Copper Dollar Ranch

Dennis Magee/Waterloo-Cedar Falls CourierFormer Copper Dollar Ranch owner Hal Snedeker takes the stand Wednesday in the double murder trail of Theresa “Terri” Supino at the Black Hawk County Courthouse in Waterloo. The defense hopes testimony regarding Snedeker’s past drug trafficking will provide a link between the 1983 murders of Melisa Gregory, 17, and Steven Fisher, 20, and drug activity related to the ranch.

Defense claims drug connection to CDR murders during Snedeker testimony

By Mike MendenhallNewton Daily News

WATERLOO — The de-fense’s theory that a drug-related hit was the motive behind March 3, 1983 deaths of 17-year-old Melisa Gregory and 20-year-old Steven Fisher began to surface Wednesday during the cross ex-amination of former Copper Dol-lar Ranch owner Hal Snedeker.

Theresa “Terri” Supino, now 54, is charged with two counts of

first-degree murder in the brutal killings of her estranged hus-band, Fisher, and his girlfriend, Gregory at the CDR northwest of Newton. But attorneys for the defendant want to link the drug activity of Snedeker to the kill-ings, hoping to make it plausible for jurors that the deaths could have been the result of a drug deal gone bad.

With reluctance, Snedeker told co-defense counsel Steve Add-ington he began trafficking drugs

from Iowa due to the financial failings of his horse breeding and quartering operation at the CDR — although Snedeker maintains no marijuana was transported from or to the ranch.

Snedeker moved to Newton from Florida in 1981 while on probation for a drug-related vio-lation. He testified that Fisher knew about the drug trafficking nearly one year before his death

suspect sentenced on drug charges

By Abigail PelzerNewton Daily News

The Newton man accused of calling in bomb threats to the Jasper County Courthouse has been sentenced to five years in prison on drug charges initially scheduled for sentencing on the day of the threats.

M a r t i n Meloche, 39, ap-peared in court Monday to be sentenced on third-offense pos-session of methamphetamine, a Class D felony, to which he pleaded guilty. He was trans-ported to the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Oakdale following the sentencing.

Meloche is still scheduled to appear for a jury trial March 4 on

The board made decisions on fund allocations for RSVP, Veterans Affairs, domestic violence coverage through the Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Vio-lence, the county fair board and the Jasper County Museum.

County supervisors hold budget workshop

By Jamee A. PiersonNewton Daily News

The Jasper County Board of Supervisors met Wednesday to discuss the next fiscal year’s bud-get following January presen-tations in which requests were made. After reviewing two bud-get options, the board selected an option that keeps taxes at the same rate as last year.

A few items that needed to be settled were funds to be given to Retired Senior Volunteer Pro-gram (RSVP), Veterans Affairs, domestic violence coverage, the county fair board and the Jasper County Museum. RSVP asked for additional funds of $5,000 to total $7,500 because of a decrease in funding from Skiff Medical

Hearing the Call

By Jason W. BrooksNewton Daily News

When Adam Gan-naway was about to take his six junior firefighters out to the trucks Satur-day, he had to pause for a moment to fight back tears.

Gannaway had just concluded a briefing of his junior group, col-lecting cell phones and preparing for the day’s drills. The group paused as Gannaway reflected on the recent passing away of Centerville As-sistant Fire Chief Mi-chael Cooper.

“His funeral is hap-pening today in Cen-terville,” Gannaway told the young students. “That’s too close to home.”

Gannaway drove home his point about the serious nature of the business of firefight-ing. Then, the group of mostly middle-school-ers from eastern Jasper County did what they usually do two Satur-days out of each month — train to fight fires.

The Kellogg Vol-unteer Fire Depart-ment’s junior program is unique for this area, and has grown to nine stu-dents since beginning with only a handful of enrollees in November

A healthy meal includes a va-riety of foods; ideally one food from each food group.

Make half your plate veggies and

fruitsVe g e t a b l e s

and fruits are full of nutrients and may help to promote good health. Choose red, orange, and dark green veg-etables such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli.

Include lean proteinChoose protein foods, such as

lean beef and pork, or chicken, turkey and beans. Twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate.

Choose whole grainsAim to make at least half your

grains whole grains. Look for the words “100 percent whole grain” or “100 percent whole wheat” on the food label. Whole grains provide more nutrients, like fiber, than refined grains.

Remember the dairyPair your meal with a cup of

fat-free or low-fat milk. Milk provides calcium, protein and Vi-tamin D. Don’t drink milk? Try soymilk or almond milk as your beverage or include light yogurt in your meal.

Avoid extra fatGo light on gravies and sauc-

es which will add extra fat and calories. Be certain to have more broccoli than cheese sauce. For a change try with a sprinkling of low-fat parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon.

Take control of your foodEat at home more often so you

know exactly what you are eat-ing. If you eat out, check on the nutrition information. Choose healthier options such as baked instead of fried.

Take your timeSavor your food. Eat slowly;

enjoy the taste and textures, and pay attention to how you feel. Be mindful.

Eating very quickly may cause you to eat too much. Stop eating when you are no longer hungry.

Use a smaller plateUse a smaller plate at meals to

help with portion control. That way you can finish your entire plate and feel satisfied without overeating.

Try new foodsKeep it interesting by pick-

ing out new foods you’ve never tried before, like mango, lentils or kale. You may find a new fa-vorite. Try new recipes too.

Satisfy your sweet toothIndulge in a naturally sweet

dessert dish such as fruit. Serve a fresh fruit cocktail or a fruit par-fait made with yogurt.

For a hot dessert, bake apples and top with cinnamon.

Want to live longer and stay men-tally sharper? Of course, you do.

But the bigger question is how can you do it?

Experts say there are three important steps to take: try new things, invest in your health and stay en-gaged in life.

Challenging your-self to learn some-thing new promotes the health of your brain. Specifically, new mental challeng-es that stretch your brain promote the growth and formation of new synapses, which are the road maps our brain uses to complete tasks and use information.

It was once thought that the brain had a finite capacity for learning and forming new synapse connections.

Fortunately, neuroplasticity is a term that is gaining more and more atten-tion when it comes to brain health.

Neuroplasticity is the concept of the brain’s ability to continually adapt to meet various demands. By chal-lenging yourself to learn a new skill or solve a problem, you are literally giving your brain a workout, which is great for your overall health.

Not only is learning something new important for optimal brain health, but it also is vital in maintain-ing a positive sense of well-being. By opening your mind to new ideas or routines, you will find new hobbies to enjoy, new friends with common in-terests or a new cause to be passion-ate about.

With a strong sense of purposeful living comes a high level well-being.

Take action today and teach your-self something new or immerse your-self in a new community effort.

Learning something new doesn’t have to be complex. Don’t be intimi-dated! Join a club, pursue a new hob-

by or volunteer for an organization close to your heart.

Teaching yourself a new skill or participating in something new will

build your brain and your spirit. Con-sider inviting a friend to learn some-thing new, and together, you can start living longer, better on purpose.

CorrectionThe Newton Police Department received a

grant from the Jasper County Community Foun-dation for $2,900, not $29,000 as previously re-ported.

2013. While rules prohibit youth from going on cer-tain types of calls, participating in some training ex-ercises or actually fighting fires or treating patients, the group still gets into the trenches, in many ways.

Saturday’s exercises alternated between reviewing a laptop fire-simulator program and training footage of fire calls, with half of the group going through a blind drill. For the blind drill, the junior firefighters donned almost a full compliment of gear.

Each student was blindfolded to simulate a smoke-filled area, and assigned to crawl along sev-eral hoses, starting at the nozzle, finding the truck by following the hose. Some had an easier time with the drill than others, but everyone eventually found the truck.

Persistence seems to come naturally to the resil-ient bunch, who must maintain certain academic re-quirements to be eligible for the program. The sum-mer months offer considerably different options for the two Saturdays of 10 a.m. to noon training.

Many of the youth are sons or daughters or fire-fighters or other first-responders — including the triplets that are Gannaway’s children.

“I like it, because we’re helping the community,” said Courtney Gannaway, one of two girls at Satur-day’s training. Her brothers, Mason and Dylan, are also a part of the program.

“It gives us something to do, and keeps us out of trouble,” Mason said. “It gets you moving.”

Adam Gannaway, a captain with Kellogg Fire, said his father, Joe, was a firefighter on Long Island, NY, where departments have traditions that go back many generations. His uncle, Dennis, fought fires in Wisconsin, and Gannaway grew up in Jasper County, wanting to someday join the Newton Fire Department.

“I wish we would have a junior program like this years ago,” Adam said. “We can’t let the kids deal with actual operations, but they can learn about the equipment and safety now.”

The juniors are allowed to go on some types of fire calls on a truck, but not all situations are ideal for trainees. For example, the department won’t take the students out to any calls along the I-80 roadway itself.

The group is also involved in special department events, such as fundraiser breakfasts. Several of the students helped deliver food on a recent Saturday at the East Kellogg Christian Food Pantry, filling a fire truck with food and unloading it at the church.

Like any middle-school group, the students are at various stages of bodily development. The fit and encumbrance of the gear is different on each junior. However, the importance of the business at hand doesn’t seem lost on any in the group.

“It’s a big responsibility,” said Dylan Gannaway. “If you hear a call, you have to be on time.”

celebrate a milestone in their lives. Loretta will turn 100 years old in March, just three months after her beloved husband did in Decem-ber. The two, along with their family and friends, will host a celebration from 2 to 5 p.m. Satur-day at Park Centre in the Garden Room. All are invited to attend.

Both Wendell and Loretta are only children who grew up in Avoca, a town 45 minutes east of Council Bluffs. Wendell was born to the owners of C.C. Wendt Drug and Jewelry on Dec. 20, 1914 and Loretta was born to farmers on March 29, 1915.

Wendell and Loretta met freshman year in high school and were good friends. They didn’t start dating until the summer of 1942, more than 10 years later.

The two graduated from Avoca High School and attended Drake University in 1932, both majoring in journalism. Loretta graduated from Drake in 1936; but in his senior year, Wendell became ill with a severe case of Bright’s disease, which forced him to put his studies on hold.

“They told me that I’d be better off living in a warmer climate where I was less likely to retrieve respiratory diseases,” he said.

Wendell moved to Austin, Texas and gradu-ated from the University of Texas with a degree in marketing. After school, he got a job at Sears Roe-buck in Dallas. While Wendell was working in the city of Dallas, Lo-retta was off doing social work in Council Bluffs and the two had yet to know their paths would cross again.

After three years in Dallas, another illness struck Wendell, which led him to pack up and move home to rest and recover.

“Loretta called me and said she was sorry to hear I was recuperat-ing. I said, ‘Well, come down and see me,’ and she said, ‘No, you come up and see me.’ I said, ‘OK, tomorrow night I’ll come up, Saturday night, and see you,” Wendell said. “By the summer, we knew we were in love

and I proposed.”The two were en-

gaged but in January of 1943 Wendell’s draft sta-tus changed and he was off to the Army. The war wouldn’t separate the two. On May 15, 1943, Wendell and Loretta wed after basic training at Camp Crowder in Neosho, Mo.

Wendell was sent to England and France until the war in Europe was over. He and Loretta moved to Sacramento, Calif. where he was sta-tioned while the war in the Pacific was still tak-ing place.

“I was very fortunate in the Army. I never saw a German solider until after he was a prisoner of war,” Wendell said.

Wendell was dis-charged in the fall of 1945, when he and Lo-retta returned to Iowa. On April 9, 1946, the two had their first daughter, Martha “Mar-ti” Rosemary Wendt.

While living in Des Moines, Wendell put an ad in the Des Moines Register looking for work which resulted in four job opportunities, one of which was at the Newton Daily News.

Former newspaper publisher L.O. Brewer interviewed Wendell and the two hit it off. In September 1947, Wendell began as office manager at the Newton Daily News. The family moved to Newton April 1, 1948 and their sec-ond daughter Catherine Louise was born in Oc-tober.

Wendell and Loretta settled in Newton where they raised their girls and established a life in southwest Newton. Lo-retta was fond of gar-dening, while Wendell stayed active in service organizations like Ro-tary. The two were also involved in their church community at First Pres-byterian Church.

Wendell was promot-ed to assistant publisher under E.K. Shaw in 1960 where he fulfilled a large role at the paper.

As assistant publisher, and often times publish-er, Wendell did a variety of jobs and was admired by his colleagues.

“He’s an outstanding individual, very active, fair and dedicated news-paper employee,” said former Newton Daily News commercial print-ing manager John De-

Grado. “He had a way about him. You respect-ed him and wanted to do right by him.”

Wendell helped edit the newspaper before print and hire employ-ees, but his primary role was to oversee business finances and accounting.

“I didn’t play golf, I didn’t get out much. I liked my job and I liked figures. I liked the people, many of whom I hired,” he said. “I en-joyed being publisher of the paper, getting the paper out. The paper is always changing, each day is always a new day.”

In 1980, at age 65, years after Marti and Catherine graduated from Newton High School, Wendell retired from the Newton Daily News.

“The first day I was retired the president of the Maytag Company came out to our house and came to offer me a job, which I didn’t take,” Wendell said.

Throughout retire-ment, Wendell and Lo-retta enjoyed their time together, in relaxation and recreation. They enjoyed spending more time at the house, in the yard gardening and es-pecially traveling, usu-ally one winter and one summer vacation a year. They also enjoyed be-ing grandparents to their grandsons David and Hollis.

Wendell and Loretta

also joined peace organi-zation Beyond War and the Jasper County Peace Committee which in-spired him to approach former editor Paul Lane about writing a few col-umns for the paper on world peace, as well as domestic and interna-tional issues. This ven-ture lead to more than 1,000 “We Are One” guest columns over the course of 13 years.

More than a 100 years has gone by now since Wendell was born, and nearly 100 for Loretta, who until recently was in good health. Wen-dell recalled the high-light of both he and his wife’s life was having two daughters, raising them and following their lives over the years.

“Loretta has a more agreeable personality than I do, and we never had any big quils,” Wen-dell said. “She’s been a really wonderful wife. We’ve had a wonderful life.”

Wendell and Loretta have made a great im-pact on not only their family, but the commu-nity as well.

“He’s taught me 1,000 things, I couldn’t narrow it down to one, but just knowing he was there, you could always go to Wendell for the answer,” DeGrado said.

The president released a nearly $4 trillion budget proposal to Congress in Febru-ary that w o u l d g r o w t h e govern-m e n t . Ameri-ca needs to grow t h e econo-my.

T h e p r e s i -dent says that now is not the time to “trim his sails” but many Americans are asking for Washington to change course and stop sending federal spending into a budgetary red sea.

Unfortunately, the president’s budget drops anchor on a tax-and-spend framework that would raise taxes and add to the national debt as far as the eye can see. It also proposes more than $2 trillion in sweeping new taxes and new en-titlements. At the same time, it ignores long-term solvency issues facing the nation’s public health and retirement entitlement programs.

The president’s plan would blow through the budget spending caps that he signed into law in 2011. Federal tax receipts would climb to a re-cord $3.52 trillion. That means Uncle Sam’s share of the economy would consume 18.7 percent of GDP. Furthermore, federal spending would soar to nearly $4 trillion in fiscal year 2016. The President’s math doesn’t ever add up to a balanced budget. Spending would outpace revenue by one-half trillion dollars or so. His budget projects the total national debt would climb from $18.1 trillion today to $26 trillion in the next decade.

If this fiscal ship were allowed to set sail, man-datory spending pro-grams, such as Medicare, Social Security and inter-est payments on the debt, eventually would put the squeeze on discretionary spending for national de-fense and public services, from public infrastructure to public health and pub-

lic safety.The president’s budget

would tax more, borrow more and spend more.[ Instead, Washington needs to tax less, borrow less and spend less.

As a senior member of the Senate Budget Com-mittee, I’m working to re-store fiscal discipline and bring fiscal responsibility back to the federal bud-geting process. Article I, Section 8 vests primary fiscal authority to the people’s branch to raise, borrow and spend pub-lic resources through the legislative process.

The Budget Act of 1974 calls for Congress to approve an annual budget resolution. From there, congressional appro-priators are supposed to work through the com-mittee system to allocate money for specific pur-poses in a dozen spend-ing bills. Congress has adopted a series of statu-tory mechanisms over the years to rein in irrespon-sible spending, from se-questration processes to budget caps and raising points of order.

By most any mea-sure, the federal budget-ing system is broken. It isn’t working, so let’s fix it. That’s why I’m co-sponsoring common sense, structural reforms that would create a two-year budgeting cycle. Congress would set a blueprint and authorize spending in the first year. And during the second, Congress would scruti-nize how tax dollars are being spent to learn what works and what doesn’t and to prioritize needs for the following year. Bi-ennial budgeting would help bring sanity and certainty to the process. By that measure, Con-gress can work to give the taxpaying public better value, better quality and better bang for the buck.

Too many cycles of stop-gap spending bills create fiscal uncertain-ties that lead to ineffi-cient and ineffective use of scarce tax dollars. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I’m co-sponsoring pro-posals that would add a balanced budget amend-ment to our Constitution.

President Barack Obama committed the ultimate political blunder the other day. He blurted out the truth.

Speaking at the National Prayer Break-fast, he warned his Christian brethren against “getting up on our high horse” when condemn-ing the violence of Muslim ter-rorists.

“During the Crusades and the Inquisition, people commit-ted terrible deeds in the name of Christ,” he said. “In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”

Naturally, all hell broke loose.The Rupert Murdoch army

launched into full attack, sup-ported by Rush Limbaugh air strikes. Rabid Fox News com-mentators, foaming at the mouth, fought each other for control of the mics to condemn the presi-dent’s remarks as “un-American” and, even worse, liberal. He was derided as irreligious, weak, and not a real American.

It was to be expected.People will forgive a politi-

cian for telling lies. Sweet decep-tions, after all, are what politics are all about. But let him speak the truth just once, even inadver-tently, and he becomes the object of scorn, ridicule, and contempt.

Remember the case of George

Romney?Running for president in

1967, he confessed that he had been “brainwashed” by Pentagon propaganda into believing that the Vietnam War was winnable. And he had been, of course, as had most of the American public at the time.

But as soon as Romney ut-tered this truthful statement, his presidential hopes vanished in a blink — never to be seen again.

I’d like to note that this lesson wasn’t lost on George’s son. As nearly as can be determined, Mitt Romney never told the truth once during his 2012 campaign. He lost anyway, proving that it takes more than a lack of honesty to fool the American people.

But back to Obama. What he was trying to say, at an inter-faith event, was that we shouldn’t hold all Muslims responsible for the acts of a relative few. Christianity also has a skeleton or two in its historical closet.

The Christian right, which includes most of the Republicans in Congress, pounced.

The Crusades were a righ-teous response to Islamic aggres-sion, they said. The Inquisition? Highly overrated as an atroc-ity. And Jim Crow? That was “a thousand years ago,” said Lim-baugh.

To which one can only say, “Oh come on.”

The truth is, you can act as though terrorist violence against the West is unprovoked. But it’s not. It’s the bitter fruit of the

past 100 years of subjugation of the Arab and Muslim peoples by Western powers, thirsty for the oil beneath the Middle East.

For a century the United States and its allies systemati-cally subverted any suggestion of democracy in the region in favor of vicious thugs we could control through bribery.

And when a popularly elected politician would surface every once in a while, we’d get rid of him and install our own pup-pet. Think of the popularly elect-ed Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran, whom the CIA overthrew in 1953, replacing him with the brutal and corrupt Shah.

That’s the genesis of the mess we’re dealing with now. Not Is-lam, not pure evil, but 100 years of Western domination.

In any case, it’s more than a little hypocritical for the Chris-tian right to be up in arms over the perversion of Christianity.

This is a group, after all, whose representatives in Congress have sought to take health insurance from the poorest workers among us. They’ve tried to deport young Americans because their par-ents brought them here without papers many years ago. They’ve supported the use of torture and fought to cut off unemployment insurance to the long-term un-employed.

I’m proud of the teens in Henry County for helping shat-ter the myths about marijuana use. They partnered with other teens across the U.S., and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to reveal some startling facts. As reported in the Mt. Pleasant news, in con-junction with National Drug Facts Week, the teens listed one major fact each day for some of the best reporting I’ve read on the subject of marijuana use.

“Marijuana is a highly ad-dictive substance, which means individuals who use the drug have difficulty controlling their drug use and often cannot stop even though they may want to.” “Marijuana is unsafe if you are behind the wheel. It is the most common illegal drug involved in auto fatalities.” “Marijuana is linked to school failure. Mari-

juana’s negative effects on at-tention, memory and learning can last for days and sometimes weeks — especially if the drug is used often.” “Students who smoke marijuana tend to get lower grades and are more like-ly to drop out of high school.” “Regular use of marijuana has been linked to depression, anxi-ety, loss of drive and loss of in-terest.” “Research also shows marijuana use can lower an in-dividual’s IQ if smoked regu-larly during a person’s teenage years.” “Regular use of marijua-na has been linked to problems with attention and memory loss. Use of the drug can make learn-ing new and complex ideas dif-ficult.”

Coupled with my own expe-rience with marijuana use, these facts are spot-on. I’ll add anoth-er item to the above facts. For

me, marijuana-plus-alcohol was a one-way ticket to blackout. I got in a lot of trouble on pot.

With four states now al-lowing the recreational use of marijuana, 24 states allowing its medicinal use, and Iowa trying to determine where it stands, accurate information is crucial.

I certainly sympathize with those people who have certain medical ailments for which only marijuana seems to lesson the pain or calm the symptoms. My experience with marijuana is the opposite. Pain seemed to be heightened by it. My concern is that if marijuana is legalized in Iowa for medicinal purposes, it will be chronically abused. Like Viagra being distributed like candy, anyone with a hangnail will be eligible.

I know the old alcohol ex-cuse. If alcohol is legal, why not

pot? Every one of the five talk-ing points above could be used to describe alcohol. Forget alco-hol! It’s here to stay. But we have the opportunity to say no to one more mind-altering chemical.

I also fear that if we loosen the reins on marijuana, other, harder drugs will follow. Like cocaine. Like heroin (formerly used as an analgesic and seda-tive).

I guess if it comes down to it, and it will, I could go along with the legalization in Iowa of mari-juana for medicinal purposes, knowing full well that it will be abused, and trickle-down to our youth. But please, not for recre-ational use. Recreation is in the mind only.

Student art to be featured

Eleven students from Newton Com-munity School District will have art work in the 2015 State Youth Art Month exhibit at the State Histori-cal Building in Des Moines during the month of March. The opening reception for student artists is March 7.

The exhibit and re-ception are free and open to the public.

Paddlefish fishing season opens

March 1Iowa anglers pur-

chased nearly 700 spe-cial paddlefish licenses for the opportunity to catch secretive fish in the Missouri and Big Sioux rivers for the first time in 30 years.

The paddlefish season runs from March 1 to April 15. A paddlefish license is required for the Mis-souri and Big Sioux rivers, but not for the Mississippi and Des Moines rivers.

The slot limit re-quiring the release of all 35- to 45-inch fish protects the primary breeding stock. Most of the fish harvested will likely be below the slot limit. The firm white flesh of the paddlefish is excellent table fare as long as the red meat near the skin is trimmed off.

All 50 nonresident licenses were sold be-fore the Jan. 31 dead-line.

Chapter K-EN TTTChapter K-EN T.T.T. met for its

February meeting at Park Center Feb. 10. The group was hosted by Betty Hotchkin and Jeanne Bridenstine. The evening began with dessert. Vice President Rose Evans called the meet-ing to order, and the secretary and treasurer’s reports were given.

Committees reported on the lat-est actions, including an outing for the holidays with the camp girls that was enjoyable for all. They were taken out for dinner and to the community theatre play. The cheese ball sale this year was successful and the group had found ways to sell the remaining items at venues in town. It was decided to continue that project next fall.

Sate convention in April will be at-tended by President Val McKee and she asks that others plan to join her. The state will also be visiting our chapter some time this year. Member Loretta Wendt will be turning 100 in March. She and her husband will be celebrating those land mark birthdays together Feb. 14 with an open house at Park Center. Our group will plan to arrive at 2 p.m. for a group picture to send to the national office for publica-tion in Tidings.

The next meeting will be March 10 at the home of Shirley Birken-holz with a program by Brett Doer-ring. The meeting was adjourned and greetings from ‘snow bird’ Val McKee were shared.

Skiff Home Care encourages HPV vaccines to prevent cancer

Jasper County is joining the Iowa Department of Public Health in a new effort focused on improving human papil-lomavirus vaccination rates among Iowa’s teens and pre-teens.

Among adolescents aged 11 to 18, 66 percent have received the Tdap vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis; by comparison, only 19 percent have received the

three doses of HPV vaccine recommended for full protec-tion. The HPV vaccine is de-signed to protect against cervi-cal cancer.

The “You are the Key” cam-paign targets parents, the deci-sion-makers when it comes to vaccinating their children.

“About 79 million Ameri-cans are currently infected with HPV,” said Tammy Stapp, di-rector of Skiff Home Care/Jasper County Public Health. “About 14 million people be-

come newly infected each year. In most cases, HPV infection will go away and the individual will never know they had it; however, when HPV does not go away, it can cause a variety of cancers, including cervical cancer. Parents are encouraged to take action now to protect their child against a cancer that can be prevented with a simple vaccination.”

About 33,000 HPV-asso-ciated cancers occur annually in the U.S., including 12,600

HPV-associated cancers in males. The HPV vaccine pro-tects against the most com-mon types of human papillo-mavirus, which are responsible for about 90 percent of cervical cancers.

Cancer often takes years to develop after a person is in-fected with HPV and an in-fected individual can spread the virus even when they have no signs or symptoms. The HPV vaccine works best when given in early adolescence, as it

allows for immunity to devel-op and offer better protection as a child matures. Both boys and girls are recommended to receive three doses of vaccine for full protection.

If you have an adolescent who has not received the HPV vaccine, talk to your health-care provider about how it can benefit your child. For more information about Skiff Home Care/Jasper County Public Health, visit www.skiffmed.com.

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Ma-son,” and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 7-year-old daughter and have just found out we are having another girl. The day we learned her gender, Mason dropped a bomb on me. He said he’s not in love with me any-more, and it has been eating at him for a while. He said he was too scared to tell me sooner.

He won’t talk to anyone and doesn’t seem to want to fix it. We both came from broken homes and had always agreed not to do that to our kids. But I can’t act like everything is normal under the same roof.

He says he’ll stay at his brother’s place at night after our daughter goes to sleep. He’s at work before she’s up for school anyway. We agreed that if she wakes up at night and calls out for him, I should tell her he got “called in to work.” Please give me some advice. – BROKEN IN NEVADA

DEAR BROKEN: By the age of 7, your daughter is old enough to recognize tension between her parents. She is also aware enough to comprehend that her fa-ther is no longer living there if he’s spend-ing his nights elsewhere, particularly if he intends to carry on this charade for any length of time.

You say your husband “won’t talk to anyone,” but he owes YOU some straight answers. If he hasn’t been in love with you “for a while,” he shouldn’t have fathered a second child with you.

Would his feelings be different if the baby you’re carrying was a boy? Could there be another woman involved? Your husband owes it to you and those chil-dren to act responsibly and at least try to save his marriage. Running away is not the answer.

In the meantime, my advice is to talk to a lawyer and take your cues from her or him about protecting yourself and your children financially. Doing so does not mean you “must” file divorce papers, but you will have someone who isn’t emotionally involved looking out for your interests.

DEAR ABBY: What should a single,

straight woman do if she is attracted to and interested in a man she is “pretty sure” is gay? What should she do in the same situation if he is openly gay? Should she ignore her feelings? Tell him? – AT-TRACTED TO HIM IN WASH-INGTON

DEAR ATTRACTED: If the wom-an tells her gay friend how she feels, he may be flattered, or it may make him un-comfortable. That’s the risk she takes. As to whether she should ignore her feelings, if she wants a romantic partner who can reciprocate her physical attraction, she will have to concentrate on finding some-one who is straight. Trust me on that.

DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine, “Fran,” died nine years ago. Prior to her death, I had little interaction with her husband, “Dexter.” As a matter of fact, when I met Fran, she was divorced, but she and Dexter re-united.

Dexter and I are now in love and are planning to marry. He is 66 and I am 61. A lot of people feel it is wrong for us to be together. Your thoughts, please? – GO-ING FOR HAPPINESS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

DEAR GOING: “A lot of people” are unhappy in their lives and judgmental. They sometimes poke their noses into matters that are none of their business. If you and Dexter want to be happy, avoid the naysayers as if they have a virus – be-cause the kind of ill will they spread is contagious.

Man died at hospital after stabbing, police say

DES MOINES — Authorities say a suspect has been taken in for questioning about the stabbing death of a 29-year-old man in Des Moines.

Officers and medics who responded to a 911 call around 10 p.m. Wednesday found the wounded man. He was taken to Mer-cy Medical Center, where he later died. His name hasn’t been released. The Des Moines Police Department says officers have interviewed witnesses. The suspect’s name also hasn’t been released.

Texas company opens operation in northern Iowa

HAMPTON — A Texas company has moved into a northern Iowa industrial park and expects to hire 15 to 20 people.

and was even involved — Fish-er was sent to Florida while employed at the CDR with a $36,000 cash payment for a marijuana load. On the stand Wednesday, Snedeker said from June 1982 to March 1983 he trafficked three to four loads of marijuana weighing 300 to 350 pounds each.

Referencing statements Sne-deker made to law enforcement in 1983 and in his Dec. 2014 deposition, Addington revealed the former ranch owner knew Fisher worked as an drug infor-mant for local police by referenc-ing a conversation with ranch employee and Fisher’s friend Jeff Illingworth in which he warned Snedeker that Fisher was go-ing to snitch. Snedeker said he thought, at the time, Fisher was only informing police about smaller traffickers moving 5 to 10 pounds of drugs.

Snedeker was granted immu-nity for drug violations by law enforcement in 1983 for state-ments regarding Gregory and Fisher’s murders, and the statute of limitations on drug activity from that time has expired. But the defense claims Snedeker has refused to give up the names of his former Florida drug contact in fear of retaliation — names which the defense believes could provide a person with motive in the killings.

Snedeker argued that he wouldn’t give their identities be-cause they are “my friends,” and the former CDR owner also told jurors he considered Fisher a friend and was even asked by Fisher’s family to be a pallbearer at his funeral. But Addington read a statement from Snedeker’s 1983 police statement to contra-dict the claim that the witness wasn’t afraid of the Florida drug contacts.

“Immunity is one thing, sign-ing my death warrant is another,” Snedeker told investigators.

That statement was not ad-missible in the jury’s presence but was part of a line of question-ing which led the court to allow jurors to hear information about Snedeker’s drug trafficking.

Cross examination of Sne-deker is scheduled to continue Thursday.

Victim’s siblings speakThe brother and sister of vic-

tim Melisa Gregory took the stand Wednesday recalling the relationship their sister shared with Fisher as well as the days leading to their 1983 murders. Scott and Lisa Gregory told jurors of a visit Supino made to their home late at night just months before their sister’s mur-der. They both said Supino was looking for Fisher at their resi-dence, and Melisa Gregory came running downstairs and attacked the defendant. Lisa Gregory indicated her sister was a “light sleeper” and thought she prob-ably heard Supino’s voice.

Scott Gregory said Melisa “launched” at Supino and “got into a fist fight in a snowbank.” This was the second incident referenced by a state’s witness during the trial recounting a physical fight between Supino and Gregory.

During his testimony, Scott Gregory called Melisa “a won-derful sister and his best friend.” He told jurors he was staying with a friend the night of the murders.

Lisa Gregory said Melisa and Fisher had dinner at the home of her mother Ida Reynolds be-fore leaving to spend the night at the CDR. Fisher had been living at Reynolds’ house with Melisa Gregory before tempo-rarily moving to the ranch. Lisa Gregory said the two returned briefly to get a jacket before once again departing for the ranch. That, the witness said, was the last time she saw her sister Meli-sa alive.

In an offer of proof, defense attorneys Addington and Jill Eimermann probed both wit-

nesses, without jurors present, regarding their knowledge of Fisher’s involvement with al-leged drug trafficking at the CDR. Lisa Gregory told Ei-mermann she had heard Melisa say Fisher went to Florida and returned with hash oil and was considering selling the mari-juana extract for profit. Gregory said she saw the oil, held in a peanut butter jar, but did not know where Fisher obtained the substance. Lisa Gregory also tes-tified she knew Fisher and her sister occasionally used drugs.

Addington also questioned Scott Gregory about an encoun-ter he had with two men hold-ing black suitcases while visiting the CDR. He was sitting in the trailer, where the murders would later occur, with Melisa Gregory and Fisher. The witness said the men indicated they knew Melisa Gregory and Fisher, but told Scott Gregory he would have to leave.

Iowa 5th District Court Judge Terry Rickers stuck with his pre-trial ruling in the case stating any evidence linking Fisher and Melisa Gregory’s murders to a

“drug hit” theory would have to come from original sources, and the defense would have to pro-vide the identity of a person they believe to have the motive to kill the victims in this manner.

Addington told Judge Rick-ers he believes the defense is be-ing “held to a higher standard” than the state in this case. Ei-mermann also argued that the 32-year gap between the events of March 3, 1983 and the trial were limiting their ability to mount a “drug hit” defense.

“This is an example of yet another instance where we are struggling with witnesses who no longer remember,” Eimer-mann said. “The fact is, they no longer remembering prevents us from putting forth our de-fense and our theory of the case. That is a direct result of the state waiting 32 years to bring these charges.”

Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen rebutted, reminding the court there is no statute of limitation in the case, and the state intends to present evidence acquired as late as 2014 yet this week.

Autopsy reportThe state also presented more

forensic evidence Wednesday, calling Dr. Jonathan Thompson — assistant medical examiner for the state of Iowa. He had been assigned to the case in early 2014 and examined Melisa Gregory and Fisher’s autopsy report and autopsy photos taken in 1983.

He told jurors Fisher sustained 14 chop wounds to the head, one piercing his eye. Melisa Gregory sustained 13 chop wounds during the murder with facial fracturing. Thompson said the wounds were consistent with a hammer-style object or something with a sharp edge. The murder weapon was never found in the case.

The forensic pathologist also testified the wounds were con-sistent with a left to right striking motion. Thompson was asked by Jacobsen how many left-handed people there are in the world, and Thompson replied 10 percent of the population have a dominate left hand.

But during cross examination Thompson did note several flaws in the autopsy report, including improper dating and lack of de-tail in the description of certain wounds. The witness also admit-ted he could not tell if the killer was left or right-handed from the autopsy photos or which victim was killed first.

The handedness of the killer has been a key piece of evidence for the state throughout the trial, as Thompson testified today the “chops” on Gregory appear to originated from a left-handed strike. Prior testimony from Jas-per County Jail staff indicate Su-pino defines herself as ambidex-trous.

Multiple Powerball winnersThe Associated Press

DES MOINES — Tickets in North Caro-lina, Puerto Rico and Texas have matched all six numbers to split a $564.1 million Powerball jack-pot, lottery officials said Thursday.

Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager and production coordinator for the Multi-State Lot-tery Association, said the Puerto Rico ticket was the first Powerball jackpot winner ever sold outside the continental United States. Puerto Rico joined Powerball less than a year ago.

Center. The board decided to allo-cate the additional money because they felt it was a justified use for a countywide service, but will review the amount again for the budget next year.

“For RSVP, that is almost a crisis situation for them. With Skiff cut-ting their funding that drastically that’s probably endangering the pro-gram,” Supervisor Joe Brock said.

The board also agreed to a $5,000 increase to the county fair board to total $15,000. When the fair board presented its budget to the supervi-sors, they included future projects of two additional roof barns, repainting the pavilion after flood damage and new hog pens. The increase is once again established to be a one-time addition and the board will review the budget again for next year.

Domestic violence cover-age through the Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence had no

increase in funds but did request the use of $2,000. In years past, $2,500 had been approved for the program. Nancy Robertson, a representative for the program, said that any money the program receives from the coun-ty will stay in Jasper County.

The Jasper County Museum and Veterans Affairs are projected to receive no additional funds from the board. The museum requested $2,500 but the board explained that it was previously established that those programs were not truly countywide and would not receive any funds.

The board spent time discussing the Veterans Affairs budget before decided not to approve any raise in the budget and to only cover neces-sary costs. An amount of $25,000 was discussed to be added to the budget for a potential part-time em-ployee, but the board decided against allocating that money and continued with the budget as is. The board is waiting to get additional informa-tion from Veterans Affairs before reaching a final decision.

charges related to the alleged bomb threats. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and demanded a speedy trial.

Authorities say Meloche made two phone calls indi-cating a bomb would deto-nate at the courthouse on Dec. 29. Online court records show Meloche was scheduled to be sentenced on the felony drug charges that morning at the courthouse.

The threat led to the evacuation and closing of the courthouse until the premise was cleared, and the closing of some downtown busi-nesses.

Jasper County Sher-iff John Halferty said after multiple sweeps of the prop-erty, no suspicious devices or packages were located.

After further investigation

Halferty issued an arrest war-rant for Meloche the evening of the incident. Meloche was discovered at a Newton resi-dence the following day and charged with two counts of false report of the placement of an explosive or incendiary device, a Class D felony. Hal-ferty credited information from the public and social media with helping to locate Meloche.

During his arrest depu-ties found drug paraphernalia on Meloche. A subsequent search of Meloche at the Jasper County Jail resulted in finding additional contra-band, including controlled substances. He was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, a simple mis-demeanor and possessing contraband, a Class D felony. The simple misdemeanor charge has been suspended, pending the outcome of the other charges.

Cardinal swimmers ready for state meetLoose and ready to

compete are Newton High’s boys who quali-fied for Saturday’s 2015 Iowa High School Boys’ State Swimming Championships.

Senior Jake Lensing and junior Isaak Webb make a return trip to the state high school swim meet. Junior Aaron King and freshman Lucas Warner have not com-peted in the Iowa high school state meet but have competed in “big meets” before swimming at the club level.

The state meet begins at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Marshalltown YMCA/YWCA swim-ming pool. Admission for all spectators is $10.

Joining the four qual-ifiers is sophomore Re-ese Rosenquist as the team alternate. King was in that spot a year ago.

“It’s exciting. This year I get to swim at state and not just watch,” King said. King anchors the Newton 200-yard medley relay with the freestyle. He also swims on the 200 freestyle relay.

Newton qualified in both relay races. The Car-dinals’ 200 medley team was a district champion and the 200 freestyle re-lay took second at district. Lensing, Webb, Warner and King recorded New-ton High record times in both races.

Newton’s 200 medley goes in with the ninth fastest time, 1 minute, 38.13 seconds, and the freestyle relay is seeded at No. 10 at 1:28.26.

“I think we’re sitting in real good spots with our relays at state,” said Dave Hook, Newton head coach. “Being in the middle lanes of the

second heat is a perfect place to be. We’ll have fast competition on both sides. We’re out to win our heat, drop our time and place in the top six to get on the podium.”

Every swimmer’s goal is to reach the top six in an event to be on the podium and receive a state medal.

“I just want to have

another good meet,” said Webb, who is qualified in four events at the state meet. “As a team, we’re just out to make it fun and enjoy the competition.”

Webb is a district champion in the 100 butterfly and 100 breast-stroke in school record times. He has the third-fastest time in the but-

terfly, 51.73 seconds, go-ing into the state meet. Webb is seeded eighth in the breaststroke, 59.54 seconds, and Lensing is 19th, 1:01.45.

“I want to swim a sub-one minute in the breaststroke,” said Lens-ing, who also is qualified in four events. “In the 50 freestyle, I’d like to get a 21-second time. I’ve put in some extra technique work with Coach Hook and Coach (Sarah) Pat-terson and my other coaches. I applied it in my last 50 of the 200 freestyle relay at district and got my best split ever. I hope it helps me at state.”

Lensing is seeded at No. 23 in the 50 freestyle race, qualifying with a time of 22.37 seconds. Warner will swim in the 100 freestyle race, going in with the 17th-fastest time of 49.02 seconds.

Lensing swims the breaststroke leg of the medley relay while War-ner leads off with the backstroke. Webb swims the butterfly leg.

“For the relays, I want to go out and not let these guys down. It’s ex-citing going to my first state meet, but I am a bit nervous,” Warner said. “I’ve always been the older guy in my age group and in faster heats, but this time I’m the young guy in the slow heat. I hope to compete well in the 100 freestyle. I want my turns to look

good and swim a low 47 (second) time.

Rosenquist knows the only way he’ll compete at state this season is if someone gets hurt or sick. He said going as the alternate gives him an opportunity to see what a state meet is and what to work for next year.

“If someone should get hurt, it would be a great opportunity for me to swim. But more important right now is to have another week of practicing and hang-ing out with my team-mates,” Rosenquist said.

Hook and assistant coach Sarah Patterson worked the Cardinals hard with yardage in the pool Monday. Hook said the rest of the week is about decreasing the yardage work and in-creasing intensity.

“We’re doing the same thing we did in preparing for district. That worked well for us,” Hook said. “This is a great group of guys. Our main goal for Sat-urday is try to improve our times. As long as we improve our times, we’ve had a successful meet.”

Saturday’s IHSAA state swim meet will be video streamed live on the internet through the NFHS Network. Go to NFHSNetwork.com for more information.

Prairie City-Mon-roe’s Tristan Clark needs just one more win to set a new school record for victories in a season. But if the Mustang senior wants to advance to the Iowa High School State Wrestling Champion-ships next week, Clark, along with eight other area wrestlers, will need to win twice at Satur-day’s Class 1A and 2A district meets.

Top two wrestlers from each sectional last weekend advanced to districts and half of the remaining four wrestlers

in each weight class at each district will move on.

PCM coach Cory Waddell hopes Clark, and teammates Xavier Miller and Ron Mar-shall, is part of the the group that moves on to Wells Fargo Arena.

“It’s one of the toughest districts in 2A for sure,” Waddell said of PCM’s district meet at Fairfield. “But if we wrestle like we did last Saturday, I like our chances.”

Clark (126), Miller (132) and Marshall (170) will all take part in the district tournament at Fairfield that includes

10 wrestlers from sec-ond-ranked Mediapolis, three ranked grapplers from Albia and pair of Columbus Commu-nity wrestlers who are ranked.

Over in Pleasantville will be a Class 1A dis-trict tournament featur-ing five wrestlers from Lynnville-Sully and two each from Collins-Max-well/Baxter and Colfax-Mingo.

Three of those district qualifiers were sectional champs at BGM — Lynnville-Sully’s Cole Nickell (113) and Shan-non Dunsbergen (285)

Nine area wrestlers seek state tourney berths this weekend

CARDINAL LANES BOWLING

No. 13 UNI claims 12th straight win

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Seth Tuttle scored 23 points and 13th-ranked North-ern Iowa routed Illinois State 83-64 on Wednes-day night for its 12th straight victory.

Deon Mitchell had 12 points for the Pan-thers (23-2, 12-1), who matched Kentucky with their 23rd win.

UNI built a 17-point halftime lead and cruised to its 16th straight home win.

and CMB’s Charles Robertson (220).

The Hawks also advanced Josh Dunsbergen (106), Noah Zylstra (182) and Blake Weh-rle (195) to the next round, while CMB’s Jake Hennick (126) and Colfax-Mingo’s Richard Blom (138) and Ty Carlson (113) also moved on.

“We have wrestled some of those guys before,” Lynnville-Sully coach Steve Northcutt said. “It will be tough, but I told the kids that they take half of the guys who are in it to state and anything can happen at districts. I am pretty excited about it. I think our chances are pretty good.”

Clark enters the Fairfield district tourney as the top seed at 126 pounds. The last time he lost a match was Jan. 3 at the Solon Dual Tournament. Both of his losses this season came on that day.

To win the district title, Clark (40-2) may have to knock off third-ranked Shea Swafford of Mediapolis in the final.

First things first though. Clark, who went 1-2 at last year’s state tournament, opens with Washington’s Austin Ha-zelett (33-8) in the semifinals, while Swafford (44-2) faces Centerville’s Noah Coatney (21-19).

Marshall (30-4) will have two ranked wrestlers in his 170-pound weight class. The PCM senior faces sixth-ranked Tucker Morrison (37-3) of Columbus Community in the semifinals and a win would like send him to the finals against fourth-ranked Luke Erickson (42-6) of Me-diapolis. Erickson takes on Al-bia’s Ben Mason (19-20) in his semifinal match.

“Ron has really taken it to another level since the con-ference tournament,” Wad-dell said. “He is working hard, listening well and just wants more than the other guy right now.”

Miller (34-5) spent most of his season at 120 but decided on conference tournament weekend that a move to 132 would be permanent.

He was the runner-up at that weight class that week-

end and took second again at the sectional meet last week-end. The Mus-tang sopho-more will get 1 0 t h - r a n k e d Cody McNeil (38-10) of Me-diapolis in the semifinals.

The other side of the brack-et features second-ranked Bradley Irwin (45-7) of Cen-terville and Louisa-Musca-tine’s Austin Leopard (30-9).

Shannon Dunsbergen’s sec-tional title was his first cham-pionship this season.

He comes in as the top seed with a record of 32-15 and will face Eddyville-Blakes-burg-Fremont’s Luke Welch (31-11) in the opening round. Sigourney-Keota’s Bryce Brown (25-8) and West Mar-shall’s Cole Gilmore (28-19), who Dunsbergen beat in the sectional final, are in the other semfinal.

Brown pinned Shannon Dunsbergen in their dual ear-lier this season.

Nickell (36-11) also has a bracket with no ranked wres-tlers in it. He will face EBF’s Adam Proctor in the semifi-nals, while Carlson (25-20) faces Moravia’s Nicholas Mar-tin (34-4).

Proctor defeated Nick-ell 11-8 during during their team’s dual earlier this season.

Robertson comes in as the top seed at 220 pounds. The Raider junior is 23-7 on the

year and gets Van Buren’s Dakota LaRue (30-13) in the semifinals.

The other semifinal pits HLV’s Ed-mond Herring (34-11) against Sigourney-Ke-ota’s Noah Bo-

ender (29-11).“It feels a little crazy. I re-

ally didn’t expect to advance,” said Robertson, who had never wrestled at sectionals prior to last weekend’s tourney at BGM. “But I wrestled my heart out, and it paid off.”

Both Zylstra and Wherle will have one ranked wrestler in their respective bracket.

Zylstra (37-14) took second to BGM’s Colton Massengale at last weekend’s sectional and that is who the Hawk senior will face in the finals if both win their opening match.

Massengale (43-3) is ranked No. 9 and gets Mora-via’s Quinton Castell (29-10) in the semifinals, while Zylstra faces Sigourney-Keota fresh-man Kaleb Reeves (28-15) in his semifinal. Zylstra defeated Reeves by fall earlier this year.

Wehrle (7-6) has the tough-est semifinal match of any Hawk wrestler. He challenges EBF’s Hunter Johnston (39-3), who is ranked fifth. The winner of that match faces the winner between West Mar-shall’s Alex Schaper (28-15) and Pleasantville’s Joe Kauff-man (30-8).

Johnston defeated Wehrle with a first-period pin earlier this season.

Josh Dunsbergen (20-11) will not face a ranked wres-tler in his 106-pound bracket, but his semifinal opponent —North Mahaska’s Tyler Stras-ser — is 37-4 on the season. The other semifinal is West Marshall’s Hunter Pfantz (29-16) and EBF’s Tanner Rea (19-12).

On paper, CMB’s Hennick and Colfax-Mingo’s Blom have the toughest paths to the state tournament.

Both of their brackets fea-ture two ranked wrestlers.

Hennick (26-10) squares off against second-ranked Bri-ar Cochran (39-2) of Moravia in the semifinals and the other semifinal features No. 6 Jacob Krakow (44-6) of Iowa Valley and EBF’s Dakota Boyer (31-13).

CMB coach Mike Les-lie knew his 126-pound se-nior would have some tough matches. And he expects most won’t give Hennick a chance to advance to state.

“Jake will have some tough matches,” Leslie said after sec-tionals. “The Moravia kid is really tough. I am sure there are people that are already counting him out. Anything can happen at this point in the season.”

Blom (31-12) will face sec-ond-ranked Jeren Glosser (48-0) of EBF in his semifinal.

On the other side of the bracket is seventh-ranked Drake Healey (47-4) of Iowa Valley and Sigourney-Keota’s Noah Reeves (9-4).

“They are going to have to beat someone who is maybe seeded above them or has a better record,” Colfax-Mingo coach Bryan Poulter said about Blom and Carlson. “They have to get to the point where they stay in the match and keep themselves in position to use the third period to their ad-vantage.”

Astrograph

People who have synaesthe-sia experience a blending of their senses. They may ex-perience a taste when hear-ing a sound, or hear a sound when they are receiving visual information. Today represents a kind of cosmic synaesthesia, as the Sagit-tarius moon has us craving new blends of sensation. Get out and experience the world!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 12). You’ll develop a special humor and bond with someone over the next six weeks. You’ll also get on a lucky streak work-wise. Save the extra money and resources you’ll net for an opportunity later in the year. April will be romantic. Finally, you’ll get acceptance and support for a venture in May. Travel in October. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 2, 24 and 18. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The young, inexperi-enced and impressionable need a positive example, and you’ll be the ideal model, mostly because you take the time to be kind to

others no matter how busy things get. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know better than to present a problem without also proposing possible solutions. For this reason, you’ll get your needs met with very little resistance. You make it easy to please you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In certain ways, you are your own boss. And yet, you still have to report to another person and do everything you can to keep that person happy. Today you’ll make easy work of that. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It may be difficult to discern between the two kinds of problems there are in this world: my problems and your problems. Because you want to help, you’ll make some of their prob-lems your own. Just don’t take on too many! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Physical attractiveness is not as important to you as creativity is. You need people around you who will

perpetually challenge you to see the world in new ways. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life is like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Even though you’d like to load up on the tater tots and chocolate cake, you’ll put a good amount of healthy food on your dish and feel better because of it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You magnify the positive aspects of a relationship, and yet there are still certain things your partner does that give you pause. Try to step back from the issue until tomor-row, when you’re likely to have a more balanced perspective. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a choice about where to go and what to do. You’ll select an environ-ment that highlights your best traits, and when people interact with you in this context, you’ll shine bright. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your hunches are strong, and you’ll likely have one about a person who would make a terrific partner for you. Take steps to get

organized and save yourself from wasted afternoon hours spent looking for something. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The task at hand is mysterious and involves unknown elements, and you’ll have to learn new skills, too. Don’t let that stop you. You don’t have to know everything about it now. Just get started. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Living up to their standards is easy. What’s hard is living up to your own. You’re expect-ing yourself to perform at a level that even much more experienced folks have trouble hitting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Unlike other animals, humans are hard-wired to look for explanations as to why events occur. However, you’ll be better off today spending less energy on the “why” while you focus on the “how.” COPYRIGHT 2015 CREATORS.COM
