New ramp planned for courthouse

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News David McNeer spoke briefly Tuesday night during Donald Trump’s first official campaign stop, stumping for the Republican presidential hopeful in a planned rally at Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines.

McNeer’s Maxim Advertising printed yard signs and buttons for Trump in anticipation of Tuesday’s announcement, and McNeer said Trump was making good on a promise he made a few years ago.

Trump announces bid for White House, equipped with Newton-made signs

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News DES MOINES — When David McNeer spoke with “The Donald” by phone a few years ago, he had no idea he would end up on a stage in front of an a worldwide audience.

But that’s where McNeer ended up Tuesday night. The Newton native and owner of Maxim Advertising spoke briefly at a planned rally for Republican presidential hopeful and billionaire Donald Trump at Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines, which turned out to be Trump’s first campaign stop.

Trump announced his candidacy Tuesday morning in New York City.

“What a great experience,” McNeer said after TRUMP | 3A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Hours after making an announcement in New York City about his candidacy for president, Donald Trump came to Des Moines, speaking at a planned rally at Hoyt Sherman Place. David McNeer of Newton’s Maxim Advertising spoke briefly about how he spoke with Trump a few years ago, and ended up printing yard signs and buttons for Tuesday’s event.

The Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved the reconstruction of the handicapped entrance on the west side of the courthouse. Buildings and Grounds Director Adam Sparks brought the proposal before the board and explained why changes needed to be made.

“We have issues right now with the way that it is built. With the change of sizes of things and today’s standards we have some people that can barely get in the handicapped west entrance in a wheelchair because they can’t get the corners,” Sparks said. “We also have vendors that can’t turn carts. You just can’t get turned with the sharp corners with the equipment we use today.”

The reconstruction will consist of taking out the bottom steps along with the two existing ramps and replacing them with a gradual ramp that will begin at the edge of the door and run until it becomes a part of the driveway. The two sidewalks on each side of the doorway will be taken out about 20 feet on each side to get the depth that is needed to get the main drive back in. The two sidewalks will be replaced

at the end of the ramp construction.

The only concern Sparks had was for the two pedestal lights on either side of the doors. Currently, he is unable to see if they will be affected by the construction but if any damage happens, they will returned to working order.

The county received three bids for the job and accepted a bid of $5,000 for labor and material from Jerry Keenan Concrete of Newton. Construction is not set to being until late summer or early fall, after most events have taken place on the courthouse lawn. All changes have been ADA approved and hope to make entrance for those with special needs, along with vendors easier.

In other business: • The board approved adding drain tile to sections on Highway F-62 between Highway 163 east and Highway 14, F-36 from Highway S-52 each to Cherry Creek Bridge, Highway T-12 from Highway 6 north to Highway 14 and North 67th Avenue East form Highway T-12 east to Indian Street.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News In late summer or early fall, construction will begin on the west handicapped entrance to the Jasper County Courthouse to update the ramps that have become difficult to use for those in need and vendors.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik presented the City of Newton’s Continuity of Operations Plan to the city council at its Monday meeting.

The plan, which has been in the works for the past 18 months, was put together by city directors and staff in case of an emergency within the city.

“For the past 18 months or so city staff has been working pretty diligently at appreciating, understanding and preparing for an event that we hope doesn’t happen but we should be prepared for in the even that it does,” City Administrator Bob Knabel said. “How do we ensure that public services continue in the event that we have city hall wiped out or public

In Brief Free sharing supper at Kellogg United Methodist Kellogg United Methodist Church will host a free sharing supper at 6 p.m. Saturday.

The free meal will be served in the fellowship hall and all are invited

to enjoy walking tacos, veggies and dip and angel food cake. Kellogg United Methodist Church is located at 417 Second St., next to the water tower in Kellogg.

Submitted Photo The Least of Saints Ministry is handing out “survival packs” at Thunder Nites bike nights with a few necessities while bikers are on the road, including chapstick, facial tissue and a Bible.

Least of Saints helping out bikers with ‘survival kit

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Least of Saints Ministry is offering a kind of motorcycle survival kit to those who stop by the church at 219 N. Second Ave. W. during Thunder Nites bike nights. Consisting of sunscreen, chapstick, ibuprofen, a comb, facial tissues, a bandanna, hair tie and Bible, the kit was something Pastor Scott Greene’s wife came up with.

“My wife’s the one who thought of this, she always thinks of the good stuff,” Greene said. “Probably because she’s been with me and opened up the bag and says we don’t have any Kleenex or this or that, it may have instigated that.”

They started giving them away at the first bike night this year and will continue until the packs are gone. Greene said that he has received a very good re-

sponse from the bikers and that they often forget the little things, bare necessities when going on the motorcycle. Greene hopes to continue doing little things like this to help promote the church.

“This is because I do ride motorcycles and we do go on long trips, you always end up that you need something, need some chapstick on the bike and we also put a Bible in it,” Greene said.

The chapstick in the pack was purchased online and they were able to put a label on it reading The Least of Saints for some self-promotion. He said that it has been good to get people in the church and see what they are all about, being that they are a little different from the traditional church.

“We have a different, more laid back way of worshiping,” Greene said.

The church has been working

to grow through other methods, including having a garage sale earlier this year. Greene said everything for the sale was donated and more than $1,000 was raised to be used for the church.

“People even showed up and just gave us money without taking anything,” Greene said.

With a portion of the money, he was able to purchase a TV to use during worship to add multi-media presentations, movies and clips. Greene hopes through their question and answer meeting and potential movie nights to get a wider audience into the church.

“Fellowship is as important as anything you do in worship. Just getting people exposed, getting them in the door and see what you have,” Greene said.

Whodunit playing out as Vatican reels from encyclical leak The Associated Press VATICAN CITY — There’s something of a whodunit going on in the Vatican to discover who leaked Pope Francis’ environment encyclical to an Italian newsweekly, deflating the release of the most anticipated and feared papal document in recent times.

L’Espresso magazine published the full 191 pages of “Laudato Si” (Be Praised) on its website Monday, three days before the official launch.

The Vatican said it was just a draft, but most media ran with it, given that it covered many of the same points Francis and his advisers have been making in the run-up to the release.

On Tuesday, the Vatican indefinitely suspended the press credentials of L’Espresso’s veteran Vatican correspondent, Sandro Magister, saying the publication had been “incorrect.” A letter from the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, to Magister advising him of the sanction was posted on the bulletin board of the Vatican press office.

Magister told The Associated Press that his editor, not he, obtained the document and decided to publish it.

“I just wrote the introduction,” Magister said in a text message, adding that he had promised the Vatican to keep quiet about the scoop.

In the draft of the encyclical, Francis says glob-

Congregational United Church of Christ, First Lutheran, First Presbyterian, St. Luke United Methodist Church, St. Stephens Episcopal, Salvation Army, Bethany UCC, Sacred Heart Catholic, and CAYA Wesleyan Church present:

al warming is “mostly” due to human activity and the burning of fossil fuels. He calls for a radical change in behavior to save the planet for future generations and prevent the poor from suffering the worst effects of industry-induced environmental degradation.

Several Vatican commentators hypothesized that the leak was aimed at taking the punch out of Thursday’s official launch of the encyclical, in which the Vatican has lined up a Catholic cardinal, an Orthodox theologian, an atheist scientist and an economist to discuss the contents.

They noted that conservatives — particularly in the U.S. — attacked the encyclical even before it was released, chiding the pope for talking science in a church document and insisting that global

warming isn’t a scientific reality. It would be in their interest, the argument goes, to fudge the pope’s message via a scoop by L’Espresso, since Magister has championed views of the conservative Catholic camp hostile to Francis.

Italian daily La Stampa suggested that the leak might have come from conservatives inside Vatican, noting that Francis’ reform plans for the Vatican bureaucracy have been resisted by the more conservative old guard who would have an interest in sabotaging Francis’ labor of love.

A leak, however, was to be expected, given that drafts of the document have been circulating for months and that the text had been translated into multiple languages before its official release.

Local News Trump Continued from Page 1A Trump had left Hoyt Sherman. “I got a call last Thursday, telling me that it wasn’t public yet, but he was going to announce his candidacy on Tuesday, and so we got some signs going.”

McNeer appeared in a 2010 news segment by the CBS show “60 Minutes,” talking about the closure of the Maytag plant and the economic struggles of Newton. Tuesday, he told the approximate crowd of 500 supporters that while he got a lot of phone calls after the show aired, not one of those calls was “from

He said that on the Monday after the 2010 airing of “60 Minutes,” Trump contacted him and asked that if he ever decided to run for president, McNeer to print some signs for him.

Maxim Advertising printed yard signs and buttons for Trump in anticipation of Tuesday’s announcement, and McNeer said Trump was making good on that promise he made a few years ago.

McNeer said he was called by longtime Iowa Republican Chuck Laudner, who has worked for Trump since February. Laudner asked if McNeer were still willing to

“It’s one of those things that you never have to dust off, but when you do have to actually do something, it something you want to be prepared for,” Wellik said. “We want to be prepared, we want to know we’ve done some things to put people in positions to know what their responsibilities are.”

Wellik discussed the types of emergencies that could happen in or around the city including tornadoes and ice storms. He talked about making sure people do not become complacent and always take the appropriate measures when an alarm is sounded, not just playing it off because an emergency has never actually happened.

The emergency management goals begin with providing effective life safety measures and reduce property loss. It continues with providing rapid resumption of business and community

“Newton city government provides vital services to its citizens.

As a result, reliability is critical and requires all city government departments to plan in order to maintain governance and conduct essential or critical operations during and in the aftermath of a destructive natural disaster, manmade or technological emergency.”

The plan will give the city the ability to continue providing essential day-to-day governmental business operations and services during a period of time when normal facilities and infrastructure have been compromised and are not available. That includes providing law enforcement, maintaining roads, paying employees and paying governmental bills. The city hopes with this plan to enable departments to resume essential functions with-

The yard signs lined sidewalks at Hoyt Sherman, and the buttons were accompanied by T-shirts, information packets and hand-held rally signs. Trump said he doesn’t take campaign contributions, nor does he take money from lobbyists, which he said is one of his main qualifications.

Also speaking in advance of Trump’s arrival was a 10-year Waverly boy who said he was impressed by what he learned from the billionaire during a recent campaign stop. A Nazi Holocaust survivor was also present, and recently crowned Miss Iowa, Taylor Wiebers, sang the National Anthem.

services including continuity of government.

“The faster we can get them back online, the better we are going to be,” Wellik said.

“There was study done that found that 47 percent of businesses that go out because of a catastrophic event will never reopen.”

The final goal is to provide accurate documentation and records.

Staff was trained through several online courses and the council was asked to participate by taking an online class themselves.

The council praised Wellik and the city staff for the work they have done to put the plan together and informally agreed to participate in the course work requested.

“I just want to applaud the work, having been in the Oklahoma City bombing with a company that was not prepared, when you go through something like that, it is serious stuff,” Council Member Lin Chapé said.

Contracts Continued from Page 1A “The difference between voluntary and involuntary, in transferring, reflect the process that we follow,” Callaghan said at the June 8 meeting.

Callaghan said he phoned Barb Hackworth, president of the Newton Community Education Association, to confirm the correct language was being used for the personnel of personnel listings.

“An involuntary transfer occurs when an individual is moved to an open position, and ‘involuntary’ refers to our process,” Callaghan said. “The term involuntary does not necessarily mean that a person does not want to move — it’s simply using the correct contractual language.”

ly in making assignments, as those transfers are not opened up for teachers to apply for them. Conversely, a voluntary transfer reflects the district’s attempt to locate a qualified teacher when there is not an obvious first choice in mind.

“A voluntary transfer occurs when an opening is created (via a resignation, retirement or termination) and other highly qualified individuals within and without the district are allowed to bid on that job,” Callaghan said, “and interviews are held to determine who will be chosen for the open position.”

The superintendent said a voluntary transfer, as defined in the relationship between Newton Schools and the NCEA, reflects a competitive process where a teacher is selected for a position.

Callaghan said there were about six transfers

that were involuntary for 2014-15, so an increase to nine for 201516 doesn’t seem like a large one-year leap.

Woodrow Wilson Elementary School teacher Doug Smith is technically one of this year’s involuntary transfers, as he will move from teaching fifth grade to teaching sixth grade.

“It’s a little bit messy to use the word ‘involuntary,’ because of its dictionary definition,” said board member Robyn Friedman.

Callaghan agreed with board members who suggested contractual terms be addressed in board policies in the future to see if those can be labeled in a way that’s more clear to the general public.

“We will work on that language moving forward,” Callaghan said.

Babbling Brooks

LeBron James’ style is the product of a broken culture

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | June 17, 2015

In the 2015 NBA Finals, LeBron James managed to wedge past or overpower Golden State Warrior defenders — but there was one opponent that has managed to shut him down throughout out his career.

There’s a challenger that keeps James not necessarily from winning championships, but from connecting with fans.

It’s not a speedy 6-foot-7 player, or even the NBA’s incredibly inconsistent officiating that really slow him down.

No, the demon that daunts James is not an athlete, or an injury or even some dark secret from his seemingly spotlighted past.

It’s a generation gap.

James simply doesn’t transcend to fans who appreciate teamwork. While some claim James’ physical skills and knowledge of the game are so superior, he looks like he can’t play at the level of his teammates, he actually transcends in a negative way: James’ one-

on-one, bulldoze-to-the-basket style is so archaic, so cliché, that he reaches out to create haters of the game of basketball among those who had lukewarm, neutral or nearly zero opinion of the game in the first place.

One of our Newton Daily News sports reporters, Troy Hyde, is a fan of James, in the sense that he is impressed with one player’s ability to lead a team that isn’t that talented, in terms of NBA strength, scoring talent or athleticism, and instantly make it a better team.

While I concur that James is truly one of the games more dominant players — certainly as a scoring threat — I don’t value this as an important trait in society. It bothers me that James receives the attention he gets, simply for scoring baskets, as his lack of a role as a team player is detrimental to all of society.

National media, marketing and the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise are all part of a larger

problem. At a time when divisiveness over everything from police issues to international terrorism to poverty and giant corporations are all at such a high level, “King James” and I’ve-got-mine mentality is the exact opposite of the unity we need.

The love the ABC broadcasting crew of Mike Tirico, Mark Jackson (I believe) and Jeff Van Gundy laud upon James is terrible. Aside from discussion over which Golden State players or defense can best contain James, the “mancrush” banter between Jackson and Van Gundy is one of the many reasons I typically watch sports TV on mute.

Van Gundy’s appreciation of James, from his position as a longtime NBA coach, is sort of understandable. Jackson acknowledges he was never the talent that James is, and that’s refreshing.

However, for a solid, respected, veteran play-by-play guy like Tirico, being a part

of Van Gundy’s and Jackson’s playground discussions of James makes Tirico seem like an elder statesman trying to hold court at the little kids’ Thanksgiving table. Roy Firestone, the former host of ESPN’s “Up Close,” said after Sunday night’s Golden State home win to go up 3-2 in the series that James’ banged-up Cavaliers have no chance to win, and that the Warriors are simply a deeper team.

To me, this is not a great statement about the great teamwork or franchise building as it is a sad reflection on how many teams try to build around superstars. Trouble is, it’s not just sports franchises and movie studios that are banking on homerun hitters; our entire society is consumed with hero searches — especially in government, science and the arts.

Legislature failed to act on strengthening working families After one-month of overtime, we wrapped up the 2015 legislative session in Des Moines on June 5. While extended sessions have become the norm in Iowa, I’m glad House Speaker Paulsen, Senator Gronstal, and Governor Branstad eventually chose compromise over gridlock. It is By Dan Kelley unfortunate many Iowa rank-and-file leg- Representative islators are not more involved in final negotiations.

Most legislators went home and waited for Senate and House leaders to make deals with the governor during the additional weeks. I don’t believe this is in your best interests, so, as in past years, I worked at the capitol every day of the extension. Sitting at home does nothing to help reach consensus. By being at the capitol during extra days, I had input on budget negotiations which led to adequate funding for a program to protect victims of domestic abuse, and rejection of a nearly quarter million dollar request from the governor to increase his day-today spending.

The governor is currently considering bills that reached his desk by passing both the House and Senate. As he determines what he will approve and reject, I’ll keep

you informed on how his decisions affect you, your family and employer.

Several ideas were offered this legislative session to strengthen Iowa’s working families. Some of the common sense ideas offered this year included: raising the minimum wage, stopping wage theft and paid maternity/family leave. Unfortunately, those ideas were voted down by the majority party, but could be considered during the 2016 legislative session.

I will continue to fight for these ideas, and others, to help Iowa’s working families.

There are more than 216,000 Iowans earning minimum wage who have not had a raise in nearly a decade. Over the last 30 years, the minimum wage has failed to keep up with the struggles working families face. If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, it would currently be $10.74 an hour. Today, working full time, 52 weeks a year leads to a salary of $15,080, below the poverty line for families of two. In Iowa, women make up 58 percent of minimum wage workers. Clearly, a reasonable increase is needed.

Also needed is legislation providing protection from wage theft to Iowa’s workers. Wage theft costs Iowans an estimated $600 million annually, disproportionately affecting low wage workers.

Employers violating Iowa’s wage payment laws underpay employees, make unauthorized and ille-

gal deductions from paychecks, misclassify employees and sometimes simply do not pay what is owed. Preventing wage theft is a top priority of many lawmakers and the measure was voted on this year, but it was rejected on a party-line vote by the majority party.

In conclusion, I want to congratulate and thank attendees, fundraisers, sponsors and organizers of the Relay for Life of Jasper County. By attending or helping with this recent event, you became part of an organized movement to put a cure for cancer and effective care at the top of our agenda. Money raised will be used to fund research projects and provide care to cancer patients in need. Much of this work takes place locally, at Skiff, and at the University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City. Work will begin shortly on next year’s Relay for Life of Jasper County. If you are interested in joining this movement, contact me and I will put you in touch with organizers.

Serving as your state representative is a year-round job. While the session ended June 5, and pay ended May 1, I’ll keep working year-round at home and the capitol. I’m always accessible to you and welcome hearing your ideas to make Jasper County a great place to live, work and raise a family. Our comeback belongs to all of us.

This week, Rachel Dolezal, the former local head of the Spokane NAACP, a lecturer in Afric a n a studies at Eastern Wa s h ington University, and a proud b l a c k By Ben Shapiro woman, was revealed to be a nonproud white woman. She lied about her personal history: She said her parents whipped her when they lived in South Africa, that she underwent rape and physical abuse, that the KKK targeted her with swastikas and nooses. No evidence exists to support any of this. Her parents point out that Dolezal has no black ancestry, and grew up in a Montana home as the child of two white parents.

Nonetheless, Dolezal insists she is black. “I was drawing self-portraits with the brown crayon instead of the peach crayon, and black curly hair,” she said to Today.

“It’s a little more complex than me identifying as black or answering a question of, are you black or white?”

Just two weeks ago, the world went gaga over Bruce Jenner’s transformation into Caitlyn Jenner; the left passionately insisted that Jenner’s genetics, hormones and penis did not mean he could not be a woman. The president of the United States felt the need to tweet out his support for Jenner, stating, “It takes courage to share your story.” Anyone who abided by the antiquated notion that biological sex exists was treated as a Neanderthal holdover.

Now, however, the left insists that Rachel Dolezal is not black. On June 9, The Daily Beast headlined, “Caitlyn Jenner Is Pissing Off Feminists and Bigots — Good

for Her.” Three days later, The Daily Beast headlined, “BREAKING: NAACP ‘Stands Behind’ Fake Black Woman.” The left insists on preserving non-biological, illegitimate racial barriers because they exploit those racial barriers for political gain; the left insists on destroying biologically based sexual differences because they wish to overthrow all established sexual mores.

So what distinguishes Jenner from Dolezal? On what basis can we reject Dolezal’s blackness, given that the left has now redefined objective reality as self-definition? If you want to be a woman, you are a woman. If you want to be black, why can’t you be black?

Nick Gillespie of Reason magazine makes the odd argument that Jenner had transformed into a woman because Jenner sincerely believes that he has transformed into a woman, whereas Dolezal had fraudulently lied about her race for gain. Now that Dolezal has averred her sincerity, presumably she is black.

Or perhaps there is some objective measure of race? But that, too, fails on the merits: Sex is significantly more biological than race, and it is significantly more significant than race. Skin color is surely biological, but the relevance of race is purely sociological, as even those on the left acknowledge.

As Ian Haney Lopez of U.C. Berkeley writes, biology “refutes the supposition that racial divisions reflect fundamental genetic differences.” Black people have black skin, but how black must your skin be for you to be legitimately black? In the Old South, one drop of black blood made you black, and therefore fit for discrimination. But that was a racist societal distinction, not a biologically based one. As Rachel Dolezal puts it, if you go far back enough, “we’re all from the African continent.”

Free financial advice could save you a bundle

DEAR ABBY: Making wise decisions about what to do with your money can be tough. Insurance policies, mortgages and investment plans come with so much terminology and fine print. The phone calls, email messages and mail offers for products and services are endless, and some are downright dishonest. It seems as if there’s a scammer — or an opportunity to make the wrong financial decision — around every corner.

To help your readers sort out the offers for products and financial services that come their way, USA.gov, the federal government’s official website, has created a free Financial Self-Defense Kit. It contains a dozen publications that explain how to make solid investment, shopping and credit decisions.

And it’s also filled with advice on protecting your consumer rights and recognizing and avoiding scams — especially those aimed at seniors.

Abby, thank you for sharing this empowering kit with your readers. Armed with the information, they’ll be better prepared and feel more confident facing financial choices. — SARAH CRANE, ACTING DIRECTOR, FEDERAL CITIZEN INFORMATION CENTER DEAR SARAH: Frankly, I should be thanking YOU for giving me the opportunity to share this valuable information with my readers. I thought the kit you produced last year was wonderful, but this one is even better.

Readers, I was shocked to read not long ago in USA Today that almost one-third of American workers have less than $1,000 in savings and investments for retirement. The reasons for this vary, but among them are that people haven’t estimated how much money they will need once they stop working until they are near retirement, when it’s too late.

This year’s kit will be valuable for any of you with an eye to the future.

It contains information to help you choose a financial adviser you can trust, and determine the difference between a solid investment and a fraudulent offer that could cost you your life savings.

Among the other “goodies” inside are: Money Smarts for Older Adults, Fighting (Investment) Fraud 101, Five Steps for Making Financial Decisions, Know Your Financial Adviser, The Guide to Long-Term Care Insurance, A Guide for Seniors: Protect Yourself Against Investment Fraud, Considering a Reverse Mortgage?, Understand Your Credit Score, and Your Rights When a Debt Collector Calls. (Can you guess the No. 1 consumer complaint received by the government last year? Debt collection!)

You will also find the newest edition of the Consumer Action Handbook, which no household should be without. (Inside is a sample complaint letter, which can be VERY effective in any number of instances when dealing with corporations, and company contact information.)

All this information is free of charge, but supplies are limited. To order, go to USA.gov/dearabby, call 888-878-3256 weekdays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time, or write: Financial Self Defense, Pueblo, CO 81009. Don’t procrastinate, because these kits are going to go quickly. --Love, ABBY

Waterloo council requires new homes to have garages WATERLOO — All new homes built in Waterloo must include garages under a plan approved by the City Council.

The council voted 5 to 1 Monday to change a zoning ordinance and require all new single or two-family homes built after July 1 to have a garage. Councilman Steve Schmitt cast the only vote in opposition, saying a committee should have been formed with contractors and others.

Bush starting behind others and nearly from scratch in Iowa The Associated Press DES MOINES — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush boasts blue chip donors, some of the best advisers in the campaign business and, of course, a famous political name.

But when Jeb Bush it comes to first-tovote Iowa, he’s practically starting from scratch.

The former Florida governor makes his first visit to the leadoff caucus state

as a declared candidate Wednesday, where he has just three employees and has made only two visits this year. That’s far less time and resources than most of his rivals for the GOP nomination have invested in Iowa.

“He has some making up to do,” said former state Rep. Renee Schulte, a Bush supporter.

Asked this week if Bush was spending enough time in Iowa, Republican Gov. Terry Branstad — a cheerleader for Iowa’s outsized political influence — was telling in his answer. He spoke about someone else.

“I would certainly compliment Governor Perry,” Branstad said, referring to

the former Texas governor, Rick Perry. “I think he’s been here the most. And I think he’s building a good organization.” Perry has visited Iowa more than a dozen times in the past year.

Bush’s aides say he can make the best use of the seven months until the caucuses by focusing more on populous areas such as swing-voting Cedar Rapids than on the sparser and more evangelical northwest.

“Governor Bush is looking forward to campaigning all over Iowa in the lead-up to the caucuses. He’s all-in on the Iowa caucuses, and will campaign the right way,” said senior Bush adviser David Kochel, who

4-state pipeline project gets OK for large crude terminal

is leading the early-state strategy. “He’ll go anywhere and work for every vote. He wants to earn Iowa’s support, in the caucuses as well as the general election.”

It’s a break with the traditional type of caucus campaign, such as the one waged by former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum in 2012, when he visited each of Iowa’s 99 counties as part of an intense — and ultimately successful — strategy to win the state.

It’s the approach Perry, who entered the 2012 campaign later and stumbled during debates, is now undertaking as part of an effort to win the state outright.

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A company proposing an oil pipeline from western North Dakota to Illinois has received permission for a large crude terminal near Watford City, along with heavy criticism for what some landowners say is arrogance.

The McKenzie County Commission on Tuesday approved zoning for the terminal, one of six planned in the North Dakota oil patch for the proposed 1,134mile Dakota Access Pipeline.

The pipeline would move oil from the Bakken formation through South Dakota and Iowa to a terminal in Patoka, Illinois, for distribution to refineries in eastern states. Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners wants it operating by the end of 2016.

Some landowners say the company’s negotiating style for land easements is overbearing. Company spokesman Chuck Frey says some land agents have been replaced.

Newton natives, Rogahn brothers earn Eagle rank Newton Daily News Kristopher and Zachary Rogahn were recognized at an Eagle Court of Honor on Saturday at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Newton. Kristopher and Zachary are members of Boy Scout Troop 354 which is sponsored

by Woodrow Wilson PTA. Troop 354 is led

by Scoutmaster Matthew Rogahn.

The Eagle Rank is the highest rank advancement the Boy Scouts of America offers. Only four percent of all boys who join Boy Scouts attain the rank of Eagle. An Eagle candidate must earn 21 merit badges, including 13 required badges and successfully complete a service project to earn the rank of Eagle.

Kristopher became active in the scouting program as a Wolf Cub in second grade.

He continued in Cub Scouts through fifth grade, earning the Arrow of Light Award before bridging into Boy

Scouts.

Kristopher’s Eagle project involved pulling together teams of people to remove old flags from the graves of veterans and replacing them with newer flags.

It also involved replacing war markers that were missing or in need of repair and centering them behind the graves.

Flags were placed on the graves of veterans of the American Revolution, Spanish-American War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Foreign war veterans, American Legion members and others in five cemeteries in Jasper County. The project concluded with a flag retirement ceremony.

Kristopher Rogahn has earned 40 merit badges on his Eagle journey and served as Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, Instructor, Historian and continues to serve as the Junior Assistant Scout-

master. He has spent a total of 93 nights camping including a trip to the 2013 National Boy Scout Jamboree, several trips to the boundary waters in northern Minnesota and a Trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Kristopher has also received more than 200 Polar Bear points for nights spent with temperatures under freezing. Kristopher has volunteered more than 68 service hours through the Boy Scouts of America. He is a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow and serves as the Vice Chief of Elections and Promotions for the Hawkeye Chapter.

Kristopher attends Our Savior Lutheran Church, where he participates in youth events and service projects.

He is a senior at Newton High School where he participates in band playing the trombone and is on the honor roll.

Zachary became active in the scouting program as a Tiger Cub in first grade. He continued

Zachary’s project involved the building of an outdoor amphitheater at Ashton-Wildwood County Park. He coordinated a team of volunteers to dig holes, put in footings, and build a stage and benches over a two day period.

Zachary Rogahn has earned 31 merit badges on his Eagle Journey and served as Assistant Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, Patrol Leader,

Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader and continues to serve as Troop Guide.

He has spent a total of 94 nights camping including trips to the 2013 National Boy Scout Jamboree, the boundary waters in northern Minnesota, and a Trek at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Zachary has also received more than 200 Polar Bear points for nights spent with temperatures under freezing. Zachary has volunteered more than 79 service hours through the Boy Scouts

of America. He is Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow and a 2014 recipient of the Jim Gooding award.

Zachary attends Our Savior Lutheran Church, where he participates in youth events and service projects. He has earned God and Me and God and Family religious emblems as a Cub Scout, and earned God and Church as a Boy Scout. He is a sophomore at Newton High School where he participates in band playing percussion and is on the honor roll.

File Photo Matt Crafton (88) comes to Iowa Speedway Friday for the American Ethanol 200 presented by Enogen with a 12-point lead in the 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver standings. Crafton won the NCWTS race at Iowa in 2011. He is the NCWTS two-time defending champion. The American Ethanol 200 starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday and will be televised on FOX Sports 1.

Top truck drivers to battle in American Ethanol 200

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News “It’s great racing. If you watch any racing and you’re a true racer, truck racing is the definitely the best racing in NASCAR,” said Matt Crafton, reigning two-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion.

“I firmly believe that, not just because I race it. Since 1995 when I started watching the truck racing, I thought it was amazing racing. It’s just awesome. The races are short enough we are able race so hard from green flag to checkered flag.”

Crafton, a 16-year veteran of the NCWTS who drives the No. 88 ThorSport Rac-

ing Toyota Tundra, leads the 2015 series by 12 points over second-year series driver Tyler Reddick. Another veteran, Johnny Sauter (12 years) sits third in the series standings.

Crafton, Reddick and Sauter will be joined by the 2014 American Ethanol 200 winner Erik Jones on the Iowa Speedway track Friday for the 2015 American Ethanol 200 presented by Enogen. The green flag drops at 7:30 p.m., and the race will be televised on FOX Sports 1.

Jones recorded his second career win at Iowa last year. He is in fourth on the NCWTS driver points standings coming into Friday’s race. Crafton won at Iowa in 2011 and ran third a year ago.

Jones

Both drivers participated in a Goodyear Tire test at Iowa Speedway on May 5.

“Last year’s race at Iowa turned our season around. We had some rough weeks leading up to that race, getting the win was big,” Jones said.

Jones, who has not won a truck race this season, is looking for another turnaround at

Iowa Speedway. Last week, Jones and Crafton did not finish the NCWTS race at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Ill. The Drivin’ for Linemen 200 was won by Cole Custer, a 17-year-old who will make his fourth start of the season Friday at Iowa Speedway.

“It’s no fault of our own or anybody else’s. We’ve put ourselves in great position to win and have had a fast truck.

We haven’t been able to close

it out or execute late in the race,” Jones said. “We’ll keep doing what we’ve been doing and hope things swing around for us.”

Jones drives for Kyle Busch Motorsports said the team has a good package for the Iowa race. He said when the team was at the track in May for the Goodyear Tire test, “our stuff was pretty good, so we’re looking to grab a win this weekend.”

Cardinals beat Tigers

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Duncan Lee breaks for first base after hitting the ball.

Hits were at a premium Tuesday night in a non-conference game between Newton High’s Cardinals and the Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Tigers. The Cardinals had one more hit than the Tigers and won 2-1.

Newton sophomore Connor Gholson held the Tigers to one hit through six innings. ADM’s Logan Lemke threw three innings of two-hit, shutout baseball, then gave way to Sam Kornstad. Kornstad had two innings of no-hit work before Ethan Herron took over in the sixth for the Tigers.

With one gone in the bottom of the sixth in a scoreless game, Gholson reached on an error followed by a single by Tyler Wood. Duncan Lee delivered a two-run triple to left field to put the Cardinals in front 2-0.

Gholson issued his third walk of the game with one out in the top of the seventh, and Joe Sloss made use of it for ADM. Sloss tripled to right field to drive in a run.

A bunt turned into a fielder’s choice with a play at the plate as Gholson delivered the ball to catcher Jordan Travis to cut down Sloss trying to score the tying run.

Ethan Herron’s double put two on with two outs

for the Tigers. Gholson coaxed a grounder back to the mound and he threw out Jack O’Brian at first to end the game.

“Connor threw lights out tonight,” said Dustin Brisel, Newton head coach. “He threw 80 pitches tonight and was ahead of batters. Connor was in control of the (strike) zone.”

Brisel said he put the hitand-run on in the bottom of the sixth inning. He said he knew Wood would be up there swinging with Gholson on base.

“With the hit-and-run, it got Connor rolling early CARDINALS | 3B

PCM turns to small ball in win over Norse

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe softball coach Whitney Plein changed things up in the fourth inning of the Mustangs’ Heart of Iowa Conference contest with Roland-Story on Tuesday night.

The Mustang offense was 2-for-9 through the first three innings and didn’t have a good approach at the plate, so Plein called an audible.

“We came out and didn’t take good approaches and weren’t swinging the bat like we normally do, so we just went back to the basics,” Plein said. “We were trying to get some runs across and the girls did a good job executing. We are pretty quick so the bunt works in our favor.”

PCM used the bunt to its advantage against the Norse.

And it also helped loosen up the Mustang bats.

Sophomore Katie VandeWall scored both PCM runs, sophomores Jayci Vos and Chelbie Gillespie each had RBIs and single runs in the fourth and sixth innings were enough as the Mustangs also got a strong performance in the circle from senior Rachel Freland during a 2-0 win.

The victory completed the season sweep against Roland-Story. The Mustangs defeated the Norse in Story City, 13-0, back on May 29.

Freland was perfect through four innings against the Norse, who have now lost eight straight games. She worked around an error in the fifth and got out of a bases-loaded, one-out scenario in the sixth.

Freland also stranded two runners on in the seventh and improved to 7-5 on the year.

“She was excellent tonight,” Plein said of her senior pitcher. “Her and (catcher) Court-

ney (Bridges) were working well together tonight. They called the right pitches and the defense behind her did its job, too. They stepped up and made plays.”

The Mustangs improved to 11-6 overall and 6-3 in HOIC play. They have won four of five after losing three in a row last week.

VandeWall reached base on an error to lead the fourth.

She went to second on a wild pitch, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Gillespie and then scored went Vos smoked a Sydney Mathis pitch to left field.

VandeWall again was the catalyst for PCM’s final run.

She led off the sixth with a single, stole second and then took third on a throwing error.

Then, even with her cleanup hitter at the plate, Plein called for a squeeze bunt and Gillespie executed it to perfec-

tion and VandeWall’s slide into home made it 2-0.

“We wanted to put ourselves in a better position, and the girls tend to see the ball better when they bunt, which was evident by the hits we got at the end of the game,” Plein said.

The Mustangs tagged Mathis for 16 hits and six doubles in the first meeting back in May, but the Norse freshman was much better Tuesday.

She surrendered just four hits and only one of the two runs were earned.

Roland-Story finished with four errors.

On the flip side, Freland was flawless for four innings before Roland-Story got its first base runner in the fifth following an error.

The Norse’s first hits of the game came on back-to-back batters in the sixth, but Freland forced a fly ball to right field

Tigerhawks lose early lead, rally past GVC to earn season sweep

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — The Colfax-Mingo softball team put pressure on Grand View Christian all evening long but only had one run to show for it through five innings at Grand View University on Tuesday.

The Tigerhawks stranded five runners in the first two innings and left 16 on base in the game, but found a way to break through with four runs in the sixth inning during a 5-4 win over the Thunder.

Colfax-Mingo, which defeated GVC 10-0 earlier in the year, led 1-0 after three, but the hosts plated two in the fourth and one in the fifth to jump ahead.

Amy Russell got the fourrun sixth inning going with an RBI double that plated Alivia Haley and Erin Earles also collected an RBI single later in the frame.

Russell scored on an error, Ries Wilson scored on an RBI fielder’s choice by Rhiannon Haley and Earles’ single brought home Rhiannon Haley, who advanced to second on a single by Colbee Cunningham and went to third on an error.

The Tigerhawks used a two-out rally to get on the board in the first inning. Russell walked and Rhiannon Haley and Cunningham both singled to load the bases. Brooke Nicholson collected an RBI when she took ball four, but C-M left the bases full of Tigerhawks.

Colfax-Mingo left two on base in the second and stranded three more in the fifth, two in the sixth and left them loaded for a third time in the seventh.

Alivia and Rhiannon Haley both had three hits to lead a Tigerhawk offense that col-

lected 12 hits in the game.

Russell had two hits, two runs, an RBI and two walks and Cunningham added two hits in the win.

Russell was the winning pitcher. She allowed three earned runs on five hits and fanned five while walking four.

The win halted a threegame losing streak for Colfax-Mingo (4-13).

Two of its four wins on the

season have come in a sweep of the Thunder. Grand View Christian lost for the first time in nine games and is now 9-4 on the year.

Colfax-Mingo travels to Class 3A No. 3 Greene County on Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

and then snagged a comebacker to the circle that ended the inning with the bases loaded.

In the seventh, Roland-Story (7-11, 5-6) reached on another error to start the inning and then Bridget Concannon slapped a single up the middle. Freland ended the game by getting Jessica Hovick and Jade Elliott to ground out to first on back-to-back plays.

“They understand that the defense is behind Rachel and if she does her job, they’ll make plays behind her. They did that tonight,” Plein said.

The Mustangs return to action at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when they travel to Jewell to face South Hamilton. They host Class 3A No. 3 Greene County in a make-up game on June 19.

Hawk girls win; boys lose Warriors win NBA title

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — A six-run inning did in Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team Tuesday at home against West Marshall.

Lynnville-Sully’s softball team had a six-run inning to propel it to a win.

The Hawk baseball team lost 13-5 and the Hawk softball team won 8-1 in a non-conference games.

Just down the way on the Hawk softball field, the Class 1A seventh-ranked Lynnville-Sully girls plated six runs in the fourth to gain a 7-0 lead over the Trojan girls. They were up 8-0 before West Marshall scored in the seventh.

The Hawk girls are 16-2, and the Hawk boys go to 7-4. On Wednesday, the Lynnville-Sully teams are back in South Iowa Cedar League play against HLV in Victor. The Hawk teams travel to Sigourney in SICL action Friday.

“We played a very good 2A team tonight in West Marshall,” said Bob Scandridge, Lynnville-Sully baseball head coach. “We hit the ball well, but West Marshall hit it a little better.

We are playing good baseball, and playing good non-conference competition only makes us better down the road.”

Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team scored two runs in the first inning to take an early lead, but West Marshall had three runs cross the plate in the second. The Trojans’ six-run inning was the third to jump out to a 9-2 lead.

The Hawks were down 10-3 when

they scored twice in the fifth. West Marshall added two runs in the sixth and one more in the seventh for the final margin.

Kobe Fisk was the Lynnville-Sully starting pitcher, going 2 1/3 innings allowing six runs on four hits and two walks. Tyler Van Zante worked 3 2/3 innings, and was charged with six runs on four hits and two walks and struck out two. Josh Dunsbergen pitched in the seventh, giving up one run on one walk and had two strikeouts.

Caleb James hit a solo home run for the Hawks and had two stolen bases.

Baker Zegers hit two singles. Hitting a single each were Jake Brand, Fisk, Kyle Van Dyke and Ross Van Wyk. For the Hawk girls, Madison Rasmusson threw six innings of shutout softball, giving up one hit and striking out six. She also went 3-for-4 at the plate with three base hits.

Maria Rasmusson pitched the seventh inning, allowing one run on one hit and two walks. She struck out one.

Lynnville-Sully had 15 hits in the game. Kasiah Ehresman was 3-for4 with three singles while Lysandra James delivered a solo home run and a base hit. Brenna Lanser hit two singles.

Trucks Continued from Page 1B week’s race in Illinois, Crafton will be looking for his 200th top-10 finish in the series in Friday’s race.

“Iowa is a short track but has a lot of mile-and-a half feel to it when you are racing on it. It’s a lot of fun to race here,” Crafton said in May following the tire test. “The track is aging, and the surface is older and bumpier. It has widened out so there are multiple grooves to run in.”

Crafton gives a lot of credit of his success to his team. He is in his 11th full season in a second stint with ThorSport Racing. He has

CLEVELAND (AP) — As the final seconds ticked off and the Warriors began bouncing in celebration on their bench, Stephen Curry looked up and saw LeBron James coming at him.

James could do nothing more.

He extended a conceding hand and congratulations.

Moments later, Curry was hoisting a trophy in the air — one as golden as his team.

Revived by Curry, their freshfaced shooting superstar, and bonded by first-year coach Steve Kerr who made them believe, the Warriors ended a 40-year NBA championship drought on Tuesday night by finishing off James and the undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6.

Curry and finals MVP Andre Iguodala scored 25 points apiece, Draymond Green recorded a triple-double and the Warriors — using a barrage of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to put Cleveland away — won their first title since 1975 when Gerald Ford was in the White House, disco was in vogue and Rick Barry was flicking in free throws under-handed.

And these Warriors are a lot like Barry and his old crew: fluid, balanced, together. Just like Steve Kerr hoped.

“I’m kind of speechless,” said Curry. “This is special. To be able

the past four years to lead the team.”

Crafton said he and crew chief Carl Joiner work well together because of gray communication.

What is Crafton looking for Friday at Iowa Speedway?

“A win,” he said.

On Father’s Day weekend, John Hunter Nemechek and his father Joe Nemechek, continued to split driving duties in the family-owned No. 8 NEMCO Motorsports truck. That was until John Hunter’s 18th birthday on June 11, when he became eligible to run all tracks on the NCWTS circuit.

John Hunter Nemechek began racing in the NCWTS in 2014 splitting

seat-time with his father Joe. In their first year as a team, the father-son duo combined for a total of two top-five (one each) and 15 top-10 finishes en route to a seventh-place finish in owner standings. Last year, John Hunter finished eighth in the American Ethanol 200.

The NCWTS continues to act as a proving ground for young drivers to test their skills. The American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway marks the fourth race of the season that drivers between the ages of 16 and 18 can compete.

USAC

Continued from Page 1B champion and has two wins in the first three races of the season. The other victory belongs to his younger brother, Tanner, who is not racing at Iowa.

“I’m excited to come back to Iowa,” Swanson said. “Iowa Speedway is one of the bigger payment tracks we go to, and it’s the fastest one we’ve ever been on. The high speeds we can achieve and the progressive banking in the turns make Iowa Speedway very challenging.”

Swanson said as wide as the surface of the track is and the high banks allows the open-wheel sprint cars to put on a show with a lot of side-by-side racing. He said the Silver Crown cars have a lot of horsepower, but not the same type of grip on the track.

The cars will be capable of reaching speeds of 180 miles per hour. The maximum speeds of 180 mph happen generally toward the end of the straightaways.

Drivers accelerate all the way down the straight, reaching top speed just before braking to enter the turn. It’s anticipated that all-time USAC speed records will be shattered as the cars

take on “The Fastest Short Track on the Planet.”

“Iowa Speedway is one of the premier facilities in motorsports and having it as part of our list of Silver Crown venues is the next step as we continue to elevate the series profile,” said series coordinator Andy Hillenburg. “The past USAC races at Iowa Speedway are a big part of USAC’s history in the Hawkeye State, and the races there have always been competitive and memorable.”

Hillenburg said before 1971, USAC racing was part of IndyCar racing with dirt and pavement series. He said USAC and the Silver Crown Series has evolved into what it is today. Some of the former USAC drivers include Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt, Jeff Gordon and Don White, of Keokuk.

“You won’t see these sprint cars get sideways on payment and sliding like those at Knoxville (Raceway) on the dirt, but it is a different type of racing than fans at Iowa Speedway are used to seeing there,” Hillenburg said.

When USAC last appeared at the 7/8-mile asphalt paved tri-oval, Bobby East thrilled fans when he took the checkered flag for the third time at Iowa Speedway.

There will be two practices sessions

Saturday, starting at 10 a.m. The qualifying laps for the race begin at 12:30 p.m. followed by the driver introductions at 1:30 p.m.

Swanson holds a 33-point lead over Aaron Pierce in the Silver Crown Series. A.J. Fike, who is from Galesburg, Ill., is third, and he won at Iowa in 2010. Davey Ray, of Davenport, races in the series.

Ticketholders for the USAC Silver Crown Series at Iowa Speedway may redeem their USAC Silver Crown Series ticket for admission to the Lucas Oil Championship Cup Series at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.

This opportunity is also available to Iowa Speedway Season Ticket Holders and fans that purchase race weekend tickets.

Fans attending the USAC Silver Crown Series at Iowa Speedway Saturday, must hold on to their tickets to redeem them for admission at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville later that night.

to hold this trophy and all the hard work we’ve put into it this season, this is special. We’re definitely a great team and a team that should go down in history as one of the best teams from top to bottom.”

James, who fell to 2-4 in the finals, didn’t hide his dejection.

“Doesn’t matter if I’m playing in Miami or playing in Cleveland or playing on Mars,” he said. “You lose in the finals, it’s disappointing.”

After the Warriors were presented with the glittering Larry O’Brien Trophy by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, hundreds of gold-andblue clad Warriors fans inside Quicken Loans Arena serenaded the new champs by singing “War-eee-ers, War-eee-ers” a cry that filled Oracle Arena all season and will greet the team on their return to California.

Golden State allowed the Cavs to creep within eight points in the fourth before unleashing a flurry of threes to ensure there would be no Game 7. Curry’s step-back made it 78-68, and after the Cavs closed within seven on J.R. Smith’s trey, Iguodala, Curry and Klay Thompson each drained one in a span of 81 seconds to make it 89-75.

Iguodala, who had the added duty of guarding James, knocked down another long shot for good measure before he strutted back on defense holding out three fingers on each hand.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B on the play. Tyler placed the ball in the best place, right between the second baseman and first baseman, because the second baseman went with Connor on the break to the bag,” Brisel said.

“Then Duncan came through with a huge hit. It was a shot to right field to drive in the runs.

This was a big win for us.”

US beats Nigeria in World Cup play VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Abby Wambach scored late in the first half and the U.S. women’s national team went on to beat Nigeria 1-0 on Tuesday night for a first-place finish in its group at the Women’s World Cup. It was Wambach’s 14th World Cup goal, pulling her even with Birgit Prinz for second on the all-time list behind Brazil’s Marta, who has 15.

Astrograph

When the moon is full, it’s wild. When the moon all but disappears, it’s humble, restrained and elegant. Yesterday the moon was new, and now, under the Cancer moon, the powers of discipline are with us. The hardest part is deciding where to apply yourself. Saturn in Scorpio will help you to be honest about what you’re willing to give to get.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 17). There’s wonderful kismet for this year’s relationships!

That said, nothing good comes of two people acting on impulse. Someone (you) will have to be the voice of reason.

Is it possible to have a disci-

plined heart? Try and you’ll be richly rewarded. It goes like this: money in July, adventure in August, personal success (after hard work) in November.

Love signs are Taurus and Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 5, 1, 19 and 32.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The challenge of the day is to find a soft place in your heart for someone who is wired differently (oh, so differently) from the way you are. With compassion, you’ll find a way to communicate better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It may seem too overwhelming to come up with a long-term

goal now, let alone visualize it to the detailed degree required for manifestation. Visualize the next move and then the move after that. It will be enough.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some days you feel completely blended into the other seven billion-plus humans on the planet. That’s why when a certain someone tells you you’re really special, it fills something in your heart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Abstract goals lead to abstract results. That’s still beautiful -- though, like abstract art, there will be many people who won’t understand the appeal.

EOE

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you don’t like what you’re doing, it’s hard to be passionate about it, though not impossible. You have to find the aspects you do like. Give it a shot, and you’ll be extremely productive.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Some people think about SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If it weren’t for adventurevery choice, and others bowl PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). ers like you, man never would through life, seeing what kind You don’t have to see a person have set sail across oceans, of points they can score by What’s right won’t be easy, on stage or in action to know aiming forward and letting and what’s easy won’t be right. taken to the sky or dared go.
