By Peter Jones It is about 9,000 miles from Littleton, U.S.A. to Bega, Australia, but the two cities never seem that far apart when a delegation from one visits the other. “I have to say it’s a thrill, and it’s really like coming home,” Bega’s Barb Westmacott said last week in Bega Park, which is named for Littleton’s longtime sister city. Westmacott also had a few words for her fellow Australians. “For those who are here for the first time, you’ll [feel the same way] by the end of this – probably this day, but certainly by the end of the visit,” she said. Westmacott, who is on her third official visit to Littleton, was a leader among a delegation of 25 Bega residents whose 10-day visit to Littleton concludes this weekend. The busy trip was designed to run parallel to Littleton’s 85th annual Western Welcome Week celebrations, during which the Bega delegation participated in last weekend’s Grand Parade. The visit kicked off Aug. 15 with a welcome from Littleton city officials and civic leaders who unveiled the newly renamed Bega Street, a block of Rio Grande Street that runs through Bega Park between Main Street and Alamo Avenue. The rechristening has followed the renaming of several sites in Bega to honor the larger Littleton community – including

Littleton Gardens and a park for Columbine High School after the 1999 massacre. City and county officials and the Australian delegation were joined by several hundred city residents for last week’s unveiling and grand welcome in Bega
Park. The celebration included performances of the U.S. and Australian national anthems and a sing-along of the latter’s folk classic “Waltzing Matilda.” Sir Mark O’Regan, the Greenwood Village-based Australian consulate of the Rocky Mountain
region, said the Australian government is proud to be part of the 52-year relationship between Littleton and Bega. “There are two levels of diplomacy,” he said. “The first is Continued on page 2
Palisade peaches available now throughout Colorado
They call it the “million dollar breeze;” that ideal flow of air that keeps the produce at the perfect temperature in the Grand Valley of western Colorado. This breeze, paired with spring runoff and varying daily temperatures, provides ideal growing conditions for the world-famous Palisade Peaches, plus an abundance of other fruits and vegetables. Not to overlook the grapes in the region, supporting award-winning wineries in Colorado’s Wine Country. This mecca of fresh living includes the cities of Grand Junction, Fruita and Palisade. Grand Valley peaches should now be available all across Colorado. To really experience this summer’s sweetest treat, take time to travel to the orchards for a memorable getaway. Only four hours from Denver, visitors can find freshpicked, just-off-the-tree peaches and peach products at roadside stands throughout the Grand Junction area. What else should you do when planning a visit to Grand Junction during peach season? • Explore – Many orchards offer tours for a close-up view of fruit varieties, organic growing, picking, community-supported agriculture, selection, packing, distribution and marketing.

• Farmers’ market – Taking place Thursday evenings through Sept. 19, the market offers seasonal fruits and vegetables. Connect with the farmers directly. • Wineries – Colorado’s Wine Country features 21 tasting rooms. The local wineries produce almost every type of wine, including many peach wines. All wineries are small and personal, with most offering free tastings and winery tours. Peach wines also will make appearances at the Sept. 19-22 Colorado Mountain Winefest in nearby Palisade. • Get Outdoors - Among Grand Junction’s spectacular red cliffs and winding canyons is the Colorado
National Monument. Also worth exploring is the world’s tallest flattop mountain, the Grand Mesa and then there is the Bookcliff Wild Horse Area, two national scenic byways and five scenic golf courses. For more information on visiting Grand Junction, or to take advantage of their Bushel of Summer Savings lodging packages that celebrate the peach harvest, visit www.Visit GrandJunction.com or call 970-2441480. Here is a recipe to use the ripe Palisade Peaches:
Pasta with Peaches and Pancetta 8 oz pasta of your choice
1 tbsp olive oil 4 oz pancetta, cut into small dice 1-2 leeks, white part only, split, washed, and thinly sliced 2 Palisade peaches, washed and pitted, coarsely chopped 4 cups baby spinach or arugula, washed, stems removed ¼ cup dry white wine 1 tbsp butter salt and pepper 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts Boil the pasta. While the pasta cooks, add the oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally until it begins to turn golden brown. Add the leeks and peaches and continue cooking until the leeks soften. Add spinach and toss until it begins to wilt. Add the wine and continue cooking until the liquid is mostly evaporated, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, but keep warm. Drain the pasta well and add it and the butter to the other ingredients in the skillet. Toss to combine and melt the butter. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving dishes and garnish with pine nuts. Serves 4. Recipe Compliments of Mr. Wayne smith, assistant technical professor, Culinary Arts, Western Colorado Community College.

New street sign honors sister city Members of the delegation from Bega, Australia admire the new street sign honoring their hometown. Over the years, both cities have named streets, parks and other sites in honor of each other.
Continued from Page 1 through our embassies and consulates. The most important level is though our citizen diplomats who travel the world promoting good relations between Australia and other countries.” The friendship between the two cities has its roots in the early 1950s when Houstoun Waring, publisher of the Littleton Independent, appeared in a U.S. State Department film promoting the idea of an independent small-town press to world audiences. When W.B. “Curly” Annabel, editor of Bega District News in New South Wales, saw the film, he was struck by the similarities between the two cities and their respective newspapers. The two journalists eventually struck up a pen-pal relationship before meeting face to face in trips across the Pacific Ocean. By the late 1950s as President Eisenhower began to push the
burgeoning sister-city program as a way to foster people-to-people diplomacy around the world, Waring and Annabel crafted a more formal bond between the two cities, thus creating the first-ever U.S.-Australia sister-city relationship. It was soon established that each city would send a delegation to the other twice each decade. Delegates would be housed by host families to give visitors an authentic taste of Aussie or Yank culture. Littleton will visit Bega next in 2016. Dozens of lasting friendships have flourished as a result of the longstanding sister-city relationship. Littleton’s Elfi Smith showed off a hat she traded with Australian friend Kay Rogers over a period of years during back-and-forth visits – a tradition that lasted until Rogers’s death last year. “I’ve treasured every visit and it has enriched my life,” Smith said. “… It will be a keepsake forever.”
A plaque in Bega Park commemorates the vision of the Littleton Independent’s Houstoun Waring and Bega District News’ W.B. “Curly” Annabel, who started the Littleton-Bega sister-city relationship more than a half century ago.
State Sen. Linda Newell of Littleton presents a Senate proclamation to Bega delegation leaders Barb and Bob Westmacott.

opinion South metro Denver having great success KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
Good planning makes for great developments I can remember when the new Hilton was built at Hampden and I-25 about three decades ago. Now the hotel is completely gone
and new high-density housing and retail outlets have replaced the once busy hotel. Hampden is really an improving street with the new Target at Tamarac, which was once my favorite shopping mall with the smart red brick flooring. Citron Bistro, located at 3535 S. Yosemite St., provides wonderful food and special brunches. The family business, run by brothers George Karas and Tom Karantounis, is so well run and operated and provides consistent high quality food and service. Keep going on Hampden around the bend to Havana and you’ll find Ed and Gail Novak’s Summit Steak House. What a wonderful management they’ve brought to this famous steakhouse.
Ed was well known for his famous Canterbury Inn in the DTC for years, the downtown Broker and now you can find him at the Summit, that’s the very top for this great couple. Farther south, Joe Blake founded and staked out Highlands Ranch for the Phillip Morris Company that started the Highlands Ranch Development called Mission Viejo in 1979. Today, the project is almost virtually complete with fabulous homes, Park Meadows, schools, churches, golf courses and more. This has been a great development and done so well from start to finish. The project developers have donated 12,702 acres of land for open space in the entire area, when complete over 12,900 acres
of land from the 1979 master plan will have been donated to full public use for green space, parks and recreation areas. Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and an estimated 100,000 people have developed an excellent area in the metro complex adding jobs and tax dollars to the Douglas County area and adding retail strength into Arapahoe County as well. Good job, Joe Blake and all of his successors and public office holders who have done the right things with this huge development. We also wish Harold Smethels good luck on his venture that appears to be moving forward after some very tough water battles in his planned community development southwest of Highlands Ranch.

Cabela’s has distinctive grand opening in Lone Tree By Tom Barry Two of the biggest and most distinctive grand openings in recent Colorado history occurred Aug. 15, as Cabela’s opened two massive retail stores simultaneously. The Lone Tree and Thornton stores staged their respective events just prior to 11 a.m. This Sidney, Neb.-based outdoor retailer bussed in 200 corporate employees that had never witnessed a previous grand opening. Staff members left bright and early before the crack of dawn to take the nearly three-hour long bus trip along Interstate 76 in route to Lone Tree. Traffic was snarled in both directions on I-25 at the Ridgegate Parkway exit well in advance of the event. Drivers were directed to a parking lot about a mile away where Cabela’s operated a shuttle service to the new store. More than 5,000 anxious shoppers had amassed, along with employees, executives, and city and county elected officials in front of the new south metro Denver store that resembles a massive hunting and fishing lodge. Cabela’s may now become the new Lone Tree icon for drivers passing by, as it’s highly visible from I-25. A Cabela’s executive said they loved the location of their new store because it sits atop a mountain overlooking the area. In actuality, Cabela’s sits on a bluff in Lone Tree and their first Colorado store is located in the real mountains surrounding Grand Junction. Lone Tree’s Mayor Jim Gunning greeted the corporate executives, employees and customers welcoming them to the city. County Commissioner Jill Repella said how she was impressed with the effort Cabela’s had put into the store. “We’re here to create lasting memories in the outdoors, its part of our nature,” said Karen Koons, Cabela’s store manager, reciting a corporate theme.
Memorable grand opening
After some very brief speeches, in lieu of the typical ribbon cutting, Cabela’s officially opened the store in a very distinctive manner. An ar-

chery expert, who was perched atop a black camouflaged hunter’s tower, shot an arrow into the center of a clay target for the symbolic opening. Two hundred employees then paraded in and formed a double line down the entranceway that customers then walked through. As excited customers hurried down the line, everyone was exchanging high fives, smiles and well wishes between employees and customers alike. “I was more afraid here of the crowds at the grand opening than I was landing on Okinawa,” said Jim Lampe, 89, a WWII Navy veteran jokingly as he attended the event with his daughter Donna Patton. Roy Miller, a new Cabela’s employee, spotted Lampe in the back of the crowd with his cane and assisted him and his daughter to the front of the line. Numerous current servicemen and women and veterans attended the Lone Tree opening. Customers quickly filled the
store to capacity, as many customers had to wait in line for others to leave to enter. The shoppers quickly gathered items on their list while others marveled at the numerous taxidermy displays throughout the massive store. The checkout line circled through the entire store with some customers waiting an hour to buy their items. “We picked this store and having the vista view felt like a real natural for our building,” said Michael Copeland, Cabela’s COO, who brought his family to the opening. “Lone Tree came to us 18 months ago, they were such a great partner. I think that Colorado overall is a good market for us, as 65 percent of all Coloradans enjoy the outdoors.” Matt Fry, who attended the Cabela’s opening with his 19-year-old daughter Paige, said, “This is a great event, we wanted to come out and take a look. I’m happy it’s in our backyard.”

By Tom Barry Dick and Mary Cabela, the founders of the prominent outdoor retail giant that bears their name, attended the Lone Tree grand opening Aug. 15. The couple, in there 70s, came to sign autographs for store employees and customers, and visited with family and friends who stopped by to say hello. The Cabelas each visited with autograph seekers, as Dick wore his green camouflage sports coat. They signed anything from caps and T-shirts to free posters that were provided. Mary recounted that their retail adventure began when Dick attended a furniture show in Chicago and found a man who was selling hand-tied fishing flies. In 1961, Dick purchased all of the
flies and made a couple of attempts to market his goods – the rest is history. The outdoor outfitting firm based in Sidney, Neb., still utilizes their catalog business, online sales and 47 retail stores in North America. “We wanted to come here for a long time,” said Mary about their two new metro Denver stores. “This will have a damaging affect to our Sidney store,” said Dick. “This store will do well.” The couple will be married for 58 years this November and proudly shares that they have 23 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and nine children, many who were at the stores on opening day. The couple, in addition to their main residence in Sidney, also own a home in the metro area.
Summer
Nothing says
I
By Cathleen Norman n the days of our great grandparents, a favorite summer past time was listening to performances by the local brass band. Robust music filled the air – patriotic marches, peppy polkas, popular tunes and sweetly sentimental songs. Almost every town had its band, made up of musicians playing purely for their love of music, squeezing into a gazebo or gathering beneath a band shell to provide an evening’s entertainment. The brass band “movement” flourished first in England in the 1850s but soon spread to the United States. The Civil War gave the music a boost. At the beginning of the war, every regiment had a full brass band – some as large as 50 musicians. After the war, civic bands formed in towns and cities around the country. Popularity of brass bands exploded in the 1880s with the patriotic works of John Philip Sousa the “superstar” composer/conductor who wrote 132 marches during his 45-year musical career. The music was quite popular in Colorado’s mining towns, where Germans, Italians and other immigrants enjoyed playing and listening to brass instruments. After the early 1900s, the music faded from fashion for a couple of generations. Then, the musical tradition revived in the 1970s: several bands formed that still perform today around Colorado. The Silverton Brass Band began in the ‘70s, mostly composed of hard-rock miners and high school students. The musicians carried on a heritage from an earlier era – the Silverton Cornet Band had
entertained folks during the town’s 1870s-1910s mining heyday. The reincarnated band still plays most Sunday evenings during the summer with a dozen musicians dressed in vintage garb performing merrily on the streets of Silverton. Once a year, the historic mining town becomes a musical showcase for the vintage music. The Great Rocky Mountain Brass Band Festival has taken place the third weekend of August for 32 years. A conglomeration of musicians showing up from all over the country, about 45 college instructors, professionals and other lifelong musicians. Townsfolk and tourists enjoy free concerts Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday and Sunday at noon under a big-top tent or in the Silverton School. Band instruments include the E flat cornet, flugelhorn, French horn, trombone, tuba, percussion and xylophone. Another brass band emerged in the ‘70s in western Colorado at Western State College in Gunnison. The Colorado Brass Band was founded in 1974 by Professor of Music Dr. John Kincaid at WSC from 1961 to 1986. An international expert and published author on brass bands, Kincaid shared his enthusiasm and expertise with his student musicians and many went on to play in brass bands around the state. The Colorado Brass Band still performs in summer in the Quigley Band Shell on the Western State campus. Meanwhile on the Front Range, the Rocky Mountain Brassworks began around 1975 with a few brass musicians playing in conjunction

with the Denver Parks and Rec Department and using borrowed tenor horns that were “old and in terrible disrepair.” The band established itself independently in 1978; and they secured Paul Curnow as the director and recruited players from Denver-metro area. Today, 35 or so musicians perform original works, orchestra pieces, marches, Broadway show tunes, hymns and novelty numbers. Summer concerts this year included Parker, Greenwood Village and Keenesburg. The band also supports children and youth music programs with free performances through the school districts. When director Curnow departed Denver for Colorado Springs around 1998, he inspired the Fountain Creek Brass Band. Musicians in the Colorado College Concert Band stirred up interest and persuaded Curnow to help develop and lead the new band. Like Rocky Mountain Brassworks, it is an authentic British-style brass band – notably no trumpets or French horns. Associate Conductor Debbie Baker became principal conductor when Curnow moved to California a decade ago. On Thursday evenings during June and July, the Fountain Creek Brass Band played under the historic band pavilion at Soda Springs Park in Manitou Springs. The FCBB also encourages young musicians by playing selections before or after performances by school concert bands. Another band that got its start in the 1970s was the Golden Eagle Brass Band, a 50-piece, all-volunteer adult community band located

in Edgewater. It began as the Gold Nugget Brass Band, owned and directed by former circus trumpet player named Don Smith. When Smith retired in 1991, band members formed a corporation to operate the renamed Golden Eagle Brass Band. Their summer performances of American band music included playing on Aug. 12 for Littleton’s Western Welcome Week. The Idaho Springs Cowboy Band, begun in 2005, honors a colorful brass band of a century ago. The “Dodge City Cow Boy Band” originated in Kansas in 1879. Composed of mostly professional musicians, the band sported flamboyant outfits of flannel shirts, gray cowboy hats, bandannas, leather chaps, spurs and pearl-handled revolvers. The Cow Boy Band toured nationally, playing to packed houses in Denver,

Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis and for President Benjamin Harrison’s 1889 inauguration celebration in Washington, D.C. Around 1890, a dynamic young musician named Jack Sinclair became the bandleader. When Sinclair departed Kansas City for Pueblo a few years later he purchased the band’s music, instruments and name. The band continued in Pueblo for more than a decade, still known as the Dodge City Cow Boy Band. Then Sinclair relocated to Idaho Springs, again taking the music with him. An astonished news reporter observed on June 5, 1905: “The paraphernalia of the famous Dodge City Cowboy Band was unloaded here yesterday and will be used by the Idaho Springs Cowboy Band… the aggregation will be heartily backed by the citizens of Idaho Springs.” When Sinclair returned to Pueblo five years later, the Cowboy Band dissolved into the mists of history. In 2005, Will Swart of Evergreen organized the Idaho Springs Cowboy Band, named for the historic band and made up of amateur and professional brass musicians from Denver and Front Range and mountain communities. The band performs summer concerts in Idaho Springs and Georgetown and plays old western type tunes for the Evergreen Rodeo. They played in Silver Plume on Aug. 18 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the town’s gazebo. On Sept. 22, the band will dress in lederhosen and dirndls to play for Evergreen’s Oktoberfest.
The town of Silverton has a brass band tradition that dates back to the Silverton Cornet Band, who dressed handsomely for their portrait in the woods (circa 1890).

Montezuma’s Aztec gold and gems
M
By Ray Lundin ontezuma, known for the vast amount of gold and silver objects and the huge quantities of emeralds and otheR gems, did not prize the gold and emeralds as the most precious: it was jade he valued the most. When Cortes arrived and wanted gold, “...it made Montezuma smile when he heard that Cortez was interested only in gold, since Montezuma’s most precious possession was jade.” (Richard Gump, 1962) In the native languages of Mexico and Central America, the name Chalchihuitl most always meant jade, but it appears sometimes to have been applied to other stones of green or greenishblue color, such as emeralds, turquoise and amazonite. Although the Aztecs collected many precious gems and minerals, they used them for jewelry and ornamental purposes. Some were gathered for medicinal uses. As for gold, they couldn’t use it for swords, knives or other equipment – it was too soft. So, it was used for decorative objects. Among the many precious and semi-precious stones in Montezuma’s treasure house were emeralds, opals, jade, turquoise, rainbow obsidian, fire agate, amethyst, topaz and pearls. When Hernando Cortes planted the Spanish flag on Aztec Mexican soil in the early 16th century, he took from the berated Emperor Montezuma an enormous pyramid shaped emerald. Another emerald worthy of note and recovered from a sunken galleon is the Queen Isabella Emerald. This 964-carat deep green gemstone had captured the heart of, but eluded Queen Isabella of Portugal. Intended as a wedding gift from Cortes to his wife, the queen made public her desire to own the huge jewel. Snubbing the queen and dashing her desires for the gem, Cortes gave his wife the emerald along with other sensational new world gemstones
regardless of the Portuguese queen’s desires. An example of the Aztec skill and artistic workmanship is a remarkable Aztec ceremonial mask (now in the British M u seum). T h e foundation of this mask is the front part of a human skull, and its outer surface has been covered with an incrustation of turquoise and jet (a black mineral) in five alternate bands, the upper, middle and lower ones being of jet, while the two intermediate ones are of shaped pieces of turquoise; part of the nose has been removed and the space covered over by tablets of pink shell; protruding eyeballs are figured by convex disks of polished iron pyrites with a bordering of white shell. Straps attached at the temples made it possible to bind this mask to the face of an idol, or for a priest to wear it on ceremonial occasions. Cortes disposed of Montezuma and had his run of Montezuma’s empire. In doing so, he confiscated all the gold, silver and precious stones he could find in the palaces and homes of the inhabitants. But this wasn’t enough. He wanted to know where the gold, silver and emerald mines were. The Muzo Indians would not disclose the location of the mines, even under torture. During a bloody battle, one of Cortes’s soldiers’ horse kicked up a shower of large gleaming green

crystals from the bed of a bubbling stream, and in doing so uncovered the source of the fabled Muzo emeralds, which still today are the source of the world’s finest emeralds. Although tons of treasures were sent to Spain on ships, some of the galleons sank in storms on the way to Spain. The treasures of two of the sunken ships were recovered from the ocean depths: the Atocha and another unnamed ship. The unnamed ship was found in 1993 and divers recovered the Isabella Emerald along with Cortes’ signet ring, a huge cache of raw emeralds (24,644 carats), and more than 25,000 carats of polished emeralds and masses of gold and silver jewelry. The Queen Isabella Emerald alone was valued at $20 million. The Atocha sank in 1622 and
Muzo emerald
was salvaged in 1985. It was loaded with an astonishing cargo of 24 tons of silver bullion in 1038 ingots, 180,000 pesos of silver coins, 582 copper ingots, 125 gold bars, dozens of chests of gemstones and emeralds, including one exceptional 78 carat uncut hexagonal emerald. In all, experts have valued the cargo of the Atocha alone at nearly half a billion dollars. So valuable was the Atocha even to a large empire, that Spanish salvage teams would search for some 70 years before finally giving up. Among the treasures that Cortes brought back from Mexico is the story of “a beautiful and incomparable pearl” that he acquired from Montezuma. While showing it to a friend on board the ship that was taking them toward Algiers, it slipped from his fingers into the sea. It was lost at sea, and in the words of Brantome “...vanished from the sight of mankind, unworthy to possess such a miracle of nature.” When Cortes and his soldiers were driven from Tenochtitlan, the Aztec high priests knew it would only be a matter of time before the Spaniards returned. They realized that they could not defend against the conquistador’s superior weapons. The priests dug up the body of their fallen leader, Montezuma, then lead a procession of more than 2,000 men on a mass exodus in search of a new land to the north, a land that would be safe from the Spaniards. The priests took with them the collected treasures of the Aztec empire, tons of gold and sil-
ver sacred religious objects they would need to reestablish their once great civilization. According to the legend, the treasure-bearing slaves traveled in a northwesterly direction for many months, and when they came to a mountain on the edge of a desert, the treasure was hidden and the slaves put to death. There is much disagreement about just how far north they traveled, but certainly the most interesting theory circulating among the treasure hunting community is that the treasure was carried more than 2,000 miles to southern Utah; yep, that’s right - Aztec treasure in Utah. According to legend, in 1920 Freddy Crystal found a treasure map tucked inside an old manuscript. The manuscript, written by Spanish Friar at the time of the conquest, stated that the map had been drawn using information gained during the torture of one of the original Aztec porters. Freddy Crystal had spent time in Utah and realized that the map was similar to the geography of southern Utah, in particular, near a little town named Kanab. Crystal found stairs cut into the side of White Mountain and enlisted the town people to help excavate the site in exchange for a share of the treasurer. The excavation went on for three years finding relics and ancient items, but never gold. Finally, with all the tunnels dug and no gold found, the townspeople drifted back to their day-to-day lives and forgot about the tunnels up in Johnson Canyon, Utah. The treasure seems to elude everyone, if it indeed does exist at all. In Mexico, the Sacred Well was dredged, no treasure; other lakes in Mexico were dredged and some drained, no treasure; some said it was in the Grand Canyon, or in Guatemala, or even in Arizona’s Lost Dutchman Gold mine; still no treasure. But one thing is for sure, Montezuma was Mexico’s ultimate gem and mineral collector.

Your Weekly Horoscope – By Gren Chatworth VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Some great gain is coming if you can face the facts and not allow yourself to become bogged down with burdensome details. Try and relax more and enjoy your social life. LIBRA (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) May seem premature but try to use strategy for long-term financial goals. You are on the right track so don’t be influenced by friends. Keep your mind clear and set your sights, SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Try not to lose sleep over the should have/could have routine. Learn to live in the moment for the greatest personal peace. Perhaps a holiday is in store for you very shortly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) This week could be a real eye-opener. Rare twists of fate can result in thunderbolts for either good or ill. Try to emphasize tranquil feelings as romance can be on shaky ground.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Sometimes a raised voice causes wounds not visible to the naked eye. Watch your language with children and associates. Things could be under tension at work for a few days, but all will be well by the end of the week.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) Start this week with a bang. Family members could be negative at this time. Try to overcome any obstacle in your way of succeeding and forge ahead regardless. It will pay off.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Office tensions could create challenges this week. Keep your nose out of another’s business and focus on simple tasks. Your success depends on your own concentration.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) No use losing your temper over silly things this week, especially at your place of business. So all don’t agree with you, have you thought perhaps you could be to blame. Take a hard look at yourself for a change.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – March 20) Remember you cannot realize your goals by daydreaming. Consider a more professional transition. Put together an impressive resume with professional help if you are seeking employment. If you are already employed, put your utmost into your position.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22) Your own worst enemy this week is YOU. Stop banging your head against the wall and remember a little compromise will get you results in the long run. Just stand back and look at the entire picture before you do anything.
ARIES (March 21 – April 19) You seem to be in a bit of a dilemma with your partner at this time. Remember, secret affairs or dealings will get you nowhere. Make up your mind if all this is worth the frustrations, and then put your time into business and personal relationships with a future.
LEO (July 23 – Aug. 22) Skirt around difficulties this week. A light touch is the ticket to a happy domestic scene right now. Things will ease for you during the next few days.
