Sarmento talks Main Street with county supervisors

Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Dar-rell Sarmento updated the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on New-ton’s progress in garner-ing a Main Street des-ignation and received approval for several re-quests.

Sarmento informed the board that on Nov. 7 at noon and at 5:30 p.m., rallies will be held at the Capitol II Theater to spur interest in the Main Street project. He said each rally would last about 30 minutes and he encouraged the board

and all county employees to attend.

“They are just kind of an upbeat informa-tional meeting related to Newton applying to be a Main Street community,” Sarmento told the board.

Sarmento also spoke on how, if Newton were to get the designation, the courthouse would partner with the city to improve the downtown street scape, benches, lighting and other visual aspects.

“Whatever we need to do to make our down-town a little bit more charming and a nice des-tination,” he said.

Sarmento’s requests for permission to use

the courthouse lawn for several fall events was approved. The ap-proved events, include the Downtown Newton Trick or Treat on Oct. 31, Downtown Newton Christmas Open House on Nov. 9 and 10, and

the Chamber’s Lighted Christmas Parade on Nov. 29.

When speaking about the Christmas Parade, which also includes the courthouse lighting cer-emony, Sarmento said he and Christmas Court-house Lighting Com-mittee member Steve Knight plan on seeking ways to convert to LED lights next year.

“We obviously want to keep the same charm, brightness and magic that it has right now,” he said. “We don’t want to lose anything with the LED lights, but the LED light technology has actually come a long way and it’s very bright

and festive and has the same look.”

Jasper County Hu-man Resources Director Dennis Simon proposed 2014 holiday schedule for county employees was approved. County employees will have 10 days off next year, and Simon said the only dis-cretion was the County Attorney’s office doesn’t get President’s Day off, but instead has Martin Luther King Jr. Day off. The board also granted the Jasper County 4-H programs permission to use the courthouse for “Festival of Trees.” The festival is away for the clubs to raise money for various local charities.

MINE Task Force makes drug arrest in Prairie City

A Prairie City wom-an was arrested and charged with a number of drug infractions fol-lowing the execution of a search warrant Tues-day by the Mid-Iowa Narcotics Task Force.

According to Lt. Brad Shutts, MINE-East Task Force Supervisor, the warrant was ex-ecuted at approximately 8:45 a.m. at 600 E. Fifth St. in Prairie City. In-side, officers discovered Latisha Mayse, 31, as well as illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Mayse was arrested and charged with pos-session of methamphet-amine with intent to

deliver, a Class C felony. If convicted, that charge carries a maximum sen-tence of 10 years in state prison.

She was also charged with possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance without a prescription, a serious misdemeanor, and pos-session of drug para-

phernalia, a simple mis-demeanor. She faces up to one year and 30 days in the county jail, re-spectively, if convicted on those charges.

According to online court records, Mayse was convicted in mid-October of 2012 on a charge of unlawful pos-session of a prescription drug, a serious mis-demeanor, stemming from a July arrest in Polk County. For that offense, she received a deferred judgment and was given one year pro-bation.

Committee sends proposed new

position to council

Newton City Council members serving on the Employee Relations Committee sent a proposal for a new position in the city’s ad-ministration department to the council for discussion.

The proposed posi-tion has an estimated cost of $83,260 based on a midpoint salary. The position would have a wide range of duties one of them serving as direc-tor of the Newton Hous-ing Development Cor-poration. Additionally, the development special-ist would also implement the proposed housing initiative and the imple-mentation of the Buxton report. Newton City Administrator Bob Knabel estimated that thirty hours of the individual’s time would be dedicated to the housing initiative.

“I hope, in fact, we can limit it to that,” Knabel said.

Discussion in the committee centered on the value of spending almost $100,000, in-cluding support costs, on a new position.

“How do we get the most effective use of that money and having that staff member here and be able to respond to our needs…would be an advantage of having that person close by,” Knabel said.

Council Member Noreen Otto expressed reservations about adding another salaried person to the city’s budget.

“I’m always hesitant to add a new salary and benefits to the payroll, so to speak,” Otto said. “So I’m kind of weighing that against the desire to use in house and maximize that position.”

Despite these reservations, Otto believed the hiring of a development specialist had greater benefit than using an outside contrac-tor to perform some of the positions duties. Otto also expressed that having an in-house employee would facilitate communications and that there was an added benefit to having one person work on both retail and housing initiatives.

“This position kind of kills two birds with one stone,” Otto said.

Council member Jeff Price, on the other hand, expressed concerns about having a sin-gle person take on so many duties. Knabel expressed that many current city employees would take supporting roles in helping.

“It really will need to be a team effort for the housing because you’ll have Brian (Fried-man) involved with the oversight, and you’re going to have questions with planning and zoning,” Knabel said. “So there will need to be some coordination at staff level for this.”

Prior to the vote, Mayor Mike Hansen said that he gave significant consideration with how to move forward with the hous-ing initiative. He said there were two options available, the city could contract the work out or hire a team member.

Newton Lions Club gives top award to senior center

By Daily News Staff

The Newton Lions Club recently presented the Jasper County Senior Citizens Center with a Warren Cole-man Honorary Award — the highest honor conferred by the Iowa Lions Foundation.

The award is presented to indi-viduals or organizations that make a substantial financial and service com-mitment to Lions Clubs of Iowa. The senior center was selected to receive

the honor for allowing the New-ton Lions Club to utilize its facility, kitchen, furnishings and equipment for meetings, training sessions, pan-cake breakfasts, soup suppers and many other activities for no charge. This allows the Newton Lions Club to use funds raised to support and as-sist Newton residents in need of the club’s services.

The Lions Club also presented the center with a check to assist in build-ing costs.

Pink Out Game set for Friday in Newton

The Newton Senior High School Pace-setters are sponsoring a Pink Out Game on Friday in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The Pacesetters sold T-shirts with all the proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Iowa Affiliate. The Pacesetters will perform a spe-cial lyrical dance at halftime.

Coach Paige Meredith, a 2005 NHS grad-uate, has been touched twice by breast can-cer. A classmate was diagnosed at the age of 23 with the disease and, most recently, her 53-year-old aunt from Des Moines. Neither had a family history of breast cancer.

One in eight women will be afflicted by breast cancer. Breast cancer symptoms vary widely — from lumps to swelling to skin changes — and many breast cancers have no obvious symptoms at all. Symptoms that are similar to those of breast cancer may be the result of non-cancerous conditions like in-fection or a cyst.

Breast self-exam should be part of your monthly health care routine, and you should visit your doctor if you experience breast changes. If you’re 40 or older or at a high risk for the disease, you should also have an annual mammogram and physical exam by a doctor. The earlier breast cancer is found and diag-nosed, the better your chances of beating it.

Halloween events planned in NewtonBeggar’s Night is set for 6 to 8 p.m. Thurs-

day, Oct. 31, in Newton, with Downtown Trick-or-Treating from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Trick-or-treating also is planned for 5 to 8 p.m. at Skiff Medical Center, 6 to 7 p.m. at Newton Village and 6 to 8 p.m. at Park Centre. There also will be a haunted house open from 6 to 8 p.m. at Newton Health Care Center. Any business or organization that would like to distribute candy down-town should contact the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce by Oct. 25.

Jasper County Kids Against Hunger Nov. 9

On Nov. 9, the Jasper County Kids Against Hunger program again will package food to be sent to feed families in parts of the world where there are people starving.

In the past years, the Jasper County KAH has packaged nearly 250,000 meals. The food has been sent to many countries, such as Nica-ragua, Honduras and Haiti, as well as benefit-ting those in Iowa.

The Lynnville Friends Church will host the Nov. 9 event. Local residents are invited to form teams of 12, collect $360 in donations and then come and help package the food.

The deadline for registering of a team or a single individual willing to work is Nov 1.

Contact Bill Bennett at jasper.co.kah@gmail.com to register or to receive information.

The Newton Daily News recently hit the streets and asked local citizens the following question:

What are your thoughts on the recent U.S. government shutdown?

Taryn Williams

“I think it’s re-ally silly.”

Steve Horstman

“Don’t get me started.”

Cindy Dittmer

“It makes our government seem childish with nobody getting along.”

Rodney Kelso

“It can mess with my veteran benefits, and it’s a mess.”

Talk of the Town

Last week while at the of-fice, I asked Daily News sports writer Dustin Turner a question that made him smirk and shake his head at me. The question at hand was, “ W h a t day were the bowl-ing re-sults pub-lished?”

The reason Dustin reacted the way he did was because I wanted to see my name in the paper under the bowling re-sults, but hey why not? Every Wednesday at Cardinal Lanes, my team, “The Younger Pro-fessionals,” and I bowl as mem-bers of the This Bud’s For You League.

We are probably the worst team in the league, but I guar-antee you no team has as much fun losing as we do. Our sole purpose is to have fun and we only try to win if the team we are playing against happens to be a tab bit arrogant or un-pleasant, but other than that, it’s all about having fun.

I also think we have a nice balance on our roster. We have our captain Nicole “Rojo Grande” Lindstrom, who is such a serious bowler she has her own ball and shoes. It turns out her mom is a huge bowler as well and she is second gen-eration pin maven.

I don’t even own a bowling shirt and I’m about as streaky as they come.

In addition to being captain, Rojo is our best and most con-sistent bowler. She is the heart and soul of the Younger Profes-sionals.

The only person who is about as bad as me consistently is Dustin himself. To give an

example of how unfocused we are as a duo, last week we spent more time focusing on collect-ing MLB-themed ping pong balls than knocking down pins.

No wonder we lost all three games, however, we had a great time and he get a Boston Red Socks ball we’re both convinced will make them win the World Series.

I’m not a Red Sox fan (Go Royals), but I am a fan of sports superstition. Remember, it’s only weird if it doesn’t work.

Next up is another Daily News staff member Dave Hon. Dave actually took a bowling course in college and is without a doubt our next best player.

Unlike my clunky, but awe-some Fred Flinstone-esque delivery, Dave delivers his ball with absolute precision and fo-cus.

He makes it look so effort-less and it’s great to have that kind of consistency on your team.

The final member is my good friend Zach Johnson. Zach is the wild card. One week, Zach could bowl worse than me and the very next this guy can have multiple strikes and spares in a frame. Zach is a very competitive guy and when he gets fired up, victory can all but be assured.

So that in short is a snap-shot of my motley crew whom I spend my Wednesday evenings with. Are we the best team? God, no! However, I doubt no team has as much fun as us.

Also, I’m sure we knock back the most pitchers and we have some pretty good beer pong and quarters players.

Other teams may beat us on the lanes, but I dare the “Pin-heads” or “Team Samurai” to challenge us at anything in-volving beer. I guarantee we will win each and every time and have fun doing it.

It’s no secret – many hardworking Iowa families are struggling. That is why it is so disheartening that Governor Branstad’s administration has responded to Iowans’ calls for change with sleight of hand. Rather than take steps to help Iowa families, the governor and his cronies are playing political games with important employment information.

Since reassuming office, Governor Branstad’s has failed to create better con-ditions or develop better job training and preparation programs for workers. In fact, he has limited access for job assistance services by closing dozens of Workforce Development offices across the state. Rather than taking real steps to create jobs, he and his administration have de-voted their energies to hiding the problem by developing a manipulated statistic that can return inflated employment numbers.

The statistic is called ‘gross over-the-month employment gains.’ In its attempt to view Iowa’s employment problem through rose-colored glasses, the Brans-tad Administration has added this statis-tic to the Iowa Workforce Development’s monthly jobs total reporting.

As the name implies, this new number only counts jobs added. Obviously, this gives a flawed idea of the true jobs situ-ation, as it doesn’t account for jobs lost during the same duration. Think about it: You are hired for a temporary job, and a few weeks later your temporary position is no longer needed and you are let go. Given the nature of temporary work, this could happen three or four times in a year.

Under Governor Branstad’s fuzzy math, you’ve helped to create three or four Iowa jobs over this period. It doesn’t matter that each one of those jobs ended. According to the Branstad administra-tion, four jobs have been created. This

comes despite the fact that, at best, only one of these jobs existed at a time.

It is shameful, and ultimately damag-ing to Iowans, for the Governor to waste taxpayers’ money and state officials’ time on this sort of shenanigans. This isn’t a jobs strategy. It’s a political strategy to defend a Branstad campaign promise.

While running for governor, candidate Branstad pledged to create 200,000 new jobs for the state. So far, he has fallen far short of that promise. According to figures available on the Iowa Workforce Development website, only 7,400 more Iowans had jobs in August 2013 than in January 2011 when Governor Branstad took office. Given that Governor Brans-tad is in the tail end of the third year of his current term, he has very little to show for his efforts.

This summer Governor Branstad gave a speech at an ALEC event where he stated that there are more Iowan’s work-ing then at any time in the state’s history. Yet an Iowa Workforce Development re-port (Iowa’s Workforce and the Econo-my 2013) does not show the Governor’s statement to be true.

Earlier this month, the Iowa Account-ability Project filed an open records re-quest with Iowa Workforce Development, asking that it make public its conversa-tions with the governor and members of his administration about how this dubi-ous number has made its way into official state business.

Iowa families deserve a full accounting of what the “gross over-the-month em-ployment gains” statistic means. But more than that, they deserve real job creating actions and policies out of the governor and his administration. Flawed numbers and rosy looking reports don’t keep a roof over Iowa families’ heads, or put food on their tables. Jobs do that, and it’s time Governor Branstad helps deliver some real ones.

My bowling team not be the greatest, but we do have fun Iowans deserve better

‘Mutt Madness’ breed identificationSpecial to the Daily News

Can you tell a corgi from a lab-mix? How about from a boxer/shepherd mix or even a poodle-mix? Okay, so maybe you’re not a breed identi-fication expert. But, surely people who handle a lot of dogs are better at identifying dogs’ breeds? Well according to many studies the answer would be no.

Many studies have been completed that compare DNA analysis with the best guesses made by experts including veterinarians, trainers, ani-mal control officers and even breeders. The studies found that 75 percent of the time they were wrong when trying to visually ID a dog.

The poster above “Inac-curacy of Breed Labels As-signed to Dogs of Unknown

Origin” has been provided by the National Canine Re-search Council. This study was performed by Victoria Voith, PhD, DVM, DACVB, and colleagues from Western University of Health Sci-ences originally compared the breed identifications assigned by adoption agencies to dogs of unknown parentage with DNA breed analysis of the same dogs. They found low

agreement between the two.Let’s talk about the sci-

ence behind identifying our canine friends. Each and ev-ery dog big or small is made up of approximately 20,000 genes. Less than 1 percent of the 20,000 genes make up the entire physical appear-ance of a dog! Only three of those 20,000 genes make up what the hair coat looks like length, texture and color. It

takes only six of the 20,000 genes to make up what the dog’s face looks like including the shape of the head. None of these genes determine the behavior of any dog.

These lessons sound a lot like what we try to teach our children: judge people as in-dividuals, not by how they look. Hopefully soon we will begin applying this same logic to our canine friends.

Iowa business defends denial of same-sex weddingGRIMES (AP) — The owners of a

private event venue have filed a lawsuit against the Iowa Civil Rights Commis-sion, claiming that any attempt by the commission to force the couple behind the business to host a same-sex wed-ding violates their religious beliefs.

Betty and Richard Odgaard filed the suit Monday in connection with their decision in August to deny a same-sex couple from holding their wedding at the Görtz Haus Gallery in Grimes. The Mennonite owners said the wed-ding violated their religious beliefs, The Des Moines Register reported.

The couple said if they’re forced to host such events, it would be a violation of the Iowa Civil Rights Act.

There is no specific punitive action in the case, said the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is defending the Odgaards. But the suit said the Odgaards “may be exposed to financial

punishment and other forms of official coercion” by the commission.

Lee Stafford and his partner, Jared, filed a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission and claimed the business could not discriminate based on religion because the former church is a public venue. The Görtz Haus serves as a gallery, bistro and private event venue.

Betty Odgaard said her business has suffered from a boycott following the denial, and she and her husband re-ceived threatening email messages, In-ternet postings and phone calls. She said their denial was not discriminatory.

“I have nothing against gays and lesbians. Nothing,” she said. “I just personally believe that a marriage is between one man and one woman. I

don’t condemn or judge anybody else for their beliefs and how they live their life.”

Donne Red Wing, executive di-rector of One Iowa, a gay and lesbian rights group, said an individual should not be prohibited from basic freedoms because of someone else’s religious be-liefs.

“One Iowa absolutely respects the faith traditions and the deeply held convictions of Mr. and Mrs. Odgaard,” she said in a statement. “However, the Gortz Haus is a public accommoda-tion, not a religious institution. Because the Odgaards offer a service to the public-and that service includes the use of their facilities for civil marriages and receptions — they cannot and should not deny this service to someone based solely on sexual orientation or gender identity according to the Iowa Civil Rights Act.”

“I have nothing against gays and lesbians. Nothing. I just personally believe that a mar-riage is between one man and one woman. I don’t condemn or judge anybody else for their beliefs and how they live their life.”

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: My daughter-in-law had an affair with a co-worker and is now pregnant by him. She swears she loves my son and won’t leave him, but insists that her lover be a part of the baby’s life. My son is torn. They have two small children and he doesn’t want to break up the fam-ily. How can he continue to trust her?

My husband refuses to have her in our house. She can be vindictive to those she feels have “wronged” her, and I’m afraid she’ll keep us from the grandchildren. My son used to go to church before she came along, but they no longer go. We sought legal advice for him and he knows the score in that regard. Abby, how can we make him see this woman is no good for him? — HEAVY-HEARTED MOTHER IN GEORGIA

DEAR MOTHER: If I were you, I’d stop trying. Your son has made his choice, which is to keep his family together. If that means accepting that his wife will maintain a relationship with her lover and, in essence, her baby will have “two daddies,” that’s the way it’s going to be. While I understand your husband’s an-ger, as long as your son is willing to tol-erate the situation, there is nothing to be gained by banning your daughter-in-law from the premises.

Because you mentioned church, pray for the strength to support your son through this because he’s going to need it. I’m sure he is fully aware that his wife isn’t “good” for him, but he’s trying to take the high road anyway. So try to be supportive.

DEAR ABBY: I met a woman who seems to be everything I have been look-ing for. We have similar interests and share many of the same goals.

My problem is I’m only 5 foot 9 and she’s 6 feet tall. Am I foolish for feeling like less of a man when in her company? What will people think? — NOT SO TALL IN NEW JERSEY

DEAR NOT SO TALL: If you would allow a 3-inch difference in height to keep you from pursuing a woman who “seems to be everything you’re looking for,” then you ARE foolish.

Being taller than a woman doesn’t make a man more manly. What makes a man

manly is his level of self-confidence, which you appear to lack. Until you understand and accept that what other people think is THEIR problem, I’m not sure you’ll find the happiness you’re looking for.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl who’s involved with social media. My parents have always been protective. A few days ago they asked me for the pass-words to my Twitter, Facebook and email accounts. I understand they’re trying to protect me, but the fact that they don’t trust me by now is upsetting.

I tried telling them this, and they say they DO trust me, but they still want my passwords. Is this a contradiction? I need some independence, and they don’t seem to understand that. — LOSING MY MIND IN TACOMA, WASH.

DEAR LOSING YOUR MIND: It’s not a contradiction if you read some of the news coverage on the Internet about young people who have committed sui-cide because they were hounded by cyber-bullies. It’s not a contradiction if you con-sider that sometimes bad things happen at parties that aren’t properly supervised. If, God forbid, you should “disappear,” your parents — and the police — would want to know who had been communi-cating with you and what was said.

Please do not overreact to their con-cern. While it would have been better if they had given you a reason for their re-quest, I doubt they’ll be reading over your shoulder. Most parents don’t spend a lot of time doing that unless they have some reason to mistrust their teenager.

Least of Saints Ministry leader to speak at St. Luke UMC

Submitted PhotoScott Greene, founder of the Least of Saints Ministry, will share the story of the min-istry’s start Sunday at St. Luke United Methodist Church. Greene felt there was a need for a place for individuals who wouldn’t usually enter a church building. He rented the former Axtell building on First Avenue and began preaching at 6 p.m. every Saturday night. His wife, Linda, helped clean and prepare the place and fully supports his efforts. New people come to the informal ministry every week. St. Luke worship times are 8 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday and the community is invited. The St. Luke praise band will play, and an offering will be received to support the Least of Saints Ministry.

Harkin receives national peace, human rights awardSpecial to the Daily News

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Council for a Livable World, Council for a Livable World’s PeacePAC and the Center for Arms Control and Non-Pro l i f e ra t ion awarded the Father Robert F. Drinan Na-tional Peace and Hu-man Rights Award to Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) and former Con-gressman Bob Edgar (D-PA). Rep. Edgar’s award was given post-humously and received by his wife, Merle Ed-gar.

“It is a pleasure to give this well-deserved award to Senator Harkin for his nearly four decades of work advocating for hu-man rights in the U.S. Congress,” said Terry Lierman, the event chairman and mem-ber of Council for a Livable World and PeacePAC’s Boards of Directors. “Sena-tor Harkin has been a tireless advocate and his retirement next

year will leave a signif-icant void in the halls of the Capitol.”

In selecting Sen. Harkin, the groups cited the Senator’s ef-forts to increase the health and wellness of all Americans, to improve the nation’s education system and tireless advocacy for working families. Moreover, the Senator was active on national security issues even before his first election to Congress.

“Bob Edgar was a triathlon champ,” said David Cohen, former president of Common Cause and senior Con-gressional Fellow at Council for a Livable World. “It is so fitting that Bob receives the Drinan award. Like Father Bob Drinan, Bob passionately con-nected peace, social justice, the social gos-pel and action.”

In selecting Con-gressman Edgar, the groups cited his oppo-sition to the Iraq War, advocacy for nuclear arms control and sup-

port of American vet-erans. They also cited his efforts on environ-mental reform, poverty eradication, reducing wasteful government spending and defense of civil rights. The National Journal once called Rep. Edgar the real-life version of Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith from the iconic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

The Father Robert F. Drinan National Peace and Human Rights Award is given annually to individuals “who exemplify Father Drinan’s commitment to peace and human justice.” It was estab-lished in 2005 in hon-or of Father Drinan, the former chairman of PeacePAC and first Catholic priest elected to Congress. Father Drinan served in Con-gress for 10 years as a Congressman from Massachusetts.

The awards were given in a ceremony at the Frederick Doug-lass Museum in Wash-ington, D.C.

Iowan takes bullying lawsuit to Iowa’s high courtMASON CITY (AP) — A

woman has appealed her bullying lawsuit against the Mason City school district to the Iowa Su-preme Court.

The Mason City Globe Ga-zette reported the lawsuit filed by Heather Conti on behalf of her teenage daughter was dismissed by a Cerro Gordo County Dis-trict Court judge last month. The lawsuit filed in June 2012 says that

during the previous school year, Angelina Conti suffered harass-ment that was “detrimental to her physical and mental health and substantially interfered with her academic performance.”

The lawsuit says that when Heather Conti complained to school officials, they took no ac-tion to protect the teenager.

The girl later open-enrolled in a neighboring district.

“I began to have con-cerns that if we didn’t have a qualified per-son to take the lead in our housing initiative and to work with the NHDC…I saw that arrangement could be problematic,” Hansen said. “So I quickly came to a conclusion that (hiring a development specialist) is the best ap-proach.”

Hansen said he also believes this option would have the least financial impact on the city’s budget with the greatest reward. He said he had reservations about contracting the position to a third party.

“I hope the commu-nity understands this is a venture to improve the community and work on some areas that we

haven’t worked on in the past,” “There’s not guarantees, obviously, but we have to consider the best approach and that’s the best approach is to have someone on the team.”

Knabel said without someone to tackle these duties would result in current city staff being forced to drop other du-ties. In the end, Hansen said the important fac-tor was that the devel-opment specialist act as the sales person for the housing programs, something Knabel echoed.

“That person needs the personality. He needs to be an extrovert, not like myself, the in-trovert,” Knabel said.

Council member Dennis Julius said he has concerns about gen-eral pressures on the current city payroll. Ad-ditionally, he added, he

wanted to ensure that the city will potentially have the funding to sup-port the enforcement of a new animal ordinance.

“I think it would be bad if we didn’t follow through with all the ef-forts and suggestions other people have put up to address that prob-lem, which will make Newton a better com-munity,” Julius said.

Knabel noted that departments across the city have expressed to him the need for more people, but that many directors understand the investment benefit in a position like this.

“Everyone has those kind of needs that they face,” he said. “Those kinds of pressures will always be there.”

Jazz band plays at Bridgehouse Bridghouse was fl owing with

a little more than coffee Tuesday night.

At 7 p.m. Tuesday, homeschool students in a jazz ensemble pre-sented their fi rst concert. The group of seven entertained chil-dren and adults at Bridgehouse with songs like “Linus and Lucy” by Vince Guradi and the classic New Orleans tune “The Saints Go Marching In.”

John Thorpe, a priest at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and a father of children who are homeschooled, led the group.

“My family and I homeschool, and we like it, so we’re a part of the group, and there’s a big home-school group here in Newton,” Thorpe said. “It’s a pretty active group. We like each other, and last spring I put on a presentation with over 32 different musical in-struments for the kids.”

During that presentation, some of the students wanted to learn more about how to play some of the instruments. Thorpe said some of the students were more advanced than others.

“There were over 80 kids in-volved, and some of them had never seen instruments before,” Thorpe said.

Thorpe said a jazz group usu-

ally has four to fi ve people in it, but he said the number of stu-dents interested in joining the group was a little over that. He said they’ve not only learned how to play instruments but studied improvisation and jazz theory too.

Thorpe said he studied mu-sic in college, but his love of jazz started when he was in high school. He said his high school jazz band director was extremely talented.

“With our own kids now, it’s hard to get around and play in a band,” Thorpe said. “So, I thought, I have a desire to play in a band. I’d love to see these kids

learn jazz.” Thorpe said some of them are

interested in studying music in college and should know some basic skills, like improvisation.

“Even if they’re going to play symphonic stuff for the rest of their life, they need to know something about it because it’s just a huge part of music,” Thorpe said.

Brock Patterson, owner of Bridgehouse, said they’ve had other bands come in and play be-fore, like for the 24 hour prayer event.

“They did an awesome job,” Patterson said. “I’m very proud of them.”

St. Stephen’s to raise money for crops

Members of the parish of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church raised money to help com-bat world hunger through the annual CROP Walk, held Sunday afternoon in Newton.

St. Stephen’s was among several denomi-nations throughout Jasper County who par-ticipated.

The walkers from St. Stephen’s included Rochelle Dungan, Jonnelle Farver and Bar-ry Hurto. Together they collected $275 in pledges for the cause.

CROP, which stands for Christian Relief Overseas Project, was started after World War II to help meet hunger needs all over the world. In recent years, it has partnered with Church World Service to continue its mis-sion of helping to alleviate hunger in parts of the globe through education.

Cardinal golfers’ season ends at 4A district tournament

PLEASANT HILL — New-ton’s Cardinals are not going to be at the Iowa Class 4A State Boys’ State Golf Tournament this weekend. Nor is Waukee, which had been the top-ranked team all season.

In Tuesday’s district tournament at Copper Creek Golf Course, the Car-dinals fi nished seventh as a team. The top three teams advance to the state tournament. From this district tourna-ment that would be Des Moines Roos-evelt, 303, Dowling Catholic, 309, and Southeast Polk, 310. Southeast Polk, the host team, edged out Waukee by one stroke. Waukee was fourth at 311.

Newton’s four-man total was 344 for seventh. Norwalk was fi fth at 339 and Indianola placed sixth at 340. Be-hind Newton came Council Bluffs Lewis Central, 364, Des Moines East and Des Moines Hoover tying for ninth at 382, Council Bluffs Abe Lin-

coln at 386, Des Moines Lincoln at 388, Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson at 413 and Des Moines North.

“We did not have our best round today. We felt pressure like all of the other teams and that is something that we will need to get better at to compete at the state level,” said Pat Riley, Newton head golf coach.

Senior Bobby Dowling fi nished his NHS career with an 84 to lead the Cardinals. Devin Shores, a junior, and Austin Reynolds, a freshman, each tallied an 85. Sophomore Derek Damman shot a 90.

Cory Hartgers, a senior, ended his Cardinal run with a fi nal 95. Sopho-more Jordan Henning carded a 109.

“We had growing pains, which will only make us better. We have a strong core of kids coming back so I like how next year is shaping up. We will certainly miss Bobby and Cory as we move forward and we wish them the best of luck in their futures,” Riley said.

Cardinals roll to a conference win at home

NEWTON — “I love playing at home. Our student section was great. They supported us and it was awesome. We draw energy from them,” said Newton senior Kacy Cazett, following Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference win at home for the Cardinal volleyball team.

The Cardinals used the energy from a large NHS student crowd to rally from a fi rst-set loss against the visiting Grinnell Tigers. New-ton defeated Grinnell 22-25, 25-21, 25-18, 25-17 to go 4-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

Grinnell gained the fi rst set with a “short-game” approach.

“Grinnell seems to beat us in the past by doing things out of the or-dinary — things we’re not ready to defend,” said Cardinal head coach Kim Florke. “We made an adjust-ment with our defense after the fi rst set because of the tipping and their two-handed pushes of the ball to the middle of the fl oor.”

The Tigers got the volleyball to hit the fl oor a lot against the Car-dinals by tipping the ball just over

SAYLOR — A week ago, when Prairie City-Mon-roe’s volleyball team fell in straight sets to North Polk at home, the team’s coach Mol-lie Keitges said she thought they came out a little bit too timid. That was not the case on Tuesday against Saydel, when the Mustangs got their most decisive win of the sea-son, taking down the Eagles in straight sets (25-15, 25-15, 25-23).

“They were much more aggressive,” Keitges said. “I loved our defense tonight. They weren’t letting balls drop. The girls were fl ying on the fl oor to pick balls up. So, the defense started it, and our hitters were very smart, knowing when to swing and play small ball.”

Saydel jumped out to an early lead in the fi rst set, go-ing up 7-4, but that faded quickly. A side out gave the ball to PCM, and the Mus-tangs wouldn’t give it back until they had the lead. Se-nior Abbi Gilson served up an ace to pull within one at 7-6. The next point was a kill by Cassidy Van Veen. Lexi Kain spiked one to the fl oor to give PCM its fi rst lead.

Katie Vande Wall blocked one at the net to take an 11-8 advantage. PCM and Saydel would trade points until a serve went into the net for the Eagles. A spike by Gil-son made it 16-12, and an-other kill by Kain made it 18-14. Gilson served up three straight aces, allowing the Mustangs to pull away. Kain spiked another one to make it set point, and the freshman Kayla Jennings ended the set at 25-15.

Both teams traded points to begin the second set, but the Mustangs pulled ahead after an ace by Megan Wine-gar. Emma Williams landed a kill to give PCM a two-point lead. Later on, Gilson would hammer one home to make it

5-3. She went to the service line. Six points and two aces later, the Mustangs were up 11-3 with the Eagles taking a timeout.

PCM increased the lead to 17-7, and with Williams serving, Saydel lost a point on a mishit. Courtney Van Houweling landed a kill, and a shot that landed long gave PCM a 22-8 lead. The Eagles surged late in the set enough to make it close, especially af-ter aces by Kaley Kuehl made it 22-14. PCM got the ball back into Gilson’s hands at the service line, ending the set with an ace.

Kenzie Clarke started the third set with a phenomenal dig that led to a kill by Kain. The following serve was long, tying it up at one. Saydel took a 3-1 lead, but a tip by Van Houweling made it 3-2. Williams landed an ace to tie things up. They traded points until the Eagles pulled ahead with some strong serves, and an ace by Kuhl made it 12-6.

Saydel looked to be in con-trol until momentum switched.

With the score 19-13, Gil-son got a kill to give the ball back to PCM. Winegar served up some strong hits, and the Mustangs pulled within three at 20-17. Van Houweling’s kill kept them in it at 21-18. She then scored an ace for the Mustangs, and Gilson fol-lowed with a kill to pull within one.

Saydel hit one into the net, tying the set at 21. Gilson hit another kill, making it match point at 24-21. Despite get-ting two more points, a Saydel kill attempt landed long, giv-ing the win to PCM.

“That was such a great ef-fort,” Keitges said. “The com-munication was much better. They talked so well on the fl oor, and I was very happy to see that. At the end, they didn’t give up. They talked themselves through it. I loved their focus.”

Gilson put together an ef-fort unequaled by nearly any other high school volleyball player in the state, according to the IGHSAU’s website, serving up nine aces in the

Mustang victory. PCM barely lost a point with her serving in the fi rst two sets.

Van Houweling led the team with eight kills, fol-lowed by Gilson’s seven. Williams’ nine assists led the Mustangs. Van Veen had four assists, and Jayci Vos picked up four set assists. Van Hou-weling also had the team lead in digs with 10. Clarke’s nine digs were second for the Mustangs.

PCM will try to keep the momentum going, but with a match coming up on Thurs-day against Nevada, things will not be getting any easier for the Mustangs.

“Positivity builds positiv-ity,” Keitges said. “We have a big game coming up Thurs-day against Nevada. It’s going to be tough. I think we just build on this. The more con-fi dence they get and the more they play hard and play like that, will help them get bet-ter. We play 13 games in these last two weeks, so they’re ex-cited and focused.”

Aggressive Mustangs sweep Eagles at Saydel

SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks captured a South Iowa Cedar League win at home Monday against Montezuma. The Hawks won 18-25, 25-19, 22-25, 25-23, 15-6.

“We started playing our game close to the end of the fi rst set,” said Heather James, Hawk head coach “We missed more serves than we like to, which would have made a difference in the score. Our girls played very scrappy and with a lot of heart. That makes up for it all.”

Cassie C u l l e n pounded d o w n 23 kills for the m a t c h . Lysandra J a m e s delivered s e v e n kills at the net followed by Taylor Vander Leest with three kills, and Jade Van Rees with two kills. Van Rees had 27 set assists.

Leading the Hawks at the service line, was James with nine ace serves. Kristal Beyer went 11-of-11 serv-ing with three aces. Cullen, Van Reese and Vander Leest each had three ace serves.

Van Rees and Cullen each came up with 11 digs. Vander Leest had eight dig, and James had four digs.

The Lynnville-Sully ju-nior varsity won 22-25, 25-13, 15-11. Brenna Lan-ser had nine kills, two ace serves, and 14 digs. Jelissa Rozendaal put up 14 set assists, served four aces and had 11 digs.

Marissa Vos had three kills, was 7-of-7 serving with one ace, and had four digs. Shelby Foster had two kills, went 6-of-6 serv-ing, and had one dig. Riley Rockwell had four aces, go-ing 15-of-16 at the service line, plus had nine digs.

The freshman-sopho-more match went to the Hawks as well, 21-9, 21-13. Jelissa Rozendaal had three kills, six assists, four ace serves and one dig. Maken-zy Rozendaal was 12-of-13 serving with eight aces, and had one kill. Naomi Shin-kle had two kills, four ace serves and three digs.

NORWALK — Pella Chrisi-tan’s Eagles recorded their 11th win in their last 14 matches on Tuesday. They defeated host Nor-walk 25-19, 25-16, 25-15 in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

The Eagles’ win over the War-riors put them at 2-3 in confer-ence play and 13-13 overall.

Becca Gritters delivered 14 kills and two assisted blocks at the net. She also went 16-of-18 serv-ing with two aces. Hannah Belt-man had six kills, one solo block and two assisted blocks. Christa Veenstra had four kills, two as-sisted blocks and one solo block.

Veenstra was a stalwart at the serving line, 19-of-20, and had one ace serve. Lauren Jungling was 11-of-11 serving with one ace, plus had 18 set assists and 10 digs. Laura Nicholson put up one solo block and fi ve assisted blocks.

Alyssa Starkey came up with 21 digs, and served two aces. Lo-gan De Graaf had 14 digs.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — When the champagne stopped fl owing in the visitor’s clubhouse, the Boston Red Sox took the cel-ebration back out to the stands at Tropicana Field so that family and friends could share some of the fun.

A year after fi nishing in last place, the AL East champion Red Sox won 97 games to match St. Louis for the best record in baseball. Now, they’re moving on to the AL champion-ship series for the fi rst time in fi ve years.

“I think at this point it really doesn’t do any good to kind of look at where we were,” re-liever Craig Breslow said after coming out of the bullpen to give the team a huge boost in a 3-1 victory that ended Tampa Bay’s season.

Shane Victorino’s infi eld single snapped a seventh-inning tie and Dustin Pedroia’s ninth-inning sacrifi ce fl y provided insurance for the Red Sox.

Koji Uehara got the fi nal four outs — one night after giving up a game-winning homer — and Boston rebounded to take the series in four games.

There was a sense of relief in fi nally get-ting past the Rays, who have been a tough matchup for Boston over the past six seasons. Counting three wins in the ALDS, the Red Sox won 15 of 23 meetings between the teams this season.

“I’m assuming that the next opponent we have is going to be as tall a challenge as Tampa is,” manager John Farrell said.

Both managers mixed and matched all night in a tense game that felt more like a chess match. Desperately trying to force a fi fth game, Rays skipper Joe Maddon used nine pitchers — a postseason record for a nine-inning game — and had ace David Price warming up for a potential 10th inning.

“The way it was working at the begin-ning there, I could see it was just not going to work and we had to do something differently,” Maddon said. “We became a little bit more extemporaneous at that point.”

Making their fourth playoff appearance in six years despite having one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, the budget-minded Rays have not advanced past the division series since reaching the 2008 World Series.

Xander Bogaerts scored the tying run on Joel Peralta’s wild pitch in the seventh and Victorino followed with an RBI infi eld single. Pedroia drove in Bogaerts with a sacrifi ce fl y in the ninth to make it 3-1, and Uehara struck out Evan Longoria to end it.

The Rays retreated to a solemn club-house.

“Obviously, everybody is disappointed right now. Joe (Maddon) came in here and said to not hang our heads and remember that we had our backs against the wall sev-eral times and played really well to get to this point,” second baseman Ben Zobrist said. “It was a good year overall, but it’s tough to take the loss.”

Dustin Turner/Daily NewsPCM senior Abbi Gilson (17) celebrates with teammates Katie Vande Wall (11) and Jayci Vos (12) following one of her seven kills against Saydel. Gilson was second on the team in kills and had a season-high nine aces.

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander is again standing be-tween the Oakland Athletics and the AL championship series.

But only after Max Scher-zer — the man who supplanted Verlander as Detroit’s top starter this year — kept the Tigers’ sea-son alive with a relief outing to remember.

Scherzer escaped a major jam one inning after two fans reached out to try to reel in Vic-tor Martinez’s disputed home run, and the Tigers rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 Tues-day to force a decisive fi fth game in their AL division series.

Verlander will start at Oak-land on Thursday night, almost a year to the day after he shut out the A’s at the Coliseum in Game 5 of the division series last season. Scherzer was in line to start Game 5, but the 21-game winner came on Tuesday instead for his fi rst relief appearance since the 2011 postseason. He wriggled out of a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the eighth in-ning and got the win.

Playing catch-up most of the way in Game 4, the Tigers tied it fi rst with Jhonny Peralta’s three-run homer in the fi fth and then on Martinez’s solo shot in

the seventh. A couple of fans attempted to catch Martinez’s drive, and at least one of them bobbled the ball while reaching for it over the railing above the wall.

That prevented right fi elder Josh Reddick from having any chance at a leaping grab. Red-dick and center fi elder Coco Crisp immediately protested, pointing up at the stands in the hope of a fan-interference call. But umpires upheld the home run after a replay review.

“I have no doubt I was go-ing to catch that ball. When I looked at the replay, that’s what

I thought,” Reddick said. “It’s totally frustrating that a fan can infl uence the game.”

Scherzer came out of the bullpen in the seventh and gave up a run, then ran into trouble again in the eighth. With the Tigers ahead 5-4, he allowed a walk and a double to start the inning. An intentional walk to load the bases followed, and Le-yland opted to leave his ace on the mound.

Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run single in the ninth, bringing the potential tying run to the plate, but Joaquin Benoit struck out Seth Smith to end it.

the net. Also they benefi ted from several “tape-run-ners,” when the volleyball caught the top of the net and ran down the tape, dropping on the Newton side.

Florke said the Cardinals brought everybody into the net and said “beat us long.” She said her team stopped the volleyball from dropping as much, which allowed the Cardinals to attack.

Using the conference-leading hitter Michaela Bleeker early in the second set, the Cardinals got out to a 6-2 lead. They stayed in front for the 25-21 win, which came on a Bailey Beaderstadt kill.

Bleeker delivered a team-high 26 kills in the match. And two of those came back-to-back with Amber Karsten on the service line in the third set, Karsten served up her only ace of the night to put the Cardinals up 4-1.

Karsten, who went 22-of-23 at the service line with 14 points and four aces overall, had a fi ve-point run serving to restore the Cardinal lead after the Tigers gained a 12-13 advantage. Beaderstadt served up three points to push Newton’s lead up a little more, 21-15. The Cardinals won 25-18.

“Our team just came together. we always have our heads up and get back at it out there,” Cazett said. “After we noticed they were tipping a lot, I moved forward at middle back and set up closer to the 10-foot line. I was able to pick up more tips.”

Cazett plays libero — a back-row defensive spe-cialist — for the Cardinals. She had 13 digs in the match. Bleeker also picked up 13 digs and Holly Vander Pol had 12 digs.

Newton established a 2-1 lead in the best-of-fi ve match. Grinnell wasn’t folding. The Tigers got a 7-6 lead on three straight service points. Newton set to their go-to hitter, Bleeker, who downed a kill to make it 7-7.

Bleeker was serving so Megan Pressgrove set up Jennifer Ventling, not just once but twice, for kills. The Cardinals never trailed after that but did have to fend off the Tigers a couple of times.

Bleeker, who served for nine points as she went 16-of-16 at the service line with two aces on the night, had a four-point stint serving to get a 22-15 lead. Vander Pol had a kill and a tip in that run for Newton. Ventling, who had fi ve service points on the night used an ace to get the fi nal point, 25-17.

“We played more consistently in the fi nal three sets tonight. Our freshman setter is making some mistakes but that’s going to happen. Megan is im-

proving all the time for us,” Florke said. “What I re-ally liked about tonight’s match was all seven hitters really peppered the ball. We were really swinging at it really well.”

Pressgrove had a triple-double for the Cardinals. She was credited with 41 set assists plus she had 10 kills and 10 digs. Pressgrove served four points and had one ace serve. Karsten had four set assists.

Beaderstadt served 12 points and had one ace serve, and Vander Pol had three service points. At the net, Karsten put down nine kills, followed by six from Ventling and fi ve from Vander Pol.

Bleeker made two solo blocks, and Beaderstadt had one solo block. Ventling had a block assist. Karsten had six digs and Ventling had three digs.

The Cardinals improved to 20-9 overall — four away from the team-record 24 match wins. Newton has two more conference matches to play.

They are a win out of fi rst place in the Little Hawkeye Conference. Pella beat Knoxville 25-20,

25-18, 25-17 Tuesday to go 5-0 in conference play. Oskaloosa upended Dallas Center-Grimes 25-20, 21-25, 25-23, 25-22 and Pella Christian beat Nor-walk 25-19, 25-16, 25-15. Dallas Center-Grimes and Knoxville are 3-1, while Grinnell and Pella Christian are 2-3 in LHC action. Oskaloosa is 1-4 and Norwalk dropped to 0-4.

Newton travels to Oskaloosa next Tuesday.Newton’s junior varsity volleyball team dropped a

25-14, 25-17 decision to Grinnell. The Cardinal freshman team claimed a 24-26,

of-14 at the service line with six ace serves plus had fi ve kills at the net. Elizabeth Coyle was 14-of-15 serving with four aces and had four set assists.

Morgan Allen delivered 10 kills for the freshmen, and was 7-for-7 in serve receive. Courtney Jacobsen had two service aces. Taylor Shipley was credited with 18 set assists, and Bailey Davis had three kills.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsMichaela Bleeker passes the volleyball from the back row for Newton in Tuesday’s home match against Grinnell. Bleeker not only leads the team in kills at the net, the senior also is one of the top passes on the Cardinal team. New-ton defeated Grinnell in Little Hawkeye Conference play, 3-1.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — As the celebration raged around them, Sandy Koufax sought out Clayton Kershaw in the hazy mist of the clubhouse for a hug.

Koufax, whose blazing fastball dominated baseball in the mid-1960s, removed the protective goggles from his eyes and rested his arms on Ker-shaw’s broad shoulders.

From the franchise’s old left-hand-ed ace to its current young southpaw, a smiling Koufax looked Kershaw in the eyes and bestowed his congratula-tions. The Dodgers had advanced to their 10th National League champi-onship series with a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.

“To get a hug and get a ‘good job’ from a guy like that, from a guy that’s been there, from a guy that’s done this before and was the best at it for a long time is pretty special,” Kershaw said. “He genuinely cares about not only this team but kind of our well-being. He cares about us. That’s awesome.”

The NL West champions open the next round Friday against St. Louis or Pittsburgh. The Cardinals host the wild-card Pirates in a winner-take-all Game 5 on Wednesday.

“We’ve moved one step closer,” said Don Mattingly, managing in the play-offs for the fi rst time.

Juan Uribe hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning after Kershaw started on short rest for the Dodgers, who reached the NLCS for the fi rst time since 2009.

“It was a special night to get to do it here in L.A.,” said Kershaw, his hair slick from the spray of beer and cham-pagne. “We haven’t won anything yet, but it defi nitely feels good to get to celebrate. You never want to pass those moments up.”

Carl Crawford homered his fi rst two times up and the Dodgers won the best-of-fi ve playoff 3-1.

“This does not get old. I love the champagne. I love the burning sensa-tion in my eyes,” center fi elder Skip

Schumaker said. “A lot of these guys have never experienced the moving on to the next round and I’m happy for them.”

Yasiel Puig doubled down the right-fi eld line leading off the eighth against losing pitcher David Carpenter. The rookie charged into second base and pumped his right fi st in the air.

Fans were on their feet chant-ing “Let’s go Dodgers!” when Uribe fouled off two bunt attempts. Then he sent a hanging 2-2 breaking ball into the Dodgers’ bullpen in left fi eld to put them in front for the second time.

Uribe knew it was gone as soon as he connected. He dropped his bat and threw both arms in the air at home plate.

“This moment today I’ll never for-get,” he said. “I think a lot of people feel like that.”

Meanwhile, it was the latest Octo-ber fl op for Atlanta, which hasn’t won a postseason series since 2001. Dur-ing that stretch, the Braves have lost

seven straight playoff series and the 2012 NL wild-card game.

“To end the way it did tonight, it’s going to hurt. It’s going to be a long way back,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “But tip your hat to the Dodgers and congratulate Donnie and his staff. The sad thing is there are no more games, you know?”

Brian Wilson pitched a scoreless eighth to get the victory. Kenley Jan-sen struck out all three batters in the ninth for a save, fanning Justin Upton to end it.

That set off a raucous celebration on the fi eld by the Dodgers, who rushed toward the mound in a mob. They tore jerseys off each other in un-bridled excitement and doused Uribe with a bright-colored sports drink.

“This team has a lot of fun. We don’t think about being the team to beat and all that stuff. We just go out there and play and try to have fun,” Crawford said.

Astrograph

Just because Neptune is considered the higher oc-tave of Venus doesn’t mean the two planets always get along. When they form a stressful angle, as they do today, people have a ten-dency to choose inconve-nient and impractical ro-mantic partners. This can be good for fantasy life, but bad for reality. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 10). You’ll switch in-structors or schools and join a new school of thought. Projects and assignments pour in, and you’ll turn it into cash in December. February shows you add-ing to your family and changing your schedule to accommodate the new ad-dition. January features a commitment, contract or lasting bond. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 3, 33, 21 and 18. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Surprise, surprise! You are once again caught between two options and trying to make a decision. You of all people make this look

graceful. Your light heart refuses to be weighed down by indecision. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Social skills are im-portant, but they are not the only important skills. Qui-etly tuning in to your own private muse is also a skill. You’re not being antisocial; you’re being pro-you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be entering into new relationships. This is the time to be mindful of pacing. It’s also the mo-ment to really make sure another person has interests that complement your own. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you initiate a new deal now, you’ll likely be held up while too many people deliberate on the terms. Consider going pa-perless for a while. A lot can be said for an old-fashioned handshake arrangement. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s as though you dive into a pool of intense, fo-cused energy and go for a nice long swim. When you

emerge, instead of being exhausted from the exer-cise, you’ll feel cleansed. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The machinery of your life is humming along un-impeded. This is a fine op-portunity to stockpile the product of your efforts. Save something for a rainy day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Vague hopes without a step-by-step plan will stress you out instead of motivat-ing you. Get specific. Your optimism will return when you make a few small, achievable and measurable goals. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The best talkers don’t always have the best ideas. That’s why you can’t al-ways trust the most charis-matic person in the room, even though everyone else is listening to him or her. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel that you have to prove yourself in a crowd of strangers. But the key to winning them over is

in dropping that feeling to join your own side. What’s in it for you? CANCER (June 22-July 22). The others are not trying to get in the way of your work, and yet their very presence may be keep-ing you from concentrat-ing. Make a getaway for an hour, and you’ll accomplish what you couldn’t in three. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like to try things before you make a judgment about them. This can be costly, but not today. Someone will foot the bill for you so you don’t have to assume the risk. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Which achievements give you the most pleasure: the tangible ones that come with certificates, money and material evidence, or the intangible ones that happen in a person’s heart? You’ll enjoy a taste of both today. COPYRIGHT 2013CREATORS.COM
