FACES AMONG US
HELLO
... My Name Is
INDEPENDENCE DAY FUN IN JEFFERSON COUNTY A glimpse of the people in our community
PAM FEELY Author of ‘A Candidate’s Guide to Campaign Finance in Colorado’ About me … I’m a third generation Denverite — my great grandfather moved here in the 1870s because he thought he had tuberculosis and the environment would be better for him. I was born at St. Joseph’s Hospital, and our family moved to Lakewood in 1968. I went to Alameda High School and went to Regis University to get my degree in accounting and business. I decided I wanted to go back and get my Master’s at the school, which I did in 2014. I owned Feely & Associates, PC, an accounting firm, for 20 years and am now transitioning into more campaign finance work. Political interests … Politics is something I’ve always been interested in, even as a kid. Some people are really good at going out there and asking for votes, but that’s not something I’ve ever enjoyed doing. I’ve been a treasurer for elected officials since 2005, when I started with Ed Perlmutter. I’ve worked for Andy Kerr, and numerous city council campaigns. I have a lot of interests, including pensions, sales tax, and the Gallagher amendment. Writing a book ... Campaign finance has gotten more complicated over the years in the name of transparency. I started thinking about writing this book in June 2014, and I first met my publisher to get started in February 2015. I finished up writing in March, and then had to work with a graphic designer on the cover design.
Pam Feely owned Feely & Associates for 20 years, and has just published her first book. Courtesy photo One of the hardest parts was committing to a title, but it was also one of the most important parts, because you can’t get an ISBN number or cover until you have that selected. My favorite part was putting it together and working with the graphic designer. The importance of awareness ... A lot of campaigns don’t know what they’re doing, and they can get in big trouble if they’re not careful. Especially since Colorado has 180 home rule cities with their own variations on regulations. This is a not a partisan thing, and if this is the campaign finance system we’re going to have, my book has answers for any questions people may have. I’ve already had interest from people who will are considering running for city council in 2017.

The bench was a collaboration between West Metro Fire and the City of Lakewood, with funding provided by the city’s Neighborhood Participation Program. The bench incorporates a fire ladder into the design, and there are custom bronze pieces that augment the work. Here are some of the best things we heard at the unveiling:

Maddie Nichols — I think the final work is great, especially since it signifies firehouse No. 1. It’s a great addition to the firehouse and the neighborhood.
Tim Driscoll — The captain reached out to us about creating a metal project for Lakewood, and it was an honor to be asked to contribute.
Austin Weishel — This was a new kind of project for me, but it was interesting to combine Tim and my abilities on the project. And now we’ve made a piece that will last forever.

Bike to Work Day closes with a trail ride home and relaxing brew By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com
After a trek to work for Colorado’s 25th annual Bike to Work Day, Arvada cyclists wheeled towards home, stopping at Odyssey Beerwerk’s Bike Home party for a break, some conversation and, of course, some brews. “We have more people here than we anticipated,” said Chris Hill, chief beer peddler and owner of Odyssey as he savored a beer the evening of June 22. “The biking community is cool. A lot of us ride our bikes, and when the weather is nice we ride into work right off the trail. So why wouldn’t we invite people to come in after their ride for a beer?” The brewery, at 5535 W 56th Ave. #107, is just off the Ralston Creek Trail, a biking path many frequent to commute to work and the brewery. To celebrate Bike to Work Day, the owners invited Arvada’s newest bike shop, Cycle Dynamics, and cyclists from all over to ride down to the brewery after work, to relax and savor one of their many craft beers. Chaining up their bikes in the homemade bike rack or to the patio fence, cyclists walked in, red-faced and sweaty, but full of energy. And despite being a little tired from their ride, they smiled — even brighter when they got a frosty pint in their hand. About 40 to 50 cyclists congregated with friends and the crew from Cycle Dynamics on the outside patio. “How can I help you, bud?” asked Nate Glore, co-owner and mechanic at Cycle Dynamics to a cyclist passing by. “Air? Brake check?” “Naw, I was just wondering how much it costs to true a wheel?” responded a cyclist while preparing to leave the brewery. There to assist any bikers, the company set up shop near the brewery’s bike rack, ready to answer questions like these and help cyclists oil up their bikes, check their wheels and brakes and get to know more bikers in Arvada’s

Speeders on Morrison Road beware — Lakewood Police are watching. The department has received ongoing complaints from residents about excessive speed and noise from vehicles traveling on Morrison Road, between C-470 and Kipling Parkway, particularly on the weekends. “When we hear this much from residents, it’s something we look into,” said Steve Davis, public information officer with the department. “We will continue to heavily enforce the area until we feel like we’ve made an impact.” Lakewood recently experienced a similar situation on 6th Avenue, which was seeing drivers hit speeds of 100 and faster, Davis said. Morrison Road isn’t particularly high volume, according to Lakewood traffic engineer David Baskett. It sees about 4,500 vehicles a day, which is fairly low, he added. The city considers it more of a collectors street than an arterial. “This is usually how the police and city work together,” he said. “Police look at the times when they’re seeing the most speeding, and that’s when they sound out officers.” Summer is prime time for speeding, with the warm weather and people out later, Davis said. The weather also means people leave their windows open at night, so it is easier to hear cars going too fast.

happened around America’s bicentennial celebrations, so our class wanted to do something special.” Forty years later, graduates gathered at the amphitheater to recreate the event with a class photo as part of the class’ reunion weekend. Approximately 100 former students showed up June 24 through 26 for the photo at the amphitheater and events, which included a mixer at Holiday Lanes bowling Alley, dinner at the Museum of Nature and Science and a picnic at Addenbrooke Park. The reunion has been in the works for a little more than a year, according to DeNovellis and class of 1976 member Christine Lewin, née Kloepfer. “These are people I’ve known for 50 years, and we were a very close class,” Lewin said. “Those of us who were planning everything wanted this to be the best reunion ever.” Despite social media’s prevalence in contemporary times, tracking down members of the about 500-student class proved to be quite the challenge. DeNovellis employed social media, public records and networking to track down as many classmates as possible. “Even if they weren’t able to attend, I was so blessed to be able talk to so many classmates,” she said. “If everyone has half as much fun at the events as we did planning them, it will be great.” At Red Rocks, all seemed in a great mood, catching up with old friends, remembering old times and telling jokes. There were lots of hugs in between conversations, as people who may not have seen each other in 40 years, got reacquainted. “I haven’t been to any of the previous reunions, but this year I thought, no more

already, but it makes us appreciate those who are still here,” Lewin said. “I am so looking forward to actually seeing my friends’ faces and physically hugging them.” When reaching out to people, DeNovellis learned that many class members went on to be realtors, and a large percentage moved from Lakewood to Colorado

Dr. Emily Hays, a veterinarian at Foothills Animal Shelter, brings in Beatrice, a 14-week old rat terrier mix, to get her ready to take an X-ray of her paw. Thanks to the new X-ray equipment at the shelter, Beatrice and many other shelter animals are now able to get needed X-rays done onsite, which helps the animals by being able to treat emergencies more immediately, and avoids stressful transports to and from veterinary clinics.

Behind the scenes at Foothills Animal Shelter Volunteers, X-ray equipment helps shelter serve the area
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com In 2015, more than 6,300 animals were adopted into loving homes from the Foothills Animal Shelter. And it’s caring people who contribute to the shelter’s success. The shelter employs 50, has more than 450 volunteers and at least 180 foster homes where about 900 animals are cared for each year. “We look at every animal as an individual,” said Jessi Burns, the shelter’s marketing and communications manager. “We do everything we can for each one.” The shelter’s equipment also helps Foothills serve the animal population of the area. To learn more about Foothills Animal Shelter, find it online at www.foothillsanimalshelter.org, visit the animals in person at 580 McIntyre St. in Golden from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, give the shelter a call at 303-278-7575 or send an email to info@fas4pets.org.

at the shelter, veterinarian Dr. Emily Hays said. Hays has used the equipment for everything from a cat that swallowed a penny to a goose with a broken foot to fractures. “The biggest impact,” Hays said, “is that it’s easier on the patients.” Not only does the X-ray help with being able to treat emergency cases immediately, animals no longer have to go through the stress of being transported to local veterinary clinics for X-rays. The equipment cost $43,000, which was raised through donations. “Donors stepped up and realized the importance,” Hays said. “This allows us to provide the care that everyone would expect.” The X-ray equipment is used on about three to six animals a day, Hays said, or about more than 30 animals to date. “Staff has always worked to provide amazing care, but this allows us to go the extra mile,” she said. The equipment is “a big step as far as improving care for the shelter pets.” The volunteers One reason the Foothills Animal Shelter is successful is because of the volunteers, said Jessi Burns, the shelter’s marketing and communications manager. “We couldn’t do what we do without the volunteers,” she said.
A holistic approach to managing money By David Gilbert Special to Colorado Community Media
What they do As legions of Baby Boomers approach retirement, many will find themselves woefully underprepared for the realities of long-term medical care. Peter Wolf, the certified financial educator who runs Abundant Prosperity Associates, is determined to help his clients avoid these brutal financial hardships. As well as college fund and business planning, Peter and his team specialize in holistic money management strategies that minimize exposing savings to market risk and emphasize the importance of preparing for the ballooning costs of medical care.
“Volunteers do what the staff can’t.” They walk dogs, socialize with cats, represent the shelter at various events, foster pets, transport animals and clean the facility. In fact, there are more than 70 different volunteer positions at the shelter. Tony Catanese, a resident of Lookout Mountain, has been doing so for about a year. On Tuesday afternoons, he writes pet bios on the cats. Every first Sunday of the month, you can see him on 7NEWS with an adoptable animal. And he volunteers at other off-site adoption events, as needed. “I would do more if I could. When you’re around animals,” Catanese said, “you feel you’re not doing enough.” For 16 years, Catanese and his dog Dodger volunteered in the pet therapy program at Lutheran Medical Center. Dodger has since passed away, and because it was a special, unique experience for Catanese with Dodger, he decided to look into animal shelters for volunteering opportunities. “Foothills impressed me the most,” he said. Catanese retired last June, and along with volunteering at other local organizations, he dedicates an average of 10 to 20 hours a week at Foothills Animal Shelter. “There’s a certain aura when you’re in an environment of animal lovers,” he said. The only downfall is always wanting to take one home.

History Peter founded Abundant Prosperity Associates in 2009, though he was first licensed as a financial professional in 1988. He previously worked as a schoolteacher in Jefferson County and facilitated mentoring programs and leadership academies for school districts across the state. He founded APA with a desire to close the gaps he saw left open by other financial planners.
Did you know? By the time someone reaches age 65, Peter said there’s a 70 percent chance they’ll need long-term care before they die.
He said it “People have been brainwashed by Wall Street and traditional advisers that they have to expose their money to the risk of loss to get a competitive rate of return, which couldn’t be further from the truth,” Peter said.
Moench sentenced to 120 years in prison Gordon Lee Moench, 56, appeared in Jefferson County court on June 23, where he was sentenced to prison for 120 years for the ambush and shooting of two Lakewood Police agents. On July 5, 2014, Lakewood police agents were lured to 9740 W. Jewell Place, in response to two separate 911 calls. When police arrived they were met with an ambush by Moench, who had concealed himself in the back of his pick-up truck, in front of his house. He was armed with three high-powered firearms, including a SKS semi-automatic assault rifle. Agent Jonathan Key was the first to arrive. He was in his marked patrol car and was slowing to stop a few houses away when Moench shot him twice through the windshield. One high-powered round was deflected by the agent’s Kevlar vest, and the second round hit him in the arm, but he was able to apply a tourniquet to temporarily staunch the bleeding as other agents arrived. Agent Kimberly Collins was the second to arrive. As she got out of her cruiser and began to approach Agent Key, Moench shot her with the SKS from 30 yards away. The high-caliber round hit her in the leg and essentially “blew out” her knee. She was in the hospital 35 days, has had 10 surgeries, ongoing rehabilitation, and pain. After shooting two police agents, Moench made a second call to 911. Agent Luke Godfrey encountered Moench as he was walking down the middle of the street carrying a .44 Magnum handgun. Agents gave Moench several orders to drop the gun, however, Moench failed to comply. As Moench lifted the gun, Agent Godfrey fired and shot him. Moench was transported to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries. In May, a Jefferson County jury found Moench guilty of 13 counts, including attempted murder and first degree assault of a peace officer.

RRCC presents two arts exhibits Red Rocks Community College is hosting two exhibits this summer: “Last in the Woods” by faculty member Alexis Clements and “When Trellises Break” by Terri Bell. Both run through Aug. 25 in the Susan K. Arndt Gallery located at RRCC’s Lakewood campus, 13300 W. 6th Ave. The gallery is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Clements and Bell have been sharing thoughts and ideas about photography for the past five years. This artistic friendship is where it was discovered both complement each other’s preoccupation with nature, memory, and the fragility of time through speaking the same photographic language of romanticizing melancholy “Last in the Woods” is a fine art project that focuses on illustrating personal narratives through semi-constructed photographic imagery staged in a wooded landscape. Much of this work involves the installation of objects and at times incorporates use of self-portraiture. “When Trellises Break” involves a photographic and mixed media series and narrative. The artist explores the vulnerability many experience during springtime. For more information, visit www.rrcc.edu.

The Devinny Team, called “I Can’t Pronounce This Team’s Name,” is made up of Lauren Matthews, Amanda Artman, Kaelen Peters, Ryan Von Kaenel and the Olivares brothers, is coached by Rhonda Peters and competes in the improvisational category. “The team are given materials, and a scenario with characters and locations,” explained Amy Downs, Olivares’ mother and Destination Imagination volunteer. “They then have a short amount of time to build a structure that goes with the story they want to tell.” The Devinny practiced often during the week and weekends, said Nathaniel, in preparation for tournaments. Their time and dedication paid off when they won the regional tournament in March, and then the state tournaments in April. To get to Knoxville, Tennessee, for the global competition, the team raised about $15,000 to get there. The story they ended up telling to win involved the Egyptian pharaoh King Tut dying of boredom waiting for a hippo to leave his swimming pool. The Olivares boys are already looking forward to participating next year’s competition, and said their favorite part of this year’s team was working together to win first place. “I learned a lot of different skills and how to use them when least expected,” Nathaniel said. “Because we did the improve category, I learned how to think quickly,” Sebastian added. “That and teamwork.”

popular musical productions. The concert will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 9, at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. “This is a way for us to celebrate our past and look ahead to what’s next,” said Philip Sneed, the center’s executive director. “Attendees are going to hear some of the greatest musical theater, with a far bigger orchestra than we normally have.” In addition to the symphony, the evening will feature performances from local musical theater actors and members of the center’s Musical Theatre Teen Intensive summer camp. With its three stages — the Main Stage Theatre, Black Box Theatre and Amphitheatre — the Arvada Center has produced more than 170 musicals, which provided plenty of choices when it came to picking songs. “Anything Goes” was the first musical production held at the venue, so that will kick off the evening. “It was a fun challenge to find the flow of the music for the program,” said Keith Ewer, coordinator of the concert. “Doing this brought up so many memories, because my life has been so intertwined with the musicals we do.” The actors performing at the concert are Lauren Shealy (“White Christmas,” “Curtains”), Megan Van De Hey (seen in “Death Takes a
Holiday,” “Chess”), Daniel Langhoff (“Man of La Mancha,” “Ragtime”) and Stephen Day (“Les Misérables,” “She Loves Me”). “The Arvada Center is one of my favorite places — it’s just an incredibly positive environment,” Shealy said. “What a momentous occasion, and I’m excited and honored to be a part of it.” For Ewer, Shealy and Sneed, the center has a rich personal history. Sneed had some of his first professional acting jobs there. Ewer achieved his dream of becoming a professional drumme there. And it gave Shealy an entree to the Colorado theater scene. “I love the can-do attitude here at the Arvada Center,” Ewer said. “We really live the show-must-go-on approach.” During the evening, local officials will mark the transition to a self-governing body. Five individuals who have volunteered at the center since its opening in 1976 will also be honored. “We wanted to let the public know we support this transition,” Sneed said. “It’s exciting to move into this phase where we’re sustaining ourselves.” The blending of music and business will make for an emotional and invigorating evening for performers and audiences alike. “Any time I get to spend at the center makes me so excited,” Shealy said. “I’m looking forward to singing outside on a summer night with some truly amazing people.”
Art center celebrates 40 Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities officially becomes nonprofit organization By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com At 40, people often celebrate being “over the hill,” but for the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities this birthday is the beginning. “It’s going to be great,” said Arvada Mayor Marc Williams of the Arvada Center’s official transition to a nonprofit arts education entity from a city department. “It’s going to give the ability for the center to grow philanthropically at a level higher than it could as a city department.” This transition — taking place on July 1 and the center’s 40th anniversary — is a major change for the entity as a business, but not as a venue. The center will now be run as a private nonprofit organization, allowing for the entity to expand philanthropic giving, programming and its supporter base. The move allows “the Arvada Center to remain viable in the long-term,” said Ken Fellman, a founding board member of the nonprofit. “A nonprofit form will expose us to new audiences, supporters and ultimately help us continue to
Lakewood named AllAmerica City for second time Projects like Mountair Park propelled city to victory Staff report Lakewood was named as a 2016 All-America City by the National Civic League on June 19. This is an honor given each year to 10 communities for outstanding civic accomplishments. This is the second time the city has received this designation. The first time was in 2011. The criteria for winning the award includes impact, inclusiveness, public engagement and the use of collaborative problem-solving strategies linking the private, public and nonprofit sectors. According to information provided by Lakewood, the city won the award based on the strength of the following projects: the Mountair Park Community Farm, Lakewood Linked and Schools as Hubs. These projects highlighted the Mountair Park Summer Camp, the Field of Dreams sports field renovation at Foothills Elementary School, the Lakewood Faith
Coalition’s Whiz Kids literacy and mentoring work and numerous nonprofits that provide important services to and through the schools. Other winners this year include Hayward, California, Columbia Heights, Minnesota, and Norfolk, Virginia. This year, the All-America Awards program highlighted community efforts to “ensure that all our children are healthy and successful in school and life.” The winning communities addressed topics such as: school attendance, racial equity, health and well-being (of children, parents and community), neighborhood safety, poverty, nutrition, affordable housing, and healthy natural environments. “These All-America cities are doing amazing work to engage their communities in helping to assure the well-being of young people,” said Doug Linkhart, President of the National Civic League, in a statemetn. “We’re constantly impressed by their innovation and dedication in bringing together groups and individuals together to address critical issues such as the health and educational success.”

provide value.” Since its inception in 1976, the Arvada Center has been a department of the City of Arvada. Over the past 40 years, the city’s financial contribution — both in-kind and financial donations — to the center has grown to about $4 million a year. In the early 1990s, Fellman said, that contribution reached a high point, one that needed to be stabilized. That’s when the councils of the time, and several that followed, decided to research alternative methods of funding. “We’ve been seriously moving in this direction for the last four to five years,” Fellman said of the switch. “We’re working to make it (the center) better in every way that entails.” Over the next five years, the center will operate as the nonprofit, taking over all programming, operations and fiscal responsibility. The City of Arvada will continue to run the building and grounds maintenance. The switch coincides with the entity’s 40th anniversary of a regional arts and entertainment venue, a moment Executive Director, Philip Sneed said, is both by design and providence. “It’s right timing,” he said. “Most or all of us here are excited about this transition and the future. There are already a lot of exciting new possibilities that exist in the private sector that just don’t in the public sector.”

VOICES
LOCAL
Consider this bit of tribal counsel I was tooling around the house the other day, taking a moment to enjoy a cup of chai, when I flipped on the Telly (as the Brits might say), and found “Dances With Wolves.” I wasn’t looking for a 3-hour epic, multiple-Oscar winner to kill time with, but, well, there you have it. Big chunk of my day … gone. It got me thinking a lot about the idea of tribes. “Tribe” has become the new buzzword, signifying a person’s sense of belonging to something. In the movie, John Dunbar, while running away from the slaughter of war, found his tribe in the Sioux nation. They welcomed him in, gave him community and purpose. In the education game, we talk a lot about helping kids find their “tribe.” And, as easy, or even romantic, as that idea is to throw around, it is actually a much more complicated idea than a lot of people consider. When Columbine happened, we spent a lot of time talking about students and “social disconnect.” The idea was that students did not have to be popular to feel safe at school — they just had to have a few friends who they trust and could provide them with a shell of social belonging. A “tribe,” as it were. And so, we spend a lot of time thinking about different ways to connect students to other students, to help shape and mold their social experiences in a way that they can feel connected. This is part of why middle
schools are organized into teams these days, and why faculty advisors are a normal part of the secondary school experience. It’s a grand idea, but, parents, let me caution you against casual joy at your child finding a “tribe”—not every tribe is good. Michael Alcorn First of all, predators instinctively know HITTING who is outside of the HOME tribe, and create their own. They prey on young people — especially, but not exclusively, girls — and show interest in them. They make them feel a sense of worth that no tribe has asserted yet, and then they isolate them from the structures of their life — family, church, old friends. The clever ones even do it in a way that makes it seem like every bad idea comes from the prey. And then they hook them in to their solo tribe. In the 1920s, when the wave of Italian immigrants had started to settle into the fabric of American life, there was one powerful tribe that formed to give young men, in particular, a place to belong — it was the mafia. Organized crime might be the greatest tribal movement in America in the 20th century,
going from Hoffa to MS-13 to Chinese Triads to the Crips and the Bloods. Gone to another level, these become the Jim Joneses, or Charles Mansons, or the Branch Davidians. Or, for that matter, ISIS. But they’re a tribe! Even American politics is starting to fracture along tribal lines. Ben Shapiro wrote a piece in National Review a couple weeks ago arguing that Donald Trump is not, in any way, a rejection of the type of politics that Barack Obama has practiced for the last ten years. They both identify areas of contention, and then leverage those; they both embrace the power of government to accomplish things for their “tribe;” and neither of them seem to have any interest in dealing with members of the other tribe — it’s all or nothing politics. Trump isn’t a refutation of eight years of Obama — he’s the strong man champion of those who feel aggrieved by the tribe of Obama. Luckily, there are still some wonderful tribes out there — the Marines, for instance. Belonging to one of those can still be a launching pad to accomplishment in life. Just don’t be complacent and assume that every tribe is like that. The fact that the Marines exist is testament to the presence of bad tribes, too. Michael Alcorn is a teacher and writer who lives in Arvada with his wife and three children. His novels are available at MichaelJAlcorn.com

We asked folks milling around the W Rail light rail station in Golden about how their morning commute was, and why they were using mass transit.
What is Sustainable Printing? It’s the paper: Biodegradable, renewable, recycled, reusable. It’s the ink: Soy based inks are used, reused then recycled.
“It’s cool, and it’s like a roller coaster!” — Augustus James William, 5, Denver
“It’s pretty quiet and beautiful. I take the bus and light rail to school. I don’t have a car right now, but even when I did, I had a bus pass from the school, so that’s what I’d take.” — Adriana Morales, Englewood
“I drive down from the mountains and take the light rail to Sports Authority Field and walk to work from there. Mass transit is a lot cheaper. I don’t have to pay so much gas money.” — Alessandro Lauria, Black Hawk
“I love it. RTD is excellent. I love riding light rail, the people are friendly on the trains and it’s fast.” — Charles Clairmont, Denver
It’s the plate: Process-free plates eliminate VOC’s and reduce water usage. It’s the press: Using cold-set presses reduces the amount of VOC’s put into the air. It’s the location: Printed locally reducing shipping and postage costs, while saving gas, emissions and time.

Walking away is often the better choice Most of the time – much of the time, anyway – I don’t get bothered by what could be considered slights. For example, when a classmate at a writing workshop apologized for walking away from me to take a call the previous day, I told her, honestly, that I hadn’t given it a thought. Or, say, someone cuts in line in front of me at the grocery store or at a concert. Yes, I’m annoyed, but it’s unlikely I’ll voice my irritation any louder than a low-voiced comment to my companions. Unless, that is, if I’m in a car. I give voice to my astonishment, disgust, and downright disbelief loud enough that anyone nearby would hear and understand. It’s not pretty, but no one usually gets to hear my displeasure. So it wasn’t a surprise to me that I was pretty peeved when someone swung into the parking spot at Home Depot for which I had clearly been waiting. What
did surprise me is what happened next: As a mom and her two teenageish daughters got out of their car, I rolled down my window and said, “Wow … you just took my spot,” in mock amazement. What happened Andrea Doray next was that I ALCHEMY immediately felt ashamed. From the look on the woman’s face, she had no idea what I was talking about. Her daughters gaped first at me and then at her. I said, “That’s okay … I guess you didn’t see me.” She was flustered and said she hadn’t. She kept telling me she was sorry. I kept telling her it was okay
and I inched away to park elsewhere. By that time, though, I was completely consumed with shame. I was there on an absolutely gorgeous morning to pick out the absolutely gorgeous flowers I was going to pot for my patio. What was wrong with me? I sprinted after the little family, calling out to them. “I’m sorry,” I said. “I was being petty, and on such a lovely day, too. I’m sorry.” Beyond the pangs of regret I had brought upon myself, I was appalled that I had become that person. What could have made me believe that accosting a stranger would have a good outcome, for either of us? I’m sure we all felt bad about my little tantrum, but my fervent hope is that they felt less bad after my apology. This incident has stuck with me. Why did I think such behavior was called for? Perhaps I’ve become inured to sanctimonious pronouncements and selfrighteous judgments, particularly during
this election season. The hate spewed by some supporters of candidates, parties and policies is inexcusable. I’m not sure when or how I gave myself the okay to act in like manner, but I am sure I won’t be doing it again. In the wake of hate-inspired tragedies around the world and at home, I’m horrified that I could default to such selfentitled behavior. Even if, as a human being, I still get annoyed with my fellow citizens on planet Earth, there’s absolutely no reason to senselessly berate someone like that … or at all, really. Next time, I’ll just take a step back and walk – or drive – away from my own pettiness.

Skip’s life. He and Lois were blessed with six sons and one daughter. The oldest son Joseph, passed away at the age of six of Leukemia. Skip has 19 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren, soon to be 17. Skip’s favorite memories mostly revolve around the yearly family vacations they would take. Traveling with six children in a car was an adventure in and of itself, but looking back at the “road bumps” always brings laughter and cherished memories. Skip and Lois enjoyed 58 years of marriage until her passing in 2002. When asked about the key to a long and happy life, Skip’s response is, “I wish I knew. Work hard and learn from your mistakes.”
When asked about the most important lessons he’s learned, Skip had to think about that one before saying, “Looking back, having a hobby is fine and it’s a must to have a job and provide for your family, but don’t let your passion replace your family and pick a career that allows you to be home so you can be the husband and father you want to be. Nothing is more important than family, I don’t know what I would do without them.” Anyone having the privilege of knowing or being related to Skip can honestly say they have been blessed by him and he holds a special place in their hearts. — Dorene Masterson

David and Peggy Ralph Lakewood Giving cancer patients a lift One of the biggest roadblocks to cancer treatment is transportation. The American Cancer Society’s Road To Recovery program helps provide patients across Metro Denver with free rides to treatment. They need your help. For those in the area who cannot drive themselves or have no other means of getting to treatment, volunteers donate their spare time and the use of their personal vehicle to give cancer patients in their community a much-needed ride. Road To Recovery volunteers in the community have driven many patients to their cancer treatments but the need continues to grow. Every driver has one of the most crucial instruments in cancer care and it’s been next to you the whole time – your passenger seat! It can be used to help save lives.

Paul Masterson turns 100 Paul John Masterson, better known as “Skip,” was born in Parnell, Iowa, on June 29, 1916. Raised on a farm, they had several fields of crops and also a lot of livestock. Skip had six siblings and at the age of ten, the family moved to Colorado Springs. Skip graduated from high school when he was 18 years old and attended business college. He had a love for golf and caddied at The Broadmoor Resort. He fine-tuned his golf game and won several tournaments, which led to playing a round of golf with Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Ellsworth Vines. That was the highlight of his golfing carrier. Skip enlisted into the U.S. Army Air Corps on Oct. 1, 1940. He rose to the rank of Tech Sergeant and was in charge of the warehouse that supplied solders with their gear. He met the love of his life, Lois Isaacson, while in the Army. They were married on April 10, 1944. After his discharge on November 10, 1945, Skip owned a gas station for a time, then he worked for the government as a contractor. Around 1960 Skip started selling life insurance policies and retired in 1981 at the age of 65. Family is a very important part of

OBITUARIES HAUETTER-GLEASON
Marilyn Jean Hauetter-Gleason October 22, 1936 – January 9, 2016
During a sunny snow shower on Saturday, 9 January 2016, Marilyn Jean Hauetter-Gleason gracefully passed into God’s hands at the Collier Hospice Center on the Lutheran Medical Campus. Her positivity, sense of humor and love of life reflected on everyone she connected with. The many people who cared for her always made comments about her strength through her adversity. Marilyn was born in Black Water MO, 22 October 1936 and was destined to travel the earth. She and her husband of 56 years, Russell D Gleason, moved several times due to his service in the US Navy. They settled in her favorite “Red Brick” home in 1978 in Lakewood CO, with a wonderful view of the Denver metro area. As a supporter of Rotary International, the international conferences gave her the opportunities
to travel to Australia, Europe, Central America and within the USA. Cruising the world’s river systems was her favorite allowing her to create new friendships, experience unique cultures and enjoy the amazing sights. She had a thing for helping others, especially when it came to doing their taxes. After a lengthy employment with H&R Block, AARP scooped her up talents where she helped those less fortunate. Hockey and football were her favorite sports. The hockey booster clubs for the Clinton Comets and the Colorado Rockies were blessed to have her enthusiastic energy to lead them. Whatever time football was on, college or NFL, you could place a winning bet she would be watching and making lots of noise. Baseball was reserved for family time. Coors Field has had
the Gleason clan on many occasions. Family was held closely to her heart. Those still here to celebrate her life are her husband Russell D Gleason; daughter, Ruthe D Gleason; son, Robert D Gleason; grandkids, Brian P McNamee, Chelsea R Gleason and great-grandson, Carter R Rogers; best friend and sister H Joyce Haried. There are also several family members in Florida and Missouri who will miss her spirit as well. We will be celebrating the life that was Marilyn Jean HauetterGleason, this coming Saturday, 2 July 2016 at the Lakewood Heritage Museum starting at 1pm. Her request to those who wish to give flowers was to consider donating to the Rotary Foundation or the Colorado Diabetes Foundation instead.

The power of faith Holding strong to faith gives hope when terminally ill By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com
W
hat felt like the flu turned out to be something more final. And for Arvada dad and grandfather Gerry Gallick, the prognosis shook up his life. But faith kept him steady. “I’ve always been religious,” said Gallick, who has Erdheim-Chester disease, an ultrarare blood disease that affects nearly 1,000 people worldwide. “My faith is like my anchor, my core center of strength, because when you lose all you have that’s really all you have.” Like others diagnosed with a terminal illness, Gallick is fighting back with faith, which depending on the person can take many forms — faith in God, a higher power, themselves. “If people are deeply rooted in a spiritual community or a have a strong spiritual leader, that’s huge for people in that moment,” said Frank Gold, chaplain at Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge. “It’s grounding.” Erdheim-Chester affects each individual differently. Before his diagnosis in April 2015, Gallick began to grow weak, had consistent head and neck pain and constantly felt as if he had the flu. Doctors found multiple clusters of genetically mutated white blood cells — known as histiocytes — in his skull, nose and neck. A tumor had formed in his spine. These clusters caused painful pressure to grow on his brain and body. Shortly after his diagnosis, he had surgery to remove clusters from his head. He immediately turned to his faith to help him know what to do and how to fight. “I am fighting because I am giving others an example of how to finish well,” Gallick said. “We have adversity, and God gives us a backbone to lean on — and I’m going to use it.” For the sick, their family and caregivers, having faith provides comfort in a bleak situation. “Faith is one of those elements that helps them (patients) find meaning in their lives,” said Winn Allison, an associate chaplain at Lutheran who also works in a hospice center. “It’s a connection to God, Christ, Muhammad, memories of what was meaningful to them in their lives — it’s a source of peace.” At local hospitals and churches, chaplains and pastors say when people are diagnosed with a terminal illness, their faith — however that may look for them — grows as they try to answer one question: “What is life all about?” During these times, Allison said, individuals go through several stages of processing and grief. They review their lives, consider what more they want to accomplish to ensure their last days are filled with happiness and quality, Allison said. “For most of my patients, if they fall away, it’s for a very brief period of time and they bounce back stronger,” said Dr. Douglas Ney, a neuro-oncologist with the University of Colorado Hospital at Anschutz who specializes in Erdheim-Chester disease. “When people approach this with a good support — either in their faith or outlook — the time that they have really becomes of quality.” Over the past year, Gallick — whose time left is uncertain — has dedicated himself to making sure the time he has
Gerry Gallick and his physician, Dr. Douglas Ney, a specialist in Erdheim-Chester disease at the University of Colorado-Anschutz hospital, shake hands happily after finding out Gallick’s heart was not damaged by the disease on June 16. Gallick now heads to the East Coast for experimental treatment to help treat the disease. Courtesy photo

Through the treatment and education process, he said he has grown closer and deeper in his relationships with God and his family. He recently celebrated 17 years of marriage to his wife, Terry, and has had to move in with his family in Arvada from his native New England. The move, he said, gives him time with his children and grandchildren he might not otherwise have had. On June 18, Gallick returned to his home in New England to try a trial medication that will hopefully help with pain and decrease the number of histiocytes affecting his body. Gallick’s deep faith and determination helps his family stay strong, too, he said. A faith, he added, that will support them after his death. “We’re all in this tornado called illness and I’m not getting out,” he said. “But, hopefully, they can get out and put the pieces back together.”

A DAY AT THE ALMOST-BEACH
Lakewood Sentinel 13
Sand enthusiasts of all ages flocked to Arvada’s 4th-annual Sand in the City festival June 25-26, at the Ralston Park addition. The two-day event featured nine hand-sculpted sand sculptures by local teams and one professionally sculpted piece. The sculptures, each designed by a local team of 20 individuals, represent a theme. From dragons and enchanted fantasy themes to kayaking minions and guitar-playing pigs, the sculptures were made to entertain and that they didfor around 20,000 people. Along with the sand, festival goers enjoyed community vendors, a vibrant kid’s zone and beach-themed entertainment over the course of the sandy event.
“I like this one,” said Silas Montoya, 3, while he and his mom LaNelle, take a selfie with the Red Rocks Community College Foundation’s sculpture and the People’s Choice winner, a dragon. Photos by Crystal Anderson
While children dug for buried treasure, 3-year-old Kattie Underwood from Arvada contentedly built a sand pile during the June 25 annual Sand in the City Festival.
From Minions to enchanted castles, dragons and pigs, the Sand in the City Festival sculptures amazed festival goers of all ages.
This year’s second-place winners, Arvada Young Professionals, took to the seas for their sculpture theme, highlighting characters from Disney Pixar’s “Finding Dory”. Along with the sand sculptures, kids had plenty to keep them occupied. Here Ariana Sedillo, 6, makes a sand-inspired piece of artwork with her name on it.

Fun ways to help preschoolers with math Preschool children love to hold your hand and count steps with you. This is a good way to help them learn that there is a one-toone correspondence Esther Macalady between one numLIFELONG ber and doing one thing or moving on LEARNING to the next number. They can count giant steps, hops, flowers or anthills on your summer walks. These young children can move cereal, crackers, berries, little cars, Lego pieces or a game piece across a board of Chutes and Ladders and other similar games. Help them if they double count or skip a number while they learn one-to-one correspondence. Memorizing counting one to a hundred may be impressive, but counting only helps
children with math if they understand what they are saying. Learning to add Once they can count and understand one-to-one correspondence up to 10, play with addition. Start by adding one to a small number. Use their favorite cereal. If they have one piece and add one more, count how many they have now. Point out the answer is the next number. After some practice, add two using cereal, Legos, cars or something else concrete that they can see and touch. Play this as a game and insert this teaching time into playtime. Some preschool children can keep adding up to 20 or higher. Other children need to wait awhile. Every child is different. Learning should be fun and playful. Spread out the adding over many
days and practice until the concept is mastered. Take turns being the teacher. It’s helpful for your children to play the teacher. Using the math vocabulary and explaining to someone else will help them understand, practice and remember. Other family members will love to see what young children are learning and give them compliments. Learning to subtract Preschoolers also like to play with subtraction. Place three Cheerios on the table. How may are there if we take away one? How many are there if we take away one more? How many are left if we take away the last one? Use the word none and zero, an important concept. Practice taking away one from other numbers up to 10. Interchange the word “subtraction” with the words “

take away” since in math they will need to know both expressions for a while. Again, use concrete items they can see and touch while they talk through the process and explain to you what they are doing. Eating cereal pieces or berries is a good activity. They can take away little objects from a pile. Start with subtracting one. Then try two and more. They can count how many they have left. Practice while doing ordinary random things they love to do.

Young hands guide race cars Drivers range from 5- to 17-year-olds at Junior Drag Races By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The pop, pop, pop of dozens of single cylinder engines filled the air June 24 at young drivers prepared to take their turns on the starting line at the Junior Drag Racing event at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. “I used to come to Bandimere with my dad and I liked drag racing,” Samantha Biesemeier said as she waited her turn to go to the starting line. “Someone suggested junior drag racing, dad said OK, I tried and I really like racing.” The 12-year-old, who attends Dunston Middle School in Lakewood, said has been involved in junior drag racing for four years. “When you pull to the starting line, there is a lot of adrenaline rushing through me,” she said. “I don’t know how to describe the feeling, I just want to go.” She said she has a great time at the races and she often is on the starting line to race drivers who also happen to be her friends. “It is very competitive and everyone wants to win every race,” she said. “But it is almost like everyone racing is a member of the same family. We hang around together when we are here at the track but it is all business when we pull up to the starting line. I also like racing because I can spend time with my parents.” Biesemeyer’s car, like many of the cars, has a simple paint black paint job with few modifications. That isn’t the case with the cars driven by the Steirs brothers. Owen Steirs drives a car adorned with the red, white and blue emblems of Captain America and he wears a red Mohawk-type addition to the top of his helmet. His brother Austin’s car has a lot of green art on it as the Incredible Hulk car. Austin, who has a Mohawk haircut also has a green Mohawk addition on the top of his helmet. Their mother Christie Steirs said the boys got into junior drag racing because her husband and their uncle Roy Anderson are both drag racers and got the boys into the sport. “Owen is currently tied for fifth place in his division and Austin is making runs to earn his license,” the Lakewood resident said. Austin said he is excited and ready to go racing. “This is my first time to go racing,” the boy said. “I think I’ll like it because I like to go fast.” The three days of junior drag racing is an annual Bandimere Speedway event. It began when the track hosted the Junior Drag Racing Western Nationals. The same weekend was held open
Owen Steirs waits his turn to pull to the starting line as he competed in the June 24 Junior Drag Racing event at Bandimere Speedway. The three-day junior drag racing event drew about 150 drivers ranging in age from five to 17 years old. Photos by Tom Munds
Jerry Biesmeier steadies the car as his saughter gets into the cockpit as she prepares to compete in the junior drag races June 24 at Bndimere Speedway. About 150 racers ranging from 5- to 17-year-olds took part in the three-day event. for the weekend called the Junior Drag Shoot-Out Event. “This is a three-day event with a lot of special races and competitions,” John Miller, track media representative, said. “We have almost 150 entries this year from all over Colorado and from a number of other states.” Pit areas were lined with equipment trailers pulled by a variety of vehicles ranging from pickup trucks to motor homes. The car driven in junior dragster races are half the size of the dragsters
driven by adults. There also is a huge difference in horsepower as the junior dragsters for younger age groups are divine by Briggs and Stratton lawn mower-style engines. The older group can upgrade their engines to small motorcycle engines. A base car and engine for younger drivers costs about $5,000 new but used cars are usually available at a lower cost. The cost goes up as drivers get older and the cost for car and engine can be more than $8,000. Driver safety equipment is required
and the equipment to satisfy the rules can cost $500 or more. Each driver must be a member of the National Hot Rod Association. The fee for a year’s membership is $34. Additional costs include the equipment trailer, spare parts, fuel, and race entry fees. Travel expenses would be have to be added in to the total cost of competition if the team goes from track to track. Miller said protecting the drivers is a must so the rules require drivers to wear full sets of protective equipment including safety racing suits and helmets plus they must have the regular five-point safety harness to belt them into the cockpit. Races are open to 5- to 17-year-olds divided into five age groups. Rules for each age group limit the size and speed of the vehicles. For example, five-year-old drivers are limited to a single pass down the track and can’t go from a standing start to the finish line 1/8 of a mile away faster than 20 seconds while 13- to 17-yearold drivers can go a lot faster and can be traveling about 80 miles an hour when they cross the finish line. The races at Bandimere are a local competition. However, there are parentchildren racing teams that travel to other tracks to compete for points with the goal of being named a representative to one of two Junior Dragster finals, the Western Nationals in Tulsa and the Easter Nationals in Bristol, Tenn.
CCU graduate takes Castle Pines title Goddard wins match play tourney in Lone Tree By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com His opponent came close to pulling off a dramatic come-from-behind win, but Colorado Christian University grad Nathaniel Goddard held on to win a major tournament last weekend. He finished the 36-hole final of the
Colorado Golf Association’s Match Play Championship at the Lone Tree Golf Club on June 24 in first place, to earn the 116th title match of the Colorado Golf Association’s oldest tournament.. Goddard now plays out of the Ptarmigan Golf Club in Fort Collins, on June 24 in Josh Seiple played his best golf at the end, but it still wasn’t good enough to overcome a slow start. Seiple, from Castle Pines Golf Club, overcame a 4-up disadvantage after the first 18-holes, to finish
just one stroke off the leader. “In the morning I just didn’t have my stuff,” said the 20-year-old Seiple, a graduate of Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch. “Nathaniel had his, and I just kind of brought some more energy... I was close, played well in the afternoon, but it wasn’t good enough.” Seiple, who had double hip surgery last August and got a medical redshirt at the University of Mississippi for his sophomore season, never led during the finals after carding a 75 during the first 18 holes.
He rallied to make it a close match during the afternoon round, which also included a two-hour rain delay. “After that little hour break between matches, I birdied the first two holes coming out,” he said. “I birdied the fifth after the rain delay so I just got off to a better start. The momentum seemed to change a little bit in my favor.” Seiple evened the match on the 14th hole. Goddard continues on Page 20

Bid for marathon bowling record derailed Todd Wessels was aiming for a Guinness record to help raise money for his son

lane. I will hire someone as security. And I will put up some banners to let everyone know what I am doing and why I am doing it.” His fundraising effort was online through GoFundMe.com. His specific project was called “A penny a frame.” The idea was to bowl about 7,500 frames, and he was asking for donations of $75 per person to go toward getting his son, Cameron, a dog. When the record-breaking effort came to an end, Wessels began contacting those who had donated to the project, giving the
opportunity to withdraw their support. He said most people said to keep the donations. The total collected was about $1,400. He said he will still accept donations to help get his son the seizure-alert dog. For information on how to make a donation, call 720-670-7881 or go to the GoFundMe page. Wessels brought his plan to break the world record to Moe’s, where he said the management opened the doors and the lane to him. “It is awesome what he is doing and to
have him do it on our bowling lanes,” said Moe’s general manager, Josh Alston, the afternoon of June 23. “The entire staff has embraced him and he has become part of the Moe’s family. He is doing this for a good cause. He is a very strong-willed individual battling through the struggles he has faced. We are doing all we can to help him get to the finish line.” Wessels praised all that Moe’s has done for his project. “Everyone here has really stepped up to help me anyway they can,” he said. “They let me stay here around the clock. They lock up the place at midnight and leave me here with one other person so I can continue to bowl. They donate the use of the lanes and even donate the meals they provide for me and my family. I really appreciate what they are doing.” The Guinness Book of World Records requires that at least two video cameras record an attempt at a record. Wessell said he looked at the video and saw the people who stepped over and bowled on his lane. “I sent an email to Guinness, even though I knew the answer,” he said. “They replied that, even though it was not an authorized act, it was considered illegal substitution so my record attempt was over.” Wessels said Cameron, 14, has had epilepsy since he was 6. “He began having more frequent seizures, we had him tested and found he had a rare form of the disease called SCN8A,” he said. “There is no cure but the only way to keep our child alive is to have a seizurealert dog, which lets us know the child will have a seizure in 45 minutes or less. That would be time to administer medication used to prevent a seizure.” He said he decided on the bowling record attempt because the only sport Cameron could participate in, because of epilepsy, was bowling. The rules to break the world record were fairly simple. Wessels was allowed a fiveminute break each hour, he had to bowl at least five games an hour and had to start the five-game set five minutes after each hour. He said you can stockpile the breaks so there was a longer period to eat, rest or take a bathroom break.
to-back Christian University national championship teams, birdied No. 15, but Seiple once again tied the match with a nice up-and-down birdie on the 16th hole. Goddard’s approach shot on No. 17, set up a 6-foot birdie putt, which pushed him into a 1-up lead and then both players parred the 18th.
“He made an awesome putt on 15 and hit an awesome shot into 17 so props to him,” Seiple said. “I just couldn’t get over that hump. He kept the pressure on all day, he putted well and to do that is hard to beat. I took myself out of it in the first match. “I didn’t make a bogey on the last nine holes. I played my last 11 holes
at 3-under. I closed well. It was that morning match that took me out of it. This is about the fourth or fifth tournament back since the surgery. The past few tournaments I’ve started to get into contention. “I wish I could have closed this one out but I’ve been there the last few tournaments.”
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com An apparently unthinking and selfish action sabotaged Todd Wessels’ effort to break the Guinness world record for a 10pin bowling marathon. Moe’s Original Bar B Que in Englewood donated the use of the lane and other support to Wessels’ effort, aimed at breaking the existing record of bowling 134 hours and 57 minutes straight — more than five days — and bowling more than 643 games. Wessels, of Thornton, said he decided to do the bowling marathon as a way to bring attention to the needs of children like his son, who has a potentially life-threatening form of epilepsy, and to raise money to provide his son with a seizure-alert dog. He said training a dog depends on how long it takes, and costs could range from about $5,000 to 10 times that amount. His bid to set the world record ended when he was less than 15 hours from his goals. “I was away from the lane on a break when someone who knew what I was trying to do bowled on my lane,” Wessels, 46, said. “I was heartbroken. I haven’t cried since my mother died, but I cried when I found out what happened.” Wessels bowled a while longer after he knew his effort to break the record would not count — he was required to bowl at least five games an hour. Before the unauthorized bowler ended his effort the night of June 24, Wessels had bowled 703 games, exceeding the world record. But it doesn’t count because the marathon record is for hours and games at the same time. He said the score didn’t matter and he threw a lot of gutter balls. His game scores ranged from a 206 to a 1. “I hate the fact this happened, but it definitely was a learning experience,” he said. “I think I will try to break the record again later this year. I will tape off the area so someone can’t `accidentally’ bowl on my

She was flown from the campsite to University Hospital in Aurora and was reported to be in critical condition, the affidavit said. According to the report, ArchuletaBlasier’s sons watched as Vasquez poured gasoline on their mother and lit her on fire with a lighter. They said the two had been involved for more than a year and often fought. Vasquez denied lighting her on fire, saying she caught on fire while making a fire at the campsite.
River restrictions lifted on Clear Creek As of June 28, people are welcome to enjoy all water activities on Clear Creek once again, as the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office lifted the restricted access order. The restriction was issued on June 9 because of safety concerns with swift-moving water and debris. The ban included Clear Creek Canyon through the city limits of Golden to Vanover Park.Although safety risks have diminished, all users are still encouraged to observe extreme caution because the river is at the high end of the average annual flow rate.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 27, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) ou feel ready to face up to a major change, although it might involve some risks. A once-dubious family member comes around and offers support and encouragement. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Move forward with your plans, despite discouraging words from those who underestimate the Bovine’s strong will. Your keen instincts will guide you well. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding is easily cleared up. Then go ahead and enjoy some fun and games this week. A Libra might have ideas that merit serious consideration for the future. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel as if you’re in an emotional pressure cooker, but the situation is about to change in your favor. Take time out for some well-earned fun. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A shift in your workplace responsibilities creates resentment among some co-workers. Deal with it before it becomes a threat to your success on the job. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Expect some surprises in what you thought was one of your typically well-planned schedules. Deal with them, and then enjoy some lighthearted entertainment.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful: What appears to be a solid financial opportunity might have some hidden risks attached. A hazy personal matter needs to be cleared up. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s a good time to strengthen ties with family and friends. You might feel unsure about a recent workplace decision, but time will prove you did the right thing. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Just when you thought your relationship was comfortable and even predictable, your partner or spouse could spring a potentially life-changing surprise on you.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your usually generous self is overshadowed by your equally strong suspicious nature. You might be judging things too harshly. Keep an open mind. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love and romance dominate the week. Married Aquarians enjoy domestic harmony, while singles could soon be welcoming overtures from loving Leos. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An old health problem recurs, but it is soon dealt with, leaving you eager to get back into the swing of things. A favorable travel period starts this week. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an independent spirit that resists being told what to do. But you’re also wise enough to appreciate good advice. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
