Notes from the O’Colly crime desk Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k

March 12: REPORTED VANDALISM AT SIGMA CHI Just after 11 a.m., Stillwater police responded to a vandalism complaint at Sigma Chi Fraternity, 1101 W. University Ave. At the house, a man, whose name was redacted from the police report, told police he arrived for routine scheduled maintenance on the house and noticed that some rooms felt “warmer than he expected,” according to a report from the Stillwater Police Department. Upon further inspection, the man found electrical wires to exterior air units had been cut. The cuts looked to be more than a few weeks old, the report states. The man told police the remaining wiring would need to be pulled and reinstalled because of the way in which the wires were cut. The job is estimated to

cost $1,500, the report states. The case is suspended until a suspect is identified. MORE THAN $600 IN ICE CREAM TOPPINGS SENT TO KERR HALL The East Lampeter Police Department in Lancaster, Pennsylvania reported that an individual sent $653 worth of ice cream toppings to a residence in Kerr Hall, according to a police report from OSUPD. The toppings were purchased with a flagrantly used credit card, the report states. March 26: STILLWATER MAN ARRESTED, CHARGED FOR ROBBERY AND STABBING Stillwater police arrested Erick Dawayne Harrison Hagler, 22, for the robbery and stabbing of a 67-yearold man March 14. Hagler appeared in person before the Payne County Court from Payne County Jail without counsel March 27. Hagler was

charged with one count of robbery in the first degree and assault and battery with a deadly weapon. His bond was set for $250,000. On March 14, just before 8 p.m., SPD responded to a reported stabbing near 1800 S. Fern St. and found victim David Holba, who had been assaulted and stabbed multiple times, according to a media release from SPD. Witnesses, who identified Hagler as the victim’s attacker from a photo lineup, told officers the suspect struck Holba in the head with a glass liquor bottle and then stabbed him three times in the lower abdomen with the broken bottle, according to the affidavit. Police said Hagler demanded money and Holba’s cell phone. An altercation took place between Holba and Hagler as Hagler tried to take the victim’s cell phone, the affidavit states. Hagler reportedly fled the scene in a dark gray four-door car along with another man, Treyvon Johnson, who was driving the car, the affidavit states. The driver has not been

charged. Holba was taken to OU Medical Center for treatment. He received three stab wounds to his lower abdomen, which caused seven punctures to his intestines, the affidavit states. Hagler pleaded guilty to feloniously pointing a firearm, knowingly concealing stolen property, possession of marijuana, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, obstructing an officer, domestic abuse assault and battery, domestic assault and battery, assault and battery and three counts of threats to kill Feb. 27, according to Oklahoma State Courts Network. Hagler was sentenced to 16 years in custody and ordered to pay $625 in fines. Up Next

March 27: OSU STUDENT CHARGED WITH UNLAWFUL DELIVERY OF ACID Payne County Court charged Khurram Karim Makhani, 18, with unlawful delivery of a controlled dangerous substance, lysergic acid diethylamide, unlawful possession of lysergic acid diethylamide and marijuana with intent to distribute within 2,000 feet of a school and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia March 27. Makhani reportedly delivered and distributed lysergic acid diethylamide Feb. 2, according to court documents. On Feb. 27, at about 2:15 p.m., Oklahoma State police were dispatched to investigate a suspicious odor in a residence in Kerr Hall, according to the affidavit. The faint smell of marijuana could be detected from the outside of the room, the affidavit states. Officers found 39 grams

of “green leafy substance,” two glass smoking devices, a black grinder containing a “green leafy substance,” two clear plastic containers with a small amount of “green leafy substance,” and $302 belonging to Makhani in his backpack. Digital scales were found in Makhani’s possession as well, according to the initial filing document. Makhani was arrested and booked at Payne County Jail. He posted his $10,000 bond Feb. 28. If convicted of all three counts, Makhani could serve a minimum of 21 years and/or pay a maximum fine of $401,000.

SGA Presidential Candidates: Kyle Hilbert Stetson Payne @Stetson__Payne

In the eighth grade, Kyle Hilbert began his involvement with the Future Farmers of America — an experience he said crafted his desire to study at Oklahoma State. Now heading into his final year at OSU before going to law school, Hilbert is running for Student Government Association President simply to leave OSU better than it was when he arrived three years ago. Hilbert is from Depew, a small town along the Interstate 44 corridor southwest of Tulsa. Hilbert said

he looks up to his older brother, Kreg, because of how his brother conducted himself in high school and in his own family. “Growing up, it was inspiring seeing how everyone at Depew High School looked up to him,” Hilbert said. “Today, I look up to him because of the love he shows for his wife and his daughter. “I hope to one day be as good of a husband and father as he is for his family.” During high school, Hilbert was involved with his local Future Farmers of America chapter. Hilbert came to Oklahoma State for a degree in agribusiness building on his experiences from FFA in Depew. “Through exhibit-

ing livestock and public speaking in the FFA, I developed a passion for

the agricultural industry,” Hilbert said. “It was this passion for agriculture that

brought me to Stillwater and particularly to the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources pursuing a degree in agribusiness.” His presence in CASNR soon garnered the attention of the CASNR Student Council to fill its vacant SGA senate seat during Hilbert’s sophomore year. From the senate, he learned the inner workings of SGA and how it affected student organizations. Hilbert said he wants to promote OSU tradition as president, emphasizing that OSU is more than just athletics. “Not that athletics are bad by any means, but what is it that the student

body truly rallies behind besides sports?” Hilbert said. Hilbert plans to partner with the OSU Alumni Association to work on the Cowboy Legend project. Cowboy Legend is a book that will be distributed to incoming freshmen that outlines traditions for new students to participate in. “This could be a great partnership for SGA to help market this traditions book and app to non-freshman students,” Hilbert said. Above the rest of his platform, Hilbert said his priority is leaving OSU better than when he arrived. For the full story, visit ocolly.com/news

SGA Presidential Candidates: Chance Imhoff Stetson Payne @Stetson__Payne

Chance Imhoff doesn’t just want to be Student Government Association President. He wants to be an ambassador on behalf of every student on campus. Imhoff grew up as a fifth-generation farmer from Prague, 50 miles east of Oklahoma City. He said Oklahoma State’s agriculture program and sense of family brought him to OSU. “I was attracted to OSU by its rich agricultural background and the sense of family that I felt when visiting campus,” Imhoff

said. “Now as a business student, I love the passion with which OSU students pursue their interests and the opportunities that OSU provides.” Imhoff said his father is his role model, for how he “exemplifies the American Dream.” “His hard work and strong family values are what made him both a successful small business owner and a great husband and father,” Imhoff said. “He is undoubtedly responsible for the values I hold and for the man I am today.” After arriving on campus in 2013, Imhoff quickly found his way to Freshman Representative Council. FRC serves as a way for freshmen to get involved

with SGA, offering internships with SGA leadership to gain experience in student government. During his time in FRC, Imhoff implemented a program using leftover meal plan money to provide items for families in need,

called “Helping Hands and Meal Plans”. After a year in FRC and working on Matt Chuning and Charlie Gibson’s presidential campaign, Imhoff became their external chief of staff and has worked with local and national

O’COLLY

legislators. Imhoff attributes this time as a part of the campaign to why he decided to run for office. “I began to understand the ins and outs of SGA,” Imhoff said. “(I) saw the great potential to implement real change on campus and start the conversation about the big issues facing OSU. “I see the role of president as an ambassador for OSU students on a university and state level and as a way to set real change in motion.” Imhoff wants a bigger branding campaign for SGA in an effort to see more students participate in SGA and is supportive of collaborative work with the Residence Hall As-

sociation and International Student Organization. “We would also like to implement a talent search program that will find all interested students, particularly incoming freshmen, a home in SGA,” Imhoff said. Imhoff and his running mate, Jacquelyn Lane, support diversity training on campus, along with extended student service hours at the Colvin Center and dining options. After finishing his degree at OSU, Imhoff plans to pursue an MBA and eventually start his own business. SGA presidential elections will take place from April 7-8. news@ocolly.com

Shoe Bank, a Stillwater staple, to close in May By JERIMY SHERIN

A door swings open as a chime announces the entrance of yet another customer to the store. Boxes lie open with their lids scattered elsewhere, and tissue paper litters the floor like the remains of opened birthday presents. Customers and employees chat like old friends. Some laugh, some hug and some cry. This is Shoe Bank, and after 34 years in business, it is tying up its laces for the last time. The store, located at 603 N. Perkins Road, first opened its doors in Stillwater in 1988. It will close them for the final time when its lease expires in May. David Swain and his wife Jana opened their first shoe store in Cushing in June 1981. But just like a child outgrowing a pair of shoes, Shoe Bank outgrew its first location, and a new location was sought out. The Swains found the perfect spot in Stillwater at Pioneer Square and moved their entire inventory in 1988. They’ve been there ever since. “We expanded from 2,000 square feet to 5,700, then to 7,700 square feet at our present time,” David said. Another store, located in Sapulpa, was also opened, but it closed in 1992. Through the highs and lows of business, the Swains “just kept expanding and enjoying success in Stillwater.” “We feel very fortunate to have been in business during this time,” David said. Oklahoma State University students back in 1970, David Swain was just a sophomore, majoring in Organizational Analysis

David and Jana Swain opened Shoe Bank at its current location in 1988. They plan to retire to Tulsa when the store closes.

through the business school. Jana, also a sophomore, was a Kappa Alpha Theta majoring in Clothing, Textiles and Merchandising. They began dating their junior year. David and Jana married in 1972, between semesters, and eventually decided to start their own business in 1981. They combined David’s training in business with Jana’s merchandising knowledge and created Shoe Barn, Shoe Bank’s predecessor. The Swains’ business began to grow steadily. The pace of expansion soon equaled the pace of learning business, and the Swains

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2015

were operating two stores — one in Stillwater and one in Sapulpa — at once. Over the course of 34 years, David estimates more than 500 students have been employed at the Shoe Bank. “The university keeps Stillwater vibrant and progressive,” David said. Camden Means, who has worked at Shoe Bank since 2013, said the store feels like a second family. “I’ve made some of my best friends working there, so I’ve loved getting to know them, and I’ll really miss seeing them all the time,” Means said. “It’s the best job I’ve ever had.”

Means, who will graduate in May from OSU with a bachelor’s degree in strategic communications, said the Swains deserve all of the credit for the success of the store. “David and Jana Swain are two of the kindest and smartest people I know, and they created a brand that the Stillwater community (and more) really grew to depend on,” Means said. “I can’t tell you how many times people would say they had traveled to shop there or that they only buy their shoes from the Shoe Bank.” Along the way, they continued learning and

O’COLLY

working, expanding their business and adapting with the changing styles of the time. “We have great customers who have become friends and will miss seeing them,” David said. Eventually, all things must change, and that includes how business is done these days. David noted more stringent banking regulations and vendors selling directly to their customers as some of the more difficult changes to deal with in recent years. Leaving their employees, however, may be the hardest change they’ll face.

“Keeping up with former employees is a joy, especially when they have been successful,” David said. “We will miss them.” Shoe Bank is currently holding a “Retirement Sale” from now until the end of May, or until all of the shoes are gone, whichever comes first. “People keep asking us ‘How long is it going to last?’ Well, the more you buy, the less time it’s going to take us,” David said. A lot has changed since the Swains started their business back in 1981. Most homes then didn’t have a computer, cable channel MTV was shown for the first time and Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, wouldn’t be born for another three years. In that time, the Swains have seen their business grow to become a Stillwater staple of local business. “We always thought that the reason for the success we had was hard work and a willingness to change with the times,” David said. The Swains celebrated 43 years of marriage this year. If you ask how they’ve been able to make it work, their answers could apply just as easily to business as it does to marriage. “Work together,” Jana said. “Learn how to say ‘Yes, ma’am,’” David said. The slogan of the Shoe Bank is “If the shoe fits, buy it!” Once all of the shoes have been bought, the Swains plan to wear out their most comfortable pairs in retirement in Tulsa. news@ocolly.com PAGE 5

OSU expanding its severe weather shelters, Stillwater always on alert Storm Shelters at OSU-Stillwater campus

Last week, Oklahomans turned on their local TV stations to see tornadoes tear through the suburbs of Oklahoma’s largest cities. Severe storms and two tornadoes hit Moore and Sand Springs, doing significant damage and killing at least four people. At Oklahoma’s two largest colleges, plans are in place to keep students safe during storm season. In Norman, the University of Oklahoma is constructing a campus-wide shelter project to protect about 4,000 students, faculty and staff in the event a dangerous storm hits campus. These are in addition to previously designated safe areas and will serve as standalone shelters. The $12 million project is financed by state allocations to higher education for architectural and building expansion. Plans were also revised at OU for “Particularly

Dangerous Situation” days designated in advance by the National Weather Service. These new plans permit OU to let out class early to allow people on campus to get to their loved ones on PDS days. In Stillwater, OSU is constructing basements to serve as shelters in new buildings on campus, such as the University Commons, the new business building and the new Physical Plant building. OSU Communications director Gary Shutt said these will be in addition to buildings on OSU’s safe refuge list, which all have

basements. “In addition to that, the dining facility at the University Commons has a basement,” Shutt said. “And it will hold around 1,000 people. The new Physical Plant facility will have a basement, and it will hold at least 1,000. “We feel like the most effective way to provide refuge and shelter is to build basements in these new buildings.” The new business building’s basement will also hold an additional 4,000 people, Shutt said. On a city level, Stillwater

Emergency Management would coordinate warning the public ahead of the storm. Stillwater Emergency Management Director Kirk Mittelstet said ideally his office would take action 10-15 minutes before the storm hits. “It’s not after a storm hits that we go to work, it’s before the storm hits,” Mittelstet said. “Before the (tornado) watch comes out, we’re already here working.” Mittelset’s office would coordinate the city’s response to any natural disaster, serving as both a coordinator and first

responder to affected areas. In the event that Stillwater is hit, community leaders would activate the Emergency Operations Center to coordinate the response. Stillwater Medical Center would also assist in treating injuries. Steven Taylor, vice president of support services for Stillwater Medical Center, said the facility has procedures for severe weather in place. “If there is a severe weather event in Payne County and sirens are blown, we implement Code Black procedures,” Taylor said. “These procedures

would include setting up our command post, evacuating patients to the basement and moving everyone to the center most part of the building away from close and other potentially flying debris. “Once the all-clear has been received from local emergency management, we would decide whether or not we need to prepare for an influx of patients based on what has occurred throughout the community.” A worst-case scenario would be a direct hit on the medical center itself, which happened during the Joplin, Missouri, tornado nearly four years ago and in the 2013 Moore tornado. Taylor said there are contingencies in place. “In the event Stillwater Medical Center took a direct hit and we determined the facility or portions of the facility were unsafe, we have alternate care sites set up that we could evacuate patients to, if needed,” Taylor said.

Dough Pokes to open food truck Zach Collums @zachcollums

Donuts on wheels will soon be a reality for Stillwater. Dough Pokes, which quickly became popular for its gourmet donuts after opening last summer, closed its store March 14 but plans to keep its donuts in Stillwater. When the restaurant reopens, it will serve its donuts from a food truck. Brad Essary, who opened Dough Pokes and owns Red Rock Café, said he envisioned Dough Pokes to bring something different to the donut

scene in Stillwater. “Dough Pokes was a kind of a vision of gourmet donuts and really trying to kick it up a notch and do something that we hadn’t seen a lot of in this area,” Essary said. The donut shop was quickly popular for its unique combinations of donuts and donut toppings. The popularity didn’t help with the cost of running a store on The Strip, though. Essary said closing the store and opening a food truck has many benefits for the business. “It’s a lot cheaper to run a food truck than it is to run a brick and mortar building,” Essary said. “It

gives an opportunity to keep the brand alive and keep giving people the things that they really enjoyed and try something new at the same time.” Customers will get the same experience of choosing from the many donut combinations. Essay said he plans to keep the whole line of donuts from the store on the food truck. Dough Pokes’ move into the food truck scene, which Essary said is planned to happen in the next four to six weeks, is another benefit of taking the business mobile. Essary said the food truck scene in Stillwater is supportive of each other

because it benefits each business. “The unique thing about the food truck scene is that it’s a game where everybody wins when everybody plays,” Essary said. “The food trucks in this town are really good at not viewing each other as competition. The more they can get together at any one time, the better.” Essary said he hopes people will look for what Dough Pokes brings to Stillwater. “Hopefully, they appreciate a really quality donut that’s different and that they’ll seek out the truck to find it,” Essary said. news@ocolly.com

COURTESY OF DOUGH POKES

Dough Pokes’ move to a food truck won’t change its flair.

Students Jesus did this: “Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, he “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”

After rumors swirled regarding Travis Ford’s job status, Boone Pickens tweeted his endorsement of Ford.

TWITTER SCREENSHOT

Ford to remain at OSU despite another offseason of rumors Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

With a massive contract and affable personality as life preservers, Travis Ford’s tenure as Oklahoma State basketball coach remains afloat. Less than 24 hours after The Oklahoman cited multiple sources saying OSU officials were considering a buyout of Ford’s contract, OSU athletic director Mike Holder released a statement Tuesday announcing Ford is staying at OSU. And maybe more interesting than the news itself is the way it went down. At 5:13 p.m., Boone Pickens — OSU’s mega-

booster and close friend of Holder — tweeted the following: “I’m in Travis Ford’s camp. He deserves more time at #OKState. Go Pokes!” At 6:14 p.m., the OSU athletic department released Holder’s statement, which began, “Given the overwhelming amount of unfounded rumors surrounding the future of our head basketball coach Travis Ford, I am departing from my usual practice of not talking about personnel matters. Travis Ford is our head coach now, and he will be our head coach moving forward.” Although Ford has failed to meet the lofty expectations of the OSU fan base, especially in the past two seasons, he has the benefit of a 10-year

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2015

extension he signed in September 2009. The estimated buyout for the contract is $9.6 million. Worth noting: Holder told The Oklahoman last April, “In retrospect, (the contract) wasn’t good for him or us.” Ford has led the Cowboys to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and five in his seven years as coach. However, Ford is 1-5 in the tournament at OSU and also has a 60-60 total record in Big 12 play. Last season, OSU was a preseason top-10 team, but finished with a 21-13 record and an openinground loss to Gonzaga. This season, Ford led a team that exceeded expectations but sputtered in the final weeks, ending with a first-round loss to

Oregon. All that is fuel for his detractors, of which there are many, but Ford still holds a reputation as a hard-working, genuine coach. Several players — with guard Phil Forte as a prime spokesman — have publicly supported Ford multiple times. “Stupid,” Forte told the O’Colly last season regarding the possibility of Ford being fired. “There is not a coach in the country that works as hard as he does. If you guys could see that stuff that he goes into preparation, whether it’s practice or a game. This is what he does.” It appears those same qualities — and that contract — are enough to buy Ford more time in Stillwater. “No one wants to win

games, win championships and make deep tournament runs more than our coach,” Holder said in his statement. “When I met with Coach Ford at the end of the season, we reviewed this past season and spent time talking about the future of Oklahoma State basketball. I

am convinced Travis is as dedicated as ever to our university and to the young men who play for him. … Let me say, we are fully committed to coach Ford and supporting him and our basketball program.” sports@ocolly.com PAGE 8

Cowboys struggle at the plate in a loss to ORU Marshall Scott @Marshall_Once

TULSA — After a multitude of frames with neither team finding an advantage, a clutch hit from ORU sent the Cowboys home in defeat. The No. 11 Cowboys could not seem to get anything going in a 4-2 loss to Oral Roberts on Tuesday at J.L. Johnson Stadium. The game was tied 2-2 until the eighth inning when Oklahoma State’s “bend but don’t break” defense finally broke. ORU’s catcher Matt Whatley and left fielder Rolando Martinez got the Eagles going in the eighth, both hitting singles to left field. Pitcher Trey Cobb then threw a ball low and outside that got by catcher Gage Green and the runners advanced to second and third. The Cowboys were an out away from getting out of the inning when designated hitter Anthony Sequeira ripped a double to the gap in leftcenter field, scoring two runs, and the Eagles held on to the win. “ORU played a good game,” OSU coach Josh Holliday said. “They got a clutch hit there late in the game, so you tip your cap to them. “In the end they had one quality swing there that made a difference in the game.” OSU second baseman Tim Arakawa had an excellent day at the plate.

KAYLA HODGIN/O’COLLY

Tim Arakawa hit three singles and scored a run in OSU’s loss.

Despite the loss, Arakawa went 3-for-4 with three singles and one run scored. “I was just trying to compete,” Arakawa said. “The guys that they ran out there on the mound, ORU, threw the ball well, and (I) just tried to bring as much energy to the plate as they did to the mound, and luckily I found some barrels.” Both of the Cowboys’ (19-9) runs were scored in the fourth inning. The first came off a groundout to the shortstop by Conor Costello, which scored Arakawa. The second run came an at-bat later when Dustin Williams drove a ball to right field that scored Donnie Walton. Walton initially was supposed to play his collegiate career at ORU (18-9) before his father, pitching coach Rob Walton, was added to the coaching staff

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2015

in Stillwater. “It’s always fun to come back,” Walton said. “It was my big backyard. It’s good to see players that I grew up with. … It’s always good to see them.” Trey Cobb (2-1) was given the loss after 2 2/3 innings; he allowed two runs on four hits and struck out four. “I don’t think either team swung the bat particularly well,” Holliday said. “You can probably attribute that to the pitchers. “ The Cowboys will host Texas in a three-game series this weekend at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. “We put good swings on the ball,” Walton said. “We just missed them. We had a couple of balls where we hit right at people. … It was just one of those games.” sports@ocolly.com O’COLLY

Today’s Birthday (04/01/15). Enjoy fun and adventure this year. You’re getting luckier in love. Practice your arts and passions. Obstacles clear after Saturn goes direct (6/14). Change provokes new focus on a dream for the world. Focus on partnership after 4/4. Career can transform after 10/13. If doubt nibbles after 10/27, remember what you love. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is an 8 -- Play by the rules, slow and steady. Use what you’re learning combined with your active imagination. Let others share expenses. Contribute to the savings jar before buying treats. Don’t gamble. Consider practical strategies to follow a passion. Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Consider the possibilities. Take slow, practical steps around obstacles. Attend to details and run a reality check before committing funds or time. Don’t forget an important job. Prioritize fun and romance today and tomorrow. Play your tricks. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Hit a brick wall at home. Something you’re trying doesn’t work. Don’t ask for more money now. Finish your homework so you can go out. Water figures in your plans. Consider the consequences before taking action. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Wait to see what develops. Seek solid facts to resolve any confusion. Old ideas die hard. Hold your temper, especially if others don’t. Gains come through networking and communications today and tomorrow. Consider a dream symbol. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 9 -- There’s money to be made today and tomorrow. Stick to pragmatic, practical priorities. Take responsibility for the project’s success. Lead graciously. Be diplomatic to go around a roadblock. You get more with honey than vinegar. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 9 -- A new understanding arises with the Moon in your sign today and tomorrow. Stick to solid ground, rather than ephemeral directions. Double-check the address before you leave. Find out what’s expected before launching off. Confirm reservations. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- A dream gets interrupted. Pamper yourself and recharge today and tomorrow. Review where you’ve been and where you’re going. Imagine the finished product. Hold out for what you want, respectfully. Revive your spirit with peaceful introspection. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Parties, meetings and gatherings go well today and tomorrow. Practice being gracious, even to people you don’t like. Schedule carefully, and remain flexible with unexpected delays or circumstances. Networking benefits your professional aims. Enjoy the company. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- A business opportunity arises over the next two days. Keep to your budget, and go for it. Fantasy gets challenged by reality ... keep to practical objectives. Pesky regulations could interfere with your intentions. Check reservations and traffic before traveling. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is an 8 -- Philosophical conversations and flights of fancy go nowhere (but at least entertain). Barriers for travel and studies arise. Evaluate fantastic promises for practical applications. Play with family today and tomorrow. Who says fun needs to be expensive? Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- Don’t let your dreams for the future incite you to splurge on something you can’t afford yet. Save up for it instead. Hunt for a bargain. Keep your eye on the ball. There’s plenty of competition. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Negotiate a fair exchange.

Compromise comes easier today and tomorrow. What you get isn’t necessarily what was expected. Check instructions for errors or changes. Illuminate your work environment to find something missing. Sensitivities become obvious. Clarify issues.
