LaVera sentencing hearings set for Friday, Monday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A California man is scheduled to be sentenced on federal charges Friday and state charges on Monday.

David A. LaVera, 34, pleaded guilty LaVera to the federal charge of possessing child pornography and the state charge

The federal sentencing, which will take place at the U.S. District Courthouse in Des Moines, could lead to LaVera serving more than five years in prison for crimes committed last summer. The court documents released in August said LaVera used his smartphone to video a 12-year-old victim taking a shower and a 13-year-old victim using the bathroom at a Newton home.

Legislature agrees to Found property framework for K-12 budget auction Saturday Schools get 1.25 percent increase plus $55.7M

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News In a sign that the 2015 Iowa legislative session might finally be winding down, House and Senate leaders announced this week that an agreement has been reached on K-12 education funding.

Legislative leaders announced a plan that includes the Republican-controlled House leadership’s stated funding goal of a 1.25 percent increase in funding for the 2015-16 school year, along with a $55.7 million “one-time” appropriation. That will allow school districts across the state to begin implementing 2015-16 budget plans with a known fund-

ing level.

However, it’s doubtful the legislature will reach a conclusion on 2016-17 education budget this year, or how long it will take for parties to agree during next year’s session.

After weeks of closed-door talks, the one-year agreement resolves a $166-million impasse between House Republicans and the majority Democrats in the Iowa Senate. The budget deal also funds a $50-million commitment to education reform and $133-million to fund a property tax reduction, primarily for commercial enterprises.

“This is a warm bucket of spit,” Sen. Matt McCoy (D-Des Moines) told the Associated Press regarding the budget compromise. “You just take what you have to take and swallow, and that’s where we’re at.”

Among Jasper County legislators, first-year Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) seemed none too

Family sees business opportunity in cookies

By Alex Olp Prairie City News Monroe City Administrator Matt Mardesen and his family are on a new adventure this summer – making and selling cookies out of their new business Big Oven Bakeshop.

“Quite honestly it’s pretty funny to explain everything. There are some double takes, and surprises. People are asking ‘what are you doing?’” Mardesen said.

“You explain to them that this is our new adventure.”

The city administrator and his wife – Joni Mardensen – gained possession of a cookie trailer in January and are using it as a teaching mechanism, as well as a small business on the side.

“It is truly a part-time, fun thing for us and our kids,” he said. “The way I look at it seriously is that it gives us a chance to teach our kids what the fundamentals of a small business are and owning and operating that.”

The family operation has potential to go in a lot of directions and has been the type of work the married couple has wanted to get into, they said.

Before the opportunity came along to purchase Big Oven Bakeshop, they said they talked about owning a concession type business over the past six years, but were mainly focusing on pizzas rather than cookies.

“We never really ruled it out, but we never took the next step either. And then this opportunity opened up,” Mardensen said. “This could really be a mom and pop type operation.”

pleased with the K-12 education funding. Democrats had been pushing for a 4 percent increase.

“I voted earlier this session to increase state aid by 4 percent for the 2015-16 school year to ensure that every Iowa child gets the best education possible and that they are prepared to compete for the jobs of the future,” Allen said.

“Unfortunately, our governor and the House did not share our commitment to Iowa school children.

In the end, the House refused to negotiate above the 1.25 percent.

So, the Senate chose compromise over gridlock.”

Allen said the funding makes a statement about K-12 education as a priority.

“The goal of these increases was to reverse Iowa’s slide downward when you compare us to other states in terms of per student investment,” Allen said.

“We are now 35th and falling.”

Pack protein into your breakfast

By Emily Ring RD, LD Newton Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian It can be difficult to make time for a healthy breakfast in the morning. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests eating a protein-rich breakfast, such as eggs and beef, helps with satiety and could reduce hunger and food cravings later in the day.

Now that eggs have been approved and even recommended for regular consumption by healthy adults, you can feel good about this high-quality protein choice. The American Heart Association Guidelines allow for an egg a day for healthy adults.

Eggs contain only 75 calories and 7 grams of high biological protein. They also contain important nutrients like iron, vitamins and carotenoids to keep you healthy and help fight disease.

Eggs do contain cholesterol, but this does not seem to influence blood cholesterol like saturated fat and trans fat, which trigger cholesterol production in the body. However, there are stricter limits for those with medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.

High quality protein for breakfast is the key and has been shown to increase the feeling of fullness and may help curb cravings between meals. Along with eggs, lean beef is a complete high-quality protein that con-

tains all the essential amino acids your body needs for good health.

Try the Beef and Egg Breakfast Mug recipe (below) that uses two high-quality protein sources, lean beef and eggs, to get yourself off to a good start for the day.

Make the sausage blend ahead of time or use prepared sausage.

Kids can complete steps two and three themselves.

Study: Patients could be spared brain radiation CHICAGO (AP) — A major study could change care for many of the hundreds of thousands of people each year who have cancer that spreads to the brain from other sites. Contrary to conventional wisdom, radiation therapy to the whole brain did not improve survival, and it harmed memory, speech and thinking skills, doctors found.

“This is the classic question: Which is worse, the disease or the treatment?” said one study leader, Dr. Jan Buckner of the Mayo Clinic. Radiation helped control the cancer, “but

at the cost of cognitive decline.”

For patients, the study is not necessarily the bad news it may seem. It shows that in this case, quality of life is better with less treatment, and many people can be spared the expense and side effects of futile care.

It was one of three studies discussed Sunday at an American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago that question longstanding ways that patients are treated. A study found that removing lymph nodes when oral cancers are first di-

agnosed — not routinely done now — dramatically improves survival.

Another found the opposite was true for people with the skin cancer melanoma that had spread to a few lymph nodes.

The first study affects the most patients by far.

An estimated 400,000 patients in the United States alone each year have cancer that spreads to the brain, usually from the lungs, breast or other sites.

That is different from tumors that start in the brain, like the one that just killed Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III, the

vice president’s son.

Cancer that spreads to the brain is usually treated with radiosurgery — highly focused radiation with a tool such as the Gamma Knife, followed by less intense radiation to the whole brain. The latter treatment can cause hair loss, dry mouth, fatigue and thinking problems.

Dr. Paul Brown of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer in Houston led a study of 213 patients with one to three tumors in the brain to see whether the risks of whole brain radiation were worth its help in controlling cancer.

has in hand.

“I feel good about the agreement,” said Paulsen. “I think it makes sensible use of the money that taxpayers sent us.”

For the Newton Community School District, the funding formula should eliminate the need to make major additional cuts, beyond the reductions that have been announced. However, it’s not clear what cuts will need to be made for 2016-17, the first year of NCSD’s major elementary-school reconfiguration, or what 2016-17 will look like financially for Iowa’s smaller school districts.

Kelley said there are many other places House leadership could have found budget savings for education. For example, he said, the governor’s office itself has a total budget of about $250,000.

“That budget includes a chef at Terrace Hill and a personal assistant to the First Lady,” Kelley said. “The governor needs to lead by example.”

Gov. Terry Branstad has said repeatedly he wanted the legislature

Continued from Page 1A Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) said the funding doesn’t reflect how important education is to Jasper County residents.

“While I’m pleased leaders in both parties have finally chosen compromise over gridlock and reached general budget agreements, I won’t support anything less than a balanced state budget which meets the needs of Iowans, particularly kids and seniors, while making necessary reductions in spending,” Kelley said. “This is in the best interest of Jasper County. As a ranking member of the Administration and Regulation budget, I want our state budget to reflect Iowan’s priorities.”

Patriot games are no fun

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | June 4, 2015

When an elected, representative government no longer trusts its every-day constituents, it replaces confidence with paranoia.

When the controversial USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 was first enacted in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on New York and the Pentagon, there were members of Congress who saw the distrust growing but still moved forward with one of the more intrusive pieces of legislation in U.S. history.

Although the act made it through both houses on Capitol Hill, the law’s strong opposition from many Democrats and Libertarian-leaning Republicans gave citizens the resolve to criticize the PATRIOT Act’s provision to allow the FBI authority for warrantless wire tapping.

One of those critics was President — then-senator — Barack Obama. In a Dec. 14, 2005 letter to fellow senators, Obama and seven of his senate colleagues outlined concerns with several provisions in the act which were sent to expire that year. The

group of eight were trying to, at least, amend if not force the National Security Letters and warrantless wire tapping provision to sunset as scheduled. Now, the president is trying to preserve the powers of the law.

The USA Freedom Act, which passed the Senate Tuesday in a 67-32 vote is a step in the right direction, forcing the National Security Administration to provide cause to phone companies before they release collected data for terrorism and criminal investigations. But the Freedom Act does not change the fact there is still a missive stockpiling of phone records by a large entity. The president is trying to walk the tightrope between privacy and security, and unfortunately he’s had to change his stance on data collection to do it.

Global threats for the United State’s have changed since 9/11, and its enemies have evolved.

The constant threat of Al Qaeda’s organized terrorism network has been replaced by an extrem-

ist sec attempting to create a nation-state. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is a real threat, but the CIA and NSA’s ability to investigate potential American conspirators would not be diminished by keeping the sanctity of American’s private lives and phone records intact.

Americans don’t see the collection of their data. It’s invisible, and 99 percent of citizens will never be affected by the collection. But the possibility is there.

When the government, or any company, begins to collect large amounts of personal data on an individual there is always a risk it could be used improperly and used in negative ways.

We now allow companies into our lives without thought. When someone signs up for Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, many users will put private information including photos, videos, addresses and telephone numbers online without considering repercussions. Even after the information is deleted from a public profile, it

still exist in the Facebook, Google and Twitter servers.

The USA Freedom Act now reaffirms the government’s seal of approval to allow mass data collection. The act would require government agencies to jump through more hoops to obtain it. No longer will the data collection be warrantless on the part of the FBI and NSA, but our phone records are still being stored, and someone will still have access.

I’ve always preferred to think of the U.S. government as an extension of ourselves, with social and regulatory programs meant to improve the quality of our lives, protect our personal assets and interests. I’ve never felt U.S. government agencies as a whole were in the business of hurting the people they serve. But disingenuous individuals have been shown to make their way into our bureaucracy, and I don’t know if I want them holding the key to my data lock box.

Family get together

Small business is big business in Iowa

By Jayne Armstrong From Sioux City to Des Moines to Davenport and every small town in between, small business is big business in Iowa.

Small business owners are our friends, our family members and our neighbors. They are located in the shops around the corner, our housing developments and the industrial parks across town.

They may be small and too often taken for granted, but they represent the heart and soul of Iowa’s economy.

Small business owners are very special people. Their work ethic, vision and willingness to take risks should be embraced and celebrated. Their commitment to their employees creates a sense of family in their communities, which are often their hometowns. In fact, the employees are often their own family members. Iowa has one of the richest histories of family-owned businesses in America.

In celebrating Iowa’s small business success we must look beyond the individual small businesses to the communities themselves. Small business success depends on a strong economic development environment that supports start-ups and existing small businesses positioned for growth. This includes everything from access to capital, ordinances and regulations, special initiatives, a collaborative environment and advocacy.

Earlier this year the U.S. Small Business Administration organized a competition to iden-

tify Iowa’s Small Business Community of the Year. As a recent transplant to Iowa, I was amazed by the depth of support for small business statewide. Every single community nominated deserves praise for creating economic development environments that help entrepreneurs start, build and grow their businesses. The selection process was very difficult, but in the end one community stood out — Manning, Iowa.

Manning is a small community of 1,500 in Carroll County.

Manning is Iowa. It represents everything that is good about Iowa — a sense of community, neighbors helping neighbors and a strong sense of pride in their hometown. That community spirit translates to its business environment. In an age of brain drain it is refreshing to see young entrepreneurs returning to their native Manning to start small businesses and raise their families.

It is the type of town where the mayor and local economic development leaders re-arrange their busy schedules to spend a day showing off their business community to a new Iowan. It is where everyone comes together to support small business – small and large businesses; federal, state, regional, county and city officials; community foundations; lawyers, bankers, CPAs and insurance professionals; and the citizens themselves.

Iowa is widely recognized as having one of the strongest networks of Main Street communi-

ties in the nation. Manning embraces its Main Street identity, brick by brick, tin tile by tin tile, by melodically restoring its old buildings to their original character.

Most importantly, Manning’s success is a result of its collaborative environment. Personal interests are set aside for the advancement of the small business community. Economic development officials have mastered the art of leveraging federal, state and local government funding with private sector and non-profit foundation programs.

I have held economic development positions in a number of states, but I have never worked with such a strong economic development infrastructure as we have in Iowa. We are fortunate to have elected officials at the federal, state and local levels who get it, who understand small business’ importance to the economy.

As we celebrate Manning as SBA’s Iowa Small Business Community of the Year, let’s celebrate Iowa and all of our towns, regions and cities that support the concept of Be Loyal, Buy Local. Iowa is small business and small business is Iowa.

Jayne Armstrong is the district director of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Iowa District Office. The selection committee for the Iowa Small Business Community of the Year Award included representatives from the SBA, SBA’s Office of Advocacy, America’s SBDC Iowa, SCORE, the Iowa Center for Economic Success (SBA Women’s Business Center) and USDA Rural Development.

From a large family, I’m the youngest of eight children, we used to get together all the time.

Not just w i t h brothers and sisters (I dislike the w o r d By Curt Swarm “ s i b - Guest Columnist lings,” it seems so nonrelated), but with aunts and uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins and grandparents.

There was no, or very little, organization to this, we, or they, just showed up. It was usually on a Sunday afternoon.

We, or they, would drive miles across country to just pop in. We never thought of calling ahead — that would have meant a long-distance phone charge. Upon arrival there would be yard games, a wild search about town for the only open store with ice cream, and maybe a couple of chickens with their necks wrung. Upon leaving, there would be armfuls of frozen meat, plant clippings and dirty, passed-out kids in the backseats of cars.

I don’t know what happened to all that, but our family never communicates anymore, let alone gets together. Of course, there are issues, but what family doesn’t have issues?

It’s not just the Internet, or social networking, or the NFL on Sunday afternoons, we just drifted apart. Why? I dunno. Being too busy seems a trite excuse. I miss those days of getting together with family.

For Mother’s Day this year, I wrote an article about my mother, and included her picture. My column is spread around the state, in 20 or so newspapers. Lo-and-behold, I got an email and then a phone call from a long lost cousin, Pammie, from Agency. I knew I had some relatives in the Ottumwa area, but hadn’t gone to the trouble of looking them up. (I’m just as guilty as anyone.)

Pammie had been reading my columns in the Ottumwa Courier for years, and seeing my picture, but couldn’t believe it was the same Curtie she used to play with. (Let’s see, it’s been 50 years or better.)

When she saw the picture of my mother, her Auntie Grace, the “ah ha” moment occurred.

Presto-chango, a family get together! It was at Pammie’s house in Agency. In actual attendance were second cousin Pammie and her husband, Tedd, and their daughter Amy; my sister, Angel, and her son (my nephew), David; cousins, Robin, Shirley, and Roxie (Foxie Roxie); and my girlfriend, Ginnie; and, of course, me. I say in “actual” attendance because we were all there, eating baked beans, ham sandwiches, and Jello cake, telling stories about Gandma and Grampa Brown, Aunt Oma and Auntie Grace, and, with much head scratching, erasing, and telephone calls, making a family tree. In cyber connection, via the computer, of all things, were cousin Rick from Arizona, and cousin Neal from Idaho. Cousin Neal is in his eighties and is tech savvy. He had to tell me how to download Tango onto my Android so that he could be present — a new twist to an old fashioned get together.

I had brought one of my sculptures as a gift for Pammie’s flower garden for arranging this much over-due family get together. When Ginnie and I left, we took with us a tub of baked beans and a plate of death-by-chocolate brownies. My sister, Angel, and her son David, took with them a bird feeder made from a gallon ketchup jug. It attracts Baltimore orioles. I hadn’t seen a Baltimore oriole since I was a kid. But one was present for our entertainment while we were stuffing our faces.

We’re making plans for our next get together in August.

Helicopter mom can’t stop keeping tabs on teenager

DEAR ABBY: I’m having a hard time letting my almost 17-year-old daughter out of my sight. When she walks home from school, I call to make sure she’s OK, then call her again minutes later when I estimate she’s home.

The whole time I worry.

I check on her wherever she is, whomever she is with, and if she doesn’t answer a call or text, I panic. I have on a few occasions raced home from work in the middle of the day only to find her napping, and I’m upset to the point that I’ll start crying. I realize this isn’t healthy for either of us.

Years ago, a little girl in our town, the same age as my daughter, was taken from her home and murdered. I think that plays a part in why I act so irrational. Some of her friends will be driving this summer and I can only imagine there will be trips to the beach (three nightmares in one!) and whatever else.

I guess I just want to know how to come to grips. — FRANTIC MOM OF A TEEN IN FLORIDA DEAR FRANTIC: While your fears are based on a real incident, your daughter is no longer a little girl. You can’t protect her forever, and as a teenager, she needs to establish some independence. You would be doing both of you a favor to talk to a licensed mental health counselor NOW about this, because your fears are excessive.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve reached the point in my life that I can no longer hide fine lines and crow’s feet. It is bothering me greatly. How do other women handle it, especially when the deep lines form?

I’ve talked to others my age and it doesn’t bother them. I want to talk to elderly people and ask them, but I don’t know how to politely broach the subject. I feel guilty for being vain and I hate that, but it’s hard for me to accept.

Please help. — HATING AGING IN EAU CLAIRE DEAR HATING AGING: I don’t think anyone, male or female, relishes the idea of being old — particularly in American society — unless they consider the alternative, which is death.

Men and women handle signs of aging in different ways. Fortunes have been spent on beauty products, with varying degrees of success, although hope-in-a-jar springs eternal.

Board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons can minimize the signs of aging with fillers, Botox, lasers and surgery, but they can be expensive.

Others accept that beauty comes from within and opt to do nothing to change their appearance.

Talking to people in their 70s, 80s or 90s about the changes they have experienced and the lessons they have learned as they grew older is a good idea.

I’m sure you’ll receive some enlightening input. But if it doesn’t change your feelings, talk to a doctor because a good one can work “miracles.”

DEAR ABBY: I live in Miami and my mother-in-law lives in Ohio. My husband just told me she is planning to move here and live with us. I don’t mind her moving in with us because she is my mother-in-law, but her boyfriend of 15 years is also coming down. Her boyfriend’s brother is moving to West Palm Beach. (It’s the reason why they are moving.) Does it make me sound petty to say I don’t want the boyfriend to move in with us? — MOTHERIN-LAW DILEMMA DEAR DILEMMA: Petty? I don’t think so. You are not running a boardinghouse. The boyfriend is no relation to you, and if you prefer not to have a stranger living under your roof, that should be your choice.

1 Solar energy to power nearly all of Iowa school district

WAYLAND — Work will begin this summer on a planned solar farm at a small, southern Iowa school district, and officials say its completion would make the district the first to be almost fully powered by sunlight. The WACO district in January installed a large solar collector farm behind its elementary school in Crawfordsville. Crews are expected to begin work July on another solar farm behind the junior-senior high building in Wayland. District officials say the farms together should provide more than 90 percent of its electric needs.

2 Teen accused of fatal stabbing says he was protecting mom

BETTENDORF — Police say an eastern Iowa teenager accused of fatally stabbing his 34-year-old brother told investigators that he thought his sibling was about to attack their mother. A criminal complaint filed by Bettendorf police has provided new details about Saturday’s slaying. The 15-year-old has been charged with first-degree murder, and prosecutors want to try him as a youthful offender in adult court.

3 Iowa teacher takes plea deal in sexual abuse case

COUNCIL BLUFFS — A 46-yearold western Iowa teacher accused of sexually abusing a student has taken a plea deal. Online court records say Barret Glasnapp pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of sex abuse and two counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee.

Prosecutors dropped several other counts in exchange for Glasnapp’s pleas. His trial had been scheduled to begin Tuesday in Pottawattamie County District Court in Council Bluffs.

Man arrested after leading officers on chase DUBUQUE — A 25-year-old man accused of leading police on a chase through several Dubuque neighborhoods has been arrested. Court records say Jimmane Pittman, of Dubuque, was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with eluding and other crimes. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment on Pittman’s behalf.

Police say in a news release that an officer tried to pull over Pittman because the officer knew Pittman had a five-day jail sentence to serve in another case.

5 No sentence change for man who threatened children

CHARLES CITY — A judge has refused to change the five-year sentence given to a Charles City man who made threatening statements against schoolchildren.

Forty-nine-year-old Loren Saxon pleaded guilty last year to charges of intimidation and public intoxication. Officers reported in August that Saxon said he was a member of the al-Qaida terrorist organization and that he would shoot as many children as he could.

Baxter pride on display at Skiff Medical Center gift shop

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune Skiff Medical Center accepts patients from towns all over the county, but as far as volunteering goes, the City of Baxter is well represented.

While visiting the gift shop inside Skiff, there’s a good chance customers meet one of the four volunteers from Baxter who work there.

Donna Akins and the three other women are recently retired and found a new work home at the hospital. They are known as the Baxter girls to the other volunteers.

“I do think some of the volunteers are surprised we come all the way from Baxter,” Akins said. “And they do call us the Baxter girls too.

I think they appreciate that another town in the county is showing interest.”

Even though all four of the volunteers work in the same gift shop, each of them found their way to Baxter at different times of their lives.

Sharon Allspach worked with Akins for 30 years at Baxter Community Schools prior to volunteering at Skiff Medical Center and said she has liked following that up with her volunteer work.

“It was an extremely

Alex Olp/Jasper County Tribune Baxter residents, from left, Donna Akins, Judy Sumpter, Nancy Foreman and Sharon Allspach volunteer at the Skiff Medical Center’s gift shop. Marge Tiedje, right, who has been volunteering for 26 years, joins the picture with the Baxter girls.

rewarding career, but I had found this to be just as rewarding because I see the goodwill from the volunteers and then the people in the community who come in and support it,” Allspach said.

The gift shop sees plenty of foot traffic each day and the proceeds of the store fund scholarships for students going into the medical field.

At a recent luncheon, 22 scholarships of $1,000 were given out — two of which were received by Baxter students.

“To actually see that money go to a good cause and go to those students to further their

education into a medical profession has made us better people,” Allspach said.

After so many years as an English teacher at Baxter, Akins said it has been an interesting transition to working at the gift shop.

“I like it because it’s so different from what I did in my career and so it has expanded my friendships,” Akins said.

“You’re used to helping students, but here you’re helping someone find a gift. It is fun to do something totally different from what we did.”

Profits from the gift shop also help fund improvements for medical

equipment at Skiff.

Akins is actually neighbors with another member of the Baxter girls — Nancy Foreman.

Foreman retired from an accounting career at Prairie Meadows two years ago. She then became the first of the four to begin volunteering at the gift shop.

“They were good followers,” Foreman said in regard to the other three women who began volunteering after her.

The Baxter girls consider the Skiff Medical Center gift shop to be the best kept secret in town because of the variety of items it offers. The merchandise is selected

by Allspach and Judy Sumpter — the final Baxter girl who doesn’t actually work in the gift shop but teams up with Allspach to order merchandise and stock shelves after the store is closed.

Sumpter said helping the gift shop function and knowing the funds will go to a good cause creates a great sense of accomplishment each time she works.

“When we come in and we unpack, set stuff out and then go home, I don’t think our feet are touching the ground.

We just have such a good feeling,” Sumpter said.

Akins agreed and said it’s a place she loves being each day.

“I just like the medical atmosphere. I’ve always liked that,” she said. “Just being in here and seeing people come in. You leave with a warm feeling and it’s nice to know whatever you sell is going to go to a good cause.”

Working in a hospital, the volunteers get to talk with a variety of people going through numerous situations, which Allspach also said creates a rewarding feeling.

“I think it’s meeting people and being able to visit with them and listen,” Allspach said.

“There’s some sorrows sometimes but there’s some joyous times as well with newborn babies. It’s just a feeling of goodwill. You meet so many people.”

She said she loves directing guests to the baby section, which is one of many improvements the gift shop has made throughout the years.

Marge Tiedje, a Colfax High School graduate and 96-year-old Newton resident, has been volunteering her time at the gift shop for 26 years and has seen it multiply in size.

“I’ve enjoyed it and I’ve seen it grow. It’s much more than it used to be. It was just a little tiny hole in the wall,” Tiedje said.

Outside of the baby section, the shop also sells jewelry, clothing, flowers, house decorations, purses and cards.

The Baxter girls even said people come from out of town just to stop at the gift shop.

Only one volunteer usually works at a time, but despite working separate shifts, the four volunteers from Baxter are still known as the Baxter girls within the gift shop.

Cookies Continued from Page 1A However, the biggest reason they want to run a small business is to provide more opportunities for their three children.

The Mardesens have two of their three boys living at home who will help their parents run the business and will tag along during their family trip to Missouri this summer to set up at the Missouri State Fair.

“We feel it’s a great opportunity not only for us but our kids,” Mardensen said. “I look at it from a standpoint where they could end up going on to operate this and make more money than any kid working for a grocery store or fast food place.”

Their boys might even be able to operate it in a few years as high school or college students, the parents said, but they will definitely be involved in the operation this summer.

“Who knows one of them might be an entrepreneur,” Mardensen said.

“There’s a lot of untapped potential in this adventure for all of us that is kind of focused as not only being a family business, but as an educational teaching opportunity for our children.”

Mardesen also has a demanding job as city administrator and his wife is director of HR for the United Methodist Conference, so Big Oven Bakeshop will be adding more to their plate this summer.

However, their jobs are also allowing them to run this business on the side.

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | June 4, 2015 “I’m very lucky that I can take the time off to go away and help with it. It’ll be a learning experience to see how much time it really takes,” Joni said.

The family has events lined up this summer including many festivals, a trip to the Missouri State Fair and Monroe Bike Nights at the square. The Mardesens plan on continuing a similar operation as the previous owner.

The most recent event for Big Oven Bakeshop was a May 9 fundraiser for a police officer. Monroe residents are used to seeing their city administrator at city hall behind a desk, but being in a trailer selling cookies created a buzz at the event.

“There were some surprised looks on faces. They were saying ‘oh that’s Matt

and Joni.’ They know us but they don’t know us as Big Oven Bakeshop yet,” Matt said. “It created some smiles and it created some laughs and a lot of questions.”

A lot of people immediately became curious about their operation and wanted

to take a look inside, they said.

Big Oven Bakeshopp can cook 60 cookies in 12 minutes. The owners also sell ice cream with their cookies and also offer a $5 ice cream sandwich — which has a large sum of ice cream sandwiched to-

gether by two homemade cookies.

The small business gives the Mardesens a chance to try something different, but the city administrator also said Big Oven Bakeshop is a way to allow Monroe citizens to get a glimpse into their lives.

Cardinal bats wake up to win LHC opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Putting the ball in play is one of the ways Newton High’s Cardinals wanted to put pressure on opponents this season. The Cardinal hitters produced Wednesday in their Little Hawkeye Conference opener and it paid off.

Newton used a nine-hit attack to lock up a 7-3 victory over host Pella Christian Eagles. The Cardinals improved to 3-2 overall and 1-0 in conference play.

“We hit the ball tonight. On Tuesday, we didn’t hit the ball and lost a close game,” said Dustin Brisel, Newton head coach. “We got on base, put the ball in play and forced Pella Christian to make plays tonight.

Our hitters were in the zone.”

Also in the zone was sophomore starter Connor Gholson.

Gholson went all seven innings on the mound for the Cardinals, limiting the Eagles to four hits. He issued three walks and struck out six.

“Connor threw a great game for us. Our defense was solid again to back him up. We only had one error in the game,” Brisel said.

Newton had a big second inning, scoring five times. Tyler Wood led off by getting hit by a pitch and Jordan Travis singled to left field. Duncan Lee walked to load the bases.

Drew Stout, who was 2-for4 on the night, battled Pella Christian starting pitcher Clay Stravers and worked an RBI bases-on-balls. Gholson helped himself by driving in two runs on a single to left field. Gholson ended up at second base on the play and would score along with Stout when Jeff Stanton reached on an Eagle error.

The Cardinals added a run in the third when Wood was safe on an error, stole second base and scored on a single by Travis.

Jason Holwerda had replaced Stravers on the mound for Pella Christian. Newton’s lead was 6-0 heading into the fourth.

Newton softball battles, loses to Pella Christian

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Locked in another close contest to open Little Hawkeye Conference play, Newton High’s softball Cardinals led their host through four innings. Newton was up 1-0 on Pella Christian until the Eagles pushed across two runs in the fifth.

Pella Christian remained undefeated with a 2-1 win over Newton Wednesday. The Cardinals fall to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in conference play.

“Our defense was good tonight,” said Kristina McNew, Newton head coach. “It just wasn’t a good night at the plate for us.”

Newton had two hits. Junior Sydney Jenkins opened the game with a home run to put the Cardinals up 1-0. It was the only time the Eagles have trailed in seven games this season.

The game developed into a pitching dual between Newton eighth-grader Anna Coyle and Pella Christian sophomore Emma Schnell.

Coyle had quieted the Eagles’ bats with one hit through four innings. Coyle issued a one-out walk to Sophie Howerzyl in the fifth and Tessa Howerzyl reached on an error. Brooke Mitrisin laced out a two-out, two-run double for the Eagles.

That was it for the hitting by the two teams. Coyle was charged with two runs on two hits and three walks with one strikeout. Peyton Maher, another eighth-grader, took over in the circle. Maher threw two innings of no-hit, shutout softball with one walk and two strikeouts.

Schnell retired 20 of 23 after Jenkins’ home run to start the game. She racked up 15 strikeouts and walked one batter.

Newton’s junior varsity lost 7-0 to Pella Christian.

Newton hosts Colfax-Mingo in a varsity doubleheader Thursday.

First pitch is at 6 p.m. at Newton’s Berg Middle School field.

Raider baseball ends long losing streak to Mustangs

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Seth Balke records an out at first base during a Heart of Iowa Conference game with Prairie City-Monroe in Prairie City on Wednesday. Balke helped the Raiders end a long losing streak against the Mustangs with a gem on the mound during a 3-2 victory.

PRAIRIE CITY — In his fifth year with the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball program, senior Seth Balke is one of many Raiders who have never been able to claim victory against rival Prairie City-Monroe.

Wednesday, Balke was handed the ball with the hopes of changing that.

Mission accomplished.

Stover Balke went the distance on the mound, surrendering just four hits and one earned run during a 3-2 road victory. His final line also included seven strikeouts and one walk.

But the only number Balke wanted to talk about was five — the number of years it took him and his Raider teammates to beat one of their biggest rivals.

“As a senior, I am glad I got the call

to pitch,” Balke said. “It didn’t come down to me saying I wanted to pitch.

It was nice to get them though, especially after I started my final year with a loss in our opener.

“It was a little shaky, but I got my confidence back as the defense just kept making plays behind me. Brady (Stover) got the big hit, and we were able to come with through with a run in the seventh inning.”

The Raiders took a 2-0 lead in the third following a two-strike, two-out, two-run home run by junior Brady Stover.

PCM evened the score in the fourth thanks to a two-run double by Jerod DeVries, but CMB manufactured the winning run in the top of the seventh and Balke got the Mustangs in order in the bottom half.

In the seventh, Spencer Gauch was hit by a pitch with one out.

That’s when CMB coach Max Seeman went to the hit and run and Gauch reached second safely on Brad Ritter’s grounder to shortstop.

Streak: CMB scores run in final at-bat to sneak past Mustangs Continued from Page 1B Gauch was eventually thrown out one pitch later trying to advance to third, but Ritter got to second on the play and then took third on a wild pitch.

The Mustangs’ third error of the game allowed Ritter to score the winning run.

It was a little bit of relief for Seeman. Earlier in the game, he called a suicide squeeze that ended in an out at home.

“I knew it would be close, and I knew it was going to be tough to get another guy on third base with less than two outs,” Seeman said of the decision to call the suicide squeeze.

“I wanted to try to make something happen. We got the bunt down but it went to the one guy it couldn’t go to.

“I like it when we are on this end of it. Good teams win close games. They are hard on me because I am getting old, but I am glad they are close. It gives us a chance to win them.”

According to quikstatsiowa. com and the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s website, CMB had lost 14 straight games against PCM dating back to 2007. The closest the Raiders came to winning was 6-5 in 2009 and 4-3 in 2008.

Led by Balke’s arm and Stover’s bat, CMB was able to finally get it done against the Mustangs.

“It feels really good. They are a good team. They can hit the ball and tonight they made plays and threw strikes against us,” Seeman said. “Our guys needed it, I needed it and I think it will help our guys in the long run.”

Both starting pitchers — CMB’s Balke and PCM’s Tyler Townsend — threw well enough to win.

Balke did not allow a base runner until the Mustangs plated two runs in the fourth to tie the game. He surrendered four hits and only one of the two runs was earned.

Balke also fanned seven and walked only one in the complete-game win.

“It was nice to have all my

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Tyler Townsend allowed one earned run on three hits but took the loss on the mound Wednesday, losing 3-2 to Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

stuff working,” Balke said.

“We went to the change up a lot tonight, and I was able to get lots of ground balls and the defense backed me up.”

PCM coach Shaun Hudnut was concerned coming into the season about finding a few pitchers to throw behind ace Austin Brown.

Hudnut got a strong performance from Townsend on Wednesday.

The senior threw all seven innings, allowed just three hits and only one of the three runs he allowed was earned.

Townsend walked none and struck out three.

“Tyler pitched well. He was focused, and he was in the zone all night,” Hudnut said.

Unfortunately for the Mustangs (2-4 overall, 2-3 in Heart of Iowa Conference) it was a second straight one-run loss.

According to Hudnut, the Mustangs didn’t take care of the little things in a 7-6 loss to Albia on Tuesday.

Wednesday, three errors plagued PCM’s chances of keeping the winning streak against CMB alive.

“The little things add up and they can come back to bite you in the rear end,” Hudnut said. “Overall, we have had good performances but we just need to clean up a few things.

“Mistakes are going to happen in baseball. They have to understand that and they have to play relaxed. We were a little tight tonight. They have to be able respond better. Part of that is being a 15-, 16-, 17-year-old kid.”

The Raiders (2-2, 2-2) got plenty of confidence in the third inning when Stover took a two-strike pitch from Townsend and sent it over the fence in right field. A few hours later, Stover announced on Twitter he had verbally committed to play Division I baseball at South Dakota State University.

“We try to change our approach with two strikes,” Seeman said. “We want to simplify things and all I want them to do is put the ball in play and he got a pitch up in the zone and it just carried out of here.”

CMB got hits from Hunter McWhirter and Brad Ritter

and Gauch reached on an error and was hit by a pitch.

Brown had a hit and scored a run for PCM. Clay Cooper was 1-for3 with a single and Connor Warrick had an infield single in the sixth.

DeVries’ two-run double in the fourth came with the bases loaded. It got over Stover’s head in center field and drove in Brown and Keuning, who walked earlier in the inning. Balke got out of that jam with back-to-back strikeouts though.

Notebook Both of CMB’s wins this season have been 3-2 scores.

And both times the Raiders scored the winning run or runs in the seventh inning. PCM returns to action at 7:30 p.m.

Jurgens homers in CMB’s shutout win over PCM Newton Daily News MONROE — A pair of streaks ended Wednesday night when Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s softball team upset Class 3A No. 11 Prairie City-Monroe on the road.

Payge Jurgens hit her first home run of the year, and Abbey Kahler held the high-powered Mustang offense to five hits over seven innings and the Raiders shut out PCM, 4-0.

CMB ended a four-game losing skid with the win, while PCM had its three-game winning streak snapped.

“We got a good win tonight,” CMB coach Troy Houge said. “I don’t know exactly how long its been, but we haven’t traditionally played well there.”

MacKenzie Schmitz started the game with a walk after falling behind 0-2. She came around to score on Jurgens’ homer and the Raiders led 2-0 early.

That lead held up through the fifth inning. In the sixth, Abbey Appelgate was hit by a pitch, Mikayla Eslinger singled and Harlie Durr made it 3-0 with a two-run single that blooped into right field.

CMB made it 4-0 in the seventh. Schmitz reached on an error to begin the frame and took second on the throw.

Megan Ritter followed with a single and then Schmitz scored later when PCM made

an error trying to pick her off third base.

K a h l e r earned the win in the circle for CMB. The sophomore allowed only five hits and struck Jurgens out six in earning her second victory of the year.

PCM senior Rachel Freland took the loss for the Mustangs.

She struck out 11 but PCM’s bats went quiet at the dish.

Jurgens had two hits to lead the Raiders at the plate. Mustang senior Molly Vignovich had two of PCM’s five hits and one was a double.

CMB (2-4 overall, 2-2 in Heart of Iowa Conference) welcomes South Hamilton to Collins at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

The Raiders travel to Ogden on Friday.

PCM (4-2, 3-2) travels to North Polk on Thursday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Lynnville-Sully 14, Tri-County 2 SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s Class 1A No. 8 Hawk girls turned nine hits and seven walks into 14 runs in four innings. The Hawks rolled to a 14-2 victory at home against Tri-County in South Iowa Cedar League play Wednesday.

The Hawks racked up 15 stolen bases as they ran on the

Trojans whenever the opportunity presented itself. Lynnville-Sully opened with three runs in the first inning and plated seven more runs in the second inning.

Tri-County produced two runs in the third, which was balanced by a two-run bottom the inning by Lynnville-Sully.

The Hawks scored twice in the fourth to end the game on a run-rule.

Madison Rasmusson allowed four hits and struck out five for her sixth win of the season as the Hawks are 6-0.

Rasmusson had six stolen bases plus hit a single and a triple.

Leading the offense for the night was Lysandra James with a single and a double, driving in four runs. Brenna Lanser doubled. Shelby Davis singled and had three stolen bases.

Hitting a single each were Kasiah Ehresman, Lizzy Van Manen and Haley James.

Lynnville-Sully is 3-0 in conference play. They go to Montezuma Friday in SICL action and play in the Oskaloosa tournament Saturday.

Roland-Story 9, Colfax-Mingo 8 STORY CITY — For the second straight night, the Colfax-Mingo softball team failed to hold a late lead.

This time, Heart of Iowa Conference rival Roland-Story scored seven runs in the sixth inning and rallied from an 8-2 deficit to win at home.

Amy Russell homered for the second straight game and finished with three hits and six RBIs in the loss. Ries Wilson also blasted her second home run of the season and totaled two hits in the game.

Alivia Haley and Mackensie Brown each had two hits and scored two runs. Colbee Cunningham collected two hits, too.

Russell started in the circle for the Tigerhawks, but was pulled with a lead in the sixth inning. She allowed five hits and three earned runs but also walked five and struck out two.

Cunningham got two outs in the sixth but not before Roland-Story (3-3 overall, 3-2 in HOIC) scored six runs. The big hit came from Kelsey Polaski, whose first homer of the year was a grand slam that evened the game at 8-all.

Polaski finished with two hits and five RBIs, while Jenna Clark had two hits and scored three runs.

Colfax-Mingo out-hit Roland-Story 13-10 and the Norse had four errors, but the Tigerhawks dropped to 1-6 overall and 0-4 in HOIC play.

It was their fourth straight loss.

Triple Crown hopeful American Pharoah is Belmont favorite NEW YORK (AP) — Bob Baffert and the rest of the group in charge of American Pharoah could smile and laugh Wednesday after the Triple Crown hopeful landed

in the No. 5 post position for the Belmont Stakes.

American Pharoah was made the early 3-5 favorite to win the Belmont and become horse racing’s 12th Triple

Crown winner and first in 37 years.

His post was the second one revealed during the outdoor draw at Rockefeller Center, leaving little waiting time for

Baffert & Co. With an eighthorse field set to run a grueling 1 1/2 miles on Saturday, post position matters little, unlike BELMONT | 3B

Van Zante leads L-S to rout of Tri-County

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team chalked up its third win in a row with a 16-1 victory at home over Tri-County. The Hawks needed just four innings to get the job done Wednesday.

“We hit the ball very well tonight with 13 hits and only striking out four times,” said Bob Scandridge, Hawk head coach. “Defensively, the pitchers are doing a good job of making opposing hitters put the ball in play, and our defense has been good making the plays.”

Tyler Van Zante threw a two-hitter for the pitching win for Lynnville-Sully.

He issued one walk and struck out three. He contributed at the plate also. Van Zante drove in five runs, going 3-for-4.

He scored four runs.

The Hawks struck for six runs in the first inning, added a run in the second, then tacked on five runs in third.

Tri-County scored its run in the fourth. The Hawks countered with four runs in their half of the fourth to end it.

Baker Zegers connected for a single and triple while Kyle Van Dyke hit two doubles.

Kobe Fisk delivered two singles and Caleb James had a two-run double.

After losing the season-opener to Iowa Valley, the Hawks have had three wins. With Wednesday’s win, L-S is 2-1 in conference play.

Lynnville-Sully plays Sigourney Thursday in Sully then goes to Montezuma Friday.

Blackhawks rally to stun Tampa Bay in Final opener TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — After 53 minutes of scoreless frustration, the Chicago Blackhawks needed less than two minutes more to roar back on top in the Stanley Cup Final opener.

Teuvo Teravainen and Antoine Vermette scored 1:58 apart late in the third period, and the Blackhawks rallied to stun the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Corey Crawford made 22 saves for the Blackhawks, who opened the final series in their quest for their third NHL title in six seasons with more of the clutch offensive play on which they’ve built a championship team.

“You just learn not to panic and keep working hard,” Crawford said. “Stick to your game plan, and we’ll get our chances.”

Nothing worked for Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane — but with their two biggest stars off the ice and the clock dwindling, the Blackhawks’ role players delivered to crush the Amalie Arena crowd celebrating Tampa Bay’s first trip to the Final since winning the 2004 title.

Teravainen scored through traffic with 6:32 to play, and the 20-year-old Finn forced the turnover that led to Vermette’s winner in the slot with 4:34 left.

“We got better as the game went on,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. “Huge goal through traffic, and then a nice shot by Vermy. Turned out to be a great third period. ... Finding a way to win is what this team is all about.”

Game 2 is Saturday night in Tampa.

Belmont Continued from Page 1B in the 20-horse Kentucky Derby.

Fourteen horses have won from the No. 5 post, including

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Stout and Gholson had back-to-back singles to left field to open the fourth. Stanton was hit by a pitch to fill the bases again. With one gone, Wood forced in a run when he was walked by Holwerda.

Gholson had limited the Eagles to two hits through five scoreless innings. Dillon Branderhorst doubled to lead off the sixth for the Eagles followed by Stravers reaching on an error

Ben Bishop stopped 19 shots and Alex Killorn scored in the opening minutes for Tampa Bay, which appeared to be closing in on a gritty shutout victory.

Until Teravainen’s goal through a two-man screen, the youthful Lightning gave a stellar defensive effort against Chicago’s high-powered offense.

“We really didn’t give them much the entire game,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said.

“Could we have made a few more poised plays? I guess we could have. But we had chances to put them away, and that was letting them hang around.”

In fact, Tampa Bay appeared to frustrate the Blackhawks to the point of biting: Lightning defenseman Victor

Hedman believes Chicago’s Andrew Shaw bit him on the torso during a scrum after the whistle in the second period.

Hedman lifted his jersey on the bench to show the bruise.

The 6-foot-7 Bishop was a few minutes away from his third shutout in four games, including a tenacious 2-0 victory over the New York Rangers to win the Eastern Conference title last Friday night.

Instead, Chicago’s steady work and Tampa Bay’s excessive caution finally was rewarded in dramatic fashion.

Shortly after Crawford stopped Ryan Callahan on a breakaway, Marcus Kruger and Valtteri Filppula provided screens in front of Bishop, who never saw Teravainen’s shot for his third goal of the

postseason.

Teravainen then forced a turnover by J.T. Brown in the Lightning zone moments later.

Vermette collected the bouncing puck in the slot and beat Bishop in the top right corner for his third goal, providing a timely return on the Blackhawks’ much-debated decision to acquire him from Arizona at the trade deadline.

Teravainen is the youngest player to have a multipoint game in the Stanley Cup Final since a 19-year-old Jaromir Jagr did it for Pittsburgh in 1991.

“It’s pretty amazing,” Teravainen said. “I know we have a great team. We have a lot of experience, but myself, I’m a young guy here, so I try to bring some energy. Tampa

Bay is a really great team. It’s a fast game out there. You have to be ready.”

The winner of Game 1 has won the Cup in 58 of the last 75 Finals since 1939, including the last three.

Chicago roared into its third Final under Quenneville and its 13th overall after outlasting Anaheim in a memorable seven-game conference final. A roster loaded with championship-winning players and veteran talent made the Blackhawks most observers’ favorite in this series despite questions about a defense relying heavily on just four players, including tireless star Duncan Keith, who played 29 minutes, 15 seconds against the Lightning.

Tampa Bay needed 20 games to win its second Eastern Conference title, but emerged from a Game 7 victory over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden with a wealth of confidence in its youthful, gifted lineup.

After a stirring pregame celebration of the Lightning’s return to the Final 11 years after winning their only title, they opened the Final with a noticeable jump on the Blackhawks — and Killorn needed just 4:31 to get the Lightning on top.

With his back to the net, the Harvard product made an exceptional backhand redirect of Anton Stralman’s shot, swatting down at a wobbling puck and knocking it past Crawford’s pad for his eighth goal of the postseason.

Captain Steven Stamkos said Tuesday that the playoffs have been Killorn’s “coming-out party” as an elite forward.

“I’ve always liked the five.

It’s a number I always do well with,” Baffert said.

The colt took his first steps on the dirt at Belmont Park earlier in the day, jogging

counterclockwise a day after arriving in New York.

“He went the wrong way, so he really didn’t learn a lot,” said Baffert, who is taking his fourth shot at one of the sporting world’s toughest feats.

Owner Ahmed Zayat bubbled over with his usual enthusiasm.

“I’m confident in the ability of American Pharoah because the horse is giving me that confidence. I’m not arrogant about it,” he said.

“The horse looks very healthy and happy.”

Jockey Victor Espinoza will be taking his record third shot at winning the Triple Crown, having lost last year when California Chrome finished fourth in the Belmont.

by the Cardinals. Branderhorst stole home to put the Eagles on the scoreboard.

Gholson got a ground out, and the Cardinal defense was able to double off Stravers at second on a fly ball to right field.

The Eagles loaded the bases with one gone in the seventh. Ben Bouwkamp walked to drive in a run then Branderhorst had a sacrifice fly for an RBI. With two, Gholson struck out Stravers to end the game.

Stout, Gholson and Travis each had two singles in the

game for Newton. Wood doubled while Mike McCormick and Tristan Peters each had a single.

“It is always a great feeling to begin conference play with a victory,” Brisel said.

Djokovic beats 9-time French Open champ Nadal PARIS (AP) — There was no trophy, and no title, on offer for Novak Djokovic at Court Philippe Chatrier.

Perhaps there should have been, considering what he accomplished.

Thoroughly outplaying the best there’s ever been on red clay, Djokovic ended Rafael Nadal’s 39-match French Open winning streak Wednesday by beating the nine-time champion in a surprisingly

lopsided quarterfinal 7-5, 6-3, 6-1.

It’s only Nadal’s second defeat in 72 career matches at Roland Garros — and second in 95 best-of-five-set matches anywhere on the surface.

Astrograph

There are a lot of greedy people in the world, and the ambitious Capricorn moon has us struggling to keep ourselves out of the category. This is the moon of more and better, but it’s also the moon of responsibility.

Where do you draw the line between need and want? How do you get what you deserve while also deserving what you get?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 4). Your definition of the good life will change. Certain early ambitions no longer feel right, and in their place will drop a much better fit. For the next seven weeks, you’ll focus on improving your physical and fiscal health. Your calling comes

200 S. 8th Ave. E. Newton (641) 792-7440

from within your family in August. September and January are the most romantic months.

Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 3, 33, 39 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is possible for your body and mind to be racked with fear and, at the same time, your spirit to be fearless. This is the warrior dynamic you were born to, and you can achieve this state when you know you’re fighting for the right thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s so much you want to do, but if you try to do everything, you’ll end up doing

110 N 5th Ave W, Newton nothing of note and feeling demoralized in the process.

Instead, pick one thing and do it well. Success!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re not in the mood to commit, and yet someone is requiring a commitment of you. So don’t be surprised if just as soon as you agree to do something, part of your mind starts searching for a loophole.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

What you know or what you believe, in the end, isn’t half as important as what you do. Actually, what you do may be the only thing that matters this afternoon. It’s a good thing you’re in the mood to take action.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In protective lion mode today, you’ll scan the scene and note right away what’s amiss, dissonant, incongruous or dangerous. Alert your loved ones. They may not listen right away, so hang in there until they get it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It may surprise you that you say something a parent would have said. Depending on how you feel about this, you could have some identity-related work to do today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even though you’re the sign of partnership, you have a resilient independence. Maybe the reason you’re so good in relationships is that you’re strong in yourself.

You’ll be working on the you-

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Some things just don’t work out. Why take it personally?

Usually, it boils down to a mismatch of interests. Your ability to wash your hands of it quickly and make a new plan -- now that’s a talent!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). This is what heroes do: embrace the worst-case scenario and go forward with velocity.

Anyway, when you’re willing to face the worst consequence, it often happens that it doesn’t show up.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Plain foolishness is easily spotted. Foolishness that’s been airbrushed, set to a soundtrack

and passed off under an expensive brand is also pretty easy to spot, at least for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You haven’t quite settled on your next goal. Don’t rush yourself. A sincere desire to be useful and help others bodes better for success than any other ambition a person could have.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ve spent enough days being in step with your people, and now you feel the rebellious urge to create your own rhythm. This will require great will, and don’t expect them to understand.
