Principals, others from NCSD participate in intense training ‘Leadership Blueprint’ a companion to ‘Capturing Kids’ Hearts’

The small group discussed their views on the proposed Dakota Access oil pipeline.

Some Iowans skeptical of eminent domain in Bakken pipeline development

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune The following is part I of an occasional series exploring the major issues facing Iowa landowners and economic stakeholders in Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners’ proposed Dakota Access crude oil pipeline slated to be laid through 18 Iowa counties. The series will explore the debate over eminent domain, environmental concerns and job creation associated with the project.

KELLOGG —At the Side Tracks Tap in Kellogg’s downtown strip June 5, Elaine Mattingly stood next to the bar and discussed strategy. Next to the billiards table while a band set up at the front of the small-town pub for a Friday night set, the Newton resident was providing information about the Dakota Access crude oil pipeline — a proposed project she opposes.

“I’m concerned with several aspects of the proposed pipeline.

I’m concerned that we’re incentivizing dirty fuels; I’m concerned for my Jasper County and Iowa

neighbors whose land has the potential to be forcibly used for this purpose, for private gain and not necessarily for the public good,” Mattingly said.

Through word of mouth, Mattingly helped gather a group of about 10 people to debate potential problems with the pipeline project over bottles of Bud Light and Side Tracks’ pizza. The meeting took place just five miles from a farm field where 30-inch diameter pipe intended for the Dakota Access project is being stockpiled.

The 1,134-mile oil pipeline would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day underground through the state, connecting the North Dakota Bakken crude oil fields with a hub in Patoka, Ill., leading to gulf coast refineries.

Organized by locals, members of Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition and Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement— a nonprofit organization fighting the development of the Dakota Access project — small meetings like the Side Tracks gathering have been popping up all along

the 18 county pipeline route. Another is scheduled from 6-8 p.m.

June 29 at the Newton American Legion Post 111.

The three-member, governor-appointed Iowa Utilities Board has set aside weekdays from Nov. 12 through Dec. 2 for tentative public hearing to decide if the Dakota Access project meets Iowa Code’s public good conditions to grant Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners the authority to use eminent domain to obtain private land for the pipeline’s construction.

Although the final hearing is five to six months away, ETP has yet to secure permission from enough landowners to lock up IUB approval. Records obtained from the Jasper County Auditor’s office show Dakota Access has acquired signed agreements for 63 parcels of land in Jasper County.

The total number of voluntary easements filed for the pipeline varies depending on the organization providing figures. Nathan PIPELINE | 8A

If you want to capture a child’s heart, it would be a good idea to know what’s in your own heart first.

That seemed to be the focus of a two-day education professional development training class held last week in northern Colorado. The Newton Community School District’s board of education recently agreed to spend about $6,000 to send seven NCSD principals and three central office staff to “Leadership Blueprint Training,” which is the leadership component of the “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” training that about 55 Newton teachers are set to attend this week.

The “Blueprint” side is aimed at training teachers and other adults, while this week’s multi-day training, to be held in Newton, will BLUEPRINT | 3A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Community School District Associate Director of Secondary Services Tina Ross discusses the “Leadership Blueprint” training she and nine other district staff attended in Colorado last week.

The training is the leadership component to the “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” professional development class being offered to more than 50 Newton teachers this week.

Sunset Park outdoor gym project moving forward

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Upcoming events and projects were discussed at the Newton Wellness Coalition meeting Wednesday. The outdoor gym the group has been planning received some much needed funding from the city.

“We have about $85,000 for improvements at Sunset Park, so the gym can be played into that,” member Nathan Unsworth said.

Through bonding money set aside for parks this year, the groups will be able to begin to plan what exactly they would like in the park and where it could possibly go. Sunset Park is second on the priority list for the Parks Department after work is completed at Aurora Park, Unsworth said. He hopes to get planning completed for

Aurora then move to Sunset where the coalition will play a big part in the planning of the outdoor gym equipment.

The group previously received a $1,500 grant from Theisen’s that really spurred the project. The equipment is intended to be used by an adult crowd but is still accessible for kids. It is hoped that residents at Park Centre and Newton Village can use the gym along with those receiving physical therapy at Skiff Medical Center. Additional planning is needed in the park for location of the gym and potential trails that could be added for easier access.

The coalition is planning once again to participate in the Fourth of July parade in Newton. Like last year, they plan to hand out bananas PARKS | 3A

By Nancy Schive, RD, LD Outpatient Education Dietitian Skiff Medical Center National Dairy Month is a great way to start the summer with nutrient-rich dairy foods.

With calcium, potassium and vitamin D, dairy products such as milk contain nine essential nutrients which may help better manage weight, reduce risk for Schive high blood pressure, osteoporosis and certain cancers. Whether it’s vitamin A to help maintain healthy skin or protein to help build and repair muscle tissue for active bodies, dairy products are a natural nutrient powerhouse.

So, let’s talk about the protein that dairy foods provide.

Dairy foods such a low-fat and fat-free milk, cheese, yogurt (especially Greek yogurt) and whey powder are convenient and cost-effective ways to “power up” with protein.

An 8-ounce glass of milk, 1-ounce of most types of cheese or an 8-ounce container of yogurt have as much protein as one egg (6 grams). As little as 10 grams of protein may stimulate muscle growth following exercise. Having 8-ounces of fat-free chocolate milk or an 8-ounce carton of low-fat yogurt can help with this muscle growth.

What about whey protein?

Whey protein can help to slow muscle loss as we age. Consuming whey protein as part of a low calorie, healthy eating plan for weight management may help with the loss of more fat and/or maintain more lean muscle.

Whey protein also can help to repair and build muscle tissue after strenuous workouts. Combine a serving of whey protein powder with Greek-style yogurt and top with fresh or dried fruit.

Stir plain whey protein powder into milk used to prepare mashed potatoes or cream soups for additional protein. Or try mixing one serving of whey protein powder into cooked

breakfast cereal such as oatmeal, to create an easy high protein breakfast. If you are lactose-intolerant, whey protein can still fit into your diet.

Most whey protein products contain very little lactose. Read the label carefully just to be sure.

How much protein do we need? Experts are now suggesting approximately 20-30 grams of high quality protein at each meal. Dairy products can play an important role in helping

to achieve these recommended amounts. Check with your doctor or registered dietitian nutritionist before making changes to your diet and/or exercise routine.

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recommend three servings of low-fat or fat-free milk every day. National Dairy Month ( June) should not be the only time we “celebrate” dairy foods.

Wellness: how to sleep better at night Special to the Daily News The National Sleep Foundation notes that adults between the ages of 26 and 64 need an average of seven to nine hours of sleep per night.

Such a sleep schedule may be ideal, but many adults juggling work and family find it difficult to get seven hours of sleep per night, much less eight or nine.

While there may not be

any way for adults to get more sack time at night, there are ways for men and women to get a better night’s rest so they can approach each day with as much energy as possible.

Stick to a schedule — Keeping a sporadic sleeping schedule can make it difficult to get the kind of restorative sleep that can help you maintain adequate energy levels throughout the day. To ensure you get a better night’s sleep,

go to sleep at the same time each night and wake up at the same time each day. Try to stay true to your sleep schedule on weekends.

Nap effectively — Men and women who have the time to sneak in a nap may find that napping is a more effective way to make up for inadequate sleep than sleeping in late in the morning. Effective napping allows men and women to recharge without

affecting their ability to fall asleep at night. Napping in the early afternoon and keeping nap time to between 20 and 30 minutes can provide the energy boost you need and help you make it through the after-dinner hours without feeling drowsy.

Adopt a nighttime ritual — The NSF notes that a relaxing nighttime ritual that is noticeably different from the hustle and bustle of the rest of

your day can help your body adjust for sleep, increasing the chance that you will get a more restful night’s sleep.

Relaxing ways to unwind before climbing into to bed to fall asleep including reading a book, listening to calming music or taking a warm bath.

Find time to exercise — Studies have shown that men and women who exercise regularly benefit from more restful nights’ sleep.

Local & State News Blueprint Continued from Page 1A focus on direct teacher-student interaction.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan and Associate Director of Secondary Services Tina Ross both attended the “Blueprint” training, and each told the board several positive things about the experience at Monday’s regular meeting. Both described the training as intense, self-revealing, and one that them talking to each other about better methods right after the event.

Ross said the two-day class helped educators learn things about themselves that weren’t necessarily comfortable or convenient truths.

“On that last day, when our leadership profiles were read, you could hear a pin drop,” Ross said. “Everyone was just so in-depth; they were

so into it.”

Callaghan described six major components to the training: • Discuss social anxiety theory.

• Developing a social contract for large group meetings.

• Developing a “360 leadership profile.”

• Developing an “attraction plan.”

• Understanding the Harvard Business Review’s “service-profit chain.”

• Understanding the EXCEL model — engage, explore, communicate, empower and launch.

Callaghan said there was a great deal of focus on what constrains each individual as an educator. He said the attraction plan is meant to help overcome those constraints.

“It was a very eye-opening experience,” he said.

At one point during Monday’s discussion, having written the EXCEL points on a dry-erase board earlier,

Ross returned to the board to add the word “clarity” after the communication referenced by the letter “C” in the acronym. The group learned a great deal in the class about what clear communication really means in a school setting.

Ross said the training followed the Newton staff members backed to Iowa directly.

“You just kept talking about how to become a better leader,” she said.

The “Capturing Kids Hearts” training — also provided by the Texas-based Flippen Group —was approved by the board at its April 13 meeting. The cost is $24,500 for the first 50 teachers and $500 per employee for every teacher over the total of 50, to a maximum of 60. A total of 55 teachers would cost the district $26,000.

Callaghan said Berg Middle School Principal-to-be Lisa Sharp, who attended the training, told him

Parks donated by Hy-Vee to the crowd along with small packages of almonds to bring a healthier option.

“Last year, when we gave the bananas out, I gave the almonds to the adults and they liked that,” member Jenny Thompson said.

The group discussed ways to make sure they did not run out of bananas and how to keep moving along at a steady pace. The group agreed using one case per block and sticking to that amount would help the process.

The Newton Talks events the group is doing this summer was discussed, including ways to improve the process. Widely agreed to be very interesting and educational, the group found it was hard to get sizable numbers to the events.

For the second talk, those speaking also presented at a senior event held at the YMCA. While speaking the crowds grew with good number of people sitting down to listen to the stories of wellness. The coalition thought it might be good to continue that idea and attend already scheduled, well-attended events to get people’s stories out to a wider audience.

Two talks remain in the series one scheduled for Thursday evening and the final talk is planned for July 18.

it was one of the two best professional development projects she’d ever experienced. One of the ways the “E — engage” component will be seen in Newton Schools is to engage every adult before every meeting, and every student upon entering a classroom for the day.

Monday’s meeting concluded with a closed session to complete Callaghan’s summative evaluation, which began in a closed session at the end of the board’s June 8 meeting.

“Everything was practiced; everything was role-played,” Callaghan said. “The most empowering part for us was learning about the leadership styles that we all have. All 10 people were all-in.”

The board’s next regular meeting is July 13 at Emerson Hough.

A day with the ballpark fryers is heaven

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | June 25, 2015

When I go to the softball field, I’m the designated fryer. At the concession stand, I keep the parents, players and patrons fed with their little league pizza pockets, tenderloins and french fries. I love hearing the crackle of the fryer oil nearly meld with the crack of a bat from the fields outside the concession stand and the sudden accompanying roar of the crowd as one of their young stars gets a base hit. It really is the quintessential American Saturday.

Last summer I volunteered at the North Des Moines Softball Complex. My girlfriend played on those diamonds throughout her childhood and last year decided to give back by coaching a group

of 7-, 8- and 9-year-olds. She loves teaching the girls fundamentals. Hitting the “Peonies” grounders, pop-flies and deadballs gives her an appreciation for those who taught her to play the game. At 23 years old, coaching has helped her with patience and bolstered her sense of purpose in a world increasingly defined by what one possesses versus what one gives.

I started by just going to her games, but by season’s end, I found myself with a glove and ball right beside her. It’s hard to sit and observe when someone you care about is giving so much. Volunteerism is contagious.

There are plenty of organizations that survive on the

help and generosity of others, and in many cases, donating one’s time is just as beneficial as writing a check. Shelters, schools and food pantries are always in need of volunteers to plan and execute activities.

Perhaps the local Habitat for Humanity could use an extra worker to pound nails for a day, or Big Brothers Big Sisters needs another quality mentor.

But volunteerism doesn’t have to be sanctioned by an organization. It can be as simple as knocking on a neighbor’s door and asking if they could use a hand with those pesky weeds plaguing their garden or making sure a homeless person finds a meal one evening. It could

be as easy as asking the elderly lady at the fuel pump next to you if she could use a hand with the nozzle or helping someone who is disabled hang a Christmas light display to join the neighborhood celebration.

If you’re able, I highly recommend looking for ways to give back. Even in our small little corner of Iowa, there are people in our communities who could use a helping hand. Knock on your neighbor’s door, walk down to the public library or go to the ball game and hear your own crack of the bat.

Letters to the Editor

NCEA appreciates community support Barbara Hackworth Newton

Now that the 2014-2015 school year has ended, the members of the Newton Community Education Association (NCEA) would like to express our deep appreciation to the parents, students and community members for helping make this school year a successful one. As professional educators, we take special pride in having the opportunity to work with all of you in helping students in the Newton Community School District succeed.

With many of our members also being parents, we recognize

the time and dedication shown by so many families to make each school event, activity and school day successful. It is truly a collaborative effort.

We also recognize the debate in the Legislature this spring over funding for our schools has been particularly contentious. It has been long and frustrating.

Your overwhelming support of our profession and what we do on behalf of students in the Newton schools has been very much appreciated. We know reasonable people can disagree, but when it comes to protecting our children, giving them the best we can, and offering them a world class education, we cannot back down.

Recently the NCEA negotiated our annual contract with the

school district, and tough decisions regarding the budget had to be made. It helps immensely that our community is so supportive of our profession and how hard we work on behalf of our kids.

Thank you for showing your support in so many ways.

Summer is a busy time for our members. Between taking classes, summer school and preparing for the next school year, the coming weeks pass quickly. But before we look too far ahead, we wanted to make sure our community knows how much we notice your support and efforts in our schools.

Thanks you for your role in making this past school year another success. We look forward to working alongside you again in the fall!

Snake oil won’t cure inequality At last, America’s political leaders now feel the pain of the poor and empathize with the millions of working families slipping out of the middle class.

For years, politicians paid no attention to the ever-widening chasm between the rich and the rest of us. But it has recentHightower ly emerged as a central issue for such Republican presidential contenders as Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio. They’re publicly lamenting the wealth gap and — by golly — proposing solutions.

Alas, though, the “solution” they’re proposing isn’t to help the downfallen. It’s to shill for the same corporate elites who’ve been knocking down the middle class and holding down the poor.

Specifically, their solution is to cut taxes on corporations and the rich, do away with environmental and labor protections, and cut or privatize government programs — from Head Start to Social Security — that ordinary people count on.

For example, Rubio , even though the need for it is greater than ever, and redirect that money into what he calls a subsidy for low-wage workers. That’s not a subsidy for workers. It’s a handout to low-wage employers.

Why should taxpayers subsidize

the poverty pay of profitable giants like McDonald’s, rather than making them pay living wages?

I guess we should count it as progress that candidates are at least admitting that inequality is a problem. But come on — offering the same old failed, anti-government snake oil is an insult to the American people.

Jeb Bush shows how vacuous their flim-flammery is. To address the ever-widening wealth and income gap, he says that he’ll “celebrate success” and “cherish free enterprise.”

Gosh, what a comfort that’ll be to America’s hard-hit majority.

Mike Clark, of Kalona, a retired Washington County deputy sheriff, was riding his motorcycle o n e afternoon, when h e passed through M t .

P l e a s - By Curt Swarm a n t . Guest Columnist There are a lot of old stately homes in Mt. Pleasant that Mike was admiring. But then he saw a behemoth, old, twoand-a-half story Victorian home, on the edge of Mt. Pleasant’s downtown, that was sorely in need of some TLC. And it was for sale! The house seemed to say, “Make me yours, Mike.

Fix me up.”

He talked it over with his better half, Mary, and, to make a long story short, it is now theirs — to renovate and live in. Mike and Mary are obviously experienced at major reconstruction to take on such a project. Right? Nope. This is their first renovation.

In Mike’s words, “It’s like jumping off into the Grand Canyon.”

Built in 1898, by Joseph Green for his sister, Alice, and himself, it was designed by the famous architect George Barber. The one-time showpiece of Mt. Pleasant has seen many changes. It has been a residence, a fraternity house, a sorority, a TTT meeting place, and an apartment building.

Of course, there have been many changes to the home over the years. Mike and Mary are in possession of the original floor plans, and their intention is to return it to its original state. Walls have to come down, windows replaced, and even a brick chimney removed.

They are having the double-hung, weighted windows rebuilt, transoms replaced, and the gingerbread and porch posts replicated. Mike refers to himself as a “picky petunia.”

In 1927 there was a fire upstairs, and there has been major water damage to the house.

Because the absentee owner forgot to pay the utility bill, the electricity was shut off, and pipes froze and burst.

There was a frozen waterfall down one side of the house and major water damage inside. Mike and Mary, to date, have hauled out two tons of plaster in five gallon buckets. They have stripped out all the old wiring and plumbing, and are working with no electricity or water. But Mike and Mary plan on moving into the house this fall, with complete renovation completed in two to four years.

It’s a 4,000 square foot home, with 15 rooms and, according to Mike, “is not a flipper.”

Mike is working at the Walmart Distribution Center in Mt. Pleasant on the weekends, and working on the house during the week. Between the lifting at work, and the lifting with the renovation, his 54-year-old body feels the stress. Mike buys the large, economy size of ibuprofen. He’s looking forward to the time that Mary and he can live in the house and eliminate their 45-minute commute to and from Kalona.

Is the house haunted? Mike and Mary don’t really believe in ghosts, but when Mary enters the house to start work, she says, “Hello house! Good morning Alice and Joe!” Mike and Mary may hear an occasional door slam, or notice something that’s been moved. They have also noticed a few orbs in photographs they have taken of the house.

Grants available to rural fire departments Newton Daily News AMES – Grant money is available to Iowa’s rural fire departments for equipment to help battle wildfires.

The Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant offers funding assistance for wildfire suppression equipment, slide-in units, hoses, nozzles, adapters, portable tanks and pumps, personal protective equipment and communication equipment.

Additionally, if a fire department has a spe-

cial need that can be tied directly to wildfire suppression, this grant allows for such special requests.

The grant program, administered by the Iowa DNR Forestry Bureau, in coordination with the US Forest Service provides 50 percent reimbursement for wildfire equipment with a maximum reimbursement grant of $3,500 per department.

“Fire departments should have received direct mailings this month that contain

information about the grants,” says Gail Kantak, DNR state wildland fire supervisor.

Kantak also reminds fire departments that they should send a Wildland Fire Report whenever they respond to a wildfire or provide assistance to a prescribed or controlled wildland fire. Departments actively returning these reports can receive priority points in the grant application scoring process.

“It is important rural fire departments

return these reports so we can assess the actual demands on our rural fire departments as a result of wildfire activity,” says Kantak.

Wildland fire reports are compiled locally and nationally, and reported to Congress.

Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant applications are due Oct. 15.

The Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant application package and the Wildland Fire Report form are also available at www.iowadnr.gov/fire.

Burden of supporting family keeps teen under mom’s roof DEAR ABBY: I’m almost 20. I have a well-paying job and live with my mother in a small town. My issue is I don’t know how to break away from her.

My older siblings still live here, too.

They don’t help pay rent, utilities, groceries or anything. Mom and I pay for everything in a house of six people. My boyfriend and I have discussed living together, but I don’t know how I will ever be able to leave. No one else helps Mom, and I don’t want her to lose the house.

I know the solution is “everyone will have to pay their way.” But they don’t, and Mom won’t enforce it. I want to help her because she’s my mother, but I have my own life and I can’t stay here forever.

How should I approach this with her? I don’t want there to be bad feelings. I don’t know if I’m selfish wanting to move in with my boyfriend, but I want a life of my own. — STUCK IN THE WEST DEAR STUCK: If your mother can’t keep her house on her own, there are serious problems ahead for her. If she doesn’t have the income to afford it, she may have to find a job or sell it.

It should not be your responsibility to support the family. Your siblings aren’t contributing to the household because your mother has been enabling them to avoid it. Have a private conversation with her. Tell her you plan to move out, so you are giving her plenty of notice and a departure date.

I caution you, however, against moving in with your boyfriend if it’s because of a desire to escape this unfair situation. It would be better for you to be economically independent and have experienced living on your own before moving in with anyone. That way, you will be less vulnerable should the romance not work out as envisioned, because not all of them do.

DEAR ABBY: One of my friends who I work with is getting married this summer. She recently asked me for my address and, since we also went to school together, asked me to give her a few other friends’ addresses as well. So imagine my surprise when my friends all received invitations to her wedding in the mail and I did not.

I think it’s possible that my invitation legitimately was lost in the mail or it may have been an honest oversight.

However, I realize it’s also possible that she wants to keep her wedding small and decided against inviting me.

How do I politely ask if I’m invited to her wedding? I’ve tried bringing up the subject in conversation at work, but I’m afraid it would be rude to directly ask if I’m still invited. I consider her a good friend and get along great with her fiance, so I’m thinking it was an honest mistake. — TIRED OF BEING “MINNESOTA NICE” DEAR TIRED: I don’t think that being direct would be rude. Because you consider her a good friend, ask whether your wedding invitation could have been lost in the mail because it’s possible it may have been. If she responds that you are not invited, you’ll not only know where you stand, but also that SHE is NOT “Minnesota Nice.”

4 Iowa City man gets 50 years

1 Two injured after eastern Iowa construction site collapse

EVANSDALE — Two construction workers were hospitalized after a building site collapsed in eastern Iowa. Evansdale emergency officials say the two were being treated for non-life threatening injuries after the collapse at a planned Kwik Star convenience store on Wednesday afternoon. Authorities are investigating the cause. Crews with Evansdale’s fire department removed one man from the debris on a stretcher, and a second man who was later loaded into another ambulance.

2 Iowa farm equipment maker Kinze lays off 215 workers

WILLIAMSBURG — Iowa farm equipment maker Kinze Manufacturing says it must lay off 215 workers as business has slowed because of the impact of low grain prices on farmer purchases. The privately held company, based in the eastern Iowa near Williamsburg, makes planters and grain carts. The company released a statement that says it had implemented a 30-hour work week earlier this year.

IOWA CITY — An Iowa City man has received a 50-year prison sentence for beating a 20-month-old boy to death in 2012.

Jorge Perez, 23, accepted a plea agreement Wednesday afternoon.

Perez was charged in the death of Marcus Balderas, the 20-month-old son of Perez’s then-girlfriend, Mireya Balderas. He entered an Alford plea in May, in which doesn’t admit guilt but acknowledges that prosecutors have enough evidence to win a conviction.

MERRILL— A final mass is planned Sunday for the Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, which has been in the small northwestern Iowa community of Merrill for more than 120 years.

A smaller membership at the parish and shrinking number of priests had led to the forthcoming closure. Bishop R. Walker Nickless will preside over the closing mass. Agnes LaBahn said she joined the church in 1947 and said she raised her six children in the church.

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

CLIVE (AP) — An apartment complex in Central Iowa has been evacuated as water from Walnut Creek rose above the flood stage.

According to Clive police chief Michael Venema, eight apartments at a complex in Clive were evacuated early Thursday morning before water rose above the stage level. Venema said the building is now surrounded by water. Residents were taken to the city’s public safety building for shelter.

No injuries were reported.

Several streets in Clive have been closed because of the rising water.

Central Iowa saw strong storms pass through Wednesday night, triggering flash flood watches and warnings.

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for Boone, Dallas, Guthrie, Madison, Marion, Polk and Warren counties.

ISU department: Landowner should know their rights

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News

Mike Mendenhall/Jasper County Tribune A procurement company hired by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners has been transporting 30-inch diameter pipe since midApril to a staging area in a farm field north of Highway 6 East on East 76th Street North, three miles east of Newton. If the project is approved by the Iowa Utilities Board, ETP will purchase the pipe from the third party for the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

Pipeline Continued from Page 1A Malachowski of Iowa CCI said his organization has been contacting county auditors offices across the 18-county pipeline route to compile a list of affected landowners. Iowa CCI estimates that 15 to 20 percent of Iowa landowners contacted by Dakota Access have signed easements.

Dakota Access spokeswoman Vicki Anderson Granado said June 9 the company has collected voluntary easements from nearly 60 percent of tracts along the pipeline route.

Easements and interactions Keith Puntenney is one of the roughly 1,200 affected land owners and is fighting the pipeline’s development. He has managed his family’s farmland in Boone and Webster counties since 1974. Puntenney argues the pipeline serves no public purpose to the state of Iowa and does not meet IUB’s conditions. The landowner is also a licensed IRS estate and gift tax attorney, retired after 32 years in practice.

Dakota Access, LLC contacted Puntenney in December 2014, shortly after ETP’s public informational meeting in Boone. The pipeline’s tentative path requires the use of 2.54 acres of farmland. The IUB informed the attorney he had 30 days to file a land use plan with ETP, if he had future intentions with his property that would be disturbed by the placement of an underground oil pipeline.

Puntenney filed his land use plan with the ETP on Jan. 13, detailing his intent to allow MidAmerican Energy to use his site to expand a newly constructed 110 unit wind farm just north of his property. Aside from his environmental concerns, Puntenney said he would receive $8,000-$9,000 per year from MidAmerican for the use of his land instead of the one-time payment offered by ETP. His land use plan provided the pipeline company with dimensions of the wind turbines, including a required 60-foot diameter base with over 500 yards of concrete that would go 15 feet below ground level.

The plan also went into depth of a new pattern tile system which he planned to install this year in preparation for the wind turbines. In his letter, Puntenney wrote “nothing in this tile pattern anticipates a pipeline project crossing this property.”

He said Dakota Access still pursued the property and a land agent made contact requesting access to survey the land.

Landowner options But for landowners who do not have Puntenney’s legal background, there are places to find advice. Kristine Tidgren is a staff attorney for the Iowa State University’s Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation.

Her department will not encourage a landowner to favor or reject voluntary easements from Dakota Access’s, but will offer information before the landowner enters into negotiations with private companies.

She said the main issue seen by CALT staff is a lack of procedural understanding with the voluntary easements.

“It can seem a little overwhelming.

Sometimes people feel almost they need to sign, or they’re going to really miss out on something,” Tidgren said.

“We urge them to take a step back and take the time they need to consult a private attorney, to go through the

contract proposal and to think about all the implications in signing it.”

Tidgren urges all landowners who contact the center not to “succumb to the pressure to sign” the easements without properly examining the contract.

“Just to be aware, when the contract is drafted it’s drafted by the pipeline company’s attorney, so, of course, they’re going to draft it in the best way possible for the client,” she said. “We try to encourage the landowner to put themselves in an equal bargaining position by having an attorney of their own review it.”

In the easement sent by Dakota Access to Puntenney March 11, 2015 he was offered a one-time $21,259.19 payment for the use of 2.54 acres of farmland. Broken down, payment for the permanent easement and temporary work space amounted to $16,228.99 and $5,029 for crop damages projected during the pipeline’s construction. This is estimating the land would produce 165 bushels of corn per acre. As Dakota Access detailed in the 2014 public, the crop damage compensation is offered on an annual sliding scale based on the easement’s production capability as determined by Dakota Access — 100 percent reimbursement the first year, 80 percent the second and 60 percent the third year.

Land owners who have signed easements are also allowed seven days to reconsider and cancel the agreement

by Iowa law. This form was included in the contract sent to Puntenney.

Another concern for many landowners and environmentalists is what happens to the pipeline after it’s not longer in production. In November, Dakota Access representative told Jasper County landowners they anticipated the Bakken oil fields to be in production for decades. But many farms — like Puntenney’s — are century farms and will stay in families, and in production, for generations.

Iowa Code 479B.32 (4) gives landowners the right to require the pipeline company to remove the unused pipeline after its been inactive for five years. But easement contracts examined by CALT has found this option omitted by ETP. “As long as the landowner does not bargain that away unknowingly — if the easement were to revert back to the landowner — the pipeline company would remain owning the pipe and the landowner could require the pipeline company to come take that out of their land,” Tidgren said.

The law also states the pipeline company would have to pay for any damages associated with the removal of the pipe. Tidgren said her department has not directly seen evidence of easements negotiating away these rights, they simply have not addressed it.

“Those are the types of things to look for. It is possible to bargain those rights away, so you have to make sure that if you sign a contact that you haven’t given up rights the law would give automatically,” she said. “Just to be cautious. I would probably want that removal provided under the law (to be in the contract) to make sure some judge down the road doesn’t interpret that contract to mean that the contractual right has been bargained away.”

Regulatory debate A 14-page letter released June 12

by IUB Engineer Jeffrey O’Neal detailed 90 questions and deficiencies in the design of the proposed pipeline included in Dakota Access’s con-

struction permit petition. The letter states Dakota Access misidentified the Big Sioux Wildlife Management area, failed to account for a newly constructed road and does not clearly delineate the pipeline route.

According to IUB spokesman Don Tormey, the board has granted the use of eminent domain to private companies only seven times since 2000.

These projects were proposed by companies such as MidAmerican Energy, Ames Municipal Electric System, and ITC Midwest, LLC. Two of the projects were pipelines — not for crude oil transport — and the other five instances were for electric transmission lines. The IUB denied one eminent domain request during that time frame for an electric transmission project.

Sen. Rob Hogg (D-Cedar Rapids) was a co-sponsor of a Senate bill attempting to strengthen Iowa’s eminent domain laws. Senate File 506 failed to reach the floor for vote by the full Senate, but it that would have required ETP and other private companies to retrain voluntary easements from 75 percent of affected landowners and increase liability insurance requirements from $250,000 for the entire project to $500,000 per affected county. But he’s still confident the IUB will not approve the use of eminent domain.

Although Iowa Code only requires the $250,000 minimum in liability insurance, Hogg said legislators felt the IUB’s authority to require additional liability coverage beyond the minimum was enough oversight to negate the need for any further legislation. Hogg said ETP would still be responsible for the full financial cost associated with a leak or spill regardless of their initial liability insurance.

But according to at 2013 annual report submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the oil and pipeline company admits it might not have the cash on hand to manage all pending and future environmental liabilities.

“We may incur substantial environmental costs and liabilities because of the underlying risk inherent to our operations. Although we have established financial reserves for our estimated environmental remediation liabilities, additional contamination or conditions may be discovered, resulting in increased remediation costs, liabilities for natural resource damages that could substantially increase our costs for site remediation projects.

Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our current reserves are adequate to cover all future liabilities, even for currently known contamination.”

The subsection found on pages 4445 of the report outlines what ETP sees as “adverse affects” on its ability to transport hazardous liquid material — crude oil — from evolving environmental regulations and pipeline integrity programs by the EPA and U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). In an early passage, the company states: “In addition, states have adopted regulations similar to existing PHMSA regulations for intrastate gathering and transmission lines. At this time, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with applicable pipeline integrity management regulations, as the cost will vary significantly depending on the number and extent of any repairs found to be necessary as a result of the pipeline integrity testing,” the company wrote. “We

As Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners continues to contact Iowa landowners in the 18 counties potentially affected by the construction of the Dakota Access crude oil pipeline, people are guaranteed to have questions.

The Iowa State University Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation provides information to landowners about the voluntary easement process and their rights under the Iowa Code. CALT Staff Attorney Kristine Tidgren hosts a one-hour webinar on the department’s website explaining Iowa’s eminent domain law with a focus on the pending Dakota Access project.

In a June 4 interview with the Jasper County Tribune, Tidgren touched on a few issues she advises Iowa landowners to consider before signing on the dotted line with ETP. • Liability Issues. Property owners could be assuming more liability for their land with new people entering, exiting and working during the construction of the pipeline. Make sure that is addressed in the easement contract.

• Contract meets Iowa Code.

Determine the land restoration standards granted in the contract are as robust as the rights provided under Iowa law. CALT staff urge landowners to make sure they are not signing away ETP’s responsibility to proper reclamation, restoration of soil, damage to structures and other property during the pipeline construction process. Do not grant a larger land easement to a private company than is necessary for the project scope.

• Less predictable damages. Think about other damages that could be incurred during construction. Tidgren said the construction of project like the Dakota Access pipeline could prevent access to farm fields during critical planting and/ or harvesting times. This could cause a loss of income for farmers who have granted easements, and the CALT recommends those damages are stipulated in any contract.

• Think long-term. What will be the value of the property over time? CALT recommends landowners research the value of their land both with and without a crude oil pipeline running underneath.

“When you’re thinking about the money that’s been offered to you … it may sound good on a per-acre basis, but how does having the pipeline on one portion of your property affect the value of the entire parcel?” Tidgren said.

“If you have a 500 acre parcel, and you have the pipeline running through two acres, how does that affect the marketability and value of the larger parcel?”

• Land values vary. Tidgren said finical compensation in the Dakota Access easements appears to be “quite negotiable,” so an average price offered by Dakota Access is hard to pinpoint. It’s based on the parcel’s corn suitability rating (CSR). Get the best price possible and don’t feel the need to take the first offer. will continue our pipeline integrity testing programs to assess and maintain the integrity of our pipelines. The results of these tests could cause us to incur significant and unanticipated capital and operating expenditures for repairs or upgrades deemed necessary to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of our pipelines.”

Generous donations boost big upgrades to Skiff endoscopy suite Newton Daily News The purchase of new, leading-edge equipment and technology has made possible a major update of the Skiff Medical Center endoscopy suite. This suite, a surgical area which provides care to nearly 1,000 patients annually, is where vital, life-saving endoscopy procedures, such as colonoscopies, are completed.

The new Fujinon equipment provides many benefits to the physicians who complete these procedures, including: · Better picture and visualization, allowing physicians to detect abnormalities sooner · New scopes with adjustable stiffness, making it easier to advance into the colon and make possible a more complete exam-

ination · Irrigation through a foot pump delivery system “I’m particularly pleased with the benefits of the foot irrigation option,” said Skiff general surgeon Rachel Knudson. “Previously I would have to flush manually using ahand-operated syringe; now, I can irrigate while still using both of my hands for the scope.”

Another update coming in the near future is state-of-the-art endoscopic software which will create a complete post-procedure report to be utilized by all future providers.

“This will be a great addition,” said Sonja Ranck, Skiff ’s Chief Clinical Officer. “It will produce a seamless document directly after an endoscopic procedure, so that anyone

Iowans Rally for Rural America on RFS Newton Daily News Iowans from all over the state on Thursday flocked to Kansas City, Kan. to Rally for Rural America and urge the Environmental Protection Agency to increase renewable volume targets under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard at a public hearing on the Agency’s recent proposal to dramatically cut the nation’s use of cleaner-burning biofuels.

“The EPA is not responding to an infrastructure shortage for higher ethanol blends with this proposal; the EPA is creating it,” said Iowa Renewable Fuels Association executive director Monte Shaw in his testimony to the EPA. “A strong RFS provides the incentive for retailers to offer higher ethanol blends to their customers. By slashing the RFS, the EPA slashes that incentive.”

This fundamental flaw in EPA’s understanding of the RFS and market dynamics must be addressed and corrected if we are ever to achieve the market competition goals Congress outlined when passing the RFS, Shaw said.

“Iowa epitomizes the success of higher biodiesel blends,” said IRFA Policy Director Grant Menke in his testimony to the EPA. “Since the RFS was expanded in 2010, Iowa’s total biodiesel sales have quadrupled, largely as a result of the average biodiesel blend level skyrocketing from 3.1 percent to 9.4 percent. This remarkable growth in the availability and use of higher biodiesel blends in Iowa is just one of many compelling reasons that EPA can and should increase its proposed biomass-based diesel volumes for 2016 and 2017 to at least 2 billion and 2.3 billion gallons, respectively.”

“Iowa retailers have been successful with E15 and have seen the more environmentally-friendly fuel make up nearly 50 percent of their total fuel sales,” said IRFA Managing Director Lucy Norton in her testimony to the EPA. “The fact that EPA failed to grant a vapor pressure waiver for E15 prevents its sale during the summer, causing E15 sales to plummet during this period. If EPA simply equalized the vapor pressure treatment of E15 and E10, they can make the most successful energy policy to date, the RFS, even more widely successful in achieving its energy security, economic and environmental goals.”

Along with renewable fuels industry representatives, several Iowa fuel retailers also attended the hearing to testify in support of higher renewable fuels volumes under the RFS. “Due to EPA’s flawed RVP policies, E15 has run up against a wall of restrictions that do not fairly allow it to be sold in the same manner as E10,” said Farmers Cooperative Creston Branch Manager Darin Schlapia.

“I believe granting E15 the same one-pound waiver as E10 in the summer would enable E15 to become the new standard fuel sold in the U.S., boosting ethanol demand by 50 percent ... at our stations, ethanol blends of E15 and higher account for 40 percent of our total ethanol blend sales.”

On May 29, the EPA proposed to significantly reduce renewable fuels targets for 2016 under the federal RFS, citing concerns of Big Oil’s fabricated “blend wall”. In an attempt to receive public comment on the issue, EPA is holding a public hearing today at the Jack Reardon Center in Kansas City, Kan. More than 250 individuals signed-up to testify at the hearing, and many more renewable fuels supporters participated in a Rally for Rural America near the hearing location.

Iowa is the nation’s leader in renewable fuels production. Iowa has 43 ethanol refineries capable of producing more than 3.8 billion gallons annually, including 22 million gallons of annual cellulosic ethanol production capacity and one cellulosic ethanol facility currently under construction. In addition, Iowa has 12 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce nearly 315 million gallons annually.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association was formed in 2002 to represent the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry. The trade group fosters the development and growth of the renewable fuels industry in Iowa through education, promotion, legislation and infrastructure development.

This project was made possible through a fundraising campaign which spanned more than two years.Thanks to the generosity of the community, the project was almost fully funded through donations to the Skiff Foundation and Auxiliary. Significant contributions to the campaign include a $50,000 grant from the Fred Maytag Family Foundation, a $20,000 donation from Dr. Dominic and Ashli Formaro and a $10,000 grant from the Jasper Community Foundation. In addition, the funds from three Skiff Galas, totaling almost $129,000, supported

Creating the culture — a community approach to health Newton Daily News Prevention works. Have you ever sat back and thought about the issues that arise in our communities because of the beliefs we hold? The following analogy holds true: Say an accident occurs at the same intersection of your town every month. Drivers are confused by the lack of stop signs and the poorly lit area of the intersection. The intersection has not changed in over 25 years. We, as a community, can do one of two things. We can stand back and say people are bad drivers or we can try to prevent reoccurring accidents. The question is, how do you prevent an accident from occurring? Simply, you create

an environment that minimizes the chance it will happen by making the intersection a four-way stop or by adding street lights.

This is prevention. Prevention is stopping something from happening or arising. This analogy is true when talking about alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs. Every community is impacted by substance use and abuse. In order to decrease the negative consequences of alcohol and other drugs, we need to look at our own beliefs and then create a place that is safe for everyone to live. For example, if our community has high rates of underage drinking we can look at creating a youth center for people to attend. This provides a safe

location for youth to go that is free from the temptations of using substances. We can also look at how and where alcohol is sold.

Working with your local event organizers to discuss the selling and serving of alcohol can prove to be beneficial. Little changes in the ways we think and working together to reach a common goal will lead to healthy and productive communities.

We are here to help. If you would like to schedule a free substance abuse prevention presentation or would like to hear more about the prevention efforts in your local area contact Katie Bee, CPS at 515-471-2327 or via email at kbee@efr.org

Tjaden, Breon land on HOIC 2nd team

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The Nevada girls’ soccer team went 19-2 and finished as the Class 1A state runner-up this past season.

So when it came to earning spots on one of the two the Heart of Iowa Conference teams, the Cubs were well represented.

That made it even harder for teams like Prairie City-Monroe and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter to be represented, but the Mustangs and Raiders each had one all-conference player in 2015.

The Mustangs were represented by McKinzie Tjaden, who made the second team, and the Raiders’ senior goalkeeper Lexi Breon also earned a spot on the second unit.

Tjaden was PCM’s top point scorer with a team-best 11 goals and four assists.

Tjaden, a Colfax-Mingo senior-to-be, tallied 26 points in all and helped the Mustangs (7-11) win four more games in 2015 than they did in 2014.

Breon was one of the busiest goalkeepers in the entire state this past season. She played in 12 games and made 309 saves, which ranked second in the entire state and second in Class 2A. She stopped 86 percent of the shots taken against her but also played on an 0-12 team.

Nevada claimed seven of the 11 first-team spots. Abby Stephenson led the Cubs with 32 goals, while Elli Cassabaum Troy Hyde/ Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior-to-be McKinzie Tjaden, left, earned a spot on the girls’ Heart of Iowa Conference second team for the Prairie City-Monroe soccer team after leading the Mustangs with 11 goals and 26 points this past season.

Stephenson, Sporrer, Michaela Matuska, Kaylee Kruschwitz and Ragan Saunders also were first-team all-state selections.

Joy Smith, a first-team all-HOIC member, was a second-team all-state pick.

Hanna Becker joined Smith as North Polk representatives on the first team, while Gilbert’s Olivia Stearns and Ibby Culek were first-team members for the

Tigers. Stearns scored 25 goals this season.

Nevada, Gilbert and North Polk all finished with a better than a .500 record.

Nevada’s Randy Davis was the Class 1A state coach of the year. The Cubs lost to 3A Ankeny Centennial, 2-1, in the regular season and then lost 2-0 to Sioux City Bishop Heelan in the 1A championship game.

Virginia claims College World Series title OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — It took 60 years, but the Atlantic Coast Conference finally won a baseball national title again.

Virginia completed its improbable run to the championship with a 4-2 victory over defending champ Vanderbilt on Wednesday night, making it the first ACC team since Wake Forest in 1955 to reach the top of college baseball.

It had been a curious drought for the ACC. Only the Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference have sent more teams to the College World Series.

“It’s amazing the text messages I received over the last couple of days from other coaches in our league rooting us on,” Virginia coach Brian O’Connor said. “We’ve never discussed in our program about one league against another or us trying as a league to get over this hump and

winning a national championship.

“There are great programs in our league. There are many, many more that have been here, been in this position and could have very easily done what we did, and there will be many more after us.”

Some things to know about the Cavaliers’ first championship: Surprise Title: Six weeks ago, it looked as though Virginia (44-24) might not even qualify for the 10-team ACC tournament, let alone the NCAA Tournament. The Cavaliers dealt with a spate of injuries, went 18-18 in March and April and didn’t secure a spot in the conference tournament until the last weekend of the regular season. They were a No. 3 regional seed in the NCAA Tournament.

“Not many people thought this could happen,” O’Connor

said. “I couldn’t have forecast it. But we’re darn glad we’re sitting up here with this trophy.”

Virginia’s 44 wins were the fewest by a national champion since the 1968 Southern California squad had 43.

Fantastic Freshmen: Second baseman Ernie Clement came up big in super regionals against Maryland. Adam Haseley, who usually plays center field, was the star of Game 2 of the finals when he pitched five shutout innings in his first start on the mound since May 23.

First baseman Pavin Smith was the next freshman to make a huge contribution, hitting a two-run homer and singling in the go-ahead run on Wednesday night. He also flashed a great glove.

Smith had gone 1 for 8 and struck out four times in the first two games of the finals.

Williams, Djokovic are top seeds in 2015 Wimbledon LONDON (AP) — Twotime champion Rafael Nadal was seeded No. 10 for Wimbledon on Wednesday, his lowest seeding ever at the All England Club.

The seeding means Nadal could face top contenders as early as the fourth round, and one of the top four seeded players in the quarterfinals.

The All England Club stuck mainly to the rankings in its list of seedings for the grass-court Grand Slam, which starts Monday.

Defending champion and topranked Novak Djokovic is seeded No. 1, with five-time winner and top-ranked Serena Williams No. 1 among the women.

Nadal, who won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010, has slipped to 10th in the rankings after injuries and poor results.

The Spaniard lost in the first round of Queen’s Club last week, after winning on grass in Stuttgart the previous week.

Nadal’s previous lowest seeding at Wimbledon was No. 5 in 2013. Other than that, he’s always been among the four, except when he was unseeded in his first appearance at Wimbledon in 2003.

Until 2002, the All England Club had its own seeding committee and used its discretion to seed players outside the rankings. Since then, it has used a “surface-based system” in agreement with the ATP that reflects grass-court results, and doesn’t veer much from the rankings.

Djokovic is followed in the men’s seedings by seven-time champion Roger Federer, 2013 winner Andy Murray, French Open champion Stan Wawrinka, and Kei Nishikori.

Rounding out the top 10 are Tomas Berdych, Milos Raonic, David Ferrer, Marin Cilic and Nadal.

In a minor change, Raonic and Ferrer switched places, with

the Canadian moving up a spot to the No. 7 seeding and Ferrer dropping one to No. 8.

Despite his drop in form and low seeding, Nadal is still considered among the top group of title contenders, behind Djokovic, Murray and Federer.

There are also dangerous floaters outside the top 10, including No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov, No. 13 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, No. 17 John Isner, No. 18 Gael Monfils, and No. 23 Ivo Karlovic Wimbledon stuck strictly to the WTA rankings for the women’s seedings.

Following Williams in the top 5 are defending champion Petra Kvitova, Simona Halep, Maria Sharapova, and Caroline Wozniacki. The rest of the top 10 are Lucie Safarova, Ana Ivanovic, Ekaterina Makarova, Carla Suarez Navarro, and Angelique Kerber.

The Wimbledon draw will be on Friday.

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B Robert Valencia-Cook led Gilbert and the HOIC in scoring with 12 goals, while Noah Haverdink had six goals and 10 assists.

Both were first-team selections along with teammates Jacob Houston, Mitchell Darash, Andrew Thatcher and Noal Stuckelberg. Nevada’s Jordan Ritter and North Polk’s Carter Hartwig, Alec Bolletta, Ethan Ley and Jonah Claussen joined Lirio on the first team.

Gilbert and North Polk each had five second-teamers, while PCM and Nevada each had one.

North Polk finished 5-14 and Nevada was 3-16.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Ryan Kohlhof earned second-team all-Heart of Iowa Conference honors recently. He tallied one of PCM’s four assists this season.

MIAMI (AP) — Jaime Garcia made a mistake against Giancarlo Stanton, and later took a misstep on his way to scoring.

Otherwise, he and the St. Louis Cardinals rolled again.

Jason Heyward homered for the third consecutive game, Kolten Wong added a two-run shot and the Cardinals topped the Miami Marlins 6-1 on Wednesday night — improving baseball’s best record to 47-24.

“Jaime’s been pitching his butt off for us,” Wong said.

“It’s good to repay him.”

Heyward hit a three-run homer, his ninth of the season, in the seventh to blow the game open.

The Cardinals had just one hit in the first six innings against Miami starter Mat Latos (2-5), that hit being Wong’s ninth home run in the third.

Garcia (3-3) allowed one run — the Stanton homer, his ML-leading 27th — in seven innings for the Cardinals, lowering his ERA to 1.69.

Garcia singled and eventually scored in the eighth, but grimaced and began to limp shortly before crossing the plate.

He came out of the game, but afterward Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said it was merely because of a cramp and didn’t believe there was reason for concern.

“He was terrific,” Matheny said. “Gave up a couple hardhit balls, one to Stanton, but he really limited the damage.”

Stanton had three hits in four at-bats — all leading off innings, something the Marlins absolutely don’t want.

Latos threw seven innings, giving up three hits and two walks — with all five of those runners scoring, and all earned.

Astrograph

The balanced Libra moon helps us get our footing with the recent Mars change. The key is not taking anything personally. It’s liberating.

When you don’t take things personally, you never have to worry about why a person isn’t calling you back or ponder how you should take a strange comment. What others think becomes none of your business.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 25). For the next 10 weeks, you’ll be the savvy social director with all the fine ideas. Tell your crew the plan and have a blast watching it unfold. September highlights

and deepens the special love in your life. November brings new financial demands, and you’ll find creative ways to meet them. Want to move?

Wait for the new year. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 34, 2, 15, 48 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

There’s low-hanging fruit in front of you, and you’re hungry. The question: Is this a trick? Sometimes life really is a no-brainer. Help yourself, and you’ll be nothing but satisfied.

For now, try to enjoy the gigantic question mark.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The only thing worse than investing 10 hours (or weeks or years) in something that turns out to be unfulfilling and unproductive is investing 11.

Don’t be too stubborn to stop.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is more than one personality inside each person, which is why grown adults sometimes act like 2-yearolds. You will be patient and kind, tolerating a loved one’s childishness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The new game is not about getting ahead and staying ahead -- that was the old game. The new game is finding intrigue, joy and satisfaction in the process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Crossed lines are a danger.

To avoid wasted time looking for or waiting for your loved ones, make sure you’ve understood what they said.

Tonight, people are looking for a leader, and you have the vision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Honesty has its own resonance. The world responds kindly to your lack of pretense. The people you encounter will feel free to open up to

you whether they’ve known you for years or minutes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When you consider some of your past perils, you realize that things turned out much better than they might have.

This trend will continue, so go ahead and take a chance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Stifling circumstances can be overcome. This is a mind-over-matter situation.

Develop your imagination. A vision can be like an invisible key. The immaterial will unlock the material.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Explore your own code.

Study your response to life.

You’re not a robot, but you

can program yourself to some degree once you understand your operating system.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maybe you wish you’d made a different choice. Even honorable and decent humans don’t always take the best action. You’ll have the chance for a do-over. Seize it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Solo efforts meet with universal resistance, but no worries -- there will be someone to assist you in getting things done. You only have to reach out and ask.
