The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, February 24, 1993 current compilation of the most peculiar things people do, edited by Chuck Shepherd. Proof that true stories are weirder than made-up stories. LEAD STORY -- In January, Israel's national telephone company initiated a fax Service that transmits messages to God via the Wailing Wall in ale An Roman Catholic church will unveil a high-tech confessional at a trade show in Vincenza, Italy, that will accept confessions by fax. And in December, a sect of Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn, N.Y., ‘began selling its members special beepers so they would know instantly when the Messiah arrives on Earth. COURTROOM ANTICS -- Circuit Judge Michael Hock- ing came under fire in Detroit in January after he gave a rapist the minimum 18- month term, citing “mitigating” factors. Among them: The man helped his victim off the floor, and he did not so ymuch use force as wear down the rvictim by persistence A New York administrative law judge ruled in January that former state government accoun- tant Julio Cruz was entitled to unemployment compensation ben efits even though he left work vol untarily. Cruz gave up a $52,000 :salary to move to Florida, giving as his reason that he had become disgusted with street crime in :New York City. He had been *Imugged three times recently; his si wife, once. -- A California appeals court decided in December to transfer a divorce case away from Orange County judge Ragnar Engebret- sen, because of a comment the judge had made when interpreting a prenuptial contract. Engebret- sen, certain that the husband would not have married his wife without the contract and noting that the couple had been living together before the marriage; asked rhetorically, "Why, in heav- en's name, do you buy the cow (i.e., get married) when you get the milk free (i.e., by living together)?" -- A California appeals court in November upheld a $100,000 award to the estate of Wesley Wilkins from Wilkins’ former lover, Lillie Siplin. Siplin had invited Wilkins to her mountain cabin in 1985 to have sex but, found the trial court, failed to warn Wilkins that her husband was a violent man. Siplin's hus- band broke in and stabbed Wilkins 17 times. As she was taking Wilkins to the hospital, she hap- pened to mention that her husband had acted this way several times before -- In December, the Indiana Supreme Court found court reporter Judith Hatfield in con tempt, sentencing her to seven days in jail and a $500 fine, for taking so long to transcribe a case it wanted to decide - Laguna Beach. Calif fic Commissioner M dismissed a man’s speeding tuck cet in October, giving as his rea son the fact that the arrestin officer's motorcycle wag painted blue and white. thus violating 4 State law that requires police vehicles to be either black and white or just while HOROSCOPES February 21-27 ARIES — March 21/April 20 Your social life will be very full this week and you will meet some inter esting (but strange) people. You'll discover that“life is full of surprises and you have to take it as it comes. An unexpected expense is on its way, so keep spending to a mini mum. Priday will be a day to reflect Don't get caught holding the bag may have to go through a few upsets with a friend or loved one who acts out of character. You will begin a hew project with a very smooth start Organization is the key to your suc cess in this and several other upcom ing projects. GEMINI — May 22/June 21 This will be an excellent week for you. You will be very productive at work and will feel a emendous sense of accomplishment, Someone from your past will show up at an unlikely place and this could lead to a renewed friendship — or even the start of a romance. You will have an opportu nity to change your living space CANCER - June 22/July 22 Take time off this week to quietly plan your future actions. Promotion could come before long. Positive changes are happening in many aspects of your life, and the process is going more smoothly than you previously would have thought, Don't try to push too much; everything will fall into place in due course This will be a very simple, uneventful week. You will finally catch up on the chores and paper work that you've been neglecting for some time. Your friends and associates will be shocked when they discover your organizational skills. When you want to (which isn’t often), you could be more organized than even the most efficient Virgo! VIRGO — Aug 24/Sept 22 Your social life will be very busy and you may end up disappointing one friend to spend time with another. Be as diplomatic as possible. Money may slip through your fingers; someone you trust could be trying to take you for a ride. Keep your eyes open LIBRA — Sept 23/Oct 23 You may have some frustrations at work involving a computer that’s not working properly. Don't let yourself get aggravated, the solution is easier than you think. Try not to ask others for help as this will waste time. Good fortune will follow you wherever you go. Your partner will surprise you SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You have to overcome some set backs, but you will reach your objec tives, There’s much to be gained by uprooting yourself from your present situation but, if this can't be accom. plished now, you will be able to do so early in May. You may be disap: pointed by a loved one SAGITTARIUS - Nov 2¥Dec 21 You will be in a generally happy mood this entire week, A, recently made plan regarding career begins to come into play, your love life is going well, and you're in demand socially. You will realize it's best to be honest with yourself. A Virgo friend will give you good advice. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 There's nothing to be gained by making special journeys this week, and those which have to be carried out may be a source of irritation Impulsive spending (probably on unnecessary items) can cause prob lems. Seek to stabilize your financial picture. You will impress a Leo friend with one of your hidden tal ents, Watch what you say; you may be caught in a lie! AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 It would be sensible to ask for advice before committing yourself to responsibilides you might later regret having taken on. The week may be hectic, but the weekend should be relaxing and fun. Some money that has been owed to you will finally be paid back, and there's no reason not 40. yourself. Return all phone calls especially from business contacts PISCES - Feb 19/March 20 A decision you made during the final weeks of last year is having a strong impact on your general routine and your, love life, too. Remember, the only ‘one who can change your life is you so, if you're not happy, make an effort to change things. The energy you exert feeling sorry for yourself could be used in a much more productive fashion YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK The next 12 months: In the coming year you will see a lot of ups and downs. Fortunately, there will be more. ups than downs — but the downs may %é a little rough With a positive attitude, there will be nothing you can’t get through. There 1s a lot of travel in store for you this year, and you may end up very far from home for some time. The new friends you make this year could have a major impact on your future (probably indirectly) Calvin ana Hobbes aI MISS WORMWOOD ? by Bill Watterson "RUMOR HAS IT SHE'S UP To TWo PACKS A DAY, UNFILTERED You CAN PRESENT THE MATERIAL, BUT YOU CANT MAKE ME CARE WHY DONT SUPERHERDES GO AFTER MORE SUBTLE, REALISTIC BAD GUYS?
