hen Eva Hendrix transferred to Oro Valley after 32 years in California, she and her family didn’t know a soul. Thanks to the referral organization BNI 6 Figure Success, Hendrix has become entrenched in the community. Hendrix and BNI are hosting the free 6 Figure Success fashion show and holiday gift market with 30 vendors from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at The Buttes at Reflections. Food trucks will provide the snacks. Two glasses of wine will be sold for $6, and Mark Willis will entertain. “BNI is a national networking group, and we just launched it here in the Northwest area in May,” said Hendrix, the chapter president. “We’re pretty new and we have about 28 local business owners from the area who are involved. One of them is the nonprofit that we took on, the Oro Valley Rotary Club. At the end of the day, it is a community-based organization. I wanted to support local—not just say it,

Everybody (in the group) is a business owner. It just made sense to pour back into what we love.” Georgina Anderson, the owner of The Buttes at Reflections, is part of BNI. Hendrix said she was gracious in allowing the organization to use her venue. “Usually, you pay the most with venues,” she said. “That’s where you’re paying top dollar. She’s willing to share her venue with us, which allowed us to make this event free. “Her focus is to find people who want to utilize her venue for things other than weddings. This is going to be really good exposure for her. Her
venue can be used for 50th anniversaries, a women’s gathering, maybe the mayor wants to do something here. We want to give the venue exposure so she can have more clients.” The community event is a fundraiser for the Oro Valley Rotary Club and its family and children’s programs, IMPACT and EMERGE.

he Marana Tigers girls’ volleyball team won the 6A South Region championship with a perfect 6-0 mark. For coach Jen Ball, who, in seven years as head of the program has never had a team finish lower than third, it was business as usual. In fact, it has been another characteristically good year for girls’ volleyball across Northwest Tucson. While Amphi, which won its region championship and hosted a state playoff game last year, fell back this season with a young squad, the rest of the Northwest contingent showed out. Flowing Wells finished in the top 24 in the year’s final Power Points ranking, but got bumped from the State Tournament by a Phoenix team that reached the state playoffs on a technicality. Marana Mountain View had a fine season, going 11-6 and advancing to postseason play. (They fell to Williams Field on the road in the first round of the playoffs.) Ironwood Ridge went 14-3 and won the 5A Southern Region title. Some would argue that Canyon Del Oro is the best of them all this year, but it finished second in their respective region after losing two close matches to Salpointe (which, as we all know, doesn’t belong in the 4A). Ball is the daughter-in-law of the legendary Kenny Ball, who was a starting forward on what is considered the greatest boys basketball team in Tucson history, the 1969 Tucson High

WARNING!
PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY AND CHRONIC PAIN TREATMENTS NOT WORKING!! Oro Valley, AZ – When it comes to chronic pain and/ or neuropathy, the most common doctor-prescribed treatment is drugs like Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin. The problem with antidepressants or anti-seizure medications like these is that they offer purely symptomatic relief, as opposed to targeting and treating the root of the problem. Worse, these drugs often trigger an onset of uncomfortable, painful, and sometimes harmful side effects. The only way to effectively treat chronic pain and/or peripheral neuropathy is by targeting the source, which is the result of nerve damage owing to inadequate blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. This often causes weakness, numbness, tingling, pain, and balance problems. A lack of nutrients causes the nerves to degenerate – an insidious and often painful process.
cannot survive, and thus, slowly die. This leads to those painful and frustrating consequences we were talking about earlier, like weakness, numbness, tingling, balance issues, and perhaps even a burning sensation. The drugs your doctor might prescribe will temporarily conceal the problems, putting a “BandAid” over a situation that will only continue to deteriorate without further action. Thankfully, Oro Valley is the birthplace of a brandnew facility that sheds new light on this pressing problem of peripheral neuropathy and chronic pain. The company is trailblazing the medical industry by replacing outdated drugs and symptomatic reprieves with an advanced machine that targets the root of the problem at hand.

The firm conducts background checks and then they bring in three to five candidates to the council for more interviews. When the council finally selects someone, the firm helps negotiate the contract. “It typically takes about four to six months,” Cornelison said. “It can be much longer. I think the last one, we actually had
to do a second round because council ended up not selecting anyone the first (round) so we actually had an interim manager for about 18 months.” Cornelison declined to say if he is going to apply for the permanent position. In the meantime, he understands the importance of service in the job. “People hopefully understand the goal is to always serve the community,” he said. “That’s why we signed up in this profession; that’s for basically all of our staff.”

Of building girls with courage, confidence and character.” There is no age requirement; however, participants must weigh between 100 and 300 pounds due to safety equipment standards. This year makes the seventh year the local Girl Scouts have hosted this event. In November 2021, Over the Edge raised just shy of $100,000. Its highest-grossing year was in 2017 with $105,000. “Last year we were able to bring in $95,000,” Niki Hoffman, GSSOAZ’s chief marketing and fund development officer. “Our hope is $100,000 for this year. Last year was the second-highest grossing year for the event. But it usually generates about $70,000 to $90,000.” Tank said the money includes corporate sponsorships, as well as funds raised by the individual edgers. “We have some individuals, who come

The professional event and rappelling organization, Over the Edge, is hosting the fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the 5151 E. Broadway building. Each participant entered the event by raising $1,000, and all the proceeds go to Girl Scouts-led programs. “The beauty of this event is that it is led by a team of professionals,” MacGyver-Marsha Tank, chief operating officer for the Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona said. “Over the Edge is our partner in this. It’s not just the name of the event, Over the Edge is a company who does these events across the country. They are highly skilled and certified.

Pima Medical Institute dedicates lab to late employee BY TUCSON LOCAL MEDIA STAFF
P
ima Medical Institute’s flagship Tucson campus recently dedicated its Respiratory Therapy Simulation Lab to long-time employee Tammy Redasky, who died in 2020. In addition to her dedication to Pima Medical, she showed an unwavering dedication to her profession and the students whose lives she touched, according to staff. More than 100 people, including family, friends, colleagues and former students, gathered in the campus courtyard to remember Redasky. Throughout the various personal and professional stories that were shared, the theme throughout was focused on Redasky’s positive attitude. She had a way of making everyone she met feel special. Redasky’s many professional achievements included support for student Sputum Bowl and Camp-Not-A-Wheeze. She was a committee member of the Arizona Society for Respiratory Care (AzSRC) from 1987-2020 and in 2017 was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award by the AzSRC. In addition, Redasky coordinated continuing education opportunities with the state of Arizona for more than 30 years. As an additional way to honor her memory, the Tucson campus hosted a continuing education class immediately prior to the dedication ceremony. “Tammy was more than just a member of the faculty here at Pima Medical, she was part of our family,” said Dale Berg, Tucson campus director. “She made a lasting impact on the lives

of so many people in and out of the respiratory community. This lab is a testament to her hard work and her passion. We are grateful to be able to help keep her memory alive with this small gesture.” Redasky’s dedication to ensuring students received the highest quality respiratory education helped lead to a 20-year career at Pima Medical. She was an integral part of the respiratory community and made an enormous impact on those whose lives she touched, Berg said.

The 40th anniversary exhibition, which runs through Jan. 21, features vibrant contemporary new and classic work by renowned glass artists Tom Philabaum, Dan Enwright, Michael Joplin, Carole Perry and Louis Via. “Our 40th anniversary coincides with the United Nations’ International Year of Glass, and so it was fitting that we curate a special show to honor five outstanding glass artists who have helped to elevate the glass movement,” said Alison Harvey, co-owner of Philabaum Glass Gallery. Harvey worked as the gallery’s manager for more than a decade before she and her husband, Dylan, purchased the gallery when Tom Philabaum retired in 2020. The

Tom Philabaum: Widely revered by collectors and his peers, Philabaum started Tucson’s first glassblowing studio in Tucson in 1975 after receiving his MA in glass from the University Wisconsin, Madison, in 1973. He studied under Harvey Littleton, who is considered the father of the American Studio Glass Art Movement. Founder of the gallery, as well as the Sonoran Glass School, Philabaum has been a strong arts advocate in Tucson for over four decades. He is responsible for many series of work throughout his career, including blown, fused, cast, and painted glass. While Phila See PHILABAUM Page 14

Dan Enwright: A Tucson resident, Enwright was an established stained-glass artist before he found his passion for hot glass. He worked alongside Tom Philabaum for more than 20 years. A skilled glass blower, his current mixed media wall pieces incorporate his love for both glass and metal. Dynamic wall art composed of metal treasures and blown glass vases dance with light and movement. Michael Joplin: Joplin studied printmaking before learning how to blow glass

tion, he was very active with the Sonoran Glass School, serving as a board member from inception in 2001 until 2017. After owning several glass studios in Tucson, he joined his wife, Margaret, in making unique glass works using the lost wax method to create public art as well as lighting and other decorative and functional items. Carole Perry: Best known for her stunning glass tapestries, Perry works out of her desert studio in Cave Creek. She “ran after the executive brass ring for 20 years before admitting it could never hold the same sparkle as the art glass.” A strong arts advocate, Perry set aside a successful career in computers to pursue her passion for glass full time. She creates her glass tapestries by fusing fine glass cane before manually contorting the hot fusion into her finished shape. Each one-of-a-kind piece is composed of over 9,000 individual threads of glass. The resultant pieces are mysterious
and reminiscent of old-fashioned ribbon candy or actual fabric. Louis Via: A master glass artist, Via worked alongside Tom Philabaum since the 1970s. His skill and ideas go beyond the Philabaum work, and over the years, he created his own styles, often incorporating blown, cast, fused and painted glass. His current series of sophisticated sculptures features pulled canes of glass that have been hand cut and expertly arranged and fused in a kiln. Via resides in Tucson and continues to create unique glass works.

Roadrunners pave the way for hockey in a basketball town BY REMY MASTEY Cronkite News
T
he sound of skates slashing over ice. The crash of bodies slamming into boards around a rink. The crack of a slap shot. They’re familiar sounds in places like Montreal, Minneapolis, Toronto or Chicago. But this time, they were in Tucson, a desert city better known for the pounding of basketballs than the sounds of hockey players rattling the glass. The sounds of hockey were present at the practice of the Tucson Roadrunners, the Arizona Coyotes minor league affiliate that’s carving out its own space since relocating to town in 2016. “You could hear the buzz in the air,” Tucson Roadrunners coach Steve Potvin said. “There’s a lot of energy in this city.” A basketball city at heart, Tucson has embraced the Roadrunners in their efforts to create a strong hockey culture while expanding the reach of the hometown Coyotes located over 100 miles away. With only a few ice rinks in all of Tempe, a professional hockey team located in the city is a strange sight. But Tucson’s deep basketball roots have not stopped members of the Roadrunners organization from efforts to grow hockey to unexpected heights. “It’s a unique opportunity when you’re in a market that isn’t traditional to hockey in terms of the population that lives there,” Roadrunners strength and conditioning coach Parker Poore said. “I think we have done a good job spreading the word about hockey and getting peo-
The Roadrunners will never compare to University of Arizona basketball’s popularity in Tucson, but the organization engages the city’s hockey community in its own unique way.

We have had a lot of exposure and I think you need to have that because hockey can be a weird sport to approach unless you know what is really going on with it. So to give people a chance to experience and see what it is all about really helps grow it and they have done a really good job of that.” Attendance numbers for Roadrunners games last season at Tucson Convention Center (3,564) are a fraction of UA basketball games at the 14,655-seat Mckale Memorial Center. However, Tucson is less focused on numbers and more concerned with creating an entertaining environment for fans. So far this season, it’s working. Average attendance is up to 4,086. “I think that it gives families and children a fun and safe place to go,” Tucson resident
We want your input! The Town of Oro Valley invites the community to participate in the master planning process for the Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve (formerly known as the Vistoso Golf Course).
Kaylea Rayleigh said. “I think it’s had a huge impact on how active the players have been in the community. It’s been a great addition to our town for both adults and children.” Taking a unique approach has helped the Roadrunners navigate the challenges of playing in a smaller hockey market. The Roadrunners plan theme nights, including Military Appreciation Night, Kids-Free Wednesday, College Night and Faith and Family Night. The Roadrunners are not only looking to build a strong hockey culture in the city of Tucson but a stable foundation for the entire Coyotes organization. “Buying into the culture down here also means buying into the culture up top,” Potvin said. “That is important to us.” Starting at the top, the Roadrunners’ management and coaching staff is tasked with making sure the next generation of young players in the Coyotes system are ready to jump to the NHL when necessary. The Roadrunners entered a new era after the hiring of John Ferguson as general manager in September of 2021. Ferguson has experience as a former NHL player and in the front as the former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager from 2003 to 2008. One of Ferguson’s first orders of business was to promote Potvin as coach of the Roadrunners after he served as an assistant coach since 2017. Now Potvin has the opportunity to create a new identity for the team. “I think right now we are at our peak,” said Roadrunners goalie Ivan Prosvetov. “We have a good coaching group here. I think the whole organization is in a rebuild right now and we are moving in the right
direction. I think that management knows what they are doing. It shows the whole organization is growing.” Potvin has always preached growth and wants to make sure his team is built of players that will put everything on the line to help the team succeed. “Culture is a word that gets thrown out there quite a bit, but culture is literally what we value most,” Potvin said. “So we value high-character players, and we value players that like to compete, and we value guys that are going to be part of a brotherhood and build relationships internally. We want a team that is more than just a hockey team. They’re facing more than just opposition. That, to me, is what we’re looking for and that’s what we’re trying to build.” As part of Potvin’s “culture,” the Roadrunners embrace a friendly competition mentality. While they seem to have fun with each other on the ice, there is a level of chippy and physical playing style that is seldom seen. “We are all brothers,” Roadrunners forward Ben McCartney said. “We are all really close with each other and we really enjoy playing together. Obviously there is going to be a little chippy play in practice, but that is because we care about each other and are trying to push each other every day. I think that is a good way to be as a team.” They may seem like two completely separate teams playing two different sports with two varying levels of interest in the same city, but the Roadrunners and the Wildcats have the same goal in mind: winning over the city.

Athlete of the Week: Kevin Quintero BY TOM DANEHY Tucson Local Media Columnist
E
very time Kevin Quintero walks into Amphi’s cavernous Big Gym, he sees those banners. State runner-up, division champion, over and over again. Then there’s the big poster of that state championship team, the joy of being the
best frozen on their faces forever. With each passing year, the glorious fouryear run that Amphi had a little more than a decade ago fades just a bit, but it remains fresh in the minds of current Panther players. (Amphi had a magical, yet bittersweet, run from 2008-12. Four straight trips to the state championship game that included two losses to cross-town rival Santa Rita, a title in 2011, and then, with a chance to repeat

as champions, a crushing two-point loss to Peoria in the final game of the run.) “Yeah, we see those banners and posters,” Quintero said. “How great that must have been. But we want to start our own run.” Those earlier teams were coached by Ben Hurley, who stepped down after last season to spend more time with his family. After the legendary run, Amphi’s basketball fortunes declined, matching the school’s decline in enrollment. The Panthers had four straight losing seasons in the mid-2010s, but then in 2018-19, they won 20 games and the region championship and got back to state. During the pandemic year of 2020-21, the Panthers did the near impossible. They won the region title but somehow didn’t advance to the state tournament. (The Arizona Interscholastic Association, citing health concerns, severely limited the number of teams advancing to postseason play.) Last year, they fell back to 5-13, but missed having a winning season by a total of 11 points. “We lost a bunch of close games last year,” Quintero recalled. “I remember we lost
our Senior Night game to Walden Grove by one point and that’s how our season ended. I don’t want that for my Senior Night.” The new coach is Ronald Lise, the head of the math department who hails from the Bronx. Quintero liked the generally laidback Hurley, but also like the more-animated Lise. “(Coach Lise) really pushes us on the court and off.” The entire team can be found sitting in Lise’s classroom an hour before the start of school, completing homework and writing assignments. The team works to ensure no one is academically ineligible. They sometimes practice for a couple hours before school so the players can get home early and finish their schoolwork. Quintero plays point guard, which many consider to be the most important position on any basketball team. He is responsible for running the show and had plenty of opportunities to work on his game in the past few months. Amphi hosted a summer league and then played Saturday games at the Sporting Chance Center. But that was all prelude. Now comes the real stuff. “We’re happy to get going,” Quintero said with a purpose. “We want to return Amphi to greatness in Tucson and the state.”

If we only had a defense …
The answer is absolutely not, even if you’re a member of his immediate family. I mean, he’ll be going against the Giant Sieve that is the Wildcat defense, so he’s probably going to throw for eight or nine hundred yards, but we still want the Devils to suffer a most-ignominious defeat. • If Bourget’s alma mater wins out and finishes 9-1 in the regular season, will the Marana Tigers have a home game in the first round of state? The Arizona Interscholastic Association’s Power Point system is so arcane (and its algorithm is so incredibly wrong) that the Tigers could finish 9-1 and not make the state playoffs. At press time, the Tigers held a 7-1 record and a No. 8 spot in the rankings. The thing is, the teams that are ranked Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are also 7-1.

y sainted Italian mother spoke Italian and English in our house when I was growing up. When my friends came over, she spoke only Italian. One day, a bunch of guys stopped by to pick me up so we could go play some ball. They all said hi to her and then she said something in Italian. I laughed (because it was funny) and they all asked me what she had said. I said, “She just said that she hopes you all choke to death on mashed potatoes.” They all went up to her and asked whether that was what she had said. In broken English, she said, “Oh no, Tom, he no understand Italian.” That was exactly what she had said. She was great with words in both languages. She once told me that the biggest word in the English language was “if.” Just as “some” covers everything from one to all, "if " covers an infinite number of possibilities. For example: • If the University of Arizona football defense were the Hoover Dam, the Colorado River would have poured on through and dried up sometime around the mid-1950s. • As a matter of fact, if the UA offense played the UA defense in a keep-thescore scrimmage, Athletic Director Dave Heeke would have to find a couple million bucks to buy a new scoreboard. The Wildcat offense is like the guy who painted all those water lilies. It’s Monet! • If Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray were a lawyer, he would be dazzling in the courtroom. He would make interesting points, ask pertinent questions, and shout “Objection!” in a manner like no other. And then, after his client has lost the case, he would demand to get paid a lot of money to take the appeal, where he would again be can’t-takeyour-eyes-off-him great…and then lose again. • If, as happened this year over last, the Arizona Diamondbacks can improve their win total by 22 games next year, they would still finish 15 games out of first place. That’s ridiculous. • If the United States men’s soccer team can

This is definitely a what coulda’ been season. • If USC and UCLA go through with their greedy (and stupid) move to the Big 10 Conference, should Arizona ever play them again in any sport? Well, yes…IF: Pigs learn to fly; American politics suddenly become civil; and the LA schools come to the realization that regular-season games at Purdue and Nebraska and Rutgers isn’t worth the extra money they’re getting and come crawling back, begging to be let back in the Pac-12. Even then, only maybe.
5th Annual Estate Event @ Golden Goose Thrift Shop
Tuesday, Nov. 15th - Saturday, Nov. 19th Tom Danehy says Kyler Murray would be dazzling in a courtroom. (Arizona Cardinals/Courtesy) beat Wales and Iran in their upcoming World Cup matches and get into the championship round, the average American would still rather watch the Jacksonville Jaguars play against the Carolina Panthers. • If Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving went with some of his like-minded friends to a $5-a-carload drive-in theater, at least two of them would try to hide in the trunk. • If the Pima College men’s soccer team makes it into the national tournament, they would have a chance to play for the national title right here in Tucson. That would be a soccer game worth attending. • If Marana High School graduate Trenton Bourget is starting as quarterback for Arizona State when they travel to Tucson to take on the Arizona Wildcats on Nov. 25, is it OK to root just a little bit for the SunDevils?

Marana News, November 9, 2022
Watch out for this winter’s triple threat BY MIA SMITT
Tucson Local Media Columnist
I
t is still early in the illness season but already we are seeing surges of three worrisome seasonal infections rearing their ugly heads after last year’s unusually light season. The COVID-19 pandemic, despite almost a million deaths from it in the United States, slowed the spread of influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus in 2020 and 2021. We masked, avoided crowds, got vaccinated, and washed our hands after such everyday encounters such as filling our gas tanks and grocery shopping. We did more online shopping. We simply had fewer risks of disease exposure the last two years. Now, we are more lax. Day care centers have reopened, shopping malls are crowded, and people are traveling on planes, trains and buses again. We are going to movie theaters and spending more time in contact with friends and co-workers. The flu season started early in the south and southeast areas of the country. Flu sea-
son generally runs from October to May but cases started appearing in mid-August this year. And thus far, this is the worst season we have experienced in 13 years. According to the Weekly United States Influenza Surveillance report, 880,000 cases have been reported with 6,900 hospitalizations, and 360 deaths. Lynette Brammer, an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stated in a report, “It’s unusual, but we are coming out of an unusual COVID pandemic that has really affected influenza and other respiratory viruses that are circulating.” She also states that this season’s vaccine is well matched against circulating strains. The flu vaccine’s effectiveness has varied in years past from 40% to 60%. But even at 40%, it is certainly better than no vaccine at all. RSV is a common respiratory illness that can resemble the common cold. It is usually a winter or seasonal illness, but case numbers began to arise as early as July and August this year. Many people get it and have no ill effects. But this virus can be very serious in babies, young children and senior citizens. The usual symptoms include coughing, sneezing,
runny nose, fever, and sometimes wheezing. In babies, the illness may present with irritability and difficulties breathing. Most RSV infections will resolve in seven to 14 days, but more severe illness can occur. Bronchiolitis, an inflammation of the smaller airways, and pneumonia, a lung infection, can result from RSV infections. Infants, people with compromised immune systems, and older adults frequently need to be hospitalized when these symptoms arise. According to the CDC, RSV infections result in 58,000 hospitalizations and 100 to 300 deaths in children less than 5 years old. COVID-19 seems to be trending downward for the time being; as of Oct. 20, overall cases have declined by 12% though COVID-19 hospitalizations are up 10% in the U.S. Northeast. This Sars CoV2 virus is elusive and new variants keep appearing. BA.5 is still the dominant strain in the United States at 49% of cases but its latest spinoff, BA.5.2.6 is slowly gaining ground at 2.8%. This one is of particular concern as it appears to be more immune evasive. BQ1 and BQ 1.1 cases are on the rise at 14% and 13.1%. Between Jan-
HEATING
uary of 2020 and October 2022, 31,514 people in Arizona have died from COVID-19 and its complications. COVID-19 continues to be deadly for many people and we should not let our guard down. Flu, RSV and COVID-19 symptoms are often similar. Getting tested assures the correct diagnosis when self care measures and symptom management such as rest, fluids, fever reducers, and over-the-counter pain relief are not enough. We currently have vaccines against influenza and COVID-19 — usually at little to no cost. Researchers are working on a vaccine for RSV but until then vigilance is needed to protect those most vulnerable to disease complications. Prevention is our best ally. Wear a mask in crowded indoor places. Stay away from people who are sick (and anyone with illness symptoms should stay home!). Eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of fluids, and stay physically active to optimize your immune system. Get vaccinated; a sore arm for a day or two is a small price to pay to protect yourself and loved ones. Mia Smitt is a longtime nurse practitioner. She writes a regular column for Tucson Local Media.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It's fantastic to be able to control where you go and love it when you get there. But when you have to be somewhere you don't prefer, that's when it gets interesting. This week brings a chance to become clever, solve problems and develop coping mechanisms. You'll meet good people in unexpected places. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do you really want something or do you just think you want it? Maybe it's too early to tell. Either way, a bit of acting will be involved in this acquisition. You won't know what you can pull off until you try. One theme that runs throughout the week: What you pretend for an extended period of time will become real.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can accomplish much on your own, though sometimes it's better to be part of a team. You'll have choices in this regard. Directing a group can include a lot of extra work you don't need to deal with when you're working solo. Seize the opportunity to experiment with different styles to find your success zone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even though there are many welcoming souls around you, you may still feel like an outsider at times this week. One reason is that there's so much on your mind that you don't quite know how to share. Once you sort it through and accept all the different parts of you, it will be much easier to connect with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll act out of a desire to benefit others, and your eyes will be opened to the opportunities in the situation. You will witness tenderness and give it. Your heart will soften, not just for your main people but for the whole world. You'll be generous with attention, forgiveness and affection.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just because there are obvious issues on this path doesn't mean you're on the wrong one. Every road has features and obstacles, and the problems are a normal part of every life. You'll get the ones that make you better, and you never have to worry about making any more than would naturally occur.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may seek advice knowing full well that each opinion is but one way of looking at things -- each fact, each rule a mere drop in an ocean of information. In the end, you'll be enriched by what others have to say, but you'll follow your gut instinct, which is as good an indication of what to do as any could be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are people who would love to be by your side, cheering you on, though it does take work and time to find them. In the meantime, self-encouragement is a worthy skill to develop. Confidence is a habit, and you welcome the chance to practice positive self-talk and cultivate your strong, can-do attitude.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People go to great lengths to avoid feeling afraid. You can save yourself the trouble by opting to be brave. Working through uncomfortable emotions is a skill that opens your horizons. There's so much more for you to experience when you're not running from the possibility of an unpleasant emotion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Destiny takes no pleasure in tripping us up, though her path is rich with rocky paths. Treacherous stretches are opportunities to be a little more careful or skillful. Stay upright and keep moving forward. The secret to success in both these aims is sturdy shoes and steady company.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll serve the ones you love, and your love is part of what makes you a servant. When you adore a person or believe in an institution, a position of helping is a great joy. Be sure to let others take care of you, too. And if there is a relationship imbalance, it can be righted this week before it becomes a problem.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Pay attention to the way you feel around people. Whether you feel bigger, smaller, funnier, duller or sharper, it's what you're making of their response, not a reflection of who you actually are. Even so, these feelings matter and will sway your decisions. Make efforts to be near those you feel good around.
