By Tom Munds [email protected]

A large crowd of fellow competitors and fans cheered loudly, acknowledging the athletic prowess of all of those competing in the Sept. 19 Overland Invitational gymnas-tics meet, where Elizabeth’s score of 172.75 placed seventh, just a quarter of a point behind sixth-place Ponderosa.

Pomona won the team title with 182.025 points, and Cherry Creek fi nished second.

Cardinals coach Stacey Folmar said Eliza-beth is a young team this season.

“We have 27 girls on our team and 16 of them are freshmen. Having the freshmen is

County’s burn rules tightened By Geraldine Smith Special to Colorado Community Media

As recently as Sept. 17, a roughly 15-acre brush fi red burned southeast of the town of Elbert. The fi re on Eagle Lane was started by a spark from a resident mowing, according to the Elbert Fire Protection District.

Rapid response by crews from Elbert and surrounding areas were able to contain it quickly. However, with the existing dry conditions, the county might not be so fortunate next time.

Residents of the county need to be aware of the immediate dangers because of the cur-rent vegetation and dry conditions. Due to these conditions, Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap has

Competitors, families, friends and fans fi lled most of the bleacher seats to watch Elizabeth and 14 other teams compete at the Overland Invitational gymnastics meet. The Cardinals fi nished seventh in the team standings.

Scouts follow trail to fun near Elbert Peaceful Valley hosts major Camporee for Denver area

By Geraldine Smith Special to Colorado Community Media

Peaceful Valley Boy Scout Ranch was anything but an idyllic setting Sept. 18-20, the weekend of the 2015 Denver Area Council’s Camporee. Close to 3,000 Scouts, parents, leaders and volunteers descended upon the property for a weekend campout and an event-fi lled three days.

This weekend was also the kickoff for the 50th anniversary of Peaceful Valley Boy Scout Ranch. Peaceful Valley is a 2,640-acre camp located just outside of Elbert, purchased by the Denver Area Council in 1961 to expand the existing Camp Tahosa.

Peaceful Valley has been

hosting Scouts and their families since the fi rst summer camp in 1965. Often, generation after generation of a Scouting family returns to introduce the present group to the wonders of Scouting at Peaceful Valley.

Jim Gibbens and his grand-sons Aiden and Caleb McClune are an illustration of the genera-tional appeal of the ranch. Al-though Gibbens never attended a Camporee, he had been to the ranch as a youth.

Gibbens explained, “I camped here with my Scout troop in the 1960s.”

Both boys were excited to be camping with their grandfather, and it showed on their faces as they proudly introduced him. Like so many other Scouts, Aiden and Caleb returned to the BB guns, archery and ga-ga ball (a variation of dodgeball) again and again.

Scouts from Webelos (pre-Cub Scouts ) to Venturing Scouts and Explorers engaged in a variety of activities from conservation projects to living history dem-onstrations. Fifty activities and games for Cub Scouts and nearly 100 competitions for Boy Scouts, Venturing Scouts and Explorers were available.

Among the highlights of the day was a tour of an Air Force Black Hawk helicopter followed

New hospital CEO feels right at homeSam Huenergardt plans to build on momentum

By Chris [email protected]

Learning about all of the moving parts in a new workplace can be daunting, but for people like Sam Huenergardt, the challenge is part of the fun.

The new chief executive officer at Parker Adventist Hospital describes his first few weeks on the job as “phenome-nal,” and it’s easy to see why. Huenergardt inherits the reins of a respected institu-tion that has grown by leaps and bounds, incorporating the latest medical technol-ogy along the way.

The hospital is nearing a higher-level trauma designation and is at the tail end of an expansion project that will add new operating rooms, more space to the emer-

gency department and a 24-bed neuro joint spine unit.

But while state-of-the-art equipment is useful, Huenergardt knows it’s the devot-

ed professionals who work in the building that make all the difference. Parker Adventist is teeming with people who are “ready to take the next step” in a bid for constant improvement, he said.

At 39, Huenergardt is decidedly young for a hospital CEO, but that doesn’t mean he lacks

the experience necessary to oversee such an elaborate operation. He has gained a thorough understanding of team dynam-ics, workplace efficiency and, above all, how to effectively manage by working in hospitals big and small throughout the country. He most recently was CEO of Central Texas Medical Center in San

Marcos, Texas.When asked what makes a good CEO,

Huenergardt says it’s often about cultivat-ing an environment that enables employ-ees to properly care for patients, as well as “taking a long view on things.”

“Three to five years from now, we know what the hospital is going to look like and that’s so important,” he said. “You can do a better job of managing people if you’re not so reactive.”

Some solid groundwork was laid by former Parker Adventist CEO Morre Dean, whose mother once worked alongside Huenergardt’s grandmother at Porter Adventist Hospital. Huenergardt brings continuity with him, as he has long been in the Adventist hospital system “working under the same mission statement.”

Huenergardt, who grew up in Kimball, Nebraska, said he has been welcomed with open arms by the people of Parker, including Town Administrator Randy Young, who introduced him to business

professionals on Mainstreet and the “people who put down roots here.”

Aside from learning about the inner workings of Parker Adventist, Huener-gardt is training for a half-marathon and loves to golf, although he says his game has suffered since having children, who are now ages 7 and 9.

It’s the local family-friendly atmo-sphere, in part, that made the move to Parker so easy.

“That’s why I like Colorado: the moun-tains, all of the parks, the rec centers, the festivals, spending time with family and exercising,” he said.

When Huenergardt is on the clock, however, it’s all about business and main-taining the hospital’s momentum and positive direction. The idea is to treat the Parker community like family, he says.

“I want to preserve that special culture and expand on those things,” Huener-gardt said.

State’s top court to decide if cities can ban frackingColorado, energy industry face challenge over local control

By Dan ElliottAssociated Press

The Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether cities can ban hydraulic fracturing, stepping into a high-stakes battle over whether local govern-ments can impose tougher oil and gas rules than the state.

The court will hear cases from Long-mont, where voters banned hydraulic fracturing in 2012, and Fort Collins, where voters approved a five-year moratorium in 2013.

The Colorado Oil and Gas Associa-tion sued the two cities, and lower courts overturned the local restrictions, saying regulation is the state’s prerogative. The

cities and several environmental groups appealed.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, injects a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals underground to crack open formations and make it easier to recover oil and gas. It’s a widespread prac-tice that led to an energy boom in Colo-rado, the nation’s No. 7 energy-producing state, and elsewhere.

The state Supreme Court’s decision could settle a long-simmering battle fought on multiple fronts in Colorado, including public health, the environment and property rights.

“I would say this is pretty huge,” said Tanya Heikkila, an associate professor at the University of Colorado-Denver who studies fracking policy debates.

The state has generally taken the posi-tion that it has the sole power to regulate the oil and gas industry, and that local governments can participate in decisions

about how drilling and fracking occur but not whether it should be allowed.

“Local governments obviously still want some say in the ‘whether,’” Heikkila said. “The Supreme Court decision will clarify that issue.”

Critics say fracking endangers public health and underground water supplies. The industry maintains it is safe.

Fracking has also intensified battles over property rights in Colorado. Land-owners — sometimes called surface owners — often don’t own the rights to the minerals underneath their property, setting up disputes over where and how the mineral owners can drill. Noise, lights and health worries generate complaints when drilling rigs set up near homes or schools.

New York state has banned fracking, citing environmental and public health risks. Energy-rich Texas and Oklahoma enacted laws in May that prevent local

governments from banning fracking.One of the proponents of the Long-

mont ban, a group called Our Longmont, welcomed the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to weigh in.

“This is an issue with profound con-sequences for our community and its residents,” Our Longmont president Kaye Fissinger said.

The Colorado Oil and Gas Associa-tion also welcomed the court’s interven-tion and predicted the local restrictions wouldn’t survive. Spokesman Doug Flanders said the group has been work-ing on finding workable solutions to the disputes.

Longmont Assistant City Manager Sandy Seader said the city is ready to de-fend its ban. A Fort Collins official didn’t immediately return a call.

The court didn’t indicate when it might rule.

Alzheimer’s program seeks understandingStaff report

The Home Instead Senior Care office serv-ing Castle Rock is launching a new campaign designed to make the community more Alzheimer’s-friendly. Through the Alzheimer’s Friendly Business program, the Home Instead Senior Care office will provide free training to local businesses to help equip employees with information and resources needed to welcome families who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease.

In a recent survey of Alzheimer’s caregivers, 74 percent reported that they and their loved ones have become more isolated from the community as a result of the disease. Fur-thermore, 85 percent reported that they feel a reduced quality of life due to isolation.

“For many caregivers, the unpredictable nature of the disease can make going out in public with their loved one intimidating,” said Carol Parker, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Castle Rock, Parker, Highlands Ranch and the mountain commu-nities from Evergreen to Frisco. “Our research shows that family caregivers might be reluc-tant to frequent public places because of the behaviors that could be associated with the disease.”

According to Alzheimer’s Disease Interna-tional, the number of people with dementia worldwide is expected to grow to a staggering 75.6 million by 2030 and 135.5 million in 2050.

“Given the statistics, most businesses that deal with the public will be serving people with Alzheimer’s and their families,” said Parker.

“It’s critical that local businesses start work-ing now to build Alzheimer’s-friendly com-munities to better serve their customers with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.”

To complete the training, employees are asked to work through an interactive, online module available at AlzheimersFriendlyBusi-ness.com. Once the training is successfully completed, businesses will receive a window cling with the Alzheimer’s Friendly Business designation. The designation will be valid for two years.

Kennel named for fallen Marine dog-handlerDavid Sonka honored at Camp Lejeune

By Chris [email protected]

Two years after making the ultimate sacri-fice, Cpl. David Sonka’s legacy endures.

The latest example is the renaming of the U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Com-mand dog kennel at Camp Lejeune, the North Carolina base where Sonka trained. On Sept. 7, Sonka’s widow and family members attended a ceremony at the base to unveil the Corporal David M. Sonka Multi-Purpose Canine Facility.

Sonka, 23, was on his second deployment in Afghanistan when he, his canine, Flex, and Staff Sgt. Eric Christian were killed in an insider at-tack on May 4, 2013, while conducting combat operations in Farah Province. Sonka was post-humously awarded the Purple Heart.

In a statement to Colorado Community Me-dia, Sonka’s mother, Donna Francis, said she is and will continue to be “devastated and heart-broken” over her son’s death.

“The renaming of the MARSOC Kennels in Camp Lejeune, N.C., is truly an honor and speaks highly of Dave’s hard work and dedi-cation as a Marine K-9 handler,” Francis said. “However, I wish none of this had to exist. As proud as I am of all his accomplishments, I would gladly give back every honor, tribute and dedication he has received since his death. The only thing I wanted was my son back alive.”

Sonka’s name comes up often in the com-munity where he grew up.

Before its Sept. 16 game against Chaparral High School, Rock Canyon High School’s soft-ball team sent out a tweet that read: “Come support us as we honor Cpl. David Sonka, grad from Chap.” Sonka attended Chaparral, where former classmates held a candlelight remem-brance ceremony after his death.

There are also multiple online tributes to Sonka.

A Facebook page called “David Michael Son-ka — Always Remember” has nearly 500 fol-lowers and still posts information on a regular basis, including a Sept. 11 post that said “David was 11 when the towers fell. He saved and do-nated $200 to help the victims.”

Sonka joined the Marine Corps in August 2008. After being assigned to the Marine Special Operations Support Group at Camp Lejeune, he completed a special ops training course and multi-purpose canine courses. He was then at-tached to 2nd Marine Special Operations Bat-talion as a multi-purpose canine handler.

Master Gunnery Sgt. John Alen, who was serving as program manager at MarSOC when Sonka worked there, said the memorial recog-nizes his and Flex’s sacrifice and service.

“I have no doubt it was his love for this coun-

try that led David to enlist in the United States Marine Corps,” Alen said.

In May, there was an outpouring of sympa-thy for Falco, a military working dog that Sonka handled for three years. Sonka was deployed with Falco to Afghanistan in 2011. Sonka’s widow, Torey, took in Falco after he retired in March, but the patrol explosive detector dog died two months later of gastric torsion. Several supporters on the military working dogs Face-book page said they take comfort in knowing that Sonka and Falco are now reunited.

Lieutenant Governor visits SMDCBy Anne Marie Boger, SMDC

�e Chamber’s confer-ence room was full of eager listeners on Tuesday morning, September 22, as Lt. Gover-nor Joe Garcia addressed the room about a heavy subject: higher education funding. Garcia was very comfortable with the subject matter and for good reason – he is Execu-tive Director of the Colorado Department of Higher Educa-tion, and prior to serving under John Hickenlooper, was President of Colorado State University – Pueblo. Before that, President of Pikes Peak Community College.

�e morning’s introduc-tions began with Bill Shepard

of W.J. Shepard Consulting, LLC, who is also Chair of the Chamber’s ‘Business Leaders for Responsible Government’ group. Michele McKinney of University of Colorado in-troduced Garcia, and Garcia’s �rst remarks were about the wide variety of colleges that are in Colorado. He spoke about how community col-leges, trade schools, and even “mom-and-pop barber schools” are losing funds. Big universities like CU and CSU will likely continue to thrive because of large attendance, but what’s the future for smaller-scale post-education institutions?

Decreased funding isn’t the only trend Garcia addressed. He brought up the increase in

tuition, the growing im-portance of post-secondary schools for the workforce to make a “living wage,” and the gap between seniors in high school to college freshman – many college freshman have to take remedial courses in their �rst semesters because they’re not prepared for full-credit work.

How can we strengthen our communities? Garcia spoke of the staggering numbers of people that have enrolled in college and completed courses, but never earned a degree. �ere is an opportu-nity here. A bigger push for non-traditional campuses and online and evening courses could mean re-enrollment for those previous attendees to

�nish their degree. And in alignment with

staggering numbers, Andy Carlson, Sr. Policy Analyst for the State Higher Education Executive O�cers Associa-tion (SHEEO), delivered an informative presentation on trends in state higher educa-tion funding for Colorado and the Nation.

Final comments for the meeting were from Je� Was-den, President of Colorado Business Roundtable/ Chair, Public Policy, for the Cham-ber. �e Chamber’s Business Leaders for Responsible Gov-ernment (BLRG) group meets monthly, and is in alignment with the South Metro Denver Chamber’s key strategic prior-ity for public policy.

Leaders gather to address funding for higher education

Legislation will very soon be in session, and the Cham-ber is excited to announce its annual Legislative Action trip to D.C., co-hosted with the Colorado Business Round-table. �is is a unique opportunity to make an impact in Washington and on your business. It’s your chance to interact directly with policymakers, White House o�cials, and Chamber members.

�e trip’s mission is twofold: to educate and empower Chamber members, and to represent the voice of the south metro Denver business community at the Capitol. We

will be speaking with senior White House O�cials about Infrastructure, International Trade, the Department of Defense, and Energy. �ese dynamic conversations will be inspiring, motivating, and spark change.

�e trip will begin in the morning on Tuesday, No-vember 3, and commence �ursday evening. �is is a once-in-a-lifetime itinerary, including: Meeting with the Departments of Energy, Commerce & International Trade, a Congressional Reception Dinner, White House tour and U.S. Chamber Meeting, an individual meeting with

members of the Colorado Congressional Delegation, and much more.

On behalf of the South Metro Denver Chamber and the Colorado Business Roundtable, we hope you will join us. �e cost is $1,500 to include: accommodations, transpor-tation within D.C., and most meals. Space is limited to 20 Chamber members and 10 members of the Roundtable. For more trip details and to reserve your seat, please contact Natalie Harden at [email protected] or 303.795.0142.

Family hopes verdict puts focus on earlier deathConvicted killer lost two wives in similar circumstances

By Sadie GurmanAssociated Press

Relatives of a woman whose husband was convicted of pushing her to her death off a cliff in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park hope the guilty verdict also brings justice for the man’s first wife, whom prosecutors say he killed in what also appeared to be a freak accident nearly 20 years earlier.

It took a federal jury about 10 hours to find Harold Henthorn, 59, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his second wife, Toni Henthorn, a successful oph-thalmologist from Jackson, Mississippi.

She died after plummeting about 130 feet off a cliff in a remote, rocky area where the couple had been hiking on Sept. 29, 2012, their 12th wedding an-niversary.

But much of the two-week trial fo-cused on the death of Henthorn’s first wife, Sandra Lynn Henthorn, who was crushed when a car slipped off a jack while they were changing a flat tire in 1995 — several months after their 12th wedding anniversary.

Henthorn, of Highlands Ranch, has not been charged in that case, which was initially closed after just a week. But

police reopened the investigation after his second wife’s death.

Prosecutors said the cases were eerily similar. Both happened in secluded areas where Henthorn was the only witness. And prosecutors argued that in each case,

Henthorn sought to benefit from his wife’s life insur-ance policies. They showed jurors evidence suggesting that Henthorn intention-ally pushed the car onto his wife and shooed away passersby who tried to help.

Sandra Lynn Henthorn’s relatives said they hope the trial renews investigators’ attention to her case. A spokeswoman for the Douglas County Sheriff Office, which is handling the investigation, did not immediately return calls inquiring about the status of the probe.

Defense attorney Craig Truman argued both deaths were tragic accidents and painted Henthorn as a mournful hus-band.

Toni Henthorn’s brother, Barry Berto-let, said he was relieved because the Sept. 21 verdict means Henthorn can’t harm again. Henthorn, who shook his head in disbelief when the jury was polled, faces a mandatory life prison term when he is sentenced on Dec. 8.

“We are overjoyed with the verdict and

relieved this won’t happen to any other lady,” Bertolet said. “We don’t have to worry anymore.”

Toni Henthorn’s family will move to adopt the couple’s 10-year-old daughter, relatives said.

Prosecutors argued Henthorn sought to collect on Toni Henthorn’s $4.7 million in life insurance policies, which she didn’t know existed. They seized on Henthorn’s inconsistent accounts of the fatal fall and said the evidence did not match his shift-ing stories.

Henthorn scouted the remote area of the popular park 75 miles north of Denver nine times before bringing his wife with him. A coroner said he could not deter-mine whether Toni Henthorn fell or was pushed, but said he found no evidence that Harold Henthorn actually performed CPR on his wife, despite what he told dispatchers.

And park rangers said Henthorn could not explain why he had a park map with

an “X” drawn at the spot where his wife fell.

Two jurors told The Associated Press that though some of the evidence was circumstantial, they were overwhelm-ingly convinced of Henthorn’s guilt. Only one juror needed more time to analyze the evidence before making her decision, they said.

Juror Kim Thiessen said it was the scope of the evidence, rather than just one piece, that secured her guilty verdict.

“Some of it was circumstantial, but we were instructed to use our common sense,” she said.

After the jury was dismissed, applause erupted in the courtroom. A female juror stepped out of the box and hugged Toni Henthorn’s mother, Yvonne Bertolet.

“That was very meaningful,” Berto-let said. “Believe it or not, I forgive him (Henthorn) for doing it. I feel for him and his family.”

Military brides-to-be given free wedding dressesProgram will begin at Compleat Couture in Centennial on Oct. 2

By Taryn [email protected]

Starting in October, every first Friday of the month, military brides-to-be can get a free designer wedding dress of up to $4,000 at Compleat Couture in Centen-nial, thanks to Babara Raskin Myers. She has teamed up with nonprofits James Re-source Network and Brides Across Amer-ica.

Operation Wedding Gown will kick off at the charity salon at 7562 S. University Blvd. on Oct 2. and give those who regis-ter for $20, qualify and make an appoint-ment a free range of 500-plus dresses to choose from. The dresses are sizes 2-30, 95 percent brand-new and from all over the country, with the majority coming from a base in New York City.

Ever since Myers moved to Colorado from South Carolina, with truckfulls of gowns in tow, she’s been hunting for chari-ties and volunteers. With the grand open-ing of her bridal and formal store in April, it’s brought much success, she said.

“I was in New York on 9/11 and have felt a lot of American spirit since,” she said. “A lot of these women who are serving, or who have husbands serving, don’t have a budget or timeline and the weddings are prompted. Here we want them to have the full experience and bring their friends and family to watch them pick out a dress.”

Two to three volunteers will be staffed per bride on the event days, Myers said.

President of James Resource Network Sandy Coen said she knows the intimate area will make the brides feel taken care of before their special day.

BAA has gifted over 14,000 wedding gowns and 20 weddings to date, according to a news release. All dresses at Compleat Couture are donated from manufacturers and anyone in the public interested may donate, Myers said.

Barbara Myers opened Compleat Couture, a Centennial bridal and formal store, in April. She has worked with nonprofits James Resource Network and Brides Across America to organize an event called Operation Wedding Gown, in which every first Friday of the month starting in November, military brides who make an appointment receive free bridal gowns.

Environmental activist’s novel is set in MaineLatest from Bond is thriller with focus on corruption

By Sonya [email protected]

Mike Bond, a Maine native who lives in Roxborough (as well as Maine and Hawaii), has, as a journalist, covered envi-ronmental issues worldwide and war and politics in Latin America, Africa, the Mid-dle East and Europe. He has been, and is, an environmental activist and is very much distressed by the growth of wind farms in Maine, where his family has lived since the 1600s. “Killing Maine,” recently published, is set in his home state.

He writes a complicated tale of bribery, corrupt politicians with influence over environmental groups — and the intense focus of Special Forces veteran/inter-nationally known surfer Pono Hawkins, who knows how to operate in dangerous circumstances — and with interesting women. (We first met Pono in “Saving Paradise,” set in Hawaii, where similar issues affect the beauty of a special place, and assassins awaited in the shadows.)

This is Bond’s sixth book and earlier ones are set in the Middle East, Guate-mala, Africa — each with an underlying concern about nature and the politics that drive leaders to action.

The author is described by his publish-er as the master of the socially conscious thriller. “Killing Maine,” called an exis-tential thriller, has Hawkins charging into one messy situation after another and ends the story with a funny dilemma that could go a number of directions if there were more pages.

Pono heads to Maine to aid his former Special Forces buddy, Bucky Franklin, who is in jail, accused of murdering an environmentalist. Hawkins is greeted with gunfire on his first excursion into the woods and is almost always feeling threatened and edgy. Bucky’s wife, who called for help, is also a former lover —

one of many. And Hawkins takes up with Abigail, the murder victim’s widow.

Bond describes the beautiful woods and mountains, coated with snow, temperatures well below freezing. It’s invaded by a noisy wind farms that don’t really function well and destroy property values — and residents’ treasured peace and quiet. They have come about through corruption that riddles the state’s political structure.

Winter is almost an additional charac-ter as Pono moves through frigid, rough territory, ducking bullets and hiding from threatening villains, as he keeps Bucky’s old green Kawasaki snowmobile operat-ing. It’s obviously very familiar territory for Bond, one he truly treasures. Although in a phone conversation, he also waxed eloquent about the beauty of the Roxbor-ough area where his home is located — and its wildlife and threats to that area.

As Hawkins roams through Maine, he occasionally stops at Stroudwater Grave-yard to give the relatives an update — a clever way of keeping the reader in the loop through a convoluted tale.

His characters and locations are clearly described, so the reader has an ongoing mental picture (the movie in your head?) and the dialogue reflects Maine collo-quialisms. He connects with people at colorful spots like Three Dollar Dewey’s in Portland, where he meets a woman law-yer. There’s a brief sequence in Hawaii as he visits with and philosophizes with his terminally ill father, who is also a unique character. Dad plans to sail off into the sunset.

Today’s technology comes online as he asks his island friend, Mitchell, to run down information about Maine police operations and legislators, when local types are stonewalling him. And then, Abigail goes missing to further complicate the picture …

Bond’s book is available at the Tattered Cover, and when he returns to the area, he will set up a time to meet readers and talk about his new book, as well as his multifaceted life and interests.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDEDThe nonprofits are in need of volunteers and donations:• Gowns for BAA may be donated at Compleat Couture or She She’s Corner, where donors will receive a tax receipt. Dresses donated should be dry cleaned.• Compleat Couture just received a large gown donation from a New York manufacturer and help from the community is needed before they can go on racks. • Individuals with sewing skills are needed to replace broken zippers and make other minor repairs. Working from home is permitted.• Volunteers will deliver and pick up.

Silent letters give up right to fair hearing There are few things that I appreciate

more than complete silence.Except when it comes to the alphabet.I just read this, and I was furious: “J.K.

Rowling says you’re mispronouncing Volde-mort.”

Now she tells us. The “t” is silent.I don’t know anything about her books or

the movies.About all I know is that I thought Emma

Watson was a rather clever girl whenever she appeared on Letterman.

Silent letters should be against the law.I have gone from a position of complaint

to something more aggressive.If they are silent, do away with them or

else.How did you pronounce “Degas” the fi rst

time you saw it?I am sure it wasn’t “Day-ga.”The French are to blame for a lot of this.You pronounce all of the letters in his fi rst

name. Edgar. His last name gets Frenched up.How do you pronounce “Grand Marnier”?How do you pronounce “Dom Perignon”?Have you ever been to Sault St. Marie?Explaining silent letters is a deeper study

than I realized.And none of it would be needed if silent

letters were forbidden, as they should be.Of course, it would put a few people out

of business, like functional grammar special-ists.

Have you ever heard of “exocentric dio-graphs,” or “endocentric diographs”?

Me either.

There is an exo-centric diograph in “enough.”

There is an en-docentric diograph in “guard.”

Why is there an “h” in “Theresa”?

Why are there two “e’s” in “em-ployee”?

Why are there two “l’s” in “mis-spell”?

Look who’s talk-ing. There are two “l’s” in my middle name and one of them is silent. I

have never known which one.Take your pick.If it didn’t have two “l’s” I would be a mar-

shal, a municipal law offi cer. No thanks.One of the reasons why I am not interested

in fashion is because of Yves St. Laurent.That name is really messed up.It’s about as far away from phonetic spell-

ing as it gets.Grammarians have determined that 11

letters are capable of the silent treatment.They are “b,” “c,” “d,” “g,” “h,” “k,” “n,” “p,”

“t,” “u,” and “w.”And if they all appear in the same word,

the entire word is silent, so don’t even bother.Why is there an “e” at the end of Gross

Pointe?

So they can charge extra for mansions.We’re nearing Christmas. Which means we

are nearing the mispronunciation of “poin-settia.”

Kids, the fi nal “i” is not silent.And the fi rst “r” in “February” isn’t silent.The second “o” in sophomore isn’t either.We are a bunch of lazy sods when it comes

to words.We abbreviate, truncate and emasculate

the English language. Well, you do. I don’t.Anyone who says “EVOO” deserves to be

slapped.That’s how Melvin “Slappy” White got his

nickname.White was a comedian, but he was also a

scholar, and he slapped anyone who abused language.

He once loosened a man’s tooth when he said “Frisco,” referring to San Francisco. You just don’t do that.

What’s the point of naming a city Las Vegas if you are going to call it “Vegas”?

Vegas were subcompacts made by Chevro-let. They were beset with problems. I haven’t seen one on the road in 30 years.

Let’s get back to Degas.No one knows if Degas ever spent any time

in a Vega in Las Vegas.Now I want you to look at the word

“Wednesday” and tell me what it is doing in this column.

Being ready for best is way to be blessed Whenever I am traveling for business or

for pleasure, and as I board my fl ight and am greeted by the fl ight attendant with “Wel-come aboard, and how are you doing?” my response is always the same, “I am ready for the best fl ight ever!”

That usually generates a smile from the fl ight attendant and any of the crew who may be paying attention. And sometimes I can even see a sense of pride as their body language and facial expressions shift.

I like to do the same thing when I am greeted at a restaurant. When a host, host-ess, or server asks me how I am doing, I respond in a similar way, “I am ready for the best meal ever!” Again, this usually has the staff smiling and feeling proud. And in both situations I will share with you that the cus-tomer service I experience is tremendous. This happens because an expectation was established and the people responsible had something to aspire to.

Now what if we started each day with this same philosophy? I mean what if when we got out of bed and greeted ourselves in the mirror each morning, we actually asked our-selves how we are doing, and then respond-ed, “I am ready for the best day ever!”

Believe it or not, there are some people who wake up expecting the very worst day possible. They believe that only bad things

will happen or situa-tions will be fi lled with gloom and doom. You see these folks in the coffee shop, in the car next to you as you are stuck in traffi c, drop-ping off their kids at school, and anywhere your morning travels might take you. No smiles, kind of terse and grouchy, shoulders slumped, and oozing of negativity.

Here is what I found to be the difference: The people who have

the very best days ever are the people who expect to have the very best day ever. They plan and prepare for happiness and success. And they go about planning and preparing and setting expectations in different ways.

Some people take the time the evening before to write out the events and tasks for the next day so that when they wake up they are ready to roll. Others will wake up earlier than anyone else in the home so they can have a cup of coffee and some quiet time. Others will read, meditate, pray, work out, or participate in a devotional or Bible study

before beginning their day. There are many ways an individual can choose to start their day, and the people who experience the greatest joy and success are those who set their expectations around positive out-comes.

The second thing I see people do after setting positive expectations and being grounded in their commitments to stay-ing positive is that they think through any possible barriers to success. They consider situations or people who may intention-ally or unintentionally disrupt their journey to having the best day ever. And once they know who or what can possibly go wrong, they have a strategy for dealing with those disruptions so that they remain in control and their “best day ever” goes on as planned.

How about you? How do you like to prepare for, plan, and start your day to help make it the best day ever? I would love to hear all of your thoughts at [email protected], and when we expect to have the best day ever, it really will be a better than good week.

QUIET DESPERATION

Getting youths active boosts national security In early October, schools across Colorado

and nationwide are holding events for Walk and Bike to School Day. As a retired general and a medical doctor, I can tell you that increasing physical activity is vitally impor-tant for our children’s health and our future national security.

Obesity is the leading medical reason why 70 percent of young people in Colorado are ineligible for military service. In addition to affecting recruiting, obesity has risen 61 percent among active duty service members since 2002 and the Department of Defense spends more than $1.5 billion every year on obesity-related health care and costs to replace unfi t personnel.

During my military career, I was a com-bat medic and deputy director of the mili-tary’s health care system. I saw fi rsthand the musculoskeletal injuries that prevent a truly alarming number of active duty personnel from being deployed. More than 60 percent of non-deployed active duty service mem-bers experience a sprain, stress fracture, or other related injury each year due in part to

poor nutrition and exer-cise habits. The military is spending billions treat-ing these injuries among active duty personnel and veterans.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that we know what Colo-rado’s policymakers and communities can do to help solve these problems. A recent report from the national security organiza-tion Mission: Readiness, of which I am a member, outlined a three-part plan to put young Coloradans on a healthy track for life.

Step one is to build communities that foster physical activities, like biking and walking. Research shows that simply walk-ing or biking to and from school can add an average of 16 minutes of physical activity to a child’s day, just over one-quarter of the daily amountrecommended by experts. Unfortunately, only 20 percent of adolescents in Colorado walk or bike to school.

Fortunately, we have a great success story

here in Colorado that deserves contin-ued support. Within the past decade, Safe Routes to School and walking school bus programs in Colorado have helped hun-dreds of schools increase the number of children who walk and bike to and from school by improving sidewalks, bicycle paths, intersections, traffi c signals and other infrastructure, as well as by enlisting parents to participate.

State leaders must prioritize funding for safer and better biking and walking infra-structure so that more children can have an “active commute” to school and more opportunities for physical activity in their communities.

Step two is to build physical activity into the school day. Physical education — PE — is an important source of physical activ-ity for children. Yet PE is now absent from many schools and limited in others. Fifty-six percent of adolescents in Colorado report receiving no PE in an average week, which

by a parachute jump by airmen. Par-ents seemed more impressed with the helicopter than the Scouts did, but there were some Scouts proudly clutching the signature of an airman. The majority of the young Scouts were more excited by the weapons experiences, from BB guns to archery.

As the Scouts trudged back to their campsites for dinner on Sept. 19, fatigue from the day’s adventures was evident in their step, but their spirits were high as they shared highlights of their day with each other. All of the Scouts were antici-pating the evening program and a special event to follow.

That evening featured two inspira-tional speakers, Matt Moniz, a 17-year-old Eagle Scout from Boulder who spoke about an aborted attempt to climb Mount Everest when the earthquake hit in Nepal and his subsequent efforts to aid others, and Erik Weihenmayer, the only blind person to ever climb Mount Everest.

After the regularly scheduled evening events, things really started popping. Nearly 3,000 Scouts set out to break the world record for the greatest number of people to simultaneously pop sealed-air bubble wrap for two minutes — two minutes that will now live in infamy for the 2015 Camporee Scouts and be spoken of in hushed tones around future camp-fires. Using only hands and feet, the 2,681 children popped the bubbles for two

raucous minutes and broke the record held since August 2014 by a high school in Australia. An official from Guinness

World Records was present to witness the Scouts’ success.

The Denver Area Council sponsors this

event every few years. The last Camporee was in 2012 and the one before that was in 2007.

exciting as they bring new energy to the team,” she said. “It is also a good thing that we have four seniors on the team who are providing superior leadership and they help teach our younger gym-nast the legacy of 10 years of Elizabeth gymnastics.”

She said the athletes are working hard as the team has some very lofty goals for the season. Folmar said the goals are attainable but the time to achieve those goals is limited.

“Our best two events are the vault and the floor exercise,” the coach said. “We have good vaulters and our girls perform good routines in floor exercise competi-tion.”

Gymnastics is growing at Elizabeth, she said.

“The last nine years, we have 12 to 16 on our team, but this year we have 27 gymnasts on our roster,” Folmar said. “I believe next season we will have about 34 on the roster and I expect our team will be

30 or more for the next few years.”Elizabeth’s Erika Freisner said she has

been in gymnastics for more than 12 years and she finds the sport rewarding because as a gymnast you are competing and helping your teammates, but you are also competing as an individual.

“My favorite event is the balance beam,” she said. “The balance beam is hard and I like the event because when you stick your routine it is the best feeling in the world.”

Freisner said her goal for the season is to help her team as much as possible plus she would like to qualify for state even if the team doesn’t make it there.

A gymnastics meet involves four differ-ent competitions, floor exercise, balance beam, uneven parallel bars and vault.

Each meet is an individual and a team competition. Each gymnast strives to win top honors in each event plus each com-petitor earns points that contribute to the team’s score in the competition to win the meet’s first-place trophy.

While some gymnast are specialists in one or two events, there are those who compete in all four events, thus become eligible to be in the running for all-around gymnast honors.

increased the stage restrictions on open fire and open burning.

Heap has moved the county from Stage II restrictions to Stage III restrictions based upon recommendations from local fire chiefs and the office of emergency management.

Stage III restrictions prohibit:• Open burning of any kind.• Outdoor smoking, except smoking

within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diam-eter that is barren or cleared of all flam-mable materials.

• The sale or use of fireworks.• Use of educational rockets.• Use of indoor fireplaces and wood-

burning stoves without an approved chimney spark arrestor.

• Use of recreational motor vehicles without an approved forest service spark arrestor.

For clarification, this includes all out-side barbecues, welding and anything else that can potentially spark a fire.

If you have questions about approved forest service spark arrestors the forest service has a Spark Arrestor Guide online at www.fs.fed.us/t-d/programs/fire/spark/faq.html. The guide provides FAQ about spark arrestors for motor vehicles.

helps to explain why only half of high school students in the state get the recommended hour of daily physical activity.

We must support efforts to increase access to and strengthen the quality of school physical education programs.

In addition to increasing opportunities for physical activity, healthy eating habits

will also help to prevent obesity and provide nutrients that enhance physical activity and healthier bone and muscle growth.

That is why step three is to stay the course on healthier school meals. As a result of updated national nutrition standards for school meals that went into effect in 2012, 100 percent of schools in Colorado are now serving healthier meals that have more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. This is great news for parents who want their kids to eat healthy meals at school and great news for everyone who’s concerned

about the obesity epidemic because many kids get up to half of their daily calories at school.

As Congress considers the future of the National School Lunch Program, I urge Colorado’s congressional delegation to support the updated school nutrition standards and refrain from any attempt to weaken or roll back the current guide-lines.

Healthy eating and exercise habits in childhood lead to healthy habits in

adulthood. That is why it is so important to provide children with healthy school meals and more opportunities for physi-cal activity in school and in the commu-nity. This will ensure that those who want to join the military are fit enough to do so.

No holding back OktoberfestCastle Rock event keeps growing from past years

By Shanna [email protected]

Oktoberfest has been a tradition in Castle Rock for over 10 years, but Kevin Tilson, director of the Castle Rock Down-town Alliance, said that this year’s will be the biggest event yet.

Forty kegs are ordered for the festivi-ties, which is 11 more than last year, and more than double that of three years ago.

“The fall in Colorado is a great time to be outside drinking a beer,” Tilson said, adding that feedback from event attend-ees led to a time change. This year’s event will be held from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 3, to cater to the after-dinner crowd.

In addition to more beer, the event has also grown in space. In previous years, the event has taken place on Second Street by Festival Park. This year, Oktoberfest will span the majority of downtown, creat-ing a T-shape on Wilcox Street from Third Street to Fifth Street and on Fourth Street from Jerry Street to Perry Street.

“It’s a much bigger venue,” Tilson said. “It’s really kinda cool, right on the main street. It’s really gonna be a special event.”

And although beer is the forefront of any Oktoberfest, with the traditional stein hoist competition, there will also be family-friendly activities including face painting, bounce houses, a rock climbing wall, keg bowling, and a human foosball field, which is an inflatable mini soccer field that requires participants to hold onto a rope and act as a human foosball team.

SAFETY KEY TO GOOD TIMES

To encourage getting home safely from the Castle Rock Oktoberfest, there will be designated driver tents set up throughout the event, in which drivers get a special wristband, which entitles them to free water and soda throughout the day. Local downtown businesses will also offer discounts on meals to designated drivers.

In addition, the Medved auto dealership will provide free shuttle service from the event to anyone who lives in Castle Rock.

IF YOU GOWhat: Oktoberfest

When: 1 to 8 p.m. Oct. 3

Where: Wilcox Square area and surround-ing streets in Castle Rock

Cost: Free

Info: Lone Tree Brewing is the primary beer sponsor. There will also be beer from Pikes Peak Brewing, Blue Spruce Brew-ing, Horny Goat Brewing, Barnett and Son Brewing, Living the Dream Brewing Co., Empyrean Brewing Co. and Brewery Rick-oli. The Average German Band will provide entertainment. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets

‘The Intern’ has whole lot of niceness going on Nothing heavy happensas movie fl oats along

By Lindsey Bahr Associated Press

The world of Nancy Meyers sure is beautiful.

But her studied production design and dreamy interiors have become such a focal point that they’ve almost eclipsed her storytelling. It marginalizes what she does, and how she has, from “The Par-ent Trap” to “It’s Complicated,” created her own lovely and implausible cottage industry of movies that are, for the most part, exceedingly pleasant to watch.

She tells stories about divorce, affairs and later-life loves, using wit and humor that is somehow blue and sassy, but also innocent. Meyers is one of the more retro writer-directors working today.

“The Intern,” her fi rst fi lm in six years, is a curious case, melding together those modern retro sensibilities in a way that

even further distances her work from reality. This is not a love story, though. It’s a workplace tale about a smiley, unfl ap-pable 70-year-old retiree Ben (Robert De Niro) who goes to intern for the 30-some-thing CEO of an online retail startup.

With only the most polite issues pep-pering the plot, it’s less a study of gen-erational confl ict and more of a series of loosely connected events about a guard-ian angel sent out of retirement to tell Anne Hathaway that she really can have it all.

Ben’s adjustment to working with all these kids might be the hook, but Jules Ostin (Hathaway) is the centerpiece and heart of the movie. In the past year and a half, she has built an insanely success-ful clothing business from the ground up and is now juggling a kid, her relationship with her stay-at-home husband, and a board of directors who want to replace her with a more seasoned CEO.

She has her quirks, but Jules is neither the prototypical cutesy, clumsy comedy heroine nor the passionless executive

who just needs to loosen up. In fact, Jules isn’t a type at all. Hathaway plays her as serious, wise, playful and insecure. Every time you think she might descend into caricature, Hathaway pulls back and grounds Jules.

Her unusually developed character has the somewhat adverse effect of exaggerat-ing Ben’s one-note, but charming simplic-ity. Ben spent his entire career at a factory that made phone books. He was married, now he’s widowed, retired and bored of it. De Niro plays him as so nice and so cuddly that he’s almost alien. He is the grandpa from “Up” without the edge, here to tell millennial men to stop dressing like little boys, to carry handkerchiefs because ladies cry, to stay at work until the boss leaves, and to talk to, not text, romantic prospects.

Beyond a fl irtation with the offi ce mas-seuse (Rene Russo), Ben has nowhere to grow. He’s set in his perfectly PC retro-modern ways, just there to help everyone — especially Jules.

It’s an odd relationship with few actual revelations. That’s because there’s no big confl ict. Jules says she doesn’t really like old people, and at one point worries that Ben knows too much about her, but those all dissolve without much ceremony.

There are of course some other issues that Jules and Ben must deal with, but even those are minor. Nothing is ever that wrong in the Meyers-verse. It might not be a life you recognize from reality, but is the one that we fantasize about thanks to magazines and movies like this.

It can be cloying at times, but the dis-connected timelessness of it all is all the more reason for Meyers to keep doing her own thing as long as she can. She doesn’t speak to what’s trendy in fi lmmaking. Aside from the technology, “The Intern” could have just as easily existed in 1990.

Still, in keeping everything so polite, “The Intern,” while being a pleasant and watchable movie, is also entirely ephem-eral. Maybe that’s why, like Meyers’ other fi lms, “The Intern” will likely be so re-watchable, too.

ABOUT THE MOVIE“The Intern,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some suggestive content and brief strong language.” Running time: 121 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Trainers keep athletes movingOne of the most important teammembers works from sidelines

By Jim [email protected]

If it hadn’t been for an athletic trainer, Josh Boatright would most likely be dead.

But thanks to Piper Thompson’s knowl-edge and gut instinct, the Legend High School senior saw a doctor who diagnosed a heart condition corrected by surgery.

And today, he’s playing on the defensive line for the Titans’ football team.

“I can’t give her enough praise,” Boatright’s mother, LeAnne, said of Thomp-son. “I love her because she saved my son’s life.”

Thompson is an example of how high school athletic trainers have become more knowledgeable and respected.

All are certified and nearly 70 percent have master’s degrees. Injury prevention, evaluation and rehabilitation are some du-ties, but trainers also follow up on concus-sions, monitor the weather, make sure water is available, help determine whether athletes can return to play and often provide referrals to outside doctors or specialists.

“Athletic training is really a lot more in-volved in education, and the skill set is much higher than people really understand,” said Bridget Younger of Children’s Hospital Colo-rado Sports Medicine program.

Trainers’ roles vary by school district.Douglas County School District hires

its own athletic trainers but contracts with Children’s for assistant trainers. Adams 12 employs head trainers from Children’s. Jefferson County and Elizabeth hire from Panorama Orthopedics and Spine Center in Golden. Littleton Public Schools uses trainers from Physiotherapy Associates of Greenwood Village. Two schools in the Cherry Creek school district hire trainers from Rocky Mountain Youth Hospital, and others employ trainers who are also certified teachers.

Head trainers have to monitor practices, attend as many events as possible — es-pecially football games — and make sure each activity for their school is covered by a trainer from one of the schools competing.

“There is a lot going on,” said Chris Mat-thewson, who has been Ponderosa’s trainer for 23 years. “We just try to be in the middle of it.”

Lindsay Anderson, the head trainer at Ralston Valley, noted that times have changed.

“Sometimes just taping people up is what our profession is known for because we are good at that, but that’s just a piece of what we do,” Anderson said. “The athletic training profession in general has been fighting to be seen as medical professionals and not just somebody that hands out Band-Aids and does basic first aid. Our knowledge is a lot deeper than that.”

Advancements in technology and science mean treatments for injuries are constantly changing.

“There’s a little bit of change every year,” Anderson said. “There is some new science out telling us how we should be treating athletes to give them optimal care.”

Matthewson also has seen the job evolve over the years, particularly with concus-sions.

“We’ve always taken concussions seri-ously, but we have much better manage-ment mainly because people know it and understand it,” he said. “One of the biggest changes is I’m doing more of the rehab in the post-surgical care because health care has gotten to where you have surgery, three or four visits with the PT and then they say off you go. We do a lot of that and kids love it because they get to stay with friends and teammates and not get shipped off to a physical therapist.”

Trainers also have a say about when an athlete can resume play. Sometimes, before making the decision, they consult with coaches and parents.

“Even if a kid comes to me with a doctor’s note and the doctor’s note says he or she can play but I’m not comfortable with that, I can always be more conservative than the doctor’s notes and even be more aggressive,” said Thompson. “If I’m not comfortable, we have a policy set up with our district that al-lows for us to say, ‘No, I’m sorry, you are not ready to play yet.’”

Many schools get help from high school students who obtain clinical hours working with trainers. The students learn skills re-quired to be an athletic trainer and perform duties like retrieving water and hot packs to help trainers.

Heritage High School trainer Rhiannon Oberto worked at Valparaiso and Kent State but prefers the high school level.

“I’m really impressed with high school trainers,” she said. “I guess I did not realize how much more they have to do. I’m not discrediting a university athletic trainer, but they have a huge support system because there are a whole bunch of them in one fa-cility. Here, right now, it’s just me. I love this atmosphere a lot better.”

Legend player has life-saving heart surgeryTitans’ athletic trainer suspected problem

By Jim [email protected]

Senior Josh Boatright collapsed during a Legend High School preseason workout in July. He recovered, and following a team meeting, approached Titans athletic trainer Piper Thompson because his heart was still beating fast.

Thompson suspected something was wrong. She called Boatright’s parents and said their son needed to be referred for treatment.

Four days later, Boatright underwent heart surgery after being diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a rare condition caused by an extra path between the heart’s upper and lower chambers that causes the heart to beat rapidly.

During the follow-up appointment, LeAnne Boatright said, the cardiologist “looked at my son and said, “You need to thank your athletic trainer because she saved your life. After reviewing all the scans and all the tests we did on you, you had maybe one or two more practices and you would have been dead.’ He said that’s how serious his heart was.”

Thompson, a graduate of Douglas County High School, has been the head trainer at Legend since 2008. She has a bachelor’s in sports and exercise science from the University of Northern Colorado. She will be honored for her life-saving ac-tions at an October Douglas County school board meeting.

At the summer workout, Thompson knew it was time to suggest Boatright con-sult an expert.

“His heart was racing real bad and (he) felt like it was beating out of his chest. Something wasn’t right,” she said. “We recognized it, got help and referred him to whom we had to refer him to.”

The 6-foot-1, 288-pound Boatright, who has moved from center to defensive line this season, is on heart medication. He has additional surgery scheduled after the season.

“The surgery was supposed to be an hour, two hours tops,” recalled LeAnne. “My son was on the table for seven hours. His heart started swelling so they had to stop the procedure. So we go back in December, clean everything up and finish up the last 60 percent.”

Boatright said he feels fortunate to be playing football.

“I’m glad Piper was there,” he said. “I’m very blessed.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although practi-cal situations continue to dominate this week, there’s time for the Lamb to indulge in the fun things in life -- like maybe taking a special some-one out for a great evening.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week favors relationships. Take time to renew old ones, and make time to go where new friends can be found. On a more practical note, expect news about a business deal.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You should be see-ing some progress on that new workplace situa-tion. Meanwhile, family matters might demand more attention, and you’ll want to set aside time to deal with them.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A relationship suddenly might present some challenges you never expected. After talking things out, you might want to consider taking some time to as-sess what you’ve learned.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A disappointing re-sponse to a request might dampen the Lion’s spirits. But you might want to ask the reasons behind it. What you learn can be of great impor-tance in a future undertaking.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A once-volatile situation should be settled by now, giv-ing you a chance to refocus on a project you’ve been planning for. Look for an interested party to rally to your support.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A busi-ness matter that unexpectedly turns into a per-sonal situation could create complications. Best to resolve the matter now before too much harm can be done.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Emo-tions can run high when they involve personal matters that no one really wants to talk about. But this could be a good time to create the means to a workable outcome.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A positive response to a workplace request could lead the way to other long-sought chang-es. Congratulations. A personal situation also takes a welcome turn.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Pa-tience pays off, as that once-overwhelming work situation continues to become easier to handle on a one-by-one basis. Look for positive news from a colleague.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It might be a good idea to take more time to reas-sess your next move in working out a complex situation. You could benefit from a new perspec-tive on the matter.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might want to consider making time to discuss a change of plans with everyone concerned. Be prepared to explain your actions. Also be pre-pared to listen to alternatives.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a strong sense of what is right, and you try to work from that foun-dation. Friends see you as reliable.
