Christopher Warnock, a lawyer with the Iowa Tenants Project, said a judge gave the settlement prelim- inary approval on Tuesday.

Thursday 31, 2016 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be careful not to push someone who is likely to push back. Be willing to work alongside your competition, and you will gain respect. Let your discipline and energetic enthusiasm shine, and you’ll be hard to beat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be brave, and express your thoughts and plans. Don’t be afraid to try something new or to get involved in an unusual event or activity. The outcome will be enlightening and give you food for thought. Romance is on the rise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Helping someone out is fine, but if you loan out cash, it could ruin your friendship and leave you holding a bad debt. A secretive approach to something you want to develop will enable you to reach your goal without interference. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll be tempted to help someone who has a sob story. Back up; rethink your position. You will gain far more if you put your effort ‘s’in to your own ideas rather than someone else’s. Romance will enhance your personal life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Check out the online job market, and some- thing will grab your attention and spark an idea that will enable you to advance. Finding ways to entertain your peers or employer will put you in the running for a cushy position. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t give in to personal conflict. Take care of business before you opt to have fun. Reassure those who put demands on you that you will take part when the time is right. Offering alternative incentives will lead to help, not hindrance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let emotional matters cloud your vi- sion. Make a point to learn something that will help you move in a pos- itive direction and improve your chances of getting ahead. A business partnership will lead to an interesting alternative. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An old friend will play a role in a creative endeavor you want to pursue. Offering to help one another will pay off and make your quest for success much easier. Romance will enhance your day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t leave anything unfinished, or you will face complaints. Someone will be eager to make you look bad. Add to your comfort at home, and make sure to take the time to enjoy your hobbies and friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t give in to someone’s demands or pushiness. Stand your ground, and make it clear what you believe is best for you. Put your thoughts on paper, and draw up an agreement if necessary. Better to be safe than sorry. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Recognize and market your skills. What you have to offer can bring in extra cash and change the way people view you. Home improvements should be geared toward making a space conducive to getting a project up and running. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Know what you want, but go about getting it in a diplomatic manner. Being too forceful will invite arguments and opposition. Try to attract opportunity by offering incentives to the people you need help from.

After a rocky start in the first three tournaments, the Hawkeye men’s golfers are confident that improvement will come in the final stretch of the season. Results haven’t been spectacu- lar so far.

An autistic professor and an injured dancer will meet on Riverside Theater’s stage during the next two-plus weeks in Dancing Lessons.

By JUSTUS FLAIR | [email protected] ed, gold, and hints of green on the muted floral rug interrupt the smooth, bleached hardwood floors. RBlush-tone walls, broken by a single central win- dow, welcome visitors to Senga’s home. “This is starting to look like an apartment I’d want to live in,” joked director Angie Toomsen during a rehearsal for Riverside Theater’s Dancing Lessons, which will open Friday and run through April 17. The illusion wasn’t complete quite yet, the window still a literal hole in the wall, showing off the theater’s scene shop and storage space behind the stage. Stage left, a bright black and orange wall runs perpendicular to the apartment, a remnant from another production yet to be hidden. “It’s an apartment of someone who used to be lively and vivacious but is now injured and doesn’t want anything to do with the outside world,” said scene designer Courtney Schmitz. “We want to convey a sort of self-made isolation – almost a hermit-like atmosphere.” That separation means a cityscape will never shine dim- ly through that window. Instead, it will be covered com- pletely, shutting out the world like a deadbolt on a door. As the lights rise, they reveal Senga, lying flat on her futon, a chunky black brace swallowing her right leg from ankle to hip. “I think it’s really scary to be an artist,” said Heather Chrisler, the actor playing the professional dancer. “In Sen- ga’s case, one day she was walking down the street, a cab jumps the curb, and her life is over. Senga’s injury is my worst nightmare; it’s pretty close to the breast.” When she and the audience meet Ever Montgomery moments later, they have an advantage over Senga; they know, though she does not, that Ever is autistic — more specifically, he has Asperger’s syndrome. Ever, a stranger who lives two floors above Senga, strides into her apartment, demanding, blunt, and forward in his speech, constantly bordering on offensive. In one tongue- in-cheek line, he tells the dancer “theater’s like sports

The Turner House is 2011 Iowa Writers’ Workshop graduate Angela Flournoy’s first novel, but she’s been plenty busy. Since graduating and spending a year as an adjunct professor at Iowa, Flournoy has taught at Colombia and Southern New Hampshire University, been published by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, and had her novel critically acclaimed. And she’s not even 35. The Turners’ house in Detroit has been through it all in the years its been home to more than a dozen children. When the mother, the leader of the family, can no longer live alone, her children have to decide what to do with the house. And they say you can’t go home again. Flournoy toes the line between sappy and painfully truthful, never falling into tired clichés. Flournoy will give two readings on April 4, at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.in the Dey House.

FINDERS KEEPERS (BILL HODGES), BY STEPHEN KING

It should surprise no one Stephen King’s latest novel is marketed as “suspenseful.” The so-called King of Horror continues the Bill Hodges Trilogy with Finders Keepers, released March 29. SAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE An updated twist on Misery, in a way, King’s imagined character, author John Rothstein, is slaugh- tered by a disgruntled fan (Morris Bellamy), annoyed his favorite fictitious persona became a sell-out.
