Military dog program well attended at theater

Newton celebrates Independence Day with parade, fireworks

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With perfect weather and a full slate of activities, those who came to Newton to enjoy the Fourth of July were not disappointed. Activities included a parade, vendors and entertainment downtown, bounce houses and the 34th Army Band at Agnes Patterson Park and wrapped up with a fireworks display.

The day kicked off with two breakfasts to choose from, with the Masons holding a pancake breakfast and the Kiwanis selling breakfast pizza. Well before the parade was set to begin at 9:30 a.m., the streets were packed with people ready to take in the holiday tradition.

Leading off the parade were the officers from the Newton Police Department, Jasper County

Sheriff ’s Office and Iowa State Patrol. Grand Marshal Don Hummel was not far behind, riding in style in a convertible with his wife, Betty at his side.

The citywide PTA took first prize in the float contest with Jasper County Vietnam Veterans in second and Piecemakers Quilt Guild coming in third. Decorated floats, tractors and vehicles made up the nearly two hour long event that saw bubbles, water, bananas and of course candy being handed out to eager observers.

At the conclusion of the parade, food vendors, kids activities, inflatables and entertainment were waiting around the square. MAT Tumbling performed along the north side of square and Plume Hill Carriage provided rides on two of their carriages.

Evening activities at Agnes Patterson Park included inflatables, food vendors and a special performance by the 34th Army Band. Comprised of Iowa National Guard members, the band travels the state as ambassadors of goodwill as they perform and entertain in several assembles.

“We’ve enjoyed being here and it is great to be here on the Fourth celebrating,” CW2 Kent Wesselink said.

The band played traditional military songs, Disney favorites including songs from “Frozen” and current hits that can be heard on the radio. They even had several members step up and sing a few numbers.

“Everyone is very pleased with how the events went on Saturday.

We had a great turnout for the FOURTH | 3A

Those who came out Friday evening to view the film “Max” at Capitol II Theatre got a special treat.

Representatives of the “Dogs That Do Incredible Service” program were on hand with two service dogs in training to meet attendees, and to discuss the Puppy Jake Foundation, an organization whose mission is to train dogs to assist veterans.

“Puppy Jake Foundation is based out of Des Moines. We’re a nonprofit that is dedicated to raising, training and then placing service dogs with military veterans,” said Puppy Jake Foundation Represen-

tative Renee Jetter.

Two dogs, Harold and Herman, came to the theater to continue their work to become service dogs and show an example of what a service dog is.

The trainers spoke, answered questions about how to interact with the dogs and discussed the various stages of training.

Newton native and member of the National Guard, Captain Chad Wallway also shared about his experience working with military dogs and a history of dogs in the military.

“The first reported times that dogs were used in military operations was the mid-7th MAX | 3A

Salvation Army O’Malley provides detailed celebrating 125 solutions at Uncle Nancy’s years of service Former

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

The Salvation Army of Newton will be celebrating 125 years of serving the Newton area with an open house, tour and free lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at its location, 301 N. Second Ave. E. As part of Jasper County since 1890, the community is invited to learn about the Salvation Army by talking to those who are a part of the organization, along with a little hands-on learning.

“We anticipate having stations set up where individuals can participate in seeing how quickly they can pack a food box, lifting the weight of the items

that are distributed typically daily, and some other kind of interactive things for folks, so it’s not just hearing information — it is participating,” Major Mikey Carter said.

Hot dogs, chips, cupcakes and lemonade will be served during the open house. The Salvation Army Thrift Store will also be having special sales from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday.

“It is just an opportunity to thank our donors and our volunteers and our participants,” Carter said.

The Salvation Army came to the community of Newton just 25 years after the start of the first program in SALVATION | 3A

Iowa receives federal grant for reemployment services, eligibility assessments

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News A wide variety of items are available at Talking Crow Auctions, a new auction house located in the Longeshott Ventures building, 114 E. Second St. S., a couple of blocks from downtown Newton.

Talking Crows Auctions open for business

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A new auction house is open in Newton, and it’s only a couple of blocks from downtown.

Talking Crow Auctions is open at 114 E. Second St. S. and is a separate entity from Longeshott Ventures, which also occupies the building.

“I worked here part time and I have a booth here. I came in one day and (the owner) said ‘I’m giving you the auction room,’” owner Debbie Knapp said.

Knapp along with several associates have been working for the past three weeks to get the room ready for their first auction, which was held Thursday. The room is located toward the back of the building and is full of a variety of items to pique anyone’s interest.

“The main things we are trying to get in here are antiques and vintage items,” associate Shirley Treanor said. “We go to different tag sales and have consignors that come in.”

With something for everyone, items include art, baskets, kitchen items, cabin decorations, comic books, tools, political buttons, home decor, jewelry, stamps, tins

and much more. There is also a large Native American-themed collection and vintage fishing lures that highlight what will be seen during the auctions.

The items in the auction come from a variety of places, including tag sales, other sales and consignors that already have booths in the building. Knapp is open to taking items from those interested in selling in the auction but would like to take a look at them first. If accepted, the items will be placed in the auction and a 25 percent commission is taken off the purchase price.

Items can be held on a reserve price, which is the lowest price the item can be sold. If it does not sell for that price it can be entered into the following auction. If it does not sell for the reserve price, it then can either go back to the owner or be sold for the highest bid.

It is free to attend the auctions and items will be available to view two days prior to the sale.

An added bonus at the auctions is a concession stand, which features sandwiches, chips, pop, water and pies and cookies from Simply Homemade by Ellen.

Knapp hopes to have different

items at each auctions, and to use out a popcorn machine she recently purchased.

Knapp said that it is important that the items be purchased so they do not end up in the landfill.

“I would like it to be passed down and passed down. It is history, and if you don’t save it, it will be gone,” Knapp said. “Somebody wants it somewhere.”

One unique thing that occurs while shopping, Treanor said, was the marrying of items. She might find a teapot at one sale, but it does not have any cups.

Then, later, while searching another auctions she might find the matching cups, and she is able to put the set together, making it more likely to sell.

Talking Crow does not have a set schedule but Knapp is researching local activities for the best time to hold one. To find out about the next auction, how to sell at the auction or for any additional information, Knapp can be reached at talkingcrowauction@ gmail.com or on their Facebook page.

DES MOINES — Unemployment Insurance benefits and state workforce agencies are vital to unemployed Americans who rely on both as they work to find new employment.

To support their efforts, the U.S. Department of Labor awarded, on June 29, $80 million to workforce agencies in 44 states and the District of Columbia to provide re-employment and eligibility assessments. Iowa received a grant of $957,875. The funds will also implement the new Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessments program.

The grants will fund services such as in-person assessments at American Job Centers. These assessments of eligible claimants include the following: development of an individual re-employment plan; access to labor market information specific to the individual’s location, job skills and employment prospects; a complete review of the claimant’s eligibility for UI benefits; and referrals to re-employment services or training at American Job Center.

The U.S. Department of Labor has awarded grants through this initiative for 11 years. For the first time these grants will be available to fund reemployment services for these beneficiaries.

Job market’s new normal: Smaller workforce, sluggish pay WASHINGTON (AP) — Even after another month of strong hiring in June and a sinking unemployment rate, the U.S. job market just isn’t what it used to be.

Pay is sluggish. Many part-timers can’t find full-time work. And a diminished share of Americans either have a job or are looking for one.

Yet in the face of global and demographic shifts, this may be what a nearly healthy U.S. job market now looks like. An aging population is sending an outsize proportion of Americans into retirement. Many younger adults, bruised by the Great Recession, are postponing work to remain in school to try to become more marketable.

Global competition and the increasing automation of many jobs are holding down pay.

Many economists think these trends will persist for years despite steady job growth. It helps explain why the Federal Reserve is widely expected to start raising interest rates from record lows later this year even though many job measures remain far below their pre-recession peaks.

“The Fed may recognize that this is a new labor-market normal, and it will begin to normalize monetary policy,” said Patrick O’Keefe, an economist at accounting and consulting firm CohnReznick.

Thursday’s monthly jobs report from the government showed that employers added a solid 223,000 jobs in June and that the unemployment rate fell to 5.3 percent from 5.5 percent in May. Even so, the generally improving job market still bears traits that have long been regarded as weaknesses.

World stocks drift lower ahead of Greek vote The Associated Press World stock markets mostly drifted lower Friday ahead of Greece’s weekend referendum, while China’s main stock benchmark plunged as government efforts failed to reassure panicky investors.

Keeping Score European stocks were mixed, with France’s CAC 40 falling 0.6 percent to close at 4,808.22. Germany’s DAX dropped 0.4 percent to 11,058.39. Britain’s FTSE 100 declined 0.7 percent to 6,585.78. U.S. markets were closed in observance of Independence Day. Greece Votes Investors waited for the outcome

of a weekend referendum in Greece on whether to accept more budget cuts in exchange for new bailout loans. The government said a “No” vote will put it in a better bargaining position for new terms, while European officials and the opposition say the rejection could lead to Greece’s exit from the euro. Markets in Asia will get the first chance to react to the result of Sunday’s vote.

China Sell-off A Chinese market rout deepened as investors dumped shares in spite of government measures this week aimed at restoring confidence, such as cutting fees and easing rules on borrowing money for trading. The China Securities Regulatory Commission, the market watchdog, said

late Thursday that it’s launching an investigation into suspected stock market manipulation, state media reported, an indication that the government is trying to halt the market slide.

Analyst Viewpoint “Policies take time to work their way through the system before sentiments can be more permanently altered,” Bernard Aw of IG Markets in Singapore wrote in a commentary. “For now, the mood is verging on panic.”

Asia The Shanghai Composite Index ended down 5.8 percent at 3,686.92.

The index has plunged 29 percent since hitting a peak of 5,166.35 June

12. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 0.8 percent to close at 26,064.11, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 edged up 0.1 percent to 20,539.79. South Korea’s Kospi slipped 0.1 percent to 2,104.41 and Australia’s S&P/ ASX 200 retreated 1.1 percent to 5,538.30.

Energy Benchmark U.S. crude fell $1.41 to $55.52 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell $1.75 to $60.32 a barrel in London.

Currencies The dollar fell to 122.78 yen from 123.09 yen late Thursday. The euro rose to $1.1100 from $1.1083.

The fireworks display started at about 9:30 p.m. and ran for 20 to 25 minutes with a variety of fireworks for the crowd to enjoy. It concluded with a grand finale and round of applause by everyone watching.

“Newton once again proved that it is the place to be on the Fourth of July. It is great to see the community come together for all the great events starting with the parade and ending with the fireworks,” Unsworth said.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack spoke and took questions at American Legion Post 111 in Newton on Friday. The small gathering included several local leaders concerned with various aspects of veterans affairs. Loebsack said it’s one of his priorities to help raise the level of care for veterans, especially efficiency and accuracy in determining benefits and reducing wait times for appointments and treatments.

Loebsack was also briefed on the benefits of a Home Base Iowa designation.

In his 18-minute talk to the Newton crowd of approximately 90 people — made while standing on a chair — O’Malley focused on breaking negative government patterns and starting positive trends. He mentioned a couple of Re-

“There’s a big difference between saying what we stand for, and actually accomplishing things,” O’Malley said.

“I’m the only Democratic candidate with 15 years of executive experience. To get things done, you have to bring people together. The more fully all of us are involved in the political, social and economic life of our county, state or our country, the better each of us does.”

Along with the well-known thrift store, The Salvation Army has many other services for the community to utilize. A food pantry is open Monday through Friday from 10 to 11:45 a.m. and 1 to 2 p.m. and is funded by United Way, donations and thrift store profits.

“Whenever a country reaches this point in her history, there are only two paths forward,” he said. “One of them is a sensible balance based on a common good that we share, and the other is pitchforks, or rocks or stones — in the hands of angry, unemployed men and women who feel like they’re worth less than they were 10 years ago.

He’d like to see college students debt-free within eight years.

“Oftentimes, when a bureaucracy brings up objections about privacy, they’re really just trying to cover their own ineffectiveness in taking responsibility,” O’Malley said.

After addressing questions, O’Malley told the Newton Daily News that public campaign financing is essential to getting big money out of Washington, D.C., as elected officials have been turned into “telemarketers, spending 1820 hours on the phone each week raising mon-

O’Malley said if anyone wants to see where America is headed they can simply talk to young people.

“You won’t find many people under 40 denying climate change,” O’Malley said. “You won’t find many who bash immigrants and you won’t find many young people — Democrats, Republicans or independents — who want to discriminate against gay couples.

Our country is moving toward more connectedness.”

Sheltered with compassion

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | July 6, 2015

Before my mom became a nurse, she worked at Principal Financial and would often drop me off at my aunt Marci’s in Des Moines.

I loved going to Marci’s. She was my best friend as a youngster and many in my family recall I was “Marci’s girl.” I was incredibly lucky to have such an established, smart and loving aunt help raise me. I can’t think of a place I enjoyed visiting more, besides my grandparents’ of course.

Since my dad had recently passed away, I’m sure my mom loved and appreciated Marci, too. Marci was my dad’s sister, and it wasn’t until I was older I realized how much I appreciated my connection with her, his other two siblings and my grandparents in his absence.

Like my mom, she shared his stories with me often, which

helped keep him alive in memory.

Marci instilled in me a love of cooking, the value of getting your work done, and best of all, she let me stay up late on occasion to watch movies. She took me to baseball games, new restaurants and shopping. She was also a natural at balancing discipline and fun, a hard art to master.

Marci had a roommate, Terri, and a couple dogs and cats who she spoiled with toys and canned cat food. Their back yard was large, shaded and had beautiful landscaping. The side of their house was decorated with plants and those small shiny plastic windmills which gives a manicured lawn a bit of character.

One day, when I was older — probably 10 or 11 years old — my cousins kindly informed

me that aunt Marci was gay.

She was a lesbian, and Terri wasn’t just her roommate; she was her partner.

I had no idea. I didn’t know what that meant, and I was completely naive to anything different. But I suppose it made sense. They lived together for as long as I can remember. They enjoyed each other’s company. They kept in contact with each other throughout the day like married people do. It all added up.

But learning the news that my aunt was a lesbian did not change my adoration and respect for her or Terri. Their relationship was as ordinary and routine as any other committed married couple I knew.

I wasn’t aware my aunt was different because I didn’t know any differently. Thank God for my beautifully, loving and ac-

cepting grandparents who led by example. Nobody I knew had any reason to treat her differently.

Why would anyone in the world?

In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling, my heart is glad that caring and kindhearted aunts, and uncles, across the country can feel a legal sense of equality and justification as human beings, as hard working, taxpaying Americans, with the rights that other committed couples receive.

I’m grateful that Marci, Terri and my other family members have helped make me who I am today and for sheltering my adolescence with understanding, tolerance and compassion. I love you Marci. Thank you for being my favorite and for being the best aunt a girl could have been blessed to have in life.

appear to me that a Democratic representative who is in a number of bill signing ceremonies held by a Republican Governor is proving his bi-partisan, working across the aisle claims, and we should be proud.

Curiosity caused me to Google Mr. Ware. He is CEO of Controlled Chaos Arms and Iowa Firearms Coalition. He lists himself as a “small arms weapons builder and designer.” As such, he lobbies for loose gun control laws, including those giving

children the right to bear arms.

Could the anger he unleashes in the direction of Rep. Kelley have anything to do with the fact that Rep. Kelley is a staunch opponent of guns in the hands of 5 year olds? So am I, and I applaud Rep. Kelley’s opposition.

If this is in fact Mr. Ware’s agenda, I would ask him to be honest about the issue rather than attack Rep. Kelley for getting his picture in the paper more times than Mr. Ware would prefer.

Hollywood needs heroes and villains, and over time those roles changed. It was once cowboys vs. Indians, then Americans soldiers vs. Nazis and “Japs,” then Russians, then Arabs, then ...

Well, now Hollywood is more careful about whom it calls a villain.

But one group is always eligible — businessmen.

In movies and on TV, evil corporations routinely dispatch heartless goons to rough up whistleblowers, political activists and average citizens. The new anarchist drama series “Mr. Robot” on USA Network even features a company called “Evil Corp.”

Don’t Hollywood writers realize that abusing customers would be a bad business model? No. They refuse to see that it rarely happens, and when it does it’s unsustainable.

In the real world, instead of killing customers or scheming to keep them poor, companies profit by trying really hard to give us what we want, and they prefer that we stay healthy, if only so that we keep buying their stuff and to limit their insurance liability.

I say, entrepreneurs and scientists are the world’s real heroes. They

save and extend lives.

The website ScienceHeroes.com estimates how many lives scientists save. Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, whose synthetic fertilizers made food easier to grow, are credited with saving 2.7 billion lives. Blood researchers Karl Landsteiner and Richard Lewisohn saved more than a billion by making blood transfusions possible.

Others in the site’s top 10 include the creators of water chlorination and vaccines, as well as Norman Borlaug, an Iowan, credited with saving at least a quarter-billion lives for creating more abundant wheat strains and sparking the socalled “Green Revolution.”

Then there are the creators of CPR, AIDS drugs, bypass surgery, pacemakers, dialysis and more, each with millions of lives to their credit.

Weirdly, few monuments honor these life-saving scientists.

Instead, politicians celebrate politicians. We get the William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building, George Bush High School and Florida’s President Barack Obama Parkway.

But how many lives did those politicians save?

Any? Mostly, they presided over a bureaucracy that imposed taxes and regulations that make it harder to innovate and save lives. What’s heroic about that?

In the movies, anti-business activists like Erin Brockovich are depicted as lifesavers.

Brockovich, a hustler for personal injury lawyers, used her ample charm and cleavage to recruit clients who sued Pacific Gas and Electric, claiming the power company gave them cancer.

That was highly unlikely, given that the accused chemical, hexavalent chromium, causes cancer only at much higher doses. PG&E workers, despite being exposed to much more of it, live longer than average.

But Brockovich still got PG&E to pay out over $300 million, of which she got $2 million.

That makes her a hero?

MAT tumblers take first place at state Newton Daily News MAT Tumbling/ Trampoline took first place in all three during the USTA Iowa State Championships held at Marshalltown Community College on April 18-19.

MAT took 72 athletes to state and is once again the Top Overall Team in Iowa. MAT continues with its winning ways brining home 30 state champions and 18 runner-ups. MAT also was able to secure 12 out of 17 overall high point awards.

The MAT gym hosted the state championship in both the Babe Harder Gym and the newer Student Activity Center. Both gyms were full as more than 4,000 athletes and their families attended the twoday event.

Saturday saw athletes compete in trampoline and double mini trampoline events. All Power Tumbling events were held Sunday.

“This was a young team that believed in learning, working hard and not being satisfied,” coach Ron Brooks said.

All competitors received medals for flight awards regardless of where they placed in their flights. Those who placed in the top 15 for their age and level received a ribbon and trophy. The state champion received these, plus a patch. The Student Activity Center gym floor was full, as three areas of competition were taking place, along with warm up areas and judging tables. There were also clowns who were making balloon animals to entertain the kids.

The awards area was themed in a Western setting, since the USTA Nationals will be held in Rapid City, S.D. in June. MAT is excited to be taking 60 athletes to nationals and to see what they can all accomplish both individually and as a team.

Chelsea Trotter was nominated and selected as the Iowa Athlete of the Year. This award is voted on by all the judges and coaches in the Iowa, so it is great to have one of the MAT athletes recognized as being one of the best in the State, inside and outside the gym.

Receiving the Sportsmanship award was Lyris Kapayou, MAT Novice 11 year old member. Also nominated for the Vickie Wilson Spirit Award

Aftermath of son’s affair puts grandmother in awkward spot DEAR ABBY: My son had an affair that resulted in the birth of a child outside his marriage. The baby is extremely ill. My daughter-in-law has forgiven my son for his infidelity, and along with my two grandchildren, the little family is trying to rebuild and also do right by the baby.

The baby’s mother stays in contact with us, although she is bitter and unpleasant to my son because he would not leave his family for her. However, she does keep us abreast of the baby’s ongoing medical condition and needs.

She confided to me that she got pregnant hoping that my son would finally leave his family.

My question is: How do I handle the relationship we have been forced into with the baby’s mother? I need moral guidance, and some kind of etiquette guidance as well. — MORAL DILEMMA IN GEORGIA DEAR M.D.: Don’t blame the woman for feeling bitter. Her attempt to force your son into leaving his family failed, and she’s now responsible for a very sick child. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the baby is your grandchild, and she is your grandchild’s mother. Treat her with kindness. Don’t make things more difficult than they are by being hostile or judgmental. She’s paying for this affair and will for many years to come. Remember always that she is manipulative, but treat her with compassion.

DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend I’ve known for 35 years. I was there for her during some rough times when we were both living paycheck-to-paycheck. Long story short, she’s now married to a millionaire, and every time we get together, she insists on picking up the check.

Truthfully, I suppose it makes no sense for me to pay. I get that. Fifty dollars to me is like 50 cents to her.

But the last thing I want is for her to feel I’m taking advantage or taking her for granted. Once I did grab the dinner tab, and she really let me have it!

Am I overthinking this? Should I just accept her good fortune and generosity? — VALUES FRIENDSHIP IN THE MIDWEST DEAR VALUES FRIENDSHIP: It appears your friend also values friendship and appreciates how precious long-term relationships are. The two of you have a lot of shared history, and that kind of friendship isn’t easy to replicate.

I do think you should accept her generosity, but I also think you should share your feelings with her so she can put your mind at ease. If it will make you feel less indebted, consider giving her an occasional gift. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just thoughtful.

DEAR ABBY: What are the best words to use when you realize the psychotherapist you recently began therapy with isn’t the right one for you?

Should the words be said in person, over the phone in his voicemail or in writing? I want to get this over with as soon as possible and start looking for someone who may better suit me and my issues. — LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT ONE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR LOOKING: The words are, “This isn’t working for me, and I won’t be coming back.” Be sure to tell the person why. Your message can be conveyed face-to-face, left as a phone message or be put in writing. The choice is yours.

Iowa truck stop accident

DAVENPORT — Authorities have released the name of a Tennessee woman who was killed in an accident at an eastern Iowa truck stop.

Davenport police identified the woman as 74-year-old Mary LeMay, of Centerville, Tennessee. Police say she was guiding her husband as he was trying to park a recreational vehicle at the truck stop on Saturday. Police Capt. Brent Biggs says the RV went out of control and struck LeMay and then struck a car full of children.

Boy injured by falling bullet while watching fireworks COUNCIL BLUFFS — Council Bluffs Police say a bullet someone fired into the air wounded a 7-year-old boy who was watching fireworks with his grandparents. When the boy started crying and complaining about shoulder pain Saturday night, his grandparents initially thought he’d been hurt by fireworks. But while treating the wound, the boy’s grandmother discovered a bullet in the wound.

Iowa courts now paperless as of July 1 CHARLES CITY— Filing a court claim in Iowa now only requires a computer.

As of July 1, Iowa courts have moved to a totally electronic, paperless filing system for records. Court documents can now be filed and viewed online. The clerk of courts office in Floyd County calls the move a welcomed change. Floyd County judicial specialist Stacey Oleson says office workers are able to get electronic filings to judges faster and that the paperless system helps cases progress more quickly.

CLEAR LAKE — A University of Iowa police captain has been named Clear Lake’s new police chief.

The Clear Lake City Council will officially appoint Pete Roth, 45, to the post on Monday.

The selection of Roth follows a fourmonth recruitment process, City Administrator Scott Flory said. Roth, a married father of two, was one of three finalists to be interviewed in closed-door sessions by the city council in recent days.

police with auxiliary officers

MONTROSE — The City Council in Montrose has approved plans to try out a program for auxiliary officers to bolster the town’s police force. The officers will be paid $1 a year to augment the department’s three-member reserve program.

Police Chief Jordan Maag told council members last week that he’s considering hiring two auxiliary officers. He expects to have the officers hired by September.

Summer school program strikes happy chord among students

By Joey Aguirre The Hawk Eye BURLINGTON — The classrooms at Grimes Elementary School are anything but quiet this summer.

Burlington kindergarten through fifth-grade students are filling classrooms with laughter and learning during the sixweek summer school program, which began last month and continues through Aug. 10.

Unlike their parents’ and

grandparents’ summer school, where students were required to attend due to bad grades or other issues, the district’s summer school program is voluntary, not mandatory.

Corse Elementary School fourthgrader Trenton Patton, 10, interviewed a classmate and shared what he learned.

“We made paper books, maintained a journal and then did a classmate interview,” Patton said. “I interviewed Jeremiah. He’s from New Orleans.”

Patton said he’s taking

horseback riding lessons when he’s not at summer school.

Michael Carper, the technology integration coach for Aldo Leopold and Edward Stone middle schools, helped organize the summer school program.

Carper is in his 13th year with the summer school program, but this is his first year stepping out of the classroom to take a more administratortype role.

“We still have room. Not every grade level has some

space, but there’s still quite a bit there,” Carper said. “We are approaching 200 kids right now, and that’s the highest numbers we’ve had.”

Burlington High School students volunteer to assist the program in order to earn “silver cord hours.”

“These kids went right in, sat down and were eating breakfast with the kids this morning,” Carper said. “It’s what we love to see. Those kids getting dirty. It’s fun.”

The high school students

help students with assignments or do some of the busy work for the teachers, such as making copies or grading papers.

“I had high schoolers show up this morning at 7:30 wanting to do some work for teachers,” Carper said. “And a couple want to be teachers, so this gets them that opportunity to try some things.”

Carper said an interventionist will work with specifically identified students and do some progress monitoring with them.

Iowa 2-year-old drowns during gathering on Wisconsin island LANCASTER, Wis. (AP) — A 2-year-old Iowa girl drowned during an Independence Day family gathering on an island on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River, authorities said Sunday.

Bryle Morgan, of Waterloo, died early Sunday at an Iowa City hospital, the Grant County Sheriff ’s Office in Wiscon-

sin said in a statement.

According to the initial investigation, the child’s family was preparing for a group picture around 5 p.m. Saturday on an island in the backwaters on the Wisconsin side near Waupeton, Iowa. Bryle’s mother took her with her when she went back to the boat to retrieve an item.

Three in Omaha charged with cattle rustling in Nebraska, Iowa OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — It may no longer be the wild frontier it once was, but the region encompassing eastern Nebraska and western Iowa still sees the occasional cattle thief.

Officials in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa are prosecuting three Omaha residents they suspect of cattle rustling.

Ervin John Jacob, 57, James Michael Brunzo, 49, and Amy Louise Springer, 42, are accused of slipping into feedlots at night and hauling off steers and cows to sell at sale barns and livestock auctions.

The three are charged with cattle thefts in Cass County, Iowa, and Cuming County, Nebraska. Jacob and Springer also face charges in Nebraska’s York County. Jacob and Springer have already pleaded guilty in some of the cases. Springer pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of theft by unlawful taking in May in Cuming County, receiving a 90-day jail sentence.

“When the mother of the child got out of the boat, she noticed the child was missing and a search ensued,” Detective Rick Place said in the news release. “Moments later, the child was found under a boat in the water. The child was immediately pulled from the water and rescue efforts were started.”

Bryle was taken by boat to

the Waupeton landing, then by ambulance to a Dubuque hospital. She was later flown to the Iowa City hospital.

Place said Bryle was wearing a life jacket before the incident, but it was removed before the group picture.

He said there was no indication of foul play, but the investigation is continuing.

USDA offers funding for farmers markets, local food programs DES MOINES (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s focus has traditionally been on food production, agriculture and natural resources but under the administration of President Barack Obama the USDA also has taken on a broader rural economic development role.

The agency has funded energy projects, small business loans, upgrades to power lines and other electrical equipment, water and wastewater

treatment facilities and broadband expansion to improve high speed Internet. The USDA also has provided funding to help low-income rural residents build their financial literacy and learn to prepare income tax returns.

Providing such financial support seems to stray from the agency’s fundamental role, but Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said rural development is an important part of its mission.

“Part of our responsibility is to support rural America and I am very much focused on this as secretary,” he said. “There are opportunities for the USDA to complement its traditional role supporting production agriculture given the fact that our famers are extraordinarily successful and innovative and efficient, and as a result, we’ve seen a decline in the number of farmers needed to produce most of the food we consume.”

Larry & Diana Ambroson Soda May Raise Risk Of Fracture A recent study showed that drinking soda may increase the risk of hip fracture in post-menopausal women.

Each daily 12 oz. serving of soda was linked with a 14% increase in hip fracture risk, even after accounting for activity levels, weight and other factors. Results were the same for all types of sodas; regular and diet, cola and non-cola, and those with caffeine and those without. This supports previous studies linking soda to lower bone density in adolescents. The study doesn’t prove cause-andeffect, only an association, so more research is needed to confirm the findings.

Celebrating our Freedom

Photos by Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The 34th Army Band entertained the crowd with military favorites, popular Disney songs and hits you would hear on the radio today. In several different arrangements, the band played for well over an hour, even pulling kids out of the crowd to dance to “Let it Go” and having several singers belt out classic tunes.

The Citywide PTA float took first place in the Fourth of July Parade with a large Rubik’s Cube in the center and video game controller in the front.

Several inflatables were free for kids to enjoy during the downtown celebration of Independence Day on Saturday.

Fireworks lit up the sky for more than 20 minutes and concluded with a grand finale and applause from those watching at Agnes Patterson Park.

The color guard helped kicked off Newton’s Fourth of July parade Saturday with our nation’s flag being carried to celebrate our country’s independence.

Veterans from many eras, including World War II, waved to the crowd during the Fourth of July Parade in Newton.

Three inflatables, clowns handing out balloons, food vendors and the 34th Army Band kept everyone busy and entertained at Agnes Patterson Park before fireworks started after dusk.

Led by Lloyd’s hat trick, U.S. leaves no doubt in WC title tilt VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Carli Lloyd came up big again. Three times.

And with it came the Americans’ elusive third Women’s World Cup title.

Lloyd scored three times as the U.S. burst to a four-goal lead in the first 16 minutes, and the Americans overwhelmed defending champion Japan 5-2 Sunday for their record third championship and first since 1999.

A sellout crowd that included U.S. Vice President Joe Biden roared in approval for Lloyd’s hat trick, the first ever in a Women’s World Cup final.

“I was just on a mission,” Lloyd said. “I was on a mission to help my team win this game.”

When it was over, Lloyd collapsed to her knees and pumped her fists. Forward Abby Wambach bear-hugged teary eyed coach Jill Ellis, lifting her off the ground.

Lloyd, voted the Golden Ball as player of the tournament, scored twice early as the U.S. led 2-0 by the fifth minute.

Lauren Holiday boosted the lead in the 14th and two minutes later Lloyd made it 4-0 with an audacious 54-yard, right-footed shot from midfield that sailed over goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori.

Japan closed on Yuki Ogimi’s goal in the 27th and an own goal

by Julie Johnston in the 52nd.

Tobin Heath scored two minutes later for the Americans, who had struggled in the World Cup since winning the inaugural tournament in 1991 and then again at the Rose Bowl eight years later.

Cardinals strike early, down Bobcats

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Newton eighth-grader Peyton Maher lines a base hit to the outfield Friday during the Cardinals’ 6-3 win over Marshalltown. Maher had four hits and was the winning pitcher in the circle, surrendering five hits.

One big inning was enough for the Newton High softball team against Marshalltown on Friday night.

The Cardinals sent 10 batters to the plate in the second inning and five of them crossed home plate. That was enough to earn Newton a 6-3 victory in non-conference action at Berg Middle School.

Newton took advantage of three Marshalltown errors in the inning, chasing Bobcat starter Kaley Mead from the circle after two frames.

Peyton Maher had four hits against the Bobcats’ two pitchers and earned the win in the circle. She allowed five hits, two earned runs and struck out nine over seven innings.

“P.J. (Maher) got up in the count most of the time. That’s what you expect from your pitcher to get ahead in the count and she was able to do that,” Newton coach Kristina McNew said.

The Cardinals’ first four hitters collected 10 of Newton’s 11 hits. Maher, the clean-up hitter, drove in two runs with a two-run single in the five-run second inning.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Newton senior Mike McCormick fields a ground ball at second base last week during the Cardinals’ 3-1 win over Class 3A No. 1 Pella. The Cardinals dropped to 14-9 on the year Friday following a 5-1 loss to Southeast Polk in Pleasant Hill.

One miscue dooms Cardinals against ranked Rams

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PLEASANT HILL — Jeff Stanton was in the zone all day and allowed five hits against Class 4A No. 7 Southeast Polk.

A defensive miscue in the outfield on the Rams’ field turf doomed Newton High’s Cardinals during a 5-1 loss in Friday’s non-conference game.

Southeast Polk loaded the bases in the second inning following a single by Cole Hassman and two walks by Jake Nelson and Sam Henry.

But with two-outs, a fly ball to right field by Cam Shannon was misplayed by Newton (14-9) and the ball kept rolling on the Rams’ unusual playing surface.

“The one error got us,” Newton coach Dustin Brisel said.

“He misplayed the ball, and it

just kept rolling.”

All four runners scored and the defending 4A state champions Southeast Polk went on to win by that margin.

The Rams went up 5-0 in the fifth as they plated another unearned run.

Tim Neff reached on a dropped third strike, went to second on a sacrifice bunt and then scored on Zach Hamilton’s RBI single.

Michael Barr was 3-for-3 for Newton and was a home run shy of the cycle. Stanton and Drew Stout had the only other hits.

Stout scored on a balk in the sixth for the Cardinals’ only run.

“We hit the ball hard, but we couldn’t find a hole and couldn’t get them to drop,” Brisel said.

“It was one of those days where things just didn’t go our way.”

Stanton took the loss after

allowing five hits and five runs — no earned — while walking four and striking out four in six innings.

“He was in the zone all day and was impressive against a 4A ranked team,” Brisel said.

Brayden Shepherd earned the win for the Rams (19-9) after surrendering no runs on three hits in five innings.

Carter Bauge allowed an unearned run in the sixth and gave up two hits in two innings.

The final home games of the season will be Monday against Little Hawkeye Conference rival Norwalk.

The opening game of the doubleheader begins at 5:30 p.m.

The IndyCar Series returns to Iowa Speedway for its annual race on July 18.

And after a controversial race at Fontana last weekend, the series will bring a little bit of baggage to the 7/8-mile oval in Newton.

There are several opinions about last week’s “pack racing” that led to cars driving fourand five-wide at 200 miles per hour.

Dangerous or fun and exciting?

Well, it depends on who you ask.

Marco Andretti and Ed Carpenter both ran several test laps at Iowa Speedway last week and both were asked their take on the controversial race at Auto Club Speedway.

Carpenter, who fin-

ished fourth in 2013 and fifth in 2014 at Iowa Speedway, has no issues with the racing and feels like the controversy is being driven on the actions of individuals off the track.

“I thought it was a great race. I think that as drivers we have a responsibility in our hands to race each other clean and with respect,” said Carpenter, who has raced at Iowa Speedway seven times and has an average finish of 9.6.

“Some of the issues that are there are a result of some individual actions and not necessarily the package.”

Andretti is in the 50/50 camp. But he isn’t about to tell anyone in power how things should be done.

“I am sort of right in the middle,” said INDYCAR | 3B

Troy Hyde/Daily News IndyCar driver Marco Andretti, front, was at Iowa Speedway last week for an open testing session. Andretti will be back in Newton on July 18 for the IndyCar Series’ Iowa Corn 300.

World Cup Continued from Page 1B Christie Rampone, the only holdover from the 1999 team, lifted the trophy with Wambach, the 35-year-old former FIFA Player of the Year who lost her regular starting job with age.

Wambach was among the most vocal opponents of FIFA’s decision to play the tournament on artificial turf.

With FIFA President Sepp Blatter staying away during a U.S. criminal investigation of soccer officials, the trophy was presented by FIFA Senior Vice President Issa Hayatou of Cameroon, the head of African soccer’s governing body.

Hope Solo won the Golden Glove as top goalkeeper of the tournament.

Lloyd’s third goal came when Kaihori came far off her line.

The keeper backpedaled and got a hand on it, but it bounced into the goal.

“Miss Lloyd she always does this to us.

In London she scored 2 goals and today she scored 3 goals. We are embarrassed,” said Japan coach Norio Sasaki.

“But she is an excellent player and I really respect her and admire her.”

Hawk softball scores wins over state-ranked East Marshall, Carlisle Troy Hyde/ Daily News Lynnville-Sully junior Brenna Lanser had a solo home run in the Class 1A No. 6 Hawks’ 2-0 win over 4A No. 3 Carlisle at the Carlisle Tournament on Friday. The Hawks have won 11 straight games and are now 32-3 on the year.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News CARLISLE — The Class 1A No. 6 Lynnville-Sully softball team didn’t ease its way into the postseason.

The Hawks traveled to the Carlisle Tournament on Friday and returned home with a 2-1 win over 3A No. 3 East Marshall and a 2-0 victory against 4A No. 3 and host Carlisle.

Lizzy VanManen’s two run-single in the third was all the Hawks needed to down the Mustangs (25-4) and ace pitcher Mariah Fritz.

Lynnville-Sully (32-3) had four hits in the game, one each from VanManen, Madison Rasmusson, Makenzy Rozendaal and Riley Rockwell. Kasiah Ehresman, Brenna Lanser, Haley James and Rockwell all drew walks, too.

Rozendaal and pinch runner Shelby Foster scored the runs.

Rasmusson earned the win, allowing four hits and striking out five while walking one in seven innings.

Lanser hit a solo home run against Carlisle in the second game and the Hawks got a RBI hit from Rasmusson. She had two of the Hawks’ four hits and earned the win in the circle following a four-hitter and seven strikeouts.

Ehresman had a hit, scored a run and stole a base for the Hawks’ offense. Lanser and Maria Rasmusson each drew walks.

Lynnville-Sully takes 11 straight wins into the postseason. The Hawks play either Melcher-Dallas or Montezuma in Sully at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Friday’s regional semifinal game also is in Sully and it starts at 7 p.m.

Tigerhawks take three in consecutive doubleheaders COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo softball coach Bryan Poulter has been waiting for his Tigerhawk squad to grab some consistency throughout most of the season.

After taking three games of back-to-back doubleheaders on Thursday and Friday, that consistency may be coming at the right time.

Coming off an 8-1 win over Gilbert, the Tigerhawks blasted through North Polk on Thursday. They split a doubleheader with Nevada on Friday afternoon.

The successful finish to the week moved Colfax-Mingo up a few spots in the Heart of Iowa Conference. It may have given the Tigerhaawks some confidence heading into Monday night’s playoff game.

The Tigerhawks defeated North Polk 10-0 and 13-2.

They stayed hot with the bat in game one Friday, taking down Nevada 13-4.

Eight errors in the double dip against the Cubs, including five in game two, prevented the Tigerhawks from backto-back sweeps as Nevada took the second game 15-3.

In the opener against Nevada, the Tigerhawks scored at least one run in all but one inning. They led 5-2 after three innings then plated three in the fourth and four in the seventh to win going away.

They had 17 hits at the plate, led by Ries Wilson’s 4-for-4 performance. She had two runs, two RBIs and a walk, while Erin Earles had three hits and scored twice.

Rhiannon Haley collected two hits, scored one run and drove in three. Amy Russell walked four times and scored twice.

Delaney Underwood had her best varsity game of the year, cranking out four hits and four RBIs. Mackensie Brown had two hits and three RBIs, while Colbee Cunningham had two hits, one run and two RBIs. Wilson earned the win in the circle, allowing 10 hits and

three earned runs.

Five errors plagued the Tigerhawks in game two. Cunningham allowed 18 hits, but only nine of the 15 runs she gave up were earned.

Madi Highland had three hits, including a homer, and drove in four runs for Nevada, while Skye Borton had three hits, two runs and two RBIs. Offensively, Brooke Nicholson and Brown both went 2-for-3. Nicholson doubled and had an RBI. Rhiannon Haley’s only hit was her fifth home run of the season.

The doubleheader sweep of North Polk on Thursday included 23 runs, 21 hits and nine Comet errors in 10 total innings.

In the 10-0 win, Wilson allowed six hits and no runs in the circle and had one hit, two runs and a walk at the plate.

Haley led the way with three hits, three RBIs and two runs. Alivia Haley added two hits, two runs and a walk.

Earles chipped in one hit and two RBIs and Russell had a hit, two runs and two RBIs. The 13-2, five-inning win featured a win from Cunningham in the circle. She allowed two first-inning runs, four hits total and two walks.

Wilson had three hits, three runs and five RBIs. One of her hits was her sixth home run of

the year.

Russell hit her third blast of the season. She scored three runs, had two RBIs and two walks.

Alivia Haley chipped in two runs and two hits, while Cunningham helped herself with two hits and an RBI. North Polk’s only runs of the doubleheader came off a Rebecca Rimathe two-run home run in the first inning of game two.

Colfax-Mingo and North Polk each have eight wins in HOIC play. The Tigerhawks are 10-22 overall and 8-10 in HOIC, while North Polk dropped to 15-16 overall and 8-9 in league play. The Comets have lost four straight.

Nevada is 10-15 overall and 6-11 in the HOIC. The Tigerhawks open Class 1A Region 6 play with a trip to No. 14 Martensdale-St. Marys (24-10) at 7 p.m. Monday.

Greene County 3, CMB 2 JEFFERSON — Collins-Maxwelll/Baxter’s Raiders had their seven-game win streak snapped by Class 3A No. 4 Greene County Rams Friday.

Payge Jurgens walked in front of Abbey Appelgate’s two-run home run in the fourth to give CMB a 2-0 lead.

Greene County, like it did the first time around against the

Raiders, rallied to win late.

Emma Saddoris hit a solo homer in the bottom of the fourth to draw within one run.

A two-run double by Marissa Promes pushed the home team in front for good.

Promes got the win in the circle, allowing two runs on five hits with four strikeouts.

The Raiders loaded the bases with one out in the seventh but lined into a double play to end the game.

Jordynn Wesselink had two hits, while Appelgate, Mikayla Eslinger and Hannah Caple all had one hit apiece.

Abbey Kahler took the pitching loss, surrendering three runs on nine hits with four strikeouts.

The game featured two of the top three teams in the HOIC. Greene County (26-6, 16-1) has locked up the conference title, while CMB (1814) ended in a tie for second with Prairie City-Monroe at 13-5.

CMB opens Class 2A Region 6 play at 7 p.m. Wednesday against West Marshall (12-17) in State Center.

The Trojans have lost six straight and CMB defeated them 4-3 back on June 9.

PCM baseball gets shut down by Greene County

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe’s baseball team was held to five hits

by Greene County starter Colton Fitzpatrick on Friday.

PCM’s Mustangs lost 4-0 to the Rams in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

The Rams, who won their fifth straight, scored three runs in the second and put the game away for good in the fifth.

Chase Keuning had two of the Mustangs’ five hits and one was a double. Trey Lindsay, Clay Cooper and Ethan Thomas had the other three hits. Connor Warrick and Sheldon Speers each walked once.

IndyCar Continued from Page 1B Andretti, who won the Iowa Corn 250 back in 2011. “It was dangerous but at the same time, it was fun for the fans.

It’s always a fine line, and it’s not my job to figure that stuff out.”

Two drivers who were outspoken against the “pack racing” were Team Penske teammates Will Power and Juan Pablo Montoya.

Montoya is the series points leader. But he feels like the series can do great things without having to drive four- and five-wide at super-fast speeds.

“I backed out of probably 20 situations where I gave up three, four positions be-

cause there (was) no point,” Montoya told USA TODAY sports. “I don’t race harder because there’s no point. I’m not interested in getting hurt.

“It’s stupid. It’s a shame because we have great cars and we can put on a hell of a show without doing this.”

Power compared Fontana’s controversial race to the 2011 IndyCar race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the one that saw former IndyCar Series driver Dan Weldon killed in a tragic 15-car pileup.

“Someone is going to die.

This is the Las Vegas situation all over again, but 500 miles,” Power told USA TODAY Sports. “Someone or multiple people need to lose their jobs over this, because this is an absolute disgrace.”

While opinions will never be the same across the board, Carpenter was unhappy with how several drivers attacked the series after a race that was so well-received from fans.

Matthew Brabham is a third-generation IndyCar Series driver who has competed in 17 Indy Lights races the past two seasons. He is a part of Andretti Motorsports and also was in Newton with Andretti during the testing session last week.

While it’s hard for Brabham to comment on the controversy as a driver because he wasn’t involved in the race, he enjoyed the overall product as a fan of IndyCar racing.

“I could understand how someone would think it would be dangerous, but for me, I

was watching the race thinking it was awesome,” said Brabham, whose grandfather is three-time Formula One World Champion Sir Jack Brabham. “I wanted to jump in there and race. It was the most incredible race I have ever seen. It was so tight and so close and it was real racing from my point of view.”

James Jakes, driver of the No. 7 Lucas Oil Honda, is another driver who understands things from both sides Jakes was in Iowa last week for the WHO Radio Great Iowa Tractor Ride. Before driving an antique tractor seven miles per hour for about 100 yards, Jakes took part in the Fontana race.

“There has to be a happy medium,” Jakes said. “Not

three earned runs and struck out three while walking two in five innings. Austin Brown threw the final two innings and allowed no runs and no hits while walking two and striking out three.

Fitzpatrick improved to 3-3 for Greene County (169 overall, 12-4 in HOIC). He allowed five hits, struck out four and lowered his season earned run average to 1.14.

Daric Whipple had three of the Rams’ seven hits. He scored a run, drove in two and swiped three bases.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Troy Hyde/Daily News Newton freshman Audrey Lucas makes a play at first base during the Cardinals’ 6-3 win over Marshalltown on Friday night at Berg Middle School.

Cardinals

Continued from Page 1B while Sydney Jenkins went 2-for-3 with a run, an RBI and a walk from the lead-off spot. Karley Leiker was 2-for4 in the two-hole as well.

“That’s the most important for us,” McNew said about the top of her order’s success. “We seem to play better when our first couple of hitters get on. They feed off each other and those top few getting on tonight was key for us. As soon as you see one hit, it’s motivation for the others and ups their confidence.”

Newton (15-16) stranded two runners on base in the first inning, but had much better luck bringing them around in the second frame.

Bailey Davis reached on an error to lead off the inning and then Kari Adams walked with one out.

Both Davis and Adams scored when Fran Lucas reached on another Marshalltown (4-26) error. Lucas ended up on third before scoring on Jenkins’ RBI single.

Maher’s two-run single came

with two outs.

“The girls got the bat on the ball and made stuff happen,” McNew said.

Newton’s four hits were assisted by the three Bobcat miscues but the Cardinals stranded two on base.

Cassidy Blackford came on in relief for Mead in the third.

She got the Cardinals in order in the third and kept them off the scoreboard in the fourth despite four consecutive hits from Jenkins, Leiker, Ryan and Maher.

Jenkins was caught stealing and Leiker was thrown out at home. Davis grounded out with the bases loaded to end the inning.

Newton stranded two more in the fifth and left nine on the base paths in the game.

Ryan led off the sixth with an infield single and then she came all the way around to score when Maher singled to center. The ball got passed the center fielder and rolled all the way to the fence, helping Newton go up 6-1.

“Today we had two big errors that were kind of deal breakers for us that we just couldn’t come back from,” Marshalltown coach Angie

Lovell said. “Newton’s got a good little ball club going on here. Their pitcher had our number today. She threw well.

But I am proud of my team because we did rally back and we haven’t done that all year so that’s a good sign going into next week.”

Marshalltown scored its first run in the sixth and then plated two more in the seventh. Each run was assisted by a Newton error, but Maher ended the game with a strikeout of Regan Mazour.

Adams made a great catch in centerfield to rob Marshalltown’s Tabby Steffensen of extra bases in the sixth. She ran down a ball to the gap before running into the fence. She was shaken up on the play but remained in the game.

The Cardinals conclude their regular season with a home game against Norwalk at 7:30 p.m. Monday.

The Class 4A playoffs begin at 7 p.m. Thursday and Newton opens with a home game against Des Moines Hoover.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There are so many possibilities that you don’t know what to do next. Focus on eliminating a few options. Cross off every option that feels wrong, off-putting, boring, tedious, redundant or useless.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

It’s true you have a tendency to vacillate a while before you make a choice. Once you decide on a course of action, start immediately. There will be momentum in your first
