A WOMAN and her brother died in
IHingis recently when their car
slammed into a tree at the Ascension
Cemetery.

And in March, a Wail Street ana-
lyst in his twenties leaped to his
death from the 22nd Noor of 71
Broadway, landing in the graveyard
of Trinity Church, where Alexander
Hamilton is buried.

British astronomer (Dr.
Jacqueline Mitton recently told
reporters that all star signs are about
one month off, meaning that every-
one who believes in astrology has
been reading the wrong signs,

The dates for each star were
drawn-up more than 2,000 years
ayo. said Mitton, but “the Zodiac is
constantly changing.” for example
now spending only seven days
under Scorpio and more than a
month each under Virgo, Taurus and
Pisces. . Countered — astrologer
Jonathan Cainer of London’s Daily
Mail newspaper: “Her claim is
codswallop.”

U.S. President Clinton recently
invited sidewalk protestor Todd
Ouellette, 27, into the Oval Office
for a five-minute meeting.

Ouellette had requested the
meeting on Feb. 19, 1993, after
returning from a seven-month walk
across the U.S., picking up signa-
tures demanding action on Vietnam
War POWs and MIAs. After the
five-minute chat, Ouellette
announced he was satisfied, that he
was ending his 25-month protest,
and that he was moving on to other
issues, such as the war with China,
which “will be coming up around
the year 2000.” (In a previous inter-
view, Ouellette said he did not know
why he was so obsessed with the
POW-MIA issue. He had no friends
or relatives who served during the
war.)

‘GARDENING TIPS

one

BY GEORGE -

Deer can be a real problem,
especially if you grow roses, their
‘favourite food. Some annuals
F they don't care for are Impatiens,
zinnias, and marigolds. Bulbs and
# perennials they may not like are
Caillardia, daylily, bleeding hearts,
E california poppies, dusty milter
fox gloves and forget-me-not.
Also herbs like basil, thyme, sage,
oregano, rosemary and lavender
are not normally to their taste.

1 Some old fashioned remedies are:
blend onion, garlic and red

pepper with water, strain, add a |

; little soap to make the spray stick.
or break an egg and spread it
around the base of your rose
