is in love with our younger daughter and vice versa, so we think of him as family, too.

We stumbled through the holidays not knowing if we should get gifts for them. Joel is having a birthday soon.

Should we get him a gift? We want to bring the boyfriends into our family and treat them like our children, but we don’t know if we’re overstepping our bounds. Can we start treating them like sons and wait for them to correct us? — STUMBLING IN NEW ENGLAND DEAR STUMBLING: Stop stumbling. I can’t think of a better way to draw your daughters’ significant others into your family than to open your hearts, let them know they are welcome and treat them that way.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 17 and will start my senior year of high school next fall.

Recently, I started talking to this boy in my cooking class named “Ethan.” He’s a year older, but I decided to make the first move. We went on a few dates and he was quiet, reserved and respectful.

Overall, he’s a nice guy.

At first the fact that he’s only an inch taller than I am bothered me. But then he told me about a foot deformity he has. He said two of his toes on each foot are attached and he calls them “webbed.” When he sent me a photo one day to prove it, I realized his toes were almost entirely attached and I freaked out. I don’t know how to feel.

Am I being shallow? — NERVOUS IN NEW JERSEY DEAR NERVOUS: No, I think you’re being foolish. Ethan’s toes are

HIS issue, and you appear to be making it yours. You say he’s a nice guy. Try to remember you are not dating his feet, you are dating the person to which they are appended, and a person’s toes are not the measure of his character.

P.S. This is an excellent example of why it’s unwise to send photos of one’s anatomy.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is being married for the second time. Some of the guests were invited to her first wedding and will be invited to her second one as well.

As her mother, I don’t feel right about expecting certain guests who have already given her one wedding gift to give her another at the second wedding. How would you suggest we convey to this “select group” that a gift is not expected from them? Would it be proper to state something such as “Your presence is our present”? — MOTHER OF THE BRIDE, AGAIN DEAR MOTHER OF THE BRIDE: NO mention of gifts should be made in your daughter’s wedding invitation. I agree that guests who gave your daughter gifts for her first wedding should not feel compelled to buy her anything more than a token gift for this one. This goes for ANY guest who attended the first wedding, not just “select” guests, whatever that means. Any discussion regarding gifts should be done verbally by you if you are hosting the wedding.

The pickup pushed the trampoline into a drainage ditch before finally stopping.

Officer Brent Parker laid atop the deer to hold it down while Hendrickson attacked the net with the scissors.

Iowa lawmakers agree to compromise budget topping $7B The Associated Press DES MOINES — The state will spend about $7.3 billion for the upcoming fiscal year under a compromise deal Iowa lawmakers announced Monday.

The tentative deal includes $7.168 billion in onPaulson going spending, plus an additional $125 million in one-time expenses. As it is structured, the Republican-led House maintains a pledge to keep ongoing spending in line with projected revenues, while the Democratic-controlled Senate gets some more money for key pri-

orities such as education.

The budget for the current fiscal year spends just under $7 billion. Republicans said the proposed one-time expenses will come out of the more than $400 million in surplus dollars remaining at the end of the current budget year.

“I think it’s a fair deal,” said House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha. He was optimistic that the budget — which must still win approval in the General Assembly — could be resolved by the end of the week, so that lawmakers could adjourn for the year.

The plan includes new funding for state universities that lawmakers said should ensure a tuition freeze. Lawmakers also found compromise on K-12 education, with an increase in ongoing spend-

ing, as well as a one-time payment of $55.7 million.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said he didn’t think it was enough money but that Democrats fought hard for the best deal they could get.

“Left to our own devices we would pass a very different budget,” said Gronstal, adding: “The voters gave us a set of people in this building and it’s our duty to work together to come to common ground.”

Tammy Wawro, president of the Iowa State Education Association, which represents about 34,000 teachers, support staff and others, criticized the compromise deal in a statement, saying it is “most certainly days late, and millions of dollars short.”

On university funding, Bob Donley, executive di-

rector for the Board of Regents declined to comment on whether this will provide for a tuition freeze, saying he could not speak on the budget impact until more details are released.

Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds said Monday morning that the administration was waiting to review the details of the deal. She expressed concern that the agreement did not contain funding for the 20162017 school year, noting that Gov. Terry Branstad has said he would like to resolve that.

“He’s made it pretty clear that we need to provide certainty,” said Reynolds, who did not say what action the governor’s office would take if the school funding issue was not addressed.

The leaders in the politically divided Legislature reached

the terms after roughly five hours of negotiations Friday.

Their daily expense payments ran out May 1, but they cannot adjourn until reaching a budget agreement for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

With the Senate Democrats originally proposing an overall general fund budget of about $7.34 billion and House Republicans seeking to spend $7.168 billion, the difference was not large. But compromise proved to be a challenge, as the two sides grappled over how much to spend on education and health care, and whether to use some of the state’s surplus funds.

As of the end of this fiscal year, the state will have more than $400 million remaining in the general fund — in addition to about $700 million in designated rainy day funds.

EFSP funds allocated to Jasper County, applications due by Friday Jasper County has been awarded federal funds through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Jasper County area has been chosen to receive $8,049 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in Phase 32 of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP).

The selection was made by a national board that is chaired by the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; The Salvation Army; United Jewish Communities; and United Way Worldwide.

The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated

by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.

A local board made up of representatives from several agencies will determine how the funds awarded to Jasper County are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies.

The board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive

these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program.

Under the terms of the grant from the national board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private, public, voluntary, nonprofits or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive Federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 6) if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.

Jasper County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter Funds previously with Jasper County Center, Red Rock Area Community Action Program (RRACAP), and The Salvation Army participating. These agencies were responsible for providing food and shelter assistance.

Private or public, voluntary nonprofit agencies and units of government interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact local EFSP Chair, Jessica Lowe, Executive Director of the United Way of Jasper County at 641-792-1684 or unitedwayjc@ gmail.com for an application.

The submission deadline for applications is noon on Friday.

Fast food chain changes breakfast times, citing egg shortages The Associated Press CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Whataburger says it is limiting its breakfast-serving hours, citing egg shortages due to the Midwest bird flu crisis.

The fast-food chain will serve breakfast 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. weekdays, and 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. on weekends. It previously was available 12 hours a day. Whataburger

says in a statement that the changes will allow it to supply all of its locations.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says confirmed outbreaks in the Midwest have cost chicken and turkey producers more than 44 million birds. Egg prices have soared.

Major chains such as Taco Bell, Dunkin’ Donuts and IHOP say they’re monitoring the situation

but haven’t yet been affected.

Bob Krouse, CEO of Midwest Poultry Services, said if a company relies on a supplier that’s affected by avian flu, it might have trouble finding another one.

“There aren’t any to be had,” Krouse said. “If you lost your supplier, nobody’s taking on a new customer.”

By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News One step into the third grade classroom of Lenette Swanson displays a safe and inviting atmosphere for learning, as fellow teachSwanson er June Clute said.

“During the school day, Lenette’s personality was always consistent,” said Clute, who works in the Library Media Center at Berg Elementary. “She was patient, calm, optimistic, trustworthy and sensitive. Students knew what to expect when they walked through the door. From my point of view, the relationship Lenette had with her students was based on trust and mutual respect.”

Swanson retired last week after teaching in the Newton Community School District for 27 years. She describes her own classroom as one that is “calm, productive, controlled and relaxed.”

Swanson grew up on a farm in Buchanan County with three brothers. Her mother was a teacher in a one-

room schoolhouse for 10 years in the 1940s.

“I think I always wanted to be a teacher,” Swanson said. “I love kids ... But I guess my mom was always my inspiration, and I grew up thinking I would be a teacher.”

Swanson graduated in 1975 from North Linn High School, a small consolidated school that combined three towns. Swanson then went to Mt. Mercy College in Cedar Rapids and received a degree in elementary education.

While attending Mt. Mercy she met her hus-

band, Doug Swanson of Newton.

Swanson taught nine years at Holy Trinity School in Des Moines and has spent the majority of her teaching years at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School where her husband and three kids attended school.

She said, “TJ just really feels like home.”

While reminiscing about her long career as a teacher, Swanson said “it just goes by so fast.”

“I’ve impacted a lot of people, and I guess it’s been 36 years of teaching, and that is close to 1,000 students I’ve had,”

Special Olympian

said Swanson. “I feel like I’ve made an impact in those 180 days with my students each year, and I tried to provide a productive and positive experience. It’s always interesting to see their growth from the beginning to the end of the year as they change.”

Swanson also said her favorite part about teaching was not only the students and the fact that her days with the children were never monotonous, but also working with the adults and her colleagues — educators that were “driven” in their careers.

“Newton definitely has an impressive school district, and I certainly enjoyed my time here,” Swanson said. “The educators in our community are treated really well.”

Swanson said for 16 years, her third grade students would make a trip every Friday to a nursing home in Newton to do puzzles or crafts with the residents.

“The kids learned so much talking to the elderly residents and they looked forward to it every week,” she said.

“They learned how to interact with people.”

Clute worked as a student teacher under Swanson several years ago and has been a good friend and colleague for more than 20 years.

Clute said student teaching with Swanson was a positive experience.

“She was an incredible mentor with sound advice about best practice,” Clute said. “Today, I still reflect on our discussions about teaching and learning ... to define Lenette as a teacher, you need to look beyond her credentials and knowledge. She has the heart of a great teacher ... her actions in the classroom teach students compassion, empathy and kindness. Lenette inspires students to want to be better students and col-

leagues, better teachers.”

Swanson said teachers do not always look for so much recognition.

Lisa Sharp, principal at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, said Swanson has been receiving cards and letters of thanks, as well as a gift from the staff to commemorate her service and retirement.

“Mrs. Swanson has taught many years for the Newton Community School District and has touched the lives of many children in a positive way,” Sharp said.

“The relationships she built with not only her students but others in the school had a positive effect on everyone. She was kind and respectful to all and in return, students were caring and respectful school citizens. Mrs. Swanson was a great team player and was always happy to help out when it was needed. The staff at Thomas Jefferson and I will miss her greatly.”

Swanson plans to take her retirement one day at a time. She said she has no firm plans but hopes to spend more time with her grandkids and finally spoil herself with a lunch break that is longer than 30 minutes.

J-Hawks slide past Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Growing pains are just that — painful.

Newton High’s Cardinal softball team is going through those growing pains as the season begins.

Starting three juniors, one sophomore, four freshman and one eighth grader, the Cardinals are going to go through some growing as a team. The Cardinals do not have a senior on the 2015 team.

In their home opener Monday, the Cardinals dropped an 8-6 decision to the Urbandale J-Hawks. The J-Hawks broke a 6-6 tie with a run in the fifth and added an insurance run in the sixth.

“We made some great plays defensively and had some nice solid hits, but again we need

to have consistency in manufacturing runs inning after inning,” said Kristina McNew, Newton head coach.

McNew said the disappointment is not winning the game, but not in her players. She said they are learning on the job.

A couple of walks came back to haunt the Cardinals in the first inning as the J-Hawks manufactured a run without a hit.

The Cardinals did the same in the bottom of the first when Peyton Maher, the designated hitter, drew a walk and Mackenzie Johnson was the courtesy runner.

Bailey Davis reached on a base-on-balls, then Anna Lucas laced a double to the outfield.

Johnson scored but Davis was tagged out at the plate.

Cardinal golf team sits sixth following first day of 4A state

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Newton High’s Cardinal girls are in sixth as a team after the first round of the 2015 Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union 4A State Golf Tournament.

The Cardinals posted a 391 for the first 18-holes on the American Legion Memorial Golf Course in Marshalltown Monday.

The second, and final round, of the 36-hold state tournament tees off at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Washington has a seven stroke lead over Dubuque Wahlert —

351-358. Humboldt is third at 362, Fairfield is at 383 and Western Dubuque has a 385.

Junior Jessica Reynolds is tied for sixth with two others at 87.

Reynolds shot rounds of 42 and 45 with six pars in Monday’s play.

Reynolds She is tied with Sarah Frischmeyer of Grinnell and Charlotte Flynn of Wahlert.

Sarah Nacos, a freshman from Washington, and Lindsey Repp, a junior from Fairfield, are tied atop the

leader board at 78. Alyssa Sikkema of Assumption is in third with an 85.

Deanna Peiffer of Washington and Savannah Schnetzer of Humboldt each had an 86.

Newton senior Shelbey Cochran is tied for 35 at 100 on rounds of 48 and 52. Cochran recorded one birdie, which came on hole No. 3, a par 5, in the front nine.

Junior Cydney Hillyard and senior Abby Jolivette are tied for 43rd as both shot 102s for the first 18 holes of the state meet. Both had rounds of 53 and 49. Hillyard had three pars on the first day while Jolivette carded a birdie

on No. 16.

Junior Emily Fitzgerald had even rounds of 53 and 53 for a 106 and is tied for 46th. Junior Jessie Smith shot a 108 on rounds of 57 and 51.

Newton finished third as a team at the 2014 state. The Cardinals have two golfers — Reynolds and Cochran — playing in their third straight state tournament and Hillyard is competing in her second consecutive state meet.

Bulls plan to name Hoiberg as coach CHICAGO (AP) — The Mayor is moving to Chicago.

The Bulls plan to introduce Fred Hoiberg as their new coach on Tuesday, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

Hoiberg had long been rumored as the replacement for Tom Thibodeau, who was fired last week after five seasons in Chicago. The person spoke to Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Trey Lindsay, right, slides into third in front of the tag of Colfax-Mingo freshman Jarod Nichols during the Mustangs’ 11-0 win on Monday. Lindsay walked twice, stole two bases and scored once in the victory.

PCM’s Brown, Henkenius throw combined no-hitter

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Prairie City-Monroe baseball coach Shaun Hudnut wants his players to be aggressive at the plate.

He even likes it when they attempt to make contact with the first pitch.

But Hudnut also knows the value in walking. And that patience early in Monday’s Heart of Iowa Conference game against Colfax-Mingo helped the Mustangs get out to an early lead and claim an eventual win.

PCM’s first four hitters all walked to begin the game and three of them crossed homeplate as the Mustangs jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in a 11-0, five-inning win.

Austin Brown and Noah Henkenius combined to throw a no-hitter for the Mustangs, who

ended a two-game losing streak with the win.

“We preach to our kids about being disciplined hitters. We want them to pitch to us,” Hudnut said. “We are aggressive with the first pitch, but if it’s not in the zone then we take what we have and try to let the game come to us.”

Clay Cooper and Sheldon Speers each had one hit, one run, two RBIs, one walk and one stolen base offensively. Connor

Warrick and Brown each had a team-high two hits.

Aside from drawing a lot of walks, the Mustangs also took advantage on the bases, stealing 10 bases on the night. Henkenius had four steals and three runs all by himself and Lindsay stole second and third before scoring in the first inning.

“We have to come to the ballpark ready to go. It can’t be a wait and see thing,” Colfax-Mingo coach Seth Milledge said. “We weren’t here. You have to be ready to play. We were going through the motions.

You can’t do that in this conference. You’ll get the 12-0 loss to Greene County and 11-0 loss to PCM. Brown earned the win on the mound after he walked three and struck out four in four MUSTANGS | 2B

This and That

Iowa State is losing class act in ‘Mayor’ Fred Hoiberg A little more than a year ago, infamous sports columnist Bill Simmons tweeted a prediction.

He said the Chicago Bulls would fire Tom Thibodeau at the end of this season and they w o u l d By Troy Hyde hire Fred Newton Daily News Hoiberg.

F a s t Sports Writer forward 13 months and the prediction or hunch turned out to be true.

Hoiberg got on a private jet Monday evening and flew to Chicago to finalize a deal to become

the Chicago Bulls next head coach.

The two sides agreed to a five-year deal worth $25 million.

That’s double what he was making per year at Iowa State.

It’s hard to blame the guy for jumping to the NBA. After all, it is something he was open and honest with Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard from the moment he took over in Ames.

Iowa State fans were hoping he would stay a little longer, but the time appears to be right for Hoiberg, who played half of his playing career in a Bulls uniform.

PCM bats stay red-hot in win over Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Since being shut down in a 2-0 loss to Class 3A No. 5 Greene County last Thursday, the Prairie City-Monroe offense has been on fire.

The Class 3A No. 11 Mustangs bounced back from their only loss of the season with 13 runs against Roland-Story on Friday and then pounced on Colfax-Mingo for 14 more on Monday during a Heart of Iowa Conference softball battle.

Molly Vignovich had three hits and two RBIs, Chelbie Gillespie added two hits and two RBIs and PCM won its second straight after a 14-8 win.

The Mustangs pounded out nine hits in three innings against reigning first-team all-HOIC pitcher Amy Russell and collected 12 hits in the game in all.

“We go up there with the mindset that we are going to hit our pitch,” PCM coach Whitney Plein said. “We use the fundamental things that we have been practicing in the offseason. We are also making good adjustments when we need to and putting the ball in play to put pressure on the defense.

“We had great approaches at the plate. We waited for our pitch and we took it and took it where it needed to go.”

Colfax-Mingo scored first in the game, plating two in the bottom of the first to take an early lead.

But Russell continued to have early-season struggles.

PCM tied in the second with two runs and then plated seven in the third and three more in the third to take a commanding lead.

“I can’t tell you what Amy is struggling with or where she

is struggling at yet, but she’s just not herself,” Colfax-Mingo coach Bryan Poulter said.

“She hasn’t been as effective as she has been the previous two years. She isn’t striking out very many and is serving up some hard hit balls. It’s early and we have time to figure it out. I don’t think it is anything mechanically at this point.”

While the Tigerhawks had trouble slowing down the Mustang bats, Colfax-Mingo had little issue at the plate against senior Rachel Freland.

After plating two in the

first, C-M scored single runs in the third, fifth and seventh and also had three in the fourth.

Unfortunately for the Tigerhawks, the deficit was too much to overcome.

“You should be able to win games with eight runs. That should be enough,” Poulter said.

PCM sophomore Katie VandeWall had another productive night at the plate, driving in two with her only hit of the game. Courtney Bridges also had two RBIs as she had a

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B innings. Henkenius fanned two in his one inning of relief.

Part of the reason Colfax-Mingo struggled at the plate was because Tigerhawk hitters let strike one go right down the middle.

“We didn’t get ahead in the counts, and we didn’t have very good at-bats early on,” Milledge said. “We let too many fastballs go by us. We are not the kind of team that can battle back from a big deficit. We don’t put up seven runs in an inning. We have to manufacture our runs.”

Colfax-Mingo was forced to put up big numbers after PCM went 4-0 in the first and 7-0 after two. The Tigerhawks’ only base runners came by walks from Jacob Buehrer, Adam Teed, Chris Warner and Reegan Van Dyke.

The four walks by Brown was a bit uncharacteristic for the Mustang senior. But he needed only 38 pitches to get through four innings.

Buehrer started on the mound for Colfax-Mingo but he struggled to throw strikes and couldn’t make it out of the first inning. Teed went the rest of the way in relief.

Hammel strikes out 11, Cubs take down Marlins MIAMI (AP) — Jason Hammel had a career-high 11 strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings Monday night to help the Chicago Cubs beat the Miami Marlins 5-1.

With his start pushed back because of a cracked fingernail and a rainout, Hammel pitched for the first time in eight days, and he seemed to benefit from the extra rest.

He allowed one run, five hits and no walks.

Hammel threw 117 pitches, his highest total since 2009. All of his strikeouts were swinging.

hit and a walk.

Freland needed 135 pitches to claim the win in the circle.

She fanned eight and surrendered 10 hits and eight runs — three earned — over seven innings of work.

The top of the order proved to once again be formidable for Colfax-Mingo.

Lead-off hitter Alivia Haley had two hits and scored twice, while Russell had two hits, scored two runs, drove in two runs and walk.

Eighth-grader Colbee Cunningham continues to make her case in the circle for the Tigerhawks (1-4 overall, 0-3 in Heart of Iowa Conference play).

Cunningham threw the final four innings in relief of Russell. Her final statistic line included three hits and four walks over the final four innings. She fanned three and both of the runs she allowed were unearned. “(Cunningham) pitched well and had three hits. She hit the ball real well today,” Poutler said.

Colfax-Mingo jumped out to an early lead after scoring on a passed ball and a PCM error.

But the Mustangs battled back with a pair of runs in the second. Kayla Jennings and Abby Waddell both walked between a bunt single by Jayci Vos. With the bases loaded, Gillespie singled to put PCM on the board and then they tied it after Russell hit Bridges with the bases full.

Comets claim sweep of CMB, L-S beats Keota Newton Daily News ALLEMAN — A first-inning home run was all the North Polk softball team needed against Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Monday night.

Rebecca Rimathe went 2-for-3 with a homer and two RBIs and Olivia Patterson threw a seven-hitter in the circle as the Comets edged the Raiders, 2-1.

Abbey Applegate and Avery Hlavacek each had two hits for CMB, which falls to 1-4 on the season.

Hlavacek’s RBI double in the fourth was the only run the Raiders could muster against Patterson, who fanned three and walked one in the complete-game win.

“We just couldn’t get the bats going and (North Polk) made some nice plays against us,” CMB coach Troy Houge said.

The Raiders (1-4, 1-2) return to the diamond at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when they travel to Prairie City-Monroe to face the Mustangs.

Creighton Caple had two of three hits, while Hunter McWhirter also had a single.

Nate Bishop took the loss on the mound. He allowed four runs on eight hits and struck out one while walking five.

North Polk led 1-0 after one inning and then plated two more in the second. The game was called after five innings because the lights went out and wouldn’t come back on.

Brett Haun had two hits, a run scored and an RBI for the winners, while Brean Heasey also had two hits and scored twice.

The Raiders drop to 1-2 on the

Newton didn’t fold.

Class Act Continued from Page 1B Hoiberg already had an incredible legacy as a player.

The Ames High School graduate was given the nickname “Mayor” a long time ago because he helped his hometown college win a lot of basketball games.

Is the legacy he is leaving behind as a coach bigger?

Maybe not. But it’s an impressive legacy nonetheless.

His departure marks the end of one of the most successful eras of Cyclone basketball that included 115 wins, a Big 12 coach of the year award, four All-Americans, two Big 12 tournament championships, a school-record four NCAA tournament appearances and a Sweet 16 berth.

Hoiberg’s run at Iowa State was nothing short of amazing. And he didn’t do it in the most conventional way.

I remember when critics thought the Hoiberg hire

by Pollard was questionable.

Sure, he was a great player for the Cyclones and had solid seasons in the NBA for the Pacers, Bulls and Timberwolves.

He even did well in the front office in Minnesota but no one knew if he would be able to manage college egos and get players who barely knew each other to mesh together as one.

He did that. There’s no doubt.

And he’s leaving behind perhaps his best team of all.

The Cyclones should start the year somewhere in the top 10.

Last year’s first-round exit

Hoiberg Continued from Page 1B back-to-back Big 12 tournament titles. He had open-heart surgery in April.

Before flying to Chicago to speak with the Bulls, Hoiberg acknowledged that several NBA teams had approached him about their vacancies in recent years.

“When this opportunity came about, this was something that interested me greatly,” Hoiberg said. “One of my life goals is to coach in that league.”

Hoiberg said the speculation over his future had been “extremely tough.” Hoiberg grew up in Ames and earned the nickname “The Mayor” while starring for the Cyclones in the 1990s.

Hoiberg joins a team that

Urbandale used three pitchers in the game. Bella Crow came on in relief of starter Jessica Walljasper and Anna Simon. Crow retired the Cardinals in order the final three innings of the game.

“I think we are going to surprise a lot of teams,

which handled Newton pretty easily in the past, this year. Our girls don’t give up until the end of the game. They battle in the last innings of the game,” McNew said.

“I’m very proud of these girls for their determination. The wins are going to come.”

Anna Lucas led the

still hurts for Iowa State fans.

Hoiberg’s departure is just another punch to the gut.

But at least Ames’ favorite son left the cupboard extremely full.

Hayden Fry’s legacy was great in Iowa City, but he stayed around too long and left nothing for Kirk Ferentz to work with in 1999.

Iowa State fans won’t have to worry about that.

Hoiberg is as classy as they come, too.

Some will say he didn’t handle his exit from Ames too well. I would disagree.

What was he supposed to do? What was he supposed to say? He was coming off another heart surgery, too.

It’s like he said in a brief interview session with local media at the Ames airport on Monday.

There was nothing to say because there was nothing firm with the Bulls until the job became open last week.

He couldn’t say firmly whether he was leaving. But he knew he had interest.

So instead of lying and saying he didn’t have interest in any NBA jobs, he decided to lay low until the hiring became nearly official.

Iowa State fans will miss Hoiberg. And most Iowa fans are probably smiling. That goes with the rivalry.

Iowa fans obviously want to beat Iowa State.

And that wasn’t happening with Hoiberg on the bench.

Whether or not it happens with the next coach is still uncertain.

That leads me to my next point. Who should be the next coach?

Phoenix Suns coach and for-

mer Cyclone great Jeff Hornacek? Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson? Former Iowa State head coach Tim Floyd?

Those have been names floated around by local and national media who cover the Cyclones and college basketball.

I still think current Iowa State assistant coach T.J. Otzelberger has the inside track.

I just don’t think he leaves his job in Washington to come back to Iowa State unless there was some kind of thought that he wouldbe considered for the job.

Other possible replacements include former ISU assistant coach and current Southern Mississippi coach Doc Sadler, Toronto Raptors assistant coach Nick Nurse and ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla.

I won’t pretend to be an expert on the subject matter.

But what I do know is whoever takes over the program is inheriting one of the best rosters in the country.

There will be pressure to win right away and to uphold what Hoiberg built in four seasons.

There was a few football notes announced Monday, too.

The Iowa State football team will unveil its Jack Trice Stadium renovations against Northern Iowa on Sept. 5.

It was announced by the Cyclones that the game will kick off at 7 p.m. and can be seen on CyclonesTV. The annual Iowa Corn CyHawk Series game between Iowa and Iowa State will be a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on Sept.

entered last season with championship aspirations with Derrick Rose back from his latest knee injury and Pau Gasol in the lineup after signing last summer, only to come up short. The Bulls struggled through injuries to win 50 games and got knocked out by the banged-up Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Their season ended with a listless loss in Game 6. By then, long simmering tensions between Thibodeau and the front office had boiled over, and the Bulls let him go May 28 even though he took them to heights they had not reached since the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen championship era.

Hoiberg played four seasons with the Bulls and has a long history with general manager Gar Forman, who was clear-

ly enamored with the successes enjoyed by Iowa State.

Hoiberg also spent four years in the Timberwolves’ front office.

Hoiberg had never coached at any level before the Cyclones took a chance on him in 2010. It proved to be one of the smartest risks in school history.

Hoiberg’s fast-paced style was a hit with fans and players, and he leaned heavily on transfers like Royce White and Will Clyburn to quickly bring the Cyclones into national prominence. Iowa State was a trendy Final Four pick in March before a stunning opening-round loss to 14th-seeded UAB. Hoiberg was poised to coach his most talented team yet next season, with six of his top eight players back and a top-10 ranking all but a certainty. The lure of a reunion with the Bulls proved to be irresistible.

Newton offense with a single and a double.

Adams had the home run while Maher doubled. Jenkins and Karley Leiker each had a single.

It was Cardinals vs.

Cancer Night. Before the game, the Cardinals and their fans recognized and honors those battling cancer, beat it

and those who lost the battle with cancer.

Newton (0-2) is at Knoxville Tuesday then opens Little Hawkeye Conference play Wednesday at Pella Christian.

UAB reversing fields, reinstating football BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — UAB President Ray Watts said he is bringing the football program back as early as 2016, reversing a decision to shut it down because it was too expensive.

Watts cited renewed financial commitment from supporters, students and the city as reasons for the

change of heart.

He said donors have pledged to make up the projected $17.2 million deficit over the next five years if football is restored,. Watts told The Associated Press he decided in the morning to reverse the earlier decision after meetings with UAB supporters continued through the weekend.

The full moon in June has been called the Strawberry Moon for the obvious reason that it signaled in many regions the time for a luscious berry harvest. In regions where strawberries do not grow, the full moon in June is called the Hot Moon, which suits its Sagittarius fire-sign nature perfectly. Go out and get what you came for.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 2). This year comes at you like a huge wave, spectacular and unavoidable. You’re the rising tide, more fulfilled with each new development. Love is your adventure in August, your solace in October. What you do for your co-workers

will lead to positive changes at work. You’ll be voted into a position in November. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 16, 22, 39 and 50.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Telling the truth keeps things simple. But which truth should you tell? There are many angles you could take on the matter at hand. Consider saying nothing at all, at least until your feelings have settled.

If you took your hands off the controls for a minute, what would happen?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Enjoy this balanced moment of life. There’s less friction around you now that you’ve resolved your feelings about a certain someone. Still, there’s not enough peace in the atmosphere for things to be boring!

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

If you could move, where would you go? You probably won’t go there anytime soon, but there are elements of this place you could bring into your life now, and the emotional benefits would be fortifying.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Rela-

tionships need the right spatial balance. Too much closeness fast-tracks you to boring-land.

Too much distance, and the relationship lacks momentum.

Merely being aware of this will help you find the optimum spacing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re ready for the kind of challenge that will make you think deeply. This could come in the form of a difficult job, an impossible person or a heady piece of writing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

There are many ways to cultivate good fortune, the most effective of which is to embody it. When you think of yourself as a genie in service to others, you’ll bring upon yourself a

most auspicious energy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You see the potential in others.

Be careful. Potential is not reality. Don’t let the blind spot caused by hope and kindness keep you from moving toward more opportune situations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). No one is saintly all the time, not even the actual saints.

To be human is to make mistakes often, sometimes massively. Cultivating a kinder, gentler inner voice is the order of the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you find yourself alone, you won’t be for long. Your creative mind is like a beacon to other creative minds, and

E.O.E

they’ll find you in even the most uninspiring of environments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You don’t have to fret over appearances. You’ve already put so much energy into learning how to best present yourself and your work that it is now second nature for you to make a stellar impression.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The destination is unclear. The end-goal is changing. These are good reasons to slow down.

If you don’t know where you’re going, there’s no sense in setting a speed record to get there.
