We have the best inten-

better when a new year
approaches. We make grand
plans: lose weight, take on
that home renovation or
give back to the community.
Often, we struggle to find
ways to follow through.
The same goes for regis-
tering as an organ and tissue
donor. More than 94 percent
of Ohioans think that dona-
tion is a good thing, but
only about 54 percent have
taken the steps to register.
Why the gap between
sentiment and action? Myths
and misconceptions prevent
Ohioans from signing up as
donors.
The most common mis-
conception about donation
is the fear that a registered
donor’s care will be com-
promised in the emergency

remained until age 21. He
spent the next few years serv-
ing in the military during the
tail-end of World War II, after
which he spent a little time
finding out what he wanted
to do for the rest of his life.
He married Angelene Freund
in 1950 and shortly thereafter
moved to Leipsic where he
broke into dairy farming, a
career that eventually took
him to Landeck. He stopped
at age 62 when one of his
sons took over.
It was back in Leipsic that
Smith first joined the men’s
choir at church, which he
remained part of for eight
years. When he moved to
Landeck, he joined the church
choir there and remained
with it for 20 years. When
he moved to Delphos, Smith
joined the choir at St. John the
Evangelist Catholic Church
and sang among its ranks for
24 years.
His love of singing brought
him to the Autumn Years
Choraliers, a choral group that
sings at area nursing homes.
Smith became a part of this
group 26 years ago and still
sings with them today.
“He’s been in the Autumn
Years Choraliers a lot longer
than any of us have and he’s
very dedicated,” former Man
of the Year Larry Luersman
said. “He plays the harmonica
too, about once or twice in the
45 minute sessions.”
Aside from his obvi-
ous love of singing and
music, Smith stays with the
Choraliers because he feels
it’s good for the nursing home
residents.
“I like to sing, you know,
so I really enjoy it. At every
nursing home we visit, all
the people say we’re the
best that’s been there so we
know they enjoy it as well,
which is why we’re there,” he
said. “Then we go to a place
where they treat patients with
Alzheimer’s, like Sarah Jane
Living Center, and some of
them will sit there half asleep
and all of a sudden we’ll be
singing and they’ll wake up
and start singing along. It
comes back to them and I just
think it’s a good thing to see.”
“I play the harmonica too
whenever we do a session,
and that’s something they
also enjoy,” Smith added. “I
started playing the harmon-

room. This is completely
untrue. A doctor’s main pri-
ority is the life in front of
them and only after every
effort to save a patient’s life
has failed is donation con-
sidered.

the Ohio Donor Registry, a
ica when I was a kid. My
dad played and I got one for
Christmas one year. I always
wanted to be as good as he
was and I like to think I’ve
made it.”
A big part of Smith’s
life has always been family.
Through their fifty years of
marriage, Smith and Angelene
built a family of their own.
“On the first of March in
2001 she had a stroke and
she never recovered,” Smith
said of his late wife. “After
that she had another stroke
and passed in June. We had
eight children. About four
and a half years ago, I mar-
ried Beatrice Miller, who also
sings with the Choraliers.
When it came time for us
to dance the polka, I always
danced with this one lady and
when she left I started danc-
ing with Bea and that’s how
we kinda got together.”
With their combined 45
grandchildren, Smith and
Miller have created quite a
large family with their unity.
“He’s very good to my
children and all of our chil-
dren are very good to each
other, I mean they’re adults
now, but everyone gets along
really well and we all have
very good communication
with each other,” Miller said.
“I don’t want to give him an
ego, but he’s been a very, very
good husband to me. He’s
a very kind and patient per-
son and as a volunteer, he’s
always dedicated and always
enjoys it. I was sitting right
here when he was told he was
man of the year and I can tell
you he was shocked.”
Smith agreed with his wife’s
assessment of his reaction.
“I was dumbfounded. I
had no idea I was even up for
it and I’m surprised I could
even stay on the phone,” he
said. “I’m honored because
I’m just doing what I enjoy.”
It takes a person of special
character to give selflessly and
expect nothing in return, espe-
cially when that person does it
simply because helping others
makes them happy.
“I’ve known Leonard
for years and years,” said
Luersman. “He’s put in a lot
of time at that thrift shop and
he’s very committed to all his
volunteer work. He’s a very
nice fellow and will do any-
thing for anyone. He really
deserves this.”
When asked where he got
his outlook on life and his
love of serving others, Smith
credits his parents and his
solid upbringing.
“I had a very good upbring-
ing, with strict parents who
lived by the law of the land,”
Smith said. “Church played a
huge part in our lives and our
parents drilled into our heads
from an early age that it was
right for us to get involved.
I pretty much followed their
example.”

Another common myth
about donation is the thought
that a donor cannot have an
open-casket funeral. If an
open-cas-
ket funeral
was pos-
sible before
donation, it
will still
be possible
after dona-
tion.
We also
see a trend
of people

Up To The Challenge offers
non-competitive softball,
bowling and more to those
with special needs by pairing
participants with a “buddy”
to help them bat, run bases
and anything else they need.
That way, nobody is left out.
It all began with Hale getting
tired of feeling her family
was excluded.
“I remember the day like
it was yesterday,” Fetzer said.
“Amy was so upset because
she felt she couldn’t take
Austin to church. There was
no place for him to be, so
they couldn’t go to church as
a family; she felt like there’s
nothing for them to do in
town as a family. She said she
wished they could get togeth-
er to do things like play soft-
ball. I said ‘okay, write down
your ideas and I’ll make it
happen.’ It was all Amy’s
idea; I just helped because, as
a business owner, I was sure I
could make it happen.”
“I started talking to peo-
ple and found out somebody
had to be on the Parks and
Recreation Committee. So, I
got on it and found out what I
was allowed to do and what I
was not allowed to do. I found
out what was available to us
and what wasn’t available. I
started talking to businesses
and people I knew who would
give us $5, $10 or $15. We
had no idea how to fund it
but we even, kind of, bribed
people to give us $25 by put-
ting their name on the back
of a shirt. Delphos Sporting
Goods made the logo and
from there, the Dienstberger
Foundation gave us generous
donations a couple of times.
Then, we were on our feet.”
The effort has experi-
enced rapid growth because it
fills a previously-unsatisfied
need that was quite vast. A
tremendous groundswell of
support emerged and com-
munity members have rallied
around Up To The Challenge
to make it the beautiful gem it
has become.
“Because of the
Dienstberger Foundation, we
were able to get a mic and
sound system so everyone
can hear everything. We were
also able to make sure every-
body has a shirt. Ruth Michael
was part of the foundation
and I asked her one day ‘do
you think it’s necessary for
everybody to have a shirt?’
I was trying to save some
money. She said ‘I certainly
do.’ I asked why and she said
‘when you’re on a bowling
team, you have a shirt. When
you’re on a softball team, you
have a shirt. Any time you’re
on any team, everybody has
the same shirt. That means
they belong. These people
need to know and feel that
they belong,’ she said and

she was right. So, all of our
participants have shirts that
say ‘Up To The Challenge.’
I really loved Ruth — I just
thought the world of her,”
she said.
Fetzer said anyone of any
age is welcome to participate:
average or special; age 6 or
age 60.
Hale says Fetzer’s intense
focus has made Up To The
Challenge a success.
“She’s very caring. Her
heart is always in the right
place and she is very deter-
mined. When she sees some-
thing that needs done, she gets
it done; she’s a go-getter. I’m
the idea person and she keeps
things organized. We compli-
ment each other very well in
this endeavor. I really admire
her; she’s a joy to know and
I’m honored to have her in
my life,” Hale said.
Fetzer’s credits the pro-
gram’s accomplishments to
its many volunteers.
“We started with softball,
then added swimming. We
asked city council for per-
mission to use the pool and
the manager, Chris Wisher,
is wonderful. She worked it
out so all the lifeguards vol-
unteered and we are lined
with lifeguards everywhere
— it’s totally safe. We have
structured play with games
and such for about 45 min-
utes. Then, it’s family time
so moms and dads, sisters,
brothers and others can get in
the pool and swim as a family
for an hour. Dave Roach does
the announcing; Rick Burgei,
Rick Miller and Bob Ulm
do the announcing for soft-
ball. Then, we added bowling
and we do that once a month
when the weather gets cold
and we also have a dance in
the Fall,” Fetzer said.
The determined organizer
views her efforts through the
eyes of a mother.
“We all just want to be
loved; that’s all we really
want and all any parent wants
for their children is to fit in
and be happy. So, John and
I are just trying to give our
daughter and others like her
an opportunity to fit in and be
happy,” she said.
“John and I are a team.
I couldn’t do anything I do
without him and out families
have been incredibly support-
ive. Our moms help out and
our daughter, Kristy, comes
home from Columbus to be
involved any time she can.
So, it’s a real family affair.”
Her husband feels the
same way:
“She is an awesome wife
and a wonderful mother.
She’s a very giving person
and when she puts her mind
to something, you can’t
change it. That’s the way she
is. When we get down, we
pick each other up; it has
really been a good marriage,”
he said.

PIGSKIN
I am fading fast as the Pigskin
Picks season wears down.
I followed up a 3-9 howler with
a 6-6 mediocrity — 2-3 in the col-
lege bowls and 4-3 in the pros. That
leaves me with a 111-81 mark (56-
32 college and 55-49 pros).
Austin Clarkson, a stringer here
at The Herald, came in with a 4-8
mark as the guest picker for the sec-
ond time (1-4, 3-4). He paid attention
to my ... er, ahem, “threat!” The GP
collective mark is now 102-90 (56-32
and 46-58).
Charlie Warnimont, long-time
sports editor of the Putnam County
Sentinel, is back for a second stint
as GP.
Dave Boninsegna remains at
75-56 (40-20 and 35-36) and he will
be AWOL this week as well. I will
trey to lure him back out of his cave
deep within the Sahara Desert!

NOTRE DAME: I know my friend,
PICKS
are juniors — to play. Buckeyes
NEED to end this hex of SEC
teams.
PROS
ST. LOUIS: Both teams still in
the hunt to “win” – or is it not lose?
— NFC West. Matt Hasselback has
been beaten up, while Bradford is
relatively healthy. That, along with
Steven Jackson, give Rams the
edge.
GREEN BAY: Packers need to
win to have a chance at the wild
card in the NFC. This game kicks
off the same time as G-Men vs.
Redskins, so they will play like their
lives depended upon in. With Bears
already getting the bye and a home
game in the playoffs, it doesn’t mean
as much, except that they hate,
loathe, despise — some might even
say dislike! — the Packers. Still,
Packers should have even more
motivation to get the win.
KANSAS CITY: Chiefs have
playoffs sown up and Raiders were
eliminated last week. Still, they
“might” want to beat a bitter archrival
from long ago.
NY GIANTS: Redskins took
advantage of a barfsome perfor-
mance by Jacksonville last week
to pull the upset. However, with
half their starting defense on the
practice squad just a week ago, I
cannot believe they will be able to
handle a motivated Giants offense
that will be fuming after choke jobs
the last two games. Could get ugly
Kansas City: How about the
Chiefs? A very impressive season.
They cap it off with a victory over the
hated Raiders.
N.Y. Giants: The Giants have
looked terrible as of late but go
to D.C. and get a win over the
Redskins.
Houston: The Jags won game
one earlier in the season in stun-
ning fashion but will be without their
quarterback this week in Houston.
The Texans answer back to split the
season series.

CHARLIE WARNIMONT
College:
Notre Dame - Two teams that
didn’t have the season everyone
thought they could have. Have to go
with the Irish as the Hurricanes are
in a bit of transition.
Alabama - Tough pick. Michigan
State has lost just once this season
and the Tide twice. Sparty has
defeated me before and it could
happen again but I will stick with
the Tide.
Mississippi State - Can Michigan
save their coach’s job? Only the
defense knows
for sure. The
Wolverines can
put up points but
they also give up
a lot to an athletic

Mosque debates forced Obama back onto tightrope

By Terry Mattingly “American principle of religious freedom for ing? Mormon Glenn Beck pushes both buttons
TERRY MATTINGLY all, including Muslims and non-believers,” it on the National Mall.
President Barack Obama did something one wouldn’t hurt for Obama to join a local church, 5. The nation’s Catholic bishops oppose the

Sunday this fall that caught many in the nation-
al press off guard. He went to church.
The First Family walked across Lafayette
Square Park to St. John’s Episcopal Church, a
parish so close to the White House that many
call it the “Church of the Presidents.” The
Obamas set down front and received Holy
Communion.
Was this really an important news story?
Timing was everything. The Obama family
had not occupied a public pew -- as opposed to
attending services at Camp David -- since Eas-
ter. And this Sept. 19 church visit came shortly
after a Pew Research Center poll found that 18
percent of Americans insist on believing that
Obama is a Muslim, a stunning number that
was up from 11 percent in March 2009.
Debates about Obama’s faith didn’t top the
Religion Newswriters Association list of the
year’s top 10 stories, after figuring so promi-
nently in 2008 and 2009. However, this year’s
No. 1 story -- fierce debates nationwide about
a planned mosque and community center near
New York’s Ground Zero -- once again forced
the president out onto a painfully familiar reli-
gious tightrope. The White House even became
involved in efforts to convince an obscure Flor-
ida pastor to cancel his “International Burn a
On
Religion
Koran Day” media event on, of course, Sept.
11.
It was that kind of year, with many of the
most vital news stories and trends rooted in
confusing clashes about religious liberty, law,
history and tradition. The remaining nine sto-
ries are listed below.
Obama has, in numerous speeches and his
two memoirs, offered detailed testimonies about
his progressive faith and why he feels at home
in the United Church of Christ, a freewheeling
flock that has long helped define the left wing
of Protestantism. Nevertheless, only 34 percent
of Pew poll participants said the president is a
Christian and a stunning 43 percent could not
identify his current religion. Only 46 percent of
Democrats, and 43 percent of African-Ameri-
cans, said Obama is a Christian.
One Baptist progressive was blunt. While
the president must continue to defend the
said the Rev. J. Brent Walker, executive direc-
tor of the Baptist Joint Committee.
“His recent Democratic predecessors did
just that,” noted Walker.
“The public remembers pictures of Presi-
dent Clinton leaving Foundry Memorial United
Methodist Church with Bible in hand during
his presidency. President Carter taught Sunday
school at First Baptist Church of the City of
Washington, D.C. ... President Obama should
not do this simply for show; but an active, vis-
ible practice of his Christianity would help
counter misunderstandings and lies about his
faith.”
Here’s the rest of the RNA top 10:
2. The catastrophic earthquake in Haiti
sparks relief efforts by many different kinds of
faith-based groups. An independent group of
Baptists from Idaho spends some time in a Hai-
tian jail after accusations of child smuggling.
3. Pope Benedict XVI is accused of help-
ing to delay actions against pedophile priests in
Ireland, Germany, the United States and other
countries while, as a cardinal, he led a key
Vatican office between 1981 and 2005. Several
bishops resign.
4. The Tea Party -- Religious Right believers
or talk-radio fans attacking government spend-
White House health-care reform bill, in yet an-
other clash over public funding for abortion.
The bill passes, with strong support from many
liberal Catholics and other religious progres-
sives.
6. The General Assembly of the Presbyte-
rian Church (USA) votes -- for the fourth time
-- to ordain noncelibate gay clergy. Once again,
regional presbyteries still have the option to say
“no.”
7. Hard times force cuts in many religious
headquarters, from the long-suffering world of
old-line Protestantism to conservative groups,
such as Focus on the Family.
8. Religious groups debate whether links
exist between traditional forms of many faiths
and the suicides of gay young people who have
been bullied by peers.
9. The Pew Forum’s U.S. Religious Knowl-
edge Survey finds that people with intense
views about religion -- whether pro or con --
know the most correct answers.
10. The U.S. Supreme Court convenes for
the first time ever without a Protestant justice in
its ranks -- with six Catholics and three Jews.

Start the new year with a good book
We hope everyone had a
nice and safe holiday season
this year. The library is wrap-
ping up another challenging
but busy year. Library fund-

We are not certain what 2011
will bring. We still hope to
be able to resume our former
hours at some point. In the
meantime, if there is a par-
ticular title of book, movie,
or music CD that you would
like and we do not own,
please don’t hesitate to ask
staff to interlibrary loan the
material for you.
13 new DVD titles were

SECRETS OF
HARMONY GROVE –
Mindy Starns Clark
Philadelphia advertising
executive Sienna Collins
learns she is under investiga-
tion by the federal govern-
ment for crimes she knows
nothing about. Suspecting
the matter has something to
do with one of her invest-
ments, the Harmony Grove
Bed & Breakfast in Lancaster
County, she heads there, only
to find her ex-boyfriend dead
and the manager of the B and
B unconscious. As Sienna
searches for the truth and
tries to clear her name, she is
forced to depend on the faith
of her childhood, the wisdom
of the Amish, and the insight
of the man she has recently
begun dating. The secrets she
uncovers in Harmony Grove
threaten not just her bed-
and- breakfast, but also her
credibility, her beliefs, and
ultimately her life.
ALMOST LOST,
NEARLY FOUND – Nancy
Hemmerslough
In a small Midwest town

the Rubinson girls are gov-

rules of their time and place,
although Peggy, the young-
er sister, steal from Victory

hopes someone tall will ask

Saturday, Jan. 1, 2011
Take advantage of the many
opportunities afforded you in
the coming months, and a rise in
status could become possible if
your ambitions are realistic and
attainable. Regardless, do your best
in everything.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -
Wishing for something in particular
to happen is one thing, but believing
it will occur just because you want it
to is another. Kidding yourself could
cause depression.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -
Being restless might intensify your
ambitions, but if it causes you to
engage in an activity you’ve never
tried before, tread softly. Your
motivation is admirable, but it may
mean trouble.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -
Behaving in a competitive fashion
might arouse the brinksmanship of
another, which could catch you off
guard. Be careful; it could provoke
some serious consequences.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - For
some people it’s a day to make plans
for the future, and you might be one
of those folks thinking ahead. It’s
okay to do so, but try to be realistic
instead of an impractical dreamer.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -
Achieving success with your plans
for the day is within your reach, as
long as you don’t trip over your own
feet. Pursue each thing realistically
and you’ll reach your goal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Being
indifferent about what is going
on around you may cause you to
drift into unfriendly waters and run
aground. If you’re smart, you’ll
consistently check the haps.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -
Allowing others to manipulate you
in order to keep peace may seem like
a good idea, but if they are drawing
you into complicated developments
one step at a time, you’ll regret
keeping mum.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Under no
circumstances should you make a
decision without having all the facts,
even if it’s merely involving a social
situation. Impulsive judgments could
cause avoidable problems.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -
Household troubles that require
serious knowledge should be left up
to the experts. If you attempt to do
something that’s out of your league,
the Holocaust. Her pretty
older sister, Janice, a popu-
lar high school Homecoming
Queen, dutifully follows the
rules for nice girls, but has
a secret life. And when she
is wounded by a disastrous
event that’s never supposed
to happen, she must keep the
secret from everyone, even
herself.
FLIRTING WITH
DESTINY – Sara Hylton
Summer, 1914. As
the storm
c l o u d s
gather over Europe, four
privileged young women
prepare to leave school and
embark on adult life. But for
Louise, Imogen, Cora and
Miranda, the outbreak of war
will change everything, shat-
tering their dreams and upset-
ting their plans for the future.
Instead of foreign holidays
and glamorous parties, lead-
ing to marriage to a suitable
young man, they must learn
to adjust to a new and very
different world. The young
men are called up, travel is
curtailed, and women are
needed for war-work. Some,
like Imogen, find satisfaction
in nursing, but for Louise, in
particular, the adjustment is
very hard. The difficult years
ahead test their characters to
the full, and strain their once-
strong friendship.
HOLLYWOOD HILLS
– Joseph Wambaugh
A circle of teenage bur-
glars that the media has
dubbed the “Bling Ring” has
taken to pillaging the homes
of Hollywood celebrities,
putting the rich and famous
on high alert. Enter LAPD
veteran Nate Weiss, who has
recently become friendly with
B-list director Rudy Ressler,
Nate agrees to take care of
the opulent estate of Ressler’s
fiancée, Leona Brueger while
they’re away. What Nate
doesn’t know is that Nigel
Wickland, Leona’s art dealer
is devising a nefarious plan to
steal two paintings hanging
on the mansion’s walls and
make off with more money
than he’s ever seen. Add in
the Bling Ring and a pair of
drug-addled young copycats
who stumble upon Nigel’s
Tomorrow’s Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
you could badly botch things up.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Be
careful not to overtax yourself trying
to keep up with a strenuous activity
you’ve never done before. Be
honest with those with whom you’re
involved and opt out.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -
If at all possible, temporarily shelve
a disagreeable task that requires
attention until another day when
you’re not so tired. Doing it now just
because it’s staring you in the face is
unnecessary.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) - Be smart, and control events
instead of letting them control you.
If you’re not in the mood, negative
thoughts will prevent you from
having your usual fun.
Sunday, Jan. 2, 2011
It looks like you will be given a
marvelous opportunity in the year
ahead to share something that another
has created. It’ll only happen,
however, if you have a valuable
contribution to make, which doesn’t
necessarily have to be financial.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -
This is likely to be a rewarding day
for you, but if you’re expectations
are too high, you could still be
disappointed. Be realistic about what
you can hope for.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -
Follow your heart when dealing with
one with whom you have emotional
bonds, but don’t necessarily expect
adoring overtures in return. S/he
could merely be too tired to respond
in kind.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -
The probabilities of you receiving
something extremely nice look good,
but it won’t be due to luck. It will
only happen if you’ve done all you
that has been asked of you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -
Because you tend to be more of a
talker than a doer right now, you
might have to force yourself to
be a little less vocal and bit more
industrious. It’s a matter of making a
concerted effort.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If
you have only a certain amount of
funds left to take care of all your
needs, a decision might have to be
made regarding where and when you
should use them. Try to make sound
choices.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - People
heist, and soon Nate and the
rest of the team at Hollywood
Station have a deadly situa-
tion on their hands.
NON-FICTION
TRUST ME –Gordon
Leek
Con men, swindlers, snake-
oil salesmen, carpetbaggers,
and plain everyday liars and
cheats—these names and
the scoundrels behind them
have been around
for hundreds of
years, though their
dodges and decep-
tions have been
refined with the
passage of time.
The worldwide
growth of crimi-
nal fraud has
mushroomed to
such a degree
that tradi-
tional law-
enforcement
techniques
have been unable
to cope effectively with the
fallout. Criminal fraud is a
billion-dollar industry and
has become a staple of orga-
nized crime. In this book,
former Calgary police detec-
tive and fraud expert Gordon
Leek illustrates how a variety
of frauds work and how to
protect yourself from them,
including simple cheque
scams, elaborate telemarket-
ing schemes, Internet swin-
dles, and identity theft.
DEFYING DEMENTIA
– Robert Levine
In this book, longtime
neurologist Robert Levine
argues that we can no lon-
ger ignore threats that loom
uncertain in the future, pre-
tending that dementia cannot
happen to us. The earlier we
begin to defend ourselves,
the greater the chance we
have to emerge victorious
against this very real threat.
Dementia is merciless, comes
in various forms, and does
not necessarily discriminate,
so taking action early is one
of our best defenses. Once
dementia has taken hold,
there are considerable chal-
lenges for both the sufferer
and his or her loved ones. As
American society continues
to grow older, tackling one
of the more confusing and
frightening diseases becomes
an urgent need. This book
urges understanding, offers
preventative measures, con-
siders various treatments, and
looks to the future to see
where we might be headed.
PAVEMENT CHALK
ARTIST – Julian Beever
More than just tradition-
al flat drawings, the works
Beever creates are uniquely
three-dimensional anamor-
will be more receptive to your ideas
if you don’t try to force them down
everyone else’s throats. Try to just
be one among the group instead of
acting like an elected leader.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -
Should something good be in the
making for you, don’t count your
chickens before they hatch. If it never
comes off, you would feel foolish.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Make
sure you don’t attempt to put on any
pretenses just to impress others, and
by the same token, don’t stand in
awe of certain individuals who see
themselves as hotshots.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Even
if it is inconvenient, do what you can
to help a family member or someone
close to you when asked. It would be
inexcusable not to do so because of a
flimsy excuse.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - It’s
quite likely that wherever you go,
you will be highly popular and well-
received. Do have a good time and
enjoy yourself, but guard against
overindulgence of any kind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - If
there is something in particular you
would like to accomplish, put both
your mind and muscles on it, because
wishful thinking alone won’t get you
want you want.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -
Your social plans could sputter a bit
if you’re too tired from yesterday to
fully enjoy what you had planned.
Do what you can to be sociable, but
don’t try to be the life of the party.
Monday, Jan. 3, 2011
Certain partnerships could prove to be
extremely constructive and rewarding
for you in the year ahead, regarding
both your social interactions and
commercial involvements. Try to get
involved in several matters belonging
to each category.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -
This could be an extremely favorable
cycle for you, stemming from certain
situations that you create or control,
as long as you anticipate the gains
involved and go after them. Be
optimistic.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - It’ll
be up to you to realize that you have
a guardian angel hovering over you,
providing you with the inner resolve
to manage anything to which you put
your mind.
