Joy’s Home and More
opens in Pineville
Staff Report
Joy’s Home and More held its grand opening on Wednesday. The Bell County Chamber of
Commerce put on a ribbon cutting ceremony for
the new business. The owner of the new store is
Joy Goodin.
Joy’s Home and More is located on Pine Street in
Pineville, across from the old courthouse. The store
is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday through
Saturday. Goodin said those hours may change at a
later date.
The store will be selling antiques, home decor,
older furniture and much more.
“We have a little bit of everything,” said Goodin.
“I love the older furniture.”
Goodin’s enjoyment of the older furniture got
her started in the business. She said a store in
Barbourville that she always went to was going out
of business and no one seemed to be interested in
keeping it open, so she bought the store.
The aforementioned store is also called Joy’s
Home and More. It’s located along U.S. 25E in
Barbourville.
Goodin said the Pineville location had been in the
works four months before it opened.
What started as a discussion of appendices in
the code book regarding
building permits turned
into what could have been
a history lesson of the evolution of building permits

Mall Manager Charles
Burchfield explained that
through joint ventures
the mall staff was able to
see firsthand how important the CRF is to the
community.
“We saw how they were
able to give away so many
books and how the kids
really enjoyed all of the
things they were doing,”
said Burchfield. “We just
wanted to try to help
them to be able to do
more.”
Mall management knew
CRF may need help preparing for events, he said.
“We knew that they,
at times, needed a location, a facility to work
out of, that they didn’t
always have that,” continued Burchfield. “We had
allowed them to store
items and things in the
past.”

National, International, People Briefs
FRANKFORT (AP) — Kentucky
officials are planning an aerial assault
against a significant mosquito infestation around Kentucky Lake and Lake
Barkley in far western Kentucky.
The state Department of Agriculture
says it will work with private contractors to spray an area within two miles
around the lakes between the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers to the north and
U.S. 68 to the south. The department
says about 133,249 acres will be treated.
One of the contractors says no special
precautions are necessary during the
application.
Heavy rains in the area are blamed for
the infestation.
Department officials met with representatives of Gov. Steve Beshear’s
administration to put together the plan
to combat the mosquito outbreak.
State Agriculture Commissioner
James Comer says the infestation was
too big for his department to control
from the ground.
Kentuckians react to
gay marriage rulings
LOUISVILLE (AP) — Kentuckians
on both sides of the gay marriage debate
are finding reasons to praise the U.S.
Supreme Court’s rulings on the issue.
Martin Cothran, a spokesman for The
Family Foundation, says Kentucky’s
Marriage Amendment was left intact.
Kentucky voters amended the state’s
Constitution in 2004 to define marriage
as something exclusively between a man
and woman.
The high court on Wednesday struck
down a provision of a federal law denying federal benefits to married gay
couples. It also cleared the way for
resumption of same-sex marriage in
California. But the court said nothing
about the validity of gay marriage bans
Mine cited during
MSHA inspections
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — A coal
mine in Kentucky shut down for more
than a week in May following an inspection by federal regulators.
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration says inspectors issued
23 citations and six unwarrantable failure orders following an inspection of
Tram Energy LLC’s No. 1 mine in Floyd
County on May 8. The alleged violations
included mining without required dust
controls in place and accumulations of
combustible materials.
MSHA said Wednesday that the citations and orders led to the mine’s closure from May 21 until May 30.
The citations were among 186 issued
to nine coal mines and five metal or
nonmetal mines during May’s round of
special impact inspections.
The inspections began in 2010 after
the Upper Big Branch mine explosion in
West Virginia killed 29 men.
Historical Society
affiliating with
Smithsonian
FRANKFORT (AP) — The Kentucky
Historical Society is forming a new relationship with the Smithsonian Institution.
Historical Society officials say the
affiliation will provide opportunities for
innovative collaborations and will help
secure the loan of Smithsonian artifacts
and traveling exhibitions. The affiliation
is to be announced on Saturday evening by Harold A. Closter, director of
Smithsonian Affiliations.

Upswing in housing
market a positive
for the US economy
News that builder confidence is bouncing back after
several years of being on the downside is encouraging
and could provide a huge spark for our economy.
Beginning construction of new U.S. homes increased
in May and permits to build single-family houses rose
to a five-year high. Housing starts climbed 6.8 percent,
less than forecast, to a 914,000 annualized rate after a
revised 856,000 pace in April. This will go a long way
in shoring up the expansion. Builder confidence is at
52 on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells
Fargo Housing Market Index. Any reading higher than
50 shows that more builders see sales conditions as
good rather than poor.
What is so encouraging about these numbers is that
it’s the first time the index has been above 50 since
2006 during the pre-recession.
For the past several years, potential homebuyers who
wanted to build homes were apprehensive about doing
so, but now as the economy has taken a somewhat
gradual upturn, more and more people are building
houses.
Locally, builders say they are seeing a spike in the
number of homes people want.
The city of Bowling Green has issued 51 permits for
new home construction this year, up from 46 permits
during the same period of time last year. In Warren
County, 152 residential building permits have been
issued this year, with an average expected expenditure
of $205,000 per residence. This time last year, 139

Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
were, having the one priority of making Obama a

Alter goes on to say

Senate colleagues knew
that in truth neither beating Obama nor helping
the economy was his true

Alter, McConnell wanted
most of all to be Senate
majority leader again. To
become that, all he need-

in Senate races. That did
not happen, and choosing
to become the Party of

Nor did the impersonal robocalls and the
carpet-bombing of negative ads. In an impersonal
era, people like to feel the
human touch, and when
they don’t, the party is
in trouble as the White
House floats away.
From Alter’s book we
learn more than a bit
about how Obama saw
himself and saw his opposition, or tended to believe
not in miracles but in
the time that it takes for
something to become better. Sometimes that was
a stubborn, naive part of
the president’s personality; at other times it was
quite courageous.
Double time is not what
most of us know about,
but it is the essence for
contemporary modern
life, and for politics. It
moves at high speed
because of the velocity
at which money can be
made and fluff projected
as essential information.
Slower speed, however,
is essential to gain understanding and a comprehensive perspective of our
context.
Jonathan Alter understands that so well, and
knows how to prove it
with insider information
so thoroughly, that “The
Center Holds” is one of
the best books about our
befuddling American version of democracy.

Noel, Len atop draft full of questions
Brian Mahoney
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Nerlens Noel is
coming off a major knee injury. Alex Len is
in a walking boot.
One of them could be the No. 1 pick
Thursday in an NBA draft that appears
short on stardom, and neither looks ready
to get his career off to a running start.
“This draft is really unpredictable, a lot of
guys with injuries and you don’t have any,
like, LeBron James,” Len said Wednesday.
“So it’s going to be interesting.”
Ten years after James climbed on stage
to start a draft that goes down as one of the
best in recent memory, the No. 1 pick again
belongs to Cleveland.
The Cavaliers won’t find anyone who
can play like James on the court — if they
keep the pick — and even the climbing
the stage part will be a challenge for the
big men who opened their college seasons
against each other and are competing
again now.
Noel tore the ACL in his left knee on Feb.
12, ending his lone season at Kentucky. The
6-foot-11 freshman led the nation in shot
blocking and his conference in rebounding,
but hasn’t been able to show the Cavaliers
if his offensive game has grown.
The only basketball work he did during
his visit to Cleveland was shooting some
free throws. Perhaps the pants he
wore with his sports jacket and
orange tie were just too tight, but
Noel was walking gingerly as he
exited a hotel ballroom after meeting with the media Wednesday.
“I wanted to do more.
Unfortunately I got hurt, but I
mean I definitely felt right before
I got injured I was really coming
along as a player and just really
coming into my own during that
part of the season,” Noel said.
“But like I said, unfortunately I got
hurt, so I wasn’t able to show as much as
I wanted to.”
Nor has Len, but that hasn’t stopped
the 7-1 center from the Ukraine who spent
two seasons at Maryland from climbing
into the mix at No. 1. His left foot started
bothering him around February, and he
found out after the season that it was a
stress fracture.
He was aware he was projected as a top10 pick before the draft combine, but may
go much higher even though his visits to
teams have consisted of nothing more than
interviews. He no longer needs
crutches but will be in the boot for
perhaps two more weeks.
So, with all these injury questions, what about playing it safe
and picking a healthy guy?
“I mean, probably a lot of people
wish it could be that easy,” Kansas
guard Ben McLemore said. “But
it’s a process for the teams, they’ve
got to see what’s available and
what they really need. And like
I said, this draft is up in the air
and nobody knows what’s going
to happen, who’s going to get drafted in
which order.”
Orlando has the No. 2 pick, followed by
Washington, Charlotte and Phoenix.
McLemore, Indiana’s Victor Oladipo,
Georgetown forward Otto Porter and
national player of the year Trey Burke of
Michigan are among the other players
who will hear their names called early at
Barclays Center by NBA Commissioner
David Stern in his final draft.
It’s a class that won’t draw any comparisons to the one that James led, which
featured future Miami Heat teammates
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, along with
NBA scoring champion Carmelo Anthony
among the first five picks.
Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy
King said a number of teams are trying
to trade out of the draft and acquire extra
picks for next year, which is expected to
be a stronger class. But he doesn’t know
if there will be enough teams interested
in being trade partners to get those deals
done.
“There are good players in this draft,
but right now, there are not impact players. What I mean by that is that there’s
no one you look at in this draft that
within two years will be an All-Star, say like
Kyrie Irving was, players like that,” said
Minnesota Timberwolves president Flip
Saunders, referring to the guard Cleveland
took with the No. 1 pick in 2011.

ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — New England
Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested
Wednesday and charged with murder in the shooting death of a friend prosecutors say had angered
the NFL player at a nightclub a few days earlier by
talking to the wrong people.
Hernandez, 23, was taken from his North
Attleborough home in handcuffs just over a week
after Boston semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd’s
bullet-riddled body was found in an industrial park
a mile away.
Less than two hours after the
arrest, the Patriots announced
they had cut Hernandez, a 2011
Pro Bowl selection who signed
a five-year contract last summer
worth $40 million.
Lloyd was a 27-year-old athlete
with the Boston Bandits who was
dating the sister of Hernandez’s
fiancee. He was shot multiple Hernandez
times on a secluded gravel road,
authorities said.
Hernandez “drove the victim to that remote
spot, and then he orchestrated his execution,”
prosecutor Bill McCauley said.
If convicted, Hernandez could get life in prison
without parole.
“It is at bottom a circumstantial case. It is not
a strong case,” his attorney, Michael Fee, said
at a court hearing during which Hernandez was
ordered held without bail on murder charges and
five weapons counts.
Lloyd’s family members cried and hugged as
the prosecutor outlined the killing. Two were
so overcome with emotion that they had to
leave the courtroom. McCauley said the slaying stemmed from a night out at a Boston club
called Rumor on June 14. He said Hernandez
was upset about certain things, including that
Lloyd had talked to some people Hernandez “had
troubles with.” The prosecutor did not elaborate.
No traffic problems expected at speedway
Gary Graves
AP Sports Writer
SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — That
traffic isn’t a concern for this
weekend’s NASCAR races tells
Kentucky Speedway general
manager Mark Simendinger
how well his track and state
authorities worked to improve
things last year.
There was certainly room
to grow after horrific gridlock
marred the inaugural Sprint
Cup Series race here two years
ago. Race fans and driver
Denny Hamlin complained
of crawling for hours along
Interstate 71, and thousands
never made it into the 107,000seat track.
Entry and exit was a breeze
last June following $11 million in upgrades and a traffic
plan advising commercial drivers to instead use Interstates
64 and 75 between Cincinnati
and Louisville. Kentucky
State Police said Monday the
plan would be used again this
year, and Simendinger is confident that journeys will be
even smoother the third time
around.
“There were some refinements to be made and we
tweaked things a little bit,”
Simendinger said Tuesday,
“but we didn’t have a single
car backed up for the race and
you usually don’t see that for a
NASCAR race.
“To make things even better
than last year, I don’t know if
we can do that.”
Perhaps, but neither the
track nor state police are taking anything for granted with
another large crown expected
for Saturday night’s Quaker
State 400 Cup race. It caps
a tripleheader weekend that
begins Thursday night with
the UNOH 225 Camping World
Truck Series race and continues with Friday night’s Feed
The Children 300 Nationwide
Series event.
“Last year, traffic was
perfect. I don’t think it
will be a problem. We
believe it will work again
this year.”
— Brad Arterburn,
KSP public affairs officer
More than 100 state troopers
will again help manage traffic
on I-71 and Kentucky 35 along
with parking at the speedway.
The only change is that those
needing to reach ADA parking
can use exits 55 and 57 off the
interstate.
While KSP trooper and public
affairs officer Brad Arterburn
said the re-routing of tractortrailers to other interstates
freed up I-71, he also credited
an informational network of
local outlets, the Internet and
social media such as Facebook
and Twitter, which kept race
fans informed of conditions
every half hour.
Spectators were also urged
to arrive earlier for the race
instead of the peak period several hours beforehand, which
Arterburn said resulted in a
smooth traffic flow all day.
“Last year, traffic was perfect,” Arterburn said. “I don’t
think it will be a problem. We
believe it will work again this
year.”
Arterburn also noted that
police were helped by a widening of Kentucky 35 and exit
57 off the interstate and an
additional 20,000 parking spaces. The latter move was one
of several taken by Kentucky
Speedway, which also built a
pedestrian tunnel and began a
shuttle between parking lots
and the track.
The combination allowed the
track to avoid a repeat of the
first-year nightmare that’s been
referred to as “Carmageddon,”
a snarl that ensnared Hamlin
to the point of fretting about
missing the pre-race drivers’
meeting.
The incident still gnaws at
Speedway Motorsports Inc.
chairman Bruton Smith, whose
company owns the speedway.
Smith said earlier this
month in an interview with
The Associated Press that the
state could help even more
by widening I-71 southbound
from Cincinnati and provide “a
whole interstate instead of half
of one.” At the same time, he
acknowledged his facility had
to do its part as well to make
things more fan friendly.
It remains a work in progress, but at least getting there
isn’t half the battle anymore.
“We want to be a first-class
facility and to do that, we have
to deal with the problems we’ve
got,” Smith said. “When people
are spending good money on a
ticket for a race, you want it to
be a great experience for them.
If we continue to do that, you’ll
see great things happen here.”

Griffin blanks Reds as A’s sweep
Janie McCauley
AP Baseball Writer
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
— Cincinnati manager
Dusty Baker acknowledged the challenge of
coming to Oakland for
a two-game interleague
series against a club his
players hardly knew.
The Reds are plenty
familiar with A.J. Griffin
now, probably more so
than they would like.
Griffin tossed a twohitter to lead Oakland to
a 5-0 victory Wednesday,
dropping the Reds to 1-4
on their eight-game road
trip ahead another tough
stop at Texas this weekend.
“That’s the first time
we’ve seen him and he
was impressive. He was
changing speeds, maybe a
20-22 mph differential on
his fastball,” Baker said.
“He had us eating out of
his hand and chasing out
of the strike zone.”
No matter how good
Homer Bailey was, the
Reds missed far too many
chances again.
Devin Mesoraco singled with one out in the
fifth for Cincinnati’s first
hit. Xavier Paul added a
two-out double in the seventh, but that was it for
the Reds.
“Everybody is going to
have a streak like this. It
didn’t matter because we
didn’t score any runs,”
Baker said. “You could,
‘Homer did this or did
that’ but we had no
chance, even if it was 1-0.
Not only are we not scoring runs but we’re not
getting any hits either.
It’s not anything you
want to do.”
Griffin (6-6) struck out
seven and walked two in a
108-pitch gem for his first
career complete game.
“He located the ball
really well and threw
strikes when he needed.
He caught a couple of
breaks here and there but
he threw a good game,”
Paul said. “It was one
of those days when our
bats were pretty slow.
Good teams find a way
to bounce back and we’re
a good team, so we’ll get
back to playing like we’re
capable.”
Josh Donaldson hit a
three-run homer to highlight a four-run fourth
after hitting a two-run
homer in Tuesday night’s
7-3 victory. The Reds lost
for the fifth time in seven
games and seventh in the
last 11.
Bailey (4-6) faced just
two over the minimum
through three innings,
and then ran into trouble
in the fourth. He struck
out seven and walked two
in six innings in losing
his second straight decision.
Oakland
got
four
straight hits to start the
fourth, taking a 1-0 lead
on Moss’ double. Jed
Lowrie was nearly caught
at third by a sprinting
Yoenis Cespedes, who
held up as Lowrie ran
home but missed the bag
before reaching back to
touch the plate as catcher
Mesoraco lost the ball.
“They had the two
ground balls that went
through, then the double and it happened so
walked one. David Berg
pitched the ninth.
Filia produced runs with
a sacrifice fly, squeeze
bunt and two base hits
as the Bruins collected 12
hits and scored their most
runs in 18 games.
“To beat us like they
did today, and to do what
they did to our pitching
staff, which I think is one
of the best in the nation,”
Bulldogs right fielder
Hunter Renfroe said, “we
didn’t do what we were
supposed to do. We didn’t
put up run support like
we should have.”
Bulldogs starter Luis
Pollorena (6-4) lasted one
inning. Jonathan Holder,
the Bulldogs’ closer, came
on with one out in the
fourth inning and went
the rest of the way.
UCLA allowed four
runs in five games to set
a CWS record for fewest
in the metal-bat era that
started in 1974.
The Bruins’ .227 bat-
quick,” Bailey said. “They
were all on breaking balls,
but were just up a little.
Those aren’t bad pitches
early in the count. Maybe
I should have thrown the
(heck) out of my fastball.
But they’re a good hitting team, with a good
approach at the plate.
They grind out at-bats.”
Derrick Robinson and
Joey Votto pulled off a
double steal in the first
to put runners on second
and third, but Cincinnati
missed more chances a
day after stranding 11
baserunners.
The Reds are scheduled
to bring second baseman
Brandon Phillips back
from the paternity list
Friday at Texas.
“At least we’ll have
Brandon back and he
adds to the lineup,” Baker
said.
Baker even had his
team hit an abbreviated
batting practice after
the night game because,
“This park plays as different day and night as anywhere in the big leagues.”
The tricky sun early
and shadows late can be
problematic. Donaldson
experienced the glaring sun when the third
baseman lost the ball on
Paul’s foul popup in the
fourth.
But Griffin kept things
tricky for the Reds himself, mixing his pitches
and pounding the zone.
“He did an excellent
job today and worked the
zone,” Donaldson said.
“He made some really
good hitters over there
step back and rethink
their approach a little
bit.”
Griffin had been 0-3 in
five starts since winning
at Houston on May 25.
The shaggy-haired righthander was thrilled that
nobody was warming up
in the ninth, leaving it all
up to him.
“I was trying not to
think about it because I
was hoping I wasn’t going
to blow it,” Griffin said.
“Obviously, I get a little
extra adrenaline going
there.”
ting average in the CWS
also was the lowest since
teams went away from
wood bats. The Bruins’ 19
runs in five games were
the fewest by a champion
since the CWS went to
eight teams in 1950.
After Arizona’s title
last year, the Pac-12 has
now won two straight and
has 17 in all in baseball,
most of any conference.
Mississippi State was
playing for its first national title in a team sport
and was the sixth straight
Southeastern Conference
team to make it to the
finals.
UCLA sweeps Miss. State for CWS title
AP Sports Writer
OMAHA, Neb. (AP)
— UCLA finally can add
baseball to its long list of
national championships.
The Bruins relied on
pitching and defense to
get them in position to
win a title, and Tuesday
night the offense finally
showed up. Their 8-0
victory over Mississippi
State gave them a twogame sweep in the College
World Series finals.
“I don’t think any of
the experts thought we’d
be here at this stage,
and we did it the right
way,” coach John Savage
said. “We pitched, we
defended, we had quality offense, opportunistic
offense for sure, and at
the end of the day we outlasted everybody.”
Eric Filia drove in a
career-high five runs,
Nick Vander Tuig limited
Mississippi State to five
hits in eight innings, and
UCLA (49-17) increased
its NCAA-record number
of national championships in team sports to
109.
“They had a great year,”
Savage said of his players,
“and it was one of those
situations where it was
our time.”
Adam Plutko, the
Bruins’ No. 1 starter, was
chosen the CWS Most
Outstanding Player. He
beat LSU in the Bruins’
first game and was the
winner in Game 1 of the
finals. He allowed two
runs in 13 innings.
Vander Tuig held off the
Bulldogs (51-20) when
they threatened in the
fourth, fifth and eighth
innings and recorded his
fourth win in the NCAA
tournament. Vander Tuig
(14-4) struck out six and

Deen told Lauer she could only

NEW YORK (AP) — Paula
Deen dissolved into tears during a “Today” show interview
Wednesday about her admission
that she used a racial slur in the

they’ve regretted should pick up a

The celebrity chef, who had

the controversy that began with
her own deposition in a lawsuit.
Deen has been dropped by the

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft has
released an update to Windows 8, aiming to
address some of the gripes people have with the
latest version of the company’s flagship operating
system.
The company made a preview of Windows 8.1
available for free as a download on Wednesday.
At an event Wednesday in San Francisco,
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer acknowledged that
the company pushed hard to get people to adopt
a new tile-based user interface. Microsoft is now
back-pedaling, making it easier to reach and use
the older “desktop” interface.

Don Bryant spoke.
“The plan check fee is
for the additional expense

explained Bryant. “I didn’t
take this as a volunteer.”
Although Ravnum did
not disagree with the purpose of the fee, he stated
he felt it was excessive.
“My statement is, it’s

“It’s something to me,
considering the amount

that it takes over the next

Bryant. “It’s nothing as far
as pay for what is being
done.”
The mayor pointed out
that regardless of how,
the building inspector will
have to be paid for his services, one way or another.
“We are not going to get
a building inspector for
free around here. We are
not going to get one that
you don’t pay something,”
said McGaffe. “If you all

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
June 27, 2013:
This year you have the unique
opportunity to let your mind grow past
preconceived concepts. By the end the
year, you will note how fundamental
judgments can limit your thoughts. You
will relate to others better, and you
also will experience more success and
inner content. If you are single, someone quite bohemian could enter your
life and become the flame that warms
and nurtures you. If you are attached,
you will experience more compassion between you and your significant
other. PISCES is as emotional as you
are.
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 You might opt to say less
and stay more centered as of late.
Perhaps the best action to take is
to be receptive to others’ inquiries.
Though it is not natural for you to
assume a passive role, it might be
best. Understanding will evolve as a
result. Tonight: Get some extra R and
R.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH Domestic matters could be
problematic right now. You might even
get into a quarrel with a family member
if you are not careful. You seem to be
more rigid than you have been in the
past. Be ready to make a kind gesture
in order to avoid a conflict. Tonight:
Happy at home.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH Someone might be
demanding more than you want to
give. Realize what is driving you in
certain areas of your life. Know what is
going on within your circle of friends.
Remember that you can’t control anyone besides yourself — nor should
you want to. Tonight: Your treat.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHH You might be touched by
recent exchanges between you and
a loved one. Know that this feeling
is allowing a suppressed emotion to
emerge. You’ll need to deal with those
feelings in order to prevent a strong
reaction from occurring. Tonight: Let
your imagination lead the way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH You would be well-advised
to relate to key individuals directly.
Communication continues to be out of
sync for you, and others as well. Tap
into your creativity, and allow more
space to confirm what you have just
heard. Tonight: Dinner with a favorite
person at a favorite place.
Horoscope
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You could be a lot more
reflective than you have been in a
while. Your wheels might be spinning in order to ensure that you have
the responses you’ll need when it is
impossible to make a prediction. Give
up a need for control, and go with the
flow. Tonight: Defer to a partner.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Focus on a recent accomplishment. You often use flattery to
get what you want. Be careful, as you
won’t know what to do when someone
reverses your technique and uses it
on you. Worse yet, you might not even
notice that it’s happening. Tonight: Get
the job done.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You might be confronted
with a pressing issue. Understand that
you’ll be able to pass right through
it, no matter how many hurdles you
already might have jumped over. A
new friend could warm the cockles of
your heart in the interim. Accept this
with grace. Tonight: Have fun
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You will see life with more
openness because of the implications
in a special relationship. The result of
feeling so good in the company of this
person could trigger more openness.
Make a point to learn more about why
people do certain things. Tonight:
Togetherness is the theme.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You’ll find the right words
to compliment someone — be sure to
let him or her know how sincere you
are. A compromise with a loved one
seems inevitable. You also are able
to identify with others, which will make
you extremely popular. Tonight: At a
favorite spot.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH You could be overthinking
a risk, and you might not be sure of
which way to go. Realize that a decision needs to be made, but doing it
to please someone else might not be
enough. Value this person’s feedback,
but know that ultimately, the decision
will be yours. Tonight: Your treat.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH Be aware of what is happening beyond the obvious. Someone
who is important to your daily life might
be beaming, and his or her happiness will be contagious. Open up to
this positive energy. You might have
a sense of what is about to occur.
Tonight: The world is your oyster.
