Home Base Iowa incentives still materializing West Des Moines recently became 21st community approved

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Iowa community leaders look for all possible grant and incentive programs in efforts to draw in more skilled workers.

One of those programs is Home Base Iowa, which is designed to help attract v e t erans w h o h a v e recently completed their active duty and are transitioning into civilian life. Housing, employment and other types of support incentives are put together by communities around the state to earn a Home Base Iowa designation. West Des Moines was recently announced as the 21st community to earn the designation.

Jasper County Veterans Affairs Director Chris Chartier said he’s looking forward to hopefully putting together a unique package in the near future that will not only earn an HBI designation, but also set the county apart from other

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Gov. Terry Branstad along with Janco owners Joel and Deann Jansen, to his right, joined by friends and family cut the ribbon at the new Janco manufacturing facility in Sully on Monday. The 70,000-square foot facility brings the Sully and Marshalltown employees under one roof for the first time.

Janco in Sully opens new facility

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Gov. Terry Branstad was on hand for a ribbon cutting at the new Janco Industries manufacturing facility in Sully on Monday. The 70,000-square foot building at 600 W. Second Ave. brings the two divisions of the business under the same roof for the first time.

“I want to say congratulations to Joel and Deann and your family for the decision you have made, and I am proud to be here and witness this 70,000-square foot manufacturing expansion in Sully, Iowa,” Branstad said.

Joel Jansen and his wife, Deann, are owners of Janco, a company that specializes in metal fabrication. The business was originally founded by Jansen’s father, Ron, in 1993, who had also owned and operated Star Auto Company, a truck repair and equipment shop.

“Janco was started in 1993 by my father. We started out recovering husking rolls for the seed corn industry. About four years later, we got into the metal fab business. In 2000, my dad retried, and we purchased the company from him,” Jansen said.

From 2000 to 2010 the company employed about 15 people.

In August 2010, Handy Industries, which is known for making high quality motorcycle lifts, truck tailgates and shop accessories, closed its doors and Janco purchased the company.

“From 2010 on, we ran our powder coating, our assembly and our sales staff in Marshalltown and our metal fabrication was in Sully,” Jansen said.

The Jansens had plans to eventually bring the team from the Marshalltown facility to a new, 50,000-square foot location in Sully, but when a fire ravaged the original building in January 2014,

Semis collide on I-80; one to hospital

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News An incident involving a semi backed up traffic on Interstate 80 on Monday afternoon.

According the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, calls began coming in shortly after 1 p.m. about a collision involving two semis in the westbound lanes close to the 173 mile marker, near the Kellogg exit for Iowa Highway 224.

A call came in at about 1:19 p.m. about one of the semis driving in reverse on the interstate, with the driver apparently having some type of medical emergency. Deputies arrived about six minutes later, and discovered two semis had been involved in an accident near the 175 mile marker, stopping westbound traffic in that area.

Motorists were attempting to assist one of the semi drivers, who deputies found to be unresponsive. He was re-

moved from the cab, and a deputies were able to get the semi out of the traveled portion of the interstate to allow traffic to begin flowing again.

The driver was identified as Wade Point, 46, of Davenport. He was treated at the scene by Newton Fire EMS personnel and taken to a local medical facility for treatment.

Authorities said he is suspected of being under the influence of controlled substances. Sheriff John Halferty said charges are possible, but the investigation is ongoing.

The investigation shows Point was driving and either backed or rolled into the other semi. No other injuries occurred.

Halferty said he thanks the motorists who assisted at the scene, along with Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Enforcement officers.

plans began to change.

Instead of operating out of multiple facilities in Sully, the Jansens decided to construct a brand-new facility a few blocks south of the fire damaged building.

“On Jan. 30, 2014, we had a massive fire in Sully, but prior to that fire we had building plans going on to get the Marshalltown facility to Sully. We were still going to utilize that building in Sully. When we had the fire we decided to add an additional 90 feet to the new building,” Jansen said.

Groundbreaking for the new facility started in May of last year but because of a rainy summer, the process was delayed.

“The process went very well — there were hardly any issues,” Jansen said. “The only setback was Mother Nature — that was nothing we could control.”

NCSD board discusses professional development days

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton Community School District principals probably weren’t planning on discussing the value of its professional-development arrangement at Monday night’s board of education meeting, but a question from a board member brought out an interesting dialogue.

After outlining what went on during Monday’s professional development day, and what will go on during the other PD days this year, the principals took questions from the board. Board vice president Travis Padget asked to hear the pros and cons of using the last Monday of each month for a full PD day, compared with the previous format of having early-dismissal Wednesdays.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jasper County Conservation naturalists Greg Oldsen and Katie Cantu made a presentation to the Newton Community School District board of education Monday night about field trips that involve Newton-area students. The board’s main discussion of the meeting was about professional development days, and the plan for the rest of the school year.

“A year ago (at the start of the 2014-15 school year), we changed the calendar to have longer durations, compared to having a Wednesday every week,” Padget said. “So, are we seeing what we were looking for when we changed that?”

Berg Middle School Principal Lisa Sharp said her staff doesn’t have any kind of common collaboration time in the regular schedule now, so there are no common times for, say, all of the math or science teachers at BMS to meet within the school

day.

Woodrow Wilson Elementary School Principal Todd Schuster said his school’s schedule allows for common collaboration time, so he likes the one-day-permonth PD format.

Iowa locations.

Chartier didn’t want to mention any specific elements of the Jasper County plan or any names or businesses, as the county’s incentive package is still in the works. However, he did say it’s important to maximize resources and economic elements that are unique to Jasper County, so the package has attributes that make it stand out on a list of communities.

“Those involved with t h e Home base Iowa initiative locally are looking into the most efficient incentives that can be offered to match our communities’ intent,” Chartier said.

One aspect that might be affecting the speed of each community earning an HBI designation is a change in leadership. Kathy Anderson, the program manager for Home Base Iowa, recently left to take over as vice president of the Member Development and Programs at Iowa Association of Business and Industry.

Ag secretary: combines begin to harvest corn, soybean fields DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service Monday.

“Combines have started to roll and five percent of corn and seven percent of soybeans have already been harvested. That will likely increase significantly this week as crops continue to dry down.

Unfortunately, some areas of Southwest Iowa could be delayed another week or more following heavy rains last week,” Northey said. “With crops coming out it is also great to see cover crops starting to appear across the state.”

Wet conditions in western Iowa kept farmers out of the fields, while warm and dry conditions in the rest of the state marked the beginning of harvest activ-

ities for many during the week ending Sept. 27. Statewide there were 4.8 days suitable for fieldwork which included cutting hay, chopping silage, harvesting seed corn, corn for grain and soybeans.

Seventy-one percent of the corn crop was percent mature. Five percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, a week ahead of last year, but 13 days behind average. Moisture content of all

corn being harvested was at 24 percent.

Corn condition rated 80 percent good to excellent.

Ninety-two percent of soybeans were turning color or beyond, while 72 percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, two days ahead of normal. Seven percent of the soybean crop has been harvested.

Soybean condition rated 77 percent good to excellent.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A combine makes its way down a road Monday. Iowa State Patrol officer Doug Cutts and many others encourage drivers to keep their eyes on the road and to proceed with caution during the fall, when more farm vehicles tend to be on the roads.

Drivers urged to be on alert for farm traffic

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The dangers of texting and driving are well-advertised.

Those dangers are multiplied when slow-moving farm vehicles are on the roads each fall.

Iowa State Patrol officer Doug Cutts and many others involved with public safety encourage drivers to keep their Cutts eyes on the road and to proceed with even more caution than usual during the fall, when more farm vehicles tend to be on roads and highways.

“They move a lot slower, in a lot of cases,” Cutts said. “And there are a lot of blind corners, curves, hills, large buildings and other vehicles. It’s time to slow down and pay attention.”

While the population of Jasper County has been somewhat stagnant for decades, the number of licensed drivers continues to rise. In fact, between 2007 and 2014, the number of licensed drivers in the county has gone up about 20 percent — from nearly 23,000 to more than 27,000.

With so many drivers on the road, it sometimes makes it tough for farmers to safely move along regular roads. Uncontrolled “T” intersections — especially in places that have high

corn or other tall crops — are among the biggest challenges, Cutts said.

Cutts is a senior trooper with the Iowa State Patrol in the safety education division. His territory is vast, but he lives in the Newton area, and he ends up spending a great deal of time with young people in the Newton Community School District. Last week he placed an alcohol awareness display in the Newton High School rotunda on the Friday before homecoming weekend.

Agriculture poses a different kind of challenge to younger drivers, Cutts said.

“One thing young people benefit from is routine,” Cutts said. “Working with crops is anything but routine, in terms of when vehicles are on the roads. If there’s rain in the forecast for the next day, and a field needs to be worked, you’ll see a combine out there, day or night.”

Cutts said some of the vehicles that require special care include combines, tractors, wagons, trailers and even larger trucks, such as 18-wheel big rigs, among others. Some of these vehicles are stopped or are moving very slowly, and might change directions at any time.

“A lot of vehicles will take up more than one lane, or are even larger than the entire road,” Cutts said.

The 2015-16 Iowa Drivers Manual suggests a driver should “make sure the driver of the slow-moving vehicle can see your vehicle before

passing.”

Cutts reminds drivers that the only legal way to pass any vehicle that’s on a roadway — even farm vehicles — is to begin and complete the pass where it’s legal to do so. A driver must have a dashed line, or at least a dashed line on their side of a solid line, and must complete the pass before a single solid or a double solid yellow line begins.

The state trooper said it’s important to not have any kind of electronic device in hand while driving — especially in farming areas in the fall. The Iowa Department of Transportation reported that there were 771 crashes involving at least one driver who was using a device at the time of a wreck, and four of those accidents led to a total of six deaths. There were 330 injuries in those 771 wrecks, with 10 injuries classified as “major.”

Cutts said traveling slowly and being ready to slow down or stop requires having both hands on the wheel as much as possible. He said phones and other devices are discouraged, as are having food, drink containers or makeup in hand.

“People need to just drive when they’re at the wheel,” Cutts said. “If you’re driving around tractors and combines, and you have a drink in one hand and food in the other, who’s driving?”

Corn Growers announce harvest weight limit waiver JOHNSTON — To help haul in this year’s harvest, Gov. Terry Branstad signed into effect a proclamation granting a temporary weight limit exemption for trucks on Iowa roads. The proclamation specifically increases the weight allowable for shipment of corn, soybeans, hay, straw and stover, by 12.5 percent per axle (up to a maximum of 90,000 pounds) without the need for an oversize/overweight permit.

The 2015 proclamation again applies to loads transported on all highways within Iowa, excluding the interstate system. Trucks cannot exceed the truck’s regular maximum by more than 12.5 percent per axle and must obey the posted limits on all roads and bridges.

“We as farmers understand the harvest weight proclamation is not a right by law, but a petition to the Governor,” Iowa Corn Growers Association President and Decorah farmer Bob Hemesath said. “On behalf of Iowa farmers, we sincerely thank Governor Branstad for the proclamation, which will significantly improve farmers’ efficiency during harvest.”

ICGA provided Gov. Branstad the information required for a proclamation, as well as information on the estimated harvest predictions. The proclamation directs the Iowa Department of Transportation to monitor the operation of the proclamation, assure the public’s safety and facilitate the movement of the trucks involved. Farmers who are transporting grain are also required to follow their vehicle safety standards on axle weights.

The exemption was granted for 60 days, beginning Sept. 25.

Thomas Jefferson Elementary School Principal Tom Bartello said there are benefits to both models, as his school’s teams have time to meet with each other about once per six-day cycle.

“In one word, (it feels) overwhelming. To see it come together was very rewarding. The whole team worked together to create this,” Jansen said.

City area, and any subsequent qualifiers for the international conference in Nashville, Tenn., in April 2016.

• Heard from naturalists Katie Cantu and Greg Oldsen of Jasper County Conservation about field trips that involve Newton-area students. Cantu said the JCC programs made a total of 7,486 student contacts in Jasper County in 2013-14, with 256 of their 427 presentations targeting Newton Schools students. Board member Robyn Friedman praised not only the field trips to JCC facilities and other destinations, but also the use of some of NCSD’s extended on-campus green space.

• Decided to keep the regular Oct. 12 meeting date at Emerson Hough, despite Superintendent Bob Callaghan and Padget both announcing they have prior commitments. An Oct. 19 open-to-the-public board work session will be held at Emerson Hough to go over a va-

“This is an awesome project,” Allen said. “We started working on this in 2014, and we were going along with an expansion plans for the plant over here and the fire happened. I think the way Sully pulled together to help these guys get back on their feet is a testament to why they are here. They support the community and the community

riety of issues, including reconfiguration and its statistics, bond committee issues and a recently completed teacher survey.

• Approved the district’s Certified Annual Report, which had the district come out ahead by about $160,000 at the end of the 201314 school year. Director of Business Services Gayle Isaac thanked staff members Lorraine Bricker and Debbie Swank for their hard work.

• Acknowledged donations to the district, including winter fleece hats from Lynnville-Sully senior Marissa Vos as part of her 4-H citizenship project, a used trombone from Judy Monroe and a school supply donation from First Christian Church.

Free parking in city lots begins Thursday Newton Daily News Effective Thursday, the five city-owned metered lots will be available for free parking — residents and visitors will no longer have to deposit money into the parking meters.

The 12 parking meter spots on the square will return to three-hour parking. The City of Newton Public Works Department will begin taking the parking meters out of the lots this week, but in the interim, an “Out of Order” sticker has been placed on each parking meter to notify residents that payment is not required.

Any resident who has purchased a parking permit from the Newton Police Department for the city-owned lots will be refunded the prorated amount remaining on their parking permit.

Residents should expect to receive their parking permits refund in the mail during the month of October.

Residents are still responsible for paying any parking tickets received in the metered lots prior to the Oct. 1 effective date with late fees still applicable for non-payment.

Keeping Me on My Toes

What you see at a craft show

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 29, 2015

I have been participating in craft shows for about eight years and am always amazed at what people come up with to sell. As trends come and go, so do crafters, but there are always the diehards that have made crafting a living.

There are certain things you can always find at craft shows including jewelry, home decor and dip mixes. The jewelry ranges from unique stones and settings to personalized metal work and everything in between.

As one of the most popular vendors, jewelry sellers are often put on waiting lists to just get into shows.

Home decor is one of the more trendy items found at a show. Depending on what is new, items can range from fun holiday signs to hang on the front door to personalized picture frames or pretty much anything you can stick a name on and sell as oneof-a-kind.

Long gone are the country blue and lace decorations that were once a mainstay at craft shows. Up until a couple years ago, there was still a vendor selling vacuum covers made to look like different animals, but as times have changed, so has the ability to sell such an item.

A favorite of mine are the dip mixes. Both sweet and savory, everyone has their own version of a southwest bacon or vegetable mix, each one a little different and all delicious, in my opinion. There are also the sweet dips in fruity flavors like strawberry cheesecake and orange creamcicle.

During the hours spent at the show, I am known to make a few rounds tasting different samples each time and seeking out the best deal for my dollars. Another special item that I can only get at the show is a cherry or raspberry jalapeño jam. Paired with cream cheese spread on toast or

dipped with crackers, the snack with a slight kick of heat just doesn’t get any better.

There are also many vendors that you see come and go with trendy items that don’t seem to last more than a season. I often also wonder how vendors fare who have such a specific specialty that the variety of work they present is so small, if you don’t have the right buyer, you won’t sell more than a few items per show.

I know how much it costs to enter craft shows and when I see someone with only a single craft to sell, I hope they at least make enough to break even. It can be a hard lesson to learn if it is your first experience among veterans who have found their sweet spot to make money.

I have a rule when I am at craft shows: I will not buy with the money that I am trying to make. There are so many awesome, creative things to buy,

but because I am also a vendor, I don’t want to spend all of my money before it even makes it home.

That rule has only been bent a couple times for special, personalized Christmas ornaments or a snack here and there. For the most part, I am pretty good at just looking and maybe making a mental note for a future show or a craft I would like to try at home.

I am still amazed at the work crafters do, especially those working with wood and the number of people that come out to shop. With stores offering cheaper, watered-down versions of specialty items found at shows, I greatly appreciate everyone who comes out to get truly handmade items and help support the local economies.

The quotable Yogi

Another View

Iowa leaders urge bipartisan action on immigration reform Rep. John Forbes and Rep. Kevin Koester Iowa is not new to politics. As the first-in-the-nation caucus state, our media and communities are deeply involved and invested in the electoral process, from local races to the presidential election. In 2016, our state and nation face significant challenges and as Iowans, we take our role as the first caucus state seriously.

Immigration reform has long been a battle on the national stage. Plans from building a border fence to a pathway to citizenship have been proposed by politician and pundit alike.

However, here in Iowa, we value common sense solutions. While we may not agree on specific policy proposals, a majority of Democrats and Republicans agree that a realistic immigration solution needs to be presented and the 2016 election gives us that opportunity.

Our nation’s immigration system is broken. Individuals spend years and even decades for the chance to live their version of the American Dream, awaiting approvals during the legal immigration process. Meanwhile,

there are approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

Clearly, this system needs to be addressed and we owe it to future generations to begin this dialogue now and not to kick the can down the road for our children’s generation to fix.

A solution that continues to be proposed is border security.

While this is an important step, border security does not fix the system. Some leaders suggest deportation. Deporting all 11 million undocumented immigrants is simply not a realistic solution. A 2015 study from the American Action Forum notes that in order to deport all undocumented immigrants in our country, taxpayers would be footing a $400-600 billion price tag for these efforts. It is not financially or logistically feasible.

The real debate revolves around what is to be done to enforce current law and also support reform efforts that benefit our communities and businesses.

In the Des Moines Metro area, our demographics have changed and continue to change; we simply cannot ignore these changing realities. Our communities and economies are growing and

becoming more attractive in part to these changes. Urbandale is regularly listed as one of the best cities for home ownership across the state. Additionally, Ankeny also continues to grow and is the fastest growing city in Iowa with data from the recent census.

Our nation is made up of immigrants. We can all point to one family member or another, who took a gamble, risked it all in order to hope for a better future here in the United States.

However, our current system is broken and realistic solutions need to be proposed.

While the solutions presented for immigration reform are not easy, we owe it to our state and fellow citizens to begin to work on a common sense approach to immigration reform.

The Iowa Caucuses are often a time for stirring political causes. Instead, let us use our unique opportunity to improve immigration reform and to discuss realistic solutions.

I never met a bad writer who didn’t quote Yogi Berra frequently.

This is par ticularly true of newspaper people, many o f whom l o v e By Marc Dion baseba l l, principally because it makes them feel that it’s 1936 and everything is just fine in the newspaper business.

“It ain’t over ‘til it’s over,” the lazy editorial writer quotes, describing the local election cycle, the high school ball team’s shot at the title, an effort to bring a plastic factory to the town’s industrial park, a complicated bowel movement or an effort to raise money for a new city swimming pool.

Poor Yogi, dead at 90. He was a hell of a catcher, too. He made a living playing a sport and later made his living being a quotable goof and that, I think, is a fine life to live, since it involves minimal preparation, a small amount of work and a large amount of money.

Still, imagine if all of Berra’s mangled quotes had been said by a black ball player of the same generation. The quotes would have been stupid, not “cute.” We still largely ignore similarly mangled syntax from slum-raised football players, although we sometimes find bad English endearing if it’s spoken by a white southern athlete who says things like “happier than a itchy pig in a fresh mud hole.” Delightful!

The best athletes speak most clearly through their bodies.

Very few of us can understand that language, no matter how passionate we are about our sport or “our” team. The polished athlete speaking at a testimonial dinner is not speaking the language he or she speaks best, but is only making cheap jokes and recycling words of the “always give 110 percent” variety.

When the athlete’s muscles go, he or she must live on a pension, sign balls at autograph shows, pitch products on television, start a Jesus ministry, play golf, go to prison, get addicted to drugs and (hopefully) live to become one of those washed-up, ex-athlete, ex-junkie speakers high schools bring in to bore the hell out of kids. It’s what there is left when you can’t do it anymore.

And so they lose the ability to speak the language they spoke best.

They can still understand it but they can’t answer back anymore.

Yogi Berra stayed famous long after his time by not speaking very well, but surely he still understood that other language — the language of speed and sight and muscle, the one you can only speak when you are young and blessed with a good body and superior coordination.

So maybe we should not think of Yogi Berra as a fount of such ideas as “when you come to a fork in the road, take it” — the kind of verbal mishmash that, when quoted, always seemed just on the edge of being degrading.

Think of him young and strong, behind home plate, roaring in the language you speak without words.

Yogi was a poet in that tongue.

Obituaries Larry Lust Sept. 25, 2015 Larry C. Lust, 69, of Newton, died Friday, Sept. 25, 2015, at his home. His wishes were to be cremated, no services are scheduled and a private family interment will be held.

Larry would have liked to thank all of Newton and all of the people he was blessed with knowing for making his life so very special. Larry was always happy to let everyone know he was not going to have a funeral because nobody invited

him, and he didn’t want to go anyway.

He is with the Lord in Heaven with his parents, Charles H. “Chuck” and Leona M. (Hopkins) Lust; sister, Mary Ann Hoelscher Thompson; and all the others that got to go before him. Lar-

ry always said no need for tears and that he was looking forward to joining everyone in heaven (probably at Burger King). He is survived by his two sons, Kerry (Marie) Lust of Plainfield, Ill., and Lance Scott Lust of Kellogg.

ISU selects Newton Main Street for Downtown Design Project Newton Daily News Iowa State University’s College of Design has selected Newton Main Street as one of three community partners from across the state to participate in its fall semester Downtown Design Project.

Students from the ISU graphic design department will work with 12 Main Street District retailers and restaurants to update logos, signage

and storefront designs.

“Whether a national corporation or a locally owned business, all businesses need branding to accurately show what they offer and appeal to customers,” Newton Main Street Executive Director Andrew Bassman said. “This project is a great way to provide access to this service while saving district business owners a few dollars.”

Newton Main Street

covers the $1,750 cost of the project. Participating businesses receive the service at no charge.

Students will be in Newton on Sept. 29.

They will meet with a community representative for a brief overview of the community, followed by one-on-one consultations with business owners and lunch in the Main Street District.

Each business receives a two-page color report featuring prototype de-

signs. Businesses are under no obligation to use the proposed designs.

Newton Main Street will receive a comprehensive report of the designs.

ISU started the project in 2003 to assist smaller, independent businesses lacking the resources needed to hire a marketing firm to update their image. The other participating communities this year are Sheldon and West Liberty.

People who ask about accent are being friendly, not rude DEAR ABBY: I have lived in the United States for 40 years. My first 32 years were spent in Puerto Rico, so I speak with an accent. My problem is almost everyone I meet asks me where I’m from. I usually try to disguise my discomfort by jokingly asking them to guess.

The truth is, I feel singled out as being different and not belonging.

My friends and family tell me I’m being too sensitive, that people are just curious. I say it’s rude to ask such a personal question of a total stranger. Would it be impolite for me to point out that they’re asking for very personal information? Am I being too sensitive? — ACCENTED IN GEORGIA DEAR ACCENTED: I think so.

People are often curious when someone has an accent that is different from theirs. I have a strong Midwestern accent, and people ask me where I’m from. They aren’t asking because they are nosy; they’re trying to be friendly. Many people in this country come from other places, and the more people who come here, the more often that question will be raised.

DEAR ABBY: My four wonderful kids want to give their father and me a 50th wedding anniversary celebration next year. The problem is, everyone knows I’m an introvert who does not like going to parties. The thought of being the main focus of a big gathering fills me with dread.

My husband, who is outgoing, says I should let them do it for us if it will make them happy. He would probably enjoy it, but for me it will just be something to suffer through. I’d rather do something with just the two of us — like see a Broadway show.

What do you think? Do I have to do this, even though I don’t want to? — ROSE OF TEXAS DEAR ROSE: I don’t think you

should have to suffer, but a compromise might be the solution to your problem. Instead of a large gathering, why not have a family celebration with your children, their spouses and your grandchildren? And then, because you would like to see a Broadway show — go to New York for a “second honeymoon.”

DEAR ABBY: I recently began dating a man who is kind, intelligent and fun. The only drawback I can see is that he keeps his fingernails long. I feel superficial confessing that something so seemingly petty is off-putting, but it is.

Is it OK to make a request of a man regarding his physical appearance? If so, how do I broach the conversation?

And if not, what can I do so it won’t bother me? — PUT OFF IN DELAWARE DEAR PUT OFF: Could this man be a guitarist and need the nails for strumming? If not, I don’t think it would be rude to casually ask him why he keeps his fingernails long. You might also suggest that the next time you go for a manicure he come along, and then suggest to him that men often get them and offer to treat him to one. If he has never experienced this, it might be a life-changing revelation.

(That’s what I’d do.)

Branstad signs executive order on school bullying DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad has signed an executive order to create an office that will tackle school bullying in Iowa, a move that follows years of failed attempts to pass comprehensive legislation on the issue. The order will establish a bullying prevention office through the University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Violence Prevention. The office will examine training opportunities, develop guidelines on various issues and address inconsistencies in data reporting of school bullying cases.

stealing from Iowa employer

NORTHWOOD — A 61-year-old Minnesota man has been accused of stealing from his employer in northern Iowa.

fish kills in northwest Iowa

SPENCER — Officials are investigating two fish kills in northwest Iowa.

The state Department of Natural Resources says it’s looking into a fish kill reported Monday along Stoney Creek northwest of Spencer in Clay County. The fish kill runs about 20 miles, though additional information about affected fish was not released. Officials have not identified the source of the fish kill but believe it was caused by fertilizer or animal manure because of elevated ammonia levels.

Waterloo council approves animal control use of firearms WATERLOO — The Waterloo City Council has voted to allow the city’s animal control officers to use firearms in certain instances to put down severely injured or sick wildlife. The council unanimously approved the ordinance Monday. Currently, control officers have to wait for assistance from an on-duty Waterloo police officer to put down an animal. Firearms would be kept at a remote location.

Iowans who sought to draft Christie in 2011, back him again DES MOINES (AP) — He’s behind in the polls and has spent little time in Iowa of late, but Chris Christie is set to get a major bump in the leadoff caucus state with endorsements from nearly all of the local Republican heavyweights who tried to recruit him to run four years ago.

Six of the seven big-money donors and activists who flew to New Jersey to urge the Republican governor to run in the 2012 race plan to formally en-

Home Base Continued from Page 1A In April, about 10 Jasper County leaders and representatives of various agencies discussed with Anderson — in a public meeting — the benefits of the program and how to get qualified.

The private-public partnership, led by Gov. Terry Branstad, to help communities attract and retain women and men who have recently ended their active duty in an effort to help Iowa fill in the skill gaps in various trades. Funded partly

dorse Christie in Des Moines Tuesday. The news was first reported by the Des Moines Register.

“What we’ve looked at and come around to is similar thoughts as in 2011,” said Bruce Rastetter, a major GOP donor who made his fortune in the pork and ethanol industries. “We need blunt, bold leadership. We need somebody that can actually govern.”

Of the seven who hopped aboard the private plane to the

by the 2014 Home Base Iowa Act (SF 2352), the partnership offers home-purchasing, employment placement and educational opportunities and aid that is designed to get former military to move to certain communities.

Here are the basic built-in, state-implemented benefits of Home Base Iowa: • A military pension tax exemption for veterans who relocate to HBI communities.

• A hiring preference program that includes transferring a professional license into Iowa.

• Automatic in-state tuition rates at all Iowa colleges and universities

east coast in 2011, two have long been vocal supporters and one has said he would not endorse because he works for an elected official. Getting the majority to publicly endorse Christie is a boon for his campaign, which has struggled to compete in a crowded field that includes attention-grabbing front-runner Donald Trump.

“Whatever he needs, we’re going to be behind him,” said real estate developer Gary Kirke, who said the group

for relocating veterans, spouses and dependents.

• Participation in a statewide online jobs database specifically aimed at skill sets attained in the military.

A community’s incentive package is expected to go above and beyond the basic requirements of earning a Home Base Iowa designation, which are: • Getting area businesses to commit to hire a specified number of veterans by 2018, whether it is one or 100 or any number. Home Base Iowa won’t publish that total, but 10 percent

wanted to stick together.

His backers think his chances are improving after strong debate performances and with two governors — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry —now out of the race. Now Rastetter said he hopes the endorsements will send a message to Iowa Republicans, that they should “give him another look.”

Christie held a town hall meeting with Rastetter Monday night, telling the crowd

of all private area businesses must sign on as part of the program.

• Submitting an incentive plan that goes above and beyond the statewide program and any regular government veterans benefits.

• Communities must agree to prominently display the Home Base Iowa Community designation. One $60 roadside metal sign must be displayed on a prominently entry point to the community.

• The community obtains written backing in seeking the designation from the appropriate lo-

gathered in a cavernous barn that “you’ll always know how hard I’m willing to fight for you.” He declined to talk about the endorsements in advance of the Tuesday press conference.

The trip this week marks his ninth to the leadoff caucus state this year. Christie, who has focused more heavily on New Hampshire, has spent less time here than many other contenders, though he put in a marathon day at the Iowa State Fair in August.

cal governing body — in the case of counties, the board of supervisors.

There have been designations awarded to nine new communities since the April meeting in Newton. The list includes the city of Marion, along with Carroll, Clarke, Clay, Dubuque, Floyd, Greene, Hancock, Howard, Humboldt, Mitchell, Union and Webster counties.

Communities are not required to apply as either a city or a county, as it might be tough to get agreement across a vast urban county, but a specified area is im-

portant because business licenses and real estate are typically grouped by counties.

Chartier said there are no public meetings currently scheduled regarding the Jasper County effort to earn an HBI designation. However, once some people and plans are in place, he will get the word out as soon as possible.

“Once something is formalized, (the media) will certainly be involved,” Chartier said.

Cardinals net second at Roland-Story

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Taylor Shipley is a steady force from the service line for Newton High’s Cardinals. The Cardinals played in a tournament hosted by Roland-Story Monday in Story City. Newton hosts Grinnell Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference play and holds its Cardinal Invitational Saturday.

STORY CITY — Building momentum halfway through the season, Newton High’s Cardinals notched two more victories on the volleyball court Monday night.

The Cardinals went 2-1 in action at the Roland-Story tournament, finishing second. Newton junior Megan Pressgrove and senior Adrienne Bergman were named to the all-tournament team.

Newton improved to 13-14 on the season. The Cardinals host Grinnell (8-13) Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference action. Both teams are 0-3 in conference play.

Newton opened tournament play with a 21-11, 2117 win over Carlisle. The Cardinals faced their host, Roland-Story, in the second match of the night. After losing the first set, Newton rallied to win 19-21 21-15, 15-13.

The lone loss of the event came against BCLUW, 2113, 21-8.

“The girls played some phenomenal volleyball,” Newton assistant coach Taylor Peska said. “We had a big win against Carlisle, and then the girls fought hard to get the win over Roland-Story. We played big, and we played quick.”

Pressgrove delivered 14 kills for the Cardinals in the three matches — eight came against Roland-Story. She also had 12 set assists, nine digs and one ace serve. Pressgrove made one solo block and two assisted blocks at the net.

Bergman was perfect at the service line, going 17of-17 on the night. She had two ace serves. Bergman was credited with three digs.

CMB struggles in loss to Van Meter

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — Losing a teammate to a season-ending injury is always tough.

Players can either rally around the injury and step up to the challenge or lose focus mentally knowing they’ll be without one of their best players the rest of the season.

Monday, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter coach Scott Ranck thought his team did the latter in a four-set home loss to Van Meter.

The Bulldogs were the aggressors most of the night, jumped out

to an early lead and then put the Raiders away with back-to-back wins when the match was all squared at one. Van Meter went on to win 2517, 21-25, 25-22, 25-23.

Sophomore Brianda Bane watched the match in street clothes as she was injured over the weekend in an AAU basketball tournament.

She tore the ACL in her right knee and will miss the rest of volleyball season and most likely all of basketball, too.

It’s a big blow to a Raider squad that had Troy Hyde/Daily News leaned a lot on its depth Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Sailor Hinegardner, left, passes the ball to this season.

PCM announces temporary changes to girls’ track program

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Phyllis Peter/Special to Daily News Prairie City-Monroe girls’ track coach Bridget Martin, center, is shown here with the Mustangs’ 2015 4x400 team that placed fifth at the state track meet last spring. Martin, who is expecting her second baby in January, has decided to step away from head coaching duties for a year but will remain on the PCM track and field staff as a volunteer assistant.

Prairie City-Monroe girls track coach Bridget Martin has a lot of passion for track and field.

So when a change in her personal life came about this summer, Martin hoped the school district would honor her wishes of temporarily shuffling around her coaching staff.

Expecting her second child in January, Martin has decided to hand the track program’s reins over to another former

PCM standout as Lindsey Cunningham will be the interim head coach this upcoming season.

Martin will remain on the Mustangs’ staff as a volunteer assistant and her father, Wayne Burns, will move into the paid assistant coaching position.

After the 2015 season, Martin will move back to head coach, Cunningham will be the paid assistant and Burns will take back his role as volunteer assistant.

This & That

It’s time to walk the walk, not just talk the talk One of my favorite things to do when I am not working or spending time with family and friends, is working out.

Yes, I said it. I like to work out.

W h e n school is in session, and my wife is back at work, going to the gym has become a daily ritual with my daughter. It’s where I go to work out and By Troy Hyde relieve stress Newton Daily and it’s what News my 2-year-old Sports Writer calls “school.”

I have no issues finding a little bit of time to work out every day. I have trained for several half-marathons and 10K during my days. The time to train for another race I have yet to sign up for is now.

I decided to begin another training session Monday. I plan on running every other day during the week, moving up the distances as I go.

But running, walking and/ or lifting weights has never been the issue. My problem is with the nutrition part.

I like to eat. And since I have an unusual schedule, I spend a lot of time in my car and away from home, which creates a tough environment for a healthy diet.

I am working on it. It’s not something that comes easy to me though. I don’t cook so that’s another problem. And healthy food is expensive.

That’s another issue.

But when I made a commitment to getting back to running more consistently, I also decided to take it up a notch when it comes to eating better.

I am going to try to stop eating late at night when I come home from work. That may be part of the problem.

I have shown before that I can shed pounds without much trouble if I devote myself to a healthy diet and maintain a strong exercise regimen.

I think something else that helps me stay motivated is signing up for races.

There might be a 5K that you can sign up for every weekend, but I have never participated in one. When I participate in a road race, I go big or go home.

I have run in the Drake Relays 10K three times, went the distance in three Dam to Dam races and finished three Des Moines Half Marathons.

I need another challenge.

Maybe I’ll sign up for my seventh half-marathon. That would be one thing that would ensure I stick to the program.

But I won’t be at my best until I shed some pounds. And that starts and ends with me eating better. I have to stop pulling into fast food restaurants.

Driving into gas stations and spending a few bucks on food I don’t need is another habit I need to avoid.

It’s hard. I can’t lie about that. It’s so easy to do when all the time I have to eat some nights is the time I have in my car driving from an area sporting event to the office.

Health and fitness is challenging. But it’s time for me to step up to the challenge and starting walking the walk and not just talking the talk.

Ducks drop out of Top 25 football poll The Associated Press Oregon is out of The Associated Press college football poll for the first time since 2009, snapping its streak of consecutive Top 25 appearances at 98.

The Ducks were blasted at home 62-20

by Utah on Saturday night. It was the most points ever allowed by the Ducks at Autzen Stadium and gave them two September losses for the first time since 2004.

The top six teams in the AP media poll were the same as last week with Ohio State No. 1, Michigan State No.2 and Mississippi No. 3.

One small difference, TCU was tied with Ole Miss last week. The Horned Frogs are now fourth after escaping from Texas Tech with a victory. Baylor is fifth and Notre Dame sixth.

Utah surged eight spots to No. 10 after beating the Ducks and received one first-place vote.

CMB girls claim runner-up trophy at Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Banning/Webster City Daily-Freeman Journal Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Anna Jones runs in the Nevada Invitational at Hickory Grove Park on Monday. Jones placed 42nd overall and the Raiders were second as a team, trailing only Class 2A No. 8 North Polk.

Raiders Continued from Page 1B Bane came into Monday with a team-high 70 kills.

“The mental focus wasn’t there tonight. It’s very disappointing. We had a pretty solid week of practice so this was surprising,” Ranck said. “We need to adapt and rise to the challenge when something doesn’t go right, but tonight we just seemed apathetic.”

Bane’s injury will push Mikayla Eslinger into a bigger role, and the junior stepped in and had seven kills in the loss.

Eslinger was one of six players to finish with at least five kills, joining Kathleen Baldwin (4), Bridget Hurley (5), Bekah Pearson (8), Jordynn Wesselink (5) and Payge Jurgens (8).

Van Meter took control of the opening set when it broke a 7-all tie with five straight points.

CMB (6-5) got back within 12-11, but the Bulldogs pulled away for good with a few other short runs.

The Raiders responded in set two and evened the match at one apiece.

They jumped out to a 5-1 lead and then closed it out by scoring 10 of the final 16 points after Van Meter (105) tied it at 15.

The home team had to battle back in set three after falling behind early.

Trailing 18-11, the Raiders rolled off six straight behind Hurley’s serve to pull within one.

The 6-0 run included two Hurley aces and two kills apiece by Wesselink and Eslinger.

NEVADA — The Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter girls’ cross country team was ready to take on Class 2A No. 11 West Marshall for a third time this season and also expected a tough challenge from East Marshall on Monday at the Nevada Invitational at Hickory Grove Park.

But the Raiders were not mentally prepared to face 2A No. 8 North Polk as the Comets were dropped down to the Class B race just before the event began.

Like they have all season, the Raiders held their own and finished in second with 77 points. North Polk won the meet with 58, West Marshall was third with 84 and East Marshall placed fourth with 91. Colfax-Mingo also competed and placed 12th in the 12-team field.

“Our girls ran great tonight,” Meinerts said. “They are fierce competitors and have really done a great job being ready for anything, but it would be nice to be notified when they change our competition. It’s like heading to a basketball game against one opponent, then getting to the gym and finding out your playing someone else. That shouldn’t happen.”

CMB’s top performers were Heather Jessen and Brenna Thomson, who rounded out the top 10 in ninth and 10th, respectively. Jessen was clocked at 21 minutes, 46.47 seconds and Thomson

Unfortunately, Van Meter closed out the set and grabbed an advantage in the match after scoring seven of the final 12 points.

The fourth and final set was the most competitive.

Neither team led by more than three and there were 11 ties.

The final tie came following a Wesselink kill that made it 23-all, but Van Meter scored two straight to lock up the set and the match.

“We gave them lots of free balls. They got aggressive on us, and we just stood back and stood flat footed,” Ranck said. “We have been doing a lot of quick feet drills to help us move our feet better, but it looked like we have been doing nothing for a week and a half.”

The biggest issue on the night for CMB came behind the service line.

The Raiders were 73-of88 on the night, including 19-of-24 in the second set and 16-of-23 in the third.

Hurley was 17-of-17 in serves, and she finished with three aces and eight digs.

Baldwin was 10-of-11 in serves. She had four aces and a double-double with 12 digs and 22 assists.

Toni Spencer collected 25 digs and two aces and Sailor Hinegardner collected seven digs.

The Raiders will have a chance to flush this loss quickly. The Raiders travel to Prairie City-Monroe (5-15) on Tuesday. Varsity action begins at 7 p.m. in Monroe.

Raider boys finish eighth, Tigerhawks 10th at Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NEVADA — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter cross country coach Jerry Meinerts knows his squad works hard. He sees it every day in practice.

And even though the hard work hasn’t translated into fast times and high placings, Meinerts knows the Raiders are bound to break out at some point.

Monday in the Nevada Invitational at Hickory Grove Park, CMB’s best finish came from Ian Thomson as he crossed in 23rd place with a time of 19 minutes, 9 seconds and Carter Fricke was 27th in 19:22.

The Raiders were eighth in the team standings with 184 points, while Colfax-Mingo also competed and finished 10th.

“I can’t fault the boys because I know they are working hard,” Meinerts said. “They will have a race where they break through and really start having some

Martin Continued from Page 1B “It will be a great thing for the program,” Martin said. “Lindsey expressed interest in being my assistant when that position opened up this offseason. I will very much be involved in planning the practice schedule and the three of us will work closely together to continue our tradition of success.

“I feel fortunate to have a school district with a family-first mentality that is willing to work with me so I can continue to be involved in the program.”

Jordan Spieth wins FedEx Cup ATLANTA (AP) — Jordan Spieth didn’t need the Tour Championship, the FedEx Cup or an extra $10 million to prove anything.

He just played that way.

No matter what happened Sunday at East Lake, his highlight was always going to be the green jacket he won at the Masters with a record-tying score. The U.S. Open title he won at Chambers Bay only made it better. His bid for the Grand Slam, his run through the majors and his awards made this a season to remember.

And then the 22-year-old Texan put on a finishing touch that made it all the more sweeter — and richer.

“Incredible,” Spieth said after closing with a 1-under 69 for a four-shot victory in the Tour Championship.

The other three scoring runners were Lauren Ratliff in 14th, Shasta Moody in 16th and Chasity Moody in 28th. Anna Jones was 42nd overall and Stephanie Twohey crossed in 53rd.

“All of our girls have been working extremely hard in practice and have gotten so much better,” Meinerts said. “I can’t wait to have a race where our top four girls all finish in the 21s. That’s a goal to accomplish by the end of the season.”

Colfax-Mingo did not have its top runner, Dakota Hostetter, for the second straight meet. That pushed the Tigerhawks to the back of the team standings as Ilia Hostetter was the top finisher in 58th. Colleen Craig was 62nd, Payton Rhone finished 68th, Morgan McKinney placed 70th and Kylie Wellington crossed in 73rd.

“While we would like to see some better times and be more competitive as a team, I never question the effort of this group of kids,” Colfax-Mingo coach Zach Tomas said. “We are very young on both sides, and I know we are going to have some breakout performances before the end of the season.”

In the end, the hard-luck Swede could only smile.

“Whenever he had to make a putt, he did it,” said Stenson, a runner-up for the third time in the FedEx Cup playoffs this year. “Very well-deserving champion. He’s hard to beat on the greens, we know that. And (I) just couldn’t keep pace with him.”

Those are the details of a day that capped off a great season.

Spieth also won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest adjusted scoring average.

Stenson had a 72 to tie for second with Danny Lee (65) and Justin Rose (66).

Colfax-Mingo’s top finisher was Cameron Warner, who crossed in 37th.

Cauy Furgison finished 40th, Will Dunsbergen ended up 61st, Nic Duffy crossed in 64th and Mike Martinez was the final counting place in 68th.

Kenseth wins second race of NASCAR’s playoff LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Matt Kenseth had the fresher tires and the fuller tank as he stalked Kevin Harvick with postseason advancement at stake.

Harvick never slowed down to conserve fuel, his team firm in the belief he could stretch his way to victory lane.

The gamble backfired.

Harvick was out of gas, and now, almost out of chances to defend his Sprint Cup title.

Kenseth pressured Harvick down the stretch and took the lead for good when the defending series champion ran out of fuel Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the second race of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

“I ran as hard as I could to

get as close as I could to him because I wanted to beat him,” Kenseth said. “The faster he has to go, obviously, he burns more gas.”

Harvick burned it all. Every last drop gone for the Stewart-Haas Racing driver before the finish line.

Kenseth, who won for the fifth time, earned a berth in the second round of NASCAR’s playoffs and gave Joe Gibbs Racing its fourth straight victory.

Harvick had the dominant car and led the most laps until fuel woes hit and knocked him out with three laps left. He tumbled to 21st a week after he was finished 42nd in the Chase opener and will surely have to win next week at Dover International Speedway to

advance to the second round.

Harvick declined comment.

“Fast car. Great day. Bad ending,” he tweeted. “Things haven’t gone exactly to plan but I promise you one thing ‘we will not quit’ #itaintover.”

JGR is 2 for 2 in the Chase and continued to prove its Toyotas will be the ones to beat over the final eight races.

Denny Hamlin, the winner last week at Chicagoland, was second for JGR. Chase drivers took eight of the top 10 spots.

The 16-driver Chase field will be cut to 12 after Dover.

Kyle Busch, Paul Menard, Harvick and Clint Bowyer are the final four drivers on the brink of elimination. They would advance with a victory, but Jimmie Johnson stands in

Tigerhawk netters fall short at BGM

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Megan Earles had a double-double and Mackensie Brown had 23 digs in her first match as Colfax-Mingo’s libero, but the Tigerhawk volleyball team dropped a four-setter to BGM during South Iowa Earles Cedar League play on Monday.

Earles had 16 assists, 10 digs and four kills, but BGM won the match 25-13, 20-25, 25-22, 25-21.

Ries Wilson led the Tigerhawks with nine kills, and she also had 17 digs, while Dakota Hostetter also had 17 digs and five kills.

Colfax-Mingo (4-9 overall, 2-4 in SICL) returns to action at 7 p.m. Thursday against Lynnvile-Sully in Colfax.

The win ended a twomatch losing skid for BGM (9-9, 3-3).

PCM goes 2-2 at Nevada, loses to Roland-Story The Prairie City-Monroe volleyball team went 2-2 this weekend at the Nevada Invitational and then the Mustangs lost in two sets to Heart of Iowa Conference rival Roland-Story on Monday night.

PCM took down ACA 2115, 18-21, 15-11 and took down Atlantic 24-26, 25-19, 16-14.

Blaney wins Xfinity race at Kentucky Speedway SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Ryan Blaney completed a Team Penske season sweep of the NASCAR Xfinity Series races at Kentucky Speedway, beating Ty Dillon in a green-white-checkered finish Saturday night.

After the record-tying 10th caution, Dillon led Blaney, Regan Smith, Chase Elliott and defending race winner Brendan Gaughan on the restart.

Blaney was inside of Dillon and got the kind of restart

that he didn’t a few laps earlier when Dillon passed him.

Blaney pulled away to his fourth career Xfinity victory and second this season. He also won at the track in 2013 for his first series victory.

“We were just even with (Dillon) and (Smith) gave us a good push,” said Blaney, who led 81 of the 201 laps. “That’s all it is now. Who can get a big push.

Luckily, we were able to get a good one and just get a little bit

of position to kind of ease up the race track to get in front of him.

I knew once we were clear we had a really good shot at it.”

Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski also won in the No. 22 Ford in July at Kentucky.

Dillon was second, 0.519 seconds behind Blaney.

Smith was third, followed

by Elliott and Brandon Jones.

their way at Dover, where he has a track-record 10 victories.

Harvick was knocked out of the race last week when he connected with Johnson and blew a tire. He later got into an altercation with Johnson in the motorhome lot and shoved the Hendrick Motorsports driver.

Harvick led 216 of 300 laps and heads to Dover — where he is 0 for 29 — with one of the biggest must-win races of his career.

Chevrolet is winless in 11 straight races, matching its longest drought since 2012.

Harvick wasn’t the only Chase driver whose championship hopes are on the rocks.

Busch was the first Chase driver to suffer serious dam-

age when his right front tire blew and he hit the wall. Busch, who won the July race in New Hampshire, took the No. 18 straight to the garage.

“It’s killed,” he said over the radio.

Fourth in the standings entering the race, Busch dropped to 13th in points after he finished 37th.

Brad Keselowski had his shot at an automatic bid into the second round end when he was black flagged with 58 laps left after a review showed he jumped the restart while racing Greg Biffle for the lead.

He stayed on the lead lap but sunk to 25th after the penalty.

He rebounded to finish 12th.

Jeff Gordon set the Sprint Cup record with his 789th consecutive start.

As the moon moves into Taurus, the sign of appetites, realize the gift inside this state of being called “satisfied.” If you’re content, count yourself among the world’s most fortunate. No amount of wealth or power can get you a ticket into that club. “My crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.” -- William Shakespeare.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Leaders allow themselves to be guided by what they like, their fantasies of an ideal world, their dreams of what could be, while the others allow themselves to be guided by what’s likely to gain approval.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re deciding how great you want to be at something. You have some natural talent and some time to practice, but do you have a reason good enough to keep you motivated through the work?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The world is a puzzle, and you are the missing piece. Do not underestimate how vital you are to the big picture. Apply yourself and watch it all come together all around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It irks you that in certain relationships, you’re always the one who reaches out first. Don’t take it personally. It’s not that they don’t love you -- they adore you! This is just the pattern that’s been set.

“performances” you get.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You may not like how the day unwinds, but hang in there.

Stay connected and keep working on the knotty problems.

Without your skill, the others would be lost.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You do different things for different people, and perhaps you won’t quite settle into the groove that is “so you” today.

Just know that your top three roles in life don’t begin to define the depths of you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Commitments come with responsibilities. Because you cherish your freedom, you’re likely to say no to several of-

fers in the weeks to come, starting with a decent one today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Relationships need maintenance. A lunch date might seem inconvenient, but set it up anyway. Think of it as the periodical oil change that’s necessary to keep the relationship running.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Some people are just a lot harder to say no to than others.

That’s why you don’t pick up the call. You know what will happen. Niceties lead to affinities, which lead to agreements -- and there you are at “yes” again!
