Today’s Highlight in History:
On Sept. 28, 1892, the first nighttime football game
took place in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, as teams from
Mansfield State Normal and Wyoming Seminary played
under electric lights to a scoreless tie. (The game was
called after the first half due to hazardous conditions
caused by inadequate illumination; it also didn’t help that
a lighting pole was located in the middle of the field.)

Trump not happy with Price
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said
Wednesday he is “not happy” with Health and Human
Services Secretary Tom Price following reports that
Price used a private plane for official business.
And Trump says he let Price know it.
Asked whether he’s planning on firing Price, Trump re-
sponded: “We’ll see.”
Price said Saturday he would stop flying private planes
on official business while an internal review of the flights
is being done. He’s also said he welcomes the review.
Iran FM scolds Trump for tweet,

NEW YORK (AP) — Iran’s top diplomat scolded Presi-

to a landmark nuclear accord that Trump is threatening
to dismantle.
“We need to check our facts before we
make statements,” Foreign Minister Mo-

with The Associated Press. “It worries
me that people play with facts and pro-
duce alternative facts.”

cuts, but big questions remain

BY MARCY GORDON
AND ANDREW TAYLOR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Prom-
ising big tax cuts and a
booming economy, Presi-
dent Donald Trump and
congressional Republicans
unveiled the first major
revamp of the nation’s tax
code in a generation
Wednesday — a sweeping,
nearly $6 trillion tax cut
that would deeply reduce
levies for corporations, sim-
plify everyone’s brackets
and nearly double the stan-
dard deduction used by
most Americans.
Trump declared repeat-
edly the plan would provide
badly needed tax relief for
the middle class. But there
are too many gaps in the
proposal to know how it
actually would affect indi-
vidual taxpayers and fami-
lies, how it would be paid
for and how much it might
add to the soaring $20 tril- Minority Leader Chuck
lion national debt.
Better competition
There clearly would be
seismic changes for busi-
nesses large and small, with
implications for companies
beyond U.S. borders. The
American middle-class fam-
ily of four could take advan-
tage of a heftier child tax
credit and other deductions
but face uncertainty about
the rate its household
income would be taxed.
“Under our framework,
we will dramatically cut the
business tax rate so that
American companies and
American workers can beat
our foreign competitors and
start winning again,”
Trump boasted at a speech
in Indiana.
Democrats react
Democrats predictably
felt differently.
“Each of these proposals
would result in a massive
windfall for the wealthiest
Americans and provide
almost no relief to mid-
dle-class taxpayers who
need it most,” Senate
Schumer, D-N.Y., said at the
Capitol.
Some Republicans, once
fiscally demanding but now
desperate for a legislative win
after a yearlong drought,
shrugged off the specter of
adding billions to the federal
deficit. Failure on taxes, after
the collapse of health care
repeal, could cost the GOP
dearly in next year’s mid-
term elections with its House
majority at stake.
“This is a now-or-never
moment,” said House
Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,
who built his reputation on
tax and budget issues.
Likewise, Trump said in
Indianapolis, “This is a
once-in-a-generation oppor-
tunity.”
Last overhaul in 1986
But the bitterly divided,
Republican-led Congress
faces critical decisions on
eliminating or reducing tax
breaks and deductions,
with the GOP intent on pro-
ducing a package without
Democratic votes by year’s
end. The last major over-
haul in 1986 was bipartisan,
and Trump was courting
Democrats. One vulnerable
incumbent, Indiana Sen.
Joe Donnelly, accompanied
the president on his trip to
Indianapolis.
Trump and the architects
of the Republican plan insist
that the overhaul is aimed
squarely at benefiting the
middle class and wouldn’t
favor the wealthy. Still, a cut
in the tax rate for Americans
making a half-million dol-
lars or more would drop by
almost 5 percentage points
as the wealthiest sliver of
the nation reaped tremen-
dous benefits.
Corporations would see
their top tax rate cut from
35 percent to 20 percent. For
a period of five years, com-
panies could further reduce
how much they pay by
immediately writing off
their investments. That’s all
part of an effort that
Trump said would make
U.S. businesses more com-
petitive globally.
The plan would collapse
the number of personal tax
brackets from seven to three.
The individual tax rates
would be 12 percent, 25 per-
cent and 35 percent — and
the plan recommends a sur-
charge for the very wealthy.
sponding to a question about their fate by raising the
situation of several Iranians held or being pursued by
the United States for sanctions violations. But the min-

urday blasted Iran in a Tweet that renewed criticism of
its 2015 nuclear deal with six major powers including
the United States.
‘Don’t be afraid!’ Pope starts
campaign to promote migrants
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Wednesday
launched a two-year education campaign about the
plight of migrants to counteract mounting anti-immigrant
sentiment in the U.S. and Europe, urging the world:
“Don’t be afraid!”
Francis posed for selfies, shook hands, kissed babies
and hugged migrants at the end of his weekly general
audience, teaching by example that “others” are not to
be feared but embraced.
The campaign, spearheaded by the Vatican’s Caritas
charity, encourages people to meet with migrants and
listen to their stories, rather than treat them as statis-
tics clouded by negative stereotypes. Francis, the son
of Italian immigrants to Argentina, urged individuals and
governments to open their arms and welcome migrants
and share in their plight, as Jesus did.
Amazon cutting price on Echo
SEATTLE (AP) — Amazon says it is cutting the price of
its Echo smart speaker to $100 from $180, improving
the sound quality and upgrading its appearance with six
new “shells.”
The next generation speaker, which is powered by
Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, will have a dedicated
woofer and a tweeter for the first time, as well as Dolby
sound.
The company made the announcement in Seattle at an
event for journalists. The online retailer also announced
a speaker-phone device called an Echo Connect for $35
that connects to a user’s home phone and allows the
user to place and receive calls.

Dark days for McConnell

BY ERICA WERNER
AP CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans
reckoned Wednesday with an insurgent’s
win in Alabama that poses clear threats to
their own grip on power and the leader-
ship of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Nearly $10 million spent by a McCon-
nell-backed super PAC couldn’t save
incumbent GOP Sen. Luther Strange, who
had been endorsed by President Donald
Trump as well. It came the same day that
McConnell, short of votes, pulled the plug
on the latest and possibly final GOP effort
to repeal and replace “Obamacare.”
Coming together, the events raised ques-
tions about McConnell’s leadership within
the Senate and without, casting doubt on
his reputation both as a seasoned political
operator and a nearly unbeatable
vote-counter on Capitol Hill.
“I’d hate to think about where we would
be without Sen. McConnell’s efforts. But I

McConnell’s No. 2, Sen. John Cornyn of

former jurist Roy Moore, known for hang-

room in defiance of federal court orders.
“We’re all listening and watching very

there was little question about that message.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING
1. All political advertising is charged at the prevailing open rate. (No discounts, special pricing or earned
rates.)
2. All political advertising must be paid for in advance. No exceptions.
3. All political advertising must carry a line reading “Authorized By....” or “Paid For By....” If authorized
by the candidate, his authorized political committee or their agents, the ad must clearly state such. If not
authorized, the ad must clearly and specifically state the name of the person, committee or organization
who placed or financed the ad. (Personal identification may be requested.) In the case of citizens’
groups, committees and unofficial organizations, they must be established, registered and/or reasonably
identifiable to the newspaper’s readers. If not, the name of the treasurer or another officer may be required.
4. The phrase “PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT” by itself is insufficient.
5. No political ads may be placed on any page that carries special rates or restrictions on advertising. (e.g.
page 1, page 1 of sports, editorial page, comics page, etc.). There is no guaranteed position or placement
offered for political ads.
6. No political ads of a derogatory or attacking nature will be published after Wednesday’s edition, 6 days
prior to Election Day. NOTE: Production deadlines require that all ads be placed with our sales department
by 11 a.m. 2 working days prior to publication, or 11 a.m. Monday for an ad to appear Wednesday. In the
name of fairness and our responsibility to the local voting public, responses to derogatory ads will be
allowed after the Wednesday cutoff, but such ads must be placed immediately to insure placement prior to
Election Day. Responses may rebut charges, innuendos or misstatements of fact from the initial derogatory
ad, but may not present new charges or level inflammatory counterattacks on the opposing political camp.
7. In the case of questionable content (e.g. unfounded allegations, statements of fact that are suspect, or
assaults on a candidate’s character or moral standards), the newspaper reserves the right to verify such
information before publication, or to reject the material.

7 reasons GOP couldn’t end Obamacare
BY RAMESH PONNURU
BLOOMBERG VIEW
Republicans’ failure to
repeal Obamacare, or even
make major changes to it,
feels overdetermined. They
came into the debate hold-
ing a weak hand, and they
played it badly.
First: Voters have feared ty of those millions would

Second: Democrats and

quently said Republican

Pay, please
Do the NFL players
kneel down when it’s pay-
day?
Distraction
Do you suppose Trump
believes that if our atten-
tion is on sports figures
and teams we will forget
about the Russian probe,
the North Korean crisis,
his unpaid taxes, the mon-
ey-laundering schemes
and the shoddy health
care plan?
We do have a life
To the person who said
maybe we should get a life
and you would invite us to
your party. Uh, sorry, we
do have a life. It’s called
making memories with
our children. You should
try it sometime instead of
making memories with
your so-called friends in a
bar. We gave that up when
we were 20, 21 years old.
Results are in
To answer your ques-
tion, editor, yes I did label
Madonna and Young two
thinly disguised liberals. I
labeled them for exactly
what they are. I watch
their polls and everything
is skewed toward the
Democrats. Editor’s take:
So what you’re saying is
that you don’t like the
results.
Service before NFL
How many in the NFL
were in the service? When
they get out of college
they should make them go
to the service for about
three years, and then
come back and see if
they’d stand.
Protest option
I just watched the won-
derful pro athletes sup-
port the few protesters
who we don’t even know
what they’re protesting,
claiming it is their free-
dom to protest. There are
many ways in which they
could protest. Why don’t
they bind together and
contribute financially to
show they really care
about the inequality?  a football player quietly
Fire them
Those football players
are overpaid and they are
bums. Trump was abso-
lutely right. They make
too much money and now
they can’t even salute the
flag? They should be fired.
Respect for
the president
Who cares about the
NFL? They don’t feel
respected? Well, who’s
respecting the president?
Also, football ratings are
way down. What does that
speak of ?
It’s about respect
There is absolutely no
debate warranted over
whether or not profession-
al football players have

lions of peo-

Third: One reason Repub-
lican politicians did not
neither know nor care
much about health policy.
Historically they have seen
the right to take a knee
during football games. It’s
not about that. They, of
course, have the right. It’s
about respect for this
country. 
Nobody better
This is in reference to
“Just wonderful” in Tues-
day’s Sound Off. I think
that nobody better than
John McCain, who is a
highly decorated veteran,
and my husband, who
served in Vietnam, both
going through cancer at
the present time, are the
choice to make the deci-
sion about our
nation’s health care sys-
tem. Until you have
served and until you have
gone through cancer and
chemo, you have no right
to say anything. Editor’s
take: Well said, and our
best to your husband. 
New careers
If just the vets who
serve in the military
would turn off the NFL, a
lot of the players would be
looking for jobs dancing
for the Rockettes.
Barely a mention
Can you please explain
to me why the church
shooting in Tennessee has
barely got a mention any-
where in the media?
Could it be that it doesn’t
fit the liberal media’s
racial narrative? Whatev-
er happened to objective
reporting? Editor’s take:
You probably have a pre-
conceived notion that it’s
the “liberal media’s” fault
no matter what, but by
what are you judging? We
don’t devote a lot of space
to national stories, and we
played it strong Monday
and Tuesday. Otherwise,
you may have noticed
there’s a lot going on in the
country these days.

Pride fuels Haunted House success
41st year will debut on Oct. 7

ELYSBURG — Pride
among volunteers of the
Elysburg Haunted House
has ensured its continued
success.
Harvey Boyer, head
spookster for the 41st annu-

Volunteers, many of
them firefighters, began
work two months ago to
prepare for opening night,
slated for 7 p.m. Saturday,

sounds of weed whackers
and miter saws will be
replaced by eerie screams
from guests, or “victims” as
they are known by the crea-

Boyer said the organization
rated the Haunted House
one of the top Halloween
attractions on the East
Coast following a visit three
years ago.
“Our attraction has been
visited by people from
throughout the world. We
have a reputation to uphold
and we have certainly done
that,” Boyer said. “It’s inter-
esting to see the dedication
of the people involved —
and they are all volun-
teers.”
There will be 13 news
scenes in addition to tradi-
tional rooms manned by
popular characters such as
the witches and the snake
man. On Tuesday, a small
crew was putting the final
touches on the “sewer
authority,” which will send
guests walking on a creepy
bridge and through a large
tunnel that mimics a sewer
pipe.
Though not based on the
sewer system of “It,” the
2017 adaption of Stephen
King’s novel of the same
name, the idea for the
attraction does fit into
recent horror trends.
the defendants accountable
for falsely stating that he, a
“hard-working, devoted
husband, father and grand-
father,” is responsible for
Miller’s death. As a result
of the defendants’ “false
and defamatory state-
ments,” Egan claims he has
been defamed and subjected
to ridicule in publications
in the United States,
England, Australia, New
Zealand and Hong Kong.
Since Timothy S. Miller
resurrected the case after
being hired in July 2016 as
the Sunbury police chief,
Egan claims he has contin-
uously leaked incomplete
information and given
vague statements about
him to the press for publici-
ty.
Egan claims the alleged
defamatory statements
have caused him to suffer
emotional distress, embar-
rassment and humiliation,
damaged his reputation
and adversely affected his
business and personal rela-
tionships.

“During a close-up meeting

luck it’s going to a be a sew-

Although the sewer

related to any film, the way
volunteers choose what
characters to play is often
based upon the popularity
of horror villains. Boyer

organization and our players, have chosen not to use
this platform to take a stance. There appears to be a per-
ception that we have, and it is wrong.”
The Penguins released a statement Sunday indicating
they would attend a ceremony at the White House, a tradi-
tion for numerous championship teams. The announce-
ment came after numerous media requests following
Trump’s decision to rescind an invitation to the NBA’s
Stephen Curry after the Golden State Warriors star indi-
cated he would not attend.
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, a Canadian, said Sun-
day that he supported the team’s choice to go to the White
House, adding “everyone’s got the right to go or not go.
But we’ve been invited and we accepted the invitation. I
don’t think you have to read into it any more than that.”
Sullivan defended Crosby from what the coach views as
external pressure on the sport’s most popular player to
make some sort of political statement.
“The fact that people seem to think that Sid needs to
bear this burden of responsibility is unfair,” Sullivan
said. “This guy does nothing but go to the rink, help the
Penguins win championships and be a good person every
day.”

years, has always sup-
ported Pitino through
many embarrassing trans-
gressions.
But Postel said, “It is vital
for this university to strict-
ly adhere to the NCAA
rules and of course federal
law. Failure to do that
would be a tacit endorse-
ment of criminal behavior.”
The recent federal inves-
tigation is the latest black
eye for the Cardinals pro-
gram, which is already reel-
ing from a sex scandal. It is
unclear where the marquee
program goes from here.
Pitino and Louisville are
in the middle of appealing
NCAA sanctions handed
out in June following a sex
scandal that unfolded near-
ly two years ago — which
could cost the school its
2013 national title.
In the latest investiga-
tion, federal prosecutors
say at least three top high
school recruits were prom-
ised payments of as much
as $150,000, using money
supplied by Adidas, to
attend two universities
sponsored by the athletic
shoe company. Court papers
didn’t name the schools but
contained enough details to
identify one of them as
Louisville, the other was
Miami.
Postel also said Wednes-
day that one student-athlete
has been informed he will
not practice or play for the
university until the investi-
gation is resolved. He did
not name the athlete
allegedly involved in the
investigation, which federal
documents list as a high
school All-American.
The player’s name also
was not released by federal
prosecutors, but details in

and had zero involvement in

Frenk says the U.S. Attorney’s
Office has confirmed it is in-
vestigating a potential tie to
a Miami coach and recruit.
Frenk says school officials
are “alarmed and disappoint-
ed” by the development.
Fallout: None yet.
Next steps: Athletic director
Blake James also issued a
statement saying the school
was aware of the indictments
in the case, and would coop-
erate with any review of the
matter.
OKLAHOMA STATE
Who’s accused: Assistant
coach Lamont Evans.
Why: He allegedly took he
took bribes to influence star
athletes to go to certain
agents. According to FBI pa-
pers, he expected $2,000 a
month for his services. He
said it was necessary to use
his influence over the young-
sters early in their college ca-
reers because many of them
are “one and done,” meaning
they play one year of college
ball before joining the NBA,
according to court papers.
the criminal complaint
make it clear investigators
were referring to 6-foot-7
Brian Bowen. The fresh-
man has yet to play in a
game with the Cardinals.
“This decision will pro-
tect the interests of both the
student and the University
of Louisville,” Postel said.
Pitino’s future mean-
while will be evaluated at a
later date, Postel said, while
his assistants’ status will be
examined by the interim
AD. Jurich’s future will be
determined by the school’s
Board of Trustees.
Though Pitino is not
named in the federal docu-
ments, the school acknowl-
edged it is under investiga-
tion by the FBI.
Neither Pitino nor Jurich
were at Wednesday’s news
conference, though the
coach said Tuesday the alle-
gations came as a “com-
plete shock” to him. In the
statement released through
Pence, Pitino added he was
“committed to taking what-
ever steps are needed to
ensure those responsible
are held accountable.”
The nationwide federal
investigation includes
schools from California to
Auburn.
The assistant coaches
charged include Chuck Per-
son of Auburn, Emanuel
Richardson of Arizona,
Tony Bland of Southern
California and Lamont
Evans of Oklahoma State.
Person and Evans have
been suspended, and Bland
was placed on administra-
tive leave.
But Pitino is the first
head coach to be disci-
plined, and his previous
NCAA troubles apparently
played a role in him being
placed on leave.

‘Poor Picks’
instead of Pro
Picks last week
BY BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer
Maybe all the displays of
unity at NFL games last
weekend also overshad-
owed an awful week for Pro
Picks. We sure hope so: It
was more like Poor Picks.
And that came with a
rare win in a Thursday
night game, Rams over
49ers. Hopefully, we can get
it right with this week’s
opener, Bears at Packers,
then follow it up with some
more winners.
Green Bay struggled to
beat lowly Cincinnati in
overtime last Sunday, hours
after Chicago stunned Pitts-
burgh, also in OT. Working
extra time heading into a
short week isn’t exactly an
ideal way to prep for a
Thursday nighter.
The Packers were under-
manned, particularly on the
offensive line, against the
Bengals and had to stage a
big rally to win. The Bears
used their impressive run-
ning game to overcome the
Steelers.
With so little rest between
outings, the disparity in tal-
ent can tend to get skewed a
bit. Green Bay appears to be
a Super Bowl contender
when healthy. Chicago has
the look of an also-ran in a
tough division.
Still, this is Bears-Pack-
ers, one of the more emo-
tion-packed series in pro
sports.
The Packers, No. 4 in the
AP Pro32, are 7-point favor-
ites over their long-time
rival Bears (No. 25).
PACKERS, 21-16

Presidents Cup braces
for Trump show at
Liberty National
BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
JERSEY CITY, N.J. —
The Presidents Cup is liv-
ing up to its name like nev-
er before. The three previ-
ous U.S. presidents will be
on the first tee at Liberty
National for the start of the
matches Thursday, and the
PGA Tour is bracing for a
Sunday visit by President
Donald Trump.
PGA Tour Commissioner
Jay Monahan said Trump’s
people have been out to the
course to take a “good, hard
look at the property” and
are working closely with
the tournament’s security
side.
It would be the first time
a sitting president has
attended the event since
Bill Clinton was at the Rob-
ert Trent Jones Golf Club
in Virginia in 2000.
“We hope he comes and
he’ll be welcomed by us and
by our players,” Monahan
said.

host country as honorary
chairman. Trump accepted
his invitation, his first
active role with the PGA
Tour since a World Golf
Championship moved away
from Trump National Doral
in Florida during the presi-
dential campaign.
Monahan had said the
reason for moving away
from Doral was related to
finding a title sponsor, not
politics, and he doesn’t con-
sider a Trump appearance
at Liberty National any-
thing but a golf event.
“We are not endorsing a
person,” Monahan said.
“We are not endorsing a

He said “both sides of the
aisles” will be represented
Thursday with the appear-
ance of Clinton, George W.

presidents have been at the
event. All served as honor-

Dear Abby
Mom regrets kids’
Jeanne Phillips
unhappy childhood
Dear Abby: I got pregnant very
young and married the father. It was
in the ‘60s and things were very dif-
ferent then. I didn’t realize my hus-
band simply did not like children. I at-
tributed it to his being in the Marines,
a Vietnam vet, etc. We had never
heard of PTSD, but he probably had
it. We struggled, and he was very abu-
sive to the children, even when they
were small.
After 17 years we divorced, but I feel
my children always got a raw deal.
Things are so different now. Single
women are proud of being unmarried
and pregnant. Men are taking a much
more active role in caring for their chil-
dren. Every time I see a father holding,
feeding, smiling or interacting with his
children I feel such sadness that it
was never like that for us. Sometimes I
have fantasies where I have taken the
children and left. I regret very much
that I didn’t.
My first husband is dead now, but
I still have these feelings of regret.
Would it help to write letters to my chil-
dren telling them how I feel? I would put
the letters away and give them to them
either when I feel the time is right, or
for them to read after my death. — Re-
grets In Life
Dear Regrets: I don’t know how old
your children are now, but if they were
born in the ‘60s, I assume they are
well into their 50s. The time to com-
municate this to them is NOW. Instead
of putting your apologies in a letter,
why not say it directly? They probably
need to hear it from you. And when you
discuss this with them, remind them
that at the time they were conceived,
it was the era of shotgun weddings,
and divorce was less common than it
is today.
Dear Abby: A friend of mine had to
move out of her apartment suddenly
about a week ago. She’s leaving the shoe
country in a few weeks and plans to
look for a new place when she returns.
We told her she’s welcome to stay with
us until then.
I know this may seem a strange com-
plaint about a houseguest, but she’s
too polite. She refuses to walk into
the house even though I have told her
to let herself in or I call out “come in”
when she rings the doorbell. Instead,
she waits until we answer the door. She
asks before using anything or even get-
ting a glass of water.
Abby, if this was a guest we don’t see
often coming to visit, of course we’d be BaBy Blues
happy to attend to the person’s needs
or feel obliged to eat meals together.
But I consider this to be more of a tem-
porary roommate situation, and I don’t
want to feel like we have company ev-
ery day.
My husband and I work long hours.
When we come home from work, we
want to be lazy, lie on the sofa and or-
der takeout if neither of us feels like
cooking. How do I tell her that while
her consideration is appreciated, I re-
ally need her to relax a bit and make
herself at home? — Frustrated In Cal-
ifornia mutts
Dear Frustrated: The way to tell her
is exactly the way you explained it to
me — that because she’s a friend, you
want to dispense with the formalities
and just relax. And for her to ignore your
wishes would be inconsiderate.

Your Horoscope
BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
A baby born today has a Sun in Libra and a Moon in Capricorn.
Happy Birthday for Thursday, Sept. 28, 2017!
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Aver-
age; 2-So-So; 1-Difficult snuffy smith
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — (3 stars) Pressure builds. Making the right
choice takes time and consideration. The situation suddenly might reverse
itself and force you to regroup. Your instincts put you on the right path. Be
willing to put in the effort needed to cross the finish line first. Tonight: A must
appearance.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — (4 stars) Reach out for more information,
especially if the facts still don’t complete the puzzle. You know you are miss-
ing some details. Detach and take a hard look at what is happening. Your
perspective is likely to change as a result. Tonight: Reach out to someone at
a distance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)— (5 stars) One-on-one relating is highlighted. Be
willing to express your feelings, despite a tendency to withdraw at times. You
will witness a reversal of sorts around a personal matter; this change is not
necessarily bad. Focus on your needs right now. Tonight: Togetherness is the
theme. GarfielD
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — (4 stars) Stay centered, yet recognize when
you have too much on your plate. Be clear with a partner about not being able
to take on any more work right now. Some angry words could come out, but
you’ll deal with them appropriately. Tonight: Say “yes” to someone else’s offer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — (4 stars) Deal with someone else’s comment di-
rectly. You might want to see more of this person’s behavior before you decide
whether you will want to change your tune. An associate or partner is likely
to hold out his or her hand as a goodwill gesture. Tonight: Exercise first, then
decide.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — (4 stars) A loved one could surprise you with
the feedback he or she gives. You might be best off following your heart. You
also might want to be aware that you have a short fuse right now. Discuss your
feelings before you reach a certain level of anger. Tonight: Move right along.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — (4 stars) Pace yourself, and follow through on
a special idea. Discussions center on your foundations and/or domestic life. haGar
Curb a tendency to be too stern or serious. New facts might come forward
unexpectedly, some of which involve your personal life. Tonight: Head home.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — (4 stars) Keep sharing your ideas. The unex-
pected occurs around a routine matter, and your perspective is likely to change
as a result. Many suppressed feelings could come to the surface. Just note
the feelings you have. Hook up with a friend, if you can. Tonight: Catch up on
news.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — (3 stars) Examine what is happening
financially before you make an important decision. You might opt to revise your
thinking after a conversation with an older relative or boss. This person will be
pleased that the two of you finally see eye to eye. Tonight: Get together with
a friend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — (5 stars) You tend to throw yourself into
whatever you are involved in. Your caring attitude comes out when dealing with
a friend or loved one at a distance. This person might be overly assertive for B e e t l e B a i l ey
your taste at the moment. Make it OK to change plans. Tonight: Be near good
music.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — (3 stars) Understand that a lot is happen-
ing behind the scenes right now. You might try to guess what is going on, but
you probably won’t succeed. You could be worried that someone close to you
is playing a control game. Take a step back, if possible. Tonight: Get some
much-needed R and R.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — (5 stars) The emphasis is on friendship. You
have been focused on a different matter as of late, which also is important to
you. Before you act, review plans you have with a loved one. After a discussion,
you might change your thinking. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.
