SALOME’S STARS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
You’re moving from a relatively sta-
ble situation to one that appears to
be laced with perplexity. Be patient.
You’ll eventually get answers to help
clear up the confusion around you.
AMBER WAVES
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A
vexing situation tempts you to rush
to set it all straight. But it’s best to let
things sort themselves out so that
you can get a better picture of the
challenge you’re facing.
by Dave T. Phipps
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Financial matters could create some
confusion, especially with a torrent
of advice pouring in from several
sources. Resist acting on emotion
and wait for the facts to emerge.
THE SPATS
LAFF-A-DAY
FLASHBACK
by Jeff Pickering
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Th at
goal you’ve set is still in sight and is
still in reach. Stay with the course
that you’re on. Making too many
shift s in direction now could create
another set of problems.

OBITUARY POLICY
The Hermiston Herald publishes
paid obituaries. The obituary can

VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Congratulations. You’re making
great progress in sorting out all
that confusion that kept you from
making those important decisions.
You’re on your way now.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) A diffi cult experience begins
to ease. Th at’s the good news. Th e
not-so-good news is a possible
complication that could prolong the
problem awhile longer.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) Your self-confi dence gets
a much-needed big boost as you
start to unsnarl that knotty fi nancial
problem. Expect some help from a
surprising source.
ANSWERS
1. “Free Bird,” at nine
minutes on the album
version. Th e song
oft en ran over 14
minutes in concert.
2. “Lovely Day,”
released in 1977. It’s
thought to be the
longest sustained note
in U.S. Top 40 music.
3. McGuire turned
to contemporary
Christian music,
where he is today. His
1965 “Eve of De-
struction” lyrics have
been updated. Th e
original version was a
rough cut that wasn’t
fi nished.
4. Johnny Mathis, in
1963.
5. “Midnight Confes-
sions,” by the Grass
Roots, in 1968. Th e
lyrics tell of a man’s
love for a married
woman he can’t have,
possibly with a nod
to the Reverend’s love
for Hester Prynne in
Hawthorne’s “Th e
Scarlet Letter,” one
of dozens of such
instances in fi lm and
music.

ing associate and demand some
answers. But be prepared for some
surprises that could lead you to
make a change in some long-stand-
ing plans.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Congratulations.
Any lingering negative aft ereff ects
from that not-so-pleasant workplace
situation are all but gone. It’s time
now to focus on the positive.

grows stronger as you continue to
take more control of your life. Ar-
range for some well-earned fun and
relaxation with someone special.

to take time for yourself so that you

cate a growing presence of people
eager to help you navigate through
the rough seas that might mark your
