Russian women learn about leadership, business

By Kate Malott Daily News Staff Writer

Throughout the last week, a group of women from Russia have been in New-ton for a program to promote mutual understanding between women entre-preneurs and their Iowa counterparts.

The group includes Yevgenia Goloshchanova, a proprietor at a gour-met Italian deli; Yelena Lyakh, the dep-uty executive director at Tolyatti City Economic Development Agency; Taty-ana Shikanova, CEO of a laundry and domestic services agency; and Lyubov Zarubitskaya, proprietor of an account-ing agency along with facilitator Olga Tikhonova.

Hosted by Organization Promot-ing Everlasting Neighbors, the group’s intent is to explore public and private partnerships that support entrepreneurs and encourage regional economic de-velopment.

“Our primary goal is sharing our ex-periences, to find something from our American counterparts, new ideas for our business development, creating per-

sonal contacts, getting to know people and keep in touch with people,” Yevge-nia said.

The delegates have had a productive time here, learning about roles of wom-en in business, leadership and commu-nity partnerships.

After arriving on Wednesday, they spoke with Frank Liebl and Kim Didier at the Newton Development Corpo-ration followed by a welcome potluck with OPEN friends.

Thursday, the women learned about state government and female entrepre-neurship in Des Moines, visiting the State Capital, Iowa Economic Devel-opment Authority and with female business owners in the East Village.

“Spending time with the Russian del-egation reminds me that when people from rival countries come together in a spirit of mutual understanding, political tensions often give way to friendship,” OPEN board member Tom Hoover, who was the guide on Thursday, said.

New company to oversee operations

of NewCareSpecial to the Daily News

Effective today, Jasper County Health Ventures will assume opera-tions of NewCare Health Services, a medical clinic located at 315 W. Third St. N. in Newton.

A new limited-liability company, JCHV is a joint venture between Skiff Medical Center and Newton Clinic. Although Newton Clinic will over-see the day-to-day management of the business, NewCare will continue to operate as NewCare Health Ser-vices and those staff members who are retained will be employees of JCHV rather than Newton Clinic or Skiff.

This change is necessary to ensure that NewCare, which was established in 2012 by Red Rock Health Ven-tures, can continue serving a growing number of patients and benefit from improved management.

“The costs of starting a new busi-ness were substantially higher than the original owners anticipated,” Skiff CEO Steve Long said. “Therefore, even though they had strong volume growth, it was not quick enough to offset the initial start-up costs. Given this, they were approaching a decision point which would have led to the clo-sure of the clinic.”

Mark Thayer, administrator of Newton Clinic, stressed that the clinic being on the verge of shutting down was in no way a reflection of its em-ployees.

“That clinic is staffed by dedicated, compassionate medical providers,” he said.

Rather than allowing the commu-nity to lose NewCare and its provid-ers, Long said that Skiff welcomed the partnership with Newton Clinic to re-tain this asset.

“This decision was explicitly made to stabilize the local medical commu-nity,” Thayer said. “Several clinics in Newton have closed in the past few years due to retirements, legal issues and, in the recent case of Kid Care M.D., the tragic loss of Dr. Ruth Spierenburg. This emphasized to us the potential negative consequences of losing additional providers.”

One of the main goals of JCHV will be to establish within NewCare the same consistent procedures that benefit patients at Newton Clinic, in-cluding Saturday hours, vaccination schedules, appointment slots, employ-ee scheduling and more.

“Mark is a phenomenal clinic administrator backed by excellent physicians and staff,” Long said. “Meanwhile, NewCare is a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility with its own set of skilled providers. This asso-ciation means that community mem-bers will continue to have a choice in health care, without having to travel elsewhere.”

“While assuming management of NewCare, we will continue to provide

Red Pride Community Service Day ready for launch Wednesday

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

In Newton, having “Red Pride” is about more than supporting athletics. It also involves giving back to and being proud of your commu-nity.

On Wednesday, start-ing at 11:30 a.m., stu-dents from Newton Se-nior High School will be placed in various parts of

town, performing vol-unteer work as a part of “Red Pride Community Service Day.” RPCSD is an annual event done in conjunction with NHS and local businesses and organizations to use the students as a work force for the greater good of improving Newton.

This year will be the sixth year RPCSD has been held and there is a list of nearly 40 ser-

vice projects that will be performed. Some of the listed projects include clean-ups around New-ton, painting a “Wel-come to Newton” mural on a barn east of Iowa Speedway Drive, plant-ing flowers downtown and collecting plastic bags at Newton Sanitary Landfill.

Council passes new housing incentivesBy Zach Johnson

Daily News Staff Writer

The Newton City Council has passed a reso-lution that will offer new incentives on new houses built in Newton for both the buyer and the builder.

During the previous council meeting, on April 21, Newton Director of Finance and Development Bryan Friedman discussed a new housing initiative incentive for 2014. The incentives have been final-ized and approved by the council with a unanimous vote.

The incentives will go to the first 40 single-family homes constructed in Newton this year, not including properties in

Fountain Hills Estates, First Addition. A $10,000 incentive will be provided to the buyer of the home, subject to the following rules:

• the incentive is provid-ed at the time and place of closing on the permanent financing of the home;

• the improvements (exclusive of land value) must be valued at least at $160,000, as evidenced by an appraisal or assessment;

• the construction of the home must be fully com-plete, as evidenced by the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the City of Newton.

The builders will receive the following incentives: waiving of building permit fees for constructing the

home; agreement for the City of Newton to cover the utility and interest costs of the improvements for up to a 12-month pe-riod beginning 12 months after the completion of the home and the commence-ment of marketing efforts, as evidenced by the issu-ance of a Certificate of Occupancy and the pres-ence of a ‘for sale’ sign on the property.

The cost coverage pe-riod would end upon the sale of the property, the occupancy of the prop-erty for a rental, or after 12 months, whichever is soonest. In order to access the builder incentives, the

On Friday, the women were introduced to Newton entrepreneurship and toured Mojo Cy-cling, the Capitol II Theatre, Mattingly’s, Silvera-do and Bridal Sweet.

After lunch, they continued touring down-town Newton and met at Uncle Nancy’s for a discussion panel with entrepreneurs Gina Adams from Uncle Nancy’s and Bonnie Terpstra from the Farmer’s Wife.

The delegates inquired about balancing family and work, how the women started their business, their businesses’ appeal, taxes, accounting, inspec-tions, audits and their struggle in leadership roles.

The delegation pointed out three topics they would like take with them and implement in each of their communities in Russia. Those three top-ics are social work, recognizable national pride and transparency of authority.

“We see that in America there are a lot of vol-unteers, and unfortunately we don’t have so many volunteers in Russia, so we are promoting it now. Here it is so noticeable how many people do so-cial work. I think it was the first thing I was taught here and I’m sure that knowing this model of life so I can copy and paste it to Russia,” Yelena said.

The delegates also noticed and appreciated that in America, authorities are very open to citi-zens. They spent time in the State Capital and in the Chamber of Commerce and found that elect-ed officials were accessible and interested.

“I think it is very good for political authorities that they are open. When citizens can come to the mayor’s office or city council meetings, and ordinary people can seek and ask questions,” Olga said.

Delegates went to Des Moines on Saturday, and experienced the Farmers’ Market, Just For Her exposition at the Iowa Events Center and Jordan Creek Town Center. On Sunday, the women prepared food for their host families and spent the day in their company.

Carol and Fritz Kramer hosted Tatyana and Yevgeniya, Warren and Linda Erickson hosted Lyubov, JoAnn Tyler hosted Yelena and Jane Ann Cotton was home to Olga.

While here, the delegates are learning about women in business and leadership and finding many similarities.

“We, females, are all facing the same con-straints and the same problems. How we can balance work and business - raising kids and running businesses is a common problem,” Olga said.

“American women are quite active and the same with Russian women. That’s a similarity that we share, involvement,” Yelena said.

On Monday, the delegates learned more about the role of advertising and publishing in entrepreneurship with a tour and discussion time at the Newton Daily News, The Vernon Com-pany, La Cabaña, Maxim Advertising, Hanson Directory and KCOB.

Today, the women will spend their last full day in Newton meeting with Brian Friedman at the City of Newton, lunch with the Young Pro-fessionals of Jasper County and visiting other small businesses in town and a farewell dinner sponsored by OPEN. The delegates head back to Russia Wednesday.

“After living together, learning together, and laughing together, strangers of a week ago have become friends,” Hoover said.

builders must be in compliance: be fully registered and/or licensed with the State of Iowa, per re-quirements of the state; provide evidence of bonding and insur-ance; build in radon abatement infrastructure into the new home, per the standards in the most cur-rent edition of the International Residential Code; and comply with all inspection and building code requirements.

In other business during the meeting:

• Mayor Michael Hansen makes proclamations for EMS Week, Public Works Week, National Historic Preserva-tion Month and Building Safety Month.

• The Newton City Coun-cil approved the consent agenda unanimously.

• Three public hearings on

taking additional action on three bonds were approved.

• The third consideration on two traffic safety ordinances to install stops signs at various inter-sections with collector and arte-rial roads was passed. The council could amend the ordinance with a unanimous vote.

• The first consideration of an ordinance to add the collection fee from Municipal Collections of America to the delinquent am-bulance service fees passed.

• Council approved a resolu-tion awarding a contract to Baker Electric of Des Moines to repair the stop lights at the intersection of First Avenue East and East Eighth Street.

• Council approved a resolution awarding a contract for the 2014 citywide sidewalk ADA ramp and sidewalk connection improve-ments to TK Concrete of Pella.

• A resolution was approved for the adjustment of rates charged for ambulance service.

• Council approved the service agreements with Newton Daily News, Des Moines Register Me-dia, ClearChannel Media and Energy 106.7 for “Get To Know Newton” advertising.

• Council awarded a contract for the 2014 citywide way finding signage project to Sign Pro. The council changed the company se-lection with wanting to support local businesses with local proj-ects. The council approved the change unanimously.

• Council approved the direct-ing the advertisement for sale of $4,360,000 general obligation bonds, taxable series 2014a and $2,545,000 general obligation bonds, series 2014b, approving electronic bidding procedures and authorizing distribution of a pre-liminary official statement by a unanimous vote.

“It’s just business as usual, which is really nice. It’s not, ‘Ugh, we have to do it.’ It’s more of, ‘Where am I going? What am I doing this year?’” NHS teacher Alison Grier said on the stu-dents reception of RPCSD at NHS.“The ethic of giving to the community is definitely there, and it’s an expected thing and a part of the yearly routine of the high school.”

RPCSD was started by Grier along with Liz Dodd and Bruce Showalter, who, in addition to being members of the local busi-ness community, are heavily in-volved in volunteering efforts in Newton. Although the trio came up with the concept, each year the event has grown its volunteer base and sponsorships. In 2013, a record 50 service projects were completed.

“We don’t feel like we need to

match last year in terms of num-bers (of projects),” Grier said. “We feel like we want to make an impact on the community like we did last year. I think because we have different types of proj-ects this year — fewer residences, more parks and community areas and lots of elementary schools... We’ve got bigger groups going to fewer places.”

Every year volunteers for RPCSD wear donated T-shirts listing the sponsors and this year, there will be a new twist. NHS has teamed up with the City of Newton for this year’s shirts, which will be orange, similar to the University of Tennessee’s colorway, and feature the slogan “Proud to Know Newton.”

The Proud to Know Newton T-shirts will be on sale for $10 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the square near the Capitol II Theatre.

One popular returning feature of RPCSD is the ability to recy-cle electronics for free or a rea-

sonable cost. Midwest Recovery will be recycling electronics rang-ing from cell phones to rooftop AC units free of charge.

Another company will be ac-cepting old computers and acces-sories and older tube televisions. Prices vary, depending on the size of the television or the amount of accessories with the computer, but do not exceed $30. RPCSD will receive $5 for every transac-tion.

Items may be dropped off at NHS, or Grier can arrange for pick-up any of those items. Con-tact her at (641) 792-5797.

Grier expects all of the proj-ects to be completed around 1:30 p.m. and for students to be back on the NHS campus around 1:45 p.m. for lunch and to celebrate completing another successful RPCSD.

NDN begins search for new editor

The Newton Daily News is seeking a new editor after parting ways with Bob Eschliman, its for-mer editor.

Eschliman’s departure was an-nounced Monday, nearly a week after he received statewide media attention for his personal blog ad-dressing the Queen James transla-tion of the Bible.

In his blog, Eschliman stat-ed, “I’d like to talk a little bit about deceivers among us, most notably the LGBTQXYZ crowd and the Gaystapo effort to reword the Bible to make their sinful na-ture ‘right with God.’” He con-cluded his blog entry with, “If you

ask me, it sounds like the Gay-stapo is well on its way. We must fight back against the enemy.”

Daily News management learned of the blog posting last Tuesday afternoon and suspended Eschliman on Wednesday. He remained under suspension until Monday’s decision.

Daily News Publisher Dan Goetz said a search for a new edi-tor would begin immediately.

“This was a very difficult situ-ation,” Goetz said. “I cannot di-rectly comment on a personnel matter. We are moving on.”

The Daily News is owned by Shaw Media, and a column from Shaw Media President John Rung appears on page 4A of today’s paper.

“Last week, Mr. Eschliman expressed an opinion on his per-sonal blog that in no way reflects the opinion of the Newton Daily News or Shaw Media,” Rung stated. “While Mr. Eschliman is entitled to his opinion, his pub-lic airing of it compromised the reputation of this newspaper and his ability to lead it.”

Rung also stated, “Mr. Eschli-man has a right to voice his opin-ion. And we have a right to select an editor who we believe best represents our company and best serves the interests of our read-ers.”

Eschliman had been employed at the Daily News since June 2012.

Disaster official calls for storm readinessDES MOINES (AP)

— The state’s top di-saster services official said Monday the death of two Iowa residents during April 27 storms highlights the need for people to prepare for storms and for the state that means help-ing school districts get the money to build safe rooms.

The storm that struck Keokuk County just over a week ago was not iden-tified as a tornado by the National Weather Ser-vice until after a second person died, said Mark Schouten, director of the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Manage-ment. One woman was killed near Martinsburg, the other near Kinross. Both were caught out-side when winds hit.

“The National Weather Service has confirmed that an EF1 tornado developed in Wapello County then

crossed through Keokuk and Iowa counties end-ing in Johnson County,” Gov. Terry Branstad said at his weekly news conference. “Many ar-eas of the state experi-enced damage caused by straight line winds and thousands of homes lost their power. This was an unfortunate reminder that severe weather can strike any time and that we’re all susceptible.”

Schouten, who Brans-tad asked to attend the news conference to dis-cuss storm preparedness, said people should stay informed about storms as they develop by using a cellphone weather ap-plication that provides tornado alerts or by be-ing of reports from local radio or television sta-tions. He said families should have an emer-gency plan including a location where fam-ily members will meet if disaster strikes and an emergency supply kit

ready at home and in the car.

“Taking just a few minutes today to plan what you will do in an emergency can keep you and your family safe and may also save a life,” he said.

Schouten said the state’s preparedness also has included helping schools build safe rooms that can withstand tor-nadoes.

The agency released information that shows 40 tornado safe rooms have been approved or completed at a cost of over $42 million. The projects are paid for through a program in-volving the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency and the state.

There are not yet enough safe rooms yet in Iowa, Schouten said. The state has 351 school districts and the funded projects involve 33 dis-tricts.

Deadline nears for century, heritage farm applicationsIowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill

Northey is reminding eligible farm owners the deadline to apply for the 2014 Century and Heritage Farm Program is June 1.

The program recognizes families that have owned their farm for 100 years in the case of Century Farms and 150 years for Heritage Farms.

“The deadline for families with a Century or Heritage applications is quickly approaching and I hope those with an eligible farm will take the time to apply,” Northey said. “This program is a great way to highlight the deep history and strong heritage of agriculture in our state.”

Applications are available on the Department’s website at www.Io-waAgriculture.gov by clicking on the

Century Farm or Heritage Farm link under “Hot Topics.”

Applications also may be requested from Becky Lorenz, coordinator of the Century and Heritage Farm Program at (515) 281-3645, [email protected] or by writing to Century or Heritage Farms Program, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Henry A. Wal-lace Building, 502 E. Ninth St., Des Moines, IA 50319.

The program is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. The ceremony to recognize the 2014 Century and Her-itage Farms is scheduled to be held at the Iowa State Fair on Tuesday, Aug. 12.

Authorities warn of jury duty scamDES MOINES (AP) — The Polk County Sheriff ’s Office is warning of a

scam in which people are asked to pay fines for missing jury duty.The sheriff ’s office says it has received reports of calls made to county res-

idents, telling them they have been sent numerous certified letters ordering them to report to jury duty. Because they haven’t responded, they must pay a substantial fine, and should do so in cash or a pre-paid card.

The sheriff ’s office says it would never demand payment of fines by phone and asked that those who receive such calls to report them to authorities.

Officially, the session didn’t end until shortly after 9 a.m. Friday. We gaveled in at 8 for passage of a resolution that would al-low the Senate Oversight Committee to sub-poena witnesses during their attempt to get to the bottom of the “Hush Money” contro-versy. Twenty-four hours earlier, the legisla-ture had worked through the night, with the Senate adjourning after daylight Thursday morning.

All said, although quite controversial, the session was quite pro-ductive. My objectives with soil and water conservation and natu-ral resource protection were well rewarded, al-though the House re-fused to meet my goal of $18 million for “cost share funding” through the Department of Agriculture. This fund-ing would allow leveraging of approximately $45 million in private funding to allow ap-proximately $63 million for work state-wide through the local Soil and Water Conser-vation Districts. Grassed waterways, native grass filter strips along streams, pond con-struction, farmland terraces, winter cover crops, etc., were the objective. As it was, the Republican Majority in the House insisted on less than $10 million, leaving a lot of cur-rently engineered projects intended to keep top soil on the farm and aid in cleaning Iowa’s surface waters grossly underfunded. In addition, the funding would have been a great boost for land improvement contrac-tors, creating jobs and spending from that industry across the state.

A great accomplishment was my well known objective of $25 million for REAP, Iowa’s nationally award winning Resource Enhancement and Protection program. This is the 25th anniversary of REAP, which I co-authored during my early years in the House. The program allows for land and water im-provements, cultural and trail grants, and a diversity of outdoor recreation opportunities across the state.

A real frustration for me over the past 10 years has been my inability to get the House and Senate to agree on the elimination of sales tax that has to be charged clients of En-vironmental Testing Labs across Iowa. Our state is the only one in the nation that does so, thus causing a huge competitive detri-ment for Keystone in Newton and others headquartered in Iowa. I got an agreement at 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, and a new bill I quickly put together sailed through the Sen-ate and House. Effective July 1, 2015, this will allow a level playing field for Environ-mental Testing Labs who compete for state and federal mandated testing of water sup-plies, sewage station outflow, and a myriad of testing required to protect the public health and welfare. This was a job creator, for Iowa’s labs will require additional professional help for new contracts.

Although this session is over, and come January of 2015 I shall be out of the legisla-ture, I will not sit back and watch the world go by. I actually think I can be quite effective outside the gold dome, by advocating for our land, water and air. In addition, I will work to increase the visibility of Iowa around the world, with many nations depending on us for feed grain and meat protein. I really look forward to what the future has in store.

Now with the session over, call me at (515) 975-8608; write me at box 1271, Newton, 50208; or email [email protected] I shall continue to serve your needs through the year.

Over and out!

The First Amendment pro-hibits the making of any law that impedes the free exercise of reli-gion, abridg-es freedom of speech, i n f r i n g e s on the free-dom of the press, inter-feres with the right to p e a c e a b l y a s s e m b l e , or prohibits the petition-ing of government for redress of grievances.

The First Amendment does not eliminate responsibility and accountability for one’s words and actions.

As reported on page 2 of to-day’s newspaper, Bob Eschliman is no longer the editor of the Newton Daily News.

Last week, he expressed an opinion on his personal blog that in no way reflects the opin-ion of the Newton Daily News

or Shaw Media. While he is en-titled to his opinion, his public airing of it compromised the reputation of this newspaper and his ability to lead it.

Shaw Media’s “Statement of editorial principals,” which can be read in full by clicking on the link at the bottom of Newton-DailyNews.com, starts with this:

“Because journalists subject people and institutions to in-tense and constant scrutiny, we must maintain the highest prin-ciples in our conduct. Our integ-rity is our most valuable asset. Without it, we lose the public trust invested in us by the First Amendment of the U.S. Consti-tution.”

In the past week, we have lost some of that public trust that is so vital to our existence. Today, we hope to begin earning it back.

There will be some who will criticize our action, and mistak-enly cite Mr. Eschliman’s First Amendment rights as a reason he should continue on as editor of the Newton Daily News.

As previously stated, he has a right to voice his opinion. And we have a right to select an editor who we believe best represents our company and best serves the interests of our readers.

We take our responsibility as a media company seriously. Our Promise is to provide relevant information, marketing solu-tions for our business partners, and to advocate for the commu-nities we serve. To be effective advocates, we must be able to represent the entire community fairly.

We thank everyone for their concern, and we look forward to continuing to serve you into the future.

Keeping In Touch

To the editor: Bob Eschliman does great work in the journalism

field. He also happens to be a man of extraordinary faith. I admire Bob in many ways. He served this country in the military. He’s continued that service by being a hard-worker in the newspaper business.

As someone who defended American freedoms in the military, Bob enjoyed that freedom with a personal blog. Again, that’s a personal blog — simi-lar to a diary, except something interesting enough for other people to want to read.

Last week, Bob wrote a blog post about the far left, pro-homosexual agenda. It’s the same far left, pro-homosexual agenda that many journalists have — whether they admit it or not. He wrote that there is a group of homosexual activists trying to twist the words in the Bible to make homosexual-ity seem OK.

There’s no debate about whether or not this is happening. And there’s no debate about whether or not they threaten Christians. I’m guessing the flo-rists, bakers and photographers who have been sued for not providing services to a homosexual wedding (which violates their most deeply-held religious be-liefs), would agree.

When I read that the Des Moines Register, along

with a far left Internet blogger, took exception to Bob’s post, I was astounded. First of all, bloggers, and especially newspapers, should recognize free-dom of speech. Considering the source (the Regis-ter), I’ll give them a pass on understanding freedom of religion.

Bob wrote about how the homosexual activists are attempting to silence Christians and re-write the Bible. In response, homosexual activists are at-tempting to deny these charges by silencing Bob. Am I the only one able to connect these dots?

Surely a newspaper like the Newton Daily News understand the essential freedoms we have both as journalists and as U.S. citizens. At some point someone somewhere needs to stand up to the ho-mosexual activists. It seemed to work out pretty well for Chick-fil-A.

As a Christian who happens to believe in what the Bible actually says, I realize we will be perse-cuted. I realize that the world will hate us for simply believing in the Bible, but that is OK because the world first hated Christ.

But as an American I am appalled at the attempts to silence and censor God-fearing patriots like Bob. After all, he fought for the freedom to even have this debate. At the very least we should include him in it.

Letters to the Editor

To the editor,As a former Newton Daily News sports writer, I

remember my time quite fondly in Jasper County. Whether it was getting to know countless students and parents or befriending former coworkers with whom I still talk to regularly, it was a great two-and-a-half years.

But, it’s sad to see that the antiquated, out-of-

touch thinking of senior leadership at the newspaper is still prevailing. After reading the (now deleted) blog post of the editor saying that the “Gaystapo is well on its way” and that “we must fight back against the enemy,” I’m amazed that this notion of extrin-sic religiosity still exists with some subsets of our culture.

Opinions are one thing. Hate speech is some-thing entirely different.

Daily News and refund my unused pre-paid fee. I just read the article in the April 28 edi-tion of the Des Moines Register titled, “Iowa Newspaper Editor Criticizes the ‘Gaystapo.’” The article “outed” Bob Eschliman as the editor in question.

In a time that we are working to promote Newton as a welcoming community, a great place to do business and raise a family, I find Mr. Eschliman’s commentary in poor taste and counterproductive to our community’s growth and well-being. Mr. Eschliman is en-titled to his personal beliefs — I just don’t want to see them publicized in the Des Moines Register and Newton Daily News.

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: I recently went in on a gift with my friend “Ali” for our other friend, “Gena.” Ali offered to purchase and wrap the gift, a nice wallet from an inexpensive store. Imagine my surprise when Ali turned up at Gena’s birthday party with the wallet elaborately wrapped in expen-sive designer paper.

At first, I thought she had spent more of her money and upgraded our gift, but when Gena unwrapped the designer packaging to reveal the original wallet we had selected, I was taken aback. It turned out that Ali had reused the wrapping paper from a gift her husband had given her, dis-guising our present as something it wasn’t.

Gena was clearly disappointed. Other guests who had been eyeing it looked excited at first, then confused. I felt our gift wasn’t appreciated and we ended up looking cheap. I was at a loss for words. What would have been the appropriate way to handle the situation? Is this normal gift-wrapping practice, or did Ali cross the line? — FLABBERGASTED IN FLORIDA

DEAR FLABBERGASTED: Reusing wrapping paper isn’t un-usual. Gena’s reaction to the gift was inappropriate. Instead of letting her disappointment show, Gena should have smiled and graciously thanked you and Ali for her gift. (Remem-ber the phrase, “It’s the thought that counts”?) As for you, all you needed to say was “Happy Birthday!”

DEAR ABBY: With Mother’s Day nearly upon us, would you re-mind your readers that stepmothers are worthy of recognition, too? If one has any regard for the feelings of his or her stepmom, PLEASE make her day by calling or visiting her and tell-ing her how much she means to you.

And I don’t mean a phone call at 9 p.m.

I married my husband when his sons were in their late teens. Every Mother’s Day for 14 years I have been reminded that his sons choose not to recognize me, even though our relationships are very good. (One of them is a stepfather himself.) It’s a real heartbreaker, believe me. — GIVING UP ON WAITING IN OREGON

DEAR GIVING UP ON WAIT-ING: If you think you are the only stepmother who feels unappreciated on Mother’s Day, think again. I have heard from many stepmothers who have written letters that are variations on this theme. There can be reasons for it — the fact that you didn’t raise them, fear that it would be somehow disloyal to their birth mother, unre-solved relationship issues or just be-ing preoccupied.

If you haven’t discussed this with your stepsons, perhaps you should. Or better yet, your husband should. But if that doesn’t solve the prob-lem, for your own sake, stop brood-ing about it and direct your attention elsewhere.

Mann selected for ISU Dance TeamSpecial to the Daily News

Newton High School senior Morgan Mann has been se-lected to the 2014-15 Iowa State University Dance Team. The try-outs were April 25 to 27 in Ames with ap-proximately 120 par-ticipants.

The team consists of 36 members that perform at all ISU Big 12 football and men’s and women’s basket-ball games. The dance team also attends the Iowa State Drill Team Dance championships held in Des Moines and the NDA Col-lege National Dance Championships held in Daytona Beach, Fla., each spring.

Mann has been a member of the New-ton Senior High

School Pacesetters for the past four years. She was senior captain and selected by her coaches as “Pacesetter of the Year” all four years on the team. Morgan was

selected to the All-Iowa Honor Dance Team (2011-2014), NDA All-American Team (2010-2013) and placed in the top 10 at the Iowa State

Drill Team Associa-tion Solo Champion-ships (2011-2013).

Morgan plans to major in elementary education while at-tending Iowa State.

Clip suspected in circus accident;

eight hospitalizedPROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Investigators sus-

pect that a snapped clip sent eight aerial acrobats plummeting 20 feet or more during a daring act in which performers dangle from their hair. One injured performer told her father she didn’t notice anything amiss before her “plunge into darkness.”

The clip, a common type called a carabiner that’s used for everything from rock climbing to holding keyrings, was one of several pieces at the top of a chan-delier-like apparatus that suspended the performers, fire officials said. After the accident, the 4- to 5-inch steel clip was found in three pieces on the ground with its spine snapped.

Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare stopped short of saying the carabiner caused Sun-day’s accident at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus, witnessed by about 3,900 people, many of them children. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is trying to make a final deter-mination.

“We don’t know if it was metal fatigue, if it wasn’t properly positioned or something else,” Pare said. “We just don’t know.”

All eight of the acrobats were still hospitalized with injuries including a pierced liver and neck and back fractures, as well as head injuries. None of the injuries appear to be life-threatening, said Stephen Payne, a spokesman for Feld Entertainment, Ringling’s parent company. The last two acrobats in critical condition were upgraded to serious condition Monday night. Four of the acrobats were in good condition and four in serious.

The women are from the United States, Brazil, Bulgaria and Ukraine, the circus said. A dancer on the ground was also injured and was released from the hospital Sunday.

Two women, Dayana Costa and Julissa Segrera, were listed in critical condition. Another injured acro-bat, Stefany Neves, fractured both ankles and had her liver pierced by her ribs, her sister Renata Neves told TV Globo’s G1, a Brazilian Internet news portal. She was in serious condition.

Police Sgt. Sean Carroll said one performer looked up at him after the accident and said calmly, “I can’t feel my legs.”

The performers — called “hairialists” — hang from their hair during the act, which includes choreography and spinning, hanging from hoops, and rolling down wrapped silks while suspended as high as 40 feet.

During the show, a curtain dropped to reveal the eight women hanging from the apparatus. Seconds later, as they began to perform, the women fell, and the apparatus landed on them.

The equipment has been used dozens of times per week since the beginning of the year, and a circus crew had installed it last week, Payne said. The crew also in-spects it, he said, and performers generally check their own rigging.

Feld said Monday that it did not know why the carabiner failed, and that it is replacing each one in the show before the next performance, on Thursday in Hartford, Connecticut. The hair act will not be per-formed there, the company said.

the program to a group of Jasper and Poweshiek County farmers in an in-formational meeting May 1, in Lyn-nville.

“It’s going to help with the hay shortage,” Kramer said. “Obviously there was a great demand for hay, as there is not as much of it, and it will help with the feed costs. It may not cover everything for a producer, but it will help what they lost.”

This program was part of the 2008 Farm Bill that expired in 2011. In the current farm bill, the LFP has

now been made a permanent law, and Kramer said this is the first time Jasper County has been eligible for this par-ticular assistance.

The LFP provides cattle farmers with payments for the lesser of month-ly feed costs or grazing capacity of their lands during times of extreme drought designated by the USDA. County farmers who own or rent their proper-ties will by eligible for the benefits.

In 2012, Jasper County met the USDA drought monitor status of D3, making local farmers eligible for four monthly payments. In 2013, the coun-ty reached a D2 status allowing farm-ers one month’s payment.

According to USDA officials, due to

federal sequester cuts, farmers who file paperwork to receive payments after Sept. 30 will be subject to 7.2 percent cut in reimbursement.

The LFP program will not take care of the watering expenses accrued during the droughts, but for farmers like Kaisand, recouping some of the feed costs will be helpful in keeping a healthy business.

For Kaisand, the drought caused a two-fold issue. As the hay pastures’ pro-duction began to stagnate earlier than average years, the cattle farmer moved to feed. But the rising corn prices in 2012 caused Kaisand to “drastically change” his farm’s normal feed program.

Practicing rotational grazing during

the drought was also tough on the land itself. Kaisand said typically, a cattle farmer would like animals’ natural wa-tering source to be 900 feet from the herd. As creeks on Kaisand Farm dried during the last two drought cycles, the cattle had to be moved more than a mile to water. This herd movement caused strain on the dry soil.

But the Jasper County farmer said his corp. has been fortunate that they were able to use corn stock and other byproducts to supplement the lack of hay. In 2012, Kaisand explained he used 53 pairs of ryegrass, which helped his pastures temporarily, and was “amazed” at the yield. But this year, he isn’t seeing near those results.

Report shows growth in renewable fuels blends

JOHNSTON – On Monday, the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association noted the Iowa Department of Revenue’s recently released 2013 Retailers Motor Fuel Gallons An-nual Report shows vast growth in the use of higher-level blends of ethanol and biodiesel in 2013.

The report showed 2013 sales of pure bio-diesel (B100) increased 24 percent over 2012, setting a new record of 28.9 million gallons. Biodiesel also witnessed a 21 percent in-crease in blended gallons sold, with immense growth in B10 (a fuel blend containing 10 percent biodiesel). Sales of B10 increased by nearly 121 percent, from 32.8 million gallons sold in 2012 to more than 72.4 million gal-lons sold in 2013. Nearly half of the diesel sold in Iowa is now blended with biodiesel.

The report also showed sales of mid-level ethanol blends, from E15 to E69, increased more than 158 percent in 2013, totaling more than 5.4 million gallons sold. Sales of E85 also hit an all-time high with more than 11.1 million gallons sold, an increase of 18 percent over 2012.

“Iowa motorists and retailers showed a serious commitment to higher-level ethanol and biodiesel blends in 2013,” stated IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw. “The bio-diesel sector realized the most growth, with retail locations moving away from low-level blends like B2 to offer consumers B5, B10, and B20. This shows biodiesel is a proven, high-quality fuel and consumers will choose it when offered.”

Shaw added, “Across the board increases in the use of ethanol blends above E10 prove, despite the petroleum industry’s well-funded scare campaign, consumers prefer low-cost, homegrown ethanol. The EPA’s proposal to slash 2014 targets under the Renewable Fuel Standard would be detrimental to the great progress we’ve made improving air quality and increasing our energy security through domestically produced, less expensive etha-nol and biodiesel blends.”

Northey comments on crops and weather

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Ag-riculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statis-tical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Planting was slowed by the wet weather that affected much of the state for several days last week, but 23 percent of the corn crop has now been planted,” Northey said. “Farmers will look to make significant prog-ress on corn and some will likely start plant-ing beans if we do get several days with warm dry weather as forecast.”

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgricul-ture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here:

Research proves herbicide non-issue with SDSANKENY – The world’s

most widely used weed killer is not responsible for perpetuating Sudden Death Syndrome in soy-beans, research shows.

A collaborative effort among soybean researchers in the United States and Canada and found that glyphosate does not increase SDS severity or adversely affect yields in soybean fields. Scientists from five Midwest universities and the Ontario Ministry of Agricul-ture Food and Rural Affairs, led by Daren Mueller of Iowa State University (ISU) in Ames, par-ticipated in the three-year study. Yuba Kandel of ISU analyzed the data.

“A common claim out there is glyphosate is making SDS worse,” said Mueller, a plant pa-thologist specializing in SDS and other soybean diseases. “This re-search proves that there are other factors much more important to the development of SDS than herbicide selection.”

The syndrome is caused by a fungus that lives in the soil and enters plants through their roots,

causing them to rot. Toxins cause yellow and brown lesions on leaves, and pod fill is compro-mised. SDS is more prevalent if soil is wet, cold and compacted during germination and early re-productive stages.

Fifteen field experiments were conducted in Iowa, Illinois, In-diana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada from 2011-13. Six herbicide combinations of non-glyphosate and glyphosate, including pre- and post-emer-gence, were tested. Single and multiple applications were also compared.

There were no statistically sig-nificant effects of herbicide treat-ments or interactions on SDS se-verity, data showed.

SDS outbreaks have been rela-tively low in Iowa the last three years mostly due to dry summers, experts conclude. But that could change this year.

“SDS is largely driven by en-vironmental conditions,” Mueller said. “While the wet, cold spring does play a role in increased risk; to get foliar symptoms, you need

moisture during late vegeta-tive/early reproductive stages for higher levels of disease.”

SDS has been on the rise the last decade. It came to a head in Iowa in 2010, when yield losses in some infected areas reached 40 percent or more. The disease has cost farmers billions of dollars.

Selecting seed varieties resis-tant to SDS offers the best pro-tection, experts say. Breaking up soil compaction zones and ex-tended crop rotations are also ef-fective control methods.

“This unbiased and scientif-ically-sound study by research-ers demonstrates no correlation between glyphosate use and the incidence or severity of soybean sudden death syndrome,” said Dr. Ed Anderson, Iowa Soybean As-sociation senior director of Sup-ply & Production Services. “Iowa farmers who are faced with the challenges of managing SDS can use this information in consider-ing how to manage their weed and disease problems.”

USDA begins drought assistance program for county farmers

LYNNVILLE - On the pastures of Kaisand Farm Corp. Northeast of Rock Creek, atypical weather patterns contin-ue to plague co-owner Dave Kaisand.

“The pastures are not growing this year. We’ve had the water, but this is really our first warm day,” he said Monday.

Kaisand has farmed the acreage since gradu-ating from Iowa State University in 1976. The small farming corpora-tions started by his late father, owned by Kai-sand, his brother and son-in-law, graze rough-ly 83 head of spring cattle and 14 fall cows. During the drought of

2012 Kaisand had less hay yield, but beef prices were higher, so his feed costs were mitigated somewhat. But in 2013, he said their cattle were weighing in nearly 100 pounds lighter than av-erage, loosing nearly $150 per head.

The Livestock For-age Disaster Program (LFP) in the 2014 farm bill is designed to pro-vide financial assistance to U.S. farmers like Kai-sand. USDA County Executive Director Ka-tie Kramer said it’s her intention to make sure all local farmers take ad-vantage for the federal program.

Cardinal girls are Little Hawkeye Conference champs

PELLA — Ten shots bet-ter than their nearest com-petitor, Newton’s Cardinals captured the 2014 Little Hawkeye Conference girls’ golf championship. The Car-dinals combined for a 389 for the 18-hole competition with Pella’s Lady Dutch in second place with 399.

The Cardinals had gotten a confi dence boost a few weeks ago when they played the Pella Golf & Country Club course, winning a confer-ence triangular meet. Newton fi nished second at the 2013 LHC golf tournament.

“This was a gutsy perfor-mance by our girls and all the golfers. All of us have had to deal with the weather keep-ing us off the course — both competition and practice — for about two weeks,” said Scott Enyart, Newton head coach.

“It’s an honor to win our

conference. Our girls dug deep today and played well enough to win. They are pleased with their fi nish but not satisfi ed. They are ready to get back to work in practice to improve on their games.”

Norwalk fi nished in third place in the team standings with a 405 followed by Grin-nell at 434, Knoxville at 464 and Dallas Center-Grimes at 465. Pella Christian’s Eagles had a 472 for seventh place.

Oskaloosa did not fi eld a full team for a team score.

Newton landed four golf-ers in the top 12 with three — junior Shelbey Cochran, and seniors Carrie Cunningham and Madigan Hillyard —

shooting 97s. They tied with Pella Christian’s Savanna Baugh for fourth place.

Newton girls have four LHC track champions

PELLA — Four individual cham-pionships went into the book for Newton’s girls at the 2014 Little Hawkeye Conference track meet Monday.

Pella’s Lady Dutch ran away with the team championship, amassing 185 points. Dallas Center-Grimes was second at 132 points and Oska-loosa placed third with 104.5 points.

The Cardinals fi nished fourth, one point ahead of Grinnell. New-ton scored 101 points and Grinnell had 100. Norwalk placed sixth with 68 points followed by Pella Christian with 36.5 points and Knoxville with 12 points.

Senior Michaela Bleeker broke through and claimed the LHC shot put championship, after taking sec-ond a year ago. Bleeker won the shot put with a throw of 39 feet, 8 inches.

Junior Sarah Kalkhoff defended her conference championship in the discus, winning with a throw of 129’7”. Kalkhoff also placed fi fth in the shot put at 34’8” and Bleeker was fi fth in the discus at 101’4”.

Sophomore Grace Coen also de-fended LHC titles in the 3,000 me-ters and the 1,500 meters. Coen came into the conference meet with the best time among LHC runners in the 1,500 and second best in the 3,000.

Coen ran away from the fi eld in the 3,000 meters, winning in 10 min-utes, 56.60 seconds. Bailey Blythe of Oskaloosa was second in 11:25.67. In the 1,500, Coen battled with Madison Waymire of Dallas Center-Grimes throughout the race, winning in 4:52.99 as Waymire crossed the fi nish line in 4:58.03.

“We were competitive and fought for places. I was happy with our ef-fort. I knew the team race was going to be close. It is tough to miss 3rd place by a small margin,” said Rachel Tomas, Newton head coach.

Pella Christian’s Christa Veen-stra fi nished third in the 400-meter dash in 1:01.24, edging out Newton’s Sydney Jenkins, who was fourth in 1:01.24. Newton’s Anna Barr fi nished eighth in 1:08.66.

Newton’s Amber Karsten earned the silver medal in the 200-meter dash in 26.99 seconds with Jenkins in sixth at 27.50. Hailey Coy ran sixth in the 800-meter run for Newton in 2:30.85 and Barr was seventh in the 400-meter hurdles in 1:14.04.

The Cardinals fi nished third in two relay races and fourth in three relay races. Newton’s distance medley relay team of Taylor Fisher, Leela Spen-cer, Karsten and Coy placed third in 4:31.72. Karsten combined with Coy,

Coen and Jenkins to take third in the 4x400-meter race in 4:16.51.

MAXWELL — After a last-minute win over Prairie City-Monroe last Friday, Collins- Maxwell/Baxter’s Raiders faced the third-ranked team in Class 1A Monday night.

“Things did not go well for us,” said CMB head coach Gary Cummings. The CMB girls lost 10-0 to host Nevada after trail-ing 9-0 at halftime.

The Raiders host Iowa Falls of Alden Thursday.

Tabitha Halferty placed the ball just past the PCM goalkeeper for the deciding goal in Fri-day’s Heart of Iowa Con-ference game. Halferty’s goal lifted the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter girls to a 3-2 victory over the visit-

ing Mustangs.“It was nice to see that

some of the things that the girls have been work-ing on in practiced car-ried over into the game. This was a team win with good play from all,” said CMB head coach Gary Cummings.

“Lexi Breon once again did a great job in goal. Emily Coughenour and Cassandra Bianchi an-chored the defense.”

CMB led 1-0 at half-time on a goal by Halferty at the 6:37 mark in the fi rst half. Katie Ziesman put the Raiders up 2-0 on a goal in the 49th minute.

PCM battled back with goals by Bella George and Kenna Walters to draw even with CMB. Half-erty’s second goal of the game handed the victory to the Raiders.

earned top medalist honors at the LHC tournament with a 92. Sarah Frischmeyer of Grinnell took the runner-up medalist honor, fi nishing with a 93.

Pella Christian’s Autumn Vos fashioned a 94 to place third in the conference meet.

“Carrie had a strong front nine, using a birdie on No. 3 and a couple of pars. She had a 20-foot putt from off the green on No. 3,” Enyart said. “She had a great tee shot on her 17th hole of the tournament, hitting a 4-iron.”

Enyart said chipping and putting saved Hill-yard throughout the tournament. He said she stayed away from big numbers on individual holes all day, scoring consistently.

Cochran struggled hitting the ball during warm-ups, Enyart said. He said Cochran’s fi rst three holes were tough then she parred No. 5 and No. 6 “which seem to settle Shelbey down and she played steady the rest of the way.”

Newton sophomore Jessica Reynolds fi red a 98, tying with Norwalk’s Emily Kawano for eighth place. Reynolds, Cochran, Cummingham an Hill-yard earned 2014 LHS All- Conference honors.Reynolds had two pars among the 18 holes and hit the ball pretty well, Enyart said. The short game was a bit off for Reynolds, he added.

“We just need some nice days to get out on the course and work. We need to hit the ball more crisply, plus chip and putt better,” Enyart said.

Newton’s Jessica Smith shot a 104 for the day and Abby Jolivette carded a 112.

The Cardinals host the NHS Varsity Invi-tational Friday at Westwood Golf Course. Ex-pected for the tournament are Colfax-Mingo, Prairie City-Monroe, Ankeny Centennial, Bon-durant-Farrar, Chariton, Johnston, Marshall-town, North Polk and South Tama along with Newton. Tee time is 3:30 p.m.

Pella Christian are at Lynnville-Sully today at Diamond Trail Golf Course in Lynnville.

Raiders beat PCM, lose to Nevada


Colfax-Mingo track teams compete in CMB meets

BAXTER - Colfax-Mingo boys track continued to meet personal goals Monday night, as they competed in a co-ed meet hosted by Collins-Maxwell/Bax-ter.

CMB won the meet, although offi cial results were not yet avail-able by presstime Tuesday, nor were C-M girls highlights.

The top place winner for the Tigerhawks came in the 1,600-meter relay, with the team of Blake Summy, Jaden Rusk, Jake Lietz and Gabe Simpson fi nishing second in 3:58.02.

Boys head coach Matt Barkalow said he was impressed by the C-M distance medley runners Monday night.

“I was really proud of our distance medley relay team, which ran a season best time by about 3.5 seconds,” he said. “All four boys ran extremely well and competed at a high level. Rusk got things off to a hot start, and Lietz really killed his 400m leg, moving us up to at or near the

lead. Then Simpson highlighted things by holding off another an-chorman for the (distance med-ley) silver medal.”

Barkalow continued to em-phasize the individual goals of his young team. Sophomore Al-len Wheeler had three personal records Monday night, placing sixth in the long jump in 17 feet 7 inches. This was only his sec-ond attempt at the event. Seven Tigerhawks set personal records at CMB.

The 4x800-meter relay team of Simpson, Buehrer, Rusk and Clayton Brown took third Monday, with a time of 9:13.27. Summy placed fourth in the long jump with a leap of 18’ 5.25”. In both the 4x200-meter and 4x400-meter relays, the team of Summy, Rusk, Simpson and Lietz took fourth in 1:39.75 and 3:47, respectively.

Tigerhawks Cody Brodka, Colin Lourens, Lane Dunblazier and Richard Blom placed sixth in the shuttle-huddle relay in 1:15.

C-M boys and girls will return to action at 5 p.m. Thursday, in a co-ed invitational in Newton.


OSKALOOSA — Pella Christian’s Eagles fi nished fourth at Mon-day’s boys’ Little Hawkeye Conference golf tourna-ment. The LHC golfers competed at Edmundson Golf Club in Oskaloosa.

Pella’s Little Dutch cap-tured the Little Hawkeye golf championship with a 307. The Little Grinnell fi nished second in the sev-en-team fi eld with a 335.

The Eagles were two shots out of third place. Dallas Center-Grimes combined for a 341 for third and Pella Christian had a team total of 343.

Pella Christian’s Jus-tin Stravers earned All-

Little Hawkeye Confer-ence honors, placing 12th with an 82 for the 18-hole event. Pella’s Sean Rennich was the top medalist with a 73 followed by teammates Corey Elliott at 76 and Colton Bradley at 77.

Josh Posthuma pro-duced the second-lowest total for the Eagles with an 85. Graham Howerzyl and Mitch Fopma each carded an 88. Mason Howerzyl shot an 89 and Jason Hol-werda fi nished with a 90.

Pella Christian plays at Colfax-Mingo on Saturday. The Eagles have two more regulars season competitions — May 12 at Grinnell and May 13 at North Mahaska — before playing in the Class 2A sectional on May 14 at Des Moines Christian.

POLK CITY - At the Heart of Iowa Conference golf tour-nament Monday, Prairie City-Monroe was a strong con-tender, fi nishing third in the 10-team contest.

Mustang Devon Woody led his team, shooting a 73 at the Tournament Club of Iowa course at just two above par. Woody shot one under par on the back nine with a score of 35. Justin Beener also had a

good meet Monday, shooting a 37 on his fi rst nine holes and fi nishing with an 80 on the day.

Woody and Beener have led their team all season, con-sistently shooting near par on most courses. Other PCM scoreres from the conference meet include Reid Jenkins with an 84 and Wade Hill with an 88.

Colfax-Mingo golfers fi n-ished sixth overall in Polk City, with Jimmy Abell as the Tiger-hawks top scorer. He shot a 76 on the day, leading with a 37 on

the front nine holes at just two over par.

MaCauley Mosher scored a 96 for C-M Monday, followed by Mason Mosher with a 104, and Adam Teed rounded out the Tigerhawk scorers with a 110.

PCM will hit the links again Thursday, as the team competes in a varsity tournament hosted by Roland-Story in Story City. The Mustangs will tee off at 4 p.m.

C-M golfers will host an in-vitational at 9 a.m. Saturday

Astrograph

The Leo moon brings out the theatrical lighting as we watch the dramas of our lives unfold in scenes. The tendency toward exaggeration will be excused, but if there’s one thing that is inexcusable, it’s dullness. “Imperfec-tion is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” — Marilyn Monroe

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 6). You connect with an interesting new project and happily let it take over your world in May. In June, remarkably, everyone on your team will agree, and you’ll build something together that will last for many years to come. July is for making over your domes-tic life. Organization and simplicity lead to good fortune. Aries and Sagit-tarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 23, 44, 49 and 50.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You bring an elusive quality to your work this week, and even though no one will name it and it can’t easily be described, it’s what distinguishes

you from the others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Handle a niggling responsibility. It’s like a tiny pebble in your shoe: It may seem insignificant, but if you’re continually stepping on it, it will be-come the foremost thing on your mind.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone you know acts differently depending on the venue and who’s involved. This is normal and true of everyone to a degree. However, when the inconsistency is glar-ing, beware the red flag and proceed accordingly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The work you are doing may be serious, but you don’t have to match that seriousness with your attitude. You can’t build relationships from a rigid stance. Rapport is a kind of play, and it requires you to stay flexible in the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know better than to share your First World problems with those who have seen real hardship in their time. You like such

people. They help you keep a proper perspective.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One who lacks confidence and command is actually highly accom-plished and knowledge-able with much to offer you. You’ll also encounter the opposite scenario: one who knows nothing and does so quite loudly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It feels as though you can’t help a certain person, but you can. You don’t have to do much. Just show up. Small as-surances can in no way make up for the vast, empty enormity of unan-swerable questions, but they are something.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Everyone loves a mystery, even those who insist you give them all of the information be-cause they hate surprises. Let the suspense build. Do not reveal all that you know.

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan. 19). You’re in a position to close the deal, so don’t procrastinate. When you seize the mo-

ment, you make a positive impression. Be confident — if not for you, then because they need that from you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Unimpres-sive exteriors have been known to hide truly impressive interiors. You’ll train yourself to stay open-minded and to ask questions instead of assume.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Not only do you think before you act, but you also think about what you think about. There is no danger of over-think-ing things now; you’ll get clearer with each new idea.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a job with your name on it, and you’ll do this as only you can. Your signature style won’t emerge as a creative effort; rather, it’s the natural outcropping of your work.
