Three arrested on drug charges in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News To keep the historical aspects of the building in tact, Hubbell Development plans to leave the exterior the same for both buildings 1 and 2.

$7M project in works for former Maytag buildings

Loft apartments aim to attract commuters

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A project is underway to transform two former Maytag buildings into a $7 million apartment complex that would house 42 factory lofts near downtown Newton.

Hubbell Development of West Des Moines aims to renovate the property, located at 403 W. Fourth St. N., commonly known as Maytag buildings 1 and 2.

Bryan Friedman, director of finance and development for the city, announced Monday that Hubbell Development agreed to purchase the properties from Newton Enterprises.

The multi-million dollar renovations would ensure the historical qualities of the building be kept intact, while providing affordable housing options primarily targeted to those commuting to Newton, Friedman said.

In a recent trend analysis, the city found that about 4,000 people travel to Newton every day. With the new one and two bedroom apartments, the city hopes to attract some of those individuals to live where they work, he said. Along with the commuters, part-time students and young professionals are potential tenants.

The buildings will house a manager’s office along with

a community room, computer center, fitness center and storage lockers. Plans are also in the works for an outdoor common area in the courtyard by the building. Each unit would have its own washer and dryer, dishwasher and parking available. There will be 12 accessible units, some even located on the second floor because of elevator access.

Hubbell Development started looking in the Newton area more than two years ago after starting a project in Grinnell. The Maytag buildings fit in with the long list of historical restoration work MAYTAG | 3A

Small group of parents speak at forum on reconfiguration

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Only six people signed up to speak at Tuesday’s special forum at the Emerson Hough building.

But in the 40-minute forum, designed to allow the public to provide feedback to the Newton Community School District board about proposed reconfiguration ideas, there were loud and clear messages about potential changes.

The 28 people who attended Tuesday’s forum witnessed a much different atmosphere from a similarly formatted forum held Monday, when more than 70 teachers and other district personnel packed the Emerson Hough building conference room. The forums were announced last week after the release of the results of a the latest in a series of surveys about reconfiguration.

day’s forum and took advantage of their timed three minutes at the podium. A few others made two-minute comments to add to expand upon what the six speakers spoke about, while the board remained silent, in accordance with the chosen format.

The speakers covered a number of different topics.

McNeer, a Newton resident since 1946, said he took an informal poll of 11 peers at Newton Chamber of Commerce event on Tuesday. He said nine

wanted “neighborhood” schools, one for “segmented classes,” and one “didn’t give a darn.”

Bloom, the parent of a Woodrow Wilson Intermediate School fourth-grader, said he preferred to keep the current grade levels at their current schools. He said during the old neighborhood-school system, some grades would be far ahead or behind one another in a subject area.

Breakfast with Santa set for Saturday Group raising money for Newton ice rink Newton Daily News A new nonprofit aimed at improving City of Newton parks will be hosting Breakfast with Santa Claus on Saturday at the Newton Arboretum.

Funds will be used to add an ice skating rink to the community’s parks.

Friends of Newton Parks, which formed in April, will be hosting a fundraising breakfast with Santa Claus beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday. The freewill donation breakfast is open until 10 a.m. and will feature pancakes, eggs and sausage, along with juice, milk or coffee. Breakfast is sponsored by Park Centre, A Wesley Life Community, Newton Hy-Vee, Midtown Café and Domino’s in Newton.

Project AWAKE has teamed up with Friends of Newton Parks for the family-friendly event. Project AWAKE volunteers have organized a visit from Santa Claus and free family activities from 9 to 11 a.m.

Friends of Newton Parks will be using the money raised at Saturday’s breakfast to fund improvements to Newton’s more than two dozen parks.

The group, which is made up of volunteers, has identified a number of projects needed including replacement of more

than 200 trees lost due to age, storm damage and the Emerald Ash Borer.

The group also is working to add new amenities including an ice skating rink, which would be open to the public for free use throughout the winter season. The cost of the rink is $4,500 and the group hopes to raise enough money from the breakfast and other donations to purchase and install the ice rink during the 2014-2015 winter season.

Friends of Newton Parks advisor and city of Newton Administrative Park Superintendent Nathan Unsworth shared the group’s vision for the city’s parks.

“Friends of Newton Parks was formed by concerned citizens who not only see the need to improve, promote and preserve our city’s parks but also to enhance the quality of life in Newton for all its residents,” Unsworth said. “The group has identified projects and they really want to see the fruition of a free ice skating rink for all to enjoy if we can raise the full amount.”

The rink the group has selected would be approximately 60x93 feet and located in one of the city’s parks which would allow for parking, lighting and free, easy access to the rink.

Events such as a community skating party, lessons and an ice hockey league have been discussed by FONP members.

In Brief Congregational UCC to host Blue Christmas

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News St. Luke United Methodist Church will be holding its annual Christmas Program Sunday and Christmas Candies and Cookies Sale Dec. 13.

Christmas events planned at St. Luke United Methodist

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Several events are planned in the coming weeks at St. Luke United Methodist Church. The annual Christmas Program is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Sunday while the annual Christmas Candies and Cookies Sale is from 9 a.m. to noon Dec. 13 at the church, 501 E. 19th St. N. “It’s a Birthday Party for Jesus,” Peg Ehler, Director of the Christmas program said.

“We have anywhere from perschoolers to adults.”

The story begins with the children singing songs and older kids asking why they are having a birthday party for a man who has passed away.

Through several scenes, stories are told about a missionary and a little boy name Willy to tell why they are having the birth-

day party for Jesus. Gifts will be presented that have actual items for the food pantry and Salvation Army. One box will remain empty that a child will crawl into, saying “I didn’t have anything to give so I thought I would give myself, rounding out the story.”

An actual party for Jesus will take place after the service complete with pizza, birthday cake and ice cream. The community is invited to participate in the program with the only practice at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.

For more than 20 years, the church has put on a Christmas Candies and Cookies Sale to benefit missions both locally and over seas. This year, people will also have an opportunity to donate blood through LifeServe Blood Center and help assemble birthing kits that will be sent to the United Methodist Core Community on relief.

“Birthing kits are for women that might otherwise be giving birth under a tree or on a dirt floor,” the Rev. Audrey Young said.

A wide assortment of candies and cookies will be available for purchase with an option to fill a Red Bucket for $12.

“You get to walk around the tables and pick out the cookies that you want,” Young said.

“There will be a lot of candies and lot of decorated cookies.

We already have (a clipboard full) of people that have signed up to bring dozens (of cookies and candies).”

New and gently used gifts will be available for purchase and a Christmas decoration station is available for children.

Newton Congregational United Church of Christ will host a Blue Christmas: A Service of Worship from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the church.

People experience feelings of loneliness and isolation, depression and sadness at all times of the year and some especially so during the holiday season. The service of worship will acknowledge the reality that the season leading up to Christmas is not always full of joy, smiles and laughter and will include singing, prayers and scripture.

Light refreshments will be served following the service.

Newton Congregational UCC is located at 308 E. Second St. N.

Knights of Columbus to host Christmas Bingo The Knights of Columbus will host Christmas Bingo from 7 to 9 p.m., Dec. 13, at McCann Center, 1115 S. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton.

Twenty games will be played and winners will be awarded turkeys, prizes and gift certificates.

Bingo cards are $2.

First Baptist to host bell ringing event Dec. 13 First Baptist Church of Newton will host a bell ringing event for The Salvation Army from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Dec. 13, at the Newton Hy-Vee, 1501 First Ave. E. There will be a sign up sheet at the church soon for people to select a half-hour time slot to ring the bells. The church is located at 620 S. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton.

Pope, patriarch demand end to IS attacks ISTANBUL (AP) — Pope Francis and the spiritual leader of the world’s Orthodox Christians demanded an end to the persecution of religious minorities in Syria and Iraq on Sunday and called for a “constructive dialogue” with Muslims, capping the pontiff ’s three-day visit to Turkey with a strong show of Christian unity in the face of suffering and violence.

Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I issued a joint declaration urging leaders in the region to intensify assistance to victims of the Islamic State group, and especially to allow Christians who have had a presence in the region for 2,000 years to remain on their native lands.

“The terrible situation of Christians and all those who are suffering in the Middle East calls not only for our constant prayer but also for an appropriate response on the part of the international community,” they wrote.

Specifically, Francis told reporters on the way home from

Istanbul that all Islamic leaders — political, religious, academic — should clearly condemn terrorism so that their people hear it directly from their mouths.

“We need a global condemnation — including from Muslims — who say ‘This isn’t who we are.

This isn’t the Quran,’” he said.

Francis, who represents the 1.2 billion-strong Catholic Church, and Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of the world’s 300 million Orthodox Christians, called for “constructive dialogue” with Islam “based on mutual respect and friendship.”

“Inspired by common values and strengthened by genuine fraternal sentiments, Muslims and Christians are called to work together for the sake of justice, peace and respect for the dignity and rights of every person, especially in those regions where they once lived for centuries in peaceful coexistence and now tragically suffer together the horrors of war,” they said.

Francis’ outreach to Muslims in the Muslim nation, and his

Julie Kool Hodge

comments about the Islamic assault on Christians next door, took center stage during his brief visit: His prayer in Istanbul’s Sultan Ahmet mosque was replayed again and again on Turkish television in a sign that his gesture was greatly appreciated. And it seemed that the message was reciprocated: The grand mufti of Istanbul, Rahmi Yaran, who received him at the mosque, said he hoped that Francis’ visit would “contribute to the world getting along well and living in peace.”

Francis kicked off his final day in Turkey with a lengthy, twohour liturgy alongside Barthlomew in the Orthodox Church of St. George, where incense mingled with hypnotic chants and prayers on an important feast day for the Orthodox Church.

In his remarks Sunday, Francis assured the Orthodox faithful gathered in St. George’s that unity wouldn’t mean sacrificing their rich liturgical or cultural patrimony or “signify the submission of one to the other, or assimilation.”

First Christian Church will host a holiday concert “A Homestyle Family Christmas” at 4 p.m.

Dec. 14 at the church, 314 E. Second St. N. in Newton.

The concert features favorite holiday songs and stories and is part of Christian recording artists The Phil & Pam Morgan Family’s annual tour.

The group’s close family harmony and instrumental talent bring a fresh sound to both classic and contemporary Christmas carols.

The concert is modeled after the classic Christmas TV variety shows of yesteryear. The sanctuary is transformed into a giant “living room” where the audience is invited to share Christmas with the Morgan family. Carolers and special guests pop in from time to time to share special holiday memories and sing a song or two.

CDs and books will be available to purchase, and a love offering will be received for the Morgan’s 2015 ministry efforts. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. Seating is not reserved.

For more information, call the church at 641792-5850 or visit www.PhilandPamMorgan.com.

County approves new auditor clerk

Santa Continued from Page 1A one located in Grinnell. People have really enjoyed the rink and Friends of Newton Parks members want to bring this family-friendly, healthy and free amenity to their neighbors,” Unsworth said.

For more information on how to become involved with Friends of Newton Parks or to make a tax-deductible donation contact Unsworth at nathanu@newtongov.org, Friends President Andy Breurer at andy_breuer@yahoo.com or Friends Vice President Jessica Lowe at jessicaelowe@hotmail.com.

Maytag Continued from Page 1A the company had done.

“When we came from West Des Moines and put our pin in Grinnell, it included interest in communities all the way along the corridor,” said Kris Saddoris, vice president of development for Hubbell.

She said the buildings are in great condition with “good bones,” wide open spaces, exposed

Forum Continued from Page 1A “I’d hear one school on one side of town would get through 30 chapters, and the same section on another side of town would get through 16 or 18,” Bloom said. “I think they’ve merged that better, and to keep them basically at the same level.”

Bloom also said he thinks pre-kindergarten programs could be done at all elementary sites; there could be more instructional teacher coaches, and the district should apply for leadership grants.

Hoffmeier told the board she wanted to know, as a taxpayer, what the district will do with each facility if no major reconfiguration happens.

The School Improve-

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A new auditor clerk was approved for hire at the Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday. Susan Young was hired after the departure of a current employee.

After an internal search for the position, Auditor Dennis Parrott said the office advertised the em-

brick and great ceilings.

Hubbell has already put in $365,000 cash into the project and is looking to get historic credits from both the state and federal level totaling $2.51 million.

Hubbell will also be utilizing Low Income Housing Tax Credits through the Iowa Finance Authority, a highly competitive process which may necessitate local government contribution.

“The reality of is the

differentiator for a lot of these projects will be that contribution,” Saddoris said.

The exact contribution the city would make was not discussed, but examples such as tax abatement were given.

“I’m confident in the community and the growth in the community,” Saddoris said.

ment Advisory Committee made a recommendation in September to re-open the Emerson Hough building as a regular school.

This is something that can only be done if Basics & Beyond and other current tenants are moved to another facility, such as the recently purchased former Hy-Vee Building. It would also allow Emerson Hough to be used as a regular K-5 school, which could affect several other campuses.

Hoffmeier said the district needs to update its facilities if it wants to attract people to Newton.

“If I were a young person, coming to Newton and looking for a place to live, I’m not sure I would come,” she said.

“I’d look at the schools and see what we’ve done

over a long period of time. We’ve done a lot of things that are really good, but I’d be looking at the high school, and saying ‘We never can make it be like it is at Southeast Polk or Indianola or Ankeny. We need something that will bring people to this community.”

Hoffmeier also recommended aides for kindergarten and the first grade.

Simbro said he wanted to see a time frame for any reconfiguration that is approved. He also wants to see an April pre-registration session for the upcoming school years.

Muhs said she’s been told special education and other ancillary personnel would either be spread thin or converted into regular classroom

ployment opportunity and received multiple interested parties.

“We got 15 applications, interviewed three people and we decided to hire Susan Young,” Parrott said.

Young’s position is effective Dec. 15 at a starting wage of $14.22 per hour.

In other business, two approval of transfer orders were granted by the board for De-

cember payments on the interest of two bonds. A payment of $126,171.31 was made on the TPI/Opus Economic Development Grant which total $4,825,000. A second payment of $17,097.50 was made to the GO Bond.

teachers if reconfiguration happens. She praised the special-education personnel who work in the district.

“They’ve kind of got it to a well-oiled machine now,” Muhs said.

After the meeting, board member Donna Cook said there are no plans to cut or reassign any support personnel.

Not only has the board not formally approved any type of reconfiguration, but such approval would not necessarily mean cuts, layoffs or “repurposing” of any staff.

“Lower class sizes does not mean the elimination of anyone,” Cook said. “We’re having these forums so that professionals can tell us what they think is the best thing for the kids.

No rock will be left unturned when we look at

what’s next, and it’s not like there are only two options.”

Alicia Weithers said she had to explain some of her daughter’s circumstances when she went to new campuses, and reconfiguration might mean she’d need to explain it all again.

Reynolds said class size, which seems to be one of the main driving forces behind the study of reconfiguration, isn’t as important as other factors, such as how well teachers are collaborating now.

“I just want to make sure decisions are based on those kinds of things, and not necessarily how easy it is to drop your kid off at school,” he said.

Muhs commented on class size not being a goal that should be pur-

sued at any cost.

“If you asked me, ‘Do I want to travel around the world?’, well, sure, I’d love to,” she said. “But if you said, ‘Oh, you have to give up your kids to do it,’ well, no, then I don’t want to do it.”

The board discussed the results of the recently completed teacher survey at last week’s regular board meeting.

The board will conduct a public reconfiguration work session at 6:30 p.m.

Dec. 18, at Emerson Hough, just four days before its only regularly scheduled meeting of December. The board will not interact with the public during the Dec. 18 session.

Use 2 numerals, 1 special character

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Dec. 3, 2014

Usernames and passwords are becoming my archrivals.

They’re not my archrivals in the way that villains are the archrivals of comic-book superheroes. In fact, managing and remembering usernames and passwords are starting to make me feel less like a superhero than ever before.

I’m not sure if superheroes are required to choose a username they’ve never used on a particular account — one that is alphanumeric, requires at least one numeral, a special character and doesn’t repeat the same letter or number three times or more. If so, hopefully their special powers will encompass super memory skills — skills that far exceed mine.

People have had tons of suggestions for ways to remember passwords. There are online services and password-storage software; there are sequences and rules to remember in sort of a self-sequenced system, and tricks to help remember certain combinations.

None of these tricks have helped me that much. Some combinations, like the ones I need to use every day, practi-

cally roll off the fingers, but the brain is tasked with so much to remember, the lesser-used combos fall by the memory wayside, last seen tumbling into a bottomless pit of forget.

Many readers should be able to relate when I announce I’m not the most tech-savvy person.

Born too late to have much of an excuse, but too early to have grown up with high-tech gadgetry, I think back to when “space-age technology” and “the same ice cream eaten by real astronauts” were regularly used in advertising lexicon as serious statements.

There’s no time for any of us to waste in feeling sorry for ourselves. Not only will life “time out” due to 10 minutes of inactivity, but we may well end up in some sort of “inactive” file if we don’t remember what color car we wanted to have growing up. Or the name of our first pets.

The impetus for such frivolous naming systems is simple to understand. Hackers seem to be accessing larger and larger databases all the time, and while code-cracking doesn’t prevent all types of identity

theft, most online business is set up to at least stop amateurs or friends-turned-enemies from doing too much damage.

No matter how important and relevant passwords might be, it’s still a lot for one brain to crunch.

It feels like an especially huge, complex task for those who left by the side of the “information superhighway” in a pile of stagnant, alphanumeric dust. I learned the “qwerty” keypad on an electric typewriter — a luxury my mother never had during her school days, she says.

Sometimes I wonder if the only people who will be able to get anything done in the future are those who can remember usernames and passwords.

We aren’t really at the point yet where we need numbers or letters to get food, water or electricity. However, if you have to give your mother’s maiden name over the phone to get the heat turned on, we’re not that far away from knowledge-based survival.

Some password prompts are easier than others. What if you’ve moved a lot when

you were young, and can’t remember what you entered for “the first street you lived on?”

This could cause someone to miss out something coveted — such as bacon.

My greatest fear isn’t really that I’ll miss out on a food coupon or have my Earth residency revoked for forgetting a password (Do Martians have usernames and PINs? Or is that just this planet?).

I fear younger people will laugh at me and not take me seriously, as I’m behind the times and don’t have the latest technology mastered.

If I can focus on a few password rules and suggestions, I don’t think I’ll end up out on the street with no resources. The situation isn’t that dire.

However, I’m also hoping to remember the right amount of ampersands and asterisks to get through each day without help from a superhero — as long as the day isn’t case-sensitive.

Does this definition make me look rich?

By Sam Pizzigati How much income do America’s households take in? How much do they have left after taxes? Do federal taxes leave the nation less or more unequal?

Questions don’t get much more basic than these. Or more complicated. How, for instance, do we define income? Anything anybody collects from a paycheck, of course, should count.

But what about the money an employer shells out to cover an employee’s health insurance premiums?

Or safety net benefits like unemployment insurance? Should these dollars count?

Conservatives regularly claim that we need a much more expansive definition of income than we can get from looking at people’s tax returns.

Statistics based on tax returns, they argue, overstate the income share of America’s rich because they don’t take into account the value of the government benefits — like food stamps — that the poor collect.

Conservatives who consider America’s affluent the victims of an oppressive, tax-hungry federal government have already begun scouring a new study from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office for ammunition. They’ve found some.

In 2011, the new CBO numbers show, America’s top 1 percent took

in 14.6 percent of all income and paid 24 percent of all federal taxes.

So should we all now feel sorry for America’s most affluent?

Hardly. The new CBO study, taken as a whole, actually reinforces what most Americans already suspect: In modern times, things have never been better for America’s wealthiest. They sit comfortably atop a staggeringly unequal nation.

And that inequality stands out starkly even when researchers define income in a way that tends to deflate the share of the rich and inflate the share of everyone else.

The Congressional Budget Office study counts nearly every possible benefit that low- and middleincome Americans receive from government or their employers as part of their income. The report, its authors acknowledge, “strives to measure income as broadly as possible and thus includes in income some items that people may not usually consider to be part of income.”

Items like employer-paid health insurance premiums. In this new CBO study, these premiums count as income for the working families that receive them. So do their employers’ shares of payroll taxes for Social Security, Medicare, and federal unemployment insurance — as well as the value of benefits lowerincome households receive from social safety net programs ranging from food stamps to free school

lunches.

Meanwhile, the CBO counts the dollars corporations pay in taxes on their profits as a tax on rich people, since rich people own the bulk of corporate assets. In the CBO breakdown, 75 percent of the taxes corporations pay gets counted as taxes paid by America’s most affluent.

The sum total of all these definitional choices? Lower-income people end up looking richer than they do on their income tax returns, and higher-income people end up looking poorer.

But the CBO report goes on to show that inequality in America, even after all these statistical contortions, just keeps getting worse.

How much worse?

Between 1979 and 2011, the study shows, the after-tax income of America’s top 1 percent tripled after inflation — rising 200 percent to an average $1,453,100.

This huge boost for the nation’s top 1 percent ran over four times the income increase that America’s poorest fifth of households realized, and five times greater than gains for middle-income Americans.

However we define income, in other words, the richest Americans are getting much more than their fair share.

OtherWords columnist Sam Pizzigati, an Institute for Policy Studies associate fellow, edits the inequality weekly Too Much.

I did not shop on Thanksgiving. I did not shop on Black Friday. In fact, I took all of November off. And I ’ m thinking of making December a shoppingf r e e month, t o o .

When it

By Katiedid comes to Langrock gift giving, I’ve become a regular Ebenezer Scrooge.

Despite my love of literary antiheroes, I diverge from my Dickensian soul mate when it comes to children. There is a magic to the winter season that all children have the right to lap up and blanket themselves in, often culminating with a nod to a supernatural spirit and a gift in their tiny hands. I would not dare detour from that gold mine of childhood glee and memory-making, no matter how cranky my constitution.

But buying for adults, ugh! Gift buying for adults should be banned. A crime punishable by a year of hard labor in Santa’s elf factory, no matter your religion. Or age. Or height. Or pointiness of shoe.

The act of adult gift giving puts unnecessary burden and stress on an already chaotic season. The money!

The crowds! The timesuck! The traffic-induced bouts of homicidal rage that leaves you feeling justified in cutting off Rudolph and flipping him the bird!

Below are my rules for adult gift buying, immediately implementable for a happier, merrier holiday season, guaranteed. Go ahead and try it.

1) A $5 limit for presents. Over the years (centuries?), we’ve developed a ridiculous depth-of-loveto-cost-of-gift ratio. If that ratio held any merit, we would all be incensed at receiving anything less than our own tropical island from our mothers.

Seeing as my mommy has

yet to buy me a palm tree, let alone an island, I’m left to assume this algorithm is out of rhythm.

Why are we engaging in the stress of buying expensive presents with money that we may or may not have? It’s absurd. An absurdity that reaches its nadir in the exchange of gift cards, both parties subjecting themselves to the horrors of mall crowds, simply to be in the same place they were when they started shopping. Only angrier.

And curious as to how long it will take to spend their new $50 gift certificate to Burger King.

2) Location, location, location. No more running to different stores across town, getting dinged by motorists in the parking lot and getting unintentionally groped by fellow shoppers, only to find out the last whatchamacallit was nabbed by that jerk who just dinged your car. Enough. You may only buy a present from a place where you already are shopping. For example, if you are grocery shopping, pick up a bouquet of flowers. A pretty color of hair dye for your friend who is starting to go gray. Goldfish crackers. A fish-shaped container to hold the Goldfish. If you’re getting your oil changed, why not pick up an air freshener for Mom’s car or a silly bumper sticker for your sister?

If you’re at a strip club ... well, take some time to ask yourself why you’re at a strip club. And then look to see whether there is a gift shop.

3) That’s an unwrap!

Enough already with the measuring and the taping and the cutting and the folding. Nothing says “No, really, I was thinking about you this holiday season” better than handing over a present wrapped in birthday paper because you ran out of your snowman print.

If you want your gift to remain a surprise until it is time to commence the exchange, stuff it under your shirt, or hold it behind your back. Better yet, leave it in your car until it’s time for the present exchange.

Photo gallery of perfection makes woman feel insecure

DEAR ABBY: I was divorced three years ago and have had a boyfriend, “Roger,” for a year and a half. He is seven years younger, and he’s intrigued with women on the Internet.

He saves tons of photos of these girls on his cellphone. These ladies are “perfect.” They have big breasts and curvaceous behinds, etc. I have had two kids.

I’m not overweight and I exercise and keep myself in shape, but I have a “Mom body.”

Roger has told me he loves my body and everything about me. But the feeling I get is that he wishes I looked like those girls.

I have asked Roger not to save these photos because it makes me insecure.

If he’s going to look, fine. But saving them is another thing. He promised me he wouldn’t, but some of them are still there. So he not only makes me feel like a fatty, but he lies to me, too. He has more pictures of other girls than he does of me.

Now I no longer feel comfortable undressing in front of him. I leave my clothes half-on and turn out the lights when we have sex. He has made me unable to stand myself. What do I do? — CAN’T COMPARE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CAN’T COMPARE: The first thing to do would be to stop looking at your boyfriend’s cellphone. Then ask yourself whether he has been seeing other women or just collecting pictures.

If it’s the former, you have something to worry about. If it’s the latter, it’s no reflection on you, and he has voyeuristic tendencies (men are visual).

Stop making comparisons. He says he loves your body. Unless you have a solid reason to think differently, believe him.

You are overdue for a frank talk with Roger, and when you do, tell him everything you have written to me. Your problem may go deeper than his photo gallery and your lowered self-image. If you can’t

trust what he tells you, the foundation of your relationship isn’t solid.

DEAR ABBY: I’m carrying a heavy burden concerning my 14-year-old grandson. He told me in strictest confidence that he had sex with a 14-year-old girl. I have been his male support system, mentor, adviser, disciplinarian and friend for 12 years because his father is rarely in the picture.

He swore me to secrecy, which I want to respect, but I’m torn about telling my daughter. She has a right to know that her son is sexually active and needs closer supervision. We discussed condoms (they used them), accidental pregnancy, possible criminal charges and responsibility, but I think he is more proud than alert to the possible consequences.

If I share this with my daughter, I break a long-held trust. When I urged him to tell his mother, he refused. What do I do? This is tearing me up. — KANSAS GRANDPA DEAR GRANDPA: Without betraying the confidence, start talking to your daughter about how, at 14, her son is fast becoming a man with all that it entails, including raging hormones. Then suggest she have some frank talks with the boy and keep a closer eye on him, unless she wants to become a grandma before he’s out of high school.

1950 graduate gives $4 million to Grinnell GRINNELL — Grinnell College has received a $4 million bequest from a graduate who died last year after a successful career as a tax attorney. The college announced Tuesday that 1950 Grinnell graduate Marilyn Walsh had made the gift to establish a scholarship for Iowa residents admitted to the school. Walsh was a native of Woodbine who received a bachelor’s degree in history, then earned law degrees at New York University. She worked as a tax attorney, first at a Wall Street firm and then at CBS.

2 Trial proceedings postponed in Tama slaying case

TOLEDO — A judge has postponed trial proceedings in Iowa for a man charged with first-degree murder in his wife’s death.

Judge Stephen Jackson Jr. made the decision Tuesday in the trial of 39-year-old Dustin Jefferson. It’s unclear when it will resume. Defense attorney Thomas Gaul argued the racial makeup of the jury pool did not reflect Jefferson’s community.

Iowa Guardsmen warned about social media info

DES MOINES — Iowa National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve troops are being warned to remove personal and military data from their social media accounts, lest the information help terrorists launch attacks inside the United States.

Officials with the Iowa National Guard and the Army Reserve’s 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) at Fort Des Moines, which oversees 5,000 troops in four states, said troops won’t be barred from using social media accounts.

Iowa regents to consider scope of tuition freeze IOWA CITY — How far should a tuition freeze go? That’s one key question that will face members of the Iowa Board of Regents when they meet by phone Wednesday afternoon. The board is widely expected to adopt a third straight tuition freeze for undergraduate students from Iowa at the state’s three public universities.

That would affect roughly 40,000 students.

But it’s unclear whether the board will freeze rates for students from other states as well as graduate and professional students.

5 Dubuque man pleads guilty in child sex sting case

DUBUQUE — A man who police say was confronted by a group of women when trying to meet a 9-year-old girl for sex has taken a deal with prosecutors. Lonnie Burns, 23, pleaded guilty to a first-degree harassment charge. A child enticement charge was dismissed in the deal. Police say Burns arrived at an apartment June 30 after communicating on Facebook with a person who he thought was a young girl.

Advocacy group launches campaign for road funding The Associated Press DES MOINES — Advocates seeking more funding for Iowa’s bridges and roads have launched an aggressive advertising campaign to build support among residents and lawmakers.

In a television ad that started airing Monday, a narrator notes the thousands of structurally deficient bridges in Iowa, while footage of a bus full of singing school children scrolls across the screen. At the end of the ad, paid for by the Iowa Good Roads Association, the voice of an emergency operator says, “We have a bridge collapse with

a bus full of school children.”

David Scott, executive director of the association, said the ad will air in media markets across the state for at least two weeks and is part of a bigger campaign that will cost between $500,000 and $800,000 over several months. Scott hopes the ad, produced by Republican-leaning consulting firm Redwave Communications, will get people thinking about road conditions.

“A lot of people just don’t see the problem. They drive across structurally deficient bridges, but they don’t know it,” Scott said.

Scott said his group, which

includes trucking companies and auto dealers, wants to see an increase in dedicated funding for road repairs. The group is not directly calling for an increase in the state fuel tax, which has failed in the Legislature in the past, though that would be one option.

A spokeswoman for Gov. Terry Branstad did not respond to a question about the ad campaign but said the governor was interested in working with lawmakers on infrastructure funding in 2015.

“The governor wants to look at a variety of funding methods to further strengthen Iowa’s road use tax fund,” Greta John-

son said in a statement.

Lindsay McQuarry, policy director for Iowans for Tax Relief, said her group opposes any increase to the fuel tax. She said lawmakers should be strategic with the resources available.

“We’ve seen record spending on Iowa roads. It’s a matter of prioritizing needs, not that there’s not funds available,” McQuarry said.

Iowa’s fuel tax — now 22 cents per gallon, including fees — hasn’t been raised since 1989. A commission appointed by Branstad in 2011 recommended an increase of 8 to 10 cents a gallon.

The American Road and Transportation Builders Association reports that 5,043 bridges in Iowa were structurally deficient in 2013. That’s 21 percent of the bridges in the state. Iowa ranked second nationally for the number of deficient bridges, based on federal data.

Republican House Speaker Kraig Paulsen said he hadn’t seen the ad but expected the Legislature to consider transportation funding when lawmakers convene in 2015. It’s too early to say if there was support for a fuel tax increase in the Republican-majority House, Paulsen said.

John Deere museum opening in Waterloo The Associated Press WATERLOO — The John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum opened Tuesday in Waterloo, offering a glimpse at how the company has become ingrained in the community.

The partnership between city of Waterloo, home of John Deere’s largest manufacturing complex, and the company is a theme of the museum. It features stories

about key individuals who guided John Deere during its early years while also displaying company products and memorabilia, such as vintage tractors, blueprints of the complex and manuals.

“It’s fun to walk Waterloo folks through here, because they come in thinking they know John Deere and their city, and they walk out with a new perspective,” one of the museum’s curators, Joshua Waddle, said.

Some might not know that the manufacturer’s arrival caused concern among many Waterloo residents in 1918. That’s

Cardinals shoot past Boone in season opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Newton High’s Cardinal boys did not get

bogged down in their slow start in Tuesday’s season opener at home against Boone’s Toreadors. After falling be-

hind 6-2, the Cardinals outscored the visitors 15-6 to claim the lead by the end of the first quarter.

Newton never trailed again. Led by the outside shooting of senior guard Tyler Wood, the Cardinals posted a 68-

53 win. Wood scored 17 of his game-high 30 points in the first half.

Wood scorched the nylons for five 3-pointers

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Taking the lane is Newton senior Tyler Wood (12) with four Boone defenders collapsing on him. Wood scored and converted a free throw for three points on the play. Wood finished with 30 points, hitting five 3-pointers, to lead the Cardinals to a 68-53 win at home Tuesday in the Cards’ season opener.

Newton girls fall to Winterset

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WINTERSET — Throw out the two middle quarters of Tuesday night’s road game at Winterset and Newton High’s girls have something to build on.

Trailing by seven after the first quarter, the Cardinals couldn’t muster a rally.

Winterset held a 27-18 halftime lead. Newton was held to seven points in the third quarter as the Huskies fired in 17 points. The Cardinals could not recover falling 57-40.

“It was an ugly showing from us,” said Brandon Sharp, Newton head coach.

Newton shot 46 percent from the field, but only took 35 shots in the game. The Cardinals went 7-of-18 from the free-throw line.

The Cardinals are 0-4.

They open Little Hawkeye Conference play at home Friday against Pella Christian.

Sydney Jenkins, who was 6-of-10 at the free-throw line, led the Cardinals Tuesday with 10 points and five steals.

Macy Leonard added seven points. Michaela Jacobsen tossed in six points, grabbed seven of the team’s 39 rebounds and dished out three assists.

Ryanne Rausch scored five points while Alex Hutchinson and Ellie Horn each had four points.

Scoring two points apiece were Courtney Jacobsen and Hannah Rhoads. Taylor Shipley pulled down five rebounds.

on the night.

Senior guard Nick Easley provided 19 points. Both Wood and Easley were tough at the free-throw line. Wood was 9-of-10 and Easley finished 6-of-7. The Cardinals worked well at the line all night, hitting 22-of-25 free throw attempts.

“It was a pretty typical first game. We have a lot of guys back and some new guys trying find their roles and fit in. It took us a little to get going,” said Nick Wilkins, Newton head coach. “Everyone knows that Tyler is our best player. It’s going to be a little bit of how Tyler goes, we’re going to go.”

Wilkins said he was pleased with what he saw from all the players who played in the varsity game. Most teams know Wood is the top player back for Newton, he said, “but that’s alright since we have guys who can score from other places.”

Boone opened the game with a 3-pointer from Ethan Lewis.

Newton junior Joseph Banfield scored inside to make it 3-2, but the Cardinals went more than two minutes without scoring. Easley hit a jump shot at the 4:11 mark to break the drought.

Third-quarter surge pushes PCM to victory

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — There were a lot of questions that needed to be answered for both the Prairie City-Monroe and South Hamilton boys’ basketball teams on Tuesday.

PCM was coming off a 17-5 season in which four of the top five scorers, rebounders and assist leaders graduated.

South Hamilton went 21-4 last year, advanced to the state tournament but graduated seven of its top eight scorers, rebounders and assist leaders.

Mustang head coach Fred Lorensen knew what he had in sophomore Logan Gilman, but he got a chance to check out the rest of his inexperienced roster for the first time Tuesday in the season opener and while the results were mixed, the overall performance created a 61-52 victory in Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play.

Gilman finished with a game-high 18 points, but the Mustangs also got 13 from Trey Lindsay, nine from Ricky Reeve and Luke Pendroy and eight from Tyler Townsend.

The game was tied at halftime and each team scored 16 points in the final quarter, but PCM surged ahead for good in the third as pressure defense led to easy buckets in transition and an 18-9 advantage in the quarter.

That nine-point margin was the difference in the final score of a game that featured the first- and second-place finishers in the HOIAC last year.

“This year’s team has a lot of speed and they can attack the basket,” said Lorensen. “We were able to get some easy buckets in the third and that ended up being the difference in the game.”

Gilman scored 11 of his 18 points in the first quarter, but the Hawks (0-1, 0-1) adjusted their defense and forced someone else to beat them.

The Mustangs led 17-12 after one but it was 27-all at halftime despite a pair of triples from Lindsay in the second quarter.

South Hamilton scored five of the first seven points of the third, but then PCM used an 8-0 run to go up 37-32.

Two buckets inside the paint from

Pendroy and a three-point play from Reeve spearheaded the spurt and then three straight points from Lindsay and a hoop inside from Townsend capped a 13-2 run and Townsend’s three-point play with 7 seconds to go in the quarter gave the Mustangs an insurmountable

nine-point advantage.

Five of Townsend’s eight points came in the third and then he hit three of his four free throw attempts in the fourth to give PCM a boost off the bench.

Ranked PCM pummels Hawks

Raider wrestlers begin season with narrow win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

MONROE — There is no denying who the go-to players are for the Prairie City-Monroe girls’ basketball team.

The Class 3A No. 12 Mustangs will rely heavily on seniors Rachel Freland and Courtney VanHouweling to provide the punch of an offensive attack that is predicated on getting easy buckets with pressure defense.

And in a 10-7 game against South Hamilton, it was VanHouweling and Freland that got the Mustangs going and the squad never looked back in winning its second straight Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference game here Tuesday.

VanHouweling began a 21-0 run with nine consecutive points and then Freland scored the first 10 points of the second quarter to cap the run and put the Mustangs up 31-7.

PCM went on to win 60-25, improving to 2-0 in the HOIAC. “They will definitely carry us this year,” PCM coach Bret Grier said. “They are very good basketball players who have had lots of court time.”

Freland finished with a game-high 21 points, while VanHouweling added 15.

VanHouweling finished the second quarter with a pair of treys and the Mustangs led 50-12 at the break, creating little suspense to a second half that included a continuous clock for the entire 16 minutes.

Many of the Mustang points came in transition as they forced South Hamilton into a lot of turnovers and that created plenty of easy buckets at the offensive end.

“We don’t have a post presence or a backto-the-basket type player on this team, so we want to get as many easy buckets in transition as we can,” Grier said. “We have a ton of speed and playing that

Iske pinned Luke Ferguson with two seconds to go in the second period at 138 and then Cozad followed with a second-period fall of Cody Weier.

Nevada (0-1, 0-1) rallied for four straight wins at 152, 160, 170 and 182, but Mitchell’s pin over Logsdon Trice with six seconds to go in the first period sealed the deal for the Raiders.

way just fits our personnel.”

Freland scored five of the Mustangs’ seven points in the third before finding a seat on the bench for the remainder of the game.

South Hamilton, which won just two games all of last year, won the second half 1310 after scoring eight in the final frame.

The Hawks (0-2, 0-2) never got to double-digits in any quarter and were led by Allyson Ervin’s 15 points.

With the game well in hand in the first half, Grier decided to clear his bench for the entire fourth quarter and also to work on things that need improvements.

One of those improvements involved man-to-man defense.

“We don’t play a lot of man defense, but I know at some point, a team is going to make us play it,” Grier said. “So we were able to work on it some tonight. And it was good to get some of the younger and inexperienced players into the game.

“We have some seniors to replace after this year and we need to start developing some depth for this year and get others ready for next year.”

Sophomore Katie VandeWall played her best game of the season, finishing with eight points and eight rebounds, while sophomore Kayla Jennings chipped in six points and six boards.

Va n H o u w e l i n g pulled down five boards,

dished out seven assists and had seven steals in the win, while Freland grabbed five boards, delivered four assists and collected three steals.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PLEASANTVILLE — A tough stretch in each of Colfax-Mingo’s season-opening duals doomed the Tigerhawks here Tuesday.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NEVADA — A strong first quarter by the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter boys’ basketball team went for naught Tuesday night.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B first lead of the game at 8-7 with 2:40 left in the first quarter. After Lewis sank two free throws, Wood began to get his shooting range down.

Fans saw three 3-pointers in a row. Wood started it with Tanner Schminke responding in kind for Boone, then Wood drilled another trey.

Wood added three more on a conventional three-point play with 38 seconds on the clock, putting Newton up 17-12.

Jordan Travis, senior forward, got the first basket of the second quarter. Wood and Easley downed four straight free throws to increase the Cardinal lead to 23-12 in the first two minutes of the period. Boone made a run at the Cardinals, but Newton outscored the Toreadors 16-10 in the period to take a 33-22 advantage into halftime.

“We talked about the good things and the bad things we did,” Wood said about the Cardinals’ halftime talk. “We knew if we played tough defense like we did the first four minutes of the second quarter

and finish at the basket on the offensive end, we’d be hard to beat.

“We had some first-game jitters at the start. We got those out of the way and started playing our game.”

Points didn’t come quickly in the third quarter. Easley scored at the 7:31 mark then

again at 5:04 mark to put Newton up 27-22. Boone finally got a bucket for the second half from Bailey Turner.

That was answered by a deep 3-pointer from Wood.

The Cardinals held their own with a 14-12 scoring edge in the third quarter.

They took a 47-32 lead into

the final eight minutes of play.

Boone senior Ashton Clemons scored three points on the inside to spark a little run by his team. Back-toback 3-pointers from Lewis and Turner pushed Boone to within 11, 52-41, with 5:52 remaining in the game.

Wood hit a shot on drive down the lane for Newton and drained a 3-pointer to give the Cards a 57-44 lead at the 3:37 mark. Boone got within 10 points, 59-49, but no closer down the stretch.

Garrett Sturtz, Easley and Trey Vanderlaan sank free throws to stave off the Boone rally. Senior Devin Shores had a bucket with 1:58 left to put the Cardinals up 53-51.

“It’s nice to get the win and we can build from there.

We did a lot of good things tonight — shooting 22-of-25 from the free-throw line, if we can do that every night we’ll be hard to beat,” Wilkins said.

“We do have things to work on and improve. It’s encouraging to be able to say we played pretty well and won, knowing we can get a lot better.”

The Cardinals converted on 6-of-18 3-point field goal attempts. They were 20-of46 from the field overall.

They controlled 30 rebounds and had 18 assists as a team.

Newton turned the ball over 13 times.

Lynnville-Sully boys, girls dominate Tri-County

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News THORNBURG — Lynnville-Sully’s basketball teams had little trouble with their hosts Tuesday night. The Hawk girls and boys swept past the Tri-County Trojans in South Iowa Cedar League play.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls started off the night with a commanding 60-30 win over the Tri-County girls. The Hawk girls are 3-0 on the season.

Lynnville-Sully’s boys were just as dominating in their season opener against TriCounty. The Hawk boys powered past the Trojans 66-25.

“We were able to create some turnovers, which led to some easy baskets,” said Nick Harthoorn, Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach. “I thought we played unselfishly on offense. It was good to see everyone get involved the first night out.”

The Hawk boys notched 19 assists as nine players scored

PCM Continued from Page 1B “He did a nice job for us,” Lorensen said. “We needed that at the time of the game, too.”

Even though the Hawks never got closer than five in the final frame, Lorensen was not happy with how his team closed out the victory. PCM forced its visitors into 12 secondhalf turnovers, but the Mustangs also committed 15 in the game and most of them came in the fourth.

Lindsay and Greiner both hit buckets and got fouled after South Hamilton closed to within six and five late in the fourth. Reeve finished off the win with a layup in the final seconds.

“You would think they could just go and do that, but they’ll be a learning curve with this group,” said Lorensen of the up-and-down fourth quarter. “Most of these guys haven’t played varsity basketball before so it’ll be a process.”

Lindsay added six steals, five assists and three rebounds to his 13 points, while Gilman pulled down a team-high eight boards.

Pendroy chipped in six boards and three assists,

for LynnvilleSully. On the inside, junior forward Kyle Van Dyke did the damage with 19 points, six rebounds and two blocked shots. Senior Van Dyke guard Jake Brand contributed 12 points plus dished out five assists.

Lynnville-Sully’s boys were up 19-3 after one quarter and carried a 32-13 lead into halftime. They outscored Tri-County 34-14 in the second half.

The Hawks shot 50 percent, 30-of-60, overall from the field. They were 29-of-45 from two-point range, which is 64 percent. Lynnville-Sully went 6-of-12 at the free-throw line.

Senior guard Caleb James pulled down seven of the team’s 38 rebounds. Tyler Van Zante, a sophomore, had six rebounds. Senior guard Ben Trettin came up with five of the team’s 14 steals in the

while Greiner had five rebounds. PCM, which travels to Roland-Story on Friday, won the battle on the boards, 28-22.

“We are still trying to figure out our depth,” Lorensen said. “There were some guys who did not play tonight who may factor into the rotation at some point. We have lots of room for improvement.”

South Hamilton’s best player from last year’s state tournament team was sophomore Collin Hill, but he missed the game and will miss several weeks with a foot injury suffered during football season.

Freshman Marco Balderas scored a teamhigh 14 points in his varsity debut off the bench. Senior Andy Cook added 13 but no other South Hamilton player scored more than six.

game.

Tri-County got a doubledouble from sophomore Jacob Bombel, who scored 12 points and grabbed 11 of the team’s 18 rebounds. The Trojans were 10-of-38 from the field overall and 3-of-6 on charity tosses.

Powered by four players scoring in double digits, Lynnville-Sully’s girls pushed past Tri-County. Kasiah Ehresman fired in 14 points to top the scoring list followed

by Brenna Lanser with 12.

Shelby Davis and Marissa Vos each added 10 points.

The Hawk girls busted loose for a 13-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Trojan girls made a run, outscoring the Hawks 14-13 in the second period to narrow the margin. Lynnville-Sully took a 26-20 lead into the break.

No such rally by the Trojans in the second half. Lynnville-Sully clamped down defensively, giving up just 10 points in the final two quarters. The Hawk girls scored 15 points in the third period

and 19 in the fourth.

“It is nice to have good balance in our scoring. It is making us better on the offensive end, when we have different girls Ehresman step up for us,” said Jerry Hulsing, LynnvilleSully girls’ head coach. “At times we did a good job of pushing the ball. We still have some room to grow on the defensive end in our communication.”

The Lynnville-Sully girls shot just 30 percent, 18-of60, from the field. They drive to the basket which gets them to the free-throw line. At TriCounty, the Hawks cashed in on 18-of-33 free throw attempts while their hosts were 4-of-10 at the line.

Lynnville-Sully held a 5337 rebounding edge over the Trojans. Lanser and Vos each had a double-double as they pulled down 15 rebounds and

11 rebounds, respectively, to go with their double-figure scoring. James claimed 12 rebounds. Davis had three steals and four assists.

Ginny Schmidt and Katilyn Little each scored seven points to lead Tri-County.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls host Montezuma in SICL play Friday night at Sully. On Saturday, the Lynnville-Sully girls and boys step out of league play to take on Eddyville-Blakesburg.

Hawk wrestlers go 2-1 to begin season

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Hitting the mat in a double dual to start the 2014-15 wrestling season, Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks claimed two team victories in three duals Tuesday night.

The Hawks defeated host BGM 48-22, winning four matches by falls and four by forfeits. Against Pekin, LynnvilleSully racked up four wins by pins, one by a decision and three via forfeits to win 45-24.

Lynnville-Sully dropped a 4830 decision to Sigourney. The Hawks got three pins against the Savages by senior Cole Nickell at 113 pounds, freshman Sage Zylstra at 126 and sophomore Caden Dunsbergen at 138. Carson Dunsbergen, a freshman, won by forfeit in the 132-pound match.

“The kids wrestled pretty good for our first meet out,” said Steve Northcutt, Lynnville-Sully head coach. “We found some things we need to work on, but overall the effort was there and I was pleased with their effort.”

Nickell went 3-0 with pins of Sigourney’s Luke House in 1 minute, 3 seconds and Pekin’s Clayton McKim in 2:49. He won by forfeit against BGM. Sage Zylstra also went 3-0 with two pins of BGM’s Curtis Klein in 1:16 and Nick Ives of Sigourney in 2:50. He tallied a 10-3 decision over Pekin’s Clayton Greiner.

Caden Dunsbergen recorded the fastest pin of the night for

S. Zylstra

Lynnville-Sully. He put Sigourney’s Bryce Goldman on his back for the win in 55 seconds. Carson Dunsbergen had two pins and a forfeit win to go 3-0. He pinned Dalton Alexander of BGM in 2:53 and got the fall in 1:16 against Pekin’s Drake Harbison.

In the BGM dual, junior Jack Hardin pinned Price Hall in 2:27 in the 170-pound match and freshman Cayden Johnson pinned Taylor Kane in 57 seconds at 145. Johnson also had a pin of Skyler Juhl of Pekin. Senior Noah Zylstra, LynnvilleSully’s 182-pounder, pinned Tyler Copeland of Pekin in 1:11.

Lynnville-Sully goes to Montezuma for dual meets Thursday.

The Hawks return to Montezuma on Saturday for a tournament.

Under the current expansive Sagittarian influences, relationships can be a bit all over the place, having the potential to scatter energy to the wind. The Taurus moon has a public service announcement: Stay grounded. Valuable information will be revealed tonight, which centered people will be able to process and quickly act upon.

to witness those who help you see what’s possible.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 3). You’re a lover, not a fighter — until you need to fight for what you love.

Your social conscience will be activated this year. Instead of avoiding confrontation, you actively seek it as an advocate for those who have been unjustly treated. This month and May bring windfalls. The most romantic times are March and July. Pisces and Gemini people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 13, 44, 38, 22 and 17.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). It’s easy to get so wrapped up in celebrity culture that you begin comparing yourself to the mighty players. Today this isn’t about Hollywood; it’s about the superstars of your community or industry.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The efforts you make now will help you put on a fantastic performance later. Stock up on inspiration, and don’t deprive yourself of any opportunity

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). The loving thing to do isn’t always the easiest thing to do.

Once again, taking the high road will be a challenge. It will help to think about all that the other person has gone through lately. You’re up to this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As psychic as you are, you find your own future difficult to predict. It’s better that way — you’ll delight in the surprises to come. Here’s a hint, though: Travel is in the works. Are you happy with your luggage set?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Beware of the desire to meddle and fix people.

As pure as your intentions

may be, it’s too easy to act outside of your rights. The best way is to respect the choices of others as long as they are not hurting anyone.

do. And if that one certain person were to give you a nod, it would feel better than the attention of the whole world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may not have the patience to explain yourself, and when you execute your work privately, you won’t have to. This may simply be a matter of taking it home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Over the years, your kindly gestures have paved the way for excellent business rapport, built friendships and bonded loved ones to you. You’ll now be reminded of this with hard evidence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a fickle feeling in you now. Diversity is what you need — in the company you keep and the places you go. If you can’t make it happen today, at least make plans for an adventure in the near future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Much will be accomplished with minimal socializing.

Moving among a stellar mix of people may bring career gains, give you inside information, help your love life or motivate you to higher achievements.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your relationship with yourself may be too overbearing at this point to be considered healthy. As you reduce the amount of chatter in your head, you start to see the way clearly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll work harder on yourself than you will on any project or job. Personal development pays off in unforeseen ways. For starters, you’ll have something to talk about with those on a similar path of selfimprovement.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You don’t want everyone to notice you today, just those who think and feel as you
