Monroe City Council axes Dollar General deal Rezoning property fails to gain approval

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News MONROE — Emotions ran high as the Monroe City Council voted to rezone Madsen Field failed to pass Monday, essentially killing a deal with Dollar General Corporation to build a store there.

Needing to garner three-quarters of the vote to pass, the 3-2 vote came up short to rezone the area commercial, one of the final steps before DG Corp. could finalize the deal.

Council members Nathaniel Bradbury and Jean Goemaat casted “no” votes sealing the fate for the property. The council previously approved the sale of the property, located south of downtown on Highway 14, for $150,000 in August. Mayor Douglas Duinink made it official a week later. Bradbury and Goemaat also voted “no” to that measure.

Following the meeting Bradbury explained why he was not in favor of measure.

“There were several factors but tonight the issue with the rezoning was the majority of surrounding property owners were protesting,” Bradbury said. “Taking care of our current people is most important to me.”

Bradbury has a history of descent when Madsen Field is involved. Three years ago, prior to his time on the council, he launched a change.org petition to overturn a city council decision to sell the property to Family Dollar. The petition gained 52 signatures and many of the supporters wanted the property to stay a green space and under public control.

Close to a dozen citizens spoke Monday during a public hearing on the subject prior to the vote. The room appeared to be split down the middle with about half in favor of the store and half opposed.

NCSD spends $84,000 to replace computer hub equipment

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When new wireless network hardware was recently installed at Newton High School, it had the expected result of improving internet speeds.

However, once the district learned how many people and devices were hoping to use the wireless network, it crashed some older hardware, which now must be replaced.

The Newton Community School District Board of Education voted unanimously Monday to spend about $84,000 on a network switch — a hub of ports that helps con-

nect computers within large organizations such as school districts. The winning bid was from Heartland Business Systems, which had a slightly higher bid than a West Des Moines firm called AOSNC, LLC. Technology Supervisor Dan Sloan explained that when connectivity slowed down over the past few years, it became impossible to know exactly how many people are trying to access wireless internet at Newton High School. The problem came to a head on Oct. 12 when the district’s four older switch boards became overloaded, knocking out all

district computer traffic — both internet connectivity and communication between computers.

“We were able to stabilize it by adding our spare fifth board, but it’s not a stable situation,” Sloan said. “We’re very reluctant to add anything else to the network, and it requires constant monitoring. By the end of the week of Oct. 12, we decided to put it out to bid.”

Board member Andy Elbert asked Sloan if the problem could have been foreseen.

“When you’re guessing at how many people can’t get online, how do you quantify that?” Sloan

“A market study for potential hotel projects is something that has been stated by several hotel developers that

The supervisor told the Newton Daily News the problem was exacerbated when the password to the student wireless network was accidentally “leaked” to students, who then began using that network for personal devices instead of the public WiFi. Sloan said this sped up the overuse of the network switch, but the 4-year-old device might have soon reached its capacity anyway.

“The average life span of network switches is four to six years,” Sloan said.

Cover crop field day gives farmers best practices in Prairie City

Practical Farmers of Iowa to host fall webinar series

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — Iowa’s water quality crisis is a problem for everyone, urban and rural residents alike.

Although the debate for who’s to blame has been contentious, many farmers are trying to do something about agriculture’s impact on the state’s waterways.

In partnership with National Resource Conservation Service personnel at the Newton USDA Service Center, Prairie City farmer Gordon Wassenaar hosted a cover crop field day Nov. 8 to educate Jasper County and other central Iowa producers how keeping fields covered year-round improves soil quality and prevents runoff from entering nearby waterways.

About two dozens farmers gathered on Wassenaar’s farm south of Prairie City, to hear from soil scientists who demonstrated cover crops in action. The non-commodity plants are typically planted directly following harvest and have two main affects — they protect soil from weather erosion during winter months and their roots capture nutrients leaving them in the soil.

Patrick Chase is an NRCS soil scientist based in Newton. At the field day, he demonstrated how active, health biology in top soil can better withstand erosion caused by water.

Chase took two clumps of soil, one with a healthy level with microorganisms and the other with a less robust microbiome and dropped them each into a cylinder of water. The clump with microorganism diversity largely held together while the other broke apart. Holding the soil together kept the water clean and mostly free of topsoil contamination.

Chase did a similar demonstration with soil samples from till and no-till fields. The result from the no-till sample had similar results to the sample with healthy microorganism biology.

Chase said cover crops

An ag-education Mike Mendenhall/Prairie City News Patrick Chase, a National Resource Conservation Service soil scientist at the Newton USDA Service Center, speaks at the Prairie City farm of Gordon Wassenaar during a cover crop field day Nov. 8. At the field day Chase demonstrated how active, health biology in top soil can better withstand erosion caused by water.

have been shown to keep the microbiology and nutrient content of the soil rich throughout the winter months. Coupled with no-till methods of field maintenance, the demonstration showed the field day attendees the direct results of the practices, how it affects water quality and mitigates top soil loss.

“It’s that force of the water getting into the soil aggregate which breaks it apart. If you have no stability, that thing just dissolves,” Chase said during the no-till demonstration.

“That’s what happens when you have a big rain. Why do you have erosion? Our soils have been beat up, they’re tired and they just fall apart. That’s why they need the biology, they need roots, they need cover to protect them.”

Outside near the cover crop demonstration fields, Chase demonstrated the affects of a torrential rainfall on top soil using the Iowa NRCS Rainfall Simulator. It rains on four field patches with varying degrees of cover and tillage — from bare dirt with full tillage to a no-till field with cover crop.

The rain runs off into collection buckets below.

The soil loss on fields with little cover is much more substantial and the patches with high tillage

is also dry, showing notill allows moisture to better soak into the top soil.

“When you run any type of tillage through, you make every chuck of soil a little bit smaller every time,” Chase said. “How easy is it for you to run up this hill and breath through a straw? That’s what you’re forcing your soils to do with very little input, very little resources for water, nutrients and air.

Any type of disturbance moves or even eliminates your biology, too.”

The Nov. 8 event was the second cover crop field day on Wassenaar’s farm, and one of only a handful to be hosted on privately owned fields in Iowa. The Prairie City farmer is already known in the Iowa ag community for hosting international industry guests in multiple events each year.

Wassenaar has been applying cover crops to his fields for six years, starting with a single variety of cereal rye. He now plants several seed mixes on the total of his 1,700 acres of corn and soybean fields.

Wassenaar partnered with NRCS one year ago to develop a test plot on his sweet corn field to test the effectiveness of various cover crops in top soil conservation, runoff mitigation and

maintaining nutrients.

The Prairie City farmer said the test plot is both for his own research and to educate other Iowa farmers on the positive impact cover crops can have on Iowa’s water quality and field productivity.

“The idea of the plot is to get an idea of how different (cover crops) would react and to have an open house to let other people see and compare the different seedings,” Wassenaar said.

The plot shows farmers cover crop growth from two separate planting dates with a variety of grasses, legumes and brassicas.

Wassenaar does not do side-by-side yield trials to calculate any bushel increases from adding cover crops, but the farmer said he is certain the cover crops have cut erosion on his fields.

“With Iowa’s water quality issues it fits in really well with that.

We just think it’s really something we need to be doing,” Wassenaar said.

“We farm lightly rolling ground and erosion can be a factor. We’ve been doing no-till since the early 1990s, and we think cover crops fits the no-till program very nicely.”

AMES — To support farmers’ efforts to continually improve, Practical Farmers of Iowa will host a free webinar series at 7 p.m. every Tuesday now through Dec. 20. Each webinar will feature practical knowledge on a range of topics for row crop, livestock and fruit and vegetable producers, and focuses on a unique production or business management topic. All presentations are led by an experienced farmer or subject-matter expert, and attendees are able to ask questions in real time using a chatbox while they listen and watch a slideshow. Each will last 90 minutes.

Farminar topics this season include high tunnels, the Natural Resources Conservation Service Conservation Stewardship Program, tips on tax preparation for your farm, and maintaining a farm-life balance for fruit and vegetable growers.

Two presentations will be on cover crops.

The full farminar schedule, including titles, descriptions and speaker bios, can be found online at practicalfarmers.org/farminars.

Iowa near the top of U.S. rural income growth AMES — The United States Census Bureau released its report on income and poverty in urban and rural America in September. While the report focused on nationwide trends, Iowa State University associate professor and extension rural sociologist David Peters was more interested in how rural Iowans had been affected over the last decade.

“The results were a bit surprising,” Peters said.

“Despite recent concerns of a decline in rural Iowa’s income, this proved not to be the case. Over the last decade rural households are doing well and, in fact, are doing better than urban Iowans and better than other rural areas in this country.

The statistics certainly fly counter to the narrative that you can’t make a living in rural Iowa.”

The 2015 median household income in rural Iowa was $60,223, almost 11 percent higher than urban incomes ($51,705). Rural Iowans also have become wealthier than rural residents in other states. After being on par with national rural averages prior to 2012, incomes of rural Iowans were about 10 percent higher than those living outside the state.

Peters attributes that steadiness to a decoupling of farm and rural economies. Many rural residents are able to easily commute to larger cities for jobs, meaning that for many residents income is consistent even when farm commodity prices decline.

“Unlike states like Nebraska or the Dakotas, Iowa has a number of fairly good sized cities spread out throughout the state,” Peters said.

“Most rural Iowans can reach one of these cities after driving for only 25-30 minutes. People who choose to live in small towns can still easily be engaged in a meaningful career in larger cities.”

Incomes in rural Iowa have also grown faster than those in urban parts of the state. Since 2005, the median income of rural Iowans has grown by 9.6 percent while urban Iowans have seen their income grow by just 3.7 percent.

Iowa ranks 21st nationally in rural median income, with its rural income growth of nearly 10 percent over the last decade the sixth-highest growth rate in the country. Conversely, Iowa has the 30th highest urban income average and its 3.7 percent growth is 26th-best.

Monroe Continued from Page 1A “We’ve been here once, I didn’t think it would happen again,” Kathy Van Veen said.

“I am a part of the zoning board and we had a really good meeting. A comment I remember the most came from a business owner who said the property I have my business on now was residential. The city council changed it so he could build his business. I think that is a pretty important thing to remember, if we don’t give them a chance, we’re never going to have a business.”

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Monroe resident Kathy Van Veen voices her opinion in favor of the rezoning of Madsen Field to commercial use in order for the contract with Dollar General Corporation to move forward. The vote failed to reach the three-quarter majority it needed to pass, essentially ending the deal to bring a Dollar General to Monroe.

NCSD Continued from Page 1A The installation of the new switch is planned for Nov. 28, which could affect teacher professional development activities scheduled, but there is no school that day when Internet service might be disrupted.

Internet technology will also be needed for the upcoming Smarter Balance assessments the state Department of Education plans to implement in the 2017-18 school year. Superintendent Bob Callaghan said not only are the standards detailed and not likely to be available to districts until July 2017 — seven weeks before the start of the school year — but the testing will go from 90 minutes to eight hours (12 for older students who take science assessments) and the district cost for testing could go from $26,000 to as high as $80,000.

Callaghan also talked about budget concerns based on possible increases of 2.0, 2.25 or 2.5 percent in state aid,

concerned neighbor in the area, said he thought if the measure went

through, he would lose at least one neighbor.

He was also concerned

and how such little new aid would help with rising expenses. Health insurance is expected to be more expensive, “aging,” or teachers and specialists moving one more year up their credential ladders produces $160,000 in increases alone, and any teacher raises from a union settlement are not even on the budget horizon yet.

Callaghan recommended bringing in a consultant whose services are part of the district’s membership dues to the Iowa Association of School Boards.

“We don’t need to get depressed about this,” Callaghan said. “I do not envision our Legislature going up the ladder beyond these percentages.

I don’t do a great job of showing empathy, but it pains me to have to address this. The board feels we should try to keep our talented leaders, but I cannot recommended a wage increase for 2017-18 for administrators, based on what I’m looking at.”

The School Improvement Advisory Committee is set to meet at 5 p.m. Wednesday at

the EJH Beard Center.

A 5 p.m. board work session and a regular board meeting are set for Nov. 28.

In other action Monday, the board: • Approved a resolution for the sale of $10 million in general-obligation bonds. The bonds are being sold in “chunks” to minimize accrued bond interest.

• Approved an application to the School Budget Review Committee for special s p e n d i n g - aut h or it y levy funding for increasing enrollment, open enrollment out, and limited-English proficient student instruction beyond five years. The levy should give the district more than $200,000 of categorical funding for 2017-18 programs from the state, but that is less than the SBRC provided for 2015-16.

• Heard from Desiree Cameron of the Newton Community Education Foundation regarding donations totaling $52,000 from the Elizabeth J. Dickinson Estate. More about these donations will be covered in upcoming

A foursome in their late 60s plays a round of golf.

Chances are that one of them has diabetes.

Meanwhile, their spouses gather to enjoy a few games of bridge. At least one of them – probably the one who chose water over a sugar-sweetened iced tea – has diabetes.

Diabetes is an epidemic since approximately 25 percent of Americans over the age of 60 have it.

Diabetes occurs when your blood sugar gets too high resulting in a variety of potential health problems, including heart disease, nerve damage, eye problems and kidney disease.

The good news is that the medical world knows a great deal more about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes than it did when the parents of the golfers and the bridge players were enjoying their own golden years.

Obviously, some seniors require assistance, especially those with diabetes. There’s a special comfort for those living at a community such as Park Centre. They enjoy security and peace of mind

and can receive caregiving that’s second to none.

Park Centre residents are extremely fortunate thanks to a compassionate, educated staff, as well as the advantage of residing with others who also have diabetes and are overcoming its challenges.

Like other diseases, there are unfortunately many myths and misconceptions about diabetes. Something that should be stressed and understood is that type 2 diabetes can be managed. Whether it’s avoiding it altogether, delaying complications or receiving medication and other treatments, there’s no reason why someone with diabetes cannot live a long, happy and active life.

Generally speaking, someone with type 2 diabetes will likely be instructed to change their diet to a healthier one, to maintain physical activities or increase them, to quit smoking and to test their blood glucose. Medication and/or insulin also could be included in the treatment plan.

“I live in a small town for a reason, to be away from everybody.

You want to build a big building in your backyard, maybe you want to move to a different town,” Carter said. “That is our option if it all goes through.”

Others cited the increase in tax revenue, including $20,000 per year in total property tax with $8,000 going to the city, $10,000 to the Prairie City-Monroe School District and the remaining $2,000 to Jasper County, as pros for the store while those opposed brought up the loss of green space to the city where activities such as mutton bustin’ and

a car show take place during the annual Old Settlers event.

Following the decision, city administrator Matt Mardesen said the deal with DG, Inc. is now void. Moving forward, Mardesen said the only way for a similar deal to go through would be a new proposal by DG. “DG would have to approach the city again and go through the motions,” Mardesen said. “I guess, as I look at this, in order for the sale to go through we have to have it zoned as commercial and it didn’t pass tonight.”

Study Continued from Page 1A Friedman has found when working with developers, they need an independent third party market study to assess the demand and articulate how the project could potentially fit into the market. By conducting the study, potential developers will have the needed information to, among other things, get financing for future projects.

The study is sparked in part by the city’s purchase of the vacant land at the 164 exit on Interstate 80 near Highway 14. Friedman said the area is a prime area for development and has already gained interest from hotel developers.

Patek Hospitality Consultants was selected from a pool of three proposals. The firm was specifically recommended by two hotel developers as an experienced, accurate, value-conscious consultant.

“Based on recommendations from specific hotel companies that it is an outfit that has experience, has worked with the companies before and produces solid, bankable results,” Friedman said.

The proposal is for Patek to analyze the city’s site, provide a market area overview with details on hotel supply and demand, and delineate the projected annual operating results for a new hotel, including occupancy, average daily rate and expenses.

The consulting cost is up to $7,975, payed for using funds from the Southwest TIF District. An added benefit to using Patek is the firms ability to shut down the study if results are not looking favorable for the city.

“Not even to the mid-point of the study, if they determine that it is not going to turn out well for the city, they stop the study, bill for work done, but don’t go through with the whole thing,” Friedman said.

Although that is an option, Friedman is hopeful the study will produce anticipated and much needed results to help the city move forward with new projects.

“We’re optimistic knowing our market has shown grown with increasing hotel/motel tax revenue for multiple years,” Friedman said. “We think that there is room for a new product in our market that won’t just poach off of existing product but will grow the communities hospitality base.”

It ends with a 0

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Nov. 4, 2014. s I turned the page of my calendar Saturday, an event stared me in face. It’s not Thanksgiving or my biggest craft show of the year or even the Wisconsin or Nebraska games at the end of the month. It is my birthday, which this years ends in a big, old 0.

I have to say, it hasn’t caused me much stress or anxiety to turn the big 3-0. It amazes me to think of what I accomplished in my 20s and I am excited to see what will happen the next

A

10 years. In my 20s, I graduated from the best university in the state, which of course is located in Iowa City. Only a few months later I got married and moved in to a brand new house. My husband and I got our dog, Homer, and I started a job I spent six years at before landing at the newspaper.

By far, my biggest achievement has been my two daughters. After having my oldest, my world completely changed and my priorities became straight forward and clear. The surprise arrival of my youngest less than

a year and a half later taught me more about myself, and what I am capable of, then I knew was possible.

Before she was born, I couldn’t understand how I could love and take care of two little people equally and without any favoritism. My husband constantly told me not to worry, and I have to say in this instance he was right. My love grew, not split for both of my girls, and I can’t remember what life without my little family was like before we became five (yes I count my dog always).

I have only had one moment where I heard I was turning 30, and it stopped me in my tracks. It was an ordinary day just walking inside with my dad when he mentioned in less than a month I would be 30. At that

moment, it felt a little older than just the year after 29.

Like I said, right now it seems like my birthday will be more of a nonevent. I’ve planned a day of pampering for myself, visiting my maid-ofhonor to get my hair done, followed by some shopping, a pedicure and lunch at one of my favorite eateries.

That night I will hang out with my family and hopefully have my favorite meal, meatloaf with cheesy potatoes and cheesecake for dessert (hint, hint family).

Then Friday will come and I will be 30 and one day not have to worry about another number for 10 or so years.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

Waiting for the leader Editor’s Note: The following Marc Dion column was originally released in August 2015. Because of the results of the election, we are releasing it again.

The middle and working classes in America are falling behind. Well, the middle class is falling behind. The working class tore up the card in the union they once belonged to and left the world.

And we’re mad. We focus our rage on black people who receive welfare. In America, today, we talk about welfare recipients the way Hitler talked about Jews.

We are “cheated” out of victory in war after war because the enemy won’t “fight fair.” We believe we would have won in Vietnam if we’d just have bombed the place a little more.

We long for some mythical America when you could hit your kids as much as you wanted and call black people anything you wanted. Beating your kids makes them strong, like real Americans.

We love the flag and we orchestrate orgiastic flag displays in front of public buildings and at sporting events where many of the players either weren’t born in this country or were born in the huge, festering ghettoes we maintain as NFL nurseries.

We hate college professors. They make the nation weak with whack-job theories about equality. We hate political correctness. “Why do we have to be so afraid of offending people,” we whine in the tone of the deeply offended.

We want a brutally simple “common sense” approach to government. Term limits. Bombs. No having the “gay agenda crammed down our throats,” whatever, shudder, that means.

We want a return to the real American ethos, to the Puritan, to the cowboy, to the Bible and the pistol.

People who dislike anything we do are “crazy” and they practice a “religion of hate.” Kill ‘em and take their oil.

Our culture is vanishing under a wave of gabbling foreigners. They don’t look like us, they don’t smell like us, and they long to breed with our pale daughters. Sadly, some of our pale daughters have proven to be agreeable, as have some of our whiteskinned sons.

We gotta do something. We gotta find the right man. The true leader. Someone who will, “cut through the red tape” and end the political correctness. That is the reason you don’t have a job. We need someone who will pry the EBT cards out of thousands of greedy, grasping black hands, which will cause greater respect for the flag and bring prayer back to the schools. We want the Muslims rounded up and put somewhere, anywhere. That’ll give your kid a better shot at running a 24-hour convenience store in a bad neighborhood.

Hey, in America, if you’re smart and you work hard, you get rich, no? Well, you’re not rich and you know you’re not lazy or stupid, so someone, probably a welfare mother or a Muslim cab driver, has stolen your opportunity. Get a gun and take it back!

This road only goes one way. Practice saying, “Heil!”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Appreciative of veterans’ coverage Thank you for the story, “Veteran Honored,” printed Nov. 10, front page, about my family receiving my brother, technician William Schmitz, Bronze Star af-

ter 75 years. Jason Brook’s wrote a wonderful story and the pictures are great. Mr. Brooks truly made the ceremony come alive.

I would like to correct one thing. I did not request that elected officials or politicians not attend. They would have been more then welcome. I requested

no politician do the presentation as we wanted a military person to do that.

Thank you again for the publicity. My family and I appreciated it very much. And thank you for letting me do this correction.

Regulations, low commodity prices are key challenges for Iowa ag As the nation’s leading producer of pork, corn, soybeans and eggs, Iowa’s agriculture industry has an enormous impact on the country and the world.

This October, I visited more than a dozen ag businesses, including family farms, to hear about the true state of the agriculture economy in Iowa, and what I have heard and seen on the ground is far different from the rosy picture being painted by the Obama administration.

The agriculture industry is a humble one, filled with fiercely devoted and hardworking Americans. I grew up on a hog, soybean, and corn farm that my family tirelessly tended. Given my agriculture background, I find myself in a unique position as a United States Senator to translate the ag communities’ feedback into action in order to keep these operations alive and well for generations to come.

On my agriculture tour, I met with crop and livestock farmers, equipment dealers, farmer cooperatives, fertilizer manufacturers, processing plants and research facilities to do something different than the status quo in Washington: to listen. What I heard is that burdensome regulations, low commodity prices, and trade restrictions are the biggest issues causing uncertainty for our state’s agriculture industry.

Government over-regulation was the biggest concern acrossthe-board. At a local meat processing facility and deli in Eagle

Another View U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst Grove, it was not a fear of failure that was holding the business back from expanding to other communities, but the headache of dealing with additional government regulations.

I also heard from many of Iowa’s farmers who expressed grave concern over the Obama administration’s proposed rule that would give the EPA extensive power to regulate water on private land under the proposed Waters of the U.S. rule. In fact, WOTUS would expand EPA’s jurisdiction to almost 97 percent of the land in Iowa. I took Iowans’ fight to the United States Senate to eliminate the WOTUS rule in its entirety. My legislation passed through Congress with bipartisan support but was ultimately vetoed by the President who sided with unchecked bureaucrats over Iowa farmers.

Another significant challenge facing our producers is low commodity prices and volatility in the cattle market. When I asked what we can do to help, I heard a resounding push for increasing free trade. According to the Business Roundtable, more than one in every five jobs in Iowa depend on international trade. Trade is critical for not only keeping job stability and

security at home, but expanding Iowa’s products globally. Ninety-five percent of the world’s consumers are outside of the United States, and we need to have access to those markets.

We are seeing an uptick in the demand for protein around the world, and with Iowa producing safe and high quality products, it is a market our farmers want, and should have more access to.

Additionally, in the upcoming year, Congress will begin to consider changes to the existing Farm Bill and it is crucial to understand from the agriculture industry what policies helped, or hurt, from the current version. In some cases, such as the Conservation Reserve Program, clarification on program intent will be part of the conversation.

Recent severe flooding on the eastern side of the state also highlighted the need for crop insurance to remain strong in the Farm Bill. Our producers need to be able to count on its stability, especially during a time where not only the farms, but the entire community, are in need.

Throughout the tour, my longstanding belief in Iowa agriculture was reinforced. Iowa’s ag leaders are the best stewards for the production of safe and affordable food. With this knowledge in hand, I can continue to represent our great state’s largest economic driver in the United States Senate, and make sure our voice is heard.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Police Blotter Newton Police Department • Michael T. Todd, 25, of Newton, is charged with driving while barred after police pulled him over at 1:40 a.m. Nov. 8 in the 100 block of East Fifth Street South. An officer observed Todd’s blue 1998 Dodge Ram with a center brake light out in the 700 block of First Avenue East. Todd’s license was barred Sept. 16 through Sept.

19, 2019.

• Billy Allison, 40, of Whiteville, Tenn., is charged with first-offense operating while under the influence and interference with official acts after police were called at 12:58 a.m. Oct. 31 to a parking spot at 4401 S. 22nd Ave. E. in response to an intoxicated man driving a tractor-trailer. Allison reportedly went to the rear of the cab when an officer arrived.

The witness told police that Al-

lison said he had been drinking at the bar and had approximately 13 beers prior to driving the tractor-trailer. Allison allegedly refused to exit the vehicle and resisted when officers attempted to remove him from the vehicle. The officers used a taser multiple times to gain compliance from Allison.

• Sara J. Schippers, 42, of Newton, is charged with fifth-degree theft after police were called at 4:31 p.m. Nov. 2 to Loves Travel Stop in reference to a theft. Schippers admitted to serving a McDonald’s employee mac and cheese and not taking payment for the item.

• Zachary D. Gressley, 21, of Newton, is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia after police arrested Gressley for driving with a suspended license at 1:26 a.m. Saturday on North Fourth Avenue West.

After Gressley was arrested for driving with a suspended license, police looked in the vehicle for keys and found a grinder with green leafy residue, consistent with marijuana, inside the center console. Gressley denied knowledge of the grinder being in the center console.

IRS warns tax professionals of new e-services email scam The Internal Revenue Service issued an urgent alert to tax professionals who use IRS e-services to beware of an email asking them to update their accounts and directing them to a fake website.

The subject line for the fraudulent email is “Security Awareness for Tax Professionals.” The “From” line is “Your e-Services Team.” It has both an IRS logo and an e-services logo that hyperlinks to a URL verified as a phishing site.

The spoofing site poses as an e-services registration page.

The scammers are attempting to exploit current IRS efforts to strengthen the e-services authentication process and its ongoing communications with tax professionals about their accounts. Scammers are attempting to steal e-services usernames and

passwords or additional personal data through a registration page.

If e-services users have already clicked on the fake logo and provided their username and password, they should contact the e-services help desk to reset their accounts.

If the same password is used for other accounts, these should be changed as well. As an extra precaution, users should perform a deep security scan on their computers, re-evaluate their security controls and be alert to any other signs of identity theft or data compromise.

Tax professionals should always go directly to IRS.gov to access e-services and never click on any links provided in emails.

Tax professionals who receive a suspicious email should send it as an attachment to Phishing@

irs.gov and delete it. Recipients should not click on any links.

The scammer email tells recipients information was stolen from certain user accounts in 2015 from a state-sponsored actor. It says users are being asked to upgrade their e-service account to ensure protection of their information. It asks them to click on the login to access their accounts for security upgrade.

The IRS is in the process of upgrading e-services security and has been in communication with tax professionals about updating their accounts.

The IRS, state tax agencies and tax industry partners working together through the Security Summit have an awareness campaign underway called Protect Your Clients; Protect Yourself.

The objective is to remind

tax professionals they increasingly are the targets of identity thieves seeking ever larger amounts of taxpayer data to file fraudulent tax returns.

Security Summit partners recommend tax professionals: • Always use robust security software • Use encryption software to protect taxpayer data • Use strong passwords and change them often • Learn to recognize phishing emails attempting to steal data • Never click on links or download attachments from suspicious emails • Beware of any communications claiming to be the IRS that are outside normal channels Review Protect Your Clients, Protect Yourself for various steps you can take to protect your customers’ information and your business.

Relatives’ comings and goings leave their sister at a loss DEAR ABBY: My older brother and son live with me. We are all adults, so we don’t need to ask each other’s permission before one of us leaves the house. Out of courtesy, I let them know where I’m going, who I’ll be with, and if I am likely to be out late.

When I’m out, if I realize that I’ll be gone later than I thought, I text them.

To me, this is common courtesy.

My brother and son say goodbye when they leave, but rarely volunteer any information about their plans.

I hate to ask, because they are adults and it’s none of my business, but it just seems rude. I’m often startled when they come home late and I am awakened, until I know it’s them and not someone breaking in. If I wake up and they aren’t home, I worry. Am I right to expect them to tell me where they are going and if they will be late? — ANNOYED SISTER DEAR ANNOYED: To expect to be told where your older brother and adult son are going and with whom seems like a lot of information to demand. However, being informed what time they will be back so you won’t think someone is breaking in not only would be thoughtful but also practical.

DEAR ABBY: I suffer from severe seasonal allergies. I have watery eyes and sneeze during January and February every year. I went to an allergist last winter, but he couldn’t do much for me.

As I struggle to get through my days as quietly as possible, every sneeze seemingly elicits a “God bless you” from some stranger. If I’m unable to acknowledge it, I often get a “Well, thank you!” or some other show of indignation.

Abby, I don’t need “blessings.” Calling attention to my difficulties, frankly, just annoys and embarrasses me. I am trying the best I can to be quiet and avoid disruption. Can you please ask your many readers to end this an-

cient, silly convention and let those of us with allergies suffer in peace? — ATCHOO IN KANSAS CITY DEAR ATCHOO: No. The “God bless you” convention originated in the Middle Ages. People thought that when someone sneezed the soul left the body for a minute, and would be snatched by the devil if someone didn’t say “God bless you.” Those who say it today may be doing it because it has become a conditioned reflex, or to be polite. Accept the kind gesture and kwitchurbitchin.

DEAR ABBY: After becoming engaged recently, I was excited to ask my best friend to be my bridesmaid.

However, her husband can’t stand the thought of her getting dolled up and walking down the aisle after the ceremony with another man.

I want to be respectful, but this just seems over the top. Their daughters will be flower girls. I don’t understand why this is an issue. Would it be best for her to just attend the wedding?

This is breaking my heart. What’s a bride to do? — RESPECTFUL IN KENTUCKY DEAR RESPECTFUL: Your friend’s husband appears to be insecure and controlling. Your next move should be to ask your friend how she plans to handle this — so that she and the girls can be replaced if necessary.

1 Family saddened by theft of roadside memorial

DOUGHERTY — Family and friends of a Mason City resident killed five years ago in a truck crash say they are disturbed that someone stole an item left at a roadside memorial to the man. Heidi Hanson, of Mason City, said there isn’t a gravesite for her father, Marlin Hanson, so relatives and friends visit a memorial at the site near Dougherty where he died in a 2011 grain truck crash. In October, they pounded in a wind vane with an eagle cutout, as Hanson loved the birds.

to costly power line burials

FORT DODGE — Some Fort Dodge businesses are opposing efforts to bury power lines that now stretch overhead through the city. The city council on Monday took up a proposal to bury power lines along 15th Street at an estimated cost of $1.5 million, but business representatives objected because of the cost. Ratepayers pay to bury lines and it can amount to a big bill for companies that use lots of electricity.

LEON — Police in the southern Iowa city of Leon are investigating what authorities are calling a suspicious death.

Leon police, with help from the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, responded to a home Sunday morning after two people found a man’s body. The body was identified Monday as 53-year-old Steven Dabb, of Leon. The body was in a home where Dabb lived that had recently been destroyed by fire.

Police say an autopsy didn’t find “major trauma” to the body.

DUBUQUE — More than a dozen people complained to the Dubuque school board about a book used in class and asked officials to consider a policy for material some consider obscene. Thirteen people objected Monday to the book, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” The discussion followed a parent’s challenge of the book being used at Hempstead High School. Jodi Lockwood says she was surprised at what she called the book’s “graphic sex scenes” and depictions of drugs and alcohol use.

Oil pipeline protests planned nationwide BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Some 200 rallies protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline are slated Tuesday across the United States, at such locations as Army Corps of Engineers offices, federal buildings and banks that have helped finance the project.

Pipeline opponents are seeking to draw the attention of President Barack Obama and get his administration to reject a crossing at a Missouri River reservoir in southern North Dakota. On Monday, the Army Corps said it had completed its review of the disputed pipeline but wanted more study and input from tribes before announcing its support for the crossing.

Here’s a guide to the latest developments and key background about the protest: HOW WE GOT HERE Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners obtained feder-

other tribes and environmental groups say that the pipeline could threaten water supplies for millions, since it will cross the Missouri River, as well as harm sacred sites and artifacts.

Since April, tribal protests have grown considerably at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers. Nearly 500 have been arrested, including Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault II, as the protest has grown in size.

The pipeline would carry a half-million barrels of crude oil daily from western North Dakota’s oil fields through South Dakota and Iowa to an exist-

Supporters say the pipeline would create more markets and reduce truck and oil train traffic.

Iowa State President had earlier ‘hard landing’ AMES (AP) — Iowa State University President Steven Leath damaged a private plane in a hard landing in 2014, 11 months before he banged up a university aircraft in remarkably similar fashion, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Leath was flying in gusty conditions on Aug. 11, 2014 and “landed hard” in a crosswind, causing propeller damage that he discovered the next day, according to university records released under the open records law.

The documents show that the university didn’t fully disclose information about both incidents in

E

its application for aviation insurance earlier this year. It’s not clear whether this might affect the policy, which covers millions of dollars in liability and damage for both university planes. The policy, which cost $51,000 in premiums, contains a warning that it will be voided “if you have concealed or misrepresented any material fact.”

Despite the 2014 incident, Leath was cleared to fly solo on the university’s newly purchased Cirrus SR22 single-engine plane just two months later, records show. Leath damaged that $498,000 plane in a hard landing in July 2015 in Bloomington, Illinois, while he and his

wife were flying home from a North Carolina vacation. He also blamed that incident on windy conditions.

AP’s revelation of that accident and other questionable trips by Leath, a private pilot, has prompted the Iowa Board of Regents to conduct an audit of university flights. Authorities are awaiting the audit’s conclusions before determining whether to open a criminal investigation of Leath, who paid back $17,500 for accident costs and vowed to stop flying himself. Leath has expressed regret but denied violating policies or a law barring the use of state assets for private gain.

IN THE COURTROOM The Standing Rock Sioux, whose reservation straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border, are suing federal regulators for approving the oil pipeline. They have challenged the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ decision to grant permits at more than 200 water crossings and argue that the pipeline would be placed less than a mile upstream of the res-

ervation, potentially affecting drinking water for more than 8,000 tribal members and millions downstream.

The tribe hasn’t fared well in court so far. A federal judge in September denied its request to block construction of the entire pipeline and an appeal is pending in federal court.

WHAT’S THE TIMETABLE? The Army Corps of Engineers on Monday said it has finished a review of the disputed Dakota Access pipeline but wants more study and tribal input before deciding whether to allow it to cross under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota. Energy Transfer Partners said it will finish the pipeline by Dec. 1 except for a small disputed section in North Dakota, and expects it to begin moving crude in the first quarter next year if the government clears the final obstacle.

the alliance to the trans-Atlantic relationship.

Without mentioning Trump by name, Obama told Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos that a strong NATO is of “utmost importance” and would provide “significant continuity even as we see a transition in government in the United States.”

Pavlopoulos, for his part, thanked Obama for U.S. support of the Greek people in a time of social and economic crisis, and said he was confident that Trump “will continue on the same path.”

Trump’s election has generated significant unease in Europe because of his tough talk during the campaign suggesting the U.S. might

10 things to know for today Newton Daily News Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today: 1. WHAT OBAMA IS AIMING TO DO OVERSEAS In Greece, Germany and Peru, the president is hoping to reassure America’s allies of the steadiness of U.S. resolve and its reliability as a security partner.

2. WHO IS FAVORED FOR TOP DIPLOMATIC POST Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a man with little foreign policy

experience, is emerging as the favorite to serve as secretary of state in a new Trump administration.

3. ROE V. WADE IN JEOPARDY IN A TRUMP PRESIDENCY If a reconfigured Supreme Court did overturn it, some states could protest abortion access, others may enact tough bans, and many would struggle over what new limits they might impose.

4. HOW MEXICO VIEWS MASS DEPORTATIONS FROM USA There are no jobs for them, billions of dollars in remittances would be lost and drug cartels might try to recruit

pull out of the NATO alliance if other countries don’t pay more.

Obama’s reassurances reflect an attempt to ease the deep concerns about Trump and the future of America’s treaty alliances. Yet they may be greeted with skepticism: For months throughout the campaign, Obama repeatedly assured world leaders

returnees.

5. WOMAN PARTY BOSS, RARE IN ARAB WORLD, CRACKS GLASS CEILING Moroccan Nabila Mounib is still a rarity in the region — a female politician in a leadership position.

6. SOME DRIVEN TO PLEAD GUILTY, LATER EXONERATED More than 300 of the more than 1,900 people who have been exonerated in the U.S. since 1989 pleaded guilty, registry data find.

in public and private that Trump would not be elected, only to see him emerge victorious from last week’s election.

Obama also met Tuesday with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, and offered a welcome message of support for the Greeks as they struggle with both economic woes and a huge influx of refugees.

8. SO LONG, PINK MOUSTACHE Ride-hailing service Lyft, the underdog rival to Uber, is getting rid of its iconic facial hair logo and replacing it with something more useful — beacons.

Hawks’ dozen receive Class A District 6 honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Facing a 14-0 halftime deficit, Lynnville-Sully’s football team rallied to defeat visiting New London, 19-14, in Class A District 6 play with two weeks remaining in the 2016 regular season. It is a game Lynnville-Sully head coach Mike Parkinson points to as testament to the character of the Hawk football squad.

The Hawks were a balanced team with offense and defense in 2016. They had 12 players receive postseason honors from Class A District 6 coaches — six offense and six defense. The truth is most of the Lynnville-Sully players played on both sides of the football during the season.

Defensively, the Hawks allowed 8.7 points per game in their 8-2 season. They were 6-1 in district play, losing to Montezuma in the final regular-season game. Lynnville-Sully held defending Class A champion Gladbrook-Reinbeck to its second-lowest scoring output of the season in a first-round playoff loss, 13-6.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck plays for a second straight Class A title Thursday against Bishop Garrigan at the UNI-Dome.

Two major cogs in the Hawk defense were senior linebackers Ryan Hofer and Dylan Roozeboom. Hofer, 6-foot-1 inch and 175 pounds, was named the Class A District 6 Defensive MVP. Roozeboom, senior defensive back Caden Dunsbergen and junior defensive back Carson Dunsbergen were selected to the All-Class A District 6 first team with Hofer.

Also garnering All-Class A District 6 first team honors were senior offensive lineman Trevor Squires, junior wide receiver Brevin Hansen and junior running back Sage Zylstra.

Named to the All-Class A District 6 second team were junior defensive lineman Jesse Van Wyke and sophomore running back Evn Squires.

Earning District 6 honorable mention honors were junior and senior quarterbacks Eliiah Collins and Tyler an Zante and junior defensive lineman Corey McCoy. Hofer led his team and District 6 in tackles with 53 solo tackles and 19.5 assisted tackles. He had 16 tackles for loss, one quarterback sack and one fumble recovery. Rooze-

Van Wyk, who is 6-foot-2 inches and 190 pounds, finished with 13 solo tackles and 16 assisted tackles. He had seven tackles for loss and three quarterback sacks.

Lynnville-Sully made the most of the talents of two quarterbacks late in the season. Van Zante, a 6-foot, 170-pound senior, started

the season but was injured.

Collins, a 5-foot-10 inch, 155-pound junior, stepped in and led the Hawks. At the end of the season, both players used their McCoy talents to put the Hawks into the Class A playoffs.

Collins finished second in District 6 with 790 yards passing, going 57-of-108. He had 13 TD passes and four interceptions. He rushed for 85 yards on 32 carries.

Van Zante was fifth in the district with 419 yards on 33of-52 passing. Van Zante had two TD passes and six interceptions, and he rushed for 32 yards on 11 carries.

McCoy was one the top tacklers for the Hawks from his defensive end spot. The 6-foot-4 inch, 180-pound junior had six quarterback sacks and six tackles for loss.

He had 24 solo tackles and 6.5 assisted tackles.

No. 20 Iowa State beats Mount St. Mary’s AMES (AP) — Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said last month forward Deonte Burton’s goal should be to get a double-double every game.

Burton got his first one out of the way Monday night, helping the 20th-ranked Cyclones through their first bout of minor adversity this season.

Monte Morris scored 18 points, Matt Thomas added 13 and Iowa State beat Mount St. Mary’s 73-55.

Burton had 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Cyclones (2-0), who’ve won their first two games by an average of 30 points.

“He’s made such great strides.

I’m very, very proud of him. But now he’s got to continue to push himself to make the next step,” Prohm said.

Mount St. Mary’s (0-2) got within 10 early in the second half, but six Cyclones scored during a 15-1 run that put the game out of reach.

Iowa State outrebounded

Mount St. Mary’s 50-38, but it also shot an uncharacteristic 4 of 16 from 3-point range.

Nick Weiler-Babb scored 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting and pulled down five rebounds for the Cyclones.

Elijah Long, the brother of Iowa State’s Naz Mitrou-Long, had 19 points to lead the Mountaineers.

Iowa State announced before the game that reserve Simeon Carter had been suspended three games for violating team rules.

It’s yet another setback for the once-promising recruit, who appears to be out of Prohm’s rotation for the second year in a row.

Iowa State honored former player Bryce Dejean-Jones, who was killed over the summer after a promising rookie season with the New Orleans Pelicans, by wearing AP Photo warmup shirts with his number.

Logano wins, completes final four with Kyle Busch AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Matt Kenseth’s misfortune gave Joey Logano a chance to race for the championship.

In an improbable turn of events, Kenseth came within two laps of a spot in next week in the title-deciding finale to eliminated from NASCAR’s playoffs. Logano was gifted a victory Sunday that put him in the final four after a tense double-overtime event at Phoenix International Raceway.

Kenseth had the win in hand until a late caution sent the race to extra laps. Although he cleared traffic on the restart, his teammate Kyle Busch had con-

tact with Alex Bowman that altered Bowman’s racing line.

Kenseth’s spotter told the driver he was clear, but he actually cut down on Bowman and the contact caused him to crash.

Logano saw the sequence unfolding, let off his gas early, and slid into the lead after the accident. He then held off Busch in the second overtime for the win that qualified him for the championship next week at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Logano won the race — the second time in this Chase he used a victory in an elimination race to advance — and will race

for his first Sprint Cup title next Sunday.

Busch finished second and earned a chance to defend last year’s title. He’ll meet Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson, who is seeking a record-tying seventh championship, in Homestead.

Eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday were Kevin Harvick, an eight-time winner at Phoenix who had raced in the last two finales, as well as his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch.

Gibbs drivers Kenseth and Denny Hamlin also were knocked out of the field.

Iowa’s win over Michigan jumbles up Big Ten title race IOWA CITY (AP) — It turns out that Iowa might have a say in the Big Ten title race after all.

By stunning Michigan 14-13 on Saturday, the Hawkeyes made it possible for a two-loss team to represent the powerful East division in the conference championship game — and for the once-unthinkable prospect of a playoff without the Big Ten. It can no longer be assumed that the annual rivalry game between the Wolverines (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) and Ohio State (9-1, 6-1) will determine the league’s playoff representative.

That’s because Penn State (8-2, 6-1), which beat the Buckeyes two weeks ago, has joined Michigan and Ohio State atop the East.

If Michigan wins out, including beating Ohio State in regular-season finale in two weeks, the Wolverines move on to the Big Ten title game.

If Ohio State and Penn State win out, the Nittany Lions would win the East, leaving the Buckeyes out of a chance to win the conference title while likely being the Big Ten’s highest ranked team.

A loss by Penn State to either Rutgers or Michigan State in the next two weeks is what Ohio State needs to regain control of the East.

That seems unlikely, but so was the idea of Iowa (6-4, 4-3), a 24-point underdog, finding itself it time to stun Big Blue.

“Give Iowa credit. They tackled. They blocked. They played a very good football game.

So, congratulate them and we move on,” Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said.

That’s exactly what Michigan needs to do, because if it wins out, it should be in the playoffs.

But the Wolverines’ resume still took a hit on Saturday.

Overshadowed by all of its big wins was the fact that Michigan didn’t have a single significant road win. Michigan State and Rutgers, the only teams Michigan had beaten away from

Ann Arbor, had yet to win a Big Ten game until the Spartans throttled the Scarlet Knights on Saturday.

On a windy and chilly night in Iowa City, the Wolverines wilted.

The nation’s topranked scoring defense allowed Iowa to score a touchdown on fourth down on a perfectly timed screen pass.

On the biggest play from scrimmage, it let Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard run for a first down that set up the game-winning kick — after a facemask that gave Iowa 15 free yards.

Michigan’s offense, which had scored 49 points against Penn State, 78 against Rutgers and 59 against Maryland, gained just 201 yards. Wilton Speight missed a litany of deep balls, going just 11-of26 passing and throwing a pick to true freshman Manny Rugamba late in the fourth quarter.

“There’s absolutely no excuse. We’ve got to be a lot better than we (were Saturday),” tight end Jake Butt said.

Iowa’s performance kept it alive in the West race, though just barely.

Wisconsin (8-2, 5-2), by virtue of its win over Nebraska (8-2, 5-2), is in position to face whatever team the East sends to Indianapolis for the title game. The Badgers might also be in position to steal a playoff spot, should they win out and see more upsets like the ones that occurred on Saturday further shake up the postseason picture.

But Iowa answered for one of its worst losses in years, a 41-14 wipeout at Penn State, with a win that was more about culture than talent.

“You’ve only got two options. You surrender and mope and feel sorry for yourself, or you do something about it,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “Don’t think that we weren’t thinking about that on Saturday night coming home.

But it’s more about just the way we operate and what our response is going to be. And we knew this was going to be a tough task.”

Manning throws three TDs as gambling Giants beat Bengals EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Eli Manning threw his third touchdown pass of the game on a fourthdown gamble by coach rookie Ben McAdoo, and the New York Giants beat the Cincinnati Bengals 21-20 Monday night for their first four-game winning streak since 2013.

Manning threw scoring passes of 10 yards apiece to rookie Jerrell Adams and Odell Beckham in the first half and a game-winning 3-yarder to rookie Sterling Shepard on a daring call with New York (6-3) down 20-14 early in the fourth quarter.

The Giants defense took over from there, closing it out on Landon Collins’ fourth interception in the past three games and two stops, the last on consecutive sacks of Andy Dalton with less than five minutes to play.

Dalton threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green and Jeremy Hill scored on a 9-yard run that was set up by an 84-yard kickoff return by Alex Erickson to start the second half.

Mike Nugent kicked two field goals for Cincinnati (3-5-1), the second giving the Bengals a 20-14 lead early in

the third quarter.

The Giants had a 14-10 halftime lead. Manning (28-of-44 for 240 yards with two interceptions) capped an 80yard opening drive with his pass to Adams. He hit Beckham (10 catches for 97 yards) on New York’s final drive of the half.

A 71-yard pass from Dalton (16of-29 for 204 yards) to tight end Tyler Eifert set up Green’s touchdown, and an interception by Dre Kirkpatrick led to Nugent’s first field goal, which was disappointing since Cincinnati had first-and-goal at the Giants 7 after the return.

Ring of Honor The Giants inducted two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Tom Coughlin, defensive end Justin Tuck and former general manager Ernie Accorsi into their Ring of Honor. Coughlin, who stepped down after last season, was the last to be introduced and he started by saying he wasn’t going to be “cheated” in giving his acceptance speech. He wasn’t. He spoke so long the teams had to wait for the second half to start.

Gemini lunar advice: There are people in our lives that we don’t enjoy much, and yet they still serve an important role.

Maybe they keep us in check.

Or maybe they push us out of our comfort zones. Either way, we don’t have to like them in order for them to be useful.

Maybe they even enhance our lives more because of the wrong way they rub us.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). You’re only greedy for the best things in life: love, beauty and truth. Because you seek them, this year will be unprecedented in its good fortune.

The next 10 weeks will bring the presents straight to you, but

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

If you choose to speak up on matters (and there’s much worth considering that will pull you in the opposite direction) then speak clearly and from a place of total knowledge.

just working deeper and wider.

Whatever it is, you’ll get it today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Strategy is not needed in all relationships. Those open, comfortable relationships are so precious because you don’t need to overthink anything.

Still, those relationships require care, too: Think of it as maintenance.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ve developed quite a few ways of working around the people who stand in your way. When these are the same people you love with all your heart, it’s harder -- but still possible, if that’s what’s necessary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This

is your life. You’re sharing it so nicely, but still... it’s yours.

What about an adventure you go on by yourself? That hasn’t happened recently, if only because you haven’t made it happen. Now is as good a time as any!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The “What if?” game is a good way to break out of the confines holding you today.

Get thinking about those “ifs,” because some of them may actually be true.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Impulsiveness can be a good quality or a bad one. You’re not usually given to act on impulse, though you’ll definitely feel them tapping your psyche today. To feel it is one thing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Whomever it is you’re mad at, make up. Don’t do it for them; do it for you. Your energy flying in that direction could be better spent. There are opportunities coming your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s the simple things.

Love people who love you back. Eat foods that agree with you. Move your body and you’ll move your life. You’ll think better when you drink more water.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not everyone is going to be happy; that’s a given. And yet, if you’re doing your best,

isn’t it really (SET ITAL) their (END ITAL) fault for setting an unrealistic expectation?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

First, just know that you don’t have to have all of the answers.

You don’t even have to have one of them. Secondly, before you answer, think about how your answer is likely to change things.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Here’s some great news: Your best is totally good enough!

You have moxie. You have style. You have guts. And you’re in the perfect place to use all of that for good.
