After discussing the future of a lo- cal paratransit service for a number of months, Johnson County officials and service users can now rest a little bit easier. During a Thursday morning coun- ty Board of Supervisors’ meeting, the five-member panel unanimously ap- proved a contract with the city of Iowa City for a transportation service for elderly and disabled people of some variety. The vote, and the resulting con- tract that begins July 1, now means the county will keep the more than 30-year-old SEATS paratransit pro- gram afloat for area residents. Officials in Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty have long mulled how much the county should pay. In fiscal 2012, Johnson County pro- vided $257,657 in funding from the general levy for paratransit services. To date, the service provides door-to- door rides to individuals with disabil- ities, senior citizens, and other people Andy Brodie talks about the upcoming art cinema to open in downtown at the Englert on Thursday. The Downtown District hopes to sponsor additional events in need of assistance accessing medical such as Taste of Iowa City in the future.

Thursday’s contract calls for the county to pay the city of Iowa City $154,000 next fiscal year and follows Tuesday’s approved contract by the Iowa City City Council. As the current agreement stands, Sunday service and discounted fares in the city limits would be eliminated at the end of Sep- tember. In fiscal 2012, the organization’s op- erating budget was $2.3 million; it has increased $900,00 over the past six years. Although the supervisors iterated that they do not support the cuts, the final decision, they said, came down to the City Council. “I think our options here are some- what limited if we didn’t do something now, because the City Council would’ve cut into other [funded] areas,” Super- visor Chairwoman Janelle Rettig said.

The suggestions and solutions you receive will help you make quality choices and changes that will improve your personal life and your future. A promise made will change your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Anger solves nothing, but taking pos- itive action does. Finding a solution will put you in control. Opt to put your efforts into a moneymaking endeavor or a job prospect that allows you greater opportunity. Diversify; you will advance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put in your best effort. Use charm and ingenuity coupled with experience and goal-oriented determi- nation, and you will make a lasting impression and progress. Love is on the rise, and sharing with someone special will bring good results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stand up to demands being made, and stick to a budget and a plan you can achieve without adding stress. Change is good, but it has to fit into your lifestyle and routine. Step back, take a break, and reconsider your options.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can resolve issues if you have a heart-to-heart talk with someone who understands the conse- quences of not taking care of a cause you believe in. Don’t be afraid to suggest something unusual. Avoid an emotional meltdown.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Turn this into a goal-oriented day by embracing knowledge and honing your skills along with updating your résumé. Follow your own dream, not one someone else has chosen for you. Make alterations to partnerships that have the potential to hold you back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Travel to unfamiliar destinations, or get involved in activities or events that are unique to you. Spending time learning about different philosophies, cultures, or lifestyles will help you choose a path that will improve your future. Love is in the stars.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take care of medical, financial, or legal issues. A problem with someone you are in or considering a partnership with should help you make a decision as to how you move forward. Don’t let emotions override what you need to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Time spent with someone you love will bring about unforeseen changes to your relationship. Don’t try to manipulate a situation that needs to play out without interfer- ence. Be responsible, but don’t take over.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Engage in activities that challenge you, and you will feel rejuvenated. Express your feelings as well as your goals, and you will gain support and suggestions that will help you succeed. Favors will be granted, and what’s owed to you will be repaid.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Personal issues will surface. You must weigh the pros and cons before you make impulsive moves that have a negative effect on what you are trying to accomplish. Talk matters over reasonably, and you will find a solution that works. Make love, not war.
