Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Heather McKee enjoys a hot dog at the 12th annual Thanks With Franks event held Thursday at the Jasper County Courthouse square. There were approximately 2,000 people at the event, and 10,000 hot dogs were given out for free as way for local businesses to thank customers. See more photos on page 10A.

Thousands converge on courthouse lawn for annual event

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Cheers went up from a tent on the Jasper County Courthouse lawn when an announcement was made Thursday evening.

The winning team of Thanks With Franks “Top Dog” award as most popular hot dog concoction — as voted by the sampling public — was from Park Centre. The staff of Park Centre successfully defended its title as having the best hot dog at an event designed to help local businesses show appreciation to customers.

The 12th annual event, hosted by the Young Professionals of Jasper County, brought approximately 2,000 people to the courthouse square, and 10,000 hot dogs were given away. Other booths and events were set up as a form of community outreach.

About 40 area businesses and organizations came up with common and uncommon hot dog toppings, with the hot dogs and buns supplied to them.

Four downtown businesses were approved Tuesday for micro grants through the Downtown Micro Grant program.

The Newton City Council approved The Farmer’s Wife, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Gregory J. Bruns and Randy and Marilyn Terlouw for grants to make improvements to their properties ranging from new signage, painting and window replacement.

“The establishment

“I thought this went really successfully,” said Sveta Miller, president of the Young Professionals of Jasper County. “The weather really could not have been better, and people from HyVee and so many other businesses and groups helped out to make things go well.”

The Young Professionals have put on the business appreciation and charity event since 2005, and Park Centre’s unique concoction was merely the latest in series of hot dog innovations that has lasted more than a decade.

of the Micro-Grant Program encourages downtown owners to reinvest in their property and business in accordance with the Downtown Historic District Design Guidelines,” city administrator Bob Knabel said. “The $100,000 set aside for the program comes from funds bonded in June 2015.”

124 N. Second Ave. W. The Farmer’s Wife owner Bonnie Terpstra was approved for $2,629 for new signage, a new awning and painting.

The total project is estimated to cost $6,019.

The building at 124 N. Second Ave. W., which holds The Farmer’s Wife, is a contributing structure to the downtown historic district because of its level of retained historic integrity related specifically to the modernization movement of the mid-20th century, which drastically altered the building’s facade, Knabel said.

The proposed project improves the aesthetic of the building and is considered a step in the right direction.

Light agenda on tap Monday meeting is final before bond vote

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Another light agenda has been released for a Newton Community School District Board of Education regular meeting.

Monday’s meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. at the EJH Beard Administration Center, will be the board’s final meeting before Tuesday’s bond election. Voters will be able to decide if a $26.9 million bond should pass, with voting taking place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Jasper County Community Center.

The bond requires 60 percent ap-

proval to pass.

The agenda for the board’s Aug. 22 meeting was light, and the agenda for Monday’s meeting has even fewer items on it. There appear to be no major action items involving purchases of new Callaghan products or services.

The board will consideration electing a delegate assembly representative to attend the Iowa Association of School Boards’ annual convention in November.

An open enrollment report will be presented by Superintendent Bob Callaghan.

WHERE IT’S AT 75 CENTS

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a thousand toothbrushes should hopefully be worth at least a heightened awareness among Jasper County youth about the importance of brushing.

That’s the hope Jasper County Public Health Coordinator Lisa Damman has for a new set of materials supplied by Delta Dental. Damman displayed some of the 1,000 toothbrushes — of various sizes — at Thursday’s monthly Jasper County Board of Health meeting, as well as books and other materials that could be used for educating young people about dental health “There are curriculums to follow for kindergarten through second grade, and one for third through fifth grade,” Damman said.

“’Smart Smiles’ is the name of the program.

There are books, an audio CD, a DVD and a model ‘mouth’ to use for demonstration.”

The Delta program was one of two recent programs discussed Thursday in which the Jasper County Health Department has recently obtained resources.

The other is the Love Our Kid Injury Prevention Grant from the Iowa Department of Public Health’s Emergency Services Division, which will provide the JCHD with about $2,000 to cover staffing and supplies to help child injuries.

The areas of prevention focus are suffocation, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, shaken baby, car seats, drowning and burns.

Another grant discussed at the meeting was funding sought in an effort to seek recognition from the Public Health Accreditation Board. JCHD Director Becky Pryor said she hasn’t received notice yet

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Many discussions were held over the last several years about a state-funded program and how it would impact the Newton Community School District.

With the Teacher Leadership and Compensation Grant coming to fruition for Newton schools in 2016-17, in terms of new position titles and a new system in place, there is optimism the program will create positive opportunities for students and, in turn, students.

Longtime social studies teacher Mark Burnett is both an instructional coach and the TLC program coordinator for the district. He’s also one of eight veteran educators in the district who are fulltime instructional coaches this year, thanks in part to TLC funding approved by both the state legislature and Gov. Terry Branstad.

Deb Rose led a committee that spent more than a year putting together a grant proposal submitted to the Iowa Department of Education last fall. The Newton proposal was approved, along with 96 other districts, bringing the total number of Iowa districts in the TLC system to 295 or 88 percent of the state’s districts.

The Department of Education defines TLC as a system that “rewards effective teachers with leadership opportunities and higher pay, attracts promising new teachers with competitive starting salaries and more support and fosters greater collaboration for all teachers to learn from each other.”

The Newton team of coaches receive a stipend for their roles, as do the educators who are among the district’s 10 direct instructional leaders, or DILs, three building instructional leaders, or BILs, and 22 mentor teachers. All of the educators in the district will receive release days in which to meet and

He said the combination of instructional coaches and local data sharing among them make the grant program a unique way to improve how instruction is delivered to students.

collaborate with other teachers and TLC team leaders.

Burnett said some of how TLC will look is still taking shape, as the leadership personnel haven’t held enough meetings yet this school year to know how the collaboration is going. Special meetings and professional development days will both be utilized for TLC collaboration.

Burnett said the term “coach,” as it’s used within the TLC model, is not so much a director giving instructions as it is a collaborator.

“When kids see teachers cooperate and see teamwork between teachers and administration, they see positive relationships,” Burnett said. “One of the many elements is to watch each other in action.

We spend so much time in our own classrooms, we don’t get to see how other teachers teach. This allows me to go teach a teacher’s class for 20 minutes or so, so they can go observe someone else.”

The program allows teachers to share their best practices with each other in new ways and to use data locally without waiting for it to be sorted out at the state or na-

tional level.

“If parents want to know the benefits of what’s going on here, it’s a funnel of ideas going that help the teachers reach the students,” Burnett said. “To me, it’s about getting more for the students than it is getting more out of the students.”

Burnett spoke at a recent NCSD board meeting about the grant program, with some jokes made about BILs and DILs and the myriad of acronyms involved. However, Burnett made a point that the program will allow teachers of more varied experience levels to share teaching ideas in new ways.

Burnett has reasons to believe the TLC program will continue to be funded in future state budget cycles. Branstad and many legislators have long supported the concept.

“This is something the governor wants to keep going,” Burnett said. “The positive feedback is such that I’m very confident it will be funded again.”

as to whether the county has been awarded the grant.

Home Care Manager Brenda Steenhoek received applause from both the three board members present and others in announcing she completed 172 supervising visits with home health care aides within the month of August.

“Now I can catch up on some things around the office,” Steenhoek said.

In other action Thursday, the board: • Heard from Kevin Luetters, the county’s environmental health director, regarding recent developments. He said the amount of rabies cases is at an expected level for this time of year. He also said he will miss working with Laurie Jackson, whose position of GIS coordinator was recently eliminated by the county Board of Supervisors, as she was helpful in coordinating many efforts.

• Heard from board chair Margot Voshell regarding sidewalks. She noticed recently some sidewalks in Newton have shifted in ways that create a large lip that creates a tripping hazard, and speaking with City of Newton Public Works Director Keith Laube revealed the city repairing every shifting sidewalk in the city would be impractical. Businesses and homeowners are responsible for repairing their own sidewalks in Newton.

• Heard from Pryor regarding the Visiting Nurses of Iowa. She read a letter from Stacy Jobs about VNS no longer provide maternal and child health services in Jasper County as of Sept. 30 after six years of serving the county. Pryor said the JCHD has looked into working Marion County on a contract, but that will not be a viable option at this stage.

dance team, NHS cheerleaders, the NHS girls swim team and the After Prom Committee will all be considered.

An open forum period, where the public can sign up to address any relevant school district topic, is scheduled.

Bruns has received a quote from Jeff Seals Construction to repair the building facade for $1,000 and plans to recover and rehabilitate the existing awnings frames and install two new awning on the building. He also will paint the building in a four color scheme including the body of building a dark gray color, trim around the windows will be white and accent colors on the detail features.

“The multi-color paint scheme provides a nice aesthetic improvement and highlights detail elements of the building,” Knabel said.

306 First Ave. W. “Historically known as Bridges Auto Supply, the building at 306 First Ave. W. retains a generally high level of historic integrity and reflects a significant historic period in the life of the community when a major transportation route through central Iowa ran through Newton,” Knabel said.

Randy and Marilyn Terlouw plan to replace windows in the upper level of the building using the $5,000 in grant funds approved.

The total cost of the window replacement project is $20,113.

The proposed frame of the Pella brand replacement windows aligns with the downtown design guidelines and would be appropriate for the context of the building, Knabel said.

Learning the hard way D

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

iary of a fisherwoman, take three.

It’s Fishing 101: always be careful when casting. You want to hook a fish, not a person. Well, my pride took a big hit when I failed this important lesson. I finally showed my lack of fishing experience while in a boat.

My fishing partner, Tim, and I were having a great time. The water level was high because of the rain the previous night, so the fish weren’t biting as much as usual. We had both caught a few, but we weren’t getting the same amount of hits. Tim steered the boat to another part of the lake to try a different area with a different lure, hoping for better success.

He pointed out a place I should try. I had to turn my body in my chair a little more than I had been. Without thinking

much about it, I brought my fishing pole behind my head to cast out.

I knew instantly when it happened.

You normally don’t get resistance when you bring your arm forward. I had too much forward momentum to stop completely, but I took my normal umph off the cast.

Something solid flew over my head and splashed in the water. It was Tim’s Cedar Rapids Kernels hat. Yep, I had just hit him in the head with my lure.

Three things went through my head: 1. Oh my god, did I really just snag him?

2. He’s going to be mad at me.

3. Oh no! His hat!

Answer to the first, yes. I had indeed just hit Tim in the head with my lure. As for Tim, he wasn’t mad — only slight-

ly stunned. And the third, the lure was stuck in his hat so I reeled it back in successfully.

In all of my youth, I can’t ever remember hitting anyone with a hook. I would have remembered this feeling. I looked back to check on him to assure myself he was still conscious. He was, thankfully, just had look of disbelief on his face.

It was minor. Only a small scrape and a very wet hat. He was the one bleeding, yet I was the one crying. I was so sure I had hurt him bad. I could barely look at him after that first glance. I was ashamed of myself — such a rookie mistake, and I’m not a rookie anymore.

I asked if he was OK, and he said he was. I handed him his hat, eyes still fixed on the bottom of the boat. Tim freed the hat from the lure, wrung it out and put it back on, saying he was glad he had it on otherwise the hook would been in his head.

My heart sunk, imagining that very thing happening. He asked if I was OK, which was ridiculous. He was the one

hurt, this shouldn’t be about me. At that point, I looked him in the eye and said “as long as you’re OK, I’m OK.” We fished for a while longer with me being extra careful when casting my line.

He caught another fish, and after a few more tries with no bites, we packed up and headed for shore.

I felt a lot better when I got a good look at the cut and cleaned it up, and I realized he didn’t need the hospital or stitches, just a little Advil for the bump on his head.

His biggest worry was not about his head, but if I would now stop wanting to go fishing with him. Well, I may have scared myself but not that bad. That should have been the least of his worries.

A hard lesson was learned, but that’s not going to keep me from fishing or going out on the boat. It’s too much fun.

However, now he talked about wearing a hard hat or a helmet instead of a ballcap.

Very funny, Tim. Contact Pam Rodgers at prodgers@newtondailynews.com

So Anyway Dana King

The club sandwich generation

I am so “over” summer.

As the mother of three adults, grandmother of one, daughter and daughter-in-law of ... how do I say this without shooting myself in the foot ... parents who ... well ... they are ... ummm ... oh heck, they’re getting older, I find myself “doing for” more people than I ever imagined I would be at this point in my life. However, I realize I’m not alone since those in my situation have our very own moniker ... we’re card-carrying members of the “club sandwich generation” — we’re grandparents caught between the demands of supporting children (whether in the home or financially) and providing care to our aging parents.

My mom has been dealing with some major health issues recently. Since July 13, she has found herself in the care of some wonderful (and a few not-as-wonderful) nurses, doctors and support staff at hospitals in Sedalia, Mo., Kansas City, Lincoln, Neb., Red Oak and Des Moines — five hospitals in three states in two months. (FYI — since she has more than qualified herself as an expert on hospitals, she rates Iowa Methodist as numero uno.)

For me this has meant trying to juggle work, home and family, while spending as much time with her as possible by driving the 3 to 3.5 hours during her out-of-state stays to be with her every weekend, spending many nights trying to sleep in chairs in both waiting rooms and hospital rooms, early morning trips to Methodist before work and back again throughout the evening once I clocked out, while adding 3,000 miles to my car.

My youngest, Carson, began his third year of college at Iowa State University. Two of his former roommates moved this summer and with them went the couch, recliners, coffee table, etc. We had agreed when the time came, we would pass our living room furniture on to him and we kept that promise. The only problem was, we didn’t have time to shop for new furniture, so my living room sat rather bare for most of August.

We’re also enjoying spending bonus time with Josh, our oldest, and his 4-year-old. I’ll never complain when any of the kids call and ask what I’m fixing for supper because they want to come home and hang out with us. But let’s face it, no work gets done when you have a 4-year-old grandson at your house.

My mom is now living with us, at least through the winter, and I would have it no other way. We’re doing what we need to do and we’re making it work.

However, over the weekend, my father-in-law fell and broke his femur, his elbow and his lower arm.

That meant more days off for hubby and trips (and more miles on my car) to be with his dad in the hospital in Council Bluffs.

Seriously, I’m concerned my house will resemble Charlie’s hovel in “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” before long. I’ll have one giant bed in my dining room and just start filling it with my kids’ grandparents.

It was a Saturday morning in late May, 1977, and I was traveling from Cornell College “home” to Arkansas. I found myself in Newton without any money and many miles to go. My parents had just moved and I had just recently found out exactly where Arkansas is. I had just said good-

Iowa is being out-educated I requested a report from the Iowa Department of Education from its website. I wanted a breakdown of student numbers by general categories of reasons students are placed in Special Ed. I received an emailed response from the person assigned to this request, who decided to include on the subject line the label “low priority” along with the subject of the request. It seems Iowa’s education system has no idea why students are assigned to Special Ed, except that they need help, and the Department of Education website explains the reason reflected in Iowa’s education theory used to train educators: the students are disabled.

I walked into the bank on the town square as the doors were locked behind me just before noon. I asked to have money drawn on my Sioux City bank account, and the teller sent me off to the manager. He sat with me for 30 minutes to clarify the need and execute the transaction for an 18-year-old boy of doubtful appearance. I asked for the absolute minimum I might need,

to lower his risk, and he encouraged me to increase my request for safety. He was kind and respectful for a boy though I knew I was an idiot. If someone knows who this man is, they should know I have said the occasional prayer for this man over the decades. I have also had a high opinion of anyone from Newton, because he felt comfortable being openly kind, and none of the tellers seemed surprised or disapproving. May God bless the people of Newton, Iowa.

munity, of the tremendous need there is for a unified support system for United Way. I want to highlight just a few of the things that United Way does.

• All of the money raised in Jasper County stays in Jasper County helping its citizens.

• United Way offers opportunities for one donation that will continue to help dozens of Jasper County nonprofits continue with their efforts to help those in need to learn and practice

skills that will ensure a healthy community.

• UWJC is able to raise funds for small nonprofits that are run by volunteers or small staffs that do not have the resources to fund raise for themselves at the same level as Untied Way. Please consider donating, volunteering and supporting your United Way of Jasper County.

Everyone is a winner.

that is out-educating us — knows the Iowa perception of a disability is wrong because other countries perceive a student with normal capacity to learn, but demonstrating a problem, means the curriculum has a defect and/or the teaching has a defect, which means effective remediation is required.

An analogy of what Iowa education is doing would be that the system breaks the leg of a student through the use of ineffective curriculum and/or ineffective teaching, sees that as a disability of the student, and puts them in Special Ed. so the disability can be supported artificially (through crutches, walker, etc.). The proper response would be to repair the damage caused by employing effective remediation (to first repair the break) so normal capacity to learn can be effectively utilized and the Special Ed. support system is no longer needed. Effective remediation in-

volves beginning at the lowest level of concepts and effectively teaching them up through the grade levels until students are where they need to be. The lessons students already know will go quickly, but the ones they have not learned will then weave in with and then build on these. That is not what is happening in Iowa. In fact, Iowa educators are completely clueless on what constitutes effective remediation.

I forwarded my exchange to Ryan Wise (head of the Iowa Department of Education) and the governor’s office. Ryan Wise has yet to respond. There is absolutely no comprehension in Iowa education that the many countries out-educating us use these student anomalies and remediation needs to constantly reassess and improve the effectiveness of their teaching methods and curriculum.

Teen’s friendship is strained after moving five miles away DEAR ABBY: We used to live in a neighborhood where my 13-year-old daughter’s best friend, “Mandy,” still lives. They would play together and visit often and are well-suited in maturity and personality. Since we moved, Mandy has been to our new home (five miles away) a dozen times.

The last several times we have invited her to come over, she has been unable to, which I completely understand. People are busy. But recently, I have received no response at all from her mother. (Mandy was invited to my daughter’s sleepover, and I was not told whether she was coming or not. She didn’t.)

My daughter is heartbroken, but I feel I have done all I can do to offer a chance for them to get together. I have emailed, texted, Facebooked and called and left a message. I emailed the mother asking if I had offended her, or if her daughter no longer wanted to be friends anymore. Mandy’s mom indicated there was no offense; they just have been super-busy. (Our daughters email each other several times a week, so I think they still would like to be friends.)

Clearly, I can’t force the woman to be more responsive, but how should I handle this? And what should I tell my daughter, who misses her friend so much? — NOT THAT FAR AWAY DEAR NOT THAT FAR: Not knowing Mandy’s mother, I can’t render an opinion about whether she’s leveling with you about her schedule.

She MAY be super-busy, experiencing family or health problems or simply not want to drive her daughter 10 miles for a play date. As I see it, you have no choice other than to let her know Mandy is always welcome.

Tell your daughter what her mother told you — that she’s extremely busy, and that you are sorry it has limited the time she gets to spend with her friend.

At the same time, make a point of getting your daughter involved in new activities, so she can meet other girls and develop new interests so she’ll have less

time to dwell on missing Mandy.

P.S. Have you offered to take your daughter to Mandy’s house so her mother won’t have to do all the driving?

DEAR ABBY: My husband of seven years has always placed Wife No. 1 (I’m his second) on a pedestal. He often calls her to drive him to doctors’ appointments, take care of his finances — he even puts some of our bills in her name. He also talks to her about our marital problems and what we do in the bedroom. I feel like second string here.

I’m the mother of his children and I have always stood by him. I even made an extra effort to befriend the ex, only to find out she used it to her advantage to get more buried into our personal lives.

What can I do about this situation?

I’m ready to call it quits, but I’m concerned that the two of them will make me out to be a selfish monster for wanting to come first or for leaving. Please help me. — FED UP IN TEXAS DEAR FED UP: I’ll try. Draw the line and offer your husband the option of seeing a licensed marriage counselor.

If he refuses — and he probably will — get some counseling without him.

While you are there, describe your husband’s continued involvement with his ex and discuss whether being unable to tolerate this “marriage of three” means you are “selfish.” Frankly, I don’t understand how you have tolerated it this long.

Court records show Kyle Jones and Brent Jones, both of Slater, and Bart Bollie of Madrid, were charged Tuesday with fifth-degree theft, unlawful possession of wild ginseng root from state land and unlawful possession of young wild ginseng. They had valid permits to harvest from private property but it’s illegal to take the root from state land.

Key ruling on Dakota Access pipeline due by end of Friday BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge has said he will rule by Friday on the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s lawsuit that challenges federal permits for the four-state, $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. The lawsuit alleges that the pipeline, which would be placed less than a mile upstream of the tribe’s reservation, could impact drinking water for more than 8,000 tribal members and millions who rely on it downstream. Protesters and private security guards have skirmished on private land, where the tribe says construction has disturbed ancient sacred sites. Here’s a look at the planned pipeline and the tribe’s ongoing protest: AFTER FIERY TRAIN DERAILMENTS, A MASSIVE PIPELINE PLANNED Owned by Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, the $3.8 billion, 1,172-mile project would carry nearly a half-million barrels of crude oil daily from North Dakota’s oil fields through South Dakota and Iowa to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Illinois, where shippers can access Midwest and Gulf Coast markets. Announced in 2014, supporters said the pipeline would create more markets and reduce truck and oil train traffic — the latter of which has been a growing concern after a spate of fiery derailments of trains carrying North Dakota crude.

TRIBES SUE OVER WATER, SACRED SITES The Sioux tribe sued federal regulators for approving the oil pipeline, challenging the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ decision to grant permits at more than 200 water crossings.

Filed on behalf of the tribe by environmental group Earthjustice, the suit says the project violates several federal laws, including the Nation-

al Historic Preservation Act, and will disturb sacred sites outside of the 2.3-million acre reservation. A separate lawsuit filed Thursday by a South Dakota tribe also challenges the decisions to grant the permits.

ETP says the pipeline includes safeguards such as leak detection equipment, and workers monitoring the pipeline remotely in Texas could close block valves on it within three minutes if a breach is detected.

PROTESTERS SET UP CAMP, A MOVEMENT GROWS Since April, a nonviolent tribal protest held mostly by members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe has been set up at a “spirit camp” at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers in the path of the pipeline. It’s grown considerably, as they’ve been joined by other American Indians and non-Native Americans from across the country, including celebrities such as “Di-

Gov. Jack Dalrymple on Thursday activated the North Dakota National Guard ahead of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s impending federal ruling.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say an Iowa man has confessed to a 14-year-old South Florida slaying and is now charged with murder.

The Broward Sheriff ’s Office said in a news release Thursday that 38-year-old Joshua Odom confessed to the 2002 crime last month to police in Des Moines, Iowa, where he was living.

A Des Moines police spokesman says Odom waived extradition and was returned to Florida face charges in the killing of 70-year-old Richard Busey of Wilton Manors.

Investigators say Odom agreed to go to Busey’s apartment for drinks and sex in April 2002 but instead killed

Busey for drug money.

Des Moines police said in a news release that Odom approached a sheriff ’s deputy at the building that houses the sheriff ’s department on Aug. 11 and said he wanted to confess to killing someone. The deputy contacted the police department and a detective interviewed Odom. Des Moines police then contacted Florida investigators who said the details Odom provided matched the Busey slaying.

Odom was arrested in Iowa on Aug. 25 and brought to Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday.

Odom is charged with first-degree murder and theft. Court records don’t list an attorney. Odom had no criminal charges pending in Iowa.

Months after firing, warden reinstated with back pay IOWA CITY (AP) — A deputy Iowa prison warden who was fired in March has been reinstated and awarded $40,000 in back pay, a raise and additional vacation and sick time, records show.

The Iowa Department of Corrections fired Michael Kane as deputy warden of the maximum-security prison in Anamosa for alleged rules violations that haven’t been released. But the state reversed its decision last

month, reinstating Kane with full pay and benefits and moving him to a $104,000-a-year administrative job in its offender services division in Coralville.

The Department of Administrative Services refused to release records showing why Kane was terminated and why the state backed off. Disciplinary records are exempt from Iowa’s open records law, spokeswoman Tami Wiencek said.

Stability balls help Monroe third-graders concentrate

Mike Mendenhall/Prairie City News Monroe Elementary School third-graders Trent Nickelson, left, and Seriah Nolan craft bridges from foam and construction paper Friday while sitting on their stability ball seats. ME third-grade teacher Stephanie Berg started the pilot program during the 2015-16 school year to help younger students fight the need to fidget and focus.

in overall number of student office referrals associated with distracting movement or actions which get the student and their peers off task. Berg will also look for improvements in individual students.

So far, the experiment appears to be working. Berg has reported less time spent refocusing her students from fidgeting, excess movement and distracting behavior.

Each ball is about $10 and there is a funding challenge. The money for the balls comes from the school’s PTA. Each teacher gets a budget from PTA and Berg chose to use her allotment on the stability balls.

The third grade teacher does spend time in the gym before and after school airing

up the seats, and she’s found certain styles puncture or deflate more easily.

Berg doesn’t mind the bouncing, in fact, she sits on a stability ball at her desk. But there are rules. Students are expected to keep the ball on the ground at all times. She has observed students experiencing core and back muscle soreness initially, but those muscle groups strengthen after a few weeks and those issues go away.

“The first two weeks are pretty intense,” she said.

“Honestly, by the third week, we hardly ever see it.”

And for the students who choose not to use the stability balls there are still traditional desk chairs available.

of Berg’s third graders, the opportunity to bounce on a big rubber ball all day is too much fun to pass up.

At ME’s Meet the Teacher Night, Berg explains the program to her third grade parents and allows them to try out stability balls. After the inaugural year, Berg said the students knew they were assigned the teachers with the bouncing chairs.

Seriah Nolan is in Berg’s class and said she likes her new seat because it’s purple and it bounces. When asked what’s different about her desk chair in second grade Nolan said, “It’s not as bouncy.”

SM-NE2740335-0923

MONROE — Students in Stephanie Berg’s third grade class at Monroe Elementary returned from gym Friday afternoon to “build bridges” from construction paper and foam.

It’s a fairly traditional elementary school classroom with 22 big, round differences. Instead of desk chairs, each of Berg’s 22 students are lightly bouncing up and down on stability balls.

The alternative seating is part of a pilot program Berg has been testing since the 2015-16 school year. It’s based on a theory that constant movement will help these energetic third graders stay alert, focused and on task.

Berg pitched the stability ball program to ME Principal Ryan Roozeboom before the beginning of last school year. She has a master’s degree from Drake University in special education and experience with behavior psychology. She observed former PCM Middle School instructor Jennifer Ropes experiment with the stability balls in both the special education program and in the general student population with English and language students.

“It’s a question of how do you keep the kids in the classroom and engaged,” Berg said. “All of the psychology journals say we need more physical education, we need more recess, we need more movement.”

Berg saw positive results with the older students in Prairie City, and when she came to ME two years ago, she thought the stability balls could work at the elementary level.

“I said, ‘Ryan, I have this crazy idea but I think it will work,” Berg said. “‘If you give me the green light to pilot it, I really want to try it.’ The balls were really successful last year.”

With positive results in 2015-16, the program has been extended into a second year and a second classroom.

Fellow ME third grade teacher Kathy Keuning is also offering the stability balls to students.

The most apparent benefit is the alternative seats allow special education students and students with ADHD to stay in the classroom. Berg said the seating also appears to help general education kids focus. She no longer sees kids falling asleep or putting their heads on the desk.

“It keeps the brain going,” she said.

The program is not schoolwide, but Berg said ME fourth grade teachers have begun exploring the stability balls for their classrooms, as many of her former students said they like the seating option.

Roozeboom said he’s seen the trend growing in other school districts to include standing desks and rubber bands which allow students to bounce their feet.

“It allows the students to naturally be moving, but also paying attention,” he said.

“The kids enjoy it. They don’t know it’s helping them with fidgeting while also focusing, which is kind of the point.”

ME staff plan to evaluate the program at the end of this year to see if the benefits of the balls outweigh cost.

Berg and Roozeboom think it would be difficult to correlate the stability balls to improvements in grades and test scores. So the educators will be looking for a decrease

Cardinals halt six-match losing skid

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Dropping their sixth volleyball match in a row, Newton High’s Cardinals turned the corner at home Thursday. They had fallen to Class 3A 15th-ranked North Polk’s Comets 21-15, 21-18 in the first match of the night.

To end the triangular, Newton faced South Tama’s Trojans and the Cardinals rang up their third win of the season.

They defeated the Trojans, 2117, 21-16. They led 11-1 in the second set.

“It felt good to get the ‘W’ tonight,” senior Taylor Shipley said. “We just decided to connect as a team in the last match.

We put everything together we’ve been working so hard for.”

North Polk went 2-0 on the Cardinals’ court, beating South Tama 21-18, 21-11.

Newton pushed out to a 4-2 lead on North Polk to open the competition. The Comets rattled off five straight points to take the lead.

The Cardinals trailed 10-9 when senior Ryanne Rausch toed the service line. Rausch served up three points, including an ace serve and a kill

Jaquars swim past Aquagirls

ANKENY — Lindsey Blommers recorded the lone event win for NCMP’s Aquagirls in Thursday’s dual swim meet against host Ankeny Centennial’s Jaquars.

Blommers won the 100yard breaststroke in 1 minute, 9.45 seconds, which is a new NCMP record. Blommers

broke the 29-year-old team mark a week ago at Grinnell in 1:09.47. She has the seventh-best time in the event in the state this season.

Ankeny Centennial won the 10 other varsity races in the Ankeny YMCA pool. The Jaquars decked the Aquagirls, 133-37.

The Cardinal volleyball team battled a good Dallas Center-Grimes team Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The match went five sets with the Fillies leaving the NHS gym with the win, and leaving the Cardinals close but with no conference win yet.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets over the hump.

Newton had lost six matches in a row after starting the season with two victories. All seven of the Cardinals’ matches have been played at home.

They finally gave their fans another victory Thursday night, beating South Tama.

Most of us think football in the fall, but there are several other sports going on. Newton’s volleyball team, NCMP’s Aquagirls and the Newton High cross country teams are finding their identities right now. All of the teams have experienced seniors and juniors to lead the way, but also strong younger athletes making marks.

The Newton High boys opened the Class 4A golf season Tuesday. Again, it’s all a work in progress — as a Cardinal volleyball player told me earlier this week.

Newton High’s junior varsity football team’s offense moved 74 yards for a potential tying touchdown and extra point in the fourth quarter Thursday.

The Cardinals trailed visiting Ballard Murphy 14-7 when Aaron Bartels made an interception to set up the final drive of the game.

Jacob Murphy snared a pass from quarterback Ryan Barr for a 9-yard touchdown catch. The Bombers got a hand on Murphy’s extra-point kick, which pushed the ball off the mark, leaving it 14-13.

All the scoring in the game came in the second half. Ballard tallied its 14 points in the third quarter.

Down 14-0, Newton got on

Witnessing the growth of the student-athletes as individuals and as teams is tremendous. Young people never cease to amaze me even after all these years of working as a sports journalist.

Turning back to football, Sept. 23 is a big date for Newton High School football. It’s homecoming. The Cardinals will be back off a two-week road game stint.

Another reason Sept. 23 is big — Newton will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Cardinals winning the Central Iowa Conference championship in 1966. Members of the 1966 football team will be recognized between the freshman and varsity football games at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

What team is Newton facing that night? Marshalltown. In 1966, Newton clinched a share of the CIC title with a 32-13 win at Marshalltown. The Cardinals wrapped up the title the next week, beating Ames 13-0, for a 7-1 mark.

I’ve been gathering information for a feature on the 1966 Cardinals. Several of the team members have given

the scoreboard at the 7:36 mark of the fourth period on a 14-yard TD run by Damir Gumerov. Murphy kicked the extra point.

Newton was hampered by eight turnovers in the game. The Cardinal JV fell to 0-2.

Bartels had two interceptions on the night. Other defensive standouts for Newton were Jerome Harris, Mason Lee and Clayton Baltisberg.

Murphy made four catches for 85 yards while Barr went 10-of-15 passing foe 178 yards. Barr threw one TD pass and two interceptions.

Leading the running attack was Logan Zibert with 66 yards on 10 carries. He also made four catches for 79 yards.

This game was a late addition to the Cardinal schedule. Newton hosts Burlington at 5 p.m. Thursday at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

phone interviews to me and several have shared memories in emails.

The 2016 Cardinals open Class 4A District 4 action Sept. 23 against Marshalltown. Yes, it will be a big night at H.A. Lynn Stadium, so don’t miss it.

Four area high school football teams open district play Friday night.

Class 3A and below begin the drive to the playoffs.

Around here all week, the college football talk has been about the CyHawk game Saturday between Iowa and Iowa State at Iowa City. I’m neutral on the subject. My K-State Wildcats lost to Stanford last Friday. It is a loss I can live with because the Wildcats played pretty well and had opportunities to win at Stanford.

I’ll get plenty of football this weekend — high school on Friday, college on Saturday and NFL on Sunday.

Big Kansas City Chiefs fan here. The Chiefs open at home against AFC West foe San Diego.

I’m ready for it all.

Serena Williams loses in U.S. Open semis for 2nd year in a row NEW YORK (AP) — For the second year in a row, Serena Williams’ bid to make history ended with a loss in the U.S. Open semifinals.

A seventh title at Flushing Meadows, which would have been an Open-era record, will have to wait. So will a 23rd Grand Slam championship, another record. And her 3 1/2-year reign at No. 1 in the WTA rankings is over, too, one week shy of what would have been yet another mark.

Undone by a half-dozen double-faults, including on match point, and plenty of other mistakes she blamed in part on dealing with an injured left knee, Williams was upset 6-2, 7-6 (5) by big-serving Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic on Thursday.

“Karolina played great today. I think if she had played any less, then maybe I would have had a chance,” Williams said.

“So I think I wasn’t at 100 percent, but I also think she played well.”

The 10th-seeded Pliskova, who will play No. 2 Angelique Kerber for the title, began her oncourt interview by blurting out that she couldn’t believe she’d eliminated Williams to earn a spot in her first major final.

Then Pliskova changed course, saying: “I mean, I do believe it. I always knew I have a chance to beat anyone if I’m playing my game.”

No. 16 Iowa, ISU to battle for Cy-Hawk trophy ures to have a tough time with Iowa’s front seven, expect the Cyclones to try to get Warren going in the first half.

The Associated Press Iowa State (0-1) at No. 16 Iowa (1-0), 6:42 p.m. (BTN) Line: Iowa by 15 Series Record: Iowa leads 41-22.

What’s at stake Bragging rights for an entire year in a state without a major pro sports team but a ton of passion for the Hawkeyes and Cyclones. Iowa will look to beat Iowa State for the sixth time in its last nine meetings, while first-year Cyclones coach Matt Campbell could notch his first signature win.

Key Matchup Iowa cornerback Desmond King vs. Iowa State wide receiver Allen Lazard: Miami

(Ohio) barely threw King’s way last week in a 45-21 loss.

But the Cyclones have a special talent in Lazard, so look for the Hawkeyes to break with convention and get the reigning Thorpe Award winner matched up with Lazard as often as they can. Lazard had 129 yards receiving and a touchdown in last week’s 25-20 loss to Northern Iowa.

Players to Watch

Iowa: Linebacker Josey Jewell. He was ejected for targeting last week, so it’ll be interesting to see if Jewell is a bit cautious in his return. That’s unlikely though, given that Jewell’s fiery play drives Iowa’s defense.

Iowa State: Running back Mike Warren. He led all freshmen nationally in rushing yards in 2015, but Warren had only 30 last week. Even though the Cyclones line fig-

Three straight: CMB girls win again

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEFFERSON — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter cross country teams have competed in three meets this season, and the Raider girls claimed their third championship Thursday.

The Class 2A No. 9 Raiders traveled to Spring Lake State Park and best second place by 59 points. The CMB boys finished ninth in the 14-team field.

A total of seven CMB runners claimed medals on the night with 171 points.

The five scoring runners in the girls race all medaled.

Junior Heather Jessen finished fifth, sophomore Brenna Thomson was sixth, junior Ashlee Johnson placed 10th and sophomore Shasta Moody was 13th. The final medalist was sophomore Lauren Ratliff, who placed 17th.

It was the third meet of the season where the Raider girls had a different No. 1 runner.

Johnson was the best at Iowa State, Thomson was the top finisher at Central and Jessen, a state qualifier in 2016, returned to the top of the lineup Thursday.

“Our team showed great effort tonight,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “Three of our top four runners have missed some time this week at school because of illnesses, so we were not running at full strength.

“To have eight girls in the top 30 out of 122 runners was a great sign to see.”

overall, while Berg finished in 13th. Junior Carter Fricke just missed a medal, finishing 24th overall.

“Our top three boys ran extremely well,” Meinerts said.

“I’m very pleased to see those guys keep dropping their times. There were great runners in this race tonight, so to see those three in the top 25 is a great sign.

“The gap between our No. 3 and No. 4 was just too much tonight. Our other guys have got to realize that they can go faster, they just need to get out that comfort zone and really

start pushing the pace.”

Jessen’s fifth-place finish was clocked at 21 minutes, 17 seconds.

Brenna Thomson was 11 seconds behind in sixth, while Johnson’s time was 21:45.

Moody ran a 22:56 and Ratliff ’s time was clocked at 23:08.

Freshman Holly Jessen was 22nd overall in 23:40, senior Winter Brown was 23rd in 23:42 and senior Anna Jones was 28th in 24:04.

“These girls really just keep running well together and really pick up the slack when one of them isn’t running their

best,” Meinerts said. “Our goal now is to get everybody back healthy and get ready to run at Lynnville-Sully next week, where we get to run against 1A No. 2 Pekin.”

CMB won the meet with 40 points. Panorama was second with 99 points and West Marshall (100), Adair-Casey/ Guthrie Center (102) and Roland-Story (156) rounded out the top five.

Class 1A No. 13 Colo-NESCO was sixth with 157 points.

The Raiders boys had two runners top 18 minutes for the first time this season.

Ian Thomson finished ninth in 17:39, while Berg was 13th in 17:50. Fricke’s 24th-place finish was clocked at 18:38.

Junior Noah Rhoades was the Raiders’ fourth finisher in 66th as he crossed in 21:01.

Sophomore Josh Bruntz was the final counting runner in 67th with a time of 21:06.

Freshman Carter Davis (79th) and senior Brady Ross (102nd) rounded out the varsity lineup.

“We were without our No. 4 runner tonight,” Meinerts said.

“Max Van Maanen has some lower leg injuries. Hopefully he’s able to heal up quick and back to our No. 4 spot.”

South Hamilton, which is ranked fourth in 2A, won the meet with 59 points, AC/GC scored 70 points in second and Ogden was third with 123.

Panorama (143) and Des Moines Christian (151) rounded out the top five. Roland-Story (156) also bested CMB by 15 points.

Ellens wins title at Johnston; Mustang girls take third

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JOHNSTON — Prairie City-Monroe senior Chris Ellens just keeps getting better for the Mustang cross country team.

Thursday, Ellens added an individual win to his early-season success. He claimed the overall win in the Class A Division at the Johnston Invitational at Camp Dodge. Ellens finished in 17 minutes, 32 seconds and bested the next best runner by 14 seconds.

Lee and Pressgrove each had two digs.

“We aren’t a team which can afford to go through the

motions,” Newton head coach Ashley Carter said. “Once we lost to North Polk, the girls finally got fired up. Volleyball is

such a mental game. You have to be mentally tough and prepared to lay it all on the court.

Our start was slow, but thankfully, we got our momentum back and got the win against South Tama.”

The Trojans were up 8-3 when Pressgrove unloaded for a kill to get the serve to Newton. Allen served three points for the Cardinals then Newton moved into the lead on a two-point run by Pressgrove.

The first set was tied four times down the stretch. It was 17-all when junior Carter Lee came in to serve. Carter rang up an ace on her first serve then Pressgrove had two straight kills. Newton recorded a 21-17 first-set win.

“Our energy levels at first weren’t as high as we wanted them to be,” Rausch said.

“Once we a became more energized, we started picking up the tempo.”

In the second set with South Tama, Newton was locked in a 3-3 tie. The Cardinals moved to front on a three-point serving stint by Allen and never trailed again.

“Morgan and Rachel (Berkland) did really good in true middle getting the blocks up.

They closed the blocks more tonight, which helped our defensive play,” Rausch said.

Leading the net attack,

NCMP’s No. 1 medley relay team of Lakin Jenkins, Blommers, Emily Miller and Sarah Prendergast clocked in under the 2-minute mark — 1:59.02 — which ranks it 19th in the state.

“We had so many great swims and girls who tried new events during this meet,” Patterson said. “Miranda Ervin swam the 200 free for the first time and Coach (Jenny) Jensen gave Miranda a goal time of 3:45, and she crushed it with a 3:25.32.”

Abbie Hill had a strong time in her first 200 freestyle swim, placing third in the junior varsity event at 2:31.45.

Molly Coy swam the 200 individual medley for the first time. Patterson said Coy left everything in the pool but told her coach she can drop time.

Blommers posted a season’s best time of 2:26.21 for third in the 200 individual medley race. In the 100 but-

terfly, NCMP had junior Jessica Zahn, sophomore Liv Barnes and freshman Jordon Pritchard swimming the event for the first time.

Patterson said Alex Inskeep placed fourth in the 100 freestyle with a personal-best time of 1:01.85. Inskeep also had a personal-best split time in the 200 freestyle relay for NCMP. Zahn turned in a 1:01.97 split time in the 400 freestyle relay race for the Aquagirls.

“The 500 free was an event that rocked last night,” Patterson said. “Senior Kaitlyn Barnes dropped about 10 seconds in the event, as did freshman Emma Thomas, and Mariah Petro dropped over a minute from the time she swam last year. These girls went after it. Emma was second, Kaitlyn was third and Mariah was fourth in the junior varsity race.”

NCMP’s varsity girls also swam the 500 freestyle well, Patterson said. Prendergast

posted a fast early season time of 5:51.16 and Dawson dropped about 10 seconds from her first meet this year in a time of 6:18.91. They finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

In the varsity 100 backstroke, Jenkins and Julia Prime had season-bests’ swims and Coy had a personal-best time.

Hayley Sinclair and Courtney Ingle had strong times in the junior varsity race.

The NCMP varsity 400 freestyle relay team placed second while the junior varsity teams went second and third. The junior varsity 200 freestyle relay team of Hill, Morgan Altman, Sarah Urias and Dawson won it race.

“We continue to have great senior leadership. Kaitlyn Barnes, Willa Colville, Emily Miller, Sarah Prendergast, Hailey Sinclair and Erin Van Sickle are doing a tremendous job with our team,” Patterson said.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B control with a five-point serving run on their way to a 2118 set win.

Newton and North Polk were back-and-forth in the second set. Junior Audrey Lucas served up three points — the third on an ace — to move the Cardinals into a 10-6 lead.

Newton maintained its lead to a 15-12 count.

North Polk’s Courtney Bonewitz went on a six-point serving run to put the Comets in front for good. The Comets held off the Cardinals for four more rotations to claim the match victory.

Lucas and Lee each had four service points while senior Megan Pressgrove and Rausch served up three points apiece.

Shipley and senior Morgan Allen had one point each.

At the net, Pressgrove pounded down six kills and Shipley had five kills. Allen had two assisted blocks while Lucas and Pressgrove each had one block assist. Pressgrove and Shipley were each credited with six set assists.

Rausch, Newton’s libero, had 17 digs and Lucas came up with four digs. Shipley numbered three digs while

Aquagirls Continued from Page 1B our girls did that — we had personal best splits all the way to the end of the meet.”

Patterson said Blommers went out with the Ankeny girls in the bre a s t s t roke race then pulled away to win the event by more than Blommers three seconds.

She said she thinks Blommers can push the first 50 yards a bit more.

Freshman Allison Paulius posted a personal-best time of 1:20.40 for fourth place in the 100 breaststroke event.

Courtney Dawson, another freshman, dropped time in both her 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle races.

Broncos win Super Bowl rematch over Panthers DENVER (AP) — Denver’s dominant defense came up big against Cam Newton again and the Broncos escaped with a 21-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers Thursday night when Graham Gano missed a 50-yard field goal with 4 seconds remaining.

Newton was sacked three times and clobbered all night long but appeared to have done just enough to get a measure of revenge for that bludgeoning seven months earlier in Super Bowl 50, when Von Miller stripped the ball and the Lombardi Trophy from his grasp.

Newton put the Panthers on the cusp of victory with a 16-yard pass to Kelvin Benjamin at the Denver 37 in the closing seconds, and another short pass to Ted Ginn Jr. put Gano well within his range.

“I was going to drill it, no double in my mind,” said Gano, who was wide left. “But this happens. It’s not going to define my season.”

With the stadium rocking, Trevor Siemian trotted out to take a knee in victory formation after his successful first NFL start. Peyton Manning’s successor finished 18 of 26 for 178 yards, one TD and two interceptions.

“We’ve got a heck of a team,

a resilient team, I think you saw that tonight,” said Siemian, who finished 18 of 26 for 178 yards with one TD, two interceptions and two sacks.

Newton, the NFL’s reigning MVP, was 18 of 33 for 194 yards, with one TD and one interception.Just as he did over and over in the Super Bowl, Miller made a big play late, sweeping past right tackle Mike Remmers and sacking Newton.

That set up fourth-and-21 from the Carolina 29 at the 2-minute warning and Newton threw incomplete but got a reprieve: Cornerback Chris Harris Jr., whose interception led to Denver’s go-ahead score minutes earlier, was called for illegal use of the hands, giving Carolina a first down.

Some of the hits on Newton pushed the rules.

Safety Darian Stewart’s helmet-to-helmet hit in the final minute was negated because Newton, who was slow getting up, was called for intentional grounding on the play. Newton also took an inadvertent hit to the head from Miller on a sack by DeMarcus Ware. The QB went to the sideline and put a towel over his head as trainers checked him out.

The Panthers took a 17-7 led into the fourth quarter of

the first Super Bowl rematch to start a season since 1970 but Siemian hit running back C.J. Anderson for a 25-yard touchdown on the next snap.

Newton’s next pass was intercepted by Harris at the Carolina 23. Ten plays later, Anderson bulled his way in from the 1 to give Denver its first lead at 21-14 with 9:26 remaining.

After Gano’s 36-yard field goal brought the Panthers to 21-20, Carolina forced a three-and-out and got the ball back at its 40 with 3:06 remaining.

Take A Knee: Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, a college teammate of Colin Kaepernick, took to a knee during the playing of the national anthem. Kaepernick refused to stand for the anthem during San Francisco’s preseason games, explaining it was to protest racial oppression and police brutality in the United States. It opened a wide debate and put the microscope on a pregame tradition that has, for decades, been routine.

Fullback Fun: Rookie Andy Janovich was brought in to bore holes for Anderson, but he surprised the Panthers with a 28-yard TD run after Denver’s first two drives ended in turnovers..

Pressgrove delivered 11 kills followed by six kills from Shipley against South Tama. Shipley had nine set assists and Pressgrove put up six assists.

Shipley, Berkland and Lucy Lilienthal each had one solo block and one block assist.

From the serving line, Allen and Lee had six points followed by four points from Rausch.

Lucas and Pressgrove had three service points and Shipley had two points. One service ace was recorded by Lee, Rausch, Lucas and Shipley.

Shipley was credited with 12 digs and Rausch and eight digs. Allen, Lee and Pressgrove each had four digs and Lucas had two digs.

“We need to work on our passing a little bit more — move our feet to get into position,” Shipley said. “We need everyone to contribute as a team.”

Newton, 3-6, heads into its first road test of the season.

The Cardinals take a 0-2 Little Hawkeye Conference mark into the 7:15 p.m. match Tuesday at Grinnell.

The Newton junior varsity and freshman teams played Thursday at home, but no scores were reported by presstime.

The Aquagirls compete at 11 a.m. in the Ames Invitational Saturday in Ames.

NCMP has the first of its two home meets Tuesday.

Oskaloosa comes for a 5:30 p.m. start time at the Newton YMCA. “We would love everyone to come our home meet. We are having a BLUE-OUT,” Patterson said. “The team is raising money for the Blue Lips Foundation — a cause dedicated to early detection and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

We had the co-founder of the foundation, Meredith Wilharbor, come speak to our team on Wednesday.”

Patterson said the girls have done a great job promoting this organization. She said the team will have some games during the break at the meet.

Astrograph

The passage of Jupiter into Libra, the sign of social justice, inspires consistent and fairminded treatment of all. And yet, because we each have a unique chemical and emotional make-up, we each inspire a unique reaction. The bottom line is, if someone is to be your good friend, you have to like who you are when you are with this person.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

9). You’ve learned not to fret over or force the action, and life unfolds beautifully before you. An inheritance will make your way easier. You’ll be challenged by a great teacher in December. You’ll give a top performance and start earning

more for your work at the start of 2017. March brings new friends and goals. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 11, 13, 3 and 40.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When the storm nears, the natural response is to take shelter and huddle in fear there until the tumult passes. Why, then, do you feel compelled to chase the dark cloud and poke at it with a stick until it tells you what it’s made of?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Part of you would do anything to make the person you love happy. The other part of you realizes that nothing good

comes of spoiling your loved ones. They’ll only take you for granted and become rotten.

Limits can be love, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Which came first, the dream or the memory? They are all swirling together now, motivating you to march forward. Just know that you do not have to avenge the wrongs of yesterday to create a new tomorrow.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Getting there is said to be half the fun, but when the vehicle is a thing of beauty, it might be well over the three-quarter mark. Whether it’s better shoes or a better car, you won’t regret the upgrade.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like a pilot taking to the air, you

will review each point in your checklist to prepare yourself for takeoff. This is something you know to do every single time. Leave nothing to memory or to chance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You spoke your heart. Your heart changed, and you spoke it again. Each time, you get braver and clearer. Communication is something you can’t get worse at. Communicate often and you’ll communicate better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll be involved in a mixup.

You’ll discover over the course of the interaction that though there is something similar in the two things being confused, they are not the same at all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You can be considerate and appropriate and still quietly make an unpopular choice. You’re so well-liked that it will be possible to fly under the radar if that’s what you’d prefer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll teeter between personal relationships and professional interests. Like a dancer, you’ll balance beautifully as long as you keep your core very strong and your posture pulled up toward the sky.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may find yourself craving more knowledge of, access to and products from the object of your focus. You’re fast becoming a fan, driven to get your hands on more of the thing that thrills you so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The more you know, the more you want to know. This is how you tell that your interest is worthy of you! Once you start asking around, new circles open to you. You were meant for this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re getting attention.

Publicity will create a greater demand for your product. Be smart. Hold out. The lack of immediate access will drive the price up so you can ultimately sell high.
