SPECIAL EVENT

Bison stars again at Autumn on Prairie Hundreds visit Nachusa Grasslands on Saturday

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Bison were once again the stars at the annual Autumn on the Prairie festival Saturday at the Nachusa Grasslands.

By noon, nearly 360 people had taken wagon tours to see the herd that has grown from 30 to 130 in the last four years, and at least 100 more already had their tickets.

“The bison were very close. We had to stop for them — they were right on the path,” said one rider excitedly as she came back from the ride out into the prairie.

Bison booth volunteer LuAnn McFadden said visitors were getting a good look at the shaggy residents of the Grasslands.

“The bison are very familiar with the tractors [pulling the wagons. Sometimes if the staff needs the check to herd over, they will take them treats,” she said. “So the bison will sometimes come up to the tractors.”

Bill Kleiman, restoration project director at the Grasslands, said the event drew an estimated 800 people, 670 of whom took bison tours.

Temperatures approaching 90 degrees by mid-afternoon under almost cloudless skies didn’t appear to discourage the crowd.

“It was warm, but the event went off very well,” Kleiman said.

Under the many tents sheltering displays and vendors, 3-year-old Gideon Majka-Lauterbach, of Brookfield, was fascinated with a glass case of raptor eggs.

“Mom, mom, look at that!” he said, tugging on her sleeve.

His mother Megan Lauterbach said friends who live in Amboy recommended the festival.

Many displays were geared especially for kids and were accompanied by signs reading “Yes, touch.”

Youngsters could handle the furs and skeletons of prairie wildlife, including foxes, raccoons, coyotes, and skunks.

Volunteer Mark Herman, of Oregon, said the crowd started coming an hour before the 10 a.m. opening.

“They were here well before we opened,” he said with a grin.

Rose Avey, of Mt. Morris, was taking in the Native American lore offered by storyteller Brian “Fox” Ellis, of St. Charles.

“I come whenever I can. I enjoy seeing everything here and the kettle corn,” she said, holding up a bag. “It’s beautiful day.”

Members of the Rock River Painters Guild were set up on a hill, the perfect vantage point for painting the prairie in full fall dress.

“We had the buffalo right out there a little bit ago,” said Jan Harvey, of Dixon.

Cindy Winterfield, of Lost Lake, said she comes every year to paint.

“It’s just beautiful and I’m a nature lover,” she said.

Elsewhere, volunteers were leading hikes, and visitors could take self-guided tours through the prairie, see live

raptors, or try a bison burger at the food tent.

Kleiman said the efforts of the almost 90 volunteers and vendors made the day go smoothly.

“We’ve been doing this for almost 30 years,” he said.

Adding bison to the Grasslands in 2014 has increased attendance at Autumn on the Prairie since then he said.

The meal boxes, made possible in partnership with Northern Illinois Food Bank, contain a turkey,

Pine Creek News

By Karen Merlak It was a beautiful weekend full of bright sunshine.

As summer winds down, we hang on to every ounce of warm sunshine, each gentle breeze, and all of the wonderful memories. For all of His creation, we are truly thankful.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Lyle and Sheryl Hopkins.

Rev. Charlotte Hoppe led the children’s message for our returning friends, Kaitlyn, Laura, and Harper. We are all so grateful for their sweet family.

Charlotte finished our Faces of our Faith series with the story of Philemon. This series has been educational and enlightening.

potatoes, stuffing, gravy, canned fruit and vegetables, coffee and dessert – enough to feed a family of eight.

A $16 donation will allow Mt. Morris Loaves and Fish Food Pantry to provide a local family the opportunity to enjoy a traditional holiday meal with their loved ones this holiday season.

To sponsor one, two or more families, send a gift to Loaves and Fish Food Pantry, Att: Nelson

Miller, Treas., P.O. Box 202, Mt. Morris, IL 61054.

To allow time for ordering, send a gift by Friday, Oct. 12.

The pantry hopes to raise $2,400 above our regular donations to purchase 150 Thanksgiving boxes.

Any donations received above the amount needed to purchase Thanksgiving meal boxes will be used to purchase food for the pantry.

Mt. Morris Loaves and Fish

Food Pantry provides food to an average of more than 350 individuals each month.

It was just another reminder of how we have been blessed with Charlotte’s faithful leadership.

This past Tuesday evening, I attended the worship committee meeting for our church.

There were many thoughtful discussions about our worship service and how we can serve others. I am so glad to be a part of such a loving church family.

On Wednesday evening, Charlotte Hoppe and I had the honor of bringing dinner to the golf team.

We went to watch my nephew, Hayden Bittinger, play golf. Judy Nettz and her grandson, Carson Jones, came to watch and encourage our Marco golf team.

Deb and Phil Ohlwine have returned from a road trip adventure with friends from Polo.

The foursome traveled to Zion National Park in Utah and then to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

The long travel days were rewarded with beautiful sights along the way.

This past Friday morning, Charlotte and I met for an adventure in Galena. We had a nice visit on the drive up to the small town.

While there, we visited many of the shops that line the main street with a stop for lunch at a local restaurant.

After returning back to Polo, Charlotte and I put together the dinner for the football players and cheerleaders.

We owe a big thank you to the many cookie bakers in our congregation. After the game, we fed a group of very grateful players, cheerleaders, and coaches.

On Saturday afternoon, I went to visit with my brother, Ben, his wife, Jo, and their sons, Hayden and Garrett.

During our visit, I mentioned that I had tried to find someone to clean my gutters and downspouts.

I was pretty sure they were clogged which may have been causing my basement to flood.

This afternoon, Ben and Garrett came over to help with many

house projects including cleaning my gutters. Their help was so appreciated.

They turned an overwhelming job into a completed task on my to-do list.

While I am not afraid to take on a large project, I am very grateful for extra hands to do the work. I am grateful for all of the people in my life.

God has provided the ones who lend a helping hand, who celebrate large and small victories, and those who provide a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.

Jesus understood the importance of friendship. He is there with us each time we encourage one another, serve each other and when we lean on each other.

It is good to know He is with each of us in all things.

I hope to see you next week at our church in the country. Please come and join our family for worship and friendship.

Our family would like to get to know you and your family.

The pantry is a partner with Northern Illinois Food Bank which provides food to food pantries and feeding programs across 13 Illinois counties.

dry.  Some volunteers enjoy interacting with patients and some of our volunteers work at Angel Treasures.  “Some people are a little nervous about working with hospice,� Johnson said. “But after a volunteer trains and gets started, they never regret it.�

EDUCATION

T

his column is the second in a series that looks at general expectations for reading homework for different grade levels.

Last month we looked at supporting the earliest readers in preschool and kindergarten.

For this month, we’ll consider supporting first and second graders.

This will help us see the important role we play in supporting our children and grandchildren as they develop literacy skills.

Even though work on early literacy skills begins in preschool and kindergarten, first and second graders are still considered beginning readers.

As in any other skill we are learning, practice is essential.

For that reason, many teachers send home books that are appropriate for your child to read with only a little support from you.

Listening to your child or grandchild read those books to you provides extra practice.

The key for first and second graders is to practice reading a lot!

COMMENTARY Mary Gardner Reading Specialist Early reading books are filled with high frequency, or sight, words.

These are words that appear in a high percentage of all the texts we read, so being able to read them quickly makes the reading task easier.

First and second grade teachers may send home lists of sight words for your child to practice at home as well.

They can be made into flash cards or used in games like a memory game or bingo. Reading the books sent home helps build sight word knowledge, too.

Learning to read is hard work.

Reading the small books also helps young readers build confidence. It helps them stick with the task of learning to read.

Rereading easy, familiar texts

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

builds fluency, and fluency is closely linked to understanding what we read. Early readers do learn to “sound out” or decode words they do not know.

However, the more words one can read automatically without sounding them out, the more the reading flows, and that makes it easier to comprehend what is being read.

It is important to note that the pictures in these early reading books support beginning readers.

They help carry the meaning, and it is always important to emphasize that what we read should make sense.

We can support this by talking about the pictures as we go, or even before the book is read. Sometimes looking at the pictures will help us I t figure out a word as well. is not “cheating” to look at the pictures.

Sometimes it seems that a child has memorized a book and does not even look at the words.

We can gently remind them to look at the print – that’s what reading is after all. Beginning readers can be encouraged to use their finger to follow along with the words to help them focus on the words.

• GRASSLANDS Continued from Page 2 “We peaked that first year with 1,500,” he said.

Melody Foster, 9, of DeKalb, was on one of the late-afternoon tours where 25-30 bison walked right by the wagons, noisily munching on the

rich menu of prairie grasses.

“There was one that kept going in front,” she said. “It was like ‘wait who goes there.’ “ “Yeah, one looked like the daddy and was making grunting noises as he ate,” said a giggling Natasha Bianchi, 9, also of DeKalb.

The Grasslands offers visitors a

glimpse at what the pioneers saw when their covered wagons ventured into Ogle County 180 years ago.

The bison complete the picture grazing over 1,500 fenced acres, and enhance the ecosystem at the site.

Started more than three decades ago with less than 300 acres of partially over-grazed pastures, the

Grasslands has grown to 3,600 acres of native prairie plants and wildlife, restored largely through the efforts of volunteers.

The area is now the home of more than 700 native prairie plant species as well as many birds, insects, and reptiles, some of which are endangered.

Hawks take third at Salley Wessels Invitational Polo was seventh, Forreston tenth in 11-team event

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com It was a third-place finish for the Oregon golf team at the Sally Wessels Invitational on Saturday at Sunset Golf Course in Mt. Morris.

“We’re rounding into shape,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “We just need to put all the scores together.

Not everyone is the best on the same day. It’s sporadic.”

Adam Merrill carded an 83 to place sixth individually.

“Adam’s finally getting his game back,” Spratt said. “He was having problems keeping the ball in the fairway. It’s coming around.”

Backing him up was Jackson Buck who has been on a hot streak lately.

Buck had an 88, good for 12th and had a 37 at Silver Ridge the week before in winning medalist honors at a triangular.

“Jackson has a precision game going for him,” Spratt said.

Other Oregon scorers at the invitational were Jarrett Dietrich with a 94 and Case Sellers at 101.

Rockford Christian won the 11-team event with a 318, 34 strokes better than second-place West Chicago. The Royal Lions took the top three individual places, with Riley Hogan’s 73 earning medalist honors by a whopping five strokes.

“They will be the team to beat at conference next week,” Spratt said. “The only other teams with a chance are Rock Falls with good balance among its top six and Winnebago with the best golfer in Marcus Smith.”

Oregon edged Stillman Valley 366 to 367 for third. Byron was sixth at 383 among BNC schools.

Polo had a 396, good for seventh

and Scott Prerost (95) and Caleb Scott (98) were able to break 100.

Lane Hopkins added a 100 and Hayden Bittinger a 103 for balanced scoring from the top four.

“I was happy at Wessels. Our goal was to beat two teams and we beat four,” Polo coach Don Reece said.

Two days later, Reece was even happier, as he had four golfer score in the 40s for the first time. Hopkins, Bittinger, Logan Albrecht and Lucas Hammond did that against Stockton

on Monday.

Forreston was 10th at the invitational with 424.

“We were hoping to finish a little better,” Forreston coach Matt Hanley said.

Mavric Rudy had a 101, Lane Linquist 104, James DeWall 107 and Joel Ludwig 112 for the scoring.

Hanley hopes to have Mark DeWall back in time for either the conference or regional. DeWall is recovering from hernia surgery.

HAWK FOOTBALL

BY ROB LAIRD Special to SVM You didn’t quite have to squint during Oregon’s game Friday night to see the reasons why Byron is the top-ranked football team in Class 3A, but if you blinked at the wrong moments of the Hawks’ 48-0 loss, you just might have missed them.

During large swaths of the first half, Oregon was able stand toeto-toe with the mighty Tigers, and moved the ball with commendable success, racking up six first downs and twice driving into Byron territory. Had one been watching closely during those stretches, a reasonable person could have concluded that either Oregon was underrated, or Byron wasn’t quite the fear-inducing behemoth its ranking suggests.

But then there were other moments – and there were plenty of them – that reminded you, like a smack in the back of the head, exactly why Byron is so highly regarded.

For example, there was a 71-yard touchdown pass from Ben Carlson to Drake Snodgrass that put Byron ahead 14-0 late in the first quarter.

And there was a 39-yard TD run right up the gut by Snodgrass to put the Tigers ahead 21-0 early in the second.

Oh, and a 95-yard touchdown reception – again by Snodgrass – with 2 minutes left in the first half for a 35-0 lead.

“Their speed is top-notch,” Oregon coach Nick Schneiderman said.

“They hold their ground in pass protection. You think you’ve got things maybe bottled up, and all of a sudden, boom, there’s a little bit of a crease, and they hit the hole so fast.

It’s hard to mimic it [in practice].”

In the end, there were just far too many of those “boom” moments for Oregon to withstand, even with its modest ability to sustain offensive drives.

“We had opportunities to move the ball, but we stalled on our own,” Schneiderman said. “It was mostly self-inflicted, whether it be a botched snap, whether it be a penalty, whether it be a fumble. We did it to ourselves.”

The Hawks, who were still missing starting running back Jake Men-

nen to a knee injury suffered last week against Dixon, were led by Dalton Hermes’ 58 rushing yards.

Hermes, normally a fullback, had to learn a new position in the backfield this week in Mennen’s absence.

Zachary Crandall added 43 rushing yards on a team-high 15 carries as Oregon racked up 156 rushing yards in the game.

Snodgrass had a game-high 245 yards from scrimmage for Byron.

Oregon, which gave Dixon a run

for its money in Week 3, falls to 1-3, and its playoff hopes are suddenly in a bit of peril. Schneiderman knows that good efforts just aren’t going to be good enough as the team approaches the second half of the season.

“We’ve got to get better,” he said.

“We’ve got to win on first down. We can’t start our series on first-and-15 or second-and-10.”

It’s the first time Byron has shut out its rivals since 2003.

Oregon falls to Newman at Blackhawk Center

BY ERIC INGLES eingles@saukvalley.com For three sets, Oregon and Newman battled back and forth in a nonconference matchup at the Blackhawk Center on Tuesday.

After four ties in the first eight points of the third set, the Comets broke things open and came away with a 25-16, 17-25, 25-16 win over the Hawks.

After seeing Oregon control the second set, it was Newman in control for most of the third.

The third set was tied 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4 before Newman (9-3) reeled off the next four points thanks to a pair of kills from Bre Rosengren and a pair of Oregon hitting errors.

Oregon (7-4) got back to within two points at 9-7 and 10-8, but Newman again went on a run, scoring the next seven points.

Both teams looked for ways to contend with the big hitter on the other side of the net, and both saw mixed results throughout the night. Comets junior Aidan Brown had five kills in the first set alone, leading Newman to take the set.

Oregon senior Bailey Nelson took command of the second set, with two kills in the span of three points to put the Hawks up 11-3, and another kill later in the set.

Nelson finished her night with 10 kills.

“She’s super-aggressive,” Oregon coach Faith McNamee said. “She’s very tall and can jump high, so she hits high over the block and is super-hard to defend when she’s able to do that.”

Newman also had an eye on what Nelson was able to do at the net defensively. She had two blocks in the match. “[Nelson] is a great blocker, and it’s hard to get around her,” Newman’s Kiley Sanders said. “We realized we just had to place the ball and tip it if we needed to.”

After Brown’s big first set, Oregon looked to stop her in the second by using libero McKenna Sadler to dig up a lot of her spikes.

“When the ball was set for [Brown], she was hitting a lot crosscourt,” Oregon senior Abigail Hopkins said. “We adjusted our blocks.

We blocked more on the side because that’s where she was hitting.”

In the second set, the Hawks changed things up, adjusting both the blocking scheme and where they were attacking.

Oregon got off to a quick start in the second set with Jasmine Herbst starting things off with an ace. The Hawks scored the first five points of the set and before long led 11-3.

Three straight Oregon hitting errors cut that lead to five, but Oregon sophomore Jadyn Bothe Oregon’s Abigail Hopkins (6) spkes as Newman’s Macaire Brown (7) goes up to block during Tuesday action at the Blackhawk Center. Photo by Earleen Hinton snapped that run with a kill.

Marcos’ football up off the canvas...again L

ike a prize fighter down for the count, the Polo football team could have folded. Not once, not twice, but three times the Marcos have gotten up off the canvas.

The first time was when the announcement was made about going to 8-man football next year. It may have been easy to resign yourself to defeat, as the numbers at Polo were no longer there.

That wasn’t the case, as this year’s team took the opposite approach and decided to make the most out of the final year playing 11-man, even as shorthanded as they were.

The second time came in the first game against Orangeville when they fell behind by a couple scores and rebounded late in the contest to win.

This past Friday against Aquin, Polo was carrying the weight of past

COMMENTARY Andy Colbert failures against the Bulldogs. To compound matters, star all-purpose back, return man and linebacker Brady Webb was lost to injury.

For the third time, Polo got itself back on its feet and scored a thrilling comeback win over Aquin. It was a case of scrappy kids playing their hearts out.

Whoever needed to make a play on offense, those plays were made. On defense, coach Jeff Bumstead made the right calls to have players in the right positions.

There was an orchestration of

coaches and players coming together for a common good. That was the only way Polo was going to have a shot against Orangeville or Aquin.

In the first half against a Milledgeville team that is proving to be as good as expected, Polo held their own.

The Marcos are in excellent shape to close out the season as a playoff team, which has become the standard of achievement in Illinois high school football.

Aquin could be in jeopardy of missing the playoffs. The same with Stockton.

It is wide open between Orangeville, Stockton, Aquin and Polo in what is shaping up to be one of the evenly-matched Upstate division races ever.

The only given is that Milledgeville will likely finish undefeated.

Like Polo, Aquin has low numbers, with only five juniors and six seniors. Could they be the next NUIC school to play 8-man? Their sophomore quarterback would make a great QB in that format.

With Polo and River Ridge going to 8-man and Warren co-oping with a Wisconsin team next year, the conference needs to decide how the divisions will be realigned for football.

Nothing has been finalized, but the talk on the street is that a geographic breakdown is in the works.

Whether it is north-south or eastwest, who knows?

It will save lengthy trips, such as East Dubuque going four hours round trip to Amboy this week. But, how will small schools like Orangeville, Milledgeville and Aquin feel about facing the league heavyweights?

She married Jeffrey B. Mays on July 24, 1993 in Bloomington, and he survives.

Also surviving are her daughters, Emily Mays and Allison Mays, both at home; and her in-laws.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

In Jeff’s words, “Marcia is truly the embodiment of humility. She never wanted attention from anyone. She just wanted the best for everyone else. She opened our home to anyone who would come.”

Friends remarked that it was clear that her love for Jeff, Emily and Ali had no bounds.

That her faith in the Lord, her compas-

ance.

Those co-workers became lifelong friends who were with her to the end.

She was truly such a passionate person about each and every student and co-worker.

Marcia was married 25 years to Jeff and anyone who observed them knew they were each other’s person. They left such a legacy of love.

They embodied what it looks like to love in sickness and in health. All who observed their marriage were inspired on how to live a full life in the face of incredibly difficult circumstances.

The girls were the light of her life.

She did anything she could to help them grow into healthy, happy, compassionate women of faith, and she surely

accomplished that.

Even in the midst of all her health concerns she helped the girls not miss out on anything in life.

The girls have made many wonderful memories of Disney World, St. Louis, and Chicago as a family as well as simple memories of baking with mom or going to the splash pad.

She will be missed.

A Celebration of Life memorial service was held on Sept. 15 at 11 a.m. at Calvary Baptist Church, Normal.

Arrangements were completed by Carmody-Flynn Funeral Home, Bloomington.

Marcia and family had the most beautiful experience at Inheritance of Hope which helps families who are facing the loss of a parent.

In lieu of flowers, the family would love for any memorials to be made to Inheritance of Hope so they can gift other families with the same experience.

Mildred was a member of Forreston Reformed Church.

She enjoyed gardening, tending to her lawn, upholstering and renovating furniture.

sister, Vera Johnson, of Forreston; two nephews, Alan (Judi) Ranz, of Forreston, and Galen Russel, of Forreston; and many step-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband; son in infancy, Lyle E. Bennett; stepson, Brian Russman; step-daughter, Wanda Bramer; two brothers, Alvin Ludwig and Marvin Ludwig; and sister,

Velma Scheaffer.

sion, patience, her forgiveness and her ability to make you feel so loved were her greatest assets.

We use the word aMAYSing to describe Marcia, but it doesn’t even begin to describe her.

Even enduring an eight-year battle with metastatic breast cancer, she fought with strength and dignity amidst great suffering.

Marcia truly showed people how to live a life of purpose.

She worked at Morton High School for 25 plus years as a special education teacher.

Co-workers could not comment enough how much of a difference she made in her students’ lives.

She took so many co-workers under her wing to give them wisdom and guid-

Public Notice

This will affect your 2018 real estate taxes The following is a list of all property assessment changes made by the township assessor, and/or approved or revised by the supervisor of assessments.

Under the authority of 35 ILCS 200/9-210 (Illinois Compiled Statutes), notice is hereby given that the following equalization factors (or “multipliers”) have been applied to residential and commercial land and buildings, and farm homes and homesites, and other land and improvements: Brookville/Forreston 1.0000 Buffalo/Eagle Point/Woosung 1.0129 Byron 1.0000 Flagg 1.0000 Grand Detour/Pine Creek 1.0426 Lafayette/Pine Rock/Taylor 1.0360 Marion 1.0293 Mt. Morris 1.0000 Oregon-Nashua 1.0000 Rockvale 1.0387 Lynnville/Dement 1.0339 Leaf River 1.0454 Monroe 1.0376 Scott/White Rock 1.0434 Lincoln/Maryland 1.0457 All farm land assessments are increased pursuant to Illinois Department of Revenue’s 2018 farmland assessment certification, and approved by the Ogle County Farmland Assessment Review Committee.

Pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/12-10, individual notices will not be mailed on properties with assessment changes due to equalization alone. The factors shown are determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue’s most recent sales-to-assessment ratio study, and take into consideration any assessment changes made by the assessor. These factors bring the average assessment level in the townships to 33 1/3% of market value, and they will be applied to the categories of property listed above. Your township assessor is listed below.

If you believe your property is over-assessed, you may file an appeal within 30 days of this publication. The deadline to file an appeal of the 2018 assessment is October 22, 2018. See www.oglecounty.org/departments/supervisor-of-assessments/ for assessor contact information, assessment publications, appeal and exemption information.

Exemptions: exemptions reduce the taxable value of homestead property.

Exemptions are available for owner occupied, seniors, disabled and disabled veterans, returning veterans, and certain homestead improvements.

Assessor

If you have questions about your assessment, it is recommended that you contact your assessor for a review and explanation.

Ogle County Supervisor of Assessments 105 S. 5th St. PO Box 40 Oregon, IL 61061 815-732-1150

An assessment is not a tax bill. The assessment allocates the property tax burden based on the value of your real property, and the aggregate value of all property in the tax district. In general, the higher valued properties pay more taxes than the lower valued properties.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Astrograph Take on new adventures. Explore the possibilities that excite you. Make this a time of positive change, and strive for the happiness you want.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2018 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- A financial investment can be made if you do your due diligence. Don’t take someone else’s word; do your fact-checking and make choices based on intelligence, experience and logistics.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you push a little harder, you will get what you want.

If you wait for someone else to do the work for you, few rewards will come your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Share your concerns and ideas. Don’t argue with someone who won’t listen or take good advice.

Concentrate on those willing to work with you, not against you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t join in if someone pressures you to do something excessive. A cautious approach will spare you the trouble that will unfold if you are a follower instead of a leader.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is a good time to secure your position personally or professionally.

Look over your papers, finances and state of mind, and make adjustments that will ease your stress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t let anger or emotions lead to bad choices.

Gather the facts before you jump to conclusions and disrupt your position or reputation. Stability is your strength.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Put your energy into something worthwhile.

Don’t make a snap decision if you feel uncertain or a risk is involved. Focus on what’s doable. Moderation is in your best interest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Plant seeds, but don’t oversell your idea.

Being straightforward and only promising what you can manage are all that’s required. Honesty and integrity will help you avoid criticism and loss.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You’ll need to make an adjustment if you want to avoid a loss. Go over your financial papers to find a way to cut corners. A partnership needs to be reassessed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your desire to help others is a good thing, as long as you don’t neglect your needs. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you. Learn from experience. A strategic move will pay off.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make plans with someone you love, or host an event at your place. Mixing business with pleasure will lead to new opportunities and better relationships with your peers.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Emotions will mount when dealing with sensitive issues.

Don’t say something that will lead to an unwanted change.

Listen to others and mull over a situation carefully before you respond. ©2018 UFS
