TODAY’S QUOTE
‘Not to be absolutely cer-tain is, I think, one of the essential things in rational-ity.’ — Bertrand Russel
NEWS FROM
AROUND
THE NATION
Knox in email: ‘I
didn’t kill Meredith’FLORENCE, Italy —
Amanda Knox declared her innocence in her roommate’s 2007 murder in a highly unusual email Tuesday to the Italian court hearing the case against her. The former U.S. exchange student also said she was staying away from the trial out of fear of being wrongly convicted.
“I didn’t kill. I didn’t rape. I didn’t rob. I didn’t plot. I didn’t instigate. I didn’t kill Meredith,” Knox wrote.
Knox, now 26, spent four years in jail in Italy. She was permitted to return to the United States in 2011 after she was acquitted on appeal — a decision overturned in March by Italy’s highest court, which sent it back for a second appeals trial.
Prosecutors are seeking a 26-year sentence against both Knox and Rafael Sollecito for the murder, and an addi-tional year added to Knox’s three-year slander conviction — which stands — for wrongly accusing a bar owner of the murder. Prosecutors say the slander amounts to an aggra-vating circumstance, claiming that Knox lied to deflect inves-tigators’ attention from her.
The trial continues Jan. 9 with summations by Sollecito’s defense, followed by rebuttals by both sides the next day. Nencini said the court would deliberate on Jan. 15.
Jury weighs ex-BP
engineers caseNEW ORELANS — A
jury has returned to a New Orleans courthouse for a second day of deliberations in the trial of a former BP engineer charged with trying to obstruct a federal probe of the company’s 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Jurors deliberated for roughly 90 minutes Monday after hearing closing argu-ments by Justice Department prosecutors and a lawyer for Kurt Mix, who is charged with two counts of obstruction of justice. Their deliberations resumed Tuesday morning.
Prosecutors claim Mix was trying to destroy evidence when he deleted hundreds of text messages to and from a supervisor and a BP contrac-tor. Mix’s lawyers said their client didn’t hide anything from a grand jury that was investigating the spill.
Big Sur, Calif. fire
destroys 15 homesBIG SUR — A wildfire burn-
ing Monday in the Big Sur area of California destroyed at least 15 homes and forced about 100 people to evacuate as it chewed through dry vegetation on its way toward the ocean. No injuries were reported.
The fire burned about 500 acres in the Pfeiffer Ridge area of Los Padres National Forest near state Highway 1, with 0 percent containment, Los Padres National Forest spokes-man Andrew Madsen said.
Madsen said the fire destroyed the home of Big Sur Fire Chief Martha Karstens.
“She left thinking that she was going to go protect other people’s homes,” Madsen said, “and it turns out that her own home has been consumed.”
Officials were hopeful that they could contain the blaze this week.
Nothing suspicious
found at HarvardCAMBRIDGE — Four build-
ings on Harvard University’s campus were evacuated Monday after police received an email claiming that explo-sive devices may have been hidden inside, but after hours of searches and disruptions to final exams, no suspicious devices were found.
The buildings were evacu-ated and access to Harvard Yard was restricted after the email was received at about 8:40 a.m. Monday, shortly before students were set to begin final exams.
In a statement to the Harvard community, Harvard Executive Vice President Katie Lapp said that the build-ings were evacuated “out of an abundance of caution” and that activities at the Ivy League school in Cambridge were returning to normal.
5 THINGS TO KNOW TODAY IN FLORIDA

4. Ocala Trauma fight now at DOH
OCALA — More than a year after a disputed trauma center opened at Ocala Regional Medical Center, the Florida Department of Health has sent the legal battle to an administrative law judge. UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville last December challenged the trauma cen-ter’s openingn, arguing that the DOH did not follow the proper legal process. The department dismissed that challenge, but its decision was later reversed by the 1st District Court of Appeal.
5. Targeting inter-county criminals
JACKSONVILLE — A bill filed Monday would make it a felony offense to cross county lines to commit crimes such as sexual bat-tery, burglary, kidnapping or trafficking in controlled sub-stances. Charles McBurney, R-Jacksonville, proposed the measure, which would apply when crimes are committed in counties other than where the perpetrators live. The mea-sure would take effect Oct. 1.
3. Lawmakers take
on flood insuranceCLEARWATER — Two
Tampa Bay-area legisla-tors said Tuesday they are proposing a bill to give hom-eowners relief from rising flood insurance premiums. State Sen. Jeff Brandes and Rep. Larry Ahern said that the bill would allow private insur-ance companies to offer flood insurance policies to Florida homeowners. About 1.1 mil-lion homeowners nationwide have received taxpayer-sub-sidized rates and the govern-ment has financed about 60 percent of losses.
2. Med. marijuana
on tight deadlineTALLAHASSEE — Those
in favor of constitutionalizing medical marijuana have until Feb. 1 to gather 683,189 voter signatures. As of Tuesday, 162,866 signatures had been certified. Attorney John Morgan says more than 600,000 petitions have been gathered. Now it’s a matter of having those signatures verified. Then it’s up to the Supreme Court to approve ballot summary language that could let voters decide whether to allow marijuana use for medical reasons.
1. Zimmerman’s
attorney investigatedORLANDO — The attor-
ney who helped get George Zimmerman acquitted of mur-der charges is being inves-tigated by the Florida Bar after a complaint was filed against him. Spokeswoman Francine Walker said in an email Tuesday that there was a pending complaint against Mark O’Mara regarding his representation of Zimmerman. A complaint doesn’t neces-sarily lead to discipline. Of more than 7,000 complaint files opened this year, roughly 200 have led to discipline.

Connie Anderson, a Columbia Bank corporate trainer and member of the Summers Elementary School Advisory Council, said the donation strength-ens community bonds.
“This donation lets not only the school, but the community know that we’re willing to give back and help those that are less fortunate in the com-munity,” she said.
Jennifer Freeman, the Summers Elementary
School PTO president-elect for 2014-2015, said Brown’s work has laid a foundation for the program.
“Our plans are to keep this program up, because these children do need a Christmas,” she said.
Stanton said the gifts will provide the children with items they both need and want.
“These donations pro-vide a Christmas for these students that they may not get,” Stanton said. “It’s fun-damentally providing some of the basics we see that some of them may lack, as well as some toys.”

Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Robert Holloway encouraged par-ents to be good role models for their children and use their seat belts when trav-eling, but also noted the importance of not texting while driving.
Holloway said four priori-ties for safe holiday driving include: Wear a seat belt, don’t drink and drive; don’t text and drive; and remain focused.
During the press con-ference traffic safety team members also promoted the 16th Annual Recipes For the Road booklet, which con-tained non-alcoholic drink recipes.

This morning I heard myself singing, “Deep in December it’s nice to remember.”
That’s from a song in “The Fantasticks,” a musical I never saw and don’t care to recall. It was stuck on replay in my head the way some songs seem to get stuck there. Don’t ask me why.
I was just glad it wasn’t “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth” or “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” I get stuck on them sometimes, too.
Those songs aren’t high on my Christmas play list. I’d prefer to get stuck on Handel’s “Messiah” or “O Holy Night” or even “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” But the older I get the more I find my mind has a mind of its own.
There I was, loading the dishwasher, singing “Deep in December” when suddenly I remembered: Christmas is a time for remembering.
One of my favorite holiday tradi-tions is to ask friends or family or strangers in line at the post office, “What’s your favorite Christmas memory?” The answers often tell me more about the person than I could learn in an hour-long inter-view.
See for yourself. Ask someone that question. But be prepared for them to ask you in return.
What’s my favorite Christmas memory? Thanks for asking. For me, it’s not one, but a lifetime col-lection. For example: Christmas Eve, when I was 3, my dad point-ed to the sky and said, “Look. That’s the Star of Bethlehem.” I saw it that moment and every
Christmas since, even if I can’t see the sky.
-- When I was 10, my family fell on hard times, harder than our usual, so Santa wouldn’t make it to our house until spring. But some good people from church brought us a ham and cookies and a tree with colored lights. After they left, my mother said, “Life is a bank. Sometimes you give, sometimes you take. It’s all the same bank. Just remember how it feels to take, because one day you will do the giving.”
-- When I was pregnant with my first child, I lay awake Christmas Eve, wanting to hold him, not in my belly, but in my arms. I couldn’t imagine it any more than I could imagine riding a donkey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. But I believed in the hope of it. And four weeks later, it came true.
-- My youngest was 7 when we spent Christmas at a cabin in the mountains. He asked Santa for a chance to see snow fall, and he got it. He also managed to lock the keys in the car, forcing his dad to jog three miles in the snow back to the cabin for a spare set of keys.
-- A few weeks before my first husband lost a long battle with
cancer, we celebrated his 54th birthday on Christmas Eve with our three children. I remember their laughter, their faces, their eyes, how they shined. I wish you could’ve seen them. It was not our merriest Christmas, but I never knew one more holy.
-- My final favorite Christmas memory is this: After years as a widow, I remarried and moved with my new husband to Las Vegas. Christmas in the desert was different from those I knew in the mountains of the Carolinas, or on the coast of California. But the kids came to visit and we made the best of it.
Then one night in January, it snowed. My husband and I put on every article of clothing we owned and sat out by a palm tree catch-ing snowflakes on our tongues. It wasn’t Christmas on the calendar. But it felt like it.
Christmas is a time for singing songs, good or bad, for seeing stars and tasting snowflakes and believing in hope. Sometimes you give, sometimes you take. But it’s always a time to be thankful, whether you get what you want or have to jog three miles in the snow. It doesn’t have to be merry to be holy. It can happen any day, any time of year. Because more than a date on a calendar, Christmas is a feeling somewhere in the soul.
Here’s wishing you and yours a Christmas to remember.
Thanks to you, families who might otherwise have gone without will have a real Christmas dinner this year.
Lake City Reporter readers pitched in to contribute more than half a ton of non-perishable food items to the paper’s sixth annual Community Food Drive.
The drive, held from Dec. 2-13, was brief by design, the aim being to help tide folks over between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Food banks are usually inun-dated by late November, only to see contri-butions fall sharply before Christmas.
Still, in less than two weeks you gave more than 1,200 lbs. of much-needed nour-ishment.
All proceeds were sent to Florida Gateway Food Bank for distribution to local families.
We thank you on their behalf.
There are bad ideas and then there are BAD ideas. The difference of course is in the potential for harm.
A recent prime example of the latter can be found in Fisher-Price’s decision to begin exposing America’s babies to the wonder of technology within weeks of enter-ing the world. What obviously seemed like a good idea at the time for one of the nation’s most respect-ed manufacturers of educational toys is generating more than a little concern among those who think the rush to technological indoctrination has gone too far.
The company, a subsidiary of toy giant Mattel, is providing parents the opportunity to begin familiariz-ing their newborns with the earliest training possible in life’s increas-ingly necessary functions by attach-ing iPads or similar modern mar-vels to their bouncy seats. Another company, CTA Digital, is offering the same thing in a potty chair. The bouncy seats, originally designed to strengthen legs before learning to walk, will now allow the babies to experience the wonders of apps as they bob happily along. In fact, the seats are labeled the “Newborn -to-Toddler Apptivity Seat.” The potty trainer permits a toddler to while away the experience by tapping on a screen.
While I don’t remember my own experience with the potty trainer
except I’m sure anything that would have distracted me from the busi-ness at hand while using it would have been welcomed. I do recall being told that my older sister who had decided to harass me while I was so engaged one day got too close and paid the consequence. Perhaps that wouldn’t have hap-pened had I been exposed to a mar-velous magical touch me screen on my chair.
As for my own kids, it also might have eliminated standing around encouragingly to view the results and when they were positive clapping loudly in praise of a job well done.
Seriously, is there any doubt in one’s mind that we have gone too far in our rush to reach global supe-riority in technology? The growing up experience already includes a dubious reliance far too much on an ability to cut corners in learning by using data packed devices that do everything for us from spelling to calculating our math to shouting out solutions to problems.
Along the way millions of our
children and grandchildren (in my case) spend hour upon hour staring at screens full of violence where they receive points for how many kills they register in an addictive ritual.
For a long time Fisher-Price has been a recognized, respected leader in toys that permit the development of motor and mental skills-often mar-velous wooden and well made plastic teaching tools that also enhance social learning. With that reputation in mind, it is marketing the latest venture as “a grow-with-me seat for babies that’s soothing, entertaining, has a touch of technology, too.”
The clamor against the idea how-ever from the child development experts is considerable.
Dr. Victor Strausburger, a pedi-atric professor at the University of New Mexico’s Medical School, posed this question in an interview with the Washington Post. “Does anyone out there think the kids need more screen time,” he asked, calling it a “terrible idea.”
Obviously there is no way in this new culture that children can fail to be exposed to the technological revolution, even from an early age. Kids operate remote controls and other devices almost as toddlers. They learn quickly. But deliberately turning them into wonks as babies seems a fearful prospect we might seriously regret.

Turkey for everyoneThe Lake City Lions Club donated enough food to Westside Elementary School to help 10 families celebrate Christmas dinner. Food included a one turkey for every family, as well as sides. “We are very appreciative of the Lions Club donation. It will go to help make a bright Christmas for some of our fami-lies,” said Westside Elementary School principal Cherie Hill. (From left: Lions Club member Melvin Jones, principal Cherie Hill, Lions Club member Tim Carson, Westside guidance counselor Cherisse Higgs, Westside assistant principal Janice Camp and Lions Club member Billy Dow.)
Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder, known simply as “TMJ Disorder”, is a fairly common and very painful condition affecting our joint of mastication. This joint is very flexible and allows us to do things like talk, chew, and yawn. Muscles surrounding the joint control the smooth movement the jaw to open or close the mouth. Between the surfaces of the joint sits a smooth cartilage disc enabling our mandible (jaw bone) to glide across or rotate against our skull, near our temples. In order to locate the joint, place your finger about one half inch in front of your ear and open and close your mouth.
TMJ pain can occur suddenly without cause, or as a result of repetitive or acute trauma. You don’t have to be a boxer to get TMJ. You can get it if you chew too much gum, or if you get in a car accident. Or, you can simply wake up one morning being unable to open or close your mouth. Muscle irritation, joint immobility, or disc diplacement can create a variety of symptoms, the most significant of which is pain, followed secondly by limita-tion of motion. TMJ can be accompanied by jaw clicking or popping, freezing of the joint, headache, neck pain, earache, loss of appetite, or misalignment of teeth.
A good physical therapist can assist you with your TMJ problems through a variety of proven techniques. A new treatment option, referred to as “cold laser” has been shown to be effective in decreas-ing inflammation of the TMJ structures, allowing the jaw to functiown as designed. If you suffer from these symptoms, give us a call. We can help you.

Natural cure for holiday headaches
Dear Pharmacist: I’m prone to tension head-aches, but during the holidays, they’re constant. I take ibuprofen and some-times hydrocodone. Can you help me? — J.R., San Jose, California
Answer: Tension head-aches are the most com-mon type of headache. Millions of people get them. The trigger could be an argument, poor pos-ture, lack of sleep, over-working yourself, chronic pain, tight muscles, eye-strain, skipping a meal or grinding your teeth. One main reason is muscle tightness.
An occasional tension headache is no big deal, but if they’re “chronic,” defined by more than 15/month for 3 months solid, I can see why you take that medicine!
Termed CTTH, short for chronic tension-type headaches, these can cause depression, even if you are a happy-go-lucky person. While painful, these headaches differ form migraines because they don’t have the nau-sea, halo or any type of aura. This makes them much easier to manage as compared to migraines where you have to dis-cover the “migrenade” and eliminate it. The term “migrenade” is my word for a trigger that you eat, inhale or create that goes off in your body like a grenade, causing your migraine. There are no real “migrenades” in CTTH so you can usually eliminate or at least man-age these much quicker. The reduction of stress or ending an unhappy rela-tionship can help. Here are some supplements that may help you become headache free:
Rhodiola: Perfect for people with a lot of mental stress, emotional conflict or anxiety. As you know, that can cause tension headaches. Because rho-diola removes ammonia and lactic acid from your blood, it could help with muscle fatigue. Shoot for about 100mg per day, taken anytime before lunch as it may be slightly stimulating.
Magnesium: Simple solution for tight muscles, a common trigger for CTTH. Magnesium relax-es your muscles. If you read my Drug Mugger book, over 200 prescrip-tion medications mug it from your body leaving you at risk for muscle aches, migraines, depres-sion, high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. Some forms of magne-sium will give you diar-rhea. Choose high-quality brands.
Arnica Cream: You can buy this at health food stores, it helps soothe muscle aches and relax tight muscles. When the ingredients found in this beautiful flower extract get into your cells, they temporarily shut down a metabolic path-way called NF Kappa B, (NFκB) which spills nasty pain-causing chemicals (termed “cytokines”). You can have your massage therapist rub it on too.
Hops: Known also as Humulus lupulus, this herb can reduce hista-mine levels, a compound (better termed a “cyto-kine”) that is associated
with headaches. Hops also helps you to fall asleep, and we know insomnia is a trigger for CTTH (and migraines). When I say hops, I mean the supple-ment form or tea, not beer! Hops is known as a flavoring agent in beer.
I offer natural and pharmaceutical treatment options for dozens of types of headaches in my new book, “Headache Free” available in January. See my website for details www.DearPharmacist.com
GAINESVILLE — For people with neurological disorders who use deep brain stimulators, a low bat-tery can mean the return of mentally and physi-cally crippling symptoms. Fortunately for some of these people, now there’s an app to assist with that.
In fact, help is now just a smartphone away. The UF Health Center for Movement Disorders and Neurorestoration has developed an iPhone and Android app for patients who use deep brain stimu-lators, or DBS. The app, released this month, enables clinicians and patients to measure the battery life left in their DBS devices. This is good news for the more than 100,000 people worldwide with implanted deep brain stimulators.
“During the past several years, we have implant-ed nearly 1,000 of these devices at UF Heath and have studied short and long-term benefits and side effects,” explained the center’s co-director, Michael S. Okun, M.D. “In
some cases, battery deple-tion could lead to rebound of motor symptoms like tremor or dystonia, but in other neuropsychiatric conditions, it could lead to suicide attempts or other devastating consequenc-es.”
Okun, University of Florida medical stu-dent Mike Montuno and area high school student Andrew Kohner studied the relationship between battery depletion and symptom recurrence as part of a summer research project. Their work culminated in a paper published online in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal. UF medical stu-dent Kaihan Fakhar also published a follow-up paper on the site propos-ing an algorithm to avoid the DBS battery-related issue.
“We wanted to develop a simple tool and put it in the hands of physicians and patients,” Okun said. “During a doctor’s visit, the clinician can show the patient which are the simulation set-tings on the device. In
less than a minute, they can check the battery lev-els and schedule a pre-emptive battery change, if necessary, before re-emergence of bothersome and potentially devastat-ing symptoms.”
The new app provides patients and their families with a new level of comfort and ease.
“I can get up-to-date information on the battery
life for Austin, anytime and anywhere,” said Michele Streitmatter, mother of Austin Streitmatter, a patient of Okun’s with dystonia. “I don’t have to worry about where we are or interrupt his schedule; I will know exactly when I need to make arrange-ments. This will give Austin a sense of control over his dystonia, which means the world to us.”

CHS falls in close game at Lincoln
From staff reports
Columbia High’s soccer team fell 1-0 against Lincoln High on the road Monday, but according to head coach Trevor Tyler it was one of the better games the Tigers have played.
Lincoln is a perennial favorite on the soccer field and the Tigers were in the game until late in the sec-ond half.
“We played well,” Tyler said. “Caleb Carswell has been a big addition to our team from football. The midfield played really well, and we just made a mistake on a corner kick late. We were doing good things up top as well.”
Tyler noted that the Tigers had more than 12 shots on goal.
“It’s more than we’ve had lately,” Tyler said. “We’re not just in games now, but we’re in them with a chance to win.”
Columbia is 1-8-1 head-ing into the holidays. The Tigers will return to action at 6 p.m. against Leon High in Tallahassee.

All-American added
to Winston’s resume
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
NEW YORK — A tack-le-machine linebacker, a tackle-busting running back and one of the most disruptive defensive tack-les in the country made return appearances on The Associated Press All-America team.
Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley, Arizona running back Ka’Deem Carey and Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton were selected to the first team for the second straight season.
The All-America teams were released Tuesday and selected by a panel of AP college football poll voters.
Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan made the second team, along with offensive tack-le Cameron Erving. The Seminoles had six players on the three teams, the most of any school.
Heisman Trophy win-ner Jameis Winston from Florida State added All-American to his resume after a spectacular redshirt freshman season. Heisman finalists Andre Williams from Boston College and Northern Illinois’ Jordan Lynch also made the first
team. Williams joins Carey in the backfield and Lynch, the dual-threat quarter-back, was chosen as an all-purpose player.
Carey and Williams are set to compete on the same field this bowl season when Arizona and Boston College meet in the Advocare V100 Bowl in Shreveport, La., on Dec. 31. It will mark the first time since the 1977 Rose Bowl that two players selected first-team AP All-America at running back then faced off in a bowl. That game featured Michigan’s Rob Lytle and Southern California’s Ricky Bell.
Mosley, a senior, was the leading tackler for a defense that ranked fifth in the country in yards allowed per game. Sutton,
a senior, was named Pac-12 defensive player of the year for the season straight season.
Winston, a landslide Heisman winner last week, is joined on the first team by three Florida State teammates — cen-ter Bryan Stork, kicker Roberto Aguayo and cor-nerback Lamarcus Joyner — to give the top-ranked Seminoles more than any other school.
No. 2 Auburn, which plays Florida State on Jan. 6 in the BCS championship game in Pasadena, Calif., placed Heisman finalists Tre’ Mason on the second team at running back and offensive lineman Reese Dismukes and Gregory Robinson on the third team.
Lake City’s Jernigan named to second team.

DEAR ABBY: A couple of years ago, my husband informed me that he likes to dress in women’s cloth-ing. Since then he has read books, is seeing a coun-selor, and the reality is, he is transgender. He now wears his hair long and has long fingernails.
I have tried to be under-standing and have gone places with him when he is dressed as a woman. He has met other transgender people who have either made the full transition or are content without it. I allow my husband time with these new friends without me. I did feel weird that he was clothes shop-ping and going to movies with his new friends.
I have reconciled with these activities and I’m OK with them so far. But I have told him that if he decides to change his gender to female, I will not be able to be married to him. He’s on hormones at the moment and has told me he plans to start testosterone blockers.
I love him, Abby, but NOT the woman side of him. Am I unreasonable to put a boundary on my mar-riage? He thinks if he slow-ly eases me into the idea that it will be OK. He says I am his “world” and I should love him no matter what gender he is. Am I being selfish? — SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTHWEST
DEAR SOMEWHERE: You appear to be a loving and accepting wife. You may
be your husband’s world, but his world is changing -- and along with it, so is yours. It is not selfish to take care of yourself. You did not enter your marriage to be part-nered with another woman, and you should not be made to feel guilty remaining with one if it’s not what you want. Some spouses stay together; others just can’t.
If you haven’t heard of the Straight Spouse Network, it is a confidential support network of current or for-mer heterosexual spouses or partners of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender mates. It was founded in 1991, and its mission is to help straight spouses or partners cope with coming-out issues, and help mixed-orientation couples and their children build bridges of understanding. To learn more about it and find a sup-port group near you, visit www.straightspouse.org.
DEAR ABBY: I have always had an extremely close relationship with my little sister. Last year, I graduated from high school and left for univer-sity. It was hard for both of us. My college is an hour away from where my fam-
ily lives, so even though I live on campus, I try to come home whenever I can to visit on weekends.
Lately it seems like my little sister has emotionally distanced herself from me. She doesn’t confide in me anymore, shows little inter-est in my life, and it has gotten to the point where she barely acknowledges me in public. I have tried talking to her about it and telling her how much it hurts me, but she tells me I’m overreacting and to stop being stupid.
My mom says she does this with everyone and that this is typical for a 14-year-old teenager, but it breaks my heart to be so excluded from her life. Is this just a phase I have to learn to deal with and accept? What should I do? — SAD BIG SISTER IN SWITZERLAND
DEAR BIG SISTER: Your sister is growing up, and part of that process means becoming an indi-vidual. Right now she is try-ing to figure out who she is, apart from the family she loves – including you. I’m sure she isn’t intention-ally trying to hurt your feelings. Because you were so close, she may have felt abandoned when you left for college. Your mother is right about this. Let your sister evolve. She’ll be back. Accept it for now.

HOROSCOPES
DEAR ABBY
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do something nice for someone going through a tough time. Taking a stance and speak-ing up about your beliefs, theories and concerns will put you in the limelight and create a stir in your community or amongst your friends. ★★
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make travel plans or visit friends or rel-atives you don’t get to see often. Talk over changes you want to make within an important relationship. Firm up on any agreement you have regarding legal or contractual connota-tions. ★★★★
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep your secrets locked up tight. An impulsive move due to an emotional situation will leave you in a questionable position. Prepare to make a decision that will alter who you spend time with between now and the end of the year. ★★★
CANCER (June 21-July 22): A little rest will do you good. Continually trying to make everything perfect for others will take its toll on you emotionally, mentally and physically. Consider booking a mas-sage or a day at the spa. Romance will ease stress. ★★★
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do what’s expected of you and keep moving. Hook up with friends or shop for special items that will make your life easier or more comfortable. Don’t rely on others when it’s up to you to make things happen. ★★★
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t jump to con-clusions or make a hasty move. Focus on getting things done and spending time with the people you love the most. Picking up a new outfit or updating your look will help boost your confidence. ★★★★
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Emotional problems will surface if you are deal-ing with children or any-one that depends on you. Look for answers that will help improve the dynamic of any relationship you feel is worthwhile. Avoid excess and improve your health. ★★
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do something unique if you plan to entertain and make an impression on your guests. A change to the way you live will enhance your life and give you plenty to look forward to. Romance will
pay off. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): Make chang-es at home that will bright-en your environment. More activity will motivate you to expand your interests. Consider how you want to ring in the New Year and make plans that include the people you enjoy being around the most. ★★★
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Listen to what’s being said, but don’t take offense. Everyone is entitled to his or her opin-ion. Anger is a waste of time and constructive criti-cism, although not favored, can be of help in the not-too-distant future. ★★★
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Surround yourself with people who inspire you. Once you get started in a direction that allows you to utilize the things you do best, you will be unstoppable. A change of plans will end up being to your benefit. Enjoy the moment. ★★★
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Go out and hustle to get all the little things done that have been nagging at you. A chance to spend time with some-one you love to be around should be planned for the evening hours. A commit-ment can and should be made. ★★★★★
