State attempts to prove both killer, Supino ambidextrous By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News WATERLOO — Jasper County prosecutors continued their attempt to provide a solid link between the killer of Steven Fisher and Melisa Gregory at the former Copper Dol- lar Ranch in 1983 and defendant Theresa “Terri” Supino.

State attempts to prove both killer, Supino ambidextrous
By Mike MendenhallNewton Daily News
WATERLOO — Jasper County prosecutors continued their attempt to provide a solid link between the killer of Steven Fisher and Melisa Gregory at the former Copper Dol-lar Ranch in 1983 and defendant Theresa “Terri” Supino.

Newton High School speech team coach Niki Hively admits many people don’t know how the team competes, or what compe-titions are like. If the recent suc-cess of the team continues, that knowledge gap might close.
“A lot of people don’t really know much at all when it comes to what speech is really about,” Hively said. “Some think we sim-ply stand still and make speeches at a podium. That’s why when we try to recruit new students, we ask ‘Do you like to sing? Do you like to dance? Come join us.’”
Apparently, some extremely talented students have joined the
team in recent years — and some are talented actors, TV anchors and film producers. For the first time in recent memory, all 17 members of the Newton group that traveled to a Jan. 24 district competition in Montezuma ad-vanced to this weekend’s state competition in at least one event.
The Large Group State Com-petition for southeast Iowa is set for Saturday at Washington High School in Cedar Rapids. Some of the top performers at state ad-vance to the Large Group State Speech Festival, set for Feb. 21 at Iowa State University in Ames.
The radio broadcast team made it to the all-state festival in both 2012-13 and 2013-14. After Large Group’s state events,
individual speech competition gets under way. Individual dis-tricts are Feb. 28, with the indi-vidual state competition set for March 14.
Hively, who is also the school’s journalism teacher, took over as the speech coach this school year after having been a volun-teer in 2013-14. She’s assisted by coach Will Edgar, a Berg Middle School music teacher. Each stu-dent is allowed to participate in as many as two events.
Hively seems pleased with the team’s impressive performance at districts — especially consider-ing there were two events that were new to Newton students.

The Newton Daily News recently spoke with first-graders at Thomas Jefferson Elementary and asked:
What is a groundhog, and why are they in the news?
MorrisonHawkins
“A thing that doesn’t like to see its shadow, and if it does, there is six more weeks of win-ter.”
JessNeer
“It’s an animal that lives under-ground. If it sees its shadow, six more weeks of winter.”
BrileaMoffitt
“Sometimes it’s called a ‘whistle pig.’ Every winter, it pops up and looks for its shadow, and if it sees it, six more weeks of winter.”
NickThomason
“It’s an ani-mal that lives un-derground. On Groundhog Day, it might see its shad-ow, or it might not. Some people want more winter, and some want spring.”

The witness continued her testimony be describing what she saw when she ran from her house down to the murder scene on the CDR.
“I could see Steve laying on the ground. He had a pair of blue jeans on, and he was bare-foot. But I thought he had on a brown...” she said while trailing off. “You know, this is something I’ve tried to forget for so long. I thought he had a brown shirt on. But I knew from that moment on that this was a scene I’d never be able to take off my mind ... His head was gone.”
“You indicated earlier that you thought Mr. Fisher was wearing a brown shirt,” First Assistant County Attorney Scott Nichol-son said.
“It was blood,” Ham replied.The defendant’s daughter,
Casey Supino, and son, Rocky Supino, were present in the courtroom Thursday, and she laughed and conversed with her family prior to the beginning of court proceedings.
Defense attorneys hoped to discredit the integrity of the crime scene’s preservation, pressing state’s witness Daugherty-Eaton about a lapse in documentation when the former DCI agent ad-
mitted funeral home personnel moved objects as they removed Gregory from the trailer. The witness indicated that it was she and her partner — retired DCI criminologist Wayne Eaton’s — responsibility to safeguard the crime scene.
Fisher’s close friend, James Christensen, testified Thursday about an argument between the male victim, Terri and her broth-er Carlo Supino surrounding child visitation two weeks prior to the murders.
Outside the jury’s view, pros-ecutors offered the court photo-graphic evidence Thursday in an attempt to corroborate witness Linda Snedeker, wife of former CDR owner Hal Snedeker, tes-timony that Supino allegedly pulled Fisher down a gravel drive with a car, his hand stuck in the window the year leading to the murder. The incident left Fisher in a cast and sling.
The photograph did not depict the incident, but shows Fisher raking leaves allegedly on the day of Fisher and Supino’s fight. Co-defense counsel Jill Eimermann questioned not only the authenticity of the February 1982 date of the photo, due to the unusually warm weather de-picted in the image, but disputed Linda Snedeker’s reasoning for not presenting the image in the 32 years prior to the trial.
Testimony between Linda Snedeker and Ham also ap-peared contradictory. The former CDR neighbor said she observed Fisher in a sling two weeks prior to the murders while the for-mer ranch co-owner testified the disputed argument resulting in Fisher’s arm injury happened nearly a year prior to March 1983.
The state is attempting to es-tablish a pattern of violent behav-ior from Supino toward Fisher. Eimermann argued the state did not provide a specific link from the photo to the alleged incident.
During cross examination, Eimermann referenced a 2008
interview Linda Snedeker con-ducted with then-Chief Sheriff ’s Deputy John Halferty. The tran-script quotes her as hearing about the violent episode between Su-pino and Fisher, and not an eye-witness as she testified Thursday.
Before Eimermann at-tempted to find discrepancies in Linda Snedeker’s testimony, due to what appeared to be chang-ing statements over the years, the former CDR co-owner recalled three phone conversations she had with Terri Supino — two the night of the murders and one after the bodies were found. In the second call at 9 p.m. March 2, the witnesses said Terri Supino
appeared “frantic.” But the phone call Linda Snedeker received from the defendant March 3, was “weird,” she said. Supino alleged-ly asked how Fisher and Gregory were killed. According to Linda Snedeker, the defendant asked if they were shot or overdosed on drugs.
“The conversation just kind of ended with her turning to what sounded like her brother, and she said ‘I better get an attorney because they’re going to blame me,’” Linda Snedeker said.
Eimermann ended her cross examination asking the witness if she felt like her husband, Hal Snedeker, was unfairly accused of Gregory and Fisher’s murders. She answered, “Yes.”
Iowa 5th District Court Judge Terry Rickers addressed both parties outside of jurors’ view Thursday during an atypical mo-ment for a jury trial. Two jurors submitted written questions, un-solicited, to the judge — one ask-ing when the doctor set Fisher’s bone while the other asked why the case wasn’t tried 30 years ago. The judge explained to the jury as a group that it is up to the de-fense and prosecution what in-formation they present in their case, and — by procedure — he could not answer their questions.

as a 5-through-8 complex.The board voted at its Jan.
12 meeting to pursue a bond issue for a re-build of the aging Berg Complex on the same site. Potential collaboration and reconfiguration are on Monday’s agenda as a discus-sion-only item.
The item is listed directly after the Berg action item, which would allow the board to discuss K-4 reconfiguration and collaboration as possible changes based on the Berg 5-8 re-structuring, if approved. There are no timelines listed on the agenda, but earlier mentions of possible recon-figuration referred to the start
of the 2016-17 school year.The board spent nearly two
hours of Tuesday’s work ses-sion on reconfiguration.
President Sheri Benson asked the board if there was a general consensus that Berg should be a 5-through-8 fa-cility. More than one board member said yes, the model is acceptable, while no one clearly stated any opposition to re-structuring Berg.
An open forum is a part of Monday’s agenda.
Another action item on the agenda is a consideration to set a public hearing date for a fiber-optics network, that would replace the district’s current system. The proposed date and time are Feb. 23 at 6:45 p.m. at Aurora Heights Elementary School.
Aurora Heights will also be the site of the board’s Feb. 23 regular meeting.
One of the discussion-on-ly items listed on Monday’s agenda is the use of a collec-tion agency for past-due food service accounts.
There are no weather-re-lated items on the agenda, but the cancellation of school on Monday might lead to an up-coming change in the planned date of May 28 for the final day of the school year. The district is already having to use Presidents Day — Monday, Feb. 16 — as a regular school day to make up for an early-January cancellation.

according to his qualifications and scores. He was hired and had his first day in July 2014.
“I was sure that this was were I wanted to be. I had build rela-tionships here with everybody in the office. I was sure that this was where I wanted to end up even if that’s where I didn’t get my first job,” Engle said.
Although he had a fair amount of exposure through the reserve program, his first day was one he will not forget.
“It was an interesting first day. I started the day of the tornado that hit east of town,” Engle said. “It was an interesting way to start.”
Engle entered training at the
Iowa Law Enforcement Acad-emy in Sept., graduating in Dec. The training was full-time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days a week for 14 weeks and was a mix of class-room and hands on training. Af-ter graduating, Engle returned to the sheriff ’s office ready to begin work and set goals for his future.
“I’m looking forward for the opportunities for training,” Engle said. “Eventually I should hope-fully be able to have an opportu-nity to join the Emergency Re-sponse Team. It would be kind of cool to be a part of that. It would be additional training and expe-rience that would make me that much more of a well-rounded deputy.”

Dennis Magee/Waterloo-Cedar Falls CourierFormer Copper Dollar Ranch co-owner and state’s witness Linda Snedenker goes over past a past deposition on the stand Thursday with co-defense counsel Jill Eimermann at the Black Hawk County Courthouse in Waterloo.
This week, Major General Timothy Orr, the Adjutant Gen-eral of the Iowa National Guard gave the annual “Condition of the Guard” address to a special joint session of the Iowa Legisla-ture. Iowa is the only state in the union with this annual tradition. I think more states should follow our lead. It’s a good way to get all legisla-tors moving in the right direction to support our citizen soldiers and veterans.
I was particularly interested in the portion of General Orr’s speech concerning Home Base Iowa. This program connects vet-erans with local employers, espe-cially Main Street businesses. The Home Base Iowa initiative des-ignates communities as centers of opportunity for military veter-ans and further highlights Iowa’s statewide commitment to veter-ans and their employers. There is a growing list of Home Base Iowa Communities who have commit-ted to rolling out the red carpet and welcoming military members and their families whether they are returning or new Iowans.
For several years, I’ve worked in a bi-partisan manner with fel-low legislators, Governor Brans-tad, and former Congressman Boswell to help establish Home Base Iowa. Now, I want to start a
local effort to secure Home Base Iowa designation for at least one Jasper County community.
Here are three impor-tant reasons we need to work together to get this done; First, in Jasper County, we proud-ly support our veterans. Securing a Home Base Iowa designation will help new veterans move from deployment to employment while providing a needed boost to our local economy.
Second, a skilled work-force, attracts employers. Why are more Iowa companies interested in hir-ing veterans? They value their discipline, can-do attitude and team-building expertise — the very qualities companies wish for in every employee.
And third, we’ve had a stag-nant population for decades. We could attract some new families and homeowners if we secure a Home Base Iowa designation in Jasper County. With record num-bers of military members leav-ing the service over the next five years, the influx of workers into the job market is huge. This is a great way to let these new veter-ans entering the job market know our communities are great places to live, work, play and raise a fam-ily. They would be welcomed and appreciated here.
It’s critical we pursue this op-portunity. I am working to build a local team of community, veteran, and business leaders to pursue a Home Base Iowa designation for, at least, one Jasper County com-munity. If you’d like to help, or
have ideas and talents you’d like to share, please contact me. We have some very dedicated veteran lead-ers in Jasper County, and I ask for your help with this effort.
It’s worth noting that General Orr mentioned a fellow New-ton High School alumnus, Brent Black, in his address. Black is now a resident of Ankeny, the first community awarded the Home Base Iowa designation.
General Orr stated, “The Brent Black family from Ankeny is a perfect example of what this program was designed to achieve. After growing up in Iowa and graduating from Newton High School, Brent enlisted in the U.S. Navy for six years, serving as a sonar technician. After finishing his enlistment contract, Brent left the Navy and eventually returned to Iowa with his spouse, Paula, and their young daughter, So-phia. Through Home Base Iowa, Brent was able to acquire civilian employment with Hy-Vee, where he’s the supply chain security manager.”
According to General Orr, “Brent is just one of more than 1,000 veterans who have used Home Base Iowa to achieve their dreams in Iowa.”
There’s many more to come, if we work together. Jasper County’s comeback belongs to all of us.

In the early ‘90s, I used to perm my hair into spring coils and wore p a d d e d shoulders that gave me the w i n g -span of a whooper swan, but I thought my big-g e s t problem was my 5 - y e a r -old daughter’s occasional bed-wetting.
So off I went to the pediatrician’s office to unravel my woes.
Before we chatted, a kind nurse escorted my daughter to join kids in the supervised playroom, where no one had to worry about exposure to preventable childhood diseases. This column isn’t about our recent measles outbreak or those Republican presi-dential hopefuls claiming that vaccinations should be left to parental choice. But I can’t stop thinking about the potential dam-age should this political pandering to the willful-ly uninformed become an epidemic.
On that day, my daughter’s pediatri-cian leaned in and nod-ded thoughtfully as I rambled on about how upsetting it was that my daughter kept waking up in sodden bedclothes. “It makes her cry,” I said, dabbing at tears.
The good doctor smiled. “Easy solution,” he said. “Just have her wear Pull-Ups at night.”
I gasped. “Diapers? She’s 5.”
He smiled again. “Connie, 20 years from
now, when you watch your daughter walk down the aisle on her wedding day, you aren’t going to be thinking, ‘She wore diapers to bed until she was 6.’”
I bristled at his exam-ple — how hard would it have been to imagine her college graduation instead? — but I really couldn’t summon any outrage. His words re-leased me. I bought the Pull-Ups and assured my daughter that she needn’t worry anymore about wetting her bed. A few weeks later, she didn’t need them anymore.
This memory was brought to you by Simi-lac.
The baby formula brand has a new com-mercial making the rounds on the Web, in-cluding on my Facebook page. It’s that rare gift of an ad that has some-thing to offend everyone because everyone brings her own brand of offen-siveness. Nursing moth-ers swing braless breasts at women wielding baby bottles. Other mothers tug at the lapels of their manly dark jackets and speculate aloud about the idleness of the stay-at-home moms who have just accused them of part-time parenting. One stroller-pushing mother, chastised by a baby-wearing mama, brags about how her Precious came into the world: “Drug-free pool birth. Dolphin assisted.”
There’s a quick shot of lesbian mothers, too, because whom they love is a lifestyle choice, you understand. There’s even a group of dads with babies strapped to their chests.

Shortly after the dedication of the newly completed Maytag Hotel on Dec. 26, 1926, a small group of local merchants and ministers formed a new coffee club. They met at 9 a.m. daily at the Maytag Coffee Shop, which is where Midtown Cafe is located today.
This was a fun loving group who enjoyed a nickel cup of coffee while they exchanged lo-cal news and many times a bit of humor. Profound statements were made, along with unique thought-provoking questions such as, “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?”
This jovial group of a dozen or more gentlemen carried on through the years, and would automatically regenerate itself. Membership was by invitation, with no dues, and the only ex-pectation just to have a good early morning visit with your friends. Members were expect to be broad minded.
New members were gener-
ally elected president at their initial meeting and then pre-sented with the bill. All par-ticipants were expected to pick up the tab on their birthday, or anniversary. Otherwise, an A-B-C numbers game was played around the table, with the loser buying everyone’s coffee for the day.
When the Maytag Hotel sold years ago, this downtown landmark then became the Midtown Coffee Club. But, the same tables were reserved and the same group contin-ued. Only minor adjustments evolved, including the cost of a cup of coffee. Some things do change.
Over the years, more “retir-ees” were invited to this pres-tigious group to replace those who retired, moved or passed away. When I retired back in 1990, my friend Gerry Caston-guay invited me to join after relating what an honor it was to be asked. With many travels
being planned, I elected to be a “part-timer” which was OK with the group. Looking back a quarter of a century, I must say this has been a great experience in so many ways.
Decade after decade, the 9 a.m. coffee club continued. Some strange little customs continued, such as a “Get Well” card in the form of a table nap-kin, signed by everyone and put in the mail. Special events cel-ebrated by local merchants were always attended by everyone with hand shakes and hearty congratulations. Funerals for present or past members were also religiously attended.
Many members from my early days are now only pleas-ant memories — fellows such as Paul Peck, Harold Reese, Frank Scholtz and Tom Hill come to mind as “The Lively Four” who always had something up their sleeves. Little by little, old timers were just not replaced, and membership continued to
diminish. With the passing of Wayne Richards in 2014, we lost our record keeper and his-torian. The names of these folks and scores of others over the last 89 years are published in an imaginary membership, book. These past members since way back in 1926, would have to be in the hundreds.
Another long-time coffee club member, Al Jaimes, was laid to rest just this week. Fol-lowing the ceremonies while visiting with a scant few re-maining members, it was col-lectively decided that this his-toric 9 a.m. coffee club should also be laid to rest. So, the day of Jaimes’ funeral, Jan. 28, 2015, officially ended the original Maytag/Midtown Coffee Club.
Perhaps it is time for a younger, more energetic group of local business folks, minis-ters and retirees to form a new group. But remember, old cof-fee clubs never die, they just fade away.

Larry E. PlumbJan. 4, 2015
On Feb. 4, 2015, Lar-ry Eugene Plumb joined his wife and family in h e a v e n . Larry was born in B a x t e r , s h o r t l y a f t e r which he moved to Newton, were he resided his entire life. Larry was a mischievous child who made lifelong friends with other like-minded kids such as Bud Davis, Tom Davis and Paul Berry. He served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War after which he met the love of his life, Magel Lucas. They were united in marriage July 3, 1955.
Larry started working for Maytag in 1952, as a laborer. He joined the United Auto Workers where his tireless efforts
in protecting worker rights resulted in his being elected as a chief plant representative. He held that post until the early 1980s. Larry was a prime example that no matter what someone’s background or educa-tion, a person could al-ways succeed through determination and hard work. During his time at Maytag he always had a second job as a farmer, gas station owner, body shop owner and at the time of his death, land-lord of multiple rental homes. When the May-tag plant closed in 2007, Larry was their longest tenured employee, hav-ing given them 55 years of service as a proud member of the UAW.
Larry and Magel had six children who they loved more than any-thing in the world. Larry was a fierce protector of his children, teaching them such invaluable lessons as hard work,
treating all as equals, protecting those that can’t protect themselves, and most importantly, you are never too old to change your ways and become a better person. His children will always cherish the valuable les-sons they learned from their father and would like to say a special thank you to Judy Brassfield who became his signifi-cant other in 2009. Judy and Larry provided each other comfort and com-panionship with her at his side when he died.
Larry is survived by his children, Larry D. (Diane) Plumb of Newton, Randy Plumb (Kathy Pickett) of Newton, Dick ( Jessica) Plumb of Shakopee, Minn., Van (Debbie) Plumb of Des Moines and Tracy Plumb of Des Moines; 13 grandchil-dren; five great-grand-children; his brothers, William M. “Bill” ( Ja-net) Plumb of Newton
and Doug Plumb of Newton; many nieces and nephews; and his significant other, Judy Brassfield.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Magel in 2009; son, Jeff in 2010; grand-son, Kalin Gurley; three brothers, Dick, Bob and Jim Plumb; and two sis-ters, Cleo Hoover and Wilda Nelson.
The family will greet friends from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 7 at the Wallace Family Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.
A private family buri-al will be at a later date at the Union Chapel Cemetery in rural Ira.
Memorials to the Jas-per County Animal Res-cue League and Humane Society may be left at the Wallace Family Fu-neral Home. Memorials may also be mailed to the funeral home please add, Attn: Plumb Fam-ily on the envelope.

DEAR ABBY: I am a widower in my mid-80s and have met a lovely widow, “Diane,” also in her 80s. What started as a “let’s do lunch” friendship has devel-oped into a close, affectionate relation-ship. Neither of us wants to take this to the next level, but we do want to spend as much time together as we can in the years left to us. We have a very active social life with friends and with Diane’s family who live in the same town.
My daughters, who live in another city and rarely visit, profess to like her and say they are happy that I have someone in my life. But they have asked that I be sensi-tive to their feelings of loss for my late wife, who died four years ago. They don’t want me to share what we do and where we go, which is hard when Diane is such a part of my life.
My problem is Diane and I want to spend a weekend in the city in which my children live to attend the theater. We will be sharing a hotel room. Do we tell them our plans and that we would like to see them while there, or not? Diane isn’t comfortable going behind their backs, but she also doesn’t want to cause a rift in my family. Neither do I. What would you advise? — UNCERTAIN IN MARY-LAND
DEAR UNCERTAIN: Your daugh-ters have told you they don’t want you to share what you do with your lady friend and where you go, and I am advising you to abide by their wishes. If word should get back to them that you were in town and they ask about it, be honest and don’t lie. And please, live every moment of your life to the fullest in the time God allows, and don’t permit your family to diminish one minute of it.
DEAR ABBY: My older sister and I are very close to our “Aunt Lil.” She has always jokingly told us we are “her chil-dren, too” because she never had any of her own and was active in our lives grow-ing up.
Aunt Lil is in her late 60s and in de-clining health. Now single, she smokes
two packs of cigarettes a day, but counts it only as one because they are slims. She also has high blood pressure, high choles-terol, etc.
The other day, while visiting with my mom, Aunt Lil started complaining about getting older and said how thank-ful she is to have my sister and me to take care of her when she’s too old to take care of herself. The two of us gave each other the “Not me ... you!” look.
While we love her dearly, when the time comes, Aunt Lil will be off to a nurs-ing home or have private home health care. Should we approach this with her now or wait and blindside her if/when it becomes an issue? — CAREFUL PLANNING IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR CAREFUL PLANNING: Having been so close to you and your sis-ter since you were children, I can under-stand why Aunt Lil might have expected some kindness in return. However, be-cause the two of you aren’t up to the task, she should be told now. It may provide an incentive for her to take better care of her health. Even if it doesn’t, it may spur her to think about her assets and planning for her care or supervision should she need it in the future. Because you don’t want the bother, suggest she involve another trusted family member or a social worker to watch out for her if she’s no longer competent to manage her affairs.

2 killed, 1 injured in central Iowa crash
TOLEDO — The Iowa State Patrol says two people are dead and another per-son was injured in a crash that occurred on Highway 30 in a central Iowa county. Troop-ers say 62-year-old Dwight Conway of Hot Springs, Arkansas, failed to stop at a stop sign on Wednesday afternoon when his ve-hicle was struck by a semitrailer on the high-way in Tama County. Both vehicles rolled on their sides and into a ditch. Authorities pro-nounced Conway and his passenger, Phillip Core of Pleasantville, Iowa, dead at the scene.

City administrator charged with assault
ONAWA — The city administrator in a western Iowa town has been charged with assaulting his 15-year-old son. Court doc-uments say 45-year-old Bradley Hanson, city administrator in Onawa, got into a fight with his son at their home.

The Louisa County Attorney has decided not to file criminal charges against Michael Drayfahl, who shot the dogs, ac-cording to a news release issued Wednesday.
County officials: Nothing illegal in Iowa fatal dog shooting
The Associated Press
WAPELLO — A man who shot two dogs, one fatally, that were owned by his neighbors in southeastern Iowa did nothing illegal, county officials said.
The Louisa County Attorney has decided not to file criminal charges against Michael Drayfahl of Wapello, who shot Tammy and Greg Slater’s German shepherds on Sunday afternoon, according to a statement issued Wednesday. One dog was shot through the leg, and the other died
in the shooting.According to the
statement, Tammy Slat-er called police to report that her neighbor shot two of her dogs and fired bullets toward her husband and grandson. In a subsequent call, Drayfahl’s wife, Celia Drayfahl, reported that her husband had shot the neighbor’s dog be-cause it came on their property.
Officials said the shootings were legal be-cause the dogs weren’t wearing current rabies vaccination tags. They also said evidence indi-cates the dogs were on
Drayfahl’s property and that he didn’t fire in the direction of any person.
But Tammy Slater told the Muscatine Jour-nal the rabies tags don’t make a difference, be-cause she says Drayfahl didn’t know the dogs weren’t wearing them.
A 2010 police re-port shows Celia Dray-fahl called authorities to report dogs running around on their prop-erty. An officer then told Tammy Slater that the Drayfahls would be legally allowed to shoot her dogs if they were on the Drayfahls’ property attacking livestock.
Head of Iowa National Guard says overseas demands declining
The Associated Press
DES MOINES — Over-seas service requirements for the Iowa National Guard continue to decline, the head of the unit said Thursday.
Major General Timo-thy Orr addressed the Iowa General Assembly with the annual “Condition of the Guard” address. Orr said they currently have about 150 soldiers and airmen de-ployed around the world. Thousands have served in combat and combat support roles over the past 13 years in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Since the large brigade-level deployment in Iowa in 2010-2011, we’ve seen a significant decline in the demand for Iowa National
Guard forces,” Orr said. He said the current number de-ployed is “the lowest number of deployed service mem-bers from the Iowa National Guard since the start of Op-erations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom.”
Orr said 18 guard mem-bers who were wounded in service have received medi-cal care over the past year, but just two are currently still receiving treatment.
The U.S. combat role in Afghanistan has ended af-ter 13 years, though some troops remain in the country with the authorization to at-tack the Taliban if there is a threat to U.S. military per-sonnel.
Orr said the guard is fo-cused on training to prepare
for military duties and emer-gency response in the state. That includes sending air-men to Air Force schools for technology training. While an F-16 fighter jet was re-moved from Des Moines in September, Orr said mis-sions continue at the air base.
The state did not face many emergency situations in 2014, but Orr said the guard used the time to “plan, prepare and exercise for po-tential disaster response support on a variety of sce-narios.” Those preparations included working on tornado response plans and recently on developing a response system for cyber security.
There are about 9,200 National Guard soldiers and airmen in Iowa.
Bishop conducts mass to sanctify Iowa church after robberyCUMMING (AP) — A
robbery at a historic Roman Catholic church in suburban Des Moines compelled a bish-op to conduct a special service meant to sanctify the church.
Bishop Richard Pates and the Rev. Dan Kirby led a con-gregation of about 75 people through St. Patrick’s Irish Set-tlement Church in Cumming, flinging holy water up the walls to bless the sanctuary. They also asked parishioners to pray for those responsible for the theft.
The thief or thieves target-ed the church in early Janu-ary, stealing several Bibles and prayer books, but also a chalice containing wafers used during communion.
Pates said the wafers are “the most sacred element” in the Catholic faith, so their disappearance required the church to conduct the special ritual.
“For us, financially, it’s minimal,” Kirby told the Des Moines Register. “But spiritu-ally, you obviously can’t put a cost on the Eucharist.”
He said the ceremony marked a fresh beginning.
Established in the early 1850s, the parish is the oldest in the Diocese of Des Moines. An original log church was re-placed in 1868 by the refined wooden structure that stands today. The church was visited by Pope Saint John Paul II in 1979.

“This was our first time enter-ing the TV News category, and the first time entering in mime,” Hive-ly said. “And we qualified for state in both events.”
The first-year state-qualifying Group Mime duo is the tandem of Courtney Tabor and Miranda Er-vin, who will perform a short piece called “The Marionette” in Satur-day’s state-competition.
The state format sticks to an extremely strict schedule, with not only time ranges for performanc-es, but also specific start times. For example, the Group Mime competition is set for exactly 9:18 a.m. Drake Rhone, Drew Lamb, Savanah Eadens, Jesse Cochran, Lucas Sander and Adrienne Berg-man make up the TV News team. They’ll be the first Newto group to compete Saturday, as the TV News competition is set for 8:30 a.m. Ei-leen Gerken, Kate Wyre, Megan Shores,
Taylor Carpenter and Brianna Fuller are on the Short Film team. Their production of “Guess Who” is slated to be viewed at 10 a.m. The Group Improv squad includes Rhone, Cochran, Taylor Carpenter and Grace Kingery.
They’re set to take the stage as part of the 2:27 p.m. competi-tion. Kingery, Sander, Tabor and Whitney Breckenridge are on the Musical Theater team that’s set to perform a “Beauty and the Beast” selection at 4:25 p.m. Newton’s long day at state is set to wrap up with another Group Improv en-try. The quartet of Fuller, Eadens, Brenda Becerra and Jackson Forck
is scheduled to compete at 4:54 p.m.
The team showcased its talents for Newton-area families and oth-er guests at a Jan. 22 community night, held just before districts. A similar showcase will take place March 10 for the individual com-petitions. Newton’s Feb. 28 district competition will be held at Tipton Middle School in Thornburg.
There are more than 30 schools in the district, including Colfax-Mingo and Prairie City-Monroe. Qualifiers from district advance to Individual State, set for March 14 at Kennedy High School in Ce-dar Rapids. Individual All-State is March 30 at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.
The speech “season” is really only district and state-level com-petitions, along with the months of rehearsals, media production and other preparations leading up to districts. The team begins meet-ing after school each October.
The list of rules for Saturday’s state event is vast, and some of the rules are intense. For example, school or community apparel and logos are not allowed in contest rooms, and photograhpy and vid-eotaping at the competition is pro-hibited.
Hively said speech is meant to be inclusive. It isn’t necessary to have traditional performing-arts talent in order to be successful in an event.
“We want everyone to be in-volved,” Hively said. “Just showing up regularly, and being dedicated, is a huge part of it.”

The ubiquitous William SchallertBy Nick Thomas
Tinseltown Talks
Even casual couch potatoes will concede that throughout years of television viewing, there’s no avoiding Wil-liam Schallert.
His distinctive, mel-low voice and comfort-ingly familiar face have appeared on series since the 1950s ranging from “Father Knows Best” to “Desperate Housewives” and everything in be-tween (see http://www.william-schallert.com)
“I’ve never added up the total, but I did work a lot,” said Schallert, from his home in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
The tally of television appearances is close to 300, with another 100 feature films – the first being an uncredited role in “The Foxes of Harrow” in 1947 which Schallert still vividly re-calls.
“I had one line as a banker delivering a mes-sage to the New Or-leans stock exchange: ‘Gentlemen, gentlemen,
the bank of the United States in Philadelphia has closed its doors!’”
Schallert says the scene was memorable because it called for another actor to shoot himself, but was unable to coordinate firing the gun with the gunshot sound produced by crew backstage.
“They couldn’t see each other, so the shot would go off sometimes before or sometimes af-ter the trigger was pulled. It got to be hysterical,” laughed Schallert. “But
they kept me over and I ended up getting three day’s pay for one. So I figured this was a great way to make a living!”
In the beginning, Schallert says roles came slowly, but by 1959 he was hot.
“I worked 57 times that year, then got a re-curring role on ‘Dobie Gillis,’ and of course as the father on ‘The Patty Duke Show’ in 1963,” he said.
However, the un-certainty of series work could become unset-tling.
“I knew the show was coming to an end, and was concerned what would happen,” he said of The Patty Duke Show. “Fortunately I started doing voice-over work in commer-cials and that really paid the bills for the next 20 years.”
Schallert has been invited to sci-fi con-ventions due to roles in ’50s film classics such as “The Man from Planet X,” “Them,” and “The Incredible Shrinking Man.” He also guest starred in ‘The Trouble with Tribbles,’ one of the most popular “Star Trek” episodes.
But he says one of his favorite TV guest roles was in “Get Smart,” where he appeared in several episodes as the very elderly and un-steady Admiral Har-grade who would fall over at the slightest
touch — an irony not lost on the 92-year-old Schallert, now co-incidentally the exact age as his character during the 1968 “Get Smart”season.
“The admiral was a charming character and looking back as an ac-tor, I still think the ways I made him tumble over were funny,” he said. “But now I am the age his character was sup-posed to be, and the actual falling down part isn’t funny anymore. Falls can become seri-ous health issues for se-niors.”
While Schallert says he has experienced some falls, his main health is-sue is his legs.
“I have peripheral neuropathy and wear braces,” he said. “They help me stay balanced if I use a walker, but it’s just easier to get around in a wheelchair.”
Despite the physi-cal limitation, Schallert doesn’t entirely rule out working in the future.
“Although I’m more or less retired, if some-one offered me a stage role and it was some-thing I could manage, I’d probably do it,” he says. “But working in film or TV would be too difficult now. Besides, I did my share.”

Legislation advances to change
Iowa’s primary election
rulesDES MOINES (AP)
— Senators have given preliminary approval to legislation that would change primary election rules in Iowa so voters decide certain contested races, rather than political party delegates.
The bill got subcom-mittee-level backing Thursday and now goes to a Senate committee for review. Under the propos-al, if no candidate receives 35 percent of the primary vote in certain races, there would be a runoff election between the top two vote-getters.
Currently, when no candidate meets the pri-mary threshold, party delegates pick a nominee. The legislation would im-pact races for Congress, the Legislature and state-wide office.
Sen. Brad Zaun, an Urbandale Republican, proposed the measure. Last year, he received the most votes in a six-way Republican primary for the 3rd Congressional District. But he didn’t reach the threshold and lost at the convention.

Brian and The Boz.Johnny and Johnny Football.Earlier this week, it was an-
nounced that C l e v e l a n d Browns quar-terback Johnny Manziel decided to enter a treat-ment program for an unspeci-fied condition. The embattled quarterback had a very rocky rookie season in the NFL and he entered treat-ment last week.
Readers of this column know I’m not a fan of Manziel, but I do wish him well. In a statement by Manziel advisor Brad Beckwith, “Johnny knows there are areas he needs to improve on to help him be a better family member, friend and teammate, so he de-cided to take this step in his life during the offseason.”
My hope is Manziel is sincere.Throughout his run as starting
quarterback for Texas A&M and his rookie NFL season, Man-ziel’s persona of Johnny Football ran the show much like The Boz did for former Oklahoma and NFL linebacker Brian Bosworth in the 1980s. Manziel’s play for Texas A&M earned him the Heisman Trophy as a freshman.
Bosworth was a man among college players at Oklahoma. He was a beast at linebacker, but The Boz persona took over most of the time. He was brash and didn’t care what people thought. One of Bosworth’s downfalls in college was a drug test for steroid use — that he didn’t pass.
Bosworth was hailed, just like Manziel was, a sure-fire hit for any NFL team to have on its ros-ter. The Boz followed him to the NFL. Injuries and The Boz did in Bosworth, who only played two full seasons and two games for the Seattle Seahawks.
Manziel’s off-the-field life-style — being Johnny Football — and his seemingly lack of dedication to himself, the Cleve-land Browns organization and his teammates have been well documented. It has been said he was unprepared at times when he was called upon to be “the quarterback” of the Browns this past season.
Manziel, selected by the Browns with the 22nd overall pick in the 2014 draft, complet-ed 18 of 35 passes for 175 yards in seven quarters of NFL play before injuring his hamstring in Week 16.
Last Sunday night’s Super Bowl was a good one, especially if you were just a NFL football fan. A lot of drama and right to the wire for the deciding play. And what a play — New Eng-land rookie defensive back Mal-colm Butler intercepts a Rus-sell Wilson pass at the goal line to deny the Seattle Seahawks back-to-back NFL champion-ships.
Butler made another big play that probably has been over-looked.
First, he tipped the ball in the air on the spectacular catch Seattle’s Jermaine Kearse made two plays before Butler’s inter-ception. What no one is point-ing out is Butler didn’t just stand there while Kearse got up from making the catch on his back. but the rookie had the wits about him to push Kearse out of bounds at the five-yard line with 1:06 left.
Kearse could have easily walked into the end zone to be the hero for the Seahawks at that point. Butler made the plays at the end to be the hero of the game for the Patriots.

Cardinal girls net non-conference win
CHARITON — Earlier this season Newton High head coach Brandon Sharp talked of the balanced scoring of the Cardinal girls’ basket-ball team being a good thing and a tough aspect to deal with this season.
“We never know from game to game who will lead us in scoring. I think every one of our starters has led us in scoring at least one game this season. That’s good, but you always like to have some-thing you know is in your back pocket,” Sharp said at the time.
The Cardinals had four players score eight or more points Thursday night in their 53-44 victory over host Chariton. Newton was led by junior Jessica Reynolds with her season-high 13 points. Senior Michaela Jacobsen tossed in 10 points.
Newton’s season lead-ing scorer is junior Hannah Rhoads, who scored nine points in Thursday’s win. Sophomore Ryanne Rausch came off the bench to score eight points.
“We gutted one out to-night,” Sharp said of the road win — Newton’s second this week. Newton is 4-14 overall. The Cardinals used a 16-of-32 run at the free-throw line to help get past Chariton, which was 11-of-22 from the line.
Newton’s girls carry a two-game winning streak into their final home game of the season. Friday, Oska-loosa comes to Newton in
LHC play on Senior Night. It is also Newton’s Coaches against Cancer games.
The Cardinals pushed out to an 11-5 lead over the Chargers (5-13) by the end of the first quarter. Newton kept its offense going in the second period, outscoring Chariton 16-13 for a 27-18 lead at halftime.
Scoring slowed down for eight minutes. The Chargers tossed in nine points while
holding the Cardinals to eight points in the third quarter.
Newton took a 35-27 ad-vantage into the fourth period. Both teams picked up offensive steam again. The Cardinals had an 18-17 scoring edge to hold the Chargers at bay.
Sadee Terrell paced the Chargers with 11 points. Luci Swarthout added 10 points.
It was a sweep for the Car-dinal girls. The junior varsity beat Chariton 38-28. Jessie
Smith and Taylor Shipley each fired in 12 points.Newton 11-16-9-18—53Chariton 5-13-9-17—44Newton (FG/3-pt): Rausch 4-0-2-8, Jen-kins 0/1-1-2-4, Moon 0-0-2-0, Jordan 1-0-1-2, Hutchinson 0-4-2-4, Reynolds 4-5-1-13, C.

Hot-handed Chargers deck Cardinal boys
CHARITON — Chariton’s Chargers never allowed the visit-ing Newton High Car-dinal boys in the game Thursday. Shooting 60 percent from the field, the Chargers blazed their way to an 81-54 win over the Cardinals in non-conference play.
“They played much harder than we did,” said Nick Wilkins, Newton head coach. “They were ready to play and we weren’t.”
Chariton staked a 22-10 lead by the end of the first quarter. The Chargers kept the heat on, outscoring the Car-dinals 21-11 in the sec-ond period.
Newton faced a 43-21 halftime deficit. The Cardinals came out and held a 17-13 scoring edge in the third period. Chari-ton continued its tor-rid pace, finishing on a 25-16 surge in the final eight minutes.
Nick Easley led
the Cardinals with 10 points. Garrett Sturtz and Tyler Wood each tossed in nine points.
Wood’s nine points pushed him into the No. 2 spot on the New-ton boys’ career scoring list with 980 points. Wood came into his senior season sitting at sixth in all-time scor-ing with 739 points since the 2011-12 sea-son.
Wood passed Justin George, who scored 976 points from 1992-93 to 1995-96 for Newton. Curt Greeley is the only player to score more than 1,000 points for NHS. Gree-ley scored 1,020 from 2002-03 to 2005-06.
Newton has lost four straight games to land at 6-10.
The Cardinals take a 1-8 Little Hawkeye Conference mark into Friday’s home game against Oskaloosa (5-11, 1-8). Oskaloosa’s only conference win is over Newton.
Friday is Senior Night for NHS and
Newton’s Coaches against Cancer games.
The Cardinals were 12-of-22 from the free-throw line against Chariton.
Nothing cooled off Chariton, which was 32-of-53 from the field overall. The Chargers (14-4) drained 8 of their 13 3-point field goal at-tempts. They were 9-of-19 from the line.
T.J. Hockenson led the Chargers with 27 points followed by Daric Laing with 21 points. Lim Chuol scored 12 points.

Hawkeyes rout injury-
plagued Wolverines
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Jarrod Uthoff had 16 points and nine r e -bounds , and Iowa s c o r e d the final 12 points of the first half en route to a 72-54 vic-tory over Michigan on Thursday night.
The Wolverines, playing without injured guards Caris LeVert and Derrick Walton, did not score for the final 6:58 of the half, and Iowa (14-8, 5-4 Big Ten) led 31-21 at halftime. Mike Gesell finished with 14 points for Iowa, and Aaron White added 13.
Aubrey Dawkins led Michigan with 16 points, but the Wol-verines (13-10, 6-5) continue to be plagued by extended scoring droughts. They were held without a point in overtime in a loss at Michigan State on Sun-day, and they never re-ally threatened Iowa af-ter the Hawkeyes built a comfortable lead.
It was Michigan’s most lopsided home loss since Dec. 28, 2010.
White was called for two technical fouls less than two minutes apart in the second half. The second was for hanging on the rim after a dunk that put Iowa up 46-28. Hanging on the rim is a Class B technical, and White was not ejected.
A 3-pointer by Dawkins brought Mich-igan within nine with 8:07 remaining, but Uthoff answered with a 3-pointer that started a 12-2 run that gave Iowa a 64-45 advantage.
Adam Woodbury scored 11 points, and Peter Jok contributed 10.
at 8 p.m. against either North Polk (7-10) or West Marshall (3-16).
The district final will be at 7 p.m. in Nevada on Feb. 24. PCM and CMB could meet in the substate final.
The District 11 and 12 winners will hook up on Feb. 28 with the win-ner advancing to the 2A state tournament.
That game will be at 7 p.m. at Bondurant-Farrar.
Lynnville-Suly and Colfax-Mingo will both play in 1A districts.
The Hawks (12-5) began their postsea-son trek against North Mahaska (6-12) at Moulton-Udell on Feb. 19. Tip off is set for 6:30 p.m.
The winner of that game will face the win-ner between Moulton-Udell (12-6) and Sey-mour (7-13), which tips at 8 p.m. on Feb. 19.
The District 10 semi-finals will be Feb. 24 at Moulton-Udell and the district final is Feb. 26 at a site that has not yet been determined.
Other teams in the district include Sigour-ney (13-3), Wayne (3-15), Moravia (3-15), Keota (10-8) and Twin Cedars (10-8).
The substate game, which features the Dis-trict 9 and 10 winners, will be in Fairfield on Feb. 28.
The only area team that plays on Feb. 16 is Colfax-Mingo.
The Tigerhawks (0-16) travel to Lib-erty Center to face the Southeast Warren War-hawks (3-15) at 8 p.m.
The winner of that game travels to Colo-NESCO to face the No. 3 and undefeated Royals (18-0) at 8 p.m. on Feb. 19.
Other teams in the district include Grand View Christian (18-1), Ankeny Christian Academy (15-3), Iowa Christian Academy (14-5), Pleasantville (12-6), Van Meter (9-9), Melcher-Dallas (0-16) and Martensdale-St. Marys (7-11).
The District 11 semi-finals are in Pleasantville on Feb. 24.
The district cham-pionship is Feb. 26 at Ankeny Centennial and the substate final pitting the District 11 and 12 champions is Feb. 28 at Johnston.
The state tournament takes place March 9-14 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Iowa football leans on in-state prospectsIOWA CITY (AP) — Nine
instate prospects headlined Iowa’s latest recruiting class, which was announced Wednes-day.
Dowling Catholic star quar-terback Ryan Boyle is among the Iowans who signed letters of intent with the Hawkeye foot-ball team.
Boyle, a native of Newton, threw for 1,934 yards and 18 touchdowns and ran for 1,123 yards in leading the Maroons to the state title last season. He also helped Dowling win the championship in 2013.
Drew Cook, the son of for-mer Hawkeye standout and NFL tight end Marv Cook, will begin his Iowa career as a quar-terback but has the frame to transition to tight end if needed.
The Hawkeyes signed north-west Iowa twins Levi and Lan-dan Paulsen, who are both of-fensive linemen, and defensive end Brady Reiff, the younger
brother of former Iowa star Ri-ley Reiff.
IOWATop 25 Class: No.Best in class: James Daniels,
C, Warren, Ohio. Daniels, the lone four-star recruit in Iowa’s class, is widely considered one of the best center prospects in the country.
Daniels might soon be block-ing for his brother LeShun, a running back who could get significant playing time for the Hawkeyes in 2015.
Best of the rest: As a de-velopmental program, it typi-cally takes at least three years to know where Iowa hit and where it missed in any given recruit-
ing cycle. But the Paulsens, Cook and Illinois linebacker Jack Hockaday appear to be the kind of prospects who eventu-ally blossom for the Hawkeyes.
One that got away: Karan Higdon, RB, Sarasota, Fla. A late push by new Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh swayed Higdon toward the Wolver-ines. Iowa’s luck with running backs has been spotty at best since Shonn Green won the Doak Walker Award in 2008, and Higdon’s reversal left the Hawkeyes scrambling to land a running back in this class.
Late addition: Iowa didn’t have to wait long. The Hawk-eyes signed Prattville, Ala., back Eric Graham, who rushed for nearly 2,000 yards and earned all-state honors for Autauga Academy.
Coach Kirk Ferentz said the Hawkeyes offered a scholarship after Graham visited the school last weekend.

late Ohio State runIOWA CITY (AP) — Ally Dister-

Bethany Doolittle added 19 points, 13 rebounds and five blocked shots for Iowa (17-4, 8-2 Big Ten).
Iowa used a 21-2 run early in the first half — with 10 points from fresh-man Whitney Jennings — to roll up a 41-29 lead at the break.
The Buckeyes chipped away at the lead throughout the second half, draw-ing to within one point on two occa-sions. But Iowa responded both times, and a 7-0 spurt late made the lead un-assailable in the waning moments.
Melissa Dixon added 13 points for Iowa while Jennings finished with 12. Samantha Logic also had six points, nine rebounds and 12 assists.
Alexa Hart had 14 points for Ohio State (15-8, 7-4).

Back issues re-surface for WoodsSAN DIEGO (AP) — New
season, same old story with Ti-ger Woods.
Only it’s no longer a happy tale.
For the third time in his last eight PGA Tour events, Woods got into a cart in the middle of his round and was driven to the parking lot because of back pain. Most troubling about Thursday in the Farmers Insurance Open was he spoke only a week ago of feel-ing “great” physically, and this was only his second event of the year.
He blamed this one on the weather, which caused his “glutes” to shut off.
“I was ready to go,” Woods said. “I had a good warmup ses-sion the first time around. Then we stood out here and I got cold, and everything started deactivat-ing again. And it’s frustrating that I just can’t stay activated.”
Woods walked off the course after 11 holes on the North
Course at Torrey Pines, citing tightness in his lower back from standing around for more than an hour in the cool Pacific air dur-ing a fog delay in the morning. He never looked comfortable, and Billy Horschel noticed it right away. Woods was reaching for his back at the turn. Horschel tried to help by picking up the tee for Woods on their 10th hole and the ball from the cup when Woods made birdie.
Woods now has gone 12 straight PGA Tour events with-out a top 10, dating to his run-ner-up finish in The Barclays in 2013 when back pain dropped him to his knees.
Nicholas Thompson had an 8-under 64 on the North Course and had a one-shot lead over Mi-chael Thompson when play was suspended by darkness.
The best score on the tougher South Course belonged to Jhon-natan Vegas, who shot 67.
OSKALOOSA — New-ton High’s freshman and ju-nior varsity boys’ basketball teams played at Oskaloosa Thursday.
The Newton freshmen lost 55-31. Zac Combs led the Cardinals with 10 points. Dalton Pauley had seven points and Nathan Van Zee scored six points. Scoring two points each were Kam-den Kuennen, Grayson Gra-ham and De’Andre Roush.
The junior varsity won 53-33. There were no indi-vidual statistics availabe for the game.
Newton’s freshmen and junior varsity play at Grin-nell Saturday in rescheduled games from Monday. The freshman game is at 9 a.m. followed by the junior varsity.

Astrograph
Is technology the beauty that will lead to a utopian society, or is it a beast that endangers humankind? This is the argument played out as the sun in Aquarius opposes Jupiter retrograde in Leo. As of now, technol-ogy is a tool of humans, although many science fiction readers believe that this equation could flip in the future.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 6). If you’ve forgot-ten, the sun will remind you that you’re magnificent. To ward against the self-con-sciousness this may rouse, get on with the business of promoting the people and causes dear to you. Your care is the magic ingredi-ent to motivate others into high production. Your love life is invigorated in May. Sagittarius and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 1, 11, 24 and 16. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Watching people react to an entertaining episode of life can be more entertaining than the actual episode. This explains the trend of “reaction videos”
on YouTube, and it also explains what happens with you tonight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s no secret solu-tion. Whatever your goal, it will take work. You can get there if you’re willing to trade whatever you’re doing now for the work you need to do to get to the goal.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Optimism might not come easily, but it will pay off. A sunny attitude will reduce your overall stress levels and help you stay focused on your top priori-ties, like helping yourself and your loved ones thrive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may feel deprived of what you need, when the reality is that you’re only deprived of what you want. It’s not that you’re spoiled; it’s just that you’re getting used to something you ought not to. Get back to basics. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Things break along the way, and that’s to be expected. You’ll have time
to fix everything, and all will be working properly when you most need it. Until then, see this as an opportunity to research some upgrades. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Look for the superstars in your area of interest, and study them. They are likely people who have helped many others, gone the extra mile and put the universe in their debt, just as you are doing now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ready or not, start in-vesting your effort in the direction of your big goal. It’s going to take hundreds of hours, and for many of those hours, you will have no idea what you’re doing. You may as well start learn-ing now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The messages you send will create an echo, except that the feedback is not instantaneous, so it can be difficult to understand the cause-and-effect relation-ship. Just know it’s there and adjust what you put out accordingly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You strive to communicate heart-to-heart and soul-to-soul, because at the end of the day, this is the com-munication that will really make a difference. Today this mostly involves listen-ing with your whole being. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone wants some-thing. You just have to fig-ure out what they want and give it to them. You’ll find out because you assume nothing and ask excellent questions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Each dollar has the potential to grow more dollars. This is why you are hesitant to spend on unnecessary, temporal and unmemorable items. You even second-guess certain drink purchases these days. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mind is occupied with love. This is the reason you have the en-ergy necessary to work on critical items and not much more. The 80/20 rule very much applies today.
