No suspense on Election Night in Newton Other city races in Jasper County provide some surprises

By Bob Eschliman Daily News Editor There were no surprises in Tuesday night’s city elections in Newton. That’s largely because none of the candidates on the ballot was opposed.

Based on unofficial results released Tuesday night by the Jasper County Auditor’s Office, Mayor Mike Hansen won his first full term in office with 289 votes (92.04 percent).

Twenty-five write-in votes were cast.

Ward 2 Councilor Evelyn George received 79

votes (98.75 percent); one write-in vote was cast.

Ward 4 Councilor Steve Mullan received 93 votes (97.89 percent); two write-in votes were cast.

The lone newcomer to the Newton City Council will be Lin Chapé, who received 312 votes (96.59 percent) in the at-large council race; 11 write-in votes were cast. She was unopposed on the ballot to take over for long-time councilor Dennis Julius, who opted not to seek re-election.

Skiff Medical Center trustees Lois Vogel and Dr. Larry DeCook received 300 and 291 votes, respectively, and were re-elected to their seats on the board. Nine write-in votes were cast; both were unopposed on

the ballot.

Turnout was likely hampered by the lack of contested races, as well as cold and rainy weather throughout the day.

In Newton, 339 registered voters (3.04 percent) went to the polls.

The final, official vote tallies will be set following a canvass of the election conducted by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors. That is slated to take place at noon next Tuesday in the supervisors’ boardroom.

In neighboring Lambs Grove, voters had a contested council race, and were to write in their new mayor.

Turnout there was 20.14 percent, or 29 voters.

At Monday night’s marathon Newton City Council meeting, councilors unanimously approved the city’s participation in the community’s Main Street Iowa program launched by the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber Executive Director Darrell Sarmento addressed the council about the program. He said a core group of interested parties had been

With Board Chairman Dennis Stevenson acting as auctioneer, the first half of Tuesday’s Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting seemed more like an episode of the television show “Storage Wars,” as bids continued to elevate for the right to rent nearly 280 acres of county-owned cropland.

Board member Joe Brock opened the three sealed bids from Justin Lisk, Mindy Campfield, and Eric Siebrecht as current tenant Todd Terpstra sat in the audience.

As the current tenant, Terpstra had the right to bid without having to submit a sealed bid.

All parties agreed the minimum amount to raise bids was $1 and the bidding started at $327.51 per acre, the amount of Campfield’s sealed bid, and Siebrecht immediately raised it to $330 per acre to start the bidding process.

Lisk, Campfield and Siebrecht all took turns raising their bid, and Lisk backed out once his offer of $345 per acre was surpassed.

When the bids hit $357 per acre, Terpstra asked the board if a recess was possible. The board approved his request, and Terpstra and his associates had a meeting in the hallway outside of the board’s office.

Once the meeting reconvened, Campfield and Siebrecht were the only remaining bidders and combined, the duo submitted more than a dozen additional bids. As the bids rose above $370 per acre, Campfield made a phone call during the meeting.

County to delay vote on creating watershed authority Changes made to rental policy at Jasper County Community Center

meeting weekly for the past six weeks to develop the community’s Main Street Iowa application.

“We also visited two Main Street communities, State Center and Colfax,” he said. “Colfax was really the one that got this whole thing rolling.

A lot of folks were saying, ‘Look at what they were able to do in Colfax.’”

Director of Zoning and Development Erin Chambers had been representing the city in those weekly discussions. Sarmento noted she is currently working to draft the community’s application to Main Street Iowa.

For the moment, Jasper County is taking its time on deciding whether to join the Mud Creek, Camp Creek and Spring Creek Watershed Management Authority.

Mark Land, who was representing the Authority on behalf of his firm Snyder & Associates, presented information to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday as to why the group was created and what its function would be.

“The concept of a watershed management authority … was really driven by all that flooding we saw back in 2008,” Land told the board during Tuesday’s meeting. “It was kind of the legislatures idea, after a lot of input, to kind of say, ‘Well, you can look at a watershed here, which is where the water goes after it hits the land, and it doesn’t fall by jurisdictional boundaries.’”

OPEN to host annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser Thursday

By Bob Eschliman Daily News Editor Three years ago, the OPEN-Newton Board of Directors was brainstorming ideas to generate funds for its projects when board member Jane Johnson had an idea.

“I suggested that we work for it to show the public we are willing to do that to keep going,” she said.

Since its founding in 1990, the Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors promotes strong international ties for Newton.

Those ties are particularly strong between Newton and its sister cities of Smila, Ukraine, and Wu Chi, Taiwan.

Thursday evening, from 5 to 7 p.m., will mark the third time OPEN-Newton will host its spaghetti dinner fundraiser. The event will be held once again at First Lutheran Church in Newton.

Most of the pasta and sauce for the event is donated by Barilla, which has a facility in Ames. In the past, about 100 people usually attend. The bigger goal, however, may have been achieved. “[I]n the last few years, our giving is up — even in tough economic times — so maybe the plan worked,” Johnson said. “We are now able to bring a student every year, which we had not been able to do for a while.”

Tickets for the spaghetti dinner are still available from any board member, or at the door at the rate of $6 for adults and $3 for children younger than 10.

OWLS program Nov. 13 The Jasper County Conservation Board will host an Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors program Wednesday, Nov. 13, at the Jasper County Armory/Annex, 1030 W. Second St. S. in Newton.

The public is invited to come for 10 a.m. coffee and a presentation. Keri Van Zante will discuss the history of wild turkeys in the area, and participants will make a Thanksgiving-themed treat.

The OWLS program is a conservation program that encourages seniors to stay active and learn new things about the natural world.

For more information, contact the Jasper County Conservation Board office at (641) 792-9780.

Family Harvest Festival set for Sunday Project AWAKE will host a Family Harvest Festival from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday at the Newton Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.

The event is open to all families and will feature a nature walk, crafts and refreshments. Freewill donations will be accepted.

The Newton Arboretum is located at 3000 N. Fourth Ave. E.

Paintings on display at library Paintings by Sandy Lenz will be on display at the Newton Public Library during the month of November. The display is sponsored by the Arts Connection Inc. and is free.

A Fantastic shopping event.

Six Pacesetters honored at state solo competition Special to the Daily News On Saturday, Nov. 2, the Newton Senior High School Pacesetters hosted the ISDTA State Solo Competition for the second year in a row.

More than 600 dancers from around the state competed in Saturday’s competition. The Pacesetters competed in the Class V division, which included 96 dancers from more than 20 Iowa high schools.

Council Continued from Page 1A He added the current area being considered for the application is the Downtown Newton SelfSupport Municipal Improvement District. That can be amended at a later date, or as needs warrant, he said.

Fred Chabot, chairman of the Newton Historic Preservation Commission, spoke of his support for the Main Street program. He noted the “important connection” between the commission’s work to get the downtown area on the National Register of Historic Places and the historic preservation aspects of the Main Street program.

“Those ties are so important,” he said. “The Main Street program would be enhanced by a historic preservation district status.”

Bruce Showhalter of the Renew Newton board also lent his support to the initiative.

Later in the meeting, councilors voted 4-2 to approve a $50 registration fee for the city’s new vacant building registry. Councilors Evelyn George and Dennis Julius were the “no” votes on the council.

Julius questioned the need for the fee when it was proposed at the council’s Oct. 21 meeting. He said adding a fee would

A panel of judges evaluated their performances on the basis of appearance, choreography, technique, execution/effect and showmanship.

The judges also placed the top 12 dancers in Class V. Jenefer Tu-

“defeat the purpose of the registry,” and may cause fewer property owners to comply.

“It could cause greater hardship in tracking down these owners,” he said. “I still have concerns about the need for the fee.”

George asked if there was a “grace period” for the registry. Chambers came forward to answer the question, stating a building must be unoccupied for 180 consecutive days to be considered vacant under the current wording of the registry ordinance.

The registry applies to both residential and commercial properties, Chambers added.

Councilor Noreen Otto was outspoken in her support for the fee, noting she owns property that will have to be registered. She said it is becoming less and less common for owners of vacant property to properly keep up with city code.

“It’s a difficult task to track and get in contact with these owners, so there’s a lot of time spent doing that, which the fee would offset,” she said.

“This is a growing trend for cities all over, and the proposed fee is on the low end of those who have it.”

Chabot, who noted he has “skin in the game,” said he supports the registry, as it fills a need, but questioned if the fee was appropriate.

dor was awarded ninth place. This is the first time Jenefer has placed at the ISDTA State Solo competition.

The Pacesetters would like to thank Hy-Vee, Mid-Town Café, Fareway, Subway and Hendrickson’s Greenhouse for helping with this year’s competition. They would also like to thank all of the wonderful volunteers who made the day run smoothly. The Pacesetters are coached by Paige Meredith.

another form of taxation,” he said.

The council also briefly discussed progress in negotiations with adjacent property owners in the Fountain Hills Estates with regard to pre-existing covenants and the city’s plans for developing the area. Mayor Mike Hansen said a resolution of those issues should happen soon.

During the new-business portion of the meeting, Hansen also discussed a recent meeting he and City Administrator Bob Knabel had with Des Moines Partnership officials. He said several recent actions by the council had Newton on the Partnership’s radar, and that he and Knabel received “positive feedback.”

During the old-business portion of the meeting, Julius asked if there had been any new progress in addressing recent downtown business owners’ concerns regarding parking. Knabel said he has visited with Sarmento on the issue and felt discussions would continue through the Chamber of Commerce, which he also felt was an appropriate venue for such discussions.

In other business, the council: • Approved the consent agenda, which included beer, wine and Sunday sales permits for Love’s Travel Stop and the Casey’s General

Store at 1200 W. 18th St. S.; the September 2013 supplement to the Code of Ordinances; assessments for abatement of nuisance violations; inflow and infiltration assistance payments; quotes for prohibited sanitary sewer discharge removal work; awarding a contract for the 2013 Storm Sewer Outlet Repair Project; and paying the monthly bills.

• Approved revisions to the Site Plan Control and Subdivision ordinances to “better reflect current urban planning and engineering practices and standards for good development.” Both were approved, second and third readings were waived, and both were adopted unanimously.

• Approved expansion of the North Central Urban Renewal District to allow for TIF funds to be used for improvements in the courthouse sqaure area.

• Approved revisions to the city’s values statement to include the concept of “respect” and the admonition to “demonstrate compassion and empathy.”

• Approved a request from Iowa Network Services to install a fiber optic telecommunications line from the Jasper County Law Enforcement Center to the 1400 block of Iowa Speedway Drive to provide enhanced voice and data service to the law enforcement center.

Ty’s Take

Fish or cut bait

Berg Adventures

By Lee Hamilton Director, Center on Congress

This past Friday, I was invited to speak to two of Jo Ellen Linn’s English classes at Berg Middle School on being a reporter, the importance of English and language arts in school and why I chose to be a journalist.

This opportunity was afforded to me after one of my random visits to BMS earlier in the school year and I didn’t want to disapBy Ty Rushing point. I spent hours going over my Google Doc Daily News Staff Writer Presentation (similar to PowerPoint), scoured through the thousands of photos I’ve taken since January and really thought about the message I wanted to convey.

After all that prep, I was more than ready and I easily entertained and informed two classes for a little more than two hours.

We had such a great time in fact, we ran out of time during the first class and I didn’t get to answer all of their questions. So I’m going to use this week’s Take to answer a few of those questions.

I’m going to start it off with a few from my buddy Skylar.

As Congress moves forward on budget negotiations, the word out of Washington is to expect nothing major: no grand bargain, just more stopgap, short-term fixes. Yet there’s one ray of hope. The House and Senate chairs of the tax-writing committees, one a Republican, the other a Democrat, are preparing a comprehensive tax reform plan.

They see the budget negotiations as their opportunity to enact much-needed changes to our bloated, off-kilter tax laws.

The last time lawmakers managed to find a way to simplify and reshape the tax code was almost three decades ago, in 1986, when Ronald Reagan was still president. Since then there have been over 15,000 adjustments and amendments, leaving a mess that just about everyone agrees must be cleaned up. Odds are against Congress managing the task, but its handling of the debate on tax reform tells us a lot about how members approach difficult issues.

That’s because this latest effort to rewrite the tax code is saddled by a deep-seated problem that spans both parties and all ideologies: political timidity. Tax avoidance is a highly sophisticated and lucrative business in this country, and politicians address it at their peril.

This became clear during the summer, when the senators leading the tax-reform charge on their side of Capitol Hill, Democrat Max Baucus of Montana and Republican Orrin Hatch of Utah, laid out their initiative. They wanted senators to take a “blank slate” approach to the issue: no current deduction, exemption or credit would continue unless a strong case could be made for it. Then they invited their colleagues to identify what they’d keep and what they’d reject.

That was a fine start, until Baucus and Hatch took an extraordinary step. They guaranteed senators 50 years of anonymity for their suggestions.

In other words, here’s a public issue of enormous consequence, affecting every taxpayer in the land, and they were afraid to talk about it meaningfully in public. Sure, you hear plenty from politicians about tax reform, but it’s all generalities.

They talk about a simpler code or a fairer code or a flatter code, but in truth, almost every member of Congress talks in gross generalities about the monstrosity that is the tax code and comes out fervently for reform, without actually taking a stand on the tough issues.

Tax reform is meaningless without specifics.

Continuing to exclude employer contributions for health care, for instance, will cost taxpayers some $760 billion over the next five years, according to Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation — but getting rid of it will surely anger employers and employees. We could recoup $379 billion over the next five years by cutting the mortgage interest deduction, but how many homeowners do you know who would go along with the idea?

The political power of the interests that benefit from reduced tax rates on dividends and long-term capital gains, which will cost the Treasury $616 billion between now and 2017, is immense. So, in its own way, is that of supporters of the deduction for charitable contributions ($239 billion).

In all, tax breaks cost the Treasury some $1.1 trillion a year — which puts them well ahead of most other forms of federal spending.

Yet each has its own constituency — often a vocal, wellfunded, well-organized one. A “loophole” to one group is usually a “lifeline” to another. So nothing happens.

Everyone knows that tax reform will involve limiting tax breaks. It should be possible to avoid the political difficulties by capping the total without eliminating specific breaks. But even this will require political backbone. Until Congress shows us that its members possess the courage to detail publicly what’s needed, talk of tax reform will be just that: talk.

Newton Daily News Editorial Board Bob Eschliman Editor Kelly Vest Prod./Circulation

Q: Who was your first report about?

A: I believe it was my front-page story about Kids Against Hunger, that ran on Jan. 18.

Q: Have you ever reported about a celebrity?

A: Many times. I met and did a story on Stedman Graham while in junior college, which may have been my first exposure to someone famous.

Since then, I’ve met athletes, politicians, musicians, authors, artists, business moguls and all sorts of well known people through my experiences in college, interning and here at the Daily News.

Skylar had a ton of other questions, but I have several letters so let’s jump around a bit.

Q: Who is the coolest person you have ever met/covered?

A: This is pretty tough and there’s no way you can narrow it down to one person. I mean my friend, jazz singer Lisa Engelken is a pretty cool customer (thanks for the new album). Some members of the governing boards I cover are pretty cool, I must say.

There’s the county official with great taste in hats, a certain school board member who drives a scooter and makes it look cool, and so many of our local politicians wear their hearts on their sleeves, which I think is pretty cool.

I really can’t narrow it down to one person and a lot of people are cool in their own way in my opinon.

This next question comes from Mariah.

Q: What is it like reporting on important situations?

A: This is going to sound make me sound like such a journalism nerd, but I get a rush from those important situations. Like when I sat-in on a special school board meeting where they chose the next superintendent, I got a rush.

Jeff Holschuh Ad Director Brenda Lamb Business Mgr.

Opinions expressed in letters and columns are those of the writers and do not represent the views of the Newton Daily News.

When I witness six qualified candidates each tell a room full of Newtonians why they should be the next person elected to the Newton Community School District’s Board of Education, I got a rush.

When I’m at this big education related “shindig” sitting with members of the press from all around Iowa, just for the governor to specially mention a school in Jasper County, I get a rush.

I love this industry and this job. I get more excited when a heavily debated measure gets passed or a big debate takes place than I do for going to cover an accident or a fire. For me, reporting on important matters is like the Super Bowl for an NFL player.

My next set of questions comes from Remy, but since they are all short, I’ll combine them.

Q: Ty, how is your day, do you have kids, do you have a car, and did you like school?

A: My day is pretty fantastic, no kids (too cheap for that), yes, I am on my third car in my lifetime and I loved school!

I absolutely love this next question from Brittany.

Q: Are you doing newspaper for the money or just because you wanted to?

A: I’m so glad you asked this because there is no way any of us in this industry do this for the money. Journalism is a passion project. It has to be something you really love and want to do for a long time. People that get in this industry to make money or are expecting to make money have the wrong motivations and are better suited doing something else.

This next question comes from Ashley.

Q: What was your first job?

A: My first job was being an all around lackey for my mom’s gift basket business. I would deliver baskets, load them in the car, carry her supplies and what other tasks she had for me. I rarely got paid and as my mom so often reminded me: “I paid you with those clothes on your back and toys in your room.”

This last person didn’t put his or her name on their questions.

Q: What is your favorite thing about your job?

A: The people. Talking to people, meeting people, interviewing people, making connections with people and telling their stories, it all stems from the people you meet. I’ve had the pleasure to meet a veteran of every major U.S. offensive from WWII to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

I’ve met a widow who lost her husband during 9/11. I met my office hours buddy Bob, I’ve got to meet wonderful educators, elected officials, business owners, retirees, artists, musicians, students, families, farmers, directors, and everyone under the sun.

People are why I got into this business and why I plan to stay in it for a long, long, time.

Once again, thanks to Jo Ellen and Berg for having me. If any other school, group or organization wants me or another staff member to speak, feel free to contact us.

Election Continued from Page 1A According to the unofficial votes, Kevin Parsons and Bill Perrenoud each received four votes. A scattering of 11 write-in votes were also cast, and 10 “under votes” — where no candidate was marked — were recorded.

According to Iowa Code, ties are broken by casting lots, effectively drawing names from a hat. That will be done when the election is canvassed next Tuesday.

If a write-in winner should decide he or she does not wish to run, he or she can submit a “letter of declination” to his or her city clerk on or before Nov. 22. At that point, the next closest vote-getter would be offered the position.

If no other write-ins accept the position, a vacancy will declared and the respective city council will have to make an appointment. Voters may then petition for a special election if they disagree with the appointment.

Six candidates were each vying for one of Lambs Grove’s five seats on its city council. The top vote-getters were Cindy Humke and Kevin Parsons with 26 and 25 votes, respectively.

The other seats went to Kent DeGoey, who had 23 votes; Thomas Clark, who had 22 votes; and Steve Thomassen, who had 21 votes. David Raymond received 15 votes.

One additional write-in vote was cast; 12 “under votes” were recorded.

Overall turnout was about 11 percent in Jasper County’s municipalities.

Baxter In Baxter, Stephen C. Smith was re-elected mayor with 96 votes (64 percent).

He was the only candidate on the ballot, but faced a write-in challenge from Pat Milligan, who received 48 votes.

Three city council seats up for election were filled by Daniel Kunkel (127 votes), Matthew Wormley (109) and Bryan DeJong (103), all of whom appeared on the ballot. Sixty-six write-in votes were cast, of which 32 went to Mary Jo West, 13 to Joe Engel and 11 to Steve Fredrickson.

Public Measure “A” — a new Revenue Purpose Statement for the city’s localoption sales tax revenue — passed by a 74- to 26-percent margin. The new RPS will allow sales tax funds to be used for street maintenance and other improvements in the community.

Colfax In Colfax, voters re-elected incumbents Brad Magg and Karla Jones. Magg defeated challenger Kevin Lewis, 205108, for the city’s at-large council seat. Jones edged out challenger Marvin Rorabaugh by a 92-66 margin in the Ward 2 race.

Kellogg In Kellogg, Scott VanWaardhuizen defeated Scott Keenan by four votes, 63-59, in the mayoral race. The ballot there also featured a six-way race for three council seats, in which Sheri Leavens was the top vote-getter with 89.

Jeffrey Parsons received 69 votes and Brenda Aldrich received 68 to capture the other two available seats. Adam Gannaway was the next highest vote-getter with 53. Calvin Dhondt and Nathan Bills received 42 and 29 votes, respectively. There were three write-in votes and 22 “under votes” recorded.

Supervisors Continued from Page 1A Land also assured to the board that there was no cost to join, the Authority would be beneficial in researching water quality and flooding issues in the affected areas, and the Authority would “actually have no real authority.” “(The Iowa Legislature) felt it would make more sense to bring all the jurisdictions together and to try and look at these issues and hopefully solve them, versus just each jurisdiction trying to spend their own money trying to solve this flooding problem and that flooding problem,” Land said.

The board asked Land to come back on Nov. 19, so that in the meantime, they could have County Attorney Mike Jacobsen and Jasper County Conservation Director Keri Van Zante review the 28E agreement and before making a decision to join or not.

“That’s another thing I didn’t mention. There has already been two (governing boards) that approved it,” Land said. “So it’s going to happen, so, if you chose not to do it, you’re still in the watershed, that doesn’t stop.

Somebody else is going to go, ‘Well, here is what were going to do in the Camp Creek Watershed.’”

“Your ability to participate in that discussion isn’t as strong if you’re not a part of the discussion. So, a whole

Lynnville Kelly Bryan was elected mayor of Lynnville with 36 votes (88 percent) compared to a scattering of five write-in votes. Kevin Arment received 39 votes, while Roy James and Bev VanMaanen each received 27 votes, respectively, for the city’s three at-large council seats up for election.

There was a scattering of four write-in votes for the council race. Six “under votes” also were recorded.

Mingo Mingo voters faced an empty ballot and wrote in their choices for mayor and three city council seats.

Mayor Gary Bartles was retained with 27 votes (90.00 percent). Bob Perry led the council write-ins at 26, John Oberhart came in at 23 and Melanie Pleggenkulhe got 21 votes.

Monroe The Monroe ballot featured a hotly contested mayoral race, which was won by a margin of five votes out of nearly 400 votes cast. Brian Briles edged out Doug Duinink, 199-194.

There was one write-in vote, and four “under votes” were recorded in the race.

Nathaniel Bradbury received 149 votes and Gregory Fagg received 120. There was a scattering of 99 write-in votes; 94 “under votes were recorded, as well.

Oakland Acres Lennie Smith was unopposed on the ballot for mayor of Oakland Acres and won the

election with 11 votes. Roger Fisher and Doug Weaver were both unopposed for two city council seats, as well, receiving 10 and 13 votes, respectively.

Three write-in votes were cast in each of the elections.

Two “under votes” were recorded in the city council race.

Prairie City In Prairie City, all four positions on the ballot were filled by newcomers to city government.

Chad Alleger stepped forward as an announced writein candidate for mayor when no one filed nomination papers at the deadline. He won last night with 139 of 195 write-in votes cast.

Glenn Gillespie received 10 votes. The remaining 46 votes were spread across a scattering of candidates.

There were 55 “under votes” recorded.

In the four-way race for the city’s three available city council seats, incumbent Larry Ross finished in fourth place with 124 votes. Dan Downey received 204 votes, Andrea Engel received 202 and Lyle Burkett received 137 votes.

Twelve write-in votes were cast in the council race. There were 71 “under votes” recorded, as well.

Reasnor In Reasnor, Cliff Vos launched a successful write-in campaign over Brenda Beaver, whose name appeared on the ballot. Vos received 17 votes to Beaver’s 11. Dale James received six write-in votes; there were four “under votes,” as well.

Pat Woody’s write-in campaign for city council also was successful. Woody received 15 votes, edging out Kasie Beaver, who also appeared on the

Changes made to rental policy of Jasper County Community Center include no longer allowing alcohol to be served within the facility. bunch of people are talking about your watershed around a table, and it might be good to get your two-cents worth,” he continued. “It’s no more of an obligation than just saying what you think.”

A trio made-up of county employees’ and one county official presented a matter to the board concerning the use of the Jasper County Community Center located at 2401 First Ave. E. in Newton.

“We have been renting the ( JCCC) in Newton since about 2006, and the board, at that time, set a policy on various issues, and each time someone rents that facility, they get a copy of those issues,” Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott said.

Parrot, along with Jasper County Maintenance Director Adam Sparks and Jasper County Elderly Nutrition Director Kelli Van Manen, said the “issue” documents they dispense contain information on the rental policy of the facility. This includes the cost to rent, requirements of the renter and a myriad of other things.

“From time-to-time, we’ve come to the board to ask them to adjust that policy,” Parrott said. “We have had in recent times … where we’ve had more clean-up, things missing, messing

with faucets and different things like that. We’ve kind of come to the conclusion, that it seems to be at events where alcohol is available.”

To solve this issue, the trio proposed some major changes to the board on the facility’s rental policy.

The first was alcohol could no longer be served within the facility. Week day rentals would only take place after 4:30 p.m. and the rental fee for Saturday or Sunday rentals would be $100, no matter if it’s a full or half day rental.

The other major initiative was to ensure the $250 deposit fee would not be returned if the facility is not left in the condition it was rented in. They also asked to create a “No-Rent” list to tenants who don’t follow the protocols.

The board approved the trios request and commented on the decision before the vote took place.

“I think it’s been coming for a long time. I think we should approve these suggestions,” board member Joe Brock said.

“That’s a nice facility, and I think $100 to rent it is quite reasonable for a whole day,” board member Dennis Carpenter said.

“They have other venues and other

ballot, by a single vote. Marcy Simbro-Woodhouse received 23 votes, while Kellie Kramer got 18.

A scattering of 22 writein votes were cast for other council candidates. There were 22 “under votes” recorded, as well.

Sully Another write-in campaign bid in Sully was nearly successful. Gordon Yarrington, who appeared alone on the ballot, edged out Brent Vander Molen by a single vote, 127-126. One additional write-in vote was cast, and two “under votes” were recorded.

Six write-in candidates received votes for the city’s three city council seats up for election. Bret Van Soelen received 167 votes, followed

by Diane Vos (125) and Wes VanWyk (85).

Others receiving votes were Darrin Morvant (62), Melinda Hardin (43) and Vander Molen (26). A scattering of 47 other write-in votes were cast. Eighty-seven “under votes” were recorded, as well.

Valeria In Valeria, Zachary Lee was unopposed in his bid to be elected mayor. He received all 15 votes cast in that race.

Balloted candidates Shane Craft (13), Hunter Lee (12), Cerri Oldsen (11) and Kathie Warrick (12) each won city council seats.

Among the 13 write-in votes cast were six for Tina Rivers, who edged out Phillips Rees, who was on the ballot, and Curt Warrick. Both received four votes. Kathy Oldsen received three writein votes.

options also if they are not happy with the suggestions,” board chair Dennis Stevenson said.

The new rules would not affect renters who already have a contract with the county for the facility’s use.

In other business: • Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop’s request to suspend the taxes and special assessments for several citizens was approved. Stevenson commented that this was an annual measure and in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Human and Health Services.

• Sheriff John Halferty received approval to have Joel Wilkerson become a reserve deputy. The measure was not on the agenda, but was amended into the agenda by the board.

• The board approved a bid for a new roof for the Jasper County Law Enforcement Center. Both Halferty and Sparks spoke on how bad the conditions for the current roof are.

• What Cheer-based TCR Roofing won the bid and with additional work, Stevenson estimated the project would cost between $143,000 and $147,000 in total.

• Sparks also received approval to purchase an evacuation chair for the courthouse. The chair costs $1,795 and would be used to assist a disabled person in case of emergency to escape the courthouse.

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Daughter’s absentee father is present for his other kids DEAR ABBY: For 2 1/2 years I have taken care of my daughter without the help of her father. He pays child support only when the courts threaten to throw him in jail, but he never comes to see her.

When he does come by, it’s not to see or spend time with her, it’s to try and get sex from me. Sometimes I give in and give it to him as an itch to scratch.

He recently got “married” and now has four other children. The last time he was over, I noticed that he has all his children’s initials tattooed on his arm except our daughter’s, and it bothered me.

I only want what is best for my little girl, and I have made it clear that if he isn’t a part of her life now, that he needs to stay away until she’s an adult. I don’t want her to be hurt by a part-time or sometimes dad. I guess my question is, is it OK to be angry that he doesn’t recognize her as his child but does his other four? — PO’D IN OHIO DEAR PO’D: Oh, goodness gracious, yes. And because you don’t want your child to be hurt by this man, I’m advising you to quit being his booty call. There are other ways to scratch an itch, depending upon whose itch it is. If you continue seeing him under these circumstances, you could wind up being the mother of another one of his children, God forbid.

DEAR ABBY: I am writing this hoping that anyone who is in a supervisory position at work will see it and think before pressuring employees to buy popcorn, cookies, wrapping paper, trinkets, chocolate bars, etc., for their children’s schools or organizations. This is extortion. I have tried saying, “No, thank you,” but I get such a bad attitude from my supervisor that I end up ordering something — usually the cheapest item — to avoid the drama.

I can’t afford to drop $20 here and there on items I wouldn’t otherwise buy or eat. It’s a lot of money to employees who haven’t had wage or benefit increases in more than four years. I can barely keep my car filled with gas and have to unroll coins sometimes to pick up food for dinner a day or two before payday.

PLEASE tell bosses and managers not to solicit sales from employees. It’s tacky! — TURNED OFF IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR TURNED OFF: I’m happy to get the word out because I agree that the sales tactic your supervisor is using is tacky. Parents who do this for their children deny the kids the experience of doing the selling and learning to cope with rejection if prospective customers don’t buy.

Because you don’t have $20 to spare, you might be able to deflect the “attitude” by offering a small donation — a dollar or two — to the cause. But if you can’t spare any money, then stiffen your spine and don’t let yourself be made to feel guilty.

Buying things you don’t need is not part of your job description.

DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law wrote the following to my husband in a birthday card: “I couldn’t find a card that really fit you. None of them said ‘sweet, kind, sexy, lovable, friendly, intelligent, or one of the best brothers-in-law ever,’ so I’m telling you in my own words. If I could get ahold of my husband’s money, I’d send you on a cruise.”

Was this appropriate? I don’t think so.

My husband says she didn’t mean anything. Help? — SHOCKED IN TENNESSEE DEAR SHOCKED: Speaking of cruises, throw your sister-in-law a lifesaver, because I think she went overboard.

Awards Continued from Page 1A Deputy Burdess was the first responding officer, and he found a semitrailer mostly submerged in the bloated creek.

After Officers Herman and Bartello responded to the scene, the three surveyed the area, and Officer Bartello said that he had a tool available he could use to break through the windshield and search for the driver.

“My decision to get in was easy,” Officer Bartello said. “The two other guys were already in the water, and we had to do something.”

Bartello swam under water to find that the windshield of the vehicle had already been broken. Slipping into the cab of the truck he found the driver, 70-year-old Dwayne Michael, conscious and staying in a small air pocket at the top of the cab.

After communicating with the driver, Officer Bartello was able to convince him to swim back through the windshield and to the surface, where

he received treatment from Deputy Burdess, Officer Herman and members of the Colfax Fire Department.

“Recognition like this makes our job worthwhile,” Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said as he expressed pride in his fellow county officers.

“It’s an honor to work with those three and everyone else,” said Halferty. “The guys in the water, they were able to work well together … This is a great highlight of what we do.”

Branstad and Reynolds both delivered speeches, praising all 11 recipients of the award for their heroics over the last year.

“These selfless upstanding citizens of the state of Iowa were willing to sacrifice to save the lives of other Iowans,” Branstad said. “To them we are extremely grateful.”

The conditions for the award are that the situation was extremely hazardous, a strong possibility existed at the time that the officer or firefighter could have suffered serious injury or death, the act was not foolhardy or ill-advised but well thought out, and that the recipient did not use poor judgment.

Club Notes

How do I show grace to mean people?

“I just think about beating them to the ground, but then I just ignore them,” says Ben, age 11.

You’re refreshingly honest, Ben. There are times when we’re tempted to flatten mean people. In our Kids Talk day, you can About God hire an attorney to do By Carey Kinsolving Creators Syndicate the flattening. There’s a line in Scripture that says, “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men” (Romans 12:18).

Showing grace to mean people doesn’t always mean ignoring someone or backing down, says John, 9: “The other day, my sister pushed me off my bike. So I told her to stop, and she did.”

My natural tendency is to avoid conflict. It’s easier. Much wisdom is needed to know when to confront and when to walk away.

“Being mean seems like a way to get respect,” says Kerri, 10.

Apart from God’s grace, we build our little fortresses of meanness around wounds we’ve suffered. We’ll hurt others before we let ourselves get hurt again.

“You kind of feel sorry for mean people because nobody

wants to be their friend,” says Taylor, 10.

Yes, your own peace of mind will increase if you can receive God’s grace to look at mean people with compassion, Taylor.

Often, they are living in isolation behind walls they’ve erected to protect themselves from the emotional wounds they’ve suffered.

“God showed grace to everyone, even if they were as mean as a snake,” says Megan, 11.

Understanding that God loves everyone the same is the key to showing grace to a mean, defensive person. Experiencing God’s love brings us into a larger place where we can live beyond our natural tendency to return evil for evil.

If Jesus had returned evil for evil, he never would have been crucified. Legions of angels were waiting for orders. Instead of a command to attack, the angels heard a prayer: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”

“Jesus still loved them, and he forgave them,” says Mary, 11.

“We should forgive those who trespass against us. Sound familiar?”

Yes, it does. In what has become known as the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught his disciples to pray, “Forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us” (Matthew 6:12 NLT).

Jesus’ death and resurrection secured eternal life for all who have trusted him as their savior.

However, walking in harmony with God requires that we confess our sins to God and extend the same forgiveness to others that we have received.

Receiving God’s forgiveness is not only the foundation for forgiving mean people, but it’s also the basis for returning good for evil. Christians have been forgiven a much larger debt than anyone will ever owe them.

“Even if people are not nice to you, you should still show grace to them because that’s what Jesus would do,” says Jessica, 11.

You’re probably thinking about W.W.J.D. (What Would Jesus Do?).

Try W.I.J.D. (What Is Jesus Doing?). When Jesus returned to heaven, he sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in and empower his people. Every Christian who truly follows Christ lives by the same Spirit that empowered Jesus when he walked on the Earth.

Think about this: It’s easy to show kindness to the kind, but only God’s grace can prompt you to return good for evil.

Memorize this truth: “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).

Ask this question: What is Jesus doing through you to show his grace to mean people?

Daily News Seniors have strong finale for Hawks

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks had their 2013 football season halted Monday in the second round of the Iowa Class A playoffs. They lost 35-7 to BGM’s Bears (11-0) in Brooklyn.

Senior Daniel Zimmerman led the rushing attack for the Hawks in Monday’s game. Zimmerman gained 52 yards on 14 carries. Senior Bailee Samson had 30 yards on six carries and senior Caden Doll finished with 17 yards on 16 carries.

Sophomore quarterback Sage Ehresman went 8-of-19 passing for 43 yards, throwing a nine-yard touchdown pass to Doll and three interceptions. Senior tight end Darin Hofer completed one pass for 10 yards plus caught two passes for 10 yards.

Brandon Dunsbergen, senior wide receiver, made one reception for 10 yards. Samson caught four passes for 17 yards and Doll had two catches for 16 yards.

Senior linebackers Payton Scandridge and Doll each recorded six tackles. Junior Blake Wehrle had five tackles while Hofer made four. Zimmerman, senior T.J. Cunningham and senior Kyle Hamilton each had three tackles.

Samson and Scandridge each recovered a fumble for the Hawks. Sophomore Noah Engle punted twice for a total of 70 yards.

The Hawks finished 6-5 after losing their first four games of the season.

Monday’s game was the final one for 13 Lynnville-Sully seniors. They were Meliek Meyer, Cunningham, B. Dunsbergen, Zimmerman, Doll, Samson, Zack Kaldenberg, Scandridge, Thane Redding, Hamilton, Lucas Rozendaal, Hofer and Payton Haack. Haack missed the entire season because of a knee injury suffered over the summer.

“Payton was a big part of this team. It was tough for him not being out on the field this season. He is a hardworking young man, who had been a part of our team from the beginning,” said Hawk head coach Mike Parkinson.

Haack was on the sideline in a wheelchair because of the surgery on his knee.

Expectations high for experienced Hawkeyes

Van Genderen takes Desert Classic checkers at Canyon Speedway Park Special to the Daily News PEORIA, Ariz. — After making his first visit to Canyon Speedway Park, Mike Van Genderen is probably already looking forward to his second.

Van Genderen made the most of the 1,500 mile trek from Newton, Iowa, by taking the $5,000 winner’s share in Saturday night ’s 40-lap IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified main event that put the wraps on the 25th annual Desert Classic special at Canyon Speedway Park.

The payday was Van Genderen’s biggest in the open-wheeled division and put him on the ballot for the 2014 Fast Shafts AllStar Invitational. He raced from his front row outside starting position and led every circuit before taking the checkered flag.

Cautions slowed the early going, but the last half of the feature stayed green. Van Genderen used the top line and led by a straightaway much of the distance before getting slowed by heavy lapped traffic in the late going.

While negotiating that traffic on the final circuit, Van Genderen sent sparks flying as he got into the front stretch wall at the flag stand.

That gave the 16th starting Dustin Boney the opportunity to close, and he was on Van Genderen’s back bumper before the leader

pulled away heading down the final straight.

Boney had to settle for second while another Show Me stater, Jeremy Payne, captured the show position. Track champion Jason Noll and Tim Ward rounded out the top five.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — It’s easy to forget that Iowa used to be viewed as a perennial Big Ten contender and a team to watch in the NCAA tournament.

Those lofty expectations are back.

The program’s long fall from the halcyon days under coach Tom Davis looks to be over.

After two trips to the NIT that culminated in a run to the title game a year ago, the Hawkeyes are expected to finish high in the Big Ten and earn their first NCAA tournament trip in eight years.

Iowa could also open the season ranked for the first time 2006, when it won the conference tournament and finished unbeaten at CarverHawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes (25-13 in 2012-13) begin their most anticipated season HAWKEYES See Page 2B

Hopes high at ISU despite changing roster AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State lost four of its top six scorers from last season and was still picked to finish fourth in the Big 12.

It looks like the rest of the league is through doubting Fred Hoiberg and the Cyclones.

Despite yet another major overhaul of its roster, Iowa State is expected to compete for its third straight NCAA tournament berth in 2013-14.

The Cyclones bring back senior forward Melvin Ejim, a preseason first-team All-Big 12 selection, and emerging sophomore Georges Niang. Transfer DeAndre Kane will take over at point guard after averaging 15 points a game last season at Marshall, and guards Monte Morris and Matt Thomas should contribute immediately as freshmen.

Though being slotted fourth in the preseason Big 12 poll doesn’t sound terribly lofty, it’s actually the highest Iowa State has been picked in 13 years.

“I think our guys feel a little bit of respect with being picked in the top half of our league. Will we CYCLONES See Page 2B

Hawkeyes: Four starters return for 2013-14 season Continued from Page 1B in years on Nov. 8 against UNC-Wilmington.

“Clearly you want to be in a position where everybody thinks you’re going to be good,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “We are excited that people think enough of our team to rank us in the Top 25 and project us to be in the NCAA tournament. That’s exciting.

It’s an accomplishment for some of the guys who have been here and haven’t had that before. But the reality is now we have to go out and do it.”

The Hawkeyes return four starters, led by senior guard Devyn Marble and junior forward Aaron White, and a host of veteran reserves with significant Big Ten experience.

Iowa will also add Wisconsin transfer Jarrod Uthoff and freshman guard Peter Jok to its rotation, and McCaffery believes both could have significant roles.

“I’m trying to figure out who can play together, who makes sense together, and I guess at this point what I’ve concluded is we have a lot of good players, and they’re all going to play,” McCaffery said.

Here are five things to watch for the Hawkeyes this season: MARBLE ON POINT: The Hawkeyes will run their offense through Marble, who averaged a team-high 15 points and three assists per game last season. Marble is the most experienced guard on the roster, and the move to the point is based largely on the fact that he’s at his best with the ball in his hands.

“I want him to think like a point guard, and to me that means you engineer victory, at home, on the road, late game,” McCaffery said.

Sophomore Mike Gesell will back up Marble, though both could share the floor as well.

THEY’RE GOING TO JARROD: Uthoff is a 6-foot-9 forward who can play multiple positions.

Though he’s never played a minute in college, Iowa believes Uthoff can be useful from inside the paint and on the perimeter because of his blend of size and ball-handling skills. If the Hawkeyes can find room for Uthoff, White and 7-foot-1 Adam Woodbury in the same lineup, they’ll be dangerous on the blocks.

NO BRICKS: One issue that plagued the Hawkeyes in 2012-13 was outside shooting.

Iowa shot just 30.5 percent from 3-point range, and reserve Josh Oglesby hit only 42 3s in 156 attempts. But McCaffery is hoping that the addition of Jok and the law of averages helps Iowa improve their perimeter shooting.

“Last year wasn’t a year to remember for myself,” Oglesby said. “I look at it as motivation for this year to try and prove people wrong.”

CENTER OF IT ALL: Woodbury struggled to live up to the hype surrounding his arrival as a freshman, averaging 4.9 points and 4.8 rebounds a game. But the Hawkeyes still expect big things out of the Sioux City native, who along with backup Gabe Olaseni could give Iowa one of the top center duos in the country.

“He’s hungry. He’s in phenomenal shape. He has been incredibly consistent, and I’m just thrilled with his development,” McCaffery said of Woodbury.

TOUGHER SCHEDULE: Iowa’s chances for an at-large NCAA tournament bid were hurt significantly last season by its nonconference schedule.

The Hawkeyes made sure to schedule tougher this winter, with Notre Dame, Xavier and possible matchups against Tennessee and Kansas on the slate. Iowa also faces Iowa State on the road and Drake in Des Moines.

Cyclones: Pressure on juco transfers to help out early Continued from Page 1B live up to that? I don’t know yet.

Hopefully, we’ll continue to evolve and come together,” Hoiberg said.

The Cyclones do have plenty of questions to answer, though — and very little time to do so.

They’ll be counting on unproven junior college transfer Daniel Edozie for depth behind center Percy Gibson and fellow juco transfer K.J. Bluford for scoring off the bench.

It’s also unclear what the Cyclones have in sophomore guards Naz Long and Sherron Dorsey-Walker.

“I’m still trying to figure out what exactly we are as a group.

What will our identity be? Just because we have so many new people on this roster, so many Hoiberg new faces. But I like what I’ve seen,” Hoiberg said.

Iowa State’s non-conference schedule is its toughest in recent memory.

The Cyclones host national runnerup Michigan on Nov. 17 and face BYU, Auburn, Northern Iowa, Iowa and George Mason before Christmas.

Here are five keys for Iowa State as it looks for another trip to the NCAA tournament.

MEL’S TEAM: Ejim was an allpurpose weapon for Iowa State a year ago, averaging 11.3 points and a league-high 9.3 rebounds. But he’s Iowa State’s best returning player, and as such his role should expand on both ends of the floor.

“He’s really added to his game.

Shooting the heck out of the ball right now and making plays off the

dribble,” Hoiberg said.

GEORGES TIME: Though Niang was left off the preseason AllBig 12 team, he could easily wind up as one of the league’s best players.

The 6-foot-7 Niang scored in double figures in 10 of Iowa State’s last 12 games and had 19 points in a rout of Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament. Niang can score from everywhere on the floor — shooting 51.5 percent overall and 39.2 percent on 3s a year ago — and is now in much better shape, according to Hoiberg.

BACKCOURT JUMBLE: Kane will likely play at least 30 minutes a game. But the rest of the playing time for the guards is up in the air.

Morris will likely start out as the backup point guard and Thomas could end up as the starter at shooting guard. But Long, Dorsey-Walker and Bluford will also be in the mix as Iowa State looks to replace Korie Lucious, Chris Babb and Tyrus McGee. “I feel like it’s going to be very competitive,” Bluford said.

LOOKING FOR 3s: Iowa State led the nation with 9.9 made 3s a game last season, but the majority of the players that made them have moved on.

Still, the Cyclones should be a threat from 20 feet out with the likes of Bluford, who had 113 3s last season in junior college, and the sharpshooting Thomas. He was considered one of the best prep shooters in the country last season.

THE NEXT EJIM: Iowa State will lose Ejim after the season, but his replacement is already on campus.

Northern Illinois transfer Abdel Nader can practice with the Cyclones, but he won’t be eligible until next season. Nader, a 6-foot-6 forward, averaged 13.1 points and 5.6 rebounds a game for the Huskies last season.

Imperfect Chiefs carry perfect record into bye KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — As much as Alex Smith tries to avoid it, the veteran quarterback can’t help but hear what outsiders are saying about his Kansas City Chiefs.

That they’re the worst team to ever start 9-0. That their offense is sluggish at best, sloppy at worst.

That their defense can’t possibly carry them forever. That they make far too many errors to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Here’s the problem with that logic: Even if everything had gone perfectly, Smith observed, the Chiefs would have the exact same record as they head into their bye week.

“I feel like, what are we really talking about?” he said. “There’s a system in

place in the NFL to find out who’s the best, and it’s a 16-game season and then the playoffs. To speculate right now who’s the best and who’s not — they don’t give any trophies out after nine weeks.

“All the talk of any of that is just talk,” Smith added. “It’s pointless in my mind.

It’s set up to find out who’s the best, and that’s our focus.”

Well, their focus right now is on getting some rest on their week off.

The Chiefs met to review video of Sunday’s 23-13 win over Buffalo on Monday before scattering for some down time. The coaches plan to begin preparation for a high-profile showdown with AFC West rival Denver the following week.

The Chiefs visit the Broncos (7-1) on Nov. 17, a game that has been moved to prime time.

The place to start with that might just be the offense, which was outscored 14-9 by the Chiefs’ opportunistic defense on Sunday. The Chiefs managed three field goals against the Bills while taking advantage of a 100-yard interception return and a fumble return touchdown.

In all, the Chiefs were out-gained 470-210 by the Bills.

“The main thing I think is getting the ball in the end zone,” Smith said.

“That’s our job. We had some times there where we were moving the ball, we got in the red zone and just stalled out. We have to find a way to get in

the end zone.”

The Chiefs have only scored 16 offensive touchdowns this season, and they ranked 29th in the league in passing at less than 200 yards per game.

But those short-comings have been assuaged by a defense that already has scored six touchdowns, the most for the Chiefs in a season since 1999.

It’s not just touchdowns off turnovers, though. It’s sheer quantity of turnovers.

“We definitely work hard,” said cornerback Sean Smith, who had the pick-six against the Bills. “We try to make the plays when they’re available.

Sometimes you have to improvise.

But all that together makes us a pretty special defense.”

Astrograph Wednesday, November 6, 2013

The Sagittarius moon has a restless spirit and loves to push the action along at a brisk pace, getting to the meat of things and cutting to the next source of excitement. It’s no way to live every day, but you may find that you pack so much adventure into a short time period that the rushed feeling is a relatively small price to pay.

who are always growing and striving to understand more.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 6). Your emotional life will brim with fresh feelings, and you’ll be inspired to create something beautiful in the world that wasn’t there before. Rest up at the end of the year. You’ll need strength to fully take advantage of the January opportunity to work hard and earn much. May and September bring more of the same. Pisces and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 40, 22 and 48.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Peek into your dreams of the past week because they have something to teach you. Sure, some of them were weird and hard to understand, but you’ll have a pretty good idea as to the meaning.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your appetite is not insatiable; you’ll be quite satisfied, indeed. But that part doesn’t last. This is the way it is with people like you

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You will feel a driving need to take stock of what you own and have achieved. You may also do a personal inventory of your good and bad qualities. Be kind to yourself during this process.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Make a list before you get into action. This practice is the key to your success. The list allows you to expend less mental energy.

You’ll rely on the order you established and in the end have brainpower to spare.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The old saying goes that “you can’t take it with you,” but people still like

to think they own their possessions for as long as they can grasp them. They’ll be touchy about that today, so be careful about crossing territorial lines.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The world was here before you and has plenty to teach you. You’ll be drawn to matters of history, and you’ll find a way to frame the present that will look good in retrospect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s always a cause and an effect. The ones who don’t create the cause are not entitled to the effect.

Your role today is to remind people not to be so spoiled.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The day brings a situation in which it will be better to take action than not. You won’t feel that you’re informed enough. You won’t feel that you’re ready. But the time to act is within 24 hours.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You try to apply the right remedy to every less

than optimal situation you encounter: truth to slander, freshness to toxicity, vitality to lethargy. You’ll be successful in this game.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

The excitement is palpable.

The opportunity that’s coming to you is what you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

All of what you want is wrapped up in this; it’s like a burrito of your hopes and wishes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Some people are never so creative as when they get caught doing what they ought not to be doing. You use creativity proactively, and that’s part of why you are not even tempted to stray from your path.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Stay alert. What’s beautiful in the world won’t linger, waiting to be adored. It will fly by and only be appreciated by those who are observant and quick enough to catch it.
