HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 21). Friends can help your career, and getting a better job could lead to more friends. Experience and luck are major factors in your success. Decide what you want in September. Quick wits lead to a lucky break in October. A surprising development sends you back to the drawing board in December. The work's a challenge, but you love it in February. Relocation expands your options in June. Look sharp to attract important friends in July. Move quickly to gain more status in August.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
You could get a burst of energy, but be careful.
You could take off in the wrong direction. Think about your priorities again and rearrange them, if necessary. That could be the most valuable time you spend all day.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
Some days your brain just works better, and this could be one of them. Reasess a problem that's had you stymied. You may think of a way around it or find a book that helps. What you don't know, you can learn, so get busy.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6
If you're buying something for your home, you may have to spend more than you planned. Only do that for the highest quality. If this product lasts long, you'll make your money back. Don't buy on a whim even if you're in a hurry.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7
You should get a lucky break, so watch for it. Something you've recently learned could come in handy, especially in an argument. The other person may feel confident, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he or she is right.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22] — Today is a 6.
Don't be distracted by a person you'd like to know better. There'll be time for that during the week. Meanwhile, finish something you promised. If you don't get that done by tomorrow, there could be trouble.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7
Others admire you for your wit and discretion. Your courage is being talked about, too. They'll be glad to help if there's work to be done. Let them know what you need, quickly. You won't gain a thing by waiting.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6
Take care of details and keep a low profile. The more you finish, the better. An older person could ask for an accounting, and you want to be ready when that happens. You may have to move quickly, too, so pay attention.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Ligarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a d. During the next few days, conditions will ease. Meanwhile, a test must be passed. Schedule your celebration for this weekend, but don't relax yet. Make sure the facts and figures are at your finger-tips. Be ready to explain them to a critical audience
Place that long-distance phone call now, instead of waiting for tomorrow. Your conversation could make a difference in the plans both of you make.
Don't relax your guard. Anticipate everything that could go wrong, just in case.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
A partner may get through where you tried and failed. If so, don't feel bad. There's more than enough to keep you busy; delegate as much as possible. If you keep track of what's going on, you'll still get credit where credit's due.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Stop giggling and get serious. You have to finish some work before you can play. You should have big plans for this weekend. Don't get distracted from a job that must get done, or you'll find yourself in a world of hurt tomorrow.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Faces (not 19-march 20) — Today is a 7.
You might feel shy, but you can power through it.
Don't let worries interfere if action needs to be taken. Follow the lead of a person you trust — and your heart, of course. Also, keep your brain in gear, just in case you need it.

Attendance pays off at Garden City school
GARDEN CITY — Going to school really pays off here.
Students who attend classes this week at Garden City High School could be rewarded with $100 prizes. And that's just the start of a new incentive program started by administrators to keep youngsters in school.
And at the end of the academic year, the winner of a new car will be drawn from the names of students with perfect attendance in any month.
"We're trying to increase attendance and lower the dropout rate," said principal Kevin Burr. "We're trying to make sure kids are here."
The money for the prizes will come from the proceeds of the high school's 10-year contract with PepsiCo Inc. The $2 million contract, of which about $140,000 already has been received, makes Pepsi the sole soft drink available at the high school and stadium.
"We're really giving back money that the kids themselves have spent," said superintendent Milt Pippenger.
Pennsylvania drivers get thrills on the go
DELMONT, Pa. — You want pasties with that?
In a country that offers everything from drive-through burgers to drive-through church services, a strip club near Pittsburgh has something new for those who can't stop in for tap dances — drive-through nudity.
Salem Township on an isolated stretch of U.S. Route 22, about 35 miles east of Pittsburgh.
"When they leave, customers are falling out laughing," said Nick Fratangelo, owner of the Climax Gentleman's Club in
Motorists pull around to a window at the back of the club, show proof they are 18 or older and pay $5 per minute. Then they pull up a few feet to a second window and watch a nude dancer for the amount of time they paid for.
A 26-year-old Climax stripper who would identify herself only by her stage name, Barbie, said most customers paid for two to three minutes, but one man paid $100 for 20 minutes.
"That can be tough," she said.
"After a while, you run out of things to do."
Couple wins Rolls with supermarket hot dogs
PORTLAND, Maine — William Schindler didn't realize it at the time, but the hot dogs he picked up at the supermarket at his wife's behest came with their own Rolls.
A 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, to be precise, with an estimated value of $48,000. The luxury vehicle was featured in the 1960 film, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Executives of Hebrew National planned to visit the Hannaford supermarket in Falmouth Sept. 14 to present William and Christina Schindler with their new car.
Hebrew National put little prize notifications in 5 million hot dog packages this summer as part of its "Buy the Franks and Win the Rolls" promotion. Only one package had the winning words in it.
"I just wanted something quick for supper that night, hot dogs
Christina Schindler said Hebrew National became her brand of choice several months ago, and she made that clear to her husband to buy that brand.
and I told him to get Hebrew National," she said. "I didn't know anything about the promotion.
"He opened the package, and he just stood there saying, 'no way.'
Teen-agers get eyeful during benefit concert
ALEXANDRIA, La. — Promoters of a benefit concert say they hope a singer's decision to expose himself won't completely overshadow the fact that the show was supposed to help the needy.
"I am sorry that five seconds of a five-hour show has put a dark cloud over future concerts at the amphitheater," said Michelle Smith, a representative for Safehaven Productions.
According to witnesses, Alfred Lambert, the lead singer of the Avoyelles Parish band S.I.T.H., exposed himself to a crowd of teen-agers at the Riverfront Amphitheater in Alexandria on Saturday night. S.I.T.H. is the acronym for "Sick in the Head."
"We were not fully aware that it was a family event," said S.I.T.H. drummer Billy Jeasonne.
The concert was promoted as an event to give teens something positive to do on a Saturday night and to collect food for charity.
Citizens urged to eat overcrowded crawdads
MESA, Ariz. — Crawdads. It's what's for dinner.
Crawdads have outstayed their welcome in the state's lakes and streams. So the Arizona Game and Fish Department wants people to eat them, even offering instructions for how to catch, boil and pinch the mud bugs.
"They've had an easy time for a
lot of years," said Rony Alkens, Arizona Game and Fish representative. "We've had a quite a push trying to let the public know about the, uh, how you do you put it, the culinary potential of crayfish and the art of catching them. They're easy to get at about any lake."
Arizona is the only mainland state with no native species of crawdad a type of crustacean that looks like a minilobster and also is called crayfish or crawfish. Decades ago, state officials intentionally put crayfish in Arizona waters as food for sport fish in lakes.
Since then, their numbers have exploded.
"Take some hot water, boil 'em and you've got a meal," Aikens said last week.
Vandals decapitate Snoopy auction piece
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Good Grief! Vandals cut the head off a Snoopy statue last month, and local business people are asking for its return.
They say the statue, called "Stargazing," cannot be repaired without the head in time for an Oct. 1 auction.
It's part of the summer-long "Peanuts on Parade" tribute to the late Charles Schulz that put 101 5-foot-high, polyurethane Snoopy statues in various locations in St. Paul, the city where the cartoonist grew up.
Jane McClure, spokeswoman for the North End Business Association, said if the head was returned by Saturday, the group would not pursue criminal charges.
The association also is offering a reward of up to $500 for information that leads to the arrest or conviction of the vandals.
