It’s said that in the 1600s English women would sometimes wear carrot leaves in their hats in place of flowers
or feathers.
A baby born today has a
Sun in Libra and a Moon in
Aquarius.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Thursday, Sept. 24, 2015:
This year you often find
that you are frustrated or
angry. Learning to express
these feelings at an earlier stage will be important,
when you might feel just
hurt. Otherwise, these feelings could come out at inappropriate times. If you are
single, get to know someone
well before really expressing the depth of your feelings. A person you meet this
year might be emotionally
unavailable. If you are attached, the two of you will
benefit from a lot of one-onone time together. Schedule
more dates to rekindle the
flames that used to exist between you. AQUARIUS has
a way of getting you to join
him or her, no matter how
busy 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)
* * * * Ideas seem to pop
up left and right. Before
you realize it, a work-related matter could arise that
demands your attention.
You might want to take on
a stress-reducing hobby or
activity as well; you will be
better for it in the long run.
Tonight: Where your friends
are.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20)
* * * Your skills allow
you to manage what others can’t. As a result, you’ll
have your hands full. Start a
brainstorming session. You
could hear some extremely
assertive ideas. Diplomacy
is a must, even if you want
to shut down another person’s conversation. Tonight:
A must appearance.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20)
* * * * Keep reaching out
to someone you care about.
You have a lot to share. The
unexpected might force you
to look at the big picture. A
friend could surprise you
with his or her antics. Stay
focused on what is important. Tonight: Where your
friends are is where you
want to be.
CANCER (June 21-July
22)
* * * * You have a tendency to allow a partner or loved
one make important decisions. You also tend to overthink a problem until you
are confused. You might be
too assertive in a conversation, and your temper could
flare. Be careful when handling machinery. Tonight:
Say “yes” to living.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
* * * * Defer to others. You
could feel put off by different people and happenings.
Notice that you could be
suppressing your feelings
without realizing it. Try not
to do damage to yourself. Instead, decide to release your
feelings sooner. Tonight: Go
with someone else’s choice.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
* * * * You might not know
which way to turn. Don’t
take your frustration out
on others, or you will have
an unpredictable situation.
Your fuse could be shorter
than usual. Try to get more
exercise; otherwise, you will
be volatile. Tonight: You’ll
witness an emotional reversal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
* * * * * Allow more impulsiveness to emerge, especially when dealing with a new
friend. Pressure could build
around a domestic matter.
Try not to distance yourself
-- hang in there! Be aware
of anger building as well. Go
for a walk. Tonight: Time to
plan for the weekend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21)
* * * Stay close to home.
You probably will feel as if
you need to pull away from
some difficult situations.
You will handle them on
your time and with wisdom.
A walk will help you relax.
An older person admires the
way you are dealing with a
problem. Tonight: Make it
easy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21)
* * * * You could be dealing with more than your
fair share. Go along with a
spontaneous idea that might
open more doors than you
had anticipated. Be careful
with a boss who could be on
the warpath. Don’t worry.
You know how to bypass a
problem. Tonight: Hang out
with a pal.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19)
* * * * You might be wondering what to do. A power
play is likely to occur with
someone who is very intellectual yet demanding. A
personal issue could present
a problem. News that comes
in from a distance could anger or upset you. Tonight: Be
careful with spending.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18)
* * * * You could be pushing too hard to have someone acknowledge you. Don’t
worry so much. You need to
please yourself first. An unexpected happening will put
a smile on your face. Enjoy
the excitement. Be careful
not to step on anyone’s toes.
Tonight: Indulge a loved one.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20)
* * * Take your time. You
might feel as if someone is
pushing you too hard. Be
careful, because as you will
discover in the next few
weeks, many of your friends,
close associates and loved
ones seem to be much more
irritable than usual. Tonight:
Get some extra R and R.

Annie’s
Mailbox induct new members
DUFFY-ZOHN
by Kathy Mitchell and
Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: I was severely
abused, physically and emotionally, when I was growing
up, mostly by my mother and
older sister. After many years
of therapy, I have turned my
life around and finally am
able to feel like a worthwhile
person.
The trouble is, my older
sister continues to be verbally abusive every time we get
together, which, fortunately,
is not too often. I recently bit
the bullet and tried again,
getting together with her and
my two other sisters. Sure
enough, "Betty" took the opportunity to taunt and yell at
me, and ended up swinging
her fists at me. This resulted
in a PTSD episode for me.
I've finally decided to have
nothing further to do with
Betty, but it leaves me with
feelings of guilt, since she is
my sister. Am I justified in
cutting off our relationship?
— Tired of Being Abused
Dear Tired: Yes. Your
abusive mother obviously left
Betty with some anger issues
of her own, but being related
to someone doesn't mean you
have to put up with abuse.
Ever. You were wise to get
therapy so that you could improve your life. It might help
to ask your therapist to work
on developing coping strategies for situations that could
be triggers for you. Overcoming abuse can be an ongoing
process.
Dear Annie: My 22-yearold son frequently has his
buddies drop over for a visit.
Sometimes I'm a captive audience to their conversations.
These guys (and sometimes
gals) don't seem to understand that they should show
some respect in their conversation due to the age difference between us.
I realize that they frequently use vulgar language
when in the company of their
peers, but am I out of line
asking them to curtail their
potty mouths in my presence?
Not only does it annoy and
sometimes embarrass me,
but also it makes them sound
like illiterate heathens.
I guess they're not out to
impress. — Annoyed Mother
Dear Annoyed: Some parents would find it flattering
that their children's friends
feel
comfortable
enough
around them to speak freely.
But you are right that it is
also disrespectful, treating
you as though your sensitivities don't matter. It is OK for
you to say, "Your language is
making me blush. I would appreciate it if you would keep
it under control." Or you can
speak to your son and ask
him to tell his friends that
they need to be more careful
in your presence.
But you also do not need
to be in the room when they
are visiting. If your son lives
with you, then he should be
able to invite his friends over
without his mother listening
to the conversation. In fact,
their vulgar language may
be their way of getting you to
leave the room. Unless you
are willing to tell your son
that his friends are not welcome, we suggest you absent
yourself as much as possible,
even if it means taking a long
walk or going out to a movie.
It also might be time to encourage your son to find a
place of his own.

Forty Fingers
Forty Fingers to perform
at Brown Grand Theatre
The piano quartet, Forty
Fingers, will perform at 3
p.m, Sunday, Oct. 4, at the
Brown Grand Theatre in
Concordia.
The four musicians will
show their audience that
the combination of 176 piano keys and forty fingers
can produce an entertaining
afternoon that they are calling, “I Love a Piano.”
What started at a local
talent show in 1998 blossomed into invitations to
perform again and again
across the state of Kansas.
With more than 60 concerts
to their credit, the energetic
foursome show concert-goers how the rich sound of
eight hands on two pianos
fills an auditorium.
The four women entertain their audiences with
classical, patriotic, sacred,
ragtime, show tunes and
even some numbers that
are just plain fun! The Concordia concert will debut a
new number for the group,
“Bumble Boogie,” based on
“Flight of the Bumblebee.”
Keeping the energy high,
the quartet will play “The
William Tell Overture” and
“Dry Bones.” Jazz lovers
will enjoy their “Jazz Suite,”
while sports fans will recognize a medley selected just
for them.
Members of Forty Fingers
include Nancy Sipes, piano
instructor in Holton, Verna
Davidson, piano teacher in
Delphos, Tanya Wollenberg,
K-5 music teacher for Remington Grade School, and
Jenna Carver, vocal music
instructor for USD 334 in
Glasco and Miltonvale.

Professor: Drones can
help grow better crops
SUDOKU
Sudoku is a number-placing
puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with
several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9
in the empty squares so that each
row, each column and each 3x3
box contain the same number
only once. The difficulty level of
the Conceptis Sudoku increases
from Monday to Friday.
cial use and also is home to
the nation’s first unmanned
aircraft tech park, Grand
Sky. The president of Grand
Sky, Tom Swoyer Jr., gave
the keynote address.
Precision agriculture has
become a favorite topic at
the expo, partly because
it’s expected to be the No. 1
industry for drone use. McCornack outlined several
possible farming applications, including outfitting
unmanned aircraft with the
robotic capabilities to collect insect samples or set
traps.
“We as researchers have
to wrap our minds around
it,” McCornack said. “For
me, personally, this is not
only about the pests we
have here, but trying to
anticipate what’s going to
happen in the future with
invasive species. Invasive
species
can
completely
change the cropping system.”
McCornack
told
the
group that making an entomologist part of a drone
discussion shows not only
how far the industry has
advanced, but how many
different disciplines it entails.

GRAND FORKS, N.D.
(AP) – A college professor
who studies insects said
Wednesday that unmanned
aircraft can help grow better crops and produce more
food, but it’s going to take
more cooperation among
researchers to pull it off.
Kansas State entomology
professor Brian McCornack
said the use of drones in
agriculture will be an important application because
the world’s population is
projected to increase by 2
billion people in the next 30
years and there will be “the
same sliver of land” to produce food.
“Access to resources is
limited. Not only land, but
water and energy,” McCornack told attendees at
the final day of an annual
unmanned aircraft conference.
The UAS Summit and
Expo began nine years ago
as a regional event but has
expanded to include some
of the top companies in
the industry, including defense contractors Northrup
Grumman and General
Atomics. North Dakota has
one of six sites in the nation

Judge tosses charges
against Galena officials
GALENA, Kan. (AP) – To
settle a private-party lawsuit, a judge has dismissed
felony charges against a
southeast Kansas mayor
and six current or former
city council members who
were accused of misusing
public funds.
The charges were dismissed Monday by judge
A.J. Wachter after the special prosecutor, Jennifer
Brunetti, said in court documents that the charges
weren’t compatible with the
alleged actions of Galena
Mayor Dale Oglesby and the
other officials. Brunetti, who
was appointed to prosecute
the cases, said the grand
jury indicted the officials
“without proper guidance.”
Baxter Springs-based attorney John Gutierrez advised the grand jury. He
didn’t respond to attempts
for comment, The Joplin
Globe reported.
Prosecutors are able to
amend criminal charges in
most cases, but they cannot
do so when the charges are
the result of a grand jury investigation that was started
by a citizen petition, Brunetti said. But it’s possible
that another citizen petition
could be started for a grand
jury investigation, which
could result in new charges
in the case, she said.
In a written statement,
Oglesby said he was “grateful, even humbled,” by Brunetti’s motions to dismiss
the cases.
“While steadfastly maintaining our innocence from
day one, I have used this
event to carefully examine
every operational aspect of
governing our city,” Oglesby
said. “Every procedure, and
every personal motive has
been pondered often into the
wee hours of the morning.”
The seven Galena officials
are accused of authorizing
$100,000 to buy land for
the city and settle a lawsuit filed by resident Donald
