COLFAX — As the former Colfax American Legion Post 175, Colfax resident and Army veteran Harold Hill is working to breath new life into organi-zation.

“It was dormant here,” Hill said. “We’ve lost some members and gained some members.”

The 85-year-old was post commander of the Colfax Legion for more than three years, from 2010 through 2013, when Bill Brown took over the auxiliary.

As a state-side veteran of the Ko-rean War, Hill un-derstands the impor-tance of a strong local community of service members. He began his Army career in Jan. 1951, processed through Fort Riley, Kan., then transferred to Atlantic General Depot in Forest Park, Ga. This is where the Colfax veteran would spend his two years of service until he was discharged in 1953.

Hill dabbled in a bit of everything,

working as a typist, a file clerk and a truck driver. But his most intricate duty was that of overlay drafts-man. Hill would sur-vey the layout of the land used for field ex-ercises, drafting and sketching typograph-ical maps detailing where troops would bivouac. Hill was an S3 in plans and op-erations.

After his ba-sic training, Hill’s then-fiance Wilma traveled to Geor-

gia, where they were married at the base chapel. It was an in-timate ceremony on March 10, 1951, with one couple standing at their side. Wilma’s friend, and wife of a fellow Newton ser-viceman, witnessed the affair. The couple lived in an apartment for the two years Hill was stationed in For-est Park, Ga.

“When I got off the farm (in Col-fax), I realized that there was a lot more out there, and that I probably wouldn’t be going back to farm-ing,” Hill said.

The Colfax veter-an gained a different perspective on the world after entering the military, but for Hill, patriotism was a highlight. Dressed in class A uniform, Hill would march with the other troops on the base, as a gen-eral looked on with a critical eye.

“Every weekend we used to have a pa-rade of all the post troops. We had to march. It was quite a sight really,” he said.

Hill surveyed land, tested troops during Korean War

Evaluating Your Estate Plan workshop plannedTalking about estate planning

is difficult and implementing an estate plan can be even harder. Questions often include: Who needs to be involved? What in-formation do I need to gather? When is it the right time to start? Where do I start? How do I decide what to do? The Evalu-ating Your Estate Plan program can help in the planning process.

The Evaluating Your Estate Plan workshop will be from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 18, at the Newton DMACC campus at 600 N. Second Ave. W. Registration starts at 9 a.m. The program will answer estate planning questions and helps

prepare participants to work with their estate planning team.

The presenters for the pro-gram include Kelvin Leibold and Melissa O’Rourke, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach farm and busi-ness management specialists. O’Rourke is an attorney expe-rienced in agricultural law and estate planning. Leibold joined ISU Extension in 1987 and has vast experience in working with agricultural clients in farm and business planning.

The one-day workshop will cover the language of estate planning, gift, estate and inheri-tance taxes, calculating retire-

ment costs, and many other ar-eas vital to creating a good estate plan. The workshops help those who are confused about building a plan for transferring farm as-sets or unsure what options are best for their farm operation and family.

Advance registration is re-quired as space is limited. The Evaluating Your Estate Plan workshop costs $50 per person and includes workshop materi-als and lunch.

To register, call the Jasper County Extension and Out-reach office at (641) 792-6433 for more information, or visit the Ag Decision Maker website.

NPD participating in ‘Click It or Ticket’ campaignSpecial to the Daily News

The Governor’s Traf-fic Safety Bureau is re-minding drivers Iowa law enforcement agencies, including the Newton Po-lice Department, will be participating in the Na-tional “Click or Ticket” campaign through June 1.

In an attempt to save lives and reduce seri-ous injury crashes, local, county and state enforce-ment officers will be out in force making sure ev-eryone is buckled up.

“The two seconds it takes to buckle up in-creases your odds by nearly 50 percent of surviving a crash,” said Sgt. Scott Bright, public information officer for the Iowa State Patrol. “There is nothing so simple or easy that can

make such a lifesaving difference. During 2013, there were 317 fatalities in Iowa, a record low but still too many needless deaths. We are continu-ally looking for ways to make a difference.”

Last year, during the Memorial Day holiday, Iowa had three traffic fatalities, two of which were alcohol related. During the sTEP en-forcement wave, there were 31,480 total traf-fic violations, including

12,450 speed, 2630 seat belt and 530 OWI stops.

The Governor’s Traf-fic Safety Bureau con-tinues to stress to the motoring public the im-portance of buckling up, slowing down and the need to drive sober to increase the odds of pre-venting or at least sur-viving a crash. The next sTEP enforcement event will be July 1-7.

He was transported to the Jasper County Jail. Ballard also was charged with fourth-degree theft in connection with an incident earlier that day after authorities were advised at 11:37 a.m. of a theft at Walmart. Surveillance video showed Ballard se-lected a T-shirt valued at $14.88 and a 28-inch LED IPTV for $228 and placing them in his shopping card be-fore attempting to leave the building without paying for the items. He was stopped by Walmart employees but re-fused to speak to them before leaving.

• Jason A. Hanna, 37, of Newton was charged with false imprisonment, first-degree harassment and domestic assault after authorities responded to a domestic assault at 3:24 p.m. Tues-day at a residence in the 1700 block of South Fourth Avenue East.

down by the functions, that’s one of the requirements of the state is for us to break the expenses down by function, not object. It’s how those ex-penses are categorized,” Isaac said.

The three categories Isaac is asking the board to amend are total support services, non-in-structional support services and total other expenditures.

“(Under total) support ser-vices, you get student support services, which are nursing services, guidance counselors (things) directly effecting the student,” Isaac said. “Instruc-tional staff support services, that is the LMC (library) tech-nology that is supporting the whole district.

“General administration, that is the board and superin-

tendent predominately. School building administration, ob-viously, that is the principals’ office, the principals’ secretary and their expenses. Business central and administration is self describing. That’s my of-fice, HR and the copy center.”

The maintenance budget and student transportation—getting a student to school and field trips for example — also fall under total support servic-es, and Isaac wants the board to add additional funds to that category with the amend-ment. Originally, he predicted $9,841,853 would be enough to cover that category; the amended version would bump it up to $10,366,853.

Under total other expendi-tures, Isaac needs to slightly in-crease funds from $3,195,565 to $3,245,565. Items that are funded through this category facilities acquisition and con-struction, debt service and

funding to the Area Educa-tion Agency — which is flow through money from the state.

“The last three, under total other expenses that is infra-structure repairs. Not necessar-ily just equipment — the hot water system (NCSD Main-tenance Supervisor) that Jack (Suttek), was talking about earlier tonight. That is one of those items.”

The non-instructional sup-port services fund covers the food services budget, and Isaac would like to raise it from $1,308,000 to $1,443,000.

In total, and if approved, the new budget would show both total revenues and expenditures to be $44,962,773.

In other business:• Two of the district’s Tal-

ented and Gifted or TAG teachers, Cori Latchum and Sara VanManen, will discuss “cluster grouping with the board. Cluster grouping is a

process where students are placed into classrooms based on their abilities, potential or achievements.

Memorial Day is a time to remember the men and women who have died serving our country. This special day is not the only time we should remem-ber them but the holiday underscores the impor-tance of having a time to revere and respect people who are sacred to our country. They are our heroes who are buried across America. They left home to go to hostile places and laid down their lives for us.

Take a moment and visit the grave of someone who died representing us. When you go take just a few moments and give thanks for that person who will be one of many, many thousands who have made what we have in America possible.

We take America for granted. We enjoy so much freedom, opportunity and protection. We are so far from perfect but nothing in the world is perfect.

Today, America is still making dreams come true for men and women who want to sacrifice, work a little harder than the next guy and try again af-ter failing more than once. We’ve all been knocked down a few times in life. Every time you get knocked down remember a soldier went down and never got a chance to get back up. The death of any one soldier might have been the very life sacrificed that gave you the second chance to try one more time.

Another way we can celebrate Memorial Day is

to celebrate our serving soldiers and living Veter-ans. I have two sons currently deployed serving in the Navy and the Army. I’m really proud of them. We should give thanks for all serving in our mili-tary, honor and pray for them. We should also stand by our Veterans. One of the ways we can honor our Veterans is to eliminate the majority of Veteran’s hospitals. We should all of them a National Medi-cal card that would allow them to have access to medical care by any doctor or hospital in America.

There are a lot of things Americans do on Me-morial Day weekend. We travel, grill out, go to the mall or gather with family. All of these are good. However, do at least one thing this Memorial Day weekend and that is remember, and give thanks for the soldiers who have made the travel, grilling out and family outings possible.

My Memorial Day is full of lists this year. Lists of people to visit, those I remember to honor, and events I want to preserve in pic-tures.

But one list I did not think I would see around this Memorial Day was the recent document that came from the Veterans Af-fairs Hospital in Phoenix, Ariz. It was a se-cret list produced by hospital administrators of veterans waiting for care. This list, revealed last month by whistleblowers, confirms 40 individuals died as a result of the wait time.

U.S. Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki has come under fire for his lack of knowledge re-garding the list, and VA Undersecretary Robert Petzel recently resigned due to the controversy.

Some think Petzel was a scapegoat, and others think it was a necessary departure for VA health care. One thing is clear this Me-morial Day: The political fault needs to take a backseat to the medical care of our troops, past, present and future.

Our U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-IA, has voiced his support for Mr. Shinseki in the wake of the scandal, but following the under-secretary’s resignation on May 16, released this statement:

“I have been extremely concerned about the reports that have recently come to light of alleged preventable deaths and subsequent cover up at VA health clinics,” Loebsack said. “As a parent of military children, I am in-credibly upset that this could have ever hap-pened to the men and women who honorably served our nation. We owe it to our nation’s veterans to do all we can to determine exactly what happened and we need to do it imme-diately.”

We do owe “it” to our nation’s veterans. We owe lots of “it.” We owe proper funding to care for those who are battling physical impairments from the battlefield as well as mental wounds such as post traumatic stress syndrome.

There should be no debate over available funding for our VA hospital system. There needs to be transparent processes in place to confirm hospital administrators are doing ev-erything they can to increase efficiency cost-saving measures. But if those criteria are met, then do we really need to ask “how much” to care for those who volunteered or were told to fight for the United States?

Fund the VA and ditch the list

The First Amendment

The White House has taken an irresponsible detour from the important fight against illicit drugs. In a stark departure from efforts such as the “Just Say No” campaign that raised awareness among youth about the dangers of drug use, substance abuse and addiction, the Obama adminis-tration is blowing smoke through the nation’s criminal justice and financial systems and putting the public health at risk.

President Obama has taken swipes at the na-tion’s drug control poli-cies that spell bad news for our young-est genera-tions. Ear-lier this year, the President said in an interview that smok-ing marijuana is just a “bad hab-it” and no more dangerous than drinking alcohol. This reckless point of view undermines the moral authority of the presidency and even worse, undercuts paren-tal authority in households across the country.

Parents work around-the-clock to instill strong personal values in their children so that when peer pressure comes knocking at the door, their kids will make good choices.

The President’s cavalier atti-tude also seems to undercut the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” cam-paign to promote wellness. She advocates how important it is for America’s youth to feed their minds and bodies with good, wholesome nutrition. Her efforts to trigger a national conversa-tion about childhood obesity and physical fitness are inconsistent with the President’s philosophy that marijuana is just a “bad hab-it.”

Unfortunately, the President is doing more than paying lip service to this misguided mind-set. Last August the Justice De-

partment announced it would not challenge state laws legalizing the cultivation, trafficking, sale and recreational use of marijua-na, paving the way for increased availability of the drug to young people. Moreover, the Obama administration’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (Fin-CEN), an organization with the mission of keeping the proceeds of crime out of our financial sys-tem, recently issued guidance to financial institutions intended to assist marijuana businesses with depositing money into the sys-tem. The Administration also is supporting legislation that would weaken mandatory minimum drug sentences for drug dealers and importers, a key tool used by prosecutors who say the manda-tory minimums help them keep drugs off our streets.

Let’s consider Colorado. The Department of Justice apparent-ly concluded that so long as the states that legalize marijuana for recreational use create effective regulatory regimes, federal en-forcement priorities wouldn’t be undermined. Those priorities in-clude the prevention of violence, increased use among minors, and diversion of marijuana to other states. But what is happening on the ground doesn’t reflect an ef-fective regulatory regime at all.

In fact, what is unfolding in Colorado is endangering public safety and health. On March 11, a college student jumped to his death from a Denver hotel balcony after eating a marijua-na-laced cookie that apparently caused him to hallucinate. On April 14, a Denver man shot and killed his wife while she was fran-tically calling 911 for help after he ate marijuana-laced candy that again apparently caused hallu-cinations. On April 21, a Gree-ley, Colorado, fourth grader was caught selling marijuana that he got from relatives.

Recent testimony before the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control highlights another gateway to drug addic-

tion. This one can get its start from the medicine cabinets in households across America.

Prescription painkillers may lead to opiate addiction. Specifi-cally, two widely prescribed medi-cines such as Vicodin and Oxy-Contin that are used to treat pain may put patients at risk for addic-tion or prescription drug theft. A constituent recently relayed a sit-uation in which an acquaintance paid an unannounced visit to her friend’s home after her back sur-gery. Only later did the patient realize the visitor had stolen her prescription pain medication to supply an opiate addiction. Ac-cording to the most recent Na-tional Survey on Drug Use and Health, more than two-thirds of those who abuse prescrip-tion drugs obtain them through a friend or relative for whom the drug was legally prescribed.

The Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention has classified prescription drug abuse as an epi-demic. In Iowa, deaths attribut-able to the abuse of prescription pain medication have jumped in the last decade, rising from 8 in 2003 to 52 in 2012.

In 2010, I worked with Sena-tor Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota to pass the bipartisan “Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act” to allow for communities to es-tablish “take back” programs so patients may safely dispose of old and unused medicines. In the last four years, more than 4.1 million pounds of unwanted, unused and expired prescription meds have been collected in “take back” days that occur in the spring and fall in communities across the country.

Policymakers from across the political spectrum at the very least can agree that drug addiction is bad. Prevention, treatment and law enforcement are strategic pieces of the policy puzzle that are needed to protect the public health and safety of our families and communities. Breaking away from the reckless notion that “bad habits” aren’t so bad would be a step in the right direction.

“We had a general there on the post, and he was the observer. They were always watching for ac-curacy, presentation and how sloppy some of the students were.”

Hill did some cri-tiquing of his own, giv-ing monthly physical fitness tests to students who were auditioning for paratrooper duty.

Among his other du-ties, Hill would take the aspiring airborne troops to the same pa-rade field on which he was critiqued and do an inspection of his own, testing soldiers’ speed and endurance.

“I’d see how good of shape they were in,” Hill laughed. “It was a fun thing, but a lot of them flunked out because it

was hard to reach the requirements.”

While training fel-low soldiers, Hill was going through a differ-ent type of training at home. As he was leav-ing the Army, Hill and his wife discovered they were expecting.

“When I got married it changed my whole career,” Hill said. “Of course, my wife was pregnant the month be-fore I got out of the ser-vice, and we had a little baby girl. That made a whole exercise for me.”

After leaving the Army, Hill went to work for Delavan Man-ufacturing in West Des Moines, where he was a quality control su-pervisor. The company manufactured aircraft nozzles. He worked for Delavan for 35 years, retiring in 1992.

But Hill was restless.

Following his retire-ment, the veteran re-turned to work at The Monroe Table Com-pany for five years, until his wife became ill with diabetes.

“I had to go back to work because I couldn’t stand retirement,” Hill said.

Wilma passed away in 2001, and Hill also lost one of his daugh-ters to the same disease. His remaining son and daughter still live in Colfax.

Although he has stepped down as post commander, Hill is still very active in Colfax Legion, helping plan the upcoming Memo-rial Day parade and celebration. He and other members of the auxiliary continue to gain ground, with nine of the 40 members cur-rently active.

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: My spouse and I, af-ter many long years of school, advanced degrees and work in the corporate world, are now retired. We are (we hope) finan-cially secure.

Both of us have siblings who were less successful for various reasons. What obligation do hardworking people have toward their less successful siblings, es-pecially one who has been a freeloader his entire life?

“Rusty” sponged off his aging parents to keep from having to earn a decent liv-ing. We feel sorry for him, but it’s the bed he made for himself years ago when he took shortcuts. We’re afraid if we give him a hand, he’ll expect an arm next time.

As far as I’m concerned, only Rusty’s laziness prevents him from getting a part-time job to help pay the bills. If we give him money, we’ll have to do it for the other siblings on both sides.

I know this sounds uncharitable, but we worked for 40 years and struggled through everything life had to throw at us. We saved every penny we could and invested wisely. How do we deal with family members who can take care of themselves, but don’t? — ANONY-MOUS IN AMERICA

DEAR ANONYMOUS: You decide on a case-by-case basis, unless all of your family members are like Rusty. And if they are, you sympathize, but don’t sub-sidize.

DEAR ABBY: Most of my child-hood was spent with my grandparents, who raised me until I moved out at 21. I have always regarded them as my true parents because they were always there for me.

My biological parents were also a part of my life. I would visit them on week-ends. I love them, too, and appreciate that they allowed me to have a stable childhood with my grandparents.

I am engaged to be married next sum-mer, and I need to decide who should walk me down the aisle. I’d like my

grandfather to have that honor, but I don’t want to hurt my father by not ask-ing him to do it.

What should I do when the time comes to make the decision? — NAME-LESS IN THE MIDWEST

DEAR NAMELESS: Consider ask-ing both of them to walk you down the aisle. I’m sure it would touch not only their hearts, but also those of your guests to see you honor your grandfather, who was your “weekDAY father,” as well as your dad, your “weekEND father.”

DEAR ABBY: Organized religion has caused me many difficulties through-out my life. I would like to distance my-self from it as much as possible. I con-sider myself a “religious independent.” I believe in God, but I don’t believe orga-nized religion has anything to do with God.

My question concerns my funeral. Since a funeral is an organized religious ceremony, is it possible to have one with-out clergy being present? Have you heard of anything like this, and what would you suggest? — WASHINGTON, D.C., READER

DEAR READER: Instead of a fu-neral, many people choose to have a “cel-ebration of life,” independent from reli-gion. Make sure your family and friends understand your wishes, then talk to a funeral home director and make pre-planning arrangements.

Who’s going to stop her?

When Sydney Bergman de-livers her big speech at gradua-tion Sunday, the Newton Senior High School 2014 class president wants to at least impart one tid-bit of knowledge to the audience of families, students and faculty at Maytag Park: “Never give up.”

The message of never giving up isn’t just something she’s preach-ing: It’s how she lives her life ev-eryday and why the 18-year-old is motivated to try everything and to be the best at whatever she sets her mind toward.

She didn’t develop this type of mindset overnight. An early child-hood trauma helped set her on the current course of success she has experienced as a student in the Newton Community School Dis-trict.

“When I was younger, I broke both of my hips,” Sydney said. “Through fourth, fifth and sixth grades, I was basically on the side-lines. I was not allowed to do any type of sports or any type of physi-cal activity or anything like that. So, for me, it was like, ‘Man, I missed out on this stuff.’ So, I want to have that experience. I want to be able to do what everybody else did when I couldn’t do it.”

Sydney didn’t just go for the ex-periences she missed out on as a kid, she wanted to experience and do as much as she could while in school, and her list of sports, or-ganizations, extracurriculars and scholarships back that fact up.

“Volleyball, track, drama, Thes-pian Club president, student

council, student council president, Student Athletic Advisory presi-dent, class president, homecom-ing queen, I was the school mascot for a few games, three year drum major, concert band — first chair, jazz band for four years, jazz band for four years, pep band for three years,” Sydney began as she strug-gled to list every one of her activi-ties from memory.

“I’m going to Grinnell Col-lege, (I’m) a Coca-Cola Scholar, I volunteer with the children’s com-munity theater here in town, I’ve been a member of the Newton Municipal Band for four years, I’m a special needs peer helper for the students at the high school. I was an all-state speech participant, was in speech for two years, I’ve done drama for two years, and I was an all-state academic award winner for volleyball.”

And the list goes on. Sydney is a student representative for the NHS Hall of Fame Committe — a role she also filled for the NCSD Board of Education in the past — National Honor Society and the Society of High School Scholars. She gave music lessons last sum-mer and volunteered as a puppe-teer for Progress Industries this spring when students from Berg Elementary visited for a field trip.

“I’m a very indecisive person,” she joked. “I guess that’s why I do a lot of that stuff. It is definitely hard to keep it all organized. I depend a lot on my calendar … I don’t really know how I find a way to do it. It’s kind of like in the moment when you’re like, ‘OK. I’ve got to do this for so long and (then) I’ll do this.’ Just budgeting your time for sure.”

Having a passion for both ath-letics and the arts gives Sydney a “Yin and Yang” internal-dynamic. One day, she can set-up a team-mate for a kill on the volleyball court and the next day, she could she could be starring in a play.

To be able to accomplish as much as she has, at such a young age, you have to be truly motivat-ed. If you’ve never met Sydney, the quote on front of her graduation party invitation can pretty much some her up:

“The question isn’t who is go-ing to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”

With that type of winner take all mentality, it’s no wonder Syd-ney literally can’t even remember the amount of scholarships she’s received for college. She also ad-mitted to making some sacrifices along the way, but she knows it was worth it.

“It’s been work, all four years leading up to this,” Sydney said. “A lot work has gone into it, a lot of frustration, for sure.”

Another thing that has allowed Sydney to prosper as much as she has is her family — particularly her mom, Shannon, and dad, Jim — and other members of her sup-port system.

“I’m so grateful that I’ve had all the opportunities that I’ve had,” Sydney said. “All the people in my life who’ve helped me, influenced me and pushed me, I would like to thank all of them. I don’t think I would be where I without all of those great people who I’ve had the opportunity to call friends, mentors and family — they’re great.”

Year two of ‘culture shift’ for CMB baseball

BAXTER — When Max Seeman took over Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s baseball program last season, he in-herited a team that, in his mind, didn’t even warm up properly.

There was no routine, no sense of purpose. Games of catch broke out before practice rather than a produc-tive session that loosened players’ arms and prepared them, physically and mentally, to improve.

Forget winning, something the team had only done twice in the pre-vious two seasons combined. Seeman knew before he could change the result on the scoreboard, he had to change the habits of his players.

“Before coach Seeman, it was get out there [before practice], get your arm loose by just playing catch for four, fi ve minutes,” junior pitcher Seth Balke said. “Now, we have a routine where you work your wrist, then your elbow and the rest of your arm out, just a routine to keep your arm fresh.”

Seeman enters his second season this summer as head coach of the Raiders varsity baseball team. Despite

winning only one game again last sea-son, he’s trying to continue and build upon what Balke described as a “cul-ture shift” at CMB.

“There’s certain things I like done a certain way,” said Seeman, who played college baseball at Central College. “My number one rule is to hustle, whether it’s in a game, you’re going in to your spot, you’re coming out from your spot, you got walked to fi rst base — I’m all about hustling. If you de-velop good habits there, they’ll carry over into games and hopefully lead to success.”

Success by scoreboard standards proved hard to fi nd in Seeman’s fi rst year. The Raiders fi nished last sea-son 1-22, their third straight one-win season. Lack of experience and con-sistency were a few of CMB’s pitfalls, Seeman said.

Despite not seeing an increase in wins, the new head coach saw a change in his players that should start to payoff in the near future.

Ben Schuff/Daily NewsCMB centerfi elder Taylor Ross throws the ball back into the infi eld during a practice earlier this week. CMB head coach Troy Houge, Ross and multiple other players men-tioned how much staying healthy throughout the season would benefi t the team.

BAXTER — Having a full lineup on the fi eld regularly would be a wel-comed change for Troy Houge this summer.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s head softball coach estimated Monday night that only happened three times last season, which ended with an 11-21 record for the Raiders.

CMB heads into the upcoming season at full strength, something they haven’t been for a while. Only three players played in all 32 games a year ago. Starting fi rst baseman Ab-bie Haupert played in only 16 games due to multiple injuries, including a concussion caused by a collison with catcher Abby Applegate, which side-lined both players for roughly a week.

Even those who suited up were limited, such as Mackenzie Schmitz. The junior missed the fi rst two weeks of her sophomore season while recov-ering from a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament in her right leg and then couldn’t pitch upon returning.

“Everybody has them, but it just seems like the last couple years we’ve had more than we normally have,” Houge said.

What resulted was a number of

eighth graders who saw time in varsity games last year. The Raiders had four eighth graders play in at least seven

games in 2013, including Megan Rit-ter, whose .319 batting average was second-highest on the team.

CMB is hoping this year’s under-classmen can make similar contribu-tions again as the Raiders try to fi ll the void of four senior starters gone from a year ago.

“They defi nitely come in thinking they can help us,” Haupert said of the team’s younger players. “They used to shy away, but defi nitely this year, I’ve seen more of them wanting to con-tribute. It’s one of those where I think this year their confi dence level is a lot higher than it was last year.”

Houge expressed confi dence in the team’s offense Monday night and pointed to the pitching circle and de-fense as areas that could determine how well his team fares in his 15th season as head coach.

Gone is 2013 senior Cheyanne Warne, who pitched 163 of the team’s 203 1/3 innings. The Raiders will now lean on the arms of Schmitz, who pitched roughly one-third of the team’s innings as a freshman, and freshman Heather Jessen, who pitched 40 1/3 innings as an eighth grader while compiling a 3-4 record at the varsity level.

“[Some of our success] is going to depend on what those two pitchers can do with a full season of having to

Raiders hopeful younger players continue to contribute

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsEyes up — Newton junior Sarah Kalkhoff unleashes a throw of 140 feet, 11 inches to win the 2014 Iowa Class 4A state discus championship Thursday at Drake University in Des Moines. The throw increased the NHS school record, which she already held.

Knowing he has defended his Iowa Class 2A shot put state championship, CMB senior Zach Samson goes for it on his fi nal throw of Thurs-day’s competition at Drake University in Des Moines. The result was a even better distance, 56 feet, 5 1/2 inches, to seal the victory.

CMB’s Samson defends 2A shotput title

DES MOINES — Do-ing the work pays off for Zach Samson. The Collins-Max-well/Baxter senior did some-thing in his own words “not many people do.”

Going into Thursday af-ternoon’s 2014 Iowa Class 2A shot put event, Samson did not just have the top throw in the state. He was the defending state track meet champion.

Samson and CMB team-mate Patrick Girard pushed into the eight spots of the fi -nals. Samson used his fi nal pre-liminary throw to gain the lead at 54 feet, 8 inches. Girard, a junior, was in sixth place after the preliminaries.

“I had heard the fi nal throws of the last two throwers and knew I had won it,” Samson said. “Before I went up on the last throw, I decided to have

her out in front of the field. The pressure was off of Kalkholf and on the girls chasing her on an overcast morning at Drake University.

Kalkhoff ’s throw stood up through the finals. She allowed herself a smile or two before she stepped into the throwing ring one last time.

“I’m just really happy,” Kalkhoff said winning the 2014 Iowa Class 4A State discus championship. “I love the tough competition, and to come in here as the third-best and coming out No. 1 feels so good.”

At about the same time Kalkhoff was setting the tone in the discus just outside of Drake Stadium, Newton teammate sophomore Grace Coen was setting her own school mark on the Blue Oval. Coen, who qualified for state in all three distance races, began her quest for medals in all three Thursday.

Coen collected the sixth-place medal in the 4A girls 3,000-meter race. She did so in a NHS school-

record time of 10 minutes 12.18 sec-onds. Coen runs the 800 meters and the 1,500 meters on Saturday.

Newton’s boys had just one event Thursday. The Cardinals came up short of qualifying for the finals of the Class 4A 4x110-meter shuttle hurdle relay. Juniors J.T. Thongvanh, Jarom Williams and Deonne Harris and senior Levi Michener ran the race in 59.91 seconds, finishing 13th overall. The top eight teams moved on into Saturday’s final.

Also on the track, Newton’s se-nior Amber Karsten and sophomore Sydney Jenkins were in the same pre-liminary heat of the girls’ 200-meter dash Thursday. Karsten ran the race in 26.03 seconds and Jenkins finished in 27.15 seconds, placing ninth and 21st overall, respectively.

Kalkhoff said after not throwing well in the same ring during April’s Drake Relays, her father, Dave Kalk-hoff, told her to make a vow to herself that she was not going to beaten the rest of the season. Kalkhoff finished the season undefeated and along the

way she earned a Little Hawkeye Conference championship, a district championship and a state champion-ship in the discus.

“That was my ultimate goal. To come out and accomplish it is tre-mendous,” Kalkhoff said. “This morning we went out with Coach ( John) Patterson and we threw well. Michaela Bleeker did awesome today, too. I’m so glad I could spend one last state with her.”

Michaela Bleeker, a senior, con-cluded her season with a 16th-place finish in the discus with a throw of 103’2”. The two Newton girls have had back-to-back state trips together in the event.

Bleeker competes in today’s Class 4A shot put event.

“At the moment I released it, I could tell it was going to be a pretty good throw,” Kalkhoff said of her 140’11” heave. “I didn’t know how good but I knew. I’m glad I could do it soon in the competition then I was relaxed the rest of the way. Coming in here I wanted to be relaxed and chill

and let my technique do the work.”In her third consecutive state track

meet, Kalkhoff was relaxed over her next four throws in the event. Sec-ond place went to Hope Koerperich of Dubuque-Hempstead at 134’4”. The 2013 champion, Erin Bramble of Waukee, finished fourth at 125’4”.

“I want to thank Coach Patterson and my dad for all the hard work they did with me this season. Also, my teammates have been great support-ers and I love being around them,” Kalkhoff said. “This is such an amaz-ing feeling. I took second here last year, My freshman year I didn’t place but I got the feel for it.”

Also today at the state meet, Newton’s girls will be competing in the 4A distance medley relay, the shot put, the 400-meter hurdles, the 4x200-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay. Newton’s Deonne Har-ris is the final competitor for the boys and he goes after a place in Saturday’s 110-meter high hurdles, running in preliminaries today at Drake Sta-dium.

some fun with it. I smiled a little bit at Coach (Neil Seales). He said go out a throw something big and I did.”

Samson claimed the gold medal on a throw of 56’6 1/2”. That was the ex-act same distance his brother, Danny, won a state championship in 2009.

“I just went with it as my last time throwing and just hang it out there. Coach preached all week ‘to get you one, get yourself to the finals, keep hanging it out there and get better,” Samson said after the competition. “That last one felt good when it left my hand and I could tell it was the best one of the day.”

Girard’s sixth-place throw traveld 51’4 1/2”.

“It’s not my best throw but I thought I performed pretty well here today,” Girard said. “It feels pretty good to get a medal. This is a great experience be-ing here at state and throwing at Drake University.”

Samson eclipsed his brother, Danny, as the CMB shot put record holder

this season, 58’1”. He placed third at the 2014 Drake Relays, won the Heart of Iowa Conference title and a 2A dis-trict title on his way back to the state meet.

“I have great coaches. I have some of the best coaches in the state. I’ve said that before about Coach Seals and Coach (Mike) Mullihan in coach-ing shot put and discus. They take you from the fundamentals up. You just don’t come out and throw 56 feet with-out a lot of hard work behind it.

“Winning state last year was special but this feels even better. Ending my career here with two state champion-ships is something special that not many people do.”

CMB junior Bryce Kemp captured his first state medal in the long jump Thursday. A year ago, Kemp finished ninth — one place out of the medals — in the long jump.

“I didn’t jump well today but it is an improvement and I have one more year to come back and try again,” Kemp said following taking fifth on a leap of 20 feet, 11 inches. CMB teammate

Zach Huffaker, a senior, finished 11th at 19’11’, in the event.

Kemp combined with seniors Jordan Coughenour and Austin Moorman and junior Joey Nissen to land a spot in Saturday’s final of the 2A 4x110-meter shuttle hurdle relay. The Raider four-some ran eighth in the preliminaries Thursday at 59.73 seconds.

Coughenour finished 22nd in the 400-meter dash final in 53.16 seconds. Junior Mark Deutsch placed 24th in the 3,200-meter run in 10 minutes, 58.17 seconds.

Also in Class 2A competition on the girls’ side, Prairie City-Monroe’s junior Rachel Peter ran 14th in the 3,000-meter race in 11:23.24. The PCM shuttle relay team of junior Ra-chel Gulling, senior Abbi Gilson and freshmen Kayla Jennings and Tatum Schnug finished 21st in 1:11.8, not ad-vancing to the finals.

In the 2A girls’ shot put, PCM ju-nior Grace Telfer was 16th at 34’6”, CMB sophomore Payge Jurgens was 18th at 34’5” and PCM’s Gilson placed 19th at 34’4”. Colfax-Mingo freshman Aranda Woods was 23rd in the long jump with a leap of 12’8 1/2”.

Junior Christia Veenstra of Pella Christian ran 11th in the 400-meter finals in 1:01:20. CMB sophomore Bridget Hurley placed 16th in 1:02.30 and PCM freshman Katie Vande Wall was 24th in 1:04.25.

LYNNVILLE-SULLY’s senior duo of Meliek Meyer and Bailee Samson dashed into the finals of the 100 meters and the 200 meters in Class 1A. Meyer posted the top qualifying time in the 100 at 10.96 seconds and Samson was seventh in the preliminary at 11.50. In the 200-meter preliminaries Thursday, Meyer ran second in 22.51 and Sam-son was fourth in 22.77.

Meyer and Samson run in the finals of those two sprints on Saturday at Drake Stadium.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls earned the eighth-place medal in the 1A 4x800-meter relay race Thursday, posting a time of 10:13.91. Members of the team were senior Tara Vos, juniors Cori Rice and Madison Rasmusson and sopho-more Kasiah Ehresman.

Rasmusson turned around and ran the 400-meter dash finals, placing 17th in 1:03.01. Senior Alexa Vander Leest ran 18th in the 1A girls’ 3,000 meters in 11:28.58.

The Hawk boys’ 4x110-meter shut-tle relay team of seniors Darin Hofer and Caden Doll, sophomore Noah Engle and freshman Caden Dunsber-gen did not advance to the finals. The Hawks were 10th in the preliminaries at 1:02.15.

For Prairie City-Monroe head baseball coach Shaun Hudnut, the upcoming season is all about “taking the next step.”

The Mustangs return roughly two-thirds of their starting position players from a team that earned a first-round bye in districts last year.

Despite that, Hudnut knows there are a few holes his squad will have to sure up to at least re-peat, if not improve upon, last season’s success.

“The good thing is we have a lot of guys com-ing back with experience,” he said. “Even guys who were part time starters — we’ve got two se-niors who were part time starters and started 15, 20 games [and] we’ve got another junior outfielder who started about 15 games — it’s a matter of those guys taking the next step and being a little more consistent at the plate for us.”

At the plate is where Hudnut feels his team could use the most help this season. The Mus-tangs lost three seniors from a year ago — Ethan Kain, Nathan VandeWall and Alex DeWitte — who were significant contributors throughout their high school careers. All three players batted close to or above .350 as seniors and were among the team’s leaders in every offensive statistical cat-egory.

“They were clutch hitters for us,” current senior Glen Gillispie said. “We really relied on them a lot. It’s going to be tough to replace them, but I think we can.”

Hudnut’s confidence in being able to replace those three players in the batting order stems from having returners who played last year as under-classmen and now have a year’s worth of experi-ence to bring to the field.

PCM’s fifth-year head coach mentioned four players in particular — junior Trey Lindsay, soph-omore Clay Cooper, junior Chase Keuning and se-nior Zach Uhlenhopp — who he envisions filling in and becoming the team’s middle-of-the-order hitters.

Cooper delivered an impressive freshman sea-son for the Mustangs, hitting .353 and posting an on-base percentage of .417. He tied VandeWall for the team’s third-highest RBI total at 17.

“It’s a concern, but it’s something that we feel like we have enough guys that we can figure out the right balance that we need,” Hudnut said of replacing last year’s seniors. “It’s important to find the offense to replace those guys. Like I said, we

got guys that are coming back, and we just need to take the next step.”

Gillispie, Uhlenhopp and fellow senior Troy Vittetoe all agreed their team’s strength heading into the season is its defense.

Hudnut said the team returns seven start-ers from its 2013 lineup, which should help pro-vide consistent defense as the team adjusts to life without one of its top pitchers from the past few seasons in DeWitte. The right-hander held oppo-nents to a .228 batting average last season.

“We’re pretty happy with what we have,” Hud-nut said. “It’s just a matter of working and pro-gressing and developing those guys that need to step up and take a little bigger role.”

get after it and pitch,” Houge said. “Having a full year without pitching, how is [Schmitz] going to stack up and how is Heather going to stack up with a full year grind of high school varsity soft-ball?”

“I think it’s going to be how our defense gels as the year goes on. If the defense gels well, then I think we’ve got a shot to do pretty well.”

CMB is only four years removed from the soft-ball program’s lone conference championship won in 2010. The Raiders won 23 games that year, a school record.

Since then, CMB has won 32 games over the last three seasons combined.

Houge is hopeful that, if healthy, this year’s team can be more successful.

“With this group, I think we’re getting back to where we want to be,” Houge said. “After a couple of years where we’ve struggled a little bit, we’re getting back to where we want to be, and I think we’ve got a shot to be a pretty good team, maybe get back on the winning side of things this year and start getting some success out here.”

were at the beginning of last year. You can tell that they want to be out here and they want to win, they want to get better. You can just tell that by the way they practice,” Seeman said. “That wasn’t necessarily the case when we started last year. I had to teach them how I wanted things done. This year, they have an idea of that so we can work on the more important aspects.”

In addition to scoring more runs — CMB scored three runs or less in 20 of its 23 games last year — Seeman and Balke both mentioned limit-ing opponents’ ‘big inning’ as another improve-ment they hope to make during the upcoming season.

Such occurrences cost the Raiders multiple wins last year. On June 5, CMB was tied with North Polk, 2-2, going into the bottom of the fi fth before allowing North Polk seven runs in the inning and losing, 13-2. Eight days later, the Raiders led Gilbert, 9-1, late before Gilbert erupted for 12 runs in the sixth inning and even-tually beat CMB, 13-9.

In total, CMB opponents scored fi ve or more runs in one inning in 10 games a year ago.

“ ... We’ll have one inning where we give up four or fi ve runs and we just never recover,” Bal-ke said, describing such instances as the team’s “Achilles heel” in recent years.

Asked what he thought would be a successful season this summer, Balke referenced the consis-tency his coach mentioned that was lacking last year.

“A couple years ago, it was, we’re bad and we’re frustrated about that,” Balke said, “and then last year, it was frustrating that we weren’t executing when we know we can. It’s just putting it together for seven innings.”

For Seeman, continued player development sits high atop his priority list for the season. Increas-ing the team’s win total to fi ve to eight wins is another measuring stick of success he mentioned.

“And if we get more than that, that’s awesome, great,” Seeman said. “If I see individual growth in each guy, that’s huge.”

ANKENY — Newton girls’ tennis coach Erick Zehr described Thurs-day’s regional tennis meet for the Cardinals as “bittersweet”.

Newton had an entry in three of the four semifi nal matches — as many entries as any team at the re-gional meet — but the Cardinals lost all three semifi nals matches, prevent-ing any of the players from qualifying for the state meet.

“We had lots of ups and downs throughout the day,” Zehr said. “Looking at sending anywhere from 0 to 5 players to state [and] everyone came up just short.”

All three of Newton’s semifi nal entries lost in straight sets. Newton’s Maria Valbuena, who was seeded third at the tournament (the top four seeds receive fi rst-round byes), lost to Roosevelt’s Shivani Kumaresan, 3-6, 5-7.

Valbuena beat Ankeny Centen-nial’s Kayla Peterson in the quarterfi -nals, 6-3, 6-2, to advance to the semis.

“The two played a fantastic match,” Zehr said of Valbuena’s semifi nal match. “Very competitive and played at a very high level. Long rallies, lots of power, spin and angles from the baseline. Kumaresan played with more spin and precision, and Maria played with more power. In the end, Kumaresan was just too tough...”

Newton’s doubles team of Monica

and Kayla Corso played what Zehr described as “amazing” in the quarter-fi nals and beat Ankeny, 6-3, 3-6, 6-0.

“Their opponents were very good, and played with lots of spin and power, but Monica and Kayla played amazing,” Zehr said. “Their ground strokes did a great job of passing the net players, and they were lights out at the net.

The Corso’s run ended in the next round, however, as they lost to Des Moines Roosevelt’s Mary Hill and Meera Prasad, 0-6, 2-6.

The Cardinals’ other doubles duo of Jennifer Ventling and Holly Vander Pol beat Roosevelt’s second doubles team, 6-3, 6-4 in the quarterfi nals. Then in the semifi nals, Ventling and Vander Pol lost to Norwalk’s Sam and Sarah Roemer, 0-6, 2-6. Zehr said a couple of “contentious line call dis-putes” distracted Ventling and Vander Pol and “took away from the quality of the match.”

McKenna Heisdorffer, Newton’s other singles player who competed at regionals, was the only Cardinal who didn’t earn a seed. She played Anke-ny’s Peri Benna in the opening round and lost in straight sets.

“[Heisdorffer] fought hard,” Zehr said, “but her opponent played well and made many more shots than I was expecting.

“We defi nitely step up a signifi -cant level in competition, but every-one played well today and just barely didn’t get a chance to play at state.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Anthony Rizzo was back in San Diego, so he hit the beach.

Rizzo hit a go-ahead, two-run home run into the sandy play area beyond the fence in right-center at Petco Park against his old team and the Chicago Cubs beat the punch-less San Diego Padres 5-1 Thursday night. Rizzo’s shot helped back Jake Arrieta, who pitched six strong in-nings.

The left-handed Rizzo put the Cubs ahead 2-1 in the fourth with a 417-foot homer to center on a 3-1 fastball from lefty Eric Stults. It was his eighth.

“If you hit a ball well, if you get it, you’re going to get it here,” said Rizzo, who made his big league de-but with San Diego in 2011. “But it’s nice not having to take batting practice here every day.”

Rizzo hit just .141 with one homer and nine RBIs in two stints with the Padres in 2011 before be-ing traded to the Cubs in the deal that sent right-hander Andrew Cashner to San Diego.

Rizzo is hitting .275 this season.“That ball went to the beach,”

said Cubs fi rst-year manager Rick Renteria, who spent the past six sea-sons on San Diego’s coaching staff.

Stults said Rizzo homered on a fastball down the middle.

“If I execute the pitch down and away, the worse thing is he probably hits a single,” Stults said. “But it was 3-1, nobody out, and I didn’t want

to put him on base.”Arrieta (1-0) held San Diego to

one run and four hits, struck out seven and walked one. He was ac-tivated May 3 after beginning the season on the disabled list with tightness in his right shoulder. He lowered his ERA to 2.33. Carlos Villanueva pitched the fi nal three innings for his fi rst save this season.

“Jake did a nice job,” Renteria said. “He pushed himself through six and allowed us to get to Villa and he did the rest.”

San Diego lost its fourth straight game. It was the 15th time in 48 games the Padres scored one or no runs. The Padres were shut out for the eighth time — most in the ma-jors — on Wednesday night, losing 2-0 to Minnesota.

Junior Lake was aboard on a bunt single down the third-base line, the Cubs’ fi rst hit of the night off Stults.

The Cubs chased Stults in the fi fth with three runs and four hits. Nate Schierholtz hit a leadoff dou-ble and scored on Darwin Barney’s single to center. Arrieta sacrifi ced Barney, who scored on Emilio Bon-ifacio’s single to right. Lake doubled over center fi elder Cameron May-bin’s head to bring in Bonifacio.

San Diego’s only run came on Seth Smith’s two-out homer to right in the fi rst, his team-leading sixth.

Stults (2-5) gave up fi ve runs and six hits in 4 2-3 innings, struck out four and walked none.

The Prairie City City Council will address the parking situation on Plainsmen Road dur-ing its Thursday, Feb. 6, meeting after having passed the first reading of an ordinance to allow for a loading and unload-ing zone next to Prairie City Elementary School.

City staff and council-ors are hoping for public input on the process at the meeting, and com-munity members have

been encouraged to at-tend with questions and concerns via the city’s social media.

The ordinance, draft-ed off of what is current-ly in use in Des Moines, would create a specific School Passenger Park-ing Zone, which would allow for parking be-tween 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days only for the purpose of loading or unloading school pas-sengers.

As a high school junior, a wide-eyed, 16-year-old Nancy Hoen went to work for the first time in the Jasper County Re-corder’s Office to work a sum-mer job.

It’s hard to imagine that girl, who grew up to become Jasper County Recorder Nancy Parrott

would be looking back this week upon a career in that very same office that has spanned more than 40 years. She announced publicly Thursday morning this will be her last year leading the office she transformed.

“County government has played such a wonderful part of my life, and I will never forget the many friends that I have made,” she said. “I look

forward to spending more time with family, including my ten grandchildren, and will stay connected to local government through my husband, Dennis.”

Dennis Parrott currently serves as Jasper County Audi-tor. He was re-elected in 2012.

Nancy Parrott has served as

A 28E agreement be-tween the city and the PCM school district has been approved by both entities, and now the de-sign process will move forward on a joint waste-water management proj-ect between the entities.

The hope is that the project, a new filtration and drainage system be-ing put in alongside the athletic complex in Prai-rie City, will help drain

the water out of the area more efficiently than in the past while also fil-tering the water through natural vegetation.

The project is esti-mated to cost around $245,000, which will be paid by the city. The funds will be coming from a State Revolving Fund loan the city had previously taken out for its new wastewater treat-ment plant.

Mud Pies and Sassa-fras Tea Antiques in Prai-rie City has expanded its hours, as well as its of-ferings, and it’s holding a sale this weekend, just in time for last-minute Val-entine’s Day shoppers.

The sisters and co-owners, Becky Horner and Linda Dorr, have been busy over the past several weeks, posting a slew of notices to their Facebook as they’ve picked estate sales, pur-chased collections and

bought a range of mis-cellaneous pieces.

The new acquisi-tions come along with the announcement of their new official hours. While they were previ-ously open about once or twice a month on the weekends, now they are setting down firm and official hours for the second Saturday of each month when they’ll open the show from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m.

“That’s a big change for us. We had a lot of people calling and asking when we were open, and

we wanted to have con-sistency,” owner Horner said. “We’ll probably also open an additional weekend if Prairie City is doing something or it makes sense for a sale.”

They have also begun opening a few items for rental, primarily for wed-dings. In a recent picking session, they acquired a pair of white iron can-delabra and blue-tinted Ball glass jars which will be their initial rental of-ferings.

NewsPrairie City

Matthew Nosco/Prairie City NewsDespite harsh storms and adverse weather conditions, more than 300 voters turned out during a Tues-day election in the Prairie City-Monroe School District to vote on the adoption of a new revenue purpose statement. The statement was passed by wide margin, with 249 voting in favor of its adoption while 56 voted against. Check next week’s Prairie City News for additional information on the election, and what its results will mean for the district.

File Photo/Prairie City NewsSisters Becky Horner and Linda Dorr, co-owners of Prairie City’s Mud Pies and Sas-safras Tea Antiques, have been bringing in a number of new offerings to the store recently.

Newton Daily News Jasper County Advertiser newtondailynews.com

Astrograph

It’s a split-toned day. The Pisces moon rules first, moving our minds and hearts in waves. Self-expression and connec-tion will be the focus as we try to figure out the underlying emotions of each development. “Why” will be more im-portant than “what” early in the day, until the high-energy, action-oriented Aries moon changes all of that.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 23). Your habit of finding the good in people will bring about a surprise in June, a very social and exciting month. The end of a job comes in July, and you’ll use what you learned to start a new venture. Be ready to change paddles midstream and adapt accordingly. August and November bring lots of activity for your love life. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 22, 40, 17 and 11.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Personal trainers instruct their clients to keep working a muscle until they “feel the burn.”

You’ll feel the burn in some way today and should interpret the feel-ing as a sign that you’re getting healthier and stronger.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll apply tips and inside information strategically because you are hungry to make a change. Those who know what they are supposed to do but don’t act will be inspired and motivated by you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In some key way, you are different from the other people in the room. You will use this to your ad-vantage. Your differences will give you a competi-tive edge as long as you see them as assets.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Once you quiet your mind, you’ll be extreme-ly intuitive. Pay attention to the nuances of this afternoon’s situation. Your success will depend on your ability to read the room correctly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Interpret the prob-lems you encounter as

feedback to help you improve. Nothing is a failure unless you choose to see it that way. Your friends are as much a source of help as your rivals are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are a skilled and powerful player in to-day’s game. You will lead in such a way that people barely feel the force of it. You’ll gently guide the action and gain support from many sides.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A scene will improve when a non-threatening and encouraging person steps in to help. You will play the role for someone else later, but right now it’s your turn to graciously receive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Get the job done.For now, don’t worry about getting it done “just right.” The big picture is what will count to most of the people in today’s audience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you

know the rules very, very well, you can break them. Until then, you’ll enjoy learning all you can about the way things work and abiding by the established laws and boundaries.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s something you did in the past that worked well for you that you’ve since stopped doing. It’s time to pick up that skill, habit or tool again, because it will be even more effective this time around.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Presentation will count big-time. Whether you are bringing your ideas to one person or a large group, your level of success will depend on your ability to communi-cate them well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll encounter a discriminatory and unfair arrangement. You are the perfect person to turn the situation around, though! This one will take time. For now, gather the facts.
