You’ve Seen Us at Golf Cart Parades & Charity Walks Special to News of Kings Point Sometimes you see people walking down the street talking into what looks like a cell phone with an antenna as big as a fishing pole. These people also have radios in their golf carts and cars. Who are they talking to? They are probably talking to other members of the Sun City Center or Kings Point Amateur Radio Clubs. You may know them as “ham radio” guys, and if you don’t know them, you should. These are the guys you will need after a storm. When the power is out and phone service is down these guys can still communicate. In times of emergency they are able to call an ambulance, police or fire truck to your aid. Radio amateurs were the first to help bring communications back in the states affected by hurricane Katrina. Closer to home our club members assisted in the Punta Gorda disaster. Radio amateurs assist first responder groups. They
Remember Those Golf Cart Parades and Charity Walks The radio club stations their members along each route to radio for help if a situation develops. You probably have seen them in their orange shirts and baseball caps. Visitors are always welcome at the Sun City Center clubhouse Monday through Friday from 9 to 11 AM. They will be glad to show you their equipment and let you sent a message to your fiends up north or talk on the radio. Training classes for amateur radio licenses are given several times a year. Watch out or they will get you to be one of them.
enable different emergency services, which normally talk on different radio frequencies to interface with each other. The Rescue Squad can talk to the Security Patrol, the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) can talk to the Community Association Maintenance with
Amateur Radio Operators providing the link. If a disaster should befall Sun City Center and an electric line crew from Georgia comes to help they won’t know where the
downed lines are. TECO trucks that know where the outages are cannot communicate with the Georgia trucks. Put one radio amateur in each of the Continued on Page 5
Men’s Club Provides Funds for Amateur Radio Club On September 13, 2013 The Men’s Club of Sun City Center (SCC) presented a check, for $ 2,700, to representatives from the Kings Point (KP) Amateur Radio Club for the purchase of a Digital Repeater. As per Dick Bishop, Radio Club member, “The Kings Point Amateur Radio Club has undertaken a project to build and operate a digital, ham repeater system to serve Sun City Center and Southern Hillsborough County. The digital repeater system known as D-Star is a growing mode of operation in ham radio. It has the advantage of transmitting digital and voice message at the same time, plus it utilizes the Internet to link repeater coverage zones all over the world. Digital messages are sent error free and semi-encrypted making it possible to keep personal information private. The digital system has been adopted by law enforcement, weather agencies, FEMA, and many state and local Emergency Operation Centers (EOCS) for back up emergency communication needs. The

repeater and user groups will be open to all amateurs. As a hobby, amateur radio utilizes many modes of communication and having a D-Star repeater in our SCC community will allow our hams to stay in touch with family and friends around the world while providing an important service if the need arises.” Other projects funded and supported by The Men’s Club in
2012 and 2013 to date, include $ 3,900 for a hearing loop system in the Community Hall, $2,000 for a hearing loop system in the Florida Room, $5,200 for an automatic sliding door from the indoor to the outdoor pool, $1,700 for a defibrillator for the Pickle Ball Club, $ 1,000 to the Kings Point Library, $2,000 to the SCC Community Association from which $1,200 was used to purchase a new computer for

the SCC Library, and presently $4,000 is allocated for a hearing loop system in the Rollins Theatre. The Men’s Club, also, provides operating funds for the Men’s Health Project (prostate cancer), Parkinson Support Group, Hearing Loss Group, and the Neuropathy Resource Group. In addition to the above, the Club installs and maintains the Life Line Medical Alert system in residents’ homes. Life Line provides 24/7 medical alert monitoring for residents that have the system installed. Help can be summoned by simply pressing the Personal Help Button. On October 22, 2013, in appreciation for support given by residents of the Sun City Center Community, the Men’s Club is planning an open house with free ice cream, cup cakes, and entertainment at the Community Hall on South Pebble Beach Blvd. So watch for additional information from the Men’s Club.

The Editor’s Corner Cheers, Boos & Pumpkin Everything By E. Adam Porter, Editor, NOKP I think everyone probably has a favorite season, and if I had to pick, autumn would be mine. I love fall! Sure, I dig the perfect spring weather here in the Sunshine State. I cherish the summer beach trips that bring the rest of the country here for weeks of summer love and sunburns. I love the crisp winter days and the endless berries fresh from the farm. And who can’t smile at the idea of wearing shorts in January? But, even with all these wonderful things about the different seasons in the state I love to call home, autumn still tops the list. Why? The reasons are endless, some big and easy to define, others tiny and somewhat intangible. The Colors of Fall? Fall is officially upon us here in central Florida, though you may not know it from the colors outside your window. While millions coast-to-coast are stepping outside to a patchwork quilt of oranges, reds, yellows and browns, here in Florida we’re mostly still green. When we go out on the boat the weather is still warm enough for brightly colored swimsuits, and the clear blue-green water is still warm enough for a swim. Sure, we might be missing out on some postcard-worthy hues in the trees and on the ground. But it is precisely that “on the ground” part I can do without. While everyone else is raking leaves, we can travel to where the color is, take our pictures and head back home where the leaves are green…and still on the trees. Football Season! I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t a football fan. Even with today’s ridiculous NFL issues – from absurd rule changes to pampered players – I still love the game. And, with all the college football available on the flatscreen, it’s easy to get my fill of the game without ever tuning in to the NFL. Plus, in college football, you never really know what might happen.
Every game really could go either way, and that makes for some entertaining matchups. Of course, no game is quite complete unless you invite a rival team’s fan(s) over and rib each other during the game. In our home the “boos” and the cheers start well before October 31. Pumpkin Everything October and November are, without a doubt, the months of the pumpkin. You can’t go anywhere without seeing a pumpkin spice this or a pumpkin flavored that. I am not a fan. But while everyone else is buying pumpkin stuff, that leaves more cherry, blueberry and apple-cinnamon stuff for me. Yum! Halloween Treats Our family went through a stage for a few years when my eldest boy was “too old” for trick-or-treating and my youngest were not quite ready. This year, we are gearing up for a fun Halloween night. But the treats are just the beginning. I have always been a huge Peanuts fan. Linus, the blanket-toting philosopher was always a favorite character. Halloween for us means cuddling up on the couch with the little ones and watching Linus and Sally once again wait faithfully in their sincere pumpkin patch, hoping for some supernatural recognition. Family Time Autumn has always just “felt” like family time. This is one of those things I can’t really explain, but it just feels that way. Maybe it’s the football parties or holiday get togethers or just those first few crisp fall days, but autumn has always motivated me to gather those I love around me and keep them just a little bit closer. What are some reasons you love the fall season? Get online and click over to www. NewsOfKingsPoint.com and respond with a picture and your favorite reasons for loving the season. We will run them in the November issue of News of Kings Point.

Poem
Leaving Gatlinburg
Departing from the pastoral silence that wraps me in relaxation, I wonder what made this so. Embracing shades of green without rhyme or reason? Soothing whispers of unseen rushing waters? Leaves that use the wind to tickle my eyes? My heart smiles in soulful realization... Concrete, metal and glass are no barrier to nature’s peace, Ubiquitous, ever-searching for its kin within us. Suzanne S. Austin-Hill ©2013

Have Fun And Improve Your Memory
Submitted by Sun City Center Bridge Association Where are my car keys? I can’t remember my brother’s phone number! What was I supposed to get at the grocery store? The fear that our memory is slipping or eroding is on the minds of most of us. I have two choices. I can live with that fear every day or I can choose to fight it at every opportunity. The speed with which your brain processes information slows down with age. However, Professor Marian Diamond, Director of Lawrence Hall of Science at Berkeley University believes that “with proper stimulation, the brain can continue to develop at any age,” a fact that “has revolutionized our thinking about aging by emphasizing
ThisDorothy Is Your Life Roessel
Local resident, Spencer Faircloth, took on the project of interviewing local Centenarians and producing a “This is Your Life” story for these remarkable folks. In these stories he celebrates lives well lived and lifetimes of learning and growing. And speaking of stories, look for Spencer’s autobiography “From Watermelon Inspector to the White House” to be released in the coming year. Dorothy Roessel was born in 1912 in a small upstate New York town of Irondequoit near Rochester, New York. Dorothy attended and graduated from Rochester High School. She loved to read and her fondest memories

the importance of growth and learning throughout life.” Asked whether she thought that learning to play bridge would constitute stimulation, she replied, “Absolutely. Learning any new hobby and continuing the education process will stimulate the brain and the game of bridge would be a fun way to do it.” For many years, Diamond has been enthusiastically promoting her “use it or lose it” theory, encouraging her students to remain active, mentally as well as physically, for the rest of their lives. Your first step should be to let your doctor determine that you are physically healthy. A poor memory could be the result of a recent illness or even depression which sometimes can be treated
medicinally. The next key step to improving your memory is to pick out a certain activity that involves learning. The search has led a great many people to the fascinating game of bridge. Bridge has been proven to increase memory and concentration skills and helps to develop improved judgment and logic. It is low in cost and will help increase your social opportunities, providing you with the chance to meet other people, travel, make new friends with whom to attend social functions and more! You will have so much fun you won’t even remember that it’s actually good for you. Painless memory therapy – what a concept! The Sun City Center Bridge Association is offering four free “Easybridge!” lessons to introduce you to this fabulous pastime. The
lessons are for beginners and people returning to bridge after some years, or social players who want to learn modern bridge. It will be held in the Horizon Room starting Friday, October 25th from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. and will continue on successive Fridays at the same time. You will meet other new players in the community and play bridge your very first day. These lessons are open to everyone and every age, so bring all your friends and family with you and learn together. If you need a partner, someone will be there to play with you and fun is guaranteed every week! Free parking and free refreshments. The Horizon Room is located in Sun City Center’s Atrium Building off North Pebble Beach Boulevard. To register or for more information, call (813) 480-3368.
growing up were the books her parents gave her for birthdays and Christmas. After high school she received her Nursing RN from New York Semeca Hospital Nursing School and worked as a nurse at the hospital for a salary of $60 a month. She married Milton Roessel, one of a family of 14 children, and they had two children, Susan and Judith. Dorothy did not work as a nurse after she and Milton had children. They have five grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren. Dorothy worked with her husband in the family business of growing vegetables in green houses to sell to the local community. She remembers working many nights in the greenhouses all night long during the
very cold winters, common to northern New York. Dorothy considers her marriage and the birth of her children as very happy events in her life. Milton had heart problem and his doctor said he needed an operation if he wanted to live. Milton did not want the operation or medicine and lived for thirteen more years. She remembers the biggest celebration during her lifetime was events following the end of hostilities in World War One. She has enjoyed playing cards, especially bridge, throughout her life, and enjoys playing today. She also enjoyed martinis until she was 95, but she admits drinking alone is not much fun. She remembers
how much she enjoyed playing cards with her mother, drinking and smoking two Camel cigarettes. She has lived in Sun City Center for 20 years and moved to Freedom Plaza 1997. She has always paid cash for everything. She remembers her husband would not buy their first home until he had the full price of $4,500. She used $1,000 she had saved to buy their furniture. Her advice to young people is to do the same – save money and pay cash for what you buy. When asked what she likes best about Sun City Center, she replied having fun and making new friends. She said she would change nothing if she had her life to live over. She is happy and satisfied with her life!

two companies trucks and once again communications are established. Club members also live in surrounding communities. This way if telephone service is lost in Sun City Center messages can be relayed to Riverview where the phones may still operate. SCCARC club members move to the South Bay Hospital for the duration of a storm in case medical supplies need to be sent between hospitals but all other communications are down. After the storm you may need help but the road is blocked. You should look for an orange sign with an old fashioned telephone and the word EMERGENCY in someone’s house window. That is where a Radio Club member lives who can radio out to get help. There are about 100 members throughout Sun City Center and Kings Point that
have volunteered to provide this service. Their radio equipped gold carts may be able to go where another vehicle cannot. Maybe your out of town family or friends want to reach you but the phones are out. The club maintains a website in Ohio called www.sccarc.info. Your friends can leave a message on the site, which will be radioed to Sun City Center and brought to

you. The status of conditions in Sun City Center is also published on the site. Any of the stations with the orange signs or the radio club buildings will accept health and welfare messages from residents to be sent out to friends and families when phones are out. To perform their tasks several club members have taken courses sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These courses taught
them how to interact with the various agencies that are brought together by a major disaster. Every week training is held on the air that serves as a check that equipment is functioning correctly and as a practice network for passing messages is created. Several carry Hillsborough Emergency Operation Center Identification that enables them to offer help throughout the county.

The LEO Letter
With Deputy Jason Castillo
Watch Your Speed
It’s October and that means we will begin to see our seasonal residents returning to Kings Point and Sun City Center. The increased traffic brings to mind an increased occurrence of traffic violations. Of particular interest to many drivers here in SCC are the fines that come with traffic violations. Some are surprised at how expensive it can be to fudge the speed limit. So let’s review the facts. Moving violations include but are not limited to speeding, red light violations and stop sign violations. That “rolling stop” or “not quite red” light can definitely come back to bite you. The fine for many moving violations is $153, but they can get much more expensive. Here is how the speeding fines break down by speed. •1 to 9 mph over posted limits is $118 • 10 to 14 mph over posted limits is $193
The News of Kings Point
•15 to 19 mph over posted limits is $243 •20 to 29 mph over posted limits is $268 Once again, all of these rates are only the minimum fees. Assessed fines could be increased depending on the situation, which could include school zones, parked buses or construction zones, among other things. If you are ticketed for traveling over 30 mph over the posted limit, you will receive a mandatory court appearance. Now, you might be thinking that it’s tough to reach some of those higher fines. But consider, a marked speed limit of 25 miles per hour. Think about how easy it is to let that speedometer drift up to 40 mph. That’s 15 mph over the posted limit and a $243 fine. It sounds like a lot when you say it like that, but historically, this has been the fine LEOs in Kings Point write most often. Unfortunately, many of the folks getting the tickets are not really even aware how fast they are going. In those cases, the amount of a speeding fine can definitely come as an unpleasant surprise. Speeding violations are not the only moving violations that can get expensive. Running a stop sign or red light hit deep too. The point of these laws is that they can save lives. So, please, for your own safety, for your neighbors, your friends and your pocketbook – slow it down and take care when approaching intersections.

Ask Pete your questions about
prostate cancer How can I get a straight answer about what is the best treat‐ ment for my prostate cancer? A— This is the most frustra�ng part of learning you have prostate can‐ cer. Today there are so many different types of treatments and each one believes that it is the best. We recommend that you inter‐ view at least one doctor from each major specialty—one surgeon (usually the urologist who diagno‐ ses you); one radia�on oncologist (ask your friends who they recom‐ mend) and one ac�ve surveillance proponent (maybe a medical oncol‐ ogist). Don’t let anyone rush you to make a decision —prostate cancer is rarely an emergency (but some doctors will try to make you think so). And don’t worry about offend‐ ing the doctor who diagnosed you—this is a life decision for you, but a business opportunity for him. This informa�on is provided by the Da�oli Cancer Founda�on, a 501(c)(3) not‐for‐prot organiza�on. Submit your ques�ons to: 800/915‐1001 or gcarnahan@da�oli.com www.da�olifounda�on.com

Volunteers on one of the two serving lines were ready for the 627 people who supported the Holiday Walk Breakfast last December. Proceeds from the breakfasts go to SCC Fireworks Fund.
Holiday Walk Needs Volunteers By Phyllis Hodges
Although we’re still two months away from the Holiday Walk/ Breakfast on December 14, Sam and Joanne Sudman are starting to recruit volunteers. They need about 120 people to serve as ticket takers, greeters, 50-50 raffle ticket sellers, kitchen workers, line servers, etc. The breakfast will be served 7 a.m. to noon in the newly redecorated Florida Room on the N. Pebble Beach Central Campus. The morning work schedule is divided into two shifts. That means volunteers will work only three hours, 6 to 9 a.m. and 9 a.m. to noon. The cleanup crew begins sometime after 11:00 a.m. If you want to help, contact the Sudmans at jsudman@tampabay. rr.com to select the job best suited for you.
Hope FundVolunteers to Attend Orientation
Now that the summer programs are completed, it’s time to prepare for the main school season at Bethune Park in Wimauma, where The Hope Fund, an all volunteer, 501 (c)(3) organization, conducts after-school programs for at-risk children. An orientation meeting for volunteers, whether you’ve been with us awhile or will be new this year, will take place on Wednesday, October 30th at 1:00 PM at the Wimauma Senior Center. The only requirement for volunteering is that you enjoy children and want to help give those less fortunate get a good start in life. Volunteers are needed, starting Nov. 4th, 5th, and 6th, to read to the children on Mondays; on Tuesdays, to help with a running program and an art class; and on Wednesdays, to work with the children as a mentor or tutors. All programs last one hour per week. The Hope Fund also sponsors the summer program, field trips, sex and drug education for older children, guest speakers, and helping those with special needs, and The Fund also gives out scholarships to those families that cannot afford the full cost of the tuition for their children. Funds for the programs are raised through tax-deductible donations, fundraisers, and grants. The main fundraiser is Breakfast and Bingo, which is held twice a year. The next one is coming up on Saturday, November 9th at Community Hall from 8:30 to 11 AM, so save the date. More information will be forthcoming. For information on the orientation meeting and how to get there on October 30th, call Carla Miles at 634-4268. Check out our website at www.the-hope-fund.org for more information about The Hope Fund.

SCC Photo Club Meets Tuesday, October 8 at 6:30 pm
Can blurry photos be good? Photographer Doug Moore will talk about when you want blur and how to get it and when you don’t want blur and how to avoid it. Blur is a way for photographers to capture movement in images. Many types of photographs, not just sports, can benefit from the emphasis of movement in a shot – even when the movement is very small, slow and/or subtle. Doug will show examples of the effective use of blur and will talk about how to achieve those effects. Community members and guests are welcome to attend. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Caper Room with a tutorial. After a short business meeting at 7 p.m., the program will begin. Club meetings are open to all in the area. For more information on the club and its activities, please see our website at www.photoclubscc.com or visit the learning lab at 960D Cherry Hills Drive. Dues for the 2013 year remain at $20 per person or $30 per household couple and provide access to club activities, competitions and classes as well as the photo lab with computers, scanners and large format printers.

In preparation for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, members of Beth Israel Men’s Club erected a sukkah at the Temple.

The word “Sukkot” means “booths” which refers to the temporary dwellings. Agriculturally, Sukkot was the harvest festival. The holiday lasts for seven days. On September 19, Beth Israel held Sukkot services, after which the congregation was served refreshments in the sukkah. Joseph Munoz helps his dad Ray erect the Beth Israel sukkah. Helping Joseph are Paul Grossman, Bob Conte, Mel Feder, Bob Guzinsky, Harrie Jones, Steve Blesofsky, Greg Balent, and Ralph Shaw Sisterhood members Marsha Feder, Janet Corin, Rochelle Lafer, Sandra Hurwitz, Nina Malinak, Ronni Neckes, Sanda Abramson and Ellen Stein are busy decorating the sukkah.

Freedom Plaza News Submitted by MJ Rice The celebration of the 21st Anniversary of Freedom Plaza, the Brookdale Senior Living Community close by your neighborhood, has come and gone. The week of September 16 started with a bang as the Freedom Frolics opened a 3-day run. “The Best Little Horse Town in Texas”, the latest Peggy Burgess production came alive as familiar Western characters filled the stage and the auditorium with laughter. Parodies of such familiar names as Tonto, Chester, Calamity Jane, Wild Bill (Hiccup) and Wyatt Burp, Annie Oaktree to list a few. Oh, and we cannot forget Miss Kitty’s glamorous kittens, whose costumes, sparkled and glittered as they filled the stage. Kudos to the costumers! Who can forget the posse, who almost stole the show as they galloped in front of the stage with their walkers, cleverly disguised as horses by the talented men of FP Woodshop crew. Job well done by all the participants, the actors on stage, the narrators, the voice over readers, the backstage crew and all those who participated in Ms. Peggy’s 21st production of the famed “Freedom Frolics. Proceeds support the Freedom Plaza Scholarship Fund. Coming Soon The Walk For Alzheimer’s October 26, Freedom Plaza’s Freedom Marchers will once again lead the Walk for Alzheimer’s. The Walk, after a hiatus was brought back to Sun City Center five years ago through the efforts of Connie Lesko, Business Coordinator at Freedom Plaza.

Contract Bridge Super Crossword
By Steve Becker FAMOUS HAND
NETTLE DETECTOR
When this writer first began attending national bridge tournaments back in the 1960s, virtually all the players were from one of the American Contract Bridge League’s four member countries -- the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Bermuda. Today, all that has changed. National tournaments now attract scores of the world’s top players from Europe, South America and the Far East -including mainland China. The result has been that many of the ACBL’s most prestigious titles lately have been captured by visiting internationalists either independently or in concert

with North American players. One of these successes was a victory in the 2001 Spingold Teams. Americans Ralph Katz and George Jacobs teamed up with four of the 2000 Olympiad champions, Giorgio Duboin, Alfredo Versace, Lorenzo Lauria and Norberto Bocchi of Italy, and scored a 48-IMP victory in the final over an upstart team captained by Mike Moss. Today’s deal from the final shows the Italians in action. Bocchi’s opening two-spade bid showed spades and an unspecified second suit. West doubled for takeout, and when East left the double in for penalties, Bocchi retreated to his other suit. West doubled this for penalties, and Duboin now made an excellent decision to leave his partner in diamonds despite holding a significantly better spade, as East was already known to be well-heeled in spades. Three diamonds proved impossible to beat. Bocchi ruffed the heart lead and conceded a spade to West’s ace, and West could score only his K-Q of diamonds from that point on. So the contract was made with an overtrick for a score of +570. At the other table, the American North played in four hearts, down three, for -150. The two results combined gave the eventual victors a 12-IMP gain on the deal. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Strange But True
By Samantha Weaver • One of the former Duchesses of Windsor, when asked to reveal the secret to a long and happy life, replied, “Fill what’s empty, empty what’s full and scratch where it itches.” • You might be surprised to learn that Italians spend more time on social media than people of any other nationality. •In medieval times in Great Britain, those accused of a crime could prove their innocence (or guilt) in trial by battle. This law was unused and nearly forgotten for centuries. Then, in 1817, a man named Abraham Thornton was charged with murder in the death of a young woman named Mary Ashford. The evidence against Thornton was nearly overwhelming, but he claimed the right to trial by battle against his accuser. Since the law was still on the books, the court decided it had no choice but to grant his request. Thornton’s accuser was William Ashford, the victim’s brother, but since he declined to appear on the field of battle, Thornton was freed. Shortly thereafter, trail by battle was officially abolished in the country. • Cats can bark, too. • With 1.45 million lightning strikes per year, Florida experiences more lightning than any other state in the country. Central Florida is unofficially known as the Lightning Capital of the World. • If you’re like 70 percent of Americans, you hate the idea of your parents moving in with you, according to a recent survey. However, if those survey respondents had to have one parent move in with them, two out of three would choose Mom over Dad. *** Thought for the Day: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -- Maya Angelou © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Salome’s Stars
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries charm helps persuade others to listen to your proposal. But it’s still a long way from acceptance, unless you can stand up to the tough questions that are set to follow. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Plan to share a weekend getaway from all the pressures of your hectic workaday world with a very special someone. You could be pleasantly surprised at what develops. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your keen insight once again helps you handle a challenging situation with a clearer perception of what it’s really all about. What you learn helps you make a difficult decision. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you want to steer clear of getting involved in a new family dispute, say so. Your stand might cause hurt feelings for some, but overall, you’ll be respected for your honesty. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect recognition for your efforts in getting a project into operation. Besides the more practical rewards, your Lion’s heart will be warmed by the admiration of your colleagues. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) Set aside time to rid yourself of clutter that might well be drawing down your creative energies. Consider asking someone to help you decide what stays and what goes. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A colleague could make a request that might place you in an awkward position with coworkers. Best advice: Share your concerns with an associate you can trust. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your energy levels are way up, allowing you to take on the added challenge of a task you’ve been hoping to secure. Expect this move to lead to an important opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your continuing sense of confidence in what you’ve set out to do gives encouragement to others. Expect to see more people asking to add their efforts to yours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might think it would be best to reject a suggestion others insist would be unworkable. But you might be surprised by what you find if you give it a chance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.18) Changing a decision might disappoint some people, but the important thing is that you be honest with yourself. Don’t go ahead with anything you have doubts about. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) There could be some fallout from an emotional confrontation that you really should deal with before moving on. Best to start fresh with a clean, clear slate. BORN THIS WEEK: Your honesty not only helps you make decisions for yourself, but also helps others find the right choices for themselves. © 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
