said. “I get to talk to people
as they are deciding, ‘Is this
the right program? Is this the
right time in my career and
in my life?’
“We have a great program
and it’s nice to talk to people
and decide if it is the right
one for them.”

According to Safe Kids USA, hot water
accounts for nearly half of all scald bums
among children 5 or younger.
In addition, 90 percent of all bum inju¬
ries to children in that age range are
scalds or contact bums.
Children may suffer worse injuries titan
adults because they have thinner skin. The
most common rooms where children are
scalded are the kitchen, dining room and
bathroom.
The department recommends calling
911 in an emergency.

HOROSCOPES by Holiday
ARIES (March 21-April
19). The balance of
nature requires that
nothing is "all good."
TAURUS (April
20-May 20). There are
things you wouldn't rec¬
ommend to your friends
or family but that you
choose for yourself
nonetheless.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21) . You appreciate one
who is charming and
clever, but what you love
most is when those
qualities are coupled
with practicality.
CANCER (June
22-July 22). You'll be cre¬
ative. Much of what you
dream up would take so
much time and energy
to pull off, that you'd
hardly find joy in it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
There is nothing to be
resolved in this day's
work. Rather, you'll get
the most out of the day
if you keep exploring.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) . Plan a trip, preferably
involving a plane. An aer¬
ial view of your life on
earth will have an influ¬
ence on your mindset.

UBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23). New patterns are
forming in your life. It
will be nearly impossi¬
ble to tell where you
are in a cycle until
you're deep in the
sequence.
SCORPIO (Oct.
24-Nov. 21). There will
be much that gets lost
as people try to relay
information verbally.
The best way is to
show how everything
relates in action.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21). You are
being subtly influ¬
enced to step up your
game. You realize that
the competition is stiff
and that the other
players are in it to
win.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19). You might
not be proud of your
production level thus
far this week, but go
easy on yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan.
20-Feb. 18).
Depending on the
route, a step sideways
is sometimes the best
way to move up.
PISCES (Feb.
19-March 20). Know
what your unique
offerings are. Not
everyone can do what
you're doing.
