Welcome to The Rim Review and Happy 4th of July. The cover story of this issue is about the festivities planned for the holiday in Payson and coming celebrations elsewhere in the Rim Country. While the fun in Payson for Fourth is to celebrate Independence Day, there will be parties in Pine and Pleasant Valley (Young) to mark the 100th anniversary of Arizona Statehood.

Elsewhere you will find recipes from the newly published cookbook, “Fireflies Can Cook” by the Fireflies Auxiliary of the Hellsgate Fire Department. Historian Stan Brown tells of David Gowan, who some speculate met a violent end, but more than likely did not. Both Andy McKinney and Katie Schouten review “Rock of Ages,” which has left Sawmill Theaters, but might be worth looking for at your favorite “video”

retailer. Visit Santa Barbara with Ken Brooks in his Travel Talk column. And, as an extra bit of information, learn how to get a passport. Since this is the first issue of the month, we once again bring you Simone Lake’s Firm Foundation column. Thanks for reading. Teresa McQuerrey, editor Rim Review

RIM REVIEW • VOLUME 14, NO. 27

The annual “Dog’ed Daze of Summer, Law Enforcement EXPO and K-9 Demonstration” is planned for Tuesday, July 17. For the past 20 years, police dogs, handlers and trainers from all over the U.S. and Canada have come to Payson for the annual K-9 Officers Survival Seminar. During the course of the seminars, K-9 Units are seen all around the Payson area conducting various training scenarios. Several years ago, organizers were asked by the public to be able to view these K-9s in action and so the “Dog’ed Daze Of Summer” was started. This year, the event is at the Payson Event Center, Tuesday, July 17. Gates open at 4 p.m. and the demonstration is at 7 p.m. New this year is a Law Enforcement EXPO with events and displays from agencies like U.S. Forest Service, Arizona Game and Fish, Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Arizona National Guard, as well as the Payson Police Department Special Response Team and the Gila County Sheriff’s Lake Patrol. The Arizona Law Enforcement Canine Association will accept donations at the gate to help sponsor the annual event. The Payson Event Center is at 1400 S. Beeline Highway, across from the entrance to the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino and Tonto Apache Reservation.

TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

A Santa Barbara break A few days ago we returned from a week in Santa Barbara, Calif. It is located 90 miles north of Los Angeles. It claims 95,000 residents in the city proper and some 300,000 in neighboring communities. It is sometimes referred to as the American Riviera. It has beautiful beaches, majestic mountains and a colorful culture that make it a premier resort destination. It features world-class accommodations and fine dining. There is so much to do here you will rarely be bored. Artist galleries abound, golfing is available at several very fine courses, tennis and water sports are here for the asking as well as horseback riding. You can also take hikes, swim in the Pacific Ocean and get a tan on the almost perfect beaches. Nightlife is available with various forms of live music being played and there are performances by the Santa Barbara KEN BROOKS Symphony and Opera Company. Sightseeing around the area would include the Santa Barbara Harbor, which is loaded with fine yachts and boats; wave runners and jet boats are available for rent. The long pier jetting out over the ocean is Sterns Wharf — the place to fish — dine at Moby Dick’s and view abundant marine mammals and sea life. You can see fishermen unloading their catch and take a harbor cruise to become more familiar with the area. There is a Trolley Bus that offers tours around town plus you can purchase an all-day pass for $19 allowing you to get on and off at various points of interest. You can get off at the Historical Museum, Botanic Gardens, and a whale-watching point, the Maritime Museum, the Natural History Museum, Santa Barbara Zoo plus many shopping locations. The Trolley also stops in front of five varied menu restaurants. This saves you the trouble of finding a place to park. It begins at the front of Sterns Wharf. Being located off Highway 101, which runs north and south along the coast, you can also take day trips to many various locations of interest. You can also purchase tours to the Channel Islands National Park, which includes a brief channel crossing to Santa Cruz Island, which is California’s largest. Here, you can dive, go kayaking and explore the almost unpopulated island. The weather in Santa Barbara is ideal. Cool winters and moderate summers. It never gets too cold or too hot here. On one day you can drive to the Santa Ynez Valley with its rolling, caramel-colored hills dotted with dark green valley oaks, grazing cattle, horse ranches and vineyards. Wine tasting and vineyard touring is also available. A trip to near-by Solvang is always interesting. It resembles a typical Scandinavian village and is loaded with shops, bakeries and hotels. You can have lunch Swedish style. As long as you are in the area, Pea Soup Andersen’s restaurant is in nearby Buellton.

Mission Santa Barbara

I am a rail fan and on one day I took the Surfliner train north to San Luis Obispo. It’s a two-and-a-half hour ride up the coast. The tracks are located on the cliffs overlooking the surf. It’s a beautiful ride and worth the time. I did a turnaround on the train and was back in Santa Barbara at 4:30 in the afternoon. One morning have breakfast at Henry’s Beach restaurant. You can dine inside or outside. The menu is good and the prices fair. Locals walk their dogs in the morning along the beach as well as the surfers going into action with the waves. Another great place for breakfast is the Santa Barbara Biltmore Hotel which is now a Four Seasons property and one of the most luxurious in the region. Sit at a window facing the ocean and enjoy dining in a regal atmosphere. And, the original Sambo’s restaurant is located very near the Sterns Wharf entrance. They still make great pancakes and waffles. Plan at least five days or a week here, you’ll be glad you did. You can fly non-stop from Phoenix

to Santa Barbara daily if you choose not to drive. Contact the visitor center and they will be happy to give you several pamphlets and flyers you will find helpful. It is located near the beach near the wharf, the phone number is (805) 9653021.

GETTING A PASSPORT Every American citizen must possess a passport if they wish to travel beyond the U.S. borders. In Payson you may pick up an application at the Superior Court/County building located at 714 S. Beeline Highway, Suite 104. After filling it out, it is to be mailed to the State Department for issuance. The fee for adults is $110 and children $25. Allow at least four weeks for processing. If you need one fast, an extra $60 will speed the process. If you only wish to visit Canada or Mexico, you may be issued a passport card.

FIRM FOUNDATION | SIMONE LAKE

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Every year, Americans across the nation, celebrate the freedom of our land. The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, is mostly commemorated outside with a variety of festive events including barbecues, picnics, family reunions and parades. Inside events often include memorial speeches, ceremonies and other public happenings. Then there is the spectacular display of fireworks that brings to a close a Big Bang of a day! My husband and my annual tradition on this day is to eat and visit with family and friends, then eat some more, including yummy desserts! After that we then “Ooooo” and “Ahhh” as we strain our necks looking upward at the sky filled with various shapes and designs of multicolor dots spreading out lights of big multiple star lights. We also jump in excitement at the loud booming sounds of the fireworks as each one is launched, squealing with glee like little kids describing what each firework looks like SIMONE LAKE with all the light dots spreading out and fading across the sky… Oh wait a minute, maybe I am just describing myself. Needless to say, on this day, there is no doubt that there is a whole lot of celebrating going on! This federally approved holiday started with the separation of the 13 colonies from Great Britain in July of 1776. Thus Independence Day was a day symbolizing freedom from the bondage of Britain rule. One interesting fact from this historical time frame is a letter that John Adams (one of the Committee of Five who explained the purpose of the holiday) wrote to his wife Abigail after this day was declared. It reads, in part. “…day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.” God was and is acknowledged as the One to Whom we are to commemorate for this earthy event. Symbolizing spiritual freedom clearly noting with yellow highlighter that God is the true One that delivers us out of bondage and into His glorious light of liberty (I Peter 2:9). What does Independence Day mean to you? Independence Day always reminds me of my spiritual freedom in Christ. When God, in Genesis 3, promises to liberate his people, there were several

places in which that takes place. One: when God sent Moses to literally free the Israel people from slavery of the Egyptians (Exodus chapters 5-10). This successfully took place in Exodus when God, using Pharaoh, allowed the Israelites to be let go into the long journey and trek into the wilderness to the promise land. The colonists prior to July 4, were under bondage to one nation and set free to establish their own, much like the Israelites. The second place of spiritual liberty this day reminds me of, is when the New Testament covenant is fulfilled in Christ shed blood on the cross. God made a promise to Abraham. He swore by Himself because there was no one greater to swear by. The promise was reconciliation offered to all nations from the seed of Abraham to us living in 2012 and beyond. Restoration of a fallen mankind back to Creator God and liberty from bondage of our old sinful nature to complete eternal freedom for those who receive Christ as Lord. So in a third-grade class sort of way… tell the class, what does Independence Day means to you — I just got up in front of class (all of you) to do just that. It is pretty cut and dried. There is the spiritual freedom that comes from accepting Christ as Lord. This indeed is a true Day of Independence. One that lasts for eternity. In what ways are you bound up? Chained and imprisoned; yearning for complete liberty from bondage? Is it struggling with a hideous secret that would leave you shunned forever in the eyes of your family and friends? Is it unforgiveness of a situation and circumstance that boxed you in the corner by making choices of overflowing regrets? Or maybe a hopelessness that grows from loneliness, wanting closeness with other humans but never finding it. Well there is wonderful great news of freedom for you. Much like the promised and signed covenant that these United States made in the Declaration of Independence, God has signed a covenant promise with you, sealed it by the blood of Christ and written your name in a permanent tattoo on His hand. All you need to do is ask and receive. Let us with fervent passion seek our liberty in the spirit realm of Christ that lasts for eternity. Our seeking goes as far as us yielding and receiving the wonderful liberty of reconciliation, God’s plan from the beginning of time. © Copyright 2012 Simone Lake. All Rights Reserved.

RIM HISTORY RIM HISTORY BACK WHEN | STAN BROWN

The Wild West in the Rim Country CHAPTER 21: DEATH ON DEER CREEK

The time was December 1925 and Jesse Chilson at the Bar-T-Bar Ranch on Deer Creek was wondering why the old prospector had not made his usual trip to the ranch for mail. David Gowan had spent the last few years at his crude cabin up stream from the BarT-Bar. When he sold the Gowan Mine over near the East Verde for $10,000, he invested the money in another mine called the Black Hawk. He spent his days mining high above his cabin in the Mazatzal Mountains at the headwaters of Deer Creek. Then each week he would come down to the ranch to get his mail and enjoy a STAN BROWN hot meal. However, this time it had been several weeks since Gowan had shown up. Chilson was anxious about the old man, and set out that cold, winter day along the trail to find him. David Douglas Gowan was born in Scotland in 1843 and was raised by his fisherman family to be a man of the sea. He was not a tall man, but agile, muscular and in excellent physical condition. His long, wavy, reddish-brown hair hung to his shoulders and his prominent cheekbones were evident above the ample mustache. Adding to this imposing stature was a heavy Scots brogue that helped him win his way. When of age, he enlisted in the British Navy, but the confinement of that life was more than he bargained for. While put in at an African port, he jumped ship and eventually found his way to America. The Civil War was under way at the time and Gowan joined the U. S. Navy. When his time of service ended, he found himself on the west coast. He invested his savings in a fishing vessel named the Dreadnought and returned to his familiar trade. He and a small crew were caught in a storm somewhere between San Francisco and Seattle and the boat was destroyed. Gowan was the only survivor. After the wreck, Gowan retreated to southern California and there he befriended Jim Samuels. His new friend had heard about a luxuriant land, excellent for cattle ranching. This news came from soldiers who had fought Apaches in the Rim Country and it was enough to entice the two men to come to the Tonto Basin. They purchased a herd of sheep in California and headed east across the desert by way of Needles. Those days, in the 1870s, the Apache and Yavapai Indians had been all but defeated and placed on reservations. However small bands of renegades remained at large, hiding out in the trackless forests and canyons, eager to raid the livestock of any invading settler.

Jim and David set up camp along Tonto Creek at a place called Gisela. They built a rock house that could not be burned, from which they could fend off raiding natives. As they dug an irrigation ditch, they took turns guarding against attack while the other worked on the ditch. However, their sheep business began to disintegrate because the local grass was not suitable and the flock became decimated by coyotes, wolves, and Indians. The two restless pioneers decided prospecting for gold was a better idea than sheep ranching, and Jim Samuels staked a claim for land in the vicinity of today’s Doll Baby Ranch, west of Payson on the East Verde River.[1] Gowan continued to camp on Tonto Creek, but while prospecting up Pine Creek he discovered a fantastic travertine arch that formed a natural bridge over the creek. Military records show that a detachment of Company E, Arizona Volunteers, had first discovered this site in 1866. However, throughout the years, Gowan claimed he was the first White man to discover the Natural Bridge. Frequently pursued by Indians while out prospecting, one time Gowan spent three days in a cave high up under the arch, avoiding his pursuers. In 1879 Gowan sold his claim on Tonto Creek to the Sanders families, Mormon settlers who proceeded to establish the village of Gisela. The prospector then set up camp at the Natural Bridge and filed for squatter’s rights. The exchange with the Mormons had netted him mules, tack, a wagon, a horse, fruit trees and berry bushes, which he planted at the Natural Bridge.[2] In the mid-1890s, a British visitor to Arizona wrote an article about this Natural Bridge and its interesting occupant. The piece was published in England, and a Scottish tailor, reading the account, took a special interest. David Gowan Goodfellow was reading about his uncle. The tailor sent a letter to Gowan, and though addressed only to Flagstaff, Arizona Territory, it found its way to him. Davy Gowan answered immediately, offering Goodfellow ownership of the site if he would come and claim it. So David and Lillias Goodfellow came with their family to be settlers. During the years that followed, they developed the Tonto Natural Bridge as a destination for visitors. After the turn of the century, the prospector, now approaching 60, was feeling the aches and pains of arthritis. His reddish-brown hair had turned white and receded, his teeth were all gone, and he had begun to develop palsy. In spite of the ailments, he opened a mine along the East Verde River, which became one of the better paying mines in the Payson District. It was registered as the Gowan Mine. Meanwhile, another nephew of Gowan’s had jumped ship from the British Navy on the East Coast

and had come with a friend to the Rim Country to look up his cousin David Goodfellow. He was Andrew Ogilvie, and after the reunion he worked in the mines at Jerome and drove the mail stage between Payson and Globe. In 1897, Ogilvie bought a homestead in the center of Starr Valley from Louis Barnini and in 1908 he married Agnes Lazear. To this family were born three children, among them Payson’s long standing “weather lady,” the late Anna Mae Deming. David Gowan often retreated to the Ogilvie ranch to clean up, renew his supplies, and break the monotony of his isolated life. At one point, his pipe somehow started a fire in the cabin Ogilvie had built for himself on the ranch. The cabin was saved, but Ogilvie’s storage shed with their supply of meat and vegetables burned to the ground. After making one last mine claim in the Mazatzal Mountains along Deer Creek, Gowan continued his life of isolation as a prospector and camped on the mountain until 1925. When Gowan did not show up at the Bar-T-Bar for his mail, Jesse Chilson went up the creek to look for him. He found the old man’s frozen body along the trail, on a little bench of land by Deer Creek. He had taken off his shoe, as if his feet were bothering him, and simply laid back and died. Chilson went back and gathered a posse, including deputy sheriff Jim Cline and Andrew Ogilvie. As a winter storm was blowing snow, they prepared a coffin from old boards, and cut into the frozen ground where Gowan lay. They buried him there in his beloved wilderness on New Year’s Day 1926. Andrew Ogilvie bought the headstone for his uncle, but since they did not exactly know the date of death, the stone simply read, “David D. Gowan, 1843-1926.” Later, rumors floated about to the effect that Gowan had been murdered for his gold claim. There was never any evidence to substantiate that.[3] NEXT: Unidentified Skeletons [1] In 1877, the party of Mormon settlers arrived on the scene and bought Samuel’s claim for $75, calling the place Mazatzal City. Samuels went to the Salt River Valley and claimed 160 acres where today’s Scottsdale City Hall stands. He later sold that and moved to Hemit, Calif. [2] One of his apricot trees would, years later, become celebrated as Arizona’s largest, bearing 100 bushels of fruit. [3] The grave can be reached beginning at the Deer Creek Trailhead off of Highway 87. Continue to the right as other trails branch off. Beginning with Trail 46, continue on Trail 45 (the Deer Creek Trail) until you see the grave on your left. The hike will take about 1-1/2 hours.

The Payson Arizona Foot Races are part of the friendly competitions and family games featured at the Town of Payson’s July 4th celebration in Green Valley Park.

CELEBRATE all day July 4th

Payson’s national birthday bash kicks off at 8 a.m., Wednesday, July 4 with a patriotic ceremony to salute to those men and women who have made this a free country. The program includes members of the community reading the Declaration of Independence aloud. Right after the 8 a.m. flag raising at the Veterans Memorial in Green Valley Park and a few remarks, guests will be asked to take a short walk to the grassy area near the Rim Country Museum where chairs will be set up. Payson is one of the few towns in Arizona with a tradition of a public reading of the Declaration of Independence. The public reading is followed by public participation with spontaneous remarks. Everyone is invited to be part of the re-commitment to freedom and liberty. Then from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Payson will conduct its annual family games and friendly competition. Families will enjoy everything from sack races to egg toss to tug of war. Finally the town will conduct the 4th Annual Payson Arizona Foot Races.

Starting at 7 p.m. and going to 9 p.m., the amphitheater bandstand will come alive with live music by the Technicolors Band, with music geared for all ages. The “BOOM” starts at about 9 p.m. with one of the most spectacular fireworks shows in Arizona. Surrounded by the cool confines of Green Valley Park and its three lakes, this venue offers a picturesque setting for the show. Sponsors of the 2012 fireworks show are Digitell Verizon Wireless, Northern Gila County Sanitary District, the Town of Payson’s Water Department and Payson Regional Medical Center. Due to the popularity of this event, parking in the area is limited, so additional space is being made available at the Payson High School administration parking lot (off of McLane). Free shuttles will run from Payson High School to Green Valley Park starting at 5:30 p.m. After the show, the busses will return people to their cars. (Directions: from the junction of Highways 87 and 260, go west on CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a black woman writing on behalf of my boyfriend. He has a crop of little bumps on his face. I asked him if they are pimples, and he laughed. He said they’re shaving bumps. How does he get rid of them? — R.C. ANSWER: Men of any race can develop shaving bumps. Black men’s hair is more tightly coiled, and they, therefore, are quite susceptible to them. If a man cuts his facial hair too closely to the skin, it can spring back toward the skin and penetrate it. Tightly coiled hair is especially prone to this. The sharp end of the hair pushing back into the skin acts like a foreign body. It irritates the skin and inflames it. A little bump forms. It must be a chore for your boyfriend to shave. To get rid of the bumps, he has to stop shaving until they go away. He also has to dislodge all the hairs that have penetrated the skin. He can do this by taking a clean needle and slipping it under the loop that the hair makes. Then he pops the end of the hair out of the skin. When he frees all the ingrown hairs and stops shaving, his skin will clear. To prevent new bumps when he resumes shaving, he has to adopt a different shaving style. He must soften his beard with soap and warm water before using a razor. He will do himself a favor by buying an electric razor and putting it on a setting that doesn’t shave the beard too closely. With either a blade or an electric shaver, he should shave in the direction of hair growth, and he shouldn’t pull his skin taut. If he goes through all this and doesn’t meet with success, he’ll have to see a doctor. In fact, if his shaving bumps are crusted with dried pus, he should start out by seeing a doctor. The pus indicates infection, and he’ll need an antibiotic cream to get rid of any infection. If your boyfriend is squeamish about freeing the ingrown hairs with a needle, you can do the job for him. You’re the one who set all this in motion. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I wonder if you will answer my question, which concerns our medical records. Are we, as patients, entitled to request our

medical records in order to deliver them to a new doctor? We have had to change to a new doctor and would like him to know our past medical history. He hasn’t received the complete file, including tests. Since our insurance pays for these tests, it seems to me that we should be able to request the originals or copies. — P.S. ANSWER: Laws regarding the ownership of medical records vary from one state to the next. However, in most states, the doctor and hospital own the medical records. However, you are entitled to get a complete copy of your records. The doctor or the hospital can charge a reasonable fee for copying them. If the doctor or hospital refuses to comply, contact your county or state medical society. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I try to keep up with the latest nutritional recommendations. I have had no formal training, so I am often confused by the terms used. For example, what are simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates? What’s the difference? — L.A. ANSWER: Simple carbohydrates are sugars like table sugar (sucrose). The sugar in intravenous feedings in hospitals is glucose, and fruit sugar is fructose. Both are simple carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are very long chains of the basic carbohydrate unit. Starches are complex carbohydrates. Potatoes, pastas and rice are examples of complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates don’t raise blood sugar as quickly as simple ones do. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Average American eats 80 lbs. of chicken per year • Do you think you could eat 80 pounds of chicken? If you’re like the average American, that’s how much you will consume this year. • You’ve probably heard or even used the term “fly off the handle” to describe someone losing their temper. You probably don’t realize, though, that the handle referred to was originally an axe handle. Sometimes the blade of such a tool would be improperly fastened to the handle, and would therefore be sent flying when the axe was being used. • The composer who wrote the famous song “Que Sera, Sera” also wrote the theme song to the 1960s TV show “Mr. Ed.” • Those who study such things say that England’s Elizabeth I owned 3,000 dresses. • If you make a trip to Venice to see the famous canals, keep an eye out for any gondola not painted black. If you see one, you can be sure that it belongs to a high official in the government; they are the only ones permitted by law to have gondolas in any other color. • The world’s single largest consumer of fossil

The Hellsgate Fireflies Auxiliary recently participated in the Food Festival in the Bashas’ parking lot, selling T-shirts, raffle tickets and taking orders for a cookbook entitled “Fireflies Can Cook.” The cookbook will have 378 recipes from members of the auxiliary and other contributors. Remove from microwave, uncover and sprinkle remaining mozzarella over top of lasagna. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese topping melts. Garnish with cilantro if desired. Makes 9 to 12 servings.

CAMPING RECIPES These recipes use hot coals to cook, so don’t try them until the dangers of fire season have vacated the Rim Country. COWBOY BREAKFAST Janet Snyder, Tonto Village 1 can chicken gravy (Franco American is good) 1 can evaporated milk (Carnation is good) 1 roll Jimmy Dean Sausage, crumbled 6 Pillsbury Country Biscuits (premade at home and ready to eat) Small pinch of fennel seeds Ground pepper (to taste) Brown sausage with fennel seeds and pepper in skillet. Add chicken gravy and evaporated milk and bring to a boil, move to lower heat and let simmer 10 to 15 minutes, stirring slowly until thickened. Warm biscuits on griddle or in foil in coals/fire. Once biscuits are warmed, put on plates or in bowls and cover with sausage and gravy mix. This is high in cholesterol and fat, but unless you eat it every day, the bear will get you before this will. Makes six servings.

Just do it, and then get back to the fun times. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) There’s still time for you Ferdinands and Fernandas to relax and sniff the roses. But a major work project looms and soon will demand much of your attention through the 23rd. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your enthusiasm persuades even the toughest doubters to listen to what you’re proposing. But don’t push too hard, or you’ll push them away. Moderate for best results. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels are rising, and you feel you can handle anything the job requires. That’s great. But don’t isolate yourself. Keep your door open to your workplace colleagues. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A workplace change could lead to that promotion you’ve been hoping for. But you’ll have to face some tough competition before the Lion can claim his or her share of the goodies. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your rigidity regarding a difficult workplace situation could be the reason your colleagues aren’t rushing to your assistance. Try being more flexible in your demands. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) That uneasy mood could be your Libran inner voice reminding you that while it’s great to be with your new friends, you need to take care not to ignore your old ones. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A sudden spate of criticism could shake the Scorpion’s usually high sense of self-confidence. Best advice: You made a decision you believed in — now defend it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your reluctance to help restart a stalled relationship could be traced to unresolved doubts about your partner’s honesty. Rely on a trusted friend’s advice. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The capricious Sea Goat is torn between duty and diversion. Best advice: Do both. Tend to your workaday chores, then go out and enjoy your well-earned fun time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Cutting back on some of your activities for a few days helps restore your energy levels. You should be feeling ready to tackle your many projects early next week. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A co-worker might be secretly carping about your work to mutual colleagues. But associates will come to your defense, and the situation will ultimately work to your advantage. BORN THIS WEEK: Your ambition makes you a success at whatever you choose to do — especially if it’s in the world of the performing arts. © 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
