Democrat flips Centennial state House seat Tom Sullivan, father of Aurora-theater shooting victim, focuses on guns, mental health after defeating Cole Wist BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Six years after his son died in a shooting that shook the country, Tom Sullivan is taking his hopes to the Colorado state House, eyeing gun vio-

lence and mental health as top issues to tackle. “I would have been happy just being a dad,” said Sullivan, a 62-year-old who lives in Centennial. But the 2012 Aurora theater shooting upended his life when his son, Alex

Sullivan, was killed on his 27th birthday. Tom Sullivan’s voice began resonating with people after that, he said. “You owe it to the community to step up and do your part, and this is what Sullivan I can do,” Sullivan said. Sullivan, a Democrat, won the seat in House District 37, which encompasses central and east

Centennial, along with nearby unincorporated Arapahoe County areas and the Town of Foxfield. He unseated incumbent Rep. Cole Wist, a Republican who has served as assistant minority leader in the Legislature. With about 54 percent of the vote to Wist’s 46 percent as of about 9:30 p.m. Nov. 8, Sullivan pulled out an unexpected win in a traditionally Republican district. SEE HOUSE, P4

Coffman’s reign ends amid Trump backlash CD6 one of many offices flipped by pro-Democrat wave in Colorado BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a swath of suburban Denver, Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman survived a redrawing of his district’s map seven years ago that brought more ethnic diversity into electoral play. A few years later, he fended off a challenge by a former state House speaker. Next, he kept a former state Senate leader at bay, cruising to victory in 2016 even as district voters supported Hillary Clinton by a wide margin. In a district known for Coffman the deep immigrant culture in Aurora, Coffman had appeared near-invincible, but his hold on the seat ended with the Nov. 6 election. And the five-term congressman’s kryptonite, political analysts say, may have Crow been President Donald Trump. “No other Republican could have won and held onto that district like Mike did,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. “But this time the anti-Trump sentiment was just too deep, too strong.” Coffman has clashed with Trump more than a few times, and the president expressed little concern for the congressman’s downfall. “Too bad, Mike,” Trump said at a news conference Nov. 7. Coffman’s loss to newcomer Jason Crow, an attorney and military veteran, came amid Colorado’s manifestation of the much-mentioned blue wave, a predicted flurry of Democratic wins amid backlash against the president. Democrats swept the high-profile state offices, electing an openly gay man — current U.S. Rep. Jared Polis —

to a governor’s seat for the first time in the nation’s history. Coffman couldn’t be reached for comment by Colorado Community Media, but he offered thoughts in the concession speech that capped his nationally watched race, the Associated Press reported. “In the end,” Coffman said, “the waves were too big for this ship to stay afloat.” Writing on the wall Crow led Coffman by about 11 percentage points, about 54.1 to 42.9, in unofficial results the night of Nov. 8. That margin surpassed Wadhams’ expectations, but the loss wasn’t a shock, he said. “Because again, Trump was so unpopular in the 6th District,” said Wadhams, who noted it was clear in the early analysis of Colorado’s ballots that Republicans wouldn’t have the advantage they had in past midterms. In early voting during the 2014 midterms, about 110,000 more Republicans than Democrats voted, according to Wadhams. But this year, Democrats held about a 7,000-ballot lead just after midnight on Election Day, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. That gap widened to nearly 20,000 votes as of Nov. 8. What’s more, unaffiliated voters — who ended up outvoting Democrats by about 30,000 votes — showed as the largest voting bloc, and they leaned blue. “We saw in the primary (election in June) that unaffiliateds took the Democratic ballot over the Republican ballot 60 to 40,” Wadhams said. Unaffiliated voters showed a lean in the Nov. 6 election, too, he added. “We’ve never seen that kind of turnout, and they definitely tilted toward Democrats,” Wadhams said. Matter of immigration In the district’s anchor, Aurora, about one in five people was foreignborn, and Trump’s views on immigration may have hurt Coffman, said Robert Preuhs, political science professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “A lot of the administration’s message leading up to election had been immigration and stirring that level

of fear, that immigrant communities essentially saw that and literally saw red, and turned their vote to blue,” Preuhs guessed. “I think that’s a big part of it.” Trump made a caravan of Central American migrants making its way through Mexico a focal point in the weeks leading up to the election, claiming the group includes criminals and people from the Middle East, national outlets reported. Publicschool students speak more than 160 languages in Aurora, a place where voters strongly favor Democrats. Both Coffman and Crow call the city home. “I don’t know if (Coffman) would have lost if there wasn’t that substantial immigrant community in his district, or if there was not a blue wave,” Preuhs said. “The combination of the two really led to it.” In addition to Democratic stronghold Aurora, the district includes south suburbs like Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch, which have traditionally voted Republican, and to the north, Brighton and part of Thornton, which are part of decidedly blue Adams County. Aurora accounts for about 44 percent of the district’s roughly 815,000 people. The 6th District once comprised only a portion of Aurora and was mainly made up of GOP strongholds, encompassing almost the entire south metro area, including Castle Rock on the south end and Elbert County to the east. But after a redrawing of the lines in 2011, the district includes Aurora and stretches north all the way to parts of Adams County. Gone from the district are Elbert County and Douglas County, except for Highlands Ranch. Coffman has taken a different tone on immigration since the district changed, Wadhams has said. He’s been proactive in reaching out to minority communities in the district. The past two Democrats who ran against Coffman were Andrew Romanoff in 2014 and Morgan Carroll in 2016, both of whom were established politicians after having served in the state Legislature. Romanoff served as state House speaker and Carroll as state Senate president. In a district where Clinton beat Trump by 9 points, Coffman still won

his race in 2016 by 8 points. Many voted for Clinton while also voting for Coffman, Wadhams has said. Coffman, a military veteran, was first elected to the seat in 2008. Larger picture The Cook Political Report, a prominent, nonpartisan newsletter that analyzes elections, listed CD6 as one of 30 toss-ups in the country — and the only one in Colorado — in September. The question on the national radar was if the district would finally flip blue, given its demographic makeup. The Democrats’ chances of taking control of the U.S. House on Nov. 6 were expected to be reflected in this race’s outcome, local pundits had said. “The Democrats took the House but not by a huge margin,” Wadhams said. “Republicans gained seats in the U.S. Senate. Nationally, it was more of a mixed result, unlike in Colorado, where it was clearly a Democratic landslide.” Crow sought to capitalize on backlash toward the president and tried to paint Coffman as being in lockstep with Trump and out of touch with the people of the district, a charge his campaign vehemently denied. Tyler Sandberg, Coffman’s campaign manager, said previously that Coffman has broken with Trump on issues like health care and sanctioning Russia. Underscoring Trump’s influence, Coffman said the race for his seat was a “referendum on the president,” the Associated Press reported. In his concession speech, Coffman touched on the demographics of his district and said spending time with diverse communities made him a better congressman and a better person, the AP reported. Crow, who couldn’t be reached for comment after the election, looked to sow unity in his victory speech, praising Coffman as a hard worker who served his country well. He also touched on diversity in his address, calling it an attribute that makes the country strong. “Americans value and celebrate our diversity,” Crow said. “We are more than just a melting pot of cultures — we are a vibrant melting pot of ideas.”

Democrats take sheriff, clerk and assessor seats Some races remain too close to call as votes continue to be counted BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s “blue wave” that saw Democrats elected to a wide range of posts statewide extended to Arapahoe County, with Democrats upsetting incumbent Republicans in the sheriff, county clerk and assessor races in the Nov. 6 election. New sheriff Democratic challenger Tyler Brown unseated Republican Dave Walcher as sheriff. Brown held 51.2 percent of the vote, compared to Walcher’s 43.5 percent, in ballots counted as of the evening of Nov. 8. Libertarian candidate Eric Mulder received 5.3 percent of the vote. Brown, a Centennial resident who is currently a police officer in the

HOUSE FROM PAGE 1

Wist congratulated Sullivan and wished him well, he said Nov. 8. Wist believes the race between Republican Rep. Mike Coffman and Democrat Jason Crow in U.S. Congressional District 6 — which contains his state House district — influenced his contest. “The bottom line is, the voters have spoken,” Wist said. “I think the result in the Coffman-Crow race created a difficult hurdle for us to clear. I think, two years ago, if you looked at the results, even though Hillary Clinton won my district and CD6, I won,” and Coffman won. Wist Wist deferred to political pundits to decipher the trends — local analysts say backlash against President Donald Trump made the race a steep climb for Coffman. The intensity of opposition to Trump likely played a role in both Coffman’s and Wist’s races, said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. He chalked it up to “the high turnout of unaffiliated voters that were voting, once again, anti-Trump,” Wadhams said. “They defeated Cole Wist and almost defeated Susan Beckman,” the incumbent in the adjacent House District 38 in Littleton and west Centennial. ‘Taken community for granted’ Sullivan ran unsuccessfully in 2016 against state Sen. Jack Tate in Senate District 27 — an area with similar boundaries that extends farther west to the Littleton border — and he said this time around, district residents voted against national political devel-

tiny town of Mountain View near I-70 and Sheridan Boulevard, said he wants sheriff ’s deputies to be seen as community partners. “We’ve gotten away from that,” Brown said by phone on Election Night. “The issue is staffing — deputies are stretched thin, and they spend much of their time simply responding to Brown calls for service. I want to bring up staffing so they can be out there connecting with the community.” Brown said he also wants to change the way the county deals with the opioid epidemic, and shift priorities toward addiction counseling and mental health care over punishment. “I want to work with the district attorney’s office, too, so that we don’t end up punishing people repeatedly for one incident,” Brown said. “If you get incarcerated for opioid possession, that’s a felony, and now when you get out, you’re going to have a hard time finding a job or a place to

live. That exacerbates the recidivism rate.” Brown praised Walcher for increasing the number of school resource officers deployed to Arapahoe County schools, and said he’d like to continue that trend. Walcher declined to comment.

opments they were disappointed in. “The Republican Party has taken this community for granted,” said Sullivan, who said he and his campaign knocked on thousands of doors in the district. “They expect these people to vote just by the letter next to the names.” The bulk of House District 37 falls within Centennial, where 33.6 percent of voters are Republican, 27.5 percent are Democrats and 37.6 are unaffiliated, according to current data from the county clerk and recorder’s office. Contrast that with August 2016, when Republicans made up 38.3 percent, Democrats 28 percent and unaffiliateds 32.5 percent, according to the office. The shift follows a trend across the Denver metro area of unaffiliated registration climbing in recent years. But despite that pattern, the district has been reliably Republican for years. Mary Ellen Wolf, chair of the Arapahoe County Democrats, said Sullivan’s previous run in 2016 helped him gain ground in the area. He “was familiar to voters,” Wolf said. “He is an excellent candidate, with a compelling personal story, experience talking to these voters, and knew and addressed their concerns.” Sullivan’s win came alongside the “blue wave” washing over Colorado, both at the state level with victories for governor, attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer, and also taking the Arapahoe County assessor, clerk and sheriff positions. In 2016, Beckman blew away her Democratic House challenger by more than 15 percentage points — this year, she was up by just 1 percentage point. Democrats had seen a surge of enthusiasm since the first Women’s March in 2017, an event largely in protest of the president, Wolf said. “The blue wave hit Arapahoe and motivated a lot of new activists with energy and enthusiasm who worked for the Crow campaign or our district races,” Wolf said. “The results in CD6

exceeded our expectations, as did our results with county offices.” Rich Sokol, chair of the Arapahoe County Republicans, said the blue wave hit harder than Republicans expected. “I can’t imagine a scenario in which our county Sheriff Dave Walcher loses, or any of our county officials,” Sokol said. “They are so, in my opinion, better qualified than their opponents, but this wasn’t a year where qualifications, experience and know-how mattered as much as it usually does.” Coffman losing, along with the county officials, was a bitter blow, Sokol said. He believes voters will swing back toward Republicans because “our principles are better for most Americans,” Sokol said. “I think we all realize that for many people, voting for Congress is a vote for how you feel about national politics, independent of the candidate’s own performance and policies,” Sokol said. “But I think this year it filtered down not just to congressional races, but to every race.”

Assessor race The often little-noticed office of county assessor also saw a surprise to many, with incumbent Republican Marc Scott ousted by newcomer Democrat PK Kaiser. Kaiser, of Aurora, said his campaign worked to reach out to “diverse communities” who have seen less engagement with county officials. “We’ve never seen town hall meetings or regular meetings where people can ask questions of their assessor,” Kaiser Kaiser said by phone. “We want to be more present in the community — to get out of our office where

‘Red flag’ an obstacle Wist drew the ire of a gun-rights group called Rocky Mountain Gun Owners this year for supporting a “red-flag” bill that would have made it easier to confiscate firearms from someone considered a danger to themselves or others. “Contact state Rep. Cole Wist to urge him to apologize for sponsoring gun confiscation,” the group wrote on its website. It called him a “mole in the ranks” in a Facebook post. Similar laws have been introduced in nearly 30 states since the Parkland, Florida, killings, with lawmakers in Florida, Maryland and Vermont passing legislation. In Colorado, the bill drew support from Republican Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, after a man shot and killed a sheriff ’s deputy in Highlands Ranch on New

people can interact with us.” Kaiser also said he’d like to see the office, which evaluates real estate values to assign property tax bills, beef up its online presence. “The Arapahoe County Assessor’s website offers less information than those of surrounding counties, and I want to address that,” said Kaiser, who has worked in the real estate and finance industries. Kaiser said he’d also like to work with the secretary of state to ensure that his office is keeping close track of newly incorporated home-based businesses, to make sure everyone is in compliance with tax law. Scott, who held 46.3 percent of the vote to Kaiser’s 53.7 percent as of Nov. 8, wasn’t pleased about the outcome. “I don’t feel good about losing,” Scott said by phone on Election Night. “My opponent has no assessment experience. I have decades of experience. The voters didn’t seem to care one way or another.” SEE DEMOCRATS, P6

Year’s Eve. 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, a Republican, also supported the measure. The RMGO did not respond for comment on Wist’s defeat in the election. Wist said he’s proud of his record in the Legislature. “Honestly, I didn’t hear a lot about the red flag law on the campaign trail,” Wist said, adding it remains to be seen what happens in the next legislative session. “I stand by the decision to run the bill.” The proposal makes Sullivan’s list of top priorities, as he mentioned to people during the campaign, he said. “My plan is to run it day one if they let me because that’s going to save lives,” Sullivan said. ‘Need to do better’ People who were affected by the Aurora shooting still live in Sullivan’s district, he said. “These people went to school with Alex, they worked with Alex or they knew a friend who was there that night,” Sullivan said. “They’re living in this community. And they know us.” Sullivan hopes he can muster enough support in the Legislature to act to reduce suicide deaths by firearms and other gun violence. Banning bump stocks — devices that alter the firing ability of semi-automatic firearms — also makes his list, along with bolstering mental health resources in general. “Instead of talking about it, we need to take some action. We need to get mental health counselors, resources, into schools,” Sullivan said. “We’ve got 9- and 10-year-old kids taking their own lives. We need to do better. We can’t wait until after something happens.” People need to address the stigma surrounding mental health issues and engage children, Sullivan said. “Let them know there’s someone to talk to,” he said, “and someone that will listen.”

Close races Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane conceded his re-election bid on Nov. 9, as updated vote tallies the evening of Nov. 8 showed Democratic challenger Joan Lopez up by more than 5,000 votes, giving her a nearly 2 percentage point lead in the race. Crane had held a slight lead up to that point. Lopez, reached by email on Nov. 10, said in a statement: “It is such an honor to be elected as your next clerk and recorder. You placed your faith and trust in me and this is a responsibility that I do not take lightly. I will listen more than I talk and I will change what doesn’t work, but Lopez most of all I will strive to represent you with the utmost decency and professionalism.” Serving as Clerk and Recorder was an honor, Crane said. “I’m disappointed, but I’m so proud of the record of my office and my team over the last five years,” Crane said. “It’s too bad people let partisan politics come into a nonpartisan office.” Crane cited achievements during his tenure: becoming the first

New Interatrial Shunt Device available for diastolic heart failure patients at South Denver Cardiology Associates SPONSORED CONTENT The South Denver Heart Center in Littleton is the only place in Colorado where patients suffering from diastolic heart failure, also known as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), have potential hope in a new investigational device known as the Corvia® InterAtrial Shunt Device (IASD®). Dr. Ajay Yadlapati and South Denver Cardiology Associates have been approved to take part in the REDUCE LAP-HF II Clinical Study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the IASD System II to reduce elevated left Dr. Ajay Yadlapati atrial pressure in patients with HFpEF or mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF). The InterAtrial Shunt Device (IASD®), also known as the Corvia® Atrial Decompression System, is the world’s first transcatheter device designed to treat HFpEF/HFmrEF. After creating a small opening in the atrial septum, the implant is deployed, forming a passage between the left and right atria that enables the left atrium to decompress, at rest and during physical activity, with the aim of lowering left atrial pressure. By facilitating continuous and dynamic decompression of the left atrium, the Corvia System aims

to improve heart failure symptoms and quality of life, decrease heart failure hospitalization rates, and reduce the overall cost burden of managing heart failure patients. Yadlapati said doctors have had a hard time finding treatment for this type of heart failure and related issues because medications don’t usually work. Diastolic heart failure means the heart is pumping, but doesn’t relax enough between beats to fill completely, causing blood to backup in the lungs resulting in symptoms of heart failure. “This device actually takes the burden off the left side of the heart by shifting a small volume of blood to the right,” Yadlapati said. “With obesity and diabetes cases on the rise, we are seeing more patients admitted into the hospital each

year with heart failure. The IASD is the first novel device with promising data in decreasing the mortality rate, and we have seen the hospital re-admittance rate decrease in prior studies.” The IASD, from Corvia Medical, is still in trial stages, but being able to take part in what could become a groundbreaking treatment option is a great opportunity for the South Denver Heart Center. The next closest heart center participating in the REDUCE LAP-II study is in Utah, making this a huge step forward for patients suffering from heart failure in Colorado. The technology is still very new. In fact, the first patient in the U.S. to have the IASD implanted was in 2016. Yadlapati said even if the promising results allow the technology to be fast-tracked, it’s still some time before it will receive approval

from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used outside of clinical trials on a national scale. That means only designated clinical trial centers such as the South Denver Heart Center can use the technology. “This treatment option is truly a step forward,” Yadlapati said. “We are seeing a patient’s breathing improve. We are seeing overall health improve. For patients where we’ve had very few treatment options in the past, we are seeing an increase in energy.” REDUCE LAP-HF II isn’t the only clinical trial the South Denver Heart Center is taking part in. At any given time, Yadlapati said the dedicated heart failure clinic is participating in more than 30 clinical trials. “We are always trying to take part in treatment options that no one else is doing,” Yadlapati said. “We want to be able to offer our patients the best options that treat the symptoms and bring positive results.” Learn more about South Denver Cardiology Associates and the South Denver Heart Center by visiting the website at https://www.southdenver.com/.

Voters reject statewide education funding measure Supporters are hopeful to spark ongoing conversations BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many educators across Colorado believe voters missed an opportunity to support students when they voted down Amendment 73, a constitutional amendment that would have instituted a graduated income tax increase on individuals earning more than $150,000 a year and increased the corporate income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 6 percent. “The loss of Amendment 73 is heartbreaking,” said Angela Anderson, a social studies teacher at Bear Creek High School, part of Jefferson County

Public Schools. “I feel like the voters in Colorado support our schools and education, but we can’t fund our schools on gratitude. My students are worth the investment, and I am determined to keep going in order for them to have a fully funded public education.” Members of the Douglas County Federation of Teachers, the teachers’ union, felt the same way. “Colorado has chronically underfunded our schools even as we have a strong economy,” said Kallie Leyba, president of the federation. “We are very concerned about what the implications for Douglas County will be, as well as the implications for districts across our state … Colorado cannot afford to continue to underfund PK-12 education without hurting our community and our economy.” About 55 percent of Colorado voters

said no to Amendment 73 in the Nov. 6 election, according to results posted Nov. 8. In the extended Denver metro area, only Denver, Broomfield and Boulder counties passed the amendment. The measure, which would have brought about $1.6 billion to school districts throughout the state, also aimed to created a fixed residential property tax rates at 7 percent, preventing school districts from falling further behind in funding due to the Gallagher Amendment. Supporters of the measure said funding shortfalls — largely blamed on the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR — have resulted in educators leaving the profession, vacant teaching positions across the state and fewer experienced professionals in classrooms. But Jesse Mallory, the state director of Americans for Prosperity, an or-

ganization that advocates for conservative causes, said Coloradans were rightly leery of a large tax increase without guaranteed results. “The Legislature should instead look at ways to increase funding by cutting wasteful spending, ending fraud and abuse, and eliminating handouts and tax loopholes for powerful and well-connected special interests,” Mallory said in a news release. Education leaders in Littleton Public Schools take the failure of the measure as a learning experience. “Tax increases are difficult to pass,” said Brian Ewert, LPS superintendent, whose district saw a bond measure pass by a wide margin on Nov. 6. “We need to step back and look at what voters told us.” SEE EDUCATION, P17

Retired Marine Col. Richard Swedberg, left, reads prepared remarks beside Littleton VFW Post Cmdr. Joe Leber. DAVID GILBERT BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They are older men now, their beards white and their shoulders drooped. But when Littleton’s veterans stood at attention and saluted their nation’s flag on Veterans Day, in their eyes burned the steely gaze of the warriors they once were. Only a handful braved the snow whipping around the Littleton World War II Memorial in Ketring Park on Nov. 11. The snow prompted the event’s hosts, VFW Post 4666 and American Legion Post 103, to cancel the planned bagpipe ensemble and 21-gun salute. And yet, Sunday marked a century to the day since the armistice that ended World War I. The soft blanket of snow offered a tribute of its own, its muffling stillness commemorating the day the guns of Europe fell silent. Snowflakes swirling about the epaulets of his dress blues, retired Marine Col. Richard Swedberg called upon the almighty to bless the men and women who answered their country’s call. “We thank you so much for each one of these men and women who served

our country in time of peace and time of war,” Swedberg said. “We thank you for those serving today, and for the honor, glory and loyalty of those who serve in uniform.” Appreciating the freedom secured through sacrifice must extend beyond Veterans Day, said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman in prepared remarks. “Heroes pass, time pushes new headlines, and we move through our days, months and years,” Brinkman said. “Ceremonies are important, but our gratitude has to be more than once a year. We honor these men and women mostly by living well.” Perhaps the morning’s most stirring remarks came from a man now long gone: Pat Hannon, a young Marine from Littleton who was killed in Vietnam in 1966. Swedberg read a brief poem Hannon wrote just months before he was killed by small arms fire in Quang Nam Province at age 20. The final lines read: “If my time is here to be, I ask a favor from you to me. Answer my one and only plea: Keep America free.”

Holiday bludgeon can lead to high dudgeon

t is the first of November. I am braced for what is about to happen, against my wishes and against my will. My belief is that it comes earlier every year as an antidote to reality, as a form of comfort food in the face of the news that, day after day, is harsh and abrasive on our delicate systems, especially mine.

This will be Harry’s first true Christmas. I’ve warned him. To give you an example: the Hallmark Channel began its uninterrupted Christmas movie marathon last month. Home shopping channels have had holiday-themed must-haves since September. Now that Halloween is behind

us, and with only Thanksgiving on the horizon, which involves no history of gift exchanges or baleful music, the coast is clear for merchants. mostly, to take over where exasperating political campaigns left off, and inundate every corner with solicitations. And holiday music. Some of it conducted by chipmunks.

What was once a week, two at the most, of observation and anticipation, has become a quarter of the annum, and God forbid (he said) that you are an atheist, or someone who simply prefers to contemplate certain things very privately. SEE SMITH, P13

This will prove to be a good exercise for you to understand what you have and where everything is, and to keep the vital information organized. I recommend starting with medical because often it is a health issue that causes a family member to go in search of the Book of Important Stuff (BIS). List doctors, health insurance, and medical history. Include any recent diagnoses, lifethreatening allergies or illnesses and a list of medications you take. This is a good place to keep your Advanced Medical Directive, name your health care agent and provide a copy of your living will. Next, include the following items from your financial plan: • Your financial planner’s name, phone number and email address.

• Your monthly expenses and net worth statement listing assets and liabilities. Include loan and credit card information and online bill pay. • Titles to the house, cars and other property; bank accounts, CDs and savings bonds. • List your investment accounts. Include your brokerage accounts, retirement assets, any annuities or pensions and 529 plans. • Last year’s tax return along with your accountant’s contact information and any estimated taxes you may owe. • Insurance policies such as life, disability and long-term care. Provide any agent information. Make sure you include password information and digital access to any social media or online access to accounts. Include a section of important documents such as passports, a copy of your driver’s license, birth and marriage certificates. Make note of any memberships,

Local is big. You’re local. We’re local. We proudly publish 20 local newspapers & websites across the front range including:

season tickets, or ongoing expenses that should be canceled, such as AAA, EZ Pass or automatic investments or distributions.Next, provide your complete estate plan including your will, trust, powers of attorney, health care agents (primary and contingent) living will, beneficiaries, guardians, trustees, favorite charities, funeral arrangements and final wishes. Last, but not least, list your wishes for all of your stuff. Others may not know about certain jewelry, furniture or dishes that have been in the family for five generations. List the people you think will enjoy having these items, so they don’t accidentally end up in the trash. This is also a good place to give permission to get rid of some items, so others don’t feel guilty about disposing of certain things.Make certain all the documents you are using to create your Book of Important Stuff are current. This can be a good reminder to get some things updated.

Now you are ready for the cloud. A binder is great, but can burn down with the house or get lost or misplaced. It will be easier to create a secure vault and upload all the information and replace it with current electronic statements as needed. Make sure someone knows how to access this and other important digital files. Now after all of that good work, you deserve an extra piece of pumpkin pie.

in knots Therapists offer tips for dealing with holiday-season stress BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever you and your family celebrate is right around the corner. The holidays are supposed to bring a light of happiness to life with traditions, food, gifts, relaxation and — whether you like it or not — family. Maybe seeing your family isn’t a problem, and family holiday gatherings are something that you look forward to each year. It’s not like that for everyone, though, and seeing the family during the holidays can be a stressful time for plenty of Americans. We talked to three licensed family therapists about how to deal with stress that family can bring during the holidays. Whether you’re preparing to deal with family members whom you don’t see often, or to deal with family members who may have strong opinions that differ from yours, these therapists have pointers to make things easier as the holidays approach. Dr. Reo Leslie “You must’ve been watching some movies,” said Leslie as he chuckles over the phone when asked about his tips for dealing with family holiday gatherings. Leslie is full of knowledge about the subject, and he has the credentials to show it. The licensed marriage and family therapist founded the Colorado School for Family Therapy, a nonprofit organization and school that educates counselors, clinical supervisors, licensure candidates, psychotherapists and ministers.

Therapist Cory Reid-Vanas suggests treating difficult family as an opportunity. JOSEPH RIOS

Leslie’s first message to those who are dreading spending time with their family is to determine how long the interaction is going to be in order to better prepare yourself for what you’re getting into. His second message to those who are stressed about family gatherings? You’re not obligated to participate in family functions. “Family systems are really good at initiating emotions like shame and guilt, but you don’t have to buy into that. You don’t want to harm your stress and mental health,” Leslie said. “A lot of my clients choose not to participate in the holiday family situations. It’s harmful emotionally to go into bad family situations.” For those who are worried about political discussions at the holiday dinner table, Leslie has a simple suggestion — don’t participate in it. “If uncle Joe is a Democrat and aunt Sally is a Republican, you don’t want to discuss politics close to the turkey knives. Suspend that around the holiday time. There is no need to argue your opinion,” said Leslie. “Normally, expressing your opinion is important, but none of that needs to happen over the holiday dinner. Being with the family around the holidays is like moving into an alternative universe. You have to suspend reality for the time of the activity.”

Letha Atwater Letha Atwater is soft-spoken and well-educated about coping with family holiday gatherings. She starts off a conversation about the subject with a similar suggestion that Leslie made — be prepared. “One of the biggest things is being able to plan ahead for knowing that person (whom you don’t want to see) is going to be there,” said Atwater, direcAtwater tor of clinical family therapy for Counseling Center of Colorado LLC. Atwater’s suggestion for planning ahead involves having an escape plan. She said that having an escape plan can come in handy if nothing is going the way you want at a family holiday gathering. That escape plan can even be just going outside and taking a walk to separate yourself from a family member who is giving you issues. Atwater emphasized how impactful relaxation techniques like taking deep breaths can be if someone is giving you anxiety. She also suggested using positive imagery as a coping mechanism, like imagining that you’re on a beach in Hawaii.

hen most people see red carpets, they’re on television and full of recognizable faces from the worlds of entertainment or sports. Most of us will never get to walk one, have our photos taken and answer questions from the press. But thanks to the Denver Film Festival, which hosted its 41st iteration Oct. 31 through Nov. 11, local actors, directors, writers, producers and others in the industry based in the metro area had the chance to do just that outside of the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Most, like producer Anthony Cross, used the opportunity to not only speak about their work, but champion the city and state’s film scene — a scene that has been growing in recent COMING years. ATTRACTIONS “Film here in not just a stagnant art form. It is a living, breathing thing,” Cross explained. “It is important we make it something that is worthwhile and accessible to Clarke Reader everybody.” This year’s festival included more than 200 screenings, from three-to-five-minute short films to feature-length titles that will soon be mainstays during awards season in just a few months. There were documentaries, spotlights on the films of Hungary and the United Kingdom and even music videos. “Our audiences have become really good at trying new things as part of the festival, which is pretty unique,” said Andrew Rodgers, Denver Film Society executive director. The aim of such a wide variety of offerings is not only to entertain and enlighten, but to inspire filmmakers of all ages to tell their stories. “It’s unbelievable to see how much the festival has grown over the past 41 years, and now we’re working on building up a younger audience,” said Ron Henderson, Denver Film Society and Festival founder. I picked three movies from the eclectic lineup that I think you should make a point to spend time with when they come to a screen, large or small, near you.

Last year, one of our readers had initially taken a little exception with a column I had written about gratitude. He had recently lost his spouse, and he was also diagnosed with an illness. He shared with me that he chose not to send me the email he had written, but he kept it in his draft messages. After he read it a few times and made some edits and changes, he found himself changing the tone and meaning of his message completely. You see, he initially was angry and upset and was going to send me a message that was not very nice. But as he read his own words, and thought about it more and more, he started thinking about all of the people who stood by him ++ during his wife’s illness. He thought about his family and friends that were taking care of him now, and he thought about the incredible job he held for more than 30 years and how proud he was of his accomplishments and all the people that contributed to

In the subject line were these words, “The Spirit of Thanksgiving.” He encouraged me to never stop beating the drum of gratitude and appreciation, because, “Some of us get so focused on ourselves and our own problems, that we have forgotten all of the things we have been blessed with throughout our lives.” So how about you?

No. My grocery emporium is loading up with absolutely appalling décor, and I am counting the days until the already awful music is replaced by seasonal music, most of it sounding like an anesthetic. Some people like it. The thought that some might not is not a participant. The majority gets its wish. But there is one (at least) in every crowd, and I am that one. There is no subtlety left anywhere. This is not the United Zen of America. If you want to hear Andy Williams around every corner, so be it. Even my beloved classical music station will turn on me soon. If this sounds like Scrooge is afoot, he’s not. Am I a curmudgeon? Yes. Am I a wet blanket? Possibly. My adage is this, tried and true: “There’s a time and place for everything.” Understandably, when it comes to money, the lines of distinction are blurred, and what started as a religious holiday has turned into a greedy realm of merchandising, with a playlist that includes Gene Autry and Jimmy Boyd. Boyd’s recording of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” was recorded in 1952 when he was only 13.

The record was condemned by the Roman Catholic Church in Boston. Because it combined kissing with Christmas. Oh, brother. Boyd traveled to Boston, met with the Archdiocese, and the ban was lifted. Whatever subtlety there was in any design, in any event, in any production, is gone. There is hoopla instead. A football team might enter the field through manufactured fog and fireworks. There is even a Red Carpet in front of an award for Best Supporting Actor Supporting a Supporting Actor. There is so much rancor in America right now, and daily events that depress the heart and soul, that relief of any kind is understandable. However, the bombardment, attending to a majority perception, only adds to the dismay. Once upon a time, I drank my way through this time of year, and came out of it on the other side. Others do the same. Rehab enrollment spikes in January. There is a great consolation prize: My favorite author wrote something I read every late December, with unsurpassed character and setting depictions. Dickens.

or who increases your stress level, can be an opportunity to practice self-care. Part of practicing self-care includes getting rest through doing things you enjoy, practicing better nutrition and getting exercise. All of those things are great methods for dealing with stress that the holidays and family can bring on, according to Reid-Vanas. “You are going to experience stress. The goal isn’t to control stress. The goal is to manage stress to minimize it so that you can enjoy your holiday,” ReidVanas said. Reid-Vanas has other methods for dealing with stress that family can create during the holidays. He calls them “plug ins” and “plug outs.” Plugging in is about connecting with yourself and focusing on your values and priorities. Plugging out is about connecting with “the external,” and that involves everything from people and the natural world. “I think that with how our world is set up, holidays can be stressful around expectations of spending time with family, preparing meals, or purchasing gifts. Stress levels can easily go up,” said Reid-Vanas. “We all have family members. Families are complex. They’re both difficult and beautiful all in the same sentence.”

“People don’t know what is going on in your mind. Sometimes you really have to take yourself out of a situation if it is going to cause a lot of anxiety for you,” Atwater said. “I can’t stress enough that we control how we feel and think. If we look at it in that way, it really takes a lot of other people’s stuff off of our plate.” Cory Reid-Vanas Cory Reid-Vanas is a friendly, welcoming licensed marriage and family therapist who is the founder of Rocky Mountain Counseling Coaching Consulting, a counseling service for individuals, families and couples. “This is a really important time of year to practice taking good care of ourselves. Obviously, it is important to attend and spend time with family, but it’s also important to practice that sentiment that our responsibility is to take good care of ourselves,” Reid-Vanas said. Reid-Vanas said that having a family member who is challenging for you,

In other words, a film made for these fraught political times. “When we’ve created a process where we make politicians into celebrities, eventually we were going to have celebrity candidates,” Bai said during a post-screening discussion that included Carson, Reitman and producer Helen Estabrook on Nov. 8 at Ellie Caulkins. “This campaign was really the moment when the world of politics and entertainment collided.” With instantly quotable lines like “The world changes when young people give a damn,” and an exploration of what the American public will and won’t stand for when it comes to their leaders and the fourth estate, “The Front Runner” should not be missed.

‘The Front Runner’ For Coloradans and political junkies alike, director Jason Reitman’s latest film, “The Front Runner,” tackles a story many of us might think we know — the failed presidential bid of Colorado Sen. Gary Hart in 1988. The film centers on Hart (a restrained, torn Hugh Jackman) as he navigates the pressures, lies and half-truths that come with running for the highest office in the land. The film brims over with fantastic performances from Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons, Molly Ephraim and many, many others. Written by Reitman, Jay Carson and Matt Bai (based on his book, “All the Truth Is Out”) the film explores questions of what is interesting vs. important, the culpability of politicians and the media alike in turning politicians into celebrities and the standards to which we hold ourselves and our lead-

of documentary and historical drama, which tells the true story of four Jewish Berliners and the lengths they went through to avoid being deported into the Third Reich’s concentration camps. Some of the survivors actually worked in the underground resistance, undermining the Germans wherever they could, while others’ sole focus was staying a step ahead of the Gestapo. The movie uses actual interviews from the four survivors as they remember traumatic events like, as one put it, “the day I became illegal.” That the film manages to be as uplifting and even funny as it is stands as a testament to Räfle’s craft and the ordinary heroes he celebrates. Unsurprisingly, it’s the survivors who make the biggest impression — testaments to the power of the will to live and the regenerative grace of humanity. ‘Roma’ To me, there is a kind of otherworldly beauty that comes with a movie shot in black and white. The contrasts are deeper and the shadows and light

become a more visceral part of the storytelling. All of which is to say, Oscarwinner Alfonso Cuarón’s latest film, “Roma,” takes Mexico City of the early 1970s and turns it into a world of everyday enchantment and poetry through black-and-white cinematography and personal storytelling. Based on his own experiences growing up in the city, Cuarón (“Children of Men,” “Gravity” and “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”) cast firsttime and unknown actors in the role of a middle-class family at a time of personal and political change. The movie feels more like a documentary than a scripted drama, and Cuarón (who also wrote and shot it) uses a poet’s eye to tell extraordinarily moving stories to which everyone can relate. The film is coming straight to Netflix, so you have no excuse to miss what is undoubtedly one of the year’s best films. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis.

EDUCATION FROM PAGE 7

Ewert said leaders need to think about what part of the tax policy was objectionable, what a tax policy should look like and who should be at the table to discuss it. “Amendments that include tax increases are difficult to pass,” he said. “Hopefully, this will send a message to the entire state to advocate for public education.” Jack Reutzel, Littleton Public Schools Board of Education president, is hopeful that the Democrats’ push in the state Legislature will allow for more talks about increasing statewide education funding in the future. “With the change in the makeup of the state Legislature, we think we’re going to have a sympathetic ear for K-12 education at the state House,” Reutzel said. Those sentiments are shared by Lisa Weil, executive director of Great Education Colorado, part of the coalition that supported 73. “This conversation, and the effort for equitable funding for Colorado schools, will continue, as will the broad-based coalition that came together to help our schools, kids and teachers,” Weil said. “Together, we’ve changed the conversation and established that school funding is in crisis in Colorado. We’ve addressed it at the grassroots level, we’ve made our voices heard and we expect our public officials to listen and to come together on solutions.”

Time to kick soccer shootouts to the curb

Arapahoe players celebrate after a 2-1 win over Grandview on Nov. 9 gave the school its sixth boys soccer championship but the first one since 1997. The Warriors finished the season with a 17-1-2 record. PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON

A ‘surreal’ celebration for Warriors Arapahoe wins 5A boys state soccer championship BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA

A large group of Arapahoe High School students and supporters gathered at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Nov. 9 with hopes that the boys soccer team could provide some encouragement to the school that has been rocked by tragic events. The soccer team, seeded eighth in the Class 5A state soccer playoffs, provided the Arapahoe faithful with a chance to celebrate after winning the state championship with a 2-1 victory over Centennial League rival Grandview. Arapahoe’s title comes after two students died by suicide Arapahoe’s Cameron Gail (7) and Jose Raya (7) of Grandview track down a loose ball during the 5A state championship game Nov. 9 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Gail assisted on the winning goal as the Warriors downed the Wolves, 2-1.

early this fall and the 2013 shooting at the school that left two students dead. There were 13 seniors on the Warriors team that finished the season with a 17-1-2 record. “It feels numbing, surreal,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire. “I’m thrilled for the boys. They’ve been through so much. The resiliency is incredible. Our senior boys, all 13 of them, showed great, great leadership regardless of how much time they had on the field. “This was a special group. Emotionally, this group of seniors had been through a lot, they’ve lost classmates and close friends. For them to be able to battle through all that, and I’m not just talking about this year. This senior class has dealt with this since the time they were freshmen.” SEE CHAMPS, P19

Arapahoe players celebrate after a 2-1 win over Grandview on Nov. 9 gave the school its sixth boys soccer championship. The Warriors finished the season with a 17-1-2 record.

riving to EchoPark Automotive Stadium for the Class 5A soccer semifinals on Nov. 7, I had visions of seeing well-played, competitive matches with no shootouts. But what did I see? A shootout. Arapahoe eliminated defending champion Broomfield with a 4-3 win after six shootout rounds. Neither OVERTIME team scored in regulation time or the two 15-minute overtime sessions which got me to climb on the soapbox. I’ve always felt that soccer shootouts are fun, Jim Benton exciting and nerve wracking for regular-season games but they don’t belong in the playoffs when teams are putting all their hard work on the line with a chance to win the state championship. Yes, both teams have an equal chance of winning a shootout to decide a playoff winner. But shootouts eliminate the passing, dribbling, marking, teamwork and physical play that are part of successful teams. Shootouts resort to an individual game of shooting prowess. The goalkeeper’s skill and quite frankly good intuition and luck are also involved. This season in just the 5A division there have been three teams ousted from the 5A playoffs because of shootout losses after the two overtime sessions that have been increased to 15 minutes each for the playoffs. There was one shootout in 2017 and four in 2016 including Broomfield, which lost the 2016 state title match after being outscored in a prolonged shootout against Boulder, 13-12. Broomfield won a second-round shootout this season over Denver East. “I’ve never been a big fan of penalty kicks to end a soccer match,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire. “It really takes away the integrity of what the sport is, a team sport, and it puts it on the shoulders of an individual or two but it does test the mental resiliency and focus.” Rock Canyon won a first-round shootout this season but coach Aaron Carpenter has an idea to avoid shootouts. “I’m not a fan of shootouts,” he said. `This is a bit unorthodox, but I would have the matches go two 10-minute halves of golden goal. At that time, if it remained the same, I would play 8-v-8 with two more 10-minute halves of golden goal.” SEE BENTON, P20

CHAMPS

> Arapahoe defeated Grandview 2-1 on Nov. 9 to win the school’s sixth boys state championship and the first since 1997. The six boys state titles ties Cherry Creek for second all-time. Broomfield is the leader with seven state championship victories. JIM BENTON

FROM PAGE 18

Arapahoe made its ninth appearance in a state championship game for the boys program and captured the school’s sixth title but the first one since 1997. “It’s been so long and everything that has happened at our school, it means a lot to us and all the fans that came out with the huge following that we had,” said senior and team scoring leader Cameron Gail. “We had so many people backing us. “Once we took down the No. 1 seed (previously unbeaten Fairview) and then beat Broomfield, we knew we had it. We just played our game. It was just the all-around pride. Everyone was so determined to win the state championship. We were looking one game at a time, but we all knew this was the year, and it was.” Arapahoe used a familiar formula of opportunistic offense and a tenacious defense in front of standout goalkeeper Spencer Cobb. The Warriors allowed only one goal in the playoffs. That came when Grandview tied the title match in the 10th minute on a goal by Noe Ortiz

Pena, which came six minutes after junior defender Garret Lyles scored for Arapahoe following a corner kick by Zander Hahn. “It was a corner and I just stuck my leg up to hopefully get a foot on it and went in top right,” said Lyles about the opening goal. “Getting the early goal helps. We were underdogs the whole way... It feels amazing to win the championship. We had 13 seniors and they had been waiting for this since their freshman season. We knew we could do it.” Grandview, however, conB:4.73” tinued to put pressure on the Warriors’ T:4.73” defense and Cobb.

“Grandview took it to us, they are such a talented team,” said Hampshire. “We just weathered the storm.” Senior midfielder Noah Carl got the game-winning goal in the 68th minute, when he buried a shot after Gail’s attempt deflected off a Grandview player. “I just saw the open net and then finished it,” said Carl. “It was my second goal of the season. It’s the most amazing feeling I’ve ever had.” The Arapahoe back line of Lyles, Hahn, Travis Sawyer, Zach Miller and others played well and Cobb once again was reliable. However, after Carl’s goal,

Grandview never got a shot on goal despite controlling the possession as the Warriors were content to stay back and play defense. “Spencer Cobb, in my humble opinion, is the best goalkeeper in the state,” said Hampshire. “He’s only given up a total of six goals all season. He was fantastic.” Cobb made eight saves against Grandview and he was also the key player in a shootout semifinal win over defending state champion Broomfield on Nov. 7. He stopped 10 shots against the Eagles. Both teams had chances to score in regulation time,

which ended in a scoreless deadlock. Each team had chances in the two 15-minute overtimes and Arapahoe’s Hahn twice kicked out possible Eagles’ goals as the outcome came down to a shootout, where five shooters alternate penalty shots and the shootout continues if neither team has won after the first five rounds. The first three shooters of each team scored but it came down to Broomfield having a chance to win on their fifth shooter, but Cobb made a save to prolong the shootout. Arapahoe’s Liam Anderson scored to give the Warriors a 4-3 advantage and then Cobb stopped a shot by Cade Austin to set off a victory celebration. “It was all about doing whatever you can do to play with these seniors one more time,” said Cobb. “My center back (Hahn) saved me two times and I owed it to him and to the team to make two big saves. The first three or four shots in the shootout were well taken. It’s hard to tell sometimes. I just try to look at hips and where they line up. Cobb’s effort in the shootout went beyond expectations. “We usually ask him to save one but to come out and do what he did is amazing,” Hampshire said.

BENTON FROM PAGE 18

I still remember the triple overtime in Florida when the Avalanche captured their first NHL Stanley Cup title in 1996. In the playoffs in the National Hockey League, teams keep playing until one team wins. High school soccer coaches routinely practice penalty kicks and keepers are schooled on what to watch to maybe get a hint on where the shooters plan to aim their attempt. Tied World Cup knockout games were first replayed, which isn’t an answer for high school teams. World Cup shootouts were introduced in 1978, and 30 matches have been decided by penalty-kick shootouts. The biggest problem is there hasn’t been a viable alternative to a shootout. Fatigue and sloppy play, especially for high school players, is a disadvantage of letting teams continue until a winner is determined. “We have not had any recent conversation about changing our playoff overtime format,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Ernie Derrera. A few proposals have been made internationally to improve endings to tied matches. One would be to change the format of the shootouts, since the team that shoots first wins 60 percent of the shootouts. Arapahoe shot first against Broomfield in the Nov. 7 semifinals. Instead of teams alternating shooters, the first team would shoot once then the second team twice, then the first team twice until it gets to the final round shooter, which would be a player from

the second team. Another idea would be to reduce a player on each team and keep decreasing players as the overtimes progress. The notion I like is to have the penalty shootout after regulation match ends and before the overtime sessions begin. It gives the losing shootout team a chance for redemption. If neither team scores during the ensuing OT periods, then the winner of the shootout would be declared the winner of the match. But for now, I will just have to enjoy the drama provided by shootouts and keep quiet. Arapahoe goalkeeper Spencer Cobb probably best summed up penalty-kick shootouts. “PKs are the definition of soccer because it’s so fickle,” he said. “It can go both ways. You like PKs when you win. It shouldn’t always come down to that.” Pomona, Boll vault to top Pomona won its fourth consecutive girls Class 5A gymnastics team title Nov. 1 at the CHSAA state meet with a narrow victory over Overland, but the Panthers’ accomplishment had to be shared with an individual from Lakewood. Lakewood’s Amber Boll, a senior who has committed to the Air Force Academy, won the 5A all-around title on Nov. 1 but drew more attention in winning the individual vault competition with a perfect 10.0 score on Nov. 3. She also captured individual titles on the uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

King Features Weekly Service

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Try to avoid signing on the dotted line in the early part of the week. You need time to study issues that weren’t fully explored. Later in the week might be more favorable for decision-making. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new development could snarl travel schedules or other holiday-linked projects. Some flexibility might be called for to deal with the problems before they get too far out of hand. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Relatives seek your advice on a matter you’d rather not be involved in. If so, use that sage Sagittarian tact to decline the “offer,” so that no one’s feelings are needlessly hurt. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A shift in planning direction might help you speed up your progress toward achieving that longplanned goal. Trusted colleagues are ready to offer some valuable support. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unexpected demand for settlement of an old loan could create some pre-holiday anxiety. But you might not really owe it. Check your records thoroughly before remitting payment. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to get into the social swim and enjoy some well-earned fun and games with those closest to you before you have to resume more serious activities next week. BORN THIS WEEK: Your ability to sense the needs of others makes you a wise counselor for those seeking help with their problems.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Restarting those creative projects you had set aside for a while will help provide a much-needed soothing balance to your hectic life. Besides, it will be like meeting old friends again. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change in plans could make it tough to keep a commitment. But stay with it. You’ll get an A-plus for making the effort to do what’s right and not taking the easy way out by running off. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Lion’s enthusiasm for a workplace policy review is admirable. But be sure you know who is really behind the resistance to change before pointing your finger at the wrong person. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You can expect to have to do a lot of work through midweek. Devote the rest of the week to checking your holiday plans in case some need to be
