L.L. Bean coming to Park Meadows Company’s first Colorado store plans Nov. 21 grand opening By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com L.L. Bean will open its first Colorado store, and its second west of the Mississippi River, next month at Park Meadows shopping center. The 13,000-square-foot, one-story store is under construction in the former site of Grand Lux Café, on the mall’s east side. The planned Nov. 21 grand opening — the Friday before Thanksgiving — is set just in time for Christmas shopping season. Founded in Maine in 1912, the outdoor equipment and apparel store has focused its stores on the northeast and mid-Atlantic region of the country. “Now we’re setting our eyes out west,” L.L. Bean spokesman Mac McKeever said. “Certain markets like yours have this terrific body of outdoor resources — rivers, lakes, streams and mountains — but also a
population that really enjoys the outdoors. Colorado just made terrific sense. It’s going to be a really great fit for the brand and the store.” Eddie Bauer has a long-standing presence at Park Meadows and REI is just across County Line Road, but L.L. Bean isn’t daunted by its competitors’ proximity. “We’re aware of the competition that’s in the area,” McKeever said. “It’s my belief a rising tide raises all ships. I think it’s a testament to the area these outdoor stores open up in that area.” Additionally, he said, “Opening a store in a market like Denver is going to give people the ability to distinguish the brand in three dimension.” L.L. Bean offers its Outdoor Discovery Schools that includes more than 100 courses, trips and tours on sports ranging from fly fishing to cycling, as well as private lessons and custom adventure, youth camps, free clinics and demonstrations. “It’s a point of differentiation for us,” Meadows continues on Page 20

Hailstorm slams south metro area Reports of broken windows, roof damage By Christy Steadman and Jane Reuter Staff writers

Patrons get peek at library designs Residents like larger size, themed spaces, other features By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Library patrons who got their first look at design plans for three future Douglas County libraries expressed a shared sense of enthusiasm. Douglas County Libraries held a happy hour-style Sept. 23 open house about its trio of projects at Lone Tree’s Seasons 52 restaurant. Library-goers sipped red wine and sampled flatbread as they studied color designs and graphics that were generated based on surveys specific to each of the three branches. The most common concern about proposals for the Castle Pines, Parker and Lone Tree libraries was the ability to provide both quiet and social areas under a single roof. But library users who voiced that worry said they’re cautiously optimistic the design will address it. “My husband and I had some concerns before we got here,” said Parker senior Dorothy Maginsky. “We thought it might be very childcentered, and forget the older people.
Castle Pines city council member Roger Addlesperger, left, talks with Castle Pines Library program liaison Cherie Ellingson about plans for the community’s new library during the same open house. They’ve reassured children will be catered to, but they’ll be on the main level.” The libraries all will open within about three months of one another, starting in late 2015. All will have two stories and similar designs that include family space, quiet study areas, flexible meeting rooms and expanded collections. Parker’s new Mainstreet library
will be nearly double its current size. Lone Tree’s new structure in RidgeGate will be about two and a half times larger than the existing Lone Tree Parkway building. Joe Wilson lives in eastern Highlands Ranch, but he and his family regularly use the closer Lone Tree library. Library continues on Page 10
Evidence of the previous afternoon’s hailstorm was everywhere the morning of Sept. 30: Piles of hail still stood in parks and shady corners of yards; leaves and debris clogged sewer drains; homeowners used shovels and hoses to clear sidewalks and driveways carpeted in prematurely fallen green leaves; and car dealerships declared hail sales. Golf-ball-sized hail was reported in Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Centennial and other parts of south metro Denver on Sept. 29. “About every car got it, used and new,” said Julie Lowinski at the Lone Tree Don Massey Cadillac dealership. “It’s just devastating.” Next door at Ed Bozarth Chevrolet, yellow letters written on the windshield dark gray SUV parked at the dealership’s entrance told the same story: “Hail Sale! Save thousands!” “We got hit very hard, every car,” said manager Keith Molkenthin. “It broke two windows in our building because it was so windy and coming down at a 45-degree angle.” About 30 burglar alarm calls can be attributed to the weather, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Ron Hanavan said. Additionally, there were some reports of roof damage and broken windows that are weather-related, the sergeant said. Phones at David Trudell’s State Farm Insurance office in Lone Tree were ringing steadily the morning of Sept. 30. “So far, mostly we’ve been getting a lot of car damage,” Trudell said. “A lot of things like broken-out back windows and windshields. You’ve got to have some pretty good-sized hail to break windshields.” He expected reports on residential property damage to come later. “It takes a while longer to assess the damage to homes,” Trudell said. Allstate Insurance agent Michelle Colaizzi said her office, which is located in Highlands Ranch, received close to 50 claims for damage on vehicles and homes within three hours. For it being a “short, very concentrated storm,” Hail continues on Page 20

Romney rallies GOP troops Former presidential candidate joins Beauprez, others in Littleton By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney threw red meat at Republicans in Littleton on Sept. 29, blasting the record of Gov. John Hickenlooper during a rally to urge support for GOP candidates this fall. Romney, who spoke inside the gymnasium at Heritage High School, took aim at Hickenlooper in a number of areas, while linking the Democratic governor’s policies and leadership style to that of President Barack Obama. Romney said Hickenlooper “stands out for his indecisiveness” and urged those in attendance to throw their support toward the Republican running to unseat Hickenlooper, Bob Beauprez. “The people of Colorado are going to have to do the right thing and elect a person who knows what it takes to make a decision and stick by the decision and do what’s right by the people of Colorado…” Romney told a cheering audience. Romney — a former Massachusetts governor who lost a 2012 presidential campaign against Obama — called Beauprez “a decisive man and a good man” who can lead the state in a better direction. “This is going to be a great governor,” Romney said. “Colorado is going to be proud of this governor.”
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney listens as Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez speaks inside the gymnasium of Littleton’s Heritage High School on Sept. 29. Photo by Vic Vela Beauprez then took the stage with Romney, and he also fired away at Hickenlooper and Obama — whom Beauprez dubbed “Obama-Looper.” The effort to tie Democratic candidates to Obama — who is mired in low approval ratings — has been something Republican hopefuls have been doing all election cycle. “We’ve gotten into a situation, whether it’s from Barack Obama or his friend John Hickenlooper, where we’ve got government on the people instead of government by and for the people,” Beauprez said. Beauprez attacked the governor for his “failed leadership” in a number of areas. They included Hickenlooper’s signing of
controversial gun-control laws and his granting of a temporary reprieve for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap — which has become a favorite Beauprez attack line during the campaign. Beauprez’s lieutenant governor running mate Jill Repella, a Douglas County commissioner, also attacked Democratic candidates before she introduced Romney to the stage. “All they can do is put forth weak men with bad ideas,” Repella said of Democrats. “I’m tired of it.” Romney and Beauprez were joined by a slate of other Republican candidates who are on the fall ballot, including U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, who is running in a tight
Senate race against Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. Other Republican office-seekers who spoke were Secretary of State candidate Wayne Williams, Attorney General hopeful Cynthia Coffman and Don Ytterberg, who is running for Congress in the 7th Congressional District. Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, who is in a tight 6th Congressional District re-election bid against former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, also spoke at the rally. Hickenlooper’s team believes that voters will reward his leadership over the state’s post-recession economy, one that has seen job growth while the unemployment rate has dropped. Democrats mocked Romney’s visit, with Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio calling Beauprez and Romney “political twins” who are on the wrong side of key issues. Palacio hopes voters remember that Romney infamously said during the 2012 campaign that 47 percent of Americans “are dependent upon government,” and that they also remember Romney’s comments during a Republican presidential primary debate, where he said that undocumented immigrants should “self-deport” out of the country. “They’re both wrong on immigration issues, women’s issues and their philosophies on governing are simplistic, unrealistic, divisive and dangerous for Colorado’s families and small businesses,” Palacio said.

Lone Tree Chamber names new president Former Wisconsin chamber director says move is ‘a dream come true’ By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Wisconsin native Mary Martin spent much of her 20s hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, pondering life’s mysteries, photographing the beauty of the mountains and wishing she someday might live in Colorado. Years later, with a son in college and a resume documenting an already successful career, Martin’s wish has come true. On Oct. 6, she’ll start her job as president of the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “I just have to pinch myself once in a while,” Mpulse_10.2.14_CCM Martin said. South Central.pdf 1
Martin most recently worked as executive director of the Plymouth, Wis., Chamber of Commerce. Plymouth, a town of about 8,500, is located between Milwaukee and Green Bay. “She has experience in a chamber for a community of approximately the same size as Lone Tree, and a lot of marketing experience,” interim director and Lone Tree Chamber founder Donna Russell said. “It felt like a really Martin good fit.” Former Lone Tree Chamber director Linda Harmon resigned in September 2013 after just seven months on the job. Russell has led the organization since then. Martin has a bachelor’s degree in business communications/management and a master’s in education. Though she taught for a while, she found her passion as mar9/26/14 2:46 PM
keting director of the Wade House historic site near Plymouth. “They had never had a marketing person there before, so I was building it from the ground up — which I found was really my niche,” she said. Martin learned not only the marketing business, but how to create community partnerships. She used those skills at the Plymouth Chamber to help bring it to “the next level,” she said. The new president sees commonalities between Plymouth and Lone Tree, among them a varied mix of members and plenty of locally owned businesses. She complimented Lone Tree Chamber board members for their “warm, engaging and engaged” manner. “That’s one of the things that really attracted me to the positon,” she said. “They’re down-to-earth but ready to roll up their sleeves and get involved.” Martin already has an action plan,
which starts with short- and long-term strategic planning. “In my opinion, that’s what’s critically needed in order to grow the chamber,” she said. “I would like to look at some additional programming, and beef up what they already have to increase membership benefits. But we need to do the big picture first.” Martin will join her husband who already is living in Golden; he moved to Colorado late last year to accept a job. The couple plans to move closer to Lone Tree or to the city itself. Though the two traditionally have vacationed in Colorado and already are familiar with some of the state, Martin — a longtime Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers fan — confessed she’s still warming up to Denver sports teams. “I’ve gone to a Rockies game,” she said, “and I’m working on developing knowledge about the Broncos.”

Seniors living in Douglas County need better access to housing and affordable transportation, surveys show. Part of the Living Well and Aging Well Project, the Douglas County Senior Initiative conducted two surveys with the purpose “to better understand how county residents are connected to the community and their future interests. Deputy county manager Barbara Drake presented the survey results at a Sept. 24 Highlands Ranch Metro District board study session meeting. The surveys were conducted in two parts, one for providers of services concerning seniors, and one for senior residents. Responses from both surveys reveal affordable and accessible housing and transportation are the services most lacking in Douglas County. According to the provider survey results, 48 percent of the participants believe affordable housing for seniors in Douglas County is the main concern of the low-ranking services. Emergency services, law enforcement, recreation or fitness and libraries ranked high and were among the services that seniors have easy access to, according to both surveys. “Healthcare is not too far from the top,” Drake said, “but it didn’t make it to the top tier.” The results come from 68 service providers that participated and 648 seniors living in different areas of Douglas County. The surveys were conducted in 2013. Invited to participate in the provider survey were “people who serve seniors in a variety of ways,” Drake said, and included local
law enforcement, retirement communities and recreational facilities. Almost 75 percent of resident participants were between the ages of 56 and 75, Drake said. They responded online, at meetings and events or by home delivery. Eighty percent of survey respondents feel connected to the community they live in, but some do not feel connected, in part, because “they lived too far away from activities, and had accessibility/transportation problems,” according to the summary report. Communication was also an important aspect of the survey. “Providers believe that community activities, speaking events, educational seminars, word-of-mouth and newspapers were the most effective modes of communication.” Residents between the ages of 56 and 75 prefer the Internet and local newspapers, and those 76 or older prefer television. Seventy-five percent of respondents feel local government does not communicate information “regarding issues impacting people over 60 clearly or with enough frequency.” A large majority suggested email from community leaders is a preference to receive this information, according to the survey summary. The survey also found there is a gap in the resource areas of “money management services, legal assistance and mental health services.” However, connectivity of the service provider network will take priority. “Before we start talking about the gaps,” Drake said, “we need to make sure everyone is connected.” Find more information at www.douglas. co.us/communityresources/senior-initiative/

Parents share frustrations about school By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Emotional parents packed the gymnasium at Copper Mesa Elementary on Sept. 23 to share concerns about their school with Douglas County School District leaders. A drop in student performance, high teacher turnover and fears that the traditional neighborhood school might shift to a specific academic theme has divided the Highlands Ranch school’s parent community. Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, chief financial officer Bonnie Betz and assistant superintendent of elementary education Ted Knight were among the district staff who sat at a table in front of the crowd, attempting to address questions and calm the unease. “We all know this is tearing our community apart,” said parent Shannon Palumbo, who led the meeting with fellow parent Stacy Hammond in a hope to unite as a community and work toward solutions. Along with parents, the audience of about 200 included some current and former teachers and Douglas County residents with no children at the school who are concerned about district-level issues and policies. Copper Mesa’s grade on the Colorado School Grades website recently fell, going from an A to a B-plus. The site bases its grades on state data. Additionally, the school lost 19 of 68 staff members in 2014, including the principal. “At most we’ve seen two to three teachers leave due to family reasons, maternity leave or to go to another school,” Palumbo said. “We want to figure out why that’s happening in our Copper Mesa community. ... We want our teachers to be listened to and their concerns recognized. Research shows if teachers are happy, kids perform well. That same research shows if teachers are unhappy, that’s when you have problems with your students.” The introduction last year of an innovative classroom with an individualized curriculum made some parents worry the entire school will change its focus as a few other DCSD schools have done. For example, Castle Rock’s Meadow View Elementary adopted an artful learning curriculum, and Larkspur Elementary an environment-based education. Principal Peggy Griebenow said a survey shows Copper Mesa parents want to remain a traditional school.
“We want to retain a neighborhood, well-rounded, whole-child teaching approach in a non-niche educational facility,” Hammond said. Fagen said it’s not the district’s intent or decision to force any changes. “No school in Douglas County is required to declare any sort of programmatic approach, although it is an option if they want it,” she said. “Our conversation has been and continues to be (that) we partner with parents and empower them to make the very best choices for their children.” Parent Lee Tompkins said the problems go beyond the elementary school. “The issues we are experiencing at Copper Mesa Elementary are a reflection of a larger district-wide problem in Douglas County where our teachers are being bullied and intimidated, and the (board’s) agenda is pushing neighborhood schools in directions not supported, or even understood, by the parental community,” he said. Some parents said many teachers feel unsupported by and fearful of the district. Fagen encouraged such teachers to talk to district leaders. Despite rumors to the contrary, she said, no teacher has lost a job for doing so. “If the teachers here feel they need additional information or support from me or any (one), we’re absolutely here to do that anytime,” she said. Griebenow, new to the school this year, said she is dedicated to improving communication and getting the school back on track. “We have a culture that needs to be healed; I understand that,” she said. “I want you to know when I come to a community, I’m invested. I feel very loyal and protective of all of you, despite what your differences are.” Fagen said high-performing schools are sometimes “challenged by growth.” “The entire state of Colorado (TCAP scores) did go down this year,” she said. “Copper Mesa has very high trends and very likely will return to those high trends. “I just want to say we’re here to support the school, the community and Peggy moving forward from here in the way that is best for students at Copper Mesa, whatever way we can do that.” Palumbo said after the meeting that she felt the eve-
ning was beneficial, and the first step toward bringing the Copper Mesa community back together. Other parents expressed a similar sense of optimism. “While I don’t believe all of our concerns were fully addressed, and few, if any, resolutions to our concerns were presented by Ms. Fagen and her staff, I think the community dialogue was a good start on — hopefully — a road to resolution,” Tompkins said.

Business translates smoke signals The brown cloud that used to hover over downtown Denver was not so evident when walking on the 16th Street Mall, but very clear from afar — let’s from say the Thornton Parkway exit on Interstate 25. In a similar way, others may have a good perch to size up a public perception cloud over Colorado since recreational marijuana was recently legalized. The Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. took just such an opportunity to query business leaders at its 2014 Metro Denver Site Selection Conference Friday at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The question was posed to an invited panel of site selection experts — those involved in the analysis of choosing the best cities and regions to locate companies in labor, incentives, tax advantages, transportation access and quality of life. When asked about the impact of legalized recreational marijuana, Shinobu Yoshitomi of Colorado Frontiers Consulting said people in Japan were a little shocked at the development. She said they ask if there is more crime, if children are safe and if the streets are more dangerous because of drivers smoking marijuana. Joseph Vranich of Spectrum Location Solutions in California said people are concerned about cultural deterioration, adding
OUR VIEW marijuana can be seen as a contributing negative. Some on the panel said the change is relatively unremarkable to some businesses considering relocation to Colorado, and noted the lighter side of the issue. One panelist noted when out-of-staters find out he is from Colorado, he is jokingly asked if he has any weed. Nonetheless Yoshitomi stressed that the state should communicate that the law has not had a major impact on crime rates to assure foreign companies considering Colorado. Others at the conference agreed efforts should be made to clarify actual impacts. We do agree the state should partner with businesses to show exactly how recreational marijuana is affecting the state. Of course, the revenue from marijuana sales tax going to good use, but we believe the more important piece is to show exactly how recreational marijuana affects the state in terms of crime as time goes on, how it is affecting education and — in an overarching way — summing
how it impacts quality of life. No doubt, concerns are expressed every day. In conversations with teachers, we are told marijuana is now more available to students, and to generalize students known to smoke often experience declining grades. And in our day-to-day observations, we are more likely to see motorists smoking a pipe with marijuana at intersections than in past years. Driving while high — whatever the substance — is a problem, and a top issue for the state to address. The recent launch of a public service campaign “Don’t Be a Lab Rat” with people-sized lab rat cages, to warn high school students and all those under 21 about potential risks of marijuana use is certainly edgy, but discourse generators are welcome as ongoing research seeks to better identify health risks. Now that recreational marijuana is legal, the state’s challenge is to make sure it does no damage to innocent bystanders or the overall quality of life. For those who smoke or consume edibles the pros and cons, and best practices of using the drug should be made clear as well. We’re proud to be a destination state, and it doesn’t take much time on our soil for people to take a shine to Colorado. Let’s keep it that way.

Disclaimer: Just because I refuse to use coupons doesn’t mean I am looking down on anyone who does. I just don’t believe in them.

By weight, it’s Laurel and Hardy.

Of course, they never were specifically chewing out coupons, but that’s kind of what I think of when I see someone in a grocery store with a recipe box full of coupons, with dividers. The only coupons I use are the ones that my plumber gives me. His prices, which are all in a three-ring binder, make me light-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
Dear Secretary Duncan, Heritage Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, was honored for leading the way in Green and sustainable health and wellness practices during the “Green Strides Best Practices Tour” on Tuesday, September 16, 2014. Heritage is a “John Irwin School of Excellence,” and recently received an `A’ on ColoradoSchoolGrades.com. Parents want you to know that our school’s success is not due to support from the Douglas County School District upper administration or school board. Rather, it is due to our school’s strong, collaborative leadership, staff, School Accountability Committee and Parent Teacher Organization, which raises more than $115,000 each year to fund things that our sitebased budget from DCSD cannot. Parents contribute record-setting volunteer hours to make up for the shortage of funding for support staff. DCSD has $275 million of unfunded capital needs, yet district administrators continue to waste money on fluffy appearances and PR. Our school looked like a construction zone for 10 days leading up to the tour, while DCSD maintenance crews spruced up paint, replaced outdated furniture and more.

The best year ever for DCSD Don’t just go along for the ride It’s hard to believe that fall break for the Douglas County School District is just around the corner. After dozens of school visits, forums with parents, and meetings with staff members, I believe this year is shaping up to be the best year ever in DCSD. In fact, just last week, we received notice that 21 DCSD students have been named National Merit Scholarship semifinalists — five more than last year. Student achievement overall has remained high on just about every measure and national publications such as Movoto Real Estate have name Douglas County as one of the top places in the nation to live, due in large part to our excellent schools. Unfortunately, misinformation and attacks against the board of education and the district continue. At the heart of many these critiques is the fact that DCSD no longer has a collective bargaining agreement with any teachers’ union. As a district, we made a decision to do what is best for students and teachers, not what is best for the union. That is a decision we will continue to defend. Some of the recent attacks have trumpeted a need to return to the “good old days.” Simply put, that is a terrible idea. I know that DCSD is better off today than it was five years ago. As a candidate for the board of education in 2011, I ran on a platform of providing a world-class education for our students, increased choice for parents, pay-for-performance for our teachers, and financial stability for our taxpayers. I firmly believe we have achieved the goals and are a better district for it. Consider the budget situation just five short years ago. DCSD was paying union leaders $300,000 a year to build a union with no benefit to students or schools; DCSD was paying $410,000 a year to a benefits consultant who produced very little measurable result; DCSD had a negative fund balance and was in jeopardy of a lower bond rating; DCSD funded constitutionally mandated TABOR dollars with a letter of credit; and, DCSD was in the midst of a four-year pay freeze for teachers with no plans to end the freeze. You might think much of the financial predicament in DCSD five years ago was due to the faltering economy. To an extent,
that is true. However, DCSD actually began implementing cuts to the classroom and pay freezes before any other school district and before the state Legislature cut budgets. Today in DCSD, the outlook is much brighter and more responsible. Our bond rating is AA+, one of the highest in the state and results in millions of dollars of savings to the taxpayer. TABOR is fully funded without the need for a credit card. DCSD ended the practice of paying union leaders to build a union that has little to no benefit for teachers. DCSD has increased the percentage of every dollar going to the classroom. DCSD has significantly increased financial transparency and provides the community with quarterly financial reports and budget projections. Thanks to the implementation of a payfor-performance compensation system, DCSD has offered some of the biggest employee raises in Colorado over the last two years. In addition, the district’s teacherretention numbers are very impressive. In 2014, DCSD had a total teacher turnover rate of 13.1 percent. Perhaps most impressive, the district retained 94 percent of teachers rated as highly effective and 90.4 percent of teachers rated as effective. There was a 100 percent turnover of ineffective teachers and a nearly 30 percent turnover of partially effective teachers. By every measure, DCSD is on the right course and the sky is the limit. Our students and staff are accomplishing amazing things every day. I encourage every community member to visit the district website (www. dcsdk12.org) or download the DCSD mobile app from iTunes or GooglePlay and learn more. Kevin Larsen is president of the Douglas County School District Board of Education. He was elected to the board in 2011.

district is entrusted to guarantee a uniform system of free public schools for all American children. If you were to tour other DCSD elementary schools, you would learn that many struggle to raise $10,000 each year to supplement their site-based budget needs. Some are simply in neighborhoods with lower family incomes. DCSD is driving schools to choose “innovation” programs to guide curriculum in order to compete for student enrollment. This is not a uniformly feasible model for public education when parents fund the programs — NOT our public education tax dollars. Every public school deserves the necessary resources to provide amazing opportunities to their students — not just the ones who can afford to pay for it themselves. Thank you for taking the time to honor our schools. Respectfully, Cristin Patterson Heritage Elementary Parent, spokeperson for Douglas County Parents
Stand up to privatization of schools
I just received an email from Douglas County School District Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen in regard to the READ Act and the Innovation Waiver Resolution that the board of education passed last week, indicating that “DCSD has been working to find a way to support schools who would like to return to quality accountability systems for their students,” meaning a way out of certain standardized tests. If you dig deeper, you will find that the Colorado Innovation Statute and the board of education resolution were taken straight from the American Legislative Exchange Council. Dr. Fagen and the board would like for us all to think that they are coming up with their experimental reforms all on their own, but nothing could be further from the truth. They are simply puppets for the ALEC and the Friedman Foundation. The Innovation Waiver Resolution could be the final nail in the coffin of DCSD public schools if we allow it. Do some research and do your part to stop the latest push to privatize our schools. Kathleen Boyer Highlands Ranch

Did you ever notice that whenever we seem to be in a rush to get somewhere fast, the people in front of us move so slowly that they are almost moving in reverse? As I traveled this past week from city to city, on trains, planes, automobiles, boats and trams, there seemed to be a force in the universe that was trying very hard to help me miss my various forms of transportation, and I was cutting it ever so close to make each meeting or appointment. Yet as I was forced to stand still on an upward-moving escalator due to the mass of human traffic ahead of me, I had a few extra seconds to think about how analogous this was to where I am currently on my personal goals for the year. Like many of you, I am a little behind on my goals and objectives for the year. So as I stood still riding the escalator, I wondered if I had become a little too complacent in the pursuit of my dreams and aspirations. Maybe my thinking moved from personal action to a thought process of letting someone else or something else do the work for me, just as an escalator moves me up or down from point A to point B. Later in the week, I was on an escalator all alone, no luggage, just my backpack. And I chose to stand still and take the free ride to the top. About halfway up, I had a revelation. I began the climb, helping myself to the top

or Coca-Cola? It was Coca-Cola. Those guys were ahead of everyone else with almost everything when it came to marketing. They still are. Have you ever spent a day without seeing a Coke ad, or a sign, a vending machine or Coca-Cola merchandise? Impossible. “It is estimated that between 1894 and 1913 one in nine Americans had received a free Coca-Cola, for a total of 8,500,000 free drinks,” per Wikipedia. When I write to a manufacturer about a product, and complain (which is one of my hobbies), they send me a coupon for more of the same thing. That seems contrary. I told one manufacturer that they made the worst paper towels on earth, and I received coupons for more of them.
just a little faster than I would have if I had just stood still. I was re-inspired to make up lost ground on my goals, dreams, and personal and professional objectives. As we enter the fourth quarter of the year, there is still plenty of time to course-correct and get back on our path. And we can either allow the escalators of life dictate our progress, up or down, or we can take control toward the achievement of what we desire. How about you? Are you standing still and taking the ride, or do you proactively assist the escalator in assisting you? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we escalate our goals it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach. By 1965, half of all of the families in the United States were using coupons. Recently I went to an art-supplies store to buy a tube of paint. They were having a big Labor Day sale. Canvases were two for the price of one. The kicker was that the tube of paint was $10 over market. The cashier asked for my email address. I said “No. Does anyone give you their email address?” “Yes, for the coupons.” “Are there coupons for this paint?” “Are you kidding? That’s how we cover the coupons.” I left without the paint. I bought the same paint the next day when my usual store reopened. No coupon, $10 less, a happier consumer.

Three new facilities to follow similar themes By Jane Reuter jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com
Douglas County’s three future libraries all will provide the classic library experience with a fresh twist, Douglas County Libraries director Bob Pasicznyuk said. “It’s taking the traditional library feel and twisting it to add pizzazz,” said Pasicznyuk, during the Sept. 23 open house for the planned Parker, Castle Rock and Lone Tree library buildings. Douglas County Libraries has budgeted about $34 million to construct the buildings; $24 million already is in the bank and $10 million will be financed, Pasicznyuk said. The first of the three — likely Castle Pines — will open in late 2015, with Parker most likely second and Lone Tree probably opening last in spring 2016. The two-story buildings range widely in size — from Castle Pines’ 15,000 square feet to Parker’s 44,000 — but all are being designed to follow common themes. “Since we do have more than
one floor, people want a variety of experiences,” he said. “One-size-fitsall doesn’t give the experiences we’re looking for.” Some areas of the library will play off the themes of books shelved in those sections. For instance, gardening books will be located near the outdoor terrace. Window seats will be provided near books on spirituality and poetry. “We’ll have half a dozen places where the design feels like the subject,” Pasicznyuk said. Some areas will encourage interaction and communication, with other sections intended for reading and quiet. Coffee tables and soft chairs will offer a homey sense, in contrast to those with a more businesslike feel and setting. A family area will be the gathering place for story time, arts and crafts and other hands-on activity. “We’re trying to build some of the best of what we see in children’s museums into the children’s library,” Pasicznyuk said. Surveys showed support for a coffee or food vendor in the buildings, but the experiences
of other libraries that have tried them hasn’t been good. “Libraries have struggled mightily to keep their vendors viable,” he said. “We love the feel of that space, and we’re (OK) with food and drink everywhere in the library. “But Parker has six coffee shops within one square mile of our library. The same with Lone Tree; there’s a Starbucks within a stone’s throw. Can we really compete?” While the days of quiet libraries are gone, Pasicznyuk re-emphasized that those spaces will be available within the new structures. “If somebody wants a more sedate feel and we don’t have areas like that, we’ve not done our job in the design,” he said. “But the idea that there’s a spot where no one can speak in the 21st century is not reasonable.”

Local nonprofit advocates breast cancer awareness By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com Breast cancer survivors deserve a day of TLC. And in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, 100 pink chairs will be displayed in the lobbies of restaurants, banks, doctors’ offices and other local businesses. It’s called the Pink Chairity Campaign, and the idea behind it is to have 100 pink chairs and provide free photo shoots for 100 breast cancer survivors. “Breast cancer is a hard thing to go through as a woman,” said Valerie Franklin, a professional photographer who has lost an aunt and two cousins to breast cancer. “It’s to give them a day to forget the surgeries, forget chemo and, hopefully, forget the pain. A little day of pampering.” Everybody has been touched with cancer in some way, Franklin said, and the campaign, in part, is to help bring awareness of a new nonprofit organization based in Highlands Ranch called Stamped With
Love. A photo shoot with Stamped With Love lasts about two hours and includes a 45- to 60-minute professional make-up and hairstyling session prior to the photo shoot, which also lasts 45 to 60 minutes. During the photo shoot, women have the choice to make three to five wardrobe changes. Any breast cancer survivor is eligible for the photo shoot. However, priority is given to those who are currently battling the cancer, Franklin said. As a breast cancer survivor, Stephanie Foster, of Highlands Ranch, already had a photo shoot with Stamped With Love. “An overwhelming number of women have been diagnosed and are suffering with breast cancer. For many, it’s been a rough few years or months,” she said. “It’s important to have a pampering day.” Franklin said people have responded well to her efforts. Complete strangers have come to her and asked to help paint chairs. Even local companies have gotten involved, she said. Home Depot donated five gallons of pink paint, Eron Johnson Antiques donated five chairs and Maria Empanada Restaurant donated six chairs. “They’re beautiful chairs, and they work for exactly what we need,” she said.
Stamped With Love started as a volunteer ministry group from Inversion Community Church, Franklin said, but she decided to make it its own nonprofit in order to accomplish more with the organization. “Women all too often take care of everybody else, but it’s OK to be treated special every once in a while,” Franklin said. “The goal is to make all breast cancer survivors feel special.” The chairs will be going out to the local businesses in October. In November, the chairs will be auctioned off, and the photo shoots are slated to begin in December, Franklin said. So far, about 80 chairs have been donated, painted pink and are ready to go to the local businesses, Franklin said, but there is still a need for chair donations. Franklin said she is able to pick up the chairs, as long as the donator lives in Highlands Ranch, Littleton or other nearby areas. Chairs for this year’s campaign can be accepted through October, but people can donate chairs year-round. “We’re not going to do 100 chairs next year,” Franklin said, “we’re going to do 200.” To get involved with the Pink Chairity Campaign or Stamped With Love, call 720215-8773 or visit www.pinkchairity.org.
I am always thrilled to report on a former Rocky Mountain News colleague who found an employment path after the newspaper folded. Former Rocky sports columnist Sam Adams kept nurturing his comedy career as an adjunct to his newspaper job. And now he’s combined both worlds as a sports commentator on 9News and as a full-fledged stand-up comedian. Adams also leverages his local fame to give back to the community, even if that means taking numerous whipped cream pies to his face. On Sept. 27, the Denver comedian and sports personality got his mug mashed in at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center Hotel’s Centennial Room in exchange for donations to Komen Colorado, the local affiliate of Susan G. Komen, the national nonprofit, as part of Komen’s Class of 2014 Pink Tie Guys whose mission is to heighten awareness of breast cancer. If you didn’t make it to the event, but would like to make a contribution, go to www.komencolorado.org. Also on Adams’ agenda is a gig as headliner at 8 p.m. Oct. 1 at Comedy Works downtown, 1226 15th St. Use the promo code “Karen” for a discount when you purchase tickets online at www. comedyworks.com/comedians/486. As a side note, Mr. On the Town, a Missouri native and Mizzou grad, spotted Adams on an Exede Satellite Internet TV commercial after witnessing the Tigers’ upset loss to Indiana on Sept. 20.
Castle Rock, Centennial rate high
Castle Rock is No. 4, Centennial rates a lucky 13 and Boulder boasts No. 23 on Money magazine’s latest list of the nation’s 50 top small cities with populations between 50,000 and 300,000. Here’s how “Money” gathered its list: “Starting with a pool of 781 cities, we used data from Onboard Informatics and other sources to comb through everything from the local economy and housing market to schools and healthcare — more than 50 factors in all. Then, we sent reporters to visit the 35 top scoring places, looking for a sense of community and other intangibles.” Check out the whole story at www.time.com/ money/3312312/castle-rock-colorado-bestplaces-to-live/.

The keynote address will be given by former 9News traffic and weather reporter Amelia Earhart, who recently completed the around-theworld flight of her namesake.

Writers to flock to Castle Rock Conference offers 28 sessions for authors By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com On Oct. 4, writers from across the Front Range and farther afield will convene at the Douglas County Events Center in Castle Rock to take part in their choice of 28 workshops offered through the day. The sessions will look at writing from many perspectives: children’s picture books, memoirs,
nonfiction, fiction and how to get them polished, published and marketed. The first two workshops begin with a practical opportunity: Photographer Buck Anderson will take headshots that writers can use to market their books for $25, paid when you register. Bring a flash drive with you to carry it away and use for social media sites, etc. Business aspects of a writer’s trade include how to pitch a story to editors and agents, how to find that agent (several are on the program), how to produce a book trailer for YouTube (Castle Rock nature writer Mary Taylor Young will teach this as well as “Making your Non-Fiction Sing
Through a Narrative Thread”). There are workshops on plotting, character development, writing for preschoolers, young adults … “Know Your Genre” looks at how to sort it all out. Claudia Cangilla McAdam of Highlands Ranch, who has recently sold two picture books to different publishers, will offer a workshop called “Picture This!” The keynote speaker will be Laura Pritchett, author of a new novel, “Stars Go Blue.” She has published other full-length works, won the Colorado Book Award and PEN Award for Fiction, and published more than 100 essays and short stories in magazines.
The Castle Rock Writers will provide a scholarship to one high school student and offer a reduced registration fee for other 10th- to 12th-grade students ($35). Registration includes continental breakfast, buffet lunch and four workshops, the keynote address and a free agent pitch while they last. Walk-in registration on the morning of the conference is $85. (Online registration is closed.) The Douglas County Events Center is a 500 Fairgrounds Drive in Castle Rock. Workshops run from 9:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Information is found at castlerockwriters.com.

UKRAINE AT A Tipping Point SEVENTY YEARS of Soviet control of Ukraine ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. During that time Ukraine suffered extensive famines, deportation of its citizens, and repopulation of its country by ethnic Russians. Since independence, Ukraine has aligned more with the west, resulting in escalating tension between ethnic Russians and Ukrainians. Recently Russia has sent troops into Ukraine in an effort to protect their interests as Ukraine has destabilized. This has dramatically escalated the crisis.

SPORTS Jaguar gymnasts place 11th at annual meet
18 Lone Tree Voice
October 2, 2014
Ponderosa, Rock Canyon among schools competing at Cherry Creek Invitational By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Oohs and aahs echoed each time a gymnast hit an outstanding vault or completed an exceptional floor exercise routine during the Sept. 27 Cherry Creek Invitational. Watching the meet required attention and focus because a girls gymnastics meet involves competition in four events — vault, floor exercise, uneven parallel bars and balance beam and since 11 teams took part in the Cherry Creek Invitational there were teams warming up or competing in all four events most of the time. “This is my first invitational gymnastics meet,” Douglas County resident Marla Pennington said. “My good friend’s daughter is an eighth-grader who is in gymnastics and came today to watch the Rock Canyon team perform. They invited me so I came to watch. It is so exciting and all the girls are so graceful and talented. I think I’ll be going to more meets in the future.” Each event involves individual and team competition. Individually, each gymnast seeks to win a specific event and, if performing in all four events, earning enough points to win the all-around title. Each team can enter a maximum of six gymnasts in each event and the team score used to determine a meet winner is based on the points earned by a team’s gymnast in each event. Broomfield won the team title with a score of 181.375, Overland was second with a score of 179.225 and Cherry Creek was third with a score of 178.725. Ponderosa finished sixth with 173.275 and Rock Canyon was 11th with a score of 164.30. Ponderosa coach Lisa Fisher said it has been a good season so far for the Mustangs. “We are basically a young, talented team with 35 girls on our roster and 14
Rock Canyon gymnast Kati Conger warms up for her performance on the balance beam during the Sept. 27 Cherry Creek Invitational. Broomfield won the team title and the Jaguars finished 11th wih a score of 164.30. Photo by Tom Munds who compete regularly at the varsity level,” the coach said. “We do pretty well in dual meets but, because so many of our gymnasts are young, they have not experienced the atmosphere at the larger invitational meets. I think that lack of big meet experience is why we don’t seem to do as well in those competitions.” Fisher said she is proud to be coaching at her alma mater. After she graduated from Ponderosa, she competed in gymnastics at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minn. before returning to Ponderosa to teach and coach. “Gymnastics is the only sport for the majority of our girls,” the coach said. “They compete with club teams the rest of the year. Competing in gymnastics all year builds their talent plus it allows me to train
to safely train them to execute the harder skills.” Ponderosa’s Katie Steward finished fifth on the uneven parallel bars with a score of 9.125. She also competed in the other three events and finished 10th in the all-around standings with a score of 35.60. Rock Canyon coach Victoria Fenzer said the Jaguars are a very young team with only three seniors on her roster. “The three seniors provide our team leadership but I think it is awesome to have a young team. It is hard when you have a lot of seniors because you know you lose some of your girls to graduation. But it is fun working with the young gymnasts that will be with you for two, three or four seasons.” This is Fenzer’s second season at Rock
Canyon and she said she has spent the time getting to know the caliber of talent of each of her athletes and to learn which event is the best event for each of the gymnasts. “Vault is our strongest event this season,” the coach said. “Most of our girls are quick physically and mentally and vault is a quick-action event so they do well.” Taylor Krason, a Jaguar senior, said she liked to roll around on the floor as a child, and her parents put her in a recreational gymnastics program, prompting her to fall in love with the sport. “My favorite event is the uneven parallel bars,” she said. “I like the bars because I feel like I am flying. I actually like it best when I am in the giant swing and upside down so I can see the ground.”
Falcons find focus in legendary win Highlands Ranch pulls to 7-7 on season with victory over Titans By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Highlands Ranch volleyball coach Lou Krauss wonders what a group of student supporters will do if the Falcons win an especially crucial match this season. A troupe of students carried him around the court after the Falcons defeated Legend 3-0 in a Continental League match Sept. 25 in the Titans gym. “I only get carried off when our crazy, rowdy friends show up,” said Krauss. “They were there for Mountain Vista too so when we beat Mountain Vista they carried me off too. I hate to see what would happen if we won something really big.” Highlands Ranch’s victory over Legend snapped a three-match losing streak and improved the Falcons overall record to 7-7 and the team’s Continental League ledger to 3-2. The team had five regular season matches remaining after the Legend win, including a Sept. 30 encounter at ThunderRidge. “My four big point scorers have chronic little injuries,” pointed out Krauss. “Sometimes they’re in and sometimes they’re out and they can’t practice so we are not always as smooth as we should be. “We lost some tough matches just because we lose our focus a little bit. Our goal against Legend was put three good sets together. I felt that we stayed focused. It wasn’t always the prettiest volleyball but we didn’t lose our focus especially in the
situation at Legend where it was very loud. We could have easily lost our focus.” The rooting student sections from both schools exchanged cheers throughout the evening but the Highlands Ranch crowd was yelling the loudest at the end. Highlands Ranch reeled off four straight points to win the first set over the Titans 25-22, took six of the final seven points in a 25-18 win in the second set and captured the third set, 25-18. Hannah Braun, a 6-foot senior middle hitter, had nine kills, a 69.2 kill percentage and a .538 hitting percentage against the Titans. Senior outside hitter Jasmine Evans had 10 kills and a 41.7 kill percentage while senior middle hitter Kelly Brunstein led the team with 10 blocks. “We are very wishy-washy,” admitted Braun. “We’ve gotten so much better than from the beginning of the season. I’m proud of the ladies and how hard they have worked. We’re working on the little things to get better. We really want to do well at the end of the season. “We’ve had a lot of close losses in our past games so we just have been working harder in practice. We just needed to dial it in and get the one against Legend. We really worked hard and paid attention to all the details of the game to really step up.” Braun is an emotional player and one of several Falcons that Krauss said has been in and out of practice. “For me I focus on what the other team is doing and then I focus on what I need to do to stop what they are doing,” explained Braun. “I try to help the team, bring them up, just focus on the prize and the stuff we have to do to build up to get that prize. “I put my heart into the game. So it’s a heartbreaker if we do lose. It’s part of my

Photo by Jim Benton life. I spend all year playing it so I can’t let up at all. It’s something I do so I have to put my all into it.” After the ThunderRidge match, Highlands Ranch entertains league-leading Ponderosa Oct. 2, visits Heritage Oct. 7, and then hosts Douglas County Oct. 9 and Regis Jesuit Oct. 15 to conclude the regular league season. Highlands Ranch swept Chaparral, ranked second in the CHSAANow.com poll at the time, on Sept. 9 and Krauss hopes his team can focus now on how they played against the Wolverines to spark a late-season run.
“We played really well against Chap,” said Krauss. “We had focus the whole time. Then we come back and go five with Mountain Vista. We won that but we should have never gone five. It’s a work in progress.” Legend slipped to 1-4 in the league with the loss to Highlands Ranch and is 6-6 overall. “We were a little flat against Highlands Ranch and we had a hard time getting some momentum going,” said Legend coach Katie Winsor. “Highlands Ranch is a great team but both teams are a little bit hot and cold.”

SPORTS ROUNDUP Playing catch for a cure
Regis Jesuit and Rock Canyon will play the third annual “Catch for the Cure” softball game Oct. 4 at Rock Canyon. The Continental League game will promote and support breast cancer awareness and research. Proceeds concessions, t-shirt sales and raffle items, along with Rock Canyon’s second annual “Pink Out” football game Oct. 3 against unbeaten Mountain Vista at Sports Authority Stadium, will be donated to the Jill Lamb Foundation. Jill Lamb, wife of Rock Canyon’s football coach Brian Lamb, lost her battle with breast cancer in 2008. Catch for the Cure festivities will begin at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 4 as breast cancer survivors will be honored with pink carnations and pink softballs prior to the game and the teams will wear pink jerseys in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month. The game is set to begin at 10 a.m.
Football scoreboard
Highlands Ranch awarded Mark Robinson his first win as the Falcons’ football coach with a 39-14 triumph over Fruita Monument Sept. 27 at Shea Stadium. The Falcons, 1-4 overall and 1-0 in the Continental League North, lit up the
scoreboard with one passing touchdown, two rushing scores, another TD on a fumble recovery by Blake Daldegan, a 90-yard kickoff return by Ben Morgan and a 31-yard field goal by freshman Jeremy Henning. Falcons’ sophomore Kobe Eller rushed for 142 yards and caught four passes for 63 yards, with a rushing and receiving TD. In the Continental League South, Chaparral won the renewal of the Pride of Parker series with a 33-30 triumph over Legend in a Sept. 26 contest. Chaparral quarterback Kyle Gallup threw one TD pass and Marco Perez ran for two scores. Sophomore linebacker Patrick Moody was in on 20 tackles for the Wolverines. Legend quarterback Marc Muma threw two TD passes. Valor Christian and Lutheran, topranked teams in the CSHAANow.com Class 5A and Class 3A polls heading into the week’s action, both notched comfortable wins. Sophomore quarterback Dylan McCaffrey led five-time defending state champion Valor to a 35-10 Centennial League conquest of No. 7 Overland. Unbeaten Lutheran improved its record to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the 3A Colorado 7 league with a 47-6 win over Elizabeth (2-3, 1-1). The Lions scored 28 points in the first quarter.

Colaizzi said, it caused a lot of damage to people’s property. Most of the damage on homes consisted of broken windows, and damage on siding and roofs. Auto claims included damage on windshields, hoods, trunks and roofs. Because of all the claims — Colaizzi estimated that across the metro area, hundreds were made — Allstate has declared a catastrophe, and will be bringing in a special catastrophe team to handle them all. Trudell suggested finding someone local to assess roof and other damage before making a claim, and urged homeowners to be cautious in choosing a contractor for any storm-related repair work. “Find a reputable contractor,” Trudell said. “Look up people in the Better Business Bureau and try to get some references on them from local people. I really would advise staying with a contractor who’s in-state because you could get storm chasers from out of state.” Littleton Fire and Rescue Operations Chief Jay Ruoff said although the department responded to car accidents during the course of the storm, none of them can be attributed to the weather.

McKeever said. “We really want to activate the shopping experience, so what you’re going to see in the stores is a pretty active array of demonstrations and clinics, tips and techniques.” In 2013, more than 100,000 people participated in these programs, according to the company. “It’s also meant to help people get outside and enjoy the outdoors,” McKeever said. “We’re trying to remove barriers to participation, and make it as easy as possible for people to get outside.” The Park Meadows store will employ 80 people. The Minneapolis store, located at Mall of America, will open just days before the Colorado site in mid-November. Founded by Leon Leonwood Bean, the company began as a one-room operation selling a single product — the Maine Hunting Shoe. Bean’s great grandson Shawn Gorman is chairman of the company’s board of directors. L.L. Bean is the last in a flurry of Park Meadows’ openings that have included Perry’s Steakhouse, Seasons 52 and LYFE restaurants. “We are pretty much full,” Park Meadows general manager Pamela Schenck-Kelly said. “There really isn’t any opportunity or ability this year for us to do any more stores.” But the recent openings are a reminder that there is nothing as certain as change. Grand Lux Café and Champps sports bar — now site of Seasons 52 — both closed in 2013. “It speaks to how the market changes from a restaurant standpoint,” Kelly said. “Champps was once one of the top restaurants in the entire south Denver.” Also trending in restaurants are high-quality and healthy dining options like Seasons 52 and LYFE. An improving economy means high-quality gourmet options like Perry’s are back in high style. “Let’s face it,” Kelly said, “all of us like to indulge.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 29, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Travel plans could be interrupted by the re-emergence of a workplace problem that was never quite fully resolved. Deal with it at once, and then take off on that well-deserved trip. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Aspects favor cultural activities for sensuous Bovines. Attend a concert or an art show. Better yet, create something yourself (a poem, perhaps?), and dedicate it to someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Respect any doubts you might now be feeling about a new situation. They could be reflecting your inner awareness that some essential information might be missing. Check it out.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) It’s important to start the new month with as clean a slate as possible. Either complete all those unfinished tasks or pass them on to others who would be more than happy to take them on. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time to cut down on expenses and tame that urge to splurge. Applying some financial discipline now could help the Big Cat ride out a possible monetary crunch later on. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Money matters are dominant this week. Recheck your accounts and make sure they’re up-to-date. Also, pay more attention to personal issues before they become major problems. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You might be tempted to employ the same tactics as your adversary, but that could backfire. Better to use the same balanced approach that has worked for you before and could again. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A changing workplace environment could stir up confusion as well as apprehension. Best to ignore the rumors and get the facts. You could find that the changes bring positive elements. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Communication is easier this week with people ready and eager to hear what you have to say. Also, check for possible technical problems before you start your new project. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Aspects favor change for the usually traditional Goat. Opening your mind to possibilities you had ignored could lead you to make decisions you once considered improbable. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Making personal as well as professional adjustments to changing conditions might be easier with more information explaining the “hows” and “whys” of the situations in question. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) With a growing tide of positive reactions to buoy your confidence, this could be the right time to put the finishing touches to your new project and get it well and truly launched. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for setting an example of quiet, calm reasoning in the midst of chaotic conditions. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
