Downtown merchant open house this weekend

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Community School District board of education members Donna Cook, left, and Ann Leonard, listen during Monday’s regular meeting. Cook challenged board president Sheri Benson in a lengthy discussion about whether the board should revisit when to begin reconfiguration.

NCSD board member challenges president on reconfiguration start date

Newton Schools bond election moved back to September

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News After the Newton Community School District Board of Education voted at Monday’s meeting to postpone its bond election to September of next year, there was still other business to discuss.

At least one board member wanted to discuss whether the start date of planned reconfiguration should happen at the beginning of the 2016-17 school year.

Donna Cook, the longest-tenured board member, used the “new business” portion of the meeting

to address the reconfiguration date. Cook said she feels new information has come to light in the past few weeks that should give the board reason enough to at least put the postponement of reconfiguration on the agenda of an upcoming meeting.

Board president Sheri Benson said not only has the board contemplated reconfiguration topics and issues for the past 18 months but also has voted to reconfigure in 2016-17. According to Robert’s Rules of Order, only board members who voted in favor of the motion on May 13 can bring

Culver’s to offer free Thanksgiving dinner meal

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After a successful first year, the Newton Culver’s will once again provide a free Thanksgiving dinner and entertainment for the community.

From noon to 3 p.m. on Thanksgiving, guests are invited to attend, eat and relax in the casual setting and enjoy a full meal including turkey and pie. Culver’s is the only free meal available in Newton for the Thanksgiving holiday.

“I didn’t know what to expect last year. We had never done anything like it before. We had a ton of people here, and it was really great,” said owner Mandy Herbig. “It went really well last year — surprising well.”

As with last year, the restaurant will be closed for normal business to serve a complete dinner including turkey, side dishes and dessert.

A big-screen TV will be in the dining room where people can view the NFL football games while they are enjoying their meals. Additional entertainment including local kids playing instruments is also planned.

Culver’s is once again planning to partner with local organizations, The Salvation Army and the United Way of Jasper County, to put on the free meal.

Last year, the Salvation Army prepared the turkeys and the United way helped take in donated desserts.

it back for another vote.

The board’s decision to postpone its bond election, information from a presentation by BasicLeigh Communications about the complications of reconfiguring, and a workshop with a consultant that took place prior to the Oct. 26 meeting all brought new information to light, Cook said.

“To simply push through just because a decision’s been made — that doesn’t fly for me,” Cook said. “I’d requested at the last meeting (Oct. 26) that it be on the agenda tonight. We’ve seen recently that the board is not all oars in the water, rowing the same direction. How can we sell a bond to the public, if we don’t all buy it ourselves?”

Callaghan details work needed on parking surface Local contractors to be considered for repaving former Hy-Vee West lot

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Newton Community School District wasn’t the one to pave paradise, but it’s going to have to put up a parking lot.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan made a progress report at Monday’s NCSD board meeting about the remodeling of the new administration building on First Avenue West. W ​ hile progress on the main building appears to be on schedule and is getting done ahead of winter weather, it appears the parking lot will require more work than initially anticipated.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan said progress on the $2.32 million remodel of the main building is coming along well, especially in framing interior walls, but the parking lot will likely go out for a separate new bid.

“Because the bids for the main work came in about $80,000 less than

we expected, the combination of the cost of the lot and a credit (for repairs to it) would be a wash,” Callaghan said.

“We’ve discussed this, and we feel the best thing might be to just put out a request for

bids from local contractors, to re-surface the entire parking lot.”

Callaghan proposed a separate bidding process to completely resurface the parking lot. He is set PARKING | 3A

Farmers Union celebrates 100th anniversary Loebsack to receive award at event Newton Daily News The Iowa Farmers Union, the state’s oldest farm organization, will be celebrating its 100th anniversary as the voice of Iowa’s family farmers at its

upcoming annual convention.

The 2015 IFU Convention “Honoring Our Roots, Growing for the Future” will be Nov. 20-21 at the Holiday Inn Des Moines Airport and Conference Center.

The convention will bring together family farmers and advocates from across Iowa to learn about the lat-

est developments in farm and food policy and share their ideas for overcoming challenges and creating opportunities for Iowa’s independent family-owned farms.

One of the many unique events scheduled to take place at the convention will involve U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack. He will be receiving the National

Farmers Union’s 2015 Golden Triangle Award.

The convention’s workshops and training sessions will cover topics to include water quality, climate change and soil health, local and regional food systems, pesticide drift, biofuels and the RFS, eminent domain, food labeling, cooperative business

development, farm risk management, citizen lobbying, and Farmers Union history.

The convention’s general session will also feature a legislative policy debate led by IFU members, and addresses from National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson and Iowa Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Michael Naig.

Grain Prices The Iowa Department of Agriculture/USDA Market News closing cash grain bids offered to producers as of 1:30 p.m. Nov. 6 are listed below. Prices are in dollars per bushel, delivered to Interior Iowa Country Elevators.

Yellow Corn — In the North Central region, the average range was $3.32 to $3.40 with an average of $3.36. In the South Central region, the average range was $3.32 to $3.53 with an average of $3.40.

Yellow Soybeans — In the North Central region, the average range was $7.99 to $8.11 with an average of $8.05. In the South Central region, the average range was $8.09 to $8.17 with an average of $8.11.

Corn basis to state average price for the CBOT DEC contract is -.34, and soybean basis for the CBOT NOV contract is -.55. This report was prepared by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Farm activity in Jasper County this month might not include too much application of anhydrous ammonia fertilizers, as temperatures could remain above normal, with little precipitation to keep the ground from warming each day.

November might be too dry, warm for certain fertilizers Temperatures must be below 50 degrees on average to avoid biological activity

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Because the 10-day forecast calls for above-average temperatures and limited precipitation for much of November, that might push back the start of the suggested time frame for farmers to use certain cold-weather fertilizers.

A mid-October news release from the Iowa Department of Agriculture reminded farmers to wait until average daily temperatures have dipped below 50 degrees and are falling before applying anhydrous anhydrous ammonia (NH3) fertilizer this fall.

“We monitor the 10-day and 14-day forecasts each day,” said Elwynn Taylor, a climatologist at Iowa State University. “But right now, it doesn’t look like November will be a good month to put anhydrous ammonia fertilizer in the ground.”

Taylor said biological activity can still take place if temperatures are in the 40s, and dry, sunny days warm the fields even more. It isn’t until round-the-clock average temperatures dip well below 50 degrees, and/or have significantly wet conditions that keep the

ground from warming during the daytime, that biological activity below the surface ceases.

Nitrogen loss is one of the main conditions to avoid by waiting for colder, wetter weather, Taylor said.

“Biological activity is bad because it can break down the fertilizer’s elements, and negate the effects,” Taylor said. “It can be leached away. We’re not just going by temperatures; moisture and sunshine are important factors, too.”

Taylor said soil temperatures, generally measured about four inches below the surface, might be slightly different from the air temperatures. However, if the air is dry and the average temperature is still close to 50 degrees and holding steady, it’s a safe bet the soil is fairly warm as well.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach maintains a statewide real-time soil temperature data map on their website that retailers and farmers use to determine when fall “N” applications are appropriate. The soil is measured at a four-inch depth at 17 locations scattered throughout the state.

On Saturday afternoon, the

website registered soil temperature of 52 degrees at a the closest station to Jasper County, located in the Chariton area. It also logged soil temperatures of 49 and 53 degrees at two Ames-area locations, and the next-closest two monitoring stations, both located in the Ames area.

John Sawyer, an ISU professor and extension specialist in soil fertility and nutrient management, said ammonium is more susceptible to being converted into nitrogen in warmer, dry conditions.

“The reason for waiting to apply anhydrous ammonia until soils are cold is that nitrification, the process of biological conversion of ammonium to nitrate, occurs at a more rapid rate with warm soils,” Sawyer said. “Since ammonium-N does not leach and is not subject to denitrification, as is nitrate, it is more stable in the soil.”

Farmers with questions about timing of fertilizer applications can talk to their local ISU Extension and Outreach field specialist or their retailer for more information.

Farmland drainage to be discussed at Dec. 10 Iowa State workshop Newton Daily News AMES — Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and U.S. Department of Agriculture will host a Farmland Drainage Workshop from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Polk County Extension office in Altoona.

“This workshop is being offered due to increased interest in this topic the past year,” said Kapil Arora, field agricultural engineer with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

The morning session will focus on sub-surface drainage design concepts, wetland determinations, Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy and long-term benefits of tiling. The afternoon session will include discussions on economics, nutrient cycling in soils, controlled drainage, bioreactors, saturated buffers and managing drainage water quality with wetlands.

Legal issues related to tiling and Iowa drainage laws also will be covered.

Attendees will learn information essential to designing and planning a new drainage system or retrofitting an existing system while learning about environmental impacts and new technologies that may be useful in minimizing negative environmental impacts.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach speakers include Kapil Arora, field ag engineer; Kelvin Leibold, farm management specialist; Matt Helmers, professor and extension engineer; Mike Castellano, associate professor in agronomy, Jamie Benning, water quality program manager, and John Baker, Iowa Concern attorney. USDA-NRCS drainage specialist Jim Gertsma is also scheduled to speak.

Registration fee for the workshop is $40 before Dec. 7 and $60 after that date. Workshop materials, morning refreshments and lunch are included in the fee.

Registration can be made by completing the form located at www.extension.iastate.edu/polk and making payment to Polk County Extension.

School Continued from Page 1A Travis Padget, who was absent from Monday’s meeting, and fellow board member Andy Elbert joined Benson in voting in favor of the 2016-17 school year when the board voted in May, along with two members who no longer serve on the board.

Cook and board member Robyn Friedman were the only two to oppose it.

The 15-minute discussion didn’t result in any conclusive decision.

Earlier in Monday’s meeting, Cook also requested the minutes of the Oct. 26 meeting be amended to remove the word “suggested” from the section that mentioned her similar comments toward the end of that meeting. She said the mention of reconsidering the reconfiguration date is a request and not a suggestion.

The board has held two open work sessions, including one this past Monday, where the reconfiguration topics of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, obstacles, goal identification and moving forward were on the agenda. Benson and others said major prog-

ress was made during last week’s work session about reconfiguration tasks. Cook was ill and unable to attend that session.

Benson appeared upset Cook had raised the idea — at consecutive board meetings — of moving back reconfiguration.

“I have very big concerns that we are continuing to stir conversations we’ve previously had,” Benson said. “Unless there is something new to talk about, we need to move forward and let administration do their work.”

Superintendent Bob Callaghan was mostly silent during the dispute between Cook and Benson. However, he had previously pointed out the pending TLC Grant is written for the district to be configured into four K-4 campuses in 2016-17.

The main action item of the night was to push back the bond referendum election date. A motion to go for the state-stipulated first Tuesday in April was defeated, 4-2, followed by a motion to go with the first Tuesday in September. Benson and board

Herbig said one area where they are still in need is volunteers. She said those who would be willing to volunteer their time would do simple tasks such as cleaning tables, serving food and just talking with those who come for the meal.

“We still have room for volunteers. Probably another five or six to come in and help would be great,” Herbig said.

In addition to going to the restaurant for a meal, Herbig said organizers are hoping to add a delivery service this year for those that are unable to leave their residence.

“We feel it would be better to just ask for one new bid for the lot than to try to tack it on, piecemeal,” Callaghan said.

Callaghan said within the building, all framing is 90 percent complete, and the front entrance is still undergoing work.

Josh Cantu was the lone board member to vote against the bid.

“We’ve got a lot to do, but there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work,” Leonard said. “I want us to hit this out of the ballpark.”

“I continue to receive questions about this,” Callaghan said. “This money does not come out of the general fund, which is used for salaries and school supplies and direct instructional expenses. It can only be used for projects like this one, by law.”

The board’s next regular meeting is set for Nov. 23 at Emerson Hough.

Keeping Me on My Toes

Adding another candle

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Nov. 10, 2015

The time of year to add another candle to my birthday cake is here once again. Last year was the big one, exiting my 20s and having to reply, 30, when asked how old I am. Now that I am looking straight at 31, I reminds me of when my sister was the same age.

I have two older sisters, 10 plus years older than me.

When my sister, the younger of the two, turned 30, she didn’t have a huge reaction. It wasn’t until she turned 31 that it really hit her.

She was sitting at home tearful about her upcoming birthday. I was talking with my nephew who was under 10 at the time, and I asked what was wrong. His quick reply was,

“Oh, she must just be watching one of her girly movies,” then he went on with his business.

I do have to say that seeing the class below me turn 30 made me feel a little older than when my friends and I left our 20s. It set in more that the days of my careless youth were probably behind me and scheduled fun between dance class and school activities was what my future looked like.

But I am happy. I couldn’t be any happier than where I am as I turn 31. For one, my birthday is on a Friday and payday, score.

Then, Saturday I get to watch a wrestling meet in Kinnick Stadium before watching my 9-0 Hawkeyes at a black out night game versus Minnesota. That

all comes in the first two days.

I can say that I do miss the baby cuddles and falling asleep on my chest from when the girls were first born, but I love their ever growing spunky personalities and the girls they are growing into. Every day is an adventure, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

In the past year, we purchased the property I always wanted in town and have plenty of work to put into it. From adding a shower to building a deck and adding a bridge to our creek, yes we have our own creek, I see the next year being the year that we take a house and make it our home.

Although, I now have to act

like more an adult than I often feel, and can’t just go do whatever I want on a whim, being a grown up isn’t all bad. Being able to plan for big vacations or family trips and provide the experience for my kids is a 1,000 times better than I would have ever imagined. Getting out of debt and being financially responsible is a very close second.

So for those who might be staring at 30 in the rearview mirror or those who feel like it is looming over them as they quickly say goodbye to their 20s, don’t worry, it really is better with age.

A high school athlete in heroin’s deadly grip

Another View

If none of these guys can win, why are they all still running for president?

I follow some of these low-pollers on Twitter. I see their vision for America and their television schedules. And I see the comments that accompany their tweets.

More often than not, these twitter comments bring out the worst in people. It makes you wonder why By Marshall candidates — Critchfield who are stuck in Guest Columnist the land of single digit polling, cruel online commentary from anyone with an Internet connection and a seat at the junior varsity table on the night of the big debate — can still stomach the idea of running for president. Ironically though, the same reason they can’t seem to win is the same reason they still might have a shot.

Pretty much everywhere I go I ask people who they like for president in 2016. One of the most common answers I get is “I really like (THIS PERSON) but I don’t think they can win.” It’s really the only place I see logic like this. The Detroit Lions aren’t having a very good year, but people still show up on Sundays to support them.

Voters in Iowa want to maintain their relevance. Maybe last cycle they supported someone who let them down and this time around they are willing to hold their support until a clear winner

emerges — someone who aligns most closely with their vision and values; albeit someone who can win. Furthermore, few Iowans are willing to switch their candidates half-way through the election cycle. This is another reason you have folks who will not commit just yet.

If you ask the candidate how they can gain some momentum, they will tell you things like they “just need to keep working hard to get to know the voters.” Their staffers on the ground however are in the hunt for endorsements from well-known activists.

The combination of those two concepts is spot on.

If you’re a republican activist in a smaller Iowa county, people who aren’t paying as much attention (as you) are going to look to you for advice on who to support. So the campaign staff of a presidential candidate you met while working as part of a grassroots effort to elect that last Senator or Governor is going to use classic tactics to get you on their new team.

If they are successful, you become a liaison to their candidate, you get to know that candidate, and you plaster social media with their merits and prophecy.

The word establishment is being over-used this cycle (along with the word “narrative” — sheesh). Here’s what it really is: The hard-core Conservative Christians/Evangelicals, the Liberty Crowd and The GOP. There’s an open-mindedness

to the GOP that you simply will not find in the other factions of the party. Plus the mainline republicans are the most mindful of Iowa’s role in presidential politics and they’re the ones committed to maintaining that first in the nation status. These are the folks who give the lower-tired candidate a reason to forge ahead.

Imagine showing up at every event, looking your best, pretending to be in a great mood, having to see all of the “go home” comments online — yet you still make it. You still walk in with extraordinary vulnerability and you continue to tell your story, shake hands, meet people, etc. It’s like a perpetual job interview but as you’re walking in to meet with the hiring manager — people are telling you that you don’t have what it takes and that you should go home.

Maybe some of these people are running for the two-slot or a cabinet post. Some could even be thinking about four or eight years down the road. Regardless, anyone willing to tough this out without polling above five percent deserves a second look — and maybe one or two positive shout-outs on social media.

Marshall Critchfield is a Republican activist in Jasper County Iowa. He has worked in the U.S. House, he has chaired his local GOP, and most recently he served as the Iowa State Director for the Super Pac supporting Rick Perry for President.

That kid is an “addict” by the way. The guy who begs change from me at the convenience store two blocks from my house is a “junky.”

I live in a city. You could buy heroin here in the 1940s. I know guys who were addicted in the 1970s. Alas, their families lived in apartments. Addiction is only a disease when it strikes people who own their own homes. If you live in the projects, forget sympathy. Though you are for more likely to be arrested on a drug charge than Johnny Straight Teeth out there in Lawnsville.

Same with homosexuality. If you’re in a committed same-sex relationship with your cellmate and one of you dies of AIDs, you do not get a telethon to “find a cure.” If you work on the Broadway stage and AIDs kills you dead, there is no end to the sadness, publicly expressed and set to music.

In my city neighborhood, we hate junkies, sometimes even our

addicted relatives. You know why? Because they steal. They steal everything. They’re the reason you can’t take your kids to the park.

They’re not ex-high school football players who ruined their grades and didn’t make it to medical school, causing a great gusher of tragedy to erupt. Daddy’s insurance won’t send ‘em to rehab, a judge will.

People who own their own homes and wear collared shirts to work can’t have a junky in the family. They can, however, have a relative who is “struggling with the disease of addiction.” That makes it sound like multiple sclerosis or asthma, something terrible but non-volitional.

There are suburbs all around the city where I live. Out in the suburbs, you know your heroin habit is out of control when you move to the city, where there are homeless shelters and street begging is seldom stopped, where there are methadone clinics and homeless camps under the overpasses and behind the abandoned factories.

Send us your tired, your newly poor, your huddled bundles of rags yearning to shoot up in the weeds behind the dollar store. Send us your tragic former high school athletes. We like a sad story when we’re forking over spare change or a cigarette.

And if no one in our family ever graduated from high school? If you never met your father? If our mother has a neck tattoo and your grandmother is 40 years old? If the door of your house opens on to the sidewalk?

Then die, damn you, die.

Special-needs daughter gets little notice from dad’s family DEAR ABBY: A year ago, I ended a turbulent five-year relationship with my boyfriend, “Alex,” that resulted in a special-needs child. Alex is not living in reality when it comes to our daughter’s disabilities, and his family is not present in her life.

Our daughter, “Meghan,” spent months in the hospital before she was healthy enough to come home, and Alex’s family visited only a few times. I have tried to resolve the issues with Alex’s family so our daughter can have a relationship with them, but it is still one-sided. Meghan’s paternal family will send a present for her birthday or Christmas, but they spend no time with her. They have other grandchildren in other states that his mother drives hours to see, but she won’t drive five minutes to see my daughter.

I’d like to start rejecting the gifts they send Meghan with a note explaining why. I find it disturbing that they’ll spend money on my child, but are unwilling to spend time with her. I feel the gifts are a payoff. I don’t want Meghan to feel like the odd man out when she’s old enough to realize how she is treated compared to the other grandchildren. Abby, what are your thoughts?

— END OF MY ROPE DEAR END OF MY ROPE: I hate to see you sever your already tenuous ties with Meghan’s paternal family. Their behavior toward her may have something to do with the fact that she has disabilities, or the “turbulence” of your five-year relationship with their son.

If they would consent to it, I would recommend family counseling for all of you. However, if they won’t, and because you feel that their lack of involvement in Meghan’s life will eventually be-

come hurtful to her, you are within your rights to reject their gifts and find more support for her within your own family.

DEAR ABBY: My son tells me no one wants to hang out with him at the small community college he attends. He is a handsome, loving, polite young man who earned the citizenship award three years in a row in elementary school. His sister and I were discussing that maybe he is being TOO polite and it could turn people off. No one likes the “nice guy.” Do you have any advice I can give him? — RAISED A GOOD BOY DEAR RAISED A GOOD BOY: I disagree with your statement that no one likes a nice guy.

Nice people like nice people. From this distance, I am unable to guess what your son’s problem might be.

However, it is telling that you are seeking advice about his social problems, not him. The best advice you could convey to your son would be to talk about this with a counselor at school. Together, they may be able to figure out why he has trouble fitting in. You should also encourage him to get involved in activities, which should widen his circle of acquaintances.

One person dies after apartment fire, chief says CHARLES CITY — A fire chief says one person has died after a blaze that damaged an apartment in Charles City.

Whipple says the flames were contained to just one unit at the Clarkview Apartments on the east side of Charles City, although other tenants were briefly evacuated.

Residents call for dissolution of Iowa school district REINBECK (AP) — The Board of Education’s decision to close one of Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community Schools’ three schools has prompted a petition drive to dissolve the entire district.

The school, which served Gladbrook-area students in kindergarten through second grade, was closed in the spring after budget cuts. Students from that school were moved into Reinbeck Ele-

mentary and Gladbrook-Reinbeck High School.

Citizens served the board with a petition and proposal in May calling for the district to dissolve and for its attendance area and property to be divided between neighboring districts. Since then, the board has appointed a seven-member commission to lead the process.

“Essentially, we need to formulate a proposal that

we need to present to our school board,” said commission chairwoman Anne Boyer. Boyer was elected to the school board in September.

The board would be responsible for setting a referendum for residents to vote for or against the proposal. If the proposal is approved, the Gladbrook-Reinbeck school district will be divided between other districts as laid out in the plan.

The district had 466 students as of Oct. 1.

Deputy director of the Iowa Department of Education Jeff Berger says dissolution is very rare among Iowa school districts, and that the way the process has moved forward for Gladbrook-Reinbeck is “very uncommon.”

Berger said, “I’ve been here 18 years. I cannot recall another situation where it was driven by citizen petition.”

Iowa National Guard hopes to recruit more women

Branstad says no change to Medicaid privatization timeline DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad is rejecting a request that the state delay penalizing health care providers that don’t quickly sign contracts with the private companies set to run Iowa’s Medicaid program.

Branstad said Monday that there was no need to change the timeline.

Democratic lawmakers asked the state to delay the penalBranstad ties that will hit providers that don’t sign up by Jan. 1. In a letter, they called it “punitive and predatory.”

Branstad says that shifting the state’s Medicaid program to private operators will improve health care outcomes.

The governor’s privatization plans have come under scrutiny, over the speed of the process and the contracting procedures.

Warm start to November keeps harvest ahead of schedule DES MOINES (AP) — Agriculture officials say an unusually warm start to November has helped Iowa corn and soybean farmers nearly complete this year’s harvest.

State Climatologist Harry Hillaker says statewide temperatures were about nine degrees above normal last week, making it the warmest start to November since 2008.

That allowed farmers to get 93 percent of the corn crop out of the fields,

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM Now Available!

Only $19.99 plus tax

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Boyer says she does not like how the dissolution process began in the district and finds it “devastating” to think about dissolving the district.

“It’s using a screwdriver to pound nails. There are more positive ways to move forward than this,” Boyer said.

The petition needs to be signed by at least 20 percent of the district’s registered voters for the school board to take action.

Agriculture officials say they’ve received reports of piles of corn on the ground at some ethanol plants and local elevators.

Soybean farmers have 98 percent of the crop harvested, a week ahead of last year.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture updates its estimate of the size of this year’s harvest on Tuesday.

DES MOINES (AP) — The head of the Iowa National Guard said Monday that he is hoping to increase the number of women in the ranks.

Major General Timothy Orr said that he will sign a pledge to recruit and retain more women as part of campaign by a women’s business group in Iowa.

Orr said that female roles in the military are expanding, noting a recent Army decision to open field artillery jobs to women. He said two women have already enlisted into an artillery unit in northwest Iowa.

Currently about 18 percent of Iowa’s Air National Guard and 15 percent of Iowa’s Army National Guard is female — or about 16 percent of the nearly 9,000 members total. The participation rate is similar to the national military.

Orr said he’d like to double those numbers.

“I think really the sky’s the limit. There’s really a lot of opportunity,” Orr said.

Forecasters: 63 million should have eye out for bad weather The Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark.— Forecasters are warning 63 million people in the central U.S. to have an eye out for bad weather this week as colliding air masses threaten to generate high winds and possibly tornadoes.

The threat Wednesday stretches from San Antonio to Chicago to Cincinnati. It appeared Monday that Missouri, southern Illinois and northern Arkansas would face the greatest severe weather threat, but the Storm Prediction Center cautioned that people throughout the Midwest should be prepared to take action should the forecast change.

“It’s going to be a large area, depending on how much unstable air develops,” said Bill Bunting, the operations chief at the Norman, Oklahoma-based forecasting center. He said that while the jet stream and upper-level disturbances were aligning in the atmosphere to aid storm development, another key ingredient — moist Gulf air flooding into the Midwest — was the great unknown.

“It’s not a given. We have concerns about the amount of low-level moisture that will be in place. That’s a common challenge in November forecasting,” Bunting said.

A series of cold fronts have pushed humid air well south, but should it return Tuesday and Wednesday the result could be very bad weather.

While seeking out forecasts was advisable, there’s another way for non-scientists to know if something is up: “Wednesday morning, if there are low clouds streaming northward rapidly, Wednesday will be a day you can expect severe thunderstorm and tornado watches,” Bunting said. “If less moisture is in place, you may have showers and a narrow squall line. Nothing is off the table.”

Temperatures Monday across the Midwest were a few degrees above normal but could reach unseasonable temperatures by Wednesday — 10 to 15 degrees above normal, and approaching or exceeding 70 as far north as central Missouri.

November storms aren’t unusual; Illinois had eight deaths in tornadoes in November 2013. So far this year, there have been 10 deaths from tornadoes, but none since May. Seven occurred in mobile homes.

Since the May 2013 tornado at Moore, Oklahoma, killed 24 people, including seven school children, the nation’s has had 77 deaths from tornadoes. The worst was a storm that killed 16 west and north of Little Rock in April 2014.

AP Photo Workers stand in at the candidate’s podiums in preparation for Tuesday’s Republican debate Monday in Milwaukee.

Substance vs. personalities as stakes grow MILWAUKEE (AP) — Organizers are promising to focus on substance when eight Republicans face off on the main stage for the GOP’s fourth presidential debate.

While that’s the plan, big personalities and rising tensions in the unsettled 2016 field could make for an unpredictable Tuesday evening in Milwaukee. Donald Trump and Ben Carson are fighting to maintain their places atop the polls, while others — including Jeb Bush — are fighting for their political survival in the 9 p.m.

EST event.

With the fewest people on stage so far this Republican primary season, the candidates will get more time to make their individual cases and distinguish themselves from their rivals.

Some things to look for in the two-hour debate: 1. Debate host Fox Business Network is promising to focus on substantive issues, a response to those who accused last month’s CNBC debate of focusing too much on politics and “gotcha” questions. Some candidates should be careful what they ask for. A substantive debate on detailed policy could present challenges for outsider candidates Ben Carson and Donald Trump. The pair is leading most polls largely based on the strength of their personalities, not their command of public policy. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, has sometimes struggled

when challenged to explain his prescriptions for the nation’s problems.

A more focused debate could help the experienced candidates stand out.

But with Trump in the middle of the stage, it remains to be seen whether organizers can keep politics and personalities from dominating the night.

2. The last debate was a disaster for Jeb Bush, whose attack on rival Marco Rubio backfired and thrust his anemic candidacy into crisis mode.

He launched a so-called comeback tour days later in a bus emblazoned with the unintentionally ironic slogan, “Jeb can fix it.” Based on his performance in the first three debates, the former Florida governor has a lot to fix. He has struggled to be aggressive in previous debates and failed to stand out on policy, which should be his strength. The self-described introvert may never dominate in a debate of big personalities, but he’ll need to avoid another disaster if he expects to rescue his campaign. He can’t fix it all at once with a strong performance Tuesday, but he can give his comeback some badly needed momentum.

3. Ben Carson has faced a firestorm of controversy in recent days over questions about his background. Among them, his claim of a scholarship offer to the United States Military Academy at West Point despite having never applied. Carson’s supporters have rallied around him in

recent days and blamed the media for his troubles. And Carson’s campaign says the scrutiny has energized him as never before. It’s also pushed him to change his strategy. Aides say he’s planning to defend himself far more aggressively than he has in the first three meetings. It’s unclear, however, whether the soft-spoken Carson can play the aggressor on a stage with more aggressive opponents. His bigger challenge Tuesday night could be policy. As a former neurosurgeon, Carson has little background with key issues such as economics, foreign policy, Social Security or national security.

4. Marco Rubio emerged from the last debate as one of the clear winners, yet questions remain about his ability to build upon his newfound momentum. Look for his opponents to do everything they can to stop him.

Both Jeb Bush and Donald Trump have identified Rubio as their chief rival. Trump in particular has intensified attacks in recent days, calling Rubio “a lightweight choker” and “a highly overrated politician” in a series of tweets on the eve of the debate. Rubio won a pointed exchange with Bush in the last meeting, but the target on his back is growing. To become a winner Tuesday night, he’ll have to respond to direct attacks from Trump, a far more skilled showman than Bush.

Area players earn SICL volleyball honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Lynnville-Sully junior Brenna Lanser led the South Iowa Cedar League in digs throughout the 2015 season.

Colfax-Mingo sophomore Ries Wilson was one of the SICL leaders in kills.

The two area volleyball players were awarded for their work for their respective teams, earning 2015 All-South Iowa Cedar League first-team honors. The SICL coaches selected the all-conference first and second teams and honorable mentions recently.

Receiving honorable mention honors from the SICL coaches were Lynnville-Sully seniors Shelby Foster and Kristen Van Der Wilt and Colfax-Mingo junior Dakota Hostetter and sophomore Megan Earles. Neither area team had players named to the second team.

Joining Lanser and Wilson on the conference’s first team were Iowa Valley’s senior Marissa Ward, who was the lone unanimous selection, Montezuma freshman Riley Gatton, North Mahaska junior Olivia Boender, HLV junior Brooke Kuesel, BGM senior Jolissa Kriegel and Sigourney senior Sierra Davis.

Also on the first team as conference setters were Iowa Valley sophomore Cherisse Ward and North Mahaska junior Katie Koehler. The all-conference libero was BGM junior Hope Beck.

Iowa Valley’s Greg Jergens was coach of the year, guiding the Tigers to an undefeated, 11-0, SICL mark.

Montezuma and North Mahaska each went 9-2 in conference play. Lynnville-Sully (10-9) finished at 7-4. In its first season in the SICL, Colfax-Mingo (9-18) went 4-7.

Lanser finished with 314 digs, which is 4.76 digs per set, and 209 kills (3.17 per set) to lead the Hawks. She was an 88-percent server, 200-of-227, and she led the team with 54 ace serves.

The junior had three assisted blocks and two solo blocks.

serves with 43 as a 96-percent server, 214-of-223. Van Der Wilt had five kills.

Foster was third on the

Hawk team in digs with 165.

She put up 53 set assists and served at a 93-percent clip, 141-of-152, with 15 aces. At the net, the senior delivered 34 kills and two block assists.

Ries was in the SICL conference top five in both kills, 316, and digs, 270, as she led the Tigerhawks. Wilson had 25 blocks at the net. The sophomore hitter also was one of the top servers for Colfax-Mingo with 46 ace serves.

Earles was the Tigerhawks’ setter, leading them with 419 assists, which pushed her toward the top of the assist list in the conference. Earles finished with 166 digs. Hostetter, a hitter for the Tigerhawks, produced 96 kills and was credited with 216 digs.

On the second team were Sigourney sophomore Leah Carter as setter, Iowa Valley junior Isabel Patterson as libero, Iowa Valley sophomore Caleigh Smith, Montezuma senior Katie Maschmann and sophomore Hanna Jones, North Mahaska junior Jensen Keiderman, Belle Plaine freshman Kenzie Mantz, HLV junior Kelsea Shaull and Sigourney junior Anna Ohland.

Football players join protest leading to University of Missouri president leaving over race complaints

ing awkwardly at the podium for nearly three minutes after only being able to read the first sentence of his statement.

For months, black student groups have complained of racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white flagship campus of the state’s four-college system. Frustrations flared during a homecoming parade Oct. 10 when black protesters blocked Wolfe’s car, and he did not get out and talk to them. They were removed by police.

Black members of the football team joined the outcry Saturday night. By Sunday, a campus sit-in had grown in size, graduate student groups planned walkouts and politicians began to weigh in.

Until Monday, Wolfe did not indicate that he had any intention of stepping down. He agreed in a statement issued Sunday that “change is needed” and said the university was working to draw up a plan by April to promote diversity and tolerance.

The Tigers’ next game is Saturday against Brigham Young University at

Hawks give Parkinson reasons to stay at L-S forever

Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, and canceling it could cost the school more than $1 million.

“The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe ‘Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,’” the players said in a statement. “We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experience. WE ARE UNITED!!!!!”

Head football coach Gary Pinkel expressed solidarity on Twitter, posting a picture of the team and coaches locking arms. The tweet said: “The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players.”

A statement issued by Pinkel and Missouri Athletic Director Mack Rhoades linked the return of the protesting football players to the end of a hunger strike by a black graduate student who began the effort Nov. 2 and has vowed to not eat until Wolfe is gone.

“Our focus right now is on the health of Jonathan Butler, the concerns of our student-athletes and working with our community to address this serious issue,” the statement said.

After Wolfe’s announcement, Butler said in a tweet that his strike was over.

The protests began after the student government president, who is black, said in September that people in a passing

Troy Hyde/Daily News Sophomore Ries Wilson was a force at the net for Colfax-Mingo in its first season in the SICL. Wilson was one of the conference leaders in kills. She received All-SICL first-team honors.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The president of the University of Missouri system resigned Monday with the football team and others on campus in open revolt over his handling of racial tensions at the school.

President Tim Wolfe said his resignation was effective immediately.

He made the announcement at the start of what had been expected to be a lengthy closed-door meeting of the school’s governing board.

The complaints came Wolfe to a head a day earlier, when at least 30 black football players announced that they would not play until the president was gone. One student went on a week-long hunger strike.

Wolfe took “full responsibility for the frustration” students had expressed and said their complaints were “clear” and “real.”

“This is not the way change comes about,” he said, alluding to recent protests, in a halting statement that was simultaneously apologetic, clumsy and defiant. “We stopped listening to each other.”

He urged students, faculty and staff to use the resignation “to heal and start talking again to make the changes necessary.”

A poor audio feed for the one board member who was attending the meeting via conference call left Wolfe stand-

This & That

When a football game ends, and I approach a team huddle, I never know what to expect.

The conversations are certainly better after wins than losses, but what I saw Friday night in Mount Ayr after the Lynnville-Sully football team ended its season with a loss to the ninthranked Raiders stuck with me a little bit By Troy Hyde L-S coach Newton Daily News Mike Parkinson usual- Sports Writer ly says a few words and then lets each of his coaches say something, too.

This particular conversation ended with an emotional Parkinson thanking his players for a memorable season.

It was almost a season that wasn’t for Parkinson though.

He resigned from his positions at the school to take an assistant football coaching and teaching job at ADM of Adel.

Fortunately for Parkinson, his football job at Lynnville-Sully opened back up shortly after it was filled, and the Hawk coach had a change of heart.

He stayed at the school, led his team to a No. 3 seed in Class A District 7, and the season ended at the state quarterfinals.

“There is some emotion there. It’s not about me. It’s never been about me,” Parkinson said. “These 44 guys are my kids. It was a hard decision in the beginning, but it’s not hard thinking about now. It was a no brainer to stay.”

While interviewing Parkinson after the game, I noticed a few of the Hawk seniors hanging out a few yards away.

That usually doesn’t happen so I was curious as to what was about to happen.

After my five-minute conversation with the coach, he walked over to the foursome and Sage Ehresman, one of the Hawks’ best players, said “Thank you for staying, coach. We want you to carry the trophy out of here.”

Parkinson hugged all four players, said a few words and once again had an emotional, but memorable moment, with his players.

Ehresman was the team’s best offensive player and one of the squad’s top defensive players, too. He’s not the only player who contributed to a season that wasn’t expected by many to end in the quarterfinals, though.

“He’s been our go-to guy this season. He deserves every accolade he gets because he has worked his tail off,” Parkinson said of Ehresman.

“But it’s not one guy. It takes all the 11 to make it go. I am proud of not only 27 but all the other guys we had on the team.

“Nobody thought we’d get this far and have a chance to win.”

I remember my senior year of football back in 1998. That final game is an emotional night. I never had a coach who said he was leaving then

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Nov. 10, 2015 Sports Late pass gives Johnson fourth Texas fall win in a row

2B |

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Brad Keselowski was dominating at Texas, leading lap after lap and getting oh so close to a victory that would have given one of the four championship-contending spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup finale.

Until Texas fall favorite Jimmie Johnson came charging after the final restart.

Keselowski led a track-record 312 of 334 laps Sunday after starting from the pole, but couldn’t keep Johnson from winning the Texas fall race for the fourth straight year.

“Just one step short of having the awesome day we needed to have,” Keselowski said. “I’m not sure exactly how to feel about it at the moment.

The 48 car had so much speed those last 10 laps.”

With the already-eliminated Johnson getting his 75th career victory, three spots are still up for grabs at Phoenix, the last race before the Nov. 22 finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The only championship contender set is retiring

NASCAR Photo Jimmie Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet, leads Brad Keselowski, driver of the No. 2 Wurth Ford, during Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Johnson gained the lead from Keselowski late and went on to win the race.

four-time champion Jeff Gordon, the Martinsville winner last week and Johnson’s teammate at Hendrick Motorsports.

Kyle Busch leads the points race for at least two of the spots, ahead of defending Chase champion Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. Carl Edwards is next, followed by Keselows-

ki, Kurt Busch and Joey Logano.

After the final restart with 18 laps left, Keselowski and Truex were side-by-side, and even made contact at one point before Truex went in front very briefly.

Keselowski almost as quickly got back in front, and Johnson also went charging past Truex into second place

and right on the leader’s tail. Truex lost his power steering in those closing laps, and slipped to finish eighth.

Johnson kept pushing and on the backstretch on lap 331, he got past when Keselowski got really loose out of the second turn. Johnson went on to win by more than a second.

“That was the first I

Miller’s one-handed touchdown catch helps Bears down depleted Chargers SAN DIEGO (AP) — Zach Miller made a one-handed grab of a 25-yard touchdown pass from Jay Cutler with 3:19 to go, and the Chicago Bears beat the San Diego Chargers 22-19 on Monday night.

Cutler, who overcame an interception return for a touchdown and a fumble to throw for 345 yards, calmly led the Bears on the winning 10-play, 80-yard drive after the Chargers opened a 19-14 lead on rookie Josh Lambo’s 22-yard field goal.

Miller made a leaping grab with his right hand and scored.

Rookie Jeremy Langford, subbing for the injured Matt Forte, ran in the two-point conversion.

It was the first lead for Chicago, which scored 15 points in the fourth quarter.

“Jay made a great throw and I was able to go up and get it. After that, I went unconscious,” Miller said about his game-winning catch with 3:19 left.

“It was one of those things where instincts kind of take over. I really didn’t have time to go up with two, because he put some juice on it. I went

Missouri Continued from Page 1B pickup truck shouted racial slurs at him. In early October, members of a black student organization said slurs were hurled at them by an apparently drunken white student.

Also, a swastika drawn in feces was found recently in a dormitory bathroom.

Many of the protests have been led by an organization called Concerned Student 1950, which gets its name from the year the university accepted its first black student. Its members besieged Wolfe’s car at the parade, and they have been conducting a sit-in on a campus plaza since last Monday.

Two trucks flying Confederate flags drove past the site Sunday, a move many saw as an attempt at intimidation. At least 150 students gathered at the plaza Sunday night to pray, sing and read Bible verses, a larger crowd than on previous days. Many planned to camp there overnight, despite temperatures that had dropped

with one and thankfully pulled it down.”

Cutler’s two touchdown passes broke the franchise record, giving him 139 with the Bears.

Cutler had been tied with Hall of Famer Sid Luckman.

The Bears (3-5) snapped a two-game losing streak.

San Diego (2-7) lost its fifth straight.

Cutler never wavered in another tight game for Chicago.

He continually attacked San Diego’s depleted secondary, completing 27-of-40 passes.

Two plays before the touchdown throw to Miller, Cutler was hit and still completed a 12-yard pass to Alshon Jeffery on third-and-6.

San Diego’s Philip Rivers was 26-of-42 for 280 yards. It was the first time in six games that he didn’t throw for more than 300.

The Bears had a rough first half, but the Chargers couldn’t put them away.

Cutler lost a fumble on a sack and then made an off-themark throw to Jeffery, which second-year cornerback Jason Verrett intercepted and returned 68 yards for a 13-0 lead.

The Chargers suffered even more injuries.

Verrett hurt his groin one play after his pick-six and came out, but remained on the sideline. Cornerback Patrick Robinson left with a neck injury.

Wide receiver Malcom Floyd, who is playing his last season, injured his left shoulder while diving trying to make a catch.

Eight days earlier, San Diego’s Keenan Allen, one of the NFL’s leading receivers, suffered a season-ending lacerated kidney when he landed hard at the end of a spectacular touchdown catch in a loss at Baltimore.

Cutler broke the franchise record for touchdown passes when he found Martellus Bennett for a 1-yard score midway through the second quarter.

Cutler had been tied with Hall of Famer Sid Luckman with 137 with the Bears. Cutler began his career with the Broncos.

Luckman threw his final touchdown pass as a member of the Bears on Sept. 17, 1950.

Langford scored on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter to start Chicago’s comeback.

into the upper 30s.

Also joining in the protest effort were two graduate student groups that called for walkouts Monday and Tuesday and the student government at the Columbia campus, the Missouri Students Association.

The association said in a letter Sunday to the system’s governing body that there had been “an increase in tension and inequality with no systemic support” since last year’s fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, which is about 120 miles east of Columbia.

Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, was shot and killed by a white police officer during a struggle, and his death helped spawn the “Black Lives Matter” movement rebuking police treatment of minorities.

The association said Wolfe heads a university leadership that “has undeniably failed us and the students that we represent.”

“He has not only enabled a culture of racism since the start of his tenure in 2012, but blatantly ignored and disrespected the concerns of students,” the

group wrote.

Concerned Student 1950 has demanded, among other things, that Wolfe “acknowledge his white male privilege,” that he is immediately removed, and that the school adopt a mandatory racial-awareness program and hire more black faculty and staff.

One of the sit-in participants, Abigail Hollis, a black undergraduate, said the campus is “unhealthy and unsafe for us.”

“The way white students are treated is in stark contrast to the way black students and other marginalized students are treated, and it’s time to stop that,” Hollis said. “It’s 2015.”

The school’s undergraduate population is 79 percent white and 8 percent black. The state is about 83 percent white and nearly 12 percent black.

Wolfe, 56, is a former software executive and Missouri business school graduate whose father taught at the university. He was hired in 2011 as president, succeeding another former business executive who also lacked experience in academia.

had seen him that vulnerable all day. I just kept the pressure on him, kept searching for line,” Johnson said.

“I did everything I could to hold him off but he was way faster that last run,” Keselowski said. “As I sit right now, and maybe I’ll change my mind, I don’t know what I would have done differently, or could have done differently.”

Minutes after the race, suspended driver Matt Kenseth tweeted, “Good work @JimmieJohnson! Textbook pass for the win at the end of the race when someone is trying to take your lane. #quintessential” After Logano chalked up contact with Kenseth at Kansas last month as aggressive racing for a win, NASCAR chairman Brian France referred to the move as “quintessential.”

Logano got knocked from first to last among the eight championship contenders after being intentionally wrecked by Kenseth at Martinsville a week ago as payback. NASCAR then suspended Kenseth for two races, and his appeals were denied.

Parkinson Continued from Page 1B changed his mind to stay a few months later though.

Parkinson also coaches track and field. You can tell his players truly do love him, and most of Parkinson’s emotional ending to his speech to the team Friday involved a lot of “I love you guys.”

I won’t try to predict whether or not Parkinson will ever make a decision to leave the school.

No one else should either.

I also wouldn’t blame him for making a decision he feels is best for his family.

Graduating senior Noah Engle even made sure to tell Parkinson he could coach the Hawks for as long as he wants.

“You better stay here forever coach,” Engle said.

For a group of eight seniors, which includes Engle and Ehresman, it will be hard to say goodbye.

For the rest of the team,

“Clearly he was watching and bored at home,” Johnson said, when asked about Kenseth’s tweet. “That’s a nice buzz word. ...

Thank you, buddy. I don’t know how to even answer that.”

Logano’s title shot took another huge hit when he had a blown tire after only 10 laps at Texas, where he finished 66 laps back in 40th place.

Johnson led only six laps to get his fifth win of the season, his first in 20 starts and one within Dale Earnhardt for the seventh-most in NASCAR history.

Harvick finished third, even after he twice had to come in to replace punctured tires after running over something on the track, and having to drive one-handed for a long stretch when he was having to hold on to the shifter to keep his car from popping out of gear. Kyle Busch was fourth Camping World Truck Series points leader Erik Jones took over in Kenseth’s No. 22 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, and the 19-year-old driver finished 12th.

losing Friday should motivate them to do even better next year.

“It’s harder for the older guys, but this gives the younger guys a taste of what this loss feels like,” Parkinson said. “This is a legacy (the seniors) get to leave.

I don’t know that anyone would have predicted us to get this far. We were about the only ones who believed we could do it.

“It’s still unfinished. The job is never done,” Parkinson said. “The guys who are coming back can use this as a learning experience. I hope they set their sights on this and just remember that this was a team that wasn’t supposed to beat Pekin and wasn’t supposed to beat Winfield-Mount Union.”

It was a fun year for the Lynnville-Sully football team.

It was even more fun because Parkinson was still on the Hawk sidelines.

DAILY NEWS Astrograph

Tomorrow’s new moon in Scorpio has the added significance of falling on Veteran’s Day. Change is in the air, the kind that’s born of spiritual evolution. So if you knew you’d be a different person tomorrow, who would you want to be? This is the ideal time to imagine the possibilities.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 10). The end of the year brings such a departure from life as usual that you’ll come back and view your lifestyle with fresh eyes. January is busy with improvements and upgrades. A new financial channel opens in March. The spring brings healing for your

heart and a past wrong will be made right. Pisces and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 15, 28, 30 and 1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Regarding the thing that was off-limits to you before -- it’s worth another shot. Your luck has changed and so have the surrounding circumstances.

This is likely about love.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

By focusing on the details you could improve the big picture markedly, or you could unnecessarily complicate your life by reading too much into things. The trick will be knowing when to pull back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The one who is sensitive to your needs isn’t just being polite. He or she is showing you a quiet, noble version of love.

Make sure you don’t take for granted those who are inclined to serve you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You have the guts to move on from a job that no longer holds intrigue, or a relationship that stifles you. Change doesn’t have to be a drawn-out process -- it can happen in a snap.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When things get chaotic, you’re the one who can calm it all down.

Start by making and guarding a peaceful place inside yourself. Inner tranquility will lead

Call TODAY! 641-792-3121

to tranquility in the world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There’s a fine line between saving, collecting and hoarding. Look for better ways to use valuables -- ways that will energize you and cause a sense of flow in your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Don’t waste a minute wishing you were someone else or that you had anything different from what you currently possess. What if you believed instead that everything you are and have is right, useful and perfectly suited to this day?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Go on and dedicate yourself to a cause that’s greater than you.

The happy side effect will

be personal success that, if you had aimed directly for it, would have eluded you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Be resilient. Don’t ruminate. Blunders and absurdities are to be expected. The ability to forget them as soon as possible is among the most useful of human gifts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What you do when you’re in a lazy mood can help you for all the other moods.

There’s something you once thought of as a habit of idleness that is turning out to be quite a wellspring of inspiration.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s hard when you have

to do it all by yourself, but that’s the situation that teaches you the most, too. You’ll be stronger because you had to pull yourself up and make something out of nothing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You will be dealt the perfect cards today; you just have to play them right. Believe in the integrity and value of your offerings. Your best move will be born out of high selfesteem.
