By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Jasper County’s executive director of Veterans Affairs is taking leave under provisions of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. Chris Chartier Chartier is taking FMLA leave until late August, Jasper County Veterans Affairs Commission Chair Marta Ford announced Wednesday. Speaking

after Wednesday’s regular monthly commission meeting, Ford said parttime county employee Keith Thorpe will handle Chartier’s duties for the next several weeks, and Ford will meet with Chartier at the end of his leave to discuss his status with the department.

Chartier, 32, has been the county’s Veterans affairs director for about three years. He was arrested May 24 for at his second charge for operating while under the influence in a span of a little more than three years.

COLFAX — At the former Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. gravel quarry — now dubbed the Colfax North Park by the Colfax Park and Recreation Auxiliary Board — nature is begging to reassert itself.

The City of Colfax accepted the 500-acre gravel quarry’s donation from Martin Marietta during its April city council meeting with the operations and development left to the auxiliary park board.

It is the future location of an outdoor recreational facility with park leaders exploring plans for hiking, fishing and RV camping among other ideas.

The city also approved annexation the property — located at 1208 Highway 117 S. — and additional discussion over the future park is expected at the July 13 council meeting.

But the future park is still closed to the public, and park auxiliary board marketing and promotions chair Connor Jones said a lot of work still needs to be done before people can hit that first trail.

It’s a wrap

By Deb Nilles RDN, LD Skiff Medical Center During the warm summer months many people are looking for ways to keep meal prep to a minimum.

There is always something more entertaining to do; and who likes to heat up the kitchen?

If you are looking for an easy way to keep meal planning Nilles and prep simple, yet make healthful eating a priority — look no further than a package of whole grain tortillas. Tortillas are so versatile you can eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even snacks.

You’ll find a variety of tortillas in the grocery store. Look for those that list some type of whole grain as the first ingredient.

The size will depend on your recipe. Use the following ideas to free yourself from spending too much time in the kitchen this summer. Note: Before rolling tortillas, heat them in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to make the tortillas pliable and easier to work with.

Tortillas for breakfast: For

an on the go breakfast, fill a six-inch tortilla with scrambled eggs, shredded cheese and salsa.

Add onions and bell peppers for a hearty serving of vegetables for breakfast.

Tortillas for lunch: Use a tortilla instead of bread for sandwiches. Tortillas will hold lots of fresh summer veggies.

Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado, hummus, or Italian dressing on a medium sized (eight to nine inch) tortilla.

Place chopped vegetables and deli meat in the center and roll burrito style to make it easier to eat.

Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla toward the center.

Grab the bottom flap of the tortilla, tuck it over the filling and roll until it assumes its traditional cylinder shape. Beans can be added for additional flavor and fiber.

Tortilla wraps are also a great use for leftover grilled meat instead of the deli meat.

Tortillas for supper: Tortilla pizzas and quesadillas can be made on an electric griddle instead of the oven.

To make a tortilla pizza, brush a 10-inch tortilla (often referred to as burrito sized) with olive oil and place oil side down on a griddle preheated to 375 degrees.

Top the tortilla with marina-

Agricultural Tax Planning

ra sauce and grated mozzarella cheese and heat until the cheese melts, about eight minutes.

Add fresh basil, oregano and thinly sliced tomatoes for a real summer treat with almost no effort.

To make quesadillas, brush a tortilla with olive oil and place oil side down on a griddle preheated to 375 degrees.

Top with cheese, bell peppers and onions. Top with another tortilla brushed with olive oil, this time place the oil side up. Heat four to five minutes on each side or until cheese is melted and vegetables are crisp tender. If softer vegetables are preferred, sauté vegetables in a nonstick skillet with a small amount of olive oil first.

Tortillas for snack. For a sweet treat, spread a six-inch tortilla with peanut butter, add chopped fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, or kiwi and roll tightly. Slice into one-inch pieces. Greek yogurt can be used instead of peanut butter for a lower calorie snack.

For a savory snack, use hummus and chopped vegetables and shredded cheese instead of peanut butter and fruit.

Keep tortillas in your pantry for an endless variety of cool summer meals and snacks that are quick, easy and nutritious too.

Two injured in ambulance roll over Newton Daily News Two ambulance drivers were injured in a roll over crash near Newton early Wednesday morning.

The crash occurred at about 4:30 a.m. near mile marker 170.

According to the Iowa State Patrol, the Midwest Ambulance drove off the road and rolled into a ditch.

The crew was driving back from Dubuque to Des Moines; officials said there was not a patient on board.

Deputies believe the driver likely fell asleep at the wheel, while the co-driver was in the back of the ambulance sleeping.

Both suffered minor injuries and were taken to Skiff Medical Center.

Authorities have not released the name of the drivers.

Midwest Ambulance is a Des Moinesbased family owned company.

etta was killed by a fox about a year ago, while protecting her young, and Tommy hasn’t been the same since.

Rather than run away or get depressed, Tommy has taken to being loud and “in your face” much more than he used to be, Smith said.

“He used to be a lot more docile,” Smith said. “Now, he’ll sometimes walk right into the house, into the kitchen, like he owns the place.”

Smith said there’s a new turkey hen on the property — known as Gerdie — but Tommy doesn’t seem to have the same emotions for her that he had for Henrietta.

Smith’s three sons are all grown and have moved away from home. One is rather intimidated by the bird when he comes around, and even the son who serves in the military doesn’t seem to like Tommy much. Her two dogs,

Billy and Wiener, are much shorter than Tommy, and seem to steer clear of him.

“He makes a real impression,” Smith said, laughing.

She said there’s no way she could have Tommy harvested.

“I could eat him,” she said.

“But I won’t. He’s become family.”

She said one of the funniest incidents involving the bird happened when one of her sons got a lawn mower

stuck on a steep incline.

“He went to set up a tow line to use the pickup truck to pull the mower out, and he sent me into town for more fuel,” Smith said. “When I get back, he’s in the truck, with Tommy standing there.

He said ‘Mom, the turkey wouldn’t let me out.’”

sion.

Ford said she and Jasper County Human Resource Director Dennis Simon have put between eight and 10 hours into determining the best course of action. There were no personnel items directly related to Chartier on Wednesday’s agenda, but Thorpe and two commission members referred during the meeting to a “current situation,” which is Chartier’s leave.

One action the commission took during the meeting was to authorize Thorpe to sign

off on claims to be paid out to veterans, if the claims are for less than $1,000. Claims of that amount or greater must go before the county board of supervisors.

Other items covered included the detailing of expenditures that exhausted the annual budget, planning a September retreat aimed at helping veterans who are struggling with transitioning into civilian life and an update on transporting veterans to appointments within and outside of the county.

Thorpe said collabora-

tion with Veterans Affairs staff and volunteers in other counties is critical. He gave a recent example: A veteran in a wheelchair, unable to articulate whether he was from either Poweshiek or Marion county, ended up on the streets of Newton, and the proper personnel were contacted to help transport the veteran to an appropriate destination.

In the time Thorpe is responsible for the director’s duties, he will work closely with Darlene McMartin, who has worked with veter-

ans in Pottawattamie County for more than 24 years.

Thorpe also discussed office hours. He is a part-time employee, so he proposed he increase his office hours from 20 to 24, and to be in the office from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Mondays and from 8 a.m. to noon Tuesdays through Fridays.

The commission is set to meet again Aug. 12 in the county annex building at 3 p.m.

“The first time we came out here as a group and saw it, it was just mind blowing how big it is,” Jones said.

“You can look at pictures but you don’t get the scope of it.”

To get the word out, the park’s marketing team will set up a booth during the Jasper County Fair, showcasing conceptual drawings for the facility drafted by students at Iowa State University’s Landscape Architectural studio, previously presented at public meetings early this year. Jones said the board plans to march during the fair parade, sporting T-shirts with an art-deco tree and a graphic reading “The Pit Crew.”

The board is also holding a contest to see who can come up with the most creative name for the complex and eventually drop the “North Park” moniker. To participate, the board is asking both Colfax residents and non-residents to post ideas directly to the park board’s Facebook

their free time at the site painting, cleaning and inspecting electrical hook ups to get the building operations.

Jones said the structures could become part of the park’s permanent functions, used as boat rentals, park offices and equipment storage, but those plans remain undecided. Despite the long process, many Colfax residents want to know, when can they start enjoying all that nature?

“That’s the million dollar question,” Jones said. “Personally and as a group, our goal is to open up — even if it’s just a section of the whole area — a walking trail. It could be primitive paths, gravel or wood chips, but hopefully by the fall. One of our aims was around the first quarter of (the school year). .... What you can expect to see are things that can be changed in the future.

We want to have the park open so people can see it, but we don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves before we have our master plan.”

Nothing is as sweet as Sugar

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | July 9, 2015

The first day of my first Jasper County Fair last year, I met Sugar the dog. With a soft, cotton candy-white fur and redness around her eyes, Sugar is blind and partially deaf. But to see the way she’s approached by her 11-yearold owner/trainer, Carlee Zahurones of Baxter, you’d never know Sugar has a disability.

Despite her handicap, Sugar still competes in the 4-H dog show. During her competition, Sugar could not hear Zahurones’ calls or see her signals and cues, but the now 12-year-old adapted. She uses light touches and tugs on the dog’s collar to communicate commands.

In the stands, family friends of Zahurones told me Sugar

has come a long way in the past year. Sugar’s fans in the stands said the dog would not take commands during the 2013 fair 4-H show.

The patience and kind attitude exhibited by this Baxter youth toward Sugar is the same demeanor we should have in everyday life. If there are struggles, look at the challenge from a different perspective.

Sugar has worth, ability and talents, and Zahurones saw that and is allowing the pup’s attributes to shine through.

These are traits we all have and can find in one another.

Every person, no matter their challenges, has the ability to find purpose and value in life.

According to U.S. cen-

sus data compiled by Cornell University in 2012, just under 19 million Americans classify themselves as members of the disabled community, but only 33.5 percent of these Americans have found jobs.

The opportunities are out there. Whether it be through an employment/day-hab service, job coach or guardian-assisted search, folks in this community can contribute and want to contribute. Exercising one’s talents and abilities gives a sense of belonging and self worth, but sometimes it takes someone special, a motivator, to help someone reach their full potential.

After graduating college, I served people with autism, MR and physical disabilities

for two years. In a direct care setting, I had the time and opportunity to get to know the people I served and learn ways to communicate. These paths of communication led to an understanding to help people with disabilities achieve their goals. Pictures, sign language and unconventional verbal cues can be used to better understand a person’s needs to ultimately assist them in bringing home that first paycheck, swimming out into the ocean or establishing a long-lasting relationship with a friend.

It’s about perspective, it’s about faith, and a different way of communicating.

Restore integrity of visas For more than 200 years, America’s system of free enterprise has sparked innovation and economic mobility in communities across the country. A nation founded by immigrants seeking economic, religious and personal freedoms, our society has flourished thanks to the ingenuity and

By Chuck work ethic put Grassley forth by generU.S. Senator ations of hard workers and big thinkers. The promise of possibility, anchored by the rule of law, shapes our heritage of peace and prosperity.

Congress is often referred to as the people’s branch of the federal government. Our system of self-government works because the American people have a seat at the table through their elected representatives. From taxes and spending to immigration and criminal justice laws, Congress sets the policy table for the people’s business.

Let’s consider an immigration policy that facilitates legal entry into the country. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) administers programs for temporary and permanent workers, students and visitors who want to come to the United States. The federal agency issues visas so that foreign nationals can live, study or work in the country.

Looking for ways to help trigger job creation and boost economic growth, Congress debated the merits of foreign investment and designed a program a quarter-century ago called the Im-

migrant Investor, or “EB-5” program. In 1992, new incentives were created to attract investors to projects in rural or high-unemployment areas.

Specifically, this special program allows investors to pool their resources and invest in commercial enterprises, with the expectation that they create jobs.

The threshold for qualifying investments is $1 million, but is reduced to $500,000 if investments target rural or high unemployment areas, often called a “targeted employment area” (TEA).

For several years, I’ve kept close tabs on the program thanks in part to the reports of wrongdoing brought forward by whistleblowers. Cronyism and corruption undercut the good intent of public policy crafted for the public good. And cutting deals for political expediency can compromise national security.

What’s worse, allegations suggesting the EB-5 program may be facilitating terrorist travel, economic espionage, money laundering and investment fraud are too serious to ignore.

Mismanagement of immigration laws that put America at risk is entirely inexcusable.

That’s why I work tirelessly to conduct thorough scrubbings of executive orders and administrative actions that implement federal immigration policies.

Through my oversight as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I know the administration’s shortcomings with immigration policy aren’t exclusive to the EB-5 program.

Consider a few others that include: • the mounting evidence of fraud and abuse of the H1-B skilled worker program that

has resulted in thousands of American workers losing their jobs.

• the president’s proposed expansion of “Optional Practical Training” (OPT) work permits issued to foreign students graduating from U.S. colleges.

The OPT program, which was not established by Congress and already gives work permits to more than 100,000 foreign workers each year, circumvents employment-based visas that were established by Congress.

An audit by the Government Accountability Office found the OPT program is rife with inefficiencies, poor oversight and susceptible to fraud. A big expansion would make things worse.

• the unbelievable actions by the Department of Homeland Security that released more than 36,000 convicted criminal aliens from its custody in 2013.

Tragically, it now appears that violent, predatory convicted offenders, many of whom have committed homicide or sexual molestation crimes, have been released and granted benefits under this administration’s immigration policies.

Restoring the integrity of the EB-5 visas is one place to start fixing what’s broken. Reforms would help boost economic growth in areas that need it the most and curb risks to national security in the process. That’s why I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation to improve the regional center program so that it works as Congress intended.

I’m working to bring meat and potatoes to EB-5’s policy table to help revitalize rural economies and bring good jobs to areas of high unemployment.

They met at the YMCA 17 years ago. Or was it dancing? Rita and Stuart A s h mead, of Ottumwa, aren’t for sure.

But you can bet t h e y m e t d u r i n g By Curt Swarm s o m e Guest Columnist physical activity. Stuart is 87, and Rita will be 80 in November. Every year they compete in the Iowa Senior Games — Rita as a runner, Stuart as a swimmer. And they hold all the records. But they aren’t boastful about their gold medals. In fact, most people, even some of their closest friends, don’t know they compete.

Stuart fingers the medals he had to force Rita into bringing out.

The medals speak for themselves. Rita: 50 meter, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1500 meter Gold Medals. All are records.

Stuart: 50 Free Style, 50 Back Stroke, 100 Free, 100 Back, 200 Free and 200 Back Stroke. Stu’s were records when he turned 85.

What’s even more amazing, is that Stu can’t walk without assistance. He has spinal stenosis, and lost the use of his legs five or six years ago. But, trust me on this one, he doesn’t let it bother him. He doesn’t need his legs to swim.

The Iowa Senior Games has a lift for getting him in and out of the water. And then it’s all upper body strength.

Stu has perfected a method of keeping his head low in the water, which brings his legs up.

By swimming real deep in the water, some people don’t even think he’s breathing. But he is, and he smokes the competition, what few there are left in his age division.

Stuart likes to have fun. One of his old bud-

dies complained, “Aw, come on Stu, let me win one!” Stuart let his friend keep up with him on the first lap, then turned it on in the second.

Stuart is a retired military man. He spent 30-plus years in the Air Force. He suspects that he is the ranking enlisted veteran in Iowa. Rita whispers, “Military people are survivors.”

Of course, along with Stuart’s illness and medication, comes some pain and discomfort.

However, when he’s in the water, “It’s a whole other world.” The only thing that bothers Stuart is, “when I’m not swimming.”

Rita had seven children and worked two jobs. When her last child left home, she went back to school, got her nursing degree, and became the county nurse. She started walking about 20 years ago, faster and faster, until she was running.

She’s never stopped, and still has no joint pain.

Today, she runs three to four times a week, and lifts weights three days a week at the Y. Even though she hasn’t turned 80, because of how the Iowa Games list age, she was in the 80-85 age group. There were three records in that age group that had never been challenged.

Rita set a goal of breaking those records. And she did. Her goal next year is to break her own records.

Stuart contemplates that, because of the progressive nature of his disability, this might be the last year they can compete together. But he has no regrets.

“We have the best life in the world,” he says, wrapping an arm around Rita. “I swim for fun.

Rita’s the competitor.

You ought to see her at shuffleboard. She hates to lose.”

Meet comments about biracial child with humor and pride DEAR ABBY: May I comment on the letter from “Open-Minded in Pennsylvania” (3/6), the adoptive mother of a biracial child who asked for a witty comeback for strangers’ comments/questions? This is a rare teaching moment! If a parent reacts with the slightest hint of displeasure, the child will think the parent is displeased with her/him.

We adopted a daughter of a different race 29 years ago. When I received comments/questions from acquaintances and strangers, my face would light up, and I’d respond, “Oh, we adopted her! She is Filipino! We are so blessed to have her in our lives!” Usually, the person would smile and say something positive.

The rare times someone didn’t, we would hurry on with a wave and a smile, and I would hug her close.

Our daughter has grown up proud of her ethnic background and knowing she’s special. She is now married and the proud mother of two biracial children. — JUDY IN TEXAS DEAR JUDY: You handled the situation beautifully. I heard from a slew of adoptive parents after printing that letter. Let me share some of their comments: DEAR ABBY: Thirty years ago, we adopted two baby girls of a different race from ours. Our adoption social worker gave us some insightful advice about what to do when someone made a bigoted or ignorant remark. She said: “Always remember your child is watching you to see how she is supposed to feel about what has just happened. If you become upset and defensive, your children will feel that way too and begin to believe something is ‘wrong’ about them and your family. So take the role of teacher and educate the ignorant person. Keep it light, add humor if you can, and

then chuckle later with your child and other family members about the silly dumbness of a few people in the world.” It worked for us. — ANTONIA, MOTHER OF TWO DEAR ABBY: When my adopted son from Bogota, Colombia, was about 4 months old, we were shopping for groceries one day. A woman approached our cart and asked, “Where is he from?” I smiled and replied, “Heaven!” — KATHY IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: I employ a strategy I learned from your column. I face the questioner with a smile and say, “I am stunned that you would ask such a personal thing!” The look on the asker’s face is priceless. And it makes it quite clear that I have no obligation to respond to anything someone may choose to ask. To that mother: Hold your head high, radiate pride in your precious child, and know all’s right in your world. — PAT IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful grandchild of mixed race.

When I’m asked insensitive questions like, “What is he?” I smile, hold him close, and respond, “He’s PERFECT — don’t you think?”

Federal disaster declaration denied for bird flu DES MOINES — Governor Terry Branstad’s request for a federal disaster declaration to respond to the bird flu outbreak has been denied.

The governor had sought a major disaster declaration from President Barack Obama for the four counties most impacted by the virus. In a letter from federal authorities dated Tuesday, the request was rejected. The letter said the damage was “not of such severity and magnitude” that it could not be handled by the state.

IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa has implemented a new program to help the increasing number of Chinese students feel like a part of the university community by teaching professors how to pronounce their names.

The program pairs Chinese-speaking student tutors with faculty and staff in one-on-one sessions at the start of every semester. One student, Ya Qiong, chooses to go by the English name of Irene because it’s easier for her professors and classmates to pronounce.

Judge doesn’t dismiss jury pool due to lack of diversity FORT DODGE — A judge who agreed to dismiss a jury pool earlier this year because of a lack of racial diversity has declined to do so the second time around. Tyrone Washington Jr., 41, is charged with first-degree murder in the August 2013 stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend, Justina Smith, in Northwood.

District Judge Colleen Weiland granted the defense’s motion in May to dismiss a jury pool after all but one of the prospective jurors had identified themselves as white.

SIOUX CITY— Sioux City officials say some people who have paid parking tickets have still gotten city notices that they haven’t, so the city has stopped sending all notices until the problem is resolved.

The city sends notices to people if their tickets aren’t paid within 15 days of the tickets being issued. The notices say that if the tickets aren’t paid within 30 days of their issuance, extra $5 charges will be added to the tickets.

Monroe City Council issues search for council vacancy

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News MONROE — The Monroe City Council is looking for a few good men/women as it searches for a temporary replacement for long-time city council member John Vriezelaar.

The council voted 3-0 Monday, with member Alicia Hansen absent and upon Mayor Brian Briles’ recommendation, to solicit the community for letters of interest to fill the vacant seat. Vriezelaar, who served on the council intermittently for 15 years, resigned effective July 1 due to health reasons.

A notice issued Tuesday

by Monroe City Administrator Matt Mardesen states the appointment would be a four month term until the position can be put on the November election ballot.

Monroe, Iowa, 50170. Letters are due by 4:30 p.m. Aug. 6, and the appointment will be made at the Aug. 10 meeting. Briles suggested Monday that the appointee be seated for full council duties at that same meeting following the oath of office. Briles said any appointee would also be eligible to run for the remainder of Vriezelaar’s current term or run for a full four-year term during the November election.

Following the appointment, Monroe residents would have 14 days to file a petition to call for a special election for the seat.

Vriezelaar was also Monroe’s mayor pro tempore and served as acting mayor when the sitting mayor was on leave or absent.

The council passed this title Monday to board member Sean Wilson. The newly appointed mayor pro tempore took the opportunity to say a few kind

Mike Mendenhall/Prairie City News Monroe City Council member Amber Nickelson, city clerk Kim Thomas and Mayor Brian Briles discuss appointment procedures Monday night in hopes to fill a council seal left vacant by the resignation of John Vriezelaar.

Vriezelaar was in the middle of a four-year term, which was scheduled to expire in 2017.

The council’s actions follows Iowa Code which states a city council can appoint a person to fill a vacancy until the next election. The council’s appointee will also assume Vriezelaar’s

duties as council liaison to the Monroe Fire and Ambulance Department.

The council is asking Monroe residents 18 years old and older, who are interested in serving and live within the Monroe city limits to send or drop off a letter to Briles at P.O. Box 370,

words about his former colleague.

“I’d regret it if I passed on this opportunity. Normally, we get to do this with the person sitting here, but under the circumstances, I say thank you to John Vriezelaar for 3.5 years — getting to sit with him and learn from him,” Wilson said. “You don’t always agree, you don’t always disagree but what you can’t dispute is how much he loved this city and how much he gave to it.”

Briles served with Vriezelaar longer than any other sitting council member.

“He was very tenacious,” Briles said. “On anything that he believed in, he was whole heartily in. In all the years that I’ve been here the fire and ambulance crew have never had a better supporter at this table than John. He will be missed.”

Law license delayed for immigrant illegally living in US The Associated Press DES MOINES — An aspiring New York lawyer trying to become one of the few immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to be granted a law license hit a glitch Wednesday when an Iowa judge refused to prematurely end his probation on a misdemeanor conviction.

Cesar Vargas, who was 5 when his mother brought him to the U.S. from Mexico, was arrested in January for disrupting a speech by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in Des Moines.

The immigration activist was convicted in June of trespassing, sentenced to a year of probation and fined $65.

The 31-year-old is applying for a law license in New York, which generally doesn’t grant licenses to people on probation.

Vargas asked a judge to end his probation early, and finished all other requirements of his sentence, but the judge refused Wednesday.

“It would be rare for this court to discharge anybody sooner,” Judge Kevin Parker said during a hearing in Des Moines, adding that he saw no reason to allow an exception in his case.

Vargas, who went to high school and college in New York, said he accepted the decision.

“This is part of the journey,” Vargas said after the hearing. “I’ve learned that although

you need a license to be admitted as a lawyer and to represent clients, you don’t need a license to advocate for your family.”

In January, Vargas interrupted Christie — now a GOP presidential candidate — during an Iowa Freedom Summit gathering arranged by U.S. Rep. Steve King, an outspoken opponent of President Barack Obama’s immigration policies.

Before a crowd of more than 1,000 Republicans, Vargas asked Christie if he would support deporting Vargas’ 70-year-old mother, who brought the family to the U.S. in 1988. Vargas was arrested after leaving the event.

Escaped Iowa inmate had ‘history of violence’ The Associated Press IOWA CITY — An Iowa inmate repeatedly fought with correctional officers and destroyed property in the weeks before escaping from a maximum-security unit, where he had been transferred as punishment, according to records obtained by The Associated Press.

Convicted armed robber Justin Kestner, 25, kicked an officer in the chest with both feet during a June 12 outburst at the Iowa State Penitentiary

in Fort Madison, sending the officer into a door and injuring his arm, the documents obtained through the state’s open records law show. Two months earlier, he destroyed many of his cell’s fixtures during an outburst that ended when an officer sprayed him with chemicals.

“Someone is going to get hurt today and it’s gonna be one of you, bring in (an officer) and let him get a black eye,” Kestner said April 9 as he ripped brackets out of his cell walls and tried to use a

shelf to hit officers, records show.

Authorities have said it is fortunate Kestner was captured in Illinois hours after his escape Sunday without violence. His violent behavior behind bars underscores the safety risk he posed.

Kestner was serving time for robbing gas stations in Sioux City in 2009. He had lived in the A-Pod, where inmates are confined 23 hours a day for disciplinary and safety reasons, for less than a month before his escape.

Native American youth gather in DC for inaugural summit WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 875 Native American youths from across the nation are gathering Thursday in Washington, D.C., for a first-of-itskind summit called by the White House.

The teens, who represent 230 tribes, will meet with First Lady Michelle Obama and cabinet members to discuss a range of topics, including economic opportunity, education and cultural issues.

It’s part of Generation Indigenous, or Gen-I, a White House initiative that kicked off earlier this year with a brain-

storming session in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The initiative stems from a visit last year by the Obamas to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, which straddles the border between North Dakota and South Dakota. Meetings followed, cabinet members conducted listening tours, tribal youth were chosen as ambassadors, and a national network was formed.

The goal: to remove barriers that stand in the way of tribal youth reaching their potential.

Cecilia Munoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, said the president was moved after hearing about the challenges faced by children in North Dakota.

“He knows that the issues that he heard about are not isolated to Standing Rock,” Munoz said. “He was also really inspired by the talent and the courage of the Native youth he met to overcome their circumstances.”

Munoz said the event is about the teens and making sure they have an op-

portunity to be heard since they represent the next generation of leaders.

Participants are coming up with ideas to combat problems in their communities. For Miguel Wambli, 16, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, it’s creating a newspaper that will be fueled by Native students’ writings.

A string of seven suicides by teenagers in recent months has shaken the Pine Ridge Reservation, and close to 1,000 suicide attempts were recorded on the reservation over nearly 10 years.

Thursday: 10 things to know The Associated Press

Confederate flag’s days are numbered in South Carolina COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — More than 50 years after South Carolina raised a Confederate flag at its Statehouse to protest the civil rights movement, the state is getting ready to remove the rebel banner.

A bill pulling down the flag from the Capitol’s front lawn and the flagpole it flies on passed the South Carolina House early Thursday morning. It should get to Gov. Nikki Haley’s desk before the end of the day.

The governor promised to sign it quickly, but didn’t say exactly when. That’s important, because the bill requires the flag be taken down within 24 hours of her pen hitting the paper and shipped to

the Confederate Relic Room.

There were hugs, tears and high fives in the House chamber after the vote. Members who waited decades to see this day snapped selfies and pumped their fists. But even among the celebrations, there was more than a bit of sadness.

After the Civil War, the flag was first flown over the dome of South Carolina’s Capitol in 1961 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the war. It stayed as a protest to the Civil Rights movement, only moving in 2000 from the dome to its current location.

The push that would bring down the Confederate flag for good only started after nine black

churchgoers, including state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, were gunned down during Bible study at the historic Emanuel African Episcopal Church in Charleston on June 17. Police said the white gunman’s motivation was racial hatred. Then three days later, photos surfaced of the suspect, Dylann Roof, holding Confederate flags.

“I am 44 years old. I never thought I’d see this moment.

I stand with people who never thought they would see this as well,” said House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford, who called the victims martyrs. “It’s emotional for us not just because it came down, but why it came down.”

Eagles tag loss on Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DES MOINES — It just wasn’t their night on the ball diamond.

Newton High’s Cardinals did not play up to par, according to their head coach Dustin Brisel, in an 8-2 loss to host Saydel Wednesday.

“We didn’t execute offensively or defensively tonight,” Brisel said. “This is the first time all season, we just didn’t play our game.

We booted the ball around defensively and left runners on base. We usually do better than this.”

The Cardinals were locked in a 1-1 game with Saydel’s Eagles through three innings. Saydel (229), which in the top 12 of Class 3A, scored in the first inning and Newton countered with a run in the third.

With two gone, Drew Stout walked followed by back-to-back singles by Jeff Stanton and Duncan Lee producing the tying run for Newton.

The Eagles took advantage of a walk and a hit batter to manufacture two runs in the fourth. They added two more in the fifth after two outs were recorded. Up 5-1, Saydel plated three runs in the sixth.

Newton faced an 8-1 deficit in its final at-bat in regulation. Mike McCormick led off the seventh Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News by reaching on an error.

Making contact is Newton High sophomore Connor Gholson during a home game earlier this season. The CarBrennen Dodd singled, but dinals were on the road again Wednesday playing a non-conference game at Saydel, losing 8-2.

McCormick was tagged out trying to go from first to third on the play. Jordan Travis tripled home a run.

That was all the Cardinals could push across.

Travis also had a single in the game. The other Newton hits were a base hit each by Stout and Michael Barr.

Stanton was the starter on the mound for Newton and took the loss. He threw five innings, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks and striking out five.

McCormick pitched one inning, giving up one run on two hits and two walks.

Newton (15-10) plays at Dallas Center-Grimes Friday in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

Newton’s junior varsity scored 11 runs in the fourth inning to gain a 12-0 lead, but lost 13-12 to Saydel Wednesday. Each team had 10 hits, while Newton committed three errors and Saydel had two errors.

Tyler Stanton, Keith Steinbach and Derek Damman pitched for Newton. Tristan Peters and Trey Vanderlaan each had two singles. Grant Nook doubled. Hitting a single each were Damman, Tyler Stanton, Josh Gulling, Steinbach and Andrew Weiland.

The Cardinal junior varsity plays at Knoxville Thursday.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Rounding second base is Lynnville-Sully sophomore Lizzy Van Manen in Wednesday’s Class 1A Region 5 quarterfinal contest against Melcher-Dallas in Sully. The Hawks are known for aggressive play on the bases. They had seven stolen bases in the 10-0 win over the Saints in a five-inning contest. The fourth-ranked Hawks play a regional semifinal at home Friday.

Hawks soar into 1A regional semifinal contest

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Nothing much changes for teams facing Lynnville-Sully softball teams.

Offensively, the Hawks put pressure on teams with their small-ball mentality and aggressive base running.

Melcher-Dallas was the latest squad to fall victim to the Hawks’ style of play on the softball diamond. Class 1A fourth-ranked Lynnville-Sully opened Region 6 tournament play rolling to a 10-0 win in five innings Wednesday.

“Coming into this game, we knew we had to get our jobs done because it is win or go home,” said Lysandra James, senior center fielder. “We executed really well, scoring in every inning.”

The Hawks had back-to-

back two-run innings to begin the game, and went into the fourth inning up 5-0 on the visiting Saints. Lynnville-Sully manufactured five runs to lead 10-0.

All the Hawks had to do was retire the Saints in the top of the fifth, and they would be playing at home Friday in a regional semifinal contest.

No problem with senior Madison Rasmusson in the circle. Rasmusson had given up one hit — a long drive to center field by Melcher-Dallas’ Megan Roush, which tailed away from a running Lysandra James for a double in the fourth.

“We know our situations when we’re on defense. Executing well in the field was key for us tonight,” Riley Rockwell, senior right fielder, said.

Junior second baseman Kasiah Ehresman robbed the

Saints’ Kirsten Mull of a hit by snagging a line drive for the first out in the fifth. Gracie Mann fouled out to Hawk sophomore catcher Lizzy Van Manen, then Hallie Parker grounded out for the final out.

Lynnville-Sully (33-3) hosts No. 15 Martensdale-St. Marys for a 7 p.m. semifinal game Friday. Martensdale-St. Marys defeated Pleasantville, 15-5 in five innings Wednesday.

The winner of Friday’s game will play the winner of Wayne versus Murray for the Region 6 championship and a berth at the 1A state tournament. The regional title game is 7 p.m. Monday at Pleasantville.

“This is awesome and it makes me want to go to state even more than the past years,” Rockwell said following the game. “Tonight, we

didn’t have one of our big innings, but we don’t need that if we score in each inning. We stuck to our game plan.”

Lynnville-Sully’s game plan unfolded in the first innings when Lizzy Van Manen tripled to left center field.

Madison Rasmusson executed a squeeze bunt to bring in the run, reaching safely on an error. Madison Rasmusson stole second base and scored on a sacrifice fly by Lysandra James.

Haley James began the second inning hitting the ball hard, ending up on second because of a Saint error.

Rockwell delivered a sacrifice bunt, then a diving catch by Melcher-Dallas third baseman Kaylee Houston on a bunt in the air by sophomore Makenzy Rozendaal recorded the second out.

Ehresman beat out a bunt

for a single driving in Haley James. Ehresman stole second base and steamed all the way home on a Lizzy Van Manen single to center field.

“The girls work hard on their placement of hits and bunts, work hard on getting good jumps off bases and just playing the game all the way through plays,” said Stacey Alberts, Hawk head coach, of her players’ ability to bunt and run the bases well to put pressure on opponents.

Alberts said Melcher-Dallas’ Emillie Krpan was a good eighth-grade pitcher, who had a lot of strikeouts in the Saints’ regional opening win over Montezuma. Alberts said the Lynnville-Sully hitters did a good job of making Krpan bring her pitches into the Hawks’ hitting zone.

Jordan spurns Mavericks, will return to Clippers DALLAS (AP) — DeAndre Jordan gave the Dallas Mavericks his word. Then he gave the Los Angeles Clippers his signature.

After a Clippers contingent including Blake Griffin, J.J. Redick, Paul Pierce and Doc Rivers descended on Jordan’s home in Houston on Wednesday night for a last-ditch push to keep their defensive pillar, Jordan backed out of a verbal agreement with the Mavericks to stay with the only NBA home he’s ever had.

The Clippers announced Jordan’s deal late Wednesday night.

It’s a four-year pact worth more than $87 million, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. The terms, first reported by USA Today, include a player option after the third season.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team was not releasing contract details.

The Clippers also sent out a tweet welcoming Jordan back to Los Angeles.

“WE’RE OFFICIALLY CENTERED,” the tweet read.

Jordan initially agreed to a four-year deal worth more than $80 million to leave the Clippers after seven seasons and join the Mavericks. But that was last Friday, and the contract could not be signed until 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday, according to NBA rules.

Kahler earned the win in the circle as she allowed three hits and struck out 10.

Raiders cruise to win in rematch with Trojans

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STATE CENTER — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s softball team may be catching fire at the right time.

The Raiders came into Wednesday’s Class 2A Region 6 opener winners of seven of their last eight games, and they cracked the rankings for the first time this season on Tuesday.

Schmitz It’s safe to say that confidence is pretty high right now and CMB set up a rematch with Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont following its 7-0 road win over West Marshall.

Sophomore pitcher Abbey Kahler allowed only three hits and struck out 10 in the circle, junior Payge Jurgens blasted two solo home runs and senior MacKenzie Schmitz reached base four times in the shutout win.

It was the second win over the Trojans this year and the second straight season the Raiders have ended West Marshall’s season.

CMB defeated the Trojans 4-3 in eight innings back on June 9 and eliminated them with a 5-4 victory in the opening round of last year’s playoffs.

“This team had to find its identity. We struggled with that early in the year. The Ballard loss was our turning point,” said Houge in reference to the late win streak. “We were in that game and should have won it. Our goal at that point was to not lose another game. They took that to heart. I know we lost one in there, but Greene County is ranked in 3A, and we had them on the ropes.

“We have played a lot of tough teams. And with hard work, we have found our identity and they know they can play with anyone.

The confidence is there and that been the difference over this final stretch of games.”

The Raiders play at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont at 7 p.m. Friday. The Rockets are ranked second and are the defending 2A runner-ups, but CMB played them to a 3-1 game in last year’s playoffs.

Houge hopes for another close one Friday, with a different result.

“We got some revenge now.

They are a really good team. They are ranked second for a reason, but I think we are right there with them and I think we play a tougher schedule,” Houge said. “So if we come out and play like we did tonight, it should be a fun night on Friday. Hopefully, this time around, we’re the one with the base hit to win it at the end.”

The Rockets (30-6) advanced to Friday’s regional semifinals with a 5-1 win over Pekin.

CMB’s first four hitters combined for eight hits and seven RBIs against West Marshall. Jurgens was 3-for-4 with two homers, Schmitz had three hits, including a double, two RBIs and a walk and Megan Ritter was 2-for-3 with three RBIs as the 2A No. 13 Raiders broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning

and finished off the Trojans (12-18) with a four-run sixth inning.

It didn’t take much offense to win though. Kahler scattered three hits, stranded five runners on base and fanned 10 in improving to 1711 on the season.

The sophomore transfer from Ballard was at her best when West Marshall had runners on base, using strikeouts to get herself out of jams in the first and fourth innings.

The Trojans put two runners on with one out in the first. Nicole Riemenschneider led off the game with a walk and Katie Price reached on an infield single. Brooke Snider’s sacrifice bunt moved the runners up a base, but Kahler ended the threat with a strikeout.

Kahler struck out the side in the second and the CMB got a big double play to end the third. In the fourth, Price registered a lead-off walk and Sadie Samatovich reached on a bunt single with two outs. But once again, Kahler got a swinging strikeout to leave two more Trojans on the bases.

She got the Trojans in order in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.

“My rise ball was really on tonight, and I had a good change-up, too,” Kahler said. “I wish my bat was on more this game, but I am proud of how I pitched. I started slow because I was nervous, but I ended it well.”

Schmitz and Ritter broke a scoreless game with RBI singles in the fourth. Jurgens led off the fifth with a no-doubt home run to left-center field and then she blasted her eighth of the season in the sixth when the Raiders (19-14) blew the game open.

It was the first multi-homer game of Jurgens’ career.

“That was the hardest home run that I have ever hit,” Jurgens said of the sixth-inning blast. “I wasn’t sure it was going to get over the fence, but I was excited when it cleared it. We started off slow tonight, but once we scored, I felt confident that we were going to win.”

Schmitz took advantage of a West Marshall outfield that played her shallow all night long. She found holes in the defense with all three of her hits and the double she laced in the third inning nearly rolled all the way to the fence before it was touched.

“I usually look when I get up to the plate where the defense is positioned,” Schmitz said. “If they are in, I need to drive it, and if they are back, then I need to keep it in or bunt and the outfielders were up so it needed to go.

“I don’t want the season to be over yet, and if we needed someone to step up I was just trying to be that person to help us get this win.”

Notebook The Raiders defeated West Marshall 5-4 in the first round of the playoffs last year. … EBF defeated Pekin 5-1 in its regional quarterfinal Wednesday. … Ritter injured her knee when she over-slid third base in the sixth. She was removed from the game, but Houge is unsure of her status moving forward.

Rachel Freland started in the circle and got the win for PCM. She allowed two hits and struck out four in three innings. Jennings threw the final two innings and surrendered two hits, one unearned run and struck out three.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Pinch hitting in the fourth inning, Lynnville-Sully senior Bayli Van Manen drove a pitch into right field for a two-run single for the final margin of victory, 10-0, in Wednesday’s regional quarterfinal in Sully.

Lysandra James pounded out a double to left field to begin the third inning for the Hawks, and Shelby Foster came in as a courtesy runner.

Foster swiped third base and scored on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Brenna Lanser.

“Defensively, we were very solid again tonight. We made some nice plays in the field,” Alberts said. “Madison continues to do a nice job on the mound and Lizzy is doing the same behind the plate. Our girls showed discipline at the plate and we put the ball in play hard, especially when we had runners in scoring position.”

Roush’s double with two outs in the top of the fourth broke up Rasmusson’s bid for a no-hitter. The Hawk senior responded by striking out Houston.

The wheels came off for the Saint defense in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Ehresman had another bunt single and stole second base. Lizzy Van Manen hit a sacrifice fly on which Ehresman tagged up and went to third base

forcing a high throw by the Saints. Alberts sent Ehresman home to score on the error. Madison Rasmusson ended up on third base on an error by a Saint outfielder on a fly ball.

Another dropped fly ball scored a run and allowed Lysandra James reach safely. Lanser and Maria Rasmusson had back-to-back singles to load the bases. A passed ball sent Lysandra James home and the other runners to move up a base.

Senior Bayli Van Manen entered as a pinch hitter. She delivered a two-run single to right field for the final runs of the game.

Lizzy Van Manen had a single and a triple and Lanser hit a single and a double in the game. Ehresman had two singles and Lysandra James doubled. Hitting a single each were Maria Rasmusson, Haley James and Bayli Van Manen.

“We are just going to keep playing our game,” Lysandra James said about Friday’s game. “Whoever we play, we want to keep their hitters off balance and play solid defense.”

Federer, Murray in Wimbledon showdown; Djokovic gets Gasquet LONDON (AP) — Roger Federer and Andy Murray ran into each other Wednesday morning in the champions’ locker room at the All England Club, then walked together over to the practice area to prepare — on adjacent courts — for their respective quarterfinals later in the day.

“We weren’t chatting about anything. It was just, ‘Hey, how you doing?’ Nothing interesting,” Murray recounted.

“We get on well. But obviously, on Friday — different story.”

Yes, they’ll meet up again Friday, only the setting will be far different and things might be a tad less cordial, because the two past Wimbledon titlists face each other at Centre Court in the semifinals.

The No. 2-seeded Federer is closing in on his record eighth trophy at the grasscourt tournament; No. 3 Murray’s 2013 championship was the first for a British man at Wimbledon in 77 years.

Federer

Murray

Plus, they have history on this particular patch of grass.

In 2012, Federer won his 17th — and, to date, last — Grand Slam title by beating Murray in the Wimbledon final. A few weeks later, also at Centre Court, Murray repaid the favor, beating Federer for the singles gold medal at the London Games.

“We both like to look back at that summer,” said Federer, who is 12-11 against Murray. “Me, not so much at the Olympics; him, probably not so much at Wimbledon.”

Both advanced in quarterfinals slowed only by a pair

of rain delays. Federer’s 116hold streak in service games, dating to his previous tournament, ended, but that was merely a blip during a 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 victory over No. 12 Gilles Simon of France.

Murray was hardly troubled at all by a weary Vasek Pospisil of Canada and won 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 in a match that finished with the retractable roof closed at Center Court, in front of an audience that included Prince William and his wife Kate.

Another past champion, No. 1 Novak Djokovic, also barely was tested, eliminating No. 9 Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to improve to 13-0 against the 2014 U.S. Open winner.

Djokovic, who won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014, plays No. 21 Richard Gasquet of France next. Gasquet emerged from the most compelling quarterfinal — featuring two beautiful one-handed backhands — with a 6-4, 4-6,

Reds’ Frazier, rookies Bryant, Pederson in Home Run Derby NEW YORK (AP) — The Reds’ Todd Frazier is paired with two-time champion Prince Fielder of Texas in the first round of Monday’s AllStar Home Run Derby in Cincinnati.

In this year’s new format, Chicago Cubs rookie Kris Bryant is in a pairing with the Los Angeles Angels’ Albert Pujols, Toronto’s Josh Donaldson is in a bracket with the Chicago Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo, and Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson takes on Baltimore’s Manny Machado.

The Frazier-Fielder winner faces Donaldson or Rizzo, and the Bryant-Pujols winner goes against Pederson or Machado.

Brackets were based on season home run totals through Tuesday.

Each batter gets five minutes per round, and home runs in each batter’s final minute stop the clock. Players can earn up to 1 minute, 30 seconds of bonus time based on home run distance.

“Swinging for five minutes, that’s going to be a really long time. Really long,” Pederson said.

“Hopefully I don’t have to go first and I can watch how some of the veterans go about it.”

Pederson has selected Triple-A coach Johnny Washington to pitch to him.

“He’s been with me since Day 1,” he said. “It’s only appropriate that he gets to come along and gets to share in this event, see how far we’ve come together.”

Bryant said his father, Mike, will throw to him.

Mike Bryant taught Kris to hit at a young age, passing along the lessons he learned from Ted Williams during the two spring trainings he was a Boston Red Sox farmhand in the early 1980s.

“I’m probably doing it more for him so he can experience it with me,” Kris Bryant said Wednesday. “We always talked about it growing up and now it’s here.”

Bryant thinks Rizzo may have an advantage at Great American Ball Park.

“Cincinnati’s a pretty good left-handed hitter’s ballpark,” Bryant said. “Hopefully, I win it, but if he wins, that’s great, too.”

Fielder won the derby in 2009 and 2012. He will be participating for the sixth time, matching Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa, and trailing only Ken Griffey Jr. and Mark McGwire.

Injury forces Rory McIlroy out of the British Open The Associated Press Rory McIlroy pulled out of the British Open at St. Andrews on Wednesday with an ankle injury, the first time in 61 years the defending champion will not be playing.

McIlroy made the announcement by posting a photo on Instagram that showed his left ankle in an air cast, propped up as he watched Wimbledon on television. That will be his only view of St. Andrews next

week, a blow to the world’s No. 1 player and to the oldest championship in golf.

McIlroy said he ruptured a ligament in his left ankle over the weekend while playing soccer with friends in Northern Ireland.

3-6, 6-4, 11-9 win over No. 4 Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland.

“It was great to watch them go backhand-to-backhand today,” said Djokovic, who is 11-1 against Gasquet. “Some great points, great exchanges.”

Until Gasquet dropped to his back at the baseline when French Open champion Wawrinka’s last backhand sailed long, it appeared this might be the first Wimbledon semifinals in 20 years involving men seeded 1-4.

Gasquet truly is an interloper, the only remaining man without a major title. Never been to a final, even.

“I’m the worst,” Gasquet said with a smirk, “when you see Federer, Djokovic and Murray and me.”

He’ll be in his third Grand Slam semifinal. Djokovic, in contrast, owns eight major championships and reached his 27th major semifinal, sixth in a row at Wimbledon.

“Obviously,” Djokovic said,

“the experience of being in these final stages of Wimbledon many times is going to help me.”

Imagine how Federer feels.

He’s into his 10th Wimbledon semifinal (he’s 9-0) and 37th at all majors (25-11).

“I’m very proud of my achievements here, don’t get me wrong,” said Federer, who turns 34 on Aug. 8. “But it’s not like something I walk around, beating my chest, saying, like, ‘I’m great here.’”

Federer, runner-up to Djokovic last year, needed only 95 minutes to dispatch Simon. The most noteworthy moment came when Federer served for the second set at 5-4. Up to then, Federer had won all 67 games he’d served the past two weeks, following 49 in a row at a tuneup tournament in Halle, Germany.

Simon broke Federer at love, looked to the guest box and shook his right fist.

“Played a perfect game,” Simon would say later.

Astrograph

John Keats said, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” and yet the very nature of beauty is temporal. It goes through ugly stages to get there, is there for a moment and then it fades.

What’s really everlasting is not the “thing” itself, but the moment it’s seen as beautiful.

With the lunar turn from Aries to Taurus, commit the fleeting moment to eternal memory.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (JULY 9). Your solar return will shed light on the illusions that kept you back in the past. There is no glass ceiling to break, so sail up, all the way to your dreams. Your muses are working overtime in August, so be

ready to capture the ideas that pop into your head. September sends you across an ocean.

October brings a windfall.

Pisces and Scorpio adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 6, 16, 28, 1 and 42.

The conversation will also illuminate truth and dispel falsehood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you’re worried about what you’re going to say and how you’re going to behave it only means that you’re still discovering who you are.

Don’t worry so much.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The Zen state of detachment is a liberation of the soul. How will you know when you’ve achieved detachment? You’ll be laughing about the very thing you once cried over.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll turn a mundane practice into an elegant art. It seems there’s nothing that can’t be made a little better by the quality of attention you bring to it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When the voice of fear pipes up, don’t ignore it -- converse with it. Probably there is some valuable protection it can offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The one who has helped you in the past needs your help now, but perhaps doesn’t know it. This chance to assist is another op-

portunity to expand your heart and deepen your soul.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Good and evil often go masquerading as normal, everyday choices. One definition of evil: any choice that leads you away from being the best you can be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Overly confident people annoy you, mostly because they are more concerned with their status than they are with reality.

It sometimes takes a moment of doubt, or the fear of losing, to help us understand what we have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your recollection may be somewhat foggy, but that will work in your favor. Your mem-

ory is kind and positive. Happy memories will get better over time and bad memories will lose their sting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The life lessons of the day fall into the category of advanced placement. The fact that you’re getting this on your plate means you’re among the best and brightest. The thing that’s hard to learn will be sweet to know.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Unreasonable goals are sometimes attained. If you’re going to make unreasonable goals (and ambitious people like you usually do) then resolve not to let yourself get discouraged when you fall short.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The odds may appear to be stacked against you, but that never deterred you before, neither should it now. The little guy (SET ITAL) can (END ITAL) win. You’ve seen it happen and you’ve made it happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Religious and cultural matters need to be treated with reverence, especially if the subject is not your specific religion or culture. Much trouble will be avoided by honoring what others consider sacred.
