Dude, Retire!

I'll never forget the � rst time I met Peyton Manning. He was on the phone, and I had just snapped a photo of him in the most annoy-

ing way possible: I had my trusty Minolta set on the anti-redeye � ash setting, the kind where the � ash pops over and over again until your subject gets annoyed and stops smiling. And I'll never forget what he said to me: "Dude ... what are you doing?"

� at's the same day I learned that photogra-

phers can't just walk up to the Colts' sideline and stick a camera in their quarterback's face, even with the anti-red-eye setting. What can I say? We were both rookies that season. I would later graduate to Kodak, Nikon and Cannon cameras, and Manning would go on to have a pretty decent

career, too.� e � rst time I really

started paying attention to Manning's career was during his tenure at Tennessee. It's funny to hear people knock his arm-strength now, because while he was in college, he was a straight-up gunslinger of a quarterback. I re-member Steve Spurrier taunting him before big games. Nowadays, we all know not to overly criticize college players, ostensibly for the reason that they are kids and amateurs.

Over the years, at Indianap ol i s and Denver, we've had the distinct pleasure of watching Manning all but dominate the league. He wasn't invin-cible, as his two Super Bowl losses proclaim, but he was the best in the game. He holds every record that matters: wins (200),

yards from scrimmage, touchdowns and MVPs. He was the funniest athlete ever to host "Saturday Night Live"; he's made "Omaha" the replacement term for "hike" in backyards across the country; and he gave the chicken parm sandwich its own, long-overdue jingle. That, right there, is worthy of considerable praise (and consider-at ion for d inner tonight).

After winning the Super Bowl, his gratu-itous beer name-drop-ping aside (no, he wasn't paid to say that, but he does own a share of the brand's beer dis-t r i b u t o r s h i p i n Louisiana, and one sur-mises he made his money back), his not stating the obvious ... that he was retiring ... was a class move. In doing so (or by not doing so) he kept the

focus, rightly, on his team's victory.

Should Manning retire? Of course he should. He is playing the most violent game in the world (next to � ghting and hurling). He has nothing le� to prove, and he leaves world recognized as the best ever at his position. Granted, I would still pick Joe Montana to lead my team if my life depended on it, but I think Manning catches my dri� .

You don't get chances like this in life — to leave on top — you earn them. If he were to come back next year, rest assured, I'd break out the old Minolta. But this time I'd be the one asking what he was doing, dude.

Healthy Chicken For Sunday DinnerAs a kid growing up, Sunday a� ernoon a� er church was family time. � e table was

set with the � nest china and linens. It was always fried chicken, mashed potatoes with loads of real butter, white cream gravy, green beans fresh from the garden or home canned, corn on the cob or canned corn, biscuits, and of course, there was dessert: Angel food cake, pecan pie, peach cobbler, apple crisp, again, depending on the season.

Today a tradition that has stuck with me is cloth linens and china, but I have to admit, as much as I loved fried chicken and mashed potatoes, it's only on very special occasions these days. Today I still love chicken, but I have found healthy ways to cook it. My, how times have changed.

Polynesian Pineapple Chicken1/3 cup ketchup 2 carrots, thinly sliced3 T. reduced sodium soy sauce 1 T. minced peeled fresh ginger3 T. sugar 1/2 lb. fresh snow peas, trimmed2 T. rice vinegar 1/4 cup sliced almonds1 T. cornstarch 1 (8 oz.) can water chestnuts, drained3 tsp. canola oil 1 (8 oz.) can pineapple chunks1 lb. skinless boneless chicken breasts, in juice, drained cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and cornstarch in bowl until smooth; set aside. Heat 2 tsp. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate. Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in skillet. Add carrots and ginger; cook, stirring occasion-ally, until carrots begin to so� en, about 2 minutes. Stir in snow peas, almonds, water chestnuts, pineapple, and chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until snow peas are crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Add ketchup mixture; bring to boil and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Serves 4.

Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 6-7 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate. Heat remaining 1 T. oil in skillet. Add garlic and oregano; cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, and tomatoes; cook until tomatoes begin to so� en, about 3 minutes. Add lemon juice and chicken; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to large bowl and add rotini, feta, and Parmesan. Toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 6.

Chicken Marsala4 (1/4 lb.) thin-sliced chicken breast cutlets 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms1/2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. all-purpose � our 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper 1/4 cup Marsala2 tsp. olive oil 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.

During Red Cross Month in March, the American Red Cross en-courages eligible donors to join in its lifesaving mission by giving blood.

Since 1943, every U.S. president has designated March as Red Cross Month to recognize how the Red Cross helps people down the street, across the country and around the world.

Red Cross Month is a celebration of the everyday heroes, like Karla Essmiller, who are the face of the Red Cross in their communi-ties. Essmiller began donat-ing blood and even coordi-nated a few blood drives when she was in college. “Donating blood is a simple gi� that I can make that may help up to three people live another day,” she said. “� at makes me feel like a hero!”

� e Red Cross depends on blood donor heroes across the nation to collect enough blood to meet the needs of patients at ap-proximately 2,600 hospitals nationwide. Donors of all blood types are needed to help accident and burn victims, patients undergo-ing organ transplants, those receiving cancer treatments and others who rely on blood products.

Make an appointment to become a hero to pa-tients in need by down-loading the free Red Cross

Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

CELEBRATE RED CROSS MONTH BY GIVING BLOOD IN MARCH

NEWScommunityRend Lake College stu-

dents packed the � eatre � ursday morning to learn all about distracted driving from Miss Illinois 2016 Crystal Davis and Illinois State Police (ISP) Trooper Christopher Watson.

Approximately 175 stu-dents attended the presen-tation to hear from the speakers, both of whom shared personal experi-ences with the issue. Both Davis and Watson spoke passionately about the topic and provided several dif-ferent statistics to drive their points home.

Davis, who was involved in a car accident several years ago, addressed the audience � rst and focused on her experiences as well as the Miss Illinois platform Crystal Clear Driving – Eyes on the Road.

“If you’re distracted driving, or the other person is distracted driving, and you’re involved in a crash, it’s not an accident. It’s 100 percent preventable,” said Davis. “� ere is no need to be responsible for someone else’s life. You’re not a pro-fessional multi-tasker. If you look away, only for � ve seconds, at 55 miles per hour, you’ve crossed a foot-ball � eld. You always need to be very alert and looking ahead.”

Davis also spoke about a close friend of hers who

passed away last year because another driver, who was distracted behind the wheel, caused an acci-dent. Watson then took the stage to speak from the law enforcement side of dis-tracted driving, sharing times when community members would contact the ISP because of a dangerous driver.

“� e number one, most-dangerous things we do is get in a car,” explained Watson. “Last year, on U.S. roadways, about 33,100 people died. My presenta-tion isn’t about me catching you, and you shouldn’t think of it that way. It’s about being in the vehicle and making good choices. � is is a huge issue in our society. It’s about you thinking how these deci-sions are going to impact your life.”

During his presentation, Watson said an individual

who is driving distracted is 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash. Commonly confused with driving under the influ-ence, distracted drivers act as though they have a blood alcohol content of .16 – double the legal limit.

“Are there dumb things we can do in our cars that aren’t against the law? Yes. But it’s all about a choice. Eighty-one percent of drivers admit to texting and driving. And the other 19 percent? � ey’re not telling the truth. We all do this,” Watson said. “Make good choices because it will change your life.”

According to informa-tion from the ISP, driver inattention is a factor in more than 1 million crashes annually in North America. The result of these acci-dents is nearly $40 billion per year in an economic impact.

What you want to beeventually, that youmust be every day; andby and by the qualityof your deeds will getdown into your soul.

–Frank Crane

Is there anything that will stop Donald Trump, especially the last attempt by Marco Rubio? The answer is no.

I found it interesting Sunday morning on MSNBC that Al Sharpton was elaborating on Rubio's comment about Trump being a con man. These negative digs are coming from a man (Al Sharpton) that has some personal issues, enough so I con-tinue to wonder how he stays out of jail over taxes.

I found myself continu-ously wanting to remind those — Republicans and Democrats — that talk about Trump the con man that Barack Obama had no experience in the business sector, had little political experience. � e only thing he could do was give a great speech. I've got to give him that.

Obama's whole political career was won by default, starting with the Illinois Senate. How was he elected? Easy, he was chosen by the I l l inoi s D emo crat i c machine and it spun from there. � en he continued with super delegates success. I touched on that brie� y last week. Yet no one called Barack Obama a con man.

In comes Hillary Clinton. Super delegates will keep her on top along with the DNC and liberal media. She started the primary season up more than 400 delegates over Bernie because of super delegates. Not that I

like what Bernie Sanders stands for, but I do think he's real and sincere, and he's getting a bad deal all the way around.

Last week I really didn't appreciate it when, during a rally for Hillary, speaker Bill Clinton had a veteran escorted out because he asked a question about a lie Hillary told over the caskets of those killed at Benghazi. � e kicker was, the man ordered out by dra� dodger Bill Clinton was a veteran who served two tours of duty in Iraq. Of course the Hillary supporters cheered. It kind of tells you what's important to many Hillary supporters, but certainly not all of them.

On to South Carolina. Hillary had a blowout; 74% carried her. According to CBS Ne ws , Af r ican Americans accounted for 61% of the primary voters, a l t h o u g h A f r i c a n Americans comprise just 29% of South Carolina's population??

Nor will I be shocked on Super Tuesday if Hillary comes out on top again. � e DNC is against Sanders just like the GOP establishment and liberal media is against Trump. Both are last ditch e� orts to stop outsiders, to get rid of people they can't buy or control.

Our country is hungry for real leaders. We all know this has been a very strange campaign, one that no one could have pre-dicted six months ago or

even three months ago. At this point anything can happen. Last Sunday Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, a ve teran (D-Hawaii), announced she resigned from the DNC as Vice Chair so she could support Bernie Sanders, To me that speaks loud and clear!

On to Super Tuesday, March 1. If Trump takes it — and the numbers show he will — as well as March 15, it's pretty much over. In my opinion there will be three le� standing: Trump, Rubio and Cruz. If none get the delegates they need then it's possible we're looking at an open Republican Convention, and that could back� re on the GOP.

I'll leave you this week with a � nal thought (not a prediction):

President Trump;Vice President John

Kasich;U.S. Attorney General

Chris Christie;Surgeon General Ben

Carson;Director of Education

Bernie Sanders;Hillary Clinton indicted.

Until next week.

Maintaining a healthy weight is important at any age. But avoiding being overweight or obese can be particularly crucial for seniors, considering many illnesses are tied to body weight. Maintaining a healthy immune system also can require eating a balanced, nutritionally sound diet.

� e Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center at Durham Medical Center in Virginia says people need to change how they eat for every decade they reach. Caloric intake should be reduced because individuals are generally moving around less, have less muscle and their meta-bolic rates decline. People who find that they are having trouble losing weight in their 50s and older may be basing weight-loss goals on calorie recommendations for younger people.

One challenging thing about eating less overall is supplementing with more nutrient-rich foods. Older bodies still require similar amounts of protein, vita-mins and minerals as younger ones, but older men and women must balance that need with their need to consume less calo-ries. Consuming more fruits, vegetables and lean protein sources, including beans, and choosing whole grains over re� ned starchy foods can be the key.

Watch what you drink, as well. Soft drinks and other sugary beverages may be packed with calories you don’t need. Choose un-

sweetened beverages and opt for water as much as possible. Protect yourself against dehydration, which can be harder to detect as you get older.

In addition to modifying food and beverage choices and reducing their calorie intake, seniors should con-tinue to exercise. Healthy eating paired with moder-ate exercise remains one of the best combinations for healthy weight loss or weight maintenance. � e goal is to consume fewer calories and expend more energy. While cardiovascu-lar exercises can be a good way to get the heart pumping and stimulate your metabolic rate, as you age you should perform strength-training and weight-bearing exercises as well. Muscle mass natu-rally diminishes with age, and according to the Mayo Clinic if you avoid strength exercises you can eventu-ally lose muscle and in-crease the percentage of fat in your body. Strength training also helps you develop stronger bones,

which can help prevent fractures. In addition, as you gain muscle, your body will begin to burn calories more efficiently, making your time in and out of the gym more productive.

Apart from diet and ex-ercise, aging adults may need to consult with their doctors about nutritional supplements. Your body may produce less stomach acid as you get older, making it more di� cult to absorb vitamins from food, including vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Aging skin is less able to transform sun-light into the vitamin, which can a� ect the body’s ability to absorb calcium. De� ciencies in vitamins D and B12 and calcium can result in a number of health conditions. Routine blood work can help pinpoint whether you are de� cient in key nutrients.

� e body’s nutritional and � tness needs change as a person ages. � ose uncer-tain about the lifestyle changes they will need to make should speak with their physicians.

DIET AND EXERCISE NEEDS CHANGE AS MEN AND WOMEN AGE


Nail biting, also known as onychophagia, is a common habit that a� ects people of all ages. Biting your nails usually stems from stress or forms as a nervous habit. Most research says that chil-dren and teenagers make up the greatest number of regular nail biters.

On the surface nail biting may seem like a trivial thing in terms of a� ecting your health. Although it can seem like biting your nails does nothing more than make the hands look less attractive, there are actually other dangers to repeated nail biting that people prone to the habit should consider.

Firstly, biting your nails can be an unsanitary behav-ior. � e � ngers can pick up all measures of contami-nants, and the nails can be an ideal location for bacteria

to thrive since nails are more di� cult to keep clean than the surface of the hands. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, bacteria like E. coli can live beneath the tips of your nails. When you bite your nails, those bacteria end up in your gastrointestinal system and can lead to infec-tion. The nails also can harbor fecal matter and many other unsavory micro-scopic particles, even para-sites. Biting your nails gives these tiny invaders easy access to your body.

Nail biting also may lead to infections on the � ngers around the nail bed. The infection, called paronychia, causes redness, swelling and pain around the nail. Microorganisms can get into the skin through tiny tears and abrasions that occur while biting the nails and cuticles, says The Mayo Clinic. If the infection damages the nail bed, you can end up affecting nail growth.

Should you have warts on your hands or � ngers, they easily can be transfered to your lips and mouth through nail biting.

Nail biting also can cause problems to your teeth. Prolonged nail biting may a� ect how the teeth form in children. It can interfere with dental occlusion, or the manner in which the upper and lower teeth come to-

gether to bite. Eventually teeth can shi� out of posi-tion. The Academy of General Dentistry estimates that nail biting can result in thousands of dollars of extra dental work.

While biting your nails may seem like a harmless habit, it actually can a� ect personal health in a number of ways. Explore the di� erent ways to keep from biting your nails to improve the health of your � ngers, your teeth and the rest of your body.

Stress is a part of life for many men and women. But as prevalent as stress is, many people are unaware of the potentially negative side e� ects that can result when stress goes untreated.

According to t he American Psychological Association, chronic stress forces the muscles in the body to be taut and tense for long periods of time, a guardedness that can make men and women suscep-tible to stress-related disor-ders such as migraine head-aches. In addition, the APA notes that stress can cause

people to hyperventilate, which can trigger panic attacks in those prone to such events. Long-term stress has also been linked to a host of cardiovascular ailments, including hyper-tension, heart attack and stroke.

Stress can be triggered by a host of things, and what’s stressful for some may not be for others. But while people may react dif-ferently to certain situa-tions, there are some common warning signs of stress that men and women should learn so they can

more quickly address any problems with the stress they might encounter.

Physical symptomsStress manifests itself in

various ways, including physically. Physical symp-toms of stress may a� ect the musculoskeletal system, causing muscles to tense up and remain that way until a stressful situation has come and gone. Aches and pains can result as well, and some people coping with stress may experience nausea and dizziness.

Stress also can a� ect the cardiovascular system. When that occurs, uncom-fortable and potentially dangerous symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and chest pain may result.

Emotional symptomsStress also can affect

mood. According to the Cleveland Clinic, signs of emotional stress include apathy, feeling on edge, a

change in eating habits, and changes in sleeping pat-terns, which may involve sleeping more than usual or di� culty getting to sleep.

Cognitive symptomsSome people coping with

stress may have to deal with certain cognitive symp-toms. Such men and women may find them-selves in constant states of worry, and their thoughts may race to an extent that makes it di� cult to accom-pl ish cer tain tasks .

Additional cognitive symp-toms include poor judg-ment, inability to focus and feelings of forgetfulness and disorganization.

Behavioral symptomsStress also can a� ect be-

havior, and men and women suffering from stress may act nervously. Nail biting, � dgeting and pacing are among the be-havioral symptoms of stress, which may be more noticeable to loved ones or colleagues than the indi-

vidual exhibiting the symp-toms. Some people also may procrastinate and avoid their responsibilities when dealing with stress. Increased use of alcohol and drugs or suddenly smoking more cigarettes also are behavioral symp-toms of stress.

Men and women con-cerned about stress should consult their physicians and keep an eye out for any potential warning signs that stress levels are reach-ing unhealthy heights.

NIP THE NAIL BITING HABIT FOR YOUR HEALTH

Biting your nails puts you at the risk of infec-tion and other health ailments.

Replacement China

Q: I have a partial set of Sakura china in the Laredo pattern. It was discontin-ued at least 20 years ago. Can you help me? I love this pattern and would like to at least have a complete set for six. — Betty, Conway, Arkansas

A: Replacements can probably help you track down the pieces that you're missing, but be prepared for sticker shock, because it won't be cheap. The address is P.O. Box 26029, Greenboro, NC 27428. In addition to china, Replace-ments also helps complete silver � atware patterns and crystal, and even offers free pattern identi� cation. Its toll-free telephone number is 800-737-5223.

***Q: My late great-aunt

was a seamstress through-out the 1920s and '30s. I am in the process of liqui-dating her estate in a suburb of St. Louis. In ad-dition to two Singer sewing machines, there are thim-bles, thread cases and an assortment of numerous other items, all relating to her profession. Because I can't save everything, I need your advice. — Mandy, Tempe, Arizona

A: I don't want to needle you, but be very careful when si� ing through this estate. Thimbles have become extremely collect-ible, so you should be aware of certain ones, es-pecially those cra� ed by James Fenton, Charles Horner, the Simon Broth-ers, and ones featuring

unusual designs such as the "I les Venti lated � imble."

Because Singer sewing machines made during the 1920s and '30s are plentiful and o� en priced for less than $150 at local shops, I do not think they are worth keeping. � e real value of these machines could, however, be the contents of the drawers. Look for vintage needle cases, because one made by W. Avery & Sons re-cently sold for $300 at auction. Examine care-fully measuring tapes and other items issued as ad-vertising premiums. So you won't get stuck, steer clear of new thimbles ad-vertised as limited edi-tions. � ey rarely increase in value.

***Q: I have a � rst edition

of Frank Yerbe's novel "Bride of Liberty." I have been o� ered $50 for it. — Bill, Akron, Ohio

A: Take it. According to several used-book dealers I consulted, a � rst edition of the novel you men-tioned generally sells in the $15-$25 range. It was published by Doubleday in 1954.

� e Will of God

Followers of Christ do not believe in luck; they believe in the Lord. � ey do not believe in karma; they believe that the creator, who is all-pow-erful, all knowing, and everywhere present, has a plan for this world and for each of His children. True believers seek to know and do the will of God for their life. David’s prayer is a clarion call for all who would know and do the will of God. “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God, may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” (Psalm 143:10 NIV) Here are some steps to help us learn and deploy the will of God in our life.

PUT JESUS FIRST IN YOUR LIFE. You will never discover and im-plement God’s will until you make Jesus the utmost Lord of your life. � e apostle Paul spent the early years of his life executing his own plans. But Paul had a Damascus road conversion where he fell from his high horse and called Jesus “Lord.” Paul asked, “Who are you, Lord?” He asked Jesus a question that

every believer who sur-renders to the Lordship of Christ should ask, “Lord, what do you want me to do?” (Acts 5:5-6, 10-16) Have you made Jesus the Savior and Lord of your life? “� at if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

PRESENT YOUR BODY TO THE LORD. “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit . . . and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price, therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (I Corinthians 6:18-20) Paul gives us a key in knowing and doing the will of God. It is presenting our bodies to the Lord as “a living sacrifice” and being “transformed by the re-newing of your mind.” � en we can “prove what

is that good and accept-able and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2)

PRAY FOR GOD’S WILL TO BE DONE EACH DAY. Jesus taught us to pray this way in the Lord’s Prayer, “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9-13) We have the promise of God, “In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:6) God’s Word speaks to those who take time to listen and He listens to those who take the time to pray.

PAY ATTENTION TO GOD’S VOICE. God has a plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11) Learn what God’s will is by reading and meditating on His Word. James ad-monishes us to not make our own plans but to seek His will. (James 4:13-17) David asks God to teach him His will. (Psalm 143:10) Pray for wisdom to discern His will. (Ephesians 5:8-10, 15)

PARTNER WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. David prayed, “May your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” (Psalm 143:10) In the book of Acts we find it was

normal to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice and obey His leading.

PROSTRATE YOUR SOUL TO THE FA-THER’S WILL. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus agonized in prayer, surrendering to the Fa-ther’s will. (Matthew 26:36:44) “Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” Surrendering to God’s will brings clarity, peace, and the power of purpose.

PURSUING GOD’S WILL BRINGS YOU INTO A SPECIAL RE-LATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. � ere is a stronger bond than your natural born family. Jesus said, “For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven, is my brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12:46-50) Consider this joyous promise, “We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” (Acts 5:29-32)

Is Jesus your Lord? � en seek to do His will in everything you do.

Making the Most of Cat’s 9 Lives

D E A R P A W ’ S CORNER: I’m extremely curious about the average lifespan of cats. Years ago my husband found a stray kitten about 6 weeks old. “Skeezix” lived to be 26 years old until he passed away one night a� er two strokes. We also rescued a stray we named “Sheba,” and we had her for 25 years (the vet couldn’t believe she’d lived so long), so she was at least 26 or 27 when congestive heart failure took her. My two remaining cats, “Mama” and “Baby,” are about 16 and 19 years old, respec-tively.

We’ve never done any-

thing special in terms of care and feeding. � ey all have been spayed or neu-tered, gotten regular vet-erinary care and lived indoors exclusively. I feed them Dad’s dry cat food, split a can of wet food between them occasion-ally, and of course a few Whiskas treats every day. Is it normal for cats to have such longevity? — Fay, via email

DEAR FAY: � ose are amazingly long-lived cats! � e average life span of a common housecat is about 15 years, so it’s safe to say that all of your cats have made it well past that mark.

Is there a magic formula to help your cats live longer? No one has that, but there are some things that will improve a cat’s life over the long term, and you have done all of them. Regular vet care, keeping cats indoors (away from many dangers and stressors), routine feeding and, of course,

lots of TLC can all con-tribute to long life.

So, who is the oldest cat ever documented? That would be Creme

Puff, a cat in Austin, Texas, who made the Guinness Book of World Records in 2005 at the spry age of 38!

OR PRE-OWNED CAR,

TRUCK OR SUV!


ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whatever decisions you’re faced with this week, rely on your strong Aries instincts, and base them on your honest feelings, not necessar-ily on what others might expect you to do.TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) Your sensitive Taurean spirit is pained by what you feel is an unwarranted at-tack by a mi� ed colleague. But your sensible self should see it as proof that you must be doing something right.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) More � ne-tuning might be in order before you can be absolutely cer-tain that you’re on the right track. Someone close to you might o� er to help. � e weekend favors family get-togethers.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) � e week continues to be a balancing act ‘twixt dreaming and doing. But by week’s end, you should have a much better idea of what you actu-ally plan to do and how you plan to do it.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Chang-ing your plans can be risky, but it can also be a necessary move. Recheck your facts before you act. Tense encounters should ease by midweek, and all should be well by the weekend. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might still be trying to adjust to recent changes. But things should improve considerably as you get to see some positive results. An uneasy personal matter calls for more patience.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Congratulations. Your good in-tentions are � nally recognized, and

long-overdue appreciation should follow. Keep working toward improvements wherever you think they’re necessary.SCORPIO (October 23 to No-vember 2) Try to look at your options without prejudging any of them. Learn the facts, and then make your assessments. Spend the weekend enjoying � lms, plays and musical events.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone might want to take advantage of the Sagit-tarian’s sense of fair play. But before you ride o� to right what you’ve been told is a wrong, be sure of your facts.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might be surprised to learn that not everyone agrees with your ideas. But this can prove to be a good thing. Go over them and see where improvements can be made.AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-ruary 18) A� er taking advice on a number of matters in recent months, expect to be called on to return the gesture. And, by the way, you might be surprised at who makes the request.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Reassure everyone concerned that a change of mind isn’t necessarily a change of heart. You might still want to pursue a speci� c goal, but feel a need to change the way you’ll get there.BORN THIS WEEK: You are able to make room in your heart for others, and that makes you a very special person in their lives.


• It was American my-thologist Joseph Campbell who made the following sage observation: "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."

• If you're an afi cionado of barbed wire, be sure to head to LaCrosse, Kansas, during the � rst weekend of May. Collectors gather there every year for the Antique Barbed Wire Swap and Sell Festival.

• You might be sur-

prised to learn that both men and women have an Adam's apple; it's more visible on men because men have larger larynxes and because women tend to have more fatty tissue in their necks.

• You doubtless know of Alexander Hamilton, o n e o f A m e r i c a ' s Founding Fathers, as the nation's � rst Secretary of the Treasury, and you've probably heard that he was fatally wounded in a

duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. Most of his accomplishments are not common knowledge, though — and they deserve to be. Born into poverty on the Caribbean island of Nevis, the ille-gitimate son of a Scots merchant, Hamilton began work as a clerk at the age of 11. His employ-ers were so impressed with his intelligence that they paid for him to attend school in America, where he became involved in revolutionary politics. He was a lieutenant colonel by the age of 20 and managed to marry into one of the most distin-guished families in New

York. In addition to writing most of the Fe d e r a l i s t Pap e r s , Hamilton founded the New York Post, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Mint.

• Marie de Medici, queen of France in the early 17th century, once had a gown made that was embellished with more than 3,000 diamonds and 30,000 pearls.
