SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Whatever decisions you’re faced
with this week, rely on your strong
Aries instincts, and base them on
your honest feelings, not necessarily
on what others might expect you to
do.
AMBER WAVES
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) More
fi ne-tuning might be in order before
you can be absolutely certain that
you’re on the right track. Someone
close to you might off er to help. Th e
weekend favors family get-togethers.
by Jeff Pickering
THE SPATS
LAFF-A-DAY
TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) Your
sensitive Taurean spirit is pained by
what you feel is an unwarranted at-
tack by a miff ed colleague. But your
sensible self should see it as proof
that you must be doing something
right.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Th e
week continues to be a balancing act
‘twixt dreaming and doing. But by
week’s end, you should have a much
better idea of what you actually plan
to do and how you plan to do it.
FLASHBACK
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Chang-
ing your plans can be risky, but it can
also be a necessary move. Recheck
your facts before you act. Tense
encounters should ease by mid-
week, and all should be well by the
weekend.
SUPER CROSSWORD: XXXXX
by Mick Harper
1. Who had a hit with
“Down in the Boon-
docks”?
2. Name the two

“You are my whole,
babe, My heart and
my soul, babe. I’d
have nothing to show,
babe, If you should go
away.”
SUDOKU
DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Congratulations. Your good
intentions are fi nally recognized,
and long-overdue appreciation
should follow. Keep working toward
improvements wherever you think
they’re necessary.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 2) Try to look at your options
without prejudging any of them.
Learn the facts, and then make your
assessments. Spend the weekend
enjoying fi lms, plays and musical
events.
ANSWERS
1. Billy Joe Royal in
1965. He cut a demo
of the Joe South song
and netted a record-
ing contract, using the
demo as the released
version.
2. Tom Petty and Tom
Leadon, in 1970. Th e
band, the forerunner
to Tom Petty and
the Heartbreakers,
reformed in 2007.
3. Big Bad John (from
the song by Jimmy
Dean in 1961) was 6
foot 6 inches tall, and
245 pounds.
4. Dave Loggins, in
1974.
5. “Which Way You
Goin’ Billy,” by Th e
Poppy Family in
1970. Songwriter
Terry Jacks fi rst wrote
the song as “Which
Way You Goin’
Buddy,” in memory of
his idol Buddy Holly.
He then change it to a
generic Billy when he
saw all the men going
to fi ght in Vietnam
and leaving wives and
girlfriends behind.
CRYPTOQUIP
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) You might still be trying to adjust
to recent changes. But things should
improve considerably as you get to
see some positive results. An uneasy
personal matter calls for more
patience.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Someone might want
to take advantage of the Sagittarian’s
sense of fair play. But before you ride
off to right what you’ve been told is a
wrong, be sure of your facts.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to Jan-
uary 19) You might be surprised to
learn that not everyone agrees with
your ideas. But this can prove to be
a good thing. Go over them and see
where improvements can be made.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-
ruary 18) Aft er taking advice on a
number of matters in recent months,
expect to be called on to return the
gesture. And, by the way, you might
be surprised at who makes the
request.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Reassure everyone concerned that
a change of mind isn’t necessarily a
change of heart. You might still want
to pursue a specifi c goal, but feel a
need to change the way you’ll get
there.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are able to
make room in your heart for others,
and that makes you a very special
person in their lives.
