The Coralville City Council is work- ing on an ordinance to ban the use of electronic cigarettes. The ordinance was brought to the attention of the council in early February. City Councilor Jill Dodds said the ordinance would most likely go into effect soon. “Other places in the state are putting these bans in place with the smoking bans,” she said. “It will benefit the respiratory sys- tems of everyone.” The ordinance will make the use of e-cigarettes illegal in places cigarette smoking is not allowed. This would in- clude public places, city buildings, and places of employment. E-cigarettes are battery-powered vaporizers that simulate the feeling of smoking but without tobacco.

Thursday, February 18, 2016 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Work alone if that’s what it takes to get things done your way. Don’t wait around for help — do what you want to do quickly and efficiently to avoid being questioned. Keep a secret to avoid opposition or interference. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Try to get along with your peers to avoid a problem at work. Refrain from making personal changes to the way you look or what you believe in. Wait until you are certain about what you want to do before taking action. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Check out new job opportunities. Consider how your skills and talents can fit into the current economic trends, and market yourself accordingly. Showing affection and charm will win favors from someone you love. Travel plans should be made. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Revisit the past, and document the things you want to remember. Make aff change at home that will give you more space or result in more people or pets living with you. Don’t be afraid to do things differently. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You could use a change. Whether you decide to go on sabbatical or just a short vacation, it will do you good. You need time to yourself in order to make a wise choice about your fu- ture prospects. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get out, and have some fun. Take part in events that you are interested in and make a difference. Good fortune will arise through the people you meet. Express your emotions, and take positive action. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make plans. This is not the time to sit around waiting for people and things to come to you. Use your charm and in- telligence to get ahead. Network, and you will make an impression that will lead to greater confidence and better partnerships. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Travel, attend an exhibit, or sign up for a self-awareness course, and you will meet unusual people and discover alternative ways to put your talents to good use. Don’t miss out be- cause someone is unwilling to take part. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make a choice not to overspend or in- dulge. Put your money in a safe place, and refuse to let anyone talk you into doing something foolish. Romance is highlighted, but shouldn’t put you in debt. You can’t lease love. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do whatever it takes to impress some- one who can help you change your financial or legal status. A little extra thought regarding how you can be more entertaining will help you attract promising job offers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a break in order to figure out how you want to move forward. Life changes have sent you into a tailspin, and taking time to assess, regroup, and make wise choices will be in your best interest. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be forced to re-evaluate your past and present in order to build a brighter future. Don’t be afraid to start over. New beginnings may be difficult, but they can also be rejuvenat- ing. Clear the way to freedom and good fortune.
