FIRE CODE Continued from 1

Only $123,196.53 in loans and $109,104.14 in grants were provided to businesses, though, so not all of the available funding was used. Several establishments went ahead with the ret- rofits but chose not to use city dollars. The loan and grant program expired in October 2010. During that time, seven businesses received funding, but after that date, no other businesses could use the financial assistance from the city. The ordinance established various deadlines for different bars and restaurants in Iowa City to get the systems installed based on occupancy. The ordinance only applies to A2- and B-occupancy level bars — establishments that possess a certain occupancy level and are able to contain large groups of people — that have multiple levels and Alcoholic Beverage Division Licenses. So far, 22 local businesses have installed or have permits to install the system upgrades, and 19 still have to complete them.

A move or change of scenery will bring you more opportunities to explore old goals. Don’t take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Take care of personal paperwork. VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22) Partnerships will weigh in heavily when it comes to making a decision. You must feel comfortable with the outcome, or back away.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21) Tread carefully when dealing with friends, relatives, or people in your community. You will be misinterpreted or blamed for something if you are too open or aggressive. Focus on how you can make your home more inviting. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19) Don’t let a meddler influence a partnership or deal. Stick to your plan regardless of what anyone else decides to do. An old friend or lover will be a reminder of how to handle your current situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18) Reconsider before making changes. You are likely in a better position than you realize. Bide your time, and focus on how you can make your home or your job more to your liking. Present your ideas and the service you can offer. PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20) Uncompromising individuals will lead you astray. Don’t let your heart and emotions rule your head. Consider the pros and cons, and make a decision based on what you will gain in the end. Smart moves will ensure future success.

Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year candidate Melissa Dixon propelled Iowa past Northwestern to finish conference play with an 8-8 record.

By Matt Cabel [email protected]

Melissa Dixon may have solidified herself as the Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year. The Northwestern Wildcats stole a win from the Hawkeyes on a last-second lay-up by Northwestern guard Karly Roser one month ago. Dixon and the Hawkeyes didn’t let the game get close enough in the second for the Wildcats to have a chance this time around. They beat the Wildcats, 62-45, in Evanston on Sunday afternoon, finishing the regular season at 19-11 (8-8 Big Ten). Dixon was the driving force behind the Hawkeye victory. She scored Indiana guard Yogi Ferrell (left) defends Iowa forward Devyn Marble in the first half in Bloomington on March 2.
