Voters: Build new Berg Middle School

Courtesy of FRK Design This artist’s rendering of what a new Berg Middle School might look like can finally become a reality after about three years as a proposal. Voters gave nearly 66 percent approval to a $26.9 million general-obligation bond Tuesday that will allow the Newton Community School District to completely rebuild the 53-year-old facility.

Jasper County set to purchase land for bike trail

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Efforts continue to connect the hike and bike trail from Des Moines to Lake Red Rock with the purchase of a rail bed corridor between Prairie City and Mitchellville.

The Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved the $882,548 purchase, which is completely grant funded.

“We’ve done grant writing, we have everything set up for this,

the transfer of property from just south of Prairie City at Highway F62 all of the way into Mitchellville,” Jasper County Conservation Director Keri Van Zante.

“This will connect with the trail that we already have at F62 to Monroe.

This portion of the hike and bike trail project has been in the works for more than a year after Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation purchase the property on behalf of the county.

School bond approved with 66 percent support for $26.9M proposal

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Newton Community School District will construct its first new school building in more than 50 years after voters approved a $26.9 million general obligation bond Tuesday.

“Thank you to this community for putting kids first,” Doug Smith, a Newton teacher and treasurer for the bond committee, said. “Today and in the weeks and months leading up to this, the community made a huge statement about creating an en-

vironment that’s best for learning, and how to keep Newton as a place where teachers and students want to be.”

Nearly 2,900 voters cast ballots in the election for a bond that’s part of the district’s overall $33.6 million total project cost to rebuild Berg Middle School, which a number of ongoing building problems. State law requires 60 percent approval for capital projects that involve new bond debt, and this bond passed with nearly 66 percent approval.

Results can be found on the Jasper County Auditor’s website.

About 450 votes were cast absentee — thanks in part to a vigorous emphasis from the Preserve the Pride bond committee.

However, more than 2,400 people voted Tuesday in person at the Jasper County Community Center, with a line stretching out the door during many of the 13 hours the facility was open for voting.

The school district hopes to send out bids soon and begin construction as early as spring of 2017.

Bond passage not a cheap endeavor About $6,500 raised by committee; $40K spent by district

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton’s Preserve The Pride political action committee, which helped the district get

more than the 60 percent passage in Tuesday’s $26.9 million bond to rebuild the Berg Complex, raised about $6,500 to make it happen.

Meanwhile, the Newton Community School District’s Board of Education unanimously voted to hire the team of Sara Opie and Jeff Huggins, two seasoned Des Moines-area public relations consultants, to aid with the bond cam-

paign. The $100-perhour charge, with a guideline of 400 total hours, cost the district about $40,000.

Board President Sheri Benson said she is very grateful to Newton voters for supporting and trusting the board and the district with the rebuilding of Berg, and she’s grateful for the help Opie and Huggins provided, even though it required a significant

investment from the district to pay for their public-relations guidance.

“It’s been nearly 20 years since we’ve put a large bond before the voters,” Benson said.

“This project was so large and so important, the board wasn’t comfortable that we had anyone with the expertise Sara and Jeff could bring. It wasn’t in our FINANCES | 3A

In Brief

St. Luke celebrates its pastor Sunday St. Luke United Methodist Church and Pastor Audrey Young will be celebrating three special anniversaries on Sunday and the community is invited to attend. The festivities begin with 10:30 a.m. Worship, followed by a potluck meal and a short program.

The event is to celebrate St. Luke’s First 10year Pastorate. Several other former pastors at

The Cellar offers another year of Friday night fun Alex Olp/Jasper County Tribune The Cellar in the basement of the First Baptist Church of Colfax is back for another season Fridays for post-game fun Colfax-Mingo football home games. The Cellar offers games, free food, non-alcoholic beverages and a safe place to hang with friends after home football games.

Next post-game event scheduled Sept. 16

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — When the Colfax-Mingo football team plays Friday home games, it means students will be filling the bleachers to cheer on their fellow classmates. It also means The Cellar returns as an option for Tigerhawk high school students looking for a safe and social place to hang with friends after the game.

The First Baptist Church of Colfax becomes a hot spot after Friday night home games, because in the basement of the church is a community room with air hockey, pool and foosball tables, music, competition games, free food and soda. On most nights there are even competition games when kids can win prizes.

The room known as The Cellar typically attracts 70 to 90 high school students each event.

Phil Butler, pastor of the First Baptist Church, said the event has proven success, creating a trustworthy and welcoming environment for Friday night gatherings. Butler is also the youth pastor and a substitute bus driver, so he knows many of the kids who go through the C-M School District.

“Generally, the kids are well behaved and it’s an enjoyable time,” Butler said. “It’s an enjoyable time for the kids but it’s fun for the adults as well.”

Members of the church typically volunteer as chaperones when The Cellar is open and bring snacks for the kids. The church has a youth fund they use for the event, but thrives off of donations and support they receive from various businesses and members of the community.

“We appreciate the community’s support, and we appreciate the kids’ support too. The kids

are respectful of the property,” Butler said. “It’s been a very good experience. We’ve had people in community give to us and tell us they are appreciative that we have it.”

The Cellar opened about 25 years ago and starts directly following C-M home variety football games. Closing shortly before midnight, students usually leave with a full stomach, and at times, prizes. At the end of the season, Butler said, a drawing is held as kids put their names on tickets which are selected out of a bucket. The prizes are often donated by members of the church or local businesses.

The Tigerhawks play Belle Plaine this Friday at home. Other home games this season are Sept. 30 and Oct. 14. The Cellar will be open on all dates.

Public meeting on Georgia mosque canceled over safety fears COVINGTON, Ga. (AP) — Citing security concerns, Georgia officials canceled a vote scheduled for Tuesday that would have allowed plans for a new mosque to move forward.

Earlier, Newton County officials had said they planned to vote to lift a ban on building permits for places of worship. The ban was prompted by opposition to a planned mosque and cemetery on 135 acres in the county, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southeast of Atlanta.

But the meeting was called off because of concerns about crowd control and hostile social media posts, authorities said.

“This decision was not taken without careful deliberation and consideration,” the county said

in a statement that cited concerns about crowd control and social media postings “evidencing hostilities in the community.”

There was no immediate word on whether Tuesday’s meeting would be rescheduled. Newton County Commission Chairman Keith Ellis did not immediately return an email or phone messages from The Associated Press left at his commission office and at the county clerk’s office.

Governments “cannot allow extremists to bully, harass or scare them into canceling public meetings,” the Georgia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said after the meeting was called off.

“We strongly condemn the anti-Muslim extremists who have

slandered, harassed and threatened Newton County’s commissioners over the past week,” Georgia chapter Executive Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said in the statement.

“These cowardly bigots do not represent the people of Newton County, who are as warm and welcoming as other Georgians,” he added.

Unless another special meeting is scheduled, the commission’s next chance to vote on ending the moratorium for places of worship will be Sept. 20.

The county’s five-week moratorium is set to expire naturally on Sept. 21. CAIR said it expects that will allow the Muslim group to move forward with its plans for the mosque and cemetery.

Women’s Bible study begins Thursday “Entrusted” by Beth Moore Women’s Bible Study begins Thursday at Newton Church of The Way. The group will meet at two times, 9 to 11 a.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. All women are welcome to join. Register online at newtonway.org.

Coffee Break to resume Bible studies Sept. 28, 29 Coffee Break women’s Bible Study first began 35 years ago in Prairie City.

Consistently sponsored by the Prairie City Christian Reformed Church, the goal of the group has been the study of scripture. The women who gather represent a wide spectrum of faith experiences, with equally diverse personal histories, professional and family responsibilities. Church affiliation is unimportant. A desire to know more of God’s word and/ or a curiosity about the Christian faith are the primary motivation for attendance.

Groups meet at two different times. Wednesday night Sharon Natelborg hosts the study at her home, 106 North St., Prairie City. The study convenes at 7 p.m. around a large kitchen table. The evening group has been known to linger over portions of study until 8:30 p.m. However, any group member need-

ing to leave by 8 p.m. is encouraged and supported in doing so. The home study group begins Sept.

28. Coffee and sweet treats are provided.

Thursday mornings, beginning Sept. 29 the Prairie City Christian Reformed Church hosts the morning study.

Women attending this study begin gathering in the Fellowship Hall on or about 9:30 for coffee and conversation. The study begins at 9:45 a.m. and ends promptly at 10:45 a.m..

Two adults with years of grand-parenting experience are present every Thursday morning to welcome children and provide supervision in the church child care area. Infants content to be held or sleep through adult conversations are welcomed “participants” at the Bible Study tables.

Local & State News Berg Continued from Page 1A answering voter queries in the past few months about the need to rebuild Berg, said he was impressed with the wide variety of facility and financial questions he received.

“I thought voters asked some good, well-rounded questions,” Callaghan said.

ily involved in designing the building.

A failure of the bond would have meant the district would have needed to find ways to remodel the facility, possibly with a less-expensive bond. A 2014 estimate to remodel the building was a minimum of $17.6 million.

Not all of the district’s voters were on board. There were 980 “no” votes cast. However, NCSD Board of Education Vice President Travis Padget said he feels the statement made by the diversity in voter turnout speaks just as loudly as the passage of the bond.

“We had large groups across generations come out

to vote on this,” said Padget, a Newton native. “This turnout says we care, and we’re willing to move forward.”

Both of the voters the Newton Daily News polled at the Community Center on Tuesday were in favor of the bond.

“I’ve been all around inside Berg. It’s bad. It smells like mold in there to me,” Sharron Buckman said.

Judy Wittenberg said photos of Berg she saw in the Newton Daily News were powerful.

“I don’t have kids or grandkids in school right now, but if I did, I wouldn’t have them go to a school in that condition,” she said.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The line to vote Tuesday in the Newton Community School District bond election often filled the Jasper County Community Center.

Finances

NCSD board members who also served on the Preserve the Pride Committee, said most of the donations were small.

“We had a few businesses donate $500,” Cantu said. “We had 75 contributions, which makes the average donation, $86.25. This is a mix between personal and business contributions.”

The largest business contributors were FNNB, Accents in Concrete and Garden Gate Landscaping, all of whom donated $500. The highest individual contribution was $200.

There were also in-kind donations made, such as paying the entry fee for the Newton Fourth of July Parade or donated printing supplies and services.

Cantu said there were plans

However, spreading the word about the vote was primarily the job of the Preserve the Pride committee. More than 25 volunteers organized and sought out individuals and businesses hoping to see the bond pass. Financial support was sought for advertising purchases and printed materials to help promote a “yes” vote.

Also approved by the board is the purchase of an automatic transfer switch for the county generator located in the Armory Annex Building. Van Maanen Electric was approved with the low bid of $5,495 for

the work.

“As of right now we have a generator that sits out there and is hooked up to a manual transfer switch,” Building and Grounds Director Adam Sparks said. “At this point in time, when we lose power, depending on when it is, during the day we can run right out there.

Sparks said without the generator, the county will lose about everything it needs to run including phones and email.

While the generator at the armory is important, Sparks said it is a small step in a process to keep the county up and running.

“The big piece is the courthouse itself,” Sparks said. “It needs to have a main transfer switch to have the armory and courthouse up and running which will keep the county up and operable at almost every location that the county owns that needs to be up and running.”

The day the music died again M

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Sept. 14, 2016

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

any refer to Feb. 2, 1959 as “The Day the Music Died,” with the Clear Lake plane crash that took the lives of three talented musicians marking a change in the course of the popular music business. I agree this was a momentous event that both symbolized and evoked many changes in entertainment.

However, there was a second day that impacted music as we know it today on nearly the same scale, in a completely different way. That day was Sept. 10, 1991.

Last weekend’s 25th anniversary of the release of Nirvana’s first hit single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” reminds us all of why and how music has slid slowly downhill into a cesspool of auto-tuning, remixing and re-using old ideas. While a victory to most of us, and not filled

with the heavy sentiment of the 1959 Clear Lake crash, Sept. 10, 1991 is still a transformational day.

Sure, there was plenty of bad music before Nirvana’s pathetic few albums, and there likely would have been bad music without their hacking, half-witted tracks. But the band’s quick 1991 rise to fame and idolatry marks an important turn in music history, and Nirvana’s first hit and quick rise to fame symbolize many of the problems with modern entertainment.

I know there are either Nirvana lovers who have probably already stopped reading this column, either disregarding my comments completely or preparing to email me “evidence,” such as the talent of Dave Grohl (I’ve grown to like him and much of his work, after he escaped Nirvana) and the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 — its first year of eligibility.

However, I don’t like the band’s music or its sound or lyrics. Beyond that, I can’t stand what it represents — the end of well-produced, thoughtful music, the end of hair metal, and the end of, well, fun.

The serious punk edge of grunge, called its selling point by some, is quite the opposite direction of the way many 70s and 80s mainstream artists went.

But while punk, gangster rap and fun, crazy pop and hair metal co-existed before 1991, the “Nevermind” album put the death nail in the careers of some record-company executives who were probably whistling in the dark anyway, waiting to meet a sudden end.

Not all of my beloved hair metal was thoughtful. Some of it was flat-out disrespectful toward women or any sense of decency. But, as a whole, hair metal became my generation’s anthem — the youth gone wild, who weren’t going to take it — but were given something to believe in.

No one can minimize the impact of the departure of Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and J.P. “Big Bopper” Richardson.

However, the changes of 1959 and the

1960s, while huge in terms of the direction of popular music, didn’t affect the quality. In fact, the quality, in some genres, increased — until 1991.

The Seattle grunge sound was forced, kicking and screaming, into the mainstream with the popularity of Nirvana’s basic garage-band sound, against even its own will. Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam changed their sound, Soundgarden played perhaps the most profitable supporting role in history, and this allowed the recording industry to write Firehouse and Slaughter and Def Leppard and Kix completed out of radio playlists.

Sadly, 25 years later, Nirvana’s three studio albums and eight hit singles are the anchor to some sort of folk-hero status, giving credibility to one of the least-polished, most under-produced sounds since Blue Cheer or Gong Show contestants.

It’s a shame folks born too late to really appreciate music of the 1980s and earlier, on a firsthand basis, have had to grown up with such a low-effort iconic measuring stick.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Hillary’s email scandal takes down the FBI For months Americans wondered whether the FBI, led by Director James Comey, would take down the most corrupt woman in the history of American politics, Hillary Clinton.

As it turns out, Hillary Clinton took down the FBI. According to new documents from the FBI’s investigation of Clinton, the agency was fully aware that Clinton lied when she said she set up a private server in order to utilize one Blackberry device — she used 13 mobile devices and two phone numbers. The FBI knew that Clinton’s aides destroyed old Blackberrys by cracking them in half or hitting them with a hammer. The FBI knew full well that Clinton had passed classified information over her private server — she admitted that she didn’t even know how classified information worked, instead stating that she thought the “C” appearing at the top of documents probably had something to do with alphabetizing files. The FBI recognized that Clinton wiped her server after a New York Times article revealed her private sever and email use; that she brought her Blackberry into a secure State Department area; that she never turned over nearly 18,000 work-related emails; that she discussed an undercover asset on the server and put his family in danger; and that she refused to take Blackberrys from the State Department out of fear they could be discoverable under Freedom of Information Act requests.

That’s not all.

The FBI also allowed Clinton aide Cheryl Mills to act as Clinton’s lawyer during her FBI hearing, even though Mills was a material witness. In doing so, the agency granted Mills legal privilege where none existed. And the FBI didn’t bother asking Clinton whether she intended to hide information. Officials gave her the benefit of the doubt every single step of the way.

And then the FBI recommended to the Department of Justice that she not be indicted.

The fix was in.

The press seems sanguine about the possibility of Clinton in the White House. That’s bizarre given her corruption. It’s even more bizarre when you consider that she has now undermined Americans’ trust in the chief domestic intelligence agency in the country, making it a laughingstock and a political Hackey Sack. Director Comey entered this investigation wellliked and well-respected across the political aisle. He will exit having destroyed his reputation for honesty on the shoals of Clinton’s lies.

There is no excuse for Clinton escaping charges.

Not one. The FBI’s own documents prove that she took action that you would only take if you were attempting to obstruct justice, destroy evidence and lie to law enforcement. And yet the FBI, as a wing of the Obama White House, went out of its way to ensure that the Democratic presidential candidate would evade prosecution. That means it lacks basic legitimacy.

It’s not the only agency the Obama administration has exposed as a political hammer. It has corrupted the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Justice, the Environmental Protection Agency, the State Department and the Department of Health and Human Services. The list is nearly endless. No wonder so many Americans seem willing to turn to a man who promises to burn the entire structure down, Donald Trump. There’s little worth saving here, unless you’re a Democrat hoping to uphold the integrity of institutions dedicated to preserving scandal-ridden Democrats.

City over-reaching with Midtown building purchase With the $595,000 purchase of the Midtown building and three other D&D properties from Ken Johnson and the Midtown Investors Group, LLC, I think the city council is over-reaching what it should be doing as a governing body.

City government is to pass ordinances, provide services and infrastructure, not to be a real estate developer. Mr. Johnson and the Midtown Investors group must be doing cartwheels down First Street North with this deal.

If the Frantz Community Investors the city engaged for the project cannot secure financing,

UWJC helps women, children United Way of Jasper County is a great way to strengthen the community as a whole because the United Way supports more than two dozen health and human service programs annually from counseling to youth literacy programs to helping cancer patients get a ride to their appointments.

The money raised in Jasper County stays in Jasper County to help its citizens. United Way offers the ability for one donation

there must be a reason. Do they have outstanding debt? Do backers see no potential for the property? Did the city get sold a bill of goods? Why should the city deal with them anymore? They didn’t deliver. Why bail them out? If the project can’t go forward or the city loses the Main Street program, that ‘s the way it is. Next time the city has a sure fire deal they should circle back and do more research instead of being caught holding the bag. What if a buyer can’t be found?

My late father and grandfather had an insurance office in the Midtown building from 19261993, where Bloomin’ Nails is today. Many an hour has been spent in that building by the family. Even then, the paint peeled in dad’s office, plaster fell from the ceiling, the big north windows

leaked. No matter what was done with them. The building has been in slow decline for years. Dad paid for his own remodeling as did the other tenants. There is asbestos, lead paint, etc.. Instead of $10 million for the project it will probably be $10 million per floor.

It’s demanding of the city staff and council to keep expecting a steady flow of money from the taxpayers for their projects. No council member ever votes no.

The city never tries to cut costs.

It’s a never ending wish list. No doubt more bonding and even higher property taxes will be in store for we taxpayers as the kitty is probably running a little low by now.

Money is no object in Newton, and no one seems to care.

to help dozens of Jasper County nonprofits annually, because collective fundraising helps pool resources and provide a larger impact than one donation alone.

As the director of Clearview Recovery Inc., I see firsthand how United Way of Jasper County helps our clients with two different programs for the women and children.

United Way funds Access to Treatment. Access to treatment is extra help for ladies of Jasper County to obtain residential treatment when the new Managed Care Companies that take care of Medicaid will not cov-

er residential treatment or the client has Health and Wellness Medicaid.

United Way also funds Parents as Teachers which is provided by Jasper County Council for Prevention of Child Abuse.

Parents as Teachers is a parenting class provided by JCCPCA of Jasper County weekly, so the women and children can learn and use new parenting ideas for a brighter future for both mom and child. To help stop dysfunctional parenting and families from continuing the cycle.

Jasper County Health Department receives Love Our Kids Grant Jasper County Health Department received the “Love our Kid Injury Prevention Grant”. This grant will focus on giving more educational information to the residence of Jasper County on children injury prevention including suffocation, SIDS, shaken baby, car seats, drowning and burns.

According to Iowa Department of Public Health website, “Injuries are a leading cause of death in Iowa. Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death for Iowans ages 1-34, and it is the fifth leading cause of death for all Iowans. IDPH strives to address the burden of injury on the public health by disseminating information about injury deaths and hospitalizations and promoting programs directed at preventing both intentional and unintentional injuries.” In addition, “Injuries also lead to more than 17,000 hospitalizations in Iowa each year and more

than 250,000 emergency department visits.”

The Jasper County Health Improvement Plan indicated a high level of child abuse and neglect and also violent and abusive behaviors. Jasper County Health Department wants to better educate the community, especially parents with infants and child about injury prevention. The Maternal Child Health Taskforce will also continue the Welcome Bags with a resource guide for families with new babies born in Jasper County.

“We will continue to offer more preventive education to the Jasper County communities. Injuries are a major public health concern and mostly preventable. We hope to educate to try to alleviate the burden of injuries,” said Becky Pryor, administrator.

This grant is funded by IDPH, Emergency Medical Services division.

Local Republicans to host annual Trap Shoot fundraiser Saturday The Jasper Republicans have announced the date of their annual fundraiser. The third annual Jasper County Republican Trap Shoot & Tailgating Event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Jasper County Gun Club, 624 W. 28th St. S. in Newton.

Gov. Terry Branstad participated in the event in 2014, and is expected to return again this year. Other elected officials representing Jasper County have also been invited, including Rep. Greg Heartsill, who has indicated he will return to shoot for a third straight year.

“This is typically our only yearly fundraiser,” Jasper Republican Chairman Thad Nearmyer said.

“People ask me about it everywhere I go — our local party is known for this event in all corners of the state and thats pretty im-

pressive.”

Hosting an annual trap shoot was an idea first pitched in 2013, by then-chairman Marshall Critchfield.

“Nearly every county central committee in Iowa holds a picnic to raise money and grow their membership,” Critchfield said.

“We wanted to change it up — so we took a chance and it worked out.”

The event’s home is the Jasper County Gun Club, just west of Newton. The shotgun-only facility is usually only open Saturday mornings.

The cost to attend the Republican event is $10, which includes lunch. Shooters in the tournament pay an entry fee of $50 which includes 50 clay targets, lunch, and an event T-shirt. Trophies will be awarded for first, second and third

place. Honorable mention awards have also been issued in previous years.

“We try to keep the participation costs low,” Nearmyer said. “Most of the money raised comes from our generous sponsors so we really encourage our members and guests to support these local businesses.”

Last year the group raised approximately $5,000 from the event and expect that number to jump up slightly this year. The local republicans meet once a month and currently have an office open in downtown Newton at 207 First Ave. W. You can also find them on Facebook at Jasper County Iowa GOP. For information on participating, volunteering or sponsoring the event contact Ben Miller at 641-691-8115 or btmiller91@ gmail.com.

Shy woman wants some tips for starting a conversation DEAR ABBY: I’m an educated, attractive 24-year-old woman who hasn’t dated much. I’m eager to break out of my shell and start putting myself out there, but I’m afraid my shyness may make me unapproachable.

How do I strike up a pleasant conversation with a cute guy at the gym or a friendly customer at work? It looks easy in the movies, but this is real life.

I don’t want my awkwardness to hold me back.

Have you written anything about this? Can you give me some tips on how I can bring myself to be sociable? — PERPETUAL NOVICE IN MINNESOTA DEAR NOVICE: Gladly. Start today by making a point of smiling and saying hello to everyone. It’s friendly and welcoming.

At the gym, ask other members about their routine or the machines they’re using. When greeting a customer, lead off with a friendly remark or a compliment. I have met very few people who don’t like receiving one, as long as it’s sincere. (“Nice shirt,” “Nice cellphone,” etc.)

If you freeze up, keep in mind that the majority of people have the same insecurities that you do. My booklet “How to Be Popular” contains many useful tips for polishing social skills for people of all ages. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Please allow four to six weeks for delivery. A surefire way to contribute in any social situation is to be well-informed about what’s going on in the world. You do not have to be an authority on every subject.

Good conversationalists are interested in what others have to say rather than feel pressured to fill the air with the sound of their own voices. And remember: Most people can concentrate

on only one thing at a time. So forget about yourself and concentrate on the OTHER person. Ask about what he or she is interested in. If you try it, you’ll find that it works.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for two years. We have good conversations, and he would give me the world if I asked him to.

He’s kind, gentle and helps me out financially. He opens the car door, cooks and cleans. Basically, he is what every woman wants.

But ... he is lacking in the sex department. He had a groin injury as a child, and later, as an adult, he reinjured “it.” Viagra doesn’t help. He apologizes when sex lasts less than five or 10 minutes. Sometimes “it” doesn’t work for a week or two.

He says he loves me and wants to marry me. But I know I wouldn’t be completely happy if I married him. On the other hand, I’m afraid to lose such a good man. I don’t want to cheat on him, which is what he said most of his girlfriends have done in the past. What should I do? — GREAT GUY, BUT DEAR G.G.B.: What you should do is be honest with your boyfriend.

Tell him it’s time for him to consult a urologist, if he hasn’t already, because there may be medical help for this. If there is, your problem is solved. If there isn’t, then you will have to prioritize what’s really important to you in a life partner.

4 Governors send letter to EPA

School administrators investigating bullying texts

seeking ethanol changes

CARROLL — The Carroll schools superintendent says administrators are investigating bullying text messages written by students last week about a gay classmate chosen for the homecoming court. Carroll Community Schools Superintendent Rob Cordes said administrators were talking with students included in group text messages and would decide how to respond. Cordes learned of the messages after they were printed out and left on windshields of the school’s football coach’s car and other players’ vehicles.

2 Former dental office manager pleads guilty to wire fraud

CEDAR RAPIDS — A woman accused of stealing money from a Mason City dental office where she’d worked for years has pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud in the case. Federal prosecutors say 58-year-old Pamela Harris, of Mason City, was the office manager of the dental practice and had been employed there for 21 years.

Prosecutors say that from 2005 through May 2014, she stole nearly $500,000.

DES MOINES — Seven Midwest governors have sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency seeking regulation changes intended to increase sales of gasoline blended with a higher percentage of ethanol. The governors of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota sent a letter Tuesday to the EPA requesting new standards that would allow stations to sell more gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol rather than the current standard of 10 percent ethanol.

Dakota Access: Company committed to finishing project BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The head of a Texas company building the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline told employees Tuesday that it is committed to the project despite strong opposition and a federal order to voluntarily halt construction near an American Indian reservation in North Dakota.

The memo to employees, which was also released to some media outlets, is the first time in months the company has provided significant details of the four-state, 1,172-mile (1886-km) project.

It came the same day as a planned “day of action” in cities around the U.S. and in other countries, including a rally that

drew hundreds in Washington to hear Sen. Bernie Sanders and others speak. Authorities also arrested 22 people for interfering with construction on the pipeline about 70 miles (113 km) northwest of the main protest site near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota.

Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren told employee the pipeline is nearly 60 percent complete and that “concerns about the pipeline’s impact on the local water supply are unfounded.” The Standing Rock Sioux tribe and others argue the project will impact drinking water for thousands of tribal members and millions

downstream.

“I am confident that as long as the government ultimately decides the fate of the project based on science and engineering, the Dakota Access Pipeline will become operational. ... So we will continue to obey the rules and trust the process,” he wrote.

Standing Rock Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II said he and the thousands of others who have gathered at an encampment in southern North Dakota to protest won’t budge.

“People are still coming down here and are committed to stopping the project,” he said.

The tribe is challenging the Army Corps of Engineers’ deci-

Colfax-Mingo voters nominate Van Dyke to school board

By Alex Olp and Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — In a special election Tuesday, Colfax-Mingo Community School District voters chose Doug Van Dyke of rural Mingo, to fill a school board vacancy in a write-in campaign.

According to the unofficial election results released by the Jasper County Auditor’s Office Tuesday night, Van Dyke received 20 write-ins to sitting board member Jason Webster’s 17 votes. Thirteen other write-in votes were scattered.

No names were listed on the ballot for the District 1 position, but when the polls at the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Colfax and the Mingo Community Center closed at 8 p.m., Van Dyke had received the nod from voters in a race against Webster who was appointed last year to fill a seat left by the late Dr. Becky Maher.

District policy states any vacancy on the school board filled by appointment must go to the voters in the next available spacial election.

Van Dyke told the Jasper County Tribune after the polls closed Tuesday night

his decision to mount a write-in campaign was “last minute,” but it was based on a lack of interest in District 1 to serve on the school board.

“I want to try to help the school out and do what we can for the communities here, grow and see what we can become someday,” Van Dyke said.

The 47-year-old rural Mingo resident grew up in Colfax and has lived in the C-M school district for 43 years. He graduated from C-M High School and also has two children currently attending C-M schools.

Van Dyke works in maintenance for Firestone in Des Moines and ran for the school board unsuccessfully about six years ago.

Webster, who initially considered stepping down from the seat voluntarily due to time commitment concerns with his business, said he’s never met Van Dyke but wishes him success in the year ahead.

“I hope he can put in the time I wasn’t able to in the evenings and shares the same views and thought process,” Webster said.

“I hope he wants the best for the students and the district.”

sion to grant about 200 permits at water crossings for pipeline, which goes through the Dakotas and Iowa to Illinois. The tribe says the project will disturb sacred sites and impact drinking water. Energy Transfer Partners disputes those claims, saying the pipeline would include safeguards and that workers monitoring the pipeline remotely could close valves within three minutes if a breach is detected.

“We have designed the stateof-the-art Dakota Access pipeline as a safer and more efficient method of transporting crude oil than the alternatives being used today,” his memo said.

The tribe’s effort to tempo-

rarily block construction near its reservation was denied by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Friday. But minutes later, federal officials ordered a temporary halt to construction on Army Corps land around and underneath Lake Oahe — one of six reservoirs on the Missouri River. Three federal agencies also asked ETP for a “voluntary pause” in work for 20 miles (32 km) on either side of Lake Oahe.

ETP removed about 30 pieces of damaged or vandalized construction equipment from the area near the protest site Tuesday, according to Morton County Sheriff ’s Department spokesman Rob Keller.

Baxter voters pass PPEL by large margin

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune BAXTER — Baxter Community School District voters have renewed the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy for another five years, according to election results released by the Jasper County Auditor’s Office Tuesday night.

Approved was the continuation of the current 67 cent per $1,000 of property tax levy and a 2 percent surtax that was already in place.

The levy passed with 88.52 percent of Baxter voters in favor of it. A total of 108 votes were cast as polls were open from noon to 8 p.m.

Tuesday.

According to superintendent Todd Martin, the levy — which has been approved every five years since 1991 — brings in about $70,000 per year. The stream of funding is designated for construction in schools, buildings and roads, payment of debt for facilities repair and improving existing facilities, and technology equipment exceeding $500 in unit value such as musical instruments, computers and science lab accessories.

Recently, the PPEL funded the one-to-one technology system, which Baxter rolled out two years ago. The funds helped purchase equipment and prevented the district from

Local & State News Sams

Continued from Page 1A At Sams Cemetery there are 10 Civil War veterans buried along with nine veterans of World War I and World War II. Of the cemetery’s 220 occupants, 62 are children, with the first burial taking place for a 3 month old girl in 1855.

The children are the inspiration behind the handmade wind chimes that will make their debut at the ceremony.

“I started telling my story to just about everyone I could talk to here is San Diego there is a group of professional artists who steps up and said they wanted

to build wind chimes for the children that are at Sams,” Johnson said.

“The wind chimes came from a legend that if you hang a wind chime in a cemetery you can hear the voices of angels and if you stand very still you can hear the voices of your loved ones every time they ring. We thought it would be a very sweet tribute to the children.”

Each chime will be hung from a shepherd’s hook at each child’s grave. The chimes will be taken down during the winter months.

The cemetery is also celebrating recently being named a Pioneer Cemetery in the state of Iowa. Sams is the newest and largest cemetery

Blommers sets new mark; NCMP wins

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

With only two opportunities this season to go after the NCMP 100-meter breaststroke record, sophomore Lindsey Blommers blasted the old time out of the water. NCMP has two sets of team records — meters for its home meets and yards for all other meets.

The Aquagirls dominated a short-handed Oskaloosa team in their home opener Tuesday at the Newton YMCA.

NCMP won 10 of the 11 varsity events and all of the junior varsity races.

Blommers warmed up for her feature race — 100 breaststroke, late in the meet — by swimming on the winning 200-meter medley relay team, taking third in the 100 freestyle race and helping the 200 freestyle relay team win.

NCMP led 103-30 by the time the breaststroke race rolled around.

“Coach Patterson told me to really push it the first 50,

and I just swam my best. This was my first meet in a meter pool this year. I only have a few chances to get the meter record,” Blommers said.

Blommers pushed out quickly ahead of the field in the race posting a 36-second split for the first 50 meters.

She brought it home for a new team record of 1 minute 16.50 seconds. NCMP teammate Courtney Dawson was second in 1:35.61.

“Taking three seconds off the record is huge,” NCMP

head coach Sarah Patterson said. “She executed the game plan we had for her tonight.

Lindsey looked strong through the second 50 meters. We’re looking to help her set new goals to keep her motivated.”

The old 100-meter breaststroke record was 1:19.68 set by Ellen Colville in 2009.

Blommers set the NCMP 100-yard breaststroke record twice this season, breaking a 29-year-old mark (1:09.91).

Her time in the 100-yard race is 1:09.45, which has her

NHS volleyball collects LHC win over Grinnell

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Megan Pressgrove goes for a kill in a home match last week. Pressgrove delivered 20 kills in Newton’s 25-23, 25-22, 25-23 win Tuesday against host Grinnell. The win was Newton’s first Little Hawkeye Conference victory of the season.

GRINNELL — In a close volleyball match on the road, Newton High’s Cardinals found the way to win in three sets on Tuesday.

The Cardinals chalked up their second win in a row, and their first Little Hawkeye Conference victory with a 25-23, 25-22, 25-23 win over host Grinnell. Newton and Grinnell battled in all three sets, but the Cardinals got the job done.

“The girls put it all together and pulled out the win. I am proud of the way they pushed through the lows,” Newton head coach Ashley Carter.

“They are getting better at staying excited and correcting their mistakes.”

Megan Pressgrove was the go-to-hitter for Newton as the senior delivered 20 kills at the net. Senior Taylor Shipley racked up 11 kills.

Pressgrove and Shipley are the Cardinal setters also. Shipley was credited with 19 set assists while Pressgrove put up 15 set assists. Junior Audrey Lucas had three set assists.

“We have been looking for leaders on the court. Tonight, some of our seniors really stepped up and

kept our players energized and excited,” Carter said. “We have a few things to work on tomorrow before we head to our tournament on Thursday.”

Senior libero Ryanne Rausch came up with 12 digs to lead the team. Shipley had nine digs while Lucas had seven digs. Junior Carter Lee finished with six digs, and junior Lucy Lilienthal had three digs.

At the net, Pressgrove had one solo block and a block assist. With one block assist each were Morgan Allen, Lilienthal and junior Rachel Berkland.

Berkland had three kills.

Lucas served up two aces and Shipley had one service ace.

The Cardinal varsity improved to 4-6 overall and 1-2 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. It competes in Thursday’s Des Moines Christian Invitational, which begins at 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday, the Newton junior varsity lost 25-10, 25-8 to Grinnell, and Grinnell beat the Cardinal freshmen, 26-24, 21-25, 158. Newton’s freshman team opens matches at 9 a.m. at Saturday’s Des Moines East freshman tournament.

ranked seventh in the state.

“It’s an honor to have both records now,” Blommers said after the meet. “I worked really hard for this. Our whole team works hard, and I’m so happy for the support I have from my teammates and coaches who give great advice.”

Blommers said during the 100 freestyle race, she felt tight. She said she made sure she stretched well after that race.

CMB nets win over Greene County

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Brianda Bane has established herself as the Raiders’ go-to hitter at the net this season.

But if CMB’s volleyball team wants to get to another level, other hitters will have to step up when opponents put extra effort into stopping Bane.

Bane went over the 100-kill mark for the season Tuesday with a 21-kill effort, but the Raiders got plenty of help in other spots during a 3-1 win over Greene County in Heart of Iowa Conference play. CMB won the match 25-21, 19-25, 25-22, 25-17.

“Everyone knows that Brianda is our go-to person,” CMB coach Scott Ranck said.

“We’ll need some others to step up moving forward, and we got some good efforts from some other hitters tonight.”

CMB improved to 5-4 on the season, and the victory over Greene County was the first HOIC victory of the season. The Raiders are now 1-2 in conference play, while the Rams dropped to 4-10 overall and 1-3 in the HOIC. Senior Bekah Pearson had four of her eight kills in the first set to give the Raiders a boost when Bane was off the floor. CMB jumped out to a 4-1 lead and then a pair of Pearson kills late in the set allowed the Raiders to get an early advantage in the match.

“Brianda is amazing, but nobody’s perfect,” Pearson said. “We are going to have to help her out once in a while if we want to keep winning matches. I love the game and love hitting the ball so I just wanted to kill it when I was given the chance.”

After Greene County tied the match at 1-all in the sec-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Brianda Bane (11) hits the ball toward Greene County’s Kenna Marquardt during a Heart of Iowa Conference volleyball match on Tuesday night in Maxwell. Bane finished with a match-high 21 kills and four blocks, and CMB defeated the Rams in four sets.

ond set, CMB bounced back in the third set. Bane got her team off to a strong start with three straight kills to open the frame. CMB led 6-1 early and then used a 5-0 run to go up 20-15 late in the set. Bane had two kills and a block during that stretch, too.

Greene County rallied to tie it at 21 and 22-all, but CMB scored the final three points to win the set and go up 2-1 in the match.

“I want to feed the ball to whoever is hitting it well to be honest,” said CMB setter Kathleen Baldwin, who finished with 32 assists in the win.

“Brianda, Bekah and Jordynn (Wesselink) all had good hits tonight. And obviously I can’t get the ball to them without good passes from Sailor (Hinegardner) and others in the back row. So it’s a team effort for sure.”

While Pearson controlled set one and Bane made her presence felt in set three, Wesselink got the Raiders out quick in the final set. She had two kills and a block to put CMB up 6-1 and then backto-back aces by Hinegardner pushed the margin to 9-1.

The closest the Rams got the rest of the set was four points.

No. 13 Hawkeyes find potent tailback duo in Daniels, Wadley IOWA CITY (AP) — No. 13 Iowa lost one of the Big Ten’s best running backs in Jordan Canzeri to graduation.

The Hawkeyes (2-0) haven’t missed a beat so far.

Iowa’s dominance on the ground, which was crucial in its first 12-0 regular season in 2015, has only gotten stronger through two weeks of 2016.

The decision to split carries between LeShun Daniels Jr. and Akrum Wadley has been a brilliant one so far.

Daniels has racked up 195 yards and three touchdowns on just 25 carries, and Wadley has 170 yards — with a Big Ten-best 8.1 per carry — and three TDs as well.

Iowa, 10th nationally with 6.3 yards per run, likely will look to lead with its rushing attack yet again when it wraps up non-conference play Saturday against North Dakota State (2-0), which has won the last five FCS championships.

“If we can control tempo the entire game and keep their offense off the field, have long drives, fatigue their defense and get points on the board, it only helps the team as a whole because it keeps our defense fresh and allows them to get stops and allows us to get back on the field,” Daniels said.

At 6-foot and 225 pounds, Daniels is the kind of straight-

ahead power runner that has often thrived in Iowa’s prostyle offense.

The 191-pound Wadley has more speed, but problems with turnovers plagued him early in his career.

By playing them both, Iowa has been able to maximize their talents and keep them fresh.

Daniels earned the No. 1 spot last season, rushing for 123 yards in the opener. But an ankle injury kept Daniels on the back burner for much of the year, allowing Canzeri — a player plagued by bumps and bruises himself — to show his skills.

Daniels returned to post his signature effort last November, with 195 yards against Minnesota and a game-clinching 51yard TD in a 40-35 win.

“He looks faster than I’ve ever seen him,” quarterback C.J. Beathard said. “He’s done a good job running downhill and making guys miss.”

Wadley flashed potential as a freshman despite lacking size. The Hawkeyes had to use

him during a road matchup against then-unbeaten Northwestern last season because of injuries to Daniels and Canzeri.

Wadley set a school record with four touchdowns in a 204-yard effort that helped Iowa thump the Wildcats 4010.

Though Daniels is more than capable of serving as Iowa’s main ball carrier, Wadley’s play as a sophomore forced the coaching staff to find room for him in 2016.

“He’s had talent since he’s got here. But he’s grown as a football player,” Ferentz said.

Last week’s 42-3 domination of rival Iowa State encapsulated what Daniels and Wadley can give the Hawkeyes when they’re at their best.

Wadley, the better receiving threat of the two, split a linebacker and safety for a 26-yard touchdown catch that made it 14-0. He later gave Iowa a 35-3 lead on a 3-yard TD run.

Daniels capped the scoring a few minutes later, taking advantage of a big hole and a defense sick of tackling him with a straight-ahead, 43-yard touchdown run.

“When you have a guy that you can rotate like that, and we can each go in there and make plays, it makes it easy on both of us,” Daniels said of Wadley.

Homers help Cards stall Cubs for now ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brandon Moss broke out of a lengthy slump with a tiebreaking home run and Aledmys Diaz connected in his return to the starting lineup, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs 4-2 Tuesday night.

The Cardinals ensured that the runaway Cubs won’t clinch

the NL Central at Busch Stadium. Chicago’s magic number is three, and the series in St. Louis wraps up Thursday.

St. Louis remained a halfgame behind the New York Mets for the second wild-card spot.

Moss entered the game mired in a 1-for-41 skid. He

hit a two-run homer in the sixth off Jason Hammel (14-9).

Dexter Fowler led off the game with a home run against Jaime Garcia.

Alex Reyes won with 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.

Kevin Siegrist got the save.

Hammel allowed four runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Leading 16-12, CMB scored nine of the final 14 points to clinch the victory.

“We had a lot of fun tonight,” Pearson said. “We had a few campfires so communication needs to be better, and our serving still needs work. It was better tonight though.”

The serving was better. CMB came into the match with a season percentage of .843. Tuesday, the Raiders were good on a season-best 86-of-92.

Hinegardner, who led the team with 21 digs, was 25-for25 in serves, and junior Mary Schabilion was 23-for-23.

Pearson tallied 16 digs to go along with her eight kills, while freshman Amber Weltha chipped in six kills. Wesselink added four kills and 12 digs and was 14-of-16 in serves.

“I was worried about the match tonight because Greene County has been playing well against some other conference teams,” Ranck said. “They played Gilbert better than we did. We came out focused and ready to play, and that’s how we need to play every night.”

Bane, who tore her ACL just 30 sets into last season, finished with 21 kills and four blocks. She now has 101 kills in 32 sets this season. Hinegardner moves into the HOIC’s top five in digs with 122. Baldwin is now sixth in the league with 146 assists.

“Her being injured last year brought us all down. Having her back is awesome,” Baldwin said of Bane. “This is a good conference win. We came out fired up and ready to get a win.”

NCMP Continued from Page 1B “I warmed up and swam the 200 free relay. I felt a lot better,” Blommers said. “Now, overall, I just want to keep dropping time, work my way up in the rankings and work toward qualifying for the state meet.”

Oskaloosa had only nine swimmers. NCMP won the dual meet, 128-34. The Indians’ lone event win was the 100 backstroke by Claire Fiechtner in 1:17.36 with NCMP’s Lakin Jenkins in second at 1:19.16.

Jenkins won the 200 individual medley race in 2:53.58.

Emily Miller won the 100 butterfly in 1:15.52, Jacklyn Michener was the 50 freestyle winner in 32.14 and Alex Inskeep touched first in the 400 freestyle in 5:31.79.

Sarah Prendergast was a double individual winner for the Aquagirls. She led a 1-24 finish in the 200 freestyle in 2:17.10. She won the 100 freestyle in 1:05.94.

NCMP went 1-2-3 in five events, 1-2-4 in four events and 1-3-4 in one event. The Aquagirls won all three varsity relays.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lindsey Blommers, a sophomore, goes after another NCMP record in the pool and gets it Tuesday at home. Blommers broke the team 100-meter breaststroke mark by three seconds.

“It’s hard to swim against a team with nine swimmers and it is hard to be the team of nine.

I’ve coached teams which have been overwhelmed at a meet,” Patterson said. “Our girls handled it well and showed great sportsmanship.”

Patterson said the one disappointment she had as a coach was the lack of the sense of urgency among the NCMP swimmers during races. She said she wants the girls to swim with courage and strength no matter the level of

competition.

“We worked on our relay exchanges. We had girls try new events, which is fun to see,” Patterson said.

Runners Continued from Page 1B Senior Ellie Horn took 31st in 25:00 followed by junior Tessa Keeton in 32nd in 25:03. Freshman Jenna Smith and junior Liz McVey ran personal-best times of 26:33 and 27:04, respectively, to finish 50th and 54th.

“Abbie ran smart, and is starting to come on strong,” Tipton said. “Ellie and Tessa did a good job of pushing each other through the last part of the race. Jenna and Liz continue to get stronger and improve.”

Sander paced the Cardinal boys earning the seventh-place medal in 18:41.

Ottumwa senior Dalton Bowers ran the 5K race in a winning time of 18:12.3.

Clear Creek-Amana took the boys’ varsity team championship with 46 points and Oskaloosa was second with 52. Williamsburg scored 85 point for third and Ottumwa was fourth with 125 points.

Newton’s boys were in a four-team battle right in the middle of the 13-team field.

The Cardinal boys scored 175 points to place fifth, edging out Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont (177), Fairfield (178) and Knoxville (179).

“The margin of victory was so close if any of our five scoring runners were passed by a runner or two, it would have been the difference between fifth and eighth place,” Newton boys’ head coach Steve Weeks said. “The team sat down to discuss running fatigue and general burn-out after a lackluster performance

at Grinnell. The runners set goals to beat two teams which outperformed us last week, place at least fifth at a meet, and to qualify for state as a team in 4A competition.

They have now accomplished three out of the four.”

Newton’s No. 2 runner at Oskaloosa was sophomore Adam Hunter, finishing 21st in 19:30. Junior Tyler Dafflitto took 38th in 20:23 followed by junior Dylan Main in 52nd at 20:40 and freshman Luke Zaabel in 57th at 20:50.

Juniors Dalton Pauley and Chad Nolin were 74th and 79th, respectively, in 22:10 and 22:55.6.

Newton’s junior varsity boys were eighth out of nine teams. Sophomore Connor Moon led the way placing 34th in 22:55.3 and junior Ross Hull in 38th in 23:04.

Senior Spencer Elbert placed 59th in 24:01, junior Blake Robson was 71st in 24:39 and freshman Addison Dunwell was 77th in 24:53.

“The competition between Ross and Connor helped push Conner to a time which will earn him a spot on the varsity team next week,” Weeks said.

The Newton girls’ junior varsity was fourth with 90 points.

“The team ran great tonight,” Tipton said of the girls’ junior varsity. “They did an excellent job of packing up and pushing each other throughout the race. To have three runners in the top 20 is just plain exciting.”

Newton had four runners finish in the top 21 paced by freshman Andrea Brown in 15th and senior Katherine Thorpe in 16th with the same time of 27:59. Senior Jordyn

detection and awareness of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Many of the NCMP swimmers sported blue lipstick and blue nail polish for the home meet. The team held a “chuck-the-duck” contest with blue balls to raise funds during the night’s swim break.

“We wanted to do a fundraiser this season and one our teammate’s grandfather died of this. We decided to take the Blue Lips Foundation on,” Miller said. “We had a really fun meet and were able to raise money for the foundation.”

Miller is one of the senior captains for the 2016 season.

She said the unity of the team is tremendous this year.

“We’re working hard together and having a fun time.

I enjoy coming to practice every day,” Miller said.

Oskaloosa had two junior varsity swimmers. NCMP won every junior varsity race to post a 116-4 victory. The junior varsity swimmers will be idle until NCMP’s second — and final — home meet on Sept. 27.

The social-minded Aquarius moon has high hopes for humanity that will be tempered by the Virgo sun. The first step in saving the world is to take care of yourself. When you improve, the world improves.

Don’t get discouraged looking at the scope of what needs to happen. Chances are, you’re making more of a difference than you think.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

14). Something you didn’t even see as a problem has been holding you back. This year you’ll come to an awareness and then blossom in a blink.

Embracing the new way will be easy. In January you will demonstrate what years of

practice and study have given you and be chosen for a position. Capricorn and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 2, 24, 31 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Are you just making the best of the way things are turning out or are things really turning out for the best? It’s hard to say, because with your stellar attitude you continually spot opportunity and turn potential into reality.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Nothing in life is created apart from others. The extent to which you depend on your crew is pretty remarkable today, and even more remarkable

It’s the same way with people as it is with fruit: When they’re squeezed, you find out what kind of juice is inside. The pressure is on today and this will work in your favor as people find out the powerful potion of zesty vitality you’re made of.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The bad news is that you are definitely your own worst enemy.

The good news is that you have no others today. So reason with yourself. Go easier.

Call off the fight if you can.

If not, do try and win yourself over.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some things can’t be bought. What you need today can be. However, the greater the emotional connection is for those involved in making it happen, the smaller the dollar amount will be needed to fund the effort.
