“You have earned a place in school history,” Jonathan Fore, EHS principal, told the players after the game. “Englewood has been playing lacrosse for 40 years.

This is the first time a Pirate team has won a league title and it is only the second season a team has had a winning record.”

Englewood started slowly and were leading 4-2 at halftime of the April 21 game. However, the Pirate attack shifted into high gear, scoring seven unanswered goals as the team went on to win the game, 146.

The win elevated Englewood’s record to 9-4 overall and to a 5-0 mark in the Metro 8 conference, one of four conferences in Class 4A boys lacrosse this season.

Englewood had one more league game on the road against Machebeuf after the win over Thomas Jefferson, but the Pirates nailed down the conference title April 21 because their 5-0 record with one game remaining put them over second-place team Denver South, whose 4-1 record featured a loss to Englewood.

At the April 22 gala, Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce’s Board President Jason Whyte presented plaques to a number of individuals and companies as this year’s winners in five categories.

“This is an opportunity to recognize special people and organizations for their contributions and achievements to the city, to the chamber and to the business community,” Whyte said.

Englewood’s chamber invites its members to make nominations in each of the categories.

The categories are Community Organization of the Year, Chamber Member of the Year, Emerging Business, Business of the Year and Lifetime

Business Achievement.

The chamber selects finalists in each category and asks chamber members to vote to select the winner.

Country Buffet was the winner in the Community Organization of the year.

In what may have been a first for the gala the two candidates for Chamber Member of the Year, Nancy Byers and Rosemarie Cabral both received the same number of votes.

“We counted the votes twice and both ladies had the same number of votes,” said Colleen Mello, chamber director. “So we just awarded plaques to both winners in each category.”

There was the same situation in the Lifetime Business Achievement category as Rico Merola of Rico’s Pizzeria and Graciela Corral of El Tepehuan both received the same number of votes it was declared a tie and plaques were presented to both business pioneers.

Other awards including Paul Webster’s Brews on Broadway as Emerging Business of the Year and Jason Colson’s Autolab as the chamber’s Business of the Year.

Aging population in spotlight at retreat For many older citizens, crisis is already at hand

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com About 100 local people gathered on April 17 at the Buck Recreation Center to listen and talk about the “Silver Tsunami,” referring to the increasing needs of older citizens in Littleton in particular, but also throughout the metro area.

The Littleton Community Retreat session began with a video in which kids were asked a series of questions about their perceptions of aging: What will you look like at 75? Will you be working? How will you stay healthy? (“Take walks, take pills, eat broccoli and carrots …”) After a lighthearted start, discussions turned serious, with unmanageable numbers and numerous acronyms.

But the organizing committee, headed by former member of city council Amy Conklin, kept things moving so attendees left with a head full of ideas — in addition to a feeling of frustration.

“One hundred twenty-five years ago, the founders of Littleton envisioned a place for all ages. Today, we try to maintain a place where everyone thrives,” Conklin said as she opened the meeting.

Facts kept coming: By 2030, one in four regional citizens will be over 60.

A Denver Regional Council of Governments overview of regional challenges was presented by Brad Calvert, DRCOG metro vision manager, who works with the next speaker, Jayla Sanchez-Warren, director of the Area Agency on Aging (AAA), which provides advocacy plus services and funding (both in short supply).

There is a focus on living in homes as long as possible, Sanchez-Warren said, which led to discussion about ways to make that easier: remodeling, services delivered in the home, help with transportation (the biggest problem), a network of care, material aid, someone to check in on seniors to see how they are doing and help with things they can no longer do.

“Littleton is fortunate to have a transportation system,” she said. One in five

There is a waiting list for AAA services, with 300 waiting for Meals on Wheels, for example. There is no availability for low-income housing. She gets calls for help daily from displaced or distressed seniors — 400 calls a month this year. A large number of seniors can’t afford private-pay care but don’t qualify for agency assistance. Housing is the number one problem.

Jo Hamit, executive director of South Metro Senior Housing (formerly Littleton Housing Authority), said she oversees rental units of various kinds and a $10 million budget. Her waiting list of 2,250 is closed at the moment as the agency purges it of some who no longer need housing. There are 1,200 units. “We really need affordable and market-rate projects around the light rail stations,” she concluded.

A Lakewood planner talked about that community’s focus on development at each

light rail station on the West Line. “We are actively marketing to developers,” he said.

Alison Joucovsky, senior programs coordinator Jewish Family Service, is working in Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORC). Four versions exist in Edgewater and Wheat Ridge. She builds a partnership of agencies and described a “village model” with neighbors of all ages who recognize seniors’ needs — for rides for example. “Start organizing while younger and well,” she concluded.

Developer Carl Koelbel described what private developers can do with tax credits at a transit-oriented location — Yale Station, for example, and Garden Courts at Yale Station, where residents are given an Eco Pass and public-private partnerships are in order. Koelbel also called for changes in the construction defect law — under consideration in the Legislature — so condos will again be built.

Brad Calvert from DRCOG returned with “A New Focus: the Whole Community” — meaning communities for lifelong living.

Beyond services, communities can facilitate or create barriers to successful aging.

“Age-friendly communities benefit everyone,” he said, saying they promote physical activity, reduce the burden on caregivers and regard older adults as a community resource.

Ideas followed for possible housing changes. Zoning changes would be involved. Examples would be a small home in the back yard or added on to a house, or a house shared by several adults. (Littleton allows no more than two unrelated adults.)

Co-housing is a possibility (Littleton has Highline Crossing), as is a pocket neighborhood, with six to 12 small houses facing a common yard.

There are many possibilities to think about.

Trial tests mental health network Some worry theater shooting testimony could trigger flashbacks, nightmares

By Donna Bryson Associated Press

Pastor Chris Hill’s church has become a place where shooting victims and first responders have found counseling and peace in the years since a masked gunman opened fire on a nearby movie theater.

He and others say there will be a greater need for such havens with James Holmes’ trial getting underway.

Graphic details, kept from the public by a court’s gag order, will surface during testimony, which counselors say could trigger flashbacks, nightmares and other traumatic responses that test the mental health support networks Colorado has tried to strengthen since 12 people were killed and 70 others were wounded during a midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora.

“You can almost feel the community holding its breath,’’ Hill said.

Pierce O’Farrill, shot three times in the attack, anticipates testifying and is bracing. He thought he would die on the the-

ater floor, his face covered with popcorn.

O’Farrill has relied on faith and counseling to get through.

“I’m prepared to feel what I’m feeling and not hide my feelings,’’ he said. “I know what got me in my darkest times was pretending everything was OK.” Holmes’ lawyers have acknowledged their client was the theater shooter, but they say he was in the grips of a psychotic episode. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and his mind state will be at issue during the trial, which will Holmes proceed as planned after a judge on April 23 denied defense attorneys’ longstanding request to move the death penalty case out of Arapahoe County.

Jurors, who will be closest to the grisly photos and testimony, will have access to counseling, but only after the trial, because they can’t discuss the case until then.

The rampage put so much focus on mental health — of Holmes and of his victims — that the state stepped in with a $20 million expansion of services, which included a 24hour hotline and a dozen new drop-in crisis centers, an approach taken by public and private agencies in other states after mass

shootings. Colorado mental health professionals hope to help at-risk people before they turn violent and those dealing with trauma and depression.

Liza Tupa, a behavioral health specialist with the state human services department, said the counseling hotline logged more than 14,000 calls in its first four months.

Tupa is concerned that stigma surrounding mental illnesses keeps people from help, but she has seen progress.

“The tragedy in Aurora created a sense of urgency around the conversation, and more people are coming to the table to talk about mental health,” she said.

People are curious. They want to know how to help.”

Carl Clark, a psychiatrist who heads the Mental Health Center of Denver, has one of the drop-in centers established with the infusion of state money at his facility. He worries the trial will dredge painful memories.

He’s also concerned that mentally ill people will isolate themselves out of fear that coverage will lead others to consider them dangerous.

“How much support would everybody in the community have if it was just OK to talk about it?” Clark asked.

The Aurora Strong Resilience Center, a grassroots response, opened primarily

to support theater shooting victims, and its programs include Bible study, tai chi and massage therapy. The services are free and many were suggested by participants, said Kirsten Anderson, a psychologist who helped develop the center.

Anderson has seen theater shooting victims come together at Aurora Strong with survivors of the 1999 Columbine high school rampage to share their experiences.

“One of the greatest ways to recover and heal is to give back,” Anderson said.

Hill has seen a similar community response through the programs at his 7,000-member church, which is part of the international Potter’s House network.

In the aftermath of the attack, he opened his chapel round-the-clock for anyone who needed a place to pray or reflect, making clear that his two professional counselors and 16 interns would help anyone — not just church members — for free.

Hill said first responders have been particularly receptive, because many are concerned that seeking help through their police or fire departments will lead peers to consider them unfit. He considers therapy to be an essential part of healing.

“I believe in the power of prayer,” Hill said. “But I also believe in the power of counseling.”

Colorado joins GOP’s federal lands effort Associated Press Colorado Republicans are joining GOP colleagues in other Western states trying to exert more control over federal lands.

The state Senate gave preliminary approval last week to a bill giving state and

start,” said Lambert. “All you have to do is go back and look at ... some of the most damaging fires and loss of property in Colorado history to know that we’re not there yet.”

The effort echoes attempts in other states to transfer federal lands. More than a third of Colorado’s land mass — about 24 million acres — is controlled by the federal government.

Democrats and environmental and sportsmen’s groups oppose the transfers as attempts to open more federal land to

“This bill begins the creep of us losing access to our public lands,” said Sen. Kerry Donovan, D-Vail.

State legislatures in Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Wyoming have considered similar measures this year.

Utah in 2012 passed a state law calling on the federal government to transfer federal lands there into state ownership.

Arapahoe deputies using body cameras 10 on traffic team don video devices on daily basis

By Christy Steadman

csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is one of many agencies utilizing body-worn video cameras in policing.

The sheriff’s office’s pilot program for the devices began in 2014, and by September, 10 deputies on the traffic team began to use the devices on a daily basis.

Years ago, the sheriff’s office had a dash camera, a video camera that sits on the dash of a patrol car, for DUI enforcement, Bureau Chief Glenn Thompson said, but that device hasn’t been used since at least the year 2000.

Since then, the sheriff’s office hasn’t had any video-recording devices of any kind.

There wasn’t really a need, and the VHS system required for the dash camera was costly and not very effective, Thompson said.

“Since the body-worn camera technology has become available,” Thompson said, “I think it’s gotten a lot more agencies interested.”

One of the benefits of having the bodyworn video cameras is that it provides officer safety, Thompson said.

“If a suspect knows they’re being videotaped, it may give them second thoughts or pause before assaulting an officer, or taking some sort of violent action,” he said.

Other benefits include having video evidence to help identify and prosecute suspects, and the devices provide law enforcement officers with a level of accountability and professionalism.

“If you have a complaint of rudeness or improper action on the part of the deputy,” Thompson said, “you can review the video and see what it shows.”

The theory is that video evidence may be able to reduce the number of complaints against law enforcement officers, he added.

The cameras are not constantly recording for a deputy’s entire shift. In fact, on average, between the 10 cameras, there is only about an hour and a half of video footage

Along with the benefits, Thompson said, a number of challenges come with the use of the devices.

Besides the cost of the camera, maintenance and replacement, there are data storage, management issues and retention policies. For example, Thompson said, a lot

OBITUARIES VERTNER

Paul Henry Vertner September 18, 1934 - April 23, 2015

Paul Henry Vertner, 80 years old, lost his hard fought battle to cancer on April 23, 2015 in Littleton, Colorado surrounded by his loving family. He was born September 18, 1934, in Solomon, Kansas to Harry & Ella Vertner who preceded him in death. Paul graduated from Solomon High School, Solomon, Kansas in 1952. On June 4, 1954, Paul married the love of his life Roberta Rehberg.

They were married for 58 wonderful years prior to Roberta’s passing in 2013.

Paul owned and operated the Vertner Oil Company in Solomon, KS during the mid-1960’s. He worked as a telephone engineer most of his life and his travels took him to Eastern Kansas, Salem & Portland OR, Gig MOORE Annora “Ann” (Fitzpatrick) Moore

Annora “Ann” (Fitzpatrick) Moore, 86 of Littleton, CO passed away peacefully on April 11, 2015. Cremation has taken place per her wishes and a graveside service will take place at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 30, 2015 at Holy Cross Cemetery in Butte, MT.

Harbor, WA, Billings, MT, and Phoenix, AZ. He enjoyed golfing, playing bridge & pitch, traveling, and entertaining family and friends. He will be missed by his family and all who knew him.

Paul was greatly loved by his children: son, Mike & Rhonda Vertner of Casper, Wyoming, daughter, Lynn Vertner of Las Vegas, Nevada, and son, Bob & Andrea Vertner of Parker, Colorado. Paul loved and

adored his grandchildren: Trisha Vertner of Las Vegas, Nevada, Dawn & Adam Clark of Englewood, Colorado, Mackenzie and Dylan Vertner of Parker, Colorado and Amanda Vertner.

At Paul’s request he will be joined with his angel Roberta thru cremation.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, May 3, 2015 at the Riverwalk Club House located at 2741 West Riverwalk Circle, Littleton, Colorado 80123.

of the videos are high definition, so the files are large. Also, in a homicide investigation, if there is video, the video must be stored and retained forever, he said.

In addition, video recordings are limited in the sense that they cannot display the perception of the officer, the cameras don’t have peripheral vision and record only one field of view. The cameras also cannot record any of the other senses besides visual and auditory.

“It can record sight, and it can record some sound, but it doesn’t have smell or feel,” Thompson said. “You may be recording, but the camera can’t feel the suspect providing resistance. It doesn’t have the tactile feel the deputy does.”

The sheriff’s office is also aware of privacy concerns.

“It’s a matter of developing a good policy and procedure for when we’re using cameras,” Thompson said. “Those issues have to be played out and tested as the body cameras become more prolific.”

However, the entire staff of the Arapahoe

County Sheriff’s Office has to be up-to-date on these policies and procedures, Thompson said, and the deputies who wear the devices also receive additional operating training.

The deputies using the cameras like having them, Thompson said, and they feel they are a benefit.

If the sheriff’s office is to equip the entire patrol unit and traffic team with bodyworn cameras, about 120 devices would need to be purchased. The 10 VIEVU cameras already in use cost the sheriff’s office about $900 each, plus the warranty valued at about $200 for each camera. The sheriff’s office uses its existing storage for the data from the cameras in use, but additional storage would need to be purchased along with the new cameras.

“Once we find a funding source, then we could do a request for proposal,” Thompson said, and the department could also learn about “the different camera models out there to see which ones work best for us.”

Technical foul: Man shoots computer Associated Press For killing the source of his frustration and abandoning the body in an alley, a Colorado man could be considered lucky for just receiving a citation — except his victim was his computer.

The Colorado Springs Gazette reports that 37-year-old Lucas Hinch was slapped with a ticket for discharging a weapon within city limits after he took his computer out-

side and shot it eight times.

Colorado Springs police Lt. Jeff Strossner, who issued the citation, says Hinch told him he had been fighting his computer for months before he decided to exact his revenge. Hinch accepted his citation without problem and told Strossner he did not realize he was breaking the law.

The penalty for the citation will be up to a judge.

Sweating it over a change in weather I am in mourning this morning because the sweater and sweatshirt season is almost over.

I am going to pull over a pullover one more time.

It’s not a new jersey, it’s an old jersey.

I have had it these 11 years.

It’s an olive turtleneck. It covers my aging girth and warms me in more ways than one.

I usually don’t get very sentimental about my clothes.

I know that a lot of people are very interested in fashion, and find out what’s new, learn designers’ names, and want to hear all about the latest colors, fabrics and cuts.

Not me and not at all.

I subscribe to blue jeans. And to old shirts to paint in, and some alma mater sweatshirts.

I have a few long-sleeved, buttondown, Gatsby shirts that get worn when I need to make an appearance, which is seldom.

Suits don’t suit me, but I have one, and it’s good-looking.

Most of the time, I wear comfortable clothes. And seasonally that means sweaters and sweatshirts.

It’s past mid-April, and it’s snowing.

I wore my turtleneck one more time. I had placed it away, and it gave me a stop because I know I am facing months of warmer weather that will turn into infernal days, when my disposition is indisposed.

I bought the sweater at Nordstrom. I

wish I had bought more than one. Five, maybe, in different colors.

They aren’t made anymore, but I have found a few used ones on eBay. That’s not an option.

When I lived in Arizona, I met a ceramist named Minnie, and we became friends.

I hadn’t thought about her in years, until I mentioned used sweaters just now.

Her brother lived in Colorado, and he died.

Minnie flew here for the funeral, and I met her at Stapleton when she was about to fly back to Arizona.

She had something for me in a box.

She gave me a couple of her brother’s sweaters.

I thanked her very much, and then donated them right away without telling her.

Something about wearing a dead man’s sweaters.

My alma mater was the first in the country to turn school branded merchandise into an industry.

You used to be able to buy sweatshirts and T-shirts and decals at college and university bookstores. And that was about it.

Now you can buy anything under the sun with your school’s logo on it. Thanks to my alma mater.

Ohio State’s bookstore sells University of Michigan toilet paper.

I have enough of my alma mater’s sweatshirts to keep all of the Cowsills warm and dry.

You might have an old sweater or an old sweatshirt that has a sentimental meaning to you too.

I know it sounds a little too pleasant and agreeable for someone like me. But I have my moments.

My olive turtleneck is as old as my dog.

Both of them shed.

There have been some very famous sweaters. Lana Turner’s in the 1937 film “They Won’t Forget” earned her the nickname “Sweater Girl.”

A Dutch-born fashion designer you have never heard of named Koos Van Den Akker designed sweaters that you have heard of. The Cosby sweaters.

And of course Mr. Rogers made his zippered cardigans famous. His mother, Nancy Rogers, knitted all of them.

One of them is on display in the Smithsonian Institution.

I love my sweatshirts. Double XL, 100 percent cotton. They become friends, and I don’t like to see them placed away.

And I don’t like to see this time of year end either.

The thought counts, but not that much Is it really the thought that counts? I know many people who make light of a situation where perhaps they forgot to give a card or a gift to celebrate a holiday or special occasion, and they may laughingly say something like, “Well, it’s the thought that counts.”

Or maybe it’s the dream of starting our own company, or beginning to work out, lose weight, stop smoking, or completely and totally pursue a new job or career.

Maybe there is that special someone whom we need to initiate a conversation with where we should ignite or maybe re-ignite that spark of passion. When we fall short of actually doing it, do we once again say, “Well, it’s the thought that counts”?

Let’s take it beyond those scenarios because that excuse has become tired and even cliche as we dance around the fact that we simply forgot the person’s birthday or our parents’ anniversary, or we just didn’t really want to pursue the other changes in our lives. What I am talking about here is the thought that we put into our pursuit of each and every thing that we do or desire to do.

Because it really is the thought that counts.

How often have we been too quick to leap into action, try to solve a problem or fix a situation without carefully thinking through a solid game plan? You know how it goes, we shoot first and ask questions later. We don’t worry about the collateral damage, we will deal with that later

because right now we have to act and act fast.

Of course there are situations that call for snap decisions and quick action.

Things like life-and-death situations or something that can cause harm to others if we don’t act quickly. But what I am really talking about here is taking the time to be really thoughtful about what we do, why we do it, and how we go about getting it done.

The primary reason that people never really achieve their goals or dreams is because they don’t take the time necessary or make the commitment to carefully thinking about all the reasons that they want to pursue their goals and dreams in the first place. And it’s not just about the goals and dreams, we can even see it in the pursuit of a hobby and in the execution of a project or plan at work. I know I can share my own stories of things I have started only to have them left sitting on a shelf waiting for my return.

The reason: Not enough planning, preparing, and thought went into it in the

Pulse Ox newborn screening would save lives I believe protecting our tiniest hearts is one of our most important duties. The state Legislature is currently considering House Bill 1281, sponsored by Rep. Dianne Primavera and Sen. Mary Hodge.

This bill would help babies live longer and fuller lives by ensuring that newborns receive a simple, and non-invasive screening to detect critical congenital heart defects before leaving the hospital, potentially saving lives.

Here is why we should support this bill:

first place.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want you to get so wrapped up in the thought process that you suffer from what is called “paralysis by analysis,” where we overthink things so much that we fail to act on them. What I am referring to is becoming thoughtful and deliberate about everything from our relationships to our jobs, our hobbies and our goals. It is the thought that counts, the amount of time and energy we commit to in our thinking as we seek to accomplish anything we set out to do.

Part-time efforts lead to part-time results. When we go about any activity or pursue any dream and we take a parttime approach, taking shortcuts, and not taking the time to plan, prepare and think through our action plan and objectives, this is when we set ourselves up for disappointment and failure.

It’s the thought that counts. So how about you, do you use the statement as an excuse or do you fully appreciate the meaning and how it can impact your personal and professional success? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we put some serious thought behind what we want to accomplish, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR If it seems too good to be true…

We all have learned to view too-goodto-be-true promotions — the lottery windfall or a free vacation package — with skeptical caution. Such “deals” require scrutiny and rational analysis.

Many seemingly beneficial government “deals” carry less-than-benevolent side-effects, too. For example, millions became eligible for expanded Medicaid benefits through the Affordable Health Care Act. But 1993 federal legislation authorizes states to recoup Medicaid costs from deceased recipients’ estates. When Medicaid recipients had few assets, that law had little effect; now, however, wider eligibility brings more recipients’ estates Letter continues on Page 8

I know all too well the benefit of a Pulse Oximetry screening. I was fortunate that the hospital where I had my son made the decision to perform this screening. Without the critical screening his defect would have not been detected and my son likely would have not lived to see his first birthday.

Pulse Ox is an easy way to save hundreds of families from heartache. With your support of House Bill 1281 we can decrease deaths associated with critical congenital heart defects, and give every Colorado baby the chance at a heart healthy start to life.

Superintendent search narrows School board reviewing applications to select finalists

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Englewood School District received applications from 23 school superintendent candidates and following meetings to evaluate the applications, the school board will meet in executive session May 1 to trim the field to three or four finalists.

The search for a new superintendent was launched in March when current Superintendent Brian Ewert announced he was leaving Englewood to accept the position of superintendent of Littleton Public Schools.

“Our entire search process is being assisted by representatives of the Colorado Association of School Boards,” said Duane Tucker, school board president. “They helped us develop the criteria and post the position. Now that we have the applications, CASB representatives will assist us as we evaluate the candidates.”

Following the announcement of the fi-

nalists the board will hold a “Meet the Candidate” event that is tentatively scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. May 8 at the Maddox Building, 700 W. Mansfield St. The process continues the next day with candidate interviews that will be held at The Englewood Campus, 3800 S. Logan St. The board will conduct interviews as will two or three panels made up of volunteer members of the faculty and community.

The board wants no more than 14 on an interview panel and the board will review the number of volunteers in order to decide whether to establish two or three panels.

The interviews are open to the public

season May 1 at home in a non-conference game against George Washington. Then they will await the seeding to see who they will play in the first round of the 16-team, single elimination Class 4A state tournament. First-round games must be completed by May 6 Teams began playing prep lacrosse in Colorado about 1965 and Englewood fielded a team for the first time 10 year later, which was the first year there was a Colorado High School Lacrosse Association and the first year there was a state tournament.

In the early years, there was one league of about 10 teams, which included lacrosse powers like Cherry Creek, Denver East and Kent Denver, so while Englewood played hard, the Pirates didn’t have a lot of success.

The trend continued even after boys lacrosse was sanctioned by the Colorado High School Activities Association in 2000.

Coach Matt Thomas talked about this year’s success. He said one factor could be that this is the first time the Pirates are in a conference where they can be competitive.

“Experience is another factor in our success, as this is our second season for most of these players and for me as their coach,” Thomas said. “We started a philosophy on offense and defense last year so the players came in to this season familiar with the system. Another plus for us is the stronger

Pirate defender Taylor Rolfe (2) works to turn aside a Thomas Jefferson defender during the April 21 lacrosse game.

Englewood got the offense going in the second half to win the game 14-6 which nailed down the conference title for the Pirates. Photo by Tom Munds youth organization that means freshmen are coming to our team with some lacrosse experience.”

He noted he has a lot of freshmen and sophomores on the team. He said that when the Pirates are ahead like they were April 21, he gets everyone in uniform into the game to give the young players varsity experience.

Thomas said another element contributing to the team’s success this season is that there is more excitement about lacrosse among the athletes, plus strong support from the player’s families.

“We are doing a lot of things together.

For example, we usually have the kids get together to do homework and the parents provide a dinner for us about once a week.

but no comments from the audience will be allowed.

Following the interviews, the school board will meet in executive session to decide which candidate will be offered the contract to become the next superintendent of the Englewood School District. The school board president said the new superintendent could be named as early as May 12.

Ewert’s contract expires June 30 He said that while he will spent some time with the retiring Littleton superintendent, he will remain as Englewood’s superintendent until his contract expires.

We also try to go and help the coaches at the youth practices as often as possible.”

Thomas said. “Overall, the kids are buying into the program and they are having fun, as I feel we are building a sense of community so the kids in the youth program can look at our program and want to come and be a Pirate lacrosse player.”

This year’s team has been strong offensively as they have scored 139 goals in 13 games. There are five players in double figures in goals scored and three in double figures in assists made.

Senior Austin Trail is the team scoring leader with 36 goals and 25 assists. Players earn a point for each goal and assist so Trail now leads the state 4A statistics for total points with 61.

Teammate Caleb Medina has helped his team with 33 goals and 17 assists. ”This has been a great season, and one of the factor is we only had two seniors graduate last year so we all know the system and practice to make it work,” Trail said. “I have had success personally because the other team can’t just focus on me because if they do, Caleb (Medina) is right there to score goals. I look at Caleb as a carbon copy of me. We are strong offensively so anyone on our team can score goals so, if I see a teammate open, I know if I get the ball to him, he can put it in the net.”

The Pirate defense has played well. Kyle Brady has played goalie for 429 minutes this season and has made 109 saves. Sophomore Hernan Dominguez had 97 minutes playing goalie and he has made 22 saves.

Student orators vie for Optimist awards

By Sonya Ellingboe

ysellingboe@colorado

communitymedia.com

e Four polished teenage winners of individual club oratorical competitions faced off in an g annual Optimist Club Zone competition on April 20 at Bemis Library. The two April 20 top winners will go to the regional competition , -April 25 at Belmar Library in Lakewood. Prizes aincluded medals, certificates and checks. t Zone 7 winners were Dhivya Senthil Murugan, a ninth-grader from Rock Canyon High

School in Highlands Ranch, and Scott Spangler, a seventh-grader from Goddard Middle School in Littleton. Third place went to Taylor Griggs of Littleton High School.

Also competing because she had won in the earlier round: Hailey Mattox, a senior at Littleton High School.

Littleton Breakfast Optimists, which meets at the Bistro at Aspen Grove, and a Littleton club that meets at Littleton United Methodist Church held preliminary competitions earlier, naming two winners each. Club members plus parents and grandparents filled the

-

Bemis meeting room for this Zone 7 competition.

Each student throughout the state had the same statement to launch with: “How my optimism will help me to press on to greater achievements in the future.”

There are rules set by the Optimist clubs such as no props or costumes; a limited time; one must include the topic statement; one must cite the source of any quotation used; and one cannot reveal his/her own name or name of their school in the speech.

Regional and state winners will also receive

checks that will presumably go into a college account.

Despite including the same opening statement, each student offered a different message: Hopes for a future in science, examples of how optimism had helped with issues in the past years, interest in exploring the world, and optimism as a tool for conquering anxiety.

Scott Spangler ended: “I am like a koi fish.

They won’t grow in a bowl, but will grow bigger in a pond, proportionately for the environment … I will step out of my comfort zone.”

TABOR : Why it matters and What it means to you Calendar of Events TABOR (Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights) and potential TABOR refunds is the subject of the Tuesday, April 28 meeting of the Chamber’s Business Leaders for Responsible Government (BLRG) committee. This is their second monthly meeting and will be held from 7:30 am – 9:00 am. All members of the South Metro Denver Chamber are welcome to attend. For insight into TABOR and how your personal tax dollars are spent, click here to go to the Colorado Taxpayer Receipt tool.

Speakers will encompass several viewpoints on the controversial amendment, and will include: Former Colorado Representative Todd Saliman will begin the program by providing a brief explanation of TABOR and its history in Colorado, as well as insight into current TABORrelated issues, including potential refunds. Todd serves the University of Colorado as the vice president of budget and finance and chief financial officer for the CU System. He is a former Colorado legislator and former director of the Governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting under Governor Bill Ritter.

Former Colorado House speaker Frank McNulty will provide the second presentation with his perspective on TABOR based on his experience in the Colorado House of Representatives, including the challenges this amendment creates within the legislature.

Last, former Colorado Senator Norma Anderson will provide information regarding pending TABOR litigation at the U.S. Supreme Court in which she is involved, as well as her perspective on the limitations created by the amendment.

This TABOR meeting’s presentations have been coordinated by Michael Sutherland and David Bear, both active members of the BLRG Steering Com-

mittee who have been instrumental in procuring the speakers for this event.

Background: TABOR refers to a 1992 Colorado Constitutional amendment that restricts revenues for all levels of government (state, local and schools).

Under TABOR, state and local governments cannot raise tax rates without voter approval and cannot spend revenues collected under existing tax rates without voter approval if revenues grow faster than the rate of inflation and population growth. Revenue in excess of the TABOR limit, commonly referred to as the “TABOR surplus”, must be refunded to taxpayers, unless voters approve a revenue change as an offset in a referendum.

An easy and informative advocacy opportunity that directly contributes to our Tabor conversation on April 28 was published this morning in the Denver Business Journal: “The Colorado Office of State Planning and Budgeting is hoping a new tool will give taxpayers some insight into [how exactly is your own tax payment being used].

The online tool, called the Taxpayer

Receipt tool, generates a breakdown of where individuals’ tax dollars go based on their age, annual income and how much they drive. It is part of an interactive website called Balancing Act, launched last week in Colorado to give citizens an interactive way to find out where their tax money goes.

Once the numbers are plugged in, the tool shows a breakdown of the way their tax dollars are spread across 30 categories, which include K-12 and higher education, courts, environmental resources, public safety, transportation, even TABOR refund.”

After completion, it also links you to another page where you can recommend each budget be raised or lowered, and advocate for increases or decreases in taxes. According to the site, your submissions will be related to the legislature.

Two artists, two classes Case, Bays to teach sessions in summer

IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com In conjunction with summer gallery exhibits, Parker’s PACE Center is offering two in-depth master classes by a very different pair of visiting artists this summer: G. Russell Case on June 22-25 and Deb Bays Aug. 14-16.

• “Deconstructing the Landscape: Painting on Location” with G. Russell Case: Western painter Case’s class will begin with a presentation on painting out on location. Following a morning in a classroom on the first day (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), the class will head out to a location after lunch and spend two and a half days painting en plein air with Case. (Days two and three: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) On the final day (9 a.m. to noon), the class will meet at the PACE Center for a critique and final discussion Case, a Utah resident, is inspired by nature and paints on site, but does not value realism. His work includes wide, sweeping, idealized visions of the Western landscapes he paints, in different seasons, different light. He focuses on

Both classes will be held at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker. The Case class, June 22-25, costs $475, and the Bays class, Aug. 14-16, costs $300. For information, contact kfletcher@parkeronline.org. To register, visit recreation@parkeronline.org. simplifying, selecting which details he will emphasize, studying spatial relationships.

• “Understanding the Rhythm of Still Life” with Deb Bays: Master pastelist and award-winning still life artist Deb Bays, of Denver, will look at the world of lighting and design to bring a sense of design and movement to the objects one is painting.

A veteran of set and costume design, she studied with artists at the Art Students League of Denver and has won numerous awards nationally and internationally at pastel society competitions.

On day one, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., she will demonstrate technique and show a PowerPoint on successful design. In the afternoon, artists will start with a charcoal drawing, working with values in black and white, and individuals will work with Bays to create their own still life composi-

Day three, 12:30 to 6:30 p.m., artists will work in color, bringing “nature morte” to life. A critique and class discussion will follow.

Reception will honor longtime arts patron Sculptor creates work in memory of Kelly

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com When longtime Littleton Fine Arts Guild member Millie Kelly died in 2012, her family suggested donations to the guild for its Depot Art Gallery in lieu of flowers. A memorial fund was created.

Sculptor Michael Mladjan, who won “Best of Show” last year at the Depot’s All Colorado Show in August, was commissioned to create a work in her honor. Recognizing her lasting love affair with nature, his metal piece, “Millieus,” is a plant form.

Guild members are hoping that artists and others in the community who knew and admired Millie Kelly will attend the reception in her honor.

“Millieus” will be dedicated at a reception on May 3, from 2-4 p.m., at the Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave., Littleton, where it will be placed near the entrance.

Sullivan’s, the LoDo steak house owned

by Texas-based Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, will close May 30 at the end of its lease, according to a story last week on The Denver Business Journal’s website.

The restaurant, popular for its nightly live jazz music in the bar, was a 15-year-old fixture in a historic building on the corner of 17th and Wazee streets.

The hotspot has been a favorite of Rockies fans who stop in for a quick drink and bar bites before and after games at nearby Coors Field.

“We truly value the employees that made Sullivan’s a favorite amongst our appreciated guests and have programs in place to make sure they are taken care of during this time of transition,” Del Frisco’s Group said in a statement to the DBJ. Sullivan’s operates 16 steak houses across the country. The restaurants are owned by parent company Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, which operates a highend restaurant in Greenwood Village and plans to open a more casual Del Frisco’s Grille in Cherry Creek North later this year.

The new location at First Avenue and St. Paul Street will have an 8,000-squarefoot restaurant plus a 9,000-square-foot rooftop and feature a menu that combines classic bar and grill meals at a lower price point that its sister restaurant Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse.

and paint it.

At that time, in celebration of the U.S. Bicentennial, grant money was available for historic preservation, and she and others worked to obtain some of those funds to give a second life to the historic building, which had been languishing in Bega Park.

With help from Varian Ashbaugh and the City of Littleton, it was moved to its present site near the railroad tracks and the landscape around it was planted. Since then, Fine Arts Guild members have operated it as a gallery, while ownership has remained with the City of Littleton, which oversees maintenance. The guild also contributes to maintenance.

Kelly’s special strength was in watercolor, but she also worked in many other media; wood carving, ceramic sculpture, oil painting, silver jewelry, unusual beaded pins, ink drawings, dolls, soft sculptures and more …

She helped organize Depot operations and often volunteered there as well as serving on the Littleton Fine Arts Committee, touching the lives of many local artists and arts lovers.

A recent Facebook post caused a fuss when it said The Cherry Cricket building at 2641 E. Second Ave. is up for sale, but no need to panic.

Wynkoop-Breckenridge LLC real estate holdings, including The Cricket as well as the Wynkoop Brewing Co. at 1634 18th St., are being sold and leased back for 20 years with four five-year options. The existing restaurants will stay put.

It’s just a financial move, according to Wynkoop-Breckenridge honcho Lee Driscoll, who said the company will use the money to pay off debt and subsidize further expansion.

“We hope to enter into a sale leaseback,” Driscoll said. “We sell the building and take back a 20-year lease with four five-year options. This is really a financing transaction, given we will be the tenants for the next 40 years.”

The Wynkoop Brewing Co. was founded

by Gov. John Hickenlooper, who started the brewery after he was laid off from his job as a geologist.

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The Weston Masonic Temple at 5718 S. Rapp St. is a City of Littleton Historic Landmark and, in the manner of historic buildings, demands considerable care and maintenance.

Its owners, local Masons whose group has occupied it since it was built in 1921, recently won a Historic Littleton/Historic Preservation Board Award for their stewardship of the sturdy red

brick building, because of the excellent care it has received year after year.

The Weston Masonic Temple Association Preservation Committee is having a fundraiser dinner and fashion show at the lodge building, set for 4 to 6:30 p.m. on May 2, to help with maintenance costs.

There will be entertainment at 4 and 5:30 p.m. by the Encore Jazz Band, along with a silent auction and a chicken dinner.

The Weston Lodge was chartered and held its first meeting on April 8, 1872, on the second floor of the Julius Hill General Store — a location that was really the center of town then. (Now the Three Chimneys.) The town council met

By 1913, lodge membership grew to 113 and the organization needed new quarters. Members set aside 25 percent of their income each month, and in 1920, member Ivy Hunt donated the land on Rapp Street.

Youths learn to act, make movies

South-metro classes return for summer fun

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Julie Pearson, whose business is contract media production, teaches how-to classes in filmmaking/acting for kids ages 9-12 in the summer.

Last year, she taught in Highlands Ranch, where she lives.

For summer 2015, there will be two filmmaking/acting camps at Southridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch (June 2226 and July 27-31); one at South Suburban’s Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial (June 8-12) and another at South Suburban’s Buck Recreation Center in Littleton (July 1317). Each will follow a similar format. The Premiere Party will be on the last day of class for each session.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION Each filmmaking/acting session costs $220 for a district resident of Highlands Ranch or South Suburban.

Register online: ssprd.org or hrcaonline.org.

“On the first day, we talk about the process and pool ideas. They sometimes come with ideas of zombies and really wild, far-out features,” Pearson said. “I then go home and write a script that includes everyone’s idea. I don’t use any script twice … This summer, we will concentrate a little more on acting and improv games, moving games — they’re really fun.”

“At the end, they learn how really hard it is to make a good movie. The motto is keep it simple and succeed — KISSl” They learn about storytelling structure and hands-on camera technique as well as improvisation.

Usually kids are thrilled with a script that includes their ideas, Pearson said. If there’s a

problem, she may do a rewrite.

“On Thursday night, I’m up all night editing, and on Friday, we do a `Red Carpet Premiere’ for parents and families,” she said. “The kids never forget it. They rehearse, learn lines, take turns as crew, as director, as cast member.”

She says she teaches: “It’s not what you look at — it’s what you see — through the camera lens.” She has a couple of apps she can share that show scary things coming at you — a firebreathing dragon for instance. (Examples are at youtube.com/user/juliefilmmakingkids?fe ature=mhee.)

The kids do five or six two-minute pieces to show to their audience.

The filmmaking skills can transfer into school work, Pearson said. Her own kids substituted a filmed book story for a written book report.

Pearson has taught for the Highlands Ranch Community Association for three years, and she said this series of summer camps will emphasize acting more.

Review: ‘Age of Ultron’ is an Avengers overdose

By Jake Coyle

Associated Press It will surely stand as one of the most peculiar and possibly ironic entries in a director’s filmography that in between Joss Whedon’s two “Avengers” films there reads “Much Ado About Nothing”: a low-budget, black-and-white Shakespeare adaption sandwiched between two of the most gargantuan blockbusters ever made.

In “Avengers: Age of Ultron,’’ there is definitely aplenty ado-ing. Too much, certainly, but then again, we come to the Avengers for their clown-car excess of superheroes, their colorful coterie of capes.

What binds Whedon’s spectacles with his Shakespeare are the quips, which sail in iambic pentameter in one and zigzag between explosions in the others. The original 2012 “Avengers” should have had more of them, and there’s even less room in the

massive — and massively overstuffed — sequel for Whedon’s dry, self-referential wit.

As a sequel, “Age of Ultron” pushes further into emotionality and complexity, adding up to a full but not particularly satisfying meal of franchise building, and leaving only a bread-crumb trail of Whedon’s banter to follow through the rubble.

The action starts predictably with the Avengers assaulting a remote HYDRA base in the fictional Eastern European republic of Sokovia. They are a weaving force: Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Chris Evans’s Captain America, Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye.

Their powers are as various (supernatural, technological, mythological) as their flaws (Iron Man’s narcissism, the Hulk’s rage, the Black Widow’s regrets). Downey’s glib Tony Stark/Iron Man is the lead-singer equivalent of this super group and, I sus-

pect, the one Whedon likes writing for the most. “I’ve had a long day,” he sighs. “Eugene O’Neill long.”

What the film has going for it, as such references prove, is a sense of fun, a lack of self-seriousness that persists even when things start going kablooey — something not always evident in other faux-serious superhero films.

In Sokovia, they encounter duplicitous twins: the quick-footed Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and the mystical Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). The real villain, though, is the titular Ultron, an artificial intelligence that the Scarlet Witch slyly leads Stark to create, birthing not the global protection system he hopes, but a maniacal Frankenstein born, thankfully, with some of his creator’s drollness.

Ultron (James Spader) builds himself a muscular metallic body and begins amassing a robot army to rid the planet of human

life. Spader plays Ultron, who is too similar to other mechanical monsters to equal Tom Hiddleston’s great Loki, the nemesis of the last “Avengers” film. But Spader’s jocular menace adds plenty. He wickedly hums Pinocchio melodies: “There are no strings on me.’’

But the drama of “Age of Ultron” lies only partly in the battle with Ultron. The film is really focused on the fraying dysfunction of the Avengers and their existential quandaries as proficient killers now untethered from the dismantled S.H.I.E.L.D. agency.

There’s not a wrong note in the cast; just about anything with the likes of Spader, Ruffalo, Johansson, Hemsworth and Downey can’t help but entertain. But the dive into the vulnerability of the Avengers doesn’t add much depth (is the home life of an arrow slinger named Hawkeye important?)

SPORTS Warriors top local teams at Liberty Bell

The Independent | The Herald 19

April 30, 2015

Entries from 57 schools competed in Littleton

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Placing in the top six in an event and earning team points proved a major challenge since more than 1,000 athletes took part in the events at the Liberty Bell Invitational Track and Field Meet at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

The stadium floor became a riot of colors as uniformed athletes warmed up and competed April 24 and 25.

Fort Collins won the girls division team title with 84 points. Arapahoe finished fourth with 38 points, and Heritage was 33rd with six points.

The team total for the Warriors got a boost as Arapahoe’s Julia Hall took first place in the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter run.

She also joined forces with Hannah Carlson, Emma Landen and Sarah Slack to win the 4 x 200-meter relay and the same team won the 4 x 400 relay.

Fountain Fort Carson won the team title in the boys division with 94 points. Arapahoe was eighth with 31 points, Heritage finished 1oth with 26 points and Littleton was 11th with 25 points.

Chris Delaney won the shot put event for Arapahoe with a throw of 52 feet, 4 inches while Austin Lienemann was third in the 300-meter hurdles.

Littleton’s Noah Mcghee was second in the finals of the 100-meter dash and Littleton’s re-

Arapahoe 4 x 200 relay team member Nick Fisher passes the baton to Ray Haas during one of the event heat races at the April 25 Liberty Bell Invitational Track Meet. The Warriors time of 1:34.78 placed them 13th in the field of 25 relay teams. Photos by Tom Munds lay teams took fourth in the 4 x 100 and the 4 x 200 events.

The Eagles team point total was boosted by a second place finish in the shot put by Weston Gardner and a fourth place finish by the Heritage 4 x 400-meter relay team.

Hugo Ogilvie competed in the triple jump for Littleton.

“I started competing in pole vault because dad did it,” he said. “Then I tried the jumps and found I really liked them. I only started doing triple jump a couple weeks ago because

we needed someone to compete in the event.

So my goal is to do well and try to set a personal best distance with every jump.”

Heritage tack coaches Brian Runyon and Jill McCormick were directors for the Liberty Bell meet.

“It takes a lot of time plus a lot of help from our more than 45 adults and from all the kids from our school helping with the event,” Runyon said. “I think the biggest challenge is organizing all the logistics so every thing moves smoothly.”

Littleton’s Noah McGhee drives toward the finish line in the finals of the 100-meter dash at the April 25 Liberty Bell Invitational Track Meet. McGhee took runner-up honors in event, earning points to help the Lions finish 11th among the 57 schools in the team standings.

McCormick agreed.

“Being a meet director for an event like this presents a lot of challenges but it is made easier by all those who pitch in to help us,” she said. “I understand the Liberty Bell has grown in size and the number of schools participating. I think that is because this is a good time of year for a meet like this. We try to make sure all the activities run smoothly and just hope for good weather like we have today.”

Littleton’s fearsome foursome look for wins Playoffs not out of the question for the Lions

By Scott Stocker

Special to Colorado Community Media It’s been an up-and-down season, to date, for the Littleton baseball team. The players and their coach want it to end on a high note.

Littleton currently carries an 8-8 overall record and is 3-4 in the 4A Jefferson County League. The Lions, coached by Micah Bernhardt, have scored 105 runs while allowing 134. Their biggest victory came against Valor Christian, 17-7, while their biggest loss was to top-ranked D’Evelyn, 17-0.

“We’ve played a lot of good teams with a lot of quality players,” Bernhardt said. “And, it’s been the quality teams that have beat us. We’ve been able to show up and we’ve had some good production from the boys, despite our losses.”

Littleton began the season with three straight wins against Rangeview, Vista Peak and Palmer. Then came the Lions’ first loss to Heritage, before they began a trip to Arizona.

Littleton lost its first two games to their out-of-state Glendale foes, Kellis and Copper Canyon High Schools, before a win against Moon Valley, out of Phoenix.

Helping to lead the way for Littleton this season has been the foursome of senior Joey Drennan, juniors Christian Corah and Daylan Nickless and sophomore Jarrod Dreiling.

“Christian is our special designated hitter and a pitcher,” Bernhardt said. “He’s our leadoff hitter and he has been phenomenal. He has those great at-bats for us and he just goes out and does his part.”

Littleton shortstop Scott Robb (20) makes a throw to first base during warmups for a game in March. File photo Corah was well pleased with the way the season got underway.

“It has been a pretty good season and there is a lot of interaction among us,” Corah said. “We have good leadership and that’s helped all of us focus on what we need to accomplish.

Our confidence has helped us play a lot better.”

First baseman Drennan has been a leader this season among the seniors.

“He’s a quality batter and he is our power guy,” Bernhardt said. “He just does a good job putting the ball in play. He’s not always going to hit the home run, but he just seems to be good at placing the ball and getting it into play.”

That’s just what Drennan strives to do.

“This is our first year in 4A and our goal is to make the playoffs,” Drennan said. “We just want to stay focused and we’re trying to get to the playoffs. Most of us are multiple sport athletes and that’s helped us.”

Nickless, a shortstop and pitcher, has come around strong for Littleton, much to the liking of his coach.

“He just works hard to succeed and he makes us better. He is a kid that can also go out and lead,” Bernhardt said.

Nickless also feels that Littleton is not out of the playoff picture, yet.

“We’ve got a good chance to reach the playoffs, and we’ve done a lot better this season than the past few,” Nickless said.

We had a good trip to Arizona, and it was the first time in four seasons that we’ve been able to win a game there.”

While only a sophomore, Dreiling, catcher for Littleton, has had a fine season to date.

“Jarrod has been a force for us and he has learned a lot on the fly this season,” Bernhardt said. “He is our second-best hitter right now, and he just wants to put the ball in play.”

The first season on the varsity has been emotionally uplifting for Dreiling.

“It’s been an awesome first year for me and I just hope to be a leader on and off the field,” Dreiling said. “I think we’ve got a close knit group of guys. We hang out together and that’s helped us to build a strong unit. I like to bring energy, have fun and not stress out about everything. A lot of good stuff is helping us to have a good time this season.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 27, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You still might have to deal with some lingering confusion that marked a recent workplace situation. But for the most part, you should now be well on your way to your next project.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new commitment might demand more time than you’d expected to have to give it. But rely on that special Bovine gift for patience, and stick with it. You’ll be glad you did.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re earning the admiration of a lot of people who like the way you handle yourself when your views are on the line. Even one or two of your detractors are being won over.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking your responsibilities seriously is what you do. But ease up on the pressure gauge, and make time for much needed R & R. Start by making this weekend a “just for fun” time zone.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some recently uncovered information might make a change of plans inevitable.

If so, deal with it as quickly as possible, and then find out what went wrong and why. What you learn might surprise you.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Aspects favor moving carefully and deliberately when making any significant changes. Could be there are more facts you need to know, which you might overlook if you rush things.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A problem neighbor might be looking to goad you into an action you don’t want to take. Ask someone you both respect if he or she would act as an impartial arbitrator for both of you.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A recent workplace accomplishment hasn’t been overlooked by those who watch these things. Meanwhile, start making travel plans for that much-too-long-deferred trip with someone special.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Those money matters continue to move in your favor.

Now would be a good time to start putting some money back into the house, both for esthetic as well as economic reasons.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A changing workplace environment can create job pressures.

But, once again, follow the example of your birth sign and take things a step at a time, like the sure-footed Goat you are.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Cheer up.

You could soon have the funds you need for your worthy project. Your generous gifts of time and effort are well known, and someone might decide it’s time to join with you.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your inner scamcatcher is right on target, and you’re absolutely right to reject that “too good to be true” offer. Meanwhile, something positive should be making its way to you.
