Ty Rushing/Daily NewsDuane Rozendaal, chief deputy of the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, examining the department’s new Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle. Rozendaal and Sheriff John Halferty said the vehicle would be used to rescue mission within the county. The county received the vehicle free of charge through 1033 program, which grants law enforcement agencies military surplus.

Sheriff’s office clarifies intent of its new military vehicle

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

Some concerns arose last Tuesday when Jas-per County Sheriff John Halferty announced his office would be ac-quiring a new 25 tons Mine-Resistant Am-bush Protected vehicle from the military.

Halferty said the ve-hicle was “an armored tactical and rescue ve-

hicle” and said it would be a great “tool” if they ever needed it. Howev-er, concerns arose from citizens about the pur-pose of the vehicle and at what times would the sheriff ’s office need to use it.

In an interview Thursday, Halferty’s chief deputy, Duane Rozendaal, clarified what the department will use it for and made

it clear that they were not looking to milita-rize.

“Under no circum-stances are we look-ing at this to militarize our law enforcement in this county,” Rozendaal said. “It is a vehicle that is going to be an emer-gency response vehicle, whatever emergency re-sponse comes up.”

Rogers extradition hearing pushed back to May 23

By Daily News Staff

A 21-year-old Iowa City woman facing first-degree murder charges in Colorado will remain in the Linn County Jail pending the arrival of a governor’s warrant to return her to Colorado.

Bionca Rogers’ scheduled appearance be-fore a Linn County Judge to determine her extradition to Colorado has been delayed because a governor’s warrant has not yet been received from that state. She has been charged in connection with the Feb. 16 stab-bing death of Grant Frazier, 61, of Colorado Springs.

Frazier went missing Feb. 16. His body was found in the trunk of his car Feb. 25 in the parking lot of a Newton apartment com-plex. According to Colorado authorities, he was last seen traveling in his car with Rogers.

After an arrest warrant was issued, Rog-ers turned herself in to Cedar Rapids police, who took her into custody. At an initial hear-ing after her arrest, Rogers refused extradi-tion back to Colorado, prompting a request to Colorado authorities for a governor’s war-rant.

A new hearing date has been set for May 23. However, if the warrant is received prior to that date, she will be transported back to Colorado. Linn County authorities say Rog-ers remains in their custody without bond.

Emerald Ash Borer positively identified in NewtonBy Zach Johnson

Daily News Staff Writer

The Emerald Ash Borer was positively identified in a residen-tial tree in Newton on March 20. The city of Newton has been estab-lishing a plan for EAB since last fall.

“We have identified 300 ash trees on city property,” Newton Parks and Recreation Admin-istrative Superintendent Nathan Unsworth said.

“We don’t have an in-ventory of ash trees on private property, but suspect that hundreds of ash trees are on private property in Newton.”

The city has been re-moving many ash trees, preparing for a positive identification of EAB.

“We will continue to prioritize the removal of all the ash trees across Newton on city prop-erty,” Unsworth said.

Unsworth urges pri-vate property owners to

be aware of the EAB in-festation.

“Private property owners can go to the Iowa State Extension and Iowa Department of Natural Resources web-site for information on how to identify an ash tree and look for signs of EAB in ash trees,” Un-sworth said. “If you find signs of EAB, you can contact me at the Parks Submitted Photo

Local man’s shooting was accidentalBy Daily News Staff

A Jasper County man who came to Skiff Medical Center with a gunshot wound, claiming he had been shot by someone else, made the whole story up.

Sheriff John Halferty issued a press release Friday afternoon to report the man, who is not being identified due to his medical condition and because family have not yet been notified, ac-cidentally shot himself. An investiga-tion into the incident continues, and charges may be pending.

“At approximately 2:12 p.m., Jas-per County Sheriff ’s Office dispatch-ers took a call from [Skiff Medical Center] in Newton of a subject being treated for a gunshot wound to the leg,” he said. “The injury was deter-

mined to be non-life threatening.”Newton Police Department officers

and Jasper County Sheriff deputies responded to investigate the shooting. The man told investigators he had been shot by someone else in rural Jasper County, noting the shooter left the scene, and provided a description of the vehicle, and noted one other person was a passenger.

“Based on this information, the Jas-per County Sheriff ’s Office put out a radio broadcast with a description of the vehicle and suspects,” Halferty said. “Officers from several agencies attempted to locate this vehicle.”

However, upon further investiga-tion, it was determined the man had accidentally shot himself and there were no other suspects.

ObituariesJerry Renaud

March 27, 2014

On Thursday, March 27, 2014, Jerry Renaud of rural Grinnell passed away at Unity Point (formerly Iowa Meth-odist) Medical Center. After a valiant fight throughout the years, he lost a seventeen year battle with lymphoma.

Funeral services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 2, at the Grinnell Christian Church with Pastor An-dre Norman and John Epperson officiating. Burial will be in the Sul-ly Cemetery, Sully, Iowa.

Visitation will be held from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Smith Funeral Home in Grinnell with the family present from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Memorial contribu-tions may be directed KRNF Radio Station, Grinnell Christian Church or American Leukemia/Lymphoma Society.

Jerry Lee Renaud, the fourth child of De-Verne L. and Norma D. (Roorda) Renaud was born on Nov. 3, 1944, at Oskaloosa, Iowa. While growing up, Jerry and his family lived on farms near Lynnville,

later Grinnell, and fi-nally Sully. As a teen-ager, he worked for vari-ous farmers in the area, helping with field work and haymaking besides working at home with his dad on the farm. He attended Lynnville El-ementary School, then later a country school near Grinnell and finally the Sully Independent School which eventu-ally became the Lyn-nville-Sully Community Schools. While in high school, Jerry was an ac-tive FFA member in the L-S chapter and served in every office, ending with being president his senior year. He gradu-ated with the Lynnville-Sully class of 1962.

After graduation, Jer-ry drove a gravel truck for Walt Vander Leest and later worked as a bookkeeper for the Sully Coop Oil Company.

On Dec. 12, 1964, Jerry married Ellene Schnell who had been a classmate of his since 6th grade. They made their home in Grinnell. They became the par-ents of three children, Elston, Jeralene, and Jeffrey.

Jerry tired of the commute to Sully each day and in 1965, he be-gan working for Farm-

ers Exchange Elevator in Grinnell. After the elevator purchased the Standard Oil Tankwag-on Service, he operated that for several years.

Farming was never far from his mind and in 1970; Jerry and El-lene purchased a farm south of Grinnell. For many years he held a full-time job in town and farmed after hours. Upon leaving his job at the elevator, he worked for various companies in Grinnell including Agri-Systems, H & W Gate Co., C & K Trans-fer, and the Donaldson Co. He retired in 2006 after working 18 years at the Donaldson Co., but remained active with his small farming and cattle operation until January of this year when his health became such that he could no longer do it.

While growing up, Jerry and his family faithfully attended the Sully Meeting of the Plymouth Brethren Faith, and he accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age. He was baptized in 1964. Jerry was presently a member of the Grinnell Chris-tian Church.

Jerry served on the Poweshiek County Ex-tension Council, and the Grinnell-Newburg School Citizen’s Advi-sory Board.

Jerry was a proud and loving father. In 1996, he became a first-time grandfather, easily fall-ing into that role. He was very involved in the lives of each of his grandchildren, spending a lot of one-on-one time with them.

Traveling was one of Jerry’s favorite things to do, although farm-ing and working at a day job had its constraints on that. He, along with the family, and later just Ellene, took many mini-vacations throughout the years. He did man-age to have a few enjoy-able extended vacations to various parts of the lower 48, but once he had a taste of Alaska, he was hooked and lost track of the number of

times he had been there. His most recent Alas-kan vacation was in July 2013, when he and El-lene took their two old-est grandchildren with them to witness the beauty and adventure of that state.

Although Jerry never had the opportunity to participate in sports while he was in school, he was a sports fan. He even participated in a few 5K runs until his illness prevented it. Jerry followed closely the Minnesota Twins, Green Bay Packers, and the Iowa Hawkeyes, as well as the Lynnville-Sully Hawks and the Grinnell Tigers. He also became interested in harness horse rac-ing in 1977 after his daughter and son-in-law began participating in the sport. He and El-lene traveled to all parts of the state to watch the races, many times inviting other family members or friends to go along. His great-est pleasure was to play catch or throw a football or baseball, with first his children, and later his grandchildren.

Jerry loved nature, never missing a beauti-ful sunrise or sunset. He always said that farming

was a way to get close to nature and to God. He shared many a walk, and later a ride, with El-lene, his children, and his grandchildren, out through the pasture to enjoy the beauty around him while checking his cows.

Those left to cherish his memory are his lov-ing wife Ellene of Grin-nell; his children, Elston (Heather) Renaud of Lynnville, Jeralene (Dan) Roland of Grin-nell and Jeff ( Jessica) Renaud of Grinnell; his grandchildren, Sara and Allison Renaud, Luke, Kennedy, and Briar Roland, Marissa and Calli Renaud, his siblings, Larry (Mar-cene) Renaud of Ames, Carolyn (Tom) Durr of Colo, Issac Renaud of Show Low, Arizona, Randy ( JoLynn) Re-naud of Altoona, and Marlys (Rick) Hagen of Anchorage, Alaska, a brother-in-law, Arie Vande Voort of Pella, and uncle, several aunts, and many nephews, nieces, cousins, friends, and neighbors. Preced-ing him in death were his parents, his sister, Marilyn Vande Voort, sister-in-law, Patty Ren-aud, two uncles and sev-eral cousins.

Beware Of Belly FatWhere you carry your weight may increase your risk of both cancer and heart disease, ac-cording to a recent study. People with more visceral fat (deep belly fat that surrounds internal organs) had a higher risk than people with the same BMI (body mass index) but whose fat was in other ar-eas such as hips and thighs. Researchers studied about 3,000 people, average age 50. Those with larger belly fat deposits had a 44% in-creased risk of heart disease and a 43% higher risk of can-cer than those who had less belly fat. Brisk walking and cutting back on sugary foods (especially drinks) can help shrink your waist.

Students take advantage of DMACC-to-Grinnell

transfer agreement

Special to the Daily News

A transfer agreement between Io-wa’s largest and most diverse commu-nity college and one of the state’s most elite private colleges is starting to bear fruit for students. The first two Des Moines Area Community College students have successfully transferred to Grinnell College.

Students Jazmine Bjelland of New-ton and Lauren Rousch of Kellogg both graduated with associate’s de-grees in Liberal Arts from DMACC’s Newton Campus. Bjelland is now studying to be an English teacher at Grinnell, while Rousch is an art ma-jor.

Both students said some of the same qualities that drew them to DMACC also made Grinnell and at-tractive choice.

“I really enjoyed DMACC,” said Rousch, who’s considering a career in either fine art teaching or art therapy. “I thought DMACC was a good tran-sition from high school to a four-year college. They were really helpful and it was a small school and I liked that. That was kind of the same feeling I got from Grinnell.”

Bjelland grew up about two blocks from DMACC’s Newton Campus. She was attracted by DMACC’s proximity, small size and affordabil-ity. Bjelland planned to transfer from DMACC to Grinnell even before the formalized transfer agreement was in place. She found Grinnell attractive due to its high academic standards and history of being active in the area of social justice. She believes the DMACC-Grinnell agreement played at least some part in turning her trans-fer plans into a reality.

“Since I was one of the first people to transfer through this program I’m kind of a little bit of a guinea pig when it comes to transferring credit,” said Bjelland. “They (Grinnell staff ) told me if there were any problems, let us know and we’ll work them out with you.”

Rousch came to Grinnell in a bit more of a round-about fashion. Tak-ing advantage of the DMACC New-ton Career Academy classes, Rousch was able to earn Certified Nursing Assistant and Advanced CNA cre-dentials through DMACC while still in high school.

After high school, Rousch’s CNA credentials allowed her to both earn money to finance her DMACC edu-cation and to become familiar with Grinnell.

“I got a job working in the dorm with a girl who attended Grinnell from Georgia,” Rousch said. “I would stay in the room with her and go to classes with her and would support her with doing just daily stuff that she couldn’t do for herself. I just got a good feel for Grinnell from doing that.”

it took to build the arc were falsi-fied, the supernatural characters who aided in the building of the arc were pure fiction, and the plot was twisted and perverted.

What was being spewed upon the big screen was something manmade and directed false teaching that we are warned in the Bible to avert.

The very idea that this film had anything to do with the Sacred Word record event in history that started the world over again, as man is concerned, is pure nonsense.

The plot was concocted by some-one with the intent of extracting

money from the evangelicals who normally do not spent their God given resources feeding their minds on dreamed up garbage.

The use of the name Noah in this film was a ploy to do just that.

I do not recommend the movie “Noah” to anyone. Our time can be used in much more meaningful ways doing other things that can enrich our lives and the lives of oth-ers.

If one wants to attend a movie to be encouraged, I recommend “God’s Not Dead.” Now that film is a life changer.

Letter to the Editor

A fellow from Donnellson called. He was turning 65 and needed insurance. Problem was, he was in Bran-son, Mo., and wouldn’t be back to Iowa before summer.

“No prob-lem,” I told him. “Mary and I have been champ-ing at the bit to go to Bran-son. We’ll meet you there.”

“You will?” he asked, incredu-lously.

“Tell you what,” he continued. “If you can make it here, you can stay at my brother’s house. He’s in Texas.”

Done! A tax-write-off vacation.Branson is completely rebuilt af-

ter the tornado in 2012. The strip has some sights that weren’t there in 2009 — when Mary and I were there last — like a full size sky-scraper with King Kong clinging to it.

I kid you not.And shows galore. Mary and I

selected “The World Famous Plat-ters,” since we’re old fogies, and still drool over music of the ‘50s and ‘60s.

I should have known something was up when the ticket taker “up-graded” our tickets to row two, aisle seats, at no extra charge. Mary fig-ured it out right away, but didn’t say anything. I was more gullible.

When the Platters sang “Twi-light Time,” I nearly lost it.

“Heavenly shades of night are falling, it’s twilight time. Out of the mist your voice is calling, ‘tis twi-light time. When purple colored curtains mark the end of day, I’ll hear you, my dear, at twilight time.”

The Platters invited the audi-

ence to get up and dance. Mary and I did. Oh, prom night all over again! They don’t write lyrics like this anymore.

One member of the Platters’ group is a Native American from Oklahoma. In my opinion, his voice was an outstanding addition to the quartet.

Then the shenanigans began. Be-cause we were seated in the “pick-on” seats, I was invited up on stage to help swoon. Mary elbowed me in the ribs until I consented.

While I was up there making a fool of myself, one of the crooners was putting the moves on Mary. I should have known. The audience loved it. All in fun!

I couldn’t remember why the Platters were called “The Platters.” I think of a platter as something you put a pot roast on (or what I use as a plate). I Googled it. A “platter” is slang for a ‘50s album disk. Ah, ha!

Then there was the helicopter ride, and the Wax Museum, and Ri-pley’s Believe-It-or-Not Museum,

and RFD TV. It wore me out just contemplating all there was to do and see.

Then, of course, there was all the great southern food. Don’t pass up Lambert’s in Ozark City, where they throw rolls (called “throwed rolls”) at you from across the room. At one country diner, we asked for diet pop, and were stared down.

Then it was back home again, jiggity-jog, antiquing along the way. Buddy Boy just about wagged his behind off when we walked in the door (we had a dog sitter).

Branson, the “Nashville of the Midwest,” is alive and well, and just six hours away (if you don’t “an-tique”), and a great break from a hungover winter.

It was inevitable, only a matter of time. I must admit I didn’t expect the insect so soon in Jasper County. And, the odds are that several, if not many, infested trees are present in not only New-ton, but dozens of communities across the state.

Warm weather will allow a more informed citizen-ry to check their ash trees, and it’s fully expected that many new infesta-tions will be found.

I have written columns on EAB since 2008, knowing that Iowa was in the path of yet another insect pest. Any who have read these columns know I am not a fan of chemical treatment for EAB, as this insect does it’s damage under the bark, and thus is extremely difficult to treat with current conven-tional methods and chemicals.

Some arborists swear that inocula-tion of the tree with certain chemi-cals will activate the transfer of these compounds through the xylem and phloem, transfer cells of the cambi-um. Since the larvae of the EAB kills an Ash tree by girdling the cambium, some “success” has been noted with the larvae dying by ingesting the in-oculate.

However, this is a “hit and miss” approach, and requires on-going treatments which will not make the tree immune to the EAB, and only extends its life by a few years.

My recommended approach is to expect the worst, and hope for the best. In so doing, proceed as soon as possible by planting a variety of new trees in your yard. A list for consider-ation, from which you should select a few, include River and White Barked Birch, Hackberry, Yellowwood, Gink-go, Honey Locust (thornless), Ken-tucky Coffeetree, Larch, Sweetgum, Tuliptree, Blackgum, some Oak spe-cies, Linden, Redbud, Dogwoods, White Fir, Norway or Serbian Spruce, White Pine and Eastern Hemlock.

Jasper and Polk counties have am-ple nurseries, and they will gladly rec-ommend tree species that will do well in our climate, and as of now, are not the focus of concern regarding insect pests or pathogens. One would note that I failed to suggest any Maple spe-cies.

That is because the Asian Long-horn Beetle is another devastating in-sect pest that is taking a toll on Iowa’s Maples. Actually, Boxelder is a mem-ber of the Maple family, but sadly, the Longhorn Beetle seems to leave that “weed tree” alone.

Newton appears to have an abun-dance of Maples (65 percent), as tes-tified by a survey of years ago. DNR foresters are working with Newton on conducting a more comprehensive community tree inventory that would allow for a better means of species se-lection.

Since each community is a little different in their established species, a tree inventory is a good investment for each to have.

Should any reader desire addi-tional information or assistance, the state Departments of Agriculture and DNR have specialists in forestry; the Iowa State Extension Service can provide information, and locally, the County Conservation Board or City Parks and Recreation Dept. will pro-vide guidance.

and Recreation office [at (641) 792-1470].”Iowa has been under a statewide quarantine

since Feb. 4, restricting the movement of hard-wood firewood, ash logs, wood chips and ash tree nursery stock out of Iowa into non-quarantined areas of other states.

The citizens outside of the Newton area that suspect an EAB infestation can contact Iowa Department of Agricultural and Landscape (515) 725-1465, Iowa DNR (515) 281 5600, and the Iowa State Extension Office (515) 294-5693.

“We will ask you a series of questions to get a confirmation on if it could be EAB, one of five native Iowa Borers, or damage due to win-ter,” Iowa State Extension Entomologist Mark Shour said. “If we believe it could be EAB or a native Iowa borer, we will come out and take samples sending them to the United States De-partment of Agriculture to get confirmation on the identification.”

State Sen. Dennis Black has been an advocate on the issue of EAB.

“I have been writing columns and talking about EAB for the past five years,” Black said. “I am currently standing against the budget cuts in the Iowa DNR. I will keep the legislation ses-sion going until the Iowa DNR gets what it de-serves. I am wanting to get a $200,000 increase in the forestry department of the Iowa DNR.”

After Black retires from the Iowa Senate fol-lowing the session, he plans to spend his time informing the public about EAB.

“I will be walking around Newton looking at ash trees voluntarily, searching for signs of EAB,” Black said. “I will contact the landowner giving them information on EAB and ways to take care of the situation in the trees.”

Black has confirmed on many occasions that there’s no cure for EAB.

“We still haven’t came up with a way to cure the situation of EAB,” Black said. “The only thing we can do for now is remove the tree stump included and start replanting. I hope that they come up with something to deal with the EAB situation.”

Black has found one simple way to get a posi-tive confirmation of EAB in ash trees.

“The key to finding if you have an EAB in-festation in your ash tree is to look for an upside down “D” in the bark of the tree,” said Black. “I will be leaving informational cards at the news-paper office to help you be able to identify EAB.”

Both Halferty and Rozendaal said the vehicle’s primary usage would be for emergency situa-tions, such as natural disasters or extreme rescue missions. Rozendaal did clarify the vehicle could also be used for tactical op-erations, but only if necessary.

“Will we use it as a tactical type vehicle? Absolutely, but our tactical is only in response in the regards to violations or laws that have been broken into the coun-ty,” Rozendaal said. “Nothing to do with militarizing our sheriff ’s office or any other agency in this county.”

He also gave some specific sit-uations where they could use the vehicle to help.

“I would only imagine us-ing it during disasters such as flood situations and tornados,” Rozendaal said. “It depends on how we advance the vehicle too. We could utilize as a command vehicle, so we can use it in critical situations where we need a (mo-bile) command center.”

Deputy Mike Gunsaulus said the county received the MRAP vehicle from the 1033 Program. The program allows law enforce-

ment agencies to receive military surplus at no charge and on a first come, first served basis, from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Gunsaulus said the county ap-plied for the MRAP in Febru-ary and had its request approved after another agency backed out at the last second. Thursday, it arrived in the sally port of the Jasper County Law Enforcement Center.

The MRAP won’t be used in the field until after personal are trained on how to use it, and Rozendaal estimated training would take between 30 and 60

days and that the office would draft a plan for its use. He also said the vehicle is in top shape and foresees no other expenses other than routine maintenance, such as oil changes.

“Obviously, our goal is to provide a service to the citizens of the county,” Rozendaal said. “This is an opportunity to utilize military vehicles to provide a ser-vice, that’s all there is to it.”

program, a sculpture rental and sale program was also established.

”Sculptures will be sited by their creators this spring and will remain in place until early No-vember,” Terri Ayres, one of the many involved in the project said. “Sculptures will be promoted for sale with a percentage of the sale used for continuance of the pro-gram.”

There were 15 sculptures from

five artists submitted for consid-eration in the project. Six were selected and will be located along First Avenue. They are:

• “Bird Hat” by David Belitz at Community Bank

• “Cyclist” by Gail Chavenelle at Aurora Heights Park

• “Soaring” by James Bearden at Mark Allen’s Edward Jones of-fice

• “Guardian” by Chavenelle at Sersland Park

• “Puppy Love” by Nick Klepinger in the flower bed on northeast corner of First Avenue

and First Street• “Dandelion” by Belitz at the

railroad underpass on First Av-enue West

“Two of the sculptors will be exhibiting in the 12th Annual Iowa Sculpture Festival June 7 and 8 at DMACC in Newton,” Ayres said. “If the program is suc-cessful, additional locations will be considered next year.”

A special event will be held for the siting of each sculpture. Look for information about those events in future issues of the Dai-ly News.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for seven years and have two children. My husband has what I can only de-scribe as an Internet addiction. He’s literally online from the time I go to bed until I wake up to take our kids to school. I checked and discovered many profiles he has made up on dif-ferent dating sites.

When I confronted him, he told me he has no interest in having an af-fair. He said he has been depressed for some time, and it’s his way of escap-ing reality. I recommended he talk to a therapist, but he keeps trying to jus-tify his behavior by telling me I have no reason to feel hurt because it’s all “make-believe.”

Our relationship has taken a seri-ous dive since I found out. I no lon-ger trust him alone on the computer. I am also no longer attracted to him, and I no longer feel attractive. I don’t know what I can do to be a support-ive partner if he won’t admit he has a problem. Please help me. I’m at a total loss. — SECOND TO A SCREEN NAME

DEAR SECOND: May I be frank? First on your agenda should be to take care of yourself and your own emerg-ing depression. If that means talking to a professional, then go for it.

You have every right to be angry about what your husband has been doing. It isn’t harmless, and it isn’t effective therapy for his depression. Much as you might wish to, you can’t fix his problem — which is trying to escape from reality. Only he can do that. Let’s hope he’ll find the courage to face what he’s trying to escape from while your marriage is still salvage-able.

******DEAR ABBY: I am not suicidal,

but I do think about death, in the sense of what happens when one dies. I believe in the heaven-and-hell theo-ry. Although I’m not sure I want to go

to heaven, I AM sure I don’t want to go to hell.

My reason for not wanting to go to heaven is because of the relatives who have gone before me. I come from a very abusive family but, like so many, most of them have been able to do what I call the “last-minute redemp-tion.” With that in mind, I do not want to spend all of eternity with the same people I could not wait to have exit this Earth.

I am also not a big believer in this forgiveness thing — forgiving adults who do these things to children and expect them to forget about it. I sure haven’t, and I never will!

Do you, or the clergy, think it’s possible for God to just let some of us sleep through eternity without meet-ing up with family on “the other side”? — OWENSBORO, KY., READER

DEAR READER: Because I am more involved with what’s going on in this life rather than the next, I took your question to Rev. Canon Mark Stanger of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. He suggests that you stop thinking about heaven as a “place” or that you need a scorecard to get there. He also said: “A merciful God will make heaven what you need — and in your case, heaven may be liberation from these troubled people.”

OPEN event celebrates Ukraine history, cultureBy Kate Malott Daily News Staff

Writer

“Bury me and then through pains,

Get together on my grave,Free yourself and break the

chainsLest no one of you be slave!And in future, that you’ll

gainJust recall me, don’t forget,Mention me in free UkraineWith a quiet, kind word.”— The last verse of “Taras

Shevchenko,” translated by Anna Revchoun

This month marked the bicentennial of Ukrainian author and political figure Taras Shevchenko’s birth, and to honor the important figure, Newton’s Organiza-tion Promotion Everlasting Neighbors hosted a poetry contest and cultural recep-tion.

More than 65 people at-tended the event at DMACC on Sunday. It included Ukrai-nian food, music and poetry readings of both the contest winners and Shevchenko.

OPEN is an organization that started in 1991 and has built relationships in sister-cities Smila, Ukraine and Wu Chi, Taiwan. The group has had 335 guests from 10 countries and 376 host fami-lies since its existence. For-eign relationships promote diplomacy and OPEN’s ef-forts bring that awareness to community.

“The most important thing is bringing people of different cultures, from dif-ferent countries, together and understand each other better and to show the love of each country,” OPEN board member John McNeer said.

“It shows that we stand behind these people and the freedom they have fought so hard to acquire over the years. They have been op-pressed many many times over the hundreds of years.”

The cultural reception was a chance for Ukrainians to teach those interested about the country and to provide a better understanding of Ukraine’s struggle for inde-pendence.

“Events like this are im-portant to us to see other Ukrainians, share the cul-ture and is important, es-pecially for the children, so they know to continue some of the traditions and know about the culture. It’s very nice for us to see Americans that are interested in things outside of Iowa and that peo-

ple who follow politics care,” Ukrainian musical guest Vera Bebich said.

Freedom, democracy, equality and advocacy for people’s voices and rights were the poetry contest themes. 20 poems were en-tered into the contest and three were chosen to best meet those themes. First

place winner was Barry Hur-to; second place, Joelly Scheff and third place, Eden Briefly.

Shevchenko was a hu-manist who gave growth to Ukrainian consciousness and promoted literacy.

“It’s important to have individual governments and that countries have their own identity and language.

(Shevchenko) was a non-vi-olent, caring kind of person and knew the importance of showing allegiance to your country,” OPEN chair Jane Ann Cotton said.

Those interested in read-ing the top three winning poems can obtain a copy at the Newton Daily News of-fice.

The organization hosted a poetry contest during the month of March in honor of the bicenten-nial celebration of the birth of Shevchenko and announced the contest winners at the reception. The event included traditional Ukrainian food such as borsch, cabbage rolls and honey cake, Ukrainian music performances and poetry readings of both Shevchenko and winners. Left: Second place poetry con-test winner Joelly Scheff stands with the three judges, Kay Fisch-er, Joe Fischer and Tory Reyn-olds. The contest asked writers to remember Shevchenko themes of freedom, democracy, equality and advocacy for people’s voices.

Existence of the trans-fer agreement encouraged Rousch to turn that good feeling into an application to Grinnell. Dr. Laura Doug-las, Provost of DMACC’s Des Moines Urban Campus, said the agreement is hav-ing a similar impact on other DMACC students.

“The agreement has put

Grinnell College on students’ radar screens,” said Douglas, who played a major role in working out the agreement. “Until the partnership, many of our students did not see Grinnell as a possibility; they felt it was out of reach both financially and academically. Now, they recognize Grinnell as an institution of higher education that is welcoming and supportive of DMACC graduates. They have also learned that due to a variety

of available financial sup-ports, the cost of studying at Grinnell is more reasonable than what they had originally assumed.”

Douglas said DMACC students who express interest in Grinnell often participate in DMACC-organized trips to Grinnell to learn more about the college, meet key administrators, discuss the transfer process and tour the campus.

“The willingness of the

Grinnell faculty and staff to accept DMACC students and discuss additional oppor-tunities to partner with us has been inspiring,” said Douglas. “Our partnership is just get-ting off the ground and the possibilities are endless. We are the only community in Iowa that has this exclusive agreement with Grinnell.”

This agreement represents the first-ever partnership be-tween Grinnell and any two-year college.

“Grinnell’s mission in-cludes assisting those who may choose a non-tradition-al path toward a four-year degree,” Grinnell Presi-dent Raynard Kington said when the agreement was announced. “We have been looking for ways to encourage more Iowa students to con-sider Grinnell College, and we are particularly pleased to partner with DMACC to provide this opportunity to high-achieving students.”

US stocks rise sharply in early trading

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks were broadly higher in early trading today as the market headed for its fifth straight quarterly gain. Dow member Johnson & Johnson rose on news that it was selling a diagnostics business.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 13 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,871 in the first 45 minutes of trading. The Dow Jones industri-al average rose 121 points, or 0.7 percent, to 16,445. The Nasdaq composite rose 39 points, or 1 percent, to 4,195.

Twenty-nine of the 30 members stocks in the Dow average rose. Microsoft continued to rise after its Office for iPad software was released last week to highly positive reviews. Microsoft rose $1, or 2.5 percent, to $41.28. Walt Disney rose $1.31, or 1.7 percent, to $80.30.

Johnson & Johnson accepted an offer of about $4 billion from the private equity firm Carlyle Group to buy its Ortho-Clinical Di-agnostics business. J&J said the deal for the blood-testing unit should close by mid-year. J&J rose 97 cents, or 1 percent, to $98.43.

Trading is expected to be heavier and more volatile Monday as investors close out their first-quarter positions. At the end of each quarter, fund managers will often sell the worst-performing stocks and buy the best-performing stocks in an effort to make their portfolios look better when their investors get their quarterly statements. The phenomenon has the Wall Street nickname of “window dressing.” If the stock market closes higher Monday, it would be the fifth-straight quar-terly rise for the S&P 500.

Bond prices fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note edged up to 2.75 percent from 2.72 percent late Friday. The price of crude oil slipped 14 cents to $101.52. Gold dropped $5.20 to $1,289.20 an ounce.

Iowa unemployment rate at 4.4 percent

DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally ad-justed unemployment rate increased slightly to 4.4 percent in February from 4.3 percent in January, as the state’s labor force climbed to its highest level in five years. The state-wide jobless rate stood at 4.9 percent one year ago. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate for February ticked up to 6.7 percent from the previous month’s 6.6 percent.

“Iowa experienced an unusually large in-crease in the state’s labor force in February, said Teresa Wahlert, director of Iowa Work-force Development. “This solid rise in the number of job seekers is a sign of growing confidence in the statewide economy.”

The total number of working Iowans advanced to 1,610,100 in February from 1,606,200 in January. Total employment is 23,900 higher than one year ago, and the highest on record since June 2008.

Retail trade added the most jobs this month (+1,800), fueling most of the gains in the trade and transportation super sector.

Nonfarm employment has steadily trended up since 2010, and is currently 20,100 jobs higher than one year ago (1.3 percent). Ed-ucation and health services added the most jobs over the year (+4,900). Within this sec-tor, health care and social assistance alone ac-counted for 3,600 jobs, and education services increased by 1,300 jobs. The only sector shed-ding jobs versus last February is information services (-1,000). This sector has not reflected monthly job gains since March 2012.

The Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Am-bassadors had a chance to sample food from Moo’s BBQ, which is set to open on April 22. Moo’s BBQ owner Jeremy Biondi gave a brief speech on his plans for the restaurant.

“We want to keep things fresh,” Biondi said. “The meat will be cooked everyday to en-sure you’re getting a great meal every time. We will have spe-cials every day, but all of our meat is on a first come, first serve basis because our meats slow cook and takes hours to ensure you’re getting the best meat for your meal.”

Jeremy plans to expand the restaurant over time using the former Bridal Sweet location.

“I am hoping we have a chance to expand the restau-rant, but we’re going to take things slow to see the response before expanding,” Biondi said.

Jeremy has many ideas planned for the future of Moo’s BBQ with regard to expansion and quirky things for the res-taurant. Moo’s will be filled with the sound of blues music and will not serve beer or li-quor.

“We are a Christian family and want to have an environ-ment that people can enjoy,” Biondi said. “I love blues music and plan to bring in blues acts and be a vendor at the South

Skunk Blues Society’s Bowlful of Blues during the summer.”

The restaurant is decorated with all refurbished materials. The right side of the dining room is decorated in tribute to Jeremy’s love for the blues. The left side is decorated with three pictures to best describe where your meat is coming from.

“It ’s always interesting to find out where certain meats are cut from the animals,” Biondi said. “We put a picture of a cow, chicken and a pig with diagrams on the pictures that point out where your meat came from.”

Fearsome Final Foursome headed to North Texas

The road to redemption goes through North Texas for a fearsome Final Four of power programs with something to prove.

Florida, the top overall seed, returns to the Fi-nal Four for the fi rst time since winning consecutive titles in 2006-07, this time without all those fi rst-round NBA picks.

Waiting for the Gators at Jerry Jones’ billion-dol-lar stadium on Saturday will be Connecticut, back near the top of the bracket under Kevin Ollie after being barred a year ago for academic problems.

Wisconsin and coach Bo Ryan will be there, too, fi nally in the Final Four after so many near-misses. Bo knows the Final Four — even if his father won’t be there to join him this time.

Facing the Badgers in the other national semifi -nal will be all those Kentucky kids, once written off as too young and inexperienced to play for a title before they head off to the NBA.

This Final Four contains no upstarts or mid-ma-jor party crashers, just big boys with big chips on their shoulders.

Donovan won a pair of national titles in Gaines-ville with Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer and Al Horford, all top-10 NBA picks in the 2007 NBA draft. After that second title, he accepted the head-coaching job with the NBA’s Orlando Magic, then changed his mind after the introductory news con-

ference.Donovan continued to produce winning teams

at Florida, but the biggest wins eluded the Gators. They lost in the regional fi nal each of the past three seasons.

That changed when the ferocious Gators (36-2) rode their chomping defense through a 30-game winning streak capped by Saturday’s 62-52 win over bracket darling Dayton.

“We didn’t start off the exact way that we should have, but coach Donovan continued to remind us and humble us and help us see that, in order to get where we want to get to, the end goal, we have to continue to chase greatness every single day and stay in the moment,” Florida forward Patric Young said.

To win another title, the Gators will have to go

through the last two teams to beat them this season (UConn and Wisconsin) or their biggest SEC rival (Kentucky).

The Huskies won the 2011 national title with coach Jim Calhoun and one-man show Kemba Walker.

Things went sour in Storrs after that. Calhoun retired in 2012 and UConn was barred from the NCAA tournament last season for failing to meet the NCAA’s academic progress measure.

UConn’s upperclassmen decided to stick it out instead of transferring and put together another magical bracket run behind another do-it-all-player, former Walker understudy Napier. With their 60-54 win over Michigan State on Sunday, the Huskies (30-8) became the fi rst No. 7 seed to reach the Final Four since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

UConn beat Florida 65-64 way back on Dec. 2, the Gators’ last loss this season.

“We play a great Florida team and we’re going to be well prepared, because I know about these guys’ heart, and that’s what got us through,” Ollie said.

Then there’s Bo.Wisconsin’s tell-it-like-it-is coach had been a

regular at the Final Four, taking his father, Butch, to every one since 1976 as a birthday gift.

Ausmus, Tigers host Royals in opener DETROIT (AP) — Brad Ausmus expects to approach

his managerial debut with the same relaxed attitude he showed throughout spring training.

“I’m assuming it will be similar to opening day, the fi rst time I played an opening day,” Ausmus said. “Having been to Detroit, I know there will be a ton of energy in the stadium, having played opening day there before. I’m sure I’ll be excited about it, but you wouldn’t know it if you saw me.”

Ausmus and the Tigers begin their pursuit of a fourth straight AL Central title Monday against the Kansas City Royals. Justin Verlander will make his seventh consecutive opening day start, and Detroit will try to move on from a diffi cult spring training in which three signifi cant players went down with major injuries.

Kansas City will send right-hander James Shields to the mound. The Royals are coming off an 86-win season — the fi rst time they’d fi nished above .500 in a decade. They’ll need to take another step forward to displace De-troit atop the division, but what better way to start than with a three-game series in Motown?

“We like playing the Tigers. Every time they come into town, or we go there, it’s a different energy when we play them, and

it has to be,” Royals fi rst baseman Eric Hosmer said. “They’re the ones we have to set out to get. That’s who we have to go through to win the division. We welcome the challenge.”

Ausmus took over as Detroit’s manager after Jim Leyland stepped down at the end of last season, but the Tigers bring their same trio of stars back for 2014. Ver-

lander, Miguel Cabrera and Max Scherzer have combined to win three MVPs and two Cy Young Awards in the last three seasons. Detroit recently signed Cabrera to a $292 mil-lion, 10-year deal — but that was one of precious few feel-good moments for the team over the last few weeks.

Outfi elder Andy Dirks, shortstop Jose Iglesias and re-liever Bruce Rondon have all gone down with major inju-

ries. Dirks is likely to miss at least the fi rst two months of the season, and Iglesias is expected to be out even longer. Rondon will not return this year.

The Tigers will start Rajai Davis in left fi eld and Alex Gonzalez at shortstop in the opener.

The Hawk track teams open the 2014 season Tuesday. The girls are at Belle Plaine and the boys are at Pella Christian then the boys go to Belle Plaine Thursday.

Lynnville-Sully’s golfers have an-other week of practice before begin-ning their 2014 season At Montezu-ma April 7.

Boys TrackSeniors Meliek Meyer, Bailee Sam-

son, Payton Haack and Darin Hofer all qualifi ed in individual events at state a year ago. They were joined by seniors Brandon Dunsbergen and Caden Doll in relay events. All of the seniors are school record holders in events.

Meyer is the Iowa Class 1A state record holder in the 100-meter dash in 10.70 seconds which he set a year ago. Meyer fi nished second in the 100 at the state meet and third in the 200-meter dash.

Samson placed seventh in the 100-meter dash at state and qualifi ed in the 200 meters. Hofer qualifi ed in the 110-meter high hurdles. Hofer and Doll were members of the shuttle hurdle relay team which placed third at state.

Haack qualifi ed for state in the long jump. Haack combined with Duns-bergen, Samson and Meyer to place third in the 4x200-meter relay team. Haack was a member of the state qualifying 4x400-meter relay team.

The Hawks return three members of the second-place 4x100-meter relay team in Doll, Samson and Doll.

“Our strengths this season are our retuning athletes,” said Mike Parkin-son, Hawk boys’ head track coach. “We have a lot of state experience and look to add to that this season. To complement our returning athletes, we have some strong distance runners and some talented young individuals, who will help us round out our team. We look forward to another season of competitiveness.”

Also on the team are senior Thane

Redding, juniors Kordell Mueller, Jake Brand, Lauri Ryyppo, sophomores Canyon Kuhlmann, Noah Engle, Sage Ehresman, Jordan Redding, Ross Van Wyk and Kyle Van Dyke, and fresh-men Caden Dunsbergen, Colton Ar-ment, Ryan Hofer, and Trevor Squires.

Girls TrackDistance runners lead the Hawk

girls’ track team. Alexa Vander Leest and Tara Vos, two of only three seniors on the squad, return as state qualifi ers in the three long distance races. Vander Leest went to the state meet in the 3,000 meters while Vos qualifi ed in the 1,500 meters and 800 meters.

Vos combined with juniors Cori Rice and Madison Rasmusson and sophomore Kasiah Ehresman on the 4x800-meter relay team for the state meet. Junior Shelby Davis qualifi ed in the high jump, but an ACL injury during volleyball season and surgery had her miss the Hawk basketball season.

“It’s good to have Shelby back, Un-fortunately, she won’t be high jumping this year because of her recovery from the knee injury. She had qualifi ed for state in high jump the past two years,” said Darin Arkema, Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach.

“Last year, we had 13 girls and cur-rently we have 22 out this year. We’re a young team with 10 freshmen, but all of the other girls have a lot of ex-perience.”

Arkema said Vander Leest and Vos have competed at the state track meet three consecutive seasons, plus run-ning at the state cross country meet multiple times. He said coming off a great cross country season — fi nishing fi fth at state — Lynnville-Sully’s dis-tance and mid-distance runners will be tough competitors.

Other members of the Hawk girls’ team are senior Cassie Cullen, ju-niors Line Ascanius, Kaley Exline and Kristy Sevcik; sophomores Shelby Foster, Naomi Shinkle and Marissa Vos; and freshmen Alexis Hard-enbrook, Kristine Jaennette, Haley

James, Brenna Lanser, Jamie Leav-ens, Olivia Ritter, Jelissa Rozendaal, Makenzy Rozendaal, Emma Schnell and Elizabeth Van Manen.

“The past couple of years we’ve had a small team, which meant all of the girls were needed to participate in multiple events each meet. Our re-turners know what it means to work hard in practice and how much that pays off in meets, especially late in the year,” Arkema said.

“Because of the larger numbers, I think depth will certainly be a strength. We can be strong in a number of events and girls may not have to be in as many events. Not having a full load, allows them to concentrate on a few events, and hopefully stay stronger and healthy throughout the season.”

Arkema said not having Davis’ pro-duction in high jump will be missed. He said hurdling and long jump will be areas the team need some girls to step up and try to fi ll some voids. He said the Hawk girls would work on improv-ing from what they did last year and to be better at the end of the season than they were at the beginning.

“We’ll just keep working to fi nd how the pieces of the puzzle best fi t together so that as a team we are suc-cessful,” Arkema said.

GolfMacy Lanser and junior Haley

Hood bring experience to the girls’ golf team. They both qualifi ed for the Class 1 state golf tournament. Hood tied for fi fth at the 1A Regional 2. Freshmen Lindsey Hood and Kaylee Van Maanen join the returners.

“Macy will be looked upon to be a leader for girls and boys on and off the course this season,” Lynnville-Sully golf coach Monica Lanser said. Monica Lanser is in her second year coaching both boys and girls and was the boys’ head coach for three years prior to last year.

“Both Macy, who is a three-year let-terwinner, and Haley are great leaders. We also have three returning juniors on the boys’ team in Connor Fraker,

Baker Zegers and Bayley Morvant. It was fun to see these boys improve last year and get better.”

Macy Lanser earned Iowa Girls’ Athletic Association All-District honors and named to the South Iowa Cedar League fi rst team. Hood also received IGAA All-District honors and named to the SICL second team. As a sophomore Macy Lanser went to state as a member of the Hawk girls’ team.

“Last year was a good year for Macy and we’re looking for her to continue to play well. Haley has worked hard to improve over the summer,” Coach Lanser said. “I’m excited to see what she can do. It’s great to have four girls out this year since you need four to score as a team at meets.”

For the Hawk boys, Fraker, Zegers and Morvant learned what it is going to take to be successful on the golf course. Coach Lanser said Lynnville-Sully play against a lot of tough golf-ers in its conference and other meets.

Sophomore Caleb Jansen is also a returner. He was a fi rst-year golfer a season ago, who “by the end of the season was catching on,” Lanser said. Junior Ben Trettin, who ran track the past two years, comes from a golfi ng family and will help the team.

Cooper Scandridge, a sophomore, and freshmen John Trettin and Luke Jones round out the Hawk boys’ team.

Coach Lanser said all the Lynnville-Sully golfers have room to improve their games. She said the Hawks’ goal is the same as last year — cut down on putts and chips and the scores will go down. Coach Lanser said the girls and boys need to spend a lot of time around the green to improve.

“High school golfers struggle with this a little bit because they want to just go shoot rounds of golf, but you need to work on the short game,” Coach Lanser said. “I am excited for the season to get started. Hopefully, the weather will be better than last year as we didn’t have a lot of nice days to play golf.”

Final Four: No team is safe in 2014 NCAA tournament run

Bo had a hard time getting there with his team, though, winning over 700 games, playing in the NCAA tournament 13 straight years and reaching the Sweet 16 six times — and not one trip to the Final Four.

Bo and Badgers (30-7) get their chance now after pulling out an emotional 64-63 win over top-seeded Arizona in the West Regional fi nal on Saturday, which would have been Butch Ryan’s 90th birthday.

“I can remember some of the great teams that he had of kids and their fi rst championships and how they acted and just the joy,” Ryan said. “These guys have had some others, but that’s all I wanted to see.”

Rounding out this foursome could be the most fearsome bunch of the bracket.

Kentucky won the 2012 na-tional championship behind

coach John Calipari’s get-the-best-players-no-matter-how-long-they-stay philosophy. Cal brought in another heralded group of one-and-doners and they were touted as the team to beat, ranked No. 1 in the pre-season.

After a string of losses, in-cluding three in fi ve games, the kid Cats were out of the polls and supposedly out of conten-tion.

Well, look at them now.Showcasing their talent and

depth, the Wildcats (28-10) are playing with a cohesiveness and confi dence that wasn’t there ear-lier in the season, racing into the Final Four after pulling out a last-second victory over Michi-gan.

“I can’t believe it; we went through so much,” said Ken-tucky’s Aaron Harrison, who hit a 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds left in the 75-72 win over the Wol-verines. “We went through a lot of ups and downs, and we’re

“I think when you look around the locker room, you see the same core group of guys, and you also see some fresh new faces,” center fi elder Austin Jackson said. “The lineup got a little more athletic, we added some speed. Just adding some key parts to the team in general I think gets guys motivated and wanting to get the season started.”

Jackson has been Detroit’s leadoff hit-ter for pretty much his entire four-year career, but he’ll hit fi fth Monday. New second baseman Ian Kinsler — acquired this offseason from Texas in a blockbuster trade for Prince Fielder — will top the batting order.

The improved Royals presented an in-teresting contrast to the powerful Tigers last season. Kansas City’s sharp defense and speed on the bases gave Detroit prob-lems at times, and the Royals went 10-9 against the Tigers.

Kansas City returns most of its key players from 2013. The Royals signed left-hander Jason Vargas to replace their only signifi cant loss, starting pitcher Er-vin Santana.

They also traded for Norichika Aoki to play right fi eld and bat leadoff and signed second baseman Omar Infante away from the Tigers.

The Royals were six games under .500 in late July before going 41-25 down the stretch.

“Being in it in September was a lot of fun, but we have to do that from day one, and not wait until the All-Star break to start playing good baseball,” reliever Aar-on Crow said. “I think the end of the sea-son reaffi rmed everyone’s belief that we’re a good team, and going into this year ev-eryone knows it.”

Frostbusters postponed at Oskaloosa, Marshalltown, Boone, Vinton NEW YORK (AP) — Dustin Hogue had

the kind of game every New York kid dreams of.The only thing missing at Madison

Square Garden was a comeback victory for Iowa State.

The Cyclones, without injured star Georges Niang, lost 81-76 to seventh-seeded UConn in the Sweet Sixteen on Friday. Hogue scored a career-high 34 points, nearly leading third-seeded Iowa State all the way back after they trailed by 16 with less than 7½ minutes left.

The Cyclones (28-8) were playing their second game without Niang, their third-leading scorer, who broke his foot in their tournament opener. There was still plenty to celebrate this season: a Big 12 tournament title, the program’s fi rst Sweet Sixteen berth since 2000.

“That’s who these guys are, they’re fi ghters,” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “Great chemistry all season long, and to lose a guy like Georges Niang and still go out and beat a North Carolina and have an opportunity after being down 17 tells you everything you

need to know about this group of guys.”Big 12 player of the year Melvin Ejim

was 3 of 13 for seven points, more than 11 below his average. Iowa State still managed to rally to within 67-63 with 2½ minutes remaining.

But UConn senior Niels Giffey hit a 3 in the corner for his fi rst points since the game’s opening moments, and when the Huskies (29-8) made their free throws in the fi nal minute, the UConn fans packing Madison Square Garden could celebrate.

Ejim and DeAndre Kane, Iowa State’s top scorers, were a combined 9 of 31. Hogue, from nearby Yonkers, found plenty of space, shooting 15 for 19.

Iowa State shot just 31 percent in the fi rst half, missing some good looks but also standing around too much on offense.

“Unfortunately in the game of basketball you have nights where that basket looks that big,” Hoiberg said, holding his hands far apart, “and sometimes it looks like a lit-tle thimble. And unfortunately a few of our guys had that type of night tonight.”

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 48, 30 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your curiosity about another person becomes more pronounced. You’ll wonder how this person prioritizes and spends the hours and what this per-

son does for pleasure and duty. It will be better not to find out all at once.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Rituals bond us. Con-sider whether a certain relationship that seems to be drifting along and possibly apart could use a ritual as an anchor. The best rituals come organi-cally, but sometimes you have to create them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you may wind up working alone, it will feel as though there is a gentle hand on your back pushing you along, holding you up or patting you with encouragement accordingly.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t want to do what you ought to do. Be-ing bored doesn’t have to do with a lack of creativ-ity. It’s being duty bound to options that leaves you feeling uninspired. At this point, novelty is an actual need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are people who will always be home to you no matter how far away you may be from them. They

are part of the reason why you don’t feel alone even when your mission is solo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Asking yourself, “What do I do if some-thing goes wrong here?” is not pessimistic; it is just another way of taking care of yourself. The fact that you have a Plan B will give you confidence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today’s contest is like an Olympic event in that the margins will be extremely slim between the top winners and, say, seventh place. You can be No. 1 if you want it enough to push yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be shopping for the right teacher to give you the skills you will need in a highly competitive environment. Forgo the flashy one for the practical one with the tried-and-true methods and tangible results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are genu-inely committed to the greater good of the group. If the others are mature

enough to set personal agendas aside, you really will make progress as a collective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s impossible to bring your full attention to what’s unfolding in one relationship when several other people are vying for your attention.It will take some thought and planning to develop a precious tie.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You genuinely care about the success of another, and whether or not you act on or speak of your feelings, he or she will pick up on this. You’re just waiting for the right moment to help, and it will come soon. Be patient.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you have to influence a person who does not seem to want to budge, it’s tempting to see this person as an adver-sary. But if you can see your prospect as a dear loved one instead, you’ll have much better luck.
