FORT SCOTT TRIBUNE ITEMS OF THE PAST 25 Years Ago 2001 Kansas Gas and Electric Co. officials said the midday power outage that hit Fort Scott and surrounding area Wednesday occurred when a rural resident was using his brush hog to clear part of his property near BourbonCrawford County line. “We had a property owner that was brush-hogging on his property near the county line.: KGE Fort Scott-Pittsburg supervisor Forrest McCoy said. “He hit a downed guy (wire), and it got into the transmission line and knocked off substations all the way to Pittsburg. 50 Years Ago 1976 REDFIELD- This town of 198 persons may have lost its grade school this year, but the efforts of seven of its citizens my have gained the town a condominium. The seven citizens formed The Redfield Rental Housing Association about two weeks ago, and Monday night the housing association voted unanimously to seek to construct an eight-unit condominium under Farmer’s Home Administration (FmHA) financing guidelines on a proposed site in North Redfield. Members of the group are Lyle Hixon, chairman; Roy Johnson, vice chairman; Howard Stine, secretary; Lest Richard, treasurer; and members Dean Fitzsimmons, Lewis Williams and Raymond (Skeet) George. 75 Years Ago 1951 Four Fort Scott Boy Scouts will receive Eagle Scout Awards at a special court of honor. They are Kenneth Lyon, Robert Schmidt, Bill Coleman and Gary Myers. 100 Years Ago 1926 Retail gasoline prices took a drop in Fort Scott today. Filling stations quoting a prices of one cent lower. Today the prices is 20.7 cents including the tax. It was the first change in gasoline prices for months.

Shelter Advocates
What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026 There’s a pleasant lightness in the air today. Things feel fair, which gives us the emotional freedom to start a new conversation or ask the interesting questions that we’ve been holding back. The cosmic weather suggests that even while we’re struggling to find our moments in the spotlight, there’s still room for the small, mundane interactions that quietly turn into more meaningful connections. Love is especially flirty and fun today, so let’s be honest about our intentions and enjoy the lightheartedness. Work emphasizes consistency rather than predicting the future. Overall, holding onto a focused easygoingness can bring us much closer to the life that we want. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) If there’s a need to revisit a conversation with someone, this time around could pave the way for more progress or understanding. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) When it comes to handling money matters, like signing a contract or accepting an offer, make sure that you’re completely clear on the terms and conditions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A former romantic interest could make a return visit. However, you may need to discern whether it’s worth it to let them back in. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Take some time to reconnect with yourself. It’s a great way to find clarity if something’s been on your mind. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s a lovely day for getting together with close friends or reaching out to a friend you haven’t chatted to in a while. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your keen attention to detail may help save the day, especially if there’s a big project or decision on the line. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A new opportunity is on the horizon, but you should take time to assess whether it’s right for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Avoid rushing into anything today. Let things happen organically. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Spend time with people who enrich your life. Do your best to avoid people who drain you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This can be a favorable time to reconnect with an old professional contact or mentor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Revisiting a project that you’ve done in the past, especially if it’s creative, could turn out to be very productive. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Writing down your thoughts about past events can be a helpful way to process them. It could help you find a fresh perspective, too. FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY You possess an exceptional amount of inner strength. When you lock onto a goal, you don’t quit until you reach it. You don’t stop trying just because things get difficult. In fact, you’re probably motivated by a challenge. You get suspicious when a victory comes too easily for you. However, you may be learning that life doesn’t always have to be a fight, and you don’t always have to push yourself to your limits. Expect this year to help you with confronting and letting go of any fears that have prevented you from being able to fully exhale.
