MASTER GARDENERS LEAD SPRING GARDENING WORKSHOPS
Gardening is tricky business in the Rim Country — with our hills and little valleys you almost always are working in your own private microclimate. Consequently, the broadstroke guidance found in magazines and books has to be tweaked a little here and there to meet your particular needs. Enter the Gila County Master Gardeners. Aspiring horticulturists or veterans wanting to up their game in the garden wars have the opportunity to learn from these certified specialists next weekend — and it’s free. The Gila County Master Gardeners are hosting a free Spring Gardening Workshop from 8:45 a.m. to noon, Saturday, March 24 at the Payson Masonic Lodge, 200 E. Rancho Road, Payson. The following speakers will be addressing these topics in 30minute concurrent sessions with five minutes between sessions: • Susan Bolt and Lauren Cathcart — Seed Starting • Bruce Wales — Water Wise Gardening/Rainwater collection • Bill Roehr — Easy Garden Irrigation • Fred Jimenez — Making and Using Vermicast (worm compost!) • Chris Jones — Soils, Compost and Mulch Admission is free. Food, drinks and information tables will be available. To register, call (928) 474-4160 or the Master Gardener Hotline at (928) 402-8589, or e-mail Chris Jones at: ckjones@cals.arizona. edu. The Gila County Master Gardeners are trained community volunteers that provide local outreach for the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension.
THIS WEEK’S REVIEW Welcome to The Rim Review. This week’s cover story is about this weekend’s big Women’s Wellness Forum. The event is from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, March 24 and features as its keynote speaker Jason Schechterle, the former Phoenix police officer, who made a miraculous recovery from massive burns. The story outlines the day’s programs and the presenters. It will be a fun and
informative day. New this year, vendors will be selling their products. Continuing in this edition of The Rim Review are profiles of artists who will participate in the May 4, 5, and 6 ’Neath the Rim Studio Tour. Stan Brown continues the tales of violence that colored the Rim Country at the turn of the century in his Back When column.
Dead Horse Ranch State Park offers mountain bike clinics Park rangers at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood will offer mountain bike rides and clinics on Saturdays and guided ranger-led hikes on Sundays. The fee for the hikes are part of the $7 park car entrance fee, however, the mountain bike clinic and rides require an additional program fee of $5 per person. Nature Walks will start at 9 a.m. every Sunday morning from March 24 through May 5 and last for one to two hours. The guided hikes will meander along riparian areas or stroll through the high desert trails within the park. Hikers need to bring plenty of water, sunscreen and wear appropriate clothing; sturdy shoes, and a hat. Ranger Margie Sanchez says, “You might want to bring binoculars and a camera, too. These hikes are a great opportunity for wildlife sightings and photos.” Most hikes will start at the Quail Loop Campground, so inquire at the gate when you come in for Nature Walk starting points. Mountain Bike Basics will take place from to noon to 4 p.m. — “or when everyone gets tired” every Saturday afternoon from March 24 through May 5. “These will be beginner trail rides on the dirt, with some instruction on the pavement,” according to Park Ranger Randy Victory, a certified cycling instructor, who will offer everything from basic riding techniques to trail etiquette. Although the rides are oriented toward adult beginners, the minimum age of participants is 15. “There’s always a certain amount of interaction between riders,” explains Victory. “Group rides where the beginners are supportive of each other, and more experienced riders can offer their insight are an excellent way to build skills, and have a great time doing it. The focus is on fun!” Riders must wear a helmet and complete an acknowledgment of risk form (parents must sign for riders under 18).

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS
America’s favorite vacation spots Americans have various tastes when it comes to vacations. Some like camping; others prefer casino action in places like Las Vegas; while some would rather go to an interesting city and explore what it has to offer — and let’s not forget foreign travel and cruises. Let’s begin with those that like cities. San Francisco has the reputation as one of the world’s most bohemian capitals. Many consider it to be the most East Coastlike city in the West. It is both laid back and cosmopolitan and offers many interesting sights and destinations. It is known for its hills, row houses, cable cars, water front, and fine dining including seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf, shopping at the Ferry Building and interesting destinations near San Francisco. Be sure to include a meal in Chinatown. If you visit here, you might also consider heading north into wine country or into the mountains for a stop at Lake Tahoe. The KEN BROOKS climate is rather cool here during most months so take appropriate clothing. Washington, D.C. is always interesting and there is always something happening here. Plan at least three days for sightseeing. You will also want to include some of the Smithsonian Institutions museums — there are more than 50. For your introduction, plan to book a day’s sightseeing of the major spots in D.C. and let the sightseeing company do the parking. Other days you can park near the various points of interest. Spring is always picturesque with the flowers and trees beginning to bloom; D.C. has fine restaurants too. San Diego is always a pleaser, with its great weather, the ease in getting around, always near the ocean and wonderful beaches. The time to go if you want sun and a tan is during August and September after the “June Gloom” clouds have passed. San Diego has some of the best weather year-round of any city in the world. There is also much to do here. Music, museums, parks, zoos, water and Mexico is but 30 miles away. However, I would not go to Mexico now with the drug war problem all over the border. How about New York City? Here is a city that can be anything you want it to be. It is famous for live theater, concerts, museums, shopping, dining, interesting people and much more. It is also very easy to get around in. Take public transportation and don’t worry about parking or make use of the taxi service — they are not that expensive. Because there is so much to do, plan your stay carefully or you will run out of days. While here you can enjoy sampling a selection of cultures through your

dining choices. Chinese, Arabian, Jewish and Japanese are just a few types of restaurants available to you. Italian is always good here. Ask around and you will get recommendations from the locals. If you purchase last minute theater tickets you usually can save quite a lot of money. You might consider taking the train out to Long Island to view a different New York area. Yellowstone National Park is a favorite for those seeking nature travels. Here you will find geysers, hot springs, mountains, waterfalls, animals and almost everything you would expect in a far-away land. For this reason, it is also a great place to bring the young people. You won’t see these sights in towns and cities. The park is well managed and easy to navigate. You may camp or book a lodge or motel for your stay. Not far away are the Grand Tetons, which will dazzle the whole family with jagged mountain peaks as well as scenic lakes. We plan to drive there this coming May. You can also fly to the Tetons if you would prefer. Maui is one of the stars of the Hawaiian group. Some say it is the best of the Hawaiian Islands because of weather, scenery, fine lodging and interesting dining. It is escapism at its finest. You can snorkel, swim, sightsee for whales, get a good tan, rest on the fine beaches, drive up to a volcano and so much more. You can also fly direct to Maui now without changing planes in Honolulu. Maui rarely disappoints. Most travelers visit the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean by cruise ship, but you can also fly from the mainland and plan to stay a week or so to just relax, do a little shopping and perhaps take water taxis to some of the other nearby islands for some sightseeing. The climate will be almost perfect. It also has some very fine hotels in which to stay. If you want islands with action, I suggest you consider Honolulu in Oahu first. Waikiki Beach is known the world over for its fine resorts and hotels, great dining of all types, an almost perfect beach and something to do almost every minute day or night. Several airlines fly direct from the mainland every day. Nowhere in Hawaii is inexpensive, but if you have the dollars, it will offer one of the best vacations you can experience. The best time to go is almost anytime. Spring and fall are usually the best time for most destinations. Last summer we drove over to California to visit Santa Barbara, Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes and the other star of our national parks system, Yosemite. If you want to stay at one of the lodges in the park you will have to book a room well in advance of your intended visit. Yosemite is so popular that it fills up fast. The roads in and out are good, but plan to take your time. The scenery is mind-boggling. Yosemite is lakes, tall pines, rivers and streams and tall mountains wrapped into one park. You’ll never forget it! The entire area of the

Many consider San Francisco to be the most East Coast-like city in the West.
California High Sierras is worth a visit sometime. We can’t pass up the one and only Las Vegas as an important vacation spot. It is basically a giant playground for grown-ups. Some of the best dining, shopping and nightlife in the world can be found here, all in the comfort of climate-controlled casinos. This is not a vacation for people looking for an enriching cultural experience, it is a getaway for people looking to escape the real world and unwind for a bit. And you can be as excessive as you choose. Be sure to see one or two shows although they are no longer inexpensive today. And, good luck in the casinos! We have recently retuned from a few days in Orlando — Walt Disney World. Here is a place where the entire family can have a memorable vacation. Bring plenty of money, as Walt Disney World is expensive. You will find the Disney parks fun, well laid out and allowing the best vacation possible. Adults will find Epcot most fascinating. A destination that is quite different is the city of New Orleans. It has a culture all its own and is known to many as the Big Easy. Here is a melting pot of various cultures ranging from Caribbean to European. In some locations you feel as though you might be in a foreign country, especially in the French Quarter. When I think of New Orleans I usually think of fine dining. Some foods can only be found here and this helps to make the city so interesting. It has its own personality. When you visit, plan to stay in the French Quarter to make the most of your time. It was hit by a hurricane a few years ago, but it is now making a giant comeback and ready to welcome visitors. You’ll find the famous jazz, gumbo soup and seafood as one did years ago. Have great fun this year on vacation.

Upcoming studio tour will feature more than 20 artists BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR
Welcome to the second installment of profiles on artists participating in the May 4, 5 and 6 ’Neath the Rim Studio Tour presented by the Payson Art League. The studio tour is one of two major events presented each year by PAL. The other is the big ARToberFEST show and sale. Artists profiled in this edition are Don Harmon, Jan Hodson, Joseph Prow, Ruth Overton and Pat Stacy. DON HARMON
Don Harmon was born in Newton, Iowa. He was a member of a very creative family, served in the U.S. Navy throughout the Pacific, schooled in California and entered aerospace engineering on the West Coast. He and his wife traveled the back roads of the United States, Canada and Italy. Being exposed to so many fascinating environments — landscapes, seascapes and wildlife — processes and ideas of family, friends, associates and educators have culminated in an unbelievable education and wealth of experience. For the last 50 years he has had a burning desire to draw, paint and sculpt. His art portrays “fierce versus fragile,” “peaceful and serenity” and “those seldom seen special characteristics which reveal the essence of nature.”
Jan Hodson

JAN HODSON
Pat Stacy
JOSEPH PROW
Joseph Prow is a new artist to the Payson Art League. He has been turning wood since high school. He worked on cabinetry with Amish craftsmen for years, which allowed him to create detail and perfection in his creations. Mostly Prow’s work is practical and artful.

Ruth Overton paints oil landscapes, sunsets and florals. She takes many photos for composing her paintings. “When my husband was alive, he said, ‘I don’t care how many pictures you take going down the highway, but I am not going to stop every time you want a picture. So, take pictures fast. I don’t care if you waste some film,’” Overton said. Did he at least slow down? “Not always,” Overton said. “I got quite

Zech Booth was removed to the Maricopa County jail because of his tricks in the past, where he awaited without bail for the Grand Jury to convene in June. John went home on bail raised by his family, and after both were indicted a dual trial was held in Globe. John was released because the jury was undecided in his case. Zech was convicted and sentenced to hang. For several years he filed a series of appeals, all of which failed. At last on the morning of Sept. 16, 1905 he climbed the scaffold in the jailhouse yard, pleased with the large crowd that had lined up on nearby rooftops to watch. “Goodbye, everybody,” he yelled. “A lot of people are here to see Zech go the route.” As he stepped onto the trapdoor under the noose, he tipped his hat to the crowd and called, “Remember me to all the people up around St. Johns. I’m an innocent man. What I did was to protect my property and rights, my life and my home. I’m going to meet my dear old mother in heaven.” The local newspaper reported that within moments of his bold statement, “his body shot down like a plummet, the fall of seven feet breaking his neck instantly ....” It was the last time anybody was

President Wilson had issued a proclamation in 1898 allowing for sheep driveways to be set aside, but no action was taken in the Tonto Forest until 1908 when the foresters established boundaries for the Heber-Reno domestic Sheep Driveway across the Sierra Anchas. It was designed to keep the sheep within a given range, and keep them from interfering with the cattle range.

COVER STORY
Contributed and Andy Towle photos
Christy Walton, above, will get things off to a heart-pumping start at the Women’s Wellness Forum, with her Zumba program at 7 a.m., Saturday, March 24 at Payson High School. Mogollon Health Alliance Auxiliary member Pat Glaser, at right, talks to a guest at the 2011 Women’s Wellness Forum.
Women’s Wellness Keynote address opened to public The 14th Annual Women’s Wellness Forum is March 24 and features Jason Schechterle as the keynote speaker. Schechterle is the Phoenix police officer who suffered fourth degree burns to his face, neck and hands when his patrol car went up in flames after being rear-ended in 2001. He became a motivational speaker after retiring from the Phoenix Police Department in 2006. His topic at the forum will be “Making Coffee.” A number of men have expressed interest in hearing Schechterle speak, so the hosts are opening the keynote address to the public. To attend the forum just to hear Schechterle, a $10 admission charge is being requested. Schechterle will speak from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. in the auditorium at Payson High School. The forum will be from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, March 24 on the Payson High School campus. Participants will attend three breakout sessions, choosing from the following topics: yoga; skin care; domestic violence; automotive maintenance; hormones; scrapbooking; making unusual vegetable dishes; living well with diabetes or pre-diabetes; living the green life; and accessorizing. There is a $15 fee to attend the forum and there is limited financial assistance available for women who would like to attend, but cannot afford the fee. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9
Christine and B.J. Bollier will be leading a breakout session on cooking unusual vegetarian dishes at the 2012 Women’s Wellness Forum. The fee is $15 per person. To learn more, call the Mogollon Health Alliance at (928) 472-2588.

Aero Drive, Payson or on the MHA Web site www.mogollonhealthalliance.com under “calendar.” ABOUT JASON SCHECHTERLE
Schechterle’s story of survival and achievement, despite incredible odds, has mesmerized audiences across Arizona and the rest of the country. All he ever wanted to be was a police officer and joined the Phoenix Police Department in August 1999. On March 26, 2001, a taxi driver, having an epileptic seizure rear-ended Schechterle’s police cruiser going 115 miles per hour. The police vehicle burst into flames and in 55 seconds the fire covered 43 percent of Schechterle’s body. The fourth degree burns he suffered took the layers of skin and muscle to the bone. He was not expected to live, but six months ahead of schedule, after two months in a coma and 16 of 52 surgeries, Schechterle walked out of the hospital. While Schechterle admits he has suffered from his share of depression, he adds, “It takes too much energy to focus on the negative. “Life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we react to it. Attitude is a very powerful thing. There’s no reason to give up when you have a bad day or a bad experience because it’s going to get better, it always does.” In addition to the many speaking engagements he accepts through his Beyond the Flames program, Schechterle works as a private investigator. The Mogollon Health Alliance, the Women’s Wellness Forum Committee and Payson Regional Medical Center are sponsoring his appearance at the 14th Annual Women’s Wellness Forum. OTHER PRESENTERS

THE SCHEDULE
7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. — Zumba! — Join Christy Walton and dance to the beat at this Latin fitness party, in the PHS Studio Theatre. As a Latina from El Paso, Texas, Christy Walton moved to Arizona in 1977 to study dance at Arizona State University. In 1980, she caught the fitness wave and has been leading dance-fitness classes ever since. Her unique style of cueing and inspiring movement has motivated thousands of women over three decades to dance in ways they never thought possible. This year marks her fifth year of teaching Zumba in Payson. In 2011, she introduced Zumba Gold to the community to accommodate beginners or those who need to take things a little slow. No matter what level she is leading, Christy’s choreography is dynamic yet easy-to-follow and appeals to all ages. Christy is also very involved in organizing Zumba-thons to raise funds for local non-profit organizations. She is Zumba certified and a member of the Zumba Instructor Network. By day, she works full-time as the marketing director for Rim Country Health, but she always keeps Zumba in her life, which according to her is what keeps her balanced and feeling great. She holds a M.Ed. in counseling from NAU and a B.A. in communication from ASU, with a minor in dance. 7:15 a.m. to 7:50 a.m. — Registration/Continental Breakfast in the PHS Auditorium lobby. 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. — Keynote address, “Making Coffee” by Jason Schechterle in the PHS Auditorium.

(sites will be on map in registration materials). Yoga for Your Body, Mind and Spirit with Diane Nathe-Roder — Hatha/Vinyasa-style yoga for beginners. Yoga calms the nervous system and is a great stress reliever. It is recognized as being one of the healthiest exercises for total well-being. Nathe-Roder teaches yoga and provides massage therapy at her Yoga and Massage Studio in Pine. Nathe-Roder was drawn to yoga in her early 20s when she discovered its calming, meditative and health benefits. The more poses she learned the more she found her core muscles and organs strengthened. She has taught yoga in the Rim Country for six years, first at a gym in Payson and now at her Pine studio. She is also an artist working in paints and mixed media. Goddess Skin Care with Gail Gorry, Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant — Learn the latest news in skin care protection and get tips how to keep skin beautiful and healthy under the thin Rim sun. Come “face” the facts in this interactive, educational experience. Gail Gorry has been leading skin care classes with women all over the Rim Country for the past seven years. Following 26 years employment with the Payson Public Schools as teacher, administrator, and curriculum director, she currently works with the Gila County Education Service Agency as curriculum specialist, serving all school districts in Gila County. Besides work and skin care classes, she fills her life with music, church, Curves, Zumba, and keeping up with her busy bicycling family. Gail is married to Wayne and they have two sons, Aspen and Cypress, plus a new daughter-in-law, Devon. Breaking the Cycle with Jean Oliver and Susie Wicks — Have you ever sus-
pected or known someone locked in the cycle of domestic violence but did not know what comfort you could offer or even how to listen? Mother and daughter team, Jean Oliver and Susie Wicks will share how to break the cycle. They will also cover teen dating violence. Jean Oliver and her daughter Susie Wicks have lived in Rim Country since the 1980s. Jean’s background is in health and education. Right now her passion is for education about all phases of domestic violence — better described as family violence. Susie has been a personal advocate at Time Out, Inc. and is currently in training to become a life coach. Both women have survived family violence situations and want to share their experiences, let others know how to help someone in this situation and learn more about this from their audiences. Everyone has a story: one out of three women will be abused during their lifetime. Keep your Goddess Wheels on the Pavement with Sarah “Bogi” Lautiner of 180 Degrees Automotive in Phoenix — Take an active role in caring for your vehicle with Bogi, who opened her business to provide auto repair service and educational programs about vehicle maintenance to women. The class is outdoors, so if the weather is iffy, be prepared. Lautiner started 180 Degrees Automotive to provide individualized automotive repair service and educational programs about automobile maintenance and to break the stereotype that “women don’t know anything about cars.” Her mission is to inform and empower her clients to take an active role in caring for their vehicles, and to encourage other women to pursue careers as auto mechanics. She is currently writing a handbook for women, and anyone else, who wishes to learn
more about their cars and about the world of automotive repair. Lautiner developed an interest in automotive technology at Montclair High School, N.J., where she rebuilt her first car, a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle, and convinced the school board to continue funding industrial arts programs, arguing the value of teaching skills that would be useful throughout life. A graduate of Oberlin College in Ohio, where she majored in pre-law and women’s studies, Lautiner decided to pursue her dream of becoming an auto mechanic. She earned an associate’s degree in automotive technology at Universal Technical Institute in Phoenix, completed post graduate training at the BMW STEP Program in Montvale, N.J., worked as a BMW technician in New York, and distinguished herself as a Master Technician and ASE Certified Specialist at Scottsdale BMW before starting 180 Degrees Automotive. Harnessing your Hormones with Roslyn Rogers, a Certified Nutritional Consultant, Board Certified in Integrative Medicine — Rogers brings more than 25 years experience in teaching about vitamins and herbs to this class about the benefits of balancing your hormones. Her lectures and seminars include anti-aging, menopause, PMS, weight management and most women’s health issues. Her commitment to a healthy lifestyle runs deep. Raised in Long Island, N.Y., she first gained a desire for better health and wellness from her mother, who was influenced by Adelle Davis, an author and nutritionist who advocated for unprocessed food and vitamin supplementation. In her 30s, Rogers decided to follow a vegetarian lifestyle. Now 70 years young, Rogers shows no sign of slowing down — evidence that she practices what she CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Discover the importance, beauty and relevance of those old family photos, letters and memorabilia in this program. Brenda Hamric (formerly Martell) has called Payson home since 1987. She was raised in New York and has lived in many Southwest locations. An artist, she has always loved the Rim Country for its beauty and while as a home-schooling mom, she truly appreciated smalltown life. Her love of creative endeavors combined with her strong Christian faith brought her to scrapbooking more than 20 years ago. In 2004 she and longtime friend, Barbara Wilembrecht, opened Paper & Metal Scrappers in Payson to provide tools and materials, along with lessons for fellow fans of scrapbooking, stamping, card making and more. After being widowed in 2007 she began teaching scrapbooking at Gila Community College. Recently she has retired from the retail business and is devoting time to her new marriage, teaching, designing and publishing in the paper arts. Nourishing Your Goddess with Christine and B.J. Bollier — The proprietors of Payson Vita-Mart are back to whet your appetites. This year they will show how to prepare healthy, tasty, unusual vegetable dishes using seasonal produce.

and down to earth style make his presentations both entertaining and informative. Living a Green (Goddess) Life with Professor Nicole Darnall from Arizona State University’s School of Sustainability, who will share ways to be a green consumer and talk a bit about information-based environmental policies. For almost two decades Dr. Darnall has been examining firms’ sustainability responses to the regulatory and social setting. Her research investigates the reasons why companies supply sustainability strategies, whether these strategies improve the environment and whether companies that improve the natural environmental also derive business value. More recently she has begun to assess consumers’ demand for corporate green strategy and how this demand might be influenced through public policy or business initiatives. Darnall is a Collaborative Visiting Fellow with the Economic and Social Research Council and the Social Science Research Council and an Erasmus Mundus International Scholar. She has been awarded the Academy of Management, Organizations and Natural Environment Division’s Emerging Scholar Award for research excellence and its Best Paper Award. Darnall’s scholarship has also received the Decision Science Institute’s Distinguished Paper Award. She sits on the Editorial Review Boards of Journal of Business Ethics and Business & Society. Formerly, she was an economist for the U.S. Forest Service.

Goddess to Go with Karen Phylow — Because when a goddess feels gorgeous she also feels strong and ready to face the world with a smile. Karen Phylow of Lucky Girl Accessories will show how to freshen your look with items you keep handy, perhaps in your purse or office drawer. A native North Dakotan, Karen Phylow moved to Arizona in the spring of 1988 to do her student teaching at Julia Randall Elementary School. She was hired at Pine Strawberry School as a third-grade teacher the following fall. After teaching there for 10 years, she did a brief stint with the postal service and then returned to teaching. Due to the fluctuations in funding for education, her teaching assignments have included K-4, 6-8, music, choir, and hand bells, to name a few. Her love of all things fashion has led her to selling purses, jewelry, and accessories in her spare time. She also hopes to become a CAbi clothing consultant in time for the fall season. 12:35 p.m. to 2 p.m. — Luncheon and Vendor Show in the Wilson Dome.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful about doing someone a favor when you don’t know the full story behind the request. Don’t rely on someone’s unsubstantiated assurances. Insist on all the facts before you act. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That workplace problem still needs your attention before you finally can close the book on it. Meanwhile, a long-anticipated reunion gets closer to becoming a happy reality. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be demanding more from others than they can give. Best advice: Have a long and frank talk to determine what the facts are. Tensions should abate as the week winds down. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Aspects are favorable throughout this week for making contacts that could be important to your career plans. Meanwhile, an old friend offers the advice you’re seeking. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s time to stop licking your wounds from past mistakes. Get up and get going toward your future. Loyal friends will be there to help the Lion get back into rip-roaring shape. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take time out to go over what’s expected of you before you begin your new project. Otherwise, you run the risk of pushing yourself harder than you need to. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) An unusual request could put you in an awkward position. Best advice: Deal with it immediately. The longer you delay, the more difficult it will be to get out of it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You should feel recharged and ready for whatever your workaday world holds for you. The same positive energy spills over into your personal relationships. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A prospect might be less than it appears to be. Like the Archer in your sign, you always aim for the truth. And this is no time to settle for less than full disclosure. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Start doing some serious thinking about a career move that could entail more than just changing job sites. Some lifestyle changes also might be involved. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) With tensions easing at the workplace, a more positive environment once again encourages the free flow of ideas so typical of the always-innovative Aquarian. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Show some of that usually hidden steel-strong Piscean backbone, and stand up for yourself if you hope to make a case for that promotion you know you deserve. BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy doing new things and staying ahead of the crowd. You would make a fine sports coach or military leader. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
