C8 study reveals possible, local health impacts By Beth Sergent bsergent@heartlandpublications.com OHIO VALLEY — On Monday, the latest study on the health impact from exposure to a chemical used by DuPont at its Washington Works plant in Wood County was released – the chemical ended up affecting three local water supplies, including one in Mason County and two in Meigs County. The three local water supplies affected were the Mason County Public Service District in Mason County and the Tuppers Plains-Chester and Village of Pomeroy water systems in Meigs County – these were three of six water supplies in the Ohio Valley affected by exposure to a chemical Dupont used in the manufacture of Teflon. The C8 Science Panel, which has been conducting the health studies, has been doing so since it was named in 2005 as part of a lawsuit settlement between DuPont and residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley. Nearly 70,000 customers in the six water systems affected participated in the C8 Science Panel project which collected blood and medical data for 10 health studies, some of which have already been completed and reported. This includes data presented in Monday’s latest health study from the C8 Science Panel. The panel found a probable link between C8 exposure and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Three of the four analyses of C8 Health Project participants showed small elevations in risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia among women with the highest exposure. The panel did not find a probable link between C8 exposure and the risk of pregnancy loss, either miscarriage or stillbirth. Studies were conducted using a variety of different methods, addressing the experience of residents of the area including information on pregnancy history as well as analysis of birth records from the West Virginia State Health Department. The panel did not find a probable link between C8 exposure and preterm or low birth weight infants, measures of prematurity. The panel states across a series of studies in the Mid-Ohio Valley and some other populations, there was little indication that exposure was associated with increased rate of early delivery or small infant size. The panel did not find a probable link between C8 exposure and birth defects. Also shared on Monday, research conducted by the panel suggests a possible link between C8 and thyroid disease in women. Also, researchers found the LDL cholesterol levels of residents fell as exposure to C8 fell. The C8 Science Panel is comprised of three scientists from universities in London, England, Atlanta, Ga. and Providence, RI. �Wednesday, December 7, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Ohio Valley Weather Obituaries ris, of Racine; and her nieces and nephews, Darrell (Jan) Norris of Racine, Steve (Armentha) Norris of Portland, Nina Craddock of New Haven, W.Va., Kay Platter of Middleport, Barb (Jimmy) Fry of Pomeroy, Roger (Linda) Stiles of Pataskala, Ohio.

Dems: US Chamber altered Ohio sen’s photo in ads COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Democrats are accusing a leading national business federation of altering a photo of U.S. Sen.

Democrats say the U.S. Chamber of Commerce made him look haggard and unshaven in an Associated Press photo that was used in the ad. The AP says it authorized Ford investing $128M to shift production to Ohio AVON LAKE, Ohio (AP) — Ford Motor Co.’s $128 million investment at a northeast Ohio plant will protect its nearly 2,000 jobs while shifting medium-duty truck production from Mexico, the automaker said Tuesday. Ford will retool the Ohio Assembly Plant, located west of Cleveland, after ending production of Econoline vans in 2013, according to Jim Tetreault, Ford’s vice president of North American manufacturing. Truck production will be moved from a joint venture with Navistar International Corp. in General Escobedo, Mexico, near Monterrey. Gov. John Kasich said the state’s incentive package valued at $15 million will be recouped within a year with higher tax collections. “What’s a better Christmas present than hearing about this,” Kasich said. He said Ford’s announcement showed a positive trend for manufacturing. The manufacturing sector has grown for 28 straight months, according to a survey released last week by the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers.

Attorney Mike Miller says 43-year-old David Dye entered the plea Tuesday in Delaware County and is preparing for trial. Common Pleas Judge W. Duncan Whitney scheduled the trial for March and set a $150,000 bond. Dye, of Westerville in suburban Columbus, has been indicted on the felony suspension charge and misdemeanor driving with open alcohol. Genoa Township police say he had a mixed drink in his vehicle but was not drinking when arrested Nov. 19. Police say Dye was released from parole in January after serving nearly eight years in the death of Trooper Frank Vazquez. OH sheriff: Fatal shooting of suspect appropriate HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — A southwest Ohio sheriff believes a township police officer acted appropriately in shooting a man to death last month. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said Tuesday that his office has completed its investigation into the fatal shooting of Michael Snader Jr. by Ross Township Officer Gary Vaughn. Jones says he believes Vaughn acted appropriately under the circumstances. Township officers responded Nov. 22 to a 911 call about domestic violence at a home near Hamilton. Authorities say the 33-year-old Snader was armed with a gun when he confronted Officer Vaughn. The sheriff says Vaughn fired multiple shots at Snader, killing him. The investigation results will be forwarded to Butler County’s prosecutor.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio said Tuesday it plans to mount legal challenges against two bills that would restrict access to abortions in the state if they become law, including a measure that would impose the nation’s most stringent limit. State lawmakers are scheduled to hear testimony on both bills this week. One measure — referred to as the “heartbeat bill” — would ban the procedure at the first detectable fetal heartbeat. That’s sometimes as early as six weeks into pregnancy. The legislation passed the Ohio House in June, but was stalled in the Senate while lawmakers reviewed the measure. It is now slated for its first committee hearing in that chamber on Wednesday. A second bill pending in the Senate would prohibit abortion coverage by health plans operating in new insurance markets, called exchanges, which are laid out in the federal health care overhaul. A committee heard testimony on the bill Tuesday, and a vote on whether to send the bill to the full Senate was extended into Wednesday. Supporters of the heartbeat bill hope to spark a lawsuit that overturns Roe v. Wade, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in America. The ruling upheld a woman’s right to an abortion until the fetus is viable outside the womb, usually at 22 to 24 weeks. Gary Daniels, associate director of ACLU of Ohio, said his group believes both bills are unconstitutional, and the organization has pledged to fight them should the measures become law. “Like we have always done, we will be there in court to defend the reproductive rights of Ohio’s women,” Daniels said. Daniels contends the bill on abortion coverage violates a voter-backed state constitutional amendment that says no law or rule should prohibit the purchase or sale of health care or health insurance. The same legal argument could potentially be applied to the heartbeat bill, he said, adding that the organization’s lawyers would continue to explore other legal issues with both measures.

Joyce B rothers Dear Dr. Brothers: My wife died suddenly two years ago while undergoing an operation. She and I were happy and were settled in a 22-year marriage. But since I am still relatively young, it’s been in my mind the past year or so that I should be looking for another lady to spend my days with and maybe even fall in love with. The problem is that I haven’t been able to move on. I am filled with guilt and sadness whenever I make an attempt. What can I do to get going? — C.P. Dear C.P.: You sound very discouraged, but if you look at your progress another way, you will see that you are halfway there. Your head wants to move on, even if your heart isn’t quite prepared yet. If no part of you were able to move forward, then you really would have something to worry about. But that is not the case. You may be aware that some professionals believe there are several distinct stages of grief that each mourner goes through, and until that work is done, it is difficult to move forward. You may or may not want to look into those, but whether you know about them or believe in them, you will progress in your own way, at your own speed. Right now, part of you is ready to move on, but there obviously are some memories to come to terms with as well as Dr. Joyce Brothers revising your vision of the future that would have been with your wife. Change is difficult and something the human psyche almost always is ready to resist at some level. Though you think you want to start dating and finding love, the process and the thought itself can be terrifying. What if you can’t find anyone? What if no one wants you? What if you are hurt, or your new love dies, too? What if you end up alone again? These are the kinds of thoughts you may need to face and grapple with. Be patient — your time will come. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m 35 and single. I had a good job, but it has been cut down to part time. I recently broke my wrist, lost my beloved aunt and have moved to a new city, where I am pretty much alone. My ex keeps calling, and I don’t want to see him. With all of this, I feel so stressed that I don’t want to get out of bed, many days. Is it possible to cope with all this trauma? I thought I was a strong person, but I can’t seem to regain my former drive and confidence. — J.N. Dear J.N.: I’m sorry for all your misfortunes but glad to hear that none of them should be the kind that you will be unable to move forward from and overcome. Certainly the death of a favorite aunt can be a terrible blow, but eventually you will find comfort in your memories and will be able to face your loss with more composure. Your wrist will heal, you will be able to feel at home in your new city, and with any luck and a little persistence on your part, your ex will figure out that it’s time to move on. So your future looks brighter than you might recognize right now. This is not to say that it will be easy to dig yourself out of the hole you find yourself in at the moment. It is at times like these when many people benefit from talking to a professional, who will help them sort out their feelings and make the plans necessary to move up and out of the place where they are foundering. You may be familiar with the way some psychologists look at events and their effect on our mental health. They often rank significant events that are likely to cause anxiety or depression. Moving, divorce or marriage (good things can cause stress too), a death, illness and so forth. You do have a number of them all at once. So don’t be so hard on yourself.

The only question was which one? The River Valley girls basketball team jumped out to a 15-7 first quarter advantage and never looked back Monday night during a 62-33 victory over visiting Meigs in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County. The host Lady Raiders (1-2) never trailed in the contest and led 30-15 by the intermission, as RVHS converted 15-of-21 free throws in the opening 16 minutes to establish that 2-for-1 edge. The Lady Marauders, conversely, went 1-of-2 at the charity stripe in the first half. Both teams found their offensive rhythm in the third quarter, as the Lady Raiders went on a 17-13 run en route to a 47-28 lead headed into the finale. The hosts closed regulation with a 15-5 surge to wrap up the 29-point decision. River Valley finished the night with 11 turnovers and went 23-of-32 at the free throw line for 72 percent, while Meigs had six turnovers and made 5-of-10 charity tosses for 50 percent. Cady Gilmore led RVHS and all scorers with 28 points, followed by Alli Neville with 13 points and Beth Misner with 11 markers. Mercedes Combs added five points to the winning cause, while Shalin Comer and Kaci Bryant rounded things out with respective totals of three and two points. Neville and Misner both hauled in nine rebounds, while Gilmore also dished out nine assists in the triumph. Morgan Russell led Meigs with 13 points, followed by Mercadies George with seven markers.

That distinction belongs to Baylor’s Robert Griffin III. The two star quarterbacks will join fellow finalists Trent Richardson, Tyrann Mathieu and Montee Ball at the Heisman presentation Saturday night in Manhattan. Luck is the only repeat finalist this season, while Griffin is the first Baylor player to get an invite to the ceremony. The school that never has had a player finish better than fourth in the Heisman voting now seems to have the front-runner. “I’m sure it will be a really close vote,” Griffin told reporters in Waco, Texas, after watching the announcement with teammates and coaches on Monday. Richardson is the second Alabama running back to be a finalist in the past three years. Former teammate Mark Ingram won the Heisman in 2009. Ball has scored 38 touchdowns for Wisconsin and needs one more to match Barry Sanders’ NCAA record. Mathieu, the LSU defensive back nicknamed “Honey Badger,” has made numerous game-changing plays for the top-ranked Ti- gers. The field was deep this season and several deserving players didn’t make the cut. Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore, a finalist last season; Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley; and record-breaking passer Case Keenum of Houston did not receive enough votes to be among the final five. Ballots from the 926 voters, mostly media members and former winners, were due Monday evening. Luck was the Heisman runner-up to Auburn’s Cam Newton last year and passed up a chance to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft to return to Stanford for his junior season. From the moment he made the decision to stay in school in January, he became the odds-on favorite to win the big bronze statue. Luck is looking to become Stanford’s second Heisman winner, joining quarterback Jim Plunkett, who won in 1970. “It would mean a lot,” Luck said in an interview on ESPN. “I would mean a great deal for the university. Mean a lot to me and a great deal to the football program, as well.” He had another stellar season, passing for 3,170 yards with 35 touchdowns while leading the Cardinal to an 11-1 record and a second straight BCS bid. But the competition has been fierce and numerous contenders emerged. The prognosticators now have Griffin as the most likely winner. Heismanpundit.com, which has successfully predicted the past four winners with a straw poll of 13 voters, had Griffin as its top vote-getter on Monday. Luck was second and Richardson third. S t i ff a r m t r o p h y. c o m , which compiles ballots from voters who make their choices public and has predicted the past nine winners, had Griffin winning by a comfortable margin over Luck, with Richardson third. Griffin leads the nation in passer rating (192.3), with 3,998 yards and 36 touchdowns. He has also run for 644 yards and nine touchdowns. And much like Luck, Griffin has led a longstruggling program to its greatest success in decades. Baylor is 9-3 this season, its first nine-win season since 1986, including its first victory against Oklahoma. “Baylor nation we’re in there,” Griffin said. “Now we just got to try to snatch it. Hopefully the vote turns out our way. “Being invited is an honor. It’s not all that we want, but it’s a starting spot.” The best showing a Baylor player has had in the Heisman voting was quar- CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Kurt Busch and Penske Racing parted ways Monday after six bumpy seasons, a split that clouds the former champion’s future in NASCAR as he embarks on a personal journey to reclaim his passion for racing. Both the team and driver said ending the relationship was a “mutual agreement,” but most believe Busch was fired in the fallout of yet another embarrassing incident. A fan caught Busch on video verbally abusing an ESPN reporter during last month’s season finale, and Busch was fined $50,000 by NASCAR after the clip was posted on YouTube. Busch, though, was insistent leaving Penske is probably the best thing for him personally and seemed at peace during an interview with The Associated Press. “What’s troublesome is this five letter ‘f-i-r-e-d’ word is being used, but it’s obvious to me that looking back, I was very unhappy over the second half of the season,” Busch told the AP. “I need to put the fun back into racing for me. I want to be a better driver and a better person. Today is the day that begins. I take a deep breath, I smile, and I move forward from here.” Busch admitted last week during activities surrounding the season-ending awards ceremony that he began seeing a sports psychologist about two months ago to address what he called “personal issues.” Known for both his intensity and notorious meltdowns during in-race communications with his race team, the 2011 season was particularly brutal for Busch. Although he won two races and made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, he had an epic tantrum over his in-car radio at Richmond in May that set the tone for the season. He feuded with rival Jimmie Johnson and openly struggled with an ability to keep his competition with Johnson in perspective. Busch also had at least three public flare-ups with media members, Steve Addington became his second crew chief to quit in three years, and he was overshadowed on and off the track by Penske teammate Brad Keselowski. He also became publicly annoyed over interest in his ongoing divorce and new relationship with Patricia Driscoll, head of the national charity the Armed Forces Foundation. His behavior wore thin on the buttoned-up Penske organization, which signed Busch away from Roush Fenway Racing a year removed from his 2004 Cup championship. Busch said after reflecting during the Thanksgiving break, he came to realize he maybe just isn’t Penske material. “I’m not sure I was the best fit,” he admitted. “My frankness and my intensity, it didn’t play the way I intended it to. It didn’t fit.” Busch won 10 Cup races and made the Chase four times since joining Penske in 2006. Bud Denker, senior vice president for Penske Corp., seemed puzzled by Busch’s assessment of his fit with the organization. “We thought he did a terrific job for us on the track, and there is no better driver who hits the marks, relative to sponsors and understanding the brands, then Kurt,” Denker said. “He was admirable. I never saw him as a bad fit, so those are his thoughts.” Denker was also quick to stress that Busch was not fired and the split came after weeks of discussions about concerns both sides had regarding the direction of the organization. Busch has always been outspoken about how he believes things should be done, and regardless of his incident at Home- stead with ESPN reporter Dr. Jerry Punch, both sides had been moving toward a split. “Was the Homestead situation the reason he left? No. We had our concerns and he had his, and it was time for us to separate,” Denker said. “I think we’ve done it mutually and above board. It was not a firing. We did not fire Kurt Busch. “We said ‘here’s where we are going in the future, Kurt, and we talked to our sponsors and they concurred with us.” Shell, primary sponsor of the No. 22 Dodge, said in a statement it supported the decision. “Shell and Pennzoil utilize our motorsports program to gain technical knowledge for our products and brands and to promote them to consumers in a positive way,” the statement said. “Moving forward we will continue to work with the team at Penske Racing and to evaluate the best options for our motorsports program.” Denker said discussions began in earnest Monday on a replacement for Busch, and the team had been contacted by several drivers “raising their hand.” Among active Cup drivers available are David Ragan, Brian Vickers and David Reutimann, who all head into 2012 without rides. There’s a deep pool of talent in the Nationwide Series, as well, but Denker said longtime Penske driver Sam Hornish Jr. is not a candidate. “Our intentions all along have been to run Sam for the Nationwide Series championship next season,” Denker said. “We love that plan, NASCAR loves that plan, the sponsors love that plan.” It’s also not clear where Busch is headed next. There are no competitive rides available unless a team owner specifically makes room for him, but Busch would All-TVC Ohio Football Chris Russell, Athens Sr Mitch Rider, Athens Sr DeVon Sharp, Athens Sr Nick Stanley, Athens Sr Trevor Sorrell, Athens Sr Travis Taylor, Athens Sr Cody Mack, Athens Sr Dustin Young, NelsYork Sr Nathan Dean, Nels-York Sr Kyle Moore, Nels-York Sr Jacob Perkins, NelsYork Sr Daniel Kline, Nels-York Sr Charlie Barrett, Meigs Sr Jeffrey Roush, Meigs Sr Sr Blake Crow, Meigs Sr Zach Sayre, Meigs Sr Trey Bennett, Alexander Michael Douglas, Alexander Sr Michael Daniels, Alexander Sr James Bolin, Alexander Sr Jaylen Prater, Wellston Sr Michael Grey, Wellston Sr Austin Craig, Wellston Sr Dakota Brown, Wellston Jr Joey Batey, Vinton County Sr Curtis Lindner, Vinton County Sr Coach of the Year: Ryan Adams, Athens Co-Offensive MVP: DeVon Sharp, Athens and Dustin Young, Nels-York Defensive MVP: Mitch Rider, Athens The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 Tornados From Page 4 point range for 20 percent.

And the clubs, at this point, are holding out some hope that that market doesn’t exist.” “But it can all change in three days in Dallas,” he said. As Alderson’s team discovered, it can happen even faster than that. Surely, there were other general managers itching to get busy. Six teams have hired new GMs, and Houston will become the seventh. A big name who will be available, if any team wants to take the risk: Manny Ramirez. Major League Baseball announced Sunday the AllStar slugger had applied to be reinstated from the voluntary retired list and his drug suspension had been cut from 100 games to 50. MLB and the players’ union agreed to trim the penalty because he sat out most of last season, when he played a week for Tampa Bay. He turns 40 in May and has 555 career home runs. Detroit manager Jim Leyland was among the early arrivals Sunday at the 1,606room Anatole, a familiar baseball site. The hotel is hosting the meetings for the sixth time inside its walls in 2000, more than a half-billion dollars was spent in a hurry as Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez and Mike Hampton each got ninefigure contracts. Last year’s meetings got off to a rousing start, too, when free-agent outfielder Jayson Werth and the Washington Nationals reached a $126 million, seven-year deal. The agreement came on a Sunday, a day before the official opening. In fact, workmen were still assembling the podium when the Nationals and agent Scott Boras walked into the press room to make the announcement. Also in town early this year were former Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals president Stan Kasten, and Chicago White Sox special assistant Dennis Gilbert, both part of groups lining up to bid for the Los Angeles Dodgers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. �Legals LEGAL ADVERTISEMENT The Ohio Valley Bank Company Vs.

The perception of what he meant to the game did, though. “From the discussion yesterday, we kind of got in depth,” Williams said. “We really, really talked about each individual and some things were brought out, I imagine that wasn’t brought out last time, in so far as what he’d done for the game of baseball, the $60 million he raised for (juvenile diabetes research), all the other stuff we knew.” “This was the case of Ron Santo. We talked about it, we had good discussions on it and it happened,” he said. Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson was also part of the panel that voted on Santo. “I kept thinking that he would get in then, then, then and finally he got in, but it’s a little too late for him to be there,” he said. “He’s just a terrific guy, he’s baseball through and through, he’s done a lot for the game of baseball in his career, and he’s been though a lot of hardships physically and he was just a terrific player,” he said. “He certainly belongs in the Hall of Fame. A long time coming. No one knows the reason he didn’t get in when the writers were voting, but this process we have has been the fairest, I think.” Santo is the 15th third baseman in the Hall, including three from the Negro Leagues. He was a career .277 hitter and hit at least 30 homers every season from 1964-67. Santo made his debut at 20 with the Cubs in 1960 and played his whole career with them until finishing with the crosstown White Sox in 1974. Like Banks, Santo never got to play in a World Series. They came close in 1969, overtaken in the stretch by a New York Mets team managed by Hodges, the former Brooklyn star first baseman. That year, Santo liked to jump and click his heels after wins. It was also the season a fateful picture was taken, showing Santo with on a bat on his shoulder in the on-deck circle at Shea Stadium as a black cat scampered past. “The ‘69 team was so very, very close, and the joy that they had not only as players, but to the day he passed, and they’re still so very close,” Vicki Santo said.

Bernie Williams joins Jack Morris, Barry Larkin and others on that ballot. “This is a great day for baseball and for Cubs fans everywhere,” Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. “Ron was a staple of the Cubs’ experience every single day for decades.” “I always admired Ron’s courage and loyalty, and I miss him very much,” he said. Jim Kaat was second with 10 votes, Gil Hodges and Minnie Minoso each drew nine and Tony Oliva got eight on the 10-person Golden Era ballot. Buzzie Bavasi, Ken Boyer, Charlie Finley, Allie Reynolds and Luis Tiant each received under three votes. Santo never came close to election during his 15 times on the BBWAA ballot, peaking at 43 percent far short of the needed 75 percent in his last year of eligibility in 1998. Santo had gotten closer in previous elections by the Veterans Committee. The panel has been revamped several times in the last decade, aimed at giving a better look at deserving candidates.

It just shows you can’t give up,” she said during a conference call from Arizona. “All he said (was) I hope I get in in my lifetime, that’s certainly a reasonable request for anybody who gets an honor as special as this one. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be,” she said. “With his lifetime every disappointment that came along, he was very disappointed.” Santo joined former Cubs teammates Ernie Banks, Ferguson Jenkins and Williams in the Hall. That famed quartet did most everything at the Friendly Confines through the 1960s and early 1970s except bring a World Series to the ivy-covered ballpark. “With Ernie, myself and Fergie, those players he played with … to hear this kind of news today that he’s inducted in the baseball Hall of Fame is really gratifying because so many times that we talked about it, it’s a place he wanted to be,” Williams said.

Your sweetie might have to adjust to your new concerns. If you are single, you will look for someone who adds to your life, as opposed to trying to “save” another person. You have a lot to smile about. TAURUS helps you in any way possible. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Good suggestions and bright ideas seem to happen naturally, especially when communicating with a loved one or dear friends. The good news remains — you have the energy to act on the situation as well. Tonight: Treat yourself well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You feel good; act accordingly. Do you do different activities when you are on top of the world? Charge! If you’re feeling less than great, see what is going on. Consider eliminating certain factors in your life that put you in a downward spiral. Tonight: All smiles. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Listen to a friend you really care about. His or her advice right now might be more grounded than in the past. You feel tired and drawn, as you have gone out of your way for others. Now go out of your way for yourself. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a decision that is taking you in a new direction. Actions taken right now might not work out instantly, but point to the correct direction. You have made an enormous effort and need to see the responses. Tonight: Where people are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others naturally gravitate toward you, but is this what you want? Sometimes you might be happier assuming a low profile. Feeling a little suffocated is one of the outcomes of so much publicity. You can handle it. Tonight: A partner needs attention, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Take an overview. Be willing to dig into an issue more deeply, or detach more to understand what is happening, or check to see that you have a full perspective. Tonight: Let your mind wander. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Relate on a one-onone level with others. That type of attention always makes someone feel important. Your caring comes back in multiples like you never expected. You might need to reveal frustration about a key issue. Tonight: Find time for a special friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might be taken aback by everything that happens around you. The issue might be that you have some strong opinions and want to proceed in a key direction. You also need to let others follow through on what they feel is the right way. Accept what is happening. Tonight: Sort through ideas and invitations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Maintain an even pace, and clear out your errands. You have the ability to accomplish a lot. You mobilize your feelings and get the job done. There is an awkwardness between you and someone you really care about. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could be overwhelmed by all the ideas that are coming forward. News from a distance sets you in a new direction. Make no judgments. You don’t have all the news and information. Trust that more is coming in. Tonight: Let the fun begin. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Stay centered on your personal patterns. Realize what is going on behind the scenes with what you want to bring forward. You also can choose to ignore what is happening and give yourself some space. Tonight: Where the action is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Clear your desk and answer calls before making a key decision. Recognize what you are feeling and what is going on behind the scenes. You might decide to say little and observe more. Make an important call; don’t keep putting it off. Tonight: Visit with a friend as soon as you can.
