rendan Hill, drummer for the Grammy Award-winning rock band Blues Traveler, said jazz was a big musical influence in the band’s formative years. But he doesn’t mind a little metal — at least the steel from his 1970 Chevelle.

Hill and the other four members of Blues Traveler — vocalist/ harmonicist John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, bassist Tad Kinchla and keyboardist Ben Wilson — will headline the Pork Party Pavilion stage Friday night as part of the NAPA Auto Parts Concert Series at Iowa Speedway. The group will take the stage approximately one hour after the conclusion of the 150-lap ARCA Racing Series presented

by Menards.

“We are big race fans. I don’t get to take the car out as much as I’d like, so we’re looking forward to seeing the race Friday night and playing for such a good crowd,” Hill said. “Race fans are usually great music fans. The two tie in very well together, so we’re looking forward to the event.”

Friday’s Blues Traveler concert, following the 150-lap ARCA Racing Series presented

by Menards, will be free-ofcharge to fans with a ticket to either the Friday ARCA race or Saturday IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300. Tickets for both the Vocalist and harmonicist John Popper and Hill started Blues Traveler as a New Jersey “basement band” originally called “The Establishment” after meeting in high school in 1983. Chan Kinchla joined the band in 1985 and original bassist Bobby Sheehan joined in 1986. Popper and Hill began attending the progressive arts institution The New School in central Manhattan. It was there, and in the small bars and clubs of Greenwich Village, that Blues Traveler developed what would eventually become its chart-topping style.

“It was a great time. We were able to use The New School as kind of our practice room,” Hill said. “One of the great advantages to that was there were a lot of

Blues Traveler came of age at a time when grunge bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam were also beginning their movement on the west coast. Although their music was more improvisational and melodic in its routes, Hill said jam band musicians of the early to mid-1990s were pigeon holed and lumped together. Led Zeppelin, one of Blues Travelers many inspirations, played familiar sets nightly, but Hill said it never quite sounded the same and attributed that to guitarist Jimmy Paige’s improvisational chops.

COLFAX – Henry Zuidema has been attending the Jasper County Fair with his wife and kids for 50 years, but this summer he will be featured in the fair’s parade as the grand marshal.

Zuidema has been a familiar face at the fair over the years, being on the board for 10 years and even taking the role as Jasper County Fair leader for more than five years.

It’s been nearly a decade since Zuidema has been involved with the fair, but he was honored to have Jerry Elscott, Jasper County Fair treasurer, ask him to be this year’s grand marshal.

“I was in Sully one day and Jerry said ‘hey come out here a minute.’ OK, now what.

And he said ‘well you’ve been connected to the

fair for a long time and how would you like to be grand marshal this year?’ Well it would be an honor,” Zuidema said.

As grand marshal, Zuidema will be in the lead car with his wife during the parade, which is set for 7 p.m.

Monday.

“That will be the big thing – the parade. You get a minute of glory and then it’s all over,” he said. “But it’s an honor for sure.”

Zuidema is a Sully resident and has been since he was 9 years old, living just west of Kilduff, and is still residing in the house he built 60 years ago.

He and his wife, Betty, raised three children in that house — all of whom currently live in the area. The Zuidemas also have five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Colfax man remains at-large following vehicle theft Eight law enforcement entities respond

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Authorities are still searching for a Colfax man accused of a vehicle theft from the Red Rock Marina Wednes-

day.

Charles W. Cheek III, 48, is believed to be the driver of the vehicle involved in the theft.

Officers Cheek were called about a motor vehicle theft in Marion County at 1:05 p.m. and identified a red Dodge

Ram on cameras. The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office then received a call of a suspicious red Dodge Ram truck at a storage unit located at Highway 14 and Highway F-62 and responded to the scene at 1:40 p.m.

Twenty minutes later, a Jasper County deputy came across the suspicious vehicle in Colfax and attempted to stop it. A passenger exited the vehicle and was taken

into custody.

He was identified as Chad Cheek, 43, of Colfax.

The driver, who is believed to be Charles Cheek, eluded police and later abandoned his vehicle in Colfax. The stolen vehicle was recovered in rural Jasper County.

Both suspects have multiple charges out of Marion County. If you have any information about the location of Charles Cheek, authorities

ask you to contact the Marion County Sheriff ’s Office at 641-828-2220. The Monroe Police Department, Prairie City Police Department, Colfax Police Department, Baxter Police Department, Iowa State Patrol, Iowa State Patrol Aircraft unit and MINE Task Force also assisted.

Vegetable surplus: summer squash

By Jenny Thompson Skiff Medical Center It’s that time of year again — gardens are producing a bountiful supply of fresh vegetables. One veggie typically in surplus is summer squash.

Summer squash has a more delicate taste and a thinner rind than winter squash varieties. It comes in a variety of types including yellow crookneck and straightneck that are usually yellow in color, scallop squashes shaped like saucers and zucchini, which is easily distinguished by its green color.

Summer squash doesn’t usually make the list of food superstars but that doesn’t mean they lack nutritional value.

Summer squash is a good source of antioxidants called carotenoids that help to protect cells against free radical damage and fight inflammation. Although it contains modest amounts of wellknown carotenoids, beta-carotene and alpha-carotene, it’s a good source of three other less common ones — zeaxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin and lutein. These antioxidants are excellent when it comes to protecting your vision from eye problems like macular degeneration and cataracts.

Because the antioxidants in summer squash fight free radical damage and inflammation, eating them regularly may lower the risk

of diseases linked with inflammation like cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

A cup of summer squash supplies only 20 calories, 4 grams of carbohydrate and 1 gram of fiber and a third of a day’s requirement for vitamin C. Summer squash is also a good source of B-vitamins and potassium and magnesium, two minerals that help to regulate blood pressure.

US seeks to block sales of Iowa firm’s dietary supplements CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — An Iowa company has been selling potentially unsafe dietary supplements and falsely advertising them as treatments for diseases ranging from colds to cancer, the federal government alleged Friday.

Iowa Select Herbs manufactures its dietary supplements in conditions that cannot ensure safety and promotes them as medical cures even though they have never been found safe and effective for such purposes, the

U.S. Department of Justice alleged in a civil complaint.

The enforcement action asks a judge to block the Cedar Rapids-based company from introducing adulterated and misbranded drugs into interstate commerce.

Iowa Select Herbs makes nearly 200 supplements that it sells to consumers and wholesalers across the U.S., mainly through its website and others such as eBay and Amazon. It also has a retail store at its headquarters in Cedar

Co-owner Lois Dotterweich declined to comment on the Justice Department’s allegations. She referred questions to her husband, co-owner Gordon Freeman, who wasn’t immediately available. Both are named as defendants along with the company.

The drummer said Blues Traveler is five musical tastes coming together, Jimmy Small taking cues from jazz and experimenting with improvisation.

“All the bands that came up in the 90s on the east coast got put into that category,” Hill said. “We were all fans of live, improvised music, weather it was jazz or rock or Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin. ... you get sort of the different schools of where people came from. ... that’s what was great about The New School. They were trying to create musicians that made their own sound and became their own players. I think that’s what a lot of bands like Phish and Spin Doctors all sort of made their own musical style which is very different than each other but can be put together in that jam band theme.”

During Friday’s Iowa Speedway performance, Hill said their set list will win fans over early by playing songs such as “Hook”

Zuidema Continued from Page 1A Betty said they couldn’t have it any better with their family living so close to home and they love going to the fair with them each year.

Henry Zuidema and his family have been involved in 4-H, being a part of the 4-H Kilduff Hotshots club and being around animals their whole lives, which is why the entire family makes an effort to share the experience in Colfax each summer.

“It’s the atmosphere.

and “Run Around” — their recognizable crowd pleasers — plus tracks from their new album “Blow up the Moon.”

For their latest release, Hill credits producers from their management firm UD Factory with encouraging Blues Traveler to create a collaboration album. Hill said it’s part of a continuous reinvention for the band.

“By bringing us together with actual full bands like 3OH!3, Dirty Heads, The Plain White T’s and Hanson, we’re putting us in a room together with a full other band and not just a producer. You get that kind of organic song writing … it becomes much more of a group writing session … what came out was not Blues Traveler or Plain White T’s or Blues Traveler and Jewel. It sounded like something different.”

Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said Blues Traveler will bridge two days of racing, which includes Saturday’s INDYCAR Series Iowa Corn 300 at 7:50 p.m.

Small said Blues Traveler fit in with the 2015 concert series progression from county to hard rock which has included John Michael Montgomery, Finger Eleven and will conclude with tribute band Rock Godz following the July 31 the NASCAR K&N Pro Series race. But Small said, truth be told, his Blues Traveler fandom might have had a bit to do with booking the group.

That’s about it and all the farm related stuff there,” Zuidema said.

“After all, for the kids this is their big climax of the year, showing cattle and all that stuff. We’ve been to the county fair since the boys were 10 years old and they’re just about 59, so that’s almost 50 years.”

Henry Zuidema said he is amazed at how the Jasper County Fair has evolved since it first moved to Colfax.

“What a change.

season, they’re really a good crossover between folk and country, rock and alternative.

I think the sound coming from Blues Traveler is something that everyone will enjoy,” Small said. “There are a lot of songs that, I don’t think anyone would argue against this, are classics from the 1990s. Blues Traveler really complements the talent we’ll have here Friday and Saturday on the race track.

But being honest, I definitely had something to do with it.”

they have rabbits and all these kind of projects for town kids, photography and Legos. You name it,” he said. “That’s been the biggest change. They’ve expanded so much.”

During Zuidema’s time on the fair board, he remembers late nights and hours of discussion to help improve the fair every summer. However, he said he enjoyed his time working with other fair members.

Someone to lean on

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | July 16, 2015

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Oct. 2, 2014 To my grandfather, my fullsize upright bass was interchangeable with a number of other instruments in the orchestra. From the time I picked up the instrument through my final day of high school, Grandpa would holler with a crooked smile, “Load up your ‘violin,’ ‘guitar,’ ‘cello,’ or ‘harmonica’” as he pulled his Ford F-150 into my gravel driveway before every rehearsal.

Ask anyone in my family and they’ll say Grandpa’s tongue-incheek sense of humor was not just an expression but a visible part of his trademark grin — with his tongue pushing out his lower lip as he gave a loved one “the business.”

Grandpa was —and still is — a work horse. As a child, the first phrase I remember my him saying was “I’ll take care of it,” so it was no surprise to me when he agreed to help with my re-

cent move — driving his truck a 60-mile round trip to make sure I was settled. Absurdity not withstanding, his help delivering a three panel, 10-foot long canvas painting of a Viking to a Colfax antique dealer was also no shocker. He jumps up when called upon. That’s just Grandpa.

Although stairs are a struggle, Grandpa still made the climb into my new apartment checking the quality of the new construction. Grandpa is a perfectionist and spent his life in handy-man style jobs. He analyzed flooring, sink installation and drywall quality to make sure I didn’t rent a lemon. Although I knew the place was quality, Grandpa had to see it for himself. He approved.

Grandpa attended nearly every jazz/orchestra concert during my formative years. At baseball games his truck cab was his bleacher, and he fixed every broken down car in the family. As a financially questionable

young professional with student loan debt, Grandpa shakes my hand before leaving every family function with Andrew Jackson or Ulysses S. Grant concealed in his palm. With my Grandma on his team, he took care of his mother-in-law, cousin-in-law and baby sister until their passing — calling them every day, cleaning windows and going grocery shopping. He never asks for anything in return. Although virtuous in front of me and his grandkids, Grandpa fought demons in his youth. His famous temper and constantly evolving struggle with racial prejudice are no secret in our family.

Now approaching his 81st birthday on Oct. 5, Grandpa’s mental drive to lead every family challenge refuses to waiver, but his knees, back and legs are keeping him from the forefront.

He playfully — but not so jokingly — reminds me whenever we get together he’s “on his way out.”

Grandpa’s urge to maintain rel-

evancy is not unique to many people of is generation, but to a grandson who has always been able to count on the assistance of this real-life Superman, finally seeing signs of his biological age is difficult to stomach. It puts in place the realization of my own mortality.

In quintessentially Bob Mendenhall style, Grandpa has only slowed his life to what’s physically necessary. He showed his continued vitality this summer, taking a road trip with Grandma to the Black Hills in South Dakota.

Their last visit to the area — heavy with national monuments — was during 9/11, when they were met at the entrance of Mt. Rushmore National Park by soldiers with assault rifles guarding the faces.

Since their denial, Grandpa was bound and determined to return.

My Grandpa — with Grandma Sylvia Mendenhall as his ally — will never quit.

Letter to the Editor

Say no to the Bakken pipeline We, the undersigned, care deeply about leaving our precious farmland, water and world better than it is, for our children and future generations. So, we have concerns about the proposed Bakken Oil pipeline. We are less concerned with politics than with the process and ramifications of the proposed project.

Concerns: 1. TRUST: Bakken and its contractors have used scandalous tactics to secure easements. Will those in control of this pipeline keep their agreements?! Will they conduct business in a responsible manner? Their tactics indicate no.

2. PRESUMPTION: The stockpiling of pipe northeast of Newton, prior to any official approval, is a red flag. Is the project already a go but, we, the affected public and landowners, know nothing? Taxpayers don’t deserve to be left with the financial fallout, when (not if ) something goes wrong.

3. LEAKS: Oil and gas pipelines leak; it is irresponsible to knowingly risk the health of our

land, water and our children’s natural legacy. One need only Google pipeline leaks and accidents to learn of the many accidents and spills. Solution: stop incentivizing dirty energy technologies; incentivize renewable solar and wind.

4. EMINENT DOMAIN: How is the greater good being served? Why should Iowans accept the taking of our lands for the gain of a few stockholders, especially when so much is at risk? We must demand that businesses and individuals act as responsible and attentive land stewards.

5. JOBS: The potential of 25 full-time jobs in Iowa after 2-year construction period is not nearly enough long-term gain to justify the possible irreversible damage to our farmland and watersheds. And, where is this dirty crude oil bound? Illinois, then on to markets overseas! Iowans care enough to take the long view, not indulge in short-term thinking.

6. PRECAUTION: Those with monetary interests are not the only stakeholders in this proposed project. Our Iowa waters are already severe-

ly stressed from contaminants; the Bakken Pipeline would cut across EVERY major watershed in Iowa.

We respectfully request that our elected officials and the Iowa Utilities Board hear our cries for common sense. Please say no to the Bakken Oil pipeline. We Iowans are resourceful enough to figure out how to finance our budgetary needs, create jobs, conduct business and serve our citizens without damaging the very land and water that sustains us.

On my morning Buddy walk with Ginnie, what did my eyes spy across t h e tracks f r o m t h e Amtrak Station, in what u s e d to be a laund r o - By Curt Swarm mat? I Guest Columnist w a s n’t sure. But there seemed to be a drive-up window with a hand-lettered sign offering coffee, cinnamon rolls, pop, etc. There was also a front door with a couple of outdoor tables and chairs. A sign above the door proclaimed “Coffee Depot.” What in tarnation?

I shortened Buddy’s leash and walked in.

Holy moley, guacamole, the room was filled with about a dozen women sitting in a circle having coffee.

“This the new coffee-klatch place?” I asked.

“Nope. Birthday party,” one lady chimed.

I looked around. On the walls were displayed old train and depot pictures, signs, and RR paraphernalia.

There were plug-in stations for electrical devices, spare chargers, and unique coffee-bean covered electrical outlets. What a scream!

I went up to the counter and ordered French vanilla coffee for Ginnie, hazelnut for myself, and a couple of (to-die-for) warm, gooey cinnamon rolls, with quarter-inch thick frosting. Ginnie and I then sat outside and enjoyed the morning and our unplanned breakfast.

Buddy couldn’t believe his good fortune—a walk and treat!

The Coffee Depot is the brain child of Randy Stroud, owner of Z’s Quick Break in Mt. Pleasant, and Cole Duke, Branch Manager of the U.S. Bank in Mt. Pleasant. Cole is the numbers guy (bean counter—ha, ha), and Randy is the salesper-

son. Their store manager is Patti Roth. It seems Randy and his wife were going to Chicago one day, and the train was late, of course. They were looking at the vacant building across the tracks and thinking it would be the perfect place to have coffee and wait for the train. Randy Stroud and Cole Duke are friends on the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber Alliance. Randy mentioned his idea to Cole.

Cole said, “Count me in.”

The Coffee Depot quietly opened its doors about a week previous to my visit, but will have a grand opening and ribbon cutting in the near future. Their intention is to offer coffee, food, refreshments and WiFi to people getting on and off Amtrak, and to serve the people of the surrounding community. With their location across the tracks from the train depot, one block from the middle school, and one block from Iowa Wesleyan College (now University), I’d say they may be a coffee-high success. It doesn’t get anymore Americana than this, folks: coffee plus Amtrak equals economy moving full steam ahead!

Besides all the coffee flavors, the Coffee Depot offers lattes, espressos, cappuccinos, and something called “cold-brew” coffee—what we here in the Midwest might call ice-coffee, but is much more complex and very popular with the Seattle-and-Chicago coffee-house crowd. Randy, Cole, Patti and the help have attended mixology class. Butch Biddle of Butch’s River Rock Cafe in Oakland Mills supplies the cinnamon rolls and other fresh-baked goodies. There’s a nice selection of sandwiches, dogs, popcorn, and even ribeye sandwiches on special occasions from Z’s Quick Break. Store hours are from 6 a.m. to 1 or 2 p.m., or whenever the train comes in, seven days a week. Even the church goers can stop in for a caffeine-buzz.

tentially her mother as well. The doctors stated that normally when a placental abruption occurs, it is symptomless and a mother finds out at her next ultrasound that there is no heartbeat.

The doctors said this rare symptom “is like a miracle.”

After Marie was born, the doctors discovered her umbilical cord was severely disintegrated and they wondered how Marie survived in utero as long as she did and again stated “it’s a miracle.” Both babies were admitted to the NICU. As Marie’s mother, Major Atkinson — a U.S. Marine Officer, entered her 6 weeks (42 days) of Department of Defense authorized convalescent (medical) leave used to spend with a new child and recover from childbirth, she asked, “When Anna (the surviving twin) is released from the NICU, will I be allowed time with my child just as other mothers are who typically take their babies home in the normal six week period?

Can I stop the six week clock now that I am healed and use the remainder of the six weeks when Anna is released?”

Marie’s mother was told, “Nothing in the current policy allows you time with your baby when she is released from the hospital outside of the normal 6 weeks, which must

be used consecutively and cannot be broken apart. Males get 10 days of paternity leave when the child is released from the hospital. There is no such thing as maternity leave in the Department of Defense. You get six weeks of convalescent (medical) leave just for giving birth, which most women use to spend with their new baby.

After Anna’s release in a few months, you will have to burn annual leave (personal vacation time).”

Marie’s mother then began submitting written correspondence to Headquarters Marine Corps to include those responsible for the Marine Corps and Navy pregnancy and leave policy and also to her colleagues who meet with the Secretary of the Navy.

Marie’s mother pointed out that: 1) the current policy in effect for decades is insufficient for families whose babies are not released from the hospital during the normal 6 week convalescent leave period and will need time to adjust to life at home — especially those babies released from critical condition; 2) there is no such thing as maternity leave when a child is released from the hospital, but there’s paternity leave, and 3) when the 6 weeks of medical/convalescent leave are complete, mothers with NICU babies need to be at the NICU to touch and hold their children which has been medically and physiologically proven

to help babies turn very critical medical corners of progress which medicine cannot do ... called Kangaroo Care. Major Atkinson requested an unprecedented change to the current policy in place for the entire Department of Defense.

Marie’s mother’s efforts were effective. On July 2, 2015, via ALNAV message 053/15, the Secretary of the Navy changed the pregnancy (maternity) and convalescent leave policy effective immediately from six weeks of leave to 18 weeks (126 days) for all Navy and Marine Corps women who give birth. This change now allows Navy and Marine Corps females who give birth 84 days (three months) of convalescent leave plus an additional six weeks of new maternity leave. This leave can now be taken at any time in the child’s first year of life and does not have to be used consecutively. In addition, the Secretary of the Navy made the policy retroactive to Jan. 1, 2015, for this family.

As a result of this change, the Army and Air Force are now looking to change their policies and ladies who were going to separate from the Navy and Marine Corps to spend more time with their babies are pulling back their separation packages. Civilian employers are also now reviewing their maternity leave policies as well.

Feb. 4, 2015 Marie, Jan. 30, 2015Feb. 4, 2015, a twin, passed away peacefully in her mother’s arms after five days in the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Her death was caused by pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) as a result of being born 4 months premature at 1 pound, 1 ounce and 10.5 inches long. In utero, Marie enjoyed sucking her thumb and tucking herself in the corner while her twin sister did aerobics.

After being born, Marie crossed her toes and wrinkled her forehead like Daddy and fought her condition to squeeze her parents’ fingers.

While resting at home, Marie’s mother started bleeding and went to the hospital.

As a result of this rare symptom, Marie’s mother made it just in time before Marie’s heart beat could no longer be detected and both girls were taken by emergency c-section. The doctors told Marie’s mother that this symptom typically occurs only in cases of blunt force trauma to the abdomen, but this was not the case; Marie’s mother was watching television. Without this rare symptom, Marie would’ve passed in utero and since her mother’s next appointment was three weeks later, her twin sister (Anna) would have also died in utero from infection and po-

He was born June 14, 1 9 5 1 , in Spencer to Bernard and Vivolyn (Toomsen) Keninger. He attended the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School in Vinton, before graduating in 1970. After high school, he attended Northwest Iowa Vocational School in Sheldon, where he learned

her from infection, the normal 6 weeks of leave would have been sufficient for her mother and the policy would remain unchanged. The rare symptom Marie gave her mother resulted in saving the life of her sister and mother, and creating a NICU experience which resulted in a significant maternity and convalescent leave policy change for military families and their babies. By allowing military mothers more time with their babies, the infants’ health and mortality rates will dramatically improve. In addition, this policy change resulted in a higher retention of women in the military and other Service branches reviewing their policies which will lead to an entire Department of Defense maternity and convalescent leave change.

Marie was an angel who came to bring awareness to an issue that needed to be changed.

Her purpose was significant. Of all the people Marie could have been born to, she was born to a high-ranking officer with friends in the right places who could affect the change she was sent

by God to make.

Teacher and heroin addict share a ‘crazy chemistry’ DEAR ABBY: I’m a 24-year-old teacher and graduate student. I have started dating a new man, “Winston,” who makes me feel incredible. We have crazy chemistry like I’ve never had before, and our personalities work perfectly together.

Here’s the problem. Winston is a recovering heroin addict with horrible credit and two felony charges related to having stolen money from his parents when he was desperate for drugs.

I know what you’re thinking — I’d be an idiot for dating someone like this, right? But Winston and I have had heartfelt talks and he revealed a troubled upbringing that helped me understand where his addiction came from.

He’s in a rehab program to try to get his life together.

I’ve dated a lot of guys. All I’ve ever wanted is someone who will give me “butterflies” for the rest of my life, and Winston may be the guy. He’s attentive, affectionate and loving. He treats me like a princess. I understand his past will cause financial strain. Isn’t it more important to have a man who treats me right than one with a lot of earning potential? Please give me some advice. — DREAM COME TRUE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR DREAM: You have been seeing Winston for HOW long? Has he completed his rehab and been able to maintain his sober lifestyle for a long enough time that the chances are it will continue?

Few things are as exciting as infatuation — every one of our senses is heightened. You say you feel “butterflies,” but what if you wind up with only a moth-eaten carpet? This is not to say that Winston isn’t a wonderful person — many former addicts can be.

However, I think it’s premature for you to consider a future with him until you are sure about his stability.

DEAR ABBY: My widowed 86-year-old mom was living by herself.

My unmarried sister, “Anne,” has become ill and has moved in with Mom. Anne wanted a dog. At first Mom was against it because they both have cats, but she finally gave in and Anne got a year-old beagle mix from the dog rescue.

I have been afraid of dogs since I was little. My family knows this. Usually, once I get to know a dog I’m OK, and I have had several of my own. But this animal has abandonment and abuse issues. He’s very aggressive and barks, growls and lunges at anyone who comes into the house. It makes me afraid, so I have quit visiting and hardly ever drop by.

Mom and Anne have very little control over the dog. I worry that in an emergency — whether for Mom or Anne --- the EMTs would not be able to get past the animal. What can I do?

— SCARED IN IOWA DEAR SCARED: Explain to them that not all emergency medical technicians (EMTs) have been formally trained to handle unruly or vicious animals, and precious time might be lost.

If your sister or mother wasn’t around to control the dog and the EMTs were unable to lure it to another room, animal control would have to be summoned or a neighbor found who could assist, and the consequences could be serious. Then cross your fingers that nothing bad happens.

Deal requires deep pollution IndyCar racer Charlie Kimball making visit at Hy-Vee cuts at Iowa coal-fired plants The Associated Press IOWA CITY — Iowa’s second largest power company agreed Wednesday to drastically cut pollution at several coal-fired power plants under a Clean Air Act settlement that’s expected to make the air safer and easier to breathe around the state.

Interstate Power and Light, Alliant Energy’s Iowa subsidiary, will install and continuously operate pollution controls at its two largest coal-fired plants in Iowa under the consent decree filed in federal court. The equipment — which is already in place in Lansing and must be installed in Ottumwa by Dec. 31, 2019 — is expected to cost the utility $620 million and slash key pollutants that impact respiratory and cardiovascular health and contribute to acid rain, smog and haze, federal officials said.

In addition, the utility will be required to retire or convert five other coal-fired plants — Cedar Rapids, Burlington, Dubuque, Clinton and Marshalltown — to cleaner-burning natural gas on a rolling basis through 2025.

While Interstate Power and Light already has made some of the changes and was

planning to do others, the settlement can be enforced by a judge, sets tight limits for emissions and details monetary penalties for violations.

The company will also pay a $1.1 million fine and spend $6 million on a range of environmental mitigation projects under the settlement. When fully implemented, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency project the changes will cut annual emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide by 36,000 tons.

“It’s going to reduce pollution not by a little bit but by a lot,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Cruden, who oversees the Environment and Natural Resources Division.

U.S. Attorney Kevin Techau of the Northern District of Iowa said the changes will have a “huge impact on the quality of life for Iowans,” making the air easier to breathe for young children, the elderly and others with respiratory illnesses.

Federal officials praised Interstate Power and Light for negotiating reforms rather than fighting the enforcement action, which started in 2011 when the Sierra Club filed a notice accusing the

company of violating the Clean Air Act. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency later took over the case.

Interstate Power and Light, which provides electric service to 525,000 customers and natural gas to 225,000 customers in Iowa and Minnesota, can choose from five environmental mitigation projects. Options include installing additional solar energy capacity or replacing its fleet of utility trucks with hybrid trucks.

The moves settle a complaint also filed Wednesday alleging that Interstate Power and Light violated the Clean Air Act when it made major modifications to the Ottumwa and Lansing plants that increased emissions in 2006 and 2009, respectively. The company failed to obtain necessary permits to make the changes and didn’t install the best available pollution controls required by the act, the complaint alleged. Interstate Power and Light denied wrongdoing.

“The terms we negotiated are consistent with our long-term plan for clean energy,” company president Doug Kopp said. “We settled with the EPA to avoid unnecessary delays and ongoing uncertainty associated with litigation.”

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Newton Hy-Vee along with Mercy and Novo Nordisk will be hosting IndyCar racer Charlie Kimball from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday at Hy-Vee, 1501 First Ave. E. Kimball drives the No. 83 car for Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing in the Verizon IndyCar Series and is the first licensed driver with diabetes in the history of IndyCar. “We’re pleased Charlie Kimball will be on hand to greet visitors and tell his story,” HyVee Registered Dietitian Jenny Thompson said.

Born in England and raised in California, Kimball began racing go-karts at the age of 9 and although he was accepted to Stanford University, he chose to bypass admission to follow his dream of becoming a race car driver. In 2007, at age 22, Kimball was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and was forced to abandon his racing program mid-season.

After his diagnosis, Kimball returned to racing in 2008 and claimed a podium finish in his first race back in the car.

In 2011, Kimball joined the newly formed Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing team for his rookie season in the Verizon IndyCar Se-

ries. He went on to have two top-10 finishes and become the first driver with diabetes to qualify, start and finish the Indianapolis 500.

On Aug. 4, 2013, Kimball again made history by becoming the first driver with diabetes to win an IndyCar race, his first victory at the highest level of the sport.

Today, Kimball continues to compete in the highly competitive racing category, proving that living with diabetes does not have to restrict him from doing what he loves and living his dream.

Crisis intervention services receives $1,000 donation

Submitted Photo Wes Finch Auto Plaza donated $1,000 to Crisis Intervention Services. The dealership hosted a contest, and the community voted via the Wes Finch Auto Plaza Facebook page and Crisis Intervention Services was the winner.

Newton Daily News In an effort to give back and show appreciation for the support they receive from their local community, Wes Finch Auto Plaza is dedicated to donating to local charity organizations.

Instead of choosing these organizations on their own, Wes Finch Auto Plaza allowed the community to choose which organizations should receive the donations. This is done by listing each organization that enters the contest on the

Wes Finch Auto Plaza Facebook page and allowing the community to vote by simply “liking” the photo of the logo that represents their favorite local charity.

The most recent round of this contest ran June 1 through June 30. Eighteen charity organizations from the local area participated. Crisis Intervention Services received the most votes and was therefore awarded the $1,000 donation from Wes Finch Auto Plaza. Crisis Intervention Services (CIS) works to end all forms

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 at the Fourth of July Fireworks in Newton.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News 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 on July 4. All funding and organization was done by the Newton Park Board.

Newton Park Board recaps Fourth of July, discusses future projects at July meeting

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Newton Parks Board gave a recap of its Fourth of July Fireworks event and discussed future projects to Aurora Park and Westwood Golf Course and at its July meeting Wednesday night at city hall.

The Fourth of July event went well, according to board members and Newton residents in attendance at the meeting. More than 1,000 people were estimated to have attended Agnes Patterson Park for the event, plus the people who watched the fireworks from other locations surrounding the park such as Berg school and neighbor-

hoods.

“It was fabulous. It was the best one I’ve seen,” city council member and Newton resident Evelyn George said.

Fundraising for the fireworks display came primarily from private donations, restaurant jar donations and day-of donations collected on site. Culver’s, Jimmy Johns and Uncle Nancy’s were the top jar fundraisers, according to City of Newton Administrative Superintendent Nathan Unsworth. The board broke even on the event cost and next year anticipates more fundraising efforts such as a donation campaign with Fareway and Hy-Vee. Next year, the board would

like to move food vendors closer to the people and will work on event layout. Transportation, electricity and sound are just some of the considerations when placing food vendors.

“The show was great, and it really wasn’t too bad getting people out. It did take longer than last year with their only being one exit. I think I counted about 20 to 25 minutes to clear everything out,” board member Adam Vandall said.

Overall, the board said there was more attendance and participation than there has been in the past and the feedback has been positive.

Also discussed at the meet-

ing was the planning of future projects to the community: • The board would like to send out request for proposals for its numerous updates to Aurora Park.

The first project on the list is a new tennis court for the park, expected at $60,000 for asphalt, and the park board is speaking with the schools about funding for surfacing.

The board also plans on spending $50,000 in new playground equipment and $95,000 on a unique boulder park next to the existing playground. The board plans to apply for grants to fund the boulder park. It would be the first one of its kind in the state of Iowa.

Aurora Park would display unique features that are different than the other parks in the community and the schools.

This would prevent any duplication of playground equipment.

In addition to the playground and a potential development of a boulder park, the existing skate park would also be updated as well as the outdoor basketball court space.

Further information on this project as well as a focus on Westwood Golf Course facility initial architectural design and discussion are planned for the August board meeting.

Mason Mitchell calls Friday’s ARCA race a ‘must win’

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News There is a very specific bottom line for West Des Moines native Mason Mitchell when it comes to the ARCA Racing Series’ #ThisIsYourSpeedway150 that takes place Friday night at Iowa Speedway.

The bottom line is win.

And anything less than a victory at Mitchell’s home track would be a disappointment.

“As a driver you want to win every race, but when it’s your home race you want to win it a little bit more,” Mitchell said.

“I always put a little bit more pressure on myself when we race at Iowa Speedway because we always have a lot of friends, family and sponsors attending and we want to win for them. Bottom line is we have to win, anything short of winning on Friday will be a disappointment.”

The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards #ThisIsMySpeedway150 starts at 8 p.m. on Friday and will be televised live on Fox Sports 1.

Mitchell became the first Iowa driver since 1974 to win an ARCA championship last year. His 2015 season has looked a lot different howevTroy Hyde/Daily News er.

Cowboys, Bryant agree to 5-year, $70 million deal IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dez Bryant has the long-term contract he said he wouldn’t play without, and the Dallas Cowboys can quit worrying about whether he really would skip games.

The All-Pro receiver signed a five-year, $70 million deal Wednesday, after months of posturing from both sides and less than an hour before a deadline that would have required him to play under a one-year agreement.

“There was never a doubt in my mind that we wanted a long-term deal with Dez,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “We just had to get the pot right.”

To do that, Jones flew to New York on Tuesday with son and executive vice president Stephen Jones to meet with agent Tom Condon and representatives of Jay Z’s Roc Nation talent agency.

The elder Jones said they were up until 3 a.m.

Wednesday discussing terms, and he went to bed confident a deal was all but done.

A person close to the negotiations provided contract terms to The Associated Press because they weren’t announced.

The deal, which includes $45 million in guaranteed money, is similar to one Denver receiver Demaryius Thomas signed about the same time as Bryant.

At an average of $14 million annually, Bryant and Thomas are now the second-highest paid receivers behind Detroit’s Calvin Johnson ($16 million).

The 26-year-old Bryant, who led the NFL with 16 touchdowns receiving last season, had threatened to skip training camp and regular-season games without a contract to replace the $12.8 million offer for one year he had under the franchise tag.

Once the sides got close enough, Bryant rode to the team’s Valley Ranch headquarters.

“I smiled the whole way over here. I couldn’t even say nothing but just smile and laugh, because I couldn’t believe it,” Bryant said in a story on the team’s website.

“All I could just think about is that it’s a dream — a dream come true.

I think the only thing that’s missing is a Super Bowl.”

seventh ARCA start and hopes he can finally find his way to victory lane.

“I have a lot of track time at Iowa and a lot of confidence going into the race this weekend,” Jones said. “Our Ansell-Menards team had a really strong run in our last race at Winchester Speedway; we led a bunch of laps and came home with a top-three finish. The next few ARCA Racing Series events are at some of my best tracks and I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to break through to finally get a win with our Venturini Motorsports team.”

Team Palmer wins Champion Challenge at St. Andrews ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — On a day for reminiscing at the home of golf, a team led by Arnold Palmer captured the Champion Golfers’ Challenge.

The four-hole exhibition on the eve of the British Open pitted squads comprised of past winners, with the best individual score on each hole going toward that team’s total.

The 85-year-old Palmer, who spawned an American invasion with his Open victories in 1961 and ‘62, hit the opening tee shot for his team Wednesday. He then turned things over to Paul Lawrie, who eagled the second hole and rolled in a long birdie putt on the 18th to give his team — which also included Darren Clarke and Bill Rogers — a 3-under total.

The squads captained by Tony Jacklin, Tom Weiskopf and Peter Thomson also were 3 under.

But Palmer’s team won the top prize of £100,000 ($156,452), which will be donated to a charity of their choice, by having the highest average age.

Team Jacklin (which also included John Daly, Nick Faldo and Tom Lehman), Team Weiskopf (Mark O’Meara and Tiger Woods) and Team Thomson (Ben Curtis, Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson) all posted three birdies in four holes.

Tom Watson’s team (Ian Baker-Finch, Todd Hamilton and Louis Oosthuizen) finished at 2 under.

Team Charles (Bob Charles, David Duval, Justin Leonard and Sandy Lyle) and Team Player (Gary Player, Stewart Cink, Mark Calcavecchia and Padraig Harrington) only managed to birdie the first hole.

GRANDPA SPIETH: Despite his busy schedule, Jordan Spieth tries to hang out with his sister as much as possible.

He’s even filled in as a grandparent.

The 21-year-old Spieth has made no secret of the inspiration provided by his sibling, Ellie, who was born with a neurological disorder.

“Any time I’m home, I’m spending time with Ellie,” the Texan said Wednesday. “I take her to school, pick her up, spend time at my parents’ house or she’ll come over (to his nearby home) and hang out.”

When Ellie’s school held “Grandparents Day” this year, her grandparents weren’t able to make it.

“One lives in North Carolina and the other is in Pennsylvania, so I just went in there to support her and hang out,” Spieth said.

“I was picking her up, so I went in early and they had a little party and I got to meet some of her friends in her new class. It was fun.”

STENSON’S CLOSE CALLS: Henrik Stenson has flirted with his first major championship on several occasions, including three top-three finishes in the British Open.

The Swedish golfer was asked Wednesday what it would mean to his career if he failed to capture one of the biggest titles.

After joking that he would be “devastated,” Stenson noted how far he’s come.

“If I look at the big picture, how much I’ve managed to achieve coming from a little junior in Sweden, standing there practicing, dreaming about playing golf worldwide and competing in the big events, I think I’ve come a very long way,” he said. A major title “would be icing on the cake, no question, but I would still go to sleep fairly happy even if it didn’t happen.

It’s a bonus, and I’m trying hard to make it happen.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Caitlyn Jenner accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs on Wednesday night while urging acceptance for others who are transgender.

She received a standing ovation from some of the sporting world’s biggest stars after her 10-minute speech during the annual awards honoring the year’s top athletes and moments.

“This transition has been harder on me than anything I can imagine,” said Jenner, who revealed she was in the process of becoming a woman in a televised interview with Diane Sawyer in April on ABC. Noting her powerful celebrity platform, the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion vowed “to do whatever I can to reshape the landscape of how transgender people are viewed and treated.”

Abby Wambach of the U.S. soccer team that won the Women’s World Cup presented the trophy to Jenner, whose voice broke as she thanked members of her famous family, including stepdaughters Kim and Khloe Kardashian. Tears welled in the eyes of Jenner’s younger daughter, Kylie, whose sister, Kendall, wiped a tear from her eye.

“I never wanted to hurt anyone else, most of all my family and my kids,” said Jenner, who admitted that until earlier this year she had never met another transgender person.

She told the audience about trans teenagers who are bullied, beaten up, murdered or kill themselves. She mentioned two people by name whose deaths particularly touched her.

“Trans people deserve something vital, they deserve your respect,” she said.

“From that respect comes a more compassionate community.”

With her hands clasped in front of her, Jenner joked with the audience about her struggle to select the cream gown she wore.

“OK, girls, I get it,” she said, as the audience laughed. “You to get the shoes, the hair, the makeup, it was exhausting. And the fashion police, please be kind on me. I’m new at this.”

Jenner didn’t walk the red carpet outside the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, and she didn’t appear backstage to talk with reporters, as most of the previous Ashe award recipients have done.

ESPN said Jenner wanted her onstage comments to stand.

IndyCar Continued from Page 1B Series points, strives to be the next repeat winner at Iowa Speedway like his teammate Hunter-Reay. He is the only Verizon IndyCar Series driver this season to complete every lap of all 12 races. That’s 1,557 laps without a mechanical failure, issues with the Honda engines or on-track incident.

“Having success at Iowa for Andretti Autosports comes down to good setups for the cars and good drivers,” Andretti said. “Plus they have cool trophies — the fuel pumps.”

Andretti and CFH Racing co-owner/driver Ed Carpenter tested the new aerodynamic components (aero kits) July 1 at Iowa Speedway.

“The way the track is laid out and how banked it is almost runs like a small super speedway track,” Andretti said.

“Being able to go in and test the new aero kits allowed us to balance things up with the mechanical set up of the car.”

Carpenter found the day of testing to be beneficial also.

“Even though I’ve only missed one year of racing at Iowa since IndyCar came there, this year having the testing was good because of the new aero kits we have.

We learned a great deal about the changes we needed to make,” Carpenter said. “Iowa is a great race track and one of the most unique tracks in the country.”

2015 Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya comes in to Saturday’s race with a 54-point lead in the series over Scott Dixon. Will Power, the Verizon IndyCar Series 2014 champion, is in fifth place, 70 points back.

Including the Iowa Corn 300, there are four races remaining in the series.

“We need to keep doing what we’ve been doing. I’m very pleased with the No. 27 Snapple team across the board,” Andretti said. “We’re excited about the Iowa race.

The amount of speed we’re able to carry on such a small track is unbelievable. The banking allowed us to carry that speed.

It’s a night race and it should be fun.”

Andretti said growing up in the sport with his grandfather, Mario, and his father, Michael, successful drivers was amazing. He said Mario is the most passionate person about the sport he knows and Michael is the owner of Andretti Autosports.

“My father is an extremely loyal dude,” the 28-year-old Andretti said. “He is on my side and wants me to do well.

He wants me to win the races he believes I can win, which

Pigot

Urrutia

includes the Indianapolis 500.

That’s a goal.

“I’m in the sport for the pure love of driving. I just love it. I’m learning as I’m becoming a veteran in the sport to enjoy every aspect of it. I love all the challenges it presents.

I’m a very, very intense guy at the race track, and extremely focused on the task at hand.

I’m learning to smile more at the track.”

Oval driving is physically and mentally tasking for drivers, according to Andretti and Carpenter. Carpenter only drives the oval races on the Verizon IndyCar Series circuit.

“It was a business discussion more than anything else.

My background is in racing on ovals, and I came to road course racing late in my career,” Carpenter said. “As a team owner, I believe we have other drivers who are better at the road courses than I. It allows us more opportunities to be successful as a team.

The Indy 500 is what hooked Indianapolis native Carpenter.

“Growing up here and going to that race as kid made me love racing. Winning the Indy 500 is what we’re striving for as drivers. There is no event in the world like it,” Carpenter said.

Carpenter made another business decision a year ago.

He combined his team with Sarah Fisher-Hartman Racing to form CFH Racing.

Carpenter ran fifth at Iowa a year ago while new teammate Josef Newgarden made the podium in second place.

He said the new team is doing well with Newgarden winning two races this season. Carpenter said both he and Newgarden are excited to get back on track at Iowa this weekend.

“Iowa Speedway’s track always produces great racing.

As the track has aged, it has gotten harder and a few more bumps, which has made for better racing and it a better IndyCar track,” Carpenter said. “It is very physical at Iowa because things come at you very fast and you have to be on your toes. You are always turning so you have to stay focused.”

Jack Harvey, a second-year driver, and rookie Spencer Pigot come into Iowa Speedway in the top two spots in the Indy Lights points race.

Harvey, who is from Lincoln,

IndyCar Photo Santiago Urrutia is an 18-year-old rookie driver leading the points race in the Pro Mazda Championship.

Urrutia, who is from Uruguay, is in his first year of driving in America.

IndyCar Photo Spencer Pigot drives in the Indy Lights Series. Pigot was the 2014 Pro Mazda Champion and moved up the Road to Indy ladder in 2015. He is currently second in the driver’s points race coming into Saturday’s race at Iowa Speedway.

England, has 261 points to Pigot, a Florida native, has 247 points. Harvey was the 2014 Indy Lights Rookie of the Year finishing second in the points race.

The Indy Lights has become a training ground for drivers who aspire to become IndyCar greats. The series has groomed current IndyCar Series drivers Dixon, Carpenter, Andretti, Carlos Munoz, Sebastian Saavedra and James Hinchcliffe, among others.

“I learned a great deal about myself last year. Racing on ovals was new for me, I came to understand what I could be doing better,” Harvey said. “I won the Freedom 100 at Indianapolis this year. It was my first oval win. I believe driving on ovals is becoming one of my strengths.”

Both Harvey and Pigot were involved in the testing day at Iowa two weeks ago. It was the first time either driver had been on the Iowa Speedway track. Plus Indy Lights’ drivers are driving new AER turbo-powered cars this season.

“We have brand new cars and brand new engines, which is a big step forward for many reasons for Indy Lights,” Harvey said. “You are learning all the time. Testing at Iowa was big for us. It has quite a notorious bump in Turn 2 people talk about, and now, I know how it effects the car, and

learned about the down force level and the fuel levels at that track.”

Pigot said he found Iowa Speedway to be one of the unique oval tracks with its progressive banking. He said his team worked on car setups and understanding the tricky bump in Turn 2. Pigot moved from winning the Pro Mazda Championship in 2014 into the Indy Lights series.

The Pro Mazda Championship is the second official step on the Mazda Road to Indy ladder system, bridging the gap between the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda and Indy Lights Presented

by Cooper Tires. The series champion is awarded a scholarship package to advance to Indy Lights competition the following year.

As part of its commitment to assisting drivers’ progress from the grassroots of the sport up to the Verizon IndyCar Series, IndyCar, via the Mazda Road to Indy, guarantees the 2015 Indy Lights champion a three-race program in the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series, including an entry in the 100th Indianapolis 500.

“Racing on ovals is challenging because of the speed we reach and maintain for the whole race. That has been a major difference for me this season — the speed of Indy

Lights compared to the Pro Mazda cars,” Pigot said. “Iowa appears to be a track which we’ll have a great race on. The banking will make for some good side-by-side racing.”

Rookie Santiago Urrutia, an 18-year-old from Uruguay, is taking advantage of a dream of his, which began when his grandfather put him on motor bikes then his mother moved him into go-karts by age 5.

Urrutia holds a 30-point lead in the Pro Mazda Championship.

“I love all types of motorsports, but I really want to be like Gonzalo Rodrigues, who raced in Formula One then came to America to race for Penske Racing,” Urrutia said.

“I came here and have been working hard, which is why we’ve had success this season.

“But races are races and sometime you crash. My first oval race this season, I crashed. I know Iowa is a great oval track. I’m excited about racing there. I need to have a top-5 finish to stay in the points lead.”

Rodrigues was from Uruguay and had success racing in Formula 3000 in Europe.

He raced for Penske Racing in CART until he died from injuries in a crash during a practice lap in 1999.

DAILY NEWS 641-792-5320

Astrograph

To think that freedom from the current circumstances equals happiness is an immature reduction. Forget about happiness for now, and deal directly with the current circumstances.

Your joy may return as a result of becoming a more able and effective person. This message was brought to you by the conjunction of Mercury and Mars.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 16). Your connection with loved ones is an invisible cord, transcending time and space as it entwines your souls. A change of location will be lucky financially and otherwise in August. October will

bring a windfall. Your success secret for the start of 2016 is to focus on what’s going right, instead of trying to fix what’s wrong. Taurus and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 20, 32, 25 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Just because a thing is healthy, beautiful and helpful doesn’t mean you like it. And the fact that you can like a thing and still find it ugly is further proof that you don’t have control over what you like.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Enlarge your circle. You’re a walking, talking business card

if you want to be, and that’s not a bad thing, because your business is so interesting and/ or helpful to others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You feel quite naturally drawn to planning the day, setting daily goals, scheduling appointments and prioritizing activities. Like it or not, this makes you the leader.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Are you getting the impression that someone just wants your attention, in whatever form that attention may come?

Well, you’re right. Give kindly and early to avoid negative consequences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). At first, babies cry each time they

are left alone. Over time, they learn that someone is likely to return -- the natural pattern is for people to leave and come back. Don’t worry. The person you miss will come back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you can make the most of the present without injuring the future, you have hit the sweet spot of moderation that many find so difficult to strike. Give yourself credit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your efforts to rein in your spending may include influencing your loved ones to stay within the limits of an agreed-upon plan. “I’m living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.” -- ee cummings

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your glee comes from being in a position to make choices from a few juicy options. This feeling of being in control may be based on illusion, but it’s a dreamy, lovely illusion, so why not stay in it for a few days?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are more psychic people in your life than you know. Today will bring proof in the form of synchronized phone calls, chance meetings and uncanny events.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Most people feel like the good guy in the story of their lives. It takes a very strong person to objectively decide the generosity and rightness of

their choices.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A busy mind and a busy social schedule don’t go together. Clear one or the other.

To be socially aware, you must be calm and present to your environment and the people therein.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It would be tidy and convenient for every story to have a moral, and yet much of today’s action will be so rambling and random that it will be hard to extrapolate one. Maybe the moral is just to take it moment by moment.
