and connect it to green, eco-friendly improvements across the western side of downtown Newton.

Costs and measurements and engineering were not part of the assignment.

The students were brought in after Jeff Davidson, the community coach for Jasper County Hometown Pride, approached ISU’s outreach department about involving landscape design students. Wednesday, at the Maytag Innovation Center, 11 students presented strictly conceptual designs for feedback

A new parking snow removal ordinance will go into effect following the first substantial snow fall this season.

The ordinance, which passed its final reading and was adopted by the Newton City Council, will have vehicles moved from the street starting at 2 inches of snow accumulation.

The previous parking snow ordinance prohibits vehicles from parkHansen ing on the streets, except in the downtown district, from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. during a snow event. With the change, once snow accumulation reaches 2 inches, a vehicle would need to be removed from the street, except in the downtown district. Vehicles would be allowed back on the street once the street has been plowed full width.

In his presentation to the council, public works operations superintendent Jody Rohn said the city is trying to be as least restrictive as possible while still getting the cars off of the road so it can be fully plowed, reducing the amount of piles of snow left behind.

The change would help clear the roads if a snow event should occur during the day when residential onstreet parking currently prevents crews from effectively clearing the road. It would also get the snow off of the road

Ideas abound for green space at DMACC-Maytag ISU landscaping students present conceptual drawings

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News There are many ways DMACC could utilize the $8 million worth of buildings and property it recently acquired from its donation of the former Maytag Corporate campus from a Grinnell businessman.

Some students from the Iowa State University landscape architecture program were asked to create some designs for how to use green space within that

section of Newton.

As a class project, students enrolled in both undergraduate and graduate-level courses, made a recent visit to examine what has became a larger DMACC campus — the active DMACC main classroom building and the Career Academy, the seven Maytag cooperate buildings and the green space in between them.

Their project was to design concepts for ways to best utilize the green space

fits and reasons for the parks office to remain at the Krumm Center at Agnes Patterson Park, instead of moving to the Maytag house, which has been proposed.

“One hundred dollars a month rent of the Krumm Center is an unheard of cost for a city office/meeting place. It

is a showcase for the City of Newton,” Miller said.

She also spoke about the partnership between the public entity and the civic, nonprofit organization, which she said is one of the best relationships in the community.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Due to age and condition, the Newton Park Board has been exploring options to restore the caretaker’s house at Maytag Park and look for new ways to utilize the building.

One option discussed is moving the parks office from the Krumm Center at Agnes Patterson Park, which has brought some resistance from Project AWAKE members, who own and rent the building to the city.

Armed robbery suspect remains at-large An armed robbery suspect remains at-large after an early Wednesday morning incident at New Star convenience store in Newton.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said there were no new leads as of Wednesday afternoon, despite numerous tips.

Burdess said they have checked into every tip they have received, including social media tips.

“We love tips, but we’ve got to follow up to check their credibility,” Burdess said.

The suspect displayed what appeared to be a semi-automatic pistol at store employees and demanded money at New Star, 702 First Ave. E., just before 1 a.m., according to Burdess.

He is described as a white male, 6-foot-1inch tall, with long dark hair. He was wearing dark clothing with a hooded jacket.

The suspect fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money by the time officers arrived.

Thanksgiving food safety Iowa Department of Public Health ​Whether you’re the goto grandma who always hosts Thanksgiving dinner or the first-time novice, preparing a holiday meal is an undertaking that requires planning, skill, patience, and most importantly, attention to food Quinlisk safety. The Iowa Department of Public Health reminds Iowans to take special care when preparing foods for Thanksgiving.

“When large gatherings like holiday-related meals happen, we typically hear about people getting ill with diarrhea and vomiting from foodborne illnesses,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “Most of these illnesses are caused by foods that are improperly cooked or stored.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, foodborne illness affects 48 million Americans, causes 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths annually.

Anyone, regardless of race, age, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, is at risk. People at the highest risk of becoming very sick from a foodborne illness are the elderly, children, individuals with a weakened immune system, and pregnant women.

Fortunately, most people recover from foodborne illnesses without complications, but symptoms can last anywhere from hours to weeks.

When preparing a turkey, be aware of four main safety issues: thawing, preparing, stuffing and cooking to adequate temperature.

Thawing: There are three safe ways to thaw a turkey - in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in a microwave oven. When thawing in the refrigerator, allow 24 hours of thawing time for every five pounds of turkey. Place the turkey in a container to prevent the juices from dripping on other foods. A thawed turkey can remain in the refrigerator for one or two days before cooking.

When using a microwave, check the manufacturer’s instructions for the number of minutes per pound and the appropriate power level to use for thawing. Plan to cook the

turkey immediately after thawing since some areas of the bird may become warm and begin to cook during microwaving.

When thawing in cold water, allow 30 minutes per pound of turkey and change the water every 30 minutes. Be sure the turkey is in a leak-proof plastic bag to prevent cross-contamination and to prevent the turkey from absorbing water, resulting in a watery product. A turkey thawed by the cold water method should be cooked immediately.

Preparing: After working with raw poultry, always wash your hands, utensils, and work surfaces before they touch other foods.Stuffing: For optimal safety, cook the stuffing outside the turkey in a casserole dish; however, if you place stuffing inside the turkey, do so just before cooking and use a food thermometer.

Make sure the center of the stuffing reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking: Set the oven temperature no lower than 325°F and be sure the turkey is completely thawed.

Place turkey breast-side up on a flat wire rack in a shallow roasting pan 2 to 2-1/2 inches deep. Check

the internal temperature at the center of the stuffing and meaty portion of the breast, thigh, and wing joint using a food thermometer.

Cooking times will vary. The food thermometer must reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F. Let the turkey stand 20 minutes before removing all stuffing from the cavity and carving the meat.

Remember to refrigerate food promptly after the meal. Discard any food left out more than two hours. Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water when preparing food and serving. Always wash cutting boards, dishes, utensils and countertops with hot, soapy water after preparing each food item and before going on to the next. Lastly, you should not prepare or touch food meant for others if you are ill.

If you suspect food poisoning after consuming an item from a restaurant, grocery store, convenience store, market or public gathering, call IDPH’s IowaSic hotline at 1-844-469-2742.

quicker, preventing a large build up of snow which can occur when crews waited until the overnight hours for the vehicles to be moved.

The public works department revisited the issue after receiving many complaints from citizens during snow events. In a review of the previous system, residential on-street parking during the day prevented crews from effectively clearing the street where vehicles are parked. The snow then becomes packed on the street and became treacherous to motorists and damaging to snow plows during future snowfalls.

To notify citizens and visitors, new signage would be placed at multiple entrances to the city. The snow will be measured at the Public Works building with notification available through The Snow Line at 641-791-SNOW. “There will be a time period of adjustment for our community as we convert from a time

The suspect fled on foot north before getting into a white, older model four-door car which traveled north from the 100 block of East Seventh Street North.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Newton Police Department at 641791-0850. More information will be released as the investigation continues.

The suspect faces a first-degree robbery charge, a Class B felony.

Burdess said there hasn’t been an armed robbery in the county since the Casey’s General store robberies last fall.

In an open house format, community members reviewed large printed designs and submitted written feedback to ISU assistant professor Caroline Westort.

The students will make revisions, based on the feedback and will make a public presentation to ISU faculty from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Dec. 9 at the university’s College of Design.

“This project turned out to be suitable for our 10 fifth-year undergraduate students and one graduate student,” Westort said. “This is the kind of work I love.

The students can really feel good about designs that will really help enhance a community, if adopted.”

Citizens will be given a grace period during the transition to give citizens time to acclimate to the change. Rohn recommended illegally parked vehicles be given a warning during the Newton only reimburses ISU about $500 for expenses. A final book of designs will be submitted, and DMACC or the city can then utilize those designs at any point but is under no obligation to do so.

“This is all preliminary,” Davidson said.

“This is mostly to get the conversation going about how to use the green space and the rest of the campus.”

Designs were also supposed to provide a “green” presence around downtown Newton, though some focused much more detail on the rectangular green space between the buildings.

Nearly all of the designs took into account the senior living facilities along North Fourth Avenue. Some of the designs involved buildings being replaced or heavily modified.

One concept included a rooftop green space along Maytag Buildings 16 and 17, with an out-

first two snow events after the change.

Other recent changes to the snow removal policy is the utilization of snowplow trucks with wing blades that enable staff to cover two12 hour shirts and the building of a new sand shed to increase the amount of sand that can be stored.

City council also approved the purchase of a 12-foot reversible snow plow that mounts on an existing front end loader for $13,690 from Trans Iowa Equipment in Ankeny.

The front-end loader reversible snow plow will be used primarily for cleaning parking lots, downtown alleys and for clean up in the downtown snow removal district. It allows for down pressure from the loader for better pealing of compacted snow and ice, especially in the gutter and parking spaces.

The plow will be paid for utilizing funds from the City Road Use Tax Fund.

Parks Continued from Page 1A the meeting area on a regular basis and the building being staffed to maintain a presence at the arboretum for park guests, she feels it is in the best interest for both parties to continue on at the Krumm Center “The cost of converting and maintaining an old residence into a public office is high. There are small rooms and hallways and traffic in and out of the cottage was a problem that triggered the move,” Miller said. “The stream Miller of children walking through the park were endangered with the constant backing up of traffic in the office.”

Former Project AWAKE member Dwight Stanfield spoke about concerns he had about the future of the arboretum if the city no longer has a presence there.

“If the City of Newton does not provide monetary support to Project AWAKE the arboretum will be jeopardized in the near future,” Stanfield said.

Public Works Director Keith Laube explained how the idea of moving the park office to Maytag first became an option. Due to the status of the house, restoration work will need to be completed in the near future to maintain the residence including a new roof, electrical work, heating and plumbing updates and general maintenance.

“The house hasn’t had anything done to it for about 40 years,” Laube said.

If the city does work to restore the property, an option for its use was for the park office, which was formerly at the location. The move would help centralize park employees and give more of a presence at the busy park.

The park board was not ready to make any decisions on moving the office during the meeting but did vote to form a sub-committee to gather information and possible uses for both the Maytag Park building and the Krumm Center. Members of the board acknowledged the importance on keeping some kind of presence at the Krumm Center, even if it isn’t the parks department.

If an organization or business is interested in renting either location for office space or another use, they are encouraged to contact parks administrator Nathan Unsworth at 641-792-1470.

Caramelcoated Election Day W

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Nov. 17, 2016

Trending Mike Mendenhall

hen I go to cast my ballot on Election Day, I think of caramel corn. I swear, when I walk into that voting booth I can smell those sweet and salty puffy kernels.

My mom’s polling place in the late 1980s through 2012 was a small community center on Maury Street on the Des Moines eastside. She took me along on voting day. It might have been to expose me to the voting process early in my life in the hopes that I would one day be consistent in performing my civic duty, but it was more likely because it was cheaper and easier than hiring a sitter for an hour.

The poll workers at the community center were in their 60s and 70s, probably retirees who have learned the importance of our democratic process through the decades. But 11 hours at the polls deserves a treat beyond social scientific

satisfaction. The volunteers on Maury always had a fresh batch of caramel corn to share. They drizzled the hot caramel at the polling place to make sure it was fresh, and the smell filled the cement and wood-paneled voting hall.

As an absolutely adorable 4-year-old, sometimes I’d get to have a handful myself.

As an absolutely adorable 31-yearold, I was so consumed with covering our local elections that I haven’t taken the time to comment on the conclusion of this crazy national election cycle. For the second time in my three decades as an American we are about to inaugurate a president who won the race for the Oval Office but lost the nationwide popular vote.

As of Tuesday, Politico reported Clinton’s popular vote lead at 1,002,049. That is a lot of card punches, Scantron circles and lever pulls.

According to Factcheck.org — a project of The Annenburg Public Policy Center — and my high school government class, the electoral college was developed by the framers of our constitution because “they didn’t trust direct democracy.” In fact, when American voters go to the polls they are not actually directly voting for a presidential candidate, they are voting for a slate of electors. Each state has electors equal to the sum of their U.S. Senators and U.S. Congressional Representatives.

The electoral college does have a more noble purpose than distrust of the electorate. It makes rural, less populous states matter. The 2.1 million registered voters of Iowa would never get as much as a postcard from presidential candidates if the state’s electoral college didn’t offer a solid six votes toward the magic number of 270. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would have spent most of their times in the population centers — New York, Chicago, L.A., Dallas, etc. Their resources would be spent where they can reach the most voters in one swoop.

But the true will of the majority of the American electorate wasn’t reflected in

the final outcome this Election Day. This is only the fifth time in U.S. history this has happened, but the Electoral College victories of George W. Bush in 2000 and now Trump and the loss of the popular vote reveal something more than just a flawed system. It shows a stark separation in philosophies between rural and urban America. It shows a population going in two very different directions — for now.

There are still common bonds. Freedom of speech, religion and the ability to shape our own destinies are all very American traits we all share, despite the vitriol of the last 15 months. We’re experiencing a truly transformative era in our county as significant as the Civil War, the civil rights movement, women’s suffrage and World War II. As President Obama often says, “democracy is messy.”

He’s right. We’ll get through this tension just as we have in the past, we just have to continue to love and respect one another while seeing past our social differences.

Oh, and caramel corn. I bet we could all share caramel corn.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Stricken with West Nile

Randy Stroud, of Mt. Pleasant, is a large man, well over 6 feet tall. He used to weigh about 270 pounds. He is also a well-known business owner in Mt. Pleasant and marathon runner. So, when he came down with a backache after doing yard work in September, he and his wife, Marcy, didn’t think too much of it. Formerly from Indiana, Randy took off with a buddy for a Notre Dame versus Duke football game. When he returned, the backache had spread up his back. Within a couple of days, he was vomiting and had an unbearable headache. They knew something was wrong.

After multiple trips to two different emergency rooms, a doctor’s office visit and an admission to the University of Iowa Hospital, a spinal tap revealed West Nile virus caused by a mosquito bite.(Wear bug repellant!) Note: West Nile virus has all but been forgotten in the wake of the Zika virus, also spread by mosquitoes. But trust Randy Stroud on this one, West Nile virus is still around. And deadly.

Some people, when they get West Nile virus, don’t even know it. They may have flu-like symptoms and then recover. For others, like Randy, who also had encephalitis in 2001, it can be nearly fatal. Iowa recently recorded its first West Nile virus death in six years. Randy Stroud was close to being its second.

Very close. In fact, Randy thought he was going to die. He asked a priest for last rites and they were delivered — something Randy doesn’t remember. A University of Iowa immunologist informed Marcy that Randy’s case was one-in-ten-million, and that it could be fatal.

Through the month of October, Randy didn’t sleep more than 45 minutes at a time. He was feverish and his entire body was racked with horrifying tremors that included his spleen, making it difficult to breathe.

He had opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome — tremors of the eye and eye lid. He couldn’t remember where he lived, or how to write his name, or how to form letters. If he hadn’t been in such good physical condition from running, he probably would have died.

Specialists at the University of Iowa Hospital paraded by to witness the one-in-ten-million case of West Nile virus. He was given three doses of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) infusions of a highly purified, carefully screened blood product that comes from the plasma of 10,000 to 50,000 donors, hoping there would be an antibody that would fight the infection.

(Think mega bucks.) He was also given three massive doses of prednisone, which caused psychosis. There were times when Marcy couldn’t watch the agony her husband was going through. She had to leave at night to let the professionals at the University of Iowa Hospital do their work. Randy broke restraints and pulled out feeding tubes and IVs. Finally, after a month of not sleeping and his body worn down from tremors, he began to show improvement. He was able to sleep some, like a drowning man grabbing for a life preserver. He was transferred to the Great River Medical Center in Burlington for rehabilitation. While there, as if he hadn’t been through enough, he suffered a gallbladder attack, which he thought was a heart attack, and his gallbladder was removed.

His stepson Pat is a First Team All-Conference football running back at Mt. Pleasant Community High School. Randy had to miss Pat’s football games, but listened to them streamed live on his smart phone. He also had to miss his beloved Cubs World Series Championship, which he watched, but can hardly remember.

However, Randy is recovering, a process that may take a couple of years, or a lifetime.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Eight myths – and truths – about Hospice care As a health and wellness organization, we spend a lot of time talking about the importance of living well. When it comes to dying well, that’s a conversation that’s much less likely to be initiated.

Because November is National Hospice Month, it’s a natural time to start a conversation about living with – or helping a loved one live with — a life-altering illness and about the fact that compassionate care can help ensure quality of life.

Park Centre is a part of WesleyLife, a recognized and trusted name in services for older adults for 70 years, and we offer hospice care as a component of our broad network of home- and community-based services. It’s our hope that if you’re wondering if you or a loved one could benefit from hospice care, the information below, compiled with assistance from the American Hospice Foundation, might help you start a discussion with your healthcare provider.

Myth 1: Hospice is appropriate only when a patient is at death’s door Truth: The hospice conversation should begin before a patient is in his or her last days; ideally, it should take place when individuals are still healthy. Virtually anyone with a life-limiting illness can qualify for hospice care, enabling a patient to live life in comfort for the days, weeks, months or longer that remain in his or her life.

It’s not unheard of for a patient’s condition to improve and for him or her to “graduate” from hospice care. We believe life can and should be lived fully, no matter how much time remains.

Myth 2: Families are discouraged from involvement in a loved one’s hospice care.

Director of Nursing, Park Centre Tracy Pieters Truth: On the contrary, hospice care can benefit family members nearly as much as it can benefit patients. One of the gifts of hospice is its capacity to help families realize how much can be shared at the end of life through personal and spiritual connection. As part of a family-centered concept of care, hospice focuses almost as much on supporting a patient’s family members as on caring for the patient. It’s not unusual for family members to look back upon the hospice experience with gratitude.

Myth 3: Hospice is a place Truth: WesleyLife hospice care takes place wherever the need exists, usually in the patient’s home.

Myth 4: Hospice is only for patients with cancer Truth: More than one-half of hospice patients nationwide have diagnoses other than cancer. Hospice commonly serves patients who are living with chronic diseases such as emphysema, Alzheimer’s disease, or cardiovascular and neuromuscular illnesses.

Myth 5: Hospice is for people who don’t need a high level of care Truth: WesleyLife Hospice is Medicare-certified, employing experienced medical and nursing personnel with skills in symptom control. We offer palliative care, using advanced technologies to prevent or alleviate distressing symptoms.

Myth 6: Hospice care is expensive

Truth: Most hospice patients age 65 or older are entitled to the Medicare Hospice Benefit, which covers virtually all hospice services and requires the patient to pay little in out-of-pocket costs.

This means there are no financial burdens incurred by the family – a situation that can contrast sharply with major expenses that can be incurred to manage a life-limiting illness when hospice is not used.

Myth 7: All hospice programs are the same Truth: All licensed hospice programs must provide certain services, but the range of support services and programs may differ. In addition, hospice programs and operating styles may vary from state to state depending on state laws and regulations.

Like other medical care providers, business models differ. Some programs are not-for-profit and some hospices are for-profit.

Myth 8: Hospice means giving up hope Truth: When faced with a terminal illness, many patients and family members tend to dwell on the imminent loss of life rather than on making the most of the life that remains. Hospice helps patients reclaim the spirit of life. It helps them understand that even though death can lead to sadness, anger, and pain, it can also lead to opportunities for reminiscence, laughter, reunion, and hope.

Donation allows Jasper County EMA to purchase drone Newton Daily News The Jasper County Emergency Management Agency recently accepted a small grant from the Iowa Communities Assurance Pool.

The $1,000 grant is part of ICAP’s special initiative in celebration of the organization’s 30th anniversary. The funds from this grant were used to support the purchase of a DJI Phantom 4 drone, which will be used to assist with missions related to public and individual safety throughout Jasper County.

With the recent changes in drone technology and successful deployment of drones in other counties in Iowa, the Jasper County EMA staff felt that a drone would provide a tool that would enhance the capabilities of public safety agencies within the county.

The drone is capable of sending images and location information to the operators.

The plan is also to use the drone to assist with public safety and life safety missions in which the EMA

Submitted photo This Jasper County Emergency Management drone was purchased due to a donation from the Iowa Communities Assurance Pool.

Office may be called to assist.

The Jasper County EMA is the managerial agency charged with creating the framework within which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters. The agency’s primary purpose is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in Jasper County and work to mitigate the potential for disas-

ters in the future.

ICAP was formed in 1986 as a group self-insurance program for Iowa public entities. The member owned pool provides property and casualty coverage, risk-sharing facilities and risk-management services to its members. The pool is acclaimed for its stable rates, superior coverages and class of service.

Is it a cold or the flu?

A UI health expert shares the differences University of Iowa Waking up with the sniffles, a cough and a fever is common this time of year. But how do you know if it’s just a common cold or the flu? Knowing the difference is important because the flu can become much more serious, says a University of Iowa Health Care expert.

“It can be difficult to tell whether you have a cold or the flu because the two can share a lot of the same symptoms,” Patrick D. Brophy, MD, MHCDS, professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa and medical director for UIeCare, said. “It’s important to know the difference, because the flu can cause serious complications, especially for young children, people over age 65, and pregnant women.”

While both a cold and the flu are respiratory viruses, the severi-

ty of an illness and how it unfolds can provide clues to help tell them apart. A cold is usually mild, lasting only a few days, and causes symptoms predominately above the neck. The flu is more severe, comes on suddenly, and causes symptoms throughout the entire body.

This cold and flu season, Dr. Brophy from UIeCare shares some common cold and flu symptoms to help determine the difference.

• Fever. Both illnesses can cause a fever, but it’s more common with the flu. Colds may cause a low-grade fever, but fevers with the flu can be 102 degrees or more and can persist for three or four days.

• Headache. Headaches rarely accompany a cold, but are common with the flu.

• Aches and pains. Achiness is typically mild with a cold and often severe with the flu.

• Fatigue. Mild tired-

ness sometimes occurs with colds, but the flu usually starts with a period of exhaustion and fatigue lasting up to three weeks.

• Sneezing, stuffy nose and sore throat. These are the most frequent symptoms of a cold, but can also occur with the flu.

• Chest discomfort and cough. These symptoms are generally mild to moderate with colds, but can be severe with the flu.

“Whether you have a cold or the flu, it’s important to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. If you feel weak, have difficulty breathing, or run a high fever, you should see a doctor,” Brophy said. “If you are unsure whether an illness requires a doctor’s visit, it is best to err on the side of caution. New virtual care services make it easy to see a doctor from the comfort of home.”

UIeCare, one of Iowa’s first virtual care

services, makes it possible for Iowans to see a University of Iowa Health Care-credentialed provider via a webcam or smart phone from anywhere in Iowa at any time.

The UIeCare service is for minor illnesses and injuries that are urgent but not an emergency.

UIeCare providers can effectively treat flu-like symptoms, rash, sore throat, and vomiting.

A UIeCare visit costs $50. Patients can seek reimbursement from a health savings account or an insurance plan.

UIeCare visitors do not need insurance or need to be current patients of the University of Iowa to use the service.

Iowans who are interested in learning more or would like to request online care can visit UIeCare.com. Para Español, visit UIeSalud.com. An internet broadband speed of 1Mbps upstream is recommended for videoconferencing.

Meal will include turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, dinner rolls and desserts.

While the meal is free and open to the public, we respectfully ask to limit the meals to families in need on Thanksgiving.

Kids lobby mom to return long-overdue child support

DEAR ABBY: I’m a divorced and remarried mother of two adult children. Both live on their own and have decent jobs. After the divorce, I managed to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table and provide college for my children. My ex-husband, their father, sporadically paid child support, which resulted in an arrearage owed for the past nine years.

Recently, I received a substantial sum of the balance I was owed for back child support. My dilemma is that my children feel that because their father is having financial problems (finances were always his issue), I should give the money back to him because I am financially secure.

Abby, they are ignoring everything I had to do to support them while they were still dependents and my responsibility. Add into that their health care, extracurricular activities, Christmases and birthdays, etc., when he said he didn’t have money.

I feel I have every right to keep the money. I have told this to my kids, but they are mad at me because I can’t seem to get the message across. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

— FLUSTERED IN FLORIDA DEAR FLUSTERED: You were divorced from this man for good reason. Your responsibility to him ended when the divorce was finalized. What you have received for shouldering the entire responsibility for raising your children is yours and yours alone. Do not apologize to anyone for what you prefer to do with the money. And for your sake, please don’t allow yourself be trapped or guilted into doing anything against your better judgment.

DEAR ABBY: I love my sister.

She’s well-educated, intelligent and fun, but she has let herself go. We are both in our 60s and, unfortunately, those pesky whiskers are starting to appear on our faces. She recently had sur-

gery and when I visited her, I noticed a lot of hairs sprouting from her chin. I offered to pluck them or take her to a spa and have them removed when she had a facial. She refused!

My friends and I have made a pact to pluck each other’s whiskers if we are ever in a hospital and can’t do it ourselves. Should I just let it go or, the next time I see her, remind her that many people would be put off if they saw her? Or is it just me? — WHISKERLESS SISTER DEAR WHISKERLESS: It’s not “just you.” Depilatories are popular because most American women wouldn’t want to be caught dead with obvious facial hair.

Your letter brought back memories, one of which was my mother telling me that her first executive assistant, Katie, had made Mama promise that in the event of Katie’s demise, Mama would bring a razor to the viewing and, while standing at the casket, “whisk” off her mustache so no one would see it.

Not knowing your sister, I can’t say whether she was in so much pain from her surgery that she didn’t want to add to it by being plucked. Talk to her again when she’s feeling better and she may offer up her chin. If not, love her the way she is — fur and all — because she’s happy that way.

after pleading to sex abuse

up inside industrial chimney

GRANDVIEW — Firefighters in southeastern Iowa have rescued a worker from more than 200 feet up inside a 620-foot industrial chimney at a MidAmerican Energy plant.

Rescue workers were called to the Louisa Generating Station in Grandview late Tuesday afternoon to save an employee trapped 230 feet up. The Muscatine Fire Department says it was the first time its team conducted a high-angle rescue outside of training events.

Man arrested after beating driver involved in crash ALTOONA — Police in the Des Moines suburb of Altoona have arrested a man they say witnessed a crash, then beat a driver involved in the wreck.

Steven Webb, 56 of Pleasant Hill, was arrested Tuesday night. Police say Webb began hitting a man after, they were told, the man tried to leave the scene of the crash. Officers reported that Webb knocked the man out, and was still punching the man when officers intervened. The beaten man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

BURLINGTON— A former Burlington City Council member has been sentenced to up 20 years in prison after entering an Alford plea to three counts of third-degree sexual abuse involving teenage girls. Chris King entered the pleas Tuesday. An Alford plea is one in which a defendant maintains innocence but acknowledges prosecutors have enough evidence for conviction. The sentence will run after a 32-year sentence the 42-year-old King received in August after a jury found him guilty of sex abuse.

5 No one injured when freight train derails

CALLENDER — No one was injured when a freight train derailed near the small Webster County city of Callender.

Union Pacific spokeswoman Calli Hite says there were no injuries and that the cause of the derailment is being investigated.

Republicans choose same top leaders to run Iowa House DES MOINES (AP) — Republicans in control of the Iowa House have chosen the same top leaders to run the chamber for the next two years.

The GOP announced Wednesday that Rep. Linda Upmeyer of Clear Lake will continue as House speaker. Rep. Chris Hagenow of Windsor Heights will serve as majority leader. The appointments will be official when the next legislative session begins in January.

Upmeyer became Iowa’s first female House speaker in 2015 after the previous leader, Rep. Kraig Paulsen, relinquished the position.

Hagenow also became majority leader last year.

Republicans have a 59-41 majority in the chamber. The party also has a 29-19 majority in the Senate, which also has one independent and one open seat.

West Des Moines to settle discrimination lawsuit for $1.9M WEST DES MOINES (AP) — The city of West Des Moines has agreed to pay nearly $2 million to a police officer who sued, saying the department’s former police chief discriminated against her because she’s a woman.

The city announced the $1.9 million settlement with Sgt. Tanya Zaglauer Schmell on Tuesday, two days after Chief Shaun LaDue resigned under pressure from city management.

Zaglauer Schmell was one of three women who sued last year, claiming they were unfairly passed over for promotions and suffered unwarranted discipline. The two other women earlier settled their claims. Zaglauer Schmell, a 17-year veteran of the West Des Moines Police Department, took her case to trial last week.

City Manager Tom Hadden said the city’s insurance provider sought the settlement and will pay it.

AP Photo Protesters demonstrate in solidarity with members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota over the construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, in Philadelphia, Tuesday.

Stop in and see Ashley or Paula the next time you need a loan and let our people help you.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge likely won’t decide until early next year whether to give the developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline permission to finish the $3.8 billion project, according to court documents.

That leaves open the possibility that a resolution to the matter might still come through federal regulators rather than the courts.

But it also creates the potential for many more weeks of protests in southern North Dakota, where opponents have started digging in for winter, and millions more spent on law enforcement-related costs.

Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners asked U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday to declare it has the legal right to lay pipe under a Missouri River reservoir in southern North Dakota, the remaining unbuilt chunk of the 1,200-mile pipeline to move North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois.

The company’s move was spurred by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers calling Monday

for more study and input from the Standing Rock Sioux before deciding whether to approve an easement for the pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe, the reservoir from which the tribe draws drinking water. The tribe believes the pipeline threatens water and cultural sites.

Company lawyers have proposed a schedule under which a hearing would be held “on or about” Jan. 3, and Boasberg would make a decision sometime after that.

When the tribe asked Boasberg in August to temporarily stop pipeline construction, he ruled 12 business days after a hearing. If he follows a similar timeline, a decision on ETP’s request would come Jan. 19 — one day before Donald Trump, who has said he wants to rebuild energy infrastructure and owns stock in ETP, assumes the White House.

Attorney Jan Hasselman with environmental group Earthjustice, which is representing the tribe in its lawsuit, doesn’t think

the Obama administration will leave the matter to Trump.

“No. They know how that story ends,” he said.

It’s unclear, though, what kind of a timeline the corps will follow for further consultation with the tribe and a decision on an easement.

Army Assistant Secretary Jo-Ellen Darcy said Monday only that it would be done “expeditiously.” Corps spokeswoman Moira Kelley said Wednesday that the agency is awaiting a response from the tribe, and “we will have more information on the timeline once the discussion begins.”

“It would seem that it is in the best interest of all the parties involved to move quickly,” she said.

Standing Rock tribal Chairman Dave Archambault didn’t immediately comment Wednesday.

The delay frustrates North Dakota leaders. U.S. Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., this week said it “will only prolong the disruption in the region.”

10 things to know for today

Southern wildfires have threatened communities on edge TIGER, Ga. (AP) ​ — Thick smoke has settled over a wide area of the southern Appalachians, where dozens of uncontrolled wildfires are burning through decades of leaf litter and people breathe in tiny bits of the forest with every gulp of air.

It’s a constant reminder of the threat to many small mountain communities, where relentless drought and now persistent fires and smoke have people under duress.

“A lot of the ladies just went to tears and said this happens in other places, it doesn’t happen here,” pastor Scott Cates said as townspeople donated water, cough drops and other supplies for the firefighters at the Liberty Baptist Church in Tiger, Georgia.

Here, these fires don’t sleep. They burn through the night, through the now-desiccated tinder of deciduous forests accustomed to wet, humid summers and autumns.

“It doesn’t die down after dark,” said fire Capt. Ron Thalacker, who came from Carlsbad, New Mexico, with a fire engine that now draws water from streams and ponds to spray on hotspots in Georgia’s Rabun County, near the epicenter of the southern fires.

forests in the West often burn in the tree tops and mellow out at night, but these fires are clinging to the ground and actively burning 24 hours a day, said firefighter Chad Cullum of Billings, Montana.

Cullum spoke briefly, as flames rolled down a mountainside behind him. Then he ordered everyone to get out. “We need to leave,” he said sternly, ushering people to move down a rocky dirt road.

More than 5,000 firefighters and support personnel, including many veterans of wildfires in the arid West, and 24 helicopters are battling blazes in the fire zone, which has spread from northern Georgia and

eastern Tennessee into eastern Kentucky, the western Carolinas and parts of surrounding states.

Nationally, “there’s a pretty good ability to help out the South right now,” said Jennifer Jones, a spokeswoman with the U.S. Forest Service. Reinforcements have arrived from at least 37 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, she said this week.

One man died Wednesday on eastern Kentucky’s Mountain Parkway, where smoke decreased visibility.

Kentucky State Police said about 14 others were injured in a series of wrecks on both sides of the road.

Trooper Scott Ferrell said a coal truck

driver died when he got out of his truck to check on a driver whose vehicle had hit the truck and then was hit by a third vehicle.

About 15 vehicles were involved in the chain reaction collisions that closed the highway for nearly 10 hours, Ferrell said.

More than 30 large fires remain uncontained, and overall, a total of 128,000 acres has burned, or about nine times the size of Manhattan.

Firefighters got a lucky break when a fire reversed direction, turning away from the Trail of Tears, which marks the route where the Cherokee and other Indians were forcibly removed from their lands in the 1800s.

$245,000 wastewater project meets city and school approval

Contact the Newton Daily News for more information Matthew Nosco News Editor

A 28E agreement between the city and the PCM school district has been approved by both entities, and now the design process will move forward on a joint wastewater management project between the entities.

The hope is that the project, a new filtration and drainage system being put in alongside the athletic complex in Prairie City, will help drain

the water out of the area more efficiently than in the past while also filtering the water through natural vegetation.

The project is estimated to cost around $245,000, which will be paid by the city. The funds will be coming from a State Revolving Fund loan the city had previously taken out for its new wastewater treatment plant.

Parrott will not seek re-election as recorder Bob Eschliman Editor

As a high school junior, a wide-eyed, 16-year-old Nancy Hoen went to work for the first time in the Jasper County Recorder’s Office to work a summer job.

It’s hard to imagine that girl, who grew up to become Jasper County Recorder Nancy Parrott

would be looking back this week upon a career in that very same office that has spanned more than 40 years. She announced publicly Thursday morning this will be her last year leading the office she transformed.

“County government has played such a wonderful part of my life, and I will never forget the many friends that I have made,” she said. “I look

forward to spending more time with family, including my ten grandchildren, and will stay connected to local government through my husband, Dennis.”

Dennis Parrott currently serves as Jasper County Auditor. He was re-elected in 2012.

The Prairie City City Council will address the parking situation on Plainsmen Road during its Thursday, Feb. 6, meeting after having passed the first reading of an ordinance to allow for a loading and unloading zone next to Prairie City Elementary School.

City staff and councilors are hoping for public input on the process at the meeting, and community members have

been encouraged to attend with questions and concerns via the city’s social media.

The ordinance, drafted off of what is currently in use in Des Moines, would create a specific School Passenger Parking Zone, which would allow for parking between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days only for the purpose of loading or unloading school passengers.

Antique shop brings new offerings just in time for Valentine’s Day Matthew Nosco News Editor

Mud Pies and Sassafras Tea Antiques in Prairie City has expanded its hours, as well as its offerings, and it’s holding a sale this weekend, just in time for last-minute Valentine’s Day shoppers.

The sisters and coowners, Becky Horner and Linda Dorr, have been busy over the past several weeks, posting a slew of notices to their Facebook as they’ve picked estate sales, purchased collections and

bought a range of miscellaneous pieces.

The new acquisitions come along with the announcement of their new official hours.

While they were previously open about once or twice a month on the weekends, now they are setting down firm and official hours for the second Saturday of each month when they’ll open the show from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m.

“That’s a big change for us. We had a lot of people calling and asking when we were open, and

we wanted to have consistency,” owner Horner said. “We’ll probably also open an additional weekend if Prairie City is doing something or it makes sense for a sale.”

They have also begun opening a few items for rental, primarily for weddings. In a recent picking session, they acquired a pair of white iron candelabra and blue-tinted Ball glass jars which will be their initial rental offerings.

Montgomery sparks Iowa State’s ground game AMES (AP) — Establishing the run has been something Iowa State has wanted to accomplish all season.

The Cyclones finally found their ground game in last week’s win

at Kansas and they’re hoping that blueprint can help them finish yet another lost season on a high note.

Iowa State (2-8, 1-6 Big 12) rushed for 238 yards on 46 carries in a 31-24 victory over the

Jayhawks that snapped a fivegame losing skid. True freshman David Montgomery led the way with a career-high, 169-yard effort that earned him Big 12 newcomer of the week honors.

Montgomery and the Cyclones host Texas Tech (4-6, 2-5) Saturday as part of a two-game home stand to close out 2016.

“A lot of what David has done is a credit to his process and his work ethic. I really appreciate his detail and maturity,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. “He’s really worked hard at studying the game on film and being locked in.”

Despite a makeshift offensive line, Iowa State thought it had a chance to be a decent running team because it had Mike Warren, the nation’s leading freshman running back in 2015.

But with Warren struggling with an ankle injury, Montgomery stepped in and gave the Cyclones a welcome boost.

IOWA STATE | 2B

Iowa’s focus on little things is big IOWA CITY (AP) — A lot of programs refer to creating a culture that can lead teams through times of crisis.

Iowa’s stunning 14-13 win over Michigan last week was proof that what the Hawkeyes have built in nearly two decades under coach Kirk Ferentz still works.

Just one week after one of the more crushing defeats in Ferentz’s 18 seasons, a 41-14 blowout at Penn State, the Hawkeyes rallied to topple the unbeaten Wolverines as a 24-point underdog.

The remarkable response to the Penn State loss, guided by a veteran staff and players who have bought into what coaches were telling them even when the results weren’t coming, has put Iowa (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) in position to finish a disappointing season on a high note. The Hawkeyes visit Illinois (3-7, 2-5) on Saturday.

“One of the points we made last week was that we probably weren’t going to be Big Ten champions this year. But you’re either building toward it or you’re taking away from it, and there’s responsibility with that,” Ferentz said. “It’s got to be a 12 month a year thing, and you’re either on board or you’re not.”

If any team appeared set for a late-season collapse, it

Most teams that say such

Big day for state of Iowa teams

T

he Iowa Hawkeyes went into the weekend battered and bruised and coming off one of their worst losses in the Kirk Ferentz error. They had their manhood questioned after a 4114 loss to Penn State last week.

Fans didn’t expect to see a win against No. 2 Michigan on Saturday, but they wanted to see some fight, determination and effort.

What they got at Kinnick Stadium and on national TV was a whole lot more.

After a complete disaster the week before, the short-handed Hawkeyes somehow found a way to take down the undefeated Wolverines in front of their home fans.

Insane.

It was a fantastic day all around for most college football fans in the state of Iowa.

things in November end up staying home in December.

As it turned out, the Hawkeyes were right.

Iowa defensive coordinator Phil Parker, who has been an assistant under Ferentz for nearly two decades, took a unit that had put together one of its worst performances in a

This & That Troy Hyde On top of Iowa’s gigantic win over Michigan, Iowa State also rallied to take down Kansas in Lawrence and Northern Iowa went on the road to knock off FCS nationally ranked Western Illinois.

Most fans don’t follow the Drake football program, but the Bulldogs also won their game to complete the 4-for-4 sweep on the day.

I watched the Hawkeye game with my own eyes, but I’m still struggling to figure out how C.J. Beathard throws for 66 yards, the team gains less than 300 total yards and Iowa still wins.

The gloom that hung over Iowa’s football program the last several weeks disappeared thanks to a mammoth defensive effort and just enough offensively against the nation’s No. 1 defense.

And the win came down to a last-second kick by a player who might have been figuring out who he was taking to his high school prom at

long time and shut down the Wolverines.

Iowa held Michigan to only 201 yards despite losing starting cornerback Greg Mabin to an injury. Freshman Manny Rugamba stepped in and grabbed a crucial fourth-quarter interception that helped set up the game-winning

this time last year.

Keith Duncan’s 33-yard field goal will go down in Hawkeye lore.

Just like Rob Houghtlin’s 28-yard kick in 1985 to give Iowa a 12-10 win over this same Michigan program in a one versus two matchup.

Just like Daniel Murray’s 31-yard boot in 2008 that sent the Hawkeyes home with a 24-23 win over No. 3 Penn State.

It was a big night in Iowa City. Kirk Ferentz had tears in his eyes during the postgame interview, and Iowa defeated a top-five team on national TV with ABC’s No. 1 announcing team calling the game.

There were more than 60 recruits in town, including Iowa City West standout wide receiver Oliver Martin, who also has an offer from Michigan.

It included Kurt Warner’s son, another standout wide receiver.

The result was the Hawkeyes’ first win over an AP top-two team since Houghtlin delivered his kick against the Wolverines in 1985. That Michigan team also was led by current coach Jim Harbaugh, who was the Wolverines’ starting QB that season.

Saturday’s victory won’t take away

drive.

“The big thing that coach (Ferentz) pushes is to stay focused, determined,” linebacker Josey Jewell said. “If you put your full effort out there and do your job, anything can happen.”

IOWA | 2B

the sting of what this season could have been. But it helps heal the pain.

This Hawkeye team was driving down a road toward 5-7 or 6-6. Now, with 3-7 Illinois looming next week, Iowa has the chance to get to seven wins before hosting nationally ranked Nebraska on Black Friday. And it qualified for another bowl game in style.

Iowa State’s win was much needed.

The Cyclones were down 14-3 on the road and came back to defeat Kansas.

I realize Kansas is not very good. But you take any win you can get if your Matt Campbell and his coaching staff as they try to rebuild in Ames.

It was a career day for running back David Montgomery, another big night for Central Iowa native Allen Lazard and the Cyclones scored on four of their five second-half possessions to end a long losing streak in the Big 12 Conference.

Iowa State fans expected to get a win. Iowa and Northern Iowa fans likely didn’t feel good about their chances.

In the end, the entire state got to do a little celebrating Saturday. Those are always the best nights.

Continued from Page 1B Offensive coordinator Greg Davis recognized the need for Iowa to get the ball in the hands of running back Akrum Wadley as much as possible. Wadley, the only true open-field threat the Hawkeyes have left after injuries to receiver Matt VandeBerg and tight end George Kittle, had 167 combined yards and a touchdown reception to help Iowa escape from a 10-0 hole.

“We have a great culture here within this program. It goes into the entire offseason. Guys who work their tails off all year long,” said quarterback C.J. Beathard.

Beating Michigan won’t erase the fact that Iowa will fall short of its expectations.

All the Hawkeyes can do is hope that what clicked over the past week leads to success in the weeks ahead.

Ferentz has “given us certain examples in the past of Iowa history, certain things that he believes show the resilience, the determination of other teams and how that worked out for them,” Jewell said. “He really forces it into your head. But it’s a good kind of forcing.”

Chase isn’t always fair, that doesn’t make it bad

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press When William Byron’s engine exploded less than 10 laps away from his seventh win of the season, his chance to race for the Truck Series championship blew up in a puff of white smoke.

It was one of those bad breaks that happen every week at every level in auto racing.

But when it happens to the most dominant driver in a series and ruins his title aspirations, it ignites a debate about the fairness — flaws, maybe?

— of the elimination-style playoffs NASCAR now uses in all three of its series.

Brad Keselowski was particularly upset about Byron’s misfortune, even though Keselowski fields rival trucks. He described himself as “mad and disappointed” for Byron, and said the elimination format has effectively “traded excellence for entertainment.”

Keselowski learned how harsh the system can be in 2014, its debut year at the Sprint Cup level. He won six races that year, but one bad day at Martinsville led to his elimination from the playoffs after the third round. Keselowski had been worthy of a spot in the finale, but he didn’t earn one of the slots.

Same goes Jeff Gordon that first year. He won four times in 2014 and should have raced for the title. Like Keselowski, he was bounced out of the third round.

Joey Logano should have made the finale last year but didn’t. Same goes for Matt Kenseth, who was two laps away from victory Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway until a caution created a series of events that caused him to crash. He was all but assured of a slot in this weekend’s finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway one moment, last in the Chase standings the next.

There have been arguments about the Chase since it was first introduced in 2004. Fans felt it was contrived and that the traditional season-long point champion was the truest way to decide a title. The format has been tinkered

Iowa State Continued from Page 1B Montgomery, a Cincinnati native who rushed for 41 touchdowns on 10.1 yards per carry as a high school senior a year ago, was one of the most promising players in Campbell’s first recruiting class.

Campbell immediately saw Montgomery’s speed as an asset for a program with needs across the board.

Montgomery averaged at least four yards per carry in each of his first seven Big 12 games. He is at 5.1 yards per

AP Photo William Byron sits in his car after qualifying for a NASCAR Trucks auto race at Phoenix International Raceway, in Avondale, Ariz.

And that raises questions about the elimination-style playoffs NASCAR uses in all three of its series.

with several times since, but its most radical adjustments came three years ago when NASCAR implemented eliminations. That format this year was brought to both the Xfinity Series and Truck Series for the first time.

Every sport has upsets and underdogs. Every sport has a Cinderella story every now and then that drums up interest. NASCAR very much needed that element when it introduced the Chase, and chairman Brian France has long trumpeted the desire to have his sport in a position to create “Game 7 moments.”

The entire country talked for days about the seventh game of the World Series and the Chicago Cubs’ dramatic victory.

Any leader in their right mind would want that same nail-biting tension for their sport.

They want to see crushing defeats, career-defining victories, magical moments.

So no matter what longtime fans believe, France did the ab-

solute right thing in creating the Chase. Yes, people claim they stopped watching NASCAR because of the Chase.

They blame Brian France for turning to gimmicks over tradition, claim the Chase has ruined the sport they once loved.

Well, those people are clinging to a past that is never coming back. NASCAR has plenty of problems and NASCAR does many things incorrectly, but the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship is not one of them.

The Chase in its first year had five drivers eligible to win the title. It pitted teammates Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson against each other in one of the fiercest championship battles in NASCAR history.

The Chase in 2011 produced a magnificent finale in which Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards ended the championship tied with Stewart getting the trophy on a tiebreaker.

The elimination element has raised the pressure and forced

drivers to answer the call when the season is on the line. Kevin Harvick twice won must-win races in 2014 on his way to the title, Joey Logano has done it twice this year alone, including Sunday when his victory put him in the finale.

It is absolutely true that the final four drivers will not always represent the most deserving teams. Byron learned that the hard way in the Truck Series’ inaugural Chase. The most dominant teams don’t always deliver when the pressure is at its highest; although Harvick had performed time and again when his back was against the wall, Stewart-Haas Racing couldn’t come up with the dominating performance it needed for him to advance.

That’s called sports, and there’s nothing contrived about it.

It’s not always fair, but sports are the greatest reality programming out there. Anything can happen and that’s why we watch.

carry overall, despite not getting much of a chance to develop the rhythm that comes with extended playing time.

The promise Montgomery showed in a 34-24 loss to No. 8 Oklahoma two weeks ago came to fruition against the Jayhawks.

He averaged seven yards a carry as Iowa State scored 28 of the game’s final 38 points.

“At some point you go with the hot hand, too. And he had the hot hand,” Campbell said.

The “tenacity that he was running with Saturday led us to say that we really (keep) giving the ball to the guy who’s really running well.”

But the most surprising development in Iowa State’s rushing attack has been the rise of walk-on Mitchell Harger.

Harger, a redshirt senior from Alburnett, a town of less than 1,000 people, spent his first three years with the Cyclones as a special teams player. His only notable moment came last year at West Virginia, when he converted a fake punt.

But with Iowa State trailing Kansas 24-16, Campbell gave Harger a chance as a lead back for one series.

Harger ran the ball eight times out of nine plays, driving

Iowa State down the field before scoring from six yards out on third-and-goal.

Harger might not play much more this season as Warren gets healthier and Montgomery continues to improve. But Harger’s work ethic and attitude have rubbed off on a team still learning what it takes to win consistently.

“He comes in here every single day and he hasn’t complained once,” wide receiver Allen Lazard said. “He’s always worked extremely hard. It just makes me appreciate my life because I am a scholarship guy.”

financial life gets better in March. Love will lead you to new places in July. Capricorn and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 22, 48 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When people offer things to you in passing to seem generous, but then don’t give you the specifics about how you would take them up on their offer, call the bluff. Get into this!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll be asking for things you and the people you represent really need and want. Learn your customer first. You’ll be

successful when you let their habits dictate your timing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

This will be a day of constant re-investment. You’ll keep putting your riches into things and getting your riches plus more in return. The more you invest, the more prosperous you’ll be.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The amount of freedom you exercise in your life will be equal to the amount of freedom you exercise in your head. It will really help to think your way through the restrictions today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you want to know what’s really hurting you, it’s the fence. Get off the fence! Make a commitment. Either side will do,

EOE: AA/M/F/Disabled/Veteran

really; it doesn’t matter. Either one will be better than sitting in the middle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your understanding will broaden. As this happens, suddenly you may question certain things you took for granted -- like your freedom. How free are you really? Could you be freer?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

It’s said that god helps those who help themselves. Maybe that’s a bleak view of things.

Shouldn’t the help go to those who need it? If not, at least the unlucky have you -- more compassionate than deities are rumored to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

That person who is blustering

around and putting on a good show is hiding something. He’s not hiding something big, but he’s hiding an emptiness he’d rather you not know about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The best thing for your mood will be to let off steam a little bit at a time. This way you won’t build up in a blast and burn someone. Be the teakettle. Move yourself off the burner once you hear the whistle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What was fun and cute once is no longer. You have real needs that are not being met, and these distractions aren’t helping you get them met. You’ll get serious and truthful on the matter today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Go on and state your terms.

Negotiations are a dance, but you need to get onto the same dance floor as the other person in order to realize that you’re actually dancing together.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The less you worry, the better.

One way is not to think about it. Another way is to think better of it. A third way is to go on a long walk. And if that doesn’t work, there are at least a dozen other ways that will.

HOW MUCH TROUBLE DOES McCARTHY HAVE IN GREEN BAY? Reports are surfacing all over the place that Packers head coach Mike McCarthy’s job is on the line and that should the Packers fail to claim their eighth straight playoff appearance, he could get the axe.

Some are even suggesting that his boss, GM Ted Thompson, is in trouble as well and that two of the three men most responsible for making the Packers one of the most successful franchises in the league could be on the street if the Packers don’t rebound and make a solid playoff run this season.

According to our sources, however, these reports are nothing more than speculation by some members of the media and the ranting of spoiled fans who need somebody to blame for their beloved Packers being human.

Franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the third member of that trio that has made the Pack so successful, is fueling most of the media speculation.

In an effort to rally his team after an embarrassing loss at home to Indianapolis in Week 9 and an even more embarrassing trip to Tennessee this past Sunday, Rodgers has spoken out about his team’s lack of energy and preparedness.

While responsibility in those two areas clearly lies with the head coach, Rodgers has said nothing that directly lays blame on McCarthy or Thompson.

Ironically, it was the subpar play of Rodgers over the second half of 2015 and the first six or seven weeks of this season that seemed to be largely responsible for the Packers’ slide.

But as Rodgers has come on over the past four weeks and his club has failed to improve with him, the appearance of a rift between Rodgers and McCarthy has grown in the eyes of many.

The bottom line here is that the futures of both Thompson and McCarthy rest in the hands of team president Mark Murphy, and what we’re hearing is that Murphy hasn’t even considered the possibility of dismissing either one.

It is possible Murphy could support

Thompson and leave the McCarthy decision to his GM, but we’re also hearing there is no indication at all right now that Thompson is even close to laying blame for the club’s problems at this time.

When Murphy became the top person in the Packers organization, Thompson and McCarthy were both already in their current jobs and both had trained in Green Bay earlier in their careers as assistants before taking over the top jobs in the front office and on the coaching staff.

While things can certainly change quickly in the NFL, we’re hearing that neither Thompson nor McCarthy is in any jeopardy at the moment, and with the Packers currently just a game out of the division lead with seven to play, any reports you see or hear about either of them losing his job is nothing more than idle speculation with no substance behind it.
