New NCSD board members start learning ropes Padget named board vice president

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Submitted Photo Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess hopes to bring officers and citizens together to help better understand issues in the city and form a partnership to make Newton a safer, more productive community.

Chief Burdess says community partnerships are vital to NPD

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News For Rob Burdess, becoming a police officer couldn’t start soon enough. The recently named Newton Police Chief, now 37, has been working in the field since he was 19.

A Colfax native, Burdess took criminal justice classes for a year at DMACC before starting to apply for what became a lifelong career.

“College was great, but I wanted to get into this job, so I started applying for police jobs early,” Burdess said. “When I was 19, I got hired by the University of Iowa Police Department, which is pretty young; I was the youngest they had ever hired.

They took a chance on me, but it worked out.”

While in Iowa City, he attended the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy, where he was

once again one of the youngest in his class. Burdess worked for the university police for two years and said it was a great experience working in a big city with a very diverse population, but found he wanted a change from the college town environment.

“With the large amount of alcohol offenses you run into, you really get pigeon-holed into that kind of enforcement, and I really wanted to get back to more of a traditional form of policing and getting more involved in the community,” Burdess said.

It just so happened that a city only 11 miles from his hometown had a job opening, and in 1999, Burdess joined the Newton Police Department.

“It got me closer to home and to a police department that better fit me,” Burdess said.

Burdess grew up on a small farm outside of Colfax. He played football and baseball while in

school, also participating in FFA before graduating in 1996.

While growing up, Burdess and his father used hounds to hunt, and he found it to be a natural progression to use them in police work. He bought his own dog and paid for its training and while still in Iowa City started using his bloodhound for tracking.

“When I came here, I had been training a blood hound for the purpose of finding missing people and fugitive apprehension,” Burdess said. “When I started in Newton, my dog had just been certified to be a police dog. So that is some training I started, and the City of Newton adopted that program and that dog and my philosophy on things. It lasted nearly 15 years with that dog and another dog.”

There was plenty of laughter and a few serious moments at Monday night’s Newton Community School District board meeting, as two new members were sworn in.

Josh Cantu and Ann Leonard, who were elected to new fouryear terms on the board in last week’s elections, were sworn in at Monday night’s regular board meeting. They had plenty of work waiting for them — both in terms of items to vote upon, and in terms of a learning curve.

Donna Cook, who has served on the board since 2004, was re-elected last week, and she

was also sworn in. Others sworn in were board president Sheri Benson, who was re-elected by her peers, and board member Travis Padget, who was sworn in as the new vice president.

Benson joked about how much she loves having her picture taken as the various incoming and outgoing board members posed for various types of photos. Board member Bill Perrenoud, who finished fourth in last week’s election, didn’t win re-election, and Nat Clark, who didn’t seek another term, were honored for their time on the school board with plaques from Superintendent Bob Callaghan.

Clark was blunt when asked if he had any parting remarks.

“If you didn’t vote, then don’t bitch,” Clark said.

Price not seeking re-election to council Numbers remain low for city council bids

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Jason W. Brooks/Daily News New co-owner Brian McKinney looks over the in-progress floor sanding last week at Cardinal Lanes. McKinney and his wife, Lisa, purchased the Newton bowling alley during the summer, and the first day of regular hours is set to resume on Friday.

Cardinal Lanes set to reopen this week

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When news hit social media in late July regarding Brian and Lisa McKinney purchasing Cardinal Lanes, and their intent of reopening it as a bowling alley, hundreds of people clicked the “like” button.

The couple is hoping that

level of community support — along with some patience — is what they continue to experience in the months ahead as they revamp and reopen Cardinal Lanes.

The McKinneys have invested a great deal into the facility, and there is more work ahead. Cardinal Lanes could have bowling as early as Thursday; a league meet-

ing is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, with league bowling possibly to follow.

“As long as the machines are cooperating, bowling should be possible on Thursday,” Lisa McKinney said.

Regular open bowling hours will begin Friday. Lisa LANES | 7A

Newton City Council Member Jeff Price has decided against running for a second term representing the city’s first ward.

“I have really struggled with this because I love this community and want to do my part in making it great again.

We are on a Price great track and can’t wait to see what the future brings. I’m proud of what the council has accomplished over the past four years,” Price said.

“With two young kids growing

Price is the second council member to announce he will not seek another term, with at-large representative Noreen Otto also leaving her seat open.

Council Member Craig Trotter, who represents the third ward, said he intends to run again.

The first ward, third ward and an at-large seat are up for election in November along with the mayoral position. Mayor Mike Hansen has already turned in his candidacy forms and nomination, signaling his run for re-election. The Jasper County Auditor’s Office also said a second mayoral candidate, Garfield Berndt III, has turned in papers, making it the only contested race so far.

In Brief

Northey comments on Iowa crops, weather report Newton Daily News

Cristina M. Fletes/St. Louis Post-Dispatch Soybean harvest season is approaching. Jasper County made a one-year soybean yield jump in 2014, moving up to 55.2 bushels per acre from 43.2 in 2013.

Soybeans generally in good condition, but rainfall critical Jasper County made huge soybean yield jump in 2014

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Only 20 Iowa counties yielded more soybeans per acre than Jasper County in 2014. Jasper County farmers are hoping for the right amount of moisture as the 2015 harvest season approaches.

According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s Sept. 8 weather and crops report, topsoil moisture levels rated zero percent very short, six percent short, 78 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus, unchanged from the week prior.

Subsoil moisture levels rated zero percent very short, seven percent short, 78 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus.

Heavier rains in central Iowa resulted in 36 percent surplus moisture.

Seventy-six percent of the corn crop was in the dent stage or beyond, with 10 percent mature — three days ahead of last year — but nine days behind the five-year average. Corn condition rated 79 percent good to excellent.

Ninety-seven percent of soybeans were setting pods or beyond, while 33 percent of soybeans were turning color, three days ahead of 2014 but one day behind normal. Five percent of soybeans have begun dropping leaves. Soybean condition rated 76 percent good to excellent.

In 2014, Jasper County farmers planted 141,000 acres of soybeans — 1,500 acres more than 2013. All but 700 of those 2014 acres were harvested.

The 2014 Jasper County harvest produced 7,746,000 bushels of soybeans — up from 5,994,000 bushels in 2013.

That boosted the county’s bushels-per-acre yield from 43.2 to 55.2.

Jasper County has been fortunate that not many soybean-producing farms have been adversely affected by heavy rainfall.

The Iowa Soybean Association reported on its website on Sept. 9 that Bagley — located in northern Guthrie County — endured two nights of heavy rain that caused crop and property damage. Flash flooding from the rains caused record-setting local flooding in the area, resulting in damage to soybean and corn acres.

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops a n d Weather report released by the USDA NationNorthey al Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Crops continue to mature and generally are in good shape with 80 percent of corn and 75 percent of soybeans in good to excellent condition. We saw seed corn being picked and silage being chopped in several parts of the state, and some early corn and soybean harvest in some places,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda. gov/ia. The report summary follows here: Widely varying amounts of precipitation were received at the beginning of the week, but drier conditions prevailed later in the week, allowing Iowa farmers 4.9 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending

Sept. 13, according the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included seed corn harvest, chopping silage, cutting hay and isolated reports of corn for grain and soybean harvest. There were continued reports of disease pressure on corn.

Topsoil moisture levels fell slightly to 0 percent very short, 6 percent short, 81 percent adequate and 13 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 6 percent short, 81 percent adequate and 13 percent surplus.

Eighty-eight percent of the corn crop was in the dent stage or beyond, with 26 percent mature, four days ahead of last year, but one week behind the five-year average. Corn condition rated 80 percent good to excellent.

Sixty-two percent of soybeans were starting to turn color or beyond, while 18 percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, three days ahead of 2014, but two days behind normal. Soybean condition rated 75 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 83 percent complete, 10 days ahead of last year, but a week behind the average. Pasture condition rated 66 percent good to excellent. Livestock were reported as having very little stress.

Confined spaces are hazardous for farmers Newton Daily News AMES — Farmers are exposed to various types of confined-space hazards during normal working conditions.

However, it is possible to avoid being injured if proper steps are taken.

During National Farm Safety and Health Week, Sept. 20-26, agriculture engineering experts at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach suggest farmers plan ahead for hazardous situations that may occur in confined spaces.

Agricultural confined spaces can include manure pits, milk tanks, silage bunkers and grain bins. The definition of a confined space is one or more of three fundamental characteristics: it is not designed for regular occupancy by people, it has a limited entryway

and/or exit, or it contains a hazardous material or atmosphere.

During harvest time, farm safety concerns focus on confined spaces such as grain bins, transport vehicles and other grain storage structures.

Grain bins are not designed for human occupancy and they typically have limited entry and exit points. However, the real danger in a grain bin is the physical hazard for humans of being entrapped in grain.

Grain entrapments can happen quickly. To ensure an even flow of grain from the silo or wagon through a small opening at the unloading gate, workers will walk on top of the flowing grain and become trapped within seconds. “Grain is like quicksand,” said Charles Schwab, professor and

extension specialist in agricultural and biosystems engineering at Iowa State. “And the more you struggle, the deeper you are pulled downward.”

Even when the grain has stopped flowing, Schwab said it is difficult to rescue a submerged victim. “For instance, if someone is buried up to their chest in corn, even victims with great upper-body strength would still be unable to pull themselves out. Grain has a tremendous force of friction that most people don’t understand unless they’ve experienced it,” said Schwab.

According to Schwab, a common misconception is that people can climb up and out once they are sucked down into the grain. However, the strength required to lift a 165-pound person

out of shoulder-deep grain is more than most people can handle — about 625 pounds of force is needed to pull someone out of the grain. As a person sinks deeper, the grain exerts friction and pressure, requiring up to 2,000 pounds of force to raise an adult.

The key is to avoid the hazard by following standard procedures while handling, transporting and storing grain: Always lock all access doors to grain storage structures.

Never allow anyone to play or ride on grain wagons or be in the grain work area. Lock out power to all types of grain-handling equipment when entering storage bins. Notify a second person of where you are at all times when

loading or unloading grain.

“With the variable weather this summer, and leftover quality issues from last year’s har-

vest, expect inconsistent grain quality this fall,” said Gretchen Mosher, Iowa State assistant professor in agricultural and biosystems engineering.

Local & State News Burdess Continued from Page 1A in the field, nationally and internationally. He is even heading to Holland in two weeks to teach a one-week seminar.

“That was some of the training I was able to get involved in and really help not only folks in Newton, but statewide I was able to go out and search for missing persons or fugitives,” Burdess said.

During his 16 years in Newton, Burdess has been a part of many areas of the department including as a training instructor, where he felt he was able to enhance the department to keep the officers safe, a field training officer, which is vital because it is the first contact new officers have with the department, a member of the detective unit and as a DARE instructor.

He was a founding member of the SWAT team when it formed in 2005 and has since served as a commander on the team before taking over as chief.

Burdess has also stayed busy outside of the department serving as an executive board member for the Iowa State Police Association, which is the largest police lobbying association in Iowa.

Through that organization, Burdess was able to travel the country, meeting the vice president, congressmen and other high officials along the way. He completed his term on that board in 2014.

As a part of the association, Burdess became involved with the Rabiner Treatment Center, a rehabilitation center for boys located in Fort Dodge. Burdess served on the board there for eight years.

“It is a very unique facility. Boys are court-ordered to be there in most cases. It is kind of the last step before Eldora,” Burdess said. “It was great to be involved in.”

He also served as a volunteer fireman for two years, which he said was an amazing experience. In 2013, Burdess was promoted to lieutenant at the NPD. He has stayed busy during his time as an officer in Newton and with his family at home. Burdess and his wife, Nicole, are the parents of two young children. on the city’s website.

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 15, 2015 | 3A “I was never bored,” Burdess said.

Burdess has found support from his current and former colleagues after being named the new chief.

“He’s got a lot of education. He is a smart guy and I know he is going to a good job,” former Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich said. “I think the department is in good hands, and he will move them forward and move on beyond what I have done.”

Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik has worked with Burdess on the recently passed Crime-Free Multi-Housing program and said he looks forward to more collaboration in the future.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to work with him. I think he is in a big leadership position in the city and public safety and I really look forward to having that opportunity,” Wellik said.

Wellik said the relationship between the police and fire department is crucial because of dayto-day operations and partnerships.

“That relationship with the police officers is pretty important,” Wellik said.

As police chief, Burdess plans to work to grow the community presence of officers.

“During the mid2000s, the recessions really hit law enforcement agencies hard, and even after 9/11, a lot of

the grant opportunities went away for community policing programs.

When the recession hit ,our staffing got hit really hard, so a lot of the programs that we had where we were out in the community went away, unfortunately,” Burdess said. “We are starting to level off a little, and working with fewer people is now becoming the new norm.”

Nevertheless, it’s time to expand the NPD’s community programs, he said.

“With fewer staff, we also have to look to partner with other agencies in the community to do the job more effectively,” Burdess said. “We know we have narcotics issues in town. We are not unique to that — there are other cities all over Iowa that are having the same problems. But if we can partner with some of the same organizations in terms of education, prevention and treatment working on this issue ... if we all work together, that is something we may be able to work on and improve in town.”

He said the same is true of mental illness, although the community may not be as aware of the issue. Law enforcement is becoming the first responder in terms of mentally ill people and isn’t always the most prepared to handle the situations, he said.

“We have a great staff of officers and civilian staff. I would say we are one of the best trained and equipped departments in the state. My philosophy is to work as a team and to develop our people from within,” Burdess said. “We provide them with training and allow them to develop and grow as professionals and personally.

We have a family atmosphere, and I hope we continue to have that.”

Internally, with the approval from the Civil Service Commission, the department will look to hire a police officer to bring it back to full staff.

“I am looking at our structure internally to see if our command structure or department structure overall is the most efficient and effective, so there may be some changes there,” Burdess said.

He said he doesn’t see a lot of large scale changes, but will look to see if they can be more efficient with the 23 sworn officers and five civilian staff members.

“We’ve got a really good staff, that’s really the high point of our department,” Burdess said.

can do, we don’t have a lot of resources. Once again, we’re looking to partner with our local nonprofits and community groups to provide more resources and provide our officers with more training, so we can more effectively handle those people,” Burdess said.

He also anticipates the NPD offering more public programs. This summer officers hosted a public safety fest and participated in Thanks With Franks. The department also started the Coffee with a Cop program, which has been a successful way to bring community members and officers together in a casual setting.

“There are a number of issues we have in town, and we are just going to continue looking at those and seek the community’s input on that.

Some of the issues are perceived, and some are real,” Burdess said.

To help become more informed on the issues, he hopes to have forums for citizen input and have the city as a whole be involved in helping solve the issues.

Burdess also said it’s important for officers to be out of their squad cars more and having personal interaction with people.

Keeping Me on My Toes

My boys

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 15, 2015

At my young age of 30 years, I just married off my first nephew on Saturday. That being said, I was only 7 when he was born, and he will turn 23 in a couple weeks. Still it can make a person feel a little older than their age.

My brother and sisters range from 10 to 14 years older than me and my nephews are seven to 13 years younger than me. It was definitely a different way to grow up, but I loved it.

Three of my nephews moved in about a block and a half away from my house when I was about 10. I got to be around the whole time they were growing up and bring them along on any adventures I felt like undertaking.

When I was old enough, I spent a lot of my weekends

babysitting for the three. Now that I have two kids of my own, I’m not sure how I managed to wrangle all three at once.

In a tradition started by my aunts and grandma, I tried to do something special for each of them on their birthday.

Mainly funded by my parents and then my older boyfriend who had a job (thanks, now husband!) we would venture out three times a year to do something for them.

The youngest of the three, who is now a senior in high school, was born in May and his birthday always seemed to fall at the same time as the latest Pixar movie was released.

We saw “Finding Nemo” and “Cars” among many others and enjoyed pizza and games at Happy Joe’s in Pella.

The middle of the three was

born in late June which meant we got to go to a waterpark and enjoy a day in the sun. We always had a lot of fun on our days out and they might be embarrassed by the pictures I have to prove it.

The oldest, the one who just got married, was born in late September. We did a variety of things for his birthday from touring the state capital to visiting the science center and sometimes just catching a movie and a bite to eat.

I hope they enjoyed their birthdays as much as I did and all of the time we had together. I really wanted to be a positive part of their lives and show them what hard work, trying in school and following the rules could mean for them.

I’m not going to say I am a perfect role model but when

it came to the boys I really tried. If they needed help in school or advice about life in general, I tried my best and will continue trying as they begin their adult lives. Although I am still learning myself, I know the mistakes I have made and hope to help guide them in a direction that will make them successful in whatever they do.

I am immensely proud of the boys, and the men they have become. I love and care about them more than they know.

I can’t wait to watch them as they move into the next phase of their lives and whatever it brings.

Sept. 11: A date that will live in apathy

Another View

The only game in town The stock market is down. It must be some crazy thing China has done. Those Communist countries just don’t understand how capitalism works.

No, wait! The market just went up. Did China fix its capital markets already?

Not really.

More likely it’s that our Feder- By Donald Kaul al Reserve has OtherWords hinted that it’s not going to raise interest rates any time soon because a bunch of economists are afraid of deflation.

Oh lookee there. The market is down again. It seems that a Greek finance minister has threatened to resign and people are jumping out of windows all over Europe. Why? We’ll explain later.

It’s all a hustle. The stock market is as crooked as the dice game in Guys and Dolls. One of the best scenes in that classic movie and play is when “Big Julie from Chicago” decides he’s been losing enough. To turn things around, the wise guy demands a change of dice. Then he pulls his own set out of his pocket.

“But these dice don’t have no numbers on them,” Nathan Detroit says.

“That’s OK,” says Big Julie. “I got ‘em memorized.”

The stock market is like that.

Every day the pros roll a giant pair of blank dice and at the end of the day they tell us whether we’ve won or lost and why. And the commentators always know exactly why.

Sure they do. But did you ever wonder why people who are so sure of why things happened before can never tell you what’s going to happen next?

Can a hiccup in Greece or China really matter that much over here? And what’s the significance of the price of oil falling?

Or rising?

Don’t ask me. Ask Big Julie from Wall Street. He owns the dice.

Yet I stay in the stock market, even though I know the game is fixed. I’m like the gambler who keeps playing roulette at the local casino even though he knows the wheel is crooked. Asked why he says: “It’s the only game in town.”

I retired (more or less) 15 years ago. Had I converted my nest egg back then to cash and buried it in the backyard, I would have fared better than someone who invested it in certificates of deposit. The other day I looked at the interest rates my bank was paying on savings. A whopping 0.2 percent. That’s not keeping up with inflation — and we don’t have any inflation.

So I put most of my money in the stock market and pray a lot.

It’s a tricky thing for a skeptical agnostic to pull off. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. And I

don’t know why.

I certainly don’t believe anything the so-called analysts on television tell me. If they really knew what was going on, they’d keep it to themselves and make a fortune.

In any case, most of those analysts sell stocks for a living.

When they’re on the tube, they never say: “We’re in a stock bubble here. Things are going to collapse soon. You might want to think about getting out.”

Instead, when the bubble — stock, real estate, dot-com, whatever — pops, the market nosedives, and the TV geniuses say: “Wow! Where did that come from? Who knew?”

Then the banks get taken care of. And the hedge fund managers get taken care of. And the rest of us, the pilot fish of the economy, regret that we didn’t pick a better whale to seek shelter beneath.

As I’ve written before, my father — a Ukrainian immigrant — was a shrewd observer of the human scene.

When some politician would argue that raising the minimum wage was bad for the economy but cutting taxes for the rich was good, when the stock market went up and down for no apparent reason, he’d nod his head and say: “They’re all in it together, kid.

Remember that.”

This column was released on Sept. 11, a date that will live in apathy.

There’s been a lot of discussion of a $15 an hour minim u m wage, a discussion t h a t has inc l u d e d By Marc Dion street demonstrations, some legislation and a great amount of nastiness.

What you hear most often in the most recent phase of this drippingwith-hate discussion is that McDonald’s will respond to such an attack by using robots to make and deliver food.

Oh, the joy with which this possibility is received by the conservative Imams of Envy who encourage American workers to fight each other for loose change.

“Serves ‘em right,” some gloat. “Instead of getting $15 an hour, they’re all gonna lose their jobs.”

How did we get from that nation that stood together crying to the nation that loves to see people lose their jobs?

I’m a reporter for a daily newspaper. I’ve been to dozens of 9/11 events. I worked that day.

The thing about standing together in the street crying and waving the flag is that it really doesn’t require you to do anything else. After you’re done, you can dry the tears, fold the flag, go home and giggle while other people face the loss of their jobs.

The thing about getting all misty when they play “Taps,” is that, when the song is over, you can say that black rioters in Ferguson, Mo., should be “shot down like the animals they are.”

The thing about lin-

ing the sidewalks for a military funeral is that, when it’s done, you can support some waddling hillbilly of a county clerk who wants to bring segregation back to America.

And if it was your boy’s funeral, well, at least he won’t have to work for minimum wage. And if he had lived and all could find was work at McDonald’s would you say it was right? Would you crow if a robot replaced him?

We want to destroy each other more than Iran wants to destroy America. We want to wipe poor people from existence as much as Osama bin Laden wanted to kill the people in the twin towers. We talk about welfare recipients the way Hezbollah talks about Jews. We scratch and kick and back stab and kill our own with the force of a million hijacked planes.

We are the terrorists destroying America.

We hate America, because we hate everyone poorer than we are. We hate America, because we cannot give up our weak-minded, mean obsession with color and with sexuality. We hate America, because if we make $20 an hour, we are scared to death that someone making $9 will make $15, because that will mean they are three-quarters as good as we are instead of less than half as good as we are.

We hate America because we’ll listen to a bellowing blowhard like Donald Trump, a man with no platform except our own stupidity.

It’s Sept. 11 again, and we’re all driving the plane.

Distant husband gives no support to pregnant wife

DEAR ABBY: I’m a few months pregnant and married to a man I love with all my heart. We have a young son together. For the last couple of months, I have had severe morning sickness, and my husband seems to resent me for it. He complains that I “don’t do anything anymore,” but I have been so ill that some days it’s all I can do to get to work in the morning. I try to help out as much as I can, but it doesn’t seem to be enough.

Lately he has shown no interest in me or the pregnancy. He won’t go with me to doctors’ appointments, no longer asks me about them, and refuses even to discuss possible names for our new baby. I have been to the emergency room twice — once for dehydration and another time for a car accident.

He showed up only after I begged him to come because I was scared. When my mom showed up, he couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

He has been very secretive with his phone lately and has been working longer and later hours than usual.

I don’t know what to do. I’m scared that he doesn’t want me anymore. Am I being a hormonal, paranoid wreck, or is something bad going on here? — EMOTIONAL MESS IN OHIO DEAR EMOTIONAL MESS: You need to confront your husband with that question. His behavior is the opposite of supportive. Whether it is because he is immature or because he is seeing someone else is anybody’s guess. But a change of behavior this drastic on so many levels is certainly cause for concern — and pretending you don’t notice won’t fix whatever is going on.

DEAR ABBY: My wife has children and two grandchildren from a previous marriage. Her granddaughter, “Jasmine,” is 19. We were never close to her or her mother, but we tried to heal old wounds a few years ago.

Once Jasmine turned 17 she started

getting tattoos. She now has them all over her body — thighs, chest, stomach. She has a full sleeve on one arm and a half-sleeve on the other. She has piercings in her ear lobes and has pierced her nipples.

At this point, I don’t want her in my house and neither does my wife. I don’t want to be seen with her in public, and because her mother allowed her to do this, I would rather cut all ties with them. My wife agrees. I don’t see us changing our minds. Your opinion, Abby? — GROUCHY TEXAN DEAR TEXAN: I am glad you asked, because it appears you and your wife have forgotten that underneath those tattoos and piercings is a GRANDCHILD. I understand her body “art” may be off-putting, but I’m disappointed that nowhere in your letter did you express what kind of person Jasmine is.

I’m sure that like most people, she has more to offer than what’s on the surface. She may be a sensitive, loving, caring, talented and intelligent individual who would love a relationship with you and her grandmother, and be deeply hurt by the sentiments you have expressed. That said, unless you can look deeper and get to know and love Jasmine for the person she is, it would be better for her to avoid such shallow individuals as the two of you.

PLEASANT HILL — The Environmental Protection Agency says former owners of a site once used to handle and store chemicals have agreed to reduce chemical contamination and control leakage of hazardous materials into groundwater. The property known as the former Townsend Industries Facility includes about 12 acres and a 45,000-square-foot building. It is located in Pleasant Hill.

The EPA says a variety of hazardous waste compounds have been detected.

BURLINGTON — Officials say 27,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater has discharged into the Mississippi River following a power outage in Burlington. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the brief outage Saturday night caused critical water pumps to stop working. Partially treated wastewater overflowed from processing tanks at the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Officials say 27,000 gallons discharged into the Mississippi River before the pumps resumed working.

STUART — A 36-year-old Des Moines man has been charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting an acquaintance.

Stuart Police Sgt. Ryan Harding says Corey Drake held the woman at a motel in Stuart overnight Saturday. She talked to police on Sunday, and Drake was arrested at his home. Adair County Jail records say Drake remained in custody Tuesday.

News about the allegation stunned some residents in the city of about 1,600.

Caretaker accused of slapping 20-year-old patient DES MOINES — A caretaker whose actions were captured on an in-home video and audio feed has been accused of physically abusing a 20-year-old patient in a Des Moines home. Benjamin Songol, 30, was arrested Sunday night on a charge of wanton neglect of a dependent adult. A police report says the patient is nonverbal, has the mental capacity of a 2-year-old and requires 24-hour care.

Lanes Continued from Page 1A McKinney said hours will tentatively be noon to midnight Friday and Saturday and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Check the Cardinal Lanes Facebook page for schedule changes and registration information.

A Friday night league is set to begin its season this week. The Sunday night mixed league will begin play Oct. 4.

The first delivery from its food supplier is also scheduled for Friday. Lisa McKinney said the Department of Inspections and Appeals cleared the bowling alley Monday to begin serving food.

The couple initially hoped to have the 45-year-old building renovated and ready to open by around Labor Day, but there were many, backbreaking and time-consuming tasks to complete — not to mention coordination with a number of different contractors.

“This is why we wanted to buy it — to reopen it as a bowling alley,” Brian McKinney said.

“I grew up a few blocks from here, and bowled here when I was a kid for Regal stamps. It’s a big part of the community.”

Some of the projects

School Continued from Page 1A Perrenoud said he was disappointed the recent campaign became “an issue election,” and that he has devoted much of his life to helping Newton students develop in the best ways.

“I won’t say I cried, but there have been some hard moments,” Perrenoud said. “I knew I had a mark on my back, and I can’t say I was surprised. I feel my decisions had the best interests of the kids and their families at heart.”

Clark and Perrenoud then took seats in the audience.

Perrenoud later appeared ill, and was taken to Skiff Medical Center by school administrators to be examined.

Cook, who is a registered nurse, stopped by Skiff later, and said Perrenoud’s wife was with him and that he “looked much better.”

The main order of business taken up by the new board Monday was

that have already been completed include replacing the pinsetter machines, repainting, removing the main floor of the concourse and replacing it with a gray epoxy surface, and redoing the restrooms and the smaller “birthday party” rooms.

Brian McKinney said repainting the interior of the 20,000 squarefoot building was quite a chore.

“It seemed like we were painting forever,” he said, laughing.

The bathrooms have been made handicap-accessible, with a larger, handhold-supplied stall now in each one. Four handicapped parking spaces will be included to the west of the front doors, away from the east side where the higher curb is located.

The replacement of the pinsetter machines was performed last week by a traveling crew from a Wisconsin company, Mack Lane Services.

“I was surprised they could get the new ones off of the truck so fast,” Brian McKinney said.

There were only 16 new pinsetters installed.

Brian McKinney said he had been discussing a laser-tag section that would have used the remaining four-lane area, but the woman who was planning on developing that space backed out. to accept and vote on bids for the remodeling of the former Hy-Vee West building, which will be used for administration offices and for the Basics & Beyond Program and other district programs. The Rochon Corporation, which had a bid of about $2.3 million on the remodel, was narrowly the low bidder, and was voted as the winner of the contract by a 6-1 vote, with Cantu voting against it.

In other action Monday, the board: • Approved a regular board meeting schedule for the rest of the 201516 school year. The next meeting will be on Sept. 28; there will be one meeting in December, and the board will meet once in May in advance of Newton High School’s graduation date.

• Accepted a donation of about $1,900 from Cody Muhs of the Knights of Columbus, to be used for special education programs.

• Approved a person-

Other projects include resurfacing the lanes and moving pool tables into the concourse area. A bright yellow line will show patrons where the edge of the concourse steps down into the bowling area, and Brian McKinney said he will arrange for new wooden ramps to allow wheelchair accessibility.

There are a new set of pins on order as well.

The Cardinal Lanes building, located on South Fifth Avenue East, was built around 1970. It closed in May due to a foreclosure, making bowling in Newton uncertain.

The Newton High School bowling teams practice and host competitions at Cardinal Lanes, so the bowling alley is a huge center of community, on many levels. Brian McKinney said that point was driven home by a Sept.

5 visit from a local man during renovations.

“It was after the Hawkeye (football) game, and he had his Iowa shirt on,” Brian McKinney said. “He thought we had already reopened already and he had his bowling bag with him. He was ready to bowl.”

In Iowa, Obama looks to leave his imprint on 2016 race The Associated Press DES MOINES — President Barack Obama won’t be on the ballot in 2016, but on Monday he showed h e ’ s looking for ways to put his imprint on the race to Obama succeed him.

On a visit to Iowa, the state that will have the first say in winnowing the presidential field, Obama drew sharp contrasts between Democratic policies and those of Republicans seeking to reclaim the White House. He was especially blistering on immigration, an emotional issue that has roiled the GOP. “This whole anti-immigrant sentiment that’s out there in our politics

right now is contrary to who we are,” Obama said during a town hall at Des Moines’ North High School.

Officially, Obama came to Iowa to announce plans to let aspiring college students apply for federal financial aid earlier.

But from the start of his question-and-answer session, it was clear the election was on his mind.

“I know you guys are all about to be flooded with ads and calls from a bunch of folks who want this job,” Obama said in his opening remarks.

He jokingly added, “I just can’t imagine what kind of person would put themselves through something like that.”

Asked by one participant for his views on the 2016 candidates’ education policies, Obama said he wouldn’t tell anyone who to vote for — “at least not right now; later I will.”

Still, he criticized

congressional Republicans for wanting to keep broad domestic budget cuts in place and urged voters not to back candidates who blame teachers for problems in education, a slap at Republicans who have fought teachers’ unions.

A young woman volunteering for Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, tried to pull Obama into his own party’s primary fight.

She asked the president whether he thought a proposal from Clinton’s top challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, to make education at public universities free was realistic.

Without mentioning Sanders, Obama plugged his own proposal for free tuition at two-year community colleges. If that can be accomplished, Obama said, “then I think we can start building from there.”

This & That

Emotional week ends in victory for Hawkeyes

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s girls cross country squad won the Saydel Invitational team title Monday after four runners finished in the top 10.

Helping the Raiders win the team title were (from left) Lauren Ratliff (368), Brenna Thomson (369), Anna Jones (364) and Shasta Moody (367).

CMB’s pack nets title, Hawks finish fifth

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Heather Jessen performs better when she has a few teammates to run with.

CMB’s pack was impressive at the Saydel Invitational

on Monday and four top-10 finishes pushed the Raiders to the team championship.

Jessen wound up fifth overall but her teammates weren’t very far behind. Freshman Brenna Thomson crossed in seventh, freshman Lauren Ratliff ended up eighth and freshman Shasta Moody fin-

ished in 10th as the Raiders scored 44 points overall.

“When we run as a pack, we are able to push each other to run harder and compete longer so I think that benefited us tonight,” Jessen said.

“I tried to push a little harder up the hills, and I think it worked well for me tonight.”

That was well ahead of runner-up Southeast Valley (80).

Madrid was third with 90 points, Iowa Falls-Alden/ AGWSR scored 93 in fourth and Lynnville-Sully had 115 to round out the top five.

Dance along if you feel like happiness is dancing

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Performing with the Newton High Pacesetters Friday night were, from left Jordan Banks assisted by Pacesetter Hannah Yeager, Ezekial Batchfield with help from his sister Destiny Batchfield, Thomas Russell, Pacesetter Josie Swilhart and Mollie Bird. The Unified Dance Team members did a routine to “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, which included solo dances by all the kids.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Clockwise from left, Mikalah Weter does her solo dance with help from Pacesetter Hadley Braaksma; Sam Simon brings it to the middle; Lauren Ferguson puts the finishing touch on her dance; Grace Russell has the moves with Pacesetter Olivia Bebout; Baileigh Vest gives her final flourish to her solo dance. The group performed before the varsity football game Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

The Cy-Hawk football game doesn’t need a boost in emotions. But that’s what the Iowa football team got last week when it was announced that former all-conference safety Tyler Sash had passed away.

Sash is not too far removed from roaming the By Troy Hyde secondary at Newton Daily Kinnick StaNews dium. He was Sports Writer only 27 years old, but he definitely altered an already emotional stretch last week.

Kirk Ferentz had to push back his weekly Tuesday press conference for “reasons unrelated to football.” We knew what that meant, and we didn’t blame him for not wanting to work on that day.

The connection Ferentz had with Sash was real. Sash was one of those guys that Ferentz adored during and after his time at Iowa.

He was taken from Hawkeye Nation too soon.

And after Iowa’s win, the Fox telecast panned over to Ferentz, and he had tears in his eyes. He has done that before so I am not 100 percent sure what those tears were for, but I would bet it had to do with Sash and the trying week Ferentz had.

As far as the game goes, Iowa rallied to take back the Cy-Hawk trophy thanks to a dominant effort in the second half.

Some are offended at the word dominant that many used to describe the final half, but when you allow no points and just 66 total yards, dominant is a good word to use.

Iowa didn’t take the lead until the final three minutes so it didn’t seem like it was dominant, but Iowa’s defense was on locked down after a subpar performance in the first half.

C.J. Beathard looked great.

He kept Iowa in the game with his feet in the first half and then won the game with his arm in the second half.

Iowa’s running game looked solid again and the receivers made plays when they needed to, but injuries to LeShun Daniels and Drew Ott were unfortunate.

Iowa State’s defense is much improved. I don’t think there’s much of a debate there.

The unit didn’t look as well though when Demond Tucker went down with an injury and it appears depth is an issue.

The Cyclones have a strong receiving core, but it’s hard to imagine the offense being at its very best if they can’t find a running game.

Sam Richardson made a horrible throw that got picked off by Desmond King late in the game to seal the win for Iowa. That bad pass has made him target No. 1 for criticism. The most popular guy on Iowa State’s roster right now is backup quarterback Joel Lanning.

I say give Richardson another shot.

With no running game and an Iowa pass rush that collected four sacks, it’s hard to say that it’s all his fault.

Hostetter leads Tigerhawk harriers with title

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PLEASANTVILLE — An illness to Payton Rhone prevented the Colfax-Mingo girls cross country team from being a part of the team standings Monday at Pleasantville, but coach Zach Tomas was pleased with the rest of his roster.

Junior Dakota Hostetter claimed the top individual prize, winning the gold medal in 20 minutes, 42 seconds.

Her younger sister, freshman Ilia Hostetter, also medaled in 15th as she crossed the line in 24:16.

Colleen Craig was next for the Tigerhawks in 24th with a time of 25:58, while Morgan McKinney came in 32nd in 26:44.

“Again, I am very happy with our efforts,” Tomas said. “While as a whole, this may not have been as good as our first meet we also realized that this season is a little like a roller coaster and we are going to have some good meets and some meets that may not go as well.”

Leading the way for the boys was once again Cauy Furgison, who was 24th overall with a personal-best time of 20:40.

Nic Duffy was 38th, KC Huffman finished 40th and Jake Frier placed 43rd.

Will Dunsbergen took two minutes off his first race of the season and placed 45th overall.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Canyon Kuhlmann placed seventh at the Saydel Invitational on Monday night.

Pack Continued from Page 1B “We thought we had a chance to win the meet,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “I didn’t know Southeast Valley was here, and they beat us at Greene County, but our girls were zoned in tonight.”

Lynnville-Sully’s top finisher was senior Marissa Vos, who was 13th with a time of 24 minutes, 36.58 seconds. Junior Ida Byggeth was 17th in 25:10.76 and senior Kasiah Ehresman claimed a top-25 spot with a 25th-place finish in 26:29.86.

Southeast Valley and IFA-AGWSR had the four spots, but CMB won because of its depth.

Natalie Lambert of Southeast Valley won the meet in 21:40.95.

Jessen finished her 5K in 23:08.63.

Thomson was less than 7 seconds behind in 23:15.31, and Ratliff crossed in 23:16.27.

Moody’s 10th-place finished was clocked at 23:47.15 and the final counting runner was senior

DES MOINES — The last time Canyon Kuhlmann competed on a cross country course, he was the only runner representing the Lynnville-Sully boys cross country team.

Monday, Kuhlmann had company and after he crossed the line in seventh at the Saydel Invitational, he ventured backwards to cheer on teammate Lucas Jones.

The Hawks will have a few more runners and be eligible for a team finish in a few meets, but for now, Kuhlmann and Jones will go at it as a twoman show.

Kuhlmann was up front the entire 5K at Saydel and his seventh-place time was clocked at 18 minutes, 57.81 seconds. Jones wound up 44th in 22:22.06.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter had a full team and was seventh in the team standings with 140 points.

Freshman Ian Thomson paced the Raiders in 17th and sophomore Carter Fricke was two spots back in 19th.

Thomson crossed the line in 19:38.42, and Fricke hit the line in 19:53.05.

“The hills were really tough.

This is the toughest course we’ve had this year. The hills wore me out,” Thomson said.

The rest of the counting finishes included sophomore Max Van Maanen in 23rd, Josh Bruntz in 32nd and Curtis Jones in 66th. Brady Ross was 71st and Addison Swaab finished 73rd as the final two varsity runners.

“Our top four guys ran well

Chasity Moody, who was 14th in 24:44.14.

Anna Jones finished 26th for CMB, while Stephanie Twohey was 35th and Courtney Clapper finished 37th.

After Ehresman, Haley James was 29th for Lynnville-Sully. She crossed in 26:49.20 and Kristine Jaennette was 31st in 27:02.99 and was the final counting runner.

The course was a bit unusual as half of it took place through several hills in cross country land and the rest of it was near Saydel High School.

The runners jogged behind the outfield fence of the baseball field a few times, zig zagged between the baseball field and track and finished on the track going the opposite way around it. The race even starts with a jog across the football field.

CMB competes on Lynnville-Sully’s turf at 4:30 p.m.

CMB sweeps Madrid in volleyball

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MADRID — Four players had at least four kills, Kathleen Baldwin finished with 21 assists and Toni Spencer collected 14 digs as the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter volleyball team swept Madrid on Monday night.

The Raiders got seven kills and seven digs from Bridget Hurley and it helped push the visitors to a 25-12, 25-19, 25-16 win over the Tigers.

“We played well and dominated pretty much the entire game,” CMB coach Scott Ranck said. “We are looking at each match as a stepping stone to the next, learning and working our way up to a new level of play.”

Payge Jurgens and Brianda Bane each had six kills and Bekah Pearson finished with four.

Pearson also had seven digs, while Baldwin had six digs and Bane recorded two blocks.

CMB served up nine aces, led by three each from Spencer and Jordynn Wesselink.

CMB started the opening set with a 7-0 lead and never looked back as Spencer served 13 of the team’s 25 points.

The second game was the most competitive and CMB didn’t pull away until Madrid closed the gap to 13-10.

The final frame was tied at 12-all, but a timeout by Ranck allowed the Raiders to regroup, and CMB closed the set on a 13-4 run.

The Raiders (6-2) travel to Class 3A No. 1 Nevada at 7 p.m.

Thursday.

tonight,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “I am proud of the strides they have made this season. Those guys are really young, and they are in there competing against upperclassmen.

“Now we need our No. 5-7 guys to continue getting in shape and starting to really close the gap.”

South Hamilton won the team title with 52 points, edging Madrid/Woodward-Granger by two points.

Southeast Valley was third with 89, Saydel was fourth with 98 and Iowa Falls-Alden/ AGWSR rounded out the top five with 127 points.

David Parker of Saydel won his home meet in 17:48.49, while Madrid’s Josh Henriksen and Carson Polich were second and third, respectively.

South Hamilton’s top finisher was Gaige Pickering in sixth and the Hawks also had two more in the top 10 and their top five were in the first 16 positions.

The course was a bit unusual as half of it took place through several hills in cross country land and the rest of it was near Saydel High School.

The runners jogged behind the outfield fence of the baseball field a few times, zig zagged between the baseball field and track and finished on the track going the opposite way around it. The race started with a jog across Saydel’s turf football field, too.

“I was really shocked we ran across a football field to start the race,” Kuhlmann said. “I thought that’s why we went out for cross country, so we didn’t have to go on a football field.”

Djokovic, Pennetta win US Open tennis titles NEW YORK (AP) — After winning a point in the U.S. Open final, and bent on proving a point, Novak Djokovic leaped and roared and threw an uppercut, then glared at some of the thousands of spectators pulling for Roger Federer.

Following another point in that game, Djokovic nodded as he smiled toward the stands. And moments later, Djokovic shook his right arm, bloodied by an early fall, and screamed, “Yes! Yes!” to celebrate a missed forehand by Federer.

Djokovic appeared to be all alone out there in Arthur Ashe Stadium, trying to solve Federer while also dealing with a crowd loudly supporting the 17-time major champion. In the end, Djokovic handled everything in a thrill-a-minute final on a frenetic night, winning 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 to earn his second U.S. Open

title, third major championship of the year and 10th Grand Slam trophy in all.

After winning her first Grand Slam title at age 33, while seeded 26th, by beating the woman who beat Serena Williams, Flavia Pennetta provided this U.S. Open full of surprises with one last twist.

After meeting her opponent, Roberta Vinci, at the net for a long hug after — both from the southern heel of Italy’s boot, they were childhood friends, then doubles partners and roommates as teens — Pennetta let Vinci in on a little secret that would soon be shared with the world.

Pennetta — who beat Vinci 7-6 (4), 6-2 — decided about a month ago she would be retiring after this season, and this would be her last appearance at Flushing Meadows.

Talk about going out on top.

San Francisco, Atlanta win Monday Night Football doubleheader SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Carlos Hyde wanted to outplay the better-known No. 28 on the field, Adrian Peterson.

He did that and more, and Jim Tomsula’s San Francisco 49ers produced a victory in his debut as head coach minus the interim status he had for the final game of 2010.

Hyde carried the offense with 168 yards on the ground and touchdown runs of 17 and 10 yards in his first career start, spinning away from a defender and diving into the end zone untouched on a rare nice play in a first half full of ugly ones to lead the Niners past the Minnesota Vikings 20-3 on Monday night.

Peterson ran 10 times for 31 yards playing his first game in more than a year following paid leave and then a suspension last year in the fallout from a child-abuse case against him in Texas.

Hyde had him on the mind.

“That was also in the back of my head, to outdo a guy who’s been leading the NFL in rushing. That’s tremendous to outdo a guy like that, Adrian Peterson, a great running

back,” Hyde said. “I used to watch his highlights. To be able to outrush him, that’s great.”

The new starter in place of departed franchise rushing leader Frank Gore, Hyde’s yards were the most by a 49ers running back since Gore’s 207 in Week 2 of 2009 against Seattle.

Colin Kaepernick threw for 165 yards and second-year back Hyde ran 26 times to easily best his top rookie performance of 55 yards in his final game last year.

Peterson, playing for the first time since last season’s opener at St. Louis, had just four carries in the first half then doubled that total on the initial series after halftime.

Falsons 26, Eagles 24 ATLANTA (AP) — Jordan Matthews fell to his knees and clutched his helmet, the ball having slipped through his hands to snuff out Philadelphia’s final chance.

This time, the Eagles couldn’t come all the way back from a big hole in the season opener.

Rallying from a 17-point halftime deficit, Philadelphia grabbed the lead

for the first time midway through the fourth quarter. But the Atlanta Falcons bounced back for a 26-24 victory Monday night, holding on when the Eagles squandered a couple of opportunities in the closing minutes.

Cody Parkey missed a 44-yard field goal with 2 1/2 minutes remaining.

The Eagles got one more chance, but Sam Bradford’s pass over the middle to Matthews slipped through the receiver’s hands and was intercepted by Ricardo Allen, sealing Atlanta’s victory in the coaching debut for Dan Quinn.

The Eagles rallied behind Bradford, taking the lead for the first time at 24-23 on Ryan Mathews’ 1-yard run with 8:37 remaining.

Atlanta then drove into position for Matt Bryant’s fourth field goal of the game, a 47-yarder with 6:27 to go that turned out to be the winner.

Atlanta’s Matt Ryan shook off a pair of interceptions, including one on the first possession of the second half that turned the momentum in Philadelphia’s favor. He was 23 of 34 for 298 yards.

The Eagles clamped down on Jones

Kenseth gives JGR one more win before NASCAR’s playoffs been RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — There was a stretch of Saturday night’s race when all four of Joe Gibbs’ cars were leading the pack around Richmond International Raceway.

The team owner could barely stand to watch.

“That is the most nervous that I get,” Gibbs said. “I saw them up there. I saw some beating and banging there.

I think that’s when I’m always the most nervous, when you’ve got your cars up front and having a good night.”

He should be used to it by now.

JGR continued its dominating season with an exhibition from its roster that ended with Matt Kenseth’s fourth win of the season. The win put Kenseth in a tie with JGR teammate Kyle Busch and six-time champion Jimmie Johnson for the top seeds in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

The 10-race playoff series begins Sunday at Chicagoland.

Kenseth has won three of the last six races, and JGR has won eight of the last 11.

The 16-driver Chase field was set in the regular-season finale, where only four spots were really up for grabs. Jamie McMurray clinched his berth as soon as he took the green flag, but Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer all had to protect their positions.

Gordon had to finish 17th or better to guarantee his slot, and he finished a solid seventh.

Bowyer was in a little bit more of a precarious position as he came to Richmond ranked 16th in the field and unable to afford any mistakes Saturday night. He never doubted he was up for the challenge at one of his favorite tracks, and he finished 10th to give Toyota five cars in the Chase field.

It wasn’t supposed to be difficult for Newman or Menard, but the Richard Childress Racing drivers struggled the entire race. They both ended three laps down from the leaders, with Newman 20th and Menard 26th.

Aric Almirola briefly tried to shake up the playoff picture

by charging his way to the front to race with the leaders. He made it to fourth, but had nothing for the JGR cars.

Had Almirola won, he’d have earned an automatic berth into the Chase and bumped another driver.

Instead, he’ll watch the championship race go on without him after he made it last season with a surprise victory at Daytona.

It’s the first playoff berths for McMurray and Menard, and last for Gordon, who is retiring at the end of the season.

“It’s nice to be in the Chase and take that relief and take that breath and now go reset and see what we can do over the next 10,” Gordon said.

It does indeed reset now as the Chase gives the entire field an equal shot to race for the championship. Divided into three rounds before the Nov. 22 finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, a win automatically advances the driver into the next round.

Four drivers will be knocked out after every third race.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your cosmic gift of the day will be an uncanny ability to identify people’s strongest ideas while pinpointing their weakest notions without calling so much attention to the matter that it causes embarrassment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The No. 1 rule of crowd control, known by magicians and politicians alike, is: Control their focus. The crowd you’ll be dealing with may be fairly small today, but the rule will apply to your situation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Whether a person does the wrong thing, fails to do the right thing or does the right thing wrong, the result is the same: not good for anyone. Prevent mistakes with your vigilance, especially in regard to those you manage.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There are times when you have to slog through something miserable because it’s the right thing to do, there’s no alternative or for some other reason. Not now. If it’s making you miserable, quitting could be a winning move.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Powdered creamer won’t dissolve in lukewarm coffee.

Some people are like that, too -- they won’t mix and blend into their environment unless it’s heated. You’ll make it exciting for someone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There are certain unavoidable pressures that have to do with your basic survival, identity and relationships. Your attitude: Bring it on. You’re strong, able

and ready for the challenges.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Small problems that occur independently in different parts of your life will ultimately interact with one another in stressful ways -- unless you fix them early.

Handle the small stuff ASAP, even if it seems unimportant.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s time for part two of that interesting connection you made last week. This is where the plot thickens: You learn a little more about each other and realize something intriguing that you have in common.
