Progress unclear on Hotel Maytag project

What a new structure might look

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News If a Sept. 13 bond election results in a 60-percent approval or greater, the Newton Community School District will have the opportunity to design, shape and build its first new facility on the same site as its previous new school.

While a 50-year-old school might sound young by Iowa standards, many innovations in construction and school design would give the district the chance to create a much more modern facility. The district hosted several forums over the winter where FRK

The Newton Community School District is holding a Sept. 13 election, where it will ask voters for $26.9 million in general-obligation tax bonds — the bulk of the funding needed to rebuild the Berg school complex. This is the second in a three-part series about issues related to the bond vote.

Design of Des Moines gathered input from teachers, parents and various community leaders and other residents about components to include in a redesign of the school.

However, some of the design steps for the grades 5-8 school must

wait until the district finds out exactly how much money is available for the project. Passage of a $26.9 million bond on Sept. 13, coupled with about $6 million in the district’s available SAVE funds, the district will use this money to buy bonds that must be

Main Street Iowa representatives were in Newton on Tuesday to view the progress of the former Hotel Maytag project and get an update on work being done toward the restoration of the ballroom area. The organization awarded a $75,000 Main Street Iowa Challenge grant to fund part of the rehabilitation in October 2015.

No visible progress has been made on the former Hotel Maytag project but meetings are continuing, said Andy Frantz, vice president of operations for Frantz Community Investors. Cedar Rapids-based Frantz Community Investors announced in March 2015 plans for a $10 million project to restore not only the ballroom but also add 35 market-rate apartments, commercial space and an upscale restaurant to the current Midtown building.

paid off within 20 years, so it won’t clear until that phase exactly what the district can afford.

The basic plan is to begin new construction — as soon as the spring of 2017 — on an allnew structure that will basically wrap around the northeast side of the existing Berg building.

The newest Berg Middle School gym will be the lone reused piece, so the new construction will begin at that gym at move northeast, into what is currently parking and athletic-field space.

One of the aims of the Berg Complex Bond Committee has been to show the need for replacing the facility. Tuesday night’s public tour of Berg and question-and-answer forum allowed the public its first opportunity this summer to see the complex’s issues and hear teacher’s firsthand accounts at the same time.

At least 30 people, plus bond committee members, attended the tour, guided by committee members, Newton Superintendent Bob Callaghan, maintenance supervisor Jack Suttek and Berg staff members. They were all gathered to help inform the public about issues at the Berg facility,

Chamber, district welcome 33 new educators

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Kelilah Brown finished being a student at Newton High School in 2007, she didn’t know she’d be returning someday to teach there.

Brown was one of 33 new educators welcomed Tuesday at the Greater Newton Chamber of Commerce’s annual new teacher luncheon, at Newton DMACC. The Newton High School graduate was all smiles, like many at the event, though the NHS grads seemed especially happy to be welcomed as teachers at their alma mater.

“It’s really exciting,” said Brown, who left her position as Knoxville High School’s director of bands to take over as an assistant director with Newton’s high school and middle school band programs. “It’s fun to see so many familiar faces at the place where I’ll be working.”

There were slightly more teachers than usual hired by

the Newton Community School District this year. This was due, in part, to the Teacher Leadership Compensation Grant, which allowed some teachers to apply for newly created leadership positions, leaving general teaching positions to be filled.

Chamber Director Amanda Price emceed the luncheon, with brief teacher appreciation remarks from various school officials and sponsors of the event.

Dr. Steven Rabedeaux of The Dental Practice, one of the event’s main sponsors, said it’s tough to place a value on education.

“The most valuable thing Newton produces isn’t wind blades or dentistry services,” Rabedeaux said. “The most valuable thing we produce is children.”

Newton Tent Crusade has successful second year

St. Stephen’s to host backpack blessing St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church will host a Backto-school Celebration and Blessing of the Backpacks at its 10 a.m. service Sunday at the church, 223 E. Fourth St. S. in Newton.

Many schools will begin their school year on Aug. 23. The Blessing of the Backpacks is to let local students and teachers know that the church honors an support this time of their life.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News For the second year, the Newton Tent Crusade had a successful six-day event. From Aug. 9 through the Aug. 14, community members were invited to join in nightly services and lively entertainment.

“Tent meetings are kind of different because they are outside,” organizer James Miller said. “It is a lot more relaxed.

It is kind of like the fair atmosphere.”

Miller, owner if Integrity Cleaning and Restoration, had been looking to bring the tent crusade to Newton for several years but could not find a location to hold the event. Last year, while continuing the search, it dawned on Miller to put the tent in right next to his business at 402 First Ave. E. “For the last several years I have been looking for a place to put the tent up, and it always fell through,” Miller said. One day, I just thought — why can’t a just put it up out here. It just dawned on me. It fits perfect.”

Leading the nightly services was evangelist Robert Newton.

Newton is a part of Powerhouse Ministries Crusades and Conferences, a ministry that travels to provide crusades, conferences, revivals and outreaches.

Special music was also provided

by April and Jeff Davis.

Performing at the event during youth night on Friday was Montezuma-based band Breaking Adam. The contemporary Christian band mixed the sounds of rock and pop to create their own worship music.

The group started as a worship band out of their church and has grown to play and min-

ister across the state. Breaking Adam writes their own music to help them connect with all generations.

Consisting of Travis Williams on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Travis Kaisand on drums, Ryan Kloppenberg on Rhythm Guitar and Alex Nowotny on bass, Breaking Adam says its sole purpose when they play is to lift of the name of Jesus and hopefully connect to the person who would normally steer away form Christian music.

“We believe that worship is not only what we do on stage

but it’s our lifestyle. We worship God with our words, our music and our lives,” Williams said.

Saturday night the event held a miracle and healing service along with offering free hot dogs, chips, drinks and dessert.

The event wrapped up on Sunday with a morning service.

Miller said that there was a good turnout to the event and hopes to make it an annual affair.

Friends call imam slaying a First Baptist to host hate crime; cops say no motive JCARL can drive anti-Muslim epithets. In one incident, a man called him “Osama” as he walked to the mosque with his 3-year-old son. With the killer still on the loose, Chowdhury decided it would be best to drive to prayer services.

“A lot of neighbors said, ‘Hey, don’t take your kid with you,’” he said. “People, they just hate us.”

Police released a sketch early Sunday of a dark-haired, bearded man wearing glasses. Police said witnesses described the shooter as a man with a medium complexion.

Investigators said they have not established a motive in the attack. On Saturday, Deputy Inspector Henry Sautner said there was “nothing in the preliminary investigation to indicate that they were targeted because of their faith.” Akonjee was carrying about $1,000 in cash that was not taken during the shooting, police said.

On Sunday, neighbors in the Ozone Park section were skeptical of what police had found so far.

Chowdhury said he has felt the mood in the neighborhood change drastically in the last few months and accused Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric.

“This neighborhood is getting crazy because of this election and Trump. He hates Muslims,” he said. “I love this neighborhood and now I’m scared.”

Trump’s campaign said in a statement that it was “highly irresponsible” to blame a political candidate for the violent attacks.

Mashuk Uddin just couldn’t believe it was true, shaking as he heard the news that his brother, Thara, a devout Muslim, had been gunned down.

Naima Akonjee, 28, one of the imam’s seven children, said she rushed to her parents’ home after the shooting. She said her father was a caring man who would call her just to check up on whether she had eaten properly.

NEW YORK (AP) — The daylight slaying of a mosque leader and his associate set off fear and anguish Sunday among Bangladeshi Muslims in a New York City neighborhood, with some saying the killings appear to be an anti-Muslim hate crime. But police said there is no evidence so far to support that.

Police hunted for the gunman who killed Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, and Thara Uddin, 64, near the Al-Furqan Jame Masjid mosque in Queens as they left afternoon prayers Saturday in their traditional religious attire.

Both men were shot in the head.

“This was a hate crime. One hundred percent, there’s no doubt about it,” said Monir Chowdhury, who worshipped daily with the two men.

He said he had moved to the community because of its large Bangladeshi immigrant population, but in recent months has been harassed by people shouting

There were many elements discussed in last year’s FRK planning forums, ranging from geothermal heating to width of hallways to locker placement to grade-level groupings. Sightlines, noise levels and total square footage were a few of hundreds of items discussed.

NCSD board member Josh Cantu, who is on the bond committee, said improving upon the energy efficiency in the rebuild would be a huge priority.

“While many design solutions can accommodate energy efficiency, this was also a topic of discussion and important to the design of any new building,” Cantu said.

“These elements align very well with my highest priorities for our school district.”

Some concessions might need to be made in order to incorporate new elements or proximities and spacing, to keep the project within

budget and to keep the design simple and modifiable in the future. For example, a space can easily be left for a multi-million-dollar performing arts space to be added at a later date, but any performance space and stage area in the initial rebuild might be basic and modest.

It isn’t clear yet if the final design would leave the grades 5-8 facility with three total gymnasiums, including the reuse of the newest Berg Middle School gym. None of the three initial proposed basic designs brought by FRK to an October 2015 forum had a third gym.

All FRK initial designs used a two-floor concept to save on roofing and other costs. FRK was hired to gather input from the Newton committee, incorporate that input into initial designs, then get feedback from the committee to revise the drawings.

The basic design must be further developed once the district knows how much bond money is available to cover construction costs. A bidding process will also be necessary.

File Photo A committee met several times last fall and winter to help provide FRK Design with some basic shape and feature elements of a new Berg Middle School building. A 60 percent approval from voters at a Sept.

13 Newton Community School District election is needed to approve a $26.9 million bond for the project.

Cantu outlined some of the basic priorities the committee has supplied to FRK: • Student safety: Open hallways, classrooms, and locker areas to increase visibility of students at all times. Improved traffic flow during pickup and drop off

times, access to the building through a central open area.

• Improving the learning environment for both students and teachers: Classroom size, collaboration spaces, technology-wired, ADA access throughout the entire building.

A recent Aug. 1 deadline set by the city for Frantz came and went without any announcements by either party.

City of Newton Director of Finance and Development Bryan Friedman said that meetings are continually taking place and discussions about the project are ongoing.

Frantz said he hopes to have a timeline to present to the public very soon.

Opened in December 1926, the Hotel Maytag was a focal point in downtown Newton. In its early years, the ballroom was a center of activity for many social events including numerous weddings and social gatherings.

Through the years, the hotel was converted into apartments and the ballroom was repurposed into office space. Developers plan to remove the offices during the restoration of the ballroom, investing about $450,000 just in that space alone. When completed, it will hold about 300 people and fulfill a need for a downtown event center that can serve the public and surrounding areas.

Less price gouging, please A

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Aug. 17, 2016

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

ccording to a recent Bloomberg News report, Apple, Inc.’s next MacBook Pro lineup might include significant changes to its appearance and hardware.

The popular notebook’s new model may have fancy bells and whistles such as a touch-screen strip for function keys, a slimmer screen, a more powerful graphics processor for tasks such as video games and perhaps a Touch ID scanner, the report says.

Most of these advances will become industry standards, as improved research and development is creating fewer and fewer “throw it on the market and see how it does” attempts. Long-calculated moves lead to sustained marketing campaigns, especially in technology hardware, and manufacturing giants

seem to want to give each new device, feature or service a long initial run — and gouge customers accordingly.

My issues with this are that the attempt to do the other half of marketing — offering a known, established service at a more reasonable price — seems to have been abandoned, and also the price jumps on some types of hardware have been prohibitive for many of us.

I understand any business’ quest for profit and the need to put its best money makers out front and promoted. However, not all of us have the discretionary spending capability to get the latest, most expensive toy on the front shelf.

There also must be a handful of base models in the back of store somewhere.

I say keeping it basic isn’t always a bad thing. I’m not calling for government regulation to intervene — I’m calling on Apple and other large-volume com-

panies to market to me and millions of other average customers who basically believe in the line of products and services and want to contribute to, and benefit from, a trustworthy brand.

Small businesses seem to get this — especially those who have brickand-mortar locations. You’ve only got so much square footage, so you don’t devote all of it to the frontline, highend experimental stuff that might or might sell. You’ve got to have more wellknown, lower-priced backups.

However, the largest marketing operations in the world seem to take more of a steamroller approach to new products, services and features and blaze through the funds of their customers as if it’s some sort of holiday sale blitz. These folks fail to realize if I’m out serious dough for the first round, I won’t be able or willing to purchase the next round.

Apple had sales of Macs, including the MacBook Pro line, rise 6 percent to $25.5 billion in most recent last fiscal year, and iPad sales decreased 23 percent to $23.2 billion, Bloomberg reported. This year’s MacBook Pro is aimed

at furthering that discrepancy, as the cheapest 13-inch Pro is already up to $1,300.

The tablet computer’s lack of durability everyday word processing capability will always keep it mostly a toy, outside of education and a handful of sales applications. Fortunately for Apple and others, tablets can be mass-produced easily enough to keep the batch cost down.

However, laptops and other technology, even among less-durable non-Apple products, seem to keep adding more useless features that don’t really add to the product. Auto manufacturers do this as well, adding more GPS gadgetry and entertainment technology that ensures we won’t have to think at all while in transit, dumbing down both travel skills and consumer-driven innovation at the same time.

I support new lines of products and services. However, necessity should still be the mother of invention, and there must be a catch-up curve for those of us who are modest spenders.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Obama is a self-aggrandizing tool Last week, President Obama penned a ridiculous piece in Glamour magazine. It dripped with self-regard and oozed with moral preening. Barack Obama, said Barack Obama, is a true feminist. This, of course, might not have been obvious from the fact that the Obama White House has paid women 89 cents for every dollar earned by a man, as of July. It might not have been obvious from the Obama administration’s belief that even men can be women, so long as they think it so — and they can invade women’s bathrooms, based on that subjective belief.

But Obama, said Obama, is indeed a feminist.

And he is also here to change souls. “The most important change,” he lectured, “may be the toughest of all — and that’s changing ourselves.”

How should Americans change themselves? Obama explained: “We need to keep changing the attitude that permits the routine harassment of women, whether they’re walking down the street or daring to go online.

We need to keep changing the attitude that teaches men to feel threatened by the presence and success of women.”

This sort of unearned moral righteousness induces nausea. Notice that Obama doesn’t offer any solutions to these supposedly widespread problems — he just throws out the notion that he understands women’s problems. To borrow some feminist language, that’s an extraordinarily patriarchal attitude — to condescend to tell women that you understand their problems and therefore need not present solutions. As the subtext goes, all women really want is someone who can feel along with them.

But it’s worse than that. According to Obama, “We need to keep changing the attitude that punishes women for their sexuality and rewards men for theirs.” But why should anyone be rewarded for their sexuality? Do we reward people for other bodily functions and choices? Do we reward people for their eating habits? How about their bowel movements? The only sort of sexuality that society should celebrate is the kind that takes place responsibly within the bounds of marriage, given that if sexuality produces children, we want children to be born into solid, two-parent families, with their parents present. Society should be — at best — neutral about other sorts of sexuality. It seems bizarre that feminism should ask for promiscuity to be treated as virtue for women just because bad people have done so for men.

This stuff isn’t feminism. It’s just politically correct virtue-signaling.

I fully believe in the basic notion of original feminism: that women should be able to make whatever career choices they want, based on merit. I grew up in a home in which my dad was a stay-at-home dad and my mom ran television and film companies. My wife is a doctor. I’m certainly at home with the kids more than she is, but she took time off for both of our kids. I want my daughter to be able to pursue whatever dream she sees fit.

But I don’t believe that America’s soul needs changing. That’s because I know that Americans agree with me. If they didn’t, my mom’s career wouldn’t have been possible, and neither would my wife’s. I don’t spend every day worrying about my daughter’s possibilities, because in a free country she can go as far as her skills and decisions take her. If she faces obstacles from sexists, I’ll be right there calling for action, if she wants my help.

But I’m not going to pretend for the sake of political correctness and popularity that sexism is widespread and pervasive. It isn’t. America is a glorious place for women.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

More than just names on a wall Forty-eight years ago today, Aug. 17, 1968, an armored personnel carrier made its way through the Binh Dinh province of Vietnam. Like most Army squadrons at that time, they were a portrait of diversity. Gonzalez was Hispanic from California.

Steiner was a Jewish kid from Upper New York and Highlander was the jokester from the backwoods of Kentucky. They served alongside Gary VanBaale, a Dutch kid from Newton. Aug. 17 started just as any other day.

They all crossed off a box from their short timer’s calendar and reported for duty. As they patrolled the area, they shared stories of their dreams for the future, girls back home and general small talk to fill the day. Those dreams were suddenly shattered by a roadside bomb. The vehicle was overturned and through the ensuing chaos, three men lost their lives. Gary was the only survivor but was badly wounded.

I met Gary in 2011 through the Jasper County Freedom Flight. He was reluctant to go at first but eventually decided to attend. I watched him at the Vietnam Wall in D.C. as he gently pulled out a slip of paper with three names written on it.

His hand slowly made it to the black granite, and he was briefly reunited with his three fallen comrades. As you can imagine, it was a very emotional moment.

Another View Doug Bishop That is an experience that cannot be described in words and was repeated dozens of times during each Freedom Flight. To those who served in Vietnam, they aren’t just names on the wall. They are living, breathing memories.

They are their friends. They are their eternal brothers.

I became close to Gary after that trip. He would often stop by my office and check in. Sometimes just to say hi, sometimes to vent and sometimes to talk about Vietnam. During one of those visits he handed me a tattered piece of paper from his billfold with three names on it and asked me if I would make sure they were never forgotten. Panel 48W. Three names forever engraved in granite and memories. I was honored and humbly accepted his offer. I now carry the paper with me daily.

We took a bus trip to Forest City last year for the Vietnam Welcome Home gathering. Forty or so Vietnam vets and guests made the trip. Gary was on board with a full ankle boot after foot surgery. After a couple of hours, I acquired a golf cart and found Gary sitting on a bench. I smiled

and stated, “you look like you need a cold drink!” We made our way to the beverage tent and were glad we did. Outside the tent sat a refurbished replica of a Vietnam Era armored personnel carrier. You could instantly see the emotions flow across Gary’s face.

It was the first time he had seen an APC since leaving Vietnam.

Gary slowly circled the APC several times and stopped for a quick picture. We made our way to the beverage tent where Gary’s mind drifted back to 1968. I sat quietly while Gary reminisced, tears slowly fell and I could see the memories roll across his face in waves. It was a moving experience for both of us.

There are countless men like Gary in Jasper County. They served in a land far away from home, oftentimes in conditions that no person should ever have to experience. Most have their own list. Sometimes written down, sometimes tucked away in a quiet corner of their mind.

Forty-eight years is a long time. I promise that we will never forget.

Welcome home.

Celebrate the end of summer by saving lives Iowa Department of Public Safety Summer is coming to an end, and before we know it, school will be starting and Labor Day will be here. There will be last minute family vacations, shopping trips and end-of-summer celebrations, which mean more people will be traveling on Iowa roadways.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Iowa Traffic Safety Bureau warns that some of those drivers may be driving impaired, and that puts anyone who is sharing the roadway with them at a higher risk of being involved in a crash. In

an effort to remove these dangerous drivers, there will be a noticeable increase in traffic enforcement across Iowa from Aug. 23 to Sept. 5.

Almost one-third of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States and Iowa involve drunk drivers. That means an average of 10,000 people in the United States have died needlessly every year since 2010. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 28 people, nationwide, die every day in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This amounts to one death every 53 minutes. During the 2014 (the last year statistics

are available) Labor Day holiday weekend, 40 percent of the fatalities in traffic crashes involved drunk drivers, which was the highest percentage in over five years.

In contrast, the simple act of wearing a seat belt is the single most effective thing a driver or passenger can do to protect themselves in a crash. A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report shows that seat belts save more than 13,000 lives per year. That is more than the population of most Iowa towns, and it only takes approximately four seconds to buckle up.

Recent water testing at Lake Red Rock’s North Overlook Beach shows low bacteria levels, and the previous swimming advisory is no longer in effect.

The main body of the lake and Whitebreast Beach also had low bacterial counts. Sampling at the beaches is performed weekly by the Corps of Engineers through a contract with Iowa State University.

Further information on the Corps of Engineers water quality monitoring procedures may be obtained at the Red Rock Visitor Center.

Man in relationship wants more than sleeping on floor DEAR ABBY: I am a 40-yearold man, divorced with teenage children, and have been exclusively dating a woman who has a 4-yearold daughter. There have been no clashes between our children.

We have yet to have sex. When I’m over at her place, I sleep on the living room floor either on an inflatable air mattress (her idea) or in a sleeping bag (my response when I just couldn’t take the air mattress any longer). Either way, I feel like I’m left to sleep on a dog bed — not great for my self-esteem, as you can imagine.

My girlfriend uses her daughter as the reason, suggesting that the girl just wouldn’t understand me sleeping in Mommy’s bed. I don’t personally see it as being a big issue for her daughter, given how long we have been together. We have discussed the subject, and she makes reference to perhaps planning some sort of rendezvous, but it never seems to go from theory to practice.

There are no religious issues here.

My girlfriend did have a promiscuous and troubled past as a young adult, so I’m sensitive to the issue.

But this is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

— ON HOLD IN NEW YORK DEAR ON HOLD: People usually find the time to do the things they want to do. Your girlfriend may be holding out for marriage, not have a strong sex drive, or not be as attracted to you as you are to her.

You didn’t mention how long you have been seeing this lady, but I think it’s time you discussed your feelings with her again, find out exactly why your sexual relationship hasn’t gone from theory to practice, and take your cue from there.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 37 and have

been married for eight years. I love my husband, but I’m not “in love” with him. In my younger years I gave my heart to another woman.

Since then, I have masked my true feelings, but I can’t do it anymore. I’m still in love with “Loretta,” and I want to be with her. But now I have many responsibilities — husband, kids, etc.

I have told my husband about my feelings, but he seems to think this is something I’ll get over. I was 17 when Loretta and I started our relationship. We still love each other very much. I don’t want to hurt him, so what do I do? — FOLLOWING MY HEART IN ALABAMA DEAR FOLLOWING: What you do is tell your husband that you thought you might be able to get over your love for Loretta, but that you haven’t. Do not expect him to take the news lightly because he has good reason to be upset. But he needs to know that none of this is his fault.

If he has trouble accepting and understanding this, suggest he contact the Straight Spouse Network (straightspouse.org) for the support it offers to the heterosexual partners of LGBT individuals.

Teen faces probation in assault of disabled woman DES MOINES — An 18-year-old Iowa high school student convicted of sexually assaulting a mentally disabled woman might avoid jail.

The complaint says they arranged to go to the movies but instead went to his house and had sex, even though the woman said “no” several times.

Court hearing set for Friday on effort to halt pipeline DES MOINES (AP) — As work progresses on a crude oil pipeline crossing Iowa opponents are holding protest rallies and taking the state utilities regulators to court to try to stop work on sections crossing land on which owners refuse to give permission.

A hearing is scheduled for Friday in Polk County District Court in Des Moines on a motion to stay construction on several parcels of land.

Attorneys for the landowners who filed the lawsuit will have to prove to a judge they

will be irreparably harmed if construction isn’t halted. The landowners have sued saying the Iowa Utilities Board does not have the authority under Iowa law to give for-profit Texas oil company Dakota Access the right to forcefully condemn private farmland under an eminent domain law for the pipeline.

An attorney representing Dakota Access, Bret Dublinske, filed a document with the board saying the effort is “nothing more than an attempt to halt construction of

the project by three staunch opponents to the project, without any legal or factual basis justifying that result.”

He said delays could cost the company millions of dollars.

In an update on the project, IUB attorney David Lynch said Tuesday that about 60 percent of the project rightof-way has been cleared and 40 percent has been graded.

Trenches have been dug on about 15 percent of the needed path and pipes have been laid along the trench and welding is occurring on about

‘Out’ to the races

20 percent of the project.

Most work is on the northwest and southeast ends of the approved route and less advanced in the central Iowa area, he said.

Dakota Access, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, is building a $3.8 billion, 1,168-mile pipe that cuts through Illinois, North Dakota and South Dakota. It also crosses 18 Iowa counties diagonally from northwest to southeast.

On Monday the Sierra Club Iowa Chapter filed documents

asking the board to appoint a public liaison officer to help guide citizens when they have complaints.

The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission ordered the company to hire a liaison officer approved by the commission to deal with landowner disputes and handle landowner concerns during construction.

Lynch said the Iowa board’s staff will make recommendations on the liaison issue after Dakota Access files comments.

of the pills. The safeguards include physical exams and checking for history of drug abuse.

Steinmann agreed in the settlement he signed last month that he no longer would treat patients for chronic pain.

IOWA CITY (AP) — An arbitrator has been suspended for writing an embarrassing, error-filled ruling that upheld the high-profile firing of a judge who testified against Gov. Terry Branstad’s administration.

The Iowa Public Employment Relations Board sanctioned John L. Sandy last week, saying he will be removed for six months from its roster of arbitrators who are paid to decide disputes between unions and gov-

ernment agencies. Sandy, a Spirit Lake attorney, had been a state arbitrator since 1998.

The discipline stems from Sandy’s mishandling of a case involving the firing of Administrative Law Judge Susan Ackerman, who ruled on unemployment benefits disputes between workers and employers.

Ackerman was fired in January 2015, months after telling lawmakers at a public hearing that Iowa Workforce Development leaders were pressuring

judges to favor employers over workers and creating a hostile work environment. State officials accused Ackerman, a 16-year employee with no prior discipline and praise from her former supervisors, of falsely claiming that an adult daughter was single on insurance forms so she could add her to state health benefits.

Ackerman appealed her firing through the AFSCME union, calling it retaliation for her testimony.

Teachers Continued from Page 1A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Schools Maintenance Supervisor Jack Suttek points to a section of the boiler room of Berg Middle School on Tuesday evening. Area residents toured the school and asked questions in advance of the Sept.

13 vote on a bond to rebuild the facility.

Tour

Continued from Page 1A which is up for a general-obligation public bond vote on Sept. 13.

Most of those who showed any reaction seemed convinced something must be done about the conditions in the building, many of which stem from an outdated design that has been remodeled in a way that makes heating and cooling difficult.

“It’s heartwarming to me that people care enough about students enough to come down here and look into this,” Callaghan told the group after the tour. He and others who were on hand — including Jenny Blankenship of Public Finance Management and Dave Briden of FRK Architects & Engineers — answered questions at the conclusion, mostly about finance and levies.

The tour covered both the grades 7-8 side and what is about to be the grades 5-6 side, with much emphasis on both the inability to heat or cool certain areas and the difficulty in remodeling without extensive,

cost-prohibitive demolition and reconstruction. Briden pointed out how some doorways might have to be completely redone to create wheelchair accessibility.

One compelling aspect of the tour was guided by Suttek and included the boiler room. An element of Berg’s many challenges is its heating system, which has leaks across all rooms in the extended, single-story additions put in through the years.

“Do you hear that boiler kicking on, in the middle of the summer?” Suttek asked the small group on his part of the tour. “It’s kicking on because it has leaks.”

The points driven home by the committee are that it would be easier to replace the building by constructing a new, modern facility for a $26.9 million taxpayer-approved bond than it would to piece together a ground-to-roof remodeling for at least an estimated $17.6 million.

“Yes, it’s true. If the bond doesn’t pass, taxes would go down by $2.62 per $1,000 of valuation per year ($262 for a property with $100,000 of taxable valuation),” Callaghan said. “But

then we’d also still have to figure out what to do with a building where our maintenance staff currently spends half of its time.”

Many bond committee volunteers helped with the tour.

The forum and tour will be repeated from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Aug. 30 and 5:30 to 7 p.m., Sept. 1; and from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Sept.

11.

The vote for the bond takes place on from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Sept. 13 at Jasper County Community Center, 2401 First Ave. E. in Newton.

Tuesday’s questions for Callaghan and the consultants, Blankenship and Briden, had to do with how a new building would be constructed.

Nancy Roberts, whose husband, Richard, taught for Newton Schools for 30 years, asked if local firms would be used in constructing a new school.

Briden pointed out state law requires an open bidding process.

Callaghan said the district has used local contractors whenever possible.

three new teachers this year — Martha Van Walbee, Mary Lothe and Carolyn Ansley — who were recognized at Tuesday’s event by dean of students Mary Patterson. Lothe wasn’t present.

Newton Community School District Superintendent Bob Callaghan then introduced the principals of each facility, who, in turn, introduced the new teachers or other certified staff at their campuses.

Newton High School Principal Bill Peters introduced math teacher Hannah Hemann, industrial technology teacher Derek Bair, chemistry teacher Jeff Richardson and science teacher Quin Knepper.

Berg Middle School Principal Lisa Sharp introduced fifth-grade teachers Kelly Krueger, Jen Wiebel and Alyssa Crosby, sixthgrade teachers Emily Svatosch and Shannon Roberts and eighth-grade math teacher Emily Julin.

Shelly Fitzgerald, who wasn’t at Tuesday’s luncheon, taught with Newton Schools for 20 years before earning her guidance counseling credentials and began working at Grinnell-Newburg High School last year. She is technically a new staff member to Berg, returning to be the grades 5 and 6 counselor.

Sharp will have assistant principals for both the grades 5-6 and the grades 7-8 sides of the middle school. Amy Shannon will be the grades 5-6 assistant principal.

Woodrow Wilson Elementary School Principal Todd Schuster introduced guidance counselor Jessica Marks, second-grade teachers Emilee Brisel and

Hilary Nguyen and special education teacher Rebecca Taylor.

Thomas Jefferson Elementary School Principal Tom Bartello introduced fourth-grade teacher Rachelle Hyde.

Katie Craney will teach art at both Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson. Amanda Miller will be the library media and tech teacher for those two schools.

Aurora Heights Principal Jim Gilbert introduced special education teacher Laura Darnielle, thirdgrade teacher Jenny Jensen and guidance counselor Catherine Ferguson.

Emerson Hough is reopening as a regular elementary school this fall.

Tuesday, Principal Jolene Comer introduced thirdgrade teachers Lauren Barrick and Madison Christy, fourth-grade teacher Brian Keeton and special education teachers Liz Mount and Melissa Randall.

Nicki Hornbaker will teach art at Aurora Heights and Emerson Hough.

Jenny Moore will work with the recently renamed Learning Opportunity Center — a disciplinary alternative program — as a success coach. She was introduced Tuesday by WEST Academy Principal Mike Moran.

Brown, one of six NHS graduates joining Newton Schools this year, said she knows how much her community loves to see its hometown educated students succeed and come back to contribute to the school system where they began.

“A lot of people seem excited to see us back here,” she said.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Christian Taylor and Will Claye have done it again, sweeping gold and silver in the triple jump for the United States at back-to-back Olympics.

Taylor successfully defended the Olympic title he won in London in 2012, setting down the benchmark Tuesday with a season-leading mark of 17.86 on his first attempt. He posted the three best jumps of the competition.

Claye finished with silver again with a personal record of 17.76. He also won a bronze in the long jump at London, when he was the first man since 1936 to win medals in both the horizontal jumps.

World indoor champion Dong Bin of China won bronze in a personal record 17.58.

Claye got the silver and then proposed to American sprinter Queen Harrison. The American runner-up in triple jump celebrated his medal by jumping into the stands at the Olympic stadium, getting down on one knee and proposing to Harrison. She said yes.

Simone Biles put the finishing touches on one of the greatest Olympics by a gymnast ever, capturing her fourth gold of the games with a showstopping performance in the floor exercise.

The 19-year-old American completed an extraordinary stretch that included a team gold for the “Final Five” as well as individual golds in the all-around and vault and bronze on balance beam.

Her five medals tie the most for an American woman in a single Olympics and her four golds tie an Olympic record shared by three others.

Biles embraced longtime coach Aimee Boorman shortly after her routine, which includes a tumbling pass named

in her honor and a Brazilian-themed segment intended to play to the crowd in Rio. She beamed when her score of 15.966 was posted.

Teammate Aly Raisman followed with a 15.500 silver-medal performance to give her a third medal during Rio and six overall in her Olympic career.

Oleg Verniaiev of the Ukraine picked up his second medal in men’s gymnastics, taking gold in the parallel bars final. Verniaiev’s score of 16.041 was just a touch better than the 15.9 put up by American Danell Leyva. David Belyavskiy of Russia earned the bronze.

The silver by Leyva was the first Olympic medal by an American on parallel bars since 1996.

A bronze medalist in the all-around four years ago, Leyva was originally an alternate on the 2016 team before stepping in after John Orozco was injured during training in the weeks leading up to the games.

Leyva made the most of his second chance as he claimed another silver medal on the high bar. He went last on the high bar, and his score of 15.500 knocked teammate Sam Mikulak out of a bronze medal and into fourth place. Leyva’s big day gave the Americans three medals in men’s gymnastics after Alex Naddour won bronze in the pommel horse.

Karch Kiraly’s topranked U.S. women’s team moved one step closer to its goal of capturing the Americans’ first volleyball gold, defeating familiar opponent Japan in straight sets Tuesday to reach the semifinals in Rio. The unbeaten U.S. won 25-16, 25-23, 2522 and has dropped just five sets all tournament.

Chiefs’ Charles makes training camp debut

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles made his training camp debut Tuesday, though trainer Rick Burkholder downplayed his arrival by calling it simply “part of the process.”

Charles had been on the physically-unable-to-perform Charles list the first three weeks of camp, spending his time going through rehab with the Chiefs’ training staff. Charles underwent surgery last season to repair the ACL in his right knee, which he tore in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears.

“This was the next step in the fine-tuning process,” Burkholder said. “We’ll tweak his rehab so that he gets closer to playing. It’s an absolute day-to-day process.

We’ll evaluate every day.”

Charles only did stretching and light drills with the running backs before returning to the locker room area, but Burkholder said that things went according to plan.

“The next couple of days he may do exactly what he did today, but we’ll keep feeding him more of practice until we can get him back into where he’s ready to play in the game,” Burkholder said.

“We have to take him off PUP to allow (running backs coach) Eric Bieniemy and Coach (Andy) Reid to evaluate him.”

Charles missed the Chiefs’ preseason opener Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks, and it appears unlikely that he will play against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.

But the four-time Pro Bowl running back hardly needs the preseason work and the priority is getting Charles ready for games that count.

The Chiefs opener the regular season against San Diego on Sept. 11.

Reid did not speak to reporters Tuesday, but special teams coach Dave Toub said “everybody was excited to see (Charles) was out here.”

“It’s just good to see 25 out on the field,” he said. “It lifts everybody’s spirits.”

The Chiefs did well without Charles last season, ripping off 11 straight wins — including their first playoff win in more than two decades — behind the one-two punch of Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware.

In fact, the Chiefs thought so much of West and Ware that they signed them to long-term contracts in the offseason, envisioning a three-headed monster when Charles is added to the equation.

Each of them has a unique skillset. Charles is an all-around back with the best hands of the bunch, West is a small, shifty runner and Ware provides a physical, bruising complement to both of them.

Cubs deck Brewers in doubleheader CHICAGO (AP) — Jason Hammel threw seven innings of two-hit ball, Anthony Rizzo jumped onto a wall to make a remarkable catch of a foul ball, and the Chicago Cubs beat the banged-up Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Tuesday night to sweep a day-night doubleheader.

Javier Baez hit a tworun homer while Hammel (13-5) struck out seven to extend his scoreless streak to 22 innings.

Rizzo wowed the fans when the first baseman jumped on the wall with both feet, leaned into the crowd and made a

one-handed grab of Keon Broxton’s popup.

In the opener, Trevor Cahill came off the disabled list to throw five innings of two-hit ball in his first start in nearly 16 months in Chicago’s 4-0 win.

It was a nightmare day for the Brewers, who lost second-game starter Chase Anderson to a bruised left quadriceps after two batters and slugger Ryan Braun to a left knee injury in the fourth inning.

Former Butler basketball star, Hawkeye coach Joel Cornette dies at age 35

NFL threatens to suspend 4 players over PED probe The NFL is still seeking an audience with the four linebackers it’s investigating for an alleged link to performance-enhancing drugs.

The league’s latest message to James Harrison, Clay Matthews, Mike Neal and Julius Peppers came with an ominous and onerous threat: Answer our questions in the next 10 days, or start your suspension.

NFL senior vice president of labor policy and league affairs Adolpho Birch sent a letter Monday to the NFL Players Association detailing a plan to suspend Harrison, Matthews, Peppers and Neal if they don’t speak with the league by Aug. 25.

Their punishment would then start the following day on an indefinite basis, to be ended at the discretion of Commissioner Roger Goodell once an interview has been completed.

Birch’s memo to the union was obtained by The Associated Press, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation who’s not authorized to speak publicly about it.

Harrison, a 14-year veteran, is a longtime leader for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Matthews and Peppers are key cogs in Green Bay’s defense, and Neal is a free agent who spent the past six seasons with the Packers. Harrison, Matthews and Peppers have been picked for the Pro Bowl a combined 20 times.

The NFL first notified the quartet on Jan. 11 about the investigation into a television report

by Al-Jazeera featuring allegations made by Charlie Sly, who worked as an intern at an anti-aging clinic, about the use of banned perfor mance-en hancing drugs by several athletes including the four linebackers. Sly later recanted his claims.

Birch, in his letter, said the league has made “at least seven attempts” to arrange the interviews.

Goodell’s power to punish has been a prickly issue between the NFL and the union in recent years, so the elevation of this dispute was not surprising since it revolves around the potential of player discipline and how it fits within the collective bargaining agreement.

The stance of the players has been steadfast in this case, refusing to be interviewed without being presented with what they’ve called credible evidence. Affidavits were sent by the NFLPA on behalf of the players to substitute for the interviews.

Birch dismissed each as simply half-page statements, which were “wholly devoid of any detail.” Birch also said the league determined that an assertion made in Neal’s affidavit was “demonstrably false.”

The NFL announced last month it has closed its separate probe on retired quarterback Peyton Manning, who granted interviews and provided all records sought by league investigators.

Olympics Continued from Page 1B team since 1983. The Americans have won the last three meetings on the Olympic stage against Japan, opening the 2008 Beijing Games with a four-set victory after sweeping Japan in a match at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.

The Americans will face Russia or Serbia in Thursday’s semifinals.

Usain Bolt breezed through another sprint as he makes a run at one final Olympic title in his favorite race.

Bolt easily won a qualifying race Tuesday in the 200 meters, the first step in his bid for the gold Thursday.

And Rio Olympic officials have one less trouble to worry about after a series of mishaps including robberies, stray gunfire and a falling camera outside the basketball arena.

The Olympic diving pool whose water turned a murky green a week ago had reverted to its usual blue Tuesday.

Other highlights from Day 11: Mile High: Faith Kipyegon of Kenya won the women’s 1,500 meters to defeat Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia in the latest installment of their rivalry in the race. The bronze winner was Iowa native Jenny Simpson — the first American woman to ever win a medal in the event.

Vaulting: Brazil has won its second gold of the Rio Games when 22-year-old Thiago Braz da Silva upset Olympic champion Renaud Lavillenie in the men’s pole vault. Lavillenie, of France, first set the Olympic record at 5.98 meters, and boosted by the boisterous home fans, da Silva cleared 6.03 to improve on that mark.

Sam Kendricks of the United States took bronze with 5.85.

Women’s Field Hockey: The United States women’s field hockey team placed fifth at the Olympics, the program’s best finish in 20 years.

The Americans lost their quarterfinal match to Germany Monday. Their final ranking is based on their second-place finish in pool play.

On the Beach: Germany beat Brazil’s top-seeded women’s team at the Copacabana beach volleyball venue Tuesday, topping the hometown and tournament favorites 2118, 21-12, to clinch a spot in the gold medal match.

Jamaica Wins Again: Jamaica already swept the 100-meter sprints with victo-

ries by Usain Bolt and Elaine Thompson. Now it has a 110 hurdles champion in Omar McLeod, who finished with a time of 13.05 seconds. McLeod excelled in track at the University of Arkansas.

Pushed For A Half: Diana Taurasi and the U.S. women’s basketball brushed aside yet another opponent at the Rio Games after being challenged for the first time in the Olympics, albeit for just one half.

While Japan played the Americans tough in the first half, the end result was another blowout victory for the U.S., although the 110-64 dismantling of the Japanese team may have come at a cost. Point guard Sue Bird didn’t play the second half after injuring her right knee in the second quarter. The Americans will meet France in the semifinals Thursday.

Live Streaming: While NBC’s prime-time television ratings are down, fans are clearly seeking out the Olympics on other devices.

The network said Tuesday it had surpassed two billion minutes of live streamed action from the Rio de Janeiro Games. Not only does that comfortably surpass the 818 million streamed minutes for the London Games, it beats by 500 million the number for all previous Olympics combined.

American Dominance: The medal race at the Rio Games will likely remain close going into the final weekend.

For second place, that is. The U.S. — which has left the last five Summer Games with more medals than any other country — is about to make it six in a row. With a handful of events left Tuesday night, the U.S. had 83 medals, 33 more than Britain and 34 more than China.

First Loss: Brazil beat the Americans in the women’s beach volleyball semifinals and ended the gold medal run of three-time Olympic champion Kerri Walsh Jennings. Agatha and Barbara won 22-20, 2118 to earn a matchup in the final against Germany. The best Walsh Jennings and her partner, April Ross, can do is a bronze medal when they play Brazil’s other women’s team Wednesday. Walsh Jennings had won three gold medals with Misty May-Treanor and had never lost an Olympic match. In fact, she had only lost two sets in her Olympic career before falling in straight sets at the Copacabana venue.

Agatha and Barbara are the defending world champions, but they were the second-seeded team in the tournament.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Joel Cornette let everyone see his passion every day.

He demonstrated it on the basketball court by knocking over a water cooler during Butler’s 2003 NCAA Tournament run to the Sweet 16 or soaring over a sea of players for a game-winning dunk against Indiana in 2001. He proved it off the court with his unbridled love for his school, his teammates and fellow Bulldog alums.

Early Tuesday, the 35-yearold Cornette was found dead in a Chicago apartment, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. The office said after an autopsy that the cause and manner of death were pending further studies.

Butler issued a news release saying the Cornette family “has confirmed that their beloved son and brother, Joel, passed away early this morning ...” and stating they believe he died of natural causes.

“They are shocked and devastated by this news,” the release said.

Butler has lost another

Cubs Continued from Page 1B off Travis Wood ended Milwaukee’s 17-inning scoreless streak.

powerful ambassador in Cornette, who played a key role in Butler’s transition from rising mid-major program to NCAA Tournament regular and eventually to national contender.

In four seasons, Cornette scored 1,100 points, grabbed 721 rebounds, played on teams that compiled a record of 100-30 and helped Butler reach its first Sweet 16 in 41 years. He was the first player in school history to score 1,000 points and celebrate 100 victories, and his 144 career blocks and field goal percent of 54.4 are still among the school’s top 10.

After graduating in 2003, Cornette returned to the program as director of basketball operations in 2006-07.

The next year, he followed coach Todd Lickliter to Iowa.

Cornette coached with the Hawkeyes for three seasons, then joined Priority Sports & Entertainment as the director of basketball recruiting in 2012.

Funeral arrangements were pending. to secure its 13th win in 15 games.

In the opener, Chapman got two outs to complete the three-hitter.

The Brewers mustered six hits in 18 innings and were left with seven losses in 10 games amid plenty of bad news.

Anderson, who took a no-hitter into the eighth in his last start against the Cubs, was struck by Bryant’s comebacker. Anderson fielded and threw to first for the second out, but then limped off.

Braun limped off in the fourth after he crumpled into the side wall trying to catch a fly ball down the left field line.

Rizzo’s grab earned him “MVP” chants from the crowd in the fifth.

Notice is hereby given that all persons indebted to the estate are requested to make immediate payment to the undersigned, and creditors having claims against the estate shall file them with the clerk of the above named district court, as provided by law, duly authenticated, for allowance, and unless so filed by the later to occur of four months from the second publication of this notice or one month from the date of mailing of this notice (unless otherwise allowed or paid) a claim is thereafter forever barred.

Dated August 4, 2016 Ellen S. Iske Administrator of the Estate 645 W. Doggie Dr. Safford, AZ 85546 Address Adam D. Otto, ICIS PIN No: AT0009064 Attorney for the Administrator OTTO LAW OFFICE PLLC 123 W. 2nd St. N., PO Box 1356 Newton, IA 50208 Address adam@ottolawyers.com Date of second publication 17th day of August, 2016 Probate Code Section 230 August 10 & 17 CITY OF KELLOGG AUGUST 8, 2016 Kellogg City Council opened the meeting reciting “The Pledge Allegiance.”

Kellogg City Council met in regular session with Mayor Frymoyer presiding.

Council members present: Aldrich, Campbell, Wertz, Avery, and Hinshaw.

Motion by Avery and seconded

by Wertz to accept the minutes as mailed and the financial statement as prepared. Passed unanimously.

Don Benson addressed the council concerning the yearly payment of $14,916 to Rhonda Guy for certification of the Water and Sewer reports since April 1, 2014. His understanding is she was contracted for one year or shortly after. It appears this is now approaching 2 years plus. In Rhonda's report she has given the Council October 1, 2016 as the dead line to have Calvin licensed.

Dottie Sharp from the American Legion Riders requested to have High St. blocked off from Railroad to the Alley on September 17th to sponsor Help Us Help Others bike ride. Motion by Avery and seconded by Hinshaw to permit blocking off the street. Passed unanimously.

Randy De Rues addressed the council concerning the water shut off behind the building located at 221 High St. The water shut off is in the alley under the blacktop.

The building is listed with Iowa Realty as Commercial or Residential. If it would be sold as a residential it would be difficult for the City to shut off if necessary. He is inquiring if the City would assist with one half of the cost of $1850 to moving the water shut off closer to the building. Motion by Aldrich and seconded by Avery to assist in covering one half the cost of $925.00.

Ayes: Aldrich, Campbell, Wertz, and Avery.

Nay: Hinshaw.

Gene Whisenand addressed the council to construct a fence on the North West corner of his property. He will need to have a drawing and a $5.00 for a permit.

He is also concerned about the notice he was sent to cleanup his property. His concern is why someone didn't address him first before receiving a notice from the Attorney. The notice was sent out prior to May 9th. He is asking for more time for cleanup due to the cost of the dumping fees.

Most of the notice sent out have not cleanup their properties or contacted the council.

Kellogg Lions sign committee reported they have reached the fund raising goal for the Kellogg LED Sign. The cost of a 3 x 6 sign is $25,817 and the 3 x 8 sign is $29,635. The sign company will be bringing a demo sign on the weekend of August 26th to give the citizens an opportunity to view the sign. Motion by Avery and seconded by Wertz to assist with the cost of the heading “Welcome To Kellogg” with the cost of $4,000.

Passed unanimously.

Mayor Frymoyer is asking for volunteers to serve on the Home Town Pride Committee. Please contact the Mayor or Council if interested.

Mayor Frymoyer reported Mike Patterson will be retiring this fall.

He wants to discuss the possibility of hiring a 2nd full time employee. He would like to hire someone with an EMT certification and also someone that would get his or her water and sewer licenses. This would also help the City with always having an EMT here 24-7. If the City would take the $14,916 paying Rhonda and Mike's salary of $12,500 it would be the majority of the second salary.

This would also not leave the city with the possibility of always having a licensed operator.

This will be put on the agenda for September.

Motion by Aldrich and seconded

by Campbell to sell the blocks from the old wall for a $1.00 each. Passed unanimously.

Maintenance reported there are water curb boxed that need to be dug up.

Avery reported there is a wash out north of Archie Rawlins that needs to be reshaped. The water is running down the hill and through the alley causing a washout by the alley.

Calvin will call back the Lock Smith.

Wertz will be taking care of the dog concerns.

Motion by Avery and seconded

by Aldrich for R & J'S to block off Front Street from High to the Alley on August 27th from 1:00 to 7:00 for fun days.

Passed unanimously.

Motion by Avery and seconded

by Hinshaw to present bills.

Astrograph

There are many problems that fade from neglect. Ignore them and they go away. Refuse to call them “problems” at all and they become something else entirely -- mere situations or even non-issues. It’s a strategy that can work as Venus and Pluto form an auspicious trine to help us focus ourselves on the big picture and what really matters.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 17). The cosmos trumpet a welcome to your year of big love. You’ll give and receive at a more immersive level and feel what it’s like to be a fixture in the lives of others.

This will bring pressure at times, as well as pleasure and

joy beyond measure. Family life improves in January when an agitation is eliminated or a wild element tamed. Scorpio and Libra adore you. Lucky numbers: 3, 22, 14, 39 and 50.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Self-acceptance creates the congruence you need to move forward. If you’re not self-accepting enough to feel comfortable in all you do, baby steps toward self-love will still make a positive difference.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When you think, “I don’t have time for this!” but then “this!” is all you’re doing, it’s a signal that the disparity between your higher self and lower self is

mnhr@mclaneco.com SM-NE1589549-0818

at its ultimate tensile strength.

What gives? Roll toward your chosen side and hang on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your social graces will put you in an excellent position with a group you might have been intimidated by once upon a time. Now you realize you’re in the same league, and you’re about to find out more about the games.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Set the paces. So what if they have to run to keep up with you? They need the “exercise.”

Besides, they are depending on you to keep them at the top of their game.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Commitment is the essence of style. Once you’ve made

your choice, wear it and wear it hard. And if you didn’t make your choice, and you’re dealing with the product of unintention, this is all the more reason to own it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll be impressed by someone’s talent, productivity or behavior. Truly, it’s because you have these same capabilities. You’ve exercised them in the past. You’ll do it again in the near future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Don’t expect a smooth, straight ride. Roll with the turmoil, keeping your goal in mind the entire time. You’ll likely land with what you desire, safe inside your grasp.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

This is no time to let things linger. If ignoring the problem isn’t working and you simply can’t leave the situation alone, gather up your inner fire and get ready to deal directly, headon. Kill it with one punch.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The one who shares a bad mood with you is a true friend.

Some would call this emotional dumping, or venting, but you just call it “having a gripe.” There’s a bond building here.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though social media makes this harder and harder, to a large extent you’re still in control of what people know about you. You’ll spend some

of the day shaping your image to maximum effect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Try not to blame the poor ignorant souls who throw a wrench in the works out of sheer inexperience. Those who know better will do better. Teach them and help them practice until they get it right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The superstar may exhibit great strengths but that doesn’t mean they can show you the way. The best instructors will be the ones with marginal talent who have made just about every mistake there is to make.
