Indoor shooting range opens Facility won’t offer gun store, says owner By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com Bryan Stear always wanted to open an indoor shooting range. He says it’s actually been his personal endeavor since he was an engineering student at University of Colorado. Now, not only will he have met his goal, but Stear will also provide indoor shooting opportunities to the north metro are with the opening of Shoot Indoors in Broomfield. “It was my love for the shooting industry that pushed me to open an indoor shooting range,” he said. “Plus I realized there were no close ranges in the north metro area, so I decided to change that.” Shoot Indoors, at 1 Park St., has been open for a few weeks, but the official grand opening will be Jan. 11. During the opening, Stear is offering 50 lifetime memberships for $1,000 each as well as monthly
membership promotions. He said he’s excited to welcome the community to his new range, a place he hopes someday to be referred to as the “neighborhood shooting range.” “I’m hoping people are excited about the range, and to have a place down the road from where they live,” he said. “I’ve already had some great feedback from people and that they are excited about it, so that that’s what really keeps me going.” Shoot Indoors offers 10 open lanes, that can fit two to three people, and a stateof-the-art air ventilation system. A large customer area with tables and chairs is available to people waiting to shoot and a separate entrance and exit was constructed for people entering and leaving the shooting range. “We don’t do any retail. I deliberately didn’t want to become a gun store,” Stear said. “I don’t want to compete with local gun stores, I want to work with them by recommending people to those stores to purchase a gun. It would also be great if the stores recommended my range for people to shoot at with their newly purchased
Shoot Indoors, a new indoor shooting range in Broomfield, will serve the north metro area, including Westminster, offering 10 lanes and air ventilation. The grand opening will be Jan. 11.

and professional staff, gun rentals and wheelchair accessibility at Shoot Indoors. For more information, visit http://goshootindoors.com/.
‘Great addition to neighborhood’

Whole Foods coming to BradBurn Village By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com By the end of this year, residents in the Bradburn Village subdivision will be welcoming a Whole Foods Market to their neighborhood. Construction is already under way for the 35,000-square-foot building, which
will be located on the southeast corner of Vrain Street and West 120th Avenue in Westminster. The new store will be a relocation of the current Whole Foods at 92nd Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard. “Whole Foods is a great addition to the neighborhood, which was first developed in 2000,” said Roger Pecsok with Continuum Partners, LLC, the Bradburn developer.

“This market is the last remaining parcel of land available for retail or commercial development in the project.” Mark Falcone with Continuum, said Whole Foods is the perfect capstone to a project which set a new bar for walkable, mixed use suburban development in the region. “Bradburn has fulfilled every possible expectation we had for the neighborhood when we began planning it in 2000,” he said. “Residents do walk to get coffee, take their kids to the schools or go meet one of their neighbors for refreshments on their front porch.” Pecsok said feedback from residents is already coming in and is positive regarding Whole Foods. He said he had only heard excitement from residents about having a grocery store at their fingertips. Westminster city manager Brent McFall is also happy with the new addition. “We are very pleased Whole Foods Mar-
ket has opted to bring the city of Westminster an expanded and modernized offering,” he said. “We worked closely with Continuum to insure Whole Foods Market will be able to continue to serve the citizens of Westminster for another 20 years”. According to www.wholefoodsmarket. com, the goal of a Whole Foods Market is to sell the highest quality products that also offer high value for customers. Will Paradise, President of Whole Foods Market’s Rocky Mountain Region, said each store is designed to reflect the unique character of the surrounding community, and this particular Whole Foods will be different than any other store built to date. “The market will be one that local residents can truly call their own,” he said. Although the market is last commercial/retail addition to the subdivision, Pecsok said there is still space for residential development with as many as 90 new townhomes to be built.

Son takes family to uncharted territory Neil DiLorenzo lays the brown folder on the kitchen table. As he tells the tale and to better illustrate his point, he pulls out a map, a list of coordinates, a copy of an email, a log of emergency numbers. The thick file holds a literal paper trail, meticulously plotted, of his son’s extraordinary expedition in unsettled lands far away, a trip of self-discovery taken like pilgrims of old, on foot, alone, depending on the kindness of strangers for food and shelter. And, in this day of immediate and unceasing communication, no cell phone or laptop, therefore — for the most part — no connection to family or friends. “It did hit me, several weeks into it — he’s homeless,” Neil says. “I saw a homeless man and thought, `That’s my son,’ except he’s in a foreign land.” They call it Donovan’s Journey. But make no mistake: It’s Neil and Michelle DiLorenzo’s journey, too, one more in the life of parents, this one lived daily with a worry that hunkers in their hearts, even as they celebrate the unique courage of their child’s unusual quest. Neil: “We don’t really understand why he’s doing this.” Michelle: “It’s something that’s calling him.” Neil: “I think he felt he had to do this to discover himself, to see if he could live without the support of anyone.” For Donovan DiLorenzo, 42, the oldest of Neil and Michelle’s four children, an early career path seemed clear: Make money, lots of it. And as a marketing account executive working for top ad agencies, he was close to earning his first million before 9-11. But the devastating calamity shook him and rearranged his priorities. After researching urban school districts across the country, he decided to teach in the Ninth Ward in New Orleans, a predominantly African-American neighborhood struggling with deep poverty. He earned a master’s in education while teaching there. As Katrina bore down, he delivered two carloads of Ninth Ward residents to his sister’s home in Arkansas for safety, and later
relocated them to Dallas — he still keeps in touch with the families. After Katrina, he gutted flooded homes, cooked in community kitchens and distributed supplies and information to victims. In 2006, he joined the Peace Corps and spent 28 months teaching in Malawi in southeast Africa, one of the world’s leastdeveloped countries. He returned to New Orleans, teaching in a charter school, while also housing and supporting several immigrants from Malawi. “He doesn’t have anything,” Neil says, “but he gives everything he has.” Last summer, Donovan decided to act on a new dream — a pilgrimage through the Middle East and India with the possibility of writing a book about those experiences. To prepare, he gave away all his possessions, including his cell phone and laptop. He mailed books and mementos to his parents’ Highlands Ranch home. He kept one change of clothes, a sleeping bag, a tent and his bike and began cycling to Colorado. For three weeks, Neil and Michelle didn’t know where he was, or how he was. “It was,” says Michelle, who texts her children good morning every day, “awful.” One afternoon, they spotted him riding down the street. “He looked like the UPS man,” Neil says. But Donovan’s test run had proved successful. Planning began for the big journey. “We really wanted him to buy a cell phone,” Neil says. “He refused. He didn’t want to be able to communicate with anyone.”

with careful precision. He circles the coordinate locations in black marker and writes the date, then highlights the route in yellow. Occasional emails from Donovan are carefully tagged and posted onto the website, donovansjourney.com, so that family and friends can follow, too. Neil posts information on Facebook, as well. Donovan has journaled three stories about his trip so far, also on the website. He writes about sleepless nights in the open listening to packs of wild dogs outside of Nazareth, the spontaneous kindness of strangers inviting him to tea and conversation, playing with children near the Dead Sea. After walking 661 miles through the Middle East, including a brief stay in Egypt with a friend during which he was able to call Neil and Michelle, Donovan is now walking through India. Inadequate computer and satellite networks have prevented the GPS tracker from sending coordinates. “I worry more about him getting sick and if he gets sick what is he going to do,” Michelle says. “I pray every day that he doesn’t get sick.” “It’s the unknown,” Neil says, “and how is he going to handle it.” Through scarce emails, they knew Donovan had traveled in December to a well-known ashram in Puttaparthi to meditate and study awhile. “He’s right here,” Neil says, pointing to the town north of Bangalore. “I feel he’s in a safer place. The only negative is I don’t hear from him every three days.” Despite the worry, their son’s adventure leaves them in awe. “I envy what he’s doing,” says Neil, an avid hiker. “I wish I would have thought of something like this. . . . ” “I feel he has a calling and we’re behind him the whole way — we will support him always,” Michelle says. “I just wish he’d be home.” On Jan. 3, Neil checked his email to find a priceless New Year’s gift — a message from Donovan, the first since Dec. 20. “The path has changed a bit,” Donovan wrote. “I feel the need to pay respects to Gandhi and the Dalai Lama.” He is headed to their ashrams. Although he mentioned possibly returning to Colorado in May and that he had experienced some “tenuous times,” he also noted he wanted to spend three months working with Mother Teresa’s Sisters of Charity in Calcutta. “Obviously, as things unfold, he wants to do more and more things,” Neil says, “but it’s kind of hard to see what he will do for sure.” So, Michelle and Neil wait. It’s all they can do. “He is,” Michelle says, “always in my prayers and in my mind.” Ann Macari Healey’s column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

A friend told Neil about a lightweight GPS tracker that fits in the palm of a hand. “You’re not talking to us,” Neil told Donovan. “You’re not really communicating. At least, as long as the coordinates are moving, we’ll know you’re alive.” So, Donovan agreed. Every three days, he would activate the GPS device. Neil would plot the latitude and longitude on maps and be able to follow his route. The outgoing, friendly boy who loved sports but not hiking or being outdoors, and who often took three showers a day because he was a bit of a clean freak, strapped on Teva sandals, determined to push his boundaries even further. He boarded an airplane for Jordan Aug. 26. “This journey is really a pilgrimage of sorts,” he wrote before he left on a website set up by family to track his travels. “I’ll walk a good portion of my travels such that the journey is slower by nature, giving me more time to think, write and connect with others . . . . As in a traditional pilgrimage, I step out without many resources and see how life unfolds. Not expecting this to very easy, but meaningful.” He had enough money and a credit card to buy local clothing and necessary border and travel documents. The first night in Amman, he spent in a hotel. And then, he was on his way. The first three weeks, Neil and Michelle slept two to three hours a night. Neil developed a routine, checking email as soon as he woke to see if the GPS tracker had sent coordinates, then heading down to the kitchen for coffee with Michelle. One of the earliest locations came through Sept. 2. Neil spreads the map of Jordan, Syria and Israel on the table. His finger jabs the location he has circled in black marker. “He was trying to cross the King Hussein bridge. . . which made me nervous because he’s going from Jordan to Israel . . . ” On Sept. 6, another set of coordinates arrived. They put Donovan just south of the Sea of Galilee. “He’s two, three miles from the Syrian border,” Neil says. “Within a day of that, Obama said we’re going to declare war. For all I knew, he knew nothing of the problem. . . . (A friend in Egypt) said he’s got to get out of there; he’s got to get a gas mask. We were just totally petrified.” Michelle misses being able to talk to Donovan every day. “I am very nervous . . . that has been really, really hard not knowing where he’s at,” she says. But “you have to let them do their own thing.” Sometimes, finding the locations doesn’t alleviate the worry. Neil folds open another map, a topographical one that seems to depict mountains and no roads. “When I see him in the middle of nowhere, like this,” he says, “it makes me even more concerned.” But Neil has become an expert map finder. What seems like mountains on one map turns out to be hills with a dirt road on another. Neil’s maps trace Donovan’s journey
The Westminster Station Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area will be located around the future Westminster Station, consisting of 135-acres bound by Federal Boulevard and Lowell Boulevard, 72nd Avenue and approximately 68th Avenue.

New center to provide historical resource Westminster History Center looking for donations small and large By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the first time, Westminster historical documents will have a home for safe keeping. The Westminster Historical Society, with the help of Adams County School District 50, is creating the Westminster History Center in the Pleasant DeSpain Sr. Schoolhouse at 7200 Lowell Boulevard. Currently the 7,700-square-foot-building is practically empty, so the society is hoping to get some help from the community to fill it up with items to make the center a successful resource for the community to learn the history of the city. “Right now the society runs the Bowles House Museum, which is where all the physical pieces of history are , but the society doesn’t have a place to keep records that are fully accessible and can be used in an educational way,” Amy Newman, director of the Westminster History Center said. “Now we have a visible building that is also on the National Register of Historic Places.” Newman said she is in need of large and small donations to really help make the center a place that people can come in and learn about Westminster through programs, exhibits, research and community events. She’s looking for small items like offices supplies all the way to bigger things like computers, printers, scanners and even a freezer. Newman is also on the lookout for Westminster artifacts, photos, maps, documents and correspondence from people in the community willing to donate them to the center. “Most of the records we are looking for come from people in the community, civic organizations or other community organizations,” she said. “We like to call it the ‘clean out your basement project’ because it’s a great reason for people to find their

And for those searching for that one particular photo, for example, help will come in the form of computer software. “Visitors will have access to PastPerfect software, which is how we manager our collection of archives,” Newman said. “There will be computer stations where people can look in the database and find any objects related to their search, whether it’s photos, maps or records.”

New radio system up and running By Ashley Reimers
areimers@coloradocommunitymedia.com A new radio system was officially inaugurated last month by the city of Westminster, one equipped with an entirely new infrastructure system. The new system is a P25 digital interoperable simulcast radio system with state of the art technology that will provide enhanced radio coverage and reliable and dependable service. The company providing the new system is Cassidian Communica-
tions and included in the upgrade is new hardware, software and system engineering delivering improved coverage and increased capacity for the city’s first responders. The total cost of the system is about $3 million. “The city of Westminster wanted a nonproprietary radio system that would allow it to use competitive procurements to provide first responders with the right communications equipment at the right price,” said Russ Bowers, Public Safety Communications Administrator for the city. “The
CORP25 system delivered the flexibility we needed to create a best-in-class network.” Bowers said the new system replaced the city’s old 20-year-old Harris Radio Communications system, which had reached the end of its life status. Over the years, the previous system worked nonstop for not only the city’s police and fire agencies, but also for the public works and utilities unit, the Parks, Recreation and Libraries Department and every other city facility located throughout the city. Bowers said the radio system is the
communications backbone for the entire city, and with the new Cassidian system, the city is now looking at 98 percent coverage, compared to 75 percent coverage with the previous system. “We now have three transmitters compared to just he one, so we are already seeing a big difference,” Bowers said. “And we will continue to improved coverage all the way up to the spring, because thing will get better and better.”
County hires two Gold Dome déjà vu deputy managers Last year’s battles expected to resurface
Ray Gonzales promoted, Ed Finger added to staff

tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two deputy county managers are now on staff in Adams County to oversee internal and external services. Ray Gonzales was promoted from director of Neighborhood Services to deputy manager of External Services — overseeing Neighborhood Services, Parks and Community Resources, Planning and Development and the Transportation Departments. County Manager Todd Leopold said Gonzales did a remarkable job as the director of Neighborhood Services. “I look forward to Ray bringing his extraordinary ability to engage citizens and inspire employees to all of Adams County’s external departments,” Leopold said. The county will replace Gonzales’ previous position as director of neighborhood services. Ed Finger is the new deputy director of Internal Services and will oversee the county’s Human Services Department, in addition to the county departments that support internal operations: Facility Planning and Operations, Information Technology, Finance, and Human Resources. “Adams County is devoted to transparency, sound financial management, and employee satisfaction,” Leopold said. “It is hard to imagine a more well-seasoned candidate than Ed Finger, who will serve the county well as we continue our path to building a stronger, more accountable government.” Both positions have an annual salary of $138,000. The county has had one deputy manager position previously, which Leopold vacated to become the county manager. The county’s communication manager, Rich Neumann, said that it is not unusual for an organization the size of Adams County to have deputy managers. “Adams County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state, and our rate of growth is widely expected to accelerate,” he said. “As a result, the services the

county provides will continue to expand. The ultimate goal of our county manager and his two deputies is to ensure that Adams County government’s growth occurs strategically with a focus on the effective delivery of services.” With an operating budget of nearly $500 million, Leopold said, the county wants to ensure that its providing residents with the best possible services and investing their tax dollars prudently. “Our primary goal is to be strategic about how we serve the needs of our residents,” he said. “We will continue our efforts to eliminate bureaucratic barriers, streamline our operating processes, and provide the most efficient and effective service possible to our citizens. We will also identify new technologies and develop innovations to improve the way we conduct our daily business.” Gonzales was born and raised in Brighton. While he was the director of Neighborhood Services, he introduced the Commissioners’ Town Hall meetings, helped streamline the county’s design review process and formulated the Stormwater Task Force. He also previously served as the vice president of business and economic development for SOS Employment Group, assistant city manager for the city of Brighton and as director of the Brighton Economic Development Corporation. Finger, who lives in Aurora, previously served as the assistant county manager in Clark County, Nevada. Finger also served as the Clark County comptroller for six years. A certified public accountant, Finger also previously served as the director of Finance for the city of Reno, Nev., and the city of Thornton.

Going into this year’s legislative session, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle insist that their next 120 days of work will focus on jobs and the economy. But the reality is that Democrats and Republicans will spend a good portion of time re-fighting old battles inside the Capitol. Polarizing issues from last year’s session — rural energy mandates; oil and gas industry regulations; election reform; and, yes, gun control — will be debated again. It’s enough to make Yogi Berra proud, because a good portion of this year’s session will seem like déjà vu all over again. “When you look at the outcry from Report the last session, there are some things that need to be looked at again,” said Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, RColorado Springs. “And we will have an opportunity to fix them.” Republicans will sponsor bills that seek to undo a Democrat-sponsored gun control package that was placed into law following last year’s session. The package led to new laws that created universal background checks on gun sales; limited the amount of ammunition that a high-capacity magazine can hold; and restricted domestic violence offenders’ access to guns. But Democratic leaders aren’t interested in having the same gun debates from last session, ones that led to emotionally-charged testimony and marathon committee hearings and floor votes. “We’re ready to move forward in Colorado and solve the problems that people are telling us we need to solve,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver. “We don’t need to rehash the same fights we fought over last year.” But Democrats won’t have much a choice. Besides gun legislation, Cadman said that his party will introduce bills that seek “fixes” to an election reform bill last session, one that created sameday voter registration in Colorado. Also, look for a bill from House Republicans that would scale back legislation signed into law last year, which doubled the renewable-energy mandate for rural electric cooperatives. “Since it passed, the passion from the people in rural Colorado about how it’s going to be detrimental to them has not let up,” said House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland. If the rural people’s voice is wanting to be beard, I hope that Ferrandino and his crew will at least take a look at that.” The House GOP will introduce a slate of bills that would reduce regulations on small businesses and will focus on helping economies in rural communities, DelGrosso said. DelGrosso said that last year’s session was more “left-centric” than what Colo-
Capitol
radans had bargained for. He said that voters’ resentment over major pieces of Democrat-sponsored legislation was apparent during the recall election losses by Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Angela Giron of Pueblo. Evie Hudak of Westminster resigned rather than face her own recall attempt. “I think some of the gun debate obviously started that, but I think overall the folks that were voting in the recall election were like, ‘I don’t think the people representing us were focusing on us,’” DelGrosso said. Ferrandino rejects that assertion. He said that gun background checks are working and that the voices among Colorado’s rural community are being heard. The House speaker pointed to legislation passed last year that provided grants to help rural communities diversify their economies and a separate bill that created a health and social services center inside Bent County’s Fort Lyon Correctional Facility. Ferrandino also reminded his Republican colleagues that debate was never cut off last year, on any issue. “I’ve made a concerted effort to make sure everybody has a voice,” the House speaker said. “Just because you don’t get your way doesn’t mean your voice isn’t being heard. While it’s a good talking point for the other side, the facts don’t support that assertion.” Ferrandino said that the first priority of the House will be to work on flood and wildfire legislation, which should come with strong bipartisan support. Senate President Morgan Carroll, DAurora, said the first bill out the Senate aims to curb escalating college tuition costs that are “crippling a generation of opportunity for kids.” Carroll also previewed legislation that seeks reduce the financial burden on parents for child care costs. Carroll said that she expects legislation on oil and gas industry regulations. She said there is “a good chance” that the Senate will pass legislation that died last year, which would raise fines on companies for toxic spills. Carroll is not naïve to the new reality in the Senate. Because of the recall election efforts, her party’s majority has been reduced to a single vote. She is hopeful that Senate Republicans will support many Democratic bills, but acknowledges that some battles will be difficult. “The 18-17 vote really matters,” she said. Carroll hopes the two sides can move beyond partisan politics this session. “The people really are sick of bickering,” she said. “They’re sick of partisan mudslinging. They’re tired of excuses. They frankly don’t want to hear it. They don’t want to know who is to blame for what; they just want us to get the job done.” Meanwhile, Cadman insists that his party isn’t overestimating Coloradans’ “outcry” from last year, by trying to undo laws that are already on the books. “We’re not proposing legislation based on reactions,” he said. “We are proposing legislation based on fixing the things we think (Democrats) did wrong. So it’s not a popularity contest. This about doing what we feel is right and, frankly, correcting what we feel was wrong. Period.”

Agriculture and weather: Statewide challenges What’s the weather going to be like today? For most of us the answer may mean putting on a jacket, grabbing an umbrella, or bundling up the kids for the school bus stop. But for a farmer and rancher, the answer can have a significant impact on their very economic well-being. 2013 showed just how weather can affect agriculture. The year began with a continuation of the severe drought of 2012. Below average snowpack in the mountains pointed to another dry year. A series of April snow storms dumped heavy snow in the high country, elevating snow pack averages in the central and northern mountains. This brought renewed hope for many producers as the late storms added water to reservoirs, rivers, and irrigation ditches. While snow brought some relief, a late freeze in Western Colorado damaged fruit and vegetable crops. Many growers of Palisade peaches suffered significant losses, reducing yields and the number of peaches available in retail stores and farm stands. Conditions in Southeast Colorado continued to deteriorate, with hot, dry winds whipping up dust-bowl like conditions. And in South Fork, a raging wildfire created problems
for cattlemen who had moved their cattle into summer pastures threatened by the fast moving fire. In early August, a violent hail storm smashed hundreds of acres of vegetable crops in parts of Northern Colorado. Everything from lettuce, cabbage, squash, and green beans were destroyed, and corn stalks were stripped bare by the hail. Finally, Mother Nature unleashed a historical torrent of rain in early September that resulted in thousands of acres of submerged crop land along the South Platte River and its tributaries. Farmers and ranchers are still struggling with crop losses, damage to irrigation ditches, silt, and debris. Colorado agriculture faced many weather challenges in 2013. But our state’s farmers and ranchers are a resilient bunch. They understand that weather can be unpredictable, and that conditions can drastically
change from week to week. Yet, they do the job they love and believe they are meant to do. Their determination in the face of adversity not only puts food on our tables, but results in economic opportunities for our state, as well. For example, in 2013 agricultural exports will reach close to $2 billion, doubling the $1 billion in exports recorded in 2009. More and more of Colorado’s agricultural products are finding profitable markets in over 110 countries across the globe. And while net farm income will fall below what had been projected for the year, it will still be, at $1.58 billion, the third highest in our state’s history. Already, we are seeing beneficial snows falling in the mountains, fueling optimism that this will be a good snow pack year. Producers are looking towards 2014 with high hopes and expectations about the weather and growing conditions. Farmers and ranchers may not always like the weather forecast, but they adapt and keep on doing what they do best – producing the food, fuel and fiber important to our state’s economy. John Salazar is Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture.

Mayor pro tem Michael Cieszlak passed away on Monday, Jan. 6, after a battle with cancer. He was elected to council in 2009 and re-elected in 2011 for Ward 3 and provided input and support to many city projects and programs. One of the high notes was the Yard of Month program, which encourages residents to take pride in their yards during the summer months and honors those who go the extra mile in beautifying the neighborhood. Steve Durian, community service director for the city, said the Yard of the Month program was Cieszlak’s “baby” and something he took great pride in and enjoyed. “Nothing really invigorated Mike more than the Yard of the Month program,” he said. “It will always be something we will remember him for.” During Cieszlak’s time on council, Durian said he was the councilman who really supported the public works department, understanding the hard work and dedication the staff put forth to keep the city running. He was a major supporter of the public works facility expansion in 2010 and was instrumental in helping gain support from the other council members for the expansion, Durian added. “He understood the importance of the public works staff,” he said. “He appreciated the working man, I would say, and in turn appreciated the public works staff.” Jacqueline Halburnt, Federal Heights city manager, remembers Cieszlak as a collaborative leader, working with the council to accomplish goals during his term. She said he understood the importance of teamwork and looking at the big picture,

opinions / yours and ours
Roles to reinforce with recreational marijuana Green Wednesday rung in and checked out, and various news reports recounted a rough estimate of $1 million taken in at local marijuana shops. The rollout of recreational marijuana on Jan. 1 was accurately described as mellow. Those who were happy to purchase legally at long last had no resemblance to revved up sports fans celebrating a championship. Instead they had satisfied grins and walked calmly. While many locals have poo-pooed the idea that Colorado will become the country’s Amsterdam, we cringed when national news reports suddenly seemed to entertain the perspective. That is not how we see Colorado. We know there is much work to be done and much to iron out with recreational marijuana. In our circles, many of those who are not thrilled with the passage of Amendment 64, have conceded
our view they are pleased law enforcement will not spend as much time with minor marijuana violations any longer. But it’s a consolation in a mix of concerns. Those who support the passage say they are relieved to finally have the legal right to do something that is not that harmful and does have some medicinal benefits. They say it’s the American way of individual freedom to have the choice, and point out that the taxes collected will further benefit the state. While there are countless legal and procedural wrinkles to iron out, we urge a focus on health and safety as a high priority.
Now that marijuana has entered the realm of legal drugs, we look forward to more and more detailed research to outline the pros and cons of marijuana use. Our friend Joe Citizen can break it down to say that marijuana is more or less harmful than tobacco and alcohol — an exercise with questionable value. Marijuana categorically falls in the potentially harmful column. The bottom lines are that smoking is smoking, and people who smoke marijuana draw the smoke deeply into their lungs. Moreover, marijuana affects driving ability. And to say it plain, all three choices can bring great harm to teens in the throes of brain development and finding their way in the world. As surely as secondhand smoke will be more prevalent, it follows that with marijuana, with its new legal status, will often more easily fall into the hands of the
young teens. So we ask that smokers smoke smart, all adults walk straight lines, and parents take further steps by talking and educating their children. A drug is a drug, so children should be encouraged to keep their “just say no” mindsets. We are concerned. How will Colorado fare? Will this recreational diversion be a drag on the state’s reputation in clean energy and quest to improve its education system? Will the state strike the right balance? Will we work well with our neighboring states? It will take a while for the best research to be distilled and crafted into spiffy, pithy messages along the lines of no smoking warnings we have experienced through the years. Messages that make the sobering dangers clear — just as the warnings about tobacco have done — is a wideopen public service opportunity.

New Year holds promise but doubts With each new year, we look ahead for positive opportunities, outcomes and change while doubt looms around the corner. It seems as our world moves faster the quicker directions can change including uncertainty.
Doubts about Obamacare
While perhaps several millions of Americans are optimistic about Obamacare with its full implementation, there is a lot of doubt, anger and uncertainty with how it will truly “play out.” With so many younger Americans avoiding signing up and taking a risk on their health costs, it is bound to negatively impact the claims ratio and dollar costs. Thus, higher premiums will be necessary. And will indigent families start using a doctor’s office for non-emergency health needs as opposed to the more costly hospital emergency rooms? A recent study of the Massachusetts health care system, which has similarities to Obamacare, has shown that ER demand actually increased among lower income families. So, only time will tell how much a blessing or a curse the national plan will be, but I had my doubts from the start.
Look at all the factors
With recreational marijuana now “the big thing” in Colorado, there is a lot of hype about “freedom, liberty and the end of prohibition.” But what will be the consequences to attracting Fortune 500 or other major corporations to our state with good paying jobs? There is a whole array of issues, both short term and long term, which can only be addressed with the passage of time. Workmen’s compensation and liability
issues abound e.g., smoking or coming to work while on a marijuana high or the permissive attitude of parents with their kids using marijuana? While some think they have achieved new found “freedom,” I have my doubts regarding the impact on our state’s economic prospects and social mores.
An election year session
With the new state legislative session, we always cross our fingers and hope for the best while our legislators deliberate. Will this session be less of a “shove it down your throat” approach by the Democrats? While they suffered two casualties and a resignation due to gun control legislative actions, they only hold a razor thin edge in the Senate and it is an election year. Hmmm. I am optimistic that this session will be more balanced in its legislative results including Gov. Hickenlooper threatening vetoes as he too is up for re-election.
New directions
On the local front, I am optimistic that the new Westminster mayor and Christopher continues on Page 7

New Year with lots to tell First off, I want to apologize for not writing my column for the two weeks of holidays. I just couldn’t seem to get in the spirit and I figured you probably weren’t in the mood to read one either. But now it’s time to get back in the game of life – so much to discuss! Although our newspaper staff did a good job of recounting the past year, I’ll give my take too. For openers I was so homesick to see my sisters and friends in Minnesota, so I flew home for a five-day sojourn. It did me so much good to be in snow Minnesota in February. Again this year I’m going to attempt to do this. I always say I feel like I’m wrapped in fluffy cotton batten and no harm can come during that five day stay.
tensions continued right into the holiday season and for now a small sliver of civility is being practiced.
More commissioners
Lots to tell
The year barely got under way when President Barack Obama and Congress got into real head-knocking issues. And for the year we watched in disbelief as our government actually shut down for 10 days. When cooler heads prevailed, the
A year ago we voters in Adams County decided to enlarge the three-person county commissioner board to a five-member board. I was all for it as I don’t believe you can run a county as large as Adams in an efficient manner with only three commissioners. Now a new district map has been drawn and the two new commissioners will be elected November. Commissioner Eva Henry said it best when she said only three on the board makes them too powerful. Already five
candidates have filed the paperwork to run for those two new seats. As I always write, “stay well, stay involved and stay tuned.” See you next week and belated Happy New Year P.S. I can’t even go there, the killing of Claire Davis – my heart just hurts when I try to deal with this loss. I also can’t get started on the marijuana issue. Bad news! Vi June is past Democratic state representative for House District 35. She is a former mayor of Westminster and a former newspaper publisher.

Broncos revenge tour starts now Remember the Ravens. I know it’s a new year and “Auld Lang Syne” asks us to contemplate whether “old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind.” But, as Broncos fans, we would be in a delusional state of denial if we were to sweep under the rug what happened to our beloved Orange and Blue around this time last year. Sorry for the buzz kill, Broncos Country, but do you remember what it felt like to see the ball that Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tuck booted into the frigid and rarified Denver air last January, as it sailed through the uprights at Invesco Field at Mile High? If you don’t, you were either passed out drunk or are lying. I remember it like it was yesterday: Defeated and deflated after an exhausting four-hour game, I collapsed in my couch and stared at the TV, asking myself, ‘Did that really just happen?’ When I awoke the next morning, I experienced a serene glimmer of hope that what had happened was just a bad dream. Alas, it wasn’t. The incomprehensible loss was painful — and it was one that Broncos fans have experienced before. In 1997, the Broncos were offensively loaded and were championship material when an upstart Jacksonville Jaguars team came into Denver and

City Council will make policy direction changes that I believe are needed. I hope to see an increased commitment to citizen interaction with sincere listening and demonstrating accountability. For example, perhaps they will return to the days when staff was expected to respond to citizen or business complaints during the council meeting; not some obscure response at a later date. Then too the council might decide to bring
shocked the world. To be sure, the Broncos have done their part to try to erase those memories. They rebounded from the Jaguars loss to win back-to-back Super Bowls. And this year, Peyton Manning has broken more records than were destroyed during the 1979 Disco Demolition Night promotion in Chicago. But for rabid sports fans like me, nothing short of winning or a lobotomy can erase bad memories. And I’m not talking about regular season wins; those mean nothing. Everything that happened September through December was just an extension of the Broncos’ preseason schedule. Only January and February matter in this town. This weekend, the Broncos welcome the San Diego Chargers to Denver, and with them arrives the hated Philip Rivers. No one outside of San Diego likes Rivers. And as adorable as his on-field three-yearold-like temper tantrums might be to Chargers fans, we here in Denver simply loathe the guy. back the Business Advisory Group (BAG) which previously provided valued diverse feedback from all sectors of the Westminster business community. More input and interaction with the business community is needed to restore credibility and send a “We want your Business” message. There are lots of possibilities in this new year for us as individuals, employees, citizens, parents, elected officials, students, businesses, clients and customers. Let’s push for the best and resolve doubts where we all can. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.
REGIONAL NEWS NAHF opens call for entries
The Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF) is conducting an open entry competition to select six sculptures — valued at no more than $25,000 each — to be part of Northglenn’s 2014/2015 “Art on Parade” on-loan sculpture program. The winning pieces will be placed at E.B. Rains Junior Memorial Park. Each of the six finalists will receive a $600 honorarium to help offset expenses to the artists. In addition, $1,000 will be awarded to the artist who is the recipient of the annual “People’s Choice Award.” Artists will receive substantial recognition and opportunity to sell; therefore, all pieces must be for sale. The placement of selected pieces will begin June 2014 and will be on display until May 2015. Since the program’s inception in 2001, the NAHF has purchased each of the People’s Choice winning sculptures. Although the purchase of the People’s Choice win-
ner is not guaranteed, it is the goal of the foundation to purchase permanent art for the City of Northglenn through the program. All submissions must be submitted via the CaFÉ website: www.callforentry. org. Complete application instructions may be obtained through the CaFÉ website. For information, contact Michael Stricker at (303) 450-8727 or by email at artonparade@northglenn.org. Deadline for submission is Feb. 28.
Northglenn seeks volunteers to shovel snow
The city is seeking volunteers to shovel snow for seniors or residents with physical disabilities. Many of these residents need their sidewalks cleared because medical supplies are delivered to their residences or so they can safely leave their homes. For more information, please contact Jenni Murphy at 303-450-8904 or jmurphy@northglenn.org.
It would be nice to punish the Chargers for embarrassing us at home a few weeks ago. Vegas isn’t giving the Bolts much of a chance, positioning Denver as 10-point favorites. But the Broncos were laying heavy betting timber to the Ravens, as well. And just like the Ravens, the Chargers are playing well at the right time and are coming into the Mile High City on a hot streak, with nothing to lose. The Broncos — loaded with perhaps the greatest arsenal of offensive talent in league history and an aging Hall of Fame quarterback — absolutely must beat the Chargers this weekend. We cannot lose to Philip Rivers. And we cannot lose at home in the first round of the playoffs — again. Is Denver the best team in the AFC? Yes. Is Denver the best team in football? One can make a strong argument. But the best team doesn’t always win in January.
Do I think Denver will win the Super Bowl this year? Yes. But that necessarily means that we must not lose Sunday. The Broncos’ combined record this season against the other three remaining AFC playoff teams is 1-3. The Revenge Tour starts now. Remember what San Diego did to us at home a few weeks back. Remember that Philip Rivers is utterly obnoxious. Remember what it felt like to see Peyton Manning lose during his emotional return to Indianapolis this year. Remember Tom Brady. Remember being up 24-0 to the Patriots before suffering a miserable loss. But, above all: Remember the Ravens.

Tropical Smoothie grows
By Clarke reader • Creader@ColoradoCoMMUNITyMedIa.CoM Contemporary dance can be a difficult to define art form, since it features elements of many different styles of dance. For Nick Ross and his dance company, what matters is creating new works that are conceptual, emotional and passionate, which help increase appreciation for the art. The Nicholas Andre Dance troupe will be bringing its “Kaleidoscope” performance to the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 18. The performance is a personal one for both the Arvada Center and Ross, because the center is where he got his start dancing. “Nick followed me here from a school in Aurora, and trained with us for many years,” Christina Noel, dance coordinator at the center said. “He’s worked and choreographed for some of our classes and occasionally does workshops.” Ross moved to Colorado from Massachusetts during junior high and attended Smoky Hill High School in Aurora. “I was an athlete first and foremost, so I design my dances to be very athletic and intense,” he said. “Our dancers are extremely athletic too, and we use all aspects of the stage during our performances.” Ross established himself in New York, and has returned to Colorado to perform numerous times, but this will be the company’s first performance at the Arvada Center. “It’s always special to come back to Colorado, but our past few performances have been in the mountains,” he said. “Its extra special to be back here because this is where my dance experience started. Christina gave me so many experiences along the way.” “Kaleidoscope” is made up of several different pieces, from group performances to duets. Seven dancers will be performing as part of the troupe. “We’ll be performing a wide variety of works, many featuring my signature athletic style, as well as some theatrical pieces,” Ross said. “We also have a world premiere piece called ‘The End is the Beginning.’”
Nicholas Andre Dance troupe brings contemporary dance to Arvada Center The performance will close with “Until Blue,” which Ross created in 2008, and has been a staple of their shows ever since. “We try to piece together a show that has something for everyone to enjoy,” he said. “I know that everyone has different tastes, so we want to provide different styles.” Noel said that Ross’ performances are very cutting edge, but easy for people to unIF YOU GO derstand who aren’t fluent in the language of dance.

Tropical Smoothie Café, known for its healthy food with a tropical twist, entered the Colorado market in October 2013 with the opening of its café in the Denver Tech Center at 5332 DTC Blvd., Greenwood Village. The second café opened on Nov. 29 at the Streets at Southglenn, 6955 S. York St., Centennial. A third location will open in early 2014 in the Centennial Promenade on County Line Road. Husband and wife franchisee team, Michelle and Kriss Shriver, currently own and operate three cafés in Nevada and the “Franchisee of the Year” winners recently bought the rights for the franchise in Colorado. Tropical Smoothie Café should prove to be a welcome newcomer to the “leanest state in the nation.” The smoothies are made from real fruit and natural sugar. The menu includes toasted wraps, bistro sandwiches, grilled flatbreads and gourmet salads made fresh-to-order. All nutritional information is displayed on the café’s countertops so that customers know what they are ordering. While Tropical Smoothie Café is a national franchise, the Shrivers’ focus is local. “We are passionate about education and plan on holding ongoing fundraisers for schools. We are also dedicated to raising money for and promoting awareness of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare skin disorder that causes extreme skin fragility. We were so happy to be able to use our recent grand opening as a way to shed some light on this little known disease.” At the opening, the Shriver’s presented a check for $3,000 to Children’s Hospital Colorado’s EB Clinic, which was accepted by Krystle Martinez, whose 4-year-old son, Darren, has the disease and attends the CHC’s EB Clinic.

E-470 toll rates on the increase By Tammy Kranz
tkranz@coloradocommunitymedia.com E-470 motorists are shelling out more on their toll fees this year. Starting Jan. 1, rates increased by 5-10 cents for ExpressToll customers and 1015 for License Plate Toll customers. Rates vary depending on if the tolling location is a ramp or toll plaza. The increases are part of the E470 Board of Directors policy to do small annual increases as opposed to waiting every three years for toll increases. “This change was made so that the toll increases would have less impact on customers’ driving expense over time, and correspond to the authority’s scheduled annual increases in debt service payments,” said E-479 Director of Finance Stan Koniz in a statement. The increases are necessary to help the board pay off its $1.6 billion bond debt, which is scheduled to be paid off in 2041, said E-470 public information spokesman Dan Christopherson. The new rates for two-axle vehicles are: ·ExpressToll rate at Toll Plaza A between Chambers Road and Peoria Street will be $2.45; the rate will be $2.70 at the other four toll plazas. All ExpressToll ramp tolls will increase to $1.10, up 5 cents. ·License Plate Toll rates at Toll Plaza A will rise to $3.05, up 10 cents; the LPT rate will rise to $3.40 at all other toll plazas, up 15 cents.

$1.40, up 10 cents. Rates for vehicles with more than two axles can be found online at www.expresstoll.com. E-470 was built in several phases, with the first segment opening in 1991. The entire route is 47 miles and was finished in 2003. All of E-470 is tolled and connects to C-470. “C-470 was built before E-470 and was financed with state and federal funds,” Christopherson said. “There was no state or federal funding available to build E-470, so the municipal and county governments that foresaw the need for an eastern beltway decided to finance E-470 as a toll road.” E-470 is financed, constructed, operated and governed by the E-470 Public Highway Authority, which is composed of eight local governments: Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, and the municipalities of Aurora, Brighton, Commerce City, Parker and Thornton, he added.

Gators fall to Columbine in fourth quarter Standley Lake boys basketball drop to 6-3 By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@coloradocommunitymedia.com After a strong first half by the Standley Lake boys basketball team against Columbine Jan. 4, the Gators lost momentum in the second half and last the game 66-56 at Standley Lake High School. The Gators (6-3) lost to the Rebels (36) following three consecutive victories against Bear Creek, Legacy and Golden. Before playing Standley Lake, Columbine had only two wins against Littleton and Fruita Monument. “I think we played really undisciplined and selfish at times,” head coach Mike Puccio said. “I credit coach Thielking and Columbine for disrupting our flow.” Standley Lake was either ahead or tied with the Rebels the entire game until the fourth quarter. Columbine took their first lead of the game at 40-38 with seven minutes left in the fourth. Sophomore Eric Turner made a 3-pointer to make the score to 52-50 with two and a half minutes left in the game. The Gators stayed within two points of Columbine, but the Rebels started to break away and the Gators couldn’t keep up. Standley Lake tried getting the ball back by fouling the Rebels, however the Gators missed important shots, losing the game 66-56. Columbine scored 31 points in the fourth quarter alone. The Gators only made six 3-pointers out of 24 attempts in the game. “The fourth quarter was tough for us offensively,” Puccio said. “Columbine executed and hit free throws down the stretch.” The Gators led the game 10-7 at the end of the first quarter. A slam dunk by senior Marcus Asmus gave Standley Lake its biggest lead of the game at 17-10 in the middle of the second quarter. The score was tied at halftime 22-22. The Gators led at the end of the third quarter 38-35. Asmus led Standley Lake in scoring with 26 points, while Turner scored 10 points. Senior Dylan Critchfield scored eight points. “[Marcus] played his heart out and just fell a little short,” Puccio said of Asmus. The Gators will play Arvada West Jan. 10 at home and then will travel Jan. 14 for a game against Chatfield. “This team has tremendous potential,” Puccio said. “We just need to continue to play together and play high percentage basketball.”

pomona’s comeback season rolls on Coach Weikel, Panthers off to best start in a decade By Daniel Williams

ARVADA - Pomona’s resurgence continued with a 53-41 victory over Chatfield Saturday at Pomona High School. A pair of underclassmen led the Panthers, as sophomore Lili Sale scored 12 points and added five rebounds. Freshman Ashley Madden added 11 points and recorded six rebounds, helping spur on Pomona’s offensive push. After scoring only four first quarter points the Panthers got it together in the second quarter outscoring Chatfield 22-10. Pomona then used nine steals and 30 rebounds to control the tempo
and action the rest of the contest. The Panthers (5-3, 2-1 in 5A Jeffco) are off to their best start in nearly a decade and are already on pace to smash last season’s win total, league record and most every offensive statistic. In just his second season with the team head coach John Weikel has done a great job of rebuilding a program that hasn’t finished over .500 since the mid-1990’s. Credit junior Alexa Zarlengo and her nearly 13 points per game average, and her teammate’s dedication to the program as the catalysts for their turnaround. Last season Pomona finished 9-15 and won only four of 16 league games. This season the Panthers are playing like a playoff team and have won four of their last five games. Pomona will be tested at Lakewood, who is a perfect 9-0 this season, Friday at 7 p.m. at Lakewood High School.

Holy Family boys basketball stays undefeated Tigers beat Eaton 68-30 By Kate Ferraro
kferraro@coloradocommunitymedia.com Holy Family boys basketball won its eighth consecutive game Jan. 3 defeating Eaton 68-30 at Holy Family High School. The Tigers have beaten seven out of eight opponents by 30 points or more. The only team that’s given them a close match was when they beat Broomfield 54-41. “We have a really good group of kids that have been working their butts off this year,” head coach Peter Villecco said. “They really have in the last four years. We have a strong senior group. We feel good about our team.” Villecco said their success doesn’t come from one aspect in particular, but the strong work ethic they put into their matches. “It’s just the way our boys have invested time in the last three summers,” Villecco said. “It’s the time they’ve spent in the gym working hard in our games.” After an even first quarter with the scored tied at 10, the Tigers went on an 18-5 run in the second quarter to lead at halftime by 28-15. Holy Family started to really pull away in the third quarter, leading by 30 points at the start of the fourth 53-23. The Tigers held on to their rhythm in the fourth quarter, claiming the 68-30 victory. Holy Family’s defense only allowed 30 points the entire game, but that’s something the team has been doing all season. The Tigers haven’t let any of their opponents score more than 45 points against them. “We do our best each game to make it difficult for our opponent to score,” Villecco said. “It’s been a staple of our program, we wanted to commit to a defensive team.” Junior Luke Golter led the team with 18 points and was 75 percent at the free throw line. Sophomore Chris Helbig made 13 points and junior Alex Comeaux scored 12 points. Golter, senior Ryan Willis and junior Nick Kruetzer all had four rebounds. As a sophomore last year, Golter didn’t play until February because he suffered a leg injury early in the season. Villecco said Golter had a really good offseason and has really
Holy Family junior Austin Brown looks for an open player in a game against Eaton Jan. 3 at Holy Family High School. Photos by Kate Ferraro gained strength in his legs. “I thought Friday was a breakout game for Luke,” Villecco said. “He was aggressive from the start and played well for us.” Holy Family travels to Bishop Machebeuf Jan. 10 to play a Buffaloes team that’s also undefeated so far this year. The Tigers also play Lutheran Jan. 14 at Lutheran High School. “It’s the start of our league play,” Villecco said of preparing for Machebeuf. “Every Metro League game is impor-

Jeffco’s 4-H seeks urban kids for dog project Annual training program allows youth to bond with pets
Jefferson County’s 4-H program isn’t just for youth who are enveloped by foothills or surrounded by an agrarian lifestyle. The youth development program also offers a dog training program which may peak the interest of some of Colorado’s more city dwelling kids. At least that is the hope of the staff for Jeffco’s 4-H CSU extension. “I’ve really felt passionate about growing the dog program because I think it’s a way we can reach the urban kids and get them involved in 4-H,” Lisa Sholten, CSU extension agent said. “A lot of kids in the area have dogs and it gives them something to do with them.” Last year, 19 kids participated in the program but Sholten would like to see that number grow. As of Dec. 31, Jeffco’s 4-H CSU extension is recruiting for the 2014
Dog Training Project. Training in obedience, rally, and showmanship are the focuses for the project including dog care, and agility. Participants in the program are expected to keep a record book of their project that will last until the fall. Competition in 4-H dog shows and dog rallies are part of the program with opportunities to qualify for the county fair, and from there to the state fair, which are some of the bigger objectives of the program. “If you can show the child how to work with the dog and get the dog doing what you would like them to do then it makes the kid a better person and it definitely helps the dog and the family,” said Maureen Stevens, dog trainer and project leader for the 4-H Dog Training Project in Golden. Stevens will recommend that 4-H participants dedicate at least an hour a day with their dog for training with the hour divided into 10 minute intervals. Stevens will also bring her extensive knowledge in dog training with 30 exercises that her young trainers can use. On Thursday, Jan. 2, the Conifer group met at the Event Center at the Jeffco Fairgrounds with their project leader, Kathy Otterbein for a video promo for the project. Trainers who showed up were long-
time participants of the program, with most members going into their second or third year. “I’ve always liked to train dogs,” said Abigail Anderson, 12 of the Conifer group. “Dogs are very good and they are easy to train.” Anderson, along with her golden doodle, Jenny who is 3, has competed at the county fair and won first place for obedience, first place for rally and second place for showmanship. The close pair went on to qualify for state where Jenny won 10th place for obedience and won second place for the grand champion for showmanship. Anderson spends at least two hours a day with her beloved friend who has a certification as a therapy dog through training that Anderson has done all on her own. Animal care and a housing form must be filled out with a health certificate for upto-date vaccinations. Forms can be found online at www.4honline.com. Youth who are currently enrolled in 4-H can join the Dog Project with no additional cost. For more information visit: www.extension. colostate.edu/jefferson/4h/4h.shtml or by contacting Lisa Sholten at 303-271-6620 or via email at lsholten@jeffco.us. The registration fee is $40 and can be paid online at jeffco.us/csucamp/4hindex.jsp.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JAN 8, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) It’s a good time to take a much-needed break from your recent hectic schedule and spend some time in quieter surroundings. Important news could arrive early next week. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) The Taurean traits of reliability and thoroughness could be well-tested when decision-makers consider your proposals and/ or requests. Be prepared to answer some probing questions. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A sudden attack of boredom leaves you with some tasks undone. It’s OK to take a short respite. But get back to work by week’s end so that you have time for other projects.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Avoid prejudging a situation just because it looks bad. Facts could emerge that would make your position uncomfortable, to say the least. A relative has interesting news to share with you. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) This is a good time to begin reassessing some of your recent decisions about your long-range goals to see if they still have merit. Spend more time with loved ones this weekend. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An unsettled situation at home or on the job early in the week could drain your energy levels, making it difficult to get your work done on schedule. But things improve by midweek. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A temporary setback could give you time to go over your plans to find weaknesses you might have overlooked before. A romantic getaway with that special person is favored this weekend. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Professional and personal situations benefit once you set a positive tone in getting things off to a good start. Honest dialogue smoothes over any occasional display of balkiness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A problem with workplace colleagues or family members seems to defy even your sage counsel. But be patient. Your words eventually will lead to a resolution. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Don’t just wait out that unexpected and unexplained delay in your career move. You could gain added respect if you ask why it happened and what you can do to move things along. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Although your workplace strategies usually are accepted, you could be challenged by someone who isn’t so favorably impressed. Be prepared to defend your positions. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Your friendship circle expands, with new people coming into your life at this time. Welcome them warmly. But don’t neglect those cherished longtime personal relationships. BORN THIS WEEK: You love to search for knowledge and share it with others. You would make an especially fine teacher. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
