TIDBITS® SAYS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOSEPTEMBER BABIES

by Kathy WolfeIt’s birthday time for those born in September! Here are a few tidbits about these autumn babies, both past and present. • EdSullivanwas62yearsoldwhentheBeatlesmadetheirfirstliveappearanceinAmericaonhisTV variety show in 1964. Every Sundaynight since 1948, this former boxer hadpromised“a reallybig show” tohisviewers,frequently prefacing his introductions with,“And now, right here on our stage…” TheBeatles’performancemade thatweek’sshowthe most-watched program in TV history todate. Sullivan’s program remained on the airuntil1971.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The typically tidy Ram or Ewe might want to butt out until things are settled on the home front. But get involved and let your Ovine sense of order help restore domestic tranquility.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s flair for fine-tuning complicated fiscal dealings comes in handy when an unex-pected financial problem arises. Stay with it until it’s resolved to your satisfaction.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family aspects remain strong. There might be some unresolved difficulties, but continued at-tempts to smooth things over eventually prove to be successful. A major purchase looms.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A promise that was made but never kept sud-denly re-emerges in your life. You now have to decide if you’re still interested in what it offers or if you’ve moved past it.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Romance comes to unattached Leos and Leo-nas who have been waiting for Cupid to target them for far too long. Domestic purr-fection is also enhanced for paired Felines.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You need to take a much-needed break from that demanding project before too much energy-draining tension sets in. And don’t be ashamed to ask for help.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Change makes demands that you might find unwelcome at this time. But instead of concen-trating on the short run, look toward potential benefits down the road.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You have a gift for reviving projects that seem beyond repair. Use that same ability to restore a relationship that seems to have turned from loving to lifeless.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Expect to be asked to use your combined wis-dom and humor to resolve a problem. After all, folks not only value your advice, they also like how you give it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Most people consider you solid and steady. But you also can be quite capricious (which is a Latin word for “describing the behavior of Goats”) when it suits your needs.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) People treat you as you wish to be treated. So if you want a change in your relationship, make it happen. Also expect someone to reveal some long-held secrets.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay with the decision you made, despite a sud-den torrent of advice to the contrary from well-meaning people. Remember: You know your needs better than anyone.

BORN THIS WEEK: You like things tidy, with no loose ends. You also enjoy research and would make an excellent investigative reporter or scientist.

(NC)—Experts worldwide agree that break-fast is the most important meal of the day, for kids and adults alike. But unfortunate-ly for parents, some children just don't see it that way. Whether it's the taste, or that they're just not hungry, fussy eaters can be hard to please first thing in the morning. Re-gardless, it's important that kids consume a well-balanced and nutritious meal especially as they go back to school. Since mornings can be hectic, serving ready-to-eat cereal is a great option for many parents as it's quick, simple and they can feel confident that their kids are getting the important nutrients and the energy they need for the day. More in-formation about the nutritional benefits of choosing cereal can be found online at www.loveyourcereal.ca.

The following are a few tips on how to jazz up your child's breakfast cereal so they will actually look forward to eating in the morn-ing and hopefully develop a life-long habit.
