Bertha the biker dog becomes official Thunder Nites mascot

Those who have attended Thunder Nites in Newton are probably familiar with Bertha, the big, brown, friendly mascot.

Beverly and Gene West have had Bertha since she was just a few weeks old and the Brin-dle Mastiff is now four years old. Bertha, now the mascot of Thunder Nites, is making waves on the Internet.

“She was born on my hus-band’s birthday,” Beverly said.

On her husbands birthday,

as Bertha’s mother was giving birth to her, Beverly and Gene received a call. They were look-ing for a breeder that was sell-ing Brindle Mastiffs.

Since then, Bertha has come to be known as the Biker Dog. Ber-tha, who has her own Facebook page, can be seen around Newton and the Des Moines donning biker garb and riding in the side-car of a motorcycle. Beverly said they never have a problem get-ting Bertha in the motorcycle.

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsTeachers at Woodrow Wilson Elementary practice the “swarm” technique during Mon-day’s ALICE training session held in the building’s library. ALICE is being implemented in all of schools in the Newton Community School District. Additionally, NCSD Director of Business Af-fairs Gayle Isaac will speak about initiatives to enhance school safety at the Aurora Heights PTA meeting from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. tonight in the AH gymnasium. The public is invited to attend.

Schools preparing to deal with threats

“It is eye-opening. It is empowering, and it will help you look at our safety procedures in a differ-ent light,” were the words Woodrow Wilson Ele-mentary School Principal Nancy Van Wyk used to prepare her staff for AL-ICE training on Monday.

ALICE is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, In-form, Counter and Evacu-ate, which is a program that teaches schools offi-cials how to properly pre-pare for an active shooter in a building. On Mon-day, all four elementary buildings in the Newton

Community School Dis-trict underwent this train-ing, and there are plans to provide this training at both the middle and high school as well.

Monday’s session at Woodrow Wilson was led by Newton Police De-partment Detective Rob Burdess, Baxter Police Chief Steve Wright, Jas-per County Sheriff ’s Of-fice Lt. Aaron Groves and Newton Fire Marshall Mike Knoll.

“Part of our goal here is to develop that mindset with you that it’s not a mat-ter of if it’s going to happen but when it’s going to hap-pen,” Groves told the WW staff. “You are going to get

the tools today to respond to an incident if a shooter or active gunman comes into this building.”

The training session was incredibly intense and began with security footage of a school shoot-ing. Groves didn’t inform the participants the video was a reenactment un-til after he posed a Q&A about the footage.

Groves and the other law enforcement officials also pointed out the mis-takes the participants in the video and most people make in cases of an active shooter.

Ardyth Pollard recalls her time as a flight attendant

Ardyth Pollard spends most of her time relaxing in her room at Park Centre these days, but the 95-year-old can still recall the times when she flew the “friendly skies” as a flight at-tendant for United Airlines.

“In the beginning it was lots of awesome fun,” Ardyth said. “Then, as time went on, more people were flying and it became kind of a hard job. But it had many nice rewards.”

“Awesome fun” is a pretty strong way to describe any job; how-ever, Ardyth ex-plained why she felt working for United lived up to that billing.

“You meet a lot of interesting people. And you help people, they are at your mercy,” she said jokingly.

During her time as a flight atten-dant, Ardyth traveled the world and lived in different parts of the country. She said she domiciled out of Chi-cago, New York and Denver and that Hawaii was her favorite place to travel.

“About 29 times,” Ardyth said on how many times she visited Hawaii. “The temperature was always right. The people are always happy, the hula dancing and the partying. I’ve been to Europe twice, England mostly.”

Ardyth spent more of her time growing up in Colfax and Newton and found out about the opportunity to become a flight attendant from some of her friends who worked for United.

“I just sent in my application and I was doing some shopping in New-ton and I called home,” she said. “My mother said, ‘You better get home, ‘cause you have to go to Chicago.’ It was hard to break from home.”

Once she arrived in Chicago, Ar-dyth recalled how things went a bit awry during the medical physical por-tion of her interview.

NPD warns of trailer theftsOver the past several weeks, the

Newton Police Department has re-ceived numerous reports of stolen utility and flatbed trailers within the city.

Trailer owners are encouraged to lock up or secure their trailers to prevent further incidents and ensure the license plate and serial number is known to assist in recovering your unit if stolen.

Anyone with knowledge of the missing trailers’ whereabouts or re-garding suspects is encouraged to con-tact the Newton Police Department at (641) 791-0850.

Obama focuses on military as government shuts down

WASHINGTON (AP) — As much of the federal government grinds to a halt, President Barack Obama is telling the U.S. military he’ll push Congress to re-open the government as soon as possible.

In his sole response early Tuesday to Congress’ failure to avert the first shut-down in nearly two decades, Obama addressed his comments in a video to American troops, rather than the law-makers he’s been scolding for weeks.

There was no reference in the three-minute video message to Republicans, whose insistence that Obama’s health care law be scaled back has been at the

center of a grueling back-and-forth be-tween the GOP-controlled House and the Democratic-led Senate.

“Unfortunately, Congress has not ful-filled its responsibility,” Obama said. “It has failed to pass a budget and, as a result, much of our government must now shut down until Congress funds it again.”

Troops in uniform in Afghanistan and elsewhere will stay on duty, Obama said, noting he’d signed a law Monday to en-sure they get their paychecks on time.

Newton DMACC student receives healthcare scholarshipSpecial to the Daily News

Des Moines Area Community College Newton Campus student Caitlin Hainley of Des Moines is one of 20 healthcare students nationwide to receive a $2,500 Frank Lanza Healthcare Scholar-ship.

Hainley, who graduated from the DMACC Newton Campus licensed practical nursing pro-gram last spring, is now enrolled in DMACC’s associate degree nursing program on the Newton campus.

The Phi Theta Kappa Honor

Society and the American Asso-ciation of Community Colleges, with the support of CAE Health-care and L-3 Communications Inc. have awarded $50,000 in scholarships to the 2013 Frank Lanza Scholars.

The Lanza Scholarship pro-gram targets part-time, full-time and international students who have completed 50 percent of their course work toward an asso-ciate degree in nursing, emergen-cy medical services or respiratory care programs offered by region-ally accredit community colleges.

Hainley, who delivered the

welcome ceremony at DMACC’s commencement ceremony on May 1, at Wells Fargo Arena, graduated from Colfax-Mingo High School in 1999. In 2005, she earned a degree in English. A year later, she and her husband moved to China, where they spent the next five years teaching and doing missions/humanitarian work.

While serving others in China, she found her purpose and decid-ed to pursue a career in the health care industry. She is pursuing her ADN with the long-term goal of earning a doctorate in nursing.

ObituariesBruce K. Fullmer

Sept. 29, 2013

Bruce K. Fullmer passed away surround-ed by family on Sunday, Sept. 29, 2013, at Skiff Medical Center under the care of Skiff Hos-pice in Newton, Iowa after a short illness. Per his request, he will be cremated and a private memorial service will be held at a later date.

Bruce was born Aug. 2, 1941, in New-ton, Iowa to Wayne and Ruby Fullmer. He graduated from the Newton Senior High School with the class of 1959 and Drake University. Following a tour of duty in the U.S. Air Force as a commis-sioned officer at Beale

Air Force Base, Cali-fornia and Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Bruce went to work at Con Agra Foods as a sales representative. His highly successful sales career included other companies such as Tyson Food, North Star Foods and Quan-tum Food.

Bruce was preceded in death by his par-ents. He will be sorely missed by his many friends and business as-sociates, many of whom

called him “Ace.” Bruce was loved by all for his kind and generous de-meanor and his bigger than life personality.

Bruce is survived by his loving wife, Nenita of Newton; his daugh-ters, Kristin Fullmer of Gainesville, Ga., Laura Duncan of Homer, Alaska, Alicia Whitak-er of Warne, N.C.; two step-children, Arturo Thomas of Illinois and Trista Bailey of Austra-lia; and 10 grandchil-dren.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contribu-tions may be directed to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105. Pence-Reese Funeral Home in Newton has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Looking Back in Newton’s History

75 Years Ago This Week — Sept. 29-Oct. 5, 1938

On Sept. 30, Prime Minister Nev-ille Chamberlain flew back to London after placing the seal on the historic Munich Pact by which agreement was reached with Reichfuehrer Adolf Hit-ler declaring “the desires of our two peoples never to go to war with one an-other again.” The German Army began its march into Czechoslovakia Oct. 1 ...

and his staff of salesmen returned from Omaha, Neb., where they attended a conference of Dodge automobile deal-ers and factory executives. Sanders re-ported that the 1939 models include many new features. Accompanying Sanders were M. S. Brunner, R. M. Ervin, Adam Brunner, Ray Schultz, Joe McMahon, and Floyd Mason ...

With the Jasper County Court-house between them, Republican and Democratic campaign headquarters were opened this week on the south and north sides of the square, respec-tively. Velma Berlau was secretary of the county GOP; the Democrats’ secretary-treasurer was Mrs. Dorothy Deal Watson.

4AOpinion

The federal government shut down this morning at 12 a.m. And much to some folks’ sur-prise, the sun rose in the east a few hours later.

Judging only from my drive to work this morn-ing, grav-ity is still w o r k i n g , too. The laws of physics are still in effect, and fabric of the space-time continuum is still intact.

The electricity is still on, at least at my house, the Daily News office, and the few places I happened upon on my drive in-between today. The water is still running, and the recycla-bles were picked up (although about a half hour before mid-night).

Phones still ring. Television stations are still broadcasting. The Internet is still adding terabytes of new information by the minute.

Kim Jong-Un is still the madman running North Korea. Bashir al-Assad still possesses chemical weapons. Iran is still progressing toward a nuclear weapons capability. Sadly.

In other words, the world is almost just as it was at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time last night.

You can blame my colleagues in the media, many of whom were parroting what they heard from politicians and govern-ment bureaucrats, for the im-plication otherwise. In fact, in my lifetime, this government shutdown is most special (so far) for the fact it took nearly half of my lifetime to happen.

This is the 17th time it has happened since I was in pre-school, meaning on average it happens once every 25 months or so. It almost happened in 2011, but if it had, it would have thrown the average off (I guess).

I’m not suggesting it’s no big deal, because it is (more on that in a moment). What I am suggesting, however, is that we will manage, because we have before.

This government shutdown is a big deal because it rep-resents a complete and utter

failure to communicate that breached every branch of the U.S. government. As a result, people who can least weather a game of political brinksman-ship are going to be stuck in the middle while those who are to blame don’t even feel the ef-fects of their failure.

Since it’s what we do in situ-ations such as this, who’s to blame? To be honest, everyone. Now let me explain.

Congress is required to pass a budget each year, from which the House prepares its spend-ing bills for concurrence by the Senate and approval by the President. The last time Congress passed a budget was in 2009; since then, the Dem-ocrat-controlled Senate has failed to approve one of its own.

As a result, the U.S. govern-ment has been funded by a se-ries of continuing resolutions, which maintain government spending at existing budgeted levels for a specific, limited, length of time. The most recent continuing resolution ended at the end of the U.S. govern-ment’s fiscal year, which was 12 a.m. Eastern Time today.

The power of the purse lies with Congress, and specifically, with the U.S. House of Repre-sentatives. However, the Presi-dent has the power to call one or both houses back into ses-sion to deal with specific legis-lation.

President Barack Obama didn’t. And, when a govern-ment shutdown is looming, one would think a leader would call upon both houses of Congress to come together and get their job accomplished.

That he did not means he has to carry a healthy dose of the blame, too.

You can’t fault the Ameri-can people for making their wishes known. But there’s been a failure to listen in the halls of Congress, by both Republicans and Democrats.

It’s been clear from almost the start that a large majority of Americans are opposed to the Affordable Care Act in its totality. However, an almost equally large number of Amer-icans seem to think the legisla-tion contains at least a few re-deeming qualities.

It also has been equally clear the American people don’t like the idea of a government shut-

down. Particularly when you think about these key facts:

• the shutdown has done nothing to stop, slow down or even impede the implementa-tion of the Affordable Care Act;

• President Obama’s pay is a mandatory expenditure that must be paid, even during the shutdown; and

• the 27th Amendment, which was meant to prevent Congress from giving itself pay raises that take effect be-fore “We the People” have had a chance to vote, also shields it from taking a loss of pay during the shutdown.

Republicans have fought tooth-and-nail for their “repeal and replace” strategy — which I’m not afraid to say I sup-port — but did so in a man-ner that forced an 11th-hour, all-or-nothing proposition on Democrats. On the other side of the aisle, Democrats contin-ue to make the 2012 Election into a referendum mandate on the Affordable Care Act, even though every poll out there suggests otherwise.

Unstoppable Force, meet Immovable Object. Stalemate. America loses.

But that’s not the end of the “blame game” in this debacle. While Americans made it clear where they stood on the issue of the Affordable Care Act and the current government shutdown, we have to shoulder a level of blame for letting it happen.

In a “government of the peo-ple, by the people, and for the people,” the buck ultimately stops with us. We voted these clowns into office without holding them accountable for their past arrogance and inabil-ity to listen to us.

Are we really that shocked it got us into this mess?

So, as my colleagues in the media move into 24-7 “shut-down panic” mode, the real question we each need to an-swer has become much more obvious. We each need to look in the mirror and ask, “What are you going to do about it?”

Joe Heller Cartoon

You know who you are.When you stand up to speak in a meeting, peo-

ple listen. When you say jump, people jump. You’re magnetic.

You’ve got energy. Panache. Power. In a word, you’re char-ismatic.

Or you will be, after you fin-ish reading this column.

Consider if you will my sad story. No one ever paid atten-tion to me, and they certainly didn’t jump when I said jump, unless it was to jump on my head.

But then, in my loser loneli-ness, I stumbled upon an article by Jeff Haden on Inc.com. The title was, 10 Habits of Remarkably Charismatic People, and let me tell you, it changed my life.

Since I am new to charisma, I’ll let Mr. Haden describe what we are trying to achieve for you. “Some people instantly make us feel important. Some people instantly make us feel special. Some people light up a room just by walking in.”

Let’s be honest here, Haden is not describing you. When you walk into a room, it not only doesn’t light up. It feels like the entire North American power grid has gone down.

(On the positive side, you do make people feel important and special, but that’s only in comparison to your sorry self.)

Fortunately, there is hope for people who need a charisma transplant. Adopt a few of the 10 habits Jeff Haden describes, and you too can be charis-matic.

To start with Habit No. 1, remarkably charismat-ic people “listen way more than they talk.” The idea here is to make the other person feel important.

That’s why you “maintain eye contact. Frown. Nod. Respond — not so much verbally, but non-verbally.”

That should be easy, since you can not only nod, but also nod off. Falling asleep in the middle of a colleague’s frantic tale of workplace woe may not seem responsive, but it could work.

Who doesn’t respect a person who can fall asleep in the middle of a major meltdown?

Remarkably charismatic people also “put their stuff away.” Apparently, connecting with others be-comes more difficult when you’re constantly texting and checking your Facebook page.

That’s why, if your basic niceness has trapped you into listening to a co-worker’s endless prob-lems, simply announce that you are super interested in their story, but first you just have to finish what you’re doing.

“I’m going to put my stuff away,” you explain. “I’ll just finish binge-watching these 13 episodes of ‘Or-ange is the New Black.’ I’m almost halfway through episode 2, so I should be ready to listen late tomor-row afternoon.”

Another charismatic attitude to model is to “shine the spotlight on others.” “No one receives enough praise,” Jeff Haden so astutely writes. “No one. Tell people they did well.”

This won’t be easy. There’s so little that goes right at your job, that if there’s ever any credit to take, you want to grab it — fast.

But that doesn’t mean that you can’t give a co-worker praise for something that went badly wrong.

“Great work, Tiffany,” you might say. “If you hadn’t completely messed up that big order, I never would have had the chance to jump in and save the day.”

If that isn’t charismatic, I don’t know what is.Remarkably charismatic people are positive peo-

ple. They “choose their words.” As Haden writes, “you don’t have to go to a meet-

ing; you get to go meet with other people. You don’t have to create a presentation for a new client; you get to share cool stuff with other people.”

See the difference? Didn’t think you would. How’s this for an example: “The boss didn’t have

to fire me; the boss jumped on the opportunity to cut out a malignant tumor in the otherwise healthy corporate corpus.”

Now that’s cool.One of the most difficult habits to emulate will

surely be the way charismatic people “don’t discuss the failings of others.” That’s right!

No more gossip. No more hiring private detec-tives to dig up dirt on your co-workers. No more hiding cameras in the boss’ bathroom.

And how will you fill the endless gossip-free hours now available to you? Well, remarkably char-ismatic people “readily admit their failures.”

That one habit should keep you busy until secu-rity comes to drag you out of your cubical and toss you onto the street.

It may seem like being summarily fired will not enhance your ability to dazzle others with your per-sonality, but look on the bright side — you’ll be the most charismatic person in line at the unemploy-ment office.

The Jasper County Veterans Memorial Commission will be constructing two new veterans’ memorials which will be

placed on the courthouse lawn. The first will serve as a memo-rial to all Jasper County vets and will be placed on the east side of

the courthouse. It will be a ten ton stone on a 15x15 pedestal and will be painted with military themed murals. The second memorial will be located on the south side of the courthouse next to the current veteran’s memorial. It will hold over 350 bricks engraved with names in honor or memory of local veterans. Any Jasper County veteran who lived in the county when they joined, lives in the county currently, or is now serving active duty is eligible to have their name placed on a brick. A copy of your DD214 or honorable discharge papers will be required along with your application. The bricks will cost $100.00 each. The bricks will hold three lines with 15 letters/spaces on each line.

(Inclusion in this project does not automatically qualify participants as veterans as defined under Iowa Code chapter 35)

Applications will be accepted until 4pm on November 8th, 2013. Due to the logistics of the process, no applications will be accepted after that.

We plan to unveil the new monuments on July 4th, 2014.

Please email [email protected] orcall Doug Bishop at 641-417-8885 with questions.

Please send completed applications along with payment and a copy of your DD214 or Honorable discharge papers to:

“The hard part is getting her out sometimes,” Beverly said. “As soon as she hears the motorcycle start up she hops right in.”

Beverly and Gene have been to every Thunder Nites since it’s incep-tion, but it wasn’t until this year that Bertha became the events official mascot.

“They just fell in love with her and this year they offered to make her their mascot,” Beverly said.

When Bertha isn’t looking tough when she’s playing mascot for Thunder nights, she hanging out at home with her parents. Beverly said

she does think of Bertha as one of her children.

“I would say she’s very laid back and just loves everybody,” Beverly said, “and everything: dogs, cats, pigs. She loves them all.”

Even though Bertha is a large dog, who could intimidate people, Beverly said her personality in large groups is just the opposite of that stereotype.

“There are the people that, be-cause of her size, they kind of back up,” Beverly said. “Some of the small-er kids to start with can be intimidat-ed by her size but as soon as they see as calm as she is then we have a hard time keeping the kids away.”

While at Thunder Nites, Bertha is often seen with painted toe nails and biker garb, but Beverly said get-ting Bertha to cooperate in these en-deavors is never a problem.

“She’s happy to represent New-ton and she just loves all the people there,” Beverly said.

“We’ve taught our students for years this lockdown (method of ) hide underneath your desk and es-sentially wait to be shot,” Groves said. “That’s what we’ve taught our students and what we’ve taught our teachers to teach our students.

“What this ALICE program does is it gives you options,” he continued. “It doesn’t make you a sitting target, and it’s going to help you save lives.”

In addition to the presentation, Wright said they do live scenarios in the building. They announce a shooter is in the building over the PA and practice the method of defend-ing against an active shooter using items in the room. For the scenario purposes, teachers used tennis balls.

The other method they used was the barricade method. This is when teachers and students barricade the entrance to the classroom to prevent and/or delay the shooter from enter-ing the room.

“You might as well figure they have enough fire power to shoot through doors if they need too. So let’s not rely on locks,” Burdess said.

“Anything you can find to put in that door. You can’t have enough stuff to throw in front of that door.

“What we are trying to do is give you a reactionary gap,” he continued. “We are trying to give you time to get out, get hidden or to get ready to fight. If he just opens the door and has free access to you and all your kids, we are not gaining anything.”

The ALICE initiative was some-thing former NCSD Superintendant Steve McDermott championed and brought to the school board at the Feb. 25. meeting. On June 5, Mc-Dermott and other school officials from Jasper County met with the counties various law enforcement agencies to work on a universal com-prehensive emergency plan.

During that meeting, Newton se-lected July 14 for the district’s ad-ministrative team undergo ALICE training. Now with each building hosting individual training sessions, the plan is seemingly coming full-circle.

“When facing danger, we must do something,” Groves said.

That GOP bill began in the House and was taken up by the Senate, reflecting a rare measure of agree-ment among Democrats and Republicans: No one wants to be blamed for the military not getting paid.

But thousands of ci-vilians who work for the Defense Department face furloughs, compounding the damage already in-flicted on the military by automatic spending cuts.

“I know this comes on top of the furloughs that many of you already endured this summer,” Obama said. “You and your families deserve bet-ter than the dysfunction we’re seeing in Congress.”

Hundreds of thousands of government workers will be off the job Tuesday after a short work period to wind down operations, but some essential services, including border patrols, air traffic controllers and Social Security benefits, will continue. Meanwhile, it was unclear how long the shutdown would last or how Congress would find a way to agree on re-

storing funding.As the shutdown ap-

proached hours earlier with Congress gridlocked, Obama called Republican and Democratic congres-sional leaders, but there was no breakthrough in the budget impasse.

Obama said a “shut-down will have a very real economic impact on real people, right away,” with hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed and veterans’ centers, na-tional parks, most of the space agency and other government operations shuttered.

He blamed House Republicans, whom he accused of seeking to tie government funding to ideological demands, “all to save face after making some impossible promises to the extreme right wing of their party.”

On Tuesday, Obama planned to meet with Americans who will en-roll in new insurance ex-changes created by his health care law; ironically, implementation of the law and the opening of the ex-changes on Tuesday will proceed despite the shut-down.

The spending fight is

a prelude to the bigger confrontation over the na-tion’s credit limit, expected to hit its $16.7 trillion cap in mid-October. Obama on Monday urged Repub-licans not to saddle the legislation to increase the debt ceiling with measures designed to undermine the health care law. He has vowed not to negoti-ate over the debt ceiling, saying that a default would be worse for the economy than a partial government shutdown.

On Wednesday, Obama is scheduled to meet with top Wall Street CEOs to discuss the state of the economy, includ-ing the debt ceiling. The meeting will be with members of the Financial Services Forum, a trade group representing the 19 biggest financial service institutions doing busi-ness in the United States, including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Citigroup. The Forum joined 250 other business organizations in a letter to Congress on Monday call-ing on lawmakers to avoid a shutdown, raise the debt ceiling and then address long-term spending issues and deficits.

ShutdownContinued from Page 1A

“They had several doctors on staff and when I was having an interview they had a distress call,” she said. “There had been a small accident over in one of the hangars. So they almost forgot me in the examining room. So that’s how I got started.”

Ardyth also re-members how strict things were for the flight attendants back then. She said she had

to meet certain weight and size requirements. While Ardyth is OK with those restrictions being lifted, she isn’t a fan of some of the in-flight changes airlines have made.

“Back then, you got a three course meal on a flight and now, you get a cup of pretzels,” she said. “United had the best chefs avail-able.”

She said she worked for United for nearly three decades and re-tired to help her par-ents, both of whom were having health is-

sues at the time.Although she had

never been on a plane before working for United, Ardyth said she never had a fear of flying or the plane crashing.

“I never worried about it at all. I flew a million miles and I got a plaque at home that say’s it,” Ardyth said. “They were a good company to work for.”

DEAR ABBY: I am writing in response to “Anonymous in Wisconsin” (Aug. 11), the cancer survivor whose husband has lost interest in her after her double mastectomy. I am OUTRAGED by his insensitivity and lack of love. She says she doesn’t want to leave him. My question to her is, why not? She deserves better.

I am a cancer survivor who was diag-nosed with breast cancer seven months after I was married. Prior to my decision to have a radical mastectomy, I offered my husband the chance to leave. (After all, one doesn’t expect “worse” to come so soon af-ter the wedding.) The prospect of children, which we had discussed and was important to us, was uncertain because of my subse-quent chemotherapy. My husband didn’t hesitate. He said, “You would not leave me. We will adopt.”

On our first wedding anniversary I was bald, and he treated me to a beautiful, ro-mantic getaway. Although I did have re-construction, it was a long process. He was supportive from day one.

Fifteen years later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer again. I had another radical mastectomy followed by chemo and recon-struction. Abby, my husband again made me feel beautiful even when I didn’t. There are men out there who define a woman not by the size of her breasts, but by the beauty of her heart. — SURVIVOR IN NATICK, MASS.

DEAR SURVIVOR: I want to thank you and the many breast cancer survivors who wrote me — and their supportive spouses — for telling me your personal sto-ries. Readers, I am printing this to remind you that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: I had to write to “Anon-ymous.” I kept hoping my husband of 20 years would change his mind and accept my new body. However, because he could not, I chose to divorce him and it liberated me.

At first, I felt that if the one person who was supposed to care couldn’t look at me, then no other man would either. I was wrong. After five years of dating, I never once encountered a man who was as insen-sitive as my husband had been. I have now found the man of my dreams.

In some respects, my “medical adven-

tures,” as I refer to them, were the best thing that ever happened. They enabled me to see my ex for who he really was, and find a man who truly IS a man. — GOT A NEW SET AND A NEW LIFE

DEAR ABBY: Breast cancer doesn’t ruin your life unless you let it.

I am 66 years old. When I was in high school, my mom had a breast removed. My parents and I just took it in stride. It didn’t define us. Dad adored her.

Mom would come in dressed up for whatever reason and ask, “Am I even?” be-cause the “falsies” then were made of foam and were lightweight. She kept the vaca-tion money pinned to it. She made a few new friends faint when she used it as a pin cushion. Dad died at 90, and Mom died the following year.

Mom could have helped “Anonymous.” She would have cut her a slice of home-made pie, poured a cup of coffee, sat down at the table and just talked to her. Women need other women. “Anonymous” should find a friend who has gone through the same thing and talk and pray. She needs both. — EARLENE IN TEXAS

DEAR ABBY: My wife went through a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, then radia-tion. During that time she went to work every day, except when she had a treatment.

Of course, I have a visual reminder of what she went through when we share an intimate moment, but she has had to deal with it every day of her life since then. When I see her scar, I think about how strong she was going through that difficult period of time. Rather than drive us apart, it has brought us closer together than I ever thought possible. — HUSBAND OF A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR

Ty Rushing/Daily News A larger than normal crowd attended the last day for the Jasper County Farmer’s Market last Tues-day. JCFM Manager Diane Martinson said she appreciates the support the market receives locally.

Farmer’s Market comes to a close

All good things must come to a close and last Tues-day, this much was true as the Jasper County Farmer’s Market in Newton closed for the year.

Held each Tuesday in the parking lot of the Centre for Arts & Artists, the market was open from June until September and had operat-ing hours of 4 to 6:30 p.m. JCFM Manager Diane Mar-tinson thought very highly of this year’s run.

“I think it was a success,” Martinson said. “Of course, we always deal with extreme heat and things like that we can’t control. But that’s the life of an outdoor market.”

As Martinson stated, weather was a factor for this year’s market. The fi rst few weeks, there wasn’t much produce available, as Jas-per County farmers battled everything from too much moisture to the drought that

is currently taking place.Despite the at-times un-

cooperative weather, there were 16 different vendors who rotated in and out of the weekly line-up. This year’s vendors sold everything from homemade jams and jellies to Iowa sweet corn. Martin-son said some of the vendors have loyal followings.

She also shared what she felt were some of the high-lights from this year.

“I would say when ei-ther a customer or a vendor fi nds a wallet, and we help track them down,” she said. “Sometimes we only have very limited information, and then you get to talking to somebody, and they go, ‘Well, I know them,’ and it keeps going on down the line (until you fi nd them).”

She added this happens about once a year, and some-times senior citizens lose their farmer’s market vouch-ers. The vouchers allow citi-zens who are older than 65 and who are low-income to

receive produce from the market for free.

Martinson said no chang-es are in store for next year’s market as of yet, but she loved the group she worked with this year.

“All the vendors are great to work with,” she said. “I don’t think people really un-derstand how hard they re-ally work to either get the vegetables picked that day or to get the pies baked that day and then to bring them here. It’s a lot of work and huge commitment to do this every single week.”

In addition to the vendors, she wanted to thank the citizens for supporting the farmer’s market every year.

“We just appreciate the fact that Newton supports the farmer’s market,” Mar-tinson said.

Iowa orchards reporting bumper apple crop

DES MOINES — Iowans are encouraged to consider visiting a local apple orchard this fall, as many growers are reporting their apples are maturing a little ahead of normal.

“While the cool, wet spring challenged many Iowa farmers, it has been near perfect weather for Iowa’s apple trees and the result is many orchards are reporting a bum-per crop,” Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said. “Taking your family to an apple orchard is a great way to enjoy the autumn weather while also providing your family with healthy, wholesome food and great memories.”

Visiting a local orchard is a great way to fi nd new variet-ies that may not be available in a grocery store.

Most orchards offer samples, so consider trying a new variety this year.

Farmers at the orchard can help recommend varieties that are ideal for baking, making apple sauce or eating fresh.

Before heading to the orchard here a number of helpful tips to make sure you get the most out of your visit:

• Check the website of the farm you will be attending as there are many fall festivals occurring that will offer heaps of fun activities and entertainment for the whole family.

• Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you aren’t afraid to get dirty.

• Bring sun gear (lotions/hats/sunglasses). • Many farms offer drinks and snacks and even lunch,

so you may want to bring along some extra money (check with the farm before going).

• Be sure and read rules of the farm and adhere to them as they are there to help keep you safe.

Secretary of Argriculture comments on Iowa crops report

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricul-tural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Harvest is starting to pick up speed with fi ve percent of both the corn and soybean crop now out of the fi eld. Early reports from farmers show yields vary widely across the state,” Northey said. “It is likely the pace of harvest will continue to increase as the warm dry weather has helped the crop dry down in the fi eld.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsGaining the lead is NCMP’s Sarah Prendergast in the fi nal lap of the 400-meter freestyle race at Monday’s home swim meet against Marshalltown. The NCMP Aquagirls swept the dual meet, winning both the varsity and junior varsity competition at the Newton YMCA.

Aquagirls swim away from Bobcats in home meet

NEWTON — Swimming the 400-meter freestyle is a challenge. The grueling individual race is contested about the middle of swim meets for Newton/Colfax-Mingo/Pella’s Aquagirls.

Up to the challenge Monday night for NCMP was freshman Sarah Pren-dergast. Sarah Prendergast stayed right with Marshalltown senior Chloe Kuchner. On the fi nal turn, Sarah Prendergast got the edge in the water, and kept it right to the touchpad.

“It’s a long event and you have to have a lot of endurance to do it (the 400) but all the training and stuff we’ve put in at practice is what helps you fi nish that race, and get it done. I just thought of all the hours of practice I put into just this one event — six fi ve-

minute swims — it just pushed me to go faster.” said Sarah Prendergast.

Sara Prendergast won the 400-me-ter freestyle race in 5 minutes, 4.70 seconds. Kuchner touched at 5:07.14.

It was a little close at the break after the teams had competed four events.

“It said something about how close it was to Grace Perrin, the senior who won the junior varsity butterfl y for the fi rst time tonight. We were up by sev-en (points) in the varsity and up by 13 in the junior varsity. Grace said, ‘that’s pretty close, but we’re best when it’s close,’” said NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson.

Perrin was right. The Aquagirls pulled away after the break. They posted a 109-61 win over Marshall-town in varsity action and the NCMP junior varsity won 107-60. NCMP re-mains undefeated at both levels in the

water this season.“Marshalltown is a good team. We

mixed it up a bit tonight, putting some girls in different events. This team has so much depth. That is why I keep pushing them. Our depth is pretty amazing,” Patterson said.

Patterson pointed to Sarah Prend-ergast and Perrin as prime examples how the NCMP swimmers are devel-oping the mental toughness to com-pete, as well as the physical toughness.

“Earlier in the season, Sarah had a couple of races where the other girl would be swimming away from her. She has worked hard, so tonight it was her night to turn the tables,” Patterson said. “Grace has come on so strong as the season progresses.”

NCMP’s varsity won 10 of the 11 races against Marshalltown. The ju-nior varsity Aquagirls claimed nine

race victories. In relay races, three re-lay teams can swim, but only two score team points.

The Aquagirl varsity won the opening relay — the 200-meter med-ley — in 2:09.31 with the foursome of Sydney Jenkins, Hannah Rhoads, Hanna Scotton and Samantha Hed-rick. Scotton anchored the 200-meter freestyle relay later to a tight win over Marshalltown.

Sara Martin, Rachel Prendergast and Carly Colville had strong legs in the relay race, staying right with the Bobcat swimmers. Scotton hit the wa-ter, and again the difference came on the fi nal turn. When Scotton touched, the Aquagirls won in 1:56.65 with Marshalltown touching in 1:57.83.

COLO — On a gusty day at Hickory Grove Park, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Colfax-Mingo sent their cross country teams to the Nevada Invitational to run with 10 other teams from across the state.

Both schools competed in the Class B side for the boys and the girls races. In the boys’ 5K varsity run, East Marshall took the top spot as a team with 43 points. BCLUW was second (94) followed by South Hamilton (125), Prai-rie Valley (126) and CMB (130). Colfax-Mingo fi nished in 11th with 313 points.

The girls ran a 4K, with South Hardin taking the top spot at 77 points, just four points ahead of second place fi nishing South Hamil-ton. East Marshall was third with 86 points. CMB (121) edged out Roland-Story for the fourth spot by one point. C-M fi nished sixth with 149 points.

For the Tigerhawks, fresh-man Dakota Hostetter con-tinued her impressive cam-

paign with a third-place fi nish of 17 minutes, 11 sec-onds. Her sister Kennedi was the second-highest fi nish-ing Tigerhawk, taking 22nd (18:30). Junior Iva Moore was only 16 seconds behind Kennedi Hostetter, fi nishing 24th. McKenzie Cogley fi n-ished 48th at 20:39. Donita Fatland was 54th with a run of 21:15, three seconds ahead of Sara Lahart, who fi nished 56th.

C-M coach Zach Tomas was extremely pleased with how the girls performed, par-ticularly Cogley’s run, which was a personal best fi nish.

“Overall, tonight was a great rebound meet from PCM last Thursday. The highlight on the girls side had to be the great run by McK-enzie Cogley — this was her highest fi nish for our team on the year,” Tomas said.

Jimmy Abell led the Tiger-hawk boys’ varsity squad with a 47th place time of 21:12.1. Chris Stuva ran a time of 23:07, placing him 65th, which was two spots ahead of junior Tigerhawk Ryan McLain (23:29.5). The three freshmen runners for C-M

— Will Dunsbergen, KC Huffman and Adam Teed — fi nished 73rd, 74th and 75th with times of 24:49.8, 25:07.4 and 25:40.2, respectively.

Huffman’s time was nearly 30 seconds faster than his previous record-best, accord-ing to Tomas.

“I was really hap-py with how the team as a whole responded after a tough meet last week and I think we had some great things hap-pen,” Tomas said. “We did not have a lot of season best times, but I really feel the kids fi nished their races strong and competed to the end. This is something we have really been stressing and it showed up tonight.”

C-M send Cassie Craig to represent the school in the junior varsity portion of the meet, fi nishing 70th 22:24.1.

CMB’s fi fth-place fi nish-ing boys were led by Colin Thomson’s eighth-place fi n-ishing time of 18:03.7. Ju-nior Mark Deutsch was 23rd (19:21.7). Freshman Cal-vin Jones was close behind,

Grow a program. Grow tradi-tion. Grow pride. Grow respect. Grow sportsmanship. Grow confi dence.It’s all connected. No one likes to lose. But in athletics there is a winner and a loser.

Those teams and schools which play hard but fair and respect each other on and off the fi eld of competi-tion are winners no matter what the score. Players, coaches and fans who play the blame game or resort to jeer-ing the other team instead of cheering their own team come out losers.

Be a winner. Reach out and help grow a program. The program you help build could be athletic or it could be the band, the art club, the forensic team, the science club.

Reaching out to grow a program starts from the top. Seniors on a team should ex-tend a hand and say “come be a part of our team. We’ll help you learn to do things correctly. Have fun.”

Be leaders. Not by yelling and pushing people around but by teaching and guiding people toward goals. Coaches are not the only ones who can teach in athletics. Teach the

right lessons and pass it forward.Grow pride, respect, confi dence

and tradition in each other and in the program. You do it and it inspires the next person to reach out.

Grow a program.To do that is not just up to the play-

ers. Coaches are the teachers in ath-letics. They too have to reach all their players and bring them into the pro-gram and show they have confi dence in the players as the players learn.

Yes, experience is important but players can’t get experience if left standing on the sidelines during prac-tices or games. Expect the best and people will give you their best.

Communication is a core product

of growing programs. Keep the lines open to all levels.

Parents and family, yes, you help grow programs also. Respect the coaches and players. You may not agree with the coaches but respect them. Grow confi dence in your chil-dren participating.

Be good examples of sportsman-ship and pride.

Fans come to CHEER for their team. There’s no need to belittle and use inappropriate language to jeer the other team and offi cials. Not good. Not good.

Have pride in yourselves as fans and in your school and community. Represent in positive ways

NEWTON — Newton’s freshmen lost 26-7 to visiting Grinnell last Friday night at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

The lone touchdown for the Cardinals was a fi ve-yard run by Reese Rosenquist in the fi rst half. Newton trailed 14-7 at halftime.

“We did not play well as a team to-night. We had a lot of mental mistakes and breakdowns on offense and defense,” said Trent Powers, Newton assistant coach. “This week we are going back to basics to correct our mistakes before next Friday.”

Rosenquist led the Cardinals with 100 yards total offense.

Zach McConnell recovered a fumble for Newton.

The freshmen are at Dallas Center-Grimes Friday.

GRINNELL — Newton’s ju-nior varsity football team expe-rienced the same pattern as the Cardinal freshmen and varsity did against Grinnell’s Tigers.

The Cardinal junior varsity played a close fi rst half Monday at Grinnell, then lost 26-6. All three NHS teams had strong fi rst halves last Friday and Monday, but couldn’t sustain that level into the second halves of the games.

Down 8-0, Newton’s JV capped a drive with a nine-yard touchdown pass from Blake An-derson to Jake Bennett at the 4:27 mark of the second quar-ter. A two-point conversion pass failed. Newton was behind 8-6 at the break.

It remained 8-6 until 7:49 left

in the game. Grinnell scored its fi rst of three quick touchdowns in a little more than fi ve minutes.

“I thought for the most part we played quite well,” said Tom Weeks, Newton assistant coach. “Brett Wolf and Duncan Lee had excellent games. Grant Da-vidison had a 61-yard punt that helped keep Grinnell away from the end zone early in the fourth quarter.”

Weeks said Grinnell con-verted third-and-long into fi rst downs several times. He said Newton had a couple penalties at critical times in the second half.

“We had an excellent chance to win. We must stop those little mental letdowns,” Weeks said.

Newton’s junior varsity hosts Dallas Center-Grimes next Monday.

Tigers defeat Cardinal JV

MAXWELL — In what Collins-Maxwell/Baxter volleyball coach Scott Ranck called a “fi ve-set thriller,” the Raiders took down the Van Meter Bull-dogs on Tuesday night.

Despite falling behind two sets to none, the Raiders picked themselves up and rallied for three straight sets to send the Bulldogs home disappointed.

“We got off to a very slow start. We just were not moving our feet, and couldn’t pass the ball. Also, our serving was not very good in the beginning. We gave them a lot of points,” Ranck said.

CMB was behind 20-18 in the third set, but the Raiders rallied for a couple points, and a kill by Payge Jurgens put them ahead 21-20.

She put down another big kill to pull ahead 22-21, and the Raiders rode the lead out for a third set win. CMB felt

the momentum switch, and the girls got out to a 19-9 lead in the next set. De-spite a late rally from the Bulldogs, the Raiders were able to hold on to force the fi fth set.

In the pivotal fi fth set, CMB went ahead 14-11, but the Bulldogs rallied back to pull within one. A service error ended the match, giving CMB its third straight victory.

“This was a great game by two very evenly matched teams,” Ranck said. “I give a lot of credit to Van Meter. They dug the ball about as well as anyone we have played so far this year, and they passed very well. They were very scrap-py. I am very proud of our girls as they withstood some adversity being down early and having a lot of our attacks dug by Van Meter. But they just kept plug-ging away and made it count when it mattered.”

Abbie Haupert (17) and Jurgens (12) led the way in kills, the only two Raiders

in double fi gures. Mackenzie Schmitz has the bulk of the CMB assists with 26. Abbey Apple-gate led the team in digs with 19. Bekah Pearson and Schmitz tied for second on the team with 11 each. Haupert followed them with 10 digs.

Haupert had a solid night defending the net with eight blocks, all solo. Alex Hiavacek had three blocks, and Jur-gens had two. Haupert had seven aces on the night, going 11-for-15 from the sevice line. Jurgens handled the major-ity of the serves, going 28-for-29 with an ace. Applegate was 16-for-21 serv-ing with two aces. Hiavacek had three aces on 8-for-11 serving. Hannah Mc-Whirter was 5-for-6 with two aces.

ARLINGTON, Tex-as (AP) — David Price, Evan Longoria and the Tampa Bay Rays are going to the playoffs again, get-ting there with a victory in their fi nal regular-season game for the second time in three years.

They needed an extra game this time.

Price threw his fourth complete game of the sea-son, Longoria hit a two-run homer and the Rays beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 in the AL wild-card tiebreaker Monday night, the 163rd game for both teams.

The Rays face an-other must-win situation Wednesday night at Cleve-land in the AL wild-card game — the winner faces Boston in the division sries.

Nelson Cruz was acti-vated for the Texas Rang-ers after completing his 50-game drug suspension. Cruz, who had 27 homers and 76 RBIs in 108 games before his suspension, was 0 for 4 with a strikeout while hitting sixth as the designated hitter.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Better Busi-ness Bureau says Cleveland Indians fans seek-ing tickets to Wednesday’s American League wild-card game against Tampa Bay should be alert to potential scams by fake ticket sellers.

Individual tickets for the game sold out shortly after the baseball team completed its tenth straight win to clinch its fi rst postseason berth since 2007.

The Indians will play Tampa Bay in Cleve-land for the chance to face Boston in the di-vision series. The Better Business Bureau says brokers and private sellers are still offering tick-ets, and excited fans eager to see the game could be easy targets for scams.

The bureau recommends checking its data-base for reputable brokers and reviews, and pur-chasing tickets through resellers associated with the original ticket seller or through websites that have secure payment processing systems.

“We work on streamlines all the time, and we’re not always at the top in streamlines. Our work showed tonight — we made the turn, stayed under the right amount of time and popped up on time,” Patterson said. “It was good to see the girls put in practice what they’ve worked on.”

Carly Colville quickly put the var-sity girls in the lead on the fi nal event of the night, the 400-meter freestyle relay. Rachel Prendergast, Scotton and Hedrick fi nished it off for a winning time of 4:18.80. The team of Martin, Sarah Prendergast, Elizabeth Myers and Jenkins was second in 4:27.72.

Carly Colville won two individual races — the 200-meter freestyle and the 100-meter freestyle. Hedrick took fi rst in the 200-meter individual med-ley race, and Sierra Griffi th won the

100-meter breaststroke.Scotton led a 1-2-3 fi nish for

NCMP in the 100-meter butterfl y, followed Martin and Myers. Jenkins got to the pool side just ahead of team-mate Hedrick to win the 100-meter backstroke.

“I was a little sore going into the race, but I knew I had to keep fi ght-ing,” Jenkins said of her win, which came after the short break in compe-tition. “Yeah, it was close at the break, so we knew we had to come back out and swim well.”

The NCMP junior varsity won the 200-meter medley and 400-meter freestyle relays. Abby Jolivette claimed victories in the 200-meter individual medley and 100-meter freestyle races.

Emily Forsyth won the 200-me-ter freestyle for the Aquagirls’ junior varsity while Kaelee Knoll was the

winner in the 50-meter freestyle. Per-rin won the 100-meter butterfl y race, and Hanna Marston took fi rst in the 100-meter backstroke. Olivia Ma-harry placed fi rst in the 100-meter breaststroke.

The Aquagirls will compete in their third meet in six days Thursday when they travel to Ankeny to take on Ankeny Centennial. The meet is at Ankeny High School, starting at 5:30 p.m.

Brees leads Saints to 38-17 victory over the Dolphins

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees made his latest claim to the moniker of Mr. Monday Night.

He also gave the Miami Dolphins another reason to regret not making a harder push to sign him when they had the chance seven years ago.

Brees passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns, and the New Or-leans Saints turned a clash of unbeat-en teams into a lopsided affair, beating Miami 38-17 on Monday night.

“I felt like we found our rhythm,” Brees said. “Every time we touched the ball, it felt like we were going to go down and score points.”

Two of Brees’ touchdowns went to Jimmy Graham for 27 and 43 yards as the tight end had at least 100 yards receiving for the third straight game.

Brees’ other scoring strikes went to Benjamin Watson and Darren Sproles, who also rushed for a touchdown.

“He plays out of this world,” Gra-ham said. “This team is so dynamic, we have so many weapons and Drew knows exactly where to go with the ball.”

Sproles’ 5-yard scoring run on the game’s opening series gave the Saints a lead they would not relinquish en route to their fi rst 4-0 start since their Super Bowl championship season of 2009. It also further accentuated what a turnaround the Saints have made since coach Sean Payton served his bounty ban last season, which New Orleans opened with four losses.

“We like this a lot better,” Brees said of the 4-0 start. “Everything that

could have gone wrong for us went wrong. Fortunately we’re having the ball bounce our way this year. We’re playing good football.”

Ryan Tannehill passed for 249 yards and a touchdown to Charles Clay, but his four turnovers on a fumble and three interceptions hurt Miami (3-1).

“We’re not happy. Obviously you don’t want to come out and perform like that,” Tannehill said. “But you look at it and there are things you can correct.”

The Saints have won their last nine Monday night games, all with Brees at quarterback and often putting on some of his most memorable perfor-mances.

There was his 307-yard, four-TD performance against Atlanta late in the 2011 season, the same game in which he broke Dan Marino’s 27-year-old record for yards passing in a season.

Earlier that same season, Brees threw for 363 yards and four scores in a 49-24 Monday night win over the New York Giants.

The Saints’ Super Bowl campaign was highlighted by Brees’ 371 yards and fi ve touchdowns in New Orleans’ stunning 38-17 rout of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Now his 10th career 400-yard out-ing has delivered a sobering blow to a Miami team that came in riding a surprising start.

“We’ll fi nd out a lot about the team we have by the way we come back to-morrow,” Miami coach Joe Philbin said.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chi-cago Cubs fi red manager Dale Sveum after fi nishing last in the NL Central for the fi rst time in seven years, ending a two-year run that produced more losses than any other in the team’s cursed history.

Sveum’s dismissal likely will

ramp up speculation surround-ing the status of Yankees manager Joe Girardi, a Peoria, Ill., native who played college ball at nearby Northwestern. Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein expects to complete the search process by early November.

In our current celebrity-centered culture, it is diffi-cult for some to understand the wisdom of this ancient Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times and attract the attention of im-portant people.” Those who understand why this is the opposite of well-wishing will be inspired by Mercury in Scorpio to shun shallow things and go deeper.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 2). Your birthday em-boldens you to call up the top people you want to know, do business with or date. You feel ready to mingle with the best of the best. Trade-shows and meet-ups will put you on a lucrative path. Your thoughtful investment in November will double by July. New alliances are formed in December. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 7, 14, 11 and 9. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your gifts cannot be shaped on the anvil of life without some kind of outside force. A skillful teacher is like a blacksmith who knows just

how much impact is neces-sary to help you transform. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In your mind, you are only doing the thing that makes the most sense con-sidering all of the variables present. In someone else’s mind, you’re amazing. Maybe genius is just com-mon sense in abundance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re a social person who likes to be alone sometimes, too. But in to-day’s case, you absolutely need to be alone in order to accomplish the very person-al mission of the day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Bring more optimism to your situation. Even 10 percent more optimism will make the difference between love and apathy, connection and loneliness, success and failure. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As you strive for mas-tery of a skill and fail often in this regard, remember to celebrate this interesting juncture. Those who have

already mastered the skill are often bored with it. You’re in a good place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In these indecisive times, some people can’t seem to decide which side of the bread to butter, or wheth-er to use margarine or mar-malade instead... They need your help. Decide for them. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Most religious philoso-phies would agree that plea-sure is not real happiness, and yet it’s hard to imagine that it doesn’t have at least something to do with hap-piness. Today you’ll debate the morality of a pleasur-able circumstance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Buddha suggested that practically every other creature on Earth was your mother in a past life. Ca-sual connections will seem charged with complexity and familiarity. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Honesty isn’t always the easiest choice, but if you are true to yourself, you

won’t be false to someone else. “Resolve to be thyself, and know that he who finds himself loses his misery.” -- Matthew Arnold CANCER (June 22-July 22). The stars place such an emphasis on doing creative and aesthetically pleasing work these days. Just now it may seem like a lot of pres-sure to live up to. Loosen up. Really, really bad art can be fun, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t gossip, and avoid the messenger role, as it’s a no-win situation. If you de-liver good news, you’ll be depended upon for more. If you deliver bad news, you’ll be forever associated with it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Very intelligent people tend to bring out the good sense in others, and thuggish types bring out their worst. You’ll make a smart and productive choice to stick to your own business and ex-pect others to do the same. COPYRIGHT 2013 CREATORS.COM
