DIVINE SECRETS OF THE

YAK YAK SISTERHOOD

Facebook group treats Girl Scout troop to bonding experience

ROCK FALLS – Karen Miles just has a knack for people. She’s friendly, outgoing, fun, and in possession of a fabulously charming New Jersey accent. What’s not to like?

By day, she coaches P.E. in Prophetstown. By night, she more than

100 of her closest friends make up the rapidly growing Facebook group called the Yak Yak Sisters.

What are the Yak Yak Sisters? So glad you asked.

Karen doesn’t actually know all of the people who are fans of the Facebook page she runs – not even half, actually – but they do all have one thing in common: a love of the outdoors, and kayaking.

Every Wednesday at 6 p.m., a group of “sisters” and a few “brothers” meet at the Hennepin Canal boat launch off state Route 40 in Rock Falls, just south of the Candlelight Inn. They drop their kayaks in the water – scum, bugs, and plants be damned – and head out together for about 2 hours of laughing, chatting, and paddling.

STERLING – After missing approval on last year’s financing application by the slimmest of margins, Sterling Today has reapplied for funding of its planned redevelopment project at the Lawrence Building.

The county owns the entire building at 101 E. Third St., but the courthouse is the only occupant.

The plan would keep the courthouse on the main floor, while the four floors in the tower, which have been vacant for many years, would become a 20-unit low-income apartment complex.

Sterling Today expects to receive word on the Lawrence Building financing in late October or early November.

The low-income element opens the door to federal tax credits that could stimulate private investment in the project.

CONTINUED FROM A1

They’ve never actually had all 125 members of their Facebook sisterhood on the water at once. In fact, the most they’ve ever had happened this spring, when about 30 people showed up with their kayaks, including a troop of Boy Scouts with canoes, for a “blessing of the vessels” performed with holy water and everything, by a pink-kayaked pastor who’s part of the sisterhood.

On Wednesday, a group of sisters plus a few brothers showed up a little earlier than usual.

Brownies (and one Daisy) from Tampico Girl Scout Troop 253 needed to learn how to kayak so they could get a kayaking badge, you see.

Seven Scouts in all – six

Carol Kuhnau of the Yak Yak Sisters follows Chloe Zais, 6, of Troop 253. third-graders and one first-grader – took to ’yaking like ducks take to water, and as far as this reporter is aware, no one fell in. After exiting, there were more than a few exclamations about wet pants bottoms, but that’s a risk serious ’yakers must take.

The idea for the group arose from a conversation that Karen, 55, had

IN BRIEF THINGS ARE COMING UP ROSES AT DIXON ANIMAL SHELTER

Traffic cameras: Good or bad?

LAKEMOOR (AP) – Cameras monitoring motorists at red lights in 3 dozen suburban Chicago communities have generated fines that have increased $3 million from 2012 to 2014 – but in one village, accidents at the camera’s intersections doubled.

The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports the most lucrative camera is at U.S. Route 12 and state Route 120 in Lakemoor.

The village hopes to produce $1.8 million in fines from that intersection alone – more than one-third of the municipality’s total income this year.

But state Transportation Department figures show crashes at the crossroads jumped from 18 in 2012 – the year the cameras were installed – to 35 a year later.

Most are rear-end crashes.

Village President Todd Weihofen says the cameras make the intersection safer.

Crews work on the foundation of Granny Rose Animal Shelter’s new K-9 Enrichment Center on Thursday behind the shelter in Dixon. Granny Rose is funding the project in part through a matching donation of up to $100,000. That means the shelter also must raise $100,000 as soon as possible to get the full $200,000.

The rest of the money is coming from savings, and from a loan, which must be paid off with money raised through ongoing donations and shelter fees. Donations can be sent to 613 River Lane, Dixon, IL 61021.

Find the shelter on Facebook or call 815-288-7387 for more information.

Law will change student privacy

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – A new law inspired by an Illinois student’s suicide will allow universities to share information about a student’s mental health with his or her parents.

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed the measure into law on Wednesday.

Currently, college officials can’t talk to a student’s parents about his or her mental health issues.

Under the law that will take effect next year, students can give their university the authority to share the information.

Copter crash puts man in hospital

ATKINSON. (AP) — A helicopter pilot was taken to a Peoria hospital in critical condition after his aircraft crashed into a soybean field in western Illinois.

Atkinson Fire Department Chief Bob Floming says the helicopter’s tail rotor hit a power line and spun out on Wednesday near Atkinson.

Illinois man jailed for turtle crime

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge in New Orleans has sentenced an Illinois man to more than 3 years in prison for attempting to buy threatened turtles captured in violation of state law.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 35-year-old Keith Cantore of Monee was sentenced Wednesday and was ordered to pay $41,000 in restitution.

AMBOY

Doctor is a Kurt-of-all-trades Crowe enjoys playing a big role in a small town

Dr. Kurt Crowe watches medical student Lindsay Meurer examine Joyce Child.

BY KAYLA HEIMERMAN Special to Sauk Valley Media

AMBOY – It could be easy to feel a bit unappreciated working in the hinterlands of rural Illinois.

That’s not a feeling Dr. Kurt Crowe is burdened by, though.

Quite the opposite.

The 48-year-old GP treats all members of the family, from the cradle to the grave, out of his Amboy office – babies, who need routine immunizations; children with cuts, scrapes, and broken bones; adults, who come in for annual screenings; senior citizens with diabetes, high blood pressure, or other chronic illnesses.

“The people are very downto-earth, and they seem as though they appreciate having someone [a doctor] close by … someone who is available when they need them,” Crowe said.

“I’m taking care of families. I might be taking care of one person, but everyone in the room with them is a patient, too.”

And the locals aren’t the only one who appreciate his care: Crowe was named a 2014

MILITARY

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

Rural Physician of Excellence by the Illinois Rural Health Association.

He said at the ceremony he was “humbled and honored” to receive the award, but added that the credit should not go solely to him.

“Everyone who works for me and with me … they are just as big a part of the team as I am.

They all play very important roles, and I couldn’t do what I do without them.”

Crowe, who lives in Dixon with his wife, Ruth, and their 6 children, grew up in rural northeastern Wisconsin, knew firsthand the importance of so-called country doctors, who could serve entire families, from acute illnesses to chronic diseases.

“If you can only have one doctor, then a family doctor is the jack-of-all-trades, who can handle most things,” he said. “I wanted to fill that need in small towns.”

Crowe received his undergraduate degree in biology from Northern Illinois University. He then studied at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Rockford, which houses the Rural Medical Education (RMED) program; he completed his family medicine residency there, too.

“I did all of my training in an urban area, with a lot of volume and variety. By the time I got [into regular practice], I had been able to see and do a lot of procedures.

“It trained me well for work-

ing in a small area with a wide variety but not always the volume … although rural areas are so underserved, that one doctor easily can become overwhelmed.”

Crowe practiced in Princeton for 6½ years, then joined Dixon-based KSB Medical Group in 2006; he practices primarily in Amboy, although he sees patients in Ashton, too.

“The workload [is very challenging],” he said. “Because it’s an underserved area … you tend to get pretty busy after a while. It means a lot of time away from home, a lot of trips to the hospital.

“It’s a challenge, but I am doing what I enjoy doing.”

Crowe was among the first graduates of the RMED program in 1997. He since has served on its Recruitment and Retention Committee for 15 years, and now is a faculty member in the Department of Family and Community Medicine.

Now, every year, Crowe takes a student from the program into his practice for a 16-week apprenticeship.

“I feel like [the program] provided me with lots of opportunities and excellent training to do what I do … and I feel that it is important to continue that tradition for future generations of rural doctors.”

OBITUARIES FUNERAL SERVICES FOR THE WEEK

Robert J. Schaefer HOMOSASSA, Fla. – Robert J. Schaefer, 79, of Homosassa, passed away Friday, June 26, 2015, at Hospice House after a long illness.

Bob was born the son of Archie and Gertrude (Wacker) Schaefer in Sabula, Iowa. He attended Savanna High School, and Southern Illinois University, where he studied journalism. He married Nancy Grimes on March 16, 1958, in Rock Falls.

Bob raised his family in Fulton, and worked at the Clinton Herald for 26 years. After his retirement, he and Nancy fulfilled their lifelong dream and retired to Florida. When Bob was younger he enjoyed spending time with his family, building and racing stock cars, and loved to craft wooden games, toys, cars, and home decorations. Bob belonged to the Christian church in Homosassa, and held various offices at the Moose Lodge.

Bob will be dearly missed by his wife, Nancy; two daughters, Vicki (Jim) Sowle of Camanche, Iowa, and Lori (Curt) Temple of Fulton; 10 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; his sister, Bernita (Gary) Savage of Clinton, Iowa; and one brother, Archie Schaefer of Morrison. Bob also had numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Velma Brantner; and his mother-in-law, Margaret Grimes.

Per his wishes, Bob was cremated and his remains will be scat-

tered at a later date in the Gulf of Mexico.

Bob’s family would like to invite you to attend a celebration of his life from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the home of his daughter, Vicki (Jim) Sowle, 1828 12th St., Camanche, Iowa. A lunch will be served, and there will be a time of sharing happy memories from family and friends.

“As We Look Back,” by Clare Jones As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ...

Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us?

For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ...

To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats?

Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgment, Courage and integrity?

We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made.

To let us have the very best?

And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?

If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now.

And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.

Sterling Today is partnering with the Rock Island Economic Growth Corp., a nonprofit agency that excels in bringing investment dollars for downtown revitalization projects. The estimated cost of the apartment complex is $5 million.

Six layers of financing were put together in last year’s submission. The applications are judged on a point system, and it

missed approval by a single point. The new application was recently submitted.

“The deadline was pushed back a bit from March, so our application was just turned in a couple of weeks ago,” City Manager Scott Shumard said.

Competition for tax credits, a key component of the application, is fierce, but city officials are hopeful after last year’s near miss.

“We’re optimistic because some elements have been added to bring more points,” Shumard

‘‘

said. “We’re much more confident about our chances this year.”

One of the new elements is a plan to use a few of the apartments for veterans. The units will be fully equipped to accommodate vets with disabilities.

More letters of support from the community have also been included with the application.

Sterling Today said progress is being made on the property it owns at 117 W. Third St., the former site of Knie Appliance & TV.

“The architects just did detailed measurements, and we’re crunching numbers for subdividing the space for development,” said Janna Groharing, director of Sterling Main Street..

Groharing recently assumed a management role with Sterling Today.

She retains her role with Main Street, and her services are contracted on a part-time basis with the nonprofit development group. A part-time assistant has been added at the Main Street office to help

with the extra work.

Groharing said the county had extended its option for another year with Sterling Today for the upper floor of the Lawrence building. The agreement runs from Jan. 15, 2016, to Jan. 31, 2017.

The organization believes it would be costefficient if both projects were on a similar timeline.

“The same players are involved in both projects,” Groharing said, “so ideally, we’d like to do them at the same time, and with the same contractor.”

CHICAGO

Sex change will be part of benefits CHICAGO (AP) – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced plans on Wednesday to allow sex reassignment surgery for the city’s employees as part of their health benefits package.

“Chicago is known for being a city that is welcoming to all and inclusive of every resident, and this new policy is in line with our efforts to support the rights and well-being of transgender individuals,” Emanuel said in a statement. “With this change, Chicago will ensure that transgender city employees are able to receive the medical care that they need.”

The change first will be implemented for nonunion employees. The city said it is working with labor representatives to remove an exclusion of sex-change treatment for union members.

The mayor’s office said the change is expected to be approved by the city’s Benefits Committee on Tuesday and would go into effect Oct. 1.

The company has similar facilities in three other states. “Each farm is designed to conserve land, water, eliminate agricultural runoff and reduce greenhouse gas emission from transportation,” its website says.

“The food supply chain in the country today I don’t think is great,” Lightfoot said. “We are looking for a shorter supply chain that will create healthy food that is better for the environment.”

The company “wanted to come to the Chicagoland area because we wanted to partner with Mariano’s,” Lightfoot said. “Rochelle made it easy for us to decide to come here, because this site was ready to go.

Roads, sewer and power all run to this site, and it’s build-ready, which isn’t often the case.”

Lightfoot, 45, said he would like to keep some of the produce in the Rochelle area as well.

“We would love to partner with someone local,” he added. “Whether it’s a nonprofit or with schools, we love to get some of this produce in the local community.”

“We’re honored BrightFarms chose to put down roots in Rochelle, and we are excited for the completion of the greenhouse,” Rochelle Mayor Chet Olson said.

The company also has greenhouses in Bucks County, Pennsylvania; Kansas City, Missouri; and Elkwood, Virginia.

Trump grabs spotlight at debate With bluster, bravado and bluntness, billionaire won’t rule out third-party run CLEVELAND (AP) – Setting a combative tone from the start, billionaire businessman Donald Trump took the spotlight in the first Republican presidential debate, declaring he would not commit to supporting the party’s eventual nominee and would not rule out running as a third-party candidate.

“I will not make the pledge at this time,” Trump said. He also refused to apologize for making insulting comments about women, saying, “The big problem this country has is being politically correct.”

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul immediately jumped in to challenge Trump on his refusal to commit to supporting the party nominee.

“He’s already hedging his bets because he’s used to buying politicians,” Paul said.

Trump’s blunt style was in line with the approach he’s taken to his campaign throughout the summer, appealing to voters frustrated with career politicians and perplexing his rivals. He entered the first debate leading the polls in a field filled with governors and senators.

Most of the candidates on stage avoided engaging directly with Trump in the debate’s early moments.

ROCK ISLAND

THEATER ATTACK

NAACP wants federal investigation into fatal police shooting ROCK ISLAND (AP) – The NAACP is calling for a federal investigation after the Rock Island County prosecutors ruled that a Rock Island police officer was justified in the fatal shooting of an armed AfricanAmerican man.

On Wednesday, Rock Island County State’s Attorney John McGehee issued a written report, clearing Officer Ryan DeRudder of criminal charges in the death of 32-year-old Darrin Langford on April 2.

Before the confrontation with police, Langford was seen firing his weapon into the air, according to witnesses.

A foot chase began when Langford saw police had arrived on the scene. Langford was ordered to drop his gun but refused to do so.

DeRudder shot at Langford when he started to pivot during the chase, because DeRudder feared for his safety, the report determined.

“With shots being fired, Darrin Langford endangered human life,” McGehee said. “ ... Ryan DeRudder ... acted justifiably in discharging his weapon to protect himself and others.”

Langford was shot three times. He was hit

¢ ¢ 6560 WING WINGTUESDAY TUESDAY

in the right side of the back, the right hip and left buttock.

In a new release, the NAACP of Rock Island County expressed “grave concern” about McGehee’s ruling and announced plans to ask the U.S. Department of Justice to launch an investigation.

“We’re not saying that somebody intentionally distorted the report or the outcome,” said Berlinda Tyler-Jamison, president of the local NAACP chapter. “We’re saying there needs to be a body that’s further removed from this investigation.”

The shooting highlights the need for police to wear body cameras, and that many questions would have been answered if the officer was wearing one, Tyler-Jamison said.

The Langford family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Rock Island, DeRudder and an unidentified officer. On Tuesday, DeRudder and the city filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit.

DeRudder was placed on restrictive duty status pending the investigation, and he will soon return to active duty status.

Chaos, terror and darkness Authorities piece together a puzzle of paranoia NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The transient glared at patrons in the dark movie theater, the dyed red tips of his hair faded to a dull orange.

Suddenly, he jumped up and attacked two women with a cloud of pepper spray that dyed their clothes the color of blood. Vincente Montano, 29, who authorities said had long struggled with paranoid schizophrenia, set off a scene of terror in the Tennessee theater: He wielded a hatchet and a fake gun.

He fiddled with a pretend bomb. He cracked open a canister of propane, releasing gas that police think might have been intended as a bomb, and he clouded the air with chemicals.

But when he fired at

officers, he shot pellets. When he brought down his hatchet on a man’s Vincent shoulder, Montano he barely nicked him.

He did those things at a movie that’s been out for 3 months, with seven other patrons there to see “Mad Max: Fury Road” at lunchtime on a Wednesday.

Only Montano ended up dead.

“He seemed to be reenacting other shootings, very imperfectly,” said Dr. Marvin Swartz, a professor of psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine, who has studied the intersection of mental illness and

violence. “The question is, if he was trying to reenact those other incidents, does the fact that he didn’t get there mean that he didn’t mean to, or that he wasn’t organized enough?”

The delusions of people with severe mental illness are often informed by the culture around them, Swartz said. Montano undoubtedly saw wall-to-wall media coverage of last month’s shooting at a Louisiana cinema and the ongoing trial in the 2012 Colorado theater massacre.

Police may never figure out what led the man who had been committed to mental hospitals several times to enter theater No. 4 at the Carmike 8 outside of Nashville.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Remap reform group off to a promising start What we think The Independent Map Amendment Coalition reports encouraging progress in its campaign to reform Illinois’ redistricting process. We encourage residents to volunteer to help.

I

n May, the Independent Map Amendment Coalition announced its petition drive to establish a nonpartisan independent redistricting commission in Illinois.

To say that the effort has gotten off to a fast start is something of an understatement.

Last week, only 3 months after launch, the group announced it had collected more than 210,000 signatures toward its goal of 600,000 signatures, which is twice the number required by law to have a constitutional amendment placed on the ballot.

And that number is a substantial increase from the 95,000 signatures reported just July 20.

The news follows the group’s hiring of veteran reform advocate Cindi Canary in June to lead the coalition’s campaign.

And a week after Canary’s arrival, the U.S. Supreme Court, ruling in Arizona State Legislature vs. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, upheld the constitutionality of independent redistricting commissions of the type that the Independent Map Amendment would create in Illinois.

The cards seem to be falling in favor of the petition drive – the third attempt since 2010 – to take legislative redistricting out of the hands of politicians and place it under the control of an independent commission charged with drawing maps without regard to incumbency or partisanship.

That’s what Illinois desperately needs – legislative districts that aren’t drawn to protect incumbents or parties, but are created to foster electoral competition and legislators’ accountability to the voters.

What happens when lawmakers aren’t accountable?

Well, we’re in the 38th day of having no state budget for fiscal year 2015-16.

That’s what happens.

Last November, 82 of our state representatives and senators had no opponents on the ballot, because their districts were considered so “safe” that no opponents bothered to mount fruitless campaigns against them.

Such lack of accountability not only is an affront to democracy. It aids and abets dysfunctional government of the variety we now see in Springfield.

HOW CAN THE average person help the Independent Map Amendment Coalition?

Visit its website, www.MapAmendment. org, for petitions that can be downloaded and other information about how to circulate, notarize, and submit them.

Contact the group by email at info@MapAmendment.org.

Write a letter to: Independent Maps, 71 S. Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606 Or call the office at 773-453-6271.

Majority Democrats drew the 2011 district boundaries to their advantage – the same thing Republicans did in 1991 when they totally controlled the process.

Clearly, it’s time to take the power to draw district lines away from politicians.

Fast starts don’t guarantee success. Independent Maps still has about 400,000 signatures to collect before the deadline in early May 2016.

If you want democracy and government to work better in Illinois, please volunteer to give Independent Maps a hand.

They swear, but do they perform?

Oath to uphold constitution means nothing to some pols “I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Illinois …”

So begins the oath that all Illinois lawmakers take on their first day in office.

Inauguration Day is a day of grandeur.

Proud spouses, children, grandchildren and others fill the Capitol to hear those words.

I often have wondered whether the meaning of the words resonates in the minds of those reciting the oath.

To support the Constitution …

I first covered the General Assembly in 1988.

Since then, I have seen many bills approved by lawmakers that didn’t adhere to either the state or federal constitution.

Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of this political transgression.

But unconstitutional bills pass nonetheless.

The reason?

While they may swear

to uphold the constitution, lawmakers often have a greater fidelity to covering their political behinds.

For an example, look no further than the latest predicament Illinois’ legislative leaders have put the state in.

A provision of the state constitution prohibits changing a lawmaker’s pay during his or her term in office.

EARLIER THIS YEAR, Republican lawmakers introduced bills to reject the scheduled pay hike that was to go into effect this summer.

They rightly contend that when the state is broke and without a budget for the fiscal year, it’s pretty dumb for lawmakers to accept a raise.

But those bills were never called for a vote by House Speaker Michael Madigan or Senate President John Cullerton.

Then, Gov. Bruce

Rauner started making political hay about the lawmakers giving themselves a raise while the state was in financial crisis.

Press release after press release streamed out of the governor’s office whacking legislators.

Suddenly, Madigan folded faster than a cheap lawn chair. He introduced his own measure rejecting the pay raise.

The only problem is, by the time Madigan put it up for a vote, it became clear the lawmakers would receive at least one paycheck that included the 2 percent cost-of-living increase before the law rejecting it could go into effect.

That, of course, raises the question of whether the measure is constitutional.

The concern was no secret. Members of the House wondered aloud during debate on the bill.

Still, that didn’t keep them from voting 101-1 to pass the bill and reject the pay hike.

Because, after all, nobody wants to wear that political albatross.

Cullerton told the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board last week he would call the measure for a

vote this week.

“Oh, it’s blatantly unconstitutional,” Cullerton said. “But nobody’s going to sue; I don’t think anyone’s going to sue.”

REJECTING THE PAY hike is, of course, the right thing to do.

But the whole issue of constitutionality could have been avoided by bringing the matter up for a vote earlier this year – before the governor shamed the two leaders into action.

But now they are acting – not out of a desire to uphold the constitution, but to cover their political backsides.

They didn’t take an oath to do that when they took office – that’s how they got into office.

BY ANDREA MILLS amills@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5575

PEORIA – Down by the riverside is where the action is, and Peoria RiverFront’s choices can fill a day’s adventure.

Among the sights to see is the Caterpillar Visitors Center at 110 S.W. Washington St. Visitors can take a virtual ride in a CAT 797 mining truck, or design their own CAT. A machine simulator lets them find out what it’s like to operate one. General admission is $7, $6 for people 55 and older, veterans and active military personnel, and free for children 12 and younger. The hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

At Spring Street and Adams Street, walkers will find Constitution Gardens, which commemorates the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution.

Other stops include Liberty Park, located between Liberty and Harrison streets, off Southwest Water Street (check out the gazebo), and the Military Services Memorial Plaza, which is dedicated to veterans. The plaza is north of Festival Park at the foot of Main Street.

Those who stop at Peoria RiverFront Market from 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays through September will find local arts and music by area musicians. The market is at 212 S.W. Water St. Peoria Riverfront Museum, 222 S.W. Washington St., has an

Admission is $11 for adults, $10 for people 60 and older, and $9 for those 3 to 17.

The museum is open from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Before leaving, take a look at the car, the Duryea Motor Trap, built in 1898 in Peoria Heights.

To see the boats, plan to look over the RiverFront marina at the foot of Main Street.

Then, put on walking shoes or hiking boots and leave the city pavement behind. Visitors interested in activities a little more

on the “wild” side can check out Forest Park Nature Center in Peoria Heights. Seven miles of hiking trails take walkers through prairie scenes and woodlands.

Some of the trails are wheelchairaccessible.

The paths’ difficulty levels range from easy to medium and on to hard. For example, Prairie Path and Valley Trail are rated easy; the Bee Tree Trail, Possum Path and Wilderness Trail are medium; but the Primiteoui Trail and Wake Robin Trail turn difficult. Deer Run Trail runs the gamut – it has all three difficulty levels in its segments.

The 540-acre nature center and preserve sits amid the Illinois River bluffs. Travelers will find a natural history museum with a bird observation room and the Trailhead Nature Store ready to supply books and nature-related items. Shoppers can choose from Fair Trade merchandise, handcrafted, recycled and organic gifts, birdseed, bird feeders, birdhouses, bug viewers, and even environmentally friendly cleaning products.

If you’re outfitted with a pair of comfortable shoes, summer is a good time to see Peoria’s treasures on foot.

ENTERTAINMENT Steve Jobs opera coming to stage As a composer who makes his home in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mason Bates has ample opportunity to observe the technology community on a daily basis.

“They are very creative people,” the composer, 38, said. “I thought there could be a way to write something about a creative technologist who would be the focus of a story. And Steve Jobs touches on the creative, technological and human side of things.”

The complicated personal and professional lives of the late Apple cofounder will be the subject of Bates’ new opera, “The ®evolution of Steve Jobs,” which will have its world premiere in 2017 at Santa Fe Opera in New Mexico, the company announced Wednesday.

The Jobs opera is believed to be the first attempt to set the man’s life to music.

“Jobs’ story was attractive because it has a lot of possibilities for new sounds in an opera house,” Bates said.

The opera will offer a

address issues of abandonment for Jobs, who was put up for adoption by his birth parents. He said the opera isn’t based on a book or other preexisting material, and it was researched using public information.

No dates or casting for “The ®evolution of

nonlinear exploration of Jobs’ life, with an emphasis on his relationships with his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, as well as his father, Paul. It also will delve into the touchy area of Jobs’ first daughter, whom he initially disavowed.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) – The seizures caused Nick Pauly to laugh mirthlessly, clap his hands and shout.

At times, he would swear loudly.

The seizures would come on without warning, caused by a tumorlike lesion that interfered with his hypothalamus – a crucial brain structure involved in sleep, learning and cognition.

Medication could not control the seizures, and for the vast majority of his 30 years, there was no safe way to treat the lesion embedded in his brain.

But last year, surgeons at Froedtert Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin used new technology to deliver laser light directly into the lesion, destroying the problematic tissue without damaging the area around it.

After two surgeries and remarkably short hospital stays, Pauly’s most severe seizures have stopped.

Now, he is adjusting to life without the seizures, though he still struggles with the effects of having lived with the lesion for 3 decades.

Pauly’s seizures led him to Wade Mueller and Sean Lew, neurosurgeons at Froedtert and Children’s Hospital, respectively. In 2013, they had performed the hospitals’ first surgery using new technology, called Visualase.

The Visualase system combines a brain-scanning MRI with minimally invasive laser surgery. Surgeons insert a fiber, less than a tenth of an inch across, through a small hole in the skull, then through the upper layers of brain tissue and finally into the lesion, near the base of the brain. Infrared laser light travels down an optical fiber, where it is absorbed by the lesion and converted to heat.

When the surrounding tissue gets hot enough, 140 degrees or so, it is destroyed.

An MRI helps target the laser applicator, but just as important, it also monitors the temperature of the brain tissue. That allows surgeons to protect healthy tissue while delivering enough laser energy to damage the lesion.

In all, the new technology adds $15,000 to each surgery, but it is covered by most insurance. Shorter hospital stays and better outcomes might make it cheaper than other surgeries in the long run.

Parents, do your job, and let lifeguards do theirs Dear Abby, My daughter is a lifeguard at a local pool.

Caregivers, please take note: While she’s disciplining your child for dunking another, she cannot watch other children who might be struggling to catch a breath. You cannot possibly watch all the children you brought with you while you’re busy on your cellphone.

Yes, lifeguards save lives. But if the lifeguard has to be a disciplinarian and a baby sitter as well as do her own job, she might not see the baby who fell into the pool while you were flirting with the sexy guy sitting near you. Having a

dearABBY Abigail Van Buren’s (Jeanne Phillips) column appears during the week through Universal Press Syndicate.

lifeguard present does not excuse parents from taking care of their children. Do YOUR job and prevent a tragedy from happening.

– Vigilant in New Jersey Dear Vigilant, Thank you for reminding parents how impor-

tant it is to watch their children at ALL times when they’re near water.

Too often we hear about the drowning death of a child because someone was distracted “for just a few moments.” I hope my readers will take to heart your important message.

Dear Abby, I am a 50-year-old gay man, out of the closet for 10 years. Throughout my life, I have had to deal with low selfesteem and other issues.

When I came out, my life changed dramatically for the better. However, I have never been in any kind of relationship. I never had a girlfriend

when I was trying to pass for straight, nor have I ever had a boyfriend.

Outside of immediate family, no one has ever said “I love you” to me.

I’m the type of person who is instantly “friendzoned.”

As I get older, I’m feeling lonelier and lonelier.

Friends tell me I’m better off, because lovers just break your heart. I’m willing to risk that for the opportunity to tell someone I love them and hear it in return, but at this point, I have no idea where to begin.

I have tried dating, but nothing has ever progressed beyond a first date. I don’t know if there’s something about

Dear Alone, I doubt there is anything wrong with your personality. That you have never been in a relationship may have left you a little rough around the edges when it comes to romance.

I’m a firm believer that the more exposure someone has, the better the chances of finding what you’re looking for. If you aren’t active with a gay and lesbian community center, go online to lgbtcenters.org and research some in your area. You

have to be “out there” for Prince Charming to find you. Join talk groups, fundraising groups, sports activities, and look into online dating. While you shouldn’t go around with “Needy” tattooed on your forehead, let your friends – gay and straight – know you’d like to meet someone nice. Who knows? Maybe someone will have a brother – or an uncle.

Writer/executive producer Bob Kushell straightens Miss Piggy’s hair Tuesday during “The Muppets” panel at the Disney/ABC Summer TCA Tour in Beverly Hills, California.

Kermit’s coming back It’s time to play the music; it’s time to light the lights; it’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet show – again ROB OWEN Tribune News Service

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — In a fall TV season characterized by remakes, reboots and other forms of regurgitation, ABC’s “The Muppets” looks to be one of the better viewing options among a familiar, mostly disappointing lot.

Yes, you can also charge ABC with pop culture rehash, but at least “The Muppets” is an ever-evolving franchise, not an opportunistic attempt to wring one more dime out of a flash in the pan (yes, that means you, “Heroes Reborn” on NBC).

Because, really, who doesn’t love the Muppets?

Credit “Muppets” co-writers Bill Prady (co-creator of “The Big Bang Theory”) and Bob Kushell (“Samantha Who?”) with finding a new way to invigorate a franchise that’s had a difficult time evolving in the years since creator Jim Henson’s death in 1990.

There was already one failed attempt to revive the 1970s “Muppet Show” in the shortlived “Muppets Tonight” (199698). While 2011’s “The Muppets” was a hit, the 2014 sequel, “Muppets Most Wanted,” disappointed at the box office.

The new ABC comedy is set behind the scenes of a latenight Miss Piggy-hosted talk show. The program

also features mockumentarystyle interviews with cast members (a la “The Office”) – essentially making the entire gang reality TV show stars – and it goes home with the characters.

(In a pilot presentation available for viewing with the online version of this story, Fozzie meets his human girlfriend’s parents, who express concern about their cross-species relationship.)

Producers said they chose to reset some of the relationships to give the show somewhere to build to. At an ABC press conference Tuesday morning, Kermit announced he and Piggy have split and he has a new pig girlfriend, which is sure to provide fodder for future plots on the series.

“Piggy and I have gone our separate ways romantically,” Kermit said, seated behind a cloth-draped table and occasionally sipping from a coffee cup. “People change. So do frogs and pigs.”

The series will include snippets from “Up Late With Miss Piggy” a la

“The Larry Sanders Show.”

Guests booked include Reese Witherspoon and the band Imagine Dragons.

“The goal here is to be exactly the same and completely different,” said Prady, who worked on Henson projects early in his career, including writing for the animated “Fraggle Rock” and the Disney Studios theme park attraction “MuppetVision 3-D.” “What we are trying to do is very much honor more rigorously than has been done to stay with ‘The Muppet Show’ thing, but at the same time do something that is contemporary and works on television now. It’s sort of an origin story that started in the past.”

Kushell said the series is designed to appeal to newcomers to the Muppets and lifelong fans.

“Anybody who hasn’t seen the Muppets in the past will see a whole new world that has a feel that’s original and new,” Kushell said, “and anybody who’s grown up with it will have that nostalgic feel and have their minds blown by the new way we’re doing the show.”

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

—James 5:16

here is something cathartic about confessing our sins. The very act of telling others about our misdeeds and shortcomings seems to relieve much of the guilt, and we usually get the added benefit of realizing that we aren’t alone in our shortcomings. There is a tendency to think we are the only ones who have this particular weakness, until we start talking about it and realize that a lot of our moral failings are nearly universal.

Who has never lied or taken something which did not belong to them? In the Epistle of James we are told explicitly to confess our sins to each other, and this comes in the context of some general advice about prayer and our duties to one another. James assures us that the prayer of the faithful is powerful and says that we should pray together for the sick and confess our sins to each other. Just as good medicine heals the body, a good confession heals the soul.

ON THE ROAD | HACK ATTACKS

IN BRIEFS

Four doors and a back door

Company will grow with fertilizer deal NEW YORK (AP) – CF Industries Holdings Inc. will acquire the distribution networks of Netherlands-based OCI N.V. in a $6 billion deal that would create one of the world’s largest nitrogen fertilizer companies.

The deal, which includes about $2 billion in debt, is expected to increase CF’s effective nitrogen capacity per share by 18 percent.

CF would get OCI’s nitrogen operations in the Netherlands and Iowa, and a complex in Beaumont, Texas.

The deal also includes OCI’s distribution system in Dubai. CF Industries Holdings Inc., is based in Deerfield, will become a subsidiary of a new holding company based in the United Kingdom.

Hackers sneak into vehicles, and companies struggle to keep them out DETROIT (AP) – When researchers at two West Coast universities took control of a General Motors car through cellular and Bluetooth connections in 2010, they startled the auto industry by exposing a glaring security gap.

Five years later, two friendly hackers sitting on a living room couch used a laptop computer to commandeer a Jeep from afar over the Internet, demonstrating an even scarier vulnerability.

“Cars don’t seem to be any more secure than when the university guys did it,” says Charlie Miller, a security expert at Twitter who, along with well-known hacker and security consultant Chris Valasek, engineered the attack on the Jeep Cherokee.

Fiat Chrysler, the maker of Jeeps, is now conducting the first recall to patch a cybersecurity problem, covering 1.4 million Jeeps. And experts and lawmakers are warning the auto industry and regulators to move faster to plug holes created by the dozens of new computers and the growing number of Internet connections

Investment could foreshadow shakeup NEW YORK (AP) – The maker of Oreo cookies might again be the target for a shake-up as “Big Food” companies scramble to transform amid changing tastes.

Activist investor Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square said it took a 7.5 percent stake in snack maker Mondelez International Inc. that was worth about $5.5 billion. The disclosure comes as Mondelez, which also makes Ritz crackers, Cadbury chocolates and Trident gum, had already been slashing costs to offset weak growth.

Such cost-cutting has become common for major packaged food companies, which are up against volatile economic conditions overseas and shifting tastes that favor foods marketed as fresher or more natural.

(AP) – Boeing and the University of South Carolina have announced a longterm research agreement that its leaders said will produce new and innovative technologies for the aerospace industry, as well as the engineers to foster them.

University President Harris Pastides and Boeing Chief Technology Officer John Tracy made the announcement Thursday at the school’s McNair Center for aerospace research in Columbia.

Boeing, which is the world’s largest aerospace company, is expected to invest up to $5 million over the life of the agreement. The money should pay for up to 2 dozen research projects that are expected to improve

CHICAGO (AP) — Nearly $250 million of improvements are coming to Midway International Airport, the city of Chicago announced Thursday, including additions and renovations at its security checkpoints, parking garage and concessions.

The modernization project is in response to concerns from business travelers and tourists, the city said in a news release, especially a new 80,000-square-foot security area meant to address travelers’ common complaints about frequent bottlenecks.

Renovations also will be made to the airport’s stores and restaurants, adding 50 percent more concessions space as well as lounges, a spa and medical services. The expansion will create 1,700 construction and concession jobs, the city said.

City officials hope to receive bids through the end of this year and evaluate them in the first 3 months of next year before having the Chicago City Council consider the project in the second quarter of next year.

Its workers assemble the company’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft at its 740acre facility in North Charleston. About 6,000 people are employed at the complex. It also opened a research center in North Charleston that focuses on composite fuselage and propulsion production.

Pastides said he thinks the partnership will help transform South Carolina’s economy.

University officials said the McNair Center includes a productionlevel automated fiber placement machine, which allows for the testing of new materials and designs for industry partners. Last year, the center announced a multiyear research contract with the Dutch-based Fokker Technologies.

But two Democratic senators, Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, have introduced a bill that would force the industry to seal off critical computers and add technology to stop hackers in real time.

Security experts say automakers should have systems that recognize rogue commands and stop them from taking control of a car. Some already do.

They also say car companies must behave more like the personal computer industry, instantaneously updating software via the Internet to stay ahead in a perpetual cat-and-mouse game.

Tesla and BMW already can do this, and nearly all automakers are planning for it.

“The adversary only needs to find one way to compromise the system, where a defender needs to protect against all ways,” says Yoshi Kohno, associate professor of computer science at the University of Washington, who was part of 2010 hack.

Kane under investigation in New York Blackhawks still gathering information on situation

BY JARED S. HOPKINS & STACY ST. CLAIR Chicago Tribune

With Blackhawks superstar Patrick Kane facing a police investigation in his western New York hometown, his team and the NHL on Thursday were closely watching developments surrounding a Chicago favorite son who had seemingly moved on from bad-boy behavior to become one of the faces of his sport.

Taking it in stride Coaching change, busier summer just fine with Dukes

It came as a surprise to just about everyone in attendance at the Dixon boys soccer team banquet last fall, when Mahmoud Etemadi told his team and staff that he was stepping down after 12 seasons at the helm of the boys program.

“It was just getting to be too much,” the longtime coach said. “I’m having surgery soon, and I’m getting older. It was multiple reasons, but I had a good run. It was great.”

Etemadi, 66, will undergo knee replacement

While not coaching this fall, he expects to watch most of the Dukes’ home matches.

Longtime Dixon assistant coach Josh Brigl will take over the boys program this

fall. This will be his first head coaching job.

“It was a big surprise he stepped down,” Brigl said. “Mahmoud actually coached me when I was in high school, so it was a little interesting but I’m excited to get going.”

Brigl was hired in January, and brings with him fresh ideas to a help turn around a team that went 6-13-1 a season ago, and had a 1-15-2 record the season prior.

Some of those ideas began to take shape this summer, as Brigl is trying to run a new formation which includes several players working out at new positions.

ohn Danks is your ace this week. G’night, Sox fans. Drive home safely.

Danks has been better than Chris Sale the last time through the rotation. Better than Jeff Samardzija. Better than all of them.

Not to make you suicidal, but Danks is the only Sox starter to get a win in their, um, playoff push. I just wrote “playoff push” with a straight face. Sorta.

Anyway, Sale has lost consecutive games, which hasn’t happened in 2 years. The Red Sox and Rays rocked Sale for seven earned runs in each of his last two starts. He looks tired – see his 7.61 ERA since the All-Star Game for details – and needs a rest, but the Sox won’t give him one.

You know who else looks like he needs a rest? Carlos Rodon, that’s who.

Like Sale, Rodon has allowed 14 earned runs his last two outings. What’s worse, Rodon was given a 5-run lead in the first inning Wednesday, and couldn’t even qualify for the win.

It’s hard to make a 5-0 lead unwatchable, so, congratulations, Sox. They gained no ground in their, um, playoff push, which includes trailing a Tigers team that traded its best pitcher and one of its best hitters – a hitter the White Sox tried to acquire.

Summer conditioning should pay off for Dukes STRIDE

CONTINUED FROM B1

The team also participated in several rigorous summer sessions with guest coaches that focused heavily on conditioning and skill work.

“All summer long since school ended, we’ve been going pretty hard,” Brigl said. “Right away in June, we started with the conditioning so we were in shape from the start.”

The team worked with a strength and conditioning coach for 2 weeks at the start of the summer program, as well as working with Colin Crichton, a former Dixon soccer player who runs a soccer camp in eastern Iowa.

Crichton spent a week in Dixon working with the team. His focus was on skill and agility, something the players believe will help with their quickness and awareness during matches.

“I’ve really enjoyed the summer,” said Connor Carlson, one of Dixon’s

I’m excited because I definitely think our first touch and movement off the ball will be better.”

For senior Thaison Somsri-Betts, the summer of soccer has been beneficial. In past seasons, Somsri-Betts spent his time away from school on family vacations and relaxing, but the structured

work has helped get him off the couch and into cleats.

“For me, the conditioning really paid off,” said Somsri-Betts, who will be moving to center forward this season after 3 years of being a defender. “I’m usually out of shape in the summer, and all the things we did gave me a reason to put in more effort and time.”

Alongside special appearances from various coaches, the team competed in tournaments in DeKalb, Moline, and Freeport.

Brigl hopes the friendly in DeKalb, five matches in Moline, and a match in Freeport will help fix a team chemistry issue that surfaced over the first few weeks of last season.

“We’re kind of starting form square one,” Brigl said. “We wanted the boys to get moving and keep it up all the way through July. We were looking for more chemistry, and we’d like to figure that out by the time the season starts.”

The Cubs’ Jorge Soler follows through on a two-RBI single during the first inning Thursday against the Giants at Wrigley Field. The Cubs re-took the lead for the second NL wild card spot with a 5-4 victory.

Cubs score early, hold off SF Bullpen closes out Giants for key win; Cards blank Reds By the Associated Press

Rookie bopper Kyle Schwarber homered in his second consecutive game, and the Chicago Cubs beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 Thursday night at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs, playing meaningful baseball in August for the first time in years, won for the seventh time in eight games. They also moved a half-game ahead of the Giants in the race for the second NL wild card.

Jorge Soler drove in the game’s first two runs with a bases-loaded single in the first inning, and Schwarber made it 5-0 with a threerun drive off Chris Heston (11-6) in the second. But instead of an easy

San Francisco’s Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer off Jason Hammel in the fourth, and Brandon Crawford added another one off

Tommy Hunter in the sixth to make it 5-4, before the Cubs bullpen held the Giants scoreless the rest of the way.

Cardinals 3, Reds 0: Michael Wacha gave the Cardinals’ tired bullpen a respite by throwing seven innings in the rain, and St. Louis pulled away for a win in Cincinnati.

The Cardinals improved to 30 games over .500 (69-39) for the first time since the end of the 2013 season. They took two of three in Cincinnati, and have won 15 of their last 18 series altogether. The Reds were shut out for the last 18 innings.

Wacha (13-4) allowed four hits and two walks, with six strikeouts.

CONTINUED FROM B1

Kane had cleaned up act in last few years INVESTIGATION CONTINUED FROM B1

Neighbors told the Tribune that three unmarked police cars descended upon Kane’s Hamburg home Sunday, and several plainclothes officers entered his house using flashlights. At least one officer wore gloves and could be seen taking pictures in the front, said one witness, who asked not to be named.

At 26, Kane is an NHL fan favorite, and the cornerstone of a Blackhawks’ dynasty that quickly renewed Chicago’s love affair with hockey. He signed an 8-year, $84 million contract extension in July 2014, and laid claim to the league’s best-selling jersey later that year.

In June, he helped lift the city’s third Stanley Cup

trophy in 6 years with a playoff performance that included 11 goals and a dozen assists.

And as his popularity grew, so seemingly did Kane. Once known for brawling and alcoholfueled behavior, he had stayed out of trouble the past 3 years. There were no reports of things that had caused problems for him and the team in the past – cabdriver altercations, lost weekends in Wisconsin, photos of a partying Kane burning up social media.

“It was the offseason, and you’re trying to have a good time, but you have to realize the spotlight you’re in no matter where you are,” he said at the 2012 Blackhawks Convention.

“For me, the situation I’m in now is you always have to act like someone is watching you.”

In many ways, his maturity level appeared to have finally caught up with his talent. His reformation became so much a part of the Patrick Kane narrative that he joked about it after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup. “I know you said I’ve been growing up, but watch out for me the next week,” Kane told fans at the championship rally.

Kane spent Saturday night at SkyBar, a popular Buffalo club about 15 miles from his lakefront mansion, and stayed past midnight with friends, a manager at the bar said.

The evening was documented on social media.

The winger had planned to host a private party at the club this coming Saturday, when he was scheduled to spend the day with the Stanley Cup per the league tradition

that allows the trophy to travel among the winning team’s members during the offseason. Another bar manager said that party had not been canceled as of Thursday night.

Kane could not be reached for comment. His agent, Pat Brisson, issued a statement that first referred to the Blackhawks release, noting the team is gathering information and reviewing reports.

Brisson then added: “It would not be appropriate to provide further comment at this time.”

His attorney, Paul Cambria, told the Tribune that no arrest has been made in the case.

Hamburg police Chief Gregory Wickett declined to confirm or deny the investigation to the Tribune. The Erie County district attorney’s office also declined comment.

Wednesday in Texas. “I don’t know how you could be, I don’t know how anybody ever could be back to exactly the way they were.

“But not being back exactly the same that I was doesn’t mean that I haven’t become better in some way. I think there’s always positives that come out of every scenario.”

Despite the gruff exterior and the growl he’s known for throughout a decorated NASCAR career, Stewart is actually sensitive, and tries hard to avoid situations that can set him off. He never read any of the articles that vilified him for his role in the death of a young, aspiring race car driver. The vitriol was scathing, the jokes from comedians he enjoyed hurtful.

He’s hoping to go to Watkins Glen on Thursday and keep his head down and avoid the reminders of the last 2 years.

The easiest way to move forward and not linger on the tragedy is to put together a strong weekend on the track.

Those are hard to come by these days. The 44-year-old driver hasn’t won in 62 races, a streak that dates to Dover in June 2013, before he broke his leg.

It is the same by a passed hand

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

G.K. Chesterton, an English writer who died in 1936, said, “By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece.”

This week, I have been trying to clarify the confusion that responder can have after the opener bids one of a major and the next player interposes a takeout double.

Then, a jump to two no-trump shows game-invitational values with four-card or longer support for partner’s major.

With game-forcing strength, responder bids three notrump. Here, though, responder is a passed hand, so cannot have a game-force un-

less he has distributional values in the form of a singleton or void, when he could make a splinter bid. I know, more confusion.

In this deal, North indicates a maximum pass with four or

more spades, and South bids game. (Yes, South might have opened one no-trump. Then North might have raised to three no-trump, which would not have worked well; or he would have used Stayman and reached four spades.)

West cashes two top hearts, then shifts to the club jack.

Declarer wins with dummy’s ace and runs the spade jack.

West takes the trick and leads another club. How should South continue?

It looks obvious to take the diamond finesse, but West, who could not open the bidding, has already shown up with 11 high-card points.

East must have the diamond queen. Declarer should draw trumps, cash his diamond ace, and play a diamond to dummy’s king.

Keep counting those highcard points. © 2015 UFS

CHILD CARE

512

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))

Astrograph Charity Begins At Home Friday August 7, 2015 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be sensitive to the needs of those around you. What you consider harmless flirtation will be easily misinterpreted. Take precautions to avoid sending the wrong signals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Shake up your routine a little.

Plan a day trip. The change of scenery will be inspiring, and it’s likely that you will meet new and interesting people along the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Charity begins at home. An older relative is in need of your assistance. Your generosity will be rewarded and your sense of pride and satisfaction will grow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Physical activity will help get you up and out of a slump. Stewing about past disappointments will lead to depression and a lack of productivity. Get moving.

Compromise and a willingness to step aside once in a while will help everything run smoothly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Reach out to someone you love.

Making plans for the future or discovering what your personal options might be will help you improve your state of mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you feel strongly about something, don’t be afraid to share your thoughts. It is possible to bring about significant changes and make a difference if you are determined.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you are unsure of the future, look into the past. Fascinating tidbits of information can be gained through discussions with older family members or close friends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you have been careless with your spending habits, now is the time to rectify the situation.

Keep meticulous records of your expenditures in order to find a way to cut corners.
