Phillip Tripp, of Cobden, holds his dog Tinker Tuesday at his home. Tripp said he took the dog in after a friend no longer wanted her. Tripp said he retired from the Forest Service about a year ago and bought roughly an acre of land and a fifth wheel trailer that he lives in. When asked how he spends his retirement, Tripp said he’s just “trying to find something to do with the time.” Please see COUNCIL | 3

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Letter to editor ignores tragedy, makes up excuses to attack Israel
W
hat happens to that food once it falls to the hands of Hamas is a different question, reminding everyone that Hamas has used every chance it had to bring rockets and explosives into the Gaza Strip to be used against Israeli civilians.
Assaf Grumberg Israel emissary for the Jewish Federation of Southern Illinois
Thompson Woods article fails to report community's concerns
W
hile I was delighted to see that at least one box turtle has survived the recent onslaught of heavy equipment and soil compaction, this alone is not sufficient indication that Thompson Woods supports a healthy fauna.
Nancy Garwood adjunct professor of plant biology
Art, design students deserve space; move from Barracks long overdue
O
ur Industrial Design department (which would be moving into the renovated Pulliam space) has been relegated to the Blue Barracks: the “temporary� metal buildings near the dorms that were supposed to be a short-term solution while a new building for Industrial Design was built.

TRACK MORPH INFUSE DIVINE While the men were away, the women — MANNED THE FORT Aries — Today is a 9 — Consult with experts on negotiations and strategy. It’s getting romantic. Let a partner take the lead while you make something delicious.
Cancer — Today is a 7 — The time is not right for flirtation. If you stumble, get back up. A loved one could be obstinate. Get into a homebody phase, and make some long-awaited changes.
Libra — Today is a 6 — Accept the compliments as well as the criticisms with grace. You have the resources you need. Laughing, especially at oneself, is great therapy.
Capricorn — Today is an 8 — Your universe is expanding. New opportunities are popping up all around you. Grab the ones that feed your heart. Be flexible in romance. Give and take.
Taurus — Today is a 7 — Don’t let a minor disagreement mess up all your plans. Compromise. Take a breather. It’s about to get busy. Save time by sticking rigorously to the rules.
Leo — Today is a 9 — There’s more money coming in, thank goodness. It’s not a good time to travel, though. Studying and research goes well, as you have keen focus and concentration.
Scorpio — Today is a 7 — You have the resources you need, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Worrying is no good. Better learn quickly. Remain flexible, yet attentive. Smile (whether you mean it or not).
Aquarius — Today is a 7 — Accept romantic challenges and be rewarded. Life’s too short to waste with doubts and fears. So what if you fail? Then you fail. You can accomplish far more than you think.
Gemini — Today is a 6 — There’s more of what you want at home. Listen to others, and spend on durable rather than momentary pleasures. You’re lucky in love for the next two days.
Virgo — Today is a 9 — You’re on fire. No time to brag about recent accomplishments. Besides, increased arrogance could mess with your romance levels. Drink a dose of modesty.
Sagittarius — Today is a 7 — Find support and work in your own community. Allow others to be generous, and be generous yourself. Use your network. Stay frugal and avoid traveling, if possible. Give thanks.
Pisces — Today is an 8 — Expect a heavy workload. It’s helpful to make room for diverse points of view. Your adaptability plays in your favor. When confronted with a decision, choose love over money.

SIU alumna Brittany Riley pauses during a workout Tuesday at the Saluki Track and Field Complex. While attending SIU, Riley was a twotime NCAA champion in the weight throw. She holds the school record for weight throw as well as top 10 rankings in shot put and discus.
DAILY EGYPTIAN Junior outfielder Michelle Bradley catches a fly ball during the Salukis’ last home game of the season Tuesday at Charlotte West Stadium. With two runs in the first inning and two more in the sixth, the Salukis defeated Murray State University 4-2.
I
asked Katie how she was feeling, and she didn’t feel quite too well, which is why I made the change in the fifth inning. I thought we had great at bats early, and then I think we started to have some not so great at bats. — Kerri Blaylock head coach
